Description

  The present invention relates to a refrigerator including an indirect cooling chamber in which a cover part and a case part are combined.

  Conventionally, refrigerators are provided with various storage rooms depending on the items to be refrigerated. For example, in addition to a refrigerator room with a door having the largest internal capacity, a vegetable room suitable for storing vegetables, a freezer room for storing frozen products, and the like are provided. In order to maintain freshness, a low pressure chamber that places the room in a low oxygen state may be provided in the refrigerator compartment. The air in the low pressure chamber is exhausted by a vacuum pump or the like, and the pressure in the low pressure chamber is lowered.

  An example of a refrigerator provided with such a low-pressure chamber is described in Patent Document 1. Specifically, Patent Document 1 includes a refrigerating chamber provided with a door, a low-pressure chamber in the refrigerating chamber, and a decompression means for depressurizing the low-pressure chamber, and the low-pressure chamber has an opening for taking in and out stored items. A chamber body, a low-pressure chamber door that opens and closes the food in / out opening, and pressure detection means for determining whether the low-pressure chamber is higher or lower than a predetermined pressure. There is described a refrigerator that stops the decompression means when a second predetermined time has elapsed after the means detects that the pressure is lower than the predetermined pressure. With this configuration, the pressure detection means uses, for example, a pressure detection switch, so that it is not necessary to use a pressure sensor, so that it is not necessary to use an expensive pressure sensor.

Japanese Patent No. 4940046

  Conventionally, for example, in a main refrigeration room (storage room) provided above a refrigerator and having the largest internal capacity, a storage room (section) for cooling food at a temperature lower than the temperature in the refrigeration room may be provided. is there. For example, a storage room that is kept at a lower temperature (for example, around 0 ° C.) than the refrigeration room, while the temperature of the refrigeration room is (about 3 to 5 ° C.) conventionally, is provided in the refrigeration room. There is. Such a storage room (section) is referred to as a “chilled room”, for example. A temperature range of about 0 ° C. is suitable for storing meat, fish, dairy products, kneaded products, pickles and the like.

  It is necessary to actively cool the chilled room in order to lower the temperature than the other parts of the refrigerator room. Therefore, conventionally, in order to lower the temperature of the chilled chamber, cold air is blown out toward the chilled chamber, or a gap is provided in the chilled chamber to increase the amount of cold air flowing into the chilled chamber.

  However, since the dry cold air flows into the chilled chamber, there is a problem that the moisture in the food in the chilled chamber is easily lost (the food is easily dried). If the amount of water evaporation is large, the flavor and appearance of the food may be impaired.

  Therefore, in order to prevent evaporation of moisture from the room, it is conceivable to improve the sealing performance of a specific storage room such as a chilled room. However, when cold air concentrates and blows on a part of the storage chamber with improved sealing performance, the temperature of the portion to which the cold air is blown greatly decreases. If it does so, there exists a problem that a big dew condensation may arise in the storage chamber side of the position corresponding to a temperature fall part.

  Here, in the low-pressure chamber as described in Patent Document 1, since the pressure is reduced while being sealed, there is an advantage that moisture hardly escapes from the low-pressure chamber and drying is easily prevented. However, in exchange for reducing the pressure, there is a problem that the structure of the low-pressure chamber itself and the structure in the vicinity of the low-pressure chamber must be strong enough to withstand the pressure reduction (solid structure) as compared with the case where pressure is not reduced. . Further, it is necessary to provide a low pressure chamber with a strong structure and to separately provide a pressure reducing pump as a pressure reducing means, and there is a problem that the internal volume of the low pressure chamber is reduced as compared with a structure without pressure reduction.

  Further, in the invention described in Patent Document 1, it is understood that the cold air from the outlet is locally blown to the low pressure chamber (Patent Document 1: the cold air outlet 31 for the low pressure chamber in FIGS. 7 and 8). , 32). Therefore, there is a problem that large condensation can occur in the low pressure chamber.

  In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an indirect cooling chamber that is easily sealed and has a high resistance to drying of food without giving a complicated structure to the storage chamber, and blows cold air directly into the indirect cooling chamber. It is possible to prevent condensation in the indirect cooling chamber.

  In order to achieve the above object, a refrigerator according to the present invention generates cold air, cools out the cold air, a storage room, a case portion that accommodates stored items and is movable in the front-rear direction, and above the case portion. And a cover portion that covers the case portion when the case portion is stored, and is provided in the storage chamber and indirectly cooled by the cool air around the case portion and the cover portion. A cooling chamber, a rear outlet that is provided in the storage chamber and blows out the cool air generated by the cooling unit on the rear side of the indirect cooling chamber; and between the rear outlet and the indirect cooling chamber, from the rear outlet And a preventive member that prevents the blown cold air from directly hitting the indirect cooling chamber.

  According to this configuration, the back surface outlet that is provided in the indirect cooling chamber and the storage chamber and blows out the cool air generated by the cooling unit on the back side of the indirect cooling chamber, and between the back surface outlet and the indirect cooling chamber is provided. And a preventive member that prevents the cold air blown out from the outlet from directly hitting the indirect cooling chamber. Thereby, the cold air from the rear outlet does not directly blow into the indirect cooling chamber. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of dew condensation inside the indirect cooling chamber (position corresponding to the intensively cooled portion) due to intensive cooling of a part of the indirect cooling chamber with improved hermeticity. . Moreover, the user does not feel uncomfortable due to the accumulation of condensation in the indirect cooling chamber.

  In addition, an indirect cooling chamber that has high sealing performance and is unlikely to cause drying of food can be provided by simply covering the case with the cover. And compared with the case where decompression is accompanied like a low-pressure chamber, without using a strong member and a reinforcement member, the sealing property of an indirect cooling chamber can be improved easily and entry of cold air can be reduced.

  In the refrigerator having the above-described configuration, the opening area of the rear outlet may be an opening area where the cool air blown out is equal to or lower than a predetermined flow rate.

  With this configuration, it is possible to reduce the momentum of the cool air blown toward the back surface of the indirect cooling chamber, and to further prevent the occurrence of condensation due to a local temperature drop on the back surface of the indirect cooling chamber. Further, the opening area of the rear outlet is set so wide that the cool air blown out becomes a predetermined flow velocity or less. Therefore, the back side of the indirect cooling chamber can be easily cooled in a wide range, and the effect of suppressing the occurrence of condensation in the indirect cooling chamber can be enhanced.

  In the refrigerator having the above-described configuration, the prevention member may be formed integrally with the cover portion.

  With this configuration, it is possible to eliminate the configuration and members for providing the prevention member in the storage chamber at an appropriate position, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the refrigerator and shortening the production process.

Further, in the refrigerator having the above-described configuration, the position of the upper end of the prevention member is a position higher than or equal to the upper end of the rear outlet, and the position of the lower end of the prevention member is a position equal to or higher than the lower end of the rear outlet,
The position of the left end of the prevention member may be located on the left side beyond the left end of the rear outlet, and the position of the right end of the prevention member may be located on the right side beyond the right end of the rear outlet.

  With this configuration, it is possible to prevent all of the cold air blown out from the rear outlet from directly blowing against the rear surface of the indirect cooling chamber. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of condensation due to a local temperature drop in the indirect cooling chamber.

  Further, in the refrigerator configured as described above, a partition shelf for partitioning the storage chamber is provided in the storage chamber, the cover portion is provided below the partition shelf, and the partition shelf and the cover portion are provided with There may be provided a first passage through which a part of the cool air blown out from the rear outlet and hitting the prevention member passes from the rear side to the front side of the indirect cooling chamber.

  With this configuration, a part of the cold air blown out from the rear air outlet is guided toward the front surface of the indirect cooling chamber, so that the cold air can be prevented from accumulating in the rear portion of the indirect cooling chamber. Therefore, it is possible to prevent only the rear portion of the indirect cooling chamber from being cooled, and to cool the upper surface and the front surface of the indirect cooling chamber. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of conspicuous dew condensation in the indirect cooling chamber.

  Moreover, the refrigerator of the said structure WHEREIN: The position of the upper end of the said prevention member may be made into the same height as the position of the upper end of the said back surface outlet.

  With this configuration, a certain amount of cool air can be guided between the back surface of the indirect cooling chamber and the prevention member, and the back surface portion of the indirect cooling chamber can be cooled to such an extent that condensation does not occur. Therefore, the indirect cooling chamber can be cooled evenly.

  In the refrigerator configured as described above, the storage chamber is provided with a plurality of storage chamber outlets together with the rear outlet, and cool air is allowed to flow through the rear outlet and the storage chamber outlet, from the respective outlets. A storage chamber ventilation path for blowing out cool air is connected, and the ventilation path to the rear outlet of the storage chamber ventilation path is such that the flow rate of cold air from the rear outlet is lower than a predetermined flow velocity. You may make it restrict | limit the flow volume of the cool air to a back surface outlet.

  With this configuration, it is possible to reduce the momentum and amount of the wind that blows toward the back of the indirect cooling chamber, and to further prevent the occurrence of condensation due to a local temperature drop on the back of the indirect cooling chamber.

  According to the refrigerator of the present invention, it is possible to provide a refrigerator provided with an indirect cooling chamber that is inexpensive, easily sealed, and difficult to dry ingredients without giving a complicated structure to the storage chamber. Further, it is possible to provide a refrigerator in which cold air is not directly blown to the indirect cooling chamber, and condensation does not occur inside the indirect cooling chamber.

(Generation and circulation of cold air)
An example of the production | generation and circulation of the cool air in the refrigerator 100 which concerns on embodiment is demonstrated using FIGS. FIG. 4 is a cold air circuit diagram showing an example of the flow of cold air in the refrigerator 100.

  First, a cooler 71 and a compressor 72 connected to the cooler 71 are provided below the rear surface of the refrigerator 100. A condenser and an expander (both not shown) are connected to the compressor 72. A refrigerant such as isobutane is circulated by driving the compressor 72 to operate the refrigeration cycle. Thereby, cold air is generated by heat exchange in the cooler 71 on the low temperature side of the refrigeration cycle. The compressor 72 is driven when the indoor temperature of the refrigerator compartment 2 or the upper freezer compartment 4 or the lower freezer compartment 5 rises above the upper limit temperature on the high temperature side with respect to the set temperature, and when the lower limit temperature on the low temperature side with respect to the set temperature is reached. Stopped.

  A first ventilation path 73 is provided behind the upper freezer compartment 4 and the lower freezer compartment 5. A cooler 71 is disposed in the first ventilation path 73. In addition, a refrigerator compartment ventilation path 74 (corresponding to a storage chamber ventilation path) connected to the first ventilation path 73 is provided behind the refrigerator compartment 2. The generated cold air is supplied to each chamber through the first ventilation path 73 and the refrigerator compartment ventilation path 74.

  A first blower 75 is disposed in the first ventilation path 73. The cold air generated by the cooler 71 is sent out by the first blower 75. For example, the cold air sent out by the first blower 75 is supplied to the ice making room 3, the upper freezer room 4, and the lower freezer room 5 through the first ventilation path 73.

  The first ventilation path 73 is connected to an ice making chamber outlet 81 provided on the back surface of the ice making chamber 3 and an upper freezer compartment outlet 82 (see FIG. 3). The cold air generated by the cooler 71 is sent up to the ice making chamber 3 by raising the first ventilation path 73 as shown by an arrow A (see FIG. 3) by driving the first blower 75. Further, the cold air generated by the cooler 71 rises through the first ventilation path 73 as shown by an arrow B (see FIG. 3) by driving the first blower 75 and is sent out to the upper freezer compartment 4. Thereby, the ice making room 3 and the upper freezer room 4 are cooled.

  Then, a lower freezing room 5 is connected to the ice making room 3 and the upper freezing room 4. The cold air that has passed through the ice making chamber 3 and the upper freezing chamber 4 also flows into the lower freezing chamber 5. Thereby, in addition to the ice making chamber 3 and the upper freezer compartment 4, the lower freezer compartment 5 is also cooled. A return ventilation path 76 (see FIG. 2) is provided in the lower rear part of the lower freezer compartment 5 to guide the air and return the cool air to the cooler 71 of the first ventilation path 73. Then, the cool air returns to the cooler 71 through the return ventilation path 76.

  A second blower 77 is disposed in the refrigerator compartment ventilation path 74. The cold air generated by the cooler 71 is also sent out by the second blower 77. For example, the cold air sent out by the second blower 77 is supplied to the refrigerator compartment 2, the chilled compartment 1, and the vegetable compartment 6 via the refrigerator compartment ventilation path 74.

  The upper part of the first ventilation path 73 is connected to the refrigerator compartment ventilation path 74. A refrigeration room damper 78 is provided between the first ventilation path 73 and the refrigeration room ventilation path 74. The cold air that has branched in the direction of the refrigerating room ventilation path 74 at the upper part of the first ventilation path 73 passes through the refrigerating room ventilation path 74 as shown by an arrow C (see FIG. 3) via the refrigerating room damper 78 by driving the second blower 77. Flowing. The refrigerating room ventilation path 74 is connected to a plurality of refrigerating room outlets 83 (corresponding to storage room outlets) on the back side of the refrigerating room 2. Thereby, the cold air flowing through the refrigerator compartment ventilation path 74 is blown out into the refrigerator compartment 2 (in FIG. 3, an example of the refrigerator compartment ventilation path 74 is indicated by a broken line).

  Further, the refrigerator compartment ventilation path 74 is connected to a rear outlet 80 provided on the rear side of the chilled chamber 1. Thereby, the cold air | gas which flows through the refrigerator compartment ventilation path 74 is blown out also from the back of the chilled chamber 1, as shown by the arrow D (refer FIG. 3).

  A return port 84 is provided at the lower back of the refrigerator compartment 2 to collect the cold air below the refrigerator compartment 2 and send it out toward the vegetable compartment 6. The return port 84 is connected to the vegetable compartment 6 by a vegetable compartment ventilation path 79 (see FIG. 3). Thus, the cold air led to the refrigerator compartment ventilation path 74 flows through the refrigerator compartment 2 and the chilled compartment 1 and then flows into the vegetable compartment 6. The cold air that has flowed into the vegetable compartment 6 flows through the vegetable compartment 6 and returns to the cooler 71 via the ventilation path 76. When the refrigerator compartment 2, the chilled compartment 1, and the vegetable compartment 6 are cooled and reach a set temperature, the refrigerator compartment damper 78 is closed.

  In the refrigerator 100 of the embodiment, the ice making room 3, the upper freezer room 4, and the refrigerating room 2 are arranged in parallel in a cold air circuit (see FIG. 4). Further, the ice making room 3 and the upper freezer room 4 are arranged in series with the lower freezer room 5. The vegetable compartment 6 is arranged in series with the refrigerator compartment 2. And the cooler 71, the compressor 72, the 1st air blower 75, the 2nd air blower 77, and various ventilation paths generate | occur | produce cold air in the refrigerator compartment 2 or the chilled chamber 1, and function as a cooling part which sends out cold air.

(Outline of chilled room 1)
Next, the outline | summary of the chilled chamber 1 of the refrigerator 100 which concerns on embodiment is demonstrated using FIG. 5, FIG. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the chilled chamber. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a state in which the partition shelf 24 at the top of the chilled chamber 1 is removed.

  As described above, the chilled chamber 1 is provided on the right side in the space between the lowermost partition shelf 24 in the refrigerator compartment 2 and the bottom surface 2a of the refrigerator compartment 2. In other words, the chilled chamber 1 is provided in the refrigerator compartment 2. Unlike the conventional one, the chilled chamber 1 in the present embodiment is a storage chamber that improves hermeticity and performs refrigeration by indirect cooling. Specifically, the temperature in the chilled chamber 1 is lowered not by cooling the interior of the chilled chamber 1 by flowing cool air into the chilled chamber 1 but by cooling with ambient cool air (by indirect cooling).

  Specifically, the chilled chamber 1 accommodates stored items (foodstuffs), is provided in the front and rear direction of the case part 11, and below the partition shelf 24 and above the case part 11, and stores the case part 11. And a cover portion 12 that covers the case portion 11 (covers the case portion 11). As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the cover 12 has a box shape with an open bottom surface. The case 11 also has a box shape with an upper surface opened.

  The case part 11 can be pulled out in the front / rear direction (front-rear direction), or after being pulled out, the case part 11 can be pushed into a retracted state. A handle portion 13 for hooking a finger is provided below the front portion of the case portion 11 for inserting and removing the case portion 11.

  And the case part 11 is made into a retracted state so that the clearance gap between the lower end part of the cover part 12 and the upper end part of the case part 11 may be lose | eliminated. Therefore, the size seen from the up-down direction of the lower end edge part of the cover part 12 and the upper end edge part of the case part 11 is made the same.

  Specifically, when the case portion 11 is in the retracted state, the cover portion 12 covers the case portion 11 so as to prevent inflow and outflow of cold air from between the case portion 11 and the cover portion 12 (FIGS. 5, 6, and 5). (See 8). More specifically, the length of the side of the lower end edge portion 12F of the front portion (front portion) of the cover portion 12 is equal to the length of the side of the upper end edge portion 11F of the front portion (front portion) of the case portion 11, or Almost equal. Further, the length of the side of the lower end edge portion 12B of the back surface portion (rear portion) of the cover portion 12 and the length of the side of the upper end edge portion 11B of the back surface portion (rear portion) of the case portion 11 are equal or substantially equal. . Further, the lengths of the sides of the lower edge portions 12R and 12L of the left and right side portions (left and right portions) of the cover portion 12 and the lengths of the sides of the upper edge portions 11R and 11L of the left and right side portions (left and right portions) of the case portion 11 are also shown. The lengths are equal or nearly equal.

  In the case portion 11, the case portion side facing portion (upper edge portions 11 </ b> R and 11 </ b> L in the present embodiment) facing the cover portion 12 in the left-right direction of the case portion 11, and the cover portion 12 among the cover portion 12. The case portion 11 is stored such that there is no gap between the cover portion side facing portions (in this embodiment, the lower edge portions 12R and 12L) facing the case portion 11 in the left-right direction. Further, in the case portion 11, the case portion side facing portion (the upper end edge portion 11 </ b> F in the present embodiment) facing the cover portion 12 on the front side of the case portion 11, and the cover portion 12, the front side of the cover portion 12. Thus, the case part 11 is stored so that there is no gap between the cover part side facing part (in this embodiment, the lower end edge part 12F) facing the case part 11. Further, in the case portion 11, the case portion side facing portion (the upper end edge portion 11 </ b> B in this embodiment) facing the cover portion 12 on the back side of the case portion 11, and the cover portion 12, the back side of the cover portion 12. Thus, the case portion 11 is stored such that there is no gap between the cover portion side facing portion (in this embodiment, the lower end edge portion 12B) facing the case portion 11.

  In addition, when the case part 11 is set in the retracted state, a seal member 14 is provided so that there is no gap between the cover part 12 and the case part 11 (details will be described later).

  Further, the cover portion 12 is attached to the partition shelf 24. Therefore, in the refrigerator compartment 2, the cover part 12 will be in the state hung by the partition shelf 24. FIG. For example, a plurality of engaging claws (not shown) for fitting are provided on either the upper surface of the cover portion 12 or the lower side of the partition shelf 24. And the engaging part (not shown) in which an engaging claw is engage | inserted is provided in either other. Thereby, the cover part 12 is fixed and supported so that the cover part 12 is positioned at a fixed position with respect to the partition shelf 24, the refrigerator compartment 2, and the case part 11.

(Indirect cooling of chilled chamber 1)
Next, details of indirect cooling of the chilled chamber 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. FIG. 7 is an explanatory view showing an example of a wall surface portion 2 b of the refrigerator compartment 2 on the back side of the chilled chamber 1. FIG. 8 is a schematic right side sectional view of the chilled chamber 1 portion.

  As shown in FIG. 7, a rear outlet 80 (which can be said to be a kind of the refrigerator compartment outlet 83) is provided in the wall surface portion 2 b on the inner side of the refrigerator compartment 2 on the inner side of the chilled chamber 1. The width in the left-right direction of the rear outlet 80 can be determined as appropriate (for example, about one-tenth to one-tenth of the lateral width of the chilled chamber 1). Further, the number of the rear outlets 80 is not limited to one, and two or more rear outlets 80 may be provided while providing an interval.

  In addition, a return port 84 is provided on the right side of the rear outlet 80 in the wall surface portion 2 b of the refrigerator compartment 2 on the back side of the chilled chamber 1. As shown in FIG. 7, the return port 84 can be provided with a fan 85 that sends out the cold air in the refrigerator compartment 2 toward the vegetable compartment 6, the cooler 71, and the like.

  And as shown in FIG. 8, the back surface outlet 80 provided in the back side of the chilled chamber 1 blows off cool air toward the back surface of the cover part 12 (chilled chamber 1). This cold air indirectly cools the chilled chamber 1. Since the cold air gathers at the return port 84, the cold air blown from the plurality of cold room outlets 83 to the cold room 2 above the chilled room 1 also descends around the chilled room 1, Cool indirectly.

  And as shown in FIG. 8, it is provided between the partition shelf 24 and the cover part 12, is in contact with the upper surface of the cover part 12 (using the upper surface of the cover part 12 as a wall surface of the passage), and from the rear outlet 80. A first passage 15 through which cold air passes from the back side of the chilled chamber 1 toward the front side is provided. In addition, in FIG. 8, the flow of the cold air which blows off from the back surface outlet 80 and is transmitted through the 1st channel | path 15 is illustrated with a white arrow.

  Specifically, a space between the partition shelf 24 and the upper surface of the cover portion 12 is used as the first passage 15. As a result, the first passage 15 is formed over (substantially) the entire top surface of the cover portion 12. In other words, a flat portion of the upper surface of the cover portion 12 is used as the first passage 15. Thereby, the upper surface of the cover part 12 contacts the cold as a whole. Therefore, the chilled chamber 1 can be efficiently cooled.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 8, the cold air sent to the front side of the chilled chamber 1 while in contact with the upper surface of the cover portion 12 flows downward from the side surface of the chilled chamber 1. In other words, the first passage 15 causes the cold air flowing into the first passage 15 to flow to the side surface of the chilled chamber 1.

  Specifically, a guide wall 16 is provided at the edge portion of the upper surface of the cover portion 12 for flowing the cold air flowing into the first passage 15 to the side surface of the chilled chamber 1 (see FIG. 6). The guide wall 16 is provided on the left and right edge portions of the upper surface of the cover portion 12. The guide wall 16 extends from the upper surface of the cover portion 12 toward the partition shelf 24 and is in contact with the partition shelf 24 or a gap is provided between the guide wall 16 and the partition shelf 24.

  The guide wall 16 is erected between the left and right edge portions of the upper surface of the cover portion 12 from the back surface to the end point position 16a provided on the front side rather than the center position in the front-rear direction. Thereby, after a certain amount of cold air is sent to the front (front side) of the chilled chamber 1 (cover portion 12), the left and right side surfaces of the chilled chamber 1 (right side direction of the refrigerator compartment 2 and the egg case 26 and the chilled chamber 1). Between). As described above, since the area where the cold air is in contact with the chilled chamber 1 is obtained, the interior of the chilled chamber 1 can be sufficiently cooled even by indirect cooling.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, it is provided between the lower surface (bottom surface 2 a) of the refrigerator compartment 2 and the case portion 11 (provided below the case portion 11), and is in contact with the lower surface of the case portion 11 (case portion 11). ), And a second passage 17 through which cool air passes from the front side of the chilled chamber 1 toward the return port 84. In FIG. 8, the flow of cold air from the entire surface side of the chilled chamber 1 toward the return port 84 is indicated by a shaded arrow.

  Specifically, a space between the lower surface (bottom surface 2 a) of the refrigerator compartment 2 and the case portion 11 is used as the second passage 17. Thereby, the second passage 17 is formed on the lower surface of the case portion 11. In other words, a flat portion of the lower surface (bottom surface) of the case portion 11 is used as the second passage 17. Thereby, the lower surface of the case part 11 can also be made to contact cold air. Therefore, the chilled chamber 1 can be efficiently cooled.

  In addition, in order to mount the case part 11 while providing the 2nd channel | path 17, a part of bottom face 2a of the refrigerator compartment 2 is good also as a raised shape. The case portion 11 is placed on the raised portion, and the case portion 11 can be stored in a stable state.

  The rear outlet 80 is provided on the rear side of the chilled chamber 1 and above the return port 84. Further, the rear outlet 80 is provided to the left of the center of the chilled chamber 1 and the return port 84 is provided on the right side of the center of the chilled chamber 1. Thereby, the cold air blown from the rear outlet 80 can flow on the upper surface of the cover portion 12 in an oblique direction with respect to the direction in which the case portion 11 is put in and out (front-rear direction). In other words, it is possible to flow cool air while gaining a surface area in contact with the cover portion 12, and the chilled chamber 1 can be indirectly cooled efficiently.

  When the rear outlet 80 is provided on the right side of the center of the chilled chamber 1, the return port 84 may be provided on the left side of the center of the chilled chamber 1.

(Seal member 14)
Next, the sealing member 14 that closes the gap between the cover portion 12 and the case portion 11 of the chilled chamber 1 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 9A is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of the sealing member 14R that closes the gap between the cover portion 12 and the right side surface portion of the case portion 11 corresponding to the position of the portion A surrounded by the broken line in FIG. FIG. 8B is an enlarged view of the portion surrounded by the broken line A in FIG. 8 as viewed from the front, and is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of the sealing member 14L that closes the gap between the cover portion 12 and the left side portion of the case portion 11. It is. FIG. 10 is an enlarged view of a portion B surrounded by a broken line in FIG. FIG. 11 is an enlarged view of a portion C surrounded by a broken line in FIG.

<Sealing of gaps at the left and right sides of the chilled chamber 1>
First, the sealing of the gap between the cover portion 12 and the case portion 11 at the left and right side portions of the chilled chamber 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, as shown in FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B, the chilled chamber 1 of the present embodiment has a lower end edge portion 12R, 12L (cover portion side facing portion) in the left-right direction of the cover portion 12. Attached as a part of the cover part 12, between the upper edge 11R, 11L (case part side facing part) in the left-right direction of the case part 11 and the lower edge 12R, 12L in the left-right direction of the cover part 12 Seal members 14R and 14L that close the gap are provided. The seal members 14 </ b> R and 14 </ b> L are packings that prevent inflow and outflow of air into the chilled chamber 1.

  The seal members 14R and 14L have a U-shape (concave shape), and the recessed portions are fitted into the lower end edges 12R and 12L (cover portion side facing portions) of the cover portion 12. Thus, the seal members 14R and 14L are attached to the cover part 12 as a part of the cover part 12.

  The seal members 14R and 14L may be attached to the upper edge portions 11R and 11L (case portion side facing portions) in the left-right direction of the case portion 11 as a part of the case portion 11 (the seal members 14R and 14L are You may attach to the case part 11 side). 9A and 9B, an example of the case where the seal members 14R and 14L are provided on the case part 11 side is illustrated by broken lines.

  When the case portion 11 is in the retracted state (when the cover portion 12 is in a state of covering the case portion 11) with these seal members 14R and 14L, the air into the chilled chamber 1 at the side surface portion of the chilled chamber 1 Inflow and outflow of air from the chilled chamber 1 are prevented. Therefore, the hermeticity of the chilled chamber 1 can be improved.

  Here, the upper end edges 11R, 11L (case portion side facing portions) in the left-right direction of the case portion 11 are inclined so as to be higher on the front side and lower on the back side (in an inclined shape). is there). Corresponding to the inclination of the upper edge portions 11R, 11L of the case portion 11, the lower edge portions 12R, 12L (cover portion side facing portions) in the left-right direction of the cover portion 12 are slanted so as to become lower toward the back side. The shape is slanted so as to be higher toward the side (inclined shape).

  The angle of inclination can be determined as appropriate. In the refrigerator 100 of the present embodiment, the inclination angle is not caught by the cover part 12 when the case part 11 is pulled out, and in order to secure a sufficient storage amount, an angle of about 5 to 15 degrees with respect to the horizontal plane. Is done. More preferably, the inclination is about 7 to 9 degrees with respect to the horizontal plane.

  Thereby, the state where the seal members 14R and 14L and the upper end edge portions 11R and 11L of the case portion 11 are rubbed does not continue, and the case portion 11 can be smoothly pulled out with a light force. Further, the state in which the seal members 14R, 14L and the upper end edges 11R, 11L of the case part 11 are rubbed does not continue, and the case part 11 can be smoothly returned to the retracted state with a light force. Further, it is difficult to deteriorate due to the friction of the seal members 14R and 14L. Further, the seal members 14R and 14L are not detached from the lower end edges 12R and 12L of the cover portion 12 due to friction.

<Seal for gaps in front of chilled chamber 1>
Next, the sealing of the gap between the cover portion 12 and the case portion 11 at the front portion of the chilled chamber 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 10, the chilled chamber 1 of the present embodiment is attached as a part of the cover part 12 to the upper part on the front side of the cover part 12 (cover part side facing part), and the front of the case part 11. A seal member 14 </ b> F is provided to close a gap between the upper side portion (case portion side facing portion) and the front side upper portion of the cover portion 12. Specifically, the seal member 14 </ b> F is attached to the front side lower end edge portion 12 </ b> F of the cover portion 12 as a part of the cover portion 12. The seal member 14 </ b> F is also a packing that prevents air from flowing into and out of the chilled chamber 1.

  The seal member 14 </ b> F has a U-shape (concave shape), and the recessed portion is fitted into the upper portion on the front side of the cover portion 12 (front side lower end edge portion 12 </ b> F, cover portion side facing portion). Thereby, the seal member 14 </ b> F is attached to the cover part 12 as a part of the cover part 12.

  The seal member 14F may be attached as a part of the case portion 11 to the upper portion on the front side of the case portion 11 (the front side upper edge portion 11F of the case portion 11 and the case portion side facing portion) (the seal member 14F). May be attached to the case 11 side). In addition, in FIG. 11, an example at the time of providing the sealing member 14F in the case part 11 side is illustrated with the broken line.

  When the case portion 11 is in the retracted state by the seal member 14F (when the cover portion 12 covers the case portion 11), the air into the chilled chamber 1 at the front portion (front portion) of the chilled chamber 1 Inflow and air outflow from the chilled chamber 1 are prevented. Therefore, the hermeticity of the chilled chamber 1 can be improved.

  Here, the front side upper portion (upper edge portion 11F, case portion side facing portion) of the case portion 11 is in contact with the seal member 14F in the front-rear direction. The shape of the cover part 12 may also bend (a part of the cover part 12 swells downward) due to the influence of the deflection of the partition shelf 24 (the load related to the partition shelf). However, the front side upper part (upper end edge part 11F) of the case part 11 and the front side upper part (lower end edge part 12F) of the cover part 12 are in contact in the front-rear direction via the seal member 14F. The force required for taking in and out is almost the same regardless of the deformation of the shape of the cover portion 12.

<Seal of gap at the back of chilled chamber 1>
Next, with reference to FIG. 8 and FIG. 11, the seal of the gap between the cover portion 12 and the case portion 11 at the back surface portion of the chilled chamber 1 of the present embodiment will be described.

  First, as shown in FIG. 11, the chilled chamber 1 according to the present embodiment is attached as a part of the cover portion 12 to the back side lower end edge portion 12 </ b> B (cover portion side facing portion) of the cover portion 12. A seal member 14B is provided to close a gap between the upper end edge portion 11B (case portion side facing portion) on the back side and the back side lower end edge portion 12B of the cover portion 12. Specifically, the seal member 14 </ b> B is attached to the back side lower edge 12 </ b> B of the cover part 12 as a part of the cover part 12. The seal member 14 </ b> B is also a packing that prevents the inflow and outflow of air into the chilled chamber 1.

  The seal member 14 </ b> B has a U-shape (concave shape), and a recessed portion is fitted into the back side lower end edge portion 12 </ b> B of the cover portion 12. Thereby, the seal member 14 </ b> B is attached to the cover part 12 as a part of the cover part 12.

  The seal member 14B may be attached as a part of the case portion 11 to the upper back edge 11B (case portion side facing portion) of the case portion 11 (the seal member 14B may be attached to the case portion 11 side). ). In addition, in FIG. 11, an example at the time of providing the sealing member 14B in the case part 11 side is illustrated with the broken line.

  When the case portion 11 is in the retracted state by the seal member 14B (when the case portion 11 is covered with the cover portion 12), the air into the chilled chamber 1 at the rear portion (rear portion) of the chilled chamber 1 Inflow and air outflow from the chilled chamber 1 are prevented. Therefore, the hermeticity of the chilled chamber 1 can be improved.

  Here, the upper end edge portion 11B of the case portion 11 is in contact with the seal member 14B in the front-rear direction. The shape of the cover part 12 may also bend (a part of the cover part 12 swells downward) due to the influence of the deflection of the partition shelf 24 (the load related to the partition shelf). However, since the upper end edge portion 11B of the case portion 11 and the lower end edge portion 12B of the cover portion 12 are in contact with each other in the front-rear direction via the seal member 14B, the force required for the case portion 11 to be taken in and out is the shape of the cover portion 12. There is almost no change regardless of deflection.

(Condensation prevention in chilled chamber 1)
Next, an example of preventing condensation in the chilled chamber 1 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 7, 8, and 11.

  As described above, the rear outlet 80 is provided on the back of the chilled chamber 1 (see FIGS. 7 and 8). As shown in FIG. 8, the rear outlet 80 blows out cold air toward the chilled chamber 1 (cover portion 12).

  If the cold air blown out from the rear outlet 80 directly hits the cover portion 12 (the back surface of the cover portion 12), the temperature of the portion of the chilled chamber 1 where the cold air is blown greatly decreases. Here, since the chilled chamber 1 of the present embodiment has high hermeticity, the moisture in the chilled chamber does not escape unlike the conventional chilled chamber. Therefore, dew condensation may occur at a position inside the chilled chamber 1 corresponding to the temperature-decreasing portion. At least, when the cold air blown out from the rear outlet 80 directly hits the cover part 12, condensation tends to occur in the chilled chamber 1. If dew condensation occurs and water drops hang down, the stored product may get wet or water may accumulate in the chilled chamber 1.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, in the refrigerator 100 of the present embodiment, the cold air from the rear outlet 80 directly flows between the rear outlet 80 and the chilled chamber 1 (cover portion 12). A prevention member 9 is provided for preventing (avoiding) spraying on the part 12).

  The prevention member 9 is provided in the vertical direction so that the blown-out cold air does not directly hit the chilled chamber 1 main body with respect to the blow-out direction (substantially horizontal direction) of the cold air at the rear outlet 80.

And the position of the upper end of the prevention member 9 is a position more than the upper end of the back surface outlet 80, the position of the lower end of the prevention member 9 is located below the lower end of the back surface outlet 80, and the left end of the prevention member 9 The position is located on the left side beyond the left end of the rear outlet 80, and the right end position of the prevention member 9 is located on the right side beyond the right end of the rear outlet 80. In FIG. 7, an example of the shape of the prevention member 9 seen from the front direction is illustrated in a shaded area. Thus, the area of the surface of the prevention member 9 facing the rear outlet 80 is larger than the opening area of the rear outlet 80. And the prevention member 9 is provided in the position which covers the back surface outlet 80 seeing from a front direction.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 8, the prevention member 9 is formed integrally with the cover portion 12. The prevention member 9 is not necessarily formed integrally with the cover portion 12 (chilled chamber 1). For example, the prevention member 9 may be separated from the cover portion 12 (the chilled chamber 1) by being supported by the wall surface of the refrigerating chamber 2.

  In the present embodiment, the extending portion 91 extending in the horizontal direction from the vicinity of the lower end edge portion 12B on the back side of the cover portion 12 is provided, and the end of the extending portion 91 on the back side of the chilled chamber 1 is directed upward (horizontal A barrier wall 92 is provided that is bent in the direction) and extends in a substantially vertical direction. The extending portion 91 and the barrier portion 92 serve as the prevention member 9. Further, the barrier portion 92 is provided at a position separated from the back surface portion of the cover portion 12 to some extent by the extending portion 91. Therefore, a gap 9D is provided between the barrier 92 and the back surface of the cover 12. In addition, the upper end of the prevention member 9 is bent in order to ensure the strength of the prevention member 9.

  Between the partition shelf 24 provided in the refrigerator compartment 2 and partitioning the refrigerator compartment 2 and the cover portion 12 provided (attached) below the partition shelf, the blower is blown out from the rear outlet 80 and hits the prevention member 9. A first passage 15 through which a part of the cool air passes from the rear side of the chilled chamber 1 toward the front side is provided. Specifically, a part of the cool air from the rear outlet 80 that has hit the prevention member 9 is directed upward. A partition 18 (see FIG. 8) may be provided between the rear air outlet 80 and the return port 84 so that the cool air from the rear air outlet 80 is directed toward the first passage 15 instead of toward the return port 84. . By this first passage 15, the upper surface of the cover portion 12 (chilled chamber 1) can be efficiently cooled over a wide range.

  Further, a part of the cool air blown to the prevention member 9 and directed upward enters between the prevention member 9 and the back surface of the cover portion 12 (interval 9D). Therefore, the interior of the back surface of the cover portion 12 is indirectly cooled by cold air. However, compared with the case where the cool air is directly blown onto the cover portion 12, the cool air comes into contact with the back surface of the cover portion 12 after detouring by the prevention member 9. Therefore, the temperature of the back surface portion of the cover portion 12 is not greatly reduced compared to other portions, and no condensation occurs in the chilled chamber 1.

  Further, as described above, the prevention member 9 is provided to face the rear outlet 80, and the interval 9D between the barrier portion 92 of the prevention member 9 and the back surface of the cover portion 12 is determined by the cover portion 12 (chilled chamber 1). Is missing in the left-right direction. Therefore, the cold air that has entered the space 9D between the barrier portion 92 of the prevention member 9 and the back surface of the cover portion 12 does not stagnate and eventually escapes toward the first passage 15. Therefore, only a part of the back surface of the cover part 12 is not cooled.

  Here, if the flow rate of the cold air blown out from the rear outlet 80 is too high, the inside of the back surface of the cover portion 12 is concentrated by the flow or turbulence of the cold air generated on the back side of the chilled chamber 1 even if the prevention member 9 is present. Parts that cool down can occur. Therefore, in the refrigerator 100 of the present embodiment, the opening area of the rear outlet 80 is an opening area where the cool air blown out is equal to or lower than a predetermined flow rate.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the rear outlet 80 of the present embodiment is horizontally long and has a wide opening area. In the conventional refrigerator 100, in order to cool the chilled chamber 1 positively, the opening area of the air outlet for cooling the chilled chamber 1 is intentionally narrowed to increase the flow rate. From such a background, it can be said that there is no idea that the flow rate of the outlet for cooling the chilled chamber 1 is equal to or lower than a predetermined flow rate.

  However, in the refrigerator 100 of the present embodiment, the hermeticity of the chilled chamber 1 is enhanced, and condensation may occur in the chilled chamber 1 if the flow rate of the cold air from the rear outlet 80 is too high. Therefore, in the refrigerator 100 of the present embodiment, the opening area (cross-sectional area) of the rear outlet 80 is an opening area in which the cool air blown out is equal to or less than a predetermined flow rate (flow rate at which condensation does not occur in the chilled chamber 1). Is done.

  Taking into account the position of the rear outlet 80 and the like, the flow rate of the cold air from the rear outlet 80 when condensation does not occur in the chilled chamber 1 is determined empirically and the opening area of the rear outlet 80 is determined. Just do it. Moreover, the opening area of the back surface outlet 80 should just be more than the opening area recognized that condensation does not arise.

  Furthermore, in order to prevent dew condensation inside the chilled chamber 1, the flow rate of the cool air blown out from the rear outlet 80 itself may be limited.

  As described above, the refrigerator compartment 2 is provided with a plurality of refrigerator compartment outlets 83 along with the rear outlet 80. Each of these air outlets is connected to a cold room air passage 74 through which cold air flows to the rear air outlet 80 and the cold room air outlet 83 and from which the cold air is blown out. And as shown in FIG. 3, the ventilation path to the back surface outlet 80 of the refrigerator compartment ventilation path 74 is made into the shape which restrict | limits the flow volume of the cool air to the back surface outlet 80 to some extent.

  Specifically, the refrigerating room ventilation path 74 restricts the flow rate of the cool air to the back surface outlet 80 so that the flow rate of the cool air from the back surface outlet 80 is lower than a predetermined flow rate. For example, in the refrigerating room ventilation path 74, the passage of cold air to the rear outlet 80 is narrowed. Thereby, compared with the other refrigerator compartment outlet 83, the flow velocity and flow volume of cold air can be reduced relatively.

(Modification)
Next, a modification will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a schematic right side cross-sectional view of the chilled chamber 11 portion for explaining a modification.

  The example in which the position of the upper end of the prevention member 9 is a position higher than the upper end of the rear outlet 80 has been described. In this case, the cold air blown out from the rear outlet 80 is guided toward the first passage 15 by the barrier portion 92 of the prevention member 9. However, depending on the flow rate and flow rate of the cool air blown out from the back outlet 80, there may be a case where a large amount of cool air is desired to flow between the back surface of the chilled chamber 1 (cover portion 12) and the prevention member 9.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12, the position of the upper end of the prevention member 9 (the upper end position of the barrier portion 92) is set to the same height as the position of the upper end of the rear outlet 80. In other words, the upper end position of the prevention member 9 (wall prevention part 92) is lowered as compared with the above embodiment. Thereby, it is possible to allow sufficient cool air to flow in the space 9 </ b> D between the prevention member 9 and the back surface of the cover portion 12.

    In this way, the refrigerator 1001 according to the embodiment generates cool air and cools the cool air (the cooler 71, the compressor 72, the first ventilation path 73, the refrigerator compartment ventilation path 74, the first blower 75, the second Blower 77 and the like), the refrigerator compartment 2, the stored case, the case part 11 that can be moved in the front-rear direction, and the case part 11 provided above the case part 11 in the stored state. An indirect cooling chamber (chilled chamber 1) that is provided in the refrigerating chamber 2 and is indirectly cooled by cool air around the case portion 11 and the cover portion 12, and in the refrigerating chamber 2. The rear air outlet 80 that blows out the cool air generated by the cooling unit on the back side of the indirect cooling chamber, and the cold air blown out from the rear air outlet 80 directly hits the indirect cooling chamber between the rear air outlet 80 and the indirect cooling chamber. Preventive member to prevent And, including the.

  Thereby, the cold air from the rear outlet 80 does not directly blow into the indirect cooling chamber (chilled chamber 1). Therefore, a part of the indirect cooling chamber with enhanced hermeticity is intensively cooled, so that it is possible to prevent the occurrence of dew condensation inside the indirect cooling chamber (position corresponding to the intensively cooled portion). In addition, the user does not feel uncomfortable due to the accumulation of condensation in the indirect cooling chamber.

  Moreover, the indirect cooling chamber (chilled chamber 1) which has high airtightness and hardly causes drying of food can be provided only by covering the case portion 11 with the cover portion 12. And compared with the case where decompression is accompanied like a low-pressure chamber, without using a strong member and a reinforcement member, the sealing property of an indirect cooling chamber can be improved easily and entry of cold air can be reduced.

  Further, the opening area of the rear outlet 80 is an opening area where the cool air blown out becomes a predetermined flow velocity or less. Thereby, the momentum of the cold air blown toward the back surface of the indirect cooling chamber (chilled chamber 1) can be reduced, and the occurrence of condensation due to a local temperature drop on the back surface of the indirect cooling chamber can be further prevented. Moreover, the opening area of the back outlet 80 is set so wide that the cool air blown out becomes below a predetermined flow velocity. Therefore, the back side of the indirect cooling chamber can be easily cooled in a wide range, and the effect of suppressing the occurrence of condensation in the indirect cooling chamber can be enhanced.

  The prevention member 9 is formed integrally with the cover portion 12. Thereby, the structure and member for providing the prevention member 9 in the refrigerator compartment 2 in an appropriate position can be eliminated, the manufacturing cost of the refrigerator 100 can be reduced, and the production process can be shortened.

  Further, the position of the upper end of the prevention member 9 is a position higher than the upper end of the rear outlet 80, the position of the lower end of the prevention member 9 is a position higher than the lower end of the rear outlet 80, and the position of the left end of the prevention member 9 is The left end of the rear air outlet 80 is positioned on the left side and the right end of the prevention member 9 is positioned on the right side of the rear air outlet 80 beyond the right end. Thereby, it is possible to prevent all of the cold air blown out from the rear outlet 80 from directly blowing on the back of the indirect cooling chamber (chilled chamber 1). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of condensation due to a local temperature drop in the indirect cooling chamber.

  The refrigerating room 2 is provided with a partition shelf 24 for partitioning the refrigerating room 2, a cover portion 12 is provided below the partition shelf 24, and is blown out from the rear outlet 80 between the partition shelf 24 and the cover portion 12. In addition, a first passage 15 is provided through which a part of the cold air hitting the prevention member 9 passes from the back side to the front side of the indirect cooling chamber (chilled chamber 1). Thereby, a part of the cold air blown out from the rear outlet 80 is guided toward the front surface of the indirect cooling chamber (chilled chamber 1), so that the cold air can be prevented from accumulating in the rear portion of the indirect cooling chamber. Therefore, it is possible to prevent only the back surface portion of the indirect cooling chamber (chilled chamber 1) from being cooled, and to cool the indirect cooling chamber (chilled chamber 1) including the upper surface and the front surface thereof. Therefore, the conspicuous dew condensation can be suppressed in the indirect cooling chamber (chilled chamber 1).

  Note that the position of the upper end of the prevention member 9 may be the same height as the position of the upper end of the rear outlet 80. Thereby, a certain amount of cool air can be guided between the back surface of the indirect cooling chamber (chilled chamber 1) and the prevention member 9, and the back surface portion of the indirect cooling chamber can be cooled to the extent that condensation does not occur. Therefore, the indirect cooling chamber can be cooled evenly.

  The refrigerating room 2 is provided with a plurality of refrigerating room air outlets 83 in addition to the rear air outlets 80, and cold air flows through the back air outlets 80 and the refrigerating room air outlets 83 so as to blow out the cold air from the respective air outlets. The room ventilation path 74 is connected, and the ventilation path to the rear outlet 80 in the refrigerator compartment ventilation path 74 is directed to the rear outlet 80 so that the flow rate of the cool air from the rear outlet 80 is lower than a predetermined flow rate. Limit the cool air flow. As a result, it is possible to reduce the momentum and amount of the wind blown toward the back of the indirect cooling chamber (chilled chamber 1), and to further prevent the occurrence of condensation due to a local temperature drop on the back of the indirect cooling chamber.

  Next, another embodiment will be described. In the above embodiment, the chilled chamber 11 has been described as an example of the indirect cooling chamber. However, it is not limited to the chilled room 11, and a storage room (for example, a storage room of about several degrees below freezing point) provided in another refrigerator 100 may be used as an indirect cooling room.

  In the above embodiment, an example in which the seal member (14R, 14L, 14F, 14B) is provided to fill the gap between the cover portion 12 and the case portion 11 has been described. However, when the case portion 11 is in the retracted state (when the cover portion 12 and the case portion 11 are overlapped), the cover portion 12 and the case portion are arranged so that the lower end edge of the cover portion 12 and the upper end edge of the case portion 11 are in contact with each other. 11 may be formed to improve the sealing property of the chilled chamber 1. In other words, when overlapped, the cover portion 12 and the case portion 11 are formed so that there is no gap between the cover portion 12 and the case portion 11, or even if a gap is generated, the gap is within a predetermined allowable range. Also good.

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

  The present invention can be used for a refrigerator provided with an indirect cooling chamber.
