Description

  The present embodiment relates to a refrigerator assembly system and a refrigerator.

  In the refrigerator, a heat insulating material constituting the casing of the refrigerator is formed by disposing a heat insulating material between the inner box and the outer box.

  However, in the refrigerator having the above configuration, the inner box has a three-dimensional shape that matches the volume of the heat insulating box, and each time the inner box has a different volume, different inner boxes are required. Inner boxes of different sizes for each volume must be prepared as intermediate members, and it is necessary to have a wide stock space and intermediate stock, which makes it difficult to handle multiple types of production.

  Further, since the inner box is a resin molded product by vacuum molding or the like, a punching taper for removing from the mold is present in the inner box. In the refrigerator having the above configuration, when all or part of the space between the inner box and the outer box is filled with the foam insulation, a jig for supporting the inner surface of the inner box in a surface contact state is required. If there is a taper, a jig cannot be shared by inner boxes of different sizes, and a jig is required for each volume. Therefore, as the number of products having different volumes increases, the equipment cost related to the jig and the space for stocking the jig also increase, which makes it difficult to cope with the production of a plurality of products.
