Description

The present invention relates to a refrigerator equipped with a speaker.

Some refrigerators are equipped with speakers that can emit warning sounds and voices. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a refrigerator in which a speaker 42 that emits warning sounds is mounted on a circuit board provided in a recessed case 40 inside a hinge cover 35 on the front upper part of the refrigerator.

JP 2004-85071 A

In the configuration disclosed in Patent Document 1, a warning sound is emitted upward from a speaker 42 located on the top surface of the refrigerator. However, if the sound-emitting part of the speaker faces upward, the speaker is more likely to break down if water or the like is splashed on the top surface of the refrigerator from above.

Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a refrigerator that can improve the durability of the speaker.

A refrigerator according to one aspect of the present invention includes a refrigerator body, a speaker that is disposed on the top surface of the refrigerator body and emits sound forward, and an inclined portion that is disposed in front of the speaker and faces the speaker, and that inclines upward as it moves forward.

According to one aspect of the present invention, in a refrigerator equipped with a speaker, clear sound can be directed to the front of the refrigerator.

First Embodiment
In this embodiment, a refrigerator according to one aspect of the present invention will be described as an example of a refrigerator having a speaker and a human detection sensor on the top surface of the refrigerator main body.

<Overall configuration of refrigerator>
1 shows the configuration of the front side of a refrigerator 1 according to this embodiment. The outer shape of the main body of the refrigerator 1 is mainly formed by an insulated box (refrigerator main body) 10. The refrigerator 1 has a first refrigerator compartment on the upper level, a second refrigerator compartment (vegetable compartment) on the middle level, and a first freezer compartment on the lower level. The middle level of the refrigerator 1 also has an ice-making compartment and a second freezer compartment.

The configuration and arrangement of each storage compartment in refrigerator 1 is not limited to the above. The configuration and arrangement of each storage compartment can be changed as appropriate depending on the capacity, purpose, etc. of the refrigerator.

The first refrigerator compartment at the top is provided with a refrigerator compartment door 11. The refrigerator compartment door 11 is a double-hinged door that can be opened and closed from either the left or right end. Therefore, a grip 82 that functions as a handle when opening and closing the refrigerator compartment door 11 is provided on both the left and right ends of the refrigerator compartment door 11. Specifically, the left grip 82a is provided on the left end of the refrigerator compartment door 11. The right grip 82b is provided on the right end of the refrigerator compartment door 11.

The second refrigerator compartment (vegetable compartment) in the middle section is provided with a pull-out refrigerator compartment door 13. The first freezer compartment in the lower section is provided with a pull-out freezer compartment door 14. The ice-making compartment and second freezer compartment in the middle section are each provided with a pull-out ice-making compartment door 15 and a pull-out freezer compartment door 16, respectively.

The configuration of each door in the refrigerator 1 is not limited to the above. The doors of each storage compartment can be appropriately adapted depending on the structure, purpose, and position of each storage compartment, for example, a system that can be opened and closed from both the left and right sides, a double door system, a system that can be opened and closed from either the left or right end, a pull-out system, etc.

In this embodiment, the surface on which the door is provided is defined as the front surface (front face) of the refrigerator. Then, based on the front surface and the positions where the refrigerator 1 would be when installed in a normal state, the respective surfaces of the refrigerator 1 and the insulated box body 10 are defined as the top surface, side surface, rear surface (back surface), and bottom surface. Also, when the refrigerator 1 (or the insulated box body 10, the upper mounting member 12, etc.) is viewed from the front side, the side located to the left is referred to as the left side of the refrigerator 1, etc., and the side located to the right is referred to as the right side of the refrigerator 1, etc.

An upper mounting member 12 is disposed on the top surface of the insulating box 10. A human detection sensor 51, a speaker 70, and hinge reinforcement parts 81 (81a and 81b) are provided within the upper mounting member 12 (see FIG. 4).

The human detection sensor 51 detects whether or not there is a person in front of the refrigerator 1. Information regarding the presence or absence of a person detected by the human detection sensor 51 is sent to a control unit (not shown) in the refrigerator 1. The human detection sensor 51 is composed of, for example, a distance sensor, an infrared sensor, etc.

The speaker 70 can emit sounds such as various notification sounds or voice messages to the user. In this embodiment, the speaker 70 is configured to emit sounds in a horizontal direction, that is, toward the side (specifically, forward).

The hinge reinforcement 81 is made up of a left hinge reinforcement 81a that constitutes the left hinge part of the refrigerator 1, and a right hinge reinforcement 81b that constitutes the right hinge part of the refrigerator 1. Each hinge reinforcement 81a and 81b has a hinge pin or the like attached to it to constitute the hinge part, and includes a metal plate member to improve the strength of the hinge part.

<Configuration of upper mounting member>
Next, the configuration of the upper mounting member 12 will be described. Fig. 2 shows the appearance of the upper mounting member 12. Fig. 3 shows the configuration of the top surface of the upper mounting member 12. Fig. 4 shows the internal configuration of the upper mounting member 12. Fig. 4 is a diagram of the upper mounting member 12 with the cover member 22 removed. Fig. 5 is a perspective cross-sectional view showing the configuration around a drainage mechanism 60 provided in the upper mounting member 12.

The outer shape of the upper mounting member 12 is mainly composed of a base member 21 and a cover member 22. The base member 21 and the cover member 22 are formed, for example, by processing a resin material into a predetermined shape. The base member 21 mainly constitutes the lower surface (bottom surface) of the upper mounting member 12. The cover member 22 mainly constitutes the upper surface of the upper mounting member 12. The cover member 22 is positioned so as to cover the upper portion of the base member 21.

Inside the upper mounting member 12, whose outer shape is formed by the base member 21 and the cover member 22, a human detection sensor 51, a speaker 70, and hinge reinforcement parts 81 (81a and 81b) are arranged (see Figure 4).

In another embodiment, the base member 21 is not provided, and the human detection sensor 51, speaker 70, etc. are installed directly on the top surface of the insulated box body 10, and a cover member 22 is provided to cover them.

The human detection sensor 51 is disposed on the front side of the upper mounting member 12. As shown in FIG. 1, the human detection sensor 51 is disposed in approximately the center in the left-right direction. As shown in FIG. 4, the human detection sensor 51 is attached to the bottom surface of the base member 21 so as to be aligned with the front wall 21a of the base member 21.

The refrigerator 1 is equipped with a human detection sensor 51, which can detect whether or not a person is present within a specified range (detection range of the human detection sensor 51) on the front side of the refrigerator 1. When the human detection sensor 51 detects the presence of a person around the refrigerator 1, the control unit in the refrigerator 1 can use this information to control the speaker 70 to emit a voice message, etc.

The speaker 70 is disposed on the rear side (rear surface) of the upper mounting member 12. Specifically, the speaker 70 is disposed approximately in the center in the left-right direction on the rear side of the base member 21. When the refrigerator 1 is viewed from the front side, the speaker 70 is located on the rear side of the human detection sensor 51 and is disposed so as to overlap with the human detection sensor 51 when viewed from the front. By disposing the speaker 70 approximately in the center in the left-right direction on the rear side of the base member 21, sound can be output from the speaker 70 (specifically, the speaker hole 31) toward a person standing in the center position in front of the refrigerator 1.

The left hinge reinforcement 81a is located at the left end of the front side of the upper mounting member 12. Specifically, the left hinge reinforcement 81a is located at the front left corner of the bottom surface of the base member 21.

The right hinge reinforcement part 81b is located at the right end of the front side of the upper mounting member 12. Specifically, the right hinge reinforcement part 81b is located at the front right corner of the bottom surface of the base member 21.

<Configuration of speaker and drainage mechanism>
Next, the speaker 70 and its surrounding structure will be described in more detail. Fig. 6 shows the structure around the speaker 70 inside the upper mounting member 12. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing a cross-sectional structure of the upper mounting member 12 taken along line A-A in Fig. 3. Fig. 7 shows the structure around the recess 32 that constitutes the drainage mechanism 60. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing a cross-sectional structure of the upper mounting member 12 taken along line B-B in Fig. 3.

The speaker 70 has a sound-producing unit 72. The sound-producing unit 72 is disposed on one side of the body of the speaker 70. In this embodiment, the sound-producing unit 72 is provided on the side of the body of the speaker 70 that is located on the same side as the front of the refrigerator 1 and the upper mounting member 12.

By disposing the sound producing unit 72 on one side of the body of the speaker 70, the sound producing unit 72 can emit sound in a lateral direction. Here, lateral means the horizontal direction when the refrigerator 1 is placed on a horizontal surface. In addition, lateral is used here to mean the front, rear, right, left, and at least one diagonal direction between these directions.

In this embodiment, the sound generating unit 72 is provided on the side of the front side of the main body of the speaker 70, so that the speaker 70 can emit sound from the front of the refrigerator 1 toward the front, as shown by arrow A in Figure 6.

As shown in FIG. 6, the upper part of the speaker 70 is covered with a cover member 22. A vertical wall 31a, which is part of the cover member 22, is provided on the front side of the sound generating unit 72. A speaker hole 31 is formed in this vertical wall 31a at a position corresponding to the sound generating unit 72 (an area overlapping with the sound generating unit 72 when viewed from the front). The speaker hole 31 is made up of multiple small holes.

A drainage mechanism 60 is provided on the front side of the speaker 70 (i.e., the side of the speaker 70 where the speaker hole 31 is located). The drainage mechanism 60 is a mechanism for preventing liquid, such as water, from reaching the speaker 70, for example, when liquid is splashed onto the refrigerator 1 from above.

The drainage mechanism 60 is composed of an inclined portion 73, guide portions 74a and 74b, a step portion 75, and a recess 32. The drainage mechanism 60 is formed in the front-to-rear area, sandwiching the vertical wall 31a in which the speaker hole 31 is formed.

The inclined portion 73 is provided between the speaker 70 and the speaker hole 31. The inclined portion 73 extends from the sound generating portion 72 side of the speaker 70 toward the speaker hole 31 side. The inclined portion 73 has a gradient that slopes downward from the sound generating portion 72 side toward the speaker hole 31 side (see FIG. 6).

The guide portions 74a and 74b are disposed in opposing positions with the inclined portion 73 in between. The guide portions 74a and 74b are formed higher than the inclined surface of the inclined portion 73. As shown in FIG. 4, side walls are formed by the guide portions 74a and 74b on both the left and right sides of the inclined portion 73. This configuration makes it possible to prevent the sound emitted from the sound generating portion 72 of the speaker 70 from diffusing to both the left and right sides. Therefore, the sound emitted from the sound generating portion 72 can be efficiently guided to the speaker hole 31.

The step portion 75 is provided on the front side of the inclined portion 73. The step portion 75 has a step extending further downward from the bottom surface of the inclined portion 73. In this embodiment, the inclined portion 73, the guide portions 74a and 74b, and the step portion 75 are formed integrally with the base member 21.

In this way, the drainage mechanism 60 has an inclined portion 73 and a stepped portion 75 located below the sound generating portion 72 on the front side of the speaker 70. This allows the water that has entered the inside of the cover member 22 from the speaker hole 31 to be drained toward the inclined portion 73 and the stepped portion 75 located below the speaker 70 when water or the like is splashed on the refrigerator 1 from above. A through hole is formed in the stepped portion 75, and liquid such as water that is drained into the stepped portion 75 is drained from the through hole to the outside of the cover member 22 (see arrow B in FIG. 6). In this embodiment, an engagement claw provided on the base member 21 is inserted into the through hole, which also functions to engage the cover member 22 with the base member 21.

The recess 32 is located in front of the speaker hole 31 (see FIG. 2). An opening 32a is formed at the bottom of the recess 32, which constitutes a drainage outlet 35 that penetrates the base member 21. This opening is connected to an opening 32b formed in the base member 21. In this way, the opening 32a formed at the bottom of the recess 32 of the cover member 22 and the opening 32b formed in the base member 21 form the drainage outlet 35 (see FIG. 7). The drainage outlet 35 drains liquids such as water that have entered the recess 32 to the outside of the upper mounting member 12.

As described above, a part of the drainage mechanism 60 is provided between the sound-producing part 72 of the speaker 70 and the speaker hole 31. As a result, in the unlikely event that liquid such as water seeps into the space in which the speaker 70 is disposed through the speaker hole 31, the liquid can be drained from the drainage mechanism 60 to outside the space in which the speaker 70 is disposed before the liquid reaches the sound-producing part 72.

<Configuration of Cover Member>
Next, a more detailed description will be given of the configuration of the cover member 22. In particular, the drain groove 23 formed on the upper surface of the cover member 22 and the structure around it will be described.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the upper surface of the cover member 22 is mainly formed by a front portion 22a, a rear portion 22b, and a groove portion 22c.

The front portion 22a constitutes the front side of the upper mounting member 12. Hinge reinforcement portions 81a and 81b are arranged at both the left and right ends below the front portion 22a, and a human detection sensor 51 is arranged in the center.

The rear portion 22b constitutes the rear side of the upper mounting member 12. A speaker 70 is disposed below the rear portion 22b.

The groove portion 22c is located between the front portion 22a and the rear portion 22b. The front portion 22a and the rear portion 22b are formed flush with each other, and the groove portion 22c is formed at a position recessed one step downward from the front portion 22a and the rear portion 22b. An inclined portion 22d is formed at the boundary between the front portion 22a and the groove portion 22c. Furthermore, a vertical wall 31a is formed at the boundary between the rear portion 22b and the groove portion 22c. The drainage groove 23 is formed by the groove portion 22c, the inclined portion 22d, and the vertical wall 31a.

The drain groove 23 has a central portion extending in the left-right direction, and both left and right end portions extending diagonally rearward. A recess 32 is formed approximately in the center of the drain groove 23 extending in the left-right direction.

A first inclined surface 33, a second inclined surface 34a, and a third inclined surface 34b are formed around the recess 32. The first inclined surface 33 is located directly in front of the speaker hole 31 and is inclined downward toward the front (see Figures 2 and 6, etc.). The second inclined surface 34a is located to the left of the first inclined surface 33 when viewed from the front and is inclined downward toward the left (see Figures 2 and 6, etc.). The third inclined surface 34b is located to the right of the first inclined surface 33 when viewed from the front and is inclined downward toward the right (see Figures 2 and 6, etc.).

In this way, the first inclined surface 33, the second inclined surface 34a, and the third inclined surface 34b have a gradient that slopes downward outward from the speaker hole 31. This allows the water to be drained away from the speaker hole 31 if water or the like gets in the vicinity of the speaker hole 31. Water that flows down into the groove 22c along the gradient of the first inclined surface 33, etc., flows outward along the shape of the groove 22c, and is ultimately drained to the outside from either the left or right end of the cover member 22.

In addition, a recess 32 with a drainage hole 35 is formed at approximately the center of the first inclined surface 33 (see FIG. 3). Therefore, water that has entered a position closer to the speaker hole 31 enters the recess 32 and is discharged to the outside through the drainage hole 35 at the bottom.

The speaker hole 31 is formed in the vertical wall 31a that forms the drain groove 23. That is, the speaker hole 31 is formed in the rear wall that forms the drain groove 23. This makes it possible to achieve a configuration in which water is less likely to enter the interior of the speaker hole 31 (i.e., the space in which the speaker 70 is located) even if water or the like is splashed onto the speaker hole 31 from above.

Meanwhile, the front wall of the drain groove 23 is an inclined portion 22d. As a result, when water splashes on the front portion 22a of the cover member 22, the water can be guided toward the groove portion 22c along the gradient of the inclined portion 22d. Also, since the inclined portion 22d is located in front of the speaker hole 31 as shown in FIG. 6, the sound emitted from the sound generating portion 72 of the speaker 70 is directed to bend forward and upward by the inclined portion 22d. This prevents the sound from hitting the cover member 22 and being reflected backward, or the cover member 22 from resonating and emitting vibration noise, and allows clear sound to be directed toward the front of the refrigerator 1 without the speaker 70 protruding above the cover member 22.

(summary)
As described above, the upper mounting member 12 is disposed on the upper surface of the insulating box 10 of the refrigerator 1 according to this embodiment. Inside the upper mounting member 12, the speaker 70, the human detection sensor 51, etc. are disposed.

The speaker 70 is configured to emit sound to the side. That is, the sound generating unit 72 of the speaker 70 is disposed on the side of the main body of the speaker 70. In a refrigerator 1 equipped with the speaker 70, the speaker 70 emits sound to the side, making it easier for a user positioned on the refrigerator compartment door 11 side to hear the sound from the speaker 70. In addition, by disposing the sound generating unit 72 of the speaker 70 on the side, water is less likely to splash on the sound generating unit 72 when water or the like splashes on the refrigerator from above, compared to when the sound generating unit faces upward. This improves the durability of the speaker 70.

In this embodiment, the sound generating unit 72 of the speaker 70 is provided on the side of the body of the speaker 70 that is located on the same side as the front of the refrigerator 1 and the upper mounting member 12. With this configuration, sound can be emitted toward the front of the refrigerator 1.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the human detection sensor 51 and the speaker 70 are positioned so that they overlap when viewed from the front. This maximizes the sensor sensitivity when the user stands directly in front of the human detection sensor 51, and also ensures that the sound from the speaker 70 can be heard directly in front at that time.

The refrigerator 1 according to this embodiment is also provided with a drainage mechanism 60 as a mechanism for preventing liquids such as water from entering the speaker 70. A part of the drainage mechanism 60 (e.g., the inclined portion 73, etc.) is disposed near the speaker hole 31 (specifically, at a position closer to the speaker hole 31 than the sound generating portion 72). A part of the drainage mechanism 60 (e.g., the stepped portion 75, etc.) is located below the speaker hole 31. The provision of the drainage mechanism 60 prevents liquids such as water from entering the speaker 70, and improves the durability of the speaker 70.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, a drain groove 23 is provided as a configuration for draining liquids such as water that splash on the upper surface of the cover member 22. With this configuration, if water or the like splashes near the speaker hole 31, the water can be drained in a direction away from the speaker hole 31.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the first embodiment described above, an opening 32a is formed in the bottom of the recess 32, forming a drainage port 35. However, in one embodiment of the present invention, the recess 32 does not need to have an opening 32a. Also, a configuration may be adopted in which drainage from the opening 32a is restricted by inserting a screw for attaching the upper mounting member 12 or the cover member 22 into the opening 32a.

That is, in the upper mounting member 12 arranged on the top surface of the refrigerator 1 according to the second embodiment, the recess 32 provided in front of the speaker hole 31 does not have an opening 32a formed therein, or the drainage capacity from the opening 32a is limited. For the rest of the configuration, the same configuration as in the first embodiment can be applied.

With the above configuration, when liquid such as water is poured from above the refrigerator 1, some of the liquid can be stored in the recess 32. This makes it possible to achieve a configuration in which liquid poured from above is less likely to splash back, compared to a configuration in which the front of the speaker hole 31 is a flat horizontal surface.

Third Embodiment
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In one embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to configure the upper mounting member 12 to include only the speaker 70, without including the human detection sensor 51. Therefore, in the third embodiment, a refrigerator not including the human detection sensor 51 will be described.

The refrigerator 1 according to the third embodiment differs from the refrigerator 1 according to the first embodiment only in that it does not have a human detection sensor 51. For the rest of the configuration, the same configuration as in the first embodiment can be basically applied.

In addition, in a configuration in which the human detection sensor 51 is not provided, the speaker 70 may be placed in a substantially central position on the front side of the upper mounting member 12 (i.e., where the human detection sensor 51 is placed in the first embodiment). In this case, sound is emitted from the sound generating unit 72 of the speaker 70 toward the front.

In another example, the speaker 70 may be disposed on the front side of the drain 23, and the speaker hole 31 may be disposed in the wall on the front side of the drain 23. In such a configuration, sound is emitted from the sound generating portion 72 of the speaker 70 toward the rear.
