Description

本発明の実施形態は、冷蔵庫に関する。 Embodiments of the present invention relate to refrigerators.

従来、冷蔵庫の野菜室は、引出し式の収容ケースを備えている。収容ケースは、主に野菜や果物等の生鮮食品を収容するためのものであり、容量の観点から概ね矩形の箱状に構成され、底面はほぼ平面状に形成されている。このため、例えば球状の野菜や果物などの生鮮食品を収容ケースに入れた場合、その球状の生鮮食品と収容ケース底面との接触面積が小さくなりがちとなる。そのため、球状の生鮮食品においては、収容ケース底面との接触部分に自重による荷重が集中し、その結果、その接触部分から痛み易くなる。 Traditionally, the vegetable compartment of a refrigerator is equipped with a drawer-type storage case. The storage case is mainly for storing fresh foods such as vegetables and fruits, and is formed in a substantially rectangular box shape from the viewpoint of capacity, and the bottom surface is formed in a substantially flat shape. Therefore, for example, when a fresh food such as a spherical vegetable or fruit is put in a storage case, the contact area between the spherical fresh food and the bottom surface of the storage case tends to be small. Therefore, in the spherical fresh food, the load due to its own weight is concentrated on the contact portion with the bottom surface of the storage case, and as a result, pain is easily caused from the contact portion.

また、収容ケースの素材としては一般的に樹脂が用いられるが、一般的な樹脂は空気よりも熱伝導率が高いことから、接触部分が必要以上に冷却され易くなる。その結果、従来構成の収容ケースに生鮮食品を収容した場合、その生鮮食品は、収容ケース底面との接触部分において低温障害が引き起こされることがあった。 Further, although resin is generally used as the material of the storage case, since the general resin has a higher thermal conductivity than air, the contact portion is easily cooled more than necessary. As a result, when fresh food is stored in a storage case having a conventional structure, the fresh food may cause chilling injury at a portion in contact with the bottom surface of the storage case.

図３等に示すように、冷蔵庫本体１は、冷蔵用冷却器２７と、送風機２８と、冷気ダクト２９と、を備える。冷蔵用冷却器２７は、冷蔵室１１及び野菜室１２を冷却するための冷気を生成する機能を有している。送風機２８は、野菜室１２から取り込んだ空気を冷蔵用冷却器２７に送る機能を有する。冷気ダクト２９は、断熱箱体２０の背面側に設けられ、冷蔵用冷却器２７によって生成された冷気を冷蔵室１１及び野菜室１２に供給するための通路を形成する。具体的には、冷気ダクト２９は、冷蔵室１１及び野菜室１２の背面側に設けられている。そして、冷蔵用冷却器２７と、送風機２８とは、冷気ダクト２９内に設けられている。送風機２８は、冷気ダクト２９内を流れる空気の流れに関して、冷蔵用冷却器２７に対して上流側に設けられている。 As shown in FIG. 3 and the like, the refrigerator main body 1 includes a refrigerating cooler 27, a blower 28, and a cold air duct 29. The refrigerating cooler 27 has a function of generating cold air for cooling the refrigerating chamber 11 and the vegetable compartment 12. The blower 28 has a function of sending the air taken in from the vegetable compartment 12 to the refrigerating cooler 27. The cold air duct 29 is provided on the back side of the heat insulating box body 20 and forms a passage for supplying the cold air generated by the refrigerating cooler 27 to the refrigerating chamber 11 and the vegetable compartment 12. Specifically, the cold air duct 29 is provided on the back side of the refrigerator compartment 11 and the vegetable compartment 12. The refrigerating cooler 27 and the blower 28 are provided in the cold air duct 29. The blower 28 is provided on the upstream side of the refrigerating cooler 27 with respect to the flow of air flowing through the cold air duct 29.

The return port 291 is formed by opening a part of the lower part of the cold air duct 29 toward the vegetable compartment 12, and the air cooling the vegetable compartment 12 flows into the cold air duct 29 as shown by an arrow A in FIG. It becomes. The air flowing into the cold air duct 29 is carried by the blower 28 to the downstream refrigerating cooler 27 as shown by the arrow B. The air cooled by the refrigerating cooler 27 passes through the cold air duct 29 and flows out to the refrigerating chamber 11 from an outlet (not shown).

非断熱仕切り壁２５は、背面側の左右の両端部に、連通口２５１を備える。連通口２５１は、冷蔵室１１と野菜室１２とを連通して、矢印Ｃによって示すように冷気が冷蔵室１１から野菜室１２へと移動することを可能にする。野菜室１２に流入した冷気は、野菜室１２の内部を冷却し、再び戻り口２９１から冷気ダクト２９へと回収される。 The non-insulated partition wall 25 is provided with communication ports 251 at both left and right ends on the back side. The communication port 251 communicates the refrigerating chamber 11 and the vegetable compartment 12 and enables cold air to move from the refrigerating chamber 11 to the vegetable compartment 12 as indicated by an arrow C. The cold air that has flowed into the vegetable compartment 12 cools the inside of the vegetable compartment 12 and is collected again from the return port 291 to the cold air duct 29.

野菜室１２は、図２に示すように、収容ケース３０と、載置部材４０と、を備える。収容ケース３０は、野菜室１２に出し入れ可能に構成された引き出し式のケースである。本実施形態の場合、収容ケース３０は、野菜室扉１２１に取り付けられており、野菜室扉１２１の開閉に連動して出し入れされる。 As shown in FIG. 2, the vegetable compartment 12 includes a storage case 30 and a mounting member 40. The storage case 30 is a drawer-type case configured so that it can be taken in and out of the vegetable compartment 12. In the case of the present embodiment, the storage case 30 is attached to the vegetable compartment door 121, and is taken in and out in conjunction with the opening and closing of the vegetable compartment door 121.

図２に示すように、収容ケース３０は、上方が開放した容器状に形成され、前面部３１と、左右の側面部３２と、背面部３３と、底面部３４と、を備える。前面部３１は、収容ケース３０の前側の壁部であり、収容ケース３０の前面を形成する。側面部３２は、収容ケース３０の左右の壁部であり、収容ケース３０の左右側面を形成する。背面部３３は、収容ケース３０の後ろ側の壁部であり、収容ケース３０の背面を形成する。そして、底面部３４は、収容ケース３０の底板部であり、収容ケース３０の底面を形成する。背面部３３は、排気口３３１を有する。排気口３３１は、例えば背面部３３の上部の一部を切り欠いて形成され、収容ケース３０内部と外部とを連通する。収容ケース３０は、例えば合成樹脂等で構成されている。 As shown in FIG. 2, the storage case 30 is formed in a container shape with an open upper portion, and includes a front surface portion 31, left and right side surface portions 32, a back surface portion 33, and a bottom surface portion 34. The front surface portion 31 is a wall portion on the front side of the accommodating case 30, and forms the front surface of the accommodating case 30. The side surface portions 32 are the left and right wall portions of the storage case 30, and form the left and right side surfaces of the storage case 30. The back surface portion 33 is a wall portion on the rear side of the storage case 30, and forms the back surface of the storage case 30. The bottom surface portion 34 is a bottom plate portion of the storage case 30, and forms the bottom surface of the storage case 30. The back surface 33 has an exhaust port 331. The exhaust port 331 is formed by cutting out a part of the upper part of the back surface portion 33, for example, and communicates the inside and the outside of the storage case 30. The storage case 30 is made of, for example, a synthetic resin or the like.

載置部材４０は、収容ケース３０に上方から着脱可能に設けられ、野菜や果物などの収容物を載置可能に構成されている。載置部材４０は、収容ケース３０の上方に着脱可能に設けられており、収容ケース３０に対して相対的にスライド可能に構成されている。載置部材４０は、前面部４１と、背面部４２と、左右の側面部４３と、受け部４４と、を備える。前面部４１は、載置部材４０の前側の面を構成する。背面部４２は、載置部材４０の背面側の面を構成する。左右の側面部４３は、載置部材４０の左右の両側面を構成する。前面部４１と、背面部４２と、左右の側面部４３とは、ともに枠部４５を構成する。枠部４５は、受け部４４を装着可能であり、受け部４４を前後左右から支持する。 The mounting member 40 is detachably provided on the storage case 30 from above, and is configured so that stored items such as vegetables and fruits can be mounted. The mounting member 40 is detachably provided above the accommodating case 30, and is configured to be slidable relative to the accommodating case 30. The mounting member 40 includes a front surface portion 41, a back surface portion 42, left and right side surface portions 43, and a receiving portion 44. The front surface portion 41 constitutes a front surface of the mounting member 40. The back surface portion 42 constitutes a surface on the back surface side of the mounting member 40. The left and right side surface portions 43 form the left and right side surfaces of the mounting member 40. The front surface portion 41, the back surface portion 42, and the left and right side surface portions 43 together form a frame portion 45. The frame portion 45 can be equipped with the receiving portion 44, and supports the receiving portion 44 from the front, back, left and right.

受け部４４は、柔軟性と通気性とを有する部材で構成され、収容物を受ける曲面を形成する。この場合、受け部４４は、例えば網目状に形成されている。受け部４４は、例えばポリエチレンなどの耐寒性の高い合成樹脂等で構成された紐状又はテープ状の部材４４１を縦横に編み込んで形成したネットであっても良い。ここでいう耐寒性とは、少なくとも野菜室１２における冷蔵温度帯においても柔軟性を失わず破断しない性質を指す。 The receiving portion 44 is made of a member having flexibility and breathability, and forms a curved surface for receiving the contained object. In this case, the receiving portion 44 is formed in a mesh shape, for example. The receiving portion 44 may be a net formed by vertically and horizontally weaving a string-shaped or tape-shaped member 441 made of, for example, a synthetic resin having high cold resistance such as polyethylene. The term "cold resistance" as used herein refers to the property of not losing flexibility and not breaking even in the refrigerated temperature range of the vegetable compartment 12.

受け部４４を構成する紐状又はテープ状の部材４４１の太さ又は幅は、例えば０．５ｃｍから２ｃｍであっても良い。また、隣接する紐状又はテープ状の部材４４１間の隙間、つまり網目４４２の大きさは、は、例えば０．５ｃｍから５ｃｍであっても良い。 The thickness or width of the string-shaped or tape-shaped member 441 constituting the receiving portion 44 may be, for example, 0.5 cm to 2 cm. Further, the size of the gap between the adjacent string-shaped or tape-shaped members 441, that is, the mesh 442 may be, for example, 0.5 cm to 5 cm.

受け部４４は、網目状に形成されているため、柔軟性及び伸縮性を有する。つまり、紐状又はテープ状の部材４４１同士が固定されておらず相対的に可動であるため、受け部４４は例えば重力方向の荷重によって変形可能である。更に、紐状又はテープ状の部材４４１同士が重なる結節点では固定されていても、結節点間の部材４４１の実際の長さが結節点間の距離よりも長いために、受け部４４全体として柔軟性と伸縮性とを有するように構成しても良い。更にまた、紐状又はテープ状の部材４４１を構成する合成樹脂自体が、柔軟性又は伸縮性を有していても良い。 Since the receiving portion 44 is formed in a mesh shape, it has flexibility and elasticity. That is, since the string-shaped or tape-shaped members 441 are not fixed to each other and are relatively movable, the receiving portion 44 can be deformed by, for example, a load in the direction of gravity. Further, even if the string-shaped or tape-shaped members 441 are fixed at the overlapping nodes, the actual length of the members 441 between the nodes is longer than the distance between the nodes, so that the receiving portion 44 as a whole It may be configured to have flexibility and elasticity. Furthermore, the synthetic resin itself constituting the string-shaped or tape-shaped member 441 may have flexibility or elasticity.

受け部４４が柔軟性と伸縮性とを有するため、図７に示すように、載置部材４０に収容物を載置した際に、受け部４４は収容物の荷重によって変形する。受け部４４は、少なくとも部分的に収容物の下部の形状に沿うように変形するため、受け部４４は、収容物を一点で支持するのではなく、複数の点又は面で支持する。また、受け部４４は、通気性を有する。この場合、受け部４４は、網目状に形成されているため、隣接する紐状又はテープ状の部材４４１間つまり網目４４２を、空気が通過することができる。 Since the receiving portion 44 has flexibility and elasticity, as shown in FIG. 7, when the contained object is placed on the mounting member 40, the receiving portion 44 is deformed by the load of the contained object. Since the receiving portion 44 is deformed at least partially along the shape of the lower part of the container, the receiving portion 44 does not support the container at one point, but supports the container at a plurality of points or surfaces. Further, the receiving portion 44 has air permeability. In this case, since the receiving portion 44 is formed in a mesh shape, air can pass between the adjacent string-shaped or tape-shaped members 441, that is, the mesh 442.

更に、受け部４４は、網目状に形成されているため、材料の密度と比熱が同程度であって同一の水平方向への投射面積を有すると仮定すると、従来例のケースの板状の底部と比較して質量が小さくなる。そのため、受け部４４は、従来例のケースの底部よりも熱容量が小さくなる。 Further, since the receiving portion 44 is formed in a mesh shape, assuming that the density and specific heat of the material are the same and the projection area is the same in the horizontal direction, the plate-shaped bottom portion of the conventional case is assumed. The mass is smaller than that of. Therefore, the receiving portion 44 has a smaller heat capacity than the bottom portion of the conventional case.

図３等に示すように、収容ケース３０は、野菜室１２の下方に前後方向に移動可能に設けられ、その前面部３１が野菜室扉１２１に取り付けられている。そのため、野菜室扉１２１が前方に引き出されると、収容ケース３０も一緒に前方に引き出される。なお、野菜室扉１２１をヒンジ回動式の回転扉としても良い。その場合、収容ケース３０に取手を設け、下段ケースを直接引き出すことができるようにしても良い。また、収容ケース３０は、例えば図示しないスライドレールを介して野菜室１２の左右の側壁に取り付けられており、これにより前後方向にスライド可能に構成されている。 As shown in FIG. 3 and the like, the storage case 30 is provided below the vegetable compartment 12 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction, and the front surface portion 31 thereof is attached to the vegetable compartment door 121. Therefore, when the vegetable compartment door 121 is pulled forward, the storage case 30 is also pulled forward. The vegetable room door 121 may be a hinge-rotating revolving door. In that case, a handle may be provided on the storage case 30 so that the lower case can be pulled out directly. Further, the storage case 30 is attached to the left and right side walls of the vegetable compartment 12 via, for example, a slide rail (not shown), so that the storage case 30 can be slidable in the front-rear direction.

野菜室１２は、固定レール１７を備える。固定レール１７は、野菜室１２の左右の側壁から内方に向かって突出して設けられており、例えば野菜室１２の左右の側壁と一体成型されている。固定レール１７は、収容ケース３０の上方に設けられており、前後方向に延びている。 The vegetable compartment 12 includes a fixed rail 17. The fixed rail 17 is provided so as to project inward from the left and right side walls of the vegetable compartment 12, and is integrally molded with, for example, the left and right side walls of the vegetable compartment 12. The fixed rail 17 is provided above the storage case 30 and extends in the front-rear direction.

載置部材４０は、図２等に示すように、ガイド部４６と、被支持部４７と、係合部４８と、取手４９と、を備える。ガイド部４６は、枠部４５と一体成型され、側面部４３から左右に張り出して設けられている。ガイド部４６は、固定レール１７の上面に接しながら前後方向に移動し、載置部材４０の固定レール１７に沿った移動を案内する。また、載置部材４０は、野菜室１２の内部に完全に収納された状態から、所定の位置まで引き出されるまでの間、ガイド部４６において、固定レール１７を介して、断熱箱体２０に支持されている。 As shown in FIG. 2 and the like, the mounting member 40 includes a guide portion 46, a supported portion 47, an engaging portion 48, and a handle 49. The guide portion 46 is integrally molded with the frame portion 45, and is provided so as to project from the side surface portion 43 to the left and right. The guide portion 46 moves in the front-rear direction while being in contact with the upper surface of the fixed rail 17, and guides the movement of the mounting member 40 along the fixed rail 17. Further, the mounting member 40 is supported by the heat insulating box 20 via the fixed rail 17 in the guide portion 46 from the state where it is completely stored inside the vegetable compartment 12 until it is pulled out to a predetermined position. Has been done.

本実施形態では、ガイド部４６は、左右の側面部４３にそれぞれ２つ設けられているが、載置部材４０が水平方向のバランスを崩さずに支持される態様であれば、ガイド部４６の数は問わない。また、本実施形態では、ガイド部４６は固定レール１７に沿って摺動するが、このような態様に限られず、例えばローラーによって、載置部材４０の固定レール１７に沿った移動が実現されていても良い。 In the present embodiment, two guide portions 46 are provided on the left and right side surface portions 43, respectively, but if the mounting member 40 is supported without losing the balance in the horizontal direction, the guide portion 46 may be provided. The number does not matter. Further, in the present embodiment, the guide portion 46 slides along the fixed rail 17, but the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment, and the mounting member 40 is moved along the fixed rail 17 by, for example, a roller. You may.

被支持部４７は、側面部４３に設けられており前後方向に延びている。被支持部４７は、載置部材４０が収容ケース３０と共に手前に引き出された場合、収容ケース３０に当接する。そのため、載置部材４０は、被支持部４７を介して、収容ケース３０の後述する支持部３５に支持される。 The supported portion 47 is provided on the side surface portion 43 and extends in the front-rear direction. The supported portion 47 comes into contact with the storage case 30 when the mounting member 40 is pulled out together with the storage case 30. Therefore, the mounting member 40 is supported by the support portion 35 of the storage case 30, which will be described later, via the supported portion 47.

つまり、載置部材４０は、野菜室１２内部に完全に収納された状態から所定位置に引き出されるまでの間は、ガイド部４６が固定レール１７に接触しており、これによりガイド部４６及び固定レール１７を介して断熱箱体２０に支持されている。この場合、載置部材４０の被支持部４７は、収容ケース３０の後述する支持部３５に接触していない、つまり支持部３５から浮いた状態である。また、載置部材４０は、収容ケース３０と共に所定位置よりも手前側に引き出された状態では、ガイド部４６が固定レール１７から離れ、被支持部４７が収容ケース３０によって支持される。 That is, the guide portion 46 is in contact with the fixed rail 17 from the state in which the mounting member 40 is completely stored inside the vegetable compartment 12 until it is pulled out to a predetermined position, whereby the guide portion 46 and the fixed member 40 are fixed. It is supported by the heat insulating box 20 via the rail 17. In this case, the supported portion 47 of the mounting member 40 is not in contact with the support portion 35 described later in the storage case 30, that is, in a state of being floated from the support portion 35. Further, in a state where the mounting member 40 is pulled out toward the front side from a predetermined position together with the accommodating case 30, the guide portion 46 is separated from the fixed rail 17, and the supported portion 47 is supported by the accommodating case 30.

係合部４８は、載置部材４０の左右の側面部４３に設けられており、載置部材４０の前側に位置している。本実施形態では、係合部４８は、前後方向に延びる被支持部４７の前端部に設けられている。また、係合部４８は、被支持部４７の一端部から下方に突出しており、被支持部４７と一体に形成されている。 The engaging portions 48 are provided on the left and right side surface portions 43 of the mounting member 40, and are located on the front side of the mounting member 40. In the present embodiment, the engaging portion 48 is provided at the front end portion of the supported portion 47 extending in the front-rear direction. Further, the engaging portion 48 projects downward from one end of the supported portion 47 and is integrally formed with the supported portion 47.

取手４９は、前面部４１の上端部に設けられている。取手４９は、前面部４１の上端部から前方に突出して設けられており、ユーザが載置部材４０を出し入れする際に手を掛けるなどして使用される。 The handle 49 is provided at the upper end of the front surface portion 41. The handle 49 is provided so as to project forward from the upper end portion of the front surface portion 41, and is used by a user when he / she puts his / her hand in and out of the mounting member 40.

収容ケース３０は、支持部３５と、被係合部３６と、目印３２１と、を備えている。支持部３５は、載置部材４０が所定位置よりも手前に引き出された状態において、被支持部４７を介して載置部材４０を支持する。支持部３５は、下段ケースの左右の側面部３２に設けられている。本実施形態では、支持部３５は、収容ケース３０の左右の側面部３２の上端部に設けられている。被係合部３６は、支持部３５の前寄りに設けられており、側面部３２の上端部に溝を切り欠いて形成されている。本実施形態では、被係合部３６は、支持部３５の前端部に設けられている。つまり、被係合部３６は、載置部材４０を設置した場合において、収容ケース３０と載置部材４０とが完全に収納された状態で、係合部４８と係合する位置に設けられている。被係合部３６は、係合部４８と係合する形状に形成されている。目印３２１は、例えば側面部３２の内側に設けられており、収容ケース３０内部に収容できる収容物の最大高さを示している。目印３２１の高さ位置は、背面部３３に設けられた排気口３３１の切り欠きの高さ位置よりも上方である。本実施形態では、目印３２１は、前後方向に延びる線を形成している。 The storage case 30 includes a support portion 35, an engaged portion 36, and a mark 321. The support portion 35 supports the mounting member 40 via the supported portion 47 in a state where the mounting member 40 is pulled out toward the front from a predetermined position. Support portions 35 are provided on the left and right side surface portions 32 of the lower case. In the present embodiment, the support portion 35 is provided at the upper end portion of the left and right side surface portions 32 of the storage case 30. The engaged portion 36 is provided near the front of the support portion 35, and is formed by cutting out a groove at the upper end portion of the side surface portion 32. In the present embodiment, the engaged portion 36 is provided at the front end portion of the support portion 35. That is, when the mounting member 40 is installed, the engaged portion 36 is provided at a position where the housing case 30 and the mounting member 40 are completely housed and engaged with the engaging portion 48. There is. The engaged portion 36 is formed in a shape that engages with the engaging portion 48. The mark 321 is provided inside, for example, the side surface portion 32, and indicates the maximum height of the contained object that can be accommodated inside the accommodating case 30. The height position of the mark 321 is higher than the height position of the notch of the exhaust port 331 provided on the back surface portion 33. In the present embodiment, the mark 321 forms a line extending in the front-rear direction.

次に、収容ケース３０及び載置部材４０を野菜室１２から出し入れする際の動作態様について図３〜図５を参照して説明する。図３に示すように載置部材４０が収容ケース３０に設置され、野菜室１２の奥方に位置して野菜室１２内に完全に収納されている場合、載置部材４０の係合部４８は、収容ケース３０の被係合部３６の内側に入り込んで係合している。この状態から収容ケース３０が手前に引き出されると、載置部材４０は、係合部４８と被係合部３６との係合関係によって収容ケース３０に引っ張られる。そのため、載置部材４０は収容ケース３０に連動して一緒に引き出される。 Next, the operation mode when the storage case 30 and the mounting member 40 are taken in and out of the vegetable compartment 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5. As shown in FIG. 3, when the mounting member 40 is installed in the storage case 30 and is located at the back of the vegetable compartment 12 and completely stored in the vegetable compartment 12, the engaging portion 48 of the mounting member 40 is , The housing case 30 is engaged with the inside of the engaged portion 36. When the accommodating case 30 is pulled out from this state, the mounting member 40 is pulled toward the accommodating case 30 by the engaging relationship between the engaging portion 48 and the engaged portion 36. Therefore, the mounting member 40 is pulled out together with the storage case 30.

載置部材４０は、収容ケース３０に対して前後方向に相対的に移動することができる。載置部材４０の収容ケース３０に対する前後方向の移動は、例えば摺動すること、持ち上げて移動すること、又は車輪状の部品を回転させることによって行われる。例えば図４に示すように収容ケース３０及び載置部材４０が引き出されている状態から、載置部材４０は、後方に押し込まれることにより、図５に示すように収容ケース３０から独立して後方に移動することができる。この場合、ユーザは、載置部材４０の前面部３１に設けられた取手４９を持ちながら後方やや上方に押し上げることで、係合部４８が被係合部３６から外れる。これにより、載置部材４０は、収容ケース３０に対して自由に前後方向に移動できるようになる。 The mounting member 40 can move relative to the storage case 30 in the front-rear direction. The movement of the mounting member 40 in the front-rear direction with respect to the storage case 30 is performed, for example, by sliding, lifting and moving, or by rotating a wheel-shaped component. For example, from the state in which the storage case 30 and the mounting member 40 are pulled out as shown in FIG. 4, the mounting member 40 is pushed backward, and as shown in FIG. 5, the mounting member 40 is rearward independently of the storage case 30. You can move to. In this case, the user holds the handle 49 provided on the front surface portion 31 of the mounting member 40 and pushes it up slightly rearward to disengage the engaging portion 48 from the engaged portion 36. As a result, the mounting member 40 can freely move in the front-rear direction with respect to the storage case 30.

次に、図６及び図７も参照して、受け部４４について更に説明する。図６に示すように、載置部材４０が収容ケース３０に設置された状態において、受け部４４は、収容ケース３０の底面部３４から離間している。本実施形態の場合、受け部４４の上下方向の位置は、目印３２１よりも上方である。つまり、受け部４４は、収容ケース３０に収容できる収容物の最大高さよりも上方に位置する。 Next, the receiving portion 44 will be further described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. As shown in FIG. 6, when the mounting member 40 is installed in the storage case 30, the receiving portion 44 is separated from the bottom surface portion 34 of the storage case 30. In the case of the present embodiment, the vertical position of the receiving portion 44 is above the mark 321. That is, the receiving portion 44 is located above the maximum height of the contents that can be stored in the storage case 30.

図７に示すように、載置部材４０に収容物が載置された場合、受け部４４は、柔軟性と伸縮性を有するため、収容物の重みで変形し、下方に引っ張られる。そのような状態、つまり、垂直方向下向きの荷重がかかった状態において、受け部４４は、収容ケース３０の底面部３４から離間している。つまり、受け部４４の最も低い部分の上下方向の位置は、目印３２１よりも上方である。また、収容ケース３０の背面部３３に設けられた排気口３３１の切り欠きの高さ位置よりも上方である。そのため、載置部材４０に収容した収容物の重みで受け部４４が変形して下方に垂れ下がっても、収容ケース３０に収容されている収容物に当たったり載ったりすることが抑制される。また、収容ケース３０から独立して載置部材４０を前後に摺動させる際に載置部材４０に載置されている収容物が背面部３３に突き当たって収容物を傷めたり、収容ケース３０の移動を阻害したりすることが抑制される。 As shown in FIG. 7, when the contained object is placed on the placed member 40, the receiving portion 44 has flexibility and elasticity, so that the receiving portion 44 is deformed by the weight of the contained object and pulled downward. In such a state, that is, in a state where a load is applied downward in the vertical direction, the receiving portion 44 is separated from the bottom surface portion 34 of the storage case 30. That is, the position of the lowest portion of the receiving portion 44 in the vertical direction is above the mark 321. Further, it is above the height position of the notch of the exhaust port 331 provided on the back surface 33 of the storage case 30. Therefore, even if the receiving portion 44 is deformed by the weight of the contained object accommodated in the mounting member 40 and hangs downward, it is suppressed from hitting or being placed on the contained object housed in the storage case 30. Further, when the mounting member 40 is slid back and forth independently of the storage case 30, the stored object mounted on the mounting member 40 may hit the back surface portion 33 to damage the stored object, or the storage case 30 may be damaged. Inhibition of movement is suppressed.

図６、図７等に矢印で示すように、連通口２５１から野菜室１２に流入した冷気は、載置部材４０に流れ込む。そして、冷気は、載置部材４０内を冷却した後、図７の矢印Ｄで示すように通気性を有する受け部４４を通過してすなわち受け部４４の紐状又はテープ状の部材４４１と紐状又はテープ状の部材４４１との間隙である網目４４２を通過して、下方の収容ケース３０に流入する。冷気は、収容ケース３０内を冷却した後、矢印Ｅで示すように収容ケース３０の排気口３３１から収容ケース３０の外部に流出する。つまり、連通口２５１は受け部４４よりも上方に設けられており、排気口３３１は受け部４４よりも下方に設けられているため、冷気は、受け部４４の上方から載置部材４０に流入し、受け部４４の下方から収容ケース３０の外部に流出する。収容ケース３０の外部に流出した空気は、戻り口２９１から冷気ダクト２９に回収される。 As shown by arrows in FIGS. 6 and 7, the cold air flowing into the vegetable compartment 12 from the communication port 251 flows into the mounting member 40. Then, after cooling the inside of the mounting member 40, the cold air passes through the breathable receiving portion 44 as shown by the arrow D in FIG. 7, that is, the string-shaped or tape-shaped member 441 of the receiving portion 44 and the string. It passes through the mesh 442, which is a gap between the shape or tape-shaped member 441, and flows into the lower storage case 30. After cooling the inside of the storage case 30, the cold air flows out of the storage case 30 from the exhaust port 331 of the storage case 30 as shown by an arrow E. That is, since the communication port 251 is provided above the receiving portion 44 and the exhaust port 331 is provided below the receiving portion 44, cold air flows into the mounting member 40 from above the receiving portion 44. Then, the air flows out from below the receiving portion 44 to the outside of the storage case 30. The air flowing out of the storage case 30 is collected in the cold air duct 29 from the return port 291.

冷蔵庫１０は、更に図８に示す上段ケース５０を有する。上段ケース５０は、上方が開放した容器状に形成され、収容ケース３０の上方に配置されている。上段ケース５０は、収容ケース３０に対して相対的に前後方向に移動可能に構成されている。上段ケース５０の収容ケース３０に対する前後方向の移動は、例えば摺動すること、持ち上げて移動すること、又は車輪状の部品を回転させることによって行われる。上段ケース５０は、一部を除いて、載置部材４０と概ね同様の構成となっている。上段ケース５０は、載置部材４０の受け部４４に替えて、底部５１を有する。底部５１は、概ね水平方向に延びる平面を形成する。底部５１は、枠部４５と一体成型されていても良い。上段ケース５０は、合成樹脂等で構成されているため、大きな荷重に対しても耐えることができる。また、底部５１は水平方向に延びる平面を形成し、収容物の荷重によって変形しないため、平面を有する収容物、例えば矩形の収容物を積み重ねて収容する際には、隙間なく収容することができ、容量を確保することができる。 The refrigerator 10 further has an upper case 50 shown in FIG. The upper case 50 is formed in a container shape with an open upper part, and is arranged above the storage case 30. The upper case 50 is configured to be movable in the front-rear direction relative to the storage case 30. The movement of the upper case 50 with respect to the storage case 30 in the front-rear direction is performed, for example, by sliding, lifting and moving, or by rotating a wheel-shaped component. The upper case 50 has substantially the same configuration as the mounting member 40 except for a part. The upper case 50 has a bottom portion 51 instead of the receiving portion 44 of the mounting member 40. The bottom 51 forms a plane extending substantially horizontally. The bottom portion 51 may be integrally molded with the frame portion 45. Since the upper case 50 is made of synthetic resin or the like, it can withstand a large load. Further, since the bottom portion 51 forms a flat surface extending in the horizontal direction and is not deformed by the load of the contained object, the contained object having a flat surface, for example, a rectangular container can be stacked and accommodated without a gap. , Capacity can be secured.

上段ケース５０と載置部材４０とは、選択的に使用することができる。すなわち、好みや必要性に応じて、ユーザは収容ケース３０と載置部材４０と、又は収容ケース３０と上段ケース５０と、を選択して野菜室１２に収容して使用できる。 The upper case 50 and the mounting member 40 can be selectively used. That is, the user can select the storage case 30 and the mounting member 40, or the storage case 30 and the upper case 50, and store them in the vegetable compartment 12 according to their tastes and needs.

ここで、合成樹脂で構成された剛性のケース内部に球状の生鮮食品つまり曲面形状を有する生鮮食品を収容する場合、ケースの底部は変形しないため、食品が平面上の底部の上を転がってしまう虞れがある。特に、ケースを野菜室から出し入れする際に前後方向に移動した際、球状の生鮮食品が転がってしまうことがある。また、曲面形状を有する食品と底部との接点は比較的少なくなり、例えば食品と底部とが一点で接触することもある。その場合、食品の荷重が一点に集中してしまうため、とりわけ皮が薄い桃やトマトのような食品の場合、接触点において痛みが加速する虞れがある。更に、合成樹脂は空気よりも密度が大きく、一般的に比熱も大きいものが多いため、底部全体の熱容量は同体積の空気の熱容量よりも大きい。また、一般に合成樹脂の方が空気よりも熱伝導率が高い。合成樹脂で構成された板状の底部が一度冷却されると、食品は、食品と底部との接点において、食品と空気との接点においてよりも冷却されやすくなる。その場合、生鮮食品は、冷たくなった底部との接触点において、低温障害を起こす可能性がある。 Here, when a spherical fresh food, that is, a fresh food having a curved surface shape is stored inside a rigid case made of synthetic resin, the bottom of the case is not deformed, so that the food rolls on the bottom on a flat surface. There is a risk. In particular, when the case is moved in the front-rear direction when it is taken in and out of the vegetable compartment, the spherical fresh food may roll. Further, the contact point between the food having a curved surface shape and the bottom portion is relatively small, and for example, the food product and the bottom portion may come into contact with each other at one point. In that case, since the load of the food is concentrated on one point, the pain may be accelerated at the contact point, especially in the case of foods such as peaches and tomatoes having thin skins. Further, since many synthetic resins have a higher density than air and generally have a large specific heat, the heat capacity of the entire bottom is larger than the heat capacity of the same volume of air. In addition, synthetic resin generally has a higher thermal conductivity than air. Once the plate-shaped bottom made of synthetic resin is cooled, the food is more likely to be cooled at the point of contact between the food and the bottom than at the point of contact between the food and the air. In that case, the fresh food may cause chilling injury at the point of contact with the cold bottom.

これに対し、以上説明した実施形態によれば、冷蔵庫１０は、冷蔵庫本体である断熱箱体２０と、断熱箱体２０に設けられた貯蔵室である野菜室１２と、野菜室１２に引き出し可能に設けられた収容ケース３０と、収容ケース３０に着脱可能に設けられ収容物を載置可能な載置部材４０と、を備える。また載置部材４０は、載置部材４０を収容ケース３０に着脱可能に支持する枠部４５と、柔軟性と通気性とを有する部材で形成され、枠部４５に取り付けられて収容ケース３０の底面から離間して設けられ、収容物を受ける受け部４４と、を有する。 On the other hand, according to the embodiment described above, the refrigerator 10 can be pulled out to the heat insulating box body 20 which is the main body of the refrigerator, the vegetable room 12 which is the storage room provided in the heat insulating box body 20, and the vegetable room 12. It is provided with a storage case 30 provided in the storage case 30 and a mounting member 40 detachably provided on the storage case 30 on which the stored material can be placed. Further, the mounting member 40 is formed of a frame portion 45 that detachably supports the mounting member 40 on the storage case 30, and a member having flexibility and breathability, and is attached to the frame portion 45 to support the storage case 30. It has a receiving portion 44, which is provided apart from the bottom surface and receives the contained object.

これによれば、受け部４４は柔軟性を有するため、収容物の荷重によって変形する。そのため、曲面形状の収容物を収容した際に、複数の点又は面で野菜や果物等の収容物の重みを支えることができ、球状の生鮮食品との接触面積が比較的確保しやすい。したがって、収容物の荷重が一点に集中せず、収容物の自重による痛みを抑制することができる。 According to this, since the receiving portion 44 has flexibility, it is deformed by the load of the contained object. Therefore, when the curved container is stored, the weight of the container such as vegetables and fruits can be supported by a plurality of points or surfaces, and the contact area with the spherical fresh food is relatively easy to secure. Therefore, the load of the contained object is not concentrated on one point, and the pain caused by the weight of the contained object can be suppressed.

更に、受け部４４は、網目状に形成されている。そのため、受け部４４は、板状に形成された同面積の従来例のケースの底部よりも熱容量が小さい。したがって、受け部４４と収容物との接触点又は接触面において、食品が過度に冷却されることが抑制され、食品の低温障害が低減される。したがって、本実施形態によれば、収容物の保存性能を向上した冷蔵庫が提供される。 Further, the receiving portion 44 is formed in a mesh shape. Therefore, the receiving portion 44 has a smaller heat capacity than the bottom portion of the conventional case having the same area formed in a plate shape. Therefore, it is suppressed that the food is excessively cooled at the contact point or the contact surface between the receiving portion 44 and the container, and the chilling injury of the food is reduced. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, a refrigerator having improved storage performance of the contained material is provided.

また、受け部４４は柔軟性を有するため、収容物の荷重によって変形する。そのため、本実施形態によれば、曲面形状の収容物を収容した際に、収容物が転がってしまうことを抑制できる。 Further, since the receiving portion 44 has flexibility, it is deformed by the load of the contained object. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the contained object from rolling when the curved object is housed.

更にまた、受け部４４は通気性を有するため、野菜室に流入した冷気は、載置部材４０に流入した後、受け部４４を通過して収容ケース３０に導かれる。そのため、載置部材４０が収容ケース３０の上方に設けられていても、冷気の通過が妨げられないので、野菜室内を効率的に冷却することができる。 Furthermore, since the receiving portion 44 has air permeability, the cold air that has flowed into the vegetable compartment flows into the mounting member 40 and then passes through the receiving portion 44 and is guided to the storage case 30. Therefore, even if the mounting member 40 is provided above the storage case 30, the passage of cold air is not obstructed, so that the vegetable compartment can be efficiently cooled.

更に、載置部材４０は、収容ケース３０に対して相対的に前後方向に移動可能に取り付けられる。つまり、載置部材４０は、収容ケース３０と共に野菜室１２から出し入れすることもできるし、収容ケース３０から独立して前後方向に移動することもできる。載置部材４０は、収容ケース３０が引き出されることに連動して、収容ケース３０と一体的に引き出される構成とすることができる。この場合、ユーザは、例えば載置部材４０の内部の収容物を取り出したい時には収容ケース３０と載置部材４０とを共に引き出し、収容ケース３０の内部の収容物を取り出したい時には、載置部材４０を野菜室１２に押し戻したり持ち上げたりする等して移動すればよい。 Further, the mounting member 40 is attached so as to be movable in the front-rear direction relative to the storage case 30. That is, the mounting member 40 can be taken in and out of the vegetable compartment 12 together with the storage case 30, or can be moved in the front-rear direction independently of the storage case 30. The mounting member 40 can be configured to be pulled out integrally with the storage case 30 in conjunction with the pulling out of the storage case 30. In this case, for example, when the user wants to take out the contents inside the mounting member 40, he / she pulls out both the storage case 30 and the mounting member 40, and when he / she wants to take out the contents inside the storage case 30, the mounting member 40 May be moved back to the vegetable compartment 12 or lifted.

また、載置部材４０は、収容ケース３０が引き出されることに連動せずに、つまり収容ケース３０の移動とは独立して移動する構成とすることができる。この場合、ユーザは、収容ケース３０の内部の収容物を取り出したい時には、収容ケース３０のみを手前に引き出し、例えば載置部材４０の内部の収容物を取り出したい時には収容ケース３０を手前に引き出した後に載置部材４０を手前に引き出したり持ち上げたりする等して移動すればよい。 Further, the mounting member 40 may be configured to move without being interlocked with the pulling out of the storage case 30, that is, moving independently of the movement of the storage case 30. In this case, when the user wants to take out the contents inside the storage case 30, he pulls out only the storage case 30 toward him, and when he wants to take out the contents inside the mounting member 40, he pulls out the storage case 30 toward him. After that, the mounting member 40 may be moved by pulling it out or lifting it toward you.

このように、本実施形態によれば、ユーザは、載置部材４０をスライドさせることで収容ケース３０の上方を開放させることができる。そのため、ユーザは、収容ケース３０に収容物を出し入れする際に、載置部材４０を収容ケース３０からいちいち着脱する必要がないため、ユーザの利便性を損なうことがない。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, the user can open the upper part of the storage case 30 by sliding the mounting member 40. Therefore, the user does not have to attach and detach the mounting member 40 from the accommodation case 30 one by one when putting in and taking out the contents in the accommodation case 30, so that the convenience of the user is not impaired.

また、冷蔵庫１０は、上部が開口した容器形状に形成され、収容ケース３０に対して着脱可能かつ相対的に前後方向に移動可能な上段ケース５０を更に備えている。つまり、ユーザは、載置部材４０と上段ケース５０とを選択的に使用可能である。ユーザは、好みや必要性に応じて、載置部材４０又は上段ケース５０を使用することができるため、ユーザの利便性が向上する。 Further, the refrigerator 10 is further provided with an upper case 50 which is formed in a container shape with an open upper portion, is removable from the storage case 30, and can be moved in the front-rear direction relative to the storage case 30. That is, the user can selectively use the mounting member 40 and the upper case 50. Since the user can use the mounting member 40 or the upper case 50 according to his / her preference and necessity, the convenience of the user is improved.

更に、収容ケース３０は、受け部４４の下方に設けられて収容ケース３０の内部と外部とを連通する排気口３３１を更に有する。野菜室１２に導入された冷気は、受け部４４の上方から受け部４４を通って収容ケース３０内に流入し、その後排気口３３１から収容ケース３０の外部に流出する。これによれば、載置部材４０と収容ケース３０との内部で冷気の流れがスムーズになる。そのため、野菜室１２内にまんべんなく冷気が行き渡りやすくなり、野菜室１２に収容した収容物を効率的に冷却することができる。 Further, the accommodating case 30 further has an exhaust port 331 provided below the receiving portion 44 and communicating the inside and the outside of the accommodating case 30. The cold air introduced into the vegetable compartment 12 flows into the storage case 30 from above the receiving portion 44 through the receiving portion 44, and then flows out from the exhaust port 331 to the outside of the storage case 30. According to this, the flow of cold air becomes smooth inside the mounting member 40 and the storage case 30. Therefore, the cold air can be easily distributed evenly in the vegetable compartment 12, and the contents contained in the vegetable compartment 12 can be efficiently cooled.

（その他の実施形態）
なお、上記の実施形態において、載置部材４０の上方に、さらに別の小型の食品収容用のケースを設け、野菜室１２に設ける食品収容用の容器を、収容ケース３０と、載置部材４０と、小型の食品収容用のケースとの３段構成としても良い。この場合であっても、上述の効果が奏される。 (Other embodiments)
In the above embodiment, another small food storage case is provided above the mounting member 40, and the food storage container provided in the vegetable compartment 12 is provided in the storage case 30 and the mounting member 40. And a small food storage case may be configured in three stages. Even in this case, the above-mentioned effect is achieved.

また、載置部材４０の前面部４１と背面部４２との間の距離を可変としても良い。その場合、受け部４４の水平方向への投射面積が可変となる。例えば、枠部４５の一部を構成する側面部４３に替えて、紐状又はテープ状の柔軟性を有する部材等で構成された側部を設け、前面部４１を前後に移動させることによって、前面部４１と背面部４２との間の距離を可変としても良い。又は、側面部４３を蛇腹式に構成することによって、前面部４１と背面部４２との間の距離を可変としても良い。この場合、上述の効果に加えて、受け部４４の面積すなわち載置部材４０の収容面積を可変にできるという効果がある。 Further, the distance between the front surface portion 41 and the back surface portion 42 of the mounting member 40 may be variable. In that case, the projection area of the receiving portion 44 in the horizontal direction becomes variable. For example, instead of the side surface portion 43 that forms a part of the frame portion 45, a side portion made of a string-shaped or tape-shaped flexible member or the like is provided, and the front surface portion 41 is moved back and forth. The distance between the front surface portion 41 and the back surface portion 42 may be variable. Alternatively, the distance between the front surface portion 41 and the back surface portion 42 may be made variable by forming the side surface portion 43 in a bellows type. In this case, in addition to the above-mentioned effect, there is an effect that the area of the receiving portion 44, that is, the accommodating area of the mounting member 40 can be made variable.

更に、図９に示すように、載置部材６０を、冷蔵室１１に設けても良い。この場合、冷蔵室１１は、複数の棚板１８と、複数の保持部材１９と、を備える。棚板１８は板状に形成され、食品などの収容物を支持する機能を有する。保持部材１９は、冷蔵室１１の左右の側壁１１３に設けられ、棚板１８を左右から支えて水平方向に維持する。そして、複数の棚板１８のうちの一部と載置部材６０とを、選択的に使用可能としても良い。載置部材６０は、左右１対の枠部６１と、受け部６２とを備える。枠部６１は、保持部材１９に保持されて、載置部材６０を概ね水平方向に維持する。受け部６２は、柔軟性と通気性とを有する部材で形成され、枠部６１に取り付けられて、収容物を受ける。受け部６２は、冷蔵室１１の底面から離間して設けられている。具体的には、受け部６２は、載置部材６０の下方にある棚板１８から離間して設けられている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the mounting member 60 may be provided in the refrigerating chamber 11. In this case, the refrigerating chamber 11 includes a plurality of shelf boards 18 and a plurality of holding members 19. The shelf board 18 is formed in a plate shape and has a function of supporting an container such as food. The holding member 19 is provided on the left and right side walls 113 of the refrigerating chamber 11 and supports the shelf board 18 from the left and right to maintain the shelf plate 18 in the horizontal direction. Then, a part of the plurality of shelf boards 18 and the mounting member 60 may be selectively used. The mounting member 60 includes a pair of left and right frame portions 61 and a receiving portion 62. The frame portion 61 is held by the holding member 19 and maintains the mounting member 60 in the substantially horizontal direction. The receiving portion 62 is formed of a member having flexibility and breathability, and is attached to the frame portion 61 to receive the contained object. The receiving portion 62 is provided so as to be separated from the bottom surface of the refrigerating chamber 11. Specifically, the receiving portion 62 is provided apart from the shelf plate 18 below the mounting member 60.

この実施形態によれば、冷蔵庫１０は、冷蔵庫本体である断熱箱体２０と、断熱箱体２０に設けられた貯蔵室である冷蔵室１１と、冷蔵室１１に着脱可能に設けられ収容物を載置可能な載置部材６０と、を備える。載置部材６０は、載置部材６０を着脱可能に支持する枠部６１と、柔軟性と通気性とを有する部材で形成され、枠部６１に取り付けられて冷蔵室１１の底面から離間して設けられ、収容物を受ける受け部６２と、を有する。 According to this embodiment, the refrigerator 10 is detachably provided in the heat insulating box body 20 which is the main body of the refrigerator, the refrigerating room 11 which is the storage chamber provided in the heat insulating box body 20, and the refrigerating room 11 to accommodate the contents. A mounting member 60 that can be mounted is provided. The mounting member 60 is formed of a frame portion 61 that detachably supports the mounting member 60 and a member having flexibility and breathability, and is attached to the frame portion 61 and separated from the bottom surface of the refrigerating chamber 11. It has a receiving portion 62 that is provided and receives the contents.

冷蔵室１１の背面壁１１４には、冷気ダクト２９から矢印Ｆで示すように冷気が流入する、吹出し口２９２が複数設けられている。受け部６２は、少なくとも１つの吹出し口２９２よりも下方に位置する。そのため、吹出し口２９２から冷蔵室１１内に流入した冷気は、受け部６２を通過して、下方に移動する。したがって、載置部材６０に載置された収容物や、載置部材６０の下方に収容された収容物を効率的に冷却することができる。 The back wall 114 of the refrigerating chamber 11 is provided with a plurality of outlets 292 through which cold air flows from the cold air duct 29 as shown by an arrow F. The receiving portion 62 is located below at least one outlet 292. Therefore, the cold air that has flowed into the refrigerating chamber 11 from the outlet 292 passes through the receiving portion 62 and moves downward. Therefore, the contained object mounted on the mounting member 60 and the contained object housed below the mounting member 60 can be efficiently cooled.
