Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a so-called chest-type freezer in which goods are delivered from above, and in particular, a removable inner lid is provided at the top of the storage chamber, and a large number of compartments are provided on the upper surface of the inner lid. The purpose is to form ice cubes and make ice there.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings. 1 is a so-called chest type freezer that opens upward, and a heat insulating material 4 is installed in the gap between the outer box 2 and the inner box 3.
The storage chamber 5 is formed by foaming and filling on-site. Reference numeral 6 denotes a ceiling plate that partitions the heat insulating material 4 from a machine room 8 that houses an electric compressor 7 and the like included in the refrigeration cycle. Reference numeral 9 denotes a door for closing the upper opening of the freezer 1, and one end thereof is rotatably supported by a hinge or the like on the opening edge of the freezer 1, and 10 is a gasket. 1
Reference numeral 1 denotes a cooling pipe included in a cooling cycle (not shown), which is wound around the outer peripheral surface of the side wall of the inner box 3 in a thermally conductive manner, and the inside of the storage chamber 5 is cooled by this cooling pipe 11.

Now, in this embodiment, a stepped portion 12 is formed as a locking portion on at least the opposite side of the inner box of the portion located slightly below the upper opening of the storage chamber 5, and this stepped portion 12 is attached to the inner box of the freezer 1. An inner lid 13, which is approximately the same size as the opening, is removably disposed with its end secured.

In the present invention, this inner lid 13 has a large number of compartments 13 for forming ice blocks at appropriate places on its upper surface, as shown in FIG.
A is integrally formed, and water for ice making is injected into this compartment 13a and placed in the refrigerator to make ice. Further, 13b is a handle for storing and removing the inner lid 13. The inner lid 13 may be formed into a plurality of divided bodies, one or all of which may have an ice-making compartment 13a formed therein.

In this embodiment, the step 12 is formed on the inner box 3, but a protrusion such as a rib formed integrally with the inner wall of the inner box 3 may be formed, and the inner lid 13 may be placed on the protrusion. In addition, if the inner box 3 and the inner lid 13 are made of resin molded material and the inner lid 13 is made flexible, the inner box 3 and the inner lid 13 will freeze and the inner lid 13 will not be able to be removed. This also makes it easier to collect ice cubes from the inner lid 13.

The present invention is constructed as described above, and a removable inner lid is provided in the storage chamber of the freezer that opens upward, and the inner lid has a number of compartments for ice making, so when there is no need to make ice, the storage chamber can be In addition to preventing cold air leakage, ice can be made on the inner lid when making ice. Therefore, there is no need to provide a separate ice-making container in the storage chamber, and other stored items do not get in the way when ice is taken out after ice-making, resulting in a great practical effect.
