In the refrigerator of the present invention, a vegetable compartment is provided in a refrigerating compartment, a cooler compartment partitioned by a cooler compartment cover is provided on a rear surface of the vegetable compartment, and a refrigeration cooler accommodated in the cooler compartment and supplied with a refrigerant is provided. The cooling fan which circulates and blows cold air produced | generated by the cooling machine to the said refrigerating compartment and the said vegetable compartment is provided, and when it stops supplying the refrigerant | coolant to the said refrigeration cooler, it continues to drive the said cooling fan, and attaches to the said refrigeration cooler A cooling unit for carrying out a humidification operation for evaporating old frost is provided, and a vegetable container of an open top type housed in the vegetable chamber is provided (claim 1).

According to this structure, when a refrigerant | coolant is supplied to the refrigeration cooler accommodated in the cooler chamber, a refrigeration cooler is cooled. When the cooling fan is driven in this state, since the cold air generated by the refrigerator for cooling is blown to the vegetable chamber through the refrigerating chamber, the temperature of the vegetable chamber is lowered.

When the temperature of the refrigerating chamber is lowered to the set temperature, the cooling unit stops the supply of the refrigerant to the refrigerating cooler, but executes the humidification operation by continuing the drive of the cooling fan.

At this time, the frost attached to the refrigerating cooler evaporates when the refrigerating cooler adheres to the frost by supply of the refrigerant. As a result, the humidity of the cold air circulating in the refrigerating chamber and the vegetable chamber is increased, so that the vegetables stored in the vegetable chamber are prevented from being dried. Therefore, an inexpensive top open type can be used as the vegetable container.

In the above configuration, the cooling unit may execute the humidification operation by stopping the supply of the coolant to the refrigerating cooler and continuing the driving of the cooling fan for a predetermined time (claim 2).

According to this configuration, the cooling unit executes the humidification operation by continuing the driving of the cooling fan for a predetermined time when the supply of the refrigerant to the refrigerating cooler is stopped. Thereby, while raising the humidity of the cold air which circulates and blows the refrigerator compartment and the vegetable compartment in a short time, the excessive temperature rise of the refrigerator | cooler for refrigeration by the circulation blow of cold air can be prevented.

Moreover, the vegetable compartment may be provided in the lower part of a refrigerator compartment, and the said refrigerator compartment and the said vegetable compartment may be partitioned with a transparent partition board (claim 3).

According to such a structure, since the refrigerator compartment and the vegetable compartment are partitioned by the transparent partition board, when the door of a refrigerator compartment is opened, the petition housed in the vegetable compartment can be confirmed through the transparent partition board, and it is convenient to use. In this case, since it is about the same temperature as a refrigerator compartment and a vegetable compartment, a transparent partition board does not become cloudy.

In addition, a low temperature storage container may be arranged above the vegetable chamber, and a portion of the cold air blown by the cooling fan may be directly blown in the low temperature storage container (claim 4).

According to such a structure, since the unused space exists in the upper part of a vegetable container, the space efficiency of a vegetable compartment can be improved by arrange | positioning a low temperature storage container in that space.

Since a part of the cold air blown by the cooling fan is directly blown in the cold storage container, the temperature of the cold storage container can be adjusted to a temperature lower than that of the vegetable chamber.

The front surface of the cooler chamber cover may have a rib projecting forward to prevent cold air blown from the refrigerating chamber to the vegetable compartment along the front surface of the cooler chamber cover (claim 5).

According to this configuration, when the air is blown from the refrigerating compartment to the vegetable compartment, the air is blown along the front side of the chiller compartment cover located on the rear side of the vegetable compartment. However, since the ribs protrude forward, the front side of the chiller compartment is formed along the front side of the chiller compartment cover. The blowing path of the cold air blown is changed forward by the ribs. As a result, it is possible to prevent the cold air from shortening to the refrigerating cooler, thereby preventing the cooling efficiency from being lowered.

The cooler chamber may be configured to form a suction path for cold air to the refrigerator cooler by a distance between the heat insulating material disposed on the front side of the refrigerator cooler and the refrigerator chamber cover (claim 6).

According to such a structure, the heat insulating material is arrange | positioned at the front surface of the refrigeration cooler arrange | positioned in a cooler chamber, and, thereby, heat insulation with a vegetable chamber is aimed at.

In addition, cold air blown from the refrigerating compartment to the vegetable compartment is sucked into the cooler chamber at the inlet formed in the cooler chamber cover. At this time, the suction path leading to the refrigerating cooler is formed by the distance between the cooler chamber cover and the insulator, so that the structure of the cooler chamber can be simplified, the cost of the cooler chamber can be reduced, and the size can be reduced. can do.

In addition, the refrigerator of the present invention is provided with a refrigerating cycle having a refrigerating chiller for generating cold air for freezing and a refrigerating chiller for producing cold air by driving the compressor, and installing a refrigerating chamber in which the refrigerating cooler is arranged. And a refrigeration chamber in which the refrigeration cooler is disposed, and a cooling fan for circulating and cooling the cold air generated in the refrigeration cooler to the refrigerating compartment, and when the supply of the coolant to the refrigerating cooler is stopped. A cooling unit for carrying out a humidification operation for evaporating the frost attached to the refrigerating cooler by continuing the operation of the refrigerator, a vegetable compartment installed in the refrigerating compartment, and a top open type vegetable container housed in the vegetable compartment. (Claim 7).

According to such a structure, since a cooling unit selectively supplies a refrigerant | coolant to a refrigeration cooler and a refrigeration cooler, it can use a low output power as a cooling unit compared with the structure which cools a refrigerator compartment and a freezer compartment by one cooler.

In addition, a front portion of the vegetable container 30 is provided with a storage portion 35 suitable for storing a plastic bottle.

7, the collar part 31b integrated with the handle part 31a is formed in the upper peripheral edge part of the chilled case 31, and the collar part 31b is shown in FIG. The cover 36 is mounted in a slidable manner.

At the front end of the collar portion 31b oriented in the front-rear direction, a projection-shaped first stopper portion 37 is formed, and a projection-shaped portion is located behind the first stopper portion 37 by a predetermined size. The second stopper portion 38 is formed, and the upper surface of the chilled case 31 is closed on the cover 36 while the peripheral edge of the cover 36 is caught by the first stopper portion 37. In the state in which the cover 36 is slid backward, the upper surface of the chilled case 31 is half-opened by the peripheral edge portion of the cover 36 being caught by the second stopper portion 38.

In this case, between the 1st stopper part 37 and the 2nd stopper part 38, it is connected by the protrusion part 39 (refer FIG. 6) of height 0.5mm and width 2mm.

By being inserted into the inner box bit 43 (refer FIG. 6) formed in the front-back direction, the chilled case 31 and the cover 36 slide along the inner box 43. As shown in FIG.

In the state in which the chilled case 31 is closed by the cover 36, the vent hole 45 is formed by the cutout 44 formed at the rear end of the chilled case 31 and the rear end of the cover 36. As shown in FIG. 5, in the state where the chilled case 31 is positioned at the correct position, the blower outlet 22 formed on the front surface of the R ever seal cover 21 is positioned at the ventilation hole 45.

In the front end of the cover 36 of the chilled case 31, a hole 46 serving as a handle is formed, and the cold air blown through the chilled case 31 is blown into the vegetable chamber 3 through the hole 46. It is.

Returning to FIG. 5, the refrigerator compartment 2 and the vegetable compartment 3 are partitioned with the transparent partition board 47, and the communication port 48 is formed in the rear end of the transparent partition board 47. As shown in FIG. Therefore, the refrigerator compartment 2 communicates with the vegetable compartment 3, and the cold air blown into the refrigerator compartment 2 is blown to the vegetable compartment 3, too.

In the R ever seal cover 21, the rib 49 is protruded from the upper part of the blower outlet 22, and in the state in which the chilled case 31 is located in the correct position of the vegetable chamber 3, the lower part of the rib 49 is provided. The inner end of the cover 36 of the chilled case 31 is located. Therefore, the cold air blown from the refrigerating chamber 2 through the communication port 48 of the transparent partition board 47 to the vegetable chamber 3 is prevented from shortening to the R ever chamber 20 along the back surface of the vegetable chamber 3. It is becoming.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, a freezer cooler chamber 50 (hereinafter referred to as an F-aver chamber) is formed on the rear surface of the freezer compartment 6, and the freezer cooler 51 ( Hereinafter, F-aver and the refrigeration cooling fan 52 (hereinafter F fan) are arrange | positioned. In the driving state of the F fan 52, the cool air generated in the F ever 51 is circulated and blown into the ice making chamber 4, the temperature conversion chamber 5, and the freezing chamber 6 by the F fan 52.

Here, the circumference | surroundings of the temperature switching chamber 5 are partitioned by the heat insulation partition wall which consists of foamed styrol, and the temperature switching chamber 5 is comprised so that temperature adjustment can be performed independently from the ice-making chamber 4 and the freezing chamber 6. That is, a temperature sensor (not shown) is provided in the temperature switching chamber 5, and cold air is blown into the temperature switching chamber 5 in accordance with opening and closing of the damper (not shown) to adjust to a predetermined set temperature. In this case, the set temperature is set according to the user's use purpose, and the use purpose is a freezing chamber (about -18 ° C), a partial freezing chamber (about -3 ° C), a chilled chamber (about 0 ° C), a refrigerating chamber (about 2 (DegreeC), a vegetable room (about 3 degreeC), and a wine cooling room (about 8 degreeC) are set.

8 schematically shows a cooling unit of the refrigerator 1. In FIG. 8, the cooling unit 53 is configured by connecting an inverter compressor 54, a condenser 55, an R ever 26, and an F ever 51. That is, an inverter compressor 54 is arranged in the machine room provided on the bottom surface of the refrigerator 1, and the discharge side of the inverter compressor 54 is located on the inflow side of the condenser 55 disposed on the bottom surface of the refrigerator 1. The inlet side of the three-way valve 56 is connected to the outlet side of the condenser 55. One outlet of the three-way valve 56 is connected to the R ever 26 through the refrigeration capacitor 57, and the other outlet is connected to the F ever 51 through the refrigeration capacitor 58. . The outflow side of the R ever 26 and the inflow side of the F ever 51 are connected, and the outflow side of the F ever 51 is connected to the intake side of the inverter compressor 54.

9 shows the control timing of the cooling unit 53. In Fig. 9, when the temperature of the refrigerating chamber 2 becomes higher than 2 ° C, which is the set temperature, the refrigerating unit 53 executes the refrigerating chamber cooling mode (hereinafter referred to as R cooling mode) and the temperature of the freezing chamber 6 is-. When the temperature is higher than 20 ° C, the freezer compartment cooling mode (hereinafter referred to as F cooling mode) is executed. That is, when the R cooling mode is executed, the inverter compressor 54 is driven at an output of 140 W while the refrigerant is supplied to the R ever 26 by switching the three-way valve 56, and the F cooling mode is executed. In this case, the inverter compressor 54 is operated at an output of 90 W while the refrigerant is supplied to the F-aver 51 by switching the three-way valve 56.

Here, the cooling unit 53 drives the R fan 28 and the F fan 52 in accordance with the execution of the R cooling mode and the F cooling mode. In the R fan 28, the refrigerant is supplied to the R ever 26. The humidification operation which continues to drive only for predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) is performed also after stopping. This is to increase the humidity of the cold air blown into the refrigerator 1 by evaporating the frost attached to the R ever 26, and the feature of this refrigerator is that the humidity of the cold air blown into the refrigerator compartment 2 is thus increased.

In addition, since each of the Evers 26 and 51 is cooled by time division by selectively supplying a coolant to the R Evers 26 and F Evers 51, compared with the configuration in which the refrigerator compartment and the freezer compartment are cooled by one cooler. Even if the refrigeration capacity of the refrigeration unit is low, it is solved. As a compressor, it is possible to adopt a low output power, that is, a low power consumption compressor, which is a feature of the refrigerator.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described.

When the temperature of the refrigerating chamber 2 exceeds 2 ° C. which is the set temperature, the cooling unit 53 executes the R cooling mode. That is, the inverter compressor 54 is operated at an output of 140 W while the refrigerant is supplied to the R-aver 26 by switching the three-way valve 56. In this operating state, since the R ever 26 is cooled to about -18 ° C, cold air of about -18 ° C is blown into the refrigerating chamber 2 when the R fan 28 is driven in accordance with the execution of the R cooling mode. .

Here, the refrigerator compartment 2 and the vegetable compartment 3 are partitioned by the transparent partition board 47, but since the communication port 48 is formed and communicates with the predetermined part of the transparent partition board 47, the R cooling mode The cold air blown into the refrigerating chamber 2 by the execution of the air blows into the vegetable chamber 3, and the temperature of the vegetable chamber 3 decreases. In this case, since the cold air blown into the vegetable compartment 3 absorbs heat slightly when passing through the refrigerating compartment 2 and the temperature rises, in the state where the refrigerating compartment 2 is cooled to 2 ° C, the temperature of the vegetable compartment 3 is It cools to 3 degreeC slightly higher than the temperature of the refrigerator compartment 2.

On the other hand, when the temperature of the freezing chamber 6 exceeds -20 ° C, which is the set temperature, the cooling unit 53 executes the F cooling mode. That is, by switching the three-way valve 56, the inverter compressor 54 is operated at an output of 90 W while the refrigerant is supplied to the F-aver 51. In this operating state, since the F-aver 51 is cooled to about -25 ° C, in the state where the F fan 52 is driven in accordance with the execution of the F cooling mode, about -25 ° C of cold air is in the ice making chamber 4 and the freezing chamber. (6) is blown.

In addition, in the temperature switching chamber 5, by cooling the air of about -25 DEG C according to the opening and closing of the damper at the temperature according to the set use purpose, it is adjusted to the temperature according to the setting use by a user.

In the present embodiment, however, the cooling unit 53 continues to drive the R fan 28 only for a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) when the execution of the R cooling mode is completed as described above. As a result, about 2 to 3 ° C. cold air was circulated through the refrigerating chamber 2 and the vegetable chamber 3 in the state where the refrigerant was stopped while the R ever 26 cooled to about −18 ° C. by executing the R cooling mode. Is blown, the frost adhering to the R ever 26 evaporates in a short time. As a result, the humidity of the cold air circulating through the refrigerating chamber 2 and the vegetable chamber 3 increases in a short time from about 35% to 70% or more.

As a result of the high humidity cold air being blown into the vegetable chamber 3, the vegetables stored in the vegetable container 30 of the upper surface type are prevented from being dried, so that long-term storage of the vegetables is possible.

On the other hand, in the chilled case 31 provided in the upper part of the vegetable container 30, cold air | atmosphere of about -18 degreeC is blown directly from the R ever 26. At this time, since the chilled case 31 is closed by the cover 36 and the return hole 46 is formed in the cover 36, the cold air blown to the chilled case 31 is covered by the cover ( It blows into the vegetable chamber 3 through the hole 46 formed in 36. As shown in FIG. As a result, the temperature of the chilled case is cooled to a temperature (about 1 to 2 ° C) lower than that of the vegetable chamber 3 (about 3 ° C). In this case, since the hole 46 formed in the cover 36 also serves as a handle, it is not necessary to separately form the handle in the cover 36.

Thus, as a part of the cold air in the R ever 26 is blown to the chilled case 31 in the vegetable chamber 3, the suction side pressure of the R fan 28 can be raised, Compared with the structure which blows all cold air to the refrigerating chamber 2, the pressure loss difference of the R fan 28 can be reduced and cooling efficiency can be improved.

By the way, when the vegetable container 30 is taken out, the chilled case 31 mounted in the upper part of the vegetable container 30 is also taken out integrally as shown in FIG. When taking out the food stored in the chilled case 31 in this state, the cover 36 which covers the chilled case 1 is pushed inward. Then, since the cover 36 hanging on the first stopper portion 37 of the chilled case 31 passes over the first stopper portion 37, the cover 36 slides inward as shown in FIG. The cover 36 is positioned with respect to the chilled case 31 at the position caught by the second stopper portion 38. At this time, since the cover 36 slides while slidingly contacting the protrusion part 39 having a height of 0.5 mm and a width of 2 mm formed on the collar portion 31b of the chilled case 31, the cover 36 is slid when the cover 36 slides. The resulting wound is limited to an extremely narrow range corresponding to the protrusion 39. Thereby, even if the whole case 31 is formed with the transparent resin, the beauty of the case 31 does not deteriorate.

In addition, when taking out the vegetables stored in the vegetable container 30, the chilled case 31 located in the upper portion of the vegetable container 30 is pushed inward. Then, the pulley 33 provided on the bottom surface of the chilled case 31 escapes from the stopper portion 34 of the pulley bead 32 formed on the inner wall surface of the vegetable container 30, and the pulley bead ( 32) Proceed above and position in contact with the inner end of the pulley bead 32 as shown in FIG. In this state, the upper surface of the chilled case 31 is completely closed by the cover 36.

In addition, when the cover 36 of the chilled case 31 is moved inward in the closed state or the half-opened state, the guide part 41 formed in the chilled case 31 as shown in FIG. 13. ) Touches the guide portion 42 formed in the cover 36, the cover 36 moves inward along the inner box bead 43 as the interior of the chilled case 31 moves.

Then, when the vegetable container 30 is moved inward to accommodate the vegetable container 30 in the vegetable chamber 3, the vegetable container 30 moves inward while the child case 31 is stopped, and the child container Where the pulley 33 of 31 is located at the rear end of the stopper portion 34 of the pulley bead 32 of the vegetable container 30, the chilled case 31 integrally with the vegetable container 30 3) will be positioned within.

According to this embodiment, in addition to the F-aver 51 as the cooling unit 53, the R-aver 26 is independently installed, and the vegetable chamber 3 is provided in communication with the lower side of the refrigerating chamber 2, Since the operation of the R fan 28 is continued for a predetermined time at the end of the R cooling mode, the humidification mode in which the frost attached to the R ever 26 is evaporated in a short time is executed. Thus, the refrigerating chamber 2 and the vegetable chamber 3 are closed. Humidity of cold air which circulates and blows can be raised. Therefore, the moisture permeable cover can be omitted in comparison with the conventional configuration in which the upper surface of the vegetable container is covered with the moisture-permeable cover, and the cost of the vegetable container 30 can be reduced, and the arrangement space of the moisture-permeable cover is reduced to reduce the space of the vegetable compartment 3. Space efficiency can be improved.

Moreover, since the partition between the refrigerator compartment 2 and the vegetable compartment 3 was made into the transparent partition board 47, when the door 7 of the refrigerator compartment 2 was opened, the vegetables were opened through the transparent partition board 47. The vegetables stored in the container 30 can be confirmed, and the structure is convenient.

In addition, since the chilled case 31 is mounted on the upper part of the vegetable container 30, the cold air from the R Ever 26 is directly blown to the chilled case 31, so that the upper space of the vegetable container 30 is used. The enlarged chilled thread can be achieved.

In addition, in the R ever chamber 20, the arrangement of the heat insulating material 24 was devised so that the suction path 25 leading to the R ever 26 was formed by the R ever seal cover 21 and the heat insulating material 24. The structure of the R-average 20 can be simplified, the cost can be reduced, and the size can be reduced.

(2nd embodiment)

Next, while describing 2nd Embodiment of this invention with reference to FIG. 14, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same part as 1st Embodiment, and description is abbreviate | omitted. The second embodiment is characterized in that the R fan 28 of the R ever seal 20 is fixed to the front side of the heat insulating material for forming the R ever seal 20.

That is, the heat insulating material 61 for forming the suction path 60 is integrated in the heat insulating material 59 added and bonded to the back surface of the R ever seal cover 21, and the R fan 28 is connected to the heat insulating material 61. It is attached from the front side. As a result, in the driving state of the R fan 28, the cool air is blown forward as indicated by the arrow in the middle of the figure.

On the other hand, the blower outlet 62 is formed in the heat insulating material 59, and the blower outlet 62 is in communication with the blower outlet 22 formed in the R ever seal cover 21, and, thereby, the driving state of the R fan 28. In this case, cold air is blown to the chilled case 31 from the jet port 22 of the R ever seal cover 21.

According to this second embodiment, even if the air passage is in the opposite direction by attaching and fixing the R fan 28 to the heat insulating material 61 for forming the R ever seal 20 from the front surface side, Since the blower path was formed by devising the shape, the structure of the R-average 20 can be simplified and the size can be reduced as in the first embodiment.

This invention is not limited to the said embodiment, It can change or expand as follows.

You may apply to the refrigerator provided only with the refrigerator compartment 2 and the vegetable compartment 3.

The rotation speed of the R cooling fan may be increased when the R cooling fan is driven while the coolant supply to the R ever stops. In this case, the humidity of the cold air circulated in the refrigerating compartment and the vegetable compartment may be increased in a short time.

As can be seen from the above description, according to the refrigerator of the present invention, the coolant generated in the refrigerating cooler arranged in the cooler chamber is blown by a cooling fan to supply coolant to the refrigerating cooler when the air is circulated to the refrigerating chamber and the vegetable chamber. By operating the cooling fan in this stopped state, the frost attached to the refrigerating cooler can be evaporated to increase the humidity of the cold air that circulates in the refrigerating compartment and the vegetable compartment. Therefore, the open top type can be used as the vegetable container housed in the vegetable compartment. Therefore, the cost of the vegetable container can be reduced, and at the same time, it has an excellent effect of increasing the space efficiency of the vegetable compartment.
