Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a refrigerator achieves higher cooling effect of a compressor by distributing air taken into a machine chamber with an air guider in the refrigerator, set in the machine chamber, having the compressor formed at a lower part thereof. CONSTITUTION:An air guider 22 is set in a machine chamber 13 to distribute air taken into a machine chamber 13 to a condenser 15 and a compressor 16.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a refrigerator in which a compressor is installed in a machine room formed at the bottom of the refrigerator.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, refrigerators have become larger (internal volume of 400 L).
~ 500 L) tends to be the mainstream. In that case, the installed compressor also has a large capacity. The installation of the compressor in the machine room is constituted by US Pat. No. 3,736,768.

A conventional example will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a plan view of a machine room of a conventional refrigerator.
1 is a machine room. 2 is a mounting plate on which the condenser 3 and the compressor 5 are mounted. A blower 4 cools the condenser 3 and the compressor 5. A fan ring 7 is attached to further improve efficiency. 6 is a defrost water saucer. 8 is a machine room cover. Reference numeral 9 is a partition wall for partitioning the high pressure side and the low pressure side in the machine room 1, and 10 is a discharge port.

In the refrigerator constructed as described above, the air (arrow) taken into the machine room 1 by the blower 4 first cools the condenser 3 and then the compressor 5. Then, the water passes through the upper portion of the defrost water receiving tray 6 and is discharged to the outside of the machine room 1 through the discharge port 10.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned structure, since the air blown once by the condenser 3 is blown to the compressor 5 by the blower 4, the cooling effect of the compressor 5 is small. there were.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a refrigerator in which the cooling effect of the condenser and the compressor is enhanced.

[0007]

To achieve the above object, the refrigerator of the present invention comprises an outer box constituting a refrigerator main body, a machine room defined by an outer box bottom plate at a lower part of the refrigerator main body, and a refrigerator placed in the machine room. A compressor, a condenser, a blower for cooling the compressor and the condenser, an air guider for distributing the air taken in by the blower to the compressor and the condenser, and an air provided on the back of the machine chamber. It comprises an intake port, a heat exhaust hole for the condenser provided on the side surface of the machine room, and a heat exhaust hole for the compressor provided on the front surface of the machine room.

[0008]

The refrigerator of the present invention has the above-mentioned structure. Since the air taken in from the back of the machine room by the blower for cooling the compressor and the condenser is distributed to the compressor and the condenser by the air guider, the compressor is the condenser. Not affected by waste heat.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 11 denotes an outer box which constitutes the refrigerator main body, and a machine room 13 which is partitioned by an outer box bottom plate 12 at the lower part thereof. A blower 14 introduces air into the machine room 13 to cool the condenser 15 and the compressor 16.
Reference numeral 17 is a mounting plate on which the blower 14, the condenser 15, and the compressor 16 are mounted. Reference numeral 18 denotes a defrost water saucer, which is placed on the heating plate 19.

Reference numeral 20 is a fan ring. Reference numeral 21 is an air intake port which is provided in the rear part of the machine room. Reference numeral 22 is an air guider for collecting the air taken into the machine room 13 from the condenser 1
5 and the compressor 16. Reference numeral 23 denotes a heat exhaust hole for the condenser, which is provided on the side surface of the machine room. Reference numeral 24 denotes a heat exhaust hole for the compressor, which is provided in the front part of the machine room.

In such a structure, the air intake port 21
The air taken in by the blower 14 is distributed to the condenser 15 and the compressor 16 by the air guider 22. The air distributed to the condenser 15 cools the condenser 15,
The heat is discharged from the heat exhaust hole 23 for the condenser to the outside of the machine room. On the other hand, the air distributed to the compressor 16 is
Is cooled, passes through the upper portion of the defrost water receiving tray 18, and is discharged to the outside of the machine room through the heat exhaust hole 24 for the compressor.

Due to the above-mentioned structure, the blower 14
Since the air taken into the machine room 13 from the air intake port 21 was distributed to the condenser 15 and the compressor 16 by the air guider 22, the compressor 16 is not affected by the exhaust heat of the condenser 15 and is cooled. The effect can be enhanced.

[0014]

As described above, the refrigerator of the present invention is
An outer box forming a refrigerator body, a machine room partitioned by an outer box bottom plate at the lower part of the refrigerator body, a compressor mounted in the machine room, a condenser, and a blower for cooling the compressor and the condenser. An air guider for distributing the air taken in by the blower to the compressor and the condenser, an air intake port provided at the back of the machine room, and a heat exhaust hole for the condenser provided at the side of the machine room. Since it is composed of a heat exhaust hole for the compressor provided in the front part of the machine room,
The air taken into the machine room from the air intake by the blower was distributed to the condenser and the compressor by the air guider, so the compressor is not affected by the exhaust heat of the condenser,
The cooling effect can be enhanced.
