Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a refrigerator, such as a regular freezer, a refrigerator, or a freezer/refrigerator case. This article relates to the bottom plate support structure of a refrigerator.

In this type of refrigerator, a bottom plate disposed at the lowest level inside the refrigerator is supported with a space provided below to form a cold air circuit. By the way, a bottom plate support device for supporting the front end of the bottom plate is generally made of a combination of bars, and conventionally is fixed to the front end surface of the bottom plate using attachment parts such as screws and washers.

However, such a structure is expensive due to the large number of parts, and furthermore, the work of assembling the bottom plate supporting device and the bottom plate is complicated, which limits the improvement in work efficiency. Furthermore, since the bottom plate and the bottom plate support device are fixed with screws or the like, there is also the problem that cleaning is difficult.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to reduce the number of parts and
To provide a bottom plate support structure for a refrigerator that allows the bottom plate to be easily attached and removed.

Furthermore, the present invention achieves the above object in a bottom plate support device that integrally includes a product fall prevention guard part that prevents products from falling from the front end of the bottom plate, and an inlet guard part that guards the air intake port below the bottom plate. The aim is also to achieve.

The present invention will be described below using embodiments with reference to the drawings.

First, FIG. 1 shows an example of a refrigerator according to the present invention. A heat insulating material is filled between an inner box 2 and an outer box 3 of the casing 1, so that the inside and outside are insulated. In addition, a plurality of shelves 4 for displaying products are set in the warehouse, and a bottom plate 5 is placed at the bottom of the shelf boards 4. The bottom plate 5 is supported by a bottom plate support device 6 at the front and a bottom plate support device (not shown) at the rear so as to be spaced downwardly. And this bottom plate 5
A cold air circuit (indicated by symbol 13 in FIG. 3) is formed through the lower part of the cooling air.

As shown in FIG. 2, the bottom plate support device 6 is made by joining together parts made by bending bar materials, and has a vertical support that prevents the product from falling from the front end of the bottom plate 5. A product fall prevention guard portion 7 and an air intake port (indicated by symbol 14 in FIG. 3) projecting forward from the product fall prevention guard portion 7.
The bottom plate 5 protrudes rearward from the lower end of the inlet guard part 8 and the product fall prevention guard part 7.
a bottom plate support portion 9 on which the front end of the base plate is placed and supported;
Front end of inlet guard portion 8 and bottom plate support portion 9
Legs 11 and 12 extend downward from the rear end, respectively.
It has It goes without saying that plate materials may be used for the respective parts 7, 8, 9, 11, and 12 of the bottom plate support device 6 as long as the predetermined functions are not impaired. The assembled state in the refrigerator is shown in FIG. 3.

According to such a structure, the front end and the rear end of the bottom plate are respectively supported by the front and rear bottom plate support devices spaced apart from each other, and the front end of the bottom plate is placed on the front bottom plate support device. Because of this structure, only the bottom plate can be removed relatively easily to expose the bottom inside the refrigerator. In particular, since only the bottom plate is attached and detached, the bottom plate can be easily taken in and out of the refrigerator without removing the shelf board above it. Therefore, it is possible to easily clean the bottom surface of the refrigerator interior and collect fallen objects that have fallen under the bottom plate. In addition, only the front bottom plate support device can be freely attached and detached from the bottom plate and the bottom of the interior of the refrigerator.
For example, if there are many products on the bottom plate, you can clean the bottom of the refrigerator by supporting the bottom plate with your hands and removing only the front bottom plate support device without removing the bottom plate. It can be done easily. Furthermore, even if a product or the like falls in front of the bottom plate and blocks the suction port, the dropped item can be easily recovered by removing only the front bottom plate support device. In addition, since no mounting parts such as screws are required, costs can be reduced, and since the bottom plate can be easily installed and removed, the efficiency of assembly work can be improved and cleaning is also easy.

The plate-shaped bottom plate is supported by the bottom plate support device made of rods that form the cold air circuit, and this bottom plate serves as the placement part, so even if the container or product is soft, it will not be deformed. do not have. Furthermore, the rising portion of the bottom plate support device allows the position of the bottom plate to be set in the front-rear direction, and bottom plates of different sizes can also be placed thereon.

It goes without saying that various design changes such as changing the number of legs 11 and 12 are possible.
