The guide member 9 has a guide groove 10 formed therein. The doors 7 and 8 are composed of frame members 11 and 12, outer frames 15 and 16, door inner plates 21 and 22, and heat insulating material 23. The outer frames 15 and 16 are composed of frame members 11 and 12 and door outer plates 13 and 14 engaged with the frame members. The door inner plates 21 and 22 are formed by abutting the inner flanges 17 and 18 of the frame members 11 and 12. The heat insulating material 23 is foam-filled between the outer frames 15 and 16 and the door inner plates 21 and 22, respectively.
扉内板 2 1 , 2 2には、 それぞれ左右一対の縦壁 2 4, 2 5が形成さ れている。 また、 枠部材 1 1, 1 2端部の溝 2 6 , 2 7には磁石を内蔵 するガスケット 2 8が取り付けられている。 そのヒレ 2 9は、 非枢支側 の縦壁 2 4 , 2 5にそれぞれ密接する。 ガスケット 2 8は、 扉 7, 8の 閉塞時に、 断熱箱体 4の開口 5の外箱 2前縁に密着して庫内 3 0をシー ルする。 A pair of left and right vertical walls 24 and 25 are formed on the door inner plates 21 and 22 respectively. A gasket 28 containing a magnet is attached to the grooves 26 and 27 at the ends of the frame members 11 and 12. The fin 29 is in close contact with the non-pivotal side vertical walls 24 and 25, respectively. When the doors 7 and 8 are closed, the gasket 28 is in close contact with the front edge of the outer box 2 at the opening 5 of the heat insulating box 4 to seal the inside 30 of the chamber.
さらに、 扉 7の裏面の非枢支側に位置するガスケット 2 8より、 内側 の縦壁 2 4の外側には、断面が略短形状の仕切体 3 1が取り付けられる。 ヒンジ板 3 2は、 縦壁 2 4の外側面において上下二箇所で、 断熱材 2 3 側の補強板 3 3にネジ 3 4にて固定される。 仕切体 3 1は、 このヒンジ 板 3 2の回動軸 3 5に回動自在に支持されている。 仕切体 3 1は、 開口 5縁を上下に渡る長さであって上下のガイド部材 9、 ガイ ド部材 9の案 内溝 1 0、案内溝 1 0の間隔よりも少し短い寸法で上下に延在している。 前面は平面として図 1 3の如く鋼板 3 6が取り付けられている。 Further, a partition 31 having a substantially short cross section is attached to the outside of the inner vertical wall 24 from the gasket 28 located on the non-pivot side of the back surface of the door 7. The hinge plate 32 is fixed to the reinforcing plate 33 on the side of the heat insulating material 23 by screws 34 at two locations above and below the outer surface of the vertical wall 24. The partition member 31 is rotatably supported on a rotation shaft 35 of the hinge plate 32. The partition 31 extends vertically across the edge of the opening 5 and extends vertically with a dimension slightly shorter than the spacing between the guide grooves 9 and the guide grooves 9 of the upper and lower guide members 9 and guide members 9. Are there. The front surface is a flat surface, on which a steel plate 36 is attached as shown in FIG.
さらに、 その上下端には係合部として突起 3 7が上下方向にそれぞれ 突出形成されている。 ヒンジ板 3 2は、 仕切体 3 1の扉 7側の後縁部に 上下二箇所形成した切欠部 3 8より仕切体 3 1内に挿入されでそこに回 動軸 3 5を位置せしめている。 この回動軸 3 5には、 コイルばねから成 るパネ部材 3 9が挿通され、 一端をヒンジ板 3 2に、 又、 他端を回動軸 3 5から離間した仕切体 3 1内の爪 4 0 0にそれぞれ係合している。 こ うして、 コイルばねの復元力により仕切体 3 1を、 常時、 図 1 2の矢印 4 1 0が示すように時計回りに回動する様に構成されている。 In addition, projections 37 are provided at the upper and lower ends as engagement portions in the vertical The projection is formed. The hinge plate 32 is inserted into the partition 31 through two cutouts 38 formed in the upper and lower portions at the rear edge of the partition 31 at the door 7 side, and the rotating shaft 35 is positioned there. . A panel member 39 made of a coil spring is inserted through the rotating shaft 35, and one end of the panel member 39 is inserted into the hinge plate 32, and the other end of the separating member 31 is separated from the rotating shaft 35. And 400 respectively. Thus, the partitioning member 31 is configured to always rotate clockwise as indicated by the arrow 4110 in FIG. 12 by the restoring force of the coil spring.
以上のように構成された従来の扉装置について、 以下その動作を説明 する。 The operation of the conventional door device configured as described above will be described below.
仕切体 3 1は、 扉 7が開放された状態でパネ部材 3 9の復元力によつ て、 図 1 2中破線で示す如く、 扉内板 2 1の縦壁 2 4外側面に沿ってネ ジ 3 4に当接した状態で保持されている。 この初期状態において使用者 の手が誤って仕切体 3 1に当たって、 図 1 2において、 反時計回りに回 動させられても、 バネ部材 3 9によって初期状態に復帰できる。 この動 作は仕切体 3 1の回動角度に無関係に行われる。 したがって、 仕切体 3 When the door 7 is opened, the partitioning body 31 moves along the outer side of the vertical wall 24 of the door inner plate 21 by the restoring force of the panel member 39, as shown by the broken line in FIG. It is held in contact with screws 34. In this initial state, even if the user's hand erroneously hits the partition body 31 and is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 12, it can be returned to the initial state by the spring member 39. This operation is performed irrespective of the rotation angle of the partition 31. Therefore, partition 3
1が回動ざれたまま扉 7が閉じられ、 ガイド部材 9の突部に仕切体の突 起 3 7が衝突して破損することを防止できる。 The door 7 is closed while 1 is turned, and the protrusion 37 of the partition body can be prevented from being damaged by collision with the protrusion of the guide member 9.
次に扉 7を閉じていくと、 やがて仕切体 3 1の突起 3 7が案内溝 1 0 内に進入して案内溝 1 0内の曲面に沿って摺動する。 それに伴い仕切体 Next, when the door 7 is closed, the projection 37 of the partition member 31 enters the guide groove 10 and slides along the curved surface in the guide groove 10. With it
3 1は、 回動軸 3 5を中心にバネ部材 3 9に抗して反時計回りに回動し て、 突起 3 7は案内溝 1 0の奥部に進入して行く。 逆に、 扉 7を開ける 場合は、 突起 3 7が案内溝 1 0内の曲面に沿って摺動する。 そのとき、 仕切体 3 1は、 バネ部材 3 9の復元力によって、 時計回りに回動させら れ、 やがて初期状態に復帰する。 しかしながら、 上記従来の構成においては、 仕切体 3 1が扉 7の縦壁 2 4の外側に取り付けられている。 したがって、 両扉 7, 8の閉扉時に はガスケット 2 9により庫内 3 0の気密性は十分たもたれる。 開扉時に は、 仕切体 3 1が、 縦壁 2 4の外側を回動する。 そのため、 仕切体 3 1 が、 回動するための空間を 7 , 8内に設けなければならない。 つまり 縦壁 2 4 , 2 5を扉の枢支側に移動させなければならない。 このため扉 7 , .8内の食品収納スペースが減少し、 食材収納においては使用者にと つて使い勝手が悪い。 The reference numeral 31 rotates counterclockwise around the rotation shaft 35 against the spring member 39, and the protrusion 37 enters the depth of the guide groove 10. Conversely, when the door 7 is opened, the protrusion 37 slides along the curved surface in the guide groove 10. At that time, the partition body 31 is rotated clockwise by the restoring force of the spring member 39, and eventually returns to the initial state. However, in the above-described conventional configuration, the partition body 31 is attached to the outside of the vertical wall 24 of the door 7. Therefore, when the doors 7 and 8 are closed, the gasket 29 provides sufficient airtightness in the interior 30. When the door is opened, the partition body 31 rotates outside the vertical wall 24. Therefore, the space for the partition 31 to rotate must be provided in 7 and 8. In other words, the vertical walls 24 and 25 must be moved to the pivot side of the door. For this reason, the food storage space inside the doors 7 and .8 is reduced, and it is not easy for the user to store food materials.
また、 扉 7の開閉時、 仕切体 3 1は突起 3 7がガイド部材 9の案内溝 1 0に沿って 9 0度回動して摺動する。 したがって、 突起 3 7と案内溝 1 0の摩擦係数が大きくなる。 よって、 扉 7の開扉力が大きくなり、 扉 開閉においては使用者にとって使い勝手が悪い。 When the door 7 is opened and closed, the partition member 31 slides by rotating the projection 37 by 90 degrees along the guide groove 10 of the guide member 9. Therefore, the friction coefficient between the protrusion 37 and the guide groove 10 increases. Therefore, the door opening force of the door 7 is increased, and the user is inconvenient when opening and closing the door.
さらには、 使用者が扉を閉めたと思っても、 摩擦力とバネ部材 3 9の 反発力により不完全な閉まり方になった場合には、 庫内温度が上昇し食 品鮮度を低下させる可能性がある。 Furthermore, even if the user thinks that the door has been closed, if the door is incompletely closed due to the frictional force and the repulsive force of the spring member 39, the temperature inside the chamber may rise and the freshness of the food may be reduced. There is.
また、 仕切体 3 1は、 完全に庫内 3 0に位置するため扉閉時には庫内 の冷気により冷やされる状態となる。 このため仕切体 3 1内に構成され ている鋼板 3 6も冷却される。 鋼板 3 6は庫外に接しているため結露が 発生することがある。 そのため対応策として仕切体内に発熱源となる部 材 (例えばヒーター) を配接しなければならなくなる。 したがって、 冷 蔵庫の吸熱量が増え、 その消費電力量の増加につながる。 発明の開示 Further, since the partition body 31 is completely located in the interior 30 of the refrigerator, it is cooled by the cool air in the refrigerator when the door is closed. Therefore, the steel plate 36 formed in the partition body 31 is also cooled. Since steel plate 36 is in contact with the outside of the refrigerator, dew condensation may occur. Therefore, as a countermeasure, components (eg, heaters) that generate heat must be connected to the inside of the partition. Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed by the refrigerator increases, which leads to an increase in power consumption. Disclosure of the invention

The grooves 5 6 and 5 7, the fins 5 8 and 5 9, the latches 64 and 65, and the holding members 6 8 and 6 are provided in the recesses 5 la and 52 a of the door side plates 51 and 52. 9 is installed. Here, the fin portions 58, 59 have their tips in contact with the concave portions 51a, 52a.
ラッチ部 64, 6 5は、 傾斜面 6 0, 6 1、 傾斜面 6 2 , 6 3とを有 し、 ガイド部 4 8の突部 49と扉閉塞時に.同一高さに位置する。 保持部 材 6 8, 6 9は、 回動軸 6 6 , 6 7を含んでいる。 The latch portions 64 and 65 have inclined surfaces 60 and 61 and inclined surfaces 62 and 63 and are located at the same height as the projection 49 of the guide portion 48 when the door is closed. The holding members 68, 69 include the rotating shafts 66, 67.
保持部材 6 8, 6 9は、 開口部 44を上下に渡る寸法で延在している。 また、 保持部材 6 8, 6 9は、 回動軸 6 6, 6 7を中心にして、 扉側板 51 , 5 2の凹部 5 1 a, 5 2 a内にて回動自在に支持されている。 さらに、 保持部材 6 8, 6 9は、 回動軸 6 6, 6 7の扉側板 5 1 , 5 2 からの外れ防止用として外れ防止部材 7 0 , 7 1に'て、 固定されている。 外れ防止部材 7 0 , 7 1は、 回動軸 6 6, 6 7の軸受けの役目も兼ねて いる。 The holding members 68 and 69 extend over the opening 44 in a dimension that extends vertically. The holding members 68 and 69 are rotatably supported in the recesses 51 a and 52 a of the door side plates 51 and 52 around the rotation shafts 66 and 67. . Further, the holding members 68, 69 are fixed to the detachment preventing members 70, 71 for preventing the rotation shafts 66, 67 from detaching from the door side plates 51, 52. The detachment prevention members 70 and 71 also serve as bearings for the rotating shafts 66 and 67.

Further, fixed gaskets 73b are attached to the upper and lower sides of the rear surfaces of the doors 46 and 47 and to the vertical sides of the rear surfaces of the doors 46 and 47 on the pivot side. '
回動軸 6 6 , 6 7にはコイルパネから成るパネ部材 74, 7 5が挿通 されている。 バネ部材 74, 7 5は、 一端を側板 5 1 , 5 2に、 又、 他 端を保持部材 6 8, 6 9に、 それぞれ、 接している。 扉 46, 4.7の閉 塞時に、 ヒレ部 5 8, 5 9は、 扉側板 5 1 , 5 2の凹形状の底面に接す ることで庫内 7 6をシールする。 さらに、 可動ガスケット 7 3の袋部 7 2は、 フランジ 5 0と当接することにより、 庫内 7 6をシールする。 以上のように構成された扉装置を镛えた冷蔵庫について、 以下その動 作を説明する。 Panel members 74 and 75 composed of coil panels are inserted through the rotating shafts 66 and 67. The spring members 74 and 75 have one end in contact with the side plates 51 and 52 and the other end in contact with the holding members 68 and 69, respectively. When the doors 46, 4.7 are closed, the fins 58, 59 seal the interior 76 by contacting the concave bottom surfaces of the door side plates 51, 52. In addition, the movable gasket 7 2 seals the inside of the compartment 76 by contacting the flange 50. The operation of the refrigerator provided with the door device configured as described above will be described below.
観音開式扉 4 6, 4 7が、 両方とも閉塞状態にあるときはパネ部材 7 4, 7 5の復元力によって可動ガスケット 7 3の表面は互いに密着状態 となり庫内 7 6をシールする。 さらに、 そのとき、 可動ガスケット 7 3 の袋形状 7 2が、 扉側板 5 1 , 5 2のフランジ 5 0と当接することによ り、 庫内 7 6の冷気が扉側板 5 1 , 5 2と保持部材 6 8 , 6 9の間に侵 入した状態においても、 ·庫内 7 6をシールすることができる。 When the double doors 46 and 47 are both closed, the restoring force of the panel members 74 and 75 brings the surfaces of the movable gasket 73 into close contact with each other and seals the interior 76. Further, at this time, the bag shape 72 of the movable gasket 73 is brought into contact with the flange 50 of the door side plates 51, 52, so that the cool air in the compartment 76 is cooled by the door side plates 51, 52. Even in the state of invading between the holding members 68 and 69, the inside of the warehouse 76 can be sealed.
また、 可 ¾)ガスケット 7 3内に内蔵された異極同士のマグネット 7 3 aの接合により可動ガスケット 7 3は互いに吸着状態となる。 したがつ て、 庫内 7 6のシールの確実さをを高めることができる。 また、 保持部 材 6 8, 6 9に設けられたヒレ部 5 8 , 5 9によって、 庫内 7 6の冷気 が、 扉側板 5 1, 5 2と保持部材 6 8 , 6 9の間に侵入した状態におい ても、 庫内 7 6をシールすることができる。 Further, the movable gasket 73 is attracted to each other by joining the magnets 73 a of different poles built in the gasket 73. Therefore, it is possible to increase the reliability of the seal in the warehouse 76. The fins 58, 59 provided on the holding members 68, 69 allow cool air in the compartment 76 to enter between the door side plates 51, 52 and the holding members 68, 69. Even in this state, the interior of the warehouse 76 can be sealed.
次に、 扉 4 7を開けていくと、 やがて保持部材 6 9は、 ラッチ部 6 5 の傾斜面 6 3がガイド部 4 8の突部 4 9に沿った動作を行う。 したがつ て、 は、 保持部材 6 9は、 回動軸 6 7を支点にして矢印 2 0 0のごとく 回動する。 これにより、 可動ガスケット 7 3は互いの密着状態が強制的 に解除される。 したがって、 扉を開く時に、 可動ガスケット 7 3の表面 が、 互いにこすれることがない。 こうして、 ガスケットの耐久強度が向 上する。 また、 ガスケット表面がこすれて静電気が発生し汚れが、 ガス ケット表面に付着することもない。 また、 ガスケットのこすれによる摩 擦音の発生もなくなる。 さらには、 扉開放力を低減することができるの で、 使用者の使い勝手の向上す そしてさらに扉 4 7を開けていくとバ ネ^材 7 5の復元力によって傾斜面 6 1がガイド部 4 8の突部 4 9に沿 つた動作を行う。,したがって、 回動軸 6 7を支点にして、 保持部材 6 9 は、 扉閉塞状態と同じ状態に復帰する。 これにより扉側板 5 2と保持部 材 6 9の間に異物が入り込む事がなくなる。 これは扉閉塞状態において も同様である。 Next, when the door 47 is opened, the holding member 69 eventually moves along the projection 49 of the guide 48 with the inclined surface 63 of the latch 65. Therefore, the holding member 69 rotates about the rotation shaft 67 as a fulcrum as shown by the arrow 200. Thereby, the movable gasket 73 is forcibly released from the close contact state with each other. Therefore, when the door is opened, the surfaces of the movable gaskets 73 do not rub against each other. Thus, the durability of the gasket is improved. In addition, the gasket surface is not rubbed, generating static electricity and dirt does not adhere to the gasket surface. Also, the generation of abrasion noise due to the rubbing of the gasket is eliminated. Furthermore, since the door opening force can be reduced, the usability of the user is improved. Due to the restoring force of the thread member 75, the inclined surface 61 moves along the projection 49 of the guide portion 48. Therefore, the holding member 69 returns to the same state as the door closed state with the rotation shaft 67 as a fulcrum. This prevents foreign matter from entering between the door side plate 52 and the holding member 69. This is the same even when the door is closed.
次に、 扉 4 7を閉めていくと、 傾斜面 6 1 と傾斜面 6 3が、 ガイ ド部 4 8の突部 4 9に沿った動作を行う。 したが.つて、 扉を開けていく状態 と同一の動作を行い、 同一の効果が得られる。 Next, when the door 47 is closed, the inclined surface 61 and the inclined surface 63 move along the projection 49 of the guide portion 48. Therefore, the same operation as when the door is opened is performed, and the same effect is obtained.
また、 扉が閉塞状態、 開放状態の両状態時において回動軸 6 6 , 6 7 は外れ防止部材 7 0 , 7 1によって固定されている。 これにより、 パネ 部材 7 4, 7 5の復元力により、 保持部材 6 8、 6 9が扉側板 5 1、 5 2から外れることなく安定しスムーズな回動が得られる。 In addition, when the door is in both the closed state and the open state, the rotating shafts 66, 67 are fixed by the detachment preventing members 70, 71. Thereby, the holding members 68, 69 are stabilized by the restoring force of the panel members 74, 75 without coming off from the door side plates 51, 52, and smooth rotation can be obtained.

Thus, in this door device, the sealing effect cooperates with the reduction of the amount of heat absorbed into the storage room 44a, thereby reducing the power consumption of the refrigerator.
また、 以上の構成を片側の扉のみに設けた場合は、 可動ガスケット 7 3が回動するために必要な構成部品が半減する。 したがって、 冷蔵庫の 組み立て性が向上し、 その材料費の低減する。 If the above configuration is provided only on one side of the door, the number of components required for rotating the movable gasket 73 is reduced by half. Therefore, the assemblability of the refrigerator is improved, and the material cost is reduced.
以上の構成、 動作により従来、 扉間に設けられていた仕切体を廃止す ることができる。 それにより貯蔵室 4 4 a内の食品収納スペース、 特に 扉裏面の扉収納部 5 3 a , 5 4 aの収納スペースが増大し使用者の使い 勝手が向上する。 また、 ラッチ部 6 5に対するガイ ド部 4 8.は、 貯蔵室 4 4 a内の上面 に設けられている。 したがって、 ガイド部 4 8は、 貯蔵室 4 4 a内への 物品の出し入れの邪魔にならず、 貯蔵室の収納能力に影響を及ぼすこと がない。 With the above configuration and operation, the partition body conventionally provided between the doors can be eliminated. As a result, the food storage space in the storage room 44a, particularly the storage space of the door storage sections 53a and 54a on the back of the door, is increased, and the usability of the user is improved. Further, a guide portion 48 for the latch portion 65 is provided on the upper surface in the storage room 44a.

Seal. In addition, the movable gasket 103 comes into close contact with each other due to the joining of the magnets built in the movable gasket 103. Therefore, the movable gasket 103 seals the inside 106 of the refrigerator. The fins 94, 95 provided in the doors 100, 101 provide cold air in the compartment 106 between the door side plates 87, 88 and the grooves 92, 93. Even in the intruded state, the inside of the compartment 106 is sealed.
次に、 扉 8 4をハンドル 1 0 1に手を掛けながら開けていくと、 ハン ドル 1 0 1が回動軸 9 9を支点にして矢印 2 2 0のごとく回動する。 こ れにより可動ガスケット 1 0 3は、 互いの密着状態が強制的に解除され る。 したがって、 扉開時において、 可動ガスケット 1 0 3の表面が、 互 いにこすれることがなくなり、 ガスケットの耐久強度が向上する。 また、 ガスケット表面がこすれて静電気が発生し汚れが付着することも無い。 また、 ガスケット表面のこすれによる摩擦音の発生もない。 さらには、 扉開放力を低減することができ、 使用者の使い勝手が向上する。 Next, when the door 84 is opened while the hand is put on the handle 101, the handle 101 rotates as indicated by an arrow 220 with the rotation shaft 99 as a fulcrum. As a result, the movable gaskets 103 are forcibly released from close contact with each other. Therefore, when the door is opened, the surfaces of the movable gaskets 103 do not rub against each other, and the durability of the gasket is improved. In addition, the gasket surface is not rubbed and static electricity is generated, so that no dirt is attached. In addition, there is no generation of friction noise due to rubbing of the gasket surface. Further, the door opening force can be reduced, and the usability of the user is improved.
さらに、 扉 8 4を開けたのち、 ハンドル 1 0 1から手を放すと、 ノ ネ 部材 1 0 5の復元力によって、 ハンドル 1 0 1は、 回動軸 9 9を支点に して回動して、 扉閉塞状態と同じ状態に復帰する。 こうして、 扉側板 8 8とハンドル 1 0 1の間に異物が入り込む事が無くなる。 これは扉閉塞 状態においても同様である。 After the door 84 is opened, the handle 101 is released from the handle 101, and the restoring force of the None member 105 causes the handle 101 to rotate about the rotation axis 99 as a fulcrum. To return to the same state as the door closed state. Thus, no foreign matter enters between the door side plate 88 and the handle 101. This is the same when the door is closed.
次に、 扉 8 4を閉めていくと、 多くの場合、 可動ガスケット 1 0 3内 の磁石 1 0 2は、 最初に同極同士が向かい合う。 そうすると、 磁石 1 0 2は反発し合うため、 可動ガスケッ ト 1 0 3も反発しあう。 これにより 可動ガスケット 1 0 3の表面が互いにこすれることがなくなり、 扉を開 く時と同等の効果が得られる。 さらに扉 8 4を閉めていくと、 可動ガス ケット 1 0 3内のマグネット 1 0 2は異極同士が向かい合うので互いに 吸着を始める。 最終的には、 異極同士が、 近接して、 吸着するので、 可 動ガスケット 1 0 3は密着状態を確保する。 Next, when the door 84 is closed, in many cases, the magnets 102 in the movable gasket 103 face the same poles first. Then, since the magnets 102 repel each other, the movable gasket 103 also repels. This prevents the surfaces of the movable gasket 103 from rubbing against each other and opens the door. The same effect can be obtained. When the door 84 is further closed, the magnets 102 in the movable gasket 103 start attracting each other because the different poles face each other. Eventually, the different electrodes come close to each other and adsorb, so that the movable gasket 103 maintains a close contact state.
以上の構成、 動作により、 ハンドル 1 0 1を軽い力で操作するだけで 可動ガスケット 1 0 3の密着状態を解除して扉 8 3, 8 4を開放するこ とができる。 したがって、 使用者の扉操作が極めて楽になる。 With the above configuration and operation, it is possible to release the close contact of the movable gasket 103 and open the doors 83 and 84 simply by operating the handle 101 with a small force. Therefore, the door operation of the user becomes extremely easy.
