  Next, the shielding member for closing the upper and lower gaps B and C shown in FIG. 2 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 5, which is an enlarged view of part E in FIG. 4, a partition-side upper packing 37 is attached to the refrigerating chamber 5 side of the upper part of the partition body 29. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the partition-side upper packing 37 includes an engagement portion 37a as an attachment portion made of hard polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and a packing body 37b as a seal portion made of soft polyvinyl chloride. These are integrated by two-color molding. In addition, the engaging part 37a should just be a hard resin material, and the packing main body 37b should just be a soft resin material, and all are not restricted to a polyvinyl chloride. The engaging portion 37a and the packing body 37b may be made of the same material. The partition-side upper packing 37 constitutes a shielding member that covers the above-described upper gap B shown in FIG. 2 on the refrigerator compartment 5 side of the rotary partition 27.

  The engaging portion 37a includes an end wall 37a1 to which the packing body 37b is joined, and an upper wall 37a2 and a lower wall 37a3 that are substantially perpendicular to the upper and lower ends of the end wall 37a1. Engaging claws 37a4 and 37a5 projecting in opposite directions are formed at the tips of the upper wall 37a2 and the lower wall 37a3. The engaging portion 37a includes an engaging recess 37a6 that opens on the opposite side to the end wall 37a1. The engaging portion 37a is formed long in the direction orthogonal to the paper surface in FIG. 5, and is formed slightly shorter than the width of the partition body 29 as shown in FIG. The packing body 37b has a rectangular shape that is long in the longitudinal direction of the engaging portion 37a, and the length in the longitudinal direction is equal to the length in the longitudinal direction of the engaging portion 37a.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, an engagement convex portion 29 b having a substantially T-shaped cross section is formed on the refrigerator compartment 5 side of the upper portion of the partition body 29 with the open / close door 15 closed. The partition-side upper packing 37 is attached to the partition body 29 by engaging the engagement recess 37a6 of the partition-side upper packing 37 with the engagement convex portion 29b. The packing body 37b projects from the end wall 37a1 of the engaging portion 37a toward the vicinity of the rear portion of the guide member 35 diagonally right above in FIG. 5 with the open / close door 15 closed.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the vicinity of the rear portion of the guide member 35, a shielding projection 35b as a shielding member protruding downward is provided. Therefore, the packing main body 37b protrudes toward the shielding protrusion 35b with the open / close door 15 being closed. The shielding protrusion 35b includes a front inclined surface 35b1, a lower surface 35b2 extending rearward from the lower end of the front inclined surface 35b1, and a rear inclined surface 35b3 inclined slightly upward from the rear end of the lower surface 35b2. Is provided. The shielding projection 35b projects toward the vicinity of the boundary between the front inclined surface 35b1 and the lower surface 35b2 with the open / close door 15 closed.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the vertical position of the lower surface 35 b 2 of the shielding projection 35 b is above the tip of the packing body 37 b and below the upper surface 29 c of the partition body 29. That is, the lower surface 35 b 2 is located between the packing body 37 b and the upper surface 29 c of the partition body 29 with respect to the vertical position. With the open / close door 15 closed, the shielding protrusion 35b is located behind the packing body 37b (on the right side in FIG. 5), and the packing body 37b and the shielding protrusion 35b are separated from each other. The packing main body 37b and the shielding protrusion 35b may be in contact with each other. Since the packing main body 37b is separated from the shielding protrusion 35b, the deterioration can be suppressed as compared with the case where the packing main body 37b contacts.

  The guide member 35 is longer in the left-right direction than the rotary partition 27, which has a substantially left half shown by a broken line, as shown by a broken line in FIG. 2, and is viewed from the front of FIG. The left and right sides of the rotary partition 27 protrude in the left-right direction. The shielding protrusion 35b is provided over substantially the entire length of the guide member 35 in the left-right direction (the direction orthogonal to the paper surface in FIG. 5). Therefore, the length in the left-right direction of the shielding protrusion 35 b is longer than the length in the left-right direction of the partition-side upper packing 37.

  As shown in FIG. 6, which is an enlarged view of the F part in FIG. 4, a partition side lower packing 39 is attached to the refrigerating chamber 5 side of the lower part of the partition body 29. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the partition side lower packing 39 includes an engaging portion 39a as a mounting portion made of hard polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and a packing body 39b made of soft polyvinyl chloride. Are integrated by two-color molding. In addition, the engaging part 39a should just be a hard resin material, and the packing main body 39b should just be a soft resin material, and all are not restricted to a polyvinyl chloride. The partition-side lower packing 39 constitutes a shielding member that covers the lower gap C shown in FIG. 2 described above on the refrigerating chamber 5 side of the rotary partition 27.

  The engaging portion 39a includes an upper wall 39a1, a lower wall 39a2, and an end wall 39a3 that connects one ends of the upper wall 39a1 and the lower wall 39a2. The vicinity of the end wall 39a3 side of the lower wall 39a2 is curved, and the packing main body 39b is joined to the end wall 39a3 side of the curved portion. An engagement protrusion 39a4 is provided on the inner surface of the lower wall 39a2 on the distal end side.

  The engagement portion 39a is provided with an engagement recess 39a5 that is open on the side opposite to the end wall 39a3. The engaging portion 39a is formed long in the direction orthogonal to the paper surface in FIG. 6, and is formed slightly shorter than the width of the partition body 29 as shown in FIG. The packing body 39b has a rectangular shape that is long in the longitudinal direction of the engaging portion 39a, and the length in the longitudinal direction is equal to the length in the longitudinal direction of the engaging portion 39a.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 9, an engaging claw 29 d that protrudes downward is formed at the tip of the refrigerator body 5 on the lower side of the partition body 29 with the open / close door 15 closed. . The partition side lower packing 39 is attached to the partition body main body 29 by inserting the engagement claw 29d into the engagement recess 39a5 of the partition side lower packing 39 and engaging with the engagement protrusion 39a4. At this time, the upper wall 39a1 of the partition member-side lower packing 39 is inserted into the recess 29e formed in the partition body 29.

  The packing main body 39b is in a state of projecting from the engaging portion 39a toward the bottom surface 50 in the refrigerating chamber 5 diagonally downward to the right in FIG. 6 with the open / close door 15 closed. At this time, the tip of the packing body 39b comes into contact with the bottom surface 50 and elastically deforms. Note that the packing body 39b and the bottom surface 50 may be spaced apart from each other as long as the gap between them is small.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the partition-side upper packing 37 and the partition-side lower packing 39 are attached to the same side surface of the rotary partition 27, the partition-side upper packing 37 is located at the top, and the partition-side lower packing 39 is Located at the bottom. The partition body side upper packing 37 has a packing body 37 b protruding obliquely upward, and the partition body side lower packing 39 has a packing body 39 b protruding obliquely downward opposite to the partition body side upper packing 37.

  Next, the function and effect of the first embodiment will be described.

  1st Embodiment is one of the refrigerator main body 3 provided with the refrigerator compartment 5 inside, the door-opening type opening-and-closing doors 15 and 17 of opening and closing the front opening part of the refrigerator main body 3, and the doors 15 and 17 And a rotary partition 27 that is provided so as to be rotatable about the vertical direction of the open / close door 15 and closes the door gap A between the open / close doors 15 and 17 when the open / close doors 15 and 17 are closed. .

  With the rotary partition 27 closing the door gap A, the partition-side upper packing 37 and the partition-side lower packing 39 that cover the gaps B and C between the upper and lower parts of the rotary partition 27 and the refrigerator body 3 are respectively provided. The rotary partition 27 is provided on the refrigerator compartment 5 side. Further, the guide member 35 on the refrigerator body 3 side is provided with a shielding protrusion 35b that protrudes downward.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 1, in the state where the left and right open / close doors 15, 17 are closed, a substantially entire region in the vertical direction of the door gap A between the open / close doors 15, 17 is blocked by the rotary partition 27. At this time, gaps B and C shown in FIG. 2 are formed between the upper and lower portions of the rotary partition 27 and the refrigerator main body 3 in order to prevent interference during opening and closing. However, the partition-side upper packing 37 and the shielding protrusion 35b suppress the entry of the cold air in the refrigerator compartment 5 into the gap B, and the divider-side lower packing 39 suppresses the entry of the cold air in the refrigerator compartment 5 into the gap C. To do.

  An electric heater 41 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is built in the front side of the rotary partition 27 with the open / close doors 15 and 17 closed. The electric heater 41 is for preventing condensation around the contact portion between the gaskets 16 and 18 of the doors 15 and 17 shown in FIG.

  At this time, in this embodiment, since the cold air in the refrigerator compartment 5 is prevented from entering the gaps B and C, the cold air can be prevented from entering the gaskets 16 and 18, and the gaskets 16 and 18 are cooled by the cold air. Cooling can be suppressed. Thereby, the electric heater 41 can suppress power consumption low compared with the case where the gaskets 16 and 18 are cooled by cold air. When the gaskets 16 and 18 are cooled by cold air, the power consumption increases in order to increase the heater temperature.

  In the present embodiment, the partition-side upper packing 37 includes an engaging portion 37a made of a hard resin attached to the rotary partition 27, and a packing body 37b made of a soft resin integrated with the engaging portion 37a. Similarly, the partition-side lower packing 39 has an engaging portion 39a made of hard resin attached to the rotary partition 27, and a packing body 39b made of soft resin integrated with the engaging portion 39a.

  In this case, even if the packing main bodies 37b and 39b are in contact with the refrigerator main body 3 to enhance the sealing performance when the open / close door 15 including the rotary partition 27 is closed, the packing main bodies 37b and 39b are in contact with each other. Elastically deform while maintaining the state. Since the packing bodies 37b and 39b are elastically deformed, the opening / closing door 15 is smoothly opened and closed, and the rubbing sound when the packing bodies 37b and 39b come into contact with the refrigerator body 3 can be further suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, a shielding protrusion 35b of the guide member 35 is provided on the lower surface of the upper part of the refrigerator compartment 5 of the refrigerator body 3 so as to protrude downward. In this case, the entrance to the gaskets 16 and 18 can be suppressed by suppressing the entry of the cold air in the refrigerator compartment 5 into the gap B by the shielding protrusion 35b.

  In the present embodiment, a guide member 35 serving as a guide when the rotary partition 27 rotates is provided in the upper part of the refrigerator compartment 5, and the shielding projection 35 b is provided on the guide member 35 so as to protrude downward. ing. In this case, the shielding protrusion 35b can be provided using the guide member 35, and the shape change of the refrigerator main body 3 becomes unnecessary, and the refrigerator main body 3 can employ an existing structure.

  FIG. 12 shows a modification of the partition side lower packing 39 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. The partition side lower packing 39A shown in FIG. 12 has a plurality of slits 39b1 formed in the packing main body 39b from the tip of the packing main body 39b toward the engaging portion 39a. That is, the packing body 39b is provided with an easily deformable portion by forming the slit 39b1.

  Thereby, in the operation | movement which opens and closes the opening-and-closing door 15, it becomes easy to deform | transform when the packing main body 39b contacts the refrigerator main body 3, and can reduce the rub sound when the packing main body 39b contacts the refrigerator main body 3 more. . At that time, the easily deformable portion can be formed with a simple configuration in which the slit 39b1 is formed in the packing body 39b.

  FIG. 13 shows another modification of the partition side lower packing 39 shown in FIGS. The partition-side lower packing 39B shown in FIG. 13 forms irregularities with the packing main body 39b having a wave shape between the tip of the packing main body 39b and the engaging portion 39a. That is, the packing body 39b is provided with an easily deformable portion by forming irregularities.

  Thereby, in the operation | movement which opens and closes the opening-and-closing door 15, it becomes easy to deform | transform when the packing main body 39b contacts the refrigerator main body 3, and can reduce the rub sound when the packing main body 39b contacts the refrigerator main body 3 more. . In that case, by forming an easily deformable part by the unevenness in the packing body 39b, it is possible to suppress cold air leakage as compared with the case of forming a slit as shown in FIG.

  FIGS. 14 and 15 show yet another example of the partition side lower packings 39C and 39D. The partition side lower packings 39C and 39D are different from the partition side lower packings 39, 39A and 39B in particular in the shape of the engaging portion 39a. In accordance with the shape of the engaging portion 39a, the engaging shape with the engaging portion 39a on the rotating partition 27 side is appropriately changed. Thus, the shape of the engaging portion 39a is not particularly limited, and may be a shape other than the above.

  FIG. 16 shows a shielding projection 35bA that extends downward from the shielding projection 35b shown in FIG. In the shielding protrusion 35bA, the vertical position of the lower surface 35b2 is lower than the tip of the packing body 37b of the partition-side upper packing 37. That is, the front end side of the shielding protrusion 35b as the main body side shielding member and the packing main body 37b as the partition side shielding member overlap each other in the vertical direction.

  The shielding projection 35bA has a front inclined surface 35b1 that is steeper than the front inclined surface 35b1 of FIG. 5 and is substantially along the vertical direction. The packing main body 37b faces the front inclined surface 35b1. It protrudes. In the shielding protrusion 35bA, the rear inclined surface 35b3 is along a substantially vertical direction, and a concave curved surface 35b4 is formed in the upper part.

  The embodiment shown in FIG. 16 has a partition-side upper packing 37 provided on the rotary partition 27 and a shielding protrusion 35bA provided on the refrigerator body 3 side as a shielding member. The protrusions 35bA are overlapped with each other in the vertical direction at the respective leading ends. For this reason, the approach suppression effect to the clearance gap B of the cold air in the refrigerator compartment 5 further increases. Since the packing main body 37b is separated from the shielding protrusion 35b, the deterioration can be suppressed as compared with the case where the packing main body 37b contacts.

  17 uses a partition-side upper packing 37A obtained by extending the packing body 37b with respect to the partition-side upper packing 37 shown in FIG. The tip of the packing body 37b of the partitioning body side upper packing 37A is in contact with the front inclined surface 35b1 of the shielding projection 35bA. For this reason, the airtightness with respect to the clearance gap B improves, and the approach to the clearance gap B of the cold air in the refrigerator compartment 5 can be suppressed more reliably.

  In FIG. 18, a lower shielding protrusion 50 a is formed on the bottom surface 50 of the lower part of the refrigerator compartment 5 so as to protrude upward. The lower shielding protrusion 50a is located in the vicinity of the back side of the refrigerator compartment 5 with respect to the partition-side lower packing 39, and the length in the left-right direction (the direction orthogonal to the paper surface in FIG. 18) is the partition-side lower packing 39. Equivalent or slightly longer. In this case, by providing the lower shielding protrusion 50a in addition to the partition-side lower packing 39, it becomes difficult for cold air in the refrigerator compartment 5 to enter through the gap C, and cold air leakage can be more reliably suppressed.

  In addition, when providing the lower shielding protrusion 50a of FIG. 18, the front-end | tip of the partition side lower packing 39 does not need to contact the bottom face 50 of the refrigerator compartment 5. FIG. In this case, it is only necessary that the tip (upper end) of the partition-side lower packing 39 and the tip (lower end) of the lower shielding protrusion 50a overlap each other in the vertical direction.

  19 and 20 show an example in which a rectangular and flat movable shield member 43 is provided on the bottom surface 50 of the refrigerator compartment 5. On the bottom surface 50, a recess 50b into which the movable shielding member 43 enters is formed. The movable shielding member 43 is rotatable with respect to the refrigerator main body 3 around a rotation support pin 45 located on the refrigerator back side of the recess 50b. 19 and 20 show a state in which the open / close door 15 including the rotating partition 27 is closed. At this time, the attracting member 47 made of a permanent magnet provided at the lower portion of the rotating partition 27 is made of a magnetic material. The vicinity of the tip of the movable shielding member 43 is adsorbed.

  When the open / close door 15 is opened from the state of FIGS. 19 and 20, the movable shielding member 43 is released from the suction by the suction member 47 and enters the recess 50 b by its own weight as shown in FIG. 21. Conversely, when the open / close door 15 is closed from the state of FIG. 21, the movable shielding member 43 is sucked by the suction member 47 and the tip side moves upward, and is sucked by the suction member 47 as shown in FIGS. . In this state, the movable shielding member 43 covers the lower gap C.

  The example shown in FIGS. 19-21 has the non-shielding position (FIG. 21) in which the movable shielding member 43 forms the substantially the same surface as the upper surface (bottom surface 50) of the bottom part in the bottom part of the refrigerator compartment 5 of the refrigerator main body 3. It can move between the non-shielding position and the shielding position (FIGS. 19 and 20) covering the gap C by partially protruding upward. An adsorbing member 47 that can be adsorbed by magnetic force to the movable shielding member 43 is provided in the rotary partition 27, and when the open / close door 15 including the rotary partition 27 is closed, the movable shielding member 43 in the non-shielding position is By being attracted to and attracted to the attracting member 47, it becomes a shielding position.

  In this case, the movable shielding member 43 at the shielding position shown in FIGS. 19 and 20 can prevent the cold air inside the refrigerator compartment 5 from entering the gap C, and the gaskets 16 and 18 can be prevented from being cooled by the cold air. . The movable shielding member 43 in the non-shielding position in FIG. 21 enters and is stored in the recess 50 b and is substantially flush with the bottom surface 50 of the refrigerator compartment 5. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the movable shielding member 43 from interfering when the open / close door 15 is opened and stored items are taken in and out of the refrigerator compartment 5.

  The movable shielding member 43 may be a permanent magnet, the attracting member 47 may be a magnetic body, and both the movable shielding member 43 and the attracting member 47 may be permanent magnets.
