Abstract

PURPOSE:To steadily accommodate bottles and prevent the bottles from abutting against one another even by a reaction in opening or closing a door by providing a bottle container with mounting holes at specific pitches in the approximately central portions of both side wall surfaces of the bottle container and inserting and fixing claws on the upper end portions of a bottle stopper. CONSTITUTION:Mounting holes 7a for positioning bottle stoppers 10 are provided in the approximately central portions of both side wall surfaces of a bottle container 7 at approximately 15-20mm pitches so that the claws 10a on both ends of the upper portion of the bottle stoppers 10 are inserted and fixed. Therefore, the bottle stoppers 10 can be set in accordance with the sizes and the configurations of the bottles accommodated in the bottle container 7. Thus, the bottles can be prevented from falling down or being broken by collision between the bottles regardless of the magnitude of a force required for pulling out the door 6 of a bottle chamber. Further, in cooling the inside of the bottle container 7, an unevenness in a temperature in the container 7 can be reduced and the temperature in the container 7 can be controlled to a desired value by adopting an exclusive cold air duct 9.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a bottle compartment refrigerator for storing bottles.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional structures of this type simply allow stoppers to be moved to different parts of the container, and when cooling the inside of the container, cold air is guided around the container to simply cool the container. .

Incidentally, related devices of this type include, for example, Utility Model Application No. 61-60084.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

With the above conventional structure, no consideration has been given to the position of the bottle stopper and the method of cooling the stored items, depending on the size and shape of the bottles stored in the bottle container.
For example, depending on the drawer operation of the bottle chamber door, there has been a problem that the bottles inside the bottle may fall over or the bottles may collide with each other and break. In addition, when cooling bottles, with conventional methods, the back of the container inevitably gets too cold, and in some cases, it freezes locally, and the things in the front don't cool as expected. There was a problem.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and when various types of bottles are stored in a bottle container, even if the bottles have different sizes and shapes, almost no problem occurs. In addition to reducing rattling and making it easier to store bottles,
The position and shape of the bottle stopper have been carefully selected to prevent bottles from colliding with each other and breaking even if the bottle moves in the direction of the door drawer. In addition, when cooling the contents in the bottle, cold air is introduced from the top opening of the bottle to eliminate unevenness in cooling temperature both at the back and the front of the bottle.

[Effect]

That is, approximately at the center of both side walls of the bottle container.

The mounting for positioning the bottle stopper is done by providing holes so that the claws at both ends of the top of the bottle stopper can be inserted and fixed at intervals of about 15 to 20 mm, so that the size and shape of the bottles, etc. to be stored in the bottle container can be adjusted. Since the bottle stopper can be set accordingly, it is possible to prevent bottles from falling or colliding with each other and breaking, regardless of the amount of force applied when the bottle chamber door is pulled out. Furthermore, by arranging a plurality of bottle stoppers depending on the size of the bottle container, it is possible to more reliably prevent bottles from falling over and breaking. Furthermore, by employing a dedicated cold air duct for cooling the inside of the bottle container, temperature unevenness inside the container can be reduced and the temperature can be controlled to a desired temperature.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. 1 is the refrigerator body, and from the top, the freezer compartment 2. Refrigerator room 3
．． Vegetable room 4. A bottle compartment 5 is arranged next to the vegetable compartment 4. Reference numeral 6 denotes a door that closes the front opening of the bottle chamber 5, to which a bottle container 7 is attached and detachably attached. 8 is a temperature controller (not shown) installed in the refrigerator compartment 3, and the vegetable compartment 4. A cold air duct is used to cool the inside of the bottle chamber 5, and a part of the cold air duct 8 is connected to the bottle chamber and the cold air duct 9.

The bottle chamber cold air duct 9 is located at the upper opening surface of the bottle container 7, and is provided with a plurality of cold air discharge ports 9a as shown in FIG. Numeral 10 is a bottle stopper, which prevents the bottles stored in the bottle container 7 from falling over and bottles colliding with each other and breaking due to the reaction when the door is opened and closed. Depending on the situation, a plurality of them are arranged. In addition, the bottle stopper 1
0 has claws 10a at both ends of the upper part of the bottle container 7, and attachments provided approximately in the center of both side wall surfaces of the bottle container 7 at intervals of about 15 to 20 mm are inserted into holes 7a and fixed. In addition, the claws 10a of the bottle stopper 10 are made up of a plurality of claws, as shown in FIG. 3, so that the bottle stopper 10 does not tilt during installation, and all the claws are firmly attached to the bottle container. It is designed to be installed in a hole. Furthermore, the bottom end of the bottle stopper 10a.

It has a height close to the bottom of the bottle container 7, and prevents bottles from colliding with each other and breaking due to the reaction when the door is opened and closed.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention configured as described above, even if various bottles are stored in the bottle container, the bottle stopper can be placed at a position that matches the size of the bottles, so the bottles will not fall over. Moreover, since multiple bottle stoppers are provided, bottles can be stored securely without being restricted by size or shape. Furthermore, since the bottles do not collide with each other due to the reaction when the door is opened or closed, there is no fear of them breaking.

Furthermore, since the bottle chamber cold air duct is arranged at the top opening of the bottle container, the storage area inside the bottle container is cooled to maintain an even temperature.

It can be cooled to a desired temperature.
