Refrigerator

Abstract

The invention provides a refrigerator whose outer box is firm without reducing the inner volume. The refrigerator has an outer box (1) with a top plate (1c) and two side plates (1a, 1b), a front plate (3) located at the lower ends of the front sides of the two side plates and arranged in a way of connecting the two side plates, reinforcing components (2a, 2b) arranged along respective lower sides of the two side plates and used for reinforcing the outer box, and a heat radiating conduit (4) in which cooling agents flow. In a position of a lower corner of the front side of the outer box, at least the front plate and the reinforcing components are fixed by a bolt (9), the heat radiating conduit is arranged in the inner side of the outer box along the side plates and the front plate, at least three positions of the heat radiation conduit are bent to form a bending portion (25), and the bending portion is used to prevent mutual interference with the bolt.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a refrigerator, especially a refrigerator suitable for improving the rigidity of an outer box. Background technique [0002] In recent years, household refrigerators tend to increase in size, and in order to cope with the increase in size, it is required to increase the rigidity of the heat-insulating box constituting the exterior of the refrigerator. In order to meet this requirement, for example, the following proposals are made in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 05-60454). [0003] That is, in the refrigerator described in Patent Document 1, the bottom plate can be screwed on the reinforcing angle iron without using the reinforcing plate, and in order to facilitate the screwing of the bottom plate, reinforcing angle irons are provided at the lower parts of the left and right sides of the outer box, The reinforcement is cut on the angle iron to form a positioning part. In view of this, a triangu...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in Patent Document 1, since the structure of the reinforcing angle iron and the bottom plate is relatively complicated and the manufacturing cost is increased, there is still room for improvement.

In particular, in Patent Document 1, there is a problem that in order to fix the side panels of the outer box and the angle irons for reinforcement on the front side of the refrigerator, additional fixing work such as pressure welding or screwing is required, which increases the manufacturing cost.
