DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0007] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same or corresponding parts are designated by the same reference characters and description thereof will not be repeated.

[0008] [First embodiment] A configuration of the refrigerator 100 according to the first embodiment will be described. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the refrigerator 100 according to the first embodiment with the door 40 closed. Fig. 2 is a partially cutaway front view of the refrigerator 100 according to the first embodiment with the door 40 open. In the following, when the refrigerator 100 is installed so that it can be used (hereinafter referred to as "used state"), the side on which the door 40 is provided may be referred to as the "front", the side opposite the door 40 as the "rear", the right as viewed from a user standing facing the door 40 as the "right", the left as the "left", the left-right direction as the "width direction", and the front-rear direction as the "depth direction".

[0009] Refrigerator 100 includes a housing 110 and a bottom plate 120. Bottom plate 120 is attached to housing 110. When refrigerator 100 is placed on a floor surface, bottom plate 120 faces the floor surface. Bottom plate 120 can be made of, for example, a steel plate having a portion processed into a concave or convex shape.

[0010] The housing 110 includes a top plate 111, a rear plate 112, and side plates 113a and 113b. The top plate 111 is substantially parallel to a bottom plate 120. The side plates 113a, 113b, and the rear plate 112 are disposed between the top plate 111 and the bottom plate 120 in the up-down direction. The side plates 113a and 113b face each other in the width direction.

[0011] The housing 110 further includes a refrigeration chamber 10 and a door 40. The refrigeration chamber 10 opens forward. In detail, the refrigeration chamber 10 is partitioned by walls and partitions within the housing 110, thereby defining a storage space 14. The front end of the storage space 14 is an opening 13 that opens forward. In the refrigeration chamber 10, an object OB stored in the storage space 14 is cooled to a temperature equal to or higher than 0° C. and lower than room temperature. In FIGS. 1 and 2, one refrigeration chamber 10 is illustrated. The refrigerator 100 may include one refrigeration chamber 10 or multiple refrigeration chambers.

[0012] The door 40 opens and closes the opening 13. The door 40 is provided rotatably on the right side of the opening 13 on the peripheral edge of the refrigerating compartment 10.

[0013] The housing 110 may include a freezer compartment 20 and a door 41. The freezer compartment 20 is disposed below the refrigerator compartment 10. The freezer compartment 20 opens forward. In detail, the freezer compartment 20 is partitioned by walls and partitions within the housing 110, thereby defining a storage space. In the freezer compartment 20, an object stored in the storage space is cooled to below 0°C. In Figs. 1 and 2, one freezer compartment 20 is illustrated. The number of freezer compartments 20 included in the refrigerator 100 is not limited to one, and may be multiple. The freezer compartment 20 may be disposed above the refrigerator compartment 10. Note that a room that is cooled to a temperature lower than the outside air temperature of the refrigerator, such as a refrigerator compartment or a cooling compartment, may be collectively referred to as a cooling compartment.

[0014] The door 41 is provided so as to be able to open and close the opening of the freezer compartment 20 .

[0015] The refrigerator 100 is not limited to a configuration including the refrigerator compartment 10 and the freezer compartment 20. The refrigerator 100 may include only the refrigerator compartment 10, or may include only the freezer compartment 20. The refrigerator compartment 10 may include, for example, a chilled compartment or a partial compartment. The refrigerator 100 may be a home refrigerator or a commercial showcase.

[0016] The first machine chamber 80 and the second machine chamber 90 will be described in detail. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the first machine chamber 80 seen from above the rear side. As shown in Fig. 1, the housing 110 further includes the first machine chamber 80 and the second machine chamber 90.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 3, the first machine room 80 is formed at the bottom of the rear side of the refrigerator 100. The first machine room 80 is formed continuously from the side plate 113a to the side plate 113b. The first machine room 80 opens toward the rear. The rear end of the first machine room 80 is an opening 83 that opens toward the rear. In the first machine room 80, a part of the cooling section 30 described later is arranged.

[0018] 1, the second machine room 90 is formed in the upper rear part and the central rear part of the refrigerator 100. The second machine room 90 is disposed above the first machine room 80. In the second machine room 90, the remaining part of the cooling unit 30 is disposed.

[0019] 2 and 3, the refrigerator 100 further includes a cooling section 30. The cooling section 30 cools the storage space 14. Specifically, the cooling section 30 includes a refrigerant pipe 31, a compressor 32, a condensation section 33, an expansion section 34, an evaporation section 35, a fan 36, a cold air passage 37, an evaporation dish 38, and a terminal cover 39. In this embodiment, the evaporation dish 38 configures a "regulating member."

[0020] The compressor 32, terminal cover 39, and evaporation dish 38 are disposed inside a first machine chamber 80. The terminal cover 39 is made of a synthetic resin plate molded into a predetermined shape, and covers each electrode formed on the compressor 32. The terminal cover 39 is disposed on the right side of the compressor 32. On the other hand, the condensation section 33, the expansion section 34, the evaporation section 35, the fan 36, and the cold air passage 37 are disposed in a second machine chamber 90.

[0021] The refrigerant pipes 31 guide the refrigerant. The refrigerant pipes 31 connect the compressor 32, the condensation section 33, the expansion section 34, and the evaporation section 35. The refrigerant pipes 31 circulate the refrigerant through the compressor 32, the condensation section 33, the expansion section 34, and the evaporation section 35.

[0022] The compressor 32 compresses the gas refrigerant from the evaporation section 35. The condensation section 33 condenses the gas refrigerant compressed by the compressor 32. As a result, the refrigerant changes phase from gas to liquid. The expansion section 34 reduces the pressure of the liquid refrigerant flowing out from the condensation section 33. The evaporation section 35 evaporates the liquid refrigerant reduced in pressure in the expansion section 34 to gasify it into a gas refrigerant.

[0023] The fan 36 generates a flow of fluid (airflow) toward the evaporation section 35. As the fluid generated by the fan 36 passes through the evaporation section 35, heat exchange occurs between the fluid and the liquid refrigerant. As a result, the fluid is cooled and cold air is generated.

[0024] The cold air passage 37 guides the cold air from the evaporator 35 to the storage space 14 of the refrigerator compartment 10 and the storage space of the freezer compartment 20.

[0025] The evaporation tray 38 stores the defrosted water. In detail, the evaporation tray 38 is disposed below the evaporation section 35, and while the fluid passes through the evaporation section 35, the defrosted water contained in the fluid adheres to the evaporation section 35 and reaches the evaporation tray 38 from the evaporation section 35. The evaporation tray 38 is disposed close to the compressor 32, and the defrosted water stored in the evaporation tray 38 evaporates by heat generated by the operation of the compressor 32.

[0026] The configuration of the first machine chamber 80 will be described in detail. Figures 4 and 5 are exploded perspective views showing the structure in which the compressor 32 is attached to the bottom plate 120. Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view seen from the upper right rear side, and Figure 5 is an exploded perspective view seen from the upper left rear side.

[0027] The compressor 32 has a compressor body 200, a first fixing portion 210, and a second fixing portion 220.

[0028] The compressor body 200 has a drive mechanism (not shown) and a case 201. The case 201 houses the drive mechanism. Specifically, the case 201 has a cover 201a, a housing 201b, and a pipe 201c. The cover 201a is disposed above the housing 201b. The pipe 201c is connected to the refrigerant pipe 31.

[0029] The compressor body 200 has a longitudinal direction DD. In other words, the compressor body 200 has an elongated shape. The longitudinal direction DD indicates a direction along which the distance from one end to the other end of the compressor body 200 is maximized in a plan view. In detail, the compressor body 200 may have a shape that is substantially elliptical in a plan view and also substantially elliptical in a side view. In this embodiment, the longitudinal direction DD is along the width direction of the refrigerator 100.

[0030] The first fixing portion 210 is, for example, a plate-like body. The first fixing portion 210 is provided at one end of the compressor body 200 in the longitudinal direction DD. Specifically, in Figs. 3 to 5, the first fixing portion 210 is provided at the right end of the compressor body 200. The first fixing portion 210 is also provided at the bottom of the compressor body 200. The first fixing portion 210 is formed with a first through hole 211 that penetrates in the up-down direction. The first through hole 211 is, for example, circular in a plan view.

[0031] The second fixing part 220 is, for example, a plate-like body. The second fixing part 220 is provided at the other end of the compressor body 200 in the longitudinal direction DD. In Figs. 3 to 5, the second fixing part 220 is provided at the left end of the compressor body 200. The second fixing part 220 is also provided at the bottom of the compressor body 200. The second fixing part 220 is formed with a second through hole 222 that penetrates in the up-down direction. The second through hole 222 is, for example, circular in plan view.

[0032] As shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, refrigerator 100 further includes first fixing member 310 and first elastic member 410. First fixing member 310 is inserted into first through hole 211 to fix bottom plate 120 and compressor 32. First fixing member 310 may have, for example, a bolt and a nut (not shown). A fixing member such as first fixing member 310 may be constituted by a bolt and a nut, or may be constituted by a pin fixed to bottom plate 120 and a fixture attached to the pin, or may be constituted by, for example, a wiring connected to the compressor and fixed to bottom plate 120.

[0033] In this embodiment, an example in which the first fixing member 310 is composed of a bolt and a nut will be described. A through hole 120a penetrating in the up-down direction is formed in the bottom plate 120. The shaft of the bolt is inserted into the through hole 120a and the first through hole 211 of the bottom plate 120 from below the bottom plate 120, and a nut is attached to the shaft of the bolt via a washer from above the first fixing part 210. As a result, the bottom plate 120 and the compressor 32 are sandwiched between the head of the bolt and the nut.

[0034] The first elastic member 410 is made of an elastic member formed of an elastic material such as rubber or resin. The first elastic member 410 preferably has a damping function in addition to elasticity. The first elastic member 410 is inserted into the second through hole 222 and fixed. The first elastic member 410 extends from the second fixing portion 220 toward the bottom plate 120. In detail, the first elastic member 410 is a cylindrical body. An annular groove formed in the upper part of the outer circumferential surface of the first elastic member 410 fits into the peripheral portion of the second through hole 222, and the first elastic member 410 is fixed to the second fixing portion 220. At least a part of the lower surface of the first elastic member 410 is preferably in contact with the bottom plate 120.

[0035] The evaporation dish 38 is located above the compressor 32. The evaporation dish 38 may be, for example, a resin member made of resin. In this embodiment, the evaporation dish 38 constitutes the regulating member. The evaporation dish 38 includes a bottom wall 38a, a side wall 38b, and two mounting portions 38c. The side wall 38b is a rectangular cylinder.

[0036] Each of the two mounting portions 38c is disposed above the side wall 38b. The number of mounting portions 38c is not limited to two, and may be one or three. For example, each of the two mounting portions 38c is disposed at the back side of the side wall 38b. One of the two mounting portions 38c and the other of the two mounting portions 38c are disposed along the width direction.

[0037] The bottom wall 38a is disposed below the side wall 38b. An upwardly recessed recess 38d is formed in the center of the bottom wall 38a. The shape of the recess 38d corresponds to the shape of the lid body 201a. Specifically, the recess 38d is a semi-elliptical sphere that corresponds to the shape of the lid body 201a.

[0038] The positional relationship between the evaporating dish 38 and the compressor 32 will be described in detail. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the first machine room 80 according to the first embodiment. Each of the two mounting parts 38c is fixed to the lower part of the rear plate 112 of the housing 110 by a screw or the like. The recess 38d and the cover body 201a of the compressor 32 are in contact with each other or are arranged at a predetermined interval. An elastic plate-like body may be arranged at the predetermined interval. Thus, the evaporating dish 38 restricts the vertical movement of the compressor 32. The evaporating dish 38 may be fixed to the housing 110 of the refrigerator 100 so that the vertical movement of the compressor 32 is restricted on both sides in the depth direction of the compressor 32. For example, a mounting part other than the two mounting parts 38c may be arranged on the front side of the side wall 38b and fixed to the wall of the freezer compartment 20.

[0039] In this embodiment, the vertical movement of the compressor 32 is restricted by the evaporating dish 38 as a restricting member, the bottom plate 120 and the compressor 32 are fixed by the first fixing member 310, and the compressor 32 is fixed to the bottom plate 120 by the first elastic member 410 extending from the second fixing portion 220 toward the bottom plate 120. In this way, the compressor 32 is supported from below by the first fixing member 310 and the first elastic member 410, and the vertical movement of the compressor 32 is restricted by the evaporating dish 38. Therefore, even if only the first fixing member 310 is provided as a fixing member, the compressor 32 can be stably fixed. For example, when the fixing member is composed of bolts and nuts, etc., a number of steps are required for fixing by the fixing member. Therefore, according to the fixing method of the compressor 32, which can reduce the number of fixing members as in this embodiment, a fixing structure and a fixing method of the compressor 32 that can preferably fix the compressor 32 easily and with a small number of steps can be realized.

[0040] When only one fixing member is provided, the one fixing member is preferably configured, for example, by a fastening member configured of a bolt and a nut, or by a pin connected to the bottom plate 120 and a fixing device attached to the pin. When the fixing member is configured by such a fixing device, it is preferable to connect the wiring of the compressor 32 to the side opposite the fixing member in the longitudinal direction DD of the compressor 32 and fix the wiring to the bottom plate 120.

[0041] Specifically, the evaporator tray 38 is above the compressor 32 and restricts the vertical movement of the compressor 32, and the first fixing member 310 is below the compressor 32 and restricts the vertical movement of the compressor 32. The first fixing member 310 fixes the compressor 32 to the bottom plate 120 at one end of the compressor 32, and the first elastic member 410 is interposed between the compressor 32 and the bottom plate 120 at the other end of the compressor 32. As a result, when the refrigerator 100 is operated, the transmission of the driving vibration of the compressor body 200 to the bottom plate 120 can be suppressed. Also, when an impact is applied when an operator transports the refrigerator 100, the vertical movement of the compressor 32 can be restricted. And, since the compressor 32 is fixed to the bottom plate 120 by one first fixing member 310 instead of four fixing members, the assembly man-hours and costs can be reduced. Furthermore, since the bottom plate 120 and the compressor 32 are fixed to each other by the first fixing member 310 at the rear end side of the first machine chamber 80, the worker can easily perform the fixing work using the first fixing member 310.

[0042] The refrigerator 100 may further include an elastic member 450 fixed to the periphery of the first through hole 211. The elastic member 450 may have the same configuration as the first elastic member 410 fixed to the periphery of the second through hole 222. An annular groove formed in the upper part of the outer circumferential surface of the elastic member 450 is fixed to the periphery of the first through hole 211. The lower surface of the elastic member 450 contacts the bottom plate 120. The shaft of the bolt of the first fixing member 310 is inserted from below the bottom plate 120 into the through hole 120a of the bottom plate 120, the inside of the elastic member 450, and the first through hole 211, and a nut is attached to the shaft of the bolt from above the first fixing part 210 via a washer. As a result, the bottom plate 120 and the compressor 32 are sandwiched by the head of the bolt and the nut via the elastic member 450. Therefore, by interposing the elastic member 450 between the bottom plate 120 and the compressor 32 , vibrations generated by the operation of the compressor 32 are absorbed by the elastic member 450 , and transmission of the vibrations to the bottom plate 120 can be suppressed.

[0043] The configuration of the first machine room 80 according to the first embodiment will be described in more detail. In the above description, the refrigerator 100 includes the first fixing member 310 and the first elastic member 410, but may include other members. The first fixing portion 210 may be formed with a fourth through hole 214 penetrating in the vertical direction. The second fixing portion 220 may be formed with a third through hole 223 penetrating in the vertical direction. Each of the third through hole 223 and the fourth through hole 214 is, for example, circular in plan view.

[0044] Bottom plate 120 has plate-shaped portion 121 and ribs 122. Plate-shaped portion 121 faces the floor surface. Ribs 122 are located on the rear side (back side) of refrigerator 100. In other words, ribs 122 are located on the rear side (back side) of plate-shaped portion 121. Ribs 122 extend upward. Ribs 122 extend along the width direction of refrigerator 100. Bottom plate 120 may have a rib located on the front side of plate-shaped portion 121.

[0045] Four mounting parts 120b are formed on the plate-like part 121. Each of the four mounting parts 120b protrudes upward. Each of the four mounting parts 120b has a through hole 120a that penetrates in the up-down direction. One of the four mounting parts 120b is formed at the center in the width direction on the far side in the depth direction. One of the four mounting parts 120b is formed at the left side in the width direction on the far side in the depth direction. One of the four mounting parts 120b is formed at the center in the width direction on the near side in the depth direction. One of the four mounting parts 120b is formed at the left side in the width direction on the near side in the depth direction.

[0046] The first fixing portion 210 is, for example, a plate-like body extending along the depth direction. The first through hole 211 is formed on the back side of the first fixing portion 210 in the depth direction. The fourth through hole 214 is formed on the front side of the first fixing portion 210 in the depth direction.

[0047] The second fixing portion 220 is, for example, a plate-like body extending along the depth direction. The second through hole 222 is formed on the back side in the depth direction of the second fixing portion 220. The third through hole 223 is formed on the front side in the depth direction of the second fixing portion 220.

[0048] The refrigerator 100 may further include a second fixing member 320 and an elastic member 450 in addition to the first fixing member 310. The second fixing member 320 is inserted into the third through hole 223 to fix the bottom plate 120 and the compressor 32. The second fixing member 320 has the same configuration as the first fixing member 310, and is a bolt and a nut. In detail, an annular groove formed in the upper part of the outer circumferential surface of the elastic member 450 is fixed to the peripheral portion of the third through hole 223. The lower surface of the elastic member 450 contacts the bottom plate 120. The shaft of the bolt of the second fixing member 320 is inserted from below the bottom plate 120 into the through hole 120a of the bottom plate 120, the inside of the elastic member 450, and the third through hole 223, and a nut is attached to the shaft of the bolt via a washer from above the second fixing part 220. As a result, the bottom plate 120 and the compressor 32 are sandwiched between the heads of the bolts and the nuts via the elastic member 450. Therefore, by interposing the elastic member 450 between the bottom plate 120 and the compressor 32, vibrations generated by the operation of the compressor 32 are absorbed by the elastic member 450, and transmission of the vibrations to the bottom plate 120 can be suppressed.

[0049] According to the first embodiment, the evaporator tray 38 is located above the compressor 32 and restricts the up-down movement of the compressor 32, the first fixing member 310 fixes the compressor 32 to the bottom plate 120 at the right end of the compressor 32, and the second fixing member 320 fixes the compressor 32 to the bottom plate 120 at the left end of the compressor 32. The first arrangement direction D1, which is the arrangement direction of the first fixing member 310 and the second fixing member 320, is inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction DD of the compressor body 200. As a result, even if an impact is applied when an operator transports the refrigerator 100, the up-down movement of the compressor 32 can be more restricted. In addition, since the compressor 32 is fixed to the bottom plate 120 by the first fixing member 310 and the second fixing member 320 without using four fixing members, the number of assembly steps and the cost can be reduced. Furthermore, since the bottom plate 120 and the compressor 32 are fixed by the second fixing member 320 on the left side of the compressor 32 opposite the side where the terminal cover 39 is located, the worker can easily perform the fixing work using the second fixing member 320.

[0050] The refrigerator 100 may further include a second elastic member 420 in addition to the first elastic member 410. The second elastic member 420 is made of an elastic member formed of an elastic material such as rubber or resin. The second elastic member 420 is inserted into the fourth through hole 214 and fixed. The second elastic member 420 extends from the first fixing portion 210 toward the bottom plate 120. In detail, the second elastic member 420 has a configuration similar to that of the first elastic member 410 and is a cylindrical body. An annular groove formed in the upper part of the outer circumferential surface of the second elastic member 420 is fixed to the periphery of the fourth through hole 214. The lower surface of the second elastic member 420 contacts the bottom plate 120. In other words, the second elastic member 420 is interposed between the first fixing portion 210 and the bottom plate 120.

[0051] According to the first embodiment, the evaporating dish 38 is located above the compressor 32 and restricts the up-down movement of the compressor 32, the first elastic member 410 is interposed between the second fixing part 220 and the bottom plate 120 at the left end of the compressor 32, and the second elastic member 420 is interposed between the first fixing part 210 and the bottom plate 120 at the right end of the compressor 32. The second arrangement direction D2, which is the arrangement direction of the first elastic member 410 and the second elastic member 420, is inclined with respect to each of the longitudinal direction DD and the first arrangement direction D1 of the compressor main body 200. As a result, by interposing the first elastic member 410 and the second elastic member 420 between the bottom plate 120 and the compressor 32, the vibration generated by the operation of the compressor 32 is absorbed by the first elastic member 410 and the second elastic member 420, and the transmission of the vibration to the bottom plate 120 can be further suppressed.

[0052] [Second embodiment] Next, a second embodiment of the refrigerator 100 will be described. FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view showing a structure in which the compressor 32 according to the second embodiment is attached to the bottom plate 120. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment mainly in the method of fixing the compressor 32. Below, the differences between the second embodiment and the first embodiment will be described, and the other explanations of the first embodiment are applied to the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, a first arrangement direction D1, which is the arrangement direction of the first fixing member 310 and the second fixing member 320, is aligned with the longitudinal direction DD of the compressor body 200.

[0053] The second fixing portion 220 is, for example, a plate-like body extending along the depth direction. The second through hole 222 to which the second elastic member 420 is fixed is formed on the front side of the second fixing portion 220 in the depth direction. The third through hole 223 to which the second fixing member 320 is inserted is formed on the back side of the second fixing portion 220 in the depth direction. In other words, the third through hole 223 to which the second fixing member 320 is inserted is formed at the position of the second through hole 222 of the second fixing member 320 in the first embodiment, and the second through hole 222 to which the first elastic member 410 is fixed is formed at the position of the third through hole 223 of the second fixing member 320 in the first embodiment.

[0054] According to the second embodiment, the evaporator tray 38 is located above the compressor 32 and restricts the up-down movement of the compressor 32, the first fixing member 310 fixes the compressor 32 to the bottom plate 120 at the right end of the compressor 32, and the second fixing member 320 fixes the compressor 32 to the bottom plate 120 at the left end of the compressor 32. The first arrangement direction D1, which is the arrangement direction of the first fixing member 310 and the second fixing member 320, is aligned with the longitudinal direction DD of the compressor body 200 and the width direction of the rib 122. As a result, even if an impact is applied when an operator transports the refrigerator 100, the up-down movement of the compressor 32 can be more restricted. In addition, since the compressor 32 is fixed to the bottom plate 120 by the first fixing member 310 and the second fixing member 320 without using four fixing members, the number of assembly steps and the cost can be reduced. Furthermore, since the bottom plate 120 and the compressor 32 are fixed at the rear end side of the first machine chamber 80 by the first fixing member 310 and the second fixing member 320, an operator can easily perform the fixing work using the first fixing member 310 and the second fixing member 320.

[0055] [Third embodiment] Next, a third embodiment of the refrigerator 100 will be described. FIG. 8 is an exploded perspective view showing a structure in which the compressor 32 according to the third embodiment is attached to the bottom plate 120. The third embodiment differs from the first embodiment mainly in the method of fixing the compressor 32. Hereinafter, the differences between the third embodiment and the first embodiment will be described, and the other explanations of the first embodiment are applied to the third embodiment. In the third embodiment, a first arrangement direction D1, which is the arrangement direction of the first fixing member 310 and the second fixing member 320, is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction DD of the compressor body 200.

[0056] The first fixing portion 210 is, for example, a plate-like body extending along the depth direction. The first through hole 211 into which the first fixing member 310 is inserted is formed on the back side of the first fixing portion 210 in the depth direction. The through hole into which the second fixing member 320 is inserted is formed on the front side of the first fixing portion 210 in the depth direction.

[0057] The second fixing portion 220 is, for example, a plate-like body extending along the depth direction. The second through-hole 222 to which the first elastic member 410 is fixed is formed in the center of the second fixing portion 220 in the depth direction.

[0058] The first elastic member 410 is provided between the first fixing member 310 and the second fixing member 320 in the depth direction of the compressor 21. As a result, by interposing the first elastic member 410 between the bottom plate 120 and the compressor 32, vibrations generated by the operation of the compressor 32 are absorbed by the first elastic member 410, and the transmission of the vibrations to the bottom plate 120 can be further suppressed.

[0059] According to the third embodiment, the evaporating tray 38 is located above the compressor 32 and restricts the vertical movement of the compressor 32, and the first fixing member 310 and the second fixing member 320 fix the compressor 32 to the bottom plate 120 at the right end of the compressor 32. The first arrangement direction D1, which is the arrangement direction of the first fixing member 310 and the second fixing member 320, is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction DD of the compressor body 200. As a result, even if an impact is applied when the refrigerator 100 is transported, the vertical movement of the compressor 32 can be more restricted. Furthermore, since the compressor 32 is fixed to the bottom plate 120 by the first fixing member 310 and the second fixing member 320 without using four fixing members, the number of assembly steps and the cost can be reduced.

[0060] [Fourth embodiment] Next, a fourth embodiment of the refrigerator 100 will be described. FIG. 9 is an exploded perspective view showing a structure in which the compressor 32 according to the fourth embodiment is attached to the bottom plate 120. The fourth embodiment differs from the first embodiment mainly in the method of fixing the compressor 32. Hereinafter, the differences between the fourth embodiment and the first embodiment will be described, and the other explanations of the first embodiment are applied to the fourth embodiment. In the fourth embodiment, the second through hole 222 to which the first elastic member 410 is fixed is formed in the center of the second fixing portion 220 in the depth direction.

[0061] The second fixing portion 220 is, for example, a plate-like body extending along the depth direction. The second through-hole 222 to which the first elastic member 410 is fixed is formed in the center of the second fixing portion 220 in the depth direction.

[0062] The first elastic member 410 is provided between the first fixing member 310 and the second elastic member 420 in the depth direction of the compressor 21. As a result, by interposing the first elastic member 410 and the second elastic member 420 between the bottom plate 120 and the compressor 32, vibrations generated by the operation of the compressor 32 are absorbed by the first elastic member 410 and the second elastic member 420, and transmission of the vibrations to the bottom plate 120 can be further suppressed.

[0063] The embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above with reference to the drawings. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiments, and can be implemented in various forms without departing from the gist of the present disclosure. In addition, various inventions can be formed by appropriately combining multiple components disclosed in the above embodiments.
