[0008] (Findings that formed the basis of this disclosure) At the time when the inventors arrived at the idea of the present disclosure, there was a technology for a storage cabinet that includes a storage cabinet main body and a double-door provided at an opening of the storage cabinet main body, and that attaches sealing members that can be tightly fitted to each other on opposing side surfaces of the doors via mounting members. This makes it possible to seal the doors at their opposing side surfaces even if the opening of the storage cabinet does not have a member, such as a pillar, that can be tightly fitted to the doors. However, the inventors discovered a problem with conventional storage cabinets: when the door is closed with a great deal of force, the storage cabinet body and the mounting member come into contact, which could result in damage to the mounting member. In order to solve this problem, the inventors came up with the subject matter of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure provides a storage facility that can prevent damage to components attached to the door.

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, in some cases, more detailed explanation than necessary will be omitted. For example, detailed explanation of already well-known matters or redundant explanation of substantially the same configuration will be omitted. The accompanying drawings and the following description are provided to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the subject matter described in the claims.

[0010] (Embodiment 1) Hereinafter, the first embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 6. In each figure, the symbol FR indicates the front direction of the storage cabinet 1 in the installed state, the symbol UP indicates the upward direction of the storage cabinet 1, and the symbol LH indicates the leftward direction of the storage cabinet 1. In the following description, each direction is a direction along these directions of the storage cabinet 1. In the following description, the surface on which the opening 2B is provided is referred to as the front face, and the direction that this front face faces is referred to as the forward direction. In addition, the direction along the vertical direction in the installed state of the storage cabinet 1 is referred to as the up-down direction, and the direction along the horizontal direction is referred to as the front-rear direction and the left-right direction.

[0011] [1-1.Configuration] [1-1-1. Storage structure] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a storage 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The storage cabinet 1 is a vertical refrigerator, as shown in Fig. 1. The storage cabinet 1 includes a storage cabinet main body 2, a plurality of doors 4, and a machine room 6.

[0012] The storage body 2 comprises an outer box 5 that opens at the front, an inner box 7 that is housed inside the outer box 5 and also opens at the front, and a heat insulating material provided in the space between the outer box 5 and the inner box 7. The storage body 2 is a box body with insulated walls formed by filling the space surrounded by the outer box 5 and the inner box 7 with insulating material. In this embodiment, the outer box 5 and the inner box 7 are both integrally formed from metal such as stainless steel plate. The insulating material may be polystyrene foam, hard urethane foam, or the like.

[0013] The storage body 2 has a storage chamber 2A provided therein, and an opening 2B that is rectangular in front view is provided on the front surface. Hereinafter, the front surface on which the opening 2B is provided will be referred to as the opening surface. An opening peripheral portion 2C that surrounds the entire periphery of the opening 2B is provided on the opening surface of the storage body 2. The opening peripheral portion 2C has a flat surface that is located on approximately the same plane as the opening surface of the storage body 2. The opening peripheral edge portion 2C corresponds to the "periphery" in this disclosure.

[0014] The storage body 2 is provided with a partition 2D that separates the opening 2B. The partition 2D is a beam-shaped member that extends in the left-right direction. The partition 2D is formed in the shape of a metal box, and is filled with a heat insulating material. Each end of the partition 2D is connected to the midpoint in the up-down direction of each of the opening peripheries 2C located in the left-right direction. The partition 2D corresponds to the "periphery" in this disclosure.

[0015] The outer box 5 and the inner box 7 are not limited to being made of metal, but may be made of hard resin such as ABS resin, etc. Also, the outer box 5 and the inner box 7 may be made of a combination of metal and hard resin. For example, the storage body 2 may be formed by combining a plate-like member such as a steel plate formed into a housing shape with an insulating wall formed by filling the inside of the housing with insulating material.

[0016] The machine room 6 is disposed above the storage body 2. A refrigeration device 81 that constitutes a refrigeration cycle is housed inside the machine room 6. More specifically, the refrigeration device 81 includes a compressor 82, a condenser 83, a condenser blower 84, a capillary tube 85, an electrical box 86, and an evaporator 87, and when these components are driven, cold air is sent into the storage chamber 2A. In this embodiment, the evaporator 87 is provided inside the storage body 2. The capillary tube 85 may be another throttling mechanism such as a throttle valve.

[0017] [1-1-2. Door configuration] The multiple doors 4 are rectangular door members that can be opened and closed to close the opening 2B of the storage cabinet main body 2. In the storage cabinet 1 of this embodiment, two sets of doors 4 are provided, one above the other, with one set being a pair of doors 4 arranged in the left-right direction. The doors 4 are arranged on either side of the partition 2D, with one set above the partition 2D and the other set below the partition 2D.

[0018] These doors 4 are arranged with one side adjacent to each other. Hinges (not shown) are provided on the top surface 4D and bottom surface 4E of each door 4 at locations located on the other side surface 4G of each door 4. Each of the pair of doors 4 can be opened and closed in the left-right direction of the storage cabinet 1 by these hinges. In other words, the pair of doors 4 are so-called double-door doors. In this embodiment, the pair of doors 4 are so-called double-door doors that are formed symmetrically on the left and right. Note that the pair of doors 4 do not need to be formed symmetrically as long as they are double-door doors. Furthermore, each door 4 is provided with a stopper portion 11 at a location corresponding to the hinge. The stopper portion 11 comes into contact with the hinge when the door 4 opens beyond a predetermined angle, thereby restricting the angle at which the door 4 rotates. Handles 18 are provided on the front surface 4C of each of the doors 4 at positions close to the adjacent side surfaces in the left-right direction.

[0019] Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one of the doors 4 provided in the storage facility 1. Fig. 2 is a view of the door 4 as seen from the rear surface 4A side. For ease of explanation, in Fig. 2, a partition body 2D is indicated by a two-dot chain line. One door 4 will be described below, but the other doors 4 have the same structure. The door 4 is a flat plate-like member having a predetermined thickness, as shown in Fig. 2. The door 4 includes a door body 12 and a plurality of body sealing members 15.

[0020] In the door body 12, the front surface 4C, both side surfaces 4B and 4G, the top surface 4D, and the bottom surface 4E of the door 4, as well as the outer peripheral edge 12A of the rear surface 4A, are all formed by door exterior panels 13, which are integrally formed from a metal such as a stainless steel plate. The center of the rear surface of the door body 12 is formed by a door interior panel 14, which is formed from a hard resin. The center of this door interior panel 14 protrudes further into the storage compartment 2A than the outer peripheral edge 12A of the rear surface of the door body 12. Therefore, in the door 4, the center of the rear surface 4A, which is the surface facing the storage cabinet body 2, is formed by the door interior panel 14, and the outer peripheral edges 12A along each side are formed by the door exterior panel 13.

[0021] The space surrounded by these door exterior panel 13 and door interior panel 14 is filled with a heat insulating material such as expanded polystyrene or hard urethane foam. The door exterior panel 13 is not limited to being made of metal, but may be made of hard resin such as ABS resin.

[0022] Next, the rear surface of the door body 12 will be described. On the rear surface of the door body 12 located on the rear surface 4A of the door 4, the outer peripheral edge 12A of the rear surface is formed by the ends of the door exterior panel 13 on the upper surface side, lower surface side, and each side surface side, and is formed by the ends of the door interior panel 14 on the rear central side. A main body sealing member 15 is attached around the entire periphery of the end of the door interior panel 14. The main body sealing member 15 is a member that seals the gap between the storage cabinet main body 2 and each of the doors 4 by coming into close contact with the storage cabinet main body 2. The main body sealing member 15 comes into close contact with the opening peripheral edge 2C and the partition body 2D. The body sealing member 15 has a predetermined thickness, and when attached to the door body 12, it protrudes from the outer peripheral edge 12A of the rear surface of the door body 12.

[0023] The main body sealing member 15 is made of a soft resin such as rubber or soft polyvinyl chloride, and is an elastically deformable sealing member such as a so-called packing or gasket. In this embodiment, the main body sealing member 15 is integrally molded into a rectangular frame shape. The main body sealing member 15 may be formed into four straight lines, each attached to the groove shape described above, and arranged in a frame shape on the door main body 12.

[0024] The main body sealing member 15 is formed in a hollow shape with an internal space. Four rod-shaped magnets are housed in the internal space of the main body sealing member 15, extending over the entire circumferential direction. Each of the magnets has a length approximately equal to that of each side of the rear surface 4A of the door 4. Each of the magnets is inserted into the internal space of the main body sealing member 15 along each side of the main body sealing member 15. In particular, the main body sealing member 15 has an adhesive part 16 in which the magnet is housed and which is in close contact with the storage cabinet main body 2. Furthermore, the main body sealing member 15 has an expandable part 17 in which the largest hollow space is formed and which is expandable back and forth from the door 4 toward the storage cabinet main body 2.

[0025] [1-1-3. Configuration of mounting components] 3 and 4 are exploded perspective views of the cap member 90 and the mounting member 30 of the door 4. FIG. 3 shows a state as viewed from diagonally above, and FIG. 4 shows a state as viewed from diagonally below. In addition, in FIGS. 3 and 4, the upper part of the sealing member 50 is omitted for the purpose of explaining the mounting member 30. FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the V portion of FIG. 2. In FIG. 5, the upper part of the sealing member 50 is not omitted.

[0026] 3, a sealing member 50 is provided via an attachment member 30 on a side surface 4B of each door 4 adjacent to the other door 4. A heater 36, which is a linear member, is sandwiched between the attachment member 30 and the sealing member 50. The side surface 4B corresponds to the "opposing surface" in this disclosure. The mounting member 30 is made of a hard resin as a hard material. The mounting member 30 is a long member having a length approximately equal to that of the side surface 4B of the door 4. The mounting member 30 is a plate-like member formed, for example, by extrusion molding, so that the end surface is C-shaped.

[0027] The mounting member 30 has a flat base 31 that extends over the entire length of the mounting member 30. The base 31 is attached so that its length is aligned with the vertical direction of the door 4 and its thickness is aligned with the left-right direction. The width of the mounting member 30, which is the dimension along the front-to-back direction, is formed to be approximately the same as the width of the side surface 4B of the door 4. The mounting member 30 is attached to the side surface 4B of the door 4 with fastening members. The length of the mounting member 30 is formed to be shorter than the length of the main body sealing member 15 in the vertical direction when viewed from the side surface 4B of the door.

[0028] 3 and 4, a front locking piece 33 is formed on the end of the base 31 on the front side of the door 4. The front locking piece 33 is formed on the base 31 so as to protrude in a direction away from the side surface 4B. The tip of the front locking piece 33 is formed in a claw shape that curves toward the front side of the door 4. The front locking piece 33 engages with a second cover locking piece 60 provided on the cover part 52, which will be described later.

[0029] A central engagement piece 34 is formed in approximately the center in the front-to-rear direction of the base 31. The central engagement piece 34 is formed on the base 31 so as to protrude in a direction away from the side surface 4B. The tip of the central engagement piece 34 is bent in an L-shape toward the storage cabinet main body 2. A first cover engagement piece 59 provided on the cover part 52, which will be described later, engages with this central engagement piece 34.

[0030] A first heater holding portion 37 that holds the heater 36 is formed at the end of the base 31 closer to the storage cabinet main body 2 than the central engagement piece 34. The first heater holding portion 37 is formed in a groove shape that is open at the front and recessed toward the rear. In the front-to-rear direction of the storage cabinet 1, the first heater holding portion 37 is positioned approximately flush with the outer peripheral edge 12A of the rear surface of the door main body 12, or is positioned closer to the front of the door 4 than the outer peripheral edge 12A.

[0031] 2, an extension portion 35 is formed on the base 31. The extension portion 35 extends from the rear end of the first heater holding portion 37 toward the storage chamber 2A, extends along the rear surface of the door 4, and abuts against the outer peripheral edge 12A of the rear surface of the door main body 12 to which the mounting member 30 is attached. Therefore, when the mounting member 30 is attached to the door 4, the base 31 abuts against the side surface 4B of the door 4, and the extension portion 35 abuts against the rear surface of the door 4.

[0032] This allows the mounting member 30 to be easily positioned in the front-rear direction of the door 4. Therefore, the mounting member 30 can be easily attached to the side surface 4B of the door 4 while preventing misalignment. The entire extension portion 35 is disposed at a position closer to the storage cabinet main body 2 than the rear surface of the door 4 and the outer peripheral edge 12A.

[0033] The extension portion 35 is formed with a second heater holding portion 38 capable of holding the heater 36. The second heater holding portion 38 is formed in a groove shape that is open on the other door 4 side and recessed toward the main body sealing member 15 side. The heater 36 is bent between the first heater holding portion 37 and the second heater holding portion 38 to form a heater bent portion 36A.

[0034] A first corner portion 41 that protrudes from the second heater holding portion 38 toward the opening 2B is formed in the extension portion 35. The first corner portion 41 includes a first shaft portion 43 that extends in a substantially linear manner toward the opening 2B, and a first flat plate portion 42 that extends in the left-right direction from the tip of the first shaft portion 43, and is formed in a substantially T-shape.

[0035] A second corner portion 44 that protrudes toward the opening 2B is formed on the extension portion 35. The second corner portion 44 is formed in a substantially T-shape and includes a second shaft portion 46 that extends in a substantially linear manner toward the opening 2B and a second flat plate portion 45 that extends in the left-right direction from the tip of the second shaft portion 46. The second corner portion 44 is formed at a position on the extension portion 35 that is closest to the main body sealing member 15.

[0036] The second flat plate portion 45 forms a plane on the mounting member 30 that closes a portion of the opening 2B when the mounting member 30 is viewed from the side of the storage cabinet main body 2. This prevents air from inside the storage chamber 2A from leaking out to the outside of the storage cabinet 1 and prevents air from outside the storage cabinet 1 from entering the storage chamber 2A.

[0037] The second flat plate portion 45 is disposed at a predetermined distance in the left-right direction from the main body sealing member 15. This prevents the second flat plate portion 45 from interfering with the deformation of the main body sealing member 15 in the storage cabinet 1, even when the main body sealing member 15 is deformed due to its close contact with the storage cabinet main body 2.

[0038] [1-1-4. Configuration of sealing material] 3 and 4, the sealing member 50 includes a side packing 51, a cover portion 52, and a front fin portion 53, which are integrally molded. The sealing member 50 is a long, plate-like member that has a length approximately the same as that of the mounting member 30 and is molded as a whole so that the end faces are C-shaped. The sealing member 50 is attached so that its longitudinal direction is aligned with the vertical direction of the door 4. A contact portion 54 is joined to the other door 4 side of the side packing 51. Furthermore, the contact portion 54 and the cover portion 52 are connected via a connecting portion 55. A front fin portion 53 is integrally formed at the front end of the cover portion 52.

[0039] Each portion of the sealing member 50 has a different hardness. The contact portion 54, the side gasket 51, the cover portion 52, and the front fin portion 53 are formed from the same resin material. Therefore, the contact portion 54, the side gasket 51, the cover portion 52, and the front fin portion 53, which have different hardnesses, can be easily joined together. This makes it easy to form the contact portion 54, the side gasket 51, the cover portion 52, and the front fin portion 53 integrally, and makes it easy to produce the sealing member 50.

[0040] 3, the magnet accommodating portion 56 formed in the side packing 51 has a contact portion 54 that forms the entire plane facing the other door 4. The contact portion 54 is formed in a plate shape that is provided over the entire longitudinal direction of the side packing 51. The contact portion 54 is formed integrally with the side packing 51. The contact surfaces of the contact portion 54 on the other door 4 side come into close contact with each other when the pair of doors 4 are closed. The connecting portion 55 is joined to the front end of the contact portion 54. The cover portion 52 is joined to the front end of the connecting portion 55.

[0041] The cover portion 52 is formed of a hard resin, which is a material harder than the contact portion 54. As shown in Fig. 3, the cover portion 52 is formed into a plate shape with a C-shaped end face.

[0042] A first cover engaging piece 59 is formed at the rear end of the cover part 52. This first cover engaging piece 59 protrudes toward the door main body 12 to which the sealing member 50 is attached. The tip of the first cover engaging piece 59 is formed in a claw shape. As described above, the cover engaging piece 59 engages with the central engaging piece 34.

[0043] A second cover locking piece 60 is formed at the front end of the cover part 52. The second cover locking piece 60 is formed to protrude toward the door main body 12 to which the sealing member 50 is attached. The tip of the second cover locking piece 60 is formed in a claw shape and is formed to protrude toward the storage cabinet main body 2. As described above, the second cover locking piece 60 engages with the front locking piece 33.

[0044] A front fin portion 53 is integrally formed at the tip of the front portion of the second cover portion locking piece 60. The front fin portion 53 is made of a soft material such as soft resin such as rubber, just like the side gasket 51. The front fin portion 53 is formed toward the side surface 4B of the door 4 so as to abut against the side surface 4B.

[0045] The side gasket 51 is made of a soft resin, which is an elastically deformable material such as rubber or soft polyvinyl chloride. The side gasket 51 is an elastically deformable member. The side gasket 51 forms the rear part of the sealing member 50. The side gasket 51 is disposed in a position opposite the opening 2B. The side gasket 51 functions as a member that seals the gap between the pair of doors 4 to prevent cool air from escaping from the storage chamber 2A. The end face of the side packing 51 is formed in an L-shape, and a magnet accommodating section 56 is provided at a location corresponding to a corner of the L-shape, with the end face partitioned into a rectangular space.

[0046] The side gasket 51 has a first seal portion 61. The first seal portion 61 is continuous with the surface of the magnet storage portion 56 facing the storage cabinet main body 2, and has a flat plate shape extending in the left-right direction away from the magnet storage portion 56.

[0047] 3 and 4, an inner fin portion 62 is formed in the first seal portion 61 on the side opposite to the magnet accommodating portion 56. The inner fin portion 62 has a fin shape that extends toward the main body sealing member 15 and whose tip abuts against the main body sealing member 15.

[0048] 3 and 4, a second seal portion 63 is provided midway in the left-right direction of the first seal portion 61. This second seal portion 63 is formed so as to protrude rearward from the first seal portion 61 and then bend and extend toward the magnet accommodating portion 56. The second seal portion 63 is formed so that its end face is L-shaped.

[0049] [1-1-5. Composition of cap member] Fig. 6 is a diagram showing the relationship between the cap member 90 and the storage cabinet main body 2. In Fig. 6, for ease of explanation, the heater cover part 97 and the partition part 101 are each given a different dot pattern. 3, 4, and 5, the upper ends of the mounting member 30 and the sealing member 50 are closed by cap members 90. The lower ends of the mounting member 30 and the sealing member 50 are also closed by cap members 90. One cap member 90 is attached to each door 4, one above and one below, and each is configured symmetrically in the top-bottom plane.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 5, the cap member 90 is disposed inside the door exterior plate 13. One end of the cap member 90 extends along the front-to-rear direction of the side surface 4B of the door 4. The other end of the cap member 90 wraps around the outer edge of the rear surface 4A of the door 4 and extends along the outer edge and the end surface direction of the main body sealing member 15.

[0051] The cap member 90 includes a cap body 91 , a covering portion 92 , and a flange portion 93 . The cap body 91 is formed of a hard resin as a hard material. The hardness of the cap body 91 is greater than the hardness of the covering portion 92. Furthermore, the hardness of the cap body 91 may be configured to be greater than the hardness of the mounting member 30.

[0052] An attachment portion 94 protruding from the rear surface is formed on the front end side of the cap body 91. The attachment portion 94 is hooked onto an attachment receiving portion 96 formed on the attachment member 30, as shown in FIG.

[0053] The mounting portion 96 is formed at the end of the base 31 of the mounting member 30. The mounting portion 96 is a generally L-shaped notch formed by cutting out from the central locking piece 34 toward the front locking piece 33. The mounting portion 94 is inserted into an opening 96A of the mounting portion 96, and then moved forward, whereby the mounting portion 94 is locked to the mounting portion 96. This restricts the movement of the cap member 90 in the up and down directions.

[0054] Heater cover portions 97 that protrude from the rear surface are formed at the corners of the cap body 91. As shown in Fig. 4 in particular, the heater cover portions 97 are formed so as to cover the heater bent portions 36A that protrude from the first heater holding portion 37 and the second heater holding portion 38. Note that the heater bent portions 36A are omitted from Fig. 6.

[0055] The heater covering portion 97 is formed so that its dimension in the front-rear direction is approximately equal to the distance from the front end of the first heater holding portion 37 to the rear end of the second heater holding portion 38. As shown in Fig. 6, the heater covering portion 97 is formed so that its tip extends beyond the tip of the covering portion 92. This makes it possible to cover and conceal the heater bent portion 36A while avoiding interference between the covering portion 92 and the mounting member 30.

[0056] 4 and 6, the cap body 91 includes a bulging portion 99 formed in the up-down direction from the rear end of the connecting portion 55 of the sealing member 50 so as to overlap the cover portion 52 and the front fin portion 53. The covering portion 92 is joined to the bulging portion 99. The cap body 91 is formed with a plate-shaped bridging portion 98 that bridges from the rear end of the mounting portion 94 to the front end of the heater covering portion 97.

[0057] The bulging portion 99 is formed to bulge from the side surfaces of the heater cover portion 97, the bridge portion 98, and the mounting portion 94. Furthermore, the front end of the bulging portion 99, which is formed at a position overlapping the front fin portion 53 in the vertical direction, is formed to protrude from the front end surface of the mounting portion 94.

[0058] The cap body 91 has a protrusion 100 at the end forming the rear portion. The protrusion 100 is formed so as to extend in the left-right direction toward the body sealing member 15. The protrusion 100 is arranged so as to overlap with a part of the body sealing member 15 and a part of the extension portion 35 in the up-down direction. The rear end surface of the protrusion 100 is configured as a smooth surface that is approximately parallel to the rear surface of the door 4.

[0059] A partition portion 101 is formed on the back surface of the cap body 91, protruding from between the heater cover portion 97 and the protrusion portion 100. The partition portion 101 is formed in the shape of a plate extending in the front-to-rear direction. The partition portion 101 overlaps with the second axis portion 46 of the second corner portion 44 in the up-down direction and is positioned so as to be offset in a direction away from the body sealing member 15. The partition portion 101 is positioned on the body sealing member 15 side of the heater bent portion 36A.

[0060] The partition portion 101 blocks the flow of outside air from the outside of the cap member 90 through the inside of the cap member 90 toward the mounting member 30 side.

[0061] A flange portion 93 is provided at the tip of the cap body 91, which is located on the body sealing member 15 side. A screw hole 93A is formed in the flange portion 93. The cap member 90 is fixed to the door 4 by screwing a fastening member into the screw hole 93A.

[0062] 3 to 6, the covering portion 92 is formed to cover the entire upper portion of the cap body 91 and the outer surface of the cap body 91. The outer surface of the cap body 91 refers to the surface along the side surface 4B of the door 4 and the surface along the rear surface 4A of the door 4.

[0063] The covering portion 92 includes a first cover portion 102 that covers the rear surface 4A of the door 4 of the cap body 91 and is formed so as to incline toward the opening 2B. When the first cover portion 102 is deformed due to a collision with another member, the first cover portion 102 deforms so as to fit closely to the protrusion 100. In other words, the first cover portion 102 functions as a buffer for the protrusion 100. The first cover portion 102 corresponds to the "buffer portion" in this disclosure.

[0064] The second cover portion 103 of the covering portion 92, which covers the side surface 4B of the door 4 of the cap body 91, is formed along the vertical direction. The second cover portion 103 covers the heater covering portion 97 and a part of the upper part of the mounting portion 94. As shown in FIG. 5 , the second cover portion 103 is formed so that the end surface of the second cover portion 103 fits along the end surface of the sealing member 50 and does not interfere with the end surface of the sealing member 50.

[0065] The second cover portion 103 is joined to the bulging portion 99 of the cap body 91. Therefore, the second cover portion 103 is less likely to deform than the first cover portion 102.

[0066] At each of both ends in the vertical direction of the mounting member 30, a recess 80 is provided that is recessed from the storage body 2 side toward the front surface 4C of the door 4. While Fig. 6 shows the upper end of the mounting member 30, the lower end has a similar configuration.

[0067] The recessed portions 80 are formed by cutting out the extending portions 35 at both ends of the mounting member 30 in the up-down direction and along the front-rear direction by a predetermined length dimension.

[0068] At both ends, the extension portion 35 is cut out in the front-to-back direction from the tip located on the storage body 2 side to the point facing the opening peripheral portion 2C or the partition body 2D when the door 4 is closed and the body sealing member 15 is in close contact with the storage body 2, thereby forming a recess portion 80.

[0069] 3, 4, and 6, the extending portion 35 is cut out at both ends in the front-rear direction from the tip located on the side of the storage container body 2 of each of the first corner 41 and the second corner 44 to a position a predetermined distance forward from the rear end of the protruding portion 100 of the cap body 91, thereby forming the recessed portion 80. The predetermined distance is, for example, 1 mm.

[0070] 6, recess 80 is configured so that distance W1 from the front end of partition 2D to the rear end of protrusion 100 is smaller than distance W2 from the front end of partition 2D to the rear end of mounting member 30. The difference between distances W1 and W2 corresponds to the above-mentioned predetermined dimension. Note that the same explanation of distances W1 and W2 applies even if partition 2D is used as opening periphery 2C.

[0071] As a result, the surface extending in the vertical direction in the recessed portion 80 is composed of the cut surface of the first shaft portion 43 at the first corner portion 41 and the cut surface of the second shaft portion 46 at the second corner portion 44. The surface extending in the vertical direction in the recessed portion 80 corresponds to the rear end of the mounting member 30 at a position overlapping with the partition body 2D or the opening peripheral portion 2C.

[0072] At both ends of the mounting member 30 in the vertical direction, the extension portion 30 is cut out in the vertical direction in the area that overlaps with the opening peripheral portion 2C or the partition body 2D when viewed in the normal direction of the opening 2B, in other words, when viewed from the front of the storage body 2, to form a recessed portion 80.

[0073] [1-2. Operation] 6, for the sake of explanation, a part of the sealing member 50 is omitted, but as shown in FIG. 5, the sealing member 50 is provided up to a position where it covers the heater cover portion 97 of the cap member 90.

[0074] 5 and 6, when the door 4 is closed from an open state, the first cover portion 102 or the first seal portion 61 first abuts against the storage cabinet main body 2. Next, the first cover portion 102 is deformed so as to be crushed, and the door 4 approaches further toward the storage cabinet main body 2. Next, the storage cabinet main body 2 and the protrusion 100 collide via the first cover portion 102. Because the protrusion 100 is made of a hard material, the protrusion 100 does not deform, and the door 4 does not approach the storage cabinet main body 2 any further.

[0075] Since the distance W1 from the front end of the partition body 2D to the rear end of the protrusion 100 is smaller than the distance W2 from the front end of the partition body 2D to the rear end of the mounting member 30, the protrusion 100 can prevent collision between the storage body 2 and the mounting member 30.

[0076] 6 shows a state in which adhesive portion 16 of main body sealing member 15 is not attached to storage cabinet main body 2. When door 4 is closed, expansion / contraction portion 17 expands toward storage cabinet main body 2, and adhesive portion 16 adheres to storage cabinet main body 2 by magnetic force, sealing storage chamber 2A.

[0077] When the door 4 is closed, after the storage cabinet main body 2 and the protrusion 100 collide, the first cover part 102 returns to its original shape due to elastic force, and the expansion / contraction part 17 expands, causing the adhesive part 16 to adhere tightly to the storage cabinet main body 2. Note that the order of the deformation of the first cover part 102 and the adhesion of the adhesive part 16 may be any order. The first cover part 102 and the protrusion part 100 are arranged so as not to come into contact with each other, and when the first cover part 102 collides with the storage body 2, the first cover part 102 is crushed and deformed, causing the first cover part 102 and the protrusion part 100 to come into contact with each other.

[0078] As a result, the energy of the collision is dissipated by the deformation of the first cover portion 102. Furthermore, because the first cover portion 102 is made of a soft material, it functions as a buffer for the protrusion 100. This makes it possible to prevent a collision between the mounting member 30 and the storage body 2, or to reduce the impact of the collision, even when the door 4 is slammed shut. Note that even if the partition 2D in FIG. 6 is replaced with the opening periphery 2C, the same effect as described above can be achieved. In this case, the distance W1 is defined as the distance from the front end of the opening periphery 2C to the rear end of the protrusion 100.

[0079] [1-3. Effects, etc.] As described above, the storage cabinet 1 in this embodiment comprises a storage cabinet main body 2 and a double-door 4 provided at the opening 2B of the storage cabinet main body 2, mounting members 30 provided on the side surfaces 4B that are the opposing surfaces of each of the opposing doors 4, sealing members 50 provided on the mounting members 30, and cap members 90 that cover the ends of the mounting members 30 and the sealing members 50, and the cap member 90 has a protrusion 100 that bulges out toward the opening peripheral portion 2C or partition body 2D at a position facing the opening peripheral portion 2C or partition body 2D of the opening 2B when the door 4 is closed, and the protrusion 100 is positioned closer to the opening peripheral portion 2C or partition body 2D than the mounting members 30. According to this configuration, when the door 4 is closed, the protrusion 100 hits the opening periphery 2C or the partition 2D before the mounting member 30. Therefore, damage to the members attached to the door 4 can be suppressed.

[0080] The cap member 90 also comprises a cap body 91 on which a convex portion 100 is formed, and a covering portion 92, and the covering portion 92 covers the portion of the cap body 91 opposite to the side facing the mounting member 30, and comprises a first cover portion 102 (buffer portion) located between the opening peripheral portion 2C or the partition body 2D and the convex portion 100 when the door 4 is closed, and may be made of a material softer than the cap body 91. According to this configuration, the opening peripheral portion 2C or the partition 2D collides with the protrusion 100 via the first cover portion 102, which is softer than the protrusion 100. Therefore, the impact of the collision can be suppressed, and damage to members attached to the door 4 can be suppressed.

[0081] Furthermore, the first cover portion 102 may be formed so as to be inclined toward the opening peripheral edge portion 2C or the partition body 2D side when the door 4 is closed. According to this configuration, when the opening peripheral portion 2C or the partition 2D collides with the protrusion 100 via the covering portion 92, the collision occurs from the tip of the inclined first cover portion 102. Therefore, the elastic deformation of the covering portion 92 reduces the impact of the collision, and damage to members attached to the door 4 can be reduced.

[0082] In addition, an attachment portion 94 that protrudes toward the attachment member 30 is formed on the side 4B of the cap member 90, and the attachment portion 94 has a claw portion 95 that protrudes toward the side 4B, and the attachment member 30 may have an attachment receiving portion 96 on which the claw portion 95 hooks when the cap member 90 is attached. According to this configuration, the claw portion 95 catches on the attached portion 96, restricting the movement of the cap member 90 in the direction along the side surface 4B of the door 4. Therefore, the cap member 90 is sufficiently fixed.

[0083] (Other embodiments) As described above, the above-mentioned first embodiment has been described as an example disclosed in the present application. However, the technology in the present disclosure is not limited to this, and can be applied to embodiments in which modifications, substitutions, additions, omissions, etc. are made. Furthermore, it is also possible to combine the components described in the above-mentioned first embodiment to create new embodiments. Therefore, other embodiments will be exemplified below.

[0084] In the embodiment described above, the recessed portions 80 are formed by cutting out the extending portions 35 at predetermined lengths along the up-down and front-rear directions at both ends in the up-down direction of the mounting member 30. However, this is not limiting, and the recessed portions 80 may be formed when the mounting member 30 is molded such that the extending portions 35 are recessed at predetermined lengths along the up-down and front-rear directions at both ends in the up-down direction of the mounting member 30.

[0085] In the above-described embodiment, the storage cabinet 1 is a four-door upright refrigerator, but it is not limited to this and may be applied to refrigerators such as under-counter refrigerators and household refrigerators having multiple storage compartments separated by partitions or the like. For example, the storage cabinet 1 may be a single-door refrigerator. For example, the storage cabinet 1 does not need to include the refrigeration device 81. The cap member 90 having the protrusion 100 of the present disclosure is also suitable for a single-door storage cabinet. The protrusion 100 of the cap member 90 can absorb impact on components located closer to the front of the door than the protrusion 100, thereby preventing damage to components attached to the single door.

[0086] It should be noted that the above-described embodiments are intended to illustrate the technology of the present disclosure, and various modifications, substitutions, additions, omissions, etc. may be made within the scope of the claims or their equivalents.

[0087] (Addendum) The above description of the embodiments discloses the following techniques.

[0088] (Technology 1) A storage facility comprising a storage body, double-hinged doors provided at an opening of the storage body, mounting members provided on the opposing surfaces of each of the opposing doors, sealing members provided on the mounting members, and cap members covering the ends of the mounting members and the sealing members, wherein the cap members have a protrusion that bulges out toward the peripheral edge of the opening at a position facing the peripheral edge when the doors are closed, and the protrusion is positioned closer to the peripheral edge than the mounting members. With this configuration, when the door is closed, the protrusion collides with the peripheral edge before the mounting member does, thereby preventing damage to the member attached to the door.

[0089] (Technology 2) The storage facility described in Technology 1, wherein the cap member comprises a cap body on which the convex portion is formed and a covering portion, the covering portion covering the portion of the cap body opposite to the side facing the mounting member, the covering portion comprising a buffer portion located between the peripheral portion and the convex portion when the door is closed, and the buffer portion being made of a material softer than the cap body. With this configuration, the peripheral edge and the protrusion collide via the buffer portion, which is softer than the protrusion, thereby reducing the impact of the collision and preventing damage to the member attached to the door.

[0090] (Technology 3) A storage facility according to Technology 1 or 2, wherein the buffer section is formed so as to be inclined toward the peripheral edge section when the door is closed. With this configuration, when the peripheral edge and the protrusion collide with each other through the covering, the collision occurs first at the tip of the inclined buffer part, and the elastic deformation of the covering part reduces the impact of the collision, thereby reducing damage to the member attached to the door.

[0091] (Technology 4) A storage facility described in any one of technologies 1 to 3, wherein an attachment portion that protrudes toward the attachment member is formed on the opposing surface of the cap member, the attachment portion having a claw portion that protrudes toward the opposing surface, and the attachment member is formed with an attachment receiving portion onto which the claw portion hooks when the cap member is attached. According to this configuration, the claw portion catches on the attachment portion, restricting movement of the cap member in a direction along the opposing surface of the door, thereby ensuring sufficient fixation of the cap member.
