The installation base plate 55 of LED51a~53b is fixed in order to avoid since the vibration of refrigerator 1 leads to irradiating angle Change and be fixed on by screw 56 the outgoing face 54a of cover component 54.Moreover, the circuit of installation base plate 55 in order to prevent is short Road and the back side of cover component 54 is covered with sealing element 57.
Light emitting device 5 according to LED51a~53b optical axis, that is, emergent light axis Ax with respect to the horizontal plane H with angle, θ towards under The angle of side, the top for being incorporated in the back face wall 33 of vegetable compartment 15 are (more upper than the center of the vertical direction of vegetables containing box 4 Part).Angle, θ is 5~85 ° as described later, preferably 10~45 ° of range.
In structural example shown in Fig. 5, in order to make the emergent light axis Ax of LED51a~53b with respect to the horizontal plane H inclination Overleaf wall 33 forms inclined mounting surface 33a, the mounting light emitting device 5 on mounting surface 33a.
But, it is not limited to structure shown in fig. 5, as long as can make the emergent light axis Ax of LED51a~53b relative to Horizontal plane H inclination.For example, can be as shown in fig. 7, by having the LED of the shell shape of long lead (pin) 58 to be constituted LED51a~53b, and make each lead 58 with respect to the horizontal plane H tilt angle theta.
Alternatively, it is also possible to as shown in figure 8, being fixed with the installation base plate 55a of LED51a, 51b, being fixed with LED52a, 52b Installation base plate 55b, the installation base plate 55c for being fixed with LED53a, 53b are made of different components respectively, and are respectively arranged in branch Hold the inclined surface of substrate 59.
If it is the structure of Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, do not need to keep light emitting device 5 integral inclined.Therefore, have and do not need to be thinned The wall (declining thermal insulation) of the back face wall 33 of vegetable compartment 15 stores vegetables containing box 4 moreover, also not needing to reduce The advantages of space.
Fig. 9 is the figure for indicating the circuit structure of light emitting device 5.As shown in figure 9, LED51a~53b is parallel to DC (direct current) The voltage source of 2V~15V.Moreover, being separately connected microcomputer 101,102,103 in each LED group 51,52,53.That is, LED51a, 51b are shone and flowing through the electric current of 10~50mA using microcomputer 101.LED52a, 52b pass through utilization Microcomputer 102 makes the electric current of 10~50mA flow through and shine.LED53a, 53b by make 10 using microcomputer 103~ The electric current of 50mA is flowed through and is shone.
The function for vegetables is stored in advance according to the colors (i.e. respectively about red, blue and green) of LED in control unit 20 The effective light quantity of activation of energy and the combination of irradiation time.The combination of light quantity and irradiation time of the control unit 20 based on storage comes Drive microcomputer 101,102,103.
It should be noted that the electric current for flowing to each LED is that 10~50mA is smaller therefore highly-safe.Moreover, because according to Each group (each LED group 51,52,53) controls LED51a~53b, therefore can reduce the port number of microcomputer, Neng Goujian Change control unit 20.
Next, the effect of light irradiation of the explanation based on light emitting device 5.Firstly, illustrating that photosynthesis is reacted.Photosynthesis reaction When being indicated by chemical formula, indicated as formula below (1).
6CO2+12H2O+688kcal→C6H12O6+6H2O+6O2…(1)
In formula (1), CO2For carbon dioxide, H2O is water, O2For oxygen.688kcal is luminous energy, C6H12O6For glucose.It should Reaction is divided into light reaction and the unfavorable dark reaction with luminous energy using luminous energy.
Light reaction is that luminous energy is changed into the reaction of chemical energy, and at this stage, carbon dioxide is unutilized, chlorophyll etc. Water decomposition is hydrogen and oxygen using luminous energy by pigment, accumulates chemical energy by the effect of zymoprotein.On the other hand, dark anti- Ying Zhong, using the carbon dioxide in the hydrogen and atmosphere generated by light reaction come synthesis of glucose.Vegetable after glucose increase The storage characteristics of dish improve, and generate vitamin C.
Preferably in 1, using red light, green light and blue light, they are respectively provided with effect.Red light is vegetable The high wavelength of the absorptivity of the chlorophyll of dish is absorbed on the surface of leaf and is utilized in photosynthesis.Green light is green due to leaf The absorptivity of element is low, therefore infiltrates into the inside of leaf, and reflection is repeated and is absorbed, is utilized in photosynthesis.Blue light Carbon dioxide is taken into and sharp as the signal for transmitting the situation of illuminated light to vegetables, and in order to open stomata With.By above-mentioned effect, photosynthesis shown in formula (1) can efficiently be promoted to react.
The vegetables for being accommodated in the hope irradiation light in the vegetables of lower tank 41 are the leaf vegetables such as spinach, rape and cabbage Vegetables.On the other hand, it is undesirable to which the vegetables of irradiation light are such as potato.Leaf vegetables vegetables and potato are all placed on lower tank 41 Bottom surface sections 41e on, but potato is lower than the height of leaf vegetables vegetables.
Therefore, by the way that the angle, θ of the emergent light axis Ax of light emitting device 5 is set as 5~85 ° (more preferably 10~45 °), Can be to wishing vegetables (leaf vegetables vegetables) irradiation light of irradiation light, and avoid to being not intended to the vegetables (potato) of irradiation light to irradiate Light.
It should be noted that in the region that large-scale PET bottle 201 etc. is stored in the setting of the front of lower tank 41, but It is the influence that the storage item stored in the region not will receive light irradiation, therefore will not influence the setting of angle, θ.
Light emitting device 5 is preferably configured in than until the bottom surface sections 41e to the bottom surface sections 42e of upper tank 42 of lower tank 41 The center of height position against the top.If light emitting device 5 is configured so that, such as the leaf vegetables vegetables of the lengthwises such as spinach are stood In the case where acting the back part 41b for the being placed in lower tank 41 and center being placed on the bottom surface sections 41e of lower tank 41 that couches In the case where, it can be to the leaf vegetables vegetables irradiation light of the lengthwise.
Here, it is provided with the upper tank 42 as small vegetables box in the top of the lower tank 41 as big vegetables box, but Big vegetables box can be set in the top of small vegetables box upside down.It in this case, is not in the small of small vegetables box storage Vegetables roll into big vegetables box and it is not perceptible during occur it is corrupt.Moreover, big vegetables box is as small vegetables box Lid functions, therefore can inhibit the drying for not being finished vegetables also.In such manner, it is possible to globality improve and store in vegetable compartment 15 The quality of vegetables.
Next, the light irradiation control of the light emitting device 5 in the refrigerator 1 that explanation is constituted as previously discussed.Firstly, illustrating vegetable The concept of the activation of the function of dish.Biology has day-night rhythm more, i.e., is grown, plant as normal condition round the clock using existing It is unexceptional.Though be save in vegetables also grow, it is therefore desirable to provide with harvesting before in the same manner as irradiation light time-bands and The time tape alternation of irradiation light does not arrive i.e. in the presence of environment round the clock.
Therefore, light emitting device 5 makes lighting and extinguishing with certain rhythm repeatedly for LED.When the lighting time of LED and extinguishing Between be respectively 5 hours or more, preferably 5~15 hours.This is because if lighting and extinguishing repeatedly with too short circulation, It is dimmed before the biological synthetic functional activation based on light occurs, do not change compared with not irradiation light.
The case where irradiating blue light to plant is as the signal started to the irradiation of plant notice light, therefore plant is (herein For vegetables) open stomata and the carbon dioxide needed for being taken into biosynthesis in air.While irradiating blue light, irradiation promotees Into the vitamin C etc. of the chlorophyll activation and the generation of the glucose based on biological synthetic functional and accompanying this of vegetables The red light and green light of synthesis.
It should be noted that blue light it is weaker than red light and green light light quantity it is more effective.Therefore, the light quantity of blue light is excellent The 1/4 of each light quantity of red light and green light is selected as hereinafter, more preferably 1/5~1/10.It should be noted that making vegetables After stomata is opened, it is desirable to extinguish blue light.After light irradiation continue for certain time in this way, the LED of light emitting device 5 is put out It goes out.
Based on above point, illustrate the movement (light irradiation control) of light emitting device 5.Figure 10 indicates light emitting device 5 The flow chart of the process of movement.After the power supply of refrigerator 1 is switched on, the operation of operation panel 21 is controlled according to user Portion 20 starts the light mutually fitted with the day-night rhythm of vegetables irradiation control (step S1).First, it is determined that whether being currently that should carry out light The time-bands (band in the daytime) (step S2) of irradiation.
It is that the judgement of band or night band in the daytime uses the 24 hours timers progress for being set to control unit 20.For example, by 6 Point~18 point are redefined for band in the daytime, will be redefined for night band in addition to this.In the daytime the timing of band and the night band can According to seasonal variations.For example, can be set as, in the period of the Summer Solstice, band longest in the daytime, in the period of Winter Solstice, band is most in the daytime It is short.Moreover, here, band will be combined and be set as 24 hours with night band in the daytime, but its length can suitably change.
In step s 2, in the case where being judged as currently is band in the daytime, control unit 20 opens the light irradiation of day mode. That is, starting simultaneously at the irradiation of the red light based on LED51a, 51b, the irradiation of green light based on LED52a, 52b and being based on The irradiation (step S3) of the blue light of LED53a, 53b.As described above, red light and green light are suitable for the function of vegetables The light of activation, blue light are the light as the triggering for the stomata for opening vegetables.Also, control unit 20 starts for example based on timer Day mode time measure (step S4).
The stomata that the irradiation of blue light based on LED53a, 53b the carries out vegetables time required until opening, such as 10 points More than clock, after the time, LED53a, 53b are extinguished into (step S5).Then, the warp from day mode is obtained Time (step S6) is crossed, when reaching preset day mode upper limit time by the time (step S7), is changed into night Mode and by LED51a, 51b, 52a, 52b extinguish (step S8).Whole LED51a~53b extinguishes as a result, and night mode is opened Begin.
Control unit 20 starts the time measurement of such as night mode based on timer along with the beginning of night mode (step S9).Then, it obtains and passes through time (step S10) from night mode, preset when reaching by the time Night mode upper limit time when (step S11), return to above-mentioned step S3 and start day mode light irradiation.
