The freezing chamber 4 is a storage chamber for freezing and storing articles, and the temperature inside the freezing chamber is generally set to a freezing temperature range, typically-23 ℃ to-15 ℃. In order to improve the state of the freeze storage, the minimum temperature may be set to any value between-30℃and-23 ℃.
In addition, the plurality of storage compartments of the refrigerator 1 are not limited to the above-described refrigerating compartment 2, temperature changing compartment 3, and freezing compartment 4, but may include compartments having other various functions.
In the present invention, the refrigerator 1 is further provided with a humidification chamber 100 (i.e., a storage chamber) for storing articles to be humidified, such as vegetables, fruits, and red wine. The control of the humidification chamber 100 to increase the humidity can maintain the freshness of vegetables, fruits, red wine, etc. stored in the humidification chamber 100. In the present invention, a system in which mist is sprayed by the humidifying device 110 is adopted as a high humidifying mechanism.
While fig. 1 shows an example in which the humidification chamber 100 is provided in the refrigerating chamber 2, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the humidification chamber 100 may be provided in the temperature change chamber 3 or may be provided as a separate chamber, for example.

In addition, a humidity sensor 117 may be provided at the bottom of the cover plate 102. The humidity sensor 117 detects the humidity in the humidification chamber 100, and transmits the detection result to the control portion of the refrigerator 1. The control unit of the refrigerator 1 controls the amount of spray, the size of spray particles, and the like of the atomizing element 112 via the element circuit board 113 based on the detection result of the humidity sensor 117.
The atomizing element 112 is an ultrasonic atomizing element, and has a water inlet and a spray outlet, not shown, which are in contact with water from the water tank 111, and supplies water to an ultrasonic vibrator in the atomizing element 112, and forms water mist by vibration of the ultrasonic vibrator, and directly ejects the water mist through the spray outlet. Further, from the viewpoint of preventing the atomizing element 112 from leaking water due to excessive water pressure from the water tank 111, the water pressure at the water inlet of the atomizing element 112 is preferably 3 cm water column or less. The particle diameter of the water mist sprayed from the atomizing element 112 is preferably 3 to 10 μm, more preferably 4 to 6 μm, so that dew condensation on the surface of the vegetable and fruit can be prevented from occurring, and the vegetable and fruit can be prevented from being rotten. The pore size of the micropores on the micropore plate of the atomizing element 112 may be determined based on the target particle size of the water mist.
As shown in fig. 3, a mist guide passage 118 is provided in the mist outlet of the atomizing element 112, the mist guide passage 118 is provided in a flat shape in the middle of the bottom surface of the cover plate 102, and a plurality of mist outlets 118a are provided at the end of the mist guide passage 118. The mist directly discharged from the atomizing element 112 through the atomizing ports is conducted through the mist guide passage 118, and then uniformly spread from the plurality of mist outlet openings 118a into the humidification chamber 100. In addition, the mist guide 118 may be detachably disposed, for example, by engaging with a catch formed on the bottom surface of the cover plate 102, at the mist outlet of the atomizing element 112 disposed on the bottom surface of the cover plate 102. The user can disassemble and assemble the mist guide 118 as desired. In addition, although 3 mist outlets 118a are formed at the end of the mist guide duct 118 in fig. 3, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a predetermined number of mist outlets 118a may be formed at the bottom and/or side of the mist guide duct 118 depending on the size of the humidification chamber 100 and the arrangement position of the mist guide duct 118, for example.
As described above, in embodiment 1, since the mist guide passage 118 is provided in the spray opening of the atomizing element 112, even when the volume of the humidification chamber 100 is large, the mist can be uniformly dispersed, and the mist can be prevented from being discharged smoothly due to the blocking or clogging of the spray opening of the atomizing element 112.
In embodiment 1, the cover plate 102 is a partition plate between the humidification chamber 100 and the upper interlayer chamber, and thus the space of the humidification chamber 100 can be increased. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and for example, a separate cover plate may be additionally provided as needed.
The water tank 111 is preferably provided to the cover 102 so as to be detachable from the cover 102, whereby a user can take out the water tank 111 to add water, thereby facilitating the water addition to the humidifying device 110. In addition, the water tank 111 may be formed integrally with the cover plate 102, that is, a recess for storing water is formed in the cover plate 102. In this case, a water filling port may be provided at the top of the recess, which is the water tank 111, and a cover may be provided at the water filling port. Thereby, the space occupied by the humidifying device 110 can also be reduced.
The above describes the example in which the humidifying device 110 has one water tank 111 and one atomizing element 112, respectively, but a plurality of water tanks 111 and/or a plurality of atomizing elements 112 may be provided as needed. For example, the humidifying device 110 may include one water tank 111 and a plurality of atomizing elements 112, and the one water tank 111 and the plurality of atomizing elements 112 are connected through a plurality of water supply paths 114.

As shown in fig. 7, a support member 419 is provided on the lower surface of the cover plate 102, and the humidifying device 410 is suspended below the cover plate 102 by being attached to the support member 419. The humidifying device 410 is located on the side of the humidification chamber 400, that is, on the side where the ice-making water tank 6 is provided. Here, the hanging manner of the humidifying device 410 is not particularly limited as long as the water tank 411 of the humidifying device 410 is provided at a position of 1/2 or more of the height of the humidification chamber 400. The water tank 411 of the humidifying device 410 is preferably provided above the ice-making water tank 6, and the width and depth of the water tank 411 may be set to be the same as the ice-making water tank 6 or different from the ice-making water tank 6 as needed, thereby making it possible to make full use of the upper space of the ice-making water tank 6 and to make the volume of the humidification chamber 400 larger.
Fig. 8 is an enlarged perspective view showing a schematic configuration of a humidifier 410 according to embodiment 4. As shown in fig. 8, an opening 411a is provided at the bottom of the side wall of the water tank 411 on the side of the humidification chamber 400, and an atomizing element 412 is provided on the side wall of the water tank 411 in such a manner that its water inlet corresponds to the opening 411a of the water tank 411. A spray opening 412b is formed in a housing 412a of the atomizing element 412 on the opposite side of the water tank 411. Further, a component circuit board 413 for controlling and supplying power to the atomizing element 412 is provided at a position on the inner side of the side wall of the water tank 411.
Although not shown, an opening is formed in the humidification chamber 400 at a position of 1/2 or more of the height of the side wall on the side of the humidifying device 410. The atomizing element 412 is provided such that the atomizing port 412b thereof corresponds to the opening of the humidification chamber 400, and the mist sprayed from the atomizing element 412 can reach the inside of the humidification chamber 400 through the opening of the humidification chamber 400 and a mist guide passage, not shown, to humidify the humidification chamber 400.
This can also uniformly spread the mist, and can prevent the mist from being discharged smoothly due to the blocking or clogging of the spray opening of the atomizing element 412, and the same effect as in embodiment 1 can be obtained.
In addition, as shown in fig. 9, the bottom surface of the water tank 411 may include an inclined surface 411b, and an opening 411a of the water tank 411 is provided at a position most downstream of the inclined surface 411b, so that water stored in the water tank 411 can be effectively supplied to the atomizing element 412. A handle 411c may be further provided at a front side of the water tank 411 to facilitate the user to take out the water tank 411.
The humidifying device 410 is not limited to being provided on one side of the humidification chamber 400, and for example, the humidifying device 410 may be provided on each of the left and right sides of the humidification chamber 400 as needed.
The present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and various other application examples and modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention described in the claims. For example, the above-described embodiments are for explaining the present invention in detail and explaining the structure of the apparatus and system specifically for easy understanding, and are not limited to the configuration necessary for the explanation. In addition, a part of the structure of one embodiment example may be replaced with the structure of another embodiment example, and the structure of another embodiment example may be added to the structure of one embodiment example. In addition, other structures may be added, deleted, or replaced to a part of the structures of the embodiments.
