The present invention relates to a refrigerating container configured so that temperature can be controlled.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventional refrigerating containers, including large refrigerating warehouses and small household refrigerators, are all simply cooled by a cooling device in order to keep the temperature inside the refrigerating container at a constant low temperature. There was a lack of consideration for maintaining the biological activity of the refrigerated items in the refrigeration container. Therefore, fresh vegetables, fish meat, etc. in the refrigerating container are merely protected from the growth of bacteria by cooling and are not affected by the effect of maintaining biological activity. It was not possible to prevent death due to the cause of the above and deterioration due to chemical changes.

As for a refrigerating container for low-temperature fermentation and the like, a facility for activating fungi such as yeast is required for aging of fermented foods, but there is no refrigerating container that meets the requirement.

Further, since the cooling unit of the cooling device is usually installed on the wall surface of the refrigerating container or the like, the floor area for storing the object to be refrigerated is sacrificed, and the object to be refrigerated is The volume to put in was reduced.

Further, the conventional refrigerating container does not have a vertical partition inside, and when refrigerating various kinds of objects to be refrigerated, there is no device for separately controlling the temperature according to the property of the objects to be refrigerated. It was

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The problem to be solved is that the object to be refrigerated in the refrigerating container must be refrigerated while maintaining its biological activity in order to preserve foods and to mature low-temperature fermented foods. The volume of the refrigerating container that can store the items to be refrigerated must be as large as possible. In addition, different refrigerating temperatures in the refrigerating container have to be controlled according to the various refrigerating items.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and refrigerates foods, etc. and preserves the refrigerated foods in a refrigerating container while maintaining biological activity for preservation of foods and aging of low-temperature fermented foods. It is necessary to make the volume of the part that can be formed as large as possible, to refrigerate at a refrigerating temperature that is appropriate according to the properties of the refrigerated object, and to make it possible to maintain the same temperature in the refrigerating container. The purpose is to cool the cooling system by burying the lower half of the refrigerating container in the ground or by filling it with earth, and placing the remaining upper half in the ground. The cooling unit is arranged in a plane near the ceiling of the refrigerating container, and the interior of the refrigerating container can be divided vertically into a plurality of compartments by a partitioning device such as a curtain. Temperature can be controlled for each branch Sea urchin is a refrigerated container constructed.

[0008]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, the lower half of the refrigerating container is buried in the ground, or the earth is piled up so that the remaining upper half of the refrigerating container is placed above the ground. Foods to be refrigerated are stored fresh, and even when the foods are aged by low-temperature fermentation, fungi such as yeasts are satisfactorily propagated by the activation of the above-mentioned life activity.

The reason for this is not fully explained in the current science, but the lower half of the refrigerating container is the toroidal magnetic field line existing in the earth, that is, the closed loop inside the earth. The part of the refrigerating container that is exposed above the ground is affected by the poloidal magnetic field lines that pass through the air from near the North Pole to near the South Pole of the earth. Therefore, since the lower half and the upper half of the refrigerating container are affected by the different magnetic field lines, a special energy is produced vertically in the refrigerating container, which has a biological activating effect on the object to be refrigerated. As a result, fresh vegetables, etc. are stimulated in their vital activities to maintain their freshness for a long time, and fresh fish, meat, etc., are vitalized in the cells due to the above-mentioned energy to activate their vitality. In addition to keeping the temperature, it is expected to bring good results to the aging of foods by low temperature fermentation.

However, whether the explanation is right or wrong, according to the result of the experiment, two refrigerating containers of the same scale are prepared, the lower half of one refrigerating container is buried in the soil, and the other refrigerating container is stored. When the containers are installed on the ground and the conditions such as temperature and humidity in both containers are kept exactly the same, the items to be refrigerated in each refrigerating container will be exposed to the eyes for 1 to 2 days. The difference clearly appears, and the objects to be refrigerated in the refrigerating container with the lower half of the refrigerating container buried in the soil maintain a much higher freshness, and also in the aging of food by low temperature fermentation. The same good result was obtained.

Next, by arranging the cooling unit of the cooling device in a plane shape near the ceiling of the refrigerating container, it is possible to increase the storage volume of the object to be refrigerated in the refrigerating container as much as possible, and The inside of the storage container is configured to be vertically divided into a plurality of compartments by a partitioning device such as a curtain, and the cooling unit of the cooling device is configured to control the temperature of each of the compartments. It has the effect that it can be refrigerated separately at an appropriate temperature depending on the properties of, or can be kept at the same temperature.
