Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a refrigerator in which such a brightness as one facilitating various visible works is ensured glaring at a light source is eliminated, foods are aesthetically delicious and lighting to cause the inside part of the refrigerator to be visibly clean. CONSTITUTION:A connected lamp 3 is mounted at an operator's side over an entire length from a left end of a ceiling part 1 in a refrigerator or a tray 5 to its right end. As the connecting lamp a lamp having a valve for absorbing the power spectrum of 570 to 590nm is provided. With such an arrangement, it is possible to improve a visible workability within the refrigerator such as a refrigerator chamber or a freezer chamber of the refrigerator and to cause the foods to be aesthetically delicious.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a refrigerator having a lighting function for improving the visual workability in a refrigerator such as a refrigerator or a freezer and for making food look delicious.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a refrigerator output is a low output light bulb.
One (two at most) was installed on the back wall, which provided visual workability inside the warehouse.

The purpose of lighting the inside of the refrigerator is to improve the visual workability inside the refrigerator and to make the inside of the refrigerator comfortable. In other words, regarding the former, the brightness is ensured so that various visual tasks such as searching for food, taking foods in and out, and reading food labels can be facilitated, and the light source is not dazzling, and regarding the latter, Needs to light up the food so that it looks colorful and looks delicious inside. Select a light source to meet the above lighting requirements,
You need to attach a light source.

[0004]

However, the conventional refrigerator lighting has a low output (about 10 W) such as a sewing machine ball because of the storage of various equipment such as the cooling equipment in the refrigerator and the heat resistance of the components in the refrigerator. ) Is a poor one with the light source embedded in the back wall of the refrigerator, so the current refrigerator is
There were problems such as the light source being dazzling, the food and its display were dark and invisible, the food in the refrigerator seemed to be that way, and the interior was dismal and unclean.

The present invention solves these problems by ensuring a brightness that facilitates various visual tasks, eliminating the glare of the light source, making food look colorful and delicious, and cleaning the interior of the refrigerator. The purpose is to illuminate to show.

[0006]

The present invention is a refrigerator in which a connecting lamp and a shield plate are installed over the entire length from the left end to the right end of a ceiling or tray in a refrigerator.

Further, the refrigerator is characterized in that a lamp having a reduced power spectrum in the wavelength range of 570 to 590 nm is installed in the refrigerator.

[0008]

According to the present invention, by the above-mentioned means, the brightness for facilitating various visual work is secured, the dazzling of the light source is eliminated, the food looks colorful and delicious, and the inside of the refrigerator looks clean.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A refrigerator lighting device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1) Embodiment 1 of the present invention is shown in FIG. In FIGS. 1A and 1B, the ceiling 1 and the wall 2 are made of a material having a high reflective diffusion property so that the reflected image of the light source is not dazzling. The connection type lamp 3 is a connection type lamp having the same length as the width of the inside of the refrigerator. The reflector 4 is a thin plate that shields the light source so that it cannot be directly seen by the user. Glare can be suppressed by setting the brightness of light passing through the reflector when the lamp is turned on to be less than 1100 cd / m ² .

The transmitted light may be obtained by covering the light source with a diffusion plate instead of the reflection plate. Also in this case,
Glare can be suppressed by making it possible to obtain light having a brightness of less than 1100 cd / m ² through the diffusion plate.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the connection type light source of the connection type lamp 3. A plurality of inner valves 6 are arranged in the outer valve 8 and sealed by a base 9. The inner wire 6 is evacuated to prevent the tungsten wire 7 from burning. The inner bulb 6 can be regarded as one bulb so far, and if it is lit, it has the same effect as that of connecting a plurality of small bulbs in series. However, connecting a large number of small light bulbs in series is poor in safety, and the number of steps of assembling parts in the factory increases. On the other hand, this connection type lamp can be incorporated in one step, and by changing the composition of the outer bulb 8, the same effect as changing the composition of a large number of light sources at one time can be obtained. When you want to make food and its ingredients look delicious,
It is preferable to use the outer bulb 8 having a composition that absorbs the power spectrum of 570 to 590 nm. Regarding this wavelength range, we conducted an evaluation experiment using a lamp with a bulb that absorbs various power spectrum ranges, and found that absorbing 570 to 590 nm is the most effective in improving the taste of food. Reveals.

The function of the refrigerator according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described below in order. Since the light emitted from the connection type lamp 3 is reflected in the inner direction of the interior by the reflection plate 4, the user does not see the light source directly and is not dazzled at all. The connection type lamp 3 is a line light source that extends from one end to the other end of the refrigerator as described above. Therefore, compared to the conventional point light source, the light diffusivity and the uniformity are higher, the food and the hand are less likely to be shaded, and an illumination environment with good visual workability can be realized.
In addition, since the linked lamp 3 is a linked light source, the luster and glitter of the food is increased, and the food, meat, vegetables and other materials look more delicious. Outer bulb 8 of connected lamp 3
With something that absorbs the power spectrum from 570 to 590 nm, the food looks very tasty. As shown in FIG. 1, the connection type lamp is attached to the ceiling or the front part of the tray so that the relationship between the food and the light source does not become "backlight" as referred to in the photographic technique, the food is easy to see, and the light source is not dazzling.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, it is possible to improve the visual workability in a refrigerator such as a refrigerator or a freezer and to make food look delicious.
