Next, the operation of the circuit (2) in FIG. 1 will be explained while giving an example of the use of the refrigerator (1) of the present invention. For example, when a housewife is away from home, she can leave a message for her children when she returns home. That is, the cold storage compartment (6) of the refrigerator (1)
) and operate (for example, press) the recording switch (19) on the refrigerator compartment door (13) to send a message from the microphone (18) to the storage means (24) saying "The snack is in the refrigerator compartment." If you memorize it (during this time, press the recording switch (1)
9)), even if the child is away from home, if the child returns home later and operates the playback switch (20) (for example, presses it momentarily), the mother's message stored in the memory means (24) can be played back. Since the message is outputted from the storage means (24) and emitted as voice from the speaker (17), it is possible to instantly recognize that there is a snack in the refrigerator compartment (6). Therefore, there is no need to write a message on paper and paste it on the refrigerator (1).Also, if you include the location of the snack in the message, your child will not have to search inside the refrigerator (6) afterwards. During this time, leakage of cold air from the refrigerator compartment (6) can be reduced.

Also, if you store frozen food that is not to be eaten immediately in the freezer compartment (5) and store it in the storage means (24), you can freeze it by operating the playback switch (20) at any time thereafter. Since the food stored in the freezer compartment (5) can be checked and there is no need to open the freezer compartment door (12) to check, the leakage of cold air from the freezer compartment (5) can also be reduced in this respect.

Furthermore, if you store food in the refrigerator (6) and store the storage limit "by what date should you eat it" in the storage means (24), you will never forget the date and time when you stored the food. However, by subsequently operating the regeneration switch (20), the storage limit of the food concerned can be known, and the inconvenience of spoilage can be eliminated. That is, it can also be used as a warning means.

Incidentally, the information stored in the storage means (24) may be erased arbitrarily by providing a suitable reset switch.
It may also be configured to be erased at the same time as the playback ends. Furthermore, although the storage means (24) is constituted by a solid-state memory in the embodiment, it is not limited thereto, and may be, for example, one for recording on a magnetic tape.

(G) Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, arbitrary words can be stored in the storage means from the microphone installed in the refrigerator, and then reproduced at any time through the speaker installed in the refrigerator, so that it can be heard by people who come home while they are away. For example, it is possible to send a message that food is stored in the refrigerator, improving usability. Furthermore, by storing information about the food stored in the refrigerator in the storage means, it is possible to check the food inside the refrigerator without opening the refrigerator door, thereby reducing leakage of cold air from inside the refrigerator and improving cooling efficiency. In addition, it is also possible to issue a warning about the storage period of stored food, which further promotes the effective use of the refrigerator.
