Description

Kim-Chi refrigerator having a Negative ion-generator and air cleaner}

The present invention relates to a kimchi reservoir equipped with an anion generator and an air cleaner, and more particularly, to install an anion generator across the upper door and the machine room, and to install an air cleaner on one side of the upper door to generate the anion. The negative ions generated by the device force convection of the air in the storage compartment, and the flow of the forced convection allows the air to be purified through the air cleaner, thereby minimizing the upper and lower temperature deviations in the storage compartment and In addition to the accompanying ozone, the deodorizing effect can be obtained, and anion generator and air cleaner are installed to maintain the freshness of kimchi for a long time by the action of anion and fresh air that has been cleaned of dust and foreign substances by the air cleaner. It is about Kimchi storage.

As it is well known, Kimchi storage has been developed for the purpose of aging and keeping fresh kimchi using only cooling system and heater. After ripening, it is configured to maintain a proper temperature to preserve the taste of ripe kimchi for a long time.

Such kimchi storage is generally configured to open and close the retractable upper door to the upper side in a state rotatably fixed through the hinge on the upper surface of the main body.

That is, the kimchi storage is predominantly the method is provided with an upper opening and closing storage compartment for storing the kimchi by opening the upper door, but in recent years has also been adopted to store the kimchi using a drawer method.

Furthermore, a mixed kimchi storage using a top storage method and a drawer type storage method with a top open / close door as described above may be developed and used.

Here, looking at the configuration of the conventional kimchi storage having a conventional upper door opening type as follows.

That is, as shown in Figure 1, two storage compartments (4) are usually divided above the main body (1) of the kimchi storage forming the appearance, two upper doors (2) for opening and closing the two storage compartments (4) ) Is hinged to the upper end of the rear surface of the main body 1 so as to open and close upward.

In the lower part of the storage chamber 4, a mechanical chamber 3, in which a compressor 5 and a condenser 6, etc. for cooling cycles are arranged, is separately divided.

The storage pipe 4 is surrounded by a refrigerant pipe 7 for supplying cold air through a direct cooling method at regular intervals, and the refrigerant pipe 7 is a compressor 5 of the machine room 3. And the condenser 6 are respectively connected to circulate the refrigerant.

In addition, a heating wire 8 is provided below the refrigerant pipe 7 surrounding the circumference of the storage compartment 4 to provide a constant temperature when the kimchi is aged in the storage compartment 4.

Of course, the control of all operations of the kimchi storage is to be made in a controller (not shown) provided in the front of the main body 1, the heat insulating material (9) through the foam molding to the part requiring heat insulation inside the main body (1) It is possible to get a thermal insulation effect by putting a lamp.

In the conventional kimchi storage configured as described above, kimchi is stored using a separate kimchi container not shown in the storage room 4, and then aged and stored through temperature control of the storage room 4.

At this time, the temperature control in the storage chamber 4 maintains the desired temperature through heating the hot wire 8 together with the cold air using the cooling system.

However, in the kimchi storage system employing the direct cooling method as described above, the method of transferring cold air into the storage chamber 4 of the kimchi storage system depends on conduction or natural convection. In the part, temperature difference occurs between the part where the refrigerant pipe 7 passes and the part that is not, and the natural convection causes the low-temperature, low-density air to descend, and the high-density, low-density air circulates upward. Upper and lower temperature deviations occur in the storage room.

The upper and lower temperature deviations in the storage compartment 4 appear as subtle differences in the taste of kimchi as the ripening and storage conditions of the kimchi vary depending on the kimchi located above and below the storage compartment 4 in the process of ripening and storing the kimchi. There was a problem.

Therefore, in order to reduce the upper and lower temperature deviations in the storage chamber 4, it is preferable to distribute the cold air evenly. However, as described above, the air is simply dependent on the conduction or natural convection of the cold air. It was.

In addition, during the opening and closing of the door of the kimchi storage, there is a problem that the outside polluted air flows into the storage compartment 4, and dust or foreign matter remains in the storage compartment.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to install an anion generator across the upper door and the machine room, and to install an air cleaner on one side of the upper door, in the anion generator The condensation of the air in the storage chamber through the negative ions generated, and by the flow of the forced convection to allow the air to be purified through the air cleaner, to minimize the temperature deviation between the top and bottom of the storage chamber and negative In addition to the accompanying ozone, the deodorizing effect can be obtained, and the kimchi equipped with an anion generator and an air cleaner that can maintain freshness of kimchi for a long time by the action of anion and fresh air filtered with dust or foreign substances by an air cleaner The purpose is to provide a storage.
