A door packing assembly.

In general, in the case of Korea, which uses rice as a staple food, various kinds of seasonings are added to vegetables such as cabbage or radish, and then foods of dim vegetables that are matured appropriately have been developed. Among these dim vegetables, kimchi is a fermented food that has been soaked for a long time, and a large amount of kimchi was stored in the cold winter and then taken out little by little. It was difficult to store kimchi in hot summer when there was no refrigerator, but with the advent of electric refrigerators it was possible to store kimchi for longer periods in summer.

However, in the case of the refrigerator, the kimchi is gradually rancidized in the process of frequently opening and closing, so that the ripe taste cannot be maintained as it is, and the freshness is lowered. In order to solve such a problem, kimchi storage that can be preserved for a long time by kimchi appropriately ripened according to seasons and preferences and then cooled to low temperature has been widely used.

Figure 1 shows the external structure of such kimchi storage. An operation panel 12 is attached to the front side of the kimchi storage 10 to select and enter the ripening conditions of kimchi or the taste of kimchi. In addition, the inside of the kimchi storage (10) is provided with an inner container (13) that can put a number of kimchi barrel 14, it is possible to be stored refrigerated variously depending on the type or degree of ripening kimchi.

The upper part of the kimchi storage 10 is rotatably mounted by the hinge 16 by the door 16 which opens and closes when the kimchi container 14 is put into an inner container or the kimchi container 14 is taken out from it. In addition, the inner wall of the door 18 is provided with a filter assembly (30), which is equipped with a deodorant (32) for removing the smell of kimchi or various odors in the storehouse, the inner container (30) 13) The door packing assembly 20 for maintaining close contact with the upper end is fitted.

The door packing assembly 20 has a rectangular frame shape as shown in FIG. 2, and the filter assembly 30 is fitted therein. A plurality of fastening holes 26 are formed at each edge of the door packing assembly 20, and the door packing assembly 20 is installed on the inner side of the door 18 using fasteners such as screws (not shown). It becomes possible.

Next, FIG. 3 shows a conventional structure of the door packing assembly 20 shown in FIG. As shown here, the door packing assembly 20 has a gasket holder 24 fixed to the inner side of the door 18 by screws inserted into two parts, that is, fastening holes 26, and the locking projections. The door gasket 22 is coupled to the gasket holder 24 by a coupling method.

Among them, the gasket holder 24 is formed integrally with the main body 24a fixed to the inner surface of the door 18, and is integrally formed with the main body 24a, and hangs with the engaging protrusion 22b of the door gasket 22. It consists of an engaging portion 24b to be fitted. In addition, the door gasket 22 is inserted into the engaging portion 24b of the gasket holder 24 and the height retaining portion 22a for providing an elastic force to the cushioning portion 12d by maintaining a constant interval, and is engaged with each other. Group 22b and a close contact portion (feather portion) 22c for tightly fixing the upper end of the inner container 13 to maintain airtightness.

In the conventional door packing assembly of the Kimchi storage having such a configuration, the contact portion 22c of the door gasket 22 is worn or damaged in severe cases during long-term use, and thus the adhesiveness is lowered, whereby cold air in the interior leaks to the outside and It is not able to maintain the target value, or due to the inflow of outside air, the kimchi is rancidated, and thus the marketability of the kimchi is degraded.

The present invention for solving this problem is to increase the strength of the close contact portion corresponding to the collar portion of the door gasket to prevent wear and damage caused by long-term use, to minimize the temperature change through maintaining the air tightness in the kimchi of The purpose of the present invention is to provide a Kimchi storage door packing assembly that can maintain freshness for a long time.
