냉장고의 급속 냉동장치{APPARATUS FOR QUICK FREEZING OF REFRIGERATOR}Quick freezer of refrigerator {APPARATUS FOR QUICK FREEZING OF REFRIGERATOR}

본 발명은 냉장고의 급속 냉동장치에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세히 설명하면 냉장고의 냉장실 내부에 이격부재를 장착하여 별도의 급속 냉동실을 구획하고, 증발기가 장착되어 냉기를 발생시키는 냉각실과 급속 냉동실을 관통하는 급속 냉기 안내유로에 별도의 제2송풍팬을 구비하여 냉동효율을 높일 수 있도록 하는 냉장고의 급속 냉동장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a quick freezing apparatus of a refrigerator, and more specifically, to a separate quick freezing compartment by mounting a spacer member inside a refrigerating compartment of a refrigerator, a quick evaporation chamber is mounted through a cooling chamber and a quick freezing chamber to generate cold air. The present invention relates to a quick freezing apparatus of a refrigerator having a second blower fan in a cold air guide passage to increase a freezing efficiency.

일반적으로 냉장고는 제빙용기 및 냉동식품을 설정된 온도하에서 보관하기 위한 냉동실과 냉장 대상물이 수납되는 냉장실로 구획되어 있고, 내부에 냉동사이클장치가 설치되어, 압축, 응축, 팽창, 증발의 냉동사이클로 순환되고, 순환회로중 증발기에서 외부의 열을 흡수하는 현상을 이용하여 내부를 냉동, 냉장 상태로 유지한다. 종래의 냉장고는 냉동실이 냉장실의 상부에 설치되어 있는 구조가 일반적이지만, 용량이 큰 대형 냉장고에는 냉장실과 냉동실이 좌우에 설치되어 보다 많은 양의 식품을 보관할 수 있도록 된 사이드 바이 사이드 타입(Side by side type)의 냉장고가 많이 사용된다.In general, the refrigerator is divided into a freezer compartment for storing ice-making containers and frozen foods at a set temperature, and a refrigerating compartment in which refrigeration objects are stored, and a refrigeration cycle device is installed therein, and is circulated in a refrigeration cycle of compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation. In order to keep the inside freezing and refrigeration, the evaporator absorbs heat from the outside of the circuit. Conventional refrigerators generally have a structure in which a freezer compartment is installed at the upper part of the refrigerator compartment, but a large refrigerator has side by side type in which a refrigerator compartment and a freezer compartment are installed on the left and right to store a larger amount of food. type) refrigerators are often used.

이와 같은 냉장고의 냉동사이클은 저온 저압의 가스 상태인 냉매를 압축시켜 고온 고압의 가스상태 냉매로 출력하는 압축기와, 상기 압축기로부터의 고온 고압의 가스 상태 냉매를 외부 공기에 의해 냉각 및 응축시켜 액화시키는 응축기와, 상기 응축기로부터의 고압 액체 상태의 냉매를 감압시켜 출력하는 모세관과, 상기 모세관으로부터 감압된 냉매를 유입하여 저압 상태에서 낮은 온도로 증발시켜 열을 흡수함으로써, 냉각시키는 증발기를 통하여 이루어진다.Such a refrigeration cycle of the refrigerator compresses a refrigerant in a low-temperature, low-pressure gas state and outputs it as a high-temperature, high-pressure gas state refrigerant, and liquefies by cooling and condensing the high-temperature and high-pressure gas state refrigerant from the compressor by external air. A condenser, a capillary tube for depressurizing and outputting a high-pressure liquid state refrigerant from the condenser, and an evaporator for cooling by absorbing heat by injecting the depressurized refrigerant from the capillary tube to a low temperature in a low pressure state.

특히, 간냉식 냉장고는 냉기를 토출시키기 위한 송풍팬을 구비하여 상기 증발기 주변의 냉기를 상기 냉동실 및 냉장실로 토출시켜 냉장고 내부를 냉각시키고, 상기 송풍팬 및 압축기의 구동을 제어하여 고내의 온도를 조절한다.In particular, the intercooled refrigerator includes a blower fan for discharging cold air to discharge cold air around the evaporator to the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment to cool the inside of the refrigerator, and to control the driving of the blower fan and the compressor to adjust the temperature in the refrigerator. .

상기 냉동실 및 냉장실 각각의 온도를 중심으로 온도 제어를 하는 냉장고에서는 상기 냉동실 및 냉장실에 냉기를 토출시키는 각각의 송풍팬을 독립적으로 구동 제어하여 상기 증발기 주위의 냉기를 냉동실 및 냉장실로 토출시킴으로써, 냉장고의 온도를 적정온도로 유지한다.In the refrigerator having temperature control based on the temperature of each of the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment, a driving fan for discharging cold air to the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment is independently driven to discharge cold air around the evaporator to the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment. Keep the temperature at the proper temperature.

In addition, the temperature range in which most of the moisture contained in the food is frozen is usually between -1 to -5 degrees, and the quality of the food is determined in this section, and the freezing time of this section must be rapidly frozen as short as possible. It will keep the best.

그러나, 종래 구조의 냉장고에는 냉동실 내부에 급속냉동을 하는 냉동실과 그 냉동실로의 냉기 공급이 별도로 이루어지지 않으므로, 냉동시키는 음식물의 맛과 영양성분이 떨어지는 단점이 발생된다.However, the refrigerator having the conventional structure does not separately supply the freezing chamber for quick freezing inside the freezer compartment and the cold air supply to the freezing chamber, which results in a disadvantage that the flavor and nutritional content of the frozen food are inferior.

상기한 바와 같은 점을 감안하여 안출한 본 발명의 목적은 냉장고의 냉동실에 별도의 공간으로 구획되어 저장된 음식물을 급속으로 냉동시켜 음식물의 맛과 영양성분이 떨어지지 않게 하는 냉장고의 급속 냉동장치를 제공함에 있다.The object of the present invention devised in view of the above point is to provide a quick freezing apparatus of the refrigerator which is partitioned into a separate space in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator to rapidly freeze the stored food so that the taste and nutrients of the food do not fall. have.
