The invention relates to a deodorizer.

For example, a refrigerator used as a device for low-temperature storage of food keeps the stored product at a low temperature by continuously blowing cold air into a sealed room, where the odor generated once is continuously circulated without being removed. As a result, the stored food may be damaged or the user may be offended.

In addition, if a separate ventilation device is not provided even in a closet or a bathroom, the occurrence of odors due to the rise of temperature and humidity, and the generation of odors, are often caused by ruining a stored product.

Therefore, in a place where food or clothes are stored in a sealed room, a device for purifying air in a closed room that is circulated to store the stored goods without deterioration for a long period of time is required. There are two kinds of 'Infrared lamp for sterilization and deodorization of refrigerators' of Shinan Publication No. 93-3154 and 'Far infrared radiation device for refrigerators' of Publication No. 93-15212. The latter uses sterilization and odor removal using far infrared rays. However, far infrared rays are not used in the present invention because they are used for the purpose of preventing damage (rot) during long-term storage of food, and will be described in detail with respect to the former.
