Description

Refrigerator for fresh fish.

More particularly, the present invention relates to a refrigerator having a drawer-type water tank installed inside the refrigerator body, so that a live fish can be stored and displayed in a water tank in a restaurant or the like using live fish, The present invention relates to a fresh food storage refrigerator which can maintain freshness and can improve the freshness of living fish and can improve utilization of work and space.

The structure of a conventional aquarium is divided into two parts: a fish at the upper end of the aquarium, and a lower part containing the filtration device and a circulating pump. In particular, the live fish aquarium should be supplied with adequate amount of oxygen and adequate temperature for live fish to survive. The oxygen should be supplied from the bubble generator connected to the air pump, the feed water is forced to circulate as a pump, Or to exchange water in the aquarium all at regular intervals.

       However, such a bubble generator generates large bubbles belonging to a range of about 5 cm to 10 cm in diameter, so that the bubbles immediately float on the surface of the water immediately after the bubbles are generated, so that the amount of oxygen dissolved in contact with water is extremely small, In a large water tank or a water tube containing a lot of live fish, it was necessary to install several large-capacity bubble generators.

       The filtration system installed in the aquarium is to purify the impurities contained in the water, but it does not filter the fine dirt that is dissolved in the water, so the transparency of water drops over time. Also, since the bottom of the aquarium is flat, And is left in a deposited state.

       The light of an aquarium is illuminated from the top like a small aquarium for home, but when the live fish is taken out frequently in the aquarium, the upper part of the aquarium should be opened. There is a problem that the visual effect is degraded because the live fish is not visible clearly at night.

        That is, the above general aquarium is limitedly used when a large amount of live fish is stored in a relatively large sized fish restaurant due to its high price. For example, fish such as urchin fish, sea squirt, sea cucumber fish, In a relatively small snack-style sushi store that sells and sells, there is a problem that the price of an aquarium is burdensome and can not be bought easily.

        Especially, since there are many cases where a crude filter made of a sponge or a nonwoven fabric is installed in the circulation path of the breeding water, not only the foreign matter in the water tank is effectively filtered but also the water in the water tank circulates through the contaminated filter, And pathogens and the like that adversely affect the human body that ingest them are introduced into the water tank. In addition, since the area of contact with the air during the circulation of water in the water tank is small, the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water in the water tank is insufficient and the life of the fish is lowered.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a plurality of drawer type water tanks in the refrigerator body to store live fishes in a water tank to prevent stress caused by other live fishes, thereby providing healthy and fresh living fishes. The present invention provides a living fish storage refrigerator having an effect of providing a fun to select a living fish.
