Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a kitchen knife storage box and a kitchen knife storage box having a cooling function using the same.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kitchen knife storage box for storing a kitchen knife, and more particularly, to a knife storage box for storing a kitchen knife, And can be cleaned in the inside and can be disinfected in daylight, and the knife storage part provided inside the knife storage box can be assembled by using a plurality of vertical bars, beads, To a kitchen knife storage box having a cooling function capable of safely and conveniently inserting and storing a kitchen knife having various sizes and shapes regardless of the size or shape of the knife insertion hole.

In general, kitchen knives and transients used in kitchens are washed and washed in water, hanged on a hook, placed in a dish storage bin, or stuck in a table, so that the knife is accidentally stuck on the knife. There is a problem that it is not.

In consideration of this, recently, a knife storage box capable of storing various knives together has been developed. Particularly, the knife storage box is attached to the inner side surface of the door of the storage box provided in the sink, so that a large number of knives can be stored and the storage space is saved.

However, if the knife storage box is installed inside the sink, it is inconvenient to use and open the door of the sink every time the knife is inserted or removed, and since the knife insertion surface is formed horizontally, In addition, since the knife insertion hole is limited to a specific size and shape, it is not only impossible to accommodate knives of various sizes, but also a knife must be inserted in accordance with the knife insertion hole. Therefore, Lt; / RTI >

Accordingly, a cube-type knife storage box which can be installed on the upper surface of the sink has been developed. The cube-type knife storage box has advantages of easy insertion and removal of knife, and inclination of the knife insertion surface, so that the operation of inserting and removing the knife is relatively free. However, the conventional cube-type knife storage box is generally constructed by assembling logs. Since the outer case and a plurality of seats installed inside the outer case are fixed by an adhesive or the like, . In addition, not only is the knife insertion hole limited to a specific size and shape, but also a knife insertion face is formed as a single knife, and knives of various sizes can not be accommodated.

On the other hand, the cube-type knife storage box installed on the upper surface of the sink has a problem that the temperature of the knife is increased when the room temperature is increased as in the summer because the temperature of the knife is similar to room temperature. In other words, in the case of a knife that cuts food that is fresher than a knife that cuts cooked food because of a high room temperature, and cooks the meal to be consumed in that state, the temperature of the knife itself rises and the fresh food, , The problem that the freshness is lowered due to the blade having a raised temperature has occurred.

Accordingly, Japanese cooking experts using knives use a method of preventing a temperature rise by inserting a blade into ice water, but such a method is not generalized due to considerable inconvenience such as the need to replace ice water from time to time. On the contrary, there is a problem in that the knife used when cutting the meat to eat in the warm state is lowered in taste of the food because the temperature of the knife is lowered when the room temperature is lowered as in winter.

In view of this problem, a knife storage box in which a cooling device is installed on one side of a knife storage box and the knife can be kept at a low temperature is disclosed. That is, in Korean Patent No. 10-1240151, as shown in FIG. 10, a case member for storing a knife is formed on a top surface of which a knife-receiving hole is formed, and an inner temperature And a control unit for controlling the temperature of the cooling device at one side of the case member to enable temperature setting.

Accordingly, when the user turns on the power and sets the temperature through the control unit, the cooling apparatus is operated until the set temperature is reached. When the set temperature is reached due to the operation of the cooling device, the control unit cuts off the power supply, and maintains the set temperature in such a manner that the power supply is restarted when the set temperature is exceeded. Then, the knife portion of the knife is maintained at a low temperature regardless of the external temperature, and when the knife is cut or cut, the knife is in a low temperature state so that it can be cooked in a fresh state.

However, since the conventional knife storage box is installed on the inner side of the door of the storage box provided at the bottom of the sink, it is inconvenient to open and close the door of the sink every time the knife is used, and the knife insertion surface of the knife storage box is formed horizontally The operation of inserting or removing the knife is inconvenient, and the size and shape of the knife insertion hole are limited, so that the knife of various sizes can not be accommodated.

Further, since the conventional knife storage box is formed of only a knife storage box having a cooling function, there is a problem in that a user must have a plurality of knife storage boxes to use various knives that maintain room temperature, low temperature and high temperature. In addition, the conventional knife storage box has a problem in that it does not have a heating function to perform only a cooling function of lowering the temperature of the knife and to raise the temperature of the blade.
