Description

Impact Mitigation Device for Kimchi Storage

The present invention relates to a shock absorber of the kimchi storage door, and more particularly to a shock absorber of the kimchi storage door that can absorb the closing shock of the door when the door of the kimchi storage.

In general, in order to store frozen and refrigerated foods or fermented foods (for example, kimchi, etc.), they should be stored at a temperature suitable for storing them. A refrigerator having a freezer and a refrigerating chamber mainly performs such a function. Used.

On the other hand, if the refrigerated food and the fermented food is stored together in the refrigerator compartment of the refrigerator, the smell caused by the fermentation of the fermented food not only causes odor in the refrigerating chamber, but also odor is exhausted in the other refrigerated food, so the unique smell of the refrigerated food It is necessary to store the bulky fermented food (kimchi) in a separate reservoir due to the increase in refrigerated food and fermented food stored in the refrigerator compartment.

In addition, kimchi should be buried in the ground for proper ripening, and the kimchi should be stored in it to be ripe and taste properly, but rather than buried in the ground due to the limitations of the residential environment of apartments and townhouses, etc. It is difficult to keep it in a residential area.

Recently, in order to solve the above problems, research on kimchi storage that can store kimchi in a separate storage space, rather than a refrigerator, has been studied in various technical fields related to this, and such kimchi storage is generally shown in FIG. 1. As shown.

As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional kimchi storage system selects and inputs a course main body 10, a door 20 used for storing or taking out kimchi in the storage main body 10, and each course of the kimchi storage. And it is composed of a control panel 30 provided with a plurality of buttons to perform this.

And, the side of the reservoir body 10 is provided with a moving handle 15 to easily move the reservoir body 10 during movement, the front of the door 20 to facilitate opening and closing of the door 20. The door handle 25 is provided for this purpose.

Figure 2 is a perspective view showing the open state of the kimchi reservoir door shown in Figure 1, in this figure shows a state in which the door is opened in the door closed state of the kimchi reservoir shown in FIG.

In order to preserve the food and the like as kimchi is stored in the main body 10, the door 20 needs to be in close contact with the upper surface of the main body 10 to a certain pressing force. Therefore, the door 20 may be provided with a protective member forming an outer side, a predetermined temperature blocking agent that blocks temperature from the outside, and the like, and may be in close contact with the main body 10 by having a certain thickness and weight.

However, when the door is rotatably connected to the main body by the hinge member as described above and the user moves the door from the open state to the closed state, the door is held until the door is completely in contact with the top surface of the main body by holding the handle of the door. Should hold. At this time, when the door is placed in the middle of closing the door, due to the considerable weight of the door, a collision occurs due to the acceleration force of the door at the point where the door is in contact with the upper surface of the main body, and such a collision may damage the door and the main body, In addition, there was a problem that noise occurs at the moment the door is closed.

In addition, when a finger is caught between the door and the main body while the door is closed, there is a problem that severe injury occurs.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, to provide a shock absorbing device of the kimchi storage door that absorbs the closing shock of the door when the door of the kimchi storage and the door is smoothed. There is this.

In order to achieve the above object, a shock absorbing device for a kimchi storage door according to the present invention, the kimchi storage made of a hinged door and the main body, at least one hole formed on each of the upper sides of the body; A support member inserted in the hool and compressing air in the hole while supporting an impact from the door; A shock absorbing member for absorbing the shock from the support member; And at least one air hole through which air in the hole is sucked and discharged, and a guide hole into which an upper portion of the support member is inserted, and including a locking member to prevent separation of the support member.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the kimchi storage to which the present invention is applied, the same reference numerals are attached to the same parts as the conventional structure, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

First, since the general description of the kimchi storage is the same as the conventional structure described above with reference to Figure 1 will be omitted, hereinafter will be described only for the impact relief device of the kimchi storage of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, the kimchi reservoir body 10 and the door 20 is hinged, the upper end of the main body 10 in contact with the door 20 is provided with the impact relief device of the present invention. .

4 is a vertical cross-sectional view taken along line II ′ of FIG. 3. As shown, the shock absorbing device is installed on the upper end of both sides of the main body, each of which has a hole 26 is installed on the upper end of both sides of the main body, the support member 21 is inserted into the hole 26 It is. The support member 21 compresses the air in the hole while supporting the impact from the door 21.

In addition, an elastic member such as a spring 22 is fixedly installed between the support member 21 and the bottom of the hole 26 to absorb the shock from the support member 21, and the support member 21 The engaging ring 23 is installed around the upper end of A locking member 28 is fixed to the upper end of the hool 26 by a screw 29 to prevent the support member 21 from being separated by the elastic force of the spring 22. The locking member 28 is formed with a plurality of air holes 27 for sucking and discharging air, and the upper part of the support member 21 is inserted to form a guide hole for guiding the shangdong of the upper part. It is.

In the shock absorbing device of the present invention configured as described above, when the lower end surface of the door 20 comes into contact with the support member 21 of the shock absorbing device and presses the support member 21, the lower end of the support member 21 is provided. The installed spring 22 absorbs the shock from the bottom surface of the door 20. In addition, the air in the hool 26 is also compressed to support the door 20 by the pressing of the support member 21, and then as the air in the hool 26 gradually escapes through the air hole 27, It will close slowly.

Here, the air hole 27 is preferably formed very small. The reason is to maximize the buffering effect by the compressed air.

In addition, this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, It can variously deform and implement within the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention.

For example, in the above specific embodiment, the impact mitigating device is provided on the upper portion of the main body 10, but the impact mitigating device is the same as the embodiment described above even if it is provided on the lower portion of the door 20 as shown in FIG. The effect can be obtained.

As described above, according to the present invention, while closing the door of the kimchi storage absorbs the closing shock of the door and smoothes the movement of the door closing it is easy to open and close the door. In addition, noise is hardly generated at the moment of closing the door, and further, even when a finger is caught between the door and the main body while the door is closed, the occurrence of severe injury can be prevented.
