Description

Body Cover Assembly Structure of Kimchi Refrigerator

The present invention relates to a body cover assembly structure of the kimchi refrigerator, more specifically, by changing the position of the hook formed on the inner surface of the body cover to minimize the gap between the out case and the body cover and due to the hook generated in the insertion process It relates to a body cover assembly structure of the kimchi refrigerator that can prevent the occurrence of cracks to prevent product defects and improve assembly.

Among the foods in Korea, rice is the staple food, and various kinds of dim vegetables have been developed by adding various seasonings to vegetables such as cabbage and radish, and then ripening them properly. Among these dim vegetables, kimchi is a fermented food that has been soaked for a long time, and a large amount of kimchi was stored in the cold winter and then taken out little by little. It was difficult to store kimchi in hot summer when there was no refrigerator, but with the advent of electric refrigerators it was possible to store kimchi for longer periods in summer. However, in the process of frequently opening and closing the refrigerator, the kimchi is gradually rancid, and thus the ripe taste cannot be maintained as it is and freshness is lowered. In order to solve this problem, a kimchi refrigerator capable of preserving the taste of kimchi for a long time by appropriately aging kimchi according to seasons and preferences and then cooling at low temperature has been developed and marketed for the first time in Korea by the present applicant.

1 is a front cross-sectional view partially cut to show the internal structure of the kimchi refrigerator. A base panel 2 is disposed below the kimchi refrigerator, and the refrigerant compressed through heat exchange with the air flowing in accordance with the rotation of the fan 5, including the compressor 4 compressing the refrigerant, is disposed on the base panel 2. A condenser 6, an evaporator, etc. are installed to condense the. In addition, a storage chamber C, into which a kimchi container can be placed, is disposed in the upper portion of the partition 3. The outer surface of the storage chamber (C) is wound around the refrigerant pipe (7) and the heating coil (9) through which the coolant passes, thereby raising the temperature of the chamber (C) to mature the kimchi or to store the aged kimchi for a long time The temperature in (C) is kept at a low temperature.

Between the outer case 10 forming the outer wall of the kimchi refrigerator and the inner case 8 providing the storage chamber C, a heat insulating material 11 is inserted to prevent heat loss, and the outer case 10 and the inner Body cover 12 is coupled to the upper portion of the body consisting of a case (8). A hook 16 is formed on the inner surface of the side wall of the body cover 12. At the time of assembly, the hook 16 is inserted into the fastening groove 14 formed in the outer case 10 to be engaged. The hook 16 formed in the body cover 12 is integrally formed at the lower end of the side wall 12a extending vertically downward from the upper wall 12b, as shown in FIG.

In the body cover assembly structure of the kimchi refrigerator having such a configuration, since the hook 16 is formed near the body cover 12, the hook 16 in the process of inserting the body cover 12 into the out case 10. Since it is inserted in a state widened by the thickness of the crack is generated in the body cover may be damaged. In particular, in the case of a product having a long length of the body cover sidewall 12a, the gap between the body cover and the out case becomes larger, causing the sidewall of the body cover to be deformed permanently while exceeding the elastic limit, thereby causing product defects.

The present invention devised to solve such a problem forms a hook on the inner surface of the side wall of the body cover, the hook is formed adjacent to the upper wall of the body cover to minimize the gap generated during assembly of the body cover workability Its purpose is to provide a body cover assembly structure of the kimchi refrigerator that can be improved.

The object of the present invention described above is that the body cover is hermetically fitted on the upper part of the body made of the outer case forming the outer wall of the kimchi refrigerator and the inner case disposed inside the outer case via a heat insulating material to form a storage chamber. In the body cover assembly structure of the kimchi refrigerator, a fastening groove is formed adjacent to the top of the outer case, the inner surface of the side cover of the kimchi refrigerator characterized in that the hook is inserted into the fastening groove adjacent to the upper wall of the body cover. Is achieved by the body cover assembly structure.

Hereinafter, the body cover assembly structure of the kimchi refrigerator according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. (The same components as those of the conventional structure described with reference to FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals. .)

Figure 3 is a front cross-sectional view showing a part of the kimchi refrigerator cut to show a conventional body cover assembly structure, Figure 4 is an enlarged view showing a conventional hook structure.

First, as shown in FIG. 3, a heat insulating material 11 is disposed between the outer case 10 that forms the outer wall of the kimchi refrigerator and the inner case 8 that provides the storage chamber C. Body cover 12 is coupled to the upper portion of the body consisting of 10 and the inner case (8). In addition, a condenser 6 for cooling the refrigerant compressed by the rotation of the fan 5, including the compressor 4 for controlling the temperature of the chamber C, is condensed in the lower machine room around the partition 3. An evaporator or the like for evaporating the refrigerant of the liquid phase is provided.

A hook 26 is formed on the body cover 22 that is coupled to the upper portion of the body formed of the outer case 10 and the inner case 8. Here, the hook 26 is disposed adjacent to the upper wall 22b of the body cover 22, and a fastening groove 24 to which the hook 26 is coupled is formed at the upper end of the outer case 10 as well. .

4 shows the structure of the body cover 22 of the present invention in more detail. As shown in the figure, a hook 26 is formed in the fastening groove 24 of the outer case 10 on the inner surface of the side wall 22a extending vertically downward from the upper wall of the body cover 22. The hook 26 is located adjacent to the top of the body cover 22.

Here, the length A from the lower end of the side wall 22a of the body cover 22 to the hook 26 is formed to increase in proportion to the total length L of the side wall of the body cover 22, wherein the hook 26 The length A to) is at least 50% of the total length L of the side wall of the body cover 22, and preferably close to the upper wall 22b.

According to the present invention described above, since the hook is formed on the inner surface of the side wall of the body cover adjacent to the upper wall thereof, the gap between the outer case and the body cover is small at the time of assembly even in the case of a long body cover product. By preventing the cracks caused by the conventional hooks, it is possible to prevent product defects due to the cracks, and the side wall of the body cover can be smoothly inserted into the outer case, thereby reducing assembly time and improving workability. There is this.
