Description

냉장고용 가습장치{Humidifier for refrigerator}Humidifier for refrigerator {Humidifier for refrigerator}

본 발명은 냉장고에 관한 것으로서, 더 상세하게는 냉장고의 고내공기가 건조해지는 것을 미연에 차단시키는 냉장고용 가습장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a humidifier for a refrigerator, which blocks in advance the drying of high air in the refrigerator.

일반적으로, 냉장고는 식품을 신선하게 장기간 보관하는 용도로 사용되는 기기로서, 오늘날에 이르러서는, 수돗물을 직접 냉장고에 유입되도록 하여 항시 냉장고에는 찬물 또는 얼음이 자동 생성되도록 하는 고급화된 냉장고의 개발이 지속적으로 이루어지는 추세에 있다.In general, refrigerators are devices used to keep food fresh for a long time. Today, there is a continuous development of an advanced refrigerator that allows tap water to be directly introduced into the refrigerator so that cold water or ice is automatically generated in the refrigerator at all times. There is a trend made up of.

이하, 도 1를 참조하여, 종래기술에 따른 냉장고를 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, a refrigerator according to the prior art will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

식품을 냉동보관시키는 냉동실(1)과, 식품을 냉장보관시키는 냉장실(2)과, 그리고 상기 냉동실 및 냉장실을 냉각시키는 냉동사이클(도시생략)로 크게 나눌 수 있으며, 그리고 상기 냉동실의 일측에는 저온저압 상태의 냉매를 갖는 증발기(3)가 장착되어 있고, 상기 증발기측에는 증발기의 열교환이 촉진되도록 고내(庫內)공기를 강제대류시키는 증발기팬(4)이 장착되어 있으며, 상기 냉동실의 열교환된 공기가 냉장실로 유입되도록 덕트(5)가 형성되어 있고, 상기 증발기에 맺혀있는 서리를 제상시킬 때 발생되는 제상수가 소정부로 모이도록 안내유로(6)가 형성되어 있다.It can be broadly divided into a freezer compartment (1) for storing food, a freezer compartment (2) for storing food, and a freezing cycle (not shown) for cooling the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment, and at one side of the freezer compartment An evaporator 3 having a refrigerant in a state is mounted, and on the evaporator side, an evaporator fan 4 forcing convection of air in the air to promote heat exchange of the evaporator is mounted. A duct 5 is formed so as to flow into the refrigerating chamber, and the guide passage 6 is formed so that defrost water generated when defrosting the frost formed in the evaporator is collected into a predetermined portion.

이 때, 상기 덕트(5) 중 냉장실(2)측에 형성된 덕트는 냉장실의 후벽면(도면에서 우측)에 상/하방향으로 형성되어 있으며, 필요간격마다 냉장실로 냉기가 토출되도록 소정의 개구(5a)가 형성되어 있다.At this time, the duct formed in the refrigerating chamber 2 side of the duct 5 is formed in the up / down direction on the rear wall surface (right side in the drawing) of the refrigerating chamber, and a predetermined opening so that the cold air is discharged to the refrigerating chamber at every required interval ( 5a) is formed.

그리고, 일반적인 냉장고에는 장착되어 있지 않지만, 도 1에 도시된 바와 같이, 수돗물 급수기(7)와 연결된 연결관(8)과, 상기 수돗물을 정화시키는 정수기(9)가 더 장착되어 이루어진 고급화된 냉장고도 양산되고 있다.In addition, although not installed in a general refrigerator, as shown in FIG. 1, an advanced refrigerator including a connection pipe 8 connected to the tap water water supply 7 and a water purifier 9 for purifying the tap water is further provided. It is mass-produced.

상기와 같이 이루어진 종래기술에 따른 냉장고는 다음과 같은 동작을 수행한다.The refrigerator according to the prior art made as described above performs the following operation.

냉장고가 가동되면, 냉동사이클이 동작되면서 증발기(3)를 저온상태로 만들게 되고, 냉동실(1)의 공기는 증발기(3)와 열교환되며, 이때, 증발기팬(4)이 구동하면서 열교환을 촉진시키된다. 또한 필요시 냉동실(1)의 냉기는 덕트(5)로 유입된 후 개구(5a)를 통해 냉장실(2)로 토출되어 냉장실의 온도를 저온화시키게 된다. 한편, 온도차로 인해 증발기(3)에는 서리가 맺히게 되고, 필요에 따라 히터(도시생략)를 동작시켜 서리를 제거하게 되는데, 이때 발생되는 제상수는 안내유로(6)를 따라 고외(庫外)의 소정부로 모이게 된다.When the refrigerator is operated, the refrigeration cycle is operated to make the evaporator 3 at a low temperature, and the air in the freezer compartment 1 exchanges heat with the evaporator 3, whereby the evaporator fan 4 is driven to promote heat exchange. do. In addition, if necessary, the cold air of the freezing chamber 1 flows into the duct 5 and is discharged into the refrigerating chamber 2 through the opening 5a to lower the temperature of the refrigerating chamber. On the other hand, frost is formed on the evaporator 3 due to the temperature difference, and if necessary, the heater (not shown) is operated to remove frost, and the defrost water generated at this time is separated from the outside along the guide passage 6. Are gathered to a predetermined portion of.

하지만, 상기와 같이 이루어진 냉장고는 다음과 같은 문제점이 있었다.However, the refrigerator made as described above had the following problems.

냉장고가 가동되면, 밀폐된 고내공기가 증발기(3)에 의해 열교환되면서 고내공기와 증발기간에 온도차에 의해 고내공기에 함유된 수분이 증발기에 착상되고 필요시 제상시켜 고외로 배출시킴에 따라, 고내공기에 함유된 수분이의 양이 줄어들면서 고내공기가 극도로 건조해지는 문제가 있었다.When the refrigerator is operated, the sealed high air is heat-exchanged by the evaporator (3), and the moisture contained in the high air is extracted by the temperature difference between the high air and the evaporation period by the temperature difference during the evaporation period and defrosted if necessary and discharged to the outside. As the amount of moisture contained in the air is reduced, there is a problem that the high air inside is extremely dried.

다시 말해, 고내공기가 건조해지면서 보관중인 식품의 신선도가 떨어지고, 특히 채소나 과일등을 장기간 보관하는데 문제가 있었다.In other words, as the air inside the air dries, the freshness of the stored food is reduced, and in particular, there is a problem in storing vegetables or fruits for a long time.

본 발명은 종래기술에 대한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 것으로서, 냉장고의 구조를 개선하여, 고내공기가 건조해지는 것을 미연에 차단시키는데 그 목적이 있다.The present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art, the purpose of improving the structure of the refrigerator, to block the drying of high air in advance.
