Drain Structure of Kimchi Refrigerator {DRAIN STRUCTURE OF KIMCHI REFRIGERATOR}

The present invention relates to a drainage structure of a kimchi refrigerator, which is a drawer type kimchi refrigerator divided into an upper drawer compartment and a lower drawer compartment. It relates to a drainage structure.

1 is a side cross-sectional view of a typical example of a kimchi refrigerator.

The main cabinet (1) of the kimchi refrigerator has an outer casing (2) forming an outer appearance, and an upper drawer (3) and a lower drawer (4) in the outer casing (2) with a gap between the outer casing (2) and the foam filling. ) Is installed. Each of the upper drawer compartment 3 and the lower drawer compartment 4 is provided with a drawer 5 which is slid open and closed to the front, respectively, and the drawer 5 can accommodate a storage such as kimchi.

The operation panel 6 is accommodatingly coupled to the front upper end of the outer casing 2, and the mechanical parts chamber 7 is installed at the lower portion thereof.

In the machine parts chamber 7, machine parts such as a compressor 8 for compressing the refrigerant to high temperature and high pressure and then circulating them are accommodated and installed, and the outer casing 2 and the upper and lower drawer compartments 3 and 4 In the foam filling space formed in the evaporator) is compressed from the evaporator (9) and the compressor (8) for cooling the temperature inside the upper and lower drawer compartments (3) and (4) by using the refrigerant compressed from the compressor (8). A condenser 10 for receiving a refrigerant and condensing it into a liquid phase and a heater 11 for generating heat to increase the internal temperature in the upper and lower drawer compartments 3 and 4 are provided.

In such a configuration, when the storage container containing the storage material such as kimchi is accommodated and the operation panel 6 is operated according to the user's request, the device parts such as the compressor 8 and the heater 11 are operated. The operation of the kimchi refrigerator is performed to adjust freshness retention and ripening of the stored product by using the cold air generated by the heat exchange of the refrigerant and the heat generated by the heater 11.

Here, one side of the lower ends of the upper and lower drawer compartments 3 and 4 to effectively discharge condensed water that is inevitably generated in the upper and lower drawer compartments 3 and 4 by the heat of cold air and the heater during the operation. The drain connection member 3a protrudes outward. A drain hose 13 is connected to the drain connection member 3a of the upper drawer compartment 3 to guide the machine part chamber 7.

And the drain connection member (4a) connected to the lower drawer compartment 4 is connected to the drain pipe (14) hooked to the rear side protruding outwardly flows into the machine part chamber (7).

The drain hose 13 and the drain pipe 14 guided to the machine part chamber 7 are connected to a single pipe in the machine part chamber 7 to exit the outer casing 2.

However, since the drain hose of the upper drawer compartment and the drain pipe of the lower drawer compartment respectively flow into the machine parts compartment, there is a problem of constraining the space of the machine parts compartment, increasing the number of working hours and increasing the parts cost.

The present invention has been devised to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and by combining the drain hose with the second drain connection member of the lower drawer compartment, it provides a drainage structure of the Kimchi refrigerator with simple structure and easy operation. .

The present invention for achieving the above object, the first, the second drawer is installed in communication with the outer casing, the upper and lower drawer compartment, which is accommodated in the outer casing to form a storage compartment, respectively, and connected to the lower end of the upper and lower drawer compartments. A drainage structure of a Kimchi refrigerator having a drain connection member, a drain hose connected to the first drain connection member, and a drain pipe connected to the second drain connection member; Providing upwardly formed at the rear end of the second drain connection member installed in the lower drawer compartment provides a drainage structure of the kimchi refrigerator characterized in that it comprises a connection pipe connected to one end of the drain hose.

The above object and various advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the preferred embodiments of the invention described below with reference to the accompanying drawings by those skilled in the art.

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

Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the drainage structure of the kimchi refrigerator according to the present invention, Figure 3 is a side cross-sectional view of the kimchi refrigerator showing the drainage structure of the kimchi refrigerator according to the present invention.

Kimchi refrigerator drainage structure of FIG. 2 according to the present invention, the main cabinet 100 has an outer casing 110, the outer casing 110 and the outer casing 110 and the foam filling material spaced apart the upper drawer 110 in the outer casing 110 The compartment 120 and the lower drawer compartment 130 are installed.

First and second drain connection members 122 and 132 are installed in the upper drawer bin 120 and the lower drawer bin 130, respectively, and include a drain hose 124 and a drain pipe 135 connected thereto. do.

Here, the first drain connection member 122 that is curved is attached to the rear end of the upper drawer box 120, and the first discharge interruption hole having a circular downward direction is disposed below the first drain connection member 122. The drain hose 124 is installed in 122a).

The drain hose 124 is preferably applied to the hose is formed bellows, such as a conventional washing machine hose.

In addition, a second drain connection member 132 that is curvedly attached to the rear end of the lower drawer compartment 130 is installed, and a second discharge control opening 132a protrudes from the rear thereof, and a mechanical part chamber 140 at the end thereof. Drain pipe 135 is introduced into the hook coupling.

In addition, according to a feature of the present invention, the circular connection pipe 133 is integrally protruded and formed on the upper surface of the second discharge control outlet 132a so that the drain hose 124 is connected and installed.

And one side of the connecting pipe 133 has a rectangular protrusion 134 is formed in the longitudinal direction, the protrusion 124a is formed at the end of the drain hose 124 to be fitted to the protrusion 134.

Referring to the operation of the drainage structure of the kimchi refrigerator according to the present invention configured as described as follows.

Referring to FIG. 3, first, the first drain connection member 122 is coupled to the rear end of the upper drawer compartment 120, and likewise, the second drain connection member 132 is coupled to the rear end of the lower drawer compartment 130. In this state, one end of the drain hose 124 is fitted into the first discharge control outlet 122a of the first drain connection member 122, and the other end is connected to the connection pipe 133 of the second drain connection member 132. It will fit on the fitting. At this time, by fitting the projection 124a of the drain hose 124 to the protrusion 134 of the connection pipe 133, the separation by rotation is prevented.
