Referring to FIG. 1, a refrigerator is generally divided into a freezing compartment 1 and a refrigerating compartment 2, and the freezing compartment 1 and the refrigerating compartment 2 are opened and closed by a refrigerator door.

Typically, drinks and the like are stored in the refrigerator compartment 2 or stored in the beverage compartment 3 provided in the door of the refrigerator compartment 2. When the beverage is stored in the refrigerating compartment or the refrigerating compartment door, a lot of time is required for the temperature of the beverage stored at room temperature to cool down to a temperature suitable for drinking. Of course, as another method for shortening the time problem as described above, when the beverage is stored at room temperature in the freezer compartment 1, the time required for cooling takes about 20 minutes.

This is because the internal temperature of the refrigerating compartment is approximately -18 ° C, so that the time required for cooling the drink is much shorter than that of the refrigerating compartment. Of course, even if the time required for cooling is reduced to about 20 minutes, there is a need to cool the drink in a shorter time depending on the user's needs. Moreover, when there is no space for storing additional drinks and the like as another storage in the freezer compartment 1, there is a problem that the effect of time reduction can not be obtained eventually.

2 is a view showing another method for instant cooling of a conventional beverage.

Referring to Figure 2, after placing a piece of ice (4) around the drink, the salt (4) is sprinkled on the piece of ice (4) and finally covered with a covering cloth (6), such as a towel.

Therefore, the beverage in the normal temperature state by the cold ice is subjected to the cooling process by heat conduction in contact with the pieces of the ice (4). At this time, the cover cloth (6) is to block the cold air of the ice with the outside air, and in order to efficiently conduct the heat conduction process between the ice (4) and the beverage, after rotating the beverage in the cover cloth (6) to a certain position You can also go through the cooling process again. In this conventional method of cooling the beverage instantaneously, there is a hassle to prepare ice (4), salt (5) and cover cloth (6) from time to time, and when the ice melts a certain amount of water generated by the phase change is the bottom There is an inconvenient problem in use, such as flow.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and a beverage, such as beer or cider, is cooled in a short time to a drinking temperature (approximately + 4 ° C.) suitable for drinking by an instant cooling method by reciprocating excitation using a cold storage material. It is intended to enhance the ease of use by cooling the beverage at room temperature from time to time when necessary.

3 is a view showing the instantaneous cooling apparatus according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the beverage 10 stored at room temperature is stored in the coolant storage unit 8 at a low temperature equal to the temperature of the freezing chamber 7, and the coolant storage unit 8 is vibrated. 11) by applying a vibration to instantaneously cool the beverage (10) stored in the refrigerant storage unit (8), and at the same time maximize the efficiency of the instant cooling by allowing the hot and cold beverages in the beverage to be evenly mixed evenly. Do it. And in order to reduce the noise caused by the vibration and the unnecessary refrigerator vibration used in the above-mentioned applications, the lower end of the vibration unit 11 and the coolant storage unit 8 is provided with a spring 12 for attenuating the vibration freezer Fixing to (2) is preferred.

When the cooling process by the instantaneous cooling device is described in more detail, a material such as saline or ethyl alcohol is used as a cool storage material, and the bag containing them is brought into surface contact with a beverage stored at room temperature. The bag containing the coolant is already cooled in the freezer, so the temperature is approximately -18 ° C. The beverage near the container of the beverage 10 which is in surface contact with the bag containing the coolant is quickly cooled.

In addition to the instantaneous cooling process by the surface contact, the canned beverage storage unit 8 is cooled by vibrating the vibrating unit 11 so that the beverage can or the cooled beverage close to the outermost part of the bottle (container) can be fed. Or it will give the effect of stirring to mix well with the room temperature beverage in the center of the bottle (container). Therefore, in the state in which vibration is not applied, cooling is more rapid than in the beverage 10 container only by heat conduction. Here, the cool storage material storage unit 8 is connected by the vibration unit 11 and the connecting member, so that the vibration of the vibration unit 11 is transmitted without loss to the cool storage material storage unit (8).

4 is a view schematically showing a cool storage bag.

Referring to FIG. 4, the heat storage material bag 13 made of silicon material is sealed by putting a material such as saline or ethyl alcohol into the heat storage material 14. In this case, the material of the refrigerant bag 13 is made of silicon, so that the material is not damaged even in the freezer compartment so that the cooled refrigerant bag 13 can be easily kept in surface contact with the beverage container. The reason why ethyl alcohol is used as a cool storage material is, firstly, not only because it is harmless to the human body, but also because latent heat is a very large material for thermal conversion due to phase change. That is, since the semi-solid cool storage bag 13 in the low temperature state is semi-fluid, the surface contact with the beverage container is easy, and the semi-solid cool storage material 14 undergoes a large phase change in the process of undergoing a phase change. The heat is taken away and the temperature drops sharply.

When the beverage 10 is cooled by the instant cooling process as described above, the cooling is performed quickly, and after cooling, the beverage 10 is immediately taken out. It will be emptied to allow cooling. Therefore, in the freezer compartment, the utility value of the freezer compartment becomes higher despite the disadvantage of occupying space in which the instantaneous cooling device is to be installed.

Referring to FIG. 6, a vibration motor 18 is fixed below the vibration case 17 to generate vibration, and an eccentric rotor 19 is fixedly coupled to a shaft of the vibration motor 18. do.

In more detail, as the eccentric rotor 19 coupled to the shaft of the vibration motor 18 rotates, the direction of action of the force due to the eccentricity is changed, and the change of the direction of action of such force is changed. Is transmitted to the shaft (shaft) of the vibration motor 18 and finally the vibration unit case 17 is vibrated. That is, the vibration of the vibrating unit case 17 as described above becomes a driving force for transmitting the vibration to the heat storage material storage unit (8).

As described above, the present invention rapidly cools the beverage at room temperature by the cold storage material, so that the cooled beverage is well mixed in the container by vibration, thereby maximizing the cooling efficiency and minimizing the time required for cooling.
