In addition, the upper plate 1 is formed with an incision 23 which is cut at the center portion, whereby the casing 5 can be fitted to be installed.

Therefore, it is preferable that a predetermined step through which the casing 5 can extend is formed at the edge of the cutout 23.

Here, although the shape of the cutout 23 is shown as a rectangular shape corresponding to the shape of the casing 5 as shown, the casing 5 is formed in a circular or other shape and the cutout 23 It can also be formed in a variety of shapes to match it is a moron.

In addition, the upper plate (1) is made of a material having a certain strength or more because a variety of food and containers are placed at the time of meal, and when the users lean on the upper plate (1) is also applied to the load of the user.

On the other hand, the support means (3) is coupled to a suitable place below the upper plate (1), it is provided with a plurality so as to stably support the upper plate (1).

In addition, the lower end of the support means 3 may be further provided with a support means for adjusting the height up and down for fine height adjustment and stable support.

In addition, the casing 5 is formed in the shape of a container with an upper surface opened, and is fitted into the cutout 23 at the center of the upper plate 1.

Here, the upper portion of the casing (5) is preferably formed with a projection that is stably hung over the cutout portion 23 of the upper plate (1) along its circumference.

In addition, the casing 5 is secured to the upper plate 1 by a fastening means such as a screw after being sandwiched by the cutout 23.

In addition, the storage container 11 is configured to be inserted into the casing (5) to be seated.

The storage container 11 is preferably detachably coupled without being fastened when inserted into the casing (5).

When the storage container 11 is detachable as described above, the user can easily separate the storage container 11 from the casing 5 fixed to the upper plate 1 to contain or remove side dishes.

In addition, the storage container 11 may be provided with a predetermined diaphragm 12 therein so as to accommodate the side dishes in kind.

In addition, although not shown, it is a matter of course that separate cups may be provided and used in a form corresponding to the storage container 11.

In addition, the upper edge of the storage container 11 has a seating portion is formed so that the cover (7) can be seated.

Here, the seating portion is provided with a sealing member to seal the interior of the storage container 11 when the cover 7 is seated.

In addition, the storage container 11 is made of an aluminum material excellent in thermal conductivity.

This is to easily discharge the heat inside the storage container 11 to the outside of the storage container (11).

In addition, the cover 7 is configured to be coupled and separated while seated on the seating portion of the storage container 11 to open and close the inlet of the storage container (11).

Here, a predetermined handle 8 is installed on the upper surface of the cover 7.

As a result, the lid 7 can be easily lifted from the inlet of the storage container 11.

In addition, the present invention is provided with a cooling means for cooling the storage container 11 to refrigerated side dishes to be stored.

Thus, the cooling means includes a heat insulator 9, a heat conductor 19, a thermoelectric element 17, a heat sink 15, and a cooling fan 13.

Here, the heat insulator 9 is formed in the form of a container surrounding the outer surface and the lower surface of the storage container 11, it is installed in the casing (5).

As a result, the heat insulator 9 is positioned between the casing 5 and the storage container 11.

In addition, the heat insulator 9 is made of a material having a small thermal conductivity, and is formed to a predetermined thickness or more.

Here, it is preferable to use urethane as the material of the heat insulator 9, because the thermal conductivity of the urethane is small and hardly damaged at a high temperature below a certain level.

By such a configuration, the heat insulator 9 can block the heat penetrating into the storage container 11 from the outside, thereby allowing the storage container 11 to be insulated.

In addition, the thermal conductor 19 is installed under the heat insulator 9, and the entire upper surface is in intimate contact with the lower surface of the storage container 11 for smooth heat conduction.

To this end, a through-hole 25 formed in the shape of the heat conductor 19 is formed in the lower portion of the heat insulator 9 so that the heat conductor 19 can be installed.

Here, the area in which the storage container 11 and the heat conductor 19 are in contact is a heat exchange area that influences the heat conduction effect.

Therefore, the upper surface to be in contact with the heat conductor 19 to absorb more heat from the storage container 11 should be formed in a predetermined area or more.

In addition, it is preferable that a predetermined amount of a heat transfer material such as a thermal grease is applied to the contact surface of the storage container 11 and the heat conductor 19 to facilitate smooth heat conduction.

In addition, the heat conductor 19 is made of aluminum material having excellent thermal conductivity and low cost.

As a result, the heat conductor 19 enables smoother heat conduction between the storage container 11 and the thermoelectric element 17.

Subsequently, the thermoelectric element 17 will be described.

Since the thermoelectric element 17 becomes a low temperature, the thermoelectric element 17 takes heat from the accommodating container 11 using heat conduction due to a temperature difference, thereby cooling the accommodating container 11.

Here, the thermoelectric element 17 connects two types of metal tips and sends a current therein so that one terminal absorbs heat in the current direction and the other terminal uses a Peltier effect that generates heat.

In particular, in the present invention, it is preferable to use a semiconductor such as bismuth (Bi) or tellurium (Te) having different electric conduction methods instead of the two kinds of metals for efficient endothermic and exothermic action.

When the thermoelectric element 17 using the semiconductor is used as described above, since the components such as a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator, which occupy a large volume, are not required to cool the storage container 11, it is possible to construct a simple and small volume. .

In addition, since the thermoelectric element 17 using the semiconductor as described above can easily adjust the heat absorbing and calorific value by adjusting the amount of current, it is very easy to control the temperature of the storage container (11).

Here, the thermoelectric element 17 is installed such that one surface that absorbs heat is in intimate contact with the lower surface of the thermal conductor 19.

As a result, the thermoelectric element 17 may absorb the heat of the storage container 11.

In addition, the heat sink 15 is installed to be in contact with the other surface of the thermoelectric element 17 that generates heat.

As a result, the heat dissipation plate 15 absorbs heat emitted from the thermoelectric element 17 to be discharged into the casing 5.

In addition, the heat dissipation plate 15 is made of aluminum material having excellent thermal conductivity similarly to the storage container 11 and the heat conductor 19.

Here, the heat exchange ability of the heat sink 15 or the ability to dissipate heat depends largely on how wide the area is in contact with the air in the casing 5.

Thus, the heat sink 15 is formed to have a sufficient surface area.

To this end, a predetermined pattern 16 is formed on the surface of the heat sink 15 in contact with the air.

When the predetermined pattern 16 protruding from the heat dissipation plate 15 is formed, heat exchange can be performed more smoothly while contacting a larger area with the air circulating in the casing 5.

In addition, the cooling fan 13 is installed under the casing 5, and serves to discharge heat emitted from the heat sink 15 to the outside of the casing 5.

To this end, a predetermined discharge hole 6 is formed in the lower portion of the casing 5 to which the cooling fan 13 is fitted.

In addition, after the cooling means is installed in the lower portion of the casing 5, the casing 5 and the cooling fan 13 are configured to have a free space to be separated by a predetermined degree.

The cooling means configured as described above plays a role of smoothly discharging heat existing in the storage container 11 to the outside of the casing 5.

Thus, Figure 6 is a reference diagram showing the flow of heat by the cooling means of the present invention.

As shown, when the thermoelectric element 17 of the cooling means is operated, one surface of the thermoelectric element 17 becomes a low temperature and heat is moved from the inside of the storage container 11 which is relatively high temperature. It is absorbed by one side of.

In addition, the other surface of the thermoelectric element 17 becomes high temperature while releasing heat absorbed by the one surface.

At this time, the thermal conductor 19 sequentially contacted from one surface of the thermoelectric element 17 and the storage container 11 and the heat sink 15 in contact with the other surface of the thermoelectric element 17 form a distribution path for thermal conduction. do.

As a result, the heat existing in the storage container 11 is absorbed into one surface of the thermoelectric element 17 through the wall of the storage container 11 and the thermal conductor 19 as shown by an arrow. Heat emitted from the other surface of the device 17 is discharged through the heat sink 15.

Thereafter, the heat discharged from the heat sink 15 is finally discharged to the outside of the casing 5 by the cooling fan 13.

In addition, an air flow opening 4 is further formed at the lower portion of the casing 5.

Thus, Figure 7 is a reference diagram showing the flow of air by the cooling fan and the air flow port of the present invention.

As shown, when the air flow port 4 is formed in the lower portion of the casing (5), the heat sink is supplied in abundant fresh air from the outside of the casing (5) by the suction force of the cooling fan (13) In contact with 15).

As a result, the heat sink 15 is quickly cooled while smoothly contacting fresh air, and as a result, more heat is absorbed and discharged from the storage container 11 so that the storage container 11 can be cooled more quickly. Will be.

On the other hand, the storage container 11 is further provided with a temperature sensor not shown, which can measure the internal temperature.

In addition, the control panel 21 for adjusting the cooling temperature of the cooling means based on the temperature measured by the temperature sensor is further installed.

As a result, the internal temperature of the storage container 11 can be maintained at an appropriate level at all times, so that the side dishes stored in the storage container 11 can always be kept fresh.

In particular, the present invention mainly stores the side dishes refrigerated because it is suitable for long-term storage of the stored side dishes in a fresh state while maintaining a temperature suitable for the side dish characteristics unlike the general refrigerator in which several kinds of food is stored.

When described in detail based on the accompanying drawings the operation of the table for storing the side dishes according to the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

First, open the cover 7 of the present invention to open the interior of the storage container (11). Thereafter, the side dishes to be refrigerated are stored in the storage container 11.

Here, since the diaphragm 12 is installed inside the storage container 11, it is possible to store side dishes by type.

In addition, since the storage container 11 is detachable from the casing 5, it is convenient to separate the storage container 11 and store the side dishes when there are many side dishes to be stored.

As such, when all the desired side dishes are stored in the storage container 11, the cover 7 is covered to block the inside of the storage container 11 from the outside.

On the other hand, if the side dishes are stored in the storage container 11, the internal temperature of the storage container 11 is suddenly increased, the temperature sensor installed in the storage container 11 detects such a temperature rise and measured temperature value It will be delivered to the control panel 21.

Then, the control panel 21 determines whether or not the set temperature to operate the cooling means if the temperature is higher than the set temperature.

Accordingly, the thermoelectric element 17 and the cooling fan 13 of the cooling means is operated.

As a result, one surface of the thermoelectric element 17 operated becomes a low temperature and absorbs heat from the inside of the storage container 11 which is relatively high temperature.

In addition, the other surface of the thermoelectric element 17 emits heat absorbed by the one surface.

At this time, the heat conductor 19 and the storage container 11 and the heat sink 15 in contact with the other surface of the thermoelectric element 17 are sequentially contacted from one surface of the thermoelectric element 17 is a distribution path for the heat conduction. Is achieved.

As a result, heat existing in the storage container 11 is absorbed into one surface of the thermoelectric element 17 through the wall of the storage container 11 and the thermal conductor 19, It is emitted by the other surface and the heat sink (15).

Here, the storage container 11, the heat conductor 19, and the heat sink 15 are made of an aluminum material having excellent thermal conductivity so that heat can be moved quickly.

In addition, when the cooling fan 13 of the cooling means is activated, abundant fresh air is supplied from the outside through the air distribution port 4 of the casing 5 to be in contact with the heat sink 15 to perform heat exchange. do.

In particular, since the heat sink 15 is in contact with a larger area of the air circulated by the pattern 16 protruding from the surface, it is possible to quickly carry the heat emitted from the thermoelectric element 17 into the air.

Thereafter, the heat discharged from the heat sink 15 is discharged to the outside of the casing 5 through the cooling fan 13 together with the air.

As a result, the side dishes stored in the storage container 11 quickly fall to an appropriate temperature, and when the temperature inside the storage container 11 reaches a set temperature, the control panel 21 stops the operation of the cooling means. Only a weak current is sent to the heating element to keep the temperature inside the storage container 11 at a proper temperature.

As such, the dining table of the present invention can be kept refrigerated for a long time in a fresh state, so that the side dishes that are placed on the table for a long time can be easily stored when it is made like a side dish.

In the above described a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The present invention may use various changes, modifications, and equivalents. It is clear that the present invention can be applied in the same manner by appropriately modifying the above embodiments. Therefore, the above description does not limit the scope of the present invention defined by the limits of the following utility model registration claims.

As described above, the table for storing the side dishes according to the present invention can be stored at the table at all times in a fresh state, such as the side dishes, eliminating the hassle of taking the side dishes out of the refrigerator and storing them each time. It will work.

In addition, the present invention has the effect of keeping the side dishes in the freshest state at all times while maintaining the appropriate temperature only for side dishes.

In addition, the present invention has an effect that can be configured to be able to exchange heat efficiently and have a refrigerated storage function as described above, while having a simple and compact form so as to be almost different from the conventional table shape.
