Description

Cleaning inner case of Kimchi refrigerator {CLEANING INNER-CASE OF KIMCHI-REFRIGERATOR}

The present invention relates to a kimchi refrigerator, and more particularly, to prevent contamination due to overflowing of kimchi soup when the kimchi storage container is introduced or removed inside the case for accommodating the kimchi storage container or when the kimchi is matured. It is too much for the inner case of the cleaning of Kimchi refrigerator to separate it from the Kimchi refrigerator so that it can be easily cleaned.

In general, Kimchi refrigerators, unlike conventional refrigerators, focus on the principle of conventional kimchi ripening, that is, the seasoning time and temperature of kimchi poison in the ground. It is mainly used for the purpose of aging according to the preference or the storage for maintaining the taste continuously, and heat is generated by chemical action during fermentation of fermented food such as kimchi. In addition, in order to satisfy the optimum fermentation conditions, it is necessary to maintain a constant high temperature during the fermentation period. Thus, while maintaining the constant high temperature, the optimum point of the end of the fermentation is found during the fermentation process to suppress the fermentation as much as possible. Kimchi refrigerator that can preserve the taste of ripe kimchi for a long time I have been to.

The inside of the kimchi refrigerator is equipped with a cooling means and a heating means, initially to use the heating means to ripen kimchi stored in the storage container as soon as possible, and after the ripening using kimchi cooling means By maintaining the internal temperature of the storage container at an appropriate level, it is possible to preserve the taste and freshness of kimchi for a long time.

1 is a perspective view of a conventional kimchi refrigerator, Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of a conventional kimchi refrigerator. As shown in the drawing, the conventional kimchi refrigerator includes a main body 100 in which a plurality of storage chambers 110 for maturing and storing kimchi are formed therein, and a main body 100 so as to open and close an opening of each storage chamber 110. A plurality of storage doors (130) coupled to the top, and the operation control unit 140 for visualizing the operation state of the kimchi refrigerator and the control of the operating conditions on the upper side of the main body 100 is provided.

The main body 100 has an outer case 101 to form an exterior and an inner case spaced apart from each other with a foam space of the foam material 103 inside the outer case 101 to form a storage compartment 110 therein ( 102).

The evaporator coil 105 of the cooler is wound around the upper region of the inner case 102 so as to cool the inner case 102 and the storage compartment 110 as the inner accommodating space. A aging heater 106 for aging 151 is provided.

And, between the inner case 102 is provided with an accumulator 124, the refrigerant flowing through each evaporator coil 105, the temperature sensor to detect the temperature in the upper region of each inner case (102) 141 are provided respectively.

In addition, a machine room 120 is formed in the lower region of the main body 100, and a compressor 121 is connected to the evaporator coil 105 to communicate with the evaporator coil 105 to compress the refrigerant. . The discharge side of the compressor 121 is provided with a condenser 122 to condense the compressed refrigerant, and one side of the condenser 122 is provided with a blowing fan 123 to promote heat dissipation.

On the other hand, a plurality of kimchi storage container 150 is accommodated in each of the inner case 102 to accommodate and store the kimchi 151 therein.

By such a configuration, the conventional kimchi refrigerator in the process of passing through the evaporator coil 105 wound around the upper region of the inner case 102 through the expansion valve the refrigerant condensed in the condenser 122 of the machine room 120 Cooling of the inner case 102 and the inside thereof, and heating the aged case 106 wound around the lower region, the cold and hot water flowing into the inner case 102 is set inside the kimchi storage container by natural convection and conduction. By maintaining the temperature it is possible to mature storage of the kimchi 151 accommodated inside the kimchi storage container 150.

However, the kimchi storage container 150 inside the storage compartment 110, that is, the inner case 102 of the kimchi refrigerator during carrying out a series of processes to take out or take out the kimchi storage container 150 stored in storage after aging When contaminants are introduced or the inside of the inner case 102 is contaminated by the leakage of the kimchi soup, the user may clean the inside of the deep inner case 102 to remove contaminants from the inner case 102 or the kimchi soup. It is not easy, and even if the contaminants of the contaminated inner case 102 are removed, there is a problem in that sterilization and disinfection are not very easy.

According to the present invention devised to solve the above problems can easily remove the contaminants introduced into the inner case of the kimchi refrigerator or the kimchi soup leaked from the kimchi storage container as well as easily sterilization, disinfection of the inner case. Its purpose is to provide a kimchi refrigerator.
