Description

Kimchi storage have rapidity refrigerator room and ice making room}

The present invention relates to a kimchi storage having a rapid freezing chamber and an ice-making chamber, and more specifically, to the existing kimchi storage in accordance with the change of consumption psychology such as to require the storage of various foods in addition to the kimchi storage in the lower portion of the existing kimchi storage. It relates to a kimchi storage having a quick freezer and an ice making room to meet the needs of consumers by configuring not only storage and storage of vegetables and meat, but also an ice making function and a quick freezer function.

As it is known, kimchi storage has the advantage that the freshness is maintained even after long-term storage of kimchi, unlike the conventional refrigerator.

Thus, in recent years, the use of kimchi storage is gradually increasing.

Conventional kimchi storage has a main body formed with a storage chamber and a machine chamber along the height direction therein, and a door provided on the upper portion of the main body.

The storage chamber accommodates a plurality of storage containers for storing kimchi and the like, and a compressor, a condenser, and a cooling fan are provided in the machinery chamber.

Such a kimchi storage, although there is also a storage room provided therein, in the case of recently manufactured kimchi storage, as shown in Figure 1, it is common to employ a plurality of storage chamber to open and close to the top. .

That is, as shown in FIG. 1, in the case of the kimchi storage currently provided, two storage chambers 2a and 2b are generally partitioned above the main body 1 of the kimchi storage to form an appearance, and the storage chambers 2a and Two upper doors (1a, 1b) for opening and closing the 2b) has a structure that is coupled to the hinge (5) on the upper end of the rear surface of the main body (1) by the upper opening and closing.

Of course, in the kimchi storage, the lower part of the storage compartment (2a, 2b) is divided into a machine room (3), which is not shown compressor and condenser for the cooling cycle is arranged separately, the control of all operations of the kimchi storage is It is made from the operation panel 4 provided in the front of (1).

On the other hand, in addition to the kimchi of the kimchi storage having a plurality of storage rooms (2a, 2b) as described above, a storage room such as a vegetable room is further installed to store vegetables, fruits, meat, etc., and has three storage rooms (rooms, room). A front view of one kimchi storage is shown in FIG.

The kimchi storage shown in FIG. 2 has the main body 1 provided with three storage chambers 2a-2c, and the doors 1a-1c which open and close the entrance opening and exit of each room 2a-2c.

At this time, the drawer storage compartment (2c) is disposed below the plurality of storage compartments (2a, 2b) located in the upper, the drawer storage compartment (2c) is supplied with cold air by a separate, not shown evaporator surrounding the storage compartment at room temperature It is supposed to maintain.

However, in the case of the drawer storage compartment (2c), since the cold air outflow compared to the upper open and closed storage compartments (2a, 2b) is usually used as a vegetable compartment that can store long-term fresh vegetables and meat rather than storing kimchi sensitive to temperature changes for a long time It is recognized that it is preferable.

In other words, kimchi and the like are stored in the two storage compartments 2a and 2b located above the three storage compartments 2a to 2c, and the storage compartment 2c located below is used as the vegetable compartment to store meat for a long time. Me or fruit, vegetables, etc. will be kept.

However, as the kimchi storage has been recently provided for mass use, in addition to a separate storage room (2c) such as the vegetable room described above, it will be equipped with a storage room that can be stored according to the use of each food or have various functions according to the change in consumer's consumption psychology. Is being asked.

That is, in the existing kimchi storage drawer-type storage room (2c) at the bottom was available as a storage room for storing vegetables or meat, but recently, in addition to the vegetable room, it is hoped that a separate deicing and freezing function can be provided in various foods or kimchi storage. Consumers are on the rise.

In other words, in the case of the existing Kimchi storage, it was not enough to actively respond to the needs of consumers due to changes in diet and consumption psychology.

That is, the kimchi storage disclosed in Figures 1 and 2 can not satisfy the needs of the consumer bar, there is a need to actively respond to changes in the diet of consumers by providing a quick freezer and an ice-making room in the kimchi storage.

Accordingly, the present invention is devised to respond more actively to the needs of the consumers as described above, the object of the present invention is not only storage and storage of vegetables and meat in the drawer storage compartment located below the existing kimchi storage and ice making function and By providing a quick freezer function, it is to provide a kimchi storage equipped with a quick freezer and an ice making room to meet the needs of consumers.

Here, the outer wall of the storage chamber used as the ice making chamber and the rapid freezing chamber may have a larger number of turns than the evaporator disposed on the outer wall of the other storage chamber, and the interval may be finely arranged.

Unlike the other storage compartments, the storage compartment used as the ice making chamber and the rapid freezing chamber may have an independent cooling method.

It is advantageous that the ice-making chamber is equipped with a detachable ice maker.

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

Figure 3 is a perspective view showing a preferred embodiment of the kimchi storage in accordance with the present invention, Figure 4 is a schematic front sectional view of the kimchi storage shown in FIG.

As shown in these drawings, the main body 10 of the kimchi storage according to the present invention is a machine room (not shown) equipped with various parts, and a plurality of kimchi, vegetables, fruits, meat, etc. are provided to be stored differently by type The storage room (room, ROOM) is formed.

And door 11a-11d which opens and closes the opening opening of each storage chamber is provided in the opening opening area of each storage chamber.

3 and 4, the first and second doors 11a and 11b are open and close, and the third and fourth doors 11c and 11d are open and close.

However, if the input opening position of each storage compartment is changed, the doors 11a to 11d may also be applied in a normal drawer type or the like.

That is, it is obvious that the third and fourth doors 11c and 11d may be configured as drawer doors as in the prior art.

In the present embodiment, the storage compartment is configured to have a total of four storage compartments by partitioning the drawer storage compartment 2c shown in FIG.

Hereinafter, each storage chamber will be described as a first storage chamber 12a, a second storage chamber 12b, a third storage chamber 12c, and a fourth storage chamber 12d, as shown in the drawing.

The upper front surface of the main body 10 selects kimchi, vegetables, fruits, meat, etc., temperature conditions and storage time corresponding to each individually housed in each of the storage compartments 12a to 12d, or an ice making function and a rapid freezing function to be described later. The control panel 17 is provided with a plurality of selection buttons 17a for selection and a display unit 17b for displaying the selected signal.

In addition, a grip part 18 for gripping the kimchi reservoir is formed at a side of the main body 10, and a plurality of foot members 19 are mounted at a lower end of the main body 10. Although not shown, the foot member 19 is mounted differently in the function of the one located in the front and the one located in the rear, the front is used for rolling and the rear is used for the stopper.

In the machine room formed on one side of the main body 10, a compressor (not shown) for compressing a refrigerant as a component forming a refrigeration cycle and a condenser (not shown) for condensing the compressed refrigerant are provided. The evaporator (not shown) provided on the outer wall of each storage chamber 12a-12d is mutually connected by refrigerant piping.

Meanwhile, among the four storage compartments 12a to 12d, the first and second storage compartments 12a and 12b located at the upper side store the simple meats, fruits, vegetables, etc. in addition to kimchi.

In addition, the third and fourth storage chambers 12c and 12d located below are used as ice-making chambers and rapid freezing chambers according to the present invention.

To this end, the evaporator disposed on the outer walls of the third and fourth storage chambers 12c and 12d has a greater number of wounds and a finer spacing than the evaporators disposed in the first and second storage chambers 12a and 12b. Or to provide a separate compressor and condenser in the machine room and form a refrigeration cycle in a different path (hereinafter referred to as " independent cooling method ") from the evaporators disposed in the first and second reservoirs 12a and 12b. It is preferable.

As described above, the third and fourth storage compartments 12c and 12d are divided into two spaces by the partition wall 30 for the purpose thereof, and the drawer storage compartment 2c used as the vegetable compartment shown in FIG. It is made.

Accordingly, the third storage chamber 12c is used as an ice making chamber for freezing ice, and the fourth storage chamber 12d is used as a rapid freezing chamber for rapidly freezing foods, for example, fish or meat, which need to be rapidly frozen. .

It is advantageous to provide the ice maker 20 in the third storage chamber 12c used as the ice making chamber.

The ice maker 20 is a device for freezing ice by being applied to a conventional large-sized refrigerator of the front opening and closing method.

In other words, when the separate water is supplied to the third storage chamber 12c, the ice maker 20 makes it into pieces of ice and supplies it to a separate ice tray. The user only needs to remove the ice from the ice tray and use it. There is an advantage.

Thus, when using the third storage chamber 12c as an ice making chamber, as in the present invention, it would be more advantageous to have an ordinary ice maker 20.

On the other hand, if the summer season will use a lot of ice made using the ice maker 20.

However, if the amount of ice is not used as much as in winter, it will not be necessary to provide an ice making room separately.

Therefore, it is very effective to mount the above-mentioned ice maker 20 as a detachable ice maker 20 which can be detached from the third storage chamber 12c which is an ice making chamber, and the partition 30 is also manufactured to be detachably detachable. Will be advantageous.

If the ice maker 20 is removed and the partition 30 is separated and the third and fourth storage compartments 12c and 12d are used as one space, a large space is used as the ice making chamber or the entire quick freezing chamber. There is a big advantage to this.

In order to facilitate the separation of the partition wall 30, it may be advantageous to make separate rails at the lower and upper portions of the storage compartment in which the partition wall 30 is located and to push or pull the partition wall 30 to slide.

Thus, in the present invention, by separating the partition 30 in any one of each storage compartment (12a ~ 12d) and divide it into two spaces, one space is used as an ice making room, the other as a quick freezer to eat the consumer's diet It will also be able to actively respond to changes, while satisfying consumer needs.

In the above-described embodiment, referring to FIG. 2, which is a conventional drawing, the lower drawer storage compartment 2c is divided into two spaces by the partition wall 30.

However, this is just one embodiment, and may be used as an ice making chamber and a quick freezing compartment by dividing any one of the first and second storage compartments 12a and 12b into partition walls 30.

In the above-described embodiment, the second and third doors 11c and 11d, which open and close the third and fourth storage chambers 12c and 12d, are provided separately, and are fully openable, but this is also one embodiment. In addition, one door may be provided to open or close the entire third and fourth storage compartments 12c and 12d, and the method may also be employed as a drawer door.

As described above, according to the present invention, by separating the conventional drawer-type storage compartment used as a vegetable compartment into partitions and configured as a storage compartment capable of ice making function and rapid freezing, there is an effect that can actively respond to changes in the diet of consumers.
