The present invention relates to a kimchi refrigerator combined with a rice bucket by adding a rice bucket to a device for storing kimchi, etc., in particular, without passing a separate cooling device such as a cooling pipe to the rice bucket to deliver cold air or contact with cold air By refrigeration of grains in the rice barrel prevents bugs that are likely to occur in the grains in advance, maintains the nutritional value and taste of the grains, and relates to a device that can be conveniently used in daily life in weighing and discharging grains.

In general, lowering the temperature of the system below the ambient temperature is called refrigeration, and the main purpose of removing heat from an object that maintains a constant low temperature is called a freezer, and a refrigerator is a type of device having a built-in freezer. The principle of refrigerating of Kimchi refrigerator and general refrigerator is the same. Compressor of low / low pressure from the evaporator is compressed by the compressor and sent to the condenser. The condenser condenses high-temperature and high-pressure gas (refrigerant gas). To liquefy and pass the expansion valve, which is a flow control valve that throttles and expands the cooled liquid at high temperature and high pressure in the evaporator to facilitate evaporation in the evaporator. It is a principle that the refrigerant is evaporated while absorbing heat from the material to be cooled in an evaporator to achieve the purpose of refrigeration. The refrigerant vaporized by expansion is repeated in the refrigeration cycle of mechanically compressing in the compressor.

Unlike most home refrigerators, the Kimchi refrigerator used in homes is a direct cooling type that absorbs heat directly from the freezing load as the latent heat of the refrigerant. Most of them are manufactured according to the principle, and there are several storage containers made for the capacity of the inside of the refrigerating chamber so that they can be easily stored with Kimchi, vegetables, fruits, and fish meat. It is a device for storing and storing kimchi, vegetables, fruits, fish meat, etc. according to convenience, and its name is given to make it convenient for fermentation / maturation and storage of kimchi. Most of the freezer / refrigeration type of the general household refrigerator is liver-cooled (間 冷 式), and the kimchi stored in the general refrigerator is stored immediately, which is different from the fermentation / aging / preservation of the kimchi refrigerator. Kimchi refrigerator has an upper lid type for storing the storage container (commonly referred to as kimchi container) from above, and a drawer type for storing the kimchi container by opening it in a drawer type, a combination of the two models, or an upright type. A variety of products are available, including those that open the front door like a normal home refrigerator. In fact, the Kimchi storage compartment is filled with Kimchi barrels, so there is no space, so it is not suitable to cool by forced circulation of cold air. Most of the lid-type or drawer-type refrigeration systems are equipped with a control valve that sends cold air to each chamber. .

In addition, the rice refrigerator is released, but because it is to store only the rice (grains) refrigeration for this purpose is provided separately, the need for a space to place the rice refrigerator, the need for electricity to operate a separate freezer, and accordingly There is an additional burden of cost. Some models suggest a means of filling grain into rice barrels by vacuum suction while the rice bag is placed on the floor, but in this way, the rice of the rice bag cannot be sucked altogether. There was a drawback of power consumption and costs, and the disadvantages of noise and dust generation when operating the vacuum pump. Even in the refrigerator that suggests the top discharging method, the method of installing the screw tube and the screw in the rice container and rotating the screw to transfer the grain to the upper part also has the drawback that the grain of the grain is broken due to the rotation of the screw. Weighing the required amount was entirely dependent on eye or experience. In addition, some rice refrigerators have a problem in that cold air is circulated in the oven (intercooling), which results in deodorization of stored grains, and deterioration of grain quality due to repeated ice freezing and thawing. In addition, the problem that causes the waste of power and cost is the biggest drawback, since the performance of the rice refrigerator is excessively higher than meets the purpose of refrigeration so weak that the grain does not cause worms. .

Although simple household rice buckets are distributed without refrigeration on the market, some rice barrels are equipped with a small storage box that puts garlic or charcoal in the center of the lid of the rice barrel to prevent bugs. There are only rice barrels that are designed to prevent the occurrence of rice bugs by the smell of antimicrobial ingredients.In addition, the grains stored in these rice barrels often cause bugs, and the fatty acids contained in the grains are oxidized when stored at room temperature for a long time. There was a problem of dropping (味 感), and there was a problem of occupying a separate space in which rice barrel furniture should be placed in the kitchen. Many people find bugs, such as maggots, when they cook rice from grains stored in these rice bowls, and when they invite guests, the bugs are found in the guests' rice and they are very depressed. In addition, worms in rice cause loss of nutrients, which is disadvantageous to health.

On the other hand, some of them have been released called Kimchi Refrigerator for rice, but most of them use one of several containers for grain storage. It is only a storage container, and has been troublesome and inconvenient in daily use of filling / discharging grains, and it has the same disadvantages as the rice refrigerator because it has a refrigeration device up to the area where the grain storage container is located. Kimchi refrigerator could not be called.

The present invention has been devised to improve the above problems and inconveniences, and to achieve this purpose, a grain storage unit (partly distinct from kimchi storage unit) including a fixed rice barrel and a measuring port and an outlet on one side or the middle of the main body. The present invention proposes a kimchi refrigerator of a rice barrel combined with maintaining a proper water content while keeping the inside of the rice container at a low temperature by providing an integrally provided, a measuring instrument transfer means, and transferring a part of the cold air of the kimchi storage unit to the rice container. Therefore, the grain storage unit in the present design refers to a concept including a rice barrel, a meter, an ejector, and a transfer device, not merely storing grains in a storage container.

The present invention is a kimchi refrigerator equipped with a grain storage unit including a rice barrel, a measuring instrument and an outlet port on one side or the middle of the kimchi refrigerator for ripening, fermenting and refrigerating kimchi. It is about. In other words, the kimchi refrigerator and the furniture-type rice container are fused to convert to a new concept of kitchen appliances. To this end, the present invention incorporates a phototransistor including a driving device driving signal on a display for displaying the function selection and adjustment of the Kimchi refrigerator body, and enables radio control from outside the house. ), Infrared, LonWork technology (currently adopted by domestic S company, developing and using its own protocol), embedded chip suitable for building UPnP or digital home network, The user is provided with a remote controller with a built-in light emitting diode (LED) that matches the code, and installs a grain storage unit with a partition wall between one side (right or left) or the middle of the main body, There is a mechanism for measuring grain extraction within the grain storage section, a mechanism for discharging and means for operating these mechanisms. The ball. Meanwhile, a freezer is installed at the bottom of the grain storage unit, and the rice container of the grain storage unit provides a means for delivering cold air from the kimchi storage unit. In other words, the freezer for kimchi storage is displaced toward the grain storage section, while pursuing the fusion to deliver the cold air of the kimchi storage room for the refrigeration of rice barrels. Since the digital home network implementation method is not currently standardized, the present invention does not suggest a specific method (not shown in the window) but only a method for preparing the same.

In the present design, when referring to the location of the grain storage unit, the left side, the right side, or the middle of the body is collectively referred to as "one side". In other words, the concept of 'middle' is included on one side. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the direction of the front, rear, left, right, up and down is referred to as a center of the rice container.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is a first preferred embodiment. It is provided with a bowl-type meter (referred to as meter in the present invention) 7 and a bowl-type outlet (referred to as in the present invention) (8), which is filled with grain at the top and discharged at the top. One side (in the case of the middle of the present embodiment) the upper portion of the grain storage portion consists of a refracted two-stage rice lid that is lightly run in the middle and rear portion and lifted from the front. The front part of the rice lid is opened by the first refraction at about 20cm, and the cross-sectional shape of this part forms a "memory (a) shape", and the rice lid of the front part is a meter / discharger or a belt for a belt conveyor. Open it to check the back, and open the large rice lid attached to the rear light chip when cleaning or repairing the inside of the rice bowl. The large rice lid again provides a seat (sometimes called a rice bag seat) (4) in which a portion of the rice bag can be placed on the side and is placed in the center of the rice bag seat (in this embodiment). (5) are formed. Kimchi refrigerator combined use of this type of rice barrel to provide the customer with a full knife (6) as an accessory to be used when filling the rice in the rice barrel (3). The rice bag is most contaminated by the top / bottom corners (upright) and the front / back (laid down) depending on how it is placed on the ground or on the floor. When filling, place the knife into the side edge of the rice bag and place it on the rice bag so that the knife fits into the filling passage. Can be implemented. In the belt 10, a plurality of grain weighers 7 are fastened one by one in a partition to form a bucket conveyor (hereinafter referred to as a belt conveyor). Rollers are formed on both sides of the weighing machine 7. 14) moves along the fence-shaped curved tracks 16 on both sides of the ejector 8 and then falls from the cut-away type jaw 12. If the meter just before the fixed position is the second position, the length of the fixed position and the second position is defined as one compartment, and the distances of all weighing periods are divided into equal intervals, and the belt is connected to the motor. A driving pulley 17 on the top of the discharger circulates the upper and lower parts and the front part of the inner part of the rice barrel and the inner part of the rice barrel in a loop shape. It's mounted on the children pulley where it's turning. The pulley between the first position and the first position consists of a two-piece pulley, which passes through the suspension of the meter and maintains the proper rotational speed of the belt. The motor is provided with a reduction gear integrally, the switch for starting the motor is in the function operation unit and the remote control, and the curved track 16 is provided on both sides of the upper part of the discharger in the process of the meter from the second position to the correct position. The lever of the limit switch when lifting the lower part of the meter and dumping the meter contents as the meter progresses while guiding the roller of the meter and dropping the jaw of the curved track while the meter dumps the contents. Turn off the driving power by turning off the belt, limit switch is composed of linear mechanical (lever type), The limit switch is mounted on the side of the jaw of the curved track to cut off the power supplied to the motor, and in order to extract the grain, the user presses the motor switch button on the control panel or the motor operation key on the remote control to drive the motor drive circuit. It provides a power intermittent control means by rotating the belt while the electric motor is rotated when a signal is supplied, and the bottom and the front of the rice barrel at the rear side of the rice barrel for the flow of the belt and the meter. Front side) The meter passage 19 is provided over the middle portion, and tracks for guiding rollers are formed on both sides of the inside of the meter passage, and the meter passage is the middle of the second position and the third position of the inner side of the rice barrel. It ends at the site and opens inside the rice bowl. Thus, the meter at the second position is filled with grain from the third position to the second position. If the grain of one meter is insufficient, the belt is driven to repeat the operation of transporting the meter of the second position to the correct position. When the meter is removed from the end of the discharge and the motor is driven, it moves along the track, rotating along the belt like a bucket conveyor. The driving method of the drive pulley 17 and the motor is connected to the spur gear of the electric motor (including the reducer) under the ejector, and is connected to the drive pulley by a drive belt or an intermediate gear on the outside of the right curved track. Alternatively, it is possible to place the motor under the discharger and connect it to the drive pulley at the right end of the shaft with a belt / spur gear or the like. The front of the ejector is formed with a concave handle for easy extraction to the outside, and the bottom has a permanent magnet built in so that the magnets and poles in the ejector housing bottom are opposite to each other. The guide groove is formed to match the rail of the. The embodiment has the advantage that it is possible to easily maintain a low temperature with only cold air in the vicinity of the kimchi storage unit on both sides without the means for refrigeration of grain.

As a variation of the first embodiment, a device in which power is cut off by operating a photo sensor or a photo switch in a fixed position instead of a limit switch is also possible. As a further modification of the first embodiment, it is possible to prevent the belt from slipping by protruding teeth of the gear, such as an automobile timing belt, on the inner surface of the belt and the driving pulley. Embodiments of such modifications are not shown.

2 shows a second embodiment. Only the portion of the structure of the first embodiment which drives the belt manually is a different example, and since it is driven manually, the grain storage portion cannot be arranged in the middle and is placed on the left or right side. (In this description, the case where the grain storage unit is on the right side for the sake of superiority) The position of the driving pulley 17 is located in the upper part of the ejector, and the driving pulley is located in the crank 10 installed on the right side of the main body. It is coupled to the shaft, and when the crank is manually rotated, the drive pulley rotates in tandem, and when the meter reaches the jaw of the curved track, the crank stops rotating. The handle of the crank is foldable so that it is usually folded. To remove the grain, the user unfolds the handle of the crank on the right side and rotates it until the falling sound of the meter is lifted, lifting the weighing machine to the right position and stopping the crank rotation. Therefore, the spur gear or limit switch or the The grains can be extracted as in the first embodiment without the need for a sensor or the like, and the user repeatedly rotates the crank as necessary to extract the grains. In this embodiment, since the crank is on the right side and the pulley or belt interlocked on the right side, the rice bag seat is installed on the left side of the rice lid.

In the first and second embodiments, if one meter capacity is 2 servings and the preferred capacity of 1 serving is 180 ml, the capacity of grain of one meter will be 360 ml, and the size can be changed.

Hereinafter, a method of delivering cold air to a rice container is provided.

The cooling pipe in the kimchi storage partition remains as it is, but if the internal insulation of the kimchi storage partition facing the rice container is partially removed or thinned, the cold air is transferred to the rice container as it is, resulting in a refrigeration effect. When the grain storage unit is placed in the middle, only a slight thinning of the insulation material is very economical because it has a great effect. By adjusting the lamination so that the rice barrel is not colder than necessary, the grain can be refrigerated without sacrificing thermal efficiency. In the case where the grain storage unit is located in the middle, the means for utilizing contact cold air without thinly or thinly insulating the insulation is omitted.

FIG. 8 shows the cooling pipes of the kimchi storage unit and the insulation of the bulkheads as they are, and the natural convection of two very small pipes (hereinafter referred to as airway) 20 for heat transfer in the upper part of the kimchi storage unit. By the cold pipe of the kimchi storage unit to send the rice through the lower pipe by the upper pipe to the kimchi storage unit to send the cooling method. Convection through the airway is relatively fast when the temperature of the rice container and the kimchi storage is large, but the convection is almost lost when the temperature on both sides of the upper pipe is similar. The advantage of this method depends on the difficulty of embedding the heat transfer airway.

As a variant of this embodiment, a method of embedding one airway is presented. In this case, since there is only one airway, cooling is conducted by conduction rather than convection, and the cooling rate is very slow. In other words, the cold air at the end of the rice barrel airway takes the temperature of the rice container and cools it. The illustration is omitted.

FIG. 9 shows a method of installing a metal material having a high thermal conductivity such as a heat sink (hereinafter referred to as a thermal conductive material) 21 so that both ends thereof are placed over a rice container and a kimchi storage room. The heat conducting material forms the "H" shape, and the vertical part is vertically bonded to the kimchi storage room and the wall of the rice container. When the heat conducting material is cooled by the cold air of the kimchi storage part, the heat conductive material cools the temperature of the rice container slowly and is conducted to the rice container. The cold air cools the air in the rice bowl, and the cooled air is lowered, and the upper layer has a weak air convection, forming an air layer to be cooled. The heat conduction also stops when the temperature of the rice bowl is cooled to the top of the heat conducting material. In this method, although the cooling rate is slow, the grain stored in the rice container is stored continuously for a long time, so the cooling rate is not a problem, and once the temperature in the rice container is cooled, the cold air stays as it is, and it is very easy to install and process It is also preferable as a heat transfer method because it is simple and saves all costs and heat loss.

By cooling the grains stored in the rice barrels (rice and sometimes grains) without installing a separate cooling pipe, the grains of our people can be stored for a long time without rice worms or mold, and can be eaten hygienic in summer. The nutritional value can be maintained and the moisture content can be maintained by not dehydrating moisture from the grains. The cold air of the existing kimchi storage room is used, so there is almost no burden of cooling cost of the rice barrel and the cooling system under the kimchi storage room It is easy to expand the storage space of the Kimchi storage room by displacing it down the grain storage section, and saves space and saves the power and cost of purchasing a separate device than installing a furniture such as a rice bucket or a rice refrigerator separately. Can be used to automatically carry out weighing and discharging of grains and to control the temperature of Kimchi refrigerators. It also provides the convenience of using a remote control.

With the globalization of food, Kimchi, Kimchi Refrigerator, which combines rice containers of the present invention, will be a very useful home appliance. It is also useful for storage of foods that require refrigeration, such as date palms in the Middle East, in temperate and tropical regions of rice.

The present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, but this is only exemplified for the purpose of describing the present invention, and those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that various modifications and equivalent embodiments of the present invention are therefrom. I understand that it is possible. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention should be defined only by the technical spirit of the attached utility model registration claims.
