Description

Kimchi storage having Turn-Fin Condenser

The present invention relates to a kimchi storage having a turnpin condenser, and more particularly, to change the condenser into a so-called turn-fin condenser and arrange it in the machine room while forming an air inlet on one side of the machine room and It relates to a kimchi storage having a turn-pin condenser to improve the condensation capacity of the condenser by cooling the condenser by varying the position of the cooling fan to a predetermined position inside.

In general, kimchi storage has the advantage of maintaining the freshness even after long-term storage of kimchi, unlike the conventional refrigerator.

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

1 is a partially enlarged rear perspective view of a conventional kimchi storage.

As shown in this figure, the conventional kimchi storage has a main body 110 and a storage chamber (not shown) and the machine chamber 120 is formed along the height direction therein, and a door provided to the upper portion of the main body 110 to open and close the storage chamber (Not shown).

In the machine room 120, a compressor 126 for compressing a refrigerant, a condenser 127 for condensing the compressed refrigerant, and a cooling fan 128 for cooling the compressor 126 and the condenser 127 are sequentially disposed. It is.

The condenser 127 is composed of a so-called wire condenser composed of a wire and a coil to condense the refrigerant from the compressor 126.

The cooling fan 128 is rotatably mounted in the fan housing 130, and a support plate 129 is provided below the condenser 127 to collect condensate generated during condensation.

With this configuration, when the compressor 126 is operated to compress the refrigerant at a high temperature / high pressure, the compressed refrigerant is condensed by the condenser 127 and then directed to an evaporator (not shown) disposed outside the storage compartment.

The evaporator generates cold air into the storage compartment by using latent heat of surroundings while evaporating the condensed refrigerant, and thus the inside of the storage compartment may be cooled and maintained at a predetermined temperature, so that the kimchi or the like stored in the storage compartment may be kept at a low temperature.

Meanwhile, the cooling fan 128 is operated along with the operation of the compressor 126 and the condenser 127.

By the operation of the cooling fan 128, the temperature of the refrigerant is increased during the compression and condensation of the refrigerant so that the superheated compressor 126 and the condenser 127 can be cooled.

By the way, when looking at the condenser 127 employed in the conventional kimchi storage, the so-called wire condenser composed of a wire (Wire) and a coil (Coil), the wire is a structural stability of the condenser 127 And because it serves as a fin (FIN) has a disadvantage that does not have a sufficient surface area compared to its length.

Thus, for example, if the outside temperature is assumed to be 30 ℃, the machine room 120 is to form a temperature of about 40 to 50 ℃, the conventional condenser 127 is made of a weak structure that does not radiate much heat Therefore, there is a disadvantage that the condensation capacity is lowered.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the object of the present invention is to change the condenser to the so-called turn-fin condenser (Turn-Fin Condenser) arranged in the machine room while forming an air inlet on one side of the machine room and It is to provide a kimchi storage having a turn-pin condenser to improve the condenser capacity of the condenser by cooling the condenser by varying the position of the cooling fan to a predetermined position inside the condenser.

The control panel 17 provided with is provided.

A grip handle 18 for gripping the kimchi storage is formed on the side of the main body 10, and a plurality of foot members 19a and 19b are mounted on the lower end of the main body 10.

At this time, the one foot member (19a) is made of wheels for rolling movement and the other foot member (19b) is made of an adjustable piece for height adjustment.

In the storage chamber 12 provided in the upper portion of the main body 10 is accommodated in the container not shown is stored kimchi and the like.

The outer wall surface of the storage chamber 12 is provided with an evaporator 16 that surrounds the outer wall surface in a ring shape.

The evaporator 16 is in communication with the compressor 26 and the condenser 27 disposed in the machine room 20 by the refrigerant pipe to form a refrigeration cycle.

The machine room 20 is formed in the lower area | region of the back surface of the said main body 10, The plate-shaped machine room cover 22 which opens and closes the machine room 20 is provided in front of the machine room 20 (refer FIG. 7).

As illustrated in FIG. 7, the plate surface of the machine room cover 22 not only introduces some of the external air into the machine room 20, but also a plurality of air holes for discharging heat generated in the machine room 20 to the outside. 22a is formed.

In addition, the air inlet portion 22b is formed around the air aperture 22a to have a size larger than that of the air aperture 22a and directly transfers external air to the cooling fan 28.

As shown in FIG. 3, the machine room 20 has a compressor 26 for compressing a refrigerant, a condenser 27 for condensing the compressed refrigerant, and a cooling for cooling the compressor 26 and the condenser 27. The fan 28 is arranged in sequence, and based on FIG. 3, the fan 28 is disposed to the right side toward the air inlet 22b side in the machine room 20.

On the other hand, in the present invention, the condenser 27 provided in the machine room 20 is not a so-called wire condenser 127 widely used in the prior art, but a turn-pin condenser 27 (turn-fin condenser). It is changed and adopted.

As shown in FIG. 4, the turn pin condenser 27 is formed of a structure in which a plurality of fins 27b and fins are attached to coils 27a and coils having a spring shape.

The turn pin condenser 27 has a larger surface area than the length of the coil 27a because the pin 27b is attached to the coil 27a.

That is, compared with the conventional wire type, even the length of the short coil 27a exhibits substantially the same performance.

Therefore, since the cooling fan 28 can be easily cooled and heat dissipation is maximized, its condensation efficiency can be increased.

One end of the turn pin condenser 27 is shielded by a cap 30a so that the air delivered to the turn pin condenser 27 by the cooling fan 28 is uniformly contacted with each other so that the condensation efficiency can be further improved. have.

In addition, a pair of horizontal brackets 30b are mounted on the inner and outer sides of the side portion along the longitudinal direction of the condenser 27, and the turn pin condenser 27 is placed on the support plate 29 on the horizontal brackets 30b. Vertical bracket (30c) is coupled to.

The vertical bracket (30c) is bent at the bottom side parallel to the support plate (29).

On the other hand, the horizontal bracket 30b disposed inside is provided with a pan support bracket 30d whose both ends are coupled to the left and right pair of horizontal brackets 30b and disposed along a diameter in the turnpin condenser 27, respectively.

A plurality of through holes 30e are formed in the plate surface of the pan support bracket 30d, and a cooling fan 28 is coupled to the through holes.

The state in which the cooling fan 28 is coupled to the pan support bracket 30d is well illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6.

As shown in these figures, a cooling fan 28 is coupled to a fan support bracket 30d disposed along a diameter in the turn pin condenser 27, and a cooling fan 28 behind the cooling fan 28. The motor 28a which transmits rotational power is attached to it.

Of course, the blowing direction of the air by the cooling fan 28 is directed toward the compressor 26 opposite to the cap 30a.

At this time, the axis of rotation of the cooling fan 28 is arranged on the same line as the axis in the longitudinal direction of the condenser 27.

Therefore, when the cooling fan 28 is rotated by the motor 28a, air is dispersed in the turnpin condenser 27 and transferred to the coil 27a and the pin 27b constituting the turnpin condenser 27, thereby turning the condenser. (27) can be cooled rapidly.

Of course, the cold air directed to the rear of the turn pin condenser 27 back to the cap (30a) back to help the heat dissipation of the turn pin condenser 27.

In addition, the cooling fan 28 is provided adjacent to the air inlet 22b to allow more air to flow into the machine room 20 to further increase the cooling efficiency of the turnpin condenser 27. .

With this configuration, when the compressor 26 is operated to compress the refrigerant at high temperature / high pressure, the compressed refrigerant is condensed by the turnpin condenser 27 and then directed to the evaporator 16.

The evaporator 16 generates cold air into the storage chamber 12 by using latent heat of surroundings while evaporating the condensed refrigerant.

As a result, the inside of the storage chamber 12 may be cooled to a predetermined temperature.

Meanwhile, relatively large amount of heat is generated in the compressor 26 and the turn pin condenser 27 during the operation of the compressor 26 and the turn pin condenser 27.

Thus, in conjunction with the operation of the compressor 26 and the turn pin condenser 27, a cooling fan 28 for cooling the heat generated from the compressor 26 and the turn pin condenser 27 is operated.

When the cooling fan 28 is operated, the outside air starts to flow into the machine room 20 through the air vent 22a and the air inlet 22b formed in the machine room cover 22.

In particular, the external air introduced into the air inlet 22b is directed to the turnpin condenser 27 through the cooling fan 28 directly.

At this time, since the turn fin condenser 27 of the present invention has a structure that forms a lot of heat dissipation, the outside air introduced through the air inlet 22b is dispersed in the turn pin condenser 27 by the cooling fan 28. The coil is delivered to the coil 27a and the pin 27b constituting the turn pin condenser 27.

Therefore, the heat dissipation of the turn pin condenser 27 can be maximized so that the condensation capacity of the turn pin condenser 27 can be further improved.

For example, assuming that the outdoor air temperature is 30 ℃, the machine room 20 is to form a temperature of about 40 ℃ to 50 ℃, the turn pin condenser 27 of the present invention is composed of a turn fin structure to achieve a lot of heat dissipation Therefore, the condensation capacity is improved.

In addition, since the cooling fan 28 directly transfers the external air introduced into the air inlet part 22b to the turn pin condenser 27, the amount of heat dissipation is further increased, so that the condensation capacity of the turn pin condenser 27 may be improved.

As described above, according to the present invention, the condenser 27 is changed into a so-called turn-pin condenser 27 and arranged in the machine room 20 while the air inlet 22b is provided on one side of the machine room 20. Forming and varying the position of the cooling fan 28 to a predetermined position inside the turnpin condenser 27 to allow the outside air to easily flow into the machine room 20 to maximize the condensation capacity of the turnpin condenser 27. .

In the above-described embodiment, the storage compartment 12 is shown as one, and the door 11 is shown to open and close, but this is only an embodiment. Therefore, the idea of the present invention may be applied to a kimchi storage having two or more storage compartments 12, and may be sufficiently applied to a kimchi storage having a drawer storage compartment (not shown) actively manufactured in the near future.

As described above, according to the present invention, the condenser is changed into a so-called turn-fin condenser and disposed in the machine room, while an air inlet is formed on one side of the machine room and the cooling fan is positioned at a predetermined position inside the condenser. By varying the cooling of the condenser, there is an effect that can be improved to the maximum condensation capacity of the condenser.
