Description
The present invention relates to a cold air duct system for a refrigerator, and more particularly to a cold air duct system for a refrigerator that can adjust the direction of the cold air supplied through the duct according to the location of the food stored in the refrigerator compartment.
In general, the refrigerator cools or stores the food stored therein for a long time without deterioration by cooling the air in the refrigerator using a cooling cycle.
As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional refrigerator includes a
And the refrigerating
That is, the
In addition, a mechanical device (not shown) having a refrigerating cycle for cooling the refrigerating
In addition, the refrigerating
That is, the mechanical device cools the refrigerant through a compressor and a condenser, and the cooled refrigerant absorbs the heat of the
Therefore, the food is stored at a low temperature through the refrigerator having the above structure.
However, since the cold air duct system of the refrigerator having the above structure always supplies cold air in the same wind direction regardless of the location of the food stored in the refrigerating chamber, a lot of time is required for food stored at a location where the cold air cannot be supplied. There was a problem that takes, and accordingly there was a problem that deterioration or greatly reduced freshness.
The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator cold air duct system that can adjust the direction of the cold air according to the location of the food stored in the refrigerator compartment.
The first invention of the refrigerator cold air duct system of the present invention for achieving the above object is a cold air duct formed in the refrigerator so that the cold air of the freezer compartment is delivered to the cold compartment, a plurality of blowing fans provided inside the cold duct, one side of the shelf A tilt detection sensor installed on the shelf and detecting the inclination of the shelf by food placed on one side of the shelf, and a control unit for operating a blowing fan close to the inclined portion based on a signal transmitted by the tilt detection sensor. It is characterized by.
In addition, the second invention of the refrigerator cold air duct system of the present invention is a cold air duct formed in the refrigerator so that the cold air in the freezer compartment is delivered to the cold compartment, a plurality of blowing fans provided inside the cold duct, one side of the shelf is installed on one side of the shelf Weight control sensor for detecting the weight of the food is placed, characterized in that it comprises a control unit for operating a blowing fan in close proximity to the detection signal based on the signal transmitted by the weight sensor.
In addition, the third invention of the refrigerator cold air duct system of the present invention is a cold air duct formed in the refrigerator so that the cold air in the freezer compartment to the cold compartment, a plurality of ventilation fans provided inside the cold air duct, a plurality of light emission installed on the back of the door An optical sensor installed on the inner surface of the refrigerator and the refrigerating chamber and having a plurality of sensing units for detecting an output signal of the light emitting unit, and a blower fan that is close to a portion where an output signal is not detected based on a signal transmitted by the optical sensor. It characterized in that it comprises a control unit to make.
In addition, the fourth invention of the refrigerator cold air duct system of the present invention is a cold air duct formed in the refrigerator so that the cold air of the freezer compartment is delivered to the cold compartment, a plurality of blowing fans provided in the cold air duct, the refrigerator is installed on the top of the storage of food Including an infrared sensor for detecting whether or not, and a control unit for operating a blowing fan in close proximity to the detection signal based on the signal transmitted by the infrared sensor.
By installing the cold air duct system having the above configuration in the refrigerator, the direction of the food stored in the refrigerating compartment can be adjusted according to the location, so that the food can be rapidly cooled, thereby greatly improving the cooling efficiency, and required to cool the food. It is possible to greatly shorten the time it takes, and there is an effect that can be stored fresh for a long time.
