2 is an exploded perspective view of a housing member and a cover of a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention. 3 is a rear perspective view of the cover according to the embodiment of the present invention. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing cross sections of A-A 'and B-B' of FIG.

2 to 4, the accommodating member 200 is formed in a shape such as a drawer mounted inside the refrigerating chamber 30, and is mainly formed to accommodate and store vegetables or fruits.

The accommodation member 200 is formed to be opened upwards, and is configured to slide in and out in front and rear. Therefore, the upper surface opened during the withdrawal of the housing member 200 may be exposed to the outside to store food such as vegetables and fruits.

In addition, a cover 300 may be provided on the opened upper surface of the accommodation member 200. The cover 300 shields the opened upper surface of the accommodating member 200. In the state where the accommodating member 200 is completely retracted, the cover 300 is sealed with an inner space of the accommodating member 200 and the refrigerating chamber 30. It may be configured to.

When the accommodating member 200 is positioned at the uppermost side of the plurality of drawers, the cover 300 shields the upper surface of the accommodating member 200 and simultaneously functions as a shelf inside the refrigerating chamber 30. It can also be done.

The cover 300 may be injection-molded from a single plastic material, and only the edge portion may be formed of a plastic material, and the portion except the edge may be formed of a transparent plastic or tempered glass material.

In addition, the cover 300 may be formed of a transparent material to enable the perspective of the interior of the receiving member 200, the lower surface of the cover 300 is a house in which the moisture inside the storage member 200 aggregates The water part 310 and the humidity visualization part 320 which are transparent when the water is aggregated in the housing member 200 are formed, respectively.

The water collecting part 310 is formed on the lower part of the cover 300 except for the humidity visualizing part 320 or the outer part of the humidity visualizing part 320, and a plurality of first recesses formed upward. It may be formed by the collecting groove 312.

The first collecting groove 312 is formed in a groove shape having a substantially triangular pyramid shape, and is formed so that moisture can be aggregated through the opening downward. A plurality of first collecting grooves 312 are continuously arranged.

In addition, the ratio of the horizontal, vertical, and height h1 of the first collecting groove 312 is about 1: 1: 0.25, and the height h2 of the second collecting groove 322 to be described below. It is significantly lower than the ratio, and thus the angle of refraction of the light is not large in the state that the moisture is not agglomerated therein can be formed to enable the perspective of the lower cover 300.

Of course, the first collecting groove 312 is recessed in the lower surface of the cover 300, it may be formed in a rectangular parallelepiped or a similar shape that is opened downward. Accordingly, water inside the accommodating member 200 may be agglomerated inside the first collecting groove 312, and water droplets collected by the surface tension of the inner surface of the first collecting groove 312 may form a condensed state. It can be maintained.

The size of the first collecting groove 312 may be formed in various ways, such that the water droplets inside the first collecting groove 312 do not fall off due to the impact or vibration applied during the draw-out operation of the storage member 200. It may be formed in the size of, and considering the size of the second catchment groove 322 to be described below may be formed so that the horizontal, vertical length of the opened surface is approximately 5mm.

In addition, when viewed from above the cover 300, the first collecting groove 312 may be in a transparent state irrespective of the aggregation of moisture, and thus, the other collecting portion (except the humidity visualization unit 320) The inside of the lower surface of the cover 300 may be identified through 310.

Of course, at this time, the collecting part 310 is not completely transparent state, such as glass, and the pattern shape of the first collecting groove 312 is shown. If necessary, the water collecting part 310 may be formed to be in an opaque state.

On the other hand, the humidity visualization unit 320 is formed on the other side of the cover except for the water collecting unit 310. The humidity visualization unit 320 may be formed to be selectively transparent or opaque according to the humidity inside the accommodating member 200 by a plurality of second collection grooves 322 to be described below.

The second collecting groove 322 is formed on the lower surface of the cover 300, the second collecting groove 322 is to allow the moisture inside the receiving member 200 to be collected in a droplet state. , It may be formed in the shape of a horn-shaped groove that becomes narrower toward the top.

In detail, the second collecting groove 322 is formed in a recessed shape to facilitate the aggregation of moisture in the receiving member 200, and the water droplets are formed by the surface tension formed by the inclined surface 312. 322 is formed to maintain a state attached to the inside.

On the other hand, the plurality of second catchment grooves 322 are formed to be inclined inwardly becomes narrower toward the top, and the angle of the inclined surface 312 may be formed to be approximately 40 ° ~ 50 °.

In the state where the water droplets are not collected inside the second collecting groove 322, the second collecting groove 322 is formed when viewed from above the cover 300 by the refraction by the inclined surface 312. It becomes an opaque state.

On the other hand, in a state in which water droplets are collected inside the second collecting groove 322, light refracted by the water filled inside the second collecting groove 322 does not occur, so that the cover 300 is upward. When viewed from the portion of the second catchment groove 322 is a transparent state, the area of the cover 300 is formed a plurality of second catchment groove 322 can be a transparent state.

For example, when the angle of the inclined surface 324 is approximately 45 degrees angle, the light incident on the second catchment groove 322 is refracted, so that it is most opaque when there is no moisture inside the second catchment groove 322. . In addition, when water is filled in the second collecting grooves 322, the light is hardly refracted to be in a transparent state.

The second collecting groove 322 may be formed in a square pyramid or a square pyramid shape, and the plurality of second collecting grooves 322 are formed to be in continuous contact with each other. That is, the second collecting groove 322 is formed in the same shape as one independent cell, and the plurality of second collecting grooves 322 are in contact with each other in the opened lower surface of the adjacent second collecting grooves 322. The tips may be formed to be in contact with each other.

Meanwhile, the opened lower surface of the second collecting groove 322 is formed in a quadrangular shape, and the horizontal and vertical lengths of the opened lower surface and the height h2 of the second collecting groove 322 are approximately 1: 1: 0.5. It may be formed to have a ratio of.

In this case, the second collecting groove 322 may be formed in various sizes according to the amount of water droplets aggregated therein, but withdrawal of the accommodating member 200 in consideration of the surface tension and the weight of the water droplets contained therein. Water droplets inside the second catchment groove 322 may be formed to a size that does not easily fall due to vibration or shock caused by the mouth.

For example, the horizontal length of the opened lower surface of the second catchment groove 322 is formed to be approximately 0.5 ~ 5mm to maintain a condensed state of the water droplets collected therein, and through the second catchment groove 322 The second catchment groove 322 may be formed to a desired size according to the degree of visualization.

The size of the second catching groove 322 may be smaller than the size of the first catching groove 312 forming the catching part 310, and the moisture inside the receiving member 200 may be reduced. The moisture collecting part 320 may be formed so as to fill the second collecting groove 322 first so that the humidity visualizing part 320 may become a transparent state more quickly.

On the other hand, the plurality of second catchment grooves 322 are in contact with each other to form the humidity visualization unit 320. In this case, the humidity visualization unit 320 is formed to represent a specific letter, number, figure, shape, etc. by the plurality of second catchment grooves 322, the moisture in the second catchment grooves (322). When the aggregated state becomes transparent, the humidity visualizing unit 320 becomes transparent through the cover 300 so that the user can indicate the humidity inside the accommodating member 200.

When the size and number of the second collecting grooves 322 are formed so as to match the appropriate humidity in the accommodating member 200, when the humidity of the accommodating member 200 reaches an appropriate humidity, It may be formed so that the pattern of the humidity visualization unit 320 can appear clearly.

On the other hand, since the portions in contact with the catcher 310 and the humidity visualization unit 320 are different in size from each other, when the humidity visualization unit 320 becomes transparent, a boundary line appears, and the first collection groove 312 and When the size difference of the second collecting groove 322 is large, the circumferential portion of the pattern represented by the humidity visualization unit 320 may be roughly expressed.

Accordingly, a boundary collecting groove having a length of approximately 0.5 mm in length and width may be formed along a boundary line between the collecting portion 310 and the humidity visualization unit 320. The boundary catchment groove 330 may be formed in a horn shape like the second catchment groove 322.

In addition, the first catching groove 312 may also be formed in a horn shape like the second catching groove 322. In this case, the size of the first catching groove 312 is necessarily the second catching groove ( It is formed larger than the size of the 322, the second catchment groove 322 may be configured so that the moisture is first aggregated so that the humidity visualization unit 320 is transparent.

Hereinafter, the state of the cover according to the humidity state of the housing member according to an embodiment of the present invention having the configuration as described above with reference to the drawings.

5 is a cross-sectional view of a cover in a state in which water is not agglomerated in a collecting groove according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. 6 is a top view of a cover in a state in which water is not agglomerated in a water collecting groove according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, when vegetables or fruits are not stored inside the storage member 200 or the humidity is low after storage, the water collecting unit 310 and the humidity visualization of the cover 300 are visualized. Water droplets do not form on all of the parts 320.

In this state, when looking toward the inside of the housing member 200 from above the cover 300, in the humidity visualization unit 320, the light is refracted by the inclined surface 312 as shown in FIG. It becomes impossible to see through. That is, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the collecting part 310 formed on the bottom surface of the cover 300 is in a state where the shape of the first collecting groove is visible but is visible through the inside, and the humidity visualization part 320 is formed of the first collecting part 310. The second collecting groove 322 is completely opaque.

Therefore, only the humidity visualization unit 320 is opaque in the cover 300, and the pattern represented by the humidity visualization unit 320 may be clearly displayed through the cover 300.

When the humidity inside the accommodating member 200 rises, moisture may begin to aggregate in the first collecting groove 312 and the second collecting groove 322, and the collecting part 310 and the humidity visualization part Water droplets are formed in the first and second collection grooves 312 and 322 forming the 320.

The user may check the internal humidity state of the accommodating member 200 by maintaining the opacity state of the humidity visualizing unit 320, and remove moisture from the accommodating member 200 or the cover 300. It is easy to determine that there is no need to perform the operation such as removing the condensation.

7 is a cross-sectional view of a cover in a state in which water is aggregated in a collecting groove according to an embodiment of the present invention. 8 is a top view of a cover in a state in which water is aggregated in a water collecting groove according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The inside of the c) begins to aggregate moisture, and as the humidity increases, the amount of moisture aggregated inside the first catching groove 312 and the second catching groove 322 increases.

At this time, since the size of the first catching groove 312 is larger than the second catching groove 322, water droplets may be first filled in the second catching groove 322, and Water droplets form inside.

As such, when the inside of the second collecting groove 322 is filled with water droplets, the water droplets inside the second collecting groove 322 cover the inclined surface 312 as shown in FIG. 6, and the inclined surface 312. ) Is hardly reflected by the light, so that the second catchment groove 322 is transparent.

When a sufficient amount of moisture is aggregated in such a state, water droplets may be filled in the entirety of the second collection grooves 322 forming the humidity visualization unit 320, and thus, the second collection groove ( The entirety of 322, that is, the entirety of the humidity visualization unit 320, becomes transparent so that a specific pattern represented by the humidity visualization unit 320 is clearly displayed.

When the cover 300 is viewed from above in this state, as shown in FIG. 8, a portion of the plurality of second collecting grooves 322 filled with water droplets, that is, a part of the humidity visualization unit 320 is transparent. Through the humidity visualization unit 320 of the cover 300, the interior of the accommodation member 200 is visible.

In other words, when the humidity inside the accommodating member 200 increases, the second collecting groove 322 formed at the center of the cover 300 starts to become transparent, and gradually increases the humidity as the transparent region. It starts to expand outwardly from this central portion, so that the entire humidity visualization unit 320 can be transparent.

Of course, the size of one of the second catchment grooves 322 is such that the water droplets do not fall downward due to surface tension even when the water droplets are completely filled, and after the water droplets are completely filled inside the second catchment grooves 322. Agglomeration of moisture in the other adjacent second collecting groove 322 may be gradually spread out.

In addition, when the humidity visualization unit 320 is in a state of being transparent to some extent, the internal humidity of the accommodating member 200 may be determined to be an appropriate humidity. In addition, when the entirety of the humidity visualization unit 320 is completely transparent, the internal humidity of the accommodating member 200 may be determined to be somewhat high.

Of course, according to the size of the humidity visualization unit 320 may be designed to be a proper humidity only when the entire humidity visualization unit 320 is transparent.

Therefore, when it is determined that the humidity inside the storage member 200 is above a predetermined level, it may be desirable to perform another operation to reduce the humidity inside the storage member 200. The water droplets formed on the first and second water collecting grooves 312 and 322 are wiped and removed to prevent the water droplets from falling or forming on the vegetables or fruits stored in the accommodating member 200.

On the other hand, when formed in the shape of a horn, such as the first catching groove 312 or the second catching groove 322, the size is formed larger, only a certain amount of water is filled in the first catching groove 312 When it is lost, the first catchment groove 312 may also be in a transparent state.

When the water collecting part 310 also becomes a transparent state, when the humidity inside the accommodating member 200 becomes high, the entire cover 300 may be almost completely transparent. In this case, the accommodating member 200 It can be judged that the interior is rather humid. Therefore, the user can perform operations such as dehumidification and water droplet removal.
