Description

Kimchi container {KIMCHI VESSEL}

The present invention relates to a kimchi container, and more particularly to a kimchi container configured to be used by separating or combining two or more cases.

In general, the kimchi container is used in a kimchi refrigerator or a conventional refrigerator having a ripening mode and a refrigeration mode, and is stored in the kimchi refrigerator or the storage room of the refrigerator with kimchi.

Conventional kimchi container that performs this function is provided with a cover that covers the opening of the case, the top is open. The case is usually made of a square, the storage space is formed inside.

Therefore, the fresh kimchi is placed in the storage space in the case and covers the cover. And when the kimchi container containing kimchi is put into the storage room of the kimchi refrigerator one by one and the control panel is operated, the kimchi is aged and refrigerated.

However, the conventional kimchi container has a problem that it takes a lot of power when put into or take out the kimchi refrigerator because its size is large.

In particular, when looking at the storage chamber of the kimchi refrigerator from the top, it was common that the conventional kimchi container is formed so as to correspond to a size equal to two times the longitudinal direction of the storage chamber. Accordingly, housewives who are the main users of the kimchi refrigerator have been uncomfortable due to the size and weight of the kimchi container.

On the other hand, miniaturizing the kimchi container to solve such a problem is inconvenient to organize in the storage room of the kimchi refrigerator, there is a disadvantage that looks messy when viewed from the top of the storage room. That is, the problem is difficult to organize.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the object of the present invention is configured to separate or combine two or more cases can be used to change the storage space as small or large as needed Kimchi To provide courage.

Kimchi container of the present invention for achieving the above object, the first case is formed a locking groove; A second case having a locking hole formed to be inserted into the locking groove; And a cover covering the first and second cases, wherein two or more of the first and second cases are coupled by the engaging groove and the engaging port.

In addition, the cover is preferably formed separately to be coupled to the first and second cases, respectively.

And, the cover is preferably formed integrally to cover all of the two or more first and second cases coupled.

On the other hand, it is preferable that the partition is formed in the cover so as to divide and seal the portions in which the two or more first and second cases face each other.

Further, it formed into the locking groove '┏ ┓' cross-section, preferably formed by '⊥' the engaging section sphere.

According to the kimchi container of the present invention, it is configured to separate or combine the two or more first and second cases by the locking groove and the locking hole, there is an effect that can be used to change the storage space to small or large as needed.

In particular, when the two or more first and second cases are separately used to eliminate the inconvenience of storage due to weight,

In addition, when two or more first and second cases are used in combination, the kimchi refrigerators are easily stored in a storage compartment.

In addition, the cover is covered with a cover corresponding to each size when the first and second cases are separated or combined.

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

Before describing the kimchi container according to the present invention, first, to explain the kimchi refrigerator to help in understanding the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the kimchi refrigerator 100 includes a cabinet 110 in which a storage compartment 111 and a machine compartment 112 are partitioned, and a door coupled to and hinged to an upper portion of the cabinet 110 to open and close the storage compartment 111. 120, an electric heater 101 embedded in the wall of the cabinet 110 to perform the kimchi ripening mode, and an evaporator 102 for performing the refrigeration mode.

In addition, a plurality of kimchi containers 200 containing a large amount of kimchi are stacked and stored in the storage chamber 111 of the cabinet 110.

Hereinafter, the kimchi container 200 according to the present invention.

As shown in Figure 2 to 6, the kimchi container 200 according to the present invention, the first case 210 is formed with a locking groove 211 and the locking hole (210) to be inserted into the locking groove (211) A second case 220 is formed and a cover 230 covering the first and second cases 210 and 220.

Accordingly, two or more first and second cases 210 and 220 are coupled by the engaging groove 211 and the engaging hole 221.

In other words, when seen from the bottom surface of the first and second cases 210 and 220, the engaging groove 211 is formed in a '┏ ┓' cross section, the locking sphere 221 is formed in the engaging '⊥' section The grooves 211 and the locking holes 221 are engaged with each other so that the first and second cases 210 and 220 are coupled to each other.

In addition, the first and second cases 210 and 220 are usually made of plastic injection molding, and are formed in a rectangular cylindrical shape with an open top, and the first and second cases 210 and 220 are coupled to each other for hermetic coupling with the cover 230. 201 is formed along the open end. In addition, fixing surfaces 202 protruding outwardly and vertically are formed on respective surfaces of the upper ends of the first and second cases 210. The fixing protrusion 202 is formed long in the horizontal direction.

On the other hand, the cover 230, as described above, for closing the opening of the case 210, is made of a plastic injection molding is formed with a concave coupling groove 231 along the edge, the coupling groove 231 ), A sealing (not shown) is added to prevent the kimchi liquid from leaking to the outside. Therefore, as the coupling portion 201 is inserted into the coupling groove 231, the cover 230 is hermetically coupled to the open ends of the first and second cases 210 and 220.

In addition, the engaging pieces 232 protrude from the front end portions of the surfaces of the cover 230. The coupling piece 232 is formed in a plate shape protruding to have a predetermined area is formed so that the portion in contact with the front end of the cover 230 can be folded downward.

In addition, the fixing piece 233 is formed on the coupling piece 232. The fixing slit 233 is joined to the fixing protrusions 202 of the first and second cases 210 and 220 when the coupling piece 232 is folded, so that the fixing slit 233 is cut in the horizontal direction corresponding to the shape of the fixing protrusion 202. (I) formed.

On the other hand, it is preferable that a handle (not shown) for facilitating movement or storage work on the side surfaces of the first and second cases 210 and 220 or the upper surface of the cover 230 is preferably provided.

In addition, when the first and second cases 210 and 220 are separated and used as shown in FIG. 3, the cover 230 is separately formed to cover open ends of the first and second cases 210 and 220, respectively.

6 and 7, when the two or more first and second cases 210 and 220 are combined and used, the cover 230 is integrally formed to cover all the open ends of the first and second cases 210 and 220. do. On the other hand, the cover 230 is preferably formed to correspond to the shape of the open end of the first and second cases (210, 220).

In addition, the cover 230 is formed with a partition portion 234 so that the two or more first and second cases 210 and 220 face each other to be divided and sealed, and the contents contained in the first and second cases 210 and 220, respectively. This will prevent the movement of. On the other hand, it is preferable that the sealing is added to the partition 234.

As mentioned above, although preferred embodiment of this invention was described in detail, the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, It should be interpreted by the claim. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that many modifications and variations are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention.
