Description

{Container for refrigerator and refrigerator}

The present invention relates to a container for a refrigerator and a refrigerator. More particularly, the present invention relates to a container for a refrigerator which is provided with a cold air inlet through which cool air discharged from a cold air outlet of a refrigerator is introduced into a container separable from the refrigerator, .

The conventional refrigerator has a rapid cooling chamber fixed inside the storage chamber so that the cooling air can be rapidly cooled by supplying cool air to the rapid cooling chamber as required. (Korean Patent Publication No. 136406, 1996-0024136, Korean Patent Publication No. 1994-0020072)

However, if the rapid cooling chamber is fixed inside the storage chamber and the rapid cooling volume is determined, the cooling efficiency becomes low or the rapid cooling can not be performed at once if the number of foods to be rapidly cooled is small or small. In addition, when the rapid cooling chamber is fixedly installed in the storage chamber and is not rapidly cooled, the space occupied by the rapid cooling chamber can not be used or is inconvenient to use, resulting in an inefficient use of the refrigerator space. Further, there is a problem in that the food is put in or taken out from the rapid cooling chamber, and there is a problem that it is also difficult to wash. Even if a rapid cooling chamber is formed by providing a detachable shelf or the like in the storage room, a clearance is generated between the shelf and the storage chamber inner wall, resulting in a rapid cooling efficiency due to the outflow of cool air and a separate locking protrusion And so on.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is conceived to solve the above-described problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a cooling apparatus and a cooling apparatus which can change rapid cooling volume according to circumstances, And it is an object of the present invention to provide a container for a refrigerator and a refrigerator which can be used in any refrigerator and can be used in common.

In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a container for a refrigerator, comprising a container body formed with a charging port, a cover covering the charging port and detachable from the refrigerator, And a cold air inlet through which cool air flows is formed.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a refrigerator including: a storage chamber having a cool air discharge port through which cold air is discharged; a lid disposed inside the storage chamber and formed with an inlet port and a cool air inlet port, And a control unit for controlling the cool air discharged to the cool air discharge port so that the cool air discharge port communicates with the cool air discharge port so that the cool air discharged to the cool air discharge port flows into the cool air discharge port .

In the rapid cooling mode, the controller operates the cooling device for a predetermined time to discharge the cool air through the cool air discharge port.

According to the refrigerator container and the refrigerator of the present invention as described above, the following effects can be obtained.

A cool air inlet through which cool air discharged from the cool air discharge port of the refrigerator enters is formed in the container detachable from the refrigerator, so that only the inside of the container can be partially and rapidly cooled, the rapid cooling efficiency can be improved and the rapid cooling capacity can be changed The user convenience is improved, and a cover for covering the inlet port is provided to further improve the rapid cooling efficiency.

When the rapid cooling is not used, the refrigerator can be separated from the refrigerator, thereby improving the efficiency of using the refrigerator space. Further, since no separate fastening member is required, it can be applied to any refrigerator and can be shared.

The cold air inlet port is disposed at an upper rear portion of the container body so that cool air can be effectively introduced into the container.

The lid is rotatably connected to the container body at one side thereof, and the lid is disposed at the side of the container body, so that the user can easily take out the food from the coldest portion of the container.

The container body may be formed of a metal material to further improve heat transfer efficiency.

The controller may operate the cooling device for a predetermined period of time to discharge the cool air through the cool air discharge port in the case of the rapid cooling mode so that rapid cooling can be more effective.

2 is a perspective view of a container for a refrigerator and a storage room of a refrigerator according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

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

For reference, the same components as those of the conventional art will be described with reference to the above-described prior art, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

1 and 2, the refrigerator of the present embodiment includes a storage chamber 200 having a cool air discharge port 210 through which cool air is discharged, and a discharge port 210 disposed inside the storage chamber 200, A container 100 removable from the storage chamber 200 and having a lid 142 covering the inlet port 141 and a cool air discharge port 210 for controlling the cool air discharged from the cool air discharge port 210 And the cool air inlet 151 communicates with the cool air discharge port 210 so that the cool air discharged to the cool air discharge port 210 flows into the cool air inlet 151. [

The storage room 200 is provided with a plurality of cold air discharge openings 210 through which cool air is discharged to the rear side.

A shelf 220 is installed in the storage room 200.

The container 100 is disposed inside the storage chamber 200 detachably from the storage chamber 200.

The container 100 includes a container body having a filling port 141 and a cool air inlet port 151 and a cover 142 covering the filling port 141.

The container body includes a top surface 110, a bottom surface 130, a side surface 140, a front surface 120, and a rear surface 150, and is formed into a cubic or rectangular parallelepiped shape.

The container body is formed so that the remaining portions except for the inlet port 141 and the cold air inlet port 151 are closed.

The cold air inlet 151 is formed on the upper side of the rear surface 150 so as to be horizontally elongated, and is disposed at the upper rear portion of the container body.

An elastic member or a heat insulating member such as rubber is provided around the cool air inlet 151 on the outer side of the rear face 150 so that the cool air discharge port 210 and the cool air inlet port 151 can be opened or closed when the container 100 is placed inside the storage chamber 200. [ It is possible to prevent a gap from being generated.

The inlet 141 is formed on one side surface 140 and serves as a passage through which food or food can be put into or removed from the container 100. The injection port 141 is formed to correspond to the shape of the side surface 140.

The cover 142 is rotatably connected to one side (upper portion) of the side surface 140, and is disposed on the side of the container body. The lid 142 prevents the cool air from flowing out during rapid freezing and prevents foreign matter from flowing into the container 100.

Each edge of the lid 142 is rounded.

When the container 100 is placed inside the storage compartment 200 so that the cold air inlet 151 and the lid 142 are disposed and the cold air inlet 151 communicates with the cold air outlet 210, And can be supported by the inner wall of the storage chamber 200, so that the lid 142 can be prevented from flowing. This prevents the cool air for rapid cooling inside the container 100 from flowing out.

The controller controls the cool air discharged to the cool air discharge opening 210.

The display unit of the refrigerator is provided with a rapid cooling button (not shown) so that the user can input the rapid cooling mode.

The control unit forcibly operates the cooling device (not shown) for generating a cool air when the user presses the rapid cooling button for a predetermined time (for example, two hours or three hours) Thereby discharging more cold air.

Such a display unit and a cooling device are technologies widely used in existing refrigerators, and thus, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Hereinafter, the operation of the present embodiment having the above-described configuration will be described.

A food such as a can drink requiring rapid cooling through an inlet 141 is placed inside the container 100. [ The container 100 is placed on the shelf 220 installed in the storage room 200.

The container 100 is brought into close contact with the rear of the storage compartment 200 so that the cold air discharged to the cold air discharge port 210 directly flows into the cold air inlet 151 when the container 100 is placed inside the storage compartment 200.

As a result, the cold air inlet 151 communicates with the cold air outlet 210.

In this way, cool air can be introduced into the container 100 and rapidly cooled.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the following claims .
