Further, by forming the inner material of the container for storing sterilized water into silicon, And a sterilizing water cartridge for sterilizing the sterilizing water.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a refrigerator comprising a sterilizing water cartridge which is supplied to a water purifier or an ice-maker provided in the opening and closing door to supply sterilizing water or sterilizing ice.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a refrigerator having an internal space for storing food, comprising: a sterilizing water generating unit installed in the refrigerator and discharging raw water supplied from the outside to generate sterilized water; A sterilizing water collector for collecting sterilizing water discharged from the sterilizing water generator; And a sterilizing water cartridge including a plurality of sterilizing water sprayers sprayed in the form of mist in an inner space of the refrigerator, the sterilizing water collected in the sterilizing water collecting part being installed in an inner space of the refrigerator.
Preferably, the sterilizing water producing unit includes an electrolytic cell which receives raw water from outside and stores the electrolytic water in a hermetically sealed state, and an electrode module which is fixed inside the electrolytic bath and electrolyzes the raw water stored in the electrolytic bath to generate hydrogen water Do.
The refrigerator includes a water purifier or an ice maker for discharging purified water to the outside or discharging ice to the outside, a first supply pipe for supplying sterilized water collected in the sterilized water collecting part to the sterilizing water sprayer, And a second supply pipe for supplying sterilized water collected in the collecting unit to the water purifier or the ice maker.
The sterilizing water generating unit may be provided on the front surface of the refrigerator, and the front surface may have a transparent window for observing the sterilizing water generated by underwater discharge in the sterilizing water generating unit from the outside.
In addition, the present invention may further include a water supply device installed in the refrigerator and generating water by discharging underwater water supplied from the outside, and supplying the generated water to the sterilizing water collector .
In addition, it is preferable that the inside of the sterilizing water collecting part is coated with a silicone material.
Further, it is more preferable that the hydrogen-containing water supply device or the sterilizing water collecting section includes a pressurizing means capable of pressurizing hydrogen.
In addition, the present invention may further include a control unit for sensing the amount of dissolved hydrogen contained in the sterilization water collecting unit and operating the water supply unit according to the detection result.
According to the present invention, the following effects can be achieved by this configuration.
In the refrigerator including the sterilizing water cartridge according to the present invention, sterilized water can be generated through a plurality of cartridges installed in the refrigerator, and the generated sterilized water is sprayed into the refrigerator unit in the form of mist, Thereby providing a pleasant and hygienic environment, and also being capable of storing foods and foodstuffs being stored for a long period of time.
In addition, the present invention can further increase the amount of dissolved hydrogen by injecting hydrogen into the container by additionally providing a hydrogen supply device at one side of the container for storing sterilized water generated through the cartridge, In addition to being able to remove active oxygen in the body by drinking water through a water purifier or ice maker, it has the effect of reducing already oxidized cells and contributes to the health promotion of users who take it because the blood circulation is good and the toxin is discharged. Can be achieved.
