Wherein the ascending and descending portion comprises a driving motor, a screw rotatable by the power of the driving motor and installed vertically, a nut member fixedly coupled to the housing when the screw is screwed into the screw, So as to guide the guide rail.

The control unit may control the ascending and descending unit to move the storage box upward or downward according to a predetermined user's movement sensed through the motion sensor.

The humidity sensor may further include a humidity sensor for sensing a humidity of the inside and outside of the housing, the height of which can be changed according to the setting information input through the input unit, As a result of comparison between the sensed humidity and the preset humidity, the ascending and descending portion can be controlled such that the storage box is raised or lowered.

According to the present invention, it is possible to lower or raise a storage box in which a storage space capable of receiving a tableware can be accommodated. Accordingly, when the tableware is stored, the storage box can be lowered and used. When the storage is completed, the storage box can be used up, so that the storage of the tableware can be made less difficult and the space utilization can be increased. In addition, the storage box can be automatically lowered or raised according to a preset user's movement or humidity inside or outside the storage box, thereby improving convenience in use.
