Definitions
- the present invention relates to a vegetable room for a refrigerator and, more particularly, to a vegetable room for a refrigerator that is capable of keeping storage stuff fresh for a long period regardless of environmental conditions outside a refrigerator
- a refrigerator in general, includes a freezing chamber for preserving freezing food items, a refrigerating chamber for keeping refrigerating food items, and a refrigerating cycle for supplying cooling air to the freezing chamber and the refrigerating chamber.
- a vegetable room is provided at a lower side of the refrigerating chamber to generally keep fruits, vegetables or functional storage items.
- Figure 1 is a vertical-sectional view showing one example of a refrigerator in accordance with a conventional art.
- the conventional refrigerator includes: a main body 100 having a receptacle space therein, a freezing chamber 103 disposed at an upper portion of the main body 100 and keeping freezing items, a refrigerating chamber 109 disposed at a lower portion of the main body 100 by being partitioned from the freezing chamber 103 by a wall 105 and having a plurality of shelves 107 for receiving refrigerating food items, a freezing chamber door 111 and a refrigerating chamber door 112 respectively mounted to be opened and closed forwardly of the freezing chamber 103 and the refrigerating chamber 109; a cooing air supply unit installed at a rear side of the refrigerating chamber 103 and supplying air cooled while passing a refrigerating cycle to the freezing chamber 103 and the refrigerating chamber 109; and a vegetable room provided at a lower side of the refrigerating chamber 109 and keeping fruits, vegetables or functional storage items.
- the refrigerating cycle includes a compressor 104 for changing a low temperature and low pressure gaseous refrigerant to a high temperature and high pressure gaseous refrigerant; a condenser (not shown) for condensing the gaseous refrigerant which has been compressed in the compressor 104 to a liquid state and externally discharging heat; an expander (not shown) formed as a capillary tube for changing the refrigerant in the liquid state as changed in the condenser to a low temperature and low pressure saturated liquid state; and an evaporator 106 for evaporating the refrigerant in the saturated liquid state as changed in the expander in the low temperature gas state to absorb external heat.
- the cooling air supply unit includes a blow fan 115 mounted at a surface of a rear wall of the freezing chamber 103 and forcibly ventilating air cooled -- while passing the evaporator 106; a panel 114 disposed at a front side of the blow fan 115 and having a plurality of cooling air discharge holes 112 for supplying cooling air into the freezing chamber 103; a cooling air supply passage 117 formed penetrating the wall 105 to introduce the cooling air ventilated from the blow fan 115 to the refrigerating chamber 109; a cooling air discharge duct 118 mounted at a rear side of the refrigerating chamber 109 and communicating with the cooling air supply passage 117 to guide the cooling air supplied to the cooling air supply passage 117 into the refrigerating chamber 109; and a cooling air inlet passage 116 formed penetrating the wall 105 to allow the cooling operation-completed air after having been circulated in the refrigerating chamber 109 to be re-introduced into the evaporator 106 and cooled.
- the refrigerant discharge duct 118 includes a plurality of cooling air discharge holes 119 through which cooling air is discharged into the refrigerating chamber 109.
- the vegetable room is configured by the lowermost shelf of the plurality of shelves 107 and a vegetable box 108 disposed at the lower side of the lowermost shelf and opened upwardly with a receptacle space with a certain volume therein.
- the cooling air supplied to the cooling air supply passage 117 is introduced into the cooling air discharge duct 118 and then discharged into the refrigerating chamber 109 through the cooling air discharge hole 119 formed at the cooling air discharge duct 118.
- the cooling air which has been discharged into the refrigerating chamber 109, performs a cooling operation on the refrigerating food items received in the shelves 107 of the refrigerating chamber 109 and in the vegetable box 108 while circulating in the refrigerating chamber 109.
- the cooling air takes the moisture from the refrigerating food items, containing more moisture, and as the cooling air is re-introduced into the refrigerating cycle through the cooling air inlet passage 116 formed at the wall 105, it is cooled again.
- the moisture moved along with the cooling air is congealed at the surface of the evaporator 106, is defrost in a frost-removing operation for the evaporator 106 and discharged outwardly. Therefore, in a state that the refrigerating chamber door 113 is closed, the humidity inside the refrigerating chamber 109 is gradually lowered down due to the circulation of cooling air.
- the conventional refrigerator has the following problems. That is, first, since the vegetable box 108 is opened upwardly, cooling air supplied into the refrigerating chamber 109 is introduced into the space between the vegetable box 108 and the shelf 107 to directly contact with the food items in the vegetable box 108. Accordingly, for food items requiring a suitable moisture in the vegetable box 108, because their moisture would be taken away by the cooling air, freshness of the food items is degraded and storage duration is shortened.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a vegetable room for a refrigerator in which a cooling air discharge hole of a cooling air discharge duct provided at a rear side is positioned to face a vegetable box and a nozzle is provided at a front side of the cooling air discharge hole to increase a cooling air discharge speed, so that cooling air can be smoothly circulated around the vegetable box to quickly perform a cooling operation on food items stored in the vegetable box and cooling air can be smoothly introduced into the vegetable box to preserve food items stored in the vegetable box fresh for a long period when a cooling air ventilating hole remains open.
- a vegetable room for a refrigerator including: a vegetable box disposed inside a refrigerator in which a cooling air supply unit is provided to circulate cooling air therein and a plurality of shelves are provided, and having a receptacle space for receiving food items therein opened upwardly; a box cover for covering an opening side of the vegetable box to close the receptacle space of the vegetable box and having a plurality of cooling air ventilating holes formed at one side thereof to introduce cooling air into the vegetable box; a cover support unit interposed between the box cover and the shelf to support the box cover at the shelf; a plurality of opening and closing members for opening and closing the cooling air ventilating holes of the box cover; and an operating unit for operating the opening and closing members simultaneously.

- the first and second cooling air ventilating holes 31 and 32 must be closed to prevent the food item from being dehumidified by cooling air.
- the first and second cooling air ventilating holes 31 and 32 are closed as follows. That is, when the knob 13 installed at the shelf 10 is slid in a closing direction (that is, in the left direction in Figure 10 or 11), the first opening and closing member 33 is rotated centering around the support shaft 38 due to its self weight, closing the first cooling air ventilating hole 31 of the box cover 30. At the same time, like the first opening and closing member, the second opening and closing member 43 is rotated centering around the support shaft 48 by its self-weight, closing the second cooling air ventilating hole 41.
- cooling air is smoothly circulated around the vegetable box 20 to perform a rapid cooling operation on food items kept in the vegetable box 20.
- the receptacle space of the vegetable box 20 is closed and introduction of cooling air to moisture-containing food items which need to maintain the moisture as it is, such as vegetables and fruits, is cut off. In this manner dehydration is prevented.
- the vegetable room for a refrigerator in accordance with the present invention has many advantages.
- the box cover is provided to cover the opening side of the vegetable box and the cooing air ventilating hole is formed at the box cover and closed when vegetables or fruits are preserved. Accordingly, preserved in the hermetic state, those moisture-maintaining desired food items will not be in contact with cooling air, so that dehydration of them can be prevented.
- the cooling air ventilating hole is opened to let cooling air to be in contact with the dry-kept food items in the vegetable box and continuously move moisture generated from the food items by means of cooling air, thereby maintaining the food items in the dry state. In this manner, the storage condition of food items preserved in the vegetable box can be optimized.
- the plurality of cooling air ventilating holes are formed at the box cover and high speed cooling air is directly supplied between the box cover and the shelf through the cooling air discharge hole of the cooling air discharge duct and the nozzle.
- cooling air can be smoothly introduced into the vegetable box.
- the cooling air ventilating hole can be simply opened and closed without detaching the box cover in introducing cooling air into the vegetable box or cut off cooling air with the vegetable box.
