Abstract

The purpose of the prevent invention is to provide an ice box comprising: a storage box having a containing space provided therein such that content can be stored, the storage box having a bottom configured in a lattice structure such that cold air and moisture can pass through the same; a cover capable of exposing/covering the upper portion of the storage box; and a lower box positioned on the lower portion of the storage box, the upper portion of the lower box being open, and the lower box having a containing space formed therein such that a cooling material can be stored, wherein the storage box and the lower box are coupled to each other by fastening portions formed on upper and lower ends of respective side walls thereof. The present invention is advantageous in that the ice box comprises a storage box for containing content and a lower box for containing a refrigerant substance, which are separate from each other; the storage box has a bottom configured in a lattice structure such that cold air and moisture can pass through the same; and, when a large amount of water is accumulated, only the lower box can be separated to remove the water, thereby providing a substantial advantage of not having to remove all the stored items in order to quickly dispose of water as in the case of a conventional ice box.

Description

Ice box

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an ice box for keeping contents such as beverages and fruits cool, and more particularly to an ice box for storing contents such as ice and ice packs, The present invention relates to an ice box in which water can be easily separated, cold air can be easily transmitted, and a separate storage space can be secured according to contents.

Generally, ice boxes have been used for outdoor activities such as traveling or fishing, to prevent the decay of contents such as beverages and foods and keep them fresh.

Such an ice box is mainly made of a heat insulating material such as polystyrene foam. The upper part is opened and closed by a cover, and the contents such as beverages and foods are stored together with a cold medium such as ice or ice pack in the inner space.

However, when the internal space of the ice box is lengthened for a predetermined period of time, the ice, which is a refrigerant, melts and becomes a water-state water, which causes a problem of mixing with the contents in the box. In this state, To the outside and turn the box upside down to remove the water.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an ice box having a space for separating moisture is limited in a registration document of Korean Patent Registration No. 10-14557000. According to this technology, an ice box is provided with a heat insulating box, which is made of a heat insulating material which is opened and closed by a lid made of a heat insulating material, and which houses a storage and a coolant in an inner space of a housing, Wherein the inner space of the housing includes a storage space in which the storage material and the coolant are disposed, and a moisture separation space in which the coolant is melted and the generated moisture flows down; Wherein the storage space and the moisture separation space are vertically adjacent to each other by a water permeable structure disposed at a predetermined position in an inner space of the housing; Wherein the water-permeable structure has a porous water-permeable interface as an interface between the storage space and the moisture separation space, wherein the water-permeable interface separates the storage material disposed in the storage space and the solid- It is configured to prevent movement to the space while allowing only water to pass through. However, this conventional technique also solves the problem of separating the contents and the coolant from each other. However, when a large amount of water in the box is heated, it takes a long time to discharge the water through the outlet, The space in which food can be stored is reduced and the amount of food must be accommodated in a box of at least a certain size.

As described above, the capacity of the storage unit capable of storing food is limited, and there arises a problem of being accommodated in the same internal space regardless of the type of contents. In this case, there is a problem that inconvenience is required, which requires a separate cooling medium from other storage means.

In order to solve the limitation of the capacity of the storage part capable of storing the food, it is conventionally possible to selectively store the storage space of the ice box in the registration document of the Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1011106, Thereby providing an ice box that provides convenience in use. According to this technology, an ice box main body having a floor and side walls filled with a heat insulating material and having a storage part opened on one side and storing foods; A cover which selectively opens and closes the opened one face of the ice box body and has a receiving part; and a volume interposed between the ice box body and the cover, the volume being slidably coupled to the storing part to vary the volume of the storing part And a variable portion. However, this prior art also fails to separate and accommodate the contents and the cooling medium, thereby causing a problem of mixing with the contents in the box.

In order to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator having a storage box for storing contents, and a lower box for storing the refrigerant and discharging moisture easily, And an object of the present invention is to provide an ice box in which cold air and moisture can pass.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a storage box having a storage space capable of storing contents and having a bottom in a lattice structure and capable of passing cool air and moisture, Wow; A lower box located at a lower portion of the storage box and having an upper opening and a storage space for storing the cooling material; And the storage box and the lower box are coupled to each other by a binding portion formed at a lower end of each side wall.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the storage box is formed with a step at the lower end thereof and the upper end of the lower box is not separated from the lower box by the protrusion.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the storage box is characterized in that two or more storage boxes are stacked.

According to the present invention as described above, the ice box is divided into a storage box for storing contents and a lower box for storing a cold medium, and the bottom of the storage box has a lattice structure so that cool air and moisture can pass through each other, When a large amount of water is used, only the lower box can be separated and the water can be emptied. Therefore, it is not necessary to take out all of the contents stored in order to quickly throw away water like the conventional ice box.

In addition, the storage box can be replaced by a size suitable for the size of the contents, and the cold storage medium can be housed in the lower box, and the beverage storage box and the food storage box can be stacked It is a useful invention.
