图1是包含食用肉熟化模块10的冰箱11的侧视截面图。该图中，用虚线箭头表示冷藏室22及冷却室30中的空气流动，用一点连线表示食用肉熟化模块10内部的空气流动。相关事项在附图2中也是一样的。
首先，说明冰箱11的构成。冰箱11主要包括隔热箱体18、冷藏室22、从前方关闭冷藏室22的隔热门24、以及用于冷却冷藏室22的制冷循环系统12，所述冷藏室是隔热箱体18内部形成的储藏室。
隔热箱体18包括外壳19、内胆20、及隔热材料21，由此形成冰箱11的外廓。外壳19由大体箱状的钢板形成。内胆20间隔设置在所述外壳19的内侧，由大体箱状的合成树脂板形成，并且正面开口。隔热材料21由发泡聚氨酯等形成，发泡填充在内胆20与外壳19之间。冷藏室22形成在内胆20内部。
隔热门24用于关闭隔热箱体18的前表面开口，可相对于隔热箱体18旋转。隔热门24具有与隔热箱体18类似的隔热结构。
制冷循环系统12包括后述压缩机17、未图示的冷凝器、未图示的膨胀装置及蒸发器31。在冷却室30内部，空气被蒸发器31冷却并干燥，然后送入冷藏室22。冷藏室22的箱内温度例如设为2℃～5℃，食用肉熟化模块10的箱内温度也相同。
在冷藏室22后方，形成有用隔板29隔开的冷却室30。上述蒸发器31配置在冷却室30内部。隔板29上形成有送风口32及回风口33，所述送风口32用于向冷藏室22吹送被蒸发器31冷却的空气，所述回风口33用于使完成冷藏室22冷却的空气返回到冷却室30。
在送风口32附近，安装有冷藏室送风机28。冷藏室送风机28是离心风扇或轴流风扇，将冷却室30内被蒸发器31冷却的空气吹向冷藏室22侧。
冷藏室22被分隔架23分隔开，并在分隔架23上方安装食用肉熟化模块10。本实施方 式中，食用肉熟化模块10构成冰箱11的功能之一，但食用肉熟化模块10也可以单独构成一个装置。
上述冰箱11首先运行制冷循环系统12，通过蒸发器31将冷却室30内的空气冷却。冷藏室送风机28将冷却室30内被蒸发器31冷却的空气经送风口32吹向冷藏室22。完成冷藏室22内部冷却的空气经回风口33返回到冷却室30。以此方式，冷藏室22内部被冷却至既定的冷藏温度范围。制冷循环系统12间歇地运行，确保冷藏室22的箱内温度处于既定的冷藏温度范围内。此外，制冷循环系统12连续运行后，蒸发器31会出现厚霜，这时要利用未图示的除霜加热器进行除霜处理。
食用肉熟化模块10主要包括壳体13、内部送风机14、风门15、模块门27、载置台34、及排出口26。食用肉熟化模块10通过使肉类35熟化干燥，来提升肉类35的风味及口感。
壳体13由不锈钢等金属板成型为壳体状，并且正面开口。采用导热性优异的金属板作为壳体13的材料时，冷藏室22的冷气与壳体13的内部空间可以通过壳体13进行热交换，从而可以将壳体13内部冷却到适合肉类35熟化的冷藏温度范围。
内部送风机14是安装在壳体13的轴流风扇或离心风扇，具有使空气在壳体13内部循环的功能。在肉类35的熟化期间，内部送风机14基本上持续运行。内部送风机14通过使壳体13内部的空气循环，从而使肉类35表面渗出的肉汁干燥，防止肉类35变质。
风门15是将冷气吸入壳体13的冷气吸入机构，用于调整经蒸发器31冷却并干燥的空气向食用肉熟化模块10内部的流入。在此，通过未图示的控制部16，来控制风门15的打开及关闭。此外，壳体13上还形成有吸入口25，风门15打开时吸入口25也打开，风门15关闭时吸入口25也关闭。
风门15配置在冷藏室送风机28附近。此外，风门15打开后，越靠近冷藏室送风机28则越朝上倾斜。通过设为这种构成，冷藏室送风机28吹出的空气撞击风门15的倾斜面并被引导，从而良好地吸入到壳体13内部。
模块门27用于关闭壳体13的前表面开口，可相对于壳体13旋转。用户打开或关闭模块门27，就能完成肉类35的取放。模块门27上也可以嵌入玻璃等透明板，以便易于从外部看到肉类35的状态。
载置台34是网状台，配置在壳体13的底面。肉类35载置在载置台34的上表面。将肉类35载置在载置台34的上表面时，肉类35的下表面也能接触冷气，并且肉类35下表面的水分向下滴落，从而可防止肉汁停留在下表面引起变质。
排出口26是将壳体13局部开口而形成的部位，用于连通壳体13内部与冷藏室22。通过形成排出口26，从吸入口25吸入并用于将肉类35干燥冷却的空气会从排出口26向冷藏室22侧逸出。由此，可防止肉类35产生的水分停留在壳体13内部。
肉类35是用户希望熟化干燥的各种肉，例如有牛肉、猪肉、鸡肉等。
风门15打开时空气流动方式如下所示。首先，制冷循环系统12运行，冷却室30内的空气被蒸发器31冷却并干燥。冷却干燥后的空气经冷藏室送风机28而从送风口32吹向冷藏室22侧。被冷藏室送风机28吹出的冷气有一部分从风门15及吸入口25进入壳体13内部。此时，利用内部送风机14，使壳体13内部的空气循环。肉类35被导入的空气冷却，表面变得干燥。之后，完成肉类35的冷却及干燥的空气从排出口26移向冷藏室22侧。
图2是表示风门15关闭时食用肉熟化模块10及冰箱11的动作的侧视截面图。在此，风门15处于吸入口25闭合的关闭状态。此外，冷藏室22的箱内温度低于既定温度，因此制冷循环系统12及冷藏室送风机28停止运行。另一方面，食用肉熟化模块10的内部送风机14始终运行，使空气在壳体13内部循环。由此，防止肉类35过度干燥，并且使肉类35表面渗出的水分干燥，防止肉类35变质。
图3是表示食用肉熟化模块10及冰箱11的连接构成的框图。
控制部16是运算控制元件，包括CPU、RAM、ROM等。
控制部16的输入端子上，连接有定时器36及温度传感器37。定时器36用于测量食用肉熟化模块10及冰箱11包含的各种设备的时间，例如制冷循环系统12的压缩机17、冷藏室送风机28、风门15、内部送风机14等的运行时间、停止时间。温度传感器37用于测量上述冷藏室22、壳体13内部的温度。
控制部16的输出端子上，连接有压缩机17、风门15、内部送风机14、冷藏室送风机28。压缩机17用于压缩上述制冷循环系统12中使用的制冷剂。风门15、内部送风机14及冷藏室送风机28的构成及动作如参考图1的说明所示。
控制部16基于从定时器36及温度传感器37输入的输入信息，执行既定运算处理，并基于该运算处理，控制压缩机17、风门15、内部送风机14及冷藏室送风机28的运行动作、开闭动作。
参考图4的时序图，下面说明具有上述构成的食用肉熟化模块10及冰箱11的动作。
控制部16控制风门15与制冷循环系统12的压缩机17同步地进行开闭动作，直到经过定时器36测量的第1设置时间为止。在此，例如将第1设置时间设为24小时。即，控制部16在压缩机17工作期间打开风门15，在压缩机17停止期间关闭风门15。在此，基于控制部16的控制，当压缩机17工作时，图1所示的冷藏室送风机28旋转，当压缩机17停止时，图1所示的冷藏室送风机28也停止。另外，内部送风机14原则上在整个设置时间内连续运行，搅动食用肉熟化模块10内的空气使其循环。
如图1所示，基于控制部16的控制，当压缩机17运行时，风门15打开，利用冷藏室送风机28的送风力，将蒸发器31冷却并干燥的空气经风门15及吸入口25送入壳体13。由此，可靠地干燥肉类35的表面。因干燥肉类35而包含水分的空气经排出口26流向冷藏室22侧，并从回风口33返回到冷却室30。以此方式，可向肉类35吹送经蒸发器31冷却干燥的空气，加快肉类35表面的干燥。
如图2所示，基于控制部16的控制，当压缩机17停止时，风门15关闭，冷藏室送风机28也停止。在此期间，内部送风机14继续运行，使空气在壳体13内部循环。由此，可除去肉类35表面渗出的水分，防止肉类35表面部分变质。
在第1设置时间，食用肉熟化模块10内部的平均湿度例如为70％，这种湿度可以使肉类35适当地熟化。
当定时器36测量的经过时间达到第1设置时间后，控制部16维持风门15关闭状态，直到经过第2设置时间为止。在此，例如将第2设置时间设为23小时。即，控制部16要控制压缩机17的开关，使冷藏室22的箱内温度处于既定的冷藏温度范围内，因此将风门15维持关闭状态。由此，可防止肉类35过度干燥，能够在肉类35内部保持水分的状态下进行熟化。此外，在第2设置时间内，控制部16也让内部送风机14继续运行，使空气在壳体13内部循环，从而除去肉类35表面的水分。在第2设置时间内，风门15是关闭的，因此 食用肉熟化模块10的平均湿度为100％，可防止肉类35过度干燥。
经过定时器36测量的第2设置时间之后，控制部16同步控制风门15与压缩机17的开关，直到经过第3设置时间为止。在此，例如将第3设置时间设为1小时。第3设置时间内，风门15及压缩机17的动作与第1设置时间类似。以此方式，可以向冷藏室22侧释放食用肉熟化模块10内部的水分。由此，可以适当地干燥肉类35的表面。在第3设置时间内，执行风门15的开闭动作，因此食用肉熟化模块10的平均湿度保持在70％。
之后，控制部16重复进行上述第2设置时间与第3设置时间内的动作。具体来说，控制部16在23个小时内保持风门15关闭状态，然后在1个小时内与压缩机17的开关同步地开关风门15。
控制部16例如在20天内重复进行上述第2设置时间及第3设置时间内的控制动作。由此，可以在防止肉类35变质的同时使其内部熟化，从而提升肉类35的风味及口感。
本发明并不限定于上述实施方式，在不脱离本发明主旨的范围内可实施各种变更。此外，也可以将上述各实施方式相互组合。
例如，参考图1，将空气吸入食用肉熟化模块10内部的冷气吸入机构采用的是风门15，但也可以采用风扇作为冷气吸入机构。
