Description
본 고안은 냉장고의 야채상자에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 야채를 신선하게 보관할 수 있도록 냉기가 유통되는 통기부에 습도조절부재가 마련된 냉장고의 야채상자에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a vegetable box of the refrigerator, and more particularly to a vegetable box of the refrigerator provided with a humidity control member in the ventilation section through which cold air is distributed to keep the vegetables fresh.
일반적으로 냉장고는 본체의 내부가 냉동실과 냉장실로 구획되게 형성되고, 냉장실의 하방에는 과일이나 채소등을 신선한 상태로 보관 할 수 있도록 냉동실의 내부와 구획되는 야채 저장공간이 마련된다. 또한, 이 야채 저장공간에는 야채가 담기는 야채상자가 구비되며, 야채상자는 수납과 인출이 가능하게 설치된다.In general, the refrigerator is formed so that the inside of the main body is divided into a freezer compartment and a refrigerating compartment, and below the refrigerating compartment is provided with a vegetable storage space partitioned from the inside of the freezer compartment to keep fruits or vegetables fresh. In addition, the vegetable storage space is provided with a vegetable box containing the vegetables, the vegetable box is installed to be stored and withdrawn.
그런데, 상기 야채상자의 내부에 저장되는 야채는 상자 내부의 온도와 습도가 적절하게 유지되어야만 장기간 신선도를 유지할 수 있기 때문에, 종래 냉장고의 야채상자는 내부의 온도 및 습도를 조절할 수 있는 장치가 여러 가지 제안되어 있다. 그 일 예로 야채실의 냉기 유입량을 조절하여 습도를 조절하는 장치가 일본 공개특허공보 평 2-75867호에 개시되어 있다.By the way, since the vegetables stored in the inside of the vegetable box can maintain the freshness for a long time only when the temperature and humidity inside the box is properly maintained, the conventional vegetable box of the refrigerator has a number of devices that can control the temperature and humidity inside It is proposed. As an example, an apparatus for controlling humidity by adjusting a cold air inflow rate of a vegetable chamber is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-75867.
일본 공개특허공보 평 2-75867에 개시된 냉장고는 도 1과 도 2에 도시된 바와 같이, 야채상자(5)의 전면측에 유입된 냉기가 야채상자(5)의 외측으로 배출되는 것을 제어하는 셔터부(6)가 습동 가능하도록 설치되고, 야채상자(5)에는 냉기송입공(5a)이 형성되며, 셔터부(6)에는 냉기송입공(5a)에 대응하는 냉기조절공(6a)이 형성되어 있다.As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the refrigerator disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 2-75867 has a shutter that controls cold air introduced into the front side of the vegetable box 5 to be discharged to the outside of the vegetable box 5. The unit 6 is installed to be slideable, the cold air feeding hole 5a is formed in the vegetable box 5, and the cold air adjusting hole 6a corresponding to the cold air feeding hole 5a is formed in the shutter unit 6. It is.
따라서, 이 야채상자(5)는 셔터부(6)를 좌우로 미끄럼운동시켜 냉기송입공(5a)과 냉기조절공(6a)을 일치시키거나 또는 불일치 시킴으로써 냉기 유통로의 크기를 조절하여 야채실 내의 습도를 조절하였다.Accordingly, the vegetable box 5 slides the shutter unit 6 to the left and right to adjust the size of the cold air flow path by matching or disagreeing the cold air feeding hole 5a and the cold air adjusting hole 6a. Humidity was adjusted.
그러나, 이러한 종래의 냉장고는 냉기송입공(5a)이 형성된 야채상자(5)에 냉기조절공(6a)이 형성된 셔터부(6)를 미끄럼운동 가능하도록 설치하여야 하기 때문에 그 구성 및 형상이 복잡하여 제작이 어려운 문제가 있었다. 또한, 야채상자(5) 내부의 습도조절을 위해서는 사용자가 셔터부(6)를 밀어서 조절해야 하기 때문에 습도조절이 번거로울 뿐만 아니라, 냉장실 내부조건의 변화에 따라 늘 변하게되는 야채상자 내부의 습도를 최적의 조건으로 유지하기 어려운 문제가 있었다.However, such a conventional refrigerator has a complicated configuration and shape since the shutter unit 6 having the cold air adjusting hole 6a is formed in the vegetable box 5 in which the cold air inlet 5a is formed to be slidable. There was a difficult problem making. In addition, in order to adjust the humidity inside the vegetable box 5, the user must adjust the shutter by pushing the shutter unit 6, which is not only cumbersome to control the humidity, but also optimally adjusts the humidity inside the vegetable box that is constantly changing according to changes in the internal conditions of the refrigerator compartment. There was a problem that was difficult to keep up with.
본 고안은 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위한 것으로, 본 고안의 목적은 야채상자의 일측에 형성된 통기부에 습도조절부재를 마련하여, 내부의 습도가 높을 경우 흡습작용을 하여 야채상자 내부의 결로를 방지하고, 내부의 습도가 낮을 경우 발습작용을 하여 최적의 습도상태를 유지시킴으로써 야채를 장기간 보존할 수 있는 냉장고의 야채상자를 제공하는 것이다.The present invention is to solve such a problem, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a humidity control member in the vent formed on one side of the vegetable box, to prevent moisture condensation inside the vegetable box when the humidity inside is high And, when the internal humidity is low, it is to provide a vegetable box of the refrigerator that can preserve the vegetables for a long time by maintaining the optimal humidity state by the action of moisture.

The intermediate wall 14 is provided with a return duct 20 such that the cold air passing through the freezing chamber 12 and the refrigerating chamber 13 is returned to the evaporator 17. And the lower part of the main body 10 is provided with a compressor 21 and a condenser (not shown), which are components of other refrigeration cycle.
또한, 상기 냉동실(12)과 냉장실(13)에는 이들 내부에 저장되는 저장물의 보관이 용이하도록 다수의 층으로 구성된 선반(30)이 마련되고, 냉장실(13)의 내측 하부에는 청과물이나 야채 등을 보관할 수 있도록 야채 저장공간이 형성된다. 그리고, 이 야채 저장공간에는 야채가 담기는 야채상자(30)가 설치된다.In addition, the freezer compartment 12 and the refrigerating compartment 13 are provided with a shelf 30 composed of a plurality of layers to facilitate storage of stored matter therein, and fruits and vegetables, etc., are provided at an inner lower portion of the refrigerating compartment 13. Vegetable storage is formed for storage. In this vegetable storage space, a vegetable box 30 containing vegetables is installed.
상기 야채상자(30)는 도 4에 도시된 바와 같이, 상방이 개방된 용기로 구성되며, 개방된 상부에는 야채상자(30) 내부가 적정한 습도를 유지할 수 있도록 상면을 덮는 덮개(40)가 마련된다. 그리고, 이 덮개(40)와 야채상자(30)의 후단부에는 야채상자(30) 내부로 냉기가 유통될 수 있도록 통기부(31,41)가 마련되고, 이 통기부(31,41)의 내측에는 야채상자(30)의 습도가 스스로 조절되어 최적의 보관 상태를 유지할 수 있도록 습도조절부재(50)가 설치된다.As shown in FIG. 4, the vegetable box 30 is configured as a container having an open upper side, and a cover 40 covering an upper surface of the vegetable box 30 to maintain an appropriate humidity is provided in the open upper part. do. In addition, vents 31 and 41 are provided at the rear ends of the lid 40 and the vegetable box 30 to allow cold air to flow into the vegetable box 30. Humidity of the vegetable box 30 is adjusted to the inside of the humidity control member 50 is installed to maintain the optimal storage state.
이 습도조절부재(50)는 셀룰로오스계의 다공질폼으로 마련되어 덮개(40) 및 야채상자(30)의 후단부에 형성된 통기부(31,41)에 끼워지게 되는데, 셀룰로오스계 다공질폼은 흡습 또는 발습작용을 하여 야채상자(30) 내부의 습도를 최적의 상태로 만들어 주게 된다.The humidity control member 50 is formed of a cellulose-based porous foam is fitted to the vents 31 and 41 formed at the rear end of the lid 40 and the vegetable box 30, the cellulose-based porous foam is absorbed or absorbed Humidity is to make the optimum humidity inside the vegetable box (30).
이때 통기부(41)는 도 5에 도시된 바와 같이, 습도조절부재(50)가 끼워질 수 있도록 공간(44)이 형성되는데, 습도조절부재(50)의 하부를 지지하는 하부판(43)과, 상부를 지지해주는 상부판(42)이 구비되며, 이 두판 사이에 공간(44)이 형성되어 습도조절부재(50)가 끼워지게 된다. 그리고, 상기 상부판(42)과 하부판(43)에는야채상자(30) 내부로 냉기의 순환이 원활하게 이루어질 수 있도록 다수의 기공(45)이 형성된다.At this time, the vent 41 is a space 44 is formed so that the humidity control member 50 is fitted, as shown in Figure 5, the lower plate 43 for supporting the lower portion of the humidity control member 50 and The upper plate 42 supporting the upper portion is provided, and a space 44 is formed between the two plates so that the humidity control member 50 is fitted. In addition, a plurality of pores 45 are formed in the upper plate 42 and the lower plate 43 to smoothly circulate cold air into the vegetable box 30.
또한, 습도조절부재(50)를 형성하는 셀룰로오스계 다공질폼은 스폰지 형태의 많은 셀로 이루어지기 때문에, 수분자를 만나면 분자사이의 간극이 넓어지고, 수분자의 확산이 용이하게 되어, 흡습을 하면서 2배정도 팽창을 하는 성질이 있고, 주위의 습도가 낮아지면 다시 발습을 하게 되면서 부피가 줄어드는 현상이 일어난다. 따라서 상기 통기부(31,41)의 상부판(42)과 하부판(43) 사이의 공간부(44)는 습도조절부재(50)의 부피보다 크게 형성되는 것이 바람직하다.In addition, since the cellulose-based porous foam forming the humidity control member 50 is composed of many cells in the form of sponges, when the water molecules meet, the gap between the molecules becomes wider, and the water molecules are easily diffused, and the moisture is expanded by about 2 times. It has the property to, and when the surrounding humidity is lowered, the re-evaporation occurs a phenomenon that the volume is reduced. Therefore, the space 44 between the upper plate 42 and the lower plate 43 of the vents 31 and 41 is preferably formed larger than the volume of the humidity control member 50.
또한, 상기 습도조절부재(50)를 지지해주는 상부판(42)은 사용자가 습도조절부재(50)를 주기적으로 교환해 줄 수 있도록 일측이 덮개(40) 또는 야채상자(30)의 일단부에 힌지 결합되어 개폐 가능하게 마련된다.In addition, the upper plate 42 for supporting the humidity control member 50 is one side of the cover 40 or one end of the vegetable box 30 so that the user can periodically replace the humidity control member (50) The hinge is provided to be opened and closed.
다음은 이와 같이 구성된 본 고안에 따른 냉장고의 동작을 설명한다.Next will be described the operation of the refrigerator according to the present invention configured as described above.
냉장고가 가동되어 냉장실(13) 내부에 냉기의 순환이 이루어지게 되면, 이 냉기는 냉장실(13) 하부의 야채상자(30) 쪽으로 전달되어 야채상자(30)의 내부가 저온상태를 유지하게 된다. 그리고, 야채상자(30)에 형성된 통기부(31,41)로는 야채상자(30) 내부의 공기가 빠져 나오기도 하고, 냉장실(13) 내부의 공기가 유입되기도 한다.When the refrigerator is operated to circulate cold air in the refrigerating chamber 13, the cold air is transferred to the vegetable box 30 below the refrigerating chamber 13 to maintain the inside of the vegetable box 30 at a low temperature. In addition, the air inside the vegetable box 30 may come out of the vents 31 and 41 formed in the vegetable box 30, or the air inside the refrigerating chamber 13 may flow.
이때, 본 고안에 따른 야채상자(30)의 통기부(31,41)에는 다공질의 습도조절부재(50)가 설치되어 있기 때문에, 야채상자(30) 내부가 적절한 습도와 온도로 유지되게 된다.At this time, since the porous humidity control members 50 are installed in the vent sections 31 and 41 of the vegetable box 30 according to the present invention, the inside of the vegetable box 30 is maintained at an appropriate humidity and temperature.
즉, 야채상자(30) 내부에 다량의 야채가 보관될 경우, 야채의 호흡량이 많아지면서 야채상자 내부는 과습한 상태가 되게 되는데, 이때에는 습도조절부재(50)가 흡습작용을 하게 되어 내부가 적정습도로 유지될 뿐만 아니라 결로가 방지되게 된다.That is, when a large amount of vegetables are stored in the vegetable box 30, the respiratory volume of the vegetable is increased and the inside of the vegetable box is in a humid state, in which the humidity control member 50 is hygroscopic action inside Not only is it maintained at an appropriate humidity, but condensation is prevented.
또한, 야채상자(30) 내부에 소량의 야채가 보관되어 야채상자 내부습도가 적정습도보다 낮을 경우에는 상기 습도조절부재(50)에 함유된 습분이 발습을 하게 되어 야채상자(30) 내부습도가 적절히 유지되게 된다. 즉, 습도조절부재(50)는 야채상자의 내부 조건의 변화에 따라 흡습과 발습을 반복하면서 야채가 보존되기 적합한 최적의 상태를 유지하게 된다.In addition, when a small amount of vegetables are stored in the vegetable box 30 and the internal humidity of the vegetable box is lower than the appropriate humidity, the moisture contained in the humidity control member 50 will develop and the internal humidity of the vegetable box 30 will be developed. It will be maintained properly. That is, the humidity control member 50 is to maintain the optimum state suitable for preserving the vegetables while repeating the moisture absorption and moisture respiration according to the change of the internal conditions of the vegetable box.
이상에서 상세히 설명한 바와 같이, 본 고안에 따른 냉장고의 야채상자는 덮개와 후면 일측에 통기부가 마련되고, 이 통기부에는 흡습과 발습이 저절로 조절되는 셀룰로오스계 다공질폼으로 구성된 습도조절부재가 설치되었다. 따라서 야채의 온도에 의한 호흡량의 변화와 수납량에 따라 적절한 습도가 조절되고, 야채상자 내부에 결로가 방지되며, 야채상자 내부가 늘 고습도를 유지하게 되므로 야채를 신선하게 장기간 보존할 수 있는 이점이 있다.As described in detail above, the vegetable box of the refrigerator according to the present invention is provided with a ventilation portion on one side of the cover and the rear side, the ventilation portion is provided with a humidity control member consisting of a cellulose-based porous foam that the moisture absorption and moisture absorption is adjusted on its own. Therefore, proper humidity is controlled according to the change in the amount of respiration and the storage amount due to the temperature of the vegetable, condensation is prevented inside the vegetable box, and the inside of the vegetable box always maintains high humidity, so there is an advantage that fresh vegetables can be stored for a long time. .
