Kimchi Refrigerator {REFRIGERATOR FOR KIMCHI}
[15] The present invention relates to a kimchi refrigerator, and more particularly, to a kimchi refrigerator that can display the stored food and the date stored.
[16] Recently, the kimchi refrigerator, which allows users to automatically ripen kimchi to taste according to their tastes by arbitrarily controlling the temperature and maintain such a taste for a long time, has been well received.The kimchi refrigerator has a kimchi culture for winter as well as summer. It is becoming so common that it is changing.
[17] 1 is a partially broken perspective view of a conventional kimchi refrigerator.
[18] The conventional Kimchi refrigerator has an inner case (3) formed of aluminum or the like provided with an outer case (1) and an outer space (1) installed in the outer case (1) to store an object, and the inner case (3) an evaporator (7) installed to enclose, an electric heater (8) installed at the lower part of the evaporator (7), and installed for the ripening of kimchi, a door (4) installed at the top of the kimchi refrigerator, It is configured to include a display unit 6 installed on the front of the kimchi refrigerator.
[19] The inner case 3 and the outer case 1 are filled with foamed urethane 5 for heat insulation.
[20] In the conventional Kimchi refrigerator operation, the door 4 is opened to fill the inner case 3 with an object, and the door 4 is closed. When the kimchi is aged, the electric heater 8 operates, and when it is matured to an appropriate level, the operation of the electric heater 8 is stopped, and the evaporator 7 is operated by the operation of a refrigerating device (not shown). The refrigerant is circulated to directly cool the inner case 3.
[21] The inner case 3 is made of a material having good thermal conductivity, such as aluminum, to effectively cool an enclosure contained in the inner case 3.
[22] However, in order to check what contents are stored by the user, the kimchi refrigerator should be opened and checked. Therefore, since the door 4 must be frequently opened and closed, not only cooling efficiency is lowered, but also there is a problem that it is over-aged due to frequent contact of stored kimchi with air.
[23] In addition, there is a problem in that when there is no separate recording date of the object, there is no method of confirming when the object is received.
[24] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a kimchi refrigerator that can display the type and date of storage.
