Refrigerator, and electric device
View Patent ↗The refrigerator includes a vegetable compartment ( 107 ) thermally insulated by a rear partition ( 111 ), and a mist generation department ( 139 ) for atomizing a mist into the vegetable compartment ( 107 ), and the mist generation department ( 139 ) includes a atomizing electrode ( 135 ) for atomizing the mist into the vegetable compartment ( 107 ), a voltage applicator ( 133 ) for applying a voltage to the atomizing electrode ( 135 ), and a cooling pin ( 134 ) coupled to the atomizing electrode ( 135 ), in which the atomizing electrode ( 135 ) is cooled to a temperature lower than the dew point by a outlet air-duct for freezer compartment ( 141 ), and the moisture in the air is cooled to condense dew on the atomizing electrode ( 135 ), and is atomized as a mist into the vegetable compartment ( 107 ), and dew can be condensed from moisture onto the atomizing electrode ( 135 ) stably and in a simple configuration, and the freshness of the food is enhanced while the reliability of the refrigerator is enhanced.
1. A refrigerator comprising:
a storage compartment defined to be thermally insulated;
a mist making section that sprays mist in the storage compartment;
a mist-making tip provided to the mist making section to spray mist;
a heat conduction cooling member coupled to the mist-making tip; and
a cooling section for cooling the heat conduction cooling member, wherein the mist-making tip is rigidly mounted and connected to a first end of the heat conduction cooling member, and the cooling section cools the heat conduction cooling member for indirectly cooling the mist-making tip not higher than a dew point, so that the mist-making tip has dew formed thereon from ambient air and creates the mist for spraying solely from the dew formed thereon.
2. The refrigerator of claim 1 , wherein the heat conduction cooling member is cooled by the cooling section via a heat relaxation member.
3. The refrigerator of claim 1 , wherein a refrigerating unit includes multiple storage compartments and a cooling chamber that accommodates a cooler for cooling the storage compartments, and the mist-making section is disposed on a partition of the storage compartments at the cooling chamber side.
4. The refrigerator of claim 1 , wherein the refrigerating unit includes multiple storage compartments and a first storage compartment of the storage compartments is equipped with the mist-making section,
wherein a second storage compartment disposed above the first storage compartment is kept at a temperature lower than that of the first storage compartment, and
wherein the mist-making section is mounted to a partition of the first storage compartment.
5. The refrigerator of claim 4 , wherein the partition on which the mist-making section is disposed has a recess on a side of the first storage compartment, and the heat conduction cooling member is inserted into the recess.
6. The refrigerator of claim 4 , wherein the partition on which the mist-making section is disposed has a through section and the heat conduction cooling member is inserted into the through section.
7. The refrigerator of claim 6 , wherein the cooling section uses cool air produced in the cooling chamber for cooling the heat conduction cooling member.
8. The refrigerator of claim 6 , wherein the cooling section uses heat conduction of an air duct, through which cool air produced by a cooler flows and cools the heat conduction cooling member.
9. The refrigerator of 6 , wherein the cooling section uses heat transmitted from a cooling pipe, which is cooled by using a cooling source produced in a freezing cycle of the refrigerator and cools the heat conduction cooling member.
10. The refrigerator of claim 6 , wherein the heat conduction cooling member includes a protrusion on an opposite side to the mist-making section, and an end of the mist-making section on the protrusion side is disposed closest to the cooling section.
