Deodorant mounting structure of refrigerator

The present invention relates to a deodorant mounting structure for removing odors caused by food stored in the refrigerator, and more particularly, to improve the slidable structure of the deodorant installed on the return duct inlet so that the deodorant is used before use of the refrigerator. The present invention relates to a deodorant mounting structure of a refrigerator in which a deterrent is improved by improving the actual use time of the deodorant.

In general, a deodorant for removing odors due to food and the like stored in the refrigerator is provided therein. Referring to FIG. 1, a process of removing odors by a deodorant in a conventional refrigerator will be described.

As shown, part of the cold air heat exchanged by the evaporator 2 installed behind the freezer compartment 1 is transferred to the freezer compartment 1 by driving the blower fan 3, and the remaining cool air is lowered in the evaporator 2. After flowing into the refrigerating chamber duct (5), it is discharged into the refrigerating chamber (4) through the cold air discharge hole (5a) formed on the refrigerating chamber duct (5).

The cold air transferred into the freezing compartment 1 performs heat-exchanging with the ambient air inside the freezing compartment 1, and then performs a cooling function, and then through the freezing compartment return duct 7 formed through the barrier 6 at the bottom of the freezing compartment 1. It flows back to the evaporator 2 side. In addition, the cold air introduced into the refrigerating compartment 4 also performs a refrigerating function by exchanging heat with ambient air in the refrigerating compartment 4, and then refrigerating chamber return duct 8 formed through the barrier 6 on the upper surface of the refrigerating compartment 4. Through the return to the evaporator side (2).

After the freezing and refrigerating chamber is circulated as described above, the return cooling air returned to the evaporator side contains the odor generated by the items stored in the freezing and refrigerating compartment, and the deodorant (A) for removing the odor is returned duct (7). , 8) will be mounted on. In FIG. 2, the deodorant A is installed at the inlet of the refrigerating chamber return duct 8, but the deodorant may also be installed at the inlet of the freezer compartment return duct 7.

The deodorant (A) contains a deodorant material therein, the odor particles generated by the items stored in the freezer, refrigerator compartment (1, 4) flows with the cold air circulating in the freezer compartment (1, 4) When the circulating cold air is returned to the evaporator 2 side through each of the return ducts 7 and 8, it is deodorized while passing through the deodorant A. The deodorant in the deodorant (A) is a kind of adsorbent and is usually composed of a porous cell composed of carbon components, and the odor particles are adsorbed and removed by the deodorant by passing the cold air mixed with the odor particles into the deodorant. .

Looking at the mounting structure of the deodorant (A) described above with reference to Figures 2 and 3, as shown, the return duct cover 9 is provided at the inlet (8a) of the refrigerating chamber return duct 8, the feedback duct A plurality of through holes 9a are formed in the central portion of the cover 9, and the guide ribs 9b are enclosed in a quadrangular shape around the through holes 9a.

The deodorant (A) is installed in a rectangle partitioned by the guide rib (9b), and the return duct cover (9) with the deodorant (A) attached as described above is installed at the return duct inlet (8a). In this case, since the plurality of through holes 9a are formed on the surface of the return duct cover 9 on which the deodorant A is placed, the return cooler circulated inside the refrigerating chamber A passes through the deodorant A through the through holes 9a. After entering the refrigerating chamber return duct (8) is returned to the evaporator (2) side. As described above, after the return chiller passes through the deodorant (A), the odor particles mixed in the return chiller are deodorized from the deodorizer (A), and the cold air is introduced into the evaporator (2).

In the above description, the deodorant (A) structure installed in the refrigerating chamber return duct 8 is mentioned, but is not limited thereto. That is, of course, the deodorant (A) having the above-described structure can also be installed on the freezer compartment return duct (7).

Existing deodorant (A) mounting structure is attached to the upper surface of the return duct cover 9 as described above is shipped with the product installed in the inlet (8a) of the return duct (8). In this case, after the manufacture of the refrigerator in the factory, it takes a considerable time before the actual refrigerator reaches the consumer to be used. That is, after the shipment of the product, it takes a considerable time according to the distribution path such as warehouse storage-movement-store storage-movement-consumer.

In fact, during this period before the refrigerator is used, chemical odor particles generated from plastic parts and rubber material parts inside the refrigerator are deodorized by the deodorant A through the air flow. As the deodorant (A) is used before the use of the actual product as described above, when the consumer wants to use the refrigerator, there is a problem that the deodorant (A) is not close to the saturation state and thus cannot exhibit its performance in use.

As a solution to the above problem, there is a method of taping around the deodorant (A), but it is difficult to completely block the flow of the chemical odor particles by taping. As another method, after packaging the deodorant (A) separately, there is a method of removing and mounting the packaging when installing the refrigerator, but the above method has a disadvantage in that it causes a significant inconvenience to consumers or installers.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, before the installation of the refrigerator to maintain a sealed state around the deodorant to prevent the operation of the deodorant, improve the performance of the deodorant by operating the deodorant by a simple sliding operation of the deodorant when using the refrigerator And to provide a deodorant mounting structure of the refrigerator to improve the deodorizing efficiency.
