蔵室9へ排出されるものであった。The operation of the refrigerator configured as described above will be explained below. Said freezer compartment 8, refrigerator compartment 9, vegetable compartment 1
Various types of food are stored in the compartments, each of which is maintained at an appropriate temperature. However, if the temperature in each compartment rises approximately 1 to 2 degrees Celsius above the set temperature due to opening or closing of the refrigerator door, etc., the thermostat set inside the refrigerator will be activated. The compressor 22 is operated by a switch (not shown), the evaporator 13 is cooled by circulating the fluorocarbon gas refrigerant, and the cold air is sent to the freezer compartment 8 and the refrigerator by the internal fan 14 through the ventilation passages 15 and 16, respectively. It flows into chamber 9. And the ozone generator 27
operates in synchronization with the operation of the compressor 22,
The circulating cold air (including odor) that has flowed into the refrigerator compartment 9 through the ventilation passage 16, that is, the interior air A, flows into the deodorizing device 23 through its inflow hole 2.
6 and from the high voltage generator 37 to the high voltage electrode 3.
When a pulsed high voltage is applied between the low-voltage electrode 33 and the low-voltage electrode 33, a silent discharge is generated between the two electrodes, and the oxygen contained in the passing indoor air A is changed to ozone, resulting in highly concentrated ozonized air. The odor components are decomposed in the ozone reaction chamber 28. Here, the unreacted ozone was decomposed into oxygen by the ozone decomposition filter 29, and was discharged from the discharge hole 26 to the refrigerator compartment 9 as indicated by arrow B in FIG.

有していた。Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above configuration, the ozone generator 2
The deodorizing device 23 equipped with 7 is installed as a separate component on the mesh shelf 20 of the refrigerator compartment 9, and has the disadvantage that the effective internal volume of the refrigerator compartment 9 is reduced and the amount of food stored therein is reduced. Ta. Furthermore, since the ozone generator 27 is located in the refrigerator compartment 9 where food is stored, the humidity is higher than that in the ventilation passage 16 due to the moisture coming out of the food, and the ozone generation efficiency is not very good. An ozone generator with a relatively large capacity is required, and for that purpose, a high voltage generator 3 is required.
It was necessary to increase the capacity to 7. As a result, there is a problem in that the deodorizing device 23 becomes larger, which further reduces the effective internal volume of the refrigerator compartment 9. Since the deodorizing device 23 does not have a structure that allows ozonized air to flow out into the refrigerator compartment 9, it has almost no ability to sterilize the dirty inner wall surfaces of the refrigerator or the surfaces of stored foods and containers and clean the inside of the refrigerator. Ta. Conventional refrigerators had the above problems.
本発明は上記問題点に鑑み、冷蔵室の有効内容積を減少

It is possible to sterilize, that is, clean, the inside of a warehouse contaminated with bacteria and molds originating from bacteria, and to maintain and improve the freshness of foods by preventing secondary contamination of stored foods by bacteria and molds using the sterilizing action. It is something. However, since the ozone generator is located outside the refrigerator compartment, it does not reduce the effective internal volume of the refrigerator compartment.

面や食品表面の殺菌を行なうものである。The operation of the refrigerator configured as above will be explained. The ozone generator 26 is a creeping discharge type ozone generator (the conventional example is a silent discharge type), and when a high frequency high voltage is applied to both the electrodes 30 and 32 by the high voltage generator 26, a discharge occurs. A high-frequency creeping streamer discharge stronger than the electrode 32 occurs, and ozone is generated in the surrounding area. The generated ozone is forcibly circulated by the internal fan 14 to the refrigerator compartment 9 and the vegetable compartment 1o, where it deodorizes odor components and sterilizes the internal walls and food surfaces.

ン生成能力が高いものである。Further, the ozone generator 25 is operated intermittently for a predetermined period of time only at night when the door remains closed by the timer mechanism of the control means 27 to maintain the concentration in the refrigerator compartment e at a predetermined concentration. Here, the relationship between the ozone generation ability of the ozone generator 26 and humidity will be explained using FIG. 4. Point A in Figure 4 indicates that the ozone concentration is low under conditions of relatively high absolute humidity, as in the conventional example, and point B indicates that the ozone concentration is high under conditions of relatively low absolute humidity, as in the embodiment of the present invention. It shows what will happen. Therefore, the ozone generator 26
The ozone generating capacity is high because it is installed in an atmosphere with low absolute humidity.

6の運転時間を短かくして節電することが出来る。As described above, the ozone generator 26 is provided in the ventilation passage 16, the high voltage generator 26 and the control means 27 are arranged outside the warehouse, and the ozone generator 26 supplies the ozonized cooling air to the warehouse. Since the internal fan 14 circulates the liquid to the refrigerator compartment 9, the effective internal volume of the refrigerator compartment 9 is not reduced as in the conventional example, and odor components in the refrigerator compartment 9 and the vegetable compartment 10 are deodorized. In addition, it is possible to sterilize or clean the inside of the warehouse that has been contaminated with bacteria and mold, thereby preventing secondary contamination of stored fresh food inside the refrigerator and preserving food hygienically. . Further, the ozone generator 2
6 is disposed within the ventilation passage 16 where the absolute humidity is low, so the ozone generation efficiency is superior to that of the prior art. Therefore, the ozone generator 26 may be smaller than the conventional one, or the ozone generator 2
It is possible to save electricity by shortening the operating time of 6.

The refrigerator is characterized in that means is disposed outside the refrigerator, and cooling air ozonized by the ozone generator is circulated into the refrigerator compartment by the internal fan.
Unlike conventional methods, the effective internal volume of the refrigerator compartment is not reduced.
It not only deodorizes the odorous components in the refrigerator and vegetable compartments, but also sterilizes or cleans the interior of the refrigerator that is contaminated with bacteria and mold.
Secondary contamination of stored fresh food inside the warehouse is prevented, and the food can be stored hygienically. In addition, since the ozone generator is installed in the ventilation passage where the absolute humidity is low, the ozone generation efficiency is superior to conventional ones, so it is possible to use a smaller ozone generator than conventional ones, and to increase the operating time of the ozone generator. You can save energy by shortening the time.
