The detailed description and drawings of the present invention are intended to be understood as [Embodiment] Referring to the first drawing, a food storage device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below. The shock includes a housing 100 which is divided by a partition 110 into a container 120 and an air flow chamber 130. The container 120 is provided for storing a perishable food 160' such as meat, vegetables, fruit and seafood, and 201010626 the container 120 is provided with a door 128. The food 160 is placed on a tray 124 and covered by a plastic film 170. The air flow chamber 130 is provided with a fan 140 which is driven by a motor. Fan 140 directs ambient air from an air inlet 132 to create a forced air flow through an air outlet 112 that flows into the container 120 at the upper end of the partition Π 0. Placed in the air flow chamber 130 is an electrostatically atomizing un it 10 ' which produces a mist of charged minute water particles that are directed toward the container The forced air flow of 120 causes the spray to be sprayed on the food 160 covered by the plastic film 170. The air flow chamber 130 includes a separator 134 that separates a first flow path from a second flow path. The first flow path extends from the air inlet 132 to the air outlet port ’2' at the upper end of the air flow chamber 130 and is passed through a fan 14 for guiding the forced air flow toward the air outlet 112. The second flow path extends from the air inlet 132 to the air outlet 112 but does not pass through the fan 14 to create an additional air flow due to the forced air flow to the air outlet 112 and into the container 12 Attracted by the attraction. The atomizing unit 10 is disposed on the second flow path to carry a spray of charged micro-droplets onto a forced air stream directed toward the container. A filter 135 is disposed on the first flow path and upstream of the fan 140 to remove impurities (specially 201010626 is not bacteria or viruses in the air). A similar filter i36 is disposed on the second flow path and located upstream of the atomizing unit 1〇. The air flow additionally includes a humidifier 138 disposed on the first flow path and downstream of the fan 14 () to humidify the air flowing into the container 120. The humidifier 138 contains - humidifying element #'. The humidifying element 9 receives water supplied from a storage tank (not shown) and evaporates the water. The filter can be made of any material as long as the material can capture at least one of the read and virus. In addition, the holding device includes a controller j5〇, and the controller 150 controls the humidifier 138 according to the output signal of the humidity sense '152 exposed in the container 12〇, so that the flow and humidity of the container 120 are two. For food preservation, it can be adjusted to the best. Referring to the second figure, the atomization unit 1G includes a drum 12 loaded with an emitter electrode 20 and an opposite electrode 24 . The emitter electrode 20 protrudes from the bottom of the drum 12'. The counter electrode 24 is disposed opposite the emitter electrode 2''. The reflective electrode 24 is formed as an electrically conductive substrate ' having a circular opening and the reflective electrode 24 has an inner edge. The inner edge is spaced a predetermined distance from a discharge end 22 at the top end of the emitter electrode 20, thereby defining a discharge passage for the discharge spray. The atomization unit 10 includes a cooling means 3A and a high voltage 201010626 mo. The cooling means 3 is connected to cool the emitter electrode 20 so that the moisture carried by the air around the emitter electrode 20 is condensed to The electrode 20 is irradiated to supply moisture to the emitter electrode 20. The high voltage source 50 is for applying a high voltage through the emitter electrode 20 and the counter electrode 24, so that the moisture on the emitter electrode is charged and atomized into charged droplets, thereby allowing the charged droplets to be charged. It is discharged from the discharge passage 26 in the form of a spray. The cooling means 30 is implemented by a Peltier module (Peltier ® modu 1 e ) having a cooling side and thermo-electric elements, the cooling side being connected to the emitter electrode 20 Keep away from one end of the discharge end 22. The thermoelectric element is applied with a predetermined voltage, and the emitter electrode 20 is cooled to a temperature lower than the dew point of the water. The Peltier module has a plurality of thermoelectric elements which are arranged in parallel with each other between the heat conductors 31 and 32 to allow the emitter electrode 20 to be cooled at a cooling rate. A variable voltage generated by a cooling power supply circuit 40 can determine the cooling rate. A heat conductor 31 defining the cooling side is connected to the transmitting electrode 20. The other heat conductor 32 defining the heat radiation side is connected to a heat sink 36. The Parr-Tie module is fixed between the bottom of the drum 12 and the heat sink 36, and its cooling side heat conductor 31 contacts the root of the emitter electrode 2 in a heat transfer manner. The high voltage source 50 includes a 201010626 high voltage generating circuit for applying a high voltage through the emitter electrode 20 and the grounded opposite electrode 24 to give the emitter electrode 20 a negative voltage or a positive voltage (eg, Negative 4 6 ^ volts (-4.6 kV)) This is used to produce a mist of charged microdroplets having a nanometer size of about 1 nanometer to 3 nanometers. A spray is generated toward the air carried through the air outlet 112 to be sprayed onto the food 160. The air outlet 112 is provided with a rotating fan 114' for uniformly dispersing the forced air flow with the spray into the 120. ° Under such a connection, it is worth noting that the spray effectively traps the presence of air in the charged micro-drops so that its activity can be maintained for a longer period of time. For example. The base includes a hydroxyl group (hydr〇xyl radica〇, which is easily trapped in the charged microdroplets when it is trapped in the charged droplets, and is effective in disinfecting the food. The chemical unit 1G is disposed such that its opposite electrode 24 (separated from the transmitting electrode 20) faces the air outlet i! 2 so as to attract the charged droplets of the charged f to direct the charged micro-droplets along the airflow toward the valley : 120, means the food 160 in the container 120. Or, when the atomizing unit omits the opposite electrode, it is located under the atomizing unit: the double-part of the volt can be used as an equivalent electrode, The discharge of the charged microdroplets to the container 120 t. The atomization unit 10 is controlled by a controller.

^為能讓帶電荷的微液滴擴散於其中。 —接著’將說明各種的實驗測試,以展現出帶電 何的微液滴喷霧喷灑在被塑膠臈包覆的食物上時, ,具有的殺菌效果。如第五圖所示,纟中—種測試 是利用容積為7G公升、溫度保持在攝氏5度以及濕 度保持在"百分比⑴@容器120來完成。單獨 一霧化單元10被使用來持續地產生每秒〇. 15 χ i〇u 個(30叫〇1/€)帶電荷的微液滴,以噴灑帶電荷的微 液滴喷霧於三個靛胭脂(indig〇 carmine)的樣本。 其中第一個(A)是被聚偏二氣乙烯(pDVC)膜包覆,第 二個(B)是被聚乙烯(pe)膜包覆,第三個(c)沒有被 任何膜包覆。 該靛胭脂被用來作為食物的替代物,氧化時會 變成藍色’氧化改善時會變成無色。該測試花了 12 天來完成’持續地喷灑喷霧於已氧化(意指變成藍 色)的靛胭脂上。為了比較’同樣三個樣本在同樣 13 201010626 寺門之内’不會暴露於喷霧之t。請參考附件一所 ,、(附件為一組照片,展示一組實驗測試的結 果虽9到12天過去後,暴露於喷霧之中的全部 色':ΐ有暴露於喷霧之中的同樣樣本 色。也就是說,被任何一種塑膠臈包覆的 樣本與沒有被塑㈣包覆的樣本呈現出—樣的改善 效果。換句話說,沒有被喷灑喷霧的樣本並沒有呈 現出,善的效果^這樣展現出任何—種塑膠膜對於 帶電荷的微液滴而言,都是可穿透的,且都可給於 樣本改善效果。 σ ' 接著,如附件二所示(附件二為一組照片,展 示另一組實驗測試的結果),另外一個測試是用來檢 視一個起司(一種易腐敗的食物16〇)的重量、外觀 及觸感的變化。兩種起司的樣本(一個被塑膠膜包 覆,另一個沒有被塑膠膜包覆)被放置於容器12〇 之中達15天。容器120的溫度一直維持在攝氏5 度,濕度前七天維持在99百分比,後8天維持在 7〇百分比。每秒0.15 χ 10“個(3〇 μηι〇1/£)帶電荷 的从液滴的喷霧被產生,並被持續地喷丨麗15天。 為了比較’相似的樣本被放置於相同環境下的 容器中,但是沒有暴露於帶電荷的微液滴喷霧中。 ^六圖顯示出了測試結果,其中起司樣本[丨]為被塑 膠膜包覆且被暴露於喷霧,相較於其他三個樣本重 201010626 最少,而該三個樣本分別為:起司樣本m 為被塑膠膜包覆,但沒暴露於喷霧;另-個起司樣 本[3]為沒被塑膠膜包覆,但暴露於喷霧,·又一個起 =樣本[4]為沒被塑膠膜包覆,也沒暴露於喷霧。從 結果來看’被塑膠膜包覆及被暴露於喷霧的起司樣 本仍保持軟的,然而其餘的起司樣本因為水分的流 失=變硬。並且可以發現,對於沒有被包覆的樣本^ To allow the charged microdroplets to diffuse into it. - Next, various experimental tests will be described to demonstrate the bactericidal effect of the charged micro-droplet spray sprayed on the food coated with the plastic enamel. As shown in the fifth figure, the mid-test is performed using a volume of 7 G liters, a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, and a humidity maintained at "percent (1) @container 120. A separate atomization unit 10 is used to continuously generate 〇. 15 χ i〇u (30 〇 1/€) charged microdroplets to spray charged microdroplets onto three A sample of indig〇carmine. The first (A) is coated with a polyvinylidene dioxide (pDVC) film, the second (B) is coated with a polyethylene (pe) film, and the third (c) is not coated with any film. . This rouge is used as a substitute for food and will turn blue when oxidized. The test took 12 days to complete the 'continuous spray spray on the oxidized (meaning blue) blush. In order to compare 'the same three samples are within the same 13 201010626 temple door' will not be exposed to the spray t. Please refer to Annex I, (Attachment is a set of photos showing the results of a set of experimental tests, even after 9 to 12 days, all the colors exposed to the spray': the same exposure to the spray The color of the sample. That is to say, the sample coated with any plastic crucible exhibits an improved effect on the sample that is not coated with plastic (four). In other words, the sample that has not been sprayed is not presented. The effect of good ^ thus shows that any kind of plastic film is permeable to charged micro-droplets, and can give the sample improvement effect. σ ' Next, as shown in Annex II (Annex 2 For one set of photos, the results of another set of experimental tests are shown), and the other test is used to examine changes in the weight, appearance, and feel of a cheese (a food that is prone to spoilage). Samples of two cheeses (one covered with a plastic film and the other not covered with a plastic film) was placed in a container for 12 days. The temperature of the container 120 was maintained at 5 degrees Celsius, and the temperature remained at 99% for seven days before the humidity. The day is maintained at 7 percent. 0.15 χ 10" (3〇μηι〇1/£) charged spray from the droplets is generated and continuously sprayed for 15 days. To compare 'similar samples are placed in the same environment The container, but not exposed to the charged microdroplet spray. ^ Six figures show the test results, in which the cheese sample [丨] is covered by a plastic film and exposed to the spray, compared to the other The three samples weighed the least at 201010626, and the three samples were: the cheese sample m was coated with a plastic film but not exposed to the spray; the other cheese sample [3] was not covered with a plastic film. However, it was exposed to the spray, and another sample = [4] was not covered by the plastic film and was not exposed to the spray. From the results, the sample of the cheese coated with the plastic film and exposed to the spray was observed. Still soft, however the rest of the cheese samples are hardened due to moisture loss and can be found for samples that are not coated

This test has the same conditions as the tests in Annexes 2 and 6 above: conditions. Please refer to Annexes 3 and 7 (Attachment 3 is a group photo showing the results of another set of experimental tests). It can be found that the ham sample [1] is covered with plastic film and exposed to spray, and with the other three Compared with the samples, the weight loss is the least, and the three sample points are: the sample [2] is covered by the plastic film, but not exposed to the spray; the other sample [3] is not covered by the plastic film, but Exposure to spray; and a sample [4] was not covered by a plastic film and was not exposed to a spray. From the results, the sample "coated with plastic enamel and exposed to the spray" remains soft. However, the rest of the sample is hard due to the loss of moisture and can be seen as 'for uncoated samples. In terms of it, it has become so corrupt that it is impossible to clearly see the difference in appearance and touch. 201010626 Green is shown in Annexes 4 and 8 (Attachment 4 is a set of photos showing the results of the re-group test), and another test is used to examine similar changes in beef (a perishable food). Two beef samples, the sample (A) was coated with a polyethylene (PE) film, and the second sample (B) was not covered with a plastic film, and was placed in the above container 120 for three days, and the container 12〇 The temperature is maintained at 5 degrees Celsius' relative humidity maintained at 70%. 〇. 1 5 X 1 〇 14 (30 μιηοΐ/t) sprays of charged microdroplets were produced and sprayed continuously for 3 days. For comparison, the same samples were placed in the container under the same enthalpy conditions, but were not exposed to the charged microdroplet spray. Figure 8 shows the test results. It can be found that beef samples coated with polyethylene plastic film and exposed to spray [丨] and beef samples coated with the same plastic film but not exposed to spray [2], No significant difference was seen in the weight reduction. However, there is a significant difference in weight reduction between the coated samples [1], [2] and the uncoated samples [3], [4] and @言. Further, there is a significant difference in appearance and tactile sensation between sample [1] and sample [2]. In addition, the samples that were not coated were so corrupt that the difference in appearance and touch was not apparent. From the results, it can be found that the beef sample coated with the plastic film and exposed to the spray [1] is most effective for maintaining the freshness of the food. The bactericidal effect of the two beef samples was examined. One of the samples was coated with a polyethylene film (PE) film and the other sample was coated with a polyvinylidene dioxide (PVDC) plastic film. A set of samples was placed in a similar container and sprayed for three days. The other set of samples was placed in the container but not exposed to the spray to be used by the car. The s-charged micro-droplets are produced and sprayed under the same conditions as the above-mentioned Annexes 4 and 8. The bactericidal effect was evaluated based on the number of bacteria on the sample (colony forming unit/square centimeter, cfu/cm2) three days before and two days later. The number of bacteria was measured using a known plate dilution method. The results of the test are shown in the table below. , Plastic film type Condition bacteria number (cfu/cm2) Initial situation three days later Φ 7, 'Wcr Exposure to spray 101 238889 No exposure to spray 372 20444444 Exposure to dew 206 125556 Cj /^p No exposure to spray 350 22833333 It is apparent from the table that the radicals carried by the charged microdroplets succeed in penetrating any plastic film to prevent the bacteria from proliferating on the beef. 17 201010626 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The figure is a cross-sectional view of a food storage device in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
