Description

Fault indication method of kimchi storage {Method for displaying error of kimchi storage}

The present invention relates to a method for indicating a failure of a kimchi storage, and more particularly, to detect a failure of an operating device of the kimchi storage, that is, an evaporator or a heater, a temperature sensor, etc. A method for indicating the failure of a store.

In general, in order to store frozen and refrigerated foods or fermented foods (for example, kimchi, etc.), each of them should be stored at a temperature suitable for storing them. A refrigerator having a freezer and a refrigerating chamber is mainly used to perform this function. Used.

On the other hand, when storing the refrigerated food and fermented product in the refrigerator compartment of the refrigerator together, the odor generated by the fermentation of the fermented food not only causes the odor in the refrigerating chamber, but also the odor is exhausted in other refrigerated foods inherent in the refrigerated food There is a need to store bulky fermented foods (kimchi) in a separate reservoir due to the increase in refrigerated foods and fermented foods stored in the refrigerator compartment.

Also, kimchi should be buried in the ground for proper ripening, and the kimchi should be stored in it to be properly aged and tasted.However, rather than buried kimchidock in the ground due to restrictions in apartments, townhouses, etc. Even difficult to do.

Recently, in order to solve the above problems, research on kimchi storage that can store kimchi in a separate storage space, rather than a refrigerator, has been variously studied in various technical fields related thereto. As shown.

As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional kimchi storage room includes a storage main body 10, a door 20 used to store or take out kimchi in the storage main body 10, and each course of the kimchi storage. The control unit 30 is provided with a plurality of buttons to select and input.

And, the side of the storage body 10 is provided with a moving handle 15 to easily move the storage body 10 during the movement, the front of the door 20 is easy to open and close the door 20 The door handle 25 is installed in order to do so.

Meanwhile, FIG. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view taken along line AA ′ of FIG. 1, and an evaporator 12 for compressing a refrigerant at high temperature and high pressure and then circulating the refrigerant is installed at an inner lower portion of the storage body 10. Inside one side wall of the storage body 10, the temperature sensor 50 for detecting the internal temperature of the inside of the storage, and the heater 17 and the cold air to raise the internal temperature of the interior by generating heat to generate the inside of the interior Evaporators 18 for cooling the temperature are respectively provided.

An operation process of a conventional kimchi storage device constructed as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 2.

First, when the user stores kimchi in the storehouse 10, and then presses a selection change button (not shown) in the operation unit 30, an input for selecting and inputting each course such as kimchi ripening and refrigerated storage. The mode is switched.

Next, the user selects a desired course (eg, ripening selection) using each button (for example, taste selection button, kimchi selection button, cooking selection button, selection changing button, etc.) provided in the operation unit 30. If you select, the kimchi storage will run according to the selected course.

That is, the heat generated from the heater 17 in the aging mode increases the internal temperature of the storage body 10 to the aging temperature, and then heat generated from the heater 17 and cold air generated from the evaporator 18. By keeping the internal temperature in the refrigerator at the refrigerated storage temperature, kimchi stored in the reservoir body 10 is aged.

In addition, while the refrigerant is circulated by the operation of the evaporator 12 in the cold storage mode, the internal temperature of the reservoir body 10 is cooled to the cold storage temperature (about 0 ° C.) by cold air generated from the evaporator 18. Then, by the heat generated from the heater 17 and the cold air generated from the evaporator 18, the internal temperature in the refrigerator is maintained at the refrigerated storage temperature, so that the kimchi stored in the reservoir body 10 is refrigerated.

That is, in order to normally drive the kimchi storage, the selected operating device (for example, the evaporator 18 and the heater 17) selected according to the course selected and input through the operation unit 100 is normally driven to ripen the kimchi stored in the interior. It may be stored or refrigerated, and the aging or refrigerated storage temperature in the refrigerator may be maintained uniformly at a predetermined temperature by sensing the temperature in the refrigerator by a normal operation of the temperature sensor 50.

However, as described above, the conventional method fails due to various circumstances, in case of failure of the evaporator and heater, which are the main components of the kimchi storage, or the respective temperature sensing sensors for maintaining the internal temperature and the internal temperature of the kimchi storage. If the user does not find or the prompt processing by the service application is not made, because the kimchi stored in the refrigerator is not properly aged or refrigerated, there was a problem that the kimchi stored in the refrigerator is over mature or overcooled.

In addition, since the heater, the evaporator and the temperature sensor are installed in the kimchi storage, there was a problem that the operator is difficult to know their failure during the A / S.

The present invention was created to solve such a conventional problem, by detecting the malfunction of the main device of the kimchi storage, that is, evaporator, heater or temperature sensor and the like by displaying the code, letters or pictures, Its purpose is to provide a method of indicating the failure of Kimchi storage to reduce the time required for diagnosis by enabling workers to accurately identify the failure area of Kimchi storage during A / S.
