Description

Refrigerator {Refrigerator}

The present invention relates to a refrigerator in which a vegetable barrel is rotatably installed inside a refrigerator. More particularly, the present invention relates to a refrigerator having a plurality of vegetable barns stacked in a refrigerator room provided separately below the refrigerator, The present invention relates to a refrigerator in which each of the vegetable vats can be independently rotated and the temperature of the vegetable vats can be adjusted.

Generally, a refrigerator is a box-shaped device for storing low temperature such as food or medicines so as not to cool or abrade it, and is a household appliance which is made up of a storage room and a cooling device and is cooled by using ice, electricity and gas. Such a refrigerator has been developed to include diverse functions as the size of the refrigerator is becoming larger and more varied as the dietary change and user's taste are varied. The shape of the refrigerator is also becoming more diverse depending on the configuration of the storage space. The storage space inside the refrigerator can be largely composed of a refrigerator compartment and a freezer compartment, and the refrigerator compartment and the freezer compartment are partitioned by a partition. Especially, refrigerator which is mainly used in household is mainly used by side by side type refrigerator. The freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment are located on the left and right sides, respectively. The freezing compartment and the refrigerating compartment are individually opened and closed by the freezing compartment door and the refrigerating compartment door, respectively.

As the size of the conventional refrigerator increases, the storage area for storing contents increases. Accordingly, when the food stored in the refrigerator is taken out, it is inconvenient to take out the food stored in the inside of the refrigerator after taking out all of the food stored in the front side, and forgetting the existence of the fruit or vegetable inside, And it has been disadvantageous.

In addition, when the fruit or the inside of the refrigerator is stored, the cold air is not circulated smoothly and the fruits and vegetables often freeze. In the state where the refrigerator door is opened, the cold air supplied to the storage room leaks to the outside, There is a problem that power efficiency is lowered

Therefore, it is necessary to develop a refrigerator which can store various kinds of fruits or vegetables by kinds, can easily be taken out, can confirm visually whether corruption is visible, and can control temperature.
