Embodiment Construction

[0038] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Referring to FIG. 1 , the illustrated refrigerator 1 includes a fresh food cooling space 3 and a frozen food cooling space 2 . It should be understood, however, that other configurations are also applicable. The refrigerator 1 includes a refrigeration cycle system (not shown) for cooling air inside the refrigerator so as to cool the interior of the refrigerator. One or more fans 8 may preferably be included in the refrigerator for the purpose of circulating the air in the fresh food cooling space 3 and / or the frozen food cooling space 2 .

[0039] The fresh food compartment 3 includes a plurality of shelves 6, 7 for supporting stored food. Below the lower shelf 6 there is at least one vegetable storage box 4 for storing fresh vegetables and keeping them fresh. The cartridge is preferably made of plastics material and comprises a bottom panel, cl...

Abstract

A vegetable bin (4) or a refrigerator comprises a floor, enclosing side walls and a substantially open top. The vegetable bin is placed within a refrigerated space beneath a lower shelf (6) to be cooled. The vegetable bin is furt provided with a lid (5) to cover said open top, and said lid is suspended underneath the lower shelf directly above t vegetable bin. In one condition the lid substantially seals the vegetable bin to help keep the vegetables fresh. In another condition the lid is lifted up a small amount at a rear portion of the lid, by operating control means (11), in order to allow the air within the vegetable container to exchange with the air of the refrigerated space. The air pathway is opened between the lid and the upper perimeter of the vegetable bin and is preferably located toward th rear of the refrigerated space proximate a circulating fan (8).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vegetable storage box used in a refrigerator, and in particular to a vegetable storage box capable of keeping products fresh for a long time. Background technique [0002] Vegetables and / or fruits are usually stored in covered food compartments or food boxes in the refrigerator, the purpose is to maintain a relatively high humidity level in the box, so that the food keeps fresher for a longer period of time. Food containers with lids are also known to help keep the atmospheric conditions within the container relatively constant and to reduce changes that may occur when the refrigerator door is repeatedly opened and closed during normal use. A problem with prior art lidded vegetable storage boxes is that they may maintain levels of humidity inside the boxes that are too high for some types of produce and may also result in excessive moisture deposition. Since the vegetables and fruits also generally breathe, the resul...
