Title:
ATOMIZER AND STORAGE APPARATUS PROVIDED WITH ATOMIZER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2009000637
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To solve the problem that there is a possibility that the contact of water with microorganisms such as bacteria suspended in a storage space causes propagation of the microorganisms in water and the microorganisms propagated during the storage in a state that sterilization effect is insufficient are released as they are alive into the storage space with mist water containing the microorganisms by an atomizer.

The refrigerator of the storage apparatus has a water storage part 42 for storing a liquid and an atomizer arranged to incorporate a sterilization unit in which a first electrode 48a and a second electrode 48b each having different ionization tendency are arranged at a position opposed to each other in the water storage part 42 with a certain interval and a short circuit part for short-circuiting between the first electrode 48a and the second electrode 48b. As a result, the propagation of the microorganism in the inside water is suppressed to sterilize with a simple structure without using power while keeping high safety and continuity and attaining a low cost and humidity of the storage space (vegetable chamber) of the refrigerator is kept high by spraying safe mist and freshness of vegetables is kept for a long period of time.
