A bottle storage includes a container that contains a bottle; a cooling-warming apparatus provided to surround a position where the bottle is contained; and an image capturer that captures an image of the bottle contained in the container. The cooling-warming apparatus has a gap at least at a portion of the cooling-warming apparatus corresponding to at least a part of an image capturing region of the image capturer.

Bottle storage

In a storage compartment (), storage spaces having different mist concentrations are formed such that effects of a mist is more efficiently utilized to provide a refrigerator with improved usability. The storage compartment () includes a first storage unit () that has a high mist concentration. The first storage unit () includes a spray device () and is disposed in a position outside an air path of cool air between a discharge port () through which the cool air flows in from outside the storage compartment () and a suction port () through which the cool air is discharged to outside the storage compartment (). Thus, mist concentration inside the first storage unit () can be increased.

Refrigerator

The refrigerator includes a vegetable compartment () thermally insulated by a rear partition (), and a mist generation department () for atomizing a mist into the vegetable compartment (), and the mist generation department () includes a atomizing electrode () for atomizing the mist into the vegetable compartment (), a voltage applicator () for applying a voltage to the atomizing electrode (), and a cooling pin () coupled to the atomizing electrode (), in which the atomizing electrode () is cooled to a temperature lower than the dew point by a outlet air-duct for freezer compartment (), and the moisture in the air is cooled to condense dew on the atomizing electrode (), and is atomized as a mist into the vegetable compartment (), and dew can be condensed from moisture onto the atomizing electrode () stably and in a simple configuration, and the freshness of the food is enhanced while the reliability of the refrigerator is enhanced.

Refrigerator, and electric device

A compact ice-making device is provided for making ice chips of varied shapes for use in glasses of whiskey and water, and the like purposes. Ice is made using an ice-making vessel () for making a plank-like block of ice with a shaft () inserted in advance in the vessel, the shaft () having ribs (A) extending substantially radially from a rotating axis. Upon completion of the ice making, a gear unit () connected to the shaft () is driven by a motor to rotate the shaft (), which cracks and divides the plank-like ice block into ice chips of varied shapes.
