PURPOSE: A Kimchi refrigerator is provided to radiate UV rays directly to Kimchi with a UV lamp equipped in a cover of a container, thereby preventing generation of scum and microorganism breeding.CONSTITUTION: A Kimchi refrigerator comprises a main body(110) equipped with a storage compartment(120) a door(130) for opening and closing the storage compartment an UV lamp(150) equipped in the storage compartment and a wireless power supply unit(160) for supplying power to the UV lamp. The wireless power supply unit is equipped in the door. The wireless power supply unit is equipped in the door includes an alternating current/magnetic field generating unit(162) which generates alternating current and magnetic field when outside power is supplied and a induced current/magnetic field generating unit(164) equipped in the storage compartment which converts the induced current according to the induced current formed in an induced current/magnetic field generating unit into direct current and is magnetized according to the magnetic field formed in the alternating current/magnetic field generating unit. As the alternating current/magnetic field and the induced current/magnetic field are separated from each other, power is cut off. The UV lamp is equipped in the bottom surface of a cover(142) of the storage compartment(140). A protective cap(145) is formed at the bottom surface of the cover for preventing the UV lamp from being contacted with Kimchi.COPYRIGHT KIPO 2013김치냉장고에 대한 발명이 개시된다. 개시된 김치냉장고는: 저장용기를 보관하는 저장실이 구비되는 본체와, 저장실을 개폐하는 도어와, 저장용기에 구비되는 UV램프 및 UV램프에 전원을 공급하는 무선전원공급부를 포함하는 것을 특징으로 한다.
