Here, the door plate holder is installed inside both upper ends of the dispenser opening, a stop member for stopping and maintaining the dispenser door plate when the dispenser door plate is closed, and an outer portion of the door at a central upper end portion of the dispenser opening. It is preferable to include a stop releasing member which is installed to communicate with the surface, and presses the stop member to release the stop so that the dispenser door plate is opened.

Here, the stop member preferably includes a locking projection protruding inclined to the upper sides of the rear side of the dispenser door plate, an engaging jaw engaging with the locking jaw, and an elastic member for elastically rotating the engaging jaw. .

In addition, the stopping member has a T-shape, it is preferable to have one pressing end and two pressing ends for pressing the engaging jaw.

Hereinafter, a refrigerator according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 2 is a perspective view showing a refrigerator equipped with a dispenser door according to the present invention, Figure 3 is a side perspective view showing an open state of the dispenser door of the refrigerator according to the present invention, Figure 4 is a dispenser door of the refrigerator according to the present invention Is a side perspective view showing a closed state, FIG. 5 is a front view of FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 is an enlarged perspective view showing the stopping member of FIG. 4.

As shown in FIG. 2, the refrigerator rotates the main opening 21 of the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment 25 and the front openings of the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment 25 with the intermediate partition interposed therebetween. It has a freezer door 27 and a refrigerating chamber door 33. The upper hinge brackets 31 are respectively coupled to the upper front edges of the main body 21 to protrude forward, and hinge pins (not shown) are formed on the upper hinge brackets 31 to protrude downward. . In the main body 21, each food storage space is divided into a shelf 26. And each of the rear surface of the freezer door 27 and the refrigerating chamber door 33 is provided with spaces for storing simple foods such as drinks in stages.

In the front of the freezer door 27, a control panel 30 provided with a function input key of a user is installed to facilitate the operation of the refrigerator, and a dispenser 35 for supplying a beverage is provided at the bottom of the control panel 30. It is prepared. A dispenser opening 36 is formed in the dispenser 35 to communicate with the outside. A valve operation lever 34 is provided in the dispenser opening 37 so as to block and supply water or ice.

The dispenser door 36 is provided at the dispenser opening 36 so as to be closed only when the user desires it. 5 and 6, the handle 38 is formed in any one of a recessed type or a protruding type, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

As shown in FIG. 3, the lower end of the dispenser opening 36 has a door plate accommodating portion 39 for receiving the dispenser door plate 37 to be slidably open in the open state of the dispenser opening 36. It is concealed from the front surface of (27). As shown in FIG. 4, the dispenser door plate 37 is closed by sliding the dispenser door plate 37 accommodated in the door plate accommodating part 39 to the upper side by using the handle 38 to close the dispenser door plate 37. ) Is caught by the door plate holder 40 installed to maintain the stopper of the dispenser door plate 37 at the upper end of the dispenser opening 36 in a state where the dispenser opening 36 is closed. This is because the dispenser door plate 37 slides up and down through the door plate accommodating portion 39 to open and close the dispenser opening 36.

The door plate holder 40 is installed at the upper end of the dispenser 35 so that the stopper member 41 is engaged with the dispenser door plate 37 to be fixed in a closed state, and the outer side of the upper end of the dispenser opening 36 is external. It is installed so as to communicate with the stop member 41 has a stop canceling member 42 for solving the stop holding according to the pressure of the stop member (41). The stop member 41 includes a protruding locking jaw 43 formed at both sides of the rear surface of the dispenser door plate 37 at a predetermined inclination angle, and an L-shaped engaging jaw 44 engaging each of the locking jaws 43. And an elastic member 45 for allowing the engaging jaw 44 to be elastically rotatable. The engaging jaw 44 is installed so that one end of the L-shape is fixed to the freezing chamber door 27 and rotatable from the fixed point, and is restored to the elastic rotation by the elastic member 45.

As shown in FIG. 5, the stop releasing member 42 has one pressing end 46 in a T-shape and a pressing end 47 for pressing the engaging jaw 44. Accordingly, the pressing end portion 46 is accommodated in the rectangular hole penetrating the upper portion of the center side of the dispenser opening 36 so that the user pressing force of the pressing end portion 46 is transmitted to each of the pressing end portions 47. Of the engaging jaw 44 causes the rotation. This stops the engagement of the engaging jaw 43 by pressing the stop member 42 against the engaging jaw 44, and thus, the dispenser door plate 37 is slid downwards and the door plate It is possible to speculate that the receiving portion 39 is accommodated as shown in FIG. 3.

The present invention is provided with a dispenser door plate in the dispenser of the refrigerator, thereby blocking the inflow of foreign substances to keep the internal environment of the dispenser clean, and to provide a neat refrigerator without appearance bends.
