The present invention relates to a refrigerator in which a beverage or ice, such as water cooled in a refrigerator, can be taken out from the outside of the refrigerator, and more particularly, to easily discharge falling water generated when discharging cooling water or ice. The present invention relates to a fall water treatment apparatus for a refrigerator, which is easy to use.

In general, the refrigerator capable of taking out the cooling water cooled in the refrigerator from the outside of the refrigerator is formed in the refrigerator body 1 to store food and the like in the refrigerator main body 1 as shown in FIG. 3) is coupled to open and close, and in the refrigerating chamber 2, an evaporator 6 for cooling the surroundings while evaporating the refrigerant compressed in the compressor 4 after condensing in the condenser 5 is coupled.

The door 3 is provided with a discharge port 9 for discharging a predetermined amount of cooling water from the cold water container 8 mounted in the refrigerating chamber 2 according to the operation of the lever 7. The lower side of the support plate 11 for seating the container 10 is coupled.

Therefore, when the lever 7 is operated while the container 10 is seated on the support plate 11, the appropriate amount of coolant stored in the cold water container 8 is discharged into the container 10 through the discharge port 9. Withdrawal is possible.

However, such a conventional refrigerator is inconvenient to clean the support plate from time to time by removing the support plate when some of the coolant discharged from the discharge port falls into the support plate. There is a problem of being very unsanitary.

In addition, there is also a problem such as that the use of such a need to clean from time to time so as not to overflow overflow stored in the support plate is very inconvenient.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the object of the present invention is to facilitate the discharge of the fresh water generated during the discharge of the coolant is easy to use and very hygienic free fall water treatment apparatus of the refrigerator To provide.

The fall water treatment apparatus of the refrigerator according to the present invention made to achieve the above object is a refrigerator having a discharge port for discharging the cooling water from the cold water container mounted in the refrigerating chamber to the outside of the refrigerator, the falling water is stored in the lower side of the discharge port A support member having a storage plate and a drain pipe connected to the downfall storage plate so as to be rotatable to discharge the falling water in the downfall storage plate in accordance with the operation of the drain cock are disposed in the downflow storage plate. By being easily discharged through the hygienic state around the refrigerator is not only very clean, it is possible to discharge without separating the support member is characterized in that the use is very convenient.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 2.

In the drawings, the same components as those in the related art are denoted by the same name and the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In the drawing, reference numeral 20 denotes a support member on which the container 10 is seated so that the coolant discharged from the discharge port 9 can be received, and the support member 20 has a door 3 to allow storage of falling water therein. And a backing plate 24 fixed to the bottom), and a backing plate 24 seated in the downflow storage plate 22 to which a container 10 such as a cup is seated.

In addition, a drain pipe 26 having a drain cock 26a that is opened and closed according to an operation is rotatably coupled to the lower side of the downfall storage plate 22, and a drain pipe 26 is accommodated below the drain pipe 26. Receiving portion 28 is formed to be.

Next will be described the operation and effect of the refrigerator according to the present invention configured as described above.

First, when a container 10 such as a cup is placed on the support member 20 and the lever 7 is operated to open the discharge port 9, the coolant in the cold water container 8 is discharged through the discharge port 9. It is discharged into the container 10.

In addition, a drop of water that coolant discharged through the discharge port 9 overflows the container 10 or falls directly from the discharge port 9 is stored in the drop storage plate 22 of the support member 20. In order to discharge the falling water stored in the downspout plate 22, the drain pipe 26 accommodated in the accommodating part 28 is rotated to protrude to the outside of the door 3, and then separately at the tip of the drain pipe 26. When the container is placed and the drain cock 26a is opened, the dripping water in the drip reservoir 22 is easily discharged through the drain pipe 26.

Then, when the falling water in the downfall storage plate 22 is completely discharged, after closing the drain cock 26a, the drain pipe 26 is rotated to be stored in the accommodating part 28.

Therefore, since the drainage water generated during the intake is stored in the drainage reservoir and easily discharged through the drain pipe, the hygiene state around the refrigerator is kept very clean, and the drainage can be discharged without using the supporting member. There are many advantages, such as being very convenient.

On the other hand, Figure 3 is a view showing another embodiment of the present invention, the flexible pipe 36 having a variable length and flexibility is connected to the lower side of the downfall storage plate 22, the flexible pipe 36 At the distal end, a drain cock 36a is provided to enable the discharge of the falling water stored in the downspout plate 22 according to the operation, and the flexible pipe 36 is a receiving portion formed in the door 3 when not in use. The cover plate 22a is housed in (28), and the cover plate 22a is hingedly coupled to the dripping reservoir plate 22 so that the flexible pipe 36 housed in the receiving portion 28 can be pulled out.

Therefore, in order to discharge the falling water stored in the falling-water storage plate 22, the flexible pipe 36 is withdrawn from the accommodating part 28 with the cover plate 22a open, and the drain cock 36a is carried out. To discharge the falling water in a separate container, and then open the cover plate 22a again in the state where the drain cock 36a is closed, and store the flexible pipe 36 in the receiving portion 28 to easily discharge the falling water. It is to be made.

In the present embodiment, as in one embodiment, it is easy to treat falling water, so that the surroundings of the refrigerator are always clean and very hygienic, and the use is very convenient.
