The present invention relates to an internet refrigerator, and more particularly, to a communication pad mounting structure for an internet refrigerator configured to be applicable to a home bar and to prevent detachment of a communication pad and prevent detachment.

Figure 1 shows the appearance of the Internet refrigerator according to the prior art.

As shown therein, doors 11 and 13 are installed in the Internet refrigerator (hereinafter referred to as a refrigerator) main body 10. The doors 11 and 13 are used to selectively open and close a predetermined storage space provided in the main body 10, respectively, by hinges h and h 'on one side of the main body 10, respectively. It is installed rotatably.

Meanwhile, door handles 11 'and 13' are provided at one side of the front surface corresponding to the other side of the rotation center of the doors 11 and 13, respectively. The door 11 on the left side of the drawing 11 is provided with a dispenser 15 for supplying water to the outside, and the communication pad 17 is provided on the door 13 on the right side of the drawing. do.

The communication pad 17 uses an LCD screen which displays various information related to the operation of the Internet and the refrigerator to the outside, or simultaneously displays various information related to the operation of the internet and the refrigerator to the outside. A tablet computer having a touch screen and a control unit for receiving an operation signal may be used. The communication pad 17 is connected to the control unit 19 provided on the upper surface of the main body 10 by wire or wirelessly, and is mounted on one side of the door 13.

As shown in the drawing, a front space of the refrigerator door 13 is provided with a seating space 14 for seating the communication pad 17. The seating space 14 is formed so that the front surface thereof is opened, and a pair of through holes 14a are formed in the bottom surface of the seating space 14. In addition, upper and lower ends of the seating space 14 are provided with a clamp 20 and a holder 30 for fixing the communication pad 17, respectively.

The clamp 20 is provided with a seating groove 21 in which the upper end of the communication pad 17 is seated, and the left and right sides are long, and the front end of the front surface of the communication pad 17 is supported at the front end of the clamp 20. A stage 23 is provided. The clamp 20 is rotatably installed back and forth by a hinge 25 provided at an upper end of the seating space 14.

The hinge 25 is provided with at least one torsion spring 29. The torsion spring 29 prevents the clamp 20 from being rotated arbitrarily, thereby maintaining the state in which the communication pad 17 is seated in the seating space 14. The clamp 20 is illustrated in the clamp 20. It gives an elastic force in the counterclockwise direction.

On the other hand, the holder 30, the insertion groove 31 is inserted into the lower end of the communication pad 17 is formed long left and right. In addition, the bottom surface of the holder 30 is provided with an insertion leg 33 penetrating the through hole 14a and positioned below the seating space 14.

The front and rear widths of the insertion leg 33 are formed relatively smaller than that of the through hole 14a. Therefore, the holder 30 can be rotated counterclockwise in the drawing about the upper end adjacent to the through hole 14a. The rotation range of the holder 30 is determined according to the difference between the front and rear widths of the through hole 14a and the insertion leg 33 and the length of the insertion leg 33.

In addition, the lower portion of the insertion leg 33 is formed to have a relatively large front and rear width than the through hole (14a). Therefore, the holder 30 is prevented from being arbitrarily detached to the outside of the seating space 14.

Referring to the process of mounting the communication pad according to the prior art configured as described above is as follows.

First, the holder 30 is rotated by a predetermined angle counterclockwise in the drawing. Then, the communication pad 17 is obliquely moved to the corresponding inclination so that the lower end of the communication pad 17 is inserted into the insertion groove 31 of the holder 30. In addition, the clamp 20 is rotated in a clockwise direction about the hinge 25. At this time, the torsion spring 29 is tensioned to impart an elastic force in the counterclockwise direction to the clamp 20 in the drawing.

Meanwhile, the communication pad 17 and the holder 30 are rotated in the clockwise direction so that the upper end thereof is seated in the seating groove 21 of the clamp 20. In this state, when the external force acting on the clamp 20 is removed, the clamp 20 is rotated counterclockwise in the drawing by the elastic force from the torsion spring 29. Therefore, the front upper end of the communication pad 17 is supported by the support end 23.

In order to mount the communication pad 17 to the door 13, the upper end of the communication pad 17 is inserted into the holder 30 while the lower end of the communication pad 17 is inserted into the holder 30. It must be rotated to settle on. In addition, in order to separate the communication pad 17 from the door 13, the reverse operation of the process of mounting the communication pad 17 should be performed. Therefore, according to the prior art, the mounting and detachment of the communication pad 17 is not easy.

In addition, in the related art, detachment of the communication pad 17 due to the clockwise rotation of the clamp 20 is prevented by the elastic force of the elastic member 29. Therefore, for example, when an external force exceeding the elastic force of the elastic member 29 is applied by an impact caused by the rotation of the door 13 or the weight of the communication pad 17, the clamp 20 moves clockwise. By rotating, the communication pad 17 can be detached from the seating space 14.
