Hereinafter, the operation of the installation structure of the air cleaner for a refrigerator according to the present invention having the configuration as described above will be described in detail.

As shown in FIG. 7, when the center of the upper surface of the main body 50 protrudes, that is, when there is a full stomach phenomenon, the filter case 70 among the coupling pins P provided on the upper surface of the main body 50. The coupling pin (P) corresponding to the seating portion 72 of the) is released so as to protrude relatively more than the coupling pin (P) corresponding to the seating portion 56 of the blower case (54). That is, when screwing the body (Pb) of the coupling pin (P) formed on the outer surface to the upper surface of the refrigerator body 50, the height can be adjusted, by using this coupling corresponding to the seating portion 72 Install by rotating the pin (P) to be relatively more protruding.

In addition, the mounting bracket 100 is fixed to the seating portions 56 and 72. The case 52 having the mounting bracket 100 installed on the seating portions 56 and 72 is installed on the upper surface of the main body 50. In more detail, when the air purifier 51 is placed on the upper surface of the main body 50 to be installed, the head Ph of the coupling pin P passes through the hole 104a of the mounting bracket 100. Penetrates.

At this time, the coupling pin (P) penetrating through the through hole (104a) of the mounting bracket 100 installed in the blower case 54 so that only the head (Ph) is inserted, the mounting bracket (installed in the filter case 70 ( 100 is positioned between the head Ph and the washer S.

Then, when pulling the case 52 to the front of the main body 50, the body (Pb) of the coupling pin (P) is moved along the coupling slit (104b) of the mounting bracket 100, The coupling part 104 is coupled to the upper surface of the main body 50 by the elasticity of the head Ph pressing the coupling part 104 of the mounting bracket 100.

When the case 52 is fixed to the upper surface of the main body 50, the head Ph of the coupling pin P fixed to the mounting bracket 100 of the filter case 70 passes through the filter case 74. It is exposed to the top of 70. The user fixes the air cleaner 51 by appropriately tightening the coupling pin P. Then, the filter unit 80 is installed in the filter case 70.

Next, when the user operates and operates the air cleaner 51, the decoration panel 62 is moved to the front of the case 52 by an interlocking member (not shown) so that the discharge port O is opened. .

In addition, the blower unit 90 is operated to suck air into the case 52 through the suction port I. The air sucked through the suction port I is purified by passing through the filter unit 80 in a state in which a relatively large dust or the like is filtered out of the foreign matter in the air by the strainer of the suction grill G.

Thus, the air purified while passing through the filter unit 80 is guided to the blowing unit 90 by the suction flow path (A).

In addition, the air introduced into the blower unit 90 by the continuous driving of the blower unit 90 is discharged to the front of the blower unit 90, and guided by the discharge passage B again to discharge the air outlet O It is discharged to outside through). At this time, the air discharged through the discharge port (O) is discharged together with the negative ions generated by the negative ion generating device 96, is guided by the back surface of the decorative panel 62 is discharged through the upper or lower.

It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but is capable of many modifications and alterations, all of which are within the scope of the appended claims. It is self-evident.

For example, in the present embodiment, the through hole 74 is formed only in the seating portion 72 of the filter case 70 corresponding to the coupling pin P on both sides of the rear end of the main body 50. A hole may also be formed in the seating portion 56 of 54.

In the installation structure of the refrigerator air cleaner according to the present invention as described in detail above, the following effects can be expected.

By allowing the coupling pins to fix the air cleaner to the upper surface of the refrigerator body to be moved vertically, the top surface of the refrigerator body may be filled, so that the air cleaner can be easily installed even when the plane is not flat. It has the effect of increasing work convenience.
