Description

얼음정수기의 저빙고{The ice storage for ice maker}The ice storage for ice maker

본 발명은 저빙고(貯氷庫,얼음저장고,이하, 저빙고라 함)와,정수조(淨水槽,정수된 물이 공급되는 수조) 및 냉수 조절수조(調節水槽,공급정수로서 얼음과 접촉하도록 그 수위를 일정하게 유지하는 수조, 이하 조절조라 함)가 제빙유닛(냉매순환되는 증발관과 증발관의 침지부가 물에 침지되는 물접시 일체의 구조)이 저부함체(Housing,[低部函體])에 일체로 집합된 얼음정수기의 저빙고에 관한 것으로, 특히, 얼음을 이용하여 냉수를 출수하는 저빙고의 구조를 개선한 얼음정수기의 저빙고에 관한 것이다. The present invention is to contact the ice as a reservoir (저, ice storage, hereinafter referred to as "storage reservoir"), a water tank (淨水 수, a water tank supplied with purified water) and a cold water control tank (공급 水槽, supply water) A water tank that maintains a constant water level, hereinafter referred to as a control tank, is provided with an ice making unit (an integral structure of the evaporating tube in which the refrigerant is circulated and the water plate in which the immersion portion of the evaporating tube is immersed in water). It relates to the ice storage of the ice water purifier integrated in the]), and more particularly, to the ice water storage of the ice water purifier with improved structure of the storage of ice cold water using ice.

종래 알려진 얼음정수기의 제빙기들의 구조는 공통적으로 제빙유닛(이하에서는 증발관과 물접시 결합체를 제빙유닛이라 함)과,이 제빙유닛의 하부에 설치되는 얼음저장고(이하 저빙고라 함)와, 냉수를 공급하기 위한 냉수조를 구비한 것이 알려져 있다. The structure of ice makers of the known ice water purifier is commonly known as an ice making unit (hereinafter referred to as an evaporation tube and a water dish combination), an ice storage unit (hereinafter referred to as a reservoir) and cold water installed below the ice making unit. It is known to have a cold water tank for supplying water.

즉, 냉수를 공급하기 위하여 얼음과 정수가 얼음의 일부에 접촉하도록 형성되어 냉수가 출수되도록 한 얼음 저장구조(첨부 도면중 도 1a 참조)와, 냉수가 공급되도록 정수조속에 얼음을 낙하시키는 구조의 냉수공급구조(첨부 도면중 도 1b구조 참조)들이 알려져 있다. That is, the ice storage structure (see Fig. 1a in the accompanying drawings) is formed so that the ice and purified water to contact a portion of the ice in order to supply the cold water, and the structure to drop the ice in the water purification tank so that the cold water is supplied Cold water supply structures (see FIG. 1B in the accompanying drawings) are known.

그러나, 이러한 얼음과 정수 및 냉수를 공급하기 위한 얼음정수기, 혹은 제빙기의 구조는 얼음저장공간, 냉수공급수조, 정수조를 동시에 구현하기 위하여 소정의 저빙함체내에 이들을 배치 설계함이 어려워 대부분 정수조는 상부에 설치하고, 얼음저장공간은 하부에 설치하며, 냉수를 공급하기 위히여 이 얼음의 일부를 분할된 냉수조에 접촉시키거나, 냉수조를 별도 형성한 저빙함체 형태들이어서 얼음취출을 위한 저빙함체의 구성이 불편하였거, 냉수탱크에 대한 정수의 공급구조가 상부에 있어 정수조로 부터 정수를 공급하도록 별도 파이프라인을 연결하는 구조로 이루어져 파이프 연결구조가 복잡하게 배치설계되었고, 특히, 얼음과 냉수조가 제2차단벽으로 차단되어 별도의 그릴형태의 접촉구조를 구현하여야 얼음저장고는 예컨대, 얼음정수기 등에 구비된 제빙기에 인접하게 구비되어 제빙기에서 만들어진 얼음이 저장되는 곳이다.따라서, 얼음저장고에는 얼음이 저장되는 저장공간이 구비되어 있다. 그리고, 이와 같이 얼음저장고의 저장공간에 저장된 얼음은 얼음저장고에 구비된 얼음이송부재에 의해서 얼음저장고의 외부로 배출되어 사용자에게 공급된다. 따라서 종래에는 얼음저장고에는 전술한 얼음저장고에 구비된 저장공간 이외에 얼음이 저장될 수 있는 별도의 저장공간이 없다는 문제점이 있었다. 따라서 얼음저장공간과 구별되더라도 자연스럽게 얼음에 접촉되는 얼음저장고(이하 저빙고라 함)가 필요로 되었다. However, since the structure of the ice water purifier or ice maker for supplying ice and purified water and cold water is difficult to design them in a predetermined storage enclosure to simultaneously implement an ice storage space, a cold water supply water tank, and a water purification tank, most water purification tanks It is installed in the upper part, and the ice storage space is installed in the lower part, and contacting a part of this ice to the divided cold water tank to supply cold water, or it is a storage enclosure type for forming the cold water tank. The structure of the pipe was inconvenient, and the structure of the pipe connection was complicatedly designed by connecting the separate pipelines to supply the purified water from the water treatment tank because the supply structure of the purified water for the cold water tank was on the upper part. The jaw must be blocked by the second barrier wall to implement a separate grille-type contact structure. Is provided adjacent to the ice maker equipped with the ice made in the ice maker is where the store. So, ice bin is provided with a storage space in which ice is stored. In this way, the ice stored in the ice storage space is discharged to the outside of the ice storage by the ice transfer member provided in the ice storage and supplied to the user. Therefore, in the related art, there is a problem in the ice storage that there is no separate storage space in which ice may be stored in addition to the storage space provided in the aforementioned ice storage. Therefore, even if it is distinguished from the ice storage space, an ice reservoir (hereinafter referred to as a reservoir) that is naturally in contact with the ice is required.

A cross section showing the process.

본 발명의 제빙기 저빙고는 도면에서 도시하는 바와 같이 저빙공간(21)바닥측에 냉수조절조(22)로 부터 공급된 정수가 저빙공간(21)의 바닥측에서 연통되므로 일정한 높이로 저빙된 얼음과 접촉하여 냉각되는 작용을 갖는다. 저빙공간(21)의 수위와 냉수조절조(22)의 수위는 일치하며, 바닥측 냉수조(211)을 통하여 냉수출수구(214)로 출수되도록 형성되며, 바람직하게는 냉수조(211)위에 얼음필터(212)를 설치함도 가능하며, 반드시 필요한 것은 아니다. As shown in the drawing, the ice maker ice storage of the present invention has ice stored at a constant height because the purified water supplied from the cold water control tank 22 communicates with the bottom of the storage space 21 at the bottom of the storage space 21. It has a function to cool in contact with. The water level of the storage space 21 and the water level of the cold water control tank 22 coincide with each other, and are formed to be discharged to the cold water outlet 214 through the bottom side cold water tank 211, and preferably on the cold water tank 211. It is also possible to install the filter 212, but it is not necessary.

상기 도면들에서 도시하는 바와 같이 정수조(23)로 급수되기 위한 제1급수관(245)이 상부로 부터 연결되며, 정수급수밸브(244)로서 정수가 개폐제어되고, 제2급수관(246)은 제빙수급수밸브(243)로서 개폐,제어되며, 원수급수관(241)으로 부터 정수필터(242)를 거쳐 분기하여 연결되므로써 급수 제어라인(24)을 이룬다. As shown in the drawings, the first water supply pipe 245 for supplying water to the water purification tank 23 is connected from the top, and the purified water is opened and closed as the purified water supply valve 244, and the second water supply pipe 246 is It is opened and closed as an ice making water supply valve 243, and is branched from the raw water supply pipe 241 through the water filter 242 to form a water supply control line 24.

정수조(23) 바닥으로는 정수출수구(233)와의 사이에 정수출수밸브(234)를 거쳐 출수라인을 형성하고,정수수위센서(247)로서 정수량을 검출하여 정수량이 부족하면 정수급수밸브(244)를 턴온시켜 공급토록하고, 오버훌로우되면 정수수위센서(247)로서 정수급수밸브(244)를 턴오프시켜 공급을 정지토록 한다.At the bottom of the water purification tank 23, a water discharge line is formed between the water purification outlet 233 and the water discharge valve 234, and the water level is detected by the water level sensor 247. ) Is turned on to supply, and when overflowed, the purified water feed valve 244 is turned off as the purified water level sensor 247 to stop the supply.

또한, 이러한 정수량의 개폐작동은 냉수출수밸브(218)을 개방하여 냉수가 냉수출수구(214)에서 출수되고나면 냉수수위센서(248)로 부터 검출된 냉수위 하락을 검출하여 검출신호로서 정수급수밸브(244)를 턴온시켜 정수조(23)에 공급토록 하며, 조절홈(232)를 통하여 정수가 소정시간 오버하여 흐르도록 한다(overflow). 냉수위가 상승할 경우에는 배수관(221)을 통하여 넘쳐 흐르도록 제어한다. 이러한 정수와 냉수의 공급,차단은 정수의 제어라인(24)이 냉수수위센서(248)와,정수수위센서(247)들로 부터 신호가 입력되면 개폐되는 밸브구조로 이루어지고, 구체적인 개폐작동의 세밀한 출수시간 제어는 그 설명을 생략하며, 일반적인 제어수단을 적용한다. In addition, the open / close operation of the purified water amount opens the cold water discharge valve 218 and, after the cold water is discharged from the cold water outlet 214, detects a decrease in the cold water level detected by the cold water level sensor 248 to detect the purified water supply valve as a detection signal. 244 is turned on to be supplied to the purified water tank 23, and the purified water flows over the predetermined time through the adjusting groove 232 (overflow). When the cold water level rises, it is controlled to overflow through the drain pipe 221. The supply and blockage of the purified water and cold water are made of a valve structure in which the control line 24 of the purified water is opened and closed when a signal is input from the cold water level sensor 248 and the purified water level sensor 247. Detailed discharge time control is omitted, and general control means are applied.
