FIG. 6 is a partially closed front view of the dispenser according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 7 is a partially opened perspective view of the dispenser according to the embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to these drawings, in a state in which the dispenser 100 is not operated, the dispenser cover 400 is maintained in a state as shown in FIG. 6 in a closed state. In this state, the dispenser 100, such as the dispensing unit 300 and the take-out button 140, is not protruded.

That is, the dispenser cover 400 is in the same plane as the front surface of the door or the front surface of the decor cover 200 in a state where the dispenser cover 400 is closed. The dispenser cover 400 includes a take-out button 140 for allowing the ice to be taken out in a state in which the opening 210 of the decor cover 200 is fully shielded and a guide part 130 for taking out the ice, So that it is stored in the housing 110.

In this state, the user operates the operation button 450 disposed on the front surface of the dispenser cover 400 to use the dispenser 100 to input operations for taking out the ice.

The driving motor is driven by the operation of the operation button 450 and the driving gear 512 coupled to the rotating shaft of the driving motor 510 is rotated. The first driven gear 442 and the second driven gear 530 engaged with the drive gear 512 rotate simultaneously with the rotation of the drive gear 512.

The rotation of the first driven gear 442 causes the hinge engagement member 440 to rotate together and the dispensing unit 300 coupled to the hinge engagement member 440 rotates. That is, the guide portion 130 and the dispenser cover 400 are rotated by the rotation of the hinge engaging member 440 according to the rotation of the first driven gear 442.

The dispensing unit 300 is rotated in a direction in which the dispenser cover 400 is opened. At this time, since the hinge engaging member 440 is coupled to the upper end of the dispenser cover 400, the dispensing unit 300 rotates about the upper hinge engaging member 440, .

The dispensing unit 300 protrudes outward from the inside of the dispenser case 110 by pivoting, and the lower end of the guide part 130, from which the ice is taken out, faces downward outward. Accordingly, the ice cubes supplied from the ice maker 30 are ready for being taken out through the guide portion 130. [

The left and right ends of the opening 210 of the decor cover 200 are brought into contact with both the left and right ends of the cover plate 410 of the dispenser cover 400 during the rotation of the dispensing unit 300. At the beginning of the rotation for opening the dispenser cover 400, both ends of the opening 210 pass through the extended portion 472 and after passing the extended portion 472, 474).

When the left and right ends of the opening 210 pass through the extended portion 472, there is almost no gap between the left and right ends of the opening 210 and the extended portion 472, And is rotated while maintaining a very close gap.

As the left and right ends of the opening 210 are folded into the inclined portion 474, the gap between the left and right ends of the opening 210 gradually increases and the interference due to contact with the dispenser cover 400 So that the dispenser cover 400 can be opened naturally.

Meanwhile, when the dispensing unit 300 protrudes, the take-out button 140 also protrudes forward. The sliding lever 540 extending from the second driven gear 530 rotates when the second driven gear 530 rotates so that the button guide 144 connected to the sliding lever 540 Is projected forward. Further, the take-out button 140 housed in the button guide portion 144 protrudes forward as the button guide portion 144 protrudes forward.

That is, by driving the driving motor 510, the dispensing unit 300 and the button unit 142 are projected forward to prepare for taking out the ice, and the waiting state is maintained as shown in FIG. 7 .

In this state, when the user presses the take-out button 140 to take out the ice, the button portion 142 moves backward and pushes a switch (not shown) to transmit a take-out signal of ice.

Accordingly, the solenoid valve 124 operates to allow the opening / closing member 122 to be opened. At the same time, ice is supplied from the ice maker 30, and the ice that has passed through the conveying unit 120 is discharged to the outside through the guide unit 130.

At this time, since the user places the cup or the container below the guide part 130, the ice enters the container. Then, the user can know the state of taking out the bottom of the dispenser cover (400) through the status check window (460) of the dispenser cover (400).

On the other hand, in the operation for taking out the ice, the user presses the cup or the container itself while keeping the cup or the container in contact with the button portion 142 by using the cup or the container. By the operation of the button portion 142, the user can take out the ice.

After completing the extraction of the ice, the user again closes the dispensing unit 300 and the button unit 142. There are two methods of closing the dispenser cover 400.

As a first method, when the button disposed on the front surface of the dispenser cover 400 is operated, the driving motor 510 of the driving unit 500 is rotated. The driving gear 512 mounted on the rotating shaft of the driving motor 510 is rotated and the first driven gear 442 and the second driven gear 530 engaged with the driving gear 512 rotate.

The dispenser cover 400 is rotated in the reverse direction when the dispenser cover 400 itself is pressed in the opened and protruded state by the second method and the guide part 130 integrally coupled with the dispenser 100 is rotated, It is also possible to rotate together.

The driving gear 512 mounted on the rotary shaft of the driving motor 510 is rotated and the first driven gear 442 and the second driven gear 530 engaged with the driving gear 512 rotate .

The hinge engaging member 440 is rotated by the rotation of the first driven gear 442 by the above two methods so that the dispensing unit 300 is rotated inward of the dispenser case 110 . Accordingly, the dispenser cover 400 is gradually closed, and finally, the opening 210 of the decor cover 200 is completely covered.

When the dispenser cover 400 rotates in a direction to close the dispenser cover 400, the inclined portions 474 of the left and right sides of the cover plate 410 pass through the left and right sides of the opening 210, And gradually inserted inward.

At this time, since the inclined portion 474 is inclined inward, the left and right side ends of the opening 210 are separated from each other. As the dispenser cover 400 is rotated and closed, And the left and right ends of the opening 210 gradually become closer to each other.

When the dispenser cover 400 continuously rotates and both left and right ends of the opening 210 reach the extended portion 472, the left and right ends of the opening 210 and the extension portion 472, that is, The left and right side ends of the cover 400 are brought into a state of being almost in contact with each other.

In this state, the dispenser cover 400 further passes through the extension portion 472 while rotating. When the dispenser cover 400 is completely closed, the left and right ends of the dispenser cover 400 are in substantially contact with the left and right ends of the opening 210, and no gap is generated between them.

The lower end of the dispenser cover 400 should be in contact with the stopper 230 or the stepped portion 240 in order for the dispenser cover 400 to be completely closed. That is, the dispenser cover 400 is rotated to block the opening 210, and the back surface of the dispenser cover 400 is stopped at a portion where the rear surface of the dispenser cover 400 contacts the stopper 230 or the stepped portion 240.

The stopper 230 is positioned behind the dispenser cover 400 so that when the dispenser cover 400 is stopped by the stopper 230, ) Or on the same plane as the front surface of the door (20).

Accordingly, when the dispenser cover 400 is closed before or after the use of the dispenser 100, the entire front surface of the door 20 can have the same plane without being protruded outward.

The button unit 142 is inserted into the dispenser case 110 as soon as the dispensing unit 300 is housed in the dispenser case 110 by rotation.

More specifically, when the second driven gear 530 engaged with the driving gear 512 rotates, the sliding lever 540 provided on the second driven gear 530 rotates, and the sliding lever 540 rotates, The button guide 144 is moved rearward in accordance with the rotation of the sliding lever 540.

Therefore, when the dispensing unit 300 is received inside the dispenser case 110 after the dispenser 100 is used, the dispensing button 140 is stored inside the dispenser case 110 at the same time.

The dispenser cover 400 covers the entire interior of the dispenser cover 400 by shielding the opening 210. At this time, the dispenser cover 400 covers the left and right sides of the opening 210, And is placed on the same plane as the front surface of the door 20 and the decor cover 200 to wait for an operation for taking out ice.
