Description
본 발명은 냉장고의 얼음인출장치에 관한 것으로써, 특히 냉동실에 마련된 자동제빙기에 의해 생성된 얼음을 인출시에 냉장고 도어를 개방시키지 않고도 얼음(ice)의 인출이 용이하여 냉기의 손실을 방지하고 얼음의 사용이 편리하도록 그 구조가 개선된 냉장고의 얼음인출장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an apparatus for taking ice out of a refrigerator, and in particular, it is possible to easily extract ice without opening the refrigerator door when taking out ice generated by an automatic ice maker provided in a freezer compartment, thereby preventing loss of cold air and The present invention relates to an ice extractor of a refrigerator having an improved structure to facilitate its use.
일반적으로 냉장고의 얼음인출장치는 제빙기에서 생성되는 얼음(ice)을 인출시에는 냉장고 도어를 열고 얼음 저장고로부터 얼음을 인출하게 되는 구조로써, 얼음의 인출시에 도어의 개방시간이 길어서 냉기의 유출량이 증가되어 냉장고의 냉각 효율을 저하시킬 뿐만 아니라, 압축기모터 등의 작동이 빈번하게 되어 전력소비가 증가되는 등의 경제적 손실을 야기시키는 문제점이 있다.Generally, the ice extractor of the refrigerator has a structure in which the refrigerator door is opened and the ice is extracted from the ice storage when the ice generated by the ice maker is taken out. In addition, the cooling efficiency of the refrigerator is increased, as well as the operation of the compressor motor is frequently caused, resulting in an economic loss such as increased power consumption.
또한 얼음을 사용할 때마다 도어를 사용하게 되면 도어의 개폐회수가 증가되어 도어의 처짐 및 가스켓의 변형을 촉진시키게 되어 냉장고의 수명을 단축시키는 요인이 된다.In addition, the use of the door every time the ice is used to increase the number of opening and closing of the door to promote the deflection of the door and the deformation of the gasket to reduce the life of the refrigerator.
이러한 문제점을 감안하여 보다 사용이 편리하도록 작동되는 냉장고의 얼음인출장치가 상용화되어 있는데, 이는 도어를 개방시키지 않고도 얼음을 인출할 수 있는 종래 냉장고의 얼음인출장치가 도1에 도시되어 있다.In view of such a problem, the ice extractor of the refrigerator, which is operated to be more convenient to use, has been commercialized. The ice extractor of the conventional refrigerator, which can extract ice without opening the door, is illustrated in FIG. 1.
상기 냉장고의 얼음인출장치는 도1을 참조하면, 자동제빙기에 의해 생성된 얼음이 일시 저장되는 얼음저장고(10)와, 얼음저장고(10)에서 얼음을 꺼내기 위해 얼음저장고의 일측에 설치된 도어(20)와, 얼음저장고(10)내에 힌지(30)에 의해 회전가능하게 결합되어 도어(20)와 함께 개폐되는 얼음차폐판(40)이 구비되어 이루어진다.Referring to FIG. 1, the ice extractor of the refrigerator includes an ice reservoir 10 in which ice generated by an automatic ice maker is temporarily stored, and a door 20 installed at one side of the ice reservoir to remove ice from the ice reservoir 10. And an ice shield plate 40 rotatably coupled by the hinge 30 in the ice reservoir 10 to open and close together with the door 20.
상기와 같이 구성된 종래 냉장고의 얼음인출장치는 도어(20)가 닫혀진 상태에서 도어(20)에 설치된 손잡이(21)를 잡고 도어를 전방으로 당겨주면 도어(20)가 열림과 동시에 도어의 후방에 위치된 얼음차폐판(40)이 열림방향으로 회전하여 얼음저장고(10)내에 일시 저장되어 있는 얼음을 소정량 꺼낼 수 있게 되며, 얼음을 꺼낸후 도어(20)를 닫으면 얼음차폐판도 닫힘방향으로 회전한다.The ice extractor of the conventional refrigerator configured as described above is located behind the door at the same time as the door 20 is opened by pulling the door forward while holding the handle 21 installed on the door 20 while the door 20 is closed. The ice shield plate 40 rotates in the open direction to take out a predetermined amount of ice temporarily stored in the ice reservoir 10, and when the door 20 is closed after removing the ice, the ice shield plate also rotates in the closing direction. .
또한 상기 구조에서 얼음차폐판(40)은 도어(20)를 열때 얼음저장고(10)내에 가득찬 얼음이 얼음저장고(10)의 바깥쪽으로 흘러나오는 것을 방지하는 역할을 한다.In addition, in the structure, the ice shield plate 40 serves to prevent the ice filled in the ice reservoir 10 from flowing outward of the ice reservoir 10 when the door 20 is opened.
그러나, 상기와 같은 종래 냉장고의 얼음인출장치는 얼음차폐판(40)의 양측면판에 형성된 힌지(30)를 얼음저장고(10)의 힌지홈에 결합되는 단순한 구조에 의해 얼음차페판(40)을 얼음저장고(10)내에 회전가능하도록 설치되였기 때문에, 얼음저장고(10)의 측벽과 얼음차폐판(40)의 측면판 사이에 얼음이 끼어 얼음차폐판(40)의 회전을 방해하게 되므로 도어(20)의 개폐가 원활하지 못하게 되는 문제점이 있다.However, the ice extractor of the conventional refrigerator as described above, the ice barrier plate 40 by a simple structure in which the hinges 30 formed on both side plates of the ice shield plate 40 are coupled to the hinge grooves of the ice storage 10. Since it is rotatably installed in the ice reservoir 10, the ice is caught between the side wall of the ice reservoir 10 and the side plate of the ice shield plate 40, thereby preventing the rotation of the ice shield plate 40, so that the door ( 20) there is a problem that opening and closing is not smooth.
또한 도어 손잡이(21)를 잡고 도어(20)를 개방시킨 다음 얼음저장고(10)에 손을 집어넣어서 필요한 양의 얼음을 소량씩 인출하여야 하기 때문에 많은 양의 얼음을 인출하고자 할 때는 불편하며 많은 시간이 소요된다.In addition, grab the door handle 21, open the door 20, and then put a hand into the ice storage 10 to draw out the required amount of ice by a small amount, so it is inconvenient when you want to withdraw a large amount of ice This takes
또한 도어(20)의 개폐에 따른 냉기의 유출량이 증가되므로 냉각효율을 저하시키게 되고 압축기모터 등의 작동이 빈번하게 되어 전력손실이 증가되는 문제점이 있다.In addition, since the outflow amount of the cold air increases due to the opening and closing of the door 20, the cooling efficiency is lowered, and the operation of the compressor motor, etc. is frequently performed, thereby increasing power loss.
또한 도어(20)의 개방시간이 길어질수록 얼음이 녹아서 상호 엉키게 되므로 얼음을 낟개로 인출하기가 어려우며, 상호 엉킨 얼음을 곧바로 사용하기에는 불편하다는 문제점이 있다.In addition, the longer the opening time of the door 20 is entangled with each other as the ice melts, so it is difficult to draw the ice into the wok, and there is a problem that it is inconvenient to use the tangled ice immediately.
본 발명은 상기와 같은 제반 문제점을 해결하기 위해 안출된 것으로써, 다음과 같은 목적을 갖는다.The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and has the following object.
첫째, 냉장고 도어를 개방시키지 않고도 얼음의 인출이 가능하여 얼음의 인출시간이 단축되고 냉기의 손실이 방지되도록 그 구조가 개선된 냉장고의 얼음인출장치를 제공하는 데 그 목적이 있다.First, the object of the present invention is to provide an ice extractor of a refrigerator having an improved structure such that ice can be withdrawn without opening the refrigerator door, thereby reducing ice extraction time and preventing loss of cold air.
둘째, 얼음인출도어의 상단부와 하단부가 연통되도록 출입구를 형성하여서, 얼음인출도어를 미세한 각도로 개방시켜도 얼음이 얼음인출도어의 출입구를 통해 냉장고의 하방으로 인출되는 구조로써, 냉기의 유출량이 감소되므로 냉장고의 냉각 효율이 향상될 뿐만 아니라, 압축기모터 등의 작동시간이 단축되어 전력소비가 절감되도록 그 구조가 개선된 냉장고의 얼음인출장치를 제공하는 데 있다.Second, by forming an entrance so that the upper and lower ends of the ice extraction door communicate with each other, even if the ice extraction door is opened at a fine angle, the ice is drawn out to the lower side of the refrigerator through the entrance of the ice extraction door. In addition to improving the cooling efficiency of the refrigerator, the operation time of the compressor motor, etc. is shortened to provide an ice extractor of the refrigerator having an improved structure to reduce power consumption.
셋째, 얼음인출도어를 개방시에도 얼음이 일시 저장되는 얼음저장통이 외기에 노출되지 않는 구조로 형성되기 때문에 얼음이 녹아서 상호 융착되는 현상이 방지되어 낟개의 얼음을 인출시에도 그 사용이 편리하도록 그 구조가 개선된 냉장고의 얼음인출장치를 제공하는 데 그 목적이 있다.Third, since the ice storage container where the ice is temporarily stored even when the ice extraction door is opened is formed in a structure that is not exposed to the outside air, the ice melts and prevents mutual fusion, so that it is convenient to use even when the ice is taken out.

상기와 같이 구성된 본 발명 냉장고의 얼음인출장치는 얼음인출도어(600)의 개방각도에 따라 얼음(ice;300)의 인출량 제어가 가능하도록 작동된다.The ice extracting device of the refrigerator of the present invention configured as described above is operated to enable the amount of ice (ice) 300 to be controlled according to the opening angle of the ice extracting door 600.
그리고 얼음인출도어의 출입구(620,630)를 통해 얼음(300)이 고외로 자동인출되는 구조로써 소정의 얼음그룻을 얼음인출도어(600)의 출구(630) 근접위치에 구비한 상태에서 얼음인출도어(600)를 소정각도 개방시키면 얼음그릇(700)으로 얼음이 수납되도록 작동된다.And with the structure that the ice 300 is automatically taken out to the outside through the entrance (620, 630) of the ice extraction door, the ice extraction door (with a predetermined ice grout at the position near the exit 630 of the ice extraction door 600) Opening the predetermined angle 600 is operated to accommodate the ice in the ice bowl 700.

상기와 같이 구성된 본 발명에 따른 냉장고의 얼음인출장치는 다음과 같은 이점을 가진다.Ice extractor of the refrigerator according to the present invention configured as described above has the following advantages.
첫째, 냉장고 도어(110)를 개방시키지 않고도 얼음(300)의 인출이 가능하여 얼음의 인출시간이 단축되므로 냉기의 손실이 방지되는 효과를 갖는다.First, the withdrawal of the ice 300 is possible without opening the refrigerator door 110, so that the withdrawal time of the ice is shortened, thereby preventing the loss of cold air.
둘째, 얼음인출도어(600)의 상단부와 하단부가 연통되도록 출입구(620,630)를 형성하여서 얼음인출도어(600)를 미세한 각도로 개방시켜도 얼음이 얼음인출도어의 출입구(620,630)를 통해 냉장고의 하방으로 인출되도록 된 구조로써, 냉기의 유출량이 감소되므로 냉장고의 냉각 효율이 향상될 뿐만 아니라, 압축기모터 등의 작동이 감소되어 전력소비로인한 경제적 손실이 감소되는 효과를 가진다.Second, the doors 620 and 630 are formed so that the upper and lower ends of the ice drawer door 600 communicate with each other, so that the ice is directed downward through the doors 620 and 630 of the ice drawer door even when the ice drawer door 600 is opened at a fine angle. With the structure to be drawn out, since the flow rate of the cold air is reduced, not only the cooling efficiency of the refrigerator is improved, but also the operation of the compressor motor is reduced, thereby reducing the economic loss due to power consumption.
셋째, 얼음인출도어(600)를 개방시에도 얼음(300)이 일시 저장되는 얼음저장통(400)이 외기에 노출되지 않는 구조로 형성되기 때문에 얼음이 녹아서 상호 융착되는 현상이 방지되며, 얼음인출도어(600)의 개방각도의 조절이 가능하여 낟개의 얼음을 인출시에도 그 사용이 편리하다.Third, since the ice storage container 400 temporarily storing the ice 300 even when the ice extraction door 600 is opened is formed in a structure that is not exposed to outside air, melting of the ice is prevented from being fused to each other, and the ice extraction door is prevented. It is possible to adjust the opening angle of (600), so it is convenient to use even when the ice is taken out.
