냉장고의 물통 장착구조{STRUCTURE FOR FIXED WATER TANK IN REFRIGERATOR}Refrigerator bucket mounting structure {STRUCTURE FOR FIXED WATER TANK IN REFRIGERATOR}

본 발명은 냉장고의 물통 장착구조에 관한 것으로서, 냉장고의 내부에 장착되는 디스팬서용 물통의 장착구조를 개선하여 제작공정은 단순화시킨 냉장고의 물통 장착구조에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a bucket mounting structure of a refrigerator. The present invention relates to a bucket mounting structure of a refrigerator by improving a mounting structure of a bucket for a dispenser mounted inside a refrigerator, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process.

일반적으로 급수기(water dispenser) 또는 음료 분배기(beverage dispenser)는 식수 또는 음료를 자동으로 분배하는 장치이며, 가정이나 사무실 및 또는 공공 장소에 설치되어 가정용 또는 상업용으로 이용된다.In general, a water dispenser or a beverage dispenser is a device for automatically dispensing drinking water or beverages, and is used in homes, offices, and / or public places to be used for home or commercial purposes.

최근에는 냉장고에 설치되어 물을 공급하는 디스팬서가 제시되며, 상기 냉장고는 다양한 식료품을 냉동 또는 냉장 상태로 오랜 기간동안 신선한 상태를 유지하면서 저장하는 장치로서, 음식을 저장하는 저장실을 구비한다.Recently, a dispenser installed in a refrigerator to supply water is provided, and the refrigerator is a device for storing various food items in a fresh state for a long time in a frozen or refrigerated state, and includes a storage room for storing food.

상기 저장실은 음식물을 냉동 상태로 저장하는 냉동실과 냉장 상태로 저장하는 냉장실을 구비한다. 상기 냉동실 및 냉장실에는 증발기에 의해 발생된 냉기가 각각 공급되고, 상기 냉기는 팬에 의해 증발기로부터 상기 냉동실 내부로 직접 공급되고, 일부 냉기는 내부에 형성되는 덕트를 통하여 유동하면서 온도가 상승한 상태에서 상기 냉장실 내부로 공급된다. 상기 냉동실 및 냉장실은 전면에 도어가 설치되어 내부의 음식물을 안착 및 인출할 수 있다.The storage compartment includes a freezer compartment for storing food in a frozen state and a refrigerating compartment for storing food in a refrigerated state. Cool air generated by an evaporator is respectively supplied to the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment, and the cold air is supplied directly from the evaporator to the inside of the freezer compartment by a fan, and some of the cold air flows through a duct formed therein while the temperature is raised. It is fed into the fridge. The freezing compartment and the refrigerating compartment may be provided with a door at the front thereof to seat and withdraw food therein.

또한, 상기 냉장실 내부에는 식수가 저장된다. 상기 식수는 물통에 충전된 상태로 상기 냉장실 내부에 저장된다. 상기 냉장실에 저장되는 식수를 마시기 위해서는 도어를 열고 식수가 담겨진 물통 냉장실로부터 꺼내어야 한다. 그러나, 냉장고의 도어가 자주 개방되면 냉장고의 냉각 효율이 저하된다.In addition, drinking water is stored in the refrigerating chamber. The drinking water is stored inside the refrigerating chamber in a state filled with a bucket. In order to drink the drinking water stored in the refrigerating compartment, the door must be opened and taken out of the bucket refrigerating compartment containing the drinking water. However, if the door of the refrigerator is frequently opened, the cooling efficiency of the refrigerator is lowered.

최근에는 상기의 단점을 해결하기 위하여 냉장실의 도어를 개방하지 않고도 냉장실 내부의 식수를 인출할 수 있는 냉장고의 디스팬서가 제시된다.Recently, in order to solve the above disadvantages, a dispenser of a refrigerator capable of withdrawing drinking water inside the refrigerator compartment without opening the door of the refrigerator compartment has been proposed.
