Description

잔수 배출수단을 갖는 냉장고 디스펜서{A DISPENSER FOR REFRIGERATORS WITH MEANS FOR DISCHARGING REMAMINING WATER}Refrigerator dispenser with residual water discharge means {A DISPENSER FOR REFRIGERATORS WITH MEANS FOR DISCHARGING REMAMINING WATER}

본 고안은 냉장고 디스펜서에 관한 것으로, 특히 음용수 공급용 디스펜서에서 사용자가 남는 물을 버리는 잔수를 집수통에서 넘치지 않게 증발명으로 자동 배출하도록 하는 배출수단을 갖는 냉장고 디스펜서에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a refrigerator dispenser, and more particularly, to a refrigerator dispenser having a discharge means for automatically discharging the remaining water discarded by the user in the dispenser for drinking water to the evaporation name without overflowing from the sump.

일반적으로 냉장고는 도 1과 도 2에 도시된 바와같이 대형화, 고급화 추세에 따라 사용자에게 간편하게 냉각된 물 또는 따뜻한 물을 공급할 수 있도록 하는 디스펜서(1)가 제공된다. 사용자는 디스펜서로부터의 물을 컵에 담아 음용한 다음 남는 물을 디스펜서 바닥부에 마련된 집수통(2)에 버리도록 되어 있다.In general, the refrigerator is provided with a dispenser (1) that can easily supply the cooled or warm water to the user according to the trend of enlargement, high-quality, as shown in Figs. The user is to drink the water from the dispenser in a cup for drinking and then discard the remaining water in the sump 2 provided at the bottom of the dispenser.

그러나, 디스펜서 바닥부에 마련된 집수통(2)은 그 용량이 제한되고 작아서 집수통에 잔수가 채워지면 넘치게 되어 주변을 더럽히게 되므로 집수통을 자주 비워야 하는 불편함이 있었다. 그리고, 집수통의 용량을 증가시키는 것은 집수통이 냉장고 도어에 내장되는 구조로 설치되기 때문에 많은 공간적인 제약이 따르므로 집수통의 용량을 증가시키기 어려우며, 근본적으로 집수통을 자주 비워야 하는 불편함은 여전히 남게 된다.However, the sump (2) provided in the bottom of the dispenser is limited in capacity and small, so that when the residual water is filled in the sump overflows and dirty the surroundings, there was an inconvenience of having to empty the sump frequently. In addition, increasing the capacity of the sump can be difficult to increase the capacity of the sump, since the sump is installed in a structure that is built in the refrigerator door, it is difficult to increase the capacity of the sump. It still remains.

따라서, 본 고안은 상술한 종래 냉장고의 디스펜서에서 잔수의 처리를 위하여 집수통에 일정 량의 잔수가 채워지면 집수통을 비워야 하는 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 안출된 것으로, 집수통에 잔수가 일정량 채워지면 자동적으로 집수통에서증발명으로 잔수를 배수시키도록 된 디스펜서의 제공을 목적으로 한다.Therefore, the present invention was devised to solve the problem of emptying the sump when a certain amount of water is filled in the sump for the processing of the residual water in the dispenser of the conventional refrigerator described above. To provide a dispenser for draining the residual water from the sump by evaporation.

상기한 목적을 달성하기 위하여 본 고안에 따라 냉장고 디스펜서의 바닥에 제공된 집수통의 저면으로부터 하단부가 냉장고 하부에 제공된 증발명에 배치된 배수용 호스를 도어에 내장하여 설치하고, 상기 호스의 상부에는 집수통에 수집된 잔수를 체크하기 위한 센서와 솔레노이드 밸브를 설치하여 센서에 의해 체크된 잔수량이 미리 정해진 량을 넘는 경우 솔레노이드 밸브를 개방시켜 호스를 통해 잔수가 증발명으로 자동적으로 배수되게 구성된 잔수 배출수단을 갖는 것을 특징으로 냉장고 디스펜서가 제공된다.In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention from the bottom of the sump provided in the bottom of the refrigerator dispenser is installed in the door to the drain hose disposed in the evaporation name provided in the lower part of the refrigerator in the lower door, the house at the top of the hose Install a sensor and solenoid valve to check the residual water collected in the water bottle.If the residual water checked by the sensor exceeds the predetermined amount, open the solenoid valve to discharge the residual water configured to drain the water automatically through the hose. A refrigerator dispenser is provided which has means.

이하에서는 본 고안의 실시예를 도시한 첨부 도면을 참고하여 본 고안을 보다 상세히 설명하기로 한다.Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings showing an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail the present invention.

도 3에는 디스펜서(10) 바닥부에 집수통(11)이 냉장고 도어에 내장되게 배치되고, 본 고안에 따라 상기 집수통의 저면에는 배수용 호스(12)의 상단이 연결되고 하단은 냉장고 하부의 증발명에 배치된다.In FIG. 3, the sump 11 is disposed at the bottom of the dispenser 10 so as to be embedded in the refrigerator door, and according to the present invention, the top of the drain hose 12 is connected to the bottom of the sump and the lower part of the lower part of the refrigerator It is placed in the evaporation name.

그리고, 집수통과 인접한 호스(12)의 상단에는 본 고안에 따라 센서(13)가 제공되어 집수통에 집수되는 잔수량을 체크하도록 하고, 그 하류측에는 배수용 호스(12)를 선택적으로 개폐시키도록 솔레노이드 밸브(14)가 설치된다.In addition, a sensor 13 is provided at the upper end of the hose 12 adjacent to the sump to check the amount of water remaining in the sump, and the downstream hose 12 is selectively opened and closed. Solenoid valve 14 is installed.

집수통의 잔수를 체크하기 위한 센서(13)로는 집수통으로 부어지는 잔수를 체크하는 유량 센서를 사용하거나 혹은 압력 센서를 사용하여 집수통에 집수된 잔수량을 압력 증가에 의해 체크하도록 하는 것이 바람직하다.As a sensor 13 for checking the remaining water in the sump, it is preferable to use a flow rate sensor for checking the residual water poured into the sump or to use a pressure sensor to check the amount of water collected in the sump by increasing the pressure. Do.

상기 센서로부터 출력되는 신호는 냉장고의 전기 전자 부품을 제어하기 위해 통상적으로 제공된 (도면에 도시되지 않은) 마이크로 컴퓨터에서 받아 집수통의 잔수가 미리 설정된 량에 도달하였는지를 미리 저장된 데이터와 비교판단하고, 센서로부터 받은 신호에서 집수통의 잔수량이 미리 설정한 값에 도달한 것으로 판단하면 솔레노이드밸브(14)를 작동시켜 호스(12)의 유로가 개방되게 하여 집수통의 잔수가 호스(12)를 통해 냉장고 하부의 기계실에 통상적으로 제공된 증발명(15)으로 배수되게 한다. 그런 다음, 다시 마이크로컴퓨터는 솔레노이드밸브(14)를 닫도록 한다. 증발명에 수집된 디스펜서로부터의 잔수는 제상수와 함께 기계실에 있는 압축기와 콘덴서 코일로부터의 열에 의해 증발된다.The signal output from the sensor is received by a microcomputer (not shown in the drawing), which is normally provided for controlling the electrical and electronic components of the refrigerator, and compared with the stored data to determine whether the remaining amount of the sump reaches a preset amount, and the sensor If it is determined from the signal received from the sump that the remaining amount of the sump reaches a preset value, the solenoid valve 14 is operated to open the flow path of the hose 12 so that the remaining sump of the sump is connected to the refrigerator through the hose 12. Allow drainage to the evaporation name 15 normally provided in the lower machine room. Then, the microcomputer again closes the solenoid valve 14. The residual water from the dispenser collected under the evaporation name is evaporated together with the defrost water by the heat from the compressor and condenser coils in the machine room.

본 고안에 따라, 냉장고 도어에 제공되는 디스펜서의 집수통 저면으로부터 증발명까지 냉장고 도어를 통해 배수용 호스를 설치하고, 그 호스에 집수통의 잔수량을 체크하기 위한 센서와 호스의 유로를 선택적으로 개폐시키기 위한 솔레노이드밸브를 설치하여 냉장고의 디스펜서에서 사용자가 버리는 잔수를 집수하는 집수통의 물이 일정 량이 되면 솔레노이드밸브가 작동하여 호스를 개방하여 잔수가 증발명으로 자동 배수되게 하여 사용자가 집수통에 채워지는 잔수가 넘치지 않는지 확인할 필요없어 매우 간편하게 디스펜서를 사용할 수 있어 냉장고의 고급화로 상품 가치를 향상시키는 장점이 있다.According to the present invention, a hose for drainage is installed through the refrigerator door from the bottom of the sump of the dispenser provided to the refrigerator door to the evaporation name, and the hose and the flow path of the hose for checking the remaining amount of the sump in the hose are selectively provided. Solenoid valve is installed to open and close, and when the amount of water in the sump collecting water is discarded by the dispenser of the refrigerator, the solenoid valve is operated to open the hose so that the remaining water is automatically drained by the evaporation name. There is no need to make sure that the remaining amount is not overflowed, so the dispenser can be used very simply, which has the advantage of improving the value of the product by upgrading the refrigerator.
