이상 살펴본 바와 같이 본 발명은 무접점 리드스위치를 사용하여 릴레이의 구동을 제어하는 것을 기본적인 기술적 사상으로 한다. 이때, 도어가 닫히면 도어에 부착된 자석에 의해서 리드스위치가 열리고, 릴레이의 구동이 오프동작하여 램프가 소등되고, 도어가 열리면 도어에 부착된 자석에 의해 리드스위치가 닫힘 동작하고, 이와 동시에 릴레이가 온구동하여 램프가 점등된다.As described above, in the present invention, it is a basic technical idea to control the driving of a relay using a solid state reed switch. At this time, when the door is closed, the reed switch is opened by the magnet attached to the door, the driving of the relay is turned off and the lamp is turned off. When the door is opened, the reed switch is closed by the magnet attached to the door. The lamp is turned on by driving.

본 발명의 권리는 위에서 설명된 실시예에 한정되지 않고 청구범위에 기재된 바에 의해 정의되며, 본 발명의 분야에서 통상의 지식을 가진 자가 청구범위에 기재된 권리범위 내에서 다양한 변형과 개작을 할 수 있다는 것은 자명하다.The rights of the present invention are not limited to the embodiments described above, but are defined by the claims, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications and adaptations within the scope of the claims. It is self-evident.

따라서 본 발명에 따른 냉장고의 도어스위치회로로 인해서 다음과 같은 효과를 기대할 수 있다.Therefore, the following effects can be expected due to the door switch circuit of the refrigerator according to the present invention.

상기 리드스위치에는 스프링이 없어 냉장고 도어를 외부 케이스와 밀착시켜 고내 냉기가 케이스 외부로 토출되는 것을 방지할 수 있다. 또한 리드스위치는 무접점 스위치로서, 천연가스 냉매 누설에 따른 스파크 발생이 일어나지 않아, 폭발할 수 있는 위험을 감소시킬 수 있다.Since the reed switch has no spring, the refrigerator door may be in close contact with the outer case, thereby preventing cold air from being discharged to the outside of the case. In addition, the reed switch is a contactless switch, the spark does not occur due to leakage of the natural gas refrigerant, it is possible to reduce the risk of explosion.
