그러나, 이때 본 발명의 특징부는, 상기 디스펜서는 그 주변의 온도가 상온의 실내 온도보다 상대적으로 상당히 낮으므로 푸시 레버(46)를 가압하여 차단판(44)을 개방하며 토출구(62)를 통하여 제빙조(61)의 얼음을 공급받는 순간적인 동작을 진행하는 동안에 개방된 토출구(62)를 통하여 상온의 실내공기가 제빙조(61)의 내측으로 유입되지 않는다는 점이다.However, at this time, a feature of the present invention is that the dispenser presses the push lever 46 to open the blocking plate 44 because the temperature of the surroundings is considerably lower than the room temperature at room temperature, and the ice making through the discharge port 62. The indoor air at room temperature is not introduced into the ice-making tank 61 through the discharge port 62 opened during the momentary operation of receiving the ice of the tank 61.

더 상세하게는, 본 발명에 따른 제빙조(61)와 디스펜서는 도아(20)에 의해 밀폐되는 저장실의 내부 일측에 설치되고, 저장실은 항상 낮은 온도를 유지하게 되므로, 디스펜서로부터 얼음을 공급받기 위해 저장실을 밀폐하는 도아(20)를 순간적으로 개방하더라도 그 주위의 잠열에 의해 상온의 실내공기가 토출구(62)를 통하여 제빙조의 내측으로 쉽게 유입되지 않게 된다.More specifically, the ice making tank 61 and the dispenser according to the present invention are installed at one side of the storage compartment sealed by the door 20, and the storage compartment is always kept at a low temperature, so as to receive ice from the dispenser. Even if the door 20 which seals the storage chamber is momentarily opened, the indoor air at room temperature is not easily introduced into the ice making tank through the discharge port 62 by the latent heat of the surroundings.

따라서, 종래와 같이, 디스펜서가 실내측을 향한 도아에 설치된 구조에 의해, 디스펜서를 수시로 사용할 때 상온의 실내공기가 토출구(62)를 통하여 제빙조(61)의 내측으로 유입되며, 그 내측에 보관된 얼음을 해빙시켰던 문제점은 적극적으로 해결된다.Therefore, as in the prior art, the dispenser is installed in the door facing the interior side, so that when the dispenser is frequently used, room air at room temperature flows into the ice making tank 61 through the discharge port 62, and stored therein. The problem of thawing frozen ice is actively resolved.

상술한 바와 같은 본 발명에 따른 디스펜서가 적용된 냉장고는, 디스펜서를 사용할 때 상온의 실내공기가 토출구를 통하여 제빙조로 유입됨을 극소화 함으로써, 제빙조의 얼음이 해빙됨을 억제하는 등의 특징이 있다.As described above, the refrigerator to which the dispenser is applied according to the present invention has a feature of minimizing the inflow of room air at room temperature into the ice making tank through the discharge port, thereby suppressing the ice in the ice making tank.

본 발명은 상술한 바와 같이 도면에 도시된 일 실시예를 일예로들어 설명되었으나 이는 예시적인 것에 불과하며 본원 기술분야의 통상의 지식을 가진자라면 이로부터 다양한 변형 및 균등한 타 실시예가 가능할 것이다.Although the present invention has been described with reference to one embodiment shown in the drawings as an example, it is merely exemplary and various modifications and equivalent other embodiments will be possible to those skilled in the art.
