본 발명은, 냉장고용 디스펜서에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는, 댐퍼부재 및 이에 따른 부품의 구성이 단순화된 냉장고용 디스펜서에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dispenser for refrigerators, and more particularly, to a refrigerator dispenser in which the configuration of the damper member and the components thereof is simplified.

최근에는 사용자의 선택에 따라 물 또는 얼음을 제공하는 디스펜서를 갖는 냉장고가 출시되고 있다. Recently, refrigerators having dispensers for providing water or ice according to a user's selection have been released.

한국특허출원 제1997-0080299호에 개시된 종래의 냉장고는 냉장실 및 냉동실이 구획된 본체캐비닛과, 본체캐비닛에 설치되어 냉장실 및 냉동실을 개폐하는 냉장실도어 및 냉동실도어를 포함한다. 이 때, 냉동실도어에는 물 및 얼음을 공급받을 수 있도록 디스펜서가 설치되어 있다. The conventional refrigerator disclosed in Korean Patent Application No. 1997-0080299 includes a main cabinet in which a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment are partitioned, and a refrigerating compartment door and a freezing compartment door installed in the main cabinet to open and close the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment. At this time, the freezer door is provided with a dispenser to receive water and ice.

냉동실에는 얼음을 제빙하며 디스펜서로 얼음을 공급하는 제빙장치가 마련되어 있다.The freezer is provided with an ice making machine for making ice and supplying ice to the dispenser.

냉동실도어에는 제빙장치로부터 얼음이 토출되는 토출구가 형성되어 있고, 토출구의 하측에는 제빙장치로부터의 얼음을 토출하도록 제어하는 스위치와, 탄성력에 의해 토출구를 폐쇄시키는 차단판과, 차단판과 연결 설치되어 스위치를 동작시키는 푸시레버와, 토출구의 일측에 배치되어 푸시레버에 의해 개방된 차단판의 폐쇄속도를 감속시키는 댐퍼가 장착되어 있다. The freezer door has a discharge port through which ice is discharged from the ice making device. A switch controlling the discharge of ice from the ice making device is provided below the discharge port, a blocking plate for closing the discharge port by elastic force, and a blocking plate.

디스펜서케이싱(31)의 상부면에는 얼음유출공(18)으로부터 얼음이 얼음토출구(34)로 토출되도록 얼음을 안내하는 토출관(35)이 장착되어 있다. 디스펜서케이싱(31)에는 댐퍼부재(40)가 장착되도록 댐퍼받침부(36)가 돌출 형성되어 있다. The upper surface of the dispenser casing 31 is equipped with a discharge tube 35 for guiding the ice so that the ice is discharged from the ice discharge hole 18 to the ice discharge port 34. In the dispenser casing 31, a damper support part 36 is formed to protrude so that the damper member 40 is mounted.

댐퍼받침부(36)는 개폐커버부재(32)의 측부영역에 돌출 형성되어 있으며, 댐퍼부재(40)의 일영역이 장착되도록 함몰 형성된 댐퍼장착부(37)를 포함한다. 그리고, 댐퍼받침부(36)에는 후술할 스크류결합공(52a)과 대응하여 스크류(55)가 체결되는 스크류체결공(38)이 형성되어 있다. 여기서, 댐퍼장착부(37)는 댐퍼부재(40)의 일영역의 형상과 대응되게 마련되는 것이 바람직하다.The damper support part 36 protrudes from the side area of the opening / closing cover member 32 and includes a damper mounting part 37 recessed to mount one region of the damper member 40. In addition, the damper support part 36 is formed with a screw fastening hole 38 to which the screw 55 is fastened corresponding to the screw coupling hole 52a to be described later. Here, the damper mounting portion 37 is preferably provided to correspond to the shape of one region of the damper member 40.

레버부재(33)는 디스펜서케이싱(31)에 대해 회동 가능하게 결합되고, 개폐커버부재(32)를 개방위치와 폐쇄위치 사이에서 회동시킨다. 즉, 사용자가 레버부재(33)를 가압하면 개폐커버부재(32)는 얼음토출구(34)를 개방하도록 전방으로 회동 하고, 레버부재(33)로부터 힘을 제거하면 개폐커버부재(32)는 얼음토출구(34)를 폐쇄하도록 후방으로 회동하게 된다. 레버부재(33)는 회전축(33a)을 중심으로 회동 가능하며, 누름부(33b)와, 개폐커버부재(32)와 연결되어 레버부재(33)의 작동에 따라 개폐커버부재(32)를 회동시키는 연결부(33c)를 포함한다. The lever member 33 is rotatably coupled to the dispenser casing 31 and rotates the opening and closing cover member 32 between the open position and the closed position. That is, when the user presses the lever member 33, the opening and closing cover member 32 rotates forward to open the ice discharge port 34, and when the force is removed from the lever member 33, the opening and closing cover member 32 is iced. It rotates backward to close the discharge port 34. The lever member 33 is pivotable about the rotation shaft 33a, and is connected to the pressing part 33b and the opening / closing cover member 32 to rotate the opening / closing cover member 32 according to the operation of the lever member 33. It includes a connecting portion 33c.

개폐커버부재(32)는 레버부재(33)와 연동하며, 힌지축(32a)을 중심으로 회동 가능하다. 개폐커버부재(32)는 얼음토출구(34)를 밀폐하는 기밀유지커버(32b)와, 기밀유지커버(32b)의 측부에 결합되어 댐퍼부재(40)와 맞물리는 기어(32c)를 포함한다.

The opening and closing cover member 32 includes an airtight holding cover 32b for sealing the ice discharge port 34 and a gear 32c coupled to the side of the airtight holding cover 32b and engaged with the damper member 40.

댐퍼부재(40)는 개폐커버부재(32)의 기어(32c)와 맞물려 마련되며, 개폐커버부재(32)가 얼음토출구(34)를 서서히 폐쇄하도록 구동된다. 이에, 사용자가 레버부재(33)로부터 힘을 제거하더라도 개폐커버부재(32)가 얼음토출구(34)를 빨리 폐쇄하지 않기 때문에 얼음이 얼음토출구(34)로 충분히 빠질 수 있는 시간이 확보가 된다. 따라서, 얼음토출구(34)와 개폐커버부재(32) 사이에 얼음이 끼지 않으므로 냉동실(11)의 냉기가 외부로 유출되는 것을 방지할 수 있다. 댐퍼부재(40)는 일영역이 댐퍼장착부(37)에 장착된다. 이 때, 댐퍼부재(40)는 단지 댐퍼장착부(37)에 삽입된 상태가 되므로 댐퍼장착부(37)로부터 이탈될 수 있다. 여기서, 냉장고용 디스펜서(30)는 댐퍼부재(40)가 디스펜서케이싱(31)으로부터 이탈되는 것을 방지하는 지지브래킷(50)이 필요하다. The damper member 40 is provided in engagement with the gear 32c of the opening and closing cover member 32, and the opening and closing cover member 32 is driven to close the ice discharge port 34 gradually. Thus, even if the user removes the force from the lever member 33, since the opening and closing cover member 32 does not close the ice discharge port 34 quickly, the time for the ice to sufficiently fall into the ice discharge port 34 is secured. Therefore, since ice is not caught between the ice discharge port 34 and the opening / closing cover member 32, it is possible to prevent the cold air of the freezing chamber 11 from flowing out. One portion of the damper member 40 is mounted to the damper mounting portion 37. At this time, the damper member 40 is only in the state of being inserted into the damper mounting portion 37 can be separated from the damper mounting portion 37. Here, the refrigerator dispenser 30 needs a support bracket 50 to prevent the damper member 40 from being separated from the dispenser casing 31.

지지브래킷(50)은 일측이 디스펜서케이싱(31)에 결합되고 타측이 댐퍼부재(40)의 타영역에 결합된다. 지지브래킷(50)은 댐퍼부재(40)의 타영역이 삽입되는 삽입홈(53)이 형성된 댐퍼결합부(51)와, 댐퍼결합부(51)로부터 연장되어 디스펜서케이싱(31)에 결합되는 케이싱결합부(52)를 포함한다. One side of the support bracket 50 is coupled to the dispenser casing 31, and the other side thereof is coupled to the other region of the damper member 40. The support bracket 50 includes a damper coupler 51 having an insertion groove 53 into which the other region of the damper member 40 is inserted, and a casing extending from the damper coupler 51 and coupled to the dispenser casing 31. The coupling portion 52 is included.

댐퍼결합부(51)의 삽입홈(53)은 댐퍼부재(40)의 타영역과 형상 대응되는 것이 바람직하다. The insertion groove 53 of the damper coupling portion 51 preferably corresponds to the shape of the other region of the damper member 40.

케이싱결합부(52)는 댐퍼결합부(51)로부터 절곡 형성되며, 판면에는 스크류결합공(52a)이 형성되어 있다. 이에, 스크류(55)가 케이싱결합부(52)의 스크류결합공(52a)을 관통하여 댐퍼받침부(36)의 스크류체결공(38)에 체결됨으로써, 지지브래킷(50)이 디스펜서케이싱(31)에 결합될 수 있다. The casing coupling part 52 is bent from the damper coupling part 51, and the screw coupling hole 52a is formed in the plate surface. Accordingly, the screw 55 passes through the screw coupling hole 52a of the casing coupling part 52 and is fastened to the screw fastening hole 38 of the damper support part 36, whereby the support bracket 50 is dispenser casing 31. ) May be combined.

그리고, 지지브래킷(50)은 댐퍼결합부(51)와 케이싱결합부(52) 사이에 형성되어 강도를 보강하는 보강리브(57)를 더 포함한다. 이에, 지지브래킷(50)은 개폐부재커재와 연동하는 댐퍼부재(40)를 댐퍼받침부(36)에 견고히 지지하므로, 댐퍼부재(40)의 작동이 원활히 수행될 수 있다.In addition, the support bracket 50 further includes a reinforcing rib 57 formed between the damper coupling portion 51 and the casing coupling portion 52 to reinforce the strength.
