However, the carbonated water maker of the US patent refrigerator has a complicated structure that allows the user to manually open and close the valve and the water supply valves of the carbon dioxide storage container to produce carbonated water, thereby increasing the refrigerator manufacturing cost. There was a problem that is difficult to apply to a normal household refrigerator.
따라서, 본 발명은 상술한 종래 냉장고에 적용하는 탄산수 제조기의 구조의 복잡함에 따른 냉장고의 부피 증가 및 과도한 제조비의 문제점을 해소하여 일반 가정용 냉장고에 저렴하고 간편하게 채용할 수 있도록 개선된 구조의 탄산수 제조기를 구비하여 디스펜서로 공급되는 물에 탄산가스가 용해되어 탄산수가 노즐을 통해 배출되도록 개선된 구조의 탄산수 디스펜서를 구비한 냉장고의 제공을 목적으로 한다. Therefore, the present invention solves the problems of the volume increase and excessive manufacturing cost of the refrigerator due to the complexity of the structure of the carbonated water maker to be applied to the conventional refrigerator described above to improve the carbonated water maker of the improved structure so that it can be easily and cheaply employed in a normal household refrigerator An object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator having a carbonated water dispenser having an improved structure such that carbonic acid gas is dissolved in water supplied to the dispenser so that carbonated water is discharged through a nozzle.

이하, 본 발명의 실시예를 도시한 첨부 도면을 참고하여 본 발명을 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.
통상적으로 냉장고(10)에는 외부의 급수원으로부터 필터(11)를 통해 급수되는 물을 저장하는 급수탱크(12)가 냉장실로 공급되는 냉기에 의해 물이 냉각될 수 있게 제공되며, 그 급수탱크로부터의 물은 배관(13)을 통하여 (도면의 간략화를 위해 도시하지 않은) 제빙기와 디스펜서(14)의 냉수 공급 노즐(15)로 공급된다.Typically, the refrigerator 10 is provided with a water supply tank 12 storing water supplied through the filter 11 from an external water supply source so that water can be cooled by cold air supplied to the refrigerating chamber, and from the water supply tank Is supplied to the cold water supply nozzle 15 of the ice maker and the dispenser 14 (not shown for simplicity of the drawing) through the pipe 13.
본 발명에 따라, 탄산수 제조기(16)가 도 2의 정면도와 도 3의 측면도에 도시된 개략적인 구성도에서 볼 수 있듯이, 냉장고의 냉동실 도어의 내측에 장착되어 급수탱크(12)로부터 체크밸브(20)가 제공된 배관(13)에 장착되며, 냉장실에 제공된 탄산가스 용기(21)로부터 탄산가스가 체크밸브(25)가 제공되고 상기 탄산수 제조기(16)에 연결되는 배관(26)을 통해 탄산수 제조기로 공급된다.According to the present invention, the carbonated water generator 16 is mounted on the inside of the freezer door of the refrigerator as shown in the schematic configuration shown in the front view of FIG. 2 and the side view of FIG. 20 is mounted on a pipe 13 provided, and carbon dioxide gas from a carbon dioxide gas container 21 provided in a refrigerating chamber is provided with a check valve 25 and connected to the carbonated water maker 16 through a pipe 26. Is supplied.
상기 탄산가스 용기는 탄산가스가 10 내지 100기압의 고압의 압축 탄산가스통을 이용하고, 후술하는 탄산가스 용해를 위한 공급 압력은 1 내지 10기압으로 감압시켜 탄산가스를 공급하는 것이 바람직하다.The carbon dioxide gas container is a carbon dioxide gas is a high pressure compressed carbon dioxide gas cylinder of 10 to 100 atm, the supply pressure for dissolving carbonic acid gas to be described later is preferably reduced to 1 to 10 atm to supply carbon dioxide gas.
본 발명의 탄산수 제조기(16)는 냉동실에 면하는 도어 내측에 배치됨으로써 냉동실의 의해 탄산수가 냉각될 수 있도록 할 뿐만 아니라 탄산가스의 용해도가 향상된다.The carbonated water producer 16 of the present invention is disposed inside the door facing the freezing chamber, so that not only the carbonated water can be cooled by the freezing chamber but also the solubility of the carbon dioxide gas is improved.
도 3에 도시된 본 발명의 일실시예에 의한 탄산수 제조기(16)는 관형의 몸체부(30)에 탄산가스 공급용 배관(26)이 접속되는 접속부(31)가 형성되어 있어서, 급수탱크에서 배관을 통해 도면의 상측으로부터 공급되는 정수에 탄산가스가 혼합되어 탄산가스가 용해되도록 이루어져 있다.In the carbonated water producer 16 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention illustrated in FIG. 3, a connection part 31 to which a carbon dioxide gas supply pipe 26 is connected to the tubular body part 30 is formed, Carbon dioxide gas is mixed with purified water supplied from the upper side of the drawing through a pipe so that carbon dioxide gas is dissolved.
탄산가스가 주입되는 곳부터 디스펜서의 노즐까지의 거리를 증가시키면 탄산가스의 용해 농도가 증가될 수 있지만, 냉장고 도어에 설치해야 하는 제약과, 비용의 증가의 문제가 발생된다. Increasing the distance from where the carbon dioxide is injected to the nozzle of the dispenser may increase the dissolved concentration of carbon dioxide, but it causes a problem of limitations and cost increase to be installed in the refrigerator door.
이러한 문제를 해결하여 짧은 거리에서도 충분한 탄산가스 용해 농도를 얻기 위하여, 본 발명의 탄산수 제조기에서, 짧은 시간에 탄산가스가 정수에 용해될 수 있도록 탄산수 제조기의 내부 관로 형상은 도 3에 도시된 바와같이 벤튜리관과 같이 입구측의 직경이 탄산가스가 유입되는 접속부에서의 직경보다 커서 접속부의 좁은 관로에서 압력이 낮아 역류가 방지되며, 흐름 속도가 증가되어 정수와 탄산가스의 혼합 작용이 보다 신속히 이루어지고 그 하류측의 방사상으로 형성된 유로를 통과하는 동안에도 정수와 탄산가스의 혼합 흐름이 계속 와류 상태가 유지된다.In order to solve this problem and obtain a sufficient carbon dioxide dissolution concentration even at a short distance, in the carbonated water maker of the present invention, the inner pipe shape of the carbonated water maker is so as to dissolve the purified water in a short time as shown in Figure 3 As the diameter of the inlet side is larger than the diameter of the inlet where the carbon dioxide is introduced, such as a venturi tube, the pressure is low in the narrow conduit to prevent backflow, and the flow rate is increased, so that the mixing action of the purified water and the carbon dioxide is made faster. The mixing flow of purified water and carbon dioxide gas is kept in a vortex even while passing through the radially formed flow path on the downstream side.
탄산가스의 용해가 보다 신속히 이루어질 수 있게 공급되는 정수와 탄산가스가 와류 상태로 되도록 하기 위하여, 본 발명의 탄산수 제조기(16)의 몸체부(30) 하부는 도 4에 단면도로 도시된 바와같이 방사상으로 격벽(33)이 형성되어 폭이 더욱 좁아진 유로(35)가 방사상으로 독립되게 형성되어 공급되는 정수와 탄산가스의 혼합 흐름이 저항을 받아 와류 상태로 되고, 압력이 저하되어 혼합 흐름이 역류하지 않고 디스펜서 노즐을 통해 수요자에게 탄산음료가 공급된다.In order for the purified water and the carbon dioxide gas to be in a vortex state so that the carbon dioxide gas can be dissolved more quickly, the lower portion of the body portion 30 of the carbonated water maker 16 of the present invention is radial as shown in cross-sectional view in FIG. The partition wall 33 is formed so that the narrower flow path 35 is formed radially independently, so that the mixed flow of purified water and carbon dioxide gas is subjected to resistance to vortex, and the pressure is lowered, so that the mixed flow does not flow back. Instead, carbonated beverages are supplied to consumers through dispenser nozzles.
비록 본 발명의 탄산수 제조기(16)의 몸체부의 길이가 짧아서 탄산가스와 정수가 혼합되어 용해되는 시간이 짧지만, 본 발명의 탄산수 제조기에서 탄산가스의 분사 압력을 1 내지 10기압으로 조정하여 분사하는 경우 탄산가스와 정수가 와류 상태로 혼합이 촉진되어 수요자가 가장 상쾌한 청량감을 갖는 1 내지 4기압 농도의 탄산가스 용해가 얻어진다.Although the length of the body portion of the carbonated water maker 16 of the present invention is short and the time for dissolving carbon dioxide gas and purified water is short, the carbonated water maker of the present invention adjusts the injection pressure of carbon dioxide gas to 1 to 10 atm In this case, mixing of the carbon dioxide gas and the purified water is promoted in a vortex state, so that carbon dioxide gas dissolution at a concentration of 1 to 4 atmospheres in which the consumer has the freshest refreshing feeling is obtained.
이로써, 비록 탄산가스의 주입부에서 디스펜서 노즐까지의 길이가 짧아 탄산가스가 용해될 수 있는 시간이 짧더라도, 본 발명의 탄산수 제조기에서 정수와 탄산가스의 와류 형성을 위한 관로의 벤튜리관 구조와 하부의 구조로 탄산가스의 용해가 촉진되어 종래 단순히 정수 탱크에 탄산가스를 주입시켜 용해시키는 것과 비교하여도 떨어지지 않는 탄산가스의 용해도가 얻어진다.Thus, although the length from the injection portion of the carbon dioxide gas to the dispenser nozzle is short, the time for dissolving the carbon dioxide is short, the venturi tube structure and lower portion of the pipe for vortex formation of purified water and carbon dioxide gas in the carbonated water maker of the present invention. Dissolution of carbon dioxide gas is accelerated by the structure of so that the solubility of carbon dioxide gas which does not fall compared with conventionally simply dissolving carbon dioxide gas in a purified water tank is obtained.
도 5와 도 6은 각각 본 발명에 의한 탄산가스 제조기의 다른 실시예의 몸체부 하부의 유로 구조를 보여주고 있으며, 직경이 더욱 좁아진, 도 4의 유로와 다른 단면 형상의 유로(40)로 이루어져 통과하는 동안 속도가 증가되어 더욱 더 거센 와류 상태로 되어 탄산가스의 용해가 촉진된다.Figures 5 and 6 show the flow path structure of the lower body portion of another embodiment of the carbon dioxide gas production machine according to the present invention, respectively, the diameter is narrower, the passage consisting of a flow path 40 of the cross-sectional shape different from the flow path of Figure 4 During this time, the speed is increased to become a more intense vortex, which promotes dissolution of carbon dioxide gas.
본 발명에 따라, 내부에 벤튜리관 구조를 갖는 탄산수 제조기에 의해 공급되는 정수와 탄산가스의 혼합 흐름이 와류 상태로 되어 짧은 혼합 시간에도 효율적으로 탄산가스의 용해가 얻어지며, 구조가 복잡하지 않아 생산비가 저렴하여 냉장고에 쉽게 적용할 수 있어서 냉장고의 상품가치를 향상시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다.According to the present invention, the mixed flow of purified water and carbon dioxide gas supplied by a carbonated water producer having a venturi tube structure therein becomes a vortex, so that carbon dioxide gas is efficiently dissolved even in a short mixing time, and the structure is not complicated. Since it is inexpensive and can be easily applied to a refrigerator, there is an advantage of improving the product value of the refrigerator.
