본 고안은 냉장고의 제상수를 배출하기 위한 배수구조에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 증발기에서 생성된 제상수가, 배수통로로 들어가기 전에 형성된 집수홈에 모여서 히터에 의하여 완전히 녹은 다음 제상수 배수통로를 통하여 외부로 배출되도록 구성된 배수구조에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a drainage structure for discharging defrosting water in a refrigerator. More specifically, defrosting water generated in an evaporator is collected in a collecting groove formed before entering a drainage passage and completely melted by a heater, and then a defrosting drainage passage is formed. It relates to a drainage structure configured to be discharged to the outside through.

냉장고에서 냉기를 형성하는 증발기의 표면에는 냉장고의 내부 또는 외부에서 침투한 습기에 의하여 결빙현상이 발생한다. 이러한 결빙현상이 발생하면 증발기의 열교환 효율이 저하되기 때문에, 냉장고에서는 증발기의 표면에 형성된 얼음을 녹이는 제상과정을 주기적으로 반복하고 있다.On the surface of the evaporator, which forms cold air in the refrigerator, freezing occurs due to moisture penetrating from inside or outside of the refrigerator. When such freezing occurs, the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator is lowered, and thus the refrigerator periodically repeats the defrosting process of melting ice formed on the surface of the evaporator.

제1도를 참조하여 제상수의 배출에 대하여 고찰한다. 상기 제상과정에 의하여 발생하는 제상수는, 증발기(2)에 설치되어 있는 냉각실의 하단부에 형성된 배수접시(4)를 통하여 배수통로(8)로 안내되어, 냉장고의 하단에 설치되어 있는 물받이로 안내됨으로써, 냉장고의 외부로 배출되고 있다. 상기 배수접시(4)에는 제상과정에서 사용되는 히터(6)가 상부측에 설치되어 있다.Consider the discharge of the defrost water with reference to FIG. The defrost water generated by the defrosting process is guided to the drain passage 8 through a drain plate 4 formed at the lower end of the cooling chamber installed in the evaporator 2, to a drip tray installed at the bottom of the refrigerator. By being guided, it is discharged to the outside of the refrigerator. The drainage plate 4 is provided with a heater 6 used in the defrosting process on the upper side.

증발기(2)에 얼어붙어 있던 얼음은, 제상과정을 통하여 상기 배수접시(4)로 떨어져 내린다. 그리고 이러한 상태에서 상기 배수접시(4)의 배수통로(8)로 안내되지만, 증발기(2)에서 떨어져 내리는 것은, 완전히 녹은 상태의 제상수가 아니라, 얼음 상태의 것이 많다. 이러한 얼음상태의 것은, 상기 배수접시(4)에 의하여 안내되어 배수통로(8)로 모이게 된다. 그러나 상기 배수통로(8)에 모인 얼음은, 원활하게 배수통로(8)의 하단부로 안내되지 않고, 배수통로(8)에 쌓이게 되는 경우가 발생하고, 이로 인하여 상기 배수통로(8)에는 나중에 녹은 제상수가 배수되지 않게 된다. 즉, 배수통로(8) 자체가 결빙되는 현상이 발생하는 단점이 있는 것이다.The ice frozen in the evaporator 2 falls into the drainage plate 4 through the defrosting process. In this state, although guided to the drain passage 8 of the drain plate 4, falling off from the evaporator 2 is not a defrosted water in a completely melted state, but many in an ice state. These iced things are guided by the drainage plate 4 and are collected in the drainage passage 8. However, the ice collected in the drain passage 8 is not smoothly guided to the lower end of the drain passage 8, but accumulates in the drain passage 8, which causes later melting in the drain passage 8. Defrost water will not drain. That is, there is a disadvantage that the phenomenon that the drain passage 8 itself freezes.

이러한 단점은, 배수접시(4)의 상측면에 설치되어 있는 히터(6)가 얼음을 완전히 녹이지 못하는 점에 기인하고 있다.This disadvantage is due to the fact that the heater 6 provided on the upper side of the drainage plate 4 does not completely melt the ice.

본 고안의 목적은, 제상수의 배출이 원활한 제상수 배수구조를 제공하는 것이다.It is an object of the present invention to provide a defrost water drainage structure in which discharge of defrost water is smooth.

이러한 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 고안에 의한 배수구조는, 하향하는 배수통로가 성형되어 있는 배수접시와, 상기 배수접시의 주위에 성형되고, 상기 배수통로와 연통하는 제상수안내공이 형성된 집수홈, 그리고 상기 배수접시에서 집수홈의 내부까지 연장 설치되어 있는 히터를 포함하여 구성된다.The drainage structure according to the present invention for achieving the above object is a drainage plate in which a downward drainage passage is formed, a collecting groove having a defrost water guide hole formed around the drainage dish and communicating with the drainage passage; It is configured to include a heater extending from the drain plate to the inside of the collecting groove.

이러한 본 고안에 의하면, 증발기에서 떨어진 얼음이 상기 집수홈에 모여서, 그 내부에 설치된 히터에 의하여 완전히 녹은 제상수로 되어 배수통로를 통하여 냉장고의 외부로 배출되는 것으로, 배수통로의 결빙에 대한 문제점을 해결할 수 있게 된다.According to the present invention, the ice falling from the evaporator is collected in the water collecting groove, the defrosted water is completely melted by the heater installed therein and is discharged to the outside of the refrigerator through the drainage passage, the problem of the freezing of the drainage passage It can be solved.

다음에는 도면에 도시한 실시예에 기초하면서 본 고안을 더욱 상세하게 설명하기로 한다.Next, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

And a circular water collecting groove 20 formed around the drain passage 18, and a heater 16 installed inside the circular water collecting groove 20 and the drain plate 14.

상기 배수접시(14)는 증발기(12)의 하단부에 설치되어, 떨어지는 제상수를 배수통로(18)을 향하여 안내할 수 있도록 형성되어 있다. 그리고 상기 배수접시(14)의 상측면에는 히터(16)가 설치되어 있다. 그리고 상기 히터(16)는, 후술하는 집수홈(20)의 내부까지 연장되어 있고, 실질적으로 이와 같이 제상히터를 집수홈(20)의 내부까지 연장 설치하는 것에 의하여, 제상과정에서 발생하는 얼음을 충분히 녹인 다음 배출할 수 있도록 구성하고 있다.The drainage plate 14 is installed at the lower end of the evaporator 12 and is formed to guide the defrosted water falling toward the drainage passage 18. And the heater 16 is provided in the upper side of the said drainage dish 14. The heater 16 extends to the inside of the collecting groove 20, which will be described later, and substantially extends the defrost heater to the inside of the collecting groove 20 in this way, thereby preventing ice generated in the defrosting process. It is configured to be sufficiently melted and then discharged.

그리고 배수접시(14)에 형성된 제상수 배수통로(18)는 제상과정에서 생성된 제상수를 냉장고의 외부로 안내하기 위한 입구 부분에 해당하는 것이고, 상기 배수통로(18)의 주위에는 도너츠 형상의 집수홈(20)이 성형되어 있다. 상기 집수홈(20)의 내부에는 상술한 바와 같이 배수접시(14)의 상측면에 설치되어 있는 히터(16)가 연장 설치되어 있다.The defrost water drain passage 18 formed in the drain plate 14 corresponds to an inlet portion for guiding the defrost water generated in the defrost process to the outside of the refrigerator, and has a donut shape around the drain passage 18. The collecting groove 20 is molded. Inside the water collecting groove 20, as described above, the heater 16 provided on the upper side of the drainage dish 14 is extended.

상기와 같은 구조에 의하여, 집수홈(20)과 배수통로(18) 사이에는 벽(24)이 형성되게 된다. 그리고 상기 집수홈(20)의 하부에는 상기 집수홈(20)과 배수통로(18) 사이를 관통하는 다수개의 제상수 안내공(22)이 성형되어 있다.By the structure as described above, the wall 24 is formed between the collecting groove 20 and the drain passage 18. In addition, a plurality of defrost water guide holes 22 penetrating between the water collecting groove 20 and the drain passage 18 are formed in the lower portion of the water collecting groove 20.

다음에는 이상과 같이 구성되는 본 고안에 의한 제상수의 배출 과정에 대하여 설명하기로 한다.Next will be described the discharge process of the defrost water according to the present invention configured as described above.

증발기의 표면에 부착되어 있는 얼음은, 제상과정에 의하여 증발기 표면에서 분리되어 배수접시(14)로 떨어져 내리게 된다. 이렇게 배수접시(14)로 떨어져 내리는 것은, 완전히 녹은 제상수가 아니라, 실질적으로는 증발기에서 분리된 열음 상태의 것이 더 많다고 볼 수 있다.Ice adhered to the surface of the evaporator is separated from the surface of the evaporator by the defrosting process and falls off to the drainage plate 14. This fall down to the drainage plate 14 is not a completely melted defrost water, it can be seen that more of the hot state substantially separated from the evaporator.

이렇게 하여 상기 배수접시(14)로 떨어진 얼음은, 배수접시(14)에 의하여 안내되어, 배수통로(18) 츠긍로 이동하게 된다. 이 때 상기 얼음은 배수통로(18)의 주위에 원형으로 형성되어 있는 집수홈(20)에 모이게 된다. 집수홈(20)의 내부로 안내된 얼음은, 그 내부까지 연장 설치되어 있는 히터(16)에 의하여 완전히 녹게 된다. 상기 집수홈(20)의 내부에서 히터(16)에 의하여 녹은 제상수는, 상기 집수홈(20)과 배수통로(18) 사이를 관통하는 다수개의 제상수 안내공(22)을 통하여 배수통로(18)로 안내되어, 배수통로(18)를 따라 냉장고의 외부로 배출되게 된다.In this way, the ice which fell to the said drainage dish 14 is guided by the drainage dish 14, and is moved to the drainage path 18. At this time, the ice is collected in the collecting groove 20 is formed in a circular shape around the drain passage (18). The ice guided to the inside of the collecting groove 20 is completely melted by the heater 16 extending to the inside. The defrost water melted by the heater 16 in the water collecting groove 20 is drained through a plurality of defrost water guide holes 22 passing between the water collecting groove 20 and the drain passage 18. 18, it is discharged to the outside of the refrigerator along the drain passage (18).

이상에서 살펴본 바와 같이, 본 고안에 의하면 증발기에서 녹아내린 얼음은 상기 집수홈(20)에 모이게 되고 집수홈(20)의 내부에 설치된 히터에 의하여 완전히 녹은 상태의 제상수로 된다. 따라서 본 고안에 의하면 제상 과정에서 녹은 얼음이 배수통로의 입구를 막아서 배수통로를 결빙시키는 종래의 문제점이 해결되어, 제상수의 배출이 원활하게 이루어지는 장점이 있는 것이다.As described above, according to the present invention, the ice melted in the evaporator is collected in the water collecting groove 20 and becomes a defrost water in a completely melted state by a heater installed in the water collecting groove 20. Therefore, according to the present invention, the conventional problem that the ice melted during the defrosting process blocks the inlet of the drainage passage and freezes the drainage passage is solved, and the defrosting water is smoothly discharged.
