    Ice take-off device of the refrigerator
    The present invention relates to an apparatus for taking ice out of a refrigerator, and in particular, it is possible to easily extract ice without opening the refrigerator door when taking out ice generated by an automatic ice maker provided in a freezer compartment, thereby preventing loss of cold air and The present invention relates to an ice extractor of a refrigerator having an improved structure to facilitate its use.
    Generally, the ice extractor of the refrigerator has a structure in which the refrigerator door is opened and the ice is extracted from the ice storage when the ice generated by the ice maker is taken out. In addition, the cooling efficiency of the refrigerator is increased, as well as the operation of the compressor motor is frequently caused, resulting in an economic loss such as increased power consumption.
    In addition, the use of the door every time the ice is used to increase the number of opening and closing of the door to promote the deflection of the door and the deformation of the gasket to reduce the life of the refrigerator.
    In view of such a problem, the ice extractor of the refrigerator, which is operated to be more convenient to use, has been commercialized. The ice extractor of the conventional refrigerator, which can extract ice without opening the door, is illustrated in FIG. 1.
    Referring to FIG. 1, the ice extractor of the refrigerator includes an ice reservoir 10 in which ice generated by an automatic ice maker is temporarily stored, and a door 20 installed at one side of the ice reservoir to remove ice from the ice reservoir 10. And an ice shield plate 40 rotatably coupled by the hinge 30 in the ice reservoir 10 to open and close together with the door 20.
    The ice extractor of the conventional refrigerator configured as described above is located behind the door at the same time as the door 20 is opened by pulling the door forward while holding the handle 21 installed on the door 20 while the door 20 is closed. The ice shield plate 40 rotates in the open direction to take out a predetermined amount of ice temporarily stored in the ice reservoir 10, and when the door 20 is closed after removing the ice, the ice shield plate also rotates in the closing direction. .
    In addition, in the structure, the ice shield plate 40 serves to prevent the ice filled in the ice reservoir 10 from flowing outward of the ice reservoir 10 when the door 20 is opened.
    However, the ice extractor of the conventional refrigerator as described above, the ice barrier plate 40 by a simple structure in which the hinges 30 formed on both side plates of the ice shield plate 40 are coupled to the hinge grooves of the ice storage 10. Since it is rotatably installed in the ice reservoir 10, the ice is caught between the side wall of the ice reservoir 10 and the side plate of the ice shield plate 40, thereby preventing the rotation of the ice shield plate 40, so that the door ( 20) there is a problem that opening and closing is not smooth.
    In addition, grab the door handle 21, open the door 20, and then put a hand into the ice storage 10 to draw out the required amount of ice by a small amount, so it is inconvenient when you want to withdraw a large amount of ice This takes
    In addition, since the outflow amount of the cold air increases due to the opening and closing of the door 20, the cooling efficiency is lowered, and the operation of the compressor motor, etc. is frequently performed, thereby increasing power loss.
    In addition, the longer the opening time of the door 20 is entangled with each other as the ice melts, so it is difficult to draw the ice into the wok, and there is a problem that it is inconvenient to use the tangled ice immediately.
    The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and has the following object.
    First, the object of the present invention is to provide an ice extractor of a refrigerator having an improved structure such that ice can be withdrawn without opening the refrigerator door, thereby reducing ice extraction time and preventing loss of cold air.
    Second, by forming an entrance so that the upper and lower ends of the ice extraction door communicate with each other, even if the ice extraction door is opened at a fine angle, the ice is drawn out to the lower side of the refrigerator through the entrance of the ice extraction door. In addition to improving the cooling efficiency of the refrigerator, the operation time of the compressor motor, etc. is shortened to provide an ice extractor of the refrigerator having an improved structure to reduce power consumption.
    Third, since the ice storage container where the ice is temporarily stored even when the ice extraction door is opened is formed in a structure that is not exposed to the outside air, the ice melts and prevents mutual fusion, so that it is convenient to use even when the ice is taken out. It is an object of the present invention to provide an ice extractor of a refrigerator having an improved structure.
