Refrigerator

Abstract

Provided is a refrigerator having a gasket that seals between a front plate of a door and a dispenser unit. The refrigerator is characterized by comprising: a body; a storage chamber which is provided inside the body and which has an open front surface; a door which is rotatably coupled to the body so as to open/close the open front surface of the storage chamber, and which has a front plate provided with an opening, a thermal thermal insulating material filling the interior of the door; a dispenser unit which is coupled to the rear surface of the front plate so as to seal the opening, and which dispenses water and ice out of the body; and a gasket coupled to an edge portion of the dispenser unit to seal between the front plate and the dispenser unit.

1 . A refrigerator comprising:
 a main body;   a storage chamber provided in the main body and having an open front surface;   a door which is rotatably coupled to the main body, opens and closes the open front surface of the storage chamber, and has a front plate in which an opening is provided, wherein an inside thereof is filled with a thermal insulating material;   a dispenser unit which is coupled to a rear surface of the front plate to seal the opening, and discharges water and ice to an outside of the main body; and   a gasket which is coupled to an edge portion of the dispenser unit and seals between the front plate and the dispenser unit.   
     
     
         2 . The refrigerator of  claim 1 , wherein an insertion groove into which the gasket is inserted is provided at the edge portion. 
     
     
         3 . The refrigerator of  claim 2 , wherein the gasket is inserted into the insertion groove to protrude from a front surface of an edge of the dispenser unit, and prevents the thermal insulating material from permeating between the front plate and the dispenser unit. 
     
     
         4 . The refrigerator of  claim 3 , wherein since the thermal insulating material is prevented from permeating between the front plate and the dispenser unit by the gasket, the inside of the door is filled with the thermal insulating material to be in direct contact with the front plate. 
     
     
         5 . The refrigerator of  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of hooks by which the dispenser unit is fixed are provided at the opening of the rear surface of the front plate. 
     
     
         6 . The refrigerator of  claim 5 , wherein a plurality of fixing holes fixed by the hooks are provided in the dispenser unit. 
     
     
         7 . The refrigerator of  claim 6 , wherein the dispenser unit is coupled to the rear surface of the front plate so that the hook is inserted into the fixing hole, and when the hook is inserted into the fixing hole, the hook is bent so that the dispenser unit is fixed to the front plate. 
     
     
         8 . The refrigerator of  claim 7 , wherein when the dispenser unit is fixed to the front plate, a cap which seals the fixing hole is provided at the fixing hole to prevent the thermal insulating material from leaking through the fixing hole. 
     
     
         9 . The refrigerator of  claim 5 , wherein a protrusion protruding along a circumference of the opening is provided at the rear surface of the front plate. 
     
     
         10 . The refrigerator of  claim 9 , wherein the protrusion is provided to have a width of 30 mm from the opening, and to protrude 0.45 mm from the rear surface of the front plate.
