AIR DAMPER OF DISPENSER FOR REFRIGERATOR

摘要

PURPOSE: An air damper of dispenser for refrigerator is provided to be easily manufactured at inexpensive cost. CONSTITUTION: An air damper(71) delays rotation of a working lever, opening and closing an opening and closing cover, rotating to open and close an ice outlet, and includes a damper cylinder(73); a damper piston(79); a damper connecting rod(74); and an opening and closing device. The damper cylinder is cylindrical and has an air intake passage(80) formed on one side thereof to fluidically connect an inside and an outside. The damper piston slides reciprocatingly in the damper cylinder. The damper connecting rod interacts with the working lever to slide the damper piston. The opening and closing device is interlocked with sliding of the damper piston to open and close the air intake passage and includes an opening and closing ball(89); a pair of detachment preventing parts(85); and an air outlet(97). The opening and closing ball is movably placed inside the air intake passage. The detachment preventing parts are formed with a flowing space of the opening and closing ball in the air intake passage between themselves to face with each other and interact with the opening and closing ball to intermit inflow of air from outside.
