Abstract
Provided is a vacuum adiabatic body. The vacuum adiabatic body includes a thin pipe passing through the main body to connect an inside of the accommodation space to an outside of the accommodation portion, a drain pipe provided inside the thin pipe to discharge the defrosting water, and an adiabatic material having an extension extending along the drain pipe to block heat transfer between the drain pipe and the thin pipe and a head provided at one side of both sides of the extension, which is close to the accommodation space.
Claims20
A vacuum adiabatic body, comprising:
- a first plate having a first opening;
- a second plate having a second opening;
- a vacuum space provided between the first plate and the second plate;
- a pipe configured to connect the first opening to the second opening;
- and
- an adiabatic material comprising:
- a single head that is disposed at the first plate and is not disposed at the second plate;
- and
- an extension that extends from the single head and comprising:
- a first part that is disposed in the first opening and is provided inside the pipe;
- a second part that is disposed in the second opening and is provided inside the pipe;
- and
- a third part that connects the first part and the second part and is provided inside the pipe,
- wherein an outer diameter of the single head is greater than an outer diameter of an outer circumferential surface of the pipe.
A vacuum adiabatic body, comprising:
- a first plate configured to define at least a portion of a wall for a first space and having a first opening;
- a second plate configured to define at least a portion of a wall for a second space and having a second opening;
- a vacuum space provided between the first plate and the second plate;
- a pipe configured to connect the first opening to the second opening;
- a single head including a first surface supported by the first plate;
- and
- an extension that extends from the single head and includes a part provided inside of the pipe, wherein the pipe comprises:
- first portions that extend in a first direction from the first plate to the second plate and contact the part of the extension;
- and
- second portions that extend in a different direction from the first direction and each provided between one of the first portions and another of the first portions, wherein the second portions extend in a direction away from the part of the extension and are spaced apart from each other,
- wherein an outer diameter of the single head is greater than an outer diameter of an outer circumferential surface of the pipe.
A vacuum adiabatic body, comprising:
- a first plate having a first opening;
- a second plate having a second opening;
- a vacuum space provided between the first plate and the second plate;
- a pipe configured to connect the first opening to the second opening and including an inner circumferential surface defining an inner diameter and an outer circumferential surface defining an outer diameter;
- a pipeline to pass through the first and second openings and configured to allow a material to pass therein;
- and
- a guide plate to couple to a first end of the pipe and having a hole connected to the first opening of the first plate, wherein an outer diameter of the guide plate is greater than the outer diameter of the outer circumferential surface of the pipe.
