Abstract
A refrigerator includes a cold air supply device received in an insulating partition that defines a storage compartment into upper and lower storage compartments. As cold air is supplied into the storage compartment below the insulating partition through the cold air supply device, the refrigerator has enhanced productivity and interior volume efficiency.
Claims1
A refrigerator comprising:
- a body including an outer shell and inner shell defining a first insulating partition to provide a refrigerator storage compartment and a freezing storage compartment divided from each other by the first insulating partition;
- a second insulating partition to divide the refrigerator storage compartment into a first refrigerator storage compartment and a second refrigerator storage compartment, the second insulating partition having a cold air discharge hole perforated in a position of the second insulating partition;
- a first evaporator provided to supply cold air into the first refrigerator storage compartment;
- a second evaporator provided to supply cold air into the freezing storage compartment;
- and
- a cold air supply device coupled to an upper surface of a rear portion of the second insulating partition to supply the cold air to be slanted downward, from the second evaporator, to the second refrigerator storage compartment below the cold air supply device,
- wherein the first insulating partition is pre-formed together with the inner shell of the body,
- wherein the second insulating partition is formed independently from the inner shell and separately attached to a guide groove formed in the inner shell of the body before an insulation foam filling stage to fill space between the outer shell and the inner shell with a foam material.
