Abstract
A refrigerator includes a main body, a freezing compartment and a refrigerating compartment disposed inside the main body, an evaporator disposed in a cooling flow path and provided to supply cold air to the freezing compartment, a freezing compartment duct disposed in the freezing compartment to supply cold air generated by the evaporator to the freezing compartment, an ice maker disposed inside the main body, a water supply pipe provided to penetrate the cooling flow path to be directed to the ice maker, and a cover member coupled to the freezing compartment duct to block a movement of air between a cooling flow path and the freezing compartment.
Claims20
A refrigerator comprising:
- a main body;
- a freezing compartment and a refrigerating compartment disposed inside the main body;
- an evaporator provided to supply cold air to the freezing compartment;
- a freezing compartment duct disposed in the freezing compartment to supply cold air generated by the evaporator to the freezing compartment;
- a first cooling flow path formed at a rear of the freezing compartment duct, wherein the evaporator is disposed in the first cooling flow path;
- a second cooling flow path formed inside the freezing compartment duct so that air passed through the first cooling flow path moves to the freezing compartment;
- an ice maker disposed inside the main body;
- a water supply pipe provided to penetrate the first cooling flow path and the second cooling flow path to be directed to the ice maker;
- and
- a cover member coupled to the freezing compartment duct,
- wherein the freezing compartment duct comprises:
- a duct plate forming a front surface of the freezing compartment duct,
- a duct cover coupled to a rear side of the duct plate to form the second cooling flow path, and
- a passing hole provided on the duct plate and the duct cover to allow the water supply pipe to pass the passing hole, and
- wherein the cover member is coupled to a front side of the duct plate to block a movement of air between the first cooling flow path and the freezing compartment and provided to cover the passing hole.
