Abstract
A refrigerator and a method for manufacturing the same. The refrigerator includes a main body which has a specified space and a open front surface, and a plate having a specified thickness, in which the plate is inserted into the main body through one side of the open front surface of the main body to sectionalize the space provided in the main body.
Claims13
A method for manufacturing a refrigerator, the method comprising:
- manufacturing a main body which encloses a specified space and has an open front surface, the step of manufacturing the main body including:
- providing a first formation portion at one side of an upper end of an inner surface of the main body;
- and
- providing a second formation portion at one side of a lower end of the inner surface of the main body;
- manufacturing a plate having a specified thickness, the step of manufacturing the plate including:
- forming a first coupling portion at the upper end of the plate to be coupled to the first formation portion;
- and
- forming a second coupling portion at the lower end of the plate to be coupled to the second formation portion;
- and
- manufacturing a packing member coupled to at least one of the formation portions and at least one of the coupling portions such that the plate is inserted into and fixed to the main body to pack the inner space divided by the plate;
- and
- coupling the plate with the main body by the packing member through one side of the open front surface of the main body to sectionalize the space provided in the main body.

A refrigerator, comprising:
- a main body enclosing an inner space;
- and
- a plate inserted into the main body to divide the inner space into a plurality of cooling chambers,
- wherein the main body includes a formation portion disposed on at least one of one side of an upper end of an inner surface of the main body and one side of a lower end of the inner surface of the main body and configured to guide the plate into the main body and to couple the plate to the main body, and
- wherein the refrigerator further includes:
- a coupling portion disposed on at least one of an upper end and a lower end of the plate and configured to correspond to the formation portion;
- and
- a packing member coupled to the formation portion and the coupling portion such that the plate is inserted into and fixed to the main body to pack the inner space divided by the plate.
