Sealing Structure For A Central Wall For A Refrigerator, And A Refrigerator Having The Same

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a sealing structure for a central wall for a refrigerator, and a refrigerator including the same. The sealing structure includes a refrigerating chamber inner case having a bent, angled or curved portion and a protrusion at one end; a freezer inner case having a bent, angled or curved portion and a protrusion at one end; a central wall which partitions the refrigerating chamber and freezer inner cases; a partition plate having bent, angled or curved portions at sides and / or a front surface thereof, seating grooves configured to receive the protrusions, and flanges at ends and / or a rear surface thereof, at or on a front surface of the central wall; a heat radiating pipe between the refrigerating chamber inner case and the freezer inner case; and a first supporting member on or in the bent, angled or curved portion of the refrigerating chamber inner case.

Problems solved by technology

[0010] However, when the thicknesses of the refrigerating chamber 4 and the freezing chamber 5 are equal to or less than a predetermined thickness, when molding (for example, foam molding) the refrigerating chamber 4 and the freezing chamber 5, the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber may be bent, angled or arc

[0011] When the inner boxes of the refrigerating chamber 4 and the freezing chamber 5 are bent, angled, or arc-shaped, the assembly gap of the intermediate wall 6 may widen, and condensation that causes user inconvenience may be formed in the middle due to the widening of the assembly gap Wall 6

As a result, the freezer door 8 may not be easily opened because condensation on the freezer door 8 or the freezer gasket may freeze on the intermediate wall 6 due to the cold air in the freezer 5
