In addition, the cover member can be combined with one side of the body using the curved portion.

[0040] Fourth, the cover member can be combined with the curved portion and the drawer guide disposed on one side (for example, the inner side) of the body, respectively.

[0041] Thus, the cover member can improve the convenience of the manufacturing and / or assembly of the thermal insulation body. In addition, the cover member surrounds at least one side of the thermal insulation body, thereby improving the thermal insulation performance. Also, the cover member is advantageous in securing the strength of the thermal insulation body.

[0042] Fifth, the cover member is combined with the drawer guide without being directly combined with the first plate which is the thin plate portion of the thermal insulation body, and thus does not apply direct external force to the thin plate portion of the thermal insulation body, thereby being able to secure the safety of the vacuum thermal insulation panel.

[0043] Sixth, the cover member is filled with a thermal insulation member on one side (for example, the inner side). The thermal insulation member extends to the drawer guide, thereby being able to obtain the effect of thermally insulating the heat bridge which is a portion of the vacuum thermal insulation panel where heat loss is easily generated.

[0104] A refrigerator according to the present application includes a body 100 and / or a door (not shown). At least two panels of the body 100 form an appearance of the refrigerator. The body 100 can be composed of a plurality of panels.

[0105] For example, the at least two panels constituting the body 100 include one of first panels 101a, 101b, another of the first panels 101a, 101b, a second panel 102, a third panel 103, and / or a fourth panel 104.

As an example of the another side, a top of the refrigerator can be formed. One of the first panels 101a, 101b and / or another of the first panels 101a, 101b form yet another side of the refrigerator. As an example of the yet another side, a left side and / or a right side of the refrigerator can be formed. One of the first panels 101a, 101b and another of the first panels 101a, 101b can be composed of one of the first panels 101a, 101b and another of the first panels 101a, 101b disposed to face each other in a Y-axis direction.

[0106] ​​​​​​The fourth panel 104 can be provided with a mechanical chamber 117 described later. In the present embodiment, a state in which the mechanical chamber 117 is provided on one side of the fourth panel 104 is shown.

[0107] The vacuum heat insulator can form at least one or a part of at least one of the second panel 102, the third panel 103, one of the first panels 101a, 101b, the other of the first panels 101a, 101b, and the fourth panel 104. In the present embodiment, the second panel 102, the third panel 103, one of the first panels 101a, 101b, and / or the other of the first panels 101a, 101b are composed of the vacuum heat insulator. However, the fourth panel 104 described later is shown in a state of being composed of a non-vacuum heat insulator.

[0108] A storage chamber is formed inside the body 100. The storage chamber is formed to be open toward one side (for example, the front) of the body 100. The storage chamber includes a first storage chamber 106 and a second storage chamber 107. The second storage chamber 107 can maintain a predetermined first temperature, for example, -20?. However, it is not limited to the predetermined first temperature. The first storage chamber 106 can maintain a predetermined second temperature, for example, +5?. However, it is not limited to the predetermined second temperature.

[0109] The storage chamber is a space formed to be thermally insulated to maintain a temperature lower than the normal temperature, blocking heat exchange with the outside of the body 100.

[0110] The first storage chamber 106 and / or the second storage chamber 107 can be arranged to be spaced apart in the Z-axis direction or the Y-axis direction of the body 100.

[0111] The door includes a first storage chamber door 109 and / or a second storage chamber door 110. The first storage chamber door 109 is provided on one side (for example, the front) of the body 100 and is formed to open and close the first storage chamber 106. The second storage chamber door 110 is provided on one side (for example, the front) of the body 100 and is formed to open and close the second storage chamber 107.

[0112] The first storage chamber 106 and the second storage chamber 107 can be divided by a partition wall 108. The partition wall 108 can extend from one face of one of the first panels 101a, 101b to one face of the other of the first panels 101a, 101b in one direction (for example, horizontally) of the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction.

[0113] The partition wall 108 can be located upward from the fourth panel 104 to between 1 / 3 and 2 / 3 of the height between the third panel 103 and the fourth panel 104. In the present embodiment, the state in which the partition wall 108 is located approximately at 1 / 3 of the height upward from the fourth panel 104 is shown.

[0114] The partition wall 108 can be formed in a rectangular shape. The partition wall 108 can have a thickness in the Z-axis direction. The partition wall 108 can extend in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction to be longer than the thickness.

[0115] An opening portion is formed in one side of the body 100. A storage article (for example, food) to be stored in the storage compartment can be taken in and out of the storage compartment through the opening portion. One side (for example, the inner side) of the door can be configured to be connectable with one side of the body 100, and can seal the storage compartment using the gasket 112 described later.

[0116] The gasket 112 is disposed between one side (for example, the inner side) of the door and one side of the body 100. In the present embodiment, the state in which the gasket 112 is combined with one side (for example, the inner side) of the door is shown. A gasket combining portion 1121 is protrusively formed in one side (for example, the inner side) of the gasket 112 toward one side (for example, the inner side) of the door. A gasket combining portion is recessively formed in one side (for example, the inner side) of the door toward the protruding direction of the gasket combining portion 1121. The gasket combining portion 1121 is combined with the gasket combining portion. Thereby, the gasket 112 can be combined with one side (for example, the inner side) of the door.

[0117] The gasket 112 can be made of a material having elasticity such as a rubber material. The gasket 112 can maintain the air tightness between the door and the body 100 when the door is closed. However, a magnet 113 having magnetism can be built in one side (for example, the inner side) of the gasket 112. Thereby, the tightness of the door and the body 100 can be ensured using the magnetism of the magnet 113 built in the gasket 112.

[0118] The refrigerator is configured to prevent surface condensation phenomenon due to the temperature difference between the inside and the outside of the cabinet using a heat line 114.

[0119] The heat line 114 is a component that emits heat. For example, the heat line 114 can be formed in an extended circular tube shape to allow a refrigerant to flow inside thereof. The heat line 114 can be connected with a condenser 119 to receive heat generated in the condenser 119 and emit heat. The heat line 114 transmits heat to the connecting surface of the first storage compartment door 109 or / and the second storage compartment door 110, thereby functioning to prevent condensation phenomenon due to the temperature difference between the inside and the outside of the refrigerator.

[0120] The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the case of the second storage compartment 107 can be greater than that of the first storage compartment 106. Accordingly, the heat line 114 can be applied to the second storage compartment 107, compared to the first storage compartment 106. In the present embodiment, a state in which the heat line 114 is applied to the second storage compartment 107 is shown.

[0121] The first storage compartment 106 can be formed at a portion of the plurality of first panels 101a, 101b, a portion of the second panel 102, a side (e.g., an inner side) of each of the third panel 103, and / or a side of the partition wall 108. The second storage compartment 107 can be formed at another portion of the plurality of first panels 101a, 101b, a side (e.g., an inner side) of another portion of the second panel 102, another side of the partition wall 108, and / or a side (e.g., an inner side) of the fourth panel 104.

[0122] A portion of the heat line 114 is disposed at one side of the body 100. For convenience of explanation, the portion of the heat line 114 can be named as a first heat line 115. The first heat line 115 can be disposed at one side of another portion of the plurality of first panels 101a, 101b, the partition wall 108, and / or the fourth panel 104, which form the second storage compartment 107. The one side of another portion of the plurality of first panels 101a, 101b, the partition wall 108, and / or the fourth panel 104 faces one side (e.g., an inner side) of the door. The first heat line 115 can be formed by bending one circular tube into a closed loop shape.

[0123] The first heat line 115 can be formed in a polygonal shape or a substantially rectangular shape. The first heat line can include one or more of a first side, a second side, a third side, a fourth side, and a fifth side. According to the present embodiment, a first side 1151 (an upstream side) of the first heat line 115 can extend in one direction, as an example, in a +Y axis direction (a right direction), from a central portion of one side of the fourth panel 104, as a reference based on a flow direction of the refrigerant (an anticlockwise direction when viewed from the front).

[0124] A second side 1152 of the first heat line 115 can be bent and extended in another direction, as an example, in a +Z axis direction (an upward direction), from the first side 1151 of the first heat line 115 along one side of the first panel 101a or one of the plurality of first panels 101a, 101b, as a reference based on the flow direction of the refrigerant.

[0125] A third side 1153 of the first heat line 115 can be bent and extended in yet another direction, as an example, in a -Y axis direction (a left direction), from the second side 1152 of the first heat line 115 along one side of the partition wall 108, as a reference based on the flow direction of the refrigerant.

[0126] The fourth side 1154 of the first heat line 115 can be curved and extended in another direction from the third side 1153 of the first heat line 115 along one side of the first panel 101b or along one side of another one of the plurality of first panels 101a, 101b, as an example, - in the Z-axis direction (downward).

[0127] The fifth side 1155 (downstream side) of the first heat line 115 can be extended from a side edge corner of the fourth panel 104 along one side of the fourth panel 104 in a direction toward a central portion of the one side of the fourth panel 104 or to the central portion of the one side of the fourth panel 104, as an example, in the +Y-axis direction (right direction) toward the central portion of the one side of the fourth panel 104 or to the central portion of the one side of the fourth panel 104.

[0128] The first side 1151 of the first heat line 115 and the fifth side 1155 of the first heat line 115 can be combined to intersect and connect with each other. For example, the first side 1151 of the first heat line 115 and the fifth side 1155 of the first heat line 115 can be sealed or combined by welding or the like.

[0129] However, the first side 1151 of the first heat line 115 and the fifth side 1155 of the first heat line 115 are combined in a state of being separated from each other. For example, the first side 1151 of the first heat line 115 and the fifth side 1155 of the first heat line 115 are located at both side ends of the first heat line 115 having a closed loop shape. The refrigerant flowing along the first heat line 115 can move from the first side 1151 of the first heat line 115 in the counterclockwise direction toward the fifth side 1155 of the first heat line 115.

[0130] The first heat line 115 can be combined with one side (for example, the inner side) of the cover member 142 (also referred to as a front garnish) to be shielded by the cover member 142 to be described later.

[0131] Another portion of the heat line 114 is disposed inside the mechanical chamber 117. For convenience of description, the other portion of the heat line 114 can be named as a second heat line 116.

[0132] The first portion 1161 of the second heat line 116 can extend from an outlet of the condenser 119 to be described later toward one side of the mechanical chamber 117 to be described later. Here, the one side of the mechanical chamber 117, as an example of the one side, can refer to the front side of the mechanical chamber 117. The first portion 1161 of the second heat line 116 is connected with the outlet of the condenser 119 and the first side 1151 of the first heat line 115.

[0133] The second portion 1162 of the second hot line 116 can extend from one side of the mechanical chamber 117 toward the expander 120 described later. The second portion 1162 of the second hot line 116 is connected to the fifth side 1155 of the first hot line 115 and / or the expander 120.

[0134] The first portion 1161 and the second portion 1162 of the second hot line 116 can be arranged apart from each other. However, a part of the first portion 1161 of the second hot line 116 connected to the first side 1151 of the first hot line 115 and a part of the second portion 1162 of the second hot line 116 connected to the fifth side 1155 of the first hot line 115 can be arranged adjacent to each other and combined.

[0135] The cover constituting the mechanical chamber 117 includes one of the first covers 1171a, 1171b, the other of the first covers 1171a, 1171b, the second cover 1172, the third cover 1173, and / or the fourth cover 1174. The second cover 1172 forms one side of the mechanical chamber 117. As an example of the one side, the back surface of the mechanical chamber 117 can be formed. The third cover 1173 forms another side of the mechanical chamber 117. As an example of the another side, the front surface of the mechanical chamber 117 can be formed. One of the first covers 1171a, 1171b and the other of the first covers 1171a, 1171b form further sides of the mechanical chamber 117, respectively. As an example of the further sides, the left side surface and the right side surface of the mechanical chamber 117 can be formed, respectively. One of the first covers 1171a, 1171b and the other of the first covers 1171a, 1171b can be arranged facing each other in the Y-axis direction.

The duct includes a first duct 124 and a second duct 125.

[0145] The first duct 124 extends in one direction. The first duct 124 is configured to isolate an internal space of the mechanical chamber 117 and the condenser 119.

[0148] The condenser 119 and / or the compressor 118 are combined with the fourth cover 1174. Since the refrigeration cycle device accommodated inside the mechanical chamber 117 is combined in the fourth cover 1174, the fourth cover 1174 can be named as a bottom cover.

[0149] The condenser 119 and / or the first pipe 124 can be located in a portion (e.g., a central portion) between the second cover 1172 and the third cover 1173. The compressor 118 and / or the second pipe 125 can be located in a portion (e.g., a central portion) between the second cover 1172 and the third cover 1173. The interval between the condenser 119 and the first pipe 124 and the second cover 1172 can be the same as the interval between the condenser 119 and the first pipe 124 and the third cover 1173. The interval between the compressor 118 and the second pipe 125 and the second cover 1172 can be the same as the interval between the compressor 118 and the second pipe 125 and the third cover 1173.

[0150] The condenser 119 can be disposed close to the first cover 1171a, 1171b. The compressor 118 can be disposed close to the second cover 1172.

The other side of the drain 128 can be formed to pass through the fourth cover 1174. Thus, defrosting water or the like generated in the evaporator can be discharged to the outside through the drain 128.

[0155] A three-way valve 122 can be disposed between the second cover 1172 and the second pipe 125. The three-way valve 122 can be controlled to receive a signal of a control portion that is responsible for overall control of the freezing cycle device. The three-way valve 122 is configured to change a flow path of the refrigerant or switch a flow direction of the refrigerant according to the control signal.

[0157] An expander 120 can be disposed between the second cover 1172 and the second pipe 125. The expander 120 can be equipped as a capillary tube. The capillary tube is formed in a circular tube shape with a small diameter. For example, the capillary tube is formed to have a diameter smaller than a circulating pipe, for example, a diameter smaller than a refrigerant pipe connecting the drier 121 and the three-way valve 122. Thus, the capillary tube can expand the refrigerant. The capillary tube can be composed of at least two. Thus, the capillary tube can improve heat exchange efficiency.

[0158] One side of the capillary tube is disposed adjacent to the second cover 1172. The other side of the capillary tube is disposed apart from the second pipe 125.

[0159] A printed circuit board 130 can be disposed between the third cover 1173 and the second pipe 125. The printed circuit board 130 can incorporate electronic components for implementing a control portion responsible for overall control of the refrigerator.

[0160] The printed circuit board 130 is formed in a rectangular plate shape. The printed circuit board 130 is disposed in one direction (for example, horizontally) on the fourth cover 1174.

The third cover 1173 can be detachably coupled to the mechanical chamber 117 on a side (for example, the front side) where the mechanical chamber 117 is formed. Thus, the third cover 1173 is disposed on the front side of the mechanical chamber 117, and thus, has the advantage of allowing a worker to easily perform maintenance such as failure repair of the printed circuit board 130.

[0162] A wire harness 131 can be disposed between the other one of the plurality of first covers 1171a, 1171b and the compressor 118. The wire harness 131 refers to a bundle of electric wires for applying power to electrical components of the refrigerator and signal lines for transmitting and receiving signals.

[0163] One side of the wire harness 131 is electrically connected to the printed circuit board 130. The other side of the wire harness 131 can be electrically connected to the electrical components such as the motor. The wire harness 131 can extend along one side of the other one of the first covers 1171a, 1171b. The wire harness 131 extends to bypass the compressor 118.

[0164] The second heat line 116 is configured to bypass the circulating components accommodated in the interior of the mechanical chamber 117, for example, the condenser 119, the compressor 118, the printed circuit board 130, etc.

[0165] As described above, the first portion 1161 of the second heat line 116 and the second portion 1162 of the second heat line 116 are connected with the first heat line 115 or are disposed apart from each other. Thereby, there is an advantage that interference of the heat line 114 and the circulating member is easily avoided.

A portion of the first portion 1161 of the second heat line 116 can extend in a direction apart from one of the first covers 1171a, 1171b by a predetermined interval and / or in parallel. A portion of the first portion 1161 of the second heat line 116 can be disposed apart from the cooling fan 123 by a predetermined interval in a direction. The interval between a portion of the first portion 1161 of the second heat line 116 and one of the first covers 1171a, 1171b is smaller than the interval between the portion of the first portion 1161 of the second heat line 116 and the cooling fan 123. Thereby, the first portion 1161 of the second heat line 116 is easily prevented from interfering with the condenser 119 and / or the cooling fan 123 and the like.

[0168] A portion of the first portion 1161 of the second heat line 116 can be disposed adjacent to the fourth cover 1174. Thereby, interference with the condenser 119 and / or the cooling fan 123 and the like is easily avoided.

[0169] A portion of the first portion 1161 of the second heat line 116 can be disposed adjacent to the third cover 1173. Thereby, connection of the portion of the first portion 1161 of the second heat line 116 with the first side 1151 of the first heat line 115 is easily performed. Coupling of the heat line 114 with the cover member 142 is easily performed.

[0170] A portion of the first portion 1161 of the second heat line 116 is formed inclined with respect to the third cover 1173. For example, a portion of the first portion 1161 of the second heat line 116 can extend in a first direction along the fourth cover 1174 and / or another portion of the first portion 1161 of the second heat line 116 can extend curvedly in a second direction different from the first direction along the third cover 1173. At this time, the inclined portion of the first portion 1161 of the second heat line 116 is easily prevented from interfering with other circulating members (for example, the printed circuit board 130 and the like).

[0171] A portion of the second portion 1162 of the second hot line 116 can extend from the fifth side 1155 of the first hot line 115 toward the expander 120. The portion of the second portion 1162 of the second hot line 116 extends through a portion of the first duct 124.

[0172] A portion of the second portion 1162 of the second hot line 116 can extend in a direction spaced apart from and / or parallel to the first cover 1171a by a predetermined interval. A portion of the second portion 1162 of the second hot line 116 can extend in a direction spaced apart from and / or parallel to one of the first covers 1171a, 1171b by a predetermined interval. A portion of the second portion 1162 of the second hot line 116 can be configured to be spaced apart from a portion of the first portion 1161 of the second hot line 116 by a predetermined interval in a direction. The interval between the portion of the second portion 1162 of the second hot line 116 and one of the first covers 1171a, 1171b is greater than the interval between the portion of the second portion 1162 of the second hot line 116 and the portion of the first portion 1161 of the second hot line 116. Thus, the second portion 1162 of the second hot line 116 can easily avoid interference with components such as the condenser 119 and / or the cooling fan 123. The second portion 1162 of the second hot line 116 can be disposed apart from the first covers 1171a, 1171b, thereby minimizing leakage of heat generated in the second hot line 116. In contrast, a portion of the first portion 1161 of the second hot line 116 can be configured to be connected to a portion of an outer wall of the mechanical chamber 117 to dissipate heat. As an example of the outer wall, the third cover 1173 can be connected.

[0173] A portion of the second portion 1162 of the second hot line 116 can be disposed adjacent to the fourth cover 1174. Thus, interference with components such as the condenser 119 and / or the cooling fan 123 can be easily avoided.

[0174] A portion of the second portion 1162 of the second hot line 116 can be disposed adjacent to the third cover 1173. Thus, connection of the portion of the second portion 1162 of the second hot line 116 to the fifth side 1155 of the first hot line 115 is easy. Coupling of the hot line 114 to the cover member 142 is easy.

[0175] A portion of the first section 1161 of the second hot wire 116 is led out from the machine chamber 117. A portion of the first section 1161 of the second hot wire 116 can be led out through the lead-out portion 1451 of the cover member 142. The lead-out portion 1451 can be provided on one side of the cover member 142 that covers one side of the fourth panel 104. Here, "one side of the fourth panel 104" can refer to the front of the fourth panel 104. "One side of the cover member 142" can refer to the central portion of the cover member 142. The lead-out portion 1451 can be formed to penetrate one side of the cover member 142. The lead-out portion 1451 can be connected in communication with the machine chamber 117.

[0176] Based on the flow direction of the refrigerant flowing along the hot wire 114, the downstream side of the first part 1161 of the second hot wire 116 can be led out from the machine room 117 through the lead-out part 1451 and connected to the upstream side of the first side 1151 of the first hot wire 115.

[0177] The downstream side of the first portion 1161 of the second hot wire 116 may extend along a first direction and / or extend in a curved manner in a second direction different from the first direction through the lead-out portion 1451, and / or may be connected to the upstream side of the first side 1151 of the first hot wire 115.

[0178] Based on the flow direction of the refrigerant flowing along the hot wire 114, the downstream side of the fifth side 1155 of the first hot wire 115 can be introduced into the machine room 117 through the lead-out part 1451 and connected to the upstream side of the second part 1162 of the second hot wire 116.

[0179] The downstream side of the fifth side 1155 of the first hot wire 115 may extend along the second direction and / or extend in a curved manner in a first direction different from the second direction through the lead-out portion 1451, and / or may be connected to the upstream side of the second portion 1162 of the second hot wire 116.

[0180] The upstream side of the first side 1151 of the first hot wire 115 and the downstream side of the fifth side 1155 of the first hot wire 115 are arranged adjacent to each other on the side of the lead-out portion 1451, which is a cover member 142 extending to cover one side of the fourth panel 104.

[0181] The downstream side of the first portion 1161 of the second hot wire 116 and the upstream side of the second portion 1162 of the second hot wire 116 are arranged adjacent to each other on the side of the lead-out portion 1451, which is a cover member 142 extending to cover one side of the fourth panel 104.

[0182] Thus, a portion of the heat line 114, which is led out from the machine room 117 to one side of the body 100, can be easily connected via the lead-out portion 1451 of the cover member 142.

[0183] A portion of the second portion 1162 of the second heat line 116 is formed to be inclined with respect to the third cover 1173. For example, one portion of the second portion 1162 of the second heat line 116 can extend in a first direction along the fourth cover 1174 and / or another portion of the second portion 1162 of the second heat line 116 can extend in a second direction different from the first direction along the third cover 1173. At this time, the inclined portion of the first portion 1161 of the second heat line 116 is likely to interfere with other circulating components (e.g., the printed circuit board 130, etc.).

[0184] One portion of the first portion 1161 of the second heat line 116 and one portion of the second portion 1162 of the second heat line 116 can be disposed at a corner where one of the first covers 1171a, 1171b and the third cover 1173 meet.

The curved portion 134 is formed to be curved from the one side of the second plate 133a, 133b in a second direction different from the first direction. Here, the second direction can be a Y-axis direction.

[0188] According to such a configuration, the curved portion 134 can improve the strength of the vacuum insulation panel, and thus, when the vacuum insulation panel is manufactured, distortion of the shape of the panel due to vacuum and high-temperature exhaust can be prevented.

[0189] The curved portion 134 can be applied in the conduction of the heat line 114 and the coupling cover member 142 described later.

[0191] The length of the curved portion 134 extending in the second direction can be formed to be smaller than the side length of the vacuum space portion. The second direction length of the curved portion 134 can be formed to be smaller than the interval of the second plate 133a, 133b and the first plate 132a, 132b. The length of the curved portion 134 is preferably half the length of the side of the vacuum space portion.

The first thermal insulator 138a can be composed of polyurethane foam. Thereby, the first thermal insulator 138a can enhance the thermal insulation performance of the vacuum thermal insulator that insulates heat leakage between the outside and the inside of the cabinet. Alternatively, even in the case where the first thermal insulator 138a is not provided between the drawer guide 137 and the first plate 132a, 132b, the hollow space between the drawer guide 137 and the first plate 132a, 132b can obtain the effect of insulating heat leakage between the outside and the inside of the cabinet.

[0198] A portion of the first plate 132a, 132b can not apply the inner case 139. The first thermal insulation 138a can extend to the portion of the first plate 132a, 132b to which the inner case 139 is not applied.

[0199] Optionally, a second thermal insulation 138b can be provided between the curved portion 134 and the side plate 135a, 135b. The second thermal insulation 138b can be composed of polyurethane foam.

Optionally, the second thermal insulation 138b can not be provided between the curved portion 134 and the side plate 135a, 135b.

[0200] The first heat line 115 can be disposed in connection with the curved portion 134. The curved portion 134 can be composed of a metal material together with the second plate 133a, 133b. The curved portion 134 can transfer heat generated in the first heat line 115 to the outer wall of the refrigerator having a low temperature.

[0201] An outer case 140 can be coupled to the outside of the second plate 133a, 133b. The outer case 140 can increase the strength of the second plate 133a, 133b. The outer case 140 can protect the second plate 133a, 133b from external impact. On one side of the outer case 140, the curved portion 134 can be formed in the second direction. For convenience, the curved portion 134 of the second plate 133a, 133b can be named as a first curved portion 134. The curved portion 1401 of the outer case 140 can be named as a second curved portion 134. The second curved portion 134 is formed to cover the first curved portion 134.

Here, the second plate 133a, 133b of the first panel 101a, 101b can form the left side surface of the refrigerator. The first face of the door can form the left side surface of the door.

[0206] The first panel 101a, 101b includes a support 136a, 136b disposed between the first plate 132a, 132b and the second plate 133a, 133b. The support 136a, 136b includes one or more of a first support plate 1361a, 1361b, a bar 1363a, 1363b, and a second support plate 1362a, 1362b. The first support plate 1361a, 1361b extends along the first plate 132a, 132b and is formed to support one side of the first plate 132a, 132b. The second support plate 1362a, 1362b extends along the second plate 133a, 133b and is formed to support one side of the second plate 133a, 133b.

[0207] The plurality of bars 1363a, 1363b are disposed apart along the length direction of the first support plate and / or the second support plate 1362a, 1362b. One side of the bar 1363a, 1363b is connected to the first support plate 1361a, 1361b and / or the other side of the bar 1363a, 1363b is connected to the second support plate 1362a, 1362b. Thereby, the first plate 132a, 132b and the second plate 133a, 133b are disposed apart by a predetermined interval in one direction.

[0208] A portion of the door can be configured of a vacuum heat insulator. Another portion of the door can be configured of a heat insulating block 141 which is a non-vacuum heat insulator. The non-vacuum heat insulator can be configured of a polyurethane (PU) foam. The portion of the door configured of the vacuum heat insulator is disposed toward one side (e.g., an outer side) of the body 100. The other portion of the door configured of the non-vacuum heat insulator is disposed toward one side (e.g., an inner side) of the body 100.

[0209] A portion of the heat insulating block 141 can be protrusively formed toward one side (e.g., an inner side) of the door at which the first space formed in the inner side of the body 100.

[0210] Figure 16 is a conceptual view illustrating a state in which the heat wire 114 is combined with the cover member 142 and / or connected to one side (e.g., an outer side) of the curved portion 134 of the second plate 133a, 133b according to the present application.

[0211] The first heat wire 115 is combined with the cover member 142. The cover member 142 is formed to cover the first heat wire 115. Thereby, the first heat wire 115 is shielded by the cover member 142 and is not exposed to the outside. The cover member 142 can shield the first heat wire 115 to make the appearance beautiful. Thereby, since the cover member 142 makes the appearance beautiful and / or is disposed at the front of the body 100, it can be named as a front decoration according to the prefix of a decoration.

[0212] A portion of the thermal insulation member combined with one side (e.g., an inner side) of the first panel 101a, 101b can be formed to be inclined to avoid interference with the thermal insulation block 141 of the door.

[0213] The cover member 142 includes a heat wire accommodation portion 146. The heat wire accommodation portion 146 is formed to accommodate the first heat wire 115. The heat wire accommodation portion 146 is configured to surround the first heat wire 115. The heat wire accommodation portion 146 can be formed integrally with the cover member 142, or can be separately manufactured and combined with the cover member 142. In the present embodiment, a state in which the heat wire accommodation portion 146 is formed integrally with the cover member 142 is shown.

[0214] One side of the cover member 142 is formed to surround one face of the first panel 101a, 101b. The other side of the cover member 142 is formed to surround a portion of the drawer guide 137. In the case where the drawer guide 137 is not present, the other side of the cover member 142 is formed to surround a portion of the first panel 132a, 132b or a portion of the first thermal insulation member 138a of the thermal insulation body.

[0215] The cover member 142 can be composed of a first cover member 142a and / or a second cover member 142b. The first cover member 142a extends in one direction in parallel with the first panel 132a, 132b to surround a portion of the first panel 132a, 132b. The second cover member 142b extends from the first cover member 142a in the other direction. The second cover member 142b is formed to surround the side panel 135a, 135b and the curved portion 134.

[0216] The cover member 142 is composed of a material different from the metal material of the second panel 133a, 133b. The cover member 142 can be formed of a resin of a polymer series having a lower thermal conductivity than the second panel 133a, 133b.

[0217] A first coupling portion 143 is provided at one side of the first cover member 142a. The first coupling portion 143 can be implemented in the form of a hook or a protrusion. The first coupling portion 143 can be coupled with the drawer guide 137. A coupling portion 144 can be formed at one side of the drawer guide 137. The coupling portion 144 can be formed in the form of a groove. The hook or the protrusion of the first coupling portion 143 can be inserted into the coupling portion 144 coupled to the first cover member 142a. However, the form of the first coupling portion 143 is not limited thereto, and instead, a coupling groove can be formed at the first coupling portion 143 and / or a hook or a protrusion can be protrusively formed at the drawer guide 137.

[0218] A heat wire accommodation portion 146 can be provided at one side of the second cover member 142b. The heat wire accommodation portion 146 includes a first wall 1461 and / or a second wall 1463 protruding from the second cover member 142b toward the curved portion 134. The first wall 1461 is disposed toward one side (e.g., the outer side) of the second plate 133a, 133b. The first wall 1461 can form the same plane as the second plate 133a, 133b.

[0219] A bent portion 1462 can be formed at the end of the first wall 1461. The bent portion 1462 can improve the strength of the heat wire accommodation portion 146. The bent portion 1462 is bent from the first wall 1461 in the same direction as the bending direction of the curved portion 134, and thus can be connected with the first heat wire 115. The bent portion 1462 is formed to be shorter than the curved portion 134. Thus, the bent portion 1462 can restrict the movement of the first heat wire 115.

[0220] The second wall 1463 is disposed toward one side (e.g., the inner side) of the second plate 133a, 133b. The protruding length of the second wall 1463 can be formed to be longer than the protruding length of the first wall 1461. A second coupling portion 1464 can be provided at the end of the second wall 1463. The second coupling portion 1464 can be protrusively formed in the form of a coupling groove, a hook, or a protrusion. In the present embodiment, a state in which the second coupling portion 1464 is formed in the form of a hook is shown.

[0221] An accommodation hole can be formed through in one direction between the first wall 1461 and the second wall 1463 to be able to accommodate the heat wire 114. The accommodation hole is toward the curved portion 134. When the cover member 142 is coupled to one face of the body 100, the accommodation hole can be covered by the curved portion 134.

[0222] A beveled portion 1466 can be formed at the corner where the first cover member 142a and the second cover member 142b meet. The beveled portion 1466 can prevent the door from interfering with the heat insulation block 141 provided at one side (e.g., the inner side) of the door when the door is opened and closed.

[0223] The cover member 142 can be coupled with a magnet 147 to secure the close contact force between the body 100 and the door when the door is closed. The magnet 147 can be disposed at one face (e.g., the inner face) of the second cover member 142b. The magnet 147 can be coupled with one side (e.g., the inner side) of the cover member 142 using various coupling means such as adhesion, hook coupling, a coupling groove, or a coupling protrusion. Thus, the magnet 147 pulls the door using magnetic interaction (i.e., attractive force) with the magnet 113 built in the gasket 112 of the door as an opposite object, and thus can provide the close contact force between the door and the body 100 when the door is closed.

[0224] In the following description, the heat wire 114 refers to the first heat wire 115 disposed at one face of the body 100.

[0225] Figure 17 FIG. 17 is a conceptual view illustrating a state in which the heat wire 114 is combined with the cover member 200 and / or the heat wire 114 is disposed on one side (e.g., the inner side) of the curved portion 134 of the second plate 133a, 133b according to another embodiment of the present application.

[0226] The present embodiment is different from the above-described Figure 16 embodiment in that the heat wire accommodation portion 205 is manufactured separately from the cover member 200 and combined with the cover member 200, and the heat wire 114 is disposed on one side (e.g., the inner side) of the curved portion 134.

[0227] The heat wire 114 is disposed in connection with one side (e.g., the inner side) of the curved portion 134. Thereby, the heat wire 114 can transmit heat to the second plate 133a, 133b through the curved portion 134, thereby preventing a surface dewing phenomenon of the refrigerator.

[0228] An outer case 140 can be disposed on one side (e.g., the outer side) of the second plate 133a, 133b. The outer case 140 can extend from the first panel 101a, 101b to the second panel 102. Thereby, the outer case 140 can improve the strength of the second plate 133a, 133b, thereby preventing a deformation phenomenon (also called unevenness) of the second plate 133a, 133b at the time of exhausting the vacuum space portion.

[0229] An inner case 139 can be disposed on the inner side or the outer side of the first plate 132a, 132b. Here, the outer side is a side facing the first space formed on the inner side of the body 100. The inner case 139 can extend from the first panel 101a, 101b to the second panel 102. Thereby, the inner case 139 can improve the strength of the first plate 132a, 132b, thereby preventing a deformation phenomenon of the first plate 132a, 132b at the time of exhausting the vacuum space portion. In the case where the heat insulating member is filled in one side (e.g., the outer side) of the first plate 132a, 132b, the inner case 139 can allow the heat insulating member to be easily filled even without the drawer guide 137.

[0230] The heat wire accommodation portion 205 is accommodated in one side (e.g., the inner side) of the cover member 200. The heat wire accommodation portion 205 can be combined with one side (e.g., the inner side) of the cover member 200. One side of the heat wire accommodation portion 205 can be combined with one side (e.g., the inner side) of the first cover member 142a. The other side of the heat wire accommodation portion 205 can be combined with one side (e.g., the inner side) of the second plate 133a, 133b.

[0231] The other side of the hot wire receiving portion 205 includes a first support portion 206. The first support portion 206 protrudes from the other side of the hot wire receiving portion 205 toward the side plates 135a and 135b in a first direction. Here, the first direction, as an example, could refer to the X-axis direction. Thus, the first support portion 206 can be closely attached to one side of the hot wire 114, thereby restricting the hot wire 114 from moving in a second direction different from the first direction. Here, the second direction, as an example, could refer to the Y-axis direction.

[0232] The other side of the hot wire receiving portion 205 includes a second support portion 207. The second support portion 207 is formed protruding from the first support portion 206 toward the second plates 133a, 133b in a second direction different from the first direction. Thus, the second support portion 207 can be closely attached to the side of the hot wire 114 that is different from the first side, thereby restricting the movement of the hot wire 114 in the first direction.

[0233] The other side of the heat wire receiving portion 205 includes a third support portion 209. The third support portion 209 protrudes from the second support portion 207 toward the side plates 135a and 135b in the first direction. The protruding length of the third support portion 209 is configured to connect the third support portion 209 to a portion of the side plates 135a and 135b. The third support portion 209 can be closely attached to one side (e.g., the inner side) and / or the outer side of the side plates 135a and 135b. Thus, a portion of the heat wire receiving portion 205 can be closely attached to the corner where the side plates 135a and 135b and the second plates 133a and 133b intersect, thereby strengthening the mutual support between the vacuum insulation and the heat wire receiving portion 205.

[0234] A connecting hole 208 may be formed through one direction on one side of the hot wire receiving portion 205. Here, one direction may be the X-axis direction. The connecting hole 208 may be formed as a circle. The shape of the connecting hole 208 is not limited to this, and may be formed as a quadrilateral or other shapes.

[0235] A connecting protrusion 203 may be provided on one side (e.g., the inner side) of the cover member 200. The connecting protrusion 203 is formed protruding from one side (e.g., the inner side) of the second cover member 142b toward the connecting hole 208 of the hot wire receiving portion 205. The connecting protrusion 203 can be engaged by passing through the connecting hole 208. The connecting protrusion 203 and the connecting hole 208 can be engaged by an interference fit.

[0236] The length of the coupling protrusion 203 is formed to be able to be coupled to a side corner of the drawer guide 137 that intersects the first plate 132a, 132b. One side of the lengthwise end of the coupling protrusion 203 can be formed to be coupled to a portion of the side of the drawer guide 137, the first plate 132a, 132b, and / or the side plate 135a, 135b. One side of the lengthwise end of the coupling protrusion 203 can be formed to be coupled to a corner that is coupled by a portion of the side of the drawer guide 137, the first plate 132a, 132b, and the side plate 135a, 135b. Thereby, the support force between the cover member 200 and the vacuum adiabatic body can be strengthened.

[0237] A portion of the heating wire accommodation portion 205 can be disposed to overlap the curved portion 134 on one side (e.g., the inner side) of the curved portion 134. Another portion of the heating wire accommodation portion 205 can be disposed not to overlap the curved portion 134.

[0238] One side of the first cover member 142a can be adhered or coupled to the drawer guide 137. In the present embodiment, a state in which one side of the first cover member 142a and a side corner of the drawer guide 137 are in close contact with and / or adhered to each other is shown.

[0239] A protrusion 204 can be formed on one side (e.g., the inner side) of the second cover member 142b. The protrusion 204 can be provided as a plurality of protrusions. At least one or two first protrusions 204 of the protrusions 204 are formed to support another portion of the heating wire accommodation portion 205. Here, the other portion of the heating wire accommodation portion 205 protrudes from one side (e.g., the inner side) of the curved portion 134 toward the first cover member 142a. Thereby, there are advantages in that not only the support force for the other portion of the heating wire accommodation portion 205 that does not overlap the curved portion 134 can be ensured, but also the coupling of the heating wire accommodation portion 205 to the cover member 200 is easy.

[0240] At least one or two second protrusions 204 of the protrusions 204 protrude from the second cover member 142b toward the curved portion 1401 of the outer housing 140. The second protrusions 204 are disposed to be coupled to the curved portion 1401 of the outer housing 140. A magnet 147 can be coupled between the first protrusions 204 and the second protrusions 204.

[0241] The other configurations are the same as or similar to those of the above-described Figures 1 to 16 embodiment, and thus a repeated explanation will be omitted.

[0242] Figure 18 A state in which the heating wire accommodation portion 303 and the curved portion 301 according to another embodiment of the present application are coupled to each other is shown.

[0243] The present embodiment is the same as or similar to Figure 17The embodiment differs from the above-described embodiment in the combined structure of the cover member 300 and the bent portion 301.

[0244] The heat wire accommodating portion 303 is provided on one side (e.g., the inner side) of the bent portion 301. The first support portion 304 and / or the second support portion 305 of the heat wire accommodating portion 303 is configured to accommodate the heat wire 114. The first support portion 304 of the heat wire accommodating portion 303 extends in a first direction. Here, as an example of the first direction, it can refer to the X-axis direction. The first support portion 304 faces the second plate 133a, 133b across the heat wire 114. The first support portion 304 and the second plate 133a, 133b are arranged so as to overlap in the Y-axis direction described later. The first support portion 304 and / or the second plate 133a, 133b can restrict movement of the heat wire 114 in the Y-axis direction.

[0245] The second support portion 305 of the heat wire accommodating portion 303 extends from the first support portion 304 in a second direction different from the first direction. Here, as an example of the second direction, it can refer to the Y-axis direction. The second support portion 305 faces the bent portion 301 across the heat wire 114. The second support portion 305 and the bent portion 301 are arranged so as to overlap in the X-axis direction. The second support portion 305 and / or the bent portion 301 can restrict movement of the heat wire 114 in the X-axis direction.

[0246] A coupling hole is formed through the bent portion 301. A coupling member such as a screw can be coupled to the heat wire accommodating portion 303 described later by being passed through the coupling hole.

[0247] A boss portion 306 can be provided on the other side of the heat wire accommodating portion 303. The boss portion 306 is formed so as to protrude in the first direction from the other side of the heat wire accommodating portion 303 toward the side plate 135a, 135b. Here, as an example of the first direction, it can refer to the X-axis direction.

[0248] An internal thread portion can be formed on one side (e.g., the inner side) of the boss portion 306. The internal thread portion is coupled to a screw. Thus, the coupling member such as a screw is coupled to the boss portion 306, so that the bent portion 301 and the heat wire accommodating portion 303 can be coupled to each other. The cover member 300 can be coupled to the bent portion 301 via the heat wire accommodating portion 303.

[0249] The other configurations are the same as or similar to those of the above-described embodiment of the heat wire accommodating portion 403 and the bent portion 401, and thus repeated descriptions will be omitted. Figure 17

[0250] Figure 19 is a conceptual view showing a state in which the heat wire accommodating portion 403 and the bent portion 401 according to still another embodiment of the present application are coupled to each other.

[0251] The present embodiment is the same as or similar to the above-described embodiment of the heat wire accommodating portion 403 and the bent portion 401, and thus repeated descriptions will be omitted. Figure 16 ​The difference from the above-described embodiment is that the heat wire accommodation portion 403 and the cover member 412 are manufactured separately from each other and / or the heat wire accommodation portion 403 is combined with the curved portion 401.

[0252] The difference from the above-described embodiment is that the heat wire 114 is not connected with the curved portion 401. Figures 16 to 18

[0253] A portion of the curved portion 401 further extends convexly in a second direction not to overlap with the curved portion 411 of the outer housing 410 and / or to overlap with a portion of the heat wire accommodation portion 403. Here, as an example of the second direction, it can mean the Y-axis direction. The extension length of the curved portion 401 can be formed such that the ratio thereof to the side length of the vacuum space portion is greater than 1 / 2 and less than 1. The coupling hole 402 can be formed through the curved portion 401 in a first direction different from the first direction. The coupling protrusion 405 is formed convexly from the heat wire accommodation portion 403 toward the coupling hole 402. The coupling protrusion 405 can be coupled with the curved portion 401 through the coupling hole 402. The coupling protrusion 405 and / or the curved portion 401 can be coupled in an interference fit manner through the coupling hole 402.

[0254] The heat wire accommodation portion 403 is disposed at one side (for example, the outer side) of the curved portion 401.

[0255] One side of the first cover member 413 can be coupled with the drawer guide 416. The coupling protrusion 414 is formed convexly at one side of the first cover member 413. The protrusion accommodation groove 417 accommodating the coupling protrusion 414 can be formed concavely at one side of the drawer guide 416. The coupling protrusion 414 and the protrusion accommodation groove 417 can be formed in correspondence with each other to be engaged. The coupling protrusion 414 and the protrusion accommodation groove 417 can be coupled in an interference fit manner.

[0256] The heat wire 114 can be coupled at one side of the heat wire accommodation portion 403. The magnet 408 can be coupled at the other side of the heat wire accommodation portion 403. One side of the heat wire accommodation portion 403 is disposed to be connected with the curved portion 401 of the second plate 133a, 133b. The other side of the heat wire accommodation portion 403 is disposed to be connected with the curved portion 411 of the outer housing 410.

[0257] ​At least one or three accommodation walls are protrusively formed from the other side of the heat wire accommodation portion 403 facing the opposite direction of the coupling protrusion 405 toward the side (for example, the outer side) of the curved portion 401. The accommodation walls can include a first accommodation wall 406 toward the first cover member 413. The accommodation walls can include a second accommodation wall 407 toward the side (for example, the outer side) of the second plate 133a, 133b. The accommodation walls can include a third accommodation wall 408. The first accommodation wall 406 of the plurality of accommodation walls faces the first cover member 413. The second accommodation wall 407 of the plurality of accommodation walls faces the side (for example, the outer side) of the second plate 133a, 133b. The third accommodation wall 408 can be protrusively formed between the first accommodation wall 406 and the second accommodation wall 407.

[0258] A space capable of accommodating the heat wire 114 is formed between the second accommodation wall 407 and the third accommodation wall 408. A space capable of accommodating the magnet 408 is formed between the third accommodation wall 408 and the first accommodation wall 406. The first accommodation wall 406 can be connected to one side of the second cover member 415.

[0259] A first accommodation hole is formed between the second accommodation wall 407 and the third accommodation wall 408 toward the side (for example, the outer side) of the curved portion 401. The heat wire 114 can be accommodated and coupled through the first accommodation hole.

[0260] A second accommodation hole is formed between the third accommodation wall 408 and the first accommodation wall 406 toward the side (for example, the outer side) of the curved portion 401. The magnet 408 can be accommodated and coupled through the second accommodation hole.

[0261] The second cover member 415 can extend from the side of the first cover member 413 to cover the first accommodation hole and / or the second accommodation hole. One side of the second cover member 415 can be provided with a curved portion 411 surrounding the second accommodation wall 407. The curved portion 411 can be disposed to overlap the second accommodation wall 407 in one direction. Here, as an example of one direction, it can mean the Y-axis direction.

[0262] One side (for example, the inner side) of the curved portion 411 can be connected to one side of the second accommodation wall 407. One side (for example, the outer side) of the curved portion 411 can form the same plane as the second plate 133a, 133b or the outer housing 410.

[0263] One side of the heat wire accommodation portion 403 can be connected and / or supported to the outer housing 410 and / or the curved portion 401.

[0264] One side of the heat wire accommodation portion 403 can be disposed between the second cover member 415 and the outer case 410. One side of the heat wire accommodation portion 403 can be disposed between the second cover member 415 and the curved portion 401. Thereby, the heat wire 114 is not connected to the outer case 410 and / or the curved portion 401 due to one side of the heat wire accommodation portion 403. In the case where the heat wire 114 is connected to the outer case 410 or the curved portion 401, the anti-condensation effect can be improved. On the contrary, the heat provided from the condenser 119 can be transferred to the outer case 410 or the curved portion 401 through the heat wire 114, thereby increasing heat loss.

[0265] In the case where the heat wire 114 is not connected to the outer case 410 or the curved portion 401, the anti-condensation effect can be lowered. On the contrary, the heat loss provided from the condenser 119 can be reduced.

[0266] Thereby, the heat wire accommodation portion 403 and / or the cover member 412 surround the heat wire 114 and / or the magnet 408, and thus the thickness of the heat wire accommodation portion 403 and the cover member 412 can be optimized.

[0267] Other configurations are the same as or similar to those of the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 6, and thus a repeated explanation will be omitted. Figures 1 to 18

[0268] Figure 20 FIG. 7 is a conceptual view illustrating a combined structure of the curved portion 401 and a cover member 500 according to still another embodiment of the present application.

[0269] A protruding wall is provided at one side (e.g., an inner side) of the second cover member 503. The protruding wall can include a first protruding wall 504 and / or a second protruding wall 506. The first protruding wall 504 is protrudingly formed in one direction toward the side plates 135a, 135b. The second protruding wall 506 is protrudingly formed toward one side (e.g., an outer side) of the outer case 410. The length of the first protruding wall 504 protruding from one side (e.g., an inner side) of the second cover member 503 is formed to be longer than the length of the second protruding wall 506 protruding from one side (e.g., an inner side) of the second cover member 503. A coupling groove 505 is formed at one side (e.g., an inner side) of the first protruding wall 504.

[0270] The coupling groove 505 is formed to accommodate one side of the curved portion 401. One side of the curved portion 401 can be coupled to the coupling groove 505. The coupling portion 502 is protrudingly formed at one side of the first cover member 413 toward the drawer guide 508. The coupling groove 509 is concavely formed at one side of the drawer guide 508 in the protruding direction of the coupling portion 502.

[0271] ​The thermal wire coupling portion 511 and / or the magnet coupling portion 511 can be provided between the plurality of convex walls. The coupling protrusion 507 can be convexly formed between the thermal wire coupling portion 511 and the magnet coupling portion 511.

[0272] Other configurations are the same as or similar to those of the above-described Figures 1 to 19 embodiment, and thus repeated explanations will be omitted.

[0273] Figure 21 is a conceptual view showing a state in which a cover member 600 and an insulator are coupled to a vacuum adiabatic body according to still another embodiment of the present application.

[0274] The present embodiment is different from the above-described Figures 1 to 20 embodiment in that the thermal wire 114 is not coupled to the cover member 600.

[0275] The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the case of the first storage compartment 106 is relatively smaller than the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the case of the second storage compartment 107.

[0276] Accordingly, the thermal wire 114 is mainly used for the second storage compartment 107, and can not be coupled to the first storage compartment 106. The thermal wire 114 can be disposed on one side of the body 100 to surround the outer periphery of the second storage compartment 107. In the case of the first storage compartment 106, the drawer guide 508 is not coupled to one side (e.g., the inner side) of the first panel 101a, 101b.

[0277] The inner case 139 can not extend from the first plate 132a, 132b of the first panel 101a, 101b to the second panel 102. The first insulator 603 can extend to surround only a portion of the first plate 132a, 132b to which the inner case 139 does not extend. The coupling portion 602 can be provided on one side of the first cover member 413. The coupling portion 602 can be directly coupled to the first plate 132a, 132b of the vacuum adiabatic body using fusion or the like, due to the member (not coupled) of the drawer guide 508.

[0278] Other configurations are the same as or similar to those of the above-described Figures 1 to 16 embodiment, and thus repeated explanations will be omitted.
