Description

Insulator

[0001] The present invention relates to an insulator. The present invention relates to a refrigerator equipped with an insulator.

[0002] Korean Patent Publication No. 2019-0070753 (hereinafter, "Patent Document 1") discloses a vacuum insulator and a refrigerator. According to Patent Document 1, a mounting frame is installed in a belt shape along the inner perimeter of a vacuum insulator refrigerator to join partition walls (also referred to as "mullions") that divide a first storage compartment and a second storage compartment. At least a portion of the cross-section of the mounting frame is provided in a bent shape to reinforce strength and prevent deformation of the side walls of the refrigerator. The mounting frame can be welded to the refrigerator. Patent Document 1 discloses that when a partition wall is welded to the inner wall of a refrigerator composed of a vacuum insulator, the inner wall of the vacuum insulator may be damaged. This may cause the vacuum in the vacuum insulator to not be maintained, resulting in a decrease in the insulation performance of the refrigerator. Before joining the partition wall, the installation location of the partition wall must be marked on the inner wall of the vacuum insulation to ensure that the partition wall is joined in the correct position. Even if the location is marked, there is a problem that the work is difficult because it is difficult to visually confirm the welding location between the connection between the partition wall and the inner wall of the vacuum insulation, especially between the bottom edge of the partition wall and the inner wall of the vacuum insulation.

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator having a structure capable of solving the above-described problems.

[0004] The first purpose is to provide a refrigerator having a structure in which a partition wall can be joined to an inner wall of a refrigerator composed of a vacuum insulator without damage to the vacuum insulator due to sealing (e.g., welding).

[0006] The third purpose is to provide a refrigerator having a structure that can easily suppress deformation of the first panel of the main body.

[0007] The fourth objective is to provide a refrigerator having a structure capable of reinforcing the strength of the panel assembly where the partition walls are connected.

[0008] The fifth purpose is to provide a refrigerator having a structure that can minimize leakage of cold heat between the second storage room and the first storage room or between the inside and the outside of the main body through heat conduction of a frame supporting a partition wall.

[0009] The sixth objective is to provide a refrigerator having a structure that not only minimizes deformation of the first panel but also allows the partition wall to be tightly adhered to the second panel.

An insulating block extending in one direction along one side of the first panel and / or the other side of the first panel may be provided. The storage compartment may include a first storage compartment and / or a second storage compartment. A partition wall may be provided that is coupled to the insulating block and / or extends between the insulating blocks to partition the first storage compartment and the second storage compartment. A partition wall joining groove may be formed in the insulating block where the partition wall is in contact and extends in one direction. An insertion guide may be formed to protrude from the surface of the partition wall and / or may be coupled along the partition wall joining groove.

[0026] The present invention may include a fourth block portion forming a surface of the refrigerator.

A frame joining groove may be formed / extended concavely in the insulating block to accommodate the above-mentioned sealing frame.

[0027] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the following effects can be achieved.

[0028] First, a unidirectionally extending bolt plate is attached to one of the first panels and / or another first panel. At least one bolt portion is formed to protrude in one direction on the bolt plate. The support frame is connected to one of the first panels and / or another first panel by the bolt portion of the bolt plate.

[0029] The support frame is configured to support one side (e.g., the bottom side) of the partition wall. At least one or more recessed mounting grooves may be formed on one side (e.g., the bottom side) of the partition wall. The mounting grooves are formed to correspond to the shape of the support frame. The support frame may be accommodated in and / or coupled to the mounting grooves.

[0030] With this configuration, the support frame can support the partition wall by anchoring it using a bolt plate without sealing (e.g., welding), thereby preventing damage to the first panel due to sealing (e.g., welding).

[0031] , the support frame is connected to the first panel by a bolt portion using a bolt plate, so that the installation position of the partition wall can be easily recognized.

[0032] In addition, the support frame can restrict the first panel from moving in one direction and suppress deformation such as buckling of the first panel. The support frame can be connected to the fixing groove of the partition wall to support the partition wall.

[0033] Second, a partition wall extends between one of the first panels and the other of the first panels to separate the first storage compartment from the second storage compartment. The partition wall may be composed of a base, a cover, and / or insulation.

[0034] The base and / or cover form the exterior of the partition wall. The insulation can be formed by foaming PU (polyurethane) foam into the interior space of the base and cover through foam injection holes formed on one side (e.g., the bottom) of the base.

[0035] Through this, the partition wall can block heat exchange between the first storage room and the second storage room.

[0036] Second, soft insulation may be placed between the second panel and the face of the partition wall, and between the first panel and one face of the partition wall (e.g., the left and right sides) and the face of the partition wall. This allows for airtightness to be maintained between the face of the partition wall and the second panel, and / or between one face of the partition wall (e.g., the left and right sides) and the first panel, and / or heat leakage to be prevented.

[0037] Third, one of the third panel, the second panel, the fourth panel, and the first panel constituting the main body and / or the other of the first panel is composed of a vacuum insulator. The vacuum insulator includes a first plate facing the storage room, a second plate facing the outside of the main body, and a support that forms a vacuum space between the first and second plates and supports the first and / or second plates so as to maintain a predetermined gap. The supporter includes a connecting plate that is arranged to overlap at least one of the first and second plates with the predetermined gap and / or a bar that is connected to the connecting plate. At least one bar is arranged inside the second panel, which is in contact with the surface of the partition wall, and / or the first panel, which is in contact with the other surface (e.g., the left and right side) of the partition wall.

[0038] At least one of the intervals of at least two bars arranged inside the second panel and / or the first panel with which the other side (e.g., the left and right side) of the partition wall is in contact is narrower than the intervals of at least two bars arranged inside the second panel and / or the first panel with which the other side (e.g., the side) of the partition wall is not in contact, thereby improving the strength of the second panel and / or the first panel with which the partition wall is in contact, and suppressing deformation of the second panel and / or the first panel.

[0039] At least one of the thicknesses (diameters) of the bars arranged inside the second panel and / or the first panel that the other side (e.g., left and right side) of the partition wall contacts is formed to be thicker (larger) than the thicknesses of the bars arranged inside the second panel and / or the first panel that the other side (e.g., side) of the partition wall does not contact, thereby improving the strength of the second panel and / or the first panel that the partition wall contacts, and suppressing deformation of the second panel and / or the first panel.

[0040] Fourth, a plurality of support frames supporting the partition wall may be provided. The support frames include a first support frame spaced apart from one end of the partition wall at a first interval and / or a second support frame spaced apart from the other end of the partition wall at a second interval and / or disposed on the first support frame.

[0041] According to this configuration, the first support frame is arranged at a first interval from one side (e.g., the front end) of the partition wall, thereby blocking cold air (cold heat) from the second storage room from being transmitted to the first storage room. The second support frame is arranged at a second interval from the other side (e.g., the rear end) of the partition wall, thereby avoiding interference with insulation blocks or second storage room joints arranged on the first panel and / or the second panel.

[0042] Fifth, the end of the reinforcing plate placed on the surface of the partition wall is connected to one side of the first panel, thereby suppressing deformation of the first panel and / or allowing the partition wall to be pressed against the second panel.

[0043] , the end of the front plate arranged on the surface of the partition wall is joined to one side of the first panel, thereby suppressing deformation of the first panel and allowing the partition wall to be pressed against the second panel.

[0165] The component joint may include a support frame (128). At least one support frame (128) may be provided. The support frame (128) is configured to support the partition wall (107). The support frame (128) may be extended.

[0166] The support frame (128) may be formed of a metal material so as to have rigidity capable of supporting the partition wall (107) or the load applied to the partition wall (107).

[0167] A portion (e.g., both ends) of the support frame (128) may be coupled to one of the first panels (1031) and / or the other of the first panels (1032) using a bolt plate (127). A coupling hole may be formed at each of the two ends of the support frame (128). The bolt portion (1271) may pass through the coupling hole and / or a coupling member such as a nut may be coupled to the bolt portion (1271), thereby coupling the bolt plate (127) and the support frame (128).

[0168] At least one mounting groove (111) may be formed on the surface of the partition wall (107). The mounting groove (111) may be formed concavely on the surface of the partition wall (107) so that the support frame (128) is received in the mounting groove (111). The mounting groove (111) may be an extension of the partition wall (107).

[0169] A plurality of anchoring grooves (111) may be arranged to be spaced apart in one direction. The plurality of anchoring grooves (111) may be composed of a first anchoring groove (111a) and a second anchoring groove (111b). The first anchoring groove (111a) may be arranged to be spaced apart from a part (e.g., a front end) of the partition wall (107) by a preset first interval.

[0170] The second settling groove (111b) may be spaced apart from the first settling groove (111a) by a preset second interval. The second interval may be greater than or equal to the first interval. In the present embodiment, the second interval is shown to be greater than the first interval.

[0171] The second anchoring groove (111b) may be arranged at a predetermined third interval from a portion (e.g., the rear end) of the partition wall (107). The third interval may be greater than or equal to the first interval. The third interval may be less than or equal to the second interval.

[0172] The support frame (128) may include a first support frame (128a) and / or a second support frame (128b).

[0173] The first support frame (128a) may be positioned at a predetermined first distance from one end (e.g., the opening-side front end) of the main body (100). The first support frame (128a) may be accommodated in and / or coupled to the first fixing groove (111a).

[0174] The reason why the first support frame (128a) is positioned apart from one end (e.g., the opening side front end) of the main body (100) is to prevent the cold heat or cold air of the second storage room (106) from being conducted or transferred to the first storage room (105) through the first support frame (128a).

[0175] The first support frame (128a) and the second support frame (128b) may be arranged to be spaced apart from each other in one direction by a second interval. The second support frame (128b) may be received in and / or coupled to the second mounting groove (111b). The second support frame (128b) may be arranged to be spaced apart from each other in the second panel (101) by a third interval. The third interval may be greater than or equal to the first interval. The third interval may be less than or equal to the second interval.

[0176] The reason why the second support frame (128b) is arranged to be spaced apart from the second panel (101) is to avoid interference between the second support frame (128b) and the first storage room (105) joint and / or the return duct (116). The second support frame (128b) may be arranged to be spaced apart from the return duct (116).

[0177] The support frame (128) may be configured to include at least one of a first part (1281), a second part (1282), a third part (1283), and a connecting part (1284).

[0178] At least one of the first part (1281) to the third part (1283) is formed in a plate shape. The first part (1281) is extended. The first part (1281) extends longer in the left-right direction than in the upper-lower direction. The first part (1281) forms the surface of the support frame (128).

[0179] The second part (1282) is arranged to be spaced apart from the first part (1281) in one direction. The second part (1282) is extended. The second part (1282) extends in a left-right direction longer than the vertical width. The second part (1282) forms the surface of the support frame (128).

[0180] The third portion (1283) extends in one direction. The third portion (1283) extends longer than the width. The third portion (1283) is configured to connect one end (e.g., the upper end) of the first portion (1281) and one end (e.g., the upper end) of the second portion (1282). The third portion (1283) forms the surface of the support frame (128).

[0181] The anchoring groove (111) and the support frame (128) are formed to correspond to each other. Here, being formed to correspond to each other means that they are formed to be the same or similar in size or shape.

[0182] Through this, the support frame (128) can be inserted into the fixing groove (111) and fitted.

[0183] For example, the first part (1281) can be closely connected to the surface of the mounting groove (111). The second part (1282) can be closely connected to the mounting groove (111). The third part (1283) can be closely connected to one surface of the mounting groove (111).

[0184] A coupling portion (1284) is provided at an end of the support frame (128). The coupling portion (1284) can extend vertically with respect to at least one of the first portion (1281) to the third portion (1283) of the support frame (128). A first end of the coupling portion (1284) can be connected to a second portion (1282). A second end of the coupling portion (1284) can be connected to the first portion (1281). A third end of the coupling portion (1284) can be connected to the second portion (1282).

[0185] Through this, the first part (1281) and / or the second part (1282) of the support frame (128) can be formed to be bent at the third part (1283). The connecting portion (1284) is connected in one direction (e.g., vertically) to at least one of the first part (1281) to the third part (1283), so that the rigidity of the support frame (128) can be improved.

[0186] The anchoring groove (111) is formed to penetrate one direction of the partition wall (107).

[0187] The joint (1284) is positioned facing the bolt plate (127) toward the first panel (103). A joint hole is formed to penetrate through the joint (1284) in one direction.

[0188] The bolt portion (1271) of the bolt plate (127) penetrates the joining hole of the joining portion (1284) and / or a joining member such as a nut is joined to the bolt portion (1271), so that the joining portion (1284) of the support frame (128) can be joined to the first panel (103) using the bolt plate (127).

[0189] The partition wall (107) can be supported by being secured to the support frame (128) through the securing groove (111).

[0190] The partition wall (107) may be configured to include a base (112), a cover (113), and / or an insulating material (114). The base (112) forms the exterior of the partition wall (107). The base (112) is formed in a rectangular shape. The base (112) and / or the cover may be injection molded from a plastic material.

[0191] The base (112) includes a bottom plate portion (1121) forming a first surface of the partition wall (107), a front plate portion (1125) forming a second surface of the partition wall (107), a back plate portion (1122) forming a third surface of the partition wall (107), and / or a side plate portion (1123) forming a fourth surface (e.g., left surface and / or right surface) of the partition wall (107). The surface of the base (112) is formed to be open.

[0192] The cover (113) is joined to a portion of the base (112) so as to cover an opening on one side (e.g., the upper side) of the base (112).

[0193] The joint portion may be formed to bend along the edge of the cover (113). The joint portion of the cover (113) and the edge (e.g., the upper edge) of the base (112) may be arranged to overlap each other. The cover (113) and / or the base (112) may be joined by a joining member such as a screw. An insulating material (114) is provided inside the base (112) and the cover (113). The insulating material (114) may be formed of PU foam, etc.

[0194] A foam injection port (1124) is provided in the bottom plate portion (1121) of the base (112). The foam injection port (1124) may be formed to penetrate the center of the bottom plate portion (1121). PU foam may be injected through the foam injection port (1124) to form a PU foam insulation material (114) in the base (112). The insulation material (114) may be filled in the base (112) and the cover (113).

[0195] The anchoring groove (111) can be formed to correspond to the cover (113) and / or the insulation (114).

[0196] The multi-duct communication hole (108), return duct communication hole (109) and / or penetration portion (110) may be formed to correspond to at least one of the cover (113) and the insulation (114).

[0197] Fig. 10 is a perspective view showing a soft insulation material (115) combined with a partition wall (107) in Fig. 9.

[0198] Fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view showing a soft insulation material (115) arranged between the partition wall (107) and the second panel (101) in Fig. 10.

[0199] Fig. 12 is a cross-sectional view showing a soft insulation material (115) placed between the left and right sides of the partition wall (107) and the first panel (103) in Fig. 10.

[0200] A soft insulation material (115) may be provided between the partition wall (107) and the panel, for example, between the partition wall (107) and the first panel (103) or between the partition wall (107) and the second panel (101). For example, the soft insulation material (115) may be made of a material such as carbon felt or a porous material.

[0201] For example, the soft insulation (115) may wrap around the back plate portion (1122) and / or the side plate portion (1123) of the base (112), or may be bonded to the back plate portion (1122) and / or the side plate portion (1123) of the base (112).

[0202] Through this, the soft insulation (115) can block heat leakage between the partition wall (107) and the panel assembly.

[0203] Fig. 13 is a conceptual diagram showing an example in which a bar (134) is installed on the vacuum insulation body of the second panel (101) that is in contact with the surface of the partition wall (107) in Fig. 11.

[0204] Fig. 14 is a conceptual diagram showing an example in which a bar (134) is installed on the vacuum insulation body of the first panel (103) that is in contact with the side of the partition wall (107) in Fig. 12.

[0205] In this embodiment, at least one bar is provided in the vacuum insulation of the panel to which the partition wall (107) is connected.

[0206] The vacuum insulator may be formed of a metal material. The vacuum insulator is configured to include a first plate (129), a second plate (130), and / or a support (132).

[0207] The first plate (129) is arranged toward the first space (storage room). The first plate (129) is configured to be connected to the partition wall (107).

[0208] The second plate (130) is placed toward the second space (outside of the main body (100)). The second plate (130) forms the exterior of the main body (100).

[0209] The support (132) is placed in the third space. The third space is formed between the first plate (129) and the second plate (130). The third space is a vacuum space (131). The vacuum space (131) is sealed to maintain a vacuum.

[0210] The support (132) supports the first plate (129) and / or the second plate (130) to maintain a gap between the first plate (129) and the second plate (130). The support (132) may include a bar (134) and / or a connecting plate (133). The connecting plate (133) may be referred to as a supporting plate in that it not only connects but also supports the bar (134).

[0211] The connecting plate (133) can extend in the same direction as the first plate (129) or the second plate (130).

[0212] The bar (134) extends perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the vacuum space (131). The bar (134) may have a cross-sectional shape such as a circle. In the case of the vacuum insulation material constituting the second panel (101), the bar (134) extends in one direction. In the case of the vacuum insulation material constituting the first panel (103), the bar (134) extends. In the case of the vacuum insulation material constituting the third panel (102), the bar (134) extends. In the case of constituting the fourth panel, the same applies as in the case of the third panel (102).

[0213] The connecting plate (133) includes a first connecting plate (133a) and / or a second connecting plate (133b). The first connecting plate (133a) is connected to one end of at least two bars (134). The first connecting plate (133a) may be face-connected to the first plate (129) and / or may be arranged to overlap each other in the longitudinal direction of the bars (134).

[0214] The second connecting plate (133b) is connected to the other end of at least two bars (134). The second connecting plate (133b) may be face-connected to the second plate (130) and / or may be arranged to overlap each other in the longitudinal direction of the bars (134).

[0215] At least two bars (134) may be spaced apart from each other in the vacuum space (131) of the vacuum insulation material constituting the second panel (101) or the first panel (103), and / or at least one bar may be placed in a section of the vacuum space (131) corresponding to the thickness of the partition wall (107).

[0216] For example, the bars (134) of the second panel (101) that connect the surfaces of the partition wall (107) may be arranged in multiples. In this embodiment, four bars (134) are shown arranged between one end (e.g., the upper end) and the other end (e.g., the lower end) of the surface of the partition wall (107).

[0217] The bars (134) of the first panel (103) connecting the left or right side of the partition wall (107) can be arranged in multiple numbers. In this embodiment, four bars (134) are shown arranged between the upper and lower sides of the side of the partition wall (107).

[0218] At least two bars (134) can improve the strength of the vacuum insulation supporting the partition wall (107).

[0219] At least one radiation resistance sheet (135) may be provided between the first connecting plate (133a) and the second connecting plate (133b). The radiation resistance sheet (135) may extend parallel to the connecting plate (133). The radiation resistance sheet (135) is configured to resist heat transfer by radiation.

[0220] Since other configurations are the same or similar to the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 12 described above, duplicate descriptions will be omitted.

[0221] Fig. 15 is a conceptual diagram showing another example in which a bar (134a) is installed on the vacuum insulation body of the second panel (101) that is in contact with the surface of the partition wall (107) in Fig. 11.

[0222] Fig. 16 is a conceptual diagram showing another example in which a bar (134a) is installed on the vacuum insulation body of the first panel (103) that is in contact with the side of the partition wall (107) in Fig. 12.

[0223] This embodiment is different from the embodiments of FIGS. 13 and 14 described above in that the spacing between at least two bars (134a) provided in the vacuum space (131) of the panel to which the partition wall (107) is connected is narrower than the spacing between at least two bars (134a) provided in the vacuum space (131) of the panel to which the partition wall (107) is not connected.

[0224] Here, the vacuum space (131) of the panel connected by the partition wall (107) means a section of the vacuum space (131) that overlaps the partition wall (107) in the longitudinal direction of the bar (134a).

[0225] The spacing between at least two bars (134a) may be different.

[0226] The first interval of at least two bars (134a) provided in the vacuum space portion (131) of the vacuum insulation body that is connected to the surface of the partition wall (107) may be smaller than or equal to the second interval of at least two bars (134a) provided in the vacuum space portion (131) of the vacuum insulation body that is not connected to the surface of the partition wall (107). In the present embodiment, the first interval is shown to be smaller than the second interval.

[0227] The first interval of at least two bars (134a) provided in the vacuum space (131) of the vacuum insulation body that is connected to one side (e.g., the left side or the right side) of the partition wall (107) may be smaller than or equal to the second interval of at least two bars (134a) provided in the vacuum space (131) of the vacuum insulation body that is not connected to one side (e.g., the left side and the right side) of the partition wall (107). In the present embodiment, the first interval is shown to be smaller than the second interval.

[0228] Through this, the number of bars (134a) provided in the vacuum insulation of the panel connected to the partition wall (107) is greater than the number of bars (134a) provided in the vacuum insulation of the panel not connected to the partition wall (107).

[0229] Therefore, the support strength of the vacuum insulation material for the partition wall (107) can be further improved.

[0230] Since other configurations are the same or similar to the embodiments of FIGS. 13 and 14 described above, duplicate descriptions will be omitted.

[0231] Fig. 17 is a conceptual diagram showing another example in which a bar (134b) is installed on the vacuum insulation body of the second panel (101) that is in contact with the surface of the partition wall (107) in Fig. 11.

[0232] Fig. 18 is a conceptual diagram showing another example in which a bar (134b) is installed on the vacuum insulation body of the first panel (103) that is in contact with the side of the partition wall (107) in Fig. 12.

[0233] This embodiment is different from the embodiments of FIGS. 13 and 14 described above in that the diameter of at least two bars (134b) provided in the vacuum space (131) of the panel to which the partition wall (107) is connected is larger than the diameter (or cross-sectional area) of at least two bars (134b) provided in the vacuum space (131) of the panel to which the partition wall (107) is not connected.

[0234] At least two bars (134b) may have different diameters.

[0235] The first diameter of at least two bars (134b) provided in the vacuum space portion (131) of the vacuum insulation body that is connected to the surface of the partition wall (107) may be greater than or equal to the second diameter of at least two bars (134b) provided in the vacuum space portion (131) of the vacuum insulation body that is not connected to the surface of the partition wall (107). In the present embodiment, the first diameter is shown to be greater than the second diameter.

[0236] The first diameter of the bar (134b) provided in the vacuum space (131) of the vacuum insulation body connected to one side (e.g., the left side or the right side) of the partition wall (107) may be greater than or equal to the second diameter of the bar (134b) provided in the vacuum space (131) of the vacuum insulation body not connected to one side (e.g., the left side and the right side) of the partition wall (107). In the present embodiment, the first diameter is shown to be greater than the second diameter.

[0237] Through this, as the diameter of the bar (134b) provided in the vacuum insulation of the panel connected to the partition wall (107) increases compared to the diameter of the bar (134b) provided in the vacuum insulation of the panel not connected to the partition wall (107), the support strength of the vacuum insulation for the partition wall (107) can be further improved.

[0238] Since other configurations are the same or similar to the embodiments of FIGS. 13 and 16 described above, duplicate descriptions will be omitted.

[0239] Fig. 19 is a conceptual diagram showing a refrigerator to which a partition wall (207) is applied according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0240] Figure 20 is a conceptual diagram showing the appearance before and after the partition wall (207) is joined to the joint integral insulation block (218) in Figure 19.

[0241] Fig. 21 is a bottom view of the joint integral insulation block (218) of Fig. 20, with the partition wall (207) joined thereto.

[0242] Fig. 22 is a front view of the partition wall (207) combined with the joint integral insulation block (218) in Fig. 19.

[0243] Figure 23 is a conceptual diagram showing a foam injection port formed on the bottom surface of the partition wall (207) in Figure 19.

[0244] This embodiment differs from the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 18 described above in that the partition wall (207) is joined to the joint integral insulation block (218) and / or the joint integral insulation block (218) is joined to the main body (100) by a sealing frame without a bolt plate.

[0245] Here, the joint integral insulation block (218) (hereinafter referred to as the 'insulation block') is integrally connected to the second storage room joint (217) placed at the corner where the second panel (201) and the first panel (103) are connected, and / or refers to an insulation block (218) extending from the second storage room joint (217).

[0246] A drawer entrance (221) is formed in a portion (e.g., a front end) of the insulating block (218). The drawer entrance (221) may be formed to be inclined or stepped in one direction so that the second storage drawer (243) can be easily entered. The drawer entrance (221) may be an extension of the insulating block (218).

[0247] The drawer entry (221) may include a first drawer entry (221a) and / or a second drawer entry (221b). The first drawer entry (221a) is positioned adjacent to the opening side of the main body (100). The first drawer entry (221a) may be formed with a first slope so that the thickness (e.g., left-right thickness) of the insulation block (218) increases from one end (e.g., front end) of the insulation block (218).

[0248] The first drawer entrance (221a) and / or the second drawer entrance (221b) may be formed in a stepwise manner in one direction.

[0249] The second drawer entrance (221b) may be formed with a second slope so that the thickness (e.g., left-right thickness) of the insulation block (218) increases at one end (e.g., rear end) of the first drawer entrance (221a). The first slope and the second slope may be different from or the same.

[0250] The thickness (e.g., left-right thickness) of the insulating block (218) in which the second drawer entrance (221b) is formed is thicker than the thickness (e.g., left-right thickness) of the insulating block (218) in which the first drawer entrance (221a) is formed.

[0251] The thickness (e.g., thickness in the left-right direction) of the insulation block (218) in which the drawer entrance (221) is not formed is constant, but is thicker than the thickness (e.g., thickness in the left-right direction) of the insulation block (218) in which the drawer entrance (221) is formed.

[0252] A partition wall joining groove (222) is provided on a portion of the insulation block (218). The partition wall joining groove (222) extends in one direction along the surface of the insulation block (218) from the drawer entry (221). The partition wall joining groove (222) is formed in a concave shape in one direction on the insulation block (218).

[0253] The depth (e.g., left-right depth) of the partition wall joining groove (222) may decrease in the direction from the drawer entry (221) toward the insulation block (218). Conversely, the depth (e.g., left-right depth) of the partition wall joining groove (222) may increase in the direction from the insulation block (218) toward the drawer entry (221).

[0254] In other words, the thickness (e.g., left-right thickness) of the insulating block (218) in which the partition wall joining groove (222) is formed may gradually increase from one end (e.g., front end) of the partition wall joining groove (222). The thickness (e.g., left-right thickness) of the insulating block (218) in which the partition wall joining groove (222) is formed may gradually decrease from the other end (e.g., rear end) of the partition wall joining groove (222).

[0255] The width (e.g., vertical width) of the partition wall joining groove (222) can be reduced in the direction from the drawer entry (221) toward the insulation block (218). Through this, the insertion guide (213) of the partition wall (207) described later can be easily inserted into and joined to the partition wall joining groove (222).

[0256] The partition wall joining groove (222) includes a first partition wall joining groove (222a) formed in an insulating block (218) joined to one of the first panels (231) and / or a second partition wall joining groove (222b) formed in an insulating block (218) joined to another one of the first panels (232).

[0257] The first partition wall joining groove (222a) is arranged to face one side (e.g., left side) of the partition wall (207). The second partition wall joining groove (222b) is arranged to face the other side (e.g., right side) of the partition wall (207).

[0258] An insertion guide (213) is provided on one side (e.g., left side and / or right side) of the partition wall (207). The insertion guide (213) is formed to correspond to the partition wall joining groove (222). The insertion guide (213) is formed to protrude in one direction from one side (e.g., side) of the partition wall (207). The insertion guide (213) is engaged with the partition wall joining groove (222). Through this, the insertion guide (213) allows the partition wall (207) to move in one direction in the main body (100), but can restrict the movement of the partition wall (207).

[0259] The insertion guide (213) is formed symmetrically with respect to a center line passing in one direction (e.g. horizontally) through the center of one side (e.g. side) of the partition wall (207).

[0260] The protruding length (e.g., left-right protruding length) of the insertion guide (213) may gradually decrease from a portion (e.g., front end) of the partition wall joining groove (222). The width (e.g., top-bottom width) of the insertion guide (213) may gradually decrease from a portion (e.g., front end) of the partition wall joining groove (222). Through this, the insertion guide (213) can be easily inserted into and joined to the partition wall joining groove (222). Accordingly, the effect of facilitating assembly of the partition wall (207) can be obtained.

[0261] A joint portion may be formed to protrude in one direction from a portion of the partition wall (207) (e.g., a side shear portion). The joint portion may be coupled to engage with the drawer entry opening (221).

[0366] Fig. 29 is a front view showing a front plate (247) installed on the surface of a partition wall (207) according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0367] Figure 30 is a cross-sectional view taken along XXX-XXX in Figure 29.

[0368] This embodiment differs from the embodiments of FIGS. 27 and 28 in that both ends of the front plate (247) installed on the surface of the partition wall (207) are respectively connected to one of the first panels (203a) and the other of the first panels (203b).

[0369] A hinge supporter (244) may be installed on the surface of the partition wall (207). The hinge supporter (244) may be configured to include a supporter insertion portion (245) and / or a supporter protrusion portion (246). The supporter insertion portion (245) may be formed in the shape of a rectangular plate. The supporter insertion portion (245) may be inserted into and coupled to one surface or the inside of the partition wall (207) described below.

[0370] An opening (2072) may be formed on the surface of the partition wall (207). A supporter protrusion (246) may be formed to protrude from the supporter insertion portion (245). The supporter protrusion (246) may include a front wall (2461) and a side wall (2462). A plurality of side walls (2462) may be configured to surround the edge of the front wall (2461).

[0371] The supporter protrusion (246) can protrude from the supporter insertion portion (245) through the opening (2072) of the partition wall (207). A hinge connection hole is formed in the front wall (2461), so that the second hinge (250) can be connected to the front wall (2461) by a connecting member.

[0372] The hinge supporter (244) may include a first hinge supporter (244a) and / or a second hinge supporter (244b). The first hinge supporter (244a) may be installed on one side of the partition wall (207). The second hinge supporter (244b) may be installed on the other side of the partition wall (207).

[0373] The front plate (247) may be installed to cover the surface of the partition wall (207). The front plate (247) may extend along the surface of the partition wall (207). The length of the front plate (247) (e.g., length in the left-right direction) may extend longer than the width of the front plate (247) (e.g., width in the up-down direction).

[0374] The length (e.g., length in the left-right direction) of the front plate (247) may be formed to be equal to or longer than the length (e.g., length in the left-right direction) of the partition wall (207). The front plate (247) may be installed so as to be connectable to the front wall (2461) of the hinge supporter (244).

[0375] Both ends of the front plate (247) are connected to one of the first panels (203a) and a portion (e.g., a front end) of another of the first panels (203b). A connecting portion (248) is provided at an end of the front plate (247). A first connecting portion (248a) of at least two connecting portions (248) can be connected to one of the first panels (203a). A second connecting portion (248b) of at least two connecting portions (248) can be connected to another of the first panels (203b).

[0376] A second coupling hole (2481) may be formed to penetrate in one direction in the coupling portion (248). The second coupling hole (2481) may be arranged to overlap with the first coupling hole (2051) of the extension portion (205). A coupling member such as a screw may be coupled by penetrating the second coupling hole (2481) of the coupling portion (248) and the first coupling hole (2051) of the extension portion (205).

[0377] Through this, the first connecting portion (248a) can be connected to the first extension portion (205a) of one of the first panels (203a). The second connecting portion (248b) is connected to the first extension portion (205b) of the other one (203b) of the first panel, so that the front plate (247) can suppress deformation such as buckling of the first panel (203).

[0378] A through hole (2471) may be formed to penetrate in one direction in the front plate (247). The through hole (2471) may be arranged to overlap with the hinge joint hole of the hinge supporter (244).

[0379] Through this, a connecting member such as a screw is connected by penetrating the through hole (2471) and / or the hinge connecting hole, so that the front plate (247) can be connected to the hinge supporter (244) by the connecting member together with the hinge.

[0380] As the joint portion (248) is joined to the extension portion (205) of the first panel (203) by the joint member, the front plate (247) can press the hinge supporter (244) to tightly join the hinge supporter (244) to the second panel (201).

[0381] The width (e.g., vertical width) of the joint (248) can be formed longer than the length (e.g., left-right length) of the joint (248).

[0382] A connecting portion (249) may be provided between the connecting portion (248) and the front plate (247). The connecting portion (249) is configured to connect the connecting portion (248) and the front plate (247).

[0383] The width (e.g., vertical width) of the connecting portion (249) may be formed to be longer than the length (e.g., left-right length) of the connecting portion (249). The connecting portion (249) may extend obliquely in one direction.

[0384] The widths (e.g., upper and lower widths) of the joint portion (248) and the connection portion (249) may be the same. The widths (e.g., upper and lower widths) of the joint portion (248) and the connection portion (249) may be formed to be smaller than or equal to the width (e.g., upper and lower widths) of the front plate (247).

[0385] One side of the connecting portion (249) connected to the connecting portion (248) may be formed to be stepped in one direction from the connecting portion (248). The other side of the connecting portion (249) connected to the front plate (247) may be formed to be stepped in one direction from the front plate (247).

[0386] Through this, the step-wise curved structure of the connecting portion (248), the connecting portion (249) and / or the connecting portion (249) of the front plate (247) can increase the bonding strength of both ends of the front plate (247) connected to the first panel (203).

[0387] In this embodiment, the insertion guide (213) protruding in one direction on a part (e.g., both sides) of the partition wall (207) is inserted and coupled into the partition wall coupling groove (222) formed on the surface of the insulation block (218), and the insulation block (218) is coupled to the first panel (203) by using a contact frame (224) without a bolt plate, etc. are the same as or similar to the embodiments of FIGS. 19 to 26 described above, so a duplicate description will be omitted.

[0388] Therefore, the present invention has the following effects.

[0389] First, a bolt plate extending in one direction is attached to one of the first panels (1031) and / or another one of the first panels (1032). At least one bolt portion (1271) is formed to protrude in one direction on the bolt plate. A portion (e.g., both ends) of at least one support frame (128) is connected to one of the first panels (1031) and / or another one of the first panels (1032) by the bolt portion (1271) of the bolt plate.

[0390] The support frame (128) is configured to support the bottom surface of the partition wall (107). At least one or more mounting grooves (111) may be concavely formed on the bottom surface of the partition wall (107). The mounting grooves (111) are formed to correspond to the shape of the support frame (128). The support frame (128) may be accommodated and coupled to the mounting grooves (111).

[0391] According to this configuration, the support frame (128) can limit the movement of the first panel (1031, 1032) in one direction and suppress deformation such as buckling of the first panel (203). The support frame (128) is coupled to the fixing groove (111) of the partition wall (107) and can support the partition wall (107).

[0392] Second, a partition wall (107, 207) extends between one of the first panels (1031, 203a) and the other of the first panels (1032, 203b) to partition the first storage room (105) and the second storage room (106). The partition wall (107, 207) may be composed of a base (112, 208), a cover (113, 209), and / or insulation (114, 210).

[0393] The base (112, 208) and / or the cover (113, 209) form the exterior of the partition wall (107, 207). The insulation (114, 210) can be formed by foaming by injecting PU (polyurethane) foam into the internal space of the base (112, 208) and the cover (9113, 209) through the foam injection port (1124, 211) formed on the lower surface of the base (112, 208).

[0394] Through this, the partition wall (107, 207) can block heat exchange between the first storage room (105) and the second storage room (106).

[0395] Second, a soft insulation material (115, 212) may be placed between the second panel (101, 201) and the surface of the partition wall (107, 207), and / or between the first panel (1031, 203a, 1032, 203b) and the surface of the partition wall (107, 207) that is in contact with one surface (e.g., left-right side) of the partition wall (207). Through this, airtightness may be maintained between the surface of the partition wall (107, 207) and the second panel (101, 201), and between the surface (e.g., left-right side) of the partition wall (107, 207) and the first panel (103, 203), and / or heat leakage may be prevented.

[0396] Third, the third panel (102), the second panel (101, 201), the fourth panel (104), one of the first panels (203a) and / or the other one of the first panels (203b) constituting the main body (100) are composed of a vacuum insulator. The vacuum insulator includes a first plate (129, 2041) facing the storage chamber, a second plate (2042) (130) facing the outside of the main body (100), and / or a support (132) that supports the first or second plate (129, 2041, 130, 2042) so as to form a vacuum space (131, 2043) between the first plate (129, 2041) and the second plate (2042) (130) and maintain a constant gap therebetween. The supporter includes a connecting plate (133) arranged to overlap at least one of the first and second plates (129, 2041, 130, 2042) at a predetermined interval and / or a bar (134, 134a, 134b) connected to the connecting plate (133). At least one bar (134, 134a, 134b) is arranged inside the second panel (101, 201) which is in contact with the surface of the partition wall (107, 207) and / or the first panel (203) which is in contact with the other surface (e.g., left and right side) of the partition wall (107, 207).

[0397] At least one of the intervals of at least two bars (134a) arranged inside the second panel (101) and / or the first panel (203) that is in contact with the surface of the partition wall (107) and / or the other surface (e.g., the left and right side) of the partition wall (107) may be arranged to be narrower than the intervals of at least two bars (134a) arranged inside the second panel (101) and / or the first panel (103) that are not in contact with the first and second surfaces of the partition wall (107). Through this, the strength of the second panel (101) and / or the first panel (203) that is in contact with the partition wall (107) can be improved, and deformation of the second panel (101) and / or the first panel (203) can be suppressed.

[0398] At least one of the thicknesses (diameters) of the bars (134b) arranged inside the second panel (101) that is in contact with the surface of the partition wall (107) and / or the first panel (103) that is in contact with the other surface (e.g., left and right side) of the partition wall (107) is formed to be thicker (larger) than the thickness of the bars (134b) arranged inside the second panel (101) and / or the first panel (103) that are not in contact with the first surface and the second surface of the partition wall (107), thereby improving the strength of the second panel (101) and / or the first panel (103) that is in contact with the partition wall (107) and suppressing deformation of the second panel (101) and / or the first panel (103).

[0399] Fourth, a plurality of support frames (128) supporting the partition wall (107) may be provided. The support frame (128) includes a first support frame (128a) spaced apart from one end of the partition wall (107) at a first interval and / or a second support frame (128b) spaced apart from the other end of the partition wall (107) at a second interval and / or disposed on the first support frame (128a).

[0400] According to this configuration, the first support frame (128a) is arranged at a first interval from one end of the partition wall (107), thereby blocking cold air (cold heat) from the second storage room (106) from being transmitted to the first storage room (105). The second support frame (128b) is arranged at a second interval from the other end of the partition wall (107), thereby avoiding interference with the insulation block (119) or the second storage room joint (118) arranged on the first panel (103) and / or the second panel (101).

[0401] Fifth, the end of the reinforcing plate (138) placed on the surface of the partition wall (107) is joined to one side of the first panel (1031, 1032), thereby suppressing deformation of the first panel (103) and allowing the partition wall (107) to be pressed against the second panel (101).

[0402] , the end of the front plate (247) arranged on the surface of the partition wall (207) is joined to one side of the first panel (203a, 203b), thereby suppressing deformation of the first panel (203) and allowing the partition wall (207) to be pressed against the second panel (201).
