Abstract:
A refrigerator including: a cabinet having a storage compartment provided therein and comprising an outer part forming an external appearance of the refrigerator and an inner case forming an inner surface that defines the storage compartment; a heat exchange compartment formed in a space between the inner case and a rear panel; an evaporator located in the heat exchange compartment; a door provided at a front surface of the refrigerator to selectively open and close the storage compartment; a housing defining a food storage space and attached to a rear surface of the door; a basket provided in a storage space of the housing; and a duct for supplying cold air from the evaporator into the housing. The duct extends to the housing from one side of the rear panel. The duct includes a first duct attached to the rear panel. The first duct has a duct entrance that is configured to receive the cold air from the evaporator and extends toward a side surface of the storage compartment. The duct further includes a second duct connected to the first duct and connected to a door dike of the door. The housing includes: an inlet configured to receive cold air from the duct to the inside of the housing, and discharge parts provided at side surfaces of the housing and through which cold air is discharged from the housing to the storage compartment.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a refrigerator including a cabinet (10) defining a first storage region (2) for storing food, a door (20) for opening and closing the first storage region (2), a gasket (26) which is provided on an inner surface of the door (20) and seals the first storage region (2) from outdoor air by forming a sealing boundary when the door (20) closes the first storage region (2), a first hinge member (40) which has a rotary shaft (42) and rotatably connects the door (20) to the cabinet (10) out of the sealing boundary, a container (100) which defines a second storage region for storing food and is received in the first storage region (2), and a second hinge member (200) which is fixed, at one side thereof, to the container (100) within the sealing boundary while being rotatably connected, at the other side thereof, to the door (20), the second hinge member (200) having a ratary shaft (206) which is vertically and linearly aligned with the rotary shaft (42) of the first hinge member (40).

Disclosed herein is a refrigerator including a cabinet (10) defining a first storage region (2) for storing food, a door (20) opening and closing the first storage region (2) and filled with a thermal insulator therein, a gasket (26) provided on an inner surface of the door (20) and sealing the first storage region (2) from outdoor air by forming a sealing boundary when the door (20) closes the first storage region (2), a first hinge member (40) rotatably connecting the door (2) to the cabinet (10), a container (100) defining a second storage region for storing food and received in the first storage region (2), a second hinge member (200) rotatably connecting the door (20) to the container (100), and a connection member (260) structurally coupled to the second hinge member (200) within the door (20), in order to prevent distortions of a direction and a position of a rotary shaft (206) of the second hinge member (200) relative to a rotary shaft (42) of the first hinge member (40).
Abstract:
Disclosed are a fixing device and a refrigerator having the same. The fixing device includes a clasp (400) installed to a first member (12), the clasp having a contact portion (402, 404) defining a plane, and a coupler (500) installed to a second member (100), the coupler serving to fix the second member to the first member to enable selective coupling or release of the second member and the first member. The coupler includes a hook (510) having a protruding tip portion (511) configured to come into contact with the contact portions (402, 404) so as to be caught by the contact portion (404), the hook being rotatable, and an elastic member (52,0) configured to elastically support the hook such that the hook is rotated toward the clasp. A contact position of the protruding tip portion and the contact portion is spaced apart from a rotation center of the hook by a predetermined distance (d).
Abstract:
Disclosed is a refrigerator, which directly supplies cold air to a storage compartment provided in a door. The refrigerator includes a cabinet including a first storage compartment having an open front side, an inner door configured to open or close the first storage compartment and including a second storage compartment in which food is stored, an outer door configured to open or close the second storage compartment, a cold air supply unit configured to supply cold air to each of the first storage compartment and the second storage compartment, and a cold air duct provided in the first storage compartment to selectively communicate the cold air supply unit and the second storage compartment with each other depending on an opening or closing operation of the inner door.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a refrigerator including a cabinet defining a first storage area to store food, a door connected to the cabinet by first hinge members, so as to be rotatable about a first rotary shaft located at the front portion of the cabinet, and opening and closing the first storage area, a gasket provided on the door, and a container defining a second storage area received in the first storage area and being rotatable by a second hinge member installed on the cabinet.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a refrigerator and a control method therefor. The present invention provides a refrigerator and a control method therefor, the control method comprising: a first step for driving a compressor for compressing a refrigerant and a fan for moving air; a second step for driving the compressor and stopping the fan; a third step for stopping the compressor and driving the fan; and a fourth step for stopping the compressor and the fan.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a control method for a refrigerator. The control method for a refrigerator according to the present invention comprises the steps of: driving a first cooling fan to cool a first storage chamber; adjusting a damper to cause cold air to simultaneously flow through first and second cold-air passages; adjusting a damper to reduce the opening angle of the first cold-air passage, when the temperature of a high-temperature chamber reaches a value smaller than or equal to a second reference temperature for the high-temperature chamber; adjusting a damper to reduce the opening angle of the second cold-air passage, when the temperature of a low-temperature chamber reaches a value smaller than or equal to a second reference temperature for the low-temperature chamber; and driving a second cooling fan to cool a second storage chamber, wherein, after the temperature of the high-temperature chamber reaches the value smaller than or equal to the second reference temperature for the high-temperature chamber, when a predetermined time elapses or the sensed temperature of the high-temperature chamber reaches a first set temperature between a first reference temperature and the second reference temperature for the high-temperature chamber, the damper is adjusted to increase the opening angle of the first cold-air passage.
Abstract:
A refrigerator including a housing mounted at a rear surface of a door to define a storage space of food, a basket disposed inside the housing, a duct extending to the housing from one side of an evaporator to supply cold air generated by the evaporator into the storage space of the housing, and a fan assembly coupled to the duct to allow the cold air to be forcibly supplied.
