The specific embodiment

Now, will be elaborated to embodiment, its example is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and similarly Reference numeral is represented similar elements in whole accompanying drawing.

Fig. 1 is the perspective view that illustrates according to the refrigerator of embodiment.Fig. 2 is the decomposition diagram of a part of the door of apotheca.Fig. 3 is the bottom view of the basket that links to each other with the auxiliary cooling-part of refrigerator shown in Figure 1.Fig. 4 is the cutaway view of the refrigerator of Fig. 1.

Referring to figs. 1 through Fig. 4, refrigerator comprises main body 10, has at least one apotheca 20 and the door 25 that is used to open and close apotheca 20.

Main body 10 comprises: form the shell 11 of its outward appearance, be installed in the shell 11 with inner casing 13 that forms at least one apotheca 20 and the Machine Room (not shown) that holds various mechanical parts.

As mentioned above, shell forms outward appearance.The guidance panel (not shown) can be formed on a side of shell 11, in order to select to be stored in the condition such as maturation time, temperature and type etc. of the food in the apotheca 20.

In inner casing 13, form at least one apotheca 20.Basket 30 is set in the apotheca 20, to be contained in the container 40 that wherein stores food (such as pickles).

Apotheca 20 can comprise the first apotheca 20a and the second and the 3rd apotheca 20b and 20c, the described first apotheca 20a is equipped with the door 25a that opens and closes along horizontal direction, and described second is arranged on the following of the first apotheca 20a and door 25b and the 25c that opens and closes as drawer is installed respectively with the 3rd apotheca 20b and 20c.Refrigerator according to embodiment can comprise an apotheca 20 with drawer type door 25, or a plurality of apotheca.

The Machine Room holds the compressor (not shown) that comprises compression refrigerant and the condensation parts from the condenser (not shown) of the refrigerant of compressor supply.Machine Room and apotheca 20 are separated.

In addition, foamed material 15 (such as the carbamate of foaming) is filled in the space between shell 11 and inner casing 13, is used for heat insulation.

Evaporimeter 50 is installed in the space that is filled with foamed material 15, and flow of refrigerant is to keep the low internal temperature of apotheca 20 in evaporimeter.As shown in the figure, evaporimeter 50 adopts the form of common refrigerant tube.In the situation of the apotheca 20 with

drawer type door

25b and 25c, evaporimeter 50 is mounted, with bottom side and two cross sides around drawer type apotheca 20b and 20c.Just, the evaporimeter 50 with refrigerant tube form is installed into the inwall of inner casing 13 and contacts, so that surround both sides and the bottom side of apotheca 20b and 20c.

The free convection supply of the inner air by apotheca 20b and 20c is sent to the cold air of bottom side and the both sides of apotheca 20b and 20c from evaporimeter 50.In other words, when hot-air moved up, 50 places moved down by the heat exchange cooled air at evaporimeter.Reduce the temperature of apotheca 20b and 20c by such cross-ventilation.

Use the heater (not shown) of electrical heating wire can be installed between shell 11 and the inner casing 13 inside, so that make the pickles maturation of storage by the predetermined temperature that keeps being suitable for the pickles maturation in order to heating apotheca 20.

In addition, installing component 60 is installed on the rear surface of drawer type door 25b and 25c.Basket 30 is connected to installing component 60 removedly.

Basket 30 can be made of plastics the form of the cabinet with unlimited upside.As mentioned above, basket 30 has in order to hold the storage area of the container 40 that stores food (such as pickles).

Flange 31 is stretched out by two upper ends from basket 30 integrally, so that be mounted to installing component 60 removedly.

In addition, prevent that bending part 80 is installed in the bottom side of basket 30, make that the basket 30 be made of plastics can the bending owing to the thermal expansion that repeats and thermal contraction.Prevent that bending part 80 can be installed in the bottom side of basket 30 along horizontal direction.

Moving guide rail 61 is installed in the both sides of installing component 60 along the longitudinal direction, makes

door

25b and 25c move in drawer system, therefore opens and closes apotheca 20b and 20c.

In addition, fixed guide 63 is formed on the both sides of inner casing 13, is used for engaging slidably with the moving guide rail 61 of installing component 60.Particularly, fixed guide 63 is installed on the inwall of inner casing 13 along the longitudinal direction.

Therefore, move, the basket 30 that is mounted to installing component 60 is moved forward and backward according to the slip of the moving guide rail 61 that engages with fixed guide 63.Therefore, the user can put and take out the food that is stored in the container 40 into respect to basket 20.

In the basket 30 in being arranged on drawer type apotheca 20b and 20c, the free convection in operating period of refrigerator by evaporimeter 50 has produced temperature deviation between the upper and lower of apotheca 20.Especially, bigger at upper forepart and the temperature deviation between the following front portion of apotheca 20b and 20c, described front portion is near

door

25b and 25c.

The deviation of the internal temperature of auxiliary cooling-part 70 to reduce basket 30 is provided for this purpose.

Auxiliary cooling-part 70 can be formed by the high thermal conductivity material that comprises metal (such as iron and aluminium), alloy, resin etc.According to exemplary embodiment, aluminium sheet can be used as auxiliary cooling-part 70.

The auxiliary cooling-part of being made by high thermal conductivity material 70 is positioned adjacent to each apotheca 20b of contact and the both sides of 20c and the evaporimeter 50 of bottom side.Herein, at the front area of basket 30, auxiliary cooling-part 70 forms the surface with two outsides of basket 30 with the bottom side and contacts.

Just, be transferred to following front portion at the high temperature of the upper forepart of basket 30 at basket 30.Particularly, be transferred to the auxiliary cooling-part 70 that has low temperature and be positioned adjacent to evaporimeter 50 in the high temperature of the upper forepart of the basket 30 inside upper end by auxiliary cooling-part 70.Thereby, can be reduced at the upper forepart of basket 30 and the temperature deviation between the following front portion.

Simultaneously, the cold air cold junction of flash-pot 50 may be come in the both sides of basket 30 and bottom side, and this is because the close evaporimeter 50 of these elements.Yet the high temperature of upper forepart that can be by the basket 30 that shifts via auxiliary cooling-part 70 prevents such freezing.

As mentioned above, the refrigerator according to embodiment can reduce at the upper forepart of apotheca and the temperature deviation between the following front portion by using auxiliary cooling-part.

Though illustrated and described several embodiment; but be to be understood that under the situation of principle that does not deviate from described embodiment and essence; those skilled in the art can make a change these embodiment, and protection scope of the present invention is limited by claim and their equivalent.
