The embodiments are described below to explain the present invention by referring to the figures.
-
FIG. 1 is a sectional view illustrating a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention, andFIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the refrigerator. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and2 , the refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention includes amain body 10 having astorage compartment 12, which is divided into a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment by a middle partition (not shown), defined therein. To the front of thestorage compartment 12 are mounted doors to open and close the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment. - To the inside rear wall of the
storage compartment 12 is mounted anevaporator 16 to generate cool air. Above theevaporator 16 is mounted a coolair circulation fan 18 to blow internal air in thestorage compartment 12 such that the internal air is circulated through theevaporator 16. - The
evaporator 16 is disposed in a coolair generating compartment 20 defined inside thestorage compartment 12. - Below the cool
air generating compartment 20 is formed a coolair inlet port 22, through which the internal air in thestorage compartment 12, i.e., the cool air, is introduced into the coolingair generating compartment 20 such that the air passes through theevaporator 16. Below theevaporator 16 is formed a coolair outlet port 24, through which the cool air, having passed through theevaporator 16, is discharged into thestorage compartment 12 by the coolair circulation fan 18. - At the front side of the bottom of the
main body 10 is mounted acondenser 42 to change a high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas into a low-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant liquid. Thecondenser 42 is a bottom type condenser mounted in a built-in type refrigerator to increase the capacity of thestorage compartment 12. That is, thecondenser 42 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes superior space efficiency as compared to a conventional condenser, thus increasing the capacity of the refrigerator. - At the rear side of the bottom of the
main body 10 is defined amachine compartment 30.Access panel 23 may be affixed tomain body 10.Access panel 23 can be removed and later reaffixed tomain body 10 to allow access tomachine compartment 30 for servicing. In themachine compartment 30 are mounted acompressor 32 to change a gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas and a blowingunit 34 to blow air having passed through thecondenser 42 and thecompressor 32. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , the blowingunit 34 includes a blowingfan 35 and a blowingguide member 36 to guide air blown by the blowing fan. - The blowing fan suctions air into the
machine compartment 30, during the operation of the blowing fan, to cool thecondenser 42 and thecompressor 32. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the blowing fan is not a conventional axial flow fan but a multi-bladecentrifugal fan 35. At one side of thecentrifugal fan 35 is mounted amotor 35a to drive thecentrifugal fan 35. - The blowing
guide member 36 includes acylindrical fan casing 37 surrounding thecentrifugal fan 35 and aguide duct 38 communicating with thefan casing 37 to guide air introduced through thefan casing 37. - At one side of the
fan casing 37 is formed asuction port 37a, through which air is suctioned during the rotation of thecentrifugal fan 35. - The
guide duct 38 communicates with thefan casing 37, as described above. During the rotation of thecentrifugal fan 35, theguide duct 38 guides the air suctioned through thesuction port 37a of thefan casing 37 such that the air is discharged toward the front of themain body 10. To this end, adischarge port 38a is formed at one side of theguide duct 38 such that thedischarge port 38a is directed to the front of themain body 10. - At the bottom of the
main body 10 is also formed anair supply channel 28 to guide the introduction of external air into themachine compartment 30 and anair discharge channel 29 to guide the discharge of the air from themachine compartment 30. Theair supply channel 28 and theair discharge channel 29 extend in the forward-and-backward direction of themain body 10 such that the interior of themachine compartment 30 communicates with the front side of the bottom of themain body 10. One end of theair discharge channel 29 communicates with thedischarge port 38a of theguide duct 38, and the other end of theair discharge channel 29 communicates with a discharge port (not shown) formed at the lower front of themain body 10. - Hereinafter, the air circulating operation of the refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
- First, when the
centrifugal fan 35 is rotated by themotor 35a, air outside the machine compartment is introduced into themachine compartment 30 while the air is heat-exchanged with thebottom type condenser 42. The air, introduced into themachine compartment 30, cools thecompressor 32 by the continuous rotation of thecentrifugal fan 35. - The air inside the
machine compartment 30, having passed through thecondenser 42 and thecompressor 32, is introduced into thefan casing 37, surrounding thecentrifugal fan 35, through thesuction port 37a by thecentrifugal fan 35. The air, introduced into thefan casing 37, is guided along theguide duct 38, and is then discharged through thedischarge port 38a of theguide duct 38. - The air, discharged through the
discharge port 38a of theguide duct 38, moved to theair discharge channel 29, in which the air is discharged to the front of themain body 10. - According to an embodiment of the present invention, therefore, the air, having passed through the
bottom type condenser 42 and thecompressor 32, is discharged to the front of themain body 10 by the blowingunit 34, which includes thecentrifugal fan 35 and the blowingguide member 36 to guide the air blown by thecentrifugal fan 35. Consequently, the smooth discharge of air is accomplished. In addition, the power consumption of the blowingunit 34 is reduced through the discharge of air to the front of themain body 10. - Furthermore, the air, having passed through the
bottom type condenser 42 and thecompressor 32, is blown using thecentrifugal fan 35. Consequently, efficiency is maintained through a relatively small flow resistance, as compared to that of the conventional axial flow fan. - As apparent from the above description, the refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention has the effect of discharging the air, having passed through the bottom type condenser and the compressor, to the front of the main body by the centrifugal fan and the blowing guide member, thereby accomplishing the smooth discharge of air.
- Furthermore, the refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention has the effect of smoothly discharging air to the front of the main body, thereby reducing the power consumption necessary to discharge air.
- Although a few embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it would be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made in this embodiment without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined in the claims and their equivalents.
