  • Unexplained reference numerals 220 and 320 denote door baskets. Operation and effects of the refrigerator according to the present invention will be explained as follows.
  • the compressor 410 When a load is generated as food items are received in the freezing chamber 110 or the chilling chamber 120 of the refrigerator, the compressor 410 starts to operate thus to compress a refrigerant. Then, the compressed refrigerant is moved to the first cycle (C1 ) via the condenser 420, and then is introduced into the compressor 410 via the first expansion valve 430 and the first evaporator 440. The compressed refrigerant is moved to the second cycle (C2) via the condenser 420, and then is introduced into the compressor 410 via the second expansion valve 450 and the second evaporator 460. These processes are repeatedly performed.
  • cool air generated from the first evaporator 440 and the second evaporator 460 may be supplied to the freezing chamber 110 by the first fan 470 through the first refrigerator channel 131 and the first refrigerator outlet 131a, or may be supplied to the chilling chamber 120 by the second fan 480 through the second refrigerator channel 132 and the second refrigerator outlet 132a. Accordingly, food items stored in the freezing chamber 110 and the chilling chamber 120 can be maintained with a frozen status or a cool status.
  • Cool air inside the first and second refrigerator channels 131 , 132 is introduced into the first and second door channels 211 , 311 provided at the freezing chamber door 200 and the chilling chamber door 300 through the first and second guide channels 131b, 132b communicated with each side surface of the first and second refrigerator channels 131 , 132. Also, the cool air is directly supplied to the door baskets 220, 320 of the freezing chamber door 200 and the chilling chamber door 300 through the first and second door outlets 211a, 311a. Accordingly, food or beverage items stored in the door baskets 220, 320 can be freshly maintained with a frozen state or a cool state.
  • the freezing chamber 110 and the chilling chamber 120 In order to receive a large amount of food items and to store food items with a fresh state by smoothly supplying cool air, the freezing chamber 110 and the chilling chamber 120 have to have large available capacities. However, when the first and second evaporators are installed at rear surfaces of the freezing chamber 110 and the chilling chamber 120, the available capacities of the freezing chamber and the chilling chamber are decreased. To solve the problem, in the present invention, the first and second evaporators 440, 460 are installed inside the partition wall 130 that partitions the freezing chamber 110 and the chilling chamber 120 from each other.
  • the freezing chamber 110 and the chilling chamber can have a deep depth and a large available capacity, respectively. Furthermore, cool air generated from the first and second evaporators 440, 460 can be directly supplied to the door baskets 220, 320 of the freezing chamber door 200 and the chilling chamber door 300 through the first and second door channels 211 , 311 formed at the freezing chamber door 200 and the chilling chamber door 300. In this case, each temperature difference between the freezing chamber 110 and the door basket 220, and between the chilling chamber 120 and the door basket 320 can be solved, thereby freshly storing food or beverage items received in the door baskets 220, 320.
  • the refrigerator of the present invention may have other embodiment.
  • one refrigerator channel 133 having a first cool air channel may be formed in the partition wall 130.
  • a first refrigerator outlet 133a and a second refrigerator outlet 133b may be formed at both sides of the refrigerator channel 133, that is, a side surface of the freezing chamber and a side surface of the chilling chamber.
  • one or more evaporators 440, 460 may be installed at the one refrigerator channel 133.
  • the freezing chamber fan 470 and the chilling chamber fan 480 may be installed at each periphery of the first and second refrigerator outlets 133a, 133b.
  • one fan may be installed at rear sides of the evaporators 440, 460, thereby guiding cool air discharged from the fan to be respectively supplied to the freezing chamber 110 and the chilling chamber 120.
  • the evaporators 440, 460 are installed at the partition wall 130 positioned at a side surface of the refrigerator not a rear surface of the refrigerator, an available capacity inside the refrigerator can be increased.
  • the first and second door channels 211 , 311 and the first and second door outlets 211a, 311a are respectively connected to the freezing chamber door 200 and the chilling chamber door 300, food items received in the first and second door baskets 220, 320 can be stored with a fresh state.
  • the refrigerator according to another embodiment of the present invention has the same effects and configurations as the aforementioned refrigerator, and thus its detailed explanation will be omitted.
  • the refrigerator according to the present invention has the following advantages. Since the freezing chamber evaporator and the chilling chamber evaporator are installed at an inner side of the partition wall that partitions inside of the refrigerator into the freezing chamber and the chilling chamber, each depth of the freezing chamber and the chilling chamber becomes deep. Accordingly, each available capacity of the freezing chamber and the chilling chamber can be increased, and thus a large amount of food items can be stored in the refrigerator with a fresh state.
  • the cool air channel is connected to the freezing chamber door and the chilling chamber door, thereby not causing a temperature difference between the refrigerator body and the door basket. Accordingly, food items or beverage items received in the door basket can be stored with a fresh state.
  • the refrigerator according to the present invention can be applied not only to a side-by-side type, but also to any refrigerator having a partition wall therein. It will also be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, it is intended that the present invention cover modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un réfrigérateur. Un évaporateur de chambre de congélation et un évaporateur de chambre de réfrigération sont installés côté interne d'une paroi de séparation séparant une chambre de congélation et une chambre de réfrigération. Par conséquent, la chambre de congélation et la chambre de réfrigération sont très profondes et ont de grandes capacités de rangement disponibles, ce qui leur permet de contenir au frais une grande quantité de produits alimentaires. Par ailleurs, un passage d'air frais est formé dans la porte des chambres de congélation et de réfrigération de manière à être raccordé à un passage d'air frais de la paroi de séparation. De ce fait, il ne se produit pas de différence de température entre un espace interne et une étagère de porte, ce qui permet de stocker et de conserver dans un état frais des aliments ou des boissons dans une étagère de porte.
