Definitions

  • Embodiments relate to the field of refrigeration.
  • Embodiments relate to a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a refrigerator which includes a subsidiary storage compartment with an improved accessibility to improve user convenience and which can prevent leakage of cold air provided in the refrigerator.
  • a refrigerator also sometimes referred to as a refrigerator-freezer, or “fridge freezer” is an electric appliance which can maintain freshness of various foods or other products for a long time by supplying cold air generated by a freezing cycle to a freezer compartment and a refrigerator compartment.
  • such a refrigerator includes a cabinet having a freezer compartment and a refrigerator compartment formed therein to store foods, and doors coupled to sides of the cabinet to open and close the freezer and compartment compartments, respectively.
  • Elements including a compressor, an evaporator, an expansion valve and the like which compose the freezing cycle may be provided in the cabinet.
  • Cold air generated from the evaporator is supplied to the freezer and refrigerator compartments, to preserve stored food in the freezer and refrigerator compartments at a low temperature for a long time period.
  • the side by side type refrigerator has a disadvantage of much power consumption because of the enlarged storage compartment. Because of that, a subsidiary storage compartment is installed in a predetermined portion of the storage compartment, in other words, a door of the refrigerator compartment and simple foods such as beverages are stored in the subsidiary storage compartment. When the foods are taken out of the subsidiary storage compartment, only a door of the subsidiary storage compartment is open simply, not a door of the refrigerator compartment. There may be active development on the refrigerator including such the subsidiary storage compartment.
  • An opening/closing device is provided in a rear surface of the subsidiary storage compartment, in other words, a surface of the subsidiary storage compartment toward the inside of the refrigerator.
  • the opening/closing device covers the rear surface of the subsidiary storage compartment and leakage of cold air inside the refrigerator is prevented when only the door of the subsidiary storage compartment is open.
  • the opening/closing device configured to open/close the rear surface of the subsidiary storage compartment may be rotatable upward/downward and rightward/leftward. In case a user opens the inside of the refrigerator compartment by rotating the door of the refrigerator compartment a predetermined angle or more, the user cannot rotate the opening/closing device smoothly to open and close the subsidiary storage compartment.
  • WO 2008/080919 discloses a refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1 and describes a cooling device comprising a shelf wherein objects of variable heights can be stored safely.
  • Embodiments provide a refrigerator which includes an opening/closing device configured to open and close a rear surface of an subsidiary storage compartment in a roll type, to open and close the rear surface of the subsidiary storage compartment, even if an entire door of a refrigerator compartment is not rotated a predetermined angle or more, and to improve accessibility for a user and to prevent waste of consumed power.
  • a refrigerator comprising: a cabinet comprising a storage compartment; a door rotatably provided in the cabinet, the door opening/closing the storage compartment; a subsidiary storage compartment provided in the door, with an open rear surface to place foods or take out the foods there through; and an opening/closing device provided in the rear surface of the subsidiary storage compartment to open and close the rear surface of the subsidiary storage compartment, wherein the opening/closing device comprises, a supporting member coupled to the subsidiary storage compartment; and a blocking member wound around the supporting member in a roll type to open and close the open rear surface of the subsidiary storage compartment, characterized in that at least one slit is provided in the blocking member to make the storage compartment in communication with the subsidiary storage compartment, so that when the door is closed, cold air supplied to the storage compartment is drawn into the subsidiary storage compartment via the at least one slit.
  • the opening/closing device configured to open and close the rear surface of the subsidiary storage compartment provided in the refrigerator compartment door may be provided as winding roll type. As a result, the user may open and close the rear surface of the subsidiary storage compartment even without opening the refrigerator compartment by rotating the entire refrigerator compartment door. Because of that, the accessibility to the subsidiary storage compartment may be improved and leakage of the cold air supplied to the refrigerator compartment may be prevented to prevent the waste of consumed power.
  • an exterior appearance of the refrigerator is defined by a cabinet 100 formed in an approximately cube shape.
  • a storage compartment (110, see FIG. 3 ) which is a room for storing foods and the like is formed in the cabinet 100.
  • the storage compartment 110 is partitioned into right and left parts by a barrier (not shown) provided in the cabinet 100, such that freezer and refrigerator compartments may be provided.
  • the barrier may partition the storage compartment 110 of the cabinet 100 into top and bottom parts to provide the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
  • the present invention may be applicable to various types of refrigerators, not limited thereby.
  • the front of the cabinet 100 is formed open and doors 200 are rotatably coupled to the open front of the cabinet 100.
  • the doors 200 are configured to open and close the open front of the cabinet 100, in other words, the freezer and refrigerator compartments selectively.
  • the door 200 may be configured to open and close the freezer and refrigerator compartments and they may open and close the freezer and refrigerator compartments independently by rotating along both directions.
  • a dispenser 200 is provided in a door 200 opening and closing the freezer compartment to allow a user to dispense purified water or ice outside.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating an open state of a subsidiary storage compartment door 220 provided in the refrigerator.

  • the subsidiary storage compartment door 220 is provided in a front surface of the door 200 configured to open and close the refrigerator compartment.
  • the subsidiary storage compartment door 220 allows the user to take or place the stored foods out of or in the cabinet 100, without opening the door 200.
  • the subsidiary storage compartment door 220 may allows the foods to be taken out of a storage room provided in the refrigerator compartment inside the cabinet 100 or in a rear surface of the door 200.
  • the subsidiary storage compartment door 220 may be rotatably coupled to the front surface of the door 200 and it is rotated with respect to a side of the refrigerator compartment along a predetermined direction, to open an opening 202 provided in the door 200.
  • a hinge shaft (not shown) is provided in a side of the subsidiary storage compartment door 220 to be coupled to the front surface of the door 200.
  • the subsidiary storage compartment door 220 is rotated about the hinge shaft to open the opening 202.
  • the opening 202 is in communication with the subsidiary storage compartment 210 provided in the door 200. Because of that, the user may open only the subsidiary storage compartment door 220 and he or she may store or take out the foods such as beverages in or from the subsidiary storage compartment 210.
  • the user may open only the subsidiary storage compartment door 220 such that he or she may store or take out the stored foods with high use frequency smoothly.
  • the leakage of the cold air outside the refrigerator, which is generated when the entire door 200 is opened, may be reduced and power waste may be prevented.
  • the subsidiary storage compartment door 220 is typically provided in the door 200 configured to open and close the refrigerator compartment. However, in case the dispenser 230 is not provided, the subsidiary storage compartment door 220 may be provided in the door 200 configured to open and close the freezer compartment. If necessary, it may be provided each of the doors for freezer and refrigerator compartments.
