Definitions
- Embodiments relate to a refrigerator.
- a door that opens and closes a storage compartment in a refrigerator may have a structure including an inner door and an outer door.
- a housing which defines an accommodation space, may be installed at a rear surface of the inner door, which is in close contact with a cabinet.
- An opening which allows access to an inside of the housing, may be formed at the inner door, and the opening may be blocked by the outer door.
- a user may store items, e.g., food, which used, in the housing, and thus, may take out food stored in the housing by opening only the outer door and may also minimize leakage of cool air from the storage compartment.
- items e.g., food, which used, in the housing
- the cool air in the storage compartment of the refrigerator may not be smoothly supplied into the housing.
- Food accommodated in the housing may serve as an obstacle that blocks flow of the cool air, and thus, the cool air supplied into the housing may not circulate.
- a method in which a duct connecting an evaporation compartment with the housing is separately installed inside the cabinet of the refrigerator, has been proposed.
- a disadvantage for this method is that a separate duct component may be installed at a side surface or an upper surface of the cabinet, and a separate insulation for the duct may be required.
- an insulating effect of the duct may be lowered, dew condensation or ice formation may occur, and the duct may expand during a foaming process.
- JP H03 175247 A relates to a refrigerator in which an openable cover is provided at the front of a door shelf of a freezing compartment so as to form an independent storage compartment, a cold air intake and a cold air outlet are respectively provided at the upper and lower parts of the independent storage compartment and a cold air duct is provided on the ceiling of the freezing compartment to introduce a portion of cold air from a chiller to the cold air intake.
- the independent storage compartment 20 is used as a second freezing temperature band compartment
- the other part of the freezing compartment is used as the first freezing temperature band compartment
- the cold air duct is used as an exclusive cold air passage.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a refrigerator having a cool air circulation structure according to an embodiment.

- the door 13, which may open and close the freezer compartment 112, may also be a rotatable door.
- the doors 12, 13 When the doors 12, 13 are rotatable, the doors 12, 13 may be a pair of French doors, which may be rotatably connected to a left or first edge and a right or second edge of the front surface of the cabinet 11. At least one of the pair of French doors includes an inner door 121, which may be rotatably coupled to the front surface of the cabinet 11, and an outer door 122, which is rotatably coupled to the inner door 121 at a front surface of the inner door 121.
- the inner door 121 and the outer door 122 may be referred to as a first door and a second door, respectively.
- FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view of the door of the refrigerator according to the embodiment.
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a door basket provided at the door of the refrigerator according to the embodiment.
- FIG. 4 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV of FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line V-V of FIG. 2 .
- the door 12 of the refrigerator 10 includes the inner door 121, and the outer door 122.
- the inner door 121 may include a door case 121a, which may form an external appearance of the inner door 121, a door liner 121b, which may be installed or provided at a rear surface of the door case 121a, and a door dike 121c, which may protrude from the door liner 121b at a predetermined length and may be provided along an outer edge of the door liner 121b.

- each of the basket supporting ribs 143 may extend from only inner surfaces of the left and right side surfaces of the housing 14.
- One or more door baskets 15 are installed inside the housing 14. Each of the door baskets 15 may be seated on the basket supporting ribs 143 and may be coupled to the door dike 121c. The one or more door baskets 15 may be separably coupled to the door dike 121c. When the door baskets 15 are coupled to the door dike 121c, a bottom of each of the door baskets 15 may be in contact with the basket supporting ribs 143.
- a fastening rib 121e which may protrude toward a center of the access hole 121d and vertically extend a predetermined length, may be formed at an inner surface of the door dike 121c. The fastening rib 121e may be inserted into a side surface of the door basket 15.

- the front surfaces of the door baskets 15 are spaced backward apart from the front surface of the inner door 121 at a predetermined distance. Therefore, cool air from the refrigerator compartment 111 introduced into the cool air inlet port 141 may flow down along the cool air path 105, and then may be discharged again into the refrigerator compartment 111 through the plurality of cool air outlet ports 142.
- Each of the door baskets 15 may be in a box shape, of which an upper surface may be opened.
- each of the door baskets 15 may include a front portion 152, a rear portion 153, a left side portion 154 and a right side portion 155, which may connect ends of the front portion 152 and the rear portion 153, and a bottom portion 151, which may connect lower ends of the rear portion 153, the left and right side portions 154 and 155, and the front portion 152.
- a basket installation part or mount 156 may be formed at each of left and right edges of the rear portion 153.
- the basket installation mount 156 may further protrude from the rear portion 153.
- the basket installation mount 156 may be coupled to the door dike 121c.
- a distance L1 from a front end of the basket installation mount 156 to the front portion 152 of the door basket 15 may be longer than a distance L2 between the rear portion 153 and the front portion 152.
- a fastening groove 157 in which the fastening rib 121e formed at the door dike 121c may be inserted, may be recessed from an outer surface of the basket installation mount 156.
- the fastening rib 121e may be inserted into the fastening groove 157 in a direction in which the door basket 15 may be moved onto the fastening rib 121e, for example, a downward direction, and thus, the door basket 15 may be coupled to the door dike 121c.
- the fastening rib 121e is inserted into the fastening groove 157 by moving the door basket 15 downward, the door basket 15 may be prevented from being separated from the inner door 121 while the inner door 121 is opened and closed.
- the cool air descending path 105 is defined as a space formed by the rear portion 153 of the door basket 15, the basket installation mount 156, the access hole 121d, and a rear surface of the outer door 122.
- a distance from the rear surface of the outer door 122 to the rear portion 153 of the door basket 15 may be defined as a width of the cool air descending path 105.
- a cool air circulation fan 20 is installed or provided at an upper surface of a front portion of the cabinet 11.

- the cool air circulation fan 20 may be inclined at an angle corresponding to a gradient of the upper surface of the housing 14.
- a bottom of the fan seating groove 113 may be inclined with a gradient, which is the same as a gradient of the upper surface of the housing 14.
- the fan seating groove 113 may be recessed by a depth, which may accommodate the cool air circulation fan 20 such that the cool air circulation fan 20 may not interfere with the upper surface of the housing 14 when the door 12 is closed. That is, the fan seating groove 113 may be recessed with a predetermined depth so that a lower surface of the cool air circulation fan 20 may be spaced apart from the upper surface of the housing 14 at a predetermined distance when the cool air circulation fan 20 is installed at a ceiling of the refrigerator compartment 111.
- the fan seating groove 113 may have a sufficient size such that the cool air in the refrigerator compartment 111 may be introduced to the cool air circulation fan 20. That is, when the door 12 is closed, a rear end of the fan seating groove 113 may be further rearward than the rear surface of the housing 14. Then, the cool air in the refrigerator compartment 111 may be suctioned to the cool air circulation fan 20 through a space defined between the rear surface of the housing 14 and a rear end of the fan seating groove 113.
- the cool air suctioned by the cool air circulation fan 20 is supplied into the housing 14 through the cool air inlet port 141 of the housing 14, and the cool air supplied in the housing 14 may cool food inside the housing 14 in a refrigerated state.
