본 발명은 냉장고에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 제빙장치가 설치되는 냉장고의 냉기공급구조를 개선한 냉장고에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a refrigerator having an improved cold air supply structure of a refrigerator in which an ice maker is installed.

일반적인 대형냉장고의 저장실에는 도 1에 도시한 바와 같이, 얼음을 제조하는 제빙장치(1)와, 제빙장치(1)에서 제조된 얼음을 저장하는 얼음저장통(2)과, 얼음저장통(2)의 얼음을 외부로 배출시키도록 도어(미도시)의 얼음토출구(미도시) 쪽으로 이송시키는 얼음공급장치(3)를 구비한다.As shown in FIG. 1, a storage compartment of a general large refrigerator includes an ice making device 1 for producing ice, an ice storage container 2 for storing ice produced by the ice making device 1, and an ice storage container 2. It is provided with an ice supply device (3) for transferring the ice discharge port (not shown) of the door (not shown) to discharge the ice to the outside.

또 저장실(4, 통상의 냉동실)의 내측 후방에는 냉기유로를 형성하는 내측패널(5)이 설치되어 있고, 내측패널(5)에는 냉기유로(6)를 통해 안내되는 냉기를 제빙장치(1) 쪽으로 공급할 수 있도록 냉기토출구(7)가 형성되어 있다. 이 냉기토출구(7)는 제빙장치(1)의 후방에 마련되어 냉기가 제빙장치(1) 쪽으로 직접 송풍되도록 함으로써 제빙효과를 높일 수 있도록 되어 있다.In addition, an inner panel 5 is formed inside the storage chamber 4 (normal freezer compartment) to form a cold air passage, and the inner panel 5 is provided with cold air guided through the cold air passage 6. The cold air discharge port 7 is formed so that it can supply to the side. The cold air discharge port 7 is provided at the rear of the ice making apparatus 1 so that the cold air is blown directly toward the ice making apparatus 1 so as to enhance the ice making effect.

그러나 이러한 냉장고의 냉기공급구조는 저장실(4) 상부 쪽의 냉기토출구(7)가 제빙장치(1)의 후방에 마련되어 제빙장치(1) 쪽으로 냉기가 집중되기 때문에 제빙효과를 높일 수 있지만, 후방으로부터 전방으로 토출되는 냉기의 대부분이 제빙장치(1)에 의해 가려지는 문제로 인해 저장실(4) 전방의 도어선반(미도시) 쪽의 냉각이 원활하지 못하였다. 즉 후방의 냉기토출구(7)로부터 토출되는 냉기가 제빙장치(1)에 의해 가려져서 저장실(4) 상부의 전방 공간(도어선반 쪽 공간)으로 송풍이 원활하지 않기 때문에 저장실(4) 상부의 도어선반 쪽 공간의 온도가 상대적으로 높은 문제가 있었다.However, in the cold air supply structure of the refrigerator, since the cold air outlet 7 of the upper side of the storage compartment 4 is provided at the rear of the ice making apparatus 1, cold air is concentrated toward the ice making apparatus 1, but the ice making effect can be increased. Due to the problem that most of the cold air discharged to the front is covered by the ice maker 1, the cooling of the door shelf (not shown) in front of the storage chamber 4 is not smooth. That is, since the cold air discharged from the cold air discharge port 7 at the rear side is blocked by the ice making apparatus 1, the air is not smoothly blown to the front space (door shelf side space) above the storage compartment 4, so the door shelf at the upper part of the storage compartment 4 is There was a problem that the temperature of the side space was relatively high.

본 발명은 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위한 것으로, 본 발명의 목적은 제빙장치 쪽 및 도어선반 쪽으로의 냉기공급이 원활하게 이루어져 전체적으로 균일한 냉각이 이루어질 수 있도록 하는 냉장고를 제공하는 것이다. The present invention is to solve such a problem, it is an object of the present invention to provide a refrigerator to smoothly supply the cold air to the ice making device side and the door shelf toward the overall uniform cooling.

As shown in FIG. 2, the refrigerator according to the present invention has a storage compartment 11 which is formed vertically long in the main body 10 and whose front surface is opened, and a door which opens and closes the opened front surface of the storage chamber 11. 12). In addition, the inner rear of the storage chamber 11 is provided with an evaporator 13 for generating cold air, a cold air circulation fan 14 for cooling the cold air, and an inner panel 15 for forming the cold air flow path 16.

저장실(11)의 내에는 상부에 얼음을 제조하기 위한 제빙장치(25)가 설치되고, 이 제빙장치(25)의 하부에 제조된 얼음을 보관하기 위한 얼음저장통(17)이 설치된다. 또 저장실(11) 내부에는 냉동식품을 보관하기 위한 선반들(18)과 보관상자들(19)이 설치되고, 도어(12)의 내면에도 다수의 도어선반들(20)이 설치된다.An ice maker 25 for manufacturing ice is installed in the upper part of the storage chamber 11, and an ice storage container 17 for storing the ice produced in the lower part of the ice maker 25 is installed. In addition, the storage compartment 11 is provided with shelves 18 and storage boxes 19 for storing frozen foods, and a plurality of door shelves 20 are also installed on the inner surface of the door 12.

도어(12)에는 사용자가 도어(12)를 열지 않고서도 얼음저장통(17) 내부의 얼음을 꺼낼 수 있도록 저장실(11) 내부와 연통되어 얼음의 배출을 안내하는 얼음토출구(21)가 형성되고, 얼음저장통(17)에는 도어(12)의 얼음토출구(21) 쪽을 얼음을 이송시켜 공급하거나 이송과정에서 얼음을 분쇄시킬 수 있는 얼음공급장치(22)가 설치된다. 또 도어(12)의 전면에는 함몰된 얼음 수납공간(23)이 형성되고, 이 수납공간(23)에는 얼음토출구(21)의 출구를 개폐하는 동시에 저장실(11) 내부에 마련되는 얼음공급장치(22)를 동작시키기 위한 조작레버(24)가 설치된다. The door 12 is formed with an ice discharge port 21 communicating with the inside of the storage compartment 11 to guide the discharge of the ice so that the user can take out the ice inside the ice reservoir 17 without opening the door 12, The ice reservoir 17 is provided with an ice supply device 22 capable of transporting the ice discharge port 21 side of the door 12 to supply ice or crushing the ice in the transport process. In addition, a recessed ice storage space 23 is formed in the front of the door 12, the ice supply device which is provided in the storage compartment 11 at the same time opening and closing the outlet of the ice discharge port 21 ( An operation lever 24 for operating 22 is provided.

저장실(11) 내부의 내측패널(15)에는 냉기유로(16)를 통해 공급되는 냉기가 저장실(11) 내에 고루 분산되도록 하는 냉기토출구들이 형성된다. 특히 저장실(11) 상부 쪽 내측패널(15)에는 도 3에 도시한 바와 같이, 제빙장치(25) 쪽으로 직접 냉기가 공급될 수 있도록 제빙장치(25)의 후방위치에 형성되는 제1냉기토출구(31)와, 제빙장치(25)를 우회하여 저장실(11) 전방공간 쪽으로 냉기의 공급이 이루어지도록 하기 위한 제2냉기토출구(32)가 형성된다.Cold air discharge ports are formed in the inner panel 15 of the storage chamber 11 to allow the cold air supplied through the cold air passage 16 to be evenly distributed in the storage chamber 11. In particular, as shown in FIG. 3, the first cold air discharge port formed at a rear position of the ice making device 25 so that cold air can be supplied directly to the ice making device 25, as shown in FIG. 3. 31 and a second cool air discharge port 32 for bypassing the ice making device 25 to supply the cool air toward the storage chamber 11 front space.

제1냉기토출구(31)는 큰 냉각능력이 요구되는 제빙장치(25) 쪽으로 직접 냉기의 공급이 이루어지도록 하여 제빙장치(25)에서 원활한 제빙이 이루어지도록 하기 위한 것이다. 그리고 제2냉기토출구(32)는 제1냉기토출구(31)를 통하여 토출되는 냉기가 제빙장치(25)에 의해 가려져 저장실(11)의 전방 상부공간 쪽(상측 도어선반 쪽)원활하지 못하게 되는 문제를 방지하기 위한 것으로, 토출되는 냉기가 제빙장치(25)를 우회하여 저장실(11)의 전방공간으로 공급되도록 함으로써 저장실(11) 상부의 도어선반(20) 쪽 전방공간이 원활히 냉각될 수 있도록 한 것이다. 이를 위해 제2냉기토출구(32)는 내측패널(15)의 제1냉기토출구(31)가 형성된 위치로부터 측방 상부위치에 형성된다.The first cold air discharge port 31 is for supplying cold air directly toward the ice making device 25 requiring a large cooling capacity, so that the ice making device 25 can be made smoothly. In addition, the second cold air discharge port 32 is a problem that the cold air discharged through the first cold air discharge port 31 is blocked by the ice making device 25 to prevent the front upper space side (upper door shelf side) of the storage chamber 11 to be smooth. In order to prevent the discharge, the discharged cold air bypasses the ice making device 25 to be supplied to the front space of the storage compartment 11 so that the front space toward the door shelf 20 on the upper side of the storage compartment 11 can be smoothly cooled. will be. To this end, the second cold air outlet 32 is formed at a side upper position from a position where the first cold air outlet 31 of the inner panel 15 is formed.

또 제1냉기토출구(31)와 제2냉기토출구(32)에는 토출되는 냉기가 전방으로 직진하는 직진성을 가지도록 공기의 유동방향을 안내하기 위해 각 토출구(31,32) 둘레로부터 공기가 토출되는 방향으로 소정길이 연장되는 공기안내부들(33,34)이 각각 마련된다. 이는 토출되는 냉기가 직직성을 구비하여 제빙장치(25) 또는 저장실(11) 상측의 도어선반(20) 쪽으로 원활히 송풍되어 제빙장치(25)의 냉각 및 도어선반(20) 쪽의 냉각이 원활해질 수 있도록 한 것이다.In addition, air is discharged from each of the discharge ports 31 and 32 to guide the flow direction of the air to the first cold air discharge port 31 and the second cold air discharge port 32 so that the discharged cold air is straight ahead. Air guides 33 and 34 extending in a predetermined length in the direction are provided, respectively. This is because the cold air discharged has a straightness and is smoothly blown toward the door shelf 20 above the ice making device 25 or the storage chamber 11 to facilitate the cooling of the ice making device 25 and the cooling of the door shelf 20. I would have to.

또한 내측패널(15)의 후면에는 도 4에 도시한 바와 같이, 제1냉기토출구(31) 및 제2냉기토출구(32)로 냉기의 공급이 이루어질 수 있도록 제1냉기토출구(31) 쪽으로 형성된 냉기유로(16)를 제2냉기토출구(32) 쪽으로 연장하는 연장유로(35)가 형성된다.In addition, the rear side of the inner panel 15, as shown in Figure 4, the cold air formed toward the first cold air outlet 31 so that the cold air can be supplied to the first cold air outlet 31 and the second cold air outlet (32) An extension passage 35 is formed to extend the passage 16 toward the second cold air discharge port 32.

또 연장유로(16) 내에는 제2냉기토출구(32) 쪽으로 유동하는 냉기량을 제한하기 위해 유로 폭을 축소시키는 유동제한턱(36)이 형성된다. 이는 냉기유로(16)를 따라 제1냉기토출구(31) 쪽으로 안내되는 냉기의 대부분이 연장유로(35)를 통해 제2냉기토출구(32) 쪽으로 유동하는 현상을 방지하기 위함이다. 즉 유동제한턱(36)에 의해 냉기의 유동이 일부 제한됨으로써 냉기유로(16)를 통해 안내된 공기의 일부가 제1냉기토출구(31)를 통하여 배출되고, 나머지 냉기가 축소된 유로(37)를 통하여 제2냉기토출구(32) 쪽으로 공급될 수 있도록 함으로써 제1냉기토출구(31)와 제2냉기토출구(32)의 고른 냉기분배가 이루어질 수 있도록 한 것이다.In addition, in the extension passage 16, a flow restriction jaw 36 is formed to reduce the width of the passage in order to limit the amount of cold air flowing toward the second cold air discharge port 32. This is to prevent the phenomenon that most of the cold air guided toward the first cold air outlet 31 along the cold air passage 16 flows toward the second cold air outlet 32 through the extension passage 35. That is, the flow of cold air is partially restricted by the flow limiting portion 36, so that a part of the air guided through the cold air flow passage 16 is discharged through the first cold air discharge port 31, and the remaining cold air flow path 37 is reduced. By allowing it to be supplied toward the second cold air discharging port 32 through the first cold air discharging port 31 and the second cold air discharging port 32 is to be evenly distributed.

이상에서 상세히 설명한 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따른 냉장고는 제1냉기토출구를 통하여 제빙장치 쪽으로 냉기의 공급이 이루어지고, 제2냉기토출구를 통하여 저장실 상부의 전방공간으로 냉기의 공급이 이루어지기 때문에 제빙장치 및 저장실 상측 도어선반 쪽으로의 냉기공급이 원활하게 이루어져 전체적으로 균일한 냉각이 이루어질 수 있는 효과가 있다.As described above in detail, the refrigerator according to the present invention is supplied with cold air toward the ice making device through the first cold air outlet, and the ice making device is supplied to the front space above the storage chamber through the second cold air outlet. And it is possible to supply the cool air to the upper side of the upper storage shelf smoothly there is an effect that can be uniformly cooled as a whole.
