본 발명은 냉장고에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 제방장치를 구비한 냉장고에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and more particularly to a refrigerator having a dike device.

일반적으로 냉장고는 증발기에 의해 열교환된 냉기가 유입되는 냉동실과 냉장실이 형성되며, 냉동실 또는 냉장실의 배면 하부에는 압축기 및 응축기가 설치된 기계실이 구비되어 있다. 이러한 일반적인 냉장고의 냉장실은 대략 3°C-5°C의 온도에서 음식물 등을 신선하게 보관시키며, 냉동실은 영하의 온도에서 음식물 등을 얼린상태로 장기간 보관시킨다.In general, a refrigerator is provided with a freezer compartment and a refrigerating compartment into which cold air heat exchanged by an evaporator is introduced, and a mechanical compartment in which a compressor and a condenser are installed is provided at a lower portion of the rear surface of the freezer compartment or the refrigerating compartment. The refrigerator of the general refrigerator keeps food and the like freshly at a temperature of approximately 3 ° C-5 ° C, and the freezer keeps food and the like frozen for a long time at subzero temperatures.

최근에는 사용자의 편의를 위해 단기간 보관을 목적으로 자주 사용하는 음료수 및 음식류 등을 저장하는 냉장실을 상부에 마련하고, 하부에 냉동실을 마련한 냉장고가 출시되고 있으며, 이러한 냉장고는 사용자가 편리하게 얼음을 꺼낼 수 있도록 도어의 전면부에 디스펜서가 마련된 제빙장치를 구비하고 있다.Recently, for the convenience of the user, a refrigerator for storing drinks and foods, which are frequently used for the purpose of short-term storage, is provided on the upper side, and a refrigerator having a freezer on the lower side has been released. The ice maker provided with the dispenser in the front part of the door is provided.

이러한 종래의 냉장고의 일례가 미국공개특허(공개번호US2006/0090496호)에 개시되어 있다. 상기 공보에 개시된 냉장고는 하부에 냉동실이 마련되며 상부에 냉 장실이 마련되고, 제빙영역이 냉장실의 하부 또는 상부의 코너측에 형성된다.An example of such a conventional refrigerator is disclosed in US Patent Application Publication No. US2006 / 0090496. In the refrigerator disclosed in the above publication, a freezer compartment is provided at a lower portion thereof, a refrigerator compartment is provided at an upper portion thereof, and an ice making region is formed at a corner side of the lower portion or the upper portion of the refrigerator compartment.
