Abstract
Description
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a refrigerator, and in particular, to improve the appearance of the door by improving the structure of the refrigerator door, to meet the needs of consumers and to increase the consumer sentiment.
Refrigerators are generally home appliances that maintain the internal temperature lower than the room temperature, so that food can be stored for a long time in a refrigerated or frozen state.
The refrigerator includes a main body in which a storage compartment in which cold air is stored is formed, and a door rotatably coupled to the main body.
In general, the door includes an outer case forming a front appearance and a door liner forming a rear appearance of the door. Insulation material is filled between the outer case and the door liner.
On the other hand, in recent years, as a standard for selecting a refrigerator, consumers have tended to consider design factors in addition to the inherent performance of the refrigerator.
In particular, the color or design of the door, which takes up a large part of the exterior of the refrigerator, is one of the factors that can appeal strongly to the consumer.
In the case of the conventional refrigerator, the out case of the door is often made of steel sheet to reinforce the strength. The steel sheets had a problem that the color was relatively monotonous.
In addition, when a unique pattern or pattern is not formed on the surface of the steel sheet, users tend not to produce a sophisticated image or a luxurious image.
Therefore, in recent years, the case out of the refrigerator door is often made of a stainless steel plate. Since the stainless steel plate has a unique luster and texture, the appearance of the refrigerator can be made more luxurious.
However, the stainless plate had a problem of weak strength. In addition, the stainless plate has a problem that the material is expensive and the manufacturing process is not easy to manufacture.
An embodiment of the present invention is proposed to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a door of the refrigerator to implement the luxurious appearance of the refrigerator by surface treatment on the outer case of the refrigerator.
In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator door in which a delicate design is realized by patterning a door panel.
In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator door in which a glass member is fixed to a patterned door panel so that the strength of the door is reinforced.
In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator door in which a glass member is fixed to a door panel by a fixing member so that a three-dimensional effect of a design implemented in the door is saved.
In the refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above object, the storage compartment is formed; And a door rotatably coupled to the main body, wherein the door comprises: a door panel in which an image is formed; A glass member provided on the front surface of the door panel; And a fixing member for fixing the glass member to the door panel, and the front surface of the door panel is sealed by the fixing member.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method of manufacturing a refrigerator includes: sketching a pattern shape on a front surface of a door panel; Performing an etching process along the sketched pattern shape; Fixing a fixing member to a front surface of the etched door panel; And fixing the glass member to the front surface of the fixing member.
According to the door of the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the above configuration, there is an advantage that the luxurious appearance of the refrigerator can be implemented by surface treatment on the outer case of the refrigerator.
In addition, by patterning the door panel using a photo etching method, there is an advantage that the delicate design can be implemented in the refrigerator door.
In addition, the glass member is fixed to the front of the patterned door panel, there is an advantage that the strength of the door can be reinforced.
In addition, the glass member is fixed to the door panel by the fixing member, there is an advantage that the three-dimensional effect of the design implemented in the door can be saved.
In addition, there is an effect that the glass member can be easily fixed to the unetched portion of the door panel, whereby the sealing effect can be achieved in the refrigerator door.
In addition, there is an advantage that the corrosion or oxidation of the door panel can be prevented by the sealing effect of the refrigerator door.
Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings will be described a specific embodiment of the present invention. However, the spirit of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments presented, and those skilled in the art who understand the spirit of the present invention can easily suggest other embodiments within the scope of the same idea.

"Photo-etching" is an ultra-precision processing technique with high precision, and refers to a processing technique of a material that corrodes the metal by applying a photosensitive material to the metal surface and separating it into a portion that is subjected to ultraviolet rays and an portion that is not received.
In detail, the photo etching technique is a technique in which photolithography and etching are combined.
Lithography is a technique of applying a photoresist on a panel to form a pattern, and selectively exposing and developing the photoresist with ultraviolet light passing through a photo mask (film containing a pattern).
And, the etching technique refers to a technique of selectively corroding the surface of the material using the developed photosensitive film as a protective film. In other words, the etching technique means that the metal surface without the protective film is drilled and cut into grooves by chemical corrosion or electrolytic corrosion with acid, alkali, ferric chloride solution, or the like.
Finally, the protective film may be subjected to a step of removing and trimming with an alkaline liquid, an organic solvent, or the like.
