3 is a schematic view of a refrigerator according to another embodiment of the present invention.
4 is a schematic view of a refrigerator according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

For reference, the same components as those of the conventional art will be described with reference to the above-described prior art, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

2 to 4, the refrigerator according to the present embodiment includes a refrigerator main body 100, a freezing compartment 110 formed in the refrigerator main body 100, and a first evaporator cooling the freezing compartment 110. 310, a refrigerating chamber 120 formed in the refrigerator main body 100, a second evaporator 320 cooling the refrigerating chamber 120, and a refrigerating chamber 120 formed in the refrigerator main body 100. And a drawing chamber 130 disposed at a lower portion, wherein the refrigerating chamber 120 and the drawing chamber 130 are formed to communicate with each other, and a fan for moving the cold air of the refrigerating chamber 120 to the drawing chamber 130 ( 410 is provided.

The refrigerator main body 100 includes a housing surrounding the freezing compartment 110, the refrigerating compartment 120, and the fresh chamber 130, and a door (not shown) is installed at a front surface thereof.

The freezing chamber 110, the refrigerating chamber 120, and the fresh chamber 130 are formed so as to open in the front of the refrigerator body 100 and are partitioned from each other.

The freezing chamber 110 is formed long on the upper left and lower sides, and the refrigerating chamber 120 is formed on the upper right.

The fresh room 130 is formed at the lower right side.

The door opens and closes the freezing compartment 110, the refrigerating compartment 120, and the fresh compartment 130, respectively.

The door includes a first door (not shown) that opens and closes the freezing compartment 110, a second door that opens and closes the refrigerating compartment 120, and a third door that opens and closes the fresh chamber 130.

The first door, the second door, and the third door are formed in the refrigerator main body 100 through a hinge to open and close each storage chamber in a left-right rotational manner.

The evaporator includes a first evaporator 310 and a second evaporator 320 for cooling the freezing compartment 110 and the refrigerating compartment 120, respectively.

The evaporator cools the freezing compartment 110 and the refrigerating compartment 120 of the freezing compartment by intercooling.

Therefore, the freezing chamber 110 is provided with a first duct (not shown) and a first fan (not shown) installed in the first duct, and the refrigerating chamber 120 has a second duct (not shown) and the second duct. It is provided with a second fan (not shown) installed in.

Each of the first and second evaporators 310 and 320 are disposed in each duct, and the air cooled by the evaporator is supplied to each storage chamber by a fan installed in each duct.

As such, the method of cooling the storage compartment by the intercooling method is a technology used in a refrigerator (Korean Patent No. 210471), so a detailed description thereof and illustration will be omitted.

The evaporator may further include a third evaporator 330 for cooling the fresh chamber 130.

The third evaporator 330 is attached to the outer circumferential surface of the drawing chamber 130 to cool the drawing chamber 130 by direct cooling.

The communication hole 101 which communicates the refrigerating chamber 120 and the fresh chamber 130 is formed, and the refrigerating chamber 120 and the fresh chamber 130 communicate. The fan 410 is provided to move the cold air of the refrigerating chamber 120 to the fresh chamber 130 through the communication hole 101.

The communication hole 101 is formed in the wall which partitions the refrigerating chamber 120 and the fresh chamber 130.

In addition, a damper (not shown) for controlling the inflow of cold air may be installed in the communication hole 101.

A plurality of communication holes 101 may be formed, and each communication hole 101 may be provided with a fan 410. Alternatively, the fan 410 may be installed only in the communication hole 101 through which cold air flows.

The cold air having a relatively high temperature may be moved to the refrigerating chamber 120 through the plurality of communication holes 101, and the cold air having a relatively low temperature may be moved to the fresh chamber 130. That is, the cold air is introduced and discharged through the plurality of communication holes 101 (the cold air is circulated), so that the cold air supply can be more smoothly provided.

In this way, the fresh room 130 is cooled by direct cooling by the third evaporator 330 surrounding the fresh room 130 and at the same time, the cold air of the refrigerating chamber 120 having a similar temperature band is supplied through the communication hole 101, thereby intercooling. To cool.

Direct cooling and indirect cooling at the same time in the fresh room 130 can be more effectively stored fresh food. In addition, when the kimchi is stored in the fresh room, kimchi can be stored more effectively.

Unlike the above, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the first evaporator 310 or the refrigerating chamber for cooling the freezer compartment 110 is provided without a separate evaporator attached to the outer circumferential surface of the fresh chamber 130. Outlets 311 and 321 of the second evaporator 320 to be cooled may be attached to the outer circumferential surface of the drawing chamber 130 to surround the drawing chamber 130.

As shown in FIG. 3, an outlet 311 of the first evaporator 310 may surround the fresh chamber 130. Therefore, the refrigerant flowing through the first evaporator 310 cools the fresh chamber 130 by direct cooling after the freezing chamber 110 is cooled by intercooling.

As shown in FIG. 4, the outlet 321 of the second evaporator 320 may surround the fresh chamber 130. Therefore, the refrigerant flowing through the second evaporator 320 cools the fresh chamber 130 by direct cooling after the refrigerator compartment 120 is cooled by intercooling.

In this way, the storage compartment can be cooled by inter-cooling and direct-to-cold cooling, respectively, with a simple flow path structure, so that it can be effectively stored for a long time according to food.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the following claims .
