Abstract

본 발명은 에어커튼 구조를 갖춘 냉장고에 관한 것으로, 그 목적은 저장실 내의 냉기가 외부로 유출되는 것을 억제함으로써, 냉장고의 운전효율과 식품의 신선도를 장기간 유지하는 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a refrigerator having an air curtain structure, and an object thereof is to maintain the operating efficiency of the refrigerator and the freshness of food for a long time by suppressing outflow of cold air from the storage compartment to the outside.

본 발명에 따른 에어커튼 구조를 갖춘 냉장고는 냉기의 일부가 저장실 개방면의 상부에서 하측으로 토출되어 공기장벽을 형성함으로써, 저장실의 냉기 유출이 억제된다.In the refrigerator having the air curtain structure according to the present invention, a part of the cold air is discharged from the upper side to the lower side of the storage compartment opening surface to form an air barrier, whereby the cold air outflow of the storage compartment is suppressed.

따라서 도어를 자주 열어도 냉기 유출이 적어 냉장고의 운전효율이 증대되고, 저장실내의 온도가 항상 일정하게 유지되어 저장식품의 신선도를 장기간 지속시키는 이점이 있다.Therefore, even if the door is frequently opened, there is less cold air outflow, the operating efficiency of the refrigerator is increased, the temperature in the storage room is always kept constant, there is an advantage to maintain the freshness of the stored food for a long time.
