본 발명은, 냉장고에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는, 고내 덕트구조를 개선하여 냉장고 용적율을 향상시킨 냉장고에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a refrigerator in which a refrigerator duct structure is improved to improve a refrigerator volume ratio.
도 6은 종래 냉장고의 측단면도이다.6 is a side cross-sectional view of a conventional refrigerator.
도면에 도시된 바와 같이, 냉장고는 냉각실(120)이 형성되어 있는 본체(101)와, 본체(101)의 전방에 설치되어 냉각실(120)의 전면개구를 회동개폐하는 냉각실도어(105)를 갖는다.As shown in the figure, the refrigerator includes a main body 101 in which the cooling chamber 120 is formed, and a cooling chamber door 105 installed at the front of the main body 101 to rotate the front opening of the cooling chamber 120. Has
냉각실(120)은 저장품을 수납 저장하는 복수의 선반(121)에 의하여 구획되어 있다. 냉각실(120) 후방영역에는 상하방향을 따라 냉각실(120)의 후벽면(129)으로부터 소정의 이격공간이 형성되도록 냉각실덕트부재(130)가 마련되어 있다. 냉각실덕트부재(130)는 냉각실(120)의 후벽면(129)으로부터 전방측으로 소정의 이격공간을 두고 배치된 덕트후면판(133)과, 덕트후면판(133)으로부터 소정의 이격공간을 두고 배치되며 판면을 관통하여 복수의 냉기토출구(137)가 형성된 덕트전면판(131)을 갖는다. 냉각실덕트부재(130)의 덕트전면판(131) 및 덕트후면판(133)은 증발기(123)로부터의 냉기를 냉각실(120)로 안내하는 냉기유로(135)를 형성한다. 덕트후면판(133)의 배면하부영역에는 응축기(미도시)에서 응축된 냉매를 증발시켜 냉기를 생성하는 증발기(123)가 마련되어있다. 증발기(123)의 상부에는증발기(123)에서 생성된 냉기를 냉각실(120)로 공급하는 송풍팬(125)이 마련되어 있다. 증발기(123) 하부영역에는 덕트후면판(133)을 경계면으로 하여 냉각실(120)을 순환한 냉기를 증발기(123)로 안내하는 냉동실 냉기귀환덕트(127)가 형성되어 있다.The cooling chamber 120 is partitioned by a plurality of shelves 121 for storing and storing a stored product. The cooling chamber duct member 130 is provided in the rear region of the cooling chamber 120 so that a predetermined space is formed from the rear wall surface 129 of the cooling chamber 120 in the vertical direction. The cooling chamber duct member 130 has a predetermined space between the duct rear plate 133 and the duct rear plate 133 which are arranged with a predetermined distance from the rear wall surface 129 of the cooling chamber 120 to the front side. The duct face plate 131 has a plurality of cold air discharge ports 137 formed through the plate surface. The duct front plate 131 and the duct back plate 133 of the cooling chamber duct member 130 form a cold air passage 135 for guiding the cold air from the evaporator 123 to the cooling chamber 120. An evaporator 123 is provided in the bottom lower region of the duct back plate 133 to generate cold air by evaporating the refrigerant condensed in the condenser (not shown). The blowing fan 125 is provided at the upper portion of the evaporator 123 to supply the cold air generated by the evaporator 123 to the cooling chamber 120. In the lower region of the evaporator 123, a freezing chamber cold air return duct 127 is formed to guide the cold air circulated through the cooling chamber 120 to the evaporator 123 using the duct rear plate 133 as an interface.
그런데, 이와같이 후벽면(129)의 전방에 증발기(123)가 설치되고 다시 증발기(123)의 전방에 덕트후면판(133)이 마련되며, 덕트후면판(133)으로부터 소정의 이격거리를 두고 형성된 덕트전면판(131)이 덕트후면판(133)과 함께 냉기유로(135)를 형성함으로써, 후벽면(129)으로부터 냉기유로(135)가 먼 이격거리를 두고 형성되어 냉장고내 용적율이 저하되며, 이에 사용자가 사용할 수 있는 냉장고 내부공간이 좁아진다는 문제점이 있다.However, the evaporator 123 is installed in front of the rear wall surface 129 and the duct rear plate 133 is provided in front of the evaporator 123, and is formed at a predetermined distance from the duct rear plate 133. Since the duct front plate 131 forms the cold air flow passage 135 together with the duct rear plate 133, the cold air flow passage 135 is formed at a long distance from the rear wall surface 129, thereby decreasing the volume ratio in the refrigerator. Therefore, there is a problem that the internal space of the refrigerator that the user can use becomes narrow.
따라서, 본 발명의 목적은, 냉장고내 덕트구조를 개선하여 냉장고 용적율을 향상시킨 냉장고를 제공하는 것이다.Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator in which the refrigerator duct structure is improved to improve the refrigerator volume ratio.

The discharged cold and the cooling chamber are circulated and the cold air introduced into the evaporator is not mixed.
또한, 상기 냉기분배부는 냉기를 원주방향을 따라 인벌류트 곡선상으로 안내하는 부분원호상의 가이드벽을 갖으면, 증발기수용부로부터의 냉기를 토출덕트내로 효과적으로 유입시킬 수 있다.In addition, if the cold air distribution portion has a guide wall of a partial arc that guides the cold air in the involute curve along the circumferential direction, the cold air from the evaporator accommodating portion can be effectively introduced into the discharge duct.
여기서, 상기 가이드벽은 상기 송풍팬을 사이에 두고 상호 대향하도록 한 쌍으로 상기 덕트부재에 형성되며, 상기 가이드벽 중 상기 증발기수용부와 인접한 가이드벽에는 상기 송풍팬을 향해 반경반향으로 절곡된 측벽이 형성되어 있으면, 송풍팬에 의해 송풍되어 토출덕트로 향해야 하는 냉기가 증발기수용부로 유입되는 것을 방지할 수 있고, 증발기수용부로부터의 냉기를 효과적으로 송풍팬을 향해 안내할 수 있다.Here, the guide wall is formed in the duct member in a pair to face each other with the blowing fan therebetween, the side wall bent radially toward the blowing fan in the guide wall adjacent to the evaporator accommodating portion of the guide wall If it is formed, it is possible to prevent cold air blown by the blower fan and directed to the discharge duct to flow into the evaporator accommodating portion, and to effectively guide the cold air from the evaporator accommodating portion to the blower fan.
