일반적으로 냉장고는 냉동사이클을 이용하여 냉기를 제공하여 음식물을 냉각시키거나 또는 부패를 방지함으로 음식물을 신선한 상태로 장기간 보관하는 장치로서, 영하의 온도 상태에서 음식물을 보관하는 냉동실과 영상의 온도 상태에서 음식물을 보관하는 냉장실이 칸막이에 의해 구획 설치된다.Generally, a refrigerator is a device for storing food in a fresh state for a long time by providing cold air by using a refrigeration cycle to prevent food or preventing corruption. A refrigerator compartment for storing food is partitioned by partitions.

종래의 냉장고는 도 1에 도시된 바와 같이, 냉동실(F)이 냉장실(R)의 옆에 위치되고, 상기 냉동실(F)과 냉장실(R)의 사이에 냉동실(F)과 냉장실(R)을 별도의 공간으로 구획하는 칸막이(10)가 설치된다.In the conventional refrigerator, as shown in FIG. 1, the freezer compartment F is positioned next to the refrigerator compartment R, and the freezer compartment F and the refrigerator compartment R are disposed between the freezer compartment F and the refrigerator compartment R. As shown in FIG. The partition 10 partitioned into a separate space is provided.

상기 냉동실(F)에는 냉매의 열교환을 통해 주위로부터 열을 흡수하면서 냉매가 증발되는 증발기(20)가 설치되고, 상기 증발기(20)를 통한 냉기를 냉장실(R)로 송풍하기 위한 송풍팬(26)이 설치된다.The freezer compartment F is provided with an evaporator 20 in which the refrigerant is evaporated while absorbing heat from the surroundings through heat exchange of the refrigerant, and a blowing fan 26 for blowing cold air through the evaporator 20 to the refrigerating chamber R. ) Is installed.

상기 냉장실(R)에는 냉장실 내부 공간을 복수개의 저장공간(R1,R2,R3,R4)으로 구분하고 음식물 또는 용기가 올려지도록 냉장실(R)의 상부에서 하부까지 일정간격으로 선반(32a,32b,32c,32d)이 설치되고, 최상측 선반(32a)의 위에는 냉기를 분배하는 냉기 분배기(34)가 장착된다.The refrigerating compartment (R) is divided into a plurality of storage space (R1, R2, R3, R4) the interior space of the refrigerating compartment (Ra) 32a, 32b, at regular intervals from the top to the bottom of the refrigerating compartment (R) to raise food or containers 32c and 32d are provided, and the cold air distributor 34 which distributes cold air is mounted on the uppermost shelf 32a.

상기 선반(32a,32b,32c,32d)의 각각은 도 2에 도시된 바와 같이, 그 선단과냉장실(R)의 전면과의 공간이 냉기의 통로(33)가 될 수 있도록 냉장실의 전면과 이격된 상태로 배치되어, 저장공간(R1,R2,R3,R4)에 위치하는 냉기와 냉기의 통로(33)를 지나는 냉기가 전도에 의해 열전달이 이루어지도록 한다.Each of the shelves 32a, 32b, 32c, and 32d is spaced apart from the front side of the refrigerating compartment so that the space between the front end of the shelf 32 and the front side of the refrigerating compartment R can be the passage 33 for cold air. It is arranged in a state so that the cold air passing through the passage of the cold and cold air located in the storage spaces (R1, R2, R3, R4) 33 is made to conduct heat transfer by conduction.

상기 칸막이(10)의 상부에는 상기 냉동실(R)에서 증발기(20)를 통한 냉기가 송풍기(26)에 의해 냉장실(R)의 냉기 분배기(34) 측으로 토출될 수 있도록 냉기 토출덕트(12)가 형성되고, 상기 칸막이(10)의 하부에는 상기 냉장실(R)을 지나면서 각각의 선반(32a,32b,32c,32d)에 올려진 음식물을 낮은 온도상태에서 냉장시키는 냉기가 냉동실(F)로 흡입될 수 있도록 냉기 흡입덕트(14)가 형성된다.A cold air discharge duct 12 is provided at the upper part of the partition 10 so that cool air from the freezer compartment R through the evaporator 20 may be discharged to the cold air distributor 34 of the refrigerating compartment R by the blower 26. It is formed, the lower portion of the partition 10 is passed through the refrigerating chamber (R) while the cold air to cool the food placed on each shelf (32a, 32b, 32c, 32d) at a low temperature suction into the freezer compartment (F) The cold air suction duct 14 is formed.

한편, 상기 냉장고는 상기 증발기(20)를 통한 냉매를 저온저압의 기체상태의 냉매를 압축하여 고온고압의 기체상태로 만들기 위해 냉장고의 기계실(미도시)에 설치된 압축기(미도시)와, 상기 압축기에서 나오는 기체냉매를 고압의 액체상태로 응축되면서 냉매가 지닌 열을 외부로 방출하는 응축기(미도시)와, 상기 응축기를 거친 고압의 액체상태의 냉매를 감압시키는 모세관(미도시)을 포함하는 냉동사이클이 설치된다.The refrigerator may include a compressor (not shown) installed in a machine room (not shown) of the refrigerator to compress the refrigerant through the evaporator 20 into a gaseous state of high temperature and high pressure by compressing a refrigerant of low temperature and low pressure gaseous state, and the compressor. A refrigeration comprising a condenser (not shown) for condensing the gas refrigerant from the high-pressure liquid state to release the heat of the refrigerant to the outside, and a capillary tube (not shown) for reducing the high-pressure liquid refrigerant through the condenser The cycle is installed.

상기와 같이 구성된 종래 기술의 동작을 살펴보면 다음과 같다.Looking at the operation of the prior art configured as described above are as follows.

먼저, 냉동사이클의 구동에 의해 상기 증발기(20)에는 저온저압의 냉매가 흐르게 되고, 냉동실(F) 내의 공기는 증발기(20)를 표면을 지나면서 저온의 냉매와 열교환되어 저온의 냉기로 변화되며, 이 냉기는 냉동실(F)에 저장된 음식물을 영하의 저온 상태로 유지시키면서 상기 송풍팬(26)에 의해 압송되어 상기 칸막이(10)의 냉기 토출덕트(12)로 유입된다. 그리고, 상기 냉기 토출덕트(12)를 통한 냉매는 냉매 분배기(34)에 의해 냉장실(R) 내의 냉기의 통로(33)을 지나면서 하측으로 이동된 후 최하측의 저장공간(32d)과 냉기 흡입덕트(14)를 차례로 냉동실(F)로 다시 순환된다.First, a low temperature low pressure refrigerant flows through the evaporator 20 by driving a refrigeration cycle, and the air in the freezer compartment F is exchanged with a low temperature coolant while passing through a surface of the evaporator 20 to change into a low temperature cold. The cold air is pressurized by the blower fan 26 while maintaining the food stored in the freezing chamber F at a low temperature below zero and flows into the cold air discharge duct 12 of the partition 10. Then, the refrigerant through the cold air discharge duct 12 is moved downward by passing through the passage 33 of the cold air in the refrigerating chamber (R) by the refrigerant distributor 34, and then the storage space (32d) and cold air suction of the lowermost side The duct 14 is in turn circulated back to the freezer compartment F.

이때, 상기 냉기의 통로(33)를 지나는 냉기는 상기 저장공간(R1,R2,R3) 내의 냉기와 전도에 의한 열전달이 이루어져 선반(32a,32b,32c)의 위에 올려진 음식물의 저온 상태를 유지시킨다.At this time, the cold air passing through the passage 33 of the cold air is heat-transfer by the cold and conduction in the storage space (R1, R2, R3) is maintained to maintain a low temperature state of the food placed on the shelves (32a, 32b, 32c) Let's do it.

그러나, 종래의 냉장고는 증발기(20)를 통한 냉기가 최하측 저장공간(R4)을 제외한 나머지 저장공간(R1,R2,R3)으로는 열전도에 의해서만 열전달이 이루어져 냉장실(R) 내부의 온도편차가 생기고 냉각속도가 저하되는 문제점이 있다.However, in the conventional refrigerator, the heat is only transferred by the heat conduction to the remaining storage spaces R1, R2, and R3 except for the lowest storage space R4, except that the cold air through the evaporator 20 has a temperature deviation in the refrigerating chamber R. There is a problem that the cooling rate is generated.

본 발명은 상기한 종래 기술의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 안출된 것으로서, 냉장실 내부로 토출된 냉기가 복수개의 저장공간 각각으로 유입되도록 하여 냉장실의 온도편차를 줄이고 냉장성능을 향상시키는 냉장고의 냉장실 유로 구조를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the refrigerator compartment flow path structure of the refrigerator to reduce the temperature deviation of the refrigerator compartment and improve the refrigeration performance by allowing the cold air discharged into the refrigerator compartment into each of the plurality of storage spaces; The purpose is to provide.
