본 발명은 냉장고에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 하부에 냉동실과 상부에 냉장실이 마련되고, 이 냉장실의 도어에 제빙장치가 장착된 냉장고에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a refrigerator having a freezer compartment at a lower portion thereof and a refrigerating chamber at an upper portion thereof, and an ice-making device mounted on a door of the refrigerator compartment.
대한민국 공개특허 10-2006-0088143호에는 상부에 냉장실이 마련되고 하부에 냉동실이 마련된 냉장고가 개시되어 있다. 상기의 냉장실은 두 개의 냉장실도어가 양쪽으로 개폐되는 양문형 냉장고의 형태로 이루어지는데, 두 개의 냉장실도어 중 일측에는 얼음의 제조를 위한 제빙장치가 배치된 제빙실이 마련되어 있다. Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2006-0088143 discloses a refrigerator provided with a refrigerating compartment in an upper portion and a freezing compartment in a lower portion thereof. The refrigerating chamber is formed in the form of a two-door refrigerator in which two refrigerating chamber doors are opened and closed on both sides. One side of the two refrigerating chamber doors is provided with an ice making unit in which an ice making device for manufacturing ice is disposed.
이때, 제빙실은 하부의 냉동실 쪽으로부터 냉기가 공급될 수 있도록 냉기덕트를 통해 냉동실과 연통된다. 이를 위해 냉기덕트는 하단부가 냉동실의 후방 내측 즉, 증발기가 마련된 냉각부에 연통되고 상단부가 냉장실의 일측 벽면에 형성된다. 그리고 제빙실의 일측면에는 냉장실도어가 닫혔을 때 냉기덕트를 통해 제빙실로 냉기가 유입되도록 냉기덕트의 상단부와 접하는 냉기구가 형성된다.At this time, the ice making chamber is in communication with the freezing chamber through the cold air duct so that cold air can be supplied from the freezing chamber side of the lower portion. To this end, the cold air duct is connected to the rear side of the freezer compartment, that is, the cooling unit provided with the evaporator, and the upper end is formed on one side wall of the refrigerating compartment. One side of the ice making chamber is provided with a cold appliance contacting the upper end of the cold air duct so that cold air flows into the ice making chamber through the cold air duct when the refrigerator door is closed.
그러나 종래의 냉장고에서는 냉장실도어를 열었을 때 제빙실의 냉기구와 냉기덕트의 상단부가 접촉되지 않게 되어 냉기덕트의 냉기가 제빙실의 내부로 유입되지 않거나 제빙실의 냉기가 냉기덕트로 토출되지 않는 문제점이 있다. However, in the conventional refrigerator, when the refrigerating chamber door is opened, the cold appliance of the ice making chamber and the upper end of the cold duct are not in contact with each other, so that the cold air duct does not flow into the ice making chamber or the cold air of the ice making chamber is not discharged into the cold air duct. have.

At this time, each connecting member (71, 72) is made of a flexible bellows pipe so that the cold air can be introduced and discharged not only when the refrigerating
이하 도면을 참조하여 본 발명에 따른 냉장고의 작용효과를 설명하면 다음과 같다.Referring to the drawings will be described the operation and effect of the refrigerator according to the present invention.
본 발명에서는 냉동실(12)의 후방에 설치된 냉동실 냉각부(30)에 의해 냉기가 생성되어 이 냉동실(12)에 수납된 저장물을 냉동저장 하게 되는데, 이 냉기 중 일부가 냉기유입덕트(61)로 유동된다. In the present invention, the cold air is generated by the freezer
이와 같이 냉기유입덕트(61)로 유동된 냉기는 이 냉기유입덕트(61)와 연결된 제1연결부재(71)에 의해 이 제1연결부재(71)와 연결된 냉기유입구(56)로 유동되게 되어 제빙실(50) 내부를 얼음을 만들기 위한 환경으로 만든다. The cold air flowing into the cold
이후, 제빙실(50) 내부로 유입된 냉기는 다시 냉기토출구(57)를 통해 제빙실(50)의 외부로 토출되는데, 이 냉기토출구(57)와 연결된 제2연결부재(72)를 통해 냉기토출덕트(62)로 냉기가 유동되어 냉장실(11) 또는 냉동실(12)의 냉기순환유로로 유동되게 된다.Thereafter, the cold air introduced into the ice-making
한편, 본 발명에서는 상기의 과정에서 냉기유입덕트(61)와 냉기유입구(56)의 사이 및 냉기토출덕트(62)와 냉기토출구(57)의 사이에 신축 가능한 연결부재(70)가 마련됨으로써 냉장실도어(14)가 닫혀 있는 상태뿐만 아니라 냉장실도어(14)가 열려 있는 상태에서도 제빙실(50)로 냉기가 유입될 수 있으며 제빙실(50)의 냉기가 토출될 수 있다. On the other hand, in the present invention, the refrigerating chamber by providing a flexible connecting
이상에서 설명한 바와 같이 본 발명에 따른 냉장고는 제빙실에 형성된 냉기구와 본체에 형성된 냉기덕트의 사이에 신축 가능한 연결부재가 마련됨으로써 냉장실도어가 열렸을 경우에도 냉기가 제빙실로 유입되거나 제빙실의 냉기가 토출될 수 있는 효과가 있다. As described above, the refrigerator according to the present invention is provided with a flexible connecting member between the cold appliance formed in the ice making chamber and the cold air duct formed in the main body, so that even when the refrigerating chamber door is opened, cold air flows into the ice making chamber or discharged cold air from the ice making chamber. There is an effect that can be.
