An upper portion of the front plate portion 25 is formed with a recessed portion 26 recessed in the thickness direction, and the recessed portion 26 allows the control panel 31 to select an operation mode of each of the storage chambers 13 and 17. Is combined. The control panel 31 includes a plurality of operation buttons 32 and dials 33 for function setting, and a display panel 34 on which predetermined information is displayed.

By the way, in the conventional Kimchi refrigerator, the front plate portion 25 is frequently in contact with other objects, so that the surface is easily scratched, etc., in particular, in the case of contact with a portion such as the corner of the other object is generated appearance There is a problem that impairs the dignity.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an outer case of a kimchi refrigerator that can suppress damage and deformation of the front part and prevent deterioration in appearance quality.

The above object, according to the present invention, both side plate portions disposed perpendicular to both sides along the left and right directions of the main body; A front plate portion disposed along the left and right directions of the main body so as to block the front regions of both side plate portions; An upper plate portion disposed to block the upper sides of the side plate portions and the front plate portion; Square plate-shaped deco member disposed in the depression formed in a predetermined depth on the front surface of the front plate; A first decor support member coupled to each of the front plate to form a fastening force along different directions, and to receive and support two edges of the decor member parallel to each other so that a space between the decor member and the recess is formed; It is achieved by the outer case of the kimchi refrigerator characterized in that it comprises a second decor support member.

Here, the first decor support member and the second decor support member is preferably coupled to the upper and lower regions of the decor member, respectively.

It is effective that the first decor support member and the second decor support member are respectively coupled to both side portions of the decor member.

It further comprises a control panel coupled to the front surface of the front plate portion having a reduced length compared to the left and right directions of the front plate portion, wherein the front plate portion is provided with a recess so that the control panel can be recessed along the thickness direction The control panel is preferably disposed above the decor member.

The decor member is effectively formed of any one of a glass member and a metal member.

The decor member is formed of a glass member, it is preferable that a printing layer is formed on one side surface of the decor member.

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

Figure 2 is a view showing a state of use of the outer case of the kimchi refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of the deco member region of Figure 2, Figures 4 and 5 are respectively decorated deco An enlarged longitudinal sectional view and a plan sectional view of a member area | region. The same reference numerals and the same components as the above-described and illustrated configurations are denoted by the same reference numerals for convenience of description, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. As shown in these figures, the outer case 41 of the present Kimchi refrigerator, both the rear plate portion (not shown) disposed vertically along the left and right direction in the rear region of the main body 11, and both sides along the longitudinal direction of the rear plate portion; A front plate portion 45 which cuts off between both side plate portions 24 disposed at right angles along the front and rear directions, and both side plate portions 24 disposed along the left and right directions on the front surfaces of both side plate portions 24; The first decor support member 53 and the second decor support member for receiving and supporting the decorative member 51 disposed on the front surface of the front plate portion 45 and the two edges arranged side by side of the decor member 51 ( 57).

The front plate portion 45 is formed to have a length corresponding to the left and right directions of the main body 11 and the upper and lower widths connecting the upper edge portion of the upper plate portion 27 and the lower storage chamber 17. The front of the front plate 45 is formed with a depression 46 recessed along the thickness direction so that the control panel 31 and the decor member 51 can be coupled, the interior of the depression 46 in the vertical direction Along the control panel 31 and the decoration member 51 is coupled.

Here, the deco member 51 is formed to have a rectangular plate shape with any one of a glass member or a metal member such as aluminum (Al), in this embodiment, the print layer 52 of a predetermined shape on the front plate 45 side plate surface. ) Is formed of a glass member.

On the other hand, the upper and lower edges of the decor member 51 is coupled to the first decor support member 53 and the second decor support member 57 so as to accommodate the upper edge and the lower edge of the decor member 51, respectively The third decorative member 61 is coupled to both sides.

The first decor support member 53 and the third decor support member 61 are “Ｕ” cross-sections in which the receiving grooves 54 and 62 are formed to accommodate the upper edges and both edges of the decor member 51, respectively. It has a shape, and a plurality of screw holes 55, 63 are formed through the back side of each of the decor member 51 so that the screw 56, the front end portion is fastened to the front plate portion 45 can pass through.

The second decor support member 57 has a "Ｕ" cross-sectional shape in which the receiving groove 58 is formed to accommodate the lower edge of the decor member 51, and the rear edge has a bottom surface of the front plate portion 45. The engaging portion 59 is formed to protrude in the thickness direction and extend in the longitudinal direction so as to be contacted. A plurality of screw holes 63 are formed in the coupling portion 59 so that a plurality of screws 56 fastened to the bottom of the front plate portion 45 can pass therethrough.

With this configuration, when the deco member 51 is to be coupled, firstly, the first deco supporting member 53 is disposed below the control panel 31 to be integral with the front plate portion 45 by the screw 56. To be coupled to, and the third decor support member 61 is coupled to each side of the first decor support member 53 along the vertical direction. Next, when both side edges of the deco member 51 are inserted into the receiving grooves 62 of the third decor support member 61 and upwardly pressed, the deco member 51 slides upward, and the upper edge of the first deco support member ( 53 is inserted into the receiving groove 54 of. The lower edge of the decor member 51 is coupled to be inserted into the receiving groove 58 of the second decor support member 57, the screw 56 to the engaging portion 59 of the second decor support member 57 The second decor support member 57 is coupled to the front plate portion 45 so as to be integrally coupled to each other.

On the other hand, when the deco member 51 is damaged or deformed on the surface during use, the second deco support member 57 is separated and then the damaged or deformed deco member 51 is replaced with a new deco member 51. It is possible to prevent deterioration of appearance quality due to damage and deformation of the front part.
