Refrigerator

Abstract

The invention provides a refrigerator capable of uniformly supplying cooling air to an entire storeroom without increasing production cost and decreasing productivity. The refrigerator comprises a cooling air distributing unit having passage forming components. The passage forming components consists of a plurality of restrictive passages which are used for inducing the cooling air transferred from a cooling chamber to the store room. A plurality of side discharging slots are formed on opposite side surfaces of the passage forming components used for discharging the cooling air toward opposite side direction. Furthermore, a plurality of front discharging slots are formed on front surfaces of the passage forming components used for discharging the cooling air toward the front surface of the passage forming components. The cooling air from the side discharging slots moves along the side and back surfaces opposite to the cooling chamber as well as cools margin area of the cooling chamber. In addition, the cooling air from the front discharging slots cools central area of the cooling chamber. Thus, the cooling chamber is uniformly cooled and shows an improved temperature distribution.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a refrigerator having an improved discharge structure for supplying cold air into a storage room without increasing the manufacturing cost of the product and without reducing productivity. In this case, the uniform cooling of the storage room is realized. Background technique [0002] The refrigerator includes a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator that generates cool air by utilizing thermal motion according to a phase change of refrigerant. The generated cold air is supplied to the storage chamber of the refrigerator storing various foods through a predetermined path to ensure that the various foods are kept fresh for a long time. [0003] Generally, an evaporator for generating cool air is installed in a space behind the storage room. In this way, a plurality of cool air discharge grooves through which cool air generated by ...
