Benefits of technology

This approach ensures improved insulating qualities of the partitions, maintaining temperature consistency and freshness across the storage chambers, even in larger refrigerators.

Problems solved by technology

However, as refrigerators have gradually increased in size, the partitions are increased in size.
Therefore, when the insulator fills the space between the inner casing and the outer casing, the insulator may not uniformly fill the partitions.

Embodiment Construction

[0053]Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present disclosure, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout.

[0054]As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a refrigerator comprises a main body 10, a storage space 50 formed in the main body 10 and having an opened front portion, doors 60 hingedly coupled to the main body 10 in order to open and close the opened front portion of the storage space 50, and partitions 100 provided in the main body 10 in order to divide the storage space 50 into the plurality of storage chambers.

[0055]The main body 10 includes an inner casing 20 to define the storage space 50, and an outer casing 30 to define an appearance of the refrigerator. An insulator 40 fills a space between the inner casing 20 and the outer casing 30 in order to prevent outflow of cold air from the storage space 50.

[0056]The refrigerator further comprises a cold air supply device (not shown)...

Abstract

A refrigerator and a manufacturing method thereof including processes of separately manufacturing partitions dividing a storage space into a plurality of storage chambers from a main body including an inner casing and an outer casing, coupling the partitions to an inner surface of the inner casing, filling a space between the inner casing and the partitions with an insulator, and filling the partitions with the insulator by filling a space between the inner casing and the outer casing with the insulator. Since the insulator uniformly fills the partitions dividing the storage space into the plurality of storage chambers, the partitions may possess improved insulating qualities.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 939,662, filed on Jul. 11, 2013, which is currently pending, and claims the priority benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2012-0075903, filed on Jul. 12, 2012 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosures of each of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field[0003]Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a refrigerator equipped with a plurality of storage chambers divided by partitions and a manufacturing method of the refrigerator.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]In general, a refrigerator is an appliance which is used to keep foods in a fresh state and is provided with storage chambers and a cold air supply device to supply cold air to the storage chambers.[0006]A temperature of the storage chambers is maintained within a range required to keep foods in a fresh state.[0007]The storage chambers have an...
