DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a heat insulating structure of a partition for vertically partitioning a refrigerator.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 1, for example, a box body of a conventional refrigerator comprises an outer box 1 and an inner box 2, and the space therebetween is filled with a foamed heat insulating material. Inside the inner box 2, for example, a partitioning body 3 for forming a freezing compartment at an upper portion and a refrigerating compartment at a lower portion is provided. The partition 3 is composed of a heat insulator 14 as shown in FIG.
16, a front plate 17 placed on the front of the heat insulator 14, and this front plate
A hot pipe 18 and the like are arranged between the heat insulator 17 and the heat insulator 14 to prevent the surface of the front plate 17 from being exposed. The hot pipe 18 is formed so as to protrude forward from the flange portion of the outer box 1 to the inside of the partition 3 as shown by a broken line in FIG. As shown in FIG.
Has a flange 17a protruding inward in the vertical direction, is formed in a U-shaped cross section, and the plate members 15, 16 are in surface contact with the flange 17a. For this reason, there is a problem that the heat of the front plate 17 is easily transmitted to the inside of the refrigerator and the low temperature in the refrigerator is easily transmitted to the outside, so that the temperature in the refrigerator is increased and the surface of the front plate is exposed.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, the present invention reduces the heat transfer between the front plate and the upper and lower plate members constituting the partition, thereby increasing the temperature inside the refrigerator and increasing the temperature of the front plate surface. It is an object of the present invention to provide a refrigerator that can prevent the dew from being exposed.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. A heat insulator and a plate which covers the upper and lower surfaces of the heat insulator are provided in a box comprising an outer box and an inner box. Body, a partition body consisting of a U-shaped front plate having upper and lower flanges to cover the front surface of the heat insulator is provided, partitioned into a freezing compartment and a refrigerator compartment, and between the front plate and the heat insulator. In a refrigerator provided with a hot pipe for preventing dew condensation, the heat insulator is interposed between the plate and the flange, which cover the upper and lower surfaces. Further, the tip of the plate is brought into contact with the outer periphery of the flange, and a recess is formed between the plate and the flange. In addition, the tip of the plate was formed in an R shape.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A partitioning body for separating a freezer compartment and a refrigerator compartment has a heat-insulating body, a plate body covering both upper and lower surfaces of the heat-insulating body, and a U-shaped cross section having upper and lower flanges covering the front surface of the heat insulating body. In a refrigerator comprising a front plate, wherein a hot pipe for preventing dew is arranged between the front plate and the heat insulator,
By having a configuration in which the heat insulator is interposed between the plate body and the flanges that cover the upper and lower surfaces, heat transfer between the front plate and the upper and lower plate bodies that constitute the partition body is reduced, and the temperature rise in the refrigerator and A refrigerator capable of preventing dew on the front plate surface.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of a refrigerator box, in which 1 is an outer box made of a steel plate, 2 is an inner box made of plastic, 3 is an upper and lower partition of the inner box 2, and a freezer compartment is provided on an upper portion and a lower portion is provided on a lower portion. Is a partition body forming a refrigerator compartment. The partition body 3 includes a pre-formed heat insulator 4 as shown in FIG. 2, plates 5 and 6 covered on both upper and lower surfaces of the heat insulator 4, and a front plate 7 covered on the front surface of the heat insulator 4 and the like. A hot pipe 8 for preventing dew is arranged between the front plate 7 and the heat insulator 4.

FIG. 3 is a side view of AA in FIG. 1. The plates 5 and 6 are bent in an R-shape so that the front ends face inward. On the other hand, the front plate 7
Has a flange 7a protruding inward vertically and is formed in a U-shaped cross section. The distal ends of the plate members 5 and 6 are brought into contact with the outer periphery of the flange 7a, and concave portions 5a and 6a are formed with a predetermined space between the plate member and the flange. The heat insulator 4 is in contact with the plates 5, 6 and the front plate 7 and is interposed in the recess 5a.

In the above structure, the front plate 7 and the upper and lower plates 5 and 6 constituting the partition 3 are in contact only at the tip of the plate,
Since the other portions are covered with the heat insulator 4 and are thermally insulated, the heat transfer between the front plate 7 and the plates 5 and 6 is reduced. As a result, since the heat of the front plate 7 is not transmitted to the inside of the refrigerator and the low temperature of the refrigerator is not transmitted to the outside, the refrigerator can prevent the temperature inside the refrigerator from rising and prevent the surface of the front plate from being exposed.

[0009]

As described above, according to the refrigerator according to the present invention, the transfer of heat between the front plate and the upper and lower plate members constituting the partition body is reduced, and the temperature inside the refrigerator rises and the surface of the front plate is reduced. It becomes a refrigerator that can prevent dew.
