본 발명은 냉장고에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 저장공간의 확대를 위해 냉각실과 기계실이 본체의 상부에 마련되는 냉장고에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a refrigerator in which a cooling chamber and a machine chamber are provided on an upper portion of a main body for expanding a storage space.
일반적으로 냉장고는 증발기에서 생성된 냉기를 저장실로 공급하여 각종식품의 신선도를 장기간 유지할 수 있도록 한 장치이다. 최근에는 대용량의 저장실을 선호하는 소비자가 늘어남에 따라 냉장고의 크기가 점차 대형화되는 추세에 있는데, 이러한 것으로는 냉동실과 냉장실이 좌우로 분할되는 형태의 병립형 냉장고가 있다.In general, the refrigerator is a device for supplying the cold air generated in the evaporator to the storage compartment to maintain the freshness of various foods for a long time. Recently, as the number of consumers who prefer a large storage room has increased, the size of the refrigerator has gradually increased, such as a parallel refrigerator having a freezer compartment and a refrigerator compartment divided into left and right sides.
병립형 냉장고는 본체 내부의 저장실이 중간벽에 의해 좌우로 구획되어서 각각 냉동실과 냉장실을 이루도록 되어 있으며, 냉동실과 냉장실의 전면에는 이들을 개폐하는 냉동실도어와 냉장실도어가 각각 설치되어 있다. 냉동실과 냉장실 및 각 도어의 내면에는 저장물의 보관을 위한 다수의 선반과 보관상자 등이 마련되어 있다. 냉동실과 냉장실의 내측 후벽에는 냉동실과 냉장실의 내부로 냉기를 공급하기 위한 것으로 각각 증발기와 냉기순환팬, 그리고 냉기유로를 형성하는 냉기덕트가 설치되어 있으며, 냉기덕트 전면에 다수의 냉기토출구와 냉기흡입구가 마련되어 있다. 또한 본체의 후방 하측에는 응축기, 압축기, 냉각팬 등을 수용하도록 냉동실 및 냉장실과 구획된 기계실이 형성되어 있다. In the parallel refrigerator, the storage compartment inside the main body is divided into left and right sides by an intermediate wall to form a freezer compartment and a refrigerating compartment, and freezer doors and refrigerating chamber doors that open and close them are respectively installed in front of the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment.
