Abstract

A refrigerator is disclosed. A freezing chamber evaporator and a chilling chamber evaporator are installed at an inner side of a partition wall that partitions a freezing chamber and a chilling chamber from each other. Accordingly, the freezing chamber and the chilling chamber have deep depths thus to have large available capacities, thereby freshly receiving a large amount of food items. Furthermore, a cool air channel is formed at the freezing chamber door and the chilling chamber door so as to be connected to a cool air channel of the partition wall. Accordingly, a temperature difference between an inner space and a door basket does not occur, thereby storing food or beverage items received in the door basket with a fresh state.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A refrigerator, comprising:
 a refrigerator body having an inner space opened/closed by a refrigerator door;   a partition wall having one or more first cool air channels therein and having a predetermined thickness and area, for partitioning the inner space of the refrigerator body into two ore more spaces;   one or more evaporators installed at the first cool air channels of the partition wall, for generating cool air; and   one or more fans installed at the first cool air channel, for supplying cool air generated from the evaporator to the corresponding space.   
   
   
       2 . The refrigerator of  claim 1 , wherein the first cool air channel is implemented in plurality in number so as to be respectively communicated with the spaces inside the refrigerator, and one or more evaporators and fans are installed at each of the first cool air channels. 
   
   
       3 . The refrigerator of  claim 1 , wherein one first cool air channel is formed at the spaces so as to be communicated with the spaces, one or more evaporators are installed at the first cool air channel, and a plurality of fans are installed at both sides of the first cool air channel so as to respectively supply cool air generated from the evaporator into each space inside the refrigerator. 
   
   
       4 . The refrigerator of  claim 1 , wherein a second cool air channel is formed at the refrigerator door so as to be communicated with the first cool air channel, and a cool air outlet for supplying cool air guided through the second cool air channel to the respective spaces is formed at an inner wall surface of the refrigerator door. 
   
   
       5 . The refrigerator of  claim 4 , wherein one or more door baskets are installed at an inner wall surface of the refrigerator door, and the cool air outlet is formed at each of the door baskets so as to be communicated therewith. 
   
   
       6 . A refrigerator, comprising:
 a refrigerator body having a freezing chamber that stores food with a frozen state, and a chilling chamber that stored food with a fresh state, the chambers partitioned from each other by a partition wall;   a freezing chamber door and a chilling chamber door coupled to the refrigerator body, for opening and closing the freezing chamber and the chilling chamber; and   a freezing chamber evaporator and a chilling chamber evaporator installed at the partition wall of the refrigerator body.   
   
   
       7 . The refrigerator of  claim 6 , wherein the freezing chamber evaporator and the chilling chamber evaporator are installed so as to have a predetermined gap therebetween in a height direction. 
   
   
       8 . The refrigerator of  claim 6 , wherein the freezing chamber evaporator and the chilling chamber evaporator are installed so as to have a predetermined gap therebetween in a depth direction. 
   
   
       9 . The refrigerator of  claim 6 , wherein the freezing chamber evaporator and the chilling chamber evaporator are installed such that one or more parts thereof are communicated with each other. 
   
   
       10 . The refrigerator of  claim 6 , wherein a plurality of first cool air channels for guiding cool air generated from the freezing chamber evaporator and the chilling chamber evaporator into the refrigerator are formed at the partition wall, and one or more second cool air channels are formed at least one of the freezing chamber door and the chilling chamber door so as to be communicated with the first cool air channel. 
   
   
       11 . The refrigerator of  claim 10 , wherein one or more cool air outlets are formed at an inner wall surface of the freezing chamber door or the chilling chamber door so that the second cool air channel can be communicated with each door basket of the freezing chamber door and the chilling chamber door. 
   
   
       12 . The refrigerator of  claim 6 , wherein the freezing chamber evaporator and the chilling chamber evaporator are individually connected to one compressor by a 3-way valve, or are closed by the 3-way valve. 
   
   
       13 . The refrigerator of  claim 10 , further comprising one or more fans installed at the first cool air channel for supplying cool air generated from the freezing chamber evaporator or the chilling chamber evaporator to the corresponding space.
