Refrigerator

Abstract

A refrigerator is disclosed. A freezing chamber evaporator and a cooling chamber evaporator are installed at an inner side of a ceiling surface of a freezing chamber and a cooling chamber. Accordingly, the freezing chamber and the cooling chamber have deeper 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 cooling chamber door so as to be connected to a cool air channel of the ceiling surface. 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 in a fresh condition.

1 . A refrigerator, comprising:
 a refrigerator body having an inner space open/closed by a refrigerator door and having a first cool air channel at an inner side of a ceiling surface of the inner space;   one or more evaporators installed at the first cool air channel of the refrigerator body, for generating cool air; and   one or more fans installed at the first cool air channel, for supplying the cool air generated from the evaporator to the corresponding space.   
   
   
       2 . 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 corresponding space is formed at an inner wall surface of the refrigerator door. 
   
   
       3 . The refrigerator of  claim 2 , wherein one or more door baskets are installed at the 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. 
   
   
       4 . A refrigerator, comprising:
 a refrigerator body having an inner space open/closed by a refrigerator door, the inner space partitioned into at least two spaces by a partition wall, wherein at least one of the inner spaces is respectively provided with a first cool air channel at an inner side of a ceiling surface thereof;   one or more evaporators installed at the first cool air channel of the refrigerator body, for generating cool air; and   one or more fans installed at the first cool air channel, for supplying the cool air generated from the evaporator to the corresponding space.   
   
   
       5 . The refrigerator of  claim 4 , wherein the first cool air channel is formed at the inner side of the ceiling surface of each space so as to communicate the respective spaces with each other, the evaporator is installed at one of the spaces, and the fans are individually installed at the respective spaces. 
   
   
       6 . The refrigerator of  claim 4 , wherein the first cool air channel is separately formed at the inner side of the ceiling surface of each space, and the evaporators and the fans are individually installed at the respective spaces. 
   
   
       7 . The refrigerator of  claim 4 , 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 the inner wall surface of the refrigerator door. 
   
   
       8 . The refrigerator of  claim 7 , wherein one or more door baskets are installed at the inner wall surface of the refrigerator door, and the cool air outlet is formed at each of the door baskets so as to be individually communicated therewith. 
   
   
       9 . A refrigerator, comprising:
 a refrigerator body having a freezing chamber for storing food in a freezing manner and a cooling chamber for storing food in a cooling manner, the chambers partitioned from each other by a partition wall;   a freezing chamber door and a cooling chamber door coupled to the refrigerator body so as to open or close the freezing chamber and the cooling chamber; and   a freezing chamber evaporator and a cooling chamber evaporator respectively installed at an inner side of a ceiling surface of the freezing chamber and the cooling chamber of the refrigerator body.   
   
   
       10 . The refrigerator of  claim 9 , wherein a first cool air channel for guiding cool air generated from the freezing chamber evaporator and the cooling chamber evaporator into the refrigerator is formed at the inner side of each ceiling surface of the freezing chamber and the cooling chamber, and one or more second cool air channels are formed at least one of the freezing chamber door and the cooling 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 cooling chamber door so that the second cool air channel can be individually communicated with each door basket of the freezing chamber door and the cooling chamber door. 
   
   
       12 . The refrigerator of  claim 9 , wherein the freezing chamber evaporator and the cooling 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 , wherein 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 cooling chamber evaporator to the corresponding space.
