Abstract

A refrigerator is disclosed, comprising, a partition member configured to partition a front opening of a cooling chamber into a plurality of small openings, and an assembly guide formed between the partition member and a refrigerator main body and configured to guide the coupling of the partition member, whereby the partition member can fast easily be coupled to an accurate position and a malfunction and a leakage of cold air can be avoided.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A refrigerator comprising:
 a refrigerator main body having a cooling chamber;   a partition member coupled to a front portion of the cooling chamber and configured to partition a front opening of the cooling chamber into a plurality of small openings; and   an assembly guide formed between the partition member and the refrigerator main body and configured to guide the coupling of the partition to member.   
     
     
         2 . The refrigerator of  claim 1 , wherein the assembly guide comprises:
 a first switch and a second switch both coupled to the partition member to protrude towards the refrigerator main body and contacting doors disposed at both sides of the partition member; and   a first switch receiving portion and a second switch receiving portion formed in the refrigerator main body and each configured to receive at least one region of the corresponding switch.   
     
     
         3 . The refrigerator of  claim 2 , wherein the partition member is coupled to the refrigerator main body in a right-and-left direction. 
     
     
         4 . The refrigerator of  claim 3 , wherein the first switch and the second switch are all disposed at one end portion of the partition member. 
     
     
         5 . The refrigerator of  claim 4 , wherein the assembly guide further comprises:
 a protrusion protruding from another end portion of the partition member towards the refrigerator main body; and   an accommodating portion formed in the refrigerator main body to accommodate the protrusion.   
     
     
         6 . The refrigerator of  claim 3 , wherein the first switch and the second switch are disposed at both end portions of the partition member, respectively. 
     
     
         7 . The refrigerator of  claim 3 , wherein the first switch receiving portion and the second switch receiving portion are formed to be open towards a central portion of the cooling chamber. 
     
     
         8 . The refrigerator of  claim 2 , wherein the partition member is coupled to the refrigerator main body in an up-and-down direction. 
     
     
         9 . The refrigerator of  claim 8 , wherein the first switch and the second switch are all disposed at one end portion of the partition member. 
     
     
         10 . The refrigerator of  claim 9 , wherein the assembly guide further comprises:
 a protrusion protruding from another end portion of the partition member towards the refrigerator main body; and   an accommodating portion formed in the refrigerator main body to accommodate the protrusion.   
     
     
         11 . The refrigerator of  claim 8 , wherein the first switch and the second switch are disposed at both end portions of the partition member, respectively. 
     
     
         12 . The refrigerator of  claim 8 , wherein the first switch receiving portion and the second switch receiving portion are formed to be open towards a central portion of the cooling chamber. 
     
     
         13 . The refrigerator of  claim 1 , wherein the assembly guide comprises:
 a protrusion protruding from the partition member towards the refrigerator main body; and   an accommodating portion formed in the refrigerator main body to accommodate the protrusion.   
     
     
         14 . The refrigerator of  claim 13 , wherein the protrusion is formed in plurality at both sides of the partition member. 
     
     
         15 . The refrigerator of  claim 14 , wherein switches are disposed at the protrusions to be contactable with doors disposed at both sides of the partition member. 
     
     
         16 . The refrigerator of  claim 13 , wherein the protrusion is formed at one side of the partition member, and a switch contactable with a door disposed at one side of the partition member is coupled to another side of the partition member to protrude towards the refrigerator main body. 
     
     
         17 . A refrigerator comprising:
 a refrigerator main body having a cooling chamber;   a partition member coupled to a front portion of the cooling chamber and configured to partition a front opening of the cooling chamber into a plurality of small openings;   switches coupled to at least one end portion of the partition member; and   switch receiving portions formed in the refrigerator main body and each configured to receive at least one region of the corresponding switch so as to guide the partition member upon coupling the partition member.   
     
     
         18 . The refrigerator of  claim 17 , further comprising:
 a protrusion protruding from at least one end portion of the partition member; and   an accommodating portion formed in the refrigerator main body to accommodate the protrusion.
