A refrigerator including: an inner case defining a storage compartment and including a plurality of plates respectively formed by injection molding; an outer case coupled to an outer side of the inner case; and an insulation material interposed between the inner case and the outer case. A first plate among the plurality of plates includes a first front flange defining a part of a front surface of the inner case, and a second plate among the plurality of plates includes a second front flange defining another part of the front surface of the inner case and coupled to the first front flange.

Refrigerator

A refrigerator includes an inner case, an outer case, and an insulating material. The refrigerator includes a first door, a second door where the second door is to open and close at least another portion of a storage compartment, a rotating bar rotatable with respect to the first door or the second door so that the rotating bar covers a gap between the first door and the second door while the first door and the second door are closed; and a rotation guide coupleable to the inner case to guide the rotating bar while the rotating bar is being rotated according to opening and closing of the first door or the second door. The inner case is formed to cover a front member of the rotation guide so that the front member of the rotation guide is unexposed to a front side of the inner case.

A refrigerator includes: an inner case including a plurality of plates formed by injection-molding; an outer case couplable with an exterior of the inner case; and an insulation between the inner case and the outer case. A first plate of the plurality of plates includes a first coupling portion formed along an edge of the first plate, and a second plate of the plurality of plates includes a second coupling portion formed along an edge of the second plate and couplable with the first coupling portion. The first coupling portion includes an insertion protrusion. The second coupling portion includes: an accommodating portion forming an accommodating groove in which the insertion protrusion is inserted; and a catching portion configured to prevent the insertion protrusion from departing from the accommodating groove; and an inner rib protruding from an inner surface of the accommodating portion to be inserted in the insertion groove.

A refrigerator includes: an inner case as assembled by a plurality of plates including an upper plate, a lower plate, a left plate, a right plate, and a rear plate, configured so that, while they are assembled with each other, form a storage compartment. At least one among the plurality of plate is injection molded. The refrigerator also includes an outer case configured to be coupleable to an outside of the inner case to form an external appearance; and a heat insulating material disposed between the inner case and the outer case. The at least one injection molded plate among the upper plate, the lower plate, the left plate, and the right plate includes a front flange integrally formed at a front side of the at least one injection molded plate, and the outer case is configured to be coupleable to the front flange.
