Disclosed herein is a refrigerator which has an improved structure to increase insulating properties. The refrigerator includes a body including an inner casing and an outer casing, a storage compartment formed in the inner casing, an insulator provided between the inner casing and the outer casing to insulate the storage compartment, and a frame unit which is disposed between the adjacent insulators to ensure stiffness of the body and includes at least one coupling surface coupled with at least one of the inner casing and the outer casing.

Refrigerator

Provided is an inner structure of a vacuum insulator with an assembly reciprocating support to increase an insulation performance, the structure of the vacuum insulator including a top board, a bottom board, and an assembly reciprocating support installed perpendicularly between the top board and the bottom board, the assembly reciprocating support including a solid shaft, a hollow shaft, and a connection part.

Structure of vacuum insulator with assembly reciprocating support

The vacuum insulator includes an internal structure; a filler for filling empty spaces of the internal structure; and an envelope having an upper envelope composed of a metal layer and a polymer layer formed on the metal layer to surround an upper surface of the internal structure, and a lower envelope composed of a metal layer and a polymer layer formed on the metal layer to surround a lower surface of the internal structure, the metal layer of the upper envelope and the metal layer of the lower envelope being opposite to each other, wherein in a certain area along outlines of the upper envelope and the lower envelope, the metal layer of the upper envelope and the metal layer of the lower envelope between which a film composed of a Low density polyethylene LDPE and a Linear-Lowdensity polyethylene LLDPE is inserted, are adhered by heat, and in an area excluding the certain area, the metal layer of the upper envelope and the metal layer of the lower envelope are adhered by polyurethane.

Vacuum insulator

The vacuum insulator includes an internal structure; a filler for filling empty spaces of the internal structure; and an envelope having an upper envelope composed of a metal layer and a polymer layer formed on the metal layer to surround an upper surface of the internal structure, and a lower envelope composed of a metal layer and a polymer layer formed on the metal layer to surround a lower surface of the internal structure, wherein the metal layer of the upper envelope and the metal layer of the lower envelope being opposite to each other, wherein at an area facing the internal structure in an end of the envelope, the upper envelope and the lower envelope are adhered by a heat adhesion part, and at an area opposite to the internal structure in the end of the envelope, the upper envelope and the lower envelope are adhered by polyurethane.

A heat sink is provided with a box-like body attached to heat dissipating surface of a heat-dissipating element. A separation board separates the box-like body into upper and lower parts. A number of side separation boards divide the lower part into several areas, and nozzle parts are inserted into the side separation boards parallel to the attaching surface. Pin-like fins are formed in the bottom face in the several areas divided by the side separation boards and an air carrying means is provided at an upper area formed by the separation board for supplying cooling air to fins through the nozzle parts.
