A refrigerator according to the present embodiment comprises: a cabinet having storage spaces; a main door, which can rotate with respect to the cabinet and opens/closes the storage spaces; a sub door rotating with respect to the main door; and a hinge device, which is fixed to the front surface of the cabinet, supports the lower sides of the main door and the sub door and provides the center of rotation of the main door and the center of rotation of the sub door, wherein the center of rotation of the main door and the center of rotation of the sub door can be positioned on the sub door.

Refrigerator

A refrigerator includes: a cabinet having a storage space; a hinge bracket coupled to the cabinet; a door which is rotatably coupled to a shaft provided at the hinge bracket, and which open/close the storage space; and an automatic closing device which is provided at the door at a position spaced from the rotational center line of the door, and which operates together with the hinge bracket during closing of the door, so that the door automatically closes, where the automatic closing device includes: a lever that rotates around a rotational center line spaced from the rotational center line of the door; an elastic member connected to the lever; and a body which is provided at the door and which rotatably supports the lever.

A refrigerator according to an embodiment comprises: a cabinet having a storage space; a main door that can rotate relative to the cabinet and opens and closes the storage space; a sub door that rotates relative to the main door; and a hinge mechanism which is connected to the main door and the sub door and provides the axis of rotation of the main door and the axis of rotation of the sub door. The axis of rotation of the main door and the axis of rotation of the sub door may be positioned on the sub door.

A refrigerator of the present embodiment comprises: a cabinet having a storage space; a refrigerator door which is rotatably connected to the cabinet by a hinge apparatus and opens and closes the storage space; an extension member which is drawn out from the cabinet and connected to the inside of the refrigerator door through a door opening spaced apart from the rotational center of the refrigerator door, the extension member including at least one of a wire or a tube through which a liquid flows; a guide housing for guiding the extension member positioned outside the cabinet and the refrigerator door; and a cabinet guide which is fixed to the cabinet and guides linear and rotational movements of the guide housing during the opening and closing of the refrigerator door.

A refrigerator having: a cabinet having a storage space; a refrigerator door that is rotatably connected to the cabinet by means of a hinge device and opens and closes the storage space; an extension member that is drawn out from the cabinet and connected to the inside of the refrigerator door through a door opening spaced apart from the rotation center of the refrigerator door and includes at least one of a wire and a tube through which a liquid flows; a guide housing that guides the extension member positioned on the outside of the cabinet and the refrigerator door and includes a plurality of individual housings rotatably connected to each other; and a door fixing unit that rotatably connects a first housing among the plurality of individual housings to the refrigerator door.

A refrigerator comprises: a cabinet including a storage space; a hinge bracket coupled to the cabinet; a door which is rotatably coupled to a shaft included in the hinge bracket and opens/closes the storage space; and an auto-closing device installed at the door in a position spaced apart from the center line of rotation of the door, the auto-closing device operating such that same acts with the hinge bracket while the door is being closed, thereby causing the door to automatically be closed. The auto-closing device may include a lever and an elastic member for elastically supporting the lever. The hinge bracket may include a contact surface which is brought into contact with the lever while the door is being closed. The contact surface may be formed such that, with reference to the front surface of the cabinet, while a contact part of the lever moves along one portion of the contact surface, the contact part approaches the front surface of the cabinet, and, while the contact part moves along another portion of the contact surface, the contact part becomes more distant from the front surface of the cabinet.

A refrigerator includes: a cabinet having a storage space; a hinge bracket coupled to the cabinet; a door which is rotatably coupled to the shaft provided at the hinge bracket and which open/close the storage space; and an automatic closing device which is provided on the door at a position spaced away from the rotational center line of the door, and which is operated together with the hinge bracket when the door is being closed to automatically close the door. The automatic closing device includes a lever and an elastic member for elastically supporting the lever, and the hinge bracket includes: a bracket body including the shaft; and a cam member which is separably coupled to the bracket body and which has a contact surface that comes in contact with the lever when the door is being closed.

A under counter refrigerator includes a main body defining at least one of a first and second storage compartments, an evaporator to generate cool air to be supplied to the at least one of the first and second storage compartments, and a machine room provided at a lower portion of the main body to define an installation space in which a compressor and a condenser are provided. The machine room includes a suction portion provided in front of the main body to suction outside air into the machine room, a discharge portion provided in front of the main body to discharge the suctioned air in the machine room, a guide wall to separate the installation space into a first space in which the condenser is installed, and a second space in which the compressor is installed. A condensation fan is installed at the guide wall, the condenser is provided in a front portion of the first space, a defrosting water tray is provided at a rear of the condenser, and the condensation fan is disposed on one side of the defrost water tray.

Under counter type refrigerator

A refrigerator includes a first inner case, a second inner case, a third inner case having a larger size than the first and second inner cases, a first evaporator and a first cooling fan disposed inside the first inner case, a second evaporator and a second cooling fan disposed inside the second inner case, a duct in which a first inlet portion communicating with an inside of the first inner case, a second inlet portion communicating with an inside of the second inner case, an outlet portion communicating with the third inner case, a first conduit for guiding, to the outlet portion, cold air blown from the first cooling fan from the first inlet portion, and a second conduit for guiding, to the outlet portion, cold air blown from the second cooling fan from the second inlet portion are formed, and a damper communicating with the outlet portion.
