Publication number: 20230384023Abstract: A refrigerator includes a door frame and a perimetric surface of an insulation door panel of a panel unit that are spaced apart from each other. A component receiving groove is provided between the door frame and the perimetric surface of the insulation door panel, so that an operation module is received in the component receiving groove. When the operation module is received in the component receiving groove, at least of a part of the operation module is arranged to face a front surface of the panel unit through a bezel portion constituting the front surface of the panel unit. Therefore, a space for installing the operation module such as a detection sensor or a touch sensor is provided to be sufficiently wide along an edge of a door.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Ki Hyun PARK, Gi Young KIM, Seung-Jin OH, Chang Woan YANG, Jeong Wook KANG, Deok Eun KANG

Patent number: 7856844Abstract: A cooling air supply apparatus of a refrigerator that is capable of uniformly supplying cooling air to all food received in a receiving box is disclosed. The refrigerator includes a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment for storing food at low temperature, a barrier for partitioning the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment from each other, and a receiving box mounted in the refrigerating compartment for receiving food. The cooling air supply apparatus includes a communication port formed through the barrier for guiding cooling air from the freezing compartment into the refrigerating compartment, and a hollow box-shaped cover mounted at the top part of the receiving box. The cover is provided at one side thereof with an introduction port, which communicates with the communication port. The cover is provided at the lower part thereof with at least one cooling air supplying hole, which communicates with the interior of the receiving box.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2006Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.Inventors: Sang Bae Kim, Tae Ho Park, Jeong Youl Lee, Deok Eun Kang
