Refrigerator

Abstract

The present invention relates to a refrigerator. In the present invention, storage spaces 59, each of which is formed in a hexahedral shape with a front face being opened, are formed in an inner case 55 that defines the interior of the refrigerator. A tray 61 is installed in each of the storage spaces 59 to be drawn in a drawer-like fashion. An evaporator 65 is attached to a reverse side of the inner case 55 to cover rear portions of upper and side surfaces of the inner case which are spaced apart by a predetermined distance rearward from the open front face of the storage space 59. In addition, a fan assembly 69 for allowing the air in the storage space 59 to circulate is installed on a front portion on the ceiling of the storage space 59. According to the present invention so configured, by relatively reducing the temperature of the front portion of the storage space that first comes into contact with the external air when the tray is drawn out, it is possible to minimize a phenomenon that a layer of frost is formed on the surface of the storage space.

1 . A refrigerator, comprising: 
 an inner case with a storage space defined therein, the storage space being opened toward at least one face;    an evaporator spaced apart by a predetermined distance from the open face of the storage space and attached to a reverse side of the inner case to cover the storage space; and    a fan assembly installed in the storage space for allowing air to circulate in the storage space.    
   
   
       2 . The refrigerator as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the storage space is formed in a hexahedral shape with a front face opened, and the evaporator is attached to the reverse side on the inner case at a position spaced apart by the predetermined distance from front ends on upper and side surfaces of the storage space.  
   
   
       3 . The refrigerator as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the fan assembly is installed on a front portion of the ceiling of the storage space.  
   
   
       4 . The refrigerator as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the fan assembly operates only when a compressor operates.
