Refrigerator

Abstract

A refrigerator in which evaporators for refrigerating a plurality of compartments are integrally formed and pipes are easily connected with the evaporator. The refrigerator includes a main body including a first compartment disposed at an upper side thereof and a second compartment disposed at a lower side thereof and separated from the first compartment, and an evaporator in which a first refrigerating part installed in the first compartment is integrally connected with a second refrigerating part installed in the second compartment by a connection pipe. An inlet pipe and an outlet pipe of the evaporator are disposed to one of the first refrigerating part and the second refrigerating part, and the connection pipe extends from the lower side of the second refrigerating part and is connected with the upper side of the first refrigerating part.

       2 . The refrigerator according to  claim 1 , wherein the connection pipe is connected with an upper side of the second refrigerating part.  
   
   
       3 . The refrigerator according to  claim 2 , wherein the first refrigerating part, the second refrigerating part and the connection pipe form a single pipe.  
   
   
       4 . The refrigerator according to  claim 3 , wherein the first refrigerating part of the evaporator is spaced apart from the second refrigerating part of the evaporator.  
   
   
       5 . The refrigerator according to  claim 4 , wherein the evaporator comprises: 
 a housing to accommodate and to support the first refrigerating part and the second refrigerating part; and    a defrost water tray to partition an inside of the housing between the first refrigerating part and the second refrigerating part and to discharge defrost water flowed down from the first refrigerating part.    
   
   
       6 . The refrigerator according to  claim 5 , wherein the evaporator further comprises: 
 a first defrosting heater installed to a lower side of the first refrigerating part to defrost the first refrigerating part; and    a second defrosting heater installed to a lower side of the second refrigerating part to defrost the second refrigerating part.    
   
   
       7 . A refrigerator comprising: 
 a main body comprising a first compartment and a second compartment separated from the first compartment; and    an evaporator comprising a first refrigerating part installed in the first compartment and a second refrigerating part installed in the second compartment which are integrally combined with each other, and an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe which are disposed to one of the first refrigerating part and the second refrigerating part.    
   
   
       8 . A refrigerator comprising: 
 a main body comprising a first compartment disposed at an upper side thereof and a second compartment disposed at a lower side thereof and separated from the first compartment; and    an evaporator comprising a first refrigerating part installed in the first compartment and a second refrigerating part installed in the second compartment integrally combined with each other by a connection pipe, and an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe which are disposed to one of the first refrigerating part and the second refrigerating part, and the connection pipe extends from a lower side of the second refrigerating part and is connected with an upper side of the first refrigerating part.    
   
   
       9 . A refrigerator comprising: 
 a first compartment and a second compartment to store food therein; and    a first refrigerating part and a second refrigerating part respectively corresponding to the first compartment and the second compartment, and to refrigerate the first and second compartments; and    a connection pipe to integrally combine an upper side of the first refrigerating part to the second refrigerating part.    
   
   
       10 . The refrigerator of  claim 9 , further comprising: 
 an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe formed in one of the first refrigerating part and the second refrigerating part.    
   
   
       11 . The refrigerator of  claim 10 , wherein the inlet pipe is disposed to the second refrigerating part and the outlet pipe extends from the first refrigerating part to the second refrigerating part.  
   
   
       12 . The refrigerator of  claim 10 , wherein the inlet pipe is disposed to the first refrigerating part and the outlet pipe extends from the first refrigerating part.  
   
   
       13 . The refrigerator of  claim 12 , wherein the first refrigerating part and the second refrigerating part each comprise: 
 first and second circulation parts to circulate refrigerant therethrough, wherein lower sides of the first and second circulation parts are connected with each other.    
   
   
       14 . The refrigerator of  claim 13 , wherein the inlet pipe extends from an upper side of the first refrigerating part to the second refrigerating part and is connected with an upper side of the first circulation part of the second refrigerating part, and the outlet pipe is connected with an upper side of the second circulation part of the first refrigerating part.
