Refrigerator

Abstract

A refrigerator including an outer case and an inner case arranged to define a body of a refrigerator; and an electric wire piping assembly to perform power supply and/or transmission of electric signals, the electric wire piping assembly provided along a predetermined path to prevent a thickness of a heat insulating material, that is filled between the inner case and the outer case, from being reduced. The electric wire piping assembly provided in the case of the refrigerator according to the present invention is disposed along the predetermined path not to reduce the thickness of the heat insulating material. As a result, the deterioration of heat insulation efficiency and the formation of drops on the refrigerator may be prevented.

1 . A refrigerator, comprising:
 a body defined by an outer case and an inner case having a turned corner running along an outside corner edge of a back of the inner case; and   an electric wire piping assembly configured to perform power supply and/or transmission of electric signals, a first portion of the electric wire piping assembly provided along a predetermined path arranged along the turned corner.   
   
   
       2 . The refrigerator as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a heat insulating material between the inner and outer case, and having a substantially uniform thickness. 
   
   
       3 . The refrigerator as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a second portion of the electric wire piping assembly provided along a recess portion of the inner case. 
   
   
       4 . The refrigerator as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each wire configured of the electric wire piping assembly is provided side-by-side to reduce the thickness of the electric wire piping assembly. 
   
   
       5 . The refrigerator as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a connection configured to connect the electric wire piping assembly with each of a plurality of electric parts that receive power and electric signals from the electric wire piping assembly. 
   
   
       6 . The refrigerator as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the connection is provided in a corner of the inner case. 
   
   
       7 . The refrigerator as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the connection is provided in a recess portion of the inner case. 
   
   
       8 . A refrigerator, comprising:
 an outer case;   an inner case provided in the outer case, having a predetermined space formed therein, the inner case having a turned corner running along an outside corner edge of a back of the inner case; and   a heat insulating material filled between the outer case and the inner case in a uniform thickness and configured to prevent water drops from forming on an outer surface of the outer case.   
   
   
       9 . The refrigerator as claimed in  claim 8 , further comprising an electric wire piping assembly configured to perform power supply and/or transmission of electric signals,
 wherein a recess portion is formed at an opposite outer surface corresponding to a projection formed at an inner surface of the space of the inner case, wherein a portion of the electric wire piping assembly is provided in the recess portion.   
   
   
       10 . The refrigerator as claimed in  claim 9 , further comprising an electrical connection connecting the electric wire piping assembly to one of plural electric parts.
