Refrigerator

Abstract

By means of the front panel structure having the insulating layer according to the embodiment of the present invention, the phenomenon that frost is formed on a structure in a freezing chamber is preferably reduced even though outside air is introduced while opening/closing a freezing chamber door.

1 . A refrigerator, comprising:
 a body in which a storage space is provided;   a drawer drawably provided in the storage space;   a door provided at a front of the body to selectively close the storage space; and   a frost prevention device provided at one side of the drawer to prevent frost from growing as outside air is introduced therein.   
   
   
       2 . The refrigerator according to  claim 1 , wherein the frost prevention device is an insulating layer formed at a front of the drawer. 
   
   
       3 . The refrigerator according to  claim 2 , wherein the insulating layer is maintained under vacuum or filled with air. 
   
   
       4 . The refrigerator according to  claim 2 , wherein the insulating layer is formed in a front panel which is provided at a front of the drawer. 
   
   
       5 . A refrigerator, comprising:
 a body having at least a freezing chamber;   a main drawer drawably provided in the freezing chamber in a back-and-forth direction;   a door connected to the main drawer;   a sub-drawer provided above the main drawer; and   a front panel provided at a front end of the sub-drawer to minimize freezing of air introduced from outside.   
   
   
       6 . The refrigerator according to  claim 5 , wherein an insulating layer is formed in the front panel. 
   
   
       7 . The refrigerator according to  claim 6 , wherein the insulating layer is formed by ultrasonic welding at least two panels constituting the front panel. 
   
   
       8 . The refrigerator according to  claim 6 , wherein the insulating layer is formed by connecting at least two panels, which are connected to the sub-drawer in a spaced state in order to form the front panel, with a sealing element being surrounded along edges of the two panels. 
   
   
       9 . The refrigerator according to  claim 8 , wherein a plurality of ribs are protruded from a bottom of the sub-drawer in order to insert a lower end of the panels therebetween. 
   
   
       10 . The refrigerator according to  claim 6 , wherein the insulating layer is maintained under vacuum or filled with air or a styrofoam. 
   
   
       11 . The refrigerator according to  claim 5 , wherein the door is tiltably connected to a lower end of the main drawer.
