Abstract

Disclosed herein is a refrigerator including: a cabinet configured to define a storage space; a barrier configured to divide the storage space into a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment and having an heat insulator therein; a depression part formed to be depressed in the barrier for the freezing compartment and configured to accommodate an evaporator and a blowing unit; and a barrier cover configured to shield the depression part for the freezing compartment, wherein the depression part includes an evaporator accommodating part configured to accommodate the evaporator, a blowing unit accommodating part formed to be stepped on a upper side of the evaporator accommodating part and configured to accommodate the blowing unit.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A refrigerator comprising:
 a cabinet configured to define a storage space;   a barrier configured to divide the storage space into a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment and having an heat insulator therein;   a depression part formed to be depressed in the barrier for the freezing compartment and configured to accommodate an evaporator and a blowing unit; and   a barrier cover configured to shield the depression part for the freezing compartment,   wherein the depression part includes   an evaporator accommodating part configured to accommodate the evaporator, and   a blowing unit accommodating part formed to be stepped on a upper side of the evaporator accommodating part and configured to accommodate the blowing unit.   
     
     
         2 . The refrigerator of  claim 1 , wherein the heat insulator is foamed and filled therein to be filled in a whole inside of the barrier including a part corresponding to the depression part. 
     
     
         3 . The refrigerator of  claim 1 , wherein the blowing unit accommodating part is formed to be depressed greater than the evaporator accommodating part. 
     
     
         4 . The refrigerator of  claim 1 , wherein the heat insulator is formed such that a part of the heat insulator for the blowing unit accommodating part is thicker than a part of the heat insulator for the evaporator accommodating part. 
     
     
         5 . The refrigerator of  claim 1 , wherein the blowing unit includes a centrifugal fan for introducing air from a rotational center in a radial direction. 
     
     
         6 . The refrigerator of  claim 1 , wherein the depression part further includes a coupling part formed therein and configured to couple the evaporator accommodating part and the blowing unit accommodating part to be tilted. 
     
     
         7 . The refrigerator of  claim 1 , wherein
 the evaporator is disposed in a center of the barrier to be adjacent to the freezing compartment.   
     
     
         8 . A refrigerator comprising:
 a cabinet configured to define a storage space;   a barrier configured to divide the storage space into two spaces and to form one side planes of the respective divided spaces   a depression part formed to be depressed in the barrier and configured to accommodate an evaporator and a blowing unit; and   a barrier cover configured to shield the depression part,   wherein the depression part includes   an evaporator accommodating part configured to accommodate the evaporator,   a blowing unit accommodating part formed to be depressed greater than the evaporator accommodating part on the upper side of the evaporator accommodating part and configured to accommodate the blowing unit, and   a cold air passage formed in a upper side of the blowing unit accommodating part and configured to guide cold air to the storage space.   
     
     
         9 . The refrigerator of  claim 8 , wherein a heat insulator is foamed and filled within the whole barrier including a part corresponding to the depression part. 
     
     
         10 . The refrigerator of  claim 8 , wherein in both side surfaces of the blowing unit accommodating part, cold air guide part formed to be rounded and configured to guide cold air of the evaporator to the cold air passage are further formed. 
     
     
         11 . The refrigerator of  claim 8 , wherein the blowing unit accommodating part is formed to become narrow from a lower part to upper part thereof. 
     
     
         12 . The refrigerator of  claim 1  wherein the cold air passage is formed to have a width corresponding to an opened width of an upper end of the blowing unit accommodating part. 
     
     
         13 . The refrigerator of  claim 8 , wherein the cold air passage includes a cold air outlet formed to be bored through the barrier to discharge cold air to the storage space at an upper end of the cold air passage. 
     
     
         14 . The refrigerator of  claim 8 , wherein the blowing unit accommodating part is formed to be depressed greater than the cold air passage.
