Abstract

The present invention relates to a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a refrigerating compartment and freezing compartment, a partition part disposed between the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment, the partition part being provided with a first insulation part, a receiving part disposed in the partition part to receive a food, and a second insulation part disposed between the receiving part and the refrigerating compartment or between the receiving part and the freezing compartment.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A refrigerator comprising:
 a refrigerating compartment and freezing compartment;   a partition part disposed between the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment, the partition part being provided with a first insulation part;   a receiving part disposed in the partition part to receive a food; and   a second insulation part disposed between the receiving part and the refrigerating compartment or between the receiving part and the freezing compartment.   
     
     
         2 . The refrigerator according to  claim 1 , wherein the second insulation part is disposed between an outer surface of the partition part and the receiving part. 
     
     
         3 . The refrigerator according to  claim 1 , wherein the refrigerating compartment is defined above the freezing compartment, and
 the receiving part is recessed downward from a top surface of the partition wall defining a bottom of the refrigerating compartment.   
     
     
         4 . The refrigerator according to  claim 3 , wherein the second insulation part is disposed between a bottom surface of the partition part and the receiving part. 
     
     
         5 . The refrigerator according to  claim 1 , further comprising a receiving part door for opening or closing the receiving part in a sliding manner. 
     
     
         6 . The refrigerator according to  claim 5 , wherein the second insulation part is provided in the receiving part door. 
     
     
         7 . The refrigerator according to  claim 1 , wherein the first insulation part comprises an insulation material containing a plurality of pores, and
 the second insulation part comprises a vacuum insulation material in which the plurality of pores are in a vacuum state.   
     
     
         8 . The refrigerator according to  claim 1 , wherein the second insulation part comprises a heater generating heat. 
     
     
         9 . The refrigerator according to  claim 8 , further comprising a control part controlling the heater according to a temperature difference between the receiving part and the refrigerating compartment or a temperature difference between the receiving part and the freezing compartment. 
     
     
         10 . The refrigerator according to  claim 1 , further comprising a refrigerating compartment door for opening or closing the refrigerating compartment,
 wherein a door basket is disposed on an inner side surface of the refrigerating compartment door, and   at least one portion of the receiving part is disposed under the door basket when the refrigerating compartment door is closed.   
     
     
         11 . The refrigerator according to  claim 10 , wherein a receiving box that is withdrawable to the outside of the refrigerating compartment and has an opened upper portion is disposed at a rear side of the door basket. 
     
     
         12 . A refrigerator comprising:
 a first storage compartment and second storage compartment which are maintained to temperatures different from each other;   a partition wall to partition the first storage compartment from the second storage compartment;   a receiving part defined in the partition wall; and   a vacuum insulation material disposed between the receiving part and the second storage compartment in the partition wall to insulate the receiving part from the second storage compartment.   
     
     
         13 . The refrigerator according to  claim 12 , wherein the second storage compartment is maintained to a temperature less than that of the first storage compartment. 
     
     
         14 . The refrigerator according to  claim 13 , wherein the receiving part is recessed from a surface of the partition wall defining the first storage compartment in a direction of the second storage compartment. 
     
     
         15 . The refrigerator according to  claim 12 , further comprising a receiving part door for opening or closing the receiving part. 
     
     
         16 . The refrigerator according to  claim 15 , wherein the receiving part door is disposed between the second storage compartment and the receiving part, and
 the vacuum insulation material is disposed in the receiving part door.   
     
     
         17 . A refrigerator comprising:
 a first storage compartment and second storage compartment which are maintained to temperatures different from each other;   a partition wall partitioning the first storage compartment from the second storage compartment;   a receiving part defined in the partition wall; and   a heater disposed between the receiving part and the second storage compartment in the partition wall to insulate the receiving part from the second storage compartment.   
     
     
         18 . The refrigerator according to  claim 17 , wherein the second storage compartment is maintained to a temperature less than that of the first storage compartment. 
     
     
         19 . The refrigerator according to  claim 18 , wherein the receiving part is recessed from a surface of the partition wall defining the first storage compartment in a direction of the second storage compartment. 
     
     
         20 . The refrigerator according to  claim 17 , further comprising a receiving part door for opening or closing the receiving part.
