A duct structure of a refrigerator equipped with a door provided with a container space separated from an internal space of the refrigerator comprises: a multi-duct which is provided in a rear space in the internal space of the refrigerator and which discharges cool air into the internal space of the refrigerator while allowing air to flow upward; a connecting outlet which is provided in an upper end of the multi-duct; a connecting duct which communicates with the connecting outlet and which is extended in a front-rear direction; a front duct which is connected to a front end of the connecting duct and which is extended in a left-right direction; and a nozzle unit which is provided in a lower portion of the front duct and which discharges cool air into the container space of door.

A method and system for ice making in a refrigerator is disclosed. The ice making system comprising an ice making unit that makes ice cubes in a refrigerator compartment door, a cool air producing unit that is provided in a refrigerator body and cools air inside a cooling duct, a connection unit that connects the ice making unit to the cooling duct in response to a closure of the refrigerator compartment door onto the refrigerator body, and a cool air circulation unit that supplies the cool air from the cool air producing unit to the ice making unit and discharges the cool air from the ice making unit to the cool air producing unit.

The present invention provides a refrigerator, comprising a storage compartment, a refrigeration air passage configured to supply refrigeration air and a top air passage. The top air passage is provided at a top wall of the storage compartment, comprises a rear end air inlet, a front end air inlet and a mixed air outlet opening downwards, and is configured to receive refrigeration air blown from the refrigeration air passage via the rear end air inlet, receive return air returning from the storage compartment via the front end air inlet, and allow the refrigeration air and the return air to flow into the storage compartment in a mixed manner via the mixed air outlet.

A refrigeration device including a heat-insulated housing, which contains a storage compartment, a water tank, a fan for propelling a stream of cold air that passes through an evaporator and a distribution unit for the controlled distribution of the stream of cold air along at least two circulation paths, the first of which is in closer thermal contact with the water tank than the second.

Ice making system and method for a refrigerator is disclosed. The ice making system includes an ice making unit that makes ice cubes, a cold air generator that cools air inside a cooling duct so as to produce cold air, a cold air circulation unit that supplies the cold air from the cold air generator to the ice making unit, and discharges the cold air from the ice making unit to the cold air generator, and a cold air guiding unit that circulates the cold air inside the ice making unit.

For the purpose of providing a home appliance device with improved characteristics regarding a user convenience, a home appliance door, in particular a home chiller appliance door, is proposed: The home appliance door has at least one door unit with an outer wall and an inner wall; and at least one covering element which at least partly covers at least one feature of the inner wall.

Provided is a vacuum adiabatic body. The vacuum adiabatic body includes a mullion configured to divide a space within the refrigerator into a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment, an ice maker placed in the freezing compartment, and an ice-making cool air passage passing through the mullion to connect the freezing compartment to the ice maker. Therefore, cool air may be supplied in an adiabatic state to the ice maker disposed in the refrigerating compartment.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet including a refrigerating compartment and an evaporation chamber, a first door, a housing in the first door, an ice making room defining a cool air inflow hole and a cool air discharge hole, a chiller room defining a cool air discharge hole, a second door connected to the first door, a partition wall defining the ice making room, the chiller room, and a communication hole, a damper opening and closing the communication hole, a cool air supply duct connecting an outlet of the evaporation chamber and the cool air inflow hole to supply cool air of the evaporation chamber to the ice making room, and a cool air return duct having a first inlet connected to the cool air discharge hole of the ice making chamber and a second inlet connected to the cool air discharge hole of the chiller room.

A refrigerator includes: an evaporator provided in a storage space and configured to supply cold air to the storage space, a duct assembly provided above the evaporator and configured to guide the cold air supplied to the storage space, a door supply duct coupled to the duct assembly and configured to guide a part of the cold air flowing through the duct assembly to a door, and a fan motor assembly coupled to a lower end of the duct assembly and configured to suction air cooled by the evaporator and blow the suctioned air into the duct assembly. The duct assembly defines a first passage and a second passage that are spaced apart from each other, where the second passage includes a main passage configured to supply the cold air to the storage space and a sub-passage branched from the main passage and coupled to the door supply duct.

A refrigerator including a housing mounted at a rear surface of a door to define a storage space of food, a basket disposed inside the housing, a duct extending to the housing from one side of an evaporator to supply cold air generated by the evaporator into the storage space of the housing, and a fan assembly coupled to the duct to allow the cold air to be forcibly supplied.
