A vacuum adiabatic body and a refrigerator are provided. The vacuum adiabatic body may include a sheet base provided in a direction crossing a vacuum space between a first plate and a second plate, and at least one sheet protrusion that protrudes from the sheet base in at direction toward one of the first plate or the second plate to maintain an interval between the sheet base and the one of the first plate or the second plate.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet and a door. The door includes a door liner, a front plate, a first cap decor coupled to the door liner and the front plate, a second cap decor coupled to the door liner and the front plate at a position facing the first cap decor, an insulator filled into a space defined by coupling of the door liner, the front plate, and the cap decors, and a panel assembly disposed detachably in front of the front plate. The panel assembly includes a panel defining an outer appearance of a front surface of the door, a first bracket protruding from a rear surface of the panel and inserted into the first cap decor, and a second bracket provided on the rear surface of the panel and supported by the second cap decor.

Provided is a refrigerator that includes a storage compartment, a shelf disposed inside the storage compartment, an angle provided to fix a position of the shelf, and a duct mounted on one surface of the storage compartment and to which the angle is coupled. The angle includes a bent part formed to be bent inward from one end of the angle, and the duct includes a fixing protrusion disposed to protrude from the duct toward the storage compartment so as to fix the angle by pressing an inner surface of the bent part.

A vacuum adiabatic body includes a first plate; a second plate; a seal; a support; a heat resistance unit; and an exhaust port, wherein the heat resistance unit includes a conductive resistance sheet connected to at least one of the first and second plates, the conductive resistance sheet resisting heat conduction flowing along a wall for the third space, the conductive resistance sheet includes a mounting part mounted on the first or second plate and a curved part having at least one portion depressed into the third space, a coupler that fixes the conductive resistance sheet to the first or second plate is formed on the mounting part, and the curved part includes a first curved part depressed toward the third space and a second curved part extending from the first curved part, the second curved part surrounding an edge portion of the first or second plate.

A method for preparing a vacuum insulated panel includes forming an internal cavity between a liner and a wrapper and preparing a filler material to be disposed in the internal cavity. The filler material includes a first part and a second part and is prepared by treating a surface of the first part. A coating is applied to the surface of the first part with a chemical having a first charge. The coating forms a first surface charge on the surface of the first part. The method further includes mixing the first part with the second part forming the filler material. The second part includes a material having a second surface charge opposite the first surface charge.

An insulating structure for an appliance includes a trim breaker, a first panel, a second panel, and an adhesive. The trim breaker defines a first groove and a second groove. The first panel is disposed within the first groove and is coupled to the trim breaker. The second panel is disposed within the second groove and is coupled to the trim breaker. The adhesive is disposed within the first and second grooves and is coupled to the first and second panels.

An insulating structure for an appliance including a first panel, a second panel coupled to the first panel, wherein the first and second panels define a cavity, an insulation material disposed within the cavity, at least one central flattening portion of the first and second panels, the at least one central flattening portion defining an enlarged area of the cavity in a rest state and having deflection control features, and structural reinforcements defined by the deflection control features of the at least one central flattening portion.

A vacuum adiabatic body and a refrigerator are provided. The vacuum adiabatic body may include a sheet base provided in a direction crossing a vacuum space between a first plate and a second plate, and at least one sheet protrusion that protrudes from the sheet base in at direction toward one of the first plate or the second plate to maintain an interval between the sheet base and the one of the first plate or the second plate.

A refrigerator has an appliance body on which at least two doors arranged one above the other are pivotably mounted. The doors are mounted via a double hinge which is fixed to the appliance body with a mounting plate which is connected via a plurality of movable joint levers to an upper hinge part connected to the upper door and to a lower hinge part connected to the lower door via a plurality of further movable joint levers. The upper door is further pivotably mounted on the appliance body via a support hinge which is fixed to the appliance body by a mounting element that is connected to a plurality of joint levers connected to a further hinge part connected to the upper door. The joint levers of the support hinge have a greater vertical extent in the vertical direction than the joint levers of the double hinge.

A refrigerator drawer having a body having a front panel, a rear panel, two side panels, more than one pivotable dividers, each divider pivotable between use and non-use positions, the dividers capable of dividing the drawer body into more than one compartments, a ducted cover and/or a ducted bottom, the ducted cover and ducted bottom each having a channel connecting to more than one fans, and a temperature sensor located within each of the possible compartments is provided.
