A refrigerator including: a main body forming a storage compartment and a door provided to open and close the storage compartment, wherein the door includes a door frame, a cover arranged in front of the door frame and including a cover fixer, and a door panel arranged in front of the cover, the door panel including a first fixer and a second fixer on a rear surface of the door panel. When the door panel is coupled to a front side of the cover, the first fixer is coupled to the door frame and the second fixer is coupled to the cover.

A refrigerator contains a dispenser for ice and/or liquid. A dispenser housing covers an opening in an outer shell of the refrigerator. The dispenser housing delimits a dispenser recess that extends outward and upward over an upper edge of the opening and is assembled from at least one main part, which extends from a lower edge of the opening over a rear wall to a front edge of a ceiling of the dispenser housing, and a filling part, which extends from the front edge to an upper edge of the opening.

A refrigerator in which an ice making chamber case including a horizontal wall, a vertical wall, a front opening and a front edge is coupled to an inside of an inner case, to form an ice making chamber. A case insulator is disposed in a wall space of the ice making chamber case. The case insulator is foamed separately from a body insulator which is foamed between inner and outer cases of a refrigerator body. Since the case insulator is foamed separately from the body insulator, it is possible to easily achieve foaming of the case insulator. It is also possible to prepare the ice making chamber case separately from molding of the inner case.

A method of fabricating a vacuum insulated refrigerator structure includes positioning a first barrier film in a female mold cavity. Porous filler material is positioned on the barrier film, and a second barrier film is positioned over the porous filler material. A male mold is brought into contact with the second barrier film to deform and compress the porous filler material into a 3D shape. A vacuum is formed between the first and second barrier films, and the first and second peripheral edge portions are sealed together to form a vacuum insulated core. The vacuum insulated core may be positioned between a liner and a wrapper to form an insulated refrigerator cabinet, door, or other vacuum insulated component.

A heat-insulating wall of the present invention includes: wall bodies (2 and 3) whose hollow portion is a heat-insulating space (10); gas circulation ports (5 and 6) which are disposed on the wall body and through which the heat-insulating space communicates with the outside; an open-cell urethane foam (4) of a thermosetting urethane resin with which the heat-insulating space is filled by integral foaming; and sealing materials (50, 51, 55, 60, 61 and 62) for sealing the gas circulation port.

The invention relates to a method for producing foamed molded bodies comprising the steps of A) providing a mold, and B) introducing a foam-forming reaction mixture into the mold under variable pressure of injection,
wherein the method is characterized in that
the foam-forming reaction mixture has a fiber time of ≧20 s to ≦60 s.

The present invention discloses a refrigerator. The refrigerator comprises a foaming layer disposed between a refrigeration inner liner and a housing and a conduit extending inward from an edge of the housing and buried in the foaming layer, the conduit comprises a rigid tube and a flexible tube that are connected to each other, an end of the rigid tube far away from the flexible tube is disposed close to the edge of the housing, and a strength of the flexible tube is lower than the strength of the rigid tube. A foaming material may be discharged from the flexible tube and press the flexible tube so that the flexible tube is spaced apart a certain distance from the housing or the refrigeration inner liner. The flexible tube is completely buried in the foaming layer, so that the amount of cold is very limited, thereby preventing condensation from appearing.

The present invention discloses a door for a refrigerator, a refrigerator and a method of manufacturing the door. The door comprises a door frame enclosed at a periphery, and a first side plate and a second side plate located on two opposed sides of the door frame, the door frame, the first side plate and the second side plate forming a receiving space for receiving a foaming material, wherein the door frame is provided with at least one material overflow preventing assembly which comprises an air discharge hole disposed on the door frame, a receiving cavity communicated with the air discharge hole, and a material discharging passage communicated with the receiving cavity, the air discharge hole is communicated with the external, and the material discharging passage is communicated with the receiving space. The present invention makes the manufacturing cost lower and the quality of products of the door higher.

A filling system for a vacuum insulated structure is provided having a powder processor including a hopper having an inner hopper wall and an outer hopper wall. The filling system also includes a vacuum insulated structure having a liner positioned inside a wrapper, a trim breaker coupling an outer liner edge and an outer wrapper edge to form a shell defining an internal cavity with at least one gas permeable feature positioned in the internal cavity configured to help apply a vacuum. A loading port is positioned on a surface of the shell. The powder processor loads the shell with a heated and at least partially degassed vacuum insulation material through the loading port while a vacuum is applied to the shell through the at least one gas permeable feature.

A method and system for forming an insulation package for use in a vacuum insulated structure is provided. A slurry containing a liquid and an insulation material is formed. The slurry can be supplied to an envelope under vacuum, wherein the envelope is gas-permeable and permeable to the liquid. At least a portion of the liquid is drawn through the envelope and at least a portion of the insulation material is retained within the envelope to form an insulation package. One or more insulation packages can be disposed within an insulating cavity and the insulating cavity can be evacuated to decrease a pressure therein to form a vacuum insulated structure.
