REFRIGERATOR

WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/131076

A1

A refrigerator (1) is provided with: a thermal insulation casing (19); a machine room (90) which is formed by causing a lower back surface portion of the thermal insulation casing to be depressed inwards and in which a compressor is disposed; a cooler room (27) which is formed above the machine room and in the thermal insulation casing and in which a cooler (14) for generating cold air is disposed; a water receiving unit (81) which is provided below the cooler in the cooler room and which receives water from the cooler; and a discharge channel (82) having an inlet (83) provided to the water receiving unit and an outlet (84) protruded to the machine room, the discharge channel penetrating a thermal insulation wall (99) intervened between the cooler room and the machine room so as to cause the cooler room and the machine room to communicate. On the inlet side, a cross-sectional area of the discharge channel is gradually reduced toward a downstream side, and a center position of the cross section approaches a back surface side. The discharge channel is configured integrally from the inlet to the outlet. As a result, it is possible to provide a refrigerator with good water discharge performance while maintaining thermal insulation.
