A drainage structure for a refrigerator equipped with an integrated product is provided. A mounting space is provided on a front surface of a door of the refrigerator to receive an integrated product such as a TV. A plurality of recesses are formed in an inner surface of the mounting space. The recesses prevent water drops from flowing downward along the inner surface. A plurality of valleys may also be formed on the inner surface on which the recesses are formed. The valleys may have an irregular shape, and serve to reduce the size of water drops. Thus, moisture formed in a space into which the integrated product is mounted can be evaporated and discharged to the outside due to heat generated by the integrated product when it is operated.

What is claimed is: 1. A drainage structure for a refrigerator with an integrated product mounted on a door thereof, the structure comprising: a mounting space provided at a front surface of the refrigerator door, wherein the mounting space comprises a rear surface and four side surfaces extending therefrom which define a periphery of the mounting space, wherein a front of the mounting space is open so as to receive an integrated product therein; and a plurality of recesses formed in the rear surface of the mounting space and extending in a direction perpendicular to a gravitational direction. 2. The structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the recesses has a predetermined width and depth, and is formed in a straight line such that adjacent recesses are spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval in the gravitational direction. 3. The structure as claimed in claim 2, further comprising a plurality of valleys formed in the rear surface of the mounting space in the form of irregular lines. 4. The structure as claimed in claim 3, wherein a lower surface of the four side surfaces of the mounting space comprises a floor surface inclined downward toward a front of the door at a predetermined angle with respect to a horizontal surface. 5. The structure as claimed in claim 4, further comprising a covering duct formed on the floor surface of the mounting space, wherein the covering duct covers a wire outlet through which a lead wire to be connected to the integrated product extends. 6. The structure as claimed in claim 5, wherein the covering duct has a substantially hexahedral shape with a front face that opens toward the front of the door. 7. The structure as claimed in claim 6, further comprising a wire guide slit formed on at least one of the lateral side walls of the covering duct so as to hold the lead wire extending therethrough. 8. The structure as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a drainage channel formed along an inner edge of a front panel coupled to the integrated product, wherein the drainage channel is configured to guide water drops along its surface. 9. A drainage structure for a refrigerator having a door, the structure comprising: a receiving box having a mounting space formed therein, wherein the receiving box is configured to be mounted on a front surface of the door such that the mounting space is open toward a front of the door, wherein the mounting space is configured to receive an integrated product secured therein; a plurality of recesses formed in a rear surface of the mounting space extending in a direction perpendicular to a gravitational direction; and a floor surface which extends at a downward incline from a lower edge of the rear surface of the mounting space toward a front of the mounting space. 10. The structure as claimed in claim 9, wherein a mounting bracket is provided at a rear of the integrated product so as to be fastened to an edge of the receiving box, a front panel is provided at a front surface of the integrated product so as to define an edge of the integrated product, and a covering frame is mounted to the edge of the front surface of the integrated product so as to cover the edge of the front panel and the edge of the receiving box. 11. The structure as claimed in claim 10, wherein each of the recesses has a predetermined width and depth, and is formed in a straight line such that adjacent recesses are spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval in the gravitational direction. 12. The structure as claimed in claim 9, further comprising a plurality of valleys formed in the rear surface of the mounting space in the form of lines. 13. The structure as claimed in claim 10, further comprising a covering duct formed on the floor surface of the mounting space so as to cover a wire outlet through which a lead wire to be connected to the integrated product extends. 14. The structure as claimed in claim 10, wherein the covering duct has a generally hexahedral shape, with a front face that is open toward the front of the door. 15. The structure as claimed in claim 14, further comprising a wire guide slit formed on at least one of the lateral walls of the covering duct so as to hold the lead wire extending therethrough. 16. The structure as claimed in claim 10, further comprising a drainage channel extending along an edge of the front panel so as to guide water drops along its surface and away from the integrated product coupled thereto. 17. A drainage structure for a refrigerator in which a storage space defined in a main body of the refrigerator is opened and closed by a door, the structure comprising: a receiving box having a mounting space formed therein, wherein the receiving box is mounted on a front surface of the door such that the mounting space is open toward the front of the door, wherein the mounting space is configured to receive an integrated product secured therein; a plurality of recesses formed in a rear surface of the mounting space and extending in a direction perpendicular to a gravitational direction; and a plurality of valleys formed in the rear surface of the mounting space in the form of lines. 18. The structure as claimed in claim 17, further comprising a floor surface formed on a lower end of the mounting space and inclined downward toward a front of the mounting space, and a covering duct formed on the floor surface of the mounting space so as to cover a wire outlet through which a lead wire to be connected to the integrated product extends. 19. The structure as claimed in claim 18, wherein the covering duct has a generally hexahedral shape, with a front face that is open toward the front of the door, and wherein a wire guide slit is formed on at lest one of the lateral walls of the covering duct so as to hold the lead wire extending therethrough. 20. The structure as claimed in claim 18, wherein a mounting bracket is provided at a rear of the integrated product so as to be fastened to an edge of the receiving box, a front panel is provided at a front surface of the integrated product so as to define an edge of the integrated product, and a covering frame is mounted on the front surface of the integrated product so as to cover the edge of the front panel and the edge of the receiving box. 21. The structure as claimed in claim 17, wherein each of the recesses has a predetermined width and depth, and is formed in a straight line such that adjacent recesses are spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval in the gravitational direction. 22. The structure as claimed in claim 20, further comprising a drainage channel along which water drops are guided circumscribing the edge of the front panel of the integrated product.
