연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

The invention claimed is: 1. A refrigerator comprising: a refrigerator body; a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment being configured to maintain operating temperatures that differ, with the freezing compartment having an operating temperature that is lower than an operating temperature of the refrigerating compartment; a refrigerator door configured to open and close at least a portion of the refrigerating compartment; an ice compartment defined, by one or more insulating walls, as an independent structure within the refrigerating compartment such that, when the refrigerator door is oriented in an open position, the ice compartment remains in the refrigerating compartment and is closed by the one or more insulating walls; an ice storage bin located within the ice compartment; and an ice discharge duct configured to define a passage though at least one of the one or more insulating walls, wherein the ice discharge duct is configured to define the passage though a front surface of the insulating walls, which is configured to cover a surface of the ice compartment that is otherwise exposed as a consequence of the refrigerator door being oriented in the open position. 2. The refrigerator of claim 1 wherein the one or more insulating walls surround the ice compartment. 3. The refrigerator of claim 1 wherein the one or more insulating walls wrap around the ice compartment. 4. The refrigerator of claim 1 wherein the one or more insulating walls define the ice compartment as an individual space in the refrigerating compartment. 5. The refrigerator of claim 1 wherein the ice compartment being defined as an independent structure within the refrigerating compartment by one or more insulating walls includes the ice compartment being defined as an independent structure within the refrigerating compartment by one or more shared insulating walls, the one or more shared insulating walls being configured to define a portion of the ice compartment and a portion of the refrigerating compartment. 6. The refrigerator of claim 5, further comprising a support structure configured to interface with a floor surface and to support a majority of the refrigerator's weight during operation, wherein the one or more shared insulating walls include a shared insulating wall defining a portion of the ice compartment that is nearest a top portion of the refrigerator when the refrigerator is positioned with the support structure bearing a majority of the refrigerator's weight. 7. The refrigerator of claim 5 wherein the one or more shared insulating walls include a shared insulating wall defining a rear portion of the ice compartment, the rear portion of the ice compartment being a portion of the ice compartment that is furthest from the refrigerator door when the refrigerator door is oriented in a closed position. 8. The refrigerator of claim 5 wherein the one or more shared insulating walls include a shared insulating wall having a surface with a first linear section dedicated to insulating the ice compartment and a second linear section dedicated to insulating the refrigerating compartment. 9. The refrigerator of claim 1 further comprising an ice maker located within the ice compartment. 10. The refrigerator of claim 1 further comprising: a dispenser positioned on the refrigerator door; and an ice transporting mechanism configured to promote movement of ice from the ice storage bin to the dispenser through the passage defined by the ice discharge duct. 11. The refrigerator of claim 1 wherein the ice discharge duct is also configured to define the passage through a bottom of the insulating walls, which is configured to intersect the front of the insulating walls and that is configured to cover a surface of the ice compartment that is positioned closest to the freezing compartment, wherein the ice discharge duct is configured to penetrate the front and the bottom of the insulating walls at a point of intersection between the front and the bottom of the insulating walls. 12. The refrigerator of claim 1 wherein the ice discharge duct is configured to define the passage through a bottom of the insulating walls, which is configured to cover a surface of the ice compartment that is positioned closest to the freezing compartment. 13. The refrigerator of claim 1 wherein the one or more insulating walls include an insulating material. 14. The refrigerator of claim 13 wherein the insulating material includes at least one of polyurethane and Styrofoam. 15.
