Refrigerator

A refrigerator, comprising:

• a cabinet defining a storage compartment therein;
• an evaporator configured to cool air and provided behind a rear wall of the storage compartment;
• an evaporator fan provided behind the rear wall and configured to blow the cooled air into the storage compartment;
• a door configured to open or close at least a portion of the storage compartment, wherein the door includes an inner door having an access hole rotatable with respect to the cabinet, and an outer door rotatable with respect to the inner door;
• a housing provided for the inner door and an upper surface of the housing having an opening, wherein the inner door and the housing define a door storage space, and the outer door is configured to allow access to the door storage space through the access hole when the outer door is rotated to an open position;
• at least one basket disposed within the door storage space;
• and
• a blowing fan provided at the opening of the housing and configured to draw the cooled air of the evaporator blown into the storage compartment by the evaporator fan into the door storage space such that cooled air flows into the door storage space for maintaining a temperature in the door storage space to a set temperature or less,
• wherein the upper surface of the housing is oriented at an angle with respect to a horizontal plane such that the opening provided on the top surface of the housing is angled, the horizontal plane extending perpendicular to a central longitudinal axis of the door when the door is closed, and
• wherein the blowing fan is angled like the upper surface of the housing and aligned with the opening to directly cover the opening provided on the upper surface of the housing such that the cold air from the storage compartment is drawn into the door storage space.

A refrigerator, comprising:

• a cabinet defining a storage compartment therein;
• a door configured to open or close at least a portion of the storage compartment, wherein the door includes an inner door having an access hole rotatable with respect to the cabinet and an outer door rotatable with respect to the inner door;
• a housing provided for the inner door, the housing having first and second side surfaces, which are different side surfaces, a rear surface connected to the first and second side surfaces and a top surface configured to provide an opening, wherein the inner door and the housing define a door storage space, and the outer door is configured to allow access to the door storage space through the access hole when the outer door is rotated to an open position;
• at least one basket disposed within the door storage space;
• a blowing fan disposed at the opening and configured to draw air into the door storage space through the opening;
• and
• at least one discharge port configured to allow the air from the door storage space to escape into the storage compartment, wherein the at least one discharge port includes a first discharge port formed in the first side surface of the housing and a second discharge port formed in the second side surface of the housing, wherein a first gap is provided between an upper surface of the blowing fan and an upper inner wall of the storage compartment when the door is closed.
