Abstract
A refrigerator supplies cool air generated by a cooler to a plurality of storage compartments by cooling fan (27). Cooling fan (27) is formed of multi-blade fan (27a) which blows cool air in a circumferential direction. Guide case (33) of cooling fan (27) has discharge opening portion (35) which supplies cool air to the plurality of storage compartments at one portion.
Claims11
A refrigerator comprising:
- a lower storage compartment;
- an upper storage compartment located upper than the lower storage compartment in the refrigerator;
- a cooling compartment located closer to a back surface of the refrigerator than the lower storage compartment and the upper storage compartment;
- a cooler disposed in the cooling compartment;
- a wall surface unit that partitions an inside of the refrigerator into the cooling compartment and a set of the lower storage compartment and the upper storage compartment, the wall surface unit having a first surface facing the cooling compartment, a second surface facing the lower storage compartment, and a third surface facing the upper storage compartment;
- a cooling fan disposed on the first surface of the wall surface unit, the cooling fan being configured to supply cool air generated by the cooler in a circumferential direction;
- a damper device disposed on the first surface of the wall surface unit, the damper device having at least a first opening portion for supplying the cool air to the lower storage compartment, and a second opening portion for supplying the cool air to the upper storage compartment;
- a first blow-off port that is formed in the second surface of the wall surface unit, the first blow-off port being configured to supply cool air to the lower storage compartment;
- a second blow-off port that is formed in the third surface of the wall surface unit, the second blow-off port being configured to supply cool air to the upper storage compartment;
- a first discharge air passage that is formed in the wall surface unit, the first discharge air passage allowing the first opening portion and the first blow-off port to communicate with each other;
- and
- a second discharge air passage that is formed in the wall surface unit, the second discharge air passage allowing the second opening portion and the first blow-off port to communicate with each other.
