REFRIGERATOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a refrigerator enabling efficient cooling while preventing overcooling of a vegetable compartment.SOLUTION: A refrigerator includes a control section 52 for controlling opening/closing of a refrigerating compartment damper 34 and a vegetable compartment damper 30 on the basis of outputs from refrigerating compartment temperature detection means 50 and vegetable compartment temperature detection means 46. The control section 52 performs opening control of both of the refrigerating compartment damper 34 and the vegetable compartment damper 30 on the basis of the output from the refrigerating compartment temperature detection means 50, and performs closing control of the refrigerating compartment damper 34 and the vegetable compartment damper 30 on the basis of the outputs from the refrigerating compartment temperature detection means 50 and the vegetable compartment temperature detection means 46, respectively. Due to this configuration, when cold air is supplied to a vegetable compartment, cold air is also supplied to other storage compartments than the vegetable compartment without fail. As a result, the cold air from a cooling compartment is divided into both of the compartments and the amount of the cold air supplied to the vegetable compartment is reduced, so as to prevent overcooling caused by excessive supply of the cold air to the vegetable compartment and thus enable efficient cooling while overcooling of the vegetable compartment is prevented. 【課題】野菜室の過冷を防止しつつ効率の良い冷却が可能な冷蔵庫の提供。【解決手段】冷蔵室温度検知手段５０及び野菜室温度検知手段４６からの出力に基づき冷蔵室ダンパ３４及び野菜室ダンパ３０の開閉を制御する制御部５２を備え、前記制御部５２は、冷蔵室ダンパ３４および野菜室ダンパ３０の両ダンパの開制御は冷蔵室温度検知手段５０の出力によって行い、冷蔵室ダンパ３４および野菜室ダンパ３０の閉制御は冷蔵室温度検知手段５０及び野菜室温度検知手段４６それぞれの出力によって行う構成としてある。これにより、野菜室に冷気を供給するときには必ず野菜室にも冷気が供給されるようになり、その結果、冷却室からの冷気はこれら両室に分配されることになって、野菜室に供給される冷気の量が少なくなり、野菜室へ過剰な冷気が供給されて過冷が生じるのを防止できて、野菜室の過冷を防止しつつ効率の良い冷却が可能となる。【選択図】図１１
