A COOL AIR SUPPLY STRUCTURE OF STORAGE RECEPTACLE FOR REFRIGERATOR

摘要

A chilled air supply structure for a storage box of a refrigerator is provided to control chilled air supply for a path formed in a box casing according to internal temperature of the box casing sensed by a temperature sensor, thereby preventing overcooling of food received in the storage box secured in the box casing. A chilled air supply structure for a storage box of a refrigerator includes one or more box casings(50) movably mounted in a refrigerating compartment and having a mounting space inside for a storage box. A path is formed in each of the box casings so that chilled air supplied from a chilled air supply source via a chilled air supply hole(39) of the refrigerating compartment flows therethrough. A temperature sensor(47) is mounted to each of the box casings for sensing internal temperature of the box casing via a temperature sensing opening(54d) of the box casing. The temperature sensor is mounted to a sensor mounting part(45) of an auxiliary duct(43), which supplies the chilled air to the path via the chilled air supply hole.
