COOL AIR PATH DAMPER ASSEMBLY WITH ELASTIC ANTI-FREEZING MEMBER

摘要

A refrigerator having a cool air path damper assembly that can remove dew from the damper housing when the cool air path damper opens and closes. The damper assembly has an anti-freezing pad attached to its upper surface. An elastic anti-freezing member is inserted into the anti-freezing pad. The elastic anti-freezing member moves with the damper when the damper switches between an open and a closed state. During such a motion, the elastic anti-freezing member sweeps through the interior surface of the housing and thereby removes moisture from the interior surface. This can prevent ice formation on the damper due to rapid temperature drop when the damper opens.

1. A refrigerator comprising:
a damper disposed in a cool air path and operable to control a cool air conductance on the cool air path by moving between a first position and a second position; a housing containing the damper; and an anti-freezing member disposed on the damper, wherein, when the damper moves between the first position and the second position, the anti-freezing member is configured to remove moisture on the housing by contacting the housing.
