TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED COMPARTMENT AND REFRIGERATOR PROVIDED WITH SAME

摘要

The present invention pertains to a refrigerator having a vegetable compartment as a temperature-controlled compartment, and the purpose of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator that is capable of maintaining the freshness of vegetables inside the vegetable compartment. The refrigerator (1) comprises: a refrigerator body (10); a refrigerating compartment (20) disposed in the refrigerator body (10); a refrigerating cycle for cooling the refrigerating compartment (20); a control unit (200) for controlling the refrigerating cycle on the basis of the temperature inside the refrigerating compartment (20); a vegetable compartment (40) that is provided with an air outlet(102) through which cold air blows and is disposed in the refrigerator body (10), and maintains coldness within a prescribed temperature range using cold air blown out from the air outlet (102); a latent heat storage material (120) positioned inside the vegetable compartment (40) for providing a phase transition temperature within said temperature range; and a heat conducting part that is in thermal contact with the latent heat storage material (120), and has greater thermal conductivity than part of a vegetable compartment container (60).
