INDIRECT COOLING STRUCTURE OF STORAGE RECEPTACLE FOR REFRIGERATOR

摘要

An indirect cooling structure for a storage box in a refrigerator is provided to surround a box housing receiving storage boxes with a chilled air path for indirectly cooling food in the storage boxes by circulation of chilled air, thereby preventing evaporation of moisture from foodstuffs and preventing excessive or weak cooling. An indirect cooling structure for a storage box in a refrigerator includes a box housing(40) having a mounting space(40S) for mounting one or more storage boxes such as a vegetable box(60). A path(50P) is defined by outer surface of the box housing and inner surface of a path casing(50), and surrounds an outer surface of the box housing. Chilled air is supplied from a chilled air supply hole(36) of a refrigerating compartment(33) and discharged to a chilled air discharge hole(38) thereof along the path, while indirectly cooling food received in the receiving boxes during the circulation.
