REFRIGERATOR.

摘要

THIS INVENTION RELATES TO A REFRIGERATOR HAVING AN AIR DISTRIBUTION APPARATUS IN WHICH THE TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE VOLUME OF A COMPARTMENT IS MAINTAINED IN UNIFORM BY EVENLY DISPERSING THE EVAPORATED COOL AIR, AND IT ACHIEVES CONCENTRATED REFRIGERATION ON A SPECIFIED AREA OF THE COMPARTMENT REQUIRING A SPECIAL REFRIGERATION BY CONTROLLING THE DISCHARGING DIRECTION AND QUANTITY OF THE EVAPORATED COOL AIR. THE REFRIGERATOR COMPRISES A BODY (4) PARTITIONED INTO A FREEZING COMPARTMENT (2) AND A REFRIGERATING COMPARTMENT (3); AN EVAPORATOR (12) DISPOSED IN THE BODY (4); AND AN AIR DISTRIBUTION APPARATUS (17) DISPOSED ON ONE WALL OF THE REFRIGERATING COMPARTMENT (3). THE AIR DISTRIBUTION APPARATUS (17) FURTHER IS COMPRISED WITH A FIRST AIR PASSAGE (18) FOR GUIDING THE FLOW OF THE COOL AIR GENERATED FROM THE EVAPORATER (12); A SECOND AIR PASSAGE (15) HAVING A FIRST DUCT (35) AND A SECOND DUCT (36) WHICH ARE ARRANGED IN A LONGITUDINAL DIRECTION AT BOTH LONGITUDINAL EDGES FOR GUIDING THE DOWN-FLOW OF THE COOL AIR THROUGH THE FIRST AIR PASSAGE (18); A PLURALITY OF OPENINGS (16) DISPOSED BETWEEN THE FIRST DUCT 35 AND SAID SECOND DUCT (36) FOR DISCHARGING THE AIR ALONG THE SECOND AIR PASSAGE (15) INTO THE REFRIGERATING COMPARTMENT (3). THE AIR DISTRIBUTION APPARATUS (17) FURTHERMORE IS COMPRISED WITH A PLURALITY OF OPENINGS (16) FOR DISCHARGING INTO THE REFRIGERATING COMPARTMENT (3), IN AN UP-DOWN AND RIGHT-LEFT DIRECTION, THE COOL AIR GUIDED BY THE SECOND AIR PASSAGE (15) FORMED IN A LONGITUDINAL DIRECTION; A SWING-WING (26) ROTATABLY DISPOSED THEREAT FOR CONTROLLING THE AIR DISCHARGING DIRECTION THROUGH THE OPENING (16); AND A DRIVING MOTOR (28) FOR ROTATING THE SWING-WING (26).FIG. 6
