Refrigerator having temperature controlled chamber

摘要

A refrigerator having a temperature controlled chamber (20) partitioned from a refrigerator compartment(4) and a freezer compartment (3). Air is circulated between the freezer compartment (3) and the temperature controlled chamber (20) through air inlet and outlet ports, thus cooling the temperature controlled chamber. An intake damper (50) is installed in the air inlet port (32), and a fan (40) is mounted at a rear portion of the temperature controlled chamber (20). The intake damper (50) has a thin plate, thus opening the air inlet port (32) in response to the air flowing into the temperature controlled chamber (20) when the cooling fan (40) is operated, and closing the air inlet port (32) in response to a stoppage of flow of the air when the cooling fan (40) stops. Further, a temperature sensor (70) is mounted in the temperature controlled chamber (20) to control operation of the fan (40), thus allowing an interior of the temperature controlled chamber (20) to be maintained at a predetermined temperature.
