Abstract
A blower configured to circulate cold air inside a body of a refrigerator. The blower includes a casing, an impeller accommodated in the casing, and a support member configured to support the impeller against the casing. The impeller includes a disk-shaped base plate rotatably supported by the support member. The casing includes an inner circumferential surface extending so as to gradually move away from an outer circumference of the base plate toward a rotational direction of the impeller at a predetermined position around the outer circumference of the base plate, and a first case flow path between the inner circumferential surface and the outer circumference. An introduction port configured to introduce the cold air to a second case flow path branched from the first case flow path is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the casing.
