Abstract
In a refrigerator, in order to provide a device for controlling a cooling air supply of a refrigerator which is capable of regularly maintaining a temperature distribution inside a chilling chamber in a short time by intensively discharging cooling air to a part having a relatively high temperature when a temperature of the part inside the chilling chamber rises due to lots of preserved foods, etc., a device for controlling a cooling air supply of a refrigerator includes a cooling air supply path formed at the upper portion of a mullion wall demarcating a chilling chamber and a freezing chamber and supplying cooling air ventilated by a ventilation fan to the chilling chamber, a cooling air guide path diverged from the cooling air supply path and guiding the cooling air to each part of the chilling chamber, a cooling air duct connected to the cooling air guide path and discharging the cooling air to each partition demarcated by shelves of the chilling chamber and a cooling air control means intensively discharging the cooling air to a partition at which a load has occurred of the partitions demarcated by the shelves of the chilling chamber.
