  • a refrigerating compartment 101 a freezing compartment 102, and a vegetable compartment 103 are formed from top to bottom.
  • a cooling chamber 104 for receiving a cooler 108 is formed inside the freezing compartment 102, and a partition wall 105 that partitions the cooling chamber 104 from the freezing compartment 102 is formed with an opening 106 for supplying cold air to each storage chamber.
  • the opening 106 is provided with a blower fan 107 that sends out cold air, and a fan cover 110 covering the blower fan 107 is located in the freezing compartment 102.
  • An air damper 114 is provided at a middle portion of an air passageway 109 through which the cold air supplied to the refrigerating compartment 101 circulates.
  • the fan cover 110 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 12 .
  • a recess 111 having a substantially quadrangular shape is formed in the fan cover 110, and the fan cover 110 is formed with an opening 113 obtained by partially cutting out an upper portion of the recess 111.
  • the opening 113 of the fan cover 110 communicates with the air passageway 109 on the side of the refrigerator body.
  • the refrigerator 100 configured above operates as follows. Referring to FIG. 11 , first, in a case where refrigerating compartment 101 and the freezing compartment 102 are both cooled, the fan cover 110 is separated from the blower fan 107, the air damper 114 is opened, and the blower fan 107 is rotated in this state. As such, part of the cold air cooled by the cooler 108 in the cooling chamber 104 is sent to the freezing chamber 102 based on a blowing force of the blower fan 107. In addition, the remaining part of the cold air is sent to the refrigerating compartment 101 via the air passageway 109, the air damper 114, and the air passageway 109. Thereby, both the freezing compartment 102 and the refrigerating compartment 101 are cooled.

  • the fan cover 110 When the fan cover 110 is in a closed state, the opening 113 formed at the upper portion of the fan cover 110 communicates with the air passageway 109. As a result, the cold air sent by the blower fan 107 is supplied to the refrigerating compartment 101 via the opening 113, the air damper 114 and the air passageway 109.
  • a plurality of storage chambers can be properly cooled with one cooler 108.

  • the control device judges that a high-temperature article that raises the temperature of the storage chamber is placed in the storage chamber, and increases the torque by reducing the rotation speed of the electric motor to prevent the driving shaft from freezing.

On the other hand, if the flag F1 is not set to 1, i.e., in a case where S15 is "NO", since the thermally insulating door 18 is not opened and closed and a high-temperature article does not exist in the refrigerating compartment 13, the abnormal state is not detected and the process returns to step S10.
  • step S16 the control device 70 judges whether a temperature rise in the refrigerating compartment 13 is 6°C or more before and after step S12, that is, before and after the thermally insulating door 18 is opened and closed.

  • the abnormality detection is performed until next time when the compressor 41 reverses from the ON state to the OFF state. Therefore, the control device 70 does not continue the detection of the abnormal state after step S27, but turns to step S21. As such, the control device 70 detects the abnormal state from the ON state of the compressor 41 until next ON state, or from the OFF state of the compressor 41 until next OFF state.
  • step S27 the control device 70 judges whether the flag F2 is set to 1.

On the other hand, if the flag F2 is not set to 1, that is, if step S27 is "NO”, since the thermally insulating door 18 is not opened and closed and a high-temperature article does not exist in the refrigerating compartment 13, the abnormal state is not detected, and the process turns to step S21.

  • step S29 the control device 70 judges whether a duration for cooling the refrigerating compartment 13 by operating the compressor 41 and the flower fan 50 is more than 30 minutes. If the operation duration is more than 30 minutes, i.e., if step S29 is "YES", the control device 70 judges that there is a high-temperature article in the refrigerating compartment 13, and detects an abnormal state in step S18. On the other hand, if the operation duration is less than 30 minutes, i.e., if step S29 is "NO", the control device 70 judges that there is no high-temperature article in the refrigerating compartment 13, does not detect the abnormal state, and turns to step S21.
  • step S19 After detecting the abnormal state in step S18, the control device 70 judges in step S19 whether the temperature in the refrigerating compartment 13 has reached a power-off point.
  • the power-off point is a temperature at which the refrigerating compartment 13 is sufficiently cooled to stop the compressor 41 of the freezing loop. If the temperature inside the refrigerating compartment 13 reaches the power-off point, that is, if step S19 is "YES", since the article accommodated in the refrigerating compartment 13 is sufficiently cooled, the control device 70 cancels the abnormal state in step S20, sets the flag F1 to 0 and sets the flag F2 to 0.

On the other hand, if it is not within two cycle periods, that is, if step S21 is "NO", the control device 70 does not perform an act upon abnormity and returns to step S10.
  • step S21 in the case of the abnormal state, the control device 70 can continuously perform the torque enhancement in step S23 described later for more than one cycle period. Therefore, the effect of preventing the driving shaft 62 and the fan cover 61 from freezing becomes greater.
  • step S23 an electric motor 93 is decelerated to prevent freezing.
  • the electric motor 93 is decelerated, the sound of electric motor becomes louder.

  • the torque of the electric motor 93 can be increased from approximately 20N to approximately 30N.
  • the torque of the electric motor 93 can be increased to approximately 1.5 times. Therefore, referring to FIG. 6 , even if there is some moisture between the trunk 621 of the driving shaft 62 and the opening 801 of the fan cover 61, the driving shaft 62 can be rotated with a large torque of the electric motor 93 to prevent the driving shaft 62 from becoming stiff due to freezing.
