At this time, since a large amount of cold heat is not transmitted from the cool air passing through the rising passage 28b to the member 42 by the heat insulating member 28c, the amount of cold heat transferred to the member 42 when a large amount of cool air flows through the cool air passage 28 is reduced. It is limited, and the condensation of the member 42 can be prevented. Then, by varying the area and thickness of the heat insulating member 28c, cold air at a desired temperature and flow rate can be circulated.

When the temperature of the cool air passing through the cool air passage 28 is low, or when the cooling capacity of the cool air is increased, for example, when the flow rate of the cool air is increased, the cooling of the member 42 by the cool air is moderated and the members near the descending passage 28a are reduced. In order to prevent dew condensation on the refrigerator compartment 11 side of 42, a thin heat insulating member may be provided also on the member 42 side of the descending passage 28a.

Further, the cool heat transmitted from the cool air passing through the ascending passage 28b and passing through the descending passage 28a is released from the member 42. For this reason, it is sent to the blower 22 and the cold air passage 2
Although the pressure of the cool air immediately after entering into 8 has fluctuated to form a pulsating flow, the cool air passing through the descending passage 28a through the communication hole 28g is reduced in pressure and rectified. Thus, even when the amount of cold air is small, the amount of cold heat released into the refrigerator compartment 11 is stabilized, and the temperature in the storage compartment can be made uniform.

Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the member 42 may be a cold storage member in which a jelly-like or liquid cold insulator 42c is enclosed by packaging materials 42d and 42e. By doing so, the member 42 is stored more cold by the cool heat of the cool air flowing through the cool air passage 28, and discharges as cool heat according to the temperature distribution in the refrigerator compartment 11. Therefore, the refrigerator compartment 11 is cooled uniformly.

Further, the cool storage member absorbs heat and dissipates heat when the compressor 20 is stopped and fluctuations in the temperature of the cool air in the cool air passage 28, so that the cool air temperature in the cool air passage 28 can be maintained. At this time, since the cold storage member forms the inner wall of the refrigerator compartment 11, the space of the refrigerator compartment 11 can be widened, and the space of the refrigerator 1 can be saved. It is more desirable that the packaging materials 42d and 42e be made of a thermally conductive aluminum alloy or stainless steel.
