First, when the temperature detected by the temperature detector 36 is higher than a set value, the compressor 18 is operated, and the cool air cooled by the cooler 21 is forcibly ventilated by the blower 22 and the cool air discharge port 34 for the freezing compartment. Is discharged into the upper freezer compartment 5 and the lower freezer compartment 6, and then returned to the cooler 21 from the cool air suction port 35. When the temperature detected by the temperature detector 36 becomes lower than the set value, the compressor 18 is stopped, and thereafter, this operation is repeated to cool the room to a freezing temperature of, for example, -18 ° C.

Next, when the temperature detected by the temperature detectors 36 and 37 is higher than the set value, the cool air cooled by the cooler 21 by opening the damper device 24 is forcibly ventilated by the blower 22 to discharge the first cool air. The air is discharged from the cool air discharge port 28 into the refrigerator compartment 3 through the air passage 27. The cool air that has cooled the inside of the refrigerator compartment 3 flows into the upper surface of the vegetable compartment 4 from the communication port 33, indirectly cools the vegetable compartment from the outer periphery of the storage container 12, and cools through the cool air suction port 32 through the cool air suction air passage 31. Returned to 21. Then, when the temperature detected by the temperature detector 37 becomes lower than the set value, the damper device 24 is closed, and thereafter, this operation is repeated, and the refrigerator compartment 3 is refrigerated at, for example, 4 ° C., and the vegetable compartment 4 is refrigerated at, for example, 6 ° C.

When the temperature detected by the temperature detectors 36 and 38 is higher than the set value, the cool air cooled by the cooler 21 by opening the damper device 25 is forcibly ventilated by the blower 22 and the second cool air The air is discharged from the cool air discharge port 30 into the low temperature chamber 7 through the passage 29. Then, the cool air that has cooled the inside of the low-temperature chamber 7 flows into the upper surface of the vegetable room 4 through the communication port 33, indirectly cools the vegetable room from the outer periphery of the storage container 12, and cools through the cool air suction port 32 through the cool air suction air passage 31. Returned to 21. Then, when the temperature detected by the temperature detector 38 becomes lower than the set value, the damper device 25 closes, and thereafter, this operation is repeated, and the inside of the low-temperature chamber 7 is kept in a temperature zone such as chilled at 0 ° C. or partial freezing at −3 ° C.

On the other hand, from the viewpoint of the cooling function and the mounting efficiency of the control parts, the cooler 21, which is a cooling source, is set differently from the vegetable compartment 4 having a high temperature in the refrigerator, and the upper freezer compartment 5 having the lowest temperature in the refrigerator. Since it is arranged close to the rear, the temperature inside the vegetable compartment 4 can be reduced, and the upper freezer compartment 5 and the lower freezer compartment 6 can be cooled efficiently. In particular, the upper freezer compartment 5 and the lower freezer compartment 6
Is arranged at the lower part of the refrigerator main body 1, so that the cooler 21 can be inevitably arranged below.
A dead space formed between the cooling device 7 and the cooler 21 can be eliminated. Furthermore, since the cooler 21 and the blower 22 and the damper devices 24 and 25 disposed on the cooler 21 can be lowered, the mounting efficiency can be increased, the inside of the refrigerator can be effectively used, and the center of gravity of the refrigerator body 1 can be lowered. According to the company, it is possible to improve installation.

Further, the electronic control board 26 for controlling the electric components is not provided on the upper rear surface of the refrigerator main body 1 as in the conventional case, but is housed in the air path control panel 23 in the central part of the refrigerator. The compressor 18, the blower 22, the damper devices 24 and 25, the defrost heater 39 mainly arranged below the central portion
Also, there is an advantage that the distance to electric components such as the above is shortened as compared with the related art, and the cost for wiring and the assembly work are reduced.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional construction, since the cooling function parts are arranged at the lower part of the refrigerator main body, the bottom surface of the lower freezing compartment 6 cannot be made wider, and the rear surface of the storage container cannot be obtained. Had the drawback of creating dead space.

Further, since the cooler 21 is disposed above the compressor 18, if the height of the cooler 18 is designed to have a necessary and sufficient cooling capacity, the cooler 1
8 necessarily reaches the height of the heat insulating wall 2. As a result, the blower 22 disposed near the upper portion of the cooler 18 protrudes above the upper freezer compartment 5, so that the rear end portion of the heat insulating wall 2 is partially raised to raise the rising portion 2.
It is necessary to form a and to insulate the surroundings of the blower 22 and the vegetable compartment 4 from each other, resulting in a disadvantage that the structure becomes complicated and the ineffective volume increases. Furthermore, since the rising part 2a of the heat insulation wall, the blower 22, and the air path control panel 23 are arranged at the rear, the depth of the vegetable room 4 and the low temperature room 7 is violated, the storage amount is reduced, and the height of the refrigerator is substantially reduced. There is also a drawback that the storage ability of the storage portion, which is the most convenient storage operation in the center, is hindered.

Further, since the condenser 19 and the evaporating dish 20 are vertically stored in the machine room 17 which is the bottom of the refrigerator main body 1, a certain height is secured to secure the heat radiation ability of the condenser 19 and the evaporating ability of the evaporating dish. Space is needed. For this reason, there was also a disadvantage that the space in the storage room was violated and the volumetric efficiency was reduced.

Further, since the cool air discharge air passage 27 is provided at the center of the refrigerator 3, the air passage protrudes into the convenient center of the room, and the space is hindered. Then, in order to enhance the commercial value, if the protruding portion at the center is designed to cover the entire inner surface of the refrigerator compartment with a decorative cover, there is a disadvantage that the ineffective space is further increased. further,
Since the suction port is provided only by the vent 33 at the lower part of the refrigerating compartment for multi-stage discharge from the central part, there is also a disadvantage that the temperature in the refrigerating compartment 3 tends to be uneven in the left-right direction.
