A part of the cool air that has come into contact with the cooler 34 is blown out to the side blow-out spaces 50, 50 via the side blow-out ports 52, 52.
The cool air flows down along both side surfaces of the storage room 20 to cool the storage room 20. Accordingly, the temperature distribution in the storage room 20 becomes uniform, and abnormal drying and discoloration of the stored food stored in the storage room 20 depending on the storage location can be suppressed. The cool air blown out from the cooler 34 hits the rear wall 46 of the partition member 26 and flows toward both left and right sides,
Thereby, cool air is uniformly blown out from the side outlets 52 and 52 and the bottom outlet 30 into the storage chamber 20. Since the pressure in the cooler chamber 24 becomes higher than the pressure in the storage chamber 12 due to the operation of the blower fan 36, the cool air sucked into the chamber 24 and brought into contact with the cooler 34 is The air is efficiently blown into the storage chamber 20 from the left and right side outlets 52, 52 and the bottom outlet 30. As described above, according to the storage according to the present invention, the partition member disposed above the inside of the heat-insulating box includes:
A bottom outlet that blows cold air toward the rear side of the storage room and a side outlet that blows cold air toward both left and right sides of the storage room are formed, so cooling is performed from the bottom outlet and the side outlet. vessel
The cold air that has been cooled by contact with the air is blown out into the storage room, and the cool air is circulated over the entire surface of the storage room, thereby making the temperature distribution in the room uniform. Thereby, it is possible to prevent abnormal drying and discoloration of some stored foods caused by the non-uniform temperature distribution in the storage room, and all the foods can be kept for a long time without decreasing freshness. that it obtained and stored.
