Since the operation process of the temperature controller 93 of the lower cooling compartment 122 is the same as that of the temperature controller 93 of the upper cooling compartment 121 , a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

When the diaphragm 3 is detached, the upper cooling compartment 121 and the lower cooling compartment 122 are merged into one integral freezing compartment 12, in which case the two temperature controllers 93 are combined with the freezing compartment 12. The temperature in the interior may be measured, and any one temperature controller 93 may measure the temperature in the freezing compartment 12 alone, and the temperature in the freezing compartment 12 measured by the temperature controller 93 is higher than the set temperature If it is low, the temperature controller 93 controls and closes the air door 51 of the first air outlet 61 and the second air outlet 63 portion so that the air is moved to the first air outlet duct 53 and the second air outlet. If the temperature in the freezing compartment 12 measured by the temperature controller 93 is higher than the set temperature, the temperature controller 93 prevents it from flowing out from the discharge duct 55 and further stops the cooling of the upper freezing compartment 12 . ) controls and opens the air door 51 of the first air outlet 61 and the second air outlet 63, so that the cooled air closes the first air outlet 61 and the second air outlet 63. can flow out through and thus cooling of the freezer compartment 12 is realized.

The refrigerator 100 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure divides the freezing compartment 12 into an upper cooling compartment 121 and a lower cooling compartment 122 by installing a door panel, and installing a relatively independently operable air duct. By installing the temperature controller 93 and the air door 51 so that the two cooling compartments have the ability to independently perform a cooling operation, the refrigerator 100 can control the two cooling compartments according to user demand. By controlling the communication/blocking of the air duct and further controlling the temperature of the two cooling compartments, the refrigerator 100 has more diverse usage types and meets the different usage demands of different users for the refrigerator 100 can do it
