Wherein the fan mounting case is partially separated from the upper surface, and the first return flow path is formed on the separated interface.
The fan mounting case is provided with a first cool air circulating flow path communicating with the upper and lower openings, and an inlet of the first return flow path is formed in front of the refrigerator of the cool air circulating flow path.
And an outlet of the first return flow passage communicating with the second return flow passage is formed at one side of the first cool air circulating flow passage.
And a guide groove is formed between the inlet and the outlet of the first return passage.
A part of the front surface of the flow path body is separated, and the second return flow path is formed on the separated interface.
The fan mounting case is formed with a first cool air circulating flow path communicating with the upper opening and the lower opening. The front surface of the flow path body is formed with an inclined surface inclined downward toward the front of the refrigerator, And the cold air supplied to the lower box through the flow path is guided to the front of the refrigerator.
And a flow guide member protrudes from the lower end of the front surface of the flow path body so as to be adjacent to the outlet of the second return flow path.
A multi-duct is installed on the upper surface of the fan mounting case and a rear surface of the upper box, and a return hole is formed in the multi-duct to return chilled air in the upper box. A second cool- And a support for separating the first cool air circulation passage and the first return passage is formed.
The fan mounting case may include a duct portion to which the first return flow passage is formed, a fan installed in an upper portion of the duct portion to protrude above the inner surface of the upper box and to be exposed to the inner surface of the upper box, And a fan fixed cover portion in which a coolant circulation passage and a circulation passage communicating with the first return flow passage are formed.
According to the refrigerator of the present invention having the above-described structure, the connecting portion is provided between the upper and lower boxes, which are divided into a freezing chamber and a refrigerating chamber, respectively, to form an inner surface of the refrigerator. And a return flow path is formed at a central position of the fan mounting case, so that it is possible to smoothly return the circulated cold air to the evaporator.
