Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de protection (70) susceptible de réduire le volume occupé d'un compartiment de stockage, et des réfrigérateurs (10, 100). Le dispositif de protection (70) est utilisé pour fermer correctement un trajet d'air (109) pour souffler de l'air froid à l'intérieur des réfrigérateurs (10, 100), et comprend : une pluralité de parois de protection rotatives (71, 711, 712, 713, 714, 715) entourant une unité d'alimentation en air (47) depuis un côté externe dans la direction radiale, et un mécanisme d'entraînement de paroi de protection (60) pour entraîner des actions d'ouverture et de fermeture des parois de protection rotatives (71, 711, 712, 713, 714, 715). Le dispositif de protection (70) s'incline vers le côté interne au moyen des parois de protection rotatives (71, 711, 712, 713, 714, 715) de telle sorte que le trajet d'air (109) soit dans un état ouvert.
