Abstract (en)

A refrigerator having means for opening/closing cool air discharge ports (16) through which cool air is supplied into a cooling compartment (3). Shutter members (31) for opening/closing ports (16) in a cool air supply duct (9) are driven by cams (61) rotated by a motor (39). Conversion means convert the rotational movement of the cams into a reciprocal raising and lowering movement of the shutters (31). The ports (16) are opened by the shutter members (31) when the temperature of the compartment (3) is too high, and closed when it is too low. Thus, the amount of the cool air supplied into the compartment (3) can be controlled, and the overcooling of the compartment can be prevented. <IMAGE>
