Cooling air blowing apparatus of refrigerator
A cooling air blowing apparatus of a refrigerator includes: a driving motor fixed at a motor mount formed at a rear side of a freezing chamber; a blowing fan mounted on a rotational shaft of the driving motor and configured to blow cooling air in both an axial and a radial direction as the driving motor is driven; and a shroud positioned in a circumferential direction of the blowing fan. The blowing fan includes turbo blades for blowing cooling air in a radial direction in addition to the axial flow blade for blowing cooling air in an axial direction. The cooling air blown in the axial direction is sent to a freezing chamber, while the cooling air blown in the radial direction is sent to the cooling chamber. Thus, the blowing fan with the turbo blades ensures that in a refrigerator having a complicated and long cooling air passage structure, cooling air can be circulated smoothly and quickly.
