Abstract
A refrigerator may include an air duct cover plate, a closed air cavity, an evaporator, and an air guiding rib. The air duct cover plate and a liner of the refrigerator enclose the closed air cavity. The evaporator is disposed on an outer surface of the liner. The air guiding rib is disposed in the closed air cavity. The air guiding rib divides the closed air cavity into an air intake region, a first supply region, and a second supply region that are sequentially in fluid communication. The first supply region is located above the air intake region and includes an upper air outlet. The second supply region is located below the first supply region and is separated from the air intake region by the air guiding rib. A lower air outlet is disposed in the second supply region.
