Abstract

The present invention provides a refrigerator. The refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a body forming a storage chamber; a door for opening and closing the storage chamber; a thermoelectric module for cooling the storage chamber; an external temperature sensor, for detecting an external temperature; a storage chamber temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the storage chamber; and a control unit for applying a voltage within a range of a maximum voltage and a minimum voltage to the thermoelectric module, when the external temperature is within a plurality of external temperature ranges In the uppermost external temperature range, a set voltage other than the maximum voltage is applied to the thermoelectric module. According to the present invention, when the external temperature is high, the temperature of the control unit can be lowered, and power consumption can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and more specifically, to a refrigerator using a thermoelectric module to cool a storage room. Background technique [0002] Refrigerators are devices that refrigerate or store food, medicines, and cosmetics at low temperatures to prevent them from rotting or deteriorating. [0003] The refrigerator includes: a storage room for storing food or medicines or cosmetics; and a cooling device for cooling the storage room. [0004] An example of the cooling device may be constituted by a refrigeration cycle device including a compressor, a condenser, an expansion mechanism, and an evaporator. [0005] Another example of the cooling device may be constituted by a thermoelectric module (TEM: Thermoelectric Module). The thermoelectric module utilizes a phenomenon that, when different metals are combined and current is passed, a temperature difference is generated on both end surfaces of the different metals. ...
