Abstract

A damper device for a refrigerator has a power transmission structure capable of performing accurate opening/closing operation when a motor is used as the power source for rotating a number of baffles of the refrigerator to open/close a number of cold air passages for a compact overall size. The damper device for a refrigerator includes a frame having openings connected to a cold air passage; baffles; and a driving device to rotate the baffles, wherein the driving device has a motor for generating a driving rotation force, a gear device for transmitting the rotation force from the motor, a first following shaft for receiving the rotation force from the gear device and transmitting it to the first baffle, and a second following shaft connected to the first following shaft via a link mechanism to transmit the rotation force to the second baffle.
