Provided is a refrigerator comprising: a body having at least one door; and at least one distance measurement device attachable to the body. The at least one distance measurement device comprises: a distance sensor including a light-emitting unit for emitting a light at a first field of view (FOV), and a light-receiving unit for receiving a light incident at a second FOV; and a sensor cover having a light-receiving opening through which a part of the light incident at the second FOV passes, while blocking the remaining part of the light incident at the second FOV. L'invention concerne un réfrigérateur comprenant : un corps ayant au moins une porte ; et au moins un dispositif de mesure de distance pouvant être fixé au corps. Le ou les dispositifs de mesure de distance comprennent : un capteur de distance comprenant une unité d'émission de lumière destinée à émettre une lumière au niveau d'un premier champ de vision (FOV) et une unité de réception de lumière destinée à recevoir une lumière incidente au niveau d'un second FOV ; et un couvercle de capteur ayant une ouverture de réception de lumière à travers laquelle passe une partie de la lumière incidente au niveau du second FOV, tout en bloquant la partie restante de la lumière incidente au niveau du second FOV. 적어도 하나의 도어를 포함하는 몸체, 및 몸체에 부착 가능한 적어도 하나의 거리 측정 장치를 포함하는 냉장고가 제공된다. 적어도 하나의 거리 측정 장치는, 제1 시야각(Field of View, 이하 'FOV')으로 광을 조사하는 발광부 및 제2 FOV로 입사되는 광을 수광하는 수광부를 포함하는 거리 센서, 및 제2 FOV로 입사되는 광의 일부를 통과시키고 제2 FOV로 입사되는 광의 나머지 일부를 차단하도록 제공되는 수광 개구부를 포함하는 센서 커버를 포함한다.
