The invention relates to a refrigerating and freezing device. The refrigerating and freezing device comprises a box body, a door body and a door
gasket. A storage space is defined in the box body, thebox body is provided with a box shell used for forming the exterior of the box body, and an inner container used for forming the interior of the box body, and each of the front portions of two side plates of the box shell is provided with a box shell connecting part used for being connected with the inner container. The door body is connected with the box body and used for opening and / closing thestorage space. The door
gasket is arranged on the backward surface of the door body, and when the door body is in a
closed state, air-tight seal is formed between the box body and the door body. Thefarthest ends, stretching in the transverse direction from outside to inside, of the external sections, exposed out of the exterior of the box body, of the box shell connecting parts do not exceed thepositions where the initial ends, stretching in the transverse direction from outside to inside, of the sections, adjacent to the box shell connecting parts, of the door
gasket, when the door body isin the
closed state, the door gasket tightly makes contact with the inner container of the box body, thus, the possibility of
heat leakage generated at the position of the box shell due to the heat bridge effect is reduced, then
cooling capacity losses are effectively reduced, and the
energy consumption of the refrigerating and freezing device is reduced.
