Refrigerator and storage container for refrigerator

Abstract

The invention relates to a refrigerator and a storage container for the refrigerator. The storage container comprises an air pressure adjusting valve installed on a barrel, one end of the air pressure adjusting valve communicates with the interior space of the barrel, and the other end of the air pressure adjusting valve communicates with the exterior space of the barrel. The air pressure adjusting valve is arranged to enable the interior space of the barrel to communicate with the exterior space of the barrel through the air pressure adjusting valve under the action of the pressure difference between the interior space and the exterior space of the barrel, so that air in the interior space of the barrel flows out to the exterior space of the barrel through the air pressure adjusting valve, or air in the exterior space of the barrel flows into the interior space of the barrel through the air pressure adjusting valve. In addition, the invention provides the refrigerator provided with the storage container. According to the refrigerator and the storage container for the refrigerator, the balance between the internal pressure and the external pressure of the storage container is kept as much as possible, so that a drawer is convenient to open.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of refrigerated and frozen storage, in particular to a refrigerator and a storage container for the refrigerator. Background technique [0002] A refrigerator is a refrigeration device that maintains a constant low temperature, and it is also a civilian product that keeps food or other items in a constant low temperature and cold state. In the prior art, the storage container of the refrigerator generally needs to be sealed to prevent leakage of cooling capacity or gas interaction, and improve freshness preservation performance. However, since there is almost no gas exchange inside and outside the storage container, it is difficult to open the drawer when the internal air pressure of the storage container is lower than the external air pressure, causing troubles to the user. [0003] Especially for some refrigerator storage containers with modified atmosphere preservation function, the freshness can generally be achi...

Problems solved by technology

However, since there is almost no gas exchange inside and outside the storage container, it is difficult to open the drawer when the internal air pressure of the storage container is lower than the external air pressure, causing troubles to the user.

[0003] Especially for some refrigerator storage containers with modified atmosphere preservation function, the freshness can generally be achieved by reducing the oxygen content in the storage box, so that the air pressure inside the storage container is lower than that outside the storage box, which is not conducive to air pumps, etc. The operation of the modified atmosphere fresh-keeping equipment reduces the absorption efficiency of oxygen, and then the ability of the modified atmosphere fresh-keeping drops significantly after a period of time
