The heat exchange component cools the refrigeration cavity 21, and the refrigeration cavity 21 is connected to the first air outlet 14 and the second air outlet 16; the first fan 4 is installed in the air circulation cavity formed by the accommodating cavity 11, the air duct 15 and the refrigeration cavity 21.

[0033] Based on the above structure, the appearance structure of this refrigerator is different from that of the refrigerator in the prior art. It adopts a base 2 for support, the shell 1 is arranged horizontally and an opening 12 is provided at the end of the shell 1. The user can take out the items by opening the door 13, which can give the user a visual experience and usage experience different from the past; at the same time, based on the reasonable arrangement of the air inlet and outlet, the air duct 15 and the refrigeration cavity 21, this refrigerator allows the cold air generated by the heat exchange component to circulate in the accommodating cavity 11, the air duct 15 and the refrigeration cavity 21 through the first fan 4, so as to achieve the purpose of cooling the items in the accommodating cavity 11, and has a better refrigeration effect.

[0034] In this embodiment, the heat exchange component includes an evaporator 31, a condenser 32 and a compressor 33 for mutually exchanging heat, a partition 22 is provided on the base 2, a refrigeration chamber 21 is provided above the partition 22, the evaporator 31 is provided in the refrigeration chamber 21, and the condenser 32 and the compressor 33 are provided below the partition 22. Based on the above structure, the evaporator 31 for refrigeration and the condenser 32 and the compressor 33 that generate heat in the heat exchange component are separated by the partition 22, and the evaporator 31 for refrigeration is provided above the partition 22 so that it is located in the refrigeration chamber 21 at the same time, so that the generated cold air can enter the accommodating chamber 11 in the shortest path. Preferably, the partition 22 is a heat-insulating partition, and a heat-insulating surrounding structure 23 is provided above the partition 22. The partition 22 and the heat-insulating surrounding structure 23 enclose the refrigeration chamber 21 to reduce the heat exchange between the refrigeration chamber 21 and the outside.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first fan 4 is arranged below the first air outlet 14, and the evaporator 31 is arranged below the second air outlet 16. The first fan 4 is used to draw air from the accommodating chamber 11 to the refrigerating chamber 21. The pressure in the refrigerating chamber 21 is relatively high. The relatively high-pressure air in the refrigerating chamber 21 then returns from the refrigerating chamber 21 to the accommodating chamber 11 through the air duct 15. The air is cooled when passing through the evaporator 31, and the cold air moves from top to bottom in the accommodating chamber 11. Based on the above structural arrangement, the cold air can be circulated well. Of course, in addition to the above structural arrangement, the first fan 4 can also be arranged at any position in the air circulation chamber formed by the accommodating chamber 11, the air duct 15 and the refrigerating chamber 21. As long as the function of air circulation can be achieved, similar replacements also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0036] In this embodiment, the base 2 is provided with ventilation holes, and the position of the ventilation holes is lower than the partition 22. The condenser 32 and the compressor 33 disposed below the partition 22 both generate heat when working, and in order to dissipate the heat better, ventilation holes are provided on the base 2. Preferably, a second fan 34 is provided between the condenser 32 and the compressor 33. The second fan 34 is designed to promote air circulation, so that the condenser 32 and the compressor 33 dissipate heat faster.

[0037] In this embodiment, the base 2 is in a vertical cylindrical shape, and the shell 1 is in a horizontal cylindrical shape. The ratio of the diameter of the base 2 to the diameter of the shell 1 is 1:1.3-1.5, and the ratio of the height of the base 2 to the length of the shell 1 is 1:1.1-1.4. The base 2 and the shell 1 are both set to be cylindrical so that the refrigerator has a more beautiful appearance structure. In order to ensure that the center of gravity of the refrigerator is sufficiently stable, the above-mentioned size ratio range is designed to effectively prevent the refrigerator from tipping over. Of course, the appearance structure of the base 2 and the shell 1 is not limited to the cylindrical shape as shown in the accompanying drawings, but can also be an elliptical cylindrical shape, and even other shapes such as a square column are also possible.

[0038] In this embodiment, the shell 1 includes a cylindrical body 18 and a cylindrical baffle 19 arranged on the inner side of the body 18, the bottom of the body 18 is provided with a first through hole 181 and a second through hole 182, the top of the baffle 19 is provided with a third through hole 191, the bottom of the baffle 19 is provided with a fourth through hole 192, and the inner surface of the body 18 is provided with an annular groove 183, the first through hole 181 and the third through hole 191 are both connected to the annular groove 183, and the second through hole 182 is connected to the fourth through hole 192. For the refrigerator of the structure provided by the present invention, in order to make the external shape and structure of the refrigerator look more beautiful, it is necessary to set the air duct 15 inside the shell 1, and in order to facilitate manufacturing, the present invention provides the above structural setting, that is, the shell 1 includes a main body 18 and a baffle 19, the first through hole 181, the second through hole 182 and the annular groove 183 are processed on the main body 18, and the third through hole 191 and the fourth through hole 192 are processed on the baffle 19, and then the main body 18 and the baffle 19 are assembled, and the first through hole 181 and the third through hole 191 are connected to the annular groove 183, and the second through hole 182 is connected to the fourth through hole 192, so that the various air outlets and air ducts 15 required for the shell 1 can be formed, and the manufacturing process is relatively simple and the production efficiency is high.

[0039] In this embodiment, an air guide plate 5 is provided at the bottom of the accommodating chamber 11. The air guide plate 5 includes a horizontal plate 51 and support plates 52 provided on both sides of the horizontal plate 51. The horizontal plate 51 is provided with a plurality of air guide holes 53. The farther away from the middle of the air guide plate 5, the larger the aperture of the air guide hole 53. Since the cold air in the accommodating chamber 11 moves from the middle of the top to the bottom, in order to evenly cool the items in the accommodating chamber 11, the farther away from the middle of the air guide plate 5, the larger the aperture of the air guide hole 53, so that more cold air flows to both sides of the air guide plate 5, so that the items are evenly cooled.

[0040] In this embodiment, a load rack 6 is provided on the top of the air guide plate 5. The load rack 6 is used to carry articles.
