[0104] Combination Fig. 9 , 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the refrigerator further includes an air supply duct 2, which is arranged outside the inner shell 1 of the box body and is connected to the drawer 4.

[0105] In the disclosed embodiment, an air supply duct 2 is further provided outside the inner liner 1 of the box body, and the air supply duct 2 is used to deliver cold air to provide cold air for the storage space of the refrigerator. The air supply duct 2 is connected to the drawer 4, and can deliver cold air to the inside of the drawer 4, so that the drawer 4 can meet the storage requirements of some items. When the drawer 4 is set in the refrigerator 12, the refrigerator supplies air to the drawer 4 through the air supply duct 2, which can keep the food in the drawer 4 fresh.

[0106] Here, the air supply duct 2 is connected to the refrigeration module of the refrigerator, and the refrigeration module includes: a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser, a throttling device and a refrigerant pipeline. The refrigeration module also includes a fan, and the cold energy is delivered to the air supply duct 2 through the rotation of the fan.

[0110] In some embodiments, the refrigerator further includes a control device, which is configured to control an opening angle of a guide plate at an air inlet of the drawer according to an actual distance between the shelf and the bottom of the drawer.

[0111] The actual distance between the shelf and the bottom of the drawer can reflect the capacity of the drawer. The capacity of the drawer can be calculated by multiplying the actual distance by the bottom area of ​​the drawer. The actual distance is proportional to the capacity. The larger the actual distance, the larger the capacity of the drawer, and the smaller the actual distance, the smaller the capacity of the drawer. The cooling capacity provided to the drawer can be determined based on the capacity of the drawer. When the capacity of the drawer is large, more cooling capacity is required, and when the capacity of the drawer is small, less cooling capacity is required.

[0112] Optionally, a distance sensor is provided at the bottom of the rack to detect the actual distance between the rack and the bottom of the drawer. The control device receives the distance data detected by the distance sensor capable of wireless communication therewith and takes it as the actual distance.

[0113] Optionally, the guide plate is an air inlet damper. The actual distance is positively correlated with the opening angle of the air inlet damper. When the actual distance is larger, it indicates that the capacity of the drawer is larger and the required cooling capacity is larger. Therefore, the opening angle of the air inlet damper is controlled to be larger, so that more cooling capacity can be input into the drawer.

[0114] Optionally, the control device is configured to obtain an actual distance between the shelf and the bottom of the drawer, and control the air inlet door to open at a first initial angle according to a corresponding relationship between the actual distance and the opening angle of the air inlet door.

[0115] Optionally, the range of the opening angle α of the air inlet damper is: 0°<α≤90°, and the range of the actual distance L is: 15cm≤L≤30cm. Within this range, the correspondence between the actual distance and the opening angle of the air inlet damper can be set.

[0116] The correspondence between the actual distance and the opening angle of the air inlet door can be in the form of a one-to-one correspondence data table. In this case, the correspondence between the actual distance and the opening angle of the air inlet door can be stored in a database in advance. After obtaining the actual distance between the shelf and the bottom of the drawer, the corresponding opening angle of the air inlet door can be obtained by querying the database, and the opening angle is used as the first initial angle to control the air inlet door to open at the first initial angle.
