[0026] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0027] Example 1 Please refer to Figure 1-8A direct cooling automatic defrosting refrigerator comprises an outer box 1, a box door 11 is installed on the front side of the outer box 1 through a hinge, a box liner 12 is installed inside the outer box 1, three partitions 13 are slidably connected to the inner surface of the box liner 12, a refrigerator drawer 14 is slidably connected to the inner bottom surface of the box liner 12, a defrost device 15 is installed on one side of the inner surface of the box liner 12, a guide member for controlling the flow direction of defrost water is slidably connected between the box liner 12 and the defrost device 15, a conveying member for transporting defrost water is installed on one side of the inner surface of the box liner 12, and a sliding member is movably provided on the upper side of the inner part of the box liner 12. The guide member includes a zero-degree chamber storage plate 2 and a water guide plate 22. The zero-degree chamber storage plate 2 and the water guide plate 22 are both slidably connected to the box liner 12 and the defrost 15. A notch 24 is provided at one corner of the upper surface of the zero-degree chamber storage plate 2. A guide groove 1 25 is provided on the upper surface of the water guide plate 22. A guide groove 2 26 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the water guide plate 22. A through hole 27 is provided on the inner surface of the guide groove 2 26. The upper surface of the zero-degree chamber storage plate 2 is inclined toward the notch 24. The through hole 27 is provided at the lowest position of the guide groove 2 26. A fixing hole 21 is provided on the upper surface of the zero-degree chamber storage plate 2. The upper surface of the zero-degree chamber storage plate 2 is installed with the box liner 12 through the screws inside the fixing hole 21. The right side of the zero-degree chamber storage plate 2 is installed with the defrost 15 through the screws. Limiting plates 23 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower surface of the water guide plate 22. The conveying member includes a drainage adapter 32, which is installed on the surface of the zero-degree chamber storage plate 2, a connecting pipe 31 is installed at the front end of the drainage adapter 32, a water receiving bucket 3 is installed at the upper end of the connecting pipe 31, and the water receiving bucket 3 is arranged below the through hole 27, a drainage pipe 33 is installed at the rear side of the drainage adapter 32, and a water receiving tray 34 is slidably installed at the rear side of the outer box 1. A protective plate 35 is installed on the rear side of the outer box 1 by screws.

[0028] Implementation process: food is placed on the surface of the zero-degree chamber storage plate 2, and the defrost device 15 starts working to defrost the food. The defrost water generated falls on the surfaces of guide groove 1 25 and guide groove 2 26 through the gap 24 opened on the surface of the zero-degree chamber storage plate 2. The defrost water on the surface of guide groove 1 25 flows to the inside of guide groove 2 26, and then falls to the inside of the water receiving bucket 3 through the through hole 27, and flows to the inside of the water receiving tray 34 through the connecting pipe 31, the drainage adapter 32 and the drainage pipe 33, and then flows to the inside of the compressor compartment connected to the water outlet at the bottom of the water receiving tray 34. The user does not need to manually take out the water receiving tray in the box to pour out the water, and only needs to take out the water receiving tray 34 when cleaning.

[0029] Implementation benefits: The defrost water flows to the inside of the compressor compartment through the water receiving tray 34, preventing the defrost water from staying inside the box liner 12 to breed bacteria and affect food hygiene.

[0030] Example 2 The sliding part includes a sealing door 4, a mounting plate 41 is installed on the left side of the inner surface of the box liner 12 by screws, a sliding groove 42 is provided on the mounting plate 41 and one side of the defrost device 15, and two sliding rods 43 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer surface of the sealing door 4, and the sliding rods 43 are slidably arranged inside the sliding groove 42.

[0031] Implementation process: When food needs to be added to the surface of the zero-degree chamber storage plate 2, pull the bottom end of the sealed door 4 upwards to make the two sliding rods 43 on both sides slide inside the slide groove 42, so that the sealed door 4 is converted from a vertical state to a horizontal state, thereby exposing the zero-degree chamber storage plate 2 for convenient food addition. After the addition is completed, the reverse operation can be performed.

[0032] Implementation benefits: The addition of food on the surface of the storage plate 2 of the zero-degree chamber is realized.

[0033] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above specific implementation methods. Therefore, any modification or equivalent replacement of the present invention; and all technical solutions and improvements thereof that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention are included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
