Specifically, the heat dissipation fan 3 directly absorbs the heat generated by the compressor 2 through the air outlet channel 4, so that the heat generated by the compressor 2 will not flow to the bottom or back of the body 1, so that the air at the bottom or back of the body 1 can be used as an air inlet channel, and the bottom or back of the body 1 does not need to be divided, so that the gap between the refrigerator 100 and the refrigerator cabinet 200 can be reduced while ensuring the air intake, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure of the refrigerator 100. In addition, by adopting the above-mentioned structural form, the vibrations generated by the compressor 2 and the cooling fan 3 can be easily absorbed by the refrigerator cabinet 200, so that the vibrations generated by the compressor 2 and the cooling fan 3 are not easily directly transmitted to the surrounding air, thereby reducing the operating noise of the refrigerator 100 and improving the user experience.

[0046] It should be specifically noted that, in this embodiment, the first surface of the refrigerator cabinet 200 is any surface of the refrigerator cabinet 200, and it is sufficient that the air outlet channel 4 can be connected to the first surface. Preferably, the first surface is the surface of the refrigerator cabinet 200 facing the body 1, so that the length of the air outlet channel 4 can be reduced, thereby improving the heat extraction efficiency of the heat dissipation fan 3. In addition, the refrigerator cabinet 200 is provided with a receiving cavity 2001, which is the same as the prior art, and the front end of the refrigerator cabinet 200 is provided with an opening, and the refrigerator 100 is embedded in the receiving cavity 2001 from the opening.

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, the refrigerator 100 further includes a heat introduction portion 7, one end of which is connected to the compressor 2, and the other end of which extends into the water receiving cavity, and the heat introduction portion 7 is used to introduce the heat of the compressor 2 into the water receiving cavity. With the above-mentioned structural form, the water in the water receiving cavity can be heated by the heat introduction portion 7, so that the water in the water receiving cavity can evaporate, thereby preventing the water in the water receiving portion from overflowing from the water receiving cavity due to excessive water.

[0056] The water receiving portion is disposed above the compressor 2 to prevent water from dripping into the compressor 2 .

[0057] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the present invention also discloses a kitchen system, which includes a refrigerator cabinet 200 and a refrigerator 100, wherein the refrigerator cabinet 200 is provided with a receiving cavity 2001, and the refrigerator 100 is embedded in the receiving cavity 2001. With the above-mentioned structural form, the heat dissipation fan 3 directly absorbs the heat generated by the compressor 2 through the air outlet channel 4, so that the heat generated by the compressor 2 does not flow to the bottom or back of the body 1, so that the air at the bottom or back of the body 1 can be used as an air inlet channel, and the bottom or back of the body 1 does not need to be divided, so that the gap between the refrigerator 100 and the refrigerator cabinet 200 can be reduced while ensuring the air intake, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure of the refrigerator 100.
