In order to improve the preservation effect of food, the most common method is to provide a high-humidity environment through sealing and control the humidity of the fresh-keeping area. However, sealing is not conducive to the cooling of the food in the special area, resulting in the inability to quickly adjust the temperature in the refrigerator drawer. In addition, when storing food, when more food is put in at one time, more cold air is needed to quickly cool the food; when less food is put in at one time, less cold air is needed to reduce energy consumption.

[0061] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a refrigerator, including a refrigerator body 10, in which the above-mentioned drawer assembly 20 is arranged;

[0062] A temperature sensor 23 is provided in the drawer assembly 20. The temperature sensor 23 is a conventional sensor for monitoring the temperature in the drawer assembly 20. A control board 13 is provided in the refrigerator body 10. The control board 13, the temperature sensor 23 and the driving mechanism 229 are electrically connected in sequence.

[0063] The temperature sensor 23 monitors the temperature inside the drawer assembly 20 and transmits it to the control board 13. The control board 13 controls the movement of the drive mechanism 229 according to the actual temperature inside the drawer assembly 20, controls the opening and closing of the top of the drawer body 21, and thus adjusts the temperature inside the drawer assembly 20.

[0064] In some embodiments, a duct assembly 11 is provided in the refrigerator body 10. The duct assembly 11 may be a conventional duct. The duct assembly 11 has an air outlet 12. The air outlet 12 is located at the upper portion of the drawer assembly 20.

[0065] When the control panel 13 controls the driving mechanism 229 to move and the top of the drawer body 21 is opened, the air outlet 12 of the air duct assembly 11 discharges cold air into the drawer body 21 to quickly cool the interior of the drawer assembly 20 .

[0066] Reference Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a temperature control method, which is applied to the above-mentioned refrigerator, and the temperature control method includes:

[0067] S1: Obtain the temperature in the drawer assembly through a temperature sensor to obtain a first temperature.

[0068] The temperature sensor is arranged in the drawer body to obtain the temperature in the drawer assembly in real time and transmit it to the control board.

[0069] S2: The control board compares the first temperature with a preset temperature range.

[0070] The control panel of the refrigerator stores a temperature range preset by the user, for example, the preset temperature range is 3-8°. When the control panel receives the first temperature of the drawer assembly monitored by the temperature sensor, the first temperature is compared with the preset temperature range.

[0071] When the first temperature is within the preset temperature range, the control board controls the driving mechanism not to operate; for example, when the first temperature is 6°, the first temperature is within the preset temperature range, and the control board controls the driving mechanism not to operate.

[0072] S3: When the first temperature is greater than the preset temperature range, the control panel controls the driving mechanism to drive the movable plate to move toward the fixed plate, and when the movable plate moves to the locking position, the driving mechanism is controlled to stop moving;

[0073] For example, when the first temperature is 13° and the first temperature is greater than the preset temperature range, the control panel controls the driving mechanism to drive the movable plate to move, so that the movable plate moves outward in the first direction to open the drawer assembly. The control panel controls the driving mechanism to move a certain distance so that the movable plate reaches the preset locking position, and then the control panel controls the driving mechanism to stop moving.

[0074] S4: The temperature in the drawer assembly is again acquired through the temperature sensor to obtain a second temperature.

[0075] Cold air enters the drawer assembly to reduce the temperature inside the drawer assembly. The temperature sensor monitors the temperature inside the drawer assembly in real time, obtains a second temperature, and transmits it to the control board.

[0076] S5: The control panel compares the second temperature with a preset temperature range;

[0077] After receiving the second temperature, the control panel compares the second temperature with a preset temperature range.

[0078] When the second temperature is greater than the preset temperature range, the control board controls the driving mechanism not to operate; for example, when the second temperature is 11° and the second temperature is greater than the preset temperature range, the control board controls the driving mechanism not to operate, and the drawer assembly is still in an open state, so that the external cold air continues to be discharged into the drawer assembly, and the temperature in the drawer assembly continues to decrease. The temperature sensor monitors the temperature in the drawer assembly in real time and transmits it to the control board. The control board compares the actual temperature in the drawer assembly with the preset temperature range until the actual temperature in the drawer assembly meets the preset temperature range, and then proceeds to the next step.

[0079] S6: When the second temperature is within the preset temperature range, the control board controls the driving mechanism to drive the movable plate to move in the reset direction, and when the movable plate moves into position, the driving mechanism is controlled to stop moving.

[0080] For example, if the second temperature is 7° and is within the preset temperature range, the control plate controls the direction of movement of the driving mechanism to reset the movable plate and close and seal the drawer assembly.

[0081] In some embodiments, the degree to which the actual temperature in the drawer assembly exceeds the preset temperature is different, the control panel controls the driving mechanism to drive the movable plate to move at different distances, and the opening width of the cover structure is different. The excess temperature can be divided into N levels, and correspondingly, the opening width of the cover structure is set to N levels.

[0082] In this application, the exceeded temperature is divided into three levels. The control panel stores a first threshold temperature and a second threshold temperature, the second threshold temperature is greater than the first threshold temperature, when the actual temperature in the drawer assembly exceeds the preset temperature and is less than the first threshold temperature, it is the first level; when the actual temperature in the drawer assembly exceeds the preset temperature and is greater than the first threshold temperature, but less than the second threshold temperature, it is the second level; when the actual temperature in the drawer assembly exceeds the preset temperature and is greater than the second threshold temperature, it is the third level;

[0083] The movement distance of the driving mechanism is set to three levels, that is, the moving positions of the moving plates are set to three, namely the first locking position, the second locking position and the third locking position. When the two moving plates are in the first locking position, the distance between the two moving plates is the first distance. When the two moving plates are in the second locking position, the distance between the two moving plates is the second distance. When the two moving plates are in the third locking position, the distance between the two moving plates is the third distance. The third distance is greater than the second distance and greater than the first distance.

[0084] When the first temperature exceeds the temperature within the preset temperature range and reaches a first threshold temperature, the control panel controls the driving mechanism to drive the moving plate to move to the first locking position;

[0085] When the first temperature exceeds the temperature within the preset temperature range and reaches a second threshold temperature, the control panel controls the driving mechanism to drive the moving plate to move to the second locking position;

[0086] When the first temperature exceeds the temperature within the preset temperature range and reaches a third threshold temperature, the control panel controls the driving mechanism to drive the moving plate to move to the third locking position.

[0087] In one embodiment, the first threshold temperature, the second threshold temperature and the third threshold temperature are 3° C., 6° C. and 10° C. respectively, and the specific values ​​of the threshold temperatures can be freely set according to the user's usage environment, storage items, etc.

[0088] It is easy to understand that those skilled in the art can combine, split, reorganize, etc. the embodiments of the present application to obtain other embodiments based on the several embodiments provided in the present application, and these embodiments do not exceed the protection scope of the present application.

[0089] The above specific implementation methods further explain in detail the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that the above are only specific implementation methods of the embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made on the basis of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.
