Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of refrigeration equipment, and in particular to a refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] Air-cooled refrigerators are widely used because they are frost-free. As the storage time of fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator increases, their moisture content gradually decreases and they wilt and become stale. Therefore, the moisturizing function of the refrigerator is very important.

[0003] A humidification module is installed in the refrigerator to increase the humidity inside the refrigerator. A liquid storage cavity is formed in the humidification module to provide water for humidification. As humidification continues, the water in the water box continues to decrease, and the humidification module needs to be replenished with water.

[0004] In the related art, the disassembly of the humidification module is complicated and the water replenishment operation is cumbersome. Summary of the invention

[0005] The embodiment of the present application provides a refrigerator, wherein a humidification module is provided on the door body and can rotate relative to the door body for humidification, and the water replenishment operation is simple.

[0006] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a refrigerator, comprising:

[0007] A box body, which is constructed to form a refrigerated compartment;

[0008] A door body is rotatably connected to the box body to open or close the refrigerating compartment; at least one door shelf is provided on a side of the door body facing the refrigerating compartment;

[0009] a humidifying module configured to humidify the refrigerating compartment; the humidifying module is located on a side of the door body facing the refrigerating compartment and below one of the door shelves; a water injection port is provided on the top side of the humidifying module;

[0010] The humidification module is configured to be rotatable relative to the door body so that the water injection port is away from the door body.

[0011] The refrigerator of the embodiment of the present application humidifies the cold storage compartment by providing a humidifying module to increase the humidity of the cold storage compartment, thereby helping to improve the preservation quality of the cold storage compartment. The humidifying module is installed on the door body, which is not only convenient for adding water, but also does not occupy the storage space of the cold storage compartment. In addition, the humidifying module rotates relative to the door body, so that the water injection port is away from the door body and is spaced from the door body in the thickness direction, providing space for adding water to the water injection port, thereby improving the convenience of the water adding operation. The humidifying module can be added with water without being removed from the door body. Compared with removing the humidifying module to add water, rotating the humidifying module to add water is more labor-saving, further improving the convenience of the water adding operation.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present application, a rotating shaft is provided on one of the door body and the humidification module, and a rotating hole is formed on the other one; the rotating shaft is rotatably installed in the rotating hole.

[0013] The door body and the humidification module of the embodiment of the present application are rotatably connected through a rotating hole and a rotating shaft. The connection structure is simple and easy to process and assemble. There is no need to set up a complex rotating connection structure, which is conducive to improving the compactness of the connection between the humidification module and the door body.

[0014] In some embodiments of the present application, the axial direction of the rotating shaft is parallel to the width direction of the door body.

[0015] The embodiment of the present application sets a rotating shaft parallel to the width direction of the door body, so that the humidification module can rotate outward relative to the door body. The gravity of the humidification module can promote the rotation of the humidification module, making the rotation of the humidification module more labor-saving.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present application, the axial direction of the rotating shaft is parallel to the height direction of the door body.

[0017] The embodiment of the present application sets a rotating shaft parallel to the height direction of the door body, so that the humidification module can rotate in a horizontal plane. In particular, when the humidification module rotates back to be fixed to the door body, there is no need to overcome the gravity of the humidification module, and the rotation is more labor-saving. Moreover, the humidification module rotates in a horizontal plane similar to the door body, and since there is no need to overcome the gravity of the humidification module, the limit requirement for the water adding position is small.

[0018] In some embodiments of the present application, two door ribs are formed on one side of the door body facing the refrigerated compartment, and the two door ribs are spaced apart along the width direction of the door body;

[0019] When the rotating shaft is arranged on the door body and the rotating hole is formed on the humidification module, two rotating shafts are provided, the two rotating shafts are coaxially arranged and respectively located on the sides of the two door ribs facing each other; the axial direction of the rotating shaft is parallel to the width direction of the door body;

[0020] The humidification module is respectively formed with the rotating holes on both sides along the width direction of the door body, and the rotating holes are located at the bottom of the humidification module.

[0021] In the embodiment of the present application, by setting a rotating shaft on the door body and a rotating hole on the humidification module, the humidification module and the door body are connected in rotation, without opening a hole on the door body, which affects the thermal insulation performance of the door body. Moreover, the cooperation between the rotating hole and the rotating shaft is located at the bottom of the humidification module, and the water injection port is located on the top side of the humidification module, so that the humidification module rotates at a smaller angle, so that the water injection port and the door body can have a larger gap in the thickness direction of the door body, and the water injection port is tilted outward, making the water adding operation easier.

[0022] Moreover, the embodiment of the present application realizes the rotation connection between the humidification module and the door body by setting two rotating shafts, and the connection method is stable and reliable, and there is no need to set an overly long rotating shaft to increase the difficulty of assembly. Moreover, by setting the rotating holes on both sides of the humidification module along the width direction of the door body, the exposure of the rotating connection structure can be reduced, or even hidden, thereby improving the aesthetics of the humidification module installation.

[0023] In some embodiments of the present application, the humidification module is provided with ring bodies on both sides along the width direction of the door body, and the ring bodies form the rotating hole.

[0024] In the embodiment of the present application, a ring body is provided on the humidification module to form a rotary hole, and there is no need to directly open a hole on the humidification module, thereby reducing the impact on the airtightness of the liquid storage space in the humidification module. In addition, the embodiment of the present application uses a ring body structure to form a rotary hole, and there is no need to set a relatively thick wall area to open a rotary hole, which facilitates the molding of the shell of the humidification module.

[0025] In some embodiments of the present application, the humidification module has two first side surfaces that are opposite to each other and spaced apart along the width direction of the door body, and portions of the two first side surfaces are recessed toward each other to form a recessed portion;

[0026] The ring body is disposed in the recessed portion, and one end of the ring body that is away from the recessed portion does not protrude from the first side surface of the humidification module.

[0027] In some embodiments of the present application, a recessed portion is provided on the first side of the humidification module to accommodate and install the ring body, so that the ring body does not protrude from the first side. This is beneficial to improving the structural compactness of the humidification module, reducing the possibility of the ring body being exposed on the inner side of the door body, and facilitating hiding the rotating connection structure between the humidification module and the door body.

[0028] In some embodiments of the present application, a disassembly opening is provided on the ring body, and the disassembly opening is communicated with the rotating hole;

[0029] The rotating shaft is configured to be able to be removed from the rotating hole through the disassembly opening.

[0030] In some embodiments of the present application, a disassembly opening connected to the rotating hole is provided on the ring body, so that the rotating shaft can be removed from the rotating shaft through the disassembly opening, thereby realizing the disassembly and assembly of the humidification module, so that the humidification module can be disassembled for water addition, thereby improving the flexibility of the water addition method, and the humidification module can also be maintained and cleaned. The disassembly structure of the rotating shaft and the rotating hole in the embodiments of the present application is simple, highly operable, and easy to disassemble.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present application, when the water inlet is toward the top of the door body, the disassembly opening is located below the rotating shaft.

[0032] The embodiment of the present application is configured in this way, and the humidification module causes the ring body to press the rotating shaft under the action of its own gravity, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the cooperation between the rotating shaft and the rotating hole and reducing the possibility of the rotating shaft escaping from the rotating hole.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present application, the ring body comprises:

[0034] An arc-shaped ring portion, the arc-shaped ring portion is configured to form the rotating hole; the arc-shaped ring portion has an open end;

[0035] An inclined portion is connected to one end of the opening end of the arc-shaped ring portion; and one end of the inclined portion that is away from the arc-shaped ring portion is inclined toward the door body.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, the ring body is provided with an inclined portion to provide guidance for the rotating shaft to enter and exit the rotating hole, so that the disassembly operation of the rotating shaft relative to the rotating hole is more convenient, thereby improving the operability of disassembling the humidification module.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, the recessed portion has a side rib wall, and the side rib wall is opposite to the door body along the thickness direction of the door body;

[0038] The ring body is provided with a disassembly opening communicated with the rotating hole, so that the rotating shaft can be disengaged from the disassembly opening;

[0039] One end of the opening end of the ring body is connected to the side rib wall, and the inner peripheral surface of the ring body is tangentially connected to the side rib wall toward the inner side surface of the ring body.

[0040] The ring body of the embodiment of the present application not only uses the inclined portion to guide the shaft to enter and exit the rotating hole, but also uses the side rib wall to restrict the shaft from entering and exiting the rotating hole by setting the open end of the ring body to be connected to the side rib wall. Moreover, the connection between the ring body and the side rib wall is also conducive to improving the structural stability of the ring body. The side rib wall is located on the side of the outer surface of the ring body facing the humidification module, which can play the role of shielding at least part of the ring body.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, the humidification module has a back side facing the door body, and a bottom side connected to the bottom end of the back side;

[0042] An inclined surface is provided between the back side surface and the bottom side surface, and the inclined surface is configured to abut against a surface of the door body facing the refrigerating compartment;

[0043] The humidification module is configured to rotate relative to the door body until the inclined surface abuts against the door body.

[0044] The embodiment of the present application arranges an inclined surface between the back side surface and the bottom side surface of the humidification module, so that the protruding connection between the back side surface and the bottom side surface can be flattened at least partially to avoid the rotation angle of the humidification module being restricted by the door body; the inclined surface between the back side surface and the bottom side surface can also be used to abut against the door body to limit the rotation position of the humidification module, thereby ensuring the stability of the humidification module when it is in the water adding position and avoiding accidental rotation of the humidification module when adding water.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, at least one door shelf is provided on a side of the door body facing the refrigerated compartment;

[0046] The humidification module and the door shelf are staggered with each other along the height direction of the door body;

[0047] When the door shelf is provided above the humidification module, the humidification module is configured to rotate relative to the door body so that the projection of the water injection port on the plane where the bottom side plate of the door shelf is located is located outside the bottom side plate.

[0048] The embodiment of the present application is configured such that when the humidification module is in the second position, the water inlet is rotated to the outside of the door shelf, thereby increasing the operating space for adding water, thereby improving the convenience of adding water and reducing the possibility of interference between the water adding container and the door shelf.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, the humidification module includes:

[0050] A humidifying body, configured to humidify the refrigerating compartment; the humidifying body is rotatably mounted on the door body;

[0051] A lock structure, movably connected to the humidifying body; the lock structure has a locking position and an unlocking position, and is configured to be movable relative to the humidifying body between the locking position and the unlocking position;

[0052] Wherein, the locking position is the position when the locking structure is fixedly connected to the matching structure provided on the door body; when the locking structure is in the locking position, the humidification module is fixed relative to the door body;

[0053] The unlocking position is the position when the locking structure is disengaged from the matching structure; when the locking structure is in the unlocking position, the humidification module can rotate relative to the door body.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present application, a locking structure is provided on the humidifier main body and a matching structure is provided on the door body. Through the cooperation between the locking structure and the matching structure, the humidifier main body is fixed relative to the door body and cannot rotate, which is beneficial to ensure the stability of the humidification module relative to the door body; when the locking structure moves to the unlocking position, the locking structure disengages from the matching structure, so that the humidifier main body can rotate relative to the door body, and then the humidifier main body can rotate relative to the door body to the water adding position, so that water is added to the liquid storage chamber in the humidifier main body.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, a receiving portion is formed on the humidifying body;

[0056] The locking structure comprises:

[0057] An operating member, part of which is installed in the accommodating portion, and the other part is exposed on a side of the humidifying body away from the door body; the operating member is configured to move relative to the humidifying body;

[0058] A locking member is located in the accommodating portion and is fixedly connected to the operating member; the operating member drives the locking member to move between the locking position and the unlocking position;

[0059] Wherein, the locking member is connected to the matching structure in the locking position; and the locking member is disengaged from the matching structure in the unlocking position.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, the lock structure is provided with an operating member so that part of the operating member is exposed on the side of the humidifier body away from the door body, which is convenient for the user to operate. The lock structure is provided with a locking member, which is fixedly connected to the operating member, and moves between the locking and unlocking positions under the drive of the operating member to achieve the locking and unlocking of the humidifier module.

[0061] The embodiment of the present application realizes locking and unlocking of the humidification module by setting a locking structure of a mechanical structure, which has a simple structure and is easy to operate; compared with electric unlocking and locking, the locking structure of the embodiment of the present application has a lower cost.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, a locking opening is provided on the top surface of the humidifying body, and the locking opening is communicated with the accommodating portion;

[0063] The door body structure forms a top side wall opposite to the top surface of the humidifier body, and a matching groove is formed on the top side wall, and the matching groove opens toward the top surface of the humidifier body; wherein the matching groove forms the matching structure;

[0064] In the locking position, the locking member extends into the matching groove through the locking opening;

[0065] In the unlocked position, the locking member is returned into the receiving portion through the locking opening.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, a mating groove is provided on the door body, and the locking piece extends into the mating groove through the locking opening, thereby limiting the position of the humidifier body along the thickness direction of the door body, thereby fixing the humidifier body on the door body; the locking piece returns to the accommodating portion through the locking opening, and the limit between the humidifier body and the door body is released, so that the humidifier body can rotate relative to the door body.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, the humidifying body is provided with a matching opening on the back side facing the door body, and the matching opening is communicated with the accommodating portion;

[0068] The matching structure includes: a limiting member fixed on the door body; the limiting member is configured to match with the locking member through the matching opening;

[0069] One of the limiting member and the locking member is provided with a limiting protrusion, and the other is provided with a limiting groove;

[0070] In the locking position, the limiting protrusion is inserted into the limiting groove;

[0071] In the unlocking position, the limiting protrusion escapes from the limiting groove.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, the limiting member cooperates with the locking member through the matching opening, and the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove cooperate to achieve fixation of the humidification module and the door body, and stable locking.

[0073] Furthermore, the matching structure of the door body and the locking structure are arranged along the thickness direction of the door body, which is suitable for refrigerators with thin doors.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, a detection switch and a trigger are also provided on the door body;

[0075] When the locking member is connected to the matching structure, the locking member abuts against the trigger member to trigger the detection switch to send a first signal;

[0076] When the door body closes the refrigerating compartment and the locking member is not connected to the matching structure, the detection switch is configured to send a second signal.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present application, a detection switch and a trigger member are arranged on the door body, and when the locking structure locks the humidification main body and the door body, the locking member triggers the detection switch through the trigger member to send a first signal; and when the door body is closed and the locking structure does not lock the humidification main body and the door body, the detection switch sends a second signal to prompt the user that the humidification module is not locked, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the processing module.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, the humidification module is structured as follows:

[0079] A liquid storage chamber, used for storing humidification liquid;

[0080] A detection chamber, wherein the detection chamber and the liquid storage chamber are arranged in parallel along the width direction of the door body; the detection chamber is connected to the bottom end of the liquid storage chamber;

[0081] An electrical cavity, used for installing electrical components of the humidification module; the electrical cavity is not connected to the detection cavity;

[0082] The humidification module is provided with a water shortage detection mechanism, which is configured to send a water shortage signal when the liquid level of the liquid storage chamber is lower than the set liquid level; the water shortage detection mechanism includes:

[0083] A buoyancy member is located in the detection cavity and floats along the height direction of the detection cavity along with the liquid level in the detection cavity;

[0084] A water shortage detection switch is installed in the electrical cavity;

[0085] Wherein, the buoyancy member is configured to trigger the water shortage detection switch to send the water shortage signal when the liquid level in the detection chamber is lower than the set liquid level.

[0086] In the embodiment of the present application, a water shortage detection mechanism is configured in the humidification module to monitor the liquid level state in the liquid storage chamber so as to add water to the liquid storage chamber in time, reduce the possibility of dry burning of the atomizer, and improve the safety of the humidification module. In addition, a detection chamber connected to the liquid storage chamber is formed in the humidification module, and the water level of the liquid storage chamber is determined by the buoyancy member in the detection chamber. The detection chamber can limit the buoyancy member, which is conducive to improving the stability of the buoyancy member, thereby improving the accuracy of water shortage detection and reducing false alarms of water shortage caused by the shaking of the liquid in the liquid storage chamber.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present application, a first electrical connector is provided on the humidification module, and the first electrical connector is located at the top of the humidification module;

[0088] The door body is provided with a second electrical connector, and the second electrical connector is used to connect the power supply of the refrigerator;

[0089] When the humidification module is fixed on the door body, the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector are electrically connected to supply power to the humidification module;

[0090] When the humidification module rotates relative to the door body so that a preset interval exists between the water injection port and the door body along the thickness direction of the door body, the first electrical connector is disconnected from the second electrical connector.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present application, a first electrical connector is provided on the top of the humidification module, and the first electrical connector is electrically connected to a second electrical connector provided on the door body to supply power to the humidification module; furthermore, the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector are detachably connected, so that when the humidification module is rotated relative to the door body to add water, the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector are disconnected, thereby avoiding electric shock caused by electricity in the humidification module when adding water, which is beneficial to improving the safety of the humidification module.

[0092] The first electrical connector is located at the top of the humidification module. By rotating a small angle at the bottom of the humidification module, the first electrical connector can be disconnected from the second electrical connector, which helps to ensure the timeliness and reliability of power off of the humidification module.

[0093] In a second aspect, some embodiments of the present application further provide a refrigerator, comprising:

[0094] A box body, which is constructed to form a refrigerated compartment;

[0095] A door body, rotatably connected to the box body to open or close the refrigerated compartment;

[0096] A humidifying module is configured to humidify the refrigerated compartment; the humidifying module is located on a side of the door body facing the refrigerated compartment; a water injection port is provided on the top side of the humidifying module;

[0097] The humidification module is rotatably connected to the door body, and the humidification module is configured to be rotatable relative to the door body between a first position and a second position;

[0098] Wherein, the first position is the position where the water injection port of the humidification module faces the top of the door body; the second position is the position where the water injection port of the humidification module and the door body have a preset interval along the thickness direction of the door body.

[0099] The refrigerator of the embodiment of the present application humidifies the unrefrigerated compartment by providing a humidifying module to increase the humidity of the refrigerated compartment, thereby helping to improve the preservation quality of the refrigerated compartment. The humidifying module is installed on the door body, which is not only convenient for adding water, but also does not occupy the storage space of the refrigerated compartment. In addition, the humidifying module rotates between a first position and a second position relative to the door body. When the humidifying module rotates to the second position, there is a gap between the water injection port and the door body along the thickness direction, which provides space for adding water to the water injection port and improves the convenience of the water adding operation. The humidifying module can be added with water without being removed from the door body. Compared with disassembling to add water, rotating the humidifying module is more labor-saving, further improving the convenience of the water adding operation.

[0100] Moreover, when the humidifying module adds water in the second position, the water adding position is fixed, which is convenient for user operation, can reduce the possibility of accidental rotation of the humidifying module during water adding, ensure the stability and reliability of the humidifying module when adding water, and reduce the risk of splashing when adding water.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present application, the humidification module is detachably connected to the door body.

[0102] The humidification module of the embodiment of the present application is detachably connected to the door body, so that the humidification module can be removed from the door body to add water, thereby improving the flexibility of the water adding method; moreover, the detachable connection of the humidification module also facilitates the cleaning and maintenance of the humidification module.

[0103] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides a refrigerator, comprising:

[0108] The humidification module is rotatably connected to the door body; the humidification module is configured to be rotatable relative to the door body so that the projection of the door body in the first plane does not cover the water injection port;

[0109] Wherein, the first plane is a plane determined by the width direction and thickness direction of the door body.

[0110] The refrigerator of the embodiment of the present application humidifies the cold storage compartment by providing a humidifying module to increase the humidity of the cold storage compartment, thereby helping to improve the preservation quality of the cold storage compartment. The humidifying module is installed on the door body, which is not only convenient for adding water, but also does not occupy the storage space of the cold storage compartment. When the humidifying module is not adding water, the projection of the door body in the first plane covers at least part of the water injection port, so that at least part of the humidifying module is hidden in the door body, which helps to reduce the volume of the humidifying module protruding from the door body. The humidifying module rotates relative to the door body, so that the projection of the door body in the first plane does not cover the water injection port, and the water injection port is exposed, thereby improving the convenience of adding water. The humidifying module of the embodiment of the present application can be added with water without being removed from the door body. Compared with removing the humidifying module to add water, rotating the humidifying module to add water is more labor-saving, further improving the convenience of the water adding operation.

[0111] In a fourth aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a refrigerator, comprising:

[0112] A box body, which is constructed to form a refrigerated compartment;

[0113] A door body is rotatably connected to the box body to open or close the refrigerating compartment; at least one door shelf is provided on a side of the door body facing the refrigerating compartment; a mounting groove is formed on a side of the door body facing the refrigerating compartment;

[0114] a functional module, the functional module being rotatably mounted in the mounting groove, and the functional module being configured to be detachable relative to the door body after being rotated relative to the door body;

[0115] A door shelf is installed on a side of the door body facing the refrigerating compartment, and a projection of the door shelf along a height direction of the door body covers the functional module.

[0116] The refrigerator of the embodiment of the present application, by installing the functional module in the installation groove on the door body, does not occupy the space of the refrigeration compartment while making the refrigerator have the function of the functional module; the functional module is embedded in the installation groove and covered by the projection of the door shelf along the height direction of the door body, so as to realize the hidden installation of the functional module and reduce the impact on the storage space of the door shelf. The functional module of the embodiment of the present application is rotatably connected to the door body and is constructed to be detachable relative to the door body after rotating relative to the door body, so that the functional module can at least partially appear from the installation groove after rotating relative to the door body, thereby making at least part of the functional module away from the door body, which can expand the detachable operation space of the functional module; the rotation operation of the functional module saves time and effort, which is conducive to improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the functional module.

[0117] When the functional module is a humidification module, the humidification module can be disassembled after being rotated relative to the door body, which can improve the convenience of disassembling the humidification module, thereby making the disassembly and watering operations of the humidification module simple and convenient.

[0173] In order to make the purpose, implementation mode and advantages of the present application clearer, the exemplary implementation mode of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the exemplary embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described exemplary embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0174] It should be noted that the brief description of terms in this application is only for the convenience of understanding the embodiments described below, and is not intended to limit the embodiments of this application. Unless otherwise specified, these terms should be understood according to their common and usual meanings.

[0175] In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover but not exclude inclusion, for example, a product or device comprising a list of components is not necessarily limited to those components expressly listed but may include other components not expressly listed or inherent to such products or devices.

[0176] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0177] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0178] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0179] In the related art, a common way to replenish water in a humidification module is to remove the humidification module from its installation position and replenish water. For example, the humidification module is pulled out from its installation position and replenished with water; after the replenishment is completed, it is pushed back to the installation position. However, the humidification module after replenishment has a large mass, and it is not easy to align the installation position, and the installation convenience is poor.

[0180] In some products, the humidification module is equipped with a water storage bottle, and the water in the water storage bottle is passed into the humidification module by a water pump, etc., without the need to add water to the humidification module separately. However, the water storage bottle has a large capacity, which not only takes up a lot of space for installation; directly adding water to the water storage bottle also requires insufficient operating space and is inconvenient.

[0181] There are also some refrigerator products whose humidification modules can be directly filled with water without disassembly. However, the storage around the humidification module needs to be removed. Moreover, in order to ensure the airtightness of the humidification module, the water inlet is usually set relatively small. It is difficult to align the water inlet when adding water to the humidification module directly, and water is easy to splash out.

[0182] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a humidification module which is rotatably mounted on a door body. When water replenishment is needed, the humidification module is rotated relative to the door body so that the water injection port of the humidification module is exposed, thereby improving the convenience of water replenishment.

[0183] Furthermore, the humidification module is detachably connected to the door body, so that the humidification module can be removed from the door body, which is convenient for cleaning the humidification module and also for adding water to the humidification module.

[0184] Of course, a locking structure is provided between the humidification module and the door body. After the water is added, the humidification module is fixed to the door body to ensure the stability and reliability of the humidification module.

[0185] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0186] First of all, it should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, when the door of the refrigerator is in a closed state, the width direction of the door is consistent with the width direction of the refrigerator, the thickness direction of the door is consistent with the depth direction of the refrigerator, and the height direction of the door is consistent with the height direction of the refrigerator. Figure 1 In the figure, the width direction of the refrigerator corresponds to the X-axis direction in the figure, the depth direction of the refrigerator corresponds to the Y-axis direction in the figure, and the height direction of the refrigerator corresponds to the Z-axis direction in the figure.

[0187] Combination Figure 1 Some embodiments of the present application provide a refrigerator, which includes a box body 100. The box body 100 can be constructed to form a storage compartment for storing items.

[0188] Multiple storage compartments may be provided to expand the storage space. According to different storage temperatures of the storage compartments, the storage compartments may include at least one refrigerating compartment 101 and at least one freezing compartment 102. The internal temperature of the refrigerating compartment 101 may be maintained between about 0°C and 5°C to store items in a refrigerated mode; the internal temperature of the freezing compartment 102 may be maintained between about -30°C and 0°C to store items in a frozen mode.

[0189] In some possible implementations, at least one storage compartment may also be configured as a vacuum chamber or a temperature-changing chamber, etc., which will not be described in detail in the embodiments of the present application.

[0190] Exemplarily, two storage compartments may be provided, and the two storage compartments may be stacked in a vertical direction; the two storage compartments may be arranged side by side in a horizontal direction. One of them may be provided as a refrigerating compartment 101 , and the other may be provided as a freezing compartment 102 .

[0191] In some embodiments, the box body 100 may include a box liner and a box shell. The box liner may be configured with a storage compartment. The box shell may be connected to the outside of the box liner to form the appearance of a refrigerator.

[0192] The box body 100 may further include a box heat insulation layer, which may be disposed between the box liner and the box shell. The box heat insulation layer can insulate the storage compartment to minimize heat exchange between the storage compartment and the outside of the refrigerator, which is beneficial to ensuring the refrigeration effect of the refrigerator.

[0193] The refrigerator of the embodiment of the present application may further include a refrigeration system for providing coldness to the storage compartment. Exemplarily, the refrigeration system may be disposed in the cabinet 100. The refrigeration system may include a compressor, a condenser, a throttle, and an evaporator connected in a cycle.

[0194] When the refrigeration system is running, the compressor compresses the refrigerant vapor to generate high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant vapor, and transports the refrigerant vapor to the condenser. The condenser liquefies the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant vapor to generate high-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant liquid, and transports it to the throttle. The throttle reduces the pressure of the refrigerant liquid, converting the high-pressure and low-temperature refrigerant liquid into low-pressure and low-temperature refrigerant liquid, and transports it to the evaporator. After receiving the low-pressure and low-temperature refrigerant liquid, the evaporator makes it boil under isobaric conditions, absorbs heat and vaporizes to form refrigerant vapor, thereby reducing the temperature in the storage room.

[0195] Continue to refer to Figure 1 The refrigerator of the embodiment of the present application may further include a door body 200, which is rotatably connected to the cabinet 100 to open or close the storage compartment.

[0196] Each storage compartment may be provided with one door body 200; or, each storage compartment may be provided with two door bodies 200, and the two door bodies 200 may rotate in opposite directions to open or close the storage compartment.

[0197] Of course, in some possible implementations, a drawer is provided inside the storage room, and the outer end of the drawer is structured to form a door body.

[0198] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the door body 200 may include a door liner 220. When the door body 200 closes the refrigerating compartment 101, the door liner 220 faces the refrigerating compartment 101.

[0199] The door body 200 may include a door outer shell 240 ; the door outer shell 240 may be connected to the outer side of the door liner 220 to form the appearance of the door body 200 . The door outer shell 240 may be rotatably connected to the cabinet 100 , so that the door body 200 opens or closes the refrigerating compartment 101 .

[0200] The door body 200 may further include a door heat insulation member, which may be disposed in the space between the door liner 220 and the door outer shell 240. The door heat insulation member can insulate the storage compartment to minimize heat exchange between the storage compartment and the outside of the refrigerator, which is beneficial to ensuring the refrigeration effect of the refrigerator. The door heat insulation member may be a foam layer.

[0201] In some embodiments, a door shelf 210 is provided on one side of the door body 200 facing the refrigerating compartment 101 to increase the storage space of the refrigerator. The door shelf 210 has a storage cavity 211 opening upward to store items.

[0202] like Figure 1 As shown, the door shelf 210 includes a first side plate 212 and a second side plate 213, which are arranged at intervals along the thickness direction of the door body 200. The first side plate 212 is close to the door body 200, and the second side plate 213 is close to the refrigerating compartment 101.

[0203] The door shelf 210 may further include two end side plates 214, which are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the door body 200. The two end side plates 214 are connected to both ends of the first side plate 212 and the second side plate 213, respectively.

[0204] The door shelf 210 may further include a bottom side plate fixed to the bottom ends of the first side plate 212, the second side plate 213 and the two end side plates 214. The bottom side plate, the first side plate 212, the second side plate 213 and the two end side plates 214 together enclose a storage cavity 211.

[0205] In some implementations, two door ribs 221 are formed on the side of the door liner 220 facing the refrigerated compartment 101. The two door ribs 221 extend along the height direction of the door body 200 (corresponding to Figure 1 The two door ribs 221 extend in the middle Z-axis direction, and the two door ribs 221 are opposite to each other and spaced apart along the width direction of the door body 200.

[0206] The door shelf 210 is mounted on two door ribs 221. For example, the two door ribs 221 are configured to form hanging ears on one side relative to each other, and the two end side plates 214 of the door shelf 210 are configured to form hanging grooves, which are engaged with the hanging ears to fix the door shelf 210 on the door liner 220.

[0207] Continue to refer to Figure 1 In some possible implementations, a plurality of door racks 210 are provided, and the plurality of door racks 210 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the door body 200 .

[0208] Exemplarily, three door racks 210 are provided, and the three door racks 210 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the door body 200 .

[0209] The intervals between two adjacent door shelves 210 may be different to form different storage heights, thereby facilitating the storage of items of different heights.

[0210] In some implementations, the number of hanging ears provided on the door liner rib 221 is greater than the number of the door shelves 210, so as to adjust the position of the door shelves 210 in the height direction of the door liner 220 according to actual needs, thereby improving the flexibility of storing items.

[0211] Continue to refer to Figure 1In some embodiments, at least one drawer 110 is provided in the refrigerating compartment 101, and the drawer 110 is located at the bottom of the refrigerating compartment 101. The drawer 110 is configured to be pullable along the depth direction of the refrigerating compartment 101, so as to facilitate the taking and placing of items in the drawer 110.

[0212] Among them, one drawer 110 may be provided, and the drawer 110 is located at the bottom of the refrigerating chamber 101 , so that the user can take and put items into the drawer 110 .

[0213] A plurality of drawers 110 may be provided, for example, two drawers 110 may be arranged side by side along the width direction of the refrigerator. Figure 1 , the two drawers 110 can be stacked along the height direction of the refrigerator.

[0214] In some embodiments, along the height direction of the refrigerator, at least one drawer 110 is located below all the door shelves 210 on the door body 200. It can be understood that at least one drawer 110 is located below the lowest door shelf 210 on the door body 200.

[0215] When a plurality of drawers 110 are stacked and arranged in a height direction of the refrigerator, the bottom drawer 110 may be located below all the door shelves 210 on the door body 200, such as Figure 1 shown.

[0216] In this way, there is a certain distance between the door shelf 210 at the bottom of the door body 200 and the door seal at the bottom of the door body 200 to leave space for the drawer 110 to be pulled out.

[0217] Generally, the door shelf 210 has a certain thickness along the thickness direction of the door body 200. In some refrigerator products, such as built-in refrigerators, the opening and closing angle of the door body 200 is affected. For example, the maximum opening and closing angle of the door body 200 is 90°. When the drawer 110 has a large pulling stroke, the door shelf 210 is easy to collide with the drawer 110, affecting the pulling of the drawer 110.

[0218] For this reason, Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, all the door shelves 210 of the door body 200 are located above the bottom drawer 110 in the refrigerating compartment 101 , and serve as a withdrawal and withdrawal avoidance space for the drawer 110 .

[0219] In the related art, this part of space is not utilized, resulting in a waste of space in the refrigerator. Therefore, the researchers of this application arrange a functional module in the space, and the functional module may be a humidification module 300 .

[0220] In some embodiments of the present application, the refrigerator may further include a humidifying module 300, which is configured to humidify the refrigerating compartment 101 to increase the humidity in the refrigerating compartment 101, thereby facilitating improving the storage quality of items in the refrigerating compartment 101, especially some fresh items.

[0221] like Figure 1 As shown, the humidification module 300 is installed on the side of the door body 200 facing the refrigerating compartment 101 and is located below all the door shelves 210 on the door body 200. That is, the humidification module 300 is located below the lowest door shelf 210.

[0222] In some embodiments of the present application, the refrigerator is equipped with a humidification module 300 to humidify the refrigerating compartment 101 to increase the humidity in the refrigerating compartment 101, which is beneficial to improving the preservation quality of the refrigerator. The humidification module 300 is installed on the door body 200 and does not occupy the storage space of the refrigerating compartment 101. The humidification module 300 is located below all door shelves 210 on the door body 200, using the space at the bottom of the lowest door shelf 210, and does not occupy the storage space of the door shelf 210.

[0223] When the door 200 is closed, the humidification module 300 is opposite to at least one of the drawers 110 along the depth direction of the refrigerator. The humidification module 300 is configured not to interfere with the drawer 110 when the door 200 is opened and the drawer 110 is pulled out, that is, the setting of the humidification module 300 does not affect the drawing and pulling of the drawer 110.

[0224] For example, the size of the humidification module 300 along the thickness direction of the door body 200 may be limited so that the humidification module 300 does not interfere with the drawer 110 when the door body 200 is opened and the drawer 110 is pulled out.

[0225] For another example, a recessed installation portion may be formed in the door liner 220 so that the humidification module 300 is embedded and installed in the door body 200, so that the humidification module 300 does not interfere with the drawer 110 when the door body 200 is opened and the drawer 110 is pulled out.

[0226] It is understandable that when the drawer 110 is pulled out, there is a gap between the humidification module 300 and the drawer 110 along the width direction of the refrigerator so that the humidification module 300 and the drawer 110 do not interfere with each other.

[0227] Of course, in some embodiments, the humidification module 300 can also be arranged in the area of ​​the door liner 220 away from the rotating connection side, and when the drawer 110 is at the maximum withdrawal position, the drawer 110 and the humidification module 300 are spaced apart in the depth direction of the refrigerator, so that there is no interference between the humidification module 300 and the drawer 110. In this case, the volume of the humidification module 300 is limited, so that the liquid storage space of the humidification module 300 is limited.

[0228] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 and Figure 3 The humidification module 300 extends to two door ribs 221 at both ends along the width direction of the door body 200 .

[0229] Such an arrangement enables the humidification module 300 to have a larger size along the width direction of the door body 200, which is beneficial to expanding the liquid storage space of the humidification module 300, reducing the frequency of water addition, and improving the convenience of use.

[0230] In some embodiments of the present application, the humidification module 300 and the door shelf 210 above it have a first interval along the height direction of the door body 200. Exemplarily, the first interval may be greater than 40 mm. In this way, when a water injection port is provided on the top wall of the humidification module 300, it is beneficial to improve the convenience of adding water.

[0231] In some embodiments of the present application, there is a second interval between the humidification module 300 and the door seal strip below it along the height direction of the door body 200. This arrangement can prevent the door body 200 from sinking and causing the sealing failure of the door body 200. The second interval can be greater than 3mm.

[0232] In some embodiments of the present application, the dimension of the humidification module 300 along the height direction of the door body 200 is greater than the dimension of the humidification module 300 along the thickness direction of the door body 200. In this way, the humidification module 300 has a larger dimension along the height direction of the door body 200, which is convenient for increasing the liquid storage space of the humidification module 300 and helping to reduce the frequency of water addition.

[0233] In some embodiments of the present application, the humidification module 300 is flat, and the humidification module 300 is arranged parallel to the door body 200. In this way, the liquid storage space of the humidification module 300 can be increased by setting a larger area of ​​the humidification module 300; it can also avoid setting the humidification module 300 too large in the thickness direction of the door body 200, which affects the movement of other components in the refrigerator, such as the pulling and pulling of the drawer.

[0234] In some possible implementations, the humidification module 300 is roughly in the shape of a flat rectangular parallelepiped. The width direction of the humidification module 300 is parallel to the width direction of the door body 200, the height direction of the humidification module 300 is parallel to the height direction of the door body 200, and the thickness direction of the humidification module 300 is parallel to the thickness direction of the door body 200. The height and width of the humidification module 300 are both greater than its thickness. In this way, the appearance of the humidification module 300 is regular, which is convenient for processing and installation.

[0235] Continue to refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the door liner 220 is recessed away from the refrigerating compartment to form a mounting groove 230 .

[0236] The mounting groove 230 and the door shelf 210 are staggered on the side of the door liner 220 facing the refrigerating compartment, that is, the mounting groove 230 is arranged in the area of ​​the door liner 220 where the door shelf 210 is not installed. For example, the mounting groove 230 is arranged below all the door shelves 210.

[0237] The mounting groove 230 opens toward the interior of the cold storage room. The mounting groove 230 has two groove side walls 232, which are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the door body 200; the mounting groove 230 also has a top groove wall, which is connected to the top ends of the two groove side walls 232; the mounting groove 230 also has a bottom groove wall, which is connected to the bottom ends of the two groove side walls 232; the mounting groove 230 also has a groove bottom wall 231, which is respectively connected to the two groove side walls 232, the bottom groove wall and the top groove wall, and is located at one end of the two groove side walls 232 facing the outside of the door body 200. In this way, the groove bottom wall 231, the two groove side walls 232, the bottom groove wall and the top groove wall together enclose the mounting groove 230 opening toward the interior of the cold storage room.

[0238] The groove side wall 232 is flush with the inner side surface of the door liner rib 221, so that the door liner 220 has a regular structure and is easy to process and demould.

[0239] The humidification module 300 is installed in the installation groove 230, and the size of the humidification module 300 protruding from the inner surface 222 of the door liner 220 is reduced to prevent the installation of the humidification module 300 from affecting the pulling out of the bottom drawer in the refrigerating compartment. The inner surface 222 of the door liner 220 is the side of the door liner 220 facing the refrigerating compartment.

[0240] In some embodiments, the humidification module 300 can be matched and installed in the installation groove 230, so that the shape of the inner surface 222 of the humidification module 300 on the door liner 220 matches the shape of the installation groove 230. For example, the inner surface 222 of the humidification module 300 on the door liner 220 is rectangular, and the installation groove 230 is a rectangular installation groove 230. Such a setting can not only provide installation space for the humidification module 300, but also avoid the installation groove 230 being too large to affect the thermal insulation performance of the door body 200.

[0241] In some embodiments of the present application, the mounting groove 230 is arranged along the width direction of the door body 200 (corresponding to Figure 2 The two ends (in the X-axis direction) of the humidification module 300 extend to the two door ribs 221 respectively to provide sufficient installation space for the humidification module 300.

[0242] In some embodiments of the present application, the door liner 220 is recessed toward the door outer shell 240 to form the installation groove 230, so that the interval between the installation groove 230 portion of the door liner 220 and the door outer shell 240 is reduced, thereby reducing the thickness of the door insulation in this area, which is not conducive to the heat preservation and heat insulation of the door body 200.

[0243] To this end, in some embodiments of the present application, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 The door body 200 further includes a heat insulation board 241, which is disposed between the door heat insulation member and the door liner 220. The heat insulation board 241 is opposite to the mounting groove along the thickness direction of the door body to improve the heat insulation and thermal insulation performance of the mounting groove 230 portion.

[0244] The groove wall of the installation groove 230 includes the above-mentioned groove bottom wall 231 , two groove side walls 232 , a bottom groove wall and a top groove wall.

[0245] In some embodiments, the heat insulation board 241 is disposed between the door heat insulation member and the bottom wall 231 of the installation groove 230 , so that the structure of the heat insulation board 241 is simple and easy to install.

[0246] The thermal conductivity of the insulation board 241 is smaller than that of the door insulation component, so that the thermal resistance of the insulation board 241 is greater than the thermal resistance of the door insulation component, thereby improving the thermal insulation performance at the installation groove 230, thereby ensuring the overall thermal insulation performance of the door body 200, and thereby ensuring the thermal insulation performance of the refrigerator.

[0247] For example, the heat insulation panel 241 may be a vacuum insulation panel (Vacuum Insulation Panel, VIP for short). The door heat insulation member may be a foam layer, such as a polyurethane foam layer.

[0248] Continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, the door liner 220 is provided with a planar portion 223, part of the planar portion 223 is located at the bottom side of the mounting groove 230, and the planar portion is located at a side of the mounting groove 230 close to the rotational connection of the door body 200.

[0249] Exemplarily, the plane portion 223 is substantially L-shaped. The portion of the plane portion 223 extending in the height direction of the door body 200 is located on the side of the mounting groove 230 close to the rotation connection of the door body 200; the portion of the plane portion 223 extending in the width direction of the door body 200 is located on the bottom side of the mounting groove 230.

[0250] The portion of the plane portion 223 extending along the height direction of the door body 200 is located below the door rib 221 close to the rotationally connected side of the door body 200, and the plane portion 223 of this portion is opposite to the lowest drawer in the refrigerator compartment along the depth direction of the refrigerator.

[0251] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the thickness direction of the door body 200, the plane portion 223 does not protrude from the door rib 221, so as to avoid the drawing of the lower drawer in the cold storage compartment. In this way, the plane portion 223 does not interfere with the lower drawer when the lower drawer is drawn.

[0252] The plane portion 223 is connected to the groove wall of the installation groove 230. Specifically, the plane portion 223 is arranged along the height direction of the door body (corresponding to Figure 3 The portion extending in the Z-axis direction is connected to the groove side wall 232, and the plane portion 223 extends in the door body width direction (corresponding to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The portion extending in the X-axis direction is connected to the bottom groove wall.

[0253] In some embodiments, the humidification module 300 has an outer surface 311 facing away from the door liner 220. Figure 4 In the Y-axis direction), the outer surface 311 does not protrude from the plane portion 223. In this way, the humidification module 300 is embedded in the installation groove to prevent the humidification module 300 from affecting the pulling of the lowermost drawer.

[0254] When the door is closed, the outer surface 311 of the humidification module 300 faces the refrigerating compartment.

[0255] The outer surface 311 of the humidification module 300 may be flush with the plane portion 223 , so that the humidification module 300 can be accommodated and the installation groove can be prevented from being too deep, which would affect the thermal insulation performance of the door body 200 .

[0256] The outer surface 311 of the humidification module 300 may be lower than the plane portion 223, that is, there is a gap between the outer surface 311 of the humidification module 300 and the plane portion 223 along the thickness direction of the door body. In this way, the installation error and processing error of the humidification module 300 can be accommodated, ensuring that the outer surface 311 of the humidification module 300 does not affect the pulling out of the bottom drawer.

[0257] In some embodiments of the present application, along the thickness direction of the door body, the plane portion 223 may protrude from the inner surface 222 of the door liner 220. In this way, it is convenient for the plane portion 223 to contact with the box body, and it is convenient to set a door seal structure around the plane portion 223 to improve the cold leakage problem of the door body.

[0258] Combination Figure 5 In some embodiments, the lowest door shelf 210 on the door body 200 may be opposite to the lowest drawer 110 in the refrigerating compartment 101 along the depth direction of the refrigerator. The angle of the door body 200 when opened may be greater than 90° so that the lowest door shelf 210 does not affect the pulling out of the drawer 110.

[0259] In some embodiments, the humidification module 300 on the door body 200 and the door shelf 210 are staggered along the height direction of the door body 200 to prevent the setting of the humidification module 300 from affecting the installation of the door shelf 210 .

[0260] For example, the humidification module 300 may be located above the door shelf 210. For example, the humidification module 300 may be arranged at Figure 5 At this time, the humidification module 300 has a certain distance from the bottom of the refrigerating chamber 101 , and the humidified air generated by the humidification module 300 can naturally sink, which is beneficial to improve the consistency of the humidity of the entire refrigerating chamber 101 .

[0261] For example, the humidification module 300 may also be located below the door shelf 210, such as Figure 1 As shown, the humidification module 300 does not occupy the storage height space above the door shelf 210 .

[0262] In this embodiment, a mounting groove is formed on one side of the door body 200 facing the refrigerating compartment 101, and the humidification module 300 is installed in the mounting groove. In this way, the protruding size of the humidification module 300 along the thickness direction of the door body can be reduced, and the occupation of the storage space of the door shelf 210 by the humidification module 300 can be reduced.

[0263] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 and Figure 7 When a door shelf 210 is provided below the humidification module 300, the thickness direction of the door body (corresponding to Figure 6 In the Y-axis direction), the outer surface 311 of the humidification module 300 is closer to the outer side of the door body relative to the inner side of the bottom side plate 215 of the door shelf 210.

[0264] Thus, along the thickness direction of the door body, from the outer side of the door body to the inner side of the door body, the outer surface 311 of the humidification module 300 does not protrude from the inner side of the bottom side plate 215. When placing items on the bottom side plate 215 of the door shelf 210, even if the items are placed close to the inner side of the bottom side plate 215, the humidification module 300 does not affect the placement of the items, thereby reducing or even avoiding occupying the storage space of the door shelf 210.

[0265] In some embodiments, along the thickness direction of the door body, the outer surface 311 of the humidification module 300 does not protrude from the inner surface 222 of the door liner 220 , so that even if the humidification module 300 is located above the door shelf 210 , it does not affect the storage space of the door shelf 210 .

[0266] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 8 The humidification module 300 is detachably mounted on the door body 200. In this way, the humidification module 300 can be removed from the door body 200 for watering, cleaning, etc., thereby improving the convenience of using the humidification module 300.

[0267] In other embodiments of the present application, the humidification module 300 can add water on the door body 200 to avoid disassembly of the humidification module 300, which can reduce the difficulty of the water adding operation.

[0268] In some other embodiments of the present application, the humidification module 300 can be added with water on the door body 200, and can also be removed from the door body 200 to add water. The water adding method is more flexible, and the humidification module 300 is easy to clean and maintain.

[0269] In some embodiments, the humidification module 300 can be rotatably mounted on the door body 200 , and the humidification module 300 can be rotated relative to the door body 200 so that the water injection port 304 of the humidification module 300 is exposed, which is convenient for the user to add water.

[0270] Usually, such as Figure 8 As shown, the water injection port 304 is disposed on the top side of the humidification module 300, which is conducive to providing a larger liquid storage space.

[0271] When the door 200 closes the refrigerating chamber 101, the humidifying module 300 is fixed relative to the door 200, and the humidifying module 300 is not adding water. The water injection port 304 can be toward the top of the door 200, which can hide the water injection port 304 on the one hand and reduce the possibility of water overflow from the water injection port 304 on the other hand.

[0272] In some embodiments of the present application, when the door body 200 closes the refrigerated compartment 101 and the door shelf 210 is arranged above the humidification module 300, the projection of the door shelf 210 on the first plane covers the water injection port 304. The first plane is a plane determined by the width direction and the thickness direction of the door body 200. In this way, along the height direction of the door body 200, when looking from the top end of the door body 200 to the bottom end, the door shelf 210 blocks the water injection port 304.

[0273] In some embodiments of the present application, when the door body 200 closes the refrigerated compartment 101, the projection of the door body 200 in the first plane covers at least part of the water injection port 304, so that at least part of the humidification module 300 is hidden in the door body 200, reducing the volume of the humidification module 300 protruding from the door body 200. In this way, along the height direction of the door body 200, when looking from the top end of the door body 200 to the bottom end, the door body 200 blocks at least part of the water injection port 304.

[0274] For example, in combination Figure 2, a mounting groove 230 is provided on the side of the door body 200 facing the refrigerating compartment 101, the thickness of the door body 200 forming the mounting groove 230 is relatively small, and the thickness of the door body 200 above the mounting groove 230 is relatively large. When the humidification module 300 is installed in the mounting groove 230, the projection of the door body 200 above the mounting groove 230 on the first plane covers at least part of the water injection port 304, that is, the projection of the top groove wall of the mounting groove 230 on the first plane covers at least part of the water injection port 304. In this way, the water injection port 304 can be hidden, and at least part of the humidification module 300 can be hidden in the door body 200, which is conducive to saving the space where the humidification module 300 protrudes from the door body 200.

[0275] In some other possible embodiments of the present application, combined with Figure 3 The water injection port 304 is located on the side of the humidification module 300 facing the refrigeration compartment 101. This arrangement can improve the convenience of adding water. The water injection port 304 can be arranged near the top of the humidification module 300 so that the humidification module 300 has a larger water storage space.

[0276] Of course, in some implementations, the water inlet 304 can also be located on one side of the humidification module 300 along the width direction of the door body 200. For example, the water inlet 304 is located on the side of the door body 200 away from the hinge. In this way, the water inlet 304 faces the opening and closing side of the door body 200, and there is sufficient space for adding water, which is conducive to improving the convenience of adding water.

[0277] In some embodiments, the humidification module 300 has a first side and a second side along the width direction of the door body 200 , and one of the bottom of the humidification module 300 , the first side of the humidification module 300 , and the second side of the humidification module 300 is rotatably connected to the door body 200 .

[0278] In this way, a certain distance can be provided between the water injection port 304 on the top side of the humidification module 300 and the door body 200 , so that the user can add water conveniently.

[0279] In some embodiments of the present application, the humidification module 300 is rotatably connected to the door body 200 at the bottom, first side or second side of the humidification module 300, so that the humidification module 300 can be connected to the door body 200 and the humidification module 300 can be rotated relative to the door body 200 to facilitate the user to add water. The installation method of the humidification module 300 is flexible.

[0280] In some embodiments of the present application, the humidification module 300 is rotatably connected to the door body 200, and the humidification module 300 is constructed to be rotatable relative to the door body 200 so that the water injection port 304 is away from the door body 200, so that the water injection port 304 and the door body 200 have a preset interval along the thickness direction of the door body 200.

[0281] For example, the bottom of the humidification module 300 is rotatably connected to the door body 200, and the rotation connection position of the humidification module 300 and the water injection port 304 are respectively located at the two ends of the humidification module 300 along the height direction of the door body 200, so that the humidification module 300 rotates at a smaller angle, so that the water injection port 304 and the door body 200 have a larger gap along the thickness direction of the door body 200, and the water injection port 304 is tilted outward, making the water adding operation easier. Moreover, under the influence of the gravity of the humidification module 300, the rotation operation of the humidification module 300 is more labor-saving.

[0282] When the humidification module 300 is installed in the installation groove 230, the bottom of the humidification module 300 is rotatably connected to the door body 200, which can avoid the rotation of the humidification module 300 interfering with the door rib 221, making the rotation connection of the humidification module 300 simpler to implement.

[0283] The rotation angle of the humidification module 300 may not be restricted, and the user may rotate the humidification module 300 to a certain angle according to actual needs to add water, and the operation flexibility is relatively high.

[0284] In some implementations of the present application, the humidification module 300 is rotatably connected to the door body 200 , and the humidification module 300 is configured to be rotatable relative to the door body 200 between a first position and a second position.

[0285] The first position is the position where the water injection port 304 of the humidification module 300 faces the top of the door body 200. Figure 3 and Figure 6 At this time, the outer surface 311 of the humidification module 300 is arranged parallel to the inner surface 222 of the door liner 220. The second position is a position where the water injection port 304 of the humidification module 300 and the door body 200 have a preset interval along the thickness direction of the door body 200, such as Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown; at this time, there is a certain angle between the outer surface 311 of the humidification module 300 and the inner surface 222 of the door liner 220.

[0286] In some embodiments of the present application, the humidification module 300 is constructed to rotate between a first position and a second position, so that the water adding position of the humidification module 300 is fixed, which is convenient for user operation; and the possibility of accidental rotation of the humidification module 300 during the water adding process can be reduced, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the humidification module 300 during water adding and reducing the risk of splashing water.

[0287] In some embodiments of the present application, when a door shelf 210 is provided above the humidification module 300 , the convenience of the water adding operation of the humidification module 300 is affected due to the limitation of the door shelf 210 .

[0288] To this end, the humidification module 300 is configured to rotate relative to the door body 200 so that the projection of the water injection port 304 on the plane where the bottom side plate 215 of the door shelf 210 is located is located outside the bottom side plate 215 .

[0289] With such arrangement, when the humidifying module 300 is in the second position, the water inlet 304 rotates to the outside of the door shelf 210 , thereby increasing the operating space for adding water, thereby increasing the convenience of adding water and reducing the possibility of interference between the water adding container and the door shelf 210 .

[0290] In other embodiments of the present application, when the humidification module 300 is in the second position, the projection of the water injection port 304 on the plane where the bottom side plate 215 is located can be located inside the bottom side plate 215, but on the side of the bottom side plate 215 facing away from the door body 200.

[0291] When the humidification module 300 is in the second position, the top surface of the humidification module 300 is tilted outward, so that the water injection port 304 is tilted outward, and the direction of the water injection port 304 forms an angle with the height direction of the door body 200, which is conducive to the water adding operation. Therefore, even if the projection of the water injection port 304 on the plane where the bottom side plate 215 is located can be located on the bottom side plate 215, water can still be added.

[0292] In some embodiments of the present application, the bottom end of the humidification module 300 is rotatably mounted on the door body 200. When water is added to the humidification module 300, the projection of the door body 200 in the first plane does not cover the water injection port 304, so that the water injection port 304 is exposed relative to the side of the door body 200 facing the refrigerated compartment 101, thereby facilitating water addition through the water injection port 304.

[0293] For example, in combination Figure 2 The door body 200 is provided with a mounting groove 230 on one side facing the refrigerating compartment 101. The thickness of the door body 200 forming the mounting groove 230 is relatively small, and the thickness of the door body 200 above the mounting groove 230 is relatively large. When the humidifying module 300 is installed in the mounting groove 230, the projection of the door body 200 above the mounting groove 230 on the first plane does not cover the water injection port 304, that is, the projection of the top groove wall of the mounting groove 230 on the first plane does not cover the water injection port 304, so that the water injection port 304 is exposed relative to the side of the door body 200 facing the refrigerating compartment, so that water can be added through the water injection port 304.

[0294] In some implementations, the water filling port 304 is disposed on the top side of the humidification module 300 , and the door shelf 210 above the humidification module 300 and the humidification module 300 have a preset water filling gap along the height direction of the door body 200 so that water can be added toward the water filling port 304 through the water filling gap.

[0295] The water adding interval should allow the water adding port of the water adding container to extend therein. For example, when adding water using a purified water bottle, the water adding interval should allow the bottle mouth of the purified water bottle to extend therein.

[0296] However, when the distance between the water injection port 304 and the door body 200 along the thickness direction of the door body 200 is relatively close, for example Figure 6 The humidification module 300 shown in FIG. 1 is embedded in the door body 200, and adding water may still be inconvenient. Moreover, the space of the water adding interval is not effectively utilized.

[0297] Therefore, the humidification module 300 of the embodiment of the present application rotates relative to the door body 200, so that the water injection port 304 is away from the door body 200, and the interval with the door body 200 is increased, the water adding operation space is expanded, and the convenience of water adding is improved.

[0298] In some embodiments, the door body 200 and the humidification module 300 may be rotatably connected via a hinge, and the connection method is stable and reliable.

[0299] Reference Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In other embodiments, a rotating shaft 233 is provided on one of the door body 200 and the humidification module 300, and a rotating hole 331 is formed on the other; the rotating shaft 233 is rotatably installed in the rotating hole 331, so that the humidification module 300 can rotate relative to the door body 200.

[0300] For example, the door body 200 is provided with a rotating shaft 233, wherein the rotating shaft 233 is provided on the door liner 220; and the humidifying module 300 is provided with a rotating hole 331. In this way, it is not necessary to open a hole on the door body 200, and the integrity of the door liner 220 can be ensured, which is beneficial to the heat preservation of the door body 200. The rotating hole 331 is provided on the humidifying module 300, and the processing is simpler.

[0301] Exemplarily, the door body 200 is provided with a rotating hole 331, wherein the rotating hole 331 is provided on the door liner 220; and the humidification module 300 is provided with a rotating shaft 233. In this way, it is not necessary to open a hole on the humidification module 300, thereby reducing the possibility of leakage of the humidification module 300.

[0302] In the embodiment of the present application, the door body 200 and the humidification module 300 are rotatably connected via the rotating shaft 233 and the rotating hole 331 , and the connection structure is simple, and is easy to process and assemble.

[0303] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft 233 is configured to be disengaged from the rotating hole 331, so that the humidification module 300 is detachable relative to the door body 200, which facilitates the humidification module 300 to be removed from the door body 200 for maintenance, cleaning, watering, etc.

[0304] Thus, the humidification module 300 of the embodiment of the present application is rotatably connected to the door body 200, and the humidification module 300 is also configured to be detachable relative to the door body 200 after the humidification module 300 is rotated relative to the door body 200. In this way, after the humidification module 300 is rotated relative to the door body 200, part of the humidification module 300 is moved away from the door body 200, the detachable operation space of the humidification module 300 is expanded, the rotation operation of the humidification module 300 is labor-saving, the convenience of disassembly of the humidification module 300 is improved, and the operation of disassembling and adding water to the humidification module 300 is simple and convenient.

[0305] In some embodiments, the axial direction of the rotating shaft 233 may be parallel to the inner surface 222 of the door body 200 , wherein the inner surface 222 of the door body 200 is the surface of the door body 200 facing the refrigerating compartment 101 .

[0306] For example, the axial direction of the rotating shaft 233 is parallel to the width direction of the door body 200. In this way, the rotating shaft 233 is located at the bottom of the humidification module 300, so that the bottom of the humidification module 300 is rotatably connected with the door body 200, so that the humidification module 300 rotates at a smaller angle, so that the water injection port 304 and the door body 200 have a larger interval along the thickness direction of the door body 200, and the water injection port 304 is inclined outward, making the water adding operation easier.

[0307] For another example, the axial direction of the rotating shaft 233 is parallel to the height direction of the door body 200. In this way, the rotating shaft 233 can be arranged on the first side or the second side of the humidification module 300, so that the humidification module 300 rotates in the horizontal plane, and the gravity of the humidification module 300 does not need to be overcome during the rotation process, and the operation is more convenient.

[0308] In an actual refrigerator product, due to a processing error or an installation error, the axial direction of the rotating shaft 233 and the height direction of the door body 200 may have a certain angle.

[0309] When the rotating shaft 233 is arranged along the height direction of the door body 200 and the first side or the second side of the humidification module 300 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 233, the relative position of the door body 200 and the first side or the second side of the humidification module 300 does not interfere with the rotation of the humidification module 300.

[0310] For example, in combination Fig.33 , the humidification module 300 rotates in the horizontal plane. The rotating shaft 233 is arranged along the height direction of the door body 200, and the rotating shaft 233 is located on the hinged side of the humidification module 300 facing the door body 200, and the part of the hinged side of the door body 200 opposite to the humidification module 300 does not interfere with the rotation of the humidification module 300.

[0311] The water injection port 304 may be located at the top side of the humidification module 300 . When the humidification module 300 rotates relative to the door body 200 , the water injection port 304 may be moved away from the door body 200 , so as to facilitate water addition.

[0312] The following description will be made by taking as an example that the axial direction of the rotating shaft 233 extends along the width direction of the door body 200 and the rotating shaft 233 is located at the bottom of the humidification module 300 .

[0313] In some possible implementations, two rotating shafts 233 are provided, and the two rotating shafts 233 are coaxially arranged. The two rotating shafts 233 are respectively located on the sides of the two door ribs 221 facing each other. The axial direction of the rotating shaft 233 is parallel to the width direction of the door body 200.

[0314] In some specific implementations, the humidification module 300 is installed in the installation groove 230 , and the two rotating shafts 233 are respectively disposed on two groove side walls 232 of the installation groove 230 .

[0315] The humidification module 300 is respectively formed with rotation holes 331 on both sides along the width direction of the door body, and the rotation holes 331 are located at the bottom of the humidification module 300. In this way, there is no need to provide too much rotation avoidance space on the door body for the rotation of the humidification module 300, which is conducive to ensuring the thermal insulation performance of the door body.

[0316] The embodiment of the present application realizes the rotation connection between the humidification module 300 and the door body by setting two rotating shafts 233. The connection method is stable and reliable, and there is no need to set an overly long rotating shaft 233 to increase the difficulty of assembly. In addition, by setting the rotating holes 331 on both sides of the humidification module 300 along the width direction of the door body, the exposure of the rotating connection structure can be reduced, or even hidden, thereby improving the aesthetics of the installation of the humidification module 300.

[0317] Combination Fig.11 In some possible implementations of the present application, the humidification module 300 is arranged along the width direction of the door body (corresponding to Fig.11 Ring bodies 330 are respectively provided on both sides of the central X-axis direction, and the ring bodies 330 are structured to form a rotating hole 331.

[0318] It can be understood that the humidification module 300 is provided with ring bodies 330 on both sides along the width direction of the door body, so as to form a rotating hole 331 .

[0319] With this arrangement, there is no need to directly open a hole on the humidification module 300, thereby reducing the impact on the tightness of the liquid storage space in the humidification module 300. In addition, the embodiment of the present application uses the ring body 330 to form the rotating hole 331, and there is no need to set a thicker wall area to open the rotating hole 331, which facilitates the molding of the shell of the humidification module 300.

[0320] Continue to refer to Fig.11In some embodiments of the present application, the humidification module 300 is arranged along the width direction of the door body (corresponding to Fig.11 The two sides of the mounting groove (in the X-axis direction) are structured to form a recessed portion 312. The recessed portion 312 is recessed away from the groove side wall of the mounting groove.

[0321] The humidification module 300 has two first side surfaces 313 , which are opposite to each other and spaced apart in the width direction of the door body. Parts of the two first side surfaces 313 are recessed toward each other to form a recessed portion 312 .

[0322] The ring body 330 is disposed in the recessed portion 312 . This configuration can reduce the volume of the ring body 330 protruding from the humidification module 300 , which is beneficial to improving the structural compactness of the humidification module 300 .

[0323] In some embodiments, one end of the ring body 330 facing away from the recessed portion 312 does not protrude from the first side surface 313 of the humidification module 300 .

[0324] It can be understood that the end of the ring body 330 away from the recess 312 is flush with the first side surface 313 , or the end of the ring body 330 away from the recess 312 is lower than the first side surface 313 , that is, the ring body 330 is located in the recess 312 .

[0325] In some embodiments of the present application, a recessed portion 312 is provided on the first side surface 313 of the humidification module 300 to accommodate and install the ring body 330, so that the ring body 330 does not protrude from the first side surface 313, thereby improving the structural compactness of the humidification module 300, reducing the possibility of the ring body 330 being exposed on the inner side of the door body 200, and facilitating hiding the rotating connection structure between the humidification module 300 and the door body.

[0326] Combination Fig.11 and Fig.12 In some embodiments of the present application, a disassembly opening 332 is provided on the ring body 330, and the disassembly opening 332 is communicated with the rotating hole 331. It can be understood that the ring body 330 is an open ring, and the disassembly opening 332 is formed on the side wall of the ring body 330.

[0327] The rotating shaft 233 is configured to be disengaged from the rotating hole 331 through the disassembly opening 332 , so that the humidification module 300 can be disassembled from the door body 200 , which is convenient for maintenance and cleaning, etc., and the humidification module 300 can also be filled with water.

[0328] In some embodiments of the present application, a disassembly opening 332 connected to the rotating hole 331 is provided on the ring body 330, so that the rotating shaft 233 can be disengaged from the rotating shaft 233 through the disassembly opening, thereby realizing the disassembly and assembly of the humidification module 300, which has a simple structure, high operability, and is easy to disassemble.

[0329] Continue to refer to Fig.11 and Fig.12 In some embodiments, the ring body 330 includes: an arcuate ring portion 333, the arcuate ring portion 333 is structured to form a rotation hole 331, which is conducive to ensuring the cooperation between the rotation shaft 233 and the rotation hole 331, so that the humidification module 300 can rotate relative to the rotation shaft 233. In addition, the arcuate ring portion 333 is an open ring with an opening, and the opening structure of the arcuate ring portion 333 forms a disassembly opening 332.

[0330] In some embodiments, the ring body 330 may further include an inclined portion 334 , which is connected to one end of the opening end of the arc-shaped ring portion 333 ; and one end of the inclined portion 334 that is away from the arc-shaped ring portion 333 is inclined toward the door body.

[0331] The end of the inclined portion 334 away from the arc-shaped ring portion 333 is inclined away from the vertical center line, wherein the vertical center line is along the vertical direction of the door body (corresponding to Fig.12 A straight line extending in the Z-axis direction and passing through the center of the arc-shaped ring portion 333.

[0332] In some embodiments of the present application, the ring body 330 is provided with an inclined portion 334 to provide guidance for the shaft 233 to enter and exit the rotating hole 331, so that the disassembly operation of the shaft 233 relative to the rotating hole 331 is more convenient, thereby improving the operability of disassembling the humidification module 300.

[0333] Continue to refer to Fig.11 and Fig.12 In some embodiments of the present application, the recessed portion 312 has a side rib wall 3121, and the side rib wall 3121 is connected to the door body along the thickness direction of the door body (corresponding to Fig.12 The side rib wall 3121 may be located at a side of the recessed portion 312 away from the door body.

[0334] One end of the opening of the ring body 330 is connected to the side rib wall 3121 . One end of the opening of the arc-shaped ring portion 333 is connected to the side rib wall 3121 , and the other end of the opening of the arc-shaped ring portion 333 is connected to the inclined portion 334 .

[0335] In this way, the ring body 330 not only guides the rotating shaft 233 to enter and exit the rotating hole 331 by using the inclined portion 334, but also restricts the rotating shaft 233 from entering and exiting the rotating hole 331 by connecting the opening end of the ring body 330 to the side rib wall 3121. Moreover, the connection between the ring body 330 and the side rib wall 3121 is also conducive to improving the structural stability of the ring body 330.

[0336] The side rib wall 3121 is located on a side of the ring body 330 facing the outer surface 311 of the humidification module 300 , and can shield at least a portion of the ring body 330 .

[0337] Continue to refer to Fig.12In some embodiments, the inner circumferential surface of the ring body 330 is tangentially connected to the inner side surface of the side rib wall 3121 toward the ring body 330. Such a setting can not only reduce the stress at the connection between the ring body 330 and the side rib wall 3121, improve the stability and reliability of the connection between the ring body 330 and the side rib wall 3121, but also improve the smoothness of the rotating shaft entering and exiting the rotating hole 331.

[0338] Reference Figure 11 to Figure 12 In some possible implementations, the humidification module 300 has a back side surface 314 facing the door body, and a bottom side surface 315 connected to the bottom end of the back side surface 314 .

[0339] Thus, the outer surface 311 of the humidification module 300 and the back side surface 314 of the humidification module 300 are aligned along the thickness direction of the door body (corresponding to Fig.11 The back side surface 314 of the humidification module 300 is the side surface of the humidification module 300 facing the door body.

[0340] Combination Fig.11 and Fig.12 An inclined surface 316 is provided between the back side surface 314 and the bottom side surface 315. An angle is formed between the inclined surface 316 and the back side surface 314, and an angle is formed between the inclined surface 316 and the bottom side surface 315.

[0341] Reference Figures 13 to 15 The inclined surface 316 is configured to abut against the surface of the door body facing the refrigerated compartment; the humidifying module 300 is configured to rotate relative to the door body until the inclined surface 316 abuts against the door body.

[0342] When the humidification module 300 is installed in the installation groove 230 , the inclined surface 316 abuts against the groove bottom wall of the installation groove 230 , thereby limiting the rotation angle of the humidification module 300 relative to the door body.

[0343] When the inclined surface 316 abuts against the door body, the humidification module 300 rotates to the second position. The second position is a position where the water injection port 304 of the humidification module 300 and the door body have a preset spacing along the thickness direction of the door body. In other words, the position where the humidification module 300 rotates to when the inclined surface 316 abuts against the door body is the position where the humidification module 300 is added with water.

[0344] The embodiment of the present application provides an inclined surface 316 between the back side surface 314 and the bottom side surface 315 of the humidification module 300, so that the protruding connection between the back side surface 314 and the bottom side surface 315 can be flattened at least partially to prevent the rotation angle of the humidification module 300 from being restricted by the door body; and the inclined surface 316 between the back side surface 314 and the bottom side surface 315 can be used to abut against the door body to limit the rotation position of the humidification module 300, thereby ensuring the stability of the humidification module 300 in the water adding position and avoiding accidental rotation of the humidification module 300 when adding water.

[0345] In some embodiments, in combination Fig.16 When the water injection port faces the top of the door body, the disassembly opening 332 is located below the rotating shaft 233. In this way, the humidification module 300 causes the ring body 330 to press the rotating shaft 233 under its own gravity, which is conducive to improving the reliability of the matching between the rotating shaft 233 and the rotating hole and reducing the possibility of the rotating shaft 233 coming out of the rotating hole.

[0346] Combination Fig.15 When the humidification module 300 rotates to the water adding position, the disassembly opening 332 rotates to the bottom of the rotating shaft 233 and tilts backward, so that the humidification module 300 is pulled upward obliquely, and the rotating shaft 233 can be disengaged from the rotating shaft 233 through the disassembly opening 332. Such a configuration is conducive to improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the humidification module 300.

[0347] It should also be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the outer surface 311 of the humidification module 300 is not provided with an operating handle for disassembling the humidification module 300, which can not only ensure the regularity of the appearance of the humidification module 300, but also improve the compactness of the structure of the humidification module 300, and does not need to occupy the liquid storage space of the humidification module 300. When the humidification module 300 is disassembled, the humidification module 300 is rotated relative to the door body 200 and tilted, such as Fig.14 As shown in . The user can directly disassemble the humidification module 300 by holding the top. Moreover, the size of the humidification module 300 along the thickness direction of the door body 200 is relatively small, and it is easy to hold. For this reason, some embodiments of the present application do not need to set a disassembly and assembly operating handle on the outer surface 311 of the humidification module 300.

[0348] The specific structure and function of the humidification module 300 in some embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0350] The water injection port of the humidification module 300 is in communication with the liquid storage chamber 301, so as to add water into the liquid storage chamber 301. Since the water injection port is arranged on the top side of the humidification module 300, at least part of the liquid storage chamber 301 extends to the top side of the humidification module 300.

In some embodiments of the present application, the mist outlet 303 is disposed on the outer surface 311 of the humidification module 300, so that the mist outlet 303 sprays the humidified water mist toward the refrigerated compartment.

[0353] Exemplarily, the mist outlet 303 is disposed on the outer surface 311 of the humidification module 300 facing the refrigeration compartment. The mist outlet 303 may be a long strip opening extending along the width direction of the humidification module 300, having a large spray area, which is conducive to improving the humidification efficiency.

[0354] Continue to refer to Fig.18 and Fig.19 The humidification module 300 may include a shell assembly 310, which is mounted on the door body. The shell assembly 310 is configured to form the appearance of the humidification module 300. The shell assembly 310 is configured to at least form a liquid storage chamber 301, a mist outlet chamber 302, and a mist outlet 303.

[0355] In some embodiments of the present application, the shell assembly 310 is roughly rectangular, and the first side surface of the shell assembly 310 along its width direction can be configured to form a rotation hole 331, which is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft on the door body, thereby realizing the rotation connection between the humidification module 300 and the door body. The water injection port 304 is arranged on the top side of the shell assembly 310.

[0356] The shell assembly 310 may include a first shell portion and a second shell portion, and the first shell portion and the second shell portion are fixedly connected to jointly enclose a liquid storage chamber 301, a mist outlet chamber 302, and a mist outlet 303. By providing two shell portions, the shell assembly 310 can enclose various functional chambers and facilitate the installation of the internal structure of the shell assembly 310.

[0357] Combination Fig.19 In some embodiments, the shell assembly 310 includes a front shell portion 317 and a rear cover plate 318. The front shell portion 317 may be a shell structure opened toward one side of the door body, and the rear cover plate 318 is covered on the opening of the front shell portion 317. The water injection port 304 and the mist outlet 303 are both provided in the front shell portion 317.

[0358] With such arrangement, the structure of each functional cavity is formed in the front shell portion 317 , and each functional cavity can be formed by fixing the rear cover plate 318 to the front shell portion 317 , and the assembly accuracy requirement of the rear cover plate 318 and the front shell portion 317 is low.

[0359] In some embodiments, the front shell 317 includes a front side plate, a top plate, a bottom plate, a left side plate and a right side plate, wherein the top plate, the bottom plate, the left side plate and the right side plate are all arranged on the side of the front side plate facing the door body, the top plate and the bottom plate are respectively arranged at the top and bottom ends of the front side plate, and the left side plate and the right side plate are respectively arranged at the front side plate along the width direction of the door body (corresponding to Fig.19 In this way, the front side plate, the top plate, the bottom plate, the left side plate and the right side plate are together enclosed to form a front shell portion 317 facing the door opening.

[0360] The water inlet 304 is disposed on the top plate, and the mist outlet 303 is disposed on the front side plate. The inclined surface 316 is formed on the rear cover plate 318 .

[0361] In some embodiments, the front shell 317 may further include a first partition plate 3171, the first partition plate 3171 extending in the width direction of the door body (corresponding to Fig.19 The first partition plate 3171 extends in the X-axis direction, and the two ends of the first partition plate 3171 are connected to the left side plate and the right side plate respectively. Fig.19 In the Z-axis direction), there is a gap between the first partition plate 3171 and the top plate, and there is a gap between the first partition plate 3171 and the bottom plate.

[0362] When the rear cover plate 318 is fixedly connected to the front shell 317 , the first partition plate 3171 abuts against the rear cover plate 318 , so that a liquid storage chamber 301 is formed above the first partition plate 3171 , and a mist outlet chamber 302 is formed below the first partition plate 3171 .

[0363] Continue to refer to Fig.18 The humidification module 300 may include an atomizer 320, which is configured to generate humidification water mist. The atomizer 320 may be an ultrasonic humidifier with high humidification efficiency and low noise. The atomizer 320 may also generate humidification water mist using a pressure atomization method, such as a spray nozzle, a centrifugal atomization device, etc.

[0364] In some embodiments, the atomizer 320 has a water inlet end and a mist outlet end opposite to each other, wherein the water inlet end is exposed in the liquid storage chamber 301 and contacts the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 301 , and the mist outlet end is exposed in the mist outlet chamber 302 to spray water mist into the mist outlet chamber 302 .

[0365] The atomizer 320 is configured to generate water mist at the mist outlet end, and spray the water mist through the mist outlet cavity 302 and the mist outlet 303 .

[0366] In some embodiments, the atomizer 320 is in a sheet shape and occupies little space for installation. The atomizer 320 can be arranged in a horizontal plane, so that the water inlet end of the atomizer 320 can be fully in contact with the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 301.

[0367] Exemplarily, the atomizer 320 may be a microporous atomizer sheet. One side of the microporous atomizer sheet is a water inlet end, and the other side of the microporous atomizer sheet is a mist outlet end. When the atomizer 320 vibrates, the liquid at the water inlet end is forced to pass through the micropores of the atomizer sheet and is dispersed into fine droplets, which are sprayed out from the mist outlet end of the atomizer sheet to form humidified water mist.

[0368] In some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of atomizers 320 are provided, and the plurality of atomizers 320 are arranged along the width direction of the humidification module 300 (corresponding to Fig.19 The humidification mist is increased and the humidification efficiency is improved.

[0369] In some embodiments, a first through hole is disposed on the first partition plate 3171 , and at least an end portion of the water inlet end of the atomizer 320 is opposite to the first through hole, so that the water inlet end of the atomizer 320 is exposed to the liquid storage chamber 301 .

[0370] The atomizer 320 is sealed and mounted on the first partition plate 3171 , and the atomizer 320 is located in the mist outlet chamber 302 . In this way, the electrical connection of the atomizer 320 is facilitated, and the humidifying water mist is sprayed toward the mist outlet chamber 302 .

[0371] Continue to refer to Fig.18 In some embodiments, the mist outlet direction of the mist outlet end of the atomizer 320 is different from the mist outlet direction of the mist outlet 303. Fig.18 The mist outlet 303 is directed toward the cold storage compartment to discharge mist, and the mist outlet 303 is directed toward the cold storage compartment to discharge mist. Fig.18 The mist is discharged in the positive direction of the middle Y axis, and the mist discharge direction of the mist discharge end is perpendicular to the mist discharge direction of the mist outlet 303.

[0372] A mist guiding cavity wall 3191 is provided in the mist outlet cavity 302 . The mist guiding cavity wall 3191 extends from the mist outlet end to the mist outlet 303 , and guides the humidification mist to prevent the humidification mist from accumulating on the bottom wall of the mist outlet cavity 302 to form water droplets.

[0373] Exemplarily, the mist guide cavity wall 3191 is arc-shaped, which helps to reduce the resistance of the spray path of the humidification water mist and increase the spray rate of the humidification water mist.

[0374] Continue to refer to Fig.19In some embodiments, the shell assembly 310 may further include a mist guide shell 319, which is installed in the mist outlet cavity 302, and a portion of the mist guide shell 319 forms a mist guide cavity wall 3191. The rear cover plate 318 is provided with an avoidance port for avoiding the installation of the mist guide shell 319.

[0375] The mist guide housing 319 may include a top housing wall, a bottom housing wall and two first housing walls, wherein the top housing wall is opposite to the first partition plate 3171; and the bottom housing wall is located below the mist outlet 303. The top housing wall and the bottom housing wall are arranged along the height direction of the humidification module 300 (corresponding to Fig.19 The two first shell walls are arranged in a spaced relationship along the width direction of the humidification module 300 (corresponding to the Z-axis direction in FIG. Fig.19 The two shells are arranged at intervals in the X-axis direction and connected to both ends of the top shell wall and the bottom shell wall.

[0376] A second through hole is provided on the top shell wall, and the second through hole is opposite to the first through hole along the height direction of the humidification module 300. The atomizer 320 is sealed and installed between the first partition plate 3171 and the top shell wall.

[0377] The mist guiding cavity wall 3191 has a first end and a second end in the height direction, and the first end is located above the second end. The bottom end of the mist guiding cavity wall 3191 is connected to the top shell wall and is located on the side of the second through hole facing the rear cover plate 318. The second end of the mist guiding cavity wall 3191 is connected to an end of the bottom shell wall away from the rear cover plate 318.

[0378] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the second end of the mist guide cavity wall 3191 is flush with the lower surface of the mist outlet 303, so as to avoid the formation of steps between the mist guide cavity wall 3191 and the mist outlet 303 to form water droplets, and to avoid the mist guide cavity wall 3191 extending into the mist outlet 303 and blocking the mist outlet 303.

[0379] In some embodiments, a wire threading hole is provided on the mist guide cavity wall 3191, so that the wire connected to the atomizer 320 enters the mist guide cavity wall 3191 away from the mist outlet cavity 302 through the wire threading hole, thereby reducing the influence of the wire on the mist outlet.

[0380] In some embodiments, the shell assembly 310 may further include a rear trim plate 3120 , which is disposed on the mist guide shell 319 to shield the wires in the mist guide shell 319 .

[0381] In some embodiments, the rear trim panel 3120 is flush with the rear cover panel 318 , which not only ensures the regularity of the appearance of the shell assembly 310 , but also makes the shell assembly 310 compact.

[0382] In some embodiments of the present application, the shell assembly 310 forms a mist guide cavity wall 3191 by setting a mist guide shell 319 structure, which helps to simplify the structure of the front shell portion 317, making the front shell portion 317 easier to shape; and also facilitates the installation and fixation of the atomizer 320.

[0383] The humidification module 300 of the present embodiment is also configured to form an electrical cavity 305, which is used for electrical components of the humidification module 300, such as a drive board of the atomizer 320, etc. The electrical cavity 305 is not connected to the liquid storage cavity 301 to improve the safety of the electrical components in the electrical cavity 305.

[0384] In some embodiments, in combination Fig.19 The front shell 317 may further include a second partition plate 3172, which may be arranged along the height direction of the door body (corresponding to Fig.19 The top end of the second partition plate 3172 is connected to the top plate of the front shell 317, and the bottom end of the second partition plate 3172 is connected to the first partition plate 3171. Fig.19 In the X-axis direction), there is a gap between the second partition plate 3172 and the left side plate, and there is a gap between the second partition plate 3172 and the right side plate.

[0385] When the rear cover plate 318 is fixedly connected to the front shell portion 317 , the second partition plate 3172 abuts against the rear cover plate 318 , so that a liquid storage chamber 301 is formed on one side of the second partition plate 3172 , and an electrical chamber 305 is formed on the other side.

[0386] Continue to refer to Fig.19 In some possible implementations of the present application, the humidification module 300 is provided with a first electrical connector 360, and the first electrical connector 360 is located at the top of the humidification module 300. The first electrical connector 360 is provided at the top of the electrical cavity 305, so as to facilitate the electrical connection between the first electrical connector 360 and the electrical components in the electrical cavity 305. Exemplarily, the first electrical connector 360 can be electrically connected to the driving board of the atomizer 320 through a wire.

[0387] A second electrical connector is provided on the door body, and the second electrical connector is used to connect to the power supply of the refrigerator.

[0388] When the humidification module 300 is fixed on the door body, the first electrical connector 360 is electrically connected to the second electrical connector to supply power to the humidification module 300 .

[0389] The second electrical connector can also be electrically connected to the controller of the refrigerator. In this way, the first electrical connector 360 and the second electrical connector can also be communicatively connected, and the controller of the refrigerator controls the working state of the atomizer 320 through the second electrical connector and the first electrical connector 360.

[0390] When the humidification module 300 rotates relative to the door body so that the water injection port 304 and the door body have a preset interval along the thickness direction of the door body, the first electrical connector 360 is disconnected from the second electrical connector.

[0391] In some embodiments of the present application, a first electrical connector 360 is provided on the top of the humidification module 300, and the first electrical connector 360 is electrically connected to a second electrical connector provided on the door body to supply power to the humidification module 300; furthermore, the first electrical connector 360 and the second electrical connector are detachably connected, so that when the humidification module 300 is rotated relative to the door body to add water, the first electrical connector 360 and the second electrical connector are disconnected, thereby avoiding electric shock caused by electricity in the humidification module 300 when adding water, which helps to improve the safety of the humidification module 300.

[0392] The first electrical connector 360 is located at the top of the humidification module 300. By rotating a small angle at the bottom of the humidification module 300, the first electrical connector 360 can be disconnected from the second electrical connector, which helps to ensure the timeliness and reliability of power off of the humidification module 300.

[0393] During the process of opening and closing the door, the door body 200 drives the humidification module 300 to rotate, causing the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 301 of the humidification module 300 to shake, affecting the stability of the humidification module 300, and even causing the humidification module 300 to be detached and rotate relative to the door body, affecting the safety of the humidification module 300.

[0394] To this end, in some embodiments of the present application, continue to refer to Fig.19 At least one rib plate 340 is disposed in the liquid storage chamber 301 , and the rib plate 340 divides the liquid storage chamber 301 into at least two sub-chambers.

[0395] In the embodiment of the present application, a rib plate 340 is provided in the liquid storage chamber 301 to divide the larger liquid storage chamber 301 into at least two sub-chambers. The sub-chambers have smaller spaces, which can reduce the range of free flow of liquid in the liquid storage chamber 301 and reduce the shaking amplitude of the liquid. The rib plate 340 has a barrier effect on the flow of liquid and also reduces the shaking amplitude of the liquid, thereby improving the installation stability of the humidification module 300.

[0396] Furthermore, two adjacent sub-cavities are connected, which does not affect the connectivity of the liquid and ensures the consistency of the water levels among the multiple sub-cavities.

[0397] In some possible implementations of the present application, the rib plate 340 extends along a first direction; the first direction is parallel to the width direction of the door body (corresponding to Fig.19 An angle is formed between them (in the X-axis direction).

[0398] exist Fig.19 and Fig. 20In the middle, the rib plate 340 is arranged along the height direction of the door body (corresponding to Fig.19 The first direction extends in the Z-axis direction of the door body, that is, the first direction is parallel to the height direction of the door body, and a right angle is formed between the first direction and the width direction of the door body.

[0399] However, this is not a limitation on the extending direction of the rib plate 340. For example, the rib plate 340 may extend obliquely relative to the height direction of the door body.

[0400] In some embodiments of the present application, by providing the rib plate 340 with a long strip shape, not only the area for blocking the flow of liquid can be increased, but also the separation area between two adjacent sub-cavities can be increased, thereby increasing the flow resistance of the liquid and reducing the degree of shaking of the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 301 during the process of opening and closing the door.

[0401] Continue to refer to Fig. 20 In some embodiments, a plurality of ribs 340 are provided, and the plurality of ribs 340 are arranged at intervals along the second direction; wherein an angle is formed between the second direction and the first direction.

[0402] exist Fig. 20 In the embodiment, the plurality of ribs 340 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the door body 200 , that is, the second direction is parallel to the width direction of the door body 200 , and the angle formed between the second direction and the first direction is a right angle.

[0403] This is not a limitation on the arrangement direction of the rib plate 340. For example, the second direction forms an angle with the width direction of the door body 200.

[0404] The embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of rib plates 340 , and the number of rib plates 340 may be six, eight, etc., which may be determined based on the space of the liquid storage cavity 301 , the difficulty of processing, etc.

[0405] The extension lengths of the plurality of ribs 340 may be the same or different. The extension length of the ribs 340 may be set according to the actual space and structure in the liquid storage chamber 301 .

[0406] In some embodiments of the present application, by providing a plurality of rib plates 340, it is helpful to reduce the space between individual sub-cavities, increase the flow resistance of the liquid, and reduce the degree of shaking of the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 301 during the process of opening and closing the door.

[0407] In some embodiments of the present application, at least one rib plate 340 is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the liquid storage chamber 301 along the height direction of the door body.

[0408] The bottom wall of the liquid storage chamber 301 may be a first partition plate 3171 , and there is a gap between at least one rib plate 340 and the first partition plate 3171 .

[0409] In some embodiments of the present application, a gap is provided between the rib plate 340 and the bottom wall of the liquid storage chamber 301 so that two adjacent sub-cavities are connected. There is no need to provide an additional connecting structure between the two adjacent sub-cavities, which helps to simplify the structure inside the liquid storage chamber 301.

[0410] Moreover, the embodiment of the present application sets a gap between the rib plate 340 and the bottom wall of the liquid storage chamber 301, so that when the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 301 is small, the shaking in the liquid storage chamber 301 is small, and there is no need to use the rib plate 340 to reduce the shaking; moreover, it can ensure that the atomizers on the bottom wall of the liquid storage chamber 301 can all contact with the liquid for atomization, avoiding the situation where some atomizers have water while others do not due to uneven distribution of liquid.

[0411] When multiple ribs 340 are provided, there is a gap between the multiple ribs 340 and the bottom wall of the liquid storage chamber 301 along the height direction of the door body to connect two adjacent sub-cavities, so that the liquid level heights between the sub-cavities are consistent, avoiding the influence of inconsistent liquid levels on the atomization of the atomizer 320.

[0412] In some possible implementations, the rib plate 340 may extend to the bottom wall of the liquid storage chamber 301 , and a connecting opening is provided at one end where the rib plate 340 is connected to the bottom wall of the liquid storage chamber 301 , so that two adjacent sub-cavities are connected.

[0413] In some embodiments of the present application, at least one rib plate 340 is spaced apart from the top wall of the liquid storage chamber 301 along the height direction of the door body.

[0414] The top wall of the liquid storage chamber 301 may be a top plate of the front shell 317. A gap is provided between at least one rib plate 340 and the top plate of the front shell 317.

[0415] In the embodiment of the present application, a gap is set between the rib plate 340 and the top wall of the liquid storage chamber 301 so that the tops of two adjacent sub-cavities are connected, thereby connecting the gases at the tops of the two adjacent sub-cavities, which is beneficial to balancing the air pressure between the two adjacent sub-cavities, thereby making the liquid levels between the two adjacent sub-cavities consistent.

[0416] In some possible implementations, at least one rib plate 340 may extend to the top wall of the liquid storage chamber 301 , which may improve the reliability and stability of the connection between the rib plate 340 and the front shell portion 317 .

[0417] Continue to refer to Fig.19 and Fig. 20 In some embodiments, the liquid storage cavity 301 includes two first cavity walls that are opposite to each other and spaced apart along the thickness direction of the door body.

[0418] One of the two first cavity walls is connected to one side of the rib plate 340 along the thickness direction of the door body, and the other of the two first cavity walls is abutted against the other side of the rib plate 340 along the thickness direction of the door body.

[0419] In the embodiment of the present application, the rib plate 340 is fixed to one of the first cavity walls so that the rib plate 340 is fixed in the liquid storage cavity 301. The rib plate 340 abuts against the other first cavity wall, thereby dividing the liquid storage cavity 301 into at least two sub-cavities. The rib plate 340 only needs to be fixed to one of the first cavity walls and does not need to be connected to the other first cavity wall, which can simplify the structure in the liquid storage cavity 301.

[0420] In some possible implementations of the present application, the rear cover plate 318 and the front side plate of the front shell portion 317 are respectively constructed to form two first cavity walls of the liquid storage cavity 301 .

[0421] Among them, at least one rib plate 340 is connected to the rear cover plate 318 on one side along the thickness direction of the door body, and abuts against the front side plate of the front shell 317 on the other side, so that two sub-cavities are formed on both sides of the rib plate 340.

[0422] Alternatively, at least one rib plate 340 is connected to the front side plate of the front shell portion 317 on one side along the thickness direction of the door body 200, and abuts against the rear cover plate 318 on the other side, so that two sub-cavities are formed on both sides of the rib plate 340.

[0423] In some embodiments, all ribs 340 are connected to one of the first cavity walls to facilitate processing and assembly.

[0424] In other embodiments, part of the ribs 340 is connected to one of the first cavity walls, and another part of the ribs 340 is connected to another first cavity wall. In this way, more ribs 340 can be provided, and the structural strength of the rear cover 318 and the front shell 317 can be improved respectively.

[0425] like Fig.19 As shown, a water injection port 304 is provided at the top of the liquid storage chamber 301 for adding water into the liquid storage chamber 301 .

[0426] A water injection plug 3041 is installed in the water injection port 304 to seal the water injection port 304 and prevent liquid from overflowing from the water injection port 304 .

[0427] The water injection plug 3041 is provided with a vent hole to balance the pressure difference between the liquid storage chamber 301 and the outside atmosphere, and prevent the water in the liquid storage chamber 301 from overflowing from the water injection port 304 during the door opening and closing process. It can also prevent the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 301 from being consumed by the atomizer 320, thereby preventing a low-pressure environment from being formed in the liquid storage chamber 301, which is not conducive to the flow of the liquid.

[0428] In some embodiments of the present application, a water inlet structure 350 is provided in the liquid storage chamber 301 , and the water inlet structure 350 is constructed to form a water inlet channel 351 ; the water inlet end of the water inlet channel 351 is opposite to the water injection port 304 , and the water outlet end of the water inlet channel 351 is connected to the liquid storage chamber 301 .

[0429] Thus, by arranging the water inlet structure 350 in the liquid storage chamber 301, the water inlet structure 350 is structured to form a water inlet channel 351, which can not only allow water to flow into the liquid storage chamber 301, but also increase the overflow resistance of the liquid by arranging the water inlet channel 351 between the liquid storage chamber 301 and the water injection port 304, thereby reducing the possibility of liquid overflowing from the liquid storage chamber 301 when the door is opened or closed. Moreover, the arrangement of the water inlet structure 350 can also play a role in reducing the sloshing of the liquid.

[0430] In some embodiments, the water inlet channel 351 may be curved to increase the resistance of liquid to overflow through the water inlet channel 351 and the water injection port 304 , thereby improving the anti-overflow performance of the water injection port 304 .

[0431] In other embodiments, the water inlet channel 351 may be a straight channel, and a barrier structure is provided in the straight channel to increase the resistance of the liquid to overflow through the water inlet channel 351 and the water injection port 304 .

[0432] Continue to refer to Fig. 20 In some embodiments, the water inlet structure 350 includes: ribs 352 , which are connected to the side walls of the water inlet channel 351 and are located in the water inlet channel 351 .

[0433] One end of the rib 352 away from the side wall of the water inlet channel 351 is inclined in a direction away from the water injection port 304; Fig. 20 In the embodiment, one end of the rib 352 away from the side wall of the water inlet channel 351 is inclined downward.

[0434] At least part of the projection of the rib 352 on the first plane is located in the water injection port 304, wherein the first plane is perpendicular to the depth direction of the water injection port 304. When the door is closed, the depth direction of the water injection port 304 is parallel to the height direction of the door.

[0435] When the water injection port 304 is disposed on the top wall of the water storage chamber, the first plane may be a horizontal plane, which is a plane determined by the width direction and the thickness direction of the door body 200 .

[0436] In some embodiments of the present application, the water inlet structure 350 is provided with ribs 352 on the side wall of the water inlet channel 351, so that at least part of the ribs 352 is opposite to the water injection port 304, thereby increasing the resistance to water overflow and preventing the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 301 from overflowing. Since the end of the ribs 352 away from the side wall of the water inlet channel 351 is inclined downward, the resistance to water injection is small and the water injection is not greatly affected.

[0437] like Fig. 20 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of ribs 352 are provided, and the plurality of ribs 352 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the water inlet channel 351 .

[0438] When the water inlet channel 351 extends along the height direction of the door body 200 , the plurality of ribs 352 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the door body 200 .

[0439] In the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of ribs 352 are provided to increase the resistance of the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 301 to overflow through the water injection port 304 , thereby improving the problem of liquid overflow when the humidification module 300 is opened or closed.

[0440] In some embodiments of the present application, the water inlet structure 350 further includes: two channel side plates 353; the two channel side plates 353 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the door body.

[0441] The two cavity walls of the liquid storage cavity 301 along the thickness direction of the door body are first cavity walls, and the two channel side plates 353 and the two first cavity walls together enclose a water inlet channel 351 .

[0442] The two channel side plates 353 , the rear cover plate 318 , and the front side plate of the front shell 317 together enclose a water inlet channel 351 .

[0443] The two channel side plates 353 may be connected to the rear cover plate 318, and the two channel side plates 353 abut against the front side plate; or the two channel side plates 353 may be connected to the front side plate, and the two channel side plates 353 abut against the rear cover plate 318. In this way, the two channel side plates 353 are connected to one of the rear cover plate 318 and the front side plate, which is conducive to simplifying the connection structure of the channel side plates 353.

[0444] The ribs 352 are connected to the channel side plates 353 , and the ribs 352 are located on the sides of the two channel side plates 353 facing each other.

[0445] The embodiment of the present application provides two channel side plates 353 in the liquid storage chamber 301, which are respectively enclosed with two cavity walls of the liquid chamber along the thickness direction of the door body to form a water inlet channel 351, which is conducive to simplifying the structure in the liquid storage chamber 301. Moreover, the provision of two channel side plates 353 can also play a role in reducing liquid sloshing.

[0446] In some embodiments of the present application, all ribs 352 are respectively arranged on one side of the two channel side panels 353 facing each other, and the ribs 352 on the two channel side panels 353 are spaced apart along the width direction of the door body 200 .

[0447] In the embodiment of the present application, ribs 352 are respectively provided on the two channel side plates 353 to further increase the resistance of the liquid overflowing through the water injection port 304, thereby reducing the possibility of water overflowing from the water injection port 304. In addition, there is a gap between the ribs 352 on the two channel side plates 353, which is conducive to reducing the resistance of water injection and ensuring the smoothness and speed of water injection.

[0448] In the embodiment of the present application, the humidification module 300 rotates relative to the door body 200 to add water. In some embodiments, a damping shaft can be provided between the humidification module 300 and the door body 200, so that the humidification module 300 and the door body 200 can rotate, and the humidification module 300 can be rotated to a preset angle; and the humidification module 300 is fixed relative to the door body 200 after adding water.

[0449] In other embodiments, the humidification module 300 and the door body 200 are fixed or unlocked via a locking structure, so that the humidification module 300 can rotate relative to the door body 200 .

[0454] The unlocking position is the position when the locking structure 32 is disengaged from the matching structure 250 ; when the locking structure 32 is in the unlocking position, the humidification module 300 can rotate relative to the door body 200 .

[0455] Among them, the lock structure 32 can move relative to the humidification body 31 along the thickness direction of the door body 200, so that the lock structure 32 moves between the locked position and the unlocked position. Alternatively, the lock structure 32 can also slide in a certain direction relative to the humidification body 31, so that the lock structure 32 moves between the locked position and the unlocked position. Alternatively, the lock structure 32 can rotate relative to the humidification body 31, so that the lock structure 32 moves between the locked position and the unlocked position. Exemplarily, the rotation angle between the locked position and the unlocked position of the lock structure 32 can be 90°, which is easy to operate.

[0456] In the embodiment of the present application, a locking structure 32 is provided on the humidifying body 31, and a matching structure 250 is provided on the door body 200. Through the cooperation between the locking structure 32 and the matching structure 250, the humidifying body 31 is fixed relative to the door body 200 and cannot rotate, which is beneficial to ensure the stability of the humidifying module 300 relative to the door body 200; when the locking structure 32 moves to the unlocking position, the locking structure 32 disengages from the matching structure 250, so that the humidifying body 31 can rotate relative to the door body 200, and then the humidifying body 31 can rotate relative to the door body 200 to the water adding position, so that water is added to the liquid storage chamber 301 in the humidifying body 31.

[0499] In some embodiments of the present application, a lock detection switch 270 and a trigger member 260 are provided on the door body to detect the locking state of the lock structure 32, so as to avoid the situation where the locking member 322 fails to cooperate with the matching structure 250 when the door body is closed, causing the humidifier body 31 to rotate relative to the door body, thereby affecting the stability of the humidifier body 31.

[0500] In some embodiments, the stopper 251 of the matching structure 250 is provided with an abutting opening 2514 , and a portion of the triggering member 260 extends into the accommodating portion 370 through the abutting opening 2514 .

[0501] A portion of the trigger member 260 is located on a side of the door inner shell facing the door outer shell and contacts the sensing portion 271 of the lock detection switch 270 .

[0502] When the locking member 322 cooperates with the limiting member 251 , the locking member 322 abuts against the portion of the trigger member 260 extending into the accommodating portion 370 , so that the trigger member 260 triggers the locking detection switch 270 to send a first signal through the sensing portion 271 of the locking detection switch 270 .

[0503] When the door closes the refrigerating compartment and the locking member 322 does not cooperate with the limiting member 251, the trigger member 260 does not trigger the sensing part 271 of the lock detection switch 270, so that the lock detection switch 270 sends a second signal, indicating that the humidifying body 31 is not locked with the door 200.

[0504] The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific structure of the lock detection switch 270, and the lock detection switch 270 may be a micro switch, etc. Among them, the sensing part of the lock detection switch 270 may be an elastic member.

[0505] Combination Fig.26 and Fig. 27 In some embodiments, the stopper 251 is provided with a mounting hole 2515 , wherein the mounting hole 2515 can be provided on the mounting plate 2513 and the connecting column 2511 .

[0506] In some embodiments of the present application, reference Fig.25 and Fig. 27 The trigger member 260 includes a matching portion 261 and an abutting portion 262 . The matching portion 261 is installed in the mounting hole 2515 . The abutting portion 262 is connected to the side of the matching portion 261 . A portion of the abutting portion 262 extends into the accommodating portion 370 through the abutting opening 2514 .

[0507] The trigger member 260 of the embodiment of the present application cooperates with the mounting hole 2515 through the matching portion 261, so that the trigger member 260 and the limiting member 251 can cooperate stably, and can provide guidance for the movement of the trigger member 260.

[0508] A matching hole 2611 may be provided on the matching portion 261 , so that the sensing portion 271 of the lock detection switch 270 extends into the matching hole 2611 , thereby ensuring the stability of the matching between the trigger member 260 and the sensing portion 271 of the lock detection switch 270 .

[0509] In some of the implementations, when the operating member 321 drives the locking member 322 to rotate to the locking position, the locking member 322 is engaged with the limit member 251, and at the same time, the locking member 322 abuts against the trigger member 260, pushing the trigger member 260 to move toward the locking detection switch 270 relative to the limit member 251, so that the trigger member 260 abuts against the sensing portion 271 of the locking detection switch 270, thereby triggering the locking detection switch 270 to send a first signal.

[0510] When the door is closed but the locking structure 32 does not lock the humidifier body 31, due to the gap between the locking member 322 and the trigger member 260, the trigger member 260 does not trigger the lock detection switch 270, so that the lock detection switch 270 sends a second signal.

[0511] In an embodiment of the present application, a locking detection switch 270 and a trigger member 260 are provided on the door body 200. When the locking structure 32 locks the humidifying body 31 and the door body 200, the locking member 322 triggers the locking detection switch 270 through the trigger member 260 to send a first signal. When the door body 200 is closed and the locking structure 32 does not lock the humidifying body 31 and the door body 200, the locking detection switch 270 sends a second signal to prompt the user that the humidifying module 300 is not locked, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the processing module.

[0512] During the humidification process of the humidification module 300, the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 301 is continuously consumed by the atomizer 320. If the liquid storage chamber 301 cannot be humidified in time, the humidification will be affected, and the atomizer 320 will not only make a lot of noise when working in the absence of water, but also be easily damaged.

[0513] In some embodiments, a transparent plate 3101 is provided on the wall of the liquid storage cavity 301 facing the refrigerated compartment 101, and the transparent plate 3101 extends along the height direction of the liquid storage cavity 301. In this way, the user can check the liquid level in the liquid storage cavity 301 through the transparent plate 3101, so that the user can obtain the liquid level in the liquid storage cavity 301 in time.

[0514] For example, refer to Fig.24 An opening is provided on the front side plate of the front shell portion 317, and the transparent plate 3101 is sealed and connected to the front shell portion 317 and covers the opening.

[0515] In some embodiments of the present application, Fig.24 The humidification module 300 is also configured to form a detection chamber 306, which is arranged in parallel with the liquid storage chamber 301 along the width direction of the door body 200; the detection chamber 306 is connected to the bottom end of the liquid storage chamber 301. In this way, the liquid level in the detection chamber 306 is the same as that in the liquid storage chamber 301, and the liquid level in the liquid storage chamber 301 can be determined by monitoring the liquid level in the detection chamber 306.

[0516] In some embodiments, a fourth partition plate 3177 is disposed in the liquid storage chamber 301, and the fourth partition plate 3177 extends along the height direction of the humidification module 300 to separate the liquid storage chamber 301 and the detection chamber 306. There is a gap between the bottom end of the fourth partition plate 3177 and the bottom wall of the liquid storage chamber 301, so that the detection chamber 306 and the liquid storage chamber 301 are connected.

[0517] In some embodiments, the fourth partition plate 3177 is connected to the front shell 317 of the humidification module 300 , and there is a gap between the fourth partition plate 3177 and the rear cover plate 318 , so that the detection cavity 306 is connected to the liquid storage cavity 301 .

[0518] Reference Figures 28 to 30 The humidification module 300 is provided with a water shortage detection mechanism 380, which is configured to send a water shortage signal when the liquid level of the liquid storage chamber 301 is lower than the set liquid level. The water shortage detection mechanism 380 includes but is not limited to a liquid level monitoring mechanism such as a liquid level meter.

[0519] In some embodiments, the water shortage detection mechanism 380 includes a buoyancy member 381, which is located in the detection chamber 306 and floats along the detection chamber 306 along with the liquid level in the detection chamber 306. In the embodiment of the present application, the buoyancy member 381 floats along the height direction along with the liquid level in the detection chamber 306.

[0520] For example, the buoyancy member 381 may be foam, which has a low density and is easy to float with the liquid level, which is conducive to improving the detection accuracy. The buoyancy member 381 may also be a floating ball or the like.

[0521] In some embodiments, in combination Fig. 20 A support plate 3061 is provided at the bottom of the detection chamber 306, and there is a gap between the support plate 3061 and the bottom wall of the liquid storage chamber 301. In this way, when the buoyancy member 381 falls to the bottom of the detection chamber 306, the support plate 3061 can support the buoyancy member 381. When water is added to the liquid storage chamber 301, since the buoyancy member 381 is located above the bottom wall of the liquid storage chamber 301, the buoyancy member 381 can float under the action of buoyancy.

[0522] The water shortage detection mechanism 380 may further include a water shortage detection switch 382, ​​which is installed in the electrical cavity 305. The electrical cavity 305 is not connected to the detection cavity 306, so as to prevent the liquid in the detection cavity 306 from entering the electrical cavity 305 and damaging electrical components such as the water shortage detection switch 382. In some embodiments, the third partition plate 3173 is disposed between the electrical cavity 305 and the detection cavity 306.

[0523] The buoyancy member 381 is configured to trigger the water shortage detection switch 382 to send a water shortage signal when the liquid level in the detection chamber 306 is lower than the set liquid level, so as to prompt the user to add water in time to ensure the normal operation of the humidification module 300.

[0524] Reference Fig.29 and Fig.30 In some embodiments, the buoyancy member 381 may be a non-transparent member, such as a black buoyancy member 381. A detection opening 383 is provided on the fourth partition plate 3177 between the electrical cavity 305 and the detection cavity 306. The detection opening 383 is located on the side of the buoyancy member 381 in the floating direction of the liquid level, for example, the detection opening 383 is located on the vertical side of the buoyancy member 381. A light-transmitting plate 384 is sealed and installed on the fourth partition plate 3177. The light-transmitting plate 384 may be a transparent glass plate. The water shortage detection switch 382 may be a photoelectric locking detection switch 270 installed in the electrical cavity 305, and the photoelectric locking detection switch 270 is opposite to the detection port. When the liquid level in the detection cavity 306 is lower than the set liquid level, the buoyancy member 381 drops to be opposite to the detection opening 383, and the light emitted by the photoelectric locking detection switch 270 is absorbed by the buoyancy member 381, and no feedback light is received, thereby causing the photoelectric locking detection switch 270 to emit a water shortage signal. When the liquid level in the detection chamber 306 is higher than the set position, the buoyancy member 381 floats on the liquid level surface, and the light emitted by the photoelectric lock detection switch 270 enters the detection chamber 306 through the lock detection switch 270 and is reflected back to the photoelectric lock detection switch 270, and the photoelectric lock detection switch 270 detects the reflected light.

[0525] Reference Fig.31 and Fig.32In some embodiments, the water shortage detection switch 382 may be a micro switch. The micro switch is located at the bottom of the buoyancy member 381. The trigger structure 385 of the micro switch extends into the bottom of the detection chamber 306. When the liquid level in the detection chamber 306 is lower than the set liquid level, the buoyancy member 381 is acted on the micro switch by gravity to trigger the micro switch to close, so that the micro switch sends a water shortage signal. When the liquid level in the detection chamber 306 is higher than the set liquid level, the buoyancy of the buoyancy member 381 is greater than the weight of the air, and the buoyancy member 381 is away from the trigger structure 385.

[0526] During the opening and closing process of the door body 200, the liquid level in the liquid storage chamber 301 inevitably fluctuates, thereby causing the liquid level in the detection chamber 306 to fluctuate. In order to ensure the accuracy of water shortage detection, the water shortage detection mechanism 380 is configured to detect the liquid level in the liquid storage chamber 301 at a set time after the door body 200 is opened and closed. For example, the water shortage detection mechanism 380 is configured to detect the liquid level in the liquid storage chamber 301 5 seconds after the door body 200 is opened and closed.

[0527] In the embodiment of the present application, the humidification module 300 is configured with a water shortage detection mechanism 380 to monitor the liquid level state in the liquid storage chamber 301, so as to timely add water to the liquid storage chamber 301, reduce the possibility of dry burning of the atomizer 320, and improve the safety of the humidification module 300. In addition, by constructing a detection chamber 306 connected to the liquid storage chamber 301 in the humidification module 300, the water level of the liquid storage chamber 301 is determined by using the buoyancy member 381 in the detection chamber 306. The detection chamber 306 can limit the buoyancy member 381, which is conducive to improving the stability of the buoyancy member 381, thereby improving the accuracy of water shortage detection and reducing false alarms of water shortage caused by the shaking of the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 301.

[0528] In the above description, the functional module is described as the humidification module 300. However, this is not restrictive. For example, the functional module can also be a vacuum module, which can vacuum the storage bag. For another example, the functional module can also be a deodorization module, which can purify the refrigerated compartment.

[0529] Through the above description, the functional module of the embodiment of the present application is installed on the door body and does not occupy the storage space of the refrigerated compartment.

[0530] The projection of the door shelf along the height direction of the door body covers the functional module, so that the functional module does not protrude from the door shelf along the thickness direction of the door body, thereby avoiding interference between the functional module and the internal components of the refrigerated compartment when the door body closes the refrigerated compartment.

[0531] The functional module is embedded in the installation groove of the door body, which can reduce the volume of the functional module protruding from the inner surface of the door body, so that the functional module can be installed in the door body in a hidden manner, thereby improving the appearance of the inner side of the door body; it can also avoid interference with the drawers installed in the cold storage room when pulling out.

[0532] The functional module is rotatably connected to the door body and is constructed to be removable relative to the door body after being rotated relative to the door body, so that after the functional module is rotated relative to the door body, at least part of it can be exposed from the installation groove, thereby making at least part of the functional module away from the door body, thereby expanding the removable operating space of the functional module; the rotation operation of the functional module saves time and effort, and is conducive to improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the functional module.
