[0105] Exemplarily, the box body 110 may include a box shell and a box liner, wherein the box shell is used to define the outer boundary of the refrigerator 100. The box liner may be arranged in the box shell and connected to the box shell. The box liner may be recessed inward to form a refrigeration compartment. An insulation layer may be filled between the box shell and the box liner, and the insulation layer can keep the refrigeration compartment warm, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the refrigerator 100.
[0106] The box body 110 adopts a rectangular hollow structure. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the box body 110 can also adopt a hollow shell structure of other shapes.
[0107] [Door body 120]
[0108] It should be noted that the door body 120 may be connected to the cabinet body 110 to open or close the refrigeration compartment.
[0109] The door body 120 is arranged on the front surface of the box body 110 to close the refrigeration compartment. The door body 120 is configured to be able to open and close the refrigeration compartment, that is, the door body 120 can open and close the front opening of the box body 110. The door body 120 can be arranged corresponding to the refrigeration compartment, that is, each refrigeration compartment corresponds to one or more door bodies 120. The number of refrigeration compartments and door bodies 120, and the functions of the refrigeration compartments can be actually selected according to the specific situation. One door body 120 can be arranged corresponding to the same refrigeration compartment. Alternatively, two door bodies 120 can be arranged corresponding to the same refrigeration compartment.
[0110] In some possible implementations of the present application, the door 120 may be rotatably connected to the cabinet 110 around the height direction of the cabinet 110. The door 120 may be pulled or pushed so that the door 120 rotates relative to the cabinet 110 to open or close the refrigeration compartment.
[0111] In some embodiments, the door body 120 is a rotating door body 120 structure. The door body 120 is rotatably disposed on the front side of the box body 110. In this case, the door body 120 can be used as a common door structure, such as a refrigerator door, a freezer door, etc.
[0112] Specifically, the door body 120 and the box body 110 may be connected via a hinge, so that the door body 120 of the refrigerator 100 may rotate around the axis of the hinge to open and close the door body 120 of the refrigerator 100, thereby opening and closing the corresponding refrigeration compartment.

The evaporator provides different amounts of cold to various types of storage spaces, which makes the temperatures in various types of storage spaces different. For example, the temperature in the refrigerator is generally between 2°C and 10°C, preferably 4°C to 7°C. The temperature range in the freezer is generally between -22°C and -14°C. The optimal storage temperature for different types of items is not the same, and thus the storage space suitable for storage is also different. For example, fruits and vegetables are suitable for storage in the refrigerator or fresh-keeping space, while meat is suitable for storage in the freezer.
[0116] It should be noted that the door body 120 includes a panel 121, and the panel 121 faces away from the refrigeration compartment. The panel 121 in the embodiment of the present application is a flat glass panel 121 or a flat metal panel 121 or other panel 121.

[0118] In some embodiments, the door body 120 further includes a lower end cover 122, an upper end cover 123, a left flange, and a right flange.
[0119] The upper end cover 123 is disposed at the top of the frame 127 and is located at the top edge of the panel 121, and serves as the top appearance surface of the door body 120. The lower end cover 122 is disposed at the bottom of the frame 127 and serves as the bottom appearance surface of the door body 120. The upper end cover 123 and the lower end cover 122 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart from each other.
[0120] The left flange is located at the left edge of the door body 120 and serves as the left appearance surface of the door body 120. The right flange is located at the right edge of the door body 120 and serves as the right appearance surface of the door body 120. The left flange and the right flange are both arranged between the upper end cover 123 and the lower end cover 122, and the left flange and the right flange are arranged in parallel and spaced apart from each other.
[0121] The top ends of the left flange and the right flange are connected to the left and right ends of the upper end cover 123 respectively, and the bottom ends of the left flange and the right flange are connected to the left and right ends of the lower end cover 122 respectively, so that the left flange, the upper end cover 123, the right flange and the lower end cover 122 can be connected end to end in sequence to form a rectangular frame 127 structure.
[0122] In some embodiments, the door body 120 further includes a door liner 128, which is fixed to the rear side of the frame 127, and the door liner 128 can close the rear port of the frame 127. The panel 121 is fixed to the upper side of the front side of the frame 127, and the panel 121 can encapsulate the front port of the frame 127. Therefore, the frame 127, the door liner 128, and the panel 121 can enclose a door cavity, and then the door cavity can be sealed and filled with foam material to achieve the thermal insulation and heat insulation performance of the door body 120.
[0123] Specifically, the panel 121 is disposed on the front side of the frame 127 . The panel 121 is a plate-like structure and serves as the front appearance surface of the drawer door. The panel 121 can completely cover the front side of the frame 127 .

As part of a smart home, the refrigerator 100 can interact with other devices through voice to achieve more comprehensive home automation.
[0126] In some embodiments, Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the voice interaction component 130 includes a sound receiver 131. The basic function of the sound receiver 131 is to capture the user's voice input and convert the sound waves into electrical signals. This is the first step of voice interaction, ensuring that the user's instructions can be received by the device. The sound receiver 131 is installed in the first accommodating cavity 1221, that is, located at the lower end cover 122. By being accommodated in the first accommodating cavity 1221, it can be hidden in the lower end cover 122, and the sound receiver 131 is not exposed on the appearance of the refrigerator 100, so as to improve the overall aesthetics of the refrigerator 100.
[0127] It should be noted that the sound receiving component 131 can be detachably installed in the first accommodating cavity 1221 . The detachable sound receiving component 131 is convenient for users to perform regular maintenance and ensures the long-term use of the sound receiving component 131 .
[0128] In some embodiments, the detachable manner may be, for example, snap-on installation, bolt installation, etc., which are not limited herein.
[0129] like Figures 2 to 5As shown, in some embodiments, the voice interaction component 130 includes a sounding piece 132, and the basic function of the sounding piece 132 is to convert electrical signals into sound waves so that the user can hear the audio feedback of the device.

[0131] Fig.10 This is an exploded schematic diagram of a refrigerator door from a third perspective provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.11 for Fig.10 A partial enlarged view of point IV in the middle.
[0132] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the voice interaction component 130 also includes a main control board 133 installed in the first accommodating cavity 1221 and electrically connected to the sound receiving component 131.
[0133] The main control board 133 and the sound receiving component 131 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the lower end cover 122 .
[0134] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by arranging the main control board 133 and the sound receiving component 131 at intervals along the extension direction of the lower end cover 122, the space inside the door body 120 of the refrigerator 100 can be effectively utilized, mutual interference between components can be avoided, and the compactness and neatness of the internal structure can be maintained. The length and complexity of the cable can be reduced, the wiring process can be simplified, the production efficiency can be improved, and the risk of wiring-related failures can be reduced.
[0135] In addition, it should be noted that the main control board 133 and the sound receiving component 131 are concentrated in one area, and reasonable intervals are set to facilitate technicians to perform maintenance and replacement, thereby reducing maintenance costs and time. Reasonable intervals can reduce electromagnetic interference between the main control board 133 and the sound receiving component 131, improve the accuracy of signal processing and the overall performance of the system. It also helps to improve the heat dissipation performance of the components, reduce the risk of performance degradation or failure due to overheating, and thus improve the stability and reliability of the system.
[0136] In some embodiments, the main control board 133 is responsible for receiving the audio signal from the sound receiving component 131 (microphone) and performing preliminary signal processing, such as noise reduction and gain adjustment, to improve the accuracy of speech recognition. The main control board 133 can process and store data related to voice interaction, such as user command history, system logs, etc., for analysis and optimization. The main control board 133 usually has the ability to communicate with other devices or networks, and can exchange data with smart home systems, cloud services or mobile applications through wireless or wired connections. Based on the results of speech recognition, the main control board 133 can be responsible for executing corresponding instructions, such as adjusting the temperature of the refrigerator 100, setting reminders or playing audio feedback.
[0137] Fig.12 This is a partial cross-sectional view of the bottom of the door of the refrigerator provided in an embodiment of the present application from a first viewing angle. Fig.13 A partial cross-sectional view of the bottom of the door body of the refrigerator provided in an embodiment of the present application from a second perspective.
[0138] like Figure 8 , Fig. 9 as well as Fig.13 As shown, in some embodiments, a first wiring hole 1223 is opened on the lower end cover 122 , and the first wiring hole 1223 is connected to the first accommodating cavity 1221 .
[0139] like Figure 5 As shown, a second wiring hole 1234 is opened on the upper end cover 123 , and the second wiring hole 1234 is connected to the second accommodating cavity 1233 .
[0140] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the first wiring hole 1223 provides a special channel for arranging and managing cables, making the wiring between the main control board 133 and the sound receiving component 131 more orderly and neat, reducing the possibility of cable crossing and entanglement. In addition, the installation and replacement of cables are more convenient, and technicians can more easily perform inspection and maintenance, reducing maintenance time and cost.
[0141] In some embodiments, the first wiring hole 1223 is located on one side of the sound receiving component 131 and is opened on the bottom wall of the first accommodating cavity 1221. It is convenient for the cables of the main control board 133 and the sound receiving component 131 to pass through the first wiring hole 1223 and be electrically connected to the sound generating component 132 located at the top of the door body 120, so that the sound receiving component 131 and the sound generating component 132 are powered on and can perform voice interaction normally.
[0142] It should be noted that the design of the second wiring hole 1234 facilitates the arrangement of cables on the sound-emitting component 132 .
[0143] like Fig.10 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 as well as Fig.13 As shown, in some embodiments, the lower end cover 122 defines a first opening; the door body 120 further includes: a lower cover plate 124 , which covers the first opening, and the first opening is communicated with the first accommodating cavity 1221 .
[0144] The sound receiving component 131 is disposed on the lower cover 124 .
[0145] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by covering the first opening with the lower cover plate 124 to form a closed first accommodating cavity 1221, the sound receiving component 131 can be effectively protected from external environmental influences, such as dust, moisture and physical damage, thereby improving its durability and reliability.
[0146] It should be noted that the sound receiving component 131 is disposed on the lower cover plate 124 , and the lower cover plate 124 is disposed on the lower end cover 122 , so as to improve the installation convenience of the sound receiving component 131 .
[0147] The analysis is as follows: Generally, in order to ensure that the sound receiver 131 is directly and tightly fitted to the panel 121, a smaller gap is reserved between the mounting piece of the sound receiver 131 on the lower end cover 122 and the panel 121, and the sound receiver 131 is thinner and smaller. In addition, a double-sided tape structure is generally added thereon to ensure the mounting strength. As a result, it is difficult to install the sound receiver 131 into the gap, and the installation is very inconvenient.
[0148] The present application adopts this method, that is, the sound receiver 131 can be installed on the lower cover 124 in advance, and then the lower cover 124 and the sound receiver 131 are installed as a whole on the lower end cover 122. The whole installation process is relatively simple, because the panel 121 at the bottom is directly attached to the lower end cover 122, and the sound receiver 131 is in close contact with the lower cover 124, so that the sound receiver 131, the lower cover 124, the lower end cover 122 and the panel 121 are in close contact, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of sound transmission.
[0149] In addition, it should be noted that the sound receiving component 131 is directly arranged on the lower cover 124, which simplifies the installation and fixing process, making the production and assembly more efficient. This design makes the maintenance and replacement of the sound receiving component 131 more convenient. The technician only needs to remove the lower cover 124 to easily access the sound receiving component 131, reducing the maintenance time and cost.
[0150] In some embodiments, the lower cover 124 can stably install the sound receiving component 131 in the first accommodating cavity 1221, and will not move with the opening and closing of the door body 120. The specific installation method can be installed in a detachable manner, which is also convenient for subsequent maintenance.
[0151] like Fig.10As shown, in some embodiments, the lower cover plate 124 has a first abutting surface 1241 abutting against the inner wall of the panel 121 .
[0152] like Fig.11 , Fig.14 and Fig.15 As shown, the lower cover 124 further has a second abutting surface 1242 abutting against the side surface of the sound receiving component 131 .
[0153] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: This design ensures the stability of the sound receiving component 131 in its position, prevents displacement caused by vibration or other factors during use, and thus maintains the long-term reliability of the system. The structural design of the first abutting surface 1241 and the second abutting surface 1242 ensures close contact between the sound receiving component 131 and the lower cover 124 and the panel 121, which can reduce the loss and interference of sound waves during transmission, improve the clarity and accuracy of sound transmission, and thus improve the effect of voice recognition.
[0154] It should be noted that the compact structural design can provide additional physical protection for the sound receiving component 131 to prevent damage to it by external impact or vibration. By designing a precise abutment surface, the installation process becomes simpler and more efficient, ensuring that the components can be quickly and accurately positioned during assembly.
[0155] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the panel 121 opens a first sound receiving hole 1211, which runs through the outer wall of the panel 121 and the inner wall of the panel 121.
[0156] like Fig.14 and Fig.15 As shown, the lower cover plate 124 defines a second sound receiving hole 1245 that penetrates the first abutting surface 1241 and the second abutting surface 1242 , and the second sound receiving hole 1245 is communicated with the first sound receiving hole 1211 .
[0157] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: through the connection design of the first sound receiving hole 1211 and the second sound receiving hole 1245, the sound can be transmitted more directly from the external environment to the sound receiving element 131, reducing the reflection and loss of the sound wave during the transmission process, and improving the clarity and accuracy of the voice input. This design helps to improve the quality of the sound signal captured by the sound receiving element 131, thereby improving the overall performance and response speed of the voice recognition system.
[0158] It should be noted that by accurately designing the size and position of the sound receiving hole, the interference of external noise can be effectively reduced and the anti-noise capability of the system can be enhanced. The design of the sound receiving hole can be coordinated with the overall appearance of the refrigerator 100, maintaining the aesthetics and consistency of the product without affecting the user's visual experience.
[0159] In some embodiments, when receiving sound, the sound receiving component 131 passes through the first sound receiving hole 1211 and then the second sound receiving hole 1245 from the outside to the inside.
[0160] The second sound receiving hole 1245 has the same aperture and position as the first sound receiving hole 1211 , thereby improving the quality of the sound signal captured by the sound receiving component 131 .
[0161] like Figures 6 to 15 As shown, in some embodiments, the sound receiving component 131 is attached to the second abutting surface 1242; and / or,
[0162] The lower cover 124 is provided with a first clamping member 1243, which protrudes from the second abutting surface 1242 and extends toward the sound receiving member 131. The sound receiving member 131 is provided with a first clamping groove 1311, and the first clamping member 1243 extends into the first clamping groove 1311 to clamp the sound receiving member 131 and the lower cover 124.
[0163] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by attaching the sound receiving component 131 to the second abutting surface 1242, and / or fixing it through a clamping structure (first clamping component 1243 and first clamping groove 1311), the stability of the sound receiving component 131 during use can be ensured to prevent displacement or loosening due to vibration or external force.
[0164] It should be noted that the stable installation method reduces the risk of wear and damage of the sound receiving element 131 during use, thereby improving the overall reliability and service life of the system. The stable installation method helps to reduce vibration and noise interference, ensure that the sound receiving element 131 can accurately capture sound signals, and improve the performance of speech recognition.
[0165] In some embodiments, the sound receiving component 131 can be installed on the lower cover 124 using double-sided tape and a clamping structure (first clamping component 1243 and first clamping groove 1311). The superposition of the two installation methods can further improve the installation stability.
[0166] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the first clip 1243 and the lower cover 124 are connected in an integrated manner, and in other embodiments, the first clip 1243 and the lower cover 124 can also be connected in other ways. As long as the connection method can fix the first clip 1243 and the lower cover 124, it can achieve the purpose of this embodiment. Here, there is no restriction on the connection method between the first clip 1243 and the lower cover 124.
[0167] In some embodiments, there are multiple first clamping members 1243 and first clamping slots 1311, which are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence to further improve the installation strength. The structure and shape can be adjusted according to actual conditions, and no further restrictions are imposed here.
[0168] In some embodiments, the first clamping member 1243 can be made of plastic (such as ABS or polycarbonate) which is light in weight, low in cost, and easy to process and mold. Plastic material has good corrosion resistance and insulation, and is suitable for applications that do not bear excessive mechanical stress.
[0169] Of course, the first clamping member 1243 can be made of engineering plastic (such as nylon or polyoxymethylene), which has high mechanical strength and wear resistance while maintaining a certain lightweight property.
[0170] In some embodiments, the first clamping member 1243 and the lower cover plate 124 are connected in an integral manner, which means that the first clamping member 1243 and the lower cover plate 124 are made of the same material, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing.
[0171] like Figures 6 to 15 As shown, in some embodiments, the lower cover plate 124 is provided with a second clamping member 1244, the lower end cover 122 is provided with a second clamping groove 1224, the second clamping member 1244 extends toward the lower end cover 122 and extends into the second clamping groove 1224, so that the lower cover plate 124 and the lower end cover 122 are clamped; and / or,
[0172] The voice interaction component 130 also includes a first fastener, and the lower cover plate 124 is fixed to the lower end cover 122 by the first fastener.
[0173] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by using the clamping structure (the second clamping member 1244 and the second clamping groove 1224) and / or the fastener, the lower cover 124 and the lower end cover 122 can be firmly connected to prevent loosening or displacement caused by vibration or external force during use. The stable connection reduces the risk of wear and damage between components, thereby improving the overall reliability and service life of the system.
[0174] It should be noted that the snap-on design makes the installation and disassembly process simpler and faster, and the assembly and disassembly of the components can be achieved without using complex tools, thereby improving production efficiency and maintenance convenience. Whether it is snap-on or fastener fixation, it makes it easy to disassemble and reinstall the lower cover plate 124 when it is necessary to maintain or replace it, reducing the difficulty and cost of maintenance.
[0175] In addition, it should be noted that the hidden snap-on and fastening design can keep the appearance of the refrigerator 100 simple and beautiful without affecting the overall design of the product and the user's visual experience.
[0176] In some embodiments, there are at least two first fasteners, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the lower cover plate 124 , and there are multiple clamping structures, which are respectively distributed in the middle area of the lower cover plate 124 .
[0177] It should be noted that the installation method between the lower cover plate 124 and the lower end cover 122 provided in the present application can improve stability, and the analysis is as follows: the two sides of the lower cover plate 124 are fixed by the first fasteners, and the middle position is fixed by the snap-on structure. The fixation is reliable and the disassembly is convenient, which can strengthen the reliability of the fixation of the lower cover plate 124.
[0178] Illustratively, a plurality of second clamping members 1244 are disposed in the middle portion of the lower cover plate 124 and are spaced apart from each other. The specific number of second clamping members 1244 may be adjusted according to actual conditions.
[0179] Correspondingly, the positions of the plurality of second snap-fitting grooves 1224 match the positions of the plurality of second snap-fitting members 1244 to enable the plurality of second snap-fitting grooves 1224 and the plurality of second snap-fitting members 1244 to be snap-fitted and installed one by one.
[0180] In some embodiments, the snap-fit design reduces the movement space of the lower cover 124 .
[0181] In some embodiments, the second clamping member 1244 can be made of plastic (such as ABS or polycarbonate) which is light, low cost, and easy to process. Plastic material has good corrosion resistance and insulation, and is suitable for applications that do not bear excessive mechanical stress.
[0182] Of course, the second clamping member 1244 can be made of engineering plastic (such as nylon or polyoxymethylene), which has high mechanical strength and wear resistance while maintaining a certain lightweight property.
[0183] In some embodiments, considering the cost of the first fastener, the first fastener may be a threaded fastener. Correspondingly, a first connecting hole is opened on the lower cover plate 124, and the first connecting hole may be a threaded hole. The first fastener may pass through the first connecting hole and may be tightened or loosened to adjust the fixing and disassembly states.
[0184] In addition, correspondingly, a second connecting hole is opened on the lower end cover 122, and the second connecting hole can also be a threaded hole. The first fastener can pass through the first connecting hole, and can be tightened or loosened to adjust the fixing and disassembly states.
[0185] Specifically, the first fastener passes through the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole in sequence and is tightened, thereby fixing the lower cover 124 to the lower end cover 122. Of course, when the lower cover 124 needs to be removed, it is only necessary to loosen the first fastener and then remove the first fastener from the second connecting hole and the first connecting hole in sequence.
[0186] In a specific embodiment, there may be two first connection holes, located on both sides of the length direction of the lower cover plate 124. It should be noted that when the lower cover plate 124 is provided with only one screw hole, other fixing methods may be used to ensure that the lower cover plate 124 is firmly connected to the lower end cover 122.
[0187] like Figures 6 to 15 As shown, in some embodiments, the lower end cover 122 is provided with a third clamping member 1225, the main control board 133 is provided with a third clamping groove 1331, the third clamping member 1225 extends toward the third clamping groove 1331 and extends into the third clamping groove 1331, so that the main control board 133 and the lower end cover 122 are clamped; and / or,
[0188] The voice interaction component 130 also includes a second fastener, and the main control board 133 is fixed to the lower end cover 122 through the second fastener.
[0189] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: through the use of the clamping structure (the third clamping member 1225 and the third clamping groove 1331) and / or the fastener, the main control board 133 and the lower end cover 122 can be firmly connected to prevent loosening or displacement caused by vibration or external force during operation. The stable connection method reduces the risk of wear and damage to the main control board 133 during use, thereby improving the overall reliability and service life of the system.
[0190] It should be noted that the snap-on design makes the installation and removal process of the main control board 133 simpler and faster, and the assembly and disassembly of the components can be achieved without using complex tools, thereby improving production efficiency and maintenance convenience. Whether it is snap-on or fastener fixing, it makes it easy to disassemble and reinstall the main control board 133 when it needs to be maintained or replaced, reducing the difficulty and cost of maintenance.
[0191] In some embodiments, there are multiple third clamping members 1225 and multiple third clamping slots 1331 to ensure the stability of the main control board 133 installed on the lower end cover 122 .
[0192] Exemplarily, the plurality of third clamping grooves 1331 are arranged in a circle along the outer circumference of the main control board 133 and are spaced apart from each other. The specific number can be adjusted according to actual conditions.
[0193] Correspondingly, the positions of the plurality of third clamping slots 1331 match the positions of the plurality of third clamping members 1225 to satisfy the requirement of snap-fitting installation of the plurality of third clamping slots 1331 and the plurality of third clamping members 1225 one by one.
[0194] In some embodiments, the material of the third clamping component 1225 may refer to the second clamping component 1244 described above, and will not be elaborated herein.
[0195] like Figures 6 to 15 As shown, in some embodiments, the door body 120 has a foaming chamber.
[0196] Among them, Fig.13 As shown, the lower end cover 122 is provided with an air hole 1226 , and the air hole 1226 is connected to the foaming chamber and the outside of the door body 120 .
[0197] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the presence of the air holes 1226 helps to balance the pressure inside and outside the foaming chamber during the foaming process, and prevents the door body 120 from being deformed or damaged due to the pressure difference. The air holes 1226 can help to discharge the excess gas generated during the foaming process, reduce the formation of bubble defects, and improve the structural integrity and aesthetics of the door body 120. The gas flow during the foaming process can be better controlled to ensure that the foaming material is evenly distributed, thereby improving the foaming quality and the thermal insulation performance of the door body 120.
[0198] In some embodiments, there may be one or multiple vent holes 1226 , depending on the actual situation.
[0199] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the upper end cover 123 defines a second opening, and the door body 120 further includes: an upper cover plate 125 , which covers the second opening, and the second opening is communicated with the second accommodating cavity 1233 .
[0200] The upper cover plate 125 is provided with a plurality of sound holes 1251 .
[0201] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by covering the second opening with the upper cover plate 125 to form a closed second accommodating cavity 1233, the sound-emitting component 132 can be effectively protected from external environmental influences, such as dust, moisture and physical damage, thereby improving its durability and reliability.
[0202] It should be noted that the design of multiple sound holes 1251 can spread the sound more evenly, making the audio output clearer and louder, and improving the user's auditory experience. In addition, by reasonably arranging the sound holes 1251, the reflection and interference of the sound during the propagation process can be reduced, the distortion can be reduced, and the sound quality can be improved.
[0203] In some embodiments, a sound mark may be provided at the sound hole 1251 to remind the user to pay attention to the sound position. The sound hole 1251 may be a plurality of small holes with a certain aperture evenly arranged. The sounding member 132 and the sound hole 1251 are arranged correspondingly, which can effectively improve the effect of outputting voice information.
[0204] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a first fixing column 1231 is provided on the upper end cover 123, and the voice interaction component 130 further includes a third fastener, and the upper cover plate 125 is fixed to the first fixing column 1231 via the third fastener.
[0205] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: through the combination of the fixing column and the third fastener, the upper cover plate 125 and the upper end cover 123 can be firmly connected to prevent loosening or displacement caused by vibration or external force during use. The fixing column provides a clear positioning point, making the installation process of the upper cover plate 125 simpler and more efficient, and reducing the time for alignment and adjustment.
[0206] In some embodiments, there are multiple fixing columns and third fasteners to improve the installation strength of the upper cover plate 125 .
[0207] In other embodiments, a second fixing column 1232 is provided on the upper end cover 123, and the voice interaction component 130 also includes a fourth fastener. The sound-emitting component 132 is fixed to the second fixing column 1232 by the fourth fastener. The installation method thereof can be referred to above and will not be elaborated here.
[0208] It should be noted that the third fastener and the fourth fastener may refer to the first fastener mentioned above, and will not be described in detail here.
[0209] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Fig.12 In some embodiments, the door body 120 further includes a door seal 126 located on a side facing away from the panel 121 .
[0210] A side of the lower end cover 122 facing away from the panel 121 is provided with an escape groove 1222 to accommodate at least a portion of the door seal 126 .
[0211] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the avoidance groove 1222 provides a special accommodating space for the door seal 126, ensuring that the door seal 126 can fully exert its sealing function, prevent cold air from leaking, and improve the energy efficiency and thermal insulation performance of the refrigerator 100.
[0212] In some embodiments, a receiving groove is provided on the door liner 128, and the door seal 126 is located in the receiving groove. The outer surface of the door seal 126 is slightly higher than the notch of the receiving groove. When the door body 120 closes the box body 110, the door body 120 is connected to the box body 110, and the door seal 126 contacts the box body 110. The door seal 126 seals the gap between the connecting part of the door body 120 and the box body 110.
[0213] It should be noted that due to the setting of the main control board 133, the first accommodating chamber 1221 needs to be sunken. Without changing the structure of the door seal 126, an avoidance groove 1222 can be formed at the lower end cover 122 to be recessed toward the side away from the door seal 126 to avoid the installation of the door seal 126.
