[0060] It should be noted that the refrigerator 1000 provided by the embodiment of the present application can maintain a high humidity environment in the refrigeration mode.
[0061] In the embodiment, the water dispenser 130 is integrated on the door body 120, and the internal structure of the water dispenser 130 is not the focus of the improvement of the present application, that is, the internal control structure and pipeline arrangement of the water dispenser 130 can use the prior art. The door body 120 is provided with a mounting structure for mounting the water dispenser 130, for example, the shell of the water dispenser 130 is mounted in the mounting cavity of the door body 120, and the door body 120 hides the water dispenser 130, and only the water outlet 131 is exposed. In some embodiments, the control structure of the water dispenser 130 is electrically connected to the control system of the refrigerator 1000, and the water dispenser 130 is controlled by the control system of the refrigerator 1000, for example, when the user takes water, the control system of the refrigerator 1000 controls the water dispenser 130 to dispense water.
[0062] In the embodiment, the water dispenser 130 can be a separate module mounted on the door body 120; for example, the water dispenser 130 is divided into a water tank, a water outlet system, and a control circuit. In the embodiment, a suitable position is reserved on the door body 120 or inside the refrigerator 1000, and the water tank is fixedly installed. For example, some refrigerators 1000 are provided with a special clamping groove or fixing bracket on the inner side of the door body, so that the water tank is clamped or hung thereon, ensuring stable position and facilitating taking out the water tank from the door of the refrigerator 1000 for water filling and cleaning. The connection part of the water tank and the refrigerator 1000 is generally provided with a sealing washer or sealing ring to prevent water leakage. The water outlet system includes a water outlet 131 and a water outlet rod and other water outlet components. The water outlet 131 is usually installed on the outer side of the door body 120 to facilitate water taking, and is connected with the water tank through a pipeline. The water outlet rod is connected with the water outlet 131, and pressing or pulling the water outlet rod can control the water outlet 131 to dispense water. In some other embodiments, the refrigerator 1000 is also provided with a sensing device, which can automatically dispense water when a cup is close or dispense water through voice instructions. If the water dispenser 130 has a refrigeration or heating function, a corresponding control circuit and sensor are installed inside the refrigerator 1000. The control circuit is generally connected with the main control board of the refrigerator 1000, and the temperature and other parameters of the water dispenser 130 can be set through the control panel of the refrigerator 1000 or a separate control button. The sensor is used to monitor the water level and water temperature of the water tank to ensure the normal operation of the water dispenser 130.
[0063] In one embodiment, the door 120 can be rotatably connected to the housing 110 via a hinge mechanism, opening or closing the receiving cavity by rotation; the door 120 can also be movably connected to the housing 110 via a sliding mechanism, opening or closing the receiving cavity by sliding. In other embodiments, the door 120 can be configured as a drawer-type door, with part of the door 120 configured as a storage space and slidably positioned within the refrigerated inner liner 150.
[0064] In some embodiments, the refrigerator 1000 further includes a freezer liner 170 disposed within a receiving cavity and spaced apart from the refrigerator liner 150. In an embodiment, the refrigerator liner 150 is disposed above the freezer liner 170.
[0065] In some embodiments, the water inlet pipe assembly is sealed to the water storage structure 151 to prevent leakage. In some embodiments, both the door 120 and the refrigerator liner 150 are provided with mounting spaces for the water inlet pipe assembly. For example, the water inlet pipe assembly includes a water inlet pipe, and the door 120 and the refrigerator liner 150 are respectively provided with mounting holes for the water inlet pipe. Alternatively, the water inlet pipe assembly may also include a valve or a water pump, and the door 120 or the refrigerator liner 150 is respectively provided with accommodating spaces for the valve or water pump. Furthermore, in some embodiments, since the door 120 is movable, to reduce the range of motion of the water inlet pipe, the water inlet pipe can be fixed to or located near a hinge or sliding mechanism.
[0066] As an optional implementation of the above embodiments, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the water receiving box 140 includes a box body 141 and a box cover 142; the box body 141 forms a water storage cavity, which is connected to the water storage structure 151 through the water inlet pipe assembly 160; the box cover 142 is located on the top of the box body 141 and is positioned directly opposite the water inlet, and has a drain hole 143 connecting the outside to the water storage cavity. In this embodiment, water dripping from the water inlet or water released from the water inlet enters the water storage cavity through the drain hole 143, and the water storage cavity transports water to the water storage structure 151 through the water inlet pipe assembly 160.
[0067] In this embodiment, the housing 141 is provided with a pipe interface, which is sealed to the water inlet pipe assembly.
[0068] In this embodiment, the water outlet is positioned directly opposite the lid 142. This can be understood as the vertical projection of the water outlet being on the lid 142. On one hand, when the user is filling the container with water, the lid 142 supports the water receiving device, causing the water outlet to align with the opening of the water receiving device. On the other hand, when the refrigerator inner liner 150 needs to be humidified, the water droplets released from the water outlet fall onto the lid 142 and leak into the water storage cavity through the drain hole 143.
[0069] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 The water leakage hole 143 is formed on the first part 1421, and the first part 1421 is arranged opposite to the water outlet; and the second part 1422 is overlapped on the door body 120. The second part 1422 overlapped on the door body 120 can constrain the box cover 142, which is conducive to the positioning and stability of the water receiving box 140. The water leakage hole 143 arranged on the first part 1421 opposite to the water outlet makes water easily enter the water storage cavity.
[0070] In some embodiments, the box cover 142 is formed with a water blocking strip on the periphery edge thereof, and the water blocking strip is arranged protruding from the first part 1421 and the second part 1422, so as to reduce water overflow.
[0071] In some embodiments, the surfaces of the first part 1421 and the second part 1422 towards the water outlet are coplanar and horizontal, which is convenient for the user to place the kettle, cup, etc.
[0072] In some embodiments, the first part 1421 is arranged with a supporting surface opposite to the water outlet, and the supporting surface is lower than the outer surface of the first part 1421, which is used for placing the kettle, cup, etc. Some water leakage holes 143 are formed from the supporting surface to the inside of the water storage cavity, which is convenient for receiving water discharged from the water outlet or water dripping.
[0073] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, in combination with Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in the above embodiments, the door body 120 has an outer side surface 121 and a placing groove S1 formed by recessing from the outer side surface 121 to the inner side thereof. The placing groove S1 has a side wall S11 arranged in the front-rear direction and a supporting block 123 protruding from the side wall S11 to the outside, and the supporting block 123 does not protrude from the outer side surface 121; the supporting block 123 has a first limiting surface 1232 in the front-rear direction and a second limiting surface 1231 in the up-down direction. The water receiving box 140 is arranged in the placing groove S1, and the second part 1422 abuts against the second limiting surface 1231, and the box body 141 abuts against the first limiting surface 1232. In an embodiment, the water receiving box 140 is embedded in the placing groove S1, so as to avoid that the arrangement of the water receiving box 140 occupies the external space of the refrigerator 1000. The water receiving box 140 is positioned in the up-down direction and the front-rear direction by the supporting block 123 in the placing groove S1, which is convenient for the user to assemble the water receiving box 140 in place, and avoids that water is discharged from the water receiving box 140 due to improper assembly.
[0074] In an embodiment, the width (dimension in the left-right direction) of the placement slot S1 is adapted to the width (dimension in the left-right direction) of the water storage box 140, and the placement slot S1 is capable of being limited in the up-down, left-right, and front-rear directions.
[0075] In an embodiment, the box body 141 can be detachably fixed to the door body 120. For example, a clamping groove is arranged at the edge of the placement slot S1, and the box body 141 is configured with a clamping buckle that is adapted to the clamping groove and cooperates with the clamping groove. For another example, a supporting groove is formed in the bottom wall of the placement slot S1, and the box body 141 is clamped into the supporting groove for fixation.
[0076] In an embodiment, the placement slot S1 has a top wall S12 arranged in the up-down direction, and the water outlet 131 is arranged on the top wall S12.
[0077] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, the box body 141 is a heat-conducting member. In an embodiment, the box body 141 is a heat-conducting member, so that the water inside the box body 141 can absorb heat from the outside, and when the water enters the refrigeration liner 150, it can be quickly evaporated and quickly humidified. For example, the heat-conducting member can be a heat-conducting alloy member (such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy), and can also be ceramic, glass, etc.
[0078] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, the box body 141 is detachably connected with the box cover 142. In an embodiment, the box body 141 is detachably connected with the box cover 142, so that the inside of the box body 141 can be cleaned. For example, the box body 141 is buckled with the box cover 142; or a insertion hole is arranged on the box body 141, and a insertion column is arranged on the box cover 142 and inserted into the insertion hole.
[0079] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 As shown in the drawings, the door body 120 is provided with a bottle holder 132 for placing a water storage box; the bottle holder 132 is formed with a water outlet hole for communicating with the water outlet 131; the water storage box placed on the bottle holder 132 is in communication with the water outlet hole to supply water to the water outlet 131. The water storage box is adapted to the supporting cavity of the bottle holder 132, and when the water storage box is placed on the bottle holder 132, the water storage box is communicated to the water channel in the water dispenser 130 through the water outlet hole, and the water channel is in communication with the water outlet 131.
[0080] In an embodiment, the bottle holder 132 can be integrally formed on the inner side surface 122 of the door body 120.
[0081] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, the water inlet pipe assembly 160 includes a hose or a telescopic pipe. In the embodiment, the door body 120 is movable relative to the refrigeration liner 150. Therefore, the water inlet pipe of the water inlet pipe assembly 160 is in the form of a hose or a telescopic pipe, so that the water inlet pipe can be adaptively moved when the door body 120 is moved, thereby avoiding the movement of the door body 120 from being stuck due to the constraint of the water inlet pipe.
[0082] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The water storage structure 151 is arranged on the bottom surface of the refrigeration liner 150 and is in the form of a water storage groove formed inward of the refrigeration liner 150. In the embodiment, the water storage groove is recessed inward from the bottom surface of the refrigeration liner 150, and the opening of the water storage groove is located on the surface of the refrigeration liner 150, so as to facilitate the evaporation of water in the water storage groove.
[0083] Based on the refrigerator 1000 provided in the above embodiment, the present embodiment further provides a fresh-keeping control method applied to the refrigerator 1000 provided in the above embodiment. The fresh-keeping control method refers to a flowchart as shown in Figure 7 The fresh-keeping control method includes the following steps.

[0091] As an optional implementation of the above-mentioned embodiments, the water inlet pipe assembly 160 includes a water inlet control valve, and controlling the water inlet pipe assembly 160 to be in a water inlet state includes:
[0092] Controlling the water inlet control valve to be in an open state.
[0093] That is, when the refrigerator 1000 is in a refrigeration refrigeration operation, the water inlet control valve needs to be in an open state, so that the water entering the water receiving box 140 flows into the water storage structure 151 through the water inlet pipe or the water outlet of the water outlet port can flow into the water storage structure 151 through the water receiving box 140 and the water inlet pipe.
[0094] In addition, the water inlet control valve is in a normally closed state, which avoids that the water in the water receiving box 140 is discharged into the water storage structure 151 when humidification is not needed, causing the refrigeration liner 150 to be in an environment with super-high humidity, and reducing the freshness of food. For example, after the user finishes receiving water, a small amount of water will drop into the water receiving box 140, and this part of water is temporarily stored in the water receiving box 140, and because the water inlet control valve is in a normally closed state, it will not be directly discharged into the water storage structure 151.
[0095] As an optional implementation of the above-mentioned embodiments, the humidification control method further includes:
[0096] Obtaining the water storage amount in the water storage structure 151;
[0097] When the water storage amount reaches a preset water amount, controlling the water inlet pipe assembly 160 to stop water inlet and / or the water dispenser 130 to stop water discharging.
[0098] In this embodiment, during water intake, the water volume in the water storage structure 151 is monitored in real time. When the water volume reaches the preset water volume, that is, when water intake is completed in the water storage structure 151, the water inlet pipe assembly 160 is controlled to stop water intake and / or the water dispenser 130 stops dispensing water.
[0099] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the preset water volume is correlated with the average humidity inside the refrigerator liner 150. That is, the average humidity of the refrigerator liner 150 is obtained, and the preset water volume is determined based on the average humidity. The average humidity reflects the humidity level inside the refrigerator liner 150; for example, if the average humidity is low, more water needs to be added; if the average humidity is high, relatively less water needs to be added. In other words, the average humidity and the preset water volume are negatively correlated.
[0100] In this embodiment, if the preset water volume exceeds the capacity of the water storage structure 151, the water inlet pipe assembly 160 is controlled to be in a water-inlet state multiple times to deliver water into the water storage structure 151, and / or the water dispenser 130 is controlled to be in a water-dispensing state to deliver water into the water storage structure 151. The number of times is determined based on the capacity and the preset water volume, with each water intake being less than the capacity. For example, if the preset water volume is xL and the capacity is yL, and x is greater than y, the number of times is equal to the first integer greater than x / y, and the water intake each time is x / time, thus preventing water overflow. For example, if the preset water volume is 0.8L and the capacity is 0.6L, and x is greater than y, the number of times is equal to the first integer greater than 0.8 / 0.6, i.e., 2 times, and the water intake each time is 0.4L, thus preventing water overflow.
[0101] As an optional implementation of the above embodiments, the water storage structure 151 is further connected to a drain pipe assembly 180;
[0102] The moisturizing control method further includes:
[0103] When the refrigeration is in the off state, the drain pipe assembly 180 is controlled to be in the open state so as to drain the remaining water in the water storage structure 151 to the outside of the refrigeration liner 150.
[0104] In this embodiment, when the refrigerator is shut down, that is, when the air in the refrigerator liner 150 no longer exchanges heat with the evaporator, the evaporator begins to defrost and the humidity of the refrigerator liner 150 increases. At this time, the drain pipe assembly 180 is opened to drain the remaining water in the water storage structure 151 to the outside of the refrigerator liner 150.
[0105] In an embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the water storage structure 151 is connected to the drain pipe assembly 180. The connecting pipe assembly includes a drain pipe and a drain control valve, with the drain control valve located on the drain pipe. The drain pipe extends from the water storage structure 151 to the water receiving tray along the direction of gravity, and the remaining water is drained to the water receiving tray by gravity.
