[0058] When the temperature inside the refrigerating chamber 210 is much lower than the temperature of the environment outside the refrigerating chamber 210, if the humidity of the external air is high, when the door 100 is opened, the humid air outside the refrigerating chamber 210 will enter the refrigerating chamber 210 and come into contact with the low-temperature surface near the door 100, which is prone to condensation, resulting in condensed water on the door 100.

[0059] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a water receiving groove 410 is provided on the top of the front cover 400 , and the water receiving groove 410 is arranged corresponding to the cabinet door 100 so that the condensed water generated on the cabinet door 100 can drip into the water receiving groove 410 , thereby preventing the condensed water from flowing to the bottom of the cabinet 200 .

[0060] By arranging the water receiving groove 410 at the top of the front cover 400 , the front cover 400 is not only used to close the opening of the equipment cavity, but also used to receive the condensed water dripping from the cabinet door 100 .

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, the water receiving tank 410 is provided with a water collection port 411 , and the water collection port 411 is connected to a drain pipe 600 , so that the condensed water in the water receiving tank 410 can be drained through the water collection port 411 via the drain pipe 600 .

[0062] It should be noted that at least a portion of the drain pipe 600 is disposed in the equipment cavity 220 to hide the drain pipe 600 and ensure the overall aesthetics of the refrigerator.

[0063] In order to increase the drainage effect of the water receiving trough 410, as Figure 7 and Fig.10 As shown, the bottom of the water receiving tank 410 is a structure with a low middle and high sides, and the water collection port 411 is arranged at the lower part of the water receiving tank 410. By designing the water receiving tank 410 as a V-shaped structure with a low middle and high sides, and arranging the water collection port 411 at the lower part of the water receiving tank 410, the condensed water dripping on the water receiving tank 410 can flow into the water collection port 411 under the action of gravity.

The front cover cavity is used to hide the support leg 500 to ensure the overall aesthetics of the refrigerator.

[0073] It should be noted that the mounting member 240 is disposed in the front cover cavity.

[0074] The principle of collecting condensed water in the above-mentioned refrigerator that can collect condensed water from the door body is as follows: when the door 100 is opened to take out and place medical supplies, the humid air outside the cold storage room 210 will enter the cold storage room 210 and contact the door 100, which will easily cause condensed water to be generated on the door 100. In the process of closing the door 100, the side of the door 100 away from its rotation axis gradually approaches the front side of the box body 200, and the condensed water drips along the door 100, and at least part of the condensed water drips into the water receiving groove 410. After the condensed water drips into the water receiving groove 410, it flows into the water collection port 411 under the action of gravity and is discharged through the drain pipe 600.

[0075] The above-mentioned refrigerator capable of collecting condensed water from the door body is provided with a water receiving groove 410 on the top of the front cover 400 to receive the condensed water dripping from the door 100, and a water collecting port 411 is provided on the water receiving groove 410, so that the water collecting port 411 is connected to the drain pipe 600, so that the condensed water in the water receiving groove 410 can be drained through the drain pipe 600 through the water collecting port 411, thereby preventing the condensed water from flowing to the bottom of the refrigerator; the condensed water is easy to collect and the overall structure is simple.

[0076] Finally, it should be noted that: the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.
