[0042] 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 an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components.

[0045] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the structure of the refrigeration system in the refrigerator provided by the embodiment of the utility model, the refrigeration system includes a compressor 1, an evaporator 2, a drying filter (not shown in the figure), a capillary tube 3, a condenser 4 and a gas-liquid separator (not shown in the figure). The working process of the refrigeration system includes a compression process, a condensation process, a throttling process and an evaporation process. Among them, the compression process is: plug in the power cord of the refrigerator, when the contacts of the thermostat are connected, the compressor 1 starts to work, the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant is sucked into the compressor 1, and is compressed into a high-temperature and high-pressure superheated gas in the cylinder of the compressor 1 and then discharged to the condenser 4; the condensation process is: the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas dissipates heat through the condenser 4, the temperature continues to drop, and is gradually cooled to a saturated vapor of normal temperature and high pressure, and is further cooled to a saturated liquid, and the temperature no longer drops. The temperature at this time is called the condensation temperature, and the pressure of the refrigerant remains almost unchanged during the entire condensation process; The flow process is as follows: the saturated liquid refrigerant after condensation is filtered out of moisture and impurities by a drying filter and then flows into the capillary tube 3 through which the refrigerant is throttled and depressurized to become wet steam at room temperature and low pressure; the evaporation process is as follows: the wet steam at room temperature and low pressure begins to absorb heat and vaporize in the evaporator 2, which not only reduces the temperature of the evaporator 2 and its surroundings, but also turns the refrigerant into a low-temperature and low-pressure gas. The refrigerant coming out of the evaporator 2 passes through the gas-liquid separator and then returns to the compressor 1, repeating the above process to transfer the heat in the refrigerator to the air outside the box, thereby achieving the purpose of refrigeration.

The condenser 4 and the compressor 1 are arranged at intervals in the left and right directions. A protruding fixing column is formed on the bottom plate of the evaporating dish 6, and the bottom end of the condenser 4 is fixed to the fixing column directly or through a connecting piece, so that the condenser 4 is fixed in the evaporating dish 6, and the bottom end of the condenser 4 can be higher than the liquid level of the defrosting water in the evaporating dish 6.

[0055] The heating module 70 is arranged in the refrigerated air supply duct, and the distance between the heating module 70 and the electric damper 60 is less than a preset first distance threshold; that is, the heating module 70 is arranged close to the electric damper 60, and when the heating module 70 is started, the high temperature will melt the ice / frost on the electric damper 60; it is worth noting that the first distance threshold can be set according to an empirical value, and the utility model does not make a specific limitation on this, but it is necessary to ensure that the setting position of the heating module 70 does not affect the rotation of the electric damper 60, and the electric damper 60 can be thawed quickly;
