[0002] Refrigerators are the most commonly used household appliances in daily life and are an important link in the journey of fresh food from its place of production to the dining table. Therefore, people pay more and more attention to the fresh-keeping function of refrigerators. For a single-system air-cooled refrigerator, it has only one evaporator, and the air from the refrigerator and freezer will eventually pass through this evaporator. When different types of food are placed in the same refrigerator, they will release different odors. If these odors are not effectively isolated, they will mix with each other and affect each other's taste. The odorous gas in the refrigerator will not only cause sensory discomfort to people and deteriorate the original taste of the food, but will also pollute the indoor air when the refrigerator is turned on.
[0003] Single-system air-cooled refrigerators have only one circulation system for the refrigerator and freezer compartments due to their refrigeration characteristics. Through the action of the fan, the air flow will circulate between the refrigerator and freezer compartments, which may cause odor problems between the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
[0004] At present, in order to prevent the problem of odor contamination, one of the methods is to use a dual-system refrigerator. The dual-system refrigerator is equipped with an independent evaporator for refrigeration and freezing, and uses two refrigeration systems with independent circulation, which can better store food and prevent odor contamination. However, compared with a single-system refrigerator, a dual-system refrigerator has a larger volume, a higher price, and is more difficult to maintain. Utility Model Content
