[0098] For example, the first sensor 510 is fixedly disposed on the top of the air duct cover plate 410.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first sensor 510 is disposed on the inner wall of the first chamber 310.

[0100] In some embodiments, the first blower 421 is further configured to be started or stopped according to the temperature of the first chamber 310 detected by the first sensor 510.

[0101] At the initial stage of refrigeration, the first blower 421 is started. As refrigeration progresses, the temperature in the first chamber 310 decreases. When the temperature of the first chamber 310 drops to a first set value, for example, -18 °C, the first blower 421 is stopped.

[0105] In some embodiments, the second sensor 520 is disposed on the inner wall of the second chamber 320.

[0106] In some embodiments, the second sensor 520 is disposed on the air duct cover plate 410 to fixedly install the second sensor 520 in the second chamber 320.

[0107] For example, the second sensor 520 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the air duct cover plate 410.

[0108] In some embodiments, the second blower 422 is further configured to start or stop according to the temperature of the second compartment 320 detected by the second sensor 520.

[0109] At the initial stage of refrigeration, the second blower 422 starts. As refrigeration progresses, the temperature in the second compartment 320 decreases. When the temperature in the second compartment 320 drops to a third set value, such as -2 °C, the second blower 422 stops. When the temperature in the second compartment 320 rises to a fourth set value, such as 5 °C, the second blower 422 starts.

[0110] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 10 , at the initial stage of refrigeration, the first blower 421 and the second blower 422 start;

[0111] As refrigeration progresses, the temperature in the first compartment 310 decreases. The first sensor 510 detects the temperature in the first compartment 310. If the temperature in the first compartment 310 drops to a first set value, the first blower 421 stops; if the temperature in the first compartment 310 has not dropped to the first set value, the first blower 421 continues to rotate;

[0112] If the temperature in the first compartment 310 rises to a second set value, the first blower 421 restarts;

[0113] As refrigeration progresses, the temperature in the second compartment 320 decreases. The second sensor 520 detects the temperature in the second compartment 320. If the temperature in the second compartment 320 drops to a third set value, the second blower 422 stops;

[0114] If the temperature in the second compartment 320 has not dropped to the third set value, the second blower 422 continues to rotate;

[0115] If the temperature in the second compartment 320 rises to a fourth set value, the second blower 422 restarts.

[0116] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , a first opening is provided at the top of the upper one of the first compartment 310 and the second compartment 320, and a second opening is provided at the side of the lower one.

[0117] For example, the first compartment 310 is located above the second compartment 320. A first opening is provided at the top of the first compartment 310, and a second opening is provided at the front side of the second compartment 320.

[0118] The refrigerator also includes a first door body 610, and the first door body 610 is configured to close or open the first opening.

[0119] The refrigerator also includes a second door body 620, and the second door body 620 is configured to close or open the second opening.

[0120] The upper compartment (e.g., the first compartment 310) has an upward-opening door, and the lower compartment (e.g., the second compartment 320) has a front-opening door, which is convenient for users to access items and improves the user experience.

[0121] In some embodiments, the first door body 610 is a hinged door or a sliding door, etc. The second door body 620 is a rotating door.

[0122] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 7 , a third opening 433 is further provided on the air duct cover plate 410, and the third opening 433 communicates with the first compartment 310.

[0123] The setting of the third opening 433 enables the natural flow of air between the first compartment 310 and the second compartment 320. When the temperatures in the first compartment 310 and the second compartment 320 reach the set values, the first fan 421 and the second fan 422 are turned off, and at this time, the air between the first compartment 310 and the second compartment 320 realizes natural flow through the third opening 433 and the air duct 440.

[0124] For example, when the first door body 610 is opened, the air in the first compartment 310 communicates with the outside. Through the third opening 433 and the air duct 440, the first compartment 310 and the second compartment 320 also communicate, achieving the balance of the air pressure inside the box and the outside air pressure, which is convenient for opening the door body.

[0125] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , the position of the third opening 433 near the lower part of the first compartment 310 helps to accelerate the air flow exchange.

[0126] For example, the first compartment 310 and the second compartment 320 are separated by a foam partition 210, and the third opening 433 is arranged close to the foam partition 210.

[0127] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , the refrigeration module 700 includes an evaporator 710, and the evaporator 710 is wound around the inner container 200 to adjust the temperature of the first compartment 310.

[0128] The refrigeration module 700 further includes a compressor, a condenser, and an expansion valve. The refrigeration cycle includes a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation to refrigerate the first compartment 310.

[0129] The low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant enters the compressor, and the compressor compresses it into a refrigerant gas in a high-temperature and high-pressure state and discharges the compressed refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, and the heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process.

[0130] The expansion valve expands the liquid-phase refrigerant in a high-temperature and high-pressure state formed by condensation in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid-phase refrigerant. The evaporator 710 evaporates the refrigerant expanded in the expansion valve and returns the refrigerant gas in a low-temperature and low-pressure state to the compressor. The evaporator 710 can achieve a refrigeration effect by exchanging heat with the first chamber 310 by utilizing the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant.
