[0008] A door body, which is rotatably installed on the box body and is used to open and close the receiving cavity;

[0009] A cover plate, which is installed in the receiving cavity;

[0010] A drawer, which is slidably installed in the receiving cavity in the front-back direction and is located below the cover plate, and the drawer is provided with a first accommodating space with a top opening; and

[0011] A lighting assembly;

[0012] Wherein, at least part of the front panel of the drawer is transparent, and the lighting assembly is installed at the front end of the cover plate and is used to emit light downward through the transparent part of the front panel to illuminate the first accommodating space.

[0013] Beneficial effects: The box body serves as a container for the inner liner and can be used to hold the inner liner. The heat insulation of the refrigerator is achieved through the heat insulation material between the two. The accommodating cavity of the inner liner allows users to put items in. The rotational connection between the door body and the box body simply and conveniently realizes the opening and closing of the accommodating cavity. The cover plate in the accommodating cavity and the bottom accommodating cavity form a compartment. The drawer is placed in the compartment and can be pulled out and put back in the compartment. Users can put items in the first accommodating space of the drawer to separate the compartment from the rest of the accommodating cavity. The lighting component is located at the front end of the cover plate, and its downward light emission can illuminate the first accommodating space. Also, since the front panel of the drawer has a transparent part, after the user opens the door body and the lighting component emits light downward, the user can see the items in the compartment through the front panel of the drawer, achieving the purpose of enabling the user to simply and conveniently view the items in the refrigerator compartment.

[0014] In some embodiments of the present application, a light guide plate is further included. The light guide plate is installed on the drawer and is a transparent plate. The light guide plate is located in the first accommodating space and is arranged below the lighting component for irradiating the light of the lighting component on the front panel.

[0015] Beneficial effects: The setting of the light guide plate can direct the light emitted by the lighting component at the top, direct part of the light towards the front panel of the drawer, making the front panel of the drawer receive stronger light irradiation, enabling the user to more clearly see the situation in the refrigerator compartment, and since the light guide plate is a transparent plate, it will not block the user's line of sight.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present application, the front end of the cover plate is provided with an installation hole that penetrates up and down.

[0048] In the description of this application, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "connection" 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 directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific situations.

[0049] As a commonly used electrical appliance in daily life, the refrigerator is now widely used. Users can store food in the refrigerator to prevent food spoilage.

[0050] In this embodiment, the refrigerator includes a cabinet 1 and an inner liner 2.

[0051] The cabinet 1 is used to form the overall appearance of the refrigerator. The cabinet 1 is generally in the shape of a cuboid frame. The top and bottom of the cabinet 1 are opposite ends. The height direction of the cabinet 1 is from the top to the bottom of the cabinet 1. The left and right sides of the cabinet 1 are opposite sides. The width direction of the cabinet 1 is from the left side to the right side of the cabinet 1. The front and back sides of the cabinet 1 are opposite sides. The thickness direction of the cabinet 1 is from the front side to the back side of the cabinet 1. The inner liner 2 is arranged inside the cabinet 1.

[0052] Inside the inner liner 2, there is a refrigerating chamber for placing items. The refrigerating chamber is provided with a chamber opening, and the chamber opening is oriented towards the front side of the cabinet 1. The refrigerating chamber can be in a refrigerating temperature environment, a freezing temperature environment, or a normal temperature environment. A door body 3 is provided at the chamber opening. The door body 3 is arranged in a straight plate shape on the front side of the cabinet 1. The door body 3 is pivotally connected to the cabinet 1 to open or close the refrigerating chamber.

[0053] It can be understood that the refrigerator further includes a refrigeration system and a ventilation system. The refrigeration system is installed inside the cabinet 1 and is used to supply cold air to the refrigerating chamber. The refrigeration system generally refers to a closed system composed of components such as a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser, a dryer filter, a return pipe, and a throttling device, as well as a refrigerant. Each component is distributed at different positions in the cabinet 1 according to its structural characteristics to meet the requirements of its corresponding functions. The working process of the refrigeration system mainly includes a compression process, a condensation process, a throttling process, and an evaporation process. The compression process is as follows: After plugging in the power cord of the refrigerator, when the contacts of the thermostat are closed, the compressor starts to work. The low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant from the evaporator is sucked into the compressor and is compressed into a high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas by the action of the compressor and then discharged into the condenser. The condensation process is as follows: The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas exchanges heat with the external environment through the condenser, the temperature drops, and it is gradually cooled to a normal-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant saturated vapor and then cooled to a refrigerant saturated liquid. The throttling process is as follows: The condensed refrigerant saturated liquid flows into the throttling device after being filtered of moisture and impurities by the dryer filter, and is throttled and depressurized through the throttling device, and the refrigerant becomes a normal-temperature and low-pressure wet vapor. The evaporation process: The normal-temperature and low-pressure wet vapor enters the evaporator, starts to absorb heat and vaporize, reduces the temperature of the evaporator and its surroundings, realizes refrigeration, and makes the refrigerant become a low-temperature and low-pressure gas. The refrigerant coming out of the evaporator returns to the compressor again, repeating the above process. Through the state change of the refrigerant, energy conversion is carried out, and the heat inside the refrigerator is transferred to the air outside the box, thereby realizing the refrigeration cycle of the refrigerator.

[0054] The air supply system is installed in the box body 1 and is used to provide power for the cold air flow. Generally, the air supply system includes a fan and a diversion cavity. In some embodiments, the air inlet end of the diversion cavity is arranged close to the fan, and the air outlet end of the diversion cavity is arranged far from the fan. In other embodiments, the air outlet end of the diversion cavity is arranged close to the fan, and the air inlet end of the diversion cavity is arranged far from the fan. The fan drives the air in the diversion cavity. The evaporator is correspondingly arranged in the diversion cavity. The cold air cooled by the evaporator flows along the diversion cavity under the drive of the fan. The cold air passes through the installation space formed between the inner liner 2 and the box body 1 and finally enters the refrigerator compartment to refrigerate the refrigerator compartment.

[0055] Based on the above structure, as Figures 1 - 11 shown, the present application provides a refrigerator, including: a box body 1, an inner liner 2, a door body 3, a cover plate 4, a drawer 5 and a lighting assembly 6. The inner liner 2 is installed in the box body 1, and the inner liner 2 is provided with a receiving cavity 21 with a front-side opening. The door body 3 is rotatably installed on the box body 1 and is used to open and close the receiving cavity 21. The cover plate 4 is installed in the receiving cavity 21. The drawer 5 is slidably installed in the receiving cavity 21 back and forth and is located below the cover plate 4. The drawer 5 is provided with a first accommodation space 52 with a top opening. Wherein, at least a part of the front panel 51 of the drawer 5 is transparent, and the lighting assembly 6 is installed at the front end of the cover plate 4 and is used to emit light downward to penetrate the transparent part of the front panel 51 to illuminate the first accommodation space 52.

[0056] Based on the above technical solution, the refrigerator box body 1 of the present application serves as a container for the inner liner 2 and can be used to accommodate the inner liner 2. The heat insulation of the refrigerator is realized through the heat insulation material between the two. The receiving cavity 21 of the inner liner 2 can be used by users to put items. The rotational connection between the door body 3 and the box body 1 simply and conveniently realizes the opening and closing of the receiving cavity 21. The cover plate 4 in the receiving cavity 21 and the bottom receiving cavity 21 form a compartment. The drawer 5 is placed in the compartment and can be pulled and put back in the compartment. Users can put items in the first accommodation space 52 of the drawer 5 to separate the compartment from the rest of the receiving cavity 21. The lighting assembly 6 is located at the front end of the cover plate 4, and its downward light emission can illuminate the first accommodation space 52. Also, because the front panel 51 of the drawer 5 has a transparent part, when the user opens the door body 3, the lighting assembly 6 emits light downward, and the user can see the items in the compartment through the front panel 51 of the drawer 5, achieving the purpose of enabling the user to simply and conveniently view the items in the refrigerator compartment.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, as Figures 4 - 7As shown, the refrigerator further includes a light guide plate 7. The light guide plate 7 is installed on the drawer 5 and is a transparent plate. The light guide plate 7 is located in the first accommodation space 52 and is disposed below the light emitting component 6 for irradiating the light of the light emitting component 6 on the front panel 51. The setting of the light guide plate 7 can direct the light emitted by the top light emitting component 6, and direct part of the light to the front panel 51 of the drawer 5, so that the front panel 51 of the drawer 5 receives stronger light, enabling the user to see the situation in the refrigerator compartment more clearly. And since the light guide plate 7 is a transparent plate, it will not block the user's line of sight. It should be noted that the light guide plate 7 can replace the internal baffle of the drawer 5. The light guide plate 7 can be a plate made of light guide material, or an LGF covered on the outer surface of ABS material. Among them, ABS is a plastic material with good comprehensive performance and low price. LGF is a light guide film, which has the characteristics of ultra-thin and uniform light emission. Covering LGF on the surface of ABS can be a deformation of the light guide material and can also play a role in guiding light.

[0058] Specifically, as Figures 4 - 6 and Figures 8 - 11 shown, a vertically penetrating mounting hole 41 is formed at the front end of the cover plate 4. The light emitting component 6 is installed in the mounting hole 41. The top end of the light guide plate 7 is disposed close to the bottom end of the light emitting component 6, and the distance between the top end of the light guide plate 7 directly below the light emitting component 6 and the bottom end of the light emitting component 6 is 3 mm - 5 mm. The vertically penetrating mounting hole 41 allows the light emitting component 6 to pass through, enabling the light emitting component 6 to smoothly send light into the first accommodation space 52, and at the same time can provide a mounting position for the light emitting component 6, making it simple and convenient to install on the cover plate 4. At the same time, since the light guide plate 7 is close to the light emitting component 6, the top light emitting component 6 can directly irradiate the light guide plate 7. A large amount of the light emitted by the light emitting component 6 will directly enter the light guide plate 7 and be directed to the front panel 51 of the drawer 5 according to the setting method of the light guide plate 7. It should be clear that the distance between the light emitting component 6 and the light guide plate 7 should be as small as possible to achieve better light guiding effect. However, in order to avoid interference between the drawer 5 and the light emitting component 6, the gap between the light emitting component 6 and the light guide plate 7 is preferably 3 mm - 5 mm.

[0059] More specifically, as Figure 6 and Figures 8 - 10As shown, the light-emitting component 6 includes a lamp cover 61 and a lamp board 62. The lamp cover 61 is installed on the cover plate 4 and is located within the mounting hole 41. The top of the lamp cover 61 is open, and the lamp board 62 is installed within the lamp cover 61. The lamp board 62 can be installed within the lamp cover 61 to protect the lamp board 62. At the same time, the lamp cover 61 can make the light emitted by the lamp board 62 shine downward more evenly. When installing the lamp board 62, the lamp board 62 can be inserted through the top opening of the lamp cover 61, with the light-emitting part of the lamp board 62 facing downward, so that the light can shine on the lamp cover 61 and then shine downward.

[0060] More specifically, as Figures 2 - 6 shown, it further includes a mounting plate 8. The mounting plate 8 is installed above the cover plate 4 and is snap-connected to the cover plate 4 in the vertical direction. The bottom of the mounting plate 8 is provided with a first snap 81, and the first snap 81 abuts against the top of the lamp board 62. On the one hand, the mounting plate 8 can play a role in protecting the cover plate 4. Since it is installed on the upper part of the cover plate 4, the impact from the top will be absorbed by the mounting plate 8 first and then transmitted to the cover plate 4, avoiding damage to the cover plate 4. On the other hand, the mounting plate 8 can play a role in limiting the position. The first snap 81 at the bottom of the mounting plate 8 can abut against the top of the lamp board 62. After the lamp board 62 is installed into the lamp cover 61 from the top, it can effectively prevent the lamp board 62 from disengaging from the lamp cover 61. Moreover, the mounting plate 8 and the cover plate 4 are snap-connected at the front end in the vertical direction, which can effectively prevent problems such as warping or separation of the two.

[0061] More specifically, as Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 shown, the rear side wall of the lamp cover 61 is provided with a clamping block 63 extending backward, and the cover plate 4 is provided with a second snap 42 at the corresponding position of the clamping block 63. The clamping block 63 is snap-connected to the second snap 42 to limit the movement of the lamp cover 61 in the vertical direction; the cover plate 4 is further provided with a third snap 43, and the third snap 43 is located above the front side wall of the lamp cover 61. The front side wall of the lamp cover 61 is snap-connected to the third snap 43 to limit the movement of the lamp cover 61 in the vertical direction. The clamping block 63 provided on the lamp cover 61 and the second snap 42 provided on the cover plate 4 can be snap-connected to each other to prevent the lamp cover 61 from disengaging from the mounting hole 41 of the cover plate 4 in the vertical direction. Moreover, only the second snap 42 on one side cannot stably fix the lamp cover 61 within the mounting hole 41. Therefore, a third snap 43 is also provided on the cover plate 4 on the opposite side of the second snap 42. The third snap 43 extends backward above the mounting hole 41, thereby restricting the movement of the lamp cover 61 in the vertical direction at the position of the third snap 43. The cooperation of the second snap 42 and the third snap 43 realizes the reliable installation of the lamp cover 61 and improves the installation reliability of the light-emitting component 6.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, as Figures 4 - 6 and Figures 8 - 10 shown, the color of the light-emitting component 6 is variable, and the color of the light-emitting component 6 is one of red, orange, yellow, blue-green, purple, and white. The color of the light emitted by the light-emitting component 6 can correspond to different functions. For example, it can emit light with a fresh-keeping or sterilizing function, so that the drawer 5 has a fresh-keeping function or a sterilizing function, or it can emit high-brightness light to make the inside of the drawer 5 brighter. When the user opens the refrigerator in a dark environment, they can more clearly see the items in the drawer 5, enabling the refrigerator to have different functions such as lighting, atmosphere, fresh-keeping and sterilization, and improving the storage effect of the items in the drawer 5.

[0066] In summary, for the refrigerator of the present application, the cabinet 1 serves as a container for the inner liner 2 and can be used to accommodate the inner liner 2. The heat insulation of the refrigerator is achieved through the heat insulation material between the two. The accommodating cavity 21 of the inner liner 2 allows users to put items into it. The rotational connection between the door body 3 and the cabinet 1 simply and conveniently realizes the opening and closing of the accommodating cavity 21. The cover plate 4 in the accommodating cavity 21 and the bottom accommodating cavity 21 form a compartment. The drawer 5 is placed in the compartment and can be pulled out and put back in the compartment. Users can put items into the first accommodating space 52 of the drawer 5 to separate the compartment from the remaining space of the accommodating cavity 21. The lighting component 6 is located at the front end of the cover plate 4, and its downward light emission can illuminate the first accommodating space 52. Also, since the front panel 51 of the drawer 5 has a transparent part, when the user opens the door body 3 and the lighting component 6 emits light downward, the user can see the items in the compartment through the front panel 51 of the drawer 5, achieving the purpose of enabling users to simply and conveniently view the items in the refrigerator compartment.
