[0038] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the grille assembly 100 provided in the present application includes a grille 10 and a wind shield assembly 20. The grille 10 has an air inlet duct 11 and a slideway 12. The slideway 12 is provided on one side of the air inlet duct 11 in the width direction of the grille 10 and extends along the length direction of the grille 10. The wind shield assembly 20 is installed on the grille 10. The wind shield assembly 20 includes a rotary drive member 21 and a wind shield partition 22. The wind shield partition 22 is wound around the rotary part (not shown) of the rotary drive member 21 and is slidably connected to the slideway 12 for partially blocking the air inlet duct 11. Moreover, the wind shield partition 22 can control the air inlet area of the air inlet duct 11 under the drive of the rotary drive member 21. It should be noted that when the wind shield partition 22 partially blocks the air inlet duct 11, the unblocked part of the air inlet duct 11 can be used for air inlet, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the air inlet area of the air inlet duct 11.

[0039] As described above, when the grille assembly 100 of the present application is working, by winding and releasing the wind blocking partition 22 through the rotation driving member 21, the area of the wind blocking partition 22 blocking the air inlet duct 11 is adjusted, so that the area of the air inlet duct 11 for air supply into the grille 10 can be adjusted. When the grille assembly 100 is applied to a refrigerator, the temperature environment in the compressor compartment 200 can be actively controlled by controlling the air intake volume of the grille 10, so that the compressor in the compressor compartment 200 is always at the most suitable operating temperature, thereby enabling the refrigerator to achieve more efficient refrigeration and energy conservation.

[0040] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 shown, the air inlet duct 11 includes a plurality of air inlet holes 111, and the plurality of air inlet holes 111 are arranged at intervals in sequence along the length direction of the grille 10. That is to say, the air inlet duct 11 can be composed of a plurality of air inlet holes 111. Here, along the sliding direction of the wind blocking partition 22 on the slideway 12, the plurality of air inlet holes 111 can be sequentially blocked by the wind blocking partition 22, and the adjustment of the air intake volume of the air inlet duct 11 is realized. It should be noted that each air inlet hole 111 extends along the width direction of the grille 10, so as to increase the area of the air inlet hole 111. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the air inlet duct 11 can also be an integral body, which will not be elaborated here.

[0041] As Figure 1 shown, the number of the slideways 12 is configured to be two, and the two slideways 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the air inlet duct 11 in the width direction of the grille 10; and, the wind blocking partition 22 can be slidably connected to the two slideways 12 at the same time. That is to say, the wind blocking partition 22 can slide under the guidance of the two slideways 12, so as to improve the stability of the wind blocking partition 22 when sliding on the grille 10 and ensure the blocking of the air inlet duct 11.

[0042] As Figure 2 shown, the grille 10 includes a grille main board 101, the air inlet duct 11 is arranged on the grille main board 101, the grille 10 further includes two retaining strips 102, the two retaining strips 102 are arranged on both sides of the grille main board 101 in the width direction of the grille 10 and are arranged at intervals relative to the grille main board 101, and each of the retaining strips 102 can respectively enclose with the grille main board 101 to form a slideway 12.

[0043] As Figure 1As shown, a concave cavity 13 is formed on the grille 10. The rotary driving member 21 is received in the concave cavity 13 and fixedly connected to the grille 10, thus specifically realizing the assembly connection of the rotary driving member 21 within the grille 10, such that the assembly of the rotary driving member 21 does not require additional occupation of the external space of the grille 10. Here, the rotary driving member 21 is configured as a curling motor. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the rotary driving member 21 can also be a servo motor, and a winding drum is used to wind the wind shield partition 22.

[0044] As Figure 1 shown, the number of the wind shield assemblies 20 is configured as two. The two wind shield assemblies 20 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the grille 10 in the length direction of the air inlet duct 11, such that when the grille assembly 100 operates, the two wind shield assemblies 20 can respectively block partial air inlet ducts 11 on the grille 10 from two directions. Here, a through hole 14 is further formed in the middle of the grille 10, and the through hole 14 can be penetrated by a push rod (not shown in the figure) for the upper door of the refrigerator. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the number of the wind shield assemblies 20 can also be one.

[0045] The wind shield partition 22 includes a plurality of wind shield sheets (not shown in the figure). The plurality of wind shield sheets are sequentially hinged, such that when the rotary driving member 21 winds or releases the wind shield partition 22, the wind shield partition 22 can be driven to slide within the slideway 12 of the grille 10. Here, some of the wind shield sheets of the wind shield partition 22 that are separated from the rotary driving member 21 can be inserted and matched with the slideway 12, and the wind shield sheets are slidably connected to the slideway 12. It should be noted that the wind shield partition 22 of the present application can adopt a structure similar to that of a rolling shutter door, and will not be elaborated here.

[0046] As Figure 4 shown, the present application further provides a refrigerator, including a compressor compartment 200 and the above-mentioned grille assembly 100. The grille assembly 100 is arranged at the front position of the compressor compartment 200. Here, the refrigerator is specifically an embedded air-cooled refrigerator.

[0047] Preferably, the refrigerator further includes a temperature sensor (not shown in the figure). The temperature sensor is arranged in the compressor compartment 200 and is used to detect the temperature of the environment where the compressor (not shown in the figure) is located in the compressor compartment 200 and generate a feedback signal; wherein, the feedback signal is used to control the driving of the rotary driving member 21 to control the air inlet area of the air inlet duct 11. That is to say, the rotary driving member 21 can automatically control the air inlet area of the air inlet duct 11 according to the temperature of the environment where the compressor is located in the compressor compartment 200, and realize the automation of the control of the rotary driving member 21, so as to ensure that the temperature of the environment where the compressor is located is the most suitable working condition temperature for the compressor to operate.

[0048] As Figure 4As shown, the refrigerator of the present application further includes a water receiving tray 300 for receiving defrosting water. Here, the water receiving tray is disposed in the compressor compartment 200. The refrigerator can utilize the temperature rise in the compressor compartment 200 to drive the evaporation of the defrosting water in the water receiving tray 300, which can save the working time of the evaporation tube (not shown in the figure) provided corresponding to the water receiving tray 300, thereby playing an energy-saving role.
