Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of refrigerators, in particular to a moisturizing drawer and a refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] As modern living standards continue to improve, consumer demand for home appliances has shifted from simple functional satisfaction to a pursuit of superior user experience and results. This trend is particularly pronounced in the refrigerator sector. Traditionally, the primary function of a refrigerator is to provide a stable, low-temperature environment to ensure basic food preservation. However, with advances in food science and growing consumer health awareness, user requirements for refrigerator freezing and preservation technology have expanded far beyond basic freezing, focusing on how to better preserve the nutritional content, taste, and freshness of frozen foods.

[0003] Specifically, modern users are no longer satisfied with the basic requirement that food does not spoil. They are beginning to pay attention to the impact of the freezing process on food quality, especially the taste retention and moisture control of food. In traditional refrigerator designs, freezer drawers often adopt an open design. Although this design is convenient for storing and accessing items, it also brings significant disadvantages. Due to the inevitable temperature fluctuations in the freezer, these fluctuations will cause a temperature difference between the surface of the frozen food and the overall freezer environment. Under the action of this temperature difference, ice crystals on the surface of the food are prone to sublimation, that is, the ice crystals directly transform from solid to gas without passing through the liquid state. This process directly leads to a large loss of moisture inside the food, which in turn affects its taste and texture.

[0004] Furthermore, refrigerators that use air cooling technology achieve rapid cooling and uniform temperature distribution through continuous circulation of cold air. However, while this highly efficient cooling method brings numerous conveniences, it also exposes some problems. Frozen food exposed to cold air for extended periods of time is susceptible to surface drying, a phenomenon known as "drying out." Drying out not only causes the food surface to lose its luster and become dry and rough, but also further accelerates the loss of moisture from the food's interior, seriously affecting the food's freshness and the final eating experience. This phenomenon clearly cannot meet the needs of modern families for the preservation of highly moisturizing, high-quality frozen foods. Utility Model Content
