By having the second rib 246 pass through the top and bottom ends of the front wall panel 24, the area of the second rib 246 on the front wall panel 24 can be increased, thereby increasing the rigidity of the front wall panel 24 and preventing deformation of the front wall panel 24 during the sliding of the drawer 2.

[0087] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the second rib 246 can be arranged to extend horizontally. The left end of the second rib 246 can extend to the left edge of the front wall 24. The right end of the second rib 246 can extend to the right edge of the front wall 24. By having the second rib 246 pass through the left and right ends of the front wall 24, the area of the second rib 246 on the front wall 24 can be increased, thereby increasing the rigidity of the front wall 24 and preventing deformation of the front wall 24 during the sliding of the drawer 2.

[0088] In some embodiments, the width of the second rib 246 gradually decreases from bottom to top, thereby reducing the width of the top of the second rib 246 and reducing the material cost of the top of the second rib 246 .

[0089] In some embodiments, the front sidewall of the front wall panel 24 may be provided with a second connecting portion 247. The second connecting portion 247 may be provided between two adjacent second ribs 246. The second connecting portion 247 may be arranged alternately with the second ribs 246. The provision of the second connecting portion 247 allows the second ribs 246 to be spaced apart, thereby reducing the material cost of the front wall panel 24.

[0090] In some embodiments, the front wall panel 24 may include a second reinforcing rib 248. The second reinforcing rib 248 may be disposed on the front side of the front wall panel 24. The second reinforcing rib 248 may serve as the front exterior surface of the front wall panel 24. The first reinforcing rib 244 may be disposed on the back side of the second reinforcing rib 248. The first reinforcing rib 244 may be fixed to the back side of the second reinforcing rib 248. The first reinforcing rib 244 and the second reinforcing rib 248 may increase the overall rigidity of the front wall panel 24, thereby preventing deformation of the front wall panel 24 during the sliding of the drawer 2.

[0091] In some embodiments, the second rib 246 can be formed by a forward protrusion of the front sidewall of the second reinforcing rib 248. The first connecting portion 245 can be located on the back side of the second rib 246. The first connecting portion 245 can be arranged front-to-back with the second rib 246. The first connecting portion 245 can extend into the back side of the second rib 246, thereby reducing the thickness of the first and second reinforcing ribs 244, 248, and thus reducing the overall thickness of the front wall panel 24, thereby improving the compactness of the structure.

[0092] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the first reinforcing rib 244 and the second reinforcing rib 248 can be integrally formed so that the first rib 243 can be directly formed on the rear side wall of the front wall plate 24 , and the second rib 246 can be directly formed on the front side wall of the front wall plate 24 .

[0093] See also Figures 2 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the refrigeration device may include a sterilization module 3. The sterilization module 3 may be located in the cabinet. The sterilization module 3 may be located in the refrigeration compartment 11. The sterilization module 3 may send a sterilization signal toward the front wall 24, and the sterilization signal may sterilize the drawer cavity.

[0094] In some embodiments, the sterilization module 3 may be an ultraviolet sterilization module, and the sterilization signal may be a light signal such as an ultraviolet light signal.

[0095] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the sterilization signal may also be other sterilization light signals.

[0096] In some embodiments, the sterilization module 3 can emit a sterilization signal toward the front wall panel 24 , and the sterilization signal can be reflected into the accommodating cavity 21 through the rear side wall of the front wall panel 24 , thereby achieving sterilization in the accommodating cavity 21 .

[0097] In some embodiments, the sterilization module 3 can emit a sterilization signal toward the front wall panel 24, and the sterilization signal can be reflected into the accommodating cavity 21 via the rear side wall of the front wall panel 24 and the rear surface of the first rib 243, thereby achieving sterilization within the accommodating cavity 21. The reflection of the sterilization signal by the rear surface of the first rib 243 can increase the reflection area of the sterilization signal, thereby improving the sterilization range and sterilization effect of the sterilization signal within the accommodating cavity 21.

[0098] In some embodiments, the sterilization module 3 can be disposed on the wall of the drawer cavity. The sterilization module 3 can be disposed on the upper side of the accommodating cavity 21 so that the sterilization signal emitted by the sterilization module 3 can reach the rear wall of the front wall plate 24 more quickly, thereby improving the sterilization efficiency of the sterilization module 3.

[0099] In some embodiments, the sterilization module 3 can be disposed on the rear wall of the drawer cavity. The sterilization module 3 can be disposed on the upper side of the rear end of the body 23 so that the sterilization module 3 can directly transmit the sterilization signal toward the rear side wall of the front wall panel 24. This allows more sterilization signals to be reflected by the rear surface of the front wall panel 24 and the first rib 243 into the accommodating cavity 21, thereby increasing the reflection area of the sterilization signal and improving the sterilization range and sterilization efficiency of the sterilization module 3.

[0100] See also Figures 2 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the rear surface of the first rib 243 can be an arc-shaped structure. The transverse cross-section of the rear surface of the first rib 243 can be an arc-shaped structure that bends toward the accommodating cavity 21. When the sterilization module 3 transmits a sterilization signal toward the rear side wall of the front wall plate 24, the sterilization signal can be reflected into the accommodating cavity 21 through the arc-shaped rear surface of the first rib 243. Since the angles of reflection of the sterilization signal are different in different areas on the arc-shaped rear surface of the first rib 243, the arc-shaped rear surface of the first rib 243 can reflect the sterilization signal in different directions within the accommodating cavity 21, thereby further increasing the range of the sterilization signal reflection and thus improving the sterilization range and sterilization effect of the sterilization module 3 in the accommodating cavity 21.

[0101] It should be noted that the multiple first ribs 243 can be evenly spaced and arranged on the rear sidewall of the front wall panel 24. The rear surfaces of the multiple first ribs 243 can all reflect the sterilization signal. The curved rear surfaces of the multiple first ribs 243 can reflect the sterilization signal at different angles, thereby improving the uniformity of the reflected sterilization signal within the accommodating cavity 21.

[0102] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the first connecting portion 245 may be an arc-shaped structure. The transverse cross-section of the inner wall of the first connecting portion 245 may be an arc-shaped structure that bends in a direction away from the accommodating cavity 21. When the sterilization module 3 transmits a sterilization signal toward the rear wall of the front wall plate 24, the sterilization signal can be reflected into the accommodating cavity 21 through the arc-shaped rear surface of the first connecting portion 245. Since the angles of reflection of the sterilization signal are different in different areas on the arc-shaped surface of the first connecting portion 245, the arc-shaped surface of the first connecting portion 245 can reflect the sterilization signal in different directions within the accommodating cavity 21, thereby further increasing the range of the sterilization signal reflection, and thereby increasing the sterilization range and sterilization effect of the sterilization module 3 in the accommodating cavity 21.

[0103] It should be noted that multiple first connection portions 245 can be evenly spaced and arranged on the rear sidewall of the front wall panel 24. The rear surfaces of each of the first connection portions 245 can reflect the sterilization signal. The curved rear surfaces of the multiple first connection portions 245 can reflect the sterilization signal at different angles, thereby improving the uniformity of the reflected sterilization signal within the accommodating cavity 21.

[0104] In some embodiments, the plurality of first ribs 243 and the plurality of first connecting portions 245 are alternately arranged to form an uneven, wavy surface on the rear sidewall of the front wall plate 24. The uneven, wavy surface can reflect the sterilization signal at different angles, thereby increasing the range of the sterilization signal reflection, thereby improving the sterilization range and sterilization effect of the sterilization module 3 in the accommodating chamber 21, and also improving the uniformity of the reflected sterilization signal in the accommodating chamber 21.

[0105] In some embodiments, a partition (not shown) may be provided within the housing 1. The partition may be provided within the housing. The partition may be provided on the upper side of the drawer cavity. The partition may cover the upper side of the drawer cavity. The drawer cavity may be provided below the partition. The sterilization module 3 may be provided below the partition. The sterilization module 3 may be provided below the partition. The sterilization module 3 may emit a sterilization signal toward the accommodating cavity 21, thereby achieving efficient sterilization within the accommodating cavity 21.
