[0042] The present invention will be described more clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings, using a preferred embodiment.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a refrigerator 100, which includes an air supply duct 1 and a refrigerator body 2. The air supply duct 1 is located inside the refrigerator compartment 21 of the refrigerator body 2 and is used to supply air to the refrigerator compartment 21. The air supply duct 1 is connected to the corner 22 at the back of the refrigerator compartment 21. By adopting the above structural form, the space at the corner 22 can be utilized, avoiding the air supply duct 1 occupying space at the back of the refrigerator 100, thus reducing the depth of the refrigerator 100 and increasing the volume ratio of the body. Furthermore, since some components are located at the back of the refrigerator 100, connecting the air supply duct 1 to the corner 22 inside the refrigerator compartment 21 can avoid interference between the air supply duct 1 and the components, improving the stability of the components in use.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the surface of the air supply duct 1 facing the corner 22 matches the shape of the corner 22. This structural design increases the connection area between the air supply duct 1 and the refrigerator body 2, improving the stability and reliability of the connection between them.

[0045] It should be specifically noted that, in this embodiment, the shape of the corner 22 is the same as the shape of the corner 22 of the ice body in the prior art. That is, the shape of the corner 22 is concave, and the shape of the air supply channel 1 facing the corner 22 is convex towards the corner 22.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the refrigerator 100 also includes a first surface 23, which extends along the length of the refrigerator 100. The shape of the surface of the air supply channel 1 facing the first surface 23 is adapted to the shape of the first surface 23. By adopting the above-mentioned structural form, the connection area between the air supply channel 1 and the refrigerator body 2 is increased, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the air supply channel 1 and the refrigerator body 2.

[0047] In practical use, the first surface 23 is a surface that extends along the length of the refrigerator 100, and the surface of the air supply channel 1 facing the first surface 23 is also a surface that extends along the length of the refrigerator 100.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, the refrigerator 100 also includes a second surface 24, which extends along the width direction of the refrigerator 100. The first surface 23 and the second surface 24 are connected to form a corner 22. The shape of the surface of the air supply channel 1 facing the second surface 24 is adapted to the shape of the second surface 24. By adopting the above structural form, the connection area between the air supply channel 1 and the refrigerator body 2 is further increased, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the air supply channel 1 and the refrigerator body 2.

[0049] In practical use, the second surface 24 is a surface that extends along the width direction of the refrigerator 100, and the surface of the air supply channel 1 facing the second surface 24 is also a surface that extends along the width direction of the refrigerator 100.

[0050] It should be specifically noted that, in this embodiment, the air supply duct 1 also includes an air supply surface facing the refrigerator compartment 21. The two ends of the air supply surface are respectively connected to the surface of the air supply duct 1 extending along the length direction of the refrigerator 100 and the surface of the air supply duct 1 extending along the width direction of the refrigerator 100, and the air supply surface is a surface protruding towards the refrigerator compartment 21.

[0051] The refrigerator 100 also includes a fan 3, and an air supply duct 1 extends at least vertically. The fan 3 is connected to one end of the air supply duct 1 near the bottom of the refrigerator compartment 21. With the above structure, the air generated by the fan can reach the refrigerator compartment through the air supply duct, thereby reducing the temperature of the refrigerator compartment and achieving the effect of refrigerating food.

[0052] In this embodiment, the air supply duct 1 extends vertically, preferably from the bottom of the refrigerator compartment 21 to the top of the refrigerator compartment 21. In other embodiments, the extension direction of the air supply duct 1 can be adjusted according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

[0053] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the refrigerator 100 also includes an evaporator 4 and a return air duct 5, which are located within the refrigerator compartment 21. The return air duct 5 is connected to the air supply duct 1 via the evaporator 4. With this structure, air from the refrigerator compartment 21 can enter the return air duct 5, and the evaporator 4 lowers the temperature of the air in the return air duct 5. The cooled air can then re-enter the refrigerator body 2 through the air supply duct 1, thus achieving air circulation within the refrigerator body 2.

[0054] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, the surface of the air supply duct 1 facing the refrigerator compartment 21 has multiple air outlet groups 6, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the air supply duct 1. This structural design ensures that cold air is evenly distributed to all corners of the refrigerator compartment 21, preventing cold air from concentrating in one area. This structural design not only improves the utilization rate of cold air and reduces energy waste, but also helps prevent uneven temperature distribution inside the refrigerator compartment 21.

[0055] It should be specifically noted that, in order to further ensure that the cold air can be evenly distributed to all corners of the refrigerator compartment 21, the first channel 11 preferably extends from the bottom of the refrigerator compartment 21 to the top of the refrigerator compartment 21, and the air outlet group 6 is arranged at intervals along the air supply surface of the first channel 11.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, the two corners 22 at the back of the refrigerator compartment 21 are both located in the air supply duct 1, thereby improving the air supply efficiency of the air supply duct 1.

[0057] This embodiment discloses a kitchen system including a refrigerator cabinet and a refrigerator 100. The refrigerator cabinet has a receiving cavity, and the refrigerator 100 is embedded in the receiving cavity. Using this structural form, the space at the corner 22 can be utilized, avoiding the air duct 1 occupying space at the back of the refrigerator 100, thus reducing the depth of the refrigerator 100 and increasing its volumetric efficiency. Furthermore, since some components are located at the back of the refrigerator 100, connecting the air duct 1 to the corner 22 inside the refrigerator compartment 21 avoids interference between the air duct 1 and the components, improving the stability of the components in use.
