Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of household appliance technology, and more particularly to a refrigerator. Background Technology

[0002] The field of home appliance technology encompasses a wide range of product categories, including but not limited to refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, microwave ovens, dishwashers, and vacuum cleaners. The technological development trends for these products primarily focus on intelligentization, energy conservation and environmental protection, optimized user experience, and the application of new materials. Optimized user experience is achieved through design innovation and functional enhancement to meet consumers' demands for health, convenience, and personalization.

[0003] As an important component of household appliances, refrigerators are primarily used for refrigerating and preserving food. Since their invention in the early 20th century, refrigerator technology has undergone numerous innovations, evolving from the initial mechanical refrigeration to today's intelligent inverter control, with continuously enriched functions and significantly improved energy efficiency. Modern refrigerators not only possess basic refrigeration and freezing functions but also incorporate advanced technologies such as multi-temperature zone control, humidification preservation, and sterilization and deodorization.

[0004] Currently, refrigerators with preservation functions mainly achieve long-term food preservation through technologies such as precise temperature control, humidity regulation, gas regulation, sterilization and deodorization, vacuum preservation, and intelligent preservation. However, for refrigerators that can humidify and preserve food, installing a humidifier in the refrigerator compartment will take up additional internal space, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application discloses a refrigerator that uses a partition behind the front panel of a drawer and a humidifying device in the space between the partition and the front panel. This does not occupy the original usable space inside the refrigerator and reduces the volume of the humidifying device in the refrigerator while achieving the humidifying and preservation function.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, embodiments of this application disclose a refrigerator, comprising:

[0007] The box contains a refrigerator compartment;

[0008] A drawer, which is movably disposed in the refrigerator compartment, and has a receiving cavity formed inside the drawer;

[0009] A door, which is movably connected to the cabinet to open or close the refrigerator compartment;

[0010] A humidifying device is disposed inside the box and is used to generate water mist;

[0011] The drawer includes:

[0012] Front panel, the front panel being located on the side of the drawer closest to the door;

[0013] A partition is disposed within the receiving cavity and close to the front panel, forming a humidification space between the partition and the front panel;

[0014] The humidification device is installed in the humidification space, which is connected to the storage space inside the refrigerator, so that the water mist generated by the humidification device can enter the storage space.

[0015] Thus, a partition is installed on the side of the drawer's front panel facing away from the door. The space between the partition and the front panel serves as a humidification space, where the humidifier is placed. This humidification space is connected to the storage space to humidify and preserve the food within. In the drawer's structure, the area between the front panel and the partition is relatively concealed and does not affect the drawer's normal storage function. This eliminates the need to reserve space for the humidifier elsewhere in the refrigerator compartment, resulting in more efficient use of the internal space. By utilizing this potentially wasted or underutilized space for the humidifier, without taking up additional storage space or reserving space elsewhere in the refrigerator compartment, the internal space is utilized more efficiently. This achieves humidification and preservation while reducing the volume of the humidifier within the refrigerator.

[0016] As an optional implementation, the drawer further includes: a support base, the support base being disposed within the humidification space, the support base dividing the humidification space into a water storage space and a water mist space, the water storage space being configured to store water, and the humidification device being disposed on the support base;

[0017] The humidification device is configured to convert the water in the water storage space into water mist and discharge it into the water mist space, which is connected to the storage space inside the refrigerator.

[0018] Thus, the water storage space is specifically designed to store water, providing a stable water source for the humidifier and ensuring continuous humidification. The mist space, on the other hand, primarily accommodates the mist generated by the humidifier and guides it to the storage space within the refrigerator compartment, achieving humidification and preservation of stored items. This avoids potential problems caused by mist accumulation in the water storage space, such as affecting humidification efficiency or causing leaks. Mounting the humidifier on a support base allows for better coordination with both the water storage and mist spaces. The humidifier precisely converts water in the water storage space into mist and discharges it into the mist space. The mist enters the storage space more directly and smoothly through the channel connecting to it, reducing loss and obstruction during transmission, thereby improving humidification efficiency and more effectively humidifying and preserving items within the storage space, extending their shelf life.

[0019] As an optional implementation, the front panel is provided with a mist outlet, which is configured to connect the water mist space and the storage space.

[0020] In this way, the mist outlet provides a specific channel for the water mist, allowing the water mist generated by the humidifier to precisely enter the storage space within the refrigerator compartment that needs humidification from the mist space. This avoids the irregular diffusion of water mist inside the refrigerator, improves the utilization efficiency of the water mist, and ensures the targeted and effective humidification. As the sole outlet for the water mist, the mist outlet effectively prevents moisture in the mist space from leaking uncontrollably into other parts of the refrigerator through other gaps or openings. This reduces the potential for moisture damage to internal refrigerator components, frost buildup, and ice formation caused by water leakage, improves the overall sealing and reliability of the refrigerator, and extends its service life.

[0021] As an optional implementation, the humidification device includes:

[0022] An atomizing plate mounting base is provided on the support base. The atomizing plate mounting base is provided with a mounting hole, and the support base is provided with a clearance hole corresponding to the mounting hole.

[0023] An atomizing plate is disposed within the mounting hole. Micropores are formed on the atomizing plate, which allow water mist to pass through and prevent water from passing through. The atomizing plate vibrates to convert the water in the water storage space into water mist, and the water mist is emitted from the bottom of the atomizing plate through the micropores.

[0024] Thus, atomizing humidifiers can reach the required humidity level more quickly. Because the water mist particles produced by the atomizing plate are extremely fine and uniform, these mist particles can be evenly distributed throughout the storage space, preventing localized areas of excessively high or low humidity. In environments requiring precise humidity control, such as refrigerators, uniform humidification ensures that food and other items are kept in a relatively stable humidity environment, which helps maintain their freshness and quality. The atomizing plate converts electrical energy into vibrational energy, and then water into mist, exhibiting high energy conversion efficiency. Most of the electrical energy is effectively used to generate high-frequency vibration and atomized water, reducing energy waste and improving energy utilization efficiency.

[0025] As an optional implementation, the drawer further includes:

[0026] A top cover is provided on top of the partition and the front panel, and the top cover is provided with a liquid injection port, which is connected to the humidification space.

[0027] Thus, the top cover, positioned atop the partition and front panel, forms a relatively enclosed structure. This effectively prevents dust, debris, and other foreign objects from entering the humidification space, extending the lifespan of the humidification unit and ensuring stable operation of the refrigerator's humidification function. The top cover also slows down the evaporation rate, maintaining a relatively stable moisture content within the humidification space and improving water resource utilization efficiency. The liquid inlet on the top cover allows users to easily add water to the humidification space without fully removing the drawers or performing complex disassembly operations, greatly enhancing convenience and saving time and effort.

[0028] As an optional implementation, the refrigerator further includes:

[0029] A power supply module is located outside the drawer and is electrically connected to the atomizing plate via a wire.

[0030] The drawer also includes:

[0031] The base plate has a wiring hole in the portion of the base plate located within the humidification space. The wiring hole is connected to the water mist space and is used to pass through the wire.

[0032] Thus, the wiring hole design allows for orderly arrangement of the wires, preventing interference with the normal operation of the humidifier. The wires will not tangle or collide with other components of the humidifier, ensuring stable and efficient operation and thus guaranteeing the refrigerator's humidification and preservation effects. Centralizing the wires through the wiring holes makes the wiring inside the drawers neater and more organized, avoiding a messy distribution and improving the utilization of drawer space. Placing the power supply module on the outside of the drawer effectively prevents corrosion from the humid environment, extending its lifespan and improving the reliability and stability of the entire refrigerator humidification system.

[0033] As an optional implementation, the power supply module includes:

[0034] A power supply component, wherein the power supply component is disposed in the housing;

[0035] A power-requiring component is disposed in the drawer. The power-requiring component is electrically connected to the atomizing plate via a wire. The power-requiring component and the power supply component correspond to each other along the drawer's pull-out direction. When the drawer is closed, the power-requiring component and the power supply component are in contact and connected. When the drawer is open, the power-requiring component and the power supply component are separated.

[0036] Thus, when the drawer is closed, the electrical components contact and connect with the power supply components, and the humidifier starts working. When the drawer is open, the electrical components disconnect from the power supply components, and the humidifier stops working, eliminating the need for manual switching. When the user opens the drawer to retrieve items, the humidifier automatically stops to prevent water mist from spraying directly onto the user or causing unnecessary water waste. When the user closes the drawer, the humidifier automatically resumes operation, continuously providing suitable humidity for the refrigerator compartment. The automatic power-off when the drawer is opened prevents the humidifier from continuously generating water mist and diffusing it into the external environment when the door is opened, thereby reducing unnecessary energy consumption.

[0037] As an optional implementation, the power supply component includes:

[0038] A first housing, which is connected to the box body;

[0039] First positive electrode spring;

[0040] The first negative electrode spring and the first positive electrode spring are disposed alternately in the first housing;

[0041] The power-demanding components include:

[0042] A second housing is connected to the drawer, and the second housing corresponds to the first housing along the drawer's pull-out direction;

[0043] The second positive electrode spring corresponds to the first positive electrode spring along the drawer's pull-out direction;

[0044] The second negative electrode spring and the second positive electrode spring are disposed at intervals in the first housing, and the second negative electrode spring and the first negative electrode spring correspond to each other along the pull-out direction of the drawer;

[0045] The first housing has a mounting groove on the side facing the second housing, the mounting groove being disposed between the first positive electrode spring and the first negative electrode spring. The second housing has a mating part on the side facing the first housing, the mating part being disposed between the second positive electrode spring and the second negative electrode spring. The mating part matches the mounting groove so that when the drawer is in the closed state, the mating part is located within the mounting groove.

[0046] Thus, when the drawer is closed, the mating part is precisely positioned within the mounting groove, providing excellent positioning and guidance. This ensures more precise contact spring docking, further improving the stability of circuit continuity and reducing malfunctions such as power outages or short circuits caused by spring misalignment. Furthermore, both the mounting groove and the mating part effectively isolate the positive and negative springs, preventing them from contacting and causing a short circuit.

[0047] Both the positive and negative contact springs are designed with elasticity. When the drawer is closed, the elastic contact between the springs provides a certain amount of pressure, ensuring a good electrical connection. Even with slight vibrations or shaking during refrigerator operation, the elasticity of the springs keeps them in close contact, preventing poor contact caused by vibration and improving the stability and reliability of the power supply.

[0048] As an optional implementation, the front panel includes:

[0049] The frame portion surrounds a mounting opening;

[0050] A transparent plate portion is disposed at the mounting opening;

[0051] The drawer also includes:

[0052] A first sealing element is disposed between the perimeter of the edge of the front panel facing the door body and the frame portion;

[0053] The second seal is disposed around the edge of the front panel facing the humidification space to seal the gap between the front panel and the top cover, the gap between the front panel and the bottom plate, and the gap between the front panel and the frame portion.

[0054] In this way, the first and second seals can effectively prevent water from seeping out of the water storage space, ensuring that the electrical components are in a dry environment, extending the service life of the electrical components, ensuring the safety and reliability of the refrigerator, and also protecting metal components such as drawer slides and frames, maintaining the integrity and stability of the refrigerator's internal structure.

[0055] As an optional implementation, the refrigerator further includes a liquid injection baffle, which is arranged around the liquid injection port and forms a liquid injection channel with the partition. The liquid injection channel is offset from the atomizing plate in the vertical direction.

[0056] Thus, when a user injects water into the humidification space through the injection port, the injection baffle acts as a barrier and guide. It prevents water from splashing onto the partitions and the inner walls of the humidification space due to impact or shaking during injection. If water splashes onto these inner walls, it will affect the water storage effect of the water storage space. When water is injected through the injection channel, because it is not directly aligned with the atomizing component, the water falls to the bottom plate through the injection channel, gradually accumulating and submerging the atomizing plate before it comes into contact with the water. This effectively prevents the water flow from directly impacting the atomizing component.

[0057] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0058] The refrigerator provided in this application embodiment has a partition on the side of the front panel of the drawer away from the door. The space between the partition and the front panel is a humidification space. The humidification device is placed in the humidification space, which is connected to the storage space to humidify and preserve the food in the storage space. In this way, the space that might otherwise be wasted or underutilized is used to install the humidification device without taking up additional storage space inside the refrigerator. There is no need to reserve space for the humidification device in other parts of the refrigerator compartment, so that the internal space of the refrigerator is used more efficiently. While achieving the humidification and preservation function, the volume of the humidification device occupied inside the refrigerator is reduced. Attached Figure Description

[0083] The field of home appliance technology encompasses a wide range of product categories, including but not limited to refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, microwave ovens, dishwashers, and vacuum cleaners. The technological development trends for these products primarily focus on intelligentization, energy conservation and environmental protection, optimized user experience, and the application of new materials. Optimized user experience is achieved through design innovation and functional enhancement to meet consumers' demands for health, convenience, and personalization.

[0084] As an important component of household appliances, refrigerators are primarily used for refrigerating and preserving food. Since their invention in the early 20th century, refrigerator technology has undergone numerous innovations, evolving from the initial mechanical refrigeration to today's intelligent inverter control, with continuously enriched functions and significantly improved energy efficiency. Modern refrigerators not only possess basic refrigeration and freezing functions but also incorporate advanced technologies such as multi-temperature zone control, humidification preservation, and sterilization and deodorization.

[0085] Currently, refrigerators with preservation functions mainly achieve long-term food preservation through technologies such as precise temperature control, humidity regulation, gas regulation, sterilization and deodorization, vacuum preservation, and intelligent preservation. However, for refrigerators that can humidify and preserve food, the humidification device is generally located at the top of the drawers, the top of the refrigerator compartment, or the water tray on the door shelf, which takes up additional space inside the refrigerator, affecting the space utilization of the refrigerator compartment and thus impacting the user experience.

[0086] Based on this, this application discloses a refrigerator that uses a partition behind the front panel of the drawer and a humidifying device in the space between the partition and the front panel. This does not occupy the original usable space inside the refrigerator and reduces the volume of the humidifying device in the refrigerator while achieving the humidification and preservation function.

[0087] The technical solution of this application will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0088] Please see Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 1This is a partial structural diagram of the refrigerator disclosed in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a partial structural diagram of the refrigerator disclosed in an embodiment of this application (excluding the cabinet body). Figure 3 This is a first-view structural diagram of the drawer disclosed in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the drawer disclosed in an embodiment of this application from a second-view perspective. Figure 5 for Figure 4 Cross-sectional view at point AA. This application discloses a refrigerator 100.

[0089] The refrigerator 100 includes a cabinet 1, which serves as the external structure of the multi-drum washing machine. The cabinet 1 is typically made of metal or plastic and provides robust support for the internal components of the refrigerator 100. The cabinet 1 is designed with durability, heat dissipation, noise control, safety, and maintainability in mind.

[0090] In some embodiments, the refrigerator 100 includes a compressor (not shown) that compresses low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas into high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas to provide power for the circulation of refrigerant in the system.

[0091] In some embodiments, the refrigerator 100 includes a condenser (not shown), which is typically located at the back or side of the refrigerator 100 and is capable of cooling the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas discharged from the compressor, causing it to condense into a high-temperature, high-pressure liquid, and dissipating heat to the surrounding environment through heat dissipation.

[0092] In some embodiments, the refrigerator 100 includes an evaporator (not shown) which is generally located inside the refrigerator compartment 1a and the freezer compartment of the refrigerator 100. The refrigerant liquid in the evaporator evaporates rapidly under low pressure and absorbs heat, thereby lowering the air temperature around the evaporator and thus cooling the interior space of the refrigerator 100.

[0093] In some embodiments, the refrigerator 100 includes a throttling device, commonly a capillary tube or an expansion valve, which throttles and reduces the pressure of the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant liquid coming out of the condenser, so that it becomes a low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant liquid, so that it can enter the evaporator to evaporate and absorb heat.

[0094] In this process, the compressor draws in the low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas from the evaporator and compresses it into high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas. At this point, both the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant increase. The high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas enters the condenser, where it exchanges heat with the surrounding air, dissipating heat into the air and cooling itself to condense into a high-temperature, high-pressure liquid. This high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant liquid then passes through a throttling device, such as a capillary tube or expansion valve. Due to the small orifice of the throttling device, the refrigerant liquid encounters resistance as it passes through, causing a sharp drop in pressure and temperature, transforming it into a low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant liquid. This low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant liquid enters the evaporator, where, due to the lower pressure, the refrigerant liquid rapidly evaporates into gas, absorbing heat from the surrounding air and lowering the temperature of the air around the evaporator, thus cooling the interior space of the refrigerator. The evaporated low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas is then drawn back into the compressor, beginning a new cycle. This cycle repeats continuously, transferring heat from inside the refrigerator 100 to the outside, thus maintaining a low-temperature environment inside the refrigerator 100.

[0095] In some embodiments, the refrigerator 100 includes a humidifying device 3, which is disposed inside the cabinet 1. The humidifying device 3 is used to generate water mist to humidify the storage space in the refrigerator compartment 1a.

[0096] In some embodiments, drawer 2 includes a front panel 21 located on the side of drawer 2 near the door.

[0097] In some embodiments, the drawer 2 includes a partition 22 disposed in the receiving cavity 2a and close to the front panel 21, forming a humidification space 2b between the partition 22 and the front panel 21.

[0098] In some embodiments, the humidifying device 3 is disposed in the humidifying space 2b, which is connected to the storage space in the refrigerator compartment 1a, so that the water mist generated by the humidifying device 3 can enter the storage space.

[0099] If a traditional refrigerator 100 were to add a humidifier 3, it would typically require a dedicated space for its placement, which would undoubtedly reduce the space inside the refrigerator 100 originally used for storing food and other items. However, this refrigerator 100 cleverly utilizes the space near the front panel 21 of the drawer 2, which might otherwise be wasted or underutilized, by installing a partition 22 behind it to house the humidifier 3.

[0100] A partition 22 is installed on the side of the front panel 21 of drawer 2 away from the door. The space between the partition 22 and the front panel 21 is a humidification space 2b. The humidification device 3 is placed in the humidification space 2b, which is connected to the storage space to humidify and preserve the food in the storage space. In the structure of drawer 2, the area between the front panel 21 and the partition 22 is relatively concealed and does not affect the normal storage function of drawer 2. Therefore, there is no need to reserve space for the humidification device 3 in other parts of the refrigerator compartment 1a of refrigerator 100, making more efficient use of the internal space of refrigerator 100. By utilizing this space, which might otherwise be wasted or underutilized, to install the humidification device 3, without taking up additional storage space inside refrigerator 100, and without reserving space for the humidification device 3 in other parts of the refrigerator compartment 1a of refrigerator 100, the internal space of refrigerator 100 is utilized more efficiently. While achieving the humidification and preservation function, the volume occupied by the humidification device 3 in the internal space of refrigerator 100 is reduced.

[0101] It should be noted that the humidification device 3 can utilize any possible humidification principle, and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0102] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 15 , Figure 7 for Figure 5 A magnified view of a section at point C. Figure 8 This is a structural diagram of the drawer behind the front panel, omitting the actual structure. Figure 15 for Figure 8 A magnified view of a section at point G; drawer 2 also includes:

[0103] Support base 23 is set in humidification space 2b. Support base 23 divides humidification space 2b into water storage space 23a and water mist space 23b. Water storage space 23a is configured to store water. Humidification device 3 is set on support base 23.

[0104] The humidifier 3 is configured to convert the water in the water storage space 23a into water mist and discharge it into the water mist space 23b, which is connected to the storage space in the refrigerator compartment 1a.

[0105] In this way, the water storage space 23a is specifically used to store water, providing a stable water source for the humidification device 3 and ensuring the continuous operation of the humidification process; while the water mist space 23b is mainly used to contain the water mist generated by the humidification device 3 and guide it to the storage space in the refrigerator compartment 1a to achieve humidification and preservation of stored items, avoiding problems that may be caused by the accumulation of water mist in the water storage space 23a, such as affecting the humidification effect or causing leakage.

[0106] The humidifier 3 is mounted on the support base 23, allowing it to better coordinate with the water storage space 23a and the water mist space 23b. The humidifier 3 can precisely convert the water in the water storage space 23a into water mist and discharge it into the water mist space 23b. The water mist can enter the storage space more directly and smoothly through the channel connecting to the storage space, reducing loss and obstruction during transmission, thereby improving humidification efficiency and more effectively providing humidification and preservation for the items in the storage space, extending their shelf life.

[0107] The support base 23 not only achieves a reasonable division of space, but also provides a stable support structure for the humidifier 3. The humidifier 3, mounted on the support base 23, is more stable, reducing the possibility of displacement or damage to the humidifier 3 due to vibration of the refrigerator 100 or other factors. This improves the structural stability and reliability of the entire refrigerator 100 humidification system, reduces the probability of malfunctions, and extends the service life of the refrigerator 100.

[0108] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 The front panel 21 is provided with a mist outlet 21a, which is configured to connect the water mist space 23b and the storage space.

[0109] The mist outlet 21a provides a specific channel for the water mist, allowing the water mist generated by the humidifier 3 to accurately enter the storage space in the refrigerator compartment 1a that needs humidification from the water mist space 23b. This avoids the water mist spreading irregularly within the refrigerator 100, improves the utilization efficiency of the water mist, and ensures the targeted and effective humidification.

[0110] As the only water mist outlet, the mist outlet 21a can effectively prevent moisture in the water mist space 23b from leaking uncontrollably to other parts of the refrigerator 100 through other gaps or openings. This reduces the problems of moisture damage to internal components of the refrigerator 100, frost and ice formation that may be caused by water leakage, improves the overall sealing and reliability of the refrigerator 100, and extends the service life of the refrigerator 100.

[0111] Understandably, in actual production, the position, number, and size of the mist holes 21a can be reasonably set according to the layout of the refrigerator compartment 1a and the storage of items, so as to precisely control the diffusion range and humidification of water mist in the storage space, which can better meet the different humidity requirements of different items and help improve the preservation effect of the refrigerator 100 on various items.

[0112] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 15 Humidifier 3 includes:

[0113] Atomizing plate mounting base 31 is provided on support base 23. Atomizing plate mounting base 31 is provided with mounting hole 31a. Support base 23 is provided with clearance hole (not shown in the figure) corresponding to mounting hole 31a.

[0114] Atomizing plate 32 is disposed in mounting hole 31a. Micropores are formed on atomizing plate 32. The micropores allow water mist to pass through and can prevent water from passing through. Atomizing plate 32 converts water in water storage space 23a into water mist through vibration. The water mist is emitted from the bottom of atomizing plate 32 through micropores.

[0115] The atomizing plate 32 is typically made of piezoelectric ceramic material, which possesses a unique piezoelectric effect. When an electric current is applied to the atomizing plate 32, an electric field is generated within it. Due to the piezoelectric effect, the electric field causes the atomizing plate 32 to undergo mechanical deformation, thereby generating high-frequency vibration. The atomizing plate 32 is mounted on a mounting base, with its top surface directly contacting the water in the water storage space 23a. When the atomizing plate 32 vibrates at a high frequency, this vibration is transmitted to the water layer in contact with it. Water has surface tension, and the energy generated by the high-frequency vibration can disrupt this surface tension. Once the surface tension is disrupted, the interaction forces between water molecules weaken, and the water molecules that were originally clustered together are dispersed. Under the action of high-frequency vibration, the water molecules are broken into tiny particles. These tiny particles, under sufficient energy, detach from the water surface, forming a water mist. This water mist enters the bottom enclosed area enclosed by the mounting base and the panel through the micropores on the surface of the atomizing plate 32, and finally dissipates through the mist outlet 21a into the storage space requiring humidification.

[0116] Compared to traditional humidification methods, such as heating and evaporation humidification, the atomizing plate 32 humidification does not require a large amount of energy to heat water, and can reach the required humidity level more quickly. Because the water mist particles produced by the atomizing plate 32 are very fine and uniform, these water mists can be evenly distributed throughout the storage space, avoiding localized excessively high or low humidity. In environments requiring precise humidity control, such as refrigerators 100, uniform humidification ensures that food and other items are in a relatively stable humidity environment, which is beneficial for maintaining their freshness and quality. The atomizing plate 32 has high energy conversion efficiency in the process of converting electrical energy into vibrational energy, and then into water mist. Most of the electrical energy is effectively used to generate high-frequency vibration and atomized water, reducing energy waste and improving energy utilization efficiency.

[0117] The humidifier plate 32 humidifies water by physically converting it into water mist, without involving any chemical reaction. Therefore, it does not produce harmful gases or pollutants, ensuring the safety of the humidification process. Furthermore, the humidifier plate 32 has a relatively simple structure and typically only requires installation on a suitable mounting base to function properly. Its fewer components reduce the probability of malfunctions.

[0118] By providing a mounting hole 31a on the atomizing plate mounting base 31, the atomizing plate 32 is placed within the mounting hole 31a. A corresponding clearance hole is provided on the support base 23, communicating with the mounting hole 31a. This ensures that the bottom of the atomizing plate 32 is in contact with the water mist space 23b, allowing the water mist generated by the atomizing plate 32 to directly enter the water mist space 23b. The atomizing plate mounting base 31, located on the support base 23, provides a stable mounting platform for the atomizing plate 32. This structural design allows the atomizing plate 32 to maintain a relatively fixed position during operation, reducing displacement or damage caused by vibration or other external forces.

[0119] Furthermore, the atomizing plate 32 can be easily removed and installed from the mounting base when maintenance or replacement is required. This reduces the operational difficulty for users or maintenance personnel, saving time and costs. When the atomizing plate 32 malfunctions or reaches the end of its service life, only the atomizing plate 32 needs to be replaced, without requiring large-scale disassembly and repair of the entire humidification device 3. This modular design improves the efficiency and economy of maintenance, and also reduces the impact of maintenance on the normal operation of the refrigerator 100.

[0120] In some embodiments, the humidifying device 3 further includes rubber sleeves, with the atomizing plate 32 sandwiched between two rubber sleeves, and the rubber sleeves are bonded to the mounting base corresponding to the mounting hole 31a. This improves the sealing performance of the atomizing plate 32 during installation, preventing water in the water storage space 23a above the atomizing plate 32 from entering the water mist space 23b through the gap between the atomizing plate 32 and the atomizing plate mounting base 31.

[0121] In some embodiments, a seal is provided at the connection between the support base 23 and the front panel 21 to further prevent water in the water storage space 23a from flowing into the water mist space 23b and then seeping into the storage space.

[0122] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 , Figure 6 for Figure 5 A magnified view of a section at point B. Figure 9 This is a structural schematic diagram of the drawer disclosed in the embodiment of this application from a third-person perspective. The drawer 2 also includes a top cover 24, which covers the top of the partition 22 and the front panel 21 to make the humidification space 2b a relatively sealed space. The top cover 24 is provided with a liquid injection port 24a, which is connected to the humidification space 2b.

[0123] The top cover 24 is positioned on top of the partition 22 and the front panel 21, forming a relatively closed structure that effectively prevents dust, debris, and other foreign objects from entering the humidification space 2b. If these foreign objects enter the humidification space 2b, they may clog the micropores or other components of the humidification device 3, affecting the humidification effect and even causing damage to the humidification device 3. The protection provided by the top cover 24 extends the service life of the humidification device 3 and ensures the stable operation of the refrigerator 100's humidification function. The presence of the top cover 24 reduces the natural evaporation of moisture within the humidification space 2b. During normal use of the refrigerator 100, the flow of outside air and temperature changes may accelerate moisture evaporation. Without the obstruction of the top cover 24, moisture in the humidification space 2b would dissipate more quickly, requiring more frequent water replenishment to maintain the humidification effect. The top cover 24 can, to a certain extent, slow down the rate of moisture evaporation, maintaining a relatively stable moisture content within the humidification space 2b and improving water resource utilization efficiency.

[0124] The liquid inlet 24a on the top cover 24 allows users to easily inject water into the humidification space 2b without having to completely pull the drawer 2 out of the refrigerator 100 or perform complicated disassembly operations on the drawer 2. This greatly improves the convenience of adding water and saves users time and effort.

[0125] Optionally, the injection port 24a is equipped with a rubber plug. After the user adds water, the rubber plug blocks the injection port 24a to prevent water loss.

[0126] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 3 The refrigerator 100 also includes a power supply module 4, which is located outside the drawer 2 and is electrically connected to the atomizing plate 32 via a wire.

[0127] By placing the power supply module 4 on the outside of drawer 2, the power supply system is modularly separated from the humidification device 3 inside drawer 2. When the power supply module 4 malfunctions, maintenance personnel do not need to disassemble the complex internal structure of drawer 2; they only need to inspect or replace the external power supply module 4, greatly reducing maintenance difficulty and cost, and improving maintenance efficiency. Moreover, this modular design facilitates assembly and debugging during the production of refrigerator 100, which is beneficial for improving production efficiency and product quality stability. The humidification space 2b inside drawer 2 has a high humidity level. If the power supply module 4 is placed inside drawer 2, the humid environment may cause the electronic components of the power supply module 4 to become damp and short-circuit, thus affecting its normal operation or even causing damage. Placing the power supply module 4 on the outside of drawer 2 effectively avoids the corrosion of the power supply module 4 by the humid environment, extends the service life of the power supply module 4, and improves the reliability and stability of the entire humidification system of refrigerator 100.

[0128] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 8 and Figure 15 The drawer 2 also includes a bottom plate 25. The portion of the bottom plate 25 located within the humidification space 2b is provided with a wiring hole 25a. The wiring hole 25a is connected to the water mist space 23b and is used to run wires.

[0129] The design of the wiring hole 25a allows for the orderly arrangement of wires, preventing interference with the normal operation of the humidifier 3. The wires do not obstruct the generation and diffusion of water mist, nor do they entangle or collide with other components of the humidifier 3, ensuring stable and efficient operation of the humidifier 3 and thus guaranteeing the humidification and preservation effect of the refrigerator 100. By centrally routing the wires through the wiring hole 25a, the wiring inside the drawer 2 becomes neater and more organized, avoiding a chaotic distribution of wires and improving the utilization rate of the drawer 2's internal space.

[0130] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 3 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 , Figure 10 for Figure 9 A magnified view of a section at point D. Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the power supply component disclosed in an embodiment of this application. The power supply module 4 includes:

[0131] Power supply component 41, which is installed in the housing 1;

[0132] The power-requiring component 42 is located in the drawer 2. The power-requiring component 42 is electrically connected to the atomizing plate 32 via a wire. The power-requiring component 42 and the power supply component 41 correspond to each other along the pulling direction of the drawer 2. When the drawer 2 is in the closed state, the power-requiring component 42 and the power supply component 41 are in contact and connected. When the drawer 2 is in the open state, the power-requiring component 42 and the power supply component 41 are separated.

[0133] When drawer 2 is closed, the electrical component 42 and the power supply component 41 make contact and conduct electricity, and the humidifier 3 starts working; when drawer 2 is open, the electrical component 42 and the power supply component 41 separate, and the humidifier 3 stops working. This automatic power supply control method conforms to the user's usage habits, eliminating the need for the user to manually turn the humidifier 3 on and off. When the user opens drawer 2 to take out items, the humidifier 3 automatically stops to avoid water mist spraying directly onto the user or causing unnecessary water waste; when the user closes drawer 2, the humidifier 3 automatically resumes working, continuously providing suitable humidity for the refrigerator compartment 1a.

[0134] When using the refrigerator 100, users only need to pull out drawer 2 normally to control the power supply and disconnection of the humidifier 3, without any additional operating steps. This greatly simplifies the user's workflow and improves ease of use.

[0135] The power supply automatically cuts off when drawer 2 is opened, and the humidifier 3 stops working when the user opens drawer 2 to take out or put in items. This prevents the humidifier 3 from continuously generating water mist when the door is opened and diffusing it into the environment outside the refrigerator 1, thereby reducing unnecessary energy consumption. This intelligent power supply control method helps reduce the overall energy consumption of the refrigerator 100, which is in line with the concept of energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0136] When drawer 2 is opened, the power supply component 41 is separated from the power-requiring component 42, and the humidifier 3 stops working. This reduces the risk of the user coming into contact with live parts while operating drawer 2, and lowers the possibility of electric shock and other safety accidents. At the same time, it avoids the continuous generation of water mist by the humidifier 3 when drawer 2 is open, reducing the impact of water mist on other components of the refrigerator 100 and the surrounding environment, and further improving the safety and stability of the refrigerator 100.

[0137] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 9 to 14 , Figure 12 for Figure 11 A magnified view of a section at point E in the middle. Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram of the power supply component on the side facing away from the door body, as disclosed in an embodiment of this application. Figure 14 for Figure 13 A partial enlarged view at point F shows that the power supply component 41 includes:

[0138] The first housing 411 is connected to the box 1;

[0139] The first positive electrode spring 412 is connected to the power supply through the positive terminal;

[0140] The first negative electrode spring 413 and the first positive electrode spring 412 are disposed at intervals in the first housing 411. The first negative electrode spring 413 is connected to the power supply through the negative terminal.

[0141] Power-requiring component 42 includes:

[0142] The second housing 421 is connected to the drawer 2, and the second housing 421 corresponds to the first housing 411 along the pull-out direction of the drawer 2;

[0143] The second positive electrode spring 422 corresponds to the first positive electrode spring 412 along the pull-out direction of the drawer 2;

[0144] The second negative electrode spring 423 and the second positive electrode spring 422 are spaced apart on the first housing 411, and the second negative electrode spring 423 and the first negative electrode spring 413 correspond to each other along the pull-out direction of the drawer 2.

[0145] The first housing 411 has a mounting groove 411a on the side facing the second housing 421. The mounting groove 411a is located between the first positive electrode spring 412 and the first negative electrode spring 413. The second housing 421 has a mating part 421a on the side facing the first housing 411. The mating part 421a is located between the second positive electrode spring 422 and the second negative electrode spring 423. The mating part 421a matches the mounting groove 411a so that when the drawer 2 is in the closed state, the mating part 421a is located in the mounting groove 411a.

[0146] When drawer 2 is closed, the mating part 421a is precisely positioned within the mounting groove 411a, providing excellent positioning and guidance. This ensures more precise contact during the spring docking process, further improving the stability of circuit continuity and reducing malfunctions such as power outages or short circuits caused by spring misalignment. Furthermore, both the mounting groove 411a and the mating part 421a effectively isolate the positive and negative springs, preventing them from contacting and causing a short circuit.

[0147] Both the positive and negative contact springs are designed with elasticity. When drawer 2 is closed, the elastic contact between the springs provides a certain amount of pressure, ensuring a good electrical connection. Even if there is slight vibration or shaking during the operation of refrigerator 100, the elasticity of the springs can keep them in close contact, avoiding poor contact caused by vibration and improving the stability and reliability of power supply.

[0148] The power supply component 41 and the power demand component 42 are installed and fixed through the first housing 411 and the second housing 421, respectively, providing solid support and protection for the spring. This structural design makes the spring less prone to deformation or damage during long-term use, extending its service life. At the same time, the housing also prevents the spring from being subjected to external impacts and friction, further improving the durability of the entire power supply system.

[0149] In some embodiments, the first housing 411 has a groove that matches the shape of the second housing 421, and the second housing 421 can be located in the groove when the drawer 2 is closed.

[0150] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 12 The first housing 411 includes a first mounting hole 4111 and a second mounting hole 4112. A first positive electrode spring 412 is disposed on the side of the first housing 411 near the door. The first end of the first positive electrode spring 412 passes through the first mounting hole 4111, and the second end of the first positive electrode spring 412 passes through the second mounting hole 4112. The power supply assembly 41 also includes a positioning baffle 4114, which is disposed on the side of the first housing 411 near the door. One side of the first positive electrode spring 412 abuts against the hole wall of the first mounting hole 4111 and the second mounting hole 4112, and the other side abuts against the positioning baffle 4114.

[0151] The two ends of the first positive electrode spring 412 are bent into the first mounting hole 4111 and the second mounting hole 4112 respectively, providing precise positioning and stable support for the spring. The wall of the mounting hole 31a restricts the movement of the spring along its length, and the positioning rib 4114 further restricts the movement of the spring in the width direction. The spring is fixed from multiple angles, so that the position of the spring in the first housing 411 is fixed, avoiding displacement or loosening of the spring due to factors such as the vibration of the drawer 2 and the slight shaking of the refrigerator 100 during daily use of the refrigerator 100, thereby ensuring the stability of the power supply connection.

[0152] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 13 and Figure 14 The refrigerator 100 also includes a positioning component, which is disposed between the first housing 411 and the first spring piece to position the first positive spring piece 412 and the first negative spring piece 413, thereby ensuring that the spring pieces can be more easily installed in the appropriate position.

[0153] Specifically, in some embodiments, the positioning component includes a protrusion 4113 and a positioning hole 412a. The protrusion 4113 is disposed on the side of the first housing 411 away from the door body, and the positioning hole 412a is disposed at the first end of the first positive electrode spring 412. The protrusion 4113 passes through the positioning hole 412a so that the spring is mounted on the protrusion 4113.

[0154] It is understandable that the first negative electrode spring 413 also has the above-mentioned first mounting hole 4111, second mounting hole 4112, positioning rib 4114 and positioning hole 412a, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0155] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 3 to 6 , Figure 6 for Figure 5 A magnified view of a portion at point B, showing the front panel 21, which includes:

[0156] The frame portion 211 is surrounded by a mounting opening;

[0157] Transparent plate part 212 is provided at the mounting port.

[0158] Users can directly observe the liquid level changes in the humidification space 2b through the transparent panel 212 without opening drawer 2, thus controlling the water volume in the water storage space 23a. The frame 211 provides reliable support and fixation for the transparent panel 212, ensuring the overall stability of the front panel 21. In daily use, drawer 2 is frequently pulled out and out; the frame 211 effectively protects the transparent panel 212 from damage caused by external impacts, extending the service life of the front panel 21.

[0159] In some embodiments, drawer 2 further includes:

[0160] The first sealing element 26 is disposed between the edge of the front panel 21 facing the door body and the frame portion 211.

[0161] The second seal 27 is disposed around the edge of the side of the front panel 21 facing the humidification space 2b to seal the gap between the front panel 21 and the top cover 24, the gap between the front panel 21 and the bottom plate 25, and the gap between the front panel 21 and the frame portion 211.

[0162] The first seal 26 and the second seal 27 effectively prevent water in the water storage space 23a from seeping out of the drawer 2. The refrigerator 100 contains many electrical components, such as the lighting system and sensors. If water in the water storage space 23a seeps out of the drawer 2, these electrical components may become damp, potentially causing short circuits, malfunctions, and other problems. This would not only affect the normal operation of the refrigerator 100 but also pose a safety hazard. The first seal 26 and the second seal 27 effectively prevent water seepage, ensuring that the electrical components are kept in a dry environment, extending their service life, and guaranteeing the safety and reliability of the refrigerator 100.

[0163] Metal components inside the refrigerator 100, such as the drawer slides and frame, are prone to rust and corrosion when exposed to water. Rusty components can affect the smoothness of drawer 2's operation, reducing the user experience of the refrigerator 100, and in severe cases, may even cause component damage requiring replacement. The seals prevent water leakage, protecting these metal components and maintaining the integrity and stability of the refrigerator 100's internal structure.

[0164] The water storage space 23a is the water supply area for the humidifier 3. If leakage occurs, the water level will drop too quickly, affecting the normal operation of the humidifier 3. The first seal 26 and the second seal 27 prevent water leakage and ensure that the water level in the water storage space 23a is relatively stable, so that the humidifier 3 can continuously and stably convert water into water mist, providing suitable humidity for the refrigerator compartment 1a and improving the food preservation effect.

[0165] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 8 and Figure 9 Drawer 2 also includes a liquid injection baffle 28, which is arranged around the liquid injection port 24a, and the liquid injection baffle 28 and the partition form a liquid injection channel, which is staggered from the atomizing plate in the vertical direction.

[0166] The injection baffle 28 is arranged around the injection port 24a. When the user injects water into the humidification space 2b through the injection port 24a, the injection baffle 28 acts as a barrier and guide. It prevents water from splashing onto the partition 22 and the inner wall of the front panel 21 inside the humidification space 2b due to impact or shaking during the injection process. If water splashes onto these inner walls, it will affect the water storage effect of the water storage space 23a.

[0167] When water is injected through the injection channel, it is not directly aligned with the atomizing component, preventing direct impact from the water flow. The water falls onto the base plate 25 through the injection channel, gradually accumulating and submerging the atomizing plate 32 before it comes into contact with the water. Atomizing components are typically quite delicate, and direct impact from water flow can damage their structure, such as causing displacement of the atomizing plate 32, blockage of micropores, or loosening of other components, thus affecting the normal operation and lifespan of the atomizing component. The proper design of the injection channel effectively avoids this situation, protecting the integrity and stability of the atomizing component.

[0168] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
