[0050] The refrigeration system varies according to the working mode of the refrigerator 10. Taking a heat pump refrigerator 10 as an example, the refrigeration system includes a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, and a capillary tube / expansion valve, etc. The compressor is the core power component of the refrigeration system, which drives the circulation of refrigerant, and is generally divided into two types: fixed frequency and variable frequency. The condenser dissipates the heat of the refrigerant to the outside (usually located at the back or both sides of the refrigerator 10). The evaporator absorbs the heat inside the refrigerator 10 to cool the surrounding air (direct-cooled refrigerator 10 through natural convection, and air-cooled refrigerator 10 through fan circulation). The capillary tube / expansion valve adjusts the flow of refrigerant to control the evaporation pressure. In some embodiments, the refrigeration system can also include a drying filter, which is used to remove impurities and moisture in the refrigerant.
[0051] The lighting system refers to the light-emitting components 230 provided inside the refrigerator 10 for providing illumination and light-emitting components 230 for light preservation, etc. The lighting system can provide different types of light-emitting components 230, such as illumination light-emitting components 230, light-emitting components 230 that can emit red light, light-emitting components 230 that can emit blue light, and light-emitting components 230 that can emit ultraviolet light, to meet the different needs of illumination, preservation, or sterilization inside the refrigerator 10. Generally, the illumination light-emitting components 230 are used to provide daily illumination functions to facilitate users to take and place food; the light-emitting components 230 for light preservation are used to irradiate food with specific light spectrum to delay the deterioration of food and maintain its freshness.
[0052] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 In an embodiment of the present application, the refrigerator 10 comprises a refrigerator main body 100 and a partition 200, the refrigerator main body 100 is provided with a storage space 110; the partition 200 is arranged in the refrigerator main body 100; the partition 200 comprises a light-reflecting plate 210 and a light-transmitting plate 220, the light-reflecting plate 210 and the light-transmitting plate 220 are arranged at intervals, and a light-emitting assembly 230 for light illumination preservation is arranged between the light-reflecting plate 210 and the light-transmitting plate 220; the light-reflecting plate 210 has a first light-reflecting surface 211 facing the light-transmitting plate 220, and the light-emitting surface 231 of the light-emitting assembly 230 is arranged at an angle with the first light-reflecting surface 211, so that at least part of the light emitted by the light-emitting assembly 230 is reflected through the first light-reflecting surface 211 and then passes through the light-transmitting plate 220 to enter the storage space 110.
[0053] Among them, the refrigerator main body 100 refers to the related components of the box body, the refrigeration system, etc., in other words, the refrigerator main body 100 refers to the necessary components for the normal operation of the refrigerator 10, and the box body constitutes the storage space 110.
[0054] The light-emitting assembly 230 is a component in the light system of the refrigerator 10 that illuminates the stored items with appropriate functional light sources (such as red light, blue light, or ultraviolet light, etc.) to achieve the effect of preserving the items. The light-emitting assembly 230 usually includes light-emitting units, light source driving circuits, optical lenses or reflectors, power adapters, and housings, etc. Among them, one light-emitting assembly 230 can have one or more light-emitting units. The light-emitting unit is the core part of the light-emitting assembly 230, which refers to an electronic device that can directly convert electrical energy into light energy, usually using high-efficiency LEDs (Light Emitting Diode). According to different preservation needs, the wavelength of the LED light source can be selected in different types, such as red light, blue light, ultraviolet light, etc. The spectral characteristics of each light source help preserve specific types of food. Red light helps slow down the oxidation process of food, keeping it fresh. Blue light can slow down bacterial growth, helping to extend the shelf life of fruits, vegetables, and other items. Ultraviolet light (UV light) can effectively kill bacteria and mold, helping to prevent food spoilage. The light source driving circuit is responsible for providing stable power support and controlling the opening, closing, and brightness adjustment of the light-emitting unit. The driving circuit needs to adjust the power supply according to the voltage and current requirements of different types of LEDs to ensure the stable operation of the light-emitting unit. The optical lens or reflector is used to adjust the divergence angle or focusing direction of the light source, so that the light can effectively cover the stored food area. The power adapter is used to provide appropriate voltage and current for the light-emitting unit to reduce the impact of voltage fluctuations on the light source or other systems. The housing is used to protect the internal components from dust, moisture, and other external factors.
[0055] Of course, the refrigerator body 100 also includes a control device for adjusting the switching, brightness and possible spectrum adjustment of the light source (for example, adjusting the proportion of red and blue light according to different types of food).

The light-reflecting plate 210 is a plate material with high reflectivity, and its surface is specially treated (such as coating, frosting, etc.), which can effectively reflect light. The main function of the light-reflecting plate 210 is to reflect the light incident on the reflecting surface back, change the propagation direction of the light, and realize the redistribution or enhancement of the light intensity in a specific area, so as to optimize the overall lighting effect or meet specific optical requirements. The light-transmitting plate 220 is a plate material with certain light-transmitting performance, which allows part of the light to pass through itself, and at the same time may perform certain degree of scattering, refraction or filtering treatment on the transmitted light. The function of the light-transmitting plate 220 is to ensure that the light can penetrate the partition 200 while adjusting the brightness, uniformity and spectrum composition of the light according to actual needs.
[0057] The first reflecting surface 211 refers to the reflecting surface on the light-reflecting plate 210 that can reflect light, which is usually a mirror surface; the first reflecting surface 211 is usually the two sides of the light-reflecting plate 210 along its thickness direction, and the first reflecting surface 211 can be a flat surface or a surface formed by the convergence of multiple surfaces, for example, a protrusion is arranged on one side of the light-reflecting plate 210 for forming the first reflecting surface 211.
[0058] The partition 200 is arranged in the refrigerator body 100, usually, the partition 200 is mounted on the cabinet, which can be detachable connection such as clamping, buckling, screwing, etc., or the partition 200 and the cabinet are fixedly connected; in addition, the partition 200 is arranged in the storage space 110, and the partition 200 can divide the storage space 110 into a plurality of storage cavities 111, or the partition 200 can not divide the storage space 110, for example, the partition plate is attached to the cabinet.

In this way, the light reflecting plate 210 and the light transmitting plate 220 cooperate, the light reflecting plate 210 reflects light, and the light transmitting plate 220 allows light to pass through.

A plurality of light-emitting assemblies 230 are arranged in a spaced manner along the length extension direction of the first edge portion 213a, that is, a plurality of light-emitting assemblies 230 are arranged on the long edge; a plurality of light-emitting assemblies 230 are arranged in a spaced manner along the length extension direction of the second edge portion 213b; that is, a plurality of light-emitting assemblies 230 are arranged on the short edge; a plurality of light-emitting assemblies 230 are arranged in a spaced manner along the length extension direction of the first edge portion 213a, and a plurality of light-emitting assemblies 230 are arranged in a spaced manner along the length extension direction of the second edge portion 213b, that is, a plurality of light-emitting assemblies 230 are arranged on both the long edge and the short edge.
[0072] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of light-emitting assemblies 230 are arranged in a uniformly spaced manner along the length extension direction of the first edge portion 213a; and / or a plurality of light-emitting assemblies 230 are arranged in a uniformly spaced manner along the length extension direction of the second edge portion 213b. In this way, the uniformity of the light distribution of the storage space 110 covered by the partition 200 can be further improved.
[0073] In some embodiments, in order to reduce the thickness of the partition 200, the light-emitting surface 231 is arranged perpendicularly to the first light-reflecting surface 211.
[0074] In other embodiments, referring to Figure 5 , in order to improve the uniformity of the light distribution in the storage cavity 111, the light-emitting surface 231 is arranged obliquely towards the light-transmitting plate 220.
[0075] In other embodiments, referring to Figure 6 , in order to improve the uniformity of the light distribution in the storage cavity 111, the light-emitting surface 231 is arranged obliquely towards the first light-reflecting surface 211.
[0076] Based on any of the foregoing embodiments, the number of partitions 200 is a plurality, and the plurality of partitions 200 are arranged in a spaced manner along the vertical direction to divide the storage space 110 into a plurality of storage cavities 111.
[0077] The plurality of partitions 200 are arranged in a vertical direction, and the partitions 200 are designed to divide the storage space 110 inside the refrigerator 10 into a plurality of storage cavities 111. In this way, the storage space 110 can be reasonably allocated according to needs, avoiding the stacking or mixing of items, thereby optimizing the use of the storage space 110. Each partition cavity can independently store different types of food or items, and different storage cavities 111 can require different lighting conditions to achieve better preservation effects. Through the layout of the plurality of partitions 200, the lighting preservation conditions of each item can be better controlled.
[0078] Based on the previous embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The light-transmitting plate 220 is arranged on the upper side of the light-reflecting plate 210, or the light-transmitting plate 220 is arranged on the lower side of the light-reflecting plate 210.
[0079] Since the light-transmitting plate 220 is located on the side of the light-reflecting plate 210 where the first light-reflecting surface 211 is arranged, the light-transmitting plate 220 is arranged on the upper side of the light-reflecting plate 210, that is, as shown in Figure 1 , the overall trend of the light source is to irradiate from bottom to top; the light-transmitting plate 220 is arranged on the lower side of the light-reflecting plate 210, that is, as shown in Figure 2 , the overall trend of the light source is to irradiate from top to bottom.
[0080] Further, in order to improve the uniformity of light distribution in some storage cavities 111, the side of the light-reflecting plate 210 away from the light-transmitting plate 220 is provided with a second light-reflecting surface 212.
[0081] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 1 , the plurality of storage cavities 111 defined from top to bottom are respectively a first storage cavity, a second storage cavity, and a third storage cavity, and the plurality of partitions 200 defined from top to bottom are respectively a first partition, a second partition, and a third partition; wherein, through the arrangement of the second light-reflecting surface 212, at least part of the light emitted by the light-emitting assembly 230 arranged on the second partition is reflected by the first light-reflecting surface 211 of the second partition and then enters the storage space 110 after passing through the light-transmitting plate 220, and the at least part of the light entering the storage space 110 can be reflected by the second light-reflecting surface 212 and then re-enter the storage space 110.
[0082] In some embodiments, the refrigerator body 100 has a control device electrically connected with the plurality of light-emitting assemblies 230, and the control device is configured to control each light-emitting assembly 230 to emit at least one of white light, red light, blue light, and violet light.
[0083] The control device refers to the central processing unit in the system of the refrigerator 10, which is responsible for receiving and processing input signals from other devices, and making corresponding control decisions according to pre-set logic and rules.
[0084] The control device is electrically connected to the plurality of light emitting components 230, so that the plurality of light emitting components 230 can be independently controlled, which means that each light emitting component 230 can be individually adjusted in brightness, color or working state according to needs. The working state here refers to working or not working. This means that different light emitting components 230 can play different optical effects at different times and conditions. For example, a certain light emitting component 230 may emit white light, while another may emit red light, and the brightness, frequency or color of the two can be independently adjusted according to needs.
[0085] The light emitting component 230 can be used to emit at least one of white light, red light, blue light and violet light. In this embodiment, the light emitting component 230 can emit single color light, or the light emitting component 230 has a multi-color light emitting function (hereinafter referred to as multi-color light emitting component 230). The multi-color light emitting function means that each light emitting component 230 has the ability to emit multiple colors of light. The multi-color light emitting component 230 can produce different colors of light (such as white light, red light, blue light and violet light) by adjusting the input current, frequency or other control parameters, for example, using a combination of RGB (red, green and blue) three-color light emitting elements, or a single multi-color light emitting element (such as a white light LED and an RGB LED) can emit different color light as needed.
[0086] Preferably, the light emitting component 230 is a multi-color light emitting component 230. Thus, since each light emitting component 230 can be independently controlled and emit different colors of light, the system can automatically adjust or manually adjust the light output according to different user needs or use environments.
[0087] On the basis of the previous embodiment, the refrigerator body 100 further has a plurality of storage cavities 111 and an article identification device arranged in each storage cavity 111. The article identification device of each storage cavity 111 is electrically connected to the control device; the article identification device is used to identify the articles stored in the plurality of storage cavities 111 and output an electrical signal representing the category of the articles stored in the corresponding storage cavity 111; the control device is used to control the light emitting component 230 corresponding to the storage cavity 111 to emit light of a corresponding color according to the electrical signal representing the category of the articles stored in the corresponding storage cavity 111.
[0088] An item identification device is arranged in each storage cavity 111. The item identification device can identify the type of the item in each storage cavity 111. The item identification device can obtain the type information of the item by a sensor, image recognition technology, radio frequency identification, and convert the information into an electrical signal for output. For example, the item identification device generally includes an image acquisition unit and an internal item database. The image acquisition unit acquires the item in the storage cavity 111, and then compares with the internal item database. If the comparison is successful, the type of the item in each storage cavity 111, such as fresh fruit, vegetable, meat, dairy product, etc., is automatically identified.
[0089] Each storage cavity 111 is provided with at least one light emitting assembly 230. The light emitting assembly 230 can emit light of a specific color according to the type of the item. For example, different light spectrums can be used for different types of food, such as blue light for delaying bacterial growth, red light for delaying oxidation, etc. This helps to optimize the food storage environment and prolong the shelf life of the food.
[0090] The item identification device installed in each storage cavity 111 can accurately identify the type of the stored item and transmit an electrical signal to the control device. The identification process is based on a sensor or image recognition technology, which can accurately classify the type of the item and avoid human error. After receiving the electrical signal from the item identification device, the control device can adjust the light emitting assembly 230 associated with the storage cavity 111 according to the requirements of each type of item. For example, when the control device identifies that the storage cavity 111 stores vegetables, the control device can instruct the light emitting assembly 230 to emit blue light or ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength to inhibit bacterial growth and prolong the shelf life of the vegetables. When the control device identifies that the storage cavity 111 stores fruit, the control device can select to emit red light or other light suitable for fruit preservation.
[0091] The embodiment realizes intelligent control of the refrigerator 10 through the linkage of the item identification device and the light emitting assembly 230. The refrigerator 10 can automatically adjust the light according to the type of the stored food, and can avoid manual adjustment and intervention by the user, making the management of the refrigerator 10 more convenient and intelligent.
[0092] In an embodiment, the light beam angle of the light emitting assembly 230 is 30° to 120°.
[0093] The light beam angle of the light emitting assembly 230 is adjustable, which means that the light source in the refrigerator 10 can adjust the angle of the light beam divergence, such as Figure 7 as indicated by a of the light emitting assembly 230, ranging from 30° to 120°, to adapt to the lighting needs of different items. Specifically, the smaller the light beam angle, the more concentrated the light beam, which is suitable for items that require strong and directional light; and the larger the light beam angle, the more dispersed the light beam, which is suitable for items that require uniform light.
[0094] Due to the different types of food have different needs for light, by adjusting the angle of the light beam, the system can achieve targeted light program, thereby improving the preservation effect of food. For example, fruits and vegetables may need more dispersed light to delay the oxidation and maturation process, while some meat may need more concentrated light to keep fresh. In addition, since the items in the storage cavity 111 may need different light conditions due to different spatial layouts, the adjustable angle of the light beam can adapt to the needs of various layouts and provide the most suitable lighting program for each storage area.
[0095] Exemplarily, by driving mechanism, the driving mechanism is drivingly connected with the light emitting unit, so that the light emitting unit is close to or away from the light emitting surface 231. When the distance between the light emitting unit and the light emitting surface 231 is larger, the beam angle of the light emitting assembly 230 is smaller. When the distance between the light emitting unit and the light emitting surface 231 is smaller, the beam angle of the light emitting assembly 230 is larger.
