[0026] like Figure 1-5As shown, a refrigerator with a detachable slush-making component includes a body 1. The body 1 has an inner liner 2 with an opening at the top, exposed for placing items to be preserved. A lid 3 is rotatably mounted on the body 1 to cover the opening of the inner liner 2. A detachable slush-making component 4 is located on the upper surface of the body 1. The slush-making component 4 can be connected to the refrigerator body 1 for easy carrying and use in conjunction with the refrigerator. The two are detachable, facilitating the emptying of water from the slush-making component 4 and easy replacement and maintenance. Different sizes of slush-making components can also be used according to user needs. The slush-making component 4 includes an ultrasonic device 41 that produces slush from frozen beverages. In use, a small amount of water is injected into the slush-making component 4, and the frozen beverage taken from the inner liner 2 of the refrigerator is placed on the slush-making component 4. The vibration of the ultrasonic device 41 causes the frozen water in the beverage bottle to turn into a slush. The lower end of the smoothie-making component 4 is provided with an upper connector 42 that is electrically connected to the ultrasonic device 41. The upper end of the housing 1 is provided with a detachable lower connector 43 that is electrically connected to the upper connector 42. The connection between the upper connector 42 and the lower connector 43 enables the electrical connection between the smoothie-making component 4 and the housing 1 of the refrigerator, thereby controlling the operation of the ultrasonic device 41 of the smoothie-making component 4 and supplying power to the ultrasonic device 41. The smoothie component base 44 contains a circuit board 410 that is electrically connected to the upper connector 42 and the ultrasonic device 41, an LED light 49 that is electrically connected to the circuit board 410, and a light-transmitting block 411 that can transmit light from the LED light 49. The side of the smoothie component base 44 has a light groove 412 for the LED light 49 to be installed. The light-transmitting block 411 is fixed to the ice slush component base 44 by screws. The light-transmitting block 411 can be made of black light-transmitting material, or it can have holes to transmit light. The light-transmitting block 411 is composed of an annular side wall and a bottom wall. The light from the LED light 49 is transmitted through the annular side wall. The bottom wall has a hole in the middle for the bottom wall to extend into. The bottom wall presses down on the ultrasonic device 41. When in working condition, the LED light 49 is lit. The structure is simple and easy to install.

[0027] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the slush-making component 4 includes a slush-making component base 44. The upper surface of the slush-making component base 44 is provided with an ice-making trough 45 with an upper opening for placing iced beverage bottles. The bottom of the ice-making trough 45 is provided with a buckle 413. An ultrasonic device 41 is set on the bottom of the ice-making trough 45 and locked by the buckle 413. The upper connector 42 is set on the lower surface of the slush-making component base 44. By setting the ice-making trough 45, iced beverages can be accurately fixed on the upper side of the ultrasonic device 41, realizing the rapid making of slush.

[0028] like Figure 1-4As shown, the upper end of the smoothie component base 44 is rotatably connected to a flip cover 48 that covers the smoothie trough 45. When using it, first pour a small amount of water into the smoothie trough 45, then put the iced beverage directly into the smoothie trough 45. After the smoothie is made, remove the beverage, close the lid, and it is easy to use.

[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the upper surface of the housing 1 has a smoothie component mounting groove 11 with an upper opening for the smoothie component base 44 to be inserted, and the lower connector 43 is located at the bottom of the smoothie component mounting groove 11; the lower surface of the smoothie component base 44 has a smoothie component boss 46 that extends downward and is inserted into the smoothie component mounting groove 11, and the upper connector 42 is located at the bottom of the smoothie component boss 46. By cooperating with the smoothie component mounting groove 11, the smoothie making component 4 can be securely installed on the housing 1, and the accurate electrical connection between the upper connector 42 and the lower connector 43 can also be ensured.

[0030] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the lower end face of the smoothie component boss 46 is provided with a boss groove 47, and the upper end connector 42 is provided at the bottom of the boss groove 47 and extends out of the bottom surface of the boss groove 47. The upper end connector 42 extends out of the bottom surface of the smoothie component boss 46 and is connected to the upper end connector 43, thereby improving the accuracy of the electrical connection between the upper end connector 42 and the lower end connector 43.

[0031] In this case, the upper connector 42 and the lower connector 43 are magnetically attracted electrical connectors that attract each other. After the slush component protrusion 46 of the slush component making component 4 is inserted into the slush component mounting groove 11 of the housing 1, the upper connector 42 at the bottom of the slush component protrusion 46 and the lower connector 43 at the bottom of the slush component mounting groove 11 are attracted and connected, which further prevents the slush component making component 4 from detaching from the slush component mounting groove 11 of the housing 1, and also further improves the accuracy of the electrical connection between the upper connector 42 and the lower connector 43.

[0032] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the diameter of the slush component base 44 is larger than the diameter of the slush component boss 46. After the slush component boss 46 is inserted into the slush component mounting groove 11, the lower end face of the slush component base 44 abuts against the upper end face of the housing 1, thereby increasing the load-bearing capacity of the slush making component 4.

[0033] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the opening edge of the slush component mounting groove 11 is provided with a rounded guide edge 12, which facilitates the quick insertion of the slush component boss 46 of the slush making component 4 into the slush component mounting groove 11 of the box body 1; the rounded guide edge 12 is provided with a vertically arranged and outwardly extending rib 13, which facilitates the flow of air into the slush component mounting groove 11, thereby facilitating the removal and separation of the slush component boss 46 from the slush component mounting groove 11.

[0034] like Figure 1and 3 As shown, the cabinet 1 contains a central control panel 5 connected to the lower connector 43. Inside the cabinet 1 are a compressor 6, a condenser 7, and an evaporator 8, all electrically connected to the central control panel 5. The evaporator 8 is wrapped around the inner liner 2. The upper surface of the cabinet 1 has a command input panel 9 connected to the central control panel 5 for inputting control commands. The command input panel 9 is a touch panel. In use, the power cord can be plugged into the socket 21 to supply power to the refrigerator. After inputting control commands such as start-up and refrigeration temperature through the command input panel 9, the central control panel 5 controls the compressor 6, condenser 7, and evaporator 8 to work, refrigerating the inner liner 2. When making smoothies, a smoothie-making command can be input through the command input panel 9. The central control panel 5 supplies power to the ultrasonic device 41 of the smoothie-making component 4 and controls the ultrasonic device 41 to make smoothies through the connection between the upper connector 42 and the lower connector 43.

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the evaporator 8 is a tubular shape evenly wound around the outer wall of the inner liner 2. At the same time, the lid 3 is equipped with a convection fan 23 that blows air downwards to allow air to circulate inside the inner liner 2. The convection fan 23 blows air downwards to allow air to circulate inside the inner liner 2. The convection fan 23 blows towards the middle of the inner liner 2, and the airflow flows downwards, flows to the side wall, and then flows upwards, thus forming a circulation. This allows the airflow inside the inner liner 2 to circulate, thereby reducing the temperature difference between the inner edge and the middle of the inner liner 2 and achieving the purpose of uniform temperature.

[0036] like Figure 7 As shown, the bottom of the inner liner 2 is provided with a drain hole 24 and a sieve 25 that blocks the drain hole 24. The drain hole 24 is connected to the outside of the box body 1 to facilitate the discharge of wastewater.

[0037] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in order to make the structure of the housing 1 compact and easy to install, a heat sink is provided on one side of the housing 1. The heat sink is detachably installed on the side of the housing 1 at the position shown in the lower right corner of the diagram. The compressor 6 and the condenser 7 are located inside the heat sink. The heat sink also has a cooling fan and a heat dissipation mesh 22 is provided on the heat sink, through which hot air flows out.

[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the contents of this utility model specification and drawings under the inventive concept of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
