[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigeration equipment technology, and in particular to a refrigerator. Background Technology

[0002] One publicly available refrigerator has a refrigeration space with a crisper drawer inside. The drawer has a cover on its top side, and a water tray is mounted on the cover. The water tray has a misting plate that provides humidifying mist into the drawer to improve the preservation of food. The water tray is mounted on the cover in a top-bottom configuration. Removing the water tray requires prying up one end and then pulling it vertically, which is inconvenient.

[0003] The information disclosed in this background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background technology of this application, and therefore may include prior art that is not known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the problems pointed out in the background art, this utility model proposes a refrigerator that facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the water tank.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution:

[0006] In some embodiments of this application, a refrigerator is provided, wherein an inner liner forms a refrigerator compartment; a fresh-keeping drawer is disposed in the refrigerator compartment, and a drawer cavity is formed inside the fresh-keeping drawer; a cover is disposed in the refrigerator compartment, and the cover is configured to close the top opening of the drawer cavity; a mounting bracket is disposed on the side of the cover facing the drawer cavity, and a water storage tank is formed on the mounting bracket; a water box is detachably disposed on the mounting bracket, and the water box is configured to supply water to the water storage tank; an atomizing part is disposed on the mounting bracket, and the atomizing part is configured to provide humidifying mist to the drawer cavity, and the water storage tank is configured to supply water to the atomizing part.

[0007] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: This application detachably mounts the water tank on the mounting bracket, facilitating the installation and removal of the water tank. The mounting bracket is located on the side of the cover plate facing the drawer cavity, forming a water storage tank, and the atomizing part is also located on the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket integrates the functional components for water storage and generating humidifying mist, making the internal structure of the refrigerator more compact and reasonable.

[0008] The water box supplies water to the water reservoir on the mounting bracket, which in turn supplies water to the atomizing unit, which then provides humidifying mist to the drawer cavity. This water supply and mist generation process design ensures that the humidity inside the drawer cavity is continuously and stably replenished.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, a refrigerator is provided, wherein an inner liner forms a refrigerator compartment; a fresh-keeping drawer is disposed in the refrigerator compartment, and a drawer cavity is formed within the fresh-keeping drawer; a cover is disposed in the refrigerator compartment, and the cover is configured to close the top opening of the drawer cavity; a mounting bracket is disposed on the side of the cover facing the drawer cavity, and a slot is formed on the mounting bracket, the slot having an opening facing a horizontal direction, and a water storage tank is formed on the mounting bracket; a water box is configured to be inserted into or removed from the slot through the opening of the slot in a horizontal direction, and the water box is configured to supply water to the water storage tank; an atomizing unit is disposed on the mounting bracket, the atomizing unit is configured to provide humidifying mist to the drawer cavity, and the water storage tank is configured to supply water to the atomizing unit.

[0010] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: A slot with a horizontal opening is provided on the mounting bracket, allowing the water box to be directly inserted into or removed from the slot horizontally through the opening. This horizontal insertion and removal design completely eliminates the complex operating logic of the traditional vertical direction. Users do not need to deliberately control the angle and force applied; they can complete the installation and removal of the water box simply by using natural horizontal pushing and pulling movements, facilitating the installation and removal of the water box.

[0011] The water box is stably installed in the slot via a horizontal plug-in method, forming a more reliable water supply relationship with the water storage tank. Compared to traditional structures that may suffer from leaks or water supply interruptions due to insecure installation, the horizontal slot in this design provides a more stable restraint on the water box, ensuring a continuous and even water supply from the water box to the water storage tank. The water storage tank then provides a stable water supply to the atomizing unit, enabling it to continuously generate humidifying mist. This avoids fluctuations in humidity within the drawer cavity caused by water supply fluctuations, providing a constant humidity environment for food preservation.

[0012] The horizontal insert design cleverly utilizes the horizontal space under the cover, without taking up additional vertical storage height, ensuring that the effective volume of the crisper drawer remains unaffected. For the transparent glass shelves, the horizontally installed water tank does not obstruct the view, allowing users to clearly observe the condition of the food inside the drawer, thus balancing functionality and visibility.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, a water inlet is provided at the bottom of the water storage tank, and the atomizing part is located below the water storage tank. The atomizing part includes an atomizing plate, which is provided corresponding to the water inlet.

[0014] Another technical solution among the above-mentioned technical solutions has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0015] The water inlet at the bottom of the water tank is positioned to correspond with the atomizing plate, forming an efficient connection path from water storage to atomization. Water in the water tank can flow naturally to the atomizing plate through the inlet without the need for complex guiding structures, ensuring that the atomizing plate always has enough water for atomization. This avoids atomization interruptions due to untimely water supply and guarantees the continuity of the humidification process within the drawer cavity.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the atomizing part further includes a first mounting seat, and the atomizing sheet is disposed on the first mounting seat; the atomizing part further includes a second mounting seat, the second mounting seat is disposed on the bottom wall of the mounting bracket facing the drawer cavity, and the first mounting seat is limited between the second mounting seat and the bottom wall of the mounting bracket; the second mounting seat is provided with a spray nozzle, and the atomizing sheet is disposed corresponding to the spray nozzle.

[0017] Another technical solution among the above-mentioned technical solutions has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0018] The first mounting base is made of materials such as rubber pads, which have a certain degree of elasticity and cushioning performance. It can effectively absorb the vibration generated by the atomizing plate during operation, reduce the impact of vibration on the atomizing plate itself and surrounding components, lower the probability of damage to the atomizing plate due to long-term vibration, and extend its service life. At the same time, the first mounting base is limited and fixed by the second mounting base and the bottom wall of the mounting frame, ensuring that the atomizing plate always maintains a precise alignment with the water inlet and spray nozzle during operation, avoiding poor mist output or reduced atomization efficiency due to positional misalignment.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the bottom wall of the mounting bracket is provided with a mounting groove, the water inlet is provided corresponding to the mounting groove, and the first mounting seat is embedded in the mounting groove.

[0020] Another technical solution among the above-mentioned technical solutions has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0021] The mounting groove on the bottom wall of the mounting bracket provides precise installation positioning for the first mounting base. Because the water inlet is designed to correspond to the mounting groove, when the first mounting base is embedded in the mounting groove, the atomizing plate on the first mounting base can form a more precise correspondence with the water inlet, ensuring that the water flowing out of the water inlet can accurately fall onto the atomizing plate, providing a stable water source for the atomization process.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting bracket is provided with a slot, the water box is detachably disposed in the slot, and the slot and the water storage tank are arranged sequentially along the pull-out direction of the fresh food drawer; when the water box is configured to be inserted into the slot in the horizontal direction, the water box is in communication with the water storage tank.

[0023] Another technical solution among the above-mentioned technical solutions has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0024] Because the slot opening faces the front of the refrigerator and is in the same direction as the pull-out of the crisper drawer, users can access the water tank while opening the crisper drawer to retrieve food, without needing to adjust their body posture or hand movements. This makes the entire operation process smoother and more natural, improving the user experience.

[0025] In some embodiments of this application, a first water outlet channel is provided on the wall of the water box, and a first water outlet part is provided at the first water outlet channel. The first water outlet part is configured to close the first water outlet channel when the water box is removed from the slot.

[0026] The water storage tank has a second water outlet channel on its wall, and a second water outlet part is provided at the second water outlet channel. The second water outlet part is configured to close the second water outlet channel when the water box is removed from the slot.

[0027] When the water box is inserted into the slot, the first water outlet and the second water outlet are connected to each other so that the first water outlet channel and the second water outlet channel are connected, and the water in the water box flows into the water storage tank through the first water outlet channel and the second water outlet channel.

[0028] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting bracket is provided with a light on the bottom wall facing the drawer cavity, and the water box, the water storage tank, and the light are arranged sequentially along the pull-out direction of the food preservation drawer.

[0029] Another technical solution among the above-mentioned technical solutions has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0030] When a user opens the refrigerated drawer, the light will turn on, providing ample illumination to the inside of the drawer. This allows the user to clearly see the type, quantity, and freshness of the food inside, improving the convenience of taking food out and putting it in.

[0031] The water box, water reservoir, and lighting are arranged sequentially from front to back, making full use of the longitudinal space on the bottom wall of the mounting bracket and avoiding mutual interference between components. The water box is located at the front for easy installation and removal; the water reservoir is in the center for easy coordination with the water box and atomizing unit to supply water; and the lighting is at the rear to maximize coverage of the entire drawer cavity and provide uniform illumination. This layout not only meets the functional requirements of each component but also makes the structure more compact and orderly.

[0032] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting bracket is provided with a wiring channel, through which the first electrical line of the atomizing part extends and the second electrical line of the lighting lamp extends.

[0033] Another technical solution among the above-mentioned technical solutions has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0034] The cable trays isolate the first and second electrical circuits from other components on the mounting bracket (such as water tanks and slots), preventing friction and pressure between the circuits and these components that could damage the insulation layer and reducing the risk of short circuits and leakage. Simultaneously, the cable trays prevent the humidifying mist inside the drawer from directly contacting the circuits in large quantities, reducing the corrosion caused by condensation and extending the circuit's lifespan, while ensuring normal power supply to the atomizing unit and lighting.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the top side of the water storage tank is open, and the perimeter of the water storage tank is sealed with the mounting bracket.

[0036] Another technical solution among the above-mentioned technical solutions has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0037] The water storage tank is sealed around the mounting bracket, and there is no gap between the tank and the cover, creating a relatively enclosed space with the water outlet only at the atomizing plate. Because the tank is sealed and there are no gaps between it and the cover, water is discharged only through the atomizing plate, minimizing water evaporation loss.

[0038] Other features and advantages of this utility model will become clearer after reading the detailed embodiments of this utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0068] In some embodiments of this application, a refrigerator is provided, as shown in the reference... Figure 1 The refrigerator includes a cabinet 10. The interior of the cabinet 10 forms a storage space.

[0069] The interior of the cabinet 10 is equipped with multiple partitions, which divide the storage space into multiple storage compartments. These multiple storage compartments are arranged vertically or horizontally. The storage space serves as a freezer, refrigerator, and variable temperature compartment, etc., to meet different storage needs such as freezing, refrigeration, and variable temperature storage according to different types of food.

[0070] The cabinet 10 has an inner liner 20, and storage compartments are formed within the inner liner 20. It can be understood that the cabinet 10 has multiple inner liners 20, and each inner liner 20 can form one or more storage compartments.

[0071] The refrigerator also includes a door 30. The door 30 is connected to the cabinet 10 and is configured to close or open the storage space. For example, the door 30 is rotatably connected to the cabinet 10 by a hinge, and the door 30 can rotate around the hinge axis to open and close the door 30, thereby opening or closing the storage space.

[0072] There are multiple doors 30, and each door 30 corresponds to a storage room.

[0073] The refrigerator also includes a refrigeration unit. This unit provides cooling to the interior of the refrigerator to maintain a low-temperature environment in each storage compartment. The refrigeration unit includes a compressor, condenser, evaporator, and throttling devices. The specific structure and connections of the refrigeration unit can be found in relevant technical documents on refrigeration components, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0074] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 , Figure 2 Only a structural schematic diagram of the inner liner 20 and some components disposed therein is shown. The refrigerator includes an inner liner 20, which forms a refrigerator compartment 50.

[0075] The refrigerator also includes a crisper drawer 100. The crisper drawer 100 is installed in the refrigerator compartment 50 by pulling it out from the front and back to facilitate opening and closing. The side of the crisper drawer 100 that is pulled out and opened is defined as the front side of the crisper drawer 100.

[0076] The food storage drawer 100 has a drawer cavity inside, with the top of the drawer cavity open to facilitate the retrieval or placement of items.

[0077] The refrigerator also includes a cover. The cover is located inside the refrigerator compartment 50 and is configured to close the top opening of the drawer cavity. When the crisper drawer 100 is closed, the drawer door of the crisper drawer seals against the front side of the cover to form a closed drawer space.

[0078] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The refrigerator compartment 50 is equipped with a shelf 40, and a fresh food drawer 100 is located below the shelf 40. The shelf 40 also serves as the top cover of the fresh food drawer 100. For example, the shelf 40 is a transparent glass shelf.

[0079] The refrigerator compartment 50 is equipped with a shelf 40, and the crisper drawer 100 is located below the shelf 40. The shelf 40 can also serve as the top cover of the crisper drawer 100. This design makes full use of the internal space of the refrigerator, avoids the extra space occupied by a separate cover, and increases the flexibility of the internal space layout of the refrigerator.

[0080] In other embodiments, the refrigerator compartment 50 is specially provided with a cover structure for closing the top opening of the food storage drawer 100. This cover structure is a separate structure from the shelf.

[0081] The refrigerator also includes a mounting bracket 400. Figure 12 A structural diagram of mounting bracket 400 viewed from the top side. Figure 13 This is a structural diagram of the mounting bracket 400 viewed from the bottom side. (Refer to...) Figure 3The mounting bracket 400 is disposed on the side of the cover plate facing the drawer cavity. For example, the mounting bracket 400 is fixed to the bottom side of the cover plate by adhesive. A water storage tank 430 is formed on the mounting bracket 400.

[0082] The refrigerator also includes a water tank 200. Figure 11 This is a structural diagram of a water tank 200. The water tank 200 is detachably mounted on the mounting bracket 400 and is configured to supply water to the water storage tank 430. Figure 4 This is a structural diagram viewed from the top side after the water tank 200 and mounting bracket 400 are assembled. Figure 5 This is a structural diagram of the water box 200 and the mounting bracket 400 after assembly, viewed from the bottom side.

[0083] The refrigerator also includes a 300-unit atomizing unit. Figure 14 This is a structural diagram of the atomizing section 300 as viewed from the top side. Figure 15 This is a structural diagram of the atomizing section 300 viewed from the bottom side. (Refer to...) Figure 5 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 An atomizing unit 300 is disposed on the mounting bracket 400. The atomizing unit 300 is configured to provide humidifying mist into the drawer cavity. The water storage tank 430 is configured to supply water to the atomizing unit 300.

[0084] This application detachably mounts the water tank 200 onto the mounting bracket 400, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the water tank 200. The mounting bracket 400 is located on the side of the cover facing the drawer cavity, forming a water storage tank 430, and the atomizing unit 300 is also mounted on the mounting bracket 400. The mounting bracket 400 integrates the water storage and humidifying mist generation functional components, making the internal structure of the refrigerator more compact and rational.

[0085] The water box 200 supplies water to the water storage tank 430 on the mounting bracket 400, the water storage tank 430 then supplies water to the atomizing unit 300, and the atomizing unit 300 provides humidifying mist to the drawer cavity. This water supply and mist generation process design ensures that the humidity in the drawer cavity can be continuously and stably replenished.

[0086] In some embodiments of this application, the refrigerator further includes a mounting bracket 400. Figure 12 A structural diagram of mounting bracket 400 viewed from the top side. Figure 13 This is a structural diagram of the mounting bracket 400 viewed from the bottom side. (Refer to...) Figure 3 The mounting bracket 400 is disposed on the side of the cover plate facing the drawer cavity. For example, the mounting bracket 400 is fixed to the bottom side of the cover plate by adhesive. A water storage tank 430 is formed on the mounting bracket 400.

[0087] The mounting bracket 400 also has a slot 410, which has an opening facing horizontally.

[0088] The refrigerator also includes a water tank 200. Figure 11 This is a structural diagram of a water tank 200. The water tank 200 is configured to be inserted into or removed from the slot 410 through its opening in a horizontal direction. The water tank 200 is configured to supply water to a water storage tank 430. Figure 4 This is a structural diagram viewed from the top side after the water tank 200 and mounting bracket 400 are assembled. Figure 5 This is a structural diagram of the water box 200 and the mounting bracket 400 after assembly, viewed from the bottom side.

[0089] The refrigerator also includes a 300-unit atomizing unit. Figure 14 This is a structural diagram of the atomizing section 300 as viewed from the top side. Figure 15 This is a structural diagram of the atomizing section 300 viewed from the bottom side. (Refer to...) Figure 5 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 An atomizing unit 300 is disposed on the mounting bracket 400. The atomizing unit 300 is configured to provide humidifying mist into the drawer cavity. The water storage tank 430 is configured to supply water to the atomizing unit 300.

[0090] A slot 410 with a horizontal opening is provided on the mounting bracket 400, and the water box 200 can be directly inserted into or removed from the slot 410 through the opening in a horizontal direction. This horizontal insertion and removal design completely eliminates the complex operation logic of the traditional vertical direction. Users do not need to deliberately control the angle and force of application, and can complete the installation and removal of the water box 200 simply by natural horizontal pushing and pulling actions, which facilitates the installation and removal of the water box 200.

[0091] The water box 200 is stably installed in the slot 410 via a horizontal plug-in method, forming a more reliable water supply relationship with the water storage tank 430. Compared to traditional structures that may experience leaks or water supply interruptions due to insecure installation, the horizontal slot 410 in this design provides a more stable restraint on the water box 200, ensuring a continuous and uniform water supply from the water box 200 to the water storage tank 430. The water storage tank 430 then provides a stable water supply to the atomizing unit 300, enabling the atomizing unit 300 to continuously generate humidifying mist. This avoids fluctuations in humidity within the drawer cavity caused by water supply fluctuations, providing a constant humidity environment for food preservation.

[0092] The horizontal slot 410 cleverly utilizes the horizontal space under the cover, without taking up additional vertical storage height, ensuring that the effective volume of the food storage drawer 100 is not affected. For the transparent glass shelf 40, the horizontally installed water tank 200 does not obstruct the view, allowing users to clearly observe the condition of the food inside the drawer, thus balancing functionality and visibility.

[0093] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 12and Figure 13 The mounting bracket 400 is provided with a slot 410, the opening of which faces the front of the refrigerator.

[0094] The water box 200 is detachably mounted in the slot 410. The slot 410 is a rectangular slot 410 structure with an open front end, and the water box 200 is a corresponding rectangular structure. After the food storage drawer 100 is opened, the water box 200 can be inserted into or removed from the slot 410 through the open front end of the slot 410.

[0095] The opening of slot 410 faces the front of the refrigerator, and the water tray 200 has a corresponding rectangular structure, allowing it to be directly inserted into or removed from the rectangular slot 410 horizontally through the front opening. This design matches the pull-out direction of the crisper drawer 100, so when the crisper drawer 100 is open, the user can easily insert or remove the water tray 200 in the natural movement of taking out and putting in food. The user does not need to deliberately control the angle and force of the force applied; the water tray 200 can be installed and removed simply by a natural horizontal pushing and pulling motion, making the installation and removal of the water tray 200 convenient.

[0096] Since the slot 410 faces the front of the refrigerator and is in the same direction as the pull-out of the crisper drawer 100, users can operate the water tank 200 while opening the crisper drawer 100 to take out food, without having to adjust their body posture or hand movements. This makes the whole operation process smoother and more natural, improving the user experience.

[0097] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 The slot 410 and the water storage tank 430 are arranged sequentially along the pull-out direction of the food preservation drawer 100. The slot 410 is located in front of the water storage tank 430.

[0098] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 A first water outlet 250 is provided on the rear wall of the water box 200, that is, the water box 200 has a first water outlet 250 on the wall near the water storage tank 430. A second water outlet 450 is provided on the front wall of the water storage tank 430, that is, the water storage tank 430 has a second water outlet 450 on the wall near the slot 410. The rear wall of the slot 410 and the front wall of the water storage tank 430 share the same wall.

[0099] When the water box 200 is configured to be inserted into the slot 410 in a horizontal direction, the water box 200 is connected to the water storage tank 430. Specifically, after the food storage drawer 100 is opened, the water box 200 is inserted into the slot 410 from front to back, and the first water outlet 250 and the second water outlet 450 are connected to achieve water connection between the water box 200 and the water storage tank 430.

[0100] The user holds the water box 200 and inserts it horizontally into the slot 410 from front to back. During insertion, the first water outlet 250 on the rear wall of the water box 200 gradually approaches the second water outlet 450 on the front wall of the water storage tank 430. Since the rear wall of the slot 410 and the front wall of the water storage tank 430 share the same wall, this structural design makes the docking path between the first water outlet 250 and the second water outlet 450 shorter and more precise, reducing deviations during docking. When the water box 200 is fully inserted into the slot 410, the first water outlet 250 and the second water outlet 450 achieve precise docking, thus establishing a water connection between the water box 200 and the water storage tank 430.

[0101] Users can easily connect the water box 200 to the water tank 430 with a simple horizontal insertion action, without any additional complicated steps, greatly simplifying the water replenishment process.

[0102] The precise connection between the first water outlet 250 and the second water outlet 450, and the stable positioning of the slot 410 on the water tank 200, effectively prevent water pipe detachment or leakage caused by vibration or other factors during refrigerator operation. Water in the water tank 200 flows continuously and stably into the water storage tank 430 through the connected water pipes, ensuring a sufficient water supply to the atomizing unit 300. This ensures the atomizing unit 300 can continuously generate humidifying mist, maintaining suitable humidity within the drawer cavity and guaranteeing the freshness of food.

[0103] The slot 410 and the water tank 430 share a wall, saving the space between them and making the structural layout on the mounting rack 400 more compact. This helps to reduce the space occupied by the mounting rack 400 in the refrigerator, thereby reserving more storage space for the fresh food drawer 100 and improving the space utilization of the refrigerator.

[0104] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 8 A first water outlet channel 230 is provided on the rear wall of the water box 200, and a first water outlet part 250 is provided at the first water outlet channel 230. The first water outlet part 250 is configured to close the first water outlet channel 230 when the water box 200 is disengaged from the slot 410.

[0105] A second water outlet channel 431 is provided on the front wall of the water storage tank 430, and a second water outlet part 450 is provided at the second water outlet channel 431. The second water outlet part 450 is configured to close the second water outlet channel 431 when the water box 200 is disengaged from the slot 410.

[0106] When the water box 200 is inserted into the slot 410, the first water outlet 250 and the second water outlet 450 are connected to each other so that the first water outlet channel 230 and the second water outlet channel 431 are connected, and the water in the water box 200 flows into the water storage tank 430 through the first water outlet channel 230 and the second water outlet channel 431.

[0107] When the user needs to disassemble the water tank 200 for adding water or cleaning, the water tank 200 is pulled forward horizontally from the slot 410. As the water tank 200 gradually detaches from the slot 410, the first water outlet 250 at the first water outlet channel 230 on the rear wall of the water tank 200 automatically closes the first water outlet channel 230, and simultaneously the second water outlet 450 at the second water outlet channel 431 on the front wall of the water storage tank 430 also closes the second water outlet channel 431. This process requires no additional operation from the user, preventing residual water in the water tank 200 from leaking out of the first water outlet channel 230 and preventing water in the water storage tank 430 from overflowing through the second water outlet channel 431. This effectively solves the problem of easy leakage when disassembling traditional water tanks 200, keeping the inside of the refrigerator and the user's operating environment clean.

[0108] When the user adds water to the water tank 200 and reinstalls it, the water tank 200 is inserted horizontally into the slot 410 from front to back. During insertion, as the water tank 200 gradually comes into position, the first water outlet 250 and the second water outlet 450 gradually approach and finally connect. At this time, the first water outlet 250 and the second water outlet 450 will open the first water outlet channel 230 and the second water outlet channel 431 respectively, connecting them. The water in the water tank 200 can then flow smoothly into the water storage tank 430 through the first water outlet channel 230 and the second water outlet channel 431. The entire water replenishment process does not require the user to manually open the water outlet channels, making the operation convenient and efficient.

[0109] The first water outlet 250 and the second water outlet 450 automatically seal their corresponding water outlet channels when the water tank 200 is disengaged from the slot 410, completely eliminating the risk of water leakage during the disassembly and installation of the water tank 200. Neither residual water in the water tank 200 when the user removes it, nor water in the water reservoir 430 that has not been promptly consumed by the atomizing unit 300, will leak into the drawer cavity or other areas of the refrigerator. This reduces problems such as food contamination and refrigerator component corrosion caused by water leakage, and lowers the user's cleaning burden.

[0110] When the water tank 200 is inserted into the slot 410, the first water outlet 250 and the second water outlet 450 automatically connect and open the water outlet channel, achieving rapid water connection. This automatic connection design eliminates cumbersome operating steps, making the water replenishment process more efficient, allowing users to complete water replenishment in a short time and improving the user experience.

[0111] In some embodiments of this application, the first water outlet 250 and the second water outlet 450 have the same structure.

[0112] The first water outlet channel 230 extends horizontally back and forth, with a first water inlet at its front end and an open rear end. The first water outlet portion 250 includes a first moving member 251, which is disposed within the first water outlet channel 230. The front end of the first moving member 251 extends into the water box 200 through the first water inlet. A first water inlet gap 240 is formed between the first moving member 251 and the first water inlet. A first limiting member 252 is provided at the front end of the first moving member 251. A first limiting step 254 is provided at the rear end of the first moving member 251. The first water outlet portion 250 also includes a first reset member 253, for example, a spring. The spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first moving member 251, with its front end abutting against the inner wall of the first water outlet channel 230 and its rear end abutting against the first limiting step 254.

[0113] The second water outlet channel 431 extends horizontally back and forth, with a second water outlet at its rear end and an open front end. The second water outlet section 450 includes a second moving member 451, which is disposed within the second water outlet channel 431. The rear end of the second moving member 451 extends into the water storage tank 430 through the second water outlet. A second water flow gap 432 is formed between the second moving member 451 and the second water outlet. A second limiting member 452 is provided at the rear end of the second moving member 451. A second limiting step 454 is provided at the front end of the second moving member 451. The second water outlet section 450 also includes a second reset member 453, such as a spring, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the second moving member 451. The rear end of the spring abuts against the inner wall of the second water outlet channel 431, and the front end of the spring abuts against the second limiting step 454.

[0114] When the user inserts the water box 200 into the slot 410 from front to back and it is in place, the first water outlet 250 and the second water outlet 450 will be aligned. Specifically, the rear end of the first moving member 251 and the front end of the second moving member 451 abut against each other. At this time, the first moving member 251 is subjected to a rearward force and moves forward. The first reset member 253 (such as a spring) sleeved on its outer periphery retracts accordingly, and the first water flow gap 240, which was originally partially blocked by the first moving member 251, is opened. At the same time, the second moving member 451 is subjected to a forward force and moves backward. The second reset member 453 (such as a spring) on ​​its outer periphery also retracts, and the second water flow gap 432 also opens. In this way, the water in the water box 200 can enter the first water outlet channel 230 through the first water flow gap 240, and then flow into the water storage tank 430 through the second water outlet channel 431 and the second water flow gap 432, realizing a stable water path connection between the water box 200 and the water storage tank 430, continuously supplying water to the water storage tank 430, and ensuring that the atomizing part 300 has a sufficient water source to generate humidifying mist.

[0115] When the user removes the water box 200 from the slot 410, the first reset member 253 springs back, driving the first moving member 251 to move backward, that is, to move away from the water box 200, until the first limiting member 252 abuts against the rear inner wall of the water box 200. At this time, the first water flow gap 240 is closed, effectively preventing water in the water box 200 from flowing out through the first water outlet channel 230. At the same time, the second reset member 453 also springs back, driving the second moving member 451 to move forward, that is, to move away from the water storage tank 430, until the second limiting member 452 abuts against the front inner wall of the water storage tank 430, closing the second water flow gap 432 and preventing water in the water storage tank 430 from overflowing through the second water outlet channel 431.

[0116] The first water outlet 250 and the second water outlet 450 achieve automatic opening and closing of the water circuit through the movement of the moving parts and the elastic action of the resetting parts. When the water box 200 is inserted into place, the water flow gap opens precisely to ensure unobstructed water flow; when the water box 200 is removed, the water flow gap closes in time to prevent water from flowing out. The entire process requires no manual intervention, and the timing of opening and closing is precise, effectively avoiding water leakage or insufficient water supply.

[0117] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 9 and Figure 13 The water storage tank 430 has a water inlet 433 at its bottom, and the atomizing unit 300 is located below the water storage tank 430. The atomizing unit 300 includes an atomizing plate 310, which is positioned corresponding to the water inlet 433.

[0118] When water in the water box 200 flows into the water storage tank 430, the water in the water storage tank 430 flows through the water inlet 433 at the bottom to the atomizing unit 300 located below it. Since the atomizing plate 310 of the atomizing unit 300 is set to correspond to the water inlet 433, the water flowing out of the water inlet 433 can accurately drip onto the atomizing plate 310.

[0119] When the atomizing plate 310 is working, it converts the water on its surface into humidifying mist, which enters the drawer cavity of the food preservation drawer 100 directly to provide a humidified environment for the food inside the drawer.

[0120] The water inlet 433 at the bottom of the water storage tank 430 is correspondingly set with the atomizing plate 310, forming an efficient connection path from water storage to atomization. The water in the water storage tank 430 can flow naturally to the atomizing plate 310 through the water inlet 433 without the need for a complicated guiding structure, ensuring that the atomizing plate 310 always has enough water for atomization, avoiding the problem of atomization interruption due to untimely water supply, and ensuring the continuity of the humidification process in the drawer cavity.

[0121] The atomizing unit 300 is located below the water storage tank 430, and the water inlet 433 directly connects the two. This vertical layout makes full use of the longitudinal space below the mounting bracket 400, making the entire humidification system more compact. No additional pipes or other guiding components are needed, reducing the number of parts and the space occupied.

[0122] When cleaning or replacing the atomizing plate 310 is required, the atomizing unit 300 is located below the water storage tank 430, and the structural layout is clear, making it relatively easy for users to access the atomizing plate 310, thus reducing maintenance difficulty. At the same time, the water inlet 433 allows water in the water storage tank 430 to drain smoothly, reducing problems such as bacterial growth caused by residual water in the water storage tank 430.

[0123] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 9 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 The atomizing unit 300 further includes a first mounting base 320, on which the atomizing plate 310 is disposed. For example, the first mounting base 320 is a rubber pad.

[0124] The atomizing unit 300 also includes a second mounting base 330, which is disposed on the bottom wall of the mounting bracket 400 facing the drawer cavity, and the first mounting base 320 is limited between the second mounting base 330 and the bottom wall of the mounting bracket 400.

[0125] The second mounting base 330 is provided with a spray nozzle 340, and the atomizing plate 310 is provided corresponding to the spray nozzle 340.

[0126] The first mounting base 320 (such as a rubber pad) of the atomizing section 300 supports the atomizing plate 310. When assembling the atomizing section 300, the first mounting base 320 is limited between the second mounting base 330 and the bottom wall of the mounting bracket 400 facing the drawer cavity. This limiting method ensures that the position of the first mounting base 320 and the atomizing plate 310 thereon is fixed and will not shift due to vibration or other external forces during refrigerator operation.

[0127] Since the atomizing plate 310 is set to correspond to the spray nozzle 340 on the second mounting base 330, when the atomizing plate 310 works to convert water into humidifying mist, the mist can directly enter the drawer cavity of the fresh food drawer 100 through the spray nozzle 340 and act precisely on the food.

[0128] The first mounting base 320 is made of materials such as rubber pads, which have a certain degree of elasticity and cushioning performance. It can effectively absorb the vibration generated by the atomizing plate 310 during operation, reduce the impact of vibration on the atomizing plate 310 itself and surrounding components, reduce the probability of damage to the atomizing plate 310 due to long-term vibration, and extend its service life. At the same time, the first mounting base 320 is limited and fixed by the second mounting base 330 and the bottom wall of the mounting bracket 400, ensuring that the atomizing plate 310 always maintains a precise alignment with the water inlet 433 and the spray nozzle 340 during operation, avoiding poor mist output or reduced atomization efficiency due to positional misalignment.

[0129] The first mounting base 320 (rubber gasket) has excellent sealing properties, fitting tightly against the second mounting base 330 and the bottom wall of the mounting bracket 400. This prevents water from the water tank 430 flowing out through the water inlet 433 from leaking onto the outside of the mounting bracket 400, thus avoiding damage to other internal components of the refrigerator due to water ingress. Simultaneously, this sealing structure also reduces the backflow of moisture from the drawer cavity into the mounting bracket 400, protecting the electrical components of the atomizing unit 300 and ensuring its long-term stable operation.

[0130] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 13 The mounting bracket 400 has a first mounting groove 441 on its bottom wall, the water inlet 433 is provided corresponding to the first mounting groove 441, and the first mounting base 320 is embedded in the first mounting groove 441.

[0131] The first mounting groove 441 on the bottom wall of the mounting bracket 400 provides precise installation positioning for the first mounting base 320. Since the water inlet 433 is set to correspond to the first mounting groove 441, when the first mounting base 320 is embedded in the first mounting groove 441, the atomizing plate 310 on the first mounting base 320 can form a more precise correspondence with the water inlet 433, ensuring that the water flowing out of the water inlet 433 can accurately fall on the atomizing plate 310, providing a stable water source for the atomization process.

[0132] The first mounting base 320 is embedded in the first mounting groove 441, increasing the connection strength between the first mounting base 320 and the bottom wall of the mounting bracket 400. When the refrigerator vibrates during operation or is subjected to external impact, this embedded structure can effectively limit the movement of the first mounting base 320, further enhancing the stability of the atomizing plate 310, reducing the risk of damage to the atomizing plate 310 due to shaking, and extending the service life of the atomizing part 300.

[0133] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 13 Multiple spaced hooks 443 are provided on the bottom wall of the mounting bracket 400. The multiple hooks 443 define the area for mounting the second mounting base 330. The hooks 443 engage with the peripheral wall of the second mounting base 330.

[0134] Multiple spaced hooks 443 on the bottom wall of the mounting bracket 400 define the area for mounting the second mounting base 330. When the second mounting base 330 is assembled, it is placed in this defined area, and the hooks 443 engage with the peripheral wall of the second mounting base 330, thereby firmly fixing the second mounting base 330 to the bottom wall of the mounting bracket 400.

[0135] Multiple spaced-apart hooks 443 engage with the peripheral wall of the second mounting base 330, restricting its movement in all directions and firmly fixing it in the installation position. This multi-point engagement method greatly improves the installation stability of the second mounting base 330, effectively preventing it from loosening or shifting even when the refrigerator vibrates during operation or is subjected to external impacts, thus ensuring the overall structural stability of the atomizing section 300.

[0136] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The mounting bracket 400 has a light 500 installed on its bottom wall facing the drawer cavity. The water box 200, the water reservoir 430, and the light 500 are arranged sequentially along the pull-out direction of the food storage drawer 100. Specifically, the water box 200, the water reservoir 430, and the light 500 are arranged from front to back. The light 500 also illuminates the humidifying mist.

[0137] The mounting bracket 400 has an illumination light 500 mounted on the bottom wall of the drawer cavity, which, along with the water box 200 and water storage tray 430, is arranged from front to back along the direction in which the refrigerated drawer 100 is pulled out. When the user opens the refrigerated drawer 100, the illumination light 500 will light up, providing sufficient light to the inside of the drawer cavity, making it easy for the user to clearly see the type, quantity, and freshness of the food inside, thus improving the convenience of taking out and putting in food.

[0138] Meanwhile, the lighting 500 also illuminates the humidifying mist. When the humidifying mist generated by the atomizing unit 300 permeates the drawer cavity, the light passing through the mist creates a soft light and shadow effect. On the one hand, this allows users to visually observe the distribution of the mist and determine whether the humidification function is operating normally; on the other hand, the soft light also makes the food in the drawer look fresher and more appealing, enhancing the user experience.

[0139] The water box 200, water reservoir 430, and lighting 500 are arranged sequentially from front to back, making full use of the longitudinal space of the bottom wall of the mounting bracket 400 and avoiding mutual interference between components. The water box 200 is located at the front for easy installation and removal by the user; the water reservoir 430 is in the center to facilitate water supply in conjunction with the water box 200 and the atomizing unit 300; the lighting 500 is at the rear to maximize coverage of the entire drawer cavity and provide uniform lighting. This layout not only meets the functional requirements of each component but also makes the structure more compact and orderly.

[0140] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 13 The mounting bracket 400 has a second mounting groove 442 on its bottom wall. The bottom side of the second mounting groove 442 is open, and the lighting lamp 500 is installed in the second mounting groove 442.

[0141] The second mounting groove 442 on the bottom wall of the mounting bracket 400 provides a dedicated mounting space for the lighting lamp 500. Since the bottom side of the second mounting groove 442 is open, when the lighting lamp 500 is installed in the groove, its light can be projected into the drawer cavity from the opening without obstruction, ensuring that the lighting effect is not affected.

[0142] The second mounting slot 442 provides circumferential restraint for the lighting lamp 500, ensuring its stable fixation to the bottom wall of the mounting bracket 400. This effectively prevents the lighting lamp 500 from loosening or shifting during refrigerator operation or when the crisper drawer 100 is frequently pulled out, guaranteeing it remains in the correct lighting position.

[0143] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 12 The mounting bracket 400 is provided with a wiring groove 420, through which the first electrical line of the atomizing part 300 extends and the second electrical line of the lighting lamp 500 extends.

[0144] The wiring channel 420 includes a first wiring channel 421 and a second wiring channel 422, which are L-shaped. The first wiring channel 421 is located behind the slot 410 and beside the water storage tank 430. The second wiring channel 422 extends towards the rear of the refrigerator and is located beside the light fixture 500.

[0145] A first wiring port 423 is provided on the side wall of the first wiring groove 421. The first electrical line connected to the atomizing plate 310 is introduced into the first wiring groove 421 through the first wiring port 423 and then extends into the second wiring groove 422.

[0146] A second wiring port 424 is provided on the wall of the first wiring trough 421 or the second wiring trough 422, and the second electrical line connected to the lighting lamp 500 is introduced into the wiring trough 420 through the second wiring port 424.

[0147] The first wiring trough 421 and the second wiring trough 422 are provided with a wire fixing part 425, which fixes the first wire and the second wire.

[0148] The wiring channel 420 on the mounting bracket 400 provides a dedicated routing channel for the first electrical circuit of the atomizing unit 300 and the second electrical circuit of the lighting lamp 500. The first wiring channel 421 and the second wiring channel 422 have an L-shaped structure. The first wiring channel 421 is located behind the slot 410 and next to the water storage tank 430, while the second wiring channel 422 extends towards the rear of the refrigerator and next to the lighting lamp 500. This layout can well adapt to the routing requirements of the wiring.

[0149] When laying the wiring, the first wire connected to the atomizing plate 310 is introduced into the first wiring trough 421 through the first wiring port 423 on the side wall of the first wiring trough 421, and then extends into the second wiring trough 422; the second wire connected to the lighting lamp 500 is introduced into the wiring trough 420 through the second wiring port 424 on the wall of the first wiring trough 421 or the second wiring trough 422. At the same time, the fixing parts 425 in the first wiring trough 421 and the second wiring trough 422 will fix the first wire and the second wire.

[0150] The cable tray 420 isolates the first and second electrical circuits from other components on the mounting bracket 400 (such as the water tank 430 and slot 410), preventing friction and compression between the circuits and these components that could damage the insulation layer and reducing the risk of short circuits and leakage. Simultaneously, the cable tray 420 prevents the humidifying mist inside the drawer cavity from directly contacting the circuits in large quantities, reducing the corrosion caused by condensation and extending the circuit's lifespan, and ensuring the normal power supply to the atomizing unit 300 and the lighting lamp 500.

[0151] The first wiring channel 421 is located behind the slot 410 and next to the water tank 430, and the second wiring channel 422 is located next to the light 500 and extends to the rear of the refrigerator. This layout makes full use of the unused space on the mounting rack 400, does not occupy the storage space of the drawer cavity, and does not interfere with the loading and unloading of the water box 200, the taking and putting in of food, etc., making the layout of the various components on the mounting rack 400 more compact and reasonable, and improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the refrigerator.

[0152] In some embodiments of this application, an air supply duct is formed on the back side of the inner liner 20. The refrigerator also includes a control board disposed within the air supply duct. A first electrical line and a second electrical line extend into the air supply duct via a wiring trough 420 and are connected to the control board.

[0153] The air supply duct on the back side of the inner liner 20 provides a suitable installation environment for the control board, while the first and second electrical lines extend into the air supply duct through the wiring trough 420 and connect to the control board, forming a complete circuit control path.

[0154] When the refrigerator is running, the control board regulates the working status of the atomizing unit 300 through the first circuit. For example, it controls the start and stop of the atomizing plate 310 and the atomizing intensity according to the humidity in the drawer cavity to ensure that the humidity in the drawer cavity is maintained within a suitable range. At the same time, the control board controls the lighting 500 through the second circuit. The lighting 500 is turned on when the fresh food drawer 100 is opened and turned off when it is closed, realizing intelligent control of the lighting.

[0155] The control board is housed within the air supply duct. The relatively stable temperature and airflow environment within the duct reduces the impact of external factors on the control board. For example, it prevents the high humidity inside the drawer cavity from directly affecting the control board, thus lowering the probability of malfunction due to moisture. The first and second electrical circuits extend orderly to the control board via the wiring trough 420. The neat wiring layout reduces interference between circuits and the impact of external factors on the wiring connections, ensuring the stability of control signals and power transmission. This allows the atomizing unit 300 and the lighting lamp 500 to operate precisely according to the instructions from the control board.

[0156] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 12 The top side of the water storage tank 430 is open, and the four sides of the water storage tank 430 are sealed with the mounting bracket 400. There is no gap between the water storage tank 430 and the cover plate, and water exits only at the atomizing plate 310, with no evaporation loss.

[0157] The water storage tank 430 is sealed around the mounting bracket 400, and there is no gap between the water storage tank 430 and the cover plate. This makes the water storage tank 430 a relatively closed space, with only the atomizing plate 310 as the water outlet channel. Because the water storage tank 430 is sealed around the edges and has no gap with the cover plate, water is discharged only through the atomizing plate 310, minimizing water evaporation loss.

[0158] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 11 The top of the water box 200 is provided with a water inlet, and a plug 210 is provided at the water inlet.

[0159] When water needs to be added to the water tank 200, the user can first remove the water tank 200 from the slot 410 of the mounting bracket 400, then open the plug 210 at the water inlet and inject an appropriate amount of water into the water tank 200 through the water inlet. After filling the water tank, reinstall the plug 210 at the water inlet, and then insert the water tank 200 into the slot 410 to supply water to the water storage tank 430.

[0160] The water inlet on top of the water tank 200 provides a clear and convenient channel for adding water. Users can easily add water simply by opening the plug 210, without any complicated operations.

[0161] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 11 A first snap-fit ​​portion 220 is provided on the outer wall of the water tank 200. (Refer to...) Figure 12 A second latching part 411 is provided on the inner wall of the slot 410. After the water box 200 is inserted into the slot 410, the first latching part 220 engages with the second latching part 411.

[0162] When the user inserts the water box 200 into the slot 410 horizontally from front to back, as the water box 200 gradually comes into place, the first snap-fit ​​part 220 on the outer wall of the water box 200 will come into contact with the second snap-fit ​​part 411 on the inner wall of the slot 410 and finally snap together, thereby firmly fixing the water box 200 in the slot 410.

[0163] The snap-fitting of the first snap-fit ​​part 220 and the second snap-fit ​​part 411 provides additional fixing force for the water box 200, further enhancing the stability of the water box 200 within the slot 410. When the refrigerator vibrates during operation, the crisper drawer 100 is frequently pulled out, or the user accidentally touches the water box 200, the snap-fit ​​structure effectively prevents the water box 200 from loosening, shifting, or even falling off within the slot 410. This ensures that the water box 200 and the first and second water outlets 250 and 450 of the water tank 430 always maintain precise alignment, guaranteeing stable water flow and enabling the water box 200 to continuously supply water to the water tank 430.

[0164] When the first locking part 220 and the second locking part 411 engage, the user will clearly feel a locking feedback force or hear a slight locking sound, which directly indicates to the user that the water box 200 is installed correctly. This avoids problems such as poor water connection and water supply interruption caused by the water box 200 not being inserted tightly, reduces the trouble for users to repeatedly check due to concerns about proper installation, and improves the user experience.

[0165] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 5 The bottom wall of the water tank 200 is provided with a handle 260, and the bottom wall of the slot 410 is provided with a notch, through which the handle 260 protrudes. The handle 260 is used by the user to remove / place the water tank 200.

[0166] When the user needs to remove the water box 200 from the slot 410, the handle 260 on the bottom wall of the water box 200 protrudes from the notch in the bottom wall of the slot 410, providing the user with a clear point of force. When removing the water box 200, the user can directly grip the exposed handle 260 with their fingers and apply a forward pull to easily overcome the locking force between the first locking part 220 and the second locking part 411, and pull the water box 200 out of the slot 410; when installing the water box 200, the handle 260 also makes it easy for the user to hold and position it, ensuring that the water box 200 is smoothly inserted into the slot 410 horizontally and accurately.
