The invention discloses a refrigerator. The refrigerator comprises a box body, a sterilizing box for containing food, a
magnetic field generator and a sterilizing chamber door body; a
refrigeration chamber, a sterilizing chamber and a compressor bin provided with a compressor are defined in the box body; the sterilizing box is arranged in the sterilizing chamber and is provided with an opening. The
magnetic field generator is arranged on the sterilizing box to form a
magnetic field in the sterilizing chamber. The sterilizing chamber door body is arranged on the box body or the sterilizing box to open or close the opening. According to the refrigerator,
food storage is not influenced, and the magnetic field generator is placed in the sterilizing chamber to generate the magnetic field for sterilization, so the magnetic
field intensity is convenient to improve, the magnetic field distribution is uniform, the omnibearing sterilization without a dead corner is realized, and the sterilization efficiency of the magnetic field for food is improved. In addition, harmful chemical substances are not used in the refrigerator, and the
food safety is ensured. The refrigerator has the dual functions of sterilization and
refrigeration, so the deadline of the fresh keeping quality of food is greatly prolonged, and the practicability of the refrigerator is improved.
