  • Publication number: 20220235998
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a refrigerator. The refrigerator comprises a foaming layer disposed between a refrigeration inner liner and a housing and a conduit extending inward from an edge of the housing and buried in the foaming layer, the conduit comprises a rigid tube and a flexible tube that are connected to each other, an end of the rigid tube far away from the flexible tube is disposed close to the edge of the housing, and a strength of the flexible tube is lower than the strength of the rigid tube. A foaming material may be discharged from the flexible tube and press the flexible tube so that the flexible tube is spaced apart a certain distance from the housing or the refrigeration inner liner. The flexible tube is completely buried in the foaming layer, so that the amount of cold is very limited, thereby preventing condensation from appearing.
