  • Patent number: 11835289
    Abstract: Provided is a refrigerator (10), including: a cabinet (100) in which a cooling chamber (200) located at a lower side and at least one storage compartment located above the cooling chamber (200) are defined, a bottom air inlet (110a) and a bottom air outlet (110b) being provided in a bottom of the cabinet (100) in a transverse direction at an interval; a compressor chamber (300) arranged behind the cooling chamber (200), in which a compressor (104), a heat dissipation fan (106) and a condenser (105) are sequentially arranged; and a divider (117) configured to completely isolate the bottom air inlet (110a) from the bottom air outlet (110b), such that external air entering the condenser (105) and heat dissipation air discharged from the compressor (104) are not crossed. In the refrigerator (10), the freezing chamber (132) is raised, a user has no need to bend down much to access to the freezing chamber (132), and the use experience is improved.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a refrigerator (100) preventing an air supply duct (141) from falling down, which includes a top cover (103) that divides a lowermost storage liner (130) into a storage space (132) located above and a cooling space located below, an evaporator (101) arranged in the cooling space, and the air supply duct (141) arranged at an inner side of a rear wall of the storage liner (130), communicating with the cooling space, and configured to deliver at least part of cooled airflow into the storage space (132). The cooling space raises a height of the storage space (132) located above the cooling space, thus reducing a bend-down degree of a user during an operation of taking and placing articles in the storage space (132), and improving use experience of the user.

  • Patent number: 10782066
    Abstract: A refrigeration control method and a refrigerator. The refrigeration control method for a refrigerator comprises: acquiring the refrigeration state of a first evaporator and the refrigeration state of a second evaporator; when the first evaporator performs refrigeration, acquiring the temperature of a second compartment; when the temperature of the second compartment is greater than the starting temperature of the second compartment and the difference therebetween is less than a first preset threshold, acquiring the temperature of a first compartment and determining whether the temperature of the first compartment is less than a preset first reference temperature, the first reference temperature being calculated according to the starting temperature of the first compartment and a set adjustment temperature; and when the temperature of the first compartment is less than the first reference temperature, switching the refrigerator into a state where the second evaporator performs refrigeration.
