However, generally, the air-cooled refrigerator has low overall humidity and the fruit and vegetable food materials stored in the refrigerating chamber are severely dried by blowing air through the fan, so that the food materials are shriveled or even rotten to different degrees after being stored for a long time, and the food value of the food materials is greatly reduced. Therefore, various moisture-preserving and humidity-adjusting drawers are developed in the refrigerator industry for solving the problem, but due to the limitation of the size of the drawer, the use requirement of a user for storing a large amount of fruit and vegetable food materials in a conventional refrigerating chamber at one time cannot be met. In order to further meet the storage requirements of users, some refrigerator enterprises develop in-box humidification technologies, such as ultrasonic humidification, defrosting water humidification and ion humidification.

However, this technique also has a problem of insufficient humidification effect.

According to the humidifying mode, the ultrasonic humidifying technology and the ion humidifying technology need to be electrified to act on the humidifying water, and certain potential safety hazards exist; although defrosting water humidification need not the circular telegram and acts on humidification water, its moisture that directly utilizes in the refrigerator carries out the humidification, directly utilizes the defrosting water humidification of refrigerator water collector and defrosting water humidification, because the evaporimeter defrosting water yield is few, leads to the humidification effect poor, and because the position of water collector is limited, can not artificially add water, the humidification effect is poor.
