in a refrigeration working condition, the refrigeration system is started, the low-pressure gas refrigerant is compressed into a high-temperature high-pressure gas refrigerant by the compressor 210 → the refrigerant enters the condenser 220 to be cooled into a high-pressure super-cooled liquid refrigerant → the refrigerant enters the drying filter to filter impurities and water → the refrigerant enters the throttling element 230 to be decompressed into a gas-liquid mixed state refrigerant → the refrigerant enters the evaporator 240 to absorb heat to become a high-temperature low-pressure gas refrigerant → the refrigerant enters the compressor 210 to be compressed into a high-temperature high-pressure gas refrigerant, and therefore the refrigerant completes a refrigeration cycle and performs refrigeration work repeatedly.
In the defrosting mode, the compressor 210 is started, the defrosting valve 250 is opened, the low-pressure gas refrigerant is compressed into a high-temperature high-pressure gas refrigerant by the compressor 210 → the refrigerant enters the evaporator 240 through the defrosting valve 250 → the refrigerant in the evaporator 240 releases heat to become a low-temperature gas refrigerant, and the evaporator 240 fins defrost → the low-temperature gas refrigerant enters the compressor 210 to be compressed into a high-temperature high-pressure gas refrigerant, so that the refrigerant completes a defrosting cycle and performs defrosting operation repeatedly.
When the heating working condition is met, the heating element 300 and the evaporation fan 400 are started, the heating element 300 heats surrounding air into high-temperature air, the evaporation fan 400 blows the high-temperature air into the container body 100, and the heating element 300 and the evaporation fan 400 continuously work to perform heating work.

The embodiment also provides a temperature control method for the container, which can effectively reduce refrigeration energy consumption while improving the temperature maintenance stability of the container in a container refrigeration mode, and further has the effects of reducing refrigeration cost and transportation cost.
Specifically, when the container is in a cooling mode, the control method comprises the following steps:
starting all the evaporation fans 400 and all the refrigeration systems;
