As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the present invention further provides a refrigerator, which includes at least one compartment structure as described above to achieve the quick-freezing function of the refrigerator. The compartment may be located between the cold storage compartment and the freezer compartment of the refrigerator.

The specific operation process comprises the following steps:

normal stored food process: after the compartment door is opened, food is placed in the storage columns of the rotary shelves according to categories, the food is placed in the storage lattices right opposite to the door, then the classified food is placed in the shelves in sequence through the manual rotary shelves, and after the food is placed, the storage lattices which need to be frozen most are rotated to the rear part of the compartment by the manual rotary shelves so as to achieve the best effect of rapid cooling. And closing the compartment door to finish the storage process of the food.

Quick-freezing process of the refrigerator: through the display panel on the door body, start the quick-freeze function, set up the food temperature in the infrared sensor perception room at room top, control software sets up to the highest food fence temperature in the prior transmission room and position signal: when the storage lattice position with the highest temperature is over against the air outlet at the rear part of the compartment, the refrigerator starts a refrigeration function to refrigerate. When the storage grid position with the highest temperature is not just opposite to the air outlet at the rear part of the compartment, the rotating motor arranged at the lower part of the rotating tray is started, the motor drives the rotating tray and the rotating shelf to rotate, the rotating shelf enables the storage grid position with the highest temperature to be rotated to be just opposite to the air outlet at the rear part of the compartment through rotation, and the refrigerator starts a refrigeration function to refrigerate. When the temperature of the food in the room reaches the set freezing temperature, the air door is closed, the compartment stops refrigerating, and the quick-freezing process is finished.

The compartment structure of the invention combines with the unique design of the air duct system, and can realize a plurality of refrigeration functions of cold storage, freezing, quick-freezing, instant-freezing and the like of the compartment by opening and closing double air doors in the air duct system and controlling the air output.
