The receiving groove 30 may also be directly provided on the cabinet opening 11, in which case the module case 31 may not be provided, so that the intermediate light guide 332 is directly movable on the cabinet opening 11. It can be understood that the module housing 31 may not be provided with the accommodating groove 30, and the middle light guide 332 may be only drawn close to the inner side wall of the cabinet 1 when folded and accommodated, the middle light guide 332 may be directly attached to the inner side wall of the cabinet 1, or the middle light guide 332 may be shortened to the inner side wall of the cabinet 1.

The intermediate light guide 332 includes a light transmitting body rotatably mounted on the module housing 31, and a first light reflecting surface 3321 and a second light reflecting surface 3322 disposed in the light transmitting body, and the light guide channel 3320 is disposed between the first light reflecting surface 3321 and the second light reflecting surface 3322. The light emitted from the light source 32 enters the light guide channel 3320, and then is emitted toward the outlet of the light guide channel 3320 under the repeated reflection of the first reflecting surface 3321 and the second reflecting surface 3322, and the outlet of the light guide channel 3320 is just opposite to the door body reflector 331.

The light source 32 is disposed on the cabinet opening 11, the door body reflecting member 331 is rotatably mounted on the door body 2, and an angle of a plane where the door body reflecting member 331 is located with respect to a horizontal plane is unchanged during the opening process of the door body 2. Since the angle of the door body 2 is continuously changed, the position of the corresponding intermediate light guide 332 is also continuously changed, and the door body light reflecting member 331 is preferably opposite to the position of the door body light reflecting member 331 with respect to the horizontal plane, so that the illumination beam emitted from the light source 32 is preferably guided to the door body light reflecting member 331.

In this embodiment, the door reflecting member 331 is disposed parallel to the horizontal plane all the time in the process of opening the door 2, that is, the plane on which the door reflecting member 331 is disposed extends along the horizontal direction regardless of the opening angle of the door 2. The above design of the door reflector 331 can better reflect light into the storage space 10.

Specifically, the door body light reflecting member 331 includes a light reflecting plate 3311 and a rotating shaft 3312, the light reflecting plate 3311 is rotatably mounted on the door body 2 through the rotating shaft 3312, the door body 2 is provided with a avoiding groove 22 adapted to the light reflecting plate 3311, and the rotating shaft 3312 is disposed at a notch of the avoiding groove 22.
