- the hole 121 a humidifies the moisturizing drawer 25 or communicates with the second exhaust hole 111 .
- the defrosting water discharged from the ice making compartment 13 can be consumed by humidification, and the moisturizing drawer 25 can be selected to be humidified or discharged to the external environment without the need for the user to clean up, thereby bringing convenience to the user.
- the humidity sensor is provided in the moisturizing drawer 25, and the refrigerator includes a controller connected to the humidity sensor and the humidification device 50.
- the controller activates the humidification device 50 when the humidity detected by the humidity sensor is lower than a preset value.
- the humidification device 50 is connected to the first
- the exhaust hole 121a is in communication with and disconnected from the second exhaust hole 111 . In this way, the moisturizing drawer 25 can use the collected ice-making and defrosting water for humidification, which saves resources and is convenient for users.
- the door body 10 is also provided with a water level sensor for detecting the amount of water in the water storage box 40, and the refrigerator includes a controller connecting the water level sensor and the humidification device, and the controller activates the humidification device according to the water level detected by the water level sensor is higher than a preset value.
- the humidifying device 50 is communicated with the second exhaust hole 111 and disconnected from the first exhaust hole 121a, so that the ice making and defrosting water can be discharged to the outside of the refrigerator in time.
- the humidification device 50 can selectively communicate with the first exhaust hole 121a or the second exhaust hole 111, so that the defrosting water in the ice making chamber 13 can be reused or discharged to the outside of the refrigerator without the need for user cleaning, thereby improving user experience .
- the specific structure of the humidifying device 50 is the same as that of the first embodiment, and will not be repeated here.
- the difference is that the water storage box 40a can be a part of the opening that only covers the cavity, and the other part of the opening forms the first exhaust hole, or one of the side walls of the water storage box 40a extends downward to form a cover plate 41a.
- the plate 41 covers the humidifying device, and the second exhaust hole 121a is provided on the cover plate 41a of the water storage box 40a, so that the first exhaust hole 121a can communicate with the exhaust passage 25 when the door is closed.
- the air outlet 26 includes an air inlet 261 and an air outlet.
- the air inlet 261 is arranged on the side wall of the refrigerating chamber 21 adjacent to the pivot side of the door body, and the air outlet communicates with the moisturizing drawer 25.
- One side extends rearward and enters the moisturizing drawer 25 from the rear of the refrigerating compartment 21 .
- the humidifying device can selectively communicate with the first vent hole or the second vent hole, so that the defrosting water in the ice making chamber can be used for the second time to humidify the refrigerating chamber, humidify the moisturizing drawer or discharge it to the refrigerator.
- the outside of the refrigerator does not need to be cleaned by the user, and the function of the refrigerator can be increased without increasing the cost, thereby improving the user experience.
