In addition, it can be appreciated that the humidifying treatment of the air in the air duct 130 by the humidifying device 600 can reduce the condensation of the moisture into water droplets in the refrigerating chamber 110, such as the water droplets contacting with the food, which is liable to accelerate the decay of the food to be disadvantageous for improving the fresh-keeping effect.
As shown in fig. 3, in some embodiments, the refrigeration appliance 10 further includes a humidity detection device 700 for detecting the humidity of the refrigerating compartment 110, and the humidity detection device 700 is disposed on the housing assembly 100; the control device 500 can calculate the humidity value of the refrigerating chamber 110 according to the humidity information detected by the humidity detection device 700; when the humidity value of the refrigerating compartment 110 is less than or equal to the set value, the control device 500 can control the driving assembly 630 to operate so that the water absorbing member 620 moves to the first state 621, and can control the air flow generating assembly 400 to operate so as to generate the air flow blown to the refrigerating compartment 110.
