In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, the gear generating device 50 may be a general touch display screen of a refrigeration and freezing device.
In this embodiment, because of the air path system and the gear generating device 50, each drawer 30 of the refrigerating compartment of the refrigerator can realize independent temperature adjustment of multiple levels, such as 2 ℃, 5 ℃, 10 ℃ (low, medium, high), etc., so that the user can adjust the temperature of each drawer 30 of the refrigerator according to the needs and habits of the user, and through the balanced control of temperature and humidity, the optimal storage environment area for different foods is achieved, the user is guided to correctly place the optimal storage space for the foods, the waste is reduced, and the foods which are not dared to be placed into the refrigerator in the past can also be placed into the refrigerator to prolong the storage period. Prior to this application, the refrigerator cold rooms were at the same temperature, while the optimal storage temperatures and humidity for different foods were different, causing users to dare to put some of the low storage temperatures, ready-to-eat, tropical fruits, into the refrigerator. The food can not be eaten immediately when the temperature is too low, and the user can only put the food outside; the tropical fruits need to be stored in an interval of 8-10 ℃ for the best storage time and are not dare to be placed in a refrigerator. The food put into the refrigerator is not in the optimal temperature range, the food decays fast, and the waste is serious. The embodiment of the utility model provides a can freely adjust the cold-stored temperature of each drawer 30 of refrigerator according to user's demand, make food preserve in best storage space, guide the user correctly to place the best storage space of food, and can make food store in best temperature, humidity environment, improve fresh-keeping greatly. Each drawer 30 can realize multi-stage change of temperature and free switching. Further, when the number of shift commands in each shift command group is relatively large, for example, each time the target temperature in the drawer 30 changes by one degree celsius, the target temperature can be used as a new shift. This may also be referred to as stepless gear adjustment. For example, there may be 11 gears between 0 ℃ and 10 ℃, which allows each drawer 30 to be temperature regulated anywhere between 0 ℃ and 10 ℃. Of course, only three ranges of 0 ℃ ice temperature area, 4 ℃ golden area and 10 ℃ hot band fruit area can be arranged between 0 ℃ and 10 ℃.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the refrigerating and freezing device may also have a memory device, which is a general memory device, or a plurality of memory modules respectively disposed on the plurality of drawers 30. When the temperature-sensing device is used, a user can freely switch food, the drawer 30 automatically matches the temperature interval corresponding to the food according to the food switched by the user, the temperature interval corresponding to the food is automatically memorized by the memory device, and the temperature interval of the user can be automatically identified when the drawer 30 is switched to any position.
In some embodiments of the present invention, a temperature sensor can be disposed in each drawer 30 to detect the temperature change in the corresponding drawer 30, so that air can be supplied only when the drawer 30 needs to supply air, thereby preventing overcooling of food and saving energy.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the user can also determine the number of the drawers 30 according to his/her own needs, and the user can directly place the articles in the first space 21 where the drawers 30 are not placed. For example, the number of the first space 21 and the number of the drawers 30 are both 6, and a user can place 4 drawers 30, 2 drawers 30, and the like according to the requirement. The positions of the 6 drawers 30 can be arbitrarily switched. Each drawer 30 may be designed as a sealing structure except for the intake opening 31 and the return opening 32 to prevent the temperature of the air flow between the drawers 30 from interfering with the smell and the like. Further, the bottom wall front end of each first space 21 is provided with a stop bar 25, and the bottom front end of each drawer 30 is provided with a stop groove or a stop surface which is engaged with the corresponding stop bar 25, so that each stop bar 25 obstructs the drawer 30 from moving forward after the corresponding drawer 30 is located in the corresponding first space 21. The stop bar 25 may be a decorative bar disposed at the front end of the rack. The combination of the electrical connection socket 41 and the electrical connection plug 42 also prevents the drawer 30 from falling.

Preferably, the adjusting member is also rotatable to a position where one of the airflow guide plates 64 shields the airflow inlet 62, or a position where one of the airflow guide plates 64 shields the entire airflow outlet 63. As shown in fig. 10 to 17, the number of airflow outlets 63 may be six, and two airflow guide plates 64 may provide the on-off control device 60 with 8 operating states, including a state in which each airflow outlet 63 is individually opened, and a state in which all airflow outlets 63 are opened and the airflow inlets 62 are closed (that is, all airflow outlets 63 are closed).
In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, each airflow guide plate 64 includes first and second plate sections connected to each other, the distance between the ends of the two second plate sections is greater than the distance between the ends of the two first plate sections, and the length of the first plate section is less than the length of the second plate section; and between the ends of the two first plate segments is a first gas flow port 65. The first plate section and the second plate section not only can enable airflow to flow smoothly and generate low noise, but also can limit the first airflow opening 65 and the second airflow opening 66 meeting requirements, so that the on-off control device 60 is simple in structure and low in cost.
In order to facilitate the automatic control of the adjustment member, the on-off control device 60 further comprises a driving device configured to drive the adjustment member to rotate; and the driving means comprises a motor, a first gear and a second gear. The first gear is disposed in the housing 61 and connected to the adjusting member. The motor is arranged at the radial outer side of the shell 61, so that the thickness of the on-off control device 60 can be reduced, and the on-off control device 60 is particularly suitable for refrigerating and freezing devices such as refrigerators. The second gear is mounted on the output shaft of the motor and is meshed with the first gear, so that when the motor rotates, the adjusting piece is driven to rotate through the second gear and the first gear, and the working state of the on-off control device 60 can be controlled by controlling the rotation of the motor.
Each airflow outlet 63 of the on-off control device 60 is communicated with one drawer 30 through one or more first air supply outlets 71; the airflow inlet 62 communicates with the cooling chamber. The adjustment member may be configured to control the flow of air from the air flow inlet 62 to one or all of the plurality of air flow outlets 63, and thus all or a portion of the air flow to the respective drawer 30. That is, each of the air flow outlets 63 communicates with one drawer 30, and when the air flow outlet 63 is closed, the corresponding drawer 30 is stopped from being supplied with the cool air; when the air outlet 63 is opened, cool air can be supplied to the corresponding drawer 30. The on-off control device 60 is preferably disposed in the air supply assembly 70, and a plurality of air supply ducts 74 may be disposed in the air supply assembly 70, and each air supply duct 74 communicates with one air flow outlet and the first air supply outlet 71. The air supply assembly 70 further has an airflow inlet, which can be communicated with the cooling chamber via an air inlet pipeline, and an outlet of the cooling chamber can be provided with a fan for promoting airflow.
