Abstract

A flexibly partitioned drawer comprises a drawer body formed with an accommodating cavity and at least one partitioning member that moves left and right and is disposed in the accommodating cavity for use in partitioning the accommodating cavity. Leading and trailing ends of the dividing member respectively protrude in the direction of front and rear walls of the drawer body to form protruding portions. The front and rear walls of the drawer body are respectively formed thereon with sliding grooves that cooperate with corresponding side protruding portions so as to provide the dividing member with movement along the left and right directions. The sliding grooves penetrate side walls of the drawer body such that the accommodating cavity communicates with an outer part of the drawer body.

Abstract

A control method for improving the evaporation capacity of a refrigerator, and the refrigerator. The refrigerator comprises a compressor (10), a condensate fan (80) connected to the compressor (10) and used for accelerating heat dissipation of a condenser (20), and an evaporation pan (90) disposed below the condenser (20). The control method comprises: when the compressor (10) is started, the condensate fan (80) runs at a first rotating speed; and when the compressor is stopped, the condensate fan (80) runs for a preset period of time at a second rotating speed lower than the first rotating speed, so that the evaporation capacity of the evaporation pan (90) is improved. After the compressor (10) is stopped, the condensate fan (80) still runs and stops after continuing to run for a period of time at a low speed, and an air flow above the evaporation pan (90) is accelerated by means of the rotation of the condensate fan (80), so that the capacity to evaporate water in the evaporation pan (90) is improved, and it is ensured that the water in the evaporation pan (90) does not overflow. Moreover, a heating coil (100) does not need to be provided, and thus, a series of problems caused by the heating coil (100) are avoided.
