Abstract
A refrigerator includes a top cover for the cooling chamber, an evaporator, a storage chamber and a cooling chamber located below the storage chamber, where at least a part of the top wall of the cooling chamber is formed on this top cover, and the evaporator is located inside the cooling chamber and fixedly connected to the top cover of the cooling chamber in a hanging manner. According to the refrigerator, by fixedly connecting the evaporator to the top cover of the cooling chamber in a hanging manner, the top cover is subjected to a downward force due to the gravity of the evaporator. This refrigerator avoids the bulging of the top cover upwards.
