In a possible embodiment of the invention, a base opening (80) is provided on the module housing (74) corresponding to the diffusing member (78). The module housing (74) is configured to have a deepening section (83) on a side facing the outside where the base opening (80) is provided. The diffusing member (78) diffuses the light beams generated by the light source (75) towards the second storage chamber (4) in the open position of the second drawer-type door (6). In a possible embodiment, a first side of the module housing (74) facing the lower wall (51), is configured as a receiving groove (77) for receiving the circuit board (76) configured with the light source (75) and the diffusing member (78). As can be seen in FIG. 11, the diffusing member (78) has a seating surface (99) that seats to a base (79) module housing (74) at a region where the base opening (80) is provided. The diffusing member (78) seats onto the module housing (74) in such a way that the diffusing member (78) at least partially covers the base opening (80). When the diffusing member (78) seats onto the module housing (74), at least a part of the diffusing member (78) pass through the base opening (80). There is a centering protrusion (94) provided on the base (79) of the module housing (74). A centering recess (95) is provided on the diffusing member (78) correspondingly. When the diffusing member (78) seats onto the module housing (74), the centering protrusion (94) is being received by the centering recess (95). This helps to position the diffusing member (78) onto the module housing (74) easily. One or more second connection protrusions (93) are provided on a side of the diffusing member (78) facing the circuit board (76). Moreover, two mutual protruding walls (96) are provided on opposite edges of the diffusing member (78). The mutual protruding walls (96) extend along a width of the diffusing member (78). There is at least one connection tab (97) on a side of the diffusing member (78) opposite to the side where the centering recess (95) is provided. Furthermore, the diffusing member (78) has a light source receiving groove (100) corresponding the light source (75). The light source receiving groove (100) is configured at the center of the diffusing member (78). When the circuit board (76) seat onto the diffusing member (78), a tab receiving recess (98) provided on the circuit board (76) is being received by the connection tab (97). This helps to position the circuit board (76) onto the diffusing member (78) easily. Furthermore, when the circuit board (76) seat onto the diffusing member (78), each of the second connection protrusions (93) pass through the respective second connection holes (92) of the circuit board (76). Thus, the movements of the circuit board (76) which seats onto the area provided between the mutual protruding walls (96), is prevented in both left-right direction and the front-rear direction. The second connection protrusions (93) can have a cylindrical shape and the corresponding second connection holes (92) can have a circular shape. The circuit board (76) has a width longer than the width of the diffusing member (78). The circuit board (76) comprises one or more first connection holes (81). Correspondingly, there are one or more first connection protrusions (82) provided on the module housing (74). In a possible embodiment, the circuit board (76) comprises two first connection holes (81) spaced apart from each other, and two first connection protrusions (82) are provided on the module housing (74), corresponding to the first connection holes (81). The first connection holes (81) are provided so as to be outside of a region that seat onto the diffusing member (78) between the mutual protruding walls (96). When the circuit board (76) seat onto the diffusing member (78), each of the first connection protrusions (82) pass through the respective first connection holes (81). The first connection protrusions (82) can have a cylindrical shape and the corresponding first connection holes (81) can have a circular shape. The width of the first connection protrusions (82) and the first connection holes (81) can be greater than the width of the second connection protrusions (93) and the second connection holes (92).


With reference to FIGS. 9 and 10, when the diffusing member (78) and the circuit board (76) attached to the module housing (74), the light source (75) corresponds to the light source receiving groove (100) of the diffusing member (78). There is a diffusing portion (90) is provided inside the light source receiving groove (100). Said diffusing portion (90) has an essentially curved shape. As can be seen in FIGS. 3 and 11, the light source (75) directs the light beams towards the diffusing portion (90) and the diffusing portion (90) directs the light beams (LB) towards the respective second storage chamber (4). The diffusing portion (90) has a purpose to diffuse the light beams (LB) generated by the light source (75), towards the second storage chamber (4) and to prevent dazzling of the user.


In the invention, the module housing (74) is made from a plastic-based material. On the other hand, as can be seen in FIG. 10, the first connection protrusions (82) of the module housing (74) has a free end (87) away from the base (79) of the module housing (74). FIG. 10 illustrates the cross-sectional view one step before the completion of the mounting process of the light module (71). FIG. 11 illustrates the cross-sectional view after the completion of the mounting process of the light module (71). As can be seen in FIG. 11, the free end (87) of the connection protrusions (82) is formed so as to provide a widening section (88). In more details, the free end (87) is formed with a melting process. The widening section (88) has a width dimension greater than the width dimension of the first connection holes (81). The widening section (88) can be in a domed shape. Thus, the circuit board (76) is fixed between the widening section (88) and the diffusing member (78) with such a sandwich-like connection arrangement. With this arrangement, the vertical movements of the circuit board (76) and the diffusing member (78) are prevented.


In a possible embodiment of the invention, the household refrigeration appliance (1) comprises two first drawer-type doors (5) configured to open or close the first storage chamber (3) and two second drawer-type doors (6) configured to open or close the second storage chamber (4) and provided under the respective first drawer-type doors (5).
