1. A pesticide residue removal device for a refrigerator, comprising:
an ozone generator configured to generate ozone;
an ozone water container configured to store water, wherein the ozone water container communicates with the ozone generator, so that ozone is dissolved into water of the ozone water container to obtain ozone water; and
an atomizer communicating to the ozone water container, receiving and atomizing the ozone water, and supplying the ozone water to a storage space of the refrigerator,
wherein the ozone generator is attached to a top of the ozone water container, an ozone outlet is formed in an attached position of the ozone generator and the ozone water container, and the ozone generator supplies ozone to the ozone water container through the ozone outlet without a conduit between the ozone outlet and the ozone water container;
wherein the atomizer is attached to a side wall of the ozone water container, with an ozone water outlet being formed in an attached position of the atomizer and the ozone water container, or the atomizer is inserted into the ozone water container, with at least a part of the atomizer being located in the ozone water container and an ozone water outlet being formed in the part of the atomizer located in the ozone water container, and the ozone water container supplies ozone water to the atomizer through the ozone water outlet; and
wherein the atomizer comprises an atomization outlet arranged on a top of the atomizer, such that an ozone water mist formed by atomizing the ozone water is sent from the atomizer upwards from the atomization outlet into the storage space of the refrigerator.
