Embodiment approach 1

[0038] (Structure of Refrigerator 1)

[0039] figure 1 It is a schematic front view of the refrigerator of Embodiment 1.

[0040] Such as figure 1 As shown, the refrigerator 1 has the following structure: As a storage room, a refrigerating room 2 is provided on the uppermost stage, an ice making room 3 is provided on the left side toward the front, a switching room 4 is provided on the right side, and a freezing room is provided below it. The room 5 further includes a vegetable room 6 therebelow. The refrigerating room 2 has a structure having two left and right hinged doors, and an operation panel 7 is provided on the left side facing the front.

[0041] In addition, the structure of each storage room provided in the above-mentioned refrigerator 1 is only an example, and a storage room different from the above-mentioned structure may be provided, or only a part of the above-mentioned storage rooms may be provided. In addition, the arrangement of these storage rooms Nor is...

Embodiment approach 2

[0152] In this second embodiment, a mode in which information that can be selected and set by the switch unit 8 is displayed for a predetermined time at the time of transition display will be described.

[0153] In addition, the structure of the refrigerator 1 and the operation panel 7 in this Embodiment 2 is the same as Embodiment 1, and the same code|symbol is attached|subjected to the same part.

[0154] [When all lights are off]

[0155] First, when all the displays are off (not displayed), the operation of the switch unit 8 is operated and the "lighting of the display" is started.

[0156] Figure 12 It is a diagram showing the operation of the operation panel according to Embodiment 2 (when all lights are off).

[0157] Such as Figure 12 (A) When all the displays are off, if one of the switches of the switch part 8 is operated, as Figure 12 As indicated by the dotted line b in (B), first, only the currently selected booth display 9 a and the booth selection switch ...

Embodiment approach 3

[0173] In this Embodiment 3, the form which performs the operation of several operation setting with one switch is demonstrated.

[0174] Figure 14 It is a figure which shows the structure and display state of the operation panel of Embodiment 3.

[0175] exist Figure 14 In , the state where all the display elements displayed on the display part 9 and the switch display part 10 are lighted on the operation panel 7 is shown.

[0176] Such as Figure 14 As shown, the operation panel 7 in Embodiment 3 has the configuration of Embodiment 1 described above ( figure 2 ), besides the instant freezing display 9c of the display unit 9, a quick freezing display 9e is provided.

[0177] Moreover, the display 10e for quick freezing switches is provided close to the display 10c for instant freezing switches of the display part 10 for switches.

[0178] The quick freezing display 9e shows the setting status of the cooling function of the freezer compartment 5 .

[0179] In the disp...

Abstract

The invention discloses a refrigerator. The invention provides a refrigerator which is characterized in that, a user can know a good sequence of operating a plurality of switches disposed on an operation panel, and operability of the operation panel can be improved. The refrigerator is provided with: a compartment selection switch (8a) selecting a compartment for operation setting among a plurality of compartments; one or a plurality of setting switches performing operation of operation setting of the compartment; a current selection compartment display (9a) displaying information of the compartment selected among the compartments via the compartment selection switch (8a); and a setting display part displaying information of operation setting of the compartment, wherein, according to the operation sequence of the compartment selection switch (8a) and the setting switches, information displayed by the current selection compartment display (9a) and in the setting display part are successively displayed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and particularly relates to the operability of an operation panel thereof. Background technique [0002] In recent years, refrigerators that are divided into a plurality of compartments (storage compartments) in different temperature zones have become mainstream in accordance with the diversification of eating habits. In addition, the temperature setting of each compartment of the refrigerator can be adjusted to be slightly lower or slightly higher according to user's preference. Furthermore, there are also many refrigerators equipped with a temperature switching chamber capable of freely setting the temperature of the compartment from a refrigerating temperature of about 3°C ​​to a freezing temperature of about -18°C. [0003] In a refrigerator equipped with a plurality of compartments (storage compartments) as described above, the temperature setting of each compartment can be adjusted through an oper...
