Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in the case of wanting to automatically open the door when touching a specific part of the front panel, the following malfunctions may occur: even if the user accidentally touches the part without intending to open the door or a part of the user's body is unconscious Touching this part will also cause the door to open
[0004] In order to avoid such malfunctions, it is conceivable to use the technology of operating the door opener through the touch detection mechanism, but malfunctions cannot be avoided.

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0094] Such as figure 1 , figure 2 As shown, the refrigerator 1 of the first embodiment has a cabinet 11 as a main body of the refrigerator. Housing 11 has, from the upper stage, refrigerator compartment 12 , vegetable compartment 13 , switching compartment 14 capable of switching the set temperature in the refrigerator, and freezing compartment 15 . In addition, an ice making compartment 16 is provided on the left side of the switch compartment 14 .

[0095] Such as Figure 1 ~ Figure 3 As shown, in order to cover the front surface opening of the refrigerator compartment 12, a pair of left and right doors 21 and 22 are mounted on the left and right ends by hinges to open and close in a split style. Moreover, the vegetable compartment 13, the switching compartment 14, the freezer compartment 15, and the ice making compartment 16 are provided with push-pull type doors 23, 24, 25, 26, respectively. A refrigerating evaporator (not shown) for cooling refrigerating room 12 and...

Embodiment approach

[0117] As the simplest refrigerator door structure, a left-handed or right-handed single door is arranged in front of the refrigerator compartment. As the door structure, the following structure can also be adopted: a colored transparent door is installed on the front surface of the heat-insulating door body The non-conductive front panel is equipped with a control operation part for changing the cooling control content of the refrigerator and a door opening operation part for operating the door opening operation of the door opening device. That is, it is also possible to use Figure 1 ~ Figure 3 The structure of the shown right door 22 is provided in the structure of 1 door (2nd embodiment).

[0118] In addition, the control operation part 50 and the door opening operation parts 51 and 52 are not limited to capacitive touch sensors, and may be pressure-sensitive sensors, infrared sensors, etc. that do not have unevenness on the surface side of the front panels 21A and 22A, bu...

Abstract

A refrigerator (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a refrigerator main body (11) with a front opening; thermally insulating doors (21, 22) attached to the front opening of the refrigerator main body (11); 11), and a door opening device (54, 55) for forcibly opening the door (21, 22); a control operation part (50) provided on the door (22) for performing an operation for changing the cooling control content of the refrigerator ); a door opening operation unit (51, 52) provided on the door (21, 22) for operating the door opening action of the door opening device (54, 55); input from the control operation unit and the door opening operation unit (51, 52) A control unit (56) that performs the corresponding cooling control and door opening control according to the operation signal. The portion that provides the door opening operation input to the door opening operation part (51, 52) is a part of the front panel (21A, 22A) of the door, and is continuous and integral with the front panel (21A, 22A). A different operation method is adopted for the operation of the control operation part (50) and the operation of the door opening operation part (51, 52).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a refrigerator having a touch sensor on the front panel of the door front surface. Background technique [0002] In recent years, refrigerators having a front panel made of glass or plastic as a cosmetic panel have appeared on the door. For such a refrigerator, the operation input unit adopts electrostatic capacitive touch keys and is arranged on the front panel. The corresponding operation signal is transmitted to the refrigerator control unit. It is also desirable that such a refrigerator has a door opening device that detects a user's touch operation on a specific part of the front panel to automatically open the door. [0003] However, in the case of wanting to automatically open the door when touching a specific part of the front panel, the following malfunctions may occur: even if the user accidentally touches the part without intending to open the door or the user is not aware of a part of the body Ground cont...
