Embodiment Construction

[0026] figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of a storage container according to an embodiment of the present invention. Such as figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a storage container 10 for a refrigerator, which may include a barrel 100 with a front opening and a drawer 200 disposed in the barrel 100 and extractable from the opening. In particular, the storage container 10 may also include an identification mark 300, an infrared sensor 400 and an electronic lock. Wherein, the identification mark 300 may be provided on the front surface of the door of the drawer 200. The infrared sensor 400 may be configured to illuminate the identification mark 300. The electronic lock is used to lock the drawer 200 to the barrel 100 and can be configured to unlock the drawer 200 and the barrel 100 when the infrared sensor 400 senses that the identification mark 300 is touched.

Abstract

The invention relates to a refrigerator and a storage container used for the same. The storage container comprises an identification mark, an infrared sensor and an electronic lock, wherein the identification mark is arranged on the front surface of the door body of a drawer; the infrared sensor is configured to irradiate the identification mark; the electronic lock is used for enabling the drawer to be locked in a cylinder body and configured to unlock the drawer from the cylinder body when the infrared sensor senses that the identification mark is touched; besides, the invention further provides a refrigerator provided with the storage container. According to the refrigerator and the storage container, the infrared sensor can irradiate the identification mark, so that the inductive signal of the infrared sensor is taken as the unlocking signal of the drawer, press keys and a wire bundle to be connected with the press keys do not need to be arranged in the drawer, the structural arrangement of the drawer is facilitated, and hidden dangers to the safety of the wire bundle due to frequent opening / closing of the drawer are also be avoided.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of refrigerating and freezing storage, in particular to a refrigerator and a storage container for the refrigerator. Background technique [0002] At present, some refrigerator drawers have a locking function, which can lock the drawer in the cylinder, which not only improves the airtightness of the drawer, but also prevents the drawer from being opened due to misoperation, and effectively prevents the drawer from being opened by mistake. In order to facilitate the unlocking operation of the refrigerator drawer, in some prior arts, the refrigerator drawer is provided with a button for unlocking the drawer, and the drawer can be controlled to be unlocked through the control panel after the button is pressed by a human hand. [0003] However, this unlocking method generally requires a wiring harness to be connected between the button and the control board to sense the unlocking signal. Because the drawer needs to be drawn freq...
