Detailed Implementation
[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] Reference Figures 1-6 A refrigerator controller with multiple control methods includes a controller body 5, a baffle 6, and a protective shell 1. The controller body 5 has a Bluetooth module and a WIFI module inside. The top and bottom of the controller body 5 have sliding grooves 18. The top and bottom of the protective shell 1 are each fixed with two sliders 19 by bolts, and the sliding grooves 18 are slidably connected to the sliders 19. Two spring hinges 4 are fixed to one side of the protective shell 1 by bolts, and the baffle 6 is fixed to the spring hinges 4. The baffle 6 is in contact with the controller body 5. A top rod 16 is fixed to the top outer wall of the controller body 5 by bolts, and the top rod 16 can contact the baffle 6. A second fixing block 15 is fixed to the top of the protective shell 1 by bolts. A wedge block 14 is slidably connected inside the second fixing block 15. A first spring 9 is sleeved on the outside of the wedge block 14, and the two ends of the first spring 9 are respectively fixed to the second fixing block 15 and the wedge block 14. Two first fixing blocks are fixed to the top outer wall of the controller body 5 by bolts. 12. Two first fixing blocks 12 are located on the left and right sides of the controller body 5 respectively. Pushing the protective shell 1 causes the wedge block 14 to move out of the first fixing block 12 located on the right side of the controller body 5. At this time, the slider 19 moves to the left along the slide groove 18, and the baffle 6 moves to the left along the top rod 16 in a rotated open state. The first fixing block 12 has a slot 11 inside, and the wedge block 14 is inserted into the slot 11. Then the protective shell 1 drives the second fixing block 15 to continue moving, so that the wedge block 14 contacts the first fixing block 12 located on the left side of the controller body 5. At this time, the wedge block 14 is squeezed, causing the first spring 9 to contract. When the wedge block 14 moves to a suitable position and corresponds to the slot 11, the first spring 9 rebounds and extends, so that the wedge block 14 is inserted into the slot 11. At the same time, the baffle 6 moves to a suitable position and separates from the top rod 16. Under the action of the spring hinge 4, the baffle 6 closes, so that the baffle 6 and the protective shell 1 protect the control buttons on the controller body 5.
[0033] In this utility model, it should be noted that a stop block 10 is bolted to the outer side of the wedge block 14. The stop block 10 can limit the movement distance of the wedge block 14, ensuring stable movement of the wedge block 14 and preventing excessive movement of the wedge block 14 from affecting the use of the device. A magnetic block 13 is bolted to one side of one of the first fixing blocks 12, and the magnetic block 13 is in contact with the wedge block 14. The wedge block 14 is made of iron. When the wedge block 14 is inserted into the slot 11 located on the left side of the controller body 5, the magnetic block 13 contacts the wedge block 14. At this time, the attraction of the magnetic block 13 can fix the position of the wedge block 14 a second time. The controller body 5 has one side... A protective film 17 is provided and affixed to the display screen on the controller body 5 to protect the display screen. An observation port is provided on one side of the protective shell 1, and an observation window 8 is fixed inside the observation port by bolts. A handle 7 is fixed to the outer wall of one side of the protective shell 1 by bolts, allowing the operator to push and pull the protective shell 1. A handle 24 is fixed to the bottom outer wall of the controller body 5 by bolts. Multiple grooves 25 are provided on one side of the handle 24. Two slots 31 are provided inside the controller body 5, and a locking block 30 is slidably connected within the slots 31. A slope 27 is provided on one side of the locking block 30, and a screw is used to connect the locking block 30 to the screen. A telescopic rod 32 is fixed to the controller body 5. A compression spring 26 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 32, and the two ends of the compression spring 26 are fixed to the locking block 30 and the slot 31, respectively. A slot 28 is opened on one side of the controller body 5, and a fixing rod 21 is inserted into the slot 28. One end of the fixing rod 21 has a slanted groove 29, which is engaged with the locking block 30. A fixing plate 23 is fixed to one end of the fixing rod 21 by bolts. Adhesive 22 is provided on one side of the fixing plate 23. When it is necessary to easily install the controller body 5, the fixing rod 21 is first inserted into the slot 28, so that one end of the fixing rod 21 presses against the slanted groove of the locking block 30. The device is fixed to the refrigerator body 5 by means of adhesive 22. The device is then fixed to the refrigerator body 5 by means of adhesive 22. The device is fixed to the refrigerator body 5 by means of adhesive 27, thereby moving the locking block 30 along the groove 31, and the telescopic rod 32 and the compression spring 26 retract. When the fixed rod 21 moves to the appropriate position so that the inclined groove 29 is directly above the locking block 30, the compression spring 26 rebounds and extends, thereby locking the locking block 30 into the inclined groove 29, and the telescopic rod 32 extends, thereby fixing the fixed rod 21 and the controller body 5. Then, the device is fixed to the refrigerator body 5 by means of adhesive 22 for easy use. The top outer wall of the controller body 5 is fixed with a wireless sensor 20 by bolts. The wireless sensor 20 can transmit and receive signals, so that people can control the controller body 5 by means of an external remote control.
[0034] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When it is necessary to protect the control buttons and display screen on the controller body 5, the protective shell 1 is first pushed, causing the wedge block 14 to move out of the first fixing block 12 located on the right side of the controller body 5. At this time, the slider 19 moves to the left along the slide groove 18, and the baffle 6 moves to the left along the top rod 16 in a rotated open state. Then, the protective shell 1 drives the second fixing block 15 to continue moving, so that the wedge block 14 contacts the first fixing block 12 located on the left side of the controller body 5. At this time, the wedge block 14 is squeezed, causing the first spring 9 to contract. When the wedge block 14 moves to the appropriate position and corresponds to the slot 11, the first spring 9 rebounds and extends, so that the wedge block 14 is inserted into the slot 11. At this time, the magnetic block 13 contacts the wedge block 14, so that the position of the wedge block 14 is fixed again. At the same time, the baffle 6 moves. When the device is moved to the appropriate position and separated from the top rod 16, the baffle 6 closes under the action of the spring hinge 4, thereby protecting the control buttons and display screen on the controller body 5 by the baffle 6 and the protective shell 1. When the controller body 5 needs to be installed conveniently, first insert the fixing rod 21 into the slot 28, so that one end of the fixing rod 21 presses the inclined surface 27 of the locking block 30, thereby moving the locking block 30 along the slot 31, and the telescopic rod 32 and the compression spring 26 retract. When the fixing rod 21 moves to the appropriate position so that the inclined slot 29 is directly above the locking block 30, the compression spring 26 rebounds and extends, thereby locking the locking block 30 into the inclined slot 29, and the telescopic rod 32 extends, thereby fixing the fixing rod 21 and the controller body 5. Then, the device is fixed in the appropriate position on the refrigerator by the adhesive 22 for convenient use.
