[0043] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a detection device is provided in the first embodiment of the present invention, and the detection device is used to detect the rotation angle of the rotating member relative to the mounting base. A rotation hole is provided on one of the rotating member and the mounting base, and a rotating shaft for being inserted into the rotation hole is provided on the other. The detection device includes: a capacitive sensor 10, an oscillator 20 and a controller 30. The capacitive sensor 10 includes a first electrode plate 11 and a second electrode plate 12. One of the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 is installed on the rotating shaft, and the other is installed in the rotating hole. When the rotation angle of the rotating member relative to the mounting base changes, the relative position relationship between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 changes. The oscillator 20 is connected to the capacitive sensor 10; the controller 30 is connected to the oscillator 20 to determine the rotation angle of the rotating member according to the oscillation signal generated by the oscillator 20.

[0045] By using the detection device provided in this embodiment, when the rotating member rotates relative to the mounting base, the relative position relationship between the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 changes, so that the relative coverage area between the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 changes, thereby causing the capacitance of the capacitive sensor 10 to change, and then the oscillation signal of the oscillator 20 changes. The controller 30 can reversely calculate the change of the capacitance according to the oscillation signal of the oscillator 20, and then the change of the relative coverage area between the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 can be obtained. The rotation angle of the rotating member can be further calculated by the change of the relative coverage area of ​​the first plate 11 and the second plate 12. Since the oscillator 20 can sensitively perform corresponding oscillations according to the change of the capacitance of the capacitive sensor 10, the accuracy of the detection of the rotation angle of the rotating member can be effectively guaranteed. Therefore, the detection device provided in this embodiment can solve the problem that the opening of the box door cannot be accurately detected in the prior art.

[0046] In this embodiment, the detection device further includes a signal processing module, through which the controller 30 is connected to the oscillator 20, and the signal processing module converts the oscillation amplitude and frequency of the oscillator 20 into analog quantity and switch quantity and transmits the analog quantity and switch quantity to the controller 30. With such a setting, it is convenient for the controller 30 to perform calculations according to the signal processed by the signal processing module, so as to calculate the rotation angle of the rotating member.

[0047] Specifically, the signal processing module includes: a filter and an analog signal processor, the filter is connected to the oscillator 20 to filter the output signal of the oscillator 20 to avoid interference from irrelevant signals. The filter and the controller 30 are both connected to the analog signal processor, and the analog signal processor is used to process the signal filtered by the filter and transmit the processed signal to the controller 30 so that the controller 30 can process the processed signal.

[0048] Specifically, the first pole plate 11 is an arc-shaped pole plate so as to adapt to the rotation of the rotating member and avoid interference between the first pole plate 11 and the second pole plate 12 due to the rotation of the rotating member.

[0049] The second pole plate 12 is an arc-shaped pole plate so as to adapt to the rotation of the rotating member and avoid the mutual interference between the first pole plate 11 and the second pole plate 12 caused by the rotation of the rotating member.

[0050] Specifically, the first electrode plate 11 is an arc electrode plate, and the second electrode plate 12 is an arc electrode plate.

[0051] The first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 are arranged concentrically, so that the change of the rotation angle between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 can be quickly known through the mutual covering area between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12, which is convenient for calculation.

[0052] Specifically, the central angle corresponding to the first electrode plate 11 is equal to the central angle corresponding to the second electrode plate 12. In this way, it is easy to confirm the relative position relationship between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12. Specifically, when the rotation angle of the rotating member relative to the mounting base is zero, that is, the rotating member is blocked at the mounting opening of the mounting base, the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 can be completely arranged opposite to each other; when the rotation angle of the rotating member relative to the mounting base is greater than zero, the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 are partially misaligned.

[0053] In this embodiment, the detection device further includes a display, which is connected to the controller 30, and the display is used to display the rotation angle determined by the controller 30. In this way, the rotation angle of the rotating member can be displayed on the display, so that the user can know the opening or closing state of the refrigerator in time.

[0054] Specifically, the display is arranged on the rotating member, and the display is located at a side of the rotating member away from the mounting opening of the mounting base, so that the user can better observe the rotation angle of the refrigerator door.

[0055] Specifically, the detection device also includes an alarm component, which is connected to the controller 30 and is used to send an alarm signal according to the rotation state of the rotating component. Specifically, when the controller 30 detects that the rotation angle of the rotating component corresponds to the open state for a time greater than or equal to a preset time length, the alarm component sends an alarm signal to prompt the user that the door is in the open state.

[0056] like Figure 4As shown, the second embodiment of the present invention provides a refrigerator, which includes: a door body 40, a box body 50 and the detection device provided in the above embodiment, the door body 40 is rotatably arranged relative to the box body 50, the door body 40 forms a rotating member, and the box body 50 forms an installation base. In this way, the rotation angle of the door body 40 can be easily detected.

[0057] In this embodiment, the characteristic that the electric field on the surface of the electrode of the capacitive sensor 10 changes and causes the coupling capacitance to change is utilized, and the electric field on the surface of the two concentrically arranged metal electrodes of the capacitive sensor 10 is driven to change through the movement of the refrigerator door, causing the coupling capacitance to change, so that the oscillator 20 starts to oscillate, and the oscillation amplitude-frequency is converted into analog quantity and switching quantity and output, finally realizing the angle and switch state detection.

[0058] Specifically, the detection device can be placed in the hinge shaft of the refrigerator body 50 and the door, wherein the device includes a capacitive sensor 10, an oscillator 20 (specifically, a high-frequency oscillator 20), an amplitude signal processing module, etc. The capacitive sensor 10 has two electrode plates, namely, a fixed electrode plate and a moving electrode plate, which are respectively embedded between the fixed axis and the moving axis of the hinge shaft, one of the fixed electrode plate and the moving electrode plate corresponds to the first electrode plate 11, and the other corresponds to the second electrode plate 12. The oscillation processing is that the electric field on the surface of the metal electrode changes, causing the coupling capacitance to change, so that the oscillator 20 starts to oscillate; the amplitude signal processing is that the oscillation amplitude frequency generated by the oscillator 20 is converted into analog quantity and switch quantity and output.

[0059] At this time, when the door moves, it drives the two concentrically arranged metal electrode plates of the moving plate and the fixed plate of the capacitive sensor 10, so that the coverage area between the two metal electrode plates changes, the electric field on the electrode surface changes, and the capacitive coupling changes, and the capacity of the capacitive sensor 10 changes C=C0(1-θ / π), so that the oscillator 20 oscillates, and the amplitude signal is processed to judge and output the analog quantity and the switching quantity; the output data is used to collect the oscillation frequency and oscillation amplitude with the controller 30, so that the coverage area between the metal electrodes of the capacitive sensor 10 can be obtained, and the rotation angle can be obtained according to the calculation, thereby realizing the detection of the angle of the refrigerator door and the door switch state.

[0060] Among them, the angle is θ and the initial value C0 of the capacitance sensor 10. The capacitance of the capacitance sensor 10 can be derived according to the capacitance formula of the capacitor C=VQ (where C represents the capacitance and Q is the amount of charge in the capacitor): C=(εA(1-θ / π)) / d=C0(1-θ / π), C is the current state capacitance of the capacitance sensor 10 (in farads), ε is the dielectric constant, A is the area of ​​the electrode (in square meters), and d is the distance between the electrodes (in meters).

[0061] The controller 30 calculates the current door opening angle and determines the switch state of the refrigerator door, thereby finally realizing the door switch detection output. The capacitive switch has a faster response speed and higher accuracy, achieving precise control and a better experience.

[0062] Specifically, according to the characteristics of capacitors, changing the area of ​​the relative electrode plates of the capacitor will cause the capacitance to change nonlinearly. θ =H (height) × l (arc length)) is controlled by the rotating arc length variable (θπR / 180), and then the oscillator 20 system analyzes the capacity change of the capacitive sensor 10 by oscillating the frequency and amplitude to obtain the analog quantity and the refrigerator control system to obtain the refrigerator door opening angle θ.

[0063] When the overlap area of ​​the capacitor fixed plate and the moving plate decreases, the electrostatic charge decreases, and the capacitance decreases as the area decreases, thereby changing the oscillation frequency and amplitude of the oscillator 20. The capacitance of the variable capacitor depends on the distance between the capacitor plates, the relative area and the dielectric constant of the medium. According to the capacitance formula C = εS / d, the capacitance C is proportional to the area S of the capacitor plates, inversely proportional to the distance d between the plates, and proportional to the dielectric constant ε of the medium.

[0064] In this embodiment, there are at least two door bodies 40, at least two detection devices, at least two door bodies 40 are arranged at intervals on the installation base, at least two door bodies 40 are arranged one-to-one with at least two detection devices, and each detection device is used to detect the rotation angle of the corresponding door body 40. With such an arrangement, it is convenient to detect the rotation angle of each door body 40 separately.

[0065] Specifically, the detection device is arranged at the top of the door body 40, so as to effectively protect the detection device and avoid the situation where the detection device is arranged at a lower position and is easily interfered with by other components or is easily disturbed by the user's use.

[0066] Embodiment 3 of the present invention provides a detection method, which is applicable to the detection device provided above, and the detection method includes: obtaining the oscillation signal of the oscillator 20 of the detection device, and obtaining the oscillation frequency and oscillation amplitude according to the oscillation signal of the oscillator 20; calculating the relative coverage area between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 of the capacitive sensor 10 of the detection device according to the oscillation frequency and amplitude; calculating the rotation angle of the rotating member relative to the installation base according to the relative staggered coverage area of ​​the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12. Using such a detection method, it is convenient to accurately detect the rotation angle of the rotating member relative to the installation base, and it is convenient to quickly provide the user with the switch status of the box door.

[0067] Specifically, the relative coverage area between the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 can be calculated based on the oscillation frequency. When the overlapping area of ​​the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 decreases, the electrostatic charge decreases, and the capacitance decreases as the area decreases, thereby changing the oscillation frequency and amplitude of the oscillator. The capacitance of the variable capacitor depends on the distance between the capacitor plates, the relative area and the dielectric constant of the medium. According to the capacitance formula C=εS / d, the capacitance C is proportional to the capacitor plate area S (which can be understood as the relative staggered coverage area between the first plate 11 and the second plate 12), inversely proportional to the distance d between the plates, and proportional to the dielectric constant ε of the medium.

[0068] The capacitance sensor 10 forms a part of the RC oscillation or LC oscillation of the oscillator 20 during the detection and acquisition process. The working principle of the oscillator is to charge the capacitor with a known current, and the corresponding relationship is i=C*dv / dt, where the capacitance is equal to the current divided by the rate of change of the voltage across the capacitor. The frequency of the oscillator can be calculated by measuring the threshold voltage of the capacitor (relaxation oscillator). When the current is constant, the capacitance changes and decreases as the capacitance threshold voltage (amplitude) increases, and the capacitance changes and decreases as the capacitance charging time (frequency is equal to the inverse of time) increases.

[0069] Specifically, the voltage amplitude V0 determines the maximum voltage of the capacitor during charging and discharging. The current amplitude i depends on the rate of voltage change, that is, dV / dt. The basic formula C=(εA(1-θ / π)) / d=C0(1-θ / π) and the capacitive sensor in the detection and acquisition process constitute a part of the oscillator RC oscillation or LC oscillation. The working principle of the oscillator is to charge the capacitor with a known current, and the corresponding relationship is i=C*dv / dt to determine the relationship between frequency and angle.

[0070] From the above description, it can be seen that the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention achieves the following technical effects: according to the different states of the refrigerator door, the corresponding coupling generates different oscillation amplitudes. By utilizing the characteristics that the surface electric field of the electrode of the capacitive sensor changes and causes the coupling capacitance to change, the surface electric field of the two concentrically arranged metal electrodes (corresponding to the first plate and the second plate) of the capacitive sensor is driven to change through the action of the door, causing the coupling capacitance to change, so that the oscillator starts to oscillate, and the oscillation amplitude-frequency conversion analog quantity and switch quantity are output, finally realizing the angle and switch state detection, and quickly prompting the user of the door usage status.
