[0045] Combination Figure 1-5 As shown, in some embodiments, the refrigerator includes: a box body 200 and a first shelf 300. The box body 200 defines a first storage cavity 210; a plurality of first shelves 300 are provided, and one end of each first shelf 300 is rotatably connected to an inner wall of one side of the box body 200, and the other end is movably connected to an inner wall of the other side of the box body 200, so that each first shelf 300 can be rotated to extend out of or retract into the first storage cavity 210.

[0046] The refrigerator provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can place items in the first storage cavity 210 for storage by providing a plurality of first shelves 300. The first shelves 300 are rotatably provided in the first storage cavity 210 and can be rotated and extended according to the need of taking and placing items. By providing the rotatable first shelves 300 for storing and taking and placing items, the storage structure of the refrigerator is simplified and the cost is reduced.

[0047] Optionally, the front end of the first storage cavity 210 has a first opening 211, and the first opening 211 is located at the front side wall of the box body 200. In this way, the first shelf 300 can rotate along the first opening 211 and extend out of the first storage cavity 210, so as to facilitate the taking and placing of articles.

[0048] Optionally, one end of each first shelf 300 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the box 200 corresponding to one side of the first opening 211, and the other end of each first shelf 300 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the box 200 corresponding to the other side of the first opening 211. In this way, since the first opening 211 is located at the front side wall of the box 200, the first shelf 300 extends out or retracts into the first storage cavity 210 along the first opening 211, so that one end of the first shelf 300 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the box 200 corresponding to one side of the first opening 211, so that the first shelf 300 can be rotated around one side of the first opening 211 as the center, so that the first shelf 300 can be efficiently rotated and extended out of the first storage cavity 210. The other end of the first shelf 300 is movably connected to the inner wall of the box 200 corresponding to the other side of the first opening 211, and the first shelf 300 is supported by the inner walls of the two sides of the box 200 corresponding to the first opening 211, thereby improving the stability of the first shelf 300.

[0049] Specifically, one end of the first shelf 300 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of one vertical side of the box body 200 corresponding to the first opening 211 , and the other end of the first shelf 300 is movably connected to the inner wall of the other vertical side of the box body 200 corresponding to the first opening 211 .

[0050] Optionally, a support platform is provided on the inner wall of the box body 200 corresponding to the position of the other end of each first shelf 300, and when the first shelf 300 is rotated and retracted into the first storage cavity 210, the other end of the first shelf 300 slides and overlaps the corresponding support platform; when the first shelf 300 is rotated and extended out of the first storage cavity 210, the other end of the first shelf 300 slides and detaches from the corresponding support platform.

[0051] Optionally, a compressor compartment is further defined inside the box body 200, and the compressor compartment is located below the first storage cavity 210. A compressor and a condenser are arranged inside the compressor compartment, and the compressor compartment has a heat dissipation window connected to the outside. In this way, the compressor and the condenser are accommodated in the compressor compartment, and heat is dissipated through the heat dissipation window. The compressor compartment is arranged below the first storage cavity 210, so as to reduce the influence of the compressor compartment on the refrigeration in the first storage cavity 210.

[0052] It can be understood that the refrigerator also includes an evaporator, which is laid on the inner wall of the first storage cavity 210. The evaporator, compressor, condenser and other components together constitute the refrigeration system of the refrigerator, which will not be elaborated here.

[0053] Optionally, the refrigerator further includes: a door body 400 and a second shelf 500. A second storage cavity 410 is defined inside the door body 400; a plurality of second shelves 500 are provided, and one end of each second shelf 500 is rotatably connected to an inner wall of one side of the door body 400, and the other end is movably connected to an inner wall of another side of the door body 400, so that each second shelf 500 can be rotatably extended out or retracted into the second storage cavity 410. In this way, the second storage cavity 410 is provided inside the door body 400, and a plurality of second shelves 500 are provided inside the second storage cavity 410 for storage, so that the cabinet 200 and the door body 400 of the refrigerator both have storage functions, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the refrigerator. One end of each second shelf 500 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of one side of the door body 400, and the other end is movably connected to the inner wall of the other side of the door body 400. When taking and placing items in the second storage cavity 410, the second shelf 500 can be rotated and extended so that the storage area of ​​the second shelf 500 can be fully displayed in front of the user, making it convenient for the user to take and place items, thereby improving the efficiency of taking and placing items.

[0054] Optionally, the front end of the second storage cavity 410 has a second opening 411, and the second opening 411 is located at the front side wall of the second storage cavity 410. In this way, the second shelf 500 extends out or retracts into the second storage cavity 410 through the second opening 411, which is convenient for taking and placing items.

[0055] Optionally, the other end of each second shelf 500 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the door body 400 corresponding to the other side of the second opening 411. In this way, since the second opening 411 is located at the front side wall of the second storage cavity 410, multiple second shelves 500 extend or retract into the second storage cavity 410 along the second opening 411, so one end of each second shelf 500 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the door body 400 corresponding to one side of the second opening 411, so that the second shelf 500 can rotate around one side of the second opening 411 and efficiently rotate out of the second storage cavity 410. The other end of the second shelf 500 is movably connected to the inner wall of the door body 400 corresponding to the other side of the second opening 411, and the second shelf 500 is supported by the inner wall of the door body 400 corresponding to the other side of the second opening 411, thereby improving the stability of the second shelf 500.

[0056] Specifically, one end of the second shelf 500 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the door body 400 corresponding to the vertical side of one side of the second opening 411 , and the other end is movably connected to the inner wall of the door body 400 corresponding to the vertical side of the other side of the second opening 411 .

[0057] It can be understood that a plurality of support platforms are also provided on the inner wall of the door body 400 on the other side corresponding to the second opening 411, and each support platform is provided corresponding to a second shelf 500. When the second shelf 500 is retracted into the second storage cavity 410, the other end of the second shelf 500 is overlapped on the support platform corresponding thereto. When the second shelf 500 is extended out of the second storage cavity 410, the other end of the second shelf 500 slides away from the support platform corresponding thereto.

[0058] Optionally, the box body 200 and the door body 400 have the same shape and size, and the box body 200 and the door body 400 are rotatably connected at opposite sides. In this way, the box body 200 and the door body 400 are equally divided, so that the first storage cavity 210 defined by the box body 200 and the second storage cavity 410 defined by the door body 400 both have a large storage space and can store relatively more items. When the door body 400 is opened relative to the box body 200, it can be opened to a relatively large amplitude, so that the first storage cavity 210 and the second storage cavity 410 are more fully displayed to the user, thereby improving the efficiency of taking and placing items.

[0059] Optionally, both the box body 200 and the door body 400 are semi-cylindrical structures, and a cylindrical structure is formed when the door body 400 covers the box body 200. In this way, the space occupied by the box body 200 and the door body 400 can be reduced, and the space utilization rate inside the box body 200 and the door body 400 can be improved.

[0060] Specifically, the first storage cavity 210 and the second storage cavity 410 are both semi-cylindrical cavities, and when the door body 400 is closed with the box body 200, the first storage cavity 210 and the second storage cavity 410 are connected to form a cylindrical cavity. In this way, the shapes of the first storage cavity 210 and the second storage cavity 410 are respectively adapted to the shapes of the box body 200 and the door body 400, thereby improving the space utilization rate inside the box body 200 and the door body 400.

[0061] Specifically, the shape of the first shelf 300 is adapted to the shape of the cross section of the first storage cavity 210, and the shape of the second shelf 500 is adapted to the shape of the cross section of the second storage cavity 410. In this way, the first shelf 300 can be rotated more smoothly to extend or retract into the first storage cavity 210, and the second shelf 500 can be rotated more smoothly to extend or retract into the second storage cavity 410.

[0062] Optionally, the first shelf 300 and the second shelf 500 are evenly arranged in the vertical direction, and the first shelf 300 and the second shelf 500 are staggered. In this way, when both the first storage cavity 210 and the second storage cavity 410 need to take and put items, the first shelf 300 and the second shelf 500 can be rotated and extended. In order to avoid interference when the first shelf 300 and the second shelf 500 are rotated and extended, the first shelf 300 and the second shelf 500 are staggered, so that there is a height difference between the first shelf 300 and the second shelf 500, so that the adjacent first shelf 300 and the second shelf 500 are rotated and extended without interference.

[0063] Optionally, a roller 420 is provided at the lower end of the door body 400 to support the door body 400. In this way, since the cabinet 200 and the door body 400 are equally divided, the door body 400 is relatively large in size, and a plurality of second shelves 500 are provided inside the door body 400 to store items, which also increases the weight of the door body 400. Therefore, a roller 420 is provided at the lower end of the door body 400, and the roller 420 is used to support the door body 400, thereby reducing the risk of the door body 400 pulling the cabinet 200 and causing the refrigerator to tilt. The roller 420 is slidably connected to the ground and can be opened as the door body 400 rotates.

[0064] Optionally, a driving unit 430 is provided on one side of the roller 420, and an output end of the driving unit 430 is fixedly connected to the axis of the roller 420. In this way, the driving unit 430 can drive the roller 420 to rotate, thereby driving the door body 400 to open or close, without the need for user operation, thereby improving the user experience.

[0065] Specifically, the driving unit 430 is a motor.

[0066] Optionally, a plurality of driving mechanisms 600 are arranged on the inner wall of one side of the box body 200 that is rotatably connected to the first shelf 300, and each driving mechanism 600 is arranged corresponding to one first shelf 300, and the output end of each driving mechanism 600 is connected to the end of the corresponding first shelf 300, so that each first shelf 300 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the box body 200 through the corresponding driving mechanism 600. In this way, each first shelf 300 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the box body 200 through the driving mechanism 600 corresponding thereto, and the driving mechanism 600 can drive the first shelf 300 to rotate, extend out, or retract into the first storage cavity 210, without the need for user operation, thereby further improving the efficiency of taking and placing items.

[0067] Specifically, the driving mechanism 600 is also a motor.

[0068] Specifically, a plurality of driving mechanisms 600 are arranged along the vertical side of one side of the first opening 211, and the plurality of driving mechanisms 600 are fixed on the inner wall of the box body 200 corresponding to the vertical side of one side of the first opening 211. In this way, each driving mechanism 600 can stably support and drive the first shelf 300 corresponding thereto.

[0069] It can be understood that a plurality of driving mechanisms 600 are also provided on the inner wall on one side of the door body 400 to which the second shelf 500 is rotatably connected. Each driving mechanism 600 is provided corresponding to a second shelf 500. The second shelf 500 is fixedly connected to the output end of the driving mechanism 600 corresponding to it. Each second shelf 500 is rotatably connected to the inner wall on one side of the door body 400 through the driving mechanism 600 corresponding to it. The second shelf 500 is driven by the driving mechanism 600 to rotate, extend out or retract into the second storage cavity 410, which will not be elaborated here.

[0070] Optionally, an arc-shaped support rod 700 is provided at a position of the inner wall of the box body 200 corresponding to the end of the first shelf 300 that is movably connected. The arc-shaped support rod 700 is fixedly connected to the side of the first shelf 300 and can be extended or retracted into the inner wall of the box body 200 along with the first shelf 300. In this way, since one end of the first shelf 300 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the box body 200 to form a support, and the other end is overlapped with the support platform of the inner wall of the box body 200, when the first shelf 300 is extended, the other end is separated from the support of the support platform, resulting in reduced stability of the first shelf 300. Therefore, the arc-shaped support rod 700 is provided to be connected to the side of the first shelf 300, and the arc-shaped support rod 700 is used to support the other end of the first shelf 300, thereby improving the stability of the first shelf 300.

[0071] Optionally, an arc groove 800 is provided on the inner wall of the box body 200, and the shape of the arc groove 800 is adapted to one side of the first shelf 300. The arc support rod 700 is slidably provided in the arc groove 800. When the first shelf 300 is rotated and extended, the front end of the arc support rod 700 extends out of the arc groove 800 along with the first shelf 300. When the first shelf 300 is rotated and retracted, the arc support rod 700 retracts into the arc groove 800 along with the first shelf 300. In this way, the arc support rod 700 is slidably provided in the arc groove 800. When the first shelf 300 is extended, the front end of the arc support rod 700 is extended along with the first shelf 300. The arc support rod 700 is used to support the first shelf 300, thereby improving the stability of the first shelf 300. When the first shelf 300 is retracted, the arc-shaped support rod 700 can be retracted into the arc-shaped groove 800 to be hidden, so as to prevent the arc-shaped support rod 700 from occupying the internal space of the box body 200 .

[0072] Specifically, the front end of the arc support rod 700 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the first shelf 300. In this way, the arc support rod 700 is used to better support the first shelf 300, and the arc support rod 700 is prevented from being disengaged from the arc groove 800 as the first shelf 300 is overextended.

[0073] It can be understood that the inner wall of the box body 200 corresponding to the movable connection end of each first shelf 300 is provided with a structure of an arc groove 800 and an arc support rod 700, and each first shelf 300 is supported by the arc support rod 700; the inner wall of the door body 400 corresponding to the movable connection end of each second shelf 500 is also provided with a structure of an arc groove 800 and an arc support rod 700, and each second shelf 500 is also supported by the arc support rod 700.

[0076] S02, the processor determines the target shelf according to the access information of the item;

[0077] S03, the processor controls the target shelf to rotate and extend out of the refrigerator for taking and placing items.

[0078] By adopting the control method for a refrigerator provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, when a user needs to take or place an item, the target shelf is determined by obtaining the taking or placing information of the item, and the target shelf is controlled to rotate and extend so that the storage area of ​​the target shelf is fully displayed in front of the user. The user can take or place the item according to demand, thereby improving the efficiency of taking or placing the item.

[0079] Optionally, the item access information includes: access information and / or storage information. In this way, in actual use, the user may need to access items from the refrigerator, store items, or access items at the same time. Therefore, the processor obtains the access information and / or storage information of the item, better determines the target shelf according to the access information of the item, accurately locates the area where the user wants to access or store items, and improves the efficiency of accessing and storing items.

[0080] Optionally, the processor determines the target shelf according to the access information of the item, including: the processor determines the target shelf from a plurality of first shelves and a plurality of second shelves according to the access information of the item. In this way, since both the cabinet and the door of the refrigerator have storage functions, and a plurality of first shelves are arranged inside the cabinet, and a plurality of second shelves are arranged inside the door, the target shelf is determined from the plurality of first shelves and the plurality of second shelves according to the access information of the item.

[0081] Optionally, the processor determines the target shelf from the plurality of first shelves and the plurality of second shelves according to the access information of the items, including: the processor parses the access information of the items to determine keywords in the access information of the items, and determines the target shelf according to the correspondence between the keywords and the plurality of first shelves and the plurality of second shelves.

[0082] The plurality of first shelves include a first shelf A, a first shelf B, and a first shelf C, and the plurality of second shelves include a second shelf A, a second shelf B, and a second shelf C. The plurality of first shelves and the plurality of second shelves are respectively used to store different types of items, for example, the first shelf A is used to store mineral water, the first shelf B is used to store yogurt drinks, the first shelf C is used to store poultry and egg ingredients, the second shelf A is used to store fruits, the second shelf B is used to store vegetables, and the second shelf C is used to store ice cream. In the case where the keyword determined by the processor analysis is to take mineral water, the target shelf is determined to be the first shelf A from the plurality of first shelves and the plurality of second shelves; in the case where the keyword determined by the processor analysis is to store yogurt drinks, the first shelf B is determined to be the target shelf; in the case where the keyword determined by the processor analysis is to take drinking water and vegetables, the first shelf A and the second shelf B are determined to be the target shelves; in the case where the keyword determined by the processor analysis is to take drinking water and store ice cream, the first shelf A and the second shelf C are determined to be the target shelves.

[0083] Optionally, the processor controls the target shelf to rotate and extend out of the refrigerator for taking and placing items, including: the processor controls a driving mechanism corresponding to the target shelf to drive the target shelf to rotate and extend out of the refrigerator for taking and placing items. In this way, since each first shelf and each second shelf is correspondingly provided with a driving mechanism, when the target shelf is determined, the driving mechanism corresponding to the target shelf is controlled to rotate to drive the target shelf to rotate.

[0084] Specifically, the processor controls the driving mechanism corresponding to the target shelf to drive the target shelf to rotate and extend out of the refrigerator, including: the processor controls the driving mechanism corresponding to the target shelf to drive the target shelf to rotate and extend out of the cabinet and / or door.

[0085] Exemplarily, each first shelf and each second shelf is correspondingly provided with a driving mechanism, and each first shelf and each second shelf have a binding relationship with the corresponding driving mechanism. When the processor determines the target shelf, the driving mechanism corresponding to the target shelf can be determined according to the binding relationship, thereby controlling the driving mechanism to drive the target to rotate.

[0086] Optionally, the refrigerator further includes: a voice collection module. The voice collection module is arranged on the side wall of the box body or the door body; the processor acquires the access information of the item, including: the processor acquires the access information of the item sent by the voice collection module. In this way, when the user needs to access the item, the access information of the item can be sent in the form of voice, the voice collection module acquires the voice information sent by the user, and the processor acquires the information sent by the voice collection module, which simplifies the acquisition process of the access information of the item.

[0087] For example, when a user needs to get drinking water, he or she may say the voice message "I want to get drinking water". The voice acquisition module collects the voice message and sends it to the processor. The processor parses the access information of the item and obtains the keyword "get drinking water". Then, the processor determines that the target shelf is the first shelf A based on the keyword, and controls the driving mechanism corresponding to the first shelf A to rotate to extend the first shelf A.

[0088] Optionally, before the processor obtains the access information of the items sent by the voice collection module, the processor further includes: determining whether there is a user within a preset distance in front of the refrigerator; and controlling the voice collection module to be powered on when there is a user. In this way, the processor controls the voice collection module to be powered on to collect voice information only when there is a user within the preset distance in front of the refrigerator, so as to avoid the occurrence of erroneous collection. Specifically, the preset distance is 1 meter.

[0089] Combination Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a control method for a refrigerator includes:

[0090] S01, the processor obtains the access information of the item;

[0091] S02, the processor determines the target shelf according to the access information of the item;

[0092] S04, the processor controls the opening angle of the refrigerator door according to the position of the target shelf;

[0093] S03, the processor controls the target shelf to rotate and extend out of the refrigerator for taking and placing items.

[0094] According to the control method for a refrigerator provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the cabinet and door of the refrigerator can both store items, the target shelf determined by the processor may be in the cabinet and / or the door. When the target shelf is in the cabinet or the door, the door can be opened at a moderate angle to allow the target shelf to be smoothly rotated and extended for the user to take and place items. When the target shelf is in the cabinet and the door, the door needs to be opened to a relatively large angle because the target shelves in the cabinet and the door need to be rotated and extended. The opening angle of the door is controlled according to the position of the target shelf, so as to reduce the leakage of cold in the refrigerator while meeting the needs of users to take and store items.

[0095] Optionally, the processor controls the opening angle of the refrigerator door according to the position of the target shelf, including: when the target shelf is inside the cabinet or door, the processor controls the door to open to 90°; when the target shelf is inside the cabinet and door, the processor controls the door to open to 180°. In this way, when the target shelf is inside the door or cabinet, the door is opened to 90° to meet the rotation and extension of the target shelf, thereby reducing the leakage of cold air while taking and storing items; when the target shelf is inside the door and cabinet, since the target shelf needs to rotate and extend out of the door and cabinet, the door is controlled to open to 180°, so that the target shelf can be smoothly extended, and the storage area of ​​the target shelf is better displayed to the user, thereby improving the efficiency of taking and placing items.

[0096] Specifically, the processor controls the door to open to 90°, including: the processor controls the driving unit of the roller at the lower end of the door to rotate a first stroke, so that the door is opened to 90°. Specifically, the processor controls the door to open to 180°, including: the processor controls the driving unit of the roller at the lower end of the door to rotate a second stroke, so that the door is opened to 180°.

[0097] It can be understood that the driving stroke of the driving unit is determined by the travel switch, the first travel corresponds to the door body opening to 90°, and the second travel corresponds to the door body opening to 180°. The processor controls the travel switch and then controls the driving stroke of the driving unit.

[0098] Optionally, after the processor controls the target shelf to rotate and extend out of the refrigerator for taking and placing items, it also includes: the processor obtains the user's door closing instruction; the processor controls the target shelf to rotate and retract into the box body and / or door body, and controls the door body to close.

[0099] Exemplarily, the door closing instruction obtained by the processor is also a voice message issued by the user.
