For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] With the continuous improvement of living standards, refrigerators have become household appliances owned by most families, and the intelligent development of refrigerators is rapid. In order to cope with the different needs of small-sized consumers for refrigerators and the use of refrigeration and freezing capacity, temperature zone conversion refrigerators came into being, which can freely switch between refrigeration and freezing modes. In order to facilitate the use of users, a silk screen pattern will be set in the preset area of ​​the refrigerator to prompt the user. When the preset area of ​​the refrigerator can be converted into mode, this brings up the problem of how to display the temperature zone of the refrigerator drawer. For example: when refrigerating, it is a fruit and vegetable preservation drawer. After switching to freezing, the silk screen instructions printed on the drawer are wrong, and conventional ink silk screen cannot meet the display status of the drawer function and temperature zone in different modes, which seriously affects the user experience. To this end, the present application provides a kind of Figures 1 to 4 The refrigeration device shown includes: a shell, a storage chamber 11 is formed in the shell; at least two silk-screen structures 2, all of which are movably arranged in the storage chamber 11, and a projection area 12 is formed on the side wall of the storage chamber 11, and any one of the silk-screen structures 2 can form a projection on the projection area 12. By setting at least two silk-screen structures 2, the projection display on the side wall of the storage chamber 11 can be switched by switching the silk-screen structures 2, so that the silk-screen guide on the refrigeration device can be adjusted according to the working state of the storage chamber 11, so as to correctly guide the user to use the storage chamber 11 to store food, effectively overcoming the problem of the inability to adjust the silk-screen pattern printed on the drawer in the prior art and causing guidance errors, ensuring the accuracy of the silk-screen guide, and improving the user experience, and when the user does not need the silk-screen guide, the projection display can also be turned off by closing the silk-screen structure 2, so that the side wall of the storage chamber 11 is simple.

[0032] Specifically, when the storage chamber 11 is in a refrigerated state, the corresponding silk-screen structure 2 is projected and displayed at the projection area 12, such as displaying "refrigerated mode", and when the storage chamber 11 is switched to a frozen state, the silk-screen structure 2 switched to the frozen state is projected and displayed at the projection area 12, such as displaying "frozen mode", etc., to provide the user with correct guidance, ensure that the user can perform correct storage, and improve the user experience. Among them, the projection display of the silk-screen structure 2 includes but is not limited to "refrigerated mode", "frozen mode", "fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping cabin", "magic fresh-keeping cabin", etc.

[0033] The refrigeration device further includes a switching structure, all of the silk-screen structures 2 are arranged on the switching structure, and the switching structure can drive all of the silk-screen structures 2 to move so that any of the silk-screen structures 2 can form a projection on the projection area 12. By adjusting the switching structure, each silk-screen structure 2 can move to a preset position according to the state of the storage chamber 11, so that projection display can be performed on the projection area 12, thereby achieving the purpose of switching the projection display.

[0034] The switching structure includes a rotating member, which is rotatable, and all the screen printing structures 2 are distributed in a ring shape with the rotation axis of the rotating member as the axis. The position of the screen printing structure 2 is adjusted by rotating the rotating member, thereby achieving the purpose of switching the projection display.

[0035] Specifically, the rotating member is a spherical structure 3, and a projection port 31 is provided on the spherical structure 3. The projection port 31 corresponds to the silk-screen structure 2 one by one, and the spherical structure 3 can rotate with the center of the sphere as the center. The use of the spherical structure 3 can not only ensure that all silk-screen structures 2 can rotate reliably, but also use the shape of the spherical structure 3 to avoid the light generated by the silk-screen structure 2 that does not need to be projected to affect the projection display, thereby ensuring the clarity and accuracy of the projection display. In particular, when the light source is located at the center of the spherical structure 3, the light source will emit light in all directions inside the spherical structure 3, and only the light from the projection port 31 needs to be irradiated on the silk-screen structure 2 for projection display. At this time, the spherical structure 3 can block other light, thereby achieving the purpose of clear and accurate projection display.

[0036] The switching structure further includes a driving member, the rotating member is connected to the driving member, and the driving member can drive the rotating member to rotate. The driving member drives the rotating member to rotate, thereby realizing the switching of the screen printing structure 2.

[0037] The refrigeration device further includes a control device 4, which can obtain the target mode of the refrigeration device, and the control device 4 is electrically connected to the switching structure. After the control device 4 obtains the target mode of the refrigeration device, it determines the state of the storage chamber 11, and then controls the driving member to work and drive the rotating member to rotate according to the state of the storage chamber 11 pre-stored in the control device 4 and the matching condition of the silk-screen structure 2, so that the corresponding silk-screen structure 2 is projected and displayed at the projection area 12, thereby correctly guiding the user to use the storage chamber 11 to store food, ensuring the accuracy of the silk-screen guidance, and improving the user experience.

[0038] As an embodiment, the silk-screen structure 2 includes a light source 21 and a silk-screen sheet 22, the light source 21 is located on the side of the silk-screen sheet 22 away from the projection area 12, and when the silk-screen structure 2 corresponds to the projection area 12, the light source 21 switches to a working state. That is, each silk-screen structure 2 has an independent light source 21. When the working state of the storage chamber 11 is determined, the silk-screen structure 2 that needs to be projected is also determined, and the driving member drives the rotating member to move, and the silk-screen structure 2 is switched to a position corresponding to the projection area 12, and the light source 21 of the silk-screen structure 2 starts to work, and the light is irradiated on the projection area 12 through the silk-screen sheet 22, so as to achieve the purpose of projection display, and at this time, the light sources 21 of other silk-screen structures 2 are all in a closed state. When the working state of the storage chamber 11 is switched, the silk-screen structure 2 also moves, and the light source 21 of the silk-screen structure 2 is also adjusted accordingly, which can not only reduce the energy consumption of the refrigeration equipment, but also avoid interference from the light sources 21 of other silk-screen structures 2 that do not need to be projected, and ensure clear and accurate projection display.

[0039] As another embodiment, the refrigeration device further includes a light source 21, the silk-screen structure 2 includes a silk-screen sheet 22, the light source 21 is located on one side of the projection area 12, and any of the silk-screen structures 2 can be moved between the light source 21 and the projection area 12. The only difference from the previous embodiment is that the number of light sources 21 is one, and the light emitted by the light source 21 can be irradiated on all the silk-screen structures 2, but only the silk-screen structure 2 corresponding to the projection area 12 can allow the light to pass through to realize the projection display at the projection area 12, and at this time, only the position of the silk-screen structure 2 needs to be adjusted, which effectively simplifies the structural complexity of the silk-screen structure 2 and reduces the production cost.

[0040] The screen printing sheet 22 is a film sheet, that is, a light-transmitting sheet material, on which a pattern is preset, so that it can be projected and displayed under the illumination of the light source 21 .

[0041] The light source 21 includes an LED lamp, and the color of the LED lamp is adjustable. By adjusting the color of the LED lamp, projection displays of different colors can be achieved. Corresponding adjustments can also be made through color. For example, dark blue fonts or patterns are used to express that the storage chamber 11 is in a deep-frozen state, blue fonts or patterns are used to express that the storage chamber 11 is in a frozen state, and light blue fonts or patterns are used to express that the storage chamber 11 is in a refrigerated state, etc., to improve the user experience.

[0042] The light source 21 includes at least two LED lamps, all of which can illuminate the silk-screen film 22 to form a projection in the projection area 12, and all of the LED lamps have different colors. Different colors of LED lamps are used to achieve projection displays of different colors. Even two or more colors of LED lamps can be mixed to further increase the variety of colors of the projection display, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0043] The refrigeration equipment includes a refrigerator.

[0044] The refrigerator also includes a drawer 5, which is arranged in the shell, and the drawer 5 forms the storage chamber 11 in the shell, and the projection area 12 is located on the side wall of the drawer 5 located at the opening of the shell. The silk-screen structure 2 can be arranged on the rear side wall of the shell in the area where the drawer 5 is located, so that it can be irradiated from the rear side of the drawer 5 to the front side of the drawer 5, so that on the side wall where the drawer 5 is located at the opening, the user can also directly observe the content of the projection display from the outside of the drawer 5 after opening the opening of the shell, so as to directly obtain the working status of the storage chamber 11, avoid frequent opening of the drawer 5 and other operations, and improve the user experience.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the spherical structure 3 is provided with an A projection port 31 and a B projection port 31, and the corresponding central angle between the A projection port 31 and the B projection port 31 is 90°. The projection of the projection area 12 on the drawer 5 by the silk-screen structure 2 located at the A projection port 31 is displayed as "fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping cabin". When the user operates the refrigeration and freezing switching command, the control device 4 receives the switching command trigger signal, and the driving member drives the spherical structure 3 to rotate 90° clockwise on the xoy plane and switch to the B projection port 31. At this time, the projection of the projection area 12 on the drawer 5 by the silk-screen structure 2 located at the B projection port 31 is displayed as "magic fresh-keeping cabin", and the silk-screen sheet 22 is illuminated by the LED light and projected onto the projection area 12 to display the pattern, completing the switching from refrigeration silk-screen printing to freezing silk-screen printing.

[0046] When the frozen silk screen is switched to the refrigerated silk screen, the user operates the switching command, the control device 4 receives the switching command trigger signal, and the driving part drives the spherical structure 3 to rotate 90° counterclockwise on the xoy plane and switch to the A projection port 31. At this time, the silk screen structure 2 located at the A projection port 31 can be projected onto the projection area 12 on the drawer 5 to display "fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping cabin". The silk screen film 22 is illuminated by 2LED lights and projected onto the projection area 12 to display the pattern, completing the switching from the frozen silk screen to the refrigerated silk screen.

[0047] When the user does not need to display the silk screen of the drawer 5, the user operates the close button, the control device 4 receives the command trigger signal, turns off the LED light, and at this time turns off the silk screen projection, and no pattern is displayed on the projection area 12 of the drawer 5 as a simple surface.

[0048] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
