DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0057] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0058] like Figure 2-Figure 8 As shown, the present invention provides a charging device 300, including a charging chamber 1, an adjustment module, a charging socket 2, and a socket sealing cover 3; wherein:

[0059] The charging chamber 1 is arranged in the inner cavity of the refrigerator so as to utilize the coldness of the refrigerator to control the temperature during charging and power supply; it should be noted that the heat preservation shell and the door of the charging chamber 1 can both adopt the shell and door of the refrigerator itself;

[0060] The charging socket 2 is arranged in the charging chamber 1 for charging electronic products;

[0061] The socket sealing cover 3 is an openable and closable cover on the outside of the charging socket 2, so as to open the charging socket 2 to connect with the charging chamber 1, or close the charging socket 2 to isolate it from the charging chamber 1; the socket sealing cover 3 can isolate the charging socket 2, so that when not charging, the charging chamber 1 can be used as a refrigerating chamber, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the inner cavity of the refrigerator and preventing space waste when not charging;

[0062] The regulating module is arranged in the charging chamber 1, and can regulate the temperature of the charging device during charging, or cool the charging chamber 1 to a refrigeration temperature for refrigerating food when not charging.

[0063] The charging device 300 of the present invention is provided with a relatively closed charging chamber 1 in the refrigerator. When it is necessary to charge and supply power to electronic products, it is set to the electronic equipment charging and power supply mode, and special adjustment and control of temperature and humidity are performed. When this function is not used, the charging chamber 1 can also be set to the ordinary refrigeration mode to meet the daily functions of the refrigerator, improve the utilization rate of the refrigerator, and solve the technical problem that the temperature of the battery, socket, etc. is high and cannot maintain a more suitable temperature during the charging and power supply process of electronic products.

[0064] As an optional implementation of the present invention, in order to increase the application range of the charging device and improve the utilization rate, in this embodiment, Figure 8 As shown, there are several charging sockets 2, including at least one 220V two-socket, at least one 220V three-socket and at least one USB socket, which are used to charge and supply power to electronic products. The power is turned on in the electronic device charging power supply mode and the power is turned off in the normal refrigeration mode.

[0065] It should be noted that the power supply circuit and circuit layout of the charging socket 2 and other electrical units in the present invention can be implemented by products in the prior art. The present invention uses a refrigerator to set up the charging chamber 1, and uses the coldness of the refrigerator to adjust the charging temperature during charging, and can cool the charging chamber to a refrigeration temperature when not charging, so that the charging chamber 1 can be used for refrigerating food, avoiding the problem of low utilization and space waste due to reducing the storage space of the refrigerator due to the setting of the charging chamber 1.

[0066] In this embodiment, if Figure 8 As shown, the spigot sealing cover 3 includes a cubic cover structure, a rotating shaft, a sealing strip and a driving motor; wherein:

[0067] The rotating shaft is rotatably arranged on the rear side wall of the charging chamber 1;

[0068] The driving motor is drivingly connected to the rotating shaft;

[0069] The top of the cover structure is connected to the rotating shaft, and can be turned 90 degrees counterclockwise to open the charging socket 2 or turned 90 degrees clockwise to close the charging socket 2 under the drive of the rotating shaft; that is, when charging is needed, the driving motor can be controlled to rotate to turn the cover structure 90 degrees, and then the charging socket 2 is exposed, which is convenient for charging electronic devices. When charging is completed and it needs to be used as a cold storage room, the driving motor can be controlled to drive the cover structure to turn 90 degrees in the opposite direction, so that the cover structure is sealed on the rear wall of the charging chamber 1, and the charging socket 2 is covered, which not only prevents the charging socket 2 from being contaminated and blocked by refrigerated food, but also protects the safety of the charging socket 2.

[0070] The sealing strips are arranged at the four sides where the box structure contacts the rear wall of the charging chamber 1. The sealing strips are arranged to improve the sealing performance of the charging socket 2 after it is covered.

[0071] The socket sealing cover 3 is opened in the electronic device charging power supply mode and closed in the normal refrigeration mode to seal the charging interface to prevent contact with debris and entry of moisture.

[0072] As a further improvement of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the regulating module includes a temperature regulating unit 4, a humidity regulating unit 5, and a temperature and humidity monitoring unit 6; wherein:

[0073] The temperature and humidity monitoring unit 6 is arranged on the top of the charging chamber 1 to obtain the temperature and humidity parameters in the charging chamber 1; wherein the temperature and humidity monitoring unit 6 includes a temperature sensor 61, a humidity sensor 62 and a buzzer. In the charging power supply mode of the electronic device, temperature and humidity detection and monitoring are performed. If the temperature and humidity are too high and exceed the threshold, the buzzer will sound an alarm. In the normal refrigeration mode, the temperature and humidity monitoring parameters of the module are adjusted to work in accordance with other areas of the refrigeration chamber 200. It also includes a socket current monitoring module: it is mainly composed of a fuse and a buzzer. When the socket current is overloaded, the fuse automatically blows, disconnects the socket current, and the buzzer sounds an alarm.

[0074] The temperature regulating unit 4 is arranged on one side of the charging chamber 1 to control the temperature of the charging chamber 1 when charging or to control the temperature reduction and refrigeration when not charging;

[0075] The humidity regulating unit 5 is arranged on the other side of the charging chamber 1 to regulate the humidity of the charging chamber 1. It should be noted that the humidity regulating unit 5 is used for charging power supply to perform humidity regulation during charging, and no humidity regulation is required when used as a conventional cold storage chamber.

[0076] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the humidity adjustment unit 5 includes a frame 51, a rotating plate 52, a desiccant, and a turning assembly; wherein:

[0077] The frame 51 is installed at one side of the charging chamber 1. It should be noted that, considering that the humidity conditioning unit 5 is not in use when used as a refrigerating chamber, the desiccant side thereof should not be in contact with the refrigerated food placed in the charging chamber 1. Therefore, in this embodiment, a reversible structure is used, such as a reversible assembly.

[0078] There are a plurality of rotating plates 52, which are arranged in the frame 51 at intervals, and the rotating plates 52 can rotate relative to the frame 51, and when all the rotating plates 52 are rotated to be connected end to end, the left and right sides of the rotating plates 52 form independent spaces from each other;

[0079] The desiccant is arranged on one side of the rotating plate 52;

[0080] The flip assembly is disposed in the frame 51 and connected to all the rotating plates 52 , and can drive the rotating plates 52 to flip 180 degrees.

[0081] It should be noted that Figure 4 The distance between the middle frame 51 and the edge of the charging chamber 1 is only for illustration. The actual frame 51 should be set close to the edge of the charging chamber 1, and the specifications of the rotating plate 52 should take into account the thickness of the frame 51 and the distance between the frame 51 and the edge of the charging chamber 1. The basic requirement is to ensure that the rotating plate 52 can rotate smoothly. A flip plate with a desiccant on one side is placed at a certain distance from the edge of the charging chamber 1. The overall flip plate can achieve relative separation of the air on both sides of the flip plate. The overall flip plate is composed of multiple narrow width rotating plates to reduce the space required for flipping.

[0082] In order to minimize the desiccant from absorbing too much moisture from the stored food when the rotating plate 52 is turned over to the side where the desiccant faces the edge of the charging chamber 1, sealing strips are provided on both sides of the rotating plate 52.

[0083] It should be noted that the specifications of the frame 51 are compatible with those of the charging chamber 1. When the frame 51 is installed in the charging chamber 1, the frame 51 can spatially divide the charging chamber 1 into two parts. By rotating the rotating plate 52, one side of the desiccant is directed toward the middle of the charging chamber 1 or toward the edge of the charging chamber 1.

[0084] Moreover, the flip assembly structure can adopt the structure in the prior art, for example, the motor drives the gear, and a transmission tooth is set at one end of all the rotating plates, the transmission teeth are meshed in sequence, and the gear of the motor is meshed with the first transmission tooth; of course, the telescopic cylinder, the motor rack gear and other structures can also be adopted. Considering that there are a large number of structures that can be realized in this part of the prior art, the present invention will not be described in detail.

[0085] As another optional embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the humidity adjustment unit 5 includes a rotating baffle 53, a flip assembly, and a desiccant; wherein:

[0086] The middle part of the rotating baffle 53 is rotatably arranged in the charging chamber 1 through a flip assembly;

[0087] The specifications of the rotating baffle 53 are adapted to the specifications of the charging chamber 1, so that independent spaces are formed on both sides of the rotating baffle 53;

[0088] The desiccant is arranged on one side of the rotating baffle 53 .

[0089] It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, a plurality of rotating plates 52 are provided in the frame 51, so that the direction of the desiccant surface can be adjusted by flipping the rotating plates 52. This structure can make the humidity adjustment unit 5 close to the edge of the charging chamber 1, and can improve the utilization rate of the charging chamber 1. However, the structure is complex, the components are numerous, the transmission structure is complex, and the cost is high.

[0090] To this end, the present invention provides a second embodiment, in which only one rotating baffle 53 is provided, and the rotating baffle 53 rotates through a rotating shaft in the middle. At this time, the depth of the rotating baffle 53 (corresponding to the distance from the door to the rear wall of the charging chamber 1) is taken into consideration, and in order to ensure the smooth rotation of the rotating baffle 53, the rotating baffle 53 needs to have a sufficient distance from the edge of the charging chamber 1. Although this embodiment has a simple structure and few components, there is a problem of waste in the inner cavity of the charging chamber 1.

[0091] It should be noted here that in order to make full use of the space and increase the service life of the desiccant, in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, that is, Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the embodiment, a cover is provided on one side of the rotating plate 52 and the rotating baffle 53 where the desiccant is provided, so as to cover the desiccant when not in use.

[0092] The specific composition of the humidity regulating unit 5 depends on the situation. In the embodiment, it can be composed of a group of drying plates with a desiccant attached to one side. The drying plate can rotate around the rotation axis, and the rotation angle is controlled by the motor to achieve flipping of both sides. The drying function can be turned on by flipping out the side with the desiccant attached. The humidity regulating unit 5 is turned on in the electronic device charging power supply mode to keep the charging chamber 1 dry. In the normal refrigeration mode, the humidity adjustment parameters of the module are adjusted to work in accordance with other areas of the refrigeration chamber 200.

[0093] As a further improvement of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, the temperature adjustment unit 4 includes a heating wire 41, a heat conducting plate 42, a cooling air inlet valve 43 and a cooling air outlet valve 44; wherein:

[0094] The heating wire 41 is connected to the heat conducting plate 42;

[0095] The heat conducting plate 42 is arranged on the inner wall of the charging chamber 1 to adjust the temperature of the charging chamber 1 during charging;

[0096] The refrigeration air inlet valve 43 and the refrigeration air outlet valve 44 are arranged on the side wall of the charging chamber 1 and are connected to the refrigeration unit of the refrigerator to utilize the coldness of the refrigerator for charging temperature adjustment or non-charging refrigeration and cooling.

[0097] The temperature adjustment unit 4 is mainly composed of a refrigeration air inlet valve and a refrigeration air outlet valve connected to the refrigerator's own refrigeration system, a heating wire 41 and a heat conducting plate 42. In the electronic device charging power supply mode, if the temperature is high, the ventilation valve is opened for cooling, and if the temperature is low, the heating wire 41 is powered on for heating to adjust the temperature within the set charging power supply range. In the normal refrigeration mode, the temperature adjustment parameters of the module are adjusted to work in accordance with other areas of the refrigeration chamber 200.

[0098] It should be noted that the specific composition of the main modules in the charging chamber 1 of the present invention can be changed according to actual conditions.

[0099] like Figure 3 As shown, a refrigerator provided by the present invention includes a body 100, a refrigerating chamber 200, a charging device 300, a freezing chamber 400, and a door 500; wherein:

[0100] The refrigerating chamber 200 and the charging device 300 are sequentially arranged on the upper part of the machine body 100;

[0101] The freezing chamber 400 is arranged at the lower part of the body 100;

[0102] There are three doors 500, which are respectively arranged at the positions of the refrigerating chamber 200, the charging device 300 and the freezing chamber 400. The door 500 corresponding to the charging device 300 is an independent refrigerator door structure of the charging chamber 1, and the charging chamber 1 is sealed when closed.

[0103] The charging device of the present invention has two functional modes, an electronic device charging and power supply mode and a normal refrigeration mode. In the electronic device charging and power supply mode, the charging chamber 1 is closed to maintain a set temperature suitable for charging and power supply, while keeping it dry. If an abnormality occurs, such as when the temperature or humidity exceeds a certain threshold, an alarm is issued, and when the current at the charging and power supply socket is abnormally too large, the socket is powered off and an alarm is processed. In the normal refrigeration mode, the charging interface of the charging chamber 1 is covered with a socket sealing cover 3, and the corresponding parameters of the independent temperature and humidity monitoring and adjustment module are adjusted to work in accordance with other areas of the refrigeration chamber 200.

[0104] The refrigerator of the present invention provides a charging chamber 1 in the refrigerator, in which electronic products can be charged or powered, and temperature and humidity can be easily adjusted and controlled. At the same time, by adding a common refrigeration mode, conventional refrigerator needs can be met and refrigerator utilization can be improved.

[0105] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a control method for controlling a charging device 300, and the control method includes the following steps:

[0106] Step S1, setting a parameter group of the charging chamber 1 in the electronic device charging power supply mode; wherein the parameter group includes a temperature range parameter, a humidity range parameter, and an alarm threshold parameter; the temperature range is recommended to be set at about 10 to 30 degrees, and the humidity is as low as possible;

[0107] Step S2, start selecting the function of the charging chamber 1;

[0108] Step S3, when the function mode is selected as the electronic device charging power supply mode, the control socket sealing cover 3 is opened, and the control adjustment module is operated to keep the temperature and humidity in the charging chamber 1 within the set parameter group range;

[0109] Step S4, when the function mode is selected as the refrigeration mode, the control socket sealing cover 3 is kept closed, and the control adjustment module is operated to use the coldness of the refrigerator to cool the charging chamber 1 to the refrigeration temperature to refrigerate the food.
