Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment, and in particular to a refrigerator. Background Art
[0002] As one of the indispensable electrical appliances in modern families, the background technology of refrigerators covers many fields, including refrigeration technology, material science, electronic technology and intelligent technology.
[0003] In the prior art, some French refrigerators include a refrigerating chamber at the top and a freezing chamber at the bottom; wherein the refrigerator is provided with a door, through which the refrigerating chamber is opened or closed. A drawer is provided in the freezing chamber. In the prior art, some refrigerators are equipped with an LED light under the door, and when the drawer of the freezing chamber is opened, the LED light will illuminate downward to illuminate the inside of the drawer, making it easier for users to take and put items.
[0004] However, in the prior art, LED lamps are installed under the cabinet door, and due to their structural limitations, the LED lamps have a small lighting range and bright light. In addition, the LED lamps in the prior art are only used to illuminate the inside of the drawer, and their diversity and energy-saving effects are poor. Summary of the invention
[0005] The present application solves one of the technical problems in the related art at least to some extent.
[0006] To this end, the present application aims to provide a refrigerator that uses a bidirectional surface light source to simultaneously perform multiple functions such as decoration, position guidance, and lighting, and also achieves multifunctionality and energy-saving effects. In addition, the volume occupied by the interior of the door in this design is small, and will not affect the thermal insulation effect of the door body.
[0007] To achieve the above object, the present application provides a refrigerator, comprising: A box body, wherein a first accommodating chamber and a second accommodating chamber communicating with the outside are arranged inside; the second accommodating chamber is located below the first accommodating chamber; A drawer, which is arranged in the second accommodating cavity; A door body is arranged on the box body, and the door body is used to open or close the first accommodating cavity; when the door body closes the first accommodating cavity, the side away from the box body is the outer side; the bottom or the entire outer side of the door body is a light-transmitting layer; A light-transmitting member is arranged at the bottom of the door body, and two sides of the light-transmitting member are respectively the inside of the door body and the outside; A lighting module, comprising: An embedded box is arranged at the bottom end of the door body; A bidirectional surface light source, two sides of which are respectively a first light-emitting surface and a second light-emitting surface; the bidirectional surface light source is arranged in the embedded box; the first light-emitting surface faces the outside of the door body; A reflective portion, which is arranged in the embedded box; the reflective portion is used to reflect the light emitted by the second light-emitting surface to pass through the light-transmitting member; When the drawer is pulled out, the interior of the drawer is at least partially illuminated by the light emitted by the second light-emitting surface and transmitted through the light-transmitting member.
[0008] In the technical solution, the present application uses a bidirectional surface light source to transmit light through the door body to the outside through the first light-emitting surface, so that the door body produces a local light effect, achieving a decorative effect while making it easier for users to find the refrigerator in scenes with insufficient light and convenient for users to use. In addition, because a bidirectional surface light source is used, the light effect is uniform and not dazzling, making users feel comfortable.
[0009] At the same time, the light emitted by the second light-emitting surface is reflected by the reflective part and then irradiated to the bottom of the door body through the light-transmitting member. When the user opens the drawer to take out or put items, the light passing through the light-transmitting member can illuminate the inside of the drawer, providing lighting, which is convenient for the user to find, organize, take and put items. In addition, the light emitted by the two-way surface light source is uniform and can evenly illuminate the inside of the drawer. Compared with a single light source, the lighting effect is better and will not dazzle the user, thereby improving the user experience. In addition, the present application uses a two-way surface light source to simultaneously perform multiple functions such as decoration, position guidance, and lighting, and also achieves multifunctional and energy-saving effects. In addition, the volume occupied inside the box door in this design is relatively small, and will not affect the thermal insulation effect of the door body.
[0010] In some embodiments of the present application, the door body includes: frame; A light-transmitting plate, which is arranged on one side of the frame; An inner container is arranged on a side of the frame away from the light-transmitting plate; the inner container, the frame and the light-transmitting plate form the interior of the door body; A mounting groove is provided at the bottom of the frame; the mounting groove passes through the inside and outside of the door body; the light-transmitting member is installed in the mounting groove; The length direction of the installation groove and the light-transmitting member is the same as the width direction of the door body.
[0011] In the technical solution, when the door is closed, the width direction of the door is the width direction of the box, which is also the width direction of the drawer. The length of the light-transmitting member is the same as the width direction of the door, which can maximize the light-transmitting area and light-transmitting effect. This is to achieve the effect of evenly irradiating the drawer from top to bottom. Compared with a single point light source, when the light in the present application is irradiated into the drawer, because its light irradiates a large area from top to bottom, it reduces the situation where there are more shadows caused by being blocked by objects, and the irradiation effect is better.
[0012] In some embodiments of the present application, the distance between the side of the embedded box away from the outer side of the door body and the inner side of the door body is a, and the thickness of the door body is b; 43%≤a / b≤85% is satisfied.
[0013] In the technical solution, the distance between the side of the embedded box away from the outside of the door body and the inside of the door body is guaranteed by the ratio. That is, a is guaranteed to have a sufficient distance. During the production of the door body, foaming material will be injected into the door body. By ensuring the size of a, the foaming material injected between the embedded box and the door body has a sufficient thickness, thereby ensuring that the door body has sufficient heat preservation and insulation effects.
[0014] In some embodiments of the present application, when the door body closes the first accommodating cavity, the side facing the box body is the inner side; the embedded box is located on the side of the second light-emitting surface of the bidirectional surface light source and is provided with an inclined surface inclined from top to bottom toward the inner side of the door body; the reflecting part is a reflective plate, and the reflective plate is attached to the inclined surface.
[0015] In the technical solution, the installation of the reflector is facilitated by setting the inclined surface. During production, the reflector can be directly attached to the inclined surface without adjusting the angle, thereby improving production efficiency. In addition, the reflector can directly refract the light emitted by the second light-emitting surface, and has a simple structure and low cost.
[0016] In some embodiments of the present application, the height of the bidirectional surface light source along the longitudinal direction of the box body is not less than the width of the light-transmitting member along the thickness direction of the door body; a reference point is defined on the bidirectional surface light source, and the distance between the reference point and the bottom of the bidirectional surface light source is the same as the width of the light-transmitting member; the top of the reflector is higher than the reference point, and the bottom is lower than the bottom of the bidirectional surface light source; The light-transmitting element is completely located within the projection range of the reflector from top to bottom.
[0017] In the technical solution, the area of the two-way surface light source is ensured, and the position and angle of the reflector are determined. It is ensured that the light emitted by the second light-emitting surface can cover the reflector to the greatest extent, and the light reflected by the reflector can cover the light-transmitting member. It is ensured that the light emitted by the second light-emitting surface is irradiated downward through the light-transmitting member with the greatest efficiency, thereby ensuring sufficient lighting effect in the drawer.
[0018] In some embodiments of the present application, the embedded box is provided with a heat insulation layer facing the inner side of the door body.
[0019] In the technical solution, when the door body has poor thermal insulation effect, a thermal insulation layer can be added to improve the thermal insulation effect of the door body to avoid condensation and high power consumption.
[0020] In some embodiments of the present application, a mounting opening is provided on one side of the door body in the width direction; the mounting opening is connected to the interior of the embedded box; and a cover plate is provided on the mounting opening.
[0021] In the technical solution, the installation port can be opened and the bidirectional surface light source can be taken out or inserted individually, so as to facilitate production, maintenance and other work.
[0022] In some embodiments of the present application, an elastic buckle is provided on one side of the embedded box close to the installation opening; the elastic buckle is used to abut the bidirectional surface light source against the outer side of the door body.
[0023] In the technical solution, the elastic buckle can be manually moved, and the elastic buckle loses contact with the bidirectional surface light source, and the bidirectional surface light source can be taken out. During installation, the elastic buckle is moved, the bidirectional surface light source is inserted, and then the elastic buckle is released. The elastic buckle can not only ensure that the bidirectional surface light source fits the side of the door body away from the box body, but also block the bidirectional surface light source to prevent the bidirectional surface light source from loosening from the installation port.
[0024] Some of the embodiments of this application also include: Control panel; A sensor is disposed in the door body; The sensor and the bidirectional surface light source are both electrically connected to the control board; The control panel is configured to: when the sensor detects a detection source, control the bidirectional surface light source to turn on; when the sensor does not detect the detection source, control the bidirectional surface light source to wait for a preset time and then turn off.
[0025] In the technical solution, the sensor is set to turn on the bidirectional surface light source when a person is detected, so as to facilitate user use. The bidirectional surface light source is turned off after no person is detected for a certain period of time to achieve energy saving.
[0026] In addition, the present application also provides a refrigerator, which includes: A box body, wherein a first accommodating chamber and a second accommodating chamber communicating with the outside are arranged inside; the second accommodating chamber is located below the first accommodating chamber; A drawer, which is arranged in the second accommodating cavity; A door body, which is arranged on the box body, and is used to open or close the first accommodating cavity; when the door body closes the first accommodating cavity, the side away from the box body is the outer side; the bottom or the entire outer side of the door body is a light-transmitting layer; the bottom of the door body is provided with a light-transmitting port that connects the inside of the door body with the outside; An embedded box is arranged at the bottom end of the door body; A lighting module, comprising: A bidirectional surface light source, two sides of which are respectively a first light-emitting surface and a second light-emitting surface; the bidirectional surface light source is arranged in the embedded box; the first light-emitting surface faces the outside of the door body; A reflective portion, which is arranged in the embedded box; the reflective portion is used to reflect the light emitted by the second light-emitting surface to pass through the light-transmitting opening; When the drawer is pulled out, the interior of the drawer is at least partially illuminated by the light emitted by the second light-emitting surface and transmitted through the light-transmitting opening.
[0027] In the technical solution, the present application uses a bidirectional surface light source to transmit light through the door body to the outside through the first light-emitting surface, so that the door body produces a local light effect, achieving a decorative effect while making it easier for users to find the refrigerator in scenes with insufficient light and convenient for users to use. In addition, because a bidirectional surface light source is used, the light effect is uniform and not dazzling, making users feel comfortable.
[0028] At the same time, the light emitted by the second light-emitting surface is reflected by the reflective part and then irradiated to the bottom of the door body through the light-transmitting port. When the user opens the drawer to take out or put in items, the light passing through the light-transmitting port can illuminate the inside of the drawer, providing lighting, and making it easier for the user to find, organize, take or put in items. In addition, the light emitted by the two-way surface light source is uniform and can evenly illuminate the inside of the drawer. Compared with a single light source, the lighting effect is better and will not dazzle the user, thereby improving the user experience. In addition, the present application uses a two-way surface light source to simultaneously perform multiple functions such as decoration, position guidance, and lighting, and also achieves multifunctional and energy-saving effects. In addition, the volume occupied inside the box door in this design is relatively small, and will not affect the thermal insulation effect of the door body.

[0033] The present application is described in detail below by way of exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may also be beneficially combined in other embodiments. In the present application, the refrigerator includes a box body, a door body and a refrigeration system: the box body is usually made of metal or plastic and has certain heat preservation performance. The inside of the box body is provided with a refrigeration chamber and / or a freezer chamber. The door body is used to open and close the refrigerator. The refrigeration system includes a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator and a refrigerant, etc. The heat inside the refrigerator is transferred to the outside, thereby achieving a cooling effect.
[0034] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 14 In an illustrative embodiment of the refrigerator of the present application, the refrigerator includes: a box body 100, wherein a first accommodating cavity communicating with the outside is arranged inside the box body 100. A second accommodating cavity communicating with the outside is arranged inside the box body 100. The second accommodating cavity is located below the first accommodating cavity. The first accommodating cavity and the second accommodating cavity are used to store items. The first accommodating cavity and the second accommodating cavity realize the upper and lower occupation of the space inside the box body 100, thereby realizing the vertical arrangement of the box body 100, thereby reducing the floor space of the box body 100.
[0036] The refrigerator may further include a drawer 200, which is disposed in the second accommodating cavity. The second accommodating cavity is opened or closed by pulling out the drawer 200. Food can be placed in the drawer 200 to keep the food fresh, and the drawer 200 can be pulled out to take out or put in, which is convenient for users to use.
[0037] The refrigerator may further include a door body 300, which is disposed on the box body 100 and is used to open or close the first accommodating cavity. The door body 300 seals the first accommodating cavity to prevent food inside the first accommodating cavity from falling, and the door body 300 insulates the temperature to prevent excessive temperature changes inside the first accommodating cavity, thereby ensuring the insurance effect.
[0038] When the door body 300 closes the first accommodating cavity, the side away from the box body 100 is the outer side; the outer side of the door body 300 is a light-transmitting layer. The light-transmitting layer can project light. The bottom of the outer side of the door body 300 can be used to transmit light, and when a light source is provided inside, a light illumination effect can be achieved through the bottom of the outer side of the door body 300. It can improve the aesthetics or indicate the position of the refrigerator in a dark environment.
[0039] The refrigerator may further include a light-transmitting member 700 , which is disposed at the bottom of the door body 300 , and the two sides of the light-transmitting member 700 are the interior of the door body 300 and the outside, respectively.
[0040] The refrigerator may further include a lighting module, which may be used to provide lighting, thereby achieving light-transmitting lighting of the door body 300 and lighting of the drawer 200 below the door body 300 through the light-transmitting member 700 .
[0041] The lighting module may further include an embedded box 400, which is disposed at the bottom of the door body 300. By disposing the embedded box 400, a structure may be disposed inside the embedded box 400. The embedded box 400 may also isolate the foaming material injected during the production process of the refrigerator door body 300, thereby ensuring the installation and normal use of the structure inside the embedded box 400.
[0042] The lighting module may also include a bidirectional surface light source 500, and the two sides of the bidirectional surface light source 500 are respectively a first light-emitting surface and a second light-emitting surface. The bidirectional surface light source 500 projects light on both sides through the first light-emitting surface and the second light-emitting surface. Through the design of the bidirectional surface light source 500, it can emit light on both sides, while ensuring that the first light-emitting surface illuminates the outside of the door body. The second light-emitting surface can also emit light and illuminate the drawer 200 through the light-transmitting member 700 after refraction or diffuse reflection. That is, illumination in multiple directions is achieved through one light source, achieving diversity.
[0043] The bidirectional surface light source 500 is arranged in the embedded box 400. The embedded box 400 isolates the bidirectional surface light source 500 from the foaming layer. During the production process, the embedded box 400 prevents the foam material from covering the bidirectional surface light source 500 during foaming, thereby ensuring the stability of the structural operation and preventing the bidirectional surface light source 500 from being damaged.
[0044] The first light-emitting surface faces the outside of the door body 300. The light emitted by the first light-emitting surface can pass through the light-transmitting layer of the door body 300. The light passing through the first light-emitting surface can provide decoration for the refrigerator, and can also provide instructions for customers in scenes with poor visibility, so as to facilitate user use.
[0045] The refrigerator may further include a reflective portion, which is disposed in the embedded box 400; the reflective portion is used to reflect the light emitted from the second light-emitting surface to pass through the light-transmitting member 700. When the drawer 200 is pulled out, the interior of the drawer 200 is at least partially illuminated by the light emitted from the second light-emitting surface and transmitted from the bottom surface of the door body 300.
[0046] The present application uses a bidirectional surface light source 500 to transmit light through the door body 300 to the outside through the first light-emitting surface, so that the door body 300 produces a partial light effect, achieving a decorative effect while making it easier for users to find the refrigerator in scenes with insufficient light and to use it. In addition, because the bidirectional surface light source 500 is used, the light effect is uniform and not dazzling, making the user feel comfortable.
[0047] At the same time, the light emitted by the second light-emitting surface is reflected by the reflective part and then irradiated to the bottom of the door body 300 through the light-transmitting member 700. When the user opens the drawer 200 to take out or put in items, the light passing through the light-transmitting member 700 can illuminate the inside of the drawer 200, providing lighting, which is convenient for the user to find, organize, take out or put in items. In addition, the light emitted by the bidirectional surface light source 500 is uniform and can evenly illuminate the inside of the drawer 200. Compared with a single light source, the lighting effect is better, and the user will not feel glaring, thereby improving the user experience.
[0048] In addition, the present application adopts a bidirectional surface light source 500 to simultaneously perform multiple functions such as decoration, location guidance, and lighting, and also achieves multifunctionality and energy-saving effects. In addition, the volume of the interior of the box door occupied in this design is small, and will not affect the thermal insulation effect of the door body 300.
[0049] In the following content, the positional relationship is explained on the premise that the door body 300 closes the first accommodating cavity.
[0050] In some embodiments, the bottom of the outer side of the door body 300 is a light-transmitting layer, or the entire outer side of the door body 300 is a light-transmitting layer.
[0051] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the refrigerator in the present application may be a French refrigerator, and the drawer 200 may be slidably disposed in the second accommodating cavity; that is, the second accommodating cavity only has the drawer 200. The second accommodating cavity is opened and closed by pulling out the drawer 200. The number of drawers 200 may be multiple. Multiple drawers 200 are located together in the second accommodating cavity. Multiple drawers 200 are used to facilitate classified storage of items. Different drawers 200 may be opened as needed.
[0052] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the refrigerator in the present application may further include a door, which is used to close the second accommodating cavity. The drawer 200 is disposed in the second accommodating cavity, and the door is opened first and then the drawer 200 is pulled out.
[0053] In some embodiments, the first accommodating chamber may be a freezing chamber. The freezing chamber can freeze food to achieve long-term freshness. In addition, the first accommodating chamber may also be a refrigerating chamber. The temperature of the refrigerating chamber is lower than that of the freezing chamber, and can store fruits, vegetables and other foods that are not easy to freeze.
[0054] In some embodiments, the second accommodating chamber may be a freezing chamber. In addition, the second accommodating chamber may also be a refrigerating chamber. Manufacturers may choose whether the first accommodating chamber and the second accommodating chamber are freezing chambers or refrigerating chambers according to user needs, usage habits, and production experience.
[0055] Please refer to Figures 4 to 9In some embodiments, the door body 300 may include a frame 302. The frame 302 provides a stable support for the door body 300. The frame 302 can be directly hinged to the box body 100. The frame 302 is arranged in a rectangular shape. The conventional door body 300 is usually rectangular, so the frame 302 constructs the outline shape of the door body 300.
[0056] In some embodiments, the door body 300 may further include a light-transmitting plate 301, which is disposed on one side of the frame 302. The light-transmitting plate 301 is a light-transmitting layer of the door body 300. Light may be projected through the light-transmitting plate 301, thereby achieving transmission of light emitted by the first light-emitting surface.
[0057] The light-transmitting plate 301 is disposed on a side of the frame 302 away from the box body 100. The light-transmitting plate 301 may be made of glass, which has a good light-transmitting effect and is not easily scratched.
[0058] In addition, the material of the light-transmitting plate 301 can be an acrylic plate, which is less sensitive to temperature and is not easy to break and injure people.
[0059] Please refer to Figures 4 to 9 In some embodiments, the door body 300 may further include an inner liner 303, which is disposed on a side of the frame 302 away from the light-transmitting plate 301. The inner liner 303, the frame 302 and the light-transmitting plate 301 form the interior of the door body 300.
[0060] The frame 302 may include two vertical frames, and the length direction of the two vertical frames is vertically arranged. The frame 302 may include a top frame, which is horizontally arranged, and the two ends of the top frame are respectively connected to the tops of the two vertical frames. The top frame realizes the connection of the tops of the two vertical frames to avoid the separation of the vertical frames, and the top frame is used as the top of the door body. The connection between the top frame and the vertical frames includes but is not limited to clamping, welding, bonding, fusion, threaded connection, etc.
[0061] The frame 302 may include a bottom frame, which is parallel to the top frame, and the two ends of the bottom frame are respectively connected to the bottom ends of the two vertical frames. The bottom frame realizes the connection between the bottoms of the two vertical frames to prevent the vertical frames from being separated, and the bottom frame is used as the bottom of the door body. The connection between the bottom frame and the vertical frame includes but is not limited to clamping, welding, bonding, melting, threaded connection, etc.
[0062] The bottom frame can be arranged in a U shape with its opening facing upwards, and is used as the bottom structure of the door body 300 to strengthen the shape fixity of the bottom frame of the frame 302 and the vertical frame, thereby increasing the overall stability of the frame 302.
[0063] In some embodiments, a mounting groove 650 is provided on the door body 300. The mounting groove 650 is provided at the bottom of the frame 302.
[0064] Specifically, the mounting groove 650 is provided on the bottom frame. The provision of the mounting groove 650 facilitates the subsequent installation of the light-transmitting member 700. Since the bottom frame is a separate structure, it is more convenient to provide the mounting groove 650 on the bottom frame, which is convenient for production.
[0065] Furthermore, the installation groove 650 passes through the inside and outside of the door body 300. Through this design, the light inside the door body 300 can shine to the outside through the installation groove 650.
[0066] Please refer to Fig.11 In some embodiments, the light-transmitting member 700 is installed in the installation groove 650. The connection between the light-transmitting member 700 and the installation groove 650 includes but is not limited to snap-fit, interference fit, bonding, plug-in, and the like.
[0067] In some embodiments, a clamping groove is further provided on the edge of the mounting groove 650 close to the inside of the door body 300. A step is provided on the edge of the light-transmitting member 700 facing the inside of the door body 300. The step is clamped in the clamping groove to fix the light-transmitting member 700 and the mounting groove 650, thereby preventing the light-transmitting member 700 from falling off the mounting groove 650.
[0068] Please refer to Fig.11 In some other embodiments, the light-transmitting member 700 may be trapezoidal, and the mounting groove 650 may also be arranged in a trapezoidal shape. Alternatively, the upper surface area of the light-transmitting member 700 is larger than the lower surface area, and the upper opening area of the mounting groove 650 is larger than the lower opening area, so as to ensure that after the light-transmitting member 700 is arranged in the mounting groove 650, the light-transmitting member 700 is prevented from falling off the mounting groove 650.
[0069] Please refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the length direction of the mounting groove 650 is the same as the width direction of the door body 300. And the length direction of the light-transmitting member 700 is the same as the width direction of the door body 300. When the door body 300 is closed, the width direction of the door body 300 is the width direction of the box body 100 and also the width direction of the drawer 200.
[0070] The length of the light-transmitting member 700 is the same as the width of the door body 300, which can maximize the light-transmitting area and light-transmitting effect, so as to achieve the effect of evenly irradiating the light from top to bottom into the drawer 200. Compared with a single point light source, when the light in the present application is irradiated into the drawer 200, because the light irradiates a large area from top to bottom, the situation of being blocked by objects and causing more shadows is reduced, and the irradiation effect is better.
[0071] Please refer to Figures 10 to 16In some embodiments, the embedded box 400 is opened on one side facing the light-transmitting plate 301. That is, the bottom of the embedded box 400 is opened. Through the opening, the light emitted from the second light-emitting surface can be reflected by the reflective part and illuminate the drawer below, so as to avoid the structure of the embedded box 400 blocking the light.
[0072] In some embodiments, an extension portion is provided on the top of the embedded box 400, and the extension portion is used to fit the light-transmitting plate 301. The extension portion and the light-transmitting plate 301 are bonded to each other. During the foaming process, the light-transmitting plate 301 is tightly connected to the top of the embedded box to prevent the foam material from entering the embedded box.
[0073] In some embodiments, both ends of the embedded box 400 in the length direction are respectively connected to the frame 302. Specifically, both ends of the embedded box 400 in the length direction are respectively connected to two vertical frames. In this way, the embedded box 400 can be stably arranged in the door body 300, and its installation is convenient and fast. It is avoided to open holes and grooves on the light-transmitting plate 301, which is convenient for production.
[0074] Furthermore, the end of the length direction of the embedded box 400 is connected to the corresponding vertical frame by a buckle. When installing, the embedded box 400 is directly snapped into the frame 302 to improve the speed of installation and the stability after installation.
[0075] In some embodiments, the bottom of the embedded box 400 is provided with an overlap. The inner bottom wall of the frame 302 is provided with a vertical board. The overlap is fitted or overlapped with the vertical board. In this way, the embedded box 400 is tightly connected to the bottom of the frame 302. During the foaming process, the foam material is prevented from entering the embedded box.
[0076] In some embodiments, the mounting groove 650 is connected to the interior of the embedded box 400, so that the light in the embedded box 400 can be emitted through the mounting groove 650. The light-transmitting member 700 completely closes the mounting groove 650, ensuring that the door body 300 is sealed to avoid water vapor, condensation, etc. inside the embedded box.
[0077] In some embodiments, one end of the mounting groove 650 in the length direction may be aligned with a corresponding vertical inner wall of the door body 300 .
[0078] Furthermore, one end of the mounting groove 650 in the length direction may be flush with the inner wall of the corresponding vertical frame, thereby increasing the length of the light-transmitting member 700 as much as possible, improving the range and effect of light transmission, and thereby improving the lighting effect inside the drawer 200.
[0079] In some embodiments, the refrigerator has a hinge assembly. The door body 300 is connected to the box body 100 through the hinge assembly, so that the door body 300 can rotate relative to the box body 100 to open or close the first accommodating cavity. The hinge assembly is a common structural component in refrigerators and is not described in detail here.
[0080] In some embodiments, one end of the mounting groove 650 close to the hinge assembly is aligned with the edge of the hinge assembly, thereby increasing the length of the light-transmitting member 700 as much as possible.
[0081] In some embodiments, the bottom of the door body 300 is recessed upward to form a handle. The handle facilitates manual opening of the door body 300. Specifically, the handle is formed on the base frame. The base frame is a separate structural member, which is convenient for integrated production.
[0082] Furthermore, the mounting groove 650 is provided on the inner top wall of the handle, thereby partially hiding the light-transmitting member 700, improving the aesthetics and user experience.
[0083] The length of the mounting groove 650 is the same as the length of the handle, so as to increase the length of the light-transmitting member 700 as much as possible.
[0084] Please refer to Fig.10 and Fig.11 In some embodiments, the bidirectional surface light source 500 is attached to the side of the light-transmitting plate 301 facing the box 100, thereby improving the light transmission effect. The light-transmitting plate 301 may be provided with a pattern, and the light emitted by the bidirectional surface light source 500 may illuminate the pattern, thereby improving the recognition and aesthetics of the product.
[0085] In some embodiments, when the door body 300 closes the first accommodating cavity, the side facing the box body 100 is the inner side; the embedded box 400 is located on one side of the second light-emitting surface of the bidirectional surface light source 500 and is provided with an inclined surface 401 inclined from top to bottom toward the inner side of the door body 300.
[0086] Please refer to Figures 10 to 16 In some embodiments, the reflective portion is a reflector 600, and the reflector 600 is attached to the inclined surface 401. The installation of the reflector 600 is facilitated by the setting of the inclined surface 401. During production, the reflector 600 can be directly attached to the inclined surface 401 without adjusting the angle, thereby improving production efficiency. In addition, the reflector 600 can directly refract the light emitted by the second light-emitting surface, and has a simple structure and low cost.
[0087] In other embodiments, the embedded box 400 may not be provided with the inclined surface 401. The reflector 600 is directly disposed in the embedded box 400.
[0088] In some embodiments, the height of the bidirectional surface light source 500 along the longitudinal direction of the box body 100 is not less than the width of the light-transmitting member 700 along the thickness direction of the door body 300. This ensures that the area of the light-transmitting member 700 is smaller than the area of the second light-emitting surface, and ensures that the light-transmitting member 700 can be fully covered by the light refracted by the reflective part, thereby increasing the light output.
[0089] Please refer to Fig.11In some embodiments, a reference point is defined on the bidirectional surface light source 500. The reference point can be located on the first light-emitting surface or the second light-emitting surface. The distance between the reference point and the bottom of the bidirectional surface light source 500 is the same as the width of the light-transmitting member 700. The width of the light-transmitting member 700 is its width along the thickness direction of the door body 300. Let the shortest distance between the reference point and the bottom of the bidirectional surface light source 500 be X. Let the width of the light-transmitting member 700 be Y, then X=Y.
[0090] The top of the reflector 600 is higher than the reference point, and the bottom of the reflector 600 is lower than the bottom of the bidirectional surface light source 500 .
[0091] That is, the projection of the bidirectional surface light source 500 onto the reflector 600 can completely cover the reflector 600. And the projection of the reflector 600 from top to bottom can completely cover the light-transmitting element 700.
[0092] The area of the bidirectional surface light source 500 is ensured, and the position and angle of the reflector 600 are determined, so as to ensure that the light emitted by the second light-emitting surface can cover the reflector 600 to the maximum extent, and the light reflected by the reflector 600 can cover the light-transmitting member 700.
[0093] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting member 700 is completely located within the projection range of the reflector 600 from top to bottom, so as to ensure that the light emitted from the second light-emitting surface is radiated downward through the light-transmitting member 700 with maximum efficiency, thereby ensuring sufficient lighting effect in the drawer 200.
[0094] That is, the projection of the reflective plate 600 from top to bottom completely covers the light-transmitting member 700. It is worth noting that the projection of the reflective plate 600 from top to bottom can completely overlap with the shape of the light-transmitting member 700.
[0095] In some embodiments, the reflector 600 can be a mirror with a smooth surface. When the light emitted by the second light-emitting surface is reflected by the smooth surface of the reflector 600, mirror reflection occurs. During the mirror reflection process, the binding degree of the light remains unchanged, and its brightness is maintained, making the reflected light more concentrated and intense, and its reflective effect is good.
[0096] In addition, the reflector 600 can also be a reflective acrylic plate, which has high structural strength and is not easy to break or damage. In addition, the reflector 600 can also be a silver-plated plate structure.
[0097] It is worth noting that any plate-shaped object that can reflect light can be used as the reflector 600 .
[0098] In some embodiments, the reflective portion may be a reflective layer on the inner wall of the embedded box 400. The reflective layer reflects light. No separate structure is required, which improves installation efficiency. The reflective layer may be formed by silver plating inside the embedded box 400.
[0099] In some embodiments, the area on the liner 303 for cold air contact is a condensation area, and the shortest distance between the embedded box 400 and the condensation area is not less than 30 mm. The interior of the door body 300 needs to be filled with a foaming material to achieve thermal insulation. Through this size design, it is ensured that there is enough distance between the embedded box 400 and the condensation area to inject the foaming material, thereby ensuring the thermal insulation effect. While ensuring the overall thermal insulation effect of the door body 300, it also avoids the situation where the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the embedded box 400 is too large, and avoids the generation of water vapor and condensation in the embedded box 400.
[0100] Please refer to Fig.11 In some embodiments, the distance between the side of the embedded box 400 away from the outside of the door body 300 and the inside of the door body 300 is a, and the thickness of the door body 300 is b. Ensure that a>30 mm. This design ensures that a sufficient amount of foaming layer can be inserted between the embedded box 400 and the inside of the door body 300, thereby avoiding condensation and other phenomena on the door body 300 and ensuring the thermal insulation effect of the door body 300.
[0101] In some embodiments, a heat insulating layer may be provided on one side of the embedded box 400 facing the inner liner 303. When the door body 300 has poor heat insulation effect, a heat insulating layer may be added to improve the heat insulation effect of the door body 300 and avoid condensation and high power consumption.
[0102] The material of the heat insulation layer includes but is not limited to foam, sponge, expanded polystyrene, extruded polystyrene, rock wool, and rubber powder polystyrene particles. The above materials are commonly used heat insulation materials with good heat insulation effect and low cost.
[0103] It is worth noting that when the embedded box 400 is attached to the inner liner 303 with a heat insulation layer, the distance a can be less than 30 mm.
[0104] In some embodiments, ba represents the thickness of the embedded box 400. 40≥ba. When the door body 300 is 70 mm thick, the embedded box 400 is 40 mm thick, which can retain a 30 mm thick foam layer thickness to ensure the heat insulation effect. Among them, the 70 mm thick door body 300 is the maximum thickness of a household refrigerator under normal circumstances.
[0105] However, it is worth noting that if the thickness of the door body 300 is greater than 70 mm, the thickness of ba can be greater than 40 mm.
[0106] In some embodiments, ba≥12 mm. If ba<12 mm, the thickness of the embedded box 400 is too small, and it is difficult to install it in the door body 300, and the bidirectional surface light source 500 and the reflective part are also difficult to install in the embedded box 400.
[0107] In some embodiments, a / b≥43% is satisfied. When the thickness of the door body 300 is greater than 70 mm, under this ratio, the distance between the side of the embedded box 400 facing the cabinet 100 and the side of the door body 300 facing the door body 300 is ensured to be thick enough to inject a sufficient amount of foaming material. In this way, the thickness of the foaming layer in the door 300 is ensured, and the door body 300 has a good insulation effect to meet the use requirements of the refrigerator.
[0108] Furthermore, the distance between the side of the embedded box 400 facing the box body 100 and the inner container 303 is a.
[0109] If a / b is less than 43%, the distance between the side of the embedded box 400 facing the cabinet 100 and the side of the door 300 facing the door 300 is too small, and the thickness of the foamed material after filling is too small, which will lead to poor insulation effect, resulting in a large temperature difference between the two sides of the door 300, so that condensation water is generated on the side away from the cabinet 100. It may also cause the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the embedded box 400 to be too large, resulting in water vapor and condensation water in the embedded box 400, which in turn damages the bidirectional surface light source 500 or affects its life.
[0110] In some embodiments, a / b≤85%. When the thickness of the door body 300 is greater than 70 mm, under this ratio, the distance between the side of the embedded box 400 facing the box body 100 and the side of the door body 300 facing the door body 300 is prevented from being too large, ensuring that there is enough space to set the embedded box 400. And ensure that there is enough space and angle in the embedded box 400 to set the reflective part and the two-way surface light source 500.
[0111] If a / b>85%, the space reserved inside the embedded box 400 is too small, which makes installation inconvenient. It may also result in a lack of space for installing the reflector 600, or poor reflective effect after installation.
[0112] In the above, the door body 300 needs to be filled with foam material to achieve thermal insulation. Through this design, it is ensured that there is enough distance between the embedded box 400 and the condensation area to inject the foam material, so as to ensure the thermal insulation effect. While ensuring the overall thermal insulation effect of the door body 300, it also avoids the situation where the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the embedded box 400 is too large, and avoids the generation of water vapor and condensation in the embedded box 400.
[0113] In addition, in the above content, the thick bottom of the door body 300, that is, the distance between the side of the inner liner 303 away from the light-transmitting plate 302 and the side of the light-transmitting plate 302 away from the inner liner 303.
[0114] In some embodiments, for a refrigerator with a door body 300 having a thickness of 45 mm, 74% ≥ a / b and / or a / b ≥ 66% are satisfied. That is, the thickness of the embedded box 400 is between 12 mm and 15 mm. The distance a is between 30 mm and 33 mm. This ensures that there is enough space inside the door body 300 to insert the foaming layer.
[0115] In some embodiments, for a refrigerator with a door body 300 having a thickness of 50 mm, 76% ≥ a / b and / or a / b ≥ 60% are satisfied. That is, the thickness of the embedded box 400 is between 12 mm and 20 mm. The distance a is between 30 mm and 38 mm. This ensures that there is enough space inside the door body 300 to insert the foaming layer.
[0116] In some embodiments, for a refrigerator with a door body 300 having a thickness of 65 mm, 77% ≥ a / b and / or a / b ≥ 46% are satisfied. That is, the thickness of the embedded box 400 is between 15 mm and 35 mm, and the distance a is between 30 mm and 50 mm. This ensures that there is enough space inside the door body 300 to insert the foaming layer.
[0117] In some embodiments, for a refrigerator with a door body 300 having a thickness of 70 mm, 78% ≥ a / b and / or a / b ≥ 43% are satisfied. That is, the thickness of the embedded box 400 is between 15 mm and 40 mm, and the distance a is between 30 mm and 55 mm. This ensures that there is enough space inside the door body 300 to insert the foaming layer.
[0118] In summary: for refrigerators with a door body 300 thickness of 45 mm to 50 mm, 76 ≥ a / b ≥ 60% is satisfied. For refrigerators with a door body 300 thickness of 65 mm to 75 mm, 78% ≥ a / b ≥ 43% is satisfied.
[0119] In some embodiments, a mounting opening 900 is provided on one side of the door body 300 in the width direction; the mounting opening 900 is connected to the interior of the embedded box 400. The mounting opening 900 can be opened to take out or insert the bidirectional surface light source 500 separately, so as to facilitate production, maintenance and the like.
[0120] In some embodiments, the embedded box 400 is opened at one end in the width direction of the door body 300. The installation opening 900 is opened at the corresponding opening of the embedded box 400.
[0121] The mounting opening 900 can be provided on the vertical frame, so that the user can conveniently disassemble and assemble the bidirectional surface light source 500 from the side through the mounting opening 900. The mounting opening 900 can be directly provided during the production of the vertical frame, so as to facilitate production.
[0122] It is worth noting that one of the vertical frames can be shorter, and the gap between it and the base frame can be used as the installation opening 900. It is more convenient for production and manufacturing.
[0123] In addition, when the base frame is U-shaped, the installation opening 900 can be opened on a vertical side of the base frame.
[0124] In some embodiments, a cover plate 110 is provided on the installation opening 900. The cover plate 110 covers the installation opening 900 to prevent the internal parts of the embedded box 400 from falling off, and also to prevent light leakage, and at the same time improve the aesthetics.
[0125] In some embodiments, if there are two doors 300 of the refrigerator, and they are arranged to be opened in opposite directions, the installation opening 900 is arranged on one side of the door 300 in the width direction of the door 300 facing the other door 300. When both door 300 close the first receiving cavity of the refrigerator, the two first installation openings 900 and the cover plate 110 are opposite to each other, thereby reducing exposure and improving aesthetics.
[0126] In some embodiments, an elastic buckle 800 is disposed on one side of the embedded box 400 near the installation opening 900 . One end of the elastic buckle 800 is connected to the inner side wall of the embedded box 400 , and the other end extends toward the light-transmitting plate 302 .
[0127] Further, the end of the elastic buckle 800 away from the embedded box 400 extends in the direction of the light-transmitting plate 302, and then extends in the direction away from the light-transmitting plate 302. The portion of the elastic buckle 800 closest to the light-transmitting plate 302 is used to abut the bidirectional surface light source 500. The end of the elastic buckle 800 is located between the embedded box 400 and the light-transmitting plate 302, so as to facilitate manual manipulation.
[0128] In some embodiments, the elastic buckle 800 is used to abut the two-way surface light source 500 against the outside of the door body 300. The elastic buckle 800 can be manually bent, and the elastic buckle 800 loses the abutment against the two-way surface light source 500, and the two-way surface light source 500 can be taken out. During installation, the elastic buckle 800 is bent and the two-way surface light source 500 is inserted and then the elastic buckle 800 is released. The elastic buckle 800 can not only ensure that the two-way surface light source 500 fits the side of the door body 300 away from the box body 100, but also block the two-way surface light source 500 to prevent the two-way surface from loosening from the installation port 900.
[0129] In some embodiments, the elastic buckle 800 is disposed on a side of the embedded box 400 away from the box body 100, and the elastic buckle 800 is close to the installation port 900. The elastic buckle 800 is inclined toward the side away from the box body 100. When the bidirectional surface light source 500 is attached to the light-transmitting plate 301 of the door body 300, the elastic buckle 800 abuts against the second light-emitting surface of the bidirectional surface light source 500.
[0130] In some embodiments, the refrigerator further includes a control panel and a sensor 120, and the control panel can control the bidirectional surface light source 500. The sensor 120 can be arranged in the door body 300. The sensor 120 is used to detect the front of the refrigerator. It can be used to detect a human body. The sensor 120 and the bidirectional surface light source 500 are both electrically connected to the control panel. The bidirectional surface light source 500 is controlled by the signal detected by the sensor 120.
[0131] Specifically, the sensor 120 may be a microwave sensor 120, which has a better and more accurate detection effect.
[0132] In some embodiments, the control panel is configured to: when the sensor 120 detects the detection source, control the bidirectional surface light source 500 to turn on; when the sensor 120 does not detect the detection source, control the bidirectional surface light source 500 to wait for a preset time and then turn off.
[0133] By setting the sensor 120, it is convenient to turn on the bidirectional surface light source 500 when a person is detected, so as to facilitate the use of the user. After no person is detected for a certain period of time, the bidirectional surface light source 500 is turned off to achieve the effect of energy saving.
[0134] Among them, the detection source can be a person.
[0135] Please refer to all the drawings. In addition, the present application also provides a refrigerator, which includes a box body 100. A first accommodating cavity communicating with the outside is provided inside the box body 100. The first accommodating cavity is used to store items. A second accommodating cavity communicating with the outside is provided inside the box body 100. The first accommodating cavity is used to store items.
[0136] The second accommodating cavity is located below the first accommodating cavity. The space in the box body 100 is occupied up and down, so that the box body 100 is arranged vertically, thereby reducing the floor space of the box body 100.
[0137] The refrigerator may further include a drawer 200, which is disposed in the second accommodating cavity. The second accommodating cavity is opened or closed by pulling out the drawer 200. Food can be placed in the drawer 200 to keep the food fresh, and the drawer 200 can be pulled out to take out or put in, which is convenient for users to use.
[0138] The refrigerator may further include a door body 300, which is disposed on the box body 100 and is used to open or close the first accommodating cavity. The door body 300 seals the first accommodating cavity to prevent food inside the first accommodating cavity from falling, and the door body 300 insulates the temperature to prevent excessive temperature changes inside the first accommodating cavity, thereby ensuring the insurance effect.
[0139] When the door body 300 closes the first accommodating cavity, the side away from the box body 100 is the outer side; the bottom of the outer side of the door body 300 is a light-transmitting layer. The light-transmitting layer can project light. The bottom of the outer side of the door body 300 can be used to transmit light, and when a light source is provided inside, a light illumination effect can be achieved through the bottom of the outer side of the door body 300. The aesthetics can be improved or the position of the refrigerator can be indicated in a dark environment.
[0140] The outer side of the door body 300 is entirely a light-transmitting layer, which has a wide range of light-transmitting effects, and structures such as panels can also be arranged inside the door body according to requirements.
[0141] The bottom of the door body 300 is provided with a light-transmitting opening for connecting the interior of the door body 300 with the outside.
[0142] The refrigerator may further include a lighting module, which may be used to provide lighting, thereby achieving light-transmitting lighting of the door body 300 and lighting of the drawer 200 below the door body 300 through the light-transmitting opening.
[0143] The lighting module may further include an embedded box 400, which is disposed at the bottom of the door body 300. By disposing the embedded box 400, a structure may be disposed inside the embedded box 400. The embedded box 400 may also isolate the foaming material injected during the production process of the refrigerator door body 300, thereby ensuring the installation and normal use of the structure inside the embedded box 400.
[0144] The lighting module may also include a bidirectional surface light source 500, and the two sides of the bidirectional surface light source 500 are respectively a first light-emitting surface and a second light-emitting surface. The bidirectional surface light source 500 projects light on both sides through the first light-emitting surface and the second light-emitting surface. Through the design of the bidirectional surface light source 500, it can emit light on both sides, while ensuring that the first light-emitting surface illuminates the outside of the door body. The second light-emitting surface can also emit light and illuminate the drawer 200 through the light-transmitting port after refraction or diffuse reflection. That is, illumination in multiple directions is achieved through one light source, achieving diversity.
[0145] When the drawer 200 is pulled out, the interior of the drawer 200 is at least partially illuminated by the light emitted by the second light-emitting surface and transmitted from the bottom surface of the door body 300 .
[0146] The present application uses a bidirectional surface light source 500 to transmit light through the door body 300 to the outside through the first light-emitting surface, so that the door body 300 produces a partial light effect, achieving a decorative effect while making it easier for users to find the refrigerator in scenes with insufficient light and to use it. In addition, because the bidirectional surface light source 500 is used, the light effect is uniform and not dazzling, making the user feel comfortable.
[0147] At the same time, the light emitted by the second light-emitting surface is reflected by the reflective part and then irradiated to the bottom of the door body 300 through the light-transmitting port. When the user opens the drawer 200 to take out or put in items, the light passing through the light-transmitting port can illuminate the inside of the drawer 200, providing lighting, which is convenient for the user to find, organize, take out or put in items. In addition, the light emitted by the bidirectional surface light source 500 is uniform and can evenly illuminate the inside of the drawer 200. Compared with a single light source, the lighting effect is better, and the user will not feel glaring, thereby improving the user experience.
[0148] In addition, the present application adopts a bidirectional surface light source 500 to simultaneously perform multiple functions such as decoration, location guidance, and lighting, and also achieves multifunctionality and energy-saving effects. In addition, the volume of the interior of the box door occupied in this design is small, and will not affect the thermal insulation effect of the door body 300.
[0149] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the refrigerator in the present application may be a French refrigerator, that is, the second accommodating cavity only has a drawer 200. The second accommodating cavity is opened and closed by pulling out the drawer 200. The refrigerator in the present application may also include a door, which is used to close the second accommodating cavity. The drawer 200 is arranged in the second accommodating cavity, and the door is opened first and then the drawer 200 is pulled out.
[0150] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and cannot be understood as limitations on the present application. Ordinary technicians in this field can change, modify, replace and modify the above embodiments within the scope of the present application.
