[0024] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of a refrigeration device of the present application; Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the exploded structure of an embodiment of the refrigeration equipment of the present application.

[0025] An embodiment of the present application provides a refrigeration device 10. The refrigeration device 10 includes a box body 11, a door body 12, an ice taking mechanism 13, a locking mechanism 14 and a controller (not shown in the figure). The door body 12 includes a first door body 121 and a second door body 122, and the first door body 121 is located above the second door body 122. The ice taking mechanism 13 is arranged on the door body 12 and extends from the second door body 122 toward the first door body 121. The locking mechanism 14 is arranged on the box body 11. The locking mechanism 14 includes a first locking member 141 and a second locking member 142. The first locking member 141 is arranged at the joint of the box body 11 and the first door body 121, and the second locking member 142 is arranged at the joint of the box body 11 and the second door body 122. The controller is arranged in the box body 11. The controller is used to control the first locking member 141 to lock the first door body 121 and the second locking member 142 to lock the second door body 122 when the ice taking mechanism 13 is in the open state.

[0026] In order to improve convenience, ice can be taken at a suitable height, such as Figure 1As shown, the ice taking mechanism 13 in the present application is arranged on the first door body 121 to facilitate users to take ice. However, ice cubes are often transferred from the refrigerator or freezer of the refrigeration equipment 10 to the first door body 121 at a certain speed. At this time, if the user opens the first door body 121 or the second door body 122, the ice cubes are at a high speed, which is prone to injury and affects the user experience. Therefore, it can be seen from the above structure that in the present application, ice is discharged through the ice taking mechanism 13, and when the ice taking mechanism 13 is in the open state, the controller can control the locking mechanism 14, specifically, the controller can control the first locking member 141 to lock the first door body 121 and the second locking member 142 to lock the second door body 122. At this time, the user cannot open the first door body 121 and the second door body 122 normally, and the ice cubes will not be thrown into the air to cause personal injury to the user. When the user finishes taking ice, the ice taking mechanism 13 is in a closed state. At this time, the controller controls the first locking member 141 in the locking mechanism 14 to unlock the first door 121 and controls the second locking member 142 to unlock the second door 122, so that the user can freely open the first door 121 and the second door 122. Therefore, the setting of this structure can realize the locking of the first door 121 and the second door 122 during the ice taking process, thereby avoiding the risk of injury caused by the user opening the door by mistake during the ice taking process, so the structure has the characteristics of higher safety. Furthermore, during the ice taking process, the first door 121 and the second door 122 are locked, the coldness in the refrigerator will not be lost, and the quality of the ice cubes can be better guaranteed.

[0027] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 3 It is a partial three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of a refrigeration device of the present application; Figure 4 It is another partial three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the refrigeration device of the present application.

[0028] In one embodiment of the present application, the refrigeration device 10 further includes a rotating shaft 15 and a bracket 16. The first door body 121 and the box body 11 are rotatably connected through the rotating shaft 15, and the second door body 122 and the box body 11 are slidably connected through the bracket 16. Specifically, the first door body 121 can be closed and opened relative to the box body 11 by rotating the rotating shaft 15, and the second door body 122 can be closed and opened relative to the box body 11 by sliding, so that the second door body 122 is relatively displaced on the bracket 16. At this time, the opening and closing of the door body 12 relative to the box body 11 can be smoother and more convenient.

[0029] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the first door body 121 and the box body 11 may be connected via the bracket 16, and the second door body 122 and the box body 11 may be rotationally connected via the rotating shaft 15, which is not limited here.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present application, the first locking member 141 includes a first locking body 143 and a first locking portion 144. The first locking body 143 is arranged on the inner shell of the first box body 11. The first locking portion 144 is telescopically arranged on the first locking body 143. At this time, since the first locking body 143 is located on the side of the box body 11 away from the rotating shaft 15. According to the lever principle, when the first locking member 141 is in a locked state, the user needs to spend more force to open the first door body 121 relative to the box body 11. Therefore, when the distance between the first locking body 143 and the rotating shaft 15 is farther, the locking effect of the first locking member 141 is better. The first locking portion 144 is telescopically arranged on the first locking body 143. At this time, the displacement of the first door body 121 can be limited by the first locking portion 144, so that the first locking member 141 has a better locking effect, thereby preventing the user from accidentally opening the door during the ice removal process and causing personal injury. Therefore, the setting of this structure is more conducive to the personal safety of users, thereby improving the user experience.

[0031] Furthermore, the first door body 121 is provided with an embedded part 145 corresponding to the first locking part 144. Among them, a first opening 146 is opened on the embedded part 145 corresponding to the first locking part 144. The first opening 146 is used to accommodate the first locking part 144 when the first locking part 141 locks the first door body 121. Specifically, when the user is taking ice, the ice taking mechanism 13 is in the open state. At this time, the controller controls the first locking part 144 of the first locking part 141 to extend out of the inner liner of the box body 11. Since the first opening 146 is provided corresponding to the first locking part 144, the first locking part 144 is inserted into the first opening 146 at this time, thereby realizing the locking of the first locking part 141, and the user cannot open the first door body 121, thereby ensuring the personal safety of the user in the process of taking ice.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present application, the second locking member 142 includes a second locking body 147 and a second locking portion 148. The second locking body 147 is disposed in the inner shell of the second door body 122. The second locking portion 148 is retractably disposed in the second locking body 147. Specifically, when the user is taking ice, the second locking portion 148 extends out of the inner shell of the second door body 122 to lock the second locking member 142. When the user finishes taking ice, the second locking portion 148 retracts into the inner shell of the second door body 122, so that the second locking member 142 is unlocked, and the user can freely open the second door body 122. The setting of this structure can effectively prevent the user from accidentally opening the second door body 122 during the process of taking ice and causing personal injury, and effectively ensure the personal safety of the user during the process of taking ice.

[0033] Furthermore, a through hole 161 is provided on the bracket 16. The through hole 161 is used to accommodate the second locking portion 148 when the second locking member 142 locks the second door body 122. Specifically, when the user takes ice, the second locking portion 148 extends out of the inner liner of the second door body 122 and is inserted into the through hole 161. At this time, the second locking member 142 is locked, and the locking effect of this structure is better. In addition, there is no need to install other structures to achieve the locking of the second door body 122, the number of structural parts is reduced, and the cost is also lower.

[0034] It should be noted that the second locking member 142 can be disposed at any position covered by the bracket 16 , and the second locking member 142 can be locked as long as the second locking portion 148 can be inserted into the through hole 161 of the bracket 16 .

[0035] In one embodiment of the present application, the first locking member 141 and the second locking member 142 are retractable electromagnets and / or electric push rod structures. Specifically, when the first locking member 141 and the second locking member 142 are retractable electromagnets, when the user takes ice, the ice taking mechanism 13 is in the open state, and the controller controls the electromagnet to be energized. At this time, after the electromagnet is energized, the first locking portion 144 and the second locking portion 148 extend outwards. At this time, the first locking portion 144 can be clamped at the first opening 146, and the second locking portion 148 is inserted into the through hole 161 of the bracket 16, thereby realizing the automatic locking of the first locking member 141 and the second locking member 142. When the user finishes taking ice, the ice taking mechanism 13 stops working, and the controller controls the electromagnet to stop being energized. When the electromagnet is not energized, the first locking portion 144 and the second locking portion 148 retract inward, and at this time, the first locking member 141 and the second locking member 142 are unlocked, and the user can freely open the first door body 121 and the second door body 122. The electromagnet structure can be used to control the extension and retraction of the first locking portion 144 and the second locking portion 148 by utilizing the characteristics of the electromagnet itself, thereby further reducing the number of structural parts while satisfying the first locking member 141 and the second locking member 142 being able to quickly achieve automatic locking, thereby reducing production costs. When the first locking member 141 and the second locking member 142 are electric push rods, when the user takes ice, the ice taking mechanism 134 is in the open state, and the controller controls the motor of the electric push rod to be energized, and the energized motor drives the first locking portion 144 and the second locking portion 148 to extend outward and insert into the first opening 146 and the through hole 161 on the bracket 16 respectively, thereby realizing the automatic locking of the first locking member 141 and the second locking member 142. This structure can also realize the automatic locking of the door body 12, reducing the safety risks of the user in the process of taking ice.

[0036] It should be noted that the first locking member 141 and the second locking member 142 can both be configured as a retractable electromagnet structure, or the first locking member 141 and the second locking member 142 can both be configured as an electric push rod structure, or any one of the first locking member 141 and the second locking member 142 can be a retractable electromagnet structure and the other can be an electric push rod structure, which is not limited here. Of course, in some other embodiments, the first locking member 141 and the second locking member 142 can also be a common mechanical self-locking structure, which will not be described one by one here.

[0037] In other embodiments, a magnet is provided at the first door body 121 corresponding to the first locking portion 144. Specifically, when the first locking member 141 is a retractable electromagnet, when the user is taking ice, the ice taking mechanism 13 is in an open state, and the controller controls the driver to energize the first locking member 141. At this time, under the action of electricity, the first locking portion 144 extends outward. When the first door body 121 is provided with a magnet, the first locking portion 144 is adsorbed and connected with the magnet, thereby realizing automatic locking of the first door body 121 to ensure the personal safety of the user during the ice taking process.

[0038] It should be noted that when the second door body 122 is rotatably connected to the box body 11 through the rotating shaft 15, a magnet may be correspondingly provided at the second locking portion 148 so that the second locking member 142 and the second locking portion 148 are ensured to be adsorbed and connected. Of course, in other embodiments, when the first door body 121 or the second door body 122 is slidably connected to the box body 11 by the bracket 16, a magnet may also be provided on the bracket 16 so that the first locking member 141 and the second locking member 142 are automatically locked by the adsorption connection, which will not be described in detail here.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present application, the first locking member 141 includes a first fastening unit 149, and the first fastening unit 149 is disposed at the connection end between the first locking portion 144 and the first locking body 143. At this time, the first fastening unit 149 can effectively prevent the first locking body 143 from falling off from the inner liner of the box body 11 due to vibration during the operation of the refrigeration device 10 during long-term use of the refrigeration device 10. Therefore, the setting of this structure can ensure the stability of the structure of the first locking member 141.

[0040] Furthermore, the second locking member 142 includes a second fastening unit 1410, which is disposed at the connection end between the second locking portion 148 and the second locking body 147. At this time, the second fastening unit 1410 can effectively prevent the second locking body 147 from falling off from the inner liner of the box body 11 due to the vibration of the refrigeration device 10 during the long-term use of the refrigeration device 10. Therefore, the arrangement of this structure can effectively ensure the stability of the second locking member 142 structure.
