[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0043] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0044] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0045] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise specified and limited, it should be noted that the terms "installation", "connection" and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components. They can be direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms according to the specific circumstances.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the display module provided by the present invention includes a mounting bracket 100, a display panel 200, and a light source assembly 300, wherein the display panel 200 and the light source assembly 300 are located within the mounting bracket 100. The display panel 200 provides display / touch functionality, and the light source assembly 300 achieves a wide-range ambient lighting effect, thereby increasing the diversity of lighting decorations and enhancing product competitiveness.

[0047] In this document, for ease of explanation, the width direction of the mounting bracket 100 is defined as the first direction, which is also the width direction of the door body, and the length direction of the mounting bracket 100 is defined as the second direction, which is also the height direction of the door body.

[0048] The mounting assembly 100 includes a first bracket 101 and a second bracket 102 connected to the first bracket 101. The first bracket 101 and the second bracket 102 enclose a receiving cavity, within which the display panel 200 and the light source assembly 300 are located. The mounting assembly 100 has a display surface for displaying the display interface of the display panel 200 and a light surface for displaying the light of the light source assembly 300, with the display surface and the light surface facing different directions. That is, the display surface and the light surface are located on different sides of the mounting assembly 100, which can improve the three-dimensional effect of the lighting decoration and enhance the competitiveness of the product.

[0049] It is understood that the mounting component 100 has multiple surfaces facing different directions, and the display surface and the light surface correspond to different surfaces. The display surface refers to the surface having a display area capable of displaying the corresponding display interface, and does not mean that the entire surface is a display area.

[0050] In this embodiment, the mounting component 100 has a front end face and a side surface located on the periphery of the front end face. The display surface is the front end face, and the lighting surface is at least one side surface on the periphery, thereby achieving the effect of front-end display and peripheral ambient lighting. This facilitates user operation of the display panel 200 and also avoids excessive thickness of the display module due to the size requirements of the display panel 200 if the display surface is a peripheral side surface. Of course, this is not a limitation. It is understood that in other embodiments, the mounting component 100 can also be configured as a triangular shape, in which case the lighting surface and the display surface can be two sides of the triangle.

[0051] In one specific embodiment where the display surface is the front end surface of the mounting assembly 100, the light-emitting surface comprises two sides of the peripheral side surface of the mounting assembly 100 along a first direction, thereby enabling a large-scale decorative effect of ambient lighting.

[0052] It is understandable that when the light-emitting surfaces are two opposite sides of the display surface, since there is a certain distance between the two light-emitting surfaces, two light source assemblies 300 are needed to provide light to the two light-emitting surfaces respectively. Preferably, the angle between the light-emitting surface and the display surface is greater than 90°, making it easier for the user to see and providing a better decorative effect.

[0053] Specifically, the first bracket 101 includes a fixing part 101a, a first connecting part 101b located on both sides of the fixing part 101a along a first direction, and a plug-in groove 101c located inside the first connecting part 101b.

[0054] The fixing part 101a and the second bracket 102 together form a first receiving cavity for accommodating the display panel 200, and the first connecting part 101b and the second bracket 102 together form a second receiving cavity for accommodating the light source assembly 300. The second receiving cavities are respectively disposed on both sides of the first receiving cavity along a first direction, thereby installing two light source assemblies 300. The insertion slot 101c is used to fix the second bracket 102.

[0055] The fixing part 101a includes a plug-in wall 101a-1 spaced apart from the first connecting part 101b, and the plug-in groove 101c is formed between the plug-in wall 101a-1 and the first connecting part 101b. The plug-in wall 101a-1 is perpendicular to the fixing part 101a.

[0056] The fixing part 101a further includes a retaining rib 101a-2 that abuts against the display panel 200 located within the first accommodating cavity. Under the abutting action of the retaining rib 101a-2, the display interface of the display panel 200 is brought into close contact with the display surface. The retaining rib 101a-2 is located inside the insertion wall 101a-1 and parallel to the insertion wall 101a-1, and the length of the retaining rib 101a-2 is greater than the length of the insertion wall 101a-1. In this embodiment, multiple retaining ribs 101a-2 are provided at intervals.

[0057] The first connecting portion 101b includes a first wall 101b-1 perpendicular to the fixing portion 101a, a second wall 101b-2 extending obliquely from the middle of the first wall 101b-1 toward the fixing portion 101a, and a third wall 101b-3 extending obliquely away from the connection between the first wall 101b-1 and the second wall 101b-2 in a direction away from the fixing portion 101a. The first wall 101b-1 extends from the fixing portion 101a toward the second bracket 102, and the second wall 101b-2 and the third wall 101b-3 are perpendicular to each other, which together enclose and form the second accommodating cavity.

[0058] In other embodiments, the third wall 101b-3 may also be integrally formed with the first wall 101b-1. In this case, the thickness of the first wall 101b-1 gradually increases from the connection point with the second wall 101b-2 toward the direction away from the fixing part 101a, thereby forming an inclined surface perpendicular to the second wall 101b-2. The second wall 101b-2 and the inclined surface are used to enclose and form the second accommodating cavity.

[0059] A limiting portion 101b-21 is provided in the middle of the second wall 101b-2. The limiting portion 101b-21 is perpendicular to the second wall 101b-2, that is, the limiting portion 101b-21 is parallel to the third wall 101b-3. The length of the limiting portion 101b-21 is less than the length of the third wall 101b-3. The limiting portion 101b-21 is used to limit the light source assembly 300 located in the second accommodating cavity.

[0060] The first connecting portion 101b further includes a fourth wall 101b-4 connecting the second wall 101b-2 and the fixing portion 101a. The fourth wall 101b-4 is parallel to the first wall 101b-1, and its length is less than the length of the first wall 101b-1. The first wall 101b-1, the second wall 101b-2, the fourth wall 101b-4, and the fixing portion 101a together form a sealing shape, which is a right-angled trapezoid, thereby improving the structural strength of the first connecting portion 101b.

[0061] In this embodiment, the insertion groove 101c is formed between the fourth wall 101b-4 and the insertion wall 101a-1.

[0062] The second bracket 102 includes a main body 102a directly opposite the fixing part 101a, second connecting parts 102b located on both sides of the main body 102a along the first direction, and a plug-in part 102c located on the side of the second connecting part 102b away from the main body 101c. The main body 102a and the fixing part 101a are parallel, and the main body 102a, the second connecting part 102b and the fixing part 101a together form the first receiving cavity, the first connecting part 101b and the second connecting part 102b together form the second receiving cavity, and the plug-in part 102c is inserted into the plug-in slot 101c.

[0063] The plane on which the main body 102a is located is the display surface. The main body 102a is provided with a window 102a-1, and the display interface of the display panel 200 is located within the window 102a-1. That is, the area where the window 102a-1 is located is the display area of ​​the display interface.

[0064] The second connecting portion 102b includes a fifth wall 102b-1 connected to the main body portion 102a, and a sixth wall 102b-2 extending from one end of the fifth wall 102b-1 away from the main body portion 102a toward the fixing portion 101a. The fifth wall 102b-1 is parallel to the second wall 101b-2, the sixth wall 102b-2 is parallel to the third wall 101b-3, and the sixth wall 102b-2 abuts against the second wall 102b-2.

[0065] The second connecting portion 102b also includes a seventh wall 102b-3 spaced apart from the sixth wall 102b-2, the seventh wall 102b-3 and the third wall 101b-3 being located on the same straight line and having a gap between them.

[0066] It is understood that the fifth wall 102b-1 forms an angle with the main body 102a, and the sixth wall 102b-2 and the seventh wall 102b-3 are perpendicular to the fifth wall 102b-1. The sixth wall 102b-2 extends from the fifth wall 102b-1 to the second wall 102b-2, and the third wall 101b-3 and the seventh wall 102b-3 extend towards each other, and the sum of their lengths is less than the length of the sixth wall 102b-2.

[0067] The second wall 102b-2, the third wall 101b-3, the fifth wall 102b-1, the sixth wall 102b-2, and the seventh wall 102b-3 enclose and form the second accommodating cavity, which is rectangular. Because there is a gap between the third wall 101b-3 and the seventh wall 102b-3, the light source assembly 300 located within the second accommodating cavity can emit light outwards through the gap.

[0068] Of course, the shape of the second accommodating cavity can be determined according to the shape of the light source assembly 300. The first connecting part 101b and the second connecting part 102b can be adapted to the shape of the light source assembly 300 to form a second accommodating cavity that is compatible with the light source assembly 300.

[0069] The insertion part 102c is located at the end of the sixth wall 102b-2 away from the fifth wall 102b-2. The insertion part 102c is inserted into the insertion groove 101c, thereby realizing the insertion and fixation of the first bracket 102 and the second bracket 102. In this embodiment, the insertion part 102c is U-shaped, and the fixing part 101a is provided with a screw hole located in the insertion groove 101c. A screw is inserted into the insertion part 102c through the screw hole to realize the connection and fixation of the first bracket 102 and the second bracket 102.

[0070] The mounting assembly 100 further includes a cover plate 103 located at both ends of the first bracket 101 along the second direction to close the gap between the first bracket 101 and the second bracket 102. After the first bracket 101 and the second bracket 102 are connected and fixed, the gaps at both ends of the first bracket 101 and the second bracket 102 are closed by the cover plate 103.

[0071] Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the first bracket 101 and the second bracket 102 after being connected and fixed is a composite shape consisting of a rectangle and an isosceles trapezoid. The cover plate 103 has the same shape as this composite shape, thereby completely sealing the gaps at both ends.

[0072] The cover plate 103 is provided with a screw hole 103a on the side near the first bracket 101. The first bracket 101 is provided with an assembly hole corresponding to the screw hole 103a. The cover plate 103 and the first bracket 101 are connected and fixed by passing a screw through the screw hole 103a and the assembly hole.

[0073] The cover plate 103 is provided with a buckle 103b on the side near the second bracket 102, and the main body 102a is provided with a snap-fit ​​hole (not shown in the figure). The buckle 103b is snapped into the snap-fit ​​hole to realize the connection and fixation of the cover plate 103 and the second bracket 102. In this embodiment, two buckles 103b are provided at intervals.

[0074] The cover plate 103 further includes positioning ribs 103c located on both sides of the cover plate 103 along the first direction, and limiting ribs 103d adjacent to the positioning ribs 103c. The positioning ribs 103c are right-angled trapezoids and are inserted into the closed shape formed by the first wall 101b-1, the second wall 101b-2, the fourth wall 101b-4, and the fixing part 101a, thereby providing positioning for the assembly of the cover plate 103. The limiting ribs 103d are located in the second receiving cavity and are used to limit and fix the light source assembly 300 located in the second receiving cavity. In this embodiment, the limiting ribs 103d are L-shaped.

[0075] The two cover plates 103 at both ends have the same shape and structure, and are assembled in the same way. Under the action of the limiting ribs 103d on the two cover plates 103 at both ends, the light source assembly 300 is fixed in the second accommodating cavity.

[0076] The display panel 200 has a touch-operable display interface, which is located within the window 102a-1 of the main body 102a, thereby ensuring display effect and touch function.

[0077] The light source assembly 300 includes a lampshade 301 and a light strip 302 located within the lampshade 301. The lampshade 301 is made of translucent plastic, which effectively protects the light strip 302 without affecting its light scattering. The lampshade 301 has a groove 301a that mates with the limiting part 101b-21. The limiting part 101b-21 is inserted into the groove 301a. The interaction between the limiting part 101b-21 and the groove 301a facilitates the positioning and fixing of the light source assembly 300. Several LED beads are spaced apart on the light strip, resulting in more uniform light scattering from the light source assembly 300.

[0078] Since all the walls that enclose the second accommodating cavity are opaque, the light emitted by the lamp strip 302 can only be scattered outward from the gap between the third wall 101b-3 and the seventh wall 102b-3.

[0079] The lighting method of the light source component 300 can adopt the lighting method of existing refrigerator lights, such as being set to be activated by human presence or touch-activated. The display scheme of the light source component 300 can be set according to specific needs, such as changing the display effect based on the user's operation on the display area. Of course, it is not limited to this.

[0080] The display module also includes a light-transmitting sheet 400 directly opposite the gap between the third wall 101b-3 and the seventh wall 102b-3. The light-transmitting sheet 400 is made of transparent plastic and covered with a PET film. The PET film can be of different colors and can be designed with different patterns, such as horizontal grids or vertical stripes, according to different needs. Thus, the light emitted by the light source assembly 300 can achieve different lighting display effects after passing through the light-transmitting sheet 400.

[0081] In this embodiment, the light-transmitting sheet 400 is fixed between the first connecting portion 101b and the second connecting portion 201b. Specifically, the first connecting portion 101b further includes a first connecting groove 101b-5 located at the end of the first wall 101b-1, and the second connecting portion 201b further includes a second connecting groove 102b-4 located at the end of the fifth wall 102b-1 away from the sixth wall 102b-2. The light-transmitting sheet 400 is fixed between the first connecting groove 101b-5 and the second connecting groove 102b-4.

[0082] The side of the light-transmitting sheet 400 facing the gap simultaneously abuts against the third wall 101b-3 and the seventh wall 102b-3, thereby securing the light-transmitting sheet 400 in conjunction with the first connecting groove 101b-5 and the second connecting groove 102b-4.

[0083] It is understood that the plane on which the light-transmitting sheet 400 is located is the light-emitting surface. The light-transmitting sheet 400 is parallel to the sixth wall 102b-2, and the angle between the light-transmitting sheet 400 and the main body 102a is greater than 90°, that is, the angle between the display surface and the light-emitting surface is greater than 90°.

[0084] The display module also includes a glass 500 disposed on the side of the main body 102a facing away from the first bracket 101. The glass 500 is attached to the main body 102a with adhesive or tape, maintaining the consistency and integrity of the display module and the door panel. The display interface of the display panel 200 located within the window 102a-1 is pressed tightly against the glass 500 by the supporting ribs 101a-2, thereby ensuring display effect and touch function.

[0085] In this embodiment, the second connecting portion 102b further includes a protrusion 102b-5 located at the end of the fifth wall 102b-1 away from the sixth wall 102b-2. The protrusion 102b-5 is used to position and align the main body portion 102a and the glass 500, and the edge of the glass 500 abuts against the protrusion 102b-5. The protrusion 102b-5 and the second connecting groove 102b-4 are located on opposite sides of the fifth wall 102b-1.

[0086] The following is a detailed description of the assembly of the display module:

[0087] First, attach the glass 500 to the side of the main body 102a away from the first bracket 101 using glue or tape. When attaching, hold the edge of the glass 500 against the protrusion 102b-5 to align the glass 500 and the main body 102a.

[0088] Then, align the display interface of the display panel 200 with the window 102a-1 on the main body 102a, place the two light source assemblies 300 on the second connecting part 102b, and attach one side of the light-transmitting sheet 400 into the second connecting groove 102b-4.

[0089] The second bracket 102 is then connected to the first bracket 101. The insertion part 102c is inserted into the insertion slot 101c and fixed with screws. The other side of the light-transmitting sheet 400 is pasted into the first connecting slot 101b-5. The supporting rib 101a-2 abuts against the display panel 200 and makes the display interface closely adhere to the glass 500, thereby completing the fixing of the display panel 200, the light source assembly 300 and the light-transmitting sheet 400.

[0090] Finally, the cover plate 103 is installed, and the two sets of cover plates 103 are fixed to both ends of the assembled bracket, thereby closing the gaps at both ends and simultaneously fixing the light source assembly 300 in the second accommodating cavity.

[0091] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 The present invention also provides a door with the aforementioned display module and a refrigeration device having the door, enabling the door to have display / touch control and a wide-area ambient lighting effect, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of the corresponding product. The refrigeration device includes a box for storing items and a door for opening or closing the box. When the door is closed, the door and the box together form a closed refrigerated space for storing items. When the door is open, it facilitates the user to store or retrieve items from the box.

[0092] In this embodiment, a built-in refrigerator is used as an example for specific explanation. Of course, it is understood that the refrigeration device is not necessarily a built-in refrigerator; it can also be a non-built-in refrigeration device, or even a wine cabinet, etc.

[0093] The door includes a door body 600 and a display module installed on the door body 600.

[0094] The door body 600 includes a door liner 602 and a door panel 603 opposite to the door liner 602. The door body 100 has a mounting cavity 601 for mounting the display module. The mounting cavity 601 extends along the height direction of the door body 600, and the display surface and the light surface protrude from the mounting cavity 601.

[0095] The mounting cavity 601 has a mounting port at one end corresponding to the side where the door panel 603 is located, allowing the display module to enter the mounting cavity 601. That is, the front end of the mounting cavity 601 has a mounting port for the display module to enter the mounting cavity 601. In this application, the mounting port of the mounting cavity 601 is located at its front end, thereby enabling the display module to be installed from front to back through the mounting port after the door body 600 has been foamed, simplifying the assembly of the display module.

[0096] The display surface and the light-emitting surface protrude from the mounting cavity 601. It can be understood that the main body 102a and the light-transmitting sheet 400 protrude from the mounting cavity 601, that is, from the plane where the door panel 603 is located, so that the light emitted by the light source assembly 300 can be normally scattered and displayed from the light-transmitting sheet 400 without being blocked by the door body 600.

[0097] In this embodiment, the mounting cavity 601 is provided with snap-fit ​​portions spaced along the height direction, and the fixing portion 101a is provided with fixing holes 101a-3 that mate with the snap-fit ​​portions. The snap-fit ​​portions are L-shaped, and by inserting the snap-fit ​​portions into the fixing holes 101a-3, the display module is fixed in the mounting cavity 601. The door panel 603 is a glass panel, thus maintaining consistency with the glass 500 provided on the main body 102a.

[0098] In summary, this invention, through the display panel 200 with display / touch functionality and the light source component 300 capable of achieving a wide-range ambient lighting effect, enhances the diversity of lighting decorations in the display module. The display surface and the light source surface face different directions, improving the three-dimensional effect of the lighting decorations. Doors equipped with this display module can simultaneously fulfill the functions of display / touch and ambient lighting, significantly enhancing the product's competitiveness.
