[0026] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention; in the description of the present invention, "multiple" and "several" mean at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
[0028] See also Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the utility model is a knob structure with a date function for a refrigerator, comprising a refrigerator cover 1, a knob assembly 2 and a sticker 3 with digital month and date. The knob assembly 2 is slidably mounted on the refrigerator cover 1. The knob assembly 2 comprises a sticker 20 with digital day and date and an indicator sticker 23. The indicator sticker 23 is provided with a color code portion 230 corresponding to the sticker 20 with digital day and date. The sticker 3 with digital month and date is arranged on the refrigerator cover 1.
[0029] During use, the date sticker 20 with digital days can be rotated by rotating the knob assembly 2 itself, so that the day and date on the date sticker 20 with digital days can be correspondingly indicated by the color code part 230 on the indicator sticker 23, which is convenient for the user to know the corresponding day and date of food storage. When the knob assembly 2 is slid to the month and date on the date sticker 3 with digital months, the user can know the corresponding month and date of food storage. The use of this technical solution has strong practicality, and marking the storage date of food is simple and quick, which effectively improves the product grade and enhances the product market competitiveness.
[0030] In this specific embodiment, the knob assembly 2 also includes a knob ring 21, a base 1 22 and a base 24. The base 24 is slidably mounted on the refrigerator cover 1, and an indicator surface sticker 23 is affixed to the base 24. The base 1 22 is fixedly mounted on the base 2 24 with a buckle, and the knob ring 21 is rotatably mounted on the base 1 22. The top end of the knob ring 21 is affixed with a digital day date surface sticker 20. During the day and date indication operation of the rotating assembly, the user can easily rotate the knob ring 21 along the base 1 22 and the base 2 24 so that the day and date rotated by the digital day and date surface sticker 20 corresponds to the color code indication position on the indicator surface sticker 23, which is convenient to operate; during the month and date indication operation of the rotating assembly, it is convenient to slide the knob assembly 2 as a whole to the month and date with the month digital date surface sticker 3, so that the user can grasp the corresponding month and date of food storage.
[0031] It should be understood that the knob assembly 2 can be deformed to achieve date and month adjustment using structures such as gear racks; and the knob assembly 2 can be replaced by hollow explicit visualization solutions and color code identification solutions.
[0032] In this specific embodiment, two hooks 240 of an integrated structure are provided at the bottom of the base 24. The hooks 240 are slidably installed in the slots 11 on the refrigerator cover 1. The hooks 240 are connected to the slots 11 through sliding cooperation, so that the knob assembly 2 can be slidably adjusted through the base 2 24 to be stable.
[0033] In this specific embodiment, a month sticker positioning groove 10 is provided on the refrigerator cover 1, and a date sticker 3 with month digits is mounted in the month sticker positioning groove 10, and the side wall of the month sticker positioning groove 10 is arranged to conflict with the limiting protrusion 241 at the bottom of the base 24. During the sliding adjustment process of the knob assembly 2, the limiting protrusion 241 and the month sticker positioning groove 10 are used to limit the conflict, thereby further enhancing the sliding adjustment stability of the rotating assembly.
[0034] The installation steps of the knob structure of this application are as follows:
[0035] S1. Install the date sticker 3 with month digits on the refrigerator cover 1 at the position of the month sticker positioning groove 10;
[0036] S2. Install the date sticker 20 with digital days on the top end of the knob ring 21. The date sticker 20 with digital days is made of a transparent material.
[0037] S3, install the indicator sticker 23 with the color code portion 230 on the second base 24;
[0038] S4. The second base 24 is slidably installed in the slot 11 of the refrigerator cover 1 through the hook 240;
[0039] S5. Fix the base 1 22 onto the base 2 24 by snapping it in place.
[0040] S6. Rotate the knob ring 21 and install it on the base 1 22.
[0041] This makes the installation and disassembly process of the knob structure of the present application convenient, efficient, low-cost and quality controllable.
[0042] The above describes an embodiment of the present invention in detail. However, the above content is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention.
