[0062] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6 1 is a first structural schematic diagram of a refrigerator drinking water device according to an embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, the information collection device 26 may include a read-write device 261. The read-write device 261 may read the information of the water collection container 40 stored in the electronic tag.

When the user wants to mark water collection container B with the NFC electronic tag, the user can delete the original information corresponding to the NFC electronic tag through the smart phone, edit the new container information to be marked, and then send it to the NFC antenna of the NFC electronic tag A, so that the NFC electronic tag A can mark the container information of water collection container B.

[0068] At the same time, the embodiment of the present application sets a second Bluetooth module and a WiFi module in the reading and writing device 261 (i.e., the NFC reading and writing device) on the refrigerator end, so that a communication connection can be established with the first Bluetooth module of the NFC electronic tag through the second Bluetooth module, so that the reading and writing device 261 on the refrigerator end can automatically enter the container information marked by the NFC electronic tag, and at the same time, the container information corresponding to the NFC electronic tag can be uploaded to the cloud through the WiFi module, or uploaded to the display screen 29 for display.

[0069] In some embodiments, the information collection device 26 may include at least one infrared sensor 262. The infrared sensor 262 is used to collect multiple coordinate data corresponding to the water collection container 40 and send it to the controller 28 when the water collection container 40 is placed on the seat 23.

[0070] In some embodiments, the infrared sensor 262 can also be used to detect whether the water collection container 40 is aligned with the water outlet, that is, whether the water collection container 40 is placed in place can be determined by detecting whether there is an obstruction under the water outlet.

[0071] In some embodiments, it can be configured that after the infrared sensor 262 detects that the water collection container 40 is aligned with the water outlet, the water outlet is controlled to start discharging water. For example, after the infrared sensor 262 detects that the water collection container 40 is aligned with the water outlet, it sends a first signal to the controller 28. After receiving the first signal, the controller 28 controls the water outlet valve 22 to be turned on to start filling the water collection container 40 with water.

[0072] In some embodiments, the controller 28 can compile the contour shape of the water collection container 40 based on multiple coordinate data corresponding to the water collection container 40, and then determine the height, upper base diameter and lower base diameter of the water collection container 40 through image processing, so as to further calculate the capacity or volume of the water collection container 40.

[0073] In some embodiments, the infrared sensor 262 may include an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver. The infrared transmitter and the infrared receiver are correspondingly arranged on the upper and lower sides of the space where the water collection container is placed below the water outlet. For example, the infrared transmitter may be arranged on the door body on the side where the water outlet is located, and the infrared receiver may be arranged on the door body on the side where the seat 23 is located or on the seat 23. Alternatively, the infrared receiver may be arranged on the door body on the side where the water outlet is located, and the infrared transmitter may be arranged on the door body on the side where the seat 23 is located or on the seat 23.

[0074] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 It is a second structural schematic diagram of a refrigerator drinking water device of an embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, the information collection device 26 may include two infrared sensors, namely a first infrared sensor and a second infrared sensor. Among them, the first infrared sensor includes a first infrared transmitter SS1 and a first infrared receiver SR1. The second infrared sensor includes a second infrared transmitter SS2 and a second infrared receiver SR2. The first infrared transmitter SS1 and the second infrared transmitter SS2 are arranged on the door body on the side where the water outlet is located, and the first infrared receiver SR1 and the second infrared receiver SR2 are arranged on the seat 23. When the water collection container 40 is placed on the seat 23, the first infrared sensor and the second infrared sensor can collect and obtain multiple coordinate data corresponding to the water collection container 40. Then, the collected multiple coordinate data are sent to the controller 28, so that the controller 28 can obtain the capacity or volume of the water collection container 40 according to the multiple coordinate data.

[0075] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the drinking device 20 may include a detection device 27. The detection device 27 is configured to detect the water injection amount of the water collection container 40 and generate a detection signal. The drinking device 20 may also include a controller 28. The controller 28 may control the water outlet valve to perform a switch action according to the parameter information of the water collection container 40 and the detection signal.

[0076] Reference Figure 8 , Figure 8 2 is a third structural schematic diagram of a refrigerator drinking water device according to an embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, the detection device 27 may include an ultrasonic sensor 271. The ultrasonic sensor 271 may be disposed at the water outlet. The ultrasonic sensor 271 is used to generate a detection signal and send it to the controller 28 when detecting that the liquid level of the water collection container is equal to the target liquid level. After receiving the detection signal sent by the ultrasonic sensor 271, the controller 28 considers that the water collection is completed, and the controller 28 controls the water outlet valve 22 to disconnect to stop filling the water collection container 40 with water.

[0077] In some embodiments, when the water collection container 40 is placed on the seat 23, Figure 6 or Figure 7 The information collection device 260 shown can automatically collect relevant information of the water collection container 40, such as height, upper bottom diameter, lower bottom diameter, capacity, volume, etc. After acquiring the relevant information of the water collection container 40 sent by the information collection device 260, the controller 28 can determine the target liquid level of the water collection container 40. After acquiring the relevant information of the water collection container 40 sent by the information collection device 260, the controller 28 can control the water outlet valve 22 to be turned on after a preset time (such as 3 seconds) to start filling water into the water collection container 40. The ultrasonic sensor 271 can detect the real-time liquid level of the water collection container 40 in real time by ultrasonic ranging, and send it to the controller 28. Specifically, when the sound wave is reflected back by the liquid surface of the water collection container 40, it is received by the ultrasonic sensor 271, and the controller 28 can calculate the height (i.e., liquid level) of the liquid surface of the water collection container 40 according to the transmission time of the sound wave. When it is detected that the liquid level of the water collection container 40 reaches the target liquid level, the controller 28 can control the water outlet valve 22 to be disconnected to stop filling the water collection container 40. In this way, the water outlet can be automatically controlled and the overflow of the full cup can be avoided.

[0078] Reference Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 2 is a fourth structural diagram of a refrigerator drinking water device according to an embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, the detection device 27 may include a timer 272. The timer 272 may be used to start timing at the start of water filling, and send a detection signal to the controller 28 when the timing duration reaches the target duration. After receiving the detection signal sent by the timer 272, the controller 28 considers that water extraction is completed, and the controller 28 controls the water outlet valve 22 to be disconnected to stop injecting water into the water extraction container 40.

[0079] It should be noted that the timer 272 can be set at any position of the refrigerator, and the timer 272 can be integrated into the controller 28.

[0080] In some embodiments, when the water collection container 40 is placed on the seat 23, Figure 6 or Figure 7 The information collection device 260 shown can automatically collect relevant information of the water collection container 40, such as height, upper bottom diameter, lower bottom diameter, capacity, volume, etc. After acquiring the relevant information of the water collection container 40 sent by the information collection device 260, the controller 28 can determine the target time for filling water into the water collection container 40. Specifically, the controller 28 can determine the capacity or volume of the water collection container 40 according to the relevant information of the water collection container 40. Since the water outlet speed of the water outlet is generally fixed in advance, the target time for filling water into the water collection container 40 can be determined according to the capacity or volume and the water outlet speed of the water collection container 40. After acquiring the relevant information of the water collection container 40 sent by the information collection device 260, the controller 28 can control the water outlet valve 22 to be turned on, such as after a preset time (such as 3 seconds), to start filling water into the water collection container 40. The timer 272 starts timing at the start of water filling, and sends a detection signal to the controller 28 when the timing time reaches the target time. When the controller 28 receives the detection signal sent by the timer 272, the controller 28 can control the water outlet valve 22 to be disconnected to stop filling water into the water intake container 40. In this way, the water outlet can be automatically controlled and the phenomenon of overflowing a full cup can be avoided.

In some embodiments, the detection device 27 may include a weight sensor 273. The weight sensor 273 may be disposed in the seat 23 below the water outlet. The weight sensor 273 is used to generate a detection signal and send it to the controller 28 when it detects that the water injection weight into the water collection container is equal to the target water injection weight. After receiving the detection signal sent by the weight sensor 273, the controller 28 considers that the water extraction is completed, and the controller 28 controls the water outlet valve 22 to disconnect to stop injecting water into the water collection container 40.

[0082] In some embodiments, when the water collection container 40 is placed on the seat 23, Figure 6 or Figure 7The information collection device 260 shown can automatically collect relevant information of the water collection container 40, such as height, upper bottom diameter, lower bottom diameter, capacity, volume, etc. After acquiring the relevant information of the water collection container 40 sent by the information collection device 260, the controller 28 can determine the target water injection weight of the water collection container 40. Specifically, the controller 28 can determine the capacity or volume of the water collection container 40 according to the relevant information of the water collection container 40. Then, according to the density of water and the capacity or volume of the water collection container 40, the target water injection weight of the water collection container 40 can be determined. After acquiring the relevant information of the water collection container 40 sent by the information collection device 260, the controller 28 can control the water outlet valve 22 to be turned on, such as after a preset time (such as 3 seconds), to start injecting water into the water collection container 40. The weight sensor 273 can measure the initial weight of the water collection container 40 before water is discharged, and can measure the weight of the water collection container 40 during the water injection process in real time and send it to the controller 28. The controller 28 can receive the initial weight and the real-time weight of the water collection container 40, and thus can calculate the real-time water filling weight, wherein the real-time water filling weight is equal to the real-time weight minus the initial weight. When the controller 28 detects that the real-time water filling weight reaches the target water filling weight, the controller 28 can control the water outlet valve 22 to disconnect, so as to stop water filling into the water collection container 40. In this way, the water outlet can be automatically controlled and the phenomenon of overflowing from a full cup can be avoided.

[0083] In some embodiments, considering that the installation space of the seat 23 is limited and the seat 23 is arranged vertically below the water outlet, generally, placing the water collection container 40 on the seat 23 can ensure that the water collection container 40 is aligned with the water outlet. Therefore, after detecting that the water collection container 40 is placed on the seat 23, the water outlet can be controlled to start discharging water.

[0084] It should be noted that if Figure 6 or Figure 7 The information collection device 260 shown can automatically collect relevant information of the water collection container 40 and send it to the controller 28 when the water collection container 40 is placed on the seat 23. Therefore, after receiving the relevant information of the water collection container 40 sent by the information collection device 260, the controller 28 can be regarded as detecting that the water collection container 40 is placed on the seat 23. Therefore, after receiving the relevant information of the water collection container 40 sent by the information collection device 260, the controller 28 can control the water outlet valve 22 to be turned on after a preset time (such as 3 seconds) to start filling water into the water collection container 40.

[0085] Reference Fig.11 , Fig.11It is the sixth structural schematic diagram of the refrigerator drinking water device of an embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, the detection device 27 also includes a magnetic sensor 274. The magnetic sensor 274 can be arranged in the seat 23 below the water outlet. Correspondingly, a magnetic material 42 can be arranged at the bottom of the water collection container 40. Or a magnetic material 42 can be arranged near the bottom of the water collection container 40. The magnetic sensor 274 is used to generate a first detection signal when the water collection container is placed on the seat 23 and send it to the controller 28. Correspondingly, the controller 28 is also configured to control the water outlet valve 22 to be turned on based on the first detection signal to start filling water into the water collection container.

[0086] Specifically, the magnetic material 42 is a material that can generate a magnetic field, such as the magnetic material 42 can be a magnet. By arranging the magnetic material 42 at the bottom of the water collection container 40 or in an area close to the bottom, correspondingly, a magnetic sensor 274 is arranged in the seat 23, which can be used to perform corresponding induction on the magnetic material 42. The magnetic sensor 274 is a device that can generate induction on a magnetic field, such as the magnetic sensor 274 can be a Hall sensor. When the water collection container 40 with the magnetic material 42 is placed on the seat 23, the magnetic sensor 274 generates an induction signal and sends it to the controller 28. After receiving the induction signal (i.e., the first detection signal) transmitted by the magnetic sensor 274, the controller 28 indicates that the water collection container 40 is placed on the seat 23. At this time, the water outlet valve 22 can be controlled to be turned on to start filling water into the water collection container.

[0087] Reference Figure 3 The drinking device 20 may further include a display screen 29. The display screen 29 may be disposed on the door body 12. The display screen 29 is electrically connected to the controller 28, and the display screen 29 is configured to display function buttons and operation buttons.

[0088] In some embodiments, the display screen 29 may display a function button for inputting container information, that is, the user can manually input parameter information of the water collection container 40 through the display screen 29 by pressing or touching the function button for inputting container information. The display screen 29 may display an operation button for an automatic water filling switch, that is, the user can control the start or stop of water discharge by pressing or touching the operation button of the automatic water filling switch. The display screen 29 may display the water discharge temperature. The display screen may display a plurality of selection buttons for water discharge, such as displaying a water discharge of 150 ml, a water discharge of 200 ml, and a water discharge of 1000 ml. The user can inject a corresponding amount of water into the water collection container by pressing or touching the water discharge selection button to achieve quantitative water collection.
