[0011] Optionally, the refrigerator further comprises: a flipping mechanism, which is arranged at the opening edge of the groove and is detachably connected to the cover plate, so that the cover plate can be flipped and covered in the groove through the flipping mechanism.

[0012] Optionally, the routing module is constructed with: a fixing structure for fixing the routing module inside the groove.

[0013] Optionally, the groove is arranged at the bottom of the door body, and the opening of the groove faces the bottom of the door body.

[0014] Optionally, the groove is a receiving groove for a built-in microphone; the refrigerator also includes: a microphone, which is embedded in the groove and connected to the main control board via a power supply terminal.

[0015] Optionally, one or more antenna installation grooves are arranged at intervals on the inner wall of the groove; the routing module includes: an antenna for transmitting and receiving wireless network signals; wherein the number of antennas is one or more, and the one or more antennas are respectively arranged in one or more antenna installation grooves in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0018] By setting a routing module embedded in the groove of the refrigerator door, the routing module is integrated into the refrigerator, making full use of the space resources of the refrigerator. The routing module has the ability to connect to the router outside the refrigerator and amplify the wireless network signal. Since the kitchen often absorbs, reflects or attenuates the wireless signal due to factors such as wall structure and electrical equipment, the wireless network signal is relatively weak. The built-in routing module can receive and strengthen the wireless network signal from the external router, thereby effectively improving the quality of the network signal in the kitchen, further improving the coverage and stability of the overall home network, especially for the "blind spot" area covered by the traditional wireless network signal such as the kitchen, increasing the kitchen signal and solving the problem of signal weakening caused by wall obstruction or other factors in the kitchen. In addition, the routing module is powered by the main control board, and the existing refrigerator power line is used.

[0041] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other.

[0042] Since there are many kitchen appliances and a large demand for WIFI (Wireless Fidelity) signals, the kitchen is far away from the main router in the living room and the signal is weakened due to wall blocking or other factors. Therefore, the related art cannot meet the demand for kitchen signals, resulting in poor kitchen signals.

[0043] Combination Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a refrigerator 1. The refrigerator 1 includes: a door body 10, a routing module 20 and a main control board 30. The door body 10 is provided with a groove 101. The routing module 20 is embedded in the groove 101 and is used to connect to a router outside the refrigerator 1 to amplify the wireless network signal in the area where the refrigerator 1 is located. The main control board 30 is connected to the routing module 20 and is used to power the routing module 20.

[0044] In the disclosed embodiment, by setting a routing module 20 embedded in the groove 101 of the door 10 of the refrigerator 1, the routing module 20 is integrated into the refrigerator 1, and the space resources of the refrigerator 1 are fully utilized. The routing module 20 has the ability to connect to the router outside the refrigerator 1 and amplify the wireless network signal. Since the kitchen often absorbs, reflects or attenuates the wireless signal due to factors such as wall structure and electrical equipment, the wireless network signal is relatively weak. The built-in routing module 20 can receive and strengthen the wireless network signal from the external router, thereby effectively improving the network signal quality in the kitchen, further improving the coverage and stability of the overall home network, especially for the "blind spot" area covered by the traditional wireless network signal such as the kitchen, increasing the kitchen signal, and solving the problem of signal weakening in the kitchen due to wall obstruction or other factors. In addition, the routing module 20 is powered by the main control board 30, and the existing refrigerator 1 power line is used, without the need to arrange additional wired networks and sockets, simplifying the installation process and avoiding the impact on the kitchen decoration. In this way, the refrigerator 1 solves the problem of difficult wired wiring and unsightly wireless wiring occupying sockets while increasing the kitchen signal.

[0045] Since the refrigerator 1 is a household appliance that is powered on for a long time, the routing module 20 is powered by the main control board 30 of the refrigerator 1, which can provide continuous power to the routing module 20 for a long time to meet the user's needs.

[0046] Exemplarily, the routing module 20 may be an embedded router or a mini router. This type of routing module 20 is compact in design, small in size, and requires little space for installation, making it easy to integrate and install on the refrigerator without affecting its normal network coverage and routing functions. Therefore, by providing this type of routing module 20, it can be integrated with the refrigerator, thereby enhancing the overall aesthetics and space utilization of the refrigerator. In addition, this type of routing module 20 also has the advantages of low power consumption and high performance.

[0047] Exemplarily, the groove 101 is in the shape of a cuboid.

[0048] For example, the refrigerator 1 may be a built-in sheet metal door refrigerator. The bottom of the door body 10 of the refrigerator 1 has a door handle, which is convenient for users to open and close the door body 10. The structure of the door handle is groove-shaped, which is more conducive to forming a sense of integration between the door handle and the refrigerator door body.

[0049] Exemplarily, the groove 101 is arranged on the inner wall of the door handle. In this way, the design of the groove 101 can be further hidden, and more space can be saved.

[0050] Optionally, the routing module 20 is connected to a router outside the refrigerator 1 via wireless MESH (Wireless Mesh) networking. Wireless Mesh is a network topology in which nodes in the network are interconnected via wireless connections to form a self-organizing, dynamic network. The use of wireless MESH networking can quickly build a network environment in which the routing module 20 is connected to an external router.

[0051] Alternatively, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the refrigerator 1 further includes a power supply terminal 40 . A first end of the power supply terminal 40 is connected to the routing module 20 , and a second end of the power supply terminal 40 is connected to the main control board 30 , so that the main control board 30 supplies power to the routing module 20 through the power supply terminal 40 .

[0052] In the disclosed embodiment, the main control board 30 supplies power to the routing module 20 through the power supply terminal 40, and the existing power supply line of the refrigerator 1 is used, and there is no need to arrange additional wired networks and sockets, which simplifies the installation process and avoids the impact on the kitchen decoration. In this way, the refrigerator 1 solves the problem of difficult wired wiring and unsightly wireless wiring occupying sockets while increasing the kitchen signal.

[0053] Alternatively, if Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the refrigerator 1 further includes a metal component 50. The metal component 50 is disposed at the opening of the groove 101 to increase the strength of the wireless network signal.

[0054] In the disclosed embodiment, when the wireless network signal passes through the opening of the groove 101, the metal component 50 can play a role of reflection and guidance, thereby enhancing the wireless network signal that may have been attenuated, improving the effective utilization rate of the wireless network signal in the kitchen space, and thus enhancing the wireless network signal strength in the kitchen. At the same time, the metal component 50 can also reduce the impact of other electromagnetic interference on the routing module 20, prevent unnecessary electromagnetic noise from interfering with the wireless network signal, and help maintain the purity and stability of the wireless network signal. Therefore, by adding a metal component 50 at the opening of the groove 101 of the refrigerator 1, the wireless network signal in the kitchen area can be further effectively enhanced and stabilized.

[0055] Alternatively, if Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the refrigerator 1 further includes a cover plate 60. The cover plate 60 is detachably arranged on the opening of the groove 101 to close the groove 101.

[0056] In the disclosed embodiment, the cover plate 60 can effectively prevent dust and other impurities from entering the interior of the groove 101, and provide good dustproof, waterproof and moisture-proof protection for the routing module 20, thereby avoiding damage to the routing module 20 due to external environmental factors and extending the service life of the routing module 20. At the same time, the cover plate 60 can make the appearance of the refrigerator 1 more complete and unified, shield the internal electronic components, and enhance the overall aesthetic effect of the refrigerator 1. The cover plate 60 and the groove 101 are set to be detachable, so that the user can easily open the cover plate 60 for operation when the routing module 20 needs to be repaired, replaced or dusted, which does not affect normal use and simplifies the maintenance process.

[0057] Optionally, the refrigerator 1 further includes a flip mechanism. The flip mechanism is arranged at the opening edge of the groove 101 and is detachably connected to the cover plate 60, and the cover plate 60 can be flipped and covered in the groove 101 through the flip mechanism. Exemplarily, the flip mechanism includes a rotating shaft and a bearing. The rotating shaft is arranged at the connection between the cover plate 60 and the groove 101. The bearing sleeve is arranged on the rotating shaft and is detachably connected to the cover plate 60. With the cooperation of the rotating shaft and the bearing, the cover plate 60 can perform a flipping motion around the rotating shaft based on the groove 101.

[0058] Exemplarily, the flip mechanism further includes a stopper, which is disposed between the groove 101 and the cover plate 60 to ensure that the cover plate 60 firmly closes the groove 101 when the cover plate 60 is closed.

[0059] Exemplarily, the stopper includes a magnetic attraction portion and a magnetic attraction matching portion. The magnetic attraction portion is arranged at the edge of the opening of the groove 101; the magnetic attraction matching portion is correspondingly arranged at the cover plate 60. Alternatively, the magnetic attraction portion is arranged at the cover plate 60; the magnetic attraction matching portion is correspondingly arranged at the edge of the opening of the groove 101. In this way, the magnetic attraction portion and the magnetic attraction matching portion cooperate to firmly close the groove 101 when the cover plate 60 is closed.

[0060] In the disclosed embodiment, one side of the cover plate 60 is connected to the edge of the groove 101 through a rotating shaft. When the cover plate 60 is pushed manually or with the help of external force, the cover plate 60 can be smoothly flipped open around the rotating shaft, and the routing module 20 and other components inside the groove 101 can be exposed after opening. When closed, the cover plate 60 is guided by the limiting member to fit and lock at the opening of the groove 101, thereby achieving a sealing and protective effect.

[0061] Optionally, the flipping mechanism also includes a motor, which is electrically connected to the bearing and is used to drive the bearing to rotate relative to the rotating shaft, so that the bearing drives the cover plate 60 to flip, thereby realizing automatic control of the flipping movement of the rice cover 60, which is more intelligent.

[0062] Optionally, the routing module 20 is configured with: a fixing structure for fixing the routing module inside the groove 101 .

[0063] In the disclosed embodiment, a fixed structure is provided to prevent the routing module 20 from moving or falling off during the operation of the refrigerator 1, thereby ensuring that the routing module 20 can always maintain a stable working state, thereby improving the quality and stability of the wireless network signal.

[0064] Exemplarily, the fixing structure includes a positioning hole. The positioning hole is used to position and fix the routing module 20. Specifically, the positioning hole can be a screw hole. Through the cooperation of the screw and the screw hole, the routing module 20 is fixed to the inside of the groove 101. In this way, the routing module 20 can be prevented from moving or falling off during the operation of the refrigerator 1, ensuring that the routing module 20 can always maintain a stable working state. Through the precise cooperation of the screws and the screw holes, the routing module 20 is further firmly connected to the inside of the groove 101 of the refrigerator 1, which not only enhances the stability of the overall structure, but also avoids the loosening of the routing module 20 due to vibration, collision and other reasons, affecting its normal operation and the quality and stability of the wireless network signal. In addition, this fixing method is also convenient for installation and later maintenance. The user can disassemble and restore the routing module 20 as needed, which improves the convenience and durability of the routing module 20.

[0065] Alternatively, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the groove 101 is disposed at the bottom of the door body 10 , and the opening of the groove 101 faces the bottom of the door body 10 .

[0066] In the disclosed embodiment, the groove 101 is disposed at the bottom of the door body 10 and opens toward the bottom of the door body 10 , which helps to hide the routing module 20 and make it more coordinated with the refrigerator 1 as a whole without destroying the integrity of the appearance of the refrigerator 1 .

[0067] Optionally, the groove is a receiving groove for a built-in microphone; the refrigerator further comprises: a microphone, which is embedded in the groove and connected to the main control board via a power supply terminal. By providing a microphone, the refrigerator 1 has a voice recognition capability, and the user can interact with the refrigerator 1 through voice commands, such as checking the shelf life of ingredients, setting the refrigeration temperature, playing music, checking recipes, recording shopping lists, etc., which greatly improves the user experience and further makes the refrigerator 1 a part of a smart home, realizing more convenient life services.

[0068] In the disclosed embodiment, the refrigerator is provided with a receiving slot for installing a microphone when it is factory set. Therefore, the receiving slot is used as the groove 101, that is, the routing module 20 is arranged inside the existing receiving slot for installing a microphone in the refrigerator, and there is no need to set up a separate storage position for the routing module 20, which greatly improves the utilization rate of the internal space of the refrigerator 1, makes the overall structure of the refrigerator 1 more compact, and also keeps the neat and beautiful appearance of the outside of the refrigerator 1.

[0069] Optionally, one or more antenna installation grooves are arranged at intervals on the inner wall of the groove 101. The routing module 20 includes an antenna for transmitting and receiving wireless network signals. The number of antennas is one or more, and the one or more antennas are arranged in one or more antenna installation grooves in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0070] At the same time, by arranging one or more antenna installation grooves at intervals on the inner wall of the groove 101, the antenna layout is made more reasonable, which helps to reduce mutual interference between signals and improve network transmission speed and signal quality.

[0071] Exemplarily, one or more antenna installation grooves are arranged at intervals on the inner wall of the opening side of the groove 101. In this way, the antenna can be close to the opening of the groove 101 to facilitate signal reception.

[0072] In this disclosed embodiment, the number of antennas can be one or more, and each antenna can be embedded in a different antenna mounting slot, so that the direction and position of the antenna can be accurately controlled, so that the wireless signal can more effectively cover every corner of the home, especially for places such as the kitchen where there may be signal blind spots, and can further strengthen the signal in a targeted manner to improve the quality of network coverage.

[0073] Specifically, there are multiple antennas, which are arranged in multiple antenna installation slots in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0074] In the disclosed embodiment, by providing multiple antennas, the wireless network signal of the routing module 20 can be further enhanced.

[0075] Optionally, the routing module 20 further includes an antenna adjustment mechanism. The antenna adjustment mechanism is connected to the antenna and is used to adjust the direction of the antenna to improve the coverage effect of the wireless network signal.

[0076] In this disclosed embodiment, through the antenna adjustment mechanism, the user can flexibly adjust the pointing angle and orientation of the antenna according to the actual usage environment and wireless network signal requirements, which helps to more effectively project the wireless network signal to the target coverage area and expand the effective coverage range of the signal, especially for the hard-to-reach corners of the home or places that are greatly affected by obstacles, thereby further increasing the wireless network signal in the kitchen area.

[0077] Optionally, the refrigerator 1 further comprises a heat dissipation plate. The heat dissipation plate is configured to be thermally connected to the routing module 20 to increase the heat dissipation area of ​​the routing module 20 and improve the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0078] In this disclosed embodiment, by providing a heat dissipation plate, the heat dissipation problem of the integrated routing module 20 in the refrigerator 1 after long-term operation is effectively solved, ensuring the stable operation of the routing module 20 and the long-term stability of the overall performance of the refrigerator 1.

[0079] Optionally, the heat dissipation plate includes a heat dissipation body and a plurality of heat dissipation strips arranged on an outer side wall of the heat dissipation body.

[0080] In the disclosed embodiment, a plurality of heat dissipation strips disposed on the heat dissipation plate can further accelerate the heat dissipation speed.

[0081] Exemplarily, the heat dissipation body is in contact with the outer side wall of the routing module 20 .

[0082] Exemplarily, the heat dissipation body is in contact with the inner wall of the groove 101 .

[0083] In this disclosed embodiment, the heat dissipation body can be fitted with both the outer wall of the routing module 20 and the inner wall of the groove 101, so as to fully utilize the space inside the refrigerator 1, which not only ensures that the heat dissipation requirements of the routing module 20 are met, but also makes full use of the space inside the groove 101.

[0084] Optionally, the routing module 20 further includes: an antenna adjustment mechanism and a heat dissipation plate. The antenna adjustment mechanism is connected to the antenna and is used to adjust the direction of the antenna to improve the coverage effect of the wireless network signal. The heat dissipation plate is configured to be thermally connected to the routing module 20 to increase the heat dissipation area of ​​the routing module 20 and improve the heat dissipation efficiency. In this way, while adjusting the wireless network signal of the routing module 20, the heat dissipation effect of the routing module 20 can be improved, and the working performance of the routing module 20 can be stabilized.
