[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] The utility model provides a refrigerator with a self-luminous refrigerator sliding door handle, such as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, it includes a cabinet body 1, a cabinet opening 11 is arranged on the top of the cabinet body 1, a sliding glass door 2 is installed at the cabinet opening 11, a luminous door handle 3 is installed at one end of the sliding glass door 2, the luminous door handle 3 has a built-in light source, a first power supply component 12 is installed on one side of the top of the cabinet opening 11, and a second power supply component 31 is installed on the bottom of the luminous door handle 3. When the sliding glass door 2 is closed, the first power supply component 12 contacts the second power supply component 31 to connect the built-in light source of the luminous door handle 3, and a light guide plate 4 is installed on the top of the luminous door handle 3, and the light guide plate 4 is opened or closed by a mechanical switch control.

[0023] In this embodiment, the luminous door handle 3 is made of transparent PVC material, and the internal light source is an LED light board. The positive and negative terminals of the LED light board are respectively connected to two pairs of first power supply components 12 and second power supply components 31. When the first power supply component 12 and the second power supply component 31 are in contact, the light source is turned on.

[0024] Specifically, a sensor is installed on the surface of the luminous door handle 3. The sensor has a control board, and the output end of the control board is electrically connected to the input end of the light guide plate 4, which is convenient for controlling the lighting and closing of the light guide plate 4. There is a battery in the door handle, and the battery can directly light the lamp. At this time, the sensor is used to receive the signal. If a touch sensor is used, the presence or absence of a touch signal is two control signals for controlling whether the lamp is lit. When the sensor is used, it is a control board with a sensor, and the final control signal is output by the control board.

[0025] Furthermore, the first power supply component 12 includes a lower pressure plate 121, and a lower power supply contact piece 125 is installed on the top surface of the lower pressure plate 121. The second power supply component 31 includes an upper pressure plate 314, and an upper power supply contact piece 315 is installed on the bottom surface of the upper pressure plate 314. The upper power supply contact piece 315 is in contact with the lower power supply contact piece 125 by pressing the upper pressure plate 314 and the lower pressure plate 121. The upper power supply contact piece 315 and the lower power supply contact piece 125 are respectively connected to the wiring of the built-in light source of the luminous door handle 3, so as to realize the illumination of the luminous door handle 3. A first inclined surface 1211 is provided at one end of the lower pressure plate 121, and a second inclined surface 3141 is provided at one end of the upper pressure plate 314, so as to facilitate the sliding fit between the lower pressure plate 121 and the upper pressure plate 314.

[0026] Furthermore, a lower movable column 124 is installed at the bottom of the lower pressure plate 121, a first spring 122 is wound around the outside of the lower movable column 124, a lower fixed sleeve 123 is sleeved on the bottom end of the lower movable column 124, and the lower fixed sleeve 123 is installed at the cabinet opening 11, and the lower pressure plate 121 is tightened by the first spring 122.

[0027] Furthermore, an upper movable column 312 is installed on the top of the upper pressure plate 314, a second spring 313 is wound around the outside of the upper movable column 312, an upper fixed sleeve 311 is sleeved on the top of the upper movable column 312, and the upper fixed sleeve 311 is installed at the luminous door handle 3, and the upper pressure plate 314 is tightened by the second spring 313.

[0028] Furthermore, the sensor is a distance sensor, a touch sensor or a brightness sensor. When the sensor senses a signal, the built-in chip can be used to control the lighting of the light guide plate 4. The door handle is provided with a control panel of a distance sensor, and the cabinet opening is provided with a door magnet and other signal sources that can be linked with the distance sensor. For example, in the process of the door being closed and opened, the door handle is farther and farther away from the cabinet opening door magnet, and the control panel controls the light on and off according to the signal. The touch sensor is that when someone touches the handle, the control panel controls the light on or off for a period of time under the touch signal.

[0029] When the refrigerator with the self-luminous refrigerator sliding door handle of the utility model is in use, first when the user closes the sliding glass door 2, the luminous door handle 3 moves with the movement of the door. When the door is close to the closed state, the second power supply component 31 (including the upper pressure plate 314 and the upper power supply contact piece 315) at the bottom of the luminous door handle 3 gradually approaches the first power supply component 12 (including the lower pressure plate 121 and the lower power supply contact piece 125) at the top of the cabinet opening 11.

[0030] As the door continues to close, the upper pressing plate 314 and the lower pressing plate 121 begin to press against each other due to the pressing force of the second spring 313 and the first spring 122. During this process, the upper power supply contact piece 315 and the lower power supply contact piece 125 gradually contact each other until they are completely attached.

[0031] Once the upper power supply contact piece 315 and the lower power supply contact piece 125 are in contact, a complete circuit is formed, so that the light source (LED light board) inside the luminous door handle 3 is turned on and starts to emit light. The light is evenly emitted through the transparent PVC material of the luminous door handle 3 and the light guide plate 4 on the top, providing an intuitive visual indication for the user.

[0032] It is worth noting that it can be divided into two states, one is that the power is turned on when the door is closed, the luminous door handle lights up, when the door is opened, the power contact position is disconnected, and the luminous door handle goes out; the other is that the power is disconnected when the door is closed, the luminous door handle goes out, when the door is opened, the power contact position is open, and the luminous door handle lights up.

[0033] At the same time, a sensor is also installed on the surface of the luminous door handle 3, which can be a distance sensor, a touch sensor or a brightness sensor. When the sensor senses a specific signal, such as the user's hand approaches or touches the door handle, or the ambient light is lower than a certain threshold, the sensor will control the lighting or brightness adjustment of the light guide plate 4 through the built-in chip.

[0034] When the user needs to open the door, as the sliding glass door 2 moves, the upper power supply contact piece 315 and the lower power supply contact piece 125 gradually separate, the circuit is disconnected, and the light source is extinguished.

[0035] However, the sensor can still adjust the lighting state of the light guide plate 4 according to the environment and user behavior to provide the best user experience. This control method is that the light guide plate 4 is continuously powered on, and a sensor is installed inside the luminous door handle 3 to receive the sensing signal. The sensor can be a distance sensor, a touch sensor or a brightness sensor. When someone touches the luminous door handle 3 or the glass door is displaced by an external force, the sensor receives the relevant signal, and the built-in controller automatically controls the light guide plate 4 to light up or extinguish. This control method can be a built-in power supply for the door handle, that is, no external power supply is required, and the above-mentioned contact power supply can also be used. It is necessary to ensure that the sliding glass door 2 always keeps the power contact and can be connected to the cabinet opening 11 during the sliding process.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the electronic components of the LED light panels, sensors, etc. in this embodiment are all universal standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art, and their structures and principles can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or through conventional experimental methods. In the idle space of this device, all the above-mentioned electrical components are connected respectively by wires. The specific connection means should refer to the working sequence between the electrical components in the above-mentioned working principle to complete the electrical connection, which are all well-known technologies in the art.

[0037] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only preferred examples of the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected. The scope of protection of the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
