[0042] In the prior art, in order to dissipate heat from the screen, heat dissipation holes are provided in the space where the screen is located, so that the space where the screen is located can communicate with the external air for heat dissipation. However, the ambient temperature where the refrigerator is located is uncontrollable. When the temperature of the environment where the refrigerator is located is too high, the heat dissipation capacity of the heat dissipation holes is low and reliable heat dissipation of the screen cannot be achieved. The screen cannot work reliably, seriously affecting the user experience. For this reason, the present application provides a Figures 1 to 7The refrigeration device shown includes: a housing within which a refrigeration compartment is formed, and the housing includes a plate body 1 that constitutes the side wall of the refrigeration compartment; a heat conduction structure 2 disposed within the plate body 1, and the heat conduction structure 2 divides the interior of the plate body 1 into a receiving cavity 11 and a heat dissipation cavity 12; a display mechanism 3 disposed within the receiving cavity 11; the heat dissipation cavity 12 has an air inlet 13 and an air outlet 14, and both the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 communicate with the refrigeration compartment. By using the heat conduction structure 2 to divide the internal space of the plate body 1, the display mechanism 3 is arranged in the receiving cavity 11, and the heat generated by the display mechanism 3 can be transferred by the heat conduction structure 2 into the heat dissipation cavity 12, and the cold air in the refrigeration compartment can enter the heat dissipation cavity 12 for heat dissipation, thus ensuring reliable heat dissipation for the display mechanism 3, overcoming the problem in the prior art that the screen cannot be reliably cooled due to too high ambient temperature, and since the temperature in the refrigeration compartment is relatively low, it can quickly dissipate heat from the display mechanism 3, improving the heat dissipation efficiency and effect of the display mechanism 3, and enhancing the user experience.

[0043] In order to achieve controllable heat dissipation for the display mechanism 3, the refrigeration device further includes a wind valve structure disposed at the air inlet 13 and / or the air outlet 14, and the wind valve structure is used to control the communication state of the air inlet 13 and / or the air outlet 14. Thus, when heat dissipation for the display mechanism 3 is required, the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 are opened, enabling the cold air in the refrigeration compartment to enter the heat dissipation cavity 12 through the air inlet 13. The cold air contacts the heat conduction structure 2, thereby taking away the heat generated by the display mechanism 3 to achieve heat dissipation and cooling of the display mechanism 3, and the cold air that has completed cooling then flows back into the refrigeration compartment through the air outlet 14, completing the circulation of the cold air.

[0044] The refrigeration device further includes a fan 4 with adjustable rotational speed, and the fan 4 is disposed within the heat dissipation cavity 12. By using the fan 4 to forcibly send the cold air in the refrigeration compartment into the heat dissipation cavity 12, the heat dissipation effect for the display mechanism 3 is ensured, and by adjusting the rotational speed of the fan 4, the heat dissipation efficiency of the display mechanism 3 can be adjusted. It can dissipate heat quickly according to the temperature of the display mechanism 3, or can be adjusted according to user needs, enhancing the user experience.

[0045] Alternatively, the fan 4 is disposed at the air inlet 13, and the suction of the fan 4 can pump the cold air in the refrigeration compartment through the air inlet 13 into the heat dissipation cavity 12, ensuring the heat dissipation effect for the display mechanism 3.

[0046] Alternatively, the fan 4 is disposed at the air outlet 14, and the suction of the fan 4 can generate negative pressure at the air inlet 13, thereby pumping the cold air in the refrigeration compartment through the air inlet 13 into the heat dissipation cavity 12, ensuring the heat dissipation effect for the display mechanism 3.

[0047] A heat-conducting material layer is provided between the heat-conducting structure 2 and the display mechanism 3. The heat-conducting material layer is used to further improve the heat transfer between the display mechanism 3 and the heat-conducting structure 2, and improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the cold air in the heat dissipation cavity 12 to the display mechanism 3. Among them, the heat-conducting material layer is heat-conducting glue, and the heat-conducting glue is filled between the display mechanism 3 and the heat-conducting structure 2 to improve the heat transfer efficiency.

[0048] Preferably, the heat-conducting structure 2 is a heat-conducting plate, and the edge of the heat-conducting plate is sealingly fitted with the inner wall of the plate body 1, so that the heat dissipation cavity 12 and the accommodating cavity 11 are completely separated. The cold air in the heat dissipation cavity 12 can only transfer the cold quantity to the display mechanism 3 through the heat-conducting plate, which not only ensures the heat dissipation efficiency of the display mechanism 3, but also avoids the loss of cold air through the accommodating cavity 11, and ensures the working reliability of the refrigeration equipment.

[0049] The refrigeration equipment further includes a control mechanism, which can obtain the real-time temperature of the display mechanism 3, and the control mechanism can control the connection state of the air inlet 13 and / or the connection state of the air outlet 14. By obtaining the real-time temperature of the display mechanism 3 through the control mechanism, if the real-time temperature of the display mechanism 3 is higher than the first preset value, it indicates that the display mechanism 3 needs to dissipate heat at this time. At this time, the control mechanism can control the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 to open, and the cold air enters the heat dissipation cavity 12 to dissipate heat to the display mechanism 3. When the real-time temperature of the display mechanism 3 is lower than the second preset value, it indicates that the display mechanism 3 does not need to dissipate heat at this time. At this time, the control mechanism can control the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 to close, and the cold air in the refrigeration compartment cannot enter the heat dissipation cavity 12 and remains completely in the refrigeration compartment for refrigeration, ensuring the working reliability of the refrigeration equipment.

[0050] The refrigeration equipment further includes a fan 4. When the real-time temperature of the display mechanism 3 is higher than the first preset value, while the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 are opened, the fan 4 starts to pump the cold air into the heat dissipation cavity 12, so as to ensure the heat dissipation effect on the display mechanism 3.

[0051] A large amount of heat is generated by the backlight element, the backlight board and the circuit board in the display mechanism 3. The temperature sensor in the control mechanism can be arranged in the accommodating cavity 11, and it is configured to detect the temperature of the backlight element or the temperature of the backlight board or the temperature of the circuit board, so as to realize the detection of the real-time temperature of the display mechanism 3.

[0052] When the user operates the refrigeration device, they need to touch the display mechanism 3 with their hands, and the temperature of the display mechanism 3 will affect the user's hands. The refrigeration device further includes a touch detection mechanism that can obtain the touch action on the display mechanism 3, and the touch detection mechanism is electrically connected to the control mechanism. When the touch detection mechanism detects that the user touches the display mechanism 3, it quickly detects the temperature of the display mechanism 3. If the temperature of the display mechanism 3 is too high, it quickly cools the display mechanism 3 to ensure the user's comfort.

[0053] As an implementation manner, the plate body 1 includes a door body. The refrigeration compartment has an opening, and the door body has a first state of closing the opening and a second state of opening the opening. The heat conduction structure 2 and the display mechanism 3 are arranged on the door body. The door body is generally located on the front of the refrigeration device. At this time, the display mechanism 3 is located on the door body, enabling the user to control the refrigeration device from the front of the refrigeration device and improving the user experience.

[0054] The door body includes a door shell and a door inner lining. The door inner lining is located on the inner side of the door shell, and the outer side of the door shell constitutes part of the outer wall surface of the refrigeration device. The door body also includes an upper end cover and a lower end cover. The upper end cover is arranged at the upper ends of the door shell and the door inner lining, and the lower end cover is arranged at the lower ends of the door shell and the door inner lining. That is, the door shell, the door inner lining, the upper end cover, and the lower end cover jointly enclose a cavity. Then, foaming agent is used for foaming in this cavity, and the foaming agent forms a foamed insulation layer. The middle part is divided into a receiving cavity 11 and a heat dissipation cavity 12. The display mechanism 3 is arranged on the display mounting rack, and then the display mechanism 3 and the display mounting rack are jointly placed into the receiving cavity 11. At this time, the display mechanism 3 can transfer heat to the heat conduction structure 2 through heat-conducting glue. A through hole for exposing the display mechanism 3 is arranged on the door shell, and an air inlet 13 and an air outlet 14 are arranged on the door inner lining. When the door body is in the first state, the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 can just communicate with the corresponding refrigeration compartment.

[0055] The refrigeration device includes a refrigerator or a freezer.

[0056] A control method for the above refrigeration device includes:

[0057] Obtain the real-time temperature t0 of the display mechanism 3;

[0058] If t0≥the first preset value t1, indicating that the display mechanism 3 needs to dissipate heat at this time, control the air inlet 13 to open and the air outlet 14 to open, and the cold air then enters the heat dissipation cavity 12 to dissipate heat from the display mechanism 3.

[0059] After if t0≥t1, control the air inlet 13 to open and the air outlet 14 to open, it further includes:

[0060] If t0 ≤ the second preset value t2, it indicates that the display mechanism 3 does not need to dissipate heat at this time. Then, control the air inlet 13 to close and the air outlet 14 to close, so that the cold air in the refrigerating compartment cannot enter the heat dissipation cavity 12 and remains completely in the refrigerating compartment for refrigeration, ensuring the working reliability of the refrigeration equipment, where t2 < t1.

[0061] When the temperature is around 35°C, the human skin generates a sense of warmth; when the temperature exceeds 45°C, a feeling of heat or even scalding is generated; when the temperature reaches 47°C, there is a pain of scald; when the temperature is greater than 50°C, blisters will be formed due to scald; if the skin is in contact with 60°C for one minute, third-degree scald will be caused. Therefore, the range of t1 is set to be from 35°C to 45°C, preferably 40°C, and the range of t2 is set to be from 25°C to 35°C, preferably 30°C.

[0062] The refrigeration equipment further includes a fan 4, and the rotation speed of the fan 4 is adjustable. Before obtaining the real-time temperature t0 of the display mechanism 3, it further includes:

[0063] Judge whether the display mechanism 3 receives a touch operation;

[0064] If so, after t0 ≥ t1, it indicates that the user needs to operate the display mechanism 3 at this time. Control the fan 4 to work according to the rotation speed set by the user. The user can increase the rotation speed of the fan 4 for rapid cooling, so as to ensure that the temperature of the display mechanism 3 will not affect the user;

[0065] If not, after t0 ≥ t1, it indicates that the user does not need to operate the display mechanism at this time. Control the fan 4 to work at a preset rotation speed, which can not only ensure the normal operation of the display mechanism 3, but also ensure the refrigeration effect of the refrigeration equipment and reduce the energy consumption of the refrigeration equipment.

[0066] If the refrigeration equipment is switched from the power-off state to the power-on state, judge the touch operation of the user within a preset time after power-on. Among them, the preset time is 15s.

[0067] If the refrigeration equipment is powered off, retain the current settings of the refrigeration equipment to ensure that when the refrigeration equipment is powered on next time, the refrigeration equipment can quickly enter the set state for work.

[0068] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the appended claims.
