[0026] Based on the following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art will become more aware of the above and other objects, advantages and features of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] Hereinafter, some specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail in an exemplary and non-limiting manner with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the accompanying drawings indicate the same or similar components or parts. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale. In the accompanying drawings:

[0033] Figure 6 yes Figure 2 Schematic top view of the upper center door trim. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the refrigerator 100 may generally include a cabinet 110 and a door 200, wherein the door 200 is used to open and close the cabinet 110. The cabinet 110 may define a refrigeration compartment and a freezer compartment.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the door body 200 may generally include a door body 210 and a door trim panel 300 . The door trim panel 300 is installed on the door body to decorate the door body 200 .

[0036] Figure 2yes Figure 1 Axonometric view of the center door trim, Figure 3 yes Figure 2 Schematic partial enlarged view of the door trim panel in Figure 4 yes Figure 3 Schematic side view of a door trim panel in an enlarged fragmentary view.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a door trim 300 for a refrigerator 100 may generally include at least one light-transmitting plate 310 and at least one light source 320 mounted on the plate 310. At least one groove 311 is formed on the front side of the plate 310. The groove 311 extends away from the light source 320, and the depth of the groove 311 at one end closer to the light source 320 is greater than the depth of the groove 311 at the end farther from the light source 320.

[0038] That is, the depths of the groove 311 at different locations are different. Figure 3 As shown, the depth of the groove 311 is greater at the end close to the light source 320. Figure 2 As shown, the depth of the groove 311 is smaller at the end away from the light source 320 .

[0039] Accordingly, the thickness of the plate 310 is smaller at a position close to the light source 320 and is larger at a position far from the light source 320 .

[0040] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, when the light source 320 moves from near to far, the light dispersion phenomenon becomes more obvious because the propagation area of the light gradually increases with increasing distance.

[0041] Furthermore, at locations farther from the light source 320, the thickness of the plate 310 is greater, resulting in a larger volume. This allows the plate 310 to receive discrete light rays, which are then refracted toward the front of the plate 310. The closer to the light source 320, the smaller the degree of light dispersion. Accordingly, the volume of the plate 310 can also be smaller, meaning the thickness of the plate 310 can be smaller, which in turn means the groove 311 has a greater depth near the light source 320.

[0042] In this embodiment, through this structural design of the plate body 310, the section of the plate body 310 away from the light source 320 can receive more discrete light, so that the entire door trim panel 300 emits uniform light as a whole, thereby improving the light and shadow effect of the door trim panel 300 and avoiding the problem of uneven light and dark on the surface of the door trim panel 300.

[0043] Furthermore, as can be seen above, the bottom surface 312 of the groove 311 is not a flat surface 313. The uneven depth of the groove 311 on the front surface of the plate 310, combined with the varying thickness of the plate 310, creates a curved bottom surface 312. Light from the light source 320 first enters the interior of the plate 310 and then passes through the curved surface to illuminate the front of the plate 310.

[0044] When light from light source 320 passes through the curved surface, it is refracted, changing its direction of propagation. Light from light source 320 passes through bottom surface 312 of groove 311 to the front side of plate 310, forming a grating with different brightness along the extending direction of groove 311.

[0045] Figure 5 yes Figure 2 Bottom view of the upper middle door trim panel, Figure 6 yes Figure 2 Top view of the upper center door trim.

[0046] like Figures 5 and 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the cross section of the groove 311 can be configured as an arc, so that the groove 311 can focus light, thereby improving the brightness of the door trim 300. By properly designing the arc radius of the cross section of the groove 311, light can be reflected and refracted multiple times while still maintaining a high utilization rate, thereby reducing light loss.

[0047] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a door trim panel 300 for a refrigerator 100 may include two strip-shaped panels 310 arranged sequentially along the length of the door trim panel 300, with at least one light source 320 positioned between the two panels 310. Placing the light source 320 between the two panels 310 more efficiently utilizes light, reducing light waste and scattering. This layout helps reduce energy consumption and improve lighting efficiency.

[0048] The length direction refers to the direction of the longer side of the plate body 310 , and the width direction refers to the direction perpendicular to the length direction, that is, the direction of the shorter side of the plate body 310 .

[0049] In this embodiment, the plate body 310 is set to be long and narrow, which can better adapt to the refrigerator 100 door body 200. In addition, the long and narrow plate body 310 has a simple and smooth appearance, which can be integrated with modern architecture and interior decoration styles, thereby improving the overall visual beauty and comfort.

[0050] like Figures 2 to 3As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, each plate 310 corresponds to at least one light source 320. Specifically, the light source 320 corresponding to each plate 310 illuminates the interior of the plate 310. The light sources 320 are arranged along the length of the plate 310, or the light sources 320 are arranged toward the front of the plate 310 so that more light can directly illuminate the bottom surface 312 of the groove 311.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, by directing light source 320 toward the front of plate 310 and directly illuminating the bottom surface 312 of recess 311, sufficient illumination of recess 311 can be ensured. This concentrated illumination helps highlight the contours and details of recess 311, enhancing the overall visual effect. Furthermore, directly illuminating the bottom surface 312 of recess 311 reduces shadows caused by light scattering or obstruction, making recess 311 and its surrounding area brighter and clearer.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, light source 320 is positioned in the middle of the width of panel 310. Placing light source 320 in the middle of panel 310 helps evenly distribute light across panel 310. This prevents light from being too strong or too weak on either side of panel 310, thereby improving the uniformity and consistency of illumination and reducing visual discomfort. Centering light source 320 allows for better light coverage of the entire panel 310, reducing light waste and scattering. This helps improve lighting efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and minimize glare and distraction caused by scattered light.

[0053] In addition, the light source 320 is arranged in the middle of the width of the board 310. This design is relatively flexible and can adapt to boards 310 of different sizes and shapes. There is no need to frequently adjust the position of the light source 320 according to the size of the board 310, which reduces the complexity of installation and maintenance.

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the door trim 300 further includes a mounting base 330 for fixing the light source 320 , and the mounting base 330 abuts against the plate body 310 to transmit the light emitted by the light source 320 to the plate body 310 .

[0055] like Figures 3 and 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the light source 320 can abut against the end of the plate 310, so that the light emitted from the light source 320 can directly enter the interior of the plate 310, thereby avoiding light loss.

[0056] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of grooves 311 are formed on the front side of the plate body 310 , and the plurality of grooves 311 are symmetrical in the width direction of the door trim 300 so that the light emitted by the light source 320 can be evenly transmitted from the door trim 300 .

[0057] The symmetrical design of grooves 311 effectively guides and disperses light. Light from light source 320 refracts when it encounters grooves 311, resulting in a more even distribution of light across the surface of plate 310. This design helps reduce light spots and glare, improving the comfort of the lighting experience.

[0058] In addition, the bilaterally symmetrical distribution of the grooves 311 not only creates a visually balanced aesthetic, but also creates a rich light and shadow effect through the refraction and reflection of light. This effect can enhance the three-dimensional sense and layering of the plate 310 and improve the overall visual effect.

[0059] In other embodiments of the present invention, multiple grooves 311 can be distributed asymmetrically on the left and right sides in the width direction of the door trim panel 300. For example, with the center line in the width direction of the plate body 310 as the dividing line, the number of grooves 311 on one side of the center line can be set to be greater, and the number of grooves 311 on the other side of the center line can be set to be less.

[0060] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that due to the asymmetrical distribution of the number of grooves 311, an asymmetrical light and shadow effect is produced when the light source 320 illuminates the plate 310. This effect can be used to emphasize or highlight a certain side of the plate 310, increasing the visual sense of layering and dynamics. The asymmetrical design of the grooves 311 allows for more precise control of the distribution and intensity of light. This helps direct light to the areas that need illumination, reduces light waste and loss, and improves the efficiency of the light source 320.

[0061] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, one end of each groove 311 close to the light source 320 extends to the same plane 313. A circular arc 314 is formed on the plane 313 as a whole, and the radius r of the circular arc 314 is selected from any value between 52 mm and 132 mm.

[0062] The appropriate radius of arc 314 allows for better dispersion and refraction of light on the arc surface. The arc shape creates a sense of fluidity and space, allowing the light from light source 320 to create a richer light and shadow effect within the space. This effect enhances the sense of layering and three-dimensionality, and strengthens the overall sense of design and artistry.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, multiple grooves 311 can be arranged adjacent to each other on the front side of the plate 310. The adjacent grooves 311 form a continuous, regular refractive surface. This refractive surface can more effectively refract light, allowing the light on the surface of the plate 310 to be more fully utilized.

[0064] Furthermore, the adjacently arranged grooves 311 can reduce the light spots and glare formed on the surface of the plate 310. This is because the continuous arrangement of the grooves 311 makes the light more uniform and soft during the reflection process, reducing the sudden change and concentration of the light.

[0065] In other embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of grooves 311 may also be arranged at a certain distance on the front side of the plate 310 .

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, the distance a between the arc 314 and the back of the plate 310 is selected from a value between 8 mm and 13 mm. The distance between the arc 314 and the back of the plate 310 refers to the distance between the point on the arc 314 closest to the back of the plate 310 and the back of the plate 310. This distance is also the minimum thickness of the plate 310. Setting the minimum thickness of the plate 310 within this range ensures structural stability while also meeting light transmission requirements. Furthermore, setting the minimum thickness of the plate 310 within this range can also meet the requirements of concealing the light source 320.

[0067] like Figures 3 to 4 As shown, the light source 320 is disposed at the end of the groove 311 with a greater depth, that is, the light source 320 is disposed at the end of the plate 310 with a smaller thickness, and the light source 320 needs to irradiate light into the interior of the plate 310. Therefore, the minimum thickness of the plate 310 must not be too small to meet the requirement that the light source 320 can irradiate light into the interior of the plate 310.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, the plate 310 can be made of PMMA material, which has the advantages of high transparency, resistance to aging, and lightness. The plate 310 made of PMMA material can effectively transmit the light emitted by the light source 320, is not easily aged, and is relatively durable.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, the light source 320 may be a spotlight, which is a focused lamp that emits a strong, concentrated beam of light. Furthermore, the light source 320 may be a 5W mixed-color spotlight. The light source 320 may also be an incandescent lamp, a fluorescent lamp, or other light source. The placement of the light source 320 in the door trim 300 of the refrigerator 100 not only serves to decorate the refrigerator 100 but also provides other functionalities.

[0070] Specifically, a light source 320 is provided in the door trim 300 to provide illumination. When the refrigerator 100 door is opened, the door trim 300 automatically illuminates, providing sufficient illumination for the front of the refrigerator 100, allowing the user to clearly see the door handle. This is particularly important in dimly lit kitchens or when using the refrigerator 100 at night. If the refrigerator 100 door is not completely closed, the door trim 300 may remain illuminated, serving as a reminder to the user. This helps prevent the temperature inside the refrigerator 100 from rising, protecting the freshness and safety of food.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, the groove 311 extends away from the light source 320 to the other end of the plate 310 (the end corresponding to the light source 320), thereby extending the entire plate 310. The presence of the groove 311 can scatter light as it passes through the plate 310, resulting in a more uniform light distribution. This scattering effect helps reduce glare caused by direct light, while also increasing the range and uniformity of light exposure, thereby enhancing the lighting effect.

[0072] In addition, the groove 311 is provided on the front side of the plate 310, which actually increases the surface area of the plate 310, helps to increase the contact area between light and the plate 310, thereby improving the efficiency of light absorption, reflection or transmission.

[0073] In other embodiments of the present invention, the groove 311 can extend to any position of the plate body 310 in a direction away from the light source 320, so that a groove 311 is formed on a portion of the front side surface of the plate body 310, and another portion of the front side surface of the plate body 310 is a plane 313.

[0074] The presence of grooves 311 alters the light's propagation path, scattering and diffusing it as it passes through, helping to distribute the light more evenly within the grooves 311 area. In contrast, light propagation through flat surfaces 313 is more direct, making it more suitable for applications requiring high brightness or straight-line light propagation. This design allows the plate 310 to meet varying lighting requirements in different areas.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, a light trough is provided at one end of the plate 310 near the light source 320. The light trough is a groove recessed inward from the end of the plate 310, so that the light source 320 can be disposed in the light trough. Placing the light source 320 in the light trough avoids occupying excessive space on the door 200 of the refrigerator 100.

[0076] The light trough can be formed by a first wall and a second wall at a certain angle. The light source 320 can be arranged on the first wall, and a reflective layer can be arranged on the second wall, wherein the reflective layer can reflect the light source 320. By arranging the light source 320 on the first wall, the reflective coating on the second wall can reflect the light from the light source 320 installed on the first wall, thereby illuminating the direction in which the reflective coating is facing. This saves the number of light sources 320 used and at the same time ensures that the light emitted by the light source 320 can radiate into the interior of the plate 310 to the greatest extent possible.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, the light source 320 may be disposed on the second wall surface, and a reflective layer may be disposed on the first wall surface. Alternatively, the light source 320 may be disposed on both the first wall surface and the second wall surface, and the reflective layer may be disposed on both the first wall surface and the second wall surface. In this way, the reflective layer can reflect the light emitted by the light source 320 mounted on the first wall surface and the second wall surface toward the outside of the plate body 310, thereby ensuring that the light emitted by the light source 320 can be radiated into the interior of the plate body 310 to the greatest extent possible.

[0078] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the door body 200 may include a door body 210 and any of the above-mentioned door trim panels 300, and the door trim panel 300 is mounted on the door body 210. Specifically, the door trim panel 300 may be disposed on a side away from the pivot end of the door body 210, and the door trim panel 300 may be arranged along the length direction of the door body 210, and the length of the door trim panel 300 may be consistent with the length of the door body 210.

[0079] In other embodiments of the present invention, the door trim panel 300 may be disposed at any position in the width direction of the door body 210 .

[0080] In other embodiments of the present invention, the length of the door trim 300 may be smaller than the length of the door body 210 .

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, the door trim 300 may be arranged along the width direction of the door body 210 .

[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, the refrigerator 100 may include a cabinet 110 and the aforementioned door 200 , where the door 200 is used to open and close the cabinet 110 .
