[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of food management, and specifically provides an intelligent food management device and a refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] With the development of society, many families are equipped with refrigerators to keep food fresh. The food in the refrigerator can be kept fresh by the low temperature environment created by the refrigerator.

[0003] Normally, there are many ingredients in the refrigerator. In order to facilitate users to obtain information about the ingredients in the refrigerator in a timely manner (such as type, shelf life, etc.), some refrigerators are also equipped with intelligent food management devices, and some manufacturers provide intelligent food management devices that can be applied to refrigerators. The intelligent food management device has an electronic tag that represents the food information, so that the refrigerator can read the food information represented by the electronic tag on the intelligent food management device through the electronic tag reading and writing device on it or an independent electronic tag reading and writing device, and present it to the user through an information display device such as a display screen, so that the user can know the information about the ingredients in the refrigerator.

[0021] Based on the foregoing description, those skilled in the art will understand that, in the aforementioned technical solution of the present invention, by configuring at least one of the first fixing mechanism and the second fixing mechanism as two parts that can rotate relative to each other, the two parts can be opened and folded relative to each other, thereby controlling or preventing the first fixing mechanism and the second fixing mechanism from rotating relative to each other. In other words, when the two parts are relatively open, the intelligent food management device of the present invention is no different from a traditional scissor-type clamp and can be opened and closed normally; when the two parts are relatively folded, at least one of the first fixing mechanism and the second fixing mechanism becomes shorter, and the force required for relative opening becomes greater, or there is a lack of a force point, so that it will not open relative to each other even if accidentally touched by the user.

[0022] Furthermore, by making the first fixing mechanism include a first clamping member and a first movable member, and making the first movable member rotatably connected to the first clamping member, the first fixing mechanism can be opened and folded by the rotation of the first movable member.

[0024] Furthermore, by locating the first protrusion and the head of the first clamping member on both sides of the rotation axis between the first clamping member and the first movable member, respectively, the abutment force point of the first movable member on the first clamping member is located on one side of the opening direction of the first clamping member, thereby allowing the user to drive the first movable member to rotate with only a small force.

[0025] Furthermore, by rotatably connecting the first clamping member, the first movable member and the second fixing mechanism together via the first rotating shaft, the structure of the intelligent food management device is effectively simplified and the production cost of the intelligent food management device is reduced.

[0026] Furthermore, by making the second fixing mechanism include a second clamping member and a second movable member, and making the second movable member rotatably connected to the second clamping member, the second fixing mechanism can also be opened and folded by the rotation of the second movable member.

[0027] Furthermore, by providing a slot and a card slot on the outer shell of the second fixing mechanism, and providing a tongue and a buckle on the inner shell of the second fixing mechanism, the outer shell and the inner shell are fixed, so that the outer shell and the inner shell can be assembled together without the aid of other fixing components and tools, making installation more convenient.

[0028] Furthermore, by providing a raised operating portion on the outer shell, the user can lift the entire intelligent food management device through the operating portion to avoid slipping.

[0029] Other beneficial effects of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can more clearly understand the improved purposes, features and advantages of the present invention.

[0050] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only a portion of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments of the present invention. These embodiments are intended to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Based on the embodiments provided by the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0051] It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer" indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. This is merely for ease of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or element described must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be understood as limiting the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0052] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a communication between the two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances. For example, the terms "install", "connect", "connect", and "fix", unless otherwise specified, can specifically refer to any feasible connection form such as bolt connection, screw connection, welding, plug-in connection, riveting, welding, and clamping.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the intelligent food management device 001 includes a first fixing mechanism 100, a second fixing mechanism 200 and an electronic tag 300 for representing food information.

[0054] The first fixing mechanism 100 is rotatably connected to the second fixing mechanism 200 so that the first fixing mechanism 100 and the second fixing mechanism 200 are fixed to the target food 002 by clamping (eg Figure 4 shown).

[0055] It should be noted that the target food 002 can be the food itself, such as beef, vegetables, drinks, etc., or it can be a bag, box, basket, etc. containing the aforementioned food itself, or it can be a rope, label, belt, etc. connected to the aforementioned food itself.

[0056] Furthermore, at least one of the first fixing mechanism 100 and the second fixing mechanism 200 includes two parts that can rotate relative to each other, so that the two parts can be relatively opened and folded, thereby controlling or preventing the first fixing mechanism 100 and the second fixing mechanism 200 from rotating relative to each other.

[0057] Furthermore, at least one of the first fixing mechanism 100 and the second fixing mechanism 200 is provided with an electronic tag 300 .

[0058] In the present invention, the electronic tag 300 is an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag or an NFC (Near Field Communication) tag. Of course, those skilled in the art can also set the electronic tag 300 to any feasible form such as Bluetooth or HFID (Passive Capacitive Coupled Identification) as needed.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, by configuring at least one of the first fixing mechanism 100 and the second fixing mechanism 200 as two relatively rotatable parts, the two parts can be opened and folded relative to each other, thereby controlling or preventing relative rotation of the first fixing mechanism 100 and the second fixing mechanism 200. In other words, when the two parts are relatively open, the intelligent food management device 001 of the present invention is no different from a traditional scissor-type clamp and can be opened and closed normally; when the two parts are relatively folded, at least one of the first fixing mechanism 100 and the second fixing mechanism 200 becomes shorter, requiring greater force for relative opening, or lacking a force point, so that it will not open relative to each other even if accidentally touched by the user.

[0060] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first fixing mechanism 100 includes a first clamping member 110 and a first movable member 120 .

[0061] The first clamping member 110 is rotatably connected to the second fixing mechanism 200 to clamp the target food 002 (such as Figure 4 shown).

[0062] The first movable member 120 is rotatably connected to the first clamping member 110 and can be rotated to a first open position (eg, Figures 2 to 4 ) and a first folded position (as shown) overlapping the first clamping member 110 Figure 1 shown).

[0063] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that by making the first fixing mechanism 100 include a first clamping member 110 and a first movable member 120 , and making the first movable member 120 rotatably connected to the first clamping member 110 , the first fixing mechanism 100 can be opened and folded by the rotation of the first movable member 120 .

[0064] Continue reading Figures 1 to 6In some embodiments of the present invention, the first clamping member 110 is rotatably connected to the root of the first movable member 120 through its root to improve the structural utilization efficiency of the first clamping member 110 and the first movable member 120.

[0065] Continue reading Figures 1 to 6 In some embodiments of the present invention, the first clamping member 110 is provided with a first protrusion 111 at its root, and the first movable member 120 is provided with a first avoidance cavity 121 at its root for avoiding the first protrusion 111. When the first movable member 120 is in the first folded position, the side wall of the first avoidance cavity 121 abuts against the first protrusion 111 (e.g., Figure 3 shown).

[0066] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that by providing the first clamping member 110 with a first protrusion 111 at its root, and providing the first movable member 120 with a first avoidance cavity 121 at its root for avoiding the first protrusion 111, the first movable member 120 in the first folding position can abut against the first protrusion 111 through the side wall of the first avoidance cavity 121, thereby ensuring both the driving effect of the first movable member 120 on the first clamping member 110 and the folding effect of the first movable member 120 and the first clamping member 110.

[0067] from Figures 1 to 6 It can be seen that in some embodiments of the present invention, the sides where the first protrusion 111 and the first avoidance cavity 121 abut against each other are both inclined surfaces to increase the contact area between the two, effectively preventing indentations or wear that are easily caused by the small contact area.

[0068] from Figures 1 to 6 It can also be seen that in some embodiments of the present invention, the first protrusion 111 and the head of the first clamping member 110 are respectively located at the rotation axis between the first clamping member 110 and the first movable member 120 (such as Figure 4 In this way, the point of force applied by the first movable member 120 against the first clamping member 110 is located on one side of the opening direction of the first clamping member 110, thereby allowing the user to drive the first movable member 120 to rotate the first clamping member 110 with only a small force.

[0069] from Figures 1 to 6 It can also be seen that in some embodiments of the present invention, the first avoidance cavity 121 and the head of the first movable member 120 are located on the rotation axis between the first clamping member 110 and the first movable member 120 (eg Figure 4 on the same side as the dotted line in the figure so that Figure 1The first movable member 120 in the first folded position shown in FIG. 1 can be fitted together with the first clamping member 110 .

[0070] from Figures 1 to 6 It can also be seen that in some embodiments of the present invention, the first clamping member 110 is rotatably connected to the middle part of the second fixing mechanism 200 through its root, so that a part of the second fixing mechanism 200 corresponds to the first clamping member 110 and jointly clamps the target food 002; and another part of the second fixing mechanism 200 corresponds to the first movable member 120 for the user to press, thereby opening the first clamping member 110.

[0071] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the intelligent food management device 001 further includes a first rotating shaft 410 , so that the first clamping member 110 , the first movable member 120 and the second fixing mechanism 200 are rotatably connected together through the first rotating shaft 410 .

[0072] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that by rotatably connecting the first clamping member 110, the first movable member 120 and the second fixing mechanism 200 together via the first rotating shaft 410, the structure of the intelligent food management device 001 is effectively simplified and the production cost of the intelligent food management device 001 is reduced.

[0073] Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also, as needed, rotatably connect the first clamping member 110 and the first movable member 120 together through a rotating shaft, and rotatably connect the first clamping member 110 and the second fixing mechanism 200 together through another rotating shaft.

[0074] from Figure 5 and Figure 6 As can be seen in some embodiments of the present invention, the first clamping member 110 and the first movable member 120 are respectively provided with a shaft hole (not marked in the figure) for installing the first shaft 410.

[0075] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the intelligent food management device 001 further includes an elastic member 500 , which is used to provide a force for clamping the target food 002 to the first fixing mechanism 100 and the second fixing mechanism 200 .

[0076] from Figure 5 and Figure 6 It can be seen that in some embodiments of the present invention, the elastic member 500 is a torsion spring, and one end of the torsion spring abuts against the first clamping member 110 , and the other end abuts against the second fixing mechanism 200 .

[0077] Specifically, the first clamping member 110 is provided with a first positioning groove 112 at the first protruding portion 111 to position and clamp one end of the torsion spring.

[0078] In addition, on the premise that the first fixing mechanism 100 and the second fixing mechanism 200 can clamp the target food 002, those skilled in the art may also, as needed, set the elastic member 500 to any other feasible structure, such as a compression spring, a tension spring, a V-shaped spring sheet, an elastic sheet integrally made with the first fixing mechanism 100 or the second fixing mechanism 200, etc.

[0079] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, especially Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the second fixing mechanism 200 includes an outer shell 210 and an inner shell 220 , and the electronic tag 300 is installed between the outer shell 210 and the inner shell 220 .

[0080] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a slot 211 is provided at one end of the outer shell 210, and slots 212 are provided on both sides of the outer shell 210 adjacent to the one end. The inner shell 220 is provided with a tongue 221 that matches the slot 211 and a buckle 222 that matches the slot 212. The tongue 221 is inserted into the slot 211, and the buckle 222 is inserted into the slot 212 to secure the outer shell 210 and the inner shell 220 together.

[0081] During installation, the tongue 221 of the inner shell 220 is first inserted into the slot 211 of the outer shell 210. The inner shell 220 is then pressed into the outer shell 210, causing the buckle 222 of the inner shell 220 to engage with the slot 212 of the outer shell 210, thereby securing the outer shell 210 and the inner shell 220 together. As can be seen, the outer shell 210 and the inner shell 220 can be assembled together without the need for other fixing components or tools, making installation more convenient.

[0082] In addition, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also dispose the card slot 212 on the other end of the housing 210 opposite to the slot 211 as needed.

[0083] Continue reading Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments of the present invention, the inner shell 220 is provided with an escape hole 2201 and a second positioning groove 2202. The escape hole 2201 passes through the inner shell 220. The second positioning groove 2202 is located on the side of the inner shell 220 facing the outer shell 210 and is connected to the escape hole 2201, so that the other end of the torsion spring passes through the escape hole 2201 and is embedded in the second positioning groove 2202.

[0084] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a first accommodating cavity 213 is provided on the outer shell 210, and a second accommodating cavity 2203 corresponding to the first accommodating cavity 213 is provided on the inner shell 220. The first accommodating cavity 213 and the second accommodating cavity 2203 are used to accommodate the electronic tag 300.

[0085] Of course, those skilled in the art may also omit at least one of the first accommodating cavity 213 and the second accommodating cavity 2203 as needed.

[0086] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the second fixing mechanism 200 also includes a connecting arm 230 fixedly connected to or integrally made with the inner shell 220, and the connecting arm 230 is provided with a rotating shaft hole (not marked in the figure) adapted to the first rotating shaft 410, so that the second fixing mechanism 200 is rotatably connected to the first clamping member 110 and the first movable member 120 through the connecting arm 230.

[0087] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a protruding operating portion 2101 is provided on one end of the housing 210 away from the first clamping member 110 and on a side close to or away from the first clamping member 110 .

[0088] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, by providing a raised operating portion 2101 on the housing 210 , the user can lift the entire intelligent food management device 001 through the operating portion 2101 to avoid slipping.

[0089] Furthermore, those skilled in the art may also provide anti-slip grooves on the operating portion 2101 as needed.

[0090] Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also omit the operation unit 2101 as needed.

[0091] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 4 The following briefly describes the method of using the intelligent food management device 001 in some embodiments of the present invention.

[0092] First, the first movable member 120 is moved from Figure 1 The first folded position shown in FIG is flipped to Figure 2 and Figure 3Then, the first movable member 120 and the second fixing mechanism 200 are pressed, so that the head of the first movable member 120 and the second fixing mechanism 200 are close to each other, thereby moving the head of the first clamping member 110 and the second fixing mechanism 200 away from each other. After placing the target food 002 between the head of the first clamping member 110 and the second fixing mechanism 200, the first movable member 120 is released. Finally, the first movable member 120 is moved from Figures 2 to 4 The first open position shown is flipped to Figure 1 The first folded position shown is sufficient.

[0093] It should be noted that the intelligent food management device 001 of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned Figures 1 to 8 The one described above can also be any other feasible form. Those skilled in the art can make appropriate adjustments to the smart food management device 001 described above according to actual needs. For example, the smart food management device 001 described above is set to Figures 9 to 11 The form shown.

[0094] Refer to the following Figures 9 to 11 , a brief description of the intelligent food management device 001 is given.

[0095] It should be noted that for the convenience of description and to enable those skilled in the art to quickly understand the technical solution of the present invention, only Figures 9 to 11 The intelligent food management device 001 shown in Figures 1 to 8 The differences between the smart food management device 001 shown in FIG are described in detail. For the similarities, please refer to the above description.

[0096] Figures 9 to 11 Other embodiments shown, with Figures 1 to 8 The difference between some embodiments shown in the figure lies in the second fixing mechanism 200. In short, the second fixing mechanism 200 is the same as the first fixing mechanism 100 described above, and is also configured to include two parts that can rotate relative to each other. The details are as follows:

[0097] like Figures 9 to 11 As shown, in some other embodiments of the present invention, the second fixing mechanism 200 includes a second clamping member 240 and a second movable member 250. The second clamping member 240 is rotatably connected to the first fixing mechanism 100 to clamp the target food 002 together with the first clamping member 110.
