Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cold storage technology, and in particular to a refrigeration device. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous improvement of living standards, refrigerators have become a household appliance owned by most families. Moreover, the intelligent development of refrigerators is rapid. In order to meet the needs of consumers with small apartments and the different needs of consumers for refrigeration and freezing capacity, temperature zone conversion refrigerators have emerged, which can freely switch between refrigeration and freezing modes.
[0003] To facilitate user operation, screen-printed patterns are set in preset areas inside the refrigerator to guide users. However, when the preset areas of the refrigerator can be switched between modes, this raises the question of how the temperature zones of the refrigerator drawers are displayed. For example, if the drawer is in the fruit and vegetable preservation mode when refrigerating, and then switched to the freezer mode, the screen-printed guidance on the drawer will be incorrect. Moreover, conventional ink screen printing cannot meet the display status of drawer functions and temperature zones in different modes, which seriously affects the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] A refrigeration device, comprising:
[0006] A housing, wherein a storage chamber is formed within the housing;
[0007] At least two screen-printed structures are provided, all of which are movably disposed within the storage chamber, and a projection area is formed on the side wall of the storage chamber, wherein any one of the screen-printed structures can project a projection onto the projection area.
[0008] The refrigeration equipment also includes a switching structure, on which all the silkscreen structures are disposed, and the switching structure can drive all the silkscreen structures to move so that any one of the silkscreen structures can form a projection on the projection area.
[0009] The switching structure includes a rotating component, which is rotatably configured, and all the screen printing structures are arranged in a ring around the rotation axis of the rotating component.
[0010] The rotating component is a spherical structure with a projection port on it. The projection port corresponds one-to-one with the silkscreen structure. The spherical structure can rotate around its center.

[0012] The refrigeration equipment also includes a control device, which is capable of acquiring the target mode of the refrigeration equipment and is electrically connected to the switching structure.
[0013] The screen printing structure includes a light source and a screen printing sheet. The light source is located on the side of the screen printing sheet away from the projection area, and the light source switches to the working state when the screen printing structure corresponds to the projection area.
[0014] The cooling device also includes a light source, the screen printing structure includes a screen printing sheet, the light source is located on one side of the projection area, and any one of the screen printing structures can be moved between the light source and the projection area.

[0031] With the continuous improvement of living standards, refrigerators have become a common household appliance for most families. Furthermore, the intelligent development of refrigerators is rapid. To address the needs of consumers in small apartments and the different requirements for refrigeration and freezing capacity, temperature-zone-converting refrigerators have emerged, allowing for free switching between refrigeration and freezing modes. For user convenience, preset areas inside the refrigerator are marked with silkscreen patterns to guide the user. However, when these preset areas can be switched between modes, a problem arises regarding how the temperature zones of the refrigerator drawers are displayed. For example, if the drawer is used for refrigeration (fruit and vegetable preservation) and then switched to freezing, the silkscreen guidance on the drawer is incorrect. Moreover, conventional ink silkscreen printing cannot accurately display the drawer functions and temperature zones in different modes, severely impacting the user experience. Therefore, this application provides a... Figures 1 to 4 The refrigeration device shown includes: a housing with a storage chamber 11 formed within it; at least two screen-printed structures 2, all of which are movably disposed within the storage chamber 11, and a projection area 12 is formed on the side wall of the storage chamber 11, whereby any one of the screen-printed structures 2 can project a shadow onto the projection area 12. By providing at least two screen-printed structures 2, the projection display on the side wall of the storage chamber 11 can be switched by changing the screen-printed structures 2, allowing the screen-printed guidance on the refrigeration device to be adjusted according to the working state of the storage chamber 11, thereby correctly guiding the user to use the storage chamber 11 to store food. This effectively overcomes the problem in the prior art where the screen-printed pattern printed on the drawer cannot be adjusted, causing guidance errors, ensuring the accuracy of the screen-printed guidance, improving the user experience, and when the user does not need the screen-printed guidance, the projection display can be turned off by turning off the screen-printed structures 2, keeping the side wall of the storage chamber 11 clean.
[0032] Specifically, when storage compartment 11 is in refrigeration mode, the corresponding silkscreen structure 2 projects a display in projection area 12, such as "Refrigeration Mode". When storage compartment 11 switches to freezing mode, the silkscreen structure 2 corresponding to the freezing mode switches to a display in projection area 12, such as "Freezing Mode". This provides users with correct guidance, ensuring proper storage and improving user experience. The projection display of silkscreen structure 2 includes, but is not limited to, "Refrigeration Mode", "Freezing Mode", "Fruit and Vegetable Freshness Preservation Chamber", and "Magic Freshness Condensation Chamber".
[0033] The refrigeration equipment also includes a switching structure, on which all the silkscreen structures 2 are disposed, and the switching structure can move all the silkscreen structures 2 so that any one of the silkscreen structures 2 can form a projection on the projection area 12. By adjusting the switching structure, each silkscreen structure 2 can move to a preset position according to the state of the storage chamber 11, thereby enabling projection display on the projection area 12 and achieving the purpose of switching the projection display.
[0034] The switching structure includes a rotating component that is rotatably mounted. All the screen-printed structures 2 are arranged in a ring around the rotation axis of the rotating component. By rotating the rotating component, the position of the screen-printed structures 2 can be adjusted, thereby achieving the purpose of switching the projection display.
[0035] Specifically, the rotating component is a spherical structure 3, which has a projection port 31. Each projection port 31 corresponds one-to-one with a screen-printed structure 2, and the spherical structure 3 can rotate around its center. The spherical structure 3 ensures reliable rotation of all screen-printed structures 2 and, due to its shape, prevents light from unused screen-printed structures 2 from affecting the projection display, thus guaranteeing a clear and accurate projection. Especially when the light source is located at the center of the spherical structure 3, the light emits light in all directions within the spherical structure 3, and only the light from the projection port 31 needs to illuminate the screen-printed structure 2 for projection. In this case, the spherical structure 3 blocks other light, achieving a clear and accurate projection display.
[0036] The switching structure further includes a driving component, and the rotating component is connected to the driving component, and the driving component can drive the rotating component to rotate. The driving component drives the rotating component to rotate, thereby achieving the switching of the silkscreen structure 2.
[0037] The refrigeration equipment also includes a control device 4, which is capable of acquiring the target mode of the refrigeration equipment and is electrically connected to the switching structure. After acquiring the target mode of the refrigeration equipment, the control device 4 determines the state of the storage chamber 11. Then, based on the matching conditions between the pre-stored state of the storage chamber 11 and the silkscreen structure 2, it controls the drive component to operate, causing the rotating component to rotate. This allows the corresponding silkscreen structure 2 to be projected and displayed in the projection area 12, thereby correctly guiding the user to use the storage chamber 11 to store food, ensuring the accuracy of the silkscreen guidance, and improving the user experience.
[0038] In one implementation, the screen printing structure 2 includes a light source 21 and a screen printing sheet 22. The light source 21 is located on the side of the screen printing sheet 22 away from the projection area 12, and the light source 21 switches to the working state when the screen printing structure 2 corresponds to the projection area 12. That is, each screen printing structure 2 has an independent light source 21. When the working state of the storage chamber 11 is determined, the screen printing structure 2 that needs to be projected is also determined. The driving component drives the rotating component to move, switching this screen printing structure 2 to the position corresponding to the projection area 12, and the light source 21 of this screen printing structure 2 starts to work. The light shines through the screen printing sheet 22 onto the projection area 12, thereby achieving the purpose of projection display. At this time, the light sources 21 of other screen printing structures 2 are all in the off state. When the working state of the storage chamber 11 is switched, the screen printing structure 2 also moves accordingly, and the light source 21 of the screen printing structure 2 is also adjusted accordingly. This can reduce the energy consumption of the cooling equipment and avoid interference from the light sources 21 of other screen printing structures 2 that do not need to be projected, ensuring clear and accurate projection display.
[0039] In another embodiment, the cooling device further includes a light source 21, and the screen printing structure 2 includes a screen printing sheet 22. The light source 21 is located on one side of the projection area 12, and any one of the screen printing structures 2 can be moved between the light source 21 and the projection area 12. The only difference from the previous embodiment is that there is only one light source 21. In this case, the light emitted by the light source 21 can illuminate all the screen printing structures 2, but only the screen printing structure 2 corresponding to the projection area 12 can allow light to pass through to achieve projection display at the projection area 12. In this case, only the position of the screen printing structure 2 needs to be adjusted, which effectively simplifies the structural complexity of the screen printing structure 2 and reduces production costs.
[0040] The screen printing sheet 22 is a film, which is a light-transmitting sheet with a pre-set pattern on it, so that it can be projected and displayed under the illumination of the light source 21.
[0041] The light source 21 includes LED lights, the color of which is adjustable. Different colors can be projected and displayed by adjusting the color of the LED lights. The colors can also be adjusted accordingly, for example, using dark blue text or patterns to indicate that the storage compartment 11 is in a deep-frozen state, using blue text or patterns to indicate that the storage compartment 11 is in a frozen state, and using light blue text or patterns to indicate that the storage compartment 11 is in a refrigerated state, thereby improving the user experience.
[0042] The light source 21 includes at least two LEDs, all of which can illuminate the screen printing sheet 22 to form a projection within the projection area 12. All of the LEDs are of different colors, and different colors of projection display can be achieved by using LEDs of different colors. Furthermore, the variety of colors of the projection display can be further increased by mixing two or more colors of LEDs, thereby further improving the user experience.
[0043] The refrigeration equipment includes a refrigerator.
[0044] The refrigerator also includes a drawer 5, which is disposed inside the housing and forms the storage chamber 11 within the housing. The projection area 12 is located on the side wall of the drawer 5 at the opening of the housing. The silkscreen structure 2 can be disposed on the rear side wall of the housing in the area where the drawer 5 is located, so that the light can be projected from the rear side of the drawer 5 to the front side of the drawer 5. Thus, on the side wall of the drawer 5 at the opening, after the user opens the opening of the housing, they can directly observe the content of the projection display from the outside of the drawer 5, thereby directly obtaining the working status of the storage chamber 11, avoiding frequent operations such as opening the drawer 5, and improving the user experience.
[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the spherical structure 3 is provided with projection port A 31 and projection port B 31. The central angle between projection port A 31 and projection port B 31 is 90°. The silkscreen structure 2 located at projection port A 31 can project onto the projection area 12 on the drawer 5, displaying "Fruit and Vegetable Freshness Chamber". When the user operates the refrigeration-freezing switching command, the control device 4 receives the switching command trigger signal, and the drive unit drives the spherical structure 3 to rotate 90° clockwise on the xoy plane, switching to projection port B 31. At this time, the silkscreen structure 2 located at projection port B 31 can project onto the projection area 12 on the drawer 5, displaying "Magic Freshness Chamber". The silkscreen sheet 22 is illuminated by LED lights and projected onto the projection area 12 to display the pattern, completing the switch from refrigeration silkscreen to freezing silkscreen.
[0046] When switching from frozen screen printing to refrigerated screen printing, the user operates the switching command, the control device 4 receives the switching command trigger signal, and the drive unit drives the spherical structure 3 to rotate 90° counterclockwise on the xoy plane to switch to projection port A 31. At this time, the screen printing structure 2 located at projection port A 31 can project the projection display of "Fruit and Vegetable Freshness Cabin" onto the projection area 12 on the drawer 5. The screen printing sheet 22 is illuminated by 2 LED lights and projected onto the projection area 12 to display the pattern, thus completing the switch from frozen screen printing to refrigerated screen printing.
[0047] When the user does not need to display the silkscreen on drawer 5, the user operates the close button, and the control device 4 receives the instruction trigger signal to turn off the LED light. At this time, the silkscreen projection is turned off, and the projection area 12 of drawer 5 is displayed as a simple surface without any pattern.
[0048] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
