[0046] The first charging contact 4 is arranged on the contact surface of the charging base 2 exposed from the door body 1 to charge the display device to be charged, and the contact charging mode can reduce the heat accumulation caused by the wireless coil charging and avoid the heating problem caused by the wireless charging.
[0047] The through hole is arranged on the door body 1 of the refrigerator to facilitate the charging base 2 to pass through, so that the side surface in contact with the display device to be charged is exposed, and the display device to be charged outside the door body 1 is facilitated to be in contact with the charging base 2. The contact charging mode is equivalent to wired charging, which reduces the coil structure of the wireless charging and avoids the heat generation problem during the coil charging.
[0048] In some embodiments,
[0049] The display device to be charged includes a tablet computer 7, and the back surface of the tablet computer 7 is provided with a second charging contact corresponding to the charging contact.
[0050] The display device to be charged can be a tablet computer 7 or other display screen that needs to be charged. In the present application, the display device to be charged is a tablet computer 7, which is mainly used to display the internal information of the refrigerator and control the refrigerator.
[0051] The first charging contact 4 on the charging base 2 is in contact with the second charging contact on the back surface of the tablet computer 7 to complete the connection of the entire charging circuit. Specifically, the back surface of the tablet computer 7 is provided with a positive electrode 72 of the second charging contact and a negative electrode 74 of the second charging contact, and the charging base 2 is also provided with two first charging contacts 4 corresponding to the two electrodes.
[0052] In some embodiments,
[0053] The contact surface is provided with a magnet 3 for magnetically connecting the tablet computer 7.
[0054] The magnet 3 is arranged on the contact surface to facilitate the fixation of the tablet computer 7, especially through magnetic attraction. This facilitates the contact between the tablet computer 7 and the charging base 2 and the removal of the tablet computer 7 from the charging base 2.
[0055] In some embodiments,
[0056] The contact surface and the outer wall surface of the door body 1 are flush.
[0057] The contact surface of the charging base 2 and the outer wall surface of the door body 1 are flush, so that the recess for accommodating the tablet computer 7 does not need to be arranged on the door body 1, and the appearance of the entire door body 1 is improved, especially when the tablet computer 7 is removed.
[0058] In some embodiments,
[0059] The through hole and the contact surface are both circular and are matched.
[0060] In the structure where the contact surface is flush with the outer wall surface, the shape and size of the contact surface are consistent with the through hole, and the contact surface fills the missing wall surface at the through hole.
[0061] In particular, the contact surface and the through hole are both circular, which is convenient for manufacturing and assembling.
[0062] In some embodiments,
[0063] The refrigerator display assembly further comprises a driving member arranged inside the door body 1, which is used to drive the charging base 2 to rotate, so that the tablet computer 7 follows at least two working positions: horizontal screen position and vertical screen position.
[0064] A driving member, such as a motor 6, is arranged inside the door body 1, which is used to drive the charging base 2 to rotate. The charging base 2 fixes the tablet computer 7 by magnetic attraction. Thus, the rotation of the motor 6 enables the tablet computer 7 to be at least in the horizontal screen position as shown in Figure 4 , or in the vertical screen position as shown in Figure 5 , which is convenient for viewing and operation.
[0065] In some embodiments,
[0066] The contact surface is further provided with a first signal contact 5, and the tablet computer 7 is provided with a second signal contact 73. The first signal contact 5 and the second signal contact 73 are correspondingly arranged in contact, so that the tablet computer 7 and the refrigerator perform signal transmission.
[0067] The first signal contact 5 is further arranged on the contact surface, which is used to connect the second signal contact 73 on the tablet computer 7, so that the tablet computer 7 and the refrigerator perform signal transmission, which is beneficial for reading internal data of the refrigerator by the tablet computer 7 and for controlling the refrigerator.
[0068] In some embodiments,
[0069] The first charging contact 4 and the first signal contact 5 are both provided with two, and the two first charging contacts 4 are located outside the two first signal contacts 5. The second charging contact and the second signal contact 73 are both provided with two, and the two second charging contacts are located outside the two second signal contacts 73.
[0070] The contact surface of the charging base 2 is provided with two first charging contacts 4 and two first signal contacts 5, and the back surface of the tablet computer 7 is provided with two second charging contacts and two second signal contacts 73, which are arranged in the same way on the respective parts, that is, the charging contacts are outside the signal contacts, so that misalignment does not occur during the docking process.
[0071] According to another aspect of the present application, a refrigerator is provided, which comprises the refrigerator display assembly as described above.
[0072] The refrigerator of the present application adopts the magnetic charging base 2 and the motor 6 for controlling the rotation of the charging base 2, which are directly embedded in the interior of the refrigerator door body 1, so that the surface of the charging base 2 is flush with the panel of the door body 1. This not only avoids the large-area sunken opening groove on the panel of the refrigerator door body 1, but also enables the tablet computer 7 to be adsorbed on the charging base 2 and freely switched between the horizontal and vertical screen states, thereby solving the problem that the sunken groove type base can only realize a fixed single screen state.
[0073] Compared with the wireless charging method, the metal contact method is used in the present application to achieve a better solution for charging the battery of the tablet computer 7. In terms of charging power, the charging method used in the present application can achieve higher charging power, and can also avoid the heating problem of the wireless charging coil during long-term use and the derivative design problem of adding a heat dissipation air duct structure to solve the heating problem.
[0074] The positions of the magnets 3 on the back of the tablet computer 7 and the contacts on the charging base 2 correspond to the positions of the charging base 2 provided on the refrigerator door body 1. The magnets 3 are used to adsorb and fix the tablet computer 7, the positive and negative poles of the charging contacts are used for power supply, and the other two signal contacts are used for battery capacity detection and tablet computer 7 contact state detection, respectively.
[0075] When the main control system of the refrigerator detects that the tablet computer 7 is adsorbed to the base through the signal contacts, it will simultaneously detect the battery capacity of the tablet computer 7. If the battery capacity detection feedback is low, charging will start until the battery capacity is full. In addition, the switching of the horizontal and vertical screen states of the tablet computer 7 needs the signal detection contacts to detect the adsorption state to allow the refrigerator main control system to control the brushless motor 6.
[0076] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the above-mentioned embodiments can be freely combined and superimposed without conflict.
[0077] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application. The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the technical principles of the present application, a number of improvements and variations can be made, and these improvements and variations should be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
