[0042] In related technologies, the door opening mechanism of refrigeration equipment such as refrigerators usually includes a non-concealed push mechanism such as a push rod or slider. The door opens automatically by contacting the door body through the push mechanism. However, the noise during the opening process is relatively loud, which affects the user experience.

[0043] This application provides a door opening system and a refrigeration device to solve the problem of excessive noise generated when opening the door of existing refrigeration devices. The following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-5 Please provide an explanation.

[0044] The refrigeration equipment door opening system provided in this application embodiment is referenced. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a housing 100, a door 200, and a power supply device 300. The housing 100 is equipped with a first electromagnetic coil assembly 110. The door 200 is rotatably mounted on the housing 100 and is equipped with a second electromagnetic coil assembly 210. The second electromagnetic coil assembly 210 is arranged corresponding to the first electromagnetic coil assembly 110. The power supply device 300 is used to supply power to the first electromagnetic coil assembly 110 and the second electromagnetic coil assembly 210 when the door 200 needs to be opened. The magnetic poles of the first electromagnetic coil assembly 110 and the second electromagnetic coil assembly 210 are the same on the side that is close to each other.

[0045] It is understood that in this embodiment, the electromagnetic coil assembly may include a coil and a magnetic material, and a magnetic field is generated around the coil when current flows through it. The polarity of the magnetic field can be controlled by controlling the direction of the current.

[0046] Based on the principle of magnetic repulsion between like poles and attraction between unlike poles, the first electromagnetic coil assembly 110 and the second electromagnetic coil assembly 210 are powered when the door 200 is opened. This causes the magnetic poles on the sides of the first electromagnetic coil assembly 110 and the second electromagnetic coil assembly 210 that are close to each other to be the same, thereby generating a repulsive force. When the repulsive force is large enough, it can push the door 200 to rotate, thus opening the door. Since no mechanical parts directly contact the door 200 during the opening process, no noise caused by friction or impact is generated, resulting in a quieter opening sound and providing users with a smoother and quieter door opening experience. Furthermore, it reduces wear on the housing 100 or the door 200 caused by mechanical contact, improving the system's service life.

[0047] For example, the power supply device 300 may include two power supplies, which are respectively located in the housing 100 and the door 200, and respectively supply power to the first electromagnetic coil assembly 110 and the second electromagnetic coil assembly. The power supply on the door 200 can be routed through the door hinge to the inside of the door 200 to reduce damage to the wiring during the opening and closing of the door; the wiring of the power supply on the housing 100 can be routed through the outer shell of the housing 100.

[0048] In one optional embodiment, there are multiple first electromagnetic coil assemblies 110 and second electromagnetic coil assemblies 210, and the first electromagnetic coil assemblies 110 and the second electromagnetic coil assemblies 210 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0049] For example, by assembling multiple electromagnetic coil assemblies on the door 200 and the housing 100, the force generated when opening the door can be more evenly distributed across the door 200. Each first electromagnetic coil assembly 110 needs to precisely correspond to a second electromagnetic coil assembly 210 on the door 200 to ensure that the magnetic lines of force they generate are correctly aligned and produce a repulsive force. Multiple electromagnetic coil assemblies can generate a larger total repulsive force, ensuring that the door 200 can be opened smoothly. When one electromagnetic coil assembly fails, the others can still operate, ensuring that the basic functions of the door opening system are not affected and improving system reliability.

[0050] Optionally, multiple electromagnetic coil assemblies can be controlled independently or uniformly.

[0051] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the rotating side 201 of the door 200 is rotatably connected to the housing 100, and the second electromagnetic coil assembly 210 is installed on the side of the door 200 away from the rotating side 201.

[0052] In this embodiment, the rotating side 201 of the door 200 refers to the side of the door 200 that is hinged to the housing 100. Since the second electromagnetic coil assembly 210 is installed on the door 200 away from the rotating side 201, the repulsive force they generate can form a large torque. Only a small repulsive force is needed to open the door 200, reducing energy consumption. Moreover, the large torque helps the door 200 to open smoothly, reducing shaking and instability when opening the door.

[0053] For example, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first electromagnetic coil assembly 110 includes a first iron core 112 and a first coil 111 wound around the first iron core 112, and the second electromagnetic coil assembly 210 includes a second iron core 212 and a second coil 211 wound around the second iron core 212; during the opening of the door 200, the magnetic poles of the first iron core 112 and the second iron core 212 on the side that are close to each other are the same.

[0054] The power supply device 300 can supply power to the first coil 111 and the second coil 211, thereby generating a magnetic field around the first iron core 112 and the second iron core 212. Since the magnetic poles of the magnetic fields on the sides of the first iron core 112 and the second iron core 212 that are close to each other are the same, according to the principle that like magnetic poles repel each other, the first iron core 112 and the second iron core 212 will push each other away. This repulsive force acts on the door 200, thereby pushing the door 200 to open, realizing the non-contact opening of the door 200.

[0055] For example, the materials of the first iron core 112 and the second iron core 212 may include, but are not limited to, ferrite, silicon steel, soft magnetic alloy, ferrite nanoparticles, ferrite boron magnets, etc., and this embodiment does not specifically limit them.

[0056] In one optional implementation, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the axis of the first iron core 112 and the axis of the second iron core 212 are on the same straight line, so that the magnetic fields generated by the first iron core 112 and the second iron core 212 are parallel and symmetrical in space. Due to the alignment of the axes, the repulsive force of the magnetic field will be transmitted along the axis direction, thereby pushing the door 200 more effectively.

[0057] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the refrigeration equipment door opening system also includes a first mounting box 120 and a second mounting box 220. The first mounting box 120 is installed on the cabinet 100, and the first electromagnetic coil assembly 110 is installed inside the first mounting box 120. The second mounting box 220 is installed on the door 200, and the second electromagnetic coil assembly 210 is installed inside the second mounting box 220.

[0058] By installing the electromagnetic coil assembly within its corresponding mounting box, it can be protected from external physical damage such as impacts, dust, and other environmental factors, thus extending its lifespan. Furthermore, the electromagnetic coil assembly can be concealed within the mounting box, enabling a discreet design for the door opening system. The mounting box can be designed to harmonize with the overall appearance of the refrigerator, enhancing the product's aesthetics. The electromagnetic coil assembly can be modularly installed within the mounting box, facilitating installation and maintenance.

[0059] Understandably, the size and shape of the mounting box can be designed to match the size and shape of the electromagnetic coil assembly; for example, the mounting box can be square or cylindrical.

[0060] Optionally, the mounting box can be designed with heat dissipation capabilities, such as by providing ventilation holes or equipping it with heat-dissipating material to prevent overheating of the electromagnetic coil assembly. Optionally, a shielding component can also be installed inside the mounting box to shield against electromagnetic interference.

[0061] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, first limiting members 121 are provided on opposite sides (e.g., left and right sides, top and bottom sides, or all sides) inside the first mounting box 120. The first limiting members 121 are used to fix the first coil 111 of the first electromagnetic coil assembly 110, thereby preventing the first coil 111 from being displaced under the action of electromagnetic force, and ensuring the stability and long-term reliability of the first electromagnetic coil assembly 110.

[0062] In another alternative implementation, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the second mounting box 220 is provided with second limiting members 221 on both opposite sides. The second limiting members 221 are used to fix the second coil 211 of the second electromagnetic coil assembly 210, and can also prevent the second coil 211 from being displaced under the action of electromagnetic force, so as to ensure the stability and long-term reliability of the second electromagnetic coil assembly 210.

[0063] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the first mounting box 120 and the second mounting box 220 are respectively installed on the outside of the housing 100 and the door 200, for example, on the top or bottom of the outside of the housing 100 and the door 200, so as to avoid affecting the internal space of the refrigeration equipment and to help the heat dissipation of the first electromagnetic coil assembly 110 and the second electromagnetic coil assembly 210.

[0064] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the first mounting box 120 is embedded in the cabinet 100, and the second mounting box 220 is embedded in the door 200. The embedded hidden design makes the refrigerator appearance smoother and more beautiful, and can also better protect the electromagnetic coil components, reduce the influence of the external environment, and help improve the overall integration of the system, making the structure of the refrigeration equipment more compact.

[0065] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the refrigeration equipment door opening system also includes a controller 400 and a door opening trigger. The controller 400 is located in the cabinet 100. The controller 400 is configured to control the power supply device 300 to supply power to the first electromagnetic coil assembly 110 and the second electromagnetic coil assembly 210 when a door opening signal is received. The door opening trigger is used to send a door opening signal to the controller 400.

[0066] The door opening trigger is the interface through which the user interacts with the door opening system. It can be a button, touchscreen, gesture recognition device, voice recognition device, smart lock, or other sensor used to send an opening signal to the controller 400. The opening signal can be an optical signal, electrical signal, voice signal, or image signal, etc. Users can trigger the door to open with simple operations, improving ease of use.

[0067] The refrigeration equipment door opening system provided in this application includes a housing 100, a door 200, and a power supply device 300. The housing 100 is equipped with a first electromagnetic coil assembly 110. The door 200 is rotatably mounted on the housing 100 and is equipped with a second electromagnetic coil assembly 210, which is positioned corresponding to the first electromagnetic coil assembly 110. The power supply device 300 supplies power to the first electromagnetic coil assembly 110 and the second electromagnetic coil assembly 210 when the door 200 needs to be opened. The magnetic poles on the sides of the first electromagnetic coil assembly 110 and the second electromagnetic coil assembly 210 that are close to each other are identical. Utilizing the principle of repulsion between like magnetic poles, the repulsive force generated by the electromagnetic coil assemblies can push the door 200 open, achieving a non-contact door opening method. This avoids the noise that may be generated during the opening process of traditional push rod or slider mechanisms, improving the user experience.

[0068] In an optional implementation, when closing the door, the direction of the current in the first electromagnetic coil assembly 110 or the second electromagnetic coil assembly 210 can be adjusted so that the magnetic fields generated by the two electromagnetic coil assemblies attract each other, thereby achieving a tight closure of the door 200 and ensuring the sealing performance between the door 200 and the housing 100.

[0069] Secondly, this application also provides a refrigeration device, which includes the refrigeration device door opening system described in the above embodiments.

[0070] It is understood that the refrigeration equipment in this embodiment may include, but is not limited to, electrical appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, and display cases. Taking a refrigerator as an example, the refrigerator may be a single-door refrigerator, a double-door refrigerator, or a multi-door refrigerator, etc., and this embodiment does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0071] It is understood that if the door opening system of the refrigeration equipment has the beneficial effects of the above embodiments, then the refrigeration equipment will have the beneficial effects of the above embodiments accordingly. The specific implementation method can be referred to the above embodiments, and this embodiment will not repeat it.

[0072] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.

[0073] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate this application and are not intended to limit this application.
