Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a refrigerator. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to facilitate the user to set the parameters of the refrigerator, a display screen is fixed on the surface of the panel of the refrigerator door, and a wireless charging plate for charging the display screen is fixed on the back of the panel of the refrigerator door. However, in such a refrigerator, since the display screen is fixed on the refrigerator, it is necessary to stand in front of the refrigerator to use the display screen for setting the parameters of the refrigerator, which is not very flexible and convenient. Moreover, since the effective charging distance of the current wireless charging device is relatively small (for example, within 3 mm), the thickness of the panel of the refrigerator door made of non-metallic material is relatively large, which affects the wireless charging efficiency. On the other hand, the wireless charging cannot be directly performed through the panel of the refrigerator door made of metal material. SUMMARY

[0003] The utility model is completed in view of the above problems, and aims to provide a refrigerator with a display screen that can be used flexibly and conveniently and has high wireless charging efficiency.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the refrigerator according to the utility model comprises a door body assembly, the door body assembly comprises a door panel, a door frame, a door liner, a display screen with a user operation interface, and a wireless charging device for charging the display screen, the thickness of the door panel is greater than 3 mm, the display screen is detachably mounted on the surface of the door panel and communicates with the refrigerator through a wireless communication module, the wireless charging device comprises a base mounted on the back of the door panel and a power supply head mounted on the base, the power supply head is inserted through a through hole penetrating the door panel, and the display screen is mounted on the through hole. In this way, the display screen is detachably mounted on the surface of the door panel and communicates with the refrigerator through the wireless communication module, so that the display screen can be used when it is mounted on or removed from the refrigerator, and the parameters of the refrigerator and the like can be set at any location within the wireless coverage range, greatly improving the flexibility and convenience when using the display screen. Moreover, in view of the fact that the effective charging distance of the current wireless charging device is relatively small (for example, within 3 mm) and the thickness of the door panel is greater than 3 mm, the through hole is formed on the door panel, and the power supply head of the wireless charging device is inserted through the through hole on the door panel to charge the display screen, so that the display screen can be charged without being affected by the thickness and material (for example, metal that shields electromagnetic waves) of the door panel, greatly improving the wireless charging efficiency. Therefore, the display screen according to the utility model can be used flexibly and conveniently and has high wireless charging efficiency. In addition, in the mode that the display screen can be removed and used, the operation permission of other electrical appliances, such as washing machines and dishwashers, can be increased to connect various electrical appliances in the house, so as to create a brand ecological circle.

[0005] In addition, in the refrigerator of the utility model, the power supply head is provided with a power supply coil, and the display screen is provided with a power receiving coil.

[0006] In addition, in the refrigerator of the utility model, the surface of the power supply head is flush with the surface of the door plate. In this way, the highest charging rate can be achieved.

[0007] In addition, in the refrigerator of the utility model, the base is fixed to the back of the door plate through double-sided adhesive tape, a clamping structure or an embedded structure. In this way, the wireless charging device can be conveniently disassembled and installed by using double-sided adhesive tape, a clamping structure or an embedded structure.

[0008] In addition, in the refrigerator of the utility model, a magnet is arranged in the display screen. In this way, the display screen can be adsorbed to the door plate of the refrigerator through the magnet, so that the disassembly and installation of the display screen become easier, and the display screen can be more flexibly and conveniently used.

[0009] In addition, in the refrigerator of the utility model, the door plate is made of a non-metallic material, and a magnetic adsorption area forming part forming a magnetic adsorption area is attached to the back of the door plate. Here, the magnetic adsorption area forming part is preferably made of a steel plate. In this way, the adsorption area of the display screen on the non-metallic door plate can be increased.

[0010] In addition, in the refrigerator of the utility model, a magnet is arranged in the base. In this way, the display screen and the base can be adsorbed through magnetic attraction by arranging magnets in the display screen and the base.

[0011] In addition, in the refrigerator of the utility model, the refrigerator further comprises a shielding cover covering the base to prevent the foaming agent from adhering to the base, and the shielding cover is attached to the back of the door plate.

[0012] In addition, in the refrigerator of the utility model, the door plate is a glass panel, a rock plate or a metal panel. That is, the utility model places the wireless charging device in the hole of the door plate, so that it is not only suitable for glass panels, rock panels and other panels with high thickness affecting the charging efficiency, but also suitable for metal panels and other panels shielding electromagnetic waves.

[0013] According to the utility model, a refrigerator with a display screen that can be flexibly and conveniently used and has high wireless charging efficiency can be provided. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
