Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] This utility model provides a smart box device for refrigerators, such as... Figures 1-5As shown, the device includes a box body 1, an antenna 2 mounted on one side of the box body 1, a mounting plate 5 fixed inside the box body 1, a circuit board 51 mounted on the mounting plate 5, several support pillars 12 mounted on the inner bottom surface of the box body 1, and the mounting plate 5 fixed to the support pillars 12 by bolts. A cover plate 14 is mounted on the top of the box body 1, and several screw clips 4 are mounted on the bottom of the box body 1, which are fixed to the outer wall of the refrigerator. The antenna 2 mounted on one side of the box body 1 is used for signal reception and transmission, enhancing the communication function of the smart box. The mounting plate 5 fixed inside the box body 1 and the circuit board 51 mounted on it provide the core processing and control unit for the smart box, enabling the smart box to execute various preset smart functions. An RFID reader / writer module is mounted on the circuit board 51 for identifying information about reagents inside the refrigerator from the outside. At the same time, the several support pillars 12 mounted on the inner bottom surface of the box body 1, and the mounting plate 5 fixed to the support pillars 12 by bolts, ensure the stable installation and reliable operation of components such as the circuit board 51. In addition, the cover plate 14 installed on the top of the box 1 serves a protective function, preventing external environmental interference with the internal components of the box. Meanwhile, the several screw clips 4 installed on the bottom of the box 1 enable easy installation and removal of the smart box from the refrigerator's outer wall, greatly improving ease of use and flexibility.

[0029] In this embodiment, heat dissipation holes 11 are provided on both sides of the box body 1. The design of the heat dissipation holes 11 effectively improves the heat dissipation performance of the smart box device, ensuring that the device will not be affected by overheating during long-term operation, thus extending its stability and lifespan. At the same time, the presence of the heat dissipation holes also helps to reduce heat accumulation inside the device, maintaining the normal operating temperature of the internal components.

[0030] Specifically, a label 13 is installed on the outer surface of the box 1. The label 13 provides clear identification for the smart box device, allowing users to quickly understand the device's functions, model, instructions for use, and other information. This not only improves the user experience but also helps in quickly identifying and managing multiple smart box devices when needed.

[0031] Furthermore, a mounting base 6 is detachably fixed to the bottom of the box body 1. A buckle 61 is installed on one side of the mounting base 6, and a latch 15 is provided on the bottom outer wall of the box body 1. The buckle 61 and the latch 15 engage in a snap-fit ​​design. The snap-fit ​​design between the buckle 61 and the latch 15 enables a quick and convenient connection between the box body 1 and the mounting base 6. This detachable fixing method makes the installation, disassembly, and replacement of the smart box device more convenient, improving the flexibility and maintainability of the device.

[0032] Furthermore, the bottom of the housing 1 is provided with several slots 16, and the surface of the mounting base 6 is provided with several mounting holes 64. The mounting holes 64 are connected and fixed to the slots 16 by bolts and nuts. The design of the slots 16 and mounting holes 64 allows for easy fine-tuning between the housing 1 and the mounting base 6, ensuring accurate installation. The connection of bolts and nuts ensures a firm connection between the housing 1 and the mounting base 6, enhancing the stability and reliability of the device.

[0033] Furthermore, a locking side plate 62 is installed on one side of the mounting base 6, and the locking side plate 62 is connected to the side wall holes of the housing 1 by bolts. The design of the locking side plate 62 further enhances the connection stability between the housing 1 and the mounting base 6. By fixing the locking side plate 62 to the side wall of the housing 1 with bolts, it can effectively prevent the device from shaking or falling off during use, ensuring the safety and reliability of the device.

[0034] Furthermore, both the bottom of the housing 1 and the surface of the mounting base 6 are provided with circular holes 63, through which the wiring 3 of the circuit board 51 passes. The design of the circular holes 63 provides a channel for the wiring 3 of the circuit board 51 to pass through, making the wiring arrangement neater and more orderly. This not only improves the aesthetics of the device, but also helps to reduce interference and friction between wiring, extending the service life of the wiring.

[0035] Furthermore, the box body 1 has an overall square structure with rounded corners. The square design makes the smart box device more compact and stable, facilitating installation and placement. The rounded corners effectively reduce the impact force on the device during collisions or drops, improving its durability and safety. At the same time, the rounded corners also make the device more aesthetically pleasing and in line with the aesthetic style of medical devices.

[0036] When using the smart box device for refrigerators according to this utility model, the user first attaches the smart box device to the outer wall of the refrigerator using the screw clips 4 and connects it to the power supply. The smart box device receives external signals through the antenna 2 and completes the initial configuration, such as connecting to the Wi-Fi network and loading preset smart functions.

[0037] Circuit board 51 executes various intelligent functions according to preset programs and algorithms. For example, it monitors parameters such as temperature, humidity, reagent and sample information inside the refrigerator and transmits the data to the user's mobile app or cloud server via antenna 2. The smart box device communicates with other smart devices or mobile apps through antenna 2 to exchange and process data. Users can view real-time data inside the refrigerator, such as reagent and sample information, temperature, and humidity, through the smart platform and make corresponding adjustments or operations as needed.

[0038] During operation, the heat dissipation holes 11 continuously expel the heat generated by components such as the circuit board 51, ensuring the normal operating temperature of the device. The cover plate 14 protects the internal components of the housing and prevents external environmental interference with the internal circuitry.

[0039] When maintenance or replacement of the smart box device is required, the user can easily separate the box body 1 from the mounting base 6 through the snap-fit ​​design of the buckle 61 and the bayonet 15. The strip opening 16 and the mounting hole 64 are fixed together by bolts and nuts, allowing the user to make fine adjustments to ensure accurate installation. If components such as the circuit board 51 need to be replaced, the user can easily do so by removing the cover plate 14.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the electronic components in the circuit board 51 and other components in this embodiment are all general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. In the idle space of this device, all the above-mentioned electrical components are connected by wires.
