Unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0032] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0033] See Figures 1 to 4 This utility model discloses a multifunctional refrigerator, including a refrigerator body 10, a charging base 20 on the top of the refrigerator body 10, a charging position 221 and a charging module 30, a connecting part (not shown in the figure) for detachably connecting electronic devices, and a charging module 30 corresponding to the charging position 221; a temperature sensor 40 is installed on the charging base 20 and used to detect the temperature of the charging position 221.

[0034] Based on the above structure, the charging module 30 can be connected to the main circuit of the refrigerator body 10 through the built-in power cord, or an external power bank can be used. When it is necessary to charge electronic devices (such as mobile phones, tablets, smartwatches, etc.), the electronic device is placed at the charging position 221 and connected to the connection part. After the connection is completed, the charging module 30 starts to charge the electronic device.

[0035] During the charging process, since the temperature sensor 40 can monitor the temperature of the charging station 221 in real time, once an abnormally high temperature is detected, it will immediately send a signal to the background control system, prompting the user to manually or automatically cut off the circuit of the charging module 30 to ensure charging safety.

[0036] Therefore, when using the refrigerator in this embodiment, electronic devices can be charged at any time via the charging module 30 to meet diverse user needs, offering high flexibility. Simultaneously, the presence of the temperature sensor 40 allows for the detection of temperature changes at the charging station 221, facilitating timely power disconnection by the user, reducing safety hazards, and enhancing safety during use.

[0037] It should be noted that the charging module 30 in this embodiment can be an existing wireless charging module, such as an existing electromagnetic induction charging module; in this case, the connecting part can be a magnetic attracting component (such as a neodymium iron boron magnet) set at the charging position 221, which can magnetically attract electronic devices to avoid charging interruption or efficiency reduction due to displacement.

[0038] Of course, the charging module 30 can also be wired, such as by having an existing charger built into the charging base 20. In this case, a charging interface (such as a USB interface) is set in the charging position 221 to form a connection part, and the charging module is connected to the charger through a wire. In this way, the electronic device can be charged when it is connected to the charging interface.

[0039] In addition, the temperature sensor 40 in this embodiment can be selected from existing infrared sensors, thermocouple temperature sensors 40, or thermistor sensors (such as PTC thermistors or NTC thermistors) for temperature detection.

[0040] Furthermore, the charging base 20 includes a charging bottom shell 21 and a charging plate 22. The charging bottom shell 21 is provided with a mounting cavity 211, and the charging plate 22 is sealed in the mounting cavity 211. The charging module 30 and the temperature sensor 40 are both installed in the mounting cavity 211. The charging plate 22 is provided with a charging groove recessed towards the mounting cavity 211, and the charging groove is provided corresponding to the charging module 30. The charging groove forms a charging position 221.

[0041] Specifically, during assembly, components such as the charging module 30 and temperature sensor 40 are connected to the refrigerator's main circuit or an external mobile power source via electrical wires and centrally arranged in the mounting cavity 211. After installation, the mounting cavity 211 is sealed by the charging plate 22 to form a closed structure, protecting the internal components from dust and liquid intrusion and improving durability.

[0042] In addition, by setting a charging groove (i.e., charging position 221) on the charging plate 22, a charging position 221 is formed when it sinks. When the electronic device is placed in the charging groove, the groove wall of the charging groove can block the electronic device, preventing the electronic device from shifting when the refrigerator is moved by external force, and further reducing the probability of charging interruption or efficiency reduction due to displacement.

[0043] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the charging plate 22 can be detachably connected to the charging base shell 21 by means of snap-fit ​​or threaded connection, which facilitates subsequent inspection and maintenance of the internal structure of the mounting cavity 211.

[0044] Furthermore, the charging module 30 includes a control board and a wireless electromagnetic coil, which is correspondingly disposed with the charging groove and electrically connected to the control board.

[0045] Specifically, the charging module 30 in this embodiment can be an existing electromagnetic induction charging module 30. During assembly, its built-in wireless electromagnetic coil is arranged close to the bottom of the charging groove and electrically connected to the control board, so that when the electronic device is placed in the charging position 221, the vertical distance between the electronic device and the wireless electromagnetic coil is shorter, thereby shortening the energy transmission path, reducing magnetic flux loss, and improving charging efficiency.

[0046] More specifically, it also includes a magnetic chuck, which is located in the charging groove and forms a connecting part. In this way, after the electronic device is placed in the charging groove, the groove wall can physically limit the electronic device, while the magnetic field generated by the magnetic chuck actively attracts the metal sheet or magnetic coil at the bottom of the device through the principle of opposite poles attracting each other, achieving dual positioning and further reducing the probability of displacement of the electronic device during charging.

[0047] Furthermore, the refrigerator body 10 is equipped with an indicator light, which is electrically connected to the control board.

[0048] Based on this, during assembly, simply connect the signal output terminal to the corresponding interface of the control board. The control board will collect temperature data and send the received temperature data to the signal receiver of the indicator light to control the change of the indicator light, thereby prompting the user to check the temperature change at charging position 221.

[0049] It should be noted that the indicator light in this embodiment can be an existing multi-color LED light to present diverse feedback effects based on temperature data.

[0050] Furthermore, the refrigerator body 10 is provided with a refrigeration cavity 111 and a first snap-fit ​​part 13, and the bottom of the charging base 20 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​part 212. The first snap-fit ​​part 13 and the second snap-fit ​​part 212 are snapped together to cover the refrigeration cavity 111.

[0051] Specifically, by engaging the charging base 20 with the first engaging portion 13 on the refrigerator body 10 via the second engaging portion 212, the charging base 20 and the refrigerator compartment 111 are detachable. This allows the refrigerator compartment 111 to be opened or closed without tools, making it convenient for users who frequently need to access items (such as beverages or food). Simultaneously, the charging base 20 serves as both a cover and a charging station 221 for electronic devices, avoiding the need for a separate charging area that would occupy internal refrigerator space.

[0052] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​part 13 can be a snap-fit ​​opening or a slot provided on the refrigerator body 10. In this case, the second snap-fit ​​part 212 is a snap-fit ​​block or buckle that matches the shape of the snap-fit ​​opening or slot, and the two achieve a snap-fit ​​connection. Of course, the first snap-fit ​​part 13 can be a snap-fit ​​block or buckle provided on the refrigerator body 10. In this case, the second snap-fit ​​part 212 is a snap-fit ​​opening or slot that matches it, and the above effect can be achieved in the same way.

[0053] Preferably, in this embodiment, the first latching part 13 is a latch provided on the refrigerator body 10, and the second latching part 212 is a latching block provided on the charging base 20.

[0054] Furthermore, a grip notch 14 is provided around the periphery of the refrigerator body 10, and the grip notch 14 is correspondingly provided with the second snap-fit ​​part 212.

[0055] Specifically, when a user needs to open the refrigerator compartment 111, they can place their hand on the grip notch 14 to touch the edge of the charging base 20, making it easier to apply external force to the charging base 20 and allowing the user to easily open the charging base 20, making opening and closing more convenient.

[0056] Furthermore, since the grip notch 14 is located at the second latching part 212, it means that the opening and closing direction is consistent with the latching direction, making it easier for users to find the opening and closing position more intuitively.

[0057] Furthermore, the refrigerator body 10 also includes an inner liner 11 and a shell 12. The inner liner 11 is installed inside the shell 12 and is spaced apart from the shell 12 to form an installation gap. The shell 12 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 16, which are connected to the installation gap.

[0058] Specifically, by separating the inner liner 11 from the outer shell 12, an independent installation interval is formed inside the refrigerator body 10. In this way, the core components of the refrigerator body 10 used for refrigeration (such as the compressor and condenser) can be installed in the installation interval, avoiding direct contact between the inner liner 11 (the food storage area) and the core components, which would affect the food inside.

[0059] In addition, the heat dissipation holes 16 on the housing 12 dissipate heat from the mounting interval, preventing the equipment inside the mounting interval from overheating and being damaged, and indirectly improving the service life of the internal equipment.

[0060] Furthermore, the refrigerator body 10 is also provided with two gripping blocks 15, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the refrigerator body 10.

[0061] Specifically, the gripping blocks 15 can be protruding on the refrigerator body 10. When the user needs to move the refrigerator body 10, the user can lift the refrigerator body 10 at the same time by using the gripping blocks 15 on both sides, which improves gripping stability and makes it easier for the user to move the refrigerator body 10.

[0062] It should be noted that the gripping block 15 in this embodiment can be a block structure set on the shell 12 of the refrigerator body 10. At the same time, an arc-shaped groove can be set on the surface of the gripping block 15 to fit the curvature of the palm, improve grip stability, and facilitate the user to apply force.

[0063] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
