Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of home appliance technology, such as a door for a refrigerator and a refrigerator. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, refrigerators or freezers often operate in poorly lit environments (such as at night when the lights are off). This can cause users to have difficulty seeing the door handle due to insufficient light, making it inconvenient to open the door.

[0003] In related technologies, to solve the above problems, a refrigerator with lighting effect is provided, comprising: a cabinet body, one vertical side of which is open; a door body, located on the side of the cabinet body with the open opening; the door body is used to open or close the opening of the cabinet body; a concealed handle is recessed into the door body; a light strip is installed inside the concealed handle, the light strip is used for lighting; a mounting cavity is formed by a recess in the inner wall of the concealed handle; the light strip is detachably connected to the mounting cavity; a retaining strip is provided on the side wall of the light strip, the retaining strip has a guide surface on the side facing the mounting cavity, the guide surface is inclined from the direction away from the light strip to the side away from the mounting cavity; the retaining strip is used to be installed in the mounting cavity.

[0004] In the process of implementing the embodiments of this disclosure, it was found that the related technology has at least the following problems:

[0005] In related technologies, the light strip is detachably engaged in the mounting cavity by a retaining strip on its side wall, with one end of the light strip exposed inside the handle. This means that when the user opens and closes the door using the handle, the exposed end of the light strip is highly susceptible to impact and scratches, and each impact causes deformation of the retaining strip. With repeated impacts and scratches, the exposed end of the light strip is prone to damage, and the retaining strip is also prone to failure. Therefore, reducing the risk of damage to the light strip during door opening and closing and extending its lifespan has become an urgent technical problem to be solved.

[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0037] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the refrigerator door 100 provided in this embodiment includes: a door body 110, a handle 120, a light strip 130, a light-transmitting cover 140, and a side cover 150. An upper trim strip 111 is provided on the upper part of the door body 110. The handle 120 is mounted on the upper trim strip 111, and a first mounting cavity 121 and a second mounting cavity 122 are formed along the lateral side of the handle 120. The light strip 130 can be inserted into the first mounting cavity 121 from the side of the handle 120. The light-transmitting cover 140 can be inserted into the second mounting cavity 122 from the side of the handle 120, and the light-transmitting cover 140 is used to prevent the light strip 130 from directly contacting the outside. The side cover 150 is detachably disposed on the side where the handle 120 and the upper trim strip 111 meet, and is used to close or open the first mounting cavity 121 and the second mounting cavity 122.

[0039] Specifically, the door body 110 is the main structure of the refrigerator door. The upper part of the door body 110 is provided with an upper trim strip 111 along the horizontal direction. The upper trim strip 111 is used to support various components (e.g., handle 120) that need to be installed on the door body 110. The upper trim strip 111 is integrally formed with the door body 110, or the upper trim strip 111 is separately injection molded and then fixed to the upper part of the door body 110 by snap-fit ​​or screws.

[0040] Specifically, one side of the upper trim strip 111 is the mounting reference surface, and the handle 120 is mounted on the mounting reference surface.

[0041] Specifically, the lateral side of the handle 120 is the side of the handle 120 perpendicular to its length. A first mounting cavity 121 and a second mounting cavity 122 are formed on this lateral side along the length of the handle 120. The first mounting cavity 121 and the second mounting cavity 122 are arranged parallel to each other, with the second mounting cavity 122 being closer to the outside than the first mounting cavity 121. The first mounting cavity 121 is used to accommodate the light strip 130, and the second mounting cavity 122 is used to accommodate the light-transmitting cover plate 140.

[0042] Alternatively, the handle 120 may be made of aluminum alloy.

[0043] Optionally, the cross-section of the first mounting cavity 121 is rectangular, and the cross-section of the second mounting cavity 122 is trapezoidal. The rectangular dimension is larger than the dimension of the light strip 130, and the trapezoidal dimension is larger than the dimension of the light-transmitting cover plate 140.

[0044] Specifically, the light strip 130 is an LED light strip or other flexible lighting component. When the light strip 130 is inserted into the first mounting cavity 121 along the side, the light-emitting surface of the light strip 130 needs to face the light-transmitting cover plate 140.

[0045] Specifically, the light-transmitting cover 140 is made of a transparent or semi-transparent material (e.g., PC, PMMA, or acrylic). After the transparent cover is inserted into the second mounting cavity 122, it is necessary to ensure that the transparent cover can completely cover the outside of the light strip 130, isolate the light strip 130 from the external environment, and at the same time ensure the transmission of light from the light strip 130.

[0046] Specifically, the shape of the side cover 150 matches the side shape of the joint between the handle 120 and the upper trim 111. The side cover 150 can be detachably installed on the side of the joint between the handle 120 and the upper trim 111 by means of a snap-fit ​​structure or screws.

[0047] Optionally, the edge of the side cover 150 is provided with a rubber sealing strip to achieve a tight seal between the side cover 150 and the first mounting cavity 121 and the second mounting cavity 122.

[0048] The refrigerator door 100 provided in this embodiment includes a door body 110, a handle 120, a light strip 130, a light-transmitting cover 140, and a side cover 150. A first mounting cavity 121 and a second mounting cavity 122 are formed along the lateral side of the handle 120. The light strip 130 can be inserted into the first mounting cavity 121 from the side of the handle 120, and the light-transmitting cover 140 can be inserted into the second mounting cavity 122 from the side of the handle 120, thus preventing the light strip 130 from directly contacting the outside. After inserting the light strip 130 into the first mounting cavity 121 and the light-transmitting cover 140 into the second mounting cavity 122, the side cover 150 can seal both the first and second mounting cavities 121. In this way, the light strip 130 is not directly exposed inside the handle 120, and the light-transmitting cover 140 also provides protection for the light strip 130. Furthermore, since the light strip 130 is directly inserted into the first mounting cavity 121 in this embodiment, there is no need to provide a retaining strip on the side wall of the light strip 130, thus avoiding the problem of retaining strip failure. Therefore, this embodiment can reduce the risk of damage to the light strip 130 during door opening and closing, and extend the service life of the light strip 130.

[0049] In some embodiments, the surface of the light-transmitting cover 140 is provided with an anti-glare coating.

[0050] It is understandable that when the light strip 130 emits light, the light may be reflected on the surface of the light-transmitting cover 140, resulting in glare. In low-light environments (e.g., at night), this can cause users to experience glare or blind spots when operating the refrigerator door. Therefore, in this embodiment, an anti-glare coating is provided on the light-transmitting cover 140.

[0051] Optionally, the anti-glare coating can employ a three-layer composite structure. The three-layer composite structure includes a base layer, a functional layer, and a protective layer. The base layer can be made of a curable acrylic resin, the functional layer can be a mixture of nano-silica and magnesium fluoride, and the protective layer can be a perfluoropolyether coating.

[0052] Alternatively, an anti-glare coating can be applied to the light-transmitting cover 140 following these steps:

[0053] First, plasma cleaning is performed on the light-transmitting cover plate 140;

[0054] Second, the light-transmitting cover plate 140 is coated with a functional layer in sequence using a coating machine, and then UV curing is performed after the coating is completed.

[0055] Third, a protective layer is formed on the surface of the light-transmitting cover plate 140 using a vapor phase deposition method.

[0056] In this embodiment, an anti-glare coating is provided on the surface of the light-transmitting cover 140. This prevents glare from the light strip 130 and improves the user experience.

[0057] In some embodiments, the upper trim strip 111 is provided with a slot, and the handle 120 is provided with a corresponding buckle, so that the handle 120 can be installed on the upper trim strip 111 by means of the buckle and the slot.

[0058] Specifically, a slot is made on the upper trim strip 111, and a corresponding buckle is set on the handle 120, so that the handle 120 can be installed on the upper trim strip 111 by snap-fit.

[0059] In some embodiments, the upper trim strip 111 and the handle 120 are provided with a plurality of mounting holes, so that the handle 120 can be mounted to the upper trim strip 111 by screws through the plurality of mounting holes.

[0060] Specifically, by providing a plurality of corresponding mounting holes at lateral intervals on the mounting reference surface of the upper trim strip 111 and the handle 120, the handle 120 is mounted to the upper trim strip 111 by means of screws.

[0061] Specifically, the mounting holes on the upper trim strip 111 and the handle 120 have the same diameter, and the spacing between the multiple mounting holes is the same.

[0062] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the first mounting cavity 121 is provided with a thermally conductive silicone layer for conducting the heat generated by the light strip 130 during operation to the outside of the handle 120.

[0063] It is understandable that the LED strip 130 generates a large amount of heat during operation. If this heat is not dissipated, the LED strip 130 will operate in a high-temperature environment for a long time, which will shorten its service life. Therefore, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, thermally conductive silicone is provided on the inner wall of the first mounting cavity 121 to conduct the heat generated by the LED strip 130 during operation to the outside of the handle 120.

[0064] Specifically, the thermally conductive silicone layer can be pre-formed into a sheet and adhered to the inner wall of the first mounting cavity 121. When the light strip 130 is inserted into the first mounting cavity 121, the elastic deformation of the thermally conductive silicone layer achieves an interference fit with the light strip 130. In this way, when the door is opened or closed, the light strip 130 can be prevented from shaking within the first mounting cavity 121.

[0065] In this embodiment, a thermally conductive silicone layer is provided on the inner wall of the first mounting cavity 121. This improves the heat dissipation rate of the light strip 130 during operation, reduces the operating time of the light strip 130 in high-temperature environments, and further extends the service life of the light strip 130.

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, after the handle 120 is installed on the upper trim strip 111, a third mounting cavity 123 is formed at the joint between the handle 120 and the side of the upper trim strip 111. The door also includes a light strip 130 terminal and a door wire terminal 170. The first end of the light strip 130 terminal is electrically connected to the light strip 130. The first end of the door wire terminal 170 is connected to the second end of the light strip 130 terminal, and the second end is used to electrically connect to the main control board of the refrigerator. The light strip 130 terminal and the door wire terminal 170 are disposed in the third mounting cavity 123, and the side cover 150 is also used to close or open the third mounting cavity 123.

[0067] Specifically, the terminal of the light strip 130 is a wiring terminal for connecting the signal wire on the light strip 130. The door wire terminal 170 is a wiring terminal for connecting the signal wire passing through the inside of the door and the refrigerator control board.

[0068] Specifically, after the handle 120 is installed onto the upper trim strip 111, a third mounting cavity 123 can be formed at the joint between the handle 120 and the side of the upper trim strip 111. By connecting the second end of the light strip 130 terminal to the first end of the door body wire terminal 170, the light strip 130 terminal and the door body wire terminal 170 are installed into the third mounting cavity 123, and the third mounting cavity 123 is closed by the side cover 150. This allows the light strip 130 terminal and the door body wire terminal 170 to be hidden inside the third mounting cavity 123, preventing the user from touching live parts and preventing external condensation or cleaning fluid from seeping into the third mounting cavity 123.

[0069] In this embodiment, after the handle 120 is installed on the upper trim strip 111, a third mounting cavity 123 is formed at the joint between the handle 120 and the side of the upper trim strip 111. The light strip 130 terminal and the door body wire terminal 170 are installed in the third mounting cavity 123, and the third mounting cavity 123 is closed by the side cover 150. This reduces the risk of the user touching live parts and reduces the risk of short circuits in the light strip 130 terminal and the door body wire terminal 170.

[0070] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the door body further includes a wiring protection component 180. The wiring protection component 180 is disposed at the bottom of the door body 110. The signal line connected to the second end of the door body terminal 170 passes through the bottom of the door body 110, passes through the wiring protection component 180, and is electrically connected to the main control board of the refrigerator.

[0071] Specifically, the main control board of the refrigerator is usually located at the bottom of the cabinet. To control the on / off state of the light strip 130, it needs to be electrically connected to the main control board. Therefore, the signal wire from the door terminal 170 needs to be connected to the main control board from the bottom of the door body 110. When the signal wire is at the bottom of the door, it may be subjected to impact, friction, or compression during the opening and closing of the door body 110, potentially leading to breakage or damage to the insulation layer. Therefore, in this embodiment, a wiring protection component 180 is provided to prevent the signal wire from being directly exposed to external forces, reducing the risk of damage to the signal wire.

[0072] In some embodiments, the door body further includes a wiring conduit. The wiring conduit is disposed inside the door body 110, with a first end of the wiring conduit disposed near the second end of the door body terminal 170, and the second end of the wiring conduit disposed at the bottom of the door body 110 as a wiring outlet at the bottom of the door body 110.

[0073] Currently, the method for routing the signal wire inside the door body 110 involves passing it through the lower hinge of the door body 110, with the signal wire exiting through a bushing embedded in the through-hole of the lower end cover of the door body 110. This is pre-installed and foamed together with the door body. During installation, the signal wire passes through the hinge's shaft sleeve and then connects to the signal wire extending from the bottom of the housing. Finally, a hinge cover is placed at the bottom to hide and protect the hinge and signal wire. This method requires pre-installing the signal wire and then foaming it. If a problem occurs with the signal wire, the foam layer inside the door body 110 must be damaged to replace it, making maintenance extremely inconvenient.

[0074] Therefore, in this embodiment, a wiring conduit is provided inside the door body 110. The first end of the wiring conduit is located near the second end of the door body terminal 170, meaning the first end of the wiring conduit can be located within the third mounting cavity 123, and the second end of the wiring conduit is located at the bottom of the door body 110, serving as the cable outlet at the bottom of the door body 110. This way, when the signal cable needs to be replaced, there is no need to damage the foam layer inside the door body 110, improving the convenience of signal cable maintenance.

[0075] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the door also includes a human detection module 190. The human detection module 190 is disposed on the door body 110 and electrically connected to the light strip 130. When the human detection module 190 detects a human signal, it controls the light strip 130 to turn on.

[0076] Optionally, the human sensing module 190 includes an infrared sensor or a microwave sensor.

[0077] It is understandable that the light strip 130 cannot be kept constantly on, and it is extremely inconvenient for the user to manually turn it on. Therefore, in this embodiment, a human detection module 190 is provided on the door. The human detection module 190 can determine whether a user is approaching the refrigerator by detecting human signals. If a user is approaching, the light strip 130 can be turned on. After the user leaves, the light strip 130 can be turned off. In this way, intelligent control of the light strip 130 is achieved, reducing energy waste and improving user convenience.

[0078] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the door also includes a light sensor module 200. The light sensor module 200 is disposed on the door body 110 and electrically connected to the light strip 130, and is used to detect ambient brightness data and adjust the brightness of the light strip 130 when it is turned on according to the ambient brightness data.

[0079] Optionally, the light sensing module 200 is a photosensitive sensor or a photosensitive sensor array. When the light sensing module 200 is a photosensitive sensor array, it can be distributed at equal intervals along the length of the upper trim strip 111 to improve the accuracy of the detected ambient brightness data.

[0080] It is understandable that if the brightness of the light strip 130 is too high when the ambient light is low, it will cause glare to the user. Therefore, in this embodiment, a light sensor module 200 for detecting ambient light data is provided on the door body 110. In this way, the brightness of the light strip 130 when it is turned on can be adjusted according to the ambient light data, so that the brightness of the light strip 130 when it is turned on matches the ambient light, thereby improving the user experience.

[0081] like Figure 5As shown, the refrigerator 700 provided in this embodiment includes: a cabinet 710 and a door 100 as described above. One side of the cabinet 710 is open. The door 100 as described above is provided on the side of the opening of the cabinet 710.
