[0024] This invention provides a heat dissipation structure for a touch-sensitive refrigerator controller. To improve the heat dissipation effect of the touch-sensitive refrigerator controller, the controller body is first installed inside an aluminum housing to improve thermal conductivity. A heat-conducting assembly consisting of a heat-conducting plate, a vertical heat exchange plate, and a side heat exchange plate is installed on the outer surface of the controller body to increase the heat exchange area, thereby increasing the heat dissipation effect. At the same time, the heat-conducting assembly uses an aluminum nitride ceramic substrate to improve the heat exchange and thermal conductivity. In actual use, the heat generated by the heating elements in the controller body is guided to the vertical heat exchange plate and the side heat exchange plate through the heat-conducting plate. Then, the heat is exchanged with the outside air through the parts of the vertical heat exchange plate and the side heat exchange plate located on the outer surface of the housing. This design allows the heat generated by the controller body to be quickly discharged through the heat-conducting assembly in four directions, avoiding heat accumulation. It also avoids the problem of touch response delay or premature component failure caused by high temperature.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat dissipation technology for touch-screen refrigerator controllers, and in particular to a heat dissipation structure for a touch-screen refrigerator controller. Background Technology
[0002] Touchscreen refrigerators are modern refrigerators equipped with touch-sensing technology, using a touch panel to replace traditional mechanical buttons as the operating interface. These panels are usually integrated into the outside of the refrigerator door and use capacitive or resistive sensing principles to receive touch commands from fingers to control functions such as adjusting the cooling temperature, switching operating modes, and setting preservation programs. Some models also support controlling the built-in display screen to view food information, memos, etc.
[0003] The touch-sensitive refrigerator controller is the core operating component of a touch-sensitive refrigerator, integrating touch sensing and function control. It typically works in conjunction with the touch panel on the refrigerator door, receiving finger touch commands through capacitive or resistive sensing technology, and then converting these commands into electrical signals to regulate the refrigerator's core functions such as cooling system control, mode switching, and temperature setting. Some models can also be linked to the display screen for interactive features like food management. Its streamlined structure reduces the risk of malfunctions associated with traditional buttons, making operation more convenient and precise, while also complementing the refrigerator's minimalist design and enhancing the user experience.
[0004] The touch-sensitive refrigerator controller integrates components such as touch chips and power management modules. When working, the temperature of local hot spots can exceed 80°C. However, the traditional FR-4 substrate heat dissipation structure does not dissipate heat in an all-round way, which will lead to heat conduction effect, resulting in touch response delay or premature aging of components.

[0046] The working principle of the heat dissipation structure of the touch-sensitive refrigerator controller provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0047] First, the controller body 9 is installed inside the aluminum housing 1 to improve the heat conduction effect. The heat conduction assembly 3, consisting of a heat conduction plate 301, a vertical heat exchange plate 302, and a side heat exchange plate 303, is installed on the outer surface of the controller body 9 to increase the heat exchange area and thus increase the heat dissipation effect.

[0048] Compared with related technologies, the heat dissipation structure of the touch-screen refrigerator controller provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0049] To improve the heat dissipation of the touch-sensitive refrigerator controller, the controller body 9 is first installed inside the aluminum housing 1 to enhance heat conduction.

In actual use, the heat generated by the heating elements in the controller body 9 is guided through the heat-conducting plate 301 to the vertical heat exchange plate 302 and the side heat exchange plate 303. The heat then exchanges with the outside air through the portions of the vertical heat exchange plate 302 and the side heat exchange plate 303 located on the outer surface of the housing 1. This design allows the heat generated by the controller body 9 to be quickly dissipated through the heat-conducting assemblies 3 in four directions, preventing heat accumulation and avoiding touch response delays or premature component degradation due to high temperatures.
