Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of refrigeration technology, and more particularly to a refrigerator. Background Technology

[0002] As refrigerators become more widely used, users have increasingly diverse functional requirements for them. Refrigerators with voice recognition capabilities have become a trend, and this voice recognition function is mainly achieved by setting up a microphone on the door.

[0003] In related technologies, microphones are usually fixed to the door with adhesive. Since the door needs to be opened or closed frequently, the microphone is prone to displacement, loosening or falling off, resulting in low installation accuracy and poor installation reliability, which affects the refrigerator's sound reception. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application discloses a refrigerator that can effectively improve the installation accuracy and reliability of the radio module on the door, thus ensuring the refrigerator's radio reception effect.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application discloses a refrigerator, comprising:

[0006] The container has a storage compartment;

[0007] A door, which is movably connected to the housing to open or close the storage room, and the door is provided with a first sound-receiving hole;

[0008] A microphone, the microphone having a second sound-receiving port;

[0009] The door body includes:

[0010] The door panel body is provided with the first sound-receiving hole and a first mounting groove communicating with the first sound-receiving hole.

[0011] A fixed end cap has an installation space, and the microphone is disposed on the fixed end cap and located in the installation space;

[0012] An abutment structure is configured to be installed in the mounting space to abut against the microphone, such that when the fixed end cap is placed on the first mounting groove, the microphone can abut against the door panel body and align and communicate with the second sound hole and the first sound hole.

[0013] The refrigerator disclosed in this application fixes a microphone to a fixed end cover and installs an abutment structure in the installation space of the fixed end cover. The abutment structure applies force to the microphone (i.e., abuts against the microphone), thereby holding the microphone against the door panel body. This ensures that the second microphone hole of the microphone is aligned and connected with the first microphone hole on the door panel body. Due to the abutment structure, the microphone is firmly held against the door panel body, effectively improving the installation accuracy and reliability of the microphone on the door. This avoids problems such as microphone displacement, loosening, or falling off due to frequent opening and closing of the door, thus helping to ensure the sound reception effect of the refrigerator.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the abutting structure includes an abutting portion and a deformable portion. The abutting portion is used to abut the microphone. The deformable portion and the abutting portion are connected and a deformation space is formed between them. The deformation space is used to provide space for the deformable portion to deform relative to the abutting portion when it is subjected to force. The deformable portion is configured to abut against the fixed end cap when the abutting portion is installed in the mounting space, so that the abutting portion abuts against the microphone.

[0015] On the one hand, when the abutment structure extends into the mounting space of the fixed end cap, the deformable part on the abutment structure provides deformation space, allowing it to extend more smoothly into the mounting space. On the other hand, when the abutment structure is installed in the mounting space of the fixed end cap, the deformable part on the abutment structure abuts against the fixed end cap, allowing the abutment part to abut against the microphone, thus ensuring the microphone is stably held against the door panel. This design not only effectively improves the installation accuracy and stability of the microphone but also accommodates microphones of different sizes, enhancing the microphone's versatility and practicality. Simultaneously, the deformable part can also buffer external impacts to a certain extent, protecting the microphone from damage and extending its lifespan.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the abutting structure is configured to provide a resisting force to the microphone in a first direction so that the microphone abuts against the door panel body;

[0017] The fixed end cap is provided with a first buckle part along the second direction, and the abutting structure is provided with a first locking part. When the abutting structure is installed in the installation space, the first buckle part and the first locking part are engaged and connected.

[0018] The second direction intersects with the first direction.

[0019] The fixed end cap has a first latching part along the second direction, and the abutting structure has a first locking part. When the abutting structure is installed in the installation space, the first latching part and the first locking part engage. The second direction intersects the first direction. The engagement of the first latching part and the first locking part restricts the movement of the abutting structure along the second direction in the installation space, preventing the abutting structure from detaching from the installation space (i.e., preventing the abutting part from falling off the fixed end cap). At the same time, it does not affect the abutting action of the abutting part against the microphone along the first direction, improving the installation stability of the abutting structure on the fixed end cap, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the microphone. This design is not only simple in structure, but the latching connection also facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the abutting structure.

[0020] In some embodiments of this application, the fixed end cap includes:

[0021] Cover plate section;

[0022] The side panel is connected to the cover plate and forms the mounting space with the cover plate. The side panel is provided with a clearance hole that communicates with the second microphone hole. The microphone is disposed on the side panel, and the second microphone hole is disposed corresponding to the clearance hole.

[0023] When the cover plate is placed over the first mounting groove, the side plate at least partially abuts against the door panel body so that the clearance hole communicates with the first sound hole.

[0024] By providing clearance holes on the side panel and mounting the microphone on the side panel, with the clearance holes corresponding to and communicating with the microphone's second microphone port, the microphone can be securely installed on the fixed end cap. Furthermore, when the cover plate is placed over the first mounting groove, it also protects and supports the microphone and the abutment structure, preventing them from being damaged by external impacts. Simultaneously, the mounting space formed by the cover plate and the side panel also provides some dust and water protection for the microphone, further protecting its performance and lifespan.

[0025] In some embodiments of this application, the side plate has a protrusion and the microphone has a recess, the recess and the protrusion are connected to each other to limit the position of the microphone on the side plate.

[0026] By designing a protruding and recessed section that mates together, the microphone is pre-positioned on the side panel. This connection method is not only simple to operate but also effectively improves the microphone's installation accuracy and stability, preventing displacement, loosening, or detachment during use, thus ensuring the refrigerator's sound reception. Furthermore, this design facilitates microphone disassembly and maintenance, enhancing the refrigerator's practicality and convenience.

[0027] Furthermore, after the microphone is pre-positioned on the side panel by the cooperation of the protrusion and the recess, the second microphone hole can be connected to the clearance hole on the side panel by means of glue bonding, screw locking or snap connection, thereby improving the stable installation of the microphone on the fixed end cover and improving the sound reception effect of the refrigerator.

[0028] In some embodiments of this application, the fixed end cap includes:

[0029] A first cover is provided to cover the first mounting groove. A second mounting groove is provided on the side of the first cover facing the inside of the first mounting groove, and the second mounting groove is connected to the first mounting groove.

[0030] A second cover is connected to the first cover to cover the opening of the second mounting groove, and the mounting space is formed on the second cover.

[0031] By configuring the fixed end cap as a first cover and a second cover, with the first cover fitting over a first mounting groove and the second cover connected to the first cover and fitting over a second mounting groove, the microphone is concealed inside the door panel. This not only improves the overall aesthetics of the refrigerator but also protects the microphone from damage. Simultaneously, an installation space is formed on the second cover. Placing the microphone within this space first improves its mounting performance on the door panel. When the first and second covers are connected, the microphone rests against the door panel, ensuring installation accuracy and stability. This design is simple, easy to implement, and effectively improves the refrigerator's sound reception.

[0032] In some embodiments of this application,

[0033] The first cover is provided with:

[0034] Second buckle;

[0035] A first connecting hole is provided at a distance from the second buckle portion;

[0036] The second cover is also provided with:

[0037] The second locking part is fastened to the second buckle part to fix the second cover to the first cover;

[0038] A second connecting hole, which corresponds to and communicates with the first connecting hole;

[0039] An extension post is located on the outer periphery of the second connecting hole. The extension post is hollow inside to communicate with the second connecting hole. The second connecting hole, the hollow part of the extension post, and the first connecting hole are configured to allow fasteners to pass through in order to fix the second cover to the first cover.

[0040] When the abutment structure is installed in the installation space, the side of the abutment structure opposite to the microphone abuts against the extension column.

[0041] Furthermore, by engaging the second latch and the second buckle, the second cover is fixed to the first cover. This connection makes it easier to disassemble or install the second cover, while ensuring the stability of the connection between the second cover and the first cover. This prevents the second cover from becoming loose or falling off during use, and improves the installation stability of the second cover on the first cover, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the microphone and ensuring the sound reception of the refrigerator.

[0042] To further improve the connection stability between the first and second covers, this application also provides a first connecting hole and a second connecting hole on the first and second covers respectively. Fasteners are used to securely connect the second cover to the first cover, thereby effectively improving the connection stability between the two covers. This design is not only structurally stable but also facilitates disassembly and maintenance, improving the reliability and practicality of the microphone. Simultaneously, the placement of the first and second connecting holes also facilitates adjustment of the relative position between the second and first covers, ensuring that the microphone can be accurately mounted on the door panel for optimal sound pickup.

[0043] In addition, the second cover is provided with an internally hollow extension post, and the hollow part of the extension post is connected to the second connecting hole. The second connecting hole, the hollow part of the extension post, and the first connecting hole are configured to allow fasteners to pass through. Since the distance between the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole is large, the extension post can guide, support, and fix the fasteners, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the fastener connection between the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole.

[0044] Meanwhile, when the abutment structure is installed in the installation space, the side of the abutment structure opposite to the microphone abuts against the extension column, which provides further support and fixation, thereby improving the stability of the abutment structure in the installation space. This design not only effectively prevents the abutment structure from shaking or shifting during installation, but also ensures that the abutment structure applies a stable supporting force to the microphone, allowing the microphone to be stably held against the door panel, further improving the refrigerator's sound reception. Furthermore, the abutment structure against the extension column avoids obstructing the first and second connecting holes, ensuring that fasteners can be smoothly inserted into the first and second connecting holes, achieving a secure connection between the second cover and the first cover. This design is not only compact but also highly functional, effectively improving the reliability and stability of the refrigerator's sound-receiving components.

[0045] In some embodiments of this application, the door panel body includes:

[0046] Inner surface;

[0047] The outer surface is disposed opposite to the inner surface along the thickness direction of the door panel body;

[0048] A peripheral side surface, which connects the inner surface and the outer surface;

[0049] The first sound-receiving hole is located on the outer surface, and the first mounting groove is located on the peripheral side.

[0050] By setting the first sound-receiving hole on the outer surface and opening the first mounting groove on the circumferential side, not only can the fixed end cover be hidden on the circumferential side of the first door body, improving the overall aesthetics of the refrigerator, but also the first sound-receiving hole can be directed towards the user to receive sound, thereby improving the sound reception effect of the sound-receiving module.

[0051] In some embodiments of this application, the fixed end cap has an end cap surface, and when the fixed end cap is placed on the first mounting groove, the end cap surface is flush with the peripheral side surface.

[0052] By setting the end cap surface flush with the periphery of the door panel, not only can the refrigerator's appearance be kept neat and beautiful, but the fixed end cap can also be prevented from protruding from the periphery of the door panel and scratching the user, thus improving the safety of using the refrigerator.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, the storage compartment includes:

[0054] First storage room;

[0055] The second sub-storage room is located below the first sub-storage room along the height direction of the door panel body;

[0056] The door panel body includes:

[0057] The first door body is used to close or open the first sub-storage room;

[0058] The second main door is used to close or open the second sub-storage room;

[0059] The first gate body includes:

[0060] Inner surface;

[0061] The outer surface and the inner surface are arranged opposite each other along the thickness direction of the door panel body, and the first sound-receiving hole is opened on the outer surface;

[0062] A peripheral side surface, which connects the inner surface and the outer surface;

[0063] The peripheral side surface includes an upper surface, a lower surface, and a side surface. The lower surface and the upper surface are spaced apart along the height direction of the door panel body. The side surface connects the upper surface and the lower surface. The first mounting groove is formed on the lower surface.

[0064] By placing the first microphone hole on the outer surface, it faces the user, allowing the microphone module to better receive sound signals and improving its reception performance. The first mounting slot is located on the lower surface of the first door body, facilitating installation and removal of the microphone module from below the door without compromising the refrigerator's aesthetics. Furthermore, the location of the mounting slot on the lower surface of the first door body, meaning the microphone is positioned close to the user's mouth, allows for convenient voice interaction with the refrigerator, improving reception without affecting the refrigerator's overall appearance.

[0065] In addition, the lower surface is set towards the ground. Compared with opening the first mounting slot on the upper or side surface of the first door body, it can effectively reduce the entry of dust and other impurities into the first mounting slot, thereby keeping the radio module clean and in good working condition.

[0066] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0067] The refrigerator disclosed in this application includes a cabinet, a door, and a microphone. The cabinet has a storage compartment, and the door is movably connected to the cabinet to open or close the storage compartment. The door has a first microphone hole, and the microphone has a second microphone hole communicating with the first microphone hole. The door includes a door panel body, a fixed end cap, and an abutment structure. The door panel body has the first microphone hole and a first mounting groove communicating with the first microphone hole. The fixed end cap forms a mounting space, and the microphone is disposed on the fixed end cap and located in the mounting space. The abutment structure is configured to be installed in the mounting space to abut against the microphone, so that when the fixed end cap is placed on the first mounting groove, the microphone can abut against the door panel body and align the second microphone hole with the first microphone hole for communication.

[0068] The refrigerator disclosed in this application fixes a microphone to a fixed end cover and installs an abutment structure in the installation space of the fixed end cover. The abutment structure applies force to the microphone (i.e., abuts against the microphone), thereby holding the microphone against the door panel body. This ensures that the second microphone hole of the microphone is aligned and connected with the first microphone hole on the door panel body. Due to the abutment structure, the microphone is firmly held against the door panel body, effectively improving the installation accuracy and reliability of the microphone on the door. This avoids problems such as microphone displacement, loosening, or falling off due to frequent opening and closing of the door, thus helping to ensure the sound reception effect of the refrigerator.

[0096] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0097] In this application, the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are primarily for the purpose of better describing this application and its embodiments, and are not intended to limit the indicated device, element, or component to having a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0098] Furthermore, in addition to indicating location or positional relationship, some of the aforementioned terms may also have other meanings. For example, the term "above" may also be used in some cases to indicate a certain dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0099] Furthermore, the terms "installation," "setup," "equipped with," "connection," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0100] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are primarily used to distinguish different devices, elements, or components (which may be the same or different in specific type and construction), and are not intended to indicate or imply the relative importance or quantity of the indicated devices, elements, or components. Unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0101] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the singular forms of "a," "an," and "the" may also include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that terms such as "comprising / including" or "having" specify the presence of the stated features, integrals, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

[0102] With the booming development of smart home technology, refrigerators, as a core kitchen appliance, have seen user demand evolve from traditional low-temperature storage to intelligent and interactive features. Among these, smart refrigerators with natural voice interaction capabilities are becoming a new favorite in the high-end home appliance market. These refrigerators integrate advanced voice recognition systems to achieve functions such as food management, recipe recommendations, and device control. The core component for human-computer voice interaction is the microphone module, and its installation stability directly determines the accuracy of voice recognition and the user experience.

[0103] In related technologies, the radio module is generally fixed to the inside of the refrigerator door using an adhesive process. Attaching a small radio module to a large refrigerator door results in low installation efficiency and high costs. Furthermore, in actual use, the refrigerator door undergoes dozens of opening and closing actions daily, and the resulting continuous vibration and impact gradually weaken the adhesive's bonding strength. Even worse, the unique temperature and humidity fluctuations in the kitchen environment accelerate the aging process of the adhesive, causing the radio module to generally exhibit displacement deviation within a certain usage period. This reduction in installation accuracy not only decreases voice recognition sensitivity but may also trigger system malfunctions such as false triggers, severely restricting the functional reliability of smart refrigerators.

[0104] In view of this, the refrigerator disclosed in this application can effectively improve the installation accuracy and reliability of the radio module on the door, and avoid problems such as displacement, loosening or falling off of the radio module due to the frequent opening or closing of the door, thereby ensuring the radio reception effect of the refrigerator.

[0105] The technical solution of this application will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0106] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a refrigerator provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a front view of the refrigerator provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is an exploded view of a refrigerator provided in an embodiment of this application. The refrigerator 100 disclosed in this application can be, for example, a double-door refrigerator, a single-door refrigerator, a three-door refrigerator, or a French door refrigerator. Alternatively, it can be a French door refrigerator, i.e., the upper part is a double-door refrigerator compartment providing ample storage space for users, and the lower part is typically a drawer-style freezer compartment, making it easier to categorize, store, and access frozen foods. The specific form is not limited in this embodiment.

[0107] In some embodiments, the refrigerator 100 includes a cabinet 10 defining a storage compartment 101 for storing food. The storage compartment 101 may include a freezer compartment, a refrigerator compartment, or a variable temperature compartment, etc.

[0108] Understandably, the temperature of a refrigerator compartment is typically between 2°C and 8°C, which keeps food refrigerated. The temperature of a freezer compartment is typically between -14°C and -26°C, which keeps food frozen. The temperature of a variable-temperature compartment is generally adjustable between 5°C and -7°C, or it can be directly set to -18°C for use as a freezer.

[0109] In some embodiments, the refrigerator 100 includes a door 20, which is movably connected to the cabinet 10 to open or close the storage compartment 101 to prevent cold air from leaking out of the storage compartment 101.

[0110] In some embodiments, the door 20 is provided with a first sound receiving hole 2121, which can be used to receive the user's voice and transmit it to a microphone 30 located inside the door 20.

[0111] Optionally, the first sound-receiving hole 2121 may be, for example, a round hole, a square hole, an elliptical hole, etc., and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0112] In some embodiments, when the first microphone hole 2121 is circular, its diameter is d, where d satisfies: 1mm ≤ d ≤ 5mm. For example, d can include, but is not limited to, 1mm-2mm, 2mm-3mm, 3mm-4mm, and 4mm-5mm. Exemplarily, d can include, but is not limited to, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, 4.5mm, and 5mm, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this. Of course, as other embodiments, the first microphone hole 2121 can also be rectangular, polygonal, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0113] When the diameter d of the first microphone hole 2121 is less than 1 mm, the first microphone hole 2121 is too small, making it difficult to transmit external sound from the refrigerator 100 to the microphone 30, thus affecting the sound reception of the refrigerator 100. When the diameter d of the first microphone hole 2121 is greater than 5 mm, although the sound reception area is increased, the opening of the first microphone hole 2121 is too large, resulting in poor appearance integrity of the refrigerator 100. At the same time, it is also easy for moisture and dust from outside the refrigerator 100 to enter the refrigerator 100 and microphone 30 through the first microphone hole 2121, which may cause damage to them.

[0114] Therefore, by setting the diameter d of the first microphone hole 2121 to satisfy 1mm≤d≤5mm, the first microphone hole 2121 can ensure sound reception while maintaining the appearance integrity of the refrigerator 100, thus improving the overall aesthetics of the refrigerator 100. Furthermore, a reasonable diameter of the first microphone hole 2121 can effectively prevent dust, moisture, and other impurities from entering the door 20 through the first microphone hole 2121, thus preventing contamination or damage to the microphone 30, thereby further improving the reliability and service life of the refrigerator 100.

[0115] It is understandable that the distance from the bottom to the top of the door 20 is the height direction Z of the door 20. The door 20 also has a width direction Y and a depth direction. Taking the storage room 101 closed as an example, the distance from one end of the door 20 to the other end is the width direction Y of the door 20. The outer side of the door 20 is the side facing the user. The inner side of the door 20 is opposite to the outer side. The extension direction of the inner side and the outer side of the door 20 is the thickness direction X of the door 20. Among the width direction Y, thickness direction X, and height direction Z of the door 20, each pair is perpendicular. That is to say, the width direction Y of the door 20 is perpendicular to the thickness direction X of the door 20, the width direction Y of the door 20 is perpendicular to the height direction Z of the door 20, and the thickness direction X of the door 20 is perpendicular to the height direction Z of the door 20. The door body 20 is formed into a rectangular shape that extends vertically, and the whole shape is rectangular. Of course, it can also be other shapes, such as a cylinder, and there is no restriction here.

[0116] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments, the distance between the first sound-receiving hole 2121 and the bottommost end of the enclosure 10 along the height direction Z of the door 20 is D, where D satisfies 70mm≤D≤100mm. For example, D may include, but is not limited to, 70mm-75mm, 75mm-80mm, 80mm-85mm, 85mm-90mm, 90mm-95mm, and 95mm-mm. Exemplarily, D may include, but is not limited to, 70mm, 71mm, 72mm, 73mm, 74mm, 75mm, 76mm, 77mm, 78mm, 79mm, 80mm, 81mm, 82mm, 83mm, 84mm, 85mm, 86mm, 87mm, 88mm, 89mm, 90mm, 91mm, 92mm, 93mm, 94mm, 95mm, 96mm, 97mm, 98mm, 99mm, and 100mm, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0117] When the distance D between the first microphone hole 2121 and the bottom of the cabinet 10 is less than 70mm, the height of the first microphone hole 2121 is too low, far from the user's mouth in the height direction Z of the door 20, making it inconvenient for the user to interact with the refrigerator 100 via voice, thus affecting the sound reception effect. It may also cause the first microphone hole 2121 to be too close to the ground, making it susceptible to interference from sound waves reflected from the ground, resulting in poor sound reception. Conversely, when the distance D between the first microphone hole 2121 and the bottom of the cabinet 10 is greater than 100mm, the height of the first microphone hole 2121 may be too high, far from the user's mouth in the height direction Z of the door 20, making it inconvenient for the user to interact with the refrigerator 100 via voice, also affecting the sound reception effect. Furthermore, if the first microphone hole 2121 is set too high, it will enter the user's line of sight, affecting the overall aesthetics of the refrigerator 100.

[0118] By limiting the distance D between the first microphone hole 2121 and the bottom of the cabinet 10 to 70mm≤D≤100mm, the position of the first microphone hole 2121 on the refrigerator 100 can be close to the height of the user's mouth, thereby facilitating voice interaction between the user and the refrigerator 100, improving the sound reception effect, and at the same time not affecting the overall aesthetics of the refrigerator 100.

[0119] It can be understood that the bottom end of the cabinet 10 is the end of the refrigerator 100 that contacts the placement surface (e.g., the ground). That is to say, when the refrigerator 100 is placed on the ground, the distance between the ground and the first sound hole 2121 is D.

[0120] In some embodiments, the refrigerator 100 includes a microphone 30, which is used to implement the voice interaction function of the refrigerator 100. Specifically, the microphone 30 has a second sound receiving hole 31, which can be connected to a first sound receiving hole 2121 to receive the sound signal transmitted by the first sound receiving hole 2121.

[0121] Please refer to the following: Figures 4 to 7 , Figure 4 This is one of the structural schematic diagrams of the door provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 5 This is one of the exploded views of the door provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 6 This is the second structural schematic diagram of the door provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 7This is a second exploded view of the door body provided in an embodiment of this application. In some embodiments, the door body 20 includes a door panel body 21 and a fixed end cap 22. The door panel body 21 is provided with a first sound receiving hole 2121 and a first mounting groove 2132a communicating with the first sound receiving hole 2121. The fixed end cap 22 forms a mounting space 22a. The microphone 30 is disposed on the fixed end cap 22 and located in the mounting space 22a. The fixed end cap 22 is used to cover the first mounting groove 2132a. By first placing the microphone 30 on the fixed end cap 22 and located in the mounting space 22a, and then covering the first mounting groove 2132a with the fixed end cap 22 containing the microphone 30, the microphone 30 can be stably installed on the door panel body 21, while also effectively improving assembly efficiency and assembly accuracy.

[0122] It is understandable that the height direction Z of the door body 20 can be the height direction Z of the door panel body 21, and correspondingly, the width direction Y of the door body 20 can be the width direction Y of the door panel body 21, and the thickness direction X of the door body 20 can be the thickness direction X of the door panel body 21.

[0123] In some embodiments, storage room 101 includes a first sub-storage room 101a (see...) Figure 3 The first sub-storage room 101a and the second sub-storage room 101a (not shown) are located below the first sub-storage room 101a along the height direction Z of the door panel body 21. The door panel body 21 includes a first door body 21a and a second door body 21b. The first door body 21a is used to close or open the first sub-storage room 101a, and the second door body 21b is used to close or open the second sub-storage room.

[0124] In some embodiments, the first door body 21a includes an inner surface 2133 (not shown), an outer surface 212, and a peripheral surface 213. The outer surface 212 and the inner surface 2133 are disposed opposite to each other along the thickness direction X of the door body 21. A first sound-receiving hole 2121 is formed on the outer surface 212, and the peripheral surface 213 is connected to the inner surface 2133 and the outer surface 212. It can be understood that when the first door body 21a is used to close the first sub-storage compartment 101a, the outer surface 212 is the side surface 2133 of the first door body 21a facing the user, and the inner surface 2133 is the side surface 2133 of the first door body 21a facing the first sub-storage compartment 101a.

[0125] In some embodiments, the first sound-receiving hole 2121 is formed on the outer surface 212, and the first mounting groove 2132a is formed on the peripheral side surface 213. By setting the first sound-receiving hole 2121 on the outer surface 212 and the first mounting groove 2132a on the peripheral side surface 213, not only can the fixed end cover 22 be hidden on the peripheral side surface 213 of the first door body 21a, improving the overall aesthetics of the refrigerator 100, but also the first sound-receiving hole 2121 can be directed towards the user to receive sound. Connecting the first sound-receiving hole 2121 to the second sound-receiving hole 31 of the microphone 30 can help improve the sound reception effect of the microphone 30.

[0126] Of course, as another embodiment, the first sound hole 2121 may also be opened on the peripheral side 213, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0127] In some embodiments, the peripheral side surface 213 includes an upper surface 2131, a lower surface 2132, and a side surface 2133. The lower surface 2132 and the upper surface 2131 are spaced apart along the height direction Z of the door panel body 21. The side surface 2133 connects the upper surface 2131 and the lower surface 2132. A first mounting groove 2132a is formed on the lower surface 2132. The first mounting groove 2132a being formed on the lower surface 2132 of the first door body 21a facilitates the installation or removal of the microphone 30 by maintenance personnel from below the door body 20, without affecting the aesthetics of the refrigerator 100. Furthermore, the location of the first mounting groove 2132a on the lower surface 2132 of the first door body 21a, meaning the microphone 30 is positioned close to the lower surface 2132 of the first door body 21a, allows the microphone 30 to be positioned close to the user's mouth height, facilitating voice interaction between the user and the refrigerator 100, improving sound reception without compromising the overall aesthetics of the refrigerator 100.

[0128] In addition, the lower surface 2132 is set towards the ground. Compared with opening the first mounting groove 2132a on the upper surface 2131 or side surface 2133 of the first door body 21a, it can effectively reduce the entry of dust and other impurities into the first mounting groove 2132a, thereby keeping the microphone 30 clean and in good working condition.

[0129] Of course, as other embodiments, the first mounting groove 2132a may also be formed on the upper surface 2131 of the first door body 21a, the side surface 2133 of the first door body 21a, the upper surface 2131 of the second door body 21b, the lower surface 2132 of the second door body 21b, or the side surface 2133 of the second door body 21b, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0130] Optionally, the storage room 101 may further include a third sub-storage room (not shown) and a fourth sub-storage room (not shown). Along the height direction Z of the door panel body 21, the fourth sub-storage room is located below the third sub-storage room. The first sub-storage room 101a and the third sub-storage room are spaced apart along the width direction Y of the door panel body 21, and the second sub-storage room and the fourth sub-storage room are also spaced apart along the width direction Y of the door panel body 21. Correspondingly, the door panel body 21 also includes a third door body 21c and a fourth door body 21d. The third door body 21c is used to close or open the third sub-storage room, and the fourth door body 21d is used to close or open the fourth sub-storage room. In this case, the first sound-receiving hole 2121 can be formed on the outer surface 212 of the third door body 21c, and the first mounting groove 2132a can be formed on the lower surface 2132 of the third door body 21c.

[0131] Of course, as other embodiments, the first mounting groove 2132a may also be formed on the upper surface 2131 of the third door body 21c, the side surface 2133 of the third door body 21c, the upper surface 2131 of the fourth door body 21d, the lower surface 2132 of the fourth door body 21d, or the side surface 2133 of the fourth door body 21d, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0132] The following description of this application uses the example of the first sound hole 2121 being opened on the outer surface 212 (i.e., the front surface 2133 facing the user) of the first door body 21a and the first mounting groove 2132a being opened on the lower surface 2132 of the first door body 21a.

[0133] Please refer to the following: Figures 8 to 10 , Figure 8 This is a front view of the door provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 9 for Figure 7 Sectional view of AA, Figure 10 for Figure 9 A partial enlarged view at point B. In some embodiments, the door body 20 further includes an abutment structure 23, which is configured to be installed in the mounting space 22a to abut against the microphone 30, so that when the fixed end cap 22 is placed on the first mounting groove 2132a, the microphone 30 can abut against the door panel body 21 and align and communicate with the second sound receiving hole 31 and the first sound receiving hole 2121.

[0134] The refrigerator 100 disclosed in this application fixes the microphone 30 to the fixed end cover 22. At the same time, an abutment structure 23 is installed in the installation space 22a of the fixed end cover 22. The abutment structure 23 applies force to the microphone 30 (i.e., abuts against the microphone 30), so that the microphone 30 can be held against the door panel body 21 by the action of the abutment structure 23. This allows the second sound receiving hole 31 of the microphone 30 to be aligned and connected with the first sound receiving hole 2121 on the door panel body 21. Due to the abutment action of the abutment structure 23, the microphone 30 can be firmly held against the door panel body 21, which effectively improves the installation accuracy and reliability of the microphone 30 on the door 20. This avoids problems such as displacement, loosening or falling off of the microphone 30 due to the frequent opening or closing of the door 20, which helps to ensure the sound reception effect of the refrigerator 100.

[0135] For example, the abutment structure 23 can be an elastic structure, such as a spring, a silicone block, or other structures with a certain elastic deformation capability. When the abutment structure 23 abuts against the microphone 30, it can apply a certain pressure to the microphone 30 using its own elastic deformation capability, thereby making the microphone 30 stably abut against the door panel body 21. This design can not only effectively improve the installation accuracy and stability of the microphone 30, but also buffer external impact forces to a certain extent and protect the microphone 30 from damage.

[0136] Optionally, a first sealing element (not shown) is provided between the microphone 30 and the door panel body 21. The first sealing element surrounds the outer periphery of the first sound receiving hole 2121 and the second sound receiving hole 31. The first sealing element can be, for example, sealing foam or sealing film. When the microphone 30 is installed on the door panel body 21, the first sealing element can fill the gap between the microphone 30 and the door panel body 21, preventing dust, moisture and other impurities from entering the microphone 30 through the gap and affecting the microphone 30's sound reception effect and service life. At the same time, the first sealing element can also play a certain role in shock absorption, further protecting the microphone 30.

[0137] Please refer to the following: Figures 11 to 14 , Figure 11 This is one of the structural schematic diagrams of the first cover, the second cover, the abutment structure, and the microphone provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 12 This is a second schematic diagram of the structure of the first cover, the second cover, the abutment structure, and the microphone provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 13 This is one of the exploded views of the first cover, the second cover, the abutment structure, and the microphone provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 14This is a second exploded view of the first cover, the second cover, the abutment structure, and the microphone provided in the embodiments of this application. In some embodiments, the abutment structure 23 includes an abutment portion 231 and a deformable portion 232. The abutment portion 231 is used to abut the microphone 30. The deformable portion 232 and the abutment portion 231 are connected and a deformation space is formed between them. The deformation space is used to provide space for the deformable portion 232 to deform relative to the abutment portion 231 when it is subjected to force. The deformable portion 232 is configured to abut against the fixed end cap 22 when the abutment portion 231 is installed in the mounting space 22a, so that the abutment portion 231 abuts against the microphone 30.

[0138] On the one hand, when the abutment structure 23 extends into the mounting space 22a of the fixed end cap 22, the deformation portion 232 on the abutment structure 23 provides deformation space for the abutment structure 23, allowing it to extend into the mounting space 22a more smoothly. On the other hand, when the abutment structure 23 is installed in the mounting space 22a of the fixed end cap 22, the deformation portion 232 on the abutment structure 23 abuts against the fixed end cap 22, allowing the abutment portion 231 to abut against the microphone 30, thereby ensuring that the microphone 30 is stably held against the door panel body 21. This design not only effectively improves the installation accuracy and stability of the microphone 30, but also adapts to microphones 30 of different sizes, improving the versatility and practicality of the microphone 30. Simultaneously, the deformation portion 232 can also buffer external impacts to a certain extent, protecting the microphone 30 from damage and extending its service life.

[0139] It is understood that the abutting structure 23 is generally block-shaped or plate-shaped. For example, the abutting part 231 can be a block-shaped structure, column-shaped structure, plate-shaped structure, etc. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0140] Correspondingly, the deformable part 232 can also be a plate-like structure, a strip-like structure, a rib-like structure, etc., and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0141] In some embodiments, the abutment structure 23 is configured to provide a holding force to the microphone 30 along the first direction F1, so that the microphone 30 abuts against the door panel body 21. The fixed end cap 22 is provided with a first buckle portion 22b along the second direction F2, and the abutment structure 23 is provided with a first locking portion 233. When the abutment structure 23 is installed in the installation space 22a, the first buckle portion 22b and the first locking portion 233 are engaged. The second direction F2 intersects the first direction F1. By engaging the first buckle portion 22b and the first locking portion 233, the movement of the abutment structure 23 along the second direction F2 in the installation space 22a can be restricted, preventing the abutment structure 23 from leaving the installation space 22a (that is, preventing the abutment portion 231 from falling off the fixed end cap 22), while not affecting the abutment action of the abutment portion 231 against the microphone 30 along the first direction F1, thereby improving the installation stability of the abutment structure 23 on the fixed end cap 22 and ensuring the installation stability of the microphone 30. This design is not only simple in structure, but the snap-fit ​​connection method also makes it easy to disassemble and maintain the abutment structure 23.

[0142] For example, the first buckle 22b and the first locking part 233 can be elastic buckles, barbed buckles, etc., which can achieve a stable fastening connection. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0143] It is understood that when the first direction F1 is the direction from the outer surface 212 to the inner surface 2133 (that is, the thickness direction X of the door panel body 21), the second direction F2 can be the height direction Z or the width direction Y of the door panel body 21; when the first direction F1 is the width direction Y of the door panel body 21, the second direction F2 can be the height direction Z or the thickness direction X of the door panel body 21; when the first direction F1 is the height direction Z of the door panel body 21, the second direction F2 can be the width direction Y or the thickness direction X of the door panel body 21. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0144] The specific structure of the fixed end cap 22 will be described in detail below.

[0145] Please refer to the following: Figure 15 and Figure 16 , Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram of the fixed end cap, microphone, and abutment structure provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 16 An exploded view of the fixed end cap, microphone, and abutment structure provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0146] In some embodiments, the fixed end cover 22 includes a cover plate portion 22c and a side plate portion 22d. The side plate portion 22d surrounds and connects to the cover plate portion 22c, forming an installation space 22a with the cover plate portion 22c. The side plate portion 22d has a clearance hole 22e communicating with the second microphone hole 31. The microphone 30 is disposed on the side plate portion 22d, and the second microphone hole 31 is disposed corresponding to the clearance hole 22e. When the cover plate portion 22c covers the first mounting groove 2132a, the side plate portion 22d at least partially abuts against the door panel body 21, so that the clearance hole 22e communicates with the first microphone hole 2121. By providing the clearance hole 22e on the side plate portion 22d and disposing of the microphone 30 on the side plate portion 22d, with the clearance hole 22e communicating with the second microphone hole 31 of the microphone 30, the microphone 30 is securely installed on the fixed end cover 22. Furthermore, when the cover plate 22c is placed over the first mounting groove 2132a, it also protects and supports the microphone 30 and the abutment structure 23, preventing them from being damaged by external impacts. Simultaneously, the mounting space 22a formed by the cover plate 22c and the side plate 22d also provides some dust and water protection for the microphone 30, further protecting its performance and lifespan.

[0147] Specifically, in the above embodiment, the side panel 22d can be formed by two panels arranged opposite each other along the thickness direction X of the door panel body 21 and two panels arranged opposite each other along the width direction Y of the door panel body 21 (that is, four panels form a fully enclosed structure), and an avoidance hole 22e is provided on one of the panels along the thickness direction X of the door panel body 21, through which the microphone 30 indirectly abuts against the door panel body 21.

[0148] Of course, as another embodiment, the side panel 22d can also be formed by a panel that is arranged opposite to each other along the thickness direction X of the door panel body 21 and two panels that are arranged opposite to each other along the width direction Y of the door panel body 21 (that is, the three panels form a semi-enclosed structure). In this case, the microphone 30 can directly abut against the door panel body 21.

[0149] Understandably, the shape and size of the clearance hole 22e are matched with the second microphone hole 31 to ensure smooth communication between the second microphone hole 31 and the clearance hole 22e, thereby improving the microphone 30's sound pickup performance.

[0150] Combination Figure 16Optionally, the fixed end cover 22 has an end cover surface 22g, which can be the end face of the cover plate portion 22c facing away from the side plate portion 22d. When the first mounting groove 2132a is opened on the peripheral side surface 213 of the door panel body 21, and the fixed end cover 22 is placed on the first mounting groove 2132a, the end cover surface 22g is flush with the peripheral side surface 213 of the door panel body 21. By setting the end cover surface 22g to be flush with the peripheral side surface 213 of the door panel body 21, not only can the neat and beautiful appearance of the refrigerator 100 be maintained, but the fixed end cover 22 can also be prevented from protruding from the peripheral side surface 213 of the door panel body 20 and scratching the user, thereby improving the safety of using the refrigerator 100.

[0151] In some embodiments, a protrusion 22f is provided on the side panel 22d, and a recess 32 is provided on the microphone 30. The recess 32 and the protrusion 22f are connected to each other to limit the position of the microphone 30 on the side panel 22d. By setting the connection between the protrusion 22f and the recess 32, the microphone 30 is pre-positioned on the side panel 22d. This connection method is not only simple to operate, but also effectively improves the installation accuracy and stability of the microphone 30, avoiding problems such as displacement, loosening or falling off of the microphone 30 during use, thereby ensuring the sound reception effect of the refrigerator 100. At the same time, this design also facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the microphone 30, improving the practicality and convenience of the refrigerator 100.

[0152] Furthermore, after the microphone 30 is pre-positioned on the side plate 22d by the cooperation of the protrusion 22f and the recess 32, the second sound-receiving hole 31 of the microphone 30 can be connected to the clearance hole 22e on the side plate 22d by means of glue bonding, screw locking or snap connection, thereby improving the stable installation of the microphone 30 on the fixed end cover 22 and improving the sound reception effect of the refrigerator 100.

[0153] For example, the protrusion 22f can be configured as a columnar structure, a block structure, or other structure that can extend into the recess 32 to achieve a mating connection, while the recess 32 is correspondingly configured to match the shape and size of the protrusion 22f to ensure that the microphone 30 can be accurately and securely mounted on the side plate 22d.

[0154] Optionally, a second seal (not shown) is provided between the microphone 30 and the side plate 22d. This second seal is located at the clearance hole 22e and can be a sealing membrane, sealing foam, etc. The second seal not only transmits the vibration energy of external sound but also effectively prevents dust, moisture, and other impurities from entering the microphone 30, ensuring the microphone 30's sound pickup performance and lifespan. Simultaneously, the second seal also acts as a buffer, further protecting the microphone 30 from damage caused by external impacts. This design not only improves the microphone 30's sound pickup performance but also enhances its durability and reliability.

[0155] For example, when the microphone 30 is a long strip structure, the structure of the fixed end cap 22 can be a rectangular frame, a square frame, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0156] In some embodiments, the abutment structure 23 has a protrusion 234 on the side near the microphone 30. The protrusion 234 is configured to abut against the microphone 30 so that the microphone 30 rests against the side plate portion 22d. Adding a protrusion 234 to the abutment structure 23 on the side near the microphone 30, which abuts against the microphone 30, effectively reduces the contact area between the microphone 30 and the abutment structure 23, thereby reducing the pressure exerted by the abutment structure 23 on the microphone 30. This design not only facilitates the secure mounting of the microphone 30 on the side plate portion 22d but also effectively improves the structural stability of the microphone 30.

[0157] For example, the protrusion 234 can be elongated, block-shaped, disc-shaped, etc., and the embodiments of this application do not limit it in this way.

[0158] In some embodiments, the fixed end cap 22 includes a first cover 221 and a second cover 222. The first cover 221 is used to cover the first mounting groove 2132a. A second mounting groove 221a is provided on the side of the first cover 221 facing the interior of the first mounting groove 2132a, and the second mounting groove 221a communicates with the first mounting groove 2132a. The second cover 222 is connected to the first cover 221 to cover the opening of the second mounting groove 221a, and an installation space 22a is formed on the second cover 222.

[0159] By configuring the fixed end cap 22 to include a first cover 221 and a second cover 222, with the first cover 221 covering the first mounting groove 2132a and the second cover 222 connected to the first cover 221 and fitting into the second mounting groove 221a, the microphone 30 is concealed inside the door panel body 21. This not only improves the overall aesthetics of the refrigerator 100 but also protects the microphone 30 from damage. Simultaneously, an mounting space 22a is formed on the second cover 222. Placing the microphone 30 within this space improves its mounting performance on the door panel body 21. When the first cover 221 and the second cover 222 are connected, the microphone 30 is firmly abutted against the door panel body 21, ensuring its mounting accuracy and stability. This design is simple, easy to implement, and effectively improves the sound reception of the refrigerator 100.

[0160] Furthermore, other devices such as a speaker (not shown) and a light-emitting element (not shown) can also be installed on the first cover 221 to enrich the functions of the refrigerator 100.

[0161] Specifically, when the first mounting groove 2132a is opened on the lower surface 2132 of the first door body 21a, and the first cover 221 and the second cover 222 are both located on the lower surface 2132 of the first door body 21a, the second cover 222 is set in the second mounting groove 221a of the first cover 221. First, the first cover 221 is placed on the first mounting groove 2132a, then the microphone 30 is installed on the second cover 222, and then the second cover 222 is closed on the second mounting groove 221a. This ensures that the microphone 30 is not affected by other installation steps, and that the installation position of the microphone 30 on the second cover 222 ensures the installation position of the microphone 30 on the door body 21. This ensures that the microphone 30 can be stably held against the door body 21, thereby effectively improving the sound reception effect of the refrigerator 100.

[0162] It is understood that when the fixed end cap 22 includes a first cover body 221 and a second cover body 222, the second cover body 222 may include the cover plate portion 22c and the side plate portion 22d mentioned above, and the cover plate portion 22c and the side plate portion 22d surround and connect to form an installation space 22a for setting the microphone 30.

[0163] Combination Figure 17 , Figure 17 for Figure 15A partial enlarged view at point C. In some embodiments, the second cover 222 is further provided with a second locking part 2221, and the first cover 221 is provided with a second fastening part 2211. The second fastening part 2211 and the second locking part 2221 are fastened together to fix the second cover 222 onto the first cover 221. The fastening connection between the second locking part 2221 and the second fastening part 2211 makes it easier to disassemble or install the second cover 222, while ensuring the stability of the connection between the second cover 222 and the first cover 221. This avoids problems such as loosening or falling off the second cover 222 during use, and helps to improve the installation stability of the second cover 222 on the first cover 221, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the microphone 30 and ensuring the sound reception effect of the refrigerator 100.

[0164] For example, the second latching part 2221 can be configured as a latching block or latching hook protruding from the surface of the second cover 222, while the second buckling part 2211 is correspondingly configured as a buckling groove or buckling hole recessed into the surface of the first cover 221.

[0165] In some embodiments, the first cover 221 is provided with a first connecting hole 2212, and the second cover 222 is provided with a second connecting hole 2222. The second connecting hole 2222 communicates with the first connecting hole 2212, and both the second connecting hole 2222 and the first connecting hole 2212 are used for fasteners (not shown) to pass through, so that the second cover 222 is fixedly connected to the first cover 221. To further improve the connection stability between the first cover 221 and the second cover 222, this application also provides the first connecting hole 2212 and the second connecting hole 2222 on the first cover 221 and the second cover 222, respectively, and uses fasteners to fix the second cover 222 to the first cover 221, thereby effectively improving the connection stability between the second cover 222 and the first cover 221. This design is not only structurally stable, but also easy to disassemble and maintain, improving the reliability and practicality of the microphone 30. Meanwhile, the placement of the first connecting hole 2212 and the second connecting hole 2222 also facilitates the adjustment of the relative position between the second cover 222 and the first cover 221, thereby ensuring that the microphone 30 can be accurately installed on the door panel body 21 to achieve the best sound reception effect.

[0166] For example, the fastener can be a screw, bolt, etc., which is inserted into the first connecting hole 2212 and the second connecting hole 2222 to firmly fix the second cover 222 onto the first cover 221.

[0167] In some embodiments, the second cover 222 is further provided with an extension post 2223, which is located on the outer periphery of the second connecting hole 2222. The extension post 2223 is hollow inside to communicate with the second connecting hole 2222. The second connecting hole 2222, the hollow part of the extension post 2223, and the first connecting hole 2212 are configured for fasteners to pass through. The second cover 222 is provided with an extension post 2223 with a hollow interior, and the hollow part of the extension post 2223 is correspondingly connected to the second connecting hole 2222. The second connecting hole 2222, the hollow part of the extension post 2223, and the first connecting hole 2212 are configured for fasteners to pass through. Since the distance between the first connecting hole 2212 and the second connecting hole 2222 is large, the extension post 2223 can guide, support, and fix the fasteners, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the fastener connection between the first connecting hole 2212 and the second connecting hole 2222.

[0168] It is understandable that the hollow part of the extension column 2223 refers to the space formed inside the extension column 2223 for fasteners to pass through.

[0169] In some embodiments, when the abutment structure 23 is installed in the installation space 22a, the side of the abutment structure 23 facing away from the microphone 30 abuts against the extension post 2223. By utilizing the extension post 2223 to further support and fix the abutment structure 23, the stability of the abutment structure 23 in the installation space 22a is improved. This design not only effectively prevents the abutment structure 23 from shaking or shifting during installation, but also ensures that the abutment structure 23 applies a stable holding force to the microphone 30, allowing the microphone 30 to be stably held against the door panel body 21, further improving the sound reception of the refrigerator 100. At the same time, the abutment structure 23 abutting against the extension post 2223 also avoids obstructing the first connecting hole 2212 and the second connecting hole 2222, thereby ensuring that the fasteners can be smoothly inserted into the first connecting hole 2212 and the second connecting hole 2222, achieving a stable connection between the second cover 222 and the first cover 221. This design is not only compact but also highly functional, effectively improving the reliability and stability of the refrigerator 100 radio component.
