[0041] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "vertical", "horizontal", "above", "below", "upper side", "top surface" and "bottom surface" are all based on the corresponding view or the orientation in which the refrigerator is placed when it is in normal use.

[0042] Please see Figures 1-6 The present invention provides a refrigerator display device, which includes a display liner 17 and a display panel assembly 20.

[0043] The display liner 17 includes a first surface and a second surface arranged opposite to each other. The first surface is provided with a first groove 174 recessed towards the second surface. The sidewall of the first groove 174 is provided with a plurality of first latches 171 and a plurality of second latches 172 extending towards the center of the first groove 174. The plurality of first latches 171 and second latches 172 are arranged opposite to each other. The length of the first latches 171 extending towards the center of the first groove 174 is greater than the length of the second latches 172 extending towards the center of the first groove 174. The side of the first latches 171 near the second surface is provided with a guide surface 1712, and the guide surface 1712 is inclined.

[0044] At least a portion of the display panel assembly 20 is located within the first groove 174. The display panel assembly 20 includes a panel body. The opposite sides of the panel body are provided with a plurality of third latches 16 and a plurality of fourth latches 15. The length of the third latches 16 extending away from the center of the panel body is greater than the length of the fourth latches 15 extending away from the center of the panel body. The third latches 16 are engaged with the first latches 171, and the fourth latches 15 are engaged with the second latches 172.

[0045] When the display panel assembly 20 is assembled as a whole into the first groove 174 of the display liner 17, the longer third buckle 16 on the display panel assembly 20 is engaged with the longer first buckle 171 on the display liner 17, and the shorter third buckle 16 on the display panel assembly 20 is engaged with the shorter first buckle 171 on the display liner 17. In this way, the buckles between the display panel assembly 20 and the display liner 17 can be prevented from falling off and failing, thereby making the engagement between the display panel assembly 20 and the display liner 17 more stable and improving the reliability of the engagement between the display panel assembly 20 and the display liner 17.

[0046] The inclined guide surface 1712 on the first buckle 171 makes it easier for workers to quickly and obliquely insert the display panel assembly 20 into the display liner 17, thereby greatly improving the assembly efficiency between the display panel assembly 20 and the display liner 17 and reducing the labor intensity of workers. It also facilitates after-sales maintenance and disassembly.

[0047] The second buckle 172 is provided with a rib-type buckle groove, which facilitates the elastic locking of the display panel assembly, prevents the buckle from loosening and failing, and improves the reliability of the buckle connection.

[0048] Based on the above design, by providing the first buckle 171 and the second buckle 172 of different lengths on the display liner 17, and the third buckle 16 and the fourth buckle 15 of different lengths on the display panel assembly 20, and by providing an inclined guide surface 1712 on the first buckle 171, the stability of the engagement between the display panel assembly 20 and the display liner 17 can be improved, and the assembly between the display panel assembly 20 and the display liner 17 can be made easier.

[0049] In one possible implementation, please refer again. Figure 2 The first buckle 171 also includes a first plane 1711 on the side near the second surface. The first plane 1711 is connected to the guide surface 1712. The third buckle 16 includes an integrally formed inclined section 162 and a vertical section 161. The inclined section 162 is integrally formed with the side of the panel body. The vertical section 161 is in contact with the first plane 1711.

[0050] When the display panel assembly 20 is assembled as a whole into the first groove 174 of the display liner 17, the vertical section 161 of the third buckle 16 slides along the guide surface 1712 of the first buckle 171 to the first plane 1711 of the first buckle 171, thus facilitating the assembly between the display panel assembly 20 and the display liner 17.

[0051] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 6 The panel body 1 includes a third surface and a fourth surface arranged opposite to each other. The third surface is provided with a second groove 101 recessed in the direction of the fourth surface. The panel body 1 also includes a reinforcing rib 2 located on the third surface and protruding in the direction away from the fourth surface. The reinforcing rib 2 surrounds and forms the second groove 101. The plurality of third buckles 16 and the plurality of fourth buckles 15 are integrally formed with the reinforcing rib 2.

[0052] The reinforcing rib 2 can increase the strength of the panel body 1 and prevent the panel body 1 from warping and deforming. The plurality of third buckles 16 and the plurality of fourth buckles 15 are integrally formed with the reinforcing rib 2, which can improve the strength of the plurality of third buckles 16 and the plurality of fourth buckles 15, and also make it easier to snap the display panel assembly 20 and the display liner 17 together.

[0053] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The display liner 17 further includes a process support column 173 protruding from the first groove 174 in a direction away from the second surface. The second groove 101 is provided with a process clearance groove 7 recessed in a direction towards the fourth surface. At least a portion of the process support column 173 is located in the process clearance groove 7.

[0054] The clearance groove 7 can adjust the gap between the panel body 1 and the display liner 17, which can prevent interference when the display liner 17 is assembled with the panel body 1, thereby preventing the display panel assembly from having protrusion defects.

[0055] The process support column 173 can prevent the display liner 17 from foaming and bulging, thereby preventing it from affecting the assembly effect between the display panel assembly and the display liner 17, thus improving the reliability of the assembly between the display panel assembly and the display liner 17, and ultimately improving the overall quality and reliability of the display device.

[0056] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figures 8-11 The panel body 1 is provided with multiple sets of display holes penetrating the panel body 1. Each set of display holes includes multiple display sub-holes 103. The second groove 101 is provided with multiple anti-light leakage protrusions 8 protruding in a direction away from the fourth surface. The multiple anti-light leakage protrusions 8 correspond one-to-one with the multiple display sub-holes 103. The orthographic projection of the anti-light leakage protrusion 8 on the fourth surface covers the orthographic projection of the corresponding display sub-hole 103 on the fourth surface. The anti-light leakage protrusion 8 is provided with a light-transmitting hole 81 penetrating the anti-light leakage protrusion 8. The light-transmitting hole 81 communicates with the corresponding display sub-hole 103. The display panel assembly 20 also includes a display panel 13. The display panel 13 is installed in the second groove 101. The display panel 13 and the anti-light leakage protrusions 8 are in close contact with each other.

[0057] The panel body is a flat plate structure, and the display sub-hole 103 can be square in shape. The display panel 13 is tightly fitted with the anti-light leakage protrusion 8. The anti-light leakage protrusion 8 completely covers the LED beads on the display panel 13. The light emitted by the LED beads of the display panel 13 can only be emitted through the light-transmitting hole 81 and the display sub-hole 103. In this way, the light emitted by the display panel 13 is not easy to leak at the display sub-hole 103 of the panel body 1, thereby improving the user's experience of using the display panel assembly 20.

[0058] In one possible implementation, please refer again. Figure 6 , Figures 8-12 The fourth surface is provided with a third groove 102 recessed towards the third surface. The multiple sets of display holes are located in the third groove 102. The panel body 1 is also provided with a multiple first buttons 11.

The display panel 13 is provided with a multiple second buttons 131 on the side near the first buttons 11. The multiple second buttons 131 correspond one-to-one with the multiple first buttons 11.

[0059] The first button 11 can be a flexible button, and the second button 131 can be a mechanical button. Each set of display sub-holes 103 can be arranged in a row on the display body. One first button 11 can control the LED beads on the display panel 13 corresponding to a set of display sub-holes 103 to emit light. The user can press the first button 11, and after the first button 11 is pressed in the direction of the first surface, it will trigger the second button 131 on the display panel 13. The second button 131 can make different LED beads corresponding to the display sub-holes 103 emit light, thereby adjusting the corresponding functions.

[0060] That is, the display panel 13 is provided with multiple rows of mechanical electronic buttons and multiple rows of LED beads. The multiple rows of LED beads correspond one-to-one with the S-shaped elastic buttons and display holes on the panel body 1, so that the user can adjust the required function parameters of the refrigerator by pressing the buttons, and at the same time, the indicator lights indicate the temperature or function target required by the user.

[0061] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 13The panel body is provided with a plurality of button through holes 9, which communicate with the first groove 174 and the second groove 101. The first button 11 includes a pressing block 112 and a rib 111. At least two sides of the pressing block 112 are connected to the sidewall of the button through hole 9 through the rib 111. The first button 11 also includes a cylinder 113 located on the side of the pressing block 112 near the display panel 13. The cylinder 113 protrudes toward the display panel 13 and is disposed opposite to the second button 131.

[0062] For example, the two sides of the pressing block 112 are integrally formed with the sidewall of the button through hole 9 through the ribs 111. The ribs 111 on both sides of the pressing block 112 can be S-shaped and the ribs 111 on both sides of the pressing block 112 are asymmetrical relative to the pressing block 112. In this way, the elasticity of the first button 11 can be improved, the sensitivity of pressing the first button 11 can be improved, and thus the user's experience of pressing the first button 11 can be improved.

[0063] In one possible implementation, please refer again. Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 The reinforcing rib 2 is provided with a plurality of fifth buckles 5 and a plurality of sixth buckles 10 extending toward the center of the second groove 101. The plurality of fifth buckles 5 and the plurality of sixth buckles 10 are arranged opposite to each other. The display panel 13 is arranged in the second groove 101 through the plurality of fifth buckles 5 and the plurality of sixth buckles 10.

[0064] The fifth buckle 5 can prevent buckle failure and improve the reliability of buckle connection. The sixth buckle 10 can make the display panel 13 easier to assemble in the second groove 101, which can reduce the labor intensity of workers and improve assembly efficiency.

[0065] In one possible implementation, please refer again. Figure 10 and Figure 11 The panel body also includes a fixing post 21 located in the second groove 101. The fixing post 21 protrudes in a direction away from the fourth surface.

[0066] The fixing component can be a fixing screw 14. The display panel 13 can also be connected to the panel body 1 through the fixing screw 14. In this way, the stability of the connection between the display panel 13 and the panel body 1 can be further improved, the reliability of the connection of the display panel 13 can be enhanced, and the loosening of the display panel 13 when the user presses the display panel 13 with force can be prevented from affecting the user's tactile experience.

[0067] In one possible implementation, please refer again. Figure 9 and Figure 11 The fourth surface is provided with a third groove 102 recessed towards the third surface. The display panel assembly 20 also includes a display surface sticker 12 disposed in the third groove 102, which covers the plurality of display holes and the plurality of first buttons 11.

[0068] The display faceplate 12 can be designed as a transparent PC sheet component structure. The thickness of the display faceplate 12 is about 0.5mm. The front of the display faceplate 12 is printed or coated with functional or appearance patterns through processes such as screen printing, hot stamping, and transfer printing to beautify the display panel and provide user operation prompts. The back of the display faceplate 12 adopts a double-sided adhesive structure, which can achieve seamless assembly into the third groove 102 of the panel body 1. The display faceplate 12 matches the light-transmitting area, has better light transmission, and can make the appearance of the display panel assembly 20 simple and elegant.

[0069] The display hole and the first button 11 together can complete the function display of the display panel assembly 20. For example, the functions displayed on the display panel 12 include: refrigeration, freezing, and other functions. Each function button has a corresponding multiple temperature display. For example, refrigeration and freezing are respectively indicated by low, medium, and high temperatures. Each time the first button 11 is pressed, the low, medium, and high temperatures are adjusted. By repeatedly adjusting in this way, the desired temperature in the refrigeration or freezing compartment can be achieved.

[0070] Specifically, for example, a first button 11 and a second button 131 correspond to refrigeration. The first button 11 corresponds to a set of display holes with three display sub-holes 103. The three display sub-holes 103 correspond to three LED beads on the display panel 13, and the three display sub-holes 103 correspond to the three temperatures of refrigeration: weak, medium, and strong. When the user presses the first button 11 and triggers the second button 131, the three LED beads corresponding to the three temperatures of refrigeration (weak, medium, and strong) will light up repeatedly in a cycle to adjust and indicate the refrigeration temperature.

[0071] In one possible implementation, please refer again. Figure 6The reinforcing rib 2 is also provided with a supporting rib 3 extending toward the center of the second groove 101, and the display panel 13 is disposed in the second groove 101 through the supporting rib 3; the reinforcing rib 2 is also provided with a process groove 4 and a wiring port 6.

[0072] The fifth buckle 5 has process grooves 4 on both sides. The main function of the process grooves 4 is to improve the elasticity of the fifth buckle 5 and reduce the labor intensity of workers. The reinforcing rib 2 has a wiring port 6 on one side, which facilitates the insertion of wiring terminals. The main function of the supporting rib 3 is to facilitate the assembly of the display panel 13. The second groove 101 also has various clearance grooves, such as capacitor clearance grooves and electrical terminal clearance grooves. These clearance grooves can prevent the box depth from increasing significantly over a large area, causing condensation inside the box, thus affecting the safety of the display panel 13. At the same time, they can reduce the size of parts, reduce part costs, and prevent condensation on the surface of the panel body.

[0073] The display liner 17 has an electrical terminal connection port 6 inside, and the other surfaces are sealed. Its main function is to reduce sealing points, prevent leakage, improve production efficiency, and reduce the labor intensity of workers. The display liner 17 is designed with flanges around its perimeter. Its main function is to stick double-sided tape on it. It is fixed to the outer surface of the box liner 19 by combining with the double-sided tape. At the same time, it plays a sealing role by combining with the double-sided tape to prevent leakage of foaming liquid.

[0074] The flange around the display liner 17 has large chamfers at the four corners, which mainly serve to prevent sharp corners from injuring people, and at the same time can reduce the amount of material used, thereby reducing the cost of parts.

[0075] Optionally, the display panel 13 can also be connected to the panel body via the positioning pin 18, which can further improve the stability of the connection between the display panel 13 and the panel body.

[0076] Optionally, the panel body is also provided with bevels on all four sides, which helps to improve the aesthetics of the display panel assembly 20.

[0077] Optionally, please see again Figure 9 The panel body is also provided with multiple maintenance slots 104, which can be used to disassemble the display panel assembly 20 by means of special tools during maintenance, thus preventing damage to the display panel assembly 20 during maintenance.

[0078] Optionally, please see Figure 14 The second side of the display liner 17 can be a smooth surface design, which eliminates the need for the traditional crisscrossing reinforcing ribs 2, reduces component costs, and prevents the reinforcing ribs 2 from bumping into the hollow insulation board inside the box, causing the insulation board to leak and fail.

[0079] Optionally, the lower end of the display liner 17 is provided with a wiring groove, which facilitates the connection of the power cord inside the housing to the display panel 13.

[0080] In summary, this application solves the problems of low production efficiency and numerous assembly line processes caused by the one-to-one assembly of components in existing display devices through the mutual engagement of the third buckle 16 with the first buckle 171 and the mutual engagement of the fourth buckle 15 with the second buckle 172.
