[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same or corresponding parts are designated by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will not be repeated. In the following description, a refrigerator will be taken as an example of storage cabinet 1. The basic structure for cooling or freezing contents in the refrigerator and the materials of the refrigerator are the same as those of known refrigerators, and therefore detailed description thereof will be omitted.
[0010] [Overall configuration] First, the overall configuration of a storage facility 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 is a front view showing the exterior of the storage facility 1 according to this embodiment. Figure 2 is a front view showing the state in which the door body 20 of the storage facility 1 in Figure 1 is open. In the following description, the vertical direction when the storage facility 1 is placed in a state in which it is generally used is defined as the up-down direction. Furthermore, the side of the storage facility 1 on which the door body 20 is provided is defined as the front side, and the front-rear direction is defined as the direction perpendicular to the up-down direction and the left-right direction. Furthermore, the left-right direction is defined as the direction perpendicular to the up-down direction and the left-right direction.
[0011] 1 and 2, storage compartment 1 is shown as a refrigerator having a refrigerator compartment 1a and a freezer compartment 1b, but storage compartment 1 is not limited to the type of refrigerator shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. For example, storage compartment 1 may be a refrigerator having only a refrigerator compartment, or a refrigerator having a refrigerator compartment, a freezer compartment, and a vegetable compartment. Storage compartment 1 is not limited to a refrigerator, but may be any container that can hold a plurality of items 40, such as a cupboard or food storage compartment. In this case, the cupboard or food storage compartment may have the same basic structure and material as known cupboards and food storage compartments, or may be different.
[0012] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the storage facility 1 includes a storage facility main body 10, a door body 20, and a viewing direction adjusting means 30.
[0013] The storage body 10 stores items 40, such as food. The storage body 10 is box-shaped with an opening 11 on the front. Inside the storage body 10, there are multiple shelves 12 arranged at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction. The shelves 12 are plate-shaped and have approximately the same shape and dimensions as the horizontal cross section of the internal space of the storage body 10.
[0014] The door body 20 has a plate shape large enough to cover the opening 11 of the storage body 10. The door body 20 is attached to the storage body 10 and covers the opening 11 of the storage body 10 in an openable and closable manner. The door body 20 has a transparent display 21 on at least a part thereof. Specifically, the door body 20 has an opening 201 on at least a part thereof, and the transparent display 21 is fitted into and fixed to the opening 201 of the door body 20. The transparent display 21 is provided so that the interior of the storage body 10 can be seen through the transparent display 21 from outside the storage body 10. Note that a known liquid crystal display, organic EL display, or the like is used for the transparent display 21. When the transparent display 21 is configured to have a liquid crystal display, a light source for backlighting is provided inside the storage body 10.
[0015] At least a part of the transparent display 21 is arranged opposite to a storage space in the interior space of the storage body 10 in which stored items 40 are stored, which can be viewed by changing the viewing direction using the viewing direction adjusting means 30.
[0016] The transparent display 21 also displays the position of the storage space where the viewing direction adjustment means 30 is provided. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 1, the transparent display 21 displays an arbitrary mark 50 such as a fish at a position facing the storage space where the viewing direction adjustment means 30 is provided. This allows the user to recognize at a glance that the viewing direction adjustment means 30 is provided in the area where the mark 50 is located.
[0017] The method of indicating the position of the storage space where the viewing direction adjustment means 30 is provided is not limited to attaching the mark 50. For example, the position facing the storage space where the viewing direction adjustment means 30 is provided may be highlighted by encircling it, for example.
[0018] The viewing direction adjusting means 30 allows the contained item 40 to be viewed from a side other than the side facing the opening 11 when the contained item 40 is stored in the storage body 10. The viewing direction adjusting means 30 is provided inside the storage body 10. The viewing direction adjusting means 30 may have, for example, at least one of a turntable and a photographing device such as a camera.
[0019] 2 shows a configuration in which the storage facility 1 is equipped with one turntable 30a and one photographing device 30b as the viewing direction adjustment means 30. Note that the viewing direction adjustment means 30 of the storage facility 1 may be equipped with only one of the turntable 30a or the photographing device 30b. Furthermore, the viewing direction adjustment means 30 of the storage facility 1 may be equipped with multiple turntables 30a and / or photographing devices 30b.
[0020] The door 20 is also provided with a touch panel 22 for operating the transmissive display 21 and the viewing direction adjusting means 30 (see FIG. 3). In this embodiment, the transparent touch panel 22 is disposed on the outer surface of the transmissive display 21.
[0021] Touch panel 22 indicates the viewing direction of viewing direction adjustment means 30. Touch panel 22 has a touch sensor, detects the approach or contact of a user's finger, a touch pen, or the like to touch panel 22, and outputs an electrical signal in response to the detection. For example, a known touch panel is used as touch panel 22.
[0022] The touch panel 22 may be provided at a location separate from the transparent display 21 of the door body 20. If the transparent display 21 has a built-in touch sensing function, there is no need to provide a separate touch panel 22.
[0023] The power for operating the transmissive display 21, the touch panel 22, and the viewing direction adjusting means 30 is taken from a control circuit of the storage 1 (refrigerator) via an electric signal line.
[0024] Next, the detailed configuration of the viewing direction adjusting means 30 will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0025] [Embodiment 1] First, the viewing direction adjusting means 30 of the storage facility 1 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the storage facility 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention taken along the line III-III in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the storage facility 1 taken along the line IV-IV in Fig. 3. In Fig. 3, the contained items 40 are shown as circles or squares. In Fig. 4, the contained items 40 are omitted.
[0026] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in the first embodiment, the viewing direction adjusting means 30 has a turntable 30a that can change the orientation of the placed item 40 by rotating.
[0027] The turntable 30a is provided inside the storage main body 10 on at least one of the shelf 12 or the bottom surface 101 (see FIG. 2) of the storage main body 10. The turntable 30a includes a base 31a and a motor 32a.
[0028] The base 31a has, for example, a substantially circular disk shape in a plan view, and a diameter that is, for example, substantially equal to or slightly smaller than the diameter of a circle inscribed on the outer edge of the shelf 12 or bottom surface 101 on which the base 31a is placed.
[0029] The motor 32a drives the base 31a to rotate, and is preferably a motor that can rotate the base 31a both clockwise and counterclockwise by changing the direction of rotation.
[0030] The turntable 30a is provided such that a base 31a and a motor 32a are embedded in the shelf 12 and the top surface of the base 31a is flat with the top surface of the shelf 12.
[0031] The transparent display 21 is disposed opposite the storage space of the shelf 12 or the bottom surface 101 on which the turntable 30a is provided. Specifically, the transparent display 21 is provided at a position opposite the space above the shelf 12 or the bottom surface 101 on which the turntable 30a is provided, i.e., the space between the shelf 12 or the bottom surface 101 and the upper surface 102 (see FIG. 2) of the adjacent shelf 12 or the storage body 10.
[0032] The transparent display 21 also displays the location of the storage space of the shelf 12 on which the turntable 30a is provided or the storage space on the bottom surface 101 of the storage body 10. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 1, the transparent display 21 displays an arbitrary mark 50 such as a fish at a position facing the storage space in which the turntable 30a is provided. This allows the user to recognize at a glance that the viewing direction adjustment means 30 is provided in the area where the mark 50 is located.
[0033] Next, a method for checking the contents 40 using the viewing direction adjusting means 30 will be described.
[0034] First, the user places the item 40 on the base 31a of the turntable 30a. Then, the user can view the item 40 stored in the front side of the storage cabinet 1, i.e., the item 40 stored in the position opposite the opening 11 of the storage cabinet main body 10, through the see-through display 21.
[0035] The user rotates the turntable 30a using the operation buttons on the touch panel 22 to check the items 40 stored at the back of the storage room 1. Here, we will assume that a right arrow button and a left arrow button are displayed on the touch panel 22 and the user wants to check the items 40 stored on the right side.
[0036] The user presses the right arrow button on the touch panel 22. The turntable 30a rotates counterclockwise, for example, while the user is pressing the right arrow button. The user stops pressing the right arrow button when the item 40 that the user wants to view comes to the front. The user then views the item 40 through the see-through display 21.
[0037] When the user has finished viewing the items 40, the user presses the right arrow button or the left arrow button to return the turntable 30a to its initial position. Here, the initial position refers to the position where, when the items 40 are stored in the storage cabinet 1, the items 40 stored at the front are again at the front. By using the left arrow button, the turntable 30a can be rotated clockwise. Note that the turntable 30a may rotate clockwise while the right arrow button is pressed, and may rotate counterclockwise while the left arrow button is pressed. Depending on the rotation position of the turntable 30a, the user can return the turntable 30a to its initial position in a short time by pressing the right arrow button or the left arrow button.
[0038] The turntable 30a may also be set to automatically return to its initial position. Specifically, a control device (not shown) that controls the rotation of the turntable 30a is given a command to return the turntable 30a to its initial position if the user does not operate the turntable 30a for a certain period of time. In this way, after finishing viewing the contents 40, for example, the turntable 30a will automatically return to its initial position even if the user does not perform an operation to return the turntable 30a to its initial position.
[0039] When checking the items 40 stored on the left side, the left arrow button is used to visually confirm the items. When checking the items 40 stored on the rear side, the right arrow button or the left arrow button is used to similarly confirm the items.
[0040] The screen for operating the turntable 30a is not limited to the above. For example, a right rotation button, a left rotation button, and a stop button may be displayed. In this case, for example, if the user wants to view the contents 40 on the right side, he or she presses the right rotation button. Then, when the user reaches the desired position, he or she presses the stop button. With this configuration, it is not necessary to keep pressing the buttons. In this case, an initial position button may be displayed, and pressing the initial position button may automatically return the turntable 30a to its initial position. In this configuration, the turntable 30a may automatically return to its initial position after one rotation, in addition to when no instruction is received for a predetermined period of time. This reduces the user's effort in returning the turntable 30a to its initial position.
[0041] Furthermore, an operation method such as "Please slide" may be displayed on the touch panel 22. When the user slides a finger, a touch pen, or the like on the touch panel 22 based on the displayed operation method, the turntable 30a may rotate according to the direction and amount of the slide.
[0042] Alternatively, a top view of the turntable 30a may be displayed on the touch panel 22. When the user presses a desired position on the touch panel 22, the turntable 30a may automatically rotate to that position.
[0043] Next, a modified example of the first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a modified example of the storage 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, taken along the line IV-IV in Fig. 3.
[0044] Although the above describes a configuration in which the base 31a and motor 32a of the turntable 30a are embedded in the shelf 12, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in Fig. 5, a configuration in which a portion of the base 31a of the turntable 30a protrudes upward from the upper surface of the shelf 12 is also possible. Alternatively, a configuration in which the entire turntable 30a including the base 31a and motor 32a is placed on the upper surface of the shelf 12 is also possible.
[0045] [Embodiment 2] Next, the viewing direction adjusting means 30 of the storage facility 1 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the storage facility 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention taken along the line III-III in Fig. 1. In Fig. 6, the stored items 40 are schematically shown as circles, squares, or the like. Below, differences between the second embodiment and the first embodiment will be described.
[0046] 6, in the second embodiment, the viewing direction adjusting means 30 has a photographing device 30b. When the item 40 is stored in the storage cabinet main body 10, the photographing device 30b photographs the item 40 from a side facing the opening 11, i.e., from a side other than the front side.
[0047] The camera 30b is fixedly installed inside the storage body 10, for example, on the back surface 103, the side surface 104, or the corner 105 formed by the back surface 103 and the side surface 104 of the storage body 10. Figure 6 shows the state where it is attached to the back surface 103 of the storage body 10. The camera 30b is installed in at least one of the compartments separated into upper and lower sections by the shelves 12 of the storage body 10.
[0048] The photographing device 30b is, for example, a camera. The photographing device 30b is preferably one with a wide angle that can photograph many contained items 40. The image photographed by the photographing device 30b is sent to the transmissive display 21 via a wired or wireless connection and displayed thereon. At this time, it is preferable that the image photographed by the photographing device 30b is displayed on the transmissive display 21 at a position that does not overlap with a position where an item 40 placed in front of the photographed item 40 can be seen through the transmissive display 21.
[0049] The transmissive display 21 is disposed opposite the section in which the image capturing device 30b is installed, in a section vertically separated by the shelf 12. In addition, the transmissive display 21 has an area in which an image captured by the image capturing device 30b can be displayed.
[0050] Next, a method for checking the contents 40 using the viewing direction adjusting means 30 will be described.
[0051] The items 40 stored in the front of the storage cabinet 1, that is, the items 40 stored in a position opposite the opening 11 of the storage cabinet main body 10, can be viewed directly through the transmissive display 21.
[0052] The items 40 stored at the back of the storage facility 1 are photographed and confirmed by the photographing device 30b using the operation buttons of the photographing device 30b displayed on the touch panel 22. Specifically, an operation button for starting the operation of the photographing device 30b is displayed on the touch panel 22. When the user wants to confirm the items 40 stored at the back of the storage facility 1, the user presses the operation button. When the operation button is pressed, the photographing device 30b photographs the items 40. The image photographed by the photographing device 30b is displayed on the transmissive display 21 by a control device (not shown) that controls the photographing device 30b and the transmissive display 21.
[0053] The image displayed on the transparent display 21 is displayed at a position that does not overlap with the position at which the item 40 placed in front of the item 40 photographed in advance by the photographing device 30b can be seen. This is possible by setting the display position of the image photographed by the photographing device 30b in advance in a control device (not shown) that controls the operation of the photographing device 30b and the transparent display 21. The user can also move the position of the image displayed on the transparent display 21 by dragging the image. The user can check the item 40 stored at the back of the storage room 1 using the image displayed on the transparent display 21.
[0054] The image captured by the photographing device 30b can be confirmed on the translucent display 21, so that the contained items 40 can be confirmed on the spot while operating the photographing device 30b. Furthermore, by displaying the image displayed on the translucent display 21 at a position different from the position at which the contained items 40 placed in front of the contained items 40 photographed by the photographing device 30b can be seen, the contained items 40 in the front can be confirmed through the translucent display 21, while the contained items 40 in the rear can be confirmed in the image photographed by the photographing device 30b. In other words, the contained items 40 in the front and the contained items 40 in the rear can be confirmed at the same time.
[0055] Furthermore, an information display button for displaying information about the contained item 40 displayed on the transparent display 21 is displayed on the touch panel 22. The information about the contained item 40 is, for example, the expiration date of the contained item 40. When the user wants to check the information about the contained item 40 displayed on the transparent display 21, the user presses the information display button. When the information display button is pressed, the information about the contained item 40 is displayed on the transparent display 21.
[0056] Specifically, information about the items 40 is stored in advance in a control device (not shown) that operates the transparent display 21. The information about the items 40 is stored in the control device by being input, for example, from a smartphone, tablet, or the like owned by the user. In addition, a camera (not shown) is installed in the storage facility 1, and the information to be displayed when storing the items 40 in the storage facility 1 is photographed with the camera, and the information photographed by the camera is digitized and stored in the control device. When an instruction is received from the user, the information stored in the control device is read out and displayed on the transparent display 21.
[0057] Furthermore, information about the contained items 40 can also be displayed on the translucent display 21 as follows: The control device (not shown) processes the image captured by the photographing device 30b and reads information about the contained items 40 from the image captured by the photographing device 30b. Then, the photographing device displays the read information on the translucent display 21.
[0058] Next, a modified example of the second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 7 and Fig. 8. Fig. 7 is a front view showing a modified example of the storage facility 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 8 is a front view showing another modified example of the storage facility 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
[0059] Although the above description has been given of a configuration in which the photographing device 30b is fixed, the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the photographing device 30b can be movable. For example, the photographing device 30b may be fixed in its mounting position and configured to be oriented left and right or up and down for photographing. This allows photographing every corner of the contents 40 at the back even if the photographing device 30b does not have a wide angle of view.
[0060] 7, rails 13 may be provided on the back surface of the storage body 10, allowing the image capturing device 30b to move left and right (arrow A). The rails 13 may be provided on the side surfaces 104 of the storage body 10, or curved rails may be provided from the side surfaces 104 to the back surface 103.
[0061] 8, a rod-shaped support 14 extending through the shelf 12 may be provided at a corner 105 of the storage body 10, and the camera 30b may move up and down (arrow B) on the support 14. In this case, an opening is formed in the shelf 12 through which the support 14 and the camera 30b can pass. Note that the camera 30b may be fixed to the support, and the support may move up and down and rotate, thereby adjusting the camera area of the camera 30b.
[0062] The user can control the operation of the photographing device 30b using the touch panel 22. Specifically, for example, arrow buttons indicating the directions in which the photographing device 30b can move are displayed on the touch panel 22. The user presses the arrow buttons on the touch panel 22 to move the photographing device 30b and photograph the contained item 40, which is then displayed on the transmissive display 21 for visual confirmation.
[0063] When the user has finished viewing the contained item 40, the user presses the arrow button to return the photographing device 30b to its initial position. The photographing device 30b can be set to automatically return to its initial position. Specifically, a control device (not shown) that controls the operation of the photographing device 30b is instructed to return the photographing device 30b to its initial position if the user does not operate the photographing device 30b for a certain period of time. The control device is also instructed to return the photographing device 30b to its initial position after photographing the surface of the contained item 40 facing the opening 11, i.e., the entire surface of the contained item 40 other than the front surface. This allows the photographing device 30b to automatically return to its initial position without requiring any operation after viewing the contained item 40. This reduces the user's effort in returning the photographing device 30b to its initial position.
[0064] Furthermore, the image captured by the image capturing device 30b may be displayed on a smartphone, tablet, or the like owned by the user, instead of on the transmissive display 21.
[0065] As described above, the storage cabinet 1 of the present invention is provided with the viewing direction adjustment means 30, which allows the user to check the contents 40 placed at the back of the storage cabinet 1 without opening the door 20 of the storage cabinet 1. If the storage cabinet 1 is a refrigerator, the time required to open the door 20 can be minimized to the time required to remove the contents 40, thereby suppressing the temperature rise inside the refrigerator. As a result, the power required to lower and maintain the temperature inside the refrigerator to a predetermined temperature can be reduced. Furthermore, deterioration of food stored in the refrigerator can be prevented.
[0066] Furthermore, in a configuration equipped with a turntable 30a as in embodiment 1, the contents 40 that have just been placed in the storage cabinet 1 (refrigerator) can be cooled while being rotated on the turntable 30a, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the contents 40.
[0067] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and can be embodied in various forms without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, various inventions can be formed by appropriately combining multiple components disclosed in the above embodiments. The drawings mainly show each component in a schematic manner for ease of understanding, and the thickness, length, size, number, etc. of each illustrated component may be changed as appropriate.
