Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a household appliance, such as a refrigerator, a washing machine, a dishwasher, an oven, a water heater, etc.
Background
A conventional household appliance, for example, a refrigeration appliance (such as a refrigerator) is generally provided with a controller for a user to operate, and the controller is activated when the user operates the refrigerator, for example, when a refrigerator door is opened, the controller is activated and generates power consumption. In addition, with the development of science and technology, the requirement of the user for the personalized operation of electric appliances such as refrigerators is higher and higher, and how to meet the requirement is one of the problems faced by designers.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides an improved household appliance, which meets the requirement of a user for personalized operation of the household appliance.
The invention provides a household appliance, which comprises a central control system; the projection controller is used for forming a virtual control interface on the projection medium through projection for a user to operate; the projection controller is used for sensing the operation of a user on the virtual control interface, generating an operation signal and transmitting the operation signal to the central control system; the central control system is arranged to perform a corresponding control action on the household appliance according to the operation signal.
The invention has the advantages that the control interface for the user operation is a virtual control interface and is formed by projection of the projection controller. When the refrigerator is not used, the virtual control interface is not displayed, and the overall effect of the refrigerator is not influenced; when a user has an operation requirement, the projection controller can project to form a virtual control interface for the user to operate, and a more modern projection touch effect is brought. The traditional controller is in an inactive state, only the backlight is not on, but standby power consumption is generated; the projection controller of the present invention can be set to a power-off state when not in use, i.e., without standby power consumption.
The invention can be applied to household appliances such as refrigerators (such as refrigerators, freezers and wine chests), washing machines, dish washing machines, electric ovens, water heaters, air conditioners and the like with storage chambers.
In addition, the user can set the turn-on condition of the projection controller. In one embodiment, the user may set the user to enter a certain operation range as the on condition. For example, a distance sensor may be further included in the household appliance, having a sensing area, and configured to detect whether a user enters the sensing area; when it is detected that a user enters a sensing area (i.e., an operation range) of the distance sensor, the distance sensor may send a sensing signal to the central control system, and the central control system may control the projection controller to be turned on according to the sensing signal. If it is detected that the user does not leave the sensing area, the projection controller and the virtual control interface are in an activated state. When detecting that the user leaves the sensing area of the distance sensor, the central control system controls the projection controller to be turned off or enters a sleep mode.
The arrangement of the distance sensor enables the household electric appliance to have a human body induction function, and a user can also manually turn off the function, namely turn off the distance sensor and manually turn on the function when needed.
In another embodiment, the user may set the user to perform a certain operation as the on condition. For example, a manual starting device may be further included in the household appliance, and a user may manually start or stop the projection controller by operating the manual starting device. The manual starting device can be electrically connected or in communication connection with the central control system, transmits an operation signal of a user to the central control system, and then sends an opening or closing instruction to the projection controller by the central control system. Alternatively, the manual starting device can be directly connected with the projection controller to directly start or stop the projection controller.
Wherein the manual activation means may be a button, touch means or other means.
It can be seen that in a conventional household appliance, a controller for a user to operate is usually in a hidden dormant state, and is activated when the user acts on the household appliance, for example, a door is opened, and the controller is activated. In the invention, the projection controller can be in a closed state when not in use, thereby being more energy-saving and safer.
Optionally, the projection controller forms the virtual control interface by laser projection, holographic projection, or other virtual projection techniques.

Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a household appliance, which takes a refrigeration appliance (such as a refrigerator) having a storage chamber as an example, and is shown in fig. 1-2 in combination with fig. 3, and includes a central control system 10 (not shown in fig. 1-2, but see fig. 3), and a projection controller 20 communicatively connected to the central control system 10. The projection controller 20 is used for forming a virtual control interface 21 on the projection medium through projection for operation by a user. The projection controller 20 can sense the operation of the user on the virtual control interface 21, generate an operation signal, and transmit the operation signal to the central control system 10, and the central control system 10 performs a corresponding control action on the refrigeration appliance according to the operation signal.
The refrigeration appliance includes a cabinet 11 and a door 12, a projection controller 20 is provided on the door 12, and the projection controller 20 is retractable or tiltable with respect to the door 12. When it is desired to use, the projection controller 20 is hidden and in a closed or sleep state, where the door 12 is flat in appearance with no protrusions at the location of the projection controller 20, as shown in fig. 1. When needed for use, as shown in fig. 2, the projection controller 20 extends out of the surface of the door 12 and initiates and forms a virtual control interface 21 on the projection medium.
Wherein the projection medium may be a solid surface or air (the carrier of which may be, for example, solid particles or water vapor in air), the user may select and adjust the projection controller 20 to project the virtual control interface 21 to any desired position. The solid surface includes a surface of a refrigeration appliance (e.g., a cabinet surface or a door surface) and a wall surface. Referring to fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the projection controller 20 takes the surface of the door 12 as a projection medium, projects the projection medium on the surface of the door 12, and forms a virtual control interface 21, so that a user can directly operate on the surface of the door 12.
In this embodiment, the projection controller 20 forms the virtual control interface 21 by laser projection. In other embodiments, the projection controller 20 may also form the virtual control interface 21 by holographic projection or other virtual projection techniques. The virtual control interface 21 may be formed as a planar two-dimensional image or a stereoscopic three-dimensional image.
Further, as shown in fig. 3, the refrigeration appliance of the present embodiment further includes a distance sensor 30 for sensing the position of the user. The distance sensor 30 is in communication with the central control system 10 and may be set to a normally open state by a user.
When the user enters the sensing area of the distance sensor 30, the distance sensor 30 may send a sensing signal to the central control system 10, and the central control system 10 may control the projection controller 20 to turn on according to the sensing signal.
When the user leaves the sensing area of the distance sensor 30, the central control system 10 controls the projection controller 20 to enter the sleep mode. When the distance sensor 30 does not sense that the user enters the sensing area, the projection controller 20 does not detect the use requirement, and is not turned on. That is, the projection controller 20 may be automatically hidden from sleep when not needed for use.
As shown in fig. 4, the operation principle of the projection controller in this embodiment is as follows:
in an unused state, the projection controller 20 is hidden in the door 12, the distance sensor 30 is normally open, and the position of a user is detected;
if the user enters the sensing area, a first signal is sent to the central controller 10, the central control unit 10 sends an opening instruction to the projection controller 20 according to the first signal, and the projection controller 20 is opened;
in the process of starting the projection controller 20, the central controller 10 monitors the starting position of the projection controller 20, and after the projection controller 20 is started in place, the central controller 10 controls the projection controller 20 to start a projection function and form a virtual control interface 21 by projection on the surface of the door 12;
after the projection is finished, the user operates the virtual control interface 21 and finishes the operation action;
meanwhile, the distance sensor 30 continues to detect the position of the user, and when the user is detected to leave the sensing area, a second signal is sent to the central control unit 10, and the central control unit 10 sends a closing instruction to the projection controller 20 according to the second signal;
the projection controller 20 receives the closing instruction to close the projection function, the virtual control interface is closed, and meanwhile, the projection controller 20 retracts and returns to the original position to be hidden in the door 12 again.
In other embodiments, it may be set that when the user leaves the sensing area of the distance sensor 30, the central control system 10 controls the projection controller 20 to turn off, so that the refrigeration appliance is more energy-saving. In addition, the distance sensor 30 may not be provided in the refrigeration appliance, or the distance sensor 30 may be manually turned off by a user, in this case, a manual turn-on device may be added to the refrigeration appliance, and the user may manually turn on the projection controller 20 through the manual turn-on device to turn on the virtual control interface.
Although the present invention is disclosed above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes and modifications may be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
