Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments shown in the drawings. These embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention, and structural, methodological, or functional changes made by those skilled in the art according to these embodiments are included in the scope of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2 is a schematic triangular view of a door opening angle in fig. 1.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a refrigerator 1 includes a cabinet 2, a door 3, and an angle detecting device 4.
The door 3 is pivotally connected to the cabinet 2 about a rotational axis L to open or close the refrigerator 1.
The angle detection device 4 is used for measuring the door opening angle α of the door 3, and includes a distance sensor 41 and a calculation unit 42. The calculating unit 42 is communicatively connected to the distance sensor 41, that is, the distance sensor 41 can transmit the measurement data to the calculating unit 42, and the calculating unit 42 receives the measurement data and calculates the door opening angle.
The distance sensor 41 is fixedly disposed on one of the box body 2 and the door body 3, and is capable of detecting a distance n between the door body 3 and the box body 2 during the door opening and closing process, and for convenience of description, the distance is defined as a second distance n.
A distance m between the distance sensor 41 and the rotation axis L is defined as a first distance m, the distance sensor 41 emits a measurement signal at a first angle β with respect to a plane of one of the door 3 and the cabinet 2, and a distance between the cabinet 2 and the door 3 is measured as a second distance n.
In a specific embodiment, the distance sensor 41 is disposed on an inner surface of the door 3 facing the cabinet 2, and the first distance m is set to be half of the width of the door 3, so that when the door 3 is opened to a maximum angle, a signal sent by the distance sensor 41 can reach the cabinet 2 and be reflected back to the distance sensor 41.
Preferably, the measuring signal emitted by the distance sensor 41 is β with the plane of the box or door body to which it is fixed, so that the first angle β does not change during the opening and closing of the door without adjusting the distance sensor 41.
Preferably, the distance sensor 41 is fixed to the door body, and the distance sensor 41 emits a signal perpendicular to the plane of the door body 3, that is, β is 90 °, in this case, α is arctan (n/m), and the calculation formula is simple.
The calculating unit 42 calculates the door opening angle according to the first distance m, the second distance n between the box body 2 and the door body 3 measured by the distance sensor 41, and the first angle β.
Normally, the first distance m and the first angle β are pre-stored in the calculating unit 42, and the distance sensor 41 measures and transmits the second distance n to the calculating unit 42.
As shown in fig. 2, the first distance m, the second distance n, the first angle β and the door opening angle α satisfy the following equations through the transformation calculation of the trigonometric function: m × sin α ═ n × sin (α + β). Since the first distance m, the first angle β and the second distance n (measured) are known quantities, the calculating unit 42 can calculate the door opening angle α according to the above equation.
In this way, the angle detection device 4 can calculate the door opening angle α of the door 3 after measurement only by providing the distance sensor 41 and the calculation unit 42, so that the refrigerator 1 can accurately obtain the actual door opening and closing angles thereof, and obtain the opening and closing state and the stop position of the door 3 in real time. The distance sensor 41 is mounted on the refrigerator 1, and has a simple structure, does not need a magnet or other auxiliary devices, has no movable mechanical structure, is not easy to damage in the using process, and is durable.
Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a door opening angle detecting method of the present invention, please refer to fig. 1 to 3 together, and the door opening angle detecting method for the refrigerator 1 includes the following steps: s1: acquiring a second distance n between the door body 3 and the box body 2 through a distance sensor 41; s2: and calculating the door opening angle of the refrigerator 1 according to the second distance n, the first distance m between the distance sensor and the rotation axis L and the first angle beta.
In step S1, the distance sensor 41 detects the distance between the door 3 and the cabinet 2 in real time, and transmits the data to the computing unit 42.
Preferably, the frequency of acquiring the second distance n by the distance sensor 41 when the door 3 is in the closed state is lower than the frequency of acquiring the second distance n when the door 3 is in the open state, so as to reduce energy consumption. Specifically, when the door 3 is in a closed state, the distance sensor 41 does not operate or operates at a lower frequency; when the door 3 is opened, the distance between the door 3 and the cabinet 2 is measured at a predetermined frequency to calculate the door opening angle.
In step S2, the door opening angle α of the door body is calculated by the calculating unit based on the formula m × sin α ═ n × sin (α + β), and the door opening angle α can be accurately calculated only by measuring the second distance n;
alternatively, in step S2, when β is 90 °, the calculating means calculates the door opening angle α of the door body based on the formula α arctan (n/m).
Further, based on any one of the above door opening angle detection methods, the method further comprises outputting a door closing state when the door opening angle is 0 °; and when the door opening angle is larger than 0 degree, outputting the numerical value of the door opening angle alpha. Specifically, the output can be made to the user through a display screen or a voice module, and the output can be made to components in the refrigerator 1 in an internal communication mode, which need to control working parameters according to the door opening angle α.
In summary, the door opening angle of the door 3 can be obtained through calculation only by measuring the second distance n by the distance sensor 41, so that the refrigerator 1 can accurately obtain the actual door opening and closing angles thereof, and obtain the opening and closing state and the stop position of the door 3 in real time. The distance sensor 41 is mounted on the refrigerator 2, and has a simple structure, does not need a magnet or other auxiliary devices, has no movable mechanical structure, is not easy to damage in the using process, and is durable.
