Example 2

Embodiment 2 is another embodiment of the refrigerator provided by the present invention, which is substantially the same as embodiment 1, except that: in the embodiment, in order to further improve the operation safety and avoid the problem that the bag is slowly vacuumized or cannot be vacuumized due to the fact that the bag is vacuumized and packaged after being not inserted in place, the vacuum packaging device is further provided with a in-place detection device 380 for detecting whether the bag is inserted into the vacuumized area 301 or not and further sending a signal indicating whether the bag is in place to the controller, and the controller can control an indicating device on the operation panel 270 to send an indicating signal according to a detection signal of the in-place detection device 380 so that a user can know that the bag is inserted in place at the moment; specifically, the user may be prompted by blinking or turning off the indicator light to indicate that the storage bag is in place. At this time, the user can start the vacuum-pumping encapsulation button on the operation panel to perform the vacuum-pumping encapsulation processing.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 24 and 25, the in-place detection device 380 is disposed on the upper support 320 and/or the lower support 310, and more specifically, a plugging hole 325 is formed on the upper support 320 and/or the lower support 310, and a detection end of the in-place detection device 380 is plugged into the plugging hole 325.

The position of the detection end of the in-place detection device 380 is not unique; in one embodiment, the detection end of the in-place detection device 380 is located at the evacuated region; that is, the lower support 310 is formed with an insertion hole 325 on the first open cavity 311 and/or the upper support 320 is formed on the second open cavity 321, and the detection end of the in-place detection device 380 is inserted into the insertion hole 325, but due to the high requirement of the sealing performance of the vacuuming area, a sealing structure, such as a sealing ring, needs to be arranged between the detection end of the in-place detection device 380 and the insertion hole 325 to ensure the sealing connection thereof.

Preferably, in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 25, the detection end of the in-place detection device 380 is located at a position between the vacuuming region 301 and the packaging region 302; more specifically, it is located between the sealing ring 350 and the encapsulated area 302, and since the in-place detecting device 380 is located outside the sealing ring 350, it does not affect the sealing performance of the vacuuming area 301.

Because the limit rib 322 is arranged in the vacuumized area, when a user inserts the storage bag, the storage bag enters, firstly passes through the in-place detection device 380, and then is inserted inwards to the limit rib 322, so that the storage bag cannot be inserted inwards continuously; the controller starts the indicating device after the in-place detecting device 380 sends out the in-place detecting signal for a preset time (for example, 2 s), so that the user can know that the storage bag is inserted in place, and can start subsequent procedures (for example, procedures of vacuum packaging, independent sealing, manual vacuum pumping and the like).

Specifically, in one embodiment, the in-place detection device 380 is a photoelectric sensor, and a transmitting end and a receiving end of the photoelectric sensor are respectively disposed on the upper support 320 and the lower support 310.

Since the two detection end positions of the photoelectric sensor are required to be opposite to each other for detection, which is not suitable for a compact installation space, in another embodiment, as shown in fig. 25, the in-place detection device 380 is a microwave sensor or an infrared sensor, and the infrared sensor or the microwave sensor is installed on one of the upper support 320 and the lower support 310. Since the lower holder 310 is detachably coupled to the door body 200, the in-position detecting device 380 is mounted on the upper holder 320.

More specifically, as shown in fig. 26, an installation bayonet 326 is disposed on an upper side of the upper support 320, the in-place detection device 380 is clamped on the installation bayonet 326, and a detection end of the in-place detection device is inserted into the insertion hole 325.

It should be understood that the above examples are only for clarity of illustration and are not intended to limit the embodiments. Other variations and modifications will be apparent to persons skilled in the art in light of the above description. And are neither required nor exhaustive of all embodiments. And obvious variations or modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
