The embodiment of the application relates to a management clamp device, which can be installed in a refrigerator and is used for managing food materials in the refrigerator. As shown in fig. 1, the management clamp device 300 may be fixed to the door body 100 of the refrigerator, and vertically positioned between two adjacent bottle holders 200, for example, as a schematic view of the management clamp device installed in the refrigerator. The management clamp device 300 does not occupy space in the bottle holder 200 between two adjacent bottle holders 200.

As shown in fig. 2 and referring to fig. 3, the management clip device includes a base 1, a circuit board 2, and a plurality of management clips 3, the base 1 having a plurality of slots 111; the circuit board 2 is located in the base 1, each management clip 3 is removably located in the slot 111, and when the management clip 3 is located in the slot 111, there is a communication relationship between the management clip 3 and the circuit board 2.

As shown in fig. 2, the base 1 may include a socket 11 and a substrate 12, where the socket 11 has a plurality of sockets 111, the substrate 12 is L-shaped, one side plate of the L-shaped substrate 12 is fixed to the bottom of the socket 11, and the other side plate is fixed to the side of the socket 11, and the bottom of the socket 11 is where the bottom of the socket 111 is located.

Wherein the circuit board 2 is fixed in a space formed by the socket 11 and the substrate 12, for example, the circuit board 2 is fixed between a side of the socket 11 and a side plate of the L-shaped substrate 12.

Wherein the base plate 12 is used for being fixed on a door body of a refrigerator, for example, the base plate 12 is installed on the door body through the fixing plate 5, for example, as shown in fig. 3, the outer surface of the base plate 12 facing away from the slot seat 11 is provided with a hook 121, as shown in fig. 4, the inner surface of the fixing plate 5 facing the base plate 12 is provided with a hook groove 51, and then the base plate 12 can be hung on the fixing plate 5.

It should be noted that the fixing plate 5 may be a structural member belonging to the management clamp device or a structural member belonging to the refrigerator. For example, the fixing plate 5 belongs to a refrigerator and may be foamed together with a door body of the refrigerator.

In one example, as shown in fig. 2, the socket 11 includes a plurality of sockets 111, wherein the number of sockets 111 is related to the length (also the height) of the management clip device, for example, if the length of the management clip device is relatively long, the number of sockets 111 may be relatively large. And the length of the management clip device is related to the size of the installed refrigerator, for example, if the refrigerator is high, the door is high, and the distance between the adjacent two bottle holders 200 is large, the length of the management clip device may be long.

Wherein the number of the management clips 3 is equal to the number of the slots 111, and the management clips 3 can be inserted into any one slot 111 among the plurality of slots 111.

The management clip 3, that is, the clip, can clip on the food material, and the time for placing the food material into the refrigerator is calculated by the time for which the management clip 3 is separated from the slot 111.

In one example, when the management clip 3 is located in the slot 111, the management clip 3 has a communication relationship with the circuit board 2 so that the circuit board 2 can read the status of the management clip 3. The state of the management clip 3 may include that the management clip 3 is located in the slot 111, that the management clip 3 is detached from the slot 111, and the like.

In one example, the management clip device includes a network module, so that the circuit board 2 uploads the status information of the management clip 3 to the cloud server through the network module. The cloud server can calculate the time length that the management clamp 3 is separated from the slot 111, further obtain the time length that the food clamped by the management clamp is put into the refrigerator, and then calculate that the food will expire or the cloud server can send reminding information to the circuit board 2 according to the expiration date of the food set by the user, for example, when the controller on the circuit board 2 receives the reminding information, the cloud server can send the reminding information through an alarm or an indicator light of the management clamp device. Or, an application program for managing food materials can be installed on the mobile phone of the user, and the cloud server can push reminding information to the application program.

The length of time that the management clip 3 is disengaged from the slot 111 may also be calculated by a controller on the circuit board 2.

The user may also make a note of the food held by the management clip 3 on the application program, for example, the name, the shelf life, a few days reminder from the shelf life, notes, and the like of the held food may be recorded.

It should be noted that each management clip 3 has a unique identification code so that the circuit board 2 can record the status of each management clip 3.

Among them, there are various implementations in which the management clip 3 has a communication relationship with the circuit board 2 when the management clip 3 is located in the slot 111.

For example, one implementation may be to have a first communication component on the circuit board 2 and each management clip 3 having a second communication component, the first and second communication components communicating when the management clip 3 is positioned in the slot 111.

Wherein the first communication means and the second communication means may communicate by means of near field communication (Near Field Communication, NFC) technology.

In one example, the circuit board 2 may have a first communication means thereon, which is capable of communicating with a second communication means of each management clip 3.

In another example, as shown in fig. 2, the circuit board 2 has a plurality of first communication parts arranged in sequence, respectively opposite to the positions of one slot 111. Thus, when the management clip 3 is located in the slot 111, the second communication part of the management clip 3 is located opposite to the first communication part corresponding to the slot 111, and the distance between the first communication part and the second communication part is relatively short, so that data interaction can be performed.

In order to raise the sensing area between the first communication part and the second communication part, which are opposite to each other, correspondingly, the area of the first communication part and the second communication part facing each other can be increased, and the plane of the plurality of slots 111 is parallel to the plane of the circuit board 2, as shown in fig. 2. In this way, after the management clip 3 is inserted into the slot 111, the second communication component of the management clip 3 is parallel to the first communication component corresponding to the slot 111 where the management clip is located, that is, the first communication component and the second communication component with opposite positions are parallel, so that the area facing each other between the two components can be increased, the sensing area is further increased, and the NFC signal is enhanced.

In another example, the first communication means and the second communication means may also communicate via bluetooth or local area network technology.

In one example, the management clamp device may indicate status information of the food materials clamped by the respective management clamps 3 by an indication lamp. Accordingly, as shown in fig. 5, the management clip device further includes a display lamp assembly 4, and the display lamp assembly 4 is fixed to the socket 11 of the base 1 and electrically connected to the circuit board 2.

With continued reference to fig. 5, the display light assembly 4 may include a light panel 41 and a display panel 42. The lamp panel 41 is fixed on the inner surface of the socket 11, the display panel 42 is fixed on the outer surface of the socket 11, and the positions of the lamp panel 41 and the display panel 42 are opposite. The socket 11 has a light hole 114 at a position corresponding to each light bead of the light board 41, and the display panel 42 is fixed on the outer surface of the socket 11 and covers the light hole 114.

Wherein, the display lamp assembly 4 is electrically connected with the circuit board 2, that is, the lamp panel 41 of the display lamp assembly 4 is electrically connected with the circuit board 2.

Wherein, each bead on the lamp panel 41 may correspond to one management clip 3, for example, the identification codes of the bead and the management clip 3 may be the same, for example, a bead corresponding to a management clip 3, and so on. Thus, the user can know which management clip 3 is the reminding information according to the identification code of the lamp bead.

In one example, the identification codes of the light beads may be the ordering of the light beads on the light panel, for example, as shown in fig. 5, a plurality of light beads are sequentially arranged from top to bottom, the identification codes are sequentially increased, and the uppermost end is a light bead.

In another example, the display panel 42 has corresponding identification codes at each bead location, e.g., as shown in FIG. 5, the display panel 42 is marked with a "1" at a location corresponding to one bead, a "2" at a location corresponding to two beads, and so on.

In one example, the display panel 42 has light transmittance so as to make the light of the lamp beads pass through. In another example, the display panel 42 may have light transmittance at locations corresponding to the beads, while not having light transmittance at other locations. Thus, the light of each lamp bead can be highlighted.

In one example, the current state of the corresponding food material may be resolved by the color of each light bead by the user. For example, the lamp bead emits green light, which indicates that the food held by the management clip 3 corresponding to the lamp bead is far from the quality guarantee period. The lamp beads emit yellow light, which indicates that the food materials clamped by the management clamps 3 corresponding to the lamp beads are relatively short in shelf life. The lamp beads emit red light, which indicates that the food materials clamped by the management clamps 3 corresponding to the lamp beads are overdue.

The lamp beads emit green light and yellow light, which can be set by a user, or can be set when the management clamp device leaves a factory.

For example, the light bead emits green light more than three days from the shelf life, and the light bead emits yellow light within three days from the shelf life, including three days.

When the management clip 3 is positioned in the slot 111 and the food material is not clamped, the corresponding lamp beads are in an off state.

Thus, the user can distinguish the current state information of the food held by the management clip 3 corresponding to the lamp bead by displaying the light emitting color of the lamp bead of the lamp assembly 4.

It should be noted that, after the management clamp 3 is separated from the clamped food material and reinserted into the slot 111, the previous state information of the management clamp 3 may be cleared to be ready for the next use.

In one example, when the management clip 3 is located in the slot 111, a user opens or closes the refrigerator, and the door of the refrigerator is excessively forced, there is a possibility that the management clip 3 is detached from the slot 111.

To prevent the management clips 3 from being detached from the slots 111, for example, one implementation may be to have magnets at the bottom of each slot 111 and at the bottom of the management clip 3. Wherein the magnets of the slot 111 and the magnets of the management clip 3 are opposite in polarity. Thus, when the management clip 3 is positioned in the slot 111, the magnet of the management clip 3 and the magnet of the slot 111 are attracted, so that the management clip 3 can be firmly positioned in the slot 111.

As another example, the slot depth of each slot 111 may be more than twice the length of the management clip 3, so that the management clip 3 may be secured in the slot 111 due to the relatively deep slot 111.

In one example, the management clip 3, in use, will switch between the refrigerator interior and exterior environment. For example, in the case of holding food with the management clamp 3, the management clamp 3 may be taken out of the refrigerator, and the management clamp 3 may be placed in the refrigerator after holding the food. Alternatively, when the food is taken, the food holding the management clamp 3 is taken out of the refrigerator, and the management clamp 3 is inserted into the slot 111 after the management clamp 3 is removed. Then, the management clip 3 is switched in the environment outside the refrigerator and in the environment inside the refrigerator, and since there is a temperature difference between the inside and the outside of the refrigerator, moisture generated by the temperature difference exists in the slot 111 after the management clip 3 is inserted into the slot 111 positioned in the refrigerator.

In order to drain the moisture in the slots 111 to keep the slots 111 dry and clean, accordingly, as shown in fig. 6, the azimuth relationship between the slot and the slot bottom of each slot 111 is left and right, the height of the slot is higher than the height of the slot bottom, and as shown in fig. 7, there is a drain 112 at the lowest part of the slot bottom.

As shown in fig. 6, the height of the notch of each slot 111 is higher than the height of the bottom of the slot, so that an included angle α is formed between the slot 111 and the horizontal plane, and then water drops in the slot 111 are converged toward the lowest part of the bottom of the slot. As shown in fig. 7, the drain 112 is provided at the lowest position of the groove bottom of the insertion groove 111, and thus, the water droplets in the insertion groove 111 are discharged outward from the drain 112.

In one example, as shown in fig. 7, the outer surface of the bottom of each slot 111 has a deflector 113 at a position corresponding to the drain port 112.

Thus, the water brought into the slot 111 by the management clip 3 can be gathered at the lowest position of the slot bottom and discharged outwards through the water outlet 112, and the water drops are discharged outwards to the outside of the slot 111 under the guiding action of the guiding plate 113 in the process of discharging outwards.

In one example, the number of baffles 113 and the number of drain openings 112 may be equal, with each drain opening 112 corresponding to one baffle 113.

In another example, the number of baffles 113 may be less than the number of drain openings 112, e.g., as shown in fig. 8, baffles 113 may not be provided at the bottom-most drain opening 112.

In one example, in order to guide the water droplets in the slots 111 out of the management clip device, a total water outlet may be formed at the bottom of the management clip device, and the water droplets in the water outlet 112 of each slot 111 are collected at the total water outlet and flow out of the management clip device.

In another example, since the management clips 3 have less water brought into the slots 111, the water droplets flowing out of the water outlet 112 of each slot 111 can be air-dried by the cold air flow in the refrigerator, and then the bottom of the management clip device can be free from a total water outlet.

Based on the above, the application scenario of the management clip device may be that, before the user puts the food into the refrigerator, one management clip 3 may be taken out from the slot 111, the management clip 3 is clipped on the food, and then the food with the management clip 3 is put into the refrigerator. The user sets the management clip 3 in an application program installed on the mobile phone, for example, sets the shelf life of the food materials held by the management clip 3.

When the quality guarantee period of the food clamped by the management clamp 3 is about to be reached, the lamp beads corresponding to the management clamp 3 in the display lamp assembly 4 of the management clamp device emit yellow light to prompt a user that the food clamped by the management clamp 3 is about to expire.

When the food materials clamped by the management clamp 3 are out of date, the lamp beads corresponding to the management clamp 3 in the display lamp assembly 4 emit red light to prompt a user that the food materials clamped by the management clamp 3 are out of date.

After the user processes the food materials clamped by the management clamp 3, the management clamp 3 is reinserted into the slot 111, and at this time, the state of the management clamp 3 is automatically cleared, or the user manually clears on the mobile phone application program to prepare for the next use.

In this embodiment of the application, this management clamp device installs on the door body of refrigerator, and when the user need store edible material, takes out management clamp 3 from slot 11 to the centre gripping is on edible material, then puts into the refrigerator, and management clamp device can be through keeping away from the duration of slot 111 to management clamp 3, and the duration of putting into the refrigerator is eaten to the centre gripping edible material is calculated to realize the intelligent management of edible material in the refrigerator.

In addition, the bottom of each slot 111 of the management clamp device is provided with a water drain 112, so that water cannot accumulate in the slot 111 to keep the slot 111 dry and clean.

The embodiment of the application further provides a refrigerator, as shown in fig. 1, the refrigerator includes a door body 100, a plurality of bottle seats 200 and the management clamp device 300 described above, wherein the plurality of bottle seats 200 and the management clamp device 300 are both fixed on the inner surface of the door body 100, and the management clamp device 300 can be vertically located between two adjacent bottle seats 200.

The management clip device 300 is vertically located between two adjacent bottle holders 200, that is, the plurality of slots 111 of the management clip device 300 are located in the same vertical line.

The management clip device 300 is located between two adjacent bottle holders 200, and does not occupy the space of the bottle holders 200.

In one example, the management clip device 300 may be fixed to the inner surface of the door body 100 by the fixing plate 5, for example, the fixing plate 5 may be foamed together with the door body 100.

As shown in fig. 1, the management clip device is positioned close to the rotation axis of the door body 100, so that the management clip 3 inserted in the slot 111 is not easily thrown out of the slot 111 during the closing and opening of the door body 100, because the management clip device is positioned close to the rotation axis of the door body 100, making its linear velocity small.

In this application embodiment, this management clamp device of refrigerator, as described above, it installs on the door body of refrigerator, and when the user needs to store edible material, takes out management clamp from the slot to the centre gripping is on edible material, then puts into the refrigerator, and management clamp device can be through the length of time that breaks away from the slot to management clamp, calculates the length of time that the edible material of centre gripping put into the refrigerator to realize the intelligent management of edible material in the refrigerator.

In addition, the bottom of each slot 111 of the management clamp device is provided with a water drain 112, so that water cannot accumulate in the slot 111 to keep the slot 111 dry and clean.
