Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic view of a refrigerator 1 according to an embodiment of the present utility model. The present utility model provides a refrigerator 1, the refrigerator 1 generally comprising a cabinet 10 and a door 20.

The case 10 may include a housing located at the outermost side of the overall refrigerator 1 to protect the overall refrigerator 1, and a plurality of inner containers. The plurality of inner containers are wrapped by the shell, and heat insulation materials (forming a heat insulation layer) are filled in the space between the plurality of inner containers and the shell so as to reduce the outward heat dissipation of the inner containers.

The door 20 is movably disposed in front of the case 10, for example, the door 20 may be hinged to one side of the front of the case 10, and the first storage compartment may be opened and closed by rotation.

Referring to fig. 1, in some embodiments, at least one of the plurality of door bodies 20 may also be configured as a mid-door 200. In some embodiments, the door body 20 may be used to open and close a refrigerator compartment.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, fig. 2 is a schematic view of a door-in-door 200 in a refrigerator 1 according to an embodiment of the present utility model, fig. 3 is a sectional view of the door-in-door 200 in the refrigerator 1 according to an embodiment of the present utility model, and fig. 4 is an enlarged view of a portion a of fig. 3.

In particular, the in-door 200 may further include a main door 210 and a sub-door 220. The main door 210 is provided at the front side of the cabinet 10 to open and close the first storage compartment. The main door 210 defines a second storage compartment 212 opened forward, and the sub-door 220 is pivoted to the front of the main door 210 to open and close the second storage compartment 212.

In some embodiments, the sub-door 220 also has a light-transmissive region 222a thereon. Specifically, the front panel of the sub-door 220 may be made of a glass panel 222, and the user may directly observe the storage condition in the second storage compartment 212 through the glass panel 222. The light-transmitting region 222a may be a specific region of the glass panel 222.

The refrigerator 1 may further include a projection device 30, where the projection device 30 is disposed in the second storage compartment 212, and the projection lens of the projection device faces the sub-door 220 and is configured to be controlled to be activated to project the interactive interface to the light-transmitting area 222a. The interactive interface may be an animation, a pattern, etc. for displaying the state of the refrigerator 1, the control interface of the refrigerator 1, and parameters of the refrigerator 1, and the user may directly observe the interactive interface through the light-transmitting area 222a, so as to implement interaction.

In this embodiment, since the projection device 30 is disposed in the second storage compartment 212, i.e. in the main door 210, when the main control panel of the refrigerator 1 is connected with the projection device 30, the cable can be connected with the projection device 30 only by penetrating the cable from the case 10 to the main door 210, and the cable does not need to be continuously penetrated to the auxiliary door 220, so that the cable path can be shortened, the cable penetration difficulty can be reduced, the installation procedure can be simplified, and the production efficiency can be improved.

Referring to fig. 5, in some embodiments, the refrigerator 1 may further include a detection device 40 and a control device 50. Detection device 40 is capable of detecting the operational state of sub-door 220. The control device 50 is connected to the projection device 30, and the control device 50 is also connected to the detection device 40 to control the start and stop of the projection device 30 according to the operation state detected by the detection device 40.

Detection device 40 may detect the motion state of sub-door 220, from which the user's need to interact with refrigerator 1 is determined. When the requirement is detected, the control device 50 may control the projection device 30 to be turned on to project the interactive interface to the light-transmitting area 222a on the sub-door 220, and when the requirement is eliminated, the control device 50 may control the projection device 30 to be turned off to stop the light-transmitting area 222a from projecting the interactive interface.

Further, the detecting device 40 may include any one or two of the following detecting components: a shock detecting part 410 and a human sense detecting part 420.

Specifically, the shock detecting part 410 is mounted on the sub-door 220, and configured to detect a knocking shock of the sub-door 220. Control device 50 is coupled to shock detection assembly 410 and is configured to control actuation of projection device 30 when shock detection assembly 410 indicates that secondary door 220 is knocked. For example, when the vibration detecting unit 410 detects that the user performs a predetermined knocking operation on the sub-door 220, it may be considered that there is a need for the user to interact with the refrigerator 1 at this time, the vibration detecting unit 410 outputs a knocking trigger signal to the control device 50, and the control device 50 controls the projection device 30 to be turned on according to the knocking trigger signal.

Further, the predetermined tapping action may be configured according to the actual situation. In some embodiments, to avoid improper opening of projection device 30 due to a false touch, the predetermined tapping action may be configured to tap sub-door 220 twice in succession. Of course, those skilled in the art may configure other predetermined tapping actions according to actual situations, and will not be described herein.

The human sense detecting part 420 is installed on the sub-door 220 and configured to detect a human body in front of the refrigerator 1. The control device is connected to the human sense detection part 420 and configured to control the projection device 30 to be activated when the human sense detection part 420 indicates the presence of a human body in front of the refrigerator 1. The human sense detecting part 420 may use an infrared human body sensor, a radar type human body sensor, an image recognition type human body sensor, etc., which can detect a human body, a human body motion state (e.g., a gesture, a posture, a moving direction, etc.) of a set area in front of the refrigerator 1.

For example, in some specific embodiments, when the human detection part 420 detects that the human body in the set area in front of the refrigerator 1 is closer to the refrigerator 1, it may be considered that there is a need for the user to interact with the refrigerator 1, and the human detection part 420 outputs a human sense trigger signal to the control device 50, and the control device 50 controls the projection device 30 to be turned on according to the human sense trigger signal.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in some embodiments, the refrigerator 1 may further include a storage bottle seat 60, where the storage bottle seat 60 is disposed in the second storage compartment 212. The projection device 30 is embedded in the base 62 of the storage bottle base 60, and the projection lens of the projection device exposes the front panel of the base 62.

The number of storage receptacles 60 may be one or more. When the number of the storage bottle seats 60 is plural, the storage bottle seats 60 may be sequentially disposed along the height direction of the second storage compartment 212, so as to fully utilize the height of the second storage compartment 212 and improve the space utilization.

In selecting the storage bottle holder 60 to mount the projection device 30, the height of the storage bottle holder 60 needs to be considered so that the user can operate the interactive interface transmitted by the projection device 30.

Since the front panel of the base 62 faces the inner side of the sub-door 220 in the closed state of the sub-door 220 and is closer to the sub-door 220, and the probability of shielding between the front panel of the base 62 and the sub-door 220 is smaller, the installation manner can ensure that the projection device 30 can stably project the interactive interface, and the reliability is high.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, in some embodiments, the refrigerator 1 may further include a touch membrane 70, where the touch membrane 70 covers the outside of the light-transmitting area 222a and is configured to receive an operation instruction of the user on the interactive interface. The touch control membrane 70 may also be connected to the control device 50, where the touch control membrane 70 can sense an operation instruction of a user on a specific area thereon, generate an operation signal, transmit the operation signal to the control device 50, and the control device 50 may switch the interactive interface according to the operation signal, so as to implement adjustment of the functions of the refrigerator 1.

In some embodiments, the refrigerator 1 may further include a light device 80. The light device 80 may include one or more light sources disposed in the second storage compartment 212. The control device 50 is connected to the lighting device 80 to control the on/off of the lighting device 80 according to the operation state.

In the present embodiment, when the detecting means 40 detects a user's need to interact with the refrigerator 1, the light means 80 is simultaneously activated with the projection means 30 to function as illumination and decoration of the second storage compartment 212.

Referring to fig. 5, further, the refrigerator 1 may further include a temperature detecting part 90 and a memory 100.

Specifically, the first correspondence between the temperature of the second storage compartment 212 and the brightness of the lighting device 80 may be stored in the memory 100 in advance. That is, the control device 50 can adjust the lighting device 80 to the corresponding brightness according to the current temperature of the second storage compartment 212, and the user can determine the current temperature of the second storage compartment 212 through the brightness change.

In some specific embodiments, the brightness of the lighting device 80 may be further characterized according to the input voltage, for example, when the temperature of the second storage compartment 212 is 9 degrees celsius, the voltage of the corresponding lighting device 80 is 9V, and the higher the temperature of the second storage compartment 212, the higher the voltage of the lighting device 80, i.e. the higher the brightness. Of course, the relationship between the temperature of the second storage compartment 212 and the brightness of the lighting device 80 may be configured by one skilled in the art.

The memory 100 may store a second correspondence between the temperature of the second storage compartment 212 and the color of the lighting device 80. That is, the control device 50 can adjust the lighting device 80 to the corresponding color according to the current temperature of the second storage compartment 212, and the user can determine the current temperature of the second storage compartment 212 through the color change.

In some specific embodiments, the brightness of the lighting device 80 may be further characterized according to the input power, for example, when the temperature of the second storage compartment 212 is 9 degrees celsius, the input power of the corresponding lighting device 80 is 15W, and the higher the temperature of the second storage compartment 212, the higher the voltage of the lighting device 80. In one embodiment, the second correspondence relation changes the color information of the corresponding preset lamp light from the warm color system to the cold color system for a plurality of temperature information from high temperature to low temperature.
