Referring to fig. 1, for the manner in which the present disclosure uses a carrying mechanism to achieve access to and from an item, in order to facilitate a user to determine access to a specific item within a refrigerator, in some embodiments, a portion or all of the side wall 14 of the housing 10 includes a laminated glass structure with controllable transparency. So that the user can visually see the inside of the refrigerator to determine the articles he wishes to take out. In addition, through the sandwich glass structure with controllable transparency, the sandwich glass structure can be made opaque when a refrigerator is not used, so that the failure of articles due to illumination is avoided.

Referring to fig. 5, the laminated glass structure includes: a first glass layer 141, a second glass layer 147 and a Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) dimming film 145. The first glass layer 141 and the second glass layer 147 are stacked in the direction from the inside to the outside of the case 10. The polymer dispersed liquid crystal dimming film 145 is located between the first glass layer 141 and the second glass layer 147 and is configured to switch between a transparent state and a non-transparent state under the action of an electric field. The first and second glass layers included in the laminated glass structure can protect the PDLC dimming film 145 and other components located between the glasses, such as conductor layers, inductors, electrodes, etc.

When the user wishes to take out the articles in the refrigerator, an instruction may be given to the refrigerator to switch the polymer dispersed liquid crystal dimming film 145 to a transparent state. After the article is taken and placed, the polymer dispersed liquid crystal dimming film 145 can be restored to a non-transparent state. When the sandwich glass structure is electrified, liquid crystal molecules in the dimming film are arranged in order, so that light can freely penetrate through the glass, and the dimming glass is in a transparent state instantly. When the power is off, the liquid crystal molecules are in an irregular scattered state, the liquid crystal molecules block the sight like fog, and the glass is transparent and opaque. This configuration makes control easier. In addition, the structure also improves the aesthetic degree of the refrigerator.

Referring to fig. 5, in some embodiments, the laminated glass structure further includes a touch panel layer 143. The touch panel layer 143 is located between the first glass layer 141 and the second glass layer 147, and is configured to detect a touch signal applied to the side wall 14 of the housing 10. Different touch areas of the side walls 14 correspond to different storage areas of the storage rack 20. The touch panel layer 143 can be used for the user to select the removal of a specific article in the refrigerator, and can also be used for other operations of the refrigerator, such as switching the polymer dispersed liquid crystal dimming film 145 between a transparent state and a non-transparent state, or for closing the opening 12, and the like.

In some embodiments, the Touch panel layer may be a Capacitive Touch panel, i.e., a Surface Capacitive Touch panel (SCT). The four sides of the conductor of the touch panel are plated with long and narrow electrodes so as to form a low-voltage alternating current electric field in the conductor. When a user touches the screen, an electric field is formed by a human body, a coupling capacitor is formed between a finger and a conductor layer, currents emitted by electrodes positioned on four sides flow to the contact, the intensity of the currents is in direct proportion to the distance from the finger to the electrodes, a controller positioned behind the touch screen calculates the proportion and intensity of the currents, and the position of a touch point is accurately calculated. Since the touch area corresponds to the storage area of the storage rack 20, it is possible for the user to directly designate the operation of taking out the articles inside the refrigerator by touching the side wall of the refrigerator with a finger.

The laminated glass structure may further include other structures, such as resin layers respectively located between adjacent layers of the first glass layer, the PDLC light modulation film, the touch panel layer, and the second glass layer in fig. 5.

In the above embodiment, the refrigerator may further include a processor in signal connection with each motor, the PDLC dimming film, the touch panel layer, and the sensor and the refrigeration system inside the refrigerator. The processor may be a programmable logic controller, a microprocessor, a gate, or the like.
