図１は、本発明の実施の形態１における冷蔵庫の制御装置のブロック図であり、冷蔵庫の構成と動作を示すものである。
(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the refrigerator control device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and shows the configuration and operation of the refrigerator.
図１において、冷蔵庫２は、冷凍室１と引き出し式の貯蔵容器６と、冷凍室１を開閉する冷凍室ドア３と、冷凍室ドア３の開閉を検知するドア開閉検知手段７と、冷凍室ドア３の上部に位置する貯蔵室ドア５と、貯蔵室ドア５の下部に設置されたＬＥＤ庫内灯４と、ドア開閉検知手段７からの検知信号の入力によりＬＥＤ庫内灯４の点灯を制御する庫内灯通電制御手段８とを備え、庫内灯通電制御手段８は、ＬＥＤ点灯に必要な電力を無線で送信する無線送電手段９と無線で送信された電力を受信しＬＥＤに通電する電流に変換する無線受電手段１０とで構成されるものである。 In FIG. 1, a refrigerator 2 includes a freezer compartment 1, a drawer-type storage container 6, a freezer compartment door 3 that opens and closes the freezer compartment 1, door open / close detection means 7 that detects opening and closing of the freezer compartment door 3, and a freezer compartment. The storage room door 5 located above the door 3, the LED interior light 4 installed at the lower part of the storage room door 5, and the input of the detection signal from the door open / close detection means 7 turn on the LED interior light 4. The interior lamp energization control means 8 controls the interior lamp energization control means 8. The interior lamp energization control means 8 receives the power transmitted wirelessly and the wireless power transmission means 9 that wirelessly transmits the power necessary for LED lighting and energizes the LEDs. And a wireless power receiving means 10 for converting the current into a current.
以上のように構成された冷蔵庫２について、以下その動作、作用を説明する。 About the refrigerator 2 comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below.
まず、冷蔵庫２の電源投入後、冷凍室１は冷却開始により庫内温度が低下し食品を保存する。冷蔵庫２の使用者が食品を取り出す場合において、冷凍室ドア３を開け、冷凍室１の貯蔵容器６を引き出す。このときドア検知手段７は冷凍室ドア３の開を検知し、検知信号「開」を庫内灯通電制御手段８に入力する。庫内灯通電制御手段８は検知信号「開」の入力によりＬＥＤ庫内灯４へ通電を出力し、ＬＥＤ庫内灯４は点灯することとなる。 First, after the refrigerator 2 is powered on, the freezer compartment 1 stores food as the internal temperature decreases due to the start of cooling. When the user of the refrigerator 2 takes out the food, the freezer compartment door 3 is opened and the storage container 6 of the freezer compartment 1 is pulled out. At this time, the door detection means 7 detects the opening of the freezer compartment door 3 and inputs a detection signal “open” to the interior lamp energization control means 8. The interior lamp energization control means 8 outputs the energization to the LED interior lamp 4 by the input of the detection signal “open”, and the LED interior lamp 4 is turned on.
このとき、ＬＥＤ庫内灯４は、冷凍室ドア３の上部に位置する貯蔵室ドア５の下部に設置されていることから、貯蔵容器６が引き出されると共に食品が使用者に見える位置に出てくるときの食品の真上にＬＥＤ庫内灯４が位置することとなり、食品を的確に照明することができる。また貯蔵室外部に配置されるので、霜の付着など無く、暗くならない庫内灯を提供するものである。 At this time, since the LED interior light 4 is installed in the lower part of the storage room door 5 located in the upper part of the freezer compartment door 3, the storage container 6 is pulled out and the food is visible to the user. The LED interior light 4 is located immediately above the food when it comes, so that the food can be accurately illuminated. Moreover, since it is arrange | positioned outside a storage room, there is no adhesion of frost and the interior lamp which does not become dark is provided.
また、ＬＥＤ庫内灯４は、庫内通電制御手段８の無線受電手段１０とともに貯氷室ドア５の下部に配置され、無線送電手段９から無線にてＬＥＤ通電を制御できるので、貯氷室ドア５の開閉機構に制約されることなく、貯氷室ドア５の任意の位置に配置することができる。 Further, the LED interior light 4 is arranged at the lower part of the ice storage door 5 together with the wireless power receiving means 10 of the interior energization control means 8, and the LED energization can be controlled wirelessly from the wireless power transmission means 9. The ice storage room door 5 can be disposed at any position without being restricted by the opening / closing mechanism.
以上のように、本実施の形態においては冷凍室のドアの開閉に応じて貯蔵容器の食品に使用者の視線に対して適切に照明を行うことができ、霜の付着のない明るい庫内灯を提供する。 As described above, in this embodiment, a bright interior lamp that can appropriately illuminate the food of the storage container with respect to the user's line of sight according to the opening and closing of the door of the freezer, and has no frost adhesion I will provide a.
本実施の形態では、冷凍庫の庫内灯の点灯、消灯についての制御を説明したが、冷凍室に限らず、引き出し式のドアを有する貯蔵室すべてに応用できるものである。 In the present embodiment, the control for turning on / off the interior lamp of the freezer has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the freezer compartment, but can be applied to all storage rooms having a drawer-type door.
以上のように、本発明にかかる冷蔵庫は、貯蔵室外の上部に庫内灯を設けることで、引き出し式の貯蔵室内に使用者の視線にて食品の適切な位置に照明を行うことが可能となるので、家庭用又は業務用冷蔵庫に適用でき、さらに、引き出し式扉のある物品貯蔵装置などＬＥＤ照明を適用する幅広い設備機器にも応用できるものである。 As described above, the refrigerator according to the present invention is capable of illuminating an appropriate position of the food from the user's line of sight in the pull-out type storage room by providing the interior lamp in the upper part outside the storage room. Therefore, it can be applied to a refrigerator for home use or business use, and can also be applied to a wide range of equipment to which LED lighting is applied, such as an article storage device having a drawer type door.
