- The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a structure for mounting a computer and a monitor, an output device thereof, on a refrigerator.
- 2. Background of the Related Art
- As well known, as an appliance for fresh storage of food and cooking materials by producing cooled air therein, the refrigerator is developed to have a variety of functions for satisfying demands of the consumers, recently. Particularly, it is recent trend that home appliances are required to present information on states of the home appliances themselves, or a variety of information provided from the internet, to users, keeping pace with popularization of the internet. Other than the above information presentation, the home appliances are required to present information to the users required for controlling operation and the like of the home appliances from outside of the house. Accordingly, to meet such requirements, there are the home appliances, particularly the refrigerators, each having a computer with the foregoing functions provided thereto, developed recently. The refrigerator having the computer can present not only information on a state of the refrigerator itself, but also cooking information from the internet and a data base, and even information on data of cooking material stored in the refrigerator. FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a related art refrigerator having a computer with the above functions, provided with a control part4 in a rear wall of the a
cabinet 11 of therefrigerator 1, inclusive of a controller (hereafter called as “information processor”) acting as a computer body and an operation controller for controlling operation of the refrigerator, and amonitor 2 having a camera 3 at a central portion of adoor 12 in a front portion of the refrigerator, for receiving a picture signal from the control part 4 and presenting desired information to the user. As themonitor 2, a thin LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is the most suitable, considering a thickness of thedoor 12, rather than other displays, such as Braun tube. However, the related art refrigerator having the computer mounted thereon has the following problems. - First, a
driving circuit 22 with a thickness fitted to a rear surface of theLCD 21 mounted in thedoor 12 can not but trespass into a food space on an inner side of thedoor 12 to some extent, which results in a smaller the food and poor appearance. - Second, cables (not shown) for connecting the
LCD 21 to the information processor in the control part 4 for reception of the picture signal are complicate as the cables are required to run from back to front of the refrigerator. - Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a structure for mounting a monitor on a refrigerator that substantially obviates one or more of the problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a structure for mounting a monitor on a refrigerator, which permits no trespass into a food space at all and an easy mounting on the door.
- Additional features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be apparent from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objectives and other advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by the structure particularly pointed out in the written description and claims hereof as well as the appended drawings.
- To achieve these and other advantages and in accordance with the purpose of the present invention, as embodied and broadly described, the structure for mounting a monitor on a refrigerator including the monitor mounted on a front face of the refrigerator for presenting a picture, and a controlling part mounted on a top of the refrigerator for providing a picture signal to the monitor for presenting a state of the refrigerator and internet information, wherein cables connecting the displaying part and the driving circuit are resistant to noise.
- It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed.
- The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the invention and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and together with the description serve to explain the principles of the invention:
- In the drawings:
- FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a disassembled view of a related art computer mounting type refrigerator with a monitor mounted thereto;
- FIG. 2 schematically illustrates a disassembled view of a computer mounting type refrigerator with a monitor mounted thereto in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention; and,
- FIG. 3 illustrates a system of a control part in the refrigerator.
- Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 2 schematically illustrates a disassembled view of a computer mounting type refrigerator with a monitor mounted thereto in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- Referring to FIG. 2, there is a monitor, for example, a displaying
part 210 of an LCD, having acamera 300 at a central portion in arefrigerator door 12, and a controllingpart 400 on a top of arefrigerator cabinet 11. And, there issteel plate 500 of a thickness, preferably approx. 1 mm thick, under the controllingpart 400, i.e., between the top of thecabinet 11 and a bottom of the controllingpart 400, for preventing damage to an outer skin of thecabinet 11 of thin plate if various controllers in the controlling part is fitted to the top of thecabinet 11 directly, or for firm fitting of the various controllers. In the refrigerator of the present invention, it is preferable that the monitor mounted to the refrigerator has the displayingpart 210 for presenting a picture and the driving circuit (see FIG. 1) for providing the picture signal to the displayingpart 210 separated from each other. In this instance, as described, the displayingpart 210 is mounted in thedoor 12, the driving circuit in the controllingpart 400, and the displayingpart 210 and the driving part are connected with cable which is resistant to noise. Though different types of display may be used as the monitor, an LCD is preferable, and, the LCD with a touch panel is the most preferably, which is operable by touching on a screen thereof directly, without using a keypad or the like. - In the meantime, referring to FIG. 3, the controlling
part 400 includes aninformation processor 410 for serving as a computer, adriving circuit 220 connected to theinformation processor 410 for transmitting a signal receiving from the information processor to the displaying part 210 (see FIG. 2) as a picture signal, amodem 420 connected to theinformation process 410 for making a distant communication, and aTV tuner 415. The controllingpart 400 may includes anoperation controller 430 for controlling operation of the refrigerator, such as operation of a refrigerating cycle of the refrigerator. And, there are aspeaker 440 and anamplifier PCB 445 in front of the controllingpart 400, and apower source 450 in rear of the controllingpart 400 for supplying power to the above controlling devices. The cables for transmitting the picture signal from thedriving circuit 220 to the displaying part 210 (see FIG. 2) are verythin lines 221 of LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) or TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signaling), which are resistant to noise, lead to the displayingpart 210 in thedoor 12 through ahole 13 a in thehinge bracket 13. As thecables 221, connecting the displayingpart 210 of the monitor and thedriving circuit 220, are lead through thehinge bracket 13 in thedoor 12, the cables affect no opening/closing of the door, while permitting mounting of the displayingpart 210 and thedriving circuit 220, separately. Therefore, when theinformation processor 410 in the controllingpart 400 processes data on a state of the refrigerator and data received through the internet, and the like, and transmits to thedriving circuit part 220 as a picture signal, thedriving circuit 220 processes the picture signal as a picture signal suitable for displaying and transmits to the displayingpart 210 through the cables, and the displayingpart 210 presents the picture signal to the user as a picture. - As has been explained, the structure for mounting a monitor on a refrigerator of the present invention has the following advantages.
- The mounting of various controllers on top of the refrigerator for presenting various picture signals to the monitor and controlling operation of the refrigerator permits an easy utilization of a space of the refrigerator itself.
- The mounting of only the displaying part in the door separate from the driving part permits the displaying part mounted in the door without trespassing the food space, at all.
- It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the structure for mounting a monitor on a refrigerator of the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, it is intended that the present invention cover the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
