Food management system and food management method for refrigerator

Abstract

The invention discloses a food management system and a food management method for a refrigerator. The system comprises an MCU (microprogrammed control unit), a display device, a storage device, a timing device, an input device and an alarm device, wherein the display device, the storage device, the timing device, the input device and the alarm device are connected with the MCU; the input device is provided with induction keys; the display device is an LCD (liquid crystal display); the timing device is used for counting down storage lives of stored foods; the storage device is used for storing the preset storage lives of the foods, information of a storage position and food information set by a user; and the alarm device generates relevant alarm prompt according to comparison of preset parameters by the aid of the MCU. By the aid of the food management system and the food management method, the storage lives of the foods and the storage position can be displayed, the lengths of the storage lives of different foods can be clearly differentiated via colors on an interface displaying the storage lives of the foods, the food management system is simple and convenient to operate, and the food management system and the food management method can be widely popularized and applied.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a food management system for a refrigerator and a food management method. Background technique: [0002] With the increasing development of modern society, people’s pace of life is accelerating, making people have higher and higher requirements for the functions of existing refrigerators. The existing refrigerators can only store food and cannot allow users to effectively manage the refrigerator. It is usually impossible to know the specific information such as the shelf life of the food stored in the refrigerator, and often do not know what to do with the food that has been frozen for an unknown period of time. At the same time, the constant opening and closing of the refrigerator door also increases the power consumption of the refrigerator. [0003] At present, with the continuous advancement of technology, a variety of food management methods appear on the market, but they cannot display the storage location of the food in the re...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] With the development of modern society, people's pace of life is constantly accelerating, which makes people have higher and higher requirements on the functions of existing refrigerators. The existing refrigerators can only store food, but cannot allow users to effectively manage refrigerators. Usually you can't know the specific information such as the shelf life of the food stored in the refrigerator, and often don't know what to do with the food that has been frozen for an unknown period of time. At the same time, the constant opening and closing of the refrigerator door also increases the power consumption of the refrigerator.

[0003] At present, with the continuous advancement of science and technology, there are many methods of food management on the market, but they cannot display the storage location of the food in the refrigerator. At the same time, the freshness period of the food needs to be set by the user. Most users cannot determine the freshness period of the food, and The display interface cannot intuitively distinguish the food by the length of the food preservation period
