Temperature control method, device and system for items in self-help equipment

Abstract

The invention provides a temperature control method, device and system for items in self-help equipment. According to an embodiment, the method includes detecting the state of each of at least two sealed boxes to determine the box provided with items, receiving temperature parameters, which are sent by the self-help equipment and which are detected by temperature sensors arranged inside boxes provided with items, of the items placed in each box, generating temperature controlling operation signals of each box provided with the items according to a temperature threshold and the temperature parameters of the items placed in the box, sending the temperature controlling operation signals to the self-help equipment to allow a temperature control device arranged inside each box provided with the items to start or close a temperature control function according to the temperature controlling operation signals. The boxes provided with the items are controlled to be in the temperature controlling state selectively, namely starting or closing the temperature control function, the problem that the self-help equipment is in the temperature state constantly since the self-help equipment controls the temperature of items to be stored constantly in the prior art can be avoided, and energy is saved effectively.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to temperature control technology, in particular to a temperature control method, equipment and system for items in self-service equipment. 【Background technique】 [0002] With the advancement of technology, more and more self-service devices have entered our lives. For example, a self-service vending machine is a new type of self-service equipment, which is used to store items to be sold, and provide the stored items to consumers according to the needs of consumers. Since many items have certain temperature requirements, such as food and beverage items, how to store these items is an important issue that self-service equipment needs to pay attention to. In the prior art, some self-service equipment has a temperature control function, such as a refrigeration function, and can control the temperature of stored items, such as cold drinks. [0003] However, since the self-service equipment always needs to control the temperature ...
