Problems solved by technology

[0003] Refrigerator is an indispensable electrical appliance in people's daily life. The refrigerator has a history of hundreds of years, but its basic function of preserving food has not changed.
The development of technology endows the refrigerator with more functions and better fresh-keeping effect, but after the food is put into the refrigerator, it only enters the fresh-keeping environment created by the refrigerator, and the management of food still needs to be completed by the user
Some foods, such as vegetables and fruits, can only be put into the refrigerator to prolong their fresh-keeping period but not for a long time. Many foods have deteriorated and cannot be eaten due to the long storage period, which brings great waste to people's lives.

Abstract

The invention provides a food monitoring system for an intelligent refrigerator and a monitoring method of the food monitoring system for the intelligent refrigerator. The food monitoring system comprises a central processing unit, an entering unit and a conveying unit, and further comprises a monitoring unit arranged in the refrigerator; the monitoring unit comprises a temperature and humidity sensor, an infrared sensor and an air detector, wherein the temperature and humidity sensor is used for collecting the temperature and the humidity in the refrigerator in real time, the infrared sensor is used for collecting infrared data of foods in the refrigerator in real time, and the air detector is used for collecting the content of special gas released by the foods in the refrigerator in real time. The invention further provides the monitoring method of the food monitoring system for the intelligent refrigerator. The monitoring unit is arranged, optimal control can be carried out on storage and management commands of the foods stored in the refrigerator and the refrigeration environment in the refrigerator in real time, accurate food fresh keeping information can be accordingly conveyed to a user, the user can timely conduct corresponding processing on the foods in the refrigerator in time, the fresh foods can be enjoyed to the maximum degree, and waste caused in the food storage process is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of smart refrigerator food monitoring, in particular to a food monitoring system and a monitoring method for smart refrigerators. [0002] Background technique [0003] Refrigerator is an indispensable electrical appliance in people's daily life. The refrigerator has a history of hundreds of years, but its basic function of preserving food has not changed. The development of technology endows the refrigerator with more functions and better fresh-keeping effect, but after the food is put into the refrigerator, it only enters the fresh-keeping environment created by the refrigerator, and the management of food still needs to be completed by the user. Some food, such as vegetables and fruits, can only prolong its fresh-keeping period and cannot keep fresh for a long time in the refrigerator. Many foods are inedible because the storage period is too long and cause deterioration, which brings great waste to peop...
