Problems solved by technology

[0002] 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.

Embodiment Construction

[0017] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] Such as figure 1 As shown, a food monitoring system for a smart refrigerator includes a central processing unit 1 , an entry unit 2 , a communication unit 3 and a monitoring unit 4 . The signal output terminals of the recording unit 2 and the monitoring unit 4 are connected to the signal input terminal of the central processing unit 1 , and the signal output terminal of the central processing unit 1 is connected to the signal input terminal of the communication unit 3 .

[0019] Input unit 2 is used to input food information and food management information, including food name, category, food infrared data, specific gas content released by food, shelf life, optimal storage temperature and humidity, storage date, expected take-out date, storage location, etc. . The input unit 2 adopts a touch screen integrated with a miniature microphon...

Abstract

The invention provides a food monitoring system and monitoring method for smart refrigerators. The system includes a central processing unit, an input unit and a communication unit, and also includes a monitoring unit installed in the refrigerator. Temperature and humidity sensors for temperature and humidity in the refrigerator, infrared sensors for real-time collection of infrared data of food in the refrigerator, and air detectors for real-time collection of specific gas content released by food in the refrigerator. The invention also provides a monitoring method for a food monitoring system of an intelligent refrigerator. By setting the monitoring unit, the present invention can optimize and control the storage management instructions of the food stored in the refrigerator and the refrigeration environment in the refrigerator in real time, so as to convey more accurate food preservation information to the user, and enable the user to make corresponding adjustments to the food in the refrigerator in time. processing to maximize the enjoyment of fresh food and avoid waste due to the food shelf life process.

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. Background technique [0002] 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 people's lives...
