Abstract

The invention discloses a refrigerator having a food management function and a control method thereof. The refrigerator comprises a sensing unit mounted on a tank, an image acquisition unit, and a control unit. The sensing unit comprises a first sensing portion disposed near the door body and a second sensing portion remote from the door body. The first sensing portion and the second sensing portion respectively include a signal transmitting end and a signal receiving end which are respectively arranged on both sides of the tank oppositely, and in the case where there is no foreign objects obstructed, detection signals transmitted by the signal transmitting end are received by the signal receiving end. The image acquisition unit installed at an upper middle position of the tank is used for taking a picture when the preset camera triggering condition is satisfied; the control unit is used for determining the moving direction of the food materials according to the feedback signal of the sensing unit, controlling the image acquisition unit to acquire images and extract the characteristics of the food materials by image identification; updating the entry label according to the moving direction and the characteristics of the food materials.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of design and manufacture of refrigerators, in particular to a refrigerator with a food material management function and a food material management method. Background technique [0002] Refrigerators are indispensable household appliances in modern families. With the advancement of technology, smart refrigerators are increasingly favored by users. In smart refrigerators, the functions of ingredient input and expiration reminders are new functions commonly used by users; When putting in the ingredients, input the ingredients and their shelf life through the input interface provided by the refrigerator; when taking the ingredients out of the refrigerator, delete or update the previous records, and output a reminder message when a certain ingredient reaches the shelf life. Since this method requires the user to enter and delete, it is very inconvenient in actual use, so the automatic entry and reminder function of the re...
