Fruit maturity control method and system and intelligent refrigerator

Abstract

The invention provides a fruit maturity control method and system and an intelligent refrigerator. The intelligent refrigerator comprises a display unit, an ethylene concentration sensing unit, an ethylene control unit, a refrigeration unit, a processor and a storage chamber. The display unit is used for receiving the type and quality, input by a user, of a fruit put into the storage chamber. The processor is used for determining the target ethylene content of the fruit when the fruit reaches a mature state according to the type and quality of the fruit and triggering the ethylene concentration sensing unit to work according to a preset detection period. The ethylene concentration sensing unit is used for detecting the current ethylene content in the storage chamber and sending the current ethylene content to the processor. The processor is further used for determining the maturity of the fruit. When the current ethylene content is smaller than a target ethylene content, it is determined that the fruit is immature, the ethylene control unit is controlled to release ethylene. Otherwise it is determined that the fruit is mature, the ethylene control unit is controlled to absorb ethylene and the refrigerating unit is controlled to lower the temperature in the storage chamber. According to the scheme, the maturity of the fruit can be controlled.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of smart home appliances, in particular to a fruit ripeness control method and system and a smart refrigerator. Background technique [0002] As the food storage area of ​​the family, the refrigerator mainly keeps the freshness of the ingredients by controlling the temperature and humidity. Putting the food in the refrigerator can effectively slow down the spoilage of the food. [0003] However, there are situations in life where the purchased fruits are still immature, the biochemical reactions inside these fruits are still going on, and the respiratory metabolism is still going on. For immature fruits, if they are stored in a low-temperature environment too early, it will not be conducive to the respiratory metabolism of the fruit, and may even cause frostbite to the fruit. Therefore, need a kind of method that can control fruit ripeness, prolong the storage time of fruit. [0004] Application No. 201410...
