[0075] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; and direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediary.

Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner. In addition, those skilled in the art can combine and combine different embodiments or examples described in this specification and features of different embodiments or examples without contradiction.

[0077] The following combination Figures 1 to 9 The control method of the storage device according to the embodiment of the present invention is described. The execution subject of the method may be a controller of the storage device, or a cloud, or an edge server.

[0078] In the embodiment of the present invention, the storage device may be a refrigerator, a freezer, a retail cabinet, a vending machine or other storage device.

[0079] Different types of items require different relative humidity for storage. For example, the relative humidity required for storing dried goods, tea and nuts is below 45%, the relative humidity required for storing cosmetics or medicines is between 50% and 60%, and the relative humidity required for storing high-water content ingredients such as fruits and vegetables is above 80%.

[0080] Due to the working mode of air-cooled storage equipment, the circulating cold air will affect the humidity in the room, causing large fluctuations in the relative humidity in the room, which in turn affects the storage of food or other items in the room.

[0081] An embodiment of the present invention provides a control method for a storage device, which can accurately control the humidity of the compartments of the storage device, effectively preventing items stored in the storage device from deteriorating, being over-dried or getting damp, and extending the storage time of the items.

[0082] like Figure 1 As shown, the storage device control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes steps 110 to 130.

[0083] Step 110 : When the humidity control compartment 200 of the storage device is opened and then closed, control the damper between the humidity control compartment 200 and the evaporator compartment of the storage device to open for a first target time period, and obtain a first humidity value of the humidity control compartment 200 .

[0084] like Figure 2 As shown, the compartments of the storage device include: a refrigeration compartment 100 , an evaporator compartment and a humidity control compartment 200 .

[0085] The refrigerating chamber 100 is a compartment in the storage device for storing food or other items. The temperature of the refrigerating chamber 100 can be controlled between 1°C and 8°C.

[0086] The evaporator chamber is a compartment in storage equipment used to prepare circulating cold air. When high-temperature air flows through the evaporator built into the evaporator chamber, due to the high air temperature and low evaporator temperature, direct heat exchange occurs between the two, and the air temperature will drop.

[0087] By circulating the cold air prepared by the evaporator into the storage compartment of the storage device, the temperature of the storage compartment such as the refrigeration compartment 100 or the humidity control compartment 200 is lowered to reach the temperature for storing items.

[0088] The humidity control chamber 200 is a storage room for storage equipment. The humidity in the humidity control chamber 200 can be adjusted and controlled. A humidity sensor 210 is provided in the humidity control chamber 200. The humidity sensor 210 can collect humidity data in the humidity control chamber 200.

[0089] The humidity control chamber 200 and the evaporator chamber are connected through a cooling air duct 300. A damper is provided in the cooling air duct 300, and the opening and closing state of the damper is controllable.

[0090] When the damper in the cooling air duct 300 is open, the cold air in the evaporator room is blown into the humidity control compartment 200, which reduces the humidity in the humidity control compartment 200; when the damper in the cooling air duct 300 is closed, the cold air in the evaporator room will not be blown into the humidity control compartment 200.

[0091] The humidity control compartment 200 and the refrigerating compartment 100 are connected via a humidity control air duct. A humidity control fan is provided in the humidity control air duct, and the on / off state of the humidity control fan is controllable.

[0092] When the humidity control fan in the humidity control air duct is turned on, the gas in the refrigerating chamber 100 is blown into the humidity control compartment 200; when the humidity control fan in the humidity control air duct is turned off, the gas in the refrigerating chamber 100 will not be blown into the humidity control compartment 200.

[0093] In this embodiment, the user opens the humidity control compartment 200, completes the operation of taking out or putting in items, and then closes the humidity control compartment 200. The humidity or stored items in the humidity control compartment 200 change.

[0094] By controlling the air door in the cooling air duct 300 to open, the cold air in the evaporator room is blown into the humidity control chamber 200, and the temperature in the humidity control chamber 200 is quickly reduced.

[0095] In actual implementation, the humidity control compartment 200 may be an independent compartment located in the refrigerating compartment 100, and the temperature of the humidity control compartment 200 may be controlled between 1°C and 8°C.

[0096] The damper in the refrigeration air duct 300 is controlled to be open for a first target time period to ensure that the temperature of the humidity control chamber 200 reaches the temperature of the stored items.

[0097] After the damper in the cooling air duct 300 is opened for a first target time period, a first humidity value of the humidity control chamber 200 after cooling is obtained.

[0098] In actual implementation, the first target time length may range from 5 minutes to 10 minutes, and the first target time length may be adjusted according to the size of the humidity control compartment 200 or the size of the damper.

[0099] It is understandable that not every time the humidity control compartment 200 is opened or closed, an operation of taking out or putting in items is performed. The duration of the humidity control compartment 200 being opened can be detected and used as a judgment standard to determine whether the damper in the cooling duct 300 needs to be opened to control the cooling of the humidity control compartment 200.

[0100] For example, after detecting that the humidity control chamber 200 is open for ≥3 seconds, the humidity control chamber 200 is closed, indicating that the humidity or stored items in the humidity control chamber 200 may change, the damper in the cooling duct 300 is controlled to open, the humidity control chamber 200 is controlled to cool, and the first humidity value is obtained.

[0101] In this embodiment, after the damper in the cooling air duct 300 is opened for the first target time, the damper is closed, and the cold air prepared in the evaporator room is no longer blown into the humidity control compartment 200.

[0102] The humidity control compartment 200 no longer exchanges gas with the evaporator compartment. After the gas exchange is stopped for a second target time period, a second humidity value of the humidity control compartment 200 is obtained.

[0103] In actual implementation, the second target time length may be 20 minutes, and the second target time length may be adjusted according to the size of the humidity control compartment 200 or the number of stored items.

[0104] In this embodiment, the cold air prepared by the evaporator chamber is blown into the humidity control compartment 200, taking away the moisture in the humidity control compartment 200. When the humidity control compartment 200 enters a relatively sealed state, the moisture of the stored items in the humidity control compartment 200 evaporates, causing the humidity in the humidity control compartment 200 to rise.

[0105] It is understandable that the first humidity value of the humidity control compartment 200 after the damper in the cooling air duct 300 is opened for the first target time is lower than the second humidity value after the damper is closed for the second target time.

[0106] Step 130: Output a target control instruction to a target actuator based on the first humidity value and the second humidity value.

[0107] The target actuator is a device that can adjust the gas flow state between the refrigerating chamber 100 and the humidity control chamber 200. The target control instruction can trigger the target actuator to adjust the gas flow state between the refrigerating chamber 100 and the humidity control chamber 200.

[0108] In actual implementation, the target actuator may be a humidity control fan provided in the humidity control air duct.

[0109] In this embodiment, the on / off state of the humidity control fan can be controlled by outputting a target control instruction to the humidity control fan, so that the gas in the refrigeration chamber 100 flows into the humidity control compartment 200 or the gas in the humidity control compartment 200 flows into the refrigeration chamber 100.

[0110] In this step, the storage humidity required for the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 can be determined based on the first humidity value of the humidity control chamber 200 after the damper in the refrigeration duct 300 is opened for a first target time and the second humidity value after the damper is closed for a second target time.

[0111] The first humidity value of the humidity control chamber 200 is much lower than the second humidity value, indicating that the humidity control chamber 200 has entered a relatively sealed state. The items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 have more moisture volatilized, and thus the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 need to be stored in an environment with higher humidity.

[0112] For example, when fruits and vegetables are stored in the humidity control chamber 200, the first humidity value obtained through steps 110 and 120 is much lower than the second humidity value, and the fruits and vegetables need to be stored in an environment with higher humidity.

[0113] The difference between the first humidity value and the second humidity value of the humidity control chamber 200 is not much, indicating that the humidity control chamber 200 has entered a relatively sealed state, and the moisture volatilization of the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 is relatively small, thereby obtaining that the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 need to be stored in an environment with lower humidity.

[0114] For example, when tea leaves or nuts are stored in the humidity control chamber 200, the difference between the first humidity value and the second humidity value obtained through step 110 and step 120 is not large, and the tea leaves or nuts need to be stored in an environment with higher humidity.

[0115] In this embodiment, the storage humidity required for the items stored in the humidity control compartment 200 is determined based on the degree of difference between the first humidity value and the second humidity value of the humidity control compartment 200. By controlling the on / off state of the humidity control fan in the humidity control air duct, the air circulation state between the humidity control compartment 200 and the refrigeration compartment 100 is adjusted to ensure that the humidity in the humidity control compartment 200 is within the storage humidity range required for the items.

[0116] It is understandable that the items stored in the refrigerating chamber 100 are mostly fruits, vegetables and the like with a high moisture content, and the gas in the refrigerating chamber 100 is a gas with a high humidity.

[0117] When the humidity control fan in the humidity control air duct is turned on, the air in the refrigeration chamber 100 is blown into the humidity control compartment 200. The air with higher humidity contacts the air in the humidity control compartment 200, and the humidity in the humidity control compartment 200 is increased.

[0118] When the humidity control fan in the humidity control air duct is turned off, the gas in the refrigerating chamber 100 is no longer blown into the humidity control compartment 200, the humidity control compartment 200 is in a relatively sealed state, and the humidity fluctuation in the humidity control compartment 200 is not large.

[0119] In the related art, there are some storage devices that control humidity by adding fans. The fans are turned on and off according to the buttons selected by the user. It is easy to forget or select the wrong button, resulting in deterioration of items, over-drying or re-moisture.

[0120] In the embodiment of the present invention, the storage humidity required for the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 is determined based on the difference between the first humidity value and the second humidity value of the humidity control chamber 200. By controlling the on / off state of the humidity control fan in the humidity control air duct, the humidity of the humidity control chamber 200 is accurately controlled so that the humidity of the humidity control chamber 200 is within the storage humidity range required for the items, thereby preventing the items from deteriorating, being over-dried or rehumidified, and extending the storage time of the items.

[0121] According to the control method of the storage device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the first humidity value and the second humidity value of the humidity control chamber 200 are obtained to determine the storage humidity required for the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200. By controlling the on / off state of the humidity control fan in the humidity control air duct, the humidity of the humidity control chamber 200 is accurately controlled so that the humidity of the humidity control chamber 200 is within the storage humidity range required for the items, thereby avoiding deterioration, excessive drying or rehumidification of the items and extending the storage time of the items.

[0122] In some embodiments, step 130 includes determining a target humidity state based on the first humidity value and the second humidity value, and then outputting a target control instruction based on the target humidity state to control the gas flow state between the refrigeration chamber 100 and the humidity control chamber 200.

[0123] In this embodiment, the target humidity state is a storage humidity range required for the items stored in the humidity-controlled compartment 200 , and the target humidity state is related to the items in the humidity-controlled compartment 200 .

[0124] It is understandable that after the user completes the operation of taking or putting in items, the humidity or stored items in the humidity control chamber 200 changes. By obtaining the first humidity value and the second humidity value, the target humidity state required for storing the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 is determined.

[0125] In actual implementation, the duration of the humidity control chamber 200 being open can be detected, and the duration of the humidity control chamber 200 being open can be used as a judgment standard to determine whether the first humidity value and the second humidity value need to be re-acquired and the corresponding target humidity state can be re-determined.

[0126] In this embodiment, the type of the target humidity state is related to the configuration of the humidity control chamber 200 and the items stored therein, and can be manually set by the user.

[0127] In actual implementation, the target humidity state may include a first humidity state, a second humidity state, and a third humidity state.

[0128] The first humidity state may correspond to a low humidity state required for storing items such as dry goods, tea leaves and nuts, and the humidity range of the first humidity state may be below 45%, 50% or 75%.

[0129] The second humidity state may correspond to a high humidity state required for storing fruits, vegetables and other items, and the humidity range of the second humidity state may be above 80% or above 75%.

[0130] The third humidity state may correspond to a medium humidity state required for storing items such as cosmetics or medicines, and the humidity range of the third humidity state may be between 50% and 80%.

[0131] For example, when the humidity state of the humidity-controlled compartment 200 of the storage device includes a first humidity state, a second humidity state, and a third humidity state, the humidity range of the second humidity state is above 80%, the humidity range of the third humidity state can be between 50% and 80%, and the humidity range of the first humidity state can be below 50%.

[0132] For example, when the humidity state of the humidity control compartment 200 of the storage device includes a first humidity state and a second humidity state, the humidity range of the second humidity state is above 75%, and the humidity range of the first humidity state may be below 75%.

[0133] The switch state of the humidity control fan in the humidity control air duct is controlled according to the target humidity state, and the gas with higher humidity in the refrigeration chamber 100 is controlled to be blown into the humidity control compartment 200, thereby increasing the humidity of the humidity control compartment 200 or controlling the humidity control compartment 200 to be in a relatively sealed state, so that the humidity of the humidity control compartment 200 is maintained within the humidity value range of the target humidity state.

[0134] In some embodiments, the corresponding target humidity state is determined by calculating the humidity difference between the first humidity value and the second humidity value.

[0135] In this embodiment, the humidity difference between the first humidity value and the second humidity value represents the degree of moisture volatilization of items stored in the humidity control compartment 200 when the humidity control compartment 200 enters a relatively sealed state after refrigeration.

[0136] A large humidity difference between the first humidity value and the second humidity value indicates that the moisture volatilization degree of the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 is large. The items have a high moisture content and need to be stored in a high humidity environment to prevent the items from being over-dried.

[0137] For example, when the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 are fruits and vegetables, the humidity difference between the first humidity value and the second humidity value is large, and it is determined that the items need to be stored in a higher humidity environment, that is, the target humidity state is a high humidity state.

[0138] The humidity difference between the first humidity value and the second humidity value is small, indicating that the moisture volatilization degree of the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 is small. The items have a low water content and need to be stored in a low humidity environment to avoid deterioration or moisture resorption of the items.

[0139] For example, when the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 are tea leaves or nuts, the humidity difference between the first humidity value and the second humidity value is small, and it is determined that the items need to be stored in a lower humidity environment, that is, the target humidity state is a low humidity state.

[0140] In this embodiment, the target humidity state required for the storage of the items stored in the humidity-controlled chamber 200 is determined according to the degree of moisture evaporation of the items, and the humidity in the humidity-controlled chamber 200 is maintained within the humidity value range of the target humidity state by controlling the on-off state of the humidity control fan in the humidity control air duct, thereby prolonging the storage time of the items.

[0141] In some embodiments, the target humidity state includes a first humidity state and a second humidity state.

[0142] The humidity difference between the first humidity value and the second humidity value is calculated, and when the humidity difference is less than the first target humidity value, the target humidity state required for the storage of the items stored in the humidity-controlled chamber 200 is determined to be the first humidity state.

[0143] The humidity difference represents the degree of moisture evaporation of the items stored in the humidity-controlled chamber 200, and when the humidity difference is less than the first target humidity value, it indicates that the degree of moisture evaporation of the items is small, and the corresponding target humidity state is the low humidity state.

[0144] In actual implementation, the first target humidity value can be 15%, and the value of the first target humidity value can be set by the user according to the size of the humidity-controlled chamber 200.

[0145] For example, when the items stored in the humidity-controlled chamber 200 are tea leaves or nuts, the humidity difference between the first humidity value and the second humidity value is 8%, which is less than the first target humidity value of 15%, and the target humidity state of the items is determined to be the first humidity state.

[0146] When the humidity difference is greater than or equal to the first target humidity value, it indicates that the degree of moisture evaporation of the items is large, and the target humidity state required for the storage of the items stored in the humidity-controlled chamber 200 is determined to be the second humidity state.

[0147] For example, when the items stored in the humidity-controlled chamber 200 are fruits and vegetables, the humidity difference between the first humidity value and the second humidity value is 20%, which is greater than the first target humidity value of 15%, and the target humidity state of the items is determined to be the second humidity state.

[0148] In some embodiments, the target humidity state includes a first humidity state, a second humidity state, and a third humidity state.

[0149] When the humidity difference is less than the second target humidity value, the target humidity state required for the storage of the items stored in the humidity-controlled chamber 200 is determined to be the first humidity state.

[0150] In actual implementation, the second target humidity value can be 5%, and the value of the second target humidity value can be set by the user according to the size of the humidity-controlled chamber 200.

[0151] For example, when the article stored in the humidity control chamber 200 is tea, the humidity difference between the first humidity value and the second humidity value is 4%, which is less than the second target humidity value of 5%, and the target humidity state of the article is determined to be the first humidity state.

[0152] When the humidity difference is greater than or equal to the second target humidity value and less than the third target humidity value, it is determined that the target humidity state required for storing the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 is the third humidity state.

[0153] In actual implementation, the third target humidity value may be 10%, and the value of the third target humidity value may be set by the user according to the size of the humidity control chamber 200 .

[0154] For example, when the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 are medicines, the humidity difference between the first humidity value and the second humidity value is 8%, and between the second target humidity value of 5% and the third target humidity value of 10%, the target humidity state of the items is determined to be the third humidity state.

[0155] When the humidity difference is greater than or equal to the third target humidity value, it is determined that the target humidity state required for storing the articles stored in the humidity control chamber 200 is the second humidity state.

[0156] For example, when the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 are fruits and vegetables, the humidity difference between the first humidity value and the second humidity value is 12%, which is greater than the third target humidity value of 10%, and the target humidity state of the items is determined to be the second humidity state.

[0157] In some embodiments, after the damper in the cooling duct 300 is opened for the first target time, the cooling of the humidity control compartment 200 is completed, and the first humidity value is obtained, the real-time humidity value in the humidity control compartment 200 can also be obtained.

[0158] The target humidity state of the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 is determined according to the real-time humidity value, the first humidity value, and the second humidity value.

[0159] It is understandable that the real-time humidity value can reflect the degree of moisture volatilization of the items in the humidity control chamber 200. When the real-time humidity value is too high, it can be directly determined that the moisture content of the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 is high, and then the corresponding target humidity state is determined.

[0160] The real-time humidity value is the humidity value after the humidity control chamber 200 is cooled. After cooling, the humidity control chamber 200 enters a relatively sealed state, and moisture in items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 evaporates. The real-time humidity value is greater than the first humidity value.

[0161] In this embodiment, the degree of moisture volatilization of the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 can be quickly determined based on the real-time humidity value, and then the target humidity state required for storing the items can be determined. Then, the storage time of the items can be extended by controlling the on / off state of the humidity control fan in the humidity control air duct.

[0162] In actual implementation, when the real-time humidity value exceeds a certain threshold, the target humidity state can be directly judged to be a high humidity state. When the real-time humidity value is lower than a certain threshold, the target humidity state can be judged to be a low humidity state in combination with the second humidity value, or the target humidity state can be judged based on the difference between the first humidity value and the second humidity value.

[0163] In some embodiments, the target humidity state includes a first humidity state and a second humidity state.

[0164] When the acquired real-time humidity value is greater than or equal to the fifth target humidity value, it indicates that the moisture volatilization degree of the articles is relatively large, and it is determined that the target humidity state required for storing the articles stored in the humidity control chamber 200 is the second humidity state.

[0165] In actual implementation, the fifth target humidity value can be 80%. When the real-time humidity value is greater than or equal to the fifth target humidity value, it indicates that the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 have a high moisture content. The value of the fifth target humidity value can be set by the user according to the size of the humidity control chamber 200.

[0166] For example, when the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 are fruits and vegetables, the real-time humidity value obtained is 90%, and it is determined that the moisture content of the items is relatively high, and the corresponding target humidity state is the second humidity state.

[0167] When the acquired real-time humidity value is less than the fifth target humidity value, it is necessary to determine the target humidity state in combination with the second humidity value.

[0168] The acquired real-time humidity value is less than the fifth target humidity value, and the corresponding second humidity value is less than the fourth target humidity value. It is determined that the target humidity state required for storing the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 is the first humidity state.

[0169] In actual implementation, the fourth target humidity value may be 65%, and the value of the fourth target humidity value may be set by the user according to the size of the humidity control chamber 200 .

[0170] For example, when the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 are nuts, the real-time humidity value obtained is less than the fifth target humidity value of 80%, and the final second humidity value is 45%, which is less than the fourth target humidity value of 65%. The corresponding target humidity state is judged to be the first humidity state.

[0171] In this embodiment, when the humidity control chamber 200 remains in a relatively sealed state after cooling, the real-time humidity value is less than the fifth target humidity value and the final second humidity value is also less than the fourth target humidity value. The target humidity state can be judged based on the humidity difference between the first humidity value and the second humidity value.

[0172] A specific embodiment of determining the target humidity state is described below.

[0173] like Figure 8 As shown, taking the storage device as a refrigerator as an example, the first humidity state, the second humidity state and the third humidity state correspond to the low humidity state, the high humidity state and the medium humidity state respectively.

[0174] The refrigerator is operating normally, and it is determined whether the humidity control compartment 200 is open for more than 3 seconds. When the humidity control compartment 200 is open for more than 3 seconds, it can be determined that the items or humidity in the humidity control compartment 200 have changed.

[0175] After the humidity control compartment 200 is closed, the damper of the cooling air duct 300 is controlled to open, so that the cold air in the evaporator is blown into the humidity control compartment 200 to cool the humidity control compartment 200.

[0176] After keeping the damper open for 10 minutes, the humidity sensor 210 records a first humidity value H1.

[0177] After closing the damper and keeping the refrigerator running for 20 minutes, the humidity sensor 210 records the second humidity value H2. During this period, the humidity sensor 210 can record the real-time humidity value H of the humidity control compartment 200 to compare the real-time humidity value H with the humidity threshold H3.

[0178] When the real-time humidity value H is greater than or equal to 80% of the humidity threshold value H3, it is determined that the target humidity state of the humidity control chamber 200 is a high humidity state.

[0179] According to the humidity difference ΔH between the first humidity value H1 and the second humidity value H2 being greater than or equal to 10%, it can also be determined that the target humidity state of the humidity control chamber 200 is a high humidity state.

[0180] After determining that the high humidity state is in effect, when the refrigerator is shut down for the second time, ie, when the refrigerator compartment 100 of the refrigerator stops refrigerating for the second time, it is determined whether the real-time humidity value H is less than or equal to 65%.

[0181] The refrigerator is shut down for the second time, and the refrigerating chamber 100 of the refrigerator experiences stopping refrigeration (off), starting refrigeration (on), and stopping refrigeration again (off).

[0182] If the real-time humidity value H is less than or equal to 65%, the target humidity state of the humidity control compartment 200 is changed to a low humidity state, and the judgment is ended, and the refrigerator operates normally.

[0183] When the real-time humidity value H is less than the humidity threshold value H3 and the second humidity value H2 is less than 65%, it is determined that the target humidity state of the humidity control chamber 200 is a low humidity state.

[0184] According to the humidity difference ΔH between the first humidity value H1 and the second humidity value H2 being less than 5%, it can also be determined that the target humidity state of the humidity control chamber 200 is a low humidity state.

[0185] After determining that the low humidity state is in effect, when the refrigerator is turned on for the second time, ie, when the refrigerator compartment 100 of the refrigerator starts cooling for the second time, it is determined whether the real-time humidity value H is greater than or equal to 80%.

[0186] When the refrigerator is turned on for the second time, the refrigerator compartment 100 of the refrigerator experiences the process of starting refrigeration (on), stopping refrigeration (off) and starting refrigeration again (on).

[0187] If the real-time humidity value H is greater than or equal to 80%, the target humidity state of the humidity control chamber 200 is changed to a high humidity state, and the judgment is ended, and the refrigerator operates normally.

[0188] When the humidity difference ΔH between the first humidity value H1 and the second humidity value H2 is greater than or equal to 5% and less than 10%, it is determined that the target humidity state of the humidity control chamber 200 is a medium humidity state.

[0189] In some embodiments, when it is determined that the target humidity state of the items stored in the humidity control compartment 200 is the second humidity state, combined with the on / off state of the refrigeration compartment 100, a target control instruction is output to control the on / off state of the humidity control fan so that the humidity of the humidity control compartment 200 is maintained within the humidity value range of the target humidity state.

[0190] When the refrigerating chamber 100 is in the turned-on cooling state, cold air will be blown into the refrigerating chamber 100. At this time, the first control instruction is output to control the humidity control fan to turn off, so as to prevent the cold air flowing in the refrigerating chamber 100 from taking away the moisture in the humidity control chamber 200, thereby keeping the humidity in the humidity control chamber 200 at the second humidity state.

[0191] When the refrigerating chamber 100 is in the closed and stopped state, no cold air will be blown into the refrigerating chamber 100. Most of the items stored in the refrigerating chamber 100 have a high moisture content. The second control instruction is output to control the humidity control fan to turn on, and the gas with a higher humidity in the refrigerating chamber 100 is blown into the humidity control chamber 200 to keep the humidity in the humidity control chamber 200 at the second humidity state.

[0192] In some embodiments, when it is determined that the target humidity state of the items stored in the humidity control compartment 200 is the first humidity state, the target control instruction is output according to the on / off state of the refrigeration compartment 100 to control the on / off state of the humidity control fan so that the humidity of the humidity control compartment 200 is maintained within the humidity value range of the target humidity state.

[0193] When the refrigerating chamber 100 is in the turned-on refrigerating state, cold air will be blown into the refrigerating chamber 100. At this time, the third control instruction is output to control the humidity control fan to turn on, so that the cold air in the refrigerating chamber 100 is blown into the humidity control chamber 200, taking away the moisture in the humidity control chamber 200, and then keeping the humidity in the humidity control chamber 200 at the first humidity state.

[0194] When the refrigerating chamber 100 is in the closed and stopped state, no cold air will be blown into the refrigerating chamber 100. Most of the items stored in the refrigerating chamber 100 have a high moisture content. The fourth control instruction is output to control the humidity control fan to turn off, so as to prevent the high-humidity gas in the refrigerating chamber 100 from entering the humidity control chamber 200, and keep the humidity in the humidity control chamber 200 at the first humidity state.

[0195] In some embodiments, when it is determined that the target humidity state of the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 is the third humidity state, the corresponding target control instruction can be output according to the target time interval or the start and stop points of the refrigeration chamber 100 to control the on and off state of the humidity control fan so that the humidity of the humidity control chamber 200 is maintained within the humidity value range of the target humidity state.

[0196] Take controlling the on / off state of a humidity control fan according to a target time interval as an example.

[0197] Output the fifth control instruction to control the humidity control fan to turn on according to the target time interval, keep the on state for the third target time length, turn off the humidity control fan, intermittently blow gas with higher humidity into the humidity control chamber 200 to increase the humidity, or intermittently blow cold air into the humidity control chamber 200 to reduce the humidity, so that the humidity of the humidity control chamber 200 is maintained within the humidity value range of the third humidity state.

[0198] For example, the humidity control fan is turned on every 20 minutes, and after remaining on for 5 minutes, the humidity control fan is turned off.

[0199] Take controlling the on / off state of the humidity control fan according to the on / off points of the refrigeration chamber 100 as an example.

[0200] The refrigeration chamber 100 enters a shutdown state, and when the shutdown state lasts for a fourth target time, a sixth control instruction is output to control the humidity control fan to turn on, and the humidity control fan is controlled to remain in the on state for a fifth target time, intermittently blowing gas with higher humidity into the humidity control compartment 200, so that the humidity of the humidity control compartment 200 is maintained within the humidity value range of the third humidity state.

[0201] A specific embodiment of the humidity control chamber 200 is described below.

[0202] like Figure 9 As shown, a refrigerator is taken as an example of a storage device.

[0203] Step 910: Obtain the door opening / closing status of the refrigerator door or the humidity control drawer to determine whether the humidity or stored items in the humidity control compartment 200 may have changed.

[0204] Step 920: After detecting that the door is closed, obtain the cooling time of the humidity control compartment 200.

[0205] Step 930 : After detecting the door closing, obtain the humidity value and its change degree when the air door in the refrigeration duct 300 is opened for the first target time t1 and stops gas exchange for the second target time t2.

[0206] Step 940: Determine the humidity state of the humidity control chamber 200 according to the humidity value and its variation range.

[0207] Step 950: According to the on / off state and humidity state of the refrigerating chamber 100, the humidity control fan of the humidity control air duct is controlled to adjust the humidity of the humidity control compartment 200.

[0208] The control device of the storage device provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described below. The control device of the storage device described below and the control method of the storage device described above can refer to each other.

[0209] like Figure 10 As shown, the control device of the storage device provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0210] A first acquisition module 1010 is configured to control a damper between the humidity control compartment 200 and the evaporator compartment of the storage device to open for a first target duration when the humidity control compartment 200 of the storage device is opened and then closed, thereby acquiring a first humidity value of the humidity control compartment 200;

[0211] The second acquisition module 1020 is used to control the damper between the humidity control chamber 200 and the evaporator chamber to close, and obtain a second humidity value of the humidity control chamber 200 after a second target time period;

[0212] The processing module 1030 is used to output a target control instruction to the target actuator based on the first humidity value and the second humidity value, and the target control instruction is used to trigger the target actuator to control the gas flow state between the humidity control compartment 200 and the refrigeration compartment 100 of the storage device.

[0213] According to the control device of the storage device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, by obtaining the first humidity value and the second humidity value of the humidity control compartment 200, the storage humidity required for the items stored in the humidity control compartment 200 is determined, and by controlling the on / off state of the humidity control fan in the humidity control air duct, the humidity of the humidity control compartment 200 is accurately controlled so that the humidity of the humidity control compartment 200 is within the storage humidity range required for the items, thereby preventing the items from deteriorating, being over-dried or rehumidified, and extending the storage time of the items.

[0214] In some embodiments, the processing module 1030 is configured to determine a target humidity state of the humidity-controlled room 200 based on the first humidity value and the second humidity value; and output a target control instruction to the target actuator based on the target humidity state.

[0217] In some embodiments, the processing module 1030 is configured to determine the target humidity state as the second humidity state when the humidity difference is not less than the first target humidity value.

[0218] In some embodiments, the processing module 1030 is configured to determine the target humidity state as the first humidity state when the humidity difference is less than the second target humidity value.

[0219] In some embodiments, the processing module 1030 is configured to determine the target humidity state as the third humidity state when the humidity difference is not less than the second target humidity value and less than the third target humidity value.

[0220] In some embodiments, the processing module 1030 is configured to determine the target humidity state as the second humidity state when the humidity difference is not less than the third target humidity value.

[0221] In some embodiments, the processing module 1030 is configured to determine the target humidity state as the first humidity state when the real-time humidity value is less than a fourth target humidity value and the second humidity value is less than or equal to a fifth target humidity value.

[0222] In some embodiments, the processing module 1030 is configured to determine the target humidity state as the second humidity state when the real-time humidity value is not less than the fifth target humidity value.

[0223] In some embodiments, the processing module 1030 is configured to output a first control instruction to the target actuator when the target humidity state is the second humidity state and the refrigeration compartment 100 is in the refrigeration state, the first control instruction being configured to control the target actuator to be closed.

[0224] In some embodiments, the processing module 1030 is configured to output a first control instruction to the target actuator when the target humidity state is the second humidity state and the refrigeration compartment 100 is in the refrigeration state, the first control instruction being configured to control the target actuator to be closed.

[0225] When the refrigerating chamber 100 is in a shutdown state, the second control instruction is output to the target actuator, and the first control instruction is used to control the target actuator to open.

[0226] In some embodiments, when the target humidity state is the first humidity state, the processing module 1030 is configured to output a third control instruction to the target actuator when the refrigeration chamber 100 is in the cooling state, wherein the first control instruction is configured to control the target actuator to open;

[0227] When the refrigerating chamber 100 is in a shutdown state, the fourth control instruction is output to the target actuator, and the first control instruction is used to control the target actuator to be closed.

[0228] In some embodiments, when the target humidity state is the third humidity state, the processing module 1030 is configured to output a fifth control instruction, where the fifth control instruction is configured to control the target actuator to open at a target time interval and close after the target time duration.

[0229] Alternatively, when the duration of the refrigeration chamber 100 entering the shutdown state reaches the fourth target duration, a sixth control instruction is output, which is used to control the target actuator to open and close after continuing for the fifth target duration.

[0230] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a storage device.

[0231] In the embodiment of the present invention, the storage device may be a refrigerator, a freezer, a retail cabinet, a vending machine or other storage device.

[0232] like Figure 2 As shown, the compartments of the storage device include: a refrigeration compartment 100 , an evaporator compartment and a humidity control compartment 200 .

[0233] The humidity control chamber 200 and the evaporator chamber are connected through a cooling air duct 300. A damper is provided in the cooling air duct 300, and the opening and closing state of the damper is controllable.

[0234] The humidity control compartment 200 and the refrigerating compartment 100 are connected via a humidity control air duct, in which a target actuator is provided, wherein the target actuator may be a humidity control fan, and the on / off state of the humidity control fan is controllable.

[0235] The control device of the storage device as described above is electrically connected to the damper, the humidity control fan and the humidity sensor 210, and can control the on / off status of the damper and the humidity control fan based on the on / off status of the humidity control chamber 200 and the humidity data collected by the humidity sensor 210.

[0236] According to the storage device provided by the present invention, by obtaining the first humidity value and the second humidity value of the humidity control chamber 200, the storage humidity required for the items stored in the humidity control chamber 200 is determined, and by controlling the on / off state of the humidity control fan in the humidity control air duct, the humidity of the humidity control chamber 200 is accurately controlled so that the humidity of the humidity control chamber 200 is within the storage humidity range required for the items, thereby preventing the items from deteriorating, being over-dried or regaining moisture, and extending the storage time of the items.

[0237] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the cooling air duct 300 includes a cooling return air duct 320 and a cooling outlet air duct 310 . The cooling outlet air duct 310 delivers the cold air prepared by the evaporator into the humidity control chamber 200 through the cooling air outlet.

[0238] In some embodiments, the cooling air outlet includes multiple air outlets, and the multiple air outlets are arranged on the inner wall above the humidity control chamber 200. The sizes of the multiple air outlets gradually increase toward the open side of the humidity control chamber 200 to ensure the uniformity of temperature and humidity in the humidity control chamber 200.

[0239] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the multiple air outlets include air outlet a221, air outlet b222 and air outlet c223.

[0240] Among them, the air outlet c223 is close to the open side of the humidity control chamber 200 and has the largest size; the air outlet b222 is located in the middle of the upper inner wall of the humidity control chamber 200 and has a moderate size; the air outlet a221 is far away from the open side of the humidity control chamber 200 and has the smallest size.

[0241] The volume of cold air output from the air outlet a221 to the air outlet c223 gradually increases, so that the cold air in the entire space of the humidity control chamber 200 is evenly distributed, thereby ensuring the uniformity of temperature and humidity in the humidity control chamber 200.

[0242] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, a humidity sensor 210 , a humidity control vent 240 and a humidity control return air vent 250 are also arranged on the upper inner wall of the humidity control chamber 200 .

[0243] The humidity control vent 240 can connect the humidity control air duct and the humidity control chamber 200 , and the gas in the refrigeration chamber 100 is blown into the humidity control chamber 200 through the humidity control air duct and the humidity control vent 240 .

[0244] The humidity control return air vent 250 can connect the humidity control air duct and the humidity control chamber 200. The gas in the humidity control chamber 200 is blown into the refrigeration chamber 100 through the humidity control return air vent 250 and the humidity control air duct, ensuring the gas circulation state between the humidity control chamber 200 and the refrigeration chamber 100.

[0245] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 As shown, an air supply port a311 is provided on the cooling air outlet duct 310, and the air supply port a311 is connected to the cooling air outlet. The cold air prepared by the evaporator is sent into the humidity control chamber 200 through the air supply port a311 and the cooling air outlet.

[0246] The cooling return air duct 320 is provided with a return air port a321, which is connected to the cooling return air port. The gas in the humidity control chamber 200 returns to the evaporator chamber via the return air port a321 and the cooling return air port.

[0247] In actual implementation, the storage device further includes an air duct connector 400 .
