[0059] The technical solution of this application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0060] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of an application environment provided by an embodiment of this application;
[0061] As shown in Figure 1, the application environment 100 includes: an aging detection device 10, a cooling device 20, a cloud server 30, and a smart terminal 40. The aging detection device 10 and the cooling device 20 are connected via network communication; the cooling device 20 and the cloud server 30 are connected via network communication; and the cloud server 30 and the smart terminal 40 are connected via network communication. This network includes wired and / or wireless networks. It can be understood that the network includes wireless networks such as 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, and may also include wired networks such as serial cables and Ethernet cables.
[0062] In this embodiment of the application, the aging detection device 10 includes a temperature sensing unit, a communication module, and a controller.
[0063] In this embodiment, the temperature sensing unit includes one or more temperature sensors. The temperature sensing unit detects the temperature inside the refrigeration device 20 and converts it into a usable output signal, which is then transmitted to the controller. In this embodiment, the temperature sensor includes, but is not limited to, thermocouple sensors, thermistor sensors, resistance temperature detectors, and IC temperature sensors; preferably, the temperature sensor is a thermistor sensor.
[0064] In this embodiment, the communication module is connected to a cloud server and is used to receive instructions sent by the cloud server, such as instructions to start / stop aging detection; or to send data to the cloud server, such as data on the internal temperature measurement of the refrigeration equipment.

As the control core of the aging test equipment, the controller is used to control the aging test equipment to start / stop aging testing, control the temperature sensing unit to measure the internal temperature of the refrigeration equipment, and perform some business logic processing. For example, the controller is used to obtain the current temperature of the refrigeration equipment; when the current temperature is greater than or equal to a first preset temperature, the refrigeration equipment is turned on, and the current temperature and the time taken for the refrigeration equipment to recover to its original temperature are automatically recorded; when the current temperature is less than or equal to a second preset temperature, the compressor is turned off, and the current temperature and the cooling time taken for the refrigeration equipment are automatically recorded.

[0068] In this embodiment, the cloud server 20 is communicatively connected to the aging detection device 10 and the smart terminal 40. It is used to receive a request from the smart terminal 40 to start aging detection, or to send control commands to the aging detection device 10. For example, after receiving the request from the smart terminal, the cloud server sends a start aging detection command to the aging detection device.

There are multiple smart terminals 40, including but not limited to: landline telephones, mobile communication devices, mobile personal computer devices, or other electronic devices with internet access capabilities.
[0071] Please refer to Figure 2, which is a flowchart illustrating an aging test method for a refrigeration device provided in an embodiment of this application;
[0072] Specifically, the aging test method for the refrigeration equipment is executed by one or more processors of the aging test equipment, and the refrigeration equipment includes a compressor.
[0073] As shown in Figure 2, the aging test method for this refrigeration equipment includes:
[0074] Step S201: Determine the target temperature of the refrigeration equipment;
[0075] Specifically, the target temperature of the refrigeration equipment is set according to actual needs. For example, the target temperature of the refrigeration equipment can be set to 10℃. The target temperature of the refrigeration equipment is used as the standard for the refrigeration equipment's temperature recovery and cooling. When the temperature of the refrigeration equipment rises from the current temperature to the target temperature, the process is called temperature recovery, and the duration of the process is called temperature recovery time. When the temperature of the refrigeration equipment drops from the current temperature to the target temperature, the process is called cooling, and the duration of the process is called cooling time.
[0076] Step S202: Obtain the current temperature of the refrigeration equipment at fixed time intervals;
[0077] Please refer to Figure 3 again. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a thermistor temperature measurement circuit provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0078] As shown in Figure 3, the thermistor temperature measurement circuit consists of a power supply, two fixed resistors, two capacitors, and an NTC resistor. The NTC resistor is a thermistor with a negative temperature coefficient whose resistance decreases exponentially with increasing temperature. By detecting the resistance value across the NTC resistor using this thermistor temperature measurement circuit, the current temperature of the refrigeration equipment can be obtained by referring to Table 1 based on the resistance value across the NTC resistor.
[0079]
[0080]
[0081] Table 1
[0082] Specifically, a fixed time is set, and the current temperature of the refrigeration equipment is obtained through an aging test device at fixed time intervals. For example, the fixed time is set to 10 minutes, and the current temperature of the refrigeration equipment is obtained through an aging test device every 10 minutes.
[0083] Step S203: When the current temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, turn on the compressor and automatically record the current temperature and the time taken for the refrigeration equipment to recover its temperature; when the current temperature is less than or equal to the second preset temperature, turn off the compressor and automatically record the current temperature and the time taken for the refrigeration equipment to cool down.
[0084] Specifically, based on actual needs, a first preset temperature and a second preset temperature are set, where the first preset temperature is higher than the target temperature and the second preset temperature is lower than the target temperature. When the current temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, the compressor is turned on, and the current temperature and the time taken for the refrigeration equipment to recover to the target temperature are automatically recorded. When the current temperature is less than or equal to the second preset temperature, the compressor is turned off, and the current temperature and the time taken for the refrigeration equipment to cool down are automatically recorded. The process of the refrigeration equipment rising from the current temperature to the target temperature is called recovery, and the duration of this process is called recovery time. The process of the refrigeration equipment falling from the current temperature to the target temperature is called cooling, and the duration of this process is called cooling time. For example, if the target temperature is 10℃, the first preset temperature is set to 12℃, and the second preset temperature is set to 8℃. The cooling time is the time taken for the current temperature to fall from the current temperature to 10℃ when it is greater than or equal to 12℃; the recovery time is the time taken for the current temperature to rise from the current temperature to 10℃ when it is less than or equal to 8℃.
[0085] Step S204: Record the number of times the compressor is turned on within a preset time period;
[0086] Specifically, a preset time is set according to actual needs. This preset time is the total duration of the aging test. For example, the preset time can be set to 24 hours. The number of times the compressor is turned on within the preset time is recorded. This number of times the compressor is turned on is used as one of the criteria for judging whether the refrigeration equipment has aged.
[0087] Step S204: Based on the temperature recovery time and cooling time of the refrigeration equipment recorded within a preset time, calculate the root mean square error of the temperature recovery time and the root mean square error of the cooling time.
[0088] Please refer to Figure 4 again. Figure 4 is a flowchart illustrating the calculation of the root mean square error of the cooling time of a refrigeration device according to an embodiment of this application.
[0089] As shown in Figure 4, the standard deviation of the cooling time of the refrigeration equipment is calculated, including:
[0090]
[0091] Where a is the root mean square error of cooling time, xn is the nth cooling time reported by the device, and u is the average cooling time.
[0092] Please refer to Figure 5 again. Figure 5 is a flowchart illustrating the calculation of the root mean square error of the reheating time of a refrigeration device according to an embodiment of this application.

[0094]
[0095] Where b is the root mean square error of the reheating time, yn is the nth reheating time reported by the device, and p is the average of the reheating times.
[0096] Specifically, based on multiple data points on the reheating time and cooling time of the refrigeration equipment recorded within a preset time period, the root mean square error of the reheating time and the root mean square error of the cooling time are calculated. These root mean square errors are used as one of the criteria for subsequently judging whether the refrigeration equipment has aged.
[0097] Step S205: If the refrigeration equipment meets the preset conditions, then the aging test result of the refrigeration equipment is determined to be passed;
[0098] Specifically, the preset conditions include: the number of times the compressor is turned on within a preset time meets the first preset condition; the root mean square error of the temperature recovery time of the refrigeration equipment meets the second preset condition; and the root mean square error of the cooling time of the refrigeration equipment meets the third preset condition. If the refrigeration equipment meets all of the above preset conditions, the aging test result of the refrigeration equipment is determined to be passed.
[0099] In this application embodiment, the first preset condition is: the number of times the compressor is turned on within a preset time is greater than or equal to 24 times; the second preset condition is: the root mean square error a of the cooling time of the refrigeration equipment is less than 10; the third preset condition is: the root mean square error b of the temperature recovery time of the refrigeration equipment is less than 10.
[0100] Step S206: If the refrigeration equipment does not meet the preset conditions, the aging test result of the refrigeration equipment is determined to be unsuccessful;
[0101] Specifically, if the refrigeration equipment does not meet any of the above preset conditions, the aging test result of the refrigeration equipment is determined to be unsuccessful, that is, the refrigeration equipment has aged.
[0102] In this embodiment, an aging detection method for a refrigeration device is provided. The refrigeration device includes a compressor. The method includes: determining a target temperature for the refrigeration device; acquiring the current temperature of the refrigeration device at fixed time intervals; when the current temperature is greater than or equal to a first preset temperature, turning on the compressor and automatically recording the current temperature and the time taken for the refrigeration device to recover its temperature; when the current temperature is less than or equal to a second preset temperature, turning off the compressor and automatically recording the current temperature and the time taken for the refrigeration device to cool down; recording the number of times the compressor is turned on within a preset time period; and calculating the root mean square error of the recovery time of the refrigeration device based on the recorded recovery time and cooling time within the preset time period. The aging test result of the refrigeration equipment is determined to be passed if the refrigeration equipment meets the preset conditions; if the refrigeration equipment does not meet the preset conditions, the aging test result of the refrigeration equipment is determined to be failed. The preset conditions include: the number of times the compressor is turned on within a preset time meets the first preset condition; the mean square error of the temperature recovery time of the refrigeration equipment meets the second preset condition; and the mean square error of the cooling time of the refrigeration equipment meets the third preset condition. This application can automatically record the current temperature, temperature recovery, and cooling time of the refrigeration equipment, and automatically determine whether the refrigeration equipment is aging based on the preset conditions, thereby improving the convenience and accuracy of aging test of refrigeration equipment.

[0111] Step S702: After receiving the instruction from the cloud server, the IoT network module detects the current temperature and sends a start / stop instruction to the compressor via the serial communication protocol according to the current temperature.
[0112] Specifically, after receiving instructions from the cloud server, the IoT networking module detects the current temperature of the refrigeration equipment and sends start / stop commands to the compressor of the refrigeration equipment via a serial communication protocol based on the current temperature. In this embodiment, the compressor start command is: A5 01 00 01 01 00 01 01 00 00 00 00 00A8 5A, and the compressor stop command is: A5 01 00 00 00 00 01 01 00 00 00 00 00A8 5A.
