Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0076] The following further explains the refrigerator dehumidification control method provided by the present invention with specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The embodiments do not limit the embodiments of the present invention.

[0077] See Figure 1 , which is the flowchart of an embodiment of a refrigerator dehumidification control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the process may include the following steps:

[0078] Step 101, obtain the humidity value of the food storage area in the refrigerator, as well as the food information of the food stored in the food storage area and the relative position relationship between the food and the air outlet.

[0079] The above refrigerator can be an intelligent refrigerator, and the intelligent refrigerator can be used as the execution subject of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0080] A dehumidification device may be provided in the above refrigerator, and an air outlet is provided on the dehumidification device. In the embodiment of the present invention, the food storage area in the refrigerator can be dehumidified through the air outlet provided on the dehumidification device.

[0081] The above food storage area is the area in the refrigerator for storing food.

[0082] The above food information is the food information of the food stored in the food storage area, and the food information includes but is not limited to: food images, food storage time, food names, and food shelf life, etc.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to prevent bacteria from growing on the food stored in the food storage area inside the refrigerator due to excessive humidity, the execution subject of the embodiment of the present invention can continuously monitor the humidity value of the food storage area in the refrigerator, and when the humidity value is too high, dehumidify the food storage area in the refrigerator in a timely manner.

[0084] Optionally, a humidity sensor may be provided inside the refrigerator, and the execution subject of the embodiment of the present invention can obtain the humidity value of the food storage area in the refrigerator through the humidity sensor.

[0085] Further, after determining the humidity value of the ingredient storage area in the refrigerator, the execution subject of the embodiment of the present invention can obtain the ingredient information of the ingredients stored in the ingredient storage area and the relative position relationship between the ingredients and the air outlet of the dehumidifying device.

[0086] Specifically, an image acquisition device can be arranged in the refrigerator. Correspondingly, the above-mentioned ingredient information can include ingredient images. The execution subject of the embodiment of the present invention can directly collect the ingredient images of the ingredients in the ingredient storage area through the above-mentioned image acquisition device, and obtain the relative position relationship between the ingredients and the air outlet by performing image recognition on the ingredient images.

[0087] Still further, the execution subject of the embodiment of the present invention can input the above-mentioned ingredient images into a preset image recognition model to obtain ingredient information such as ingredient names and ingredient shelf lives.

[0088] Optionally, when the execution subject of the embodiment of the present invention detects that a new ingredient is placed in the ingredient storage area, it can store the above-mentioned ingredient information (ingredient images, ingredient names, ingredient shelf lives, etc.) in a preset database and record the ingredient storage time of the ingredient.

[0089] Based on this, the execution subject of the embodiment of the present invention can directly obtain ingredient information such as ingredient images, ingredient storage times, ingredient names, and ingredient shelf lives of the ingredients in the ingredient storage area from the above-mentioned database.

[0090] Step 102: Determine the target dehydration information of the ingredient according to the ingredient information.

[0091] The above-mentioned target dehydration information is used to characterize whether the corresponding ingredient is prone to dehydration. In the case where the ingredient is prone to dehydration, the above-mentioned target dehydration information can include the ingredient dehydration level.

[0092] Optionally, the higher the above-mentioned ingredient dehydration level of the ingredient, the more prone it is to dehydration.

[0093] In one embodiment, the above-mentioned ingredient information can include ingredient images. Based on this, the execution subject of the embodiment of the present invention can perform image recognition on the ingredient images to obtain ingredient features. The ingredient features can be used to characterize the external features of the ingredient, such as the color, shape, size of the ingredient, and features such as whether it contains leaves, stems, etc.

[0094] After that, the execution subject of the embodiment of the present invention can pre-store the correspondence between the ingredient features and the ingredient types. Based on this, the target ingredient type corresponding to the ingredient features can be determined according to the correspondence between the ingredient features and the ingredient types. The above-mentioned ingredient types can include but are not limited to: leafy vegetables, tuberous vegetables, stem vegetables, legumes, and melons and fruits.

[0095] Finally, in practical applications, different types of ingredients may correspond to different dehydration information. The execution entity of the embodiment of the present invention may pre-store the correspondence between the ingredient type and the dehydration information. According to the correspondence between the ingredient type and the dehydration information, the target dehydration information corresponding to the target ingredient type can be determined. Here, the target dehydration information may refer to whether the ingredient is easy to dehydrate, and in the case where the ingredient is easy to dehydrate, the ingredient dehydration level of the ingredient.

[0096] For example, assume that the ingredient stored in the ingredient storage area of the refrigerator is Chinese cabbage. The execution entity of the embodiment of the present invention may perform image recognition on the image of the Chinese cabbage, and may determine that the ingredient feature of the ingredient is green leafy vegetables. Then, according to the correspondence between the ingredient feature and the ingredient type, the target ingredient type corresponding to the green leafy vegetables can be determined as leafy vegetables. Finally, according to the preset correspondence between the ingredient type and the dehydration information, the target dehydration information of the leafy vegetables can be determined as easy-to-dehydrate ingredients, and the ingredient dehydration level of the Chinese cabbage can be determined as level four according to the easy dehydration degree of the Chinese cabbage.

[0097] In another embodiment, the above-mentioned ingredient information may include an ingredient image. Based on this, the execution entity of the embodiment of the present invention may perform image recognition on the ingredient image to obtain a target dehydration feature. Here, the target dehydration feature may refer to the dehydration feature corresponding to the ingredient in the above-mentioned ingredient image. Different dehydration features may correspond to different dehydration information. For example, if the dehydration feature of the above-mentioned ingredient is green leafy vegetables with a high water content, then the ingredient is easy to dehydrate.

[0098] Based on this, the execution entity of the embodiment of the present invention may pre-store the correspondence between the dehydration feature and the dehydration information, and according to this correspondence, determine the target dehydration information corresponding to the target dehydration feature of the above-mentioned ingredient.

[0099] In yet another embodiment, the above-mentioned ingredient information may include an ingredient image and the ingredient storage time. Based on this, the execution entity of the embodiment of the present invention may perform image recognition on the ingredient image to obtain an ingredient feature. The ingredient feature may be used to characterize the external features of the ingredient, such as the color, shape, size of the ingredient, and features such as whether it contains leaves, stems, etc.

[0100] After that, the execution entity of the embodiment of the present invention may pre-store the correspondence between the ingredient feature and the ingredient type, and according to the correspondence between the above-mentioned ingredient feature and the ingredient type, determine the target ingredient type corresponding to the ingredient feature. The above-mentioned ingredient types may include but are not limited to: leafy vegetables, tuberous vegetables, stem vegetables, legumes, and melons and fruits.

[0101] In practical applications, for ingredients of different ingredient types, their dehydration features may change continuously with the storage duration of the ingredients. In this regard, the execution entity of the embodiment of the present invention may pre-store different dehydration curves corresponding to different ingredient types, and the dehydration curve represents the correspondence between the storage duration of the ingredient of this type and the dehydration feature.

[0102] Based on this, the execution entity of the embodiment of the present invention can search for the dehydration curve corresponding to the determined target ingredient type, and determine the storage duration of the ingredient according to the ingredient storage time included in the above ingredient information. Then, according to the storage duration, the current dehydration characteristics of the ingredient on the dehydration curve can be determined, and the current dehydration characteristics can be used as the target dehydration information.

[0103] Step 103: Determine the air outlet control strategy of the dehumidification device according to the humidity value, the target dehydration information, and the relative position relationship. The air outlet control strategy at least includes: the air volume control method.

[0104] Step 104: Use the air outlet control strategy to control the dehumidification device to dehumidify the ingredient storage area.

[0105] The following is a unified description of Step 103 and Step 104:

[0106] In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to avoid serious dehydration of the ingredients stored in the ingredient storage area of the refrigerator when dehumidifying the refrigerator when the humidity value in the refrigerator is high, the execution entity of the embodiment of the present invention can determine the air outlet control strategy of the dehumidification device according to the humidity value in the ingredient storage area of the refrigerator, the target dehydration information of the stored ingredients, and the relative position relationship between the ingredients and the upper air outlet of the dehumidification device in the refrigerator, so as to use the air outlet control strategy to control the dehumidification device in the refrigerator to dehumidify the ingredient storage area of the refrigerator.

[0107] Among them, the above air outlet control strategy can at least include the air volume control method, the air outlet orientation control method, etc., and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

[0108] As for how to determine the air outlet control strategy of the above dehumidification device according to the humidity value, the target dehydration information, and the relative position relationship, it can be described in the following through Figure 2 the shown process, and will not be elaborated here.

[0109] The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention obtains the humidity value of the food storage area in the refrigerator, as well as the food information of the food stored in the food storage area and the relative position relationship between the food and the air outlet. The target dehydration information of the food is determined according to the food information, and the air outlet control strategy of the dehumidification device is determined according to the humidity value, the target dehydration information and the relative position relationship. The air outlet control strategy at least includes the air volume control method. The dehumidification device is controlled to dehumidify the food storage area by using the air outlet control strategy. In this technical solution, when dehumidifying the refrigerator, the air outlet control strategy is determined according to the humidity value of the refrigerator, the target dehydration information of the food in the refrigerator, and the relative position relationship between the food and the air outlet of the dehumidification device, avoiding the dehydration of the food in the refrigerator when dehumidifying the food storage area in the refrigerator, realizing dehumidifying the refrigerator while avoiding the dehydration of the food in the refrigerator, and thus realizing more reasonable dehumidification of the refrigerator.

[0110] See Figure 2 , which is a flowchart of an embodiment of another refrigerator dehumidification control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The process shown Figure 1 On the basis of the process shown, it further describes how to determine the air outlet control strategy of the dehumidification device when the target dehydration information includes the dehydration level, the relative position relationship includes the relative distance, and the included angle between the air outlet direction and the connection direction between the air outlet and the food. As Figure 2 shown, the process may include the following steps:

[0111] Step 201, determine the reference air volume value corresponding to the humidity value.

[0112] The above reference air volume value refers to the air volume value corresponding to the humidity value when the dehumidification device dehumidifies the food storage area of the refrigerator.

[0113] Based on this, after obtaining the humidity value of the food storage area of the refrigerator, the execution subject of the embodiment of the present invention can determine the reference air volume value corresponding to the humidity value.

[0114] As a possible implementation manner, the execution subject of the embodiment of the present invention may pre-store the corresponding relationship between the humidity value and its reference air volume value. Based on this, the reference air volume value corresponding to the humidity value of the refrigerator can be determined by looking up this corresponding relationship.

[0115] It should be noted that in the above corresponding relationship, when the humidity value is less than the preset humidity threshold, it means that the current dehumidification condition is not satisfied in the refrigerator, and at this time, the reference air volume value corresponding to the humidity value is 0.

[0116] As another possible implementation, the execution subject of the embodiment of the present invention may input the above humidity value into a preset air volume value calculation formula to obtain a reference air volume value corresponding to the humidity value in the food storage area in the refrigerator.

[0117] Step 202: Calculate the reference distance value between the air outlet and the food according to the dehydration level.

[0118] In practical applications, when the dehumidification device in the refrigerator dehumidifies the refrigerator, the closer the air outlet of the dehumidification device is to the food, the more easily the food is affected by the air outlet and causes dehydration. Further, the higher the dehydration level of the food, the greater the influence of the air outlet on the food, and the more easily it dehydrates.

[0119] Based on this, the execution subject of the embodiment of the present invention may calculate the reference distance value between the air outlet and the food according to the dehydration level. When the relative distance between the food in the refrigerator and the air outlet is the above reference distance value, the food is not easily affected by the air outlet of the dehumidification device. It can be understood that different dehydration levels may correspond to different reference distance values. Optionally, the higher the dehydration level of the above food, the more easily it dehydrates, so the reference distance value between the food and the air outlet is larger.

[0120] In one embodiment, the reference distance value between the air outlet and the food may be obtained by inputting the determined dehydration level of the food into a preset reference distance value calculation formula.

[0121] Step 203: Compare the relative distance with the above reference distance value, and compare the included angle with a preset angle value. When the relative distance is less than the reference distance value and the included angle is less than the preset angle value, execute Step 204; when the relative distance is greater than or equal to the preset reference distance value, or, the included angle is greater than or equal to the preset angle value, execute Step 205; when the relative distance is greater than or equal to the preset reference distance value, and, the included angle is greater than or equal to the preset angle value, execute Step 206.

[0122] Step 204: Calculate the corresponding air volume reduction value according to the relative distance value and the included angle, and control the air volume of the air outlet by superimposing the air volume reduction value on the reference air volume value.

[0123] Step 205: Control the air volume of the air outlet according to the reference air volume value.

[0124] Step 206: Calculate the corresponding air volume increase value according to the relative distance value and the included angle, and control the air volume of the air outlet by superimposing the air volume increase value on the reference air volume value.

[0125] The following is a unified description of Steps 203 to 206:

[0126] The above relative distance may be the straight-line distance between the air outlet of the dehumidification device in the refrigerator and the food in the food storage area of the refrigerator.

[0127] The included angle may be the included angle between the air outlet direction of the dehumidifying device in the refrigerator and the direction of the line connecting the air outlet and the food.

[0128] In the embodiments of the present invention, in order to avoid the food in the food storage area of the refrigerator being severely dehydrated directly affected by the air outlet during the dehumidification of the refrigerator because the food is relatively close to the air outlet of the dehumidifying device in the refrigerator, the execution entity of the embodiments of the present invention can determine the air outlet control strategy in the dehumidifying device according to the relative position relationship between the food in the food storage area of the refrigerator and the air outlet.

[0129] Further, when the relative position relationship includes the relative distance, and the included angle between the air outlet direction and the direction of the line connecting the air outlet and the food, the air outlet control strategy of the dehumidifying device can be determined by comparing the relative distance with the above reference distance value and comparing the included angle with the preset angle value.

[0130] Specifically, reference can be made to Figure 3 , which is a schematic diagram of the relative position relationship between the food and the air outlet of the dehumidifying device provided by the embodiments of the present invention. As Figure 3 shown, the food storage area in the refrigerator can be divided into six areas, namely area A, area B, area C, area D, area E, and area F. It can be understood that the food storage area is divided according to the above reference distance value and preset angle value between the food and the air outlet. Then the solid line represents the above reference distance value, and the dashed line represents the above preset angle value.

[0131] Optionally, when the food is located in Figure 3 the shown area B, that is, when the relative distance is less than the reference distance value and the included angle is less than the preset angle value, if the air volume of the air outlet is directly controlled according to the above reference air volume value, it may cause the food to be severely dehydrated. Therefore, the corresponding air volume reduction value can be calculated according to the relative distance value and the above included angle, and the air volume of the air outlet of the dehumidifying device in the refrigerator can be controlled by adding the above air volume reduction value to the above reference air volume value. It can be understood that the air volume reduction value here is negative, and the value obtained by adding the above air volume reduction value to the above reference air volume value is less than the above reference air volume value.

[0132] Optionally, when calculating the above air volume reduction value according to the relative distance value and the included angle, the above relative distance value and the included angle can be input into a preset air volume calculation model to obtain the above air volume reduction value.

[0133] In addition, in order to avoid dehydration of the food caused by dehumidifying the food storage area in the refrigerator, the execution entity of the embodiments of the present invention can generate a prompt message for shifting the above food when the food is located in Figure 3 the shown area B, that is, when the relative distance is less than the reference distance value and the included angle is less than the preset angle value.

[0134] After that, it is possible to detect whether the above-mentioned food ingredients move. If the above-mentioned food ingredients are moved within the food ingredient storage area, the updated relative position relationship between the food ingredients and the air outlet is obtained again, and the air outlet control strategy in the dehumidification device is determined according to the updated relative position relationship.

[0135] Optionally, when the food ingredients are located in Figure 3 the shown Area A, Area C, or Area E, that is, when the relative distance is greater than or equal to the preset reference distance value, or the included angle is greater than or equal to the preset angle value, since the air outlet of the dehumidification device is far from the food ingredients or cannot directly blow the food ingredients in the above-mentioned areas, if the air volume of the air outlet is directly controlled according to the above-mentioned reference air volume value, the probability of serious dehydration of the food ingredients is small. Therefore, the air volume of the air outlet can be controlled according to the above-mentioned reference air volume value.

[0136] Optionally, when the food ingredients are located in Figure 3 the shown Area D or Area F, that is, when the relative distance is greater than or equal to the preset reference distance value, and the included angle is greater than or equal to the preset angle value, if the air volume of the air outlet is directly controlled according to the above-mentioned reference air volume value, the probability of dehydration of the food ingredients is very small.

[0137] At this time, in order to accelerate the dehumidification progress of the food ingredient storage area in the refrigerator, the air volume of the dehumidification device can be appropriately increased. Specifically, the corresponding air volume increment value can be calculated according to the relative distance value and the included angle, and the air volume of the air outlet is controlled by superimposing the air volume increment value on the reference air volume value. It can be understood that the air volume increment value here is a positive value, and the value obtained by superimposing the above-mentioned air volume increment value on the above-mentioned reference air volume value is greater than the above-mentioned reference air volume value.

[0138] Specifically, when calculating the above-mentioned air volume increment value according to the relative distance value and the included angle, the above-mentioned relative distance value and the included angle can be input into a preset air volume calculation model to obtain the above-mentioned air volume increment value.

[0139] In addition, the above-mentioned air outlet control strategy may include not only the air volume control method but also the air outlet orientation control method.

[0140] Based on this, when the food ingredients are located in Figure 3 the shown Area B, that is, when the above-mentioned relative distance is less than the reference distance value and the included angle is less than the preset angle value, the orientation of the air outlet can be controlled to avoid directly blowing the food ingredients and causing dehydration of the food ingredients. Specifically, the difference between the above-mentioned preset angle value and the included angle can be determined, and the air outlet orientation is adjusted in the opposite direction of the connection line between the air outlet and the food ingredients by the above-mentioned difference value, and the food ingredient storage area is dehumidified according to the current orientation of the air outlet.

[0141] The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention determines a reference air volume value corresponding to a humidity value, calculates a reference distance value between the air outlet and the food according to the dehydration level, determines the corresponding relationship between the relative distance and the above reference distance value, and the corresponding relationship between the included angle and the preset angle value. If the relative distance is less than the reference distance value and the included angle is less than the preset angle value, the corresponding air volume reduction value is calculated according to the relative distance value and the included angle, and the air volume of the air outlet is controlled by adding the air volume reduction value to the reference air volume value. If the relative distance is greater than or equal to the preset reference distance value, or the included angle is greater than or equal to the preset angle value, the air volume of the air outlet is controlled according to the reference air volume value. If the relative distance is greater than or equal to the preset reference distance value, and the included angle is greater than or equal to the preset angle value, the corresponding air volume increase value is calculated according to the relative distance value and the included angle, and the air volume of the air outlet is controlled by adding the air volume increase value to the reference air volume value. This technical solution further determines the air outlet control strategy according to two dimensions, namely, the relative distance between the food stored in the food storage area in the refrigerator and the air outlet of the dehumidification device, and the included angle between the air outlet orientation and the connection direction of the air outlet and the food, which can avoid dehydrating the food in the refrigerator when dehumidifying the food storage area in the refrigerator, realizing dehumidifying the refrigerator while avoiding dehydrating the food in the refrigerator, so as to realize more reasonable dehumidification of the refrigerator.

[0142] See Figure 4 , which is a flowchart of an embodiment of another refrigerator dehumidification control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 4 shown, the process may include the following steps:

[0143] Step 401, detect the humidity value inside the refrigerator and the situation of the stored food.

[0144] The above food situation may include whether the food is prone to dehydration.

[0145] As a possible implementation, the specific implementation of detecting the humidity value inside the refrigerator may include: collecting the humidity value inside the refrigerator through a humidity sensor provided inside the refrigerator.

[0146] The specific implementation of detecting the situation of the stored food may include: collecting pictures of the food by using an image acquisition device provided inside the refrigerator, and determining the category (prone to dehydration and not prone to dehydration) of the food by identifying the pictures.

[0147] Step 402, when the humidity value exceeds the first threshold and the stored food is not prone to dehydration, use the dehumidification fan provided inside the refrigerator to dehumidify the refrigerator.

[0148] The above dehumidification fan is used to dehumidify the inside of the refrigerator.

[0149] In one embodiment, when the humidity value exceeds the first threshold, it means that the humidity value inside the refrigerator is relatively high. When the stored food ingredients are not easily dehydrated, it means that the dehumidification process will not have a great impact on these ingredients. At this time, the dehumidification fan provided inside the refrigerator is directly used to dehumidify the refrigerator.

[0150] Optionally, when the humidity value exceeds the first threshold and the stored food ingredients are easily dehydrated, determine the relative position (including angle and distance) between the easily dehydrated food ingredients and the air outlet of the fan;

[0151] When the relative position meets the conditions (specifically including: the relative angle between the food ingredients and the air outlet is greater than the preset angle, or the relative angle between the food ingredients and the air outlet is less than the preset angle, but the distance between the food ingredients and the air outlet is greater than the preset distance), it means that the impact on the easily dehydrated food ingredients after the fan is turned on is relatively small. Use the dehumidification fan provided inside the refrigerator to dehumidify the refrigerator.

[0152] Optionally, when the relative position does not meet the conditions, it means that the impact on the easily dehydrated food ingredients after the fan is turned on is relatively large. Send a dehumidification reminder to remind the user to transfer the easily dehydrated food ingredients. After confirming the transfer of the easily dehydrated food ingredients, dehumidify the refrigerator.

[0153] Optionally, when the relative position does not meet the conditions, the adsorption dehumidification device can also be activated. Specifically, the adsorption dehumidification device is provided inside the refrigerator. Adsorption dehumidification materials such as activated carbon and calcium chloride are provided in the device. The device is in a closed state during the non-dehumidification stage and in an open state during the dehumidification stage, and the adsorption dehumidification materials therein are used for adsorption dehumidification.

[0154] Under the above conditions, the stored food ingredients are not easily dehydrated, which means that the dehumidification process will have a great impact on these ingredients. Therefore, remind the user to remove the dehydrated food ingredients from the refrigerator. After confirming the removal, dehumidify the refrigerator. In this way, the impact of the dehumidification process on the food ingredients can be avoided.

[0155] Optionally, determine the dehumidification gear of the fan according to the humidity range where the humidity value is located and the degree of dehydration of the food ingredients.

[0156] For example: (1) When the humidity is high and not easily dehydrated, the fan is in the high gear (fast wind speed) for dehumidification; (2) When the humidity is high and easily dehydrated, the fan is in the low gear (fast wind speed) for dehumidification, so as to reduce the impact on the freshness of the food.

[0157] Optionally, when the humidity value is greater than the second threshold (the second threshold is greater than the first threshold), it means that there are multiple water droplets inside the refrigerator. After the water droplets appear, it is difficult to achieve a good dehumidification effect by relying on automatic dehumidification. At this time, combine the camera inside the refrigerator to detect the position of the water droplets and send a reminder to the user (the reminder message includes the position of the water droplets) to remind the user to remove the water droplets.

[0158] The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention detects the humidity value inside the refrigerator and the situation of the stored food materials. When the humidity value exceeds the first threshold and the stored food materials are not easily dehydrated food materials, the dehumidifying fan provided inside the refrigerator is used to dehumidify the refrigerator. This technical solution determines the dehumidification strategy according to the humidity value inside the refrigerator and the situation of the food materials inside the refrigerator, avoiding the dehydration of the food materials inside the refrigerator when dehumidifying the storage area of the food materials inside the refrigerator, realizing the dehumidification of the refrigerator while avoiding the dehydration of the food materials inside the refrigerator, thereby realizing more reasonable dehumidification of the refrigerator.
