[0057] It can be understood that, regarding the structure of the above-mentioned controller, the processor 110 and the memory 120 as shown in Figure 1 may be included.

[0058] Those skilled in the art can understand that the above-described structure does not constitute a limitation on the mobile refrigerator, and can include more or fewer components than the illustration, or combine certain components, or different component arrangements.

[0059] Based on the above-mentioned system architecture platform 100 and the hardware structure of the mobile refrigerator, various embodiments of the refrigeration control method of the mobile refrigerator of the present application are proposed.

[0060] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a flowchart of the refrigeration control method of the mobile refrigerator provided by an embodiment of the present application. Wherein, the refrigeration control method can be applied to the above-mentioned mobile refrigerator, including but not limited to steps S100 and S200.

[0061] Step S100, acquiring a first current state of the moving mechanism;

[0062] Step S200, controlling the working state of the compressor according to the first current state.

[0063] In one embodiment, for controlling the compressor in the portable refrigerator, firstly, the first current state of the moving mechanism can be detected. Since different states of the moving mechanism correspond to different compressor control logic, this embodiment can control the working state of the compressor based on the first current state of the moving mechanism, thereby enabling the selection of a more reasonable and energy-efficient compressor control logic based on the current state of the moving mechanism.

[0064] It should be noted that the first current state of the aforementioned mobile mechanism can be a mobile cruising state, a state of being stationary at a target setting location, a state of being stationary at a charging station location for charging, a low battery state, or other states. This application embodiment does not specifically limit the type of the first current state of the mobile mechanism.

[0065] In addition, it should be noted that the operating state of the compressor mentioned above can be a running state, a shut-off state, a low-frequency operating state, a high-frequency operating state, or other states. This application embodiment does not specifically limit the type of operating state of the compressor.

[0066] Since the mobile mechanism can exist in various states, such as moving, stationary, or charging, this application embodiment clarifies the coordination relationship between the various states of the mobile refrigerator and the refrigeration control. It can control the compressor according to the current state of the mobile mechanism, which is different from the previous single logic control method of the compressor starting and stopping only according to the internal temperature. This allows for more reasonable control of the compressor's working state, reduces the compressor's energy consumption, and thus improves the mobile refrigerator's endurance.

[0067] In addition, such as Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is a flowchart of a refrigeration control method for a portable refrigerator provided in another embodiment of this application. The step S200 above, which controls the compressor's operating state based on a first current state, may include, but is not limited to, steps S310 and S320.

[0068] Step S310: When the moving mechanism is currently in a moving state;

[0069] Step S320: Control the compressor to stop working.

[0070] In one embodiment, when the first current state of the mobile mechanism is detected to be the mobile state, it indicates that the mobile mechanism has left the charging pile and can no longer continue to charge. Therefore, the total battery power of the mobile mechanism and the housing is limited at this time. If the compressor is still controlled to work during the mobile cruise, it will consume a lot of battery power. Therefore, in this embodiment, the compressor is controlled to be in the shutdown state during the mobile mechanism's movement.

[0071] It should be noted that, in order to avoid the temperature in the box body from dropping sharply due to the shutdown of the compressor during the movement of the moving mechanism, the embodiment of the present application needs to keep the box door mechanism closed during the movement of the moving mechanism, so that the box body is in a heat preservation state.

[0072] In addition, as shown in Figure 6 , Figure 6 is a flowchart of a refrigeration control method of a mobile refrigerator provided by another embodiment of the present application. Regarding the control of the working state of the compressor according to the first current state in step S200, it can include but is not limited to steps S410 and S420.

[0073] Step S410, acquiring a second current state of the moving mechanism when the moving mechanism is currently in a stationary state and is located at a target moving position.

[0074] Step S420, controlling the working state of the compressor according to the second current state.

[0075] In an embodiment, when it is detected that the first current state of the moving mechanism is stationary at the target moving position, it indicates that the current moving mechanism has left the charging pile and cannot continue to charge, and it indicates that the moving mechanism has reached the position desired by the user. Since the user will usually open the box door mechanism and take out or put in food after the moving mechanism reaches the target moving position, the temperature in the box body will drop during the opening of the box door mechanism. Therefore, at this time, the embodiment of the present application can acquire the second current state of the moving mechanism, such as the state of the box door mechanism, and control the compressor based on the second current state of the moving mechanism.

[0076] It should be noted that, regarding the above-mentioned target moving position, it can be set by the user, for example, the user can set the target moving position as beside the sofa in the living room, or set the target moving position as the kitchen, or set the target moving position as other position areas, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the setting area of the target moving position.

[0077] In addition, it should be noted that, regarding the number of the above-mentioned target moving positions, it can be one, two or more, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the number of the target moving positions. For example, when the number of the target moving positions is two, the user can set the moving mechanism to move to beside the sofa in the living room first, and then move to the kitchen after a period of time.

[0078] It should be noted that, regarding the control of the working state of the compressor according to the second current state in step S420, it can include but is not limited to Figure 7 or Figure 8Two implementation cases in the above-mentioned two implementation cases are as follows, respectively.

[0079] As shown in Figure 7 , Figure 7 is a flow chart of a refrigeration control method of a mobile refrigerator provided by another embodiment of the present application. In relation to the above-mentioned step S420, it can include but is not limited to step S511 and step S512.

[0080] Step S511, when the movement mechanism is currently in a movement state or an open state;

[0081] Step S512, control the compressor to stop working;

[0082] As shown in Figure 8 , Figure 8 is a flow chart of a refrigeration control method of a mobile refrigerator provided by another embodiment of the present application. In relation to the above-mentioned step S420, it can include but is not limited to step S521 and step S522.

[0083] Step S521, when the movement mechanism is currently in a closed state;

[0084] Step S522, control the working state of the compressor according to the received temperature in the box.

[0085] In an embodiment, in relation to the above-mentioned movement mechanism, it can include a box door mechanism, or it can include a box door mechanism and a tray mechanism, wherein the box door mechanism is used for accessing food, and the tray mechanism is used for carrying food.

[0086] It is worth noting that, in relation to the above-mentioned second current state of the movement mechanism, it can be an open state, or it can be a closed state, or it can be a movement state in the process of opening, or it can be a movement state in the process of closing.

[0087] Specifically, when the movement mechanism is a box door mechanism, the second current state of the movement mechanism can be a box door open state, or a box door closed state, or a box door movement state. When the movement mechanism includes a box door mechanism and a tray mechanism, the box door mechanism and the tray mechanism can be linked to move synchronously, for example, when the tray mechanism rises or rotates, the box door mechanism will be opened synchronously; when the tray mechanism descends or rotates, the box door mechanism will be closed synchronously.

[0088] In an embodiment, if the movement mechanism is stationary at the target movement position and the movement mechanism is in motion or has been opened, it indicates that the box door mechanism has failed to be completely closed, thereby causing the temperature inside the box to drop, and therefore, even if the compressor continues to be turned on for refrigeration, it will only waste more power. Therefore, if the movement mechanism is stationary at the target movement position and the movement mechanism is in motion or has been opened, the compressor needs to be turned off in the embodiment of the present application.

[0089] In addition, in an embodiment, if the moving mechanism is stationary at the target moving position and the motion mechanism has been closed, it indicates that the cabinet is in a heat preservation state, and the temperature inside the cabinet is not easy to drop, so opening the compressor to carry out refrigeration according to the temperature inside the cabinet at this time can achieve better refrigeration effect, therefore, if the moving mechanism is stationary at the target moving position and the motion mechanism has been closed, the embodiment of the present application can control the compressor to be opened or stopped according to the received temperature inside the cabinet.

[0090] In addition, as shown in Figure 9 , Figure 9 is a flowchart of a refrigeration control method of a mobile refrigerator provided by another embodiment of the present application. Regarding the control of the working state of the compressor according to the first current state in step S200, it can include but is not limited to step S610 and step S620.

[0091] Step S610, when the moving mechanism is currently in a stationary state and is located at the position where the charging pile is located;

[0092] Step S620, controlling the working state of the compressor according to the received temperature inside the cabinet.

[0093] In an embodiment, when it is detected that the first current state of the moving mechanism is stationary at the position where the charging pile is located, it indicates that the current moving mechanism has been in electrical contact with the charging pile and has been charged, at this time, there is no need to worry about the endurance of the mobile refrigerator, therefore, when the moving mechanism is charging, the embodiment of the present application can control the compressor to be opened or stopped according to the temperature inside the cabinet.

[0094] In addition, as shown in Figure 10 , Figure 10 is a flowchart of a refrigeration control method of a mobile refrigerator provided by another embodiment of the present application. Regarding the control of the working state of the compressor according to the first current state in step S200, it can include but is not limited to step S710 and step S720.

[0095] Step S710, when the moving mechanism leaves the position where the charging pile is located, obtaining the battery power of the cabinet and the moving mechanism;

[0096] Step S720, in the case that the battery power is lower than the preset power, controlling the compressor to stop working, and controlling the moving mechanism to return to the position where the charging pile is located.

[0097] In an embodiment, when the first current state of the moving mechanism is detected to be away from the location where the charging pile is located, it indicates that the current moving mechanism cannot continue to keep charging, so the total battery capacity of the moving mechanism and the box body is limited at this time, therefore, in order to avoid that the moving refrigerator cannot return to the location where the charging pile is located due to low power, the application embodiment detects the battery capacity, if the battery capacity is less than the preset power, the compressor is turned off to save power, and the moving mechanism is controlled to return to the charging pile for charging.

[0098] It can be understood that, regarding the above-mentioned preset power, it can be preset by the user, can be set according to the moving distance between the current location and the charging pile location, or can be set according to the energy consumption of the devices in the refrigerator, and the application embodiment does not make specific limitation on the setting method of the preset power.

[0099] It should be noted that, regarding the control of the working state of the compressor according to the received temperature in the box in the above-mentioned step S522 and step S620, it can include but is not limited to two implementation cases of Figure 11 or Figure 12 , which are specifically as follows:

[0100] As shown in Figure 11 , Figure 11 is a flow chart of the refrigeration control method of the moving refrigerator provided by another embodiment of the application. Regarding the control of the working state of the compressor according to the received temperature in the box in the above-mentioned step S522 and step S620, it can include but is not limited to steps S811 and S812.

[0106] In an embodiment, the control logic about controlling the working state of the compressor based on the temperature in the box includes the following: if the temperature in the box is greater than the preset temperature, it indicates that the temperature in the box cannot meet the user's demand, so the compressor needs to be started to refrigerate at this time; if the temperature in the box is less than or equal to the preset temperature, it indicates that the temperature in the box has reached the user's demand, so the compressor does not need to be started to refrigerate at this time.

[0107] It can be understood that the preset temperature described above can be set by the user in advance or by other means, and the application embodiment does not make specific limitations on the setting method of the preset temperature.

[0109] In an embodiment, when the mobile refrigerator is moving or cruising, the refrigeration system of the box part does not work, that is, it does not have refrigeration capacity, and the box part is in a heat preservation state; when the mobile refrigerator reaches the predetermined point, the refrigeration system of the box part can work for a short time or intermittently to prevent the temperature in the box from falling too fast; when the mobile refrigerator is at the charging pile position, the refrigeration system of the box part can work.

[0110] Specifically, the condition for starting the work of the refrigeration system of the box part is that the moving mechanism is in a non-moving state and the temperature is higher than a certain set threshold; in addition, the condition for the refrigeration system of the box part not to work is that the moving mechanism is in a moving state or the temperature is lower than a certain set threshold.
