[0049] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can also refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0050] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the description of this invention, each functional module can be a physical module composed of multiple structures, components, or electronic devices, or a virtual module composed of multiple programs; each functional module can be an independent module or a module divided from a whole module according to its function. Those skilled in the art should understand that, provided the technical solution described in this invention can be implemented, any changes in the configuration, implementation, or positional relationship of the functional modules will not deviate from the technical principles of this invention, and therefore should all fall within the protection scope of this invention.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the human-computer interaction device 100 of the present invention is applicable to the auxiliary inspection of a refrigerator 200. Specifically, the human-computer interaction device 100 of the present invention can assist operators in inspecting defects in the refrigerator door, the display performance of the screen, the drawer pull-out effect, and whether the ice-making module's piping is leaking, etc. Those skilled in the art can add or remove items that the human-computer interaction device 100 assists operators in inspecting the refrigerator 200 as needed.

[0052] The refrigerator 200 being inspected is located on the conveyor line 300 so that it can be moved away by the conveyor line 300 after it has been inspected, and the human-machine interface device 100 assists the operator in inspecting the next refrigerator 200.

[0053] It should be noted that the human-computer interaction device 100 of the present invention can also be applied to the auxiliary detection of any other feasible device, such as an air conditioner, a washing machine, etc.

[0054] The following reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 This will be explained in detail regarding the structure and control method of the human-computer interaction device 100 in some embodiments of the present invention. Figure 2 These are schematic diagrams illustrating the configuration of human-computer interaction devices in some embodiments of the present invention. Figure 3 This is a flowchart of the main steps of the control method for a human-computer interaction device in some embodiments of the present invention.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the human-computer interaction device 100 includes a control module 110, an information output module 120, and a detection module 130. The control module 110 is communicatively connected to the information output module 120 and the detection module 130, respectively.

[0056] It should be noted that, in this invention, "communication connection" can refer to connecting two or more corresponding entities together via a conductor, or it can refer to connecting two or more corresponding entities together via wireless signals (such as WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, 4G, 5G, etc.).

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control module 110 is at least used to control other functional modules of the human-machine interface device 100 to perform corresponding operations. The control module 110 can be any feasible module, such as a CPU, a PID controller, a PLC controller, etc.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, the information output module 120 is used to output operation instructions, which may be sound, graphics, and / or text. The information output module 120 includes, but is not limited to, at least one of a display screen and a speaker. When the information output module 120 includes a display screen, the display screen is used to display text and / or graphics to output operation instructions in the form of the text and / or graphics. When the information output module 120 includes a speaker, the speaker is used to output sound to output operation instructions in the form of the sound.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, the detection module 130 is communicatively connected to the refrigerator 200; specifically, the detection module 130 is communicatively connected to the controller of the refrigerator 200. The detection module 130 determines the operating status of each functional component of the refrigerator 200 by receiving information from the controller of the refrigerator 200.

[0060] Of course, those skilled in the art can also, as needed, make the detection module 130 communicate only with the part of the refrigerator 200 to be detected. For example, when the refrigerator 200 needs to detect whether the refrigerator door opens and closes normally or whether the drawer pushes and pulls normally, the detection module 130 can communicate with the door switch sensor and drawer sensor on the refrigerator 200.

[0061] In addition, those skilled in the art can, as needed, make the detection module 130 include a camera module so that the detection module 130 can capture the posture changes of the components on the refrigerator 200 through the camera module, thereby determining whether the operator has performed the corresponding operation through the posture changes.

[0062] The following reference Figure 3 The control methods of the human-computer interaction device 100 in some embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the control method of the human-computer interaction device 100 includes:

[0064] Step S110 causes the control module 110 to output an operation command to the control information output module 120, so that the operator can operate the refrigerator 200 according to the operation command.

[0065] In step S120, the control module 110 controls the detection module 130 to detect whether the operator has performed the corresponding operation on the refrigerator 200.

[0066] Specifically, the detection module 130 is made communicatively connected to the controller of the refrigerator 200. If the detection module 130 receives the target information fed back by the controller of the refrigerator 200, it determines that the operator has performed the corresponding operation on the refrigerator 200. If the detection module 130 does not receive the target information fed back by the controller of the refrigerator 200, it determines that the operator has not performed the corresponding operation on the refrigerator 200.

[0067] The target information corresponds to the operation instructions output by the information output module 120.

[0068] In step S130, in response to detecting that the operator has performed the corresponding operation, the control module 110 control information output module 120 outputs the operation command again.

[0069] Specifically, when the operator performs the corresponding operation on the refrigerator 200, the control module 110 and the control information output module 120 output the operation command again.

[0070] Those skilled in the art will understand that, because the components or functions to be tested by the refrigerator 200 are usually different each time, the operation commands output by the information output module 120 are different each time. Examples are given below:

[0071] The refrigerator 200 requires manual inspection for the following items: whether the display screen is functioning correctly, whether the refrigerator door opens and closes properly, and whether the drawers slide open and close properly. Assuming the inspection order for these three items is: whether the display screen is functioning correctly, whether the refrigerator door opens and closes properly, and whether the drawers slide open and close properly, then the control method for the human-machine interface device 100 is as follows:

[0072] First, the control module 110 and control information output module 120 output a first operation command, which includes information indicating "checking whether the display screen is displaying normally". This allows the operator to check whether the display screen is displaying normally according to the first operation command.

[0073] During the operator's inspection of the display screen to ensure it is functioning correctly, the refrigerator 200's controller will control the display screen to show the corresponding content. After detecting the controller's instruction to control the display screen, the detection module 130 determines that the operator has completed the display screen inspection.

[0074] Then, the control module 110 controls the information output module 120 to output a second operation command, which includes information indicating "checking whether the refrigerator door opens and closes normally". This allows the operator to check whether the refrigerator door opens and closes normally according to the second operation command.

[0075] During the operator's inspection of the refrigerator door's opening and closing mechanism, opening the door triggers the door switch sensor on the refrigerator, which detects door opening and closing. When this sensor is triggered, it sends corresponding information to the refrigerator 200's controller. Once the detection module 130 detects that the controller has received this information, it determines that the operator has completed the refrigerator door inspection.

[0076] Finally, the control module 110 and control information output module 120 output a third operation instruction, which includes information indicating "checking whether the drawer's push-pull mechanism is functioning correctly." This allows the operator to check whether the drawer's push-pull mechanism is functioning correctly based on the third operation instruction.

[0077] During the operator's check of whether the drawer's push and pull functions are normal, the pulled drawer will trigger the drawer sensor on the refrigerator 200. When the drawer sensor is triggered, it sends corresponding information to the controller of the refrigerator 200. When the detection module 130 detects that the controller has received this information, it determines that the operator has completed the drawer check.

[0078] Based on the foregoing description, those skilled in the art will understand that in some embodiments of the present invention, the control information output module 120 outputs operation instructions, enabling the operator to operate the refrigerator 200 according to the operation instructions, thus avoiding situations where the operator misses any functional modules or functions of the refrigerator 200. The control detection module 130 detects whether the operator has performed the corresponding operation on the refrigerator 200, enabling the human-machine interface device 100 of the present invention to check the operator's operation results, avoiding operator errors or improper operation, thereby ensuring the quality and appearance of the refrigerator 200. After detecting that the operator has performed the corresponding operation, the control information output module 120 outputs operation instructions again, enabling the human-machine interface device 100 of the present invention to provide the operator with a series of operation instructions, thereby ensuring that all functional components and functions of each refrigerator 200 are detected.

[0079] The following reference Figure 4 The following provides a detailed description of the configuration and control method of the human-computer interaction device 100 in other embodiments of the present invention.

[0080] It should be noted beforehand that, for ease of description and to enable those skilled in the art to quickly understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the following description will only detail the differences between some embodiments and the foregoing embodiments. Similarities between the other embodiments and the foregoing embodiments can be found above.

[0081] like Figure 4 As shown, in some other embodiments of the present invention, the human-computer interaction device 100 further includes a model reading module 140, which is communicatively connected to the control module 110. The model reading module 140 is used to read the model information of the refrigerator 200.

[0082] In other embodiments of the present invention, the model reading module 140 can be any feasible module, such as a scanning device, a camera device, an RFID receiver, etc. Accordingly, the refrigerator 200 is provided with components that can be read by the model reading module 140. For example, when the model reading module 140 is a scanning device and / or a camera device, the refrigerator 200 is provided with a graphic code (e.g., a one-dimensional barcode and a QR code). When the model reading module 140 is an RFID reader / writer, the refrigerator 200 is provided with an RFID card.

[0083] Furthermore, in some other embodiments of the present invention, the control method of the human-computer interaction device 100 further includes a step prior to step S110: causing the control module 110 to control the model reading module 140 to read the model information of the refrigerator 200, so as to determine a set of operation instructions based on the model information of the refrigerator 200, and then causing the information output module 120 to output each operation instruction in the set of operation instructions sequentially.

[0084] Preferably, the control module 110, or a storage module or server communicatively connected to the control module 110, stores multiple model information entries, and each model information entry corresponds to a set of operation instructions. When the model reading module 140 reads the model information of the refrigerator 200, the control module 110 matches the model information read by the model reading module 140 with the stored multiple model information entries. Then, based on the matching result, it determines a unique model information entry and a set of operation instructions.

[0085] Although not shown in the figure, the model reading module 140 is preferably set on one side of the conveyor line 300. When the refrigerator 200 moves with the conveyor line 300 to a position aligned with the model reading module 140, the model reading module 140 reads the model information of the refrigerator 200.

[0086] Based on the foregoing description, those skilled in the art will understand that in other embodiments of the present invention, the model reading module 140 reads the model information of the refrigerator 200, and then the information output module 120 outputs different operation instructions according to different model information, so that the human-computer interaction device 100 of the present invention can adjust the output operation instructions according to the model of the refrigerator 200, thereby ensuring that each model of refrigerator 200 can be quickly and accurately tested by the operator.

[0087] The following reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The following provides a detailed description of the configuration and control method of the human-computer interaction device 100 in some embodiments of the present invention. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the configuration of the human-computer interaction device 100 in some embodiments of the present invention. Figure 6 This is a flowchart of some steps of the control method of the human-computer interaction device 100 in some embodiments of the present invention.

[0088] It should be noted beforehand that, for ease of description and to enable those skilled in the art to quickly understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the following description will only detail the differences between some embodiments and some or other embodiments described above. Similarities between some embodiments and some of the foregoing embodiments can be found above.

[0089] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the human-computer interaction device 100 further includes an indication module 150 and an image acquisition module 160. The indication module 150 and the image acquisition module 160 are respectively communicatively connected to the control module 110.

[0090] The indicator module 150 is configured to emit a light beam, which is directed onto the area of ​​the refrigerator 200 to be operated, allowing the operator to quickly locate that area. This area is the part that requires operation or inspection by the operator, such as the refrigerator 200's display screen, door, or rear panel.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present invention, the indicating module 150 is preferably a laser module, so that the light beam emitted by the indicating module 150 is a laser beam. Those skilled in the art will understand that, compared to a regular light beam, a laser beam is less prone to divergence and is more easily projected onto a single point, which is beneficial for locating small parts to be operated on. Furthermore, those skilled in the art can also, as needed, configure the indicating module 150 as any other feasible light-emitting module, such as a spotlight.

[0092] More preferably, there are multiple indicator modules 150. These multiple indicator modules 150 are distributed such that at least one indicator module 150 can direct the light beam to the part of the refrigerator 200 to be operated. This avoids the situation where a single indicator module 150 is blocked by other parts of the refrigerator 200 (such as the side wall or partition of the refrigerator 200), thus preventing it from directing the light beam to the part of the refrigerator 200 to be operated.

[0093] Optionally, the plurality of indicator modules 150 are distributed at intervals on the side of the human-computer interaction device 100 facing the refrigerator 200.

[0094] The image acquisition module 160 is used to acquire images of the refrigerator 200. Preferably, the human-computer interaction device 100 includes multiple image acquisition modules 160, so that at least one of the multiple image acquisition modules 160 can capture images of the operable parts of the refrigerator 200. Optionally, the multiple image acquisition modules 160 are distributed at intervals on the side of the human-computer interaction device 100 facing the refrigerator 200.

[0095] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the image acquisition module 160 can be any feasible module, such as a camera, camcorder, or video camera.

[0096] like Figure 6 As shown, in some other embodiments of the present invention, the control method of the human-computer interaction device 100 further includes:

[0097] Step S310: The control module 110 controls the image acquisition module 160 to acquire images of the refrigerator 200.

[0098] Step S310 can be performed before or after step S110, or step S310 can be performed simultaneously with step S110.

[0099] Preferably, the control module 110 controls each image acquisition module 160 to acquire images of the refrigerator 200.

[0100] Step S320, located between steps S110 and S120, enables the control module 110 to determine the position of the part to be operated from the image.

[0101] Step S320 further includes:

[0102] Step S321: The control module 110 acquires all the images and detects whether there is a part to be operated in each image acquired by the image acquisition module 160, so that the control module 110 determines that there is at least one image with a part to be operated.

[0103] Step S322: The control module 110 determines the location of the part to be operated from the at least one image.

[0104] Specifically, the control module 110 randomly selects an image containing the part to be operated on, and then determines the position of the part to be operated on from that image.

[0105] In step S330, which is located between step S110 and step S120, the control module 110 controls the indicator module 150 to direct the beam of light onto the part of the refrigerator 200 to be operated, based on the position of the part to be operated in the image.

[0106] Specifically, the control module 110 determines the world coordinates of the part to be operated on the refrigerator 200 based on the position of the part to be operated in the image and the world coordinates, image coordinate system, and camera coordinate system of the corresponding image acquisition module 160. Then, the control module 110 determines the positional relationship between the indicator module 150 and the part to be operated based on the world coordinates of the indicator module 150 and the part to be operated. Finally, the control module 110 controls the corresponding indicator module 150 to project a light beam onto the part to be operated on the refrigerator 200 based on this positional relationship.

[0107] Based on the foregoing description, those skilled in the art will understand that in some embodiments of the present invention, the indicator module 150 directs the light beam to the part of the refrigerator 200 to be operated, thereby guiding the operator to find the part to be operated, so that the operator, especially the less experienced operator, can quickly find the part to be operated and inspect it.

[0108] Furthermore, in some other embodiments of the present invention, the human-computer interaction device 100 may also include a storage module communicatively connected to the control module 110. This storage module stores execution instructions configured to enable the human-computer interaction device 100 to perform the control method described in any of the foregoing embodiments when executed by the control module 110.

[0109] The memory stores execution instructions, specifically executable computer programs. Further, the memory may include main memory and non-volatile memory, providing execution instructions and data to the processor. For example, main memory may be high-speed random-access memory (RAM), and non-volatile memory may be at least one disk storage device.

[0110] The technical solutions of the present invention have been described in conjunction with several embodiments above. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can disassemble and combine the technical solutions in the above embodiments, and can also make equivalent changes or substitutions to related technical features. Any changes, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the technical concept and / or technical principles of the present invention will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
