Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of refrigerator technology, and in particular to odor data processing methods, devices, electronic devices, and storage media. Background Technology

[0002] As consumers pay more attention to health, the use of refrigerators for food storage is becoming more and more common. In addition, more and more deodorizing and sterilizing technologies are being applied to refrigerators to deodorize and sterilize food stored in the refrigerator when it produces odors due to rotting or spoilage.

[0003] In related technologies, strong oxidizing substances are usually used to remove and sterilize the reducing odors generated inside the refrigerator. However, since strong oxidizing substances not only reduce the concentration of odors, they also affect the original odor inside the refrigerator. As a result, the odor data displayed after odor removal and sterilization covers both the odor treatment itself and the odor treatment effect, and is not the actual odor data inside the refrigerator after odor removal and sterilization. Therefore, the accuracy and reliability of refrigerator odor removal and sterilization are not high. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in related technologies. To this end, this invention proposes an odor data processing method, which determines the target odor data of the refrigerator in the food storage mode by using images of different odor changes of a refrigerator in the same working state in empty mode and food storage mode. This ensures that the odor data displayed after odor removal and sterilization is the actual odor data inside the refrigerator after odor removal and sterilization, thereby significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of odor removal and sterilization in the refrigerator.

Since the current odor change image represents the change of different odor data obtained by purifying the odor in the refrigerator with a preset purification substance, and the preset odor change image represents the influence of the preset purification substance on the odor in the refrigerator, the target odor data of the refrigerator in the food storage mode is determined by the different odor change images of the refrigerator in the empty mode and the food storage mode under the same working state.

[0030] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the refrigerator is electrically connected to the odor sensor and the purification device respectively through the main control system, and the odor sensor and the purification device are both set in the refrigerator compartment of the refrigerator body. This achieves the purpose of the purification device starting and releasing preset purification substances under the control of the main control system, and the main control system executing the odor data processing method when the odor sensor detects an odor in the refrigerator, thereby greatly improving the accuracy and reliability of the refrigerator in odor removal and sterilization.

[0031] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the odor sensor is disposed on the return air vent, air duct, or internal side wall of the refrigerator compartment of the cabinet.

Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0053] The following is combined with Figures 1-5 This invention describes an odor data processing method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium. The odor data processing method is executed by a main control system built into a refrigerator. This main control system has at least data acquisition, data storage, control, data processing, information interaction, and information display functions. The refrigerator may also have a built-in odor sensor. The following method embodiments use the refrigerator's built-in main control system as an example for illustration.

[0054] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the odor data processing method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the odor data processing method includes the following steps:

[0055] Step 110: Determine the current odor change image corresponding to the current working parameter information when running in food storage mode. The current odor change image represents the changes in different odor data obtained by purifying the odor inside the box using preset purification substances.

[0056] Among them, the food storage mode can be the mode in which food is stored under the usage scenario of the refrigerator; the current working parameter information can be the current temperature, current humidity and current indication information of whether the refrigeration system is on in the refrigerator. The current temperature, current humidity and current indication information can also represent the current working status of the refrigerator. The refrigerator can be the refrigerator compartment; the preset purification substance can be the substance released by the built-in purification device of the refrigerator. The preset purification substance can be a substance that removes odor and bacteria, such as at least one of plasma, negative ions, water ions, ultraviolet rays and ozone; the odor can be the smell produced by the food stored in the refrigerator due to spoilage or rot, and the odor can be a reducing odor such as sulfur and amine, such as trimethylamine, methanethiol and ethanol.

[0057] Specifically, when the refrigerator is put into use, the main control system can identify the stored food according to the food storage mode, and automatically match appropriate temperature, humidity, and whether the refrigeration system is on or off based on the type and characteristics of the stored food. It can also control and adjust the temperature, humidity, and refrigeration system's operation within the refrigerator. Alternatively, the user can manually set the temperature and humidity, and manually turn the refrigeration system on or off, based on the characteristics of the stored food, thus determining the current operating parameters for the food storage mode. Based on this, when the main control system operates with the current operating parameters in food storage mode and uses preset purifying substances to remove odors, it can record the changes in different odor data obtained from purifying the refrigerator with the preset purifying substances in real time and create a current odor change image. Furthermore, the current odor change image can be a curve showing the changes in different odor data obtained from purifying the refrigerator with preset purifying substances over time under the food storage mode and current operating parameters; the odor data can be the concentration values ​​of the odors.

[0058] Step 120: Obtain a preset odor change image that matches the current working parameter information under no-load mode. The preset odor change image represents the influence of preset purification substances on the odor inside the chamber.

[0059] The empty mode is a mode in which there is no food stored in the box and the air is clean.

[0060] Specifically, when the refrigerator is not in use, although there are no reducing odors such as sulfur or amines inside, it contains its own odor. This odor can be the smell of the refrigerator's materials or a mixture of the materials and the air. Since the preset purifying substances inside the refrigerator also affect the non-odorous odors when they clean and sterilize, to ensure that the odor data displayed after cleansing and sterilization is accurate, a preset odor change image matching the current operating parameters can be obtained for the refrigerator in no-load mode. This image can be obtained by the user inputting it into the refrigerator, either manually on the refrigerator itself or through an application on a connected device; it can also be obtained from the refrigerator's manual. The specific method for obtaining the preset odor change image is not limited here.

[0061] Step 130: Based on the current odor change image and the preset odor change image, determine the target odor data of the refrigerator in the food storage mode.

[0062] Among them, the target odor data can be the actual odor data inside the box after odor removal and sterilization, and the target odor data can truly reflect the actual odor state inside the box after odor removal and sterilization.

[0063] Specifically, the main control system can use the preset odor change image to correct the current odor change image, for example, by subtracting the preset odor change image from the current odor change image, the influence of the preset purification substance on the odor inside the refrigerator can be removed from the current odor change image, thereby ensuring that the odor data displayed after odor removal and sterilization in actual use of the refrigerator is the actual odor data inside the refrigerator after odor removal and sterilization.

[0064] It is understandable that when food is inside the refrigerator and the air purification device is on, the odor data from the odor sensor will decrease. This decrease is due to two factors: firstly, the actual odor state inside the refrigerator changes, from poor air quality to fresh air quality; secondly, the preset purifying substances released by the air purification device affect the odor sensor, causing the odor data to drop. For example, refer to... Figure 2 When the purification device is not turned on, curve a can be plotted showing the change of different odor data over time. The impact of ozone as the preset purification substance on the odor inside the refrigerator can be tested and plotted as curve b under clean conditions inside the refrigerator. Curve c shows the actual odor data changed over time after correction of curve a using curve b. Curve d shows the change of different odor data over time when the purification device is turned on. Figure 2It is understandable that by pre-collecting and storing the impact of preset purification substances on the odor inside the refrigerator under different working parameters in no-load mode, and drawing different preset odor change images, the basic data collected by the refrigerator can eliminate this rigidity when the refrigerator is put into actual use, thereby obtaining the real odor data inside the refrigerator.

[0065] The odor data processing method provided in this invention determines the current odor change image corresponding to the current operating parameter information when the refrigerator is in use, and obtains a preset odor change image matching the current operating parameter information in the empty mode. Since the current odor change image represents the change of different odor data obtained by purifying the odor inside the refrigerator with preset purification substances, and the preset odor change image represents the influence of preset purification substances on the odor inside the refrigerator, the target odor data of the refrigerator in the food storage mode is determined by using different odor change images of the refrigerator in the empty mode and the food storage mode under the same operating state. This ensures that the odor data displayed after odor removal and sterilization is the actual odor data inside the refrigerator after odor removal and sterilization, thereby greatly improving the accuracy and reliability of the refrigerator in odor removal and sterilization.

[0066] Understandably, considering that whether the deodorizing and sterilizing mode is activated in the refrigerator is related to the concentration of odors produced by the stored food, it is possible to first determine whether to activate the purification device based on the current odor status information inside the refrigerator, and then acquire images of odor changes during the deodorizing and sterilizing process. Based on this, the specific implementation process of step 110 may include:

[0067] First, determine that the box is in food storage mode, and obtain the current odor status information and current operating parameter information inside the box; then, based on the current odor status information, determine the purification impact treatment strategy of using preset purification substances to remove odors; then, based on the purification impact treatment strategy, determine the current odor change image corresponding to the current operating parameter information when running in food storage mode.

[0068] Specifically, when the refrigerator is put into use, the main control system can acquire the concentration value of the odor inside the refrigerator in real time or periodically. For example, it can acquire the concentration value of the odor inside the refrigerator sent by the odor sensor in real time or periodically. Based on the acquired concentration value and the preset concentration threshold, it can determine whether the odor inside the refrigerator is fresh. When it is determined that the current concentration value of the odor inside the refrigerator exceeds the preset concentration threshold, the current odor status information corresponding to the current concentration value is determined. That is, when the current odor status information is that there is a slight odor or a strong odor, the current operating parameter information can be acquired based on the current odor status information, and the purification impact treatment strategy can be determined based on the purification impact treatment strategy, so as to determine the current odor change image corresponding to the current operating parameter information when running in food storage mode.

[0069] Understandably, in order to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the current odor status information, different odor status information corresponding to different concentration ranges of odor in the box can be stored in the main control system in advance. For example, 0-100ppm is a fresh odor and the grade is excellent, 100-500ppm is a slight odor and the grade is good, and above 500ppm is a strong odor and the grade is poor. Thus, the current odor status information can be quickly matched based on the currently acquired concentration value.

[0070] The odor data processing method provided in this embodiment of the invention improves the targeting of odor removal and sterilization for odors in the box and also improves the reliability of obtaining the current odor change image by first acquiring the current odor state information and current working parameter information for the food storage mode, then determining the purification impact treatment strategy based on the current odor state information, and finally determining the current odor change image corresponding to the current working parameter information for running in the food storage mode based on the purification impact treatment strategy.

[0071] Understandably, when a refrigerator has a built-in odor sensor, the main control system can obtain the current odor status information inside the refrigerator through the sensor. Based on this, it determines that the refrigerator is in food storage mode and obtains the current odor status information. The implementation process may include:

[0072] First, the system determines that the box is in food storage mode and sends an odor status acquisition command to the odor sensor; then it receives the current odor status information inside the box from the odor sensor.

[0073] Specifically, when the refrigerator has a built-in odor sensor with data storage and odor detection capabilities, the main control system can send odor status acquisition commands to the odor sensor in real-time or periodically, depending on the food storage mode. This allows the odor sensor to feed back the corresponding current odor status information to the main control system when it detects an odor inside the refrigerator. Alternatively, the main control system can first receive the odor concentration value inside the refrigerator from the odor sensor in real-time or periodically, and only send the odor status acquisition command to the odor sensor when the concentration value exceeds a preset concentration threshold. No specific limitations are specified here.

[0074] Understandably, for different food storage modes in a refrigerator, the information on different odor states corresponding to different concentration ranges inside the refrigerator can be stored not only in the main control system but also in the odor sensor. For example, the odor sensor could store information such as 0-100 ppm as a fresh odor (excellent grade), 100-500 ppm as a slight odor (good grade), and above 500 ppm as a strong odor (poor grade). This allows the odor sensor to determine the current odor state information. Based on this, when the main control system acquires the current odor change image under the food storage mode and current operating parameters, it can also send this image to the odor sensor. The odor sensor can then read a preset odor change image matching the current operating parameters from its stored basic data. Based on the current odor change image and the preset odor change image, the odor sensor can determine the target odor data for the refrigerator in the food storage mode.

[0075] The odor data processing method provided in this embodiment of the invention allows the main control system to obtain the current odor status information inside the box by sending an odor status acquisition command to the built-in odor sensor, thereby improving the flexibility and reliability of the main control system in obtaining the current odor status information.

[0076] Understandably, when a refrigerator has a built-in purification device, the main control system can first activate the purification device and then acquire the current odor change image, based on the purification impact processing strategy determined by the system to use preset purification substances to remove odors. Based on this, and according to the purification impact processing strategy, the system determines the current odor change image corresponding to the current operating parameter information in food storage mode. The implementation process may include:

[0077] Based on the purification impact treatment strategy, a start command is sent to the purification device, and the current odor change image corresponding to the current working parameter information of the food storage mode is determined; wherein, the start command is used to instruct the purification device to release the preset purification substance.

[0078] Specifically, when the main control system determines that there is an odor inside the box and the purification effect treatment strategy is to use a preset purification substance to remove the odor, it can send a start command to the purification device so that the purification device releases the preset purification substance into the box. In this way, during the entire process of the preset purification substance removing odor and sterilizing the odor, the system determines the current odor change image corresponding to the current working parameter information of the food storage mode, until the concentration value of the odor obtained by removing odor and sterilizing is lower than the preset concentration threshold, at which point the system controls the purification device to shut down.

[0079] The odor data processing method provided in this embodiment of the invention improves the necessity and pertinence of odor removal and sterilization by controlling the activation of the purification device through a purification impact processing strategy in the main control system, thereby further enhancing the functionality, flexibility and reliability of the refrigerator.

[0080] Understandably, to improve the rate of acquiring preset odor change images, preset odor change images corresponding to different operating parameter information in idle mode can be pre-set and stored. Based on this, the specific implementation process of step 120 may include:

[0081] Based on the mapping relationship between pre-set working parameter information and preset odor change images, a preset odor change image matching the current working parameter information is obtained.

[0082] Specifically, to ensure that the odor data displayed after deodorization and sterilization in actual use matches the actual odor data inside the refrigerator, basic data can be collected for the refrigerator in no-load mode. This involves collecting data on the impact of preset purification substances on the odor inside the refrigerator under different operating parameters, and plotting these data into different preset odor change images. Each preset odor change image can be a curve showing the change of odor inside the refrigerator over time under no-load mode and for each operating parameter. This establishes a mapping relationship between the operating parameter information in no-load mode and the preset odor change images. This mapping relationship can be stored either in the main control system or in the odor sensor. Based on this, when the refrigerator is put into use, the current operating parameter information inside the refrigerator can be matched with the basic information to obtain a preset odor change image matching the current operating parameter information in no-load mode. Different operating parameter information corresponds to different operating states, i.e., different temperatures (0–10℃), different humidity levels (20%–100%), and different cooling states (on or off) correspond to different operating states. For example, operating state 1 is temperature 2℃, humidity 40% and cooling system on, operating state 2 is temperature 4℃, humidity 60% and cooling system off, and operating state 3 is temperature 6℃, humidity 80% and cooling system on.

[0083] The odor data processing method provided in this invention improves the accuracy and reliability of obtaining preset odor change images by pre-establishing and storing the mapping relationship between working parameter information and preset odor change images in the idle mode.

[0084] Understandably, to facilitate users' timely access to the actual odor data inside the refrigerator after deodorization and sterilization, the target odor data for the refrigerator in the food storage mode can be promptly pushed to the user. Based on this, after step 130, the odor data processing method may further include:

[0085] The target odor data is displayed based on a preset display method; wherein the preset display method includes at least one of concentration value display and color indicator light display.

[0086] Specifically, the main control system can display the target odor data of the refrigerator in food storage mode as a concentration value or as a color indicator light. For example, it can display the target odor data as 80 ppm, or as a green indicator light, or simultaneously display both 80 ppm and a green indicator light.

[0087] Understandably, the main control system can pre-store the odor concentration range corresponding to different colored indicator lights. For example, 0-100ppm corresponds to a green indicator light, 100-500ppm corresponds to a yellow indicator light, and above 500ppm corresponds to a red indicator light. This allows the main control system to match the corresponding colored indicator light based on the currently determined target odor data and control the corresponding colored indicator light to start.

[0088] The odor data processing method provided in this invention displays target odor data by using a preset display mode that displays concentration values ​​and / or color indicator lights, improving the convenience, speed, reliability, and accuracy for users to intuitively understand the actual odor state inside the chamber after odor removal and sterilization.

[0089] Reference Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a refrigerator provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the refrigerator includes a main control system ( Figure 3 (Not shown in the image), the cabinet, and the odor sensor and purification device installed inside the refrigerator compartment of the cabinet; the main control system is electrically connected to the odor sensor and purification device respectively; wherein:

[0090] The purification device is used to start under the control of the main control system and to release a preset purification substance; the odor sensor is used to detect odors inside the box in the food storage mode; the main control system is used to execute the odor data processing method described in the foregoing embodiments for the odors inside the box detected by the odor sensor.

[0091] It is understandable that the main control system includes at least a main control board and wiring harnesses. The main control board can be located outside the enclosure, such as at the top or back of the enclosure; the wiring harnesses can be installed inside the enclosure.

[0092] It is understandable that, in addition to the cabinet, main control system, odor sensor, and purification device, a refrigerator may also include common components such as the refrigeration system and door. Their functions and locations are the same as those of common components in existing refrigerators. Further details will not be provided here.

[0093] Understandably, the odor sensor can be installed at the return air vent, in the air duct, or on the inner side wall of the refrigerator compartment. The inner side wall of the refrigerator compartment can be the top inner wall as shown in Figure 3, or the middle interior of the refrigerator compartment. This arrangement ensures that the odor sensor can better detect odors inside the compartment. Furthermore, the odor sensor can be integrated with a purification device and installed inside the refrigerator compartment.

[0094] It is understandable that the odor sensor can have a built-in control chip and a sensor chip, with the control chip and sensor chip electrically connected. Specifically, the sensor chip is used to generate electrical signal change data that changes over time for odors inside the box during food storage mode, and sends the electrical signal change data to the control chip. The control chip is used to process the electrical signal change data into the current odor status information inside the box, and sends the current odor status information to the main control system.

[0095] It is understandable that an odor sensor, in addition to a control chip and a sensor chip, may also include a heating drive and a heating circuit. The heating drive and heating circuit can be built into the sensor chip. The control chip can control the temperature of the heating drive to heat the heating circuit, thereby causing the sensor chip to generate electrical signal change data over time in an active state. This electrical signal change data can be a change in resistance or voltage over time. The sensor chip then sends this electrical signal change value to the control chip. The control chip processes the electrical signal change value to determine the current odor state information inside the refrigerator. This current odor state information can be the current odor concentration value and its corresponding level. This information is then further sent to the refrigerator's main control system. This achieves the goal of quickly and effectively determining the current odor state information, given that the odor sensor includes both a sensor chip and a control chip.

[0096] It is understandable that the sensor chip may contain a metal semiconductor oxide, which may be one or more of WO3, SnO2, In2O3, MOO3 or ZnO; the odor inside the box may be a reducing odor from the refrigerator, which may be sulfur compounds, amines, etc., such as trimethylamine, methanethiol and ethanol.

[0097] Understandably, since metal semiconductor oxides are inactive at low temperatures and only become active when heated to high temperatures (e.g., 300°C), the control chip in the odor sensor activates the sensor chip and releases the metal semiconductor oxide to react with the reducing odor by controlling the temperature driven by heating. Based on this, the sensor chip generates electrical signal changes over time in its active state. This can be understood as the metal semiconductor oxide released by the sensor chip reacting with the reducing odor in the storage room, causing changes in resistance or voltage, thus generating electrical signal changes over time. This improves the timeliness, effectiveness, and reliability of the odor sensor in detecting odors.

[0098] It is understandable that the preset purification substances include oxidizing substances and / or active free radicals. These preset purification substances can vary depending on the purification device. For example, when the purification device is at least one of an ozone generator, plasma generator, negative ion generator, water ion generator, or ultraviolet disinfection lamp, the preset purification substance can be at least one of ozone, plasma, negative ions, water ions, or ultraviolet light. This improves the flexibility and reliability of odor removal and sterilization.

[0099] Understandably, the purification device can also have a built-in detection device. This device is used to detect the changes in the concentration of oxidizing substances in the refrigerator in real time and process the concentration changes into the impact on the odor inside the refrigerator. This allows the target odor data of the refrigerator in food storage mode to be determined through correction. Oxidizing substances can also be replaced with active substances.

[0100] The odor data processing apparatus provided in the embodiments of the present invention will be described below. The odor data processing apparatus described below can be referred to in correspondence with the odor data processing method described above.

[0101] Reference Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the odor data processing device provided by the present invention, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the odor data processing device 400 includes:

[0102] The determination module 410 is used to determine the current odor change image corresponding to the current working parameter information when running in food storage mode. The current odor change image represents the change of different odor data obtained by purifying the odor in the box using preset purification substances.

[0103] The acquisition module 420 is used to acquire a preset odor change image that matches the current working parameter information in the no-load mode. The preset odor change image represents the influence of the preset purification substance on the odor inside the chamber.

[0104] The processing module 430 is used to determine the target odor data of the refrigerator in the food storage mode based on the current odor change image and the preset odor change image.

[0105] It is understandable that the determination module 410 can be used to determine that the box is in food storage mode, obtain the current odor status information and current working parameter information inside the box; based on the current odor status information, determine the purification impact treatment strategy of using preset purification substances to remove odors; based on the purification impact treatment strategy, determine the current odor change image corresponding to the current working parameter information when running in food storage mode.

[0106] It is understandable that the determination module 410 can also be used to determine that the box is in a food storage mode, send an odor status acquisition command to the odor sensor, and receive the current odor status information of the box fed back by the odor sensor.

[0107] It is understood that the determination module 410 can also be used to send a start command to the purification device based on the purification effect processing strategy, and determine the current odor change image corresponding to the current working parameter information of the food storage mode; wherein, the start command is used to instruct the purification device to release a preset purification substance.

[0108] It is understandable that the acquisition module 420 can be used to acquire a preset odor change image that matches the current working parameter information based on the mapping relationship between the pre-set working parameter information in the no-load mode and the preset odor change image.

[0109] It is understood that the odor data processing device may also include a data display module for displaying target odor data based on a preset display mode; wherein the preset display mode includes at least one of concentration value display and color indicator light display.

[0110] The odor data processing device provided in this embodiment of the invention determines the current odor change image corresponding to the current working parameter information when the refrigerator is put into use, and acquires a preset odor change image that matches the current working parameter information in the empty mode. Since the current odor change image represents the change of different odor data obtained by purifying the odor in the refrigerator with preset purification substances, and the preset odor change image represents the influence of preset purification substances on the odor in the refrigerator, the target odor data of the refrigerator in the food storage mode is determined by using different odor change images of the refrigerator in the empty mode and the food storage mode under the same working state. This ensures that the odor data displayed after odor removal and sterilization is the actual odor data in the refrigerator after odor removal and sterilization, thereby greatly improving the accuracy and reliability of the refrigerator in odor removal and sterilization.
