[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Method First Embodiment

[0025] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the item detection method for a vehicle-mounted refrigerator according to the present invention. The method includes:

[0026] Step S1: Obtain the weight data K0 of the items in the refrigerator drawer;

[0027] Step S2: Compare and analyze the obtained item weight data K0 with the preset comparison factors;

[0028] Step S3: Based on the comparison and analysis results, determine whether to activate the alarm or notify the user.

[0029] For example, in step S1 of this embodiment, the method of obtaining the weight data K0 of the items in the refrigerator drawer includes:

[0030] Four half-bridge resistive sensors are arranged at the four corners of the bottom of the refrigerator drawer. They are connected in parallel to form a full-bridge circuit. Support plates are installed on the four sensors, and items are placed on the support plates. The weight of the items acts on the support plates, and the support plates transmit the force to the deformation part of the sensors, causing a change in resistance. Through the AD circuit, the resistance value is converted into a weight value, and the weight data K0 is obtained.

[0031] Alternatively, the vehicle refrigerator may be equipped with a beverage section and a fruit section, and the quantity of items in the beverage section and the fruit section may be obtained respectively;

[0032] The method of obtaining the quantity status of items in the beverage section and fruit section respectively includes setting up a camera device to identify the quantity of items in the beverage section and fruit section of the refrigerator through the captured images.

[0033] In step S2, the comparison factors may include a variety of factors, such as weight value, quantity value, and time value.

[0034] Method Second Embodiment

[0035] like Figure 2 The diagram shown is a flowchart of a second embodiment of the item detection method for a vehicle-mounted refrigerator according to the present invention. The method includes:

[0036] Step S4: Set the shortest detection time T0 and the no-change detection time T1;

[0037] Step S1: Obtain the weight data K0 of the items in the refrigerator drawer;

[0038] In this embodiment, in step S1, obtaining the item weight data K0 means obtaining the item weight data that exceeds the shortest detection time T0;

[0039] For example, if the shortest detection time T0 is set to 2 seconds, then in step S1, the item weight data K0 is only valid if the item data takes more than 2 seconds to obtain. This is mainly to prevent errors caused by the weight change due to the item bouncing briefly inside the refrigerator caused by the vehicle's movement.

[0040] Step S2: Compare and analyze the obtained item weight data K0 with the preset comparison factors;

[0041] This step is based on the same principle as the corresponding step in the first embodiment of the method, and will not be described again.

[0042] Step S3: Based on the comparison and analysis results, determine whether to activate the alarm or notify the user.

[0043] This step is based on the same principle as the corresponding step in the first embodiment of the method, and will not be described again.

[0044] In this embodiment, if the change in the item weight data K0 exceeds the no-change detection period T1 and the change value is less than the preset change threshold, an alarm is triggered or a reminder is sent to the user, indicating that the item has not been used for a long time. For example, the no-change detection period T1 is set to 10 days or 15 days, etc.; the preset change threshold can be set to 200g or 500g, etc. Therefore, if the item weight data K0 exceeds 10 days and the change value is within 200g, it means that most of the items in the refrigerator may not have been used and there is a risk of expiration, so they need to be cleaned up in time.

[0045] Method Third Embodiment

[0046] like Figure 3 The diagram shown is a flowchart of a third embodiment of the item detection method for a vehicle-mounted refrigerator according to the present invention. The method includes:

[0047] Step S5: Set the first preset weight threshold K1 and the second preset weight threshold K2;

[0048] Step S4: Set the shortest detection time T0 and the no-change detection time T1;

[0049] This step is based on the same principle as the corresponding step in the second embodiment of the method, and will not be described again.

[0050] Step S1: Obtain the weight data K0 of the items in the refrigerator drawer;

[0051] This step is based on the same principle as the corresponding step in the second embodiment of the method, and will not be described again.

[0052] Step S2: Compare and analyze the obtained item weight data K0 with the preset comparison factors;

[0053] In this embodiment, step S2 includes:

[0054] If the item weight data K0 is less than the first preset weight threshold K1, an alarm will be triggered or a reminder will be sent to the user that the item is insufficient.

[0055] If the item weight data K0 is greater than the second preset weight threshold K2, an alarm will be triggered, or a reminder will be sent to the user that the item is full.

[0056] Step S3: Based on the comparison and analysis results, determine whether to activate the alarm or notify the user.

[0057] In this embodiment, for example, the first preset weight threshold K1 is set to 300g, because a small bottle of cola or other beverage is generally about 350ml, or an apple weighs 100g, etc. If the detected item weight data K0 is less than 300g, it means that there is no water in the car refrigerator, so an alarm is triggered, or the user is reminded that there are not enough items.

[0058] For example, the maximum capacity of the car refrigerator is the second preset weight threshold K2, which can generally hold 6-10 bottles of beverages or 3-5 jin of fruits such as apples. If K2 is set to 3000g, then if the detected item weight data K0 is greater than 3000g, an alarm will be triggered or a reminder will be sent to the user that the refrigerator is full and that the user does not need to purchase new items to put in the refrigerator.

[0059] Method Fourth Embodiment

[0060] like Figure 4 The diagram shown is a flowchart of the fourth embodiment of the item detection method applied to a vehicle refrigerator according to the present invention. The method includes:

[0061] Step S5: Set the first preset weight threshold K1 and the second preset weight threshold K2;

[0062] This step is based on the same principle as the corresponding step in the third embodiment of the method, and will not be described again.

[0063] Step S4: Set the shortest detection time T0 and the no-change detection time T1;

[0064] This step is based on the same principle as the corresponding step in the second embodiment of the method, and will not be described again.

[0065] Step S1: Obtain the weight data K0 of the items in the refrigerator drawer;

[0066] This step is based on the same principle as the corresponding step in the first embodiment of the method, and will not be described again.

[0067] Step S6: Obtain the change values ​​of the weight data K0 of the item in the most recent N changes;

[0068] Step S7: Analyze and obtain user habit factors based on the change parameters of the most recent N changes in the item weight data K0; the habit factors include the time period of K0 change or the number of K0 changes;

[0069] For example, in this embodiment, the change values ​​of the item weight data K0 in the last 20 times are obtained and big data analysis is performed; for example, if 10 of the last 20 times the change occurred between 1 pm and 2 pm, or between 5 pm and 6 pm, it indicates that the user of the vehicle often takes out the refrigerator items between 1 pm and 2 pm or between 5 pm and 6 pm.

[0070] For example, if the weight of the item decreased by 700g in 10 out of the last 20 times, it means that the user of the car often takes 2 bottles of water each time, and there may be 2 people riding in the car frequently.

[0071] Step S8: Based on user habits, automatically start the vehicle refrigerator's cooling system in advance; or based on user habits, remind the user whether there are enough items.

[0072] In this step, operations are performed based on the analysis results of step S7; for example, the vehicle refrigerator cooling system is automatically turned on half an hour before 1 p.m. and 5 p.m.; or when the weight of the items in the vehicle refrigerator is less than 700g, or less than 1400g (less than 4 bottles of water, enough for only two people to use once), the user is reminded or an alarm is triggered.

[0073] Step S2: Compare and analyze the obtained item weight data K0 with the preset comparison factors;

[0074] This step is based on the same principle as the corresponding step in the first embodiment of the method, and will not be described again.

[0075] Step S3: Based on the comparison and analysis results, determine whether to activate the alarm or notify the user.

[0076] This step is based on the same principle as the corresponding step in the first embodiment of the method, and will not be described again.

[0077] It should be noted that in this embodiment, steps S7 and S8 are executed simultaneously with steps S1 and S2.

[0078] Fifth embodiment of the method

[0079] like Figure 5 The diagram shown is a flowchart of the fourth embodiment of the item detection method applied to a vehicle refrigerator according to the present invention. The method includes:

[0080] Step S91: The vehicle refrigerator connects to an external mobile terminal wirelessly;

[0081] Step S1: Obtain the weight data K0 of the items in the refrigerator drawer;

[0082] Step S92: The external mobile terminal acquires the weight data K0 of the items in the vehicle refrigerator;

[0083] Step S93: The external mobile terminal reminds the user whether to add items or sends a command to the vehicle refrigerator based on the item weight data K0.

[0084] Step S2: Compare and analyze the obtained item weight data K0 with the preset comparison factors;

[0085] This step is based on the same principle as the corresponding step in the first embodiment of the method, and will not be described again.

[0086] Step S3: Based on the comparison and analysis results, determine whether to activate the alarm or notify the user.

[0087] This step is based on the same principle as the corresponding step in the first embodiment of the method, and will not be described again.

[0088] It should be noted that in this embodiment, steps S93 and S2 can be run simultaneously.

[0089] Therefore, in this invention, a mobile phone can be wirelessly connected to the car refrigerator, for example, via WIFI, Bluetooth, or mobile data traffic; after connection, the car refrigerator sends the contents data of the refrigerator to the mobile phone, such as the quantity of beverages or fruits, so that the user knows whether the items need to be replenished; or the user can send a command to the car refrigerator through the mobile phone to turn on the cooling system of the car refrigerator.
