Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of storage technology, and in particular to a sterilization control method of a locker, a sterilization control device of a locker, and a locker. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, consumers are gradually paying more attention to the hygiene of home appliances, especially storage cabinets. Take the refrigerator as an example. As a very commonly used storage cabinet, the environment of the refrigerator is relatively closed and humid, which is not only easy for food to cross-flavor, but also easy to breed bacteria, causing food to spoil. Therefore, the refrigerator needs to sterilize the food stored in the storage compartment, and ensure that the sterilization process will not affect the food stored in the storage compartment. The prior art installs a germicidal lamp in the refrigerator compartment to sterilize the compartment. The pulse light of the germicidal lamp is a full-band spectrum (200-1100nm), which stores energy through energy storage capacitors and releases energy instantly to achieve the effect of sterilization. However, the pulse light will release heat at the moment of flashing, and the accumulation of heat will affect the service life of the germicidal lamp. Summary of the invention

In addition, those skilled in the art may combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of the different embodiments or examples, without contradiction.

[0047] The storage cabinet of the present invention may be a refrigerator, or a food cabinet, a cosmetic cabinet, a medicine cabinet, or a jewelry cabinet, and the present invention is not particularly limited here. In order to more specifically describe the sterilization control method of the storage cabinet and the storage cabinet of the present invention, the storage cabinet is a refrigerator as a usage scenario:

[0048] According to the sterilization control method of the locker of the first embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,include:

[0049] Step 100, i.e., a temperature acquisition step: acquiring the temperature of a germicidal lamp, wherein the germicidal lamp is installed in a storage compartment of a locker;

[0050] Step 200, i.e., the sterilization control step: determining that the temperature of the germicidal lamp is lower than a set temperature range, and controlling the germicidal lamp to be in a first working mode; or determining that the temperature of the germicidal lamp is within a set temperature range, and controlling the germicidal lamp to be in a second working mode.

[0051] The flash frequency in the second working mode is lower than the flash frequency in the first working mode.

[0052] According to the sterilization control method of the storage cabinet of the embodiment of the present invention, the microorganisms on the surface of the food are killed by the pulse strong light of the sterilization lamp, and the different working modes of the sterilization lamp are adjusted according to the problems of the sterilization lamp. When the temperature of the sterilization lamp tube is high, the sterilization lamp is adjusted to the second working mode with a lower flashing frequency, thereby avoiding the sterilization lamp temperature being too high to affect the service life of the sterilization lamp, and also preventing the food stored in the storage room from spoiling due to the increased temperature of the sterilization lamp.

[0053] In the temperature acquisition step, the temperature of the germicidal lamp can be acquired by a temperature sensor, and the temperature sensor is placed near the germicidal lamp or directly in contact with the surface of the germicidal lamp to measure the temperature. For example, the temperature of the germicidal lamp can be acquired by an infrared thermometer or a thermal imager, and the infrared thermometer or the thermal imager is aimed at the surface of the germicidal lamp, the measurement is triggered, and the temperature value is read. Of course, acquiring the temperature of the germicidal lamp is not limited to the above-mentioned methods, and other methods can also be used. The present invention does not limit the method of acquiring the temperature of the germicidal lamp.

[0054] In the sterilization control step, the flash frequency is the number of times the germicidal lamp flashes in a single working cycle, which is the flash count mentioned later. The germicidal lamp generates pulse light by quickly opening and closing the circuit. When it is turned on, the current will pass through the resistor part of the pulse lamp, and the resistor part will generate heat, causing the germicidal lamp to generate heat at the moment of flashing, thereby increasing the temperature of the germicidal lamp. Therefore, reducing the flash frequency can reduce the heat generated by the current passing through the resistor, thereby alleviating the temperature increase of the pulse lamp. It can be understood that in the same time, the sterilization ability of the first working mode is stronger than the sterilization effect of the second working mode.

[0055] In the sterilization control step, set the temperature range (for details, please refer to Figure 3 T1 and T2 in the figure, where T1 is the first temperature threshold and T2 is the second temperature threshold) can be understood as setting a temperature range according to the needs of the normal operation of the germicidal lamp. For example, the set temperature interval of the germicidal lamp can be between 40°C and 60°C. When the temperature of the germicidal lamp is obtained to be lower than 40°C, the germicidal lamp is controlled to disinfect and sterilize the storage room in the first working mode. When the temperature of the germicidal lamp is obtained to be in the range of 40°C to 60°C, the germicidal lamp is controlled to disinfect and sterilize the storage room in the second working mode with a lower flash frequency, thereby avoiding the germicidal lamp temperature being too high and affecting the service life of the germicidal lamp. Of course, the temperature range set here is only for example, and the set temperature range of the present invention is not limited by the example given here.

[0056] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the sterilization control step also includes: determining that the temperature of the germicidal lamp is higher than the set temperature range, and controlling the cooling component to cool the germicidal lamp. It is understandable that the cooling component can effectively dissipate heat, dissipate heat to the germicidal lamp in time, prevent the germicidal lamp from overheating and damage, extend its service life, and enable it to return to a safe temperature more quickly after stopping work, thereby reducing the waiting time for cooling and improving work efficiency. Taking the example that the set temperature range of the germicidal lamp can be between 40°C and 60°C, in the sterilization control step, when the temperature of the germicidal lamp is obtained to be higher than 60°C, the cooling component is controlled to cool the germicidal lamp, thereby achieving rapid cooling of the germicidal lamp.

[0057] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the storage cabinet is a refrigerator, the cooling component is arranged corresponding to the storage compartment, and the cooling component includes at least one of a fan and an evaporator. It is understandable that when the refrigerator is used as the usage scenario, the cooling component can be a fan or an evaporator in the refrigerator, and no additional components are required. It is understandable that the fan accelerates the flow of air by generating airflow, removes the hot air around the germicidal lamp, and improves the heat dissipation effect of the lamp. The evaporator achieves cooling through the principle of evaporative refrigeration. There is refrigerant inside the evaporator. When the refrigerant evaporates, it absorbs the surrounding heat, thereby lowering the ambient temperature and cooling the germicidal lamp. When the cooling component includes both a fan and an evaporator, the cooling effect on the germicidal lamp is better.

[0058] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the sterilization control step further includes: determining that the temperature of the germicidal lamp is higher than the set temperature range, and controlling the germicidal lamp to turn off. It is understandable that the germicidal lamp will generate a large amount of heat during operation. If the heat cannot be dissipated in time, it may cause the lamp to overheat or even damage the internal components of the lamp. Taking the example that the set temperature range of the germicidal lamp can be between 40°C and 60°C, when the temperature of the germicidal lamp exceeds 60°C, the germicidal lamp can be turned off to cool down, and the germicidal lamp will no longer work, waiting for the germicidal lamp to cool down.

[0059] It is understandable that the germicidal lamp can be turned off to wait for cooling and the cooling component can be controlled to cool the germicidal lamp at the same time, so as to achieve the best heat dissipation effect.

[0060] In one embodiment, in the sterilization control step, it is determined that the temperature of the germicidal lamp is higher than the set temperature range, and further includes: prompting the user to take measures to cool down the germicidal lamp. It is understandable that the prompt function can monitor the temperature of the germicidal lamp in a timely manner, and issue a warning when it exceeds the safety range, reminding the user to take measures, such as stopping the use of the germicidal lamp or using a cooling component to cool down the germicidal lamp, etc., to avoid overheating.

[0061] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the temperature acquisition step includes: acquiring the number of flashes of the germicidal lamp in a single working cycle, and acquiring the temperature of the germicidal lamp based on the number of flashes being greater than or equal to a set number. It is understandable that frequently acquiring the temperature of the germicidal lamp will cause the temperature acquisition step to work continuously, consuming a large amount of energy. By setting the number of flashes, the temperature of the germicidal lamp is acquired only when the number of flashes is greater than or equal to the set number, which can reduce the frequency of temperature acquisition and reduce energy consumption.

[0062] It is understood that the germicidal lamp includes a capacitor, a power supply and a lamp body. The capacitor has two stages: a storage stage and a discharge stage. In the storage stage, the capacitor will be charged from the power supply. The capacitor is connected to the positive pole of the power supply, and current begins to flow into the capacitor until the capacitor is fully charged. In the discharge stage, the capacitor is fully charged, and the capacitor can be disconnected from the power supply and connected to the discharge circuit of the lamp body. When the capacitor is connected to the discharge circuit, the charge stored in the capacitor begins to be released, and the high voltage switch will open, allowing the charge in the capacitor to be quickly released through the discharge circuit, generating a high-energy pulse. By repeating the charging and discharging process, the pulse lamp can generate a series of pulses at a high frequency.

[0063] In one embodiment, a single working cycle of the first working mode of the germicidal lamp is 3 minutes, and in a single working cycle, the pulse flash of the germicidal lamp is performed continuously. A single working cycle of the second working mode of the germicidal lamp is 6 minutes, and in a single working cycle, the pulse flash of the germicidal lamp is performed continuously. Of course, the single working cycle in the first working mode and the single working cycle in the second working mode are not limited to the examples given here.

[0064] According to one embodiment of the present invention, before obtaining the temperature of the germicidal lamp, the method includes: based on a power-on signal of the locker, controlling the germicidal lamp to be in a first working mode;

[0065] Obtain the number of flashes of the germicidal lamp in a single working cycle, and based on the number of flashes being greater than or equal to the set number, obtain the temperature of the germicidal lamp, including: obtaining a flash number boost signal input by a user, and determining that the flash number is greater than or equal to the set number based on the boost signal.

[0066] It is understandable that in the first working mode, as long as the number of flashes of the germicidal lamp in a single working cycle is less than the set number, the germicidal lamp can continue to work normally in the first working mode without the problem of temperature rise, thereby avoiding the continuous acquisition of the flash number increase signal input by the user and reducing energy consumption.

[0067] It is understandable that the number of flashes reflects to a certain extent the working frequency or intensity of the germicidal lamp. Through the boost signal input by the user, the germicidal lamp can be controlled and monitored more accurately. The larger the volume of the food, the more flashes are required, and the user needs to increase the number of flashes of the germicidal lamp to ensure effective disinfection of the food. When the user artificially increases the number of flashes of the germicidal lamp (that is, the number of sterilization cycles), the temperature of the germicidal lamp may rise and affect the service life of the germicidal lamp. Therefore, determining that the number of flashes is greater than or equal to the set number and then monitoring the temperature of the germicidal lamp can reduce the frequency of temperature acquisition and reduce energy consumption.

[0068] In one embodiment, the set number is the rated number of flashes that the germicidal lamp will generate temperature rise in a single working cycle of the first working mode. At this time, in the first working mode, if the number of flashes is greater than the set number, the germicidal lamp will heat up, and the more the number of flashes, the faster the temperature rises; if the number of flashes is less than or equal to the set number, no temperature rise will occur. Of course, the set number can also be the rated number of flashes that the germicidal lamp will generate temperature rise in a single working cycle in the second working mode, or it can also be the rated number of flashes that the germicidal lamp will generate temperature rise in a single working cycle in other working modes. Generally, the single working cycles in different working modes are different. Among them, it should be noted that the number of flashes of the germicidal lamp in a single working cycle of the first working mode can have different values, as long as it is not less than the number of flashes of the germicidal lamp in a single working cycle of the second working mode. For example, a single working cycle of the first working mode is 3 minutes, and within 3 minutes, it can flash once every 1 second, or once every 0.8 seconds based on the user's flash frequency increase signal, and in the first working mode, there are 6 working time periods in 24 hours a day, and each working time period corresponds to a single working cycle. For another example, a single working cycle of the second working mode is 6 minutes, and within 6 minutes, it can flash once every 2 seconds, or once every 2.5 seconds, and in the second working mode, there are 6 working time periods in 24 hours a day, and each working time period corresponds to a single working cycle.

[0069] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the germicidal lamp is in the second working mode, the temperature acquisition step and the sterilization control step are circulated. It is understandable that, at the same time, the sterilization intensity of the first working mode is higher than the sterilization effect of the second working mode. Similarly, taking the example that the set temperature range of the germicidal lamp can be between 40°C and 60°C, in the sterilization control step, when it is obtained that the temperature of the germicidal lamp is in the range of 40°C to 60°C, the germicidal lamp is controlled to disinfect and sterilize the storage room in the second working mode with a lower flash frequency, so as to avoid the germicidal lamp temperature being too high and affecting the service life of the germicidal lamp. When the temperature of the germicidal lamp is obtained to be higher than 60°C, the germicidal lamp is cooled. When the temperature of the germicidal lamp is cooled to below 40°C, the germicidal lamp can be controlled to switch from the second working mode with a lower flash frequency back to the first working mode.

[0070] In order to describe the present invention more clearly, please refer to Figure 3 The following is a specific third embodiment to describe the sterilization control method of the locker of the present invention:

[0071] The storage cabinet is a refrigerator, in which the set temperature range of the germicidal lamp is between 40°C and 60°C, the single working cycle in the first working mode is 3 minutes, the set number of flashes of the germicidal lamp within 3 minutes is 180 times, and the single working cycle in the second working mode is 6 minutes. The refrigerator is powered on, and based on the power-on signal, the germicidal lamp is controlled to be in the first working mode. At this time, the user inputs a boost signal and increases the number of flashes to 240 times. After obtaining the boost signal, the relationship between the current number of flashes and the set number of flashes is determined. When the number of flashes is greater than the set number (180 times), the temperature of the germicidal lamp is obtained; during this period, as the germicidal lamp continues to flash, the temperature of the germicidal lamp continues to rise. When the temperature of the germicidal lamp reaches 40°C, the germicidal lamp is controlled to be in the second working mode.

[0072] The number of flashes of the germicidal lamp in the second working mode in a single working cycle is lower than the number of flashes of the germicidal lamp in the first working mode in a single working cycle. Therefore, based on the difference in the number of flashes of the germicidal lamp in a single working cycle in the second working mode, the temperature of the germicidal lamp may rise at a slower rate or may fall. When the temperature of the germicidal lamp returns to below 40°C, the germicidal lamp is controlled to switch to the first working mode, thereby ensuring the sterilization efficiency of the germicidal lamp. When the temperature exceeds 60°C, the cooling component is controlled to cool the germicidal lamp. Among them, when the temperature of the germicidal lamp drops below 40°C, the germicidal lamp can be controlled to be in the first working mode. Alternatively, when the temperature of the germicidal lamp exceeds 60°C, the cooling component can be controlled to cool the germicidal lamp and turn off the germicidal lamp.

[0073] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a sterilization control device for a locker is provided. Figure 4 , including a detection module for obtaining the temperature of a germicidal lamp, wherein the germicidal lamp is installed in a storage compartment of a locker; a control module for determining that the temperature of the germicidal lamp is lower than a set temperature range, and controlling the germicidal lamp to be in a first working mode, or determining that the temperature of the germicidal lamp is within a set temperature range, and controlling the germicidal lamp to be in a second working mode; wherein the flash frequency in the second working mode is lower than the flash frequency in the first working mode. It should be noted that the contents of the embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention can be used to explain the sterilization control device for lockers of the embodiments of the second aspect, so the same contents will not be repeated.

[0074] According to the third aspect of the present invention, a locker is provided, comprising: a body, a storage compartment formed therein; a germicidal lamp, arranged in the storage compartment; a temperature sensor, used to obtain the temperature of the germicidal lamp; a controller, connected to the temperature sensor and the germicidal lamp, used to execute the above-mentioned locker sterilization control method. It should be noted that the contents of the first aspect of the present invention can be used to explain the locker of the third aspect, so the same contents will not be repeated.

[0075] It is understandable that the temperature sensor can be placed directly near the germicidal lamp or directly contact the surface of the germicidal lamp to measure the temperature. It is also possible to measure the temperature of the germicidal lamp by infrared temperature measurement or thermal imaging aimed at the surface of the germicidal lamp, and read the temperature value. Of course, the temperature sensor obtaining the temperature of the germicidal lamp is not limited to the example given here. The controller is used to control and monitor the temperature sensor and the germicidal lamp, and execute the sterilization control method of the locker.

[0076] In one embodiment, the germicidal lamp is disposed on the top of the storage room. It is understandable that the storage room usually stores various items, which are prone to breed bacteria, mold and other harmful microorganisms. Installing the germicidal lamp on the top of the storage room can achieve a wider range of illumination. Since the light radiates downward from the top, it can cover a larger space, ensuring that the items in the entire storage room can be illuminated by the light. Effectively kill bacteria and viruses and improve the cleaning effect. The top is the free space in the storage room. Installing the germicidal lamp on the top will not take up the storage space, and at the same time can keep the items in the storage room neat and usable.

[0077] In one embodiment, the germicidal lamp is a xenon lamp. It is understood that the xenon lamp can kill microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and fungi in the air by generating strong ultraviolet radiation, effectively reducing the spread of germs in indoor air. Generally, it only takes a few minutes to tens of minutes to complete the sterilization process, which is faster than other sterilization methods. The sterilization process of the xenon lamp does not produce chemical substances, will not pollute the environment, and will not produce any harmful substances. At the same time, the xenon lamp itself is non-toxic and harmless, and will not cause harm to human health.

[0078] In one embodiment, the locker further includes a cooling component, a control module 600, and the cooling component is connected to execute the above-mentioned locker sterilization control method. The cooling component can be a fan, and a plurality of fans can be provided. The air paths formed by the fans are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the germicidal lamp. Of course, the cooling component can also be a radiator, and the radiator is connected to the germicidal lamp, and two radiators can be connected in series, respectively located on both sides of the germicidal lamp.

[0079] In one embodiment, the detection module 500 is provided with a temperature prompt component of the germicidal lamp. The temperature prompt function can monitor the temperature of the germicidal lamp in time and issue an alarm when it exceeds a safe range, reminding the user to take measures, such as stopping the use of the germicidal lamp or using a cooling component to cool the germicidal lamp, etc., to avoid overheating problems.

[0080] In one embodiment, the locker is a refrigerator, and the storage compartment is an ice-making compartment. A sterilization lamp is arranged on the top of the ice-making compartment, and the sterilization lamp is used to sterilize and disinfect ice cubes or food stored in the ice-making compartment to prevent the refrigerator from smelling.
