In addition, the person skilled in the art can combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in the present application and the features of the different embodiments or examples without contradiction.
[0047] The storage cabinet of the present application can be a refrigerator, and can also be a food cabinet, a cosmetic cabinet, a medicine cabinet or a jewelry cabinet, which is not particularly limited herein. In order to more specifically describe the sterilization control method of the storage cabinet of the present application and the storage cabinet, the following takes the storage cabinet as a refrigerator as a use scenario:
[0048] According to the sterilization control method of the storage cabinet of the first aspect of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , comprising:
[0049] Step 100, i.e. temperature acquisition step: acquiring the temperature of the sterilization lamp, wherein the sterilization lamp is installed in the storage compartment of the storage cabinet;
[0050] Step 200, i.e. sterilization control step: determining that the temperature of the sterilization lamp is lower than the set temperature range, controlling the sterilization lamp to be in the first working mode, or determining that the temperature of the sterilization lamp is in the set temperature range, controlling the sterilization lamp to be in the second working mode.
[0051] Wherein, the flashing frequency of the second working mode is lower than the flashing frequency of the first working mode.
[0052] According to the sterilization control method of the storage cabinet, the microorganisms on the surface of the food material are killed by the pulsed strong light of the sterilization lamp, and the working mode of the sterilization lamp is adjusted according to the problem 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 flash frequency, so as to avoid the influence of the high temperature of the sterilization lamp on the service life of the sterilization lamp, and also avoid the deterioration of the food stored in the storage compartment due to the high temperature of the sterilization lamp.
[0053] In the temperature acquisition step, the temperature of the sterilization lamp can be acquired by a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor can be placed near the sterilization lamp or directly contact the surface of the sterilization lamp to measure the temperature. For example, the temperature of the sterilization lamp can be acquired by an infrared thermometer or a thermal imager. The infrared thermometer or the thermal imager is aimed at the surface of the sterilization lamp, triggers the measurement, and reads the temperature value. Of course, the temperature of the sterilization lamp is not limited to the above-mentioned methods, and other methods can also be used. The present application does not limit the way of acquiring the temperature of the sterilization lamp.
[0054] In the sterilization control step, the flash frequency is the number of flashes in a single working cycle of the sterilization lamp, that is, the flash frequency mentioned later. The sterilization lamp generates pulsed light by quickly opening and closing the circuit. When the current passes through the resistance part of the pulsed lamp, the resistance part generates heat, which causes the sterilization lamp to generate heat in the flash moment, and thus the temperature of the sterilization lamp rises. Therefore, reducing the flash frequency can reduce the heat generated by the current passing through the resistance, thereby relieving the temperature rise of the pulsed lamp. It can be understood that in the same time, the sterilization ability of the first working mode is stronger than that of the second working mode.
[0055] In the sterilization control step, the set temperature interval (specifically, T1 and T2 in the Figure 3 , wherein 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 working of the sterilization lamp. For example, the set temperature interval of the sterilization lamp can be between 40℃ and 60℃. When the temperature of the sterilization lamp is lower than 40℃, the sterilization lamp is controlled to disinfect and sterilize the storage compartment in the first working mode. When the temperature of the sterilization lamp is in the interval of 40℃ to 60℃, the sterilization lamp is controlled to disinfect and sterilize the storage compartment in the second working mode with a lower flash frequency, so as to avoid the influence of the high temperature of the sterilization lamp on the service life of the sterilization lamp. Of course, the set temperature interval here is only an example, and the set temperature interval of the present application is not limited by the example here.
[0056] According to one embodiment of the present application, the sterilization control step further comprises: determining that the temperature of the sterilization lamp is higher than a set temperature range, and controlling the cooling component to perform cooling treatment on the sterilization lamp. It can be understood that the cooling component can effectively dissipate heat and cool the sterilization lamp in time, prevent the sterilization lamp from overheating and damage, prolong its service life, enable it to recover to a safe temperature more quickly after stopping working, reduce the waiting time for cooling, and improve the working efficiency. Taking the set temperature range of the sterilization lamp as an example, which can be between 40°C and 60°C, when the temperature of the sterilization lamp is higher than 60°C in the sterilization control step, the cooling component is controlled to perform cooling treatment on the sterilization lamp, so as to realize rapid cooling of the sterilization lamp.
[0057] According to one embodiment of the present application, the storage cabinet is a refrigerator, the cooling component is arranged corresponding to the storage compartment, and the cooling component comprises at least one of a fan and an evaporator. It can be understood that when the refrigerator is the use scenario, the cooling component can be a fan or an evaporator in the refrigerator, without the need for additional components. It can be understood that the fan can accelerate the flow of air by generating air flow, and take away the hot air around the sterilization lamp, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the lamp. The evaporator realizes cooling through the evaporation refrigeration principle. The evaporator has a refrigerant inside, which absorbs the surrounding heat when evaporating, thereby reducing the ambient temperature and cooling the sterilization lamp. When the cooling component simultaneously comprises a fan and an evaporator, the cooling effect on the sterilization lamp is better.
[0058] According to one embodiment of the present application, the sterilization control step further comprises: determining that the temperature of the sterilization lamp is higher than a set temperature range, and controlling the cooling component to perform cooling treatment on the sterilization lamp. It can be understood that the cooling component can effectively dissipate heat and cool the sterilization lamp in time, prevent the sterilization lamp from overheating and damage, prolong its service life, enable it to recover to a safe temperature more quickly after stopping working, reduce the waiting time for cooling, and improve the working efficiency. Taking the set temperature range of the sterilization lamp as an example, which can be between 40°C and 60°C, when the temperature of the sterilization lamp is higher than 60°C in the sterilization control step, the cooling component is controlled to perform cooling treatment on the sterilization lamp, so as to realize rapid cooling of the sterilization lamp.
[0059] It can be understood that the sterilization lamp can be turned off for cooling and the cooling component can be controlled to perform cooling treatment on the sterilization lamp at the same time, so as to achieve the best heat dissipation effect.
[0060] In one embodiment, in the sterilization control step, the determination that the temperature of the sterilization lamp is higher than a set temperature range further comprises: prompting the user to take measures to cool the sterilization lamp. It can be understood that the prompting function can monitor the temperature of the sterilization lamp in time and issue a warning when it exceeds the safe range, reminding the user to take measures such as stopping using the sterilization lamp or taking the cooling component to cool the sterilization lamp, so as to avoid overheating problems.
[0061] According to one embodiment of the present application, the temperature obtaining step comprises: obtaining the flash times of the germicidal lamp in a single working cycle, and obtaining the temperature of the germicidal lamp based on the flash times being greater than or equal to a set number. It can be understood that frequent obtaining of the temperature of the germicidal lamp will result in continuous operation of the temperature obtaining step and consume a large amount of energy. By setting the flash times, the temperature of the germicidal lamp is obtained only when the flash times are greater than or equal to the set number, which can reduce the temperature obtaining frequency and reduce energy consumption.
[0062] It can be understood that the germicidal lamp comprises a capacitor, a power supply and a lamp body. The capacitor has two stages of an energy storage stage and a discharge stage. In the energy storage stage, the capacitor is charged from the power supply. The capacitor is connected to the positive pole of the power supply, and current starts 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 a discharge circuit of the lamp body. When the capacitor is connected to the discharge circuit, the charge stored in the capacitor starts to be released, and a high-voltage switch is opened to allow the charge in the capacitor to be quickly released through the discharge circuit to generate a high-energy pulse. Through repeated charging and discharging processes, the pulse lamp can generate a series of pulses at a high frequency.
[0063] In one embodiment, the single working cycle of the first working mode of the germicidal lamp is 3 min, and in the single working cycle, the pulse flash of the germicidal lamp is continuously performed. The single working cycle of the second working mode of the germicidal lamp is 6 min, and in the single working cycle, the pulse flash of the germicidal lamp is continuously performed. Of course, the single working cycle in the first working mode and the single working cycle in the second working mode are not limited by the examples herein.
[0064] According to one embodiment of the present application, before obtaining the temperature of the germicidal lamp, the method comprises: based on a power-on signal of the storage cabinet, controlling the germicidal lamp to be in the first working mode.
[0065] The method for obtaining the temperature of the germicidal lamp based on the flash times being greater than or equal to the set number comprises: obtaining a flash time increasing signal input by a user, and determining that the flash times are greater than or equal to the set number based on the increasing signal.
[0066] It can be understood that in the first working mode, as long as the flash times of the germicidal lamp in a single working cycle are less than the set number, the germicidal lamp can continuously operate normally in the first working mode and there is no problem of temperature rise. Avoiding continuous obtaining of the flash time increasing signal input by the user can reduce energy consumption.
[0067] It can be understood that the flash times to some extent reflect the working frequency or intensity of the germicidal lamp. Through the user input of the promotion signal, the germicidal lamp can be more accurately controlled and monitored. The larger the volume of the food, the more flash times are required, and the user needs to increase the flash times of the germicidal lamp to ensure effective disinfection of the food. When the user artificially increases the flash times of the germicidal lamp (i.e. the number of germicidal cycles), there may be a case that the temperature rise of the germicidal lamp affects the service life of the germicidal lamp, so determining that the flash times are greater than or equal to the set number of times and then monitoring the temperature of the germicidal lamp can reduce the temperature acquisition frequency and reduce energy consumption.
[0068] In one embodiment, the set number of times is the rated flash times of the germicidal lamp that will cause a temperature rise in a single working period of the first working mode. At this time, in the first working mode, when the flash times are greater than the set number of times, the germicidal lamp will rise in temperature, and the more the flash times, the faster the temperature rise; and when the flash times are less than or equal to the set number of times, the temperature rise will not occur. Of course, the set number of times can also be the rated flash times of the germicidal lamp that will cause a temperature rise in a single working period of the second working mode, or it can also be the rated flash times of the germicidal lamp that will cause a temperature rise in a single working period of other working modes. Generally, the single working period in different working modes is different. It should be noted that the flash times of the germicidal lamp in a single working period of the first working mode can have different values, as long as they are not less than the flash times of the germicidal lamp in a single working period of the second working mode. For example, the single working period of the first working mode is 3 min, and within 3 min, it can flash once every 1 s or flash once every 0.8 s based on the user's promotion signal of the flash times, and the first working mode has 6 working time periods within 24 hours of a day, and each working time period corresponds to a single working period. For another example, the single working period of the second working mode is 6 min, and within 6 min, it can flash once every 2 s or flash once every 2.5 s, and the second working mode has 6 working time periods within 24 hours of a day, and each working time period corresponds to a single working period.
[0069] According to one embodiment of the present application, the temperature obtaining step and the sterilization control step are performed when the germicidal lamp is in the second working mode. It can be understood that the sterilization intensity of the first working mode is higher than that of the second working mode at the same time. Also taking the set temperature interval of the germicidal lamp as an example, when the temperature of the germicidal lamp is obtained in the interval of 40°C to 60°C, the germicidal lamp is controlled to sterilize the storage compartment in the second working mode with lower flash frequency, so as to avoid that the high temperature of the germicidal lamp affects the service life of the germicidal lamp. When the temperature of the germicidal lamp is higher than 60°C, the germicidal lamp is cooled. When the temperature of the germicidal lamp is lower than 40°C, the germicidal lamp is controlled to switch from the second working mode with lower flash frequency back to the first working mode.
[0070] In order to describe the present application more clearly, please refer to Figure 3 The sterilization control method of the storage cabinet according to the present application is described below by taking a specific embodiment three as an example:
[0071] The storage cabinet is a refrigerator, wherein the set temperature interval of the germicidal lamp is between 40°C to 60°C, the single working period of the first working mode is 3 min, and the set number of flashes of the germicidal lamp in 3 min is 180 times. The single working period of the second working mode is 6 min. 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 promotion signal and promotes the number of flashes to 240 times. After obtaining the promotion signal, the relationship between the current number of flashes and the set number of flashes is judged. When the number of flashes is greater than the set number of flashes (180 times), the temperature of the germicidal lamp is obtained. During this period, as the germicidal lamp flashes continuously, the temperature of the germicidal lamp rises continuously. 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 single working period in the second working mode is lower than that of the germicidal lamp in the single working period in the first working mode. Therefore, based on the different number of flashes of the germicidal lamp in the single working period in the second working mode, the temperature of the germicidal lamp can rise at a slower speed or can decrease. 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. When the temperature of the germicidal lamp is lower than 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 the germicidal lamp is turned off.
[0073] According to the sterilization control device of the storage cabinet provided by the second embodiment of the present application, please refer toFigure 4 The application also provides a sterilization control device of a storage cabinet, comprising: a detection module configured to acquire a temperature of a sterilization lamp, wherein the sterilization lamp is installed in a storage compartment of the storage cabinet; and a control module configured to determine whether the temperature of the sterilization lamp is lower than a set temperature range, and control the sterilization lamp to be in a first working mode, or determine whether the temperature of the sterilization lamp is within the set temperature range, and control the sterilization lamp to be in a second working mode; wherein a flashing frequency of the sterilization lamp in the second working mode is lower than that in the first working mode. It should be noted that the content of the first aspect of the application can be used to explain the sterilization control device of the storage cabinet of the second aspect of the application, and thus the same content will not be described in detail.
[0074] The application also provides a storage cabinet, comprising: a body, wherein a storage compartment is formed inside the body; a sterilization lamp, disposed in the storage compartment; a temperature sensor, configured to acquire a temperature of the sterilization lamp; and a controller, connected to the temperature sensor and the sterilization lamp, and configured to execute the sterilization control method of the storage cabinet. It should be noted that the content of the first aspect of the application can be used to explain the storage cabinet of the third aspect of the application, and thus the same content will not be described in detail.
[0075] It can be understood that the temperature sensor can be directly placed near the sterilization lamp or directly contact the surface of the sterilization lamp to measure the temperature. The temperature of the sterilization lamp can also be measured by aligning the surface of the sterilization lamp with an infrared temperature measurement or thermal imaging, and reading the temperature value. Of course, the temperature sensor acquiring the temperature of the sterilization lamp is not limited by the examples herein. The controller is configured to control and monitor the temperature sensor and the sterilization lamp, and execute the sterilization control method of the storage cabinet.
[0076] In one embodiment, the sterilization lamp is disposed at the top of the storage compartment. It can be understood that the storage compartment usually stores various items, which are prone to breed bacteria, mold and other harmful microorganisms. Installing the sterilization lamp at the top of the storage compartment can achieve a wider irradiation range. Since the light radiates downward from the top, it can cover a larger space, ensuring that all items in the storage compartment can be irradiated by light. Effectively kill bacteria and viruses, improve cleaning effect. The top is the idle space inside the storage compartment, and installing the sterilization lamp on the top will not occupy the storage space, and at the same time, the neatness and usability of the items in the storage compartment can be maintained.
[0077] In one embodiment, the sterilization lamp is a xenon lamp. It can be understood that the xenon lamp can kill bacteria, viruses and fungi and other microorganisms in the air by generating strong ultraviolet radiation, effectively reducing the spread of bacteria in the indoor air. Generally, only a few minutes to tens of minutes are needed to complete the sterilization process, which is faster than other sterilization methods. The sterilization process of the xenon lamp does not produce chemical substances, does not pollute the environment, and does not produce any harmful substance residues. 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 storage cabinet further comprises a cooling assembly, the control module 600 is connected to the cooling assembly for performing the sterilization control method of the storage cabinet as described above. The cooling assembly can be a fan, and multiple fans can be provided, and the air paths formed by the fans are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the sterilization lamp. Of course, the cooling assembly can also be a heat sink, which is connected to the sterilization lamp and can be two heat sinks connected in series and respectively located on the two sides of the sterilization lamp.
[0079] In one embodiment, the detection module 500 is provided with a temperature prompting assembly of the sterilization lamp, which can timely monitor the temperature of the sterilization lamp and issue a warning when it exceeds the safe range, prompting the user to take measures such as stopping using the sterilization lamp or taking the cooling assembly to cool the sterilization lamp, so as to avoid the occurrence of overheating problems.
[0080] In one embodiment, the storage cabinet is a refrigerator, and the storage compartment is an ice-making compartment. The sterilization lamp is arranged at the top of the ice-making compartment, and is used for sterilizing and disinfecting the ice or food stored in the ice-making compartment to prevent the refrigerator from having a peculiar smell. The ice-making compartment is provided with a guide rail, and the ice-making drawer is slidably connected to the ice-making compartment through the guide rail to open and close the opening of the ice-making compartment. When the controller of the storage cabinet detects that the drawer of the ice-making compartment has ice or food and the drawer covers the opening of the ice-making compartment, the controller performs the sterilization control method of the storage cabinet.
[0081] Figure 5 An example of a schematic diagram of a physical structure of an electronic device is shown, which can include: a processor 810, a communications interface 820, a memory 830, and a communications bus 840, wherein the processor 810, the communications interface 820, and the memory 830 complete mutual communication through the communications bus 840. The processor 810 can invoke the logical instructions in the memory 830 to execute the control method of the storage cabinet as described above.
