[0044] In some cases, the current odor removal method of the refrigerator detects the odor in the refrigeration area through a sensor and automatically starts the odor removal function when an odor is detected, or through gas sensing technology, the odor in the refrigerator can be monitored for 24 hours, but the user experience is not taken into account, that is, the user cannot smell the food odor when opening the door to take it, and cannot feel the odor and experience the state of the food.

[0045] Based on the above situation, the embodiments of the present application propose a control method, a controller, a refrigerator and a storage medium of a refrigerator, aiming to solve the problem of odor pollution during the aging process and improve the user experience.

[0046] The various embodiments of the refrigerator of the present application will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0047] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a refrigerator provided by an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of a refrigerator provided by another embodiment of the present application.

[0048] In an embodiment, the refrigerator is provided with an odor treatment module 120 and a fan 110, the odor treatment module includes an adsorption layer 122, the adsorption layer 122 is used to adsorb the odor emitted by the food, and the odor treatment module 120 further includes a catalytic layer 121, the catalytic layer 121 is located on one side of the adsorption layer 122.

[0049] It should be noted that the catalytic layer 121 loads catalysts such as Pt, Ti, Mn, Cu, Fe, Au, Ag, etc. on the substrate such as ceramic honeycomb, and at the same time, plasma, photocatalysis and other technologies can be superimposed; the adsorption layer 122 loads adsorbent materials such as molecular sieve, activated carbon, etc. on the substrate such as ceramic honeycomb; the adsorption layer is designed with heating wires or silk-screened heating paste on the front or back or front and back.

[0050] It should be noted that the catalytic layer 121 and the adsorption layer 122 can be arranged in front of and behind each other, and the catalytic layer 121 and the adsorption layer 122 can also be distributed in front of and behind each other on the same carrier.

[0051] In an embodiment, the odor treatment module 120 is installed in the aging space, and an odor sensor is further arranged in the aging space. The odor concentration value of the aging space can be detected by the odor sensor, so as to control the operating state of the fan according to the odor concentration value.

[0052] AsFigure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a refrigerator provided in another embodiment of this application.

[0053] In one embodiment, the odor treatment module 120 is further provided with a heating module 123, which may be a heating wire, a heating rod, or other structural forms; the heating module 123 may be disposed on the surface of the adsorption layer 122 or embedded inside the adsorption layer.

[0054] like Figure 4 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a refrigerator provided in another embodiment of this application; Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a refrigerator provided in another embodiment of this application.

[0055] In one embodiment, the odor treatment module 120 is installed in the maturation space 130, and an odor sensor is also provided in the maturation space 130. The odor sensor can detect the odor concentration value of the maturation space and control the operation status of the fan according to the odor concentration value.

[0056] In one embodiment, the odor treatment module 120 is installed in the maturation space 130, and the fan 110 is installed inside the air duct 140. The air after adsorption and catalysis flows into the air duct.

[0057] In one embodiment, the odor treatment module 120 is installed in the maturation space 130, and the fan 110 is installed inside the maturation space 130. The air after adsorption and catalysis flows sequentially into the maturation space.

[0058] Based on the hardware structure of the refrigerator in the above embodiments, the following presents various embodiments of the refrigerator control method of this application.

[0059] like Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is a flowchart of a refrigerator control method provided in one embodiment of this application; the refrigerator control method may include, but is not limited to, steps S610 and S620.

[0060] Step S610: Obtain the cooking degree of the ingredients;

[0061] Step S620: When the food maturity indicator shows that the food is in the mature and edible stage, when the opening command of the maturation space is received, the fan is controlled to rotate in the first direction so that the air flows through the adsorption layer and releases the odor adsorbed by the adsorption layer.

[0062] In an embodiment, in the case that the refrigerator chamber is provided with a spectral imaging module, the image information and spectral information of the food material are acquired by the spectral imaging module; since the image information and spectral information of different types of food materials are different, then the food material type of the food material is determined according to the image information, and the food material maturity of the food material is determined according to the spectral information, thereby improving the accuracy of the determination of the food material type and the food material maturity. In the case that the food material maturity represents that the food material is in a mature edible stage, when the opening instruction of the ripening space is received, the controller of the refrigerator controls the fan to rotate in a first direction, so that the air flows through the adsorption layer and releases the odor adsorbed by the adsorption layer. The problem of odor pollution during the ripening process is solved, and the user experience is improved.

[0063] It should be noted that during the ripening process of fruits and vegetables, the respiration rate, cell membrane permeability, cell wall composition, starch content, and hydrolytic enzyme activity such as amylase and polygalacturonase will change, and these changes ultimately manifest as the hardness of the fruits and vegetables. The hardness of the fruit refers to the ability of the fruit flesh to resist pressure, and the stronger the resistance to pressure, the greater the hardness of the fruit. Generally, as the maturity of the fruit increases, the hardness gradually decreases, and therefore, the maturity of the fruits and vegetables can be determined according to the hardness of the fruit.

[0064] It should be noted that the way to detect the maturity of the food material can be to detect the maturity of the food material by a spectral imaging sensor, or to detect the maturity of the food material according to the odor, weight, or shape of the food material. The specific way to detect the maturity of the food material is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0065] In an embodiment, if the ripening space is a storage drawer, the opening instruction corresponds to a drawer pull-out instruction.

[0066] In an embodiment, if the ripening space is a refrigerating chamber, the opening instruction corresponds to an opening instruction of the refrigerator door, specifically, an opening instruction of the refrigerator door corresponding to the refrigerating chamber.

[0067] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application can add a refrigerator door opening and closing sensor corresponding to the refrigerating chamber at the position of the refrigerator door. In the case that the food material maturity represents that the food material is in a mature edible stage, when the refrigerator door opening and closing sensor detects that the refrigerator door is in an open state, the control system of the refrigerator generates an opening instruction, and the automatic detection program receives the opening instruction.

[0068] In addition, it can be understood that the type of the refrigerator door opening and closing sensor can be a mechanical switch, a magnetic reed switch, a capacitive sensor, an inductive sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, or other types of refrigerator door opening and closing sensors, and the specific type of the refrigerator door opening and closing sensor is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0069] It should be noted that the control panel can be installed at the position of the refrigerator door, and the user can select to send an opening instruction through the control panel. When the user selects to send the opening instruction, the controller of the refrigerator receives the opening instruction.

[0070] In an embodiment, the odor treatment module is further provided with a heating module, and the method further comprises:

[0071] After receiving the opening instruction of the maturation space, the heating module is started to heat the adsorption layer to release the odor adsorbed by the adsorption layer.

[0072] It should be noted that the heating module can be a heating wire, or a heating rod, or other structural forms; the heating module can be arranged on the surface of the adsorption layer, or embedded in the adsorption layer. The structural form and the arrangement position of the heating module are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0073] Specifically, when the user opens the door of the maturation space, the system starts the heating module. The function of the heating module is to increase the temperature of the adsorption layer, thereby accelerating the release of odor molecules. Through heating, the odor molecules adsorbed on the materials inside the refrigerator are released into the air. These odor molecules can then be treated by the odor removal system of the refrigerator to maintain the cleanliness and freshness inside the refrigerator.

[0074] In an embodiment, the odor treatment module further comprises a catalytic layer located on one side of the adsorption layer; after obtaining the food material maturity, in the case that the food material maturity indicates that the food material is in the over-mature and inedible stage, the heating module is started to heat the adsorption layer, and the fan is controlled to rotate in a second direction to make the air flow through the adsorption layer and the catalytic layer in turn, wherein the second direction is opposite to the first direction.

[0075] It should be noted that in the case that the food material maturity indicates that the food material is in the over-mature and inedible stage, the heating module is started to heat the adsorption layer, and the fan is controlled to rotate in the forward direction, which can completely catalyze and remove the odor of the adsorption layer, and the user will not release odor when opening the door of the maturation space in the inedible stage.

[0076] In an embodiment, in the case that the food material maturity indicates that the food material is in the over-mature and inedible stage, when the opening instruction of the maturation space is received, the fan is controlled to rotate in the first direction or the fan is controlled to stop rotating.

[0077] In an embodiment, when the food material maturity reaches the over-mature and inedible stage, the control logic triggers the corresponding control instruction, according to the instruction of the control logic, the fan is controlled to rotate in the first direction or stop rotating, to adjust the environment of the maturation space, to prevent the food material from further maturing, and a user interface can also be provided to allow the user to set the threshold of the food material maturity and view the real-time data of the food material maturity.

[0078] As Figure 7 shown, Figure 7 is a flowchart of a control method of a refrigerator according to another embodiment of the present application; the control method of the refrigerator can include, but is not limited to, step S710 and step S720.

[0079] Step S710, determining that the maturation space is in a closed state, and detecting an odor concentration value of the maturation space through an odor sensor;

[0080] Step S720, controlling an operating state of a fan according to the odor concentration value.

[0081] It should be noted that the odor sensor is arranged inside the maturation space, and starts to work when the door or other access of the maturation space is in a completely closed state. This state can be determined by a door magnetic switch, an infrared detector or other position sensing device, to ensure that the odor detection result is not disturbed by the outside. The odor sensor is used to detect the odor concentration value in the maturation space in real time, and sends the value to the control system. The control system controls the operating state of the fan according to the odor concentration value, including the rotation of the fan and the stop of the rotation of the fan. Through the linkage control of the odor sensor and the fan, the odor concentration of the maturation environment can be effectively adjusted, to avoid that the over-concentration or over-dilution of the odor affects the maturation effect, and to avoid that the frequent operation of the fan leads to high energy consumption.

[0082] In an embodiment, the operating state of the fan is controlled according to the odor concentration value, including at least one of the following:

[0083] When the odor concentration value is greater than or equal to a preset threshold concentration, the fan is controlled to rotate in a second direction, so that air flows through the adsorption layer and the catalytic layer in sequence;

[0084] When the odor concentration value is less than the preset threshold concentration, the fan is controlled to stop rotating.

[0085] In an embodiment, when it is detected that the odor concentration value collected by the odor sensor is greater than or equal to a preset threshold concentration, the fan is controlled to rotate in a predetermined second direction, and the rotation direction of the fan ensures that air flows through the adsorption layer and the catalytic layer in sequence, so as to effectively remove the odor components in the air and ensure that the environmental odor is maintained within a reasonable range. When the odor concentration value is lower than the preset threshold concentration, the fan stops rotating, and further processing of the air is not performed at this time, to save energy consumption. The preset threshold can be adjusted according to different application scenarios, to adapt to different odor control requirements and ensure efficient operation of the air handling system.

[0086] In an embodiment, when the odor concentration value approaches or just reaches the preset threshold concentration, the rotation speed of the fan will gradually increase to accelerate air flow, allowing odor components to quickly enter the treatment layer. When the odor concentration is much higher than the threshold, the fan can enter high-speed mode to further enhance air treatment efficiency. At the same time, temperature sensors or humidity sensors can be combined to comprehensively judge the influence of environmental factors on odor dispersion, and then adjust the operating state of the fan. For example, when odor dispersion accelerates in a high-temperature environment, the system can automatically increase the fan speed to quickly remove odor molecules from the air.

[0087] In an embodiment, after obtaining the maturity of the food material, if the maturity of the food material indicates that the food material is in a mature and edible stage, a first reminder information is pushed to the user, wherein the first reminder information is used to remind the user to eat the food material.

[0088] If the maturity of the food material indicates that the food material is in an over-mature and inedible stage, a second reminder information is pushed to the user, wherein the second reminder information is used to remind the user to stop eating the food material.

[0089] Specifically, when the maturity of the food material indicates that the food material is in a mature and suitable for eating stage, the system automatically generates and pushes a first reminder information to the user device. The first reminder information is used to inform the user that the current food material has reached the optimal eating state, thereby reminding the user to eat in time to avoid missing the optimal tasting time. This reminder information can be delivered in various ways, including but not limited to mobile application push notifications, SMS reminders, voice assistant announcements, or smart device displays. When the maturity of the food material indicates that the food material is in an over-mature and unsuitable for eating stage, the system will generate and push a second reminder information to prompt the user that the food material may have exceeded the edible stage, and suggest stopping eating or taking necessary handling measures (such as discarding or using for other non-food purposes). This second reminder information can include a specific description of the state of the food material and may be accompanied by further handling suggestions to ensure that the user avoids eating expired or spoiled food materials.

[0090] It should be noted that the user can view the storage state and maturity of the food material in real time through the touch screen or APP of the refrigerator, and remotely adjust the settings of the refrigerator. The system records the storage data of the food material and the adjustment history of the environmental parameters, providing a basis for subsequent data analysis and system optimization.

[0091] In one embodiment, regarding the aforementioned first and second reminder messages, the system can choose a fixed time or a user-defined time to remind the user to eat food, remind the user to eat food within a preset time, or suggest that the user not eat food through the refrigerator controller. The system can also remind the user to eat food, remind the user to eat food within a preset time, or suggest that the user not eat food through text or other means on the refrigerator's control panel screen. The system can also remind the user to eat food, remind the user to eat food within a preset time, or suggest that the user not eat food through SMS or other means via an APP. This application embodiment does not specifically limit the manner of the first and second reminder messages.

[0092] In one embodiment, when the fan rotates in a first direction, the airflow direction of the air flowing through the adsorption layer is directed toward the opening of the curing space.

[0093] It is understandable that rotating the fan in the first direction directs the airflow through the adsorption layer toward the opening of the curing space, so that when the user opens the curing space, the odor in the curing space can be quickly detected by the user, allowing the user to quickly judge the state of the curing space.

[0094] like Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 This is a logic diagram of a refrigerator control method provided in one embodiment of this application. It may include, but is not limited to, steps S8001-S8004.

[0095] Step S8001: The value of the odor sensor is greater than or equal to the threshold.

[0096] Step S8002: The fan rotates in the second direction;

[0097] Step S8003: The value of the odor sensor is less than the threshold.

[0098] Step S8004: The fan stops rotating.

[0099] In one embodiment, when the value of the odor sensor in the maturation space is greater than or equal to a threshold, the fan rotates in a second direction, and the odor is adsorbed through the adsorption layer, while the unadsorbed odor is catalyzed through the catalytic layer; when the value of the odor sensor is less than the threshold, the fan stops rotating and no odor removal is performed.

[0100] like Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9 This is a logic diagram of a refrigerator control method provided in another embodiment of this application. It may include, but is not limited to, steps S9001-S9006.

[0101] Step S9001: The food is deemed mature and edible based on the food maturity indicator.

[0102] Step S9002: The food is deemed overcooked and inedible based on the food maturity indicator.

[0103] Step S9003: The user opens the mature space;

[0104] Step S9004: The fan rotates in the first direction to start the heating wire;

[0105] Step S9005: The user opens the mature space;

[0106] Step S9006: The fan rotates in the second direction or stops rotating.

[0107] In one embodiment, when the food's maturity level is detected as ripe and edible, the user is reminded to consume it. When the user opens the aging space, the fan rotates in a first direction and the heating wire is activated, instantly releasing the adsorbed odor so the user can perceive it. If the user does not consume it in time, the system intelligently switches to storage mode. During the edible period, when the user opens the aging space, the fan rotates in a second direction and heats the food to release the odor. When the food's maturity level is detected as overcooked and inedible, the heating wire is activated, and the fan rotates in a second direction or stops rotating, completely catalyzing and removing the odor from the adsorbed layer. When the user opens the door of the aging space during the inedible stage, no more odor will be released.

[0108] In one embodiment, a fan is installed inside the air duct. When the food's maturity is detected as overcooked and inedible, the heating wire is turned on, and the fan rotates in a second direction or stops rotating to completely catalyze and remove the odor from the adsorption layer. When the user opens the door of the maturation space during the inedible stage, no more odor will be released.

[0109] In one embodiment, a fan is installed inside the aging space. When the food's maturity is detected as overcooked and inedible, the heating wire is turned on, and the fan stops rotating, completely catalyzing and removing the odor from the adsorption layer. When the user opens the door of the aging space at the inedible stage, no more odor will be released.

In some embodiments, the memory 1020 can optionally include a memory 1020 remotely arranged relative to the processor 1010, and these remote memories 1020 can be connected to the controller 1000 through a network.
