Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of refrigerators, and in particular to a refrigerator preservation control method, system, electronic device and storage medium. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous improvement of living standards and dietary structure, people have higher and higher requirements for the freshness and long-term preservation of fruits and vegetables. They not only want fruits and vegetables to maintain their freshness, but also want to maximize the retention of nutrients in fruits and vegetables. Currently, controlled atmosphere preservation technology has become relatively common. Controlled atmosphere technology uses gas-controlled equipment to adjust the oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations in the fruit and vegetable drawer. By reducing the oxygen concentration in the storage environment and increasing the carbon dioxide concentration, it inhibits aerobic respiration of fruits and vegetables and the consumption of their own nutrients. Alternatively, a controlled atmosphere membrane (which allows oxygen to pass through and blocks nitrogen) is installed to maintain an atmosphere of nitrogen-rich and oxygen-poor gas in the refrigerator drawer, thereby achieving the purpose of fruit and vegetable freshness. The control mode of the controlled atmosphere preservation system in the existing technology is single and fixed. However, during actual use by users, the storage amount of fruits and vegetables varies, which will cause the overall transpiration intensity of fruits and vegetables to change. At the same time, the requirements for oxygen concentration for preserving different types of fruits and vegetables are also different. Moreover, this technical solution only adjusts the nitrogen and oxygen in the refrigerator through the controlled atmosphere membrane, and does not consider the impact of other factors on the preservation effect. It is also impossible to make detailed and accurate adaptive adjustments based on the changes in the nitrogen concentration in the refrigerator, and thus cannot achieve a good preservation effect.
[0003] With regard to the problem of poor fresh-keeping effect of refrigerators in related technologies, no effective solution has been proposed so far. Summary of the Invention

If so, turn on the nitrogen filling device to replenish nitrogen to the target container; wherein the fresh-keeping mode is a mode of replenishing nitrogen to the target container by controlling the operation of the nitrogen filling device.
[0016] In some embodiments, detecting whether an object is placed in a target container includes:
[0017] Determine whether the change rate of the target container temperature within a preset time period is greater than a preset change rate threshold,

[0038] In this embodiment, a refrigerator freshness control method is provided. Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the refrigerator freshness control method of this embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:
[0039] Step S201: When it is detected that an object is placed in a target container, the target container is cooled.
[0040] Specifically, to better preserve food, existing refrigerators include a sealed container within the refrigerator compartment. Nitrogen is added to the sealed container to reduce the oxygen concentration within the container, thereby improving food preservation. One or more sealed containers can be provided. This embodiment uses one sealed container as the target container for explanation. When an object is detected and placed into the target container, it affects the temperature inside the target container, causing a transient increase in the temperature of the local area. First, the temperature increase in the target container accelerates the spoilage of food, thus affecting the freshness of the food in the refrigerator. Second, the temperature change in the target container directly affects the density of the gas. From a microscopic perspective, when the temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules increases, the gas molecules move faster, and the collisions between gas molecules become more frequent. Due to the intensified thermal motion of the gas molecules, the average distance between gas molecules increases, making the space occupied by the gas in the target container appear more "full." Within a fixed space, the mass of the gas remains unchanged, but the gas molecule density decreases. When the temperature decreases, the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules decreases, the gas molecules move slower, and the collision frequency decreases. Due to the slowed thermal motion of the gas molecules, the average distance between gas molecules decreases. Within a fixed space, the mass of the gas remains unchanged, resulting in an increase in the gas molecule density. Therefore, in a target container of the same volume, at low temperatures, the gas density is higher, more nitrogen can be filled, and the proportion of oxygen is smaller, thus achieving better freshness preservation. Therefore, in this embodiment, during the refrigerator preservation process, after detecting that an object has been placed in a target container, the air inlet behind the target container can be opened to deliver cold air from the refrigerated compartment to the target container to cool the target container. Alternatively, when the temperature in the refrigerated compartment is high, the compressor can be simultaneously turned on to cool the refrigerated compartment, and then the cold air can be delivered to the target container to cool the target container. Alternatively, the fan in the refrigerated compartment can be operated to accelerate the entry of cold air into the target container. The method for cooling the target container in this embodiment is not specifically limited and can be set according to actual needs. The cooling process improves the ability to subsequently replenish nitrogen, increases the nitrogen content that can be accommodated in the sealed container, and improves the preservation effect of the target container.
[0041] Step S202, obtaining the real-time temperature and oxygen concentration parameter values of the target container;
[0042] When the real-time temperature is less than or equal to the preset temperature threshold, the cooling process for the target container is stopped, and the corresponding operation strategy of the nitrogen filling equipment is executed according to the oxygen concentration parameter value obtained by detection, so that the nitrogen filling equipment replenishes nitrogen to the target container.
[0043] Specifically, a temperature sensor is used to detect the real-time temperature of the target container. The temperature sensor can be a thermocouple, a thermistor, or a non-contact type such as an infrared temperature sensor. In this embodiment, an infrared temperature sensor is used to detect the real-time temperature of the target container. The specific selection can be made based on actual conditions and is not specifically limited in this embodiment. Simultaneously, an oxygen monitoring sensor is used to detect the oxygen concentration parameter value within the target container. Different oxygen concentration parameter values correspond to different current signals.
[0044] Specifically, the target container is cooled. Cooling the target container is stopped when the detected real-time temperature of the target container is less than or equal to a preset temperature threshold. Generally, the temperature of the refrigerator's refrigerated compartment is set between 2°C and 8°C. This embodiment takes into account the fact that the cooling process provides a buffering effect on the temperature, and the temperature difference between the target container and the refrigerated compartment should not be too large to prevent the target container's temperature from affecting the refrigerated compartment. Therefore, the target temperature is set within ±2°C of the refrigerated compartment temperature, that is, between 4°C and 10°C. Therefore, when the detected real-time temperature of the target container reaches between 4°C and 10°C, cooling the target container is stopped. The nitrogen filling and preservation phase begins.
[0045] Furthermore, the primary cause of food spoilage is oxidation reactions with oxygen in the air. In modern food preservation technology, Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is a method that precisely controls the gas composition within packaging to extend the shelf life of food. Devices that inhibit food oxidation by adding nitrogen to the refrigerator are commonly referred to as "controlled atmosphere" or "oxygen-controlled freshness preservation technology." This technology adjusts the atmosphere within the refrigerator, primarily reducing the oxygen content and increasing the nitrogen content, to slow food metabolism and microbial activity, thereby extending food's shelf life. Another technology, nitrogen freshness-locking technology, leverages nitrogen's chemical inertness by injecting it into food packaging to isolate the food from the air, effectively preventing the invasion of oxygen, water vapor, and microorganisms, thereby preserving the food's original taste, color, and nutritional value. These technologies all achieve freshness preservation by controlling the gas environment within the refrigerator. By reducing oxygen and increasing nitrogen, they inhibit food oxidation, thereby extending food's shelf life.
[0046] In this embodiment, a MAP assembly is used as a nitrogen filling device to replenish nitrogen to the target container. The MAP assembly includes components such as an air pump, a fan, a molecular sieve, a solenoid valve, and a throttle ring. After the preservation system is started, the air pump starts working to compress the external air. The compressed air first passes through a filter to remove dust and impurities, and then passes through a drying device to remove moisture, ensuring that the gas entering the target container is clean and dry. The clean and dry air then passes through the molecular sieve assembly, which is used to separate nitrogen and oxygen in the air. Due to its chemical inertness, nitrogen can effectively replace oxygen in the container and reduce the possibility of food oxidation. The separated nitrogen is mixed with other gases that may be added (such as carbon dioxide and rare gases) to form a gas mixture suitable for food preservation. The mixed gas is precisely injected into the target container under the control of the solenoid valve. The throttle ring is used to control the speed and pressure of gas injection to ensure that the gas is evenly filled into every corner of the target container. In this embodiment, the operating strategy of the MAP component is determined by the oxygen concentration parameter value in the target container obtained by detection. The higher the oxygen concentration parameter value, the larger the duty cycle of the air pump in the MAP component is controlled, thereby accelerating the speed of nitrogen replenishment.
[0047] Through the above steps S201 to S202, after detecting that an object has been placed in the target container, the target container is cooled; the real-time temperature and oxygen concentration parameter value of the target container are obtained; when the real-time temperature is less than or equal to a preset temperature threshold, the cooling of the target container is stopped, and the corresponding nitrogen filling device operation strategy is executed based on the detected oxygen concentration parameter value, so that the nitrogen filling device replenishes nitrogen to the target container. Compared with the current method of maintaining a nitrogen-rich and oxygen-depleted gas atmosphere in the refrigerator drawer by providing a modified atmosphere membrane (which passes oxygen and blocks nitrogen), this embodiment, after detecting that an object has been placed in the target container, first cools the target container to a preset temperature value, and then executes the corresponding nitrogen filling device operation strategy based on the detected oxygen concentration parameter value to replenish nitrogen to the target container. The first cooling of the target container allows more nitrogen to be added to the same target container volume during the subsequent nitrogen replenishment process, thereby achieving a lower oxygen concentration and achieving a better preservation effect. Different nitrogen filling strategies are executed according to different oxygen concentration parameter values, thereby improving control accuracy and solving the problem of poor freshness preservation effect in current refrigerators.
[0048] In some embodiments, when it is detected that there is no object in the target container, the nitrogen filling device is controlled to remain in a closed state.
[0049] The current MAP assembly operates manually. Due to the large number of components and complex connections within the MAP assembly, its operating time is fixed at 40 minutes, with an interval of no less than 8 hours between activations. Furthermore, the MAP assembly is configured to continuously detect and replenish nitrogen, without taking into account the presence of objects within the target container. This embodiment, while simultaneously considering energy conservation and functional operation, does not activate the nitrogen filling device when it is detected that the target container is empty, i.e., when the target container is empty, regardless of the oxygen concentration, and instead remains in a closed state to reduce resource consumption.
[0050] In another embodiment, executing an operation strategy of a corresponding nitrogen filling device according to the oxygen concentration parameter value obtained by detection includes:
[0051] Determine the oxygen concentration range based on the oxygen concentration parameter value.
[0052] The duty cycle of the nitrogen filling device's air pump is matched in real time based on the oxygen concentration range, so that the nitrogen filling device's air pump operates according to the real-time matched duty cycle to replenish nitrogen to the target container. The oxygen concentration range is divided into a first range, a second range, a third range, a fourth range, and a fifth range. The first range is defined as follows: the oxygen concentration parameter value < a first preset value; the second range is defined as follows: the first preset value ≤ the oxygen concentration parameter value ≤ the second preset value; the third range is defined as follows: the second preset value ≤ the oxygen concentration parameter value ≤ the third preset value; the fourth range is defined as follows: the third preset value ≤ the oxygen concentration parameter value ≤ the fourth preset value; and the fifth range is defined as follows: the fourth preset value ≤ the oxygen concentration parameter value ≤ the fifth preset value.
[0053] Specifically, the oxygen monitoring sensor outputs different current signals depending on the oxygen concentration in the environment. The current signal range is designed to be between 0mA and 1mA. Generally, the current signal output by an oxygen monitoring sensor in sleep mode is ≤0.5mA, and the current signal output in working mode is between 0.5mA and 1mA. Based on the 0.5mA-1mA range of the current signal output in the working module, the oxygen concentration is further subdivided into five concentration ranges. Among them, the first preset value is set to 0.6mA, the second preset value is set to 0.7mA, the third preset value is set to 0.8mA, the fourth preset value is set to 0.9mA, and the fifth preset value is set to 1mA. The current signals corresponding to different oxygen concentration intervals are: first interval: (0.5mA-0.6mA]; second interval: (0.6mA~0.7mA]; third interval: (0.7mA~0.8mA]; fourth interval: (0.8mA~0.9mA]; fifth interval: (0.9mA~1mA]; each oxygen concentration interval sets a specific duty cycle of the air pump of the nitrogen filling equipment, and the duty cycles are 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% respectively. According to the interval in which the oxygen concentration parameter value obtained by the detection is located, the corresponding duty cycle is selected to execute the nitrogen filling equipment for nitrogen filling. For example, when the oxygen detection When the sensor detects a high oxygen concentration, its current signal reaches 1mA, triggering the air pump to operate at a 100% duty cycle to quickly reduce the oxygen concentration. Conversely, if the oxygen concentration is low, the oxygen monitoring sensor outputs a smaller current signal, reaching 0.55mA. At this point, the air pump operates at a 20% duty cycle, preventing overfilling while saving energy. As the oxygen concentration continues to decrease and the output current signal continues to decrease, falling below 0.5mA, the air pump stops, and the nitrogen filling system stops filling. During this process, the oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen concentration in the target container in real time. The air pump's duty cycle is dynamically controlled based on the detected oxygen concentration parameter values, thereby precisely controlling the nitrogen filling system's operation, improving its efficiency, preventing overfilling, reducing unnecessary energy waste, and conserving energy.
[0054] In one embodiment, before executing the corresponding operation strategy of the nitrogen filling equipment according to the oxygen concentration parameter value obtained by the detection so that the nitrogen filling equipment replenishes nitrogen to the target container, the method further includes:
[0055] Determine whether the time since the last end of the fresh-keeping mode of the nitrogen filling device is greater than a preset time interval. If so, turn on the nitrogen filling device to replenish nitrogen to the target container; wherein the fresh-keeping mode is a mode of replenishing nitrogen to the target container by controlling the operation of the nitrogen filling device.
[0056] Specifically, when an object is placed in the target container and the target container is cooled to a preset temperature threshold, in order to prevent the nitrogen generator from being frequently started and causing damage to the equipment, a time interval parameter is set before the oxygen concentration of the target container is detected and the nitrogen generator is started to fill with nitrogen. This parameter is used to define the minimum rest time of the nitrogen filling equipment between two fresh-keeping modes. The time interval can be set based on the performance of the equipment, the material of the container and historical usage data. Check whether the time from the last fresh-keeping mode end of the nitrogen generator exceeds the preset time interval of 4 hours. If it exceeds 4 hours, nitrogen is filled according to the set nitrogen filling equipment operation strategy. If it does not exceed 4 hours, wait until it exceeds 4 hours before starting the nitrogen generator. The fresh-keeping mode is the process of replenishing nitrogen to the target container by starting the nitrogen filling equipment, that is, the nitrogen filling equipment is in working mode.
[0057] In some other embodiments, detecting whether an object is placed in a target container includes:
[0058] Determine whether the change rate of the target container temperature within a preset time period is greater than a preset change rate threshold,
[0059] If so, it is confirmed that there is an object placed in the target container.
[0060] Specifically, an object placed in a target container will rapidly heat up within a short period of time. The temperature of the object in the target container is detected by a red-dot infrared temperature sensor as the target container temperature. The temperature change is determined by the rate of change of the target container temperature within a preset time period. For example, the initial real-time temperature T0 of the target container is detected, followed by the real-time temperature T1 of the target container three seconds later. The temperature difference between the temperature T1 three seconds later and the initial real-time temperature T0 is calculated to obtain a temperature change difference ΔT. A determination is then made as to whether this temperature change difference ΔT is greater than or equal to a preset temperature difference. The preset temperature difference can be set based on actual conditions and is not specifically limited in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the temperature difference is set to 10°C. When the calculated temperature change difference ΔT is greater than or equal to 10°C, it is determined that an object has been placed in the target container. Otherwise, it is not considered that an object has been placed, and the temperature increase is determined to be caused by other factors, and the target container is not cooled.
[0061] This embodiment also provides a refrigerator freshness control method. Figure 3 This is a flow chart of another refrigerator freshness control method of this embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the process includes the following steps:
[0062] Step S301, determine whether there is an object in the target container, if so, execute step S302, otherwise, execute step S309;
[0063] Step S302, determining whether there is an object placed in the target container, if so, executing step S303, otherwise, executing step S309.
[0064] Step S303, cooling the target container;
[0065] Step S304, obtaining the real-time temperature TD and oxygen concentration parameter value a of the target container;
[0066] Step S305 , determining whether the real-time temperature TD of the target container is less than or equal to a preset temperature threshold TC; if so, executing step S306 ; otherwise, returning to executing step S303 ;
[0067] Step S306, stopping the cooling process for the target container;
[0068] Step S307, determining whether the time interval between the nitrogen production equipment and the last start-up of nitrogen production exceeds a preset interval time, if so, executing step S308, otherwise executing step S309;
[0069] Step S308, dynamically matching the corresponding duty cycle according to the oxygen concentration parameter value a obtained by real-time detection to control the start of the air pump of the nitrogen production equipment, and filling the target container with nitrogen until the oxygen concentration parameter value a is less than the working threshold of the oxygen detection sensor, then stopping the operation of the air pump and stopping nitrogen filling.
[0070] Step S309: Control the nitrogen filling equipment to remain in a closed state.
[0071] Through steps S301 to S309, compared to the current practice of maintaining a nitrogen-rich, oxygen-depleted atmosphere within a refrigerator drawer by installing a modified atmosphere membrane (which passes oxygen and blocks nitrogen), this embodiment first cools the target container after detecting the presence of an object in the target container. This cooling allows more nitrogen to be added to the same target container volume during subsequent nitrogen replenishment, thereby achieving a lower oxygen concentration and better preservation. After the target container temperature drops to a preset value, an oxygen monitoring sensor detects the oxygen concentration parameter value within the target container. Based on the detected real-time oxygen concentration parameter value, the duty cycle of different levels is dynamically matched to control the operation of the nitrogen generator's air pump, filling the target container with nitrogen for freshness preservation, thereby resolving the current problem of poor freshness preservation in refrigerators. Furthermore, if the absence of an object or the presence of an object in the target container is detected, the nitrogen generator is controlled to remain in a stopped state, saving energy and reducing the wear of nitrogen generator component parts.
