[0049] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0050] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0051] Reference to "embodiments" in this application means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described in this application may be combined with other embodiments.

[0052] The storage device in the embodiment of the present application can be understood as a refrigeration storage device in a broad sense, including but not limited to refrigerators, freezers, display cabinets, beverage cabinets, wine cabinets, fresh-keeping cabinets, refrigerated vending machines and other refrigeration storage devices. The storage device has various structural forms and a wide range of applications.

[0053] It is worth noting that the storage device in the embodiment of the present application can be a vending machine, the temperature of the compartment of the vending machine can be lower than 0 degrees Celsius. In some embodiments, the temperature of the compartment of the vending machine can be -5°C to -30°C, such as -25°C. The vending machine is used to sell frozen items, such as ice cream and ice cubes.

[0054] Different ingredients have different requirements for storage temperature. Currently, the storage devices on the market are unable to automatically control the optimal temperature for various types of ingredients. Users often need to manually set the temperature of the storage devices according to the needs of different ingredients. This is less convenient and the operation is cumbersome.

[0055] In addition, the voice interaction function of existing storage devices is often limited by the limitations of command recognition, resulting in a low level of smoothness in the user's interactive experience. Due to the low level of perfection of the database of food storage information, storage devices are unable to automatically manage the storage temperature of food.

[0056] In order to solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a storage device and a control method of the storage device. The storage device and the control method of the storage device provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0057] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of the storage device provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the storage device 1 includes: a box body 10, a compressor 20, a fan 30, an interaction device 40 and a controller 50.

[0058] It is easy to understand that the box body 10 is provided with a plurality of independent storage compartments, and each storage compartment is provided with a corresponding temperature control device, which can adjust the temperature of the corresponding storage compartment.

[0059] For example, the box body 10 has a total of six independent storage compartments, each storage compartment stores a type of food, and each storage compartment is equipped with an independent temperature control device.

[0060] The compressor 20 is arranged in the box body 10. The compressor 20 is one of the key components in the storage device 1 and is usually driven by electricity. The main function of the compressor 20 is to absorb the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas and compress it into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas, and send it to the condenser in the storage device to provide power for the refrigeration cycle.

[0061] The compressor 20 can release heat and transfer the heat to the environment outside the refrigeration device during the process of compressing the refrigerant gas. The operation of the compressor 20 will cause the storage device to heat up.

[0062] The fan 30 is disposed in the housing 10 and is used to transport the cold air generated by the evaporator to the corresponding storage room. The fan 30 may include a condensing fan and an evaporating fan.

[0063] Optionally, a condensing fan is usually installed on the condenser to help the condenser dissipate heat. When the refrigerant passes through the condenser, the condensing fan blows outside air across the surface of the condenser, prompting the refrigerant to dissipate heat and changing the refrigerant gas from a high-temperature and high-pressure state to a high-pressure liquid state. The operation of the condensing fan will cause the storage equipment to heat up.

[0064] Optionally, an evaporative fan is usually installed on the evaporator. It can circulate air in the refrigeration cycle and blow air across the surface of the evaporator, causing the refrigerant to absorb heat and evaporate into a gaseous state. The evaporative fan helps maintain air flow inside the evaporator, thereby ensuring that the refrigerant on the surface of the evaporator can absorb enough heat and transfer it to the refrigeration cycle. The operation of the evaporative fan will cool the storage equipment.

[0065] It is easy to understand that the interaction device 40 is used to obtain the food information stored by the user and the information of the target storage compartment corresponding to the food information, and send the food information and the information of the target storage compartment to the controller 50.

[0066] Optionally, the ingredient information includes the type of ingredient.

[0067] Optionally, the ingredient information includes the type of ingredient and the quantity of the ingredient.

[0068] Optionally, the food information includes the type of food and the suitable temperature for storing the food.

[0069] For example, green vegetables should be stored at low temperatures (not less than 0°C). If the temperature exceeds 40°C, the chlorophyllase contained in them will separate the chlorophyll from the protein and dissipate. If the temperature is below 0°C, the chlorophyll will be destroyed by refrigeration.

[0070] Optional, the suitable storage temperature for cabbage, celery, onion and carrot is about 0℃, the best temperature for potato is 2℃~4℃. If the temperature is too low, the potatoes will sprout and affect the consumption. The suitable storage temperature for cucumber, eggplant and tomato is 7.2℃~10℃. If the temperature is too low, they will lose their freshness and even rot in severe cases. Pumpkin should be stored above 10℃. The best storage temperature for sweet potato is above 15℃. If the temperature is low, the heart will become hard and inedible.

[0071] Optionally, the temperature during the banana harvest season is about 30℃, and the temperature needs to be lowered to about 13℃ when storing; the storage temperature of oranges is 4℃~5℃; the storage temperature of apples is -1℃~4℃; mangoes are 10℃~13℃; papayas are 7℃; the temperature of lychees is 7℃~10℃, and lychees are not suitable for storage in storage equipment.

[0072] Optionally, meat, such as pork and beef, should be kept in an environment of -18°C to better preserve the integrity of the cell walls and help maintain moisture. If refrigerated at -2°C to 5°C, meat can be stored for up to one week.

[0073] Optionally, the target storage room information includes an identification or number of the target storage room. Optionally, the storage device box is provided with a plurality of independent storage rooms, each storage room is independently numbered, such as freezer room 1, freezer room 2, refrigerator room 3, etc.

[0074] Optionally, the target storage room information includes the location of the target storage room.

[0075] Optionally, the interaction device 40 includes at least one of a touch screen arranged on the door of the storage device, an image recognition device arranged on the door of the refrigeration device, and a voice recognition device arranged on the door of the refrigeration device.

[0076] It is easy to understand that the controller 50 is used to obtain the storage temperature of the corresponding target food from the database according to the food information of the storage device, and send a control instruction to the temperature control device of the target storage compartment of the storage device. The control instruction carries the storage temperature of the target food of the storage device, so that the temperature of the target storage compartment of the storage device reaches the storage temperature of the target food.

[0077] The temperature control device of the target storage compartment of the storage device is used to respond to the storage device control instruction and control the temperature of the target storage compartment of the storage device to reach the storage temperature of the target food of the storage device.

[0078] The storage device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a box body, a compressor, a fan, an interactive device and a controller. The box body is provided with a plurality of independent storage compartments, and each storage compartment is provided with a corresponding temperature control device. The food information stored by the user and the information of the target storage compartment corresponding to the food information are obtained through the interactive device, and the food information and the information of the target storage compartment are sent to the controller. The controller obtains the storage temperature of the corresponding target food from the database according to the food information, and sends a control instruction to the temperature control device of the target storage compartment. The control instruction carries the storage temperature of the target food, so that the temperature of the target storage compartment reaches the storage temperature of the target food. The interactive device can realize independent temperature control of the target food placed in the target storage compartment, thereby extending the storage time and freshness of the target food and improving the user experience and convenience.

[0079] In one embodiment of the present application, the temperature control device includes: a control unit, a temperature sensor and a damper, wherein the temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the storage compartment, and the control unit is used to control the opening and closing of the damper according to the temperature of the storage compartment to control the amount of cold air entering the storage compartment, and close the damper when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature of the storage compartment reaches a set temperature.

[0080] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the temperature control device provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2As shown, the temperature control device 2 includes a control unit 201, a temperature sensor 202 and a damper 203. The temperature sensor 202 is used to detect the temperature of the storage room. The control unit 201 is used to control the switch of the damper 203 according to the temperature of the storage room. The cold air generated by the compressor is transported to the storage room through the fan and the air duct. The control unit 201 controls the switch of the damper 203 to realize the amount of cold air entering the refrigerating room, so as to control the amount of cold air entering the storage room. When the temperature sensor 202 detects that the temperature of the storage room reaches the set temperature, the damper 203 is closed to stop the air supply. When the temperature drops to the set temperature, the damper 203 is opened to supply cold air.

[0081] Optionally, the temperature control device 2 includes a control unit, a temperature sensor and a micro switch.

[0082] It is easy to understand that the temperature control device 2 converts the change of the controlled temperature into the change of pressure or volume in the closed space through the temperature bag and capillary tube of the closed temperature-sensitive working medium. When the set temperature is reached, the micro switch or damper 203 is automatically opened and closed through the elastic element and the fast instantaneous mechanism, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic temperature control.

[0083] In the above technical solution, the temperature control device detects the temperature of the storage compartment through a temperature sensor, and controls the opening and closing of the damper according to the temperature of the storage compartment through a control unit. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature of the storage compartment reaches the set temperature, the damper is closed, thereby realizing independent temperature control of the target food placed in the target storage compartment, extending the storage time and freshness of the target food, and improving the user experience and convenience.

[0084] In one embodiment of the present application, each of the storage compartments is also provided with an ultraviolet sterilization device, which is arranged at the air inlet of each of the storage compartments and is used to purify the cold air entering the storage compartment when the damper is opened.

[0085] It is easy to understand that each storage room is also equipped with an ultraviolet sterilization device, which is set at the air inlet of each storage room. When the air door is opened, the ultraviolet sterilization device is started to purify the cold air entering the storage room.

[0086] It should be noted that an ultraviolet disinfection device with an ultraviolet wavelength in the range of 240 to 280 nm can be used to destroy the molecular structure of deoxyribonucleic acid or ribonucleic acid in bacteria and viruses, causing growth cell death and regenerative cell death, thereby achieving the effect of sterilization and disinfection.

[0087] Optionally, an ultraviolet sterilization device with an ultraviolet wavelength of 253.7 nm may be used.

[0088] In the above technical solution, by installing an ultraviolet sterilization device in each storage room, the food in the storage room can be sterilized, thereby extending the storage time and freshness of the target food and improving the user experience and convenience.

[0089] In one embodiment of the present application, the interaction device includes a voice recognition device for identifying the food information stored by the user and the information of the target storage compartment corresponding to the food information through voice interaction.

[0090] It is easy to understand that the interaction device includes a voice recognition device, which starts voice interaction after detecting the user's voice signal, and recognizes the food information stored by the user and the information of the target storage compartment corresponding to the food information through voice interaction.

[0091] For example, there are a total of six independent storage rooms that support voice recognition devices, which are numbered from 1 to 6. The user determines the numbered position of the storage room where the food is stored during the voice interaction process.

[0092] It is easy to understand that speech recognition is a pattern recognition based on speech feature parameters. That is, through learning, the system can classify the input speech according to a certain pattern, and then find the best matching result based on the judgment criteria.

[0093] Optionally, the voice recognition device includes components such as a microphone, an amplifier and a signal processing circuit. The user can input voice through the microphone. After receiving the user's voice input, the voice recognition device performs voice recognition. The signal processing circuit converts the voice into text and can retain characteristic information of the voice itself such as speaking speed, volume, pauses, etc. Then, through natural language understanding, the user's ingredients to be saved and the storage room where the ingredients are stored are understood from the text, and the storage temperature of the corresponding ingredients is determined by querying the ingredient storage database. Finally, the result is generated as text to be replied to the user, and then the text replied to the user is converted into voice through speech synthesis and sent to the user.

[0094] Figure 3 This is one of the flow charts of a storage device control method provided in the present application. As shown in FIG3 , the storage device control method includes step 310 , step 320 , step 330 , step 340 and step 350 .

[0095] Step 310: The user interacts with the storage device through the interaction device;

[0096] Step 320: The storage device identifies the type of food that the user wants to store;

[0097] Step 330: If the storage device does not recognize the type of food that the user wants to store, interact with the user again through the interaction device;

[0098] Step 340: the storage device retrieves the storage temperature of the target food from the database;

[0099] Step 350: The storage device adjusts the temperature of the storage compartment according to the storage temperature of the target food.

[0100] In the above technical solution, the food information stored by the user and the information of the target storage compartment corresponding to the food information are determined through voice recognition, and the temperature of the target storage compartment corresponding to the food information can be adjusted according to the food information stored by the user. Independent temperature control of the food in the storage compartment can be achieved, which extends the storage time and freshness of the food and improves the user experience and convenience.

[0101] In one embodiment of the present application, the interaction device includes an image recognition device for determining the food information stored by the user and the information of the target storage compartment corresponding to the food information through image recognition.

[0102] It is easy to understand that the image recognition device may include at least one of a camera, an image sensor, and a laser radar.

[0103] Optionally, when the image recognition device is a camera, the camera can be used to collect food information stored by the user and information of the target storage compartment corresponding to the food information.

[0104] It should be noted that when the image recognition device is a camera, the type of camera can be selected by comprehensively considering cost and performance. For example, the camera is an infrared camera, which can detect the heat of the goods, is not affected by light, and can work in the absence of light; or, the camera is a panoramic camera with a wider angle of view, which helps to accurately locate the position of the goods in the refrigeration device; or, the camera is a high-definition camera that can provide higher resolution and clearer images.

[0105] In the above technical solution, the food information stored by the user and the information of the target storage compartment corresponding to the food information are determined through image recognition, and the temperature of the target storage compartment corresponding to the food information can be adjusted according to the food information stored by the user. Independent temperature control of the food in the storage compartment can be achieved, which extends the storage time and freshness of the food and improves the user experience and convenience.

[0106] In one embodiment of the present application, the interactive device includes a voice recognition device and an image recognition device, the food information stored by the user is obtained through the voice recognition device, and the information of the target storage compartment corresponding to the food information is obtained through the image recognition device, or the food information stored by the user is obtained through the image recognition device, and the information of the target storage compartment corresponding to the food information is obtained through the voice recognition device.

[0107] Optionally, the interaction device may include a voice recognition device and an image recognition device. The food information stored by the user is obtained through the voice recognition device (such as a microphone), and the information of the target storage compartment corresponding to the food information is obtained through the image recognition device (such as a camera).

[0108] Optionally, the interaction device may include a voice recognition device and an image recognition device. The food information stored by the user is obtained through the image recognition device (such as a camera), and the information of the target storage compartment corresponding to the food information is obtained through the voice recognition device (such as a microphone).

[0109] In the above technical solution, different forms of interactive devices provide a variety of user interaction methods, allowing users to choose the interaction method that suits them best, which can better adapt to the needs and habits of different users, provide more convenient, intelligent and humane services, and realize independent temperature control of food in the storage room, thereby extending the storage time and freshness of the food and improving the user experience and convenience.

[0110] In one embodiment of the present application, each of the storage compartments is used to store one food ingredient.

[0111] It is easy to understand that since different ingredients have different storage temperatures, each storage room is used to store one ingredient. For example, there are a total of six independent storage rooms that support voice recognition devices, which are numbered 1 to 6. Storage room 1 stores crayfish, storage room 2 stores tomatoes, storage room 3 stores cherries, storage room 4 stores ice cream, storage room 5 stores crabs, and storage room 6 stores yogurt.

[0112] In the above technical solution, each storage compartment is used to store one kind of food, and independent temperature control can be achieved when the food is placed in the storage compartment, thereby extending the storage time and freshness of the food and improving the user experience and convenience.

[0113] In one embodiment of the present application, when it is identified that the target storage compartment stores multiple ingredients, the interactive device is further used to output a first voice prompt message, wherein the first voice prompt message is used to prompt the user that the target storage compartment stores only one ingredient.

[0114] It is easy to understand that when it is identified that a variety of ingredients are stored in the target storage room, if the storage temperatures of different ingredients are very different, some ingredients will decay faster, affecting the storage time and freshness of the ingredients.
