DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0009] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0010] In the related art, as people's requirements for food storage quality and preservation effect are increasing, storage devices, especially those for fruit and vegetable food storage, have been widely used in modern families and commercial environments. The basic functions of these storage devices usually rely on environmental regulation methods such as temperature control, humidity regulation, and gas composition management to extend the preservation time of stored goods or control their ripening process. However, in the prior art, these storage devices still have many deficiencies in the flexibility and intelligence of storage strategies.

[0011] In a typical storage device, users need to manually adjust the temperature and humidity parameters, or select a fixed environmental control strategy through a preset storage mode. These strategies are usually limited to the "fresh-keeping mode" and lack refined management for different types of stored goods, maturity states, and user personalized needs. For example, for storing fruits, apples may require a low-temperature, low-oxygen environment to delay ripening, while bananas require specific temperature and humidity combined with ethylene concentration to accelerate ripening. However, existing devices are usually unable to provide flexible adjustment strategies for these differences, resulting in the stored goods being easily over-ripened or deteriorating in quality during the shelf life.

[0012] The core reason for the above problems is that the control systems of existing storage devices usually adopt static control logic and simple environmental adjustment strategies, lacking the ability to perceive the state of stored objects in real time and dynamically adjust the environment. This makes the storage devices unable to cope with the diversification of stored objects, dynamic changes in maturity, and users' personalized storage effects.

[0013] Therefore, in the prior art, in storage devices, there is a technical problem that the storage strategy for stored objects, especially fruits and vegetables, is not flexible enough.

[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a control method for a storage device, wherein the storage device includes at least one independent storage unit, the storage unit is used to store stored objects, and the storage unit is configured with an environment adjustment device to adjust the storage environment of the storage unit; the execution subject of the control method may be a controller, and the method may include: Step S12: receiving user instructions; wherein the user instructions are instructions for indicating the user's desired storage requirements.

[0015] In this embodiment, the receiving action can be represented as the controller receiving the user instruction based on the user's operation on the storage device. Specifically, the user's operation on the storage device can be the user's operation through a preset interactive interface. For example, the user operates through a touch screen interface outside the storage device to select a storage mode, set the type of storage, specify the storage time, etc., and the controller receives the instruction according to the user's touch operation.

[0016] The user's operation on the storage device may be a physical button operation. For example, the user operates through a physical button (button, knob) provided on the storage device to select a storage mode or adjust storage settings.

[0017] The user's operation on the storage device may be a voice recognition operation. For example, the user may give instructions to the storage device through voice input, for example, the user may say "store bananas in maximum freshness mode" or "set apples to fast ripening mode", and the controller may interpret and execute the corresponding operation through the voice recognition system.

[0018] The user's operation of the storage device may also be an operation of a mobile phone APP. For example, the user operates the control APP installed on the mobile phone to set the type, quantity, demand mode, etc. of the storage object, and the controller receives and processes the instructions from the APP through wireless communication.

[0019] In this embodiment, the storage requirement expected by the user may be: the storage requirement that the stored object has the longest fresh-keeping time. For example, the user expects the bananas stored in a storage unit to have the longest fresh-keeping time. Specifically, the user can select the "longest fresh-keeping time" mode in the operation interface through a touch screen or voice input, and the controller will control the environmental adjustment device to optimize the environmental conditions according to the requirement to ensure that the bananas can remain fresh for a long time.

[0020] In this embodiment, the storage requirement expected by the user may be: the storage requirement that the stored object is expected to have the best maturity when the preset storage time is reached. For example, the user expects the apples stored in a storage unit to have the best maturity after half a month. Specifically, the user can select the "optimal maturity" mode through the touch screen and specify the expected storage time. The controller will adjust the storage environment through the environment adjustment device so that the apples reach the best maturity at the specified time.

[0021] In this embodiment, the storage requirement expected by the user may be: the storage requirement that the user-defined stored object is expected to be at the optimal maturity when the preset storage time is reached. For example, the user sets the type and quantity of fruits stored in a storage unit and the time of consumption through the touch screen interface.

[0022] In this embodiment, the storage requirement desired by the user may also be: the requirement that the stored items are expected to mature in a short time. For example, the user stores some relatively hard bananas in the storage unit and hopes that they will mature quickly in a short time. The user can set the "accelerated ripening mode" through the interface, and the controller will automatically adjust the environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity to accelerate the ripening process of the bananas.

[0023] In this embodiment, the storage requirement desired by the user may also be: the requirement that the stored object maintains the best taste during storage. For example, the user wishes to store certain strawberries so that they maintain the best sweetness and vitamin C content during storage. The user may select the "maintain best taste mode". The controller will adjust the storage conditions according to the type and characteristics of the strawberries, such as controlling the oxygen concentration, temperature, humidity, etc., to ensure that the taste and nutritional components of the strawberries are not damaged during storage.

[0024] In this embodiment, the storage requirement desired by the user may also be: the requirement that the stored goods should maintain the best quality during storage. For example, the user stores a batch of tomatoes in a storage unit and hopes to maintain their best edible state during storage. At this time, the user does not care how long the tomatoes are stored, but only cares that the tomatoes always remain fresh and taste good. The user selects the "maintain best quality mode", and the controller automatically adjusts environmental factors such as temperature and humidity according to information such as the type and maturity of the stored goods to maintain the tomatoes in the best edible state.

[0025] In this embodiment, the independent storage unit means that the environment inside the storage unit is independently controlled.

[0026] In this embodiment, the storage device may have a plurality of independent storage units.

[0027] In this embodiment, the number of storage units of the storage device can be changed dynamically. For example, the storage device can be provided with a smart baffle, which can be raised or lowered to increase or decrease the number of the storage units. Specifically, the smart baffle can be raised or lowered according to user instructions. When raised, the smart baffle is lifted upward to form one or more independent storage units; when lowered, the smart baffle is lowered to reduce the number of storage units. Through the lifting and lowering of the smart baffle, the storage device can flexibly adjust the size and layout of the storage unit. For example, when the user needs more storage space, the smart baffle can be raised to increase the number of storage units; when a larger single storage space is needed, the baffle is lowered to merge multiple storage units. When the type or quantity of the stored objects changes, the smart baffle can automatically adjust the number or arrangement of the storage units according to demand. For example, if the user puts multiple fruits into the same storage unit, the smart baffle will reduce the number to form a larger storage space; if the user wants to store different types of fruits separately, the smart baffle will rise to add multiple independent storage units.

[0028] In this embodiment, the environment regulating device may be an oxygen regulating device. For example, the oxygen regulating device may be an oxygen-enriched membrane assembly. The oxygen regulating device may be a vent hole, a vent line, a control valve, and a vacuum pump disposed at the top of the storage unit.

[0029] It can be understood that the oxygen-enriched membrane assembly uses the selective permeability of the membrane material to separate the oxygen in the air and provide an oxygen-rich environment inside the storage unit. This membrane material can have a high oxygen permeability and can effectively adjust the oxygen concentration to ensure that the stored items are in an ideal environment. The vents and ventilation pipes are used to achieve the entry and exit of gas in the storage unit, which plays a role in regulating air circulation. By controlling the opening and closing of the vents and pipes, the concentration of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide in the storage unit can be accurately controlled to maintain a suitable storage environment. The control valve is used to control the switching state of the vents, pipes and other gas circulation equipment. By accurately controlling the inflow or discharge of gas, the gas composition in the storage unit can be adjusted to further optimize the storage environment. The vacuum pump is used to extract the air in the storage unit, reduce the oxygen concentration, and thus control the gas composition in the storage environment. The vacuum pump can efficiently discharge the gas in the storage unit, forming a low-oxygen or oxygen-free environment, and delaying the oxidation and respiration of the stored items. For some stored items with low oxygen requirements (such as certain fruits and vegetables, meat, etc.), a vacuum pump can help reduce the oxygen concentration in the storage unit, extend the shelf life of the stored items or control their maturity.

[0030] It is also understandable that respiration is the key driving force for fruit ripening. The stronger the respiration, the more oxygen the fruit consumes, producing carbon dioxide and heat, thereby accelerating its ripening process. When the oxygen concentration is too high, the respiration of the fruit will accelerate, resulting in too fast ripening, too fast changes in the sugar-acid ratio, and affecting the taste. Therefore, the oxygen concentration in the storage environment can be accurately controlled by the oxygen regulator. Reducing the oxygen concentration can effectively slow down the respiration of the fruit, thereby delaying its ripening process, extending the shelf life, maintaining the best ripening state of the fruit, and preventing the imbalance of the sugar-acid ratio caused by early ripening or over-ripening. In the storage mode where the shelf life needs to be extended, the oxygen regulator can reduce the oxygen concentration, slow down the respiration, and keep the fruit in a low-oxygen environment, thereby effectively delaying its ripening. Secondly, the sugar-acid ratio is a key indicator of the taste of the fruit. Usually, the sugar-acid ratio of the fruit fluctuates with the change of maturity. When ripe, the sugar-acid ratio of the fruit reaches the optimal level and the taste is the most delicious; but if the fruit is over-ripened or under-ripened, the sugar-acid ratio may not be ideal, affecting its taste. The oxygen regulator controls the respiration rate and ripening speed of the fruit by adjusting the oxygen concentration. For example, lowering the oxygen concentration can slow down the respiration and delay the ripening of the fruit, thereby keeping the sugar-acid ratio within the optimal range. In certain storage modes, such as tasting mode, the oxygen regulator can accurately adjust the ripening progress of the stored product by controlling the oxygen concentration, so that it reaches the optimal sugar-acid ratio at the time point set by the user (such as tasting), ensuring the best taste.

[0031] It is also understandable that users have different needs for stored goods, and have different needs for the same stored goods at different times. Sometimes users want to extend the shelf life of fruits, and sometimes users want to achieve optimal maturity at a specific time point. Therefore, the oxygen regulating device can flexibly adjust the oxygen concentration of the storage environment to meet different storage needs. For example, in the preservation mode, the oxygen regulating device will extend the shelf life of fruits by reducing the oxygen concentration and slowing down the respiration of fruits; while in the evaluation mode, the oxygen concentration can be adjusted to an appropriate level to promote the ripening of fruits, so as to achieve the optimal maturity and sugar-acid ratio at the time point set by the user, and ensure the optimization of the taste of the fruits.

[0032] In this embodiment, the environment adjustment device may also be a temperature control device. The temperature control device may include a temperature sensor, a heating or cooling device (a compressor and a heat exchanger). The temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature in the storage unit in real time and feed the data back to the controller. The controller controls the heating or cooling device to adjust the temperature in the storage unit.

[0033] Understandably, in the preservation mode, the temperature control device will maintain the temperature of the storage unit in a lower range to slow down the respiration of the fruit and extend the shelf life of the fruit. For example, the temperature may be adjusted to between 4°C and 6°C to accommodate the storage needs of most fruits. In the tasting mode, the temperature control device will adjust the temperature according to the type of fruit and the preset consumption time to ensure that the fruit reaches the optimal maturity. For example, some fruits such as bananas require higher temperatures (around 20°C) to mature faster, while lower temperatures (10°C) can delay the ripening process. In the custom mode, users can set specific storage time and storage types according to their needs, and the temperature control device will accurately control the temperature in the storage unit according to the user settings. For example, if the user wants to store a certain fruit to reach the optimal maturity at a specific time point, the system will automatically adjust the temperature according to the type of storage and the consumption time set by the user to ensure that the fruit is in an ideal state when eaten.

[0034] In this embodiment, the temperature control device may also be a fan. For example, the fan is used to help evenly distribute the temperature in the storage unit to avoid damage to the stored items due to uneven temperature. In this embodiment, the temperature control device may also be an electric heating element.

[0035] In this embodiment, the environment adjustment device may also be a humidity control device.

[0036] In this embodiment, the environment adjustment device may also be a gas composition adjustment device.

[0037] In this embodiment, the environment adjustment device may also be an airflow control device.

[0038] In this embodiment, the environment adjustment device may also be a light adjustment device.

[0039] In this embodiment, the controller may be a programmable logic controller (PLC).

[0040] In this embodiment, the controller may be an industrial computer (IPC).

[0041] In this embodiment, the controller may be an embedded microcontroller unit (MCU).

[0042] In this embodiment, the controller may be a digital signal processor (DSP).

[0043] Step S14: determining the status information of the storage objects in the target storage unit; wherein the target storage unit is the storage unit indicated by the user instruction, and the status information at least includes the type information and maturity information of the storage objects.

[0044] In this embodiment, the state information includes the type information and maturity information of the stored object. Specifically, the type information is information indicating the type of the stored object, such as vegetables, fruits or meat products, etc. Further, in the case where the stored object is fruit, the type information can further be the type of fruit, such as apples, bananas, oranges, etc.

[0045] In this embodiment, the maturity information may be expressed as information on the maturity stage or maturity degree of the current stored product, such as "not yet mature stage", "about to mature stage", "mature stage" and "over-mature stage".

[0046] In this embodiment, the maturity information can also be represented by specific quantitative indicators. For example, the sugar-acidity ratio, respiration rate, and ethylene concentration, etc. It can be understood that the sugar-acidity ratio reflects the maturity of the fruit by measuring the ratio between the sugar content and the acidity in the fruit. The respiration rate of the fruit is the rate at which the fruit consumes oxygen and produces carbon dioxide during the ripening process. The respiration rate can be used to judge the maturity of the fruit. When the respiration is strong, the fruit matures faster, and excessive respiration will cause the fruit to rot prematurely. Ethylene is a natural plant hormone produced during the fruit ripening process, and its concentration increases during the fruit ripening stage. The concentration of ethylene can reflect the maturity progress of the fruit.

[0047] In this embodiment, the maturity information may also be color change information.

[0048] In this embodiment, the determined action can be expressed as: the controller first collects image data and maturity measurement data of the storage objects in the target storage unit through a preset image acquisition device and a maturity acquisition device, respectively; then detects the type information of the storage objects based on the image data and a preset target detection model; finally, detects the maturity information of the storage objects based on the maturity measurement data and a preset maturity detection model.

[0049] Specifically, the controller collects image data of the stored object through a preset image acquisition device (e.g., a high-definition camera or a camera). The image acquisition device can be arranged on the top of the storage unit. The controller transmits the acquired image data to the target detection model (e.g., a convolutional neural network CNN model based on deep learning). The target detection model can be pre-trained by training data. The target detection model can output the type of stored object corresponding to the image data. For example, the type of fruit. Accordingly, the controller collects maturity measurement data through a preset maturity acquisition device (e.g., a near-infrared spectrometer or an ethylene sensor). The controller then inputs the maturity measurement data into the maturity detection model (e.g., a regression model, a decision tree model, or a deep learning model) to perform detection to obtain maturity information. For example, "unripe stage", "approaching maturity stage", "ripe stage" and "over-mature stage", etc. It can be understood that the maturity detection model can evaluate the current maturity state of the fruit based on the sugar-acid ratio, Brix value, and ethylene concentration (that is, maturity measurement data).

[0050] In this embodiment, the determined action can also be expressed as: parsing the user instruction to extract the type information and maturity information of the stored items carried in the user instruction. It is understandable that in some cases, the user can directly input the type information and maturity information of the stored items by operating the storage device, without the need for the storage device to perform detection. For example, the user selects the type of stored items, such as "apple" or "banana", on the control panel of the storage device through a touch screen or a voice assistant, and inputs the maturity of the stored items, such as "unripe stage", "about to mature stage" or "mature stage", etc. At this time, the storage device does not need to use image recognition or other sensors for automatic detection, but performs subsequent environmental adjustment control based on the manually input information provided by the user.

[0051] In this embodiment, the status information may also include the quantity information of the stored objects. For example, in the storage device, the user may manually input the quantity of stored fruits through the operation interface, such as "10 apples", "5 bananas", etc. Another way may be that the storage device automatically identifies and calculates the quantity of stored objects through a built-in sensor (weighing sensor or camera).

[0052] In this embodiment, the status information may also include weight information of the stored items.

[0053] In this embodiment, the status information may also include storage time information of the stored items.

[0054] Step S16: Based on the user instruction and the status information, the environment adjustment device corresponding to the target storage unit is controlled to execute a corresponding storage strategy to adjust the environment condition of the target storage unit.

[0055] In this embodiment, the storage strategy may include multiple adjustment instructions, which may correspond to different environmental adjustment devices. Specifically, the adjustment instructions may include temperature adjustment instructions, humidity adjustment instructions, oxygen concentration adjustment instructions, and light adjustment instructions. It is understood that the controller will continuously monitor the environmental parameters and the state of the stored items during the storage process, and further adjust the adjustment instructions according to the deviation.

[0056] In this embodiment, the storage strategy of the target storage unit can be dynamically generated based on the user instruction and the state information. Specifically, the controller can first parse the storage requirements according to the user instruction. The storage requirements can be: the storage requirements that the stored items are expected to have the longest fresh-keeping time. It can be the storage requirements that the stored items are expected to have the best maturity when the preset storage time is reached. It can also be the storage requirements that the user-defined stored items are expected to have the best maturity when the preset storage time is reached. It can also be the storage requirements that the stored items are expected to maintain the best taste during storage.

[0057] The controller then generates a storage strategy based on the storage requirements and in combination with the status information of the stored items. Specifically, the controller matches an adaptable storage model based on the storage requirements and the status information of the stored items (for example, the type information and maturity information of the stored items). It is understandable that the storage model can be a set of environmental parameter adjustment rules established in advance based on the physical, chemical and physiological characteristics of different stored items, as well as the storage requirements expected by the user. These storage models can preset the temperature, humidity, gas composition, and light parameters required for the stored items under optimal preservation, maturity or quality maintenance conditions. The controller then generates the above-mentioned storage strategy (multiple adjustment instructions) based on the ideal environmental parameters preset in the storage model.

[0058] Accordingly, in this embodiment, the controller can also determine the difference in environmental parameters based on the ideal environmental parameters and the current environmental parameters (environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and light collected in advance by sensors). For example, the temperature is too high and needs to be lowered, or the oxygen concentration is too high and needs to be lowered. Finally, the controller generates further adjustment instructions based on the difference in environmental parameters (that is, adjusts the adjustment instructions). The adjustment instructions can be temperature adjustment instructions, humidity adjustment instructions, oxygen adjustment instructions, and the like.

[0059] More specifically, the controller can match the storage model from a preset storage model library based on the storage demand and the state information of the stored object. The storage model library can include a basic model. The basic model can be the ideal environmental conditions for each stored object. For example, temperature range, humidity range, gas composition and light conditions, etc. The storage model library can also include dynamic adjustment rules. The dynamic adjustment rules can be adaptive adjustment rules for storage requirements at different maturity stages. For example, adjustment rules for the immature stage, adjustment rules for the accelerated maturity stage and adjustment rules for the best taste stage. The adjustment rule for the immature stage can be to reduce the temperature and oxygen concentration. The adjustment rule for the accelerated maturity stage can be to increase the temperature and moderately increase the ethylene concentration. The adjustment rule for the best taste stage can be to maintain conditions such as sugar-acid ratio and humidity. The storage model library can also include an optimization model under a specific storage target. The optimization model can be an optimization model under a fresh-keeping mode, an optimization model under a mature mode and an optimization model under a nutrient retention mode. The optimization model under the fresh-keeping mode can be to extend the storage time as much as possible and reduce corruption. The optimization model under the mature mode can be to achieve optimal maturity within a set time. The optimization model under this nutrition maintenance mode can be to maintain the stability of indicators such as vitamins and sugar-acid ratio.

[0060] In this embodiment, the controller can retrieve a matching storage model from a preset storage model library based on storage requirements and status information.

[0061] The control method of the storage device provided in this embodiment effectively solves the technical problem of insufficient flexibility of the storage strategy by flexibly adjusting the storage strategy of the stored objects according to the user's instructions. For the storage devices in the related art, their storage strategies are often single and cannot meet the diverse storage needs of the users, which leads to unsatisfactory storage effects of the stored objects. Through this embodiment, the storage device can determine the state information of the stored objects according to the user's expected storage needs, and automatically adjust the environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, oxygen concentration) of the storage unit in combination with the environmental adjustment device. This method enables the storage device to have higher flexibility and adaptability, and can provide the best storage environment for different stored objects, ensuring that the stored objects achieve the ideal preservation effect in the best state, meeting the personalized needs of the users, and improving the quality of the stored objects and the eating experience.

[0062] In some embodiments, the step of determining the status information of the storage object in the target storage unit includes: Step S142: The image data and maturity measurement data of the stored objects in the target storage unit are collected respectively by a preset image collection device and a maturity collection device.

[0063] In this embodiment, the image acquisition device may be a high-definition camera or a webcam.

[0064] In this embodiment, the maturity acquisition device may be a near-infrared spectrometer or an ethylene sensor.

[0065] Step S144: Based on the image data and a preset target detection model, detect the type information of the stored objects.

[0066] In this embodiment, the target detection model may be a convolutional neural network (CNN) model based on deep learning, a YOLO model, a Faster R-CNN model, and the like.

[0067] Step S146: Based on the maturity measurement data and the preset maturity detection model, the maturity information of the stored object is detected. In this embodiment, through the combination of the image acquisition device and the maturity acquisition device, the state information of the stored object in the target storage unit, including the type information and maturity information, can be accurately obtained. Through the processing of image data and maturity measurement data, combined with the preset target detection model and maturity detection model, the controller can automatically identify the type of stored objects and monitor their maturity changes in real time, thereby providing reliable data support for the dynamic adjustment of storage strategies. This method not only improves the automation and accuracy of state information acquisition, but also avoids errors caused by manual intervention.

[0068] In some embodiments, the environment regulating device at least includes an oxygen regulating device; the step of controlling the environment regulating device corresponding to the target storage unit to execute a corresponding storage strategy based on the user instruction and the status information includes: Step S162: Based on the user instruction and the status information, at least the oxygen adjustment device corresponding to the target storage unit is controlled to adjust the oxygen concentration in the target storage unit to comply with the corresponding storage strategy.

[0069] In this embodiment, the environment adjustment device may also include a temperature control device, a humidity control device, a gas composition adjustment device, an air flow control device, and the like.

[0070] Therefore, in this embodiment, based on the user instructions and the status information, the temperature control device, humidity control device, gas composition adjustment device and airflow control device corresponding to the target storage unit can be controlled to adjust the environmental parameters in the target storage unit to comply with the corresponding storage strategy.

[0071] This embodiment introduces an oxygen regulating device in the target storage unit, and combines user instructions with the state information of the stored goods to accurately adjust the oxygen concentration in the storage unit, thereby realizing dynamic adjustment of the storage environment. This control method can ensure that the oxygen concentration is always in the optimal range that matches the storage strategy, further improving the preservation effect or maturity control efficiency of the stored goods. For example, for fruits (apples, pears, etc.) that require a low oxygen environment, by accurately adjusting the oxygen concentration, their respiration can be effectively slowed down and the shelf life can be extended; while for fruits that need to accelerate maturity (such as bananas, tomatoes, etc.), the oxygen concentration can be increased or adjusted to an appropriate ethylene concentration to promote their maturity process. Through the oxygen regulating device, the controller can adaptively optimize the storage environment under different storage requirements, improve the quality of the stored goods, extend their shelf life, or reach the optimal maturity state within a set time, significantly improving storage efficiency and reducing losses.

[0072] In some embodiments, the storage device includes at least two independent storage units, and the storage device also includes a grabbing device, and the grabbing device is used to exchange the storage in one storage unit to another storage unit; after the step of detecting the status information of the storage in the target storage unit, the method further includes: Step S18: Based on the maturity information and type information, the gripping device is controlled to transfer the stored objects of the same type and the same or similar maturity to the same storage unit.

[0073] In this embodiment, the grasping device may include a robotic arm, which may be arranged on the top of the storage unit. It is understandable that the robotic arm may be configured with multiple joints and drive modules, and can realize multi-dimensional rotation, extension and grasping actions. In order to ensure accurate grasping and handling of stored objects, a grasping device, such as a suction cup, a clamp or an air suction device, may be configured at the end of the robotic arm. Accordingly, the grasping device may also include corresponding sensors and visual systems for accurately locating and identifying stored objects. The robotic arm can obtain the location, type and maturity information of the stored objects in real time. Combined with the maturity information and type information mentioned previously, the robotic arm can accurately grasp the stored objects from one storage unit and transfer them to another storage unit according to a predetermined storage strategy, ensuring that stored objects of the same type and similar maturity are stored together and optimizing the control of the storage environment.

[0074] In a specific implementation, after the controller determines the target storage unit and the storage objects that need to be exchanged, the controller can guide the robotic arm by calculating the optimal path (that is, generating a motion control signal). The robotic arm can accurately locate each storage object through sensors and visual systems to ensure the accuracy of grasping. According to the motion control signal, the robotic arm first grabs the storage objects to be transferred from the target storage unit, and then transfers them to the corresponding storage unit. The grasping process can be completed by suction cups or grippers to ensure that the storage objects are not damaged during transportation. Once the robotic arm completes the exchange, the controller can check the status of the target storage unit again to ensure that all storage objects of the same type and maturity have been exchanged to one unit, and perform subsequent environmental adjustments based on the new environmental information.

[0075] This embodiment realizes intelligent exchange of stored objects by introducing multiple independent storage units and grabbing devices, combined with maturity information and type information. This method can concentrate stored objects of the same type and similar maturity in the same storage unit according to the type and maturity status of the stored objects, thereby optimizing the management of the storage environment. Specifically, the grabbing device can prevent stored objects at different maturity stages from influencing each other in the same environment when the maturity of the stored objects varies greatly, ensuring that each type of stored object is under the best storage conditions. For example, for fruits that are ripening and fruits that have reached the best taste, through reasonable exchange operations, environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and oxygen concentration that are suitable for them can be set respectively, avoiding unnecessary interference in the ripening process and improving the quality and preservation effect of the stored objects. In addition, this exchange operation can also effectively avoid the waste of storage space, maximize the use of the capacity of the storage device, and improve the overall storage efficiency and resource utilization. By accurately controlling the distribution of stored objects and environmental regulation, this embodiment can effectively extend the shelf life of stored objects and reduce corruption losses. In some embodiments, the storage device includes at least two independent storage units, the user instruction is represented as an instruction indicating at least two storage units, and different storage units correspond to different storage requirements; the step of controlling the environment adjustment device corresponding to the target storage unit to execute the corresponding storage strategy based on the user instruction and the state information includes: Step S164: Based on the user instruction and the state information, independently generate a storage strategy for a target storage unit; wherein the storage strategies for different target storage units are at least partially different.

[0076] In this embodiment, the user can select a storage unit through the control panel provided by the storage device. For example, on the display screen interface, the user sees multiple independent storage units (e.g., unit A, unit B) of the storage device. The user clicks to select unit A and unit B, and sets storage requirements for each unit. For another example, for unit A, the user selects the "extend freshness period" mode through the interface. For unit B, the user selects the "accelerate ripening" mode. Accordingly, the user puts apples into unit A and bananas into unit B.

[0077] Based on the above user instructions and the determined state information, the controller can generate the following adjustment instructions (storage strategies) for unit A. For example, the temperature adjustment instruction: maintain the temperature at 5℃-8℃. The humidity adjustment instruction: 90%-95%. The oxygen concentration adjustment instruction: 1%-2%.

[0078] For unit B, the controller can generate the following adjustment instructions (storage strategies). For example, the temperature adjustment instruction: maintain the temperature at 20℃-25℃. The humidity adjustment instruction: 90%-95%. The oxygen concentration adjustment instruction: 5%-8%.

[0079] In this embodiment, the controller may independently generate a storage strategy for the target storage unit in the following manner.

[0080] The storage strategy may include multiple adjustment instructions, which may correspond to different environmental adjustment devices. Specifically, the adjustment instructions may include temperature adjustment instructions, humidity adjustment instructions, oxygen concentration adjustment instructions, and light adjustment instructions. It is understood that the controller will continuously monitor the environmental parameters and the state of the stored items during the storage process, and further adjust the adjustment instructions according to the deviation.

[0081] In this embodiment, the storage strategy of the target storage unit can be independently generated based on the user instruction and the state information. Specifically, the controller can first parse the storage requirements according to the user instruction. The storage requirements can be: the storage requirements that the stored items are expected to have the longest fresh-keeping time. It can be the storage requirements that the stored items are expected to have the best maturity when the preset storage time is reached. It can also be the storage requirements that the user-defined stored items are expected to have the best maturity when the preset storage time is reached. It can also be the storage requirements that the stored items are expected to maintain the best taste during storage.

[0082] The controller then generates a storage strategy based on the storage requirements and in combination with the status information of the stored items. Specifically, the controller matches an adaptable storage model based on the storage requirements and the status information of the stored items (for example, the type information and maturity information of the stored items). It is understandable that the storage model can be a set of environmental parameter adjustment rules established in advance based on the physical, chemical and physiological characteristics of different stored items, as well as the storage requirements expected by the user. These storage models can preset the temperature, humidity, gas composition, and light parameters required for the stored items under optimal preservation, maturity or quality maintenance conditions. The controller then generates the above-mentioned storage strategy (multiple adjustment instructions) based on the ideal environmental parameters preset in the storage model.

[0083] Accordingly, in this embodiment, the controller can also determine the difference in environmental parameters based on the ideal environmental parameters and the current environmental parameters (environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and light collected in advance by sensors). For example, the temperature is too high and needs to be lowered, or the oxygen concentration is too high and needs to be lowered. Finally, the controller generates further adjustment instructions based on the difference in environmental parameters (that is, adjusts the adjustment instructions). The adjustment instructions can be temperature adjustment instructions, humidity adjustment instructions, oxygen adjustment instructions, and the like.

[0084] Step S166: Independently control the environmental conditioning device to execute the corresponding storage strategy.

[0085] In this embodiment, the controller can independently control the environment adjustment device to execute the adjustment instructions generated by the controller.

[0086] This embodiment independently generates a storage strategy for each storage unit based on user instructions and status information, and controls the environmental adjustment device to perform corresponding operations, thereby accurately meeting the personalized needs of different storage objects. The storage strategy of each storage unit is independently adjusted according to factors such as the type and maturity of the storage object to ensure that the storage object is stored under the best environmental conditions. This not only improves the automation and flexibility of the storage process, but also optimizes the use of energy and storage space, reduces unnecessary environmental adjustments, and realizes efficient and intelligent storage management.

[0087] In some implementations, it is characterized in that the user instruction is at least one of a first mode instruction, a second mode instruction, and a third mode instruction; In the case where the user instruction is a first mode instruction, the step of independently generating a storage strategy of a target storage unit based on the user instruction and the state information includes: Step S1642: Based on the first mode instruction and the status information, generate a first storage strategy corresponding to a first target storage unit; wherein the first target storage unit is the storage unit indicated by the first mode instruction; and the first storage strategy is a strategy that maximizes the freshness of the stored items in the first target storage unit.

[0088] In this embodiment, the first mode may be a mode indicating that the stored items are expected to have the longest freshness preservation time.

[0089] In this embodiment, the controller can determine and select a storage model that can match the first target storage unit from the storage model library based on the first mode instruction and the state information. Then, based on the storage model (for example, it can be an environmental parameter adjustment rule set, in which ideal environmental parameters can be preset), a first storage strategy (multiple adjustment instructions) is generated. Specifically, the first storage strategy may include a temperature adjustment instruction to reduce the temperature. The first storage strategy may also include a temperature adjustment instruction to reduce the temperature. The first storage strategy may also include an oxygen concentration adjustment instruction to reduce the oxygen concentration.

[0090] In this embodiment, the environmental parameter difference can also be determined based on the ideal environmental parameters and the current environmental parameters (environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and light collected in advance by sensors). The controller generates further adjustment instructions based on the environmental parameter difference.

[0091] In the case where the user instruction is a second mode instruction, the step of independently generating a storage strategy of a target storage unit based on the user instruction and the state information includes: Step S1644: Based on the second mode instruction and the status information, generate a second storage strategy corresponding to the second target storage unit; wherein the second target storage unit is the storage unit indicated by the second mode instruction; the second storage strategy is a strategy that ensures that the storage in the second target storage unit has the optimal maturity when the preset storage time is reached.

[0092] In this embodiment, the second mode may be a mode indicating that the maturity of the desired stored object is optimal when the preset storage time is reached.

[0093] In this embodiment, the second storage strategy may include temperature adjustment instructions to lower the temperature in the initial stage of the storage time, to increase the temperature in the middle stage, and to maintain the temperature in the final stage.

[0094] In this embodiment, the second storage strategy may also include a humidity adjustment instruction to increase the humidity in the initial stage of the storage time and maintain the humidity in the middle stage and the final stage.

[0095] In this embodiment, the second storage strategy may further include an oxygen concentration adjustment instruction for reducing the oxygen concentration in the initial stage of the storage time and increasing the oxygen concentration in the middle stage and the final stage.

[0096] In the case where the user instruction is a third mode instruction, the step of independently generating a storage strategy of a target storage unit based on the user instruction and the state information includes: Step S1646: Based on the third mode instruction and the status information, generate a third storage strategy corresponding to a third target storage unit; wherein the third target storage unit is the storage unit indicated by the third mode instruction; the third storage strategy is a strategy that ensures that the user-defined storage items have the optimal maturity when the preset storage time is reached.

[0097] In this embodiment, the third mode may be a mode indicating that the user-defined stored items are expected to be at an optimal maturity when a preset storage time is reached.

[0098] This implementation method flexibly meets different storage needs by providing first mode instructions, second mode instructions, and third mode instructions, significantly improving the accuracy and efficiency of storage management. Based on user instructions and the status information of the stored objects, the system independently generates an optimization strategy for each target storage unit, so that the stored objects can achieve the longest freshness time, reach the best maturity within the preset time, or optimize the maturity state according to user-defined requirements. The design of independent management of multiple units ensures that different storage needs do not interfere with each other. Combined with the ability to automatically adjust environmental parameters, it significantly improves the quality control, operation efficiency, and storage benefits of stored objects, and meets the needs of diverse storage scenarios.

[0099] In some implementations, when the user instruction is a second mode instruction, the preset storage time may be predicted based on historical storage time data.

[0100] In this implementation, by predicting the preset storage time based on historical storage time data, the intelligence and accuracy of storage management are significantly improved. By using historical data to predict the maturity trend of stored goods under different environmental conditions, the controller can intelligently provide users with scientific and reasonable storage time suggestions to avoid premature maturity or poor preservation of stored goods due to human estimation errors.

[0101] This embodiment provides a storage device, the storage device comprising: At least one independent storage unit, the storage unit is used to store stored objects; wherein the storage unit is equipped with an independent environment adjustment device, the environment adjustment device is used to adjust the storage environment of the storage unit; A controller, wherein the controller is used to receive user instructions, wherein the user instructions are instructions for indicating the storage requirements desired by the user; and then determine the status information of the storage objects in the target storage unit, wherein the target storage unit is the storage unit indicated by the user instructions, and the status information includes at least the type information and maturity information of the storage objects; based on the user instructions and the status information, the controller controls the environment adjustment device corresponding to the target storage unit to execute the corresponding storage strategy to adjust the environmental conditions of the target storage unit.

[0102] This embodiment realizes accurate and personalized storage management of stored objects by providing independent storage units, environmental adjustment devices and intelligent controllers. By receiving user instructions, the controller can identify the user's storage needs, and dynamically generate storage strategies based on the state information (type information and maturity information) of the stored objects, and independently adjust the environmental conditions of the storage unit. This embodiment significantly improves the intelligence level of the storage device, prolongs the preservation time of stored objects, optimizes the storage effect, reduces losses, and has flexibility and efficiency.

[0103] In some embodiments, the storage device further comprises: An access port is provided on the surface of the storage device to enable a user to take out stored items.

[0104] In this embodiment, the access opening may be an electric sliding door. For example, the electric sliding door is driven by a motor, and the door body automatically slides open and closed.

[0105] In this embodiment, the access port can be a flip-type door. For example, the access port is set to an electric or manual flip structure, and the cover plate flips upward or outward to facilitate users to take things.

[0106] A grabbing device is arranged inside the storage device and at a position close to the access port, and is used to grab the stored objects in the storage unit and put them into the access port. In addition, when the storage device includes at least two independent storage units, the grabbing device is also used to exchange the stored objects of the same type and the same or similar maturity to the same storage unit based on the control instructions issued by the controller.

[0107] This embodiment realizes intelligent grabbing and delivery of stored items by providing an access port and a grabbing device, so that users can conveniently take out the required items without opening the entire storage device, thereby improving the convenience of user operation. In addition, when the storage device includes multiple independent storage units, the grabbing device can automatically classify and exchange stored items of the same type and the same or similar maturity based on the instructions of the controller, effectively optimizing the space utilization rate of the storage unit, ensuring that items with the same storage requirements are stored in a centralized manner, further improving the control effect of the storage environment, avoiding the cross-influence of items of different maturity, thereby extending the shelf life of the stored items, and improving the storage effect and user experience.

[0108] In some embodiments, the storage device further comprises: A lifting baffle is configured to be raised or lowered based on the user instruction or the status information to increase or decrease the number of the storage units.

[0109] This embodiment realizes the dynamic adjustment function of the number and size of storage units by setting a lifting baffle in the storage device. The lifting baffle can perform lifting or lowering actions according to user instructions or the status information of the stored objects, thereby flexibly adjusting the number and spatial layout of the storage units. This design effectively improves the adaptability and space utilization of the storage device, and can dynamically configure the storage space according to the changing needs of the stored objects, such as merging multiple small units into a large unit to store larger stored objects, or separating more small units to classify and store objects of different types or maturity.

[0110] In some embodiments, the storage device further comprises: A display device is arranged on the outer surface of the storage device and is in communication with the controller, and is used to display the type information and maturity information of the stored objects in the storage unit or the storage requirements expected by the user.

[0111] In this embodiment, the display device may be a liquid crystal display screen, an electronic ink screen, or an LED status indicator screen, etc.

[0112] In this embodiment, by setting a display device on the outer surface of the storage device, the user can intuitively understand the key information such as the type information, maturity information and storage requirements of the stored objects in the storage unit without opening the storage device. This not only effectively reduces the frequent opening and closing of the storage device, reduces the fluctuation of environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity, thereby extending the preservation time of the stored objects, but also greatly improves the user experience and operational convenience. In addition, the display device can communicate with the controller in real time, dynamically update the storage status, and help users make accurate decisions on taking objects, such as selecting the best maturity of stored objects or adjusting storage requirements, further realizing the intelligent and efficient management of the storage device.

[0113] In some embodiments, the environmental conditioning device comprises: A collection device is arranged on the top of the storage unit and is in communication connection with the controller, and is used for collecting image data, maturity measurement data of the stored objects in the storage unit or environmental information of the storage unit.

[0114] In this embodiment, the acquisition device may be a preset image acquisition device (e.g., a high-definition camera or a webcam). The image acquisition device may be arranged on the top of the storage unit. The controller transmits the acquired image data to a target detection model (e.g., a convolutional neural network (CNN) model based on deep learning). The target detection model may be pre-trained using training data. The target detection model may output the type of storage object corresponding to the image data. For example, the type of fruit.

[0115] In this embodiment, the acquisition device can be a preset maturity acquisition device (for example, a near-infrared spectrometer or an ethylene sensor). The maturity acquisition device can collect maturity measurement data. The controller then inputs the maturity measurement data into a maturity detection model (for example, a regression model, a decision tree model, or a deep learning model) to perform detection to obtain maturity information. For example, "not yet mature stage", "about to mature stage", "mature stage" and "over-mature stage" and so on. It can be understood that the maturity detection model can evaluate the current maturity state of the fruit based on the sugar-acid ratio, Brix value, and ethylene concentration (that is, the maturity measurement data).

[0116] An environmental control device is disposed on the top of the storage unit and is in communication connection with the controller, and is used for controlling the temperature, humidity or air composition in the storage unit.

[0117] The environmental control device may be a temperature control device. The temperature control device may include a temperature sensor, a heating or cooling device (a compressor and a heat exchanger). The temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature in the storage unit in real time and feed the data back to the controller. The controller controls the heating or cooling device to adjust the temperature in the storage unit.

[0118] Understandably, in the preservation mode, the temperature control device will maintain the temperature of the storage unit in a lower range to slow down the respiration of the fruit and extend the shelf life of the fruit. For example, the temperature may be adjusted to between 4°C and 6°C to accommodate the storage needs of most fruits. In the tasting mode, the temperature control device will adjust the temperature according to the type of fruit and the preset consumption time to ensure that the fruit reaches the optimal maturity. For example, some fruits such as bananas require higher temperatures (around 20°C) to mature faster, while lower temperatures (10°C) can delay the ripening process. In the custom mode, users can set specific storage time and storage types according to their needs, and the temperature control device will accurately control the temperature in the storage unit according to the user settings. For example, if the user wants to store a certain fruit to reach the optimal maturity at a specific time point, the system will automatically adjust the temperature according to the type of storage and the consumption time set by the user to ensure that the fruit is in an ideal state when eaten.

[0119] The temperature control device may also be a fan. For example, the fan is used to help evenly distribute the temperature in the storage unit to avoid damage to the stored items due to uneven temperature. In this embodiment, the temperature control device may also be an electric heating element.

[0120] In this embodiment, the environment control device may also be a humidity control device.

[0121] In this embodiment, the environment control device may also be a gas composition regulating device.

[0122] In this embodiment, the environment control device may also be an airflow control device.

[0123] In this embodiment, the environment control device may also be a light adjustment device.

[0124] This embodiment realizes accurate monitoring and dynamic control of the storage environment by setting a collection device and an environmental control device on the top of the storage unit. The collection device can obtain the image data, maturity information and environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, gas concentration) of the stored objects in real time, and transmit the data to the controller for analysis. The environmental control device automatically adjusts the environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and air composition of the storage unit according to the storage strategy generated by the controller to ensure that the stored objects are in the most suitable state. This design can not only meet the personalized storage needs of stored objects of different types and maturity, but also effectively extend the shelf life of stored objects, improve storage quality, and reduce energy consumption and loss of stored objects.

[0125] In some embodiments, the environmental control device comprises: at least one oxygen-enriched membrane assembly disposed on the top of the storage unit; An air extraction pipeline, one end of which is connected to the oxygen-enriched membrane assembly; An air pump, the air inlet end of which is connected to the other end of the air extraction pipeline; An exhaust pipeline has one end connected to the exhaust end of the vacuum pump and the other end provided with an exhaust port for exhausting the air in the storage unit.

[0126] This embodiment realizes precise control of the air composition in the storage unit by setting an oxygen-enriched membrane component, an exhaust pipeline, an exhaust pump and an exhaust pipeline. The oxygen-enriched membrane component can selectively separate and adjust the oxygen concentration. Combined with the exhaust pump and the pipeline system, it can effectively reduce or increase the oxygen content in the storage unit, and discharge unnecessary gases (carbon dioxide) at the same time, thereby adjusting the gas composition of the storage environment. This design can meet the personalized needs of different stored items for oxygen concentration. For example, by reducing the oxygen concentration, the respiration of fruits and vegetables can be slowed down, their ripening process can be delayed, and the shelf life can be extended; or by appropriately increasing the oxygen concentration, the ripening of specific items can be promoted. This dynamic and precise environmental control effectively improves the preservation effect and ripening control efficiency of stored items, while avoiding unnecessary energy waste, and further improving the intelligence and adaptability of the storage device.

[0127] In some embodiments, a control valve is provided in the air extraction pipeline and / or the air exhaust pipeline, and the control valve is communicatively connected with the controller for controlling the flow rate of air.

[0128] This embodiment realizes precise control of air flow by setting a control valve in the air extraction pipeline and / or the exhaust pipeline and communicating with the controller. The control valve can dynamically adjust the air inflow or discharge speed according to the state information of the stored objects and the storage requirements, so as to accurately control the oxygen concentration, humidity and other gas components in the storage unit. This design not only improves the flexibility and accuracy of storage environment adjustment, but also effectively prevents excessive fluctuations in environmental parameters and ensures that the stored objects are stored under optimal conditions. For example, by controlling the air flow, the ripening of fruits and vegetables can be delayed, the storage time can be optimized, or the ripening process of specific items can be accelerated, thereby improving the preservation effect, ripening control efficiency and overall storage quality of the stored objects, while reducing energy consumption and improving the intelligence level and applicability of the storage device.

[0129] In a possible embodiment, the storage device may be a refrigerator.

[0130] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, a fruit compartment can be provided in the refrigerator compartment of the refrigerator. The door panel can be provided with a large screen including and not only used for operating and setting the fruit compartment preservation mode and displaying the fruit storage status in the fruit compartment; a fruit taking opening is provided at the lower side of the door panel, and a grabbing and conveying device behind the fruit taking opening can convey the fruit selected by the user to the fruit taking opening, so that the user can directly take the fruit without opening the door.

[0131] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the fruit compartment drawer frame is provided with an electric switch. When the user needs to open the drawer to take out the fruit, the user needs to click the electronic switch, and the intelligent baffle in the fruit compartment will fall a certain distance to prevent the user from directly opening the drawer and damaging the drawer baffle and the top probe; 9 integrated probes are provided on the top of the drawer frame, and the probes are integrated with high-definition cameras, near-infrared probes and oxygen concentration sensors for identifying the fruits placed in the area, monitoring the sugar-acid ratio of the fruits and the regional oxygen content; at the same time, 9 oxygen-enriched membrane components are also provided on the top of the drawer frame, which are respectively connected to the vacuum pump exhaust port through the exhaust pipeline on the drawer frame, and 9 air vents are also provided on the top, which are directly connected to the vacuum pump exhaust port through the exhaust pipeline. Each pipeline is provided with a solenoid valve, and the gas composition of each area can be intelligently adjusted according to needs by controlling the opening and closing of the solenoid valve, so as to adjust the breathing intensity of the fruits stored in each area.

[0132] like Figure 6 As shown, a plurality of intelligent lifting baffles are arranged in the drawer. When the drawer is closed, the intelligent lifting baffles can divide the drawer into a plurality of closed compartments as required.

[0133] The specific control process can be: The fruit compartment can be set to fresh-keeping mode, tasting mode and custom mode according to user needs. When the user selects the fresh-keeping mode, the fruit compartment is closed and the probe identifies the type, quantity and sugar-acid ratio of the fruit in each area, and feeds back to the backend computing center to infer the maturity of each fruit. The robotic arm then grabs and classifies the fruit according to the type and estimated maturity.

[0134] After the classification is completed, run the vacuum pump and all oxygen-enriched membrane components, open all the exhaust pipeline solenoid valves on the top of the drawer frame, close all the exhaust pipeline solenoid valves, and exhaust the gas pumped out of the fruit cabin to reduce the oxygen content in all areas of the cabin.

[0135] The probe monitors the maturity of fruits in each area every 12 hours, and the fruits are grabbed and classified by a robotic arm. When the fruits stored in a certain area are at the best maturity, the relevant information is displayed on the large screen on the refrigerator panel, and a prompt sound is sounded intermittently to remind the user.

[0136] When the user selects the tasting mode, the fruit compartment is closed and the probe identifies the type, quantity and sugar-acid ratio of the fruit in each area, and feeds back to the background operation center to infer the maturity of each fruit. The robotic arm then grabs and classifies the fruit according to the type and estimated maturity.

[0137] The backend computing center infers the frequency T of the user's fruit consumption based on the user's usage habits.

[0138] Run the vacuum pump and some oxygen-enriched membrane components, open some of the exhaust pipe solenoid valves on the top of the drawer frame, and open some of the exhaust pipe solenoid valves to reduce the oxygen content in the area of ​​fruits that will be tasted later, increase the oxygen content in the area of ​​fruits that will be tasted earlier, and adjust the respiration intensity of the fruits that will be tasted earlier so that they are at the best maturity when users taste them.

[0139] The probe monitors the maturity of fruits in each area every 12 hours, and the fruits are grabbed and classified by a robotic arm.

[0140] When the user selects the custom mode, the user sets the tasting time and the type and quantity of fruit. After the fruit compartment is closed, the probe identifies the type, quantity and sugar-acid ratio of the fruit in each area, and feeds back to the backend computing center to estimate the maturity of each fruit. The robotic arm then grabs and classifies the fruit according to the type and estimated maturity.

[0141] Run the vacuum pump and some oxygen-enriched membrane components, and intelligently control the opening and closing of each solenoid valve directly according to the user's settings, so that each area can achieve the best maturity at the user-set time.

[0142] The probe monitors the maturity of fruits in each area every 12 hours, and the fruits are grabbed and classified by a robotic arm.
