Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of electrical technology, and in particular relates to a control method, a control device and an electronic device for a storage device. Background Art

[0002] Common storage equipment mostly uses air cooling technology, which achieves the purpose of refrigeration by running the compressor to generate cold air and the fan to transport cold air. In the related art, the control method of the storage equipment mainly relies on the external temperature, the internal compartment temperature and the gear adjustment to control the operation of the compressor and the fan, but does not fully consider the presence of users around the storage equipment. When there are users around, the noise performance of the storage equipment is poor, which directly affects the user experience. In order to improve this situation, a control method is needed that can adjust the operating parameters of the storage equipment according to the presence of users around the storage equipment to reduce noise. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present application aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the related art. To this end, the present application proposes a control method, a control device and an electronic device for a storage device, which can reduce the noise generated by the operation of the storage device when there is a human body around the storage device, thereby optimizing the noise performance of the storage device.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a method for controlling a storage device, the method comprising:

[0005] Determine whether there is a human body around the storage device through a human body sensing device;

[0006] When it is determined that there is a human body around the storage device, the operating parameters of the storage device are adjusted to reduce the noise generated by the operation of the storage device. The operating parameters of the storage device include: power on / off points, fan speed and compressor speed.

[0007] In the above technical scheme, whether there is a human body around the storage device is determined by a human body sensing device. When it is determined that there is a human body around the storage device, the operating parameters of the storage device are adjusted, specifically including adjusting the power on and off points, fan speed and compressor speed, so as to reduce the noise generated during the operation of the storage device. The operating parameters of the storage device are adjusted according to the presence of users around the storage device, and the noise generated by the operation of the storage device can be reduced when there is a human body around the storage device, thereby optimizing the noise performance of the storage device.

[0008] According to an embodiment of the present application, adjusting the operating parameters of the storage device includes:

[0009] Raising the on / off point of the storage device;

[0010] According to the increased on / off point of the storage device, the fan speed and the compressor speed of the storage device are adjusted.

[0011] In the above technical solution, by raising the power on and off points of the storage equipment and adjusting the fan speed and compressor speed according to the power on and off points of the storage equipment, the operation time of the storage equipment is shortened, thereby reducing the duration of the noise generated by the operation of the storage equipment and optimizing the noise performance of the storage equipment.

[0012] According to an embodiment of the present application, adjusting the fan speed and the compressor speed of the storage device according to the increased power on / off point of the storage device includes:

[0013] Determining whether the storage device satisfies the shutdown logic according to the increased power-on and power-off points of the storage device;

[0014] When the storage device satisfies the shutdown logic, controlling the fan of the storage device and the compressor of the storage device to shut down;

[0015] In the case that the storage device does not satisfy the shutdown logic, the fan speed of the storage device is reduced, and the fan speed of the storage device after the reduction is not lower than the first speed.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the power on and off points of the storage device are adjusted upward, and whether the storage device meets the shutdown logic is determined based on the adjusted power on and off points. When the storage device meets the shutdown logic, the fan and compressor of the storage device are controlled to shut down. When the storage device does not meet the shutdown logic, the fan speed of the storage device is lowered, thereby reducing the noise generated by the operation of the storage device and optimizing the noise performance of the storage device.

[0017] According to an embodiment of the present application, after lowering the fan speed of the storage device, the method further includes:

[0018] When it is determined that the door of the storage device is opened, the speed of the compressor of the storage device is reduced.

[0019] In the above technical solution, when it is determined that the door of the storage device is opened, the speed of the compressor of the storage device is lowered, thereby reducing the noise generated by the storage device when the door is open and optimizing the noise performance of the storage device.

[0020] According to an embodiment of the present application, after lowering the speed of the compressor of the storage device, the method further includes:

[0021] Acquiring the presence time of a human body through the human body sensing device, and controlling the storage device to operate in a normal mode when the presence time of the human body exceeds a first time;

[0022] Alternatively, the human body sensing device is used to obtain the time duration of the human body being away, and when the time duration of the human body being away exceeds a second time duration, the storage device is controlled to operate in a normal mode;

[0023] Alternatively, the duration for which the door of the storage device is continuously opened is obtained, and when the duration for which the door of the storage device is continuously opened is greater than a third duration, the storage device is controlled to operate in a fault mode.

[0024] In the above technical scheme, the presence time of the human body is obtained through the human body sensing device, and when the presence time of the human body exceeds the first time period, the storage device is controlled to operate in normal mode; or the absence time of the human body is obtained through the human body sensing device, and when the absence time of the human body exceeds the second time period, the storage device is controlled to operate in normal mode; or the duration that the door of the storage device is continuously opened is obtained, and when the door of the storage device is continuously opened for more than the third time period, the storage device is controlled to operate in fault mode, which improves the flexibility of controlling the storage device, realizes dynamic control of the storage device according to the presence of human bodies around the storage device, optimizes the noise performance of the storage device, and reduces the impact on the cooling effect of the storage device.

[0025] According to an embodiment of the present application, after lowering the fan speed of the storage device, the method further includes:

[0026] When it is determined that the door of the storage device is not opened,

[0027] Acquiring the presence time of a human body through the human body sensing device, and controlling the storage device to operate in a normal mode when the presence time of the human body exceeds a first time;

[0028] Alternatively, the human body sensing device is used to obtain the time duration of the human body being away, and when the time duration of the human body being away exceeds a second time duration, the storage device is controlled to operate in a normal mode.

[0029] In the above technical scheme, the presence time of the human body is obtained through the human body sensing device, and when the presence time of the human body exceeds the first time, the storage device is controlled to operate in normal mode, or the absence time of the human body is obtained through the human body sensing device, and when the absence time of the human body exceeds the second time, the storage device is controlled to operate in normal mode. This realizes dynamic control of the storage device according to the presence of the human body around the storage device, optimizes the noise performance of the storage device, and reduces the impact on the cooling effect of the storage device.

[0030] In a second aspect, the present application provides a control device for a storage device, the device comprising:

[0031] A human body sensing module is used to determine whether there is a human body around the storage device through a human body sensing device;

[0032] The control module is used to adjust the operating parameters of the storage device to reduce the noise generated by the operation of the storage device when it is determined that there is a human body around the storage device. The operating parameters of the storage device include: power on / off point, fan speed and compressor speed.

[0033] In the above technical scheme, the control device of the storage device determines whether there is a human body around the storage device through a human body sensing module. When it is determined that there is a human body around the storage device, the operating parameters of the storage device are adjusted, specifically including adjusting the power on and off points, fan speed and compressor speed, so as to reduce the noise generated during the operation of the storage device. The operating parameters of the storage device are adjusted according to the presence of users around the storage device, and the noise generated by the operation of the storage device can be reduced when there is a human body around the storage device, thereby optimizing the noise performance of the storage device.

[0048] 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.

[0049] 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.

[0050] The control method, control device and electronic device of the storage device provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0051] The storage device in this embodiment 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.

[0052] The control method of a storage device provided in an embodiment of the present application may be executed by an electronic device or a functional module or functional entity in the electronic device that can implement the control method of the storage device. The electronic devices mentioned in the embodiment of the present application include but are not limited to controllers in storage devices, processors in storage devices, edge servers, backend servers, cloud servers, mobile phones, tablet computers, computers, cameras and wearable devices, etc. The control method of a storage device provided in an embodiment of the present application is described below using an electronic device as an example of an execution subject.

[0053] Figure 1 This is one of the flow charts of the control method of the storage device provided in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the storage device includes: step 110 and step 120.

[0054] Step 110: Determine whether there is a human body around the storage device through a human body sensing device.

[0055] It should be noted that the human body sensing device can be implemented using a variety of technologies, including but not limited to: infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, microwave sensors, cameras, etc. The human body sensing device can detect and sense the activities or presence of human bodies around the storage device, thereby triggering subsequent control of the storage device.

[0056] It is understandable that when the human body sensing device senses the presence or absence of a human body around the storage device, it will send a corresponding signal. These signals can be transmitted to the cloud server or the user's mobile device through wireless communication technologies such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth for processing and storage, or they can be directly processed locally by the controller or processor in the storage device. Optionally, based on the signal sent by the human body sensing device, the length of time a human body exists around the storage device or the length of time a human body does not exist around the storage device is calculated and recorded. These duration data can be used to implement more complex control logic, such as delayed response, etc., which improves the flexibility of the control method of the storage device.

[0057] Step 120: When it is determined that there is a human body around the storage device, the operating parameters of the storage device are adjusted to reduce the noise generated by the operation of the storage device. The operating parameters of the storage device include: power on / off point, fan speed, and compressor speed.

[0058] It is understandable that, when it is determined that there are human bodies around the storage equipment, the noise generated by the operation of the storage equipment can be effectively reduced by adjusting the on / off point, fan speed and compressor speed of the storage equipment. The on / off point refers to the temperature threshold at which the storage equipment starts or stops cooling, that is, the temperature threshold at which the compressor of the storage equipment starts or stops running. Proper adjustment of the on / off point helps reduce the frequent start and stop of the equipment, thereby effectively reducing the noise generated by the operation of the storage equipment;

[0059] The fan is a component used to accelerate the flow of air in the storage device, which helps the refrigerant absorb or release heat more effectively. Adjusting the speed of the fan affects the speed and strength of the air flow inside the storage device. Lowering the fan speed can reduce the noise generated by its operation and the noise generated by the air flow.

[0060] The compressor (also called a press) is used to compress the refrigerant to realize the refrigeration cycle. During the operation of the compressor, vibration and noise will be generated. Lowering the speed of the compressor can reduce vibration and noise.

[0061] In the above technical scheme, whether there is a human body around the storage device is determined by a human body sensing device. When it is determined that there is a human body around the storage device, the operating parameters of the storage device are adjusted, specifically including adjusting the power on and off points, fan speed and compressor speed, so as to reduce the noise generated during the operation of the storage device. The operating parameters of the storage device are adjusted according to the presence of users around the storage device, and the noise generated by the operation of the storage device can be reduced when there is a human body around the storage device, thereby optimizing the noise performance of the storage device.

[0062] In one embodiment of the present application, adjusting the operating parameters of the storage device includes:

[0063] Raising the on / off point of the storage device;

[0064] According to the increased on / off point of the storage device, the fan speed and the compressor speed of the storage device are adjusted.

[0065] It is understandable that the on / off point of the storage device is the temperature threshold at which the storage device starts or stops cooling, that is, the temperature threshold at which the compressor used for cooling in the storage device starts (turns on) or stops (turns off). When the temperature inside the storage device rises to a certain set temperature value (for example, the temperature inside the storage device rises to the set temperature + 1°C), the compressor is controlled to start and the storage device starts cooling; when the temperature inside the storage device drops to a certain set temperature value (for example, the temperature inside the storage device drops to the set temperature -1°C), the compressor is controlled to stop running and the storage device stops cooling.

[0066] Raising the on / off point of the storage device means raising the temperature threshold for the storage device compressor to start or stop running, so that the compressor starts less frequently to reduce noise. For example, when the internal temperature of the storage device rises to the set temperature + 2°C, the compressor is controlled to start and the storage device starts to cool; when the internal temperature of the storage device drops to the set temperature, the compressor is controlled to stop running and the storage device stops cooling.

[0067] In the case of storage equipment cooling (the internal temperature of the storage equipment is higher than the temperature threshold corresponding to the on / off point), raising the on / off point can reduce the time required for the internal temperature of the storage equipment to reach the newly set temperature threshold, so that the storage equipment compressor can be shut down earlier, shortening the operation time of the storage equipment compressor, thereby reducing the duration of the noise generated by the operation of the storage equipment;

[0068] When the storage device is in the state of stopping cooling (the internal temperature of the storage device is not higher than the temperature threshold corresponding to the power on and off point), raising the power on and off point can delay the time for the internal temperature of the storage device to reach the newly set threshold, so that the storage device will reach the conditions for starting cooling later as the internal temperature gradually rises, causing the storage device compressor to start later, shortening the operating time of the storage device compressor, thereby reducing the duration of the noise generated by the operation of the storage device.

[0069] It is understandable that after raising the on / off point of the storage device, the fan speed and compressor speed need to be adjusted accordingly. The start and stop of the compressor are directly affected by the on / off point, and the fan is used to accelerate the air flow in the storage device, and its speed adjustment needs to be coordinated with the compressor speed.

[0070] In the above technical solution, by raising the power on and off points of the storage equipment and adjusting the fan speed and compressor speed according to the power on and off points of the storage equipment, the operating time of the storage equipment compressor is shortened, thereby reducing the duration of the noise generated by the operation of the storage equipment and optimizing the noise performance of the storage equipment.

[0071] In one embodiment of the present application, adjusting the fan speed and the compressor speed of the storage device according to the increased power on / off point of the storage device includes:

[0072] Determining whether the storage device satisfies the shutdown logic according to the increased power-on and power-off points of the storage device;

[0073] When the storage device satisfies the shutdown logic, controlling the fan of the storage device and the compressor of the storage device to shut down;

[0074] In the case that the storage device does not satisfy the shutdown logic, the fan speed of the storage device is reduced, and the fan speed of the storage device after the reduction is not lower than the first speed.

[0075] It can be understood that the shutdown logic refers to the logical rules that comprehensively determine whether the storage device can stop running based on factors such as the current operating status, internal temperature, power on / off points, and external environmental conditions of the storage device.

[0076] In some embodiments, whether the storage device satisfies the shutdown logic is determined by comparing the internal temperature of the storage device with the power on and off point of the storage device. Specifically, when the internal temperature of the storage device is not higher than the power on and off point, the storage device is considered to meet the shutdown logic; when the internal temperature of the storage device is higher than the power on and off point, the storage device is considered to not meet the shutdown logic.

[0077] When the storage device meets the shutdown logic, it can be considered that the storage device does not need to continue cooling, so the fan and compressor of the storage device can be controlled to shut down (i.e. stop working) to reduce the noise generated by the operation of the storage device;

[0078] When the storage device does not meet the shutdown logic, it can be considered that the storage device still needs to continue cooling. However, when there are people around the storage device, the fan speed of the storage device is lowered to reduce the noise generated by the operation of the storage device while the storage device continues to cool.

[0079] It is understandable that too low a speed may cause the fan efficiency to decrease, affecting the normal air flow and cooling effect of the storage device. In addition, the fan running at too low a speed may cause motor overheating or other mechanical problems, so the fan speed of the storage device is set to have a first speed as a lower limit. Optionally, when a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal is used to adjust the fan speed, the duty cycle corresponding to the first speed is 35%, and the duty cycle corresponding to the change in the fan speed each time is reduced is 20%.

[0080] In the above technical solution, the power on and off points of the storage device are adjusted upward, and whether the storage device meets the shutdown logic is determined based on the adjusted power on and off points. When the storage device meets the shutdown logic, the fan and compressor of the storage device are controlled to shut down. When the storage device does not meet the shutdown logic, the fan speed of the storage device is lowered, thereby reducing the noise generated by the operation of the storage device and optimizing the noise performance of the storage device.

[0081] In one embodiment of the present application, after lowering the fan speed of the storage device, the method further includes:

[0082] When it is determined that the door of the storage device is opened, the speed of the compressor of the storage device is reduced.

[0083] It is understandable that the door of the storage device is an important component of the sound insulation of the storage device. When the door of the storage device is opened, the sound insulation barrier originally provided by the door is destroyed, causing the noise inside the storage device to be more easily transmitted to the external environment. Therefore, when it is determined that the door of the storage device is opened, the speed of the compressor of the storage device is lowered to reduce the noise generated by the operation of the compressor.

[0084] In some embodiments, sensors are installed inside or on the door of the storage device to determine the open state of the door in real time. When the sensor senses that the door of the storage device is open or closed, a corresponding signal is sent. These signals can be transmitted to a cloud server or a user's mobile device via wireless communication technologies such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth for further processing and storage, or they can be directly processed locally by a controller or processor in the storage device. Optionally, the duration that the door of the storage device is continuously opened is calculated and recorded based on the signal sent by the sensor, which is used to implement more complex control logic, thereby improving the flexibility of the control method of the storage device.

[0085] In the above technical solution, when it is determined that the door of the storage device is opened, the speed of the compressor of the storage device is lowered, thereby reducing the noise generated by the storage device when the door is open and optimizing the noise performance of the storage device.

[0086] In one embodiment of the present application, after lowering the speed of the compressor of the storage device, the method further includes:

[0087] Acquiring the presence time of a human body through the human body sensing device, and controlling the storage device to operate in a normal mode when the presence time of the human body exceeds a first time;

[0088] Alternatively, the human body sensing device is used to obtain the time duration of the human body being away, and when the time duration of the human body being away exceeds a second time duration, the storage device is controlled to operate in a normal mode;

[0089] Alternatively, the duration for which the door of the storage device is continuously opened is obtained, and when the duration for which the door of the storage device is continuously opened is greater than a third duration, the storage device is controlled to operate in a fault mode.

[0090] It can be understood that the human presence duration refers to the duration of the presence of a human body around the storage device detected by the human body sensing device. When the human presence duration exceeds the preset first duration, it is considered that the user has stayed in front of the storage device for a long time. If the noise of the storage device is continuously controlled by the control method of the storage device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the cooling effect of the device may be affected. Therefore, the storage device is controlled to operate in normal mode to restore the cooling effect of the storage device. Optionally, the first duration is set to 7 minutes.

[0091] The human body absence time refers to the time duration confirmed by the human body sensing device that there is no human body around the storage device. When the human body absence time exceeds the preset second time duration, it is considered that the user has left the vicinity of the storage device. Since the user is no longer around the storage device, there is no need to control the noise of the storage device through the storage device control method provided in the embodiment of the present application. Therefore, the storage device is controlled to operate in normal mode to restore the cooling effect of the storage device. Optionally, the second time duration is set to 30 seconds to achieve delayed control of the storage device.

[0092] It will be appreciated that in normal mode the storage device operates according to standard operating parameters and logic.

[0093] It is understandable that if the door is continuously opened for more than the third time period, it is considered that the storage device may have a fault or the user has not closed the door for a long time. At this time, the storage device is controlled to operate in a fault mode. In the fault mode, the storage device will take specific measures, such as reducing power consumption, sounding an alarm or suspending operation, to protect the device from damage, and remind the user or maintenance personnel to check and handle it.

[0094] In the above technical scheme, the presence time of the human body is obtained through the human body sensing device, and when the presence time of the human body exceeds the first time period, the storage device is controlled to operate in normal mode; or the absence time of the human body is obtained through the human body sensing device, and when the absence time of the human body exceeds the second time period, the storage device is controlled to operate in normal mode; or the duration that the door of the storage device is continuously opened is obtained, and when the door of the storage device is continuously opened for more than the third time period, the storage device is controlled to operate in fault mode, which improves the flexibility of controlling the storage device, realizes dynamic control of the storage device according to the presence of human bodies around the storage device, optimizes the noise performance of the storage device, and reduces the impact on the cooling effect of the storage device.

[0095] In one embodiment of the present application, after lowering the fan speed of the storage device, the method further includes:

[0096] When it is determined that the door of the storage device is not opened,

[0097] Acquiring the presence time of a human body through the human body sensing device, and controlling the storage device to operate in a normal mode when the presence time of the human body exceeds a first time;

[0098] Alternatively, the human body sensing device is used to obtain the time duration of the human body being away, and when the time duration of the human body being away exceeds a second time duration, the storage device is controlled to operate in a normal mode.

[0099] It is understandable that when the door of the storage device is not opened, there is no need to obtain the length of time the door is continuously opened, and the storage device will not be controlled based on this condition, thereby avoiding unnecessary control operations on the storage device.

[0100] In the above technical scheme, the presence time of the human body is obtained through the human body sensing device, and when the presence time of the human body exceeds the first time, the storage device is controlled to operate in normal mode, or the absence time of the human body is obtained through the human body sensing device, and when the absence time of the human body exceeds the second time, the storage device is controlled to operate in normal mode. This realizes dynamic control of the storage device according to the presence of the human body around the storage device, optimizes the noise performance of the storage device, and reduces the impact on the cooling effect of the storage device.

[0101] Figure 2 This is a second flow chart of a method for controlling a storage device provided in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the control method of the storage device includes: step 200, step 210, step 220, step 230, step 240, step 250, step 260, step 270, step 280 and step 290.

[0102] Step 200: Determine whether there is a human body around the storage device through a human body sensing device.

[0103] It should be noted that the human body sensing device can be implemented using a variety of technologies, including but not limited to: infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, microwave sensors, cameras, etc. The human body sensing device can detect and sense the activities or presence of human bodies around the storage device, thereby triggering subsequent control of the storage device.

[0104] It is understandable that when the human body sensing device senses the presence or absence of a human body around the storage device, it will send a corresponding signal. These signals can be transmitted to the cloud server or the user's mobile device through wireless communication technologies such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth for further processing and storage, or they can be directly processed locally by the controller or processor in the storage device. Optionally, based on the signal sent by the human body sensing device, the length of time a human body is present around the storage device or the length of time a human body is not present around the storage device is calculated and recorded. These duration data can be used to implement more complex control logic, such as delayed response, etc., which improves the flexibility of the control method of the storage device.

[0105] Step 210: When it is determined that there is a human body around the storage device, increase the power on / off point of the storage device.

[0106] It can be understood that when it is determined that there are human bodies around the storage device, the power on and off point refers to the temperature threshold at which the storage device starts or stops running, that is, the temperature threshold at which the compressor of the storage device starts or stops running. Appropriate adjustment of the power on and off point can help reduce the frequent starting and stopping of the equipment, thereby effectively reducing the noise generated by the operation of the storage device.

[0107] Step 220: Determine whether the storage device satisfies the shutdown logic according to the increased power-on and power-off points of the storage device.

[0108] It can be understood that the shutdown logic refers to the logical rules that comprehensively determine whether the storage device can stop running based on factors such as the current operating status, internal temperature, power on / off points, and external environmental conditions of the storage device.

[0109] In some embodiments, whether the storage device satisfies the shutdown logic is determined by comparing the internal temperature of the storage device with the adjusted power on and off point of the storage device. Specifically, when the internal temperature of the storage device is not higher than the power on and off point, the storage device is considered to meet the shutdown logic; when the internal temperature of the storage device is higher than the power on and off point, the storage device is considered to not meet the shutdown logic.

[0110] Step 230: When the storage device satisfies the shutdown logic, control the fan of the storage device and the compressor of the storage device to shut down.

[0111] It is understandable that when the storage device meets the shutdown logic, it can be considered that the storage device does not need to continue cooling, so the fan and compressor of the storage device can be controlled to shut down (i.e. stop working) to reduce the noise generated by the operation of the storage device.

[0112] Step 240: When the storage device does not satisfy the shutdown logic, the fan speed of the storage device is reduced, and the fan speed of the storage device after the reduction is not lower than the first speed.

[0113] It is understandable that when the storage device does not meet the shutdown logic, it is considered that the storage device still needs to continue to cool. However, when there are human bodies around the storage device, you can choose to lower the fan speed of the storage device to achieve the goal of reducing the noise generated by the operation of the storage device while the storage device continues to cool.

[0114] Step 250: Determine whether the door of the storage device is opened.

[0115] In some embodiments, sensors are installed inside or on the door of the storage device to determine the open state of the door in real time. When the sensor senses that the door of the storage device is open or closed, a corresponding signal is sent. These signals can be transmitted to a cloud server or a user's mobile device via wireless communication technologies such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth for further processing and storage, or they can be directly processed locally by a controller or processor in the storage device. Optionally, the duration that the door of the storage device is continuously opened is calculated and recorded based on the signal sent by the sensor, which is used to implement more complex control logic, thereby improving the flexibility of the control method of the storage device.

[0116] Step 260: When it is determined that the door of the storage device is opened, reduce the speed of the compressor of the storage device.

[0117] It is understandable that the door of the storage device is an important component of the sound insulation of the storage device. When the door of the storage device is opened, the sound insulation barrier originally provided by the door is destroyed, causing the noise inside the storage device to be more easily transmitted to the external environment. Therefore, when it is determined that the door of the storage device is opened, the speed of the compressor of the storage device is lowered to reduce the noise generated by the operation of the compressor.

[0118] Step 270: Obtain the time length during which the door of the storage device is continuously opened, and determine whether the time length during which the door of the storage device is continuously opened is greater than a third time length.

[0119] Step 280: When the door of the storage device is continuously opened for a period longer than a third period, control the storage device to operate in a fault mode.

[0120] It is understandable that if the door is continuously opened for more than the third time period, it is considered that the storage device may have a fault or the user has not closed the door for a long time. At this time, the storage device is controlled to operate in a fault mode. In the fault mode, the storage device will take specific measures, such as reducing power consumption, sounding an alarm or suspending operation, to protect the device from damage, and remind the user or maintenance personnel to check and handle it.

[0121] Step 290: obtaining the presence time of the human body through the human body sensing device, and when the presence time of the human body exceeds the first time, controlling the storage device to operate in a normal mode;

[0122] Alternatively, the human body sensing device is used to obtain the time duration of the human body being away, and when the time duration of the human body being away exceeds a second time duration, the storage device is controlled to operate in a normal mode.

[0123] It can be understood that the human presence duration refers to the duration of the presence of a human body around the storage device detected by the human body sensing device. When the human presence duration exceeds the preset first duration, it is considered that the user has stayed in front of the storage device for a long time. If the noise of the storage device is continuously controlled by the control method of the storage device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the cooling effect of the device may be affected. Therefore, the storage device is controlled to operate in normal mode to restore the cooling effect of the storage device. Optionally, the first duration is set to 7 minutes.

[0124] The human body absence time refers to the time duration confirmed by the human body sensing device that there is no human body around the storage device. When the human body absence time exceeds the preset second time duration, it is considered that the user has left the vicinity of the storage device. Since the user is no longer around the storage device, there is no need to control the noise of the storage device through the storage device control method provided in the embodiment of the present application. The storage device is controlled to operate in normal mode to restore the cooling effect of the storage device. Optionally, the second time duration is set to 30 seconds to achieve delayed control of the storage device.

[0125] In the above technical scheme, when it is determined that there is a human body around the storage device, the power on / off point of the storage device is adjusted upward, and it is judged whether the storage device meets the shutdown logic based on the adjusted power on / off point. If it does, the storage device is controlled to shut down. If not, the fan speed of the storage device is lowered but not lower than the first speed, and it is determined whether the door body of the storage device is opened. If the door body is opened, the speed of the compressor of the storage device is lowered. If the door body is continuously opened for more than a third time, the storage device enters a fault mode, and the human body presence time is obtained through the human body sensing device. If the human body presence time exceeds a preset value, the storage device is controlled to operate in normal mode. Alternatively, the human body absence time is obtained through the human body sensing device. If the human body absence time exceeds a preset value, the storage device is controlled to operate in normal mode. This realizes adjusting the operating parameters of the storage device according to the presence of users around the storage device, and can reduce the noise generated by the operation of the storage device when there is a human body around the storage device, thereby optimizing the noise performance of the storage device.

[0126] The control method of the storage device provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by a control device of the storage device. In the embodiment of the present application, the control device of the storage device executing the control method of the storage device is taken as an example to illustrate the control device of the storage device provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0142] Alternatively, the duration for which the door of the storage device is continuously opened is obtained, and when the duration for which the door of the storage device is continuously opened is greater than a third duration, the storage device is controlled to operate in a fault mode.
