[0047] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides an anti-condensation control method for controlling the heating device in a refrigerator to eliminate condensation on the surface of the refrigerator's beams. The anti-condensation control method includes:

[0048] S200: After determining that condensation has appeared on the surface of the refrigerator's central beam, the amount of condensation on the surface of the refrigerator's central beam is determined based on real-time image information of the surface.

[0049] This involves analyzing real-time image information of the refrigerator's inner beam surface to determine the area of ​​condensation zones and the number of water droplets within those zones. In some embodiments, the quotient of the total number of water droplets and the total area of ​​the condensation zone is generally calculated as the condensation amount. For example, if the total number of water droplets is G and the total area of ​​the condensation zone is S, then the condensation amount L = G / S.

[0050] S300 determines the heating device's operating duration and power based on the refrigerator's operating mode.

[0051] Refrigerators typically operate in energy-saving and non-energy-saving modes. In non-energy-saving mode, the heating device can be turned on at full power for as long as possible to prioritize condensation removal efficiency. In energy-saving mode, the heating device is usually turned on at a lower power to save energy.

[0052] S400 determines the heating device's operating time and power based on the condensation level and the refrigerator's compartment temperature settings when the refrigerator is in non-energy-saving mode.

[0053] The compartment temperature setting is the assumed temperature that the compartment should maintain, generally indicated by the compartment's temperature setting level. A higher temperature setting corresponds to a lower set temperature. For example, a compartment temperature setting might have three levels: low, medium, and high. A low setting corresponds to -5℃; a medium setting corresponds to -15℃; and a high setting corresponds to -25℃. Some refrigerators also allow users to customize the compartment temperature setting.

[0054] The heating device's operating time is the total duration from the moment the heating device is turned on to the moment it is turned off.

[0055] The operating power refers to the working power of the heating device after it is turned on.

[0056] When the refrigerator is in non-energy-saving mode, it can determine the operating status of the heating device based on the amount of condensation and the set temperature of the refrigerator compartment, without considering energy consumption. Therefore, when the set temperature of the compartment is low, the operating power and operating time of the heating device can be increased to reduce the impact of the low compartment temperature on the decondensation effect.

[0057] S500 determines the heating device's operating time and power based on the amount of condensation when the refrigerator is in energy-saving mode.

[0058] Referring to the control method of the heating device in S400, in energy-saving mode, due to the need to consider energy consumption, the heating device is difficult to operate at a high power to eliminate the impact of the low room temperature on the decondensation effect. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the opening time and operating power of the heating device according to the amount of condensation.

[0059] It is understandable that the anti-condensation control method determines the amount of condensation on the surface of the refrigerator's central beam by using real-time image information of the surface. Based on the refrigerator's operating mode and the amount of condensation, it determines the operating time and power of the heating device. In other words, the present invention can activate the heating device according to the actual condensation situation, thereby avoiding the activation of the heating device when there is no condensation, and improving the accuracy of the heating device activation.

[0060] In some embodiments, S400, when it is determined that the refrigerator is in a non-energy-saving mode, the on-time and operating power of the heating device are determined based on the condensation level and the set temperature of the refrigerator compartment, including:

[0061] S410, determine the corresponding first preset power and the corresponding first preset duration based on the condensation amount.

[0062] The refrigerator controller has multiple first preset power and multiple first preset durations. Based on the amount of condensation, a unique first preset power and first preset duration corresponding to the current amount of condensation can be determined.

[0063] S420, when it is determined that the room temperature is lower than the preset temperature, the heating device is turned on according to the first preset power and the first preset duration.

[0064] The preset temperature is a temperature value stored in the refrigerator's controller. It generally represents a boundary for the degree to which the compartment setting temperature affects the heating device's ability to eliminate condensation in the refrigerator's interior. If the compartment setting temperature is lower than the preset temperature, it means that the compartment setting temperature is low, which has a greater impact on the heating device's ability to eliminate condensation in the refrigerator's interior and will significantly reduce the efficiency of the heating device in eliminating condensation.

[0065] Specifically, after determining that the room temperature is lower than the preset temperature, the heating device is turned on with a first preset power and runs for a first preset duration.

[0066] The first preset power and the first preset duration are operating parameters of the heating device determined with consideration of the negative impact of excessively low compartment temperature on eliminating condensation in the refrigerator. Therefore, when the heating device operates based on the first preset power and the first preset duration, the effects of excessively low compartment temperature on eliminating condensation can be avoided.

[0067] S430, when it is determined that the room temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, the heating device is turned on with a power lower than the first preset power and a first preset duration, or with a power lower than the first preset power and a shorter duration, or with a power lower than the first preset power and a shorter duration.

[0068] When the set temperature of the compartment is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, it means that the current set temperature of the compartment is relatively high, which has a weaker effect on the heating device to eliminate condensation on the surface of the refrigerator beam. Therefore, when the set temperature of the relative compartment is less than the preset temperature, for the same amount of condensation, the heating device can be turned on with a power lower than the first preset power and / or a turn-on time shorter than the first preset time.

[0069] For example: when the condensation amount is L1 and the room temperature is less than the preset temperature, the first preset power of the heating device is determined to be 150W, and the heating device is turned on at the first preset power for 5 minutes; when the condensation amount is L1 and the room temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, the heating device is turned on at 130W for 4 minutes; or when the condensation amount is L1 and the room temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, the heating device is turned on at 150W for 4 minutes; or when the condensation amount is L1 and the room temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, the heating device is turned on at 130W for 5 minutes.

[0070] That is, under the same condensation level, when the room temperature is lower than the preset temperature, the heating device can be turned on with greater power or longer duration when the room temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, so as to eliminate the effect of the low room temperature on the heating device to eliminate condensation.

[0071] In some embodiments, when the temperature of the room is equal to the preset temperature, a first preset power and a first preset duration are determined according to the amount of condensation, and the heating device is turned on with a power and a first preset duration lower than the first preset power.

[0072] In some embodiments, when the temperature of the room is equal to the preset temperature, a first preset power and a first preset duration are determined according to the amount of condensation, and the heating device is turned on with the first preset power and an on-time shorter than the first preset duration.

[0073] In some embodiments, when the temperature of the room is set to be higher than the preset temperature, a first preset power and a first preset duration are determined according to the amount of condensation, and the heating device is turned on with a power lower than the first preset power and an on-time shorter than the first preset duration.

[0074] In some embodiments, S410, determining the corresponding first preset power and the corresponding first preset on-time based on the condensation amount includes:

[0075] S411, Determine the corresponding condensation range based on the condensation amount.

[0076] The refrigerator controller has multiple condensation ranges pre-stored, such as A1, A2, and A3. Each condensation level can be matched with a corresponding condensation range, and the corresponding condensation range can be determined based on the condensation level.

[0077] S412, determine the first preset power corresponding to the condensation range based on the condensation range.

[0078] The refrigerator controller has multiple preset power values, each corresponding to a different condensation range. For example, the multiple power values ​​include a first power, a second power, and a third power, which correspond to the three condensation ranges A1, A2, and A3, respectively. Therefore, after determining the condensation amount, the corresponding first preset power value can be determined.

[0079] S413, determine the first preset duration corresponding to the condensation range based on the condensation range.

[0080] The refrigerator controller has multiple preset durations, each corresponding to a different condensation range. For example, the preset durations include a first duration, a second duration, and a third duration, which correspond to the three condensation ranges A1, A2, and A3, respectively. Therefore, after determining the condensation amount, the corresponding first preset duration can be determined.

[0081] In some embodiments, S500, when it is determined that the refrigerator is in energy-saving mode, determining the on-time and operating power of the heating device based on the condensation level includes:

[0082] S510, determine the second preset power corresponding to the condensation amount based on the condensation amount.

[0083] The refrigerator's controller has multiple preset second power values ​​stored in it. Once the second preset power value is determined, the heating device will operate at the power value corresponding to the second preset power value after it is turned on.

[0084] S520, turn on the heating device at the second preset power, and turn off the heating device after the second preset time.

[0085] The second preset duration is the duration of each heating device activation in energy-saving mode, which is pre-stored in the refrigerator's controller. It is generally shorter than the heating device activation duration under the same condensation level in non-energy-saving mode.

[0086] S530: After turning off the heating device, the condensation state on the surface of the refrigerator beam is determined at a third preset time interval. If condensation exists on the surface of the refrigerator beam, the above steps are repeated.

[0087] The third preset time interval is data pre-stored in the refrigerator controller. After the third preset time interval, the presence of condensation on the surface of the refrigerator beam is determined again by implementing image information. After determining that there is condensation on the surface of the refrigerator beam, S510-S530 are executed repeatedly.

[0088] The third preset duration is generally 60 minutes. By ensuring that the heating device is turned on at least for the third preset duration, the energy burden on the refrigerator is reduced due to the frequent turning on of the heating device.

[0089] In some embodiments, S510, determining a second preset power corresponding to the condensation amount based on the condensation amount includes:

[0090] S511, Determine the corresponding condensation range based on the condensation amount.

[0091] The refrigerator controller has multiple condensation ranges pre-stored, such as A1, A2, and A3. Each condensation level can be matched with a corresponding condensation range, and the corresponding condensation range can be determined based on the condensation level.

[0092] S512, determine the first preset power corresponding to the condensation range in non-energy-saving mode.

[0093] The refrigerator controller has multiple preset power values, each corresponding to a different condensation range. For example, the multiple power values ​​include a first power, a second power, and a third power, which correspond to the three condensation ranges A1, A2, and A3, respectively. Therefore, after determining the condensation amount, the corresponding first preset power value can be determined.

[0094] S513, determine the second preset power based on the first preset power, wherein the second preset power is less than or equal to 0.8 times the first preset power.

[0095] The first preset power is determined based on the amount of condensation when the refrigerator is in non-energy-saving mode. The second preset power is determined based on the first preset power and is limited to being less than or equal to 0.8 times the first preset power. For example, if the power corresponding to the first power determined based on the amount of condensation is 150W, then the power corresponding to the second preset power must not exceed 120W.

[0096] In some embodiments, the anti-condensation control method further includes:

[0097] S600 inputs the start-up time, operating power, time from start-up to condensation disappearance, condensation amount, and environmental data of the heating device into the prediction model each time, and the prediction model determines the start-up time and operating power of the heating device for the next time with the same condensation amount and the same environmental data.

[0098] The environmental data includes the compartment temperature and the internal humidity of the refrigerator.

[0099] For example, if the room temperature is set to -5℃, the ambient humidity to 60%, the heating device is on for 10 minutes, the operating power is 100W, and the time from starting the heating device to the disappearance of condensation is 8 minutes, these data are substituted into the prediction model. The prediction model records the data and uses an algorithm to calculate that the heating device will be on for 8 minutes and the operating power will be 100W again when the same amount of condensation and the same environmental data are used. That is, the heating device's on-time is made consistent with the condensation disappearance time, thus avoiding the heating device continuing to work and wasting energy after the condensation disappears.

[0100] The predictive model can also record environmental data each time condensation occurs, and predict the occurrence of condensation based on the environmental data, so as to turn on the heating device in a targeted manner before condensation occurs to prevent condensation from occurring.

[0101] In some embodiments, S200, determining the condensation level on the surface of the refrigerator's inner beam based on real-time image information of the inner beam surface includes:

[0102] The amount of condensation on the surface of the beam is determined based on the area of ​​the condensation zone and the number of water droplets in the real-time image information.

[0103] In general, the quotient of the total number of water droplets and the total area of ​​the condensation zone is used as the condensation amount. For example, if the total number of water droplets is G and the total area of ​​the condensation zone is S, then the condensation amount L = G / S.

[0104] In some embodiments, the anti-condensation control method further includes:

[0105] S100 determines whether condensation has appeared on the surface of the refrigerator's central beam based on real-time image information of the central beam surface.

[0106] The refrigerator's controller identifies real-time image information and determines that condensation has occurred on the surface of the refrigerator's central beam when water droplets are detected.

[0107] In order to ensure the accuracy of real-time image information recognition, after the image acquisition device acquires the image, the controller performs noise reduction and contrast enhancement on the real-time image information to improve the recognition of water droplets in the image.

[0108] In some embodiments, the present invention also provides an anti-condensation control device 10, including an acquisition module 100, a processing module 200, and a control module 300. The acquisition module 100 is used to acquire real-time image information of the surface of the refrigerator's inner beam, the refrigerator's compartment set temperature, and the refrigerator's operating mode. The processing module 200 is used to determine the amount of condensation on the surface of the refrigerator's inner beam based on the real-time image information after determining that condensation has occurred. The control module 300 is used to determine the operating duration and operating power of the heating device based on the refrigerator's operating mode. When the refrigerator is determined to be in non-energy-saving mode, the control module 300 is used to determine the operating duration and operating power of the heating device based on the amount of condensation and the refrigerator's compartment set temperature. When the refrigerator is determined to be in energy-saving mode, the control module 300 is used to determine the operating duration and operating power of the heating device based on the amount of condensation.

[0109] In some embodiments, the present invention also provides a refrigerator, which may include components such as a processor 601 with one or more processing cores, a memory 602 with one or more computer-readable storage media, a power supply 603, and an input unit 604. Those skilled in the art will understand that the above-described refrigerator structure does not constitute a limitation on the refrigerator, and may include more or fewer components, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements. Wherein:

[0110] The processor 601 is the controller of the refrigerator, connecting various parts of the refrigerator through various interfaces and lines. It performs various functions and processes data by running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in the memory 602, and by calling data stored in the memory 602, thereby providing overall monitoring of the refrigerator. Optionally, the processor 601 may include one or more processing cores; preferably, the processor 601 may integrate an application processor 601 and a modem processor 601, wherein the application processor 601 mainly handles the operating system, user interface, and computer programs, while the modem processor 601 mainly handles wireless communication. It is understood that the modem processor 601 may also not be integrated into the processor 601.

[0111] The memory 602 can be used to store software programs and modules. The processor 601 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the software programs and modules stored in the memory. The memory may mainly include a program storage area and a data storage area. The program storage area may store the operating system, computer programs required for at least one function (such as sound playback function, image playback function, etc.), etc.; the data storage area may store data created according to the use of the server, etc. In addition, the memory may include high-speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage device. Accordingly, the memory may also include a memory controller to provide the processor 601 with access to the memory.

[0112] The refrigerator also includes a power supply 603 that supplies power to the various components. Preferably, the power supply 603 can be logically connected to the processor 601 through a power management system, thereby enabling functions such as charging, discharging, and power consumption management through the power management system. The power supply may also include one or more DC or AC power sources, a recharging system, a power fault detection circuit, a power converter or inverter, a power status indicator, or any other components.

[0113] The refrigerator may also include an input unit 604, which can be used to receive input digital or character information, and generate keyboard, mouse, joystick, optical or trackball signal inputs related to user settings and function control.

[0114] Although not shown, the refrigerator may also include a display unit, etc., which will not be described in detail here. Specifically, in this embodiment, the processor 601 in the refrigerator loads the executable files corresponding to the processes of one or more computer programs into the memory 602 according to the following instructions, and the processor 601 runs the computer programs stored in the memory 602 to perform the following steps:

[0115] After confirming that condensation has appeared on the surface of the refrigerator's inner beam, the amount of condensation on the surface of the refrigerator's inner beam is determined based on real-time image information of the inner beam surface.

[0116] Determine the heating device's operating duration and power based on the refrigerator's operating mode;

[0117] When the refrigerator is in non-energy-saving mode, determine the heating device's on-time and operating power based on the condensation level and the refrigerator's compartment temperature settings.

[0118] When the refrigerator is in energy-saving mode, the heating device's operating time and power are determined based on the amount of condensation.

[0119] By performing the above steps, the amount of condensation on the surface of the refrigerator's central beam is determined using real-time image information. Based on the refrigerator's operating mode and the amount of condensation, the operating time and power of the heating device are determined. In other words, this invention can activate the heating device according to the actual condensation situation, thereby avoiding activation of the heating device when there is no condensation and improving the accuracy of the heating device activation.

[0120] Those skilled in the art will understand that all or part of the steps in any of the methods in the above embodiments can be performed by a computer program or by a computer program controlling related hardware. The computer program can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium and loaded and executed by the processor 601.

[0121] In some embodiments, the present invention also provides a storage medium storing a computer program, which is loaded by a processor to perform the following steps;
