[0002] When using a refrigerator, users are usually more concerned about its power consumption. The power consumption of a refrigerator is usually the power consumption under standard operating conditions, such as fixed environmental stability and humidity. The actual power consumption of a refrigerator is significantly different from that under standard conditions, so users are usually more concerned about its actual power consumption.

[0003] At present, in order to monitor the actual power consumption of a refrigerator, a hardware power consumption module can usually be added to the refrigerator to calculate the actual power consumption of the refrigerator through the hardware power consumption module. The hardware power consumption module can be, for example, a hardware module such as a smart socket or an electric meter with power monitoring function.

[0004] However, installing the above hardware on the refrigerator will increase the production cost of the refrigerator and take up space in the refrigerator. If the hardware power consumption module fails, the actual power consumption of the refrigerator cannot be accurately calculated. Summary of the invention

[0005] The embodiments of the present application provide a method, device, electronic device and storage medium for monitoring the power consumption of a refrigerator, which can be used to solve the problem in the related art that setting the above-mentioned hardware on the refrigerator will increase the production cost of the refrigerator and occupy the refrigerator space. If these hardware fail, the actual power consumption of the refrigerator cannot be accurately calculated.

[0006] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for monitoring power consumption of a refrigerator, which is applied to a cloud server, and the method includes:

[0007] For any one of the multiple loads of the refrigerator, according to the type of the load, the working power of the load and the operating time in the current monitoring cycle are obtained, and according to the working power and the operating time, the first power consumption of the load in the current monitoring cycle is determined;

[0008] determining the actual power consumption of the refrigerator in the current monitoring period according to the first power consumption of the multiple loads;

[0009] Among them, the type is a start-stop reporting type, a fixed operation type or a stable operation type. The load of the start-stop reporting type reports operating parameters to the cloud server during operation, the load of the fixed operation type has a fixed operating time, and the load of the stable operation type maintains a continuous working state after the refrigerator is powered on.

[0010] In this embodiment, for any one of the multiple loads of the refrigerator, the cloud server can obtain the working power of the load and the operating time in the current monitoring cycle according to the type of the load, and determine the first power consumption of the load in the current monitoring cycle according to the working power and the operating time, and then determine the actual power consumption of the refrigerator in the current monitoring cycle according to the first power consumption of multiple loads. There is no need to add related hardware to the refrigerator, which reduces the production cost of the refrigerator and the occupied refrigerator space, and the actual power consumption of the refrigerator can be accurately calculated.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present application, determining the first power consumption of the load in the current monitoring period according to the operating power and the operating time includes:

[0012] Acquire preset parameters of the load, where the preset parameters are determined according to historical power consumption and ideal power consumption of the load;

[0013] A first power consumption of the load in the current monitoring period is determined according to the preset parameters, the operating power and the operating time.

[0014] In this embodiment, a preset parameter may be set for each load, and the preset parameter is used to correct the calculation of power consumption in the current monitoring period to improve the accuracy of the power consumption calculation.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present application, for any one of the multiple loads, the method further includes:

[0017] The preset parameters of the load are determined according to the ideal power consumption and the actual power consumption in the first monitoring period.

[0018] In this embodiment, the preset parameters of the load can be determined according to the historical power consumption and the ideal power consumption, so as to realize the correction of the power consumption in the current monitoring period, thereby improving the accuracy of the power consumption calculation.

[0019] In some embodiments of the present application, for a load of the start-stop reporting type, determining the first power consumption of the load in the current monitoring period according to the preset parameter, the operating power, and the operating time includes:

[0020] If the refrigerator is in an offline state during the current monitoring period, determining the online duration of the refrigerator during the current monitoring period according to the first operating parameter reported by the load during the current monitoring period, wherein the first operating parameter includes a start time, a stop time, a working power, and a time when the working power is uploaded;

Then, the working power of the load when online is used as the working power of the load when offline, so as to estimate the power consumption of the refrigerator during the first offline duration based on the offline duration and the working power, and the first power consumption of the load in the current monitoring cycle can be calculated more accurately.

[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, obtaining the operating power of the load and the operating time in the current monitoring period according to the type of the load includes:

[0029] If the load is of a fixed operation type, the operating power of the load and a fixed operation time within a monitoring cycle are obtained from the preset memory.

[0030] In this embodiment, different methods of obtaining working power and operating time are used for different types of loads, which can reduce the large amount of data uploaded by some loads due to frequent start and stop, thereby reducing the computing pressure of the cloud server.

[0056] In order to make the purpose, implementation mode and advantages of the present application clearer, the exemplary implementation mode of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the exemplary embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described exemplary embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0057] It should be noted that the brief description of terms in this application is only for the convenience of understanding the embodiments described below, and is not intended to limit the embodiments of this application. Unless otherwise specified, these terms should be understood according to their common and usual meanings.

[0058] In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover but not exclude inclusion, for example, a product or device comprising a list of components is not necessarily limited to those components expressly listed but may include other components not expressly listed or inherent to such products or devices.

[0059] At present, in order to monitor the actual power consumption of a refrigerator, a hardware power consumption module can usually be added to the refrigerator to calculate the actual power consumption of the refrigerator through the hardware power consumption module. The hardware power consumption module can be, for example, a hardware module such as a smart socket or an electric meter with power monitoring function.

[0060] However, the above method will increase the production cost of the refrigerator and also take up space in the refrigerator. If the hardware power consumption module fails, the actual power consumption of the refrigerator cannot be accurately calculated.

[0061] Therefore, the present application provides a method for monitoring the power consumption of a refrigerator. By using the type of load, the working power of the load and the operating time in the current monitoring cycle are obtained to determine the power consumption of the load. Then, the actual power consumption of the refrigerator can be determined based on the power consumption of multiple loads, wherein the type of load is a start-stop reporting type, a fixed operation type, or a stable operation type. There is no need to add related hardware to the refrigerator, which reduces the production cost of the refrigerator and the occupied refrigerator space, and the actual power consumption of the refrigerator can be accurately calculated.

[0062] For ease of understanding, the following Figure 1 The examples are used to illustrate the application scenarios to which the embodiments of the present application are applicable.

[0063] Figure 1 For a schematic diagram of an application scenario applicable to this application, please see Figure 1 , including: a cloud server 101, a refrigerator 102 and a terminal device 103.

[0064] The cloud server 101, the refrigerator 102 and the terminal device 103 can communicate with each other through the Internet. The refrigerator 102 includes multiple loads. During the operation of the refrigerator 102, the cloud server 101 can monitor the power consumption of each load of the refrigerator 102, and then determine the actual power consumption of the refrigerator 102 based on the power consumption of the multiple loads, and send the power information to the user's terminal device 103, so that the user can conveniently check the actual power consumption of the refrigerator.

[0065] Among the multiple loads of the refrigerator 102, the refrigerator 102 will upload the operating parameters to the cloud server 101 when running part of the load, so that the cloud server 101 can determine the actual power consumption of the load.

[0066] The cloud server 101 stores the operating data of another part of the load. It can be understood that the load can be a load with certain operating rules. This can avoid the refrigerator from sending real-time operating data to the cloud server 101 all the time due to the operation of the load, thereby reducing the data transmission burden of the cloud server 101 and the refrigerator 102.

[0067] The technical solution of the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other or exist independently. The same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0068] Figure 2 A flowchart of a method for monitoring power consumption of a refrigerator provided in an embodiment of the present application is provided. The method can be executed by a monitoring device for power consumption of a refrigerator. The monitoring device for power consumption of a refrigerator can be Figure 1 The following is an example of a cloud server. Figure 2 , the method comprises the following steps:

[0069] S201. For any one of the multiple loads of the refrigerator, obtain the working power of the load and the operating time in the current monitoring cycle according to the type of the load, and determine the first power consumption of the load in the current monitoring cycle according to the working power and the operating time.

[0070] In one possible implementation, when the refrigerator is in operation, the cloud server can determine the actual power consumption of the refrigerator according to each monitoring cycle, that is, calculate the actual power consumption of the refrigerator once each monitoring cycle. For example, the monitoring cycle can be every hour, that is, calculate the actual power consumption of the refrigerator once every hour, or the monitoring cycle can be every day, that is, calculate the actual power consumption of the refrigerator once every day, or the monitoring cycle can be every month or every year, that is, calculate the actual power consumption of the refrigerator once every month or every year.

[0071] It is understandable that the above monitoring period can be set according to user needs, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0072] In the current monitoring cycle, the cloud server can obtain the working power of the load and the operating time in the current monitoring cycle, and then determine the first power consumption of the load in the current monitoring cycle according to the working power and the operating time.

[0073] It should be noted that when the monitoring cycle is set to a small value, such as one hour, and for a load of a fixed operating type, the daily operating time is limited, that is, it is not always in operation. For the convenience of calculation, this application calculates the first power consumption of the load in the current monitoring cycle. Taking the monitoring cycle of one hour as an example, for example, if the load runs for 3 hours a day, then the fixed operating time of the load in the current monitoring cycle is 0.125 hours. The daily operating time of the load can be averaged into 24 monitoring cycles, so that the actual power consumption of the load in each monitoring cycle can be calculated.

[0074] Among them, the type of load is the start-stop reporting type, the fixed operation type or the stable operation type. The load of the start-stop reporting type reports the operation parameters to the cloud server during operation, such as reporting the operation parameters when starting operation. The operation time of the load of the fixed operation type is fixed, and the load of the stable operation type maintains a continuous working state after the refrigerator is powered on.

[0075] Exemplarily, the above types can be determined based on load differences and other characteristics. Different types of loads have different ways of obtaining working power and operating time, so that obtaining working power and operating time through different types can improve the efficiency of power consumption monitoring.

[0076] Specifically, if the load is of the on-off reporting type, the cloud server can determine the load's operating power and operating duration based on the operating parameters uploaded by the load during the current monitoring cycle.

[0077] If the load is of a stable operation type, the operating power of the load is obtained from the preset memory, and the operation time is determined to be the time corresponding to the current monitoring period.

[0078] If the load is of fixed operation type, the load's operating power and a fixed operating time within a monitoring cycle are obtained from the preset memory.

[0079] For example, for loads that report on and off, such as vertical beams, different ambient temperatures, ambient humidity, and refrigerator set temperature values ​​have different running times. If the operating parameters include the target ambient temperature, target ambient humidity, and the current temperature value set for the refrigerator, the cloud server can obtain a preset correspondence, which includes multiple set time lengths, and the ambient temperature, ambient humidity, and refrigerator set temperature value corresponding to each set time length. Then, based on the target ambient temperature, target ambient humidity, and current temperature value, the cloud server determines the running time from the preset correspondence. For this type of load, the cloud server can estimate the running time based on the reported running parameters to avoid the load uploading a large number of running parameters when starting and stopping the load due to frequent starts and stops every day, which increases the amount of calculation for the cloud server.

[0080] S202: Determine the actual power consumption of the refrigerator in a current monitoring period according to the first power consumption of the multiple loads.

[0081] After determining the first power consumption of each load, the cloud server can determine the actual power consumption of the refrigerator in the current monitoring period according to the first power consumption of the multiple loads.

[0082] Exemplarily, the cloud server may add up the first power consumption of multiple loads, and then obtain the actual power consumption of the refrigerator in the current monitoring period.

[0083] For example, Table 1 shows various types of loads:

[0084] Table 1

[0085]

[0086] It can be understood that Table 1 includes other small loads with low power consumption. Since these loads have low power consumption, in a possible implementation, the power consumption of these loads can be ignored when calculating the actual power consumption of the refrigerator.

[0087] In another possible implementation, the power consumption of these loads in the last row of Table 1 can be recorded in advance in the cloud server. The power consumption may be the power consumption of the refrigerator under standard operating conditions, such as fixed environmental stability and humidity, etc., that is, the actual operating conditions have little effect on the power consumption of these loads. After obtaining the first power consumption of each type of load, the cloud server can calculate the power consumption of each type of load based on the first power consumption of each type of load and the recorded power consumption of the above-mentioned other loads.

[0088] For example, the cloud server can calculate the actual power consumption of the refrigerator according to the following formula:

[0089]

[0090] Where n means the refrigerator has n loads, Y i Indicates whether there is load i in the refrigerator, for example, Y i =1 means the refrigerator has load i, Y i =0 means there is no load i in the refrigerator, P i T i represents the first power consumption of load i, P i represents the working power of load i, T i Indicates the running time of load i in the current monitoring cycle.

[0091] In this embodiment, for any one of the multiple loads of the refrigerator, the cloud server can obtain the working power of the load and the operating time in the current monitoring cycle according to the type of the load, and determine the first power consumption of the load in the current monitoring cycle according to the working power and the operating time, and then determine the actual power consumption of the refrigerator in the current monitoring cycle according to the first power consumption of multiple loads. There is no need to add related hardware to the refrigerator, which reduces the production cost of the refrigerator and the occupied refrigerator space, and the actual power consumption of the refrigerator can be accurately calculated.

[0092] Next, the cloud server determines the first power consumption according to the working power and the operation time of the load in the current monitoring cycle in detail.

[0093] Figure 3 A flow chart of another method for monitoring power consumption of a refrigerator provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method can be executed by a monitoring device for power consumption of a refrigerator, and the monitoring device for power consumption of a refrigerator can be Figure 1 The following is an example of a cloud server. Figure 3 , the method comprises the following steps:

[0094] S301. For any one of the multiple loads of the refrigerator, obtain the working power of the load and the operating time in the current monitoring cycle according to the type of the load, and determine the first power consumption of the load in the current monitoring cycle according to the working power and the operating time.

[0095] S302: Obtain preset parameters of the load, where the preset parameters are determined based on historical power consumption and ideal power consumption of the load.

[0096] In one possible implementation, a preset parameter can be set for each load, and the budget parameter can be used to correct the power consumption of the current monitoring cycle. For example, if the preset parameter is 1.2, it means that the power consumption of the current monitoring cycle can be increased to obtain the increased power consumption, that is, the first power consumption. For another example, if the preset parameter is 0.8, it means that the power consumption of the current monitoring cycle can be reduced to obtain the reduced power consumption, that is, the first power consumption.

[0097] Exemplarily, the preset parameters may be determined based on the historical power consumption and ideal power consumption of the load.

[0098] In one possible implementation, the historical power consumption may be the actual power consumption in the first monitoring period. The cloud server may obtain the ideal power consumption of the load and the historical power consumption of the load in the first monitoring period, and then determine the preset parameters of the load based on the ideal power consumption and the actual power consumption in the first monitoring period.

[0099] Exemplarily, the first monitoring cycle may be the monitoring cycle before the current monitoring cycle, or it may be any monitoring cycle before the current monitoring cycle, or it may be a monitoring cycle with a preset duration from the current monitoring cycle, for example, the preset duration is 1 month, which is the monitoring cycle corresponding to one month before the current monitoring cycle.

[0100] The ideal power consumption is the power consumption of the load under standard operating conditions. In one possible implementation, when determining the ideal power consumption, the refrigerator can be placed under standard operating conditions (such as fixed environmental stability and humidity, etc.), and then a hardware power consumption module is added to the refrigerator, such as a smart socket to measure the ideal power consumption. It can be understood that the socket is only used to obtain the ideal power consumption, and the refrigerator used by the user is not equipped with this socket.

[0101] For example, if the difference between the historical power consumption and the ideal power consumption is greater than the preset threshold, and the historical power consumption is greater than the ideal power consumption, it means that the actual power consumption is too large, and the preset parameter can be adjusted to be less than 1, for example, 0.8; if the difference between the historical power consumption and the ideal power consumption is greater than the preset threshold, and the historical power consumption is less than the ideal power consumption, it means that the actual power consumption is too small, and the preset parameter can be adjusted to be greater than 1, for example, 1.2.

[0102] The cloud server can adjust the size of the preset parameters in each monitoring cycle in the above manner to improve the accuracy of the first power consumption in each monitoring cycle.

[0103] S303: Determine the first power consumption of the load in the current monitoring period according to preset parameters, operating power and operating time.

[0104] Exemplarily, the cloud server may determine the first power consumption of the load in the current monitoring period according to the following formula:

[0105]

[0106] Where n means the refrigerator has n loads, Y i Indicates whether there is load i in the refrigerator, for example, Y i =1 means the refrigerator has load i, Y i =0 means there is no load i in the refrigerator, Pi T i represents the first power consumption of load i, P i represents the working power of load i, T i Indicates the running time of load i in the current monitoring cycle, K i Represents the preset parameters of load i.

[0107] S304: Determine the actual power consumption of the refrigerator in the current monitoring period according to the first power consumption of the multiple loads.

[0108] After determining the first power consumption of each load, the cloud server can determine the actual power consumption of the refrigerator in the current monitoring period according to the first power consumption of the multiple loads.

[0109] In this embodiment, for any one of the multiple loads of the refrigerator, the cloud server can obtain the working power of the load and the operating time in the current monitoring cycle according to the type of the load, and obtain preset parameters of the load, where the preset parameters are determined based on the historical power consumption and ideal power consumption of the load. Then, based on the preset parameters, the working power and the operating time, the first power consumption of the load in the current monitoring cycle is determined. Then, based on the first power consumption of multiple loads, the actual power consumption of the refrigerator in the current monitoring cycle is determined. There is no need to add related hardware to the refrigerator, which reduces the production cost of the refrigerator and the occupied refrigerator space. The actual power consumption of the refrigerator can be accurately calculated, and the accuracy of the load power consumption calculation can be improved by calculating the first power consumption by preset parameters.

[0110] For loads whose power consumption calculation depends on the operating parameters uploaded by the refrigerator, such as loads of the start-stop reporting type, if the refrigerator is offline during the current monitoring cycle, the cloud server cannot obtain the operating parameters of the load during the offline period. The first power consumption of the load in the current monitoring cycle can be determined in the following ways:

[0111] Figure 4 A flow chart of another method for monitoring power consumption of a refrigerator provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method can be executed by a monitoring device for power consumption of a refrigerator, and the monitoring device for power consumption of a refrigerator can be Figure 1 The following is an example of a cloud server. Figure 4 , the method comprises the following steps:

[0112] S401: If the refrigerator is in an offline state in the current monitoring cycle, determine the online duration of the refrigerator in the current monitoring cycle according to the first operating parameter reported by the load in the current monitoring cycle.

[0113] For loads of the start-stop reporting type, if the refrigerator is offline during the current monitoring cycle, the cloud server can determine the online time of the refrigerator during the current monitoring cycle based on the first operating parameter reported by the load during the current monitoring cycle, wherein the first operating parameter includes the start time, stop time, working power and the time when the working power is uploaded. By way of example, the online time can be determined based on the operating time and the time when the working power is uploaded.

[0114] S402: Determine a first offline duration of the refrigerator in a current monitoring cycle according to the first operating parameter and the online duration.

[0115] The cloud server may determine the first offline duration of the refrigerator in the current monitoring cycle according to the first operating parameter and the online duration. Exemplarily, after determining the online duration, the cloud server may determine the first offline duration according to the stop time and the online duration. Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the first duration and online duration of an example.

[0116] S403: Determine the second power consumption of the load in the current monitoring cycle according to preset parameters, online duration and working power.

[0117] Exemplarily, the cloud server can determine the second power consumption of the load in the current monitoring period according to the above formula (2). It can be understood that the second power consumption is the power consumption of the load in the online period. i is the online duration of load i in the current monitoring cycle, P i It is the working power uploaded by load i when it is online.

[0118] S404: Determine a third power consumption of the load in the current monitoring period according to preset parameters, the first duration and the operating power.

[0119] Exemplarily, the cloud server can determine the third power consumption of the load in the current monitoring period according to the above formula (2). It can be understood that the third power consumption is the power consumption of the load in the offline period, where T i is the first offline duration of load i, P i It is the working power uploaded by load i when it is online.

[0120] S405: Determine the first power consumption according to the second power consumption and the third power consumption.

[0121] After determining the second power consumption and the third power consumption, the cloud server can determine the first power consumption based on the second power consumption and the third power consumption. For example, the cloud server can add the second power consumption and the third power consumption to obtain the first power consumption of the load in the current monitoring period.

[0122] In this embodiment, for loads whose power consumption calculation depends on the operating parameters uploaded by the refrigerator, such as loads of the start-stop reporting type, if the refrigerator is offline during the current monitoring cycle, the cloud server can determine the offline duration of the load during the current monitoring cycle based on the operating parameters reported by the load when it is online, and then use the working power of the load when it is online as the working power of the load when it is offline, so as to estimate the power consumption of the refrigerator during the first offline duration based on the offline duration and the working power, and thus can more accurately calculate the first power consumption of the load in the current monitoring cycle.
