[0002] In daily life and industrial production, in order to meet the storage needs of different items, many storage devices are designed with multiple partitions. These partitions are usually divided according to the characteristics of the stored items (such as humidity, temperature, etc.) to ensure that the items can be stored in the most suitable environment.

[0003] However, in actual use, users or managers often encounter a problem: although they know that the storage device contains multiple partitions and these partitions have different storage functions (for example, the dry area drawer and the wet area drawer in the fresh-keeping drawer), due to the lack of intuitive identification or identification means, it is often difficult to accurately distinguish which partition corresponds to which storage type. This not only brings inconvenience to the storage and management of items, but may also cause damage or deterioration of items due to misplacement.

[0025] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present invention, and any structural, methodological, or functional changes made by a person skilled in the art based on these embodiments are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Terms such as "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like used herein to indicate spatial relative positions are used for the purpose of convenience to describe the relationship of one unit or feature relative to another unit or feature as shown in the accompanying drawings. Terms of spatial relative positions may be intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation other than the orientation shown in the drawings.

[0027] For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as "below" or "beneath" other elements or features would then be oriented "above" the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.

[0028] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0029] It should be noted that the term "comprising" or any other variation thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] An embodiment of the present invention provides a partitioned storage device. The partitioned storage device refers to a device or container specifically used for partitioned storage, preservation and management of different types of food. These devices can provide different storage environments according to different types of food, ensuring that the food remains fresh, nutritious and tasty during storage. The partitioned storage device can be a refrigerator or a freezer, or a module in a refrigerator or a freezer, such as a fresh-keeping drawer including a dry area drawer and a wet area drawer.

[0031] As shown in Fig. 1(a) and Fig. 1(b), in one embodiment, the partition storage device 100 includes a first component 11. The first component 11 includes a first electromagnetic coil 1 and a second electromagnetic coil 2, wherein the first electromagnetic coil 1 is used to generate a first magnetic field when powered on, and the second electromagnetic coil 2 is used to generate a second magnetic field when powered on.

[0032] On the one hand, both the first magnetic field and the second magnetic field can be used to preserve the food in the first storage unit 3 and the second storage unit 4; on the other hand, the first magnetic field and the second magnetic field can distinguish the storage type of the first storage unit 3 and the second storage unit 4 through the first induction coil 5 and the second induction coil 6.

[0033] It should be noted that the effect of magnetic field on food preservation is mainly reflected in the fact that magnetic field can inhibit the growth of microorganisms and molds, thereby extending the storage period of food. Specifically, when using magnetic field to assist in the storage of food, the magnetic field limits the free path of water molecules to a certain extent, which is specifically manifested as the breaking of hydrogen bonds in the water molecule family, so that the growth of water crystal nuclei is inhibited during the phase change process, and the growth rate of ice crystals is higher than the migration rate of water molecules. The resulting ice crystals are smaller, resulting in less damage to cells, reducing the loss rate of juice in food, and allowing the nutrition and taste of food to be better preserved. Therefore, magnetic field can be used to assist in the storage of food, thereby achieving the purpose of extending the storage period of food.

[0034] Continuing to refer to FIG. 1( a ), the first component 11 is located above the second component 12 . In other words, the first storage unit 3 and the second storage unit 4 in the second component 12 are located below the first electromagnetic coil 1 and the second electromagnetic coil, respectively.

[0035] In a specific embodiment, the area of ​​the first component 11 is set to be equal to the sum of the areas of the first storage unit 3 and the second storage unit 4. In other words, the first component 12 can just completely cover the first storage unit and the second storage unit.

[0036] Based on this, as shown in Figure 2(a) and Figure 3As shown, the first component 11 includes a first cover plate (or upper cover plate) 11-1 and a second cover plate (or lower cover plate) 11-2, and the first electromagnetic coil 1 and the second electromagnetic coil 2 are both arranged between the upper cover plate 11-1 and the lower cover plate 11-2. In this embodiment, the first component 11 is arranged in parallel above the first storage unit 3 and the second storage unit 4 similar to the planar structure shown in FIG. 2(a). Of course, it can also be arranged above the first storage unit 3 and the second storage unit 4 at a certain angle, and the present invention does not make specific restrictions on this.

[0037] The first magnetic field generated when the first electromagnetic coil 1 is energized and the second magnetic field generated when the second electromagnetic coil 2 is energized have opposite magnetic field directions.

[0038] Based on this, in one embodiment, the first electromagnetic coil 1 is wound along a first direction, and the second electromagnetic coil 2 is wound along a second direction, and the first direction and the second direction are opposite. As shown in FIG2(b), the first electromagnetic coil 1 is wound in a clockwise direction (first direction), and the second electromagnetic coil 2 is wound in a counterclockwise direction (second direction).

[0039] In order to facilitate the flow of current from one electromagnetic coil to the other electromagnetic coil, the two electromagnetic coils can be connected. In one embodiment, a gap 22 is provided at one end of the second support member 14, and the gap 22 is used to connect the input end of the first electromagnetic coil 1 with the output end of the second electromagnetic coil 2.

[0040] Specifically, referring to FIG. 2(b), the power supply is controlled to energize the second electromagnetic coil 2 (i.e., the right electromagnetic coil) through the current input terminal 20, and the current flows through the second electromagnetic coil 2, passes through the electromagnetic wire set at the gap 22, and continues to guide the current into the first electromagnetic coil 1 (i.e., the left electromagnetic coil), so that the left electromagnetic coil and the right electromagnetic coil generate the first magnetic field and the second magnetic field with different magnetic field directions. This connection method can realize that the two electromagnetic coils share the same current source.

[0041] Of course, the first electromagnetic coil 1 and the second electromagnetic coil 2 may also be two independent parts with different winding directions, which can be energized separately to generate magnetic fields in different directions, thus having high flexibility.

[0042] In other embodiments, the magnetic field directions of the first magnetic field and the second magnetic field may be different by controlling different current directions. Specifically, when the first electromagnetic coil 1 and the second electromagnetic coil 2 maintain the same winding direction, the first direction current may be provided to the first electromagnetic coil 1 and the second direction current may be provided to the second electromagnetic coil 2, and the first direction and the second direction may be opposite. In this embodiment, the first magnetic field and the second magnetic field with different magnetic field directions may be generated by changing the current direction.

[0043] The partition storage device 100 also includes a second component 12, which includes at least a first storage unit 1 and a second storage unit 2. The first storage unit 3 is arranged within the range of the first magnetic field generated by the first electromagnetic coil 1, and the second storage unit 4 is arranged within the range of the second magnetic field generated by the second electromagnetic coil 2.

[0044] The first placement unit 3 includes a first induction coil 5 , a first end of the first induction coil 5 is connected to a first end of the first placement unit 3 , and a second end of the first induction coil 5 is connected to a second end of the first placement unit 3 to form a first closed loop.

[0045] The second storage unit 4 includes a second induction coil 6 , a first end of the second induction coil 6 is connected to a first end of the second storage unit 4 , and a second end of the second induction coil 6 is connected to a second end of the second storage unit 4 to form a second closed loop.

[0046] In a specific embodiment, an on-off switch may be provided in a first closed loop formed by interconnecting the first induction coil 5 and the first identification component. When the on-off switch is closed, the circuit between the first induction coil 5 and the first identification component is complete, and normal electromagnetic induction and identification operations of the identification component can be performed. Similarly, an on-off switch may be provided in a second closed loop formed by interconnecting the second induction coil 6 and the second identification component.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, when the magnetic field strength at the placement unit changes, the induction coil obtains induced currents in different directions and distinguishes the storage types of the first placement unit 3 and the second placement unit 4 .

[0048] In a specific embodiment, when the food in the storage unit changes, the induction coil obtains induced currents in different directions and distinguishes the storage types of the first storage unit 3 and the second storage unit 4.

[0049] Specifically, when the food at the first storage unit 3 changes, the first induction coil 5 obtains an induced current in a first direction and distinguishes the storage type of the first storage unit 3. When the food at the second storage unit 4 changes, the second induction coil 6 obtains an induced current in a second direction and distinguishes the storage type of the second storage unit 4.

[0050] For example, based on a preset mapping relationship or a preset determination rule, when the direction of the induced current in the induction coil at the placement unit is positive, the placement unit is determined to be a dry storage area; when the direction of the induced current in the induction coil at the placement unit is reverse, the placement unit is determined to be a wet storage area.

[0051] In addition, the first induction coil 5 can be arranged in the first storage unit 3 (as shown in FIG. 1 ) or at the bottom of the first storage unit 3 ; similarly, the second induction coil 6 can be arranged in the second storage unit 4 (as shown in FIG. 1 ) or at the bottom of the second storage unit 4 , and the present invention does not impose any specific limitation on this.

[0052] In a specific embodiment, the storage unit (including the first storage unit 3 and the second storage unit 4) can be a fresh-keeping box with a cover, specifically including a box cover and a box body, the box body including an opening, and the box cover is arranged at the opening. The box cover and the box body can be combined by snap connection, thread connection, magnet connection or other connection methods to form a closed space for storing food. The box cover can also include a cover plate, which is arranged on one side of the box cover facing the box body opening, and a first induction coil 5 is arranged between the box cover and the other side of the cover plate.

[0053] In another specific embodiment, the storage unit (including the first storage unit 3 and the second storage unit 4) can be, for example, a fresh-keeping drawer with an opening, specifically including an open box body, and the first induction coil 5 is arranged inside the box body or at the bottom outside the box body. There is no specific limitation on the structural design of the storage unit and the positional relationship between the storage unit and the induction coil.

[0054] In order to distinguish the storage type of the storage unit more simply and intuitively, an identification component can be set in it. Based on this, in one embodiment, the second component 12 includes a first identification component and a second identification component, the first end of the first identification component is connected to the first end of the first induction coil 5, and the second end of the first identification component is connected to the second end of the first induction coil 5; when the food in the first storage unit 3 changes, the first identification component outputs a first indication information.

[0055] The first end of the second identification component is connected to the first end of the second induction coil 6 , and the second end thereof is connected to the second end of the second induction coil 6 ; when the food in the second storage unit 4 changes, the second identification component outputs second indication information.

[0056] In a specific embodiment, the first identification component and the second identification component are corresponding to the first sensor light and the second sensor light, such as a light emitting diode (also known as an LED light), and the corresponding first indication information is the color of the first sensor light, and the second indication information is the color of the second sensor light. The first storage unit 3 can be a dry area drawer, and the second storage unit 4 can be a wet area drawer.

[0057] In this embodiment, the dry area drawer is within the range of the first magnetic field, and the wet area drawer is within the range of the second magnetic field. Since the magnetic field directions of the first magnetic field and the second magnetic field are different, the directions of the induced currents generated in the first closed loop and the second closed loop are different. When the induction coil (first induction coil 5) in the dry area drawer senses the first magnetic field and generates an induced current, it triggers an LED of one color to emit light (for example, blue); and when the second induction coil 6 in the wet area drawer senses the second magnetic field and generates an induced current, it triggers an induction light of another color (for example, red). In this way, based on the preset mapping relationship, the user can intuitively match the dry area drawer and the wet area drawer with the corresponding dry area environment and the wet area environment by observing the color of the LED light.

[0058] 1( b ), the partition storage device 100 further includes a second support member 14 for supporting the first component 11. As shown in FIG. 2( b ), the partition storage device 100 further includes a first support member 13 and a third support member 15 for supporting the first component 11.

[0059] Combination Figure 2(b) and 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the partition storage device 100 also includes: a first support member 13, a second support member 14 and a third support member 15, all of which are fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the storage device 100; the first storage unit 3 is arranged between the first support member 13 and the second support member 14, and the second storage unit 4 is arranged between the second support member 14 and the third support member 15.

[0060] The first storage unit 3 can be configured to be pulled forward and backward in the storage device 100 to open or close the first storage unit 3, and the second storage unit 4 can be configured to be pulled forward and backward in the storage device to open or close the second storage unit 4.

[0061] In this embodiment, the second support member 14 is used to effectively separate the first storage unit 3 and the second storage unit 4, so that the two storage units are physically independent of each other, thereby meeting different storage needs or environmental requirements. In addition, the first support member 13 and the second support member 14 together provide a stable spatial structure for the first storage unit 3, so that it can be firmly installed inside the storage device 100. Similarly, the second support member 14 and the third support member 15 together provide a stable spatial structure for the second storage unit 4. Such a design can not only ensure the structural stability of the partition storage device 100, but also meet the needs of partition storage.

[0062] Continue to refer to Figure 3As shown, the second support member 14 includes a support base 14-1 and a filling cavity 14-2 installed on the support base 14-1, the support base 14-1 is fixedly arranged in the partition storage device 100, and the filling cavity 14-2 is filled with a magnetic blocking filler. By arranging the magnetic blocking filler in the second support member 14, the first magnetic field and the second magnetic field between the first placement unit 3 and the second placement unit 4 can be effectively isolated to avoid interference.

[0063] Continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the first component 11 includes a first cover plate 11-1 and a second cover plate 11-2, the first electromagnetic coil 1 is arranged at a first position between the first cover plate 11-1 and the second cover plate 11-2, and the second electromagnetic coil 2 is arranged at a second position between the first cover plate 11-1 and the second cover plate 11-2, and the first position and the second position are different. The first position is located above the first storage unit 3, and the second position is located above the second storage unit 4.

[0064] Continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the first component 11 forms an assembly relationship with at least two of the first support member 13 , the second support member 14 and the third support member 15 to form a storage space of the first storage unit 3 and / or the second storage unit 4 .

[0065] Specifically, the first end of the first component 11 is fixed to the first end of the first support member 13, which can be achieved by a mounting hole, a buckle, a bolt or other fastening method, or it can be overlapped at the first end of the first support member 13, and the second end of the first support member 13 is fixedly set at the corresponding inner tank of the storage device; the second end of the first component 11 is fixed to the first end of the second support member 14, or it can be overlapped at the first ends of the second support member 14 and; and / or, the second end of the first component 11 contacts the first end of the third support member 15, or it can be overlapped at the first ends of the third support member 15 and. The second end 14 of the second support member and the second end of the third support member 15 are both fixedly set at the corresponding inner tank of the storage device.

[0066] In one embodiment, in the vertical direction, the first support member 13, the second support member 14 and the third support member 15 have the same height. In this way, by setting the equal heights, it is not only possible to ensure that the support members are evenly distributed in the vertical direction, thereby providing a stable supporting force; it is also helpful to ensure that the magnetic field is evenly distributed in the vertical direction, thereby increasing the efficiency and consistency of the interaction between the magnetic field and the closed loop. In addition, in other embodiments, the first component 11 can also be directly fixed to the corresponding inner tank of the partition storage device 100.

[0067] Continue to refer to Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the first component 11 further includes an anti-interference component 11-3, which is disposed between the first electromagnetic coil 1 and the second electromagnetic coil 2. The anti-interference component 11-3 is used to prevent magnetic field interference between the first electromagnetic coil 1 and the second electromagnetic coil 3.

[0068] An embodiment of the present invention provides a refrigerator, wherein a partition storage device is arranged in the refrigerator compartment.

[0069] In one embodiment, the partition storage device may adopt any of the embodiments or devices described in the specific embodiments described above.

[0070] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a method for detecting a partition storage type is provided.

[0071] The partition storage type detection method is applied to a storage device.

[0072] In one embodiment, the storage device may be configured as described above, and the corresponding technical solution is configured and referenced in the positioning method provided by the present invention.

[0073] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a partition storage type detection method is provided, comprising the following steps.

[0074] Step S1, providing a current flowing in a first direction to the first electromagnetic coil, so that when the object at the first storage unit changes, the first induction coil obtains an induced current in the first direction;

[0075] Step S2, providing a current flowing in a second direction to the second electromagnetic coil, so that when the object at the second storage unit changes, the second induction coil obtains an induced current in the second direction;

[0076] Step S3, distinguishing the storage types of the first placement unit and the second placement unit according to the current direction of the induced current.

[0077] In this way, by converting the magnetic field direction that is difficult to measure and observe into the current direction that is easy to detect and identify, and distinguishing the storage types of the storage units corresponding to different partitions according to the current direction, a simple and effective area identification method is realized. The present invention converts the magnetic field direction that is difficult to measure and observe into the current direction that is easy to detect and identify, and distinguishes the storage types of the storage units corresponding to different partitions according to the current direction, a simple and effective area identification method is realized.

[0078] In one embodiment, the partitioned storage device is a fresh-keeping drawer, which includes a dry area drawer and a wet area drawer. By using step S1 and step S2, different directions of magnetic fields in different drawers can be achieved, providing a basis for the partitioned storage of food.

[0079] Specifically, this embodiment provides current to different electromagnetic coils, thereby generating magnetic fields of different directions in corresponding storage units (such as dry area drawers and wet area drawers). Since the directions of the magnetic fields in different storage units are different, when the items change in these areas, the directions of the induced currents captured by the induction coils will also be different. This difference provides a physical basis for distinguishing storage types in different areas (such as dry areas and wet areas).

[0080] One embodiment of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium.

[0081] In one embodiment, a computer readable storage medium stores a computer program executed by the processor mentioned above, or a detection method for a partition storage device in any of the technical solutions mentioned above.

[0082] When the processor executes the computer program, it can execute the description of the detection method of the partition storage device in any of the above technical solutions, so it will not be repeated here. In addition, the description of the beneficial effects of using the same method will not be repeated.

[0083] The computer-readable storage medium may include: a flash drive, a read-only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), a magnetic disk or an optical disk, etc.

[0084] In summary, the present invention provides a partition storage device and a detection method thereof, and a refrigerator. A first electromagnetic coil and a second electromagnetic coil are used to generate a first magnetic field and a second magnetic field in opposite directions, respectively, and these magnetic fields act on the induction coils in the corresponding storage units. Due to the difference in the direction of the magnetic field, the direction of the induced current generated by the induction coil when the induction coil detects a change in the food material will also be different, and then the different storage areas are distinguished by the difference in the direction of the current. This method is not only intuitive and reliable, but also avoids confusion and errors that may be caused by relying on additional identification or manual memory, thereby improving the preservation effect of food materials and the accuracy of storage management.

The technical solutions in each implementation mode may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent implementation methods or changes that do not deviate from the technical spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
