Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of smart refrigerators, and in particular to a beverage refrigerator linkage system. Background Art

[0002] A beverage refrigerator is a refrigeration device specially designed for storing various beverages. Its core function is to effectively extend the service life of beverages by maintaining a suitable low-temperature environment and ensure that the beverages meet specific temperature conditions during storage, thereby maintaining their best taste and quality.

[0003] In modern society, the beverage market is extremely rich and diverse. These beverages are usually marked with an unopened shelf life ranging from 12 months to 2 years, providing consumers with a wide range of choices. However, once the beverage bottle cap is opened, its service life quickly enters a countdown state. This is because after the beverage comes into contact with the air, its ingredients begin to undergo oxidation reactions and are susceptible to contamination by external microorganisms, causing the quality of the beverage to rapidly deteriorate. Generally speaking, the shelf life of beverages after opening is greatly shortened, often only lasting a few days, depending on the type of beverage, storage conditions, and how it is handled after opening.

[0004] In this context, the role of beverage refrigerators is particularly important. Unfortunately, the beverage refrigerators currently available on the market generally have a significant technical limitation: they are all designed as fixed-setting devices.

[0040] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a beverage refrigerator linkage system for the present application.

[0042] See also Figure 1 It can be seen that this embodiment provides a beverage refrigerator linkage system, the system comprising:

[0043] At least one beverage refrigerator, wherein beverages are stored inside the beverage refrigerator.

[0044] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the beverage refrigerator is used to store beverages, wherein different kinds of beverages can be stored in different areas of the beverage refrigerator, thereby making it easy to take the beverages away.

[0045] The system further comprises:

[0046] At least one robot component is communicatively connected to the beverage refrigerator; the robot component is configured to transfer a corresponding beverage from the beverage refrigerator to a location of a corresponding user according to target beverage demand information of at least one user; the target beverage demand information is generated according to corresponding beverage demand or beverage selection information.

[0047] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the robot component is used to get drinks for the user. According to the target drink demand information of the corresponding user, the robot component moves to the drink refrigerator that has the required drinks and is closest to the user, and takes the drinks required by the user from the drink refrigerator, and finally moves to the user's location with the drinks. In this way, drinks can be quickly provided to the user according to the user's needs within a certain distance, thereby achieving a rapid response to user needs.

[0048] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the interior of a beverage refrigerator in a beverage refrigerator linkage system of the present application.

[0049] See also Figure 2 It can be seen that, further, in some embodiments, the beverage refrigerator includes:

[0050] A storage module is arranged in the beverage refrigerator, and the storage module has a plurality of independent storage spaces, each of which is configured to store a corresponding type of beverage.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the storage module serves as an internal structure of the beverage refrigerator, and is used to store different types of beverages. The storage module can be understood as a refrigerator liner having a plurality of independent compartments, through which different types of beverages are stored, and these independent compartments can also perform independent refrigeration cycles, thereby further enhancing the user's product experience.

[0052] The robot assembly comprises:

[0053] A mobile robot module moves within a preset space, wherein the preset space includes a two-dimensional space and a three-dimensional space; the mobile robot module is configured to transfer a corresponding type of beverage from the corresponding storage space to the user's location according to the target beverage demand instruction.

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mobile robot module serves as a moving component in the robot assembly, and its function is to move freely in a preset space, take out the drinks required by the user from the corresponding drink refrigerator, and bring them to the user's location.

[0055] It should be noted that, considering that the application scenarios of the present system include ordinary households and shopping malls, the house structure of an ordinary household is generally a one-story building structure, so it is only necessary to preset two-dimensional plane movement in the robot component to realize beverage service; and if it is applied to places such as shopping malls or hotels, it is generally a multi-story building structure, and there will be a need to move and transport beverages between multiple floors. Therefore, this embodiment also presets the function of three-dimensional plane movement in the robot component, that is, to shuttle between multiple floors, thereby realizing the dual use of homes as well as shopping malls, hotels and other places.

[0056] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a robot component in a beverage refrigerator linkage system in the present application.

[0057] See also Figure 3 It can be seen that, further, in some embodiments, the robot component also includes a voice module, and the voice module includes:

[0058] A voice receiving unit, wherein the voice receiving unit is configured to generate target beverage demand information; the target beverage demand information is generated according to the user's beverage demand wake-up word; the target beverage demand information includes first demand information for a specified beverage type and second demand information for an unspecified beverage type.

[0059] In this embodiment, the voice receiving unit is mainly used to obtain the user's target beverage demand information and provide an information data basis for subsequent beverage delivery.

[0060] Among them, taking into account the situation that there are cases where the user specifies the type of drink in the voice and does not specify the type of drink, the present embodiment divides the target drink demand information into the first demand information and the second demand information, and the first demand information and the second demand information are used to respectively represent the user indication of the specified drink type and the user indication of the unspecified drink type.

[0061] Among them, when the user has specified the type of drink in the voice, the robot component can directly take the corresponding type of drink and deliver it to the user's location; if the user has not specified the type of drink in the voice, it is necessary to recommend drinks to the user later.

[0062] The voice module also includes:

[0063] A voice broadcast unit, wherein the voice broadcast unit is configured to broadcast information for feedback to the user.

[0064] Specifically, in this embodiment, the voice announcement unit can be used as a unit to prompt the user of any information. For example, when all beverage refrigerators do not store the beverages required by the user, the voice announcement unit can be used to announce to the user that the beverages are insufficient.

[0065] It should be noted that all information used to be played to the user must be implemented through the voice broadcast unit, and no excessive restrictions are made on the specific content of the voice broadcast unit.

[0066] It should be noted that the voice module is a distributed structure of the voice receiving unit and the voice broadcasting unit, that is, in order to facilitate the acquisition of user voice information, several voice receiving units can be set on the robot component, and such a setting also facilitates the positioning of the user.

[0067] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the user's position is located by the voice receiving unit, and the specific method can be understood as follows:

[0068] The specific method for identifying the room position is as follows: the refrigerator first determines an origin coordinate (0, 0, 0), which can be a certain point in the resident's living room, or the starting point of the resident's entrance, or a certain point in the bathroom, or the location of the user himself. In the embodiment of the present invention, the location of the user is taken as the origin coordinate (0, 0, 0), and the camera component shoots the initial positioning coordinate of the positioning device, such as the azimuth diagram of the pointer south; then the moving component is driven to move, the timing device records the duration of the movement T1, measures the distance L1=V1*T1 at this time, and shoots the positioning coordinate D1 (which can be an orientation representation) of the positioning device through the camera device, and records the location of the room, which can be the location of the window, or the location of the bedroom, or the location of the study, or the location of the living room, the location of the kitchen, the location of the bathroom, etc.; continue to drive the moving component to move, so as to record T2, V2; T3, V3; T4, V4, respectively calculate L2, L3, L4; and record the positioning coordinates of D2, D3, D4. L2=V2×T2,L3=V3×T3,L4=V4×T4. L1 / L2L3 / L4 can be connected into a graph and calculated.

[0069] The above user location positioning method is only one feasible method, and this embodiment does not impose any limitation on other positioning methods.

[0070] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the robot assembly further comprises:

[0071] A face detection module, wherein the face detection module is configured to detect the facial state of the corresponding user and generate facial state information; the facial state information includes at least one of facial age information, facial dryness information, facial glossiness information and facial roughness information;

[0072] A beverage pushing module, wherein the beverage pushing module is configured as follows:

[0073] Visually displaying a drink recommendation list; the drink recommendation list is generated according to the facial status information;

[0074] The beverage selection information is generated according to a selection made by a user in the beverage recommendation list.

[0075] Specifically, in this embodiment, the current facial state of the user is acquired through the face detection module, and the beverage push module recommends beverages to the user according to the current facial state of the user.

[0076] It should be noted that the face detection module and the beverage push module can only work when the target beverage demand information is the second demand information. When the target beverage demand information is the first demand information, the face detection module and the beverage push module are both in a dormant state or a standby state.

[0077] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the robot assembly further comprises:

[0078] A personalized information acquisition module, wherein the personalized information acquisition module is configured to acquire the real-time location and real-time time of the corresponding user and generate personalized information;

[0079] The beverage push module is further configured to generate the beverage recommendation list according to the facial status information and the personalized information.

[0080] Specifically, in this embodiment, the real-time location and time of the user are obtained through the personalized information acquisition module, and the user's drink needs at what location and time can be obtained, so as to generate drink recommendations that meet the user's personalized needs. The personalized information and the user's current facial status information can better provide the user with the drink recommendation list.

[0081] For example, if the user selects "Drink A" multiple times within the time range of 11:30 to 12:30 and in a restaurant, then the drink recommendation list provided to the user subsequently will increase the number of recommendations for Drink A in this time period and at this location.

[0082] It should be noted that the real-time location and the real-time time obtained by the personalized information acquisition module are both broad concepts, that is, the time is not limited to the time of the day, but can also be the season of the year at that time. The real-time location is not limited to the location in a room, but can also be the geographical location area.

[0083] It is understandable that the age, dryness, smoothness and roughness of each person's face will change in different seasons, and the room temperature conditions in different seasons vary greatly. In order to push the right drinks and push the types of drinks, seasonal factors are taken into consideration. The storage conditions of drinks in different seasons are also different.

[0084] For example, in spring, the humidity gradually increases, which makes the face gradually stretch and moisturize. After a winter of shielding, the face is less smooth, but the roughness is still relatively deep. At this time, you can use relatively light and hydrating drinks, and the drinking process is mainly for hydration. During the Spring Festival, the temperature and humidity gradually increase, and it is also the season when bacteria reproduce actively. Drinks during use need to be supplemented with mineral-containing drinks.

[0085] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the robot assembly further includes a control module, and the control module is configured to:

[0086] When the target beverage demand information is the first demand information, a first driving instruction is generated; the first driving instruction is used to drive the mobile robot module to move the type of beverage corresponding to the first demand information from the corresponding storage space to the location of the corresponding user.

[0087] Specifically, in this embodiment, the control module generates a final beverage delivery instruction based on the user's demand information; if the user's target beverage demand information is the first demand information, a first driving instruction is generated to drive the mobile robot module to move the type of beverage corresponding to the first demand information from the corresponding storage space to the corresponding user's location.

[0088] It can be understood that the control module is a module for issuing instructions, and the voice module, the face detection module, the beverage push module and the personalized information acquisition module all belong to the data acquisition module.

[0089] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the control module is further configured to:

[0090] When the target beverage demand information is the second demand information, an information acquisition instruction is generated; the information acquisition instruction is used to drive the personalized information acquisition module and the face detection module to acquire information;

[0091] A second driving instruction is generated according to the beverage selection information; the second driving instruction is used to drive the mobile robot module to move the beverage of the type corresponding to the beverage selection information from the corresponding storage space to the location of the corresponding user.

[0092] Specifically, in this embodiment, since the user does not specify the type of beverage when the target beverage demand information is the second demand information, it is necessary to use the voice module, the face detection module, the beverage push module and the personalized information acquisition module to generate the beverage recommendation list to provide beverage recommendations to the user.

[0093] During the process of recommending drinks, the face detection module, the drink push module and the personalized information acquisition module are all in standby mode. When the voice module detects that the target drink demand information is the second demand information, the face detection module, the drink push module and the personalized information acquisition module are awakened by the voice module, and data is acquired. Finally, all the information is collected in the control module to generate a driving instruction for the user to transport the corresponding type of drink to the corresponding location.

[0094] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the beverage refrigerator further includes:

[0095] a beverage classification module, the beverage classification module being configured to obtain beverage category information of the beverage stored in each of the storage spaces;

[0096] A refrigerator control module, wherein the refrigerator control module is configured to adjust the storage environment corresponding to the storage space according to the beverage type information or a user adjustment instruction.

[0097] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the beverage classification module and the refrigerator control module are both built inside the beverage refrigerator, and the beverage classification module is used to obtain in real time the types of beverages stored inside the beverage refrigerator, and the types of beverages stored in each storage space are obtained, and the storage environment of the corresponding storage space is adjusted according to the beverage type information or user adjustment instructions through the refrigerator control module, that is, the ambient temperature of each independent storage space is adjusted.

[0098] It should be noted that the beverage classification module is also communicatively connected to the robot component, so the beverages in the storage space where the beverage types are chaotically stored can also be adjusted by the robot component.

[0099] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the robot assembly further comprises:

[0100] An information sharing module, wherein the information sharing module is configured to share shared information to the personalized information acquisition module of each robot component when there are at least two robot components in the preset space; the shared information is generated based on the historical beverage selection information of the user and the personalized information corresponding to the historical beverage selection information.

[0101] Specifically, in this embodiment, taking into account that when the system is applied to places such as shopping malls, there will be multiple robot components serving the same area, and there will be a certain overlap in the beverage demands of users in the same area, the information sharing module is set to share the historical information of each robot component in real time, so that multiple robot components can simultaneously have the beverage demand preferences of users in multiple blocks, which on the one hand improves the user's product experience, and on the other hand reduces the data calculation pressure.

[0102] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the beverage selection information includes the number of times the user selects a corresponding type of beverage.

[0103] Specifically, in this embodiment, considering that the number of times a user selects a drink in a shopping mall or other occasions also belongs to the user's drink demand preference, by adding the number of times the user selects a corresponding type of drink in the drink selection information, a drink recommendation service can be better provided to the user.

[0104] This embodiment has the following advantages:

[0105] The beverage refrigerator linkage system provided in the embodiment of the present invention can not only preserve beverages, but also adjust the storage conditions to extend the shelf life of the beverages; it can also be moved freely to the user's location for the user to store or take out beverages, or replace beverages; in addition, the refrigerator linkage system can also add self-charging function, self-cleaning function, and complete garbage cleaning in specified areas and other functions.

[0106] The present application is described in detail above in conjunction with specific implementation methods and exemplary examples, but these descriptions cannot be understood as limiting the present application. Those skilled in the art understand that, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, a variety of equivalent replacements, modifications or improvements can be made to the technical solution of the present application and its implementation methods, all of which fall within the scope of the present application.
