[0035] Combine Figure 1-2As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a rapid-cooling refrigerator, including: a box body 200, a door body 300, a bottle holder 400, a rapid-cooling air duct 500, a detection component 600, and a controller component 700. A low-temperature storage area 201 is defined inside the box body 200; the door body 300 movably covers the opening of the low-temperature storage area 201; the bottle holder 400 is arranged on one side of the door body 300 facing the low-temperature storage area 201; the rapid-cooling air duct 500 is arranged inside the door body 300 and includes an air inlet 501 and an air outlet 502. The air inlet 501 is communicated with the low-temperature storage area 201, and the air outlet 502 is communicated with the bottle holder 400; the detection component 600 is used to obtain the number of people in the room and the number of drinks to be stored; the controller component 700 is connected to the detection component 600 and is used to control the working state of the rapid-cooling air duct 500 according to the number of people in the room and the number of drinks to be stored obtained by the detection component 600.

[0036] By using the rapid-cooling refrigerator provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, a rapid-cooling air duct 500 is arranged inside the refrigerator. The rapid-cooling air duct 500 is respectively communicated with the low-temperature storage area 201 and the bottle holder 400, so that the low-temperature air flow in the low-temperature storage area 201 can be quickly blown to the bottle holder 400 part, the flow rate of the low-temperature air flow in the bottle holder 400 part can be increased, and the temperature of the bottle holder 400 part can be quickly taken away, and the drinks stored in the bottle holder 400 part can be quickly cooled. Moreover, the detection component 600 can obtain the number of people in the room and the number of drinks to be stored. Accordingly, the rapid-cooling air duct 500 can be controlled to enter the working state in advance, and the bottle holder 400 area can be cooled before the drinks are put into the bottle holder 400, further improving the cooling effect after the drinks are put in, and the user does not need to start the rapid-cooling function, reducing the waiting time of the user and improving the user experience.

[0037] Optionally, the detection component 600 includes an image detection unit, which is network-connected to an indoor intelligent camera, or a camera built in the refrigerator, or an intelligent portal camera, or a camera of other household appliances, and is used to obtain the number of people in the room and the number of drinks to be stored. In this way, by obtaining the image of the room through the camera and analyzing the room through the image detection unit to determine the number of people in the room and the number of drinks to be stored, the accuracy of judging the number of people in the room and the number of drinks to be stored can be improved.

[0038] In some embodiments, the detection component 600 further includes a network information acquisition unit, which is connected to the user's intelligent terminal and is used to obtain the shopping information and obtain the number of drinks to be stored according to the user's shopping information. In this way, the number of drinks to be stored in the room can be more accurately judged through the user's shopping information, such as shopping information in the supermarket, or online shopping information, or takeout ordering information, etc., improving the control accuracy.

[0039] Optionally, a refrigeration air outlet 202 is provided inside the box body 200, and the air inlet 501 of the rapid cooling air duct 500 faces the refrigeration air outlet 202 and is opposite to the refrigeration air outlet 202. In this way, a refrigeration air outlet 202 is provided inside the box body 200 to supply cold air to the low-temperature storage area 201 inside the box body 200. The air inlet 501 of the rapid cooling air duct 500 faces the cold air outlet and is opposite to the cold air outlet, so that the rapid cooling air duct 500 can directly draw the air discharged from the refrigeration air outlet 202, direct the airflow with a relatively low temperature to the bottle seat 400, further reduce the temperature at the bottle seat 400, improve the rapid cooling effect near the bottle seat 400, and maintain a higher rapid cooling efficiency at the bottle seat 400.

[0040] Optionally, the refrigeration air outlet 202 is provided on the rear side wall inside the box body 200 and in the upper area of the low-temperature storage area 201. In this way, by providing the refrigeration air outlet 202 inside the box body 200 and in the upper area of the low-temperature storage area 201, the cold quantity can sink from top to bottom, improving the uniformity of refrigeration in the low-temperature storage area 201.

[0041] It can be understood that the refrigeration air outlet 202 discharges air forward towards the rear side wall of the box body 200. When the door body 300 is closed, the air inlet 501 of the rapid cooling air duct 500 faces the rear side wall of the box body 200, and the refrigeration air outlet 202 and the air inlet 501 are on the same horizontal plane. In this way, the cold air in the refrigeration air outlet 202 can be better introduced into the rapid cooling air duct 500, improving the rapid cooling effect.

[0042] Optionally, a fan 503 is provided inside the rapid cooling air duct 500. In this way, the fan 503 inside the rapid cooling air duct 500 is used to increase the airflow speed entering the rapid cooling air duct 500, thereby improving the convective heat transfer effect, being able to better cool the beverages stored at the bottle seat 400, and improving the rapid cooling efficiency.

[0043] Optionally, one end of the rapid cooling air duct 500 close to the air inlet 501 has an air cavity 504, and the fan 503 is arranged inside the air cavity 504. In this way, the fan 503 can be better accommodated, providing an installation space for the fan 503.

[0044] Optionally, the fan 503 is a centrifugal fan. In this way, by utilizing the characteristic of the centrifugal fan to change the airflow direction, the refrigeration airflow can be better conveyed downward through the rapid cooling air duct 500.

[0045] Optionally, a cold storage part 505 is provided on the side wall of the rapid cooling air duct 500. In this way, by using the cold storage part 505 provided on the side wall of the rapid cooling air duct 500, a certain amount of cold energy is stored in advance. During the rapid cooling process, the cold energy of the cold storage part 505 can be used to maintain the low temperature in the rapid cooling air duct 500, further reduce the temperature of the air flow blown out from the rapid cooling air duct 500, and then blow the low-temperature air flow to the bottle seat 400, improving the rapid cooling efficiency at the bottle seat 400, reducing the waiting time of the user, and enhancing the user experience.

[0046] Optionally, the cold storage part 505 wraps the rapid cooling air duct 500. In this way, cold energy can be stored through the cold storage part 505. When using the rapid cooling air duct 500 to rapidly cool the beverage, the cold energy of the cold storage part 505 can be better released through the rapid cooling air duct 500, further improving the rapid cooling efficiency.

[0047] It can be understood that the cold storage part 505 can be the metal side wall of the rapid cooling air duct 500. In this way, by setting the side wall of the rapid cooling air duct 500 as a metal side wall, using the high heat conduction characteristic of the metal, the cold energy can be quickly absorbed and transferred to the vicinity of the bottle seat 400, better rapidly cooling the beverage in the bottle seat 400.

[0048] Optionally, the bottle seat 400 is also made of metal. In this way, the cold energy conduction efficiency near the bottle seat 400 can be further improved by using the metal bottle seat 400, reducing the temperature of the bottle seat 400, and enhancing the rapid cooling efficiency of the beverage in the bottle seat 400.

[0049] Preferably, the above-mentioned metal material can be stainless steel. In this way, the stainless steel material not only has high cold energy conduction efficiency, has a certain cold storage capacity, but also has good corrosion resistance, a smooth surface, and a long service life.

[0050] Optionally, there are multiple bottle seats 400, and there are also multiple air outlets 502 of the rapid cooling air duct 500. Each bottle seat 400 is correspondingly provided with one or more air outlets 502. In this way, more beverages can be stored through the multiple bottle seats 400, and each bottle seat 400 is correspondingly provided with an air outlet 502. Different air outlets 502 can be selected to be opened, controlling different bottle seats 400 to be in the rapid cooling state or in the normal storage state. Furthermore, the rapid cooling state of the bottle seat 400 can be better controlled according to the user's needs, and different beverages can be stored.

[0051] Optionally, a temperature sensor 401 is provided corresponding to each bottle holder 400, and a switching valve is provided corresponding to each air outlet 502. In this way, the temperature sensor 401 in the bottle holder 400 detects the temperature of the drink stored in the bottle holder 400, and then it can be determined whether the drink reaches the set temperature. Accordingly, the switching valves in each air outlet 502 can be controlled, and the rapid cooling process can be better controlled.

[0052] Optionally, the temperature sensor 401 is an infrared thermometer. Preferably, the temperature sensor 401 uses an infrared thermometer with a response wavelength of 2-2.6 um, and the device can penetrate glass or plastic containers to measure the accurate temperature of the liquid inside. In this way, the temperature inside the drink can be directly measured, and the actual temperature of the drink can be judged more accurately, avoiding the difference between the temperature of the drink bottle and the temperature inside the drink, which may lead to misjudgment of the drink temperature.

[0053] Optionally, the switching valves of each air outlet 502 can be controlled separately. In this way, the opening of different air outlets 502 can be controlled separately, which is convenient for controlling whether different bottle holders 400 are in the rapid cooling state. Different numbers of air outlets 502 can be started according to different numbers of drinks, better meeting the user's usage requirements and improving the user's usage experience.

[0054] Combined with Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method for a rapid cooling refrigerator, including:

[0055] S01, obtaining the number of people in the room and the number of drinks to be stored;

[0056] S02, controlling the working state of the rapid cooling air duct according to the number of people in the room and the number of drinks to be stored obtained by the detection component.

[0057] By using the control method for the rapid cooling refrigerator provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, by obtaining the number of people in the room and the number of drinks to be stored, the user's need for rapid cooling of drinks can be better judged according to the relationship between the two. Accordingly, the working state of the rapid cooling air duct can be controlled, the rapid cooling function can be turned on in advance, and the drinks can be cooled faster after being put in, improving the rapid cooling efficiency. And there is no need for the user to manually turn on the rapid cooling function, which is more intelligent and improves the user's usage experience.

[0058] Optionally, obtaining the number of people in the room includes:

[0059] Obtaining the number of people in the room by means of image recognition or infrared human sensing. In this way, the number of people in the room can be detected more accurately, improving the accuracy of detection.

[0060] Optionally, obtaining the number of drinks to be stored includes:

[0061] Obtain the user's storage intention;

[0062] When it is determined that the user has a storage intention, obtain the quantity of the beverage to be stored. In this way, by obtaining whether the user has a storage intention and then obtaining the quantity of the beverage to be stored, it is possible to avoid misjudgment in the case where the user stores the beverage indoors instead of in the refrigerator, improve the accuracy of the control of the quick-cooling air duct, and avoid the misactivation of the quick-cooling air duct.

[0063] Optionally, obtaining the user's storage intention includes:

[0064] Obtain the user's voice through voice recognition technology, and determine that the user has a storage intention when the keyword of storing the beverage is included in the user's voice; and / or

[0065] Obtain the user's behavior through image recognition technology, and determine that the user has a storage intention when the user holds the beverage and walks towards the refrigerator. In this way, it is possible to obtain what the user says indoors or the user's behavior, and judge the user's storage intention based on whether the user has a demand for storing beverages. The judgment method is simple and accurate. For example, when the user says indoors "Put the drink in the refrigerator" and other keywords involving "beverage noun" and "put in the refrigerator", it is determined that the user has a storage intention; for another example, when the user holds the beverage and moves towards the direction of the refrigerator indoors, it can also be determined that the user has a storage intention. By judging whether the user has a storage intention, it is possible to more accurately obtain the user's demand in advance before the user is about to put the beverage in the refrigerator, and control the working state of the quick-cooling air duct in advance, improving the user's intelligent experience and the quick-cooling efficiency.

[0066] Optionally, obtain the quantity of the beverage to be stored by image recognition technology or by obtaining the user's shopping information through the network terminal. In this way, when the user purchases beverages, the quantity of the beverages can be determined, and the quantity of the beverage to be stored can be determined more accurately.

[0067] Combined Figure 4 As shown, optionally, S02, control the working state of the quick-cooling air duct according to the number of people in the room obtained by the detection component and the quantity of the beverage to be stored, including:

[0068] S21, when the number of people in the room is greater than or equal to the quantity of the beverage to be stored, control the quick-cooling air duct to turn on;

[0069] S22. When the number of people in the room is less than the number of drinks to be stored, obtain the types of drinks to be stored, and control the working state of the quick-cooling air duct according to the types of drinks to be stored. In this way, when the number of people in the room is more than the number of drinks to be stored, it indicates that the user has a need to drink chilled drinks when storing drinks in the refrigerator at this time. At this time, control the quick-cooling air duct to open, so that the quick-cooling air duct can introduce cold air in advance, improving the quick-cooling efficiency after the drinks are put in; when the number of people in the room is less than the number of drinks to be stored, it is necessary to determine whether the user has a need to drink chilled drinks according to the types of drinks, and control the working state of the quick-cooling air duct accordingly, which can more accurately determine the user's needs and improve the user experience.

[0070] Combined with Figure 5 As shown, optionally, S22. When the number of people in the room is less than the number of drinks to be stored, controlling the working state of the quick-cooling air duct according to the types of drinks to be stored includes:

[0071] S23. Obtain the corresponding relationship between the average single consumption of the user and the types of drinks;

[0072] S24. Determine the average single consumption of the user corresponding to the types of drinks to be stored, and calculate the total single consumption of the people in the room;

[0073] S25. Control the working state of the quick-cooling air duct according to the relationship between the total single consumption of the people in the room and the number of drinks to be stored. In this way, through the corresponding relationship between the average single consumption of the user and the types of drinks, determine the total single consumption of the number of people in the room, and judge whether the user has an immediate need to drink the drinks to be stored accordingly, and control whether to turn on the quick-cooling function of the quick-cooling air duct accordingly, so that it can better turn on the quick-cooling air duct in advance according to the user's needs, and then facilitate improving the quick-cooling efficiency of the drinks after they are put in.

[0074] Optionally, when it is determined that the total amount of drinks consumed by the people indoors at one time is greater than or equal to the number of drinks to be stored, the quick-cooling air duct is controlled to open; conversely, when it is determined that the total amount of drinks consumed by the people indoors at one time is less than the number of drinks to be stored, the quick-cooling air duct is controlled to maintain the current working state. In this way, when the total amount of drinks consumed by the people indoors at one time is greater than or equal to the number of drinks to be stored, and it is determined that the user has a need to put drinks into the refrigerator at this time, it indicates that the user is more likely to quickly cool the drinks. At this time, controlling the quick-cooling air duct to open can use the quick-cooling air duct to cool the part of the bottle holder in advance, improving the quick-cooling efficiency after the drinks are put in; conversely, when the total amount of drinks consumed by the people indoors at one time is less than the number of drinks to be stored, it means that even if the user has a need to store drinks in the refrigerator at this time, the possibility of quickly cooling the drinks is not high. At this time, it is only necessary to maintain the current working state of the quick-cooling air duct, and there is no need to quickly cool the drinks put in, and they can be stored normally.

[0075] Optionally, the correspondence between the average single drink consumption of the user and the types of drinks is set by the user or pre-stored in the database at the factory. In this way, allowing the user to independently set the correspondence between the average single drink consumption of the user and the types of drinks can better conform to the user's drinking habits, and controlling accordingly can more accurately control the working state of the quick-cooling air duct according to the user's needs. By setting the correspondence between the average single drink consumption of the user and the types of drinks through the data pre-stored in the database at the factory, where the data can obtain average data through a large number of questionnaires, it can be more applicable to most users and has higher adaptability.

[0076] For example, it is set that the single drink consumption of the user corresponding to beer is 1 to 5 bottles, and the average single drink consumption of the user corresponding to cola is 1 bottle. When the number of people indoors is obtained as 3 and the number of drinks to be stored is obtained as 10 bottles, and it is determined that the drinks to be stored are beer, at this time the number of drinks to be stored is less than the total amount of drinks consumed by the people indoors at one time, it is determined that the user has a need to ice and drink the drinks to be stored, then the quick-cooling air duct is controlled to open. When it is determined that the drinks to be stored are cola, at this time the number of drinks to be stored is greater than the total amount of drinks consumed by the people indoors at one time, it is determined that the user has no need to ice and drink the drinks to be stored, and at this time it is only necessary to control the quick-cooling air duct to maintain the current working state.

[0077] It can be understood that controlling the quick-cooling air duct to open means controlling the fan in the quick-cooling air duct to start and controlling some or all of the air outlets of the quick-cooling air duct to open. In this way, by starting the fan to drive the air flow and controlling the opening of the air outlet to blow the cold air flow towards the bottle holder, the air flow speed near the bottle holder is increased, forced convection heat transfer is carried out, and the drinks are quickly cooled.

[0078] Optionally, when the quick-cooling air duct is controlled to be opened, the number of opened air outlets of the quick-cooling air duct is controlled according to the number of beverages to be stored. In this way, the number of beverages to be stored is determined and accordingly the number of opened air outlets of the quick-cooling air duct is controlled, so that the quick-cooling position corresponds to the number of beverages to be stored, better controlling according to the number of beverages to be stored and avoiding energy waste.

[0079] Optionally, after controlling the number of opened air outlets of the quick-cooling air duct according to the number of beverages to be stored, it further includes:

[0080] According to the number of opened air outlets, the rotation speed of the blower is controlled. In this way, the rotation speed of the blower is matched with the number of opened air outlets, avoiding excessive rotation speed of the blower resulting in too high air pressure in the quick-cooling air duct and causing energy waste, and at the same time being able to maintain sufficient air flow at the air outlet and keep the quick-cooling efficiency.

[0081] Optionally, before controlling the air outlet to open, the storage state in the bottle holder is obtained, and the air outlet corresponding to the idle bottle holder is controlled to open. In this way, the storage condition in the bottle holder can be determined in advance. When quick cooling is required, the idle bottle holder is controlled to store the beverages that need quick cooling, and the bottle holder is used more reasonably.

[0082] Optionally, while controlling the air outlet corresponding to the idle bottle holder to open, an indication signal is controlled to be emitted by this part of the bottle holder. In this way, when the user stores beverages in the refrigerator, the bottle holder with the opened air outlet is determined through the indication signal, and then the beverages that need quick cooling are put into the bottle holder for quick cooling, better helping the user quickly find the bottle holder that can perform quick cooling and improving the convenience of user use.

[0083] It can be understood that the indication signal refers to a light emission prompt such as a light set on the bottle holder.

[0084] Combined with Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, after S02, controlling the working state of the quick-cooling air duct according to the number of people in the room and the number of beverages to be stored obtained by the detection component, it further includes:

[0085] S03, obtaining the operation instruction of the user through the interaction device;

[0086] S04, adjusting the working state of the quick-cooling air duct according to the operation instruction of the user.

[0087] In this way, the user can adjust the working state of the quick-cooling air duct through the operation instruction, making the quick-cooling effect of the refrigerator better meet the user's usage requirements and improving the flexibility of the quick-cooling process of the beverages.

[0088] Combined with Figure 7 As shown, in some alternative embodiments, a control method for a quick-cooling refrigerator further includes:

[0089] S05. Obtain the temperature of the drink inside the bottle holder corresponding to the opened air outlet;

[0090] S06. When it is determined that the temperature of the drink reaches the set temperature, control the corresponding air outlet to close. In this way, the temperature of the drink in the bottle holder is detected. When it is determined that the temperature of the drink reaches the set temperature, it indicates that the rapid cooling is over and the drink can be consumed. At this time, control the corresponding air outlet to close, end the rapid cooling process, realize automatic control, and improve the user's intelligent experience.

[0091] Optionally, while controlling the air outlet to close, adjust the rotation speed of the blower. In this way, after the air outlet is closed, the rotation speed of the blower is adjusted to make the rotation speed of the blower match the number of opened air outlets, improving the use efficiency of the blower.

[0092] Optionally, when it is determined that the temperature of the drink reaches the set temperature, issue a prompt indicating the end of rapid cooling. In this way, after the rapid cooling is over, the user can be reminded to drink in time after the rapid cooling ends, improving the user's experience.
