[0037] Figure 1-1 is a schematic structural diagram of a refrigerator provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with Figure 1-1 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a refrigerator, including: a cabinet opening and a plurality of adjustable feet 1. Among them, the cabinet opening is located on the upper side of the refrigerator body, and the plurality of adjustable feet 1 are respectively arranged at the four corners of the bottom of the refrigerator body. The adjustable feet 1 include a right front side foot, a right rear side foot, a left front side foot, and a left rear side foot (not shown).

[0038] Optionally, the refrigerator further includes a plurality of micro motors 2 for adjusting the height of the feet. The installation positions and quantities of the micro motors 2 match the plurality of adjustable feet. Among them, the micro motors 2 include a left rear side micro motor 21, a left front side micro motor 22, a right front side micro motor 23, or a right rear side micro motor 24. The micro motor 2 is connected to the bolt of the adjustable foot to adjust the height of the adjustable foot by controlling the micro motor to drive the bolt.

[0039] Optionally, the right front side foot, the right rear side foot, the left front side foot, and the left rear side foot (not shown) are respectively provided with touch switches, and each touch switch is configured to detect whether each adjustable foot is in contact with the ground.

[0040] Optionally, a ball switch is provided at the center of the bottom of the refrigerator. The ball switch is configured such that when the refrigerator body is tilted, the ball will move to the connection at the tilted direction to connect and activate the micro motor of the corresponding foot.

[0041] Specifically, Figure 1-2 is a schematic structural diagram of a ball switch provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with Figure 1-2 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a ball switch. Specifically, after the ball switch is activated, when the refrigerator body is tilted, the ball 4 will roll to the connection of the micro motor in the tilted direction to connect and activate the micro motor of the corresponding foot by approaching the power conductor 3 in that direction.

[0042] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a method for controlling a refrigerator provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with Figure 2As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling a refrigerator, including:

[0043] S21, in response to a refrigerator leveling instruction, the refrigerator obtains the conduction states of a plurality of touch switches.

[0044] S22, when the conduction states of the plurality of touch switches indicate that a plurality of adjustable feet are all attached to the ground, the refrigerator activates the ball switch.

[0045] S23, the refrigerator determines a target leveling strategy according to the movement information of the ball.

[0046] S24, the refrigerator controls the refrigerator to execute the target leveling strategy to level the refrigerator.

[0047] In this embodiment, the refrigerator leveling instruction can be sent to the refrigerator in various ways. In one example, after determining that the position of the refrigerator has moved, the refrigerator leveling instruction can be sent to the refrigerator. In another example, the refrigerator leveling instruction can also be sent to the refrigerator regularly after reaching a pre-stored time point. In this way, after the refrigerator receives the refrigerator leveling instruction, it can respond to the refrigerator leveling instruction and obtain the conduction states of a plurality of touch switches. Specifically, when the refrigerator obtains the conduction state of the touch switch, if the contact pressure between the touch switch and the ground is greater than the first pressure value, it is determined that the conduction state of the touch switch is on. Here, the first pressure value can be pre-stored in combination with the sensitivity of the contact switch. As an example, the first pressure value is 10N. With this solution, the accurate determination of the conduction state can be achieved.

[0048] Furthermore, when the conduction states of the plurality of touch switches indicate that a plurality of adjustable feet are all attached to the ground, the refrigerator activates the ball switch. Here, if the conduction states of the plurality of touch switches are all on, it means that a plurality of adjustable feet are all attached to the ground. With this solution, the activation timing of the ball switch is accurately determined.

[0049] Furthermore, after the ball switch is activated, the ball will roll in the tilting direction according to the tilting angle of the refrigerator cabinet. In this way, the refrigerator can determine the target leveling strategy according to the movement information of the ball. Specifically, when the refrigerator determines the target leveling strategy according to the movement information of the ball, it includes: the refrigerator determines the target feet to be adjusted according to the movement information of the ball; the refrigerator determines that the target leveling strategy is to control the refrigerator to adjust the target feet according to the target adjustment strategy. In this way, the accurate determination of the target leveling strategy can be achieved. Thus, the refrigerator is controlled to execute the target leveling strategy to level the refrigerator.

[0050] By using the method for controlling a freezer provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the conduction states of a plurality of touch switches are obtained in response to a freezer leveling instruction; thus, when the conduction states of the plurality of touch switches indicate that a plurality of adjustable feet are all attached to the ground, a ball switch is started; furthermore, according to the movement information of the ball, a target leveling strategy is determined; and the freezer is controlled to execute the target leveling strategy to level the freezer. With this solution, it is possible to start the ball switch when it is determined that all the feet of the freezer are attached to the ground, so as to accurately determine the target leveling strategy in combination with the movement information of the ball. Therefore, when the freezer is controlled to execute the target leveling strategy, the freezer can be accurately leveled, which is more intelligent than the existing manual leveling method, effectively avoiding the situation that affects the user experience caused by uneven feet of the freezer, and further improving the stability and refrigeration efficiency of the freezer.

[0051] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of a method for determining a target leveling strategy provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with Figure 3 As shown, optionally, in S23, the freezer determines a target leveling strategy according to the movement information of the ball, including:

[0052] In S31, the freezer determines a target foot to be adjusted according to the movement information of the ball.

[0053] In S32, the freezer determines that the target leveling strategy is to control the freezer to adjust the target foot according to the target adjustment strategy.

[0054] In this solution, the freezer determines a target foot to be adjusted according to the movement information of the ball, including: when the movement information of the ball includes the movement direction of the ball and the target movement position, the freezer screens out the adjustable feet that match the movement direction and / or the target movement position among the plurality of adjustable feet, and determines them as the target feet to be adjusted.

[0055] Furthermore, the freezer can determine that the target leveling strategy is to control the freezer to adjust the target foot according to the target adjustment strategy. Here, the target adjustment strategy can be determined according to the weight of the freezer. With this solution, it is possible to accurately determine the target foot to be adjusted in combination with the movement of the ball, so as to accurately determine the target leveling strategy.

[0056] Optionally, in S31, the freezer determines a target foot to be adjusted according to the movement information of the ball, including:

[0057] When the movement information of the ball includes the movement direction of the ball and the target movement position, the freezer screens out the adjustable feet that match the movement direction and / or the target movement position among the plurality of adjustable feet, and determines them as the target feet to be adjusted.

[0058] In this solution, the movement information of the ball includes the movement direction of the ball and the target movement position. Specifically, the target feet to be adjusted can be determined in various ways. In the first case, the refrigerator selects the adjustable feet that match the movement direction of the ball from multiple adjustable feet and determines them as the target feet to be adjusted. For example, if the movement direction of the ball is the direction where the left front feet are located, the target feet to be adjusted can be determined as the left front feet. In the second case, the refrigerator selects the adjustable feet that match the target movement position from multiple adjustable feet and determines them as the target feet to be adjusted. Here, the target movement position is the position where the ball ends its movement, and the adjustable feet that match the target movement position are the feet close to the target movement position. For example, if the target movement position is close to the right front feet, the target feet to be adjusted are determined as the right front feet. In an optimized solution, the refrigerator selects the adjustable feet that match the movement direction of the ball and the target movement position from multiple adjustable feet and determines them as the target feet to be adjusted. With this solution, the accurate determination of the target feet to be adjusted can be precisely achieved by combining multiple methods.

[0059] Optionally, the target adjustment strategy is determined by the following method:

[0060] The refrigerator obtains the weight of the refrigerator.

[0061] The refrigerator determines the target adjustment strategy based on the weight of the refrigerator.

[0062] In this solution, the weight of the refrigerator can be obtained by the following method: obtain the usage duration of the refrigerator; when the usage duration indicates that the refrigerator is not in use, the refrigerator determines the weight of the refrigerator according to its model information; when the usage duration indicates that the refrigerator has been used, the refrigerator determines the weight of the refrigerator according to the measurement value of the focused equipment associated with the refrigerator. In this way, it is possible to infer whether the refrigerator is in use based on the usage duration of the refrigerator, and when the refrigerator is not in use, determine the weight of the refrigerator by combining the factory weights of different models of refrigerators; when the refrigerator is in use, it is assumed that there are items stored in the refrigerator, and then the weight of the refrigerator can be determined according to the measurement value of the focused equipment associated with the refrigerator; in this way, it is convenient to accurately obtain the weight of the refrigerator.

[0063] Further, the target adjustment strategy can be determined in various ways. In one example, the refrigerator determines the operating power of the target micro-motor according to the weight of the refrigerator; the refrigerator takes controlling the target micro-motor to operate according to the operating power as the target adjustment strategy. In another example, the refrigerator determines the target rising rate of the target feet according to the weight of the refrigerator; the refrigerator determines the target adjustment strategy to adjust the target feet at the target rising rate. In an optimized solution, the refrigerator determines the operating power of the target micro-motor and the target rising rate of the target feet according to the weight of the refrigerator; taking controlling according to the operating power of the target micro-motor and the target rising rate of the target feet as the target adjustment strategy. With this solution, the target adjustment strategy can be accurately determined in combination with the weight of the refrigerator, providing an accurate data basis for the control of the refrigerator.

[0064] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of a method for determining a target adjustment strategy provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with Figure 4 As shown, optionally, S41. The refrigerator determines the target adjustment strategy according to the weight of the refrigerator, including:

[0065] S421. The refrigerator determines the operating power of the target micro-motor according to the weight of the refrigerator.

[0066] S422. The refrigerator takes controlling the target micro-motor to operate according to the operating power as the target adjustment strategy.

[0067] In this solution, the target micro-motor is connected to the target feet. Specifically, the refrigerator determines the operating power of the target micro-motor according to the weight of the refrigerator, including: when the weight of the refrigerator is lower than the first threshold, determining the operating power of the target micro-motor as the first power; when the weight of the refrigerator is higher than the first threshold and lower than the second threshold, determining the operating power of the target micro-motor as the second power; when the weight of the refrigerator is higher than the second threshold, determining the operating power of the target micro-motor as the third power. Among them, the first power < the second power < the third power. As an example, the first threshold is 30 kg, the second threshold is 50 kg, the first power is 15 W, the second power is 25 W, and the third power is 35 W. With this solution, the operating power of the target micro-motor can be accurately determined in combination with the weight of the refrigerator.

[0068] Further, the refrigerator can take controlling the target micro-motor to operate according to the operating power as the target adjustment strategy. With this solution, the accurate determination of the target adjustment strategy can be realized, providing a more accurate data basis for the leveling of the refrigerator, so as to meet the user's energy-saving control requirements for the refrigerator when controlling the refrigerator to operate according to the operating power.

[0069] Figure 4It is a schematic diagram of a method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure for determining a target adjustment strategy; in combination with Figure 4 As shown, optionally, in S41, the refrigerator determines a target adjustment strategy according to the weight of the refrigerator, including:

[0070] S431, the refrigerator determines the target rising rate of the target feet according to the weight of the refrigerator.

[0071] S432, the refrigerator determines that the target adjustment strategy is to adjust the target feet at the target rising rate.

[0072] In this solution, the refrigerator determines the target rising rate of the target feet according to the weight of the refrigerator, including: when the weight of the refrigerator is lower than the first threshold, determining the target rising rate of the target feet as the first rate; when the weight of the refrigerator is higher than the first threshold and lower than the second threshold, determining the target rising rate of the target feet as the second rate; when the weight of the refrigerator is higher than the second threshold, determining the target rising rate of the target feet as the third rate. Among them, the first rate > the second rate > the third rate. As an example, the first threshold is 30 kg, the second threshold is 50 kg, the first rate is 0.5 mm / s, the second rate is 0.33 mm / s, and the third rate is 0.25 mm / s. With this solution, it is possible to accurately determine the target rising rate of the target feet in combination with the weight of the refrigerator.

[0073] Furthermore, the refrigerator can determine that the target adjustment strategy is to adjust the target feet at the target rising rate. With this solution, it is possible to accurately determine the target adjustment strategy, providing a more accurate data basis for the leveling of the refrigerator, so as to meet the stability adjustment requirements during the leveling process of the refrigerator when controlling the target feet to rise at the target rising rate, and avoid the situation of the refrigerator being unstable caused by inaccurate rising rates of the adjustable feet.

[0074] Optionally, the target rising rate can be adjusted by adjusting the operating voltage of the micro motor.

[0075] Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of another method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure for controlling a refrigerator; in combination with Figure 5 As shown, after obtaining the conduction states of multiple touch switches, it further includes:

[0076] S51, when the conduction states of the multiple touch switches indicate that one or more adjustable feet are not in contact with the ground, the refrigerator determines the initial adjustment strategy of the refrigerator.

[0077] S52, the refrigerator controls the refrigerator to execute the initial adjustment strategy until the conduction states of the multiple touch switches indicate that all the adjustable feet are in contact with the ground.

[0078] In this solution, when one or more of the multiple tactile switches are in an unconducted state, it is determined that one or more adjustable feet are not attached to the ground. In this way, when the conduction states of the multiple tactile switches indicate that one or more adjustable feet are not attached to the ground, the refrigerator can determine the initial adjustment strategy of the refrigerator. Here, the refrigerator determining the initial adjustment strategy of the refrigerator includes: the refrigerator determining the first adjustable feet to be adjusted; the refrigerator determining that the initial adjustment strategy is to control the micro-motor corresponding to the first adjustable feet to adjust the first adjustable feet according to the target adjustment height. Here, the first adjustable feet can be one or more, and the target adjustment height is 1 mm. With this solution, the accurate determination of the initial adjustment strategy can be achieved.

[0079] Furthermore, the refrigerator can control it to execute the initial adjustment strategy until the conduction states of the multiple tactile switches indicate that the multiple adjustable feet are all attached to the ground. With this solution, it can be ensured that the multiple adjustable feet are all attached to the ground, thus providing a suitable test environment for the start of the rolling ball switch of the refrigerator.

[0080] Optionally, after controlling the refrigerator to execute the target leveling strategy, it further includes:

[0081] The refrigerator obtains the current position of the ball.

[0082] When the current position is at the center of the bottom of the refrigerator, the refrigerator stops leveling the refrigerator.

[0083] In this solution, after controlling the refrigerator to execute the target leveling strategy, the refrigerator can obtain the current position of the ball; and when the current position is at the center of the bottom of the refrigerator, the refrigerator stops leveling the refrigerator. With this solution, the end timing of the refrigerator leveling is accurately determined, providing an accurate data basis for the energy-saving control of the refrigerator.

[0084] Optionally, when the current position is not at the center of the bottom of the refrigerator, the micro-motor is controlled again to level the refrigerator until the position of the ball is at the center of the bottom of the refrigerator. With this solution, the leveling effect of the refrigerator can be accurately ensured.
