TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of refrigerator control, and in particular to a high-freshness food material preservation method, device, equipment and storage medium. BACKGROUND
[0002] The temperature and humidity control of the traditional refrigerator adopts fixed partition setting and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the types and quantities of food materials. Specifically, the refrigerators on the market usually have preset refrigeration, freezing and a few variable temperature zones, but the partition parameters are fixedly set by the factory and cannot be differentiated adjusted according to different food material characteristics. For sashimi high-freshness food materials (such as salmon, tuna, etc.), their preservation needs to be accurately controlled at-1℃-4℃ and the humidity needs to be maintained at 80%-95%, and at the same time, temperature fluctuations need to be avoided to exceed ±1℃. However, the existing fixed partition cannot meet the dynamic parameter requirements of such high-freshness food materials, resulting in that the best preservation effect cannot be achieved when multiple types of food materials are mixedly stored.
[0003] In addition, the refrigerators on the market currently lack a metamorphic gas real-time monitoring mechanism and cannot provide early warning intervention in the early spoilage stage of food materials. Sashimi food materials are rich in protein and moisture and are prone to produce trimethylamine and other spoilage gases in a refrigerated environment. The traditional refrigerator cannot detect the concentration of such gases in real time, which easily causes cross contamination and poses a serious threat to the safety of raw food.

Detailed Implementation
[0017] This invention provides a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for preserving high-freshness food. In this invention, the terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc. (if applicable) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments described herein can be implemented in a sequence other than that illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" or "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.
[0018] This invention discloses a method for preserving high-freshness food, applicable to existing high-end refrigerators used for storing high-preservation-requirement foods (such as sashimi). For example, the high-end refrigerator employs a vertical cabinet design with an embedded door, internally divided into three independent areas: a storage area, a door functional area, and a rear control area. Each area is separated by an insulation layer (polyurethane foam material) to prevent temperature and humidity interference. A trimethylamine sensor and a variable-frequency fan are respectively installed at the top of the storage area. The variable-frequency fan is located near the air duct interface of the storage area, with the air outlet angled downwards to avoid direct airflow onto the food. A variable-frequency cooling unit is also located in the center of the rear of the storage area. The rear control area includes a control device (MCU main control chip), and the trimethylamine sensor, variable-frequency fan, and variable-frequency cooling unit are electrically connected to the control device.
[0019] The storage area is divided into four independent storage zones based on physical location and functional requirements. Specifically, the storage zones are divided along the vertical and horizontal directions using removable heat-insulating partitions, and are respectively labeled as the upper left zone (Zone A), upper right zone (Zone B), lower left zone (Zone C), and lower right zone (Zone D). The four storage zones have uniform dimensions. Each storage zone is equipped with a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a humidifier, and a semiconductor dehumidifier, all electrically connected to the control device. The temperature sensor is embedded in the middle side wall of the zone, close to the food storage layer, to ensure the accuracy of the temperature readings. The humidity sensor is embedded in the other side wall of the zone to obtain the humidity level. The humidifier is embedded in the top corner of the zone, with its atomizing nozzle facing downwards and close to the zone's air duct interface, facilitating rapid circulation of moisture throughout the zone. The semiconductor dehumidifier is fitted into the center of the bottom of the zone, utilizing the sinking property of moisture to efficiently absorb moisture from the bottom of the zone. The door's functional area features a double-layered tempered glass design, with an LCD dimming glass layer between the two layers. This LCD dimming glass covers the entire panel area of the door and is connected to a dimming power module to achieve both transparent and frosted effects. When in transparent mode, users can view the food in any section. A touchscreen is embedded in the center of the outer tempered glass, with an RGB warning light in the upper right corner for alerting users regarding food storage conditions. A buzzer is also located at the top of the outer tempered glass for alarm purposes. The dimming power module, touchscreen, RGB warning light, and buzzer are all connected to the control device.
[0020] For ease of understanding, the specific process of the embodiments of the present invention is described below. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 One embodiment of the high-freshness food preservation method of the present invention includes: 101. Obtain stored ingredient information, wherein the stored ingredient information includes the types of ingredients stored in each storage partition and the quantity of ingredients corresponding to each ingredient type; In this embodiment, the user enters the type and quantity of food in each independent storage compartment through the touch screen on the refrigerator door or the refrigerator APP on their mobile phone. The touch screen display provides a drop-down list of food types (containing only high-freshness food already included in the parameter table), a numeric keypad for quantity, and a compartment selection button to avoid invalid input. By collecting the information on stored food, the storage status of food in each storage compartment can be clearly defined, providing basic data for subsequent precise adjustments.
[0021] 102. Obtain a pre-constructed storage parameter table, which contains various types of food ingredients and corresponding storage humidity ranges, storage temperature ranges, and spoilage warning thresholds. In this embodiment, a pre-established storage parameter table is invoked. This table contains storage humidity ranges, storage temperature ranges, and spoilage warning thresholds for various high-freshness ingredients (such as salmon and tuna), providing a basis for calculating target temperature and target humidity. Example of a storage parameter table:
[0022] 103. Based on the stored food information and storage parameter table, confirm the target temperature and target humidity for each storage partition; 104. Obtain the real-time zone temperature fed back by the temperature sensor and the real-time zone humidity fed back by the humidity sensor; In this embodiment, traditional refrigerators use factory-fixed refrigeration and freezing parameters, which cannot adapt to the dynamic needs of high-freshness ingredients. This step achieves differentiated adjustment of each independent storage zone by linking stored ingredient information, storage parameter table and target temperature and humidity, so as to meet the high-precision temperature and humidity requirements of ingredients such as sashimi.
[0023] 105. Adjust the operating status of the inverter cooling unit based on the real-time zone temperature and target temperature, and adjust the operating status of the humidity adjustment unit based on the real-time zone humidity and target humidity; In this embodiment, based on the deviation between the real-time temperature and humidity and the target temperature and humidity, the working state of the inverter cooling unit is adjusted to achieve temperature adjustment of the storage partition, and the working state of the humidity adjustment unit is adjusted to achieve humidity adjustment of the storage partition, so as to ensure that the real-time temperature and humidity environment of the storage partition is maintained within the target range.
[0024] This invention discloses a method for preserving high-freshness food. By acquiring the stored food information input by the user and combining it with a pre-built storage parameter table, the target temperature and humidity of each storage partition can be dynamically adjusted according to the characteristics of different foods. This achieves the best preservation effect in multi-category mixed storage scenarios, effectively overcoming the shortcomings of traditional refrigerators that cannot meet the differentiated needs of multiple food categories. Furthermore, based on the confirmed target temperature and humidity of each partition, the real-time temperature and humidity of each storage partition are controlled in real time through a variable frequency cooling unit and a humidity adjustment unit. This can meet the precise temperature and humidity range requirements of high-freshness foods such as sashimi, avoiding the poor preservation effect caused by the fixed partition settings of traditional refrigerators, reducing the risk of food deterioration due to temperature fluctuations, and thus extending the shelf life of food.
[0025] In this embodiment of the invention, determining the target temperature and target humidity for each storage partition based on stored food information and a storage parameter table includes: 201. When the types of food stored in the storage partitions are the same, retrieve the storage humidity range and storage temperature range corresponding to that type of food from the storage parameter table; 202. Take the median value of the storage humidity range as the target humidity of the storage partition, and take the median value of the storage temperature range as the target temperature of the storage partition. In this embodiment, if a storage partition stores only a single food ingredient, such as only salmon, the storage humidity range and storage temperature range of the food ingredient are directly retrieved from the parameter table, and the median value of each range is taken as the target temperature and target humidity. This can balance the upper and lower limits of the food ingredient's tolerance to temperature and humidity, avoiding approaching the critical value. Furthermore, by directly taking the median value, the target temperature and humidity are ensured to be generated quickly, reducing the adjustment delay of the execution unit.
[0026] 203. When the types of food stored in the storage partitions are inconsistent, retrieve the storage humidity range and storage temperature range corresponding to each type of food from the storage parameter table; 204. Based on the type of food, the quantity of food corresponding to the type of food, and the retrieved storage humidity range and storage temperature range, confirm the target temperature and target humidity of the storage partition; In this embodiment, if a storage partition contains multiple types of food, such as salmon and Arctic surf clams, the storage humidity and temperature ranges for each type of food must first be retrieved. Then, the target temperature and humidity are calculated based on the quantity of food. By clarifying the calculation criteria for the two storage scenarios, deviations in the calculated target temperature and humidity due to ambiguous scenario definitions are avoided, thereby solving the problem of difficulty in taking into account both in mixed storage scenarios. In this embodiment, if the ingredients stored by the user are not included in the storage parameter table, such as niche sashimi varieties, the system will prompt "Do you want to match similar ingredients?" when the user enters the information. For example, rainbow trout can be matched according to salmon parameters. The system also supports users to manually enter custom temperature and humidity ranges. The entered data can be updated to the storage parameter table synchronously, improving the versatility of the method.
[0027] In this embodiment of the invention, determining the target temperature and target humidity of the storage partition based on the food type, the quantity of food corresponding to the food type, and the retrieved storage humidity and temperature ranges includes: 301. Take the median value of the storage humidity range as the optimal humidity corresponding to the type of food, and take the median value of the storage temperature range as the optimal temperature corresponding to the type of food. 302. Based on the type of food, the quantity of food corresponding to the type of food, and the optimal humidity, calculate the equilibrium humidity value using the weighted average method, and then round the equilibrium humidity value to obtain the target humidity. 303. Based on the type of ingredients, the quantity of ingredients corresponding to the type of ingredients, and the optimal temperature, calculate the equilibrium temperature value using the weighted average method, and then round the equilibrium temperature value to obtain the target temperature. In this embodiment, the median of the storage humidity range for each food ingredient is taken as the optimal humidity for that ingredient, and the median of the storage temperature range is taken as the optimal temperature for that ingredient. Then, using the quantity of each food ingredient as a weight, a weighted average is calculated for the optimal humidity and optimal temperature, and the results are rounded to obtain the target humidity and target temperature. For example: If a storage partition contains 2 portions of salmon (optimal humidity 87.5%RH, optimal temperature 1℃) and 1 portion of Arctic surf clam (optimal humidity 82.5%RH, optimal temperature 2℃), then... Balanced humidity = (87.5% × 2 + 82.5% × 1) ÷ (2 + 1) ≈ 85.8%, which is rounded up to 86%RH; Equilibrium temperature = (1℃×2+2℃×1)÷(2+1)≈1.3℃, rounded down to 1℃; Traditional mixed storage regulation sets environmental parameters based on the quantity of ingredients or any single ingredient, which can easily lead to the spoilage of a few ingredients. This embodiment uses weighted averaging to make the target temperature and humidity closer to the needs of most ingredients. Furthermore, by rounding down, it ensures that the target temperature and humidity are integers, which facilitates precise control by the execution unit (such as a humidifier or inverter cooling unit).
[0028] In this embodiment of the invention, adjusting the operating state of the inverter cooling unit based on real-time zone temperature and target temperature includes: 401. When the real-time zone temperature is greater than the target temperature plus the preset temperature control accuracy, the frequency converter cooling unit is controlled to reduce its frequency. 402. When the target temperature - preset temperature control accuracy ≤ real-time zone temperature ≤ target temperature + preset temperature control accuracy, the variable frequency refrigeration unit is controlled to maintain its working state. 403. When the real-time zone temperature is less than the target temperature minus the preset temperature control accuracy, control the frequency converter cooling unit to increase its frequency. In this embodiment, for high-freshness ingredients, the temperature control accuracy is set to ±0.3℃. If the target temperature of a storage zone is 1℃, the variable frequency cooling unit maintains its current operating state when the real-time temperature is within the range of 0.7℃-1.3℃ to avoid frequent start-stop. If it exceeds this range, frequency adjustment is performed to prevent the temperature from being too low or too high. This temperature control accuracy can meet the temperature fluctuation requirements of sashimi (≤±0.5℃), keeping sashimi and other ingredients in the optimal temperature environment and extending the shelf life, while avoiding frequent start-stop of the variable frequency cooling unit due to excessively high accuracy, thus reducing mechanical wear. Furthermore, during frequency adjustment, a step-by-step adjustment is used instead of a one-time adjustment to avoid sudden temperature changes, i.e., to avoid instantaneous high-load operation and reduce energy consumption. Specifically, assuming the real-time temperature is 1.6℃ and exceeds 1.3℃, the variable frequency cooling unit first reduces the frequency by 10%, and if the real-time temperature still exceeds the standard after 30 seconds, it reduces the frequency by another 10% until the real-time temperature returns to the target temperature control range. The same applies to frequency adjustment, with each frequency increase being ≤15%.
[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, the humidity adjustment unit includes a humidifier and a semiconductor dehumidifier electrically connected to the control device, and each storage partition is further provided with a partition fan electrically connected to the control device; the working state of the humidity adjustment unit, which adjusts the humidity based on real-time partition humidity and target humidity, includes: 501. When the real-time zone humidity is greater than the target humidity plus the preset humidity control accuracy, control the semiconductor dehumidifier and the zone fan to start synchronously. 502. When the target humidity - preset humidity control accuracy ≤ real-time zone humidity ≤ target humidity + preset humidity control accuracy, the target humidity adjustment unit remains in operation. 503. When the real-time zone humidity is less than the target humidity minus the preset humidity control accuracy, the humidification power is determined based on the difference between the real-time zone humidity and the target humidity, and the humidifier is controlled to start working based on the determined humidification power. In this embodiment, the preset humidity control accuracy is set to ±1%RH, which is suitable for the high humidity requirements of sashimi and solves the problem of large humidity fluctuations in traditional refrigerators. This prevents sashimi from becoming dry and losing its texture, or from becoming moldy due to excessive humidity. When the real-time humidity is greater than the target humidity plus the preset humidity control accuracy, the semiconductor dehumidifier and the zone fans are activated simultaneously. The zone fans are located on the top side of each storage zone, with the air vents angled downwards at 45° to avoid direct airflow onto the food. During dehumidification, the zone fans operate at a low speed to accelerate the removal of moisture while ensuring even moisture removal and preventing excessively high humidity in certain areas. When the real-time humidity is less than the target humidity minus the preset humidity control accuracy, the humidification power is determined based on the difference between the real-time humidity and the target humidity, and the humidifier is started according to the determined humidification power. Specifically, when the humidity difference is less than -5%RH, the humidification power is 80%-100%; when the humidity difference is between -5%RH and -2%RH, the humidification power is 40%-80%; and when the humidity difference is between -2%RH and -1%RH, the humidification power is 20%-40%. By determining the humidification power based on the humidity difference, over-humidification is avoided, while ensuring rapid humidification when humidity is low.
[0030] In this embodiment, the refrigerator door includes a door sensor. When the door sensor detects that the door is open, it immediately pauses the humidifier or dehumidifier that is in operation to prevent moisture loss or the entry of external moisture. When the door sensor detects that the door is closed, it restarts the humidifier adjustment within 10 seconds. Since humidity has a more sensitive effect on the freshness of food than temperature, it prioritizes humidification.
[0031] In this embodiment of the invention, a trimethylamine sensor is provided in the storage area. After acquiring the real-time partition temperature fed back by the temperature sensor, the method further includes: 601. Obtain the real-time gas concentration and preset severe warning threshold fed back by the trimethylamine sensor; 602. When the types of ingredients stored in each storage partition are the same, retrieve the spoilage warning threshold corresponding to that type of ingredient from the storage parameter table as the actual warning threshold. 603. When the types of ingredients stored in each storage partition are inconsistent, retrieve the spoilage warning threshold corresponding to each type of ingredient from the storage parameter table, and take the minimum value among the spoilage warning thresholds as the actual warning threshold. 604. Based on the comparison results between real-time gas concentration and actual warning threshold and severe warning threshold, trigger a graded warning; In this embodiment, the real-time gas concentration fed back by the trimethylamine sensor and the preset severe warning threshold are obtained, which is set to 8.0 ppm. For a single food item zone, the spoilage warning threshold of that food item is retrieved as the actual warning threshold. For multiple food item zones, the spoilage warning thresholds of all food items are retrieved, and the minimum value is taken as the actual warning threshold. Based on the comparison results of the real-time concentration with the actual warning threshold and the severe warning threshold, a first-level warning and a second-level warning are triggered. Specifically, when the actual warning threshold < real-time gas concentration ≤ 8.0 ppm, a first-level warning is triggered. At this time, the buzzer on the top of the refrigerator sounds three short beeps (cycled at 10-second intervals), the corresponding zone on the touch screen displays the red text "Food may be spoiled, check recommended," and the refrigerator APP pushes a warning message (including the real-time gas concentration). When the real-time gas concentration > 8.0 ppm, a second-level warning is triggered. At this time, the buzzer sounds for 10 seconds (cycled at 5-second intervals), the corresponding zone on the touch screen flashes a red icon and the text "Food is severely spoiled, do not eat," and the refrigerator APP pushes an emergency warning (with a curve showing the change in real-time gas concentration).
[0032] Compared to traditional refrigerators that require users to periodically open the door to check the appearance and smell of food to determine if it has spoiled, which can easily lead to cross-contamination, this invention uses trimethylamine detection to provide early warnings and reduce the risk of spoilage. Multiple food zones are used to apply the lowest warning threshold, ensuring priority protection for perishable foods and preventing low-threshold foods from spoiling prematurely due to adjustments based on high-threshold foods. Furthermore, the tiered warning mechanism and the setting of severe warning thresholds clearly define the boundaries between inspectable and inedible foods, preventing users from accidentally consuming spoiled sashimi due to a lack of professional knowledge, thus reducing food safety risks.
[0033] In this embodiment of the invention, after triggering the graded early warning, the method further includes: 701. Calculate the control temperature based on the target temperature, wherein the control temperature is lower than the target temperature, and adjust the working state of the inverter cooling unit based on the control temperature; In this embodiment, the original target temperature is reduced by 0.5-1℃ to obtain the control temperature, and the control temperature is not lower than -2℃. For example, if the original target temperature is 1℃, the control temperature is 0.5℃ or 0℃. When the graded warning is triggered, the working state of the variable frequency cooling unit is adjusted according to the control temperature to reduce the temperature of the storage area, which can inhibit the bacterial reproduction rate and delay the formation of trimethylamine.
[0034] 702. Control the variable frequency fan to increase the speed by one level. If the variable frequency fan is increased to the high speed, control the high speed duration to be less than 5 minutes. In this embodiment, when a graded warning is triggered, the inverter fan speed is increased. The speed increase rule is as follows: if the original speed is low, it is increased to medium; if the original speed is medium, it is increased to high. The duration of high speed is ≤5 minutes to avoid direct airflow causing food moisture loss >3%. After 5 minutes, it is reduced from high speed to medium speed. In addition, in addition to the zone fans, the refrigerator's main fan is turned on simultaneously. The main fan is turned on at medium speed for 10 minutes to promote air circulation in each storage zone and reduce local trimethylamine concentration.
[0035] In this embodiment, by linking cooling and ventilation, the rate of food spoilage can be reduced, allowing users more time to process the food and reducing food waste.
[0036] 703. Delay control of the LCD dimming glass to switch the LCD dimming glass from frosted state to transparent state. When the preset maximum power-on time is reached, control the LCD dimming glass to turn off the power. In this embodiment, after the tiered warning is triggered, the LCD dimming glass is powered on after a 30-second delay, giving the user a buffer time to reach the refrigerator from other areas and avoiding premature power-on to save energy. The transparent state of the LCD dimming glass lasts for 30 seconds. If the user does not operate it, it will automatically power off and switch to the frosted state. If the user clicks to extend the viewing time, it can be extended by an additional 30 seconds to avoid the LCD dimming glass consuming energy for a long time. By setting the LCD dimming glass, users can easily check the spoilage of food to further determine whether the food needs to be processed.
