Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent refrigeration equipment technology, specifically to an intelligent refrigerator with intelligent identification and health guidance functions for cooking ingredients. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of smart home appliance technology, smart refrigerators with integrated cooking ingredient recognition functions are gradually becoming the mainstream in the market. However, the core recognition component of existing products—the camera module—still has many structural and functional defects. On the one hand, traditional pop-up cameras mostly use a gear and rack transmission structure, which is prone to jamming and misalignment after long-term use. In addition, they lack an effective sealing and protection structure, allowing moisture and dust generated by the opening and closing of the refrigerator door to easily enter the module, affecting the lifespan and recognition accuracy of the camera. On the other hand, the interaction components of existing devices are mostly single touch screens, lacking voice interaction capabilities, which makes operation inconvenient for elderly users and other groups.

[0003] Meanwhile, although existing smart refrigerators can achieve basic ingredient identification and health guidance, the insufficient stability of the camera pop-up structure leads to unclear image acquisition, which in turn affects the accuracy of the identification module and cannot provide reliable data support for the storage management and health guidance modules. Therefore, a smart refrigerator with intelligent identification and health guidance functions for cooking ingredients is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an intelligent refrigerator with intelligent identification and health guidance functions for cooking ingredients, so as to solve or alleviate the technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial option.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows: A smart refrigerator with intelligent identification and health guidance functions for cooking ingredients includes a refrigerator body and a pop-up camera module. The pop-up camera module is installed on the refrigerator body and includes a housing. The housing is embedded in the door of the refrigerator body. A motor is installed on the inner side wall of the housing. A lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. A Z-shaped plate is threadedly connected to the outer side wall of the lead screw. A guide rod is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the housing. One end of the guide rod passes through the Z-shaped plate. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the Z-shaped plate, and a camera is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate.

[0006] More preferably, a first baffle is fixedly connected to one side of the housing, and a through groove is formed on one side of the first baffle.

[0007] More preferably, a second baffle is fixedly connected to one side of the camera.

[0008] More preferably, a touch screen is installed on one side of the refrigerator body.

[0009] More preferably, a speaker and a microphone are installed on one side of the refrigerator body.

[0010] The embodiments of the present invention have the following advantages due to the adoption of the above technical solutions:

[0011] I. The present invention adopts a screw drive and guide rod structure to ensure that the camera pops up and retracts without jamming or deviation, and the shooting angle is accurate; the design of the first baffle and the second baffle achieves through-slot sealing after the camera is retracted, effectively preventing water vapor and dust from entering and extending the service life of the camera, while the anti-fog coating ensures the shooting clarity in low temperature environments.

[0012] Second, this invention integrates a touch screen, speaker and microphone, and supports dual interaction modes of touch and voice, which not only meets the touch operation habits of young and middle-aged users, but also adapts to the voice command needs of elderly users, thus reducing the operation threshold.

[0013] Third, this invention forms a complete service loop from raw material identification and storage guidance to healthy cooking suggestions and expiration warnings. Combined with accurate identification data, it enhances the professionalism of storage suggestions and health guidance, which can reduce food waste rate by more than 30% and help users develop healthy eating habits.

[0020] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0021] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides an intelligent refrigerator with intelligent identification and health guidance functions for cooking ingredients, including a refrigerator body 1 and a pop-up camera module 2. The pop-up camera module 2 is installed on the refrigerator body 1 and includes a housing 21. The housing 21 is embedded in the door of the refrigerator body 1. A motor 22 is installed on the inner side wall of the housing 21. A lead screw 23 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 22. A Z-shaped plate 26 is threadedly connected to the outer side wall of the lead screw 23. A guide rod 24 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the housing 21. One end of the guide rod 24 passes through the Z-shaped plate 26. A connecting plate 27 is fixedly connected to one side of the Z-shaped plate 26. A camera 28 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 27.

[0023] In one embodiment, a first baffle 25 is fixedly connected to one side of the housing 21, and a through groove 251 is provided on one side of the first baffle 25.

[0024] In one embodiment, a second baffle 29 is fixedly connected to one side of the camera 28.

[0025] In one embodiment, a touch screen 3 is installed on one side of the refrigerator body 1.

[0026] In one embodiment, a speaker 4 and a microphone 5 are installed on one side of the refrigerator body 1.

[0027] In operation: The user inputs "55 years old, female, diabetes, no seafood allergy" via microphone 5. The data on touchscreen 3 is processed by the control unit and stored in the storage unit. When the user holds broccoli and prepares to store it in the refrigerator, they lightly touch the "recognition trigger" button on touchscreen 3. Motor 22 drives lead screw 23 to rotate, Z-shaped plate 26 moves along guide rod 24, and camera 28 pops out through slot 251 to capture an image of the broccoli and transmit it to the recognition module. The recognition result is "broccoli, fresh quality, suitable for stir-frying / blanching, rich in dietary fiber". The storage management module records the storage start time and, based on the characteristics of broccoli, generates a suggestion to "store in the high humidity preservation area". The shelf life is 7 days. Since the current temperature in the high humidity zone inside the box is 3℃, there is no need to adjust the storage area. The health guidance module combines the user's diabetes history and matches the food combination "broccoli + chicken breast + oatmeal". The cooking method suggestion is "boiled broccoli, steamed chicken breast, less oil and less sugar", which is displayed on the touch screen 3. The reminder module calculates the warning time as the 5th day of storage. After the 5th day, the touch screen 3 pops up a warning pop-up window, and the speaker 4 plays the voice prompt "The broccoli will expire in 2 days. It is recommended to eat it as soon as possible". After the recognition is completed, the motor 22 rotates in reverse, driving the camera 28 to retract. The second baffle 29 seals the through groove 251, and the module enters the standby state.

[0028] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and these should all be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
