Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of refrigerators, and in particular to refrigerator dehumidification methods, apparatus, refrigerators, electronic devices, and storage media. Background Technology

[0002] As an indispensable appliance in modern homes, refrigerators are primarily used to store and keep food fresh. High humidity inside the refrigerator can cause food to spoil faster and may affect the refrigerator's energy consumption. Currently, to avoid excessive humidity inside the refrigerator, desiccants or dehumidifier pumps are often placed inside to dehumidify the interior.

[0003] Different types of food require different storage humidity levels inside a refrigerator, and the optimal humidity varies depending on the refrigerator's set temperature for optimal storage. Therefore, current methods of dehumidification inside refrigerators, such as using desiccants or dehumidifier pumps, cannot provide the necessary humidity levels for different food types. Consequently, current dehumidification methods in refrigerators are relatively ineffective.

[0004] There is currently no effective solution to the problem of poor dehumidification inside refrigerators in related technologies. Summary of the Invention

After the dehumidification damper has been closed for a preset third time threshold, the cooling damper is closed.

[0012] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0020] Thirdly, this embodiment provides a refrigerator, including a controller; the refrigerator compartments are pre-divided into several storage areas; each storage area is correspondingly equipped with a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, an electric heating module, a cooling damper, and a dehumidifying damper; wherein:

[0023] Fifthly, this embodiment provides a storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the refrigerator dehumidification method described in the first aspect above.

[0024] Compared with related technologies, this embodiment provides a refrigerator dehumidification method, apparatus, refrigerator, electronic device, and storage medium. The refrigerator dehumidification method, when detecting that the humidity of a target storage area is higher than a corresponding target humidity threshold, electrically heats the target storage area based on an electric heating module.

[0035] The method embodiments provided in this example can be executed on a terminal, computer, or similar computing device. For example, it can run on a terminal.

[0038] This embodiment provides a refrigerator dehumidification method. Figure 2 This is a flowchart of the refrigerator dehumidification method in this embodiment, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0039] Step S210: When the humidity of the target storage area is detected to be higher than the corresponding target humidity threshold, the target storage area is electrically heated based on the electric heating module of the target storage area.

[0040] First, the refrigerator compartments can be divided into several storage areas based on the different types of food stored inside. For example, fruits and vegetables require relatively higher humidity and temperature, meat requires relatively lower humidity and temperature, and cakes and cookies require a specific humidity environment. Therefore, the refrigerator compartment can be divided into three main areas: a general storage area, a fresh meat storage area, and a pastry storage area. The refrigerator compartments can also be divided into more or fewer storage areas depending on the actual application scenario; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this. Different storage areas can be equipped with separate humidity and temperature sensors to achieve real-time independent monitoring of humidity and temperature in different storage areas.

[0041] In addition, to further improve dehumidification efficiency and effect, this embodiment also provides a separate electric heating module for each storage area. When the humidity in a storage area exceeds a preset humidity threshold, the dehumidification function for that storage area is activated. First, the electric heating module of that storage area is turned on for electric heating.

[0042] Step S220: After the electric heating time of the target storage area reaches the preset first time threshold, the target storage area is dehumidified based on the cooling damper and dehumidifying damper corresponding to the target storage area until the adjusted humidity of the target storage area is within the lower limit of the target humidity threshold; wherein, the refrigerator compartment is pre-divided into multiple storage areas, and the target storage area is any one of the multiple storage areas.

[0043] Each storage area can also be equipped with its own exhaust duct and dehumidification duct. After the target storage area is electrically heated for a certain period of time, for example, three minutes, the dehumidification damper and cooling damper corresponding to that target storage area are opened. Through the dehumidification damper, the moisture in the air in the target storage area is heated and evaporated, and then drawn into the evaporator. The cooling capacity of the evaporator causes the water vapor in the humid air to undergo a phase change and condense. The dry, cold air is then transported back into the room through the cooling damper and exhaust duct. To prevent frost and ice formation on the evaporator, after dehumidification, when the humidity in the target storage area drops to the lower limit of the target humidity threshold, the dehumidification damper can be closed, and the electric heating module can continue to operate. The electric heating stops after two minutes, and the cooling damper closes after three minutes.

[0044] In related technologies, dehumidification inside the refrigerator is often achieved by placing desiccants or dehumidifier pumps. However, different types of food require different storage humidity levels, and the optimal humidity varies depending on the refrigerator's set temperature for optimal storage. Therefore, current dehumidification methods using desiccants or dehumidifier pumps cannot provide the necessary humidity levels for different food types. Consequently, current dehumidification methods in refrigerators are relatively ineffective.

[0045] In this embodiment, through steps S210 to S220, when the humidity of the target storage area is detected to be higher than the corresponding target humidity threshold, the target storage area is electrically heated based on the electric heating module of the target storage area. After the heating time reaches a preset first time threshold, the target storage area is dehumidified based on the cooling damper and dehumidifying damper corresponding to the target storage area until the adjusted humidity of the target storage area is within the lower limit of the target humidity threshold. The refrigerator compartments are pre-divided into multiple storage areas, and the target storage area is any one of these areas. Compared to related technologies, this embodiment can maintain the humidity of the target storage area at the set target humidity threshold using a combination of hardware and software, based on electric heating, cooling dampers, and dehumidifying dampers, thereby improving the dehumidification effect.

[0046] In one embodiment, based on step S220 above, after the duration of electric heating of the target storage area reaches a preset first duration threshold, the target storage area is dehumidified based on the cooling damper and dehumidifying damper corresponding to the target storage area until the adjusted humidity of the target storage area is within the lower limit range of the target humidity threshold. Specifically, this may include:

[0047] After the target storage area has been electrically heated for a preset first time threshold, the cooling damper and dehumidifying damper corresponding to the target storage area are opened simultaneously. The dehumidifying damper draws the hot and humid air from the target storage area into the evaporator, and then the cooling damper delivers dry air to the target storage area to form a drying cycle of hot and humid air. When the humidity of the target storage area is detected to be within the lower limit of the target humidity threshold, the dehumidifying damper is closed. After the dehumidifying damper has been closed for a preset second time threshold, the electric heating ends. After the dehumidifying damper has been closed for a preset third time threshold, the cooling damper is closed.

[0048] The following explanation uses the fresh meat storage area as the target storage area and a preset first heating duration threshold of 3 minutes as an example. Assume the target temperature threshold for the fresh meat storage area is 1 degree Celsius, and the corresponding target humidity threshold is 85%. When the humidity in the fresh meat storage area reaches 90%, the electric heating module installed in the area will heat the area. After 3 minutes of electric heating, the cooling and dehumidifying dampers in the fresh meat storage area will be opened simultaneously. The dehumidifying damper draws the humid, hot air from the fresh meat storage area into the refrigerated evaporator, and then the dried air is returned to the fresh meat storage area via the cooling damper, achieving a drying cycle. During this drying cycle, when the humidity sensor in the fresh meat storage area detects that the humidity has dropped below 85%, for example, to 80%, the dehumidifying damper will be closed. Two minutes after the dehumidifying damper closes, the electric heating module will be turned off, and three minutes after the dehumidifying damper closes, the cooling damper will be closed.

[0049] In another embodiment, the above-described refrigerator dehumidification method may further include:

[0050] When the temperature of the target storage area is detected to be higher than the preset target temperature threshold, the target storage area is cooled based on the cooling damper of the target storage area until the cooled temperature of the target storage area is within the lower limit of the target temperature threshold.

[0051] Each storage area can be equipped with its own temperature sensor. The temperature of each storage area is monitored in real time using this individual sensor. Specifically, when the temperature of a target storage area is detected by the temperature sensor to be higher than a preset target temperature threshold, the temperature of that target storage area is adjusted using a cooling damper until the temperature falls within the lower limit of the target temperature threshold. In particular, in some embodiments, different storage areas can be isolated to achieve precise temperature and humidity control for individual storage areas.

[0052] In this embodiment, the temperature and humidity of each storage area in the refrigerator room can be detected in real time based on temperature and humidity sensors, and the temperature and humidity of each storage area can be maintained within the preset lower limit range of the temperature threshold and humidity threshold set for that storage area, thereby maintaining the stability of the temperature and humidity of each storage area.

[0053] In one embodiment, different target temperature thresholds correspond to different target humidity thresholds. Specifically, the appropriate humidity threshold can be determined based on the pre-set temperature threshold of the storage area. The specific determination process can be set by those skilled in the art based on the storage effect of food under different temperature and humidity correspondences in measured data, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations. For temperature-adjustable storage areas, corresponding humidity settings can be set for different temperature settings within the adjustable temperature range. This embodiment can ensure humidity adaptability under different compartment temperatures, while ensuring the refrigerator compartments are suitable for storage. The humidity can be adjusted appropriately when preparing certain types of food.

[0054] In one embodiment, each storage area is equipped with a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor. Each storage area has its own temperature and humidity sensor. When the temperature or humidity in the corresponding storage area exceeds a temperature threshold or humidity threshold, the corresponding cooling or dehumidifying damper will open to adjust the temperature or humidity, ensuring that the temperature and humidity of the corresponding storage area fluctuate around the temperature and humidity thresholds, thus maintaining the stability of the overall room temperature and humidity. For example, the temperature and humidity of the designated general storage areas are adjustable. Users can adjust the temperature of the general storage area, and the humidity in that area will automatically adjust to the optimal humidity level at the adjusted temperature.

[0055] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of one embodiment of a refrigerator dehumidification method, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the refrigerator dehumidification method includes the following steps:

[0056] Step S301: The temperature of the fresh meat storage area is detected by temperature sensor T1, which defines the fresh meat storage area within the refrigerator compartment. The temperature threshold for this fresh meat storage area is 1 degree Celsius, and the humidity threshold is 85%.

[0060] Step S305: When R1 detects that the humidity in the fresh meat storage area reaches 90%, dehumidification is performed based on the refrigeration damper L1 and the dehumidification damper C1.

When R2 detects that the humidity in the general storage area reaches 60%, dehumidification is performed based on the cooling damper L2 and the dehumidifying damper C2. Specifically, L2 and C2 open simultaneously. C2 draws humid air from the general storage area into the refrigeration evaporator, and L2 delivers the dried air back to the general storage area, achieving a drying cycle of humid air.

[0072] Step S410: When R2 detects that the humidity in the general storage area has dropped to 50%, it shuts off C2, and L2 shuts off one minute later.

[0073] Step S411: When the set temperature threshold is 6 degrees Celsius, T2 detects that the temperature of the general storage area has reached 7 degrees Celsius and opens the cooling damper L2.

[0074] Step S412: When T2 detects that the temperature of the general storage area has dropped to 5 degrees Celsius, the cooling damper L2 is closed.

[0075] In step S413, when the set temperature threshold is 6 degrees Celsius, the corresponding humidity threshold is 65%. When R2 detects that the humidity in the general storage area reaches 70%, dehumidification is performed based on the cooling damper L2 and the dehumidifying damper C2. Specifically, L2 and C2 open simultaneously.

[0076] Step S414: When R2 detects that the humidity in the general storage area has dropped to 60%, it shuts off C2, and L2 shuts off one minute later.

[0077] Step S415: When the set temperature threshold is 7 degrees Celsius, T2 detects that the temperature of the general storage area has reached 8 degrees Celsius and opens the cooling damper L2.

[0078] Step S416: When T2 detects that the temperature of the general storage area has dropped to 6 degrees Celsius, the cooling damper L2 is closed.
