[0009] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, but it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments, and all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without any creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0010] First embodiment of the method As shown in FIG. 1, this is a flowchart of a first embodiment of an article detection method for a vehicle refrigerator of the present invention, which includes: Step S1: acquiring data K0 on the weight of items in a refrigerator drawer; Step S2: performing a comparison analysis with preset comparison factors based on the acquired item weight data K0; and step S3 of determining whether to activate an alarm or alert the user based on the comparison and analysis result.

[0011] For example, in step S1 of this embodiment, the method for acquiring the item weight data K0 in the refrigerator drawer is as follows: The method includes installing four half-bridge resistive sensors at the four corners of the bottom of a refrigerator drawer and connecting them in parallel to form a full-bridge circuit, attaching a support plate on which an item is placed to the four sensors, the gravity of the item acting on the support plate and being transmitted to a deformation part of the sensor by the support plate, causing a change in the resistance value, and converting the resistance value into a gravity value by an AD circuit to obtain weight data K0.

[0012] In another embodiment, the vehicle-mounted refrigerator may be provided with a beverage area and a fruit area, and the number of items in the beverage area and the fruit area may be acquired, respectively; The method for acquiring the status of the number of items in the beverage area and the fruit area respectively includes installing a photographing device and identifying the number of items in the beverage area and the fruit area in the refrigerator based on the photographed image.

[0013] In step S2, the comparison element may include multiple elements such as, for example, a weight value, a quantity value, and a time value.

[0014] Second embodiment of the method As shown in FIG. 2, this is a flowchart of a second embodiment of the object detection method for a vehicle refrigerator of the present invention, which includes steps S4, S1, S2 and S3, In step S4, the shortest detection time T0 and the no-change detection time T1 are set. In step S1, data K0 on the weight of items in a refrigerator drawer is acquired. In this embodiment, in step S1, the item weight data K0 exceeding the shortest detection time T0 is acquired, For example, the shortest detection time T0 is set to 2 seconds, and it is effective to acquire item data in step S1 when the item weight data K0 exceeds 2 seconds. This is mainly to prevent errors caused by the vehicle shaking while the vehicle is moving, which causes the items in the refrigerator to bounce back in a short period of time and cause changes in weight.

[0015] In step S2, a comparison analysis is performed using preset comparison factors based on the acquired item weight data K0. This step is the same in principle as the corresponding step in the first embodiment of the method, so the description thereof will be omitted.

[0016] In step S3, based on the result of the comparison and analysis, it is determined whether to activate an alarm or to alert the user.

[0017] This step is the same in principle as the corresponding step in the first embodiment of the method, so the description thereof will be omitted.

[0018] In this embodiment, if the change value of the item weight data K0 exceeds the no-change detection time T1 and the change value is smaller than the preset change threshold, an alarm is activated or the user is notified that the item has not been removed for a long time. For example, the no-change detection time T1 can be set to 10 days or 15 days, and the preset change threshold can be set to 200g or 500g. Therefore, if the item weight data K0 exceeds 10 days and its weight change value is within the 200g range, it means that most of the items in the refrigerator have not yet been removed, are at risk of expiring, and need to be put away immediately.

[0019] Third embodiment of the method As shown in FIG. 3, this is a flowchart of a third embodiment of the object detection method for a vehicle refrigerator of the present invention, which includes steps S5, S4, S1, S2 and S3, In step S5, a first preset weight threshold K1 and a second preset weight threshold K2 are set, In step S4, the shortest detection time T0 and the no-change detection time T1 are set. This step is the same in principle as the corresponding step in the second embodiment of the method, so the description thereof will be omitted.

[0020] In step S1, data K0 on the weight of items in a refrigerator drawer is acquired. This step is the same in principle as the corresponding step in the second embodiment of the method, so the description thereof will be omitted.

[0021] In step S2, a comparison analysis is performed using preset comparison factors based on the acquired item weight data K0. In this embodiment, in step S2, If the item weight data K0 is smaller than the first preset weight threshold K1, activate an alarm or alert the user to indicate that the item is missing; If the item weight data K0 is greater than the second preset weight threshold K2, an alarm is activated or a user is notified that the item is full.

[0022] In step S3, based on the result of the comparison and analysis, it is determined whether to activate an alarm or to alert the user.

[0023] In this embodiment, for example, the first preset weight threshold K1 is set to 300g. Generally, one small bottle of cola or other beverage weighs about 350ml, or one apple weighs 100g, etc. Therefore, if the detected item weight data K0 is less than 300g, it means that there is not even one bottle of water in the vehicle refrigerator. At this time, an alarm will be activated to alert the user and indicate that there is a shortage of items. For example, the maximum capacity of the vehicle refrigerator is set to the second preset weight threshold K2, which can generally hold 6 to 10 bottles of beverage or 3 to 5 jin (1 jin = 500g) of fruit such as apples. If K2 is set to 3000g, when the detected item weight data K0 exceeds 3000g, an alarm will be activated or the user will be notified that the refrigerator is full and there is no need to purchase new items.

[0024] Fourth embodiment of the method As shown in FIG. 4, this is a flowchart of a fourth embodiment of the object detection method for a vehicle-mounted refrigerator of the present invention, and the method includes steps S5, S4, S1, S6, S7, S8, S2 and S3, In step S5, a first preset weight threshold K1 and a second preset weight threshold K2 are set, This step is the same in principle as the corresponding step in the third embodiment of the method, so the description thereof will be omitted.

[0025] In step S4, the shortest detection time T0 and the no-change detection time T1 are set. This step is the same in principle as the corresponding step in the second embodiment of the method, so the description thereof will be omitted.

[0026] In step S1, data K0 on the weight of items in a refrigerator drawer is acquired. This step is the same in principle as the corresponding step in the first embodiment of the method, so the description thereof will be omitted.

[0027] In step S6, the change value of the most recent N times of the item weight data K0 is obtained, In step S7, based on the change parameters at the time of the most recent N changes in the item weight data K0, the user's habit factors including the time period during which K0 changed or the number of changes in K0 are analyzed and acquired; For example, in this embodiment, the change values ​​of the most recent 20 changes in the item weight data K0 are acquired, and big data analysis is performed. For example, if 10 of the most recent 20 changes were between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM or between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM, this indicates that the user of the vehicle often takes out items from the refrigerator between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM or between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM. For example, if the weight change of an item is a decrease of 700g in 10 of the last 20 trips, this indicates that the user of the vehicle often takes out two bottles of water each time, and that there may always be two people in the vehicle.

[0028] In step S8, the cooling system of the vehicle refrigerator is automatically started in advance based on the habit factor, or the user is prompted to check whether the number of items is sufficient based on the habit factor.

[0029] In this step, operations are performed based on the analysis results of step S7, for example, the cooling system of the vehicle refrigerator is automatically started 30 minutes before 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM, or if the weight of the items in the vehicle refrigerator is less than 700 g or less than 1,400 g (less than four bottles of water, which can only be used once by two people), a warning is given to the user or an alarm is activated.

[0030] In step S2, a comparison analysis is performed using preset comparison factors based on the acquired item weight data K0.

[0031] This step is the same in principle as the corresponding step in the first embodiment of the method, so the description thereof will be omitted.

[0032] In step S3, based on the result of the comparison and analysis, it is determined whether to activate an alarm or to alert the user.

[0033] This step is the same in principle as the corresponding step in the first embodiment of the method, so the description thereof will be omitted.

[0034] In this embodiment, steps S7 and S8 are executed simultaneously with steps S1 and S2.

[0035] Fifth embodiment of the method As shown in FIG. 5, this is a flowchart of a fourth embodiment of the object detection method for a vehicle refrigerator of the present invention, and the method includes steps S91, S1, S92, S93, S2 and S3, In step S91, the vehicle-mounted refrigerator wirelessly connects to the external mobile terminal, In step S1, data K0 on the weight of items in a refrigerator drawer is acquired. In step S92, the external mobile terminal acquires item weight data K0 of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator, In step S93, the external mobile terminal prompts the user as to whether an item needs to be added based on the item weight data K0, or sends a command to the vehicle-mounted refrigerator; In step S2, a comparison analysis is performed using preset comparison factors based on the acquired item weight data K0. This step is the same in principle as the corresponding step in the first embodiment of the method, so the description thereof will be omitted.

[0036] In step S3, based on the result of the comparison and analysis, it is determined whether to activate an alarm or to alert the user.

[0037] This step is the same in principle as the corresponding step in the first embodiment of the method, so the description thereof will be omitted.

[0038] In this embodiment, step S93 and step S2 can be executed simultaneously.
