Problems solved by technology

This requires the user to operate near the refrigerator, and frequent opening and closing of the refrigerator door will adversely affect the storage of food, which brings great inconvenience to the user.
[0004] Based on the above problems, in the prior art, there are also various technical means using weight sensors to measure the weight of objects in the refrigerator, detecting the storage status of specific storage locations, and arranging cameras to obtain the usage of the refrigerator space. However, some of these solutions detect The results are inaccurate, and some can only detect special foods, which cannot accurately reflect the actual use of the refrigerator volume

Embodiment Construction

[0027] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a refrigerator shown in a method for detecting a used volume of a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention; the refrigerator may generally include: a box body and a detection assembly 100 .

[0028] In the refrigerator in this embodiment, the box body defines a storage compartment 400, and the box body includes a horizontally arranged top wall, a bottom wall, and vertically arranged side walls. Generally speaking, the vertically arranged side walls include three vertical side walls, which are respectively used as the left side wall, the right side wall and the rear wall. The walls are all arranged vertically, and the door body is arranged opposite to the rear wall.

[0029] The detection assembly 100 can be selectively arranged on one side of the top wall of the storage compartment or the side wall of the storage compartment.

[0030] For example the detection assembly can be arranged on the rear wall. If ...

Abstract

The invention provides a refrigerator use volume detection method and device. The method is applicable to refrigerators with storage room volume smaller than or equal to the preset volume threshold. The method comprises detecting visible light intensity and infrared intensity in a storage room through a single detection component arranged in the storage room; estimating the storage room use capacity according to the visible light intensity to obtain a use volume estimated value; calculating a use volume correction factor according to the infrared intensity; accumulating the estimated value and the correction factor to obtain the use volume calculation value. By the aid of the method, the refrigerator storage room used volume is detected through an optical principle, detection results are accurate, refrigerator doors are not needed to be opened, the user use experience is improved, and the food good storage environment is maintained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of refrigerator control, in particular to a method and device for detecting the use volume of a refrigerator. Background technique [0002] The intelligence of refrigerators is a direction of refrigerator development, and it is also the focus of research and development of many refrigerator manufacturers. With the improvement of living standards, people's requirements for refrigerators are not only limited to the basic food storage and preservation functions, but also have higher and higher requirements for intelligent operations that can facilitate people's lives and improve the quality of life. [0003] As a household appliance for storing food, users need to know the usage of the internal space of the refrigerator to determine the storage capacity of the food. In the prior art, people usually estimate the usable volume of the refrigerator by opening the refrigerator door to observe. This requires the user to opera...
