The specific embodiment
The invention will be further described below in conjunction with drawings and Examples.
Referring to Fig. 1, intelligent refrigerator of the present invention utilizes the intelligent terminal of the power of the embedded Chinese operating platform of PDA(Personal Digital Assistant) as refrigerator on the basis of traditional computer refrigerator, forms refrigerator control system with refrigerator master board (MCU).MCU finishes the data acquisition of refrigerator physical parameter such as temperature etc. as slave computer; Be transferred to that host computer (PDA) shows and data are handled.PDA sets and sends control command as host computer to the parameter of refrigerator; Be transferred to slave computer (MCU) with certain format by communication interface equally, finish control the refrigerator load by the slave computer output control signal of telecommunication.
Fig. 2 illustrates a kind of outside connected mode of PDC.PDA 1 reaches real-time fault and reports for repairment and relevant technical support by supervisory control comuter 4 communications of outer computer 3 and internet and refrigerator producer.For with outer computer PC communication, comprise communication data transceiver module and communication port on the PDA control panel, communication port can be connected and realize data communication between PC and PDA by cable with outer computer PC, PDA sends to PC with the detected refrigerator service data of MCU, PC is by the supervisory control comuter networking of Internet net and producer on the modem, send data to supervisory control comuter, to maintenance department of company feedback refrigerator ruuning situation or carry out fault and report for repairment; PDA also can send to PC and require order that supervisory control comuter passes a parameter and the data of accepting supervisory control comuter, shows in display unit.Also can download screen protection information from the Internet, PC is stored in screen protection information among the PDA by certain format; Also can download and upgrade knowledge and the information relevant such as menu with food.Adopt serial asynchronous communication RS-232 mode, communication port RS-232 serial port between PDA and the refrigerator MCU, between PDA and the PC.Can also adopt usb communication mode and USB serial port; Accelerate transfer rate if desired, also can adopt parallel port communication.
Fig. 3 illustrates the control flow of PDA.When energising, PDA at first carries out initialization, carry out the setting of main program after the initialization, read and be presented at the data that preset in the PDA memory, PDA sent querying command every 3 seconds to MCU, so that MCU is detected in real time, querying command comprises equipment inspection order or each chamber design temperature of inquiry refrigerator.MCU replied the parameter that requires inquiry in 1 second, PDA transmits the parameter of returning to MCU and carries out verification, if check results normally then shows this parameter.If PDA is not receiving the data of MCU in the 1S sending behind the querying command to MCU, or receive and answer but data check is unusual, then retransmit this order, send continuously 5 times, then be judged as communication failure, show also and report to the police if do not receive the data that slave is answered yet every 1S.When PDA receive the user to the setting of refrigerator state change back 1S within to the design temperature of each chamber of MCU transmission refrigerator, the on off state of each chamber, the operational mode of refrigerator; PDA sends after the operational mode of on off state, refrigerator of above-mentioned design temperature, each chamber within the 3S, and PDA should inquire about the design temperature of each chamber of refrigerator, the on off state of each chamber, the operational mode of refrigerator to MCU.
Fig. 4 is the control flow of MCU, and master board CPU carried out initialization after refrigerator powered on, from E 2Reading data in the PROM memory controls refrigerator.Under normal condition, receive querying command and the verification of PDA.If after receiving the data of sending from main frame PDA, data exception then sends request instruction requirement PDA and retransmits order, data normally then master board CPU the order of setting is handled, change will be set write E 2PROM, the work of corresponding control load circuit.Parameters such as collection the temperature inside the box send to main frame PDA.
Further specify the present invention in conjunction with Fig. 5 and Fig. 6.In the refrigerator master board, mainly contain the CPU processing unit, the power module that comprises power circuit, memory cell (not shown among Fig. 5) in order to stored data, link to each other as the I/O part of signal conversion with the CPU processing unit, the main detecting unit of forming by temperature sensor, detecting unit detects and comprises temperature of refrigerating chamber, freezer temperature, data such as evaporator temperature, and partly import the CPU processing unit by I/O, control comprises compressor, the control module of heater even load circuit operation, importantly, personal digital assistant PDA is connected with refrigerator master board MCU communication.Mainly contain CPU processing unit and power module, clock module, voice module, omnipotent remote control module functional modules such as (not shown among Fig. 5) on the PDA control panel, crucial is also to comprise the communication module with refrigerator master board MCU communication.MCU and PDA use the RS-232 communication module, on both control panels communication port are installed, and connect with cable.Be connected to input block and display unit on the PDA Chinese operating platform, PDA accepts the modification of user command and parameter as host computer, and the user touches functional module on the PDA screen with hand, enters input block, and the control parameter of refrigerator is set.Parameter after the setting or order send MCU as slave computer by communication serial ports and the communication data transceiver module that includes communications protocol, data definition to by the RS-232 mode.The MCU detecting unit is gathered physical parameters such as refrigerator the temperature inside the box by temperature sensor, data are transmitted asynchronous serial RS-232 mode by bi-directional data and are sent to display unit on the PDA, shown in display unit.Video data comprises refrigerating chamber displays temperature, temperature-changing chamber displays temperature, refrigerating chamber displays temperature and door switch information etc.The CPU processing unit of MCU is handled according to data that collect and input setting, and the output control signal of telecommunication is finished the control to the refrigerator load.Load generally comprises compressor, magnetic valve, heater or the like.Load circuit is connected with the CPU of MCU by control module.PDA to the function of refrigerator control by the data setting of refrigerator MCU is realized.Data communication between PDA and the CPU adopts the communication modes of query formulation.Transmission bit rate is 4800bps; Transmission voltage is 12V.PDA is sent to CPU to the information of user's input on the screen by interface, and CPU information in view of the above controls load circuit output control signal.The user can also be provided with intelligence, cold, the quick-frozen function of speed on the PDA screen, or sets the function of refrigerating chamber, temperature-changing chamber, refrigerating chamber On/Off.See Fig. 6, PDA personal digital assistant 1 is embedded on the door face board of refrigerator 2.Embedded plastic housing on the door body of refrigerator 2, PDA embeds in the plastic housing with removably, specifically can be on the frame of the outer of PDA some grabs to be set, and the opening edge that hooks plastic housing with grab is along (Fig. 6 is not shown).
