And above-mentioned microcomputer 60 receives and the relevant instruction of refrigerator control by input unit 20, and carries out the freezing and refrigeration control operation.And above-mentioned microcomputer 60 is understood background datas, the information relevant with the refrigerator state from above-mentioned storage device 30, and as shown in Figure 2, it is presented in the above-mentioned display unit 10.And above-mentioned microcomputer 60 receives from above-mentioned optical sensor 50 and detects illumination, and it is stored in the above-mentioned storage device 30, and receives the operation form of distributors 40 from above-mentioned input unit 20, and it is stored in the above-mentioned storage device 30.Function for microcomputer 60 will be described in more detail below.
In the operational flowchart of the device for regulating illumination of refrigerator as shown in Figure 3,
Step S31 is to be used for process that benchmark illumination is changed to step S34, and step S41 is the process that is used for lighting according to benchmark illumination bulb portion 42 to step S44.For convenience of description, it is illustrated with a flow chart.
In step S31, being presented in the display unit 10 more than in detection illumination that microcomputer 60 will be stored in storage device 30 and the benchmark illumination.Wherein, above-mentioned detection illumination is the illumination that is stored in after microcomputer 60 receives or receives by optical sensor 50 in the storage device 30.In order to make the user be easy to confirm detect each degree of illumination and benchmark illumination, and two illumination etc. relatively, will show by numeral, chart or figure etc. this moment.
In step S32, when microcomputer 60 by input unit 20 receive users to the change request of the benchmark illumination of current setting the time, with execution in step S33, otherwise with execution in step S41.In order to receive above-mentioned change request, above-mentioned microcomputer 60 will be understood the user interface of storage in the storage device 30, and it is presented in the display unit 10.
In step S33, microcomputer 60 is understood the corresponding user interface of benchmark brightness value change request with the user from storage device 30, and it is presented in the display unit 10, and, to receive the change value of user's input by input unit 20, above-mentioned change value will be set at increases or reduces set value to current benchmark illumination.At this moment, above-mentioned microcomputer 60 will reflect that the benchmark illumination (as yet determine) of above-mentioned change value is presented in the above-mentioned display unit 10, thus can make the user by with detect illumination relatively after, confirm its change degree.
In step S34, import the change end operation when the input operation that no longer includes the change value or by the user after, microcomputer 60 is reflected to the benchmark illumination of current setting with the change value of above-mentioned input, and stores.Subsequently, with execution in step S31, and show the benchmark illumination that detects illumination and renewal.
Then, be the process of lighting of the bulb portion 42 corresponding with benchmark illumination.
In step S41,,, otherwise will carry out keeping holding state before the input operation with execution in step S42 when microcomputer 60 receives when starting (switch open) operation from operating lever portion 41.
In step S42, the benchmark illumination of storage in detection illumination that microcomputer 60 relatively detects by optical sensor 50 (or detection illumination of storage in the storage device 30) and the storage device 30, when detecting that illumination equals benchmark illumination or during less than benchmark illumination, with execution in step S43, microcomputer 60 will make the bulb of bulb portion 42 open, thereby make the inside of distributor 40 and the place ahead have the illumination that is user-friendly to.When detecting illumination greater than benchmark illumination, that is, when the inside of current distributor 40 and the place ahead have had the illumination that is user-friendly to, with execution in step S44, microcomputer 60 will make above-mentioned bulb portion 42 keep closed condition.
More than the change process of benchmark illumination and the process of lighting of bulb are illustrated above-mentioned change process and light process and can carry out separately mutually.
The demonstration of detection illumination and benchmark illumination detects illumination and benchmark illumination and represents with picture oblique line part (A) and blank parts (B) as shown in Figure 4.Wherein, the left side is the lower part of illumination (low), and the right side is the higher part of illumination (height).Microcomputer 60 available digital show to detect illumination and benchmark illumination, but in order visually better relatively to detect illumination and benchmark illumination, and show with figure.And each draws oblique line part (A) and blank parts (B) is divided with set change value (for example, a square frame is made of at interval 100lux), thereby will change benchmark illumination by above-mentioned change process, and shows the benchmark illumination of above-mentioned change.
Certainly, above-mentioned detection illumination and benchmark illumination available digital show, and above-mentioned change value also can be made of " 1 " lux unit, and above-mentioned display method also can be selected by the user.
The effect of invention
The present invention can make the user be easy to confirm and the distributor corresponding information of illumination on every side, and after more current illumination and benchmark illumination, in order to make the user confirm the degree of benchmark illumination, and show with numeral, figure and chart etc., also can make the user that benchmark illumination is carried out change setting, thereby light the bulb of distributor according to surrounding environment or user's hobby.
The above, it only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, be not that the present invention is done any pro forma restriction, every foundation technical spirit of the present invention all still belongs in the scope of technical solution of the present invention any simple modification, equivalent variations and modification that above embodiment did.
