As shown in fig. 1 to 5, the intelligent refrigerator provided in this embodiment includes a box body, a turntable assembly 60 disposed in the box body, a motor for controlling the turntable assembly 60 to rotate, a control module, and an identification module 61; the control module includes two photosensors 605 and a master controller (not shown);

the turntable assembly 60 comprises a rotating shaft 603, at least one layer of turntable 601 is arranged on the rotating shaft 603, and a plurality of clamping grooves for storing food material boxes 602 are arranged on each layer of turntable 601 at equal intervals; a coded disc 604 is coaxially arranged in the rotating shaft 603, and the coded disc 604 and the rotating shaft 603 move synchronously; the code wheel 604 is provided with a plurality of notches for triggering the photoelectric sensor 605, and the notches include a plurality of alignment notches 6041 for positioning the identification position corresponding to the position of the click groove and at least one origin notch 6042 for positioning the origin position of the code wheel 604.

The main controller receives a trigger signal of the photoelectric sensor 605 to control the motor to stop moving, so that the code wheel 604 is positioned at an original position or an identification position. The identification module 61 and the motor are electrically connected with the main controller; when the code disc 604 is located at the identification position, the identification module 61 identifies the food material identifier on the food material box 602; when the identification module 61 identifies the target food material, the main controller controls the turntable assembly 60 to rotate, and the target food material is conveyed to the side door of the refrigerator.

In this embodiment, the motor may be any one of a stepping motor, a dc brushless motor, a servo motor, or the like, which can control the rotation of the turntable. The following description will be made by taking a stepping motor as an example.

In order to facilitate food material identification, under the control of the main controller, the stepping motor drives the rotating disc 601 to rotate, and when the rotating disc 601 rotates to the identification position, the rotating disc 601 is driven to stop, so that the identification module 61 identifies food materials on the rotating disc 601, and the identification position indicates that a certain food material box 602 on the rotating disc is aligned to the identification module 61, so that the identification module 61 scans and identifies food material identifiers on the food material box 602. However, in the process from starting to stopping of the stepping motor, the stepping motor is accelerated and then decelerated, and the motor is controlled to stop when reaching the identification position, so that the stepping motor is easy to rotate over due to the existence of deceleration, that is, the stepping phenomenon of the stepping motor is easily caused, the stepping phenomenon causes the turntable to exceed the identification position, and further the identification module 61 may not identify the food material identifier on the food material box 602.

In order to solve the step-out problem of the stepping motor, the present embodiment adds a code wheel 604 with an alignment notch 6041 and an origin notch 6042 and two photoelectric sensors 605 on the basis of the stepping motor, as shown in fig. 3 and 4. In this embodiment, the number of the alignment notches 6041 on the code disc 604 is 8, the number and the positions of the alignment notches 6041 correspond to the number and the positions of the card slots respectively, the alignment notches 6041 on the code disc 604 are positioned by the photoelectric sensor 605 to realize the positioning of the card slots on the turntable 601, that is, the turntable 601 is accurately rotated to each identification position, so that the identification module 61 identifies the card, and the problems that the card cannot be identified or the identification is inaccurate or the food material is missed and unidentified are avoided. In addition to the alignment notch 6041, an origin notch 6042 is provided in the code wheel 604, and the interval between the two photosensors 605 corresponds to the interval between the origin notch 6042 and one of the alignment notches 6041. When the two photosensors 605 are aligned with the origin notch 6042 and one of the alignment notches 6041, respectively, both output trigger signals (non-notched position since the code wheel 604 blocks the emitting end and the receiving end of the photosensor 605 from the output of the non-trigger signals), the dial 601 and the code wheel 604 are located at the origin position, as shown in fig. 3. Starting from the origin position, the rotating disc 601 and the code disc 604 are rotated 1/8 times, one food material box 602 on the rotating disc 601 is aligned with the identification module 61, and one photoelectric sensor 605 is aligned with one alignment notch 6041 every 1/8 times, namely, one photoelectric sensor 605 has a trigger signal output, and the other photoelectric sensor 605 has no trigger signal output, which indicates that the rotating disc is in the identification position, as shown in fig. 4. On the basis of 1/8 circles, the stepping motor performs deceleration rotation in advance, and the stop rotation of the stepping motor is controlled by combining a trigger signal output by a photoelectric sensor 605, so that each food material box 602 can be accurately aligned with the identification module 61, and the problem of positioning deviation caused by the step-out phenomenon of the stepping motor is solved.

In this embodiment, the identification module 61 may be one of a radio frequency identification module, a two-dimensional code identification module, and an ID code identification module, the food material identifier on the corresponding food material box 602 may be a radio frequency tag, a two-dimensional code, and an ID code, and the food material identifier carries the food material related information.

The identification module 61 can directly acquire the relevant information of the food material by scanning the food material identification, and compared with the mode of image acquisition and processing, the scanning identification technology does not need to perform complex image data processing, has no high image acquisition and processing mode on the light source requirement, and does not influence the identification result due to the unclear image data, so that the food material relevant information can be quickly and accurately acquired through the scanning identification mode, and the identification speed and the accuracy are greatly improved.
