An odor sensor is also arranged in the refrigerating chamber of the refrigerator and used for recording a resistance value corresponding to a food odor concentration value in the refrigerating chamber in history; the refrigerator is also in communication connection with a remote server and is used for exchanging information with the remote server, and the refrigerator is also provided with a processor which is used for detecting the information acquired by the spectrum detection module, the camera and the odor sensor and calculating according to the acquired information and the information received from the server; as shown in fig. 1, the method includes:
and S1, putting the food to be defrosted into the defreezing chamber for defrosting.
And S2, determining the food weight corresponding to the type information according to the mapping relation between the food volume corresponding to the type information of the food determined by the spectrum information and the food weight.
Specifically, the spectral information of the food is obtained based on the acquired spectral image, and the type information of the food is determined according to the spectral information. Carrying out image data processing on the obtained spectral image to obtain the volume of the food, specifically, carrying out binarization operation on the spectral image, carrying out region labeling on the spectral image after binarization, then determining the position information of the edge of the spectral image after the area marking, calculating the projection area of the food based on the position information, namely the projection area of the area surrounded by the determined edge, when the area surrounded by the determined edge is a plurality of areas, the sum of the projection area of each area is the projection area of the food, then determining the volume of the food based on the projected area of the food and the mapping relation between the projected area of the food and the volume of the food corresponding to the category information, the cloud server or the database stores the mapping relation between the area and the volume of each food, and the detection device for the weight of the food in the refrigerator determines the volume corresponding to the area of each food according to the mapping relation. The region marking is performed on the binarized spectral image to remove redundant parts in the spectral image so as to determine the edge of the spectral image after the region marking, for example, when the food is fruits such as apples, apple stalks and the like are removed. The remote server stores the mapping relation between the food volume and the food weight of each food, and the detection device of the food weight in the refrigerator can determine the weight corresponding to the volume of each food according to the mapping relation.
And S3, calculating the freshness of the thawed food.
The freshness of the food is a numerical characteristic that represents whether the food is fresh, and the freshness of the food can be determined using any one of the methods of retrieving whether the food is fresh in the prior art.
S4, judging whether the total change situation of the food in the refrigerating chamber of the refrigerator tends to be severe or not according to the quality variation rate of the food, if so, executing S11, and if not, executing S5.
And S5, judging whether the freshness of the food is high or low, if so, controlling according to a preset temperature control measure, and if not, executing S6.
If the judgment result is high, the food to be put in is fresh, and the food stored in the refrigerating chamber is better, which is the most expected refrigerating chamber condition of the user, and at this time, the temperature can be normally controlled according to the set temperature control measure in the refrigerating chamber. The given temperature control measure may be any temperature control strategy known in the art. Specifically, the freshness of the current food can be compared with a preset freshness value corresponding to the current food, and if the freshness value of the current food is greater than the preset freshness value, the determination is high, otherwise, the determination is low. The freshness value corresponding to the current food can be stored in the remote server, so that the freshness value can be flexibly controlled by background personnel according to different food conditions.
And S6, determining the weight value of the food according to the information of the type of the food to be put in.
Experimenters can obtain storage weights of different foods through experimental means and related experience, namely, when different foods are stored in a refrigerating chamber together, the temperature environment of the current refrigerating chamber should be selectively inclined towards the foods with high storage weights, for example, the optimal storage condition of a typical food 1 is a condition 1, the optimal storage condition of a typical food 2 is a condition 2, and the like, while the storage condition of the typical food 1 is severer than that of the typical food 2, namely, the storage weight a of the typical food is larger than that of the typical food 2, namely, when the typical food 1 and the typical food 2 are stored in one chamber together, the optimal storage condition of the refrigerator should be inclined towards the condition 1 in order to store the foods evenly, so that the typical food 1 and the typical food 2 can be stored evenly, the optimal storage condition of the foods with harsh storage conditions is ensured as much as possible, food which is not harsh relative to the preservation conditions should be given way to food which is harsh in preservation conditions. In the present application, the optimal storage condition of a food may be an optimal storage temperature range of the food, and the optimal storage temperature range of the food may be a storage temperature range determined by integrating the deterioration rate, the nutrition loss degree, and the like of the food through a long-term storage test of the food. Meanwhile, the remote server also stores correction coefficients of typical foods with different foods for correcting the storage weight value a of the specific foods compared with the typical foods, for example, an experimenter uses shrimps as the typical foods, defines the storage weight value a as 5, classifies the river fishes and the shrimps into one class, namely the typical foods of the class are the shrimps with the storage weight value of 5, and presets the correction coefficients corresponding to the river fishes as 0.85, namely the storage weight value of the river fishes as 4.25. Furthermore, when the refrigerator detects that the food stored in the refrigerator is currently combined, the storage weight value of each food can be determined according to the correction coefficient between the food and the typical food classified into the same type. The stored weight values for the representative foods were determined by the experimenter by experimental comparisons of different foods. Obviously, due to the variety of food types, experimenters cannot exhaust the storage weight values and the optimal storage temperature ranges of various foods, but for more common foods, the storage weight values and the optimal storage temperature ranges of the foods can be determined experimentally. In addition, the remote server can collect the storage weight values of different foods reported by a large number of users in a mode of collecting the active reported information of the users, so that the storage weight values of a certain food are comprehensively obtained by utilizing the large number of reported information of the users. For example, the refrigerator may inquire the storage weight value of the taken food for the taken food by the user through the human-computer interaction interface when the user takes the food each time, and the user may input the storage weight value deemed appropriate by the user according to the subjective feeling of the user and send the storage weight value to the remote server.
And S7, correcting the storage weight value of the food to be put according to the freshness.
When the step is executed, the freshness of the food to be put is poor, but the whole freshness of the food stored in the refrigerating chamber is good, so that the food to be put can have adverse effects on the stored food, and the food to be put should be stored in a key manner. In the present invention, the storage weight value of the food to be put in may be corrected according to freshness at this step, and the corrected storage weight value of the food to be put in may be expanded, so as to perform the ranking comparison in S10. Specifically, a comparison table of "freshness degree-correction coefficient" may be preset, in which a comparison table between the preset freshness degree and the correction coefficient is recorded, in the present application, the smaller the freshness degree is, the larger the correction coefficient is, the correction coefficient may be a number greater than 1 and smaller than 2, and the corrected storage weight value of the food to be put in may be a product of the original storage weight value of the food to be put in and the correction coefficient. The correction coefficient in the "freshness-correction coefficient" comparison table may be a correction coefficient determined one by an experimenter according to experimental data, for example, for some foods, once the freshness is lower than a certain level, the food will be deteriorated rapidly, and for other foods, the freshness is changed gradually and evenly, so for the two foods, when the freshness of the first food is lower than a certain value, a larger correction coefficient is needed to correct the storage weight value of the first food, so that the first food is ranked higher in step S10, and a better storage temperature of the first food can be obtained.
And S8, determining the lower limit value of the optimal storage temperature range of the food to be placed.
The optimal storage temperature range value of each food is stored in the remote server, and the lower limit value of the optimal storage temperature range of the food to be put is obtained in the step.
And S9, judging whether the lower limit value is in the currently determined optimal temperature range, if so, controlling the temperature of the refrigerator according to the lower limit value, and if not, executing S10.
In the application, the refrigerating chamber can set the current optimal temperature range of the refrigerating chamber according to a certain temperature setting rule, for example, according to the storage weight of food stored in the refrigerating chamber, the temperature is preferentially controlled according to the optimal temperature range of the food with the largest storage weight; if the lower limit value is within the optimal temperature range, the temperature is controlled according to the lower limit value, the storage requirement of food to be put in is met, and the overall temperature control logic of the current refrigerating chamber is also met. The higher the food storage temperature is, the stronger the microbial activity on the surface of the food is, and the more easily the food is deteriorated, at the moment, the lower limit value of the optimal temperature range of the food is adopted to control the temperature, namely, the temperature is reduced as much as possible on the premise of ensuring the optimal storage temperature of the food to be put in, the optimal preservation temperature is reached, and the temperature requirements of the food in the refrigerating chamber are balanced.
S10, checking the weight ranking of the food to be placed in the refrigerating chamber according to the corrected storage weight value, judging whether the weight ranking of the food to be placed is arranged in the preset percentage, if so, controlling the temperature of the refrigerator according to the lower limit value of the optimal storage temperature range of the food to be placed, and if not, not changing the temperature of the refrigerating chamber.
If the weight of the food to be placed is ranked within the preset percentage, such as within the first 50%, it indicates that the temperature severity of the food to be placed has a certain significance compared with other foods, and because the overall change situation of the food in the refrigerating chamber does not tend to be severe currently, it is urgent to ensure that the food to be placed cannot affect other foods due to deterioration, so it is better to control the temperature with the lower limit value of the optimal storage temperature range of the food to be placed, so as to ensure that the food which is most likely to deteriorate is best stored. If the weight ranking of the food to be put in is not within the preset percentage, it indicates that even if the weight value of the food to be put in is increased to a certain degree, the food still can not be regarded as food with harsh temperature compared with other foods in the refrigerating chamber, and the factors of the other stored foods in the refrigerating chamber are comprehensively considered, so that the temperature of the refrigerating chamber is not changed, and the overall food quality is maintained.
And S11, judging the freshness of the food, if so, executing S12, and if not, controlling the temperature according to the minimum value of the lower limit values of the optimal temperature ranges of all the put-in food.
If the temperature of the food in the refrigerating chamber is low, the temperature is controlled at the minimum value of the lower limit value of the optimal temperature range in all the foods, which is the worst case and indicates that the foods in the refrigerating chamber are deteriorated and the newly added foods to be put in are not fresh enough.
If the height is high, the food in the refrigerating chamber is deteriorated, and the newly added food to be put in is fresh enough, so that the stored food is required to be deteriorated slowly as much as possible, and the food to be put in is required to play a certain protection role.
And S12, acquiring the current temperature of the refrigerating chamber.
And S13, judging whether the current temperature of the refrigerating chamber is higher than the upper limit of the optimal temperature range of the food to be put, if so, controlling the temperature to the lower limit of the optimal temperature range of the food to be put, and if not, taking the lower limit of the optimal temperature range of the food to be put and the minimum value of the current temperature as the temperature control temperature.
Because the food in the refrigerating chamber is deteriorating, the refrigerating chamber is required to be cooled to slow down the deterioration, if the temperature of the refrigerating chamber is higher than the upper limit of the optimal temperature range of the food to be put in, the temperature of the refrigerating chamber is cooled to the lower limit of the optimal temperature range of the food to be put in, so that the temperature can be reduced, and the temperature after cooling is still in the optimal temperature range of the food to be put in; if the current temperature of the refrigerating chamber is not higher than the upper limit of the optimal temperature range of the food to be put, the temperature of the refrigerating chamber is indicated to be either larger than the lower limit of the optimal temperature range of the food to be put or smaller than or equal to the lower limit of the optimal temperature range of the food to be put, the lower limit of the optimal temperature range of the food to be put and the minimum value of the current temperature are taken, namely, the current temperature of the refrigerating chamber is maintained or controlled to be lower than the lower limit of the optimal temperature range of the food to be put, so that the degradation rate of the stored food is slowed down and the low-temperature storage of the food to be put is also considered under the condition of.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the S3 includes:
s31, the camera in the thawing chamber collects the image of the thawed food and sends the image to the processor, and the processor compares the image information collected by the camera with the color saturation of the corresponding fresh food stored in the remote server and calculates the color saturation difference.
Specifically, the thawing process can be divided into conventional thawing and water thawing, the fresh food image stored in the remote server is also divided into two types, namely a conventional thawed image and a water thawed image, and the thawing state of the food after being thawed is as close as possible to the thawing state of the food after being thawed, so that consistency of comparison conditions is realized.
And S32, acquiring odor concentration data of the thawed food by an odor sensor in the thawing chamber.
The odor concentration data is specifically a detectable resistance value which is converted out by the odor sensor according to the odor intensity. The smell sensor can convert the detected smell intensity into a detectable resistance value, and in the application, the larger the detected smell intensity is, the larger the converted resistance value is.
And S33, calculating the odor concentration data of the unit volume of the thawed food according to the food volume information.
And S34, determining the freshness of the thawed food according to the odor concentration data of the unit volume of the thawed food and the color saturation difference.
Specifically, for different kinds of food, the weight values of the odor concentration data and the color saturation difference value per unit volume in determining the freshness of the food are preset. A comparison table of the corresponding freshness degrees in the case where only the odor concentration data per unit volume or the color saturation difference value changes is set for each food, respectively (i.e., in the case where only the odor concentration data per unit volume or the color saturation difference value changes is considered), the sum of the two freshness degrees multiplied by the corresponding weight values is calculated, and the sum is determined as the thawed freshness degree of the food, where the sum of the weight values of the odor concentration data per unit volume and the color saturation difference value in determining the freshness degree of the food is 1. Specifically, the freshness value in the comparison table corresponding to freshness when the odor concentration data per unit volume and the color saturation difference value change under the single variable may be determined as follows: taking the color saturation of the food with standard freshness as a reference value, and defining the freshness value as 1 (namely freshness) when the change of the color saturation difference value is not more than 10% compared with the reference value; when the change of the color saturation difference value exceeds 10% but is less than 20% of the reference value, the freshness value is defined as 0.8, and the like, and the freshness is a decimal between 1 and 0, i.e. the larger the change of the color saturation difference value is compared with the reference value, the smaller the corresponding freshness value is, the fresher the color saturation difference value is, and the fresher the color is. Similarly, the odor concentration per unit volume of the food with the standard freshness can be used as a reference value, and the corresponding freshness value can be determined according to the proportion of the detected odor concentration per unit volume of the food exceeding the reference value, wherein the freshness is a decimal between 1 and 0.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the S4 includes:
and S41, acquiring a resistance mean value change image of the latest h hours according to the historical resistance value corresponding to the food smell concentration value in the refrigerating chamber.
And S42, calculating the food quality deterioration rate at the future time according to the resistance mean value change image.
Specifically, the rate of change of the area surrounded by the resistance average change image per unit time is calculated as the food quality deterioration rate.
The smaller the rate of change, the smaller the rate of deterioration of the quality of the food, and the larger the rate of change, the larger the rate of deterioration of the quality of the food. Since the quality of food stored in the refrigerator is always deteriorated, the refrigerator has good storage quality and only slows down the rate of deterioration of food. According to laboratory experiments, the main cause of the deterioration of stored food is the mass propagation of microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi and the like) on the surface of the food, if the stored food starts to deteriorate, the odor with a certain concentration is inevitably released along with the mass bacteria and fungi on the surface of the food, the odor with the concentration also exponentially changes because the growth of the microorganisms exponentially changes, and whether the food is going to deteriorate at an accelerated speed can be judged only by using a resistance mean value change image even if other devices for detecting the quality of the food are not arranged.
And taking the average value of the food quality deterioration rate of the previous m hours as the food quality deterioration rate of the next m hours.
Wherein, the value of m can be 24 or 48, and the like, namely, the average value of one week day or two week days is taken. This is to consider that the user takes the food in the refrigerator periodically within one or two days, and if the user is a person who is frequently using the refrigerator to take and place the food, the consumption of the food in the refrigerator is relatively large, fresh vegetables are relatively replenished in the refrigerator, and the user can more probably keep track of the food with an excessively long storage period when taking the food in the refrigerator. By using the index of the food quality variation rate in the refrigerator historically, a plurality of factors with periodic regularity, such as the use frequency of a user, the food access rate and the like, can be integrated, and an objective future food quality variation rate can be predicted.
The invention also provides a refrigerator using the method for controlling the food storage temperature of the refrigerator provided by any one of the embodiments.
