In an alternative embodiment, the gas conditioning device 120 may comprise a modified atmosphere film, which allows only oxygen in the gas to pass through, thereby filtering out the oxygen in the gas and reducing the oxygen concentration in the fresh food subspace 111. However, the gas conditioning device 120 including the gas conditioning membrane is relatively expensive and relatively complex in construction. The present invention may preferably employ the deoxidation pipe 121.

And the infrared sensor 105 may be configured to be controlled to detect the temperature of the food material placed within the fresh food subspace 111.
When the opening and closing detector 104 detects that the fresh-keeping subspace 111 is opened and the second preset time after the fresh-keeping subspace 111 is closed, the controller 130 may control the weight sensor 101 to detect the weight of the food material placed in the fresh-keeping subspace 111 respectively, and obtain the detection value of the weight sensor 101 respectively, that is, the initial weight value and the current weight value described below, and the controller 130 may also control the infrared sensor 105 to detect the temperature of the food material placed in the fresh-keeping subspace 111 respectively, and obtain the detection value of the infrared sensor 105 respectively, that is, the initial temperature value and the current temperature value described below.
The processor 131 of the controller 130 calculates an absolute value of a difference between the current weight value and the initial weight value, that is, a weight difference described below, and calculates an absolute value of a difference between the current temperature value and the initial temperature value, that is, a temperature difference described below, when the processor 131 determines that the weight difference is greater than a preset weight difference threshold and the temperature difference is greater than a preset temperature difference threshold, it is determined that the food material placed in the fresh-keeping subspace 111 changes, the weight of the food material detected by the weight sensor 101 after the fresh-keeping subspace 111 is closed can be obtained again, a preset oxygen concentration corresponding to the weight of the food material is obtained, the oxygen concentration detected by the oxygen concentration sensor 102 is obtained, and the circulation pump 103 is correspondingly controlled, so that the oxygen concentration of the fresh-keeping subspace 111 is within the preset oxygen concentration range.
Based on the refrigeration and freezing apparatus 100, as shown in fig. 5, the freshness protection control method of the present embodiment may include:
s502, acquiring the weight of the food material currently stored in the fresh-keeping subspace 111 detected by the weight sensor 101;
s504, acquiring a preset oxygen concentration corresponding to the weight of the currently stored food material;
s506, the oxygen concentration detected by the oxygen concentration sensor 102 is obtained, and the circulating pump 103 is correspondingly controlled, so that the oxygen concentration of the fresh-keeping subspace 111 is kept in the preset oxygen concentration range.
The preset oxygen concentration and the weight of the food material have a one-to-one correspondence relationship, and a mathematical model of the oxygen concentration and the weight of the food material is constructed in advance and stored in a database that can be retrieved by the processor 131. The embodiment detects the weight of the food material in the fresh-keeping subspace 111 through the weight sensor 101, and adjusts the oxygen concentration of the fresh-keeping subspace 111 to the preset oxygen concentration according to the preset oxygen concentration corresponding to the food material with different weights by using the gas regulating device 120, so that the metabolism of the food material is inhibited while the efficiency of the circulating pump 103 and the gas regulating device 120 is improved, and the fresh-keeping time of the food material is prolonged.
The step of acquiring the oxygen concentration detected by the oxygen concentration sensor 102 includes: and controlling the oxygen concentration sensor 102 to collect the oxygen concentration of the primary fresh-keeping subspace 111 at intervals of a first preset time, and obtaining the oxygen concentration detected by the oxygen concentration sensor 102 every time. The first preset time may be preset before the factory of the refrigeration and freezing apparatus 100, for example, the first preset time is 5s, so as to dynamically monitor the oxygen concentration of the fresh-keeping subspace 111 and adjust the oxygen concentration of the fresh-keeping subspace 111 accordingly.
And the step of controlling the circulation pump 103 accordingly may comprise:
when the oxygen concentration of the fresh-keeping subspace 111 is equal to or lower than the difference between the preset oxygen concentration and the preset deviation of the oxygen concentration, the circulating pump 103 is closed;
when the oxygen concentration of the fresh-keeping subspace 111 is higher than the sum of the preset oxygen concentration and the preset deviation of the oxygen concentration, the circulating pump 103 is controlled to be started at a first preset power, and the power of the circulating pump 103 is controlled to be reduced along with the reduction of the acquired oxygen concentration detected by the oxygen concentration sensor 102 every time.
That is, when the oxygen concentration of the fresh-keeping subspace 111 is reduced to a certain concentration, the circulation pump 103 is turned off, and when the oxygen concentration is increased to a certain concentration, the circulation pump 103 is turned on, so that the gas of the fresh-keeping subspace 111 is deoxygenated through the gas conditioning device 120, the oxygen concentration is gradually reduced, and along with the reduction of the oxygen concentration of the fresh-keeping subspace 111, the power of the circulation pump 103 is dynamically adjusted, the power of the circulation pump 103 is gradually reduced, so that the energy consumption of the circulation pump 103 is reduced while the oxygen concentration of the fresh-keeping subspace 111 is reduced to the preset oxygen concentration. Moreover, the embodiment introduces the oxygen concentration preset deviation to correct the preset oxygen concentration, and avoids frequent opening or closing of the circulating pump 103.
The corresponding relationship between the oxygen concentration and the power of the circulation pump 103 may be stored in the database in advance for the processor 131 to call when executing the steps of the aforementioned control method.
The control method may be continuously executed or executed at intervals of a fixed preset time during the operation of the refrigeration and freezing apparatus 100, but since the food material in the fresh-keeping subspace 111 may not change in a period of time, the continuous execution may increase the energy consumption of the refrigeration and freezing apparatus 100 and bring about ineffective work, and the execution at intervals of a fixed preset time may also bring about ineffective work due to uncertainty of the time of the change of the food material. Therefore, before the step of obtaining the weight of the food material currently stored in the fresh-keeping subspace 111 detected by the weight sensor 101, the control method of the embodiment further sets the following steps:
detecting an event of opening and closing the fresh-keeping subspace 111;
in the process that the fresh-keeping subspace 111 is opened and closed, whether the food material placed in the fresh-keeping subspace 111 changes or not is detected, and when the food material placed in the fresh-keeping subspace 111 changes, the step of acquiring the weight of the food material currently stored in the fresh-keeping subspace 111, which is detected by the weight sensor 101, is executed.
By detecting the state of the food material in the process of opening and closing the fresh-keeping subspace 111, the opportunity of the fresh-keeping subspace 111 for the change of the food material can be accurately grasped, and when the food material changes, the control method is started, so that the oxygen concentration of the fresh-keeping subspace 111 can be timely adjusted according to the change of the weight of the food material, the invalid work can be avoided, and the overall energy consumption of the refrigeration and freezing device 100 can be reduced.
The preservation control method can also comprise the following steps: after the fresh-keeping subspace 111 is determined to be opened and before the fresh-keeping subspace 111 is not closed, the circulation pump 103 and the oxygen concentration sensor 102 are controlled to be kept closed, and due to the process, air in the external environment can enter the fresh-keeping subspace 111 to cause unstable oxygen concentration in the fresh-keeping subspace 111, so that accurate oxygen concentration cannot be provided for the opening of the circulation pump 103.
The control method of the present embodiment may further consider a coping manner when the oxygen concentration sensor 102 is out of order, and specifically, the step of correspondingly controlling the circulation pump 103 may further include: if the oxygen concentration detected by the oxygen concentration sensor 102 is not within the preset effective range of the oxygen concentration sensor 102, outputting a warning of the fault of the oxygen concentration sensor 102, and controlling the circulating pump 103 to start at a second preset power for a third preset time and stop at a fourth preset time for circulating work. Therefore, when the oxygen concentration sensor 102 fails, the oxygen concentration in the fresh-keeping subspace 111 can be timely reduced, and a fault prompt is timely output so as to facilitate timely replacement.
In the process that the fresh-keeping subspace 111 is opened and closed, the step of detecting whether the food material placed in the fresh-keeping subspace 111 changes may specifically include:
when the fresh-keeping subspace 111 is opened, acquiring the weight of the food material placed in the fresh-keeping subspace 111, detected by the weight sensor 101, recording the weight as an initial weight value, and detecting the temperature of the food material placed in the fresh-keeping subspace 111 to acquire an initial temperature value;
when the preservation subspace 111 is closed for a second preset time, acquiring the weight of the food materials placed in the preservation subspace 111, detected by the weight sensor 101, recording the weight as a current weight value, and detecting the temperature of the food materials placed in the preservation subspace 111 to acquire a current temperature value;
calculating the absolute value of the difference value between the current weight value and the initial weight value, recording the absolute value as the weight difference, and calculating the absolute value of the difference value between the current temperature value and the initial temperature value, and recording the absolute value as the temperature difference;
when the weight difference is greater than the preset weight difference threshold value and the temperature difference is greater than the preset temperature difference threshold value, it is determined that the food materials placed in the fresh-keeping subspace 111 change.
The change of the value detected by the weight sensor 101 indicates that the food material in the fresh-keeping subspace 111 increases or decreases, the increase of the food material indicates that a new food material is put into the fresh-keeping subspace 111, and the decrease of the food material may be that the original food material is decreased and no new food material is put into the fresh-keeping subspace 111, or that the original food material is decreased and a new food material is put into the fresh-keeping subspace 111, which is more significant for prolonging the storage time of the new food material. Therefore, the present embodiment can utilize the temperature sensor, for example, the infrared sensor 105, to detect the change of the value to verify whether the fresh-keeping subspace 111 is filled with the new food material, and after determining that the fresh-keeping subspace 111 is filled with the new food material, the aforementioned steps of the control method are executed to ensure the storage time of the new food material.
