If user wishes to check indoor temperature and humidity, also can be operated by interactive panel 6, the result after selected will be shown by display unit, easy to use.
Embodiment two:
The fresh-keeping control method of fresh-keeping refrigerator as described in embodiment one, comprises the following steps:
S1, reading design temperature and setting humidity;
S2, to be detected by temperature-detecting device 2 and the actual temperature in humidity detector 4 pairs of storerooms and actual humidity, and result is delivered to described intelligent controlling device 1;
S3, contrast design temperature and actual temperature, temperature control equipment 3 performs according to comparing result and heats up or cooling action;
Contrast setting humidity and actual humidity, humidity conditioner 5 performs humidification or dehumidifying action according to comparing result;
After S4, step S3 perform setting-up time, again perform step S1.
Intelligent controlling device 1 is by above-mentioned circulation step, and the temperature and humidity in real time in adjustment storeroom, makes it remain near setup parameter value, guarantees that food materials are in best fresh-keeping store status.
Further, in described step S1, described design temperature with setting humidity is:
The design temperature that user manually inputs and setting humidity; Namely user can need to arrange the temperature and humidity in storeroom according to use;
Or, the food materials kind that analytic unit 7 inputs according to user, the target temperature provided and target humidity.Because the fresh-keeping parameter area of different food materials might not be identical, in order to obtain best preservation condition, can according to the food materials kind stored in storeroom, the temperature and humidity parameter providing one group of compromise is fixed.
In addition, the preferred built-in at least one group of initial preservation temperature of intelligent controlling device 1 and initial fresh-keeping humidity, facilitate new user to use; Even user does not have design temperature and humidity, does not input the kind of food materials in storeroom yet, then run with initial fresh-keeping parameter.
In use procedure, user can adjust temperature and humidity at any time, when to perform step S1 next time, can adjust according to the amended parameter of user, make the humiture of storeroom reach rational goal-selling, finally make the mouthfeel that food keeps best, and can the long period be stored.
As can be seen from the above embodiments, fresh-keeping refrigerator described in the utility model, by carrying out examinations, adjustment to the temperature and humidity in storeroom, can make the food materials moment be in best fresh-keeping state, make the mouthfeel that food keeps best, and can the long period be stored; User can pass through to operate in interactive panel 6 or directly adjust the storage condition in storeroom on the wireless terminals such as mobile phone, easy to operate; When food materials kind is more, cannot determining that best storage condition is, by directly inputting the mode of all food materials, directly providing best storage condition by analytic unit 7, easy and simple to handle; Many group humidity detectors 4 and humidity conditioner 5 are set, for the storeroom having multiple separate compartment, different compartments can be controlled separately, make can obtain different storage conditions in the different compartments of storeroom, conveniently store preservation temperature, humidity range value differs larger different food materials.
Fresh-keeping control method described in the utility model, by the cycling detecting in real time, contrast, adjust, realize the real-time adjustment to storage indoor temperature, humidity, under the temperature making the food materials moment be in setting and humidity, make food materials be in the fresh-keeping state of the best as much as possible; Because aforesaid operations is persistent loop, when after the fresh-keeping parameter of user's active accommodation, can perform according to the parameter of new settings immediately, fast response time.
The above is only preferred embodiment of the present utility model; should be understood that; for those skilled in the art; under the prerequisite not departing from the utility model know-why; can also make some improvement and replacement, these improve and replace and also should be considered as protection domain of the present utility model.
