The refrigerator storage food history management system of the present invention for solving the problems of the conventional refrigerator article management control system as described above will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 is an overall configuration diagram of a refrigerator storage food history management system of the present invention. In FIG. 2, the refrigerator storage food history management system of the present invention converts an analog signal of the weight sensor 10 and the weight sensor 10 installed at the lower portion of each storage of the refrigerator into a digital signal, and converts the microcomputer 50 into the digital signal. The sensor signal processing unit 30 and the signal received from the sensor signal processing unit 30 are calculated to calculate the weight and generate an ID based on the weight, and the date information received from the time setting unit 20. Set the storage number information corresponding to the ID and store it in the storage device 90 together with the ID information of the food. The refrigerator according to a user input through an internal input button 80 or an external input button 60. To control to display the storage number information and the date of receipt on the external display 40 installed on the front and the internal display 70 installed on one side of the refrigerator. ECom 50, a storage device 90 for storing food ID information, storage number information and receipt date information by the control signal of the microcomputer 50, and the inside to be installed on one side of the refrigerator to input user requirements Consists of an input button 80 and an external input button 60 installed on the outside front of the refrigerator, and an internal display 70 and an external display 40 for displaying necessary information according to the control of the microcomputer 50 or user requirements. will be. According to the first embodiment of the present invention configured as described above, the weight sensor 10 is installed below each storage unit, which means that one set of load cells (small cells) is configured to measure the total weight of each storage. Will be configured). In the case of having a set of load cells for measuring the total weight in the lower portion of each storage as described above, the whole in the microcomputer 50 measured by the weight monitoring sensor 10 and converted by the sensor signal processor 30 to receive the signal The weight is calculated and an ID is generated based on the total weight, and the ID information is stored in the storage device 90 together with the storage number information and the date information received from the time setting unit 20. Wearing the matching storage number information is controlled to be displayed on the internal display 70 and the external display 40 together with the date information. In addition, the second embodiment of the present invention is that the weight sensor 10 is configured as a grid load cell. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the method for generating an ID in the microcomputer 50, when the user puts food into any storage, the storage calculates the sum of the weights of the grid cells occupied by the food among the entire grid load cells. Recognizing the grid cell occupied by the food to generate ID information, the generated ID information is stored in the storage device 90 with the storage number information and the date information received from the time setting unit 20 The internal display 70 and the external display 40 may be displayed sequentially or in the order of the wearing date. In addition, the display method of the internal display 70 and the external display 40 is configured to form a grid similar to the grid load cell type installed in the refrigerator storage on the screen, the corresponding storage number in which the food to be displayed is stored, the food occupancy in the storage. Location and receipt date information can be provided. In the above, the storage number information defines each compartment as a storage in the refrigerator, and can assign an arbitrary number according to the grid load cell installed in each storage.

Figure 3 is a flow chart for generating ID when the food is applied to the refrigerator storage food history management system of the present invention. In FIG. 3, when the food enters the refrigerator storage (S11), an ID is generated by identifying the sum of the weights of the cells occupied by the food and the position of the load cell in the grid load cell located under the storage (S12). , The ID, the storage number information where the food is located, the location information of the load cell, and the receipt date information are generated and stored in the storage device.

Figure 4 is a flow chart for generating ID when the food factory is applied to the refrigerator food storage history management system of the present invention. In FIG. 4, when the food is shipped from the refrigerator storage (S21), the sum of the weights of the grid load cells occupied by the food in the grid load cell of the storage from which the food is shipped is calculated as 0 (S22). The ID can be determined based on the occupied location information of the corresponding grid load cell (S23). When the food is shipped from the storage as described above, the ID is deleted from the storage device and the display of the display is stopped (S24). ).
