Description

冰箱及其间室的分区控制方法、分区控制装置 技术领域
本发明涉及冰箱及其间室的分区控制方法、分区控制装置。
背景技术
现有冰箱通常使用布置于间室内部的温度传感器感测其布置位置周围的温度，并将该温度作为制冷控制的依据。
然而，使用这种控制方法进行冰箱控制时，在温度传感器测量的温度高于预设值时，冰箱间室启动制冷。而间室通常被搁物板分隔为多个相对独立的储物空间，刚放入物品的储物空间内的温度可能高于其他储物空间，并且，放置有物品的储物空间才需要制冷，其他闲置的储物空间则不需要制冷。但是，如果采用现有的冰箱的控制方法，则需要对整个间室进行制冷，造成了电能的浪费，这在大容积间室的情况下尤为明显。
另外，在冰箱间室的实际使用过程中，使用者会经常对所存物品进行存取，刚放入的物品一般温度较高，物品的温度通过热辐射的方式传导至间室整体需要一定时间，因此，相当于冰箱内已存物品在较长时间内没有发生温度变化，储藏效果下降。
发明内容
本发明的目的在于提供一种用于冰箱间室的分区控制方法、用于冰箱间室的分区控制装置以及相应冰箱，以克服现有技术中存在的至少一个问题。
一方面，本发明提供了一种用于冰箱间室的分区控制方法，其中所述冰箱包括用以打开或关闭间室的门体、将来自冷源的制冷空气分配至间室不同位置处的送风装置、对间室内进行拍摄的摄像装置、电性连接送风装置和摄像装置的控制单元；所述分区控制方法包括：S1，获取门体的开闭状态；S2，控制单元在收到门体的打开/关闭信息后，驱动摄像装置获取门体关闭后间室内的储物状态图；S3，调取本次门体打开前间室内的储物状态图，并与上述门体关闭后的状态图进行比对；和S4，若间室内有物品增加，则通过所述送风装置提高或开启相应区域冷气供应；若间室内有物品减少，则减少或停止相应区域的冷气供应。
可选地，在所述送风装置处于运行状态下时，判断所述间室内环境平均温度是否小于预设的间室制冷停止温度阈值；若满足，则停止送风装置。
可选地，所述间室内设置有用以对间室内进行照明的照明装置，在S2步骤中获取门体的关闭信息后，先把照明装置打开，然后再驱动摄像装置工作，获取状态图之后，再将照明装置关闭。
可选地，所述送风装置在间室内设置有多个风门，所述间室对应风门形成有若干个储物分区；其中，上述S3步骤具体为：对比时间上相邻的两张状态图，并获得两张状态图中发生变化的储物分区，其中，若储物横跨多个储物分区，则储物占据较大的储物分区判断为发生变化的储物分区。
可选地，上述S4步骤具体为：若该发生变化的储物分区内的储物增加，则通过所述送风装置提高或开启该储物分区的冷气供应；若该发生变化的储物分区内的储物减少，则减少或停止该储物分区的冷气供应。
可选地，所述冰箱设置有用于存储所述状态图的存储装置，获得状态图后即将该状态图存储于存储装置中，并按照时间顺序依次排列，并在获得新的状态图之前，将不需要的且最先存储于存储装置中的状态图删除。
另一方面，本发明提供了一种用于冰箱间室的分区控制装置，其中所述间室内设置有若干个摄像装置，所述冰箱还设置有送风装置，所述送风装置配置成将来自冷源的制冷空气分配至间室的不同位置处；所述分区控制装置包括：门体控制模块，用以获取门体的打开/闭合信息；图像对比模块，用以将摄像装置拍摄的状态图进行对比；和运行模块，驱动所述送风装置运行和停止。
可选地，所述分区控制装置还包括有：温度比较模块，用以将间室内的平均温度与预设的制冷停止温度阈值进行对比。
又一方面，本发明提供了一种冰箱，其配置成采用根据本发明的任一种分区控制方法对所述冰箱的间室进行分区控制。
再一方面，本发明提供了一种冰箱，其包括根据本发明的任一种分区控制装置，以对所述冰箱的间室进行分区控制。
在本发明的各个技术方案中，通过监控门体的开闭，对间室内图像进行拍照，可对比出间室内前后发生的变化，并且当间室内的相应区域有储物有所增加时，则送风装置即向该区域提供制冷空气，可迅速使得该区域降温，从而达到分区制冷控制的效果。
根据下文结合附图对本发明具体实施例的详细描述，本领域技术人员将会更加明了本发明的上述以及其他目的、优点和特征。
附图说明
后文将参照附图以示例性而非限制性的方式详细描述本发明的一些具体实施例。附图中相同的附图标记标示了相同或类似的部件或部分。本领域技术人员应该理解，这些附图未必是按比例绘制的。附图中：
图1为本发明冰箱的结构示意图；
图2为本发明冰箱间室分区控制方法的流程图；
图3为本发明冰箱间室分区控制装置的示意图。
具体实施方式
以下将结合附图所示的各实施方式对本发明进行详细描述。但这些实施方式并不限制本发明，本领域的普通技术人员根据这些实施方式所做出的结构或功能上的变换均包含在本发明的保护范围内。
一方面，本发明的一些实施例提供了一种用于冰箱间室的分区控制方法。如图1所示，所述冰箱包括有壳体1及用于打开或关闭壳体1的门体2，所述间室设置于壳体1内。所述冰箱还包括有用以向间室内提供制冷空气的送风装置4、用以拍摄间室内的状态图的摄像装置3、电性连接所述送风装置4和摄像装置3的控制单元、用于保存状态图的存储装置(未图示)、用于感测间室内温度的温度传感装置(未图示)、及用以对间室内进行照明的照明装置。在本发明的一些实施例中，所述间室被搁板可分隔为若干个储物空间11。
在本发明的一些实施例中，如图1所示，所述摄像装置3安装于门体2上，并设置有多个，且与储物空间11一一对应，用以分别拍摄每一储物空间11的情况。由于存在有分隔板，因此每一摄像装置3只能拍摄与之相对应的储物空间11的情况。
所述送风装置4可包括有风门41，所述风门41与所述储物空间11对应，所述风门41在每一储存空间均设置有若干个且均匀分布。在本发明的一些实施例中，所述风门41设置有三个，且均匀分布。所述储物空间11对应风门41形成有若干个储物分区，即一个风门41对应有一个储物分区。
所述温度传感器可设置于间室内，并用以检测各个储物空间11的温度。 在本发明的一些实施例中，所述温度传感器设置有多个，且分布于各个储物空间11。
另一方面，本发明的一些实例提供了一种用于冰箱间室的分区控制装置。如图3所示，该分区控制装置可包括：门体控制模块310，用以获取门体的打开/关闭信息；图像对比模块320，用以将摄像装置3拍摄的状态图进行对比；运行模块330，用以驱动所述送风装置4运行和停止；以及温度比较模块340，用以将间室内的平均温度和/或各个储物空间11内的温度与预设的制冷停止温度阈值进行对比。所述储物空间11内的温度通过温度传感器获得，则所述间室内的平均温度通过上述各个储物空间11内的温度通过计算得出。
如图2所示，根据本发明一些实施例用于冰箱间室的分区控制方法包括步骤S201-S204。
在步骤S201中，通过门体控制模块获取门体的开闭状态。
在步骤S202中，控制单元在收到门体的打开/关闭信息后，驱动摄像装置3获取门体2关闭后间室内的储物状态图。
当然，由于门体2关闭后，为了节省电力，间室内的照明装置也相应处于关闭状态，因此在摄像装置3拍摄状态图之前，需要将照明装置打开，在摄像装置3拍摄状态图之后，再将照明装置关闭。
在步骤S203中，调取本次门体2打开前间室内的储物的状态图，并与上述门体2关闭后的储物状态图进行比对。获得状态图后即将该状态图存储于所述存储装置中，并按照时间顺序依次排列，并在获得新的状态图之前，将不需要的且最先存储于存储装置中的状态图删除。在本发明的一些实施例中，所述存储装置只需要存储两张状态图，因此，在获得新的第三张状态图之前，需要将第一张状态图删除。因此，在进行比对操作时，需要从存储装置中调取前一次拍摄的储物的状态图。
在步骤S204中，若间室内有物品增加，则通过所述送风装置提高或开启相应区域的冷气供应；若间室内有物品减少，则减少或停止相应区域的冷气供应。
在这些实施例中，由于搁板将间室分隔为若干储物空间11，因此摄像装置3只能拍摄到与之相对应的储物空间11的储物状态图。并且，由于风门41与相应的储物分区一一对应，因此图像对比模块可比对出储物发生变化的 储物分区。其中，若该储物横跨多个储物分区，则储物占据较大的储物分区则判断为发生变化的储物分区。
因此，若该发生变化的储物分区内的储物增加，则通过所述送风装置4提高或开启该储物分区的冷气供应；若储物分区内的储物减少，则通过所述送风装置4减少或停止该储物分区的冷气供应。
并且，由于在这些实施例中是通过风门41对冷气供应进行控制，因此，若该储物分区内的储物增加，则打开风门，或扩大风门使得制冷空气进入的更多；相反的，若该储物分区内的储物减少或拿取完毕，则缩小风门使得制冷空气进入的更少，或直接将风门关闭。
从存储装置中调取上述两张状态图，并通过图像对比模块将摄像装置3拍摄的状态图进行对比，并获得第二张状态图相比第一张状态图中发生变化的储物空间11。在这样的实施例中，由于每个储物空间11均分隔成若干个储物分区，因此，所述图像对比模块可对比出两张状态图中发生变化的储物分区，其中，若有物品增加且该物品放置于横跨多个相邻的分区，则大部分物品所处的储物分区则判断为发生变化的储物分区。
此外，在本发明的一些实施例中，所述分区控制方法还可包括：在所述送风装置处于运行状态下时，判断所述冷藏室内环境平均温度和/或每个所述储物间室的温度是否小于预设的冷藏室制冷停止温度阈值；若小于，则停止送风装置。
因此，通过上述步骤，可通过摄像装置3精确的对比出增加或减少物品的储物空间11，并相应的提供或关闭制冷空气。另外，风门41设置有若干个，则可精确控制每个储物空间11的各个部分。则有物品放入时，该制冷分区即可开启或扩大风门41并迅速制冷，其他没有物品放置的制冷分区则不会制冷，有效节约了能源。
又一方面，本发明的一些实施例提供了一种冰箱(如图1所示)，其配置成采用根据本发明的任一种分区控制方法对所述冰箱的间室进行分区控制。
再一方面，本发明提供了一种冰箱(如图1所示)，其包括根据本发明的任一种分区控制装置，以对所述冰箱的间室进行分区控制。
应当理解，虽然本说明书按照实施方式加以描述，但并非每个实施方式仅包含一个独立的技术方案，说明书的这种叙述方式仅仅是为清楚起见，本 领域技术人员应当将说明书作为一个整体，各实施方式中的技术方案也可以经适当组合，形成本领域技术人员可以理解的其他实施方式。
至此，本领域技术人员应认识到，虽然本文已详尽示出和描述了本发明的多个示例性实施例，但是，在不脱离本发明精神和范围的情况下，仍可根据本发明公开的内容直接确定或推导出符合本发明原理的许多其他变型或修改。因此，本发明的范围应被理解和认定为覆盖了所有这些其他变型或修改。
