The invention also provides a control method of the refrigerator according to any one of the embodiments.

Fig. 4 is a method schematic diagram of an embodiment of a control method of a refrigerator provided by the present invention.

As shown in fig. 4, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the control method includes at least step S110 and step S120.

And step S110, acquiring a set sterilization mode when the sterilization function of the refrigerator is started.

In a specific embodiment, the sterilization mode includes a first sterilization mode, a second sterilization mode, and a third sterilization mode. The sterilization mode may be set by a user. The user can select and set different sterilization modes according to needs. The first sterilization mode specifically comprises: after the sterilizing device is started, the sterilizing device moves in the storage space at a preset moving speed to sterilize the storage space, which can be called a deep sterilization mode; the second sterilization mode specifically comprises the following steps: after the sterilization device is started, the sterilization device moves to the current sterilization position determined according to the position of the food stored in the storage space to sterilize the storage space, which can be called as a common sterilization mode; the third sterilization mode specifically comprises: after the sterilization device is started, the sterilization device moves to a set position in the storage space to sterilize the storage space, which can be called as an accurate sterilization mode.

Optionally, when the sterilization function of the refrigerator is opened, judging whether a refrigerator door of the refrigerator is opened; and under the condition that the refrigerator door is not opened, controlling the sterilization module to move according to the set sterilization mode so as to sterilize the storage space of the refrigerator. Optionally, if the refrigerator door is judged to be opened, a prompt is made, for example, a user is prompted to close the refrigerator door.

And step S120, controlling the sterilization module to move according to the set sterilization mode so as to sterilize the storage space of the refrigerator.

In one embodiment, a guide rail 2 is provided in the storage space, and the sterilization device 1 is arranged on the guide rail 2 and can be moved in the storage space by means of the guide rail. Under the condition that the sterilization modes comprise a first sterilization mode, a second sterilization mode and a third sterilization mode, when the set sterilization mode is the first sterilization mode, controlling the sterilization device to be started and move in the storage space at a preset moving speed; when the set sterilization mode is a second sterilization mode, determining the current sterilization position according to the position of the food stored in the storage space; controlling the sterilization device to be started and moving to the sterilization position; and when the set sterilization mode is a third sterilization mode, controlling the sterilization device to be started and moving to a set position in the storage space.

Alternatively, the set position may be set by a user. Specifically, the positions of different foods in the storage space of the refrigerator are acquired, and the positions of the different foods are prompted, so that a user can select an accurate sterilization position according to the prompt. For example, the positions of different foods in the storage space can be obtained by a positioner, and the positioner feeds back the position information of the foods to the control system, so that the user can select the position to be sterilized from the positions.

In one embodiment, the distance between the sterilizing device and each food item in the storage space is identified by a locator; obtaining an average value of distances between the sterilizing device and each food in the storage space; and correcting the position of the sterilizing device according to the average value, so that the sterilizing device moves to a position where the absolute value of the deviation value between the distance from each food and the average value is smaller than a preset deviation threshold value.

For example, the distances between the sterilization apparatus and each food item are D1 and D2 … … Dn, respectively, and the sterilization apparatus is moved to an optimal sterilization position where the distance from the sterilization apparatus to each food item is closest to the average value D by averaging D1 and D2 … … Dn, where D is (D1+ D2 … … Dn)/n and correcting the position of the sterilization apparatus according to the difference between D1, D2 … … Dn and D.

For example, when the user selects a deep sterilization mode (first sterilization mode), the sterilization apparatus is controlled to continuously move on the guide rail 2 at a preset moving speed, and the moving and sterilization work are simultaneously performed, thereby achieving deep sterilization of the storage space. When the user selects the common sterilization mode (second sterilization mode), the sterilization optimal position is calculated according to the position information of the food fed back by the positioner, and the sterilization module is controlled to move to the optimal sterilization position for sterilization. In particular, the sterilization device may be driven to move to an optimal sterilization position by controlling a transmission of the sterilization device. When the user selects the precise sterilization mode (third sterilization mode), the user is prompted to select a location (i.e., a set location) where sterilization is required and to prompt the location of food in the refrigerating chamber of the refrigerator, and the sterilization module is controlled to move to the user-selected location according to the user-selected location. In particular, the movement of the sterilisation apparatus to a user selected position may be driven by controlling an actuator of said sterilisation apparatus.

Optionally, a sterilizing material releasing window 5 is arranged on the sterilizing device, and at least one fan 4 is installed around the sterilizing material releasing window 5; and when the set sterilization mode is a second sterilization mode, controlling the at least one fan installed around the sterilizing substance release window to be turned on. For example, the sterilization position is plasma, and the plasma emitted from the sterilization device is diffused by the fan to sterilize the food and the surroundings thereof.

Further the method further comprises: when the sterilization device works, judging whether the working time of the sterilization device reaches a preset time or not; and if the working time reaches the preset time, controlling the sterilization device to stop working.

Specifically, when the sterilization device works, whether the working time (namely, the sterilization time) reaches the preset time T or not is judged in real time, when the sterilization time is more than or equal to T, the sterilization device stops working, the user can be prompted to finish sterilization, when the sterilization time is less than T, the sterilization device continues to work, and when the sterilization time is more than or equal to T, the sterilization device stops working.

The corresponding preset time T of different sterilization modes is different, and in the first sterilization mode, the corresponding preset time is first preset time; in the second sterilization mode, the corresponding preset time is a second preset time; in the third sterilization mode, the corresponding preset time is a third preset time; the first preset time is longer than the second preset time, and the second preset time is longer than the third preset time.

For example, in the deep sterilization mode, T is 40min, when the sterilization apparatus is operating, the sterilization apparatus moves on the guide rail at a constant speed of 4mm/s, the length of the rail is 4.8m, and the operating time of one complete sterilization program is 40min (the sterilization apparatus moves on the rail twice). After moving to the tail end of the track, the sterilizing device automatically moves in the opposite direction. In the ordinary sterilization mode, T is 20min, the sterilization device works for 20min at the optimal sterilization position, and plasma released by the sterilization device is diffused under the action of the fan to sterilize the food and the periphery of the food. In the precise sterilization mode, T is 10min, the sterilization device works for 10min at the position selected by the user, and fixed-point sterilization is completed.

Based on the above embodiment, the control method further includes: when the sterilizing device works, judging whether a refrigerator door of the refrigerator is opened or not; and if the refrigerator door is judged to be opened, controlling the sterilizing device to stop working.

Specifically, the sterilization device during operation judges whether the refrigerator door is opened in real time, and if the refrigerator door is opened, the sterilization device stops working, and the timing of the working time of the sterilization device is paused at the same time, and the user is prompted to close the door. After the user closes the refrigerator door, the sterilization device continues to work, and the working time of the sterilization device continues to be timed. In one embodiment, the door sensor can be used to determine whether the refrigerator door is open or closed. When the refrigerator door is not closed, the sterilization effect of the sterilization module is affected, and bacteria in the air continuously enter the refrigerator, so the refrigerator door needs to be sterilized when being closed.

In order to clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, an execution flow of the control method of the refrigerator according to the present invention is described below with an embodiment.

Fig. 5 is a method schematic diagram of an embodiment of a control method of a refrigerator according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 5, when the user selects to open the sterilization function, first, the door sensor determines the state of the refrigerator door, and if the refrigerator door is in an open state, the sterilization is stopped, and the user is prompted to close the refrigerator door. If the door of the refrigerator is in a closed state, the positioner operates to recognize the position of food in the refrigerating chamber of the refrigerator. The user can select different sterilization modes according to the needs. When the user selects the deep sterilization mode (first sterilization mode), the control system controls the sterilization module to continuously move on the track, and the moving and the sterilization work are simultaneously carried out. When the user selects the common sterilization mode (the second sterilization mode), the optimal sterilization position is calculated according to the food position information fed back by the positioner, and the transmission device is controlled to drive the sterilization module to move to the optimal sterilization position. When the user selects the accurate sterilization mode (third sterilization mode), the user is prompted to select a position needing sterilization, the position of food in the refrigerating chamber of the refrigerator is prompted, the transmission device is controlled according to the position selected by the user, and the sterilization module is driven to move to the position selected by the user. The sterilization module is used for judging whether the refrigerator door is closed or not in real time when the sterilization module works, and if not, the sterilization module stops working, and simultaneously times temporarily and prompts a user to close the door. After the user closes the refrigerator door, the sterilization module continues to work and continues to time. When the sterilization module works, whether the sterilization time is more than or equal to T is judged in real time, when the sterilization time is more than or equal to T, the sterilization module stops working to prompt a user that sterilization is finished, and when the sterilization time is less than T, the sterilization module continues working until the sterilization time is more than or equal to T.

The present invention also provides a storage medium corresponding to the control method of the refrigerator, on which a computer program is stored, which when executed by a processor implements the steps of any of the methods described above.
