Description

The present invention relates to a smart refrigerator, and more particularly to a smart refrigerator that can display foods refrigerated in the refrigerator without opening the door.

Modern households are usually equipped with refrigerators to refrigerate foodstuffs and prevent them from spoiling. When the user wants to check the ingredients stored in the refrigerator, the user cannot see the inside without opening the door, but when the door is opened, the cold air is washed away and the freshness of the ingredients is reduced. Instead, the refrigerator needs to consume additional power to restore the original low temperature.

For this reason, it is necessary to provide a new refrigerator that can display the ingredients refrigerated in the refrigerator without having to open the door.

A main object of the present invention is to provide a smart refrigerator capable of displaying the ingredients refrigerated in the refrigerator without the need to open the door.

In order to achieve the above object, the smart refrigerator of the present invention is electrically connected to a mobile phone, and the smart refrigerator is a main body, at least one vibration sensor, at least one camera, a network card, and a central processing unit. The main body contains at least one door and storage space, at least one vibration sensor is connected to the main body, a camera is installed inside the main body, images of ingredients in the storage space are taken, and a network card is attached to the main body. Installed and electrically connected to the mobile phone, the central processing unit is installed in the main body, and electrically connected to the vibration sensor, camera, network card, the vibration sensor detects that vibration has occurred on the door Then, the network card sends the image taken by the camera to the mobile phone.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the network card receives an image transmission request transmitted from the mobile phone, the network card transmits the image taken by the camera to the mobile phone.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the vibration sensor is installed on the door.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the camera is installed on the door.

It is the schematic of the smart refrigerator and the mobile phone of one Example of this invention. It is the schematic of the image displayed on the mobile phone of one Example of this invention. It is a system block diagram of the smart refrigerator and the mobile phone of one Example of this invention.

Hereinafter, specific examples will be described in order to further deepen the understanding of the technical contents of the present invention.

In the following, the smart refrigerators of one embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 will also be referred to. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a smart refrigerator and a mobile phone according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an image displayed on a mobile phone according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. The system block diagram of the smart refrigerator and the mobile phone is shown respectively.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, in one embodiment of the present invention, the smart refrigerator 1 is used for refrigerating foodstuffs, and the user does not need to open the door and is refrigerated inside the smart refrigerator 1. The ingredients can be displayed on the mobile phone 100 and confirmed by the user. The smart refrigerator 1 is electrically connected to the mobile phone 100 via a network. The mobile phone 100 includes a display 110, and an image can be displayed on the display 110 so that the user can confirm it. The smart refrigerator 1 includes a main body 10, three vibration sensors 20, three cameras 30, a network card 40, and a central processing unit 50.

In one embodiment of the invention, the body 10 is a rectangular shell, including three doors 11 and a storage space 12. The three doors 11 cover the accommodation space 12 to prevent the cold air in the smart refrigerator 1 from leaking to the outside. The storage space 12 is used for storing foodstuffs. However, the number of doors 11 is not limited to three, and can be changed to one or more according to design needs.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the three vibration sensors 20 are connected to the three doors 11 of the main body 10, and each vibration sensor 20 detects whether the connected doors 11 are impacted and generate vibration. Used to do. However, the number of vibration sensors 20 is not limited to three, and can be changed to one or more according to the number of doors 11.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the three cameras 30 are installed in the main body 10 and are installed on the three doors 11, respectively. The camera 30 is used to take an image of the foodstuff in the accommodation space 12, for example, taking an image of the storage state, quantity, and type of the foodstuff stored in the accommodation space 12. However, the number of cameras 30 is not limited to three, and can be changed to one or more according to design needs. The installation position of the camera 30 is not limited to the door 11, and the camera 30 can be installed at any position in the main body 10.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the network card 40 is installed in the main body 10, and the network card 40 is electrically connected to the mobile phone 100. The network card 40 is used to transmit the image taken by the camera 30 to the mobile phone 100, and the user of the mobile phone 100 can confirm the image in the accommodation space 12.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the central processing unit 50 is installed in the main body 10 and is electrically connected to three vibration sensors 20, three cameras 30, and a network card 40. The central processing unit 50 is used to control and coordinate the operations of the three vibration sensors 20, the three cameras 30, and the network card 40.

In one embodiment of the present invention, when any vibration sensor 20 detects that vibration has occurred on the door 11 connected to the vibration sensor 20, the vibration sensor 20 that has detected the vibration centrally processes the vibration signal. It is transmitted to the device 50. The central processing unit 50 controls the camera 30 on the door 11 connected to the vibration sensor 20, and transmits the image of the foodstuff in the accommodation space 12 taken by the camera 30 to the network card 40. Subsequently, the central processing unit 50 controls the network card 40 and transmits the image captured by the camera 30 to the mobile phone 100. As a result, the user can know the storage status of what is stored in the storage space 12 and the quantity and type of foodstuffs by checking the image in the storage space 12 displayed on the display 110 of the mobile phone 100. it can. Therefore, the user does not need to open the door 11 and can know the storage status of the foodstuffs refrigerated in the smart refrigerator 1 and the quantity and type of the foodstuffs.

In addition, the mechanism for controlling the smart refrigerator 1 to transmit an image in the accommodation space 12 is not limited to the above. For example, software for controlling the smart refrigerator 1 is installed in the mobile phone 100, and the software generates an image transmission request. Then, the mobile phone 100 can be made to transmit the image transmission request to the smart refrigerator 1. When the network card 40 receives the image transmission request transmitted from the mobile phone 100, the central processing unit 50 controls the camera 30 to transmit the captured image to the network card 40. Subsequently, the central processing unit 50 controls the network card 40 to transmit the image captured by the camera 30 to the mobile phone 100. As a result, the user can confirm the image of the foodstuff in the accommodation space 12 displayed on the display 110 of the mobile phone 100.

According to the design of the smart refrigerator 1 of the present invention, the user can display and confirm the image of the foodstuff refrigerated in the smart refrigerator 1 on the mobile phone without having to open the door. As a result, it is possible to avoid problems such as the outflow of cold air due to the opening of the door, the decrease in freshness of the food, and the increase in power consumption.

It should be noted that the above is merely an example and is not limited to the embodiment. Therefore, anything that does not deviate from the basic configuration of the present invention is included in the scope of rights claimed by the present invention, and the present invention shall be in accordance with the scope of claims for utility model registration.
