Description

Smart refrigerator

The present invention relates to a smart refrigerator, especially a smart refrigerator that can display the ingredients refrigerated in the refrigerator without opening the refrigerator door.

In modern people's homes, refrigerators are usually installed to refrigerate foods and prevent them from spoiling. When the user wants to view the ingredients stored in the refrigerator, the user must open the refrigerator door to view; however, opening the refrigerator door will cause cold air loss, which reduces the freshness of the ingredients, and the refrigerator needs to consume additional power to restore the original Low temperature.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new refrigerator, which can display the ingredients refrigerated in the refrigerator without opening the refrigerator door.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a smart refrigerator that can display the ingredients refrigerated in the refrigerator without opening the refrigerator door.

To achieve the above purpose, a smart refrigerator of the present invention is electrically connected to a mobile phone. The smart refrigerator includes a main body, at least one vibration sensor, at least one camera, a network card, and a central processor. The main body includes at least a refrigerator door and an accommodating space. At least one vibration sensor is connected to the main body. The camera is set in the main body, and the camera shoots an image in the accommodating space. The network card is set on the main body and is electrically connected to the mobile phone. The central processor is installed in the main body and is electrically connected to the vibration sensor, the camera and the network card. When the vibration sensor senses a vibration on the refrigerator door, the network card transmits the image captured by the camera to the mobile phone.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the network card receives an image transmission request sent by the mobile phone, the network card transmits the image captured by the camera to the mobile phone.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the vibration sensor is provided on the refrigerator door.

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

In order to allow your reviewing committee to better understand the technical content of this new model, the following specific preferred embodiments are described below.

In the following, please refer to FIGS. 1 to 3 for a smart refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention. 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 a mobile phone displaying images according to an embodiment of the new model; and Fig. 3 is a system architecture of a smart refrigerator and a mobile phone according to an embodiment of the new model Figure.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, in one embodiment of the present invention, the smart refrigerator 1 is used to refrigerate foods, and the user does not need to open the refrigerator door to allow the smart refrigerator 1 to display the foods refrigerated in Mobile phone 100 for users to watch. The smart refrigerator 1 can be electrically connected to a mobile phone 100 via a network. The mobile phone 100 has a screen 110, The screen 110 is used to play images for users to watch. 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 present invention, the main body 10 is a rectangular parallelepiped housing, which includes three refrigerator doors 11 and a receiving space 12. The three refrigerator doors 11 cover the accommodating space 12 to avoid leakage of cold air in the smart refrigerator 1. The accommodating space 12 is used to store food materials. However, the number of refrigerator doors 11 is not limited to three, and it can be changed to more than one according to design requirements.

In one embodiment of the present invention, three vibration sensors 20 are respectively connected to the three refrigerator doors 11 of the main body 10, and each vibration sensor 20 is used to sense whether the connected refrigerator door 11 is knocked to generate vibration. However, the number of vibration sensors 20 is not limited to three, and it can be changed to more than one according to the number of refrigerator doors 11.

In one embodiment of the present invention, three cameras 30 are installed in the main body 10 and respectively installed on the three refrigerator doors 11. The camera 30 is used to shoot an image in the storage space 12, for example, images of the storage status, quantity, and types of food materials stored in the storage space 12. However, the number of cameras 30 is not limited to three, and it can be changed to more than one according to design requirements. The installation position of the camera 30 is not limited to the refrigerator door 11, and it can be installed at any position in the main body 10.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the network card 40 is provided on 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 captured by the camera 30 to the mobile phone 100 for the user of the mobile phone 100 to view the image in the accommodating space 12.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the central processing unit 50 is disposed on the main body 10 and electrically connects three vibration sensors 20, three cameras 30, and a network card 40. The central processor 50 is used to control and coordinate the operation 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 senses a vibration on the refrigerator door 11 connected to the vibration sensor 20, the vibration sensor 20 that senses the vibration will send a vibration sensing message to Central processor 50. The central processor 50 controls the camera 30 on the refrigerator door 11 connected to the vibration sensor 20, and transmits the image captured by the camera 30 to the network card 40. Then, the central processor 50 controls the network card 40 to transmit the image captured by the camera 30 to the mobile phone 100; in this way, the user can view the image in the accommodation space 12 displayed on the screen 110 of the mobile phone 100, In addition, the storage conditions, the number and types of food materials stored in the storage space 12 are known. Therefore, the user does not need to open the refrigerator door 11 to know the storage status of the foods refrigerated in the smart refrigerator 1, the number and types of the foods.

In addition, the mechanism for controlling the transmission of the images in the storage space 12 by the smart refrigerator 1 is not limited to the above; Send the image transmission request to the smart refrigerator 1. When the network card 40 receives the image transmission request from the mobile phone 100, the central processor 50 controls the camera 30 to transmit the captured image to the network card 40.
