The modified atmosphere preservation system adopts the modified atmosphere film 36 to form a gas atmosphere meeting the storage requirements of articles in the preservation storage cavity 51. The air-conditioning membrane 36 (also called an oxygen-enriched membrane) works by utilizing the difference in permeation rate of each component in the air when the components in the air pass through the air-conditioning membrane 36, and making the oxygen in the air pass through the air-conditioning membrane 36 preferentially under the driving of pressure difference. In the embodiment of the present application, the storage device uses the air-conditioning film 36 to exhaust oxygen, so that the oxygen concentration in the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51 is reduced, and a gas atmosphere beneficial to food preservation is realized.

The refrigerator 100 generally includes a cabinet 20, a door (not shown), and a refrigerating system (not shown). The interior of the case 20 defines a storage compartment which may be configured as a refrigerating compartment 27, a freezing compartment 25, a temperature changing compartment 26, etc. according to a refrigerating temperature. The refrigeration system may be a conventional compression refrigeration system that provides refrigeration to the storage compartment, for example, in the form of direct cooling and/or air cooling, to provide the storage compartment with a desired storage temperature. In some embodiments, the storage temperature of the refrigerator compartment 27 may be 2-9 ℃, or may be 4-7 ℃; the preservation temperature of the freezing chamber 25 may be-22 to-14 deg.c, or may be-20 to 16 deg.c. The freezing chamber 25 is disposed below the refrigerating chamber 27, and the temperature changing chamber 26 is disposed between the freezing chamber 25 and the refrigerating chamber 27.

The evaporator is configured to provide cooling directly or indirectly into the storage space.
The modified atmosphere membrane assembly 30 has a modified atmosphere membrane 36 and defines an oxygen-enriched gas collection chamber into which ambient gas (most of the oxygen) passes through the modified atmosphere membrane 36 when the pressure of the oxygen-enriched gas collection chamber is less than the pressure of the ambient. Specifically, the other side of the air-conditioning film 36 may be directly contacted with the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51, or may be contacted with a circulation flow channel (or a circulation space) connected to the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51, so that when the pressure of the oxygen-enriched gas collection cavity is smaller than that of the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51, the air in the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51 enters the oxygen-enriched gas collection cavity through the air-conditioning film 36, and under the condition of using the oxygen-enriched film, the oxygen in the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51 is extracted, so that the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51 forms an oxygen-depleted gas atmosphere.

The air pump 40 is configured to pump out the oxygen-enriched gas in the oxygen-enriched gas collection chamber, reduce the oxygen concentration in the fresh-keeping storage chamber 51, and further obtain a nitrogen-enriched and oxygen-depleted gas atmosphere in the fresh-keeping storage chamber 51 to facilitate food fresh-keeping. By disposing the air pump 40 in the press housing 24, the space of the press housing 24 can be fully utilized, and no additional space is occupied, so that the additional volume of the refrigerator 100 is not increased, and the refrigerator 100 can be made compact.

That is, the structure of the switching mechanism 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention simplifies the control of the switching mechanism 200 and the air pump 40 to the operation of the air pump 40, i.e. the air pump 40 pumps air from the second pipeline 201 while the first channel 11 is opened and the second channel 12 is closed so that the fan 90 can achieve auxiliary oxygen reduction, and the air pump 40 does not pump air from the second pipeline 201 while the first channel 11 is closed and the second channel 12 is opened so that the fan 90 can achieve dehumidification. The second line 201 may be configured in parallel with the first line 50 while being independently controlled. Meanwhile, the control method of the storage device in the embodiment of the invention can be simplified to control the on/off of the air pump 40 and the fan 90 based on the storage humidity range, the storage oxygen concentration range, the humidity of the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51, the oxygen concentration of the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51 and the normal oxygen concentration, and only two component shells need to be controlled to realize the accurate control of the fresh-keeping environment of the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51.

In some embodiments, the step of determining a range of storage humidity and a range of storage oxygen concentration required to preserve the items placed within the storage cavity comprises:
acquiring triggering operation of placing articles into a fresh-keeping storage cavity by a user;
acquiring article information and displaying a display interface comprising a pre-judging article type selection window;
receiving a selection operation of a user on a display interface to obtain a determined article type;
and determining a storage humidity range and a storage oxygen concentration range corresponding to the object types according to a preset mapping relation, wherein the mapping relation prescribes the storage humidity range and the storage oxygen concentration range corresponding to the object types.
The triggering operation of the user to put the articles into the fresh storage cavity 51 can be obtained through keys provided on the refrigerator 100 or the fresh box 60. In other embodiments, the presence or absence of an item may also be determined by detecting a change in weight within the fresh storage cavity 51. For example, a weight sensor may be provided at the bottom of the drawer 63, and whether or not the article is placed in the fresh storage compartment 51 may be determined by the value detected by the weight sensor. As shown in fig. 11, the storage device further includes a trigger detection unit 305, and the trigger detection unit 305 may be, for example, a weight sensor.
A display screen having a display interface 306 for a user to view may be previously provided on the door body of the refrigerator 100. By acquiring the item information and displaying the pre-determined item type selection window using the display interface 306, the user can compare the acquired item information with the item type in the pre-determined item type selection window, and further can confirm the item type. The item information may be, for example, an image, composition, etc. of the item. Considering that image acquisition and recognition techniques are easier to implement than composition acquisition and recognition, it is preferable that the item information is an image of the item. At this time, the storage device further includes an image acquisition unit 304, such as a camera. In some embodiments, the step of obtaining item information and displaying a display interface containing a pre-determined item category selection window comprises: acquiring an image of an article to obtain a first image; a display interface 306 is displayed containing the first image and a pre-determined item category selection window. The image library of the plurality of article images may be stored in advance, and article type information may be set in advance for the article images. In order to make the image recognition more accurate, a plurality of article images, that is, a plurality of article images corresponding to one article type information, may be stored in the image library for each article. The first image obtained by the image obtaining unit 304 is compared with the object images in the image library to obtain one or more most probable object images, one or more object type information (for example, the names of the objects) are correspondingly obtained, and the object type information is displayed on the display interface 306 to form a pre-judging object type selection window.
The article type may be determined by detecting a touch operation applied to different article type information at different positions on the predetermined article type selection window. For example, images of spinach, cabbage, lettuce, coconut, bread and milk powder are stored in the image library in advance, spinach is put into the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51, the image acquisition unit 304 obtains a first image, after the first image is compared with the image library, a first image and a pre-judging article type selection window containing words of spinach, cabbage and lettuce are displayed in the display interface 306, and a user touches a spinach button to determine that the article type is spinach.

The storage humidity range and the storage oxygen concentration range are respectively set in one-to-one correspondence for each article type, so that the environmental control in the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51 can be more accurate. The storage humidity range generally has an upper storage humidity limit and a lower storage humidity limit, and may be a point value in a special case. The stored oxygen concentration range generally has an upper stored oxygen concentration value and a lower stored oxygen concentration value, and may be a point value in a special case.

Fig. 10 is a detailed flowchart of a control method of the storage device shown in fig. 1. The control method of the storage device provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps:
s202: the triggering operation of the user to place the article into the fresh storage cavity 51 is obtained.
S204: acquire item information and display a display interface 306 containing a pre-determined item category selection window.
S206: a user selection operation of the display interface 306 is received to obtain the determined item type.
S208: and determining a storage humidity range and a storage oxygen concentration range corresponding to the object types according to a preset mapping relation, wherein the mapping relation prescribes the storage humidity range and the storage oxygen concentration range corresponding to the object types.
S210: the humidity and oxygen concentration in the fresh storage compartment 51 is obtained.
S212: judging whether the stored oxygen concentration range is smaller than the normal oxygen concentration; if yes, go to step S214; if not, go to step S220.
S214: if the judgment result of the step S212 is yes, judging whether the humidity of the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51 is greater than the storage humidity range; if yes, go to step S216; if not, go to step S218.
S216: if the determination result in step S214 is yes, the suction pump 40 is controlled not to operate, the second channel 12 is opened, the first channel 11 is closed, and the fan 90 is operated.
S218: if the determination result in step S214 is no, the operation of the suction pump 40 is controlled, the second passage 12 is closed, the first passage 11 is opened, and the fan 90 is operated.
S220: if the judgment result in the step S212 is no, judging whether the oxygen concentration in the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51 is less than the stored oxygen concentration range; if yes, go to step S222; if not, go to step S224.

S226: if the determination result in step S220 is no, the suction pump 40 is controlled not to operate, and the blower 90 is not operated.
Step S212 to step S226 describe in detail the process of controlling the on/off of the pump 40, the blower 90 based on the stored humidity range, the stored oxygen concentration range, the humidity of the fresh storage compartment 51, the oxygen concentration of the fresh storage compartment 51, and the normal oxygen concentration. The control method implemented in the order of steps S212 to S226 is smoother and the control is simpler. When the stored oxygen concentration range is smaller than the normal oxygen concentration, that is, the stored oxygen concentration upper limit value is smaller than the normal oxygen concentration, which means that the articles need to be stored in the low-oxygen environment, only the humidity of the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51 needs to be judged again, and whether the humidity of the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51 meets the stored humidity range needs to be judged, and the current oxygen concentration of the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51 does not need to be judged, because no matter whether the current oxygen concentration of the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51 is normal or low-oxygen, the operation of the air pump 40 and the operation of the fan 90 need to be controlled, so that the air conditioner fresh-keeping system is assisted by the fan 90 to reduce oxygen so as to maintain the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51 in the low-oxygen environment. When the stored oxygen concentration range is not less than the normal oxygen concentration, i.e. the stored oxygen concentration range includes the normal oxygen concentration or the stored oxygen concentration range is the normal oxygen concentration, which means that the article can be stored in the normal air/oxygen concentration environment, the oxygen concentration of the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51 needs to be controlled at the normal oxygen concentration first, and then the humidity control is considered.
The control method of the storage device of the embodiment of the invention further comprises the following steps:
after the preset duration, acquiring the image of the object again to obtain a second image;
comparing the second image with the first image;
and reminding a user to adjust the control when the difference characteristics of the second image and the first image exceed the preset difference range.
After running for a while according to step S216, step S218 or step S226, an image of the article is acquired again to check the control effect. The differential characteristics of the second image and the first image may be represented, for example, as gloss, shape, dispersibility, etc., and may be set according to different characteristics of the article. The preset difference range may be set after comprehensively evaluating the difference characteristics of the second image and the first image before and after the storage of the article for a preset period of time in advance with the acceptable storage humidity and the acceptable oxygen concentration. For example, for spinach, the difference characteristic may include color, gloss, leaf size, and the predetermined difference range may be set such that at least two of the color, gloss, leaf size have a small difference, e.g., a small difference in leaf size of spinach may be considered to be within 1.2-1.5 square centimeters of size.
The following describes a storage device and control thereof according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to fig. 1 to 8.
With continued reference to fig. 1, a device receiving cavity 52 is also defined within the fresh box 60 of the present embodiment; the fan 90 and the air-conditioning film assembly 30 are arranged in the device accommodating cavity 52 at intervals, and the air-conditioning film assembly 30 is communicated with the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51.

The fan 90 is preferably a centrifugal fan.
The fresh keeping box 60 of the embodiment of the invention is provided with a top cover plate 61, a middle partition plate 62 and a drawer part 63 which are arranged in sequence; the top cover 61 and the middle partition 62 define a device receiving chamber 52 therebetween, and the middle partition 62 and the drawer 63 define a fresh storage chamber 51 therebetween. According to the storage device provided by the embodiment of the invention, the fresh-keeping box 60 is provided with the top cover plate 61, the middle partition plate 62 and the drawer 63, the device accommodating cavity 52 is defined between the top cover plate 61 and the middle partition plate 62, the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51 is defined between the middle partition plate 62 and the drawer 63, the whole structure of the fresh-keeping box 60 is compact, and the influence of the fan 90 on the storage volume of the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51 and the refrigerator 100 is effectively reduced. The specific structure of the drawer 63 of the fresh box 60 and the mating structure between the drawer 63 and the middle partition 62 according to the embodiment of the present invention can be set as required. For example, in some examples, drawer 63 may be a bucket-like structure having a bottom wall panel and four side wall panels, front, back, left, right, open at the top and sealed to middle barrier 62, and may be drawn back and forth to access items within fresh storage compartment 51, etc. At this time, the middle partition 62 may be a top wall of the outer cylinder as the drawer 63, and the drawer 63 may be drawn back and forth with respect to the outer cylinder. For another example, in other examples, the drawer 63 may have a structure with a bottom wall plate and left and right rear side wall plates, the front opening of the drawer 63, the middle partition 62 and the drawer 63 may be integrally formed, and a pivot door is provided at the opening, where the drawer 63 is not drawn, and the articles are taken and placed into the fresh storage cavity 51 through the front opening. In this case, the drawer 63 may be formed by directly using the liner of the storage compartment.
The middle partition plate 62 of the preservation box 60 of the embodiment of the invention is provided with a first vent hole 71 and a second vent hole 72, and the first vent hole 71 and the second vent hole 72 are arranged at intervals; wherein the inlet of the blower 90 is abutted to the first vent hole 71, and the air-conditioning membrane assembly 30 is disposed above the second vent hole 72, so that the gas in the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51 enters the device accommodating cavity 52 through the first vent hole 71, and the gas in the device accommodating cavity 52 enters the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51 through the second vent hole 72, thereby forming an air flow passing through the air-conditioning membrane assembly 30. By providing the first vent hole 71 and the second vent hole 72, and respectively corresponding to the blower 90 and the air conditioning film assembly 30 above them, the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51 and the air conditioning film assembly 52 can be caused to flow, specifically, an air flow path can be formed which sequentially passes through the first vent hole 71, the first channel 11 and the second vent hole 72 and returns to the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51, that is, the blower 90 causes the air of the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51 to enter the device accommodating cavity 52 through the first vent hole 71, and causes the air in the device accommodating cavity 52 to enter the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51 through the second vent hole 72, thereby forming an air flow through the air conditioning film assembly 30. The first vent hole 71 may be small holes, and the number may be plural. The second ventilation holes 72 may be small holes, and may be plural in number.
The air conditioning membrane assembly 30 may be a flat-plate oxygen-enriched membrane assembly. Fig. 8 is an exploded schematic view of the modified atmosphere membrane module 30 of the storage device shown in fig. 1. The air conditioning membrane assembly 30 is in the form of a flat plate, and the air conditioning membrane assembly 30 further includes a support frame 32. The support frame 32 has a first surface and a second surface parallel to each other, is formed with a plurality of gas flow channels extending over the first surface and the second surface, respectively, and extending through the support frame 32 to communicate the first surface with the second surface, the plurality of gas flow channels collectively forming an oxygen-enriched gas collection chamber. The modified atmosphere membrane 36 may be two layers, one on each side of the support frame 32, to enclose the oxygen-enriched gas collection chamber. The support frame 32 further includes a gas extraction aperture 33 in communication with the plurality of gas flow channels and positioned on the rim to allow oxygen in the oxygen enriched gas collection chamber to be output. The suction hole 33 communicates with the suction pump 40. The air-conditioning film 36 can be mounted on the frame through the double faced adhesive tape 34, and then sealed through the sealant 35. When the air pump 40 is operated, the oxygen-enriched gas collecting cavity is in a negative pressure state, and oxygen in the air outside the air conditioning membrane assembly 30 continuously passes through the air conditioning membrane 36 to enter the oxygen-enriched gas collecting cavity.
The top cover plate 61 of the preservation box 60 of the embodiment of the invention is provided with a third vent hole 73. The fresh-keeping box 60 of the embodiment of the invention further comprises a diversion block 64 arranged between the top cover plate 61 and the middle partition plate 62, wherein a first opening 81 is formed in the side wall part of the diversion block 64, and a second opening 82 is formed in the top wall part; a second channel 12 is arranged between the outlet of the fan 90 and the first opening 81, and the second opening 82 is abutted with the third air vent 73. By providing the guide block 64, the air flow path of the blower 90 during dehumidification can be clearer, and the dehumidification process is smoother. The guide block 64 may have a cylindrical structure having only upper and lower through-holes of the side wall portions, and the guide block 64 may have a height such that a lower bottom surface abuts against an upper surface of the middle partition plate 62 and an upper top surface abuts against a lower surface of the top cover plate 61. As described above, the fresh box 60 may be disposed in the storage compartment of the refrigerator 100, and the third vent 73 is preferably formed in the top cover 61 adjacent to the air return opening 22 of the storage compartment, so that the air drawn out of the fresh box 60 by the blower 90 flows into the air return opening 22. By opening the third air vent 73 in the area of the top cover plate 61 adjacent to the air return opening 22 of the storage compartment, the moisture in the fresh-keeping storage cavity 51 pumped out by the fan 90 can flow out of the storage compartment through the air return opening 22, so that the moisture can be more effectively discharged, and meanwhile, the influence of dehumidification of the fresh-keeping box 60 on the humidity of the storage compartment can be reduced, thereby being more beneficial to the control of the humidity of the storage compartment and the storage of other objects in the storage compartment. As shown in fig. 1, the refrigerating chamber 27 has a return air hole 22 formed in the lower portion of the rear wall of the liner, and a third vent hole 73 is formed in the rear region of the top cover 61. The third vent 73 is preferably a larger hole, and may be one in number.
As shown in fig. 5 to 7, a damper 65 is disposed in the guide block 64 for opening and closing the air flow path between the first opening 81 and the second opening 82. In some embodiments, the guide block 64 of the embodiment of the present invention is provided with an inclined support plate 66, the inclined support plate 66 extends obliquely downward from the top surface of the guide block 64 near the first opening 81 to the bottom surface of the guide block 64 far from the first opening 81, and the inclined support plate 66 is provided with a third opening 83; the damper 65 is disposed above the inclined support plate 66 such that when the fan 90 is turned on and the outlet is in communication with the second passage 12, the damper 65 rotates upward to open the third opening 83 and thus the airflow path between the first opening 81 and the second opening 82. The damper 65 falls to block the third opening 83 when the blower 90 is turned off, thereby closing the airflow path between the first opening 81 to the second opening 82. By arranging the inclined support plate 66 and arranging the air door 65 above the inclined support plate 66, when the fan 90 runs and the outlet is communicated with the second channel 12, the air door 65 is conveniently lifted upwards under the stress, so that the first opening 81 and the second opening 82 are communicated, and moisture is pumped out by the fan 90 through the first vent hole 71 and then flows through the guide block 64 to the third vent hole 73 to be discharged; while when the blower 90 is shut off, the damper 65 will freely fall down to the inclined support plate 66, thereby sealing the device receiving chamber 52.
As shown in fig. 5 to 7, the first channel 11 includes a first air channel wall 101 and a second air channel wall 102, the second channel 12 includes a third air channel wall 103 and a fourth air channel wall 104, wherein one ends of the first air channel wall 101 and the second air channel wall 102 are adjacent to two ends of one side of the air conditioning membrane assembly 30, which is close to the fan 90, respectively, one ends of the third air channel wall 103 and the fourth air channel wall 104 are fixed to two sides of the first opening 81, one ends of the first air channel wall and the fourth air channel wall 104 are fixed to two sides of an outlet of the fan 90, respectively, and the other ends of the second air channel wall 102 and the third air channel wall 103 are connected; and the second pipeline 201 passes through the second air duct wall 102 or the third air duct wall 103, so that the elastic sheet 203 rotates in the horizontal plane to realize the adjustment of the on-off state between the outlet of the fan 90 and the first channel 11 and the second channel 12. By including the first channel 11 with the first channel wall 101 and the second channel wall 102, the second channel 12 includes the third channel wall 103 and the fourth channel wall 104, and the second channel wall 102 and the third channel wall 103 have one end connected, the first channel 11 and the second channel 12 can be conveniently defined between the blower 90, the air conditioning membrane assembly 30 and the flow guiding block 64, and a sufficient intersecting area is provided for the arrangement of the elastic sheet 203, so that the matching structure of the switching mechanism 200 and the blower 90, the first channel 11 and the second channel 12 is easier to realize. The fan 90 of the embodiment of the present invention may be a centrifugal fan, including a centrifugal fan and a volute, and the flow guiding block 64 is disposed between the air conditioning membrane assembly 30 and the volute. In fig. 6, the suction pump 40 is operated to suck air from the second pipe 201, the air bag 202 is contracted, the elastic piece 203 is rotated toward the second passage 12, the first passage 11 is opened, and the second passage 12 is closed.

In addition, in order to make the movement of the elastic sheet 203 more powerful, a spring structure (not shown in the figure) with proper elastic deformation may be further provided between the second pipeline 201 and the third air duct wall 103, so that when the air bag 202 recovers deformation, the spring also recovers deformation to urge the elastic sheet 203 to move toward the first channel 11. As shown in fig. 7, a limiting portion 110 may be formed on the first air duct wall 101 to limit the movement of the elastic sheet 203 toward the first channel 11, and at the same time, ensure that the elastic sheet 203 seals the first channel 11 completely.
