Abstract (en)

A refrigerator light-sensing system capable of saving energy and reducing noise comprising a control main body-refrigerator, a lower door hinge cover arranged at the lower end of the refrigerator, and a light-sensing device installed in the lower door hinge cover, wherein the light-sensing device is electrically connected to the refrigerator through a wireless transmission or a wire connection mode; the light-sensing device is internally provided with a light-sensing element, a power supply module, a controller, a refrigerator refrigeration system and a light intensity storage module; the light-sensing element is connected to the controller through a wireless transmission or a wire; the present invention adopts a light-sensing element to convert the detected light signal into an electrical signal; the electrical signal is transmitted to the controller, and the controller judges the operation mode of the refrigeration system according to the intensity of the converted electrical signal; as the refrigerator isn't used when the user rests, the power consumption can be reduced and the noise can be reduced, achieving a better user experience.
