The China Patent Award was established by the China National Intellectual Property Administration in 1989, and has been selected for 15 times. Since the 11th session in 2009, the selection cycle of the China Patent Award will be changed from once every two years to once every year. Participation in the selection of patent awards requires recommendations from local intellectual property bureaus, letters of recommendation from State Council units or members of the CAS Member/Chinese Academy of Engineering, etc. Units or individuals participating in the selection also need to prepare application forms, project materials, etc.
In summary, this can be considered as choosing a more professional profession. It is an authoritative evaluation of China's technological revolution and innovation. Unlike purely academic awards, the evaluation criteria for the Chinese Patent Award not only emphasize the level of patent technology and innovation of the project, but also emphasize its application in the market transformation process. At the same time, it also puts forward requirements for its protection and management. Therefore, it can be said that it is currently one of the most authoritative awards in academic and commercial applications in China.
It can be seen from this that it is a great challenge to receive recognition from thousands of patents every year. That means that participating in patent applications not only requires academic innovation and uniqueness, but also corresponding advantages in market transformation, subsequent protection, and other aspects. Taking this year's (20th) China Patent Award evaluation as an example, Midea's smart refrigerator has won awards for its technological advantages in "food preservation management" and "food preservation methods". Not only in academia, the recognition of Midea's intelligent technology application patents is also due to their leading sales and consumer reputation, which strongly proves that these majors are ahead of their peers in terms of market transformation.
After saying so much, what is the strength of Midea's patented technology for smart refrigerators?
As is well known, refrigerators are mainly used for storing and preserving food in daily life. With the improvement of people's living standards, the pace of life for urban populations has become faster. However, for many consumers, storing food in refrigerators in their daily lives has encountered many challenges. Firstly, there are too many types of food to know what is inside the refrigerator. Secondly, the food is stored for too long, making it difficult to know if it has expired. Fresh food and perishable food are squeezed together, and the traditional refrigerator's frozen shelf life causes excessive loss of nutrients in the ingredients, Poor taste, coming back from work, cooking enthusiasm being extinguished by long thawing time, and so on
As the most common household appliances in daily life, the above-mentioned refrigerator usage problems have been troubling everyone for a long time and are also problems that the refrigerator industry wants to solve. The development of intelligent technology has provided an innate technological foundation for solving these problems, and it is precisely Midea Microcrystalline Fresh Technology (a patent for refrigerator food preservation management and refrigerator food preservation management methods), which has won the "China Patent Excellence Award", that perfectly solves the above problems.
Visible freshness
The core technology of Midea's smart refrigerator - "Microcrystalline Fresh for a Week" - is equipped with a three-dimensional radar temperature measurement, combined with intelligent cooling based on the reverse freezing law, and core technologies such as "independent microcrystalline chamber, wave shaped three-dimensional air supply duct, top outlet and bottom return air". It achieves the ideal effect of "fresh meat without freezing, fresh meat ready to eat and cut", "long-term preservation for a week, no loss of nutrients", and "original taste and taste" for meat and seafood ingredients. Say goodbye to the history of traditional refrigerators using thick ice cubes to wrap ingredients, and keep them fresh for 168 hours without ice, allowing fresh ingredients to be visible and taste as before.
Manage fresh life
In response to students' doubts and pain points about the shelf life of food, Midea Refrigerator has established a food preservation refrigerator with multiple functional modules inside
Food preservation time database, remaining preservation time database for food, display device, and coordinated operation of multiple functional modules
Categorize and partition the food according to the length of remaining freshness in the refrigerator, dedicated to your health.
Intelligent freshness warning
The refrigerator food preservation management method established by Midea Refrigerator can automatically identify the IP address of the region where the refrigerator is located, and update the original shelf life of the food in the refrigerator according to the environmental conditions and seasonal changes in different regions.
At the same time, through various visual forms such as brightness, background color, signal lights, and Wifi text messages, intelligent food preservation warning is carried out, truly achieving dynamic management of the refrigerator for food before, during, and after the event. Make refrigerators the big steward of food preservation
Leading patents drive industrial upgrading
The patented technology of Midea refrigerator has obvious technological advantages in food classification management, classification preservation, visualization, and warning of remaining food preservation time. Not only does it reduce the harm caused to people's health by expired food, but it also forms a great driving force for the development of smart home appliances in the industry, leading the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, driving the upgrading of product chains, and entering a new era of intelligent preservation.
With patents and innovative technologies at its core, the future Midea intelligent refrigerator can not only completely solve the interference of pesticide residues and bacteria, but may also accelerate the ripening of fruits and vegetables, ferment rice wine, defat whole milk, and even automatically convert grapes into original wine. It allows people to enjoy automatically heated bread and milk every day, bringing nutrition and health to every ingredient and serving every family member.
