Abstract

The invention relates to a refrigeration device with at least one refrigeration compartment for storing goods to be cooled, having input means for inputting information about the goods to be cooled and a control device for adjusting at least one cooling condition of the refrigeration compartment depending on the input information.

Claims

1. A refrigeration appliance (100) with at least one refrigeration compartment (101) for storing chilled goods, characterized in that the refrigeration appliance comprises an input facility (103) for inputting information about the chilled goods and a control facility (105) for adjusting at least one cooling condition of the refrigeration compartment (101) as a function of the input information.

2. The refrigeration appliance (100) as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the control facility (105) is a temperature control facility.

3. The refrigeration appliance (100) as claimed in claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the control facility (105) is a ventilation control facility.

4. The refrigeration appliance (100) as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that the refrigeration compartment (101) comprises a ventilation channel with a variable ventilation cross section.

5. The refrigeration appliance (100) as claimed in claim 4, characterized in that the ventilation control facility is an actuator for setting the ventilation cross section.

6. The refrigeration appliance (100) as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the control facility (105) is an air humidity control facility.

7. The refrigeration appliance (100) as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the input facility (103) is a touch-sensitive flat screen.

8. The refrigeration appliance (100) as claimed in one of claims 1 to 6, characterized in that the input facility (103) is a projected light control panel.

9. The refrigeration appliance (100) as claimed in one of claims 1 to 6, characterized in that the input facility (103) is a camera for recording an image of the chilled goods.

10. The refrigeration appliance (100) as claimed in claim 9, characterized in that the input facility (103) comprises an image recognition facility for identifying the recorded chilled goods.

11. The refrigeration appliance (100) as claimed in one of claims 1 to 6, characterized in that the input facility (103) is a barcode reader.

12. The refrigeration appliance (100) as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the refrigeration appliance (100) comprises a memory for storing the cooling conditions to be applied.

13. The refrigeration appliance (100) as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the refrigeration appliance (100) comprises a retrieval facility for retrieving cooling conditions for the chilled goods to be stored from a data network.

14. The refrigeration appliance (100) as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the refrigeration appliance (100) comprises a time recording facility for recording a storage start time for the chilled goods.

15. The refrigeration appliance (100) as claimed in claim 14, characterized in that the control facility (105) comprises a time control facility for controlling the cooling conditions as a function of the time that has elapsed since the storage start time.
