The electric formation that it is the refrigerator main body 11 at center that Fig. 6 roughly represents with above-mentioned control device 48.To the signal of these control device 48 inputs from above-mentioned refrigerator temperature sensor 25, freezer temperature sensor 26 and switching room temperature sensor 27, and input is from the signal of defrosting sensor 58, and input is from the signal of the external temperature sensor 59 that detects box outside temperature (environment temperature).In addition, as shown in Figure 7, above-mentioned defrosting sensor 58 is attached to refrigerating chamber with near the accumulator 45 the cooler 32.
And, this control device 48, according to the operation control program of storing in advance, and according to these input signals, control above-mentioned compressor 40, transfer valve 43, refrigeration Air Blast fan 31, freezing with Air Blast fan 33, cooling fan 42, Defrost heater 34 and windscreen motor 53 etc.
At this moment, control device 48, formation by this software, and by switching above-mentioned transfer valve 43, exchange ground switches refrigerating chamber refrigerating mode and refrigerating chamber refrigerating mode, and carries out the cooling operation, and, alternatively refrigerated compartment 13 (and vegetable compartment 15) and refrigerating chamber 16 (and ice-making compartment 14), and the temperature maintenance that each chamber 13~16 is interior is near design temperature.And control device 48 is for switching chamber 17 according to selected temperature band with switch the detected temperatures of room temperature sensor 27, control windshield device 37 (switching of the baffle plate 50 of windscreen motor 53), and with inner sustain at the design temperature band.
At this moment, control device 48 is respectively to refrigerating chamber 13 and refrigerating chamber 16, design temperature (target) is set the unlatching temperature of set point of temperature amplitude and turn-offed temperature, basically constitute, according to detected temperatures of above-mentioned refrigerator temperature sensor 25 and freezer temperature sensor 26 etc., come transfer valve 43 is switched.
Specifically, for example will open temperature for refrigerating chamber 13 and be set at 5 ℃, will turn-off temperature and be set at 2 ℃, for example will open temperature for refrigerating chamber 16 and be set at-18 ℃, will turn-off temperature and be set at-21 ℃.And, condition as switch mode is one of following situation: the detected temperatures of (1) chamber in cooling reaches when turn-offing temperature, (2) rise to when opening temperature in the detected temperatures of switching and chamber the non-cooling above through certain hour (for example 10 minutes) from the pattern of last time, (3) were when (for example 60 minutes) had been passed through the stipulated time in the pattern switching since last time.Detected temperatures both sides two chambers turn-off temperature when following, turn-off compressor 40 (stopping the cooling operation).
And, at this moment, above-mentioned refrigeration Air Blast fan 31, (refrigerating chamber refrigerating mode) is unlocked when refrigerating chamber flows into refrigerants with cooler 30, in addition when carrying out the refrigerating chamber refrigerating mode, also be unlocked, and the frosting (moistening operation) of cooler 30 of control refrigerating chamber.And, freezing with Air Blast fan 33, when flowing into refrigerant with cooler 32, refrigerating chamber is unlocked, in addition when carrying out the refrigerating chamber refrigerating mode, also be unlocked.By this control, even it is when carrying out the refrigerating chamber refrigerating mode, refrigerating chamber also is in enough low temperature with the surface temperature of cooler 32, therefore freezing with Air Blast fan 33 by driving, can supply with cold wind to refrigerating chamber 16 and ice-making compartment 14 (not shown ice-making disc), help the cooling of uniform temperature.Above-mentioned cooling fan 42 is opened when compressor 40 is driven.
And whenever the aggregate-value of time of implementation of refrigerating chamber refrigerating mode reaches the stipulated time (for example 10 hours), control device 48 is carried out Defrost operations.And, in the present embodiment, before Defrost operation, carry out pre-cold operation.This pre-cold operation carries out as follows, at first be transformed into low temperature side for example under 3 ℃ the state at design temperature with refrigerating chamber 16,14, with high revolution continuously drive compression machine 40 carry out the refrigerating chamber refrigerating mode, cool off refrigerating chamber 16 etc. forcibly, switch to the refrigerating chamber refrigerating mode afterwards and force refrigerated compartment 13.
Above-mentioned Defrost operation under the state that has stopped compressor 40 and each fan 31,33,42, undertaken by above-mentioned Defrost heater 34 is switched on, and the temperature that detects more than the set point of temperature (for example 8 ℃) based on defrosting sensor 58 finishes.In addition, when this Defrost operation, the baffle plate 50 of above-mentioned windshield device 37 is a closed state.And, as mentioned above, for refrigerating chamber cooler 30, owing to almost there is not frosting, therefore do not need to melt frost, but, heater and the defrosting sensor and the heating similarly of defrosting can be set also for this refrigerating chamber cooler 30 parts by special heating.
But, when above-mentioned Defrost operation, defrosting heater switched on carries out Defrost operation.In this Defrost operation melt with the frost on the cooler 32 because the heat by defrosting heater 34 can make attached to refrigerating chamber, therefore refrigerating chamber with in the cooler 29 with pipeline 36 in, be full of humid air than higher temperatures.And, after Defrost operation finishes, when the baffle plate 50 of open above-mentioned windshield device 37, partly become low temperature as the medial surface 52a of shell 52, then how wet air may contact and produce dewfall with this medial surface 52a to high temperature.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, as also illustrating in the Action Specification (process description) of back, above-mentioned control device 48, for the on-off action of the baffle plate 50 of above-mentioned windshield device 37 (to the control of the circulation of the cold air that switches chamber 17), control is to the energising of windscreen motor 53, in addition, beyond when the on-off action of above-mentioned baffle plate 50, the energising of following the spontaneous heating of the on-off action of this baffle plate 50 to use to above-mentioned windscreen motor 53.Therefore, control device 48 works as the energising control module.
More particularly, in the present embodiment, when carrying out the energising that spontaneous heating uses, every certain hour of crossing alternatively switches to the energising of the A of windscreen motor 53 phase coil 56 with to the energising of B phase coil 57.At this moment, with make the identical "on" position of the last powered-on mode of last time during baffle plate 50 on-off actions under, can be to terminal A, the A ' of A phase coil 56 and terminal B, B ' the stream direct current of B phase coil 57.For example, the last "on" position when having carried out last time baffle plate 50 sealing action be that to 56 energisings of A phase coil, making terminal A is "-" for "+", terminal A ' under the situation of the rightest pattern of Fig. 5 (b).57 energisings make terminal B be "+" for "-", terminal B ' to the B phase coil.
And, in the present embodiment, as the moment of carrying out the energising that above-mentioned spontaneous heating uses, when pre-cold operation, begin energising that the spontaneous heating of above-mentioned windscreen motor 53 is used, and in Defrost operation, continue energising, after Defrost operation finishes, when returning common cooling operation, the energising that end is used the spontaneous heating of windscreen motor 53, and return common on-off action control.
Below, the effect of above-mentioned formation is described.That the flowcharting control device 48 of Fig. 1 is carried out, with the treatment step of the control relevant portion of the energising that the spontaneous heating of above-mentioned windscreen motor 53 is used.Promptly, at first, in step S1, judge whether pre-cold operation begins.When pre-cold operation begins (being among the step S1), in next step S2, begin the energising that the spontaneous heating of the coil 56,57 of windscreen motor 53 is used.This is switched on as mentioned above, and every certain hour of crossing is alternately repeatedly to 56 energisings of A phase coil with to 57 energisings of B coil.
When the cumulative time that begins from pre-cold operation is passed through certain hour, finish pre-cold operation (step S3).So, open defrosting heater 34 specifically, and the baffle plate 50 of sealing windshield device 37, beginning Defrost operation (step S4).Even when this Defrost operation, also continue to carry out the energising that the spontaneous heating of above-mentioned windscreen motor 53 is used.
In next step S5, judge whether the time that finishes into Defrost operation.At this moment, when defrosting sensor 58 detects temperature more than the set point of temperature (for example 8 ℃), being judged as defrosting finishes, even but defrosting sensor 58 does not also detect set point of temperature (for example 8 ℃), under the situation that has begun to pass through certain hour (for example 20 minutes) from Defrost operation, also force to finish.
When being judged as Defrost operation when finishing (being among the step S5), in step S6, turn-off defrosting heater 34.In next step S7, at elapsed time T1 (for example 6 minutes) afterwards, open compressor 40.Begin T1 time delay by the operation that makes compressor 40, make the pressure balance of each cooler 30,32 become good.Then, in step S8, passing through time T 2 (for example 4 minutes) afterwards, it is freezing with Air Blast fan 33 to drive (just changeing), and, in step S9, reverse freezing afterwards having passed through time T 3 (for example 1 minute) with Air Blast fan 33.Thus, because the warm air that defrosting produces does not rest on pipeline 36 parts flows (bottom of windshield device 37).
And, in step S10, at elapsed time T4 (for example 2 minutes) afterwards, be transformed into common cooling operation.At this moment, finish energising that the spontaneous heating of windscreen motor 53 is used, carry out the open and close controlling of common windshield device 37.And freezing rotation with Air Blast fan 33 is just returned and is changeed.
By above-mentioned control, to the energising that windscreen motor 53 follows the spontaneous heating of the on-off action of baffle plate 50 to use, coil 56,57 heatings of windscreen motor 53.By this heating, the motor frame that can improve windscreen motor 53 with and the temperature of peripheral part, can make windshield device 37 be difficult to take place dewfall.At this moment, by the energising of when windshield device 37 parts are easy to generate the Defrost operation of dewfall, carrying out the spontaneous heating of windscreen motor 53 is used, in the time of can effectively preventing Defrost operation and the generation of dewfall thereafter.And, when pre-cold operation, begin energising that the spontaneous heating of windscreen motor 53 is used, therefore in the moment of beginning Defrost operation, can be in advance the temperature of peripheral part of windscreen motor 53 be improved, become more effective.
In addition, Fig. 8 represents to have investigated when Defrost operation and the result of the test of the variations in temperature on the surface (medial surface 52a) of the shell 52 of the driving mechanism portion 51 of windshield device 37 afterwards.A represents to have carried out the variations in temperature under the situation of control (energising that spontaneous heating is used) of present embodiment among the figure, and b represents not carry out the variations in temperature in the past of the energising that spontaneous heating uses among the figure.And c represents the situation of the variations in temperature of (bottom of windshield device 37) in the pipeline 36 among the figure.
Be the temperature that the temperature of windshield device 37 is high as a comparison to realize preventing dewfall according to the also intelligible situation of this result of the test according to present embodiment.And, especially by the control of step S7~S9, postponed in the moment of open baffle 50, can further improve the effect that prevents dewfall.
So, according to present embodiment, in pipeline 36, be provided with the device of windshield device 37, when the on-off action of baffle plate 50 beyond, therefore energising to windscreen motor 53 does not follow the spontaneous heating of the on-off action of this baffle plate 50 to use can prevent the dewfall of windshield device 37 and freezing of baffle plate 50.At this moment, do not need additional other heater etc., the energising control by windscreen motor 53 can prevent dewfall and the generation of freezing, and use simple and cheap formation to get final product.

The flowcharting of Fig. 9 other embodiment of the present invention.This embodiment and the foregoing description difference be, carried out the moment of the energising that spontaneous heating uses by the 48 pairs of windscreen motors of control device 53 as the energising control module and control.Herein, control device 48 carries out the energising that spontaneous heating is used according to from the signal of the outer temperature degree sensor 59 that detects box outside temperature and the design temperature band of switching chamber 17 to windscreen motor 53.In addition, certainly windshield device 37 is carried out common control (open and close controlling of baffle plate 50).
Promptly, at first in step S21, judge whether outer temperature degree sensor 59 detects below the set point of temperature (for example 10 ℃).Temperature degree sensor 59 detects set point of temperature when following (being among the step S21) outside, in next step S22, judges that the setting of switching chamber 17 is whether beyond the freezer temperature band.Switch chamber 17 be set at beyond the freezer temperature band time (being among the step S22), in step S23, windscreen motor 53 is carried out the energising that spontaneous heating is used.
Afterwards, in step S24, whether the detected temperatures that monitors outer temperature degree sensor 59 is below set point of temperature (for example 10 ℃), when the temperature that detects above set point of temperature (among the step S24 not), in step S25, stop the energising that the spontaneous heating of windscreen motor 53 is used.Afterwards, repeat the processing that begins from step S21.
, be set under the situation of freezer temperature band in switching chamber 17,50 mosts of the time of baffle plate of windshield device 37 are in open state, and become the state of the cold air that always circulates in the pipeline 36, so shell 52 is difficult to produce dewfall herein.To this, switching under the situation that chamber 17 is set at the higher temperature band of refrigerating chamber, cool room geometric ratio, the 50 pent times of baffle plate become many, at this moment, near cold air (windshield device 37) in pipeline 36 is stagnated, and therefore has the situation of easy dewfall when baffle plate 50 is opened.And, during winter that temperature is low outside case etc., there is windshield device 37 low temperature more that becomes easily, be easy to generate the situation of the dewfall of shell 52.
Therefore, as present embodiment by constituting: switch that chamber 17 is set at beyond the freezer temperature band and outside temperature degree sensor detect set point of temperature when following, windscreen motor 53 is carried out the energising that spontaneous heating is used, can suppress windshield device 37 thus and become low temperature, and can effectively prevent the generation of the dewfall of windshield device 37.Compare with often carrying out the energising that 53 execution spontaneous heatings are used to the windscreen motor, can realize power saving, and, do not need additional other heater etc., use simple and cheap formation to get final product.
In addition, omitted diagram, but the present invention can change as follows and implement.At first, as the moment of windscreen motor 53 being carried out the energising that spontaneous heating uses, can carry out following several distortion.Promptly, at the device of the fault detection unit that is provided with the fault that is used for detecting defrosting sensor 58, also can constitute, when detecting the fault of defrosting sensor 58 by fault detection unit, often windscreen motor 53 is carried out the energising that spontaneous heating is used.Thus, when defrosting sensor 58 faults, can reliably prevent the generation of the dewfall of windshield device 37.
Perhaps, also can constitute, under the open state of the baffle plate 50 of windshield device 37, carry out the energising that the spontaneous heating of windscreen motor 53 is used continuously or intermittently.Thus, by in the windshield device 37 easily during the part of dewfall, can make 53 heatings of windscreen motor, and the part that can suppress to take place easily dewfall becomes low temperature, improve the effect that prevents dewfall at the open cold airflows of baffle plate 50.
And after the power supply of connecting refrigerator, the temperature in each storeroom 13~17 is than higher, and therefore the low temperature that is cooled to rapidly to a certain degree is important.And, during this precooling in, the temperature of windshield device 37 parts is also than higher, the possibility that therefore dewfall takes place is little, does not need to carry out the energising that spontaneous heating is used.
During so-called this precooling, specifically can judge according to following arbitrary condition: after connecting power supply through the stipulated time (for example 150 minutes) before; Or before the circulation of the refrigerating chamber refrigerating mode of having carried out stipulated number (for example 3 times) and refrigerating chamber refrigerating mode; Or become set point of temperature (for example-20 ℃) before with cooler 32 at refrigerating chamber; Or become set point of temperature (for example-10 ℃) in the refrigerating chamber 13 (perhaps ice-making compartment 14) before.
Therefore, can constitute: after connecting power supply, judge during the precooling till temperature in the storeroom 13~17 is reduced to below the set point of temperature in, forbid the energising that the spontaneous heating of windscreen motor 53 is used.Thus, can not take place under the state of dewfall, can realize power saving by forbidding energising.
