Refrigeration plant according to the embodiment of the invention is described with reference to the drawings below.
As shown in Figure 1, refrigeration plant for example is a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the invention, and certainly, the present invention is not limited to this, for example can refrigerator, and showcase etc.Refrigeration plant according to the embodiment of the invention comprises: speed-changing draught fan 10, frequency-changeable compressor 20, environment noise test unit 30 and control module 40.
Particularly, environment noise test unit 30 is used to detect the ambient noise of refrigeration plant.The ambient noise here is meant the ambient noise that the noise source in the refrigeration plant environment of living in produces.For example; Refrigeration plant is placed in the kitchen; Ambient noise is meant the noise that near the noise source (for example smoke exhaust ventilator) the refrigeration plant produces in the kitchen, and refrigeration plant is placed in the parlor, and ambient noise then is meant the noise that near the acoustic noise source (for example television set) the refrigeration plant produces in the parlor.Ambient noise be can with around the variation of environment change, the vehicle that goes in the street in kitchen for example at the front or parlor more for a long time, the noise in open the window kitchen or the parlor may be big when shutting the window.
Control module 40 links to each other with environment noise test unit 30, speed-changing draught fan 10 and frequency-changeable compressor 20 with the rotating speed (promptly controlling the noise of refrigeration plant) according to environment noise test unit 30 detected ambient noise size control speed-changing draught fans 10 and/or frequency-changeable compressor 20; Among the embodiment below, the rotating speed of controlling speed-changing draught fan 10 and/or frequency-changeable compressor 20 simultaneously according to environment noise test unit 30 detected ambient noise sizes with control module 40 is that example is described.
In other words; The rotating speed of speed-changing draught fan 10 and frequency-changeable compressor 20 can be by control module 40 controls, and the noise that speed-changing draught fan 10 and/or frequency-changeable compressor 20 produce normally and rotating speed separately (rotating speed of frequency conversion fan 10 is meant the rotating speed of frequency conversion fan 10 motors and blade, and compressor rotary speed is meant the rotating speed of motor of frequency-changeable compressor) that be directly proportional; After ambient noise is gathered in environment noise test unit 30 noise figure is passed to control module 40; Control module 40 is according to the noise figure that collects, the rotating speed of control speed-changing draught fan 10 and frequency-changeable compressor 20, and the noise (noise of refrigeration plant) that produces when making the work of speed-changing draught fan 10 and frequency-changeable compressor 20 is adaptive with ambient noise; Be used for impression with improvement to the noise of refrigeration plant;, need to prove, when speed-changing draught fan 10 and frequency-changeable compressor 20 are in minimum speed; The noise of refrigeration plant might be higher than ambient noise; When for example ambient noise was near 0dB, environment noise test unit 30 detected behind the environmental noise rotating speed with speed-changing draught fan 10 and/or frequency-changeable compressor 20 and is controlled at lowest speed and gets final product, and this moment, the noise of refrigeration plant was higher than environmental noise.Thus, improve user's impression.
Control the rotating speed of speed-changing draught fan 10 and frequency-changeable compressor 20 according to the size of the ambient noise of refrigeration plant according to the refrigeration plant of the embodiment of the invention; So that noise that refrigeration plant produces and ambient noise coupling; Make the noise of user's unsusceptibility, promoted the quality of refrigeration plant to refrigeration plant.
According to one embodiment of present invention, environment noise test unit 30 testing environment noise between speed-changing draught fan 10 and frequency-changeable compressor 20 down periods.In other words, environment noise test unit 30 detects ambient noise when speed-changing draught fan 10 and frequency-changeable compressor 20 stop, and makes detected ambient noise value more accurate.
