DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENT (S) OF INVENTION
In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiment of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Moreover, repeated reference numerals or designations may be used in various embodiments. These iterations are merely for simplicity and clarity of describing the present invention, and are not intended to represent any correlation between the different embodiments or configurations discussed.
As shown in fig. 1, the present invention provides a refrigerator and a defrosting control method for defrosting the refrigerator, specifically, the refrigerator includes an evaporator for cooling and a heating module for defrosting, in this embodiment, the heating module is provided as a heating wire; meanwhile, the refrigerator also comprises a control module for directly controlling the heating module to switch the working mode and switching the heating defrosting function.
The refrigerator also comprises a first temperature sensor which is arranged on the evaporator and used for detecting and feeding back the temperature of the evaporator to the control module; a second temperature sensor is arranged in the freezing chamber and used for detecting and feeding back the temperature of the freezing chamber to the control module; and a third temperature sensor for detecting and feeding back the ambient temperature around the refrigerator to the control module. Specifically, the first temperature sensor in this embodiment is disposed at a distance of 10-15 cm from the central portion of the evaporator to ensure that the detected temperature is too high to affect the judgment of the control module on the temperature.
By combining the modules and the functions, the defrosting control method provided by the invention specifically comprises the following steps:
s1, the control module controls the heating module to enter a self-checking mode, and obtains the evaporator temperature T0 detected by the first temperature sensor;
s2, setting the opening temperature Ta and comparing the evaporator temperature T0 with the opening temperature Ta;
s3, when the evaporator temperature T0 is judged to be less than or equal to the opening temperature Ta, the heating module is controlled to enter a single defrosting mode;
specifically, the single defrosting mode is as follows: the heating module works, starts heating for defrosting until the evaporator temperature T0 fed back by the first temperature sensor is higher than the starting temperature Ta. Generally, when a refrigerator has a quick-freezing or deep-freezing function and is just finished working under the function, the temperature around an evaporator compartment is very low, if frost starts to melt and the frost on an evaporator is not completely melted at one time, a lot of ice can be quickly accumulated around the evaporator after a short heating is finished, and if the refrigeration is continued, the frost continues to be formed, and the operation is repeated, so that the refrigeration performance of the evaporator can be seriously influenced; meanwhile, in the embodiment, the opening temperature Ta is set to be 0 ℃, the risk of icing around the evaporator is reduced through a self-checking mode, and the stability and reliability of the whole defrosting control process are enhanced.
S4, judging that the evaporator temperature T0 is greater than the opening temperature Ta, and entering a circulating defrosting mode;
s5, setting the cycle number n and executing heating defrosting for n periods; specifically, the control module is provided with preset temperature intervals, such as [ 0-10 ℃ ], [ 10-25 ℃ ], [ 25-32 ℃ ], [ 32-43 ℃ ], each preset temperature interval is provided with a corresponding cycle number, and after the third temperature sensor detects the current ambient temperature T3 of the refrigerator, the third temperature sensor feeds back the current ambient temperature to the control module and matches the current ambient temperature to the corresponding preset temperature interval to obtain the corresponding cycle number.
Wherein, the defrosting step of a single period is as follows:
a1, after entering the circulating defrosting mode, the second temperature sensor monitors the temperature T2 of the freezing chamber in real time and feeds the temperature back to the control module;
a2, when the control module judges that the temperature T2 of the freezing chamber is less than or equal to the minimum threshold temperature Tb, the control module controls the heating module to start heating for defrosting;
a3, when the control module judges that the temperature T2 of the freezing chamber is greater than or equal to the maximum threshold temperature Tc, the control module controls the heating module to close heating and defrosting to finish a defrosting cycle.
Further, the difference between the maximum threshold temperature Tc and the minimum threshold temperature Tb in this embodiment is 5 degrees celsius, that is, Tc = Tb +5 ℃; because the defrosting is started when the temperature T2 of the freezing chamber is less than or equal to the minimum threshold temperature Tb, and the defrosting is stopped until the temperature T2 of the freezing chamber is greater than or equal to Tb +5 ℃, namely Tb is the temperature of the freezing chamber at the time of defrosting, if the temperature in the control chamber rises to be less than 5 ℃, the surface temperature fluctuation of the corresponding stored food is less than 1 ℃, the freshness degree of the frozen food can be maintained, the temperature fluctuation generated in the defrosting process of the refrigerator is greatly reduced, and the freshness of the stored food is further ensured.
According to the invention, the signal of the sensor is directly fed back to the control module for processing so as to adjust the defrosting work of the heating module, and the circulating defrosting work greatly reduces the temperature fluctuation generated during defrosting and also reduces the defrosting time interval, thereby ensuring that the evaporator has a good working environment and a good freezing storage effect in a refrigerator compartment.
It should be understood that although the present description refers to embodiments, not every embodiment may contain only a single embodiment, and such description is for clarity only, and those skilled in the art will be able to make the description as a whole, and the embodiments may be appropriately combined to form other embodiments as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art.
The above detailed description is merely illustrative of possible embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, which is intended to include all equivalent embodiments or modifications within the scope of the present invention without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention.
