Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of refrigeration, in particular to a household refrigerator and a control method thereof.
Background
In the household refrigerator, frost is inevitably formed on the evaporators of the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber during use, so that it is necessary to periodically activate the heater installed on the evaporator to defrost the evaporator and discharge the defrost water through the drain line. Accordingly, the operation control of the refrigerator includes a refrigeration cycle for refrigerating the compartment and a defrosting cycle for defrosting the evaporator.
The defrosting control in the frost-free refrigerator is usually timing defrosting, and the timing defrosting can start to defrost when the frost on the surface of an evaporator is very little, which causes waste of energy. Furthermore, another drawback of the above method is: in a wet season, a user opens the door more times, a lot of frost is accumulated on the evaporator, but the refrigerator does not start defrosting before the specified defrosting time, and the refrigerating performance of the refrigerator is seriously influenced. In order to overcome the defect of timed defrosting, some improved defrosting control methods control defrosting according to factors such as the power-on time of a refrigerator, the working time of a compressor, the door opening times, the ambient temperature and the like. Although the defrosting efficiency is improved to a certain extent by the defrosting control methods, the consideration factors are many, and the program logic is complex.

Optionally, the method further comprises the following steps: and controlling the evaporator to start defrosting and/or finish defrosting based on the change of the capacitance value detected by the capacitance type defrosting sensor.
Optionally, the method further comprises the following steps: controlling the evaporator to start and/or end defrosting based on a comparison of the detected capacitance value C2 with a reference capacitance value C1.
Optionally, the method further comprises the step of starting defrosting by the evaporator when the difference value obtained by subtracting the reference capacitance value C1 from the detected capacitance value C2 is greater than or equal to a preset value △ V1.
Optionally, the method further comprises the step of finishing defrosting by the evaporator when a difference value obtained by subtracting the reference capacitance value C1 from the detected capacitance value C2 is less than or equal to another preset value △ V2, wherein △ V1 is far greater than △ V2.
Optionally, the method further comprises the following steps: when the condition that the defrosting of the evaporator is finished is judged to be met, the control unit controls the evaporator to finish defrosting after a preset time T1.
Optionally, the comparison result includes a ratio comparison result and/or a difference comparison result.
Optionally, the reference capacitance value C1 is a raw capacitance value detected by the capacitive frost sensor in case the evaporator is not frosted.
Optionally, the method further comprises the following steps: when the evaporator starts defrosting, the preset time T2 passes
And then, the control unit controls the evaporator to finish defrosting.
The invention also provides a refrigeration appliance, which comprises a control unit and is characterized in that the control unit controls the operation of the refrigeration appliance according to the control method of any one of the above.
Therefore, the frost formation amount of the evaporator can be detected by using the capacitive frost sensor, and the starting or ending time point of the defrosting of the evaporator can be determined accurately according to the detected capacitance value or the change of the capacitance value, so that the defrosting efficiency of the evaporator is improved.

Thereby avoiding unnecessary defrosting and saving energy; and defrosting can be started in time under the condition of defrosting requirement, so that the working efficiency of the refrigerating system is improved. In addition, the control of the starting of defrosting based on the single factor of the capacitance value is simpler in control logic.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the 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.
The embodiment of the invention is described by taking the refrigeration appliance as a household refrigerator as an example, and the invention can be applied to a two-door refrigerator, a three-door refrigerator, a side-by-side refrigerator, a multi-door refrigerator and the like.
FIG. 1 is a schematic longitudinal plane view of a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, a home refrigerator in one embodiment of the present invention has a cabinet 1 of a refrigerator compartment 2, a cooling and defrosting system, and a control unit controlling the cooling and defrosting system. Wherein the refrigeration and defrosting system includes a compressor 3, an evaporator 4, a fan 5, a heater (not shown), and the like. The control unit is respectively connected with an evaporator temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the evaporator, a compartment temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of a compartment of the refrigerator and a capacitance type frost sensor for detecting the frosting condition of the evaporator (not shown in the figure). In the present embodiment, the refrigerator compartment 2 is a freezer compartment of a refrigerator, and its normal set temperature is minus 18 degrees, but in other embodiments, the refrigerator compartment 2 may be provided as a refrigerator compartment or a temperature-variable compartment of the refrigerator.
The evaporator 4 is a freezing chamber evaporator provided between the rear wall 10 of the cabinet 1 and the cover 6, and the space in which the evaporator 4 is placed may be referred to as an evaporator chamber, the rear wall 10 and the cover 6 being walls of the evaporator chamber. The fan 5 is an evaporator fan placed adjacent to and above the freezer evaporator, the blades of which are placed horizontally and at a small distance from the back wall 10 of the cabinet 1 and the cover 6. The heater may be a conventional electrical heating wire attached and secured together adjacent to the fins and refrigerant tubes of the evaporator. The evaporator temperature sensor may be provided on the evaporator to detect the temperature of the evaporator. The refrigerator compartment temperature sensor may be provided on an inner wall of the freezing compartment to detect a temperature in the freezing compartment. A capacitive frost sensor is provided in the evaporator chamber to detect frosting of the evaporator 4. The temperature and the frosting condition of the evaporator detected by the three sensors are fed back to a control circuit board of the control unit for processing. The control unit sends corresponding control signals to the compressor 3, the evaporator 4, the fan 5, the heater and other elements according to the processing result, so that refrigeration of the freezing chamber and defrosting of the evaporator 4 are controlled.
Generally, a refrigerator has a certain defrosting interval time between two defrosting procedures before and after starting, and since there are many disadvantages in the prior art in which a fixed defrosting interval time is set to start a defrosting procedure, such as the fact that a defrosting operation cannot be performed in time to affect the refrigeration performance of the refrigerator or the energy consumption is wasted due to frequent defrosting operations, the corresponding defrosting procedure must be started according to the exact amount of frost formed by an evaporator. Therefore, the invention provides a method for monitoring the frosting amount of the evaporator in real time through the capacitive frost sensor so as to achieve the aim of accurately controlling defrosting.
Specifically, the capacitive frost sensor comprises a first electrode and a second electrode; the second electrode is provided at least in a part of the evaporator, and the first electrode is opposed to the evaporator surface with a predetermined interval maintained. The capacitive frost sensor can detect the capacitance value between the first electrode and the second electrode and the change of the capacitance value in time along with the change of the frost formation amount of the evaporator. Therefore, the frosting degree of the evaporator is accurately judged based on the detected capacitance value change, and an accurate judgment basis is provided for judging whether the next evaporator is started for defrosting.
Fig. 2 is a schematic structural view of an evaporator chamber in the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the evaporator chamber is defined between the rear wall 10 of the cabinet 1 and the cover 6. The evaporator 4 is disposed in the evaporator chamber and adjacent the back wall 10 and the cover 6, respectively, so that the air passes through the evaporator chamber substantially through the body of the evaporator 4 to facilitate heat exchange. The first electrode 8 of the capacitive frost sensor can be arranged on the rear wall 10, which is one of the two walls of the evaporator chamber. In particular, the rear wall 10 is provided with a recess 7, and the first electrode 8 of the capacitive frost sensor is arranged in the recess 7, so that the first electrode 8 is prevented from being convexly arranged on the rear wall 10 and pressing against the space of the evaporator chamber.
Further, the grooves 7 are recessed inward to form a predetermined interval 9 so that the first electrode 8 is opposed to the surface of the evaporator 4 as the second electrode and the predetermined interval 9 is maintained. The predetermined interval 9 is an effective space for the capacitive frost sensor to detect, and along with the change of the frost thickness in the predetermined interval 9, the capacitance value detected by the capacitive frost sensor correspondingly changes. In addition, the predetermined space 9 is arranged in the groove 7 without occupying the space of the evaporator chamber, and the heat exchange space of the original evaporator chamber is ensured.
Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of the capacitive frost sensor in fig. 2, in which the first electrode is disposed on the rear wall of the box. As shown in fig. 3, the first electrode 8 of the capacitive frost sensor is disposed in a projection area 41 of the evaporator 4 on the rear wall 10 of the case 1 such that the first electrode 8 can be held opposite to the surface of the evaporator 4 as the second electrode.
Fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a capacitive frost sensor according to a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a first electrode is disposed on a rear wall of a case. As shown in fig. 4, the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that: the first electrodes 8 are provided in several, for example three. The three first electrodes 8 are respectively disposed at different positions in a projection area 41 of the evaporator 4 above the rear wall 10, for example, the three first electrodes 8 are respectively disposed at left, middle and right positions in the projection area 41. The different first electrodes 8 are thus facing different areas of the evaporator 4, respectively, so that between the different first electrodes 8 and the corresponding different areas of the evaporator 4, the corresponding capacitance values and their changes can be detected, on the basis of which the frosting of the different areas of the evaporator 4 is obtained. Therefore, the overall frosting condition of the evaporator 4 can be more accurately judged, and whether defrosting is started or not can be more accurately judged according to the overall frosting condition.
Further, several of the first electrodes 8 are connected in series or in parallel with each other. Several first electrodes 8 are selectively implemented in series or in parallel with each other based on different methods of calculating the frost formation amount of the evaporator. If the metal plates are connected in series, the monitored capacitance value is the sum of the corresponding capacitances of the metal plates connected in series, and the frost formation degree of the whole evaporator is estimated based on the capacitance value of the sum. If the two areas are connected in parallel, the capacitance values of the different areas are detected simultaneously, so that the frosting amount of the different areas is obtained, and the frosting amount degree of the whole apple evaporator is obtained based on the frosting amount of the different areas.
Fig. 5 is a schematic structural view of an evaporator chamber in a third embodiment of the present invention. When the evaporator defrosts, the heater heats the evaporator to raise the indoor temperature of the evaporator, so as to melt the frost. In order to concentrate the heat generated by the heater in the evaporator chamber, and in particular above the evaporator to be defrosted, it is common to provide a metal plate or layer, such as an aluminum plate or a layer of aluminum foil, on the wall of the evaporator chamber to reflect the heat back to the evaporator and also to prevent the heat from radiating into the refrigerator compartment and affecting its storage temperature. As shown in fig. 5, the evaporator chamber is defined between the rear wall 10 of the cabinet 1 and the cover 6. An evaporator 4 is provided in the evaporator chamber. Metal plates are provided on the rear wall 10 and the cover plate 6, respectively, which are configured as walls of the evaporator chamber, i.e., a first metal plate 11 is provided on the rear wall 10 and a second metal plate 12 is provided on the inner surface of the cover plate 6. The first metal plate 11 may be provided as a first electrode in the capacitive frost sensor while maintaining a predetermined interval 9 from the surface of the evaporator 4 provided as a second electrode in the capacitive frost sensor. Therefore, the structure arrangement in the original evaporator chamber can be fully utilized, and the function of the capacitive frost sensor can be realized without additionally carrying out complex modification or installation on the evaporator chamber.
In each of the above embodiments, the first electrode surface may be coated with an insulating material. Therefore, at least the first electrode and the evaporator serving as the second electrode are ensured to be insulated, and the failure of the whole capacitive frost sensor is avoided.
In other embodiments, the differences from the above embodiments are: the first electrode is not disposed on a wall of the evaporator chamber but is supported above the evaporator while being insulated from the evaporator by a predetermined interval. This provides an alternative way of mounting the first electrode, which is also relatively simple and easy to implement, without requiring additional modifications to the evaporator or evaporator chamber.
Further, the first electrodes comprise a plurality of first electrodes which are respectively supported at different positions on the evaporator so as to respectively detect frosting conditions at different positions on the evaporator. As mentioned before, several of said first electrodes may be connected in series or in parallel with each other. Several first electrodes are selectively implemented in series or in parallel with each other based on different methods of calculating the frost formation amount of the evaporator.
Fig. 6 is a flowchart for controlling defrosting of an evaporator based on a capacitance value detected by a capacitive frost sensor. As shown in fig. 6, the reference capacitance C1 is given a preset initial value during the factory shipment of the refrigerator, and is used as a judgment parameter for judging whether to start the evaporator for defrosting for the first time after the refrigerator starts to operate. Of course, when the user uses the refrigerator for the first time, the capacitance value measured by the capacitive frost sensor for the first time after the refrigerator is turned on may be the reference capacitance value C1. In summary, the reference capacitance value C1 is a raw capacitance value detected by the capacitive frost sensor in a case where the evaporator is not frosted in a raw state.
During the subsequent normal operation of the refrigerator, the capacitive frost sensor continuously detects the capacitance value between the first electrode and the evaporator as the second electrode and the change thereof to obtain a detected capacitance value C2. And continuously comparing the detected capacitance value C2 with the reference capacitance value C1, and further judging whether to start next defrosting of the evaporator according to the comparison result.
When the difference value obtained by subtracting the reference capacitance value C1 from the detected capacitance value C2 is greater than or equal to a preset value △ V1, namely the refrigerator control unit controls the evaporator to start defrosting, △ V1 needs to be set through a refrigeration experiment in combination with a capacitive defrosting sensor test, when the capacitance value monitored in real time is gradually increased, frost on the evaporator is gradually increased, and when the increase amount of the frost has influenced the refrigeration effect of the refrigerator (namely the change amount of the capacitance reaches △ V1), a defrosting program is started.
During the defrosting process of the refrigerator, the capacitive frost sensor continuously detects the capacitance value between the first electrode and the evaporator as the second electrode and the change thereof to obtain a detected capacitance value C2.
When the difference value obtained by subtracting the reference capacitance value C1 from the detected capacitance value C2 is smaller than or equal to another preset value △ V2, the condition that the defrosting of the evaporator is finished is basically met, the control unit can control the defrosting of the evaporator to be finished, but in order to enable the defrosting water to be sufficiently discharged out of the evaporator chamber, a preset time T1 can be delayed, and then the control unit really controls the defrosting of the evaporator to be finished, wherein △ V1 is far larger than △ V2, because △ V2 is close to or approximately equal to zero, the specific value of △ V2 also needs to be set through experimental selection, when △ V2 is close to or approximately equal to zero, the frost between the current first electrode and the evaporator serving as the second electrode is basically melted, and the frost on the whole evaporator is also basically melted, so that the condition that the defrosting is started and finished is met.
Therefore, the frosting condition of the evaporator can be judged directly and accurately, and the time point for controlling the start or the end of defrosting of the evaporator is accurate. Thereby avoiding unnecessary defrosting and saving energy; and defrosting can be started in time under the condition of defrosting requirement, so that the working efficiency of the refrigerating system is improved. In addition, the control of the starting of defrosting based on the single factor of the capacitance value is simpler in control logic.
Similarly, in another embodiment, the flow of controlling defrosting of the evaporator based on the capacitance value detected by the capacitance type defrosting sensor is different from the flow of controlling defrosting of the evaporator based on the capacitance value detected by the capacitance type defrosting sensor: controlling the evaporator to start and/or end defrosting based on a proportional comparison of the detected capacitance value C2 to a reference capacitance value C1 instead of the difference comparison described above.
In another embodiment, the difference from the above-mentioned flow of controlling defrosting of the evaporator based on the capacitance value detected by the capacitance type defrosting sensor is that: after the evaporator starts defrosting, the control unit controls the evaporator to finish defrosting after a preset time T2. That is, the evaporator is controlled to finish defrosting based on time rather than on the capacitance value or the change thereof.
The previous description of the disclosed embodiments is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown herein but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
