[ description of the invention ] the present invention relates to the technical background of instant freeze storage
The invention relates to a storage object which comprises the following storage objects: such as meat stock, seafood, and fruit and vegetable fresh stock, cake/cold food, bread stock, and edible food such as beverage, wine, and additive; in addition, cadavers that require instant freezing are also contemplated.
Generally, a refrigerating apparatus stores a storage including a storage such as fish or meat, and the like, and the inside temperature of a closed flash chamber is reduced to be lower than the outside temperature, so that the storage is stored for a long period of time by a low-temperature freezing method.
Whether the quality of the stored material is good or not is greatly affected by the shape, size and distribution of ice crystals generated during freezing. For example, in slow freezing of meat, ice crystals are firstly generated outside muscle cells with low solution concentration, the number of crystal nucleus is small, the ice crystals grow large, cell membranes are damaged, cells are broken, meanwhile, moisture of muscle cells permeates the cell membranes to form the ice crystals, the muscle cells are dehydrated and atrophic, and the cells cannot be completely restored to be fresh when thawing, so that the fresh flavor is lost. Therefore, after thawing the stock, especially after thawing the stock such as meat or fish, the flavor is lost and the taste is deteriorated.
In order to solve such a problem, the present application proposes a technique of supercooling a storage by controlling the temperature of a flash chamber by using a supercooled state.
The supercooled state means that the stored material does not undergo a phase change although it has reached a level below the freezing point of the stored material. Supercooled freezing (or instant freezing) refers to a freezing preservation mode (different from conventional freezing preservation) in which supercooled state is achieved.
After the storage article is in the supercooled state, the instant freezing (or supercooled freezing) is different from the quick freezing to the greatest extent; ensuring that the storage article enters a supercooled state and maintaining the supercooled non-frozen state for a sufficient time to ensure adequate supercooling; at the same time, it is also necessary to ensure that the temperature of the store is low in the supercooled state, i.e. to ensure that the store is supercooled sufficiently.
The supercooling degree is the difference between the freezing point of the stored material and the supercooling minimum temperature. The degree of supercooling depends on the freezing point of the store and the supercooling minimum temperature.
The supercooling minimum temperature means the minimum temperature at which the stored material maintains the supercooled state.
By freezing point is meant the point at which the moisture in the store changes from a liquid state to a solid state, i.e. the temperature at which ice crystals of the store begin to appear. For example, the freezing point of purified water is 0 ℃, and the supercooled state is that water has been cooled below its freezing point, i.e. 0 ℃, and still remains in a liquid state from freezing. However, most foods contain inorganic salts, sugar or other organic acids, etc. which affect freezing, and the liquid in the stock is not pure water, but a solution containing a solute, and the vapor pressure of the solution is reduced due to the action of the solute in the solution, so that the freezing temperature of the stock is lower than the freezing point 0 ℃ of water (raoult's law).
Different storage types have certain difference of freezing points, but most of the freezing points are between-1 ℃ and-5 ℃, and the following common storage freezing points are listed:
beef: -1.6 ℃ to 2.2 ℃;
pork: -2.0 ℃; fish: -2.2 ℃;
egg: -2.8 ℃; milk: -0.6 ℃;
grape: -3.5 ℃; apple: -2.0 ℃;
when the storage device is in control, if the instant freezing chamber only stores a certain type of storage objects, the freezing point of the storage objects is only considered, if the instant freezing chamber does not make a fine distinction, the storage device can be used for storing a plurality of types of storage objects, the normal range of the freezing point of different types of storage objects is considered, and a certain control allowance is reserved. Most of the frozen stock stored in the refrigerator is meat, however, the freezing point of meat is usually about-2 ℃, and accordingly, the freezing point temperature of meat can be set to about-2 ℃.
Currently, industry has consensus that supercooling refrigeration technology (or "instant freezing technology") greatly improves the quality of refrigeration due to supercooling state during the freezing process.

Taking water as an example, fig. 1 (a) shows a normal freezing and freezing curve, namely, a freezing and freezing curve without supercooling, fig. 1 (b) and fig. 1 (c) show five states which are undergone by a freezing curve with supercooling and freezing process and supercooling and freezing storage process (namely, instant freezing and storing process), and the five states are: (1) unfrozen state: the storage temperature is the state above the freezing point of the storage.
(2) Supercooling state: the temperature of the store is below the freezing point of the store and is not frozen.
(3) Instantaneous temperature rise state after supercooling release: the temperature of the storage material is raised from the temperature below the freezing point to the temperature-raising state of the freezing point.
(4) Freezing start-freezing completion state: the process of the storage (i.e. water) being maintained at the freezing point temperature from a liquid state to a solid state is maintained by the phase change of the storage (i.e. water, if water, from liquid water to solid ice) reaching the freezing point.
(5) Freezing completion and cryopreservation state: the stored material is frozen after the process of (4), and the stored material is continuously reduced from the freezing point temperature under the condition of external continuous cooling, and finally is frozen and stored for a long time at a temperature lower than the freezing point.
According to the analysis of fig. 1 (a), 1 (b) and 1 (c) in combination with the common freezing and supercooling freezing principles, it is known that the common freezing in fig. 1 (a) slowly starts to freeze from the surface of the object over time, and finally the formed ice crystals have larger and sharp volumes, such as needles, so that not only the microbial cells are damaged, but also the cells of the fresh storage such as fresh meat, fruits and vegetables are damaged, and the quality of the fresh storage is reduced. Whereas the water in fig. 1 (b) and 1 (c) has supercooled freezing process, the water starts to freeze after the supercooled state is released after the supercooled state, and the ice crystal growth and change process during the freezing process of the water after the supercooled state can be seen from fig. 1 (c). From the illustration of fig. 1 (c), we can conclude that: the process of supercooling can inhibit the generation of needle-shaped ice crystals in the aqueous storage during storage, the formed ice crystals are more in elliptical particle packing, the volume is smaller and the size is more uniform, and the process is different from the needle-shaped ice crystals generated by common freezing, so that the damaged cells of the needle-shaped ice crystals during common freezing can be prevented, the outflow of cell juice is reduced, the flavor substances of the storage are preserved, and the preservation effect of the storage is improved.
Specific examples of the instant freezing process are as follows:
s1: the stage cooling and supercooling process refers to a supercooling and supercooling process in which the stored substance is cooled from a temperature higher than the freezing point to a temperature lower than the freezing point and is not frozen. The greatest advantage of using supercooled refrigeration to freeze the stock is that good quality refrigeration can be obtained. During entry into and in the supercooled state,
the interior of the reservoir is also sufficiently cooled so that uniform ice nuclei form throughout the reservoir and grow into small granular ice crystals. In addition, the larger the difference between the lowest temperature reached in the supercooled state and the freezing point, the larger the number of ice nuclei formed at the start of freezing.
For better freezing quality of finer ice crystals, the present invention preferably adopts a stage-wise supercooling process (fig. 1 (c) is a process of a0→a1→a2).
The first stage (A0-A1) of the initial cooling is a pre-cooling stage, and the refrigerating system is controlled to provide larger cold quantity of the instant freezing chamber compared with other cooling stages so as to meet the requirement of rapid cooling of the stored matters. Because the initial temperature of the refrigerated storage is higher in the freezing process, larger cold quantity is needed, and when the temperature is reduced and cooled initially, the surface temperature is rapidly reduced, if the cold quantity supply cannot adapt to the cooling speed of the storage, the central temperature of the refrigerated storage is limited by slow heat transfer and is slowly reduced, the whole temperature of the refrigerated storage is uneven, the refrigerated storage is difficult to enter a supercooled state, and the phenomenon of splitting skin is also generated. Therefore, it is preferable that the first stage cooling lowers the temperature of the whole of the refrigerated storage by a temperature T1 slightly higher than the freezing point with a relatively large amount of cooling so as to be supercooled. Since the frozen stock stored in the refrigerator is mainly meat, and the freezing point of meat is generally about-2 ℃, correspondingly, T1 can be set to about 10 ℃ to-1 ℃.
Preferably, the lower the supercooling minimum threshold value is, the lower the cooling speed is controlled so as to avoid unexpected release of supercooling caused by air flow disturbance and temperature disturbance. In order to ensure more sufficient supercooling time and smoothly cool to the lowest temperature threshold of supercooling (also called the lowest supercooling temperature or the lowest supercooling temperature), the sectional cooling supercooling process at least comprises 2 stages, preferably more than 3 stages, such as 6 stages, so that the supercooling process is cooled to the lowest cooling threshold as smoothly as possible, but the initial temperature of the food is higher in the first stage as the initial stage, more cold energy is required for supplying, and the preferred cooling speed is the greatest to reduce the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the food as much as possible, so that the skin cracking phenomenon is generated.
Further preferably, the temperature of the surface of the storage object is reduced from 3 ℃ to a temperature reduction speed within the range of 0 ℃; the temperature difference of air around the storage is below 2 ℃, and the temperature difference between the surface and the center of the food is below 2 ℃, so that the food is more favorable for entering a supercooling state and maintaining supercooling with enough supercooling degree.
S2: the supercooling release process is a freezing process of the stored material from supercooling release to full freezing of the stored material due to supercooling stimulation, as shown in fig. 1 (C), namely, an a→b→c process, wherein the a→b process is a temperature raising process of instantly raising the temperature of the stored material to a freezing point after supercooling release operation is performed, the B state point is a starting point of the stored material to start freezing, and the C state point is an ending point of the stored material to be fully frozen; the process B-C is a phase change process from completely unfrozen to completely frozen after supercooling release operation, solid-liquid coexistence state is adopted between B-C, and round ice crystal particles are uniformly distributed in food cells (stored matters) without puncturing cell walls, so that the food is preserved without deterioration, and meanwhile, nutrition loss is avoided. In the actual operation process, the shorter and better the process time is, so as to quickly break through the maximum ice crystal band.
The supercooled state is an unstable state, and some stimulus is required to release the supercooled state, and the stimulus may be a temperature element or a physical element. The supercooled state is an unstable state, and some stimulus is required to release the supercooled state, and the stimulus may be a temperature element or a physical element. The supercooling state can be released by adjusting the temperature and the amount of the cold air in the aspect of temperature. The physical aspect may be relieved by applying an electric field, a magnetic field, physical vibration, microwaves, etc. to the store. The supercooling release process of the present application is a process of releasing supercooling of a stored article due to stimulus, in which the stored article is instantaneously warmed up to the freezing point temperature of the stored article and rapidly frozen until the stored article is completely frozen.
Specifically, the means for applying external stimulus to the storage in the supercooled state in the flash chamber may be either temperature-wise or physical-wise. The external stimulus may be generated by a device related to cooling in the refrigeration system, or may be generated by a supercooling release device provided separately, or may be generated by a combination of them. Thus, an electric field and/or a magnetic field and/or mechanical oscillation can be applied to the instant freezing chamber to solve the supercooling process, one or more of the means can be matched with a freezing fan and/or a condenser fan and/or a compressor and/or a capillary group and/or an instant freezing chamber air door of the refrigerating system, and supercooling release can be realized by controlling only the freezing fan and/or the condenser fan and/or the compressor and/or the capillary group and/or the instant freezing chamber air door of the refrigerating system.
Preferably, the supercooling release by means of temperature stimulation may be an increase in the cooling fan speed of the refrigeration system and/or an increase in the condenser fan speed and/or an increase in the compressor speed and/or a decrease in the capillary group flow and/or an increase in the flash chamber air supply. Further preferably, the refrigerating fan speed and/or the condenser fan speed and/or the compressor speed and/or the capillary group flow and/or the instant freezing chamber air supply quantity can be adjusted to have the maximum refrigerating capacity corresponding to the refrigerating system or provide the maximum refrigerating capacity to the instant freezing chamber. In the first stage of stage cooling, the temperature of the stored material is higher than the temperature difference of the instantaneous freezing chamber, and the larger cooling capacity is provided for the instantaneous freezing chamber, so that the rapid cooling in the precooling stage and the internal and external temperatures of the stored material are consistent as soon as possible so as to stably enter the supercooling state. When supercooling is released, providing a relatively large amount of cooling capacity to the flash chamber helps to efficiently release supercooling and achieve rapid breakthrough of the reservoir through the maximum ice crystal zone formation freezing.
Preferably, the electric field for removing supercooling can be an electrostatic field or an alternating electric field, and can be a high-voltage electrostatic field or a low-voltage electrostatic field according to the different electric field intensities; the frequency can be low-frequency electric field or high-frequency electric field, and the wave can be sinusoidal or non-sinusoidal, such as pulse square wave. It is found that different electric field types, different electric field intensities, different electric field frequencies and different voltage waveforms play different roles at different stages in the whole supercooling process, if the stimulation for releasing supercooling is applied by using the energy device, different electric field types and/or different electric field intensities and/or different electric field frequencies can be applied in different instant freezing processes, so that the instant freezing process can not only obtain the ice crystal state for improving the microstructure of the muscle fiber bundles and tendering the meat quality, but also obtain more comprehensive technical effects in the aspects of keeping the flavor and nutrition of food, the color and luster and the energy consumption of the refrigerator.
It is further noted that whatever the cooling is used, the formation of finer ice crystals in a short period of time is facilitated by the maximum ice crystal formation zone (typically-1 ℃ C. To-5 ℃ C.) and other adverse effects that lead to increased ice crystals and reduced frozen quality of the store can be counteracted. Therefore, we propose that the supercooling release phase of the stored article still preferably allows the stored article to be frozen completely and quickly, that is, the process b→c in fig. 1 (C) is completed in a shorter time, so that the time consumption of the whole supercooling freezing process is reduced, and the supercooling freezing effect is ensured. In the supercooling release stage, no matter what release means are adopted, the refrigerating device keeps larger refrigerating capacity in the supercooling release process, so that the instant freezing chamber can quickly reach the C state point from the B state point, and the freezing process from never freezing to totally freezing is very beneficial.
S3: the conventional refrigeration preservation process refers to the process of freezing preservation after the storage is frozen. The process is conventional preservation after the stored object is completely frozen in the supercooling state, and if conventional freezing means are adopted at the stage to maintain the stored object within a preset temperature range, the conventional refrigeration preservation process can be realized by controlling a freezing air door and/or a periodical start-stop mode of a compressor. In the embodiment, the final preservation temperature of the conventional refrigeration preservation process is controlled within the range of-5 ℃ to-18 ℃ preferably through the start-stop of the flash chamber air door.
But we have also surprisingly found that, in theory, the stock was already in a totally frozen state at the C-state point. However, at this time, the formation of ice crystals does not completely reach a stable state, and still has a certain capacity of solidifying small ice crystals into large ice crystals, and the temperature point is generally 0-5 ℃ lower than the freezing point. At this time, if the instant freezing chamber is cooled down at a relatively high cooling intensity and cooling speed when the instant freezing process of the stored object reaches the C state point, the obtained freezing effect is better than that obtained by the conventional freezing preservation mode (also commonly called as a common freezing mode) immediately after the C state point is reached.
Preferably, in the conventional refrigeration and preservation process of the embodiment, the instantaneous freezing chamber air door is controlled to be opened and closed continuously and reciprocally according to the preset temperature Tc:
(1) Starting up working point of the air door of the instant freezing chamber: t (T) ON c=Tc+T B1 /2;
(2) The air door of the instant freezing chamber is closed to work point: t (T) off c=T ON c-T B2 /2;
Tc is the preset reference temperature of conventional refrigeration preservation;
T B1 refers to the floating temperature of the starting point of the temperature changing chamber in the starting process of the compressor;
T B2 indicating the start-stop temperature difference of the temperature changing chamber; t (T) ON c>Tc>T off c。
Preferably T B1 The range of the value of (C) is 0 DEG C<T B1 ≤2℃,T B2 The range of the value of (C) is 0 DEG C<T B2 ≤2℃。
As previously described, even if a supercooled state is experienced, if we can accelerate the freezing speed of the maximum ice crystal temperature zone, the possibility of ice crystallization becomes lower, and other causes of degradation in the frozen quality of the stock can be more favorably offset, achieving better quality freezing.
Based on this, the conventional refrigeration storage process of the present embodiment preferably does not stop the supercooling release operation immediately upon the freezing process reaching the C-state point as in FIG. 1 (C), and delays until the temperature of the stored material is lowered from the B-state point to T off c=T ON c-T B2 And/2, controlling the compressor or the flash chamber air door to be opened and closed continuously and reciprocally according to the preset temperature Tc. On one hand, the method can avoid the formation of large ice crystals by re-bonding ice crystals, and on the other hand, the method can avoid the degradation of supercooling and freezing quality caused by inaccurate temperature monitoring or asynchronous temperature drop inside and outside the storage, which leads to the fact that the temperature of the center of the storage does not exceed the maximum ice crystal band.
Accurate control of the supercooling process to ensure adequate supercooling of the stored product, but also to ensure rapid freezing after supercooling release, is an important guarantee for improving supercooling freezing quality, avoiding freezing time processes, and reducing refrigerator energy consumption.
However, the temperature of the instant freezing chamber is difficult to control according to the supercooling temperature condition of the stored object, and particularly the temperature distribution in the instant freezing chamber is difficult to uniformly maintain in the conventional refrigerating device, and aiming at the problem, the instant freezing chamber is arranged in the refrigerator, and the control system is used for controlling the refrigerating system to respectively perform the processes of supercooling and cooling, supercooling release and conventional refrigerating preservation, and meanwhile, the start-stop control of the compressor and the accumulated working time length control of the compressor are combined, so that the stable and uniform supercooling and cooling process can be ensured, meanwhile, the supercooling can be effectively released, the freezing process of the stored object is faster, the ice crystal is finer and more round, and the cutting can be easily realized without thawing; meanwhile, the damage of cells of the articles to be frozen is avoided, the loss of nutrient substances in the freezing and thawing processes is reduced, and the problems of overlong instant freezing process and overlarge energy consumption of refrigeration equipment are avoided.

The refrigerator in this embodiment further includes a refrigerating chamber 11 and a freezing chamber 13. In addition, the instantaneous freezing chamber can be internally provided with a storage drawer so as to form a more airtight storage space, and can also be arranged into a rack type so as to form more uniform cold air flow in the instantaneous freezing chamber to ensure uniform temperature and uniform storage cooling. A door body for opening or closing the instant freezing chamber can be arranged at the front opening of the instant freezing chamber,
The door body can be a sliding door which is pushed and pulled left and right/up and down, and can also be a side-by-side door or a single door. Further, the refrigerator may also include common freezing and refrigerating functions and other instant freezing chambers, such as refrigerating and freezing chambers, for achieving the functions.

The instant freezing chamber can be used for storing various foods, and can be specially used for some foods or foods of certain types, so that the accuracy of instant freezing function control and the freezing quality are improved.
The item to be frozen in this embodiment may be a food product, in particular meat, which requires frozen storage.
The amount of cold required to store the items to be frozen comes from the refrigeration system. The refrigerator in an embodiment of the present invention includes a refrigeration system (not shown) that is configured to controllably provide cooling to the flash chamber, although other compartments may be controlled to provide cooling.
Fig. 3 shows a refrigeration system 200 for performing the instant freezing process cooling supply of the refrigeration apparatus according to the present embodiment. The refrigerating system comprises a compressor 23, a condenser 24, a throttling device (such as a capillary group) 270, a refrigerating evaporator 21 and other refrigerating components, which are sequentially connected by pipelines as shown in fig. 3 to form a closed system, and the refrigerant continuously circulates in the system to change the state and exchange heat with the outside. When the refrigerating system works, the evaporator continuously absorbs heat of the storage, the low-temperature low-pressure liquid state is converted into low-temperature low-pressure gas, the compressor sucks low-pressure working medium steam from the evaporator, the low-pressure steam is compressed into high-pressure steam, the high-pressure refrigerant steam is sent into the condenser, the high-pressure refrigerant steam is condensed into high-pressure liquid in the condenser, the low-pressure liquid is throttled by the capillary tube group and then is returned to the evaporator, the low-pressure liquid absorbs heat and is evaporated in the evaporator to become low-pressure steam, and the low-pressure steam is sent into an inlet of the compressor, so that continuous cyclic reciprocating phase change and refrigerating cycle are completed. Preferably, the present embodiment also provides a return air line assembly 220, a return air heat exchange section 221.
Further improving the supercooling performance of the refrigeration equipment. Further preferably, an anti-condensation tube 25 and a dry filter 26 are also included to ensure that the refrigerant does not ice-plug when the capillary tube is throttled.
Further, in order to efficiently release supercooling, the present embodiment provides an energy apparatus, which is an oscillating device 39.
The oscillation device 39 may be an ultrasonic oscillation device disposed inside the rear wall of the instant freezing chamber, and may be configured to apply ultrasonic waves to the storage in the supercooling release stage, promote the storage to be supercooled and rapidly and uniformly crystallized by using cavitation effect of the ultrasonic waves, accelerate the maximum ice crystal generation zone passing through the storage, well protect the integrity of cells of the storage, and greatly improve the freezing quality of the storage. Preferably, the wall surface of the compartment of the instant freezing chamber is made of special materials such as metal, so that potential safety hazards caused by leakage of electricity, magnetism and the like can be shielded.
The ultrasonic oscillation device can be further optimized, and the ultrasonic oscillation device can be started after the first cooling stage of the multi-stage cooling and supercooling process, so that the stored material can be subjected to physical oscillation through the rear wall of the instant freezing chamber. Such oscillations are also valuable for increasing the degree of supercooling, ensuring adequate supercooling.
As is well known to those skilled in the art, the ultrasonic generator is composed of a power transformer, an oscillator, a power amplifier, etc., and since the specific structure of the ultrasonic oscillation device itself is not the focus of the protection of the present application and is already the prior art, the present application will not be repeated.
In the present embodiment, an oscillation device 39 is provided, and the oscillation device 39 is an oscillation device that can generate mechanical oscillation. The oscillating device includes a pulse power source, an oscillating motor, an oscillatable bracket, and an oscillation conducting mechanism 121. The oscillating motor is connected with the oscillating bracket, when the oscillating device is controlled to start working, the pulse power supply applies pulse voltage to the oscillating motor, and the oscillating motor drives the oscillating bracket to horizontally reciprocate for a preset time with a preset oscillating amplitude. The oscillatable bracket and the oscillating motor can be arranged in the instant freezing chamber 12, and the pulse power supply can be arranged in the instant freezing chamber 12 or outside the instant freezing chamber 12. When the oscillation device 39 is controlled to start working, the oscillation device 39 applies an oscillation action to the oscillating bracket, the oscillation conduction mechanism 121 is arranged on one side of the instant freezing storage area box 120 used for storing objects in the instant freezing chamber, connection between the oscillating bracket and the instant freezing storage area box 120 used for storing objects in the instant freezing chamber 12 is achieved, the oscillation conduction mechanism 121 can conduct the mechanical oscillation action of the oscillation bracket to the box of the storage objects, so that the box of the storage objects mechanically oscillates and drives the storage objects in the instant freezing storage area box 120 to mechanically oscillate together, and the supercooled non-frozen state of the storage objects, particularly foods, in the supercooled state is destroyed through the mechanical oscillation, so that the supercooled state of the storage objects, particularly foods, to be stored in the instant freezing state is relieved.
As shown in fig. 4, when the preferred embodiment of the refrigeration system is used, the flow direction of the refrigerant is: compressor 23, condenser 24, anti-condensation tube 25, dry filter 26, electrically operated switching valve 28, capillary tube set 270 (capillaries 1-271 or capillaries 2-272), freeze evaporator 21, muffler assembly 220, compressor 23.
Preferably, the condenser 24 in this embodiment is further provided with a condenser fan 38 for enhancing the heat release of condensation.
The throttle device in this embodiment employs the capillary group 270, and switching of the capillary group and adjustment of the total throttle amount can be controlled by a control valve such as a three-way valve or an electric switching valve, or the like. In the present embodiment, a flow path control valve, that is, an electrically operated switching valve 28 in fig. 4 and 3 is provided in the capillary group 270 to adjust the flow rate of the capillary group. The capillary group is formed by combining capillaries with different pipe diameters, and the smaller the pipe diameter of the capillaries is, the stronger the throttling is. The flow path control valve can adjust the flow rate of the capillary group. In the present series of patent applications, two capillaries of different specifications are provided in the refrigeration system: the capillary tubes 1-271 and 2-272 reduce the flow rate of the capillary tube group when the supercooling process is released, and can reduce the temperature of the cold air, increase the amount of cold supply to the stored material in the instant freezer, and release the supercooling. When the refrigerating capacity of the instant freezing chamber is regulated only by changing the flow of the capillary group, the cooling capacity is maximum when the flow of the capillary group reaches the minimum value capable of maintaining the normal operation of the refrigerating system.
Preferably, an air duct is further formed in the refrigerator in this embodiment, and the cooling fan provides cool air cooled and dehumidified by the evaporator to the instant freezing chamber through the air duct to realize instant freezing of food stored in the instant freezing chamber. The air duct is communicated with an air inlet of the instant freezing chamber, and the air inlet is provided with an air door of the instant freezing chamber and a refrigerating fan for providing power for cold air entering the instant freezing chamber. The temperature of the instant freezing chamber can be adjusted by periodically opening and closing the air door of the instant freezing chamber. The refrigerating fan and the instantaneous freezing chamber air door are opened and closed as required and the air quantity is adjusted.
As shown in fig. 5, to achieve the above-described instant freezing function of the refrigeration apparatus, the present embodiment further provides a control unit 30 for performing instant freezing control, the control unit including: the controller 31, the display 32, the temperature sensor 33, the temperature regulating device 34, the infrared sensor 35, the frequency conversion board 36, the timer 37, the condenser fan 38, the oscillating device 39 and the electric switching valve 28 are respectively in control connection, wherein the controller 31 is respectively connected with the display 32, the temperature sensor 33, the temperature regulating device 34, the infrared sensor 35, the frequency conversion board 36, the timer 37, the condenser fan 38, the oscillating device 39 and the electric switching valve 28. The timer 37 counts the preset stop time of the working time of each section of the compressor, the controller 31 starts and stops the compressor or further controls the rotation speed according to the preset stage and the preset time, and when the rotation speed control is needed, the frequency conversion board 36 regulates the rotation speed of the compressor 23 by sending a compressor rotation speed regulating command to the frequency conversion board 36. What needs to be further explained is: the inverter board in this embodiment is only one example of the compressor rotation speed adjusting device, and it should not be understood that the use of the inverter board is the only means and necessary means for adjusting the rotation speed of the compressor according to the present invention.
Further, the user may select the instant freeze function via the display 32, and the control system performs an instant freeze chamber control method when the user selects the instant freeze function. Further, the control unit may further utilize the temperature adjusting device 34 to adjust the temperature of the instant freezing chamber according to one or more parameters of the ambient temperature, the type of the stored material, the initial temperature, the weight, the volume, etc., so as to adjust the preset cooling stage number, the multi-stage cooling duration and the preset accumulated working time of the compressor. Of course, this is not a necessary condition for the implementation of the present invention, and the starting of the instant freezing function is performed directly according to the preset steps in the controller according to the preset type of the stored material in the instant freezing chamber, the maximum storage capacity and the maximum refrigerating load of the instant freezing chamber, the cooling duration in the pre-cooling stage and each stage, the accumulated working duration and the duty ratio of the compressor.
Further, in order to ensure the reliability of the operation control of each stage of the instant freezing process, the present invention does not exclude the provision of a temperature sensor 33 such as a thermistor for detecting the temperature of the instant freezing chamber and transmitting the temperature information of the instant freezing chamber to the controller 31, and the provision of a non-contact infrared sensor 35 for monitoring the temperature of the stored matter and transmitting the temperature information of the stored matter to the controller 31 to assist the controller in controlling each stage of the process according to a timer.
The following gives a specific control method example of the embodiment of the refrigeration equipment according to the present invention, so that the cooling process can be uniformly cooled, the technical problems that the cooling depth is shallow, the cooling state cannot be well entered, and the cooling is released in advance are avoided (but this does not mean that the control equipment according to the present invention must use the following control method, nor that the control method must be implemented by using the refrigeration equipment with the above structure).
Specifically, the control unit controls the refrigeration equipment to realize the instant freezing function according to the following implementation example, and mainly comprises three process stages, namely a staged cooling and supercooling process, a supercooling release process and a conventional refrigeration preservation process, wherein the staged cooling and supercooling process is adopted in the supercooling and cooling process, and the staged cooling and supercooling process of the instant freezing chamber is controlled by controlling the accumulated working time and the duty ratio of each stage of the compressor, and the control unit is specific:
the staged cooling and supercooling process comprises m cooling stages, wherein m is more than or equal to 2, and m is a natural number;
each cooling stage of the m stages is provided with a preset accumulated working time length of the compressor corresponding to the stage; the compressor is controlled to work stage by stage according to the preset accumulated working time length of each stage;
In each cooling stage, controlling the intermittent operation of the compressor and calculating the working time length of the compressor; the preset accumulated working time length of the compressor in the nth stage is recorded as

Wherein t is n i represents the working time of the ith startup of the compressor in the nth stage; i is more than or equal to 1 and is a natural number;

Then, automatically entering an n+1th descending section to cool the next stage until the preset accumulated working time length of the last m stage is finished +.>
Figure BDA0002253951480000243
When the stored object is in the supercooling release process, supercooling release operation is executed;
in order to improve the uniformity of cooling the storage and the control precision in the multi-stage cooling process, it is further preferred in the above embodiment that each cooling stage of m stages is provided with a preset stage cooling duration; in the cooling time period of each preset stage, the compressor is controlled to start and stop for preset single start time period, preset running period and preset accumulated working time period; the compressor is periodically operated step by step according to the preset stage cooling time length, the preset operation period, the preset single start time length and the preset accumulated working time length. For example, when the compressor is operated in the nth stage, the preset operation period is t n i ", presetting the accumulated working time length as

i is more than or equal to 1 and is a natural number; i is more than or equal to 1 and is a natural number;
preferably, the intermittent operation of the compressor is periodically started and stopped, the working period of the compressor in the nth stage is the sum of the starting time and the stopping time of the period, and the stopping time of the period is defined as t n The i', i.e. the n-th stage compressor duty cycle is: t is t n i"=t n i+t n i'。
The supercooling minimum temperature is the minimum temperature of the stored supercooling process, the supercooling state near the minimum temperature becomes more unstable, and in order to secure a sufficient supercooling degree and a sufficient supercooling time, the control of the compressor is further optimized as: the more the temperature of the instant freezing chamber approaches the supercooled minimum temperature of the storage, the larger the duty cycle of the compressor is, and the longer the preset accumulated working time period is. I.e. at least the compressor from stage 2 onwards, the duty cycle ≡n+1 of stage n+1 is greater than the duty cycle ≡n of stage n, i.e. ≡n+1>A preset single start-up duration t of a preset operation period of the compressor in a (n, n+1) th stage n+1 i is greater than the preset work cycle work time length t of the nth stage n i, namely: t is t n+1 i>t n i. It is further preferable that the compressor is controlled to adopt a larger compressor duty ratio and a preset accumulated working time period in the cooling 1 st stage, that is, the pre-cooling stage, than in the 2 nd to m th stages of the multi-stage cooling process, so as to better ensure the supercooling freezing effect, to reduce the temperature uniformity of the stored object and to avoid the occurrence of surface skin cracking. Still further preferably, the present embodiment controls the duty cycle ≡1 of the cooling and supercooling process of the compressor at the 1 st stage to be maximum, and the accumulated working time of the compressor
