Background
The refrigerator is a refrigeration device which keeps constant low temperature, brings convenience to food preservation, can prolong the preservation time of food when the temperature of the food reaches the freezing temperature (such as less than or equal to-18 ℃), so that food such as meat, fish and the like which needs to be preserved for a long time is usually placed in a freezing chamber or a temperature-changing chamber (the temperature-changing chamber reaches the freezing temperature), but because the temperature of the freezing chamber is low, the moisture in the food such as meat, fish and the like placed in the freezing or temperature-changing chamber is frozen, can not be used for cooking immediately, and needs to be thawed first. The thawing schemes for general users are as follows:
firstly, before cooking, taking out frozen food, naturally thawing by using the heat of the environment, and wasting a long time for a pain point of a user;
secondly, the food is heated by utilizing heat generated by hot water or microwaves and the like, so that the thawing time can be saved, the food thawing speed is too high due to the fact that the temperature of external heat is too high at a pain point of a user, the cell walls of the food are easy to break, a large amount of blood water is generated, the loss of nutritional ingredients is increased, and a large amount of energy is consumed by heat sources such as hot water and microwaves;
thirdly, food to be defrosted is placed into the refrigerating chamber, the pain point is that the refrigerating chamber needs available space, and the food is carried manually, and the unfreezing needs long time and is troublesome and laborious.
In order to solve the pain point of the user in the using process, in some existing refrigerator products, a temperature-changing chamber is set to be wide in temperature changing range, when the temperature-adjusting range of the temperature-changing chamber spans 0 ℃, and when the temperature-adjusting range of the temperature-changing chamber is set below 0 ℃ (for example, the temperature-changing chamber is set at minus 20 ℃), the temperature-changing chamber can normally refrigerate through the cold energy of an evaporator, but when the temperature is set to be normal (for example, the temperature is set at 5 ℃), the temperature of a compartment can be kept to be normal only by depending on the heat of a heater. And the adjacent compartments are normally refrigerated, the temperature change chamber needs to be heated by a heater, the temperature change heater consumes electricity, energy is wasted, and meanwhile, the temperature change chamber can transfer heat to the adjacent compartments, so that the heat load of the adjacent compartments is increased, and the energy consumption of the whole machine is further increased.

Compared with the prior art, the energy-saving refrigerator and the quick thawing method and system thereof provided by the embodiment of the invention have the beneficial effects that:
the invention uses the shared evaporator (namely the temperature-changing evaporator) of the temperature-changing chamber and the refrigerating chamber, and simultaneously refrigerates two compartments of the temperature-changing chamber and the refrigerating chamber through the circulating air path under the action of wind pressure generated by the fan; when the temperature-changing chamber is set to be at negative temperature (such as minus 20 ℃), the function of the temperature-changing chamber is the same as that of a freezing chamber of a common air-cooled refrigerator, the requirement of the temperature-changing chamber for freezing food can be met, when the temperature-changing chamber is set to be at positive temperature (such as 5 ℃), the refrigeration of the temperature-changing evaporator can be reduced through the switching control of the electromagnetic valve, and meanwhile, the refrigeration requirements of the refrigerating chamber and the temperature-changing chamber under the positive temperature setting are met; when the temperature of the refrigerating chamber is higher than that of the temperature-changing chamber and the temperature-changing chamber needs to be rapidly heated, the cold energy of the temperature-changing chamber can be preferentially consumed, namely, under the condition that the temperature-changing evaporator does not refrigerate, a refrigerating air door is opened, the temperature-changing fan runs, the temperature of the temperature-changing chamber is rapidly raised by utilizing the air circulation of the temperature-changing chamber and the refrigerating chamber, the cold energy of the temperature-changing chamber also supports refrigeration of the refrigerating chamber, and frozen food in the temperature-changing chamber can be rapidly thawed under the condition that an external heat source (such as a heater) is not depended on.

In summary, compared with the prior art, the energy-saving refrigerator and the quick thawing method and system thereof provided by the embodiment of the invention have the following advantages:
(1) the temperature-variable chamber can meet the functional use of a refrigerating chamber and a freezing chamber, and meets the diversified requirements of users;
(2) when the temperature-variable chamber is set to be at the normal temperature, the heat source of the temperature-variable chamber comes from the self environmental heat load and the heat of the food in the refrigerating chamber, and the external heat sources such as an external heater and the like are not relied on, so that the frozen food in the temperature-variable chamber is quickly thawed, the energy consumption of the whole machine is greatly saved, and the material cost of the product is also saved;
(3) when the temperature-variable chamber is switched from negative temperature to positive temperature, the redundant cold energy of the temperature-variable chamber is preferentially used for refrigerating the refrigerating chamber, and the cold source is reasonably utilized;
(4) food in the temperature changing chamber is unfrozen through forced convection heat exchange generated by disturbance of the temperature changing fan, so that the heat exchange efficiency is higher, and the unfreezing time is greatly saved;
(5) because the refrigeration air is preferentially adopted to circularly heat the food in the temperature changing chamber, the situation that the surface of the food is deteriorated due to overhigh temperature of an external heat source is avoided, the temperature rises steadily, and the loss of food nutrients due to the rupture of food cell walls caused by overhigh temperature rise is avoided;
(6) after food in the variable temperature chamber is thawed, the variable temperature evaporator normally works, the temperature of the variable temperature chamber can be always kept in a set range, the phenomenon that the local temperature of the food is too high due to thawing reasons is avoided, food preservation is facilitated, and meanwhile, due to the fact that the humidity is lower when the refrigerating chamber operates stably, inconvenience brought to users due to a large amount of condensed water generated by thawing of the food is avoided.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, and these modifications and substitutions should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
