Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a refrigeration apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a block diagram schematically illustrating a refrigeration system of a refrigeration apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a control method for a refrigeration apparatus. The refrigeration equipment can comprise a compressor 10, a refrigeration evaporator 31 arranged in a refrigeration chamber and a freezing evaporator 32 arranged in a freezing chamber, wherein the compressor 10 is respectively connected with the refrigeration evaporator 31 and the freezing evaporator 32 through an electric valve 20, and a refrigeration outlet and a freezing outlet of the electric valve 20 can be alternately opened so as to respectively convey refrigerant compressed by the compressor 10 to the refrigeration evaporator 31 and the freezing evaporator 32. The control method for the refrigeration equipment can comprise the following steps:
in step S11, in a case where both the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment request cooling, a first temperature difference between a current refrigerating compartment temperature of the refrigerating compartment and a refrigerating target temperature and a second temperature difference between a current freezing compartment temperature of the freezing compartment and a freezing target temperature are determined.
Step S12, opening the refrigeration outlet of the electric valve to convey the refrigerant to the refrigeration evaporator under the condition that the first temperature difference is larger than or equal to the second temperature difference; and in the case that the first temperature difference is smaller than the second temperature difference, opening a freezing outlet of the electric valve to convey the refrigerant to the freezing evaporator.
So, all request under the refrigerated condition when refrigeration plant's walk-in and freezer, can confirm that the priority refrigerates to which room according to the difference of the current room temperature of walk-in and freezer and the target temperature that corresponds to can ensure that refrigeration plant's cold volume distributes more rationally, and then more be favorable to the food storage, and improve user's use and experience.
In particular, the refrigeration device may be a refrigerator or freezer or the like, and the refrigeration device may comprise at least two compartments, a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment. A refrigerating evaporator 31 may be provided in the refrigerating chamber, and a freezing evaporator 32 may be provided in the freezing chamber. The refrigerating evaporator 31 and the freezing evaporator 32 share one compressor 10, and the compressor 10 may be connected to the refrigerating evaporator 31 and the freezing evaporator 32 through an electric valve 20, respectively. The electric valve 20 has an inlet and two outlets, the inlet of the electric valve 20 is connected to the compressor 10, the refrigerating outlet is connected to the inlet of the refrigerating evaporator 31, and the freezing outlet is connected to the inlet of the freezing evaporator 32. The refrigeration outlet and the freezing outlet of the electric valve 20 can be alternatively communicated, and when the refrigeration outlet is communicated, the refrigerant compressed by the compressor 10 can be conveyed to the refrigeration evaporator 31 to refrigerate the refrigeration chamber; when the freezing outlet is turned on, the refrigerant compressed by the compressor 10 may be delivered to the freezing evaporator 32 to cool the freezing chamber. A refrigerating temperature sensor for detecting a temperature inside the refrigerating chamber (i.e., a refrigerating compartment temperature) and a freezing temperature sensor for detecting a temperature inside the freezing compartment (i.e., a freezing compartment temperature) may be respectively provided in the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment. The refrigerating chamber requests refrigeration under the condition that the temperature of the refrigerating chamber reaches the temperature of a refrigerating starting point; in the case where the freezing compartment temperature reaches the freezing start-up point temperature, the freezing compartment requests cooling.
In the working process of the refrigerating equipment, under the condition that the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber simultaneously request refrigeration, the current refrigerating chamber temperature of the refrigerating chamber and the current freezing chamber temperature of the freezing chamber can be respectively obtained from the refrigerating temperature sensor and the freezing temperature sensor, and the refrigerating target temperature of the refrigerating chamber and the freezing target temperature of the freezing chamber are determined according to the refrigerating gear or the refrigerating temperature set by a user. Thereafter, a first temperature difference between the refrigerating compartment temperature and the refrigerating target temperature and a second temperature difference between the freezing compartment temperature and the freezing target temperature are determined. After determining the first temperature difference and the second temperature difference, the first temperature difference and the second temperature difference may be compared. If the first temperature difference is greater than or equal to the second temperature difference, it indicates that the current temperature of the refrigerating chamber is farther from the target temperature, and thus the refrigerating outlet of the electric valve 20 may be opened to deliver the refrigerant to the refrigerating evaporator 31, thereby refrigerating the refrigerating chamber. If the first temperature difference is less than the second temperature difference, indicating that the current temperature of the freezer compartment is further away from the target temperature, the freezer outlet of the electric valve 20 may be opened to deliver refrigerant to the freezer evaporator 32 to cool the freezer compartment.
Wherein, the cold storage outlet or the freezing outlet can be kept in the opening state for a preset time after being opened every time. After the cold storage outlet or the freezing outlet is opened for a preset time, the first temperature difference and the second temperature difference are determined again, and the outlet, which needs to be opened, of the electric valve 20 is determined according to the comparison result of the first temperature difference and the second temperature difference. In this way, frequent switching of the electric valve 20 between opening different outlets can be avoided, thereby prolonging the service life of the electric valve 20. For example, after the cold storage outlet is opened for a preset time period, the current cold storage room temperature and the current freezing room temperature can be obtained again, and the first temperature difference and the second temperature difference can be determined according to the obtained cold storage room temperature and the obtained freezing room temperature. If the redetermined first temperature difference is greater than or equal to the second temperature difference, the opening of the refrigerating outlet of the electric valve 20 is maintained again for the preset time period, and if the redetermined first temperature difference is less than the second temperature difference, the electric valve 20 opens the freezing outlet and the refrigerating outlet is closed. The preset time period may range from 6 minutes to 10 minutes, for example, the preset time period may be 6 minutes, 7 minutes, or 8 minutes.
In the process of opening the refrigeration outlet of the electric valve 20, if the temperature of the refrigeration compartment reaches the target refrigeration temperature, the refrigeration outlet of the electric valve 20 (i.e., the electric valve is switched from the refrigeration outlet opening to the freezing outlet opening) and/or the compressor 10 is immediately closed. Accordingly, in the process of opening the freezing outlet of the electric valve 20, if the freezing compartment temperature of the freezing compartment reaches the freezing target temperature, the freezing outlet of the electric valve 20 (i.e., the electric valve is switched from the freezing outlet opening to the refrigerating outlet opening) and/or the compressor 10 is immediately closed.
Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a refrigeration apparatus according to an alternative embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, in an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the control method may further include:
in step S21, a first number of times that the refrigerating compartment reaches a refrigerating target temperature and a second number of times that the freezing compartment reaches a freezing target temperature are acquired.
Step S22, if at least one of the first frequency and the second frequency is zero, if the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber both request cooling, the outlet of the electric valve corresponding to the higher priority one of the refrigerating evaporator and the freezing evaporator is controlled to be opened.
Specifically, after the refrigeration apparatus is powered on, the number of times the refrigerating compartment reaches the refrigerating target temperature (i.e., the first number) and the number of times the freezing compartment reaches the freezing target temperature (i.e., the second number) may be acquired. If either of the first and second times is zero, i.e., at least one of the fresh food and freezer compartments never reaches its corresponding target temperature, it is an indication that the refrigeration appliance was first powered up and that the temperatures of the fresh food and freezer compartments are both high. At this time, if both the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment request cooling, the outlet, which the electric valve 20 needs to be opened, may be determined according to the priorities of the refrigerating evaporator 31 and the freezing evaporator 32. For example, if the refrigerating evaporator 31 has a higher priority than the freezing evaporator 32, i.e. needs to preferentially cool the refrigerating compartment, the refrigerating outlet of the electric valve 20 is opened first to deliver refrigerant to the refrigerating evaporator 31 to cool the refrigerating compartment in case that both the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment require cooling after the refrigerating apparatus is powered on for the first time. After the temperature of the refrigerating chamber reaches the refrigerating target temperature, the electric valve 20 is switched to a freezing outlet to be opened so as to deliver the refrigerant to the freezing evaporator 32 to refrigerate the freezing chamber, and after the temperature of the freezing chamber reaches the freezing target temperature, the compressor 10 is closed.
In some embodiments, the refrigeration evaporator 31 may be prioritized over the freezing evaporator 32. In this case, the freezing evaporator may be connected in series to the rear side of the refrigerating evaporator. For example, as shown in fig. 2, the outlet of the compressor 10 may be connected to the inlet of the electric valve 20, the inlet of the refrigerating evaporator 31 may be connected to the refrigerating outlet of the electric valve 20, and the inlet of the freezing evaporator 32 may be connected to the outlet of the refrigerating evaporator 31 and the freezing outlet of the electric valve 20, respectively. Thus, the refrigerant is supplied to the freezing evaporator 32 after passing through the refrigerating evaporator 31, and the refrigerating chamber is cooled and the freezing chamber is slowly cooled. Note that, in fig. 2, solid lines indicate refrigerant delivery lines, arrows indicate the flow direction of refrigerant, and broken lines indicate electric control connection lines.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a refrigeration apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 4 and 2, in one embodiment of the present invention, the outlet of the compressor 10 is connected to the inlet of the electric valve 20, the inlet of the refrigeration evaporator 31 is connected to the refrigeration outlet of the electric valve 20, and the inlet of the freezing evaporator 32 is connected to the outlet of the refrigeration evaporator 31 and the freezing outlet of the electric valve 20, respectively, that is, the freezing evaporator 32 is connected in series to the rear side of the refrigeration evaporator 31. After the refrigeration equipment is powered on, an instruction of requesting refrigeration of the refrigerating chamber and/or the freezing chamber can be obtained, and whether the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber reach respective corresponding target temperatures or not is judged.
If at least one of the fresh food compartment and the freezer compartment never reaches its corresponding target temperature, it is an indication that the refrigeration appliance was first powered up, when the temperatures of both the fresh food compartment and the freezer compartment are high. In this case, since the target temperature of the refrigerating compartment is relatively higher and the freezing evaporator 32 is generally connected in series to the rear side of the refrigerating evaporator 31, the refrigerating compartment may be preferentially cooled such that the refrigerating compartment reaches the refrigerating target temperature first. At this time, since the freezing evaporator 32 is connected in series to the rear side of the refrigerating evaporator 31, the freezing chamber is also cooled slowly. Specifically, when the refrigerating chamber requests refrigeration, the refrigerating outlet of the electric valve 20 is opened and the compressor 10 is started, regardless of whether the freezing chamber requests refrigeration or not; when the refrigerating chamber does not request refrigeration but the freezing chamber requests refrigeration, the freezing outlet of the electric valve 20 is opened and the compressor 10 is started; when neither the refrigerating chamber nor the freezing chamber requests cooling, the compressor 10 is turned off and the electric valve 20 is switched to the freezing outlet opening state.
If both the fresh food compartment and the freezer compartment have reached their respective target temperatures, this indicates that the refrigeration appliance is currently operating steadily. When the refrigerating equipment is in a stable operation state, when the refrigerating chamber requests refrigeration but the freezing chamber does not request refrigeration, the refrigerating outlet of the electric valve 20 is opened and the compressor 10 is started to refrigerate the refrigerating chamber; when the freezing chamber requests cooling but the refrigerating chamber does not request cooling, the freezing outlet of the electric valve 20 is opened and the compressor 10 is turned on to cool the freezing chamber. When neither the refrigerating chamber nor the freezing chamber requests cooling, the compressor 10 is turned off and the electric valve 20 is switched to the freezing outlet opening state. When both the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment request cooling, the current refrigerating compartment temperature TR1 and the refrigerating target temperature TR2 are acquired, and the current freezing compartment temperature TF1 and the freezing target temperature TF2 are acquired. Subsequently, a first temperature difference TR-TR 1-TR2 between the refrigerating compartment temperature and the refrigerating target temperature and a second temperature difference TF-TF 1-TF2 between the freezing compartment temperature and the freezing target temperature are calculated. Then, the magnitude of the first temperature difference TR and the second temperature difference TF are compared. If TR > is TF, the current temperature of the refrigerating chamber is more distant from the target temperature which needs to be reached by the refrigerating chamber, namely the urgency degree of the refrigerating chamber for requesting refrigeration is higher, therefore, the refrigerating outlet of the electric valve 20 is opened, the freezing outlet is closed, and the refrigerating chamber is preferentially refrigerated. If TR < TF, it indicates that the current temperature of the freezing chamber is farther from the target temperature that the freezing chamber needs to reach, i.e. the urgency of the freezing chamber requesting cooling is higher, so the freezing outlet of the electric valve 20 is opened and the refrigerating outlet is closed, and the freezing chamber is preferentially cooled. In addition, in order to avoid frequent switching of the electric valve 20 between opening the refrigeration outlet and opening the freezing outlet due to the relatively close first temperature difference TR and the second temperature difference TF, the opening of the refrigeration outlet may be maintained for a preset time (for example, 8 minutes) after the electric valve 20 is switched to the refrigeration outlet opening or the freezing outlet opening each time, unless the compartment corresponding to the refrigeration outlet does not request cooling any more. So, after refrigeration plant steady operation, can request refrigerated urgent degree control motorised valve 20 corresponding export to open according to different compartments to carry out rational distribution to the cold volume of each compartment, and then more be favorable to the storage of food among the refrigeration plant, improve user's use and experience, still have energy-conserving power saving's effect simultaneously.
