When any one or any two or three of the first refrigeration subspace 21, the second refrigeration subspace 22 and the third refrigeration subspace 23 has refrigeration requirements, the refrigeration evaporator 13 is controlled to generate refrigeration, and air flow circulating between the air duct 11 and the refrigeration subspace with the refrigeration requirements is generated by matching the fan 12 and the air door.
Specifically, the refrigerating evaporator 13 is controlled to generate cooling energy by operating a compressor and flowing a refrigerant through the refrigerating evaporator 13. The refrigeration evaporator 13 is controlled not to generate cold by a method in which the refrigerant does not flow through the evaporator 13.
As shown in fig. 4, the refrigerator of the present embodiment further includes:
and the storage module is used for recording the starting-up and stopping time of the compressor and the refrigerating time of all refrigerating subspaces in the same refrigerating chamber.
In this embodiment, the storage module is used to record the refrigerating time of the first refrigerating subspace 21, the refrigerating time of the second refrigerating subspace 22, and the refrigerating time of the third refrigerating subspace 23.
The refrigeration time of the first refrigeration subspace 21 refers to the time that the refrigeration evaporator 13 is controlled to generate cold energy, and the fan 12 and the air door are controlled to generate air flow circulating between the air duct 11 and the first refrigeration subspace 21; the refrigerating time of the second refrigerating subspace 22 refers to the time when the refrigerating evaporator 13 is controlled to generate cold energy and the fan 12 and the air door are controlled to generate air flow circulating between the air duct 11 and the second refrigerating subspace 22; the refrigeration time of the third refrigeration subspace 23 refers to the time when the refrigeration evaporator 13 is controlled to generate refrigeration and the fan 12 and the air door are controlled to generate air flow circulating between the air duct 11 and the third refrigeration subspace 23.
The starting and stopping accumulated time of the compressor refers to the starting and stopping accumulated time of the compressor of the refrigerator under all conditions, and refrigeration starting, freezing starting or variable temperature starting is not distinguished.
And the control module is used for judging the relationship between the accumulated refrigerating time of all the refrigerating subspaces in the same refrigerating room and the first preset time and judging the relationship between the starting time and the stopping time of the compressor and the second preset time. When the accumulated refrigerating time of all the refrigerating subspaces in the same refrigerating chamber reaches a first preset time, and when the accumulated refrigerating time of all the refrigerating subspaces in the same refrigerating chamber does not reach the first preset time and the accumulated starting-up and stopping time of the compressor reaches a second preset time, a control signal is output to the refrigerating evaporator 13, the fan 12 and the air door to control the refrigerating evaporator 13 to be in a defrosting state.
The accumulated refrigerating time of all the refrigerating subspaces in the same refrigerating compartment comprises the refrigerating time of independent refrigeration of each refrigerating subspace and the refrigerating time of simultaneous refrigeration of at least two refrigerating subspaces.
For example, the refrigeration time of the first refrigeration compartment 21 is 10: 20-10: 45. 11: 10-11: 30, of a nitrogen-containing gas; the refrigeration time of the second refrigeration compartment 22 is 10: 30-10: 40. 10: 50-11: 00. the cumulative refrigerating time of all the refrigerating spaces is 10min (10: 20-10: 30 refrigerating time of independent refrigeration of the first refrigerating subspace) +10min (10: 30-10: 40 refrigerating time of simultaneous refrigeration of the second refrigerating subspace and the first refrigerating subspace) +5min (10: 40-10: 45 refrigerating time of independent refrigeration of the first refrigerating subspace) +10min (10: 50-11: 00 refrigerating time of independent refrigeration of the second refrigerating subspace) +20min (11: 10-11: 30 refrigerating time of independent refrigeration of the first refrigerating subspace).
The state of the refrigeration evaporator 13 in the defrosting state is as follows: the refrigeration evaporator 13 is controlled not to generate cold energy, the fan 12 and the air flow generated by the air door are controlled to circulate between the air duct 11 and the first refrigeration subspace 21, and the air with higher temperature in the first refrigeration subspace 21 is utilized to defrost the refrigeration evaporator 13.
The first preset time is a time which is determined in advance through experiments and can ensure the refrigeration demand temperature of the second refrigeration subspace 22 and the defrosting of the refrigeration evaporator 13 is started.
The first preset time can be any value within 50-150min according to different environmental temperatures, if the time is less than 50min, the second refrigerating subspace 22 cannot realize negative temperature, and if the time is more than 150min, the refrigerating evaporator 13 has a frosting hidden danger.
Preferably, the first preset time is 90 min.
The second preset time is a time when the cumulative time of the first refrigerating subspace 21, which is experimentally determined in advance, does not reach the first preset time and the evaporator starts defrosting.
The second predetermined time is the average of the experimental tests at low loop temperature (e.g., 10 degrees). The second preset time is any value within 200-600min, and beyond the range, the refrigeration evaporator 13 has the frosting hidden trouble.
Preferably, the second preset time is 480 min.
When the cooling time of the first cooling subspace 21 overlaps with the cooling time of the remaining cooling subspaces, the cooling time of the first cooling subspace 21 is taken as the accumulated cooling time.
As shown in fig. 6, the first cooling subspace 21 is cold-set with the normal gear (4 ℃ gear), and both the second cooling subspace 22 and the third cooling subspace 23 are closed. At this time, only the first refrigeration subspace 21 is refrigerated and started, the refrigeration is started for about 36min for a single time, the start and stop are carried out for 3 times, the third time is not completed, namely the 90min limit value is reached, and the refrigeration evaporator 13 is in a defrosting state. Defrosting interval 243 min.
As shown in fig. 7, the first refrigeration subspace 21 is refrigerated and set to a normal gear (4 ℃), the second refrigeration subspace 22 is refrigerated and set to a deepest gear (a-3 ℃), the refrigeration startup time is 27min, and the variable temperature startup time is about 8 min. The refrigeration start-up and the temperature-changing start-up are overlapped, the refrigeration is continuously started up for 3 times, the accumulative limit value is reached for 90min, and the refrigeration evaporator 13 is in a defrosting state. Defrosting interval is 320 min.
As shown in fig. 8, the first cooling subspace 21 is cold-stored and set to a high gear, and the number of times of starting is small, and a single start is about 15 min. The second refrigeration subspace 22 is set at a variable temperature with a deep gear (the gear at minus 3 ℃), and the start and stop are very frequent. The second refrigeration subspace 22 is powered on for about 5 minutes a single time. The first refrigeration subspace 21 is started once, the second refrigeration subspace is continuously started for 15 times, the accumulated limit value is reached for 90min, and the refrigeration evaporator 13 is in a defrosting state. Defrosting interval is 338 min.
As shown in fig. 9, when the ambient temperature is relatively low (10 ℃), the first cooling subspace 21 is refrigerated and set to a high gear, and the first cooling subspace 21 is not substantially turned on. Even if the second cooling subspace 22 is set to the lowest gear, the startup time is only 7min, which is very short. And when the second cooling subspace 22 is closed, the defrosting mode cannot be entered. At this time, the running time of the refrigerator (the cumulative time of starting and stopping the compressor) is calculated to reach 480min (8 h), and forced air is blown to defrost once.
The refrigerator also comprises an evaporator temperature detection module for detecting the temperature of the refrigeration evaporator 13, when the temperature of the refrigeration evaporator 13 is greater than the temperature set value of the evaporator, the refrigeration evaporator 13 finishes the defrosting state, and the refrigerator enters the normal operation state.
The embodiment also provides a refrigerator control method:
and recording the starting time and the stopping time of the compressor and the refrigerating time of all the refrigerating subspaces in the same refrigerating chamber.
When the accumulated refrigerating time of all the refrigerating subspaces in the same refrigerating chamber reaches a first preset time, and when the accumulated refrigerating time of all the refrigerating subspaces in the same refrigerating chamber does not reach the first preset time and the accumulated starting and stopping time of the compressor reaches a second preset time, the evaporator is in a defrosting state.
The accumulated refrigerating time of all the refrigerating subspaces in the same refrigerating compartment comprises the refrigerating time of independent refrigeration of each refrigerating subspace and the refrigerating time of simultaneous refrigeration of at least two refrigerating subspaces.
The evaporator is in a defrosting state as follows: the evaporator is controlled not to generate cold energy, and the air flow generated by the fan and the air door is controlled to circulate between the air channel and the first refrigerating subspace.
The first preset time is the time which is determined in advance through experiments and can ensure the refrigeration demand temperature of the second refrigeration subspace and the defrosting of the evaporator.
The second preset time is the time that the accumulated refrigerating time of all the refrigerating subspaces in the same refrigerating chamber, which is measured in advance through experiments, does not reach the first preset time and the evaporator starts defrosting.
When the refrigerating time of the first refrigerating subspace is overlapped with the refrigerating time of the rest refrigerating subspaces, the refrigerating time of the first refrigerating subspace is used as the accumulated refrigerating time.
The first preset time is any value within 50-150 min; the second preset time is an arbitrary value within 200-600 min.
And acquiring the temperature of the evaporator, and controlling the evaporator to finish the defrosting state and the refrigerator to enter a normal running state when the temperature of the evaporator is greater than the set temperature value of the evaporator.
