The air-cooled refrigerator is also called a frost-free refrigerator, but the air-cooled refrigerator does not generate the frosting phenomenon, but the frost is basically condensed on the evaporator and is not condensed on the inner wall of the refrigerator. The evaporator of the air-cooled refrigerator is arranged in the refrigerator and is separated from the inner wall of the refrigerator. Therefore, the inner wall of the refrigerator does not frost, so the refrigerator is called frostless.

Detailed Description
In order that the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention can be more clearly understood, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to the appended drawings. In addition, the features of the embodiments and implementations of the present application may be combined with each other without conflict.
In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, however, the present invention may be practiced in other ways than those specifically described herein, and therefore the scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the refrigerator can be an air-cooled frost-free refrigerator and comprises a refrigerator body, a door body, an air duct, a fan, an evaporator, a compressor, a controller and the like.
The cabinet includes a storage chamber (which may be a refrigerating chamber or a freezing chamber), and the door body is pivotably mounted on the cabinet to open or close the storage chamber. The air duct is arranged in the box body and is provided with an air duct opening communicated with the storeroom, and the fan is arranged in the air duct and is used for sending cold air generated by the evaporator into the storeroom. The evaporator vaporizes the liquid refrigerant to absorb heat, thereby reducing the temperature of the air in the evaporator and generating cold air. The temperature sensor arranged on the surface of the evaporator is a fog melting sensor. The compressor compresses a gaseous refrigerant, raising the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant, causing the refrigerant to circulate through the system.
Under normal conditions (the subsequent normal conditions refer to the condition that a refrigerator door has no flash seams), the refrigerator carries out defrosting at the beginning of each fixed defrosting period.
The occurrence of the flash seam on the refrigerator door means that after the refrigerator door is closed (the refrigerator detects that the state of the refrigerator door is a closed state), a gap exists between the refrigerator door and the refrigerator body, so that cold air leaks.
Implementation mode one
Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart illustrating a control method for detecting a flash seam of a refrigerator door according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, includes:
step 101, detecting that a refrigerator is powered on and a refrigerator door is in a closed state;
step 102, judging whether the refrigerator meets defrosting conditions, if so, entering step 103, and if not, entering step 102;
step 103, starting a defrosting function of the refrigerator;
104, judging whether the defrosting is the first defrosting after the refrigerator is powered on and the refrigerator door is in a closed state or not, if so, entering a step 102, and if not, entering a step 105;
105, acquiring defrosting interval time I;
and step 106, judging whether the refrigerator door has a flash seam or not through the defrosting interval time I.
In the above embodiment, step 102 needs to determine whether the refrigerator meets a defrosting condition, and the defrosting condition of the refrigerator of the present invention may be that a frost blockage of an evaporator of the refrigerator is detected (see the content of the second embodiment specifically), or that the refrigerator has reached a normal defrosting time.
In addition, since the air outside the refrigerator door enters the inside of the refrigerator after the refrigerator door is opened, the minimum defrosting interval time may be preset at the time interval from the closing of the refrigerator door to the first defrosting of the refrigerator, and therefore, the time interval cannot be used to accurately determine whether the refrigerator door has a flash seam, and therefore, it is necessary to determine whether the current defrosting is the first defrosting after the refrigerator is powered on and the refrigerator door is in a closed state in step 104. Preferably, when judging whether the current defrosting is the first defrosting, a defrosting counter can be added, the defrosting counter is cleared after the refrigerator door is opened and closed each time, 1 is added to the defrosting counter after the defrosting function is started each time, then whether the defrosting counter is greater than 1 is judged, if so, the first defrosting is not the first defrosting, and if not, the first defrosting is represented.
The defrosting interval time I is acquired, via step 105. The defrosting interval time I can be obtained in two ways: recording the starting time of defrosting when the defrosting function is started every time, respectively acquiring the starting time of defrosting of the last two times, and calculating the difference value, namely the defrosting interval time I; and secondly, adding a timer, starting timing when the defrosting function is started, stopping timing when the defrosting function is started next time, wherein the time of the timer is defrosting interval time I. Of course, other prior art techniques for obtaining the defrosting interval time I may also be used.
Further, step 106 judges whether a flash seam exists in the refrigerator door through the defrosting interval time I, and specifically includes: and when the defrosting interval time I is less than the preset minimum defrosting interval time, judging that the refrigerator door has a flash seam.
In any of the above steps, if it is detected that the refrigerator door is opened or closed again, the current step is interrupted, and the process proceeds to step 101.
Because the refrigerator door has the flash crack after, the frost of the evaporimeter of refrigerator appears very easily stifled to lead to changing the frost interval time I to shorten by a wide margin, this embodiment is through detecting whether the refrigerator needs the defrosting and start the defrosting, then detects the defrosting interval time I, judges whether there is the flash crack in the refrigerator door through changing the frost interval time I, and detection method is simple, but detection effect is good.
Second embodiment
Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a control method for detecting whether or not frost is blocked in an evaporator according to a second embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that the occurrence of frost blockage in the evaporator means that a large amount of frost is formed on the surface of the evaporator, thereby seriously affecting the refrigeration effect of the refrigerator. As shown in fig. 2, the control method includes:
step 201, respectively obtaining real-time temperatures T1 and T2 of temperature sensors at an air return inlet and an air outlet of an evaporator, and calculating a difference D1 obtained by subtracting T2 from T1;
step 202, judging whether the difference value D1 is smaller than a first preset temperature difference, if so, entering step 203, otherwise, entering step 206;
step 203, judging whether the difference D1 is gradually reduced within a first preset time period, if so, entering step 204, and if not, entering step 206;
step 204, acquiring a real-time temperature T3 of a temperature sensor on the surface of the evaporator, judging whether T3 is greater than a second preset temperature, if so, entering step 205, and if not, entering step 206;
step 205, judging that the evaporator is frost-blocked, and ending the detection;
and step 206, judging that the evaporator is not frost-blocked, and ending the detection.
In the above embodiment, it is determined that the frost clogging of the evaporator has occurred only when the difference D1 is smaller than the first preset temperature difference, and the difference D1 is gradually decreased for the first predetermined period of time while T3 is greater than the second preset temperature, and otherwise, it is determined that the frost clogging of the evaporator has not occurred. When the difference D1 is smaller than the first preset temperature difference and the difference D1 gradually decreases within the first predetermined time period, it indicates that the refrigeration effect of the evaporator is poor and worse, but it cannot be determined whether the difference is caused by frost blockage or whether T3 is greater than the second preset temperature, i.e., whether the surface temperature T3 of the evaporator is increased (if frost blockage occurs on the surface of the evaporator, the heat transfer capability of the evaporator is seriously affected, and thus the surface temperature of the evaporator is increased).
Further, the step of "determining whether the difference D1 gradually decreases within the first predetermined time period" specifically includes: dividing the first preset time interval into at least two small segments, respectively selecting a value of each small segment D1, comparing the values of the small segments D1, and if the value of D1 is decreased according to the time increasing sequence, determining that the difference D1 is gradually decreased in the first preset time interval.
In any of the above steps, if it is detected that the refrigerator door is opened or closed again, the current step is interrupted, and the detection of whether the refrigerator door has a flash seam is restarted.
The control method for detecting whether the evaporator is frosted or not according to the embodiment can judge whether the evaporator is frosted or not according to the refrigeration effect of the evaporator and the surface temperature of the evaporator.
Third embodiment
When the flash seam of the refrigerator door is detected, the refrigerator gives an alarm to prompt people around the refrigerator to open and close the refrigerator door again. However, when no one handles the alarm sent by the refrigerator, the refrigerator still operates in a normal control method after the flash seam exists in the refrigerator door, and the frosting amount of the evaporator of the refrigerator is further increased, so that the refrigerating effect is further poorer, and the power consumption is further increased. Therefore, in order to reduce the frost formation amount of the evaporator as much as possible in the flash-gap state and to provide freshness preservation for the user, the third embodiment of the present invention provides a control method after detecting the flash gap of the refrigerator door. As shown in fig. 3, the control method includes:
step 301, alarming once in each alarm period;
step 302, judging whether the difference D2 between the actual temperature and the set temperature of the refrigerator is greater than a second preset temperature difference, if so, entering step 303, and if not, entering step 305;
step 303, judging whether the refrigerator enters a low consumption state, if so, entering step 307, and if not, entering step 304;
step 304, setting the refrigerator to enter a low consumption state, and then entering step 307;
step 305, judging whether the compressor stops working, if so, entering step 307, and if not, entering step 306;
step 306, setting the compressor and the fan to stop working, and then entering step 307;
and 307, judging whether the refrigerator door is opened or closed again, if not, entering the step 302, and if so, ending the control method.
In the above embodiment, the alarm is set once per alarm period, via step 301. Through steps 302, 303 and 304, when the difference D2 between the actual temperature and the set temperature of the refrigerator is greater than the second predetermined temperature difference, the refrigerator still needs to continue cooling, so the refrigerator is set to enter a low-consumption state, a better balance between reducing the frost formation amount and keeping fresh is achieved, and if the refrigerator already enters the low-consumption state, the refrigerator goes down. Through steps 302, 305 and 306, when the difference D2 between the actual temperature and the set temperature of the refrigerator is smaller than the second preset temperature difference, the actual temperature of the refrigerator is already low, and refrigeration is not needed temporarily, and in order to reduce the frost formation amount, the compressor and the fan are directly set to stop working until the difference D2 between the actual temperature and the set temperature of the refrigerator is larger than the second preset temperature difference, and the low consumption state is entered. Of course, if the compressor has stopped working, the downward movement is continued. In addition, the "low consumption state of the refrigerator" in steps 303 and 304 includes: the compressor runs with minimum rotational speed, and the fan runs with minimum rotational speed, and every fixed frost cycle defrosting once, the fixed frost cycle is the defrosting cycle when refrigerator normal operating condition (do not have the flash seam), does not shorten the defrosting cycle of refrigerator under the low consumption state, the reason lies in: after defrosting is finished every time, the surface temperature of the evaporator needs to rise by about 30 ℃, the temperature of the storage chamber needs to rise by about 7 ℃, and if the defrosting period is shortened, the defrosting frequency is increased, the temperature rising frequency of the evaporator and the storage chamber of the refrigerator is increased, so that the refrigerator can well provide fresh keeping.
In any of the above steps, if it is detected that the refrigerator door is opened or closed again, the control method ends, the normal control method of the refrigerator is entered, and the detection of whether the refrigerator door has a flash seam is restarted.
In a specific embodiment, the second preset temperature difference is 5 ℃, the alarm period is 30min, the fixed defrosting period is 4h, namely, after the occurrence of flash seams on the refrigerator door is detected, the alarm is set once every 30min, and the alarm time is 30 s; judging whether the difference D2 between the actual temperature and the set temperature of the refrigerator is less than 5 ℃, if so, stopping the compressor and the fan until the difference D2 between the actual temperature and the set temperature is detected to be more than 5 ℃; and setting the compressor and the fan to operate at the lowest rotating speed, and defrosting once every 4 h.
As shown in fig. 4, in an embodiment of the present invention, the control device for detecting a flash gap of a refrigerator door may be applied to the first to third embodiments.

and the judging module 15 is used for judging whether the refrigerator meets the defrosting condition or not, and judging that a flash seam exists in the refrigerator door when the defrosting interval time I is less than the preset minimum defrosting interval time.

In the present embodiment, a determination condition (if frost is blocked on the surface of the evaporator) is added so as to possibly change the defrosting interval time I between two adjacent times, and then the defrosting interval time I is compared with a predetermined minimum defrosting interval time to determine whether a flash gap exists in the refrigerator door.

In the above embodiment, when the difference D1 is smaller than the first preset temperature difference and the difference D1 gradually decreases within the first predetermined time period, it indicates that the refrigeration effect of the evaporator is poor and worse, but it cannot be determined whether T3 is greater than the second preset temperature, that is, whether the surface temperature T3 of the evaporator is increased (if frost is present on the surface of the evaporator, the heat transfer capability of the evaporator is seriously affected, and the surface temperature of the evaporator is increased), so that when the above conditions are satisfied, it can be determined that a large amount of frost is present on the surface of the evaporator of the refrigerator and frost blockage has occurred.
