Example one
Fig. 2 shows a flow chart of a freezer air curtain control method. Specifically, the following description is made with reference to fig. 2.
S21: it is detected whether the door 20 is opened.
Firstly, the complete machine of the horizontal air-cooled refrigerator needs to be ensured to be powered on.
There are various existing ways to detect the opening of the door 20, for example, the push-pull door can be selectively opened or closed by using a magnetic-sensing switch or a gravity switch, etc., without limitation
The electronic detection device for detecting whether the door body 20 is opened is connected with the electronic temperature controller in the cabinet body 10.
When the door body 20 is detected to be closed, the whole refrigeration cycle operates according to a preset program when the door is closed, which is the same as the refrigeration cycle when the door of a conventional refrigerator is closed, and mainly is the start-stop control of the compressor M and the evaporation fan 31, and the refrigeration cycle when the door of the conventional refrigerator is closed can be referred to, for example, in the normal refrigeration process, the evaporation fan 31 stops after delaying the operation for a certain time after the compressor M stops, and the evaporation fan 31 operates in advance for a certain time before the compressor M starts to operate.
S22: when the door 20 is opened, the first air blowing device and the second air blowing device are closed.
In this step, after the door is opened, the user can take the article from the refrigerator, and the first air supply device and the second air supply device are closed to avoid forming a top air curtain between the upper air supply outlet 41 and the upper air return inlet 61, so that the user feels a wind sensation to the hand when taking the article.
The manner of turning off the first air blowing means and the second air blowing means may be realized by the following first manner.
In the first mode, no matter what state the compressor M and the evaporation fan 31 are in before the door body 20 is opened, when the door body 20 is detected to be opened, the compressor M and the evaporation fan 31 are controlled to stop running, at this moment, the first air supply device does not supply air, and the first air return device does not return air, so that the first air supply device and the first air return device do not form a top air curtain at the cabinet opening.
S23: detecting the actual temperature Ta in the cabinet body 10 in real time, calculating the temperature difference Delta T between the actual temperature Ta and the set temperature Ts, and timing the door opening time T.
In S23, the temperature sensor may be located on the inner container inside the cabinet 10, and the location of the temperature sensor is preferably located on the wind direction path of the circulating wind channel, so that the temperature inside the cabinet 10 can be more accurately reflected. The temperature sensor is connected with an electronic temperature controller in the refrigerator. Under normal work, namely when the refrigerator door body 20 is closed, the temperature sensor in the cabinet body 10 senses the temperature in the cabinet body 10; when the door 20 is opened, the external air enters the cabinet 10 to cause the temperature inside the cabinet 10 to change, and the temperature sensor senses the temperature change and sends the detected actual temperature Ta to the electronic temperature controller in real time.
Along with the increase of the time for opening the door body 20, the temperature and the cold energy in the cabinet body 10 gradually lose, so that the temperature in the cabinet body 10 can rise, and whether a cold air curtain needs to be formed at the cabinet opening or not is determined according to the change of the temperature difference delta T or the length of the door opening time T.
S24: and judging whether the door opening time t is greater than a first preset door opening time t 1.
In S24, the first preset door opening time t1 is set to 30 seconds, although this time may be set to other values, and 30 seconds is shown as an example.
If t >30S, proceed to S26, otherwise, proceed to S22, keep the current state and keep timing the door open time.
S25: and judging whether the temperature difference delta T is larger than a preset temperature threshold Tth or not.
In S25, the preset temperature threshold Tth is set to 3 ℃, although this temperature may be set to other values, and 3 ℃ is shown as an example.
If the delta T is larger than 3 ℃, the operation is carried out to S26, otherwise, the value is returned to S21, and whether the door body 21 is opened or not is detected.
S26: the operation of the evaporation fan 31 and the operation of the compressor M are controlled, and the first air supply device and the second air supply device are opened.
When delta T is greater than 3 ℃ or T is greater than 30s, the evaporation fan 31 and the compressor M are controlled to operate, an air curtain formed by cold air is formed between the upper air supply outlet 41 and the upper air return inlet 61 at the moment and used for preventing external hot air from entering the cabinet body 10, the refrigeration cycle is started, the cold air output by the air outlet duct 40 and hot air in the cabinet body 10 exchange and return to the evaporation cavity 30 through the first air return duct 50, the cold air output by the air outlet duct 40 returns to the evaporation cavity 30 through the second air return duct 60, and the temperature in the cabinet body 10 is uniformly reduced while the cold air curtain is formed.
S27: and detecting the door opening time t in real time, and judging whether the t is greater than a second preset door opening time t 2.
In S27, the second preset door opening time t2 is set to 7 minutes, although this time may be set to other values, and 7 minutes is shown as an example.
When t is greater than 7min, the whole refrigeration cycle operates according to a preset program when the door of the refrigerator is closed, the refrigeration cycle is not different from that of a conventional refrigerator when the door of the refrigerator is closed, and the start-stop control of the compressor M and the evaporation fan 31 is mainly realized, so that the refrigeration cycle of the conventional refrigerator when the door of the refrigerator is closed can be referred. And when t is less than or equal to 7min, continuously detecting whether the door body 20 is opened or not, and timing the door opening time when the door body is continuously opened.
When the door body 20 is opened, at first, the top air curtain is not formed at the cabinet opening, the blowing sense when the user gets the thing is avoided, the user is promoted to get the thing and experiences, and when the time of opening the door is greater than a first preset time or the temperature difference is greater than a certain value, it indicates that the user forgets to close the door or still opens the door body 20 for a long time and leads to the temperature rising in the cabinet body 10, form the air conditioning air curtain at the cabinet opening through refrigeration cycle's operation and first air supply arrangement and second air supply arrangement, the heat exchange between cold air and the external environment hot air in the isolated freezer, avoid the cold volume loss during opening the door, the power consumption is reduced, and guarantee the interior refrigeration effect of the cabinet body.
Example two
As shown in fig. 3, it shows a flowchart of a second embodiment of the air curtain control method of the refrigerator, which is also implemented based on the structure of the horizontal air-cooled refrigerator shown in fig. 1.
The implementation of the present embodiment differs from the implementation in the first embodiment in the following way.
As shown in fig. 3, the manner in which the first air blowing means and the second air blowing means are turned off may be implemented in the following second manner.
In the second mode, in order to keep the interior bottom of the cabinet 10 normally cool without forming a top air curtain at the cabinet opening during the opening of the door 20, in this second mode, a second air supply device is disposed on the first end portion below the first air supply device, and the second air supply device is at least one lower air supply opening (the lower air supply opening 42 is shown in fig. 1), and each air supply opening is provided with an air supply door for opening and closing each air supply opening, and the second end portion is provided with at least one second air return device below the first air return device, specifically in this embodiment, the at least one second air return device includes a second air return device a and a second air return device B disposed above and below the first air return device, and the second air return device a is at least one middle air return opening (the middle air return opening 62 is shown in fig. 1), the second air return device B is at least one lower air return opening (the lower air return opening 63 is shown in fig. 1), and each of the middle return air inlets and the lower return air inlets is provided with at least one middle return air door (not shown) and at least one lower return air door (not shown) for opening and closing the corresponding return air inlet. Each air door is equipped with an air port tripe and step motor, and step motor's drive shaft connection main connecting rod, and main connecting rod rotates through the one end of first bent axle with the air port tripe to be connected, and the other end of air port tripe rotates with the second bent axle that sets up on the air port and is connected, and the air port tripe is used for the water conservancy diversion air-out.
When the door body 20 is detected to be opened, the first air supply device and the first air return device are closed, the second air supply device and the second air return devices a and B are opened, the compressor M operates in a frequency-reducing mode, and the evaporation fan 31 operates at a low duty ratio, that is, when the door body 20 is opened, the upper air supply outlet 41 and the upper air return outlet 61 are closed, the lower air supply outlet 42, the middle air return outlet 62 and the lower air return outlet 63 are opened, and the compressor M operates in a frequency-reducing mode (for example, the frequency of the compressor M is reduced by 30%), the evaporation fan 31 operates at a low duty ratio (for example, the duty ratio of the evaporation fan is 50% of the duty ratio of the normal fan at the temperature), at the moment, the upper air supply outlet 41 and the upper air return outlet 61 are closed (even if the compressor M and the evaporation fan 31 both operate), an air curtain cannot be formed at the cabinet opening, and the middle air return outlet 62 and, for maintaining a refrigerated temperature within the cabinet 10.
As shown in fig. 3, the actual temperature Ta in the cabinet 10 is detected in real time, the temperature difference Δ T between the actual temperature Ta and the set temperature Ts is calculated, and the door opening time T is counted.
When t > t1 (for example, 30 seconds), it is considered that the user is hesitant to take the article or forget to close the door, and at this time, in order to avoid a large loss of the temperature in the cabinet 10, the compressor M and the evaporation fan 31 are operated simultaneously, and the upper air supply port 41, the upper air return port 61, the lower air supply port 42, the middle air return port 62 and the lower air return port 63 are all opened, so that the refrigeration cycle in the cabinet 10 is realized while the top air curtain is formed. In addition, in the process, an alarm prompt signal can be sent out in an audible and visual alarm mode and the like when the air curtain is formed, so that a user can be reminded to close the door. And when t is less than or equal to t1, continuously detecting whether the door body 20 is opened or not, and timing the door opening time when the door body is continuously opened.
When T > T2 (wherein T2> T1, for example, T2=7 min), it is determined that the user forgets to close the door or performs the exhibition mode, and the opening of each tuyere is determined according to the relationship between the temperature difference Δ T in the cabinet 10 and the preset temperature threshold Tth. And when t is less than or equal to t2, continuously detecting whether the door body 20 is opened or not, and timing the door opening time when the door body is continuously opened.
Specifically, when Δ T < = Tth (for example, 3 ℃), the upper air supply outlet 41 and the upper air return inlet 61 are kept open, and the lower air supply outlet 42, the middle air return inlet 62 and the lower air return inlet 63 are closed, so that most of the cold air output from the air outlet duct 40 returns from the upper air return inlet 61, the upper air supply outlet 41 and the upper air return inlet 61 form an air curtain with large air volume at the cabinet opening, and the external heat is prevented from entering the cabinet 10, and at this time, the operation states of the evaporation fan 31 and the compressor M are still according to the operation state when the door 20 is closed.
When the delta T is greater than Tth, the upper air supply outlet 41, the upper air return opening 61, the lower air supply outlet 42, the middle air return opening 62 and the lower air return opening 63 are kept open, the upper air supply outlet 41 and the upper air return opening 61 form an air curtain at the position of the cabinet opening, in addition, the middle air return opening 62 and the lower air return opening 63 return air due to the air supply of the lower air supply opening 42, so that the bottom of the cabinet body 10 can still be refrigerated for realizing the refrigeration in the cabinet body 10, and at the moment, the running states of the evaporation fan 31 and the compressor M still follow the running state when the door body 20 is closed.
