Referring to fig. 2-3, the return air temperature control mechanism according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a refrigeration evaporator 113, an evaporator air duct, and a refrigeration fan 112 for supplying air to a refrigerating chamber of the refrigerator, where the refrigeration fan 112 and the refrigeration evaporator 113 are disposed in the refrigeration evaporator 113 air duct, the refrigeration evaporator 113 air duct in front of the refrigeration evaporator 113 along the air supply direction of the refrigeration fan 112 is a first air duct, the refrigeration evaporator 113 air duct in back of the refrigeration evaporator 113 along the air supply direction of the refrigeration fan 112 is a second air duct, the refrigeration fan 112 is disposed in the second air duct, the return air temperature control mechanism further includes at least two temperature control chambers 114, a turntable 116, and a driving device 115 for controlling rotation of the turntable 116, each temperature control chamber 114 includes an air supply opening 117 and a return air opening 118, the turntable 116 includes a communication opening 310 capable of corresponding to the return air opening 118, where the air supply opening 117 is communicated with the first air duct, the return air opening 118 can communicate with the second air duct through the communication opening 310, and the driving device 115 controls the rotation of the turntable 116 according to the temperature control request of the temperature-controlled compartment 114, so that the communication opening 310 communicates with the return air opening 118 of the temperature-controlled compartment 114 corresponding to the temperature control request.
It should be noted that the return air temperature control mechanism is not limited to be used in the refrigerating chamber of the refrigerator, but may be used in the freezing chamber or other chambers of the refrigerator.
Because the refrigerating fan 112 is arranged in the second air duct, air in the temperature control room 114 can be pumped out and conveyed to the refrigerating evaporator 113 through the air return opening 118, compared with the refrigerating fan 112 arranged above the refrigerating evaporator 113, the air pressure generated by the refrigerating fan 112 in operation can better act on the air return opening 118, the return air pressure of the temperature control room 114 can be improved, the air flowing speed between the air supply opening 117 and the air return opening 118 of the temperature control room 114 is higher, the temperature regulation efficiency of the temperature control room 114 is improved, insufficient cold quantity of the temperature control room 114 is effectively prevented, and the lowest temperature of the temperature control room 114 can be reduced.
Note that the refrigerating fan 112 is disposed near the return air opening 118. The refrigerating fan 112 can be disposed at the same horizontal position as the air return opening 118 or at the position forward to the air supply direction at the same horizontal position, so that the refrigerating fan 112 can better rapidly draw out the air in the temperature control compartment 114 through the air return opening 118 and enable the air outside the temperature control compartment 114 to rapidly enter the temperature control compartment 114 from the air supply opening 117, thereby achieving rapid temperature adjustment of the temperature control compartment 114.
Further, the refrigerating fan 112 may be disposed opposite to the refrigerating evaporator 113 along the air blowing direction thereof, and a water blocking device may be disposed on the second air duct between the refrigerating evaporator 113 and the refrigerating fan 112. The cold-stored fan 112 can be just to hiding the setting of evaporimeter 113 along its air supply direction, for preventing to hide the use that the water droplet that evaporimeter 113 produced when the work influences cold-stored fan 112, can set up water stop device on cold-stored fan 112 and the second wind channel of hiding between the evaporimeter 113, because cold-stored fan 112 and cold-stored evaporimeter 113 set up in same vertical region, the cold-stored fan 112 of this embodiment and water stop device's structure can enough improve the efficiency of the temperature regulation and control of temperature control room 114, can also prevent under the condition of guaranteeing space utilization that cold-stored fan 112 receives the problem that the water droplet of cold-stored evaporimeter 113 influences.
It should be noted that the water blocking device may be a water blocking partition or a water receiving tray, or may be another device capable of preventing water from dropping onto the refrigeration fan 112, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.
In an embodiment, the water stop device is a water stop partition, and the water stop partition is disposed between the refrigerating fan 112 and the refrigerating evaporator 113, so that when water drops fall, the water stop partition can guide the water drops to flow to a non-dropping area, and the water drops can be prevented from falling onto the refrigerating fan 112, thereby prolonging the service life of the refrigerating fan 112.
In an embodiment, the water stop device is a water pan, and the water pan is disposed between the refrigerating fan 112 and the refrigerating evaporator 113, so that when water drops fall, the water pan can receive the water drops, and the water drops can be prevented from falling onto the refrigerating fan 112, thereby prolonging the service life of the refrigerating fan 112.
Further, the refrigerating fan 112 and the refrigerating evaporator 113 are arranged in the second air duct in a staggered mode along the air supply direction of the refrigerating fan 112, the refrigerating fan 112 can avoid water drops flowing upwards and downwards from the refrigerating evaporator 113 through the arrangement of the position, the return air pressure of the temperature control room 114 can be improved, the air flowing speed between the air supply opening 117 and the return air opening 118 of the temperature control room 114 is higher, and therefore the temperature regulation and control efficiency of the temperature control room 114 is improved. An air duct plate can be arranged on one side of the refrigerating fan 112, and the air pumped out from the return air inlet by the refrigerating fan 112 can be conveyed to the refrigerating evaporator 113 more intensively under the action of the air duct plate, so that the air supply efficiency of the refrigerating fan 112 is improved.
Because the temperature-controlled compartment 114 is provided with the air supply outlet 117 and the air return outlet 118, the temperature-controlled compartment 114 realizes the circulation with the air outside the temperature-controlled compartment 114 through the air supply outlet 117 and the air return outlet 118, the air outside the temperature-controlled compartment 114 can enter the temperature-controlled compartment 114 from the air supply outlet 117 and flow out from the air return outlet 118, and in the process, the heat exchange between the inside and the outside of the temperature-controlled compartment 114 can be realized through the flow of the air, therefore, the temperature of the temperature-controlled compartment 114 can be adjusted by controlling the circulation state of the air flow channel, in the embodiment of the invention, the communication state of the air return outlets 118 of more than two temperature-controlled compartments 114 is controlled by the communication outlet 310 on the turntable 116, based on the control of the rotation of the turntable 116 by the driving device 115 according to the temperature control request, the communication outlet 310 is communicated with the air return outlet 118 of the temperature-controlled compartment 114 corresponding to the temperature-controlled compartment 114, and a passage for the circulation of the air is formed between the air supply outlet 117 and the air return outlet 118 of the corresponding temperature-controlled compartment 114, thereby achieving the adjustment of the temperature control compartment 114. Note that the temperature control request is used to control the temperature of the temperature control compartment 114.
Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, since the communication port 310 on the control dial 116 is in a communication state with the air return port 118 of the temperature-controlled room 114 that needs to be controlled in temperature, so as to realize temperature control over the temperature-controlled room 114, the shape or area of the communication port 310 is different from that of the air return port 118, and a situation that temperature control over the temperature-controlled room 114 cannot be performed will not occur. Based on this, the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the shape of the communication port 310, the communication port 310 may be in a fan shape, a square shape, a circular shape, or other irregular shapes, or the area of the communication port 310 is not limited, and the area of the communication port 310 may be larger than the air return opening 118 or smaller than the air return opening 118.
It should be noted that, if the communication port 310 and the return air opening 118 have the same shape, but the area of the communication port 310 is smaller than that of the return air opening 118, the air flowing out of the return air opening 118 is affected by the flux of the communication port 310, so as to reduce the temperature control efficiency of the temperature control compartment 114, therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the shape and the area of the communication port 310 and the return air opening 118 are set to be the same, when the communication port 310 and the return air opening 118 are controlled to be communicated, because the shape and the size of the communication port 310 and the return air opening 118 are the same, and the communication port 310 and the return air opening 118 are in matching communication, at this time, the air flowing out through the return air opening 118 can all flow out without affecting the air flowing out speed.
The number of the communication ports 310 provided on the turntable 116 may be one or more than two, and when the number of the communication ports 310 provided on the turntable 116 is one, the communication ports 310 can be controlled to be communicated with the air return openings 118 of the plurality of temperature control compartments 114 one by one, so as to realize temperature control of the plurality of temperature control compartments 114, in addition, more than two communication ports 310 may be provided, and the communication ports 310 are used for simultaneously controlling the communication state of the air return openings 118 of the more than two temperature control compartments 114, so as to realize temperature control of the plurality of temperature control compartments 114.
The connection between the driving device 115 and the turntable 116 includes:
in the first aspect, the driving device 115 is provided with a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft can be connected with the center of the turntable 116, and the turntable 116 can be driven to rotate by the rotation of the rotating shaft, so that the control of the turntable 116 is realized.
In a second aspect, the driving device 115 is provided with a rotating wheel, and the rotating wheel is connected with the edge of the rotating disc 116, and the edge motion can be controlled through the rotation of the rotating wheel, so as to drive the rotating disc 116 to rotate.
The connection between the driving device 115 and the turntable 116 is not limited to the above connection, and may be another connection. The drive device 115 may be a servo motor, stepper motor, or other rotating device.
Further, the projection of the return air opening 118 in the direction of the turntable 116 overlaps with the rotation path of the communication opening 310. When the turntable 116 rotates, a rotating path can be formed in the rotating process of the communication port 310, and since the projection of the center of the air return port 118 to the direction of the turntable 116 is overlapped with the rotating path of the communication port 310, the projection of the communication port 310 and the air return port 118 to the direction of the turntable 116 can be at least partially overlapped by controlling the rotation of the turntable 116, so that the communication port 310 is communicated with the air return port 118 of the temperature control chamber, and the communication state of the air return port 118 is controlled.
The rotation path is a region formed during the rotation of the communication port 310 about the rotation axis of the turntable 116, that is, the rotation path of the communication port 310 may be a set of arbitrary positions during the rotation of the communication port 310 about the rotation axis of the turntable 116.
For example, the communication port 310 may be a circular hole, and a circular rotation path may be formed when the communication port 310 rotates once in one direction around the rotation axis of the turntable 116. For example, the communication port 310 may be a circular hole, and when the communication port 310 is rotated by a certain angle in one direction around the rotation axis of the turntable 116, an arc-shaped rotation path having semicircular ends can be formed. Another example is: the communication port 310 may be a rectangular hole, and a circular rotation path can be formed when the communication port 310 rotates once in one direction around the rotation axis of the turntable 116. For example, the communication port 310 may be a rectangular hole, and when the communication port 310 is rotated by a certain angle in one direction around the rotation axis of the turntable 116, an arc-shaped rotation path having both ends at right angles can be formed.
It should be noted that, overlapping means that the positions and shapes of two components or reference figures are identical in space, and overlapping means that at least a part of the intersection exists between the two components or reference figures.
In an embodiment, the communication port 310 and the air return port 118 are circular holes with the same size, the communication port 310 rotates to form a rotation path, and since the projection of the air return port 118 to the direction of the turntable 116 is overlapped with the rotation path of the communication port 310, a state exists, so that the center of the communication port 310 can be overlapped with the projection of the center of the air return port 118 to the direction of the turntable 116, at this time, the air return port 118 and the communication port 310 can completely correspond to each other, the communication port 310 is communicated with the air return port 118 of the temperature control compartment, and thus the temperature of the plurality of temperature control compartments 114 can be better controlled.
By controlling the rotation angle of the turntable 116, the communication port 310 on the turntable 116 can be communicated with the air return port 118 of the temperature-controlled compartment 114 corresponding to the temperature control request, or the communication port 310 on the turntable 116 can be staggered with the air return port 118 of the temperature-controlled compartment 114, so that the air return port 118 closes the communication state of the communication port 310 on the controllable turntable 116 and the air return port 118 of the temperature-controlled compartment 114 requiring temperature control, and therefore, the communication state of the air return ports 118 of the plurality of temperature-controlled compartments 114 can be controlled through the turntable 116, and the temperature of the plurality of temperature-controlled compartments 114 can be controlled.
Furthermore, after the air return opening 118 is closed, the air subsequently entering the temperature-controlled compartment 114 through the air supply opening 117 cannot flow out from the closed air return opening 118, so that the air pressure in the temperature-controlled compartment 114 is higher than the air pressure outside the air return opening 118, and therefore, under the action of the air pressure difference between the air pressure and the air pressure, the air in the temperature-controlled compartment 114 can quickly flow out from the air return opening 118 after the communication opening 310 of the driving device 115 controlling the turntable 116 is communicated with the air return opening 118 and before the air pressure of the two is balanced. Therefore, compared with the conventional method of controlling the temperature of the temperature-controlled compartment 114 through a plurality of air supply dampers, the temperature regulation of the temperature-controlled compartment 114 is more efficient by controlling the opening and closing of the air return opening 118 through the turntable 116 in the present embodiment.
Referring to fig. 2, the return air temperature-controlling mechanism of the above embodiment may be matched with an operation control device to implement the temperature control operation on the temperature-controlled compartment 114, where the operation control device includes a control processor 210 and a memory 220, the control processor 210 and the memory 220 may be connected through a bus, the control processor 210 is electrically connected to the driving device 115 in the return air temperature-controlling mechanism, and the control processor 210 may invoke a return air temperature-controlling program stored in the memory 220, so as to issue a temperature-controlling instruction corresponding to the relevant temperature-controlling request to the driving device 115.
Referring to fig. 4 to 6, the return air temperature control mechanism includes a first temperature-controlled compartment 410 and a second temperature-controlled compartment 420, the first temperature-controlled compartment 410 includes a first return air opening 411, the second temperature-controlled compartment 420 includes a second return air opening 421, and the driving device 115 controls the communication opening 310 of the turntable 116 to rotate from a first communication position to a second communication position according to a temperature control request, the first communication position corresponding to the first return air opening 411, and the second communication position corresponding to the second return air opening 421.
When the communication port 310 is communicated with the first air return opening 411 at the first communication position, if the second temperature-control compartment 420 needs temperature control, the driving device 115 may control the communication port 310 of the turntable 116 to rotate from the first communication position to the second communication position according to a temperature control request, so that the communication port 310 is communicated with the second air return opening 421, thereby implementing temperature control on the second temperature-control compartment 420.
It should be noted that a first setting condition may also be set, so that the communication port 310 may be maintained at the first communication position, and after the first setting condition is reached, the driving device controls the communication port of the turntable to rotate from the first communication position to the second communication position, thereby effectively solving the problem that the temperature control in one of the temperature control chambers is not satisfied due to the too short time interval of the temperature control requirements of the two temperature control chambers.
In one embodiment, the first set condition may be that the temperature of the first temperature-controlled compartment 410 reaches a first target temperature.
For example: when the temperature of the multiple temperature-control compartments 114 needs to be controlled, the communication port 310 can be maintained at the first communication position, after the temperature of the first temperature-control compartment 410 reaches the first target temperature, the driving device 115 controls the communication port 310 of the turntable 116 to rotate from the first communication position to the second communication position, and the communication port 310 can be maintained at the second communication position until the temperature of the second temperature-control compartment 420 reaches the second target temperature, that is, the driving device 115 can sequentially manage the temperatures of the multiple temperature-control compartments 114 according to the set conditions, so that the temperatures of the multiple temperature-control compartments 114 can be controlled.
In another embodiment, the first set condition is that the communication port 310 of the dial 116 is maintained at the first communication position for a first period of time.
For example: when there are multiple temperature control compartments 114 that need to be temperature controlled, the driving device 115 may control the communication port 310 of the turntable 116 to rotate to the first communication position according to the first temperature control request, the communication port 310 may be kept at the first communication position, and after the keeping time reaches the first duration, the driving device 115 controls the communication port 310 of the turntable 116 to rotate from the first communication position to the second communication position again, and the communication port 310 may be kept at the second communication position until the keeping time reaches the second duration. That is, the drive device 115 can sequentially control the temperatures of the plurality of temperature-controlled compartments 114 in accordance with the set conditions, thereby controlling the temperatures of the plurality of temperature-controlled compartments 114.
Referring to fig. 4, 5, and 7, the return air temperature control mechanism includes a first temperature control compartment 410, the first temperature control compartment 410 includes a first return air opening 411, the driving device 115 controls the communication opening 310 of the rotary disk 116 to rotate from the first communication position to the first closing position according to the temperature control request, so as to close all the return air openings on the return air temperature control mechanism, and the first communication position corresponds to the first return air opening 411, or controls the communication opening 310 of the rotary disk 116 to rotate from the first closing position to the first communication position according to the temperature control request, thereby controlling the temperatures of the multiple temperature control compartments.
For example, the temperature of the first temperature control compartment 410 reaches the preset temperature and the other temperature control compartments do not have temperature control requirements, the driving device 115 can control the communication port 310 of the turntable 116 to rotate from the first communication position to the first closing position, the blocking effect of the turntable 116 can close the return air inlet on the return air temperature control mechanism, the air in the temperature control compartment 114 can not flow out through the return air inlet, and therefore the temperature control compartment 114 can realize the heat preservation effect.
For another example, when the communication port 310 is located at the first closed position, the temperature of the first temperature-controlled compartment 410 needs to be controlled, and the driving device 115 may control the communication port 310 of the turntable 116 to rotate from the first closed position to the first communication position, so that the communication port 310 communicates with the first air return opening 411, and a passage through which air flows is formed between the air supply opening and the air return opening of the temperature-controlled compartment 114, thereby adjusting the temperature of the first temperature-controlled compartment 410.
It should be noted that one side of the plurality of temperature-controlled compartments constitutes a compartment outer wall, the turntable 116 is disposed on one side of the compartment outer wall, and a position corresponding to a portion of the compartment outer wall excluding the return air inlet is defined as a first closed position.
In practical applications, the rotating disc 116 may rotate frequently according to a temperature control request, and there is an error in mechanical rotation, where the error is accumulated continuously when there is an error in one rotation, and the error is increased and decreased due to the error, and the setting of the fixed closing position is equivalent to resetting the rotating disc 116, and the error can be cleared.
In another embodiment of the first closing position, the first closing position is a near position, the near position may be a position relatively close to the first communication position and any other two communication positions, and in practical applications, the position relatively close to the first communication position and any other two communication positions may be selected according to the first communication position of the communication port 310, and the communication port 310 is controlled to rotate to the near position, so that the rotating distance of the driving device 115 can be reduced, and the service life of the driving device 115 can be prolonged.
Of course, one skilled in the art can also randomly set the closed position of the communication port 310 of the dial 116. The return air opening 118 can be controlled to be closed by staggering the communication opening 310 and the return air opening 118.

For example: the disc is arranged on one side of the grid-shaped temperature control room array, the projection of the disc can completely fall on one side of the temperature control room array, the disc is arranged at a position capable of covering the air return openings 118 of the four temperature control rooms 114, one side of the temperature control room array can be enabled to leave a certain area except the coverage area of the projection of the disc, the area can be provided with the air supply opening 117, the structural design can reduce the occupied space of an air return control mechanism, the air return openings 118 and the air supply opening 117 can be arranged on the same side of the temperature control room array, and when the air return temperature control mechanism is applied to a refrigerator, the air duct design can be simplified.
Referring to fig. 1, the return air temperature control mechanism of the present invention is applied to an embodiment of a refrigerator, the refrigerator includes an evaporator air duct, the evaporator air duct is an air duct in which an evaporator of the refrigerator is located, and is configured to provide cold air for a refrigerating chamber 111 or a freezing chamber 121 of the refrigerator, and a return air inlet 118 of a temperature control compartment 114 can be communicated with the evaporator air duct through a communication port 310 of a turntable 116.
The temperature-controlled compartment 114 may be provided in the freezing zone or in a separate zone. Only the air supply opening 117 of the temperature control chamber 114 and the communication opening 310 of the turntable 116 need to be communicated with the corresponding evaporator air duct, so that a channel for air circulation can be formed between the air supply opening 117 and the air return opening 118 of the corresponding temperature control chamber 114, and the temperature of the temperature control chamber 114 can be adjusted.
It should be noted that the evaporator air duct may be a refrigeration evaporator air duct, or other evaporator air ducts. The evaporator may be the refrigerating evaporator 113 installed in the refrigerating evaporator air duct, the freezing evaporator 123 installed in the freezing evaporator air duct, or an evaporator installed in another evaporator air duct.
Furthermore, the evaporator air duct further comprises an air outlet duct positioned above the evaporator and a return air duct arranged below the evaporator, the air supply outlet 117 of the temperature control room 114 is communicated with the air outlet duct, and the return air inlet 118 of the temperature control room 114 is communicated with the return air duct.

According to the return air temperature control mechanism in the above embodiment, in practical applications, a plurality of temperature control requests may often occur, and in order that the driving device 115 can normally and orderly control the communication port 310 of the turntable 116 to rotate, so as to meet the temperature control requirements of the plurality of temperature control compartments 114, the plurality of temperature control requests need to be sorted according to the priorities of the temperature control requests, so that the driving device 115 can control the rotation position of the turntable 116 according to the priorities of the temperature control requests.
It should be noted that the priority of the temperature control request includes the following two aspects:
in a first aspect: the temperature control request corresponding to the temperature control room 114 with the temperature difference larger than the threshold value is prioritized, and the temperature difference is the difference between the current temperature of the temperature control room 114 and the preset temperature. When the temperature control device is used, a plurality of temperature control requests occur, and one temperature control request is a temperature control request corresponding to the temperature control chamber 114 with the temperature difference larger than the threshold value, at this time, the food in the temperature control chamber 114 with the temperature difference larger than the threshold value is greatly influenced by the temperature, and the risk of deterioration is easy to occur, the driving device 115 can control the communication port 310 of the turntable 116 to be preferentially communicated with the air return port 118 in the temperature control chamber 114, and preferentially adjust the temperature of the temperature control chamber 114, so that the risk of deterioration of the food is reduced.
In a second aspect: the temperature control request corresponding to the temperature control room 114 having a high priority level is assigned with priority. In actual use, food with higher temperature sensitivity is placed in the temperature control chamber 114 with higher priority, and when the temperature control chamber 114 with higher priority needs temperature control, in order to ensure that the storage of such food is not affected by temperature, the driving device 115 can control the communication port 310 of the turntable 116 to be preferentially communicated with the air return port 118 in the temperature control chamber 114 with higher priority, and preferentially adjust the temperature of the temperature control chamber 114, thereby reducing the risk of food deterioration.
It should be noted that the priority level of the temperature control compartment 114 may be a default setting or may be set by a user, and the invention is not limited thereto.
