Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It is to be understood that the embodiments described are only a few embodiments of the present application and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
The embodiment of the application provides a refrigerator and a control method thereof, which aim to solve the problem that the existing refrigerating chamber and freezing chamber cannot be independently controlled. The following description will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Exemplarily, please refer to fig. 1 and fig. 2, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a refrigerator at a first angle according to an embodiment of the present application, and fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of the refrigerator at another angle shown in fig. 1. The embodiment of the application provides a refrigerator 1, and the refrigerator 1 comprises: compressor 11, fan 12, refrigerating compartment 13, first air duct 14, paddle assembly 15, freezing compartment 16, second air duct 17, and controller 18. The compressor 11 is used to generate cool air. The first air duct 14 is communicated with the refrigerating chamber 13, and the plectrum assembly 15 is arranged in the first air duct 14. The second duct 17 communicates with the freezing chamber 16. The controller 18 is electrically connected to the compressor 11, the fan 12, and the paddle assembly 15, respectively. The controller 18 is used to obtain the refrigeration demand of the refrigerator compartment 13 and/or the freezer compartment 16. When the refrigerating chamber 13 needs to be refrigerated, the fan 12 is controlled to work, the first air duct 14 is communicated with the refrigerating chamber 13 through the shifting sheet assembly 15, and the fan 12 supplies air to the refrigerating chamber 13 through the first air duct 14 so as to control the temperature of the refrigerating chamber 13. When the freezing chamber 16 has a refrigerating requirement, the compressor 11 and the fan 12 are controlled to operate, and the fan 12 sends cold air generated by the compressor 11 to the freezing chamber 16 through the second air duct 17 to control the temperature of the freezing chamber 16. The temperature of the refrigerating chamber 13 is controlled by controlling the conduction and the separation of the first air duct 14 and the refrigerating chamber 13 through the plectrum assembly 15 and controlling the operation of the fan 12, and the temperature of the freezing chamber 16 is controlled by controlling the operation of the compressor 11 and the operation of the fan 12, so that the independent control of the refrigerating chamber 13 and the freezing chamber 16 can be realized.
It should be noted that the first air duct 14 and the second air duct 17 may be connected to an air inlet, that is, the air inlet is divided into two branches, and the air sent by the fan 12 passes through the air inlet and then is respectively sent to the refrigerating chamber 13 through the first air duct 14 and sent to the freezing chamber 16 through the second air duct 17. The cross-sectional areas of the first air duct 14 and the second air duct 17 may be equal, and of course, the cross-sectional areas of the first air duct 14 and the second air duct 17 may also be unequal, and the embodiment of the present application takes the case where the cross-sectional areas of the first air duct 14 and the second air duct 17 are equal as an example for description. When the cross-sectional areas of the first air duct 14 and the second air duct 17 are equal, the air volume passing through the first air duct 14 is equal to the air volume passing through the second air duct 17 in the same time, in order to separately realize the temperature control of the refrigerating chamber 13 and the freezing chamber 16, a plectrum assembly 15 can be arranged in the first air duct 14, and the temperature of the refrigerating chamber 13 is controlled by controlling the conduction and the partition of the first air duct 14 and the refrigerating chamber 13 and controlling the operation of the fan 12 through the plectrum assembly 15. The temperature of the freezing chamber 16 is controlled by controlling the operation of the compressor 11 and the operation of the fan 12, so that the refrigerating function of the refrigerating chamber 13 and the freezing function of the freezing chamber 16 do not interfere with each other, the performance of the whole refrigerator 1 can be improved, the power consumption of the refrigerator 1 is reduced, and the user can obtain better experience.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a first flowchart of a control method of a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the pick assembly 15 includes a motor 152, a connecting rod 154, and a pick 156. The connecting rod 154 is connected with the motor 152, and the shifting piece 156 is fixedly connected with the connecting rod 154. The motor 152 controls the rotation of the driving plate 156 through the connecting rod 154 to connect or disconnect the first duct 14 with the refrigerating chamber 13. It will be appreciated that with the paddle assembly 15 closed, the paddle 156 is parallel to the cross-sectional direction of the first air duct 14, i.e., the paddle 156 blocks air from passing through the first air duct 14 and thus prevents air from entering the refrigeration compartment 13. The shape of the shifting piece 156 may be similar to the shape of the first air duct 14, or the shifting piece 156 may be disposed at the air inlet of the first air duct 14, and the shape of the shifting piece 156 is not limited at this time as long as it can block the wind from entering the first air duct 14. Fig. 3 shows a state in which the paddle 156 is closed.
It should be noted that the refrigerator 1 further includes a refrigeration sensor 132, the refrigeration sensor 132 is disposed in the refrigerating chamber 13, and the refrigeration sensor 132 may collect a first temperature in the refrigerating chamber 13 and transmit the first temperature to the refrigerator 1, so that the refrigerator 1 determines whether there is a refrigeration demand in the refrigerating chamber 13 according to the first temperature. For example, when the first temperature is greater than the first threshold, it may be determined that the refrigerating chamber 13 has a refrigerating requirement, the fan 12 is controlled to operate, and the dial assembly 15 is controlled to conduct the first air duct 14 with the refrigerating chamber 13, so as to control the temperature of the refrigerating chamber 13 to reach the temperature in the normal refrigerating state. It will be appreciated that the temperature in the refrigerated compartment 13 will typically be constant within a certain range, for example within a first threshold value, which may be any one of the set temperatures between 4 ℃ and 15 ℃. When the first temperature detected by the refrigeration sensor 132 is greater than the first threshold, it may be determined that refrigeration is required to be performed on the refrigerating chamber 13 at this time to return the temperature to the normal first threshold, the controller 18 controls the dial assembly 15 to conduct the first air duct 14 and the refrigerating chamber 13, and the fan 12 supplies air to the refrigerating chamber 13 through the first air duct 14 to control the temperature of the refrigerating chamber 13. It should be noted that, in the operating state of the fan 12, the cold air in the second air duct 17 is sent to the refrigerating chamber 13 to adjust the temperature of the refrigerating chamber 13.
The refrigerator 1 further includes a defrosting sensor 162, the defrosting sensor 162 is disposed in the freezing compartment 16, and the defrosting sensor 162 can collect a second temperature in the freezing compartment 16 and transmit the second temperature to the refrigerator 1, so that the refrigerator 1 can determine whether the freezing compartment 16 has a refrigeration requirement according to the second temperature. For example, when the second temperature is greater than the second threshold value, it may be determined that there is a demand for cooling in the freezing chamber 16, and the compressor 11 and the fan 12 may be controlled to operate, so that the temperature of the freezing chamber 16 may be controlled to reach the temperature of the normal freezing state. It will be appreciated that the typical temperature within the freezer compartment 16 will be constant within a certain range, such as within a second threshold, which may be any set temperature within the range of-4 c to-20 c. When the second temperature detected by the defrosting sensor 162 is greater than the second threshold, it may be determined that cooling is required to the freezing compartment 16 at this time to return the temperature to the normal second threshold, the controller 18 may control the compressor 11 and the fan 12 to operate, and the fan 12 may supply the cold air generated by the compressor 11 to the freezing compartment 16 through the second air duct 17 to control the temperature of the freezing compartment 16. Note that the control of the temperature of the freezing chamber 16 by the defrosting sensor 162 is performed during the non-defrosting period, which is a state when the freezing chamber 16 is cooling. When in the defrosting period, the defrosting sensor 162 may transmit the collected temperature and use the temperature as a basis for controlling the turn-off of the defrosting heater. The temperature requirements for the freezer compartment 16 during defrosting and during non-defrosting are different, and the control of the freezer compartment 16 temperature during non-defrosting is a primary consideration in the embodiments of the present application.
The refrigerator 1 further comprises a display and control panel 19. The display control panel 19 may be provided on a door body of the refrigerator 1 so that the state of the refrigerator 1 and the control of the refrigerator 1 can be observed on the outside of the refrigerator 1. The display control panel 19 may include a display panel 192 and control buttons 194, the display control panel 19 may be electrically connected to the controller 18, and in particular, the display panel 192 and the control buttons 194 may be electrically connected to the controller 18, so that the display control panel 19 may control the temperature of the refrigerating compartment 13 and the freezing compartment 16. The display panel 192 is used to display a first temperature of the refrigerating compartment 13 and a second temperature of the freezing compartment 16, and controls the temperatures of the refrigerating compartment 13 and the freezing compartment 16 through the control buttons 194 when there is a refrigerating demand in the refrigerating compartment 13 and/or the freezing compartment 16. The control button 194 is used to determine whether there is a need for cooling the refrigerator compartment 13 and the freezer compartment 16, respectively, based on the first control command and the second control command. It can be understood that when the first temperature of the refrigerating chamber 13 is observed through the display panel 192, a user can determine that the refrigerating chamber 13 has a refrigerating requirement at this time according to the first temperature, or when the user wants to set the temperature of the refrigerating chamber 13 to a certain temperature, the user can operate the control button 194 for correspondingly controlling the refrigerating chamber 13, at this time, the operation of the fan 12 can be controlled through the controller 18, and the conduction between the first air duct 14 and the refrigerating chamber 13 is controlled through the dial assembly 15, so that the fan 12 supplies air to the refrigerating chamber 13 through the first air duct 14 to adjust the temperature of the refrigerating chamber 13. Correspondingly, when the second temperature of the freezing chamber 16 is observed through the display panel 192, the user may determine that there is a cooling demand for the freezing chamber 16 at this time according to the second temperature, or when the user wants to set the temperature of the freezing chamber 16 to a certain temperature, the user may operate the control button 194 for controlling the freezing chamber 16 correspondingly, and at this time, the compressor 11 and the fan 12 may be controlled to operate, so that the fan 12 supplies air to the freezing chamber 16 through the second air duct 17 to adjust the temperature of the freezing chamber 16.
The above description has been made on the case where the refrigerating chamber 13 and the freezing chamber 16 both have a cooling demand, and in order to more clearly describe other cases where there is a cooling demand for the refrigerating chamber 13 and the freezing chamber 16, the following description will be made on different cases, respectively.
In the first case, when there is no refrigeration demand in the refrigerating chamber 13 and there is a refrigeration demand in the freezing chamber 16, the first duct 14 is blocked from the refrigerating chamber 13 by the pick assembly 15, and the compressor 11 and the fan 12 are controlled to operate. It is understood that when the first temperature of the refrigerating chamber 13 is less than or equal to the first threshold value, it may be determined that there is no refrigeration requirement in the refrigerating chamber 13, and the controller 18 may control the dial assembly 15 to block the first air duct 14 from the refrigerating chamber 13, so that the air cannot pass through the first air duct 14, and thus the temperature of the refrigerating chamber 13 may be maintained. When the freezing chamber 16 has a refrigerating requirement, the compressor 11 and the fan 12 are controlled to operate so that the wind can be introduced into the freezing chamber 16 through the second wind duct 17 to adjust the temperature of the freezing chamber 16.
In the second situation, when the refrigerating chamber 13 has a refrigerating requirement and the freezing chamber 16 has no refrigerating requirement, the fan 12 is controlled to operate, the driving piece assembly 15 is controlled to enable the first air duct 14 to be communicated with the refrigerating chamber 13, and the compressor 11 is controlled to stop. It will be appreciated that when there is no refrigeration demand in the freezer compartment 16, the compressor 11 may be controlled to stop so that no air is fed into the freezer compartment 16 through the second air duct 17. At this time, if the refrigerating chamber 13 has a refrigerating requirement, the fan 12 needs to be controlled to operate, and the driving plate assembly 15 needs to be controlled to conduct the first air duct 14 with the refrigerating chamber 13, so that the air can adjust the temperature of the refrigerating chamber 13 through the first air duct 14.
In the third case, when there is no refrigeration demand in both the refrigerating compartment 13 and the freezing compartment 16, the compressor 11 and the fan 12 are controlled to be stopped, and the dial assembly 15 is controlled to be in the off state. It can be understood that when there is no refrigeration requirement in the refrigerating chamber 13 and the freezing chamber 16, the compressor 11 and the fan 12 are controlled to stop, and the first air duct 14 is isolated from the refrigerating chamber 13 by the control of the pick assembly 15, and no air is fed into the refrigerating chamber 13 and the freezing chamber 16, so that the temperature of the refrigerating chamber 13 and the freezing chamber 16 is not affected.
In the fourth situation, when the refrigerating chamber 13 and the freezing chamber 16 both have refrigerating requirements, the compressor 11 and the fan 12 are controlled to work, and the shifting piece assembly 15 is controlled to enable the first air duct 14 to be communicated with the refrigerating chamber 13. It is understood that by conducting the first duct 14 and the refrigerating chamber 13 and controlling the operation of the compressor 11 and the fan 12, cool air can be introduced into the freezing chamber 16 and supplied to the refrigerating chamber 13, and thus the temperatures of the refrigerating chamber 13 and the freezing chamber 16 can be controlled.
In order to more clearly describe the individual control method of the embodiment of the present application for the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber, the following description will be made from the perspective of the control method of the refrigerator.
Exemplarily, please refer to fig. 4, and fig. 4 is a first flowchart of a control method of a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present application. The structure of the refrigerator 1 can be described with reference to fig. 1 to 3 and the above description, and will not be described again. The control method of the refrigerator comprises the following steps:
101. the refrigeration requirements of the cold and/or freezer compartments are obtained.
In a first aspect, a first temperature of the refrigerating compartment 13 and a second temperature of the freezing compartment 16 are obtained, and it is determined whether there is a refrigeration demand in the refrigerating compartment 13 and the freezing compartment 16, respectively, based on the first temperature and the second temperature. Illustratively, if the temperatures of the refrigerating compartment 13 and the freezing compartment 16 need to be controlled, it is first necessary to obtain a first temperature of the refrigerating compartment 13 and to obtain a second temperature of the freezing compartment 16. The first temperature of the refrigerating compartment 13 may be sensed by a refrigerating sensor 132 provided at the refrigerating compartment 13, and the second temperature of the freezing compartment 16 may be sensed by a frost sensor 162 provided at the freezing compartment 16. It is understood that the refrigeration sensor 132 and the frost sensor 162 may both employ temperature sensors.
After the first temperature of the refrigerating chamber 13 is obtained, whether the refrigerating chamber 13 has a refrigerating requirement can be judged according to the first temperature. For example, when the first temperature is greater than the first threshold value, it may be determined that there is a need for cooling the refrigerating compartment 13, and cooling the refrigerating compartment 13 is required to return the temperature to the normal first threshold value. The first threshold may be any one of the set temperatures of 4 ℃ to 15 ℃.
After the second temperature of the freezing chamber 16 is obtained, whether the freezing chamber 16 has a refrigeration requirement can be judged according to the second temperature. For example, when the second temperature is greater than the second threshold, it may be determined that there is a need for cooling in the freezer compartment 16, at which time cooling in the freezer compartment 16 is required to return the temperature to the normal second threshold. The second threshold may be any temperature set within-4 ℃ to-20 ℃.
In the second aspect, a first control command for controlling the refrigerating chamber 13 and a second control command for controlling the freezing chamber 16 are acquired, and whether the refrigerating chamber 13 and the freezing chamber 16 have a refrigeration demand is determined according to the first control command and the second control command, respectively. It can be understood that the control method of the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present application may automatically adjust the temperatures of the refrigerating chamber 13 and the freezing chamber 16, or may receive an external control command to adjust the temperatures of the refrigerating chamber 13 and the freezing chamber 16. When receiving the first control command from the outside, it can be determined that the refrigerating compartment 13 has a cooling demand. When receiving the external second control command, it may be determined that the freezing chamber 16 has a cooling demand.
102. When the refrigerating chamber has a refrigerating requirement, the fan is controlled to work, the first air channel is communicated with the refrigerating chamber through the shifting piece assembly, and the fan supplies air to the refrigerating chamber through the first air channel so as to control the temperature of the refrigerating chamber.
When the refrigerating chamber 13 needs to be refrigerated, the refrigerating chamber 13 needs to be refrigerated at this time to enable the temperature to return to a normal first threshold value, the first air duct 14 is communicated with the refrigerating chamber 13 by controlling the shifting piece assembly 15, and the fan 12 is controlled to work, so that air is sent to the refrigerating chamber 13 through the first air duct 14, and the temperature of the refrigerating chamber 13 is adjusted.
103. When the freezing chamber has a refrigerating requirement, the compressor and the fan are controlled to work, and the fan sends cold air generated by the compressor to the freezing chamber through the second air duct so as to control the temperature of the freezing chamber.
When the freezing chamber 16 has a refrigeration requirement, and the freezing chamber 16 needs to be refrigerated at this time to return the temperature to the normal second threshold value, the compressor 11 and the fan 12 can be controlled to operate, so that the air is sent to the freezing chamber 16 through the second air duct 17, and the temperature of the freezing chamber 16 can be adjusted.
It should be noted that the control method of the refrigerator provided in the embodiments of the present application is not limited to the above steps. Exemplarily, please refer to fig. 5, and fig. 5 is a second flowchart of the control method of the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present application. The control method of the refrigerator comprises the following steps:
201. the refrigeration requirements of the cold and/or freezer compartments are obtained.
Step 201 may refer to the description of step 101, which is not described herein again.
