In some alternatives, controlling the cooling of the micro-freezing chamber to maintain the temperature of the food product at the second temperature comprises: closing the first air door and stopping the first fan; and opening the second air door and controlling the rotating speed of the second fan to intermittently supply air to the storage chamber so as to keep the temperature of the food at the second temperature.
Specifically, in the fresh-keeping storage stage: the first air door is closed, the second air door is kept open, the storeroom and the second room are kept communicated, the evaporator recovers refrigeration, the storeroom is intermittently supplied with air by controlling the start and stop of the second fan (the intermittent air supply can be considered as cold air normally supplied when the air supply fan of the freezing room is not considered during operation), the temperature of the refrigerating room is kept at-3-0 ℃, and food is stored at the temperature. The fresh-keeping effect is achieved and the energy is saved.
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are specifically illustrated and described above. It is to be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to the precise arrangements, instrumentalities, or instrumentalities described herein; on the contrary, the disclosure is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
