Referring to fig. 1 and 2 in combination, an embodiment of a first aspect of the present invention provides a defrosting method of a refrigeration apparatus, including:
step 100, obtaining the actual temperature of the evaporator 100;
step 200, adjusting the working state of the heater 102 based on the comparison result of the actual temperature and the freezing point temperature of the frost layer.
According to the defrosting method of the refrigeration equipment provided by the embodiment of the first aspect of the invention, the working state of the heater 102 is adjusted by acquiring the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 and comparing the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 with the freezing point temperature of the frost layer on the evaporator 100, and the working state of the heater 102 can be adjusted based on the frost layer temperature by comparing the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 with the freezing point temperature of the frost layer, so that the pertinence of the heating mode of the heater 102 is stronger. And further, the defrosting method can be applied to evaporators 100 and heaters 102 of different types, the defrosting efficiency of the evaporators 100 is improved, and the useless power loss of the defrosting device is reduced.
Taking a refrigerator as an example, please continue to refer to fig. 1 and fig. 2, in the defrosting method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, step 100 is used to obtain the actual temperature of the evaporator 100, for example, the actual temperature of the evaporator can be obtained through the temperature sensor 116; step 200 is used for comparing the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 with the freezing point temperature of the frost layer on the evaporator 100 after the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 is obtained, and adjusting the working state of the heater 102 on the evaporator 100 based on the comparison result after the comparison is completed.
Typically, the freezing point temperature of the frost layer referred to herein is 0 degrees. The reason why the freezing point temperature of the frost layer is selected as the reference value for comparison is that the frost layer is in a solid-liquid mixed state when reaching the freezing point temperature during defrosting, and the water on the surface of the frost layer needs a larger evaporation latent heat at this time, so as to avoid that the water on the surface of the frost layer absorbs the heat provided by the heater 102 completely, and the heat provided by the heater 102 cannot be applied to defrosting, so that the freezing point temperature of the frost layer is selected to be compared with the actual temperature of the evaporator 100.
Referring to fig. 3, in the embodiment of the present invention, there are the following three cases between the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 and the freezing temperature of the frost layer:
here, the concept of the preset temperature is introduced because if the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 reaches the freezing temperature of the frost layer, the operation state of the heater 102 is adjusted again, which causes a part of heat released from the heater 102 to be absorbed by water in the frost layer to be converted from the liquid state to the gas state, and thus, the preset temperature less than the freezing temperature is introduced. For example, the preset temperature may be-1 degrees.
With continued reference to fig. 3, in the step of adjusting the operation state of the heater 102 based on the comparison result between the actual temperature and the freezing temperature of the frost layer, the steps respectively include:
step 210, determining that the actual temperature is less than the preset temperature, and periodically turning on and off the heater 102;
in this step, the detected actual temperature of the evaporator 100 is less than the preset temperature, and the heater 102 is periodically turned on and off, and it is understood that when the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 has not reached the preset temperature, it is verified that the frost layer is still in a solid state at this time, and thus, the heater 102 may be periodically turned on and off to achieve defrosting heating of the frost layer. In addition, the power consumption of the heater 102 can also be reduced by periodically turning the heater 102 on and off.
Step 220, determining that the actual temperature is equal to the preset temperature, and adjusting the working state of the heater 102 to make the actual temperature reach the freezing point temperature;
in this step, the detected actual temperature of the evaporator 100 is equal to the preset temperature, and at this time, by adjusting the operation state of the heater 102 so that the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 reaches the freezing temperature, it is understood that since the preset temperature is lower than the freezing temperature, it is necessary to control the heater 102 to heat the frost layer so that the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 continues to rise and reaches the freezing temperature in this step.
Step 230, determining that the actual temperature is greater than the defrosting exit temperature, and exiting defrosting; the preset temperature is lower than the freezing point temperature, and the defrosting exit temperature is higher than the freezing point temperature.
In this step, the detected actual temperature of the evaporator 100 is greater than the freezing point temperature, at which point it is confirmed that the evaporator 100 has been frosted, and then the defrosting mode is exited by adjusting the operation state of the heater 102, and then the refrigerator can enter the normal refrigerating cycle again.
Referring to fig. 4 and 5 in combination, in the embodiment of the present invention, for the case where the actual temperature is less than the preset temperature, the heater 102 is periodically turned on and off, in particular, two different control modes may be divided into periodically turned on and periodically turned off.
For the case where the heater 102 is periodically turned on:
referring to fig. 4, in step 210, that is, in the step of determining that the actual temperature is less than the preset temperature, the heater 102 is periodically turned on and off, according to an embodiment of the present invention, includes:
step 211, obtaining a temperature rise temperature difference of the evaporator 100 before and after the heater 102 is started for the current starting time;
in this step, before the heater 102 is turned on, the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 is first detected, after the heater 102 is turned on for the duration of this time, the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 is detected again, and the difference between the detected actual temperatures of the evaporator 100 is made to obtain the temperature rise temperature difference of the actual temperatures of the evaporator 100 before and after the duration of this time when the heater 102 is turned on.
For example, before the heater 102 is turned on, the detected actual temperature of the evaporator 100 is T1, after the heater 102 is turned on for the current turn-on period T1, the detected actual temperature of the evaporator 100 is T2 again, and the temperature rise difference between T1 and T2 is Δt1.
Step 212, determining that the temperature rise temperature difference is greater than a first preset temperature difference, and reducing the next turn-on duration of the heater 102 based on the turn-on duration;
in this step, the temperature rising temperature difference obtained in step 211 is compared with a first preset temperature difference, and if the temperature rising temperature difference is greater than the first preset temperature difference, the next turn-on duration of the heater 102 is correspondingly reduced based on the current turn-on duration.
It will be appreciated that if the heater 102 is continuously turned on for the last time, the temperature of the evaporator 100 will rise too fast, and the temperature of the inner container and other parts around the evaporator 100 will also rise, which will affect the temperature in the refrigerating compartment of the refrigerator. Accordingly, it is necessary to correspondingly reduce the next turn-on period of the heater 102 to reduce the temperature rise rate of the evaporator 100.
For example, the first preset temperature difference may be 2 degrees, and if the temperature rise temperature difference Δt1 obtained in step 211 is 3 degrees, the temperature rise of the evaporator 100 is proved to be too fast, and the next turn-on duration of the heater 102 needs to be correspondingly reduced.
Step 213, determining that the second preset temperature difference is smaller than the temperature rising temperature difference and the temperature rising temperature difference is smaller than the first preset temperature difference, and keeping the next turn-on duration of the heater 102 unchanged based on the current turn-on duration;
in this step, the temperature rising temperature difference obtained in step 211 is compared with the second preset temperature difference and the first preset temperature difference, and if the temperature rising temperature difference is within the range of the second preset temperature difference and the first preset temperature difference, it is proved that the current turn-on duration of the heater 102 can meet the normal defrosting requirement.
For example, the first preset temperature difference may be 2 degrees, the second preset temperature difference may be 1 degree, and if the temperature rise temperature difference Δt1 obtained in step 211 is 1.5 degrees, it is proved that the temperature rise of the evaporator 100 is in a normal state, and only the current turn-on duration of the heater 102 is required to be maintained to circularly turn on the heater 102.
Step 214, determining that the temperature rise temperature difference is smaller than the second preset temperature difference, and prolonging the next turn-on duration of the heater 102 based on the turn-on duration.
In this step, the temperature rise temperature difference obtained in step 211 is compared with a second preset temperature difference, and if the temperature rise temperature difference is smaller than the second preset temperature difference, the next turn-on duration of the heater 102 is prolonged based on the current turn-on duration.
It will be appreciated that if the heater 102 is continuously turned on for the current duration, the defrosting speed is reduced, and the defrosting cycle is prolonged, which also results in the temperature in the refrigerating compartment of the refrigerator being affected. Thus, it is necessary to extend the next turn-on period of the heater 102 based on the current turn-on period of the heater 102 to improve defrosting efficiency.
For example, the second preset temperature difference may be 1 degree, and if the temperature rise temperature difference Δt1 obtained in step 211 is 0.5 degree, the temperature rise of the evaporator 100 is proved to be too slow, and the next turn-on duration of the heater 102 needs to be prolonged based on the current turn-on duration of the heater 102.
For the case where the heater 102 is periodically turned off:
referring to fig. 5, in step 220, i.e., in the step of determining that the actual temperature is less than the preset temperature, the heater 102 is periodically turned on and off, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprising:
step 216, obtaining a temperature rise temperature difference of the evaporator 100 before and after the heater 102 is turned off for the current turn-off time;
in this step, before the heater 102 is turned off, the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 is first detected, after the heater 102 is turned off for the current turn-off period, the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 is detected again, and the difference between the detected actual temperatures of the evaporator 100 is made to obtain the temperature rise temperature difference of the actual temperatures of the evaporator 100 before and after the heater 102 is turned off for the current turn-off period.
For example, before the heater 102 is turned off, the detected actual temperature of the evaporator 100 is T3, and after the heater 102 is turned off for the current turn-off period T2, the detected actual temperature of the evaporator 100 is T4 again, and the temperature rise difference between T3 and T4 is Δt2.
Step 217, determining that the temperature rise temperature difference is greater than a third preset temperature difference, and reducing the next closing time length of the heater 102 based on the closing time length;
in this step, the temperature rising temperature difference obtained in step 216 is compared with a third preset temperature difference, and if the temperature rising temperature difference is greater than the third preset temperature difference, the next closing time period of the heater 102 is correspondingly reduced based on the current closing time period of the heater 102.
It will be appreciated that if the heater 102 is turned off for the last time, the heat conduction and radiation in the evaporator 100 will cause the temperature rise of the evaporator 100 to be longer, and thus the temperature of the inner container and other parts around the evaporator 100 will be also raised, which will cause the temperature in the refrigerating compartment of the refrigerator to be affected. Accordingly, it is desirable to correspondingly reduce the next turn-off period of the heater 102 based on the current turn-off period of the heater 102 to reduce the heat impact on the peripheral bladders, other components, and the refrigeration compartments of the evaporator 100.
For example, the third preset temperature difference may be 2 degrees, and if the temperature rise temperature difference Δt2 obtained in step 216 is 3 degrees, it is proved that the temperature rise process of the evaporator 100 is long, and the next closing time period of the heater 102 needs to be correspondingly reduced based on the current closing time period.
Step 218, determining that the fourth preset temperature difference is smaller than the temperature rising temperature difference and the temperature rising temperature difference is smaller than the third preset temperature difference, and keeping the next closing time of the heater 102 unchanged based on the closing time;
in this step, the temperature rising temperature difference obtained in step 216 is compared with the fourth preset temperature difference and the third preset temperature difference, respectively, and if the temperature rising temperature difference is within the range of the fourth preset temperature difference and the third preset temperature difference, it is proved that the closing duration of the current heater 102 can meet the normal use requirement.
For example, the third preset temperature difference may be 2 degrees, the fourth preset temperature difference may be 1 degree, and if the temperature rise temperature difference Δt2 obtained in step 211 is 1.5 degrees, it is proved that the temperature rise of the evaporator 100 is in a normal state, and only the current turn-off duration of the heater 102 needs to be maintained.
Step 219, determining that the temperature rising temperature difference is smaller than the fourth preset temperature difference, and extending the next closing time of the heater 102 based on the current closing time of the heater 102.
In this step, the temperature rise temperature difference obtained in step 216 is compared with a fourth preset temperature difference, and if the temperature rise temperature difference is smaller than the fourth preset temperature difference, the next closing time period of the heater 102 is correspondingly prolonged based on the current closing time period of the heater 102.
It will be appreciated that if the heater 102 continues to be turned off for the current duration of the turn off, the effectiveness of defrosting may be reduced due to insufficient conduction and radiation of heat from the evaporator 100 to the top of the evaporator 100. Thus, it is necessary to correspondingly lengthen the next turn-off period of the heater 102 based on the current turn-off period to lengthen the temperature rise process of the evaporator 100.
For example, the fourth preset temperature difference may be 1 degree, and if the temperature rise temperature difference Δt2 obtained in the step 216 is 0.5 degree, it is proved that the temperature rise of the evaporator 100 is too slow, and the corresponding time period for the next time of closing the heater 102 needs to be prolonged based on the time period for the current time of closing the heater 102.
In the embodiment of the present invention, for the case that the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 in step 220 is equal to the preset temperature, the working state of the heater 102 is adjusted so that the actual temperature reaches the freezing point temperature, which can be specifically divided into two different forms:
specific case one:
step 221, determining that the heater 102 is in an on state, and keeping the current on time of the heater 102 unchanged based on the last on time, so that the actual temperature reaches the freezing point temperature.
In this case, when the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 is equal to the preset temperature, the heater 102 is in an on state, and at this time, the last on period of the heater 102 is maintained so that the actual temperature reaches the freezing temperature.
In other words, in this case, if the heater 102 is in the on state when the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 is equal to the preset temperature, the heater 102 continues to be heated, and is not affected by the adjusted on period, and may continue to be heated for the last on period, or for the on period after the last adjustment is completed. This allows the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 to quickly pass the freezing temperature, avoiding the water on the surface of the frost from absorbing all of the heat provided by the heater 102.
And the specific case is as follows:
step 222, determining that the heater 102 is in a closed state, turning on the heater 102 and keeping the next turn-on duration of the heater 102 unchanged based on the current turn-on duration, so that the actual temperature reaches the freezing point temperature.
In this case, when the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 is equal to the preset temperature, the heater 102 is in the off state, at which time the off state of the heater 102 is immediately terminated, and the heater 102 is turned on and the current on period of the heater 102 is maintained so that the actual temperature reaches the freezing temperature.
In other words, in this case, if the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 is equal to the preset temperature, the heater 102 is in the off state, at which time the off state of the heater 102 needs to be terminated immediately, and the off period when the heater 102 is off is not affected by the off period after the adjustment is completed. Meanwhile, the heater 102 is turned on immediately, and the heating is performed in the current turn-on time period, or in the turn-on time period after the last adjustment. This allows the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 to quickly pass the freezing temperature, avoiding the water on the surface of the frost from absorbing all of the heat provided by the heater 102.
According to one embodiment of the invention, at the step: the step of determining that the actual temperature is greater than the defrosting exit temperature and exiting defrosting comprises the following steps:
step 231, after the heater 102 is turned off for a preset period of time, the heater 102 is turned on again to make the actual temperature reach the defrosting exit temperature.
In this step, when the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 is greater than the freezing point temperature, the heater 102 is turned off, and after a preset period of time, the heater 102 is turned on again and the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 reaches the defrosting exit temperature, thereby completing the defrosting step.
The following describes a defrosting method of a refrigeration apparatus according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention with reference to fig. 1 to 5:
firstly, entering a defrosting mode, acquiring the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 through a temperature sensor 116, comparing the actual temperature of the evaporator 100 with a preset temperature, and if the actual temperature is smaller than the preset temperature, periodically turning on and off the heater 102, wherein specifically, the turn-on duration after the heater 102 is turned on is the turn-on duration at this time, and the turn-off duration after the heater 102 is turned off is the turn-off duration at this time; in the defrosting process, the temperature rising temperature difference of the evaporator 100 before and after the heater 102 is started and the temperature rising temperature difference of the evaporator 100 after the heater 102 is closed are obtained through the temperature sensor 116;
secondly, comparing the temperature rise temperature difference of the evaporator 100 before and after the heater 102 is started with the first preset temperature difference and the second preset temperature difference, and if the temperature rise temperature difference is larger than the first preset temperature difference, reducing the next starting time of the heater 102 based on the current starting time; if the temperature rise temperature difference is between the second preset temperature difference and the first preset temperature difference, keeping the time length of the heater 102 which is started next time unchanged; if the temperature rise temperature difference is smaller than the second preset temperature difference, the next turn-on duration of the heater 102 is prolonged based on the current turn-on duration.
Comparing the temperature rise temperature difference of the closed evaporator 100 with the third preset temperature difference and the fourth preset temperature difference when the heater 102 is closed, and reducing the closing time of the heater 102 next time based on the closing time if the temperature rise temperature difference is larger than the third preset temperature difference; if the temperature rise temperature difference is between the fourth preset temperature difference and the third preset temperature difference, keeping the next closing time length of the heater 102 unchanged; if the temperature rise temperature difference is smaller than the fourth preset temperature difference, the next closing time of the heater 102 is prolonged based on the closing time.
Again, when the actual temperature reaches the preset temperature and the heater 102 is in an on state, the defrosting mode is then exited based on the last on period of the heater 102 and keeping the heater 102 continuously on until the actual temperature exceeds the freezing point temperature and the defrosting exit temperature is reached.
When the actual temperature reaches the preset temperature and the heater 102 is in the off state, the off state of the heater 102 is immediately ended and the heater 102 is turned on until the actual temperature exceeds the freezing point temperature and the defrosting exit temperature is reached, and then the defrosting mode is exited.
