Background
The humidity in the refrigerating and freezing device can influence the evaporation speed of the water in the food materials, thereby influencing the quality of the food materials. When the humidity is too low, the water of the food material evaporates faster, which causes weight loss of the food material, and then causes the problems of poor food storage effect, shorter food preservation period and the like. Therefore, it is always a critical research topic to keep the refrigerating and freezing apparatus wet. However, most of the conventional refrigerating and freezing apparatuses humidify and moisturize the refrigerating chamber, and there is little concern about humidification and moisturization of the freezing chamber. In fact, the air-cooled refrigeration and freezing device generally has the problem that the humidity fluctuation is large during the freezing and refrigerating period, the humidity fluctuation and the humidity are low, and food stored in the freezing chamber can lose water, so that the taste of the food is affected, nutrition loss is caused, and the user experience is affected.

Even if a certain humidifying effect exists, a certain time is required for the humidity in the freezing chamber to rise, and the preservation quality of the food materials is still affected to a certain extent.

Detailed Description
The present invention first provides a control method of a refrigerating and freezing apparatus, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the refrigerating and freezing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2 is a schematic structural block diagram of a refrigerating system of the refrigerating and freezing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the refrigerating and freezing apparatus 1 includes a cabinet 10 defining a freezing compartment 11, a freezing evaporator 21 for supplying cold to the freezing compartment 11, a freezing fan 31 for driving air supply into the freezing compartment 11, and a compressor 22 for compressing a refrigerant. Wherein the freezing evaporator 21 and the compressor 22 belong to two components of the refrigeration system 20, the refrigeration system 20 may further comprise a condenser 23, a freezing capillary 24, and the like.
The inventors have realized that during refrigeration of the refrigerated compartment 11, the evaporator temperature of the refrigerated evaporator 21 must be lower than the compartment temperature of the refrigerated compartment 11 to have the ability to cool down the refrigerated compartment 11. Whereas water vapor typically collects and condenses at lower temperatures. Therefore, during the cooling of the freezing compartment 11, the moisture in the freezing compartment 11 is condensed at the freezing evaporator 21, and the humidity in the freezing compartment 11 is inevitably lowered. Due to the physical properties of water vapor, the level of humidity decrease in the freezer compartment 11 depends on the temperature difference relationship between the freezer evaporator 21 and the freezer compartment 11, i.e. the greater the absolute value of the temperature difference between the freezer evaporator 21 and the freezer compartment 11, the more humidity decrease in the freezer compartment 11, the lower the humidity. Therefore, the humidity in the freezing compartment 11 can be controlled by adjusting the absolute value of the temperature difference between the freezing evaporator 21 and the freezing compartment 11.
The inventors have further realized that after the structural determination of the freeze evaporator 21 and the air circuit cycle, the absolute value of the temperature difference between the freeze evaporator 21 and the freezer compartment 11 is related to the temperature of the freeze evaporator 21 itself and the heat exchange level of the freeze evaporator 21. For the structure of the refrigeration system, which adopts the capillary for throttling, the structure of the freezing capillary 24 is determined, and the temperature of the freezing evaporator 21 is not adjustable, and depends on the operation frequency of the compressor 22. For a refrigeration and freezer, the heat exchange level of the refrigeration evaporator 21 is only dependent on the rotational speed of the refrigeration fan 31, since the configuration of the refrigeration evaporator 21 and the air circuit circulation configuration have been determined to be unchanged.
Based on the above knowledge, the present invention provides a control method of a refrigerating and freezing apparatus, comprising:
when the refrigerating and freezing device 1 is in a state in which the freezing compartment is refrigerating, the evaporator temperature of the freezing evaporator 21 and the compartment temperature in the freezing compartment 11 are obtained;
calculating an absolute value of a temperature difference between the evaporator temperature of the freezing evaporator 21 and the compartment temperature inside the freezing compartment 11; and
the rotation speed of the freezing blower 31 or the operation frequency of the compressor 22 is selectively adjusted according to the absolute value of the temperature difference so that the absolute value of the temperature difference between the evaporator temperature of the freezing evaporator 21 and the inter-chamber temperature within the freezing compartment 11 is equal to or less than a preset temperature difference threshold.
In the control method of the present invention, when the refrigerating and freezing device 1 is in a refrigerating state of the refrigerating compartment, the absolute value of the temperature difference between the evaporator temperature of the refrigerating evaporator 21 and the compartment temperature of the refrigerating compartment 11 is dynamically kept within the range of less than or equal to the preset temperature difference threshold value by selectively adjusting the rotation speed of the refrigerating fan 31 or the operation frequency of the compressor 22, so that the absolute value of the temperature difference between the evaporator temperature of the refrigerating evaporator 21 and the compartment temperature of the refrigerating compartment 11 is prevented from being excessively large, that is, the evaporator temperature of the refrigerating evaporator 21 is prevented from being excessively lower than the compartment temperature of the refrigerating compartment 11, and more moisture in the refrigerating compartment 11 is prevented from being condensed on the refrigerating evaporator 21, thereby preventing the phenomenon that the humidity in the refrigerating compartment 11 is rapidly reduced.
The invention properly controls the humidity of the freezing chamber 11 during the refrigerating period of the freezing chamber, and avoids the problem of larger fluctuation of the humidity in the freezing chamber 11 caused by the scheme of refrigerating before humidifying in the prior art.
In addition, the invention realizes the purpose of inhibiting the humidity fluctuation in the freezing chamber 11 by controlling the rotating speed of the refrigerating fan 31 or the operating frequency of the compressor 22 on the basis of the original structure of the refrigerating and freezing device 1 without adding any auxiliary structure, thereby having no influence on the original structure and storage capacity of the refrigerating and freezing device 1 and improving the feasibility of practical application.
Fig. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a control method of a refrigerating and freezing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 3, the control method of the present invention includes:
step S10, acquiring the current state of the refrigeration and freezing device 1;
step S20, judging whether the refrigeration and freezing device 1 is in a refrigerating state of a freezing compartment; if yes, go to step S30, if no, return to step S10; and
step S30, acquiring the evaporator temperature of the freezing evaporator 21 and the compartment temperature in the freezing compartment 11;
step S40, calculating the absolute value of the temperature difference between the evaporator temperature of the freezing evaporator 21 and the compartment temperature in the freezing compartment 11;
step S50, selectively adjusting the rotation speed of the freezing blower 31 or the operation frequency of the compressor 22 according to the absolute value of the temperature difference so that the absolute value of the temperature difference between the evaporator temperature of the freezing evaporator 21 and the compartment temperature in the freezing compartment 11 is equal to or less than a preset temperature difference threshold.
In some embodiments, the step of selectively adjusting the rotational speed of the freezing blower 31 or the operating frequency of the compressor 22 according to the absolute value of the temperature difference may specifically include:
when the absolute value of the temperature difference is larger than a preset temperature difference threshold value and the rotating speed of the refrigerating fan 31 does not reach a preset maximum rotating speed, the rotating speed of the refrigerating fan 31 is increased; and
when the absolute value of the temperature difference is greater than the preset temperature difference threshold value and the rotation speed of the freezing blower 31 has reached the preset maximum rotation speed, the operation frequency of the compressor 22 is reduced.
According to the above analysis, the absolute value of the temperature difference between the freezing evaporator 21 and the freezing compartment 11 is related to the heat exchange level of the freezing evaporator 21. Since the structure of the freezing evaporator 21 and the air path circulation structure have been determined, the heat exchange level of the freezing evaporator 21 is only related to the rotation speed of the freezing blower 31. The higher the rotation speed of the freezing blower 31, the better the heat exchange level of the freezing evaporator 21, and the smaller the absolute value of the temperature difference between the freezing evaporator 21 and the freezing compartment 11. Therefore, the absolute value of the temperature difference between the evaporator temperature of the freezing evaporator 21 and the compartment temperature inside the freezing compartment 11 can be effectively reduced by increasing the rotation speed of the freezing blower 31.
However, the rotation speed of the freezing blower 31 may not be too high in consideration of noise factors, and therefore, even when the absolute value of the temperature difference between the evaporator temperature of the freezing evaporator 21 and the inter-chamber temperature within the freezing compartment 11 is greater than the preset temperature difference threshold value, it is not easy to always increase the rotation speed of the freezing blower 31. For this reason, when the rotation speed of the freezing blower 31 has reached the preset maximum rotation speed, it is necessary to reduce the absolute value of the temperature difference between the evaporator temperature of the freezing evaporator 21 and the compartment temperature inside the freezing compartment 11 by other means.
According to the above analysis, the absolute value of the temperature difference between the freezing evaporator 21 and the freezing compartment 11 is also related to the own temperature of the freezing evaporator 21. The structure of the freezing capillary 24 is already determined, not regulated, and the temperature of the freezing evaporator 21 itself depends on the operating frequency of the compressor 22. The higher the operating frequency of the compressor 22, the lower the evaporator temperature of the freeze evaporator 21; the lower the operating frequency of the compressor 22, the higher the evaporator temperature of the freeze evaporator 21. Therefore, when the rotation speed of the freezing blower 31 is not adjustable, the absolute value of the temperature difference between the evaporator temperature of the freezing evaporator 21 and the compartment temperature inside the freezing compartment 11 can be effectively reduced by reducing the operation frequency of the compressor 22.
During the refrigeration of the freezer compartment 11, a reduction in the operating frequency of the compressor 22 will have a more or less effect on the refrigeration efficiency in the freezer compartment 11, whereas an increase in the rotational speed of the freezer fan 31 will increase the air supply in the freezer compartment 11 without negatively affecting the refrigeration of the freezer compartment 11. Therefore, in the present invention, when the absolute value of the temperature difference between the freezing evaporator 21 and the freezing compartment 11 is greater than the preset temperature difference threshold, the rotation speed of the freezing blower 31 is first raised, and if the rotation speed of the freezing blower 31 is not adjustable, the operation frequency of the compressor 22 is reduced, so that adverse effects of the operation of suppressing the humidity fluctuation on the refrigerating efficiency in the freezing compartment 11 are avoided or reduced as much as possible.
In some embodiments, the step of selectively adjusting the rotational speed of the freezing blower 31 or the operating frequency of the compressor 22 according to the absolute value of the temperature difference may specifically further include:
when the absolute value of the temperature difference is less than or equal to the preset temperature difference threshold value, the rotation speed of the freezing blower 31 and the operation frequency of the compressor 22 are kept unchanged.
That is, when the absolute value of the temperature difference between the evaporator temperature of the freezing evaporator 21 and the room temperature in the freezing room 11 is less than or equal to the preset temperature difference threshold, it is indicated that the temperature of the freezing evaporator 21 is not much lower than the temperature in the freezing room 11, and at this time, the dehumidifying effect of the freezing evaporator 21 on the air flow is not remarkable, the humidity in the freezing room 11 is slowly lowered, and a drastic humidity fluctuation phenomenon does not occur, so that no remarkable adverse effect is exerted on the quality of food preservation. At this time, there is no need to adjust the refrigerating fan 31 and the rotation speed and the operation frequency of the compressor 22.
Fig. 4 is a schematic flowchart of selectively adjusting the rotation speed of the freezing blower or the operation frequency of the compressor according to the absolute value of the temperature difference according to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 4, the step S50 of selectively adjusting the rotation speed of the freezing blower or the operation frequency of the compressor according to the absolute value of the temperature difference may specifically include:
step S51, judging whether the absolute value of the temperature difference is smaller than or equal to a preset temperature difference threshold value; if yes, go to step S52, if no, return to step S53;
step S52, keeping the rotation speed of the refrigerating fan 31 and the operation frequency of the compressor 22 unchanged;
step S53, judging whether the rotation speed of the freezing fan 31 reaches a preset maximum rotation speed; if yes, go to step S54, if no, return to step S55;
step S54, reducing the operation frequency of the compressor 22;
in step S55, the rotation speed of the freezing blower 31 is increased.
In some embodiments, after increasing the rotational speed of the freezing blower 31 or decreasing the operating frequency of the compressor 22, the evaporator temperature of the freezing evaporator 21 and the compartment temperature within the freezing compartment 11 are continuously obtained, the absolute value of the temperature difference between the evaporator temperature and the compartment temperature is recalculated, and the rotational speed of the freezing blower 31 or the operating frequency of the compressor 22 is selectively adjusted according to the relationship between the recalculated absolute value of the temperature difference and the preset temperature difference threshold.
That is, the rotation speed of the cooling fan 31 and the operation frequency of the compressor 22 are adjusted slowly and repeatedly, and the absolute value of the temperature difference between the evaporator temperature and the room temperature is continuously judged whether to meet the requirement after each adjustment, and if not, the adjustment is continuously carried out, so that the excessive increase of the rotation speed of the cooling fan 31 at one time is avoided to generate larger noise, and the excessive decrease of the operation frequency of the compressor 22 at one time is avoided to greatly influence the refrigerating efficiency of the cooling room 11.
Fig. 5 is a schematic flowchart of a control method of a refrigerating and freezing apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 5, after step S54 or step S55, returning to step S30 to continue to perform step S30 and the related steps thereafter.
In some embodiments, the magnitude of each increase in rotational speed of the freezing blower 31 is the same. That is, the rotation speed of the freezing blower 31 is increased uniformly, and the control is easy.
Specifically, the freezing blower 31 may be controlled in a PWM manner, in which case the duty ratio of the freezing blower 31 is increased by 5% to 10% of the set duty ratio during freezing compartment cooling at a time. For example, the duty cycle of the freezing blower 31 is increased by 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9% or 10% of the set duty cycle each time. During refrigeration of the freezer compartment, the freezer fan 31 has a preset set duty cycle, and the freezer fan 31 is operated at its set duty cycle when there is no need to adjust the humidity of the freezer compartment 11. When the rotation speed of the freezing blower 31 needs to be increased, the duty ratio of the freezing blower 31 is increased according to the amplitude of 5% -10% of the set duty ratio, so that the operation of the freezing blower 31 is more stable.
In other embodiments, the freezing blower 31 may be controlled in a voltage manner, and the voltage of the freezing blower 31 is increased by 0.5-1V each time. That is, the voltage of the freezing blower 31 is increased by 0.5-1V on the basis of the voltage after the previous adjustment every time the voltage of the freezing blower 31 is adjusted, so that the operation of the freezing blower 31 is more stable. For example, the voltage of the freezing blower 31 is increased by 0.5V, 0.6V, 0.7V, 0.8V, 0.9V, 1V, or the like each time.
In some embodiments, the amplitude of the reduced frequency of the compressor 22 is the same each time. That is, the operation frequency of the compressor 22 is reduced uniformly, and the control is easy.
Specifically, the operating frequency of the compressor 22 can be reduced by a range of 2 to 20 hz at a time to find as much as possible the operating frequency of the compressor 22 that can suppress the fluctuation of the humidity in the freezing compartment 11 and has the smallest influence on the refrigerating effect in the freezing compartment 11. For example, the operating frequency of the compressor 22 is reduced by 2 hz, 4 hz, 6 hz, 8 hz, 10 hz, 12 hz, 14 hz, 16 hz, 18 hz, 20 hz, etc. each time.

The refrigeration and freezing device 1 of the invention properly controls the humidity of the freezing chamber 11 during the freezing chamber refrigeration period, thereby avoiding the problem of large fluctuation of the humidity in the freezing chamber 11 caused by the scheme of refrigeration before humidification in the prior art.
In addition, the invention realizes the purpose of inhibiting the humidity fluctuation in the freezing chamber 11 by controlling the rotating speed of the refrigerating fan 31 or the operating frequency of the compressor 22 on the basis of the original structure of the refrigerating and freezing device 1 without adding any auxiliary structure, thereby having no influence on the original structure and storage capacity of the refrigerating and freezing device 1 and improving the feasibility of practical application.
