The defrosting pipeline at least comprises: a heat absorbing part 221, a heat radiating part 222, and a pump 223.
And a defrosting pipe having a heat absorbing part 221 and a heat radiating part 222. The heat absorbing part 221 is provided on the compressor 211. The heat radiating unit 222 is provided in the evaporator 213. The liquid medium heated by the compressor 211 through the heat absorption part 221 flows through the heat radiation part 222 in a state where the compressor 211 is stopped, to heat the evaporator 213. The liquid medium can not flow in the defrosting pipeline, and can also circularly flow in the defrosting pipeline under the action of power.
When the compressor 211 is operated, the refrigerant may be compressed into a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous state by the compressor 211, so that the temperature of the compressor 211 is increased to become a high-temperature portion in the refrigeration circuit. The high temperature portion may serve as a heat source of the heat sink 221. After the heat absorption portion 221 absorbs the heat released by the compressor 211, the temperature of the liquid medium inside the compressor 211 is raised, and the liquid medium can flow through the heat release portion 222 in the shutdown state of the compressor 211 to further heat the evaporator 213, so that the refrigerator 10 of the embodiment can utilize the heat of the refrigeration system 200 to defrost the evaporator 213, the energy utilization efficiency of the refrigeration system 200 is improved, and a defrosting heating wire is not required to be additionally arranged, thereby avoiding the adverse effect on the internal temperature of the refrigerator 10 when an external heat source is used for defrosting the evaporator 213, and reducing or avoiding the temperature of the storage compartment 111 from generating large fluctuation to a certain extent.

The heat radiating section 222 is a capillary tube. The diameter of the tube hole of the heat radiating portion 222 is 1mm to 8mm, and may be, for example, but not limited to, 1mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, or 8 mm.
The heat radiating portion 222 may be wound around an evaporation tube of the evaporator 213. In other alternative embodiments, the heat radiating portions 222 may be wound around the evaporation tubes and/or fins provided on the evaporator 213.
The heat radiating portion 222 is wound around the evaporator 213, so that the contact area between the heat radiating portion 222 and the evaporator 213 can be increased, the heat transfer effect between the heat radiating portion 222 and the evaporator 213 can be enhanced, the liquid medium in the heat absorbing portion 221 can transfer a large amount of heat to the evaporator 213 when flowing through the heat radiating portion 222, and the defrosting efficiency of the evaporator 213 can be improved.

The volume of the heat absorbing part 221 is larger than that of the heat releasing part 222, so that the volume of the liquid medium contained in the heat absorbing part 221 is larger than that of the liquid medium contained in the heat releasing part 222, and the heat accumulated in the liquid medium in the heat absorbing part 221 in the running state of the compressor 211 is enough to melt the frost layer of the evaporator 213, thereby ensuring the heating effect of the heat releasing part 222.
The heat absorbing portion 221 and the heat radiating portion 222 may be made of copper or aluminum. The liquid medium may be, but is not limited to, an alcohol, silicone, or ionic liquid having a high specific heat capacity. The freezing point of the liquid medium is lower than-35 ℃ and the boiling point is higher than 60 ℃.

The pump 223 is controlled to be turned on to circulate the liquid medium in the defrosting pipe. The liquid medium in the heat absorbing unit 221 flows to the heat radiating unit 222 by the pump 223, and the heat is indirectly transferred to the evaporator 213 through the heat radiating unit 222. When the pump 223 is in the off state, the liquid medium may not flow in the defrosting pipe. The pump 223 may be a micro water pump 223, but is not limited thereto.
In some optional embodiments, the defrosting pipeline may further include: and a heat insulation valve disposed between the discharge port of the heat radiation part 222 and the suction port of the heat absorption part 221 for controlled closing in an operation state of the compressor 211. After the heat insulation valve is closed, the passage between the heat releasing part 222 and the heat absorbing part 221 in the defrosting pipeline can be cut off to hinder the heat from being transferred between the heat releasing part 222 and the heat absorbing part 221 through the liquid medium, and the liquid medium with higher temperature can be reduced or avoided from flowing into the heat releasing part 222, so that the refrigerator 10 can utilize the heat generated by the refrigeration system 200 to heat the evaporator 213, and simultaneously, the influence on the refrigeration process can be reduced or avoided.
After the compressor 211 is started, the refrigerant circulates in the refrigeration circuit, the pump 223 is in a stop state, the heat insulation valve can be in a closed state, and the liquid medium does not flow in the defrosting circuit. The refrigerant releases heat under the action of the compressor 211, so that the temperature of the peripheral wall of the compressor 211 rises, and the liquid medium in the heat absorption part 221 absorbs the heat released by the peripheral wall of the compressor 211. The refrigerator 10 may start the defrosting mode according to actual needs. For example, whether the defrosting mode needs to be activated may be determined according to the temperature or heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator 213 in the operating state of the compressor 211. After the compressor 211 is stopped, the refrigerator 10 may start the defrost mode. In the stopped state of the compressor 211, the refrigerant may not flow in the refrigeration circuit. The heat-insulating valve can be controlled to open, so that an open channel is formed between the discharge port of the heat-radiating portion 222 and the suction port of the heat-absorbing portion 221, and the liquid medium in the heat-absorbing portion 221 is allowed to flow through the heat-radiating portion 222. The pump 223 may be controlled to be turned on to induce the liquid medium to flow in the defrosting pipe, so that the liquid medium in the heat absorbing part 221 flows through the heat releasing part 222 and transfers heat to the evaporator 213.
