Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that cold air is wasted due to interruption of an refrigerator interior fan irrespective of cold air remaining in the vicinity of a cooler right after interruption of a compressor because the compressor and the fan are operated and interrupted at a same timing in the constitution of a conventional refrigerator wherein operation/interruption of the compressor is controlled identically with operation/interruption of the fan. SOLUTION: Operation/interruption of the refrigerator interior fan is controlled by comparing refrigerator interior fan operation/interruption temperature with freezing compartment temperature detected by a freezing compartment temperature sensor, separately from control of the compressor for controlling operation/interruption of the compressor by comparing compressor operation/ interruption temperature with the freezing compartment temperature detected by the freezing compartment temperature sensor.

The operation / stop control of the compressor of the refrigerator / freezer and the operation / stop control of the internal fan will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. The operation / stop of the compressor is determined by comparing the compressor operation / stop temperature with the freezing room temperature detected by the freezing room temperature sensor 2 as shown in the flowchart of the conventional compressor freezing room temperature determination in FIG. did. The internal fan 4 blows cold air around the cooler 3 during operation of the compressor 1 into the freezer compartments 8 and 9 to operate during operation of the compressor 1 and near the cooler 3 while the compressor 1 is stopped. Since it is not necessary to blow the cold air in the freezer compartments 8 and 9, the internal fan 4 is stopped while the compressor 1 is stopped. Therefore, it is not necessary to compare and determine the operating / stop temperature of the internal fan 4 and the freezer compartment temperature sensor 2, and there is no control program.

As shown in FIG. 6, the compressor 5 and the internal fan 4
When the temperature T1 detected by the freezer compartment temperature sensor 2 rises above the compressor / internal fan ON temperature T2, the compressor operating state T5 and the internal fan operating state T6 are turned on. Further, the temperature T1 detected by the freezer compartment temperature sensor 2 is the compressor OFF temperature T.

When the cooling time is likely to be long during the operation of only the internal fan 4 under the condition that the compressor OFF temperature T3> the internal fan OFF temperature T4, the compressor is turned off.
The temperature T3 is the same as the internal fan OFF temperature T4. That is, the temperature is lowered to T4. From that point, the compressor is started and the cooling is completed in a time shorter than the temperature T8 detected by the freezer compartment temperature sensor when the cooling speed is slow, and the cooling short time T9 is reached.
Only the cooling time is shortened. To determine the increase of the cooling load such as opening the door of the refrigerator, the outside air temperature is high, and the amount of food is increasing, the load detecting means in the microcomputer-equipped controller 11 determines whether the temperature detected by the inside temperature sensor 2 is equal to the set temperature inside the refrigerator. If the difference is larger than a predetermined temperature, the temperature detected by the internal temperature sensor 2 is higher than the preset internal temperature, and the decrease in internal temperature per unit time is smaller than the predetermined temperature, it is determined that the cooling load is increased. , Compressor O
Lower the FF temperature. As a result, the cooling time can be shortened by operating the compressor when there is no residual cold air around the cooler and the freezer cannot be cooled only by operating the internal fan.

As shown in FIG. 7, the compressor 5 and the internal fan 4
When the temperature T1 detected by the freezer compartment temperature sensor 2 rises above the compressor / compartment fan ON temperature T2, the compressor operating state T5 and the in-compartment fan operating state T6 are turned on. Further, the temperature T1 detected by the freezer compartment temperature sensor 2 is the compressor OFF temperature T4,
When the in-compartment fan OFF temperature T4 or less is reached, each operating state is turned OFF. If the cooling load becomes light during the operation of the compressor 5 and the internal fan 4 under the condition that the compressor OFF temperature T4 and the internal fan OFF temperature T4 are the same, the compressor O
FF temperature T3> in-compartment fan OFF temperature T4. If the temperature detected by the freezer compartment temperature sensor 2 at that time is equal to or lower than the compressor OFF temperature T3, the compressor 5 is stopped and only the internal fan 4 is cooled. Therefore, the operating time of the compressor 5 is shortened and energy is saved. To determine whether the cooling load is reduced, the load detection means in the microcomputer-equipped controller 11 determines whether the difference between the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 2 in the refrigerator and the preset temperature in the refrigerator is larger than a predetermined temperature, or the temperature in the refrigerator per hour. When the decrease is larger than the specified temperature, it is judged that the cooling load is decreased and the compressor is turned off.
