냉기조절장치의 결빙방지방법How to prevent freezing of cold air conditioner

본 발명은 냉기조절장치의 결빙방지방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 주위 온도가 냉장고의 고내 온도보다 낮은 상태에서 냉장고의 운전이 정지하였을 때 냉장실에 고온고습의 식품부하를 투입하거나, 외기가 냉장실로 유입되면 이를 온도감지센서가 감지하게 하고, 이 감지한 온도와 냉장실 문의 개폐전의 온도차가 설정온도차 이상인 경우 댐퍼의 배풀의 열고, 냉동 팬을 구동시켜 냉기의 유동을 줌으로써, 결빙을 방지게 하는 냉기조절장치의 결빙방지방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method of preventing freezing of a cold air conditioner, and particularly, when a food load of high temperature and high humidity is put into a refrigerating compartment or an outside air flows into a refrigerating compartment when the operation of the refrigerator is stopped while the ambient temperature is lower than the internal temperature of the refrigerator. If the temperature sensor detects this, and if the detected temperature and the temperature difference before opening / closing the refrigerating compartment door are higher than the set temperature difference, the damper of the damper is opened and the refrigeration fan is driven to provide the flow of cold air to prevent freezing. It relates to a method of preventing freezing.

도 1은 종래 냉장고의 일예를 개략적으로 보인 정면도이고, 도 2는 도 1에서 냉기조절장치의 구성을 보인 측면도로서, 이에 도시된 바와 같이 냉장실에는 냉장실의 온도를 감지하여 온도를 제어하는 온도감지센서(S1, S2)가 냉장실의 좌,우 또는 뒷벽에 부착되어 있으며, 대개의 경우는 1개의 냉기차단막(Baffle)(10)을 가진 냉기조절장치(Damper, 2)로 냉장실 전체에 냉기를 공급하나, 필요에 따라서는 2개의 냉기차단막을 가진 냉기조절장치로 중칸과 하칸의 측벽에 온도감지센서를 부착하여 각각의 온도감지센서로 각 냉기조절장치의 냉기차단막을 제어하여 중칸과 하칸의 온도를 제어한다.1 is a front view schematically showing an example of a conventional refrigerator, and FIG. 2 is a side view showing the configuration of a cold air conditioner in FIG. 1, and as shown therein, a temperature sensing sensor controlling a temperature by sensing a temperature of a refrigerating compartment. (S1, S2) are attached to the left, right or rear wall of the refrigerating compartment, and in most cases, a cold air conditioner (Damper 2) having one baffle (10) supplies cold air to the entire refrigerating compartment. If necessary, a cold air conditioner with two cold air blocking membranes is attached to the side walls of the middle and lower bays, and the temperature sensor is used to control the cold air blocking membrane of each cold air conditioning unit. do.

주위 온도가 냉장고의 고내 온도보다 낮은 상태에서 냉장실의 온도가 설정된 온도(보통 3℃)에 도달하여 냉장고의 운전이 정지하였을 때 냉장실에 고온고습의 식품부하를 투입하거나, 외기가 냉장실 문을 열었을 때 냉장실로 유입되어 고내의 온도차에 의해 고내온도보다 항상 상대적으로 낮은 냉기차단막(10)의 표면이나 주위 구조물에 착상하여 물방울이 형성되고, 냉장고의 운전이 개시되어 저온(보통 18℃)의 냉기가 토출되면 얼음으로 성장하여 결빙이 발생한다.When the temperature of the fridge reaches the set temperature (usually 3 ℃) when the ambient temperature is lower than the refrigerator's internal temperature, the food load of high temperature and high humidity is put into the fridge or the outside air is opened in the fridge. Water droplets are formed on the surface or surrounding structure of the cold air barrier 10, which is relatively lower than the internal temperature due to the temperature difference in the refrigerator, and forms droplets, and the operation of the refrigerator is started to discharge cold air at low temperature (usually 18 ° C). When it grows to ice, freezing occurs.

결빙이 발생하는 원인은 도 3에 도시된 바와 같이 대개 냉장실의 온도만족시간과 냉동실의 온도만족시간이 서로 다르기 때문에 발생되는데, 압축기(미도시)와 냉동 팬(1)이 구동되고, 냉기조절장치(2)의 냉기차단막이 전개되면 냉장실의 온도가 설정온도(보통 3℃)에 도달하였는지를 판단하며, 통상 냉장실의 온도가 설정온도에 도달하는 것이 빠르며, 이 때문에 냉장실의 온도가 만족되면 냉기차단막(10)이 전폐되어 냉장실로 토출되던 냉기가 차단하고, 냉동실의 온도를 만족시키기 위해 냉장고가 운전하는 동안 저온의 냉기가 냉기차단막(10)을 지속적으로 냉각시켜 상기 냉기차단막의 표면 및 주위의 온도를 저온으로 유지시킨다(냉기가 정체되어 있어 유동이 없기 때문).The cause of freezing is usually caused by the temperature satisfaction time of the refrigerating compartment and the temperature satisfaction time of the freezer compartment as shown in FIG. 3, the compressor (not shown) and the refrigeration fan (1) is driven, the cold air conditioner When the cold air barrier of (2) is developed, it is determined whether the temperature of the refrigerating compartment has reached the set temperature (usually 3 ° C), and it is usually faster for the temperature of the refrigerating compartment to reach the set temperature. 10) is completely closed and the cold air discharged to the refrigerating compartment is blocked, and the cold air is continuously cooled by the cold air blocking membrane 10 while the refrigerator is operated to satisfy the temperature of the freezing compartment, thereby reducing the surface and surrounding temperature of the cold blocking membrane. Keep it cold (because it is stagnant and there is no flow).

상기와 같이 종래의 기술에 있어서는 도 4에 도시된 바와 같이 냉장실의 온도가 설정된 온도(보통 3℃)에 도달하여 냉장고의 운전이 정지하였을 때 냉장실에 고온고습의 식품부하를 투입하거나, 외기가 냉장실 문을 열었을 때 냉장실로 유입되어 고내의 온도차에 의해 고내온도보다 항상 상대적으로 낮은 냉기차단막(10)의 표면이나 주위 구조물에 착상하여 물방울이 형성됨으로써, 냉장고의 운전이 개시되어 저온의 냉기가 토출되면 얼음으로 결빙되어 냉장실로 토출되는 냉기가 제어되지 못해 고내의 온도가 저온으로 내려가 식품부하가 과냉되고, 또한 이를 해결하기는 위하여 히터를 부착함으로써, 그 만큼의 원가가 상승하는 문제점이 있었다.As described above, in the conventional art, as shown in FIG. 4, when the temperature of the refrigerating chamber reaches a set temperature (usually 3 ° C.) and the operation of the refrigerator is stopped, a food load of high temperature and high humidity is put into the refrigerating compartment, or the outside air is a refrigerating compartment. When the door is opened, water droplets are formed on the surface or surrounding structure of the cold air barrier 10, which is relatively lower than the internal temperature due to the temperature difference in the refrigerator, and thus drops of water are formed. Since the freezing air discharged into the refrigerating chamber is frozen by ice, the temperature in the refrigerator is lowered to a low temperature, the food load is supercooled, and a heater is attached to solve the problem.

따라서, 본 발명은 상기와 같은 종래의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 창안한 것으로, 주위 온도가 냉장고의 고내 온도보다 낮은 상태에서 냉장고의 운전이 정지하였을 때 냉장실에 고온고습의 식품부하를 투입하거나, 외기가 냉장실로 유입되면 이를 온도감지센서가 감지하게 하고, 이 감지한 온도와 냉장실 문의 개폐전의 온도차가 설정온도차 이상인 경우 댐퍼의 배풀의 열고, 냉동 팬을 구동시켜 냉기의 유동을 줌으로써, 결빙을 방지게 하는 방법을 제공함에 그 목적이 있다.Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and when the operation of the refrigerator is stopped while the ambient temperature is lower than the internal temperature of the refrigerator, the food load of high temperature and high humidity is put into the refrigerating chamber, When it enters the refrigerating chamber, the temperature sensor detects it. If the detected temperature and the temperature difference before opening and closing the refrigerating compartment door are more than the set temperature difference, the damper is opened and the refrigeration fan is driven to provide cold air flow to prevent freezing. The purpose is to provide a method.

이와 같은 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명 냉기조절장치의 결빙방지방법은 압축기 및 냉동 팬을 구동시키고, 냉기차단막을 전개한 후, 현재 냉장실 온도가 설정된 냉장실 온도에 도달하였는지를 판단하는 제1 단계와; 상기 제1 단계의 판단결과 도달하였으면 냉기차단막을 전폐한 다음 현재 냉동실 온도가 설정된 냉동실 온도에 도달하였는지를 판단하는 제2 단계와; 상기 제2 단계의 판단결과 도달하지 못하였으면 상기 제1 단계로 되돌아가고, 도달하였으면 압축기와 냉동 팬의 구동을 정지시킨 다음 온도센서에서 감지한 주위온도가 소정의 온도 이상인가를 판단하는 제3 단계와; 상기 제3 단계의 판단결과 소정의 온도 이상이면 상기 제1 단계로 되돌아가고, 소정의 온도 이하이면 냉장고 문이 열렸는지를 판단하는 제4 단계와; 상기 제4 단계의 판단결과 냉장고 문이 열렸으면 문의 개폐전후의 온도차가 설정온도차 이상인가를 판단하는 제5 단계와; 상기 제5 단계의 판단결과 설정온도차 이상이면 설정시간 동안 냉기차단막을 전개하고, 냉동 팬을 구동시킨 후, 정상모드로 복귀하는 제6 단계로 이루어진 것을 특징으로 한다.In order to achieve the above object, the freezing prevention method of the cold air conditioner according to the present invention includes a first step of driving a compressor and a refrigeration fan, deploying a cold air barrier, and determining whether the current refrigerator compartment temperature reaches a set refrigerator compartment temperature; A second step of determining whether the current freezer compartment temperature reaches a set freezer compartment temperature after closing the cold air barrier membrane if the determination result of the first stage is reached; A third step of returning to the first step if the determination result of the second step is not reached, stopping the operation of the compressor and the refrigeration fan if it reaches the second step, and then determining whether the ambient temperature detected by the temperature sensor is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature; Wow; A fourth step of determining whether the refrigerator door is opened when the temperature is higher than a predetermined temperature when the determination result of the third level is higher than the predetermined temperature; A fifth step of determining whether a temperature difference before and after opening and closing the door is equal to or greater than a set temperature difference when the refrigerator door is opened as a result of the determination in the fourth step; When the determination result of the fifth step is greater than or equal to the set temperature difference, it is characterized in that it comprises a sixth step of deploying the cold air blocking membrane for a set time, driving the refrigeration fan, and returning to the normal mode.

이하, 본 발명에 따른 일실시예를 첨부한 도면을 참조하여 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

도 5는 본 발명을 적용한 동작 흐름도로서, 이에 도시한 바와 같이 냉장고(압축기(미도시)와 냉동 팬(1)을 구동하고, 냉기차단막(10)을 전개)를 운전한 후, 냉장실의 온도가 설정온도(보통 냉장실은 3℃)에 도달하였는지를 판단하고, 이 판단결과 도달하였으면 냉기차단막(10)을 전폐하고(압축기와 냉동 팬(1)을 계속 구동), 냉동실의 온도가 설정한 온도에 도달하였는지를 판단하며, 이 판단결과 설정한 온도에 도달하였으면 상기 압축기와 냉동 팬(1)의 구동을 정지시킨다. 이후 냉장고의 운전이 정지되면 주위 온도감지센서(미도시)의 감지에 의해 감지되는 주위 온도가 12.5℃보다 높은가를 판단하며, 이 판단결과 높으면 상기 압축기와 냉동 팬(1)의 구동정지 및 냉기차단막(10)의 전폐상태를 유지한다. 만일 상기 판단결과 주위온도가 12.5℃보다 낮으면 냉장고의 문이 열렸는가를 감시하고 있다가 냉장고에 식품의 투입과 인출이 발생하면 온도감지센서(S1, S2)가 이를 감지하여 문의 개폐전후의 온도차가 설정온도차 이상인가를 판단하며, 설정온도차 이상이면 냉장실로 토출되는 냉기를 차단하고 있던 상기 냉기차단막(10)이 전개시키고, 냉동 팬(1)을 구동하여 그때까지 이 냉기차단막(10)에 의해 정체되어 있던 냉기를 아래 부분으로 흘려보내 냉기차단막의 온도를 고내온도 만큼 높힌다.FIG. 5 is an operation flowchart to which the present invention is applied. As shown in FIG. 5, after operating a refrigerator (driving a compressor (not shown) and a freezing fan 1 and developing a cold air blocking membrane 10), the temperature of the refrigerating compartment is increased. It is judged whether or not the set temperature (usually the refrigerating compartment is 3 ° C) is reached, and if the determination result is reached, the cold air blocking membrane 10 is closed (continuously driving the compressor and the freezing fan 1), and the temperature of the freezing compartment reaches the set temperature. If the temperature reaches the set temperature, the compressor and the refrigeration fan 1 are stopped. Thereafter, when the operation of the refrigerator is stopped, it is determined whether the ambient temperature detected by the detection of the ambient temperature sensor (not shown) is higher than 12.5 ° C. If the determination result is high, the driving stop and the cold air blocking membrane of the compressor and the refrigeration fan 1 are high. Maintain the closed state of (10). If the ambient temperature is lower than 12.5 ℃, the result of the determination is to monitor whether the door of the refrigerator is open, and if food is introduced or withdrawn in the refrigerator, the temperature sensor (S1, S2) detects this and the temperature difference before and after opening and closing the door is increased. It is determined whether the temperature difference is higher than the set temperature difference, and when the temperature difference is higher than the temperature difference, the cold air blocking membrane 10 which blocks the cold air discharged to the refrigerating chamber is developed, and the refrigeration fan 1 is driven to stagnate by the cold air blocking membrane 10 until then. The cold air flows down to the lower part and raises the temperature of the cold air blocking membrane by the internal temperature.

상기 냉기차단막(10)의 전개 및 냉동 팬(1)의 구동은 설정된 시간동안 계속 진행되며, 설정시간이 경과되면 자동적으로 해제되어 정상적인 운전조건으로 복귀한다.The development of the cold air blocking membrane 10 and the operation of the refrigeration fan 1 continue for a predetermined time, and when the set time has elapsed, it is automatically released to return to normal operating conditions.

상기 자동적으로 해제되는 시간의 설정은 냉장고의 고내 온도와 투입식품(고온,고습)의 온도가 일정하게 되면 해제되도록 설정하는데, 이는 고내 온도와 투입식품의 온도편차에 의해 식품의 습기가 증발하면서 상대적으로 저온인 냉기차단막이나 유로에 부착, 얼음으로 발생하는 것을 방지하는데 중요한 요소가 된다.The automatic release time is set to be released when the temperature in the refrigerator and the temperature of the food (high temperature and humidity) become constant, which is relatively high as the moisture of the food evaporates due to the temperature deviation of the food and the food. As a result, it is an important factor to prevent the occurrence of ice as it adheres to the low temperature cold air barrier or flow path.

이상에서 설명한 바와 같이 본 발명 냉기조절장치의 결빙방지방법은 주위 온도가 냉장고의 고내 온도보다 낮은 상태에서 냉장고의 운전을 정지하고 있을 때 발생하는 고내 온도차에 의한 냉기차단막 및 냉기 유로의 결빙을 방지하고, 또한 히터를 사용하지 않으므로 원가의 상승을 억제하는 효과가 있다.As described above, the freezing prevention method of the cold air conditioner of the present invention prevents freezing of the cold air blocking membrane and the cold air flow path due to the difference in the internal temperature generated when the operation of the refrigerator is stopped while the ambient temperature is lower than the internal temperature of the refrigerator. In addition, since the heater is not used, there is an effect of suppressing the increase in cost.
