이하, 도 1과 도 2를 참조하여, 종래기술에 따른 냉장고의 운전 제어방법을 설명하면 다음과 같다.1 and 2, the operation control method of the refrigerator according to the prior art will be described.
첫째, 제1 냉장실(3)과 제2 냉장실(4)의 온도 중 제1 냉장실의 온도가 설정온도범위(A)의 상한치(b)를 초과할 경우, RF 사이클 운전을 시작하는 단계와, 이와 동시에 냉장실용 증발기팬(14a)을 구동시키는 단계와, 이와 동시에 제1 냉장실용 댐퍼(7)를 개방시키는 단계와, 소정시간이 지나 상기 제1 냉장실의 온도가 설정온도범위(A)의 하한치(a)에 도달할 경우 상기 제1 냉장실용 댐퍼(7)를 차단시키는 단계로 이루어진다.First, when the temperature of the first refrigerator compartment among the temperatures of the first refrigerator compartment (3) and the second refrigerator compartment 4 exceeds the upper limit (b) of the set temperature range (A), starting the RF cycle operation, and Simultaneously driving the refrigerator compartment evaporator fan 14a; simultaneously opening the first refrigerator compartment damper 7; and after a predetermined time, the temperature of the first refrigerator compartment is equal to the lower limit of the set temperature range (A). When the a) is reached, the first refrigeration chamber damper 7 is blocked.
둘째, 제1 냉장실(3)과 제2 냉장실(4)의 온도 중 제2 냉장실의 온도가 설정온도범위(B)의 상한치(d)를 초과할 결우, RF 사이클 운전을 시작하는 단계와, 이와 동시에 냉장실용 증발기팬(14a)을 구동시키는 단계와, 이와 동시에 제2 냉장실용 댐퍼(8)를 개방시키는 단계와, 소정시간이 지나 상기 제2 냉장실의 온도가 설정온도범위(B)의 하한치(c)에 도달할 경우 상기 제2 냉장실용 댐퍼(8)를 차단시키는 단계로 이루어진다.Secondly, if the temperature of the second refrigerating compartment among the temperatures of the first refrigerating compartment (3) and the second refrigerating compartment (4) exceeds the upper limit (d) of the set temperature range (B), starting the RF cycle operation, and Simultaneously driving the refrigerator compartment evaporator fan 14a; simultaneously opening the second refrigerator compartment damper 8; and after a predetermined time, the temperature of the second refrigerator compartment is equal to the lower limit of the set temperature range (B). c) blocking the second refrigerating chamber damper (8).
셋째, 제1 냉장실(3)과 제2 냉장실(4)의 온도가 각 설정온도범위(A,B)내에 도달하면, RF 사이클을 종료하는 단계로 이루어진다.Third, when the temperatures of the first refrigerating chamber 3 and the second refrigerating chamber 4 reach within the set temperature ranges A and B, the RF cycle is terminated.
하지만, 상기와 같이 이루어진 종래기술에 따른 냉장고의 운전 제어방법은다음과 같은 문제점을 가지고 있다.However, the operation control method of the refrigerator according to the prior art made as described above has the following problems.
도 2에 도시된 바와 같이, 제1 냉장실(3)과 제2 냉장실(4)의 온도가 각 설정온도범위(A,B)내에 있도록 하기 위해, RF 사이클 및 냉장실용 증발기팬(14a)은 제1 냉장실의 온도가 설정온도범위(A)의 상한치(b)에 도달할 때 뿐만 아니라 제2 냉장실의 온도가 설정온도범위(B)의 상한치(d)에 도달할 때에도 운전 및 구동하게 되는데, 이 때, 상기와 같이, RF 사이클 및 하나의 냉장실용 증발기팬(14a)이 제1 냉장실(3) 및 제2 냉장실(4)의 온도에 따라 독립적으로 운전 및 구동하게 되면, RF 사이클이 짧은 시간 간격으로 온/오프를 반복하게 되고, 또한 냉장실용 증발기팬(14a)의 초기 구동횟수는 증가하게 된다(도 2의 Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ,Ⅴ 참조).As shown in FIG. 2, in order to ensure that the temperatures of the first refrigerating compartment 3 and the second refrigerating compartment 4 are within the respective set temperature ranges A and B, the RF cycle and the refrigerating compartment evaporator fan 14a are provided.

In addition, the operation noise and power consumption of the device can be reduced.
이제까지 본 발명에 대하여 그 바람직한 실시예를 중심으로 살펴보았으며, 본 발명이 속하는 기술분야에서 통상의 지식을 가진 자는 본 발명의 본질적 기술 범위 내에서 상기 본 발명의 상세한 설명과 다른 형태의 실시예들을 구현할 수 있을 것이다. 여기서 본 발명의 본질적 기술 범위는 특허청구범위에 나타나 있으며, 그와 동등한 범위 내에 있는 모든 차이점은 본 발명에 포함된 것으로 해석되어야 할 것이다.So far, the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, and those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains to the detailed description of the present invention and other forms of embodiments within the essential technical scope of the present invention. Could be implemented. Here, the essential technical scope of the present invention is shown in the claims, and all differences within the equivalent range will be construed as being included in the present invention.
이상에서와 같이, 본 발명은 동시냉각패턴이 이루어지도록 냉장고의 운전제어방법을 개선하여 RF 사이클 운전 및 냉장실용 증발기팬의 온/오프 반복횟수를 줄일 수 있게 한 것으로서, 다음과 같은 효과가 있다.As described above, the present invention is to improve the operation control method of the refrigerator to achieve a simultaneous cooling pattern to reduce the number of on / off repetition of the RF cycle operation and the evaporator fan for the refrigerating chamber, and has the following effects.
첫째, 기기의 수명을 연장시키는 효과가 있다.First, there is an effect of extending the life of the device.
둘째, 기기의 운전소음 및 소비전력을 저감시키는 효과가 있다.Second, there is an effect of reducing the operation noise and power consumption of the device.
