Description

用於一冰箱的節能控制方法及系統 Energy-saving control method and system for a refrigerator

本發明是有關於冰箱,特別是指一種用於一冰箱的節能控制方法及系統。 The invention relates to a refrigerator, in particular to an energy-saving control method and system for a refrigerator.

現有的節能冰箱可經由使用者的手動操作從一般操作模式切換至一預定節能模式。在該預定節能模式下,此節能冰箱中耗能相對較高的電子組件,例如壓縮機被控制在一相對於一般操作模式較短的運轉期間內運轉。 The existing energy-saving refrigerator can be switched from the normal operation mode to a predetermined energy-saving mode by manual operation of the user. In the predetermined energy saving mode, the relatively high energy consuming electronic components in the energy efficient refrigerator, such as the compressor, are controlled to operate during a shorter period of operation relative to the normal mode of operation.

然而,在實際使用時,被人為設定在該節能模式下的此節能冰箱恐因其所在環境溫度的上升及/或其冷凍室或冷藏室的頻繁開啟而導致其內部的溫度上升,如此,恐不利於儲存於其內之食物的保冷及保鮮。另一方面,當冰箱運作在一般操作模式時,一設置在該冰箱的箱門上且用於抑制箱門外表面的水珠凝結的加熱器通常未被啟動。如此,當冰箱所在環境的溫度上升而導致冰箱的內部溫度與上升的外部環境溫度之間的溫差增加時,若冰箱仍運作在該一般操作模式,由於該加熱器未被啟動,則恐無法抑制箱門外表面水珠凝結的情形。 However, in actual use, the energy-saving refrigerator artificially set in the energy-saving mode may cause an increase in the temperature inside thereof due to an increase in the ambient temperature thereof and/or a frequent opening of the freezer compartment or the refrigerating compartment thereof. It is not conducive to the preservation and preservation of food stored in it. On the other hand, when the refrigerator operates in the normal operation mode, a heater disposed on the door of the refrigerator and for suppressing condensation of water on the outer surface of the door is generally not activated. Thus, when the temperature of the environment in which the refrigerator is raised causes the temperature difference between the internal temperature of the refrigerator and the rising external ambient temperature to increase, if the refrigerator is still operating in the normal operation mode, since the heater is not activated, it may not be suppressed. The case where the water droplets on the outer surface of the door are condensed.

If the result of the determination is affirmative, the flow proceeds to step S6, otherwise the flow proceeds to step S7. In this embodiment, the third reference condition includes, for example, a predetermined second threshold time. For example, the predetermined second threshold time may be 3 hours, but not limited thereto. More specifically, the processing unit 16 determines whether the historical cumulative turn-on time meets the third reference condition by determining whether the historical cumulative turn-on time is shorter than the predetermined second threshold time.

在步驟S6中,該處理單元16選擇該第三操作模式作為該目標模式,並控制該冰箱2操作在該目標模式。 In step S6, the processing unit 16 selects the third operation mode as the target mode, and controls the refrigerator 2 to operate in the target mode.

在步驟S7中,該處理單元16選擇該第四操作模式作為該目標模式,並控制該冰箱2操作在該目標模式。 In step S7, the processing unit 16 selects the fourth operation mode as the target mode, and controls the refrigerator 2 to operate in the target mode.

綜上所述,在本實施例中,由於該處理單元16是根據該外部溫度資料T1、該溼度資料H、該亮度資料B、該第一溫度資料T2、該第二溫度資料T3、該次數資料N、該第一時間資料t1、該轉速資料R、該天氣資訊I、及該第二時間資料t2,自該第一至第四 操作模式中選出一者作為一目標模式,並控制該冰箱2操作在該目標模式。因此,該冰箱2能以適應性地配合當下的外部環境、該內部儲存空間211的當下的溫度狀況、該第一箱門212的開關狀態及該壓縮機22的運轉情況的方式操作在該目標模式,不僅有利於儲存於其內之食物的保冷及保鮮,還有利於該冰箱2以相對有效率的方式利用能源。此外,由於該濕度感測模組112在接收到該致能信號之前是處於未啟動的狀態,而能相對節省該節能控制系統1所耗費的電力。故確實能達成本發明之目的。 In summary, in this embodiment, the processing unit 16 is based on the external temperature data T 1 , the humidity data H, the brightness data B, the first temperature data T 2 , and the second temperature data T 3 . The number of times data N, the first time data t 1 , the rotation speed data R, the weather information I, and the second time data t 2 are selected from the first to fourth operation modes as a target mode. And control the refrigerator 2 to operate in the target mode. Therefore, the refrigerator 2 can be operated at the target in an adaptive manner in accordance with the current external environment, the current temperature condition of the internal storage space 211, the switching state of the first tank door 212, and the operation of the compressor 22. The mode not only facilitates the cold preservation and preservation of the food stored therein, but also facilitates the use of energy by the refrigerator 2 in a relatively efficient manner. In addition, since the humidity sensing module 112 is in an un-activated state before receiving the enable signal, the power consumed by the energy-saving control system 1 can be relatively saved. Therefore, the object of the present invention can be achieved.
