下面参考图 5描述根据本发明一个实施例的水箱。 如图 5 所示, 根据本发明实施例的 水箱包括箱体 1和箱门 2 , 箱体 1内限定有位于上部的冷藏室 5和位于下部的冷冻室 7。 可 选地, 在冷藏室 5和冷冻室 7之间还可以设有变温室 B。 在冷藏室 5后面 (图 5中的左侧) 设有冷藏蒸发器 3 , 在冷藏蒸发器 3与冷藏室 5之间设有冷藏风道 F , 冷藏通道 F内可以设 置泡沫材料(未示出), 冷藏风道 F与冷藏室 5之间设有冷藏风机 4 , 冷藏风机 4用于将冷 藏蒸发器 3产生的冷空气输送到冷藏室 5内。 在图 5所示的实施例中, 变温室 B也通过冷 藏蒸发器 3产生的冷空气制冷, 但是本发明并不限于此。
冷冻室 7的后面设有冷冻蒸发器 6。压缩机 9安装在箱体 1的底部,冷凝器 8设置在箱 体底部压缩机 9右侧。
下面参考图 4描述 # ^据本发明实施例的风冷水箱的制冷系统。 如图 4所示, 冷藏蒸发 器 3和冷冻蒸发器 6设置在一个制冷系统中, 压缩机 9、 冷凝器 8、 防露管 12、 千燥过滤 器 11、 作为切换单元的电磁阀 10、 和冷冻蒸发器 7依次相连, 其中电磁阀 10通过冷冻毛 细管 1 3与冷冻蒸发器 6相连。此外,电磁阀 10还通过冷藏毛细管 14与冷藏蒸发器 3相连, 冷藏蒸发器 3和冷藏毛细管 14与冷冻毛细管 1 3并联。电磁阀 10用于选择性地将制冷剂供 给到冷藏蒸发器 3 , 从而选择性地控制冷藏室 5的制冷。
根据本发明实施例的水箱, 冷藏室 5和冷冻室 7分别由独立的蒸发器制冷, 并且釆用 一个制冷系统, 从而减少了部件数量, 降低了成本。
在本发明的一些实施例中,如图 6和 7所示,冷藏蒸发器 3包括盘管 3 1和多个翅片 32。 盘管 31在纵向 (图 6中的竖直方向)上呈波紋状延伸以便盘管 31在纵向上构成多层横向 管段 31 1 , 相邻横向管段 31 1之间可以通过弧形过渡管段 31 2相连, 以便两个相邻横向管 段 31 1与过渡管段 31 2构成大体 U形。 多个翅片 32沿横向(图 6中的左右方向)排列且连 接到多层横向管段 32上, 其中至少一部分翅片 32在纵向上不连续。 在本发明的一些实施 例中, 翅片 32在纵向上不连续可以通过将纵向一个整体的翅片设置断开实现。 可选地, 每 层横向管段 31 1上连接的翅片 32可以为独立的翅片,从而每层横向管段 31 1上连接的翅片 32在纵向上不连续。
在本发明的一些具体示例中, 如图 6所示, 每个翅片 32沿纵向具有分别位于相邻两个 横向管段 31 1之间的多个断开点, 从而每个翅片 32在纵向上由不连续的多段构成。
在本发明的具体示例中, 每个翅片 32上设有通孔(未示出), 多层横向管段 31 1分别 穿过翅片 32上的多个通孔, 从而将翅片 32与横向管段 31 1相连。 可选地, 翅片 32也可以 分别焊接到横向管段 31 1上。
根据本发明的实施例, 由于翅片 32具有在纵向上不连续的分体式结构。 因此可利用水 的表面张力在每段翅片 32的底端形成小水滴, 由此避免水滴沿纵向连续的翅片流动和汇聚 从而造成水分流失, 延长了水滴停留在冷藏蒸发器 3上的时间, 可以通过水汽循环的方式 将这些小水滴带入冷藏室 5内 , 使冷藏室 5保持较高的湿度。 例如可利用冷藏风机 4将多 段翅片 32上化霜产生的小水滴变为水汽带入冷藏室 5内,有效减少冷藏室 5内的水分流失, 避免水滴顺着纵向连续的翅片迅速向下流动而很快汇聚流入底部的接水盘被排出箱体 1。 因此能够使冷藏室 5处于一个较高的湿度状态, 减少食物的水分流失并延长其保鲜时间, 显著改善冷藏室 5的保鲜性能。
下面参考图 1 - 3描述 据本发明实施例的风冷水箱的控制方法和控制系统, 居本发 明实施例的控制方法和控制系统可以根据冷藏蒸发器的温度合理、 灵活地调整冷藏风机 4 的转速, 从而将冷藏蒸发器 3上的化霜水送入冷藏室 5内 , 保持冷藏室 5内的湿度。

在本发明的一些实施例中, 如果冷藏室 5 内的温度为丁2 < 1\<1\ , 例如, 冷藏室 5 内的 温度是从 Τ,朝向 Τ2降低, 那么可以维持冷藏蒸发器 3的运行且保持冷藏风机 4的转速 Γι , 直到 T2 < TL小于 T2停止冷藏蒸发器 3的运行。 可选地, 当 T2 <

在本发明的一些实施例中, 根据冷藏蒸发器 3的温度 T„调整冷藏风机的转速可以是随 着温度 Τ„升高逐渐降低冷藏风机 4的转速, 换言之, 冷藏蒸发器 3的温度越高, 冷藏风机 4的转速越低, 从而冷藏室 5内的湿度更大。
下面参考图 2描述才 居本发明另一实施例的控制方法, 在图 2所示的实施例中, 才艮据 温度 Τ„调整冷藏风机的转速是随着温度 Τ„升高, 阶段性地降低冷藏风机 4的转速。
更具体而言, 如图 2所示, 根据本发明另一实施例的控制方法包括如下步骤: 首先, 检测冷藏室 5内的温度 TL (步骤 S201 )。
接着, 判断冷藏室 5 内的温度 TL是否大于或等于第一预设温度 1\ (步骤 S 202 )。 如果 TL > T\则启动冷藏蒸发器 3进行制冷且将冷藏风机 4的转速调整为 ^ (步骤 S 203 )。
如果温度
Figure imgf000007_0002
则进一步判断温度 TL是否低于第二预设温度 T2 (步骤 S 204 )。
如果温度 TL<T2, 停止冷藏蒸发器 3并检测冷藏蒸发器 3表面的温度 T„ (步骤 S 205 )。 接下, 根据冷藏蒸发器 3的温度 Τ„调整冷藏风机 4的转速, 由此调节冷藏室 3内的湿 度。 更具体而言, 判断 Τ„是否小于 t3 (步骤 2601 ), 如果 T„< t3,将冷藏风机 4的转速调整为 r2 (步骤 2602 )。 如果 T„不小于 t3,则判断 T„是否小于 t4 (步骤 2603 ), 如果 t3 < T„<t4, 则 将冷藏风机 4的转速调整为 r3 (步骤 2604 )。 如果 T„不小于 t4 , 则判断 T„> t4 (步骤 2605 ), 则将冷藏风机 4的转速调整为 r4 (步骤 2606 )。 其中 t3为第三预设温度, t4为第四预设温 度, 且 r4 < r3 < r2 < rl o
