Said dishwasher, television, refrigerator and washing machine devices already have a saving mode. The method described here is a system which activates the saving mode when electricity is expensive and operates the devices in normal operating mode during cheaper periods by means of a controller. However, the present invention stores energy during periods when the electricity is cheap and the temperature is low and consumes this saved energy when the electricity is expensive and the temperature is high.
Consequently, a new refrigerator is required in which the state of the art is exceeded, the disadvantages are eliminated. Brief Description of the Invention:

Description of the Invention:
In this detailed description, the inventive refrigerator (1 ) is described by means of examples only for clarifying the subject matter such that no limiting effect is created. In the description a refrigerator (1 ) which saves the energy spent by the cooler unit (3) according to the intraday electricity price, ambient temperature values is described.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the inventive refrigerator (1 ). Accordingly, the refrigerator (1 ) consists of a deep freezer unit (2) and a cooler unit (3) and naturally the value of the temperature in the deep freezer unit (2) is lower than the cooler unit (3). There is a saving unit (10) between the cooler unit (3) and the deep freezer unit (2). The saving unit (10) is an element which can be able to store energy and transfer this energy to the cooler unit (3).
In Figure 2, a view which shows the energy saving situation of the saving unit (10) that it receives from the freezer unit (2) is given. Accordingly, the saving unit (10) stores the heat in the deep freezer unit (2) within itself in time periods when the electricity unit price and temperature are low.
In Figure 3, a view which shows the situation where the saving unit (10) transfers the stored energy to the cooler unit (3) is given. Accordingly, the saving unit (10) transfers the previously stored energy to the cooler unit (3) in time periods when the electricity unit price and temperature are high. Flow the energy transfer from the deep freezer unit (2) to the saving unit (10), from the saving unit (10) to the cooling unit (3) is provided, how the energy is stored in the saving unit (10) will be described in detail in the description herein below. In Figure 4, the perspective view of the saving unit (10) is given and in Figure 5, the exploded assembly view of the same is given. According to the figures, the saving chamber (10) consists of an upper lock plate (11 ), a lower lock plate (12), a storage insulation chamber (14), storage inner chamber (15) and a transfer plate (16). When the electricity unit price and temperature are low, the upper lock plate (11 ) activates and transfers the heat in the deep freezer unit (2) into the storage inner chamber (15). It cuts the energy transfer between the deep freezer unit (2) and the saving unit (10) by means of deactivating in the time periods when the electricity unit price and the temperatures are high. On the other hand the lower lock plate (12) activates in time periods when the electricity unit price and temperatures are high and transfers the stored energy in the storage inner chamber (15) to the cooler unit (3) and thus cools the cooler unit (3). Moreover, the lower lock plate (12) cuts the energy transfer between the deep freezer unit (2) and the saving unit (10) by means of being deactivated in the time periods when the electricity unit price and the temperatures are low. The upper lock plate (11 ) and the lower lock plate (12) are the same elements, are activated and deactivated by means of a controller (20) programmed with software. The time periods when the electricity unit price and temperature are low are coded on the software and subsequently the upper lock plate (11 ) and the lower lock plate (12) are controlled by the controller (20).
In Figure 6, a view showing the storage insulation chamber (14) and storage inner chamber (15) included in the saving chamber (10) of the invention is given. Accordingly the storage inner chamber (15) is placed within the storage insulation chamber (14) and it is the place where the energy received from the deep freezer (2) is stored. It has many big cylinders (151 ) and small cylinders (152) in it. There is a cooling fluid in the big cylinder (151 ) and small cylinder (152). The cylinders (151 , 152) are provided with different volumes by means of using big cylinder (151 ) and small cylinder (152) here. Consequently, the energy transfer is extended over a period of time as the phase transformation temperatures of the fluids located in the big cylinder (151 ) and small cylinder (152) are different. The cooling fluid can be any fluid or gel which is used in the refrigerators (1 ). When the ambient temperature and the electricity unit price is low, the compressor of the refrigerator (1 ) is operated with maximum power and energy transfer to the storage inner chamber (15) from the deep freezer unit (2) is provided with the activation of the upper lock plate (11 ). There is no energy transfer between the saving chamber (10) and the cooler unit (3) when the lower lock plate (12) is deactivated. In the beginning of this situation, cooling fluid within the big cylinder (151 ) and the small cylinder (152) in the storage inner chamber (15) is in the liquid phase, as compressor continues to operate at maximum power, it turns into the solid phase by means of freezing. The compressor operates at low-medium power in the time period when the ambient temperature and electricity unit price are relatively higher. In this case, no energy transfer is provided to both the deep freezer unit (2) and the cooler unit (3) by the saving unit (10) when the lower lock plate (12) and upper lock plate (11 ) are closed. The liquid within the big cylinder (151 ) and the small cylinder (152) in the storage inner chamber (15) is completely in a solid phase. When the ambient temperature and the electricity unit price are at its highest point, energy is saved by means of operating the compressor at minimum power. In this case, the upper lock plate (11 ) is in closed position and any energy transfer between the deep freezer unit (2) and the saving unit (10) is not permitted. However, the lower lock plate (12) is in open position and thus energy transfer between the storage inner chamber (15) and the cooler unit (3) is enabled. The cooling fluid in the big cylinder (151 ) and small cylinder (152) in the inner storage chamber (15) is in solid (frozen) form, the energy it has is transferred to the cooler unit (3) by means of the lower lock plate (12). The energy requirement for carrying out the cooling process by the cooler unit (3) is provided by the saving unit (10). The cooing fluid within the big cylinder (151 ) and the small cylinder (152) transforms into liquid phase from the solid phase while the energy transfer continues. In the invention, the gap remains from the cylinders (151 , 152) included in the inner storage chamber (15) is filled with a fluid with a relatively low freezing point. This liquid never freezes during the operation of the refrigerator (1 ). The energy coming from the upper lock plate (11 ) can be transferred to the cylinders (151 , 152) homogeneously by means of this fluid with low freezing point. Moreover, this fluid also contains air gaps which provide the cylinders (151 , 152) to expand and contract as a result of solidifying and liquefying phase transformations. The controller (20) which controls opening and closing of the upper lock plate (11 ) and the lower lock plate (12) as well as controls the operation of the compressor, controls the operation of the elements according to the time periods when the electricity unit price and temperature are low and high.
In Figure 7, an exploded assembly view of the upper lock plate (11 ) of the invention is given. Accordingly the upper lock plate (11 ) consists of the upper lock upper fixed part (111 ), upper lock middle moving part (112), upper lock lower fixed part (113) and upper lock frame (114). When the upper lock middle moving part (112) located on the middle portion of the upper lock plate (11 ) moves in the direction of arrows linearly, a large number of metal plates (13) with high thermal conductivity coefficient located on the upper lock upper fixed part (111 ), the upper lock middle moving part (112), the upper lock lower fixed part (113) contact each other and transfers the energy in the deep freezer unit (2) to the storage inner chamber (15), enables the cooling fluid in the big cylinder (151 ) and the small cylinder (152) to transform from liquid phase to solid phase, namely enables the energy received from the deep freezer unit (2) to be stored. In this case, the contact of the metal plates (13) are cut in the opposite movement carried out by the upper lock medium moving part (112) in the linear direction and the energy transmission between the deep freezer unit (2) and the storage unit (15) by closing the upper lock plate (11 ). The energy transmission between the deep freezer unit (2) and the storage inner chamber (15) is provided by a large number of metal plates (13) made of material with high heat transmission coefficient. The linear motion of the upper plate middle moving part (112) is controlled by the controller (20) programmed by a software. In Figure 8, an exploded assembly view of the lower lock plate (12) of the invention is given. Accordingly the upper lock plate (12) consists of the lower lock upper fixed part (121 ), lower lock middle moving part (122), and lower lock lower fixed part (123) and lower lock frame (124). When the lower lock middle moving part (122) located on the middle portion of the lower lock plate (12) moves in the direction of arrows linearly, a large number of metal plates (13) with high thermal conductivity coefficient located on the lower lock upper fixed part (121 ), the lower lock middle moving part (122), the lower lock lower fixed part (123) contact each other and transfers the energy in the saving unit (10) to the cooler unit (3) and cools the cooler unit (3). In this case, the contact of the metal plates (13) are cut in the opposite movement carried out by the lower lock middle moving part (122) in the linear direction and the energy transmission between the cooler unit (3) and the storage unit (15) is prevented by closing the lower lock plate (12). The energy transmission between the cooler unit (3) and the storage inner chamber (15) is provided by a large number of metal plates (13) made of material with high heat transmission coefficient. The working principles of the lower lock middle moving part (122) and the upper lock middle moving part (112) of the invention are the same. The movements of both of them are controlled with a controller (20).
In Figure 9, an illustrative view of the lower lock plate (12) of the invention is given. The lower lock plate (12) and the upper lock plate (11 ) are the same elements, but the sections where they are located are different so their reference numbers are different. In the figure the operation and energy transmission principle of the lock plates (11 , 12) is described. The operation principle of the lock plates (11 , 12) is described over the lower lock plate (12) however the operation principles herein are same for the upper lock plate (11 ). Accordingly, when the lower lock middle moving part (122) located on the middle portion of the lower lock plate (12) moves in the direction of arrows linearly, a large number of metal plates (13) with high thermal conductivity coefficient located on the lower lock upper fixed part (121 ), the lower lock middle moving part (122), the lower lock lower fixed part (123) contact each other. The metal plates (13) are made of materials with high thermal conductivity coefficient. The section of the metal plates (13) in the lower lock upper fixed part (121 ) is in contact with the storage inner chamber (15) and the section of the same in the lower lock fixed part (123) is in contact with the transfer plate (16), when the metal plates (13) are combined by moving the lower lock middle moving part (122), the energy in the storage inner chamber (15) is transferred to the cooler unit (3) with the help of the metal plates (13) over the transfer plate (16). The transfer plate (16) which is located under the lower lock mechanism (12) enables the heat transfer to accelerate when necessary by means of engaging the metal plate with the inner air circulation of the cooler unit (3). The air circulation fans in the refrigerator (1 ) can be able to distribute the energy in the transfer plate (16) into the cooler unit (3) in a rapid and homogenous manner. When the lower lock middle moving part (122) is moved in the linear direction again, the energy transfer is prevented by means of cutting the connection of the metal plates (13) in the lower lock upper fixed part (121 ) and the lower lock lower fixed part (123). This is the situation where the lower lock plate (12) is closed. Similarly, when the upper lock middle moving part (112) located on the middle portion of the upper lock plate (11 ) moves in the direction of the arrows linearly, a large number of metal plates (13) with high thermal conductivity coefficient located on the upper lock upper fixed part (111 ), the upper lock middle moving part (112), the upper lock lower fixed part (113) contact each other. The section of the metal plates (13) in the upper lock upper fixed part (111 ) is in contact with the deep freezer chamber (2) and the section of the same in the upper lock lower fixed part (113) is in contact with the storage inner chamber (15), when the metal plates (13) are combined by moving the upper lock middle moving part (112), the energy in the deep freezer unit (2) is transferred to the storage inner chamber (15) in the saving unit (10) with the help of the metal plates (13). When the upper lock middle moving part (112) is moved in the linear direction again, the energy transfer is prevented by means of cutting the connection of the metal plates (13) in the upper lock upper fixed part (111 ) and the upper lock lower fixed part (113). This is the situation where the upper lock plate (11 ) is closed.
In Figure 10, the detailed view of the lower lock plate (12) is given. The lower lock frame (124) located on the lower lock plate (12) comprises a sliding structure to perform the linear movement within the lower lock frame (124) of the lower lock middle moving part (122). Flere the sliding structure contains all structures such as any nail, slot and similar structures to perform the linear movement. Similarly, the upper lock frame (114) located on the upper lock plate (11 ) comprises a sliding structure to perform the linear movement within the upper lock frame (114) of the upper lock middle moving part (112). The movements of the upper lock middle moving part (112) and the lower lock middle moving part (122) are transmitted to the controller (20) by means of being programmed by the software according to the parameters of the electricity unit price and the ambient temperature and the linear movements are performed by the controller (20).
In Figure 12, a graph showing the temperature values of different regions is given. The temperature contains weather forecast which changes from day to day and generally decreases at the same hours and increases at the same hours according to the graph. If the software is programmed according to this and data is transmitted to the controller (20), then a refrigerator (1 ) is provided in which the energy is stored in the hours when the temperature is low and energy is consumed in the hours when the temperature is high. Since it is known that the refrigerators (1 ) require more energy for cooling in time periods when the temperature is high.
In Figure 13, the electricity unit prices of a region at different hours of the day are shown. The time range when the electricity unit price is the lowest is between 22:00 PM and 06:00 AM according to the graph. The refrigerator (1 ) will store the energy by operating with full performance at these hour intervals, it will use the stored energy between 17:00-22:00 intervals by operating with minimum performance when the electricity unit price will be the highest.
The controller (20) in the refrigerator (1 ) can adjust the operation and saving conditions of the refrigerator (1 ) according to the optimum temperature values in the future by measuring the ambient temperatures in determined periods daily. The temperatures of the phase conversion, the temperatures of the cylinders (151 , 152) filled with different fluids are continuously measured by the controller, by the system. The phase conversion temperatures are defined on the controller. As it is described above, the controller considers that the phase conversion continues as long as it sees the perceived temperature is fixed at the phase conversion temperature, and when it perceives a higher or a lower temperature, it considers that the conversion is completed; it understands that the energy is stored or discharged in/from the storage (15) unit, thus it controls the locks and power unit. This situation also prevents from unnecessary and improper operating as well as provides controlling the locks and heat transfer speed.
