Description

冰箱的控制方法及冰箱Refrigerator control method and refrigerator 技术领域technical field
本发明涉及冷藏冷冻技术，特别是涉及一种冰箱的控制方法及冰箱。The invention relates to refrigeration and freezing technology, in particular to a refrigerator control method and the refrigerator.
背景技术Background technique
随着冰箱深入人们的日常生活，用户对冰箱的功能需求越来越多，例如，人们希望冰箱并非单纯地用来存储水果蔬菜、肉类等需要高湿度的普通食物，还希望用来存储一些需要低湿环境的干货食材。为了满足用户对干燥空间、高湿空间的需求，且为了避免空间的浪费，目前已有相关技术通过在冰箱中设置能够干湿功能转换的储物装置来保存对湿度要求不同的食材。As refrigerators penetrate into people's daily life, users have more and more functional requirements for refrigerators. For example, people hope that refrigerators are not only used to store fruits, vegetables, meat and other ordinary foods that require high humidity, but also to store some Dry ingredients that require a low-humidity environment. In order to meet users' needs for dry space and high-humidity space, and to avoid space waste, there are currently related technologies that store food materials with different humidity requirements by setting a storage device capable of switching between dry and wet functions in the refrigerator.
然而，当用户将储物装置从保湿模式转换成干燥模式时，储物装置内原本存放的果蔬的味道可能导致干货串味，同时原本存放的果蔬极易在储物装置内滋生一定的微生物，容易造成新食材的污染，导致食材变质。同理，当用户将储物装置从干燥模式转换成保湿模式时，干货的味道可能也会引起果蔬串味。为了解决上述技术问题，现有技术中通常在储物装置的送风口或回风口处设置除味模块，以在储物装置送风时实现除味功能，然而，除味的效果并不理想。迄今为止，现有技术中仍然未找到上述问题的成因。However, when the user switches the storage device from the moisturizing mode to the drying mode, the smell of the fruits and vegetables originally stored in the storage device may lead to the smell of dry goods. Contamination of new ingredients leads to deterioration of ingredients. In the same way, when the user switches the storage device from the dry mode to the moisturizing mode, the smell of dry goods may also cause the smell of fruits and vegetables. In order to solve the above technical problems, in the prior art, a deodorization module is usually installed at the air supply port or the air return port of the storage device to realize the deodorization function when the storage device supplies air. However, the deodorization effect is not ideal. So far, the causes of the above problems have not been found in the prior art.
发明内容Contents of the invention
除味模块的除味效果不理想时，本领域技术人员通常从除味模块本身找原因或者更换除味模块，但是仍然不能够取得较好的效果。本申请的发明人对储物装置的干湿调节过程进行深入分析后认识到，这并不是除味模块本身的问题，而是除味模块与冰箱的其他结构之间的相互配合不佳导致的。除味模块通常通过负离子、臭氧等物质实现杀菌或除味功能，然而，负离子或臭氧的浓度必须达到一定的浓度才能形成有效的杀菌除味效果。现有技术中将除味模块设置在储物装置的送风口或回风口，其产生的负离子或臭氧扩散到冰箱的多个区域，难以保证储物装置内的负离子或臭氧浓度，因此，除味效果不明显。在保湿模式下，储物装置通常是不送风的，封闭的，此时除味模块几乎起不到任何作用。When the deodorization effect of the deodorization module is not ideal, those skilled in the art usually find the reason from the deodorization module itself or replace the deodorization module, but still can not achieve a better effect. The inventor of the present application conducted an in-depth analysis of the dry-humidity adjustment process of the storage device and realized that this is not a problem with the deodorization module itself, but caused by poor cooperation between the deodorization module and other structures of the refrigerator . The deodorization module usually realizes the sterilization or deodorization function through negative ions, ozone and other substances. However, the concentration of negative ions or ozone must reach a certain concentration to form an effective sterilization and deodorization effect. In the prior art, the deodorization module is installed at the air supply port or the air return port of the storage device, and the negative ions or ozone generated by it diffuse to multiple areas of the refrigerator, and it is difficult to ensure the concentration of negative ions or ozone in the storage device. Therefore, deodorization no significant effect. In the moisturizing mode, the storage device is usually not ventilated and closed, and the deodorizing module hardly plays any role at this time.
为此，本发明第一方面的一个目的旨在克服现有技术的至少一个缺陷，提供一种能够对储物装置进行有效地杀菌除味的冰箱控制方法。Therefore, an object of the first aspect of the present invention is to overcome at least one defect of the prior art, and provide a refrigerator control method capable of effectively sterilizing and deodorizing storage devices.

根据本发明的第二方面，本发明还提供一种冰箱，包括用于储存物品的储物间室、用于提供冷却气流的蒸发器和设置在所述储物间室中的储物装置，所述储物装置具有预设湿度范围不同的干燥模式和保湿模式；所述冰箱还包括：According to the second aspect of the present invention, the present invention also provides a refrigerator, comprising a storage compartment for storing items, an evaporator for providing cooling airflow, and a storage device arranged in the storage compartment, The storage device has a drying mode and a moisturizing mode with different preset humidity ranges; the refrigerator also includes:
装置送风风门，配置成选择性地允许冷却气流流向所述储物装置；a device supply damper configured to selectively allow cooling airflow to the storage device;

本发明的冰箱在接收到储物装置从保湿模式切换为干燥模式的模式切换信号后立即发出提示信息，以提示用户储物装置的模式转换启动，明示或暗示用户此时储物装置的模式转换刚开始，尚未转换完毕，不宜即刻放入物品。在该模式转换过程中，为了降低储物装置内的湿度，打开装置送风风门以向储物装置内输入冷却气流。为了对储物装置进行杀菌除味，启动杀菌除味装置以向储物装置内释放杀菌除味物质。然而，若与储物装置进行气流循环的范围或区域过大，很难提高杀菌除味物质的浓度，杀菌除味效果不明显。为此，本发明在装置送风风门打开、且杀菌除味装置运行时，控制间室送风风门关闭，以阻断蒸发器和储物间室之间的气流循环，使得蒸发器仅与储物装置连通，由此，杀菌除味物质分布的区域仅限于储物装置、蒸发器所在的蒸发器室以及二者之间的连接通道，有效地防止了杀菌除味物质散失到空间非常大的储物间室中，提高了储物装置内的杀菌除味物质的浓度，从而能够对储物装置进行有效的杀菌除味。The refrigerator of the present invention immediately sends a prompt message after receiving the mode switching signal that the storage device switches from the moisturizing mode to the drying mode, to prompt the user to start the mode switching of the storage device, expressly or hinting at the user's mode switching of the storage device at this time At the beginning, the transformation has not been completed, so it is not suitable to put items in immediately. During the mode conversion, in order to reduce the humidity in the storage device, the air supply door of the device is opened to input cooling airflow into the storage device. In order to sterilize and deodorize the storage device, the sterilizing and deodorizing device is activated to release the sterilizing and deodorizing substance into the storage device. However, if the range or area of air circulation with the storage device is too large, it is difficult to increase the concentration of the sterilizing and deodorizing substances, and the effect of sterilizing and deodorizing is not obvious. For this reason, when the air supply door of the device is opened and the sterilizing and deodorizing device is in operation, the air supply door of the control compartment is closed to block the air circulation between the evaporator and the storage compartment, so that the evaporator is only connected to the storage compartment. Therefore, the area where the sterilizing and deodorizing substances are distributed is limited to the storage device, the evaporator room where the evaporator is located, and the connecting channel between the two, effectively preventing the sterilizing and deodorizing substances from being lost to a very large space. In the storage compartment, the concentration of the sterilizing and deodorizing substances in the storage device is increased, so that the storage device can be effectively sterilized and deodorized.
进一步地，在第一模式转换过程中，当启动杀菌除味装置后，并不会直接打开装置送风风门，而是先判断储物间室是否处于制冷状态，再根据储物 间室的制冷与否分别执行不同的操作。当储物间室处于制冷状态时，说明蒸发器内已经通入制冷剂，此时蒸发器的温度已经很低，气流流经蒸发器后形成的冷却气流的温度和湿度都比较低，此时可以直接打开装置送风风门，允许冷却气流立即流入储物装置中，从而快速地使储物装置内形成低湿的储物环境。当储物间室处于非制冷状态时，说明蒸发器内没有制冷剂流过，此时需要强制启动制冷以使得制冷剂流过蒸发器，从而降低蒸发器的温度，使得气流流经蒸发器后湿度降低。同时，还需要保持间室送风风门的关闭状态，以避免杀菌除味装置产生的杀菌除味物质扩散到储物间室中。在满足预设条件后再打开装置送风风门，延迟了装置送风风门的开启时间，此时形成的冷却气流的湿度足够低，可以有效地降低储物装置内的湿度，不会出现储物装置内的湿度短暂升高的现象，确保了干货类物品较好的保存品质，避免了干货类物品受潮变质。Furthermore, during the conversion of the first mode, when the sterilizing and deodorizing device is started, the air supply damper of the device will not be opened directly, but it is first judged whether the storage compartment is in a cooling state, and then according to the cooling state of the storage compartment, or not perform different operations respectively. When the storage compartment is in the cooling state, it means that the evaporator has been fed with refrigerant, and the temperature of the evaporator is already very low at this time. The air supply door of the device can be opened directly, allowing the cooling airflow to flow into the storage device immediately, thereby quickly forming a low-humidity storage environment in the storage device. When the storage compartment is in a non-refrigerated state, it means that there is no refrigerant flowing through the evaporator. At this time, it is necessary to force the refrigeration to be started to make the refrigerant flow through the evaporator, thereby reducing the temperature of the evaporator, so that the airflow flows through the evaporator The humidity is reduced. At the same time, it is also necessary to keep the air supply damper of the compartment closed, so as to prevent the sterilizing and deodorizing substances produced by the sterilizing and deodorizing device from diffusing into the storage compartment. Open the air supply damper of the device after meeting the preset conditions, which delays the opening time of the air supply damper of the device. At this time, the humidity of the cooling airflow formed at this time is low enough, which can effectively reduce the humidity in the storage device and prevent storage The short-term rise of the humidity in the device ensures the better preservation quality of the dry goods and avoids the deterioration of the dry goods.

图3是根据本发明一个实施例的冰箱的控制方法的示意性流程图。本发明的控制方法包括：Fig. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a method for controlling a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention. Control method of the present invention comprises:
步骤S10，在接收到用于表示将储物装置20由保湿模式切换为干燥模式的模式切换信号后，发出用于表示储物装置20的第一模式转换启动的提示信息；Step S10, after receiving a mode switching signal indicating that the storage device 20 is switched from the moisturizing mode to the drying mode, sending a prompt message indicating that the first mode switching of the storage device 20 is started;
步骤S20，在储物装置20的第一模式转换过程中，通过打开装置送风风门41以向储物装置20内输入冷却气流的方式降低储物装置20内的湿度，并启动杀菌除味装置43，以向储物装置20内释放杀菌除味物质；在装置送风风门41处于打开状态、且杀菌除味装置43处于开启状态时，控制间室送风风门42关闭；Step S20, during the conversion process of the first mode of the storage device 20, the humidity in the storage device 20 is reduced by opening the air supply door 41 of the device to input cooling airflow into the storage device 20, and the sterilizing and deodorizing device is activated 43, to release the sterilizing and deodorizing substances into the storage device 20; when the air supply damper 41 of the device is in the open state and the sterilizing and deodorizing device 43 is in the open state, the control compartment air supply damper 42 is closed;
步骤S30，当储物装置20的第一模式转换完成时，发出用于表示储物装置20的第一模式转换完毕的提示信息。Step S30 , when the conversion of the first mode of the storage device 20 is completed, sending a prompt message indicating that the conversion of the first mode of the storage device 20 is completed.
本发明的冰箱在接收到储物装置20从保湿模式切换为干燥模式的模式切换信号后立即发出提示信息，以提示用户储物装置的模式转换启动，明示或暗示用户此时储物装置的模式转换刚开始，尚未转换完毕，不宜即刻放入 物品。在该模式转换过程中，为了降低储物装置20内的湿度，打开装置送风风门41以向储物装置20内输入冷却气流。为了对储物装置20进行杀菌除味，启动杀菌除味装置43以向储物装置20内释放杀菌除味物质。然而，若与储物装置20进行气流循环的范围或区域过大，很难提高杀菌除味物质的浓度，杀菌除味效果不明显。为此，本发明在装置送风风门41打开、且杀菌除味装置43运行时，控制间室送风风门42关闭，以阻断蒸发器30和储物间室11之间的气流循环，使得蒸发器30仅与储物装置20连通，由此，杀菌除味物质分布的区域仅限于储物装置20、蒸发器30所在的蒸发器室12以及二者之间的连接通道，有效地防止了杀菌除味物质散失到空间非常大的储物间室11中，提高了储物装置20内的杀菌除味物质的浓度，从而能够对储物装置20进行有效的杀菌除味。在储物装置20的第一模式转换完成后，再次发出提示信息，以提示用户储物装置的模式转换完毕，明示或暗示用户此时可以放入物品。The refrigerator of the present invention immediately sends a prompt message after receiving the mode switching signal that the storage device 20 switches from the moisturizing mode to the drying mode, to prompt the user to start the mode switching of the storage device, expressly or implying the mode of the storage device to the user at this time The conversion has just started, and the conversion has not been completed, so it is not suitable to put items in immediately. During the mode conversion, in order to reduce the humidity in the storage device 20 , the device air supply door 41 is opened to input cooling airflow into the storage device 20 . In order to sterilize and deodorize the storage device 20 , the sterilizing and deodorizing device 43 is activated to release the sterilizing and deodorizing substance into the storage device 20 . However, if the range or area of air circulation with the storage device 20 is too large, it is difficult to increase the concentration of the sterilizing and deodorizing substances, and the effect of sterilizing and deodorizing is not obvious. For this reason, in the present invention, when the air supply damper 41 of the device is opened and the sterilizing and deodorizing device 43 is running, the air supply damper 42 of the control compartment is closed to block the air circulation between the evaporator 30 and the storage compartment 11, so that The evaporator 30 is only in communication with the storage device 20, thus, the area where the sterilizing and deodorizing substances are distributed is limited to the storage device 20, the evaporator chamber 12 where the evaporator 30 is located, and the connecting channel between the two, effectively preventing The sterilizing and deodorizing substance is lost into the storage compartment 11 with a very large space, which increases the concentration of the sterilizing and deodorizing substance in the storage device 20 , so that the storage device 20 can be effectively sterilized and deodorized. After the first mode conversion of the storage device 20 is completed, a prompt message is sent again to remind the user that the storage device 20 has completed the mode conversion, indicating or implying that the user can put items in at this time.
本发明的控制方法向用户提供了储物装置模式转换的启动和结束的提示信息，明确了物品放入储物装置的最佳时机，便于用户在准确的时间将物品放入储物装置，确保了物品较好的保存品质，避免了物品放入储物装置过早导致物品产生异味、滋生细菌、失水严重或受潮变质。The control method of the present invention provides the user with prompt information on the start and end of the mode conversion of the storage device, and clarifies the best time to put the item into the storage device, so that the user can put the item into the storage device at an accurate time, ensuring This ensures the better preservation quality of the items, and avoids that the items are put into the storage device too early to cause the items to produce peculiar smell, breed bacteria, suffer from serious dehydration or be damp and deteriorated.
图4是根据本发明一个实施例的储物装置的第一模式转换过程的示意性流程图。在一些实施例中，储物装置20的第一模式转换过程具体包括：Fig. 4 is a schematic flowchart of a first mode conversion process of the storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the first mode switching process of the storage device 20 specifically includes:
步骤S21，启动杀菌除味装置43，以向储物装置20内释放杀菌除味物质；Step S21, start the sterilizing and deodorizing device 43 to release the sterilizing and deodorizing substance into the storage device 20;
步骤S22，判断储物间室1是否处于制冷状态；若是，则转步骤S23，若否，则转步骤S24；Step S22, judging whether the storage compartment 1 is in a cooling state; if yes, go to step S23, if not, go to step S24;
步骤S23，关闭间室送风风门42，直接打开装置送风风门41；Step S23, close the compartment air supply damper 42, and directly open the device air supply damper 41;
步骤S24，强制启动制冷，保持间室送风风门42关闭，并在满足预设条件后再打开装置送风风门41。In step S24, the cooling is forcibly started, the compartment air supply damper 42 is kept closed, and the device air supply damper 41 is opened after the preset condition is met.
也就是说，在第一模式转换过程中，当启动杀菌除味装置43后，并不会直接打开装置送风风门41，而是先判断储物间室是否处于制冷状态，再根据储物间室的制冷与否分别执行不同的操作。当储物间室11处于制冷状态时，说明蒸发器30内已经通入制冷剂，且送风风机80处于运行状态。此时蒸发器30的温度已经很低，气流流经蒸发器30后形成的冷却气流的温度和 湿度都比较低，此时可以直接打开装置送风风门41，允许冷却气流立即流入储物装置20中，从而快速地使储物装置20内形成低湿无菌且没有异味的储物环境。当储物间室11处于非制冷状态时，说明蒸发器30内没有制冷剂流过，且送风风机80处于停止状态，此时需要强制启动制冷以使得制冷剂流过蒸发器30、启动送风风机80，从而降低蒸发器30的温度，使得气流流经蒸发器30后湿度降低。同时，还需要保持间室送风风门42的关闭状态，以避免杀菌除味装置43产生的杀菌除味物质扩散到储物间室11中。在满足预设条件后再打开装置送风风门41，延迟了装置送风风门41的开启时间，此时形成的冷却气流的湿度足够低，可以有效地降低储物装置20内的湿度，不会出现储物装置20内的湿度短暂升高的现象，确保了干货类物品较好的保存品质，避免了干货类物品受潮变质。That is to say, in the first mode switching process, when the sterilizing and deodorizing device 43 is started, the air supply damper 41 of the device will not be opened directly, but it is first judged whether the storage compartment is in a cooling state, and then according to the Different operations are performed depending on whether the chamber is cooled or not. When the storage compartment 11 is in the refrigerated state, it means that the evaporator 30 has been fed with refrigerant, and the blower fan 80 is in the running state. At this time, the temperature of the evaporator 30 is already very low, and the temperature and humidity of the cooling airflow formed after the airflow flows through the evaporator 30 are relatively low. At this time, the device air supply damper 41 can be directly opened to allow the cooling airflow to flow into the storage device 20 immediately. In this way, a low-humidity, sterile and odor-free storage environment is quickly formed in the storage device 20 . When the storage compartment 11 is in a non-cooling state, it means that there is no refrigerant flowing through the evaporator 30, and the blower fan 80 is in a stopped state. The air blower 80 reduces the temperature of the evaporator 30, so that the humidity of the airflow decreases after passing through the evaporator 30. At the same time, it is also necessary to keep the compartment air supply damper 42 in a closed state, so as to prevent the sterilizing and deodorizing substances produced by the sterilizing and deodorizing device 43 from diffusing into the storage compartment 11 . Open the device air supply damper 41 after meeting the preset conditions, delaying the opening time of the device air supply damper 41, the humidity of the cooling airflow formed at this time is low enough, can effectively reduce the humidity in the storage device 20, will not The phenomenon that the humidity in the storage device 20 rises temporarily ensures better preservation quality of the dry goods and avoids the deterioration of the dry goods due to moisture.
在一些实施例中，储物装置20的第一模式转换过程还包括：In some embodiments, the first mode switching process of the storage device 20 further includes:
获取储物装置20内的湿度和杀菌除味物质的浓度；Obtain the humidity and the concentration of the sterilizing and deodorizing substances in the storage device 20;
当储物装置20内的湿度达到干燥模式对应的预设湿度范围内时关闭装置送风风门41，并恢复间室送风风门42的开闭状态；When the humidity in the storage device 20 reaches the preset humidity range corresponding to the drying mode, the device air supply damper 41 is closed, and the opening and closing state of the compartment air supply damper 42 is restored;
当杀菌除味物质的浓度达到第一预设浓度值时停止杀菌除味装置43；当杀菌除味装置43停止后杀菌除味物质的浓度降低至第二预设浓度值时储物装置20内的杀菌除味完成；When the concentration of the sterilizing and deodorizing substance reaches the first preset concentration value, stop the sterilizing and deodorizing device 43; The sterilization and deodorization is completed;
当储物装置20内的湿度达到干燥模式对应的预设湿度范围内、且储物装置20内的杀菌除味完成时，储物装置20的模式转换完成。When the humidity in the storage device 20 reaches the preset humidity range corresponding to the drying mode and the sterilization and deodorization in the storage device 20 is completed, the mode switching of the storage device 20 is completed.
具体地，可以先对储物装置20内的湿度进行判断、再对储物装置20内内的杀菌除味物质的浓度进行判断，也可以先对储物装置20内内的杀菌除味物质的浓度进行判断、再对储物装置20内的湿度进行判断。Specifically, the humidity in the storage device 20 can be judged first, and then the concentration of the sterilizing and deodorizing substance in the storage device 20 can be judged; The concentration is judged, and then the humidity in the storage device 20 is judged.
当判定储物装置20内的湿度达到干燥模式对应的预设湿度范围内时，装置送风风门41的关闭和间室送风风门42开闭状态的恢复可以同时进行。其中，恢复间室送风风门42的开闭状态意指：若间室送风风门42在启动杀菌除味装置43之前处于打开状态(即储物间室处于制冷状态)，则将间室送风风门42恢复至打开状态，若间室送风风门42在启动杀菌除味装置43之前处于关闭状态(即储物间室处于非制冷状态)，则继续保持间室送风风门42的关闭状态。When it is determined that the humidity in the storage device 20 reaches the preset humidity range corresponding to the drying mode, the closing of the air supply damper 41 of the device and the recovery of the open and closed state of the air supply damper 42 of the compartment can be performed simultaneously. Wherein, restoring the opening and closing state of the air supply damper 42 of the compartment means: if the air supply damper 42 of the compartment is in an open state before starting the sterilizing and deodorizing device 43 (that is, the storage compartment is in a cooling state), the compartment is sent to The damper 42 returns to the open state. If the air supply damper 42 of the compartment is in the closed state before the sterilizing and deodorizing device 43 is started (that is, the storage compartment is in a non-refrigerating state), the closed state of the air supply damper 42 of the compartment will continue to be maintained. .
当杀菌除味物质的浓度达到第一预设浓度值时，说明杀菌除味物质的浓 度足够高，能够起到有效的杀菌除味功能，此时关闭杀菌除味装置43可以减少能耗。当杀菌除味物质的浓度降低至第二预设浓度值后，说明对储物装置内的杀菌除味操作进行了一段时间，并取得了一定的效果，此时判定储物装置20内的杀菌除味完成可以尽可能地缩短储物装置20模式转换的时间。When the concentration of the sterilizing and deodorizing substance reaches the first preset concentration value, it indicates that the concentration of the sterilizing and deodorizing substance is high enough to effectively sterilize and deodorize. At this time, closing the sterilizing and deodorizing device 43 can reduce energy consumption. When the concentration of the sterilizing and deodorizing substance is reduced to the second preset concentration value, it means that the sterilizing and deodorizing operation in the storage device has been carried out for a period of time, and a certain effect has been achieved. The completion of deodorization can shorten the time for mode conversion of the storage device 20 as much as possible.
在一些实施例中，步骤S24中的预设条件可以为储物间室11强制启动制冷达到第一预设时长。也就是说，可以通过装置送风风门41延迟打开的时间控制装置送风风门41的开启，不需要获取其他参数或对参数进行复杂的分析处理，简化了冰箱的控制逻辑。In some embodiments, the preset condition in step S24 may be that the storage compartment 11 is forced to start cooling for a first preset duration. That is to say, the opening of the device air supply damper 41 can be controlled by delaying the opening time of the device air supply damper 41, without obtaining other parameters or performing complex analysis and processing on the parameters, which simplifies the control logic of the refrigerator.
在另一些实施例中，步骤S24中的预设条件可以为蒸发器30产生的冷却气流相对于储物装置20内的环境所具有的相对湿度值低于预设湿度阈值。也就是说，可以直接通过冷却气流的相对湿度控制装置送风风门41的开启，更加符合实际情况，控制精度也比较高。In other embodiments, the preset condition in step S24 may be that the relative humidity of the cooling airflow generated by the evaporator 30 relative to the environment in the storage device 20 is lower than a preset humidity threshold. That is to say, the opening of the air supply damper 41 can be directly controlled by the relative humidity of the cooling air flow, which is more in line with the actual situation, and the control accuracy is relatively high.
在又一些实施例中，步骤S24中的预设条件可以为蒸发器30产生的冷却气流的温度低于预设温度阈值。也就是说，可以直接根据冷却气流的温度控制装置送风风门41的开启。申请人认识到，气流流经蒸发器30后，气流的温度和湿度同时降低，因此，可以通过冷却气流的温度间接地判断冷却气流湿度的高低。并且，冷却气流的温度直接通过感温头等感温装置获得，比起获取气流湿度的装置来说，感温头的成本低很多。为此，本发明直接根据冷却气流的温度与预设温度阈值之间的对比控制装置送风风门41的开启，不但符合实际情况，而且还有效地控制了冰箱1成本的增加。In still other embodiments, the preset condition in step S24 may be that the temperature of the cooling airflow generated by the evaporator 30 is lower than a preset temperature threshold. That is to say, the opening of the air supply damper 41 of the device can be directly controlled according to the temperature of the cooling airflow. The applicant realizes that after the airflow passes through the evaporator 30, the temperature and humidity of the airflow decrease at the same time, therefore, the humidity of the cooling airflow can be judged indirectly by the temperature of the cooling airflow. Moreover, the temperature of the cooling air flow is obtained directly through temperature-sensing devices such as a temperature-sensing head, and the cost of the temperature-sensing head is much lower than the device for obtaining the humidity of the air flow. Therefore, the present invention directly controls the opening of the air supply damper 41 according to the comparison between the temperature of the cooling air flow and the preset temperature threshold, which not only conforms to the actual situation, but also effectively controls the increase of the cost of the refrigerator 1 .
在一些实施例中，启动杀菌除味装置43，以向储物装置20内释放杀菌除味物质的步骤S21具体可包括：In some embodiments, the step S21 of activating the sterilizing and deodorizing device 43 to release the sterilizing and deodorizing substance into the storage device 20 may specifically include:
向杀菌除味装置43提供第一电压，以使得杀菌除味装置43释放的杀菌除味物质中的大部分为臭氧、小部分为负离子。The first voltage is provided to the sterilizing and deodorizing device 43, so that most of the sterilizing and deodorizing substances released by the sterilizing and deodorizing device 43 are ozone, and a small part is negative ions.
也就是说，当储物装置20由保湿模式切换为干燥模式时，由于其原来存放的果蔬等物品含水量较大，极易产生细菌。因此，在该模式切换过程中，主要对储物装置20内进行杀菌。臭氧的杀菌能力较强，可以通过调节对杀菌除味装置43施加的电压使其产生较多的臭氧和部分的负离子，从而达到以杀菌为主、除味为辅的功能。That is to say, when the storage device 20 is switched from the moisturizing mode to the drying mode, since the original stored fruits and vegetables have relatively high water content, bacteria are likely to be generated. Therefore, during the mode switching process, the storage device 20 is mainly sterilized. The sterilizing ability of ozone is strong, and the voltage applied to the sterilizing and deodorizing device 43 can be adjusted to generate more ozone and some negative ions, so as to achieve the main function of sterilizing and supplemented by deodorizing.
图5是根据本发明一个实施例的冰箱的部分控制方法的示意性流程图。在一些实施例中，本发明的控制方法还包括：Fig. 5 is a schematic flowchart of a partial control method of a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the control method of the present invention also includes:
步骤S10’，在接收到用于表示将储物装置20由干燥模式切换为保湿模式的模式切换信号后，发出用于表示储物装置20的第二模式转换启动的提示信息；Step S10', after receiving a mode switching signal indicating that the storage device 20 is switched from the drying mode to the moisturizing mode, sending a prompt message indicating that the second mode switching of the storage device 20 is started;
步骤S20’，在储物装置20的第二模式转换过程中，关闭装置送风风门41以阻止冷却气流流入储物装置20内，并启动杀菌除味装置43，以向储物装置20内释放杀菌除味物质；Step S20', during the second mode conversion process of the storage device 20, close the air supply door 41 of the device to prevent the cooling airflow from flowing into the storage device 20, and activate the sterilization and deodorization device 43 to release the air into the storage device 20. Sterilizing and deodorizing substances;
步骤S30’，当储物装置20的第二模式转换完成时，发出用于表示储物装置20的第二模式转换完毕的提示信息。Step S30', when the conversion of the second mode of the storage device 20 is completed, a prompt message indicating that the conversion of the second mode of the storage device 20 is completed.
本发明的冰箱在接收到储物装置20从干燥模式切换为保湿模式的模式切换信号后立即发出提示信息，以提示用户储物装置的第二模式转换启动，明示或暗示用户此时储物装置的模式转换刚开始，尚未转换完毕，不宜即刻放入物品。在储物装置20的第二模式转换完成后，再次发出提示信息，以提示用户储物装置20的模式转换完毕，明示或暗示用户此时可以放入物品，由此，可以避免果蔬等物品的水分过度流失。The refrigerator of the present invention immediately sends a prompt message after receiving the mode switching signal that the storage device 20 switches from the drying mode to the moisturizing mode, to remind the user that the second mode switching of the storage device starts, expressly or implying that the storage device 20 is at this time The mode conversion has just started, and the conversion has not been completed, so it is not suitable to put items in immediately. After the second mode conversion of the storage device 20 is completed, a prompt message is issued again to remind the user that the mode conversion of the storage device 20 is completed, expressly or hinting that the user can put in the item at this time, thus, it is possible to avoid items such as fruits and vegetables. Excessive water loss.
进一步地，储物装置20的第二模式转换过程还包括：Further, the second mode switching process of the storage device 20 also includes:
获取储物装置20内的湿度和杀菌除味物质的浓度；Obtain the humidity and the concentration of the sterilizing and deodorizing substances in the storage device 20;
当杀菌除味物质的浓度达到第三预设浓度值时停止杀菌除味装置43；当杀菌除味装置43停止后杀菌除味物质的浓度降低至第四预设浓度值时储物装置20内的杀菌除味完成；When the concentration of the sterilizing and deodorizing substance reaches the third preset concentration value, stop the sterilizing and deodorizing device 43; The sterilization and deodorization is completed;
当储物装置20内的湿度达到保湿模式对应的预设湿度范围内、且储物装置20内的杀菌除味完成时，储物装置20的第二模式转换完成。When the humidity in the storage device 20 reaches the preset humidity range corresponding to the moisturizing mode and the sterilization and deodorization in the storage device 20 is completed, the conversion of the second mode of the storage device 20 is completed.
由此，可以在储物装置20内形成无菌、无异味且高湿的储物环境，非常有利于果蔬等物品的保存。Thus, a sterile, odor-free and high-humidity storage environment can be formed in the storage device 20, which is very beneficial to the preservation of fruits and vegetables and other items.
当杀菌除味物质的浓度达到第三预设浓度值时，说明杀菌除味物质的浓度足够高，能够起到有效的杀菌除味功能，此时关闭杀菌除味装置43可以减少能耗。当杀菌除味物质的浓度降低至第四预设浓度值后，说明对储物装置20内的杀菌除味操作进行了一段时间，并取得了一定的效果，此时判定储物装置20内的杀菌除味完成可以尽可能地缩短储物装置20模式转换的时间。When the concentration of the sterilizing and deodorizing substance reaches the third preset concentration value, it means that the concentration of the sterilizing and deodorizing substance is high enough to perform an effective sterilizing and deodorizing function. At this time, turning off the sterilizing and deodorizing device 43 can reduce energy consumption. When the concentration of the sterilizing and deodorizing substance decreases to the fourth preset concentration value, it indicates that the sterilizing and deodorizing operation in the storage device 20 has been carried out for a period of time, and a certain effect has been achieved. The completion of sterilization and deodorization can shorten the time for mode conversion of the storage device 20 as much as possible.
在一些实施例中，启动杀菌除味装置43，以向储物装置20内释放杀菌除味物质的步骤具体可包括：In some embodiments, the step of activating the sterilizing and deodorizing device 43 to release the sterilizing and deodorizing substance into the storage device 20 may specifically include:
向杀菌除味装置43提供第二电压，以使得杀菌除味装置43释放的杀菌除味物质中的大部分为负离子、小部分为臭氧。The second voltage is provided to the sterilizing and deodorizing device 43, so that most of the sterilizing and deodorizing substances released by the sterilizing and deodorizing device 43 are negative ions and a small part is ozone.
也就是说，当储物装置20由干燥模式切换为保湿模式时，由于其原来存放的药品、茶叶等物品的味道较大，极易串味儿。因此，在该模式切换过程中，主要对储物装置20内进行除味。负离子的吸附异味能力较强，可以通过调节对杀菌除味装置43施加的电压使其产生较多的负离子和部分的臭氧，从而达到以除味为主、杀菌为辅的功能。That is to say, when the storage device 20 is switched from the drying mode to the moisturizing mode, because the original stored medicines, tea leaves and other items have a strong smell, it is easy to smell. Therefore, during the mode switching process, the storage device 20 is mainly deodorized. Negative ions have a strong ability to absorb odors, and the voltage applied to the sterilization and deodorization device 43 can be adjusted to generate more negative ions and part of ozone, thereby achieving the main function of deodorization and supplemented by sterilization.
具体地，第一电压的范围可以为2800～3400V，第二电压的范围可以为2000～2800V。Specifically, the range of the first voltage may be 2800-3400V, and the range of the second voltage may be 2000-2800V.
申请人认识到，现有技术通常通过关闭装置送风风门阻止冷却气流继续进入储物装置20内，然而却忽略了储物装置20的回风口，储物装置20的回风口直接暴露于储物间室11，存在储物间室11的回风通过储物装置20的回风口进入储物装置20内对储物装置20内的温湿度产生影响的情况。The applicant realized that the prior art usually prevents the cooling airflow from continuing to enter the storage device 20 by closing the air supply door of the device, but ignores the air return port of the storage device 20, which is directly exposed to the storage device 20. In the compartment 11 , the return air of the storage compartment 11 may enter the storage device 20 through the return air outlet of the storage device 20 and affect the temperature and humidity in the storage device 20 .
为此，在一些实施例中，冰箱1还包括选择性地允许储物装置20内的气流返回蒸发器30的装置回风风门44。具体地，装置回风风门44可设置在储物装置20的回风口处，当装置回风风门44打开时，允许储物装置20内的气流返回蒸发器30；当装置回风风门44关闭时，阻止储物装置20内的气流返回蒸发器30。To this end, in some embodiments, the refrigerator 1 further includes a device return air damper 44 that selectively allows the airflow in the storage device 20 to return to the evaporator 30 . Specifically, the device return air damper 44 can be arranged at the air return port of the storage device 20, and when the device return air damper 44 is opened, the airflow in the storage device 20 is allowed to return to the evaporator 30; when the device return air damper 44 is closed, , preventing the airflow in the storage device 20 from returning to the evaporator 30 .
进一步地，装置回风风门44配置成与装置送风风门41同步开启和同步关闭。Further, the device air return damper 44 is configured to be opened and closed synchronously with the device air supply damper 41 .
当储物装置20切换至干燥模式、且满足一定条件时，装置送风风门41和装置回风风门44可受控地打开以允许蒸发器30产生的冷却气流流入储物装置20内，储物装置20内原有的空气经回风口和储物间室11的回风风道返回蒸发器30，从而置换储物装置20内的空气。由于气流流经温度较低的蒸发器30时，气流中的水分会在蒸发器30上凝结，从而使得形成的冷却气流的温度和湿度都比较低，因此当冷却气流置换储物装置20内的空气后储物装置20内可形成低温低湿的干燥储物空间。当储物装置20内的湿度降低至干燥模式对应的预设湿度阈值、且储物装置20内的杀菌除味完成时可受控地关闭装置送风风门41和装置回风风门44。此时，即便储物间室11的回风风道内有回风气流流过、且无论储物装置20内是否形成负压，在装置回风风门44的阻挡下，储物间室的回风风道及储物间室11内的气流都不会流 入储物装置20中对储物装置20中的湿度产生影响。When the storage device 20 switches to the drying mode and meets certain conditions, the device air supply damper 41 and the device return air damper 44 can be controlled to open to allow the cooling airflow generated by the evaporator 30 to flow into the storage device 20, and the storage device The original air in the device 20 returns to the evaporator 30 through the return air outlet and the return air duct of the storage compartment 11 , thereby replacing the air in the storage device 20 . When the air flow passes through the evaporator 30 with a lower temperature, the moisture in the air flow will condense on the evaporator 30, so that the temperature and humidity of the formed cooling air flow are relatively low. A dry storage space with low temperature and low humidity can be formed in the air storage device 20 . When the humidity in the storage device 20 drops to the preset humidity threshold corresponding to the drying mode and the sterilization and deodorization in the storage device 20 is completed, the device air supply damper 41 and the device return air damper 44 can be closed in a controlled manner. At this time, even if there is a return air flow in the return air duct of the storage compartment 11, and no matter whether a negative pressure is formed in the storage device 20, under the obstruction of the return air damper 44 of the device, the return air flow of the storage compartment will Neither the air duct nor the airflow in the storage compartment 11 will flow into the storage device 20 to affect the humidity in the storage device 20 .
