Air-cooled refrigerator and its control method

Abstract

The invention relates to an air-cooled refrigerator and a control method thereof. Particularly, the invention provides the air-cooled refrigerator, which comprises a drying chamber and a drying device, wherein the drying chamber is provided with an independent closed space; the drying chamber is provided with an air inlet; the air inlet is configured to be controlled to be opened or closed, so that part of cooling air outside the drying chamber is controlled to be supplied to the independent closed space through the air inlet; the drying device is configured to remove at least part of moisture in the part of cooling air before the part of cooling air enters the independent closed space, so as to decrease the absolute humidity of the part of cooling air. In addition, the invention also provides the control method of the air-cooled refrigerator. According to the air-cooled refrigerator and the control method thereof, which are provided by the invention, as the drying device exists, the cooling air which is about to enter the drying chamber can be dried, and the time when a dry environment with lower relative humidity is formed in the drying chamber can be obviously increased after the cooling air is introduced into the drying chamber each time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of refrigerators, in particular to an air-cooled refrigerator and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] Along with consumers' expectations for a healthier lifestyle, the proportion of dry food ingredients such as wolfberry, tea, shiitake mushrooms, longan, and cordyceps sinensis is gradually increasing in the diet structure. However, these dry food ingredients are very difficult to store. If they are stored at room temperature, under the condition of poor ventilation, they will easily change color and deteriorate after a long time of storage, resulting in the loss of nutrients; The impact of food leads to dampness, mold and deterioration. How to store dry food ingredients for a long time is a problem to be solved. In order to solve this problem, a room with adjustable humidity has been added on the basis of the refrigeration function of the refrigerator in the prior art. For example, an i...
