Refrigerator and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a refrigerator and a control method thereof. The refrigerator is provided with a compressor used for refrigerating cycle. The compressor is arranged inside a containing part at the top of a refrigerator body. The control method of the refrigerator comprises the steps of obtaining a refrigerator door body opening and closing signal; controlling the compressor to be kept in an off state during preset time after the refrigerator body is opened; and controlling the compressor to return to be in a normal operation mode in a delayed mode after the refrigerator body is closed. According to the technical scheme for the refrigerator with the compressor placed inside the containing part at the top of the refrigerator body, the operation noise of the compressor is eliminated by turning off the compressor after the door body is opened, a refrigerator user is prevented from being influenced by the noise, and the using comfort of the user is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a refrigerator control, in particular to a refrigerator and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the change of user's living habits, more and more users prefer to place the refrigerator in a relatively quiet dining room or living room. Therefore, the noise requirements for refrigerators are getting higher and higher, and noise has become a very important performance index. [0003] In the existing refrigerators, the speed and stroke of the frequency conversion or linear compressor are determined according to the temperature in the refrigerator or (and) freezer, as well as some factors that affect the performance of the refrigerator, such as ambient temperature and defrosting, and less noise factors are considered, so it often occurs Refrigerator noise is a nuisance to users' lives. [0004] Moreover, in existing refrigerators, the compressor is installed on the rear side of the bottom of the refrigerat...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the existing refrigerators, the speed and stroke of the frequency conversion or linear compressor are determined according to the temperature in the refrigerator or (and) freezer, as well as some factors that affect the performance of the refrigerator, such as ambient temperature and defrosting, and less noise factors are considered, so it often occurs Refrigerator noise bothers users' lives

[0004] Moreover, in existing refrigerators, the compressor is installed on the rear side of the bottom of the refrigerator, so that the compressor occupies the effective storage space under the refrigerator, and because the shape of the compressor is complex, the usability of the space under the refrigerator is further deteriorated

In response to this problem, a refrigerator with a compressor mounted on top has emerged. The compressor cabin is placed on the top and rear side of the refrigerated room. The compressor cabin is in the closed space of the refrigerated room, which is equivalent to a speaker, which is easy to amplify the noise.

On the one hand, the probability of picking and placing food in the refrigerated compartment is higher than that of the frozen compartment, and the top of the refrigerated compartment is closer to the human ear, so after opening the refrigerated compartment door, severe noise will cause discomfort to the user

Based on the above problems, it has brought difficulties to the popularization of compressor-mounted refrigerators
