Refrigerating appliance with air conditioner and refrigerator and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a refrigerating appliance with an air conditioner and a refrigerator and a control method thereof; the refrigerating appliance comprises: refrigerator compartments including a variable temperature chamber having a cold storage device arranged inside, and a variable temperature chamber door; a conditioner chamber communicated with the outside through an air outlet; an evaporator chamber having an evaporator arranged inside; an air duct system allowing the evaporator chamber to controllably communicate the refrigerator compartments and the conditioner chamber. When the refrigerating appliance is in refrigerator mode, the air duct system communicates the evaporator chamber and the refrigerator compartments so that air circulates between the evaporator chamber and the refrigerator compartments; when the refrigerating appliance is in conditioner mode, the variable temperature chamber door is opened, the air duct system communicates the evaporator chamber and the conditioner chamber so that air circulates among the evaporator chamber, the conditioner chamber, the outside and the variable temperature chamber, and the air is precooled in the variable temperature chamber via the cold storage device before entering the evaporator chamber for secondary cooling.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of home appliance manufacturing, and in particular relates to a refrigeration appliance combined with an air conditioner and a refrigerator and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, household refrigeration appliances mainly include air conditioners and refrigerators, both of which have refrigeration systems. Refrigerators usually only have the function of storing food such as refrigerating and freezing, and cannot adjust the indoor temperature when the indoor temperature is high, and usually use air conditioners to adjust the indoor temperature. Compared with ordinary families, buying air conditioners and refrigerators at the same time will lead to increased consumption, and the larger space occupied is not in line with the optimization of home layout. In addition, when the temperature is high in summer, the cooling system of the air conditioner and the refrigerator work alone,...
