Refrigerator and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a refrigerator and a control method thereof. The refrigerator includes a box body, a refrigeration system, a detection system and a control system. Wherein, the box body defines a storage compartment; the refrigeration system is configured to provide refrigeration to the food stored in the storage compartment; the detection system is arranged in the storage compartment; the control system is configured to control the detection system to apply thrust to the food, And obtain the movement distance of the detection system when the thrust is applied, so as to adjust the operation parameters of the refrigeration system according to the movement distance. The refrigerator provided by the invention can apply thrust to the food by setting the detection system, so that the control system can determine the freezing state of the food based on the moving distance generated after the detection system exerts the thrust, so as to accurately control the freezing point of the food and avoid causing The loss of nutrients and the loss of quality and taste of food.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment, in particular to a refrigerator and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] Freezing technology is the most common and effective method to extend the shelf life of food. For example, frozen meat can be stored at -18°C for 6 to 12 months. However, the frozen food is not only inconvenient to thaw, but also the quality and taste of the food are obviously degraded after thawing. And how to keep the ingredients eaten in the short term from freezing is an urgent problem to be solved. [0003] At present, most sensors are used to obtain the temperature value of food to judge whether the food has entered the freezing state, such as the edible non-contact sensor of infrared sensor, which cannot accurately obtain the temperature value of the food, thus making it impossible to accurately judge whether the food has entered the freezing state; For the contact temperature sens...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, sensors are mostly used to obtain food temperature values ​​to determine whether food is in a frozen state, such as infrared sensor edible non-contact sensors, such sensors cannot accurately obtain food temperature values, resulting in the inability to accurately determine whether food is in a frozen state; For the contact temperature sensor of the probe temperature sensor, because it needs to be inserted into the food content, the structure of the food will be damaged, and the operability is poor, so it cannot be accepted by users
