Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a refrigeration device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the times, people's quality of life has gradually improved, and their health awareness has been continuously enhanced. Different foods can only be kept fresh and have less nutrient loss when stored at the right temperature, thus improving food quality and safety. Therefore, when choosing a refrigerator, people's requirements for refrigerator freshness are constantly increasing, requiring refrigerators to provide multiple temperature zones to meet the requirements of a healthier food storage method.

[0003] In order to achieve multiple temperature ranges, the following solutions are mainly used in the existing refrigeration cycle:

[0004] 1. Using multiple independent compression refrigeration circuits will increase costs and is uneconomical.

[0005] 2. Providing cooling capacity to multiple evaporators in series or parallel at a single evaporation temperature at the same time. This method will increase the heat transfer temperature difference in the high-temperature area, increase the irreversible heat transfer loss, and when a room does not need cooling, the refrigerant will still flow through the evaporator of the room, increasing the cooling loss.

[0006] 3. Utilizing the non-isothermal characteristics of phase change of non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant under constant pressure, the non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant is divided into a fluid rich in high-boiling-point refrigerant and a fluid rich in low-boiling-point refrigerant, and then enters two or more evaporators connected in series or parallel for refrigeration. This method also provides cooling to multiple compartments at the same time at a single evaporation temperature. At the same time, after the compressor of this method is started, all evaporators are in operation and the evaporator pressure is the same. The temperature of each compartment can only be adjusted by adjusting the fan speed or controlling the start and stop. The temperature control accuracy is not high enough, and the temperature difference between different temperature zones is small, so it is impossible to achieve a very low refrigeration temperature and cannot meet the storage requirements of some special foods.

[0082] The freezing evaporator 113 and the temperature variable evaporator 115 are connected in series.

[0083] The refrigeration evaporator 113 includes a refrigeration evaporator inlet and a refrigeration evaporator outlet. The refrigeration evaporator inlet is connected to the outlet flow path of the second throttling pipeline.

[0084] The variable temperature evaporator 115 includes a variable temperature evaporator inlet and a variable temperature evaporator outlet.

[0085] The temperature-variable branch is connected to the temperature-variable evaporator 115 and includes a temperature-variable branch inlet and a temperature-variable branch outlet. The temperature-variable branch outlet is connected to the temperature-variable evaporator outlet.

[0086] The first flow path switching mechanism connects the liquid outlet flow path of the gas-liquid separator 103, the refrigeration evaporator inlet flow path, and the second throttling pipeline inlet flow path, and the first flow path switching mechanism is used to control the flow direction of the refrigerant. In this embodiment, the first flow path switching mechanism includes a first three-way valve 106, the inlet of the first three-way valve 106 is connected to the liquid outlet flow path of the gas-liquid separator 103, the first outlet of the first three-way valve 106 is connected to the refrigeration evaporator inlet flow path, and the second outlet of the first three-way valve 106 is connected to the second throttling pipeline inlet flow path.

[0091] The refrigeration device includes a fan corresponding to the evaporator. The controller is used to control the start and stop of the fan. The fan is controlled to start when the refrigerant flows through the evaporator.

The refrigerated evaporator outlet flow path is connected to a first check valve 110, and the variable temperature evaporator outlet flow path is connected to a second check valve 112.

[0093] The refrigeration equipment uses a mixed refrigerant, which includes two refrigerants with different boiling points. A non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant is used as the refrigerant, and the phase change anisothermal characteristics and temperature glide characteristics of the non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant are utilized. This embodiment uses the phase change anisothermal characteristics of the non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant to divide the mixed refrigerant into two fluids. When all three storage rooms need to be cooled, the high-boiling point and low-boiling point refrigerants are separated and enter the high-temperature evaporator and the low-temperature evaporator. When only the freezing and variable temperature rooms need to be cooled, the mixed refrigerant first enters the freezing evaporator and then the variable temperature evaporator, utilizing the temperature glide characteristics of the mixed refrigerant.

[0094] The controller of this embodiment is used to control the first flow path switching mechanism, the second flow path switching mechanism and the variable temperature flow path switching mechanism to switch to a state where the refrigerant flows through the evaporator when the actual temperature of the storage chamber corresponding to the evaporator is higher than the set maximum temperature of the storage chamber. Specifically:

[0095] Check the temperature of all storage rooms;

[0096] If the detected temperature of the storage chamber corresponding to the evaporator is higher than the set maximum temperature of the storage chamber, the controller controls the first flow path switching mechanism, the second flow path switching mechanism and the variable temperature flow path switching mechanism to switch to a state in which the refrigerant flows through the evaporator.

[0097] The first flow path switching mechanism is used to control the flow direction of the refrigerant to flow to the refrigeration evaporator preferentially when the refrigeration chamber, the freezing chamber and the temperature-changing chamber all need refrigeration.

[0098] The variable temperature flow path switching mechanism is used to controllably switch the refrigerant flow to the variable temperature evaporator when the variable temperature chamber needs to be cooled, and to controllably switch the refrigerant flow to the variable temperature branch when the variable temperature chamber does not need to be cooled.

[0099] The controller is used to control the fan corresponding to the evaporator to start when the actual temperature of the storage chamber corresponding to the evaporator is higher than the maximum set temperature; the controller is used to control the fan corresponding to the evaporator to stop when the actual temperature of the storage chamber corresponding to the evaporator is lower than the minimum set temperature.

[0100] When the refrigerator, freezer and temperature-controlled room all need cooling, the refrigerator temperature t R , Freezer temperature t F , variable temperature room t V All higher than the maximum temperature set in each compartment Rmax ,t Fmax ,t Vmax , the first three-way solenoid valve 106 is in state 1 (connected to the first throttling device 107), the second three-way solenoid valve 105 is in state 2 (connected to the second throttling pipeline 111), and the third three-way solenoid valve 114 is in state 1 (connected to the variable temperature evaporator 115). The refrigeration, freezing and variable temperature fans are all started. At this time, the gas rich in low-boiling-point refrigerant separated from the gas-liquid separator 103 is condensed by the second condenser 104 and throttled by the second throttling pipeline 111, and then enters the freezing evaporator 113 and the variable temperature evaporator 115 to absorb heat. The liquid rich in high-boiling-point refrigerant separated from the gas-liquid separator 103 is throttled by the first throttling device 107 and then enters the refrigeration evaporator 108 to absorb heat.

[0101] When the refrigerator and freezer require cooling and the temperature-controlled room does not require cooling, the refrigerator temperature t R , Freezer temperature t FHigher than the maximum temperature set in two compartments t Rmax ,t Fmax , variable room temperature t V Lower than the maximum temperature set in the variable temperature room t Vmax When the first three-way solenoid valve 106 is in state 1 (connected to the first throttling device 107), the second three-way solenoid valve 105 is in state 2 (connected to the second throttling pipeline 111), and the third three-way solenoid valve 114 is in state 2 (connected to the refrigeration branch), the refrigeration and freezing fans are started, and the variable temperature fan is stopped. The mixed refrigerant is separated into two fluids by the gas-liquid separator 103 for refrigeration respectively. The fluid rich in low-boiling-point refrigerant absorbs heat only in the freezing evaporator 113 and does not flow through the variable temperature evaporator 115.

[0102] When the refrigeration room and the temperature-changing room need cooling, and the freezer room does not need cooling, the refrigeration room temperature t R , variable temperature room t V Higher than the maximum temperature set in two compartments t Rmax ,t Vmax , freezer temperature t F Lower than the maximum temperature set for the freezer Fmax , the first three-way solenoid valve 106 is in state 1 (connected to the first throttling device 107), the second three-way solenoid valve 105 is in state 2 (connected to the second throttling pipeline 111), and the third three-way solenoid valve 114 is in state 1 (connected to the variable temperature evaporator 115). The refrigeration and variable temperature fans are started, and the freezing fan is stopped. The mixed refrigerant is separated into two fluids by the gas-liquid separator 103 for refrigeration respectively. The fluid rich in low boiling point refrigerant passes through the freezing evaporator 113 and the variable temperature evaporator 115 in turn. However, since the freezing fan is stopped, the freezing evaporator 113 and the air in the freezing compartment only undergo natural convection, and the heat exchange is small.

[0103] When the refrigeration room does not need cooling, the freezer and temperature-changing room need cooling, that is, the freezer temperature t F , variable temperature room t V Higher than the maximum temperature set in two compartments t Fmax ,t Vmax , Refrigerator temperature t R Lower than the maximum temperature set in the refrigerator Rmax, the first three-way solenoid valve 106 is in state 2 (connected to the second throttling pipeline 111), the second three-way solenoid valve 105 is in state 2 (connected to the second throttling pipeline 111), and the third three-way solenoid valve 114 is in state 1 (connected to the variable temperature evaporator 115). The freezing and variable temperature fans are started, and the refrigeration fan is stopped. The liquid rich in high-boiling point refrigerant separated from the gas-liquid separator 103 does not enter the refrigeration evaporator 108, but is remixed with the separated fluid rich in low-boiling point refrigerant and then enters the freezing evaporator 113 and the variable temperature evaporator 115 after throttling to absorb heat. At this time, the non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant has a temperature glide characteristic, which makes the refrigerant temperature passing through the freezing evaporator 113 lower than the refrigerant temperature passing through the variable temperature evaporator 115, thereby reducing the heat transfer temperature difference between the variable temperature evaporator 115 and the room air, and reducing irreversible losses.

[0104] When only the cold storage room needs cooling, the temperature of the cold storage room is monitored.
