Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of temperature control, and in particular to a temperature control device, a temperature control method and a refrigerator having the same. Background Art
[0002] Existing fresh-keeping technologies provide a freezing preservation technology using a supercooling function, such as Patent No. CN101636625A. This technology is mainly applied to an instant-cooling compartment, which can quickly cool from room temperature to near the freezing point of food, and then form a supercooled state at a slow cooling rate of 0.01 to 0.5 °C / hour until below the freezing point. During the above slow cooling process, in order to avoid too fast cooling rate, it is necessary to set the compressor providing cooling capacity and the fan delivering cooling capacity to operate at a lower speed. However, if the refrigerator is in a high-temperature environment or the refrigerator itself has a high load at this time, the compressor and fan operating at a low speed will not be able to meet the refrigeration requirements of the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment, resulting in insufficient cooling capacity in the above areas and unable to reach the set temperature, leading to a decline in the fresh-keeping quality of refrigerated food and abnormal freezing of frozen food, affecting the storage period; and if the compressor and fan operate at a high speed in this situation, excessive cooling capacity input will cause too fast supercooling rate, resulting in a large temperature drift in the instant-cooling compartment, increasing the possibility of supercooling failure, and ultimately affecting the preservation of frozen food.

For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0040] Embodiment 1:
[0041] The present invention provides a temperature control device, including a cold storage device 2 arranged in the instant cooling compartment 1 and an air inlet control device. The cold storage device 2 is located in the instant cooling compartment 1 and provides cold to the instant cooling compartment 1; the air inlet control device is used to control the connection or disconnection of the inflow of refrigerating gas into the instant cooling compartment 1.
[0042] The above-mentioned cold storage device 2 is located in the instant cooling compartment 1, and the air inlet control device is connected to the instant cooling compartment 1 and can control whether the gas carrying cold can flow into the instant cooling compartment 1. When the instant cooling compartment 1 is normally connected to the compressor and the air duct providing cold through the air inlet control device, at this time, the above-mentioned cold storage device 2 can absorb the cold transported to the instant cooling compartment 1 through the air duct and store the cold; when the above-mentioned air inlet control device is in the disconnected state and the refrigerating gas cannot flow into the instant cooling compartment 1, the cold storage device 2 can control the instant cooling compartment 1 to stably be in a slow cooling state by releasing cold.
[0043] It should be noted that the above air inlet control device can be used to independently control the instant cooling compartment 1. When it is in the connected state, the gas carrying cold can flow into the instant cooling compartment 1; when it is in the disconnected state, it will not affect the inflow of cold into other spaces except the instant cooling compartment 1. In addition, the above cold storage device 2 is a device capable of storing cold and is made of a cold storage material. The raw materials and processing methods of the cold storage material are prior art and will not be elaborated here.
[0044] The above instant cooling compartment 1 can be arranged in the refrigerating compartment 4 and isolated separately, as Figure 1 shown. At this time, the refrigerating compartment 4 and the freezing compartment 5 are respectively subjected to air supply and refrigeration treatment by independent air doors 3. The above instant cooling compartment 1 can also be independently arranged between the refrigerating compartment 4 and the freezing compartment 5.
[0045] As an optional implementation manner, the above air inlet control device includes an air door 3, and the air door 3 can be switched between two states of opening and closing.
[0046] When the air door 3 is in the open state, the gas carrying cold can flow into the instant cooling compartment 1 through the air door 3; when the air door 3 is in the closed state, the gas carrying cold cannot enter the instant cooling compartment 1 at this time.
[0047] As an optional implementation manner, it further includes a first temperature sensor arranged in the instant cooling compartment 1 and a second temperature sensor arranged outside the instant cooling compartment 1.
[0048] The above two temperature sensors are respectively used to detect the temperature inside and outside the instant cooling compartment 1. The difference between the detected actual temperature and the set temperature can be used to judge the load of the corresponding equipment, and then control the operating state of the compressor. When the compressor is at high speed, at this time the compressor can prepare a large amount of cold. Correspondingly, it is necessary to control the above air door 3 to be in the closed state.
[0049] As an optional implementation manner, outside the instant cooling compartment 1 includes the refrigerating compartment 4 and / or the freezing compartment 5.
[0050] It should be noted that the above refrigerating compartment 4 and / or the freezing compartment 5 also include independently arranged air doors.
[0051] It can be understood that the temperature control device provided in this embodiment can switch the instant cooling compartment 1 between different cooling states by controlling the on-off state of the air inlet control device connected to the instant cooling compartment 1: when the instant cooling compartment 1 is in the slow cooling stage, it can be determined according to the operating state of the compressor which structure in the compressor or the cold storage device 2 provides cold, so that the instant cooling compartment 1 is not affected by the operating state of the compressor and always maintains its slow cooling state.
[0052] Embodiment 2:
[0053] The present invention also provides a refrigerator, which includes the temperature control device described in any one of the above, and further includes an instant cooling compartment 1, as Figure 2 shown.
[0054] Embodiment 3:
[0055] The present invention also provides a temperature control method applying the above temperature control device, as Figure 3 shown, including:
[0056] Step S1: Obtain the actual operating speed of the compressor;
[0057] Step S2: If the actual operating speed of the compressor is higher than the lowest set speed, set the air inlet control device to the off state.
[0058] Generally speaking, the instant cooling function of the refrigerator includes multiple different cooling procedures. The cooling logic of the instant freezing function is described below:
[0059] When the above instant cooling function is started, first, set the instant cooling compartment 1 to the rapid cooling state. At this time, the compressor speed gradually increases from the lowest speed to the highest speed and continues to run for a certain period of time. In this embodiment, this time is 5h. Finally, the temperature in the instant cooling compartment 1 drops to 2°C. During this stage, the above air inlet control device is in the connected state, and the cold generated by the compressor can enter the instant cooling compartment 1 through the air door 3. At this time, the refrigerating compartment 4 and the freezing compartment 5 are refrigerated according to the normal refrigeration rules; then set the instant cooling compartment 1 to enter the slow cooling state, and at this time the compressor needs to run at the lowest speed. This slow cooling state includes three different stages. The first stage lasts for 3h, and at this time the temperature in the instant cooling compartment 1 drops from 2°C to -3°C; the second stage and the third stage each last for 2h, and the temperature in the instant cooling compartment 1 drops by one degree respectively during the above stages. After the third stage ends, the temperature in the instant cooling compartment 1 drops to -5°C. Finally, set the instant cooling compartment 1 to enter the rapid cooling state again. At this time, the compressor runs at the highest speed again for two hours, and the temperature in the instant cooling compartment 1 drops from -5°C to -18°C. Then the compressor stops running, and the instant freezing function is completed. Or, it is also possible to set the temperature in the instant cooling compartment 1 to slowly rise from -18°C to -5°C and then repeat the above rapid cooling process until the instant freezing function is turned off.
[0060] The above operating procedures are shown in the following table:
[0061] Step Instant freezing temperature / °C Control time / h Compressor speed Freezing fan voltage The first step 2 5 S8 V2 The second step -3 3 S0 V1 The third step -4 2 S0 V1 The fourth step -5 2 S0 V1 The fifth step -18 2 S8 V1 Exit -5
[0062] In the figure, S0 refers to the lowest set speed of the compressor, and S8 refers to the highest set speed of the compressor; when the speed of the compressor is different, the speed of the corresponding refrigeration fan is different, and at this time the voltage at the refrigeration fan is not exactly the same.
[0063] It should be noted that the above temperature and the specific control time can be adjusted according to actual needs. The above content is only an example and does not limit the protection scope of this solution.
[0064] The temperature control method provided in this embodiment is applied to the above-mentioned slow cooling stage. In this process, the working state of the above air inlet control device can be controlled by the actual rotation speed of the compressor. If the compressor is in a shutdown state or operates at the lowest set rotation speed, the air inlet control device is in a connected state. At this time, the instant cooling compartment 1 provides cold energy through the compressor. If the actual operating rotation speed of the compressor is higher than the lowest set rotation speed, the air inlet control device is set to be in a disconnected state, and the above air damper 3 is closed. At this time, the instant cooling compartment 1 provides cold energy through the cold storage device 2, which can effectively avoid the temperature drift in the instant cooling compartment 1 due to too fast cooling, and at the same time can ensure the food preservation in other spaces in the refrigerator except the instant cooling compartment 1.
[0065] When the instant cooling compartment 1 is in the rapid cooling stage, there is no contradiction between the cooling rate and the large cold quantity at this time, and the above air inlet control device is always in a connected state.
[0066] In order to better judge the action timing of the above temperature control method, it is necessary to obtain the time when the instant cooling function of the above instant cooling compartment 1 is started, that is, it is necessary to determine the working time and working duration of this temperature control method through a corresponding timing device.
[0067] When obtaining the actual operating rotation speed of the compressor, the rotation speed of the compressor can be continuously detected, or the actual operating rotation speed of the compressor can be detected according to a preset period.
[0068] The actual operating rotation speed of the above compressor is affected by temperature:
[0069] In this embodiment, it is necessary to obtain the actual temperature outside the instant cooling compartment 1 and determine the operating rotation speed of the compressor according to the situation between this temperature and the corresponding set temperature.
[0070] Specifically, if the actual temperature outside the instant cooling compartment 1 is not higher than the first temperature threshold, the operating rotation speed of the compressor is set according to the temperature of the instant cooling compartment 1; if the actual temperature outside the instant cooling compartment 1 is higher than the first temperature threshold, the actual operating rotation speed of the compressor is set according to the temperature outside the instant cooling compartment 1.
[0071] The above first temperature threshold is the set temperature in the corresponding space. For example, when the outside of the instant cooling compartment 1 is set as the refrigerating compartment 4, the above first temperature threshold is the set temperature of the refrigerating compartment 4 (if the set temperature of the refrigerating compartment 4 is a range value, the first temperature threshold is set as the highest set temperature of the refrigerating compartment 4). Similarly, when the outside of the instant cooling compartment 1 is set as the freezing compartment 5, the above first temperature threshold is the set temperature of the freezing compartment 5.
[0072] That is to say, in this method, the operating speed of the compressor is set based on the outside of the above-mentioned instant cooling compartment 1 (i.e., the refrigerating compartment 4 and / or the freezing compartment 5). If the actual temperature outside the instant cooling compartment 1 is not higher than the first temperature threshold, it indicates that the space outside the instant cooling compartment 1 does not need refrigeration treatment at this time. At this time, it is necessary to further set the operating speed of the compressor according to the temperature inside the instant cooling compartment 1; if the actual temperature outside the instant cooling compartment 1 is higher than the first temperature threshold, it indicates that the space outside the instant cooling compartment 1 needs refrigeration treatment at this time. At this time, the operating speed of the compressor needs to be set according to the required refrigerating capacity outside the instant cooling compartment 1.
[0073] The following respectively sets the rotational speed of the compressor according to the above two different situations:
[0074] When it is necessary to set the operating speed of the compressor according to the temperature of the instant cooling compartment 1, the actual temperature inside the instant cooling compartment 1 needs to be obtained at this time. If the actual temperature inside the instant cooling compartment 1 is not higher than the second temperature threshold, the compressor is set to the shutdown state; if the actual temperature inside the instant cooling compartment 1 is higher than the second temperature threshold, the compressor is set to operate at the lowest set speed.
[0075] Specifically, the above-mentioned second temperature threshold refers to the set temperature at the corresponding stage in the current slow cooling state. For example, any one of the temperature values of -3°C, -4°C, and -5°C described above. If the actual temperature inside the instant cooling compartment 1 is not higher than the second temperature threshold, it indicates that the target set temperature has been reached inside the instant cooling compartment 1 at this time and no refrigeration treatment is required. At this time, the compressor is in the shutdown state; otherwise, it indicates that the instant cooling compartment 1 has not reached the target temperature, and the compressor is set to operate at the lowest operating speed until the temperature inside the instant cooling compartment 1 is not higher than the second temperature threshold.
[0076] When it is necessary to set the actual operating speed of the compressor according to the temperature outside the instant cooling compartment 1, a third temperature threshold is set at this time, and the third temperature threshold is higher than the first temperature threshold. When the temperature outside the instant cooling compartment 1 is between the first temperature threshold and the third temperature threshold, a small amount of cold is required outside the instant cooling compartment 1 at this time, and the operating speed of the compressor is set to the lowest set speed. In this state, the air door 3 of the instant cooling compartment 1 is in the open state. When the actual temperature outside the instant cooling compartment 1 exceeds the third temperature threshold, a large amount of cold and a high refrigeration rate are required outside the instant cooling compartment 1 at this time, and the operating speed of the compressor is set higher than the lowest set speed.
[0077] It can be understood that through the above technical solution, the contradiction between the low cooling rate of the instant cooling compartment 1 and the large cold demand of other areas of the refrigerator during the slow cooling stage can be effectively overcome. It can not only maintain the temperature stability inside the instant cooling compartment 1 and ensure a smooth transition through the supercooling stage, but also meet the cold demand in other spaces of the refrigerator and ensure the food preservation effect.

[0079] The present invention also provides a temperature control device, comprising:
[0080] An acquisition module, configured to acquire the actual operating speed of the compressor;
[0081] A control module, configured to set the air inlet control device in a disconnected state when the actual operating speed of the compressor acquired by the acquisition module is higher than the minimum set speed.
[0082] For the implementation manners and beneficial effects of each module in this embodiment, reference may be made to the descriptions of the relevant steps in Embodiment 3, which will not be elaborated herein.
[0083] It can be understood that the technical solution provided in this embodiment can adjust the working state of the air inlet control device by acquiring the actual operating speed of the compressor and according to the magnitude of the actual operating speed of the compressor, so as to avoid a large amount of cold generated by the compressor from affecting the cooling rate of the instant cooling compartment 1; in addition, this embodiment can also switch the cold source of the instant cooling compartment 1 by adjusting the on / off state of the air inlet control device. When the instant cooling compartment 1 is provided with cold by the cold storage device 2, the instant cooling compartment 1 can achieve the effect of slow cooling by means of the continuously released cold of the cold storage device 2.
