[0056] An embodiment of the present application provides an energy-saving method for a refrigerator, which can be applied to a refrigerator to control the energy-saving operation of the refrigerator.
[0057] The following will describe in detail an energy-saving method for a refrigerator provided by an embodiment of the present application in combination with a specific implementation method. Figure 2 As shown, the specific steps are as follows:
[0058] Step 201: When the actual temperature of the refrigerator compartment reaches the start-up point temperature of the compressor, the temperature difference between the current ambient temperature and the historical ambient temperature is determined.
[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, the refrigerator obtains the actual temperature of the compartment. If the actual temperature of the compartment reaches the start-up point temperature of the refrigerator, indicating that the compartment has a cooling demand, the temperature difference between the current ambient temperature and the historical ambient temperature is determined. The temperature difference is in different temperature ranges, and the subsequent operations are also different, see steps 202 to 203 for details.
[0060] The historical ambient temperature is the average temperature during the historical period, and the current ambient temperature is the average temperature of the ambient temperatures collected multiple times.
[0061] Exemplarily, 24 hours is a large cycle, a large cycle is divided into 24 hours, an hour is a small cycle, and an hour is divided into 60 minutes. The current ambient temperature value is recorded once every minute, and the average ambient temperature value Ts of the small cycle is calculated when a small cycle is full, and the average ambient temperature value Ta of the large cycle is calculated when a large cycle is full. The average ambient temperature value Ta is used as the historical ambient temperature, and the subsequent temperature values are recorded. The refrigerator automatically starts recording data after power is turned on. After the user manually turns on the energy-saving and power-saving switch corresponding to the function and a large cycle is completed, the energy-saving and power-saving measures take effect. The current real-time ambient temperature Tr is sampled 10 times every 6 minutes, and the average Tm is taken as the current ambient temperature after removing the maximum and minimum values. The current ambient temperature Tm is subtracted from the historical ambient temperature Ta to obtain the temperature difference.
[0062] If the actual temperature of the compartment does not reach the start-up point temperature of the refrigerator, it means that there is no cooling demand in the compartment, and the compressor will stop.
[0063] The temperature difference can be in three temperature intervals, namely, the set temperature interval, the intermediate temperature interval and the target temperature interval.
[0064] The temperature in the set temperature interval is lower than the temperature in the middle temperature interval, and the temperature in the middle temperature interval is lower than the temperature in the target temperature interval.
[0065] Step 202: If the temperature difference is within the set temperature range, the frequency of the compressor is increased to accelerate the speed at which the actual temperature of the compartment drops to the shutdown point temperature, thereby shortening the compressor operation time.
[0066] The set temperature interval indicates that the current ambient temperature is lower than the historical ambient temperature, and the temperature in the set temperature interval is lower than the temperature in the middle temperature interval.
[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, if the temperature difference is within the set temperature range, indicating that the current ambient temperature is lower than the historical ambient temperature and has a large difference from the historical ambient temperature, the frequency of the compressor is increased.
[0068] There is heat exchange between two substances at different temperatures, and heat exchange usually takes the form of heat radiation, heat convection, and heat transfer. Normally, the refrigerator transfers the cold to the air in the compartment through the evaporator through the cooperation of the compressor, evaporator, condenser, and throttling device, and the heat is transferred to the metal outer wall of the refrigerator through the condenser (side-cooled and back-cooled evaporators), and the metal outer wall of the refrigerator is then transferred out through natural convection and heat radiation with the surrounding air. Conversely, relative to the low temperature in the refrigerator, the "high temperature" outside will also transfer heat to the inside of the compartment through the foaming layer of the refrigerator, causing the temperature in the compartment to rise. Since it is difficult to achieve an absolute balance between the cooling speed of the compartment and the heating speed of the refrigerator from the outside, the temperature inside the refrigerator compartment fluctuates around the set temperature.
[0069] When the compartment temperature rises to the start-up point, the compressor will start to refrigerate. If you want to lower the compartment temperature, the refrigeration speed must be faster than the heating speed. The speed of refrigeration determines the frequency of the internal temperature fluctuations of the compartment, which involves the start-up rate of the compressor. The faster the refrigeration speed, the lower the compressor start-up rate (compressor start time / power-on time / ).
[0070] When the external ambient temperature is low, the compressor speed is increased to increase the compressor's cooling capacity per unit time. When the external ambient temperature is low, the temperature difference between the interior and the outside of the compartment is relatively small, and it is relatively easy to pull the temperature, so that the refrigerator can be cooled quickly, so that the actual temperature of the compartment can be reduced to the shutdown point temperature at a faster speed, shortening the compressor running time to achieve the purpose of saving electricity.
[0071] Therefore, if the temperature difference is within the set temperature range, it indicates that the external ambient temperature of the refrigerator has decreased, and the temperature difference between the compartment temperature and the external environment has decreased. At this time, it is relatively easy to lower the compartment temperature. In this case, the compressor frequency is increased to allow the refrigerator to cool down quickly, and the actual compartment temperature is reduced to the shutdown point temperature at a faster speed, shortening the compressor operation time to achieve the purpose of saving electricity and energy.
[0072] Step 203: If the temperature difference is within the target temperature range, the frequency of the compressor is reduced to reduce the operating power required to maintain the actual temperature of the compartment below the start-up point temperature, thereby reducing the number of compressor starts and stops during the refrigeration cycle.
[0073] The target temperature interval indicates that the current ambient temperature is greater than the historical ambient temperature, and the temperature in the target temperature interval is higher than the temperature in the intermediate temperature interval.
[0074] When the external ambient temperature is high, the compressor speed is reduced to reduce the compressor's cooling capacity per unit time, and the startup rate is exchanged for the room temperature pulling speed. Otherwise, frequent startup and shutdown of the compressor will cause additional energy loss. In addition, when the external ambient temperature is high, the temperature difference between the inside of the room and the outside is relatively large, and it is relatively difficult to pull the temperature, so that the temperature of the internal compartment of the refrigerator is maintained below the startup point temperature for more time.
[0075] That is, the temperature difference is within the set temperature range, indicating that the external ambient temperature of the refrigerator increases, and the temperature difference between the compartment temperature and the external environment increases. At this time, it is relatively difficult to reduce the compartment temperature. In this case, the compressor frequency is reduced so that the compressor maintains the compartment temperature below the start-up point temperature at a lower operating power, reducing the number of compressor starts and stops during the refrigeration cycle, thereby achieving the purpose of saving electricity and energy.
[0076] The present application finely adjusts the compressor frequency instead of the gear according to the ambient temperature control. When the external ambient temperature is low, the frequency is increased to provide more cooling, and the compartment temperature is lowered to the shutdown point temperature at a faster speed, shortening the compressor operation time to achieve power saving; when the external ambient temperature is high, the frequency is reduced to provide less cooling, so that the compressor maintains the compartment temperature below the startup point temperature with lower operating power, reducing the number of compressor starts and stops during the refrigeration cycle, and achieving power saving. Compared with the prior art, the present application can still play a certain energy-saving role without raising the set temperature of the compartment.
[0077] As an optional implementation, if the temperature difference is in the middle temperature range, when the refrigerator changes gear, the current gear and the adjusted target gear are determined; when the current frequency corresponding to the current gear is adjusted to the target frequency corresponding to the target gear, the speed change rate of the compressor is reduced.
[0078] In an embodiment of the present application, if the temperature difference is in the middle temperature range, indicating that the temperature difference is small, and the current ambient temperature and the historical ambient temperature are slightly different, then the gear is adjusted according to normal circumstances. After adjusting from the current gear to the target gear, the current frequency corresponding to the current gear and the target frequency corresponding to the target gear are different. Compared with the prior art, the speed change rate of the compressor is reduced to avoid the frequency difference between the refrigerator operating gears being too high, resulting in inappropriate operating frequency, and the room temperature changes can be smoothed.
[0079] For example, when Tm is between Ta±3° C., when an upshift or downshift occurs, the compressor approaches the frequency corresponding to the gear at a speed of 30 rpm.
[0080] As an optional implementation method, the set temperature interval includes a first temperature interval and a second temperature interval, and if the temperature difference is within the set temperature interval, increasing the frequency of the compressor includes:
[0081] If the temperature difference is within the first temperature range, the compressor is controlled to increase from the frequency corresponding to the current gear to the frequency corresponding to the first preset gear at a first speed change rate, wherein the first preset gear is higher than the current gear;
[0082] For example, when Tm is lower than Ta-5°C and there is a cooling demand in the compartment, the compressor increases at a speed of 60 rpm to a frequency corresponding to the gear position +2 determined by the system.
[0083] If the temperature difference is in the second temperature range, the compressor is controlled to increase the frequency from the current gear to the frequency corresponding to the second preset gear at a second speed change rate, wherein the temperature in the second temperature range is higher than the temperature in the first temperature range, the second speed change rate is smaller than the first speed change rate, and the second preset gear is smaller than the first preset gear and greater than the current gear.
[0084] For example, when Tm is higher than Ta+3°C and not higher than Ta+5°C, when there is a cooling demand in the compartment, the compressor is reduced from 60 rpm to the frequency corresponding to the system determined gear position -2.
[0085] When the current ambient temperature is lower than the historical ambient temperature, as the temperature difference increases, the compressor frequency decreases and the gear to be increased decreases, which can ensure the cooling performance of the air conditioner.
[0086] As an optional implementation method, the target temperature interval includes a third temperature interval and a fourth temperature interval, and if the temperature difference is within the target temperature interval, reducing the frequency of the compressor includes:
[0087] If the temperature difference is within the third temperature range, the compressor is controlled to reduce the frequency corresponding to the current gear to the frequency corresponding to the third preset gear at a third speed change rate, wherein the third preset gear is lower than the current gear.
[0088] When Tm is higher than Ta+3℃ and not higher than Ta+5℃, the compartment has a cooling demand, and the compressor is reduced from 60rpm to the frequency corresponding to the system determined gear -2.
[0089] If the temperature difference is in the fourth temperature range, the compressor is controlled to reduce the frequency corresponding to the current gear to the frequency corresponding to the fourth preset gear at a fourth speed change rate, wherein the temperature in the fourth temperature range is higher than the temperature in the third temperature range, the fourth speed change rate is lower than the third speed change rate, and the fourth preset gear is greater than the third preset gear and lower than the current gear.
[0090] When Tm is higher than Ta+5℃, when there is a cooling demand in the compartment, the compressor is reduced at a speed of 30rpm to the frequency corresponding to the system determined gear -1.
[0091] When the current ambient temperature is higher than the historical ambient temperature, as the temperature difference increases, the compressor frequency decreases and the gear to be reduced increases, which can ensure the cooling performance of the air conditioner.
[0092] As an optional implementation method, before controlling the compressor to adjust the speed, the method also includes: controlling the compressor to run at a preset speed for a preset time; if a gear change occurs when running at the preset speed, re-running at the speed corresponding to the changed gear for the preset time.
[0093] When there is a cooling demand in the room, the air conditioner first controls the compressor to run at a preset speed for a preset time to avoid changing the frequency as soon as the compressor is turned on. If the gear changes when the compressor is running at the preset speed, it will run again at the preset speed for the preset time.
[0094] When the user opens the door for too long, loads the heat load, forgets to close the door, the compressor runs for longer and longer, the air conditioner is turned on at home causing the ambient temperature to change, etc., the gear position will change. Due to the above factors, the compressor gear position is re-determined, and it is necessary to respond to these gear requirements first, otherwise the cooling effect will be compromised, so the gear position will change. For example, if the gear position is adjusted once every 10 minutes of normal operation, if the compressor has been continuously running for too long at the 9th minute and has been raised to a gear once, it will be raised to a gear again after 1 minute if the time is not cleared. Due to the high gear position and excessive cooling capacity per unit time, the room temperature will drop rapidly and over-cooling will occur, which is not conducive to fine temperature control. Therefore, it is necessary to reset the 10 minutes of operation (the same applies to the following 20 minutes and 30 minutes) and re-time.
[0095] Optionally, controlling the compressor to operate at a preset speed for a preset time period includes:
[0096] If the temperature difference is in the third temperature range, the compressor is controlled to run at a preset speed for a first time period; if the temperature difference is in the fourth temperature range, the compressor is controlled to run at a preset speed for a second time period, wherein the second time period is greater than the first time period.
[0097] For example, when Tm is higher than Ta+3℃ and not higher than Ta+5℃, there is a cooling demand in the compartment, and the compressor first runs at the system-determined speed for 20 minutes, and the timing is restarted when the gear changes. When Tm is higher than Ta+5℃, there is a cooling demand in the compartment, and the compressor first runs at the system-determined speed for 30 minutes, and the timing is restarted when the gear changes.
[0098] Optionally, the embodiment of the present application also provides a processing flow for energy saving of a refrigerator, and the specific steps are as follows.
[0099] ①When Tm is lower than Ta-5℃: When there is a cooling demand in the compartment, the compressor first runs at the speed determined by the system for 10 minutes, restarts the timing when the gear changes, and then increases at a speed of 60rpm (Revolutions Per minute, revolutions per minute) to the frequency corresponding to the gear determined by the system + 2. When there is no cooling demand in the compartment, the compressor stops.
[0100] ②When Tm is lower than Ta-3℃ and not lower than Ta-5℃: When there is a cooling demand in the compartment, the compressor will first run at the system-determined speed for 10 minutes, restart the timing when the gear changes, and then increase the speed to the frequency corresponding to the system-determined gear + 1 at 30rpm. When there is no cooling demand in the compartment, the compressor stops.
[0101] ③When Tm is higher than Ta+3℃ and not higher than Ta+5℃: When there is a cooling demand in the compartment, the compressor will first run at the system-determined speed for 20 minutes, restart the timing when the gear changes, and then reduce the speed to the frequency corresponding to the system-determined gear-2 at 60rpm. When there is no cooling demand in the compartment, the compressor stops.
[0102] ④When Tm is higher than Ta+5℃: When there is a cooling demand in the compartment, the compressor will first run at the speed determined by the system for 30 minutes, restart the timing when the gear changes, and then reduce the speed by 30rpm to the frequency corresponding to the gear determined by the system -1. When there is no cooling demand in the compartment, the compressor stops.
[0103] ⑤When Tm is between Ta±3℃, the compressor gear is controlled according to normal judgment. When the gear is raised or lowered, the compressor approaches the frequency corresponding to the gear judged by the system at a speed of 30rpm.
[0104] Based on the same technical concept, the embodiment of the present application also provides an energy-saving device for a refrigerator, such as Figure 3 As shown, the device comprises:

[0106] The increasing module 302 is used to increase the frequency of the compressor if the temperature difference is within the set temperature interval, so as to accelerate the speed at which the actual temperature of the compartment drops to the shutdown point temperature and shorten the compressor operation time, wherein the set temperature interval indicates that the current ambient temperature is lower than the historical ambient temperature, and the temperature of the set temperature interval is lower than the temperature of the intermediate temperature interval;
