AI Technical Summary
The existing refrigerators do not consider the ice making device during the defrosting process, which causes the ice cubes in the ice storage box to melt or the ice making cycle to be extended, increasing energy consumption.
If the ice evaporator meets the ice-making defrost conditions when the ice storage box is full of ice, the defrost will be turned on in advance. When the ice storage box is in a non-ice state but the ice evaporator meets the normal defrost conditions, the ice-making process will be based on the ice-making process. The current working state of the device determines whether to defrost.
By defrosting in advance and judging the defrosting timing based on working conditions, the impact of defrosting by ice evaporator on ice cubes can be minimized, avoid ice melting, and save energy consumption.

[0002] At present, refrigerators have become an indispensable household appliance in family life. A refrigeration system is set in the refrigerator for refrigeration. The refrigeration system includes an evaporator. After the refrigeration system is used for a period of time, frost will form on the surface of the evaporator. Therefore, in order to ensure the refrigeration effect of the refrigeration system, the evaporator needs to be defrosted regularly.

[0079] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0080] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a refrigerator 100 is provided. The refrigerator 100 may include a housing 110. The storage space formed in the housing 110 may include a refrigerating compartment 111 and a freezing compartment 112. The housing 110 may be connected with a refrigerating door 121 for opening and closing the refrigerating compartment 111 and a freezing door 122 for opening and closing the freezing compartment 112. An ice-making device 150 is installed in the refrigerator 100. An ice-making compartment 113 may be provided on the refrigerating door 121. The ice-making device 150 may be installed inside the ice-making compartment 113. A small ice-making door for opening and closing the ice-making compartment 113 and a dispenser connected to the ice-making compartment 113 may also be installed on the refrigerating door 121. The ice making device 150 may include an ice making tray and an ice storage box 151 placed on the lower side of the ice making tray. The user can open the ice making door to take out the ice storage box 151 inside the ice making chamber 113, or directly take out the ice cubes in the ice storage box 151 through a dispenser without opening the refrigeration door 121 and the ice making door.
[0081] The refrigerator 100 may further include a water supply device for supplying water to the ice tray. When ice making starts, the water supply device injects liquid water into the ice tray. When the liquid water in the ice tray is completely frozen, the ice making device 150 performs an ice turning operation to discharge the ice cubes in the ice tray into the ice storage box 151 for storage. The ice making device 150 may use a flexible ice tray, and realize ice turning by twisting the ice tray. Alternatively, an ice turning structure such as an ice rake 152 may be installed to turn the ice.
[0082] The ice-making device 150 may further include an ice quantity detection component, which can be used to detect the amount of ice in the ice storage box 151. The ice quantity detection component may be an ice detection rod installed on one side of the ice-making tray, or may be an infrared sensor, ultrasonic sensor, pressure sensor, etc. installed in the ice storage box 151 or other locations. The sensor can be used to detect the height or weight of the ice in the ice storage box 151.
[0083] The ice quantity detection component can work according to a predetermined program to detect the ice quantity information in the ice storage box 151. For example, when the water in the ice tray is completely frozen and an ice turning signal is issued, the ice quantity detection component can be controlled to detect the ice quantity information in the ice storage box 151. If the ice quantity information of the ice storage box 151 is not full of ice, the ice making device 150 can be controlled to turn over the ice. If the ice quantity information of the ice storage box 151 is full of ice, the ice making device 150 can be inhibited from turning over the ice. The ice quantity detection component can also detect the ice quantity information in the ice storage box 151 after each ice removal, or detect the ice quantity information in the ice storage box 151 when it is detected that the ice making door is opened and then closed.
[0084] The refrigerator 100 further includes a refrigeration system, which may include a compressor, a condenser, an ice-making evaporator 131, an ice-making capillary tube, an ice-making air return pipe, a cabinet evaporator 141, a cabinet capillary tube, and a cabinet air return pipe. The refrigerant flowing out of the compressor flows through the condenser, and then flows through the ice-making capillary tube, the ice-making evaporator 131, and the ice-making air return pipe in sequence, and then flows back to the compressor, thereby supplying cold air to the ice-making compartment 113. It may also flow through the cabinet capillary tube, the cabinet evaporator 141, and the cabinet air return pipe in sequence, and then flows back to the compressor to supply cold air to the refrigerating compartment 111 and the freezing compartment 112.
[0085] The refrigerator 100 may also be provided with an ice-making evaporator compartment 130 and a cabinet evaporator compartment 140. The ice-making evaporator 131 may be installed inside the ice-making evaporator compartment 130. The ice-making evaporator compartment 130 may be connected to the ice-making compartment 113 through an air duct. An ice-making fan may be provided inside the ice-making evaporator compartment 130. The operation of the ice-making fan may supply cold air generated by the ice-making evaporator 131 to the inside of the ice-making compartment 113. The cabinet evaporator 141 may be installed inside the cabinet evaporator compartment 140. The cabinet evaporator compartment 140 may be connected to the refrigerating compartment 111 and the freezing compartment 112 to supply cold air to the refrigerating compartment 111 and the freezing compartment 112.
[0086] The ice-making evaporator 131 also has a corresponding defrosting unit, which may include a defrosting heating wire disposed on the ice-making evaporator 131. When there is too much frost on the ice-making evaporator 131 and the defrosting condition of the ice-making evaporator 131 is met, the defrosting heating wire may be turned on to defrost the ice-making evaporator 131. A temperature sensor may also be installed inside the ice-making chamber 113, and the temperature sensor may detect the temperature change inside the ice-making chamber 113.
[0087] See also Figure 3 , is a refrigerator 100 control method according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The refrigerator 100 control method includes:
[0088] Collect the working parameters of the ice making system;
[0089] When the working parameters meet the preset normal defrosting conditions of the ice-making evaporator 131 and the ice quantity information of the ice storage box 151 is non-full ice information, the current working state of the ice-making device 150 is obtained. If the current working state meets the defrosting conditions, the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 is controlled to be turned on;
[0090] When it is detected that the ice amount information of the ice storage box 151 is full of ice information, if the working parameters meet the preset full ice defrosting conditions of the ice-making evaporator 131, the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 is controlled to be turned on.
[0091] In this embodiment, the ice making system may include an ice making device 150 and a refrigeration system corresponding to the ice making chamber 113, such as a compressor, an ice making evaporator 131, and an ice making fan. When there is too much frost on the ice making evaporator 131, in order not to affect the operation of the ice making evaporator 131, it is necessary to start the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice making evaporator 131 to defrost the ice making evaporator 131.
[0092] When the working parameters of the ice-making system meet the preset normal defrosting conditions, it can be determined that the ice-making evaporator 131 needs to be defrosted. At this time, the current working state of the ice-making device 150 can be further obtained to determine whether the current working state of the ice-making device 150 meets the defrosting conditions. Among them, the working state of the ice-making device 150 may include an ice-turning state and a non-ice-turning state. The working state of the ice-making device 150 that meets the defrosting condition may be that the current working state of the ice-making device 150 is a non-ice-turning state, that is, when the working parameters of the ice-making system meet the preset normal defrosting conditions, if the working state of the ice-making device 150 is not an ice-turning state at this time, the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 can be controlled to open, and the ice-making evaporator 131 is defrosted.
[0093] In this embodiment, the non-ice turning state may include an ice storage state and an ice making state. A control panel or a control button may be provided on the refrigerator 100, and the user may control the switch of the ice making mode. When the ice making mode is turned on, the ice making device 150 may operate to make ice, and when the ice making mode is turned off, the ice making device 150 may stop making ice, such as not injecting liquid water into the ice making tray. However, if ice cubes are still stored in the ice storage box 151, the ice making evaporator 131 continues to operate to supply cold air to the ice making chamber 113. At this time, the working state of the ice making device 150 may be defined as an ice storage state.
[0094] When the ice making mode is turned on, the working state of the ice making device 150 may include an ice turning state and an ice making state. The ice turning state may be a state when the ice in the ice making tray is discharged into the ice storage box 151 after the liquid water in the ice making tray is frozen. An ice making temperature sensor may be provided on the ice making tray, and the ice making device 150 may also be provided with a preset ice making cycle. When the ice making temperature sensor detects that the temperature of the ice making tray reaches a preset temperature and / or the operating time of the ice making device 150 reaches the ice making cycle after the last ice turning is completed, an ice turning signal may be issued to control the ice making device 150 to turn over the ice. After the ice turning state is completed, the ice making device 150 enters the ice making state.
[0095] The ice tray may be provided with an ice-turning heating wire. When an ice-turning signal is received, the ice-turning heating wire may be activated to heat the ice tray, so that the ice cubes in the ice tray are separated from the ice tray. Therefore, when the current working state of the ice-making device 150 is the ice-turning state, the temperature in the ice-making chamber 113, especially the ice tray, is relatively high. If the ice-making evaporator 131 is defrosted at this time, the temperature in the ice-making chamber 113 may be too high due to the further increase in temperature during the defrosting process. The ice in the ice tray and the ice storage box 151 may melt and produce more water. When the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 drops after defrosting, the melted water freezes again, which may cause the ice cubes in the ice storage box 151 to stick together and form ice lumps. Even if heating is not used when turning the ice, the temperature rise caused by defrosting the ice evaporator 131 may easily cause the ice that has not fallen off in the ice tray to melt. Therefore, when the current working state of the ice-making device 150 is a non-ice-turning state, defrosting the ice-making evaporator 131 can reduce the risk of ice blocks being formed in the ice storage box 151.
[0096] When it is detected that the ice amount information in the ice storage box 151 is full of ice, at this time, because the amount of ice in the ice storage box 151 is large, the ice cubes in the ice storage box 151 can emit more cold energy, and the temperature rise generated during the defrosting process of the ice-making evaporator 131 will not cause the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 to be too high, and the impact on the ice cubes in the ice storage box 151 is relatively small. At the same time, when the ice storage box 151 is in a full of ice state, the ice-making device 150 will not perform the ice-turning operation, and therefore, the ice-making device 150 will not immediately start the next ice-making cycle. Defrosting the ice-making evaporator 131 when it is full of ice will not affect the ice-making cycle. Therefore, this is the best time to defrost. If the working parameters of the ice-making system do not meet the normal defrosting conditions of the preset ice-making evaporator 131 at this time, it can be determined whether the working parameters of the ice-making system meet the full ice defrosting conditions of the ice-making evaporator 131. If the full ice defrosting conditions are met, the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 is controlled to turn on, and the ice-making evaporator 131 is defrosted in the full ice state to minimize the negative impact caused by the defrosting of the ice-making evaporator 131, and at the same time, energy consumption can be saved.
[0097] In this embodiment, after receiving the defrosting completion signal of the ice-making evaporator 131, the refrigerant of the refrigeration system can be controlled to flow to the ice-making evaporator 131, and when the temperature of the compartment of the ice-making evaporator 131 drops to a preset temperature, the ice-making fan is turned on to supply cold air to the ice-making compartment 113. In this way, the ice-making fan is turned on after the temperature of the compartment of the ice-making evaporator 131 drops, so that cold air can be supplied to the inside of the ice-making compartment 113, and the air with a higher temperature in the ice-making compartment 113 after the defrosting of the ice-making evaporator 131 is avoided from being supplied to the ice-making compartment 113, resulting in an increase in the compartment temperature, which affects the ice-making process and increases energy consumption.
[0098] Furthermore, the refrigerator 100 control method of this embodiment further includes:
[0099] When the working parameters meet the preset normal defrosting conditions of the ice-making evaporator 131 and the current ice quantity information of the ice storage box 151 is non-full ice information, if the current working state of the ice-making device 150 is the ice-turning state, the working state of the ice-making device 150 continues to be monitored.
[0100] In this embodiment, when it is detected that the current working parameters of the ice-making system meet the normal defrosting conditions of the ice-making evaporator 131, if the working state of the ice-making device 150 is the ice-turning state at this time, the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 will not be started to avoid the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 being too high. At this time, the working state of the ice-making device 150 can be continuously monitored, and the working parameters of the ice-making system can be continuously monitored. When it is detected that the working parameters of the ice-making system meet the defrosting conditions of the ice-making evaporator 131 and the working state of the ice-making device 150 is the non-ice-turning state, the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 is controlled to be turned on. Alternatively, only the working state of the ice-making device 150 can be monitored, such as when it is detected that the ice-turning state of the ice-making device 150 ends, or when it is detected that the working state of the ice-making device 150 changes from the ice-turning state to the ice-making state, or when a signal of ice-turning end is received, the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 can be controlled to be turned on.
[0101] In this way, the influence of defrosting of the ice-making evaporator 131 on the ice-making chamber 113 and the ice cubes in the ice storage box 151 can be reduced, thereby preventing ice lumps from forming in the ice storage box 151 .
[0102] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the refrigerator 100 control method further includes:
[0103] If the working parameters meet the normal defrosting conditions of the ice-making evaporator 131 and the current working state of the ice-making device 150 is the ice-turning state, an open signal is sent to the defrost unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 after the ice-turning is completed, and the ice-making operation of the ice-making device 150 is started after receiving the defrost end signal.
[0104] Among them, the ice-making operation of the ice-making device 150 may include monitoring whether the ice-making time of the ice-making device 150 reaches a preset ice-making cycle and controlling ice turning. For example, when the ice-making time reaches a preset ice-making cycle, the ice-making device 150 may be controlled to turn over. If the ice-making evaporator 131 meets the normal defrosting conditions and the ice-making device 150 is in the ice turning state at this time, the ice-making evaporator 131 may be defrosted after the ice turning is completed. After the ice turning is completed, the water supply device will start to supply water to the ice tray, but the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 will be relatively high at this time. If the ice-making operation is started immediately to calculate the ice-making cycle, the liquid water in the ice tray may not be completely frozen at the end of the ice-making cycle. Therefore, the ice-making operation may be started after the defrosting is completed.
[0105] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the refrigerator 100 control method further includes:
[0106] If the working parameters meet the preset normal defrosting conditions of the ice-making evaporator 131 and the current working state of the ice-making device 150 is the ice-making state, a start signal is sent to the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 and the ice-making device 150 is controlled to stop the ice-making operation.
[0107] When the ice-making device 150 is in the ice-making state, the ice-making evaporator 131 is defrosted. Since the water in the ice tray is not completely frozen, it is greatly affected by the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113. The temperature rise of the ice-making chamber 113 caused by the defrosting of the ice-making evaporator 131 may melt the partially frozen ice cubes in the ice tray. Therefore, when the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 is controlled to start the defrosting operation, the ice-making operation is stopped, and the parameters such as the ice-making time of the ice-making device 150 in this ice-making cycle are no longer monitored, so as to avoid calculating the invalid ice-making time in the defrosting process of the ice-making evaporator 131, resulting in the ice cubes not being completely frozen when the ice-making cycle is reached.
[0108] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the refrigerator 100 control method further includes:
[0109] If the working parameters meet the normal defrosting conditions of the ice-making evaporator 131 and the current working state of the ice-making device 150 is the ice-making state, the ice-making operation is restarted after receiving the defrosting end signal of the ice-making evaporator 131 .
[0110] In this embodiment, when the ice-making evaporator 131 is defrosted in the ice-making state, the ice-making operation is stopped and the ice-making parameters stored in the current ice-making cycle can be cleared, such as the recorded ice-making time, the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor, etc., and the ice-making operation can be restarted after the ice-making evaporator 131 is defrosted, such as the ice-making cycle can be recalculated.
[0111] In this way, it can be ensured that the ice-making device 150 continues to operate normally after the ice-making evaporator 131 is defrosted, and the ice-making system will not fail due to the increase in the compartment temperature caused by the defrosting of the ice-making evaporator 131.
[0112] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the operating parameters of the ice-making system may include the cumulative operating time of the compressor after the last defrosting of the ice-making evaporator 131 and / or the number of ice-making times of the ice-making device 150 after the last defrosting of the ice-making evaporator 131.
[0113] “The working parameters satisfy the normal defrosting conditions of the ice-making evaporator 131” may include: the accumulated running time of the compressor after the last defrosting of the ice-making evaporator 131 is greater than or equal to the normal defrosting cycle of the preset ice-making evaporator 131, or the number of ice-making times of the ice-making device 150 is greater than or equal to the normal defrosting and ice-making times of the preset ice-making evaporator 131.
[0114] "The working parameters satisfy the preset full ice defrosting condition of the ice-making evaporator 131" may include: the accumulated running time of the compressor after the last defrosting of the ice-making evaporator 131 is greater than or equal to the preset full ice defrosting cycle of the ice-making evaporator 131, or the number of ice-making times of the ice-making device 150 is greater than or equal to the preset full ice defrosting number of ice-making times.
[0115] The normal defrosting cycle of the ice-making evaporator 131 is greater than the full ice defrosting cycle, and the normal defrosting ice-making times are greater than the full ice defrosting ice-making times.
[0116] Of course, “the working parameters satisfy the normal defrosting condition of the ice-making evaporator 131” may also mean that the cumulative running time of the compressor after the last defrosting of the ice-making evaporator 131 is greater than or equal to the preset normal defrosting cycle of the ice-making evaporator 131, and the number of ice-making times of the ice-making device 150 is greater than or equal to the preset normal defrosting ice-making times of the ice-making evaporator 131. “The working parameters satisfy the preset full ice defrosting condition” may include: the cumulative running time of the compressor after the last defrosting of the ice-making evaporator 131 is greater than or equal to the preset full ice defrosting cycle of the ice-making evaporator 131, and the number of ice-making times of the ice-making device 150 is greater than or equal to the preset full ice defrosting ice-making times.
[0117] For example, if the normal defrost cycle of the ice-making evaporator 131 is 20 hours, the full ice defrost cycle can be 15 hours. When it is detected that the cumulative running time of the compressor reaches 20 hours after the last defrost of the ice-making evaporator 131 is completed, no matter how much ice is in the ice storage box 151, it can be determined that the ice-making evaporator 131 meets the normal defrost conditions. If the ice amount information of the ice storage box 151 is non-full ice information at this time, the working state of the ice-making device 150 is judged. If the ice-making device 150 is in a non-ice-turning state at this time, the defrost unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 can be controlled to turn on. If the ice amount information of the ice storage box 151 is full ice information at this time, because the ice-making device 150 will not perform the ice-turning operation when it is full of ice, therefore, it can be determined that the working state of the ice-making device 150 is a non-ice-turning state at this time, and the defrost unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 can be controlled to turn on.
[0118] When the ice storage box 151 is full of ice, if the working parameters of the ice-making system do not meet the normal defrosting conditions of the ice-making evaporator 131, it can be determined whether the cumulative running time of the compressor is greater than or equal to 15 hours after the last defrosting of the ice-making evaporator 131 was completed. If so, it can be determined that the ice-making evaporator 131 meets the full ice defrosting conditions, and the defrost unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 can be controlled to start in advance to defrost the ice-making evaporator 131.
[0119] If the preset normal defrosting and ice-making times of the ice-making evaporator 131 are 20 times, the preset full-ice defrosting and ice-making times can be 15 times. When it is detected that the ice-making device 150 has made ice 20 times after the last defrosting is completed, no matter the ice storage box is in a full ice state or a non-full ice state, it can be determined that the ice-making evaporator 131 meets the normal defrosting conditions. If at this time the ice storage box is in a non-full ice state and the working state of the ice-making device 150 is a non-ice-turning state, a defrosting signal for the ice-making evaporator 131 can be sent, and the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 can be controlled to turn on, so as to defrost the ice-making evaporator 131. If at this time the ice storage box is in a full ice state, since the ice-making device 150 will not perform the ice-turning operation when it is full of ice, it can be determined that the current working state of the ice-making device 150 is a non-ice-turning state, and the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 can be directly controlled to turn on. When the ice quantity information received from the ice storage box 151 is full ice information, it can be determined whether the number of ice making times of the ice-making device 150 after the last defrosting of the self-made ice evaporator 131 is greater than or equal to 15 times. If so, it can be determined that the ice-making evaporator 131 has met the full ice defrosting conditions, and a defrosting signal for the ice-making evaporator 131 can be sent to control the defrost unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 to open in advance, thereby starting the defrosting of the ice-making evaporator 131.
[0120] In this way, when the ice storage box 151 is full of ice, the ice-making evaporator 131 can be defrosted in advance, thereby minimizing the negative impact of defrosting the ice-making evaporator 131 and reducing the temperature rise of the ice-making chamber 113 caused by defrosting the ice-making evaporator 131, saving energy and reducing the risk of melting ice in the ice storage box 151.
[0121] like Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a control method for a refrigerator 100 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The control method for a refrigerator 100 includes:
[0122] Collect the working parameters of the ice making system;
[0123] When the working parameters meet the normal defrosting conditions of the preset ice-making evaporator 131, the current working state of the ice-making device 150 is obtained. If the current working state meets the defrosting conditions, it is determined whether the ice-making chamber 113 needs to be precooled according to the ice amount information of the ice storage box 151;
[0124] If the ice-making chamber 113 needs to be precooled, the refrigeration system is controlled to cool the ice-making chamber 113, and the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 is monitored. When the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 is equal to or lower than the precooling temperature, the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 is controlled to be turned on;
[0125] If the ice-making chamber 113 does not need to be pre-cooled, the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 is controlled to be turned on;
[0126] When it is detected that the ice amount information of the ice storage box 151 is full of ice information, if the working parameters meet the preset full ice defrosting conditions of the ice-making evaporator 131, the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 is controlled to be turned on.
[0127] The refrigerator control method provided in this embodiment is a further improvement of the refrigerator control method provided in the first embodiment. The difference between the refrigerator 100 control method provided in this embodiment and the refrigerator 100 control method in the first embodiment is that when the working parameters meet the preset normal defrosting conditions, if the current working state of the ice-making device 150 meets the defrosting conditions, it is determined whether the ice-making chamber 113 needs to be precooled according to the ice amount information of the ice storage box 151. When the amount of ice in the ice storage box 151 is greater than a certain value, the ice cubes can release more coldness, and the defrosting of the ice-making evaporator 131 has little effect on the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113. Therefore, at this time, the ice-making chamber 113 can be precooled without precooling, and the defrosting unit can be directly controlled to defrost the ice-making evaporator 131, so that energy consumption can be further saved and excessive precooling can be prevented. When precooling is required, the temperature of the ice-making chamber is first reduced to the precooling temperature before defrosting, which can also prevent the temperature of the ice-making chamber from being too high after the ice-making evaporator defrosts, and the ice cubes in the ice storage box melt, while affecting the ice-making process.
[0128] The precooling temperature may be a fixed temperature or may vary according to the working condition of the ice-making device 150 or parameters affecting the temperature of the ice-making chamber. The precooling temperature may be pre-stored in the memory of the refrigerator 100 .
[0129] For example, when the working parameters of the ice-making system meet the normal defrosting conditions of the ice-making evaporator 131, if the working state of the ice-making device 150 meets the defrosting conditions at this time and the ice-making chamber needs to be pre-cooled, the pre-cooling temperature corresponding to the ice-making chamber 113 can be obtained first, and the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 can be monitored. For example, the temperature sensor in the ice-making chamber 113 can be controlled to detect the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113. Of course, the temperature sensor in the ice-making chamber 113 can periodically detect the temperature in the ice-making chamber 113 and upload and store the detected temperature in the memory of the refrigerator 100. When the working parameters of the ice-making system meet the defrosting conditions of the ice-making evaporator 131, the stored temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 can be directly called.
[0130] If the precooling temperature is -8°C and the current temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 is -3°C, the refrigeration system is controlled to refrigerate the ice-making chamber 113. When the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 drops to the precooling temperature -8°C, the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 is controlled to be turned on to defrost the ice-making evaporator 131. Of course, if the current temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 is lower than -8°C, such as -9°C, there is no need to refrigerate the ice-making chamber 113, and the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 can be directly turned on.
[0131] In this way, when the temperature of the ice making chamber 113 is -8°C, the ice making evaporator 131 is defrosted. If the temperature of the ice making chamber 113 rises by 5°C during the defrosting process, then after the ice making evaporator 131 is defrosted, the temperature of the ice making chamber 113 is still -3°C.
[0132] Thus, even if the temperature of the ice making chamber 113 rises during the defrosting process of the ice making evaporator 131, the temperature of the ice making chamber 113 will not be too high, and will not affect the ice cubes stored in the ice storage box 151 and the ice making process after the defrosting is completed.
[0133] Among them, see Figure 7 In one embodiment, “determining whether to precool the ice making compartment 113 according to the ice quantity information of the ice storage box 151” may include:
[0134] If the amount of ice in the ice storage box 151 is greater than or equal to the first preset value, there is no need to precool the ice making chamber 113;
[0135] If the amount of ice in the ice storage box 151 is less than the first preset value, the ice making chamber 113 needs to be precooled.
[0136] See also Figure 4 In another embodiment, “determining whether the ice making chamber 113 needs to be precooled according to the ice quantity information of the ice storage box 151” may include:
[0137] If the ice quantity information of the ice storage box is not full of ice, the ice making compartment needs to be precooled;
[0138] If the ice storage box is full of ice, there is no need to precool the ice making compartment.
[0139] In this way, since there is a large amount of ice in the ice storage box 151, defrosting of the ice-making evaporator 131 will not cause the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 to rise too much. When the ice in the ice storage box is full of ice or greater than a certain value, pre-cooling is not required and the ice-making evaporator can be directly defrosted to save energy.
[0140] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the refrigerator 100 control method further includes:
[0141] If the ice making chamber 113 needs to be pre-cooled, the corresponding pre-cooling temperature is matched according to the ice quantity information.
[0142] Among them, the precooling temperature may be positively correlated with the amount of ice in the ice storage box 151. The more ice there is in the ice storage box 151, the more cold energy the ice cubes can release, and the smaller the temperature rise of the ice making chamber 113 during the defrosting process of the ice making evaporator 131. Therefore, the matching precooling temperature can be higher.
[0143] For example, if the full amount of ice in the ice storage box 151 is Q, if the current temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 is -3°C, if the current amount of ice in the ice storage box 151 is Q, then the defrosting process of the ice-making evaporator 131 may cause the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 to rise by 2°C. After the defrosting is completed, the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 is -1°C, and the ice cubes in the ice storage box 151 will not melt. Therefore, there is no need to pre-cool the ice-making chamber 113 before defrosting. If the current amount of ice in the ice storage box 151 is 0.8Q, the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 may rise by 4°C during the defrosting process of the ice-making evaporator 131. At this time, the ice-making chamber 113 needs to be pre-cooled before defrosting, and the pre-cooling temperature may be -5°C. When the amount of ice in the ice storage box 151 is 0.6Q, the defrosting of the ice-making evaporator 131 may cause the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 to rise by 6°C. Therefore, the corresponding pre-cooling temperature may be -7°C. In this way, it can be ensured that the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 is below 0°C after the defrosting of the ice-making evaporator 131 is completed, and the ice cubes in the ice storage box 151 will not melt.
[0144] In this embodiment, “matching the corresponding pre-cooling temperature according to ice quantity information” may include:
[0145] If the current ice amount is greater than or equal to the second preset value, the precooling temperature is the first precooling temperature;
[0146] Otherwise, the precooling temperature is the second precooling temperature;
[0147] Among them, the second preset value is smaller than the first preset value, and the second pre-cooling temperature is smaller than the first pre-cooling temperature.
[0148] For example, if the full ice amount of the ice storage box 151 is Q, the first preset value may be 0.8Q, and the second preset value may be 0.5Q. When the current amount of ice in the ice storage box 151 is greater than or equal to the first preset value 0.8Q, there is no need to pre-cool the ice-making chamber 113, and the defrost unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 may be directly turned on to defrost the ice-making evaporator 131; when the current amount of ice in the ice storage box 151 is less than the first preset value 0.8Q, and greater than or equal to the second preset value 0.5Q, the pre-cooling temperature corresponding to the ice-making chamber 113 may be T1. At this time, if the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 is greater than T1, the refrigeration system may be turned on first to pre-cool the ice-making chamber 113. When the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 drops to T1, the defrost unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 may be controlled to turn on to defrost the ice-making evaporator 131; if the current amount of ice in the ice storage box 151 is less than the second preset value 0.5 Q, the pre-cooling temperature corresponding to the ice-making chamber 113 may be T2, and T2 is less than T1 to ensure that the ice cubes in the ice storage box 151 in the ice-making chamber 113 are not affected. At this time, if the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 is greater than T2, the refrigeration system may be turned on first to pre-cool the ice-making chamber 113. When the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 drops to T2, the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 is controlled to be turned on to defrost the ice-making evaporator 131.
[0149] In this way, the pre-cooling temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 is directly matched according to the ice quantity information, and the ice-making evaporator 131 is defrosted when it is confirmed that the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 reaches the pre-cooling temperature. This can avoid the negative impact of excessively high temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 on the ice-making device 150, and at the same time can reasonably control the pre-cooling operation, avoid excessive pre-cooling, and reduce energy consumption.
[0150] See also Figure 8 , is a refrigerator 100 control method according to a third embodiment of the present invention. The refrigerator 100 control method includes:
[0151] Collect the working parameters of the ice making system;
[0152] When the working parameters meet the preset normal defrosting conditions of the ice-making evaporator 131, the current working state of the ice-making device 150 is obtained, and if the current working state meets the defrosting conditions, the refrigeration system is controlled to refrigerate the ice-making chamber 113;
[0153] When it is monitored that the temperature of the ice-making compartment 113 is equal to or lower than the pre-cooling temperature, the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 is controlled to be turned on;
[0154] When it is detected that the ice amount information of the ice storage box 151 is full of ice information, and the working parameters meet the preset full ice defrosting conditions of the ice-making evaporator 131, the refrigeration system is controlled to refrigerate the ice-making compartment 113;
[0155] When it is monitored that the temperature of the ice-making compartment 113 reaches the pre-cooling temperature, the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 is controlled to be turned on.
[0156] The refrigerator control method of this embodiment is a further improvement of the refrigerator control method of the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between the refrigerator 100 control method of this embodiment and the refrigerator 100 control method of the second embodiment is that when the ice amount information of the ice storage box 151 is full ice information, the defrost unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 is not directly turned on to defrost the ice-making evaporator 131, but the ice-making compartment 113 is precooled and then the defrost unit is turned on to defrost the ice-making evaporator 131.
[0157] In this way, it is possible to further prevent the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 from being too high in the full ice state due to abnormal conditions. For example, in the full ice state, if the user opens the refrigeration door 121 or the small ice-making door for a long time, causing the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 to be too high, at this time, if it is detected that the ice-making evaporator 131 meets the full ice defrosting condition, directly turning on its corresponding defrosting unit to defrost the ice-making evaporator 131 may cause the temperature in the ice-making chamber 113 to further increase, and the ice cubes in the ice storage box 151 to melt. Therefore, when the ice-making chamber 113 is full of ice, the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 can be controlled to turn on after precooling.
[0158] The precooling temperature may be a preset fixed temperature, or may be a temperature that varies according to the condition of the ice-making device or other parameters that may affect the temperature of the ice-making compartment.
[0159] For further information, see Fig. 9 In this embodiment, the refrigerator 100 control method further includes:
[0160] The corresponding pre-cooling temperature is matched according to the ice quantity information of the ice storage box 151.
[0161] The pre-cooling temperature may be positively correlated with the current amount of ice in the ice storage box 151 . The more the current amount of ice in the ice storage box 151 , the higher the corresponding pre-cooling temperature may be.
[0162] Specifically, if the ice storage box 151 is full of ice with an amount of Q, the pre-cooling temperature can be T1 when the ice storage box 151 is full of ice; when the ice storage box 151 is not full of ice, if it is greater than or equal to a preset value, such as greater than or equal to 0.5Q, the corresponding pre-cooling temperature is T2; when the ice storage box 151 is less than the preset value, such as less than 0.5Q, the corresponding pre-cooling temperature is T3, wherein T1 is greater than T2, and T2 is greater than T3.
[0163] If the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 is less than or equal to the corresponding pre-cooling temperature, the defrost unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 can be directly turned on. If the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 is greater than the corresponding pre-cooling temperature, the refrigeration system is turned on to cool the ice-making chamber 113 until the temperature of the ice-making chamber 113 reaches the corresponding pre-cooling temperature, and then the defrost unit corresponding to the ice-making evaporator 131 is controlled to turn on.
[0164] In this way, the precooling temperature can be controlled according to the amount of ice in the ice storage box 151, which can prevent inadequate precooling or over-precooling, and can avoid the temperature in the ice storage box 151 being too low, while saving energy consumption.
[0165] See also Fig.10 In one embodiment of the present invention, a refrigerator 100 is provided, comprising a memory 102 and a processor 101, wherein the memory 102 and the processor 101 are connected to each other through a communication bus 104. The memory 102 stores a computer program that can be run on the processor 101, and when the processor 101 executes the computer program, the steps in the refrigerator control method in the above embodiment are implemented. The refrigerator 100 also includes a communication interface 103 connected to the communication bus 104, which is used to communicate with other devices in the refrigerator 100.
[0166] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon. When the computer program is executed by a processor, the steps in the refrigerator control method in the above embodiment are implemented.
[0167] To sum up, the refrigerator control method provided by the present invention, when it is detected that the ice amount information of the ice storage box is full ice information, if the ice-making evaporator does not meet the normal defrosting conditions at this time, it can be judged whether the ice-making evaporator meets the full ice defrosting conditions; if the ice-making evaporator meets the full ice defrosting conditions at this time, the defrost unit can be controlled to start to defrost the ice-making evaporator in advance, thereby saving energy consumption, and at the same time, reducing the negative impact of defrosting of the ice-making evaporator on the ice-making device.
