[0019] The present application provides a heating device for a refrigerator, wherein the refrigerator is provided with an anti-condensation zone. The hot air provided by the heating device can prevent condensation from occurring in the anti-condensation zone of the refrigerator and reduce the power consumption of the refrigerator. Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the heating device provided by this application. Figure 1 As shown, the heating device 10 includes a cabinet 110, a partition 120, a heating element 130, and a condenser 140. The cabinet 110 is provided with a heating compartment, which is connected to the anti-condensation zone 220. The partition 120 is disposed within the cabinet 110. The condenser 140 is disposed on the second side of the partition 120 and is used to generate heat to supply the heating compartment and the anti-condensation zone 220 when the refrigeration mechanism is operating. The heating element 130 is disposed on the first side of the partition 120 and is used to generate heat to compensate for the heat in the heating compartment and the anti-condensation zone 220. The first side and the second side are disposed opposite each other.

[0020] The heating device 10 includes a cabinet 110, a partition 120, a heating element 130, and a condenser 140. The cabinet 110 is provided with a heating compartment, which is connected to the refrigerator's anti-condensation zone 220. The partition 120 is disposed within the cabinet 110 and fixedly connected to the cabinet 110. A condenser 140 is disposed on a second side of the partition 120 and connected to the refrigerator's refrigeration mechanism. When the refrigeration mechanism is operating, the condenser 140 exchanges heat between a gaseous refrigerant and the surrounding air, thereby heating the air surrounding the condenser 140. The heated air can adjust the temperature within the heating compartment, thereby providing heat to the heating compartment. The heated air can also enter the anti-condensation zone 220, which is connected to the heating compartment, to provide heat to the anti-condensation zone 220, thereby preventing condensation from forming there. Specifically, when the refrigerator's refrigeration mechanism operates, condenser 140 generates heat. This heat can raise the temperature of the heating compartment and enter anti-condensation zone 220 to prevent condensation there. A heater 130 is disposed on a first side of interlayer 120. When operating, heater 130 generates heat, which can also be considered to heat the surrounding air. The heated air can then provide thermal compensation for the heating compartment and enter anti-condensation zone 220, which is connected to the heating compartment, for thermal compensation. Specifically, the heat from heater 130 can enter anti-condensation zone 220, thereby preventing condensation there. It is understood that heater 130 can provide thermal compensation for the anti-condensation zone and, if the heating compartment cannot reach the set temperature, heater 130 can provide thermal compensation for the heating compartment to ensure that the heating compartment reaches the set temperature. Among them, the first side and the second side of the partition 120 are arranged opposite to each other, that is, the partition 120 isolates the heating element 130 and the condensing tube 140 from each other, providing a safe working environment for the heating element 130 and the condensing tube 140, thereby improving the safety of the heating device 10.

[0021] The heating device 10 provided in this application includes a cabinet 110, an interlayer 120, a heating element 130, and a condenser 140. The cabinet 110 is provided with a heating compartment, which is connected to the anti-condensation area 220. The interlayer 120 is disposed within the cabinet 110. The heating element 130 is disposed on a first side of the interlayer 120, and the condenser 140 is disposed on a second side of the interlayer 120, with the first side and the second side being disposed opposite each other. In the above manner, the heating device 10 generates heat when the refrigeration mechanism of the refrigerator is working by arranging the condenser 140 on the second side of the partition 120 to provide heat for the heating compartment, thereby adjusting the temperature of the heating compartment. Furthermore, the heat generated by the condenser 140 can also enter the anti-condensation area connected to the heating compartment to prevent condensation in the anti-condensation area, thereby reducing the power consumption of the refrigerator. Furthermore, by arranging the heater 130, the heat generated by the heater 130 is used to compensate for the heat of the heating compartment and the anti-condensation area, thereby improving the heating capacity of the heating compartment. Furthermore, the heater 130 and the condenser 140 are respectively arranged on the first side and the second side of the partition 120 arranged opposite to each other, which can improve the safety of the heating device 10.

[0022] Optionally, see Figure 2 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a barrier layer in the embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the partition 120 includes a hollow partition 121, and the condenser 140 is arranged in the hollow partition 121 to prevent the condenser 140 from being displaced and reduce contact with the user to cause accidental injury.

[0023] The condenser 140 of this embodiment is arranged in the hollow partition 121, which can prevent the condenser 140 from being displaced and prevent accidental touch, thereby improving the safety of the condenser 140.

[0024] Optionally, a through hole 122 is provided on the second side of the interlayer 120. This can be understood as a through hole 122 being provided on the side of the hollow interlayer 121 facing away from the heating element 130. The through hole 122 connects the second side of the interlayer 120 with the hollow interlayer 121. When the refrigerator's refrigeration mechanism is operating, that is, when high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant flows through the condenser tube 140, the condenser tube 140 exchanges heat from the refrigerant with the air surrounding the condenser tube 140 within the hollow interlayer 121. The air after heat exchange can then be discharged from the hollow interlayer 121 through the through hole 122 on the second side of the interlayer 120. In other words, the through hole 122 on the second side of the interlayer 120 is used to conduct heat generated by the condenser tube 140, thereby increasing the temperature of the heating compartment and heating the heating compartment. Furthermore, the heat can also enter the refrigerator's anti-condensation zone 220 to prevent condensation in the anti-condensation zone 220, thereby realizing multi-scenario applications of the heat from the condenser tube 140.

[0025] In this embodiment, a through hole 122 is provided on the second side of the partition 120, which can conduct the heat generated by the condenser 140 in the hollow partition 121, so that the heat of the condenser 140 can increase the temperature of the heating chamber and have a heating effect on the heating chamber. Furthermore, the heat can also enter the anti-condensation area 220 of the refrigerator to prevent condensation in the anti-condensation area 220, thereby realizing multi-scenario application of the heat of the condenser 140.

[0026] Optionally, see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of another embodiment of the heating device provided by this application. Figure 3 As shown, the partition 120 is fixedly connected to the cabinet 110, and an air inlet is provided on one side of the fixed connection, which can be understood as an air inlet (not marked in the figure) provided in the hollow partition 121. The heating device 10 also includes a fan 160, which is provided in the hollow partition 121 to supply air to the hollow partition 121 through the air inlet. It can be understood that the heating device 10 is also provided with a fan 160 in the hollow partition 121 of the partition 120. The fan 160 can accelerate the speed of air entering the hollow partition 121 through the air inlet, and supply air to the hollow partition 121 to accelerate the speed of heat exchange between the air and the condenser 140, thereby providing more heat for the heating compartment and the anti-condensation area 220, thereby realizing multi-scenario application of the heat of the condenser 140. Among them, the hollow partition 121 can be provided with at least one fan 160, and the number of fans can be set according to the heat exchange requirements of the condenser 140.

[0027] In this embodiment, the partition 120 is fixedly connected to the cabinet 110, and an air inlet is provided on one side of the fixed connection. The heating device 10 is provided with a fan 160 within the hollow partition 121. In this manner, the fan 160 can accelerate the speed at which air enters the hollow partition 121 through the air inlet, supplying air to the hollow partition 121, thereby accelerating the heat exchange between the air and the condenser 140, thereby providing more heat to the heating compartment and the anti-condensation area 220, thereby realizing multi-scenario applications of the heat from the condenser 140.

[0028] Optionally, the heating device 10 further includes a fan protection cover 170 , which is disposed between the fan 160 and the air inlet. The fan protection cover 170 can prevent accidental touch.

[0029] Optionally, the heating device 10 further includes a flow guide 150 , which is disposed on the second side of the partition 120 and is used to guide the heat of the condenser 140 to the anti-condensation area 220 .

[0030] The heating device 10 also includes a guide member 150, and the guide member 150 is arranged on the second side of the partition 120. After the condenser 140 exchanges heat with the surrounding air, the hot air that has completed the heat exchange is guided to the anti-condensation area 220 of the refrigerator, thereby accelerating the flow of hot air, that is, accelerating the rate of heat flow of the condenser 140 to improve the utilization rate of heat.

[0031] The heating device 10 of this embodiment is provided with a flow guide 150, and the flow guide 150 is disposed on the second side of the partition 120. In this manner, the flow guide 150 guides the heat generated by the condenser 140 to the anti-condensation area 220 of the refrigerator, thereby shortening the time it takes for the heat to reach the anti-condensation area 220 and improving the utilization rate of the heat.

[0032] Optionally, the partition 120 divides the heating compartment into a first sub-chamber and a second sub-chamber, the first sub-chamber is used for storing things, and the second sub-chamber is used for placing the flow guide 150 .

[0033] The partition 120 divides the heating compartment of the cabinet 110 into a first sub-chamber and a second sub-chamber. The first sub-chamber is used for storage to improve the utilization of the cabinet 110. The second sub-chamber is used to house the flow guide 150. It can be understood that in the direction parallel to gravity, the partition 120 divides the heating compartment of the cabinet 110 into the first sub-chamber and the second sub-chamber, with the first sub-chamber located above the second sub-chamber in the direction parallel to gravity.

[0034] In this embodiment, the heating compartment of the cabinet 110 is divided into a first sub-chamber and a second sub-chamber by the partition 120. The first sub-chamber is used for storage, and the second sub-chamber is used to place the guide member 150. In this way, the first sub-chamber is used for storage, thereby improving the space utilization of the heating compartment.

[0035] Optionally, the guide member 150 includes a guide plate 151 and a guide groove 152. The guide plate 151 is used to evenly distribute the heat when the heat generated by the condenser 140 enters the second sub-cavity through the through hole 122. The guide plate 151 can also form a groove, and the groove is spaced perpendicular to the guide groove 152 to guide the heat to the guide groove 152 through the groove, thereby accelerating the heat transfer speed. The guide groove 152 is fixedly connected to the end of the guide plate 151, and is used to guide the heat of the condenser 140 to the anti-condensation area 220 to accelerate the circulation speed of the heat of the condenser 140.

[0036] The guide member 150 of this embodiment includes a guide plate 151 and a guide groove 152, wherein the guide groove 152 is fixedly connected to the end of the guide plate 151. In this manner, the guide plate 151 evenly distributes the heat from the condenser tube 140, thereby increasing the heating rate of the heating compartment. The guide plate 151 also directs the heat to the guide member 150, which then directs the heat to the anti-condensation area 220 to prevent condensation in the anti-condensation area 220. Furthermore, the guide plate 151 and the guide groove 152 increase the speed of heat flow, thereby improving heat utilization.

[0037] Optionally, the heating device 10 further includes a drawer 180, which is disposed on the first side of the compartment 120 and is used for storage. The heating element 130 can also be disposed at the bottom of the drawer 180 to provide heat to the storage area provided by the drawer 180 and the anti-condensation area 220, thereby reducing heat loss by reducing the heat transfer medium. The heating device 10 of this embodiment, by providing a drawer 180 that can be freely removed from the heating compartment of the cabinet 110 as storage space, can enhance the user experience.

[0038] Optionally, the guide member 150 is fixedly connected to the drawer 180 to serve as a handle for the drawer 180, facilitating the withdrawal of the drawer 180. In this embodiment, the guide member 150 is fixedly connected to the drawer 180, so that the guide member 150 serves as a handle for the drawer 180, facilitating the withdrawal of the drawer 180. Furthermore, the guide member 150 can also guide the heat generated by the condenser 140 to the anti-condensation area 220, thereby increasing the heat circulation speed and further increasing the functional diversity of the guide member 150.

[0039] Optionally, the cabinet 110 and the partition 120 can be connected by a structural method on both sides of the guide plate 151. On the basis of ensuring that there is no air leakage on both sides, the structural connection method is not limited and can be bonding, snap fastening, etc.

[0040] This application also provides a refrigerator, see Figures 4 and 5 , Figure 4 This is a structural diagram of an embodiment of a refrigerator provided by the present application; Figure 5 yes Figure 4 Rear view of the refrigerator in the embodiment. As shown in the figure, the refrigerator 20 is provided with an anti-condensation area 220, and the refrigerator 20 includes a heating device 10, wherein the heating device 10 is any one of the heating devices mentioned above.

[0041] In other embodiments of refrigerator 20, refrigerator 20 is further provided with two upper and lower refrigeration chambers and a central heating chamber 230. The door of the upper refrigeration chamber is a glass door, which serves as the anti-condensation zone 220. The heating chamber 230 is provided with a heating device 10. The refrigeration mechanism of the refrigerator is connected to the condenser 140 of the heating device 10. When the refrigeration mechanism is in operation, the condenser 140 provides heat to the heating chamber 230 and the anti-condensation zone 220. The fan 160 of the heating device 10 draws air from the back of the refrigerator. After being heated by the condenser 140, the cool air is directed by the guide member 150 and blown onto the glass panel of the refrigeration door to compensate for the heat of the heating element 130. The guide groove 152 of the guide member 150 can serve as a handle for the drawer 180. The guide plate 151 on the guide member 150 is used to guide the flow of hot air and ensure uniform air volume distribution at various locations. The back of the heating chamber 230 is equipped with an air duct that connects to the air inlet of the heating device 10. The heating device 10 also includes multiple fans 160 and a fan shield 170. The fans 160 draw air from the back of the housing into the hollow interlayer 121. The fan shield 170 prevents accidental contact and ensures unidirectional air flow. The temperature of the heating chamber 230 is generally 8-15°C.

[0042] In one embodiment of the refrigerator 20 using the heating device 10, when the compressor in the refrigeration mechanism of the refrigerator 20 is started, the heat generated by the condenser 140 of the heating device 10 is used to provide heat to the heating chamber 230 of the refrigerator to increase the temperature of the heating chamber 230, and at the same time provide heat to the anti-condensation area to prevent condensation in the anti-condensation area 220, thereby realizing multi-scenario application of condensation heat and reducing the power consumption of the refrigerator. When the compressor is turned off, the refrigerator 20 can control the heating element 130 of the heating device 10 to heat, generate heat to provide heat compensation to the heating chamber 230 and the anti-condensation area 220, to prevent condensation in the anti-condensation area 220. The heat of the condenser 140 can also make the temperature of the heating chamber 230 higher than the refrigeration temperature. When the temperature of the heating chamber 230 needs to be precisely controlled, the heating element 130 of the heating device 10 can be used to heat the condenser 140 to provide heat compensation.

[0043] The present application also provides a control method for a refrigerator, wherein the refrigerator includes a refrigeration mechanism and any one of the heating devices in the above-mentioned heating device embodiments. Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a flow chart of an embodiment of a refrigerator control method provided by the present application. Figure 6 As shown, the refrigerator control method includes the following steps:

[0044] Step S110: Acquire the current temperature of the heating compartment.

[0045] Set the preset temperature T1 of the heating compartment and obtain the current temperature T2 of the heating compartment.

[0046] Step S120: In response to the current temperature of the heating compartment being lower than the preset temperature of the heating compartment, controlling the heating element to start operating.

[0047] The current temperature T2 of the heating compartment and the preset temperature T1 are determined. In response to the current temperature T2 of the heating compartment being lower than the preset temperature T1, the heating element 130 is controlled to start operating.

[0048] Step S130: In response to the current temperature of the heating compartment being higher than or equal to the preset temperature of the heating compartment, controlling the heating element to stop working.

[0049] The current temperature T2 of the heating compartment and the preset temperature T1 are determined, and in response to the current temperature T2 being greater than or equal to the preset temperature T1, the heating element 130 is controlled to stop working.

[0050] To reduce the power consumption of your refrigerator, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 yes Figure 6 The flowchart of step S120 in the embodiment is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, step S120 may further include the following steps:

[0051] Step S121: Acquire the working status of the compressor in the refrigeration mechanism.

[0052] The refrigeration mechanism also includes a compressor. When the refrigeration mechanism is operating, the compressor compresses low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant within the compressor cylinder into high-temperature, high-pressure hot gas. When the current temperature T2 of the heating compartment is less than the preset temperature T1, the operating status of the compressor in the refrigeration mechanism is obtained.

[0053] Step S122: In response to the compressor being turned on, controlling the heating element to operate for a first operating time.

[0054] In response to the compressor being turned on, that is, the refrigeration mechanism being operated, the heat generated by the condenser pipe 140 in the heating compartment can compensate for the heat in the heating compartment, thereby shortening the operating time of the heating element 130. In response to the compressor being turned on, the heating element 130 is controlled to operate for the first operating time.

[0055] Step S123: In response to the compressor being turned off, controlling the heating element to operate for a second operating time.

[0056] In response to the compressor being turned off, the heating element 130 is controlled to operate for a second operating time. Since the compressor is turned off, i.e., the condenser 140 does not generate heat and cannot provide heat compensation to the heating compartment, the heating element 130 operates for the second operating time longer than the first operating time.

[0057] Through the above control method, it is possible to determine whether the heating element 130 needs to be turned on for heat supplementation based on the current temperature T2 and the preset temperature T1 of the heating compartment. The working time of the heating element 130 can be further controlled based on the working state of the compressor. If the compressor is on, the condenser 140 can generate a certain amount of heat. The heating element 130 can be controlled to work for a shorter time, that is, the heating element 130 works for the first working time to supplement heat. If the compressor is off, the condenser 140 obviously cannot provide heat compensation. The heating element 130 can be controlled to work for a longer time, that is, the heating element 130 works for the second working time to supplement heat, so that the heating compartment can quickly reach the preset temperature and have sufficient heat to prevent condensation.
