TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of heat exchange systems, in particular to a control method of a heat exchange system, a control device of a heat exchange system, a heat exchange system, an electrical appliance, a computer device and a readable storage medium. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the related art, the defrosting of the traditional air-cooled variable frequency frost-free refrigerator uses electric heating or reverse circulation method to remove the frost on the evaporator. These defrosting methods not only have high power and high energy consumption, but also have a large temperature difference in the freezing compartment during the defrosting process, which has a great impact on the low temperature of the compartment, and the temperature can be increased by 20℃, which has a great influence on food preservation. Experiments show that the preservation period will be shortened by about 18% under the impact of a temperature difference of 20℃. SUMMARY
[0003] The present application aims to at least solve one of the technical problems in the prior art that the defrosting by electric heating or reverse circulation leads to poor temperature control.
[0004] To this end, a first aspect of the present application provides a control method of a heat exchange system.
[0005] A second aspect of the present application provides a control device of a heat exchange system.
[0006] A third aspect of the present application provides a heat exchange system.
[0007] A fourth aspect of the present application provides an electrical appliance.
[0008] A fifth aspect of the present application provides a computer device.
[0009] A sixth aspect of the present application provides a readable storage medium.
[0010] Therefore, according to the first aspect of the present application, a control method of a heat exchange system is provided, comprising: entering a defrosting mode in response to a defrosting instruction; in the defrosting mode, adjusting the frequency of the compressor according to the indoor environment temperature, so that the saturation temperature of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor is equal to the indoor environment temperature; adjusting the opening degree of the expansion valve according to the indoor environment temperature, so that the refrigerant passing through the expansion valve meets the defrosting demand; and exiting the defrosting mode after the first condition is met.
[0011] The heat exchange system control method proposed in this invention enters a defrost mode when defrosting is required. In defrost mode, the compressor frequency is adjusted according to the indoor ambient temperature so that the saturation temperature of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor is equal to the indoor ambient temperature. Consequently, the refrigerant and the indoor ambient temperature are the same in the condenser. Therefore, the refrigerant enters the subcooling pipe from the condenser without heat exchange. At the same time, the opening of the expansion valve on the subcooling pipe is adjusted according to the indoor ambient temperature to control the temperature of the refrigerant entering the evaporator, ensuring it meets the defrosting requirements. After the refrigerant passes through the expansion valve, its temperature decreases. Since the temperature of the refrigerant before passing through the expansion valve is the indoor ambient temperature, the temperature of the refrigerant entering the evaporator can be lower than the indoor ambient temperature. By adjusting the expansion valve, the refrigerant meets the defrosting requirements, thereby achieving defrosting of the evaporator and its inlet pipe. Furthermore, when the refrigerant flows out of the evaporator and into the return pipe, the temperature of the evaporator is lower than the indoor ambient temperature, allowing it to absorb heat from the indoor environment or the subcooling pipe before entering the compressor for circulation. After meeting the first condition, the defrost mode is exited.
[0012] The above methods do not require refrigerant to circulate in reverse and eliminate the electric heating element, thereby reducing the power consumption of the defrosting process. Furthermore, since the evaporator still operates in cooling mode during defrosting, the temperature rise of the evaporator can be effectively controlled, reducing the temperature difference between the evaporator and the original cooling temperature, and improving the cooling effect. For refrigerators, this can reduce the impact on the compartment temperature and improve the preservation effect of food.

[0019] On the basis of any of the preceding technical solutions, further, the step of adjusting the opening degree of the expansion valve so that the refrigerant passing through the expansion valve meets the defrosting requirement according to the indoor environment temperature specifically comprises: calculating a target temperature according to the indoor environment temperature and a preset temperature difference, the target temperature being lower than the indoor environment temperature; and adjusting the opening degree of the expansion valve so that the temperature of the refrigerant passing through the expansion valve is equal to the target temperature.
[0020] In this technical solution, the step of adjusting the opening degree of the expansion valve so that the refrigerant passing through the expansion valve meets the defrosting requirement according to the indoor environment temperature specifically comprises: calculating a target temperature according to the indoor environment temperature and a preset temperature difference, the target temperature being lower than the indoor environment temperature; and adjusting the opening degree of the expansion valve so that the temperature of the refrigerant passing through the expansion valve is equal to the target temperature, so that the refrigerant at the target temperature enters the evaporator to defrost, and the preset temperature difference can ensure that the temperature of the refrigerant for defrosting meets the defrosting requirement, thereby ensuring the defrosting effect.

[0022] In the technical solution, the step of adjusting the opening of the expansion valve to make the temperature of the refrigerant passing through the expansion valve equal to the target temperature specifically comprises: obtaining the current temperature of the refrigerant passing through the expansion valve, comparing the size relationship between the current temperature and the target temperature, and adjusting the opening of the expansion valve according to the size relationship between the current temperature and the target temperature, so that the current temperature and the target temperature are equal, and the opening of the expansion valve is adjusted in a feedback manner, which can improve the accuracy of the temperature adjustment of the refrigerant, and the adjustment manner can form dynamic adjustment, thereby improving the reliability of the defrosting operation.
[0023] On the basis of any of the above technical solutions, further, the preset temperature difference is greater than 0℃ and less than or equal to 5℃.
[0024] In the technical solution, the preset temperature difference is greater than 0℃ and less than or equal to 10℃, so that the temperature of the refrigerant entering the evaporator is slightly lower than the indoor environment temperature, thereby improving the defrosting effect, and reducing the temperature difference of the refrigerant, which helps to reduce the power consumption of the compressor.
[0025] On the basis of any of the above technical solutions, further, after the first condition is met, the step of exiting the defrosting mode specifically comprises: after the running time of the heat exchange system in the defrosting mode reaches a preset time, the defrosting mode is exited.
[0026] In the technical solution, after the first condition is met, the step of exiting the defrosting mode specifically comprises: after the running time of the heat exchange system in the defrosting mode reaches a preset time, the defrosting mode is exited, and the heat exchange system returns to the original working mode, thereby reducing the influence of long-time defrosting mode operation on the temperature.
[0027] On the basis of any of the above technical solutions, further, after the first condition is met, the step of exiting the defrosting mode specifically comprises: in the case that the temperature of the inlet pipe of the evaporator reaches a preset temperature, the defrosting mode is exited.

Figures 1 to 7
[0075] Embodiment 1
[0076] Figure 3 One of the flowcharts of the control method of a heat exchange system provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown.
[0077] As shown in Figure 3 , the flowchart of the control method of a heat exchange system provided by an embodiment of the present application is as follows:
[0078] Step 302: When the heat exchange system is running, the controller controls the heat exchange system to enter a defrosting mode in response to a defrosting instruction;
[0079] Step 304: According to the indoor environment temperature detected by the second temperature sensor, the controller controls the compressor to adjust the operating frequency to adjust the saturation temperature of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor, so that the saturation temperature of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor is equal to the indoor environment temperature;
[0080] Step 306: According to the indoor environment temperature, the controller controls the expansion valve to adjust the opening degree to change the temperature of the refrigerant passing through the expansion valve, so that the refrigerant passing through the expansion valve meets the defrosting requirement;
[0081] Step 308: After the controller detects that the running of the defrosting mode meets the first condition, the controller controls the heat exchange system to exit the defrosting mode.
[0082] In this embodiment, the control method of a heat exchange system is applied to a heat exchange system, specifically, as Figure 1 andFigure 2 As shown, the heat exchange system includes: a compressor, a discharge pipe, a condenser, a subcooling pipe, an expansion valve, an evaporator, a return pipe, a pressure sensor, and a first temperature sensor. The pressure sensor is installed on the discharge pipe, thereby enabling it to detect the pressure of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor. The expansion valve is installed on the subcooling pipe, and the first temperature sensor is installed on the subcooling pipe, located between the expansion valve and the evaporator, thereby enabling it to detect the temperature of the refrigerant after it has expanded through the expansion valve.
[0083] Furthermore, the compressor, exhaust pipe, condenser, subcooling pipe, expansion valve, evaporator, and return pipe can form a heat exchange flow path in which the refrigerant can exchange heat.
[0084] In addition, the heat exchange system also includes a second temperature sensor, which is electrically connected to the controller to detect the indoor ambient temperature.
[0085] Specifically, when the heat exchange system is running, if a defrosting condition is triggered and a defrosting command is issued or received from the user, the controller responds to the defrosting command and controls the heat exchange system to operate in defrosting mode.
[0086] In defrost mode, the controller adjusts the compressor frequency based on the detection results of the second temperature sensor, so that the temperature of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor is equal to the indoor ambient temperature. Specifically, the compressor can compress the low-temperature, low-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant, and the saturation temperature of the high-temperature, high-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant is the same as the indoor ambient temperature.
[0087] Afterwards, the high-temperature and high-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser. At this time, the temperature of the high-temperature and high-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant is the same as the indoor ambient temperature. Therefore, there is no phase change in the refrigerant and no heat exchange occurs.
[0088] Afterwards, the refrigerant flows out of the condenser in a saturated gaseous state and enters the subcooling pipe. The controller adjusts the opening of the expansion valve according to the indoor ambient temperature, thereby adjusting the temperature of the refrigerant to a suitable defrosting temperature. Then, the gaseous saturated refrigerant enters the evaporator and condenses and releases heat in the evaporator, thus achieving the defrosting effect.
[0089] Afterwards, the saturated subcooled liquid refrigerant flows out of the evaporator, enters the return pipe, and absorbs heat from the indoor environment and the subcooling pipe, evaporating into superheated gaseous refrigerant.
[0090] Then, the superheated gaseous refrigerant enters the compressor and is compressed to repeat the above process, thereby achieving a continuous defrosting effect.
[0091] After the heat exchange system is running in defrost mode and the first condition is met, the defrost mode of the control heat exchange system is exited.
[0092] The defrosting method above does not need to reverse the circulation of the refrigerant, and cancels the electric heating element, thereby reducing the power consumption of the defrosting process, and since the evaporator is still in the refrigeration mode during the defrosting process, the temperature rise of the evaporator can be effectively controlled, the temperature difference between the evaporator and the original refrigeration temperature is reduced, and the refrigeration effect is improved. For a refrigerator, the influence on the temperature of the compartment can be reduced, and the preservation effect of the food can be improved.
[0093] It should be noted that since errors cannot be avoided, the saturation temperature of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor is equal to the indoor environment temperature, which can be understood as the saturation temperature of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor being close to the indoor environment temperature. Specifically, the error value can be ±1℃ or the like.
[0094] Embodiment 2:
[0095] Figure 4 Fig. 2 shows a flowchart of a control method of a heat exchange system according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0096] As shown in Figure 4 , the flowchart of the control method of the heat exchange system according to an embodiment of the present application is as follows:
[0097] Step 402: When the heat exchange system is running, the controller controls the heat exchange system to enter the defrosting mode in response to a defrosting instruction;
[0098] Step 404: The controller obtains the detection result of the second temperature sensor on the indoor environment temperature, and calculates the target pressure of the refrigerant when the saturation temperature of the refrigerant is equal to the indoor environment temperature;
[0099] Step 406: The controller adjusts the frequency of the compressor according to the target pressure, so that the pressure of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor is equal to the target pressure;
[0100] Step 408: According to the indoor environment temperature, the opening degree of the expansion valve is controlled to change the temperature of the refrigerant passing through the expansion valve, so that the refrigerant passing through the expansion valve meets the defrosting demand;
[0101] Step 410: After the controller detects that the running of the defrosting mode meets the first condition, the heat exchange system exits the defrosting mode.
[0102] In this embodiment, the control method of the heat exchange system is applied to the heat exchange system, specifically, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the heat exchange system comprises a compressor, an exhaust pipe, a condenser, a supercooling pipe, an expansion valve, an evaporator, a return pipe, a pressure sensor and a first temperature sensor, wherein the pressure sensor is arranged on the exhaust pipe, so that the pressure sensor can detect the refrigerant pressure discharged by the compressor; the expansion valve is arranged on the supercooling pipe; and the first temperature sensor is arranged on the supercooling pipe and located between the expansion valve and the evaporator, so that the first temperature sensor can detect the temperature of the refrigerant after expansion by the expansion valve.
[0103] Further, the compressor, the exhaust pipe, the condenser, the supercooling pipe, the expansion valve, the evaporator and the return pipe can form a heat exchange flow path, in which the refrigerant can flow for heat exchange.
[0104] Further, the heat exchange system further comprises a second temperature sensor electrically connected with the controller, for detecting the indoor ambient temperature.
[0105] Specifically, when the heat exchange system is running, such as when a defrosting condition is triggered, a defrosting instruction is issued, or a defrosting instruction from a user is received, the controller controls the heat exchange system to run in a defrosting mode in response to the defrosting instruction.
[0106] In the defrosting mode, the controller acquires the detection result of the second temperature sensor, and calculates a target pressure corresponding to the refrigerant when the saturation temperature of the refrigerant is equal to the indoor ambient temperature according to the detection result and the saturation temperature of the refrigerant, and then adjusts the frequency of the compressor according to the target pressure, so that the refrigerant pressure discharged by the compressor is equal to the target pressure, thereby making the temperature of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor equal to the indoor ambient temperature, specifically, the compressor can compress the low-temperature and low-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant into high-temperature and high-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant, and the saturation temperature of the high-temperature and high-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant is the same as the indoor ambient temperature.
[0107] Then, the high-temperature and high-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser, at this time, the temperature of the high-temperature and high-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant is the same as the indoor ambient temperature, so that the refrigerant does not change phase and does not exchange heat.
[0108] Then, the refrigerant flows out of the condenser in a saturated gaseous state, enters the supercooling pipe, and the controller adjusts the opening degree of the expansion valve according to the indoor ambient temperature, thereby adjusting the temperature of the refrigerant to a temperature suitable for defrosting, and then the gaseous saturated refrigerant releases heat in the evaporator after entering the evaporator, thereby achieving the defrosting effect.
[0109] Then, the saturated supercooled liquid refrigerant flows out of the evaporator, enters the return pipe, and absorbs heat from the indoor environment and the supercooling pipe, and evaporates into superheated gaseous refrigerant.
[0110] Then, the superheated gaseous refrigerant enters the compressor for compression to repeat the above process, thereby achieving a continuous defrosting effect.
[0111] And the heat exchange system to defrost mode to meet the first condition, exit control heat exchange system defrost mode.
[0112] The defrosting method above does not need to make the refrigerant reverse circulation, and cancels the electric heating element, thereby reducing the power consumption of the defrosting process, and since the evaporator is still in refrigeration mode during the defrosting process, the temperature rise of the evaporator can be effectively controlled, reducing the temperature difference between the evaporator and the original refrigeration temperature, improving the refrigeration effect. For the refrigerator, it can reduce the influence on the temperature of the compartment and improve the preservation effect of the food.
[0113] Specifically, the saturation temperature and pressure of the refrigerant correspond to the refrigerant characteristics. The following Table 1 and Table 2 illustrate the comparison between the saturation temperature and pressure of the refrigerant using isobutane R600a refrigerant as an example.
[0114] Table 1
[0115]
[0116] Table 2
[0117]
[0118] As shown in Table 1 above, the comparison data of the partial temperature saturation temperature and absolute pressure of isobutane R600a refrigerant at minus 1 degree Celsius to minus 50 degrees Celsius is shown.
[0119] As shown in Table 2 above, the comparison data of the partial saturation temperature and absolute pressure of isobutane R600a refrigerant at 0 degrees Celsius to 90 degrees Celsius is shown.
[0120] Wherein, the absolute pressure (MPa) -0.1 MPa (atmospheric pressure) = gauge pressure (MPa).
[0121] When using different refrigerants, only the corresponding saturation temperature and pressure comparison relationship needs to be adopted.
[0122] It should be noted that since errors cannot be avoided, the pressure of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor is equal to the target pressure, which can be understood as the pressure of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor is close to the target pressure. Specifically, the error value can be ±0.01 MPa, etc.

[0124] Figure 5 A flowchart of a control method of a heat exchange system provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown.
[0125] As Figure 5 shown, the flowchart of the control method of the heat exchange system provided by an embodiment of the present application is as follows:
[0126] Step 502: In response to the defrosting instruction, the controller controls the heat exchange system to enter the defrosting mode when the heat exchange system is running.
[0127] Step 504: According to the indoor environment temperature detected by the second temperature sensor, the controller controls the compressor to adjust the operating frequency to adjust the saturation temperature of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor, so that the saturation temperature of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor is equal to the indoor environment temperature.
[0128] Step 506: The controller calculates the difference between the indoor environment temperature and the preset temperature difference, and determines the difference as the target temperature, wherein the target temperature is lower than the indoor environment temperature.
[0129] Step 508: The controller controls the expansion valve to adjust the opening degree, so that the temperature of the refrigerant passing through the expansion valve is equal to the target temperature.
[0130] Step 510: After the controller detects that the operation of the defrosting mode has met the first condition, the controller controls the heat exchange system to exit the defrosting mode.
[0131] In this embodiment, the control method of the heat exchange system is applied to the heat exchange system, specifically, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The heat exchange system comprises a compressor, an exhaust pipe, a condenser, a supercooling pipe, an expansion valve, an evaporator, a return pipe, a pressure sensor and a first temperature sensor, wherein the pressure sensor is arranged on the exhaust pipe, so that the pressure sensor can detect the pressure of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor, the expansion valve is arranged on the supercooling pipe, and the first temperature sensor is arranged on the supercooling pipe and located between the expansion valve and the evaporator, so that the first temperature sensor can detect the temperature of the refrigerant expanded by the expansion valve.
[0132] Moreover, the compressor, the exhaust pipe, the condenser, the supercooling pipe, the expansion valve, the evaporator and the return pipe can form a heat exchange flow path, and the refrigerant can flow in the heat exchange flow path.
[0133] Moreover, the heat exchange system further comprises a second temperature sensor, which is electrically connected with the controller and used to detect the indoor environment temperature.
[0134] Specifically, when the heat exchange system is running, such as triggering the defrosting condition, issuing the defrosting instruction, or receiving the defrosting instruction issued by the user, the controller controls the heat exchange system to run in the defrosting mode in response to the defrosting instruction.
[0135] In the defrosting mode, the controller adjusts the frequency of the compressor according to the detection result of the second temperature sensor, so that the temperature of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor is equal to the indoor environment temperature, specifically, the compressor can compress the low-temperature and low-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant into high-temperature and high-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant, and the saturation temperature of the high-temperature and high-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant is the same as the indoor environment temperature.
[0136] After that, the high-temperature and high-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser, at this time, the temperature of the high-temperature and high-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant is the same as the indoor environment temperature, so that the refrigerant does not change phase and does not exchange heat.
[0137] After that, the refrigerant flows out of the condenser in a saturated gaseous state and enters the subcooling pipe, the controller subtracts the indoor environment temperature from the preset temperature difference to obtain a target temperature, wherein the preset temperature difference is positive, and controls the opening degree of the expansion valve, so that the temperature of the refrigerant after expansion through the expansion valve is equal to the target temperature, and gaseous saturated refrigerant is formed. After entering the evaporator, the gaseous saturated refrigerant condenses and releases heat in the evaporator, thereby achieving the defrosting effect.
[0138] After that, the saturated subcooled liquid refrigerant flows out of the evaporator and enters the gas return pipe, and absorbs heat from the indoor environment and the subcooling pipe, and evaporates into superheated gaseous refrigerant.
[0139] After that, the superheated gaseous refrigerant enters the compressor for compression to repeat the above process, thereby achieving a continuous defrosting effect.
[0140] And after the heat exchange system operates in the defrosting mode to meet the first condition, the control of the heat exchange system in the defrosting mode is exited.
[0141] The above defrosting method does not need to circulate the refrigerant in reverse, and cancels the electric heating element, thereby reducing the power consumption of the defrosting process. Since the evaporator still operates in the refrigeration mode during the defrosting process, the temperature rise of the evaporator can be effectively controlled, the temperature difference between the evaporator and the original refrigeration temperature is reduced, and the refrigeration effect is improved. For a refrigerator, the influence on the temperature of the compartment can be reduced, and the preservation effect of food can be improved.
[0142] It should be noted that since errors cannot be avoided, the temperature of the refrigerant passing through the expansion valve and the target temperature are equal, which can be understood as the temperature of the refrigerant passing through the expansion valve and the target temperature being similar. Specifically, the error value can be ±1℃, etc.
[0143] Embodiment 4:
[0144] Figure 6 Fig. 4 shows a flowchart of a control method of a heat exchange system according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0145] As Figure 6As shown, the flowchart of the control method of the heat exchange system provided by one embodiment of the present application is specifically as follows:
[0146] Step 602: When the heat exchange system is running, the controller controls the heat exchange system to enter the defrosting mode in response to the defrosting instruction.
[0147] Step 604: The controller acquires the detection result of the indoor environment temperature by the second temperature sensor, and calculates the target pressure of the refrigerant when the saturation temperature of the refrigerant is equal to the indoor environment temperature.
[0148] Step 606: The controller adjusts the frequency of the compressor according to the target pressure, so that the pressure of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor is equal to the target pressure.
[0149] Step 608: The controller calculates the difference between the indoor environment temperature and the preset temperature difference, and determines the difference as the target temperature, wherein the target temperature is lower than the indoor environment temperature.
[0150] Step 610: The controller controls the expansion valve to adjust the opening degree, so that the temperature of the refrigerant passing through the expansion valve is equal to the target temperature.
[0151] Step 612: After the controller detects that the running of the defrosting mode has met the first condition, the heat exchange system exits the defrosting mode.
[0152] In this embodiment, the control method of the heat exchange system is applied to the heat exchange system, specifically, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 the heat exchange system comprises a compressor, an exhaust pipe, a condenser, a supercooling pipe, an expansion valve, an evaporator, a return pipe, a pressure sensor and a first temperature sensor, wherein the pressure sensor is arranged on the exhaust pipe, so that the pressure sensor can detect the pressure of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor, the expansion valve is arranged on the supercooling pipe, and the first temperature sensor is arranged on the supercooling pipe and located between the expansion valve and the evaporator, so that the first temperature sensor can detect the temperature of the refrigerant expanded by the expansion valve.
[0153] Moreover, the compressor, the exhaust pipe, the condenser, the supercooling pipe, the expansion valve, the evaporator and the return pipe can form a heat exchange flow path, and the refrigerant can flow in the heat exchange flow path for heat exchange.
[0154] Moreover, the heat exchange system further comprises a second temperature sensor, which is electrically connected with the controller and used for detecting the indoor environment temperature.
[0155] Specifically, when the heat exchange system is running, such as triggering the defrosting condition, issuing the defrosting instruction, or receiving the defrosting instruction issued by the user, the controller controls the heat exchange system to run in the defrosting mode in response to the defrosting instruction.
[0156] In the defrosting mode, the controller adjusts the frequency of the compressor according to the detection result of the second temperature sensor, so that the temperature of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor is equal to the indoor environment temperature, specifically, the compressor can compress the low-temperature and low-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant into high-temperature and high-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant, and the saturation temperature of the high-temperature and high-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant is the same as the indoor environment temperature.
[0157] After that, the high-temperature and high-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser, at this time, the temperature of the high-temperature and high-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant is the same as the indoor environment temperature, so the refrigerant does not change phase and does not exchange heat.
[0158] After that, the refrigerant flows out of the condenser in a saturated gaseous state and enters the subcooling pipe, the controller subtracts the indoor environment temperature from the preset temperature difference to obtain a target temperature, wherein the preset temperature difference is positive, and controls the opening degree of the expansion valve so that the temperature of the refrigerant after expansion through the expansion valve is equal to the target temperature, and forms gaseous saturated refrigerant. The gaseous saturated refrigerant releases heat after entering the evaporator, thereby achieving the defrosting effect.
[0159] After that, the saturated subcooled liquid refrigerant flows out of the evaporator and enters the gas return pipe, and absorbs heat from the indoor environment and the subcooling pipe, and evaporates into superheated gaseous refrigerant.
[0160] After that, the superheated gaseous refrigerant enters the compressor for compression to repeat the above process, thereby achieving a continuous defrosting effect.
[0161] And after the heat exchange system runs in the defrosting mode to meet the first condition, the control of the heat exchange system defrosting mode is exited.
[0162] The above defrosting method does not need to circulate the refrigerant in reverse, and cancels the electric heating element, thereby reducing the power consumption of the defrosting process. Since the evaporator is still in refrigeration mode during the defrosting process, the temperature rise of the evaporator can be effectively controlled, the temperature difference between the evaporator and the original refrigeration temperature is reduced, and the refrigeration effect is improved. For a refrigerator, the influence on the temperature of the compartment can be reduced, and the preservation effect of food can be improved.

[0170] Specifically, the preset temperature difference can be 1℃, 2℃, 3℃, 4℃, 5℃, 6℃, 7℃, 8℃, 9℃ or 10℃, etc.

[0179] In this embodiment, after the inlet pipe of the evaporator is frosted, its temperature is usually below zero, and then when the temperature reaches above 0℃, defrosting can be realized. If the preset temperature is too high, it will affect the heat exchange effect. Therefore, setting the range of 0℃ to 10℃ can ensure the defrosting effect while reducing the impact on the heat exchange effect.
