[0031] The term "and / or" is a description of the association relationship between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or, A and B.
[0032] The term "correspondence" may refer to an association relationship or a binding relationship. The correspondence between A and B means that there is an association relationship or a binding relationship between A and B.
[0033] Combination Figure 1 The refrigeration device includes an evaporator 10 and an electric heating device 20. The evaporator and the electric heating device are separated into multiple heat exchange parts by a partition 30. Each evaporator corresponds to a refrigeration compartment or a freezing compartment, and each evaporator is equipped with a fan 40, which is used to drive the air flow to flow through the corresponding evaporator and then flow into the connected compartments.
[0034] Here, the evaporator 10 includes a heat exchange tube 12 and a heat exchange fin 11, and a plurality of heat exchange fins 11 are arranged side by side, and the heat exchange tube 12 runs through the plurality of heat exchange fins 11. The partition 30 is located between two adjacent heat exchange fins 11, and is used to separate the evaporator 20 into a plurality of heat exchange parts and the refrigerant flows between the plurality of heat exchange parts. The partition 30 is located between adjacent heat exchange fins 11, so that the partition 30 can utilize the gap between the heat exchange fins 11 to install the partition 30, which can improve the separation effect of the partition 30. The evaporator 10 of the embodiment of the present disclosure can separate one evaporator 10 into a plurality of heat exchange parts through the partition 30, so that the plurality of heat exchange parts can correspond to different compartments, which can avoid the odor of different compartments, and there is no need to set up a plurality of evaporators 10, which reduces the complexity of the structure, reduces the cost, and improves the convenience of production and installation.
[0035] The electric heating device 20 is located on one side of the evaporator 10 and is used to defrost the evaporator 10. The partition 50, corresponding to the partition 30, is used to divide the electric heating device 20 into a plurality of heating parts, the number of which is the same as the number of heat exchange parts and corresponds one to one. In order to prevent the cold or odor of the plurality of heat exchange parts from spreading through the position of the electric heating device 20. The partition 31 is provided on the electric heating device 20, so that the cold or odor of the plurality of heat exchange parts is prevented from spreading from the electric heating device 20, thereby improving the separation effect between the plurality of heat exchange parts.
[0036] Optionally, the ratio of the area of any one heat exchange portion to the area of the heat exchanger is greater than or equal to 1 / 6 and less than 1.
[0037] If the ratio of the area of the heat exchange part to the area of the entire heat exchanger is less than 1 / 6, the heat exchanger cavity where the heat exchange part is located is small, the airflow resistance is large, and it is not convenient to match and install the fan, which affects the air outlet and return of the heat exchanger cavity. Therefore, the minimum area of the heat exchange part should be greater than or equal to 1 / 6 of the heat exchanger area. In this way, the heat exchange part can retain the minimum size to facilitate the installation of the fan and the smooth flow of the airflow in the heat exchanger cavity.
[0038] For example, the ratio of the area of one heat exchange portion to the area of the heat exchanger may be 1 / 6, 1 / 5, 2 / 5, 1 / 4, 1 / 3, 1 / 2 or 2 / 3, etc. In practical applications, the number of heat exchange portions and the area of each heat exchange portion may be set according to the number and size of the compartments.
[0039] Combination Figure 2 Optionally, the fan 40 is located in the heat exchanger cavity. When the heat exchanger includes the first heat exchange part 10a and the second heat exchange part 10b, the fan 40 includes a first fan 41 and a second fan 42. A fan partition 60 is provided between the two fans. The fan partition 60 abuts against the partition member 30 and is used to cooperate with the partition member to partition the space where the two adjacent heat exchange parts are located.
[0040] Here, the fan partition 60, the partition 30 and the partition 50 divide the heat exchanger cavity into a first chamber and a second chamber, the first fan 41 and the first heat exchange part 10a are located in the first chamber, the second fan 42 and the second heat exchange part 10b are located in the second chamber, and the first chamber and the second chamber are completely isolated by the fan partition 60, the partition and the partition, so that the first fan 41 and the first heat exchange part 10a are used to cool the corresponding chambers, and the second fan 42 and the second heat exchange part 10b are used to cool the corresponding chambers, so that the cooling of the two chambers is completely independently controlled.
[0041] As an example, the refrigeration device includes a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment, the first fan 41 and the first heat exchange part 10a are used to cool the refrigerating compartment; the second fan 42 and the second heat exchange part 10b are used to cool the freezing compartment.
[0042] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method for defrosting a refrigeration device, comprising:
[0043] S101, when the compressor of the refrigeration equipment is in a standby state, the processor obtains frost layer information of the evaporator and the temperature of the refrigerated compartment.
[0044] S102, the processor controls the status of each fan according to the frost layer information and the temperature of the refrigerated compartment to defrost the evaporator.
[0045] Here, the compressor of the refrigeration equipment is in standby state, indicating that the temperature of each compartment meets the set conditions. At this time, the compressor suspends refrigeration, and each compartment is in a heat preservation state. It can be understood that during the refrigeration period of the compressor, the temperature of each heat exchange part of the evaporator is basically the same, and the demand for cold capacity in the refrigerated compartment is less than that in the frozen compartment. Therefore, during the refrigeration stage, the fan of the refrigerated compartment stops running first, but because the humidity in the refrigerated compartment is greater than that in the frozen compartment, the evaporator part corresponding to the refrigerated compartment (i.e., the refrigerated heat exchange part) is prone to frost first and the frost layer will be relatively thick. Therefore, the frost layer in the refrigerated compartment affects the frosting cycle and defrosting time of the entire machine.
[0046] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the compressor is in the standby state, it is determined whether the evaporator needs to be defrosted. Specifically, the frost layer information of the evaporator and the temperature of the cold storage compartment are obtained. The frost layer information of the evaporator can be obtained by detecting the temperature sensor. The thicker the frost layer, the lower the temperature detected by the temperature sensor. Alternatively, the frost layer information can be obtained by image acquisition and processing. If the frost layer information indicates that the frost layer thickness reaches a preset thickness, or the evaporator temperature is lower than a preset temperature, defrosting can be started. Because the temperature of the cold storage compartment is relatively high, the high temperature of the cold storage compartment is used to melt the frost layer on the cold storage heat exchange part corresponding to the cold storage compartment. That is, the fan of the cold storage compartment is controlled to start to defrost. And when the temperature of the cold storage compartment is used for defrosting, the temperature of the freezing compartment is less affected. Among them, although the evaporator is isolated into multiple heat exchange parts, the frost layer on the part of the evaporator (i.e., the freezing heat exchange part) corresponding to the freezing compartment will also be partially or completely melted under the action of heat conduction.
[0047] After the refrigeration fan starts to defrost, in order to avoid large temperature fluctuations in the various compartments of the refrigeration equipment, especially the temperature fluctuations in the refrigeration compartment, it is necessary to control the state of the fan corresponding to the refrigeration compartment based on the temperature of the refrigeration compartment. For example, when the temperature increase of the refrigeration compartment is greater than the preset range, the fan corresponding to the refrigeration compartment is controlled to be turned off. In addition, it should be noted that when the fan corresponding to the refrigeration compartment starts to defrost, the fan corresponding to the freezer compartment is in the off state. This prevents the low temperature of the freezer compartment from affecting the defrosting of the evaporator.
[0048] By using the control method for defrosting refrigeration equipment provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the evaporator and the electric heating device are isolated into multiple parts, each of which corresponds to a compartment and is equipped with a corresponding fan. When the refrigeration compressor of the refrigeration equipment is on standby, it can be determined whether defrosting is required based on the frost layer information of the evaporator. If defrosting is required, the status of each fan can be controlled based on the temperature of the refrigerated compartment. The relatively high temperature in the refrigerated compartment can be used to melt the frost on the refrigerated side of the evaporator and part of the frost on the frozen side. In this way, the frosting cycle is extended and the defrosting time of the entire machine is shortened, which helps to further reduce energy consumption.
[0049] Optionally, in step S102, the processor controls the state of each fan according to the frost layer information and the temperature of the refrigerated compartment to defrost the evaporator, including:
[0050] S121, when the frost layer information meets the defrosting conditions, the processor controls the fan corresponding to the refrigerated compartment to start.
[0051] S122, the processor determines the time to turn off the fan corresponding to the refrigerating compartment according to the temperature of the refrigerating compartment, and executes it.
[0052] Here, when the frost layer information of the evaporator meets the defrosting condition, the fan corresponding to the refrigerated compartment is controlled to start so as to utilize the relatively high temperature of the refrigerated compartment to melt the corresponding frost layer. During the defrosting process, although the compressor is in a standby state, the evaporator temperature is relatively low (on the one hand, the existence of the frost layer makes the evaporator temperature relatively low, and on the other hand, the evaporator provides coldness for the freezing compartment, making the evaporator temperature relatively low), so the refrigerated compartment fluctuates less in the early and middle stages of defrosting. In order to avoid the defrosting process causing large fluctuations in the temperature of the refrigerated compartment, the shutdown timing of the fan corresponding to the refrigerated compartment is determined based on the temperature of the refrigerated compartment, and the fan corresponding to the refrigerated compartment is controlled to be shut down when the shutdown timing arrives. In this way, the high temperature of the refrigerated compartment can be utilized for defrosting, and the temperature of the refrigerated compartment can be prevented from fluctuating greatly due to the long defrosting time. Among them, the defrosting conditions include the thickness of the frost layer reaching a preset thickness, or the evaporator temperature being lower than a preset temperature.
[0053] Optionally, in step S122, the processor determines the timing of shutting down the fan corresponding to the refrigerating compartment according to the temperature of the refrigerating compartment, including:
[0054] When the fan corresponding to the refrigerating compartment runs for a first time period and the temperature change of the refrigerating compartment is greater than a first temperature, the processor determines that the fan corresponding to the refrigerating compartment is turned off.
[0055] When the temperature change of the refrigerating compartment is greater than the second temperature, the processor determines that the fan corresponding to the refrigerating compartment is turned off.
[0056] Here, there are two situations when the fan corresponding to the cold storage room (hereinafter referred to as the cold storage fan) is turned off. In the first situation, the cold storage fan is turned on for defrosting, but the frost layer cannot be effectively melted, such as when the frost is severe. In the second situation, the cold storage fan is running and can effectively melt the frost layer; but the temperature of the cold storage room gradually rises due to the gradual increase in the temperature of the compressor standby evaporator. In both of the above situations, the fan corresponding to the cold storage room needs to be controlled to be turned off.
[0057] Specifically, when the refrigeration fan operation time is greater than the first time period, and the temperature change of the refrigeration compartment is greater than the first temperature, it indicates that the temperature of the refrigeration compartment has not dropped after the refrigeration fan is turned on at the beginning of operation. This reflects that the refrigeration heat exchange part corresponding to the refrigeration compartment is severely frosted, and the refrigeration fan cannot effectively defrost by using the relatively high temperature of the refrigeration compartment when it is started. At this time, the refrigeration fan is controlled to be turned off. Among them, the first time period can be 10 minutes to 15 minutes, and the temperature change of the refrigeration compartment = the temperature at the current moment - the temperature when the fan is started. The first temperature can be -1°C, that is, at the beginning of the refrigeration fan startup, the temperature change of the refrigeration compartment should be a negative value, so the first temperature is a negative value.
[0058] After the refrigeration fan starts to defrost, as the refrigeration fan continues to run, the temperature of the refrigeration heat exchange part of the corresponding refrigerated room gradually increases (on the one hand, the residual cold of the compressor standby evaporator gradually dissipates, and on the other hand, the high temperature of the refrigerated room and the heat exchange also increase the evaporator temperature). This causes the temperature of the refrigerated room to begin to rise. When the temperature change of the refrigerated room is greater than or equal to the second temperature, it indicates that the temperature of the refrigerated room has risen significantly. In order to avoid large temperature fluctuations in the refrigerated room, the refrigeration fan is controlled to be turned off at this time to end the defrosting of this stage. Among them, the value range of the second temperature is 2°C to 3°C, such as 2°C. The temperature change of the refrigerated room is as mentioned above.
[0059] In this way, after the refrigeration fan starts to defrost, the state of the refrigeration fan can be controlled based on the temperature change of the refrigeration compartment to effectively defrost and ensure the temperature range of the refrigeration compartment. This defrosting method has low energy consumption and can extend the frosting cycle.
[0060] Combination Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another control method for defrosting refrigeration equipment, including:
[0061] S101, when the compressor of the refrigeration equipment is in a standby state, the processor obtains frost layer information of the evaporator and the temperature of the refrigerated compartment.
[0062] S102, the processor controls the status of each fan according to the frost layer information and the temperature of the refrigerated compartment to defrost the evaporator.
[0063] S203, the processor controls the state of the electric heating device according to the temperature of the evaporator.
[0064] Here, the high temperature of the refrigeration compartment is used to defrost only the refrigeration heat exchange part of the evaporator. Although the refrigeration heat exchange part corresponding to the freezing compartment can be partially defrosted through heat conduction, the amount of defrosting is small. If the frost layer corresponding to the freezing compartment still meets the defrosting conditions, the electric heating device is controlled to start and defrost it. If the defrosting conditions are not met, the electric heating device is kept in the off state. In this way, it helps to reduce the overall defrosting time of the evaporator, that is, the use time of the electric heating device is shorter.
[0065] In addition, when the electric heating device is turned on, in order to avoid large fluctuations in the temperature of each compartment, each fan is controlled to remain in a closed state, thereby preventing the high temperature of the chamber where the evaporator is located from flowing into each compartment.
[0066] Optionally, in step S203, the processor controls the state of the electric heating device according to the temperature of the evaporator, including:
[0067] When the evaporator temperature is lower than the third temperature, the processor controls the electric heating device to turn on; and controls each fan to be in an off state.
[0068] Here, after the refrigeration heat exchange part corresponding to the refrigeration compartment is defrosted, if the evaporator temperature is still low, that is, the evaporator temperature is less than the third temperature, it indicates that the refrigeration heat exchange part corresponding to the freezing compartment still needs to be defrosted. At this time, the electric heating device is controlled to be turned on. Although the electric heating device is isolated into multiple parts, the electric heating devices of each part generate heat when turned on. If the fan is turned on at this time, the heat generated by the electric heating device will be blown into each compartment, causing the compartment temperature to fluctuate greatly. Therefore, when the electric heating device is turned on, each fan is in a closed state. In this way, the defrosting effect of the entire evaporator is guaranteed.
[0069] In addition, the electric heating device is controlled to be turned off after defrosting is completed. The end of defrosting can still be determined by the temperature of the evaporator. If the evaporator temperature reaches a specified temperature, the specified temperature can be 5°C to 7°C.
[0070] Combination Figure 5 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another control method for defrosting refrigeration equipment, including:
[0071] S101, when the compressor of the refrigeration equipment is in a standby state, the processor obtains frost layer information of the evaporator and the temperature of the refrigerated compartment.
[0072] S121, when the frost layer information meets the defrosting conditions, the processor controls the fan corresponding to the refrigerated compartment to start.
[0073] S122, the processor determines the time to turn off the fan corresponding to the refrigerating compartment according to the temperature of the refrigerating compartment, and executes it.
[0074] S123, when the frost layer information does not meet the defrosting condition, the processor controls the state of the fan corresponding to the refrigerating compartment according to the real-time temperature of the refrigerating compartment and the target refrigerating temperature.
[0075] Here, when the compressor is in standby mode, if the frost layer of the evaporator does not meet the defrosting condition, there is no need to defrost the evaporator. At this time, the residual cooling of the evaporator can be supplied to the refrigerated compartment. Specifically, the state of the fan corresponding to the refrigerated compartment can be controlled based on the real-time temperature of the refrigerated compartment and the target refrigerated temperature. Therefore, when the compressor is in standby mode, the cooling capacity of the refrigerated compartment is met without the need for the operation of the compressor, which helps to reduce the energy consumption of the whole machine.
[0076] Optionally, in step S123, the processor controls the state of the fan corresponding to the refrigerating compartment according to the real-time temperature of the refrigerating compartment and the target refrigerating temperature, including:
[0077] When the difference between the real-time temperature and the target refrigeration temperature is greater than the second temperature, the processor controls the fan corresponding to the refrigeration compartment to turn on.
[0078] When the difference between the real-time temperature and the target refrigeration temperature is less than the fourth temperature, the processor controls the fan corresponding to the refrigeration compartment to be turned off.
[0079] Here, the value range of the second temperature is 2°C to 3°C, such as 2°C. The value range of the fourth temperature is -3°C to -2°C, such as -2°C. If the real-time temperature is greater than the target refrigeration temperature, and the difference between the two is greater than the second temperature, it is necessary to provide cold air to the refrigerated compartment. At this time, the fan corresponding to the refrigerated compartment is controlled to turn on. If the real-time temperature is lower than the target refrigeration temperature, and the difference between the two is lower than the fourth temperature, the temperature of the refrigerated compartment meets the requirements. At this time, the fan corresponding to the refrigerated compartment is controlled to stop and turn off. In this way, when the compressor is on standby, the cold air of the evaporator is used to cool the refrigerated compartment, which helps save energy.
[0080] Combination Figure 6 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another control method for defrosting refrigeration equipment, including:
[0081] S303: When the temperature of the refrigerating compartment meets the first condition, the processor controls the fan corresponding to the refrigerating compartment to turn off.
[0082] S304: When the temperature of the freezing compartment meets the second condition, the processor controls the fan corresponding to the freezing compartment to turn off.
[0083] S101, when the compressor of the refrigeration equipment is in a standby state, the processor obtains frost layer information of the evaporator and the temperature of the refrigerated compartment.
[0084] S102, the processor controls the status of each fan according to the frost layer information and the temperature of the refrigerated compartment to defrost the evaporator.
[0085] Here, when the compressor is working, the fans of the refrigerated compartment and the freezer compartment are both started, respectively refrigerating the refrigerated compartment and the freezer compartment. Since the refrigerated compartment has a low demand for cooling, the temperature of the refrigerated compartment first meets the first condition. At this time, the fan corresponding to the refrigerated compartment is controlled to be turned off. The fan corresponding to the freezer compartment continues to run until the temperature of the freezer compartment meets the second condition, and then the corresponding fan is controlled to be turned off. Then, the compressor enters the standby state. Among them, when the compressor is working, the relative humidity of the refrigerated compartment is relatively high, so the corresponding refrigerated heat exchange part is easy to frost, and the frost layer is thicker than that of the freezer compartment. After the fan corresponding to the refrigerated compartment is turned off, the frost layer no longer continues to increase. However, the compressor continues to run to cool the freezer compartment, so that the evaporator temperature is less than or equal to the temperature of the freezer compartment. Therefore, after the compressor is on standby, the evaporator can use the residual cold to cool the refrigerated compartment. In this way, after the evaporator is divided, each part independently supplies cold to each compartment through the fan, avoiding the smell of each compartment when there is a single evaporator. And each compartment is independently controlled, so that the energy consumption of the whole machine is low.
[0086] The first condition is that the temperature of the refrigerating compartment is lower than the target refrigerating temperature, and the difference between the two is lower than the fourth temperature. The second condition is that the temperature of the freezing compartment is lower than the target freezing temperature, and the difference between the two is lower than the fourth temperature.

Optionally, the device may also include a communication interface 103 and a bus 104.
