[0069] In order to make the purpose, implementation mode and advantages of the present application clearer, the exemplary implementation mode of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the exemplary embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described exemplary embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0070] It should be noted that the brief description of terms in this application is only for the convenience of understanding the embodiments described below, and is not intended to limit the embodiments of this application. Unless otherwise specified, these terms should be understood according to their common and usual meanings.

[0071] In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover but not exclude inclusion, for example, a product or device comprising a list of components is not necessarily limited to those components expressly listed but may include other components not expressly listed or inherent to such products or devices.

[0072] As the utilization rate of fans increases, in order to better control the fans, refrigerators are usually equipped with corresponding fan feedback circuits, which can be used to feedback the operating status of the fans, such as the actual speed of the fans. If the actual speed is lower than the ideal speed, the speed of the fan can be controlled to increase to meet the refrigeration needs of the refrigerator.

[0073] Since different types of refrigerators use fans of different specifications and models, and different specifications and models of fans result in different resistances required in the fan feedback circuit and related circuits in the main control board connected to the fan feedback circuit, manual matching is required based on the specifications and models of the fan, resulting in low development efficiency.

[0074] At present, the structures of fan feedback circuits are roughly the same, but there are different differences, such as different pull-up resistors or output resistors. Figure 1 The structural diagram of an existing fan feedback circuit is shown as an example in this application. Figure 1 As shown, for fans of different specifications or models, the resistance R1 and resistance R2 of the fan feedback circuit are different, and one or more of the resistances R3, R4 and R5 on the main control board also have differences, among which the main difference is R3, so it is necessary to manually match them according to the specifications and models of the fan, which makes the development efficiency low.

[0075] Therefore, the present application provides a refrigerator in which a main controller controls multiple alternative resistors to be connected to a main control board in sequence to determine a resistor that matches the fan, thereby automatically matching a resistor suitable for the current fan. This eliminates the need for manual resistor matching during development, thereby improving development efficiency.

[0076] In the embodiment of the present application, the plurality of candidate resistors may include a plurality of first candidate resistors and a plurality of second candidate resistors.

[0077] The technical solution of the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other or exist independently. The same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0078] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a refrigerator provided in this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the refrigerator includes a cabinet 101, a storage chamber 102 arranged in the cabinet 101, a refrigeration system 103 arranged in the cabinet 101, a fan feedback circuit 104 connected to the fan 31 in the refrigeration system 103, and a main control board 105.

[0079] Among them, the refrigeration system 103 includes a compressor 32, an evaporator 33 and a fan 31. The compressor 32 is used to provide power for the refrigeration cycle of the refrigerator 10, and the fan 31 is used to allow air to enter the evaporator 33 of the refrigerator 10 for heat exchange and send the heat-released air into the storage chamber 102.

[0080] The fan feedback circuit 104 is configured to detect the operating state of the fan 31. For example, the operating state may be the actual rotation speed of the fan 31. Specifically, the fan feedback circuit 104 may send a corresponding signal to the main controller to indicate the operating state.

[0081] The main control board 105 includes a signal processing circuit 51 and a main controller 52 , wherein the signal processing circuit 51 is connected to the fan feedback circuit 104 , and the main controller 52 is connected to the signal processing circuit 51 and the fan 31 , respectively.

[0082] The main controller 52 is configured to send a control signal to the signal processing circuit 51, and the signal processing circuit 51 is configured to determine the first resistor of the fan feedback circuit 104 and the second resistor connected to the signal processing circuit 51 based on the received control signal, so that the fan feedback circuit 104 can feedback the operating status of the fan 31 to the main controller 52 through the signal processing circuit 51.

[0083] For example, Figure 1 For example, the fan feedback circuit 104, the first resistor corresponds to Figure 1 R2 in the second resistor corresponds to Figure 1 In R3 , the main controller 52 can automatically match the first resistor and the second resistor of the appropriate fan 31 by controlling the signal processing circuit 51 .

[0084] Exemplarily, the main controller 52 may be a microcontroller unit (MCU).

[0085] In this embodiment, the refrigerator includes a box body 101 provided with a storage chamber 102, a refrigeration system 103 arranged in the box body, a fan feedback circuit 104 and a main control board 105, wherein the main control board 105 includes a signal processing circuit 51 and a main controller 52, the main controller 52 is configured to send a control signal to the signal processing circuit 51, and the signal processing circuit 51 is configured to determine the first resistance of the fan feedback circuit 104 and the second resistance connected to the signal processing circuit 51 according to the received control signal, so as to automatically match the resistance suitable for the current fan 31, so that the fan feedback circuit 104 can feedback the operating status of the fan 31 to the main controller 52 through the signal processing circuit 51, and there is no need to manually perform resistance matching during development, thereby improving development efficiency.

[0086] Next, how the main controller 52 matches the first resistor of the fan feedback circuit 104 is described.

[0087] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of a fan feedback circuit 104 and a main control board 105 provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the signal processing circuit 51 includes a first analog switch and a first multiplexer.

[0088] The first analog switch is connected to the fan feedback circuit 104 via a first connecting line, and the first multiplexer is connected to the first connecting line.

[0089] For example, Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a first multiplexer according to an example of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the first multiplexer includes multiple first candidate resistors and switches corresponding to each first candidate resistor. For any switch, the switch is used to control whether the corresponding first candidate resistor is connected to the signal processing circuit 51, wherein the resistance values ​​of the multiple first candidate resistors are different.

[0090] Exemplarily, multiple first alternative resistors can be, for example, resistors R8, R9, ..., R15, and the resistance values ​​of resistors R8, R9, ..., R15 can be 100R (ohm), 220R, 330R, 470R, 680K (kiloohm), 1K, 2K, etc., respectively. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0091] The control signal sent by the main controller 52 may include a first signal, a second signal and a third signal. Specifically, the main controller 52 is configured as follows:

[0092] When the main control board 105 is initially powered on, a first signal is sent to the first analog switch, and the first signal is used to control the first analog switch to be disconnected, so as to disconnect the fan feedback circuit 104 and the signal processing circuit 51. In other words, by controlling the first analog switch to be disconnected, the fan feedback circuit 104 can feed back the operating status of the fan 31 to the main controller 52 through the first multiplexer.

[0093] A second signal is sent to the fan 31 , where the second signal is used to instruct to start the fan 31 .

[0094] A third signal is sent to the first multiplexer, the third signal being used to instruct to sequentially connect the plurality of first candidate resistors to the circuit processing circuit 51, and when the currently connected first candidate resistor is connected, a first feedback signal is sent to the main controller 52. It can be understood that the first feedback signal is sent by the fan feedback circuit 104 to the first multiplexer when the currently connected first candidate resistor is connected because the first analog switch is disconnected.

[0095] A first resistor is determined according to the first feedback signal.

[0096] It can be understood that in order for the fan feedback circuit 104 to send the first feedback signal, when the main controller 52 sends the second signal to control the fan 31 to turn on, the circuit of the fan feedback circuit 104 also needs to be in the on state, that is, when the fan 31 is turned on, the fan feedback circuit 104 is also in the on state, so as to realize the monitoring of the operating status of the fan 31.

[0097] In a possible implementation, the main controller 52 can determine the first resistor according to the signal voltage value of the first feedback signal. For example, if the difference between the signal voltage value and the target voltage is less than a preset threshold, it means that the signal voltage value is relatively close to the target voltage, and the resistance value of the first candidate resistor corresponding to the first feedback signal can be determined as the resistance value of the first resistor. The main controller 52 can then close the first multiplexer.

[0098] In this embodiment, the main controller 52 determines the resistance value of the first resistor of the fan feedback circuit 104 by controlling an analog switch and a multiplexer.

[0099] Next, how the main controller 52 matches the second resistor of the signal processing circuit 51 is described.

[0100] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of a fan feedback circuit 104 and a main control board 105 provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 5As shown, the signal processing circuit 51 also includes a second analog switch and a second multiplexer. The second analog switch is connected to the first analog switch via a second connecting line, and the second multiplexer is connected to the second connecting line. The second multiplexer includes multiple second alternative resistors and a switch corresponding to each second alternative resistor. For any switch, the switch is used to control whether the corresponding second alternative resistor is connected to the signal processing circuit 51, wherein the resistance values ​​of the multiple second alternative resistors are different.

[0101] For example, the specific structure of the second multiplexer can refer to Figure 4 , multiple second alternative resistors can be, for example, resistors R16, R17, ..., R23, and the resistance values ​​of resistors R16, R17, ..., R23 can be 1K, 3.3k, 4.7k, 10K, 22K, 33K, 47K, 100K, etc., respectively, and this application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0102] The control signal sent by the main controller 52 may also include a fourth signal, a fifth signal and a sixth signal. Specifically, the main controller 52 is configured as follows:

[0103] A fourth signal is sent to the first analog switch, and the fourth signal is used to control the first analog switch to be turned on, so that the fan feedback circuit 104 and the signal processing circuit 51 are turned on.

[0104] A fifth signal is sent to the second analog switch, and the fifth signal is used to control the second analog switch to be disconnected, so as to disconnect the fan feedback circuit 104 and the signal processing circuit 51. That is, by controlling the second analog switch to be disconnected, the fan feedback circuit 104 can feed back the operating status of the fan 31 to the main controller 52 through the second multiplexer.

[0105] A sixth signal is sent to the second multiplexer, the sixth signal being used to instruct to sequentially connect the plurality of second candidate resistors to the signal processing circuit 51, and a second feedback signal is sent to the main controller when the currently connected second candidate resistor is connected. It can be understood that the second feedback signal is sent by the fan feedback circuit 104 to the second multiplexer when the currently connected second candidate resistor is connected and the second analog switch is disconnected.

[0106] The second resistance is determined according to the second feedback signal.

[0107] It can be understood that in order for the fan feedback circuit 104 to send the second feedback signal, the fan 31 is in the on state and the fan feedback circuit 104 is also in the on state to monitor the operating state of the fan 31 .

[0108] In this embodiment, after determining the first resistor of the fan feedback circuit 104, the main controller 52 determines the resistance value of the second resistor required by the signal processing circuit 51 by controlling an analog switch and a multiplexer. At this time, the second resistor can be combined with the first resistor to effectively open the first switch in the signal processing circuit 51, so that the fan feedback circuit 104 can feedback the operating status of the fan 31 to the main controller 52 through the signal processing circuit 51.

[0109] In a possible implementation, the main controller 52 may determine whether the currently connected second candidate resistor is the second resistor according to the signal voltage value of the second feedback signal, specifically:

[0110] The main controller 52 may determine the signal voltage value of the second feedback signal, and then determine whether the currently connected second candidate resistor is the second resistor according to the signal voltage value and the target voltage.

[0111] In a possible implementation, the main controller 52 may determine whether the currently connected second candidate resistor is the second resistor according to the following method:

[0112] The main controller 52 can determine the first difference between the signal voltage value and the target voltage, and then determine whether the first difference is less than a preset threshold value. If so, it is determined that the currently connected second alternative resistor is the second resistor. If not, the main controller 52 can control the second multiplexer to continue to connect the next second alternative resistor.

[0113] Exemplarily, the preset threshold may be a smaller value, such as 1V or 0.5V. When the first difference is less than the preset threshold, it indicates that the signal voltage value of the second feedback signal is close to the target voltage, and the resistor may be determined to be the second resistor.

[0114] In a possible implementation, the target voltage may be a voltage value corresponding to a preset ratio of the input voltage of the main control board 105 . For example, the preset ratio may be 50%.

[0115] After the main controller 52 determines the second resistor, it can control the signal processing circuit 51 in the following manner to connect the second resistor to the signal processing circuit 51:

[0116] The main controller 52 sends a seventh signal to the first analog switch and the second analog switch, and the seventh signal is used to control the first analog switch and the second analog switch to be turned on, so that the fan feedback circuit 104 is connected to the signal processing circuit 51. That is, when the first analog switch and the second analog switch are turned on, the fan feedback circuit 104 can feedback the operating status of the fan 31 to the main controller 52 through the signal processing circuit 51.

[0117] The main controller 52 sends an eighth signal to the second multiplexer, and the eighth signal is used to control the second multiplexer to be turned on, and to turn on the path where the currently connected second candidate resistor is located, so that the currently connected second candidate resistor is connected to the signal processing circuit 51. In other words, when the main controller 52 determines that the currently connected second candidate resistor can be used as the second resistor, it can control the second multiplexer to be turned on, and turn on the path where the currently connected second candidate resistor is located, so that the resistor is used as the second resistor of the signal processing circuit 51.

[0118] Next, the specific circuit structure of the signal processing circuit 51 will be described.

[0119] Figure 6 A circuit structure diagram of a signal processing circuit 51 provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the signal processing circuit 51 further includes a third resistor, a fourth resistor, a first switch, a fifth resistor, a sixth resistor and a first capacitor.

[0120] The first end of the first capacitor is connected to the second connecting line.

[0121] The first end of the third resistor is connected to the second analog switch, the second end of the third resistor is connected to the first switch through the third connecting line, the first end of the fourth resistor is connected to the third connecting line, the second end of the fourth resistor is connected to the first switch through the fourth connecting line, and the second end of the first capacitor is connected to the fourth connecting line.

[0122] The fifth resistor is connected to the first switch via a fifth connection line, a first end of the sixth resistor is connected to the fifth connection line, and a second end of the sixth resistor is connected to the main controller 52 .

[0123] exist Figure 6 In the embodiment, R4 is a third resistor, R5 is a fourth resistor, R6 is a fifth resistor, R7 is a sixth resistor, Q2 is a first switch, and illustratively, the first switch may be a transistor. Figure 5 The first switch in the example is a triode. 1 represents the first end, and 2 represents the second end.
