[0062] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0063] It should be noted that all actions of acquiring signals, information or data in the present disclosure are carried out in compliance with the relevant data protection laws and policies of the country where the device is located and with the authorization given by the owner of the corresponding device.

[0064] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a control method for a refrigeration device according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included.

[0065] In step S10, when the temperature of the object in the refrigeration device is lower than a preset temperature, the rate of change of the temperature reduction speed of the object is determined.

[0066] The refrigeration device includes a storage space for short-term storage of items, and the refrigeration device is capable of monitoring a refrigeration temperature of the internal storage space, adjusting the refrigeration temperature of the internal storage space, and monitoring the temperature of items located in the storage space.

[0067] The items stored in the refrigeration equipment can be food, medicine, cosmetics, skin care products, liquid metal, etc. Food can be meat, fish, liquid and other foods with freezing points, medicine can be liquid and other medicines with freezing points, cosmetics and skin care products can be lotions, essences and other skin care products with freezing points. The freezing points of different types of items are different. For example, the freezing point of meat is 0.5℃ higher than that of fish. The freezing point refers to the freezing temperature of the item.

[0068] The cooling speed change rate indicates the degree of change of the cooling speed of the items refrigerated in the refrigeration equipment. The higher the cooling speed change rate, the higher the degree of change of the cooling speed of the items in the refrigeration equipment. Conversely, the lower the cooling speed change rate, the lower the degree of change of the cooling speed of the items in the refrigeration equipment.

[0069] See also Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The horizontal axis is time, and the vertical axis is the temperature of the item. For example, if the item is meat, Figure 2 The temperature reduction curve of meat from 25°C to -18°C when the meat is refrigerated in a refrigeration device is shown, which mainly includes the first cooling stage, the second cooling stage and the third cooling stage.

[0070] The first cooling stage is a rapid cooling stage where the meat drops from 25℃ to -1℃. In the first cooling stage, the liquid in the meat has not yet changed to a solid state. Although the temperature of the meat drops faster in the first cooling stage, the rate of change of the cooling speed in the first cooling stage is lower. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in the first cooling stage, the cooling rate of meat decreases steadily, and the derivatives of each point on the cooling curve in the first cooling stage are basically the same, so the cooling rate change rate in the first cooling stage is relatively low. For example, in the first cooling stage, the cooling time corresponding to the meat dropping from 20℃ to 15℃ is T1, and the cooling rate V of the meat dropping from 20℃ to 15℃ is A =(20-15) / T1; and the cooling time corresponding to the meat dropping from 10℃ to 5℃ is also T1, and the cooling speed V of the meat dropping from 10℃ to 5℃ B =(10-5) / T1, cooling rate V A Subtract the cooling rate V B The rate of change of the cooling speed between is equal to 0, so the rate of change of the cooling speed in the first cooling stage is relatively low, and it approaches 0.

[0071] The second cooling stage is when the meat temperature drops from -1°C to -5°C. During the second cooling stage, the liquid in the meat changes from liquid to solid, and the liquid in the meat is converted into ice crystals. The meat temperature tends to remain unchanged during the second cooling stage, and the rate of change of the cooling speed during the second cooling stage also tends to 0.

[0072] The third cooling stage is the stage where the meat temperature drops from -5℃ to -18℃. In the third cooling stage, the liquid in the meat becomes solid. Although the temperature of the meat drops more slowly in the third cooling stage than in the first cooling stage, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the cooling curve in the third cooling stage does not decrease smoothly, but fluctuates up and down during the decreasing process. The derivatives of each point on the cooling curve in the third cooling stage will be different, so the cooling speed change rate in the third cooling stage is relatively large.

[0073] In the above three cooling stages, the temperature corresponding to the start time of the second cooling stage can be the freezing point / freezing temperature of the meat. Figure 2 It can be seen that the change rate of the cooling speed of the object in the first cooling stage and the second cooling stage is relatively small, but the change rate of the cooling speed of the object in the third cooling stage is relatively large.

[0074] The preset temperature is the temperature at which the liquid in the item may change phase into a solid, and is also the critical temperature between the first cooling stage and the second cooling stage. For example, the preset temperature may be 0°C. If the temperature is higher than 0°C, the item is considered to be in the first cooling stage, at which the liquid in the item has not yet changed phase into a solid; if the temperature is lower than 0°C, the item is considered to be in the second cooling stage, at which the liquid in the item may change phase into a solid.

[0075] When the temperature of the items in the refrigeration equipment is lower than the preset temperature, it can be considered that the temperature of the items has gone through the first cooling stage, and then the cooling speed change rate of the items is judged to determine whether the temperature of the items has reached the second cooling stage.

[0076] In step S20, when the temperature drop rate change rate is less than a preset value, the freezing temperature of the object is obtained according to the target temperature drop rate of the object.

[0077] When the temperature of the object drops below the critical preset temperature between the first cooling stage and the second cooling stage, and the rate of change of the cooling speed of the object is less than the preset value, it means that the temperature of the object has gone through the first cooling stage and reached the second cooling stage. At this time, the target cooling speed of the object can be determined, and the freezing temperature of the object in the second cooling stage can be obtained based on the determined target cooling speed of the object.

[0078] The preset value can be any value between 0.3℃ / h and 0.5℃ / h. Taking the preset value of 0.3℃ / h as an example, when the cooling rate of the object is less than 0.3℃ / h, it is considered that the temperature of the object has reached the second cooling stage, and the object may reach the freezing temperature.

[0079] Understandably, see Figure 2 As shown, since the cooling speed change rate in the first cooling stage and the second cooling stage is small, when the cooling speed change rate of the object is less than the preset value, it is impossible to determine whether the object temperature is in the first cooling stage or the second cooling stage. Based on this, the present disclosure also adds an additional judgment condition that the object temperature is less than the preset temperature. When the object temperature is less than the preset temperature (for example, 0°C), it is determined that the object temperature has experienced the first cooling stage, thereby excluding the cooling speed change rate in the first cooling stage; then it is determined whether the cooling speed change rate of the object is less than the preset value. If it is less than the preset value, it is determined that the object temperature has reached the second cooling stage, and the object may reach the freezing temperature in the second cooling stage.

[0080] In addition, when judging whether the temperature of the object has reached the second cooling stage, a solution of comparing the temperature difference at two time points with a preset difference value can also be adopted, and whether the temperature of the object has reached the second cooling stage can be judged according to the temperature difference of the object at two time points. For example, if the temperature difference at two time points is greater than the preset difference value, it is considered that the object is in the first cooling stage or the third cooling stage which is not the second cooling stage; if the temperature difference at two time points is less than the preset difference value, it is considered that the object has reached the second cooling stage, and the object may reach the freezing temperature at this time.

[0081] However, this judgment method may result in judgment errors due to the following reasons: Figure 2 As shown, the temperature difference between any two time points in the first cooling stage is greater than the preset difference, the temperature difference between any two time points in the second cooling stage is less than the preset difference, and the cooling curve in the third cooling stage fluctuates up and down, resulting in the temperature difference between any two time points being greater than or less than the preset difference. It can be seen that when the temperature difference between two time points is less than the preset difference, the temperature of the object may be in the second cooling stage or in the third cooling stage. Since there is no freezing temperature of the object in the third cooling stage, if the target cooling rate in the third cooling stage is used to obtain the freezing temperature of the object, the accuracy of the obtained freezing temperature is low.

[0082] In order to improve the accuracy of the obtained freezing temperature of the object, the present disclosure adopts a scheme of comparing the rate of change of the cooling speed with the preset value, see Figure 2As shown, the cooling curve of the second cooling stage tends to be stable, and its cooling speed change rate is significantly smaller, while the cooling curve of the third cooling stage will fluctuate up and down, and the cooling speed of the third cooling stage varies, making its cooling speed change rate significantly larger. Therefore, when the present disclosure determines that the cooling speed change rate is less than the preset value, it can be determined that the temperature of the object is in the second cooling stage, and when the cooling speed change rate is greater than the preset value, it is determined that the temperature of the object is in the third cooling stage, so the influence of the third cooling stage can be screened out. Since the temperature of the object will reach the freezing temperature in the second cooling stage, using the target cooling speed in the second cooling stage to obtain the freezing temperature of the object will make the obtained freezing temperature of the object more accurate.

[0083] In step S30, the refrigeration temperature in the refrigeration equipment is adjusted to be higher than the freezing temperature.

[0084] After the freezing temperature of the object is obtained, the refrigeration temperature in the refrigeration equipment can be adjusted to be greater than the freezing temperature, thereby reducing the probability of the object freezing.

[0085] For example, if the item is meat, the freezing temperature of meat is between -1.1℃ and -2.2℃. If the freezing temperature of meat is determined to be -1.1℃, the refrigeration temperature of the refrigeration equipment can be adjusted to greater than -1.1℃, thereby preventing the refrigeration temperature in the refrigeration equipment from reaching the freezing temperature of meat -1.1℃, thereby reducing the probability of meat freezing.

[0086] For example, taking fish as an example, the freezing temperature of fish is usually between -0.8℃ and -1.5℃. If the freezing temperature of fish is determined to be -0.8℃, the refrigeration temperature of the refrigeration equipment can be adjusted to greater than -0.8℃, thereby preventing the refrigeration temperature in the refrigeration equipment from reaching the freezing temperature of fish -0.8℃, thereby reducing the probability of fish freezing.

[0087] Optionally, the refrigeration temperature in the refrigeration device can be adjusted to a target temperature, the target temperature is higher than the freezing temperature, and the difference between the target temperature and the freezing temperature is greater than a preset difference, that is, the sum of the freezing temperature and the preset difference is equal to the target temperature. The preset difference ranges from 0.3°C to 0.6°C.

[0088] Taking the preset difference of 0.3℃ as an example, if it is determined that the freezing temperature of the item is -0.8℃, the preset difference of 0.3℃ can be added to the freezing temperature to obtain a target temperature of -0.5℃. The refrigeration temperature in the refrigeration equipment can be adjusted to -0.5℃ to prevent the refrigeration temperature in the refrigeration equipment from reaching the freezing temperature of the item, thereby reducing the probability of the item freezing.

[0089] In the related art, an approximate freezing temperature range of food is obtained. For example, the freezing temperature range of meat is -1.1°C to -2.2°C. In this way, the refrigeration temperature in the refrigeration equipment is controlled to be higher than -1.1°C to -2.2°C. However, the freezing temperatures of different types of meat may be different. Following this unified control method may cause some meat to freeze, while the storage time of other meat is shorter, resulting in the preservation effect.

[0090] For example, see Figure 3 As shown, taking the freezing temperature of meat as -1.8°C as an example, the refrigeration temperature in the refrigeration equipment can be controlled to be higher than the freezing temperature of -1.8°C, for example, -1.7°C. The freezing temperature of beef among meats is -1.6°C. When the beef is placed in the refrigeration equipment, since the refrigeration temperature of the refrigeration equipment -1.7°C is lower than the freezing temperature of beef -1.6°C, the beef will freeze, and freezing will cause the color of the beef to turn brown, and the beef will lose a lot of juice after thawing, which will also make the beef difficult to cut; the freezing point of pork among meats is -2.0°C. When the pork is placed in the refrigeration equipment, since the refrigeration temperature of the refrigeration equipment -1.7°C is much higher than the freezing temperature of pork -2.0°C, although the pork will not freeze, the refrigeration temperature of the refrigerated pork is relatively high, resulting in a shorter storage time for the pork and a worse preservation effect.

[0091] Through the technical solution proposed in the present invention, for different items, when the temperature of the item is lower than the preset temperature and the rate of change of the cooling speed of the item is lower than the preset value, the freezing temperature of the item can be obtained according to the target cooling speed of the item, and the refrigeration temperature of the refrigeration equipment can be adjusted to be higher than the freezing temperature.

[0092] It can be seen that the present invention will obtain different freezing temperatures for different items, and then adaptively adjust the refrigeration temperature of the refrigeration equipment to be slightly higher than the freezing temperature of the items. While ensuring that the items are not frozen as much as possible, it also extends the storage time of the items and ensures the freshness of the items.

[0093] For example, taking the item as beef, the present disclosure will determine that the freezing temperature of the beef is -1.6°C based on the target cooling rate of the beef, so the refrigeration temperature of the refrigeration equipment is adjusted to -1.3°C. On the one hand, the refrigeration temperature is relatively low, which makes the beef last longer and the preservation effect is better; on the other hand, the refrigeration temperature is above the freezing temperature of the beef, which reduces the occurrence of beef freezing, and also reduces the problems caused by beef freezing, such as browning, juice loss after thawing, and difficulty in cutting beef.

[0094] Figure 4 is an exemplary embodiment involved in the above step S10, which is used to explain an exemplary solution for obtaining the rate of change of the cooling speed of the object, including the following steps:

[0095] In step S11, the maximum cooling rate and the minimum cooling rate of the object during the cooling process are determined.

[0096] Optionally, one of the exemplary schemes for determining the maximum cooling rate and the minimum cooling rate of the object during the cooling process includes: determining multiple cooling rates of the object during the cooling process, and selecting the maximum cooling rate and the minimum cooling rate from the multiple cooling rates.

[0097] For example, the interval duration can be obtained by subtracting the second adjacent time point from the first adjacent time point during the cooling process of the item; the temperature difference can be obtained by subtracting the second adjacent temperature from the first adjacent temperature during the cooling process of the item; and then the temperature difference is divided by the interval duration to obtain the cooling speed of the item; and then the maximum cooling speed and the minimum cooling speed can be screened out from the multiple cooling speeds of the item.

[0098] Optionally, the second exemplary solution for determining the maximum cooling rate and the minimum cooling rate of the object during the cooling process includes the following sub-steps:

[0099] In sub-step A1, the cooling process of the object is divided into at least two cooling intervals.

[0100] After the temperature of the object drops to the preset temperature, the temperature of the object after dropping to the preset temperature can be divided into at least two temperature reduction intervals, and the temperature reduction time of each of the at least two temperature reduction intervals is equal.

[0101] For example, see Figure 5 As shown, the cooling process of the article can be divided into four cooling intervals, namely, S1, S2, S3 and S4, and the cooling time of these four cooling intervals is equal.

[0102] In sub-step A2, for each of the at least two cooling intervals, a cooling speed corresponding to each cooling interval is determined.

[0103] For each cooling interval, the temperature difference between the end temperature of the cooling interval and the start temperature of the cooling interval can be determined first; then the cooling speed corresponding to the cooling interval can be obtained according to the temperature difference and the cooling time corresponding to the cooling interval.

[0104] For example, the cooling speed corresponding to the cooling range can be calculated by the following formula:

[0105] V x =(T dsx-end -T dsx-start ) / t (1)

[0106] In formula (1), V x is the cooling speed corresponding to the cooling interval; Tdsx-end is the end temperature of the cooling interval; T dsx-start is the starting temperature of the cooling interval; t is the cooling time corresponding to the cooling interval.

[0107] From formula (1), we can see that the temperature difference can be obtained by subtracting the starting temperature of the cooling interval from the ending temperature of the cooling interval; and then the temperature difference can be divided by the cooling time to obtain the cooling speed corresponding to the cooling interval. The cooling speed corresponding to the cooling interval indicates the average cooling speed of the item within the cooling time.

[0108] In sub-step A3, the maximum cooling rate and the minimum cooling rate are selected from the cooling rates corresponding to the at least two cooling intervals.

[0109] When the number of the at least two cooling intervals is two, the maximum cooling rate is the larger cooling rate of the two cooling intervals, and the minimum cooling rate is the smaller cooling rate of the two cooling intervals.

[0110] When the number of at least two cooling intervals is three or more, the maximum cooling rate is the maximum cooling rate among the cooling rates of the three or more cooling intervals; the minimum cooling rate is the minimum cooling rate among the cooling rates of the three or more cooling intervals. Taking the at least two cooling intervals including four cooling intervals S1, S2, S3 and S4 as an example, the maximum cooling rate and the minimum cooling rate can be screened out from the cooling rates corresponding to the four cooling intervals.

[0111] In step S12, the temperature reduction rate change rate is obtained according to the maximum temperature reduction rate and the minimum temperature reduction rate.

[0112] Optionally, the temperature reduction rate change rate may be obtained by subtracting the minimum temperature reduction rate from the maximum temperature reduction rate among the temperature reduction rates in the at least two temperature reduction intervals.

[0113] See also Figure 4 As shown, taking at least two cooling intervals including S1, S2, S3 and S4 as an example, the maximum cooling rate in the four cooling intervals can be subtracted from the minimum cooling rate to obtain the cooling rate change rate. After obtaining the cooling rate change rate, the relationship between the cooling rate change rate and the preset value is determined to determine whether the temperature of the object has reached the stage where freezing will occur. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0114] max(v1~v4)-min(v1~v4)<v0 (2)

[0115] In formula (2), max(v1~v4) is the maximum cooling rate among the four cooling intervals of S1, S2, S3 and S4; min(v1~v4) is the minimum cooling rate among the four cooling intervals of S1, S2, S3 and S4; v0 is a preset value.

[0116] Optionally, when the cooling speed change rate between the maximum cooling speed and the minimum cooling speed of at least two cooling intervals is greater than or equal to a preset value, the first cooling interval with an earlier time point in the at least two cooling intervals is eliminated and a target cooling interval is added to form at least two new cooling intervals, and the starting time point of the target cooling interval is later than the ending time point of the last cooling interval with a later time point in the at least two cooling intervals; then the cooling speed of the newly added target cooling interval is calculated, and the maximum cooling speed and the minimum cooling speed are selected from the cooling speeds of the new at least two cooling intervals, and then the cooling speed change rate between the maximum cooling speed and the minimum cooling speed is determined, and when the cooling speed change rate is greater than or equal to the preset value, the above steps are repeated until the cooling speed change rate is less than the preset value.

[0117] For example, taking at least two cooling intervals including S1, S2, S3 and S4, which are arranged in chronological order, as an example, when the cooling speed change rate between the maximum cooling speed and the minimum cooling speed among the cooling speeds of the four cooling intervals is greater than or equal to the preset value, the cooling interval S1 is eliminated, and then the cooling interval S5 is obtained, and the cooling speed change rate between the maximum cooling speed and the minimum cooling speed among the cooling speeds of the four cooling intervals S2, S3, S4 and S5 is recalculated. When the cooling speed change rate is still greater than or equal to the preset value, the cooling interval S6 is continued to be added to eliminate the cooling interval S2 until the cooling speed change rate is less than the preset value.

[0118] It is understandable that the more continuous cooling intervals involved in calculating the cooling speed change rate, the more accurate the cooling speed change rate will be. The difference between the cooling time of at least three continuous cooling intervals and the cooling time of the second cooling stage is less than the preset difference, indicating that the cooling time of at least three continuous cooling intervals is close to the cooling time of the second cooling stage.

[0119] See also Figure 5As shown, for example, taking two cooling intervals to participate in the calculation of the cooling speed change rate as an example, assuming that the two cooling intervals are S1 and S2, the starting time point of the cooling interval S1 is 18:00, and the end time point of the cooling interval S1 is 18:20; the starting time point of the cooling interval S2 is 18:30, and the end time point of the cooling interval S2 is 18:40, then the cooling speed change rate is the speed change rate within the time period of 18:00-18:40, which reflects the 40mi from 18:00 to 18:40. The second cooling stage in which the object forms crystals will last for a long time. In addition to the cooling process within 40 minutes from 18:00 to 18:40, there may be multiple cooling processes such as S3, S4, S5, and S6. Therefore, calculating the cooling rate change rate within 40 minutes from 18:00 to 18:40 alone can only represent the cooling rate change rate of the short-term cooling stage, but cannot represent the cooling rate change rate of the long-term second cooling stage. The credibility of the cooling rate change rate obtained is low.

[0120] For another example, taking two cooling intervals participating in the calculation of the cooling speed change rate as an example, assuming that the two cooling intervals are S1 and S4, then the obtained cooling speed change rate is the degree of change of the cooling speed between the cooling interval S1 and the cooling interval S4. If the cooling rates of the cooling interval S1 and the cooling interval S4 are 1.2℃ / h and 1.3℃ / h respectively, and the cooling rates of the cooling interval S2 and the cooling interval S3 are 2.0℃ / h and 2.5℃ / h respectively, then the calculated cooling speed change rate between the cooling interval S1 and the cooling interval S4 is 0.1℃ / h, which does not take into account the larger cooling rates of the cooling intervals S2 and S3, resulting in a smaller cooling speed change rate in the end, and it is considered that the degree of change of the cooling speed in the time period from the cooling interval S1 to the cooling interval S4 is smaller.

[0121] For another example, taking four cooling intervals involved in calculating the cooling speed change rate as an example, assuming that the four cooling intervals are S1, S2, S3, and S4, and the cooling speeds of the four cooling intervals are 1.2℃ / h, 2.0℃ / h, 2.5℃ / h, and 1.3℃ / h, respectively, then the maximum cooling speed in the four cooling intervals is 2.5℃ / h, and the minimum cooling speed is 1.2℃ / h. The cooling speed change rate in the cooling stage corresponding to the four cooling intervals is 1.3℃ / h, which is relatively large, indicating that the cooling speed in this cooling stage has a large degree of change, and the temperature of the object has not yet reached the second cooling stage where the cooling speed change is smaller.

[0122] It can be seen from the above three examples that when the number of cooling intervals is two, the cooling rate change rate between two adjacent cooling intervals is the cooling rate change rate in the short cooling stage, which is insufficient to reflect the cooling rate change rate in the long second cooling stage; the cooling rate change rate between two non-adjacent cooling intervals reflects the cooling rate change rate between the two cooling intervals, which ignores the intermediate cooling interval between the two non-adjacent cooling intervals, resulting in the final cooling rate change rate being insufficient to reflect the cooling rate change rate of the entire second cooling stage.

[0123] When the number of cooling intervals is four, the obtained cooling speed change rate is the cooling speed change rate between the maximum cooling speed and the minimum cooling speed in the four cooling intervals. Since the time period corresponding to the four consecutive cooling intervals is longer, the cooling speed change rate of the four consecutive cooling intervals can represent the cooling speed change rate of the second cooling stage with a longer time period; and the four consecutive cooling intervals do not ignore the intermediate cooling interval, so the obtained cooling speed change rate can reflect the cooling speed change rate of the entire second cooling stage.

[0124] Optionally, there is a preset time interval between two adjacent cooling intervals in the at least two cooling intervals.

[0125] See also Figure 5 As shown, there is a preset time interval between the cooling interval S1 and the cooling interval S2; there is also a preset time interval between the cooling interval S2 and the cooling interval S3; there is also a preset time interval between the cooling interval S3 and the cooling interval S4.

[0126] By configuring a preset duration between two adjacent cooling intervals, the cooling duration between the starting time points of at least two cooling intervals and the end time points of at least two cooling intervals will be increased, thereby determining the cooling speed change rate within a longer cooling time, and determining whether the temperature change trend is stable within a longer cooling time, so that the obtained cooling speed change rate can better reflect the cooling speed change rate of the entire second cooling stage.

[0127] Figure 6 It is an exemplary embodiment involved in the above step S20, which is used to explain an exemplary scheme for obtaining the freezing temperature based on the maximum cooling rate and the minimum cooling rate.

[0128] In one exemplary solution, when the number of the cooling intervals is two, the target cooling rate can be obtained according to the maximum cooling rate and the minimum cooling rate; and the freezing temperature can be obtained according to the target cooling rate.

[0129] When there are two cooling intervals, the larger cooling rate of the two cooling intervals can be used as the maximum cooling rate, and the smaller cooling rate of the two cooling intervals can be used as the minimum cooling rate; then the target cooling rate is obtained based on the maximum cooling rate and the minimum cooling rate; the freezing temperature is obtained based on the target cooling rate and the cooling time corresponding to the cooling interval.

[0130] Among them, the average value of the maximum cooling rate and the minimum cooling rate can be used as the target cooling rate.

[0131] The product of the target cooling speed and the cooling time corresponding to the cooling interval may be used as the freezing temperature.

[0132] It can be understood that the cooling time corresponding to the two cooling intervals is the same, and the product of the average target cooling speed of the two cooling intervals and the cooling time corresponding to the cooling interval represents the average temperature of a single cooling interval, and also represents the average temperature of the cooling process corresponding to the two cooling intervals.

[0133] See also Figure 3 As shown, the cooling interval when the item reaches the second cooling stage is relatively stable, and the average temperature of the second cooling stage can represent the freezing temperature of the item. Since the cooling rate change rate between the maximum cooling rate and the minimum cooling rate in the two cooling intervals is less than the preset value, it means that the cooling curves of the item in the two cooling intervals are relatively stable. Therefore, the average temperature of the two cooling intervals can be used as the freezing temperature of the item.

[0134] In a second exemplary solution, when the number of cooling intervals is three or more, the target cooling rate can be obtained according to an intermediate cooling rate between the maximum cooling rate and the minimum cooling rate; and the freezing temperature can be obtained according to the target cooling rate.

[0135] When there are three cooling intervals, the middle cooling rate of the three cooling intervals excluding the maximum cooling rate and the minimum cooling rate can be used as the target cooling rate; and the freezing temperature is obtained according to the target cooling rate and the cooling time corresponding to the cooling interval.

[0136] When the number of cooling intervals is four or more, the average of the intermediate cooling rates of the four cooling intervals excluding the maximum cooling rate and the minimum cooling rate can be used as the target cooling rate; and the freezing temperature can be obtained based on the target cooling rate and the cooling time corresponding to the cooling interval.

[0137] It can be understood that the cooling time corresponding to at least three cooling intervals is the same, and the product of the average target cooling speed of at least three cooling intervals and the cooling time corresponding to the cooling interval represents the average temperature of a single cooling interval, and also represents the average temperature during the cooling process corresponding to at least three cooling intervals.

[0138] See also Figure 2 As shown, the cooling interval when the item reaches the second cooling stage is relatively stable, and the average temperature of the second cooling stage can represent the freezing temperature of the item. Since the cooling rate change rate between the maximum cooling rate and the minimum cooling rate in at least three cooling intervals is less than the preset value, it means that the cooling curve of the item in these at least three cooling intervals is relatively stable. Therefore, the average temperature of at least three cooling intervals can be used as the freezing temperature of the item.

[0139] Moreover, since there are maximum cooling rates and minimum cooling rates in more than three cooling intervals, and the freezing temperature in the second cooling stage tends to be stable, the maximum cooling rate and the minimum cooling rate will interfere with the calculation of the freezing temperature, so the maximum cooling rate and the minimum cooling rate can be eliminated, and the freezing temperature is obtained based on the intermediate cooling rate between the maximum cooling rate and the minimum cooling rate. The obtained freezing temperature has higher accuracy.

[0140] Through the above technical scheme, the stable temperature change trend in the second cooling stage is first utilized. When the cooling rate change rate between the maximum cooling rate and the minimum cooling rate in the current cooling process is less than a preset value, it is considered that the current cooling process is relatively stable and close to the cooling trend of the second cooling stage, so as to calculate the subsequent freezing temperature; and then, the characteristic that the freezing temperature in the second cooling stage tends to remain unchanged is utilized, and the average target cooling rate of the current cooling process is used as the freezing temperature, so that the obtained freezing temperature has higher credibility and accuracy.

[0141] Figure 7 The disclosure relates to an exemplary embodiment, which is used to explain an exemplary scheme for controlling the refrigeration temperature drop in a refrigeration device, comprising the following steps:

[0142] In step S40, the refrigeration temperature in the refrigeration device is controlled to decrease with the goal of being lower than the preset temperature.

[0143] The preset temperature is the dividing temperature between solid and non-solid state for most objects, and is also the starting temperature of the second cooling stage. The object will reach the freezing temperature only when its temperature is below the preset temperature.

[0144] When controlling the refrigeration temperature of the refrigeration equipment, the refrigeration temperature in the refrigeration equipment can be controlled by taking a temperature lower than a preset temperature as a target, so that the refrigeration temperature in the refrigeration equipment can quickly reach the preset temperature. The temperature lower than the preset temperature is within the temperature range [-3°C, -5°C].

[0145] For example, if the preset temperature is 0℃, the refrigeration temperature of the refrigeration equipment can be controlled to be 0℃ as the target, and the refrigeration temperature in the refrigeration equipment can be controlled to drop. In this way, the refrigeration temperature of the refrigeration equipment reaches 0℃ slowly. If the refrigeration temperature in the refrigeration equipment is controlled to drop to a temperature -3℃ lower than the preset temperature, the refrigeration temperature of the refrigeration equipment will reach 0℃ faster.

[0146] Optionally, during the process of the refrigeration temperature in the refrigeration equipment decreasing, the temperature of the object is monitored; when the temperature of the object is lower than the preset temperature, the rate of change of the cooling speed after the temperature of the object is lower than the preset temperature is determined.

[0147] Among them, the refrigeration temperature in the refrigeration equipment can be adjusted by the adjustment device, and in the process of adjusting the refrigeration temperature in the refrigeration equipment to drop, the temperature of the items in the refrigeration equipment is monitored by the detection device, and when the temperature of the item is lower than the preset temperature, the rate of change of the cooling speed after the temperature of the item is lower than the preset temperature is determined.

[0148] See also Figure 2 As shown, the starting temperature of the second cooling stage is less than or equal to 0°C. Taking the preset temperature of 0°C as an example, the refrigeration temperature in the refrigeration equipment can be adjusted to 0°C by the adjusting device, and in the process of the refrigeration temperature in the refrigeration equipment dropping to 0°C, the temperature of the items in the refrigeration equipment can be monitored by the detection device; if the temperature of the item is less than 0°C, it means that the item may reach the second cooling stage. At this time, the temperature of the item after it is less than the preset temperature is obtained, and then the cooling speed change rate is obtained based on the temperature of the item after it is less than the preset temperature.

[0149] Optionally, the temperature of the object may be monitored after the refrigeration temperature in the refrigeration equipment drops to a preset temperature; when the temperature of the object is lower than the preset temperature, the rate of change of the cooling speed after the temperature of the object is lower than the preset temperature is determined.

[0150] Through the above technical solution, since the object will only condense and reach the freezing temperature when the temperature of the object is lower than the preset temperature, the cooling rate of change and the freezing temperature of the object can be calculated when the temperature of the object is lower than the preset temperature, without having to calculate the cooling rate of change of the object in real time, thereby reducing the amount of calculation brought by real-time calculation.

[0151] Fig. 9 and Fig.10 is a schematic diagram of a refrigeration device eliminated according to an exemplary embodiment, the refrigeration device may be a refrigeration box in a refrigerator; the refrigeration device includes a control device ( Fig. 9 and Fig.10 ) and the adjusting device 5.

[0152] The control device is used to determine the rate of change of the cooling speed of the items in the refrigeration device; and when the rate of change of the cooling speed is less than a preset value, the freezing temperature of the items is obtained according to the target cooling speed of the items.

[0153] The regulating device 5 is used to regulate the refrigeration temperature in the refrigeration device to be higher than the freezing temperature.

[0154] See also Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the refrigeration device includes a temperature-changing box 1, a drawer 2, an air inlet 3 and an air outlet 4. The drawer 2 is slidably arranged in the temperature-changing box 1, and the drawer 2 is used to contain items; the air inlet 3 is provided on the temperature-changing box 1, and is used to transmit cold air to the drawer 2; the air outlet 4 is provided on the temperature-changing box 1, and is used to discharge the cold air in the drawer 2; the regulating device 5 is provided on the top of the temperature-changing box 1, and is used to adjust the refrigeration temperature in the drawer 2 to be higher than the freezing temperature.

[0155] Optionally, the air inlet 3 and the air outlet 4 are both connected to the air duct in the refrigerator, and the cold air enters the drawer 2 through the air inlet 3 and then returns to the evaporator through the air outlet 4. The regulating device 5 can adjust the refrigeration temperature in the drawer 2 by adjusting the temperature of the cold air entering the air inlet 3.

[0156] Optionally, see Fig.10 As shown, the regulating device 5 is arranged at the inner top of the temperature-changing box 1, and is used to monitor and control the refrigeration temperature in the drawer 2. The regulating device 5 can be a top sensor.

[0157] Optionally, see Fig.10 As shown, the detection device 6 is arranged at the inner bottom of the temperature-changing box 1, and is used to monitor the temperature of the items placed in the drawer 2. The detection device 6 can be a bottom sensor. For example, the detection device 6 is used to monitor the temperature of the items in the drawer 2 when the adjustment device 5 controls the refrigeration temperature in the drawer 2 to drop, or after the refrigeration temperature in the drawer 2 drops to a preset temperature.

[0158] Among them, see Fig.10As shown, a cooling component 7 is provided at the bottom of the drawer 2, and a detection device 6 is provided at the inner bottom of the temperature-changing box 1 and below the cooling component 7, for monitoring the temperature of items placed on the cooling component 7. The cooling component 7 may be a cooling tray, which may be part or all of the bottom of the drawer 2. The cooling tray is made of metal, and the cooling tray and the detection device 6 are fitted together by snaps, so that the temperature monitored by the detection device 6 is the temperature of the cooling tray. When an item is placed on the cooling tray, the cooling tray transmits the temperature of the item, so that the temperature of the cooling tray monitored by the detection device 6 is the temperature of the item.

[0159] In some scenarios, taking the item being meat as an example, after the meat is placed on the cooling component 7 of the drawer 2, the adjusting device 5 monitors the refrigerated temperature in the drawer 2 and lowers the refrigerated temperature in the drawer 2 to a preset temperature, and the detecting device 6 monitors the temperature of the meat on the cooling component 7. When the temperature of the meat reaches the preset temperature, the detecting device 6 transmits the subsequent meat temperature to the control device in real time, and the control device obtains the cooling speed change rate of the meat based on the received meat temperature; when the cooling speed change rate is less than the preset value, the freezing temperature of the meat is determined; the control device then sends the freezing temperature to the adjusting device 5, and the adjusting device 5 adjusts the refrigerated temperature in the drawer 2 to be higher than the freezing temperature.

[0160] Through the above technical scheme, the refrigeration temperature can be monitored and controlled by the adjustment device 5, and the temperature of the items in the drawer 2 can be monitored by the detection device 6. The two coordinate with each other to obtain the freezing temperature of the items, and adjust the refrigeration temperature in the drawer 2 to be higher than the freezing temperature, thereby reducing the probability of freezing of the items.

[0161] It is understandable that different types of items have different freezing temperatures (for example, pork and fish have different freezing temperatures), and the freezing temperatures of the same item are also different (for example, fat pork and lean pork have different freezing temperatures). When the items placed in drawer 2 are different, the freezing temperature of each item can be obtained through the above scheme, so that the refrigeration temperature in drawer 2 can be adaptively adjusted to above the freezing temperature of the item, thereby reducing the probability of freezing of the item.

[0162] Of course, if multiple items need to be refrigerated at the same time, at least one partition can be set inside the drawer 2 to divide the drawer 2 into multiple different storage spaces. In this way, different storage spaces can store different items, and the freezing temperatures of the items in the multiple storage spaces can be identified separately, and then the refrigeration temperatures of the multiple storage spaces can be adjusted to above their respective freezing temperatures, thereby reducing the freezing probability of the items stored in the multiple storage spaces.
