As the core power source of an air-cooled refrigerator, the fundamental frequency vibration caused by the reciprocating motion of the piston of the compressor is rigidly conducted through the box structure of the refrigerator, forming a continuous low-frequency roar throughout the day and night, which is one of the largest noise sources in air-cooled refrigerators.

[0041] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are only exemplary and explanatory, and cannot limit the present disclosure. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Detailed implementation manners

[0044] Here, the exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and the examples are shown in the drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementation manners described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementation manners consistent with the present disclosure. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0045] It should be noted that all actions of obtaining signals, information, or data in the present disclosure are carried out on the premise of complying with the corresponding data protection regulations and policies of the country where the location is located and obtaining the authorization given by the owner of the corresponding device.

[0046] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a refrigerator control method shown according to an exemplary embodiment; as Figure 1 shown, the refrigerator control method may include: Step 101, when it is determined that the current control mode of the refrigerator is the first control mode, control the compressor of the refrigerator to operate at a first speed.

[0047] Among them, the first speed is less than a preset speed threshold, and the first control mode can be understood as a silent control mode, that is, in this first control mode, the speed of the compressor is relatively low. It should be noted that when the speed of the compressor is relatively low, the noise generated by the compressor will also decrease.

[0048] In this step, the implementation manners of determining that the current control mode of the refrigerator is the first control mode may include the following two: In the first method, when it is determined that the current time is within a preset silent time period, it is determined that the current control mode is the first control mode.

[0049] Among them, the preset silent time period can be obtained by receiving input from the user through the control panel of the refrigerator; it can also be preset through other terminal devices bound to the refrigerator.

[0050] In this embodiment, the implementation manner of determining whether the current time is within the preset silent time period may include Figure 2 the steps described in S11 to S13 in Figure 2 which is Figure 1 Another flowchart of a refrigerator control method shown in the illustrated embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, step 101 may include: In S11, obtain the time arrangement information in the terminal associated with the refrigerator, and the time arrangement information includes the matter arrangement data within one or more time periods.

[0051] Among them, the terminal associated with the refrigerator may be devices such as a mobile phone, a tablet, a smart bracelet, etc. connected to the same WIFI as the refrigerator, or a terminal device that establishes a Bluetooth connection with the refrigerator. The matter arrangement data is used to represent the arranged matters within the time period, for example, 11:30 - 13:00, lunch time, 13:00 - 13:30, lunch break time, 9:00 - 11:00, working time, 13:30 - 14:30, meeting time, etc.

[0052] In S12, determine the target matter corresponding to the current time according to the time arrangement information.

[0053] For example, if the current time is 13:02 and this current time belongs to 13:00 - 13:30 in the time arrangement information, the target matter corresponding to the current time is the arranged matter in the matter arrangement data corresponding to 13:00 - 13:30.

[0054] In S13, when the target matter belongs to the preset silent matter, it is determined that the current time is within the preset silent time period.

[0055] Among them, the silent attributes corresponding to different arranged matters can be preset. For example, the silent attributes of matters such as lunch break time, evening sleep time, and baby soothing time, which the user believes require the refrigerator to reduce noise, can be set as silent matters, and the silent attributes of other matters can be set as non - silent matters.

[0056] In the embodiment shown in S11 to S13, it is possible to obtain the user's schedule information from the terminal associated with the refrigerator, and determine whether the current time is within the preset silent time period according to the schedule information. This can effectively improve the convenience of setting the preset silent time period, and further improve the intelligence level of the refrigerator, thus being conducive to further enhancing the user experience.

[0057] In the second method, the refrigerator temperature includes the fresh food compartment temperature and / or the freezer temperature. When it is determined that the current fresh food compartment temperature is less than the preset fresh food temperature threshold, and / or the current freezer temperature is less than the preset freezer temperature threshold, it is determined that the current control mode of the refrigerator is the first control mode.

[0058] In this embodiment, determining whether to use the first control mode as the current control mode based on the refrigerator temperature can not only effectively reduce the noise generated by the refrigerator compressor during the preset silent time period, but also effectively ensure the refrigeration effect of the refrigerator.

[0059] Step 102, after running at the first rotation speed, if it is determined that the refrigerator temperature is greater than the preset temperature threshold, obtain the startup rate within the target time period according to the current time.

[0060] In this step, the embodiment of determining that the refrigerator temperature is greater than the preset temperature threshold may include: In the first method, when the refrigerator temperature includes the fresh food compartment temperature and the freezer temperature, if it is determined that the current fresh food compartment temperature is greater than or equal to the preset fresh food temperature threshold, and the current freezer temperature is greater than or equal to the preset freezer temperature threshold, it is determined that the refrigerator temperature is greater than the preset temperature threshold.

[0061] In the second method, when the refrigerator temperature only includes the fresh food compartment temperature, if it is determined that the current fresh food compartment temperature is greater than or equal to the preset fresh food temperature threshold, it is determined that the refrigerator temperature is greater than the preset temperature threshold.

[0062] In the third method, when the refrigerator temperature only includes the freezer temperature, if it is determined that the current freezer temperature is greater than or equal to the preset freezer temperature threshold, it is determined that the refrigerator temperature is greater than the preset temperature threshold.

[0063] In addition, in this step, the embodiment of obtaining the startup rate within the target time period according to the current time may include Figure 3 the steps described in S21 to S23 Figure 3 is according to Figure 1 shown in the flowchart of another refrigerator control method shown in the embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, this step 102 may include: S21, determine the target time period for collecting the startup rate according to the current time.

[0064] Among them, when it is determined that the current time belongs to the first preset time period, the time period corresponding to the first time length before the current time is used as the target time period; when it is determined that the current time belongs to the second preset time period, the time period corresponding to the second time length before the current time is used as the target time period, and the first time length is greater than the second time length.

[0065] The first preset time period may be a time period when the user opens the refrigerator door less frequently, and the second preset time period may be a time period when the user opens the refrigerator door more frequently. For example, the time period from 18:00 to 21:00 is the time for the user to prepare dinner, and the whole family is at home during this time, and they will take food, drinks, snacks and other items from the refrigerator. Therefore, it is a time period when the refrigerator door is opened more frequently, and the user can set this time period as the second preset time period. For another example, during the period from 23:00 to 05:00, the user is basically sleeping during this time period, and the number of times the refrigerator door is opened is less, so this time period can be set as the first preset time period. The first duration may be several hours, such as 2 hours or 3 hours, and the second duration may be half an hour, 15 minutes or 1 hour, etc.

[0066] For example, when the first preset time period is 23:30-05:00 and the first duration is 2 hours, the target time period is the time period corresponding to 2 hours before the current time. For example, if the current time is 23:50, the target time period may be 21:50-23:50. It should be noted that the numbers used in the above examples of the present disclosure are only used to illustrate the relevant terms and are not used to limit the specific scope of protection.

[0067] S22, obtaining the startup time of the compressor within the target time period.

[0068] S23, determining the power-on rate according to the power-on duration and the target time period.

[0069] The ratio of the power-on duration to the duration corresponding to the target time period may be used as the power-on rate.

[0070] The above S21 to S23 can determine target time periods of different lengths for the current time in different time periods, which can effectively improve the flexibility of controlling the compressor speed according to the startup rate, and is conducive to improving the reliability of reducing the compressor noise within the specified time period.

[0071] Step 103: adjusting the rotation speed of the compressor in the refrigerator according to the current time and the startup rate.

[0072] The above technical solution can, in the first control mode, determine the target time period for calculating the startup rate according to the current time, and adjust the rotational speed of the compressor according to the startup rate of the target time period and the current time, which can effectively reduce the noise generated by the refrigerator compressor during the preset silent time period, thereby effectively improving the usage experience of refrigerator users.

[0073] Figure 4 is based on Figure 1 The figure shows a flowchart of another refrigerator control method according to the illustrated embodiment. Figure 1 The implementation manner of adjusting the rotational speed of the compressor in the refrigerator according to the current time and the startup rate described in step 103 in [the figure] may include: S31. Determine the target startup rate range according to the current time.

[0074] In this step, when it is determined that the current time belongs to the third preset time period, the first preset range is taken as the target startup rate range; when it is determined that the current time belongs to the fourth preset time period, the second preset range is taken as the target startup rate range. The upper limit value of the first preset range is greater than the upper limit value of the second preset range, and the lower limit value of the first preset range is greater than or equal to the lower limit value of the second preset range.

[0075] Among them, the third preset time period may be a time period with more refrigeration requirements. For example, it may be a time period when the user opens the refrigerator door more frequently, or a time period when more ingredients are just put in. The fourth preset time period may be a time period with less refrigeration requirements. For example, a time period when the user opens the refrigerator door less, a time period when the room temperature is lower, etc.

[0076] It should be noted that the third preset time period may be the same as or different from the second preset time period, and the fourth preset time period may be the same as or different from the first preset time period.

[0077] In this way, different target startup rate ranges can be set for the current time in different time periods, which can effectively improve the flexibility of controlling the rotational speed of the compressor according to the startup rate, is beneficial to further meeting the user's demand for reducing the compressor noise time, and thus can further improve the usage experience of refrigerator users.

[0078] S32. When it is determined that the startup rate is greater than the upper limit value of the target startup rate range, control the compressor to operate at a second rotational speed, and the second rotational speed is greater than the first rotational speed.

[0079] Exemplarily, the speed control of the compressor can be achieved through a gear rule. As shown in Table 1, when the compressor gear control is in gear 1, the corresponding compressor speed is 1400; when the compressor gear control is in gear 2, the corresponding compressor speed is 1800; when the compressor gear control is in gear 3, the corresponding compressor speed is 2200; when the compressor gear control is in gear 7, the corresponding compressor speed is 4200. The second speed can be the speed of the next gear corresponding to the first speed gear, that is, the speed after increasing one gear. For example, if the first speed is the speed when the compressor gear control is in gear 1, the second speed can be the speed when the compressor gear control is in gear 2.

[0080] Table 1

[0081] S33. When it is determined that the startup rate is less than the lower limit value of the target startup rate range, control the compressor to operate at a third speed, and the third speed is less than the first speed.

[0082] Among them, the third speed can be the speed of the previous gear corresponding to the first speed gear, that is, the speed after decreasing one gear. For example, if the first speed is the speed when the compressor gear control is in gear 3, the third speed can be the speed when the compressor gear control is in gear 2.

[0083] S34. When it is determined that the startup rate belongs to the target startup rate range, control the compressor to operate at the first speed.

[0084] Exemplarily, taking the target startup rate range as [0.3, 0.7] as an example, the first speed is the speed when the compressor gear control is in gear 2. When the startup rate is less than 0.3, the compressor can be controlled to operate at the speed of gear 1; when the startup rate is greater than 0.7, the compressor can be controlled to operate at the speed of gear 3; when the startup rate is greater than or equal to 0.3 and less than or equal to 0.7, the compressor can be controlled to still operate at the speed of gear 2.

[0085] The above S31 to S34 can set different speeds for different ranges of startup rates on the basis of the first speed, which can not only effectively ensure the refrigeration effect of the refrigerator, but also reduce the noise generated by the compressor.

[0086] Figure 5 is according to Figure 1 shown in the flowchart of another refrigerator control method shown in the embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, the method may further include: Step 104. When it is determined that the current control mode of the refrigerator is the second control mode, determine the target difference between the current refrigerator temperature and the preset refrigerator temperature threshold.

[0087] Among them, the second control mode can be understood as other control modes other than the mute control mode.

[0088] Step 105: Determine the target speed of the compressor according to the target difference.

[0089] Among them, different target differences correspond to different target speeds.

[0090] Step 106: Control the compressor to operate at the target speed.

[0091] Through steps 104 to 106, it is possible to adjust the speed of the compressor according to the target difference between the current refrigerator temperature and the preset refrigerator temperature threshold in the second control mode of the refrigerator, which can effectively improve the reliability of refrigerator refrigeration.

[0092] Figure 6 It is based on Figure 1 Another flowchart of a refrigerator control method shown in the illustrated embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, the method may further include: Step 107: Obtain preset relationship data, where the preset relationship data includes the corresponding relationship between the compressor speed and the fan speed.

[0093] Exemplarily, when the compressor gear is in gear 1, the fan gear is also in gear 1. When the compressor gear is in gear 2 or 3, the fan gear is in gear 2. When the compressor gear is in gear 4 or 5, the fan gear is in gear 3. When the compressor gear is in gear 6, the fan gear is in gear 4. When the compressor gear is in gear 7, the fan gear is in gear 5. Among them, the corresponding relationship between the fan gear and the fan speed can be shown in Table 2: Table 2

[0094] Step 108: Determine the target fan speed according to the current speed of the compressor and the preset relationship data.

[0095] Exemplarily, if the current speed of the compressor is 1800, the fan gear is in gear 2, that is, the speed is 1000.

[0096] Step 109: Control the fan to operate at the target fan speed.

[0097] Through steps 107 to 109, it is possible to determine the target fan speed according to the current speed of the compressor and the corresponding relationship between the compressor speed and the fan speed, which can effectively ensure the cold air circulation effect of the refrigerator while reducing the noise generated by the fan, and further facilitate reducing the impact of refrigerator noise on users.

[0113] In another exemplary embodiment, a computer program product is further provided, the computer program product includes a computer program that can be executed by a programmable device, and the computer program has a code part for executing the above refrigerator control method when executed by the programmable device In the foregoing detailed description, reference has been made to the accompanying drawings, in which certain aspects of the present disclosure may be practiced by way of illustration. In this regard, directional or positional relationship terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc. may be used with reference to the orientation of the described figures. Since the components of the described devices may be positioned in a number of different orientations, the directional terms are used for illustrative purposes and not for purposes of limitation. It should be understood that other aspects may be utilized and structural or logical changes may be made without departing from the concepts of the present disclosure. Accordingly, the following detailed description should not be taken in a limiting sense.

[0114] It should be understood that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the features of some embodiments of the various aspects of the present disclosure described herein may be combined with each other. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any one of the related listed items and any combination of any two or more of them; similarly, "at least one of... " includes any one of the related listed items and any combination of any two or more of them.

[0115] It should be understood that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms such as "engage", "attach", "mount", "connect", "couple", "fix", etc. used in the embodiments of the present disclosure should be construed in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integral; it may be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection or communicable with each other; it may be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and may be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise expressly limited. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure may be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0116] In addition, the word "above" used with respect to a component, element or layer of material formed "above" or located "above" a surface may be used herein to mean that the component, element or layer of material is "indirectly" positioned (e.g., placed, formed, deposited, etc.) on the surface such that one or more additional components, elements or layers are disposed between the surface and the component, element or layer of material. However, the word "above" used with respect to a component, element or layer of material formed "above" or located "above" a surface may alternatively have a specific meaning: the component, element or layer of material is "directly" positioned (e.g., placed, formed, deposited, etc.) on the surface, e.g., in direct contact with the surface.

[0117] Although terms such as "first", "second", and "third" may be used herein to describe various components, parts, regions, layers, or sections, these components, parts, regions, layers, or sections are not limited to these terms. Instead, these terms are only used to distinguish one component, part, region, layer, or section from another. Thus, the first component, part, region, layer, or section referred to in the examples described herein may also be referred to as the second component, part, region, layer, or section without departing from the teachings of the examples. Additionally, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description herein, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0118] It should be understood that spatial relative terms, such as "above", "upper", "below", and "lower", are used herein to describe the relationship of one element shown in the figures to another element. In addition to the orientation depicted in the figures, such spatial relative terms are also intended to encompass different orientations of the device during use or operation. For example, if the device in the figures is flipped, an element described as "above" or "upper" relative to another element will then be "below" or "lower" relative to that other element. Thus, the term "above" encompasses both the above and below orientations depending on the spatial orientation of the device. The device may have other orientations (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative terms used herein should be interpreted accordingly.

[0119] Furthermore, the word "exemplary" is used herein to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any aspect or design described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as being advantageous compared to other aspects or designs. Instead, the use of the word exemplary is intended to present concepts in a concrete manner. As used herein, the term "or" is intended to mean an inclusive "or" rather than an exclusive "or". That is, unless otherwise specified, or clear from the context, "X applies A or B" is intended to mean any of the natural inclusive permutations. That is, if X applies A; X applies B; or X applies both A and B, then "X applies A or B" is satisfied under any of the foregoing instances. Additionally, unless otherwise specified or clear from the context referring to the singular form, the articles "a" and "an" as used in this application and the appended claims are generally understood to mean "one or more".

[0120] Likewise, although the present disclosure has been shown and described with respect to one or more implementations, equivalent variations and modifications will occur to those skilled in the art upon reading and understanding the specification and the drawings. The present disclosure includes all such modifications and variations and is limited only by the scope of the claims. Specifically with respect to the various functions performed by the components described above (e.g., elements, resources, etc.), unless otherwise indicated, the terms used to describe such components are intended to correspond to any component (functionally equivalent) that performs the specific function of the described component, even if not structurally equivalent to the disclosed structure. Additionally, although a particular feature of the present disclosure may have been disclosed with respect to only one of several implementations, such a feature may, as may be desired and advantageous for any given or particular application, be combined with one or more other features of the other implementations. Further, with respect to the use of "comprising", "having", "including", "containing", or variants thereof in the detailed description or claims, such terms are intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term "including".
