[0022] The technical solution in this application embodiment is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, and the overall idea is as follows:

[0023] Example: Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, the intelligent temperature-controlled three-temperature zone wine cabinet of this embodiment includes a cabinet body 1. Two sets of double-layer foamed partitions are installed in the middle of the inner cavity of the cabinet body 1, namely the upper partition 2 and the middle partition 3. The upper partition 2 and the middle partition 3 divide the inner cavity of the cabinet body 1 into three chambers, which are, from top to bottom, the upper chamber 4, the middle chamber 5 and the lower chamber 6, thereby enabling the classification and storage of various wines.

[0024] The upper chamber 4, middle chamber 5, and lower chamber 6 are each equipped with a first circulating fan 11, which can accelerate the diffusion of cold air and allow the cold air to be evenly distributed in the chamber for cooling as quickly as possible. A second circulating fan 12 is installed in the middle of the inner side of the partition 3, which is mainly used to balance the temperature of the middle and lower chambers. Heaters 9 are installed in the upper chamber 4 and lower chamber 6 to heat the temperature, thereby realizing the classified management of the temperature in the three chambers.

[0025] A compressor 8 is installed at the bottom rear side of the cabinet 1. A three-way solenoid valve is installed at the output end of the compressor 8. The three-way solenoid valve is connected to the three chambers through pipes, thereby realizing the cooling of the three chambers.

[0026] In some examples, finned evaporators 10 are installed inside the upper chamber 4 and the middle chamber 5, respectively.

[0027] In some examples, the upper chamber 4, the middle chamber 5 and the lower chamber 6 are all equipped with lighting lamps 13 and temperature probes 14. The temperature probes 14 can monitor the temperature inside the chambers in real time, and the lighting lamps 13 serve as illumination.

[0028] In some examples, the three-way solenoid valve is controlled by a thermostat 15, which is located on the front of the upper partition 2 and the middle partition 3 respectively.

[0029] In some examples, the front of the cabinet 1 is provided with a sealed door 16, and the middle of the sealed door 16 is provided with a double-layered hollow transparent glass 17, which is treated with Low-E coating.

[0030] In some examples, heater 9 is located outside of the first circulating fan 11.

[0031] In some examples, shelves 7 are provided in the middle of the inner cavities of the upper chamber 4, the middle chamber 5, and the lower chamber 6 for placing alcoholic beverages.

[0032] The three-temperature zone refrigeration control scheme of this utility model is as follows:

[0033] 1. Start-up conditions for compressor 8:

[0034] When the actual temperature t1 of cabinet 1 is greater than or equal to the set temperature T1+2ºC or t2 is greater than or equal to the set temperature T2+2ºC, compressor 8 is turned on.

[0035] 2. Compressor 8 shutdown conditions:

[0036] Under normal cooling conditions, compressor 8 can only stop when cabinet 1 simultaneously satisfies t1+1ºC≤T1 and t2+1ºC≤T2.

[0037] 3. Control of the first circulating fan 11:

[0038] When the three-way solenoid valve directs the cooling of the upper chamber 4, the first circulation fan 11 of the upper chamber 4 runs at full speed; otherwise, it runs for 30 seconds and stops for 30 seconds.

[0039] When the three-way solenoid valve directs the cooling of the middle chamber 5, the first circulation fan 11 of the middle chamber 5 runs at full speed; otherwise, it runs for 30 seconds and stops for 30 seconds.

[0040] The operating conditions of the first circulating fan 11 in the lower chamber 6 are as follows: it stops operating when t2+1ºC≤T2, and runs at full speed when t2≥T2+0.5ºC.

[0041] In the above, t1 is the measured temperature in the upper chamber 4, and T1 is the set temperature in the upper chamber 4; t2 is the measured temperature in the middle chamber 5, and T2 is the set temperature in the middle chamber 5.

[0042] 4. Control of heater 9:

[0043] When the temperature inside cabinet 1 meets the condition t < T - 3ºC for 30 consecutive minutes, turn on the heater 9 of the corresponding greenhouse to heat up the temperature. When t ≥ T, turn off the heater 9.

[0044] During system operation, the only condition for cabinet 1 to switch from heating to cooling is that the temperature inside cabinet 1 continuously satisfies t≥T+2ºC for 15 minutes.

[0045] 5. Three-way solenoid valve control:

[0046] When one chamber is in cooling mode and the other chamber is in constant temperature mode, the three-way solenoid valve directs the chamber in cooling mode.

[0047] When both chambers are in constant temperature mode, the three-way solenoid valve remains unchanged.

[0048] When both chambers are in cooling mode, the three-way valve control conditions are:

[0049] A. Only one chamber satisfies t≤T-1.5ºC, and the three-way solenoid valve directs to the other chamber;

[0050] B. When the temperature of one chamber rises from t≤T-1.5ºC but t≤T+1.5ºC, while the temperature of the other chamber has not reached t≤T-1.5ºC, the three-way solenoid valve still directs to the other chamber;

[0051] C. When both chambers satisfy t≤T-1.5ºC, the three-way solenoid valve remains unchanged.

[0052] D. Under other normal conditions, the three-way solenoid valve switches direction every 20 minutes.

[0053] In the above, t is the measured temperature of the selected chamber, which can be the upper chamber 4, the middle chamber 5, or the lower chamber 6, while T is the temperature value set for the selected corresponding chamber.

[0054] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0055] By setting up three storage chambers with different temperatures, users can conveniently store beverages (such as red wine, beer, and sake) in categories. This new type of intelligent temperature-controlled three-temperature zone wine cabinet caters to the needs of both commercial and home use, enriches its functions, realizes more usage scenarios, and thus effectively improves its versatility.

[0056] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
