[0038] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments only represent some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0039] The terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth" and the like (if any) in the specification and claims of the present application and the above drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily indicate a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units does not necessarily have to include only those steps or units clearly listed, but can include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0040] With the continuous development of home appliance technology, energy storage technology, and new energy technology, some refrigerators have begun to be equipped with energy storage batteries. When the refrigerator is connected to an external power source, the external power source can supply power to the refrigerator's compressor and other loads, and also charge the energy storage battery to store energy. When the external power source connected to the refrigerator is abnormal, the energy storage battery installed in the refrigerator can take over and continuously supply power to the load, ensuring the refrigerator's continuous and stable operation.

[0041] In existing technologies, some refrigerators can already be connected to the power grids of new energy sources such as photovoltaic power. The power supply circuit in the refrigerator can obtain DC power from the new energy grid, thereby supplying power to the load and charging the battery. However, refrigerators capable of receiving and processing DC power are not yet widely used in the current technology. Most refrigerator power supply circuits can only use AC power. Therefore, in order to process the DC power obtained from the external DC power source, the power supply circuit in the refrigerator needs to convert the DC power to AC power, and then convert the AC power back to DC power according to the existing AC power processing methods before supplying power to the load and charging the energy storage battery. This results in low efficiency of the power supply circuit in the current technology when connecting to the external DC power source to supply power to the load and charge the battery based on DC power.

[0042] Based on this, this application provides a refrigerator and its integrated main transformer board, enabling the refrigerator to directly receive and use DC power supplied by an external DC power source, thereby improving the efficiency of the refrigerator when supplying power to the load and charging the battery based on DC power. The technical solution of this application will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0043] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the refrigerator provided in this application is shown below. Figure 1 The refrigerator 1 shown includes:

[0044] The box and door were not in Figure 1 As shown, the refrigerator body has a refrigeration compartment with an access port, and the door is rotatably connected to the body to open or close the access port. This application does not limit the specific implementation of the refrigerator body and door of the refrigerator 1.

[0045] The temperature adjustment system 12 is used to adjust the temperature inside the refrigeration compartment. In one embodiment, the temperature adjustment system 12 includes a compressor that can be used to run more frequently or faster when the temperature inside the refrigeration compartment of the refrigerator 1 rises, in order to accelerate the circulation of refrigerant and lower the temperature, and when the temperature inside the refrigeration compartment reaches a set value, the operation of the compressor will slow down or stop to save energy and maintain a stable temperature.

[0046] The power supply system 11 can be used to connect the external power source 2, and the power supply system 11 is also connected to the temperature adjustment system 12 for supplying power to the temperature adjustment system 12.

[0047] Specifically, as shown in the power supply system 11 includes: Figure 1

[0048] The energy storage battery 101 is used to store electric energy.

[0049] The direct current power supply circuit 102 is connected to the energy storage battery 101 and the temperature adjustment system 12 respectively, and can also be used to connect the external power source 2.

[0050] The control circuit 103 is connected to the direct current power supply circuit 102 and can be used to control the direct current power supply circuit 102.

[0051] More specifically, the control circuit 103 provided in the embodiments of the present application is specifically configured to:

[0052] When the direct current power supply circuit 102 is connected to the external direct current power source 2, the control circuit 103 controls the direct current power supply circuit 102 to make the external direct current power source 2 supply power to the temperature adjustment system 12 through the direct current power supply circuit 102, or the control circuit 103 controls the direct current power supply circuit 102 to make the external direct current power source 2 supply power to the temperature adjustment system 12 through the direct current power supply circuit 102, and at the same time, make the external direct current power source 2 charge the energy storage battery through the direct current power supply circuit 102.

[0053] When the direct current power supply circuit 102 is not connected to the external direct current power source 2, the control circuit 103 controls the direct current power supply circuit 102 to make the energy storage battery 101 supply power to the temperature adjustment system 12 through the direct current power supply circuit 102.

[0054] In the embodiments of the present application, the direct current power supply circuit 102 can be used to receive direct current provided by the external direct current power source 2, so as to provide direct current to the temperature adjustment system 12 and provide direct current to the energy storage battery 101, and can also be used to receive direct current provided by the energy storage battery 101, so as to provide direct current to the temperature adjustment system 12.

[0055] As can be seen, the direct current power supply circuit 102 does not perform conversion processing on the direct current during processing of the direct current, so the power supply system 11 of the refrigerator 1 provided in the embodiments does not need to be provided with a direct current to alternating current conversion circuit for converting direct current into alternating current, and also does not need to be provided with an alternating current related processing circuit, thereby reducing the structural complexity of the power supply system 11 and improving the efficiency of the refrigerator 1 in processing direct current when connected to the external direct current power source 2.

[0056] ​In summary, this embodiment provides a refrigerator 1 that can directly receive and use DC power provided by an external DC power source 2. This refrigerator 1 has high efficiency in supplying power to the load and charging the energy storage battery 101 based on DC power. Actual measurements show that, compared to existing technologies, the DC power supply circuit of the refrigerator 1 provided in this embodiment can improve power efficiency by more than 10%.

[0057] Figure 2 A circuit structure diagram of an embodiment of the refrigerator provided in this application is shown below. Figure 2 It shows Figure 1 A specific circuit implementation of the power supply system 11 and the temperature regulation system 12. Specifically, as shown... Figure 2 The DC power supply circuit 102 shown includes:

[0058] The first switch module 1021 has a first terminal for receiving DC power from an external DC power supply 2, and a second terminal connected to the temperature adjustment system 2. When the first switch module 1021 is turned on, the DC power from the external DC power supply 2 can supply power to the temperature adjustment system 12 via the first switch module 1021; alternatively, when the first switch module 1021 is turned on, the DC power from the external DC power supply 2 can charge the energy storage battery 101 via the first switch module 1021.

[0059] The second switch module 1022 has its first end connected to the energy storage battery 101 and its second end connected to the temperature regulation system 2. When the second switch module 1022 is turned on, the DC power provided by the energy storage battery 101 can be supplied to the temperature regulation system 12 through the first switch module 1022.

[0060] The DC power supply circuit 102 of the refrigerator provided in this embodiment realizes the processing of supplying power from the external DC power supply 2 to the temperature adjustment system, charging the energy storage battery 101, and supplying power from the energy storage battery 101 to the temperature adjustment system 12 through the first switch module 1021 and the second switch module 1022. The structure of the switch module is relatively simple and the processing logic is relatively simple, thereby reducing the hardware and software implementation requirements and implementation difficulty of the control circuit 103, and also reducing the hardware cost required to implement the DC power supply circuit 102.

[0061] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2The direct current power supply circuit 102 shown further comprises an electromagnetic interference (EMI) module 1023 and a filter module 1024. The first end of the EMI module 1023 is connected to the external direct current power supply 2, the second end of the EMI module 1023 is connected to the first end of the filter module 1024, and the second end of the filter module 1024 is connected to the first end of the first switch module 1021. The EMI module 1023 is configured to filter electromagnetic interference signals in the direct current, and the filter module 1024 is configured to filter noise signals in the direct current. In the direct current power supply circuit 102 provided in the embodiment, the direct current is processed by the EMI module 1023 and the filter module 1024, which can improve the effectiveness and stability of the direct current and further improve the power supply efficiency of the direct current power supply circuit 11 based on the direct current.

[0062] In an embodiment, the first switch module 1021 can be a first MOS tube, a first IGBT, or a first relay. The second switch module 1022 can be a second MOS tube, a second IGBT, or a second relay. In the embodiment, by providing multiple implementation modes of different switch modules, the setting flexibility of the direct current power supply circuit 11 can be improved, so that it can be applied to more different scenarios.

[0063] In an embodiment, the control circuit 103 is further connected to the external power supply 2, for example Figure 2 In the example shown, the control circuit 103 is connected to the external power supply 2 through the filter module 1024 and the EMI module 1023. The control circuit 103 can obtain the first voltage provided by the filter module 1024 to the first end of the first switch module 1021, and determine whether the direct current power supply circuit 102 is connected to the external power supply 2 and other information according to the first voltage.

[0064] In an embodiment, the control circuit 103 is further connected to the energy storage battery 101. The control circuit 101 can obtain the second voltage provided by the energy storage battery 101 to the first end of the second switch module 1022, and determine the state of charge (SOC) of the energy storage battery 101 and other information according to the second voltage.

[0065] Then, the control circuit 103 can control the first switch module 1021 and the second switch module 1022 according to whether the direct current power supply circuit 11 is connected to the external power supply and the state of charge of the energy storage battery 101 and other information.

[0066] In an embodiment, the control circuit 103 can further receive a first conduction instruction sent by the main control and frequency conversion module 15 of the refrigerator 1, and control the first switch module 1021 to conduct according to the first conduction instruction. The control circuit 103 can further receive a second conduction instruction sent by the main control and frequency conversion module 15 of the refrigerator 1, and control the second switch module 1022 to conduct according to the second conduction instruction.

[0067] In an embodiment, the control circuit 103 is specifically configured to:

[0068] When the DC power supply circuit 102 is connected to the external DC power supply 2, and the remaining power of the energy storage battery 101 is greater than the first preset power value, and the first conduction instruction and the second conduction instruction are received, the control circuit 103 controls the first switch module 1021 to be conductive, and controls the second switch module 1022 to be conductive, so that the external DC power supply 2 supplies power to the temperature adjustment system 12 through the first switch module 1021, and charges the energy storage battery 101 through the first switch module 1021 and the second switch module 1022.

[0069] When the DC power supply circuit 102 is connected to the external DC power supply 2, and the remaining power of the energy storage battery 101 is greater than the first preset power value, and the first conduction instruction is received, the control circuit 103 controls the first switch module 1021 to be conductive, and controls the second switch module 1022 to be conductive, so that the external DC power supply 2 supplies power to the temperature adjustment system 12 through the first switch module 1021, and charges the energy storage battery 101 through the first switch module 1021 and the second switch module 1022.

[0070] When the DC power supply circuit 102 is connected to the external DC power supply 2, and the remaining power of the energy storage battery 101 is less than or equal to the first preset power value, and the first conduction instruction is received, the control circuit 103 controls the first switch module 1021 to be conductive, and controls the second switch module 1022 to be disconnected, so that the external DC power supply 2 supplies power to the temperature adjustment system 12 through the first switch module 1021.

[0071] When the DC power supply circuit 102 is not connected to the external DC power supply 2, and the remaining power of the energy storage battery 101 is greater than the second preset power value, the control circuit 103 controls the second switch module 1022 to be conductive, so that the energy storage battery 101 supplies power to the temperature adjustment system 12 through the second switch module 1022. Alternatively, when the DC power supply circuit 102 is not connected to the external DC power supply 2, and the remaining power of the energy storage battery 101 is greater than the second preset power value, and the second conduction instruction is received, the control circuit 103 controls the second switch module 1022 to be conductive, so that the energy storage battery 101 supplies power to the temperature adjustment system 12 through the second switch module 1022.

[0072] The specific values of the first power preset value and the second power preset value in the embodiments of the present application are not limited, and can be preset or configured in advance by the control circuit 103. The first power preset value is greater than the second power preset value.

[0073] In summary, the direct current power supply circuit 11 of the refrigerator 1 provided in the embodiment can control the direct current power supply circuit 11 in different states such as whether the external direct current power supply 2 is connected, the remaining power of the energy storage battery 101, and the like, thereby improving the control logic of the control circuit 103 and the control granularity, and further improving the use scenarios of the refrigerator 1 provided in the embodiment.
