[0012] The refrigerating system provided in the present application can be used in a refrigerating device, and the refrigerating device may be a refrigerator. In some technical solutions, the refrigerating device comprises the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber, the refrigerating chamber is configured to refrigerate food ingredients, the freezing chamber is configured to freeze food ingredients, and the temperature of the refrigerating chamber is higher than the temperature of the freezing chamber. The refrigerating system is configured to adjust the temperatures of the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber, to keep the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber within a preset low temperature range. The refrigerating system is defined below.
[0013] The refrigerating system comprises the compressor, the condenser, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator, wherein, the freezing evaporator is configured to cool the freezing chamber, and the refrigeration evaporator is configured to cool the refrigerating chamber. The refrigerant is provided in the refrigerating system, and the refrigerant can flow among the compressor, the condenser, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator to realize cooling and refrigerating the freezing chamber and the refrigerating chamber. Furthermore, to bring the compressor, the condenser, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator into communication with one another, the present application provides the first piping assembly, the second piping assembly and the third piping assembly in the refrigerating system. Wherein, the first piping assembly is configured to bring the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator into communication, and the refrigerant can circulate among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator through the first piping assembly. The second piping assembly is configured to connect the condenser to the first piping assembly, to enable the condenser to be in communication with the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator through the first piping assembly, and further enable the refrigerant to circulate among the compressor, the condenser, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator through the first piping assembly and the second piping assembly. The third piping assembly is configured to connect the refrigeration evaporator to the second piping assembly, to enable the refrigeration evaporator to be in communication with the freezing evaporator, the compressor and the condenser, and further enable the refrigerant to circulate among the compressor, the freezing evaporator, the refrigeration evaporator and the condenser through the first piping assembly, the second piping assembly and the third piping assembly.
[0014] Furthermore, the refrigerating device to which the refrigerating system is applied has a plurality of operating modes, which in some embodiments comprise the defrosting mode, a freezing mode and a dual refrigerating mode. It can be understood that after the freezing evaporator is used for a long time, a large amount of frost will be generated on the surface of the freezing evaporator. In order not to affect the operation of the freezing evaporator, it is necessary to defrost the freezing evaporator, and the refrigerating device can be made to enter the defrosting mode at this time. In the defrosting mode, the compressor is in communication with the refrigeration evaporator and the freezing evaporator, and the compressor, the refrigeration evaporator, the freezing evaporator and the condenser are isolated from the condenser. The refrigerant circulates sequentially among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator, and the refrigerant does not flow through the condenser. In some technical solutions, the refrigerant discharged from the compressor is a high-temperature and high-pressure gas. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flows into the freezing evaporator through the first piping assembly, and the refrigerant releases heat in the coil of the freezing evaporator to enable the freezing evaporator to perform defrosting. The temperature of the gaseous refrigerant decreases after heat release, and the refrigerant enters the refrigeration evaporator through the first piping assembly. The low-temperature refrigerant absorbs heat in the refrigeration evaporator, to achieve the effect of cooling the refrigerating chamber or maintaining the low temperature of the refrigerating chamber.
[0015] Furthermore, in the defrosting mode, in order to make the refrigerant only flow among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator and prevent the refrigerant from flowing to the condenser, the present application provides the first three-way valve, the second three-way valve and the third three-way valve in refrigerating system. By controlling the opening and closing states of different ports of the first three-way valve, the second three-way valve and the third three-way valve, different connection relationships between the compressor, the freezing evaporator, the refrigeration evaporator and the condenser are realized.

Two ends of the compressor exhaust pipe are respectively connected to the compressor and the inlet of the first three-way valve, and the refrigerant discharged from the compressor flows to the inlet of the first three-way valve through the compressor exhaust pipe. The second freezing evaporator connecting pipe is connected to the freezing evaporator, and two ends of the freezing evaporator inlet pipe are respectively connected to the first outlet of the first three-way valve and the second freezing evaporator connecting pipe.

In the freezing mode, the inlet of the first three-way valve and the second outlet of the first three-way valve are opened while the first outlet of the first three-way valve is closed, the second inlet of the second three-way valve and the outlet of the second three-way valve are opened while the first inlet of the second three-way valve is closed, and the inlet of the third three-way valve and the first outlet of the third three-way valve are opened, to make the refrigerant in the refrigerating system circulate sequentially among the compressor, the condenser and the freezing evaporator.

The second piping assembly comprises the condenser inlet pipe, the condenser liquid outlet pipe and the freezing evaporator liquid inlet pipe. The first three-way valve comprises the inlet, the first outlet and the second outlet. Two ends of the condenser inlet pipe are respectively connected to the second outlet of the first three-way valve and the condenser, and the condenser can be in communication with the compressor by opening the inlet of the first three-way valve and the second outlet of the first three-way valve and closing the first outlet of the first three-way valve.

[0021] The third three-way valve comprises the inlet, the first outlet and a second outlet. Two ends of the condenser liquid outlet pipe are respectively connected to the condenser and the inlet of the third three-way valve, and the refrigerant flows out of the condenser and then flows to the inlet of the third three-way valve through the condenser liquid outlet pipe. One end of the freezing evaporator liquid inlet pipe is connected to the first freezing evaporator connecting pipe and the first refrigeration evaporator connecting pipe, and the other end of the freezing evaporator liquid inlet pipe is connected to the first outlet of the third three-way valve. When the first outlet and the inlet of the third three-way valve are opened and the second outlet of the third three-way valve is closed, the refrigerant flows through the freezing evaporator liquid inlet pipe and the first freezing evaporator connecting pipe through the third three-way valve and then flows to the freezing evaporator. One end of the second freezing evaporator connecting pipe is connected to the second inlet of the second three-way valve, and the refrigerant flows out of the freezing evaporator and then flows to the second three-way valve through the second freezing evaporator connecting pipe. Since two ends of the compressor inlet pipe are connected to the outlet of the second three-way valve and the compressor, when the second inlet of the second three-way valve and the outlet of the second three-way valve are opened and the first inlet of the second three-way valve is closed, the refrigerant flows into the compressor inlet pipe through the second three-way valve and then flows back into the compressor, to realize the circulating of the refrigerant among the compressor, the condenser and the freezing evaporator.
[0022] In some technical solutions, exemplarily, the third piping assembly comprises a refrigeration evaporator liquid inlet pipe, two ends of which being respectively connected to the refrigeration evaporator and the second outlet of the third three-way valve; wherein, in the dual refrigerating mode, the inlet of the first three-way valve and the second outlet of the first three-way valve are opened and the first outlet of the first three-way valve is closed, the second inlet of the second three-way valve and the outlet of the second three-way valve are opened and the first inlet of the second three-way valve is closed, the inlet of the third three-way valve and the second outlet of the third three-way valve are opened and the first outlet of the third three-way valve is closed, to make the refrigerant in the refrigerating system circulate sequentially among the compressor, the condenser, the refrigeration evaporator and the freezing evaporator.

When the inlet of the third three-way valve and the second outlet of the third three-way valve are opened and the first outlet of the third three-way valve is closed, the refrigerant in the condenser liquid outlet pipe flows into the refrigeration evaporator through the third three-way valve. In addition, since the refrigeration evaporator is connected to the freezing evaporator through the first refrigeration evaporator connecting pipe and the first freezing evaporator connecting pipe, when the second inlet of the second three-way valve and the outlet of the second three-way valve are opened and the first inlet of the second three-way valve is closed, the refrigerant within the refrigeration evaporator can flow into the freezing evaporator, the freezing evaporator can be in communication with the compressor, and the refrigerant can circulate among the compressor, the condenser, the refrigeration evaporator and the freezing evaporator.

[0026] Furthermore, the second capillary section is disposed on the freezing evaporator liquid inlet pipe. In the freezing mode, after the refrigerant is discharged from the condenser, it flows through the second capillary section and enters the freezing evaporator. In the process that the refrigerant flows through the second capillary section, both the temperature and the pressure decrease to a certain extent to form the refrigerant in a low-temperature and low-pressure state. The refrigerant in the low-temperature and low-pressure state flows into the freezing evaporator to absorb heat, to enable the freezing evaporator to cool the freezing chamber or maintain the low-temperature state of the freezing chamber, to realize the refrigeration function of the freezing evaporator.
[0027] Furthermore, the third capillary section is disposed on the refrigeration evaporator liquid inlet pipe.

It should be indicated that in the case of no conflict, the embodiments and the features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other.

[0072] A refrigerating system 100 and a control method for a refrigerating system and a control apparatus 300 of a refrigerating system, a refrigerating device and a computer-readable storage medium according to some embodiments of the present application will be detailed hereinafter by referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 9.
[0073] According to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 1, the present application provides a refrigerating system 100, the refrigerating system 100 is used for a refrigerating device, and the refrigerating device comprises a refrigerating chamber and a freezing chamber. The refrigerating system 100 comprises: a compressor 110, a condenser 120, a freezing evaporator 130 configured to cool a freezing chamber, a refrigeration evaporator 140 configured to cool a refrigerating chamber, a first piping assembly 150 configured to communicate the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigeration evaporator 140, a second piping assembly 160 configured to connect the condenser 120 to the first piping assembly 150, a third piping assembly 170 configured to connect the refrigeration evaporator 140 to the second piping assembly 160, a first three-way valve 210 connected to the first piping assembly 150 and the second piping assembly 160, a second three-way valve 220 provided in the first piping assembly 150, and a third three-way valve 230 which is disposed on the second piping assembly 160 and connected to the third piping assembly 170; wherein, in a defrosting mode, the first three-way valve 210 and the second three-way valve 220 open the first piping assembly 150, the first three-way valve 210 blocks the second piping assembly 160 from the first piping assembly 150, and the third three-way valve 230 blocks the second piping assembly 160 from the first piping assembly 150 and blocks the second piping assembly 160 from the third piping assembly 170, and a refrigerant in the refrigerating system 100 circulates sequentially among the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigeration evaporator 140.
[0074] The refrigerating system 100 provided in the present application can be used in a refrigerating device, and the refrigerating device may be a refrigerator. In some embodiments, the refrigerating device comprises the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber, the refrigerating chamber is configured to refrigerate food ingredients, the freezing chamber is configured to freeze food ingredients, and the temperature of the refrigerating chamber is higher than the temperature of the freezing chamber. The refrigerating system 100 is configured to adjust the temperatures of the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber, to keep the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber within a preset low temperature range. The refrigerating system 100 is defined below.
[0075] The refrigerating system 100 comprises the compressor 110, the condenser 120, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigeration evaporator 140, wherein, the freezing evaporator 130 is configured to cool the freezing chamber, and the refrigeration evaporator 140 is configured to cool the refrigerating chamber. The refrigerant is provided in the refrigerating system 100, and the refrigerant can flow among the compressor 110, the condenser 120, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigeration evaporator 140 to realize cooling and refrigerating the freezing chamber and the refrigerating chamber. Furthermore, to bring the compressor 110, the condenser 120, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigeration evaporator 140 into communication with one another, the present application provides the first piping assembly 150, the second piping assembly 160 and the third piping assembly 170 in the refrigerating system 100. Wherein, the first piping assembly 150 is configured to communicate the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigeration evaporator 140, and the refrigerant can circulate among the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigeration evaporator 140 through the first piping assembly. The second piping assembly 160 is configured to connect the condenser 120 to the first piping assembly 150, to enable the condenser 120 to be in communication with the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigeration evaporator 140 through the first piping assembly 150, and further enable the refrigerant to circulate among the compressor 110, the condenser 120, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigeration evaporator 140 through the first piping assembly 150 and the second piping assembly 160. The third piping assembly 170 is configured to connect the refrigeration evaporator 140 to the second piping assembly 160, to enable the refrigeration evaporator 140 to be in communication with the freezing evaporator 130, the compressor 110 and the condenser 120, and further enable the refrigerant to circulate among the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130, the refrigeration evaporator 140 and the condenser 120 through the first piping assembly 150, the second piping assembly 160 and the third piping assembly 170.
[0076] Furthermore, the refrigerating device to which the refrigerating system 100 is applied has a plurality of operating modes, which in some embodiments comprise a defrosting mode, a freezing mode and a dual refrigerating mode. It can be understood that after the freezing evaporator 130 is used for a long time, a large amount of frost will be generated on the surface of the freezing evaporator 130. In order not to affect the operation of the freezing evaporator 130, it is necessary to defrost the freezing evaporator 130, and the refrigerating device can be made to enter the defrosting mode at this time. In the defrosting mode, the compressor 110 is in communication with the refrigeration evaporator 140 and the freezing evaporator 130, and the compressor 110, the refrigeration evaporator 140 and the freezing evaporator 130 are isolated from the condenser 120. The refrigerant circulates sequentially among the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigeration evaporator 140, and the refrigerant does not flow through the condenser 120. In some embodiments, the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 110 is a high-temperature and high-pressure gas. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flows into the freezing evaporator 130 through the first piping assembly 150, and the refrigerant releases heat in the coil of the freezing evaporator 130 to enable the freezing evaporator 130 to perform defrosting. The temperature of the gaseous refrigerant decreases after heat release, and the refrigerant enters the refrigeration evaporator 140 through the first piping assembly 150. The low-temperature refrigerant absorbs heat in the refrigeration evaporator 140, to achieve the effect of cooling the refrigerating chamber or maintaining the low temperature of the refrigerating chamber.
[0077] Furthermore, in the defrosting mode, in order to make the refrigerant only flow among the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigeration evaporator 140 and prevent the refrigerant from flowing to the condenser 120, the present application provides the first three-way valve 210, the second three-way valve 220 and the third three-way valve 230 in refrigerating system 100. By controlling the opening and closing states of different ports of the first three-way valve 210, the second three-way valve 220 and the third three-way valve 230, different connection relationships among the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130, the refrigeration evaporator 140 and the condenser 120 are realized. In some embodiments, the first three-way valve 210 is connected to the first piping assembly 150 and the second piping assembly 160, the second three-way valve 220 is disposed on the first piping assembly 150, and the third three-way valve 230 is disposed on the second piping assembly 160 and connected to the third piping assembly 170. In the defrosting mode, the first three-way valve 210 and the second three-way valve 220 open the first piping assembly 150, the first three-way valve 210 blocks the second piping assembly 160 from the first piping assembly 150, and the third three-way valve 230 blocks the second piping assembly 160 from the first piping assembly 150 and blocks the second piping assembly 160 from the third piping assembly 170, to make the refrigerant in the refrigerating system 100 circulate sequentially among the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigeration evaporator 140.
[0078] By arranging the first piping assembly 150, the second piping assembly 160 and the third piping assembly 170 in the refrigerating system 100, the connection among the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130, the refrigeration evaporator 140 and the condenser 120 can be realized through the above piping assemblies. By arranging the first three-way valve 210, the second three-way valve 220 and the third three-way valve 230 in the refrigerating system 100, the connection and disconnection of the first piping assembly 150, the second piping assembly 160 and the third piping assembly 170 can be realized through the above three-way valves, and the connection relationship between the above piping assemblies can be adjusted. In the defrosting mode, by controlling the opening and closing states of respective ports of the first three-way valve 210, the second three-way valve 220 and the third three-way valve 230, the connection among the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigeration evaporator 140 can be realized, and the connection of the condenser 120 with the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigeration evaporator 140 is blocked, and the refrigerant only flows among the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigeration evaporator 140 and is prevented from flowing to the condenser 120. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 110 can dissipate heat after flowing into the freezing evaporator 130, thus realizing defrosting of the freezing evaporator 130. Adopting the above method for defrosting the freezing evaporator 130 can improve the defrosting efficiency, reduce energy consumption, lower the temperature difference of the freezing chamber, and prolong a food preservation period; in addition, cold energy can be continuously supplied to the refrigerating chamber during defrosting, which lowers or maintains the temperature of the refrigerating chamber at the same time and avoids temperature rise of the refrigerating chamber during defrosting; meanwhile, the refrigerant does not flow through the condenser 120 during defrosting, and the condenser 120 of most refrigerators is attached to both sides of side plates of the refrigerator, and thus this can avoid water condensation caused by an excessively low temperature of the side plates due to the low-temperature refrigerant in the condenser 120, then avoid customer complaints, and improve product quality and reliability.
[0079] In some embodiments, exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 1, the first piping assembly 150 comprises: a compressor exhaust pipe 151, two ends of which being respectively connected to the compressor 110 and an inlet 211 of the first three-way valve; a second freezing evaporator connecting pipe 152 connected to the freezing evaporator 130; a freezing evaporator inlet pipe 153, two ends of which being respectively connected to a first outlet 212 of the first three-way valve and the second freezing evaporator connecting pipe 152; a first freezing evaporator connecting pipe 154, connected to the freezing evaporator 130; a first refrigeration evaporator connecting pipe 155, two ends of which being respectively connected to the first freezing evaporator connecting pipe 154 and the refrigeration evaporator 140; a refrigeration evaporator outlet pipe 156, two ends of which being respectively connected to the refrigeration evaporator 140 and a first inlet 221 of the second three-way valve; a compressor inlet pipe 157, two ends of which being respectively connected to an outlet 223 of the second three-way valve and the compressor 110; wherein, in the defrosting mode, the inlet 211 of the first three-way valve and the first outlet 212 of the first three-way valve are opened, and the first inlet 221 and the outlet of the second three-way valve are opened.
[0080] In the embodiments, the first piping assembly 150 is defined. The first piping assembly 150 comprises the compressor exhaust pipe 151, the second freezing evaporator connecting pipe 152, the freezing evaporator inlet pipe 153, the first freezing evaporator connecting pipe 154, the first refrigeration evaporator connecting pipe 155, the refrigeration evaporator outlet pipe 156 and the compressor inlet pipe 157.
[0081] In some embodiments, the first three-way valve 210 comprises the inlet, the first outlet and a second outlet. Two ends of the compressor exhaust pipe 151 are respectively connected to the compressor 110 and the inlet 211 of the first three-way valve, and the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 110 flows to the inlet 211 of the first three-way valve through the compressor exhaust pipe 151. The second freezing evaporator connecting pipe 152 is connected to the freezing evaporator 130, and two ends of the freezing evaporator inlet pipe 153 are respectively connected to the first outlet 212 of the first three-way valve and the second freezing evaporator connecting pipe 152. When the inlet 211 of the first three-way valve and the first outlet 212 of the first three-way valve are opened, the refrigerant flows out of the first outlet 212 of the first three-way valve, sequentially passes through the freezing evaporator inlet pipe 153 and the second freezing evaporator connecting pipe 152, and then flows into the freezing evaporator 130. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant dissipates heat inside the freezing evaporator 130 to realize the defrosting effect on the freezing evaporator 130. The first freezing evaporator connecting pipe 154 is connected to the freezing evaporator 130, and two ends of the first refrigeration evaporator connecting pipe 155 are respectively connected to the first freezing evaporator connecting pipe 154 and the refrigeration evaporator 140, and the refrigerant discharged from the freezing evaporator 130 sequentially flows the first freezing evaporator connecting pipe 154 and the first refrigeration evaporator connecting pipe 155 and then enters the refrigeration evaporator 140. The temperature of the refrigerant decreases after the refrigerant dissipates heat in the freezing evaporator 130, and the refrigerant with a decreased temperature can absorb heat in the refrigeration evaporator 140 to enable the refrigeration evaporator 140 to cool the refrigerating chamber or keep the refrigerating chamber at a low temperature. The second three-way valve 220 comprises the first inlet, the second inlet and the outlet. Two ends of the refrigeration evaporator outlet pipe 156 are respectively connected to the refrigeration evaporator 140 and the first inlet 221 of the second three-way valve, and the refrigerant flows out of the refrigeration evaporator 140 and then flows to the first inlet 221 of the second three-way valve through the refrigeration evaporator outlet pipe 156. Two ends of the compressor inlet pipe 157 are respectively connected to the outlet 223 of the second three-way valve and the compressor 110. When the first inlet 221 and the outlet of the second three-way valve are opened, the refrigerant passes through the second three-way valve 220 and then flows back into the compressor 110 through the compressor inlet pipe 157. Thus, it is achieved that the refrigerant can circulate among the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigeration evaporator 140 in the defrosting mode, and the defrosting effect on the freezing evaporator 130 is achieved.
[0082] In the defrosting mode, by opening the inlet 211 of the first three-way valve and the first outlet 212 of the first three-way valve, and opening the first inlet 221 and the outlet of the second three-way valve, the refrigerant can be made to circulate among the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigeration evaporator 140, and the refrigerant is prevented from flowing into the condenser 120, to achieve the defrosting effect on the freezing evaporator 130.

One end of the second freezing evaporator connecting pipe 152 is connected to the second inlet 222 of the second three-way valve, and the refrigerant flows out of the freezing evaporator 130 and then flows to the second three-way valve 220 through the second freezing evaporator connecting pipe 152. Since two ends of the compressor inlet pipe 157 are connected to the outlet 223 of the second three-way valve and the compressor 110, when the second inlet 222 of the second three-way valve and the outlet 223 of the second three-way valve are opened and the first inlet 221 of the second three-way valve is closed, the refrigerant flows into the compressor inlet pipe 157 through the second three-way valve 220 and then flows back into the compressor 110, to realize the circulating of the refrigerant among the compressor 110, the condenser 120 and the freezing evaporator 130.

[0087] In some embodiments, exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 3, the third piping assembly 170 comprises a refrigeration evaporator liquid inlet pipe 171, two ends of which being respectively connected to the refrigeration evaporator 140 and the second outlet of the third three-way valve; wherein, in the dual refrigerating mode, the inlet of the first three-way valve and the second outlet 213 of the first three-way valve are opened and the first outlet 212 of the first three-way valve is closed, the second inlet 222 of the second three-way valve and the outlet 223 of the second three-way valve are opened and the first inlet 221 of the second three-way valve is closed, the inlet 231 of the third three-way valve and the second outlet 233 of the third three-way valve are opened and the first outlet 232 of the third three-way valve is closed, to make the refrigerant in the refrigerating system 100 circulate sequentially among the compressor 110, the condenser 120, the refrigeration evaporator 140 and the freezing evaporator 130.
[0088] In the embodiments, the structure of the third piping assembly 170 is defined. The third piping assembly 170 comprises the refrigeration evaporator liquid inlet pipe 171. The third three-way valve 230 comprises the inlet, the first outlet and the second outlet. Two ends of the refrigeration evaporator liquid inlet pipe 171 are respectively connected to the refrigeration evaporator 140 and the second outlet 233 of the third three-way valve. When the inlet 231 of the third three-way valve and the second outlet 233 of the third three-way valve are opened and the first outlet 232 of the third three-way valve is closed, the refrigerant in the condenser liquid outlet pipe 162 flows into the refrigeration evaporator 140 through the third three-way valve 230. In addition, since the refrigeration evaporator 140 is connected to the freezing evaporator 130 through the first refrigeration evaporator connecting pipe 155 and the first freezing evaporator connecting pipe 154, when the second inlet 222 of the second three-way valve and the outlet 223 of the second three-way valve are opened and the first inlet 221 of the second three-way valve is closed, the refrigerant inside the refrigeration evaporator 140 can flow into the freezing evaporator 130, and the freezing evaporator 130 can be in communication with the compressor 110, to make the refrigerant circulate among the compressor 110, the condenser 120, the refrigeration evaporator 140 and the freezing evaporator 130.

[0090] In some embodiments, exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the refrigerating system 100 further comprises: a first capillary section 270 disposed on the first freezing evaporator connecting pipe 154; a second capillary section 280 disposed on the freezing evaporator liquid inlet pipe 163; and a third capillary section 290 disposed on the refrigeration evaporator liquid inlet pipe 171.
[0091] In the embodiments, the refrigerating system 100 is further defined. The refrigerating system 100 further comprises the first capillary section 270, the second capillary section 280 and the third capillary section 290. Wherein, the first capillary section 270 is disposed on the first freezing evaporator connecting pipe 154. In the defrosting mode, the refrigerant discharged from the freezing evaporator 130 flows through the first capillary section 270 disposed on the first freezing evaporator connecting pipe 154 and then enters the refrigeration evaporator 140. It can be understood that the first capillary section 270 has the function of reducing the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant. In the defrosting mode, the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 110 is in a high-temperature and high-pressure state. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant dissipates heat and cools down after entering the freezing evaporator 130, thus achieving the defrosting effect on the freezing evaporator 130. The refrigerant after dissipating heat and cooling down becomes a medium-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant. The refrigerant flows through the first capillary section 270, and the first capillary section 270 reduces the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant to make the refrigerant become a refrigerant in a low-temperature and low-pressure state. The refrigerant in the low-temperature and low-pressure state flows into the refrigeration evaporator 140 to absorb heat, to enable the refrigeration evaporator 140 to cool the refrigerating chamber or maintain the low-temperature state of the refrigerating chamber, to realize the refrigeration function of the refrigeration evaporator 140.
[0092] Furthermore, the second capillary section 280 is disposed on the freezing evaporator liquid inlet pipe 163. In the freezing mode, after the refrigerant is discharged from the condenser 120, it flows through the second capillary section 280 and enters the freezing evaporator 130. In the process that the refrigerant flows through the second capillary section 280, both the temperature and the pressure decrease to a certain extent to form the refrigerant in the low-temperature and low-pressure state. The refrigerant in the low-temperature and low-pressure state flows into the freezing evaporator 130 to absorb heat, to enable the freezing evaporator 130 to cool the freezing chamber or maintain the low-temperature state of the freezing chamber, to realize the refrigeration function of the freezing evaporator 130.
[0093] Furthermore, the third capillary section 290 is disposed on the refrigeration evaporator liquid inlet pipe 171. In the dual refrigerating mode, after the refrigerant is discharged from the condenser 120, it flows through the third capillary section 290 and enters the refrigeration evaporator 140. In the process that the refrigerant flows through the third capillary section 290, both the temperature and the pressure decrease to a certain extent to form the refrigerant in the low-temperature and low-pressure state. The refrigerant in the low-temperature and low-pressure state flows into the refrigeration evaporator 140 to absorb heat, to enable the refrigeration evaporator 140 to cool the refrigerating chamber or maintain the low-temperature state of the refrigerating chamber, to realize the refrigeration function of the refrigeration evaporator 140.
[0094] By disposing the first capillary section 270 on the first freezing evaporator connecting pipe 154, disposing the second capillary section 280 on the freezing evaporator liquid inlet pipe 163, and disposing the third capillary section 290 on the refrigeration evaporator liquid inlet pipe 171, the refrigerant can be cooled and depressurized through the first capillary section 270, the second capillary section 280 and the third capillary section 290, to enable the refrigerant to absorb heat in the freezing evaporator 130 or the refrigeration evaporator 140, thus realizing the refrigeration functions of the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigeration evaporator 140.

In the defrosting mode, the freezing fan 250 and the condenser fan 260 stop operating, and the refrigerating fan 240 operates.
[0096] In the embodiments, the refrigerating system 100 is further defined. The refrigerating system 100 further comprises the freezing fan 250, the refrigerating fan 240 and the condenser fan 260. Wherein, the freezing fan 250 is provided adjacent to the freezing evaporator 130. When the freezing fan 250 is in operation, the freezing fan 250 can generate airflow near while in the freezing evaporator 130, and the airflow passes through the freezing evaporator 130 at a certain speed to form forced convective heat exchange, which can bring the cold energy of the freezing evaporator 130 into the freezing chamber to refrigerate the freezing chamber. Furthermore, the refrigerating fan 240 is provided adjacent to the refrigeration evaporator 140. When the refrigerating fan 240 is in operation, the refrigerating fan 240 can generate airflow near while in the refrigeration evaporator 140, and the airflow passes through the refrigeration evaporator 140 at a certain speed to form forced convective heat exchange, to bring the cold energy of the refrigeration evaporator 140 into the refrigerating chamber to refrigerate the refrigerating chamber. Furthermore, the condenser fan 260 is provided adjacent to the condenser 120.

The controller is further electrically connected to the freezing fan 250, the refrigerating fan 240 and the condenser fan 260. The controller is used to control the opening and closing of respective ports of the first three-way valve 210, the second three-way valve 220 and the third three-way valve 230, and control the operation of the freezing fan 250, the refrigerating fan 240 and the condenser fan 260.
[0101] It needs to be explained that the arrow in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 indicates the flowing direction of the refrigerant.
[0102] The second aspect of the present application further provides a refrigerating device, which comprises the refrigerating system provided in the first aspect of the present application.
[0103] The refrigerating device provided by the second aspect of the present application comprises the refrigerating system provided by the first aspect of the present application, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of the refrigerating system.
[0104] The refrigerating device may be a refrigerator.
[0105] The third aspect of the present application further provides a control method for a refrigerating system, which is applied to the refrigerating system provided in the first aspect of the present application.FIG.4is a first schematic flow chart of a control method for a refrigerating system according to an embodiment of the present application. Wherein, the control method comprises the steps S102 to S106 in the following: S102: receiving a defrosting instruction; S104: controlling a compressor, a freezing evaporator and a refrigeration evaporator to operate; S106: controlling a first three-way valve and a second three-way valve to open a first piping assembly, controlling the first three-way valve to block a second piping assembly from the first piping assembly, controlling a third three-way valve to block the second piping assembly from the first piping assembly and block the second piping assembly from a third piping assembly, to make a refrigerant in the refrigerating system circulate sequentially among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator.
[0106] The control method for a refrigerating system provided in the present application can be applied to the refrigerating system provided in the first aspect of the present application, the refrigerating system can be used in a refrigerating device, and the refrigerating device may be a refrigerator. In some embodiments, the refrigerating device comprises the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber, the refrigerating chamber is configured to refrigerate food ingredients, the freezing chamber is configured to freeze the food ingredients, and the temperature of the refrigerating chamber is higher than the temperature of the freezing chamber. The refrigerating system is configured to adjust the temperatures of the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber, to keep the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber within a preset low temperature range. The control method for a refrigerating system is defined below.
[0107] Firstly, the defrosting instruction is received, and then the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator in the refrigerating system are controlled to operate. The refrigerating system comprises the first piping assembly configured to connect the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator, and the technical effect of defrosting the freezing evaporator can be achieved by circulating the refrigerant among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator. Since the refrigerating system is provided with a plurality of piping assemblies, in order to realize different connection relationships among the compressor, the freezing evaporator, the refrigeration evaporator and the condenser, the present application further disposes the first three-way valve, the second three-way valve and the third three-way valve in the refrigerating system, and different connection relationships among the compressor, the freezing evaporator, the refrigeration evaporator and the condenser can be realized by controlling the opening and closing of respective ports of the first three-way valve, the second three-way valve and the third three-way valve.
[0108] In some embodiments, the first three-way valve is connected to the first piping assembly and the second piping assembly, the second three-way valve is disposed on the first piping assembly, and the third three-way valve is disposed on the second piping assembly and the third three-way valve is connected to the third piping assembly. After the defrosting instruction is received and the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator are controlled to operate, the first three-way valve and the second three-way valve are controlled to open the first piping assembly, the first three-way valve is controlled to block the second piping assembly from the first piping assembly, the third three-way valve is controlled to block the second piping assembly from the first piping assembly and block the second piping assembly from the third piping assembly, and thus the refrigerant can be made to circulate sequentially among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator, to achieve the defrosting effect on the freezing evaporator.
[0109] By adopting the above control method, through controlling the opening and closing states of respective ports of the first three-way valve, the second three-way valve and the third three-way valve, the connection among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator can be realized, and the connection of the condenser with the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator is blocked, and the refrigerant only flows among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator and is prevented from flowing to the condenser. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor can dissipate heat after flowing into the freezing evaporator, thus realizing defrosting of the freezing evaporator. Adopting the above method for defrosting the freezing evaporator can improve the defrosting efficiency, reduce energy consumption, lower the temperature difference of the freezing chamber, and prolong a food preservation period; in addition, cold energy can be continuously supplied to the refrigerating chamber during defrosting, which lowers or maintains the temperature of the refrigerating chamber at the same time and avoids temperature rise of the refrigerating chamber during defrosting; meanwhile, the refrigerant does not flow through the condenser during defrosting, and the condenser of most refrigerators is attached to both sides of side plates of the refrigerator, and thus this can avoid water condensation caused by an excessively low temperature of the side plates due to the low-temperature refrigerant in the condenser, then avoid customer complaints, and improve product quality and reliability.
[0110] In an embodiment of the present application, the first piping assembly comprises the compressor exhaust pipe, the second freezing evaporator connecting pipe, the freezing evaporator inlet pipe, the refrigeration evaporator outlet pipe, the first freezing evaporator connecting pipe, the first refrigeration evaporator connecting pipe and the compressor inlet pipe.FIG.5 is a second schematic flow chart of the control method for a refrigerating system according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0115] In the embodiments, the control method for a refrigerating system is further defined. The refrigerating system further comprises the freezing fan, the refrigerating fan and the condenser fan. Wherein, the freezing fan is provided adjacent to the freezing evaporator. When the freezing fan is in operation, the freezing fan can generate airflow near while in the freezing evaporator, and the airflow passes through the freezing evaporator at a certain speed to form forced convective heat exchange, which can bring the cold energy of the freezing evaporator into the freezing chamber to refrigerate the freezing chamber. Furthermore, the refrigerating fan is provided adjacent to the refrigeration evaporator.

The refrigerating system comprises a compressor, a freezing evaporator, a refrigeration evaporator, a first piping assembly, a second piping assembly, a third piping assembly, a first three-way valve, a second three-way valve and a third three-way valve. The control apparatus 300 of a refrigerating system comprises: a control module 320 for controlling the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator to operate; and an instruction receiving module 310 for receiving a defrosting instruction; the control module 320 is further configured to control the first three-way valve and the second three-way valve to open the first piping assembly, controlling the first three-way valve to block the second piping assembly from the first piping assembly, and controlling the third three-way valve to block the second piping assembly from the first piping assembly and block the second piping assembly from the third three-way valve, to make a refrigerant in the refrigerating system circulate among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator.
[0122] The control apparatus 300 of a refrigerating system provided in the present application can be applied to a refrigerating device, and the refrigerating device may be a refrigerator. In some embodiments, the refrigerating device comprises a refrigerating chamber and a freezing chamber, the refrigerating chamber is configured to refrigerate food ingredients, the freezing chamber is configured to freeze food ingredients, and the temperature of the refrigerating chamber is higher than the temperature of the freezing chamber. The refrigerating system is configured to adjust the temperatures of the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber, to keep the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber within a preset low temperature range. The control apparatus 300 of a refrigerating system is defined below.
[0123] The refrigerating system comprises the compressor, the freezing evaporator, the refrigeration evaporator, the first piping assembly, the second piping assembly and the first three-way valve. The control apparatus 300 of a refrigerating system comprises the control module 320 and the instruction receiving module 310. Wherein, the instruction receiving module 310 is configured to receive a defrosting instruction, and the control module 320 is configured to control the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator to operate. The refrigerating system comprises the first piping assembly configured to connect the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator, and the technical effect of defrosting the freezing evaporator can be achieved by circulating the refrigerant among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator. Since the refrigerating system is provided with a plurality of piping assemblies, in order to realize different connection relationships among the compressor, the freezing evaporator, the refrigeration evaporator and the condenser, the present application further disposes the first three-way valve, the second three-way valve and the third three-way valve in the refrigerating system, and different connection relationships among the compressor, the freezing evaporator, the refrigeration evaporator and the condenser can be realized by controlling the opening and closing of respective ports of the first three-way valve, the second three-way valve and the third three-way valve. The control module 320 is further configured to control the opening and closing of respective ports of the first three-way valve, the second three-way valve and the third three-way valve.
[0124] The control module 320 is further configured to control the first three-way valve and the second three-way valve to open the first piping assembly, controlling the first three-way valve to block the second piping assembly from the first piping assembly, and controlling the third three-way valve to block the second piping assembly from the first piping assembly and block the second piping assembly from the third piping assembly, to make the refrigerant in the refrigerating system circulate sequentially among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator. In some embodiments, the first three-way valve is connected to the first piping assembly and the second piping assembly, the second three-way valve is disposed on the first piping assembly, and the third three-way valve is disposed on the second piping assembly and connected to the third piping assembly. After the defrosting instruction is received and the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator are controlled to operate, the first three-way valve and the second three-way valve are controlled to open the first piping assembly, the first three-way valve is controlled to block the second piping assembly from the first piping assembly, and the third three-way valve is controlled to block the second piping assembly from the first piping assembly and block the second piping assembly from the third dipping assembly. Thus, the refrigerant can be made to circulate sequentially among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator, to achieve the defrosting effect on the freezing evaporator.
[0125] By adopting the above control apparatus, by controlling the opening and closing states of respective ports of the first three-way valve, the second three-way valve and the third three-way valve, the connection among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator can be realized, and the connection of the condenser with the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator is blocked, and the refrigerant only flows among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigeration evaporator and is prevented from flowing to the condenser. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor can dissipate heat after flowing into the freezing evaporator, thus realizing defrosting of the freezing evaporator. Adopting the above control apparatus for defrosting the freezing evaporator can improve the defrosting efficiency, reduce energy consumption, lower the temperature difference of the freezing chamber, and prolong the food preservation period; in addition, cold energy can be continuously supplied to the refrigerating chamber during defrosting, which lowers or maintains the temperature of the refrigerating chamber at the same time and avoids temperature rise of the refrigerating chamber during defrosting; meanwhile, the refrigerant does not flow through the condenser during defrosting, and the condenser of most refrigerators is attached to both sides of side plates of the refrigerator, and thus this can avoid water condensation caused by an excessively low temperature of the side plates due to the low-temperature refrigerant in the condenser, then avoid customer complaints, and improve product quality and reliability.
