[0011] To achieve at least one of the above purposes, according to a first aspect of the present application, a refrigeration system is provided, the refrigeration system is used for a refrigeration apparatus, and the refrigeration apparatus comprises a refrigerating chamber and a freezing chamber; the refrigeration system comprises: a compressor, a condenser, a freezing evaporator configured to cool the freezing chamber, a refrigerating evaporator configured to cool the refrigerating chamber, a first pipeline assembly configured to communicate the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator, a second pipeline assembly configured to connect the condenser to the compressor and the freezing evaporator, a third pipeline assembly configured to connect the refrigerating evaporator to the second pipeline assembly, a first three-way valve connected to the first pipeline assembly and the second pipeline assembly, a second three-way valve provided on the first pipeline assembly, and a third three-way valve connected to the second pipeline assembly and the third pipeline assembly; wherein, in a defrosting mode, the first three-way valve and the second three-way valve open the first pipeline assembly, the first three-way valve blocks the second pipeline assembly from the first pipeline assembly, and the third three-way valve blocks the third pipeline assembly from the second pipeline assembly, and a refrigerant in the refrigeration system circulates sequentially among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator.

[0012] The refrigeration system provided in the present application can be used in a refrigeration apparatus, and the refrigeration apparatus may be a refrigerator. In some embodiments, the refrigeration apparatus 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 refrigeration 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 refrigeration system is defined below.

[0013] The refrigeration system comprises the compressor, the condenser, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator, wherein, the freezing evaporator is configured to cool the freezing chamber, and the refrigerating evaporator is configured to cool the refrigerating chamber. The refrigerant is provided in the refrigeration system, and the refrigerant can flow among the compressor, the condenser, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating 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 refrigerating evaporator into communication with one another, the present application provides the first pipeline assembly, the second pipeline assembly and the third pipeline assembly in the refrigeration system. Wherein, the first pipeline assembly is configured to bring the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator into communication, and the refrigerant can circulate among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator through the first pipeline assembly. The second pipeline assembly is configured to connect the condenser to the compressor and the freezing evaporator, to enable the condenser to be in communication with the compressor and the freezing evaporator, and further enable the refrigerant to circulate among the compressor, the condenser and the freezing evaporator through the first pipeline assembly and the second pipeline assembly. The third pipeline assembly is configured to connect the refrigerating evaporator to the second pipeline assembly, to enable the refrigerating evaporator to be in communication with the compressor and the condenser, and further enable the refrigerant to circulate among the compressor, the refrigerating evaporator and the condenser through the first pipeline assembly, the second pipeline assembly and the third pipeline assembly.

[0014] Furthermore, the refrigeration apparatus to which the refrigeration system is applied has a plurality of operating modes, which in some embodiments comprise a defrosting mode, a freezing mode and a 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 refrigeration apparatus can be made to enter the defrosting mode at this time. In the defrosting mode, the compressor is in communication with the refrigerating evaporator and the freezing evaporator, and the compressor, the refrigerating evaporator and the freezing evaporator are isolated from the condenser. The refrigerant circulates sequentially among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator, and the refrigerant does not flow through the condenser. In some embodiments, 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 pipeline 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 refrigerating evaporator through the first pipeline assembly. The low-temperature refrigerant absorbs heat in the refrigerating evaporator, to achieve the effect of cooling the refrigerating chamber or keeping 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 refrigerating 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 refrigeration 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 among the compressor, the freezing evaporator, the refrigerating evaporator and the condenser are realized. In some embodiments, the first three-way valve is connected to the first pipeline assembly and the second pipeline assembly, the second three-way valve is disposed on the first pipeline assembly, and the third three-way valve is connected to the second pipeline assembly and the third pipeline assembly. In the defrosting mode, the first three-way valve and the second three-way valve open the first pipeline assembly, the first three-way valve blocks the second pipeline assembly from the first pipeline assembly, and the third three-way valve blocks the third pipeline assembly from the second pipeline assembly, to make the refrigerant in the refrigeration system circulate sequentially among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator.

[0016] The above refrigeration system according to the present application may further comprise the following distinguishing technical features:

[0018] In the technical solutions, the first pipeline assembly is defined. The first pipeline assembly comprises the compressor exhaust pipe, the freezing evaporator inlet pipe, the freezing evaporator connecting pipe, the freezing evaporator outlet pipe, the refrigerating evaporator outlet pipe and the compressor inlet pipe.

[0019] In some embodiments, the first three-way valve comprises an inlet, a first outlet and a second outlet. 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 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 freezing evaporator. When the inlet of the first three-way valve and the first outlet of the first three-way valve are opened, the refrigerant flows out from the first outlet of the first three-way valve, sequentially passes through the freezing evaporator inlet pipe and the freezing evaporator connecting pipe, and then flows into the freezing evaporator. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant dissipates heat inside the freezing evaporator to realize the defrosting effect on the freezing evaporator. Two ends of the freezing evaporator outlet pipe are respectively connected to the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator, and the refrigerant discharged from the freezing evaporator sequentially flows through the freezing evaporator outlet pipe and enters the refrigerating evaporator. The temperature of the refrigerant decreases after the refrigerant dissipates heat in the freezing evaporator, and the refrigerant with a decreased temperature can absorb heat in the refrigerating evaporator to enable the refrigerating evaporator to cool the refrigerating chamber or keep the refrigerating chamber at a low temperature. The second three-way valve comprises the first inlet, a second inlet and an outlet. Two ends of the refrigerating evaporator outlet pipe are respectively connected to the refrigerating evaporator and the first inlet of the second three-way valve, and the refrigerant flows out of the refrigerating evaporator and then flows to the first inlet of the second three-way valve through the refrigerating evaporator outlet pipe. Two ends of the compressor inlet pipe are respectively connected to the outlet of the second three-way valve and the compressor. When the first inlet of the second three-way valve and the outlet of the second three-way valve are opened, the refrigerant passes through the second three-way valve and then flows back into the compressor through the compressor inlet pipe.

[0020] In some technical solutions, exemplarily, the second pipeline assembly comprises: a condenser inlet pipe, two ends of the condenser inlet pipe being respectively connected to a second outlet of the first three-way valve and the condenser; a condenser liquid outlet pipe, two ends of the condenser liquid outlet pipe being respectively connected to the condenser and the inlet of the third three-way valve; a freezing evaporator liquid inlet pipe, two ends of the freezing evaporator liquid inlet pipe being respectively connected to the freezing evaporator and the first outlet of the third three-way valve; wherein, one end of the freezing evaporator connecting pipe is connected to the second inlet of the second three-way valve. 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 refrigeration system circulate sequentially among the compressor, the condenser and the freezing evaporator.

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 and the second outlet of the first three-way valve and closing the first outlet of the first three-way valve. When the inlet 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 refrigerant discharged from the compressor flows into the condenser through the compressor exhaust pipe, the first three-way valve and the condenser inlet pipe. 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. Two ends of the freezing evaporator liquid inlet pipe are respectively connected to the freezing evaporator and 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 through the third three-way valve and then flows to the freezing evaporator. One end of the 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 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 pipeline assembly comprises a refrigerating evaporator liquid inlet pipe, two ends of which being respectively connected to the refrigerating evaporator and the second outlet of the third three-way valve; wherein, in the 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 first inlet of the second three-way valve and the outlet of the second three-way valve are opened and the second 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 refrigeration system circulate sequentially among the compressor, the condenser and the refrigerating 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 refrigerating evaporator through the third three-way valve. In addition, since the refrigerating evaporator is connected to the first inlet of the second three-way valve through the refrigerating evaporator outlet pipe, when the first inlet of the second three-way valve and the outlet of the second three-way valve are opened and the second inlet of the second three-way valve is closed, the refrigerant discharged from the refrigerating evaporator flows back into the compressor through the refrigerating evaporator outlet pipe, the second three-way valve and a compressor return pipe.

Wherein, the first capillary section is disposed on the freezing evaporator outlet pipe. In the defrosting mode, the refrigerant discharged from the freezing evaporator flows through the first capillary section disposed on the freezing evaporator outlet pipe and then enters the refrigerating evaporator. It can be understood that the first capillary section has the function of reducing the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant. In the defrosting mode, the refrigerant discharged from the compressor is in a high-temperature and high-pressure state.

[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 keep 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 refrigerating evaporator liquid inlet pipe. In the refrigerating mode, after the refrigerant is discharged from the condenser, it flows through the third capillary section and enters the refrigerating evaporator. In the process that the refrigerant flows through the third 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.

[0030] Furthermore, in the defrosting mode, the freezing fan and the condenser fan stop operating, and the refrigerating fan operates to improve the defrosting effect.

Therefore, the protection scope of the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following text.

[0072] A refrigeration system 100 and a control method for a refrigeration system and a control device 300 of a refrigeration system, a refrigeration apparatus 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 refrigeration system 100, the refrigeration system 100 is used for a refrigeration apparatus, and the refrigeration apparatus comprises a refrigerating chamber and a freezing chamber. The refrigeration system 100 comprises: a compressor 110, a condenser 120, a freezing evaporator 130 configured to cool a freezing chamber, a refrigerating evaporator 140 configured to cool a refrigerating chamber, a first pipeline assembly 150 configured to communicate the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigerating evaporator 140, a second pipeline assembly 160 configured to connect the condenser 120 to the compressor 110 and the freezing evaporator 130, a third pipeline assembly 170 configured to connect the refrigerating evaporator 140 to the second pipeline assembly 160, a first three-way valve 210 connected to the first pipeline assembly 150 and the second pipeline assembly 160, a second three-way valve 220 provided on the first pipeline assembly 150, and a third three-way valve 230 connected to the second pipeline assembly 160 and the third pipeline assembly 170; wherein, in a defrosting mode, the first three-way valve 210 and the second three-way valve 220 open the first pipeline assembly 150, the first three-way valve 210 blocks the second pipeline assembly 160 from the first pipeline assembly 150, and the third three-way valve 230 blocks the third pipeline assembly 170 from the second pipeline assembly 160, and a refrigerant in the refrigeration system 100 circulates sequentially among the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigerating evaporator 140.

[0074] The refrigeration system 100 provided in the present application can be used in a refrigeration apparatus, and the refrigeration apparatus may be a refrigerator. In some embodiments, the refrigeration apparatus 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 refrigeration 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 refrigeration system 100 is defined below.

[0075] The refrigeration system 100 comprises the compressor 110, the condenser 120, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigerating evaporator 140, wherein, the freezing evaporator 130 is configured to cool the freezing chamber, and the refrigerating evaporator 140 is configured to cool the refrigerating chamber. The refrigerant is provided in the refrigeration system 100, and the refrigerant can flow among the compressor 110, the condenser 120, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigerating 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 refrigerating evaporator 140 into communication with one another, the present application provides the first pipeline assembly 150, the second pipeline assembly 160 and the third pipeline assembly 170 in the refrigeration system 100. Wherein, the first pipeline assembly 150 is configured to communicate the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigerating evaporator 140, and the refrigerant can circulate among the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigerating evaporator 140 through the first pipeline assembly 150. The second pipeline assembly 160 is configured to connect the condenser 120 to the compressor 110 and the freezing evaporator 130, to enable the condenser 120 to be in communication with the compressor 110 and the freezing evaporator 130, and further enable the refrigerant to circulate among the compressor 110, the condenser 120 and the freezing evaporator 130 through the first pipeline assembly 150 and the second pipeline assembly 160. The third pipeline assembly 170 is configured to connect the refrigerating evaporator 140 to the second pipeline assembly 160, to enable the refrigerating evaporator 140 to be in communication with the compressor 110 and the condenser 120, and further enable the refrigerant to circulate among the compressor 110, the refrigerating evaporator 140 and the condenser 120 through the first pipeline assembly 150, the second pipeline assembly 160 and the third pipeline assembly 170.

[0076] Furthermore, the refrigeration apparatus to which the refrigeration system 100 is applied has a plurality of operating modes, which in some embodiments comprise a defrosting mode, a freezing mode and a 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 refrigeration apparatus can be made to enter the defrosting mode at this time. In the defrosting mode, the compressor 110 is in communication with the refrigerating evaporator 140 and the freezing evaporator 130, and the compressor 110, the refrigerating 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 refrigerating 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 pipeline 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 refrigerating evaporator 140 through the first pipeline assembly 150. The low-temperature refrigerant absorbs heat in the refrigerating evaporator 140, to achieve the effect of cooling the refrigerating chamber or keeping 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 refrigerating 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 refrigeration 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 refrigerating evaporator 140 and the condenser 120 are realized. In some embodiments, the first three-way valve 210 is connected to the first pipeline assembly 150 and the second pipeline assembly 160, the second three-way valve 220 is disposed on the first pipeline assembly 150, and the third three-way valve 230 is connected to the second pipeline assembly 160 and the third pipeline assembly 170. In the defrosting mode, the first three-way valve 210 and the second three-way valve 220 open the first pipeline assembly 150, the first three-way valve 210 blocks the second pipeline assembly 160 from the first pipeline assembly 150, and the third three-way valve 230 blocks the third pipeline assembly 170 from the second pipeline assembly 160, to make the refrigerant in the refrigeration system 100 circulate sequentially among the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigerating evaporator 140. The arrow direction in FIG. 1 is the flowing direction of the refrigerant.

[0078] By arranging the first pipeline assembly 150, the second pipeline assembly 160 and the third pipeline assembly 170 in the refrigeration system 100, the connection among the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130, the refrigerating evaporator 140 and the condenser 120 can be realized through the above pipeline assemblies. By arranging the first three-way valve 210, the second three-way valve 220 and the third three-way valve 230 in the refrigeration system 100, the connection and disconnection of the first pipeline assembly 150, the second pipeline assembly 160 and the third pipeline assembly 170 can be realized through the above three-way valves, and the connection relationship between the above pipeline 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 refrigerating evaporator 140 can be realized, and the connection of the condenser 120 with the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigerating evaporator 140 is blocked, and the refrigerant only flows among the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigerating 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 keeps 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 pipeline assembly 150 comprises: a compressor exhaust pipe 151, two ends of the compressor exhaust pipe 151 being respectively connected to the compressor 110 and an inlet 211 of the first three-way valve; a freezing evaporator inlet pipe 152; a freezing evaporator connecting pipe 153 connected to the freezing evaporator 130, two ends of the freezing evaporator inlet pipe 152 being respectively connected to a first outlet 212 of the first three-way valve and the freezing evaporator connecting pipe 153; a freezing evaporator outlet pipe 154, two ends of the freezing evaporator outlet pipe154being respectively connected to the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigerating evaporator 140; a refrigerating evaporator outlet pipe 155, two ends of the refrigerating evaporator outlet pipe 155 being respectively connected to the refrigerating evaporator 140 and a first inlet 221 of the second three-way valve; a compressor inlet pipe 156, two ends of the compressor inlet pipe 156 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 of the second three-way valve and the outlet of the second three-way valve are opened.

[0080] In the embodiments, the first pipeline assembly 150 is defined. The first pipeline assembly 150 comprises the compressor exhaust pipe 151, the freezing evaporator inlet pipe 152, the freezing evaporator connecting pipe 153, the freezing evaporator outlet pipe 154, the refrigerating evaporator outlet pipe 155 and the compressor inlet pipe 156.

[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 freezing evaporator connecting pipe 153 is connected to the freezing evaporator 130, and two ends of the freezing evaporator inlet pipe 152 are respectively connected to the first outlet 212 of the first three-way valve and the freezing evaporator 130. 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 152 and the freezing evaporator connecting pipe 153, 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. Two ends of the freezing evaporator outlet pipe 154 are respectively connected to the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigerating evaporator 140, and the refrigerant discharged from the freezing evaporator 130 sequentially flows through the first freezing evaporator connecting pipe 154 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 refrigerating evaporator 140 to enable the refrigerating 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 refrigerating evaporator outlet pipe 155 are respectively connected to the refrigerating evaporator 140 and the first inlet 221 of the second three-way valve, and the refrigerant flows out of the refrigerating evaporator and then flows to the first inlet 221 of the second three-way valve through the refrigerating evaporator outlet pipe 155. Two ends of the compressor inlet pipe 156 are respectively connected to the outlet 223 of the second three-way valve and the compressor 110. When the first inlet 221of the second three-way valve 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 pipe156. Thus, it is achieved that the refrigerant can circulate among the compressor 110, the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigerating evaporator 140inthe 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 refrigerating evaporator 140, and the refrigerant is prevented from flowing into the condenser 120, to achieve the defrosting effect on the freezing evaporator 130.

In the freezing mode, the inlet 211 of the first three-way valve and the second outlet 213 of the first three-way valve are opened while the first outlet of the first three-way valve is closed, the second inlet 222of the second three-way valve and the outlet 223 of the second three-way valve are opened while the first inlet 221 of the second three-way valve is closed, and the inlet 231 of the third three-way valve and the first outlet 232 of the third three-way valve are opened, to make the refrigerant in the refrigeration system 100 circulate sequentially among the compressor 110, the condenser 120 and the freezing evaporator 130.

[0084] In the embodiments, the structure of the second pipeline assembly 160 is defined. The second pipeline assembly 160 comprises the condenser inlet pipe 161, the condenser liquid outlet pipe 162 and the freezing evaporator liquid inlet pipe 163. The first three-way valve 210 comprises the inlet, the first outlet and the second outlet. Two ends of the condenser inlet pipe 161 are respectively connected to the second outlet 213 of the first three-way valve and the condenser 120, and the condenser 120 can be in communication with the compressor 110 by opening the inlet 211 and the second outlet of the first three-way valve and closing the first outlet 212 of the first three-way valve. When the inlet 211 and the second outlet of the first three-way valve are opened and the first outlet 212 of the first three-way valve is closed, the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 110 flows into the condenser 120 through the compressor exhaust pipe 151, the first three-way valve 210 and the condenser inlet pipe 161.

Since two ends of the compressor inlet pipe 156 are connected to the outlet 223 of the second three-way valve and the compressor 110, when the second inlet 222of 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 156 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.The arrow direction in FIG. 2 is the flowing direction of the refrigerant.

[0085] In the freezing mode, by controlling the inlet 211 of the first three-way valve and the second outlet 213 of the first three-way valve to open and the first outlet of the first three-way valve to close, the second inlet 222 of the second three-way valve and the outlet 223 of the second three-way valve to open and the first inlet 221 of the second three-way valve to close, and the inlet 231 of the third three-way valve and the first outlet 232 of the third three-way valve to open, it is achieved that the compressor 110, the condenser 120 and the refrigerating evaporator 140 are connected end to end, thus enabling the refrigerant to circulate sequentially among the compressor 110, the condenser 120 and the freezing evaporator 130, and realizing the refrigeration function of the freezing evaporator 130 for the freezing chamber.

[0087] In the embodiments, the structure of the third pipeline assembly 170 is defined. The third pipeline assembly 170 comprises the refrigerating 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 refrigerating evaporator liquid inlet pipe 171 are respectively connected to the refrigerating evaporator 140 and the second outlet 233 of the third three-way valve. When the inlet 231of 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 refrigerating evaporator 140 through the third three-way valve 230. In addition, since the refrigerating evaporator 140 is connected to the first inlet 221 of the second three-way valve through the refrigerating evaporator outlet pipe 155, when the first inlet 221of the second three-way valve and the outlet 223 of the second three-way valve are opened and the second inlet 222 of the second three-way valve is closed, the refrigerant discharged from the refrigerating evaporator 140 flows back into the compressor 110 through the refrigerating evaporator outlet pipe 155, the second three-way valve 220 and the compressor inlet pipe 156. The arrow direction in FIG. 3 is the flowing direction of the refrigerant.

[0088] In the refrigerating mode, by controlling the inlet 211 of the first three-way valve and the second outlet 213 of the first three-way valve to open and the first outlet 212 of the first three-way valve to close, the first inlet 221 of the second three-way valve and the outlet 223 of the second three-way valve to open and the second inlet 222 of the second three-way valve to close, and the inlet 231 of the third three-way valve and the second outlet 233 of the third three-way valve to open and the first outlet 232 of the third three-way valve to close, the compressor 110, the condenser 120 and the refrigerating evaporator 140 can be connected end to end in sequence, and the refrigerant is made to circulate sequentially among the compressor 110, the condenser 120 and the refrigerating evaporator 140, to realize the refrigeration function of the refrigerating evaporator 140 for the refrigerating chamber.

[0089] In some embodiments, exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the refrigeration system 100 further comprises: a first capillary section 270 disposed on the freezing evaporator outlet 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 refrigerating evaporator liquid inlet pipe 171.

[0090] In the embodiments, the refrigeration system 100 is further defined. The refrigeration 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 freezing evaporator outlet pipe 154. In the defrosting mode, the refrigerant discharged from the freezing evaporator 130 flows through the first capillary section 270 disposed on the freezing evaporator outlet pipe 154 and then enters the refrigerating 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 refrigerating evaporator 140 to absorb heat, to enable the refrigerating evaporator 140 to cool the refrigerating chamber or keep the low-temperature state of the refrigerating chamber, to realize the refrigeration function of the refrigerating evaporator 140.

[0091] 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 a 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 keep the low-temperature state of the freezing chamber, to realize the refrigeration function of the freezing evaporator 130.

[0092] Furthermore, the third capillary section 290 is disposed on the refrigerating evaporator liquid inlet pipe 171. In the refrigerating mode, after the refrigerant is discharged from the condenser 120, it flows through the third capillary section 290 and enters the refrigerating 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 a low-temperature and low-pressure state. The refrigerant in the low-temperature and low-pressure state flows into the refrigerating evaporator 140 to absorb heat, to enable the refrigerating evaporator 140 to cool the refrigerating chamber or keep the low-temperature state of the refrigerating chamber, to realize the refrigeration function of the refrigerating evaporator 140.

[0093] By disposing the first capillary section 270 on the freezing evaporator outlet 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 refrigerating 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 refrigerating evaporator 140, thus realizing the refrigeration functions of the freezing evaporator 130 and the refrigerating evaporator 140.

[0094] In some embodiments, exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the refrigeration system 100 further comprises: a freezing fan 250 provided adjacent to the freezing evaporator 130; a refrigerating fan 240 provided adjacent to the refrigerating evaporator 140; and a condenser fan 260 provided adjacent to the condenser 120. In the defrosting mode, the freezing fan 250 and the condenser fan 260 stop operating, and the refrigerating fan 240 operates.

[0095] In the embodiments, the refrigeration system 100 is further defined. The refrigeration 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 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 refrigerating evaporator 140. When the refrigerating fan 240 is in operation, the refrigerating fan 240 can generate airflow near the refrigerating evaporator 140, and the airflow passes through the refrigerating evaporator 140 at a certain speed to form forced convective heat exchange, to bring the cold energy of the refrigerating evaporator 140 into the refrigerating chamber to refrigerate the refrigerating chamber. Furthermore, the condenser fan 260 is provided adjacent to the condenser 120.

[0096] Furthermore, in the defrosting mode, the freezing fan 250 and the condenser fan 260 stop operating, and the refrigerating fan 240 operates to improve the defrosting effect.

[0097] In some embodiments, exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the refrigeration system 100 further comprises a plurality of filters 180 which are respectively provided on the first pipeline assembly 150 and the second pipeline assembly 160.

[0098] In the embodiments, the refrigeration system 100 is further defined. The refrigeration system 100 further comprises the plurality of filters 180, which are respectively disposed on the first pipeline assembly 150 and the second pipeline assembly 160.

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.

[0100] The second aspect of the present application further provides a refrigeration apparatus, which comprises the refrigeration system provided in the first aspect of the present application.

[0101] The refrigeration apparatus provided by the second aspect of the present application comprises the refrigeration system provided by the first aspect of the present application, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of the refrigeration system.

[0102] The refrigeration apparatus may be a refrigerator.

[0103] A third aspect of the present application further provides a control method for a refrigeration system, which is applied to the refrigeration system provided in the first aspect of the present application. FIG. 4 is a first schematic flow chart of a control method for a refrigeration system according to an embodiment of the present application. Wherein, the control method comprises the steps from S102 to S106 in the following: S102: receiving a defrosting instruction; S104: controlling a compressor, a freezing evaporator and a refrigerating evaporator to operate; S106: controlling a first three-way valve to open a first pipeline assembly and block the first pipeline assembly from a second pipeline assembly, to bring the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator into communication in sequence, and block a condenser from the first pipeline assembly.

[0104] The control method for a refrigeration system provided in the present application can be applied to the refrigeration system provided in the first aspect of the present application, the refrigeration system can be used in a refrigeration apparatus, and the refrigeration apparatus may be a refrigerator. In some embodiments, the refrigeration apparatus 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 refrigeration 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 refrigeration system is defined below.

[0105] Firstly, the defrosting instruction is received, and then the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator in the refrigeration system are controlled to operate. The refrigeration system comprises the first pipeline assembly configured to connect the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating 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 refrigerating evaporator. Since the refrigeration system is provided with a plurality of pipeline assemblies, in order to realize different connection relationships among the compressor, the freezing evaporator, the refrigerating 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 refrigeration system, and different connection relationships among the compressor, the freezing evaporator, the refrigerating 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.

[0106] In some embodiments, the first three-way valve is connected to the first pipeline assembly and the second pipeline assembly, the second three-way valve is disposed on the first pipeline assembly, and the third three-way valve is connected to the second pipeline assembly and the third pipeline assembly. After the defrosting instruction is received and the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator are controlled to operate, the first three-way valve is controlled to open the first pipeline assembly and block the first pipeline assembly from the second pipeline assembly, to bring the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator into communication with one another in sequence, and block the condenser from the first pipeline assembly. Thus, this method enables the refrigerant to circulate sequentially among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator, to achieve the defrosting effect on the freezing evaporator.

[0107] 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 refrigerating evaporator can be realized, and the connection of the condenser with the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator is blocked, and the refrigerant only flows among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating 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 keeps 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.

[0108] In an embodiment of the present application, the first pipeline assembly comprises the compressor exhaust pipe, the freezing evaporator inlet pipe, the freezing evaporator connecting pipe, the freezing evaporator outlet pipe, the refrigerating evaporator outlet pipe and the compressor inlet pipe. FIG. 5 is a second schematic flow chart of a control method for a refrigeration system according to an embodiment of the present application. Wherein, the control method comprises the steps from S202 to S206 in the following: S202: receiving the defrosting instruction; S204: controlling the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator to operate; S206: controlling an inlet of the first three-way valve and a first outlet of the first three-way valve to open, and controlling a first inlet of the second three-way valve and the outlet of the second three-way valve to open, to bring the compressor, the compressor exhaust pipe, the freezing evaporator inlet pipe, the freezing evaporator connecting pipe, the freezing evaporator, the freezing evaporator outlet pipe, the refrigerating evaporator, the refrigerating evaporator outlet pipe and the compressor inlet pipe into communication with one another in sequence.

By controlling the opening and closing of respective ports of the first three-way valve and the second three-way valve, the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator can be connected end to end through the first pipeline assembly, and the refrigerant is made to circulate among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator to achieve the defrosting effect on the freezing compressor. The step of controlling the first three-way valve to open the first pipeline assembly and block the first pipeline assembly from the second pipeline assembly is defined hereinafter.

[0111] In the defrosting mode, by controlling the inlet of the first three-way valve and the first outlet of the first three-way valve to open and controlling the first inlet of the second three-way valve and the outlet of the second three-way valve to open, the refrigerant can be made to circulate among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator, which prevents the refrigerant from flowing into the condenser, to achieve the defrosting effect on the freezing evaporator.

Furthermore, the condenser fan is provided adjacent to the condenser. When the condenser fan is in operation, the airflow generated by the condenser fan can dissipate heat for the condenser, to transfer the heat of the condenser to the external environment of the refrigeration apparatus to which the refrigeration system is applied.

[0114] After the defrosting instruction is received and the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator are controlled to operate, the freezing fan and the condenser fan are controlled to stop operating while the refrigerating fan is controlled to operate, and thus the defrosting effect on the freezing evaporator can be improved.

After the refrigerating instruction is received and the compressor, the refrigerating evaporator and the condenser are controlled to operate, the inlet of the first three-way valve and the second outlet of the first three-way valve are controlled to open, the first outlet of the first three-way valve is controlled to close, the first inlet of the second three-way valve and the outlet of the second three-way valve are controlled to open, the second inlet of the second three-way valve is controlled to close, the inlet of the third three-way valve and the second outlet of the third three-way valve are controlled to open, and the first outlet of the third three-way valve is controlled to close, which can enable the compressor, the condenser and the refrigerating evaporator to be in communication with one another in sequence, and block the connection relationship between the freezing evaporator and the condenser, the refrigerating evaporator and the compressor. Thus, this method enables the refrigerant to circulate sequentially among the compressor, the condenser and the freezing evaporator, to achieve the effect of cooling the refrigerating chamber or keeping the low temperature of the refrigerating chamber by the refrigerating evaporator.

[0119] As shown in FIG. 9, the fourth aspect of the present application further provides a control device of a refrigeration system. The refrigeration system comprises a compressor, a freezing evaporator, a refrigerating evaporator, a first pipeline assembly, a second pipeline assembly and a first three-way valve. The control device of a refrigeration system comprises: a control module for controlling the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator to operate; and an instruction receiving module for receiving a defrosting instruction; the control module is further configured to control the first three-way valve to open the first pipeline assembly and block the first pipeline assembly from the second pipeline assembly, to enable the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator to be in communication with one another in sequence, and block the condenser from the first pipeline assembly.

[0120] The control device 300 of a refrigeration system provided in the present application can be applied to a refrigeration apparatus, and the refrigeration apparatus may be a refrigerator. In some embodiments, the refrigeration apparatus 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 refrigeration 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 device 300 of a refrigeration system is defined below.

[0121] The refrigeration system comprises the compressor, the freezing evaporator, the refrigerating evaporator, the first pipeline assembly, the second pipeline assembly and the first three-way valve. The control device 300 of a refrigeration system comprises a control module 320 and an 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 refrigerating evaporator to operate. The refrigeration system comprises the first pipeline assembly configured to connect the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating 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 refrigerating evaporator. Since the refrigeration system is provided with a plurality of pipeline assemblies, in order to realize different connection relationships among the compressor, the freezing evaporator, the refrigerating 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 refrigeration system, and different connection relationships among the compressor, the freezing evaporator, the refrigerating 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.

[0122] The control module 320 is further configured to control the first three-way valve to open the first pipeline assembly and block the first pipeline assembly from the second pipeline assembly, to enable the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator to be in communication with one another in sequence, and block the condenser from the first pipeline assembly. In some embodiments, the first three-way valve is connected to the first pipeline assembly and the second pipeline assembly, the second three-way valve is disposed on the first pipeline assembly, and the third three-way valve is connected to the second pipeline assembly and the third pipeline assembly. After the defrosting instruction is received and the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator are controlled to operate, the first three-way valve is controlled to open the first pipeline assembly and block the first pipeline assembly from the second pipeline assembly, to bring the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator into communication with one another in sequence, and block the condenser from the first pipeline assembly. Thus, this method enables the refrigerant to circulate sequentially among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator, to achieve the defrosting effect on the freezing evaporator.

[0123] By adopting the above control device, 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 refrigerating evaporator can be realized, and the connection of the condenser with the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator is blocked, and the refrigerant only flows among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating 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 the food preservation period; in addition, cold energy can be continuously supplied to the refrigerating chamber during defrosting, which lowers or keeps 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.

By controlling the opening and closing of respective ports of the first three-way valve and the second three-way valve, the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator can be connected end to end through the first pipeline assembly, thus making the refrigerant circulate among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator, thus achieving the defrosting effect on the freezing compressor. The control module 320 is configured to control the inlet of the first three-way valve and the first outlet of the first three-way valve to open and controlling the first inlet of the second three-way valve and the outlet of the second three-way valve to open, which can bring the compressor, the compressor exhaust pipe, the freezing evaporator inlet pipe, the freezing evaporator connecting pipe, the freezing evaporator, the freezing evaporator outlet pipe, the refrigerating evaporator, the refrigerating evaporator outlet pipe and the compressor inlet pipe into communication with one another in sequence.

[0126] In the defrosting mode, by controlling the inlet of the first three-way valve and the first outlet of the first three-way valve to open and controlling the first inlet of the second three-way valve and the outlet of the second three-way valve to open, the refrigerant can be made to circulate among the compressor, the freezing evaporator and the refrigerating evaporator, which prevents the refrigerant from flowing into the condenser, to achieve the defrosting effect on the freezing evaporator.
