Embodiment
The present invention is described in further detail with embodiment below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
As depicted in figs. 1 and 2, a kind of refrigerator, installation, which fixes one, on evaporator 1 can simulate and perceive the frost of frosting
The sensor 2 of thickness degree.Sensor 2 can be fixed on the coil pipe 8 of the optional position of evaporator 1, in the present embodiment, passed
Sensor 2 is preferably fixed on the first row coil pipe 8 of the anterior air intake position of evaporator 1, or on last row's coil pipe.
As shown in Figures 3 to 5, it is above-mentioned to simulate the sensor 2 with sensing frost thickness, including a shell 3, sensing
The process circuit 4 of device 2 is arranged on the inside of shell 3, and jack-plug socket 5 is set on shell 3, other for sensor 2 and outside
Electric elements are connected, and shell 3 uses the material of insulation and thermal insulation.
Two fixing holes 6 are provided with the shell 3 of sensor 2, when end plate 7 of the sensor 2 close to the end of evaporator 1 is consolidated
When being scheduled on first row coil pipe 8 or last row's coil pipe 8, with screw by the end plate 7 of the fixing hole 6 on sensor 2 and evaporator 1
It is fixed together.The fixation of sensor 2 is very convenient, and is not influenceed by the coil pipe 8 and fin 17 of evaporator 1.Pass
Sensor 2 can also be fixed on the end plate 7 of evaporator 1 by way of glue, can also be fixed on by the structure of buckle
On the end plate 7 of evaporator 1.
It is relatively set with two semicircular pedestals 9,10 on shell 3, the shape of pedestal 9 and pedestal 10 is not limited to half
The material of circle, pedestal 9 and pedestal 10 is the material of insulation and thermal insulation as shell 3.On the opposite face of two pedestals 9,10
A few cool guide sheet is individually secured to, cool guide sheet is fixedly connected on the coil pipe 8 with evaporator 1.
Cool guide sheet can set one on each pedestal 9,10, can also set two on a pedestal 9 or 10 wherein
Individual cool guide sheet, sets a cool guide sheet on another pedestal, and simulation is can serve as with the position of the edge junction of cool guide sheet
Frosting portion.But in order to ensure the accuracy of detection, as shown in figure 4, in the present embodiment, be preferably provided with four cool guide sheets 11,12,
13rd, 14, cool guide sheet 11 and cool guide sheet 12 are fixed on pedestal 9, and cool guide sheet 13 and cool guide sheet 14 are fixed on pedestal 10, cool guide sheet
Gap 15 is left between 11 and cool guide sheet 12, gap 16, gap 15 and the phase of gap 16 are left between cool guide sheet 13 and cool guide sheet 14
It is correspondingly arranged, gap 15 and gap 16 are simulation knot of the sensor 2 for simulating evaporator coil 8 and the frosting thickness of fin 17
In white portion, the present embodiment, simulation frosting portion is two be oppositely arranged.
Four cool guide sheets 11,12,13,14 are the sheet metal of heat conduction, and amount of localized heat is passed through into the He of evaporator fin 17 together
Coil pipe 8, which is delivered in refrigerant, to be taken away, and when flowing through the air with steam, steam condenses to the cold, cool guide sheet 11,12,13,
Frost is condensed on 14 and gap 15,16, the frosting thickness of evaporator coil 8 and fin 17 is simulated with this.

When refrigerator is operated, the frosting thickness for starting simulation frosting portion in evaporator 1 and sensor 2 is small, and optical receiving end 19 connects
The light wave of receipts is more, and the magnitude of voltage that sensor 2 is exported is high.Conversely, after refrigerator operates certain time, frost thickness increase, light connects
The light wave that receiving end 19 is received is few, and the magnitude of voltage that sensor 2 is exported is relatively low.Refrigerator control system is according to the output voltage of sensor 2
Size automatically adjusts defrost interlude, prevents evaporator 1 frostless and the progress defrost work of defrost heating tube, also can be serious
Defrost action is carried out during frosting in advance.Improve the defrosting control accuracy of storage space, it is to avoid invalid defrost, save useless power supply
Consumption.
In four cool guide sheets 11,12,13,14, cool guide sheet 11 and cool guide sheet 13 are relatively fixed in the relative of pedestal 9 and 10
Top on face, cool guide sheet 12 and cool guide sheet 14 are relatively fixed the bottom on the opposite face of pedestal 9 and 10 and extend pedestal 9
With 10 outside, its part extended out is buckle structure, on the two adjacent coil pipes 8 that can be connected on evaporator 1,
Fixed effect is not only played, while make to transmit heat between cool guide sheet 11,12,13,14 and evaporator fin 17 and coil pipe 8,
It is simple to operate.
As described above, the plan content with reference to given by accompanying drawing, can derive similar technical scheme.In every case it is not de-
From the content of technical solution of the present invention, any simple modification made according to technical spirit of the invention to above example, etc.
With change and modification, in the range of still falling within technical solution of the present invention.
