Detailed Description
Referring to fig. 1 to 3 in combination, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a refrigerator is provided, which includes a temperature-variable chamber 1, a refrigerating chamber 2, and a freezing chamber 3, wherein the refrigerating chamber 2 has a refrigerating chamber air returning device 21, the freezing chamber 3 has a freezing chamber air returning device 31, the refrigerating chamber air returning device 21 can controllably introduce the airflow in the refrigerating chamber 2 into the temperature-variable chamber 1, the freezing chamber air returning device 31 can controllably introduce the airflow in the freezing chamber 3 into the temperature-variable chamber 1, and it can be understood that a corresponding temperature-variable chamber air returning device (not shown in the figure) is further provided in the temperature-variable chamber 1 to introduce the airflow in the temperature-variable chamber 1 back to a heat exchanger (evaporator) of a refrigeration system of the refrigerator for heat exchange again. The refrigerating chamber air returning device 21, the freezing chamber air returning device 31 and the variable-temperature chamber air returning device may be, for example, air outlets with air volume control capability (for example, air outlets with air valves, the opening degree of which may be controlled by a preset temperature), and the circulating power of the air flow may be provided by a fan at a heat exchanger of the refrigerator refrigeration system, and further, each air returning device should ensure its one-way guiding function of the air flow to meet the circulating flow requirement of the air flow. In the technical scheme, the air flow in the refrigerating chamber 2 and/or the air flow in the freezing chamber 3 can be guided into the temperature-changing chamber 1 according to the refrigerating requirement of the temperature-changing chamber 1, on one hand, a corresponding refrigerating system does not need to be separately arranged aiming at the temperature-changing chamber, the design cost of products is reduced, on the other hand, the difference of the temperatures of the return air flows in the refrigerating chamber 2 and the freezing chamber 3 is large (the temperature of the refrigerating chamber 2 is generally higher than 0 ℃, and the temperature of the freezing chamber 3 is far lower than 0 ℃, for example, -15 ℃), the accurate control of the temperature of the refrigerating chamber 1 can be realized by selecting whether the refrigerating chamber return air device 21 and the freezing chamber return air device 31 are started or not and controlling the return air flow rates of the two return air (for example, the opening degrees of air valves of the air ports are respectively controlled), when the temperature-changing chamber 1 is used for making sand and ice, the refrigerator of the technical scheme of the invention can, certainly, other drinks) and the supercooling degree (the cold quantity stored in the ice-making object), the ice-making object can be frozen uniformly inside and outside, the formed ice crystals of the ice-making object are more in number and smaller in particle size by accurately adjusting the temperature of the chamber of the temperature-changing chamber 1, the edible taste is improved, and the ice-making object can be conveniently taken without being broken by an ice shaver.
Preferably, the refrigerating chamber air return device 21 is located in an adjacent area between the refrigerating chamber 2 and the temperature-changing chamber 1, and the freezing chamber air return device 31 is located in an adjacent area between the temperature-changing chamber 1 and the freezing chamber 3, so that the air duct lengths of the refrigerating chamber air return device 21 and the freezing chamber air return device 31 are shortened, and the air duct structure of the refrigerator is more compact.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided a method for controlling ice making, for controlling the above refrigerator, including: a pre-cooling stage, adjusting the compartment temperature of the temperature changing chamber 1 from an initial temperature T0 to a first preset temperature T1; in the supercooling stage, the compartment temperature of the temperature changing compartment 1 is adjusted from T1 to a second preset temperature T2, so that the ice-making object enters a supercooling state; a freezing stage, adjusting the temperature of the compartment of the temperature changing chamber 1 from T2 to a third preset temperature T3, so as to convert the ice-making object from a supercooled state to an iced state; wherein T0 is more than T1 is more than or equal to Td which is more than T2 is more than T3, Td is the freezing point temperature of the object to be made ice, and Td is generally not higher than 0 ℃. The ice-making object such as water is frozen under the conditions that the temperature is less than or equal to 0 ℃ and condensation nuclei (or frozen nodules) exist in the water, the ice-making of the water is really a phenomenon of crystallization, the crystallization firstly needs the condensation nuclei, then the condensation nuclei grow continuously and grow into massive crystals, the temperature is not reduced to 0 ℃, the water is frozen, small particles are also needed to be contained in the water and used as attachments when water molecules are just frozen, the small particles contained in the water are called the nuclei, the water which is not frozen at the temperature of less than 0 ℃ is called 'supercooled water', the water which cannot be crystallized is in a very unstable metastable state, and the metastable state can be broken to quickly freeze as long as the water is subjected to small disturbance or small changes in the environment, and the factors influencing the crystallization process of the solution mainly include the temperature, the freezing nuclei (or the frozen nodules), The saturation, crystal nucleus and growth speed thereof, in addition to the nucleation substances such as impurities, the temperature also has great influence on the 'supercooled water', each substance (for example, the sand ice with various corresponding tastes is prepared by using liquid beverages such as fruit juice and the like) has own equilibrium crystallization temperature or is called theoretical crystallization temperature, but in the actual crystallization process, the actual crystallization temperature is always lower than the theoretical crystallization temperature, the phenomenon is the supercooling phenomenon, and the difference value between the actual crystallization temperature and the theoretical crystallization temperature is called 'supercooling degree', so the supercooling phenomenon is easier to occur for the liquid with the larger supercooling degree, and the water is harder to freeze. The technical scheme is based on the phenomenon, the ice-making object is quickly precooled in temperature and then is further in a low-temperature supercooled state without freezing, dynamic balance among supercooled water is broken through a mode of suddenly reducing the temperature after the supercooled state, condensation nuclei exist in the supercooled water, the supercooled water is completely and quickly condensed into ice crystals due to the condensation nuclei, the temperature and the cold quantity of the ice-making object can be more uniformly distributed in the process, the formed sand ice crystals are large in quantity and small in particle size, the edible taste is improved, and the ice-making object is convenient to use.
The pre-cooling stage further comprises a rapid cooling pre-cooling stage and an even cooling pre-cooling stage, wherein in the rapid cooling pre-cooling stage, the compartment temperature of the temperature changing chamber 1 is adjusted from an initial temperature T0 to a fifth preset temperature T5; in the stage of uniformly cooling and precooling, the temperature of the compartment of the temperature-variable chamber 1 is adjusted to a first preset temperature T1 from T5; wherein T0 > T5 > T1. Specifically, in the rapid cooling and precooling stage, the refrigerating chamber air return device 21 is controlled to be turned on to introduce the airflow in the refrigerating chamber 2 into the temperature-variable chamber 1; in the uniform cooling and precooling stage, the freezing chamber air returning device 31 is controlled to be started to introduce the airflow in the freezing chamber 3 into the temperature changing chamber 1 to be mixed with the airflow introduced from the refrigerating chamber 2. According to the technical scheme, the difference between the return air temperature of the refrigerating chamber and the return air temperature of the freezing chamber is fully utilized, the temperature of the room of the temperature changing chamber 1 is quickly reduced to T5 by adopting the return air of the refrigerating chamber in the quick cooling and precooling stage, and because the return air temperature of the refrigerating chamber is higher than 0 ℃, the object to be ice is not frozen by utilizing the quick reduction of the temperature of the room of the temperature changing chamber 1, the time is shorter, and the efficiency is higher; and then, returning air with a lower temperature of the freezing chamber 3 is introduced, and the accurate control of the temperature of the chamber in the uniform cooling and precooling stage is realized by controlling the ratio of the returning air of the refrigerating chamber to the returning air of the freezing chamber, so that the temperature control of the object to be made ice is more accurate.
Preferably, when the freezing chamber air returning device 31 is turned on, the operating frequency of the compressor of the refrigerator is controlled to be a first frequency, wherein the first frequency is lower and is at least lower than the operating frequency of the corresponding refrigerator compressor before the freezing chamber air returning device 31 is turned on, that is, when the freezing chamber air returning device 31 is turned on, the operating frequency of the compressor is reduced to operate, so that the lowest value of temperature adjustment after the freezing chamber air returning and the refrigerating chamber air returning are mixed is prevented from being too low due to too low freezing chamber air returning temperature, and an object to be made ice is enabled to enter a freezing state in advance. And when the refrigerator is in the freezing stage, the operation frequency of the compressor of the refrigerator is controlled to be a second frequency, the second frequency is higher than the first frequency, and the opening state of the freezing chamber air return device 31 is maintained, namely the operation frequency of the compressor is increased in the freezing stage, so that the temperature of the freezing chamber is further reduced, and the smooth operation of the freezing process is ensured. When the refrigerator is in the ice-sand storage stage, the running frequency of a compressor of the refrigerator is controlled to be the third frequency, the third frequency is lower than the second frequency, the running frequency of the compressor is reduced at the moment, the storage temperature of the ice-sand is raised, and therefore the formed ice-sand can be prevented from being too high in hardness when being in a low temperature for a long time, namely the raising of the storage temperature can reduce the hardness of the ice-sand and further improve the taste of the ice-sand. For example, the ice storage phase regulates the temperature of the chamber of the temperature-variable chamber 1 from T3 to a fourth preset temperature T4, Td ≧ T4 ≧ T2.
The supercooling phase specifically comprises a supercooling degree accumulation phase and a supercooling degree maintaining phase, wherein the supercooling degree accumulation phase adjusts the room temperature of the temperature changing chamber 1 from a first preset temperature T1 to a second preset temperature T2; and in the supercooling degree keeping stage, keeping the temperature of the chamber of the temperature changing chamber 1 to be constant at a second preset temperature T2. In the technical scheme, the supercooling degree accumulation stage can gradually introduce and store the cooling capacity in the temperature changing chamber 1 into the object to be made with ice, and the supercooling degree keeping stage is favorable for uniformly distributing the cooling capacity in the object to be made with ice, so that the freezing homogenization effect of the object to be made with ice after the temperature of the compartment is further reduced is further improved.
The supercooling degree accumulation stage comprises a plurality of continuous temperature reduction sub-stages, the temperature reduction sub-stages can comprise a plurality of processes of sequentially reducing the temperature, and the plurality of temperature reduction sub-stages can respectively comprise a temperature maintaining stage so as to further improve the homogenization of the supercooling degree.

At this stage, the frequency of the compressor is increased, air with large refrigerating capacity is introduced from the freezing chamber, the air in the freezing chamber flows from bottom to top, the low-temperature air flow is directly guided to water, the water and the low-temperature air flow carry out forced convection heat exchange, the temperature balance of water molecules is destroyed, hydrolysis is carried out in a supercooled state, the water molecules are rapidly frozen, the freezing process synchronously and rapidly occurs inside and outside the water, and granular fine ice crystals are generated.
