Description

Defrosting system and control method of refrigerator and refrigerator
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of defrosting of refrigerators, in particular to a defrosting system of a refrigerator, a control method and a refrigerator.
Background
Refrigerator defrosting is a problem that must be considered in a refrigerator control system, particularly in an air-cooled refrigerator control system. When the refrigerator is normally cooled, since the evaporator temperature is low and the ambient air temperature is relatively high, water vapor in the air gradually condenses as a frost layer on the surface of the evaporator. If the frost layer is too thick, the refrigeration efficiency is reduced, and the energy consumption is increased.
At present, the frostless refrigerator on the market generally adopts an electric heating mode to defrost. The defrosting mode is that a heater is arranged at the bottom of an evaporator, the heater is electrified and heated, and the heat of a steel pipe heater is transferred to a frost layer in a heat radiation and heat convection mode. For a refrigerator using an auxetic evaporator, an evaporator fin arrangement mode with a dense upper part and a sparse lower part is generally adopted, but for products with a large evaporator chamber width and a small height, frost is not uniform, and particularly, the situation is worse for products with unreasonable air return openings. After the defrosting process of the refrigerator is quitted, the top of the evaporator still has residual frost, so that the defrosting test is unqualified, and long time, the refrigerator with an excessively thick frost layer can not refrigerate, so that the user complaint is caused.
Aiming at the problem of residual frost of the evaporator, the method generally adopts a mode of increasing the power of a heater, prolonging the working time of the heater or increasing the exit temperature of a defrosting sensor. The result of all three modes is that the heat in the defrosting process is increased, the temperature rise in the refrigerator is inevitably increased, and the energy consumption of the refrigerator is increased.
