In one embodiment, the predetermined low speed is 800rpm. Of course, this is not a limitation.
Further, after the "controlling the compressor and the second fan 4 to start and simultaneously controlling the first fan 2 to operate at the preset low speed", the control method of the refrigerator further comprises the following steps:
and judging whether the temperature in the first refrigerating chamber is lower than a preset temperature, if so, controlling the compressor to stop, and continuously operating the first fan 2 and the second fan 4 until the first refrigerating chamber reaches the starting temperature or the second refrigerating chamber reaches the shutdown temperature.
It can be understood that when the first fan 2 operates at the preset low speed, part of the cooling capacity in the evaporator chamber can still be provided to the first refrigeration chamber to cool the first refrigeration chamber, so that the temperature in the first refrigeration chamber needs to be acquired at any time to judge whether the first refrigeration chamber is too cold, that is, when the temperature in the first refrigeration chamber is lower than the preset temperature, the temperature in the first refrigeration chamber is too cold. At this moment, the compressor is controlled to stop, even if the first fan 2 continuously operates, cold energy cannot be provided for the first refrigerating chamber, and food materials in the first refrigerating chamber are prevented from being frozen.
The phrase "the first fan 2 and the second fan 4 continuously operate" specifically means that the first fan 2 continuously operates at a preset low rotation speed, and the second fan 4 continuously operates at a rotation speed set in a cooling mode.
When the compressor is stopped, the first fan 2 continuously operates, return air with lower temperature in the first refrigerating chamber can be circulated to the evaporator chamber, the second fan 4 continuously operates, the return air with lower temperature circulated to the evaporator chamber can be conveyed to the second refrigerating chamber, and therefore cold energy in the first refrigerating chamber can be provided for the second refrigerating chamber to cool the second refrigerating chamber.
After the first refrigerating chamber reaches the starting temperature, the compressor is controlled to start, the first fan 2 operates at the set rotating speed in the refrigerating mode to refrigerate the first refrigerating chamber, and the second fan 4 operates at the set rotating speed in the refrigerating mode to refrigerate the second refrigerating chamber; or after the second refrigeration compartment reaches the shutdown temperature, the first fan 2 and the second fan 4 are controlled to stop.
It can be understood that when the first refrigeration compartment needs to be refrigerated and the second refrigeration compartment does not need to be refrigerated, the compressor and the first fan 2 can be controlled to be started, and the damper is controlled to close the second air duct 3, so that only the first refrigeration compartment is provided with the refrigeration.
When the first refrigeration chamber and the second refrigeration chamber need to refrigerate, the compressor is controlled to be started, and the first fan 2 and the second fan 4 operate at the set rotating speed in the refrigeration mode.
In summary, in the air duct assembly 10 of the present invention, the second air inlet 31 is disposed at a position behind the first air inlet 11, so that the influence of the first fan 2 on the second fan 4 can be reduced, and the influence of the first fan 2 on the suction flow of the second fan 4 can be prevented, that is, part of the cold air from the evaporator chamber directly enters the second air inlet 31 under the suction force of the second fan 4, and is not influenced by the suction force of the first fan 2.
It should be understood that although the present description refers to embodiments, not every embodiment contains only a single technical solution, and such description is for clarity only, and those skilled in the art should make the description as a whole, and the technical solutions in the embodiments can also be combined appropriately to form other embodiments understood by those skilled in the art.
The above-listed detailed description is only a specific description of a possible embodiment of the present invention, and they are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and equivalent embodiments or modifications made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
