Conventionally, refrigerators have a direct cooling type frozen seedling structure in which the inner box for the freezer compartment is formed by the cooler itself, and the inner box for the freezer compartment is divided into a freezer compartment and an air duct room and the freezer is stored in the air duct compartment. There is a cold air circulation type that includes a room cooler and a fan device that sends cold air into the freezer compartment. Comparing these performances, in a direct cooling type freezer, food placed on the wall of the room is cooled quickly, but food placed on a shelf or the like floating above the cooling wall is cooled slowly. On the other hand, compared to the direct cooling type, the food cooling rate in the cold air circulation type is faster for food placed floating in the air, but slower for food placed on the chamber wall. Therefore, in both of the above two types of refrigerators, the degree of cooling may become insufficient depending on the storage location in the freezer compartment. In addition, such circumstances mean that, for example, when trying to rapidly cool and freeze unfrozen food in a freezer compartment, freezing may take a long time depending on the storage location. The reality is that this is not desirable in terms of preserving frozen foods.

(I> Normal operation) If the temperature of the refrigerator compartment 2 and the freezer compartment 3 are now higher than the set temperature, the controller 17 detects this by sending the refrigerator to cold II temperature signal S1, which is constantly received from the temperature detection unit 18. Judging from the refrigerator room air temperature signal S2 and the freezer room temperature signal S3, the compressor 10 is driven by the compressor motor 23, the fan motor 8 is also energized, and the first control valve 12 is opened and the second control valve 15 is closed. In other words, in this state, the compressor 10
The refrigerant gas discharged from the is liquefied by the condenser 11, which passes through the first control valve 12 and is supplied to the refrigerator compartment cooler 4 and the cold III compartment main cooler 7 to cool the refrigerator compartment 2 and freezer compartment 3. do. In this case, the inside of the refrigerator compartment 2 is cooled by natural convection, and the inside of the freezer compartment 3 is cooled by strong sub-circulation of cold air from the main cooler 7 for the freezer compartment (during this time, the damper 28 is open). . When the temperature of the refrigerator compartment 2 drops to the set temperature, a switching operation is performed to close the first control valve 12 and open the second control valve 15 based on the refrigerator compartment air temperature signal S2 obtained by the refrigerator room temperature detection element 34. is switched to the supply state to the auxiliary cooler 5 and the main cooler 7 for the freezer compartment. When the temperature of the freezer compartment 3 drops to the set temperature in this state, the operation of the compressor 10 is stopped based on the freezer room temperature signal S3 obtained by the freezer room temperature detection element 36. During such a stop period of the compressor 10, the first control valve 1
2. Both of the second control valves 15 are kept open, so that immediately after the compressor 0 stops, the capacitor 11
This prevents the superheated refrigerant gas staying in the compressor from leaking to the cooler side and heating it, and also maintains the refrigerant in the condenser 11 at a high condensing pressure to improve the efficiency of restarting the compressor 10. . If the temperature of the freezing chamber 3 rises above the set range while the compressor 10 is stopped, the compressor 10 is restarted based on the freezing room temperature signal S3 at this time.

(II) Prevention of reduction in refrigerator compartment cooling capacity The first control valve 12 opens while the compressor 10 is operating, and the state in which refrigerant is supplied to both the refrigerator compartment cooler 4 and the freezer compartment main cooler 7 continues. For example, if it has been there for a long time from 9 to 10 o'clock, this is determined by a timer and the first control valve 12 is closed, while the second control valve 15 is opened and the air is supplied to the cooler 4 for the refrigerator compartment. The refrigerant supply is stopped, and the frost adhering to the refrigerator compartment cooler 4 is removed by natural melting. As a result, the refrigerant supply to the refrigerator compartment cooler 4 is continued for a long period of time, and the frost does not lose the opportunity to dissolve naturally. Therefore, a large amount of frost adheres to the refrigerator compartment cooler 4, which reduces the cooling inside the refrigerator. Prevent situations where efficiency is reduced.

(II) Prevention of cooling stoppage in the refrigerator compartment If 30 minutes have passed since the temperature in the refrigerator compartment 2 rose to the cooling start temperature, for example, 3.5° C. while the compressor 10 is stopped, the compressor 10 and the compressor motor 23
is forcibly driven without depending on the frozen room temperature signal 83 from the frozen room temperature detection element 36.

このようなコンプレッサ10の強制再起動は冷蔵室用冷

Such forced restart of the compressor 10 is performed by a timer that monitors the refrigerator compartment cooler section signal S1 from the refrigerator compartment cooling type temperature detection element 33.

この結果、冷蔵室2内に負荷を多くいれたため庫=10

なることを防止できる。
As a result, a large load was put into the refrigerator compartment 2, so the refrigerator = 10
− It can prevent the product from being left in a non-operational state for a long time with high internal temperature.

(IV) Rapid cooling operation In this operation, a rapid cooling command signal is generated by manual operation to operate a rapid cooling timer device provided in the control section 17, thereby driving the compressor 10 while
The second control valve 12 is closed and the second control valve 15 is opened to forcibly continue supplying refrigerant to the auxiliary cooler 5 and the main cooler 7 for the freezer compartment for the set time. This is an operation that cools down quickly. Thereby, for example, even when unfrozen food is stored in the freezer compartment 3, the food can be quickly frozen.

(V) Refrigeration room temperature compensation operation Then, when the set time of the timer device for rapid cooling has elapsed, the first control valve 12 opens and the second control valve 15 closes to forcibly perform a flow path switching operation. Refrigerating room temperature compensation operation is performed with refrigerant being supplied to the main cooler 4 and the main cooler 7 for the freezer compartment.

This refrigeration room temperature compensation operation continues until a cooling stop command is given by the refrigeration room air temperature signal S2 from the refrigeration room temperature detection element 34, and then returns to normal operation control. In this way, the rapid cooling operation period of the freezer compartment 3 The temperature rise in the refrigerator compartment 2 at 1 is compensated for.

(Vl) Defrosting operation The defrosting operation of the main cooler 7 for the freezer compartment is performed as follows. That is, the defrosting monitoring timer integrates the operating time of the compressor 10, and outputs a defrosting start command signal when the accumulated operating time reaches a set time, for example, 48 hours. This command causes a pre-defrost forced cooling operation to be performed.

This state continues until the first control valve 12 is closed in response to the refrigerating room air temperature signal S2 from the refrigerating room temperature detection element 34, whereby the refrigerating room 2 is forcedly cooled. and refrigerator room air temperature signal S
2 closes the first control valve 12 and closes the second control valve 15.
When the refrigerant is opened, the refrigerant is forcibly supplied to the auxiliary cooler 5 and the soil cooler 7 for the freezer compartment, and this state is continued for a certain period of time, for example, 15 minutes, using a dedicated timer. After this time has elapsed, the drive of the compressor 4j 10 is stopped, the first control valve 12 and the second control valve 15 are closed, and the damper 28 is caused to close. The damper 28 is closed by energizing the damper drive heater 22 to expand the bellows portion 28a. In this way, the water vapor filling the air passage chamber 6 during the defrosting operation is discharged into the freezing chamber 3 by convection due to the temperature difference with the freezing chamber 3, and freezes and accumulates on the surface of the auxiliary cooler 5. prevent. When the damper 28 is closed in this manner, the defrosting heater 21 is energized, and an actual defrosting operation for melting and removing the frost adhering to the main cooler 7 for the freezer compartment is started. When defrosting is completed, the surface temperature of the main cooler 7 for the freezer compartment rises suddenly, and therefore, the control unit 17 determines this based on the defrosting completion signal S4 obtained by the defrosting completion detection element 35, and performs 13-defrosting. The frost heater 21 is de-energized and defrosting completion incidental operations are performed.

First, after the power to the defrosting heater 21 is cut off, a timer is used to keep the damper 28 closed and the compressor 10 stopped for a predetermined short period of time, for example, 5 minutes. During this period, water droplets adhering to the surface of the main cooler 7 for the freezer compartment due to melting of frost are allowed to flow down naturally, thereby preventing these water droplets from freezing when the cooling operation is started. After the water droplet removal operation is completed by the timer, the forced storage temperature recovery operation is performed as follows. That is, when the set time of the water droplet removal timer elapses, the compressor 10 is forcibly driven, one second control valve 15 is opened, and the refrigerant is supplied only to the auxiliary cooler 5 and the main cooler 7 for the freezer compartment. While the defrosting residual heat absorption operation is forcibly performed for a predetermined period of time, for example, 10 minutes, during this time the damper 2814 is kept open following the water droplet removal operation, and the fan motor 8 is also kept stopped. In this way, if the cooling operation is opened by one gear and the second tamper 28 is opened to drive the fan motor 8 at the same time as the defrosting is completed, the defrosting operation that is trapped inside the main cooler 7 for the freezer compartment itself and the air passage chamber 6 will occur. This prevents the inconvenience that accompanying water vapor or residual heat, that is, warm air, is immediately blown out into the freezer compartment 3.

Next, after such a defrosting residual heat absorption operation, the timer again starts a forced operation to supply refrigerant only to the auxiliary cooler 5 and the main cooler 7 for the freezer compartment while listening to the damper 28 and driving the fan motor 8. Do this for 20 minutes, then move to freezer compartment 3.
When this 20 minute period has elapsed, the subsequent control operation is shifted to normal operation based on the freezer compartment condenser mix signal 83 from the freezer room temperature detection element 36.

According to the present invention, since the auxiliary cooler is placed in the freezer compartment, by placing food on it, it is possible to quickly cool the food in the same manner as in the conventional direct cooling type. Food stored in the refrigerator can be cooled more quickly than conventional cold air circulation systems using a main cooler dedicated to cooling the freezer compartment. In addition, unlike conventional systems in which cold air is forced to circulate between the freezer and refrigerator compartments using a fan, the structure is such that the cold air is forced to circulate only within the freezer compartment, so humid air in the refrigerator compartment does not affect the main cooler for the freezer compartment. Since there is no frost formation, the number of times of defrosting can be greatly reduced, so the effect of defrosting inside the freezer compartment can be minimized, and odors in the refrigerator compartment will not be transferred to the food stored in the freezer compartment. Since this can be prevented, food can be safely stored for long periods in the refrigerator. Furthermore, the configuration is configured to operate a timer device based on the rapid cooling command signal to perform a rapid cooling operation that supplies refrigerant only to the freezer compartment cooler for a predetermined period of time. can be cooled quickly, making it convenient for frozen storage of foods, etc. Moreover, since the refrigerating room temperature compensation operation is performed continuously after such a rapid cooling operation, it is possible to reliably correct the tendency of the humidity in the refrigerating room to increase during the rapid cooling operation period 17-, and to prevent any adverse effects on the stored items in the refrigerating room. It can be prevented.
