The supply system icehouse 3, refrigerating chamber 5 and specification are switched the cold air of chamber 4, the cold air of supplying with vegetable compartment 6 from refrigerating chamber 2 returns in the cooler chamber 13 then, in these device 14 coolings that are cooled once more, so circulate in refrigerator.In addition, be provided with control and switch the baffle plate 18a of chamber 4 cool-air feeds to the baffle plate (not shown) of refrigerating chamber 2 cool-air feeds and control to specification in throttle setting 18, they are subjected to open and close controlling by motor 18b.
In above-mentioned storeroom, specification is switched chamber 4 and constitute the cooling chamber that reserve temperature (chilling temperature) can change, the temperature band of all sizes such as the variable more refrigerating chamber of its reserve temperature, partial freezing chamber, cooling chamber, refrigerating chamber and vegetable compartment on a large scale.Switch to required specification for this specification is switched chamber 4, be provided with variable resistance 20 on the guidance panel 19 in refrigerating chamber 2, switch the switching device shifter of temperature (specification) usefulness of chamber 4 as setting specification.
As shown in Figure 4, resistance 20a and another resistance 21 of above-mentioned variable resistance 20 are connected in series, and be connected between cathode power supply+Vcc and the ground wire, be transfused to microcomputer 22 with the position correspondent voltage of the sub-20b of slip of variable resistance 20 as control device.Microcomputer 22 detects in specification and switches the specification that chamber 4 is set according to the input voltage from variable resistance 20.The reserve temperature band of each specification for example can be: the refrigerating chamber specification is-23 ℃~-12 ℃, and partial freezing's chamber specification is-4.5 ℃~-1 ℃, the cooling chamber specification be-1 ℃~below+3 ℃, refrigerating chamber specification and vegetable compartment specification are+3 ℃~+ 5 ℃.
The following temperature control structure of each chamber 2~6 of explanation, at first, the temperature of refrigerating chamber 5 is controlled in the running of the compressor 23 by freeze cycle, and controls the temperature of refrigerating chamber 2 and specification switching chamber 4 by the baffle plate of open and close controlling throttle setting 18 respectively.Below the explanation specification directly relevant with the present invention switched the temperature control structure of chamber 4 and refrigerating chamber 5.
That is, on refrigerator main body 1, be provided with the detection specification and switch specification switching chamber temperature sensor 24 and the refrigerating chamber temperature sensor 25 that reaches temperature in the refrigerating chamber 5 in the chamber 4.These temperature sensors 24,25 for example are made of negative-characteristic thermistor, as shown in Figure 4, are connected in series with resistance 26,27 between cathode power supply+Vcc and ground wire, and its branch pressure voltage is imported aforementioned microcomputer 22 as the detected temperatures value.
On the other hand, the motor 23a of compressor 23 and being used to makes the specification of throttle setting 18 switch motor 18b that chamber 4 one side shield 18a make on-off action and connect as the relay switch 29 and 30 of drive unit and be connected with AC power 28.Microcomputer 22 carries out power on/off control according to the detected temperatures of said temperature sensor 24,25 and predefined program to relay coil 29a, the 30a of relay switch 29,30.Also have, fan assembly 15 is not shown in Fig. 4, as previously mentioned, and its running and stop with the running of compressor 23 and stop to carry out synchronously.
In this structure, in case relay coil 29a is energized, its relay switch 29 is just connected, and carries out the running of compressor 23.In case and relay coil 30a is energized, its relay switch 30 is just connected, so the motor 18b of throttle setting 18 is energized, makes the baffle plate 18a that specification is switched chamber 4 make on-off action.
In this occasion, the not shown cam that rotates owing to the effect of motor 18b just makes the baffle plate 18a of throttle setting 18 make on-off action, and the detected switch 31 of its open and-shut mode detects.This sense switch 31 becomes connection from disconnection when baffle plate 18a opens, then become disconnection from connection when arriving fully open position, and the make-and-break signal of its sense switch 31 inputs to microcomputer 22.Microcomputer 22 switches the chamber to specification and compares with the detected temperatures of temperature sensor 24 and the chilling temperature of setting with variable resistance 20 settings with aforementioned specification, and the baffle plate 18a of throttle setting 18 carried out open and close controlling, so that switching chamber 4, specification keeps the temperature set.
The microcomputer 22 of present embodiment has the function that detects unusually to temperature sensor 24,25.Here, the unusual main of temperature sensor 24,25 is because the bleeder circuit that is made of temperature sensor 24,25 and resistance 26,27 breaks somewhere, or forming short circuit with cathode power supply+Vcc and ground wire causes.When this class takes place unusually, bleeder circuit forms high impedance status, or the current potential of output cathode power supply+Vcc or the current potential of ground wire, so when microcomputer 22 detects the above-mentioned state that causes because of broken string and short circuit according to the input from the bleeder circuit of temperature sensor 24,25 and resistance 26,27, just be judged as sensor abnormality (sensor abnormality judgment means).
And, door 7 fronts of this sensor abnormality by for example being located at refrigerating chamber 2, notify the user as the light emitting diode 32 of abnormality alarm device.This light emitting diode 32 is connected with transistor series between cathode power supply+Vcc and ground wire, and microcomputer 22 is connected transistor so that light emitting diode 32 is luminous when detecting sensor abnormality.
In addition, though it is not shown among the figure, but in refrigerating chamber 2, also be provided with the temperature sensor that detects its internal temperature, microcomputer 22 carries out open and close controlling to the not shown refrigerating chamber that throttle setting 18 has with baffle plate with the detected temperatures of temperature sensor according to this refrigerating chamber, makes refrigerating chamber 2 Keep cool temperature.
Effect when below the temperature control of specification switching chamber 4 and refrigerating chamber 5 is carried out in explanation in above-mentioned structure.
At first, microcomputer 22 has or not sensor abnormality with certain cycle detection, normally controls in the occasion that two temperature sensors 24,25 all work orderly, and is judging that sensor unusual occasion takes place carries out emergent control when unusual.Below divide different occasions to be illustrated.
(1) normal control
A) specification is when to switch chamber 4 be freezing specification
At this moment, microcomputer 22 switches in specification makes compressor 23 entrys into service when the chamber detects the start design temperature with temperature sensor 24 and refrigerating chamber with the either party in the temperature sensor 25, when two temperature sensors 24 and 25 all detect the shutdown design temperature compressor 23 is shut down.And the start design temperature of two temperature sensors 24,25 and the shutdown design temperature have nothing in common with each other, for example setting specification switching chamber uses the start design temperature of temperature sensor 24 to be-19 ℃, the shutdown design temperature is-21 ℃, the setting refrigerating chamber is-20 ℃ with the start design temperature of temperature sensor 25, and the shutdown design temperature is-24.5 ℃.
In case specification switches the either party in chamber 4 and the refrigerating chamber 5 such as the temperature in the refrigerating chamber 5 rises to more than the design temperature and refrigerating chamber detects this temperature with temperature sensor 25, microcomputer 22 begins the running of compressor 23 and fan assembly 15 immediately.So, the air that cools off with cooler 14 just passes through fan assembly 15 and direct the supply system icehouse 3 and refrigerating chamber 5, with two Room 3 and 5 coolings.In the operation process of this compressor 23, in case the temperature in the specification switching chamber 4 reach more than the start design temperature and specification switching chamber detects this temperature with temperature sensor 24, microcomputer 22 just makes the baffle plate 18a of throttle setting 18 make opening action.So, the cold air of supplying with in the air-supply path 16 by fan assembly 15 is just supplied with in specification is switched chamber 4 so that this chamber 4 is cooled off by throttle setting 18.
In addition, switch in chamber 4 and the refrigerating chamber 5 in specification, the temperature of switching chamber 4 when specification at first rises to the start design temperature when above, microcomputer 22 switches the chamber according to specification and begins the running of compressor 23 with the detected temperatures of temperature sensor 24, makes the baffle plate 18a of throttle setting 18 make opening action simultaneously.So, just directly supply with, also switch chamber 4 to specification simultaneously and supply with through throttle setting 18 to ice-making compartment 3 and refrigerating chamber 5 through fan assembly 15 with the air of cooler 14 coolings.In this occasion, though be under the state that is in start design temperature following temperature to refrigerating chamber 5 cool-air feeds, just, can not produce harmful effect to this frozen food to the further cooling of food of freezing preservation.
In case all reach below the shutdown design temperature owing to above-mentioned cool-air feed makes the temperature that specification is switched chamber 4 and refrigerating chamber 5 both sides, microcomputer 22 just makes compressor 23 and fan assembly 15 shut down.In case rise to more than the start design temperature owing to this running stops to make the temperature that specification is switched either party in chamber 4 and the refrigerating chamber 5, microcomputer 22 just makes compressor 23 and fan assembly 15 entrys into service once more, and switches chamber 4 and refrigerating chamber 5 both sides in specification and all reach the shutdown design temperature and compressor 23 and fan assembly 15 are shut down when following.At this moment, be cooled to prior to refrigerating chamber 5 below the shutdown design temperature,, stop to switch chamber 4 cool-air feeds to specification just microcomputer 22 makes the baffle plate 18a of throttle setting 18 make closing motion if specification is switched chamber 4.
As mentioned above, be to switch in specification to make compressor 23 entrys into service when the chamber detects the temperature of starting shooting more than the design temperature with the either party in the temperature sensor 25 with temperature sensor 24 and refrigerating chamber, so temperature, the temperature in the refrigerating chamber 5 that specification can be switched in the chamber 4 all remain on below the start design temperature.
And, be when two temperature sensors 24,25 all detect the temperature of shutdown below the design temperature, compressor 23 to be shut down, so can prevent to switch chamber 4 just problem generation of stall of compressor 23 when not being cooled to necessary cryogenic temperature as yet in specification.
B) specification is switched chamber 4 when be in addition specification of freezing specification
At this moment, the running of compressor 23 is controlled according to the detected temperatures of refrigerating chamber with temperature sensor 25.And specification switches the chamber and is set to and the corresponding temperature of setting with variable resistance 20 of specification with the start design temperature and the shutdown design temperature of temperature sensor 24, and the baffle plate 18a of throttle setting 18 switches the chamber according to specification and is subjected to open and close controlling with the start design temperature of temperature sensor 24 and the design temperature that shuts down.
That is, in case the temperature in the refrigerating chamber 5 rise to the above and refrigerating chamber of start design temperature when detecting this temperature with temperature sensor 25, microcomputer 22 just begins the running of compressor 23 and fan assembly 15.Like this, with above-mentioned identical, cold air is just supplied with to ice-making compartment 3 and refrigerating chamber 5.At this moment, detect the above temperature of start design temperature in case specification is switched the chamber with temperature sensor 24, microcomputer 22 just makes throttle setting 18 make opening action, makes cold air pass through throttle setting 18 and supply in specification is switched chamber 4.
In case this cool-air feed makes the temperature that specification is switched chamber 4 be cooled to shut down below the design temperature, microcomputer 22 just makes the baffle plate 18a of throttle setting 18 make closing motion, stops to switch chamber 4 cool-air feeds to specification.In case refrigerating chamber 5 is cooled to shut down below the design temperature, microcomputer 22 just makes compressor 23 and fan assembly 15 shut down.
And running by above-mentioned compressor 23 and fan assembly 15 and stall make ice-making compartment 3 and refrigerating chamber 5 keep cryogenic temperatures, and the switching of the baffle plate 18a by throttle setting 18 simultaneously makes specification switch chamber 4 to keep the specification temperature set.
(2) emergent control during sensor abnormality
In case microcomputer 22 is judged sensor abnormality, just makes light emitting diode 32 luminous, report that to the user specification switching chamber all takes place can not normally control unusually with either party in the temperature sensor 25 or both sides with temperature sensor 24 and refrigerating chamber.The user is taken place unusually according to luminous the learning of light emitting diode 32, just can ask to repair.Microcomputer 22 also carries out following emergent control when unusual except sending above-mentioned abnormality alarm.
Promptly, in case be judged as sensor abnormality, microcomputer 22 judges just whether specification switching chamber 4 is set to the refrigerating chamber specification, in the occasion that is set at the refrigerating chamber specification, detected temperatures regardless of temperature sensor 24,25, make compressor 23 and fan assembly 15 runnings, make the baffle plate 18a of throttle setting 18 make opening action simultaneously.Like this, cold air just switches chamber 4, refrigerating chamber 5 supplies to ice-making compartment 3, specification, makes these chambers 3~5 remain on cryogenic temperature.
On the other hand, switch chamber 4 when being set to specification beyond the refrigerating chamber specification in specification, microcomputer 22 makes the baffle plate 18a of throttle setting 18 be in closed condition no matter the detected temperatures of temperature sensor 24,25 how, makes compressor 23 and fan assembly 15 entrys into service simultaneously.Like this, both made ice-making compartment 3, refrigerating chamber 5 keep cryogenic temperature, prevented that specification switching chamber 4 from becoming cryogenic temperature and causing food freezing simultaneously again.
Above-mentioned emergency operation is the running in short period before the repairman finishes temperature sensor replacing etc., can prevent the thaw generation of this significant problem of frozen food by this running.Adopt above-mentioned emergency operation also because when specification is switched chamber 4 for the specification beyond the freezing specification, can rise to normal temperature in the short period before the repairman completes repairs hardly and cause food spoilage, and concerning the user, the more important thing is to prevent cool-air feed in specification is switched chamber 4 and cause food freezing.
In the above-described embodiments, when being set to the refrigerating chamber specification, when being the temperature more than the either party in two temperature sensors 24,25 detects the start design temperature, make compressor 23 entrys into service in specification switching chamber 4.Therefore, following item can take place in prediction.
At first, specification switching chamber 4 and refrigerating chamber 5 have following character.That is, the back of refrigerating chamber 5 forms cooling chamber 13, is subjected to the cooling effect of cooler 14 easily, and the cold air of device 14 coolings that are cooled simultaneously is at once directly to its supply, so be cooled easily.On the other hand, the internal capacity of refrigerating chamber 5 is big, and the area of the left and right sides wall that contacts with extraneous air is big, so heat leakage is many, temperature rises easily.
And specification to switch chamber 4 be to accept cold air cooler 13 in by the air-supply path 16 that forms lid 12 in and throttle setting 18, so because of therebetween passage resistance is difficult to obtain than air quantity greatly, and the temperature that blows out of cold air also is higher than refrigerating chamber 5.Thereby specification is switched chamber 4 and is difficult for cooling.On the other hand, specification is switched chamber 4 and is joined at both sides and left side and refrigerating chamber 2, refrigerating chamber 5 and ice-making compartment 3 up and down, and what contact with extraneous air only is right side wall, so relative its internal capacity, the wall area that contacts with extraneous air is less, consequently, heat leakage is less, and temperature is difficult for rising.
Specification is switched chamber 4 and refrigerating chamber 5 has above-mentioned character.Therefore, switch the occasion that chamber 4 is set to freezing specification in specification, be at two temperature sensors 24 as mentioned above, either party in 25 begins the running of compressor 23 when detecting the temperature of starting shooting more than the design temperature, then because after specification is switched chamber 4 and refrigerating chamber 5 and is cooled to below the shutdown design temperature, be that the more refrigerating chamber of heat leakage 5 one sides at first rise to more than the start design temperature, so compressor 23 normally turns round according to the temperature in the refrigerating chamber 5, and shutting down the temperature that makes refrigerating chamber 5 because of compressor 23 from the process that the following state of shutdown design temperature rises, because switching chamber 4, specification rises to the above temperature of start design temperature, make compressor 23 runnings again, so form the frequent running of compressor 23.
For prevent the generation of this class state of affairs, just other embodiment of the present invention switch in specification to begin the running of compressor 23 when the chamber all detects the temperature of starting shooting more than the design temperature with temperature sensor 25 both sides with temperature sensor 24 and refrigerating chamber.
So, as shown in Figure 5, even the more refrigerating chamber 5 of heat leakage rises to the above temperature of start design temperature (20 ℃) (t1 constantly among Fig. 5) in advance, because switching chamber 4, specification do not reach the above temperature of start design temperature (19 ℃) as yet, so compressor 23 does not turn round.Then, in case switching chamber 4, specification reaches the above temperature of start design temperature (t2 of Fig. 5 constantly), compressor 23 entry into service just now.At this moment, start shooting more than the design temperature, but still maintain the following temperature of freezing necessary bottom line, the problem of a class so the food in the refrigerating chamber 5 can not thaw though the temperature in the refrigerating chamber 5 reaches.In case and specification switching chamber all is cooled to shutdown design temperature following (t3 constantly among Fig. 5) with temperature sensor 24 and refrigerating chamber with temperature sensor 25, compressor 23 just stops.
As mentioned above, present embodiment is just to begin the running of compressor 23 when two temperature sensors 24,25 all detect the temperature of starting shooting more than the design temperature, so can prevent compressor 23 over-runnings.And be when two temperature sensors 24,25 all detect the temperature of shutting down below the design temperature, compressor 23 just shuts down, and does not switch chamber 4 or the refrigerating chamber 5 uncolled problems that just shut down to the following compressor 23 of shutdown design temperature so specification can not take place.
