Method of controlling air-cooling device and air-cooling device
Abstract
The present invention discloses a method of controlling an air-cooling device and an air-cooling device. The air-cooling device enables two chambers to achieve simultaneous refrigeration, to achieve simultaneous heating, or to achieve refrigeration in one chamber and heating in the other chamber by employing a structural design with a single evaporator+a single evaporation blower+two dampers+three heating wires, in conjunction with the control of operational relationship of the compressor, the evaporation blower, the heating wires and the dampers; in conjunction with the control in the above three manners, the thermostatic control of the air-cooling device with a single refrigeration system and dual temperature zones is achieved with a simple structure and process.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A method of controlling an air-cooling device, the air-cooling device comprising:
a cabinet; a liner which is mounted in the cabinet and whose internal cavity is partitioned into a first chamber and a second chamber; a first heating wire mounted in the first chamber; a second heating wire mounted in the second chamber; a single cycle refrigeration system comprising a circulation air passage, a compressor and an evaporator; a defrost sensor detecting defrost temperature is mounted on the evaporator; an evaporation blower mounted outside the liner; a first damper provided on the first chamber and connected to the circulation air passage; a second damper provided on the second chamber and connected to the circulation air passage; wherein the controlling method comprises: controlling the compressor and the evaporation blower to operate, opening the first damper and closing the second damper, and activating the second heating wire; controlling the compressor to stop when the first chamber reaches a preset refrigeration temperature, and closing the first damper after a delay until the defrost temperature reaches a first preset temperature; turning off the second heating wire when the second chamber meets a heating temperature; and opening the second damper when the defrost temperature reaches the second preset temperature after a delay after the first damper is closed.
2 . The method of controlling an air-cooling device according to claim 1 , wherein the controlling method further comprises:
controlling the evaporation blower to stop when the defrost temperature reaches the first preset temperature; and when the defrost temperature reaches the second preset temperature, controlling the evaporation blower to operate until the second chamber meets the heating temperature.
3 . The method of controlling an air-cooling device according to claim 1 , wherein the air-cooling device further comprises:
a compensatory heating wire disposed on a rear side of the evaporator; the controlling method further comprises: activating the compensatory heating wire after the compressor stops.
4 . The method of controlling an air-cooling device according to claim 3 , wherein the specific operation of activating the compensatory heating wire is to activate the compensatory heating wire with a 100% current conduction rate.
5 . The method of controlling an air-cooling device according to claim 1 , wherein the controlling method further comprises:
opening the first damper and the second damper, and controlling the evaporation blower to operate; activating the first heating wire, the second heating wire and the compensatory heating wire.
6 . An air-cooling device, comprising:
a cabinet; a liner which is mounted in the cabinet and whose internal cavity is partitioned into a first chamber and a second chamber; a first heating wire mounted in the first chamber; a second heating wire mounted in the second chamber; a single cycle refrigeration system comprising a circulation air passage, a compressor and an evaporator; a defrost sensor detecting defrost temperature is mounted on the evaporator; an evaporation blower mounted outside the liner; wherein the air-cooling device further comprises: a first damper provided on the first chamber and connected to the circulation air passage; a second damper provided on the second chamber and connected to the circulation air passage; a single chamber air-cooling/heating control module configured to: control the compressor and the evaporation blower to operate, open the first damper and close the second damper, and activate the second heating wire; when the first chamber reaches a preset refrigeration temperature, control the compressor to stop, and close the first damper after a delay when the defrost temperature reaches a first preset temperature; close the second heating wire when the second chamber meets a heating temperature; and open the second damper after the first damper is closed until when the defrost temperature reaches a second preset temperature.
7 . The air-cooling device according to claim 6 , wherein the single chamber air-cooling/heating control module comprises:
an evaporation blower control unit configured to: control the evaporation blower to stop when the defrost temperature reaches the first preset temperature; and control the evaporation blower to operate until the second chamber meets the heating temperature, when the defrost temperature reaches the second preset temperature.
8 . The air-cooling device according to claim 6 , wherein the air-cooling device further comprises:
a compensatory heating wire disposed on a rear side of the evaporator; a compensatory heating control module configured to activate the compensatory heating wire after the compressor stops.
9 . The air-cooling device according to claim 8 , wherein the compensatory heating control module is specifically configured to:
activate the compensatory heating wire with a 100% current conduction rate.
10 . The air-cooling device according to claim 6 , wherein the air-cooling device further comprises:
a full air-cooling control module configured to: open the first damper and second damper, and control the evaporation blower to operate; and activate the first heating wire, the second heating wire and the compensatory heating wire.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
