Refrigerator and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to a refrigerator and a control method thereof. The refrigerator comprises a storage chamber, a refrigeration air flue and a local air-supply air flue. The refrigeration air flue is arranged to convey cold air, and is provided with one or more cold air outlets which are communicated with the storage chamber, so that part of cold air or all the cold air inside the refrigeration air flue is blown into the storage chamber via the one or more air cold outlets. The local air-supply air flue is arranged to receive the cold air from the refrigeration air flue, and blows the received cold air to the local area of the storage chamber in a gathering mode. In addition, the invention provides the control method of the refrigerator. According to the refrigerator and the control method thereof, all the refrigerating capacity in the refrigerator can be blown to one certain specific area in a gathering mode, food placed in the area can be refrigerated quickly, the storage and refreshment effects on the food are good, and the timely using requirement of users can be met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of freezing and refrigeration, in particular to a refrigerator. Background technique [0002] Air-cooled refrigerators can keep food fresh, extend food storage time, and improve food safety. It is a necessary household appliance. However, in existing air-cooled refrigerators, the air supply duct is generally arranged at the rear of the storage compartment of the refrigerator, and the cold air sinks after being blown out, resulting in a relatively hot temperature in the front of the storage compartment and a cold temperature in the rear. uneven. The front part of the storage compartment is closer to the door body, which is prone to heat leakage, resulting in a higher temperature in the front part of the storage compartment, which is unfavorable for food preservation.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, in existing air-cooled refrigerators, the air supply duct is generally arranged at the rear of the storage compartment of the refrigerator, and the cold air sinks after being blown out, resulting in a relatively hot temperature in the front of the storage compartment and a cold temperature in the rear. uneven

The front of the storage compartment is closer to the door body, which is prone to heat leakage, resulting in a higher temperature in the front of the storage compartment, which is not good for food preservation

In particular, for items that need to be cooled quickly, such as beverages or watermelons that have just been bought home, existing refrigerators take a long time to make these items reach the low temperature desired by the user, and cannot satisfy the user's timely use of these items.
