Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigerating device comprising two compartments and precisely a first compartment used for the storage of fresh food and a second compartment used for the freezing and storing of foods, a refrigerating circuit comprising a compressor, a first and a second evaporators arranged in said first and second compartments, respectively, and a condenser, and also comprising a temperature control system, having manual regulation possibility, located in said first compartment.
  • Refrigerating devices of the above mentioned type are known; they represent probablythe most widespread type of domestic refrigerators.
  • the two evaporators located respectively in the first compartment (fresh food compartment or 'refrigerator') and in the second compartment ('freezer'), are arranged in series on the same refrigerating circuit, driven, for costs reasons, by one compressor only.
  • the freezer compartment is practically 'towed' by the fresh food compartment (normally called 'refrigerator' compartment), the two evaporators being in series between themselves, and the thermostatic control being done with reference to the 'refrigerator' compartment only.
  • thermostatic control is done by means of a normal electromechanical thermostat just placed into the refrigerator compartment, equipped with a knob for the manual setting of the desired temperature, within certain limits.
  • the Italian patent application nr. 21201-A/79 describes a refrigerating device of the above cited type, where two sensor are provided in the fresh food compartment: one in air and the other on the plate of the evaporator; the control system comprises a thermostatic system of electronic type and the compressor is enabled when the plate of the evaporator reaches the temperature of +4°; the compressor is then disabled when the air probe detects that the temperature is fallen to the value manually input by the user.
  • Said patent has the aim of overfreezing foods placed in the 'freezer' compartment.
  • the restaurant patent application nr. 68230-A/80 also describes a refrigerating device of the above cited type, similar to the one described in the previous patent application, which provides, besides the usual thermostat, a thermistor placed in the fresh food compartment, in the point where the air is lower; when the compressor must operate for a long time, to fastly freeze the food, the thermistor commutates the output of the comparator, which acts on the circuit of the thermostat and switches off the compressor in order to impede that in the other compartment the temperature falls below zero degree.
  • the known systems have many drawbacks, first of all that, into very cold rooms, the compressor remains disabled for long time intervals and the temperature of the 'freezer' compartment reaches dangerous values for the storing of the food therein contained.
  • Aim of the present invention is to indicate how it is possible to realize a refrigerating device which can correctly operate at different room temperatures, which allows manufacturing uniformity, reliability in use and a reduced cost.
  • the aim of the present invention is to indicate a refrigerating device comprising two compartments and precisely a first compartment used for the storage of fresh food and a second compartment used for the freezing and storing of foods, a refrigerating circuit comprising a compressor, a first and a second evaporators arranged in said first and second compartments, respectively, and a condenser, and also comprising a temperature control system, having manual regulation possibility, located in said first compartment, characterized by the fact that automatic regulation means are provided, which operate on the basis of the room temperature so assuring the correct operation in both said two compartments.
  • number 1 indicates an electric fan
  • number 2 indicates the evaporator of the 'freezer' compartment
  • number 3 indicates a defrost heater located in the 'freezer' compartment
  • number 5 indicates the operation control device of the refrigerating device
  • number 4 indicates a knob for the regulation of the temperature (monoturn rotative linear potentiometer) which is part of said device
  • number 6 indicates a luminous warning light (LED) placed on said device
  • number 7 indicates a manual push (fast freezing) also located on said device
  • number 8 indicates the temperature probe of the evaporator of the 'refrigerator' compartment, connected to said device 5
  • number 9 indicates the air temperature probe of the same compartment, connected to the same device 5, and at last number 10 indicates the refrigerating fluid compressor.
  • the control device 5 consists of a plastic material casing, containing an integrated circuit, on which there are mounted in a known way, a certain number of components; among them there is comprised an integrated circuit of the semi-custom type, which is responsible for actuating the main control functions, and which will be described in more detail with reference to figure 2.
  • the dimensions of the casing of the device 5 are limited and are practically equivalent to those of a normal electromechanical thermostat.
  • Compressor 10 and the evaporators of the freezer and refrigerating compartments are over sized, in order to satisfy the refrigerating needs of the respective compartments even in tropical climates.
  • the central rectangle (R) represents the semi-custom integrated circuit above cited; all around there are represented the accessory components connected to it.
  • symbol B indicates the block generating system time base;
  • T indicates the block performing the thermostatic control function (described in detail with reference to figure 3);
  • symbol F indicates the block performing the control function of the operating ratio (described in detail with reference to figure 6);
  • symbol S1 indicates the block performing the defrost function of the 'freezer' compartment (described in detail with reference to figure 5);
  • symbol S2 indicates the block performing the defrost function of the 'refrigerator' compartment, which is similar to block S1;
  • symbol A indicates the block performing the autotest function, which is realized all the times that the refrigerating device is switched on; at last symbol G indicates the block performing the loads handling function.
  • the two temperature probes 11 and 14 are each connected in a bridge circuit, including a tension comparator (01,02) whose output is connected respectively to the block T for the probe 11 and to the block S2 for the probe 14.
  • Loads MC, 15, 17 and 18 are connected to the block G, which controls them.
  • the block 20 represents the start of the flowchart; the block 20 transmits the control to block 21, which is a test block to verify that there is at the moment a cold request (or that the temperature detected by the probe 11 is higher than the one input through the knob 4); in the affirmative case (output SI) the control goes over to block 27, in the negative (output NO) the control goes over to block 22.
  • Block 22 is a test block to verify that the compressor is disactived; in the affirmative case (output SI) the control goes over to block 23, in the negative (output NO) the control goes over to block 24.
  • Block 23 increases the count of the disactive compressor time and then transmits again the control to block 21;

  • Block 30 activates the compressor and trasmits the control to the subsequent block 31, which in his turn, resets the count of the disactive compressor time and returns the control to block 21.
  • the imposition of an 8 minutes minimum time of activation-disactivation of the compressor has the aim to prevent stability problems, due to electric inteferences, realizing the hysteresis function which is normally obtained by the voltage comparator. It is so obtained a reduction of the number of components associated to the voltage comparator 01 (fig. 2), as the wired hysteresis (positive feedback) is no longer necessary, and an increase of the immunity to the electric inteferences (due to the absence of the said positive feedback).
  • the temperature hysteresis obtained in this way is equal to about one centigrade degree totally (half degree lower or higher).
  • block 40 represents the start of the flowchart; block 40 transmits the control to block 41, which is a test block to verify that the fast freezing function (so called 'fast freezer') is enabled; in the affirmative case (output SI) the control goes over to block 42, in the negative (output NO) the control goes over to block 43.

  • Block 42 switches on the warning light, or confirms its switching on, and returns the control to block 41;
  • block 43 is a test block to verify that the defrost function is enabled; in the affirmative case (output SI) the control goes over to block 44, in the negative (output NO) the control goes over to block 45.
  • Block 44 activates or cornfirms the flashing operation of the warning light, and returns the control to block 41; block 45 switches off the warning light, or confirms its switching off, and returns the control to block 41.
  • block 50 represents the start of the flowchart; block 50 transmits the control to block S1, which is a test block to verify that the defrost function must start (the defrost cycles are normally required by the system, namely in fast freezing absence, every 14 hours for the freezer and every 7 hours for the refrigerator); in the affirmative case (output SI) the control goes over to block 52, in the negative (output NO) the control goes back to block 50.
  • block S1 is a test block to verify that the defrost function must start (the defrost cycles are normally required by the system, namely in fast freezing absence, every 14 hours for the freezer and every 7 hours for the refrigerator); in the affirmative case (output SI) the control goes over to block 52, in the negative (output NO) the control goes back to block 50.
  • Block 52 is a test block to verify that the compressor is disactivated; in the affirmative case (output SI) the control remains to block 52, in the negative (output NO) the control goes over to block 53.

  • Block 54 increases the count of the active compressor time and returns the control to block 55; block 57 disables the compressor (said forced disactivation after a three hours uninterrupted operation can be necessary in case of high external temperature, when the compressor could be ever on) and transmits the control to block 58.
  • Block 58 enables the defrost heater and transmits the control to block 59; block 59 resets the count of the defrost time and transmits the control to block 60.
  • Block 60 is a test block to verify that the count of the defrost time has reached the predetermined maximum value (30 minutes); in the affirmative case (output SI) the control goes over to block 63, in the negative (output NO) the control goes over to block 61.
  • Block 61 is a test block to verify that the contact of the thermoprotector 16 is opened; in the affirmative case (output SI) the control goes over to block 63, in the negative (output NO) the control goes over to block 62.
  • Block 62 increases the count of the defrost time and returns the control to block 60; block 63 disables the defrost heater and returns the control to block 50.
  • the refrigerator defrost cycle operates in the same way; the end of the defrost cycle is determined by the probe 11, and precisely when the temperature that it detects is +4°C.
  • the block 65 represents the start of the flowchart; block 65 transmits the control to block 66, which is a test block to verify that the compressor is disabled; in the affirmative case (output SI) the control goes over to block 67, in the negative (output NO) the control goes back to block 66.

  • Block 73 which is a test block, verifies that the count of the active compressor time has reached the predetermined maximum value (40 minutes); in the affirmative case (output SI) the control goes over to block 74, in the negative (output NO) the control goes over to block 75.
  • Block 74 disbles the compressor and transmits the control to block 66; block 75, which is a test block, verifies that the temperature in the refrigerator compartment is at the admissible minimum value (+1°); in the affirmative case (output SI) the control goes over to block 76, in the negative (output NO) the control goes over to block 77.
  • Block 76 activates the heater 18 of the refrigerator compartment and transmits the control to block 78; block 77 disables the heater 18 of the refrigerator compartment and transmits the control to block 78.

  • Such a function is used in the manufacturing process to comparate the performance (temperature progress referred to a fixed time interval).
  • - low cost and manufacturing uniformity - thermostatic control independent from the room temperature; - compressor safety from unbalanced starts; - the freezer is not heated even in the case that the external temperature is low; - excessive ice is not formed even when the external temperature is higher than 30°C.
  • the probe to measure the air temperature of the refrigerator compartment is represented by a resistor with negative temperature coefficient (NTC), directly welded on the printed circuit contained in the control device 5.
  • NTC negative temperature coefficient
