Abstract
A control method for a refrigerator and a refrigerator are provided. The refrigerator includes a compartment, an evaporator, and a heating module. The method includes: acquiring a current temperature of the compartment; and adjusting an operating power of the heating module according to the current temperature, so that the heating module heats the compartment to a target temperature according to the operating power, where different temperature ranges correspond to different operating powers.
Claims17
A control method for a refrigerator, the refrigerator having a compartment, an evaporator, and a heater, which comprises the steps of:
- acquiring a current temperature of the compartment;
- adjusting an operating power of the heater according to the current temperature, so that the heater heats the compartment to a target temperature according to the operating power, wherein different temperature ranges correspond to different operating powers;
- and
- pausing an operation of the heater and starting dehumidification of the compartment when the current temperature of the compartment reaches a first preset temperature and the first preset temperature is lower than the target temperature, or when the heater operates beyond a first preset time.
A refrigerator, comprising:
- a compartment;
- a high-power heater configured to heat said compartment according to a first operating power;
- a low-power heater configured to heat said compartment according to a second operating power, wherein the second operating power is lower than the first operating power;
- a temperature sensor disposed in said compartment and configured to acquire a current temperature of said compartment;
- and
- a controller coupled to said high-power heater, said low-power heater, and said temperature sensor respectively, wherein said controller is configured to receive a user instruction to adjust the current temperature of said compartment to a target temperature indicated by the user instruction, said controller programmed to:
- acquire the current temperature of said compartment;
- adjust the first operating power and the second operating power according to the current temperature, so that at least one of the high-power heater or the low-power heater heat the compartment to the target temperature, wherein different temperature ranges correspond to different operating powers;
- and
- pause an operation of said high-power heater and said low-power heater and starting dehumidification of said compartment when the current temperature of said compartment reaches a first preset temperature and the first preset temperature is lower than the target temperature, or when at least one said high-power heater or said low-power heater operates beyond a first preset time.
