Method for controlling refrigerator operation and refrigerator

METHOD (100), FOR CONTROLLING REFRIGERATOR OPERATION (1), comprising:

• a cabinet (2) that determines a refrigeration and/or freezing area;
• an isolating door (3) that opens and closes the refrigeration and/or freezing area of the cabinet (2);
• a door opening sensor (31);
• a cooling system (5) configured so as to modify the temperature of the refrigeration and/or freezing area in order to decrease energy consumption and reduce noise;
• the method (100) characterized by the fact that it comprises the steps of:
• monitoring the opening and closing of the door (31) by means of the door opening sensor (31);
• generating (206) a door opening probability distribution (206a) at the time of the monitoring;
• and
• maintaining or modifying the operation of the cooling system (5) according to a door opening probability distribution (206a).
• calculating (302) a weighted average of smoothed temperature (302c);
• calculating (303) a current temperature difference (303a, 303b) between an internal temperature (301a) and the weighted average of smoothed temperature (302c);
• determining and updating (308) a maximum value of the current temperature difference (303c) after a single door opening;
• calculating (309) an average temperature derivative (305b);
• applying (310) a support vector machine (310a) SVM to the maximum value of the current temperature difference (303c) and the average temperature derivative (305b);
• when the support vector machine SVM (310a) result is greater than or equal to zero, determining (311) an occurrence of a thermal load insertion (311a) in the refrigerator;
• when there is the thermal load insertion (311a), configuring (312) the cooling system (5) to operate in a high cooling regime in relation to a cooling regime in a period prior to the door opening (3);
• and
• setting the standard operating temperature for a maximum operating temperature (216a) between 4° C. and 10° C.
