In some embodiments of the present utility model, the first and second

inner containers

110 and 120 are made of ABS or PP materials.

As the coolant 150 has some corrosive effect on the metal. Therefore, the materials of the first liner 110 and the second liner 120 are selected to be ABS or PP materials, so that the first liner 110 and the second liner 120 can be effectively prevented from being corroded by the coolant 150.

In some embodiments of the present utility model, the quick-cooling compartment 121 is the bottom-most storage compartment of the refrigerator 10. Other storage compartments 300 of the refrigerator refer to compartments in which food is placed, such as a refrigerating compartment, a freezing compartment, a soft freezing compartment, etc.

The rapid cooling compartment 121 is disposed at the bottommost portion of the refrigerator 10, so that the influence on the temperature of other storage compartments when the cooling evaporator 140 operates can be effectively avoided.

In some embodiments of the present utility model, a temperature detecting device is disposed in the rapid cooling chamber 121 and a door opening detecting device is disposed on the door 160 of the rapid cooling chamber 121. The infusion system 200 is configured to be controlled to open when the temperature detection device detects that the temperature of the rapid cooling compartment 121 is higher than the cooling start temperature and the door opening detection device detects that the door 160 is closed; the temperature of the quick cooling compartment 121 detected by the temperature detection device is lower than the cooling shutdown temperature and/or the door 160 is controlled to be closed when the door detection device detects that it is open.

Wherein the temperature detecting means may be a temperature sensor. The door opening detection device can be composed of a Hall sensor and a magnetic element. The hall sensor is disposed at the opening of the rapid cooling chamber 121, the magnetic element is disposed at a position on the door 160 corresponding to the hall sensor, and when the distance between the hall sensor and the magnetic element is greater than the door opening distance, a door opening signal is sent. Specifically, when the temperature detection device detects that the temperature of the quick cooling compartment 121 reaches the cooling start temperature and the door opening detection device detects that the door 160 is in a closed state, the circulation pump 220 is controlled to be turned on; the circulation pump 220 is controlled to be turned off when the rapid cooling compartment 121 detected by the temperature detecting means reaches the cooling shutdown temperature and/or the door 160 is detected to be opened by the door opening detecting means.

Because the quick cooling chamber is in a quick cooling state when the user opens the quick cooling chamber, the fallen refrigerating medium can make the user inconvenient to take and put the packaged beverage. Therefore, the circulation pump 220 is controlled to be turned on only when the door 160 is in the closed state; and when the door 160 is opened, the circulation pump 220 is controlled to be closed, so that the situation that the refrigerating medium 150 just falls down when the user opens the quick cooling compartment 121 is avoided, and the user is inconvenient to take and put the packaged beverage.

In some embodiments of the present utility model, the refrigeration system of the refrigerator 10, other refrigeration elements than the evaporator, such as the compressor 170, condenser 180, etc., are located in the press bin 400 at the bottom of the refrigerator 10. The press magazine 400 is located below the first bladder 110.

In addition, fan 190 is also disposed within press bin 400 for dissipating heat from the refrigeration system components within press bin 400.

According to the temperature condition of each compartment, the multi-way valve can be connected with the refrigerating pipeline of one evaporator to cool one compartment, or can be connected with the refrigerating pipelines of a plurality of evaporators at the same time to cool a plurality of compartments at the same time.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present utility model, when the temperature detecting device in the rapid cooling compartment detects that the rapid cooling compartment 121 reaches the cooling start temperature, the multi-way valve can control the cooling pipeline in which the cooling evaporator 140 is located to be turned on, so that the cooling evaporator 140 cools the coolant 150 between the bottom interlayers of the first inner container 110 and the second inner container 120 to quickly cool the packaged beverage; when the temperature detecting device detects that the rapid cooling compartment 121 reaches the cooling shutdown temperature, the refrigeration pipeline in which the cooling evaporator 140 is located is controlled to be turned off, so that the cooling evaporator 140 stops cooling the coolant 150 between the bottom interlayers of the first liner 110 and the second liner 120.

In addition, the refrigerator 10 described above further includes a controller that is specifically responsible for performing refrigeration control with respect to the respective compartments of the refrigerator 10.

The following describes the overall process of the cooling control performed by the controller for the rapid cooling compartment 121.

After the controller obtains the temperature of the quick cooling compartment 121 detected by the temperature detection device in the quick cooling compartment 121, when judging that the temperature of the quick cooling compartment 121 is higher than the cooling start temperature, the controller controls the compressor 170 to start, controls the refrigeration pipeline of the cooling evaporator 140 in the refrigeration system to be conducted, then obtains the state of the door opening detection device of the quick cooling compartment 121 again, if the door opening detection device does not send a signal, determines that the door body 160 of the quick cooling compartment is in a closed state, and controls the circulating pump 220 to be started so as to quickly cool the packaged beverage in the quick cooling compartment 121.

The state of the door opening detection device is obtained during the cooling cycle of the rapid cooling compartment 121, if the door 160 of the rapid cooling compartment 121 is detected to be opened, the circulation pump 220 is controlled to be closed, and after the door 160 of the rapid cooling compartment 121 is detected to be closed, the circulation pump 220 is controlled to be continuously opened.

When the temperature of the quick cooling compartment 121 is detected to be lower than the cooling shutdown temperature by the temperature detection device, the controller controls the circulation pump 220 to be turned off, the refrigeration pipeline where the cooling evaporator 140 is located in the refrigeration system to be turned off, and the compressor 170 to be turned off, but if other compartments are also in the refrigeration process, the compressor 170 is not turned off.
