Definitions

  • the method further includes adjusting a suction quantity of freezer compartment chilled air and a suction quantity of refrigerator compartment chilled air suctioned into the mixing room such that a temperature of the supercooling compartment is maintained at a set temperature.
  • a refrigerator compartment door 21a and a freezer compartment door 22a are hinged to open and close the refrigerator compartment 21 and the freezer compartment 22, respectively.
  • Each of the doors 21 a and 22a is provided with shelves 16 for accommodating food.
  • the refrigerator according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a mixing room 40 provided in the refrigerator compartment 21 to suction chilled air respectively from the freezer compartment 22 and the refrigerator compartment 21 and to mix the same to make chilled air to be supplied into the supercooling compartment 30, and a controller 50 for controlling the suction quantity of the chilled air suctioned from the freezer compartment and the refrigerator compartment into the mixing room 40 to maintain the temperature of the supercooling compartment 30 at the set temperature.
  • the mixing room 40 may include a mixing device 47 for mixing the chilled air suctioned through the first and the second suction ports 41 and 42 while traveling in an equilibrium state.
  • the mixing device 47 as shown in FIG. 4A, may include the first suction port 41 and a mixing passage 47a formed between the second suction port 42 and the chilled air supply port 46.
  • FIG. 4A is a plan view illustrating the mixing passage formed in the mixing room as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the mixing passage 47a is formed in a serpentine shape by at least one passage forming plate 47b.
  • the mixing device as shown in FIG. 4B, may include a fan 47c installed to rotate in the mixing room 40 to accelerate the mixing of the chilled air.
  • the fan 47c is installed in the mixing room 40 without a driving device such as a motor and is rotated by receiving a force from a stream of the chilled air suctioned into the mixing room 40, causing the acceleration of the mixing of the chilled air.
  • a mixing temperature sensor 48 may be installed in the mixing room 40, and in this case, the mixing temperature sensor 48 is installed around the chilled air supply port 46 to measure the temperature of the mixture of the chilled air being supplied into the supercooling compartment 30.
  • the supercooling temperature sensor 31 installed in the supercooling compartment 30 measures the temperature of the supercooling compartment 30. Data on the measured temperature are transmitted to the controller 50, and the controller 50 compares the temperature measured by the supercooling temperature sensor 31 with the set temperature of the supercooling compartment 30 and controls the blower fans 44a and 44b according to the result of the comparison. Then, the suction quantities of the freezer compartment chilled air and the refrigerator compartment chilled air are adjusted so that temperature of the chilled air mixed in the mixing room 40 approaches the set temperature, and as a result the supercooling compartment 30 can be maintained at the set temperature.
  • FIG. 3 shows an example that the mixing room 40 and the supercooling compartment 30 are installed in the refrigerator compartment 21, the mixing room 40 and the supercooling compartment 30 may be disposed in the freezer compartment 22.
  • the second suction port for suctioning the refrigerator compartment chilled air penetrates the intermediate partition and communicates with the refrigerator compartment.
  • the supercooling compartment 60 includes a chilled air introducing port 63 communicating with the mixing room 70 to directly receive the chilled air from the mixing room 70, and a damper 64 for opening and closing the chilled air introducing port 63.
  • a damper 64 for opening and closing the chilled air introducing port 63.
  • the supercooling compartment 60 can maintain a stable temperature more precisely.
  • the casing 61 of the supercooling compartment 60 is made of material of large heat capacity the casing 61 serves a buffer against the temperature change, the rapid temperature change of the supercooling compartment 60, from the effect of ambient temperature around the supercooling compartment 60, is further mitigated.
  • a supercooling temperature sensor 62 is installed in the supercooling compartment 60.
  • the controller 50 may adjust the suction quantities of the freezer compartment and the refrigerator compartment such that the temperature t measured by the supercooling temperature sensor 62 satisfies the following formula with respect to the set temperature T of the supercooling compartment 60. T - 2 ⁇ t ⁇ T + 2
  • the damper 64 When the damper 64 is closed and the supercooling compartment 60 is indirectly refrigerated, it is difficult to maintain the temperature t of the supercooling compartment 60 at the set temperature T.
  • the beverage in the supercooling compartment 60 may possibly be frozen, and to the contrary, when the temperature measured in the supercooling compartment 60 is too high, the supercooling of the beverage is hard to achieve so that it is also difficult to change the supercooled beverage into slush when a user makes slush from the supercooled beverage.
  • the mixing room 70 includes an insulator 75 for separating the mixing room 70 from the freezer compartment 22 to preventing heat transfer between the freezer compartment 22 and the mixing room 70.
  • the mixing room 70 further includes a chilled air discharge port 76 for circulating the chilled air therein toward the chilled air generating room 15.
  • the chilled air discharge port 76 may be installed with a damper 77 for opening and closing the chilled air discharge port 76.
  • the mixing room 40 and the supercooling compartment 30 are connected to each other by a connector duct 80 provided therebetween such that the chilled air in the mixing room 40 can be supplied into the supercooling compartment 30.
  • An end of the connector duct 80 communicates with the mixing room 40 via a chilled air discharge port 81 formed in the lower side of the mixing room 40 and the opposite end thereof communicates with the supercooling compartment 30 via a chilled air introducing port 82 formed in the upper side of the supercooling compartment 30.
  • the connector duct 80 may be disposed along the sidewall 21c (See FIG. 1) of the refrigerator compartment 21 oriented toward the intermediate partition 14.
  • FIG. 7 is a side sectional view illustrating a part of a refrigerator according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
  • the supercooling compartment 30 and the mixing room 40 are provided not in the freezer compartment 22 or the refrigerator compartment 21, but independently provided in an independent refrigerator compartment 90.
  • similar components to those in the embodiment as shown in FIG. 3 will not be described.
  • the same components as those of the embodiment in FIG. 3 are assigned with the same reference numerals and only aspects peculiar to this embodiment will be described.
  • the mixing room 40 and the supercooling compartment are provided in the independent refrigerator compartment 90, since the mixing room 40 and the supercooling compartment 30 are less affected from the temperature of the freezer compartment 22 or the refrigerator compartment 21, the temperature of the supercooling compartment 30 is more easily controlled.
  • a mixing room 40' is provided in the main body 10 to suction and mix the chilled air from the refrigerator compartment 21 and an evaporator 15a in the chilled air generating room 15 with each other.
  • the mixing room 40' includes a first suction port 41' provided in the rear side 21 b of the refrigerator compartment to suction the chilled air generated by the evaporator 15a and to communicate with the chilled air generating room 15, and a second suction port 42' communicated with the refrigerator compartment 21 to suction the chilled air from the refrigerator compartment 21.
  • the first suction port 41' may be disposed in the upper side of the evaporator 15a.
  • the first and the second suction ports 41' and 42' are installed with blower fans 44a' and 44b' for supplying suction force required to suction the chilled air from the chilled air generating room 15 and the refrigerator compartment 21.
  • the supercooling compartment is refrigerated by the chilled air having temperature approximately the same as the set temperature of the supercooling compartment, the temperature of the supercooling compartment does not change rapidly and the beverage can be stably supercooled.
