Abstract (en)

An embodiment of the present invention provides a temperature control method and control device of a variable-temperature compartment in a refrigerator, and a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a variable-temperature compartment and a refrigeration system adapted to generate cold air to cool the variable-temperature compartment. The refrigeration system includes an evaporator configured corresponding to the variable-temperature compartment. The temperature control method of a variable-temperature compartment in a refrigerator includes: obtaining a set temperature of the variable-temperature compartment; determining whether the set temperature is greater than or equal to a first temperature threshold, if yes, executing a non-freezing temperature control mode on the variable-temperature compartment; and if no, executing a freezing temperature control mode on the variable-temperature compartment, where the non-freezing temperature control mode is that the refrigeration system is operated based on a temperature of the variable-temperature compartment and a temperature of the evaporator to cool the variable-temperature compartment, and the freezing temperature control mode is that the refrigeration system is operated based on the temperature of the variable-temperature compartment to cool the variable-temperature compartment. In the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, temperature control modes of the variable-temperature compartment can be flexibly changed, and it is conducive to saving energy and defrosting in the non-freezing temperature control mode and improving a cooling rate in the freezing temperature control mode.
