Abstract

The present invention provides a partition refrigeration control method and device for a refrigerating chamber of a refrigerator. The partition refrigeration control method comprises: determining that the refrigerating chamber enters a refrigeration state; acquiring the temperatures, sensed by an infrared sensor, of the items stored in the plurality of item storage compartments; comparing the temperature of the item stored in each item storage compartment with a corresponding preset area refrigeration start temperature threshold of each item storage compartment; setting a refrigeration state identifier corresponding to the item storage compartment in which the temperature of the item is higher than the corresponding area refrigeration start temperature threshold as start; and driving the air blowing splitter to operate in a state of providing the cooling air flow to the item storage compartment whose refrigeration state identifier is start.
