Refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present invention also comprises the heater button 66a (promptly selecting part) that the power supply of heater 66 is controlled in addition.Heater button 66a selects a kind of pattern from normal mode and park mode, under described normal mode, heater 66 heats or stops heating to the water that is stored in the boiler 60 selectively, under described park mode, normal mode is undone, thereby heater 66 stops water being heated.With reference to Fig. 1, according to an embodiment of the invention, heater button 66a and importation 53 constitute one, perhaps are arranged on the distributor 50 as independent switch.
With reference to Fig. 1,2 and 6, cyclic part 70 comprises: circulation line 71, its from hot water line 64 that boiler 60 is connected tell; Pump 72, its water that will remain in hot water line 64 and the circulation line 71 is circulated to boiler 60 forcibly; Switch pump 72a, it is regulated pump 72.
According to an embodiment of the invention, on the outer surface of the circulation line 71 of the inside that is positioned at hollow hinge 43, be provided with protecting component 65, thereby circulation line 71 and power line 8 and hot water line 64 are separately.Protecting component 65 comprises around the spring of the sweep of circulation line 71 or flexible member, is used to protect its sweep.Here, according to an embodiment of the invention, hot water line 64 is made of the flexible material with thermal resistance.And the length that the circulation line 71 adjacent with hollow hinge 43 had allows door 30 rotation without hindrance.
On a part of circulation line, be provided with pump 72.72 pairs of pumps are trapped in hot water line 64 between boiler 60 and the hot water valve 77 and the water in the circulation line 71 carries out forced circulation.Pump 72 is placed in the top of main body 1.Therefore, according to an embodiment of the invention, 72 pairs of water of pump circulate, so that sequentially pass through by boiler 60, hot water line 64 and circulation line 71 or reverse sequence.
The power supply of pump 72 is controlled separately by switch pump 72a.With reference to Fig. 1, according to an embodiment of the invention, switch pump 72a and importation 53 constitute one, perhaps alternatively, are arranged on the distributor 50 as independent switch.
Refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present invention also comprises second temperature sensor 73 in addition, and it is arranged on the hot water line 64 or circulation line 71 between boiler 60 and the hot water valve 77.73 pairs of second temperature sensors remain in hot water line 64 between boiler 60 and the hot water valve 77 or the temperature of the water in the circulation line 71 is measured, and it is passed to control section 100.
Refrigerator according to an embodiment of the invention comprises timer 90, and its control time to heater 66 and pump 72 measures.
Refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present invention also comprises threshold switch 57 in addition, and it opens and closes cold valves 16 and hot water valve 77 selectively.Threshold switch 57 is arranged on the rear portion of sailor's handle 51, so as with 51 interlockings of sailor's handle.Threshold switch 57 comprises such as the mechanical switch of button, reed switch etc. with such as the sensor of proximity sensor etc.
As shown in Figure 4, also comprise steam aeration portion 80 in addition according to the refrigerator of an embodiment of the invention, the top that it is arranged on boiler 60 is used for the steam pressure in boiler 60 is controlled.
Vapor stream hand-hole 82 passes the lower surface of ventilation housing 81, and vapor stream 83 upper surfaces that pass ventilation housing 81 that portal.Vapor stream hand-hole 82 and vapor stream portal 83 toward each other.Alternatively, when ventilation housing 81 was positioned at the upper surface of boiler 60 up, vapor stream portalled and 83 can be arranged on the side of ventilation housing 81.Vapor stream hand-hole 82 and vapor stream 83 through holes that form through holes or a plurality of mesh that portal.
On the surface of upper support part 87, be formed with at least one steam air vent 88.The steam that steam air vent 88 will pass vapor stream hand-hole 82 guides to vapor stream and portals 83, although cowling 85 is forced to contact with lower support part 86.Equally, steam air vent 88 makes the inside and outside of boiler 60 be connected, so that allow cowling 85 to move to detent position A, although cowling 85 is forced to contact with lower support part 86.
At first, the control method of the heater 66 of according to the embodiment of the present invention refrigerator is set forth.
When on heater button 66a, choosing normal mode, control section 100 is according to the signal that transmits from first temperature sensor 68 and water meter 67, feed water valve 69 and heater 66 are controlled, thereby the water that will be stored in the boiler 60 remains on predetermined water level and predetermined temperature.
When choosing park mode on heater button 66a, control section 100 is closed feed water valve 69, and control heater 66 stops heating.Therefore, although the water that the user will be stored in the boiler 60 emits, and thus, the water level of boiler 60 becomes and is lower than predetermined water level, and feed water valve 69 is not still opened.Therefore, the user can be by choosing park mode with boiler 60 emptyings, to keep clean.And, can reduce unnecessarily driving heater 80, reduce power consumption thus.
After the water level of measuring boiler 60 is lower than the predetermined reference water level, when water meter 67 detect preset time at interval in the water level of boiler 60 when not changing, control section 100 is opened feed water valve 69, so that give boiler 60 water supply.That is to say that when supplying the hot water of scheduled volume to the user, be lower than predetermined water level although measure the water level of boiler 60, control section 100 is not opened feed water valve 69.Therefore, during the user takes hot water and when changing water receptacle etc., control feed water valve 69 is not opened.Therefore, take hot water, when for example changing water receptacle, still can give user's hot-water supply even the user wants to postpone.
Subsequently, the control method according to the pump 72 of the refrigerator of an embodiment of the invention is set forth.
When selecting pump 72 work on switch pump 72a, control section 100 makes the pump predetermined working time of 72 work.Here, the working time of pump 72 is decided based on experimental result.Be defined as after pump 72 initializations, making the water that remains in hot water line 64 and the circulation line 71 to circulate fully needed average time the working time of pump 72.Therefore the user always can obtain the hot water of constant temperature.Wherein, can prevent because the noise that pump 72 work cause by making pump 72 not work in case of necessity.
