Detailed Description
In daily life, refrigerators have become essential household appliances in modern household life. Generally, a refrigerator includes a freezing chamber, a freezing chamber door for opening or closing the freezing chamber, a refrigerating chamber, and a refrigerating chamber door for opening and closing the refrigerating chamber. The ice-making chamber is generally arranged at one side of the freezing chamber and comprises an ice-making machine; the ice making chamber is provided with a cold water valve and a distributor, the cold water valve and the distributor are arranged on the door of the freezing chamber in the freezing chamber where the ice maker is arranged. The cold water valve is used for providing cold water for users, and the dispenser is arranged at an ice outlet of the ice maker and used for providing ice for the users.
The ice making system in the refrigerator generally further includes a water supply pipe for supplying water from an external water supply source into the refrigerator, the water supply pipe supplying water to the cold water valve and the ice maker. The water passes through a heat exchanger before entering the cold water valve, lowers the temperature of the water, and then provides cold water to the user through the cold water valve. The outside water is delivered to the ice making chamber by the water supply pipe, and the temperature is rapidly reduced under the action of the heat exchanger in the ice making chamber, so that ice is formed in the ice making machine. The ice maker may further include an ice delivery device for automatically delivering ice to the dispenser, and may further include a breaking device, such as a cutter, for supplying cubed and sliced ice. Of course, the ice maker may also include only the ice tray, and if only the ice tray is included, the user needs to supply ice to the ice bank connected to the dispenser.
The ice maker enables ice cubes to be easily obtained by automatically completing a series of processes related to ice making without control, the dispenser can take out the ice cubes, and the cold water valve can directly discharge cold water for drinking.
In the prior art, the refrigerator with the ice making system can start the components in the ice making system under any state, and when the temperature of a refrigerator compartment is high, the starting wastes energy and influences the service life of the components. Particularly, when the refrigerator is used for the first time or restarted after power failure, various components of the ice making system are started at a high temperature, and influence on the components is generated to different degrees.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for controlling an ice making system for a refrigerator, fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating the method for controlling the ice making system for a refrigerator according to the present invention, and fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating steps of the method for controlling fig. 1. As shown in fig. 1, the control method of the ice making system includes the steps of:
step S101: acquiring the temperature of an ice making chamber;
step S103: the temperature of the ice making chamber is matched with the preset starting condition of the ice making system,

and determining and starting the corresponding component according to the matching result.
The components comprise an ice maker arranged in the ice making chamber, a cold water valve arranged on the ice making chamber and used for providing cold water for a user, and a distributor arranged at an ice outlet of the ice maker.
In the prior art, all the components in the ice making system of the refrigerator can be started under any condition, however, when the temperature of the ice making chamber is high, particularly when the refrigerator is restarted, the temperature of each chamber of the refrigerator is in a high temperature state, and at this time, all the components (an ice maker, a cold water valve, a distributor and the like) of the ice making system are started, energy waste is caused, and the service life of all the components is seriously influenced.
According to the control method of the ice making system of the refrigerator, which is provided by the invention, as the starting parameter is the temperature, the temperature controllability is strong, the control accuracy is high, and when the starting condition is met, corresponding parts of the ice making system are started. The control method avoids the starting of the ice making system under any condition, including high temperature, thereby not only reducing the service life of the ice making system, but also wasting energy.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the detailed flow steps of the steps are as follows:
step S201: starting the refrigerator;
the temperature of each compartment of a common refrigerator is room temperature at the initial starting stage of the refrigerator, the temperature is higher, and the temperature in each compartment in the refrigerator is gradually reduced along with the lapse of the starting time of the refrigerator;
step S203: acquiring the temperature of the ice making chamber;
in the invention, the temperature of the compartment is the only measurement parameter for starting each component in the ice-making system, so the temperature of the compartment of the ice-making compartment is acquired in real time to judge whether the temperature of the compartment reaches a preset value;
step S205: matching the compartment temperature with a preset starting condition of an ice making system;
when the compartment temperature is matched with a preset starting condition of the ice making system, the starting condition is a compartment temperature range which is defined to allow the starting of each component of the ice making system;
step S207: the temperature of the chamber is less than a first preset temperature;
in step S207, the magnitude of the compartment temperature and the first preset temperature is determined, and if the compartment temperature is less than the first preset temperature, step S209 is executed; if the compartment temperature is higher than the first preset temperature and the user cannot start the dispenser to take ice, executing step S202, reducing the temperature of the ice making compartment, and judging whether the compartment temperature is lower than the first preset temperature again;
particularly, if the temperature of the compartment is greater than a first preset temperature, when the user forcibly starts the dispenser to take ice, the refrigerator will make a sound prompt tone to prompt the user that the dispenser cannot be started;
step S209: starting a distributor;
a user can take ice from the dispenser;
step S211: the temperature of the chamber is less than a second preset temperature;
in step S211, the magnitude of the compartment temperature and the second predetermined temperature is determined, and if the compartment temperature is less than the second predetermined temperature, step S213 is executed; if the temperature of the compartment is higher than the second preset temperature and the user cannot start the cold water valve to take cold water, executing the step S204, continuing to reduce the temperature of the ice making compartment, and judging whether the temperature of the compartment is lower than the second preset temperature again;
particularly, if the temperature of the compartment is higher than a second preset temperature, when a user forcibly starts the cold water valve to take cold water, the refrigerator can give out a sound prompt tone to prompt the user that the cold water valve cannot be started;
step S213: starting a cold water valve;
a user can start the cold water valve to take cold water;
step S215: the temperature of the chamber is less than the third preset temperature
In step S215, determining the magnitude of the chamber temperature and the third preset temperature, and if the chamber temperature is less than the second preset temperature, performing step S217; if the compartment temperature is higher than the second preset temperature and the user cannot start the ice maker to make ice, executing step S204, continuing to reduce the temperature of the ice making compartment, and judging whether the compartment temperature is lower than a third preset temperature again;
particularly, if the temperature of the compartment is higher than the third preset temperature, when the user forcibly starts the ice maker to make ice, the refrigerator will make a sound prompt sound to prompt the user that the ice maker cannot be started;
step S217: starting an ice maker;
the user starts the ice making and automatic water filling program of the ice making machine.
In the above embodiment, preferably, the first preset temperature is greater than the second preset temperature, and the second preset temperature is greater than the third preset temperature; wherein the first predetermined temperature is about 30 deg.C, the second predetermined temperature is about 25 deg.C, and the third predetermined temperature is about 10 deg.C. The first preset temperature is set to be greater than the second preset temperature and the third preset temperature, i.e., the temperature of the start condition of the dispenser is the highest, followed by the start temperatures of the cold water valve and the ice maker. The reason is that if the refrigerator is started after power off, the remaining ice in the dispenser before power off can be taken out to meet the user's needs if the temperature of the ice making compartment does not reach the ice maker starting condition.
In some preferred embodiments, since the ice maker plays an important role in the ice making system, in order to protect the ice maker better, an initialization procedure of the ice maker is added between step S213 and step S215, that is, steps S219 and S221 are added, specifically as follows:
after the cold water valve reaches the start condition, step S219 may be performed: the temperature of the chamber is lower than a fourth preset temperature; judging the magnitude of the compartment temperature and the fourth preset temperature, if the compartment temperature is lower than the fourth preset temperature, executing a step S221, and starting an initialization program of the ice maker; if the compartment temperature is higher than the fourth preset temperature and the initialization program of the ice maker cannot be started, step S220 is executed, the temperature of the ice making compartment is continuously reduced until the compartment temperature is lower than the fourth preset temperature, and then the initialization program of the ice maker is started.
The fourth preset temperature is higher than the third preset temperature and lower than the second preset temperature, preferably the fourth preset temperature is 15 DEG C
In the invention, the ice maker initialization program is added for starting, so that the ice making operation can be protected. If the room temperature is lower than the third preset temperature, the ice maker starts the ice making program immediately, and the service life of the ice maker is influenced when the load of the ice maker is large and the ice maker is under a large load condition for a long time. The service life of the ice maker is greatly prolonged.
