In this embodiment, the first threshold may be set according to the heating temperature of the water injection pipe 12 and the second preset time, which is not limited herein. Illustratively, the preset difference threshold is +1 ℃ when the heating temperature of the water injection pipe 12 is 10-15 ℃ and the second preset time is 2 min.

Illustratively, the first compartment may be a freezing compartment or a low-temperature compartment separately set up for making ice. It can be understood that the refrigerator further includes a refrigeration system for providing refrigeration capacity for each compartment, which is not described herein.

It can be understood that, in the ice making process, if the temperature of the water output by the water delivery device 11 is high, the water temperature and the water injection pipe 12 have a large positive temperature difference, and in this case, the water injection can be determined whether to inject the hot water according to whether the temperature change of the water injection pipe 12 reaches a certain positive temperature difference.

It can be understood that the accumulated ice making time refers to an accumulated time length of the current ice making, and is not described herein.

Compared with the prior art, the refrigerator disclosed by the embodiment of the invention judges whether hot water is injected or not by detecting whether the temperature change of the water injection pipe 12 before and after water injection reaches a first threshold value, namely a certain positive temperature difference, and correspondingly prolongs the ice making time when the hot water is injected, so that the ice making failure caused by insufficient ice making time is prevented, and the success rate of ice making can be effectively improved.

For example, the second compartment may be a compartment having a temperature higher than 0 ℃, such as a refrigerating compartment or a temperature-variable compartment, to prevent the water box 111 from freezing. Wherein the water box 111 may be arranged at the bottom of said second compartment 02, where an air outlet and a damper are provided, which may be maintained at a low temperature, for example at 0-3 ℃. The water pump 113 pumps water in the water box 111 through the upper water pipe 112 and injects the water into the water injection pipe 12 through the lower water pipe 114.

It can be understood that, in the ice making process, if the water output by the water supply device 11 is cold water, for example, 0-3 ℃, and the water injection pipe 12 reaches a higher temperature after being heated by the heater 13, the water temperature and the water injection pipe 12 have a larger negative temperature difference, and in this case, the water injection can be determined whether to inject cold water according to whether the temperature change of the water injection pipe 12 reaches a certain negative temperature difference.

It can be understood that, in the ice making process, if the water temperature in the water box is equal to the temperature of the water injection pipe 12, a positive temperature difference or a negative temperature difference cannot be formed, the hot water/cold water judgment is not established, at this time, the water injection failure is not judged, but normal ice making/water injection is continued, after a plurality of cycles, the water temperature should be balanced to the temperature of the air in the second chamber, at this time, the cold water judgment condition should be established, if the water injection failure is not established, the water injection failure is judged, and the accuracy of the water injection failure judgment can be improved.

Illustratively, controlling the ice maker 10 to stop operating includes: stopping heating, filling water and making ice.

In this embodiment, it is determined whether cold water is injected by detecting whether the temperature change of the water injection pipe 12 before and after water injection reaches the second threshold, that is, a certain negative temperature difference, and ice is made at a normal target ice making time when it is determined that cold water is injected, so that the ice making time is prevented from being excessively long, and it is determined whether water having a temperature close to that of the water injection pipe 12 is injected or water shortage by detecting whether the temperature change of the water injection pipe 12 before and after water injection reaches the first threshold or the second threshold in combination with the temperature change value of the water injection pipe 12 detected many times, and when it is determined that water shortage occurs, the ice making machine 10 is controlled to stop operating, so that the ice making machine 10 is prevented from idling.

Wherein the third threshold is greater than 0, e.g. 3 ℃.

For example, the water injection pipe in this embodiment may be made of a material with good thermal conductivity so as to be heated to a high temperature, and also to be rapidly cooled by the water flow within a short time of water injection.

Illustratively, the preset difference threshold is +1 ℃ when the heating temperature of the water injection pipe is 10-15 ℃ and the second preset time is 2 min.

It can be understood that, in the ice making process, if the temperature of the water output by the water delivery device is higher, the water temperature and the water injection pipe have larger positive temperature difference, and in this case, the water injection can be carried out by judging whether the hot water is injected or not through whether the temperature change of the water injection pipe reaches a certain positive temperature difference or not.

Wherein the water box can be arranged at the bottom of the second compartment, and an air outlet and a damper are arranged at the bottom of the second compartment, so that the temperature can be kept low, such as 0-3 ℃. The water pump pumps water in the water box through the water feeding pipe and injects the water into the water injection pipe through the water discharging pipe.

It can be understood that, in the ice making process, if the water output by the water supply device is cold water, for example, 0-3 ℃, and the water injection pipe is heated by the heater to reach a higher temperature, the water temperature and the water injection pipe have a larger negative temperature difference, and in this case, the water injection can be performed by determining whether the cold water is injected or not by determining whether the temperature change of the water injection pipe reaches a certain negative temperature difference.
