The ice maker can adopt a twisting type ice removing mode, and can also remove ice by installing an ice rake structure. When the ice maker adopts a twist-type deicing structure, the ice making tray 212 is pivotally mounted on the frame 211.
The ice maker is also provided with an ice probe 240 and a motor for driving the ice probe 240. The ice detecting rod 240 is used for detecting the amount of ice stored in the ice bank 220, the ice detecting rod 240 may be installed at one side of the ice making tray 212, the motor may be installed on the frame 211 and located at one end of the ice making tray 212, one end of the ice detecting rod 240 may be connected to the motor, and the motor may rotate to drive the ice detecting rod 240 to swing up and down within a preset range. When the ice detecting rod 240 detects the amount of ice stored in the ice bank 220, the motor rotates to drive the ice detecting rod 240 to rotate towards one side of the ice bank 220, the free end of the ice detecting rod 240 extends into the ice bank 220, and the amount of ice stored in the ice bank 220 is determined according to whether the movement of the ice detecting rod 240 is blocked. After the ice probing of the ice probing rod 240 is finished, the motor may be driven to rotate in a reverse direction to drive the ice probing rod 240 to rotate in a direction away from the ice storage box 220 to return to the initial position.
An avoiding groove 222 is formed in the position, corresponding to the ice detecting rod 240, of the rear wall 221 of the ice storage box 220, the avoiding groove 222 penetrates through the top edge of the rear wall 221 of the ice storage box 220, and the bottom wall of the avoiding groove 222 is lower than the lowest position of the tail end 241 of the ice detecting rod 240. A cover assembly closing the escape slot 222 is further disposed on the ice bank 220, and the cover assembly can move toward an outside of the ice bank 220 to open the escape slot 222.
In this embodiment, the ice bank 220 can be placed on a rack inside the body 110 of the refrigerator 100, and when a user needs to take a large amount of ice, the user can pull the ice bank 220 to take it out of the body 110, thereby taking out the ice cubes stored in the ice bank 220.

The control module controls the operation of the ice making device 200 according to the opening and closing signals of the door 120 detected by the door state detection module. When it is detected that the door 120 of the refrigerator 100 is opened, the control module controls the ice making device 200 to stop working, so as to prevent an error in an ice making process caused by directly taking out the ice bank 220 after the user opens the door 120 of the refrigerator 100. At this time, if the ice detecting rod 240 performs the ice detecting operation, the ice detecting rod 240 is directly stopped at a position where the door 120 is opened.
If a user directly takes out the ice bank 220 after opening the door 120, at this time, the ice-detecting rod 240 may be partially located in the ice bank 220, and when the user pulls the ice bank 220 outward, the ice-detecting rod 240 abuts against the cover assembly, and under the action of an external force applied by the user, the ice-detecting rod 240 drives the cover assembly to move toward the outside of the ice bank 220 to open the avoiding groove 222, so that when the user pulls the ice bank 220 outward, the ice-detecting rod 240 can pass through the avoiding groove 222 of the rear wall 221 of the ice bank 220.
In addition, the cover plate component capable of closing the avoiding groove 222 is arranged at the avoiding groove 222, so that the ice storage capacity of the ice storage box 220 can be increased, and when a user takes out the ice storage box 220, ice cubes in the ice storage box 220 cannot fall from the avoiding groove 222, so that the user experience is good.
Further, the motor is installed at a side opposite to the rear wall 221 of the ice bank 220, the free end of the ice-detecting rod 240 is close to the side of the rear wall 221 of the ice bank 220, both ends of the ice-detecting rod 240 are tilted upward, and the middle portion of the ice-detecting rod protrudes toward the ice bank 220. In this embodiment, the ice-detecting rod 240 may extend along the removing direction of the ice bank 220, the motor may be installed at a side close to the user, and when the user puts the removed ice bank 220 back into the refrigerator 100, if the ice-detecting rod 240 is partially located in the ice bank 220 at this time, during the movement of the ice bank 220, the rear wall 221 of the ice bank 220 presses the ice-detecting rod 240 to drive the ice-detecting rod 240 to rotate in a direction away from the ice bank 220, so that the user may put the ice bank 220 back into the refrigerator 100 without being blocked by the ice-detecting rod 240.
Further, the cover plate assembly includes a cover plate 223 pivotally connected to the rear wall 221 and an elastic member 224 interposed between the cover plate 223 and the rear wall 221, the elastic member 224 providing an elastic force to return the cover plate 223 to a position of closing the escape groove 222.
In the present embodiment, a rotation shaft 227 is provided at one side of the escape groove 222, and the cover plate 223 is pivotally connected to the rear wall 221 of the ice bank 220 by the rotation shaft 227, and particularly, the rotation shaft 227 between the cover plate 223 and the rear wall 221 is provided at the bottom wall of the escape groove 222. A fixing seat 226 for mounting the rotation shaft 227 may be provided at a bottom wall of the escape groove 222. The wall of the avoiding groove 222 and the edge of the cover plate 223 are stepped and fit with each other. When the cover 223 is in the open state, the elastic member 224 applies an elastic force to the cover 223 to return to the closed position. After the user completely takes out the ice bank 220, the cover plate 223 is no longer blocked by the ice-detecting rod 240, and can automatically return to the position for closing the avoidance groove 222 under the action of the elastic element 224 without manual operation of the user, and immediately return after the ice-detecting rod 240 is separated, so that the ice in the ice bank 220 can be prevented from falling. Meanwhile, the step surface of the avoiding groove 222 can limit the cover plate 223, so that the cover plate 223 is prevented from swinging, or the cover plate 223 is not tightly matched with the avoiding groove 222 due to the large elastic restoring force of the elastic element 224.
Further, a magnetic attraction component 225 is installed between the cover plate 223 and the avoiding groove 222. The magnetic component 225 includes magnets with different magnetic poles respectively installed on the avoiding groove 222 and the cover plate 223, and specifically, the magnetic component 225 is installed on a stepped surface of the cover plate 223 opposite to the avoiding groove 222. The closing force of the cover plate 223 is increased by providing the magnetic attraction component 225, so that when the ice bank 220 is pulled, ice in the ice bank 220 is further prevented from colliding with the cover plate 223 to cause the cover plate 223 to open ice and fall.
Further, the elastic member 224 includes a torsion spring mounted on the rotating shaft 227, and the magnetic attraction member 225 is mounted on a side of the avoiding groove 222 opposite to the rotating shaft 227.
In this embodiment, the torsion spring and the magnetic attraction component 225 are respectively disposed on two opposite sides, so that the cover plate 223 is stressed more uniformly. Both ends of the cover plate 223 can be tightly closed to the escape grooves 222. In addition, when the user takes out the ice bank 220, the ice detecting rod 240 presses the cover 223 to open the avoiding groove 222, and in the process of opening the cover 223, the larger the opening degree of the cover 223 is, the larger the elastic force generated by the torsion spring is, the larger the restoring force applied by the torsion spring to the cover 223 is, the larger the resistance force applied by the ice detecting rod 240 is, and therefore, in the process of taking out the ice bank 220, the force applied by the torsion spring to the ice detecting rod 240 is not uniform. In the opening process of the cover plate 223, the larger the opening degree of the cover plate 223 is, the smaller the attraction force of the magnetic attraction component 225 is, that is, the larger the opening degree of the cover plate 223 is, the smaller the restoring force applied to the cover plate 223 by the magnetic attraction component 225 is.
So, set up the torsional spring simultaneously and inhale subassembly 225 magnetically, open the in-process at apron 223, torsional spring and magnetism inhale subassembly 225 and to apron 223 power of exerting balance each other, can be so that apron 223 atress is even to make the power that ice detection rod 240 received more even, avoid ice detection rod 240 uneven damage that causes of long-term atress.
Further, when the door state detection module detects that the door 120 of the refrigerator 100 is opened, the door state detection module sends a door 120 opening signal to the control module. When the control module receives an opening signal of the door 120 of the refrigerator 100, the control module controls to close the ice making device 200, and controls the motor to drive the ice detecting rod 240 to return to the initial position after a preset time period.
In the present embodiment, the ice bank 220 may be taken out immediately after the user opens the door 120 of the refrigerator 100, and therefore, when it is detected that the door 120 of the refrigerator 100 is opened, the ice making device 200 is controlled to be closed, and at this time, the ice detecting rod 240 may be located at an ice detecting position and partially located in the ice bank 220, but the avoiding groove 222 and the cover plate assembly are provided on the rear wall 221 of the ice bank 220, and when the ice bank 220 is taken out, the ice detecting rod 240 does not interfere with the rear wall 221 of the ice bank 220. However, when the ice bank 220 is returned to the refrigerator 100, the ice-detecting lever 240 may interfere with the cover assembly due to the cover assembly provided at the escape slot 222. Consequently, control motor drive and visit ice-bar 240 and reply initial position after detecting that refrigerator 100 door body 120 opens and predetermine for a long time, also be drive and visit ice-bar 240 and reply inoperative position, when avoiding the user to put into ice storage box 220, visit ice-bar 240 and apron subassembly take place to interfere, so, the apron subassembly can not extrude and visit ice-bar 240, avoids causing the damage to visiting ice-bar 240. Meanwhile, the ice detecting rod 240 is controlled to return after the door body 120 is opened for a preset time, so that the influence on user experience caused by the movement of the ice detecting rod 240 when the user takes out the ice storage barrel can be avoided.
Further, when the door state detection module detects that the door 120 is closed, the door state detection module sends a door 120 closing signal to the control module, and at this time, the control module controls the motor to drive the ice detecting rod 240 to detect the amount of ice in the ice storage box 220, and controls the ice maker according to the amount of ice in the ice storage box 220.
In this embodiment, the ice detecting rod 240 is controlled to return to the initial position after the door 120 is opened for a preset time, after the door 120 is closed, the ice detecting rod 240 is first driven to detect the amount of ice, and then the ice maker is controlled according to the amount of ice detected by the ice detecting rod 240 instead of directly starting the ice making device 200 to continue to operate, so that it is possible to avoid that a user does not take out ice cubes after taking out the ice storage bin 220 or actively puts in ice cubes to cause an error in the operation of the ice making device 200.
It should be understood that although the present description refers to embodiments, not every embodiment may contain only a single embodiment, and such description is for clarity only, and those skilled in the art will be able to make the description as a whole, and the embodiments may be appropriately combined to form other embodiments as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art.
