The refrigerator 100 may further include a refrigerating system for supplying cool air to the ice making compartment 113. An ice making evaporator compartment 130 and a case evaporator compartment 140 may be provided at one side of the case 110 of the refrigerator 100. For example, an evaporator compartment may be provided in the refrigerating compartment 111 or the freezing compartment 112 of the refrigerator 100, the refrigerating system may include an ice making evaporator 131 installed in the evaporator compartment, the ice making compartment 113 may communicate with the evaporator compartment through an air duct, and an air blowing fan may be intermittently activated according to a predetermined program to send cool air in the evaporator compartment into the ice making compartment 113.
The box evaporator compartment 140 may be provided therein with a box evaporator 141, and the box evaporator compartment 140 may be connected to the storage compartment through an air duct to supply cool air into the storage compartment. A press bin may also be provided on one side of the housing 110, and a compressor and condenser may be provided in the press bin. The ice making evaporator 131 and the case evaporator 141 may be relatively connected in parallel to the compressor and the condenser. During the operation of the refrigeration system, the refrigerant compressed by the compressor may flow to the ice making evaporator 131 or the tank evaporator 141 selectively through the one-in-two-out solenoid valve after flowing through the condenser.
The ice making compartment 113 and the storage compartment may be provided with temperature sensors therein, and when the temperature of the ice making compartment 113 or the storage compartment is higher than a corresponding preset temperature, the compressor may be started to supply the refrigerant to the corresponding evaporator to perform cooling.
In the present embodiment, the ice making device 150 may include an ice making tray 151, a motor 152, and an ice detecting lever 153, and the ice making device 150 further includes an ice bank 132 disposed under the ice making tray 151. In the length direction of the ice making tray 151, the motor 152 may be located at one side of the ice making tray 151, and in the width direction of the ice making tray 151, the ice detecting lever 153 may be located at one side of the ice making tray 151, and rotation of the motor 152 may drive the ice detecting lever 153 to move up and down to detect whether the ice amount in the ice bank 132 reaches the full ice state, and if the movement of the ice detecting lever 153 is blocked, it may be determined that the ice amount in the ice bank 132 reaches the full ice state. The ice-making tray 151 may further be provided with a heating element, for example, a heating wire may be provided at the bottom of the ice-making tray 151, and when ice-turning is required, the heating wire may be activated to separate ice cubes in the ice-making tray 151 from the ice-making tray 151 so as to facilitate ice-breaking.
In an embodiment of the present invention, a temperature sensor may be installed at the bottom of the ice making tray 151, and it may be determined whether the water in the ice making tray 151 is completely frozen according to the temperature detected by the temperature sensor, or whether the water in the ice making tray 151 is completely frozen according to the freezing time period after the liquid water is injected, and an ice making end signal may be issued when it is detected that the water in the ice making tray 151 is completely frozen. The refrigerator 100 is further provided therein with a control device configured to control the air supply fan to be turned off and to control the motor 152 to drive the ice detection lever 153 to detect whether the ice storage case 132 is full of ice when receiving an ice making end signal.
In this embodiment, the air blower may be intermittently operated according to a predetermined program, for example, a temperature sensor may be provided in the ice making compartment 113, and when it is detected that the temperature in the ice making compartment 113 is lower than the predetermined temperature, the cooling system, for example, the compressor and the air blower may be started to supply cool air into the ice making compartment 113.
When the ice making end signal is received, the water in the ice making tray 151 is completely frozen, and ice needs to be removed, and at this time, if the air supply fan is in the operation process, the air supply fan can be controlled to be turned off, so as to save energy. If the ice detecting lever 153 detects that ice is not full of ice in the ice storage, an ice removing procedure can be started, and the control device can control the heating element to be started, so that ice cubes at the bottom of the ice making tray 151 are melted for ice removing.
In this embodiment, the preset time period may be set according to the performance and the requirement of the ice making device 150, and the ice making device 150 may be de-iced after the heating element is turned on for 10s, and of course, the preset time period may also be 0, that is, the ice making device 150 may be controlled to de-ice while the heating element is turned on.
In this way, when the ice making end signal is received, the air supply fan is immediately turned off, but the heating element is not started, and when the fact that the ice amount in the ice storage box 132 is less than the ice amount and the ice can be removed is detected, the heating element is started, so that energy consumption can be saved, and unnecessary melting and secondary freezing of ice cubes in the ice making tray 151 can be avoided.
In an embodiment of the invention, the control module is further configured to:
if the ice making end signal is received, the air supply fan is in an operating state, and the ice detection lever 153 detects that the ice storage box 132 is full of ice, the air supply fan is controlled to be turned on.
In this embodiment, if the blower fan is in an operating state when the ice making end signal is received, it can be determined that the temperature of the ice making compartment 113 is high at this time, and the refrigeration system needs to be operated to further reduce the temperature in the ice making compartment 113 to ensure the normal operation of the ice making device 150. When the ice detecting lever 153 detects that the ice storage case 132 is full of ice, the ice tray 151 cannot be de-iced because the storage space in the ice storage case 132 is full, and thus the heating element is not required to be turned on, and at this time, it is required to keep both ice cubes in the ice tray 151 and ice cubes in the ice storage case 132 in a frozen state, and therefore, it is required to keep the temperature of the ice making compartment 113 below a predetermined temperature, and the control device may control the air blowing fan to be turned on to continue cooling the ice making compartment 113.
Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, the ice making device 150 further includes an ice pulling member 154 for removing ice and a transmission device, and the transmission device is connected to the motor 152, the ice pulling member 154 and the ice detecting lever 153. As shown in fig. 3, the ice-making device 150 is in an ice-making state and the ice-plucking member 154 is in the first position. The motor 152 rotates in the first direction a to drive the ice pulling member 154 to rotate about 90 ° -135 ° to the second position in a direction away from the ice making tray 151, and at the same time, the ice detecting rod 153 is driven to lift, and when the motor 152 rotates in the second direction opposite to the first direction a, the ice pulling member 154 is driven to return from the second position to the first position, and at the same time, the ice detecting rod 153 is driven to fall.
In this embodiment, when receiving the ice making end signal, the control module may control the motor 152 to rotate along the first direction a, drive the ice pulling member 154 to rotate from the first position to the second position, and then control the motor 152 to rotate along the second direction, drive the ice pulling member 154 to rotate from the second position to return to the first position, and simultaneously drive the ice detecting rod 153 to lift and drop to detect whether the ice storage box 132 is full of ice.
In this embodiment, the ice stirring member 154 includes a rotating shaft 1541 connected to the transmission device, and a plurality of ice stirring teeth 1542 extending radially from the rotating shaft 1541 along the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 1541, where the plurality of ice stirring teeth 1542 are spaced apart and located in the same plane, and if ice is not fully contained in the ice storage box 132, the motor 152 is controlled to rotate along the second direction to drive the ice stirring member 154 to rotate at least one circle after the heating element is turned on for a preset period, and ice cubes can be separated from the ice making tray 151 under the action of the ice stirring teeth 1542.
In this embodiment, the motor 152 may be a stepper motor. Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the transmission device may include a reduction gear set 161 and an ice-pulling gear 162, wherein an input end of the reduction gear set 161 is connected with an output end of the motor 152, an output end of the reduction gear is meshed with the ice-pulling gear 162, the ice-pulling gear 162 is connected with the ice-pulling member 154, and rotation of the motor 152 drives the reduction gear set 161 to move, so as to drive the ice-pulling gear 162 and the ice-pulling member 154 to rotate.
The two sides of the ice-pulling gear 162 are respectively provided with a first cam and a second cam 163, the second cam 163 is rotationally connected with the swing gear 164, the ice-pulling gear 162 can drive the swing gear 164 to rotate within a certain angle range when driving the second cam 163 to rotate within a certain range, and one side of the swing gear 164 is provided with arc teeth. The transmission may further include an ice detecting gear 167 connected to the ice detecting lever 153, and a connecting gear structure connecting the swing gear 164 and the ice detecting gear 167 in a transmission manner, and the connecting gear structure may include a first connecting gear 165 and a second connecting gear 166 coaxially provided, the first connecting gear 165 may be engaged with the swing gear 164, and the second connecting gear 166 may be engaged with the ice detecting gear 167.
In the present embodiment, when the motor 152 rotates to drive the ice-pulling gear 162 to rotate from the first position to the second position along the first direction a, and rotates to drive the ice-pulling gear 162 to rotate from the second position to the first position along the second direction, the second cam 163 drives the swing gear 164 to swing rotationally, the swing gear 164 drives the first connection gear 165, the second connection gear 166 and the ice detection gear 167 to move, and then drives the ice detection rod 153 to move up and down to detect whether the ice storage box 132 is full of ice.
In this embodiment, the first connecting gear 165 and the second connecting gear 166 may be provided with elastic connection members, and when the ice storage case 132 is full of ice, the first connecting gear 165 and the second connecting gear 166 relatively move without blocking rotation when the resistance force of the ice detecting lever 153 is greater than the elastic force of the elastic connection members.
In the present embodiment, a magnet may be mounted on the ice detection gear 167 and a hall sensor may be provided on the housing of the transmission device, so that the rotation angle of the ice detection gear 167 may be detected, and whether ice is filled in the ice bank 132 may be determined according to the rotation angle of the ice detection gear 167. Of course, the magnet may be mounted on the second connecting gear 166 engaged with the ice detecting gear 167, and accordingly, the position of the hall sensor may be changed.
In this way, when the ice-making end signal is received, the ice-detecting lever 153 is controlled to detect ice, and at this time, the ice-pulling lever is operated in the first direction a opposite to the ice-removing direction, and the ice-pulling lever does not interfere with ice in the ice-making tray 151.
Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, when the ice-pulling member 154 is in the first position, the ice-pulling teeth 1542 are located outside the ice-making tray 151, and the plane of the ice-pulling teeth 1542 and the plane of the opening of the ice-making tray 151 form an acute angle. In this way, the ice-ejecting member 154 can be prevented from freezing due to water splashing in the ice-making tray 151 during ice making.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the control module is specifically configured to:
if the ice detection lever 153 detects that ice is not full in the ice bank 132, the ice-stirring member 154 is controlled to rotate for two weeks, and then the motor 152 is turned off.
In this embodiment, in order to avoid freezing of the ice-stirring member 154, the ice-stirring teeth 1542 are inclined, and the plane of the ice-stirring teeth 1542 is at an acute angle with the plane of the opening of the ice-making tray 151, so that when the ice-stirring member 154 is driven to rotate for one turn for removing ice, a part of ice cubes may be left, and the ice cubes in the ice-making tray 151 can be completely removed by rotating the ice-stirring teeth 1542 for two turns.
Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, the control module is further configured to:
the motor 152 drives the ice-pulling member 154 to rotate for one circle along the second direction to the first position, and controls the heating element to be turned off.
In this embodiment, during the first rotation of the ice-stirring member 154, most of the ice cubes in the ice-making tray 151 are separated from the ice-making tray 151 and are removed into the ice storage box 132 under the action of the ice-stirring member 154, and when the ice-stirring member 154 rotates for one rotation and returns to the first position, only a small amount of ice cubes remain in the ice-making tray 151, at this time, the heating element is controlled to be turned off, so that the ice-stirring member 154 is not affected to remove ice, excessive melting of the remaining ice cubes due to the excessively high temperature of the ice-making tray 151 can be avoided, and further increase of the temperature of the ice-making compartment 113 can be avoided. The higher the temperature of the compartment after ice making is finished, the longer the time required for making ice in the next round is, so that the energy consumption can be saved, and the ice making efficiency can be improved.
Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, the control module is further configured to:
when the motor 152 drives the ice poking piece 154 to rotate for two weeks along the second direction to the first position, the air supply fan is controlled to be started.
In the present embodiment, when the ice pulling member 154 rotates for two weeks to the first position, the ice removing process is completed, and the water supply device may be turned on to supply water into the ice making tray 151 to continue ice making. Since the temperature of the ice making compartment 113 is too high to perform the ice making process after the ice making is completed, it is necessary to turn on the cooling system to supply cool air into the ice making compartment 113. The air blower is turned on after the two-week ice-removing operation of the ice-pulling member 154 is completed, so that the ice which is not removed from the ice-making tray 151 after the heating element is turned off is prevented from being frozen for the second time, and the ice-removing process is prevented from being influenced.
It should be understood that although the present disclosure describes embodiments in terms of examples, not every embodiment is provided with a single embodiment, and that this description is for clarity only, and that the skilled artisan should recognize that the embodiments may be combined appropriately to form other embodiments that will be understood by those skilled in the art.
The above list of detailed descriptions is only specific to practical embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and all equivalent embodiments or modifications that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
