When ice cube was supplied to the fixed tray 65 that is connected with the first discharge portion 31a, the blade planing that ice cube is rotated by Rotary tray 71 was to be discharged from by water ice discharge portion 67.The water ice that is discharged from is drained into distributor 41 by ice pipeline 51.
Refrigerator comprises control part 81, control part 81 is set the opening/closing reference time, so that ice feed drive portion 27 has the predetermined operation cycle, storage begins the last opening/closing time of process from the last operation cycle of icing feed drive portion 27 when water ice unit drives portion 75 stops, and when being driven once more in water ice unit drives portion 75, drive the ice feed drive portion 27 and the last opening/closing time period of residue in the last operation cycle of continuing, and drive ice feed drive portion 27 according to the operation cycle then.
And, when water ice unit drives portion 75 is driven, control part 81 was measured according to driven ice feed drive portion opening/closing time of 27 in operation cycle, and, if the opening/closing reference time in respective operations cycle opening/closing time of the ice feed drive portion 27 that records, then control part 81 is measured the opening/closing time of new ice feed drive portion 27.
And control part 81 is no matter power supply is turned off, and storage begins the last opening/closing time of process from the last operation cycle of icing feed drive portion 27.
And control part 81 is in the operating time of water ice console switch 49 drive water ice unit drives portion 75 and ice feed drive portion 27.
Describe for the control method refrigerator with above-mentioned structure, that discharge water ice with reference to Fig. 4 to 6.
As shown in Figure 5, at first, open reference time T 1, refWith close reference time T 2, refBe set to control part 81, so that ice feed drive portion 27 is according to predetermined operation cycle T 1, ref+ T 2, refBe driven (S10).Here, open reference time T 1, refBe that ice feed drive portion 27 was actuated to the time of water ice unit drives portion 75 supply ice cubes, and close reference time T 2, refBe that ice feed drive portion 27 is stopped so that not to time of water ice unit drives portion 75 supply ice cubes.Close reference time T 2, refGreater than opening reference time T 1, ref, and therefore, the ice cube amount that water ice unit drives portion 75 is planed can be less than icing the ice cube amount that feed drive portion 27 is supplied.This has prevented the damage with relevant portion of overflowing of ice that the excessive supply because of ice cube causes.
Opening/closing reference time T 1, refAnd T 2, refCan before being driven at first, refrigerator set, still, alternatively, opening/closing reference time T 1, refAnd T 2, refCan set just when in use at refrigerator by the user.
Then, the user operates water ice console switch 49 obtaining water ices (S20) from distributor 41, and promotes to ice bar 45 (S25) with the container that holds water ice.Then, control part 81 drives water ice unit drives portion 75 and ice feed drive portion 27 according to the operation of ice bar 45.In operation ice bar 45, water ice unit drives portion 75 is continued to drive, and ice feed drive portion 27 is according to operation cycle T 1, ref+ T 2, refDrive or stop.On the other hand, under the situation of user's inoperation water ice console switch 49 and ice bar 45, control part 81 does not drive water ice unit drives portion 75 and ice feed drive 27 (S30 and the S40) of portion.
When water ice unit drives portion 75 is driven (S50), control part 81 is measured according to operation cycle T 1, ref+ T 2, refThe opening/closing time T of driven ice feed drive portion 27 1And T 2(S60), and subsequently store the opening/closing time T that records 1And T 2(S70).
Then, control part 81 is with the opening/closing time T of storage 1And T 2With opening/closing reference time T 1, refAnd T 2, ref(S80) compares.
At ice when bar 45 is pushed, if record open time T 1Less than opening reference time T 1, ref, then control part 81 drives ice feed drive portion 27 until opening the reference time (S90).Yet, if record open time T 1Greater than opening reference time T 1, ref, then control part 81 stops to ice feed drive portion 27 (S100).
Then, under the state that ice feed drive portion 27 is stopped, control part 81 is measured the shut-in time T of ice feed drive portion 27 2, and with the shut-in time T that records 2With close reference time T 2, ref(S110) compares.If the shut-in time T that records 2Greater than closing reference time T 2, ref, that is, if the opening/closing time T that records 1And T 2Greater than operation cycle T 1, ref+ T 2, ref, then ice the time T of opening of feed drive portion 27 1Measured once more.Just, the opening/closing time of ice feed drive portion 27 is remeasured (S120).
The ice cube that 75 planings of water ice unit drives portion are periodically supplied by ice feed drive portion 27, and will dig good ice cube and discharge by distributor 41.
If the user discharges container to stop to obtain water ice from ice bar 45, then control part 81 stops water ice unit drives portion 75 and ice feed drive portion 27 simultaneously.
When water ice unit drives portion 75 was stopped with ice feed drive portion 27, control part 81 was measured also storage begins process from the last operation cycle of icing feed drive portion 27 last opening/closing time X and Y.Control part 80 is no matter power-off is stored the last opening/closing time X and the Y that begin process from the last operation cycle of ice feed drive portion 27.
Then, the user operates ice bar 45 once more to obtain water ice, and control part 81 drives water ice unit drives portion 75 and ice feed drive portion 27 once more based on the operation of ice bar 45.
Then, control part 81 drives or stops to ice the 27 1 remaining time period T of feed drive portion 1, ref-X and T 2, ref-Y, the above-mentioned time period deducts last opening/closing time X and Y obtains from opening/closing the reference time, and control part 81 drives ice feed drive portion 27 according to the operation cycle then.For example, as shown in Figure 5, in the operation second time of water ice unit drives portion 75, control part 81 drives ice feed drive portion 27 also to continue a time period T to water ice unit drives portion 75 supply ice cubes 1, ref-X.And in the operation for the third time of water ice unit drives portion 75, control part 81 stops to ice the 27 1 time period T of feed drive portion 2, ref-Y, and subsequently according to operation cycle T 1, ref+ T 2, refDrive ice feed drive portion 27.
In this structure, according to this method of operating, no matter the ice cube that feed drive portion 27 can supply convention amounts to water ice unit drives portion 75 how, is iced in the operation of water ice unit drives portion 75.
Therefore, described refrigerator and control method thereof can allow the user to obtain the water ice of aequum, and the excessive supply of anti-stagnant ice, thereby and anti-stagnant ice overflow damage with relevant portion.
Although illustrated and described embodiments of the invention; yet those skilled in the art can understand; can make change in this embodiment under the situation that does not break away from principle of the present invention and marrow, protection scope of the present invention is limited in claim and the equivalent thereof.
