Fig. 1 shows the part-structure block diagram according to the refrigerator with ice making function of the utility model preferred embodiment; Fig. 2 is the structured flowchart that illustrates according to the annexation of the ice maker of the refrigerator of the utility model preferred embodiment and water feed apparatus and control device.

Refrigerator according to the utility model preferred embodiment comprises: water feed apparatus 2, and it can comprise water intaking valve; Ice maker 4 is connected with water source such as tap via water feed apparatus 2; And get ice production apparatus 6, from ice maker 4, take out the ice cube that makes.In addition, this refrigerator also comprises control device 8, and the operation of 8 pairs of ice makers of this control device, 4 each modules and water feed apparatus 2 is controlled, to realize automatic ice-making.

Particularly, as shown in Figure 1 in this embodiment, the control device 8 of ice machine comprises: motor 82; Gear mesh 84 is driven and is rotated by this motor 82; Cam mechanism 86 engages with gear mesh 84, under the drive of gear mesh 84, rotates; Switch 88, cam mechanism 86 when rotating touch switch 88 so that switch 88 break off or be closed, break off thus or closed control device 8 and ice maker 4 and water feed apparatus 2 between be electrically connected.

Continuation is with reference to Fig. 2, and comprise according to the ice maker 4 of the utility model preferred embodiment: ice making module 41 is electrically connected to control device 8 via first switch 882, optionally to carry out the ice making operation; Temperature detecting module 42, whether it is used to detect the internal temperature of ice making module 41, accomplish to confirm the ice making operation; Heating module 43; Can be arranged on the lower surface of ice making module 41, it is electrically connected to control device 8 via second switch 884, and heating module 43 can be to ice making module 41 (particularly; The lower surface of ice making module 41) heats, so that the ice cube in the ice making module 41 breaks away from; And leave ice module 44, and be electrically connected to control device 8 via the 3rd switch 886, should leave ice module 44 can be with preparing and isolating from ice making module 41 with the ice cube of ice making module 41 disengagings.

Further, this ice maker 4 further comprises ice storage module 46, from ice module 44 is isolated the ice cube of above-mentioned disengaging from ice making module 41 after, is stored in this ice storage module 46.

Also further; This ice maker 4 further comprises visits ice module 45; It is electrically connected to control device 8 and is configured to detect the ice cube position in the ice storage module 46 via the 4th switch 888; Particularly, detect and then break off heating module 43 to stop heating when ice cube in the ice storage module 46 has been expired when visiting ice module 45.

Also with reference to Fig. 2, water feed apparatus 2 is electrically connected to control device 8 via water inlet switch 889, so that ice maker 4 is supplied water.

Fig. 3 shows the ice making work schematic flow sheet according to the refrigerator of the utility model preferred embodiment.As shown in the figure, a common complete ice-making process can mainly be divided into four steps, i.e. water inlet step S1, ice making step S2, heating steps S3 and from ice step S4.

In step S1, promptly when the user will utilize ice-maker makes ice, start ice machine, water inlet switch 889 closures of water feed apparatus 2, the water valve of water feed apparatus is opened and is begun and supplies water to ice maker 4; At this moment, motor 82 startings, gear mesh 84 drives cam mechanism 86 and rotates, and after the water yield reached requirement, cam mechanism 86 made water inlet switch 889 break off, and water inlet stops.

In step S2, the 41 beginning ice makings of ice making module; Therebetween, the internal temperature of 42 pairs of ice making modules 41 of temperature detecting module detects, and after this internal temperature arrives the setting value corresponding to ice cube formation, breaks off the power supply circuits of ice making module 41, and ice-making process is accomplished.

Next, in step S3, the 3rd switch 886 of control device 8 is triggered by cam mechanism 86, and heat the bottom of 83 pairs of ice making modules 41 of heating module, and the ice cube in the ice making module 41 is separated with the ice making module bottom.

During step S3; Further, the 4th switch 888 of control device 8 is triggered by cam mechanism 86, and the ice cube position of visiting in 45 pairs of ice storage modules 46 of ice module is detected; Whether the ice cube that promptly detects in the ice storage module 46 has expired survey; If full, then make heating module 43 stop heating, be removed up to ice cube; If less than, then heating module 43 continues heating.

In step S4; The 3rd switch 886 of control device 8 triggered by cam mechanism 86 and make from ice module 44 (such as, it is from the ice bar) will above-mentionedly prepare and from ice making module 41, isolate and be delivered in the ice storage module 45 with the ice cube of ice making module 41 disengagings.

So far, the operation of the automatic ice-making of ice machine is accomplished.According to user's needs, the ice production apparatus 6 of getting of ice machine takes out and is transferred to user's designated lane with the ice cube in the ice storage module 45, supplies the user to take away.

Preferably, capable of circulation the carrying out of whole ice making operation.Also preferably,, can guarantee inflow, avoid ice-making capacity deficiency or water to overflow through regulating flooding time to the problem that different regions hydraulic pressure there are differences.

The refrigerator with ice making function according to the utility model can be widely used in the various mechanical type refrigerators.

In refrigerator with ice making function according to the utility model because control device 8 adopts motors 82, the cam mechanism 86 that drives by motor 82 and through the rotation of cam mechanism 86 optionally switch 88 closed or that break off control the operation of each module and water feed apparatus 2 in the ice maker 4 and accomplish the whole ice making process.Particularly; Because the overall process of ice making is controlled by the start-stop of motor in the control device and the break-make of switch, thereby the ice-making process of this refrigerator do not need Single-chip Controlling, and its wiring is simple; Be easy to use and keep in repair; Cost reduces greatly, and can be used in the various mechanical type refrigerators, thereby highly versatile.

Though combined to be considered at present practical example property embodiment the utility model is described, yet, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the utility model is not limited to disclosed exemplary embodiment.All within the spirit and principle of the utility model, any modification of being done, be equal to replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within the protection domain of the utility model.
