  In FIG. 1, the refrigerator main body 1 is divided into a refrigerator compartment 10, an ice making compartment 20, a switching compartment 30, a vegetable compartment 40, and a freezer compartment 50 in order from the top.

  In the refrigerator according to the present embodiment, the refrigerator compartment 10 and the freezer compartment 50 can each select a room temperature in three stages, and the switching chamber 30 can switch between the refrigerator temperature and the refrigerator temperature.

  A refrigerating room temperature detection sensor 11 is disposed in the refrigerating room 10 to control the room temperature of the refrigerating room 10. The refrigerating room 10 includes a revolving refrigerating room door (not shown), and a door switch 12 for detecting the open / closed state of the refrigerating room door is provided.

  An ice making device 21 is disposed in the ice making chamber 20, and water supplied from the water supply tank 13 is stored in an ice making tray 22 for ice making. The ice making chamber 20 includes a drawer type ice making chamber door 23, and a door switch 24 for detecting the open / closed state of the ice making chamber door 23 is disposed.

  A switching chamber temperature detection sensor 31 is attached in the switching chamber 30 to control the room temperature of the switching chamber 30. The switching chamber 30 is provided with a drawer-type switching chamber door (not shown).

  The vegetable room 40 is configured with a drawer-type vegetable room door. A freezer temperature sensor 51 is attached in the freezer compartment 50 (not shown) to control the room temperature of the freezer compartment 50. The freezer compartment 50 is provided with a drawer-type freezer compartment door 52, and a door switch 53 for detecting the open / close state of the freezer compartment door 52 is provided.

  In FIG. 2, a control device 60 controls a compressor 70, a water supply pump 80 used in the water supply device, a drive motor 90 used as a drive device for the ice making device 21, a blower 100, and the like. It is comprised from the etc., and is arrange | positioned at the electrical equipment board | substrate arrange | positioned at the back surface of the refrigerator main body 1 (not shown).

  The outside temperature detection sensor 110 is a temperature sensor that detects the ambient temperature of the refrigerator.

  Although a compressor circuit, a condenser, a pressure reducing device, and an evaporator are connected in a tubular form with a refrigerant pipe in order, a refrigerant circuit is configured, but this is not shown.

  About the refrigerator comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below.

  In FIG. 3, first, an ice making program which is a calculation function of the control device 60 selects a basic ice making time determined in advance by the outside air temperature and the temperature control setting of each storage room.

  This basic ice making time is the time from the start of water supply to the de-icing.

  Next, when the basic ice making time selected after the water supply has passed, it is determined whether or not the ice making time needs to be extended based on the door open / close state of each storage room and the room temperature.

  That is, when a load change occurs during the basic ice making time, the ice making time is extended in advance depending on the door opening time or the room temperature rise.

  Finally, when the ice making chamber temperature t1 becomes −10 ° C. or lower, it is determined that ice making is completed and ice removal is performed.

  In this embodiment, the ice making program recognizes that the ice making room temperature t1 is the temperature detected by the freezer temperature sensor 51.

  In FIG. 4, it is clear that the freezer compartment temperature detection sensor 51 and the ice making room temperature t <b> 1 have synchronized characteristics although they show a certain divergence. It is possible to estimate the ice making temperature t1 from the detected temperature.

  5 and 6, in the present embodiment, as a condition indicating the temperature characteristic of FIG. 4, the ice making chamber temperature t1 is the temperature after the cold air discharged to the ice making chamber 20 passes through the vicinity of the ice making tray 22. On the other hand, the freezer compartment temperature detection sensor 51 is installed in a place for detecting the return air temperature to the evaporator in the air passage in the freezer compartment 50.

  As described above, the ice making temperature t1 is estimated based on the temperature detected by the freezer temperature detection sensor 51 to determine completion of ice making. However, the detected temperature of the freezer temperature detecting sensor 51 described above and the ice making are determined according to the operation state of the refrigerator. The temperature t1 may deviate, so that correction needs to be made depending on operating conditions.

  In FIG. 7, when the door 12 of the refrigerator compartment 10 is opened during the operation of the cooling system and the door switch 13 detects this, the compressor 70 continues to operate but the blower 100 stops. In this state, due to the influence of the natural temperature distribution in the refrigerator, the ice making room room temperature t1 rises with a deviation from the temperature detected by the freezer temperature detecting sensor 51.

  In addition to this, since the compressor 70 is in operation, it has become clear that the temperature of the evaporator decreases and the temperature of the freezer compartment temperature detection sensor 51 decreases under the influence of the temperature.

  As described above, it can be seen that the divergence due to the two factors is proportional to the opening time of the door 12.

  Therefore, when the door 12 is opened during the cooling system operation, the deviance temperature K2 is obtained by (Equation 1) as a function of the elapsed time since the opening, and the ice making chamber temperature t1 is corrected (Equation 2).

  In FIG. 8, when the door 12 of the refrigerator compartment 10 is opened during the operation of the cooling system, the compressor 70 continues to operate but the blower 100 stops, and the ice making chamber temperature t1 is corrected by Equation 2. In this state, the temperature distribution of the ice making room has a tendency that the temperature hardly rises until a certain time elapses. Therefore, it is necessary to start the correction after the door 12 of the refrigerator compartment 10 elapses after a certain time.

  Therefore, when the door 12 is opened during the operation of the cooling system, the ice making chamber temperature t1 is corrected by obtaining the divergence temperature K3 as a function based on the elapsed time since the door 12 was opened, using (Equation 3).

  In FIG. 9, the ice making chamber temperature t1 is corrected by Equation 2, but when the door 12 of the refrigerated chamber 10 after correction is closed, the temperature distribution in the ice making chamber tends to decrease, so the correction needs to be subtracted. .

  Therefore, when the door 12 is opened and closed during operation of the cooling system, the ice making chamber temperature t1 is corrected by obtaining the deviation correction temperature Y by (Equation 4) as a function of the time elapsed since the door was closed. (Equation 5).

  In FIG. 10, the ice making temperature t1 is corrected in (Equation 5), but when the elapsed time since the door is closed passes for a certain time, the deviation correction temperature Y becomes higher than K3, and the ice making correction time t1 is set. In order to decrease, the deviation correction temperature Y is set to 0 (Equation 6).

  Further, although the ice making temperature t1 is corrected in (Equation 2), since the temperature of the ice making chamber rises and deviates from the actual temperature by starting defrosting, the deviation correction temperature Y is set to 0 (Equation 7).

  As described above, in the ice making room 20 and the freezing room 50 each independently formed, the ice making program of the present embodiment selects a predetermined basic ice making time by setting the outside air temperature and the temperature control of each storage room. In addition, since the completion of ice making was judged by adding the extension of ice making time depending on the door open / close status and room temperature of each storage room, simple and relatively high-precision control could be realized.

  In addition, in the ice making chamber 20 and the freezer compartment 50 that are independently formed, the ice making program of this embodiment calculates the ice making chamber temperature t1 based on the temperature detected by the freezer temperature detecting sensor 51, and the ice making is completed. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately install the temperature detection sensor 51 in the ice making chamber 20, and the cost can be reduced.

(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 11: is a front view of the state which removed the door of the refrigerator in Embodiment 2 of this invention. FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the refrigerator in the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 13 is a temperature characteristic diagram of the refrigerator in the second embodiment of the present invention.

  11 and 12, the refrigerator main body 1 is divided into a refrigerator compartment 10, a freezer compartment 120, and a vegetable compartment 130 in order from the top.

  The freezer compartment 120 includes an ice making section 140, a first freezing section 150, and a second freezing section 160 in order from the top.

  Furthermore, an ice making compartment door 141 and a second freezing compartment door 161 which are drawer type doors are configured in each compartment.

  An ice making device 142 is attached in the ice making section 140, and the water supplied from the water supply tank 13 is stored in an ice making tray 143 for ice making. A door switch 144 for detecting the open / close state of the ice making compartment door 141 is provided.

  A freezing compartment temperature detection sensor 162 is attached to the second freezing compartment 160 to control the room temperature of the second freezing compartment 160. A door switch 163 for detecting the open / close state of the second freezing compartment door 161 is provided.

  Here, the blower 200 according to the present embodiment has a configuration in which the rotational speed can be switched stepwise by the output from the control device 60. At this time, the rotation speed of the blower 200 is automatically adjusted by the ambient temperature, the temperature adjustment setting, and the internal temperature.

  About the refrigerator comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below.

  In FIG. 13, when water is supplied to the ice tray 143, the temperature in the ice tray 143 rises rapidly. Thereafter, the temperature of the ice tray 143 is stabilized at about −3 ° C. while the supplied water is in the latent heat change state, and then the temperature of the ice tray 143 rapidly decreases when the supplied water is completely frozen.

  Here, the ice making chamber temperature t1 changes depending on the use conditions and operating conditions of the refrigerator, so that the time until ice making is completed changes, but the amount of heat required for ice making per change does not change so far. It became clear by experiment.

  In the ice making program of this example, this amount of heat was calculated by (Equation 5). This is the result of integrating the value obtained by multiplying the temperature difference between the temperature (−3 ° C.) of the ice tray 143 during the change of latent heat and the ice making compartment temperature t2 by the air flow coefficient g, and when this value reaches a predetermined value, It was decided to complete.

  Here, the air flow coefficient g is obtained by correcting the operating state of the blower 100 under a predetermined operating condition as 1, and correcting the increase / decrease of the air flow as a coefficient according to the operating state of the blower 100.

  As described above, the temperature t1 of the ice making chamber is estimated based on the temperature detected by the freezer temperature detection sensor 162, and the completion of ice making is determined. However, the detected temperature of the freezer temperature detecting sensor 162 described above depends on the operating condition of the refrigerator. The ice making temperature t1 may deviate, and the same correction as in the first embodiment is applied in this embodiment.

  As described above, even in the refrigerator in which the ice making section 140 and the second freezing section 160 are configured in the freezer compartment 120 and each has its own door, the ice making program of the present embodiment uses the freezing section temperature detection sensor. Since the ice making chamber temperature t2 is calculated based on the detected temperature 162 to determine the completion of ice making, it is not necessary to install a separate temperature detection sensor in the ice making section 140, and costs can be reduced.

  Further, by integrating the value obtained by multiplying the temperature difference between the ice tray 143 during the change of latent heat (−3 ° C.) and the ice making compartment temperature t2 by the air flow coefficient g, the ice making is completed when this value becomes a predetermined value. As a result, concise and accurate control was achieved.

  The freezing compartment temperature detection sensor 162 is located below the freezing compartment 160 and is arranged to detect the temperature of the return cold air from the freezing compartment 120. However, the ice making compartment 140, the first freezing compartment 150, etc. Even if it is disposed above 120, the ice making program can be applied by reviewing the correlation between the ice making compartment temperature t1 and the freezing compartment temperature detection sensor 162.

  As described above, the refrigerator according to the present invention can be applied to a commercial refrigerator because it can control the completion of ice making by calculating the temperature of the ice making chamber with a temperature detection sensor installed in the freezer.
