Description

本発明は、冷蔵庫に関する。 The present invention relates to a refrigerator.

特許文献１は、温度制御を停止するとともに、複数の断線検出用リード線の接続を順次切換えながら断線検出用リード線に流れる電流を取り込み、その電流量に基づいてヒータの断線の有無を検出する方法を開示する（００１０）。すなわち、通常の温度制御を敢えて停止した上で、リレーを使って断線検知対象を順次切り替えて、断線検出用リード線３に流れる電流値に基づいて断線警報器でヒータに断線がないか確認する構成を開示する。 Patent Document 1 captures the current flowing through the disconnection detection lead wire while stopping the temperature control and sequentially switching the connection of the plurality of disconnection detection lead wires, and detects the presence or absence of the heater disconnection based on the amount of the current. The method is disclosed (0010). That is, after the normal temperature control is intentionally stopped, the disconnection detection target is sequentially switched using the relay, and the disconnection alarm confirms whether the heater is disconnected based on the current value flowing through the disconnection detection lead wire 3. Disclose the configuration.

特許文献１は、ヒータの故障（断線）の検査を行うものであり、対象のヒータについて、断線検知用の制御を通常の駆動とは別に実行する必要がある。ヒータによる加熱を行うべきか停止すべきかといったヒータの必要性を検出しようとするものではない。 Patent Document 1 inspects a heater failure (disconnection), and it is necessary to perform control for detecting disconnection of the target heater separately from normal driving. It does not attempt to detect the need for a heater, such as whether heating by the heater should be performed or stopped.

以下、添付の図面を参照しながら本発明の実施例について説明する。本発明の各種の構成要素は必ずしも個々に独立したものである必要はなく、一の構成要素が複数の部材から成ること、複数の構成要素が一の部材から成ること、等を許容する。 Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The various components of the present invention do not necessarily have to be individually independent, and allow one component to be composed of a plurality of members, a plurality of components to be composed of one member, and the like.

図１は実施例１の冷蔵庫の横断面図である。冷蔵庫は、上から順に２つの冷蔵室と、冷凍室と、野菜室とを有する。例えば冷蔵室内には、給水タンク２０及び給水タンク２０内の水を汲み上げる給水ポンプモータ２が配されている。冷凍室内には、製氷皿１０と、製氷皿１０を回動させる製氷皿回動用モータ１が配されている。給水ポンプモータ２で汲み上げられた水は、製氷皿１０に供給される。 FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the refrigerator of the first embodiment. The refrigerator has two refrigerating rooms, a freezing room, and a vegetable room in this order from the top. For example, in the refrigerating room, a water supply tank 20 and a water supply pump motor 2 for pumping water in the water supply tank 20 are arranged. In the freezing chamber, an ice tray 10 and an ice tray rotation motor 1 for rotating the ice tray 10 are arranged. The water pumped by the water supply pump motor 2 is supplied to the ice tray 10.

また、図１の断面では看取できないが、冷蔵室内には真空貯蔵室と真空貯蔵室を脱気する真空ポンプモータ３が配されている。また、冷蔵庫の冷凍サイクルやモータ１～３を制御する制御装置（例えば制御マイコン８）が配されている。 Further, although it cannot be seen in the cross section of FIG. 1, a vacuum storage chamber and a vacuum pump motor 3 for degassing the vacuum storage chamber are arranged in the refrigerating chamber. Further, a control device (for example, a control microcomputer 8) for controlling the refrigerating cycle of the refrigerator and the motors 1 to 3 is arranged.

図２は実施例１に係るモータ異常検出回路ブロックである。自動製氷機能で使用する製氷皿回動用モータ１及び給水ポンプモータ２は第１モータドライバＩＣ４で駆動され、真空ポンプモータ３は第２モータドライバＩＣ５で駆動される。各モータ１～３の運転電流は各モータドライブＩＣのＧＮＤ部に共通で接続したシャント抵抗６（運転検知部）を介して電圧に変換した後にオペアンプ７で増幅され制御マイコン８に入力される。 FIG. 2 is a motor abnormality detection circuit block according to the first embodiment. The ice tray rotation motor 1 and the water supply pump motor 2 used in the automatic ice making function are driven by the first motor driver IC4, and the vacuum pump motor 3 is driven by the second motor driver IC5. The operating current of each of the motors 1 to 3 is converted into a voltage via a shunt resistor 6 (operation detection unit) commonly connected to the GND unit of each motor drive IC, then amplified by the operational amplifier 7 and input to the control microcomputer 8.

自動製氷機能では、例えば給水後一定時間が経過したら製氷が完了したと判定する。製氷皿１０を製氷皿回動用モータ１で回動させて氷を製氷皿１０から離脱させる離氷動作を実行する。その後、給水ポンプモータ２が水を汲み上げて製氷皿１０に給水し、給水した水が凍り製氷が完了するまで、予め定められた一定時間待機する。製氷完了後、再び離氷動作を行う。この繰り返しで製氷が行われる。 In the automatic ice making function, for example, it is determined that ice making is completed after a certain period of time has passed after water supply. The ice making operation is executed by rotating the ice tray 10 with the ice tray rotating motor 1 to separate the ice from the ice tray 10. After that, the water supply pump motor 2 pumps water and supplies it to the ice tray 10, and waits for a predetermined fixed time until the supplied water freezes and ice making is completed. After the ice making is completed, the ice removal operation is performed again. Ice making is performed by repeating this process.

このように、本実施例の製氷皿回動用モータ１及び給水ポンプモータ２は同時動作することはなく、文脈からこれら２つを混同する虞が無いことから、製氷皿回動用モータ１及び給水ポンプモータ２を以後まとめてＩＭモータ１，２と呼ぶこととする。 As described above, the ice tray rotation motor 1 and the water supply pump motor 2 of this embodiment do not operate at the same time, and there is no risk of confusing these two from the context. Therefore, the ice tray rotation motor 1 and the water supply pump The motors 2 will be collectively referred to as IM motors 1 and 2 below.

図３は、本実施例のＩＭモータ及び真空ポンプモータの第１動作タイムチャートである。本実施例では、真空ポンプモータ３動作中にＩＭモータ１，２の運転指示が出た場合、ＩＭモータ１，２動作を優先し真空ポンプモータ３を一時停止するようにしている。ＩＭモータ１，２の動作が完了したら、一時停止を解除して真空ポンプモータ３の動作を再開する。ＩＭモータ１，２は冷蔵庫のユーザが製氷皿１０の清掃に伴って動作させることがあるため、動作指令から時間を空けずに動作しないと故障との疑念を抱かせてしまう虞があるためである。 FIG. 3 is a first operation time chart of the IM motor and the vacuum pump motor of this embodiment. In this embodiment, when an operation instruction of the IM motors 1 and 2 is issued during the operation of the vacuum pump motor 3, the operation of the IM motors 1 and 2 is prioritized and the vacuum pump motor 3 is temporarily stopped. When the operations of the IM motors 1 and 2 are completed, the pause is released and the operation of the vacuum pump motor 3 is restarted. Since the IM motors 1 and 2 may be operated by the refrigerator user as the ice tray 10 is cleaned, there is a risk of causing suspicion of failure if the IM motors 1 and 2 are not operated within a short time from the operation command. be.

図４は、本実施例のＩＭモータ１，２及び真空ポンプモータ３の第２動作タイムチャートである。ＩＭモータ１，２動作中に真空ポンプモータ３の運転指示が出た場合、ＩＭモータ１，２の動作が優先されるから、真空ポンプモータ３は停止したままとなる。ＩＭモータ１，２の動作がそのまま継続され、動作完了後に真空ポンプモータ３の動作が開始する。 FIG. 4 is a second operation time chart of the IM motors 1 and 2 and the vacuum pump motor 3 of this embodiment. When the operation instruction of the vacuum pump motor 3 is given during the operation of the IM motors 1 and 2, the operation of the IM motors 1 and 2 is prioritized, so that the vacuum pump motor 3 remains stopped. The operation of the IM motors 1 and 2 is continued as it is, and the operation of the vacuum pump motor 3 starts after the operation is completed.

したがって、ＩＭモータ１，２と真空ポンプモータ３が同時に動作することはないので、モータ電流検出用回路を共用化しても各々のモータ電流の検出が可能である。本実施例によれば、製氷皿回動用モータ１のモータ電流値が上昇した場合は、製氷皿に氷が挟まるなどして製氷皿が回動できなくなったという異状を検知できる。給水ポンプモータ２の電流値が上昇した場合は、給水タンク２０の水がなくなった又は少なくなったという異状を検知できる。真空ポンプモータ３の電流値の変化によって真空貯蔵室内の圧力を検知できる。 Therefore, since the IM motors 1 and 2 and the vacuum pump motor 3 do not operate at the same time, it is possible to detect each motor current even if the motor current detection circuit is shared. According to this embodiment, when the motor current value of the ice tray rotating motor 1 rises, it is possible to detect an abnormality that the ice tray cannot rotate due to ice being caught in the ice tray. When the current value of the water supply pump motor 2 rises, it is possible to detect an abnormality that the water in the water supply tank 20 has run out or has run low. The pressure in the vacuum storage chamber can be detected by the change in the current value of the vacuum pump motor 3.

すなわち、ＩＭモータ１，２の電流上昇からはＩＭモータ１，２の異常を検知でき、真空ポンプモータ３の電流値変化からは真空ポンプモータ３への電流供給の必要性の有無を判断できる。 That is, the abnormality of the IM motors 1 and 2 can be detected from the increase in the current of the IM motors 1 and 2, and the necessity of supplying the current to the vacuum pump motor 3 can be determined from the change of the current value of the vacuum pump motor 3.

なお、真空貯蔵室の減圧を或る程度行うことを優先させるべく、真空ポンプモータ３の電流値について閾値を設け、真空ポンプモータ３の運転指示が出た場合、閾値を過ぎるまでは真空ポンプモータ３の動作を優先させ、過ぎた後はＩＭモータ１，２の動作を優先させるようにしても良い。 In order to give priority to depressurizing the vacuum storage chamber to some extent, a threshold value is set for the current value of the vacuum pump motor 3, and when an operation instruction for the vacuum pump motor 3 is given, the vacuum pump motor is used until the threshold value is exceeded. The operation of 3 may be prioritized, and after that, the operation of the IM motors 1 and 2 may be prioritized.
