이하, 본 발명에 따른 일실시예를 첨부한 도면을 참조하여 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

도 5는 본 발명의 동작 흐름도로서, 이에 도시한 바와 같이 도 1에서 디스펜서(40)가 구비된 냉장고는 내부의 마이크로컴퓨터(미도시)로 부터 전달되는 소정의 신호에 의해 상기 급수제어밸브(13)를 제어하여 상기 급수제어밸브(13)와 연결된 급수관(31, 41) 중 어느 한쪽이 개방됨으로써, 상기 급수부(10)를 통해 유입되는 정화수가 제빙용기(33) 또는 냉장실의 디스펜서(40)로 공급되어 얼음 또는 물 상태로 대기하게 되고, 상기 제빙용기(33)에 급수가 완료되면 제빙행정을 시작하여 일정시간 경과 후, 온도감지센서(54)에서 상기 제빙용기(33)의 온도를 검지하여 설정온도(T)이면 제빙이 완료된 것으로 판단하며, 검빙레버(55)를 작동시켜 얼음저장용기(34) 내의 얼음량이 만빙인지를 판단하고, 이 판단결과에 따라 만빙이 아니면 회동력발생부(51)를 회전시켜 상기 제빙용기(33)를 비틀어줌으로써, 상기 제빙용기(33) 내의 얼음(21)을 이빙시키며, 상기 판단결과 만빙이면 이빙을 진행하지 않고, 일정시간 마다 재 검빙을 수행하여 만빙이 아닐 경우에만 이빙을 진행하며, 이빙행정이 완료되면 상기 제빙용기(33)에 물을 급수한 후, 상기의 제빙행정을 필러암(35)의 설정위치까지 반복 진행하도록 한다.FIG. 5 is an operation flowchart of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the refrigerator equipped with the dispenser 40 is provided with a water supply control valve 13 by a predetermined signal transmitted from an internal microcomputer (not shown). ) By opening one of the water supply pipe (31, 41) connected to the water supply control valve 13, the purified water flowing through the water supply unit 10, the ice maker 33 or the dispenser 40 of the refrigerating chamber. After the water supply to the ice-making container 33 is completed, the ice-making stroke is started, and after a predetermined time, the temperature sensor 54 detects the temperature of the ice-making container 33. If the set temperature (T) is determined that the ice making is completed, the ice leveling lever 55 is operated to determine whether the amount of ice in the ice storage container 34 is full of ice, and based on the determination result, the rotational force generating unit ( 51) by rotating By twisting the ice container 33, the ice 21 is iced in the ice making container 33, and if the result is full ice, no ice is carried out. After the completion of the ice stroke, water is supplied to the ice making container 33, and the ice making stroke is repeatedly performed to the set position of the filler arm 35.

그러나, 상기 검빙레버(55)가 얼음량을 검지하기 위해 동작하는 경우에 사용자가 냉동실의 문을 열면 문을 열고있는 시간을 감지하여 일정시간 이내에 도어를 닫으면 사용자가 잠시 도어를 연 것으로 판단하여 검빙을 계속 잔행하지만 상기 일정시간 이상이면 사용자가 얼음저장용기(34)를 착탈하는 것으로 판단하고, 검빙동작을 중지한 다음 원상태로 복귀시킨다.However, when the detection lever 55 operates to detect the amount of ice, when the user opens the door of the freezer, the user detects the time of opening the door and closes the door within a predetermined time. If it continues, but if the predetermined time or more, the user is determined to remove the ice storage container 34, stops the ice detection operation and then returns to the original state.

이상에서 설명한 바와 같이 본 발명 냉장고용 제빙기의 검빙레버 제어방법은 사용자가 냉동실의 문을 열고 제빙용기를 착탈할 때 검빙 동작을 중단시켜 검빙레버가 파손되는 것을 방지함으로써, 제빙기 사용의 효율 및 내구성을 증대시켜 소비자의 사용 만족도를 향상시키는 효과가 있다.As described above, the ice detection lever control method of the refrigerator ice maker according to the present invention stops the ice detection operation when the user opens the door of the freezer compartment and removes the ice container, thereby preventing damage to the ice detection lever, thereby improving the efficiency and durability of the ice maker. There is an effect of improving the customer satisfaction by increasing.
