본 발명은 자동제빙기의 제빙속도 제어장치 및 방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 급수 제어후 제빙트레이 밑에 위치한 제빙센서의 온도변화를 비교하여 물이 공급되었는지를 판단하고 주위온도및 사용자의 설정온도에 따라 제빙시간을 다르게 설정하여 제어를 행함으로써 제빙속도를 향상시킬 수 있도록 한 자동제빙기의 제빙속도 제어장치 및 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an ice making speed control device and method of an automatic ice maker, and in particular, to determine whether water is supplied by comparing the temperature change of the ice making sensor located under the ice tray after water supply control and the ice making time according to the ambient temperature and the user's set temperature The present invention relates to an ice making speed control apparatus and method for automatically making an ice maker by improving the ice making speed by setting differently.
도1은 종래 자동제빙기의 제빙속도 제어방법에 대한 동작 흐름도로서, 이를 참조하여 종래 제빙속도 제어방법을 살펴보면, 제빙트레이에 물이 공급되면 마이크로컴퓨터에서 제빙시간을 적산하여 그 제빙시간이 100분이 경과하였는지를 판단하게 되고, 상기 판단결과 100분이 경과 되었으면 제빙트레이 밑에 부착된 제빙센서로 온도를 감지하여 '-8'도 보다 낮은지를 판단하게 된다.1 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a deicing speed of a conventional automatic ice maker. Referring to the method of controlling a deicing speed of the conventional automatic ice maker, when water is supplied to the ice making tray, the deicing time is 100 minutes after the deicing time is accumulated in the microcomputer. If 100 minutes have elapsed as a result of the determination, it is determined whether the temperature is lower than '-8' by sensing the temperature with an ice making sensor attached to the ice making tray.
상기 판단결과, 제빙센서에 의해 감지된 온도가 '-8도'보다 낮으면 추가로 20분을 운전한후 제빙센서의 온도가 '-12도'보다 낮으면 제빙이 완전하게 완료된 것으로 판단하게 된다.As a result of the determination, if the temperature detected by the ice making sensor is lower than '-8 degrees', it is determined that the ice making is completely completed if the temperature of the ice making sensor is lower than '-12 degrees' after 20 minutes of operation. .
이후, 상기 제빙이 완료되면 제빙트레이에 얼음을 저장그릇에 떨어뜨려서 보관을 하기 위해 이빙모터를 정회전하고 일정시간 경과후에 다시 역회전을 행한다.Subsequently, when the ice making is completed, the ice motor is rotated forward to store ice by dropping the ice in the ice making tray and then rotates again after a predetermined time.
그 다음, 일정시간이 경과된 후에 이빙모터의 동작이 완료되면 제빙트레이에 다시 물을 공급하여 제빙활동을 반복하게 된다.Then, after the predetermined time has elapsed and the operation of the ice motor is completed, water is supplied to the ice tray again to repeat the ice making activity.
그러나, 상기와 같이 동작하는 종래 기술은 제빙트레이에 물이 공급되면 정해진 시간과 온도에 의해서만 제빙완료를 판단할 경우 사용자가 갑자기 많은량의 얼음을 필요로 하는 경우에 대응이 불가능하고, 급속하게 제빙을 하기 위하여 냉동실의 설정온도를 차가운쪽으로 조정하여 설정하더라도 정해진 제빙시간을 단축할 수 없고, 또한 사용자가 급속하게 제빙을 시키기 위하여 설정온도를 차가운쪽으로 조정을 하여 제빙을 할 경우 온도가 차가운 상태에서 제빙을 하는 시간이 길어지게 되면 얼음이 갈라지는 현상 및 이빙시 조각나는 현상이 발생되어 얼음의 형상이 불완전할 뿐만 아니라 디스펜서 레버를 눌러서 얼음을 취출할 때 얼음이 잘 나오지 않는 문제점이 있었다.However, when the water is supplied to the ice making tray, the conventional technique operating as described above cannot respond to the case where the user suddenly needs a large amount of ice when determining the completion of ice making only by a predetermined time and temperature, and rapidly de-icing Even if the setting temperature of the freezer compartment is adjusted to the cold side, the de-icing time cannot be shortened.In addition, if the user makes the ice by adjusting the setting temperature to the cold side in order to make ice making rapidly, ice making is performed in the cold state. The longer the time to break the ice and the crushing phenomenon occurs when the ice is not only incomplete shape of the ice, there was a problem that the ice does not come out well when you take out the ice by pressing the dispenser lever.
따라서, 상기와 같은 문제점을 감안하여 창안한 본 발명은 급수 제어후 제빙트레이 밑에 위치한 제빙센서의 온도변화를 비교하여 물이 공급되었는지를 판단하고 주위온도및 사용자의 설정온도에 따라 제빙시간을 다르게 설정하여 제어를 행함으로써 제빙속도를 향상시킬 수 있도록 한 자동제빙기의 제빙속도 제어장치 및 방법을 제공함에 그 목적이 있다.Therefore, the present invention devised in view of the above problems determines whether water is supplied by comparing the temperature change of the ice making sensor located under the ice tray after water supply control, and sets the ice making time differently according to the ambient temperature and the user's set temperature. It is an object of the present invention to provide an ice making speed control apparatus and method for an automatic ice maker that can improve the ice making speed by performing the control.

도3은 본 발명 자동제빙기의 제빙속도 제어방법에 대한 동작흐름도로서, 이에 도시한 바와같이 제빙트레이에 물이 공급된후 주위 온도가 18℃ 이상인지를 판단하는 제1 단계와; 상기 제1 단계의 판단결과 주위온도가 18℃ 이상이고 설정온도가 '강' 노치(Notch) 이상이면 냉동실 온도에 무관하게 제빙센서(1)의 온도가 '0℃' 이하로 내려가도록 강제로 냉동실 팬모터를 구동하여 제빙을 완료한후 이빙동작을 수행하는 제2 단계와; 상기 제1 단계의 판단결과 주위온도가 18℃ 이하이면 제빙센서(1)에 단계적으로 감지되는 온도에 따라 제빙시간을 차등 설정하여 제빙동작을 완료한후 이빙동작을 수행하는 제3 단계로 이루어지며, 이와같이 구성한 본 발명의 동작을 설명한다.3 is an operation flowchart of the ice-making speed control method of the automatic ice maker of the present invention, the first step of determining whether the ambient temperature is 18 ℃ or more after the water is supplied to the ice tray as shown therein; As a result of the determination of the first step, if the ambient temperature is 18 ° C. or higher and the set temperature is higher than the “notch” notch, the freezing chamber 1 is forced to fall below 0 ° C. regardless of the freezer temperature. A second step of driving the fan motor to perform an ice-making operation after completing ice making; As a result of the determination of the first step, if the ambient temperature is 18 ° C. or lower, a third step of performing the ice-making operation after completing the ice-making operation by setting the ice-making time differentially according to the temperature detected by the ice-making sensor 1 step by step; The operation of the present invention configured as described above will be described.
먼저, 급수시간설정부(4)는 사용자의 환경에 맞게 급수시간을 설정하고, 그러면 급수밸브구동부(10)는 상기 급수시간설정부(4)에 의해 설정된 급수 시간동안 밸브를 구동시켜 냉동실에 위치한 제빙트레이로 공급되는 물의 양을 조절한다.First, the water supply time setting unit 4 sets the water supply time according to the user's environment, and then the water supply valve driving unit 10 drives the valve for the water supply time set by the water supply time setting unit 4 and is located in the freezer compartment. Adjust the amount of water supplied to the ice tray.
이때, 키입력감지부(3)는 사용자에 의해 설정되는 온도를 키신호로 입력받아 온도를 설정하고, 주위온도감지부(2)는 냉장고 주위의 온도를 감지하는데, 대략 '18℃'를 기준온도로 하여 냉장고 주위의 온도가 그 기준온도 이상이면 냉동실팬모터구동부(9)는 냉동실온도에 무관하게 제빙센서의 온도가 '0℃'이하로 도달할 때까지 냉동실팬모터를 구동시킨다.At this time, the key input detection unit 3 receives the temperature set by the user as a key signal and sets the temperature, and the ambient temperature detection unit 2 detects the temperature around the refrigerator. If the temperature around the refrigerator is equal to or higher than the reference temperature as the temperature, the freezer compartment fan motor driving unit 9 drives the freezer compartment fan motor until the temperature of the ice making sensor reaches '0 ° C' or less regardless of the freezer compartment temperature.
여기서, 냉장고 주위의 온도가 상기 기준온도(18℃)보다 낮을 경우에 대하여 살펴본다. 만약, 제빙트레이에 물이 공급되면 마이크로컴퓨터에서 제빙시간을 적산하여 그 제빙시간이 100분이 경과하였는지를 판단하게 되고, 상기 판단결과 100분이 경과 되었으면 제빙트레이 밑에 부착된 제빙센서(1)로 온도를 감지하여 '-8'도 보다 낮은지를 판단하게 된다.Here, the case where the temperature around the refrigerator is lower than the reference temperature (18 ° C.) will be described. If water is supplied to the ice making tray, the microcomputer accumulates the ice making time and determines whether the ice making time has elapsed for 100 minutes. If 100 minutes have elapsed, the temperature is detected by an ice making sensor 1 attached to the ice making tray. To determine if the '-8' is lower than.
상기 판단결과, 제빙센서(1)에 의해 감지된 온도가 '-8도'보다 낮으면 추가로 20분을 운전한후 제빙센서(1)의 온도가 '-12도'보다 낮으면 제빙이 완전하게 완료된 것으로 판단하게 된다.As a result of the determination, if the temperature sensed by the ice making sensor 1 is lower than '-8 degrees', an additional 20 minutes is operated, and if the temperature of the ice making sensor 1 is lower than '-12 degrees', ice making is completed. It is judged to be completed.
이후, 상기 제빙이 완료되면 제빙트레이에 얼음을 저장그릇에 떨어뜨려서 보관을 하기 위해 이빙모터를 정회전하고 일정시간 경과후에 다시 역회전을 행한다.Subsequently, when the ice making is completed, the ice motor is rotated forward to store ice by dropping the ice in the ice making tray and then rotates again after a predetermined time.
그 다음, 일정시간이 경과된 후에 이빙모터의 동작이 완료되면 제빙트레이에 다시 물을 공급하여 제빙활동을 반복하게 된다.Then, after the predetermined time has elapsed and the operation of the ice motor is completed, water is supplied to the ice tray again to repeat the ice making activity.
이때, 제빙트레이온도감지부(5)는 제빙트레이의 온도를 감지하여 트레이에 공급된 물이 제빙완료되었는지를 간접적으로 판단하는데, 만약 제빙이 완료되었으면 이빙모터구동부(8)는 제빙이 된 얼음을 저장그릇에 떨어뜨리기 위하여 설치된 이빙모터를 모터축 기준으로 역회전으로 '-8°'운전, 정회전으로 '+10°'운전을 일정한 주기로 반복 구동하고, 여기서 제빙트레이에 공급된 물에 유동을 주어 물의 잡열을 보다 빨 리 방출시키고 얼음속에 기포가 발생하는 것을 방지하면서 제빙을 빠르게 수행한다.At this time, the ice making tray temperature detection unit 5 indirectly determines whether the water supplied to the tray has completed ice making by sensing the temperature of the ice making tray. If ice making is completed, the ice making motor driving unit 8 detects the ice that has been iced. In order to drop it into the storage vessel, the moving motor installed in the motor shaft is repeatedly driven by '-8 °' operation with reverse rotation and '+ 10 °' with forward rotation at regular cycles. It quickly releases heat from the water and prevents bubbles from forming in the ice, making ice making faster.
즉, 본 발명은 사용자의 환경에 맞게 급수시간이 설정되어 제빙트레이에 급수가 되면, 주위온도센서에 의해 냉장고 주위의 온도를 감지하여 18℃ 이상인지를 판단하고, 사용자가 설정한 현재 냉동실의 설정온도가 '강'노치(NOTCH) 이상인 경우에 한해서 급속하게 제빙시키기 위하여 냉동실온도에 무관하게 제빙센서(1)의 감지온도가 0℃ 이하로 도달할 때까지 강제적으로 냉동실팬모터를 운전시키면서 이빙모터를 일정한 주기로 정회전/역회전을 반복수행하여 제빙을 빠르게 수행하고, 상기 제빙센서(1)의 온도가 -12℃ 이하로 낮아지는 시간이 10분이상 경과하면 제빙이 완료된것으로 판단하여 이빙모터를 정회전/역회전시켜 얼음을 저장그릇에 보관하게 된다.That is, in the present invention, when the water supply time is set according to the user's environment and the water is supplied to the ice making tray, the temperature of the refrigerator is detected by the ambient temperature sensor to determine whether the temperature is 18 ° C. or higher, and the current freezer is set by the user. In order to rapidly defrost only when the temperature is above the 'notch' notch, the freezer fan motor is operated while the freezer fan motor is forcibly operated until the detection temperature of the ice making sensor 1 reaches 0 ° C or lower regardless of the freezer temperature. Repeat the forward / reverse rotation at regular intervals to quickly perform deicing, and when the time for which the temperature of the deicing sensor 1 is lowered to -12 ° C or less has elapsed for more than 10 minutes, determine that the deicing is completed, The ice will be stored in the storage container by rotating it forward / reverse.
이상에서 상세히 설명한 바와 같이 본 발명은 별도의 조작버턴 없이 주위온도 및 설정온도에 따라서 제빙시간을 다르게 설정하여 제어를 행함으로써 사용자가 많은량의 얼음이 필요할 경우에 신속히 대응이 가능하고, 또한 제빙트레이에 물이 공급된 것을 판단하여 자동적으로 제빙트레이를 동작시켜 얼음의 품질을 향상시키고 제빙속도를 빠르게 할 수 있는 효과가 있다.As described in detail above, the present invention enables a user to quickly respond when a large amount of ice is required by controlling the ice making time according to the ambient temperature and the set temperature without a separate operation button, and the ice making tray. By determining that water is supplied to the ice tray, the ice tray is automatically operated to improve the quality of ice and to speed up the ice making process.
