The refrigerator 100 may also be provided with an ice bank 220 for receiving ice made by the ice making assembly 210. The ice bank 220 may be directly disposed under the ice making assembly 210. Specifically, the ice making assembly 210 and the ice storage box 220 can be installed in the freezer compartment, and the ice storage box 220 can be directly placed on the shelf in the freezer compartment. The user can open the door of the refrigerator 100 and take out the ice storage box 220 directly. Of course, the ice making assembly 210 and the ice storage box 220 can also be installed on the door of the refrigerator 100, and the door can be provided with a dispenser communicating with the ice storage box 220, and the user can directly take ice from the ice storage box 220 through the dispenser. . In other implementable solutions, the ice making assembly 210 and the ice storage box may be arranged in the refrigerating compartment, and the ice storing box may be selectively connected with the dispenser on the door; or the ice making assembly 210 may be arranged in the refrigerating compartment, The ice storage box is arranged on the door body.

2 to 5, a first sensor 230 for detecting the weight of ice stored in the ice storage box 220 is installed at the bottom of the ice storage box 220, and the first sensor 230 may be a weight sensor. The ice making device 200 further includes an input module 260, a storage module 270, and a control module 280. The input module 260 is used to input the number of pre-stored ice cubes in the ice storage box 220, and the storage module 270 is used to store the single ice making volume and the weight of a single ice cube. When the number of pre-stored ice cubes is less than or equal to the maximum ice storage capacity of the ice bank 220, the control module 280 calculates the amount of ice to be made according to the number of pre-stored ice cubes, the weight of a single ice cube, and the ice storage weight detected by the first sensor 230, and The starting and stopping of the ice making assembly 210 is controlled according to the amount of ice to be made and the amount of single ice making.

In this embodiment, the input module 260, the storage module 270, and the control module 280 may be independent modules provided on the ice making device 200, or may be the input module 260, the storage module 270, and the control module 280 shared with the refrigerator 100 system. . For example, the input module 260 may be a voice input module 260 provided on the refrigerator 100 or a display screen on the door of the refrigerator 100. The single ice production quantity may be a single ice production quantity or a single ice production weight. The number of single ice making may be the number of ice making trays of the ice making tray 211, and the weight of a single ice cube may be the weight of ice cubes formed by a single ice making tray of the ice making tray 211.

The amount of single ice making and the weight of a single ice cube can be the default values directly stored in the storage module 270 at the factory. If the user replaces the ice making tray 211 of the ice making assembly 210 by himself, the user can also use the ice making tray according to the actual use. 211 changes the single ice making amount and the weight of a single ice cube stored in the storage module 270.

The number of pre-stored ice cubes is the number of ice cubes that the user wants to store in the ice bank 200. The number of pre-stored ice cubes is less than or equal to the maximum ice storage capacity of the ice storage box 220. The maximum ice storage capacity of the ice storage box 220 can be the maximum ice storage capacity of the ice storage box 220 or the maximum ice storage weight of the ice storage box 220 , The maximum ice storage capacity can be directly stored in the storage module 270. The user can input the desired number of pre-stored ice cubes in the ice storage box 220, and the control module 280 can calculate the amount of ice to be made according to the number of pre-stored ice cubes input by the user, the weight of a single ice cube, and the ice storage weight detected by the first sensor 230. The amount of ice made may be the weight of ice to be made or the quantity of ice to be made.

When the number of pre-stored ice cubes input by the user is less than or equal to the maximum ice storage capacity of the ice bank 220, the amount of ice to be made is calculated according to the number of pre-stored ice cubes input by the user. When the number of pre-stored ice cubes input by the user is greater than the maximum ice storage capacity of the ice storage box 220, the user can be directly prompted to request the user to change. If the user does not make changes, the maximum ice storage quantity can be directly defaulted to the pre-stored ice input by the user The number of pieces, that is, the quantity of ice to be made can be calculated according to the maximum ice storage quantity of the ice storage box 220 as the pre-stored ice cube quantity. Of course, it is also possible to directly default the maximum ice storage quantity to the pre-stored ice cube quantity input by the user without prompting the user, that is, directly calculate the to-be-made ice quantity according to the maximum ice storage capacity of the ice storage box 220. The control module 280 can control the start and stop of the ice making assembly 210 according to the amount of ice to be made and the amount of single ice making.

In this way, the user can directly set the number of pre-stored ice cubes according to their own needs, and the ice making device 200 automatically controls the start and stop of the ice making assembly 210 according to the number of pre-stored ice cubes, so as to avoid the influence of too much or too little ice in the ice storage box 220 user experience.

Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, the control module 280 is specifically configured to:

Update the amount of ice to be made according to the change in the ice storage weight detected by the first sensor 230;

When the amount of ice to be made is less than one-half of the single ice making amount, the ice making assembly 210 is controlled to stop ice making.

In this embodiment, the amount of ice to be made may be the weight of ice to be made or the quantity of ice to be made, and the amount of ice to be made in a single time may be the weight of a single ice or the quantity of ice to be made in a single time. Specifically, when the amount of ice in the ice storage box changes, that is, when the weight of the ice stored by the first sensor 230 changes, the amount of ice to be made can be recalculated and updated. For example, the ice storage weight of the ice storage box 220 collected by the first sensor 230 can be obtained after each ice removal of the ice making assembly 210 is completed or after receiving an ice removal signal from the user, and the amount of ice to be made can be calculated. In this way, whether the user fetches ice during the ice making process or the newly made ice cubes enter the ice storage box, which causes the ice storage volume in the ice storage box to change, it can ensure that the final ice storage volume in the ice storage box meets the user's needs的量。 The amount.

When the amount of ice to be made is less than one-half of the single ice-making amount, the ice making assembly 210 is controlled to stop ice making. Specifically, when the amount of ice to be made is less than one-half of the single ice-making amount, control The ice making assembly 210 stops making ice, or when the weight of the ice to be made is less than one-half of the weight of a single ice making, the ice making assembly 210 is controlled to stop making ice. In this way, when the actual amount of ice storage in the ice storage box 220 cannot be completely equal to the number of pre-stored ice cubes input by the user through the input module 260, whether the ice making assembly 210 continues to make ice is controlled by comparing the amount of ice to be made with the amount of single ice making Therefore, the actual amount of ice stored in the ice storage box 220 can be close to the needs of the user.

Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, the single ice making volume is the single ice making weight, and the control module 280 is specifically used for:

The pre-stored ice weight is calculated according to the number of pre-stored ice cubes and the weight of a single ice cube, and the to-be-made ice weight is calculated based on the pre-stored ice weight and the ice storage weight detected by the first sensor 230.

In this embodiment, the single ice making weight can be directly stored in the storage module 270 when leaving the factory, or can be calculated from the single ice making quantity and the weight of a single ice cube stored in the storage module 270. The pre-stored ice weight can be obtained by calculating the product of the number of pre-stored ice cubes and the weight of a single ice cube. At the same time, the weight of the stored ice cubes in the ice bank 220 can be detected by the first sensor 230 installed at the bottom of the ice bank 220 to calculate The difference between the pre-stored ice weight and the stored ice weight is the weight of the ice to be made.

Specifically, after each ice removal of the ice making assembly 210 is completed, the weight of the ice to be made can be calculated according to the weight of the pre-stored ice cubes and the weight of the stored ice cubes. The weight of the ice to be made is the difference between the pre-stored ice weight and the weight of the stored ice cubes. value. If the weight of the ice to be made is less than one-half of the weight of a single ice making, the ice making assembly 210 can be controlled to stop ice making.

In this way, the user can input a relatively intuitive number of ice cubes to set the amount of ice to be stored in the ice bank 220. By converting the number of pre-stored ice cubes input by the user into the pre-stored ice weight, and detecting the weight of the ice storage in the ice storage box 220 through the first sensor 230, the start and stop of the ice making assembly 210 can be precisely controlled, which can prevent actual production. The weight of the ice cube is less than the weight of ice to be made, such as the ice tray in the ice tray is not full of water or the ice cubes are left in the ice tray during ice removal, which will result in the weight of each ice cube produced each time There is a difference between the weight of a single ice cube pre-stored. Therefore, the quantity of pre-stored ice cubes is converted into the pre-stored ice weight, and the ice making assembly 210 is controlled by the weight of ice to be made, so as to ensure that the ice storage box 220 stores an appropriate amount of ice cubes that better meets the needs of the user.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the single ice making quantity is the single ice making quantity, and the control module 280 is used for:

The number of ice cubes stored in the ice storage box 220 is calculated according to the weight of the ice storage detected by the first sensor 230 and the weight of a single ice cube, and the number of ice cubes to be made is calculated according to the number of pre-stored ice cubes and the number of stored ice cubes.

In this embodiment, after each ice removal of the ice making assembly 210 is completed, the weight of the ice cubes stored in the ice storage box 220 detected by the first sensor 230 at the bottom of the ice storage box 220 is calculated. The number of ice cubes stored, and the number of ice cubes to be made is calculated based on the number of ice cubes stored and the number of ice cubes stored. The number of ice cubes to be made is the difference between the number of ice cubes stored and the number of ice cubes stored. When the quantity of ice to be made is less than one-half of the quantity of single ice making, the ice making assembly 210 can be controlled to stop making ice.

In this way, the number of ice cubes stored in the ice storage box 220 can be obtained through the first sensor 230, and then the number of ice to be made can be obtained, and whether the ice making assembly 210 continues to make ice can be accurately controlled according to the number of single ice making.

In the above embodiment, it can be ensured that the amount of ice cubes finally stored in the ice bank 220 is the number of pre-stored ice cubes input by the user. However, in some cases, even if the user has taken ice, it is still desirable to include the amount of ice taken out. The total ice storage capacity inside is the same as the number of pre-stored ice cubes entered initially. Therefore, the user can choose whether to include the amount of ice taken when the user enters the number of pre-stored ice cubes. Inclusion, it can be carried out according to the following method.

Specifically, the control module 280 receives the ice fetching signal and calculates the amount of change in the weight of the ice storage in the ice storage box before and after the ice is fetched. When the amount of ice to be made is updated, the amount of ice to be made includes the amount of change, that is, the amount of ice to be made is calculated The amount of change does not need to be subtracted. In this way, the sum of the final ice storage volume in the ice storage box and the amount of ice taken matches the user’s input pre-stored ice cube quantity, that is, the weight of the ice storage in the ice storage box and the taken ice The sum of the weight is roughly equal to the weight converted into the number of pre-stored ice cubes entered by the user, or the sum of the number of ice stored in the ice storage box and the number of ice taken is roughly equal to the number of pre-stored ice cubes entered by the user.

In this way, regardless of whether the user expects the total ice production volume or the final ice storage volume, it can be implemented through the foregoing implementation manners, so as to meet various needs of the user and improve the user experience.

Further, the present invention provides yet another embodiment. In this embodiment, the control module 280 is used to:

The number of times of ice making is calculated according to the amount of ice to be made and the amount of single ice making, and the ice making assembly 210 is controlled to stop the ice making and ice making assembly 210 after completing the number of ice making matches with the number of ice making times.

In this embodiment, the number of times to be made ice may be the ratio of the amount of ice to be made to the amount of single ice made, specifically, it may be the ratio of the amount of ice to be made to the amount of ice made in a single time, or it may be the weight of the ice to be made The ratio of the weight of a single ice making, the number of ice making required by the ice making assembly 210 matches the number of ice making, that is, if the calculated ratio is a decimal, the number of ice making is rounded to the decimal.

Specifically, if the number of ice making times directly calculated is not an integer, the number of ice making times can be rounded off according to the decimal part. For example, if the number of ice making times directly calculated is 4.2 times, the ice making will be controlled after making 4 ices. The component 210 stops making ice. If the directly calculated number of ice making is 4.7 times, the ice making assembly 210 is controlled to stop making ice after 5 ice making.

The number of ice making times can be calculated only once, or the control module 280 can update the number of ice making times according to changes in the ice storage weight detected by the first sensor 230. The ratio of the amount of ice, or the ratio of the weight of ice to be made to the weight of a single ice making each time, or the ratio of the two can be calculated alternately to make the amount of ice more accurate. Control module 280

Specifically, the number of ice making times can be updated every time after ice removal is completed or after receiving a user's ice fetching signal. After each deicing is completed, the number of times to be made ice can be reduced by 1 until the number of times to be made ice is 0, the ice making assembly 210 is controlled to stop ice making. After receiving the user's ice fetching signal, if it is detected that the user operates the dispenser to fetch ice or the ice storage box is removed or the weight of the ice storage detected by the first sensor decreases, the amount of ice to be made can be recalculated and the number of times to be made ice can be recalculated.

Of course, the control module 280 may also update the number of ice making times based on the received ice fetching signal. That is, the number of ice making times can be updated only when the user's ice fetching signal is received, and the number of ice making times can be accumulated after each deicing is completed. When the number of ice making times is equal to the number of ice making times, the ice making assembly 210 is controlled Stop ice making.

In this embodiment, if the user selects the amount of ice to be taken when inputting the number of pre-stored ice cubes, the ice will be made according to the calculated number of ice making regardless of whether the ice is taken or not. If the amount of ice taken is not included, the amount of ice to be made is updated according to the change in the ice storage weight detected by the first sensor, and then the number of times of ice to be made can be calculated.

In this way, controlling the start and stop of the ice making assembly 210 according to the number of ice making times can reduce internal calculations and improve the efficiency and accuracy of control.

Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, the ice making device 200 further includes an ice quantity display module 290 for displaying the quantity of ice cubes stored in the ice storage box, and the quantity of ice cubes stored can be detected by the first sensor 230 The weight of ice storage and the weight of a single ice cube are calculated.

In this embodiment, the number of stored ice cubes is the ratio of the weight of the stored ice cubes detected by the first sensor to the weight of a single ice cube. The ice amount display module 290 may be an independent module for displaying the amount of ice in the ice storage box 220 provided on the ice maker 200, or may be a display module 290 integrated on the refrigerator 100, for example, it can be used on the refrigerator 100. The display shows the amount of ice in the ice bank 220. For the refrigerator 100 with an ice dispenser, when the user takes ice from the ice storage box 220, the user can directly input the amount of ice taken through the input module 260 such as a display screen, and the control module 280 can also use the first input module at the bottom of the ice storage box 220. The sensor 230 accurately obtains the weight of the ice taken, and controls the opening and closing of the dispenser.

In this way, the display module 290 of the refrigerator 100 displays the amount of ice in the ice maker, so that the user can intuitively obtain the number of ice cubes stored in the ice storage box.

Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, the ice making device 200 further includes an ice lever 250 installed in the ice storage box 220. When the ice bank 220 is installed in the cabinet 110 of the refrigerator 100, an ice shift motor 260 may be provided on the wall surface of the cabinet 110. Of course, if the ice storage box 220 is installed on the door of the refrigerator 100, the ice shifting motor 260 can also be installed on the door of the refrigerator 100, and it can also be installed in the box 110 or on the door of the refrigerator 100 for installing the ice shifting motor 260. Alternatively, the ice shift motor 260 can be directly connected to the support of the ice making device 200.

The ice making device 200 also has an ice level detection module for detecting the ice level under the ice making tray 211, and the control module 280 is also used for:

When the ice level detection module detects a full ice state and the ice making assembly 210 is in an ice making state, the ice dial motor 260 is controlled to start.

In this embodiment, the ice level detection module may be an ice detection rod 240 installed on one side of the ice making tray 211. After each ice removal of the ice making tray 211, the ice detection rod 240 can be activated to detect the bottom of the ice making tray 211. Ice level. Of course, the ice level detection module can also be a non-contact sensor installed in the ice storage box 220. For example, the ice level detection module can include an infrared sensor installed in the area below the ice tray 211, and the ice tray 211 can be detected by the infrared sensor. The ice level in the ice bank 220 in the lower area. If the ice level under the ice making tray 211 is full of ice, and the ice making assembly 210 needs to continue making ice, the ice lever 250 is controlled to rotate, and the ice cubes under the ice making tray 211 are moved to the other ice bank 220 Side, preventing ice from accumulating directly below the ice making tray 211 from being affected.

The ice shift lever 250 is provided with a connecting groove 251, and the ice shift motor 260 is provided with a connecting protrusion 261 matching the connecting groove 251. When the connecting groove 251 is rotated to a horizontal position, the user can directly pull the ice storage box 220 The ice shift lever 250 is separated from the ice shift motor 260, and the ice storage box 220 is taken out.

In this way, by setting the ice lever 250 to push the ice in the ice storage box 220 to a uniform state, the utilization rate of the internal volume of the ice storage box 220 can be improved, and ice can be prevented from only accumulating in the area below the ice making tray 211 and affecting ice production.
