Specifically, the first set direction can be set to forward rotation, that is, the ice churning rod moves forward from the first preset position. Rotate to the second preset position, and after staying at the second preset position, rotate the second preset position in the opposite direction to the first preset position, and then Then stay in the first position for the preset time. By controlling the steering of the ice churning rod, the movement range of the ice churning rod is controlled.
另外,在本实施方式中,通过设置第二预设时间,使搅冰杆在达到预设位置后,动力组件恢复稳定状态后再驱动搅冰杆转动,保证搅冰杆转动位置的准确度。可选地,第二预设时间设置为5秒,当然,并不以此为限。In addition, in this embodiment, by setting the second preset time, after the ice churning rod reaches the preset position, the power assembly returns to a stable state and then drives the ice churning rod to rotate, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the rotation position of the ice churning rod.

S400,统计搅冰杆转动次数,判断搅冰杆转动次数是否大于预设次数,若是,则关闭驱动组件;若否,则驱动搅冰杆继续转动至预设次数。S400, count the number of rotations of the ice churning rod, and determine whether the number of rotations of the ice churning rod is greater than the preset number of times. If so, turn off the driving component; if not, drive the ice churning rod to continue to rotate to the preset number of times.
其中,搅冰杆自第一预设位置转动至第二预设位置并复位至第一预设位置计搅冰杆转动一次,优选地,“统计搅冰杆转动次数”具体为:统计搅冰杆转动到第二预设位置的次数。Wherein, when the ice-churning rod rotates from the first preset position to the second preset position and returns to the first preset position, it counts one rotation of the ice-churning rod. Preferably, "counting the number of rotations of the ice-churning rod" is specifically: counting the number of ice-churning rods. The number of times the lever has been rotated to the second preset position.
在本发明中,通过设定预设次数,使搅冰杆在第一预设位置和第二预设位置之间往复运动,从而解决长时间未取冰导致的储冰盒内的冰块粘连的问题。预设次数可以根据实际需要选择,例如,预设次数选为5次,当然,并不以此为限。In the present invention, by setting a preset number of times, the ice churning rod is made to reciprocate between the first preset position and the second preset position, thereby solving the problem of ice cube adhesion in the ice storage box caused by not taking ice for a long time. The problem. The preset number of times can be selected according to actual needs. For example, the preset number of times is selected as 5 times. Of course, it is not limited to this.
在本发明中,在所述驱动组件的转动方向上设置有第一霍尔开关,当驱动组件转动、进而带动位于驱动组件上的磁铁导通第一霍尔开关时,搅冰杆位于第一预设位置;在所述驱动组件的转动方向上设置有与第一霍尔开关间隔设置的第二霍尔开关,当驱动组件转动、进而带动位于驱动组件上的磁铁导通第二霍尔开关时,搅冰杆位于第二预设位置。利用磁铁导通第一霍尔开关或第二霍尔开关的方式来判断搅冰杆的位置,从而实现搅冰杆转动位置的精确控制,同时,霍尔开关与磁铁的感应方式不需要在制冰装置中绕线,不占用制冰装置的空间。In the present invention, a first Hall switch is provided in the rotation direction of the driving assembly. When the driving assembly rotates and drives the magnet on the driving assembly to conduct the first Hall switch, the ice stirring rod is located at the first Hall switch. Preset position; a second Hall switch spaced apart from the first Hall switch is provided in the rotation direction of the driving component. When the driving component rotates, the magnet located on the driving component is driven to conduct the second Hall switch. When, the ice stirring rod is in the second preset position. The magnet is used to conduct the first Hall switch or the second Hall switch to determine the position of the ice-churning rod, thereby achieving precise control of the rotational position of the ice-churning rod. At the same time, the induction mode of the Hall switch and the magnet does not need to be in the system. The wire is wound in the ice unit and does not occupy the space of the ice making unit.
进一步地,在“判断储冰盒的未取冰时间是否大于第一预设时间”步骤之后,“启动驱动组件”步骤之前,所述搅冰方法还包括:Further, after the step of "judging whether the ice storage box's untaken time is greater than the first preset time" and before the step of "starting the driving assembly", the ice stirring method also includes:
S500,判断制冰间室是否进入化霜模式,若是,则在化霜完成且延迟第三预设时间后启动驱动组件。S500, determine whether the ice making room has entered the defrost mode, and if so, start the driving component after the defrost is completed and delayed for a third preset time.
当制冰间室进入化霜模式后,储冰盒内的温度会升高,储冰盒内的冰块为湿冰,因此,延迟第三预设时间使储冰盒内的冰块再次冻结成干燥的冰后,再启动驱动组件驱动搅冰杆转动,节省了冰箱的能耗。优选地,所述第三预设时间为20分钟,当然,并不以此为限。When the ice making chamber enters the defrost mode, the temperature in the ice storage box will increase, and the ice cubes in the ice storage box will be wet ice. Therefore, the third preset time is delayed to allow the ice cubes in the ice storage box to freeze again. After dry ice is formed, the driving assembly is started to drive the ice stirring rod to rotate, thus saving energy consumption of the refrigerator. Preferably, the third preset time is 20 minutes, but of course, it is not limited to this.
更进一步地,在“判断储冰盒的未取冰时间是否大于第一预设时间”步骤之后,“启动驱动组件”步骤之前,所述搅冰方法还包括: Furthermore, after the step of "judging whether the ice storage box's untaken time is greater than the first preset time" and before the step of "starting the driving assembly", the ice stirring method also includes:
S600,判断放置所述制冰间室的门体是否打开,若是,则在门体关闭且延迟第四预设时间后启动驱动组件。S600: Determine whether the door of the ice making compartment is open. If so, start the driving component after the door is closed and delayed for a fourth preset time.
当门体打开时,储冰盒内的温度会升高,储冰盒内的冰块为湿冰,因此,延迟第四预设时间使储冰盒内的冰块再次冻结成干燥的冰后,再启动驱动组件驱动搅冰杆转动,节省了冰箱的能耗。优选地,所述第四预设时间为40分钟,当然,并不以此为限。When the door is opened, the temperature in the ice storage box will rise, and the ice cubes in the ice storage box will be wet ice. Therefore, after delaying the fourth preset time, the ice cubes in the ice storage box will freeze into dry ice again. , and then start the driving assembly to drive the ice stirring rod to rotate, saving the energy consumption of the refrigerator. Preferably, the fourth preset time is 40 minutes, but of course, it is not limited to this.
本发明中的制冰装置,在储冰盒中设置有搅冰杆,当超过预设时间未进行取冰时,驱动组件驱动搅冰杆转动,来搅动储冰盒内的冰块,从而解决用户长时间不取冰导致储冰盒内的冰块发生粘连的问题。The ice making device of the present invention is provided with an ice churning rod in the ice storage box. When the ice is not taken out after a preset time, the driving assembly drives the ice churning rod to rotate to stir the ice cubes in the ice storage box, thereby solving the problem. The user does not take out the ice for a long time, causing the ice cubes in the ice storage box to stick to each other.
