Problems solved by technology
[0004] However, in the related art, if the full ice detection lever freezes, it is impossible to perform the mechanical operation of the full ice detection lever, and the controller cannot determine whether the ice container is full
In this fault condition, ice is supplied continuously, causing ice to overflow from the ice container

Embodiment Construction
[0021] Such as figure 1 As shown, a refrigerator as embodied and broadly described herein may include a main body 110, doors 125 and 135, an ice maker 150 disposed in the main body 110 or in one of the doors 125 or 135, for storing ice made by the ice maker 150. An ice bin or ice container 180 for ice cubes, an ice level sensing device 220 provided with a sensor element 240 for sending or receiving a signal, and for aligning and holding the sensor element 240 in a predetermined direction Alignment device 250 for alignment.
[0022] A freezing chamber 120 and a refrigerating chamber 130 for keeping food in a frozen fresh state may be formed in the main body 110 . The main body 110 may be a side-by-side type having a freezing compartment 120 and a refrigerating compartment 130 arranged next to each other in a horizontal direction. Alternatively, the main body 110 may be a top freezer or bottom freezer type having a freezing compartment 120 and a refrigerating compartment 130 a...

A refrigerator and a fullan ice level sensing apparatus, the are provided. The refrigerator including a refrigerator may include a main body, and a fullan ice level sensing apparatus provided with including an electronic optical element unit for sending or receiving a signal, and an alignment unit device for aligning and maintaining alignment of the electronic optical element unit in a preset direction, and configured to. The sensing apparatus may sense whether an ice bank for storing ice cubes make storage container in which ice cubes made by an ice maker disposed at the refrigerator main body is at a full ice level, whereby. the The electronic optical element unit is allowed to may be aligned at a preset position by, thus preventing the movement of the electronic optical element unit, resulting in improvement of improved reliability of the sensing of the full ice level apparatus.
Description
technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to an ice level sensing device for a refrigerator. Background technique [0002] Refrigerators refrigerate or freeze foods, etc. to keep them fresh in storage. A refrigerator includes an ice maker for making ice and an ice container for receiving ice made by the ice maker. [0003] The full ice detection rod (mechanical device) connected with the controller detects whether the ice container is full of ice. The full ice detection lever is positioned on the underside and rises to the same height as the ice accumulated in the ice container. The controller determines that the ice container is full when the full ice detection lever rises more than a certain height due to the accumulation of ice. [0004] However, in the related art, if the full ice detection lever freezes, it is impossible to perform the mechanical operation of the full ice detection lever, and the controller cannot determine whether the ice container is fu...
