A refrigerator ice maker water storage tank capable of water replenishment detection

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of refrigerator detection, in particular to a refrigerator ice maker water tank with a function of water supplement detection. The refrigerator ice maker water tank comprises a tank box and a tank cover. The tank box is disposed on a refrigerating door shelf of a refrigerator. The tank cover is provided with a water filler which is provided with a water filler cover. The refrigerator ice maker water tank further comprises a tank support in fitly connection with the tank cover. A follow-up switch for detecting water supplementing is disposed on the tank support. The water filler cover is in positional fit with the follow-up switch. The water filler cover controls the follow-up switch to switch on or off. The refrigerator ice maker water tank is simple and handy, whether an ice making program needs to be started or not is judged according to water supplementing action of a user, inner space of the refrigerator is fully utilized, and the refrigerator ice maker water tank is simple and reliable to operate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of refrigerator detection, and more particularly relates to a refrigerator ice maker water storage tank capable of realizing water replenishment detection. Background technique [0002] With the improvement of living standards and users' requirements for the degree of automation of home appliances, refrigerators with automatic ice machines are more and more popular in the market. Water for automatic ice maker systems usually comes from tap water or a built-in storage tank. Due to the limited quality of tap water, it is still difficult to ensure that it can be drunk directly even if a filter device is added, and it is troublesome to replace the filter device regularly. Therefore, when consumers choose refrigerators with automatic ice machines, they tend to detach the water storage tank and place it in the refrigerator. In or on the refrigerator door, the user can add clean drinking water by himself and it is...

Problems solved by technology

Among them, the refrigerated door switch action signal cannot directly reflect the water replenishment action, especially when the user does not need to use the ice machine function, frequent door opening and closing actions will continuously trigger the ice-making motor to work, which is not conducive to energy saving; the magnetic control switch of the water tank is a It is a simple way to detect the water replenishment action, but for the convenience of the user to replenish water, a water replenishment hole is usually opened on the water tank cover. If the user replenishes water through the water replenishment hole, the signal cannot be detected and the ice machine will be effectively triggered; whether it is the door switch signal and The water tank action signal indirectly reflects the water volume of the water storage tank. The water level detection sensor is the most intuitive way, but the water level detection sensor is more complicated to implement and the cost is high, which is not conducive to the actual use of the product.
