Control method of automatic ice maker system of refrigerator

Abstract

The invention relates to a control method of an automatic ice maker system of a refrigerator. The control method comprises the following steps of S1, detecting whether an ice storage box is full of ice, if so, causing a water inlet module to stop water supply and an ice maker to stop working, if not, entering S2; S2, injecting water to an ice cube tray through the water inlet module; S3, judging whether the ice cube tray has water, if so, causing a processor to control the ice maker to make ice and executing S4, if not, causing the processor to control the water inlet module to stop water supply and control the ice cube tray to turn at least once, and stopping the ice maker; S4, judging whether ice making is completed by the processor so as to control the ice cube tray to turn to discharge the ice, and returning to S1 after the ice is discharged. According to the method, the water is added into the ice maker timely or the ice making is stopped timely, idling of a motor and the ice maker is avoided, the working efficiency of the ice maker is improved, and meanwhile, the working condition of the ice maker is fed back timely so as to be more user-friendly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a control method for an automatic ice maker system of a refrigerator. Background technique [0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, high-end refrigerators are more and more favored by consumers, and automatic ice machines are an important symbol of current and future high-end refrigerators. High-end refrigerators of well-known brands at home and abroad are equipped with automatic ice machines. The refrigerator automatic ice maker technology includes mechanical transmission technology, sensing technology, automatic control technology, and design technology of water inlet and air duct. [0003] Automatic ice machines have been more and more used in high-end refrigerators such as side-by-side refrigerators, French-side-by-side refrigerators, and six-door refrigerators. The so-called automatic ice making refers to the automatic completion of water filling, water condensation, and ice removal without manual labor...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, in the existing ice machine system, the water supply box is used to supply water to the ice-making trays. When the water supply box has only a small amount of water, after a little water is pumped into the ice-making tray, the system sometimes detects that the water level is low. Check whether there is water in the ice-making tray, and feed back the no-water signal to the processing, so as to stop ice making and ice turning, so that the residual water in the ice-making tray cannot be removed in time after freezing, and the next ice-making working cycle , the system will inject a certain amount of water from the water supply box to the ice-making tray according to the preset value. At this time, because the residual water has not been removed in the previous working cycle, overflow will occur after the water is injected, which will affect the ice-making effect.
