Problems solved by technology

In the existing refrigerator solution, when the ice detection rod detects that the ice storage box is full, the ice production will be stopped. However, because the ice is not accumulated horizontally in the ice storage box, the ice storage box is often not completely filled, which leads to the storage The ice storage capacity of the ice box has decreased

Embodiment Construction

[0041] The ice maker may generally include: an ice storage box, a controllable rotating ice delivery device located at the bottom of the ice storage box, and a detection device for detecting the ice storage box is full of ice. Specifically, the ice delivery device can only be controlled to rotate to agitate the ice cubes in the ice storage box, or can be controlled to send the ice cubes out of the ice storage box while agitating.

[0042] figure 1 is a schematic schematic diagram of a control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Control methods may include:

[0043] In step S100, the ice machine is turned on.

[0044] Step S102, initializing the number of full ice corrections N=0.

[0045] Step S104, performing an ice making operation.

[0046] Step S106, performing deicing operation.

[0047] Step S108, judge whether the ice storage box is full of ice through full ice detection; if yes, execute step S112; if not, return to execute step S104.

Abstract

The invention provides a control method of an ice maker. The ice maker comprises an ice storage box, an ice feeding device which is positioned on the bottom of the ice storage box and can be controlled to rotate, and a detecting device for detecting a full-ice state of the ice storage box. The control method comprises the following steps of: after ice making operation and ice removing operation are sequentially completed in sequence every time, performing full-ice detection for detecting whether the ice storage box is in the full-ice state or not; when the ice storage box is judged to be not in the full-ice state through full-ice detection, performing ice making operation and ice removing operation; when the ice storage box is judged to be in the full-ice state through full-ice detection,driving the ice feeding device to rotate to perform full-ice correction, and recording full-ice correction times once after completing full-ice correction once; and after performing full-ice correction each time, performing correction detection for detecting whether the ice storage box is in the full-ice state or not. The detected results of the detected full-ice state are corrected, so that the problem that the ice storage box is not filled up completely as a result of out-of-level stacking of ice blocks and is mis-declared in the full-ice state is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of ice making, in particular to a method for controlling an ice making device. 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. In the existing refrigerator solution, when the ice detection rod detects that the ice storage box is full, the ice production will be stopped. However, because the ice is not accumulated horizontally in the ice storage box, the ice storage box is often not completely filled, which leads to the storage The ice storage capacity of the ice box has decreased. Contents of the invention [0003] An object of the present invention is to provide a control method for increasing the ice storage capacity of ...
