How to control the ice machine

Abstract

A control method of an ice maker. The ice maker (1) comprises: an ice storage container (10), an ice feeding device (20) located at a bottom portion of the ice storage container (10) and capable of being rotated, and a detection device (30) for detecting a full-of-ice state of the ice storage container (10). The control method comprises: each time after sequentially completing an ice making operation and a defrosting operation, performing full-of-ice detection to detect whether the ice storage container (10) is in the full-of-ice state; performing the ice making operation and the defrosting operation when it is determined by means of full-of-ice detection that the ice storage container (10) is not in the full-of-ice state; driving the ice feeding device (20) to rotate, so as to perform a full-of-ice correction when it is determined by means of the full-of-ice detection that the ice storage container (10) is in the full-of-ice state, and recording the number of full-of-ice corrections after completing the full-of-ice correction; and performing, after each full-of-ice correction, correction detection to detect whether the ice storage container (10) is still in the full-of-ice state. The invention corrects a full-of-ice state detection result, thereby avoiding an issue in which the ice storage container is falsely determined to be in the full-of-ice state before the ice storage container has been fully filled due to the ice not accumulating horizontally.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of ice making, in particular to a control method of 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. The existing refrigerator solution stops ice making when the ice detection rod detects that the ice storage box is full. However, because the ice does not accumulate horizontally in the ice storage box, the ice storage box is often not completely filled, which leads to the storage of ice. The ice storage capacity of the ice box has decreased. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] An object of the present invention is to provide a control method for increasing the ice storage capacity of an ice maker. [00...

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
