Kettle and sterilization method thereof, ice maker and ice-making refrigerator having the same

Abstract

The invention provides a kettle and its sterilization method, an ice maker and an ice-making refrigerator with the same, the kettle includes a sterilization device, a control device, a water delivery device and a liquid level sensor for measuring the water depth in the kettle ; Wherein, when the control device receives the instruction to start water delivery, the control device controls the liquid level sensor to obtain the initial water depth value H1 and controls the water delivery device to deliver water to the kettle, when the control When the device receives an instruction to stop water delivery, the control device controls the water delivery device to stop delivering water to the kettle and controls the liquid level sensor to obtain the final water depth value H2, and the control device controls the final water depth value H2 according to the final water depth value H2. The difference of the initial water depth value H1 generates the first duration of sterilization T1, and the control device controls the sterilization device to sterilize the water in the kettle according to the first duration of sterilization T1, so that the kettle can be effectively sterilized .

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment, in particular to a kettle and a sterilization method thereof, an ice maker and an ice refrigerator provided with the same. Background technique [0002] An ice machine is a commonly used electrical appliance, which can provide users with ice cubes and / or ice water. Ice cubes can be added to daily drinks to enhance the drinking taste, and ice water can directly achieve the cooling effect in hot summer. Ice machines generally consist of a jug for storing water, an ice water making unit for storing water, an ice water making unit for making ice cubes and / or ice water from the jug, and a dispensing unit for dispensing Ice cubes and / or ice water produced by an ice water maker. [0003] In practice, there will be bacteria in the water stored in the kettle, and more bacteria will grow when left for a long time. In order to solve this problem, a sterilization device is usually installed ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] In practice, there will be bacteria in the water stored in the kettle, and more bacteria will grow when left for a long time. In order to solve this problem, a sterilization device is usually installed in the kettle. It is understandable that in order to save energy, the sterilization The device cannot be in the sterilizing state all the time, that is, the sterilizing device needs to perform sterilizing operations at regular intervals. Therefore, it is necessary to design when to start the sterilizing operation and when to stop the sterilizing operation
