Benefits of technology

[0012]The objects of the present invention can be achieved according to the following description. Said refrigerator can be divided into freezer compartment 1 and refrigerator compartment 2. In the freezer compartment 1, an ice making room is usually set at the upper-left part when the door of the refrigerator is opened to the left. Said ice making room is installed with a door 9 so as to prevent the flow of the refrigerating effect an

Problems solved by technology

The fact that a major part of the operation of ice is machines in the past involves manual work is not satisfactory but automatic ice machines facilitate the use of ice cubes greatly, because the whole ice-making process of an automatic ice machine doesn't involve any manual intervention.
But the disadvantages are that the volume of the ice machine is bulky and too much space is taken up.
The structure of this type of ice machine is complex and many parts and components are involved and the reliability is low.
But it is hard to coordinate the interrelationship between the temperature of the freezer compartment and the refrigerating effect of the ice-making room when the requirement of the freezer compartment and that of the ice machine are different, because the freezing process of the ice machine set inside the freezer compartment adopts the refrigeration system of the freezer compartment.

embodiments

Embodiment 1

[0072]Please refer to FIG. 4. The ice machine of the present invention comprises the following parts: (1) The control box comprises a motor, a reduction gear, an axis of rotation, and copper tinsels. The copper tinsels are mounted in the plow grooves in the body, which is similar to the mechanical timer aforetime. When the ice machine is electrified, the motor rotates and the copper tinsels form different connections and disconnections which form different connections of circuits so as to achieve various travels of the ice machine. (2) Intermediate connection box, the main function of which is connecting the control box and the ice making box. A dual-tinsel temperature controller is mounted on the body of the box, which controls the ice making time and the heating time of the heater. (3) The ice making box comprises an ice detecting lever, an ice removing lever, an ice tray and a heater. When the ice storage box which is set under the ice machine is full of ice cubes, th...

embodiment 2

[0073]As an embodiment of the present invention, a defrosting process is provided, wherein evaporator, fins and a heating tube is involved. An electric heating filament is set inside the heating tube and the space between the heating filament and the heating tube is filled with insulating material. The form of the heating tube is determined according to the form of the evaporator, in which all modes used in the prior art can be adopted in the present invention.

embodiment 3

[0074]This embodiment provides that the freezer compartment adopts a mixed air-cooling and direct cooling mode while the refrigerator compartment adopts direct cooling mode. FIG. 1 can be referred to for details.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a multi-temperature control refrigerator, in which an ice machine is installed and the cooling mode of the refrigerator is a mixed air-cooling and direct cooling mode. Particularly, the present invention relates to a refrigerator having ice-making function, in which the refrigeration cycle is a dual cycle and two different evaporators are included. Due to that the ice making room of the of the refrigerator of the present invention adopts a mixed air-cooling and direct cooling mode, and that impulse solenoid valves and dual temperature control device are introduced to the dual cycle system, the energy is optimally distributed and utilized, the fluctuation of temperature is small and the ice making efficiency of the ice making room and the quality of the ice cubes are much improved. And the whole refrigerator makes less noise, consumes fewer refrigerants and makes ice of good quality rapidly.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a multi-temperature control refrigerator, in which an ice machine is installed and the cooling mode of the refrigerator is a mixed air-cooling and direct cooling mode. Particularly, the present invention relates to a multi-temperature control refrigerator having ice-making function, in which the refrigeration cycle is a dual cycle and the cooling mode is a mixed air-cooling and direct cooling mode.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]While living standards are improved with each passing day, ice cubes are required more and more in our daily lives. The fact that a major part of the operation of ice is machines in the past involves manual work is not satisfactory but automatic ice machines facilitate the use of ice cubes greatly, because the whole ice-making process of an automatic ice machine doesn't involve any manual intervention.[0005]Automatic ice machines in the prior art can...
