AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

During the ice making process, existing ice making machines have problems such as large energy loss and unbalanced installation of water connection trays, resulting in inconsistent ice making.

Method used

An ice maker is designed, using a water system, gravity sensor, liquid level adjustment device and control module. The weight of ice removed by the ice mold is measured by gravity sensor, and the liquid level adjustment device and control module are used to automatically adjust the position of the liquid level sensor to accurately control the liquid level of the ice-making water.

Benefits of technology

The consistency of ice-making mechanisms has been achieved, the utilization rate of ice-making water has been improved, energy loss has been reduced, and the ice size can be diversified according to customer needs.

Abstract

The invention provides an ice maker and a control method. The ice maker comprises a waterway system, a gravity sensor, a liquid level adjusting device and a control module. The waterway system comprises a water pan and an ice mold. And the ice mold sucks the water in the water pan and makes the water into ice. And the gravity sensor is used for measuring the weight of ice removed from the ice mold. The liquid level adjusting device is arranged on the water pan and comprises a first liquid level sensor and a second liquid level sensor. The first liquid level sensor is located above the second liquid level sensor. And the control module controls the ice mold to deice through the liquid level detected by the second liquid level sensor. And the height of the first liquid level sensor in the water pan is adjustable. The ice maker solves the technical problem of large energy loss of the ice maker.
