[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration mechanical device that cools water through an evaporator by a refrigerant in a refrigeration system, uses the refrigeration system with water as the carrier, and manufactures ice after passing through a certain device under the power-on state.

[0003] Currently, most of the embedded ice makers in the industry have relatively single functions, only having two functions of making ice cubes and ice water. For example, a Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN119687618A discloses a household combined multifunctional ice maker, which includes a box body and a base. A waste water tank is installed at the lower left of the box body, and a water pump, a compressor, a condenser, a first ice making valve, a second ice making valve, and a defrosting valve are installed on the base. The ice making pump extracts the water inside the box body, sends the water into the U-shaped tube through the second output pipe, and is shunted to the evaporators at both ends by the U-shaped tube. The evaporators at both ends start making ice simultaneously, improving the ice making speed. The shunt holes, heat conducting fins, water inlet grooves, and water flow ports are all distributed on both sides, so that the water flow can start making ice on the heat conducting fins on both sides simultaneously, further improving the ice making efficiency; therefore, the evaporators arranged on both sides can simultaneously make four groups of ice, enable DIY ice making with the DIY ice making group, fill water in the ice trough, close the first ice making valve, open the second ice making valve, the low-temperature high-pressure liquid passes through the capillary tube for throttling and then enters the cold box, the separation box absorbs the heat on the cold box, and the water stored in the ice trough starts to condense to generate ice cubes.

[0017] The specific working principle of this solution is as follows: Power-on self-test. When no water is detected at the low level of the first liquid level gauge, the reverse osmosis system is powered on, and the first inlet solenoid valve opens to replenish water to the pure water tank until the high level, and then the first inlet solenoid valve closes; when no water is detected at the low level of the second liquid level gauge and the first microswitch senses that the kettle is placed properly at the same time, the reverse osmosis system is powered on, and the second inlet solenoid valve opens to replenish water to the kettle until the high level, and then the second inlet solenoid valve closes; when no water is detected at the low level of the third liquid level gauge, the third inlet solenoid valve opens to replenish water to the ice tank until the high level, and then the third inlet solenoid valve closes; when water reaches the high level in the first liquid level gauge, the second liquid level gauge and the third liquid level gauge, the reverse osmosis system shuts down.

[0018] Discharge normal temperature water: The first diaphragm pump is powered on, and water is discharged from the water outlet nozzle. When the water level is lower than the high level and the cumulative water discharge time reaches 30s, the reverse osmosis system and the first inlet solenoid valve are powered on to replenish water to the pure water tank until the high level and then powered off, and the diaphragm pump 1 is powered off after the water discharge stops.

[0019] Discharge hot water: The first diaphragm pump and the heating pipe are powered on, and water is discharged from the water outlet nozzle. When the water level is lower than the high level and the cumulative water discharge time reaches 30s, the reverse osmosis system and the first inlet solenoid valve are powered on to replenish water to the pure water tank until the high level and then powered off, and the first diaphragm pump and the heating pipe are powered off after the water discharge stops.

[0020] Make ice cubes: The ice tray motor is powered on and powered off when the ice tray flips and touches the second microswitch. The third diaphragm pump is powered on to supply water to the ice tray. After the ice tray is full of water after a certain time of water supply, the third diaphragm pump is powered off. The compressor and the fan are powered on. The refrigerant passes from the compressor exhaust port through the condenser, the dryer filter, and the capillary tube to reach the evaporator to start making ice cubes. At the same time, the ice water is made through the evaporation pipe in the ice tank and then returns to the compressor suction port. After making ice for a certain period of time, the ice tray motor is powered on, and the ice tray flips in the reverse direction and is powered off when it touches the third microswitch. At this time, the hot gas valve is powered on to start defrosting to the ice storage box. At the same time, the fourth diaphragm pump is powered on to pump the ice water in the ice storage box into the ice tank. After a certain period of time, the hot gas valve and the fourth diaphragm pump are powered off. The ice tray motor is powered on, and the ice tray flips and is powered off when it touches the second microswitch. The third diaphragm pump is powered on to supply water to the ice tray. After the ice tray is full of water after a certain time of water supply, the third diaphragm pump is powered off. This cycle continues until the infrared sensor detects that the ice storage box is full of ice. Then the ice tray motor is powered on, and the ice tray flips in the reverse direction and is powered off when it touches the third microswitch. At this time, the hot gas valve and the fourth diaphragm pump are powered on. After a certain period of time, the hot gas valve and the fourth diaphragm pump are powered off. At the same time, the compressor and the front fan are also powered off; when the infrared sensor detects that the ice storage box is not full of ice, make ice cubes again as described above; when the compressor is powered on, the front fan is powered on at the same time for heat dissipation. After the compressor is powered off, the front fan is powered off after a delay.

[0021] When taking out ice cubes, the ice discharging motor is powered on, and the ice cubes in the ice storage box are taken out by the ice discharging screw.

[0022] Making ice water: The compressor and the fan are powered on. The refrigerant flows from the compressor exhaust port through the condenser, the dryer filter, the capillary tube, and the evaporator to the evaporation tube in the ice water tank to start making ice water, and then returns to the compressor suction port for circulation. When the temperature detector detects that the temperature of the ice water tank reaches the set ice water temperature, the compressor and the fan are powered off; when the temperature of the ice water tank rises back to a certain temperature, the compressor and the fan are powered on again to cool the ice water tank; when releasing ice water, it flows out through the second diaphragm pump to the water outlet nozzle. When the water level is lower than the high liquid level and the cumulative water release time reaches 30 s, the reverse osmosis system and the third inlet solenoid valve are powered on to replenish water to the ice water tank until it reaches the high liquid level and then powered off. After stopping the water release, the second diaphragm pump is powered off.

[0023] Making pure water in the front kettle: When the first micro switch detects that the kettle is placed in place and the second liquid level gauge does not detect that the water level has reached, the second inlet solenoid valve is powered on to replenish water to the kettle until the second liquid level gauge detects that the water is full, and then the second inlet solenoid valve is closed to stop water inlet; when the kettle is taken away, the first micro switch cannot sense the kettle, and the second inlet solenoid valve will be immediately closed. After the kettle is placed in place, the liquid level will be detected again and water will be replenished. Description of the Drawings

[0036] As Figure 1When making ice as shown, the ice tray motor is powered on. When the ice tray flips and touches the second microswitch, it is powered off. The third diaphragm pump is powered on to supply water to the ice tray. After the ice tray is full of water after a certain period of water supply, the third diaphragm pump is powered off. The compressor and the fan are powered on. The refrigerant flows from the compressor exhaust port through the condenser, the dryer filter, the capillary tube, and reaches the evaporator to start making ice cubes.
