Abstract
A refrigerator control method comprises: collecting working parameters of an ice making system; when the working parameters meet a preset normal defrosting condition of an ice making evaporator, controlling a defrosting unit corresponding to the ice making evaporator to be started; and when information on an amount of ice in an ice bin is detected to be full ice information, and when the working parameters meet a preset full ice defrosting condition of the ice making evaporator, controlling the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice making evaporator to be started.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A refrigerator control method, comprising:
collecting working parameters of an ice making system; when the working parameters meet a preset normal defrosting condition of an ice making evaporator, controlling a defrosting unit corresponding to the ice making evaporator to be started; and when information on an amount of ice in an ice bin is detected to be full ice information, and when the working parameters meet a preset full ice defrosting condition of the ice making evaporator, controlling the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice making evaporator to be started.
2 . The refrigerator control method according to claim 1 , wherein the working parameters comprise a cumulative running time of a compressor and/or a number of ice making times of an ice making device after last defrosting of the ice making evaporator is finished.
3 . The refrigerator control method according to claim 2 , wherein the situation that the working parameters meet the preset normal defrosting condition comprises the following situations:
the cumulative running time of the compressor after the last defrosting of the ice making evaporator is finished reaches a preset normal defrosting cycle of the ice making evaporator, and/or the number of ice making times of the ice making device reaches a preset number of normal defrosting ice making times; the situation that the working parameters meet the preset full ice defrosting condition comprises the following situations: the cumulative running time of the compressor after the last defrosting of the ice making evaporator is finished is greater than or equal to a preset full ice defrosting cycle of the ice making evaporator, and/or the number of ice making times of the ice making device is greater than or equal to a preset number of full ice defrosting ice making times; the normal defrosting cycle of the ice making evaporator is greater than the full ice defrosting cycle, and the number of normal defrosting ice making times is greater than the number of full ice defrosting ice making times.
4 . A refrigerator control method, comprising:
collecting working parameters of an ice making system; when the working parameters meet a preset normal defrosting condition of an ice making evaporator, judging whether an ice making compartment is required to be precooled according to information on an amount of ice in an ice bin; when the ice making compartment is required to be precooled, controlling a refrigerating system to refrigerate the ice making compartment, and when a temperature of the ice making compartment is monitored to be equal to or lower than a precooling temperature, controlling a defrosting unit corresponding to the ice making evaporator to be started; when the ice making compartment is not required to be precooled, controlling the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice making evaporator to be started; and when information on an amount of ice in an ice bin is detected to be full ice information, and when the working parameters meet a preset full ice defrosting condition of the ice making evaporator, controlling the defrosting unit corresponding to the ice making evaporator to be started.
5 . The refrigerator control method according to claim 4 , wherein the “judging whether an ice making compartment is required to be precooled according to information on an amount of ice in an ice bin” comprises:
when the information on the amount of the ice is non-full ice information, determining that the ice making compartment is required to be precooled; and
when the information on the amount of the ice is full ice information, determining that the ice making compartment is not required to be precooled.
6 . The refrigerator control method according to claim 4 , wherein the “judging whether an ice making compartment is required to be precooled according to information on an amount of ice in an ice bin” comprises:
when the amount of the ice in the ice bin is greater than or equal to a first preset value, determining that the ice making compartment is not required to be precooled; and
when the amount of the ice in the ice bin is less than the first preset value, determining that the ice making compartment is required to be precooled.
7 . The refrigerator control method according to claim 4 , further comprising:
when the ice making compartment is required to be precooled, matching the corresponding precooling temperature according to the ice amount information.
8 . The refrigerator control method according to claim 4 , wherein the working parameters comprise a cumulative running time of a compressor and/or a number of ice making times of an ice making device after last defrosting of the ice making evaporator is finished.
9 . The refrigerator control method according to claim 8 , wherein the situation that the working parameters meet the preset normal defrosting condition comprises the following situations:
the cumulative running time of the compressor after the last defrosting of the ice making evaporator is finished reaches a preset normal defrosting cycle of the ice making evaporator, and/or the number of ice making times of the ice making device reaches a preset number of normal defrosting ice making times; the situation that the working parameters meet the preset full ice defrosting condition comprises the following situations: the cumulative running time of the compressor after the last defrosting of the ice making evaporator is finished is greater than or equal to a preset full ice defrosting cycle of the ice making evaporator, and/or the number of ice making times of the ice making device is greater than or equal to a preset number of full ice defrosting ice making times; the normal defrosting cycle of the ice making evaporator is greater than the full ice defrosting cycle, and the number of normal defrosting ice making times is greater than the number of full ice defrosting ice making times.
10 . A refrigerator control method, comprising:
collecting working parameters of an ice making system; when the working parameters meet a preset normal defrosting condition, or when information on an amount of ice in an ice bin is detected to be full ice information and the working parameters are detected to meet a preset full ice defrosting condition, controlling a refrigerating system to refrigerate an ice making compartment; and when a temperature of the ice making compartment is monitored to be lower than or equal to a precooling temperature, controlling a defrosting unit corresponding to the ice making evaporator to be started.
11 . The refrigerator control method according to claim 10 , comprising:
matching a corresponding precooling temperature according to the ice amount information for the ice bin.
12 . The refrigerator control method according to claim 10 , wherein the working parameters comprise a cumulative running time of a compressor and/or a number of ice making times of an ice making device after last defrosting of the ice making evaporator is finished.
13 . The refrigerator control method according to claim 10 , wherein the situation that the working parameters meet the preset normal defrosting condition comprises the following situations:
the cumulative running time of the compressor after the last defrosting of the ice making evaporator is finished reaches a preset normal defrosting cycle of the ice making evaporator, and/or the number of ice making times of the ice making device reaches a preset number of normal defrosting ice making times; the situation that the working parameters meet the preset full ice defrosting condition comprises the following situations: the cumulative running time of the compressor after the last defrosting of the ice making evaporator is finished is greater than or equal to a preset full ice defrosting cycle of the ice making evaporator, and/or the number of ice making times of the ice making device is greater than or equal to a preset number of full ice defrosting ice making times; the normal defrosting cycle of the ice making evaporator is greater than the full ice defrosting cycle, and the number of normal defrosting ice making times is greater than the number of full ice defrosting ice making times.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
