Description

本発明は、製氷皿が取り外し可能な冷凍冷蔵庫において、この製氷皿を交換することにより、製氷する氷のサイズを変更する冷凍冷蔵庫に関する。   The present invention relates to a refrigerator-freezer that changes the size of ice to be made by exchanging the ice tray in a refrigerator-freezer in which the ice tray is removable.

冷凍冷蔵庫の自動製氷器において、製氷する氷のサイズを大小の２つのサイズにしたいという要望は従来からあった。   In an automatic ice maker of a refrigerator-freezer, there has been a demand for making the size of ice to be made into two sizes, large and small.

このため、給水する水量を少なくて、通常時に比べて、小さなサイズの氷を作成することが提案されている（特許文献１参照）。   For this reason, it has been proposed to produce ice with a smaller size than in normal times by reducing the amount of water supplied (see Patent Document 1).

また、製氷皿自体を交換し、通常に比べて、小さなサイズの氷を作成することが提案されている（特許文献２参照）。そして、この場合は、大きなサイズの氷を作成するための製氷皿はその製氷個数を少なく設計し、小さなサイズの氷を作成するための製氷皿はその製氷個数を多く設計して、その給水量が同じになるようにしていた。また、上下に製氷皿部分を形成することも提案されている（特許文献３参照）なお、製氷皿を交換する自動製氷器については、特許文献４にも提案されている。
特開２００５−１２７６９８号公報 実公平５−１０１９４号公報 特開平９−２４３２２０号公報 特開２００１−２１５０７３号公報 In addition, it has been proposed to change the ice tray itself to produce ice having a smaller size than usual (see Patent Document 2). In this case, the ice tray for creating large-size ice is designed with a small number of ice making units, and the ice tray for creating small-size ice is designed with a large number of ice making units, and the amount of water supplied Had to be the same. It has also been proposed to form ice tray parts on the top and bottom (see Patent Document 3). An automatic ice maker that replaces ice trays is also proposed in Patent Document 4.

本発明は、好適なサイズの氷を製氷する冷凍冷蔵庫を提案するものである。   The present invention proposes a refrigerator-freezer that makes ice of a suitable size.

つまり、製氷皿を交換して、氷のサイズを変更するタイプの自動製氷器では、従来、給水量が一定であったが、これでは、この２種の製氷皿の設計時に「両製氷皿において、同じ給水量で大サイズの製氷も良好に行え、小サイズの製氷も良好に行える」という縛りが生じてしまう。   In other words, in an automatic ice maker that replaces ice trays and changes the size of ice, the amount of water supply has been constant in the past, but now, when designing these two types of ice trays, , Large size ice making can be done well with the same water supply, and small size ice making can be done well. "

本願は、給水量の異なる製氷皿を選択的に自動製氷器にセットできる冷凍冷蔵庫において、この製氷皿に応じた給水量の切り換えを自動的に行う冷凍冷蔵庫を実現するための制御方法を提案するものである。   The present application proposes a control method for realizing a refrigerator-freezer that automatically switches the amount of water supply according to the ice tray in a refrigerator-freezer that can selectively set ice trays with different water supply amounts to an automatic ice maker. Is.

本発明は、自動製氷器の製氷皿が取り外し可能な冷凍冷蔵庫の製氷皿の給水量判別方法において、自動製氷器が取り付けられた製氷室の天井に設けられたホール素子にて、この製氷皿の回動時に所定位置の磁石の有無を判定することにより製氷皿の種別を判定し、これに応じた水量を給水することを特徴とする。     The present invention relates to a method for determining the amount of water supplied to an ice tray of a refrigerator-freezer in which an ice tray of an automatic ice maker can be removed, and a hall element provided on the ceiling of an ice making chamber to which the automatic ice maker is attached. It is characterized in that the type of ice tray is determined by determining the presence or absence of a magnet at a predetermined position during rotation, and the amount of water corresponding to this is supplied.

本発明は、識別手段を備えた製氷皿である。   The present invention is an ice tray equipped with identification means.

本発明では、製氷皿の回動時にこの製氷皿の所定位置に取り付けられている磁石の有無を判定することにより、製氷皿の種別を判定し、この製氷皿に応じた適量の水を給水することができる。 In the present invention, when the ice tray is rotated, it is determined whether or not there is a magnet attached to a predetermined position of the ice tray, thereby determining the type of the ice tray, and supplying an appropriate amount of water according to the ice tray. be able to.

本発明は、自動製氷器の製氷皿が取り外し可能な冷凍冷蔵庫において、前記自動製氷器に取り付けられた製氷皿を識別することを特徴とする。   The present invention is characterized in that an ice tray attached to the automatic ice maker is identified in a refrigerator-freezer in which the ice tray of the automatic ice maker is removable.

本発明の自動製氷器では、従来と同様に製氷皿が交換可能である。そして、この製氷皿は、通常サイズ（以下大サイズ）の氷を作る製氷皿と、小さなサイズ（以下小サイズ）の氷を作る製氷皿が、使用者によって選択されて取り付けられている。   In the automatic ice maker of the present invention, the ice tray can be replaced as in the conventional case. In this ice tray, an ice tray that produces ice of normal size (hereinafter referred to as large size) and an ice tray that generates ice of small size (hereinafter referred to as small size) are selected and attached by the user.

大サイズ用の製氷皿は従来と同様であるが、小さなサイズ用の製氷皿には、端部に識別手段として磁石が取り付けられている。   The large-size ice tray is the same as the conventional one, but a magnet is attached to the end of the small-size ice tray as identification means.

そして、冷凍冷蔵庫の本体側には、この識別用の磁石を検出するホール素子を設けてある。   A hall element for detecting the identification magnet is provided on the main body side of the refrigerator-freezer.

これにより、冷凍冷蔵庫は、ホール素子が磁石を検出しなかった場合は、大サイズ用の製氷皿が取り付けられていると判断して、これにあった水量を給水する。   Thereby, when the Hall element does not detect the magnet, the refrigerator-freezer determines that a large-sized ice tray is attached, and supplies water corresponding thereto.

また、冷凍冷蔵庫は、ホール素子が磁石を検出した場合は、小サイズ用の製氷皿が取り付けられていると判断して、これにあった水量（一般的には、大サイズ用よりも少量）を給水する。   Also, if the freezer / refrigerator detects a magnet in the hall element, it is judged that a small-size ice tray is installed, and the amount of water in the ice tray (generally smaller than that for the large size) Supply water.

図を参照しつつ、これを説明する。図は、製氷室の概略を示すものであり、図１は製氷時の製氷皿５の位置を示すものである。図２は脱氷のために製氷皿５を捻るために、この製氷皿５を回動させた時の図である。製氷皿５は、自動製氷器１に着脱自在に取り付けられており、複数種類の製氷皿５を選択的に取り付けることが可能である。   This will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an outline of the ice making chamber, and FIG. 1 shows the position of the ice tray 5 during ice making. FIG. 2 is a view when the ice tray 5 is rotated in order to twist the ice tray 5 for deicing. The ice tray 5 is detachably attached to the automatic ice maker 1, and a plurality of types of ice trays 5 can be selectively attached.

製氷室の天井３には、ホール素子４が埋め込まれている。また、小サイズ用の製氷皿５には、磁石６が埋め込まれている。なお、この実施例では、給水量は２種類あり、この小サイズ用の製氷皿５の給水量は少量であり、磁石６の埋め込まれていない大サイズ用の製氷皿の給水量は通常量である。   A hall element 4 is embedded in the ceiling 3 of the ice making chamber. A magnet 6 is embedded in the small-sized ice tray 5. In this embodiment, there are two types of water supply, the amount of water supplied by the small size ice tray 5 is small, and the amount of water supplied by the large size ice tray without the magnet 6 embedded is a normal amount. is there.

この図２は、脱氷のために、製氷皿５を図示省略したモータにより回動させている途中であり、脱氷は、製氷皿の一端をモータで回動させながら、残りの製氷皿の他端側の回動を停止させることにより、この製氷皿５を捻って、脱氷させる一般的なものである。   This FIG. 2 is in the middle of rotating the ice tray 5 by a motor (not shown) for deicing. Deicing is performed by rotating one end of the ice tray with the motor while the other ice trays are rotated. By stopping the rotation of the other end, the ice tray 5 is twisted and deiced.

この冷凍冷蔵庫では、この脱氷動作等のための製氷皿５の回動時にホール素子４が磁石５を検出すると、この製氷皿５が小サイズ用の製氷皿５と判断して、給水時の給水量を少量とし、製氷皿５の回動時にホール素子４が磁石５を検出しないと、この製氷皿５が大サイズ用の製氷皿５と判断して、給水時の給水量を通常量とする。   In this refrigerator-freezer, if the hall element 4 detects the magnet 5 when the ice tray 5 is rotated for the deicing operation or the like, the ice tray 5 is determined to be a small size ice tray 5 and water supply is performed. If the water supply amount is small and the hall element 4 does not detect the magnet 5 when the ice tray 5 is rotated, the ice tray 5 is determined to be a large size ice tray 5 and the water supply amount at the time of water supply is the normal amount. To do.
