Provided are a refrigerator and an energy-saving control method and apparatus therefor. The refrigerator includes an ice maker. The ice maker includes an ice discharge electric motor (), an ice storage bin () and an ice storage bin position switch (). The method includes: detecting and determining that the ice storage bin () is in a full ice state; controlling the ice maker so that same stops making ice, and acquiring the state of at least one of the ice discharge electric motor () and the ice storage bin position switch (); and according to the state of at least one of the ice discharge electric motor () and the ice storage bin position switch (), determining that the ice maker needs to do heating and ice detection actions.

Refrigerator and energy-saving control method and apparatus therefor

An ice machine, a fault handling method and fault handling apparatus of the ice machine, and a refrigeration device. The ice machine includes an ice machine body, an ice making tray located in the ice machine body, a heating assembly, and an ice stirring assembly for stirring out ice made in the ice making tray. A fault of an ice stirring assembly is automatically removed by means of a heating treatment mode of gradually raising a heating temperature multiple times, the method and apparatus moving simply and quickly, wherein the satisfaction degree of users is improved.

Ice machine, fault handling method and fault handling apparatus for ice machine, and refrigeration device

A refrigerator comprising a refrigerator body provided with a refrigerating compartment, an ice maker, an ice-making air duct, a first fan assembly disposed in the ice-making air duct and an ice maker evaporator is disclosed. The ice-making air duct comprises an air inlet duct and an air return duct, which are both disposed in a foaming layer of the refrigerating compartment, and one ends thereof close to the ice maker extend into a foaming layer on a door body of the ice maker. The first fan assembly is detachably disposed in the air return duct, and may be integrally disassembled from and installed in the air return duct. The ice maker evaporator is disposed between the air inlet duct and the air return duct and at the side far away from the ice maker.

Refrigerator

An ice discharger is disclosed comprising an ice storage box provided with an ice outlet and an ice inlet, and an ice stirring unit and an ice pushing unit located within the ice storage box; the ice stirring unit comprises an ice stirring section disposed inside the ice storage box and a stirrer disposed rotatably within the ice stirring section, an ice cube inlet and an ice cube outlet are disposed at the top and on the side wall of the ice stirring section, respectively; and the ice pushing unit comprises a circular ice discharging passage disposed between the ice stirring section and the ice storage box, and an ice pushing assembly disposed rotatably within the circular ice discharging passage and for pushing an ice cube to the ice outlet of ice storage box thereby improving the uniformity of the amount of discharged ice.

Ice discharger and refrigerator comprising the same

The present disclosure provides an ice maker comprising: an ice tray, an ice making compartment and a heating compartment, wherein the ice tray can be switched between the ice making compartment and the heating compartment to realize ice making and heating for ice unloading, and there is no need to arrange a heater on the ice tray. The present disclosure also discloses a refrigerator, comprising a door body on which the ice maker as described above is disposed, wherein an ice outlet of the ice maker communicates with a distributor on the door body, thus facilitating ice taking without opening the door body. The present disclosure also discloses a refrigerator, comprising a refrigerating compartment in which the ice maker as described above is disposed, wherein the ice making compartment of the ice maker communicates with a freezer compartment or a cold air outlet of an evaporator.

Ice maker and refrigerator

An ice maker () includes an ice-making water tank (), a water storage tank (), a pipe assembly, a reversing member (), and a driving member (). The pipe assembly comprises a first branch pipe (), a second branch pipe (), and a third branch pipe (). The first branch pipe () is connected to the water storage tank (). The second branch pipe () and the third branch pipe () are separately connected to the ice-making water tank (). The reversing member () is separately connected to the three branch pipes to control two of the branch pipes to be communicated and the rest one of the branch pipes to disconnected. The driving member () is connected to the third branch pipe in series. During ice making, the reversing member () controls the second branch pipe () and the third branch pipe () to be communicated and controls the first branch pipe () to be disconnected. The driving member () operates to drive the water to circulate among the ice-making water tank (), the second branch pipe () and the third branch pipe ().
