Abstract:
An ice maker, a water level detection device thereof and a water level detection method therefor. Said ice maker comprises an ice making mechanism (10), an ice storage room (20), a cold water tank (30) and a water spraying mechanism (40). Said water level detection device comprises a water level sensor (100), a detection probe (101) of the water level sensor (100) extends into the interior of the cold water tank, for detecting the water level of the cold water tank (30) and generating water level information; a control unit (200) which is connected to the water level sensor (100), the control unit (200) being used for determining the water level of the cold water tank (30), so as to control the ice maker to supply water when the water level of the cold water tank (30) is below a first preset water level, and control the ice maker to stop supplying water when the water level of the cold water tank (30) is above a second preset water level. Said device is able to control the ice maker to supply water when the water level is below a first preset water level, thereby being able to prevent idleness of the water pump of the ice maker caused by an excessively low water level in the cold water tank (30), and further being able to reduce the failure rate of the ice maker; in addition, said device has a simple structure.
