HEATING CONTROL METHOD, APPARATUS, AND ICE MAKER

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/232764

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A heating control method, an apparatus, and an ice maker. The heating control method comprises: determining that an ice maker is in an ice-making work state, and if the previous water intake is the initial water intake when a target ice maker is turned on, continuously heating a water inlet pipe for a first preset duration, controlling a water inlet valve (A03) to be kept shut until the heating of the water inlet pipe is completed, where it is necessary to ensure that no ice is present in the water inlet pipe when the water inlet pipe is continuously heated for the first preset duration, and to ensure that water can be introduced smoothly into a water reservoir tank of the ice maker even if ice is present. This solves the problem of high energy consumption of an ice maker water inlet pipe heating control technique in the prior art and provides the beneficial effect of precise and low energy consumption heating control with respect to an ice maker water inlet pipe.
