REFRIGERATOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/151993
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a refrigerator provided with: an ice-making tray (10) which comprises an ice-making surface for forming ice; an ice-separating motor (11) which performs a regular turning motion for turning the ice-making tray (10) from a horizontal first position in which the ice-making surface faces upward to a horizontal second position in which the ice-making surface faces downward, and which performs a reverse turning motion for returning the ice-making tray (10) to the first position; and a position detection means (6) which detects the position of the ice-making tray (10) and whether or not an ice storage box (9) is filled with ice, and which notifies the ice-separating motor (11) of the detected result. If the position detection means (6) detects that the ice storage box (9) is filled with ice during the regular turning motion, the ice-separating motor (11) ignores the notification from the position detection means (6) indicating that the ice-making tray (10) has returned to the first position, and the ice-separating motor (11) continues the reverse turning motion for a predetermined period of time only.
