20100017039 | DRIVE CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REFRIGERATOR TYPE FAN MOTOR - An apparatus and method for controlling driving of a fan motor for a refrigerator are disclosed. When operated, a plurality of fan motors provided in a refrigerator are sequentially operated at certain delay times, to thus improve operation efficiency of the plurality of fan motors. The apparatus for controlling driving of a fan motor includes: at least one blowing unit that supplies cool air; a driving unit that generates a drive signal for driving the blowing unit; a control unit that controls operation of the driving unit; a power unit that provides operation power of the driving unit and the control unit; and a cut-off unit that is positioned between the driving unit and the power unit and cuts off noise and a surge voltage introduced from the power unit to the driving unit. | 01-21-2010 |
20100122546 | ICE DISPENSING TECHNOLOGY - An ice-making device that includes a duct through which ice is dispensed and a duct-covering part for opening and closing the duct. An ice conveying part conveys the ice dispensed through the duct. A driving speed of the ice conveying part increases for a previously set initial driving time when the dispensing of the ice starts, and the ice conveying part is driven at a previously set target speed when the initial driving time elapses. | 05-20-2010 |
20100122547 | ICE DISPENSING TECHNOLOGY - An ice-making device includes a duct through which ice is dispensed and a duct-covering part opening and closing the duct. A sensor part senses whether the duct-covering part closes the duct and a control part controls the duct-covering part to open the duct when the sensor part senses that the duct-covering part fails to close the duct and the duct-covering part has been attempting to close the duct for at least a preset period of time. | 05-20-2010 |
20100122751 | ICE DISPENSING TECHNOLOGY - An ice-making device includes a duct through which ice is dispensed and a duct-covering part opening and closing the duct. When an operation load applied to the duct-covering part while the duct-covering part closes the duct is greater than a preset normal load, the duct-covering part operates to open the duct. | 05-20-2010 |
20100131105 | ICE DISPENSING TECHNOLOGY - An ice making apparatus for a refrigerator, in which an ice bank stores ice and has an opening that discharges ice on its one side. An ejector opens and closes the opening and is rotatably provided at the opening to also eject ice from the ice bank. After completion of an ice discharging operation, a sensor senses a relative position of the ejector against the ice bank and the ejector is controlled to close the opening to the extent necessary. | 05-27-2010 |
20100236277 | REFRIGERATOR AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME - A refrigerator and a method for controlling such a refrigerator is provided in which a receiving box may be automatically drawn in and out together with a door that forms a front face thereof in response to a command input at an input unit, thereby increasing user convenience. | 09-23-2010 |
20100236278 | REFRIGERATOR AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME - A refrigerator and a method for controlling the same are provided. In this refrigerator and control method, a receiving box may be automatically drawn in and out together with a door based on a movement command received at an input unit, thus enhancing user convenience and satisfaction. | 09-23-2010 |
20100236279 | REFRIGERATOR - A refrigerator is provided. The refrigerator includes a receiving box that may be automatically drawn in and out together with a door in response to a door drawing in command or drawing out command, thereby enhancing user convenience. | 09-23-2010 |
20100236280 | REFRIGERATOR - A refrigerator includes a drawer having a door and a receiving box attached thereto. The drawer may be automatically moved in forward and backward directions. A supply of standby voltage may be intercepted by a drawer driving mechanism when the door is closed so as to reduce power consumption and improve response time to drawer opening and closing commands. | 09-23-2010 |
20100236281 | REFRIGERATOR AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - A refrigerator and a method for controlling the same are provided. With the refrigerator and the method for controlling the refrigerator, a receiving box may be automatically drawn in and out together with a door when a user operates an input device that inputs door drawing in and out instructions, thereby increasing use convenience of children and older people. | 09-23-2010 |
