Detailed Description

So that the manner in which the features and aspects of the embodiments of the present invention can be understood in detail, a more particular description of the embodiments of the invention, briefly summarized above, may be had by reference to the embodiments, some of which are illustrated in the appended drawings.

Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a full ice processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the method includes:

step 101: when full ice is detected, time configuration information is obtained.

The full ice refers to that part or all of ice blocks with preset quantity values in the ice storage chamber reach a full ice line.

Here, the preset number value may be set or adjusted according to user use requirements or manufacturer design requirements, and the ice filling line may be set or adjusted according to user use requirements or manufacturer design requirements.

Here, the full ice line may also be understood as a full ice state warning line.

In some alternative embodiments, a full ice detection module, such as a full ice detection sensor, is responsible for detecting full ice.

In some optional embodiments, the obtaining time configuration information includes:

acquiring an ambient temperature and/or a full ice temperature;

determining time configuration information according to the environment temperature and/or the full ice temperature;

wherein the time configuration information comprises a time interval T1 between two adjacent stirring times and a time T2 of each stirring time.

For example, an ambient temperature detection module such as an ambient temperature sensor is responsible for acquiring the ambient temperature.

For example, a full-ice temperature detection module, such as a full-ice temperature sensor, is responsible for acquiring the full-ice temperature.

In practice, the ice-full line is designed for ice cubes of a preset regular shape, such as a square. If the ice cubes are in a non-preset regular shape such as a triangle, at least one corner of the ice cubes which can form certain triangles exceeds the full ice line, and the phenomenon of false reporting of full ice occurs. The inventor finds that the ambient temperature, the ice-full temperature and the like all have influence on the ice-full state in the research and development process.

According to the embodiment, the time configuration information is determined according to the environment temperature and/or the ice-full temperature, different time configuration information is configured for the ice cubes in different environments, and the ice cubes can be prevented from being solidified effectively in a targeted mode after the ice cubes are full.

Step 102: based on the time profile, stirring of the ice cubes is performed at intervals to prevent the ice cubes from freezing.

That is, the stirring is performed on the ice cubes according to the time interval T1 between the adjacent two stirring times and each stirring time T2.

In this embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the method further includes:

and when the number of times of stirring the ice blocks is a preset value, re-detecting whether the ice blocks are full of ice or not.

Therefore, the ice block can be prevented from being solidified, and whether the ice block is in a full ice state can be monitored in time.

Further, the method further comprises:

and when the re-detection result is that the ice is not full, stopping stirring.

That is, it is determined that the ice cubes are not frozen when the ice is not full.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes:

after the task of stirring ice cubes is completed, the ice door is closed to detect whether or not the ice door is still full of ice while the ice door is in a closed state.

Thus, the newly made ice blocks can be prevented from being transferred to the ice storage chamber, and the influence on the detection result is reduced.

In the embodiment of the present invention, if the ice-full state is detected again when the number of times of stirring the ice cubes is a preset value, the method further includes:

the ice making function is turned off.

Therefore, the ice blocks can be prevented from being continuously made, and the problem that the ice blocks in the ice storage chamber are over-full or the pressure is caused to the ice storage chamber due to the newly made ice blocks can be avoided.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes:

when the ice discharging operation is detected, the stirring is stopped.

Thus, since the ice discharging operation is detected, the ice cubes in the ice storage chamber are reduced, and the ice cubes in the non-ice-full state are not solidified.

According to the full ice processing method, when full ice is detected, time configuration information is acquired; performing stirring of ice cubes at intervals based on the time configuration information to prevent the ice cubes from solidifying; therefore, the scheme for preventing the ice blocks from being solidified after the ice is full is provided, and the problem of the ice blocks being solidified after the ice is full is solved. .

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a control flow of stirring ice after ice is full according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, the control flow may include:

step 201: judging whether full ice is detected, if so, executing step 202; if not, go to step 206;

here, when full ice is detected, counting is started, and the counted time is denoted by t.

Step 202: judging whether the time interval T1 of ice stirring is reached, if yes, executing step 203; if not, continuing to monitor whether the time interval T1 of ice stirring is reached;

here, the time interval T1 for stirring ice cubes may be set or adjusted according to actual conditions.

Step 203: stirring is performed, and then step 204 is performed;

step 204: judging whether the stirring time reaches the preset ice stirring time T2, if so, executing step 205; if not, returning to the step 203;

here, the time T2 for stirring ice cubes may be set or adjusted according to actual conditions.

Step 205: making the timing time t equal to 0, namely clearing the timing time, and then ending the whole process;

step 206: let the timer t equal to 0, and then end the whole process.

Therefore, when the full ice detection module detects full ice, timing is carried out, and when the full ice detection module detects full ice, stirring is carried out for a certain time. When the full ice detection module detects that the ice is not full, stirring is not carried out all the time.

Specifically, first, the size of the time interval T1 for stirring ice cubes and the stirring time T2 are determined. Next, when the ice-full detection module detects ice-full, the time is counted, and when the time reaches T1, the stirring time is T2. After the stirring was completed, the timer was again started, and when the time reached T1, the stirring was continued for a stirring time T2, and the cycle was repeated. And finally, when the full ice detection module detects that the ice is not full ice, clearing the timing and the stirring time. That is, when the ice is not full, the stirring is not performed.

The technical scheme provides a reliable control scheme for preventing ice from freezing, ice can not be frozen when the ice is not full, and ice is stirred only in the ice full state, so that the problem that ice blocks are easy to freeze when the ice maker is full of ice is solved.
