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 detection method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the method includes:

step 101: when full ice is detected, the ambient temperature and/or full ice temperature is acquired.

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 alternative embodiments, an ambient temperature detection module, such as an ambient temperature sensor, is responsible for collecting the ambient temperature.

In some alternative embodiments, 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, whether the ice-full environment is in a heating environment or not and the like all affect the ice-full state in the research and development process. This embodiment judges whether be in real full ice state through carrying out the analysis to the data acquisition of different types, like this, can improve full ice detection's the degree of accuracy to help reducing full ice state's false positive rate.

Step 102: determining a collection environment for the ambient temperature and/or the full ice temperature.

Here, the collection environment means whether or not heating is performed.

Wherein the heating includes heating and not heating or not heating the module at all.

For example, when the collection environment is heated, the collection environment includes: the ice maker has a heating control module, such as a heater, and the heating control module is heating.

For example, when the collection environment is not heated, the method includes: the ice maker is free of a heating control module such as a heater; alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

the ice maker has a heating control module such as a heater, but the heating control module is not heated.

Step 103: and judging whether a preset full ice condition is met or not according to the environment temperature and/or the full ice temperature by combining the acquisition environment.

In this embodiment, when the collection environment is heating, the preset ice-full condition is set as the first ice-full condition. And when the collection environment is not heated, recording the preset ice-full condition as a second ice-full condition.

That is, the ice-full condition detection criteria are different when the collection environment is heated and when the collection environment is unheated. Thus, it is more helpful to improve the accuracy of the ice-full condition detection than to adopt the same ice-full condition detection criterion.

Wherein the first full ice condition comprises:

when the collection environment is a heated environment,

when the ambient temperature is lower than the first temperature threshold (recorded as T1), the ice-full temperature is lower than the second temperature threshold (recorded as T2) and is full, and the ice-full temperature is higher than the third temperature threshold (recorded as T3) and is not full;

when the ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold (noted as T1), the ice-full state is full when the ice-full state temperature is less than the fourth temperature threshold (noted as T4), and the ice-full state temperature is less than the fifth temperature threshold (noted as T5).

Wherein the second ice-full condition comprises:

when the collection environment is an unheated environment,

when the ambient temperature is lower than the sixth temperature threshold (recorded as T6), the ice-full state is judged to be full when the ice-full state temperature is lower than the seventh temperature threshold (recorded as T7), and the ice-full state temperature is lower than the eighth temperature threshold (recorded as T8);

when the ambient temperature is equal to or higher than the sixth temperature threshold (denoted as T6), the ice-full state temperature sensor is ice-full when it is lower than the ninth temperature threshold (denoted as T9), and is not full when it is higher than the tenth temperature threshold (denoted as T10).

Step 104: and when the ice-full condition is determined to be met, judging that the ice-full state exists.

In some optional embodiments, the method further comprises:

and if the ice-full state is judged, outputting alarm information.

In this embodiment, the alarm information is used to prompt a user that an ice storage chamber in the ice maker needs to perform an ice discharging operation.

Here, the alarm information may be output in the form of text, graphics, voice, or the like.

For example, the alarm information can be output through a display screen on the ice maker.

For another example, the alarm information may be output through a reminding module on the ice maker, such as a voice reminding module or a buzzer.

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

when full ice is detected, a full ice condition detection process is entered, and full ice condition detection is performed in the ice door closed state.

That is, the confirmation of the ice-full state is performed in a state where ice is not discharged.

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

if the detected state does not meet the preset full ice condition after N times, judging that the state is in a non-full ice state; wherein, the time interval between two adjacent detections is a preset time interval; wherein N is a positive integer.

Thus, the accuracy of full ice detection can be improved due to multiple detections.

It should be noted that the preset time interval is different for different acquisition environments. For example, when the collection environment is heating, the corresponding preset time interval is t 1; when the collection environment is not heated, the corresponding preset time interval is t 2.

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

when the ice-full state is judged, 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 this embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the method further includes:

when full ice is detected, the ice making function is turned off.

Thus, the ice cubes can be prevented from being continuously made, and the newly made ice cubes can be prevented from being transferred to the ice storage chamber to influence the detection result.

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

when the ice discharging operation is detected, the full ice state is cleared.

Thus, the ice in the ice storage chamber is reduced by the detection of the ice discharge operation, and the alarm of the ice full state is temporarily released.

According to the full ice detection method, when full ice is detected, the ambient temperature and/or the full ice temperature are/is acquired; determining a collection environment for the ambient temperature and/or the full ice temperature; judging whether a preset full ice condition is met or not according to the environment temperature and/or the full ice temperature by combining the acquisition environment; when the full ice condition is determined to be met, judging that the ice is in a full ice state; therefore, the influence factors of the full-ice state are fully considered, the problem of inaccurate full-ice detection is solved, the accuracy of the full-ice detection is improved, and the full-ice detection method is favorable for reducing the false positive rate of the full-ice state.

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

step 201: judging whether the full ice detection sensor detects full ice or not, if so, executing step 202; if not, go to step 206;

step 202: judging whether the full ice program is just entered, if so, executing step 203; if not, go to step 207;

step 203: performing an operation of closing the ice door, and then performing step 204;

step 204: judging whether the full ice judgment condition is met, if so, executing the step 205; if not, ending the whole process;

step 205: judging that the ice is really full, and then finishing the whole process;

step 206: judging whether the ice is in a full ice state or not, and then finishing the whole process;

step 207, judging whether the ice is really full of ice or not, and if so, ending the whole process; if not, go to step 208;

step 208, judging whether the closing of the ice door is finished, if so, executing step 209; if not, ending the whole process;

step 209, delaying time t1, and then executing step 210;

the ice door is now closed, and this delay is to ensure that the ice door is fully closed.

Step 210, delaying time t2, and then executing step 211;

that is, if the full ice detection sensor still detects full ice, the time t2 is delayed.

Step 211, judging whether the full ice judgment condition is met, if yes, executing step 205; if not, go to step 212;

step 212, adding 1 to the full ice judgment times, and then executing step 213;

step 213, judging whether the ice-full judgment frequency is more than N, if so, executing step 214; if not, returning to step 202;

and step 214, judging a full ice fault and then finishing the whole process.

That is, if the ice-full state is detected N times or if the preset ice-full condition is not met, it is determined that the ice-full state is not reached. That is, the full ice state prompted by the current ice maker belongs to a full ice error, i.e., an error prompt.

In the above-described aspect, when the full ice detection sensor detects full ice, the full ice detection program is entered. When the full ice detection sensor detects that the ice is not full, the full ice detection routine is exited. And when the state of the heating module, the ambient temperature sensor and the ice-full temperature sensor meet certain conditions, determining that the ice is in a real full state. If the condition is not met initially, waiting for a certain time, and detecting whether the condition is met. It is possible to check N times to determine if the ice is really full. And when the condition is not met after N times of detection, the ice-full fault is determined. The condition detection is performed in a state where ice is not discharged, that is, ice is fully closed.

Therefore, a reliable control scheme for detecting the ice fullness is provided, whether the heating module has influence on the ice storage is judged and displayed through the ice fullness, the ice fullness is confirmed under the state that the ice is not discharged, whether the ice is really full is confirmed, and the problem of inaccurate full ice detection is solved.

Fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart of ice-full condition determination according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 3, the control flow may include:

step 301: judging whether heating is performed, if so, executing step 302; if not, go to step 307;

step 302: judging whether the ambient temperature is less than T1, if so, executing step 303; if not, go to step 305;

step 303: judging whether the full ice temperature is less than T2, if so, executing step 312; if not, go to step 304;

step 304: judging whether the full ice temperature is greater than T3, if so, executing step 313; if not, ending the whole judgment process;

step 305: judging whether the full ice temperature is less than T4, if so, executing step 312; if not, go to step 306;

step 306: judging whether the full ice temperature is greater than T5, if so, executing step 313; if not, ending the whole judgment process;

step 307: judging whether the ambient temperature is less than T6, if so, executing step 308; if not, go to step 310;

step 308: judging whether the full ice temperature is less than T7, if so, executing step 312; if not, go to step 309;

step 309: judging whether the full ice temperature is greater than T8, if so, executing step 313; if not, ending the whole judgment process;

step 310: judging whether the full ice temperature is less than T9, if so, executing step 312; if not, go to step 311;

step 311: judging whether the full ice temperature is greater than T10, if so, executing step 313; if not, ending the whole judgment process;

step 312: judging that the ice fullness judgment condition is met, and then finishing the whole judgment process;

step 313: judging that the full ice judgment condition is not met, and then finishing the whole judgment process.

As can be seen, the ice-fullness judging condition is divided into two cases of heating and non-heating.

Specifically, when the ambient temperature sensor is lower than the temperature T1 during heating, the ice-full state is detected when the ice-full state temperature sensor is lower than the temperature T2, and the ice-full state is detected when the temperature is higher than T3. When the ambient temperature sensor is at a temperature of T1 or higher during heating, the ice-full state is determined when the temperature of the ice-full state sensor is lower than T4, and the ice-full state is determined when the temperature of the ice-full state sensor is higher than T5. When the ambient temperature sensor of the module is not heated or is not heated and is lower than the temperature T6, the ice full state is judged when the ice full state temperature sensor is lower than the temperature T7, and the ice full state is judged when the temperature is higher than the temperature T8. When the ambient temperature sensor of the module is not heated or is not heated and is equal to or higher than the temperature T6, the ice full state is judged when the ice full state temperature sensor is lower than the temperature T9, and the ice full state is judged when the temperature is higher than the temperature T10.
