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

step 101: when the occurrence of a full ice fault is detected, the ice pieces are stirred.

The ice-full error means that at least one ice block in the ice storage chamber partially or completely exceeds an ice-full line. Here, the full ice line may be understood as a full ice error warning line.

Here, the ice full line may be set or adjusted according to a user use requirement or a manufacturer design requirement.

Here, the purpose of stirring the ice cubes is to verify whether the current ice-full error is real or false.

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 ice blocks are stirred, the upper side is easy to melt, and the lower side is not easy to melt in the research and development process. This results in the lower, relatively complete ice cubes being stirred to the upper side, which may change from an imaginary ice-full state before stirring to an actual non-ice-full state after stirring.

Step 102: and detecting whether the full ice error still exists after stirring for a preset time threshold or a preset number of turns threshold.

Here, the preset time threshold or the preset lap threshold may be set or adjusted according to user requirements or manufacturer design requirements.

For example, the preset time threshold is set to T, and the preset number of turns threshold is set to n.

In some optional embodiments, the detecting whether there is still an ice full error after the stirring preset time threshold or the preset number of turns threshold includes:

closing the ice door after a preset time threshold value or a preset number of turns of stirring is carried out each time;

after the ice door is closed, detection is continued to determine whether there is still a full ice error.

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.

Step 103: if the ice-full fault exists after N times of detection, alarm information is output; wherein N is a positive integer.

Here, N may be set or adjusted according to user usage requirements or manufacturer design requirements.

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 the embodiment of the present invention, if there is an ice-full error after detecting N times, 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 full ice error is cleared.

Thus, the ice cubes in the ice storage chamber are reduced due to the detection of the ice discharge operation, and the warning of the ice full error is temporarily released.

According to the ice-full error processing method, when the ice-full error is detected, the ice blocks are stirred; detecting whether the full ice error still exists after stirring for a preset time threshold or a preset number of turns threshold; if the ice-full fault exists after N times of detection, alarm information is output; wherein N is a positive integer; thus, a processing scheme is given when a full ice error occurs. In addition, when the full ice fault is detected, the ice blocks are stirred firstly and are detected for N times, but the problem that the false alarm is possible to occur because alarm information is directly output when the full ice fault is detected is solved.

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

step 201: judging whether a full ice error is detected, if so, executing step 202; if not, ending the whole process;

step 202: judging whether ice is produced or not, if not, executing step 203; if yes, go to step 209;

here, the judgment of whether ice is produced may be understood as a judgment of whether an ice producing operation is detected.

Step 203: judging whether the accumulated stirring times is less than N, if so, executing step 204; if not, go to step 210;

here, N is a preset positive integer value.

Step 204: judging whether the stirring is finished or not, if so, executing the step 205; if not, ending the whole process;

step 205: performing an ice door closing operation, and then performing step 206;

step 206: judging whether the closing of the ice door is finished, if so, executing step 207; if not, ending the whole process;

step 207: adding 1 to the stirring times, and then executing the step 208;

step 208: detecting full ice again, and then finishing the whole process;

step 209: clearing the full ice, and then finishing the whole process;

step 210: and closing the ice making function, outputting alarm information and finishing the whole process.

The technical scheme provides a reliable control scheme of full ice errors, the state of full ice is judged by changing the shape of ice, the full ice errors are confirmed by controlling the stirring times, and the full ice errors are cleared by discharging ice, so that a user can conveniently solve the full ice error alarm.
