According to an embodiment of a first aspect of the present invention, a method for controlling an ice making machine is provided.
It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present invention only takes the pipeline of the ice maker in the refrigerator as an example, and the pipeline anti-clogging control method is described. Without loss of generality, the control method of the ice maker in the embodiment of the invention is also suitable for products such as an ice bin, a separate ice maker and the like.
Referring to fig. 1, a method for controlling an ice maker according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:
s1, controlling a heating element of a pipeline of the ice maker to work according to a preset mode based on the starting signal of the ice maker;
s2, detecting whether the ice storage container is full of ice based on the ice-shedding signal:
s21, the ice storage container is full of ice, and the heating element is controlled to stop working;
and S22, controlling the heating parts to maintain the work when the ice storage container is not full of ice.
It should be noted that, steps S1 and S2, including steps S21 and S22, are only for convenience of further description of each step, and do not limit the order of each step.
According to the control method of the ice maker, the heating element is controlled to work based on the starting signal of the ice maker, the heating element is prevented from being started under the condition that ice making is not needed, and energy consumption is saved. And the control method of the ice maker also comprises the step of detecting whether the ice storage container is full of ice, and the heating element is controlled to stop working under the condition that the ice storage container is detected to be full of ice, so that the waste of energy consumption can be further avoided.
Corresponding to step S1, the control device of the ice maker may be connected to the ice maker first. Furthermore, the control device of the ice maker can acquire the starting signal of the ice maker and control the heating element to work in a preset mode based on the starting signal of the ice maker. The fact that the start signal of the ice maker is acquired means that the ice maker is ready to perform ice making work, or the ice maker starts performing ice making work.
The control device of the ice maker can be arranged in the ice maker or a product with the ice maker. For example, an ice maker may be provided in a refrigerator, and a control device of the ice maker may also be provided in the refrigerator having the ice maker.
In addition, the pipeline of the ice maker is more referred to as a water inlet pipe. Because the inlet tube corresponds the setting in the top of making ice parts, in case the inlet tube blocks up, will lead to the ice machine can't continuously make ice, influence the normal work of ice machine. Of course, besides, the pipeline of the ice maker may also refer to other pipelines which are easily blocked due to icing, such as an ice outlet pipe of the ice maker, a pipeline in a dispenser of the ice maker, and the like, which are not examples here. Wherein, for the inlet tube, generally twine the heater strip outside the inlet tube, heat the inlet tube through the heater strip, solve the problem that the inlet tube blockked up, the heater strip is the heating member mentioned above also. Of course, the heating element can also adopt any structural form disclosed in the prior art, and the specific installation mode is not limited as long as the requirement of heating the pipeline is met. For example, the heating member may be an infrared heater provided at the ice outlet, or may be a heating rod provided at the dispenser, or the like.
Also, the ice storage container is referred to as an ice bank, but may be an ice bank, an ice bank box, or the like.
In one embodiment, the predetermined manner of operation of the heating element includes a plurality of conditions. For example, the heating element can be always opened when the ice maker is started, so that the pipeline in the ice maker can be ensured not to be blocked all the time. For another example, the heating element may be turned on and off according to a set period, and then the heating element may not operate continuously but operate intermittently, wherein the set period may be set based on various environmental factors, and energy consumption may be further saved while ensuring normal operation of the ice maker.
Generally, after an ice maker is started, the ice maker enters a freezing stage, at this time, if water or an ice-water mixture is reserved in an ice making component before, the water in the ice making component in the freezing stage is cooled to become ice blocks, and after the freezing stage is finished, the ice making component is de-iced. In the embodiment of the present invention, the ice making unit is generally referred to as an ice cube tray, but any type of ice making unit that has been disclosed in the prior art is included in the present invention.
It should be noted that after the ice maker is shifted from the stop state to the start state, the water inlet pipe is not opened in the first freezing stage. At this time, if water exists in the ice cube tray, the first freezing stage firstly makes ice for the residual water, and after the first freezing stage is completed, the water inlet pipe is opened. Of course, after the ice maker is shifted from the deactivated state to the activated state, the water inlet pipe may be opened before or during the first freezing stage.
Corresponding to step S2, the control device of the ice maker acquires an ice shedding signal of the ice making part and detects the state of the ice storage container based on the ice shedding signal. As ice cubes are generated and fall into the ice storage container, the ice storage container has two states of being full of ice or not full of ice. In the case where the ice storage container is full of ice, even if ice is continuously made at this time, the ice pieces cannot be discharged into the ice storage container. Therefore, in the case of detecting that the ice storage container is full of ice, whether the pipeline of the ice maker is blocked or not does not have a substantial influence on the ice maker. At this time, if the heating member of the pipeline is still working, it can be regarded as a waste of energy consumption, and therefore the heating member can be controlled to stop working. When the ice storage container is detected not to be full of ice, the ice maker needs to continue to make ice, and the pipeline is correspondingly kept open, so that the heating element needs to be kept in a working state to avoid the pipeline from being blocked.
It should be noted that, in the working process of the ice maker, except for the first period, there may not be a water inlet process, and in other periods, there may be steps of water inlet, freezing, ice shedding, and the like, and it is likely that in one ice shedding process, the ice shedding is not completely completed, and at this time, the ice storage container is full of ice. Then, according to the operation mode of the ice maker, the ice cubes are not continuously filled into the ice storage container at this time.
For the ice machine, if the first freeze phase is over and the ice making unit bottom sensor measures a temperature below-12 ℃, the ice machine completes de-icing. Among them, there are various ways of deicing based on the difference of the ice making part. For example, the ice can be removed by turning over, by twisting, or by heating. The method of detecting ice shedding may be different based on different ice shedding modes, and the form of the ice shedding signal acquired by the control device of the ice maker may also be different.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the control method of the ice maker further comprises:
and S01, disconnecting the water inlet pipe of the ice maker based on the starting signal of the ice maker.
If the water inlet pipe is disconnected in the first freezing stage after the ice making program of the ice maker does not require the ice maker to be changed from the stop state to the start state, the control device of the ice maker can forcibly disconnect the water inlet pipe at the moment. Wherein, the disconnection refers to the situation that water in the water inlet pipe cannot flow. For example, the control device of the ice maker can control the water inlet pipe to be switched between the two states of 'off' and 'on' by controlling the switch valve.
That is, after the ice maker is started, during and before the first freezing stage, the control device of the ice maker disconnects the water inlet pipe, so that the ice maker makes ice for the residual water in the first freezing stage. Of course, it is not necessarily operated to disconnect the water inlet pipe of the ice maker after the activation signal of the ice maker is acquired.
Wherein, the inlet tube of the ice maker is disconnected, so that more water can be prevented from entering the inlet tube to be further blocked under the condition that the inlet tube is blocked.
Further, when the control device of the ice maker disconnects the water inlet pipe of the ice maker based on the start signal of the ice maker, the water inlet pipe needs to be conducted at a proper time in the subsequent process. Specifically, when it is detected that the ice making unit has finished ice shedding, that is, based on the ice shedding completion signal, the control device of the ice maker turns on the pipeline of the ice maker.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, step S1 includes:
generating a set period of heating element opening and closing based on the ambient temperature and/or ambient humidity;
and controlling the heating element to be switched on and off according to a set period.
When the ambient temperature is higher, the period of turning on the corresponding heating element may be shorter, and the period of turning off the heating element may be longer. On the contrary, if the ambient temperature is low, the period of time required for the heating element to be turned on is longer, and the period of time required for the heating element to be turned off is shorter. When the environment humidity is higher, the corresponding heating element is opened for a longer period, and the heating element is closed for a shorter period; on the contrary, if the ambient humidity is low, the period of the heating element opening is short, and the period of the heating element closing is long.
For example, the time period for each time the heating element is turned on in the set period may be selected to be 60S (seconds), and the time period for each turn-off may be selected to be 60S.
On this basis, step S22 includes:
and controlling the heating parts to be opened and closed according to a set period when the ice storage container is not full of ice.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, after step S22, the method further includes:
and controlling the heating element to stop working based on the stop signal of the ice maker.
It is not important whether the pipeline of the ice maker is conducted or not at this time as long as the ice maker stops making ice, and in this case, if the heating element is in an operating state, it can be also considered that there is a waste of energy consumption. Therefore, the control device of the ice maker can control the heating element to stop working as long as the control device acquires the stop signal of the ice maker, and the aim of saving energy is fulfilled.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, after step S1, the method further includes:
and controlling a heating element of a pipeline of the ice maker to work according to a preset mode based on the ice storage container full ice removing signal.
In the ice making process of the ice maker, once the ice cubes in the ice storage container are taken out, the state of the ice storage container may be changed from a full ice state to a non-full ice state. In response to the state transition, the control device of the ice maker obtains a release signal that the ice storage container is full of ice, at which time the heating member needs to be operated again. Correspondingly, the control device of the ice maker controls the heating element to work according to a preset mode.
It is to be noted that the heating elements of the duct controlling the ice maker in the step S1 are operated in a predetermined manner, and the heating elements are controlled to be maintained in operation in the step S22, and the operation modes of the heating elements are not required to be identical. For example, it is also possible to control the heating elements to continue to operate until the set time is reached, or until other determination conditions are satisfied, in step S1; in S22, it is possible to appropriately shorten the time period during which the heating elements are turned on and appropriately lengthen the time period during which the heating elements are turned off, although the heating elements are still in the operating state. Of course, the heating elements of the duct controlling the ice maker in step S1 are operated in a predetermined manner, and the heating elements are controlled to be maintained in operation in step S22, and the operation modes of the heating elements may be the same, for example, all operated in a set period generated based on the ambient temperature and/or the ambient humidity.
