In addition, the terms "first" and "second", etc. are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a particular order.

For example, a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not limited to only those steps or elements listed, but may alternatively include other steps or elements not listed, or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
The embodiment of the application provides an ice making control method, an electronic device and a computer readable medium, which are exemplarily described below with reference to the embodiment and the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, which shows a flowchart of an ice making control method provided in some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 1, the ice making control method may include the steps of:
step S101: and calculating the ice taking amount in unit time according to the ice taking record of the ice machine.
In some conventional configurations, the ice maker may include a water storage tank, a water inlet device, an ice making cell, an ice detecting device, an ice storage box, and other components, where the water storage tank is used to store water, the water inlet device is used to adjust water from the water storage tank into the ice making cell, and after the ice maker starts an ice making function, the ice maker may transport cold air to the ice making cell through a cold air transport pipe to freeze water in the ice making cell, so that the water is gradually converted into ice cubes, and then the ice cubes in the ice making cell are poured into the ice storage box by performing an ice turning operation on the ice making cell, where a primary ice making amount of the ice making cell is smaller than a capacity of the ice storage box, and therefore, the ice storage box may be fully stored by performing multiple ice making and turning operations, and the ice detecting device may detect an ice amount of ice in the ice storage box by using a mode of detecting infrared rays, detecting rods, weighing, detecting ice, and the like.
In this step, the ice fetching operation of the user can be detected by detecting the opening and closing action of the ice storage box, the ice fetching amount of the user is calculated according to the reduction amount of the ice storage amount in the ice storage box before and after the ice fetching, and then the ice fetching record is generated according to the ice fetching amount and the ice fetching time information. The ice fetching record can be used for calculating the ice fetching amount of the user in unit time.
Step S102: and comparing the ice taking amount per unit time with the standard ice making efficiency of the ice making machine.
The standard ice making efficiency may be an ice making efficiency of the ice maker in a normal (or default) working state, and may be calculated by an ice making amount per unit time in the normal working state.
Step S103: and according to the comparison result, selecting an ice making mode matched with the comparison result, wherein at least one of the target ice making quantity, the ice making interval or the target ice making efficiency is different corresponding to different ice making modes.
The target ice-making amount may be a target amount of ice-making, that is, an ice storage amount in the ice storage box after the ice-making is completed, and the ice-making is stopped when the ice storage amount in the ice storage box reaches the target ice-making amount. The target ice-making amount may be determined with reference to a capacity of an ice bank, such as 1/2, 2/3, etc., of the capacity of the ice bank.
It is easy to understand that, the lower the target ice making amount is, the less the ice storing amount in the ice storage box is, the less the electric energy consumed by ice making is, as long as the ice storing amount can meet the ice using requirement of a user, the ice blocks in the ice storage box can be taken away by all or most of the user with a higher probability, thereby reducing the residual ice in the ice storage box after the ice is taken, avoiding the problems of difficulty in taking the ice and water resource waste caused by the residual ice agglomeration, and simultaneously, the ice using requirement of the user can be met by using less energy consumption, and the energy consumption waste is reduced on the whole.
The ice making interval may refer to a time interval between two adjacent ice making of the ice making cells.
It is easy to understand that, the longer the ice making interval is, the lower the overall ice making efficiency is, the fewer the times of storing ice into the ice storage box is, the lower the acceleration rate of the ice storage quantity in the ice storage box is, the greater the probability that ice cubes in the ice storage box are taken away by all or most of users can be realized, so that the residual ice in the ice storage box after the ice is taken is reduced, and the problems of difficulty in taking ice and water resource waste caused by residual ice agglomeration are solved.
The target ice making efficiency may be an actual target efficiency for controlling the ice making machine to make ice, and may be measured by a target ice making amount in a unit time, or may be measured by parameters such as an ice making machine power, and the like.
It is easy to understand that, the lower the target ice making efficiency is, the lower the actual ice making efficiency of the ice making machine controlled according to the target ice making efficiency is, the fewer the times of storing ice into the ice storage box is, the lower the acceleration of the amount of stored ice in the ice storage box is, and the greater the probability that ice cubes in the ice storage box are all or mostly taken away by users is, so that the remaining ice in the ice storage box after the ice is taken is reduced, and the problems of difficulty in taking ice and water resource waste caused by the agglomeration of the remaining ice are avoided.
It should be noted that, the target ice making amount is not as small as possible, the ice making interval is not as long as possible, the target ice making efficiency is also not as low as possible, the target ice making amount is too small, the ice making interval is too long, and the target ice making efficiency is too low, which may cause the situation that the ice storage amount in the ice storage box is not enough, therefore, the target ice making amount, the ice making interval, or the target ice making efficiency should be reasonably set according to the ice using requirement of the user, for example, the target ice making amount, the ice making interval, or the target ice making efficiency may be determined according to the parameters such as the ice taking amount per unit time and the standard ice making efficiency of the ice making machine.
Step S104: and controlling the ice maker to make ice according to the ice making mode.
Compared with the prior art, the ice making control method provided by the embodiment of the application calculates the ice taking amount per unit time according to the ice taking record of the ice making machine, compares the ice taking amount per unit time with the standard ice making efficiency of the ice making machine, and selects the ice making mode matched with the comparison result according to the comparison result, wherein at least one of the target ice making amount, the ice making interval or the target ice making efficiency corresponding to different ice making modes is different, and controls the ice making machine to make ice according to the ice making mode, and because the ice taking amount per unit time can accurately reflect the ice using amount of a user, the method can associate the ice making process with the ice using amount of the user, make ice according to the ice using amount of the user, and simultaneously, the ice making program is subjected to patterning processing to form the ice making mode, so that ice can be made according to different ice using amounts, the ice making machine has the advantages of being simple and controllable, convenient, fast, efficient and the like, and because the target ice making quantity, the ice making interval or the target ice making efficiency corresponding to different ice making modes are different, when the ice using quantity of a user is low, the ice making mode with the small target ice making quantity, the long ice making interval and the low target ice making efficiency can be automatically selected to make ice, so that ice blocks made according to the ice making modes can better meet the use requirements of the user, the electric energy waste caused by incomplete ice block consumption is reduced, and the problems of difficult ice taking and water resource waste caused by residual ice block agglomeration are avoided.
In some modifications of the embodiments of the present application, before calculating the ice-fetching amount per unit time according to the ice-fetching record of the ice maker in step S101, the method may further include:
after the ice picking operation of the user is detected every time, adding the ice picking amount and time information of the ice picking operation into an ice picking record; the time information comprises the ice-taking time and/or the interval duration between the ice-taking operation and the last ice-taking operation.
For example, the ice fetching operation of the user can be detected by detecting the opening and closing action of the ice storage box, the ice fetching amount of the user is calculated according to the reduction amount of the ice storage amount in the ice storage box before and after the ice fetching, and then the ice fetching amount and the time information of each ice fetching operation are added into the ice fetching record.
By the embodiment, the ice taking information of the user can be recorded, the historical ice taking record can be formed, and the ice taking amount of the user in unit time can be conveniently and quickly calculated according to the historical ice taking record in the follow-up process.
In addition to the above embodiments, in some modified embodiments, the calculating an ice harvesting amount per unit time based on an ice harvesting record of the ice maker may include:
calculating the total ice-taking amount and the total interval duration corresponding to the ice-taking operation of the latest specified times according to the ice-taking record;
and calculating the ratio of the total ice taking amount to the total interval duration, and determining the ratio as the ice taking amount in unit time.
The designated times may be 2 times, 3 times, and the like, and those skilled in the art may flexibly set according to actual needs, or set selectable items for users to autonomously set according to their own needs.
For example, after each ice picking operation of the user is detected, the ice picking amount of this time and the interval duration from the last ice picking operation are recorded, then after the N +1 th ice picking operation, the ice picking amount a1 of this time and the interval duration t1 from the last ice picking operation are recorded, after the N +2 th ice picking operation, the ice picking amount a2 of this time and the interval duration t2 from the last ice picking operation are recorded, if the specified number of times is 2, after the N +2 th ice picking operation, the total ice picking amount (a1+ a2) and the total interval duration (t1+ t2) of the latest 2 ice picking operations (N +1 th and N +2 th times) are calculated, and then the ratio is calculated to obtain the ice picking amount per unit time (a1+ a2 t)/(1 + t 2).
In the embodiment, by calculating the total ice-taking amount and the total interval duration corresponding to the last specified times of ice-taking operations and calculating the ice-taking amount per unit time, the ice-taking amount per unit time obtained by calculation can be ensured to reflect the ice-using requirements of the user, such as the ice-using amount, more accurately, the ice-making mode determined according to the ice-taking amount per unit time can be ensured, and the ice-taking amount more conforming to the ice-using requirements of the user can be obtained.
In addition, in the embodiment, the ice-taking amount per unit time can be calculated only according to the ice-taking record of the ice-taking operation of the most recently specified times, so that the calculated ice-taking amount per unit time can also timely and accurately reflect the change trend of the ice-taking amount of the user, and since the step S101 is triggered to recalculate the ice-taking amount per unit time and select the ice-making mode after each ice-taking operation is detected, the ice-making mode can be timely adjusted according to the change trend of the ice-taking amount, so that energy conservation and consumption reduction can be better ensured under the condition that the ice-taking requirement of the user is met.
In some modifications of the embodiments of the present application, before comparing the ice-harvesting amount per unit time with a standard ice-making efficiency of the ice-making machine, the method may further include:
and according to the current environment temperature, reading the standard ice making efficiency of the ice machine corresponding to the current environment temperature from a locally stored database or data table.
The standard ice making efficiency is related to the ambient temperature, so that a manufacturer or a research and development worker can determine the standard ice making efficiency of the ice making machine under different ambient temperatures through experiments, prestore the corresponding information of the ambient temperature and the standard ice making efficiency into a database or a data table of the ice making machine or the refrigerator, and read the standard ice making efficiency of the ice making machine corresponding to the current ambient temperature according to the current ambient temperature when needed.
Through the embodiment, the standard ice making efficiency more suitable for the current environment temperature can be inquired, and the found standard ice making efficiency and the ice taking amount in unit time are calculated, so that the proper ice making mode can be more accurately selected for making ice, and the ice using requirement of a user can be more met.
In some modifications of the embodiments of the present application, the selecting an ice making mode matching the comparison result according to the comparison result may include:
according to the comparison result, selecting an ice making mode matched with the comparison result from a preset ice making mode mapping table; wherein, the ice making mode mapping table records ice making modes corresponding to different comparison results.
In the embodiment, a person skilled in the art can reasonably set parameters corresponding to the ice making modes under different comparison results through technologies such as experiments, sample user data analysis, big data analysis and the like, and write the different comparison results and corresponding information of the different ice making modes into the ice making mode mapping table to be stored in the ice making machine or the refrigerator.
In step S102, the ice amount taken per unit time is compared with the standard ice making efficiency of the ice making machine, which may be a quantitative comparison or a qualitative comparison, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto. For example, if qualitative comparison is adopted, the comparison result may be "greater than", "less than", and the like, and a corresponding ice making mode may be selected according to the comparison result to perform ice making control, for example, if the ice taking amount per unit time is less than the standard ice making efficiency of the ice making machine, if ice is made according to the standard ice making efficiency, excessive ice making is inevitably caused, and energy consumption is wasted, and therefore, an ice making mode with a small target ice making amount, a long ice making interval, or a low target ice making efficiency may be selected to perform ice making to meet the ice using requirement of a user; on the contrary, if the ice-taking amount per unit time is greater than the standard ice-making efficiency of the ice-making machine, if ice is made according to the standard ice-making efficiency, the situation that the made ice blocks are not enough may be caused, and therefore, an ice-making mode with a large target ice-making amount, a short ice-making interval or a high target ice-making efficiency may be selected to make ice so as to meet the ice-using requirements of users.
In addition, if quantitative comparison is adopted, more ice making modes can be set according to the quantitative comparison result, so that ice making is controlled in a finer granularity, and the ice making modes are more in line with the ice using requirements of users. For example, in some modifications of the embodiments of the present application, the comparing the amount of ice collected per unit time with a standard ice making efficiency of the ice maker may include:
calculating a comparison value between the ice-taking amount per unit time and the standard ice-making efficiency of the ice-making machine, and determining the comparison value as a comparison result; wherein the comparison value comprises a difference or a ratio.
Through the embodiment, the quantitative comparison between the ice taking amount per unit time and the standard ice making efficiency of the ice maker can be carried out, so that the ice making mode with higher fineness is matched for making ice according to the quantitative comparison result, and further, the energy consumption is reduced while the requirement of a user for using the ice is met to a greater extent.
In addition to the above embodiments, in some modified embodiments, the target ice-making amount in the ice-making mode is positively correlated with the comparison value; alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,
the ice making intervals in different ice making modes are inversely related to the comparison value; alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,
the target ice making efficiency in the different ice making modes is positively correlated with the comparison value.
It is easy to understand that if the comparison value is higher, which indicates that the user has a greater ice demand, an ice making mode with a greater target ice making amount, a shorter ice making interval, or a higher target ice making efficiency should be selected for making ice; if the comparison value is lower, it indicates that the user needs less ice, and an ice making mode with a smaller target ice making amount, a longer ice making interval, or a lower target ice making efficiency should be selected for making ice. Therefore, in the different ice making modes, the target ice making amount and the target ice making efficiency should be positively correlated with the comparison value, and the ice making interval should be negatively correlated with the comparison value.
Through the embodiment, the ice making mode selected according to the comparison value can be further ensured, and the energy consumption can be reduced while the ice using requirement of a user is met to a greater extent.
In other embodiments, in the case where the comparison value is less than a preset comparison threshold value, the ice making mode is selected in which the target ice making amount is less than an ice bank capacity, the ice making interval is greater than a standard ice making interval, or the target ice making efficiency is less than a standard ice making efficiency.
Wherein the standard ice making interval may refer to an ice making interval of the ice maker in a normal (or default) operation mode.
Through this embodiment, can ensure, with the not big condition of ice demand of user, make less ice-cube, reduce the efficiency of storing ice to in the ice storage box, or reduce the growth rate of the ice storage volume in the ice storage box to reduce the energy consumption on the basis of satisfying with the ice demand of user.
It is easily understood that on the basis of the above embodiments, in some modified embodiments, in the case that the comparison value is a difference value, the preset comparison threshold value is less than 0 or equal to 0; alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,
in the case where the comparison value is a ratio, the preset comparison threshold is less than 1 or equal to 1.
In the embodiment, examples of the preset comparison threshold corresponding to different comparison modes are given, and smooth and accurate embodiments of the embodiment of the present application can be ensured through quantitative comparison.
In some variations of the embodiments of the present application, different ones of the ice-making patterns correspond to different comparison value intervals;
the selecting of the ice making mode matching the comparison result according to the comparison result may include:
determining a comparison value interval containing the comparison value according to the comparison value obtained by calculation;
and taking the ice making mode corresponding to the determined comparison value interval as the ice making mode matched with the comparison value.
In the embodiment, different ice making modes can correspond to different comparison value intervals, so that a plurality of corresponding ice making modes are determined according to the comparison value intervals, and when the ice making device is used, the matched ice making modes can be further determined only by comparing the comparison value with the preset comparison value interval, so that the ice making device has the advantages of simplicity, easiness, high implementation efficiency and the like.
In this embodiment, when the ice making pattern mapping table is implemented in combination with the embodiment regarding the ice making pattern mapping table, for example, the ice making pattern mapping table may be generated according to a correspondence relationship between a comparison value section and an ice making pattern and stored in an ice maker or a refrigerator, so that, when the ice making pattern mapping table is used, the comparison value calculated may be matched to the comparison value section including the comparison value from the ice making pattern mapping table, and then the ice making pattern corresponding to the comparison value section is selected as the ice making pattern matched to the comparison value.
For example, the ice making pattern mapping table may be as shown in table 1 below, in which Q represents an amount of ice taken per unit time, M represents a standard ice making efficiency, "+" represents a multiplication number, and "/" represents a ratio.
TABLE 1
In some variations of the embodiments of the present application, the method may further include:
calculating the idle time of an ice storage box according to the ice taking record of the ice maker;
and under the condition that the idle time length exceeds a preset idle time length threshold value, stopping ice making or sending prompt information for reminding a user to close an ice making function.
The idle duration threshold may be flexibly set according to an actual situation, for example, 24 hours, 72 hours, or a selectable option is set to be autonomously input by a user according to a requirement of the user, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
According to the embodiment, under the condition that the idle time of the ice storage box is detected to exceed the preset idle time threshold, the fact that the user does not take ice for a long time can be judged, and then the ice using requirement is judged to be very low, so that ice making can be stopped, or the user is reminded to close the ice making function, and therefore the purposes of saving energy and reducing consumption are achieved.
