The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and intended to be illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
An ice making control method of a water dispenser, an ice making control device of a water dispenser and a water dispenser according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of an ice making control method of a water dispenser according to an embodiment of the present invention. The water dispenser includes a cold water tank and an ice making module, and ice is made by the ice making module by supplying cold water of the cold water tank to the ice making module.
As shown in fig. 1, the ice making control method of the water dispenser includes the following steps:
s101: acquiring preset ice making time and preset ice making temperature of the water dispenser;
according to one embodiment of the invention, the preset ice making time and the preset ice making temperature of the water dispenser can be obtained according to the external environment temperature of the water dispenser.
Specifically, a relation table of the external environment temperature and the ice making time and a relation table of the external environment temperature and the ice making temperature can be prestored in the water dispenser. When the ice making module of the water dispenser starts to make ice, the external environment temperature of the water dispenser can be detected through the environment temperature sensor, preset ice making time is obtained by comparing the relation table of the external environment temperature and the ice making time, and preset ice making temperature is obtained by comparing the relation table of the external environment temperature and the ice making temperature, wherein the obtained preset ice making time can be ice making maximum time T1, and the obtained preset ice making temperature can be ice making minimum temperature TP 1.
In particular, the ambient temperature sensor may be disposed outside the housing of the water dispenser.
S102: detecting the ice making temperature in the ice making module and the cold water temperature in the cold water tank in the process of making ice through the ice making module;
wherein, the cold water pump in the accessible water pump with the cold water tank sends to refrigeration module to make refrigeration module refrigerate cold water in order to form the ice-cube. In particular, the refrigeration module and the water pump may be disposed within the cold water tank.
According to an embodiment of the invention, before ice making is performed by the ice making module, the temperature of cold water in the cold water tank is detected, if the temperature of the cold water is less than or equal to a preset temperature, the ice making module is controlled to make ice, and if the temperature of the cold water is greater than the preset temperature, the cold water in the cold water tank is continuously refrigerated until the temperature of the cold water is reduced to the preset temperature.
The ice making temperature sensor can be used for detecting the ice making temperature in the ice making module, and the cold water temperature sensor can be used for detecting the temperature of cold water in the cold water tank, wherein the ice making temperature sensor can be arranged in the ice making module, and the cold water temperature sensor can be arranged in the cold water tank.
S103: timing the accumulated ice making time of the water dispenser according to the temperature of cold water in the cold water tank;
according to one embodiment of the present invention, timing the accumulated ice making time of the water dispenser according to the temperature of cold water in a cold water tank includes:
judging whether the temperature of the cold water in the cold water tank is smaller than a second temperature threshold value;
and if the temperature of the cold water in the cold water tank is less than the second temperature threshold value, increasing the accumulated ice making time of the water dispenser.
That is, in the process of making ice by the ice making module, the temperature of the cold water in the cold water tank may be detected in real time, and when the temperature of the cold water in the cold water tank is less than the second temperature threshold TP2, the ice making time is increased, and when the temperature of the cold water in the cold water tank is greater than or equal to the second temperature threshold TP2, the ice making time is maintained, that is, the ice making time is not increased. In other words, the ice making time is increased when the cold water temperature is less than the second temperature threshold.
S104: judging whether the accumulated ice making time of the water dispenser reaches the preset ice making time and whether the ice making temperature in the ice making module is lower than the preset ice making temperature;
s105: and if the accumulated ice making time of the water dispenser reaches the preset ice making time or the ice making temperature in the ice making module is lower than the preset ice making temperature, controlling the ice making module to stop making ice and controlling the ice making module to de-ice.
That is, the ice making time of the water dispenser can be recorded accumulatively, and when the accumulated ice making time reaches the preset ice making time, the ice making is judged to be finished, and the ice making module can be controlled to stop making ice and perform ice removal. And in the ice making process, the ice making temperature in the ice making module can be detected in real time, and when the accumulated ice making time is less than the preset ice making time and the ice making temperature in the ice making module is less than the preset ice making temperature, the ice making is judged to be finished, and the ice making module can be controlled to stop making ice and perform ice removal.
Therefore, the ice making control method of the water dispenser provided by the embodiment of the invention detects the completion condition of ice making by adopting the ice making time, the temperature of cold water and the ice making temperature, so that whether the ice making is completed or not can be accurately detected, the ice blocks are ensured to be beautiful and not to be damaged, the size consistency of the ice blocks is ensured, and the user experience is improved.
Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the ice making control method of the water dispenser further includes:
judging whether the temperature of cold water in the cold water tank is greater than a first temperature threshold value or not;
and if the temperature of the cold water in the cold water tank is greater than the first temperature threshold value, controlling the ice making module to stop making ice and controlling the water dispenser to refrigerate the cold water in the cold water tank.
Wherein the first temperature threshold may be greater than the second temperature threshold.
That is to say, in the ice making process, when the accumulated ice making time is less than the preset ice making time, if the temperature of the cold water in the cold water tank is judged to be greater than the first temperature threshold TP3, the ice making module is controlled to stop making ice, ice making is finished, and the water dispenser is controlled to refrigerate the cold water in the cold water tank, so that the ice making is prevented from being influenced by the overhigh temperature of the cold water.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the ice making control method of the water dispenser according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
s201: it is determined whether the ice making module starts making ice.
If yes, go to step S202; if not, the current flow is ended.
S202: and determining a preset ice making time, namely ice making maximum time T1, and a preset ice making temperature, namely ice making minimum temperature TP1 according to the external environment temperature of the water dispenser.
S203: and detecting the temperature of the cold water in the cold water tank, and judging whether the temperature of the cold water in the cold water tank is less than a second temperature threshold TP 2.
If yes, executing step S204; if not, step S205 is performed.
S204: the accumulated ice making time of the water dispenser is increased.
S205: and judging whether the accumulated ice making time of the water dispenser reaches the preset ice making time T1.
If so, go to step S209; if not, step S206 is performed.
S206: and (4) judging whether the ice making temperature in the ice making module is lower than the preset ice making temperature, namely TP 1.
If so, go to step S209; if not, step S207 is performed.
S207: and judging whether the temperature of the cold water in the cold water tank is greater than a first temperature threshold TP 3.
If yes, go to step S208; if not, return to step S203.
S208: and after ice making is finished, controlling the ice making module to stop making ice and controlling the water dispenser to refrigerate cold water in the cold water tank.
S209: and after the ice making is finished, controlling the ice making module to stop making ice and perform ice removal.
Further, in some embodiments of the present invention, when ice is made by the ice making module, the water outlet state of the water dispenser can also be obtained; when the water dispenser discharges cold water every time, the current cold water discharging time of the water dispenser is recorded, and the preset ice making time is compensated according to the current cold water discharging time of the water dispenser and a preset compensation coefficient. Specifically, the compensating for the preset ice making time includes: the product of the preset compensation coefficient and the current cold water outlet time of the water dispenser is increased on the basis of the current preset ice making time, so that the ice making required time is compensated, the normal operation of ice making and the consistency of ice blocks during cold water outlet are ensured, and the normal operation of both the cold water outlet function and the ice making function is further ensured.
Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, when the water dispenser discharges cold water each time, the time of accumulating cold water by the water dispenser is further recorded, and whether the time of accumulating cold water by the water dispenser is greater than or equal to a preset time is determined, wherein if the time of accumulating cold water by the water dispenser is greater than or equal to the preset time, the ice making module is controlled to stop making ice, and water replenishing control is performed on the cold water tank.
That is to say, if the time of accumulating the cold water by the water dispenser is greater than or equal to the preset time, the cold water amount is over large, the ice making module is controlled to stop making ice, the ice making is finished, the recorded cold water outlet time is reset, the cold water in the cold water tank is refrigerated, and the cold water tank is subjected to water supplementing control, so that water can be supplemented at any time, and the cold water outlet is ensured to continue.
It can be understood that, in each ice making process, the time of cold water discharge can be accumulated, for example, in a certain ice making process, the number of times of cold water discharge is N, so that the time of cold water discharge of the water dispenser recorded in the whole ice making process is the accumulation of the time of cold water discharge N times, that is, the time of cold water discharge is T1+ T2+ … … + TN, T1 is the time of cold water discharge for the first time, T2 is the time of cold water discharge for the second time, and TN is the time of cold water discharge for the nth time.
In summary, according to the ice making control method of the water dispenser provided by the embodiment of the invention, the preset ice making time and the preset ice making temperature of the water dispenser are obtained, in the process of making ice through the ice making module, the ice making temperature in the ice making module and the temperature of cold water in the cold water tank are detected, the accumulated ice making time of the water dispenser is timed according to the temperature of the cold water in the cold water tank, and if the accumulated ice making time of the water dispenser reaches the preset ice making time or the ice making temperature in the ice making module is less than the preset ice making temperature, the ice making module is controlled to stop making ice, and the ice making module is controlled to perform ice shedding, so that whether ice making is finished can be accurately detected, the ice blocks are ensured to be beautiful and not damaged, the size consistency of the ice blocks is ensured, and the user experience is improved.
