Further, in some embodiments of the present invention, each time the water dispenser discharges cold water, the time when the water dispenser accumulates the cold water is recorded, and whether the time when the water dispenser accumulates the cold water is greater than or equal to the preset time, wherein If the time when the water dispenser accumulates the cold water is greater than or equal to the preset time, the ice making module is controlled to stop the ice making, and the cold water tank is subjected to the water supplement control.

That is to say, if the time when the water dispenser accumulates the cold water is greater than or equal to the preset time, it means that the amount of cold water is too large, the ice making module is controlled to stop the ice making, the ice making ends, and the recorded cold water time is cleared. And cooling the cold water of the cold water tank and replenishing the cold water tank, so that the water can be replenished at any time to ensure the continuation of the cold water.

Embodiment 2:

7 is a flow chart of a method of controlling ice making of a water dispenser according to another embodiment of the present invention. The water dispenser includes a cold water tank, an ice making module and a cold water outlet, and a cold water outlet is provided in the cold water tank to the cold water outlet so that the cold water of the cold water tank flows out of the cold water outlet through the cold water outlet flow path.

As shown in FIG. 7, the ice making control method of the water dispenser of the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

S301: Obtain a water discharge state of the water dispenser when performing ice making through the ice making module.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the water dispenser further includes a water inlet, and the water inlet valve of the cold water tank to the water inlet is provided with a water inlet valve, wherein when the water dispenser is controlled to enter the water, the state of the water dispenser can be obtained first, and According to the state of the water dispenser, the water inlet state of the cold water tank is judged. When the cold water tank is judged to be in the water inlet state, the water level of the cold water tank is detected, and the inlet valve is opened and closed according to the water level of the cold water tank; when it is judged that the cold water tank is not In the influent state, the control inlet valve remains closed to stop the cold water tank from entering the water.

Specifically, the state of the water dispenser includes a state in which the cold water tank is cooled, a state in which the ice making module performs ice making, and a state in which the ice making module performs deicing. The cooling water tank is in a state of being cooled and the ice making module is de-icing, and the cold water tank is judged to be in a water-intake state; and the ice making module is in an ice-making state, and the cold water tank is determined to be in a water-injectable state. That is to say, the cold water tank can be replenished at any time during the process of cooling the cold water in the cold water tank; however, during the ice making process by the ice making module, the inlet valve remains closed, that is, the hydration is closed. After the ice making of the ice making module is completed, the ice making module can be controlled to perform ice removal. When the ice making module is controlled to perform ice removal, the cold water tank can also be hydrated.

Specifically, the water inlet valve is opened and closed according to the water level of the cold water tank, including: determining whether the water level of the cold water tank reaches a preset water level; if the water level of the cold water tank does not reach the preset water level, controlling the water inlet valve to open to the cold water tank Inlet water; if the water level of the cold water tank reaches the preset water level, control the inlet valve to close to stop the cold water tank from entering the water. That is to say, in the process of cooling and deicing, the cold water tank can be controlled to replenish water according to the water level of the cold water tank.

Thus, it can be understood that during the ice making process, the cold water will have an effect on the ice making.

S302: When the water dispenser discharges cold water each time, record the time when the water dispenser is currently out of cold water.

Specifically, the cold water outlet control module can control the cold water of the water dispenser, and the cold water in the cold water tank flows out of the cold water outlet through the cold water outlet flow path. Thus, each time the water dispenser exits the cold water, the control timer begins to count the time each time the water dispenser exits the cold water.

S303: Compensating for the time required for the ice maker to make ice according to the current time of the cold water of the water dispenser and the preset compensation coefficient (ie, the preset ice making time mentioned in the previous embodiment), and according to the compensated ice making requirement Time controls the ice making of the ice making module.

The preset compensation coefficient may be a value greater than zero and less than one.

Specifically, the time required for the ice making is compensated according to the current time of the cold water of the water dispenser and the preset compensation coefficient, including: adding the preset compensation coefficient and the current water dispenser according to the preset ice making time, that is, the preset ice making time. The product of the time of cold water.

That is to say, when controlling the ice making module to make ice, if the water dispenser emits cold water, the time when the water dispenser is currently out of cold water can be recorded every time the cold water is discharged, and the time required for ice making is compensated. Specifically, each time the water dispenser discharges cold water, the time required for ice making is increased by K×T, wherein K is a preset compensation coefficient, and T is a time when the water dispenser is currently discharging cold water.

It can be understood that in each ice making process, the total time of compensation is the product of the preset compensation coefficient and the accumulated cold water time of the water dispenser during the entire ice making process. For example, in a certain ice making process, if the number of cold waters is N times and N is a positive integer, then the total time of compensation is K×T1+K×T2+...+K×TN, and T1 is the first time. When the cold water is released, T2 is the time when the cold water is discharged for the second time, and TN is the time when the cold water is discharged for the Nth time.

Therefore, the ice making control method of the water dispenser of the embodiment of the invention adopts a method of compensating for the time required for ice making to ensure the normal operation of the ice making and the consistency of the ice during the cold water, thereby ensuring the function of the cold water and The ice making function works normally.

Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, each time the water dispenser discharges cold water, the time when the water dispenser accumulates the cold water is recorded, and whether the time when the water dispenser accumulates the cold water is greater than or equal to the preset time, wherein if When the water dispenser accumulates the cold water for more than or equal to the preset time, the ice making module is controlled to stop the ice making, and the cold water tank is subjected to the water supplement control.

Further, if the time when the water dispenser accumulates the cold water is less than the preset time, the time required for the ice maker to make ice is compensated according to the current time of the cold water of the water dispenser and the preset compensation coefficient.

Among them, the preset time can be set according to the minimum time for the end of the ice making by the cold water.

That is to say, in each ice making process, the time of discharging cold water can be accumulated. For example, in a certain ice making process, the number of times of cold water is N times, then the drinking water recorded in the whole ice making process is recorded. The time when the cold water is discharged is the cumulative time of the N cold water discharge times, that is, the accumulated cold water time is T1+T2+...+TN, T1 is the time when the cold water is discharged for the first time, and T2 is the time when the cold water is discharged for the second time. TN is the time when the Nth cold water is discharged. In other words, when the ice making module stops making ice, the control timer is cleared to start from zero in the next ice making process. When the ice making module performs ice making, the time of each cold water can be released in the previous cold water. Accumulate on the top.

Furthermore, in the process of ice making by the whole ice making module, if the time of the cold water accumulated by the water dispenser is less than the preset time, the time of the water discharge of the water dispenser is recorded, the time required for the ice making is compensated, and the time required for the ice making is performed. Both increase K × T. If the time when the water dispenser accumulates the cold water is greater than or equal to the preset time, it indicates that the amount of cold water is too large, the ice making module is controlled to stop the ice making, the ice making is finished, and the recorded cold water time is cleared, and The cold water in the cold water tank is used for cooling and the cold water tank is hydrated, so that the water can be replenished at any time to ensure the continuation of the cold water.

The cooling of the cold water of the cold water tank may include: detecting the cold water temperature of the cold water tank, and cooling the cold water of the cold water tank when the cold water temperature of the cold water tank is greater than the first preset temperature. The hydration of the cold water of the cold water tank may include: detecting the water level of the cold water tank, and replenishing the cold water of the cold water tank when the water level of the cold water tank is lower than the preset water level.

It should be noted that, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the time required for the ice maker to make ice may be determined according to the external ambient temperature of the water dispenser. That is to say, when the water dispenser starts to make ice, the external environment temperature of the water dispenser can be detected, and the time required for the ice maker of the water dispenser can be obtained according to the external environment temperature of the water dispenser. Further, in the process of making ice through the ice making module, the accumulated ice making time of the water dispenser is recorded, and when the accumulated ice making time of the water dispenser reaches the time required for ice making, the ice making module is controlled to stop making ice, and Control the ice making module to remove ice.

Further, in the process of making ice through the ice making module, the preset ice making temperature may be obtained according to the external environment temperature of the water dispenser, and the cold water temperature in the cold water tank and the ice making temperature in the ice making module may be detected. When the preset ice making temperature is less than the preset ice making temperature, the ice making module is stopped to stop making ice, and the ice making module is controlled to perform ice removal.

Specifically, the accumulated ice making time of the water dispenser may be timed according to the cold water temperature in the cold water tank, that is, if the cold water temperature in the cold water tank is less than the second temperature threshold, the cumulative ice making time of the water dispenser is increased, if the cold water tank If the temperature of the cold water inside is greater than or equal to the second temperature threshold, the cumulative ice making time of the water dispenser is stopped.

In addition, the ice making module can be controlled to stop ice making according to the cold water temperature in the cold water tank, that is, if the cold water temperature in the cold water tank is greater than the first temperature threshold, the ice making module is controlled to stop making ice, and the water dispenser is controlled in the cold water tank. Cool water for cooling. The first temperature threshold may be greater than the second temperature threshold.

As described above, as shown in FIG. 8, the ice making control method of the water dispenser of one embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

S401: Determine whether the water dispenser is making ice through the ice making module.

If yes, step S402 is performed; if not, the current process is ended.

S402: Determine whether the water dispenser is out of cold water.

If yes, step S403 is performed; if not, the current flow is ended.

S403: Determine whether the time when the water dispenser accumulates cold water is less than a preset time.

If yes, step S404 is performed; if no, step S405 is performed.

S404: Record the time of water discharge from the water dispenser, compensate the time required for ice making, and increase the time required for ice making by K×T.

S405: The ice making module is controlled to stop the ice making, and the ice making ends, and the recorded time of the cold water is cleared.

In summary, according to the ice making control method of the water dispenser according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the ice making machine performs ice making, if the water dispenser discharges cold water, the time when the water dispenser is currently discharging cold water is recorded, and according to the water dispenser The current time of the cold water and the preset compensation coefficient compensate the time required for the ice making of the water dispenser, and control the ice making of the ice making module according to the time required for the compensated ice making, thereby adopting the time required for the ice making The way of compensation is to ensure the normal operation of ice making and the consistency of ice during cold water, so as to ensure that the function of cold water and ice making function can operate normally.

For example, when it is determined that the ice making temperature in the current ice making process is less than the third temperature threshold, it may be determined that the drinking water supply device currently has a supercooling fault, and if the ice making continues at this time, the ice cube may be caused. Excessive problems occur. At this time, a certain treatment method is needed to eliminate the overcooling fault to eliminate the hidden danger of excessive ice.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the drinking water supply device performs the treatment of the overcooling failure and enters the deicing process, the deicing time at this time and the deicing time used in the normal deicing process are Different. This is because, when the treatment of the overcooling failure is performed, even if the deicing time does not expire, as long as the current ice making temperature is greater than the deicing end freezing temperature minimum (ie, the fourth temperature threshold), then the end can be ended.

Example 6:

Figure 26 is a sterilization control system for a water dispenser in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the control device of the water dispenser is a sterilization control system of the water dispenser. As shown in FIG. 26, the sterilization control system of the water dispenser of the embodiment of the present invention includes: an ultraviolet UV sterilization assembly 90 and a control module 40.

Wherein, an ultraviolet UV (ultraviolet) sterilization assembly 90 is disposed inside the water tank of the water dispenser, a UV sterilization assembly 90 is used to sterilize the water tank; a control module 40 is connected to the UV sterilization assembly 90, and the control module 40 is used to acquire the water dispenser. The state, and the cycle time corresponding to the operating state are determined, and the UV germicidal assembly 90 is controlled to operate at the corresponding cycle time.

As shown in FIG. 27, the ultraviolet UV sterilization assembly 90 includes a UV sterilization control circuit 911 and a UV germicidal lamp 912. One end of the UV sterilization control circuit is connected to the control module 40, and the other end of the UV sterilization control circuit is connected to the UV germicidal lamp 912. . The UV sterilization unit 90 emits ultraviolet light by the UV germicidal lamp 912 for sterilization. Specifically, the control module 40 controls the opening or closing of the UV sterilization or the like 912 by controlling the opening or closing of the UV sterilization control circuit 911, that is, controlling the opening or closing of the UV sterilization component.

It should be noted that the cycle time includes an opening time and a closing time, wherein the control module 40 is configured to control the UV sterilization component 90 to turn on the corresponding opening time and turn off the corresponding closing time to operate in a cycle.

That is, the control module 40 acquires the state of the water dispenser and determines the cycle time corresponding to the current operating state of the water dispenser, and the control module 40 controls the operation of the UV sterilization component according to the cycle time corresponding to the current operating state of the water dispenser to enable UV sterilization. Assembly 90 sterilizes the water tank. In other words, the control module 40 controls the UV sterilization component 90 to turn on its corresponding opening time according to the current operating state of the water dispenser, and controls the UV sterilization component 90 to close the corresponding closing time after the opening time is reached, thereby circulating the cycle until drinking water. The operating state changes, and the control module 40 controls the UV sterilization component to operate in a corresponding cycle time according to the new operating state of the water dispenser.

Therefore, the sterilization control system of the embodiment of the invention can sterilize the water tank of the water dispenser through the UV sterilization component, because the UV sterilization component has less influence on the water temperature, can effectively save energy, improve the efficiency of the sterilization system, and simultaneously structure the UV sterilization component. It is easy to install and can be widely used in water dispenser systems with low production costs. Moreover, the control unit controls the UV sterilization component to operate in different cycles under different operating states of the water dispenser, and can save energy while ensuring the sterilization effect.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figs. 28 and 29, the water tank of the water dispenser is a refrigerator 901 or a cold water tank 902. Among them, the refrigerator 901 is an ice making module, and the cold water tank 902 is a cold water tank.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the water tank of the water dispenser is a refrigerator, as shown in FIG. 28, the refrigerator 901 is disposed in the cold water tank 902 of the water dispenser, and the UV sterilization component 90 can be disposed in the refrigerator 901. The refrigerator 901 is sterilized. Specifically, an ice making area 931 and an ice storage area 932 may be disposed in the refrigerator 901, and the UV sterilization unit 90 may be disposed at the ice storage area 932.

During the drinking water mechanism, the water in the refrigerator 901 can be cooled and ice-formed by the compressor system. The water in the cold water tank 902 can be directly injected into the refrigerator 901 to increase the ice making speed of the refrigerator 901. Specifically, the cold water pump in the cold water tank 40 can be sent to the refrigerator 901 by a water pump, which can be disposed in the cold water tank 40.

On the other hand, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the water tank of the water dispenser is a cold water tank, as shown in FIG. 29, the UV sterilization assembly 90 may be disposed in the cold water tank 902 to sterilize the cold water tank 902.

It should be understood that regardless of whether or not the refrigerator 901 is disposed in the cold water tank 902, the cold water tank 902 may be provided with a UV sterilization component 90 to pass the UV in the cold water tank 902 when the refrigerator 901 is installed in the cold water tank 902. The sterilization unit 90 and the UV sterilization unit 90 in the refrigerator 901 sterilize the cold water tank 902 and the refrigerator 901.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the water tank of the water dispenser is a refrigerator, the state of the water dispenser includes cooling shutdown, ice making, and ice making completion, wherein, in the cooling off state, the control unit is configured to control the UV sterilization component to Turning on the first opening time and turning off the first closing time is a periodic operation; in the state of making ice, the control unit is configured to control the UV sterilization component to open the second opening time and turn off the second closing time to run in a cycle; in the ice making completion state The control unit is configured to control the UV sterilization component to turn on the third opening time and turn off the third closing time to operate in a cycle.

That is, when the UV sterilization component 90 sterilizes the refrigerator 901, the control module 40 acquires the current operating state of the water dispenser, and when the control module 40 acquires that the water dispenser is in the cooling off state, the UV sterilization component 90 is controlled to turn on the first opening. The time and the first closing time are closed for the cycle operation. When the control module 40 acquires the water dispenser in the ice making state, the UV sterilization component 90 is controlled to open the second opening time and close the second closing time for the cycle operation, when the control module 40 When the water dispenser is in the ice making completion state, the UV sterilization component 90 is controlled to open the third opening time and turn off the third closing time to operate in a cycle. The control module 40 acquires the operating state of the water dispenser in real time.

It should be noted that the water dispenser can be in the cooling off state when the user does not have ice making demand, that is, the compressor refrigeration system does not perform cooling. When the user has ice making demand, the compressor refrigeration system of the water dispenser performs cooling, and the drinking water is used at this time. The machine is in the state of ice making. When the ice making amount reaches the user's demand, the compressor refrigeration system stops cooling. At this time, the water dispenser is in the state of ice making completion. In this process, the water dispenser is in the cooling off state because the compressor refrigeration system is not in progress. Refrigeration, the temperature inside the refrigerator 901 is high, and as the water dispenser enters the state of ice making, the temperature of the compressor refrigeration system is gradually reduced in the refrigeration system 901 until the ice making is completed, and the refrigerator is made when the water dispenser reaches the state of completion of ice making. The temperature in 901 is the lowest.

Specifically, since the survival rate of the bacteria decreases with a decrease in temperature in a low temperature state, that is, the bacteria in the refrigerator 901 are the most in the case where the water dispenser is in a closed state of the refrigerator, and the state in the ice making process is performed with the water dispenser. The bacterial content is higher than the ice making state. The sterilization intensity of the UV sterilization component 90 is proportional to the running time, so when the water dispenser sterilizes the refrigerator 901 by using the UV sterilization component 90, the opening time of the UV sterilization component 90 is completed in a cooling off state, an ice making state, and ice making. The order of the states is sequentially decreased, that is, the first opening time > the second opening time > the third opening time, and the time when the UV sterilization component 90 is turned off is sequentially increased in the order of the cooling off state, the ice making state, and the ice making completion state, that is, the first A closing time <second closing time < third closing time.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the water tank of the water dispenser is a refrigerator, the operating time of the UV sterilization component is controlled to be the longest in the cooling state of the water dispenser, and the operation time of the UV sterilization component is minimized in the drinking water mechanism to complete the UV. The sterilizing component has the longest running time when the bacteria survives more, and the running time is the shortest when the bacteria survives less, thereby effectively saving energy while ensuring the bactericidal effect.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the water tank of the water dispenser is the cold water tank 902, the state of the water dispenser includes the cold water tank without water, the cooling, the cooling completion, and the cooling shutdown, wherein the control module 40 is in the waterless state of the cold water tank. For controlling the UV sterilization assembly 90 to open the fourth opening time and closing the fourth closing time for the cycle; in the cooling state, the control module 40 is configured to control the UV sterilization component 90 to turn on the fifth opening time and turn off the fifth closing time. In the cooling completion state, the control module 40 is configured to control the UV sterilization component 90 to open the sixth opening time and turn off the sixth closing time to operate in a cycle; in the cooling off state, the control unit is configured to 20 control the UV sterilization component to Turn on the seventh turn-on time and turn off the seventh turn-off time for the cycle run.

That is, when the UV sterilization component 90 sterilizes the cold water tank 902, the control module 40 acquires the current operating state of the water dispenser, and when the control module 40 acquires that the water dispenser is in a waterless state of the cold water tank, the UV sterilization component 90 is controlled to be turned on. The fourth opening time and the closing of the fourth closing time are periodic operations. When the control module 40 obtains that the water dispenser is in the cooling state, the UV sterilization component 90 is controlled to open the fifth opening time and turn off the fifth closing time for the cycle, when the control module 40: When the water dispenser is in the cooling completion state, the UV sterilization component 90 is controlled to open the sixth opening time and the sixth closing time is turned off to operate in a cycle. When the control module 40 acquires the water dispenser in the cooling off state, the UV sterilization component is controlled. The cycle is started by turning on the seventh on time and turning off the seventh off time.

It should be noted that the water dispenser is in a state of no water in the cold water tank when the user has no cold water demand, that is, there is no water in the cold water tank 902. When the user has cold water demand, the cold water tank 902 can be filled with water but the compressor refrigeration system is not yet turned on. The water dispenser is in a state of cooling off. Further, the compressor refrigeration system of the water dispenser is started to perform cooling. At this time, the water dispenser is in a cooling state, and when the cold water temperature reaches the user's demand, the compressor refrigeration system stops cooling, and the water dispenser is at this time. The cooling is completed, and the water dispenser is in a cooling off state before the cooling is completed and the user does not use the water in the cold water tank 902. In the process, the water dispenser has no compressor system cooling or cooling in the cold water tank. The cold water temporarily cools down, so the temperature is the highest. As the temperature of the injected water in the cold water tank 902 decreases, the compressor refrigeration system enters the cooling state, and the compressor refrigeration system gradually reduces the temperature in the cooling cold water tank 902 until the cooling is completed. When the water dispenser reaches the cooling completion state, the temperature in the cold water tank 30 is the lowest.

Specifically, since the survival rate of the bacteria decreases with a decrease in temperature in a low temperature state, that is, the water in the cold water tank 902 is the most in the water dispenser when the cold water tank 902 is closed, and the temperature of the injected water in the cold water tank decreases. When the compressor refrigeration system is turned on for cooling, the bacteria content in the cooling state is higher than the cooling completion state. The sterilization intensity of the UV sterilization component 90 is proportional to the running time. Therefore, when the water dispenser sterilizes the cold water tank 902 by using the UV sterilization component 90, the UV sterilization component 90 is turned on in a state of no water in the cold water tank, a closed state in the cooling state, and a cooling state. The order of the state and the cooling completion state is sequentially decreased, that is, the fourth opening time>the seventh opening time>the fifth opening time>the sixth opening time, and the time when the UV sterilization component 90 is turned off is the cold water tank free state, the cooling off state, and the cooling. The order of the medium state and the cooling completion state is sequentially increased, that is, the fourth closing time <the seventh closing time <the fifth closing time <the sixth closing time.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the water tank of the water dispenser is a cold water tank, the operation time of the UV sterilization component is controlled to be the longest in the waterless state of the cold water tank of the water dispenser, and the operation time of the UV sterilization component is controlled to be the shortest in the state of completion of the water dispenser refrigeration. The UV sterilizing module has the longest running time when the bacteria survives more, and the running time is shorter when the bacteria survives less, thereby effectively saving energy while ensuring the bactericidal effect.

In summary, according to the sterilization control system of the water dispenser according to the embodiment of the present invention, the ultraviolet UV sterilization component is disposed inside the water tank of the water dispenser, and the water tank is sterilized by the UV sterilization component, and the control unit acquires the state of the water dispenser and determines The cycle time corresponding to the operating state, and controlling the UV germicidal assembly to operate at the corresponding cycle time. Therefore, the sterilization control system of the embodiment of the invention can sterilize the inside of the water tank of the water dispenser through the ultraviolet UV sterilization component, the sterilization process has little influence on the water temperature, and the ultraviolet UV sterilization component has a simple structure and convenient installation, and in addition, through different operations. In the state of controlling the UV sterilization component to run for different cycle times, it can save energy under the condition of effective sterilization.

The embodiment of the invention also proposes a water dispenser.

31 is a sterilization control method of a water dispenser according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 31, the sterilization control method of the water dispenser of the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

S803: Control the UV sterilization component inside the water tank of the water dispenser to operate in a corresponding cycle time.

That is to say, in the sterilization process of the water dispenser, firstly, the state of the water dispenser is obtained, and then the cycle time corresponding to the current operating state of the water dispenser is determined according to the state of the water dispenser, that is, the running time and the closing time of the UV sterilization component in the cycle, The UV germicidal assembly inside the tank that controls the water dispenser operates at a corresponding cycle time.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the water tank of the water dispenser is a refrigerator, the state of the water dispenser includes cooling shutdown, ice making, and ice making completion, wherein, in the cooling off state, the UV sterilization component is controlled to open the first opening.

When the water dispenser is in the state of making ice, the UV sterilization component is controlled to start the second opening time and the second closing time is closed for the cycle. When the water dispenser is in the ice making state, the UV sterilization component is controlled to be turned on. The third opening time and the closing of the third closing time are periodic operations. Among them, the operating state of the water dispenser is obtained in real time during the sterilization process.

It should be noted that the water dispenser can be in the cooling off state when the user does not have ice making demand, that is, the compressor refrigeration system does not perform cooling. When the user has ice making demand, the compressor refrigeration system of the water dispenser performs cooling, and the drinking water is used at this time. The machine is in the state of ice making. When the ice making amount reaches the user's demand, the compressor refrigeration system stops cooling. At this time, the water dispenser is in the state of ice making completion. In this process, the water dispenser is in the cooling off state because the compressor refrigeration system is not in progress. Refrigeration, the temperature inside the refrigerator is high. As the water dispenser enters the state of ice making, the temperature of the compressor refrigeration system is gradually reduced in the refrigeration system until the ice making is completed. When the water dispenser reaches the state of completion of ice making, the temperature inside the refrigerator is completed. lowest.

Specifically, since the survival rate of the bacteria decreases with a decrease in temperature in a low temperature state, that is, the water in the refrigerator is the most in the refrigerator when the water dispenser is in a closed state, and the state in the ice making process is performed with the water dispenser. The bacterial content is higher than the ice making completion state. The sterilization intensity of the UV sterilization component is proportional to the running time. Therefore, when the water dispenser uses the UV sterilization component to sterilize the refrigerator, the opening time of the UV sterilization component is sequentially in the order of cooling off state, ice making state, and ice making completion state. Decrease, that is, the first opening time > the second opening time > the third opening time, and the time when the UV sterilization component is turned off is sequentially increased in the order of the cooling off state, the ice making state, and the ice making completion state, that is, the first closing time < Second closing time <third closing time.

The sixth opening time is turned on and the sixth closing time is turned off as a cycle; in the cooling off state, the UV sterilization component is controlled to open the seventh opening time and turn off the seventh closing time to operate in a cycle.

That is to say, when the UV sterilization component is sterilized for the cold water tank, the current operating state of the water dispenser is obtained, and when the water dispenser is in the waterless state of the cold water tank, the UV sterilization component is controlled to open the fourth opening time and close the fourth closing time. For the cycle operation, when the water dispenser is in the cooling state, the UV sterilization component is controlled to open the fifth opening time and the fifth closing time is turned off, and when the water dispenser is in the cooling state, the UV sterilization component is controlled to be turned on. The sixth opening time and the closing of the sixth closing time operation are periodic operations.

State, and the water dispenser is in a cooling off state before the cooling is completed and the user does not use the water in the cold water tank. In the process, the water dispenser has no compressor system cooling or cold water in the cold water tank. Cooling, so the temperature is the highest, as the temperature of the injected water in the cold water tank decreases, and then the compressor of the refrigeration system enters the cooling state, and the compressor refrigeration system gradually reduces the temperature in the cooling cold water tank until the cooling is completed, when the water dispenser reaches The temperature in the cold water tank is the lowest when the cooling is completed.

Specifically, since the survival rate of the bacteria decreases with the decrease in temperature at a low temperature state, that is, the bacteria in the cold water tank are most at the time when the cold water tank is closed, and the temperature is lowered as the temperature of the injected water in the cold water tank is lowered. During the refrigeration process of the mechanism cooling system, the bacteria content in the state of cooling is higher than the state of completion of cooling.
