Step S110, acquiring the daily ice volume of the ice making equipment.

Wherein, the ice making device is an ice machine or a refrigerator. When the ice making device is a refrigerator, the refrigerator has an ice making function. For the convenience of description, and in order to enable those skilled in the art to quickly understand the technical solution of the present invention, only the technical problems to be solved in the present invention and/or the technical ideas that are strongly related (directly related or indirectly related) The technical features are described in detail, and the technical features that are weakly related to the technical problems and/or technical concepts to be solved by the invention will not be described in detail. Since the weakly related technical features belong to common knowledge in the field, even if the present invention does not describe the weakly related features, the disclosure of the present invention will not be insufficient.

As shown in FIG. 2 , in some embodiments of the present invention, a refrigerator includes a cabinet 1 and an ice-making module 2 , and the refrigerator uses the ice-making module 2 to make ice.

As shown in FIG. 3 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the ice making module 2 includes a water tank 21 , a water pipe 22 , a water pump 23 , an ice making tray 24 , a driving device 25 and an ice storage box 26 . Wherein, the water tank 21 is detachably installed on the tank body 1 and used for storing water. The water pipe 22 is fixedly installed on the box body 1 , one end of the water pipe 22 communicates with the water tank 21 , and the other end of the water pipe 22 is located above the ice tray 24 . The water pump 23 is fixedly installed on the box body 1 , and the water pump 23 is used to pump the water in the water tank 21 into the water pipe 22 so that the water pipe 22 can deliver the water to the ice making tray 24 . The ice making tray 24 is rotatably mounted on the box body 1, and the ice making tray 24 is used to cool the water therein into ice. The driving device 25 is fixedly installed on the box body 1 and is used to drive the ice making tray 24 to turn over. The ice storage box 26 is installed on the box body 1 and is located below the ice making tray 24, and the ice storage box 26 is used for storing ice cubes.

In an example of the present invention, the driving device 25 includes a motor, the housing of the motor is fixedly connected with the box body 1 , and the rotating shaft of the motor is drivingly connected with the ice making tray 24 . Optionally, a gear set may also be provided between the rotating shaft of the motor and the ice making tray 24, so as to realize the function of deceleration through the gear shaft.

In some embodiments of the present invention, when the ice making module 2 makes ice, the water pump 23 is first controlled to pump the water in the water tank 21 into the ice making tray 24, and then the ice making tray 24 cools the water therein into ice. After the ice making tray 24 cools the water in it into ice, the driving device 25 drives the ice making tray 24 to turn over, so that the ice cubes in the ice making tray 24 fall into the ice storage box 26.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the daily ice usage is the maximum or average amount of ice consumed by the user per day. The daily amount of ice can be input by the user into the ice making device, or can be calculated by the ice making device itself.

If the daily amount of ice is input by the user into the ice-making device, a touch screen can be set on the ice-making device, so that the user can input the daily ice amount into the ice-making device through the touch screen.

If the daily amount of ice is calculated by the ice-making device itself, the ice-making device can count the number of times the ice-making tray 24 makes ice every day, and determine the user's daily ice amount accordingly. Exemplarily, the ice-making equipment can use the ice made by all the ice-making times of the ice-making tray 24 in the previous day as the user's daily ice volume; The ice is used as the user's daily ice volume. Wherein, n is a natural number and not less than 2.

Step S120, according to the daily ice volume, determine the normal ice making time of the ice making equipment.

Specifically, the regular ice making time of the ice making device is determined according to the daily ice volume and the ice making power of the ice making device.

More specifically, according to the daily ice volume and the ice production volume of the ice tray 24 each time, the number of times (the number of trays) that the ice tray 24 needs to make ice is determined. Then, according to the ice-making time of the ice-making tray 24 each time, determine the total time for the ice-making tray 24 to make the daily amount of ice. The total time is the normal ice making time of the ice making equipment.

Step S130, in response to the fact that the normal ice-making time is not longer than the low power consumption period, control the ice-making equipment to operate at the first ice-making power during the low power consumption period, so as to obtain the ice of the daily ice volume.

Among them, the period of low power consumption is the period received by the ice-making equipment, which can be obtained by at least one of the following methods:

Method 1: When the ice-making equipment is manufactured, the manufacturer stores the low power consumption period on the ice-making equipment.

In the second way, the user manually inputs the information through the touch screen or the operation buttons provided on the ice-making equipment, and the ice-making equipment stores the information after receiving the information input by the user.

Method 3: The communication module of the ice-making equipment itself obtains the information through the Internet.

Further, the first ice-making power is the rated ice-making power or the standard ice-making power of the ice-making device.

In some embodiments of the present invention, when the normal ice-making time is less than or equal to the period of low power consumption, the ice-making equipment is controlled to operate at the first ice-making power during the period of low power consumption, and the ice-making equipment is controlled to operate at the first ice-making power during the period of low power consumption. Ice production ends at the end of the period. In order to reduce the electricity load of the entire grid and the user's electricity bill, it can ensure that the ice used by the user the next day is fresh enough.

Step S140, in response to the fact that the normal ice-making time is greater than the low power consumption period, control the ice-making equipment to operate at the second ice-making power during the low power consumption period, so as to obtain ice of the daily amount of ice.

As example one:

The second ice making power is the maximum ice making power of the ice making device. When the normal ice-making time is longer than the low power consumption period, the ice-making equipment is operated at the maximum ice-making power during the low power consumption period to obtain ice of the daily ice volume. Those skilled in the art can understand that, in this example, the actual ice making time of the ice making device may be less than the low power consumption period, or may be equal to the low power consumption period.

As example two:

The second ice making power is the maximum ice making power of the ice making device. When the normal ice-making time is longer than the period of low power consumption, make the ice-making equipment run at the first ice-making power for a period of time during the period of low power consumption, and make the ice-making equipment run at the second ice-making power during the period of low power consumption run for another period of time. In order to make the ice-making equipment able to produce the ice of the daily ice volume, the ice-making time of the ice-making equipment is all concentrated in the low power consumption period, so as to reduce the power load of the power grid and save the user's power consumption expenses.

Those skilled in the art can understand that since the service life of the ice-making equipment running at the maximum ice-making power is shorter than the service life of the ice-making equipment running at the rated While reducing the power load of the power grid and saving users' electricity consumption, it also ensures the service life of the ice making equipment.

Those skilled in the art can also understand that, since the noise of the ice-making equipment running at the maximum ice-making power is greater than that of the ice-making equipment running at the rated power, it is preferable in Example 2 to control the ice-making equipment Runs on the second ice making power during deep sleep time.

Wherein, the deep sleep time is the deep sleep time of the user during the power consumption period. The deep sleep time can be any feasible time, for example, 1:00 to 3:00, 2:00 to 4:00, 2:00 to 3:00, etc. in the morning. Further, the ice-making device can use any of the following methods to obtain the deep sleep time:

Method 1: When the ice-making equipment is manufactured, the manufacturer stores the deep sleep time on the ice-making equipment.

The third way is to configure a communication module for the ice-making equipment, and make the communication module establish a communication connection with the smart bracelet worn by the user or other sleep detection devices. When the user is in deep sleep, the smart bracelet or other sleep detection devices will send the corresponding time to the communication module, so that the ice-making equipment can obtain the user's deep sleep time.

As example three:

The second ice-making power is not greater than the maximum ice-making power of the ice-making device, and is not less than the rated ice-making power of the ice-making device.

When the regular ice-making time is longer than the low power consumption period, the second ice-making power is calculated according to the daily ice consumption and the low power consumption period, and then the ice-making equipment is always operated at the second ice-making power during the low power consumption period , in order to produce the daily amount of ice.

Wherein, the second ice-making power=daily ice consumption/low power consumption period.

Based on the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can understand that, in some embodiments of the present invention, when the normal ice-making time is not longer than the low power consumption period, by making the ice-making equipment The ice-making power is running to obtain the ice of the daily ice volume; when the regular ice-making time is longer than the low-power consumption period, the ice-making equipment is operated at the second ice-making power during the low-power consumption period to obtain daily-use ice A large amount of ice, so that the ice making equipment of the present invention can make full use of the low power consumption period to produce ice that meets the user's entire day's consumption, and the ice produced can be used up by the user in the next day, thereby ensuring the user's use The freshness of the ice. Therefore, the ice-making equipment of the present invention not only reduces the electricity load of the entire grid during the peak hours of electricity consumption, but also reduces the user's electricity expense.

Further, by making the ice-making equipment run at the second ice-making power during the deep sleep time, it is avoided that the user is woken up by the noise generated by the ice-making machine while in a light sleep, so the ice-making equipment of the present invention guarantees ice-making efficiency while , also ensures the user's comfort level.

Step S210, if the voltage of the power supply 5 of the ice-making equipment reaches the preset threshold, it is determined that the current moment does not belong to the low power consumption period.

Wherein, the preset threshold can be obtained through multiple experiments. Specifically, the voltage of the power supply 5 is detected respectively during the valley period of power consumption and the peak period of power consumption, and a voltage value is selected therefrom. The voltage value is less than or equal to the voltage value of the power supply 4 during the peak power consumption period, and greater than the voltage value of the power supply 5 during the peak power consumption period. The preset threshold can be any feasible value, such as 200V, 205V, 218V and so on.
