具体实施方式
为了使本技术领域的人员更好地理解本发明中的技术方案，下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图，对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述，显然，所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都应当属于本发明保护的范围。
参见图1至图2，本发明一实施方式提供一种冰箱100，冰箱100包括箱体以及用于开闭箱体的门体，箱体内形成储物间室，储物间室包括冷藏间室110和冷冻间室112，门体包括分别用于开闭冷藏间室110的冷藏门体121和用于开闭冷冻间室112的冷冻门体122，冰箱100上还可设置有制冰间室113，制冰间室113可设置在冷藏箱体内，如可在冷藏箱体的顶部设置独立的制冰间室113。制冰间室113也可设置在冷藏门体121上，当然，也可以在箱体内形成与储物间室并列设置的制冰间室113。
制冰间室113内可设置有制冰装置200，制冰装置200可包括用于接收液态水并制冰的制冰盘。制冰装置200的下方还可设置有储冰盒132，储冰盒132可接收并储存制冰装置200制得的冰块。冰箱100上还可设置有供水系统，冷藏间室110内部可设置有储水盒，供水系统可连接外部水源以向制冰盘和储水盒中供水。
冰箱100的门体上还可设置有分配器，分配器可与储冰盒132以及储水盒连通，用户可在不打开冰箱100门体的情况下，通过分配器直接取出冰或者水。
冷藏间室110与冷冻间室112之间设置有隔热搁板，储水盒可设置在冷藏间室110内并置于所述隔热搁板上，储水盒可通过水管连接分配器。由于冷冻室的温度较低，为了避免储水盒以及水管内的水冻结，可在隔热搁板内部预先埋设加热丝，当监测到冷冻室的温度小于预设温度时，可以控制加热丝打开。
冰箱100的箱体一侧可设置有与制冰间室113对应的制冰蒸发器131以向制冰间室113内供应冷气。箱体一侧还可设置有独立于制冰蒸发器131的箱体蒸发器141，以向储物间室内供应冷气。具体的，箱体一侧可设置有用于安装制冰蒸发器131的制冰蒸发器间室130以及安装箱体蒸发器141的箱体蒸发器间室140，制冰蒸发器间 室130通过制冰风道与制冰间室113连通，箱体蒸发器间室140也可通过另外的风道与储物间室连通。制冰蒸发器间室130和箱体蒸发器间室140内均可安装有送风风机，以促进冷气流动。
参见图3，本发明一实施方式提供了一种制冰装置200供水控制方法，包括：
当接收到供水信号时，控制供水系统向制冰盘中注水；
当注水量达到第一预设体积时，控制供水系统停止，并监控制冰盘的温度信息；
当制冰盘的温度达到第一预设温度时，控制供水系统向制冰盘中注入第二预设体积的水；
其中，第一预设温度大于0℃，第一预设体积与第二预设体积之和小于或等于制冰盘的总容水量。
在本实施方式中，制冰盘的底部可以设置有温度传感器，在接收到供水信号时，可在制冰盘的温度降低至0℃以下之前，分至少两次向制冰盘中注水。具体的注水次数可以根据制冰盘的总容水量进行选择，对于总容水量较少的制冰盘，可以分两次进行注水，当然，对于总容水量较大的制冰盘，可以分三次或者更多次向制冰盘中注水。
在制冰盘的温度降低到0℃以下之前向制冰盘中注水，可以避免多次注水过程中上次注入的水冻结导制冰块分层。由于供水系统向制冰盘中注入的水为常温水，在水降温过程中，水会蒸发变为水蒸汽，在风冷循环过程中，水蒸汽跟随冷气循环至制冰蒸发器间室130内，并凝结成霜。若向制冰盘中一次性注满水，水温下降较满，会导制水蒸汽过多，最终导制制冰蒸发器131表面凝结较多的霜冻，影响制冰蒸发器131的制冷效果。而若在制冰盘的温度下降至0℃以下之前向制冰盘多次注水，每次注入的水量减少，水温下降速度变快，因此，水的蒸发变少，制冰蒸发器131表面的霜冻也较少，能够减少化霜次数，提升制冰速度，节省能耗。
进一步的，在本发明一实施方式中，制冰装置200的供水控制方法包括：
当接收到制冰开启信号后，监控制冰盘的温度；
当制冰盘的温度小于或等于第二预设温度时，发送供水信号；
其中，第二预设温度大于0℃。
在本实施方式中，可在每次翻冰结束后发送制冰开启信号，开启新一轮的制冰过程，此时，可以启动制冰盘底部的温度传感器检测制冰盘的温度。制冰盘的底部一般还可安装有脱冰加热丝，当制冰结束后，可开启脱冰加热丝加热制冰盘以辅助冰块与制冰盘脱离，且在脱冰过程中，一般会关闭制冰间室113对应的制冷系统， 因此，制冰间室113以及制冰盘内的温度均会升高。
若在翻冰结束后，立即开启下一轮制冰过程，向制冰盘中注入液态水，则液态水的降温时间会过长，因此，可在接受到制冰开启信号时，监控制冰盘的温度，当制冰盘的温度小于或等于第二预设温度时，发送供水信号，控制供水系统向制冰盘中供应液态水。同样的，第二预设温度需要大于0℃，以避免第二次供水时，制冰盘内底部的水已经结冰。
如此，能够减少水在降温过程中的蒸发，减少水蒸汽，从而减少制冰蒸发器131表面的霜冻，提升制冰速度。
进一步的，在本发明一实施方式中，第二预设温度小于或等于第一预设温度。第一预设体积等于第二预设体积。
在本实施方式中，分多次向制冰盘中注入液态水时，每次注入的水的体积可以相同，从而便于根据制冰盘的温度控制注入水的时间。由于第一次向制冰盘中注入液态水时，注入的水直接与制冰盘接触，而第二次向制冰盘中注入水时，制冰盘中的底部已经存储有第一预设体积的水，且此时的水温已经降低至第一预设温度，第二次注水的水会与第一次注入的水发生对流，从而整体温度会低于第一次注入的水，因此，第一预设温度可以大于第二预设温度，从而加快制冰速度。此外，为了方便控制，第二预设温度也可以等于第一预设温度。
进一步的，在本发明一实施方式中，在步骤“控制供水系统向制冰盘中注入第二预设体积的水”后，还包括：
继续监控制冰盘的温度，当制冰盘的温度降低至第三预设温度时，控制供水系统向制冰盘中注入第三预设体积的水；
其中，第三预设温度大于或等于第一预设温度，所述第一预设体积、第二预设体积与第三预设体积之和小于或等于制冰盘的总容水量。
在本实施方式中，由于第三次注水时，制冰盘中已经存储有较多的低温水，因此，第三预设温度可以大于第一预设温度，从而加快制冰速度。
可以理解，若制冰盘的容积较大，在第三次注水后，可继续监控制冰盘的温度，并当制冰盘的温度下降到对应的预设温度时再次向制冰盘中注水。每次注水时，制冰盘的温度均可高于上次注水时制冰盘的温度。
但优选的，每次注水时，制冰盘的温度均需要在0℃-5℃内，也就是第一预设温度、第二预设温度、第三预设温度均小于或等于5℃避免温度过低或过高，影响制冰效率和冰块质量。
进一步的，在本发明一实施方式中，当接收到制冰开启信号时，若制冰盘的温度大于预设制冷温度，则控制制冷系统向制冰装置200供应冷气。
在本实施方式中，在翻冰结束发送制冰开启信号后，若制冰盘底部的温度过高，可开启制冷系统向制冰间室113内供应冷气，以对制冰装置200制冷，促进制冰盘底部温度快速降低。当制冰盘的温度降低至第二预设温度时，再控制供水系统向制冰盘中供应液态水，从而可以加快制冰速度。
参见图4，本发明一实施方式还提供一种制冰装置，包括存储器202和处理器201，存储器202和处理器201通过通信总线204通信连接。存储器202上存储有可在处理器201上运行的计算机程序，所述处理器201执行所述计算机程序时，实现上述实施方式中的制冰装置供水控制方法中的步骤。冰箱200还包括与通信总线204连接的通信接口203，用于与制冰装置200内的其他设备通信。
当制冰装置200安装到冰箱100内时，制冰装置200可以与冰箱100共用存储器202、处理器201以及通信总线204、通信接口203中的一个或多个，当然，也可以在制冰装置200上独立设置上述元件。
本发明一实施方式还提供一种计算机可读存储介质，其上存储有计算机程序，所述计算机程序被处理器执行时，实现上述实施方式中的制冰装置供水控制方法中的步骤。
综上所述，本发明提供的制冰装置供水方法，在制冰盘的温度降低至0摄氏度以前分多次向制冰盘中注水，可以加快水温降低速度，减少水的蒸发，从而减少制冰蒸发器上的霜冻，降低制冰蒸发器化霜次数，提升制冰速度。
应当理解，虽然本说明书按照实施例加以描述，但并非每个实施例仅包含一个独立的技术方案，说明书的这种叙述方式仅仅是为清楚起见，本领域技术人员应当将说明书作为一个整体，各实施例中的技术方案也可以经适当组合，形成本领域技术人员可以理解的其他实施例。
上文所列出的一系列的详细说明仅仅是针对本发明的可行性实施例的具体说明，并非用以限制本发明的保护范围，凡未脱离本发明技艺精神所作的等效实施例或变更均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
