[0049] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application are further elaborated in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The described embodiments should not be regarded as limiting this application. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0050] In the following description, reference is made to “some embodiments”, which describes a subset of all possible embodiments, but it will be understood that “some embodiments” may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments and may be combined with each other without conflict.
[0051] If similar descriptions of "first / second" appear in the application documents, the following explanation is added. In the following description, the terms "first\second\third" involved are merely used to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific order for the objects. It can be understood that "first\second\third" can be interchanged with a specific order or sequence where permitted, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.
[0052] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application only and are not intended to limit this application.
[0053] At present, most ice-making equipment on refrigerators uses air cooling technology, that is, by continuously blowing cold air into the ice-making mold, the water is finally frozen into ice cubes of a specific shape. This air-cooled ice-making method has a slow ice-making speed and the hardness of the ice cubes cannot be adjusted.
[0054] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides an ice-making method, which can ensure a uniform ice output speed by controlling the constant temperature of the ice-making module. When the constant temperature is low, the hardness of the prepared ice cubes is large, and when the constant temperature is high, the hardness of the prepared ice cubes is small. That is, the hardness of the ice cubes can be adjusted by controlling the constant temperature of the ice-making module.
[0055] An embodiment of the present application provides an ice-making method, which can be performed by an electronic device, wherein the electronic device can be an ice-making device (for example, a refrigerator, a freezer), a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, a set-top box, a mobile device (for example, a mobile phone, a portable music player, a personal digital assistant, a dedicated messaging device, a portable gaming device) and other various types of terminals, and can also be implemented as a server. The server can be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks (CDNs), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. Below, the ice-making method is applied to an ice-making device as an example for explanation.
[0056] Figure 1 The present invention provides an embodiment of an ice making method for realizing a schematic flow chart, the ice making method is applied to an ice making device, the ice making device at least includes: an ice making module and a refrigeration module, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method may include steps S101 to S103, wherein:
[0057] S101, obtaining a first detected temperature of the ice-making module when the cooling mode of the refrigeration module is the first mode;
[0058] Here, the ice-making module can be a closed metal cavity, and ice is made by controlling the temperature inside the metal cavity to be at a relatively low temperature (e.g., below 0 degrees Celsius). Here, the refrigeration module can be a compressor, and the refrigeration module and the ice-making module are connected via a refrigerant pipe. When the refrigeration module is running, cold energy enters the refrigeration module through the refrigerant pipe inlet, flows through the cavity of the ice-making module, and then flows out from the refrigerant pipe outlet.
[0059] The first mode is the default refrigeration mode of the refrigeration module. The first mode is, for example, an ice-making mode. Specifically, the refrigeration module delivers cold energy to the ice-making module through multiple refrigerant pipe inlets. The amount of cold energy delivered by each refrigerant pipe at the same time is different. Therefore, different refrigerant pipes can represent different ice-making modes.
[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, by turning on the switch of the ice-making device, the refrigeration module can start working in the first mode. At this time, the temperature detection device can be used to measure the first detection temperature of the ice-making module.
[0061] It can be understood that the temperature detection device can be, for example, a temperature detector, a temperature probe, or the like.
[0062] S102: Based on the first detected temperature, adjusting the refrigeration speed of the refrigeration module to control the ice-making module to have a preset temperature.
[0063] It should be noted that the preset temperature is a temperature set by those skilled in the art based on the desired hardness of the ice cubes. The preset temperature can be a temperature value or a temperature range. For example, the preset temperature can be -10 degrees Celsius (°C), or the preset temperature can be -13°C to -7°C.
[0064] After the first detected temperature is acquired, the refrigeration speed of the refrigeration module may be adjusted based on the first detected temperature to control the ice-making module to be at a constant preset temperature.
[0065] In some embodiments, the preset temperature can also be determined based on the first detected temperature. For example, each first detected temperature corresponds to a preset temperature, or each first detected temperature corresponds to a temperature range, and any temperature within this temperature range can be used as the preset temperature. During implementation, a table of correspondences between first detected temperatures and preset temperatures can be pre-established. After the first detected temperature is determined, the preset temperature can be determined by looking up the table, eliminating the need for manual setting of the preset temperature. This can make the ice-making process more intelligent.
[0066] In some embodiments, to control the ice-making module to have a preset temperature, step S102 may include:
[0067] When the first detected temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature, controlling the cooling speed of the cooling module to be within a first speed range;
[0068] When the first detected temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature and less than the first temperature, controlling the cooling speed of the refrigeration module to be within a second speed range; wherein any speed within the second speed range is less than the minimum speed within the first speed range;
[0069] When the first detected temperature is lower than the preset temperature, the cooling speed of the refrigeration module is controlled to be a fourth speed; wherein the fourth speed is lower than the minimum speed within the second speed range.
[0070] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, different cooling speeds are adopted based on different first detection temperatures so that the ice-making module is quickly at a preset temperature, that is, ice cubes of different hardness can be quickly prepared.
[0071] When the first detected temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, it means that the temperature in the ice-making module is high under the default first mode and the default cooling speed, and the temperature of the ice-making module needs to be controlled to be further lowered. At this time, it is necessary to determine the relationship between the first detected temperature and the first temperature. Here, the first temperature is greater than the preset temperature. For example, the preset temperature is -10°C and the first temperature is -5°C.
[0072] When the first detected temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature, it indicates that the temperature of the ice-making module is far from the required preset temperature. At this time, a higher cooling speed (i.e., a cooling speed within the first speed range) is required to quickly lower the temperature of the ice-making module.
[0073] When the first detected temperature is lower than the first temperature, it indicates that the temperature of the ice-making module is closer to the required preset temperature. In this case, a lower cooling speed (i.e., a cooling speed within the second speed range) can be used to lower the temperature of the ice-making module.
[0074] It should be noted that the maximum speed of the second speed range is less than or equal to the minimum speed of the first speed range.
[0075] When the first detected temperature is lower than the preset temperature, it indicates that the temperature in the ice-making module is low under the default first mode and the default cooling speed. It is necessary to control the temperature of the ice-making module to increase. In other words, the cooling speed of the cooling module is controlled to be slightly lower (i.e., the fourth speed) to increase the temperature in the ice-making module. It is worth noting that the fourth speed is lower than the minimum speed within the second speed range.
[0076] In the embodiment of the present application, by determining the size relationship between the first detected temperature and the preset temperature and adopting different refrigeration speeds, the refrigeration module is intelligently controlled to be at the preset temperature, which not only saves ice making time but also saves refrigeration costs.
[0077] In order to further adjust the cooling speed of the refrigeration module based on the first detected temperature to quickly control the ice-making module to have a preset temperature, in some embodiments, when the first detected temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature, controlling the cooling speed of the refrigeration module to be within a first speed range includes:
[0078] When the first detected temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature and less than or equal to the second temperature, controlling the cooling speed of the cooling module to be the first speed;
[0079] When the first detected temperature is greater than the second temperature, the cooling speed of the refrigeration module is controlled to be a second speed; wherein the second speed is greater than the first speed, and the first speed is the minimum speed within the first speed range.
[0080] It can be understood that when the first detected temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature, it indicates that the temperature of the ice-making module is significantly different from the required preset temperature, and the temperature of the ice-making module needs to be further lowered. At this time, the relationship between the first detected temperature and the second temperature can also be determined. Here, the second temperature is greater than the first temperature. For example, the first temperature is -5°C and the second temperature is 0°C.
[0081] When the first detected temperature is between the first temperature and the second temperature, it indicates that the temperature of the ice-making module is relatively close to the required preset temperature. At this time, a smaller cooling speed (ie, the first speed) can be used to lower the temperature of the ice-making module.
[0082] When the first detected temperature is greater than the second temperature, it indicates that the temperature of the ice-making module is relatively far from the required preset temperature. At this time, a higher cooling speed (ie, the second speed) can be used to quickly lower the temperature of the ice-making module.
[0083] It should be noted that the second speed and the first speed are both within the first speed range, the second speed is greater than the first speed, and the first speed is the minimum speed within the first speed range.
[0084] In an embodiment of the present application, when the first detected temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature, the temperature of the refrigeration module is intelligently controlled to decrease by determining the size relationship between the first detected temperature and the second temperature and adopting different refrigeration speeds. On the one hand, it can save ice making time, and on the other hand, it can save costs.
[0085] Furthermore, in order to adjust the cooling speed of the refrigeration module based on the first detected temperature so as to quickly control the ice-making module to have a preset temperature, in some embodiments, when the first detected temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature and less than the first temperature, controlling the cooling speed of the refrigeration module to be within a second speed range includes:
[0086] When the first detected temperature is greater than the preset temperature and less than the first temperature, the cooling speed of the refrigeration module is controlled to be a third speed; wherein the third speed and the first detected temperature satisfy a preset linear relationship;
[0087] When the first detected temperature is equal to the preset temperature, the cooling speed of the refrigeration module is controlled to be the preset speed; wherein the third speed is greater than the preset speed, and the preset speed is the minimum speed within the second speed range.
[0088] When the first detection temperature is between the preset temperature and the first temperature, the cooling speed (i.e., the third speed) of the refrigeration module satisfies a certain linear relationship with the first detection temperature. That is, when the first detection temperature is between the preset temperature and the first temperature, as the first detection temperature decreases, the third speed becomes smaller and smaller. When the first detection temperature decreases to be equal to the preset temperature, the third speed decreases to be equal to the preset speed. Alternatively, as the first detection temperature increases, the third speed becomes larger and larger. When the first detection temperature increases to be equal to the first temperature, the third speed increases to be equal to the first speed. Therefore, the preset linear relationship can be determined by the first temperature, the first speed corresponding to the first temperature, the preset temperature, and the preset speed corresponding to the preset temperature.
[0089] It is understandable that in other embodiments, other methods may be used to determine the preset linear relationship, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.
[0090] In an embodiment of the present application, when the first detected temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature and less than the first temperature, the temperature of the refrigeration module is intelligently controlled to decrease by determining the size relationship between the first detected temperature and the preset temperature and adopting different refrigeration speeds. On the one hand, it can save ice making time, and on the other hand, it can save costs.
[0091] In some embodiments, after controlling the cooling speed of the cooling module to the fourth speed, the method further includes:
[0092] Acquire a second detected temperature of the refrigeration module;
[0093] When the difference between the preset temperature and the second detected temperature is smaller than the first preset difference, the cooling mode of the cooling module is adjusted to the second mode or the third mode.
[0094] It is understandable that after adjusting the speed of the refrigeration module to the fourth speed based on the first detected temperature of the ice-making module in the first mode and implementing it for a certain period of time, it is necessary to detect whether the temperature inside the ice-making module can be restored to a certain extent when the speed of the refrigeration module is the fourth speed, that is, it is necessary to confirm whether the temperature inside the ice-making module can be restored to the preset temperature when the refrigeration module is at the fourth speed. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain the detected temperature of the refrigeration module (i.e., the second detected temperature) again after a certain period of time. It should be noted that the above-mentioned "certain period of time" at least includes: the time for the cooling capacity to be input into the ice-making module, flow through the cavity of the ice-making module, and flow out of the ice-making module after the speed of the refrigeration module is adjusted to the fourth speed.
[0095] Determine whether the difference between the preset temperature and the second detected temperature is less than the first preset difference. When, at the fourth ice-making speed, the difference between the preset temperature and the second detected temperature is less than the first preset difference, it indicates that the temperature inside the refrigeration module is significantly different from the preset temperature. At this time, it is necessary to switch the first mode to the second mode or the third mode to quickly recover the temperature. Here, the second mode and the third mode can be a refrigeration mode or a freezing mode. When, at the fourth ice-making speed, the difference between the preset temperature and the second detected temperature is less than or equal to the first preset difference, it indicates that the temperature inside the refrigeration module is significantly different from the preset temperature. Then, continuing to maintain the ice-making speed at the fourth speed can achieve the temperature adjustment of the ice-making module to the preset temperature.
[0096] It should be noted that the first preset difference may be 1°C or 0.8°C.
[0097] In an embodiment of the present application, after the refrigeration speed of the refrigeration module reaches the fourth speed, whether to switch the refrigeration mode is determined by the size relationship between the preset temperature and the second detection temperature. This not only shortens the speed of controlling the refrigeration module to the preset temperature and achieves rapid ice making, but also saves refrigeration costs.
[0098] In some embodiments, the ice-making device further comprises: a control valve connected between the refrigeration module and the ice-making module, the control valve comprising a first pipe corresponding to the first mode, a second pipe corresponding to the second mode, and a third pipe corresponding to the third mode; the first pipe, the second pipe, and the third pipe are all used to deliver cold energy to the ice-making module;
[0099] When the difference between the preset temperature and the second detected temperature is less than the first preset difference, adjusting the cooling mode of the cooling module to the second mode or the third mode includes:
[0100] When the difference between the preset temperature and the second detected temperature is less than the first preset difference, the control valve is controlled to switch to the second pipeline to adjust the refrigeration mode of the refrigeration module to the second mode, or the control valve is controlled to switch to the third pipeline to adjust the refrigeration mode of the refrigeration module to the third mode.
[0101] It should be noted that the control valve may be an electric switching valve including a refrigerant inlet pipe and three outlet pipes, with different outlet pipes being used to output different amounts of cooling to the ice-making module. When the controller determines that the difference between the second detected temperature and the first detected temperature is less than a first preset difference, the control valve is controlled to switch to the second pipe to adjust the cooling mode of the refrigeration module to the second mode, or the control valve is controlled to switch to the third pipe to adjust the cooling mode of the refrigeration module to the second mode.
[0102] In the embodiment of the present application, the refrigeration mode of the refrigeration module is switched to the second mode or the third mode by controlling the valve to switch the second pipe or the third pipe, so that the refrigeration mode can be adjusted quickly and accurately, that is, the ice-making module can be quickly controlled to be at a constant temperature, that is, ice can be made quickly.
[0103] In some embodiments, when the refrigeration module operates in the second mode or the third mode, the method further includes:
[0104] Acquiring a third detected temperature of the refrigeration module;
[0105] When the difference between the preset temperature and the third detected temperature is greater than the second preset difference, the cooling mode of the cooling module is adjusted to the first mode; wherein the first preset difference is greater than the second preset difference.
[0106] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, switching to the second mode or the third mode is only to make the temperature inside the ice-making module rise quickly. The actual ice-making mode is still the default first mode. Therefore, after switching to the second mode or the third mode, it is necessary to check again whether the temperature of the refrigeration module has risen. If so, it is necessary to switch to the first mode. If it has not risen, continue to work in the second mode or the third mode to increase the temperature inside the ice-making module.
[0107] During implementation, the temperature inside the ice-making module is detected again by the temperature detection device (i.e., the third detection temperature), and the difference between the preset temperature and the third detection temperature is determined. When the difference is greater than the second preset difference, it means that the temperature inside the refrigeration module is less different from the preset temperature at this time. At this time, it can be switched to the first mode. When the difference is less than or equal to the second preset difference, it means that the temperature inside the refrigeration module is more different from the preset temperature at this time, and the refrigeration mode of the refrigeration module continues to be maintained in the second mode or the third mode.
[0108] It should be noted that the second preset difference is smaller than the first preset difference. For example, the second preset difference may be 0.5°C, and the first preset difference may be 1°C.
[0109] In some embodiments, when the difference between the preset temperature and the third detected temperature is greater than the second preset difference, adjusting the cooling mode of the cooling module to the first mode includes:
[0110] When the difference between the preset temperature and the third detected temperature is greater than the second preset difference, the control valve is controlled to switch to the first pipeline, so as to adjust the cooling mode of the refrigeration module to the first mode.
[0111] In the embodiment of the present application, by adjusting the cooling speed of the refrigeration module according to the first detection temperature of the ice-making module in the first mode, the ice-making module can be quickly brought to a preset temperature, thereby achieving rapid ice making.
[0112] Step S103: at a preset temperature, preparing ice cubes having a hardness corresponding to the preset temperature.
[0113] It can be understood that after adjusting the cooling speed of the refrigeration module based on the first detected temperature and controlling the ice-making module to be at a preset temperature, the ice-making module starts to work to prepare ice cubes with a hardness corresponding to the preset temperature, thereby achieving ice cubes of different hardness when the ice-making module is at different preset temperatures, and thus achieving adjustable hardness of the prepared ice cubes.
[0114] In some embodiments, the preset temperature includes at least a first preset temperature and a second preset temperature; the first preset temperature is greater than the second preset temperature; and at the preset temperature, preparing ice cubes having a preset hardness by the ice-making device includes:
[0115] At a first preset temperature, ice cubes having a first preset hardness are prepared; and, at a second preset temperature, ice cubes having a first preset hardness are prepared; wherein the first preset hardness is less than the second preset hardness.
[0116] It can be understood that the ice cubes with the first preset hardness can be ice cubes with smaller hardness, for example, the first preset temperature can be -6℃~-3℃, and the first preset hardness can be 140~220 Newtons (N); the ice cubes with the second preset hardness can be ice cubes with larger hardness, for example, the second preset temperature can be -13℃~-8℃, and the first preset hardness can be 280~500N.
[0117] In the embodiment of the present application, based on the first detected temperature of the ice-making module when the cooling mode of the refrigeration module is the first mode, the refrigeration speed of the refrigeration module is intelligently adjusted to control the ice-making module to quickly be at a constant preset temperature, and at the preset temperature, prepare ice cubes with a hardness corresponding to the preset temperature. In this way, not only can ice be made quickly, but also ice cubes with different hardness can be prepared.
[0118] The ice making method described in one or more of the above embodiments will be described below with examples.
[0119] The ice-making module of the present application (corresponding to the aforementioned ice-making module) is a metal cylindrical cavity. The outer side of the ice-making module is connected to the inlet and outlet of the refrigerant pipe. The top of the cylindrical cavity is connected to the water inlet. A spiral screw is installed inside the cylindrical cavity, and the screw is driven by a motor. A temperature probe (corresponding to the aforementioned temperature detection device) is installed at the outlet of the refrigerant pipe. After the compressor (corresponding to the aforementioned refrigeration module) is running, the cold enters through the refrigerant pipe inlet of the ice-making module, flows through the closed cavity, and flows out from the refrigerant pipe outlet. After the refrigerant flows through the cavity, the temperature of the inner wall of the cylindrical cavity will slowly decrease. When it drops below 0 degrees, ice debris begins to form on the inner wall of the cavity. Because the screw, driven by the motor, rotates continuously in a fixed direction, the ice debris will be scraped off, and then squeezed into a specific shape by the die head. After passing through the ice-breaking mechanism at the ice outlet, it falls into the ice storage box.
[0120] Maintaining a constant temperature inside the ice-making module is crucial to the quality of ice production. Refrigerant is delivered to the ice-making module via a compressor via an electric switching valve (corresponding to the aforementioned control valve). The electric switching valve is a one-inlet, three-outlet valve, with the three outlets corresponding to the refrigeration, ice-making, and freezing pipelines, respectively. The speed of the compressor determines the flow rate of the refrigerant delivered. If the refrigerant flow rate is too high and the water can't absorb the cooling capacity quickly enough, the temperature of the ice-making module will continue to drop. Excessively low temperatures can cause ice to become stuck in the ice-making module. If the refrigerant flow rate is too low and the temperature of the ice-making module can't drop, the ice-making speed will be relatively slow. Therefore, it's necessary to properly control the amount of refrigerant. This can be achieved by adjusting the compressor speed or switching the refrigerant pipeline with an electric switching valve.
[0121] The solution of the embodiment of the present application is to arrange a temperature probe at the outlet of the refrigerant pipe, and through temperature feedback, the program automatically adjusts the compressor speed to achieve constant temperature control of the ice making module. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of another optional ice making method provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the control method may include:
[0122] S201: Start ice making mode;
[0123] S202: Start temperature detection (corresponding to the aforementioned acquisition of the first detected temperature of the ice-making module);
[0124] S203 determines whether the detected temperature T (corresponding to the aforementioned first detected temperature) is greater than 0° C. (corresponding to the aforementioned second temperature);
[0125] In some embodiments, when the detected temperature T is greater than 0° C., step S204 is performed.
[0126] S204: Control the compressor speed to S1 (corresponding to the aforementioned second speed);
[0127] S205: Determine whether the detected temperature T is greater than -5°C (corresponding to the aforementioned first temperature) and less than 0°C;
[0128] In some embodiments, when the detected temperature T is greater than -5°C and less than 0°C, step S206 is executed; when the detected temperature T is less than or equal to -5°C, the process returns to step S204.
[0129] S206: Control the compressor speed to S2 (corresponding to the aforementioned first speed);
[0130] S207: Determine whether the detected temperature T is greater than the set temperature Tset (corresponding to the aforementioned preset temperature) and less than -5°C;
[0131] In some embodiments, when the detected temperature T is greater than Tset and less than -5°C, step S208 is executed; when the detected temperature T is less than or equal to Tset, the process returns to step S206.
[0132] S208: The compressor speed is determined by the y=kx+b curve (corresponding to the aforementioned third speed and the first detected temperature satisfying a preset linear relationship);
[0133] Where y represents the cooling speed of the compressor, and x represents the temperature of the temperature probe;
[0134] S209: Determine whether the detected temperature T is less than Tset;
[0135] In some embodiments, when the detected temperature T is less than Tset, step S210 is executed; when the detected temperature T is greater than or equal to Tset, the process returns to step S208.
[0136] S210: Control the compressor speed to S4 (corresponding to the aforementioned fourth speed);
[0137] S211: Determine whether the re-detected temperature T is less than Tset-1 (corresponding to whether the difference between the aforementioned preset temperature and the second detected temperature is less than the first preset difference);
[0138] In some embodiments, when the temperature T detected again is less than Tset - 1, step S212 is executed; when the temperature T detected again is greater than or equal to Tset - 1, return to execute step S210.
[0139] S212: Switch to the freezing pipeline or the refrigerating pipeline (corresponding to the refrigeration mode of the aforementioned regulating refrigeration module being the second mode or the third mode);
[0140] S213: Determine whether the temperature T detected for the third time is greater than Tset - 0.5 (corresponding to whether the difference between the aforementioned preset temperature and the third detected temperature is greater than the second preset difference);
[0141] In some embodiments, when the temperature T detected again is greater than Tset - 0.5, step S214 is executed; when the temperature T detected again is less than or equal to Tset - 0.5, return to execute step S212.
[0142] S214: Switch to the ice - making pipeline.
[0143] In the embodiments of the present application, the temperature of the set - temperature probe (i.e., the outlet of the refrigerant pipeline) is set as T, the rotational speed of the compressor is Speed (abbreviated as S), and the constant temperature set by the ice - making module is Tset (corresponding to the aforementioned preset temperature). When T > 0 °C, the compressor operates at high speed, and at this time, the refrigeration speed of the compressor is set as S1, aiming to rapidly decrease the temperature inside the refrigeration module; when - 5 °C < T < 0 °C, the compressor operates at speed S2, and S2 < S1. This speed reduction is to reduce the refrigerant flow rate to prevent the temperature inside the refrigeration module from decreasing too fast and being difficult to control the temperature; when T < - 5 °C and T > Tset, the rotational speed of the compressor is controlled according to the method of the straight line y = k * x + b; where y represents the refrigeration speed of the compressor, x represents the temperature of the temperature probe, and the two points on the straight line are (-5, S2) and (Tset, S3), S3 < S2, where K = (S3 - S2) / (Tset + 5), b = S2+(S3 - S2)*5 / (Tset + 5); when T < Tset, the rotational speed of the compressor is S4, S4 < S(3). If the speed drops to S4, then detect whether T is less than (Tset - 1). If T is less than Tset - 1, then switch the electric valve of the ice - making pipeline to refrigeration or freezing, and switch to the ice - making pipeline again after T > (Tset - 0.5).
[0144] In the embodiments of the present application, soft and hard ice are realized based on constant - temperature control. Soft ice is ice that users can directly chew, with a pressure between 140 - 220 N, and hard ice has a pressure between 280 - 500 N. The production of soft ice requires controlling the outlet temperature of the refrigerant to be between - 6 °C and - 3 °C, and hard ice requires temperature control between - 1 °C and - 8 °C.
[0145] In the embodiment of the present application, the constant temperature control method of the ice making module is used. By controlling the constant temperature of the ice making module, the ice output speed can be ensured to be uniform. The lower the constant temperature, the greater the hardness of the ice cubes. The higher the constant temperature, the lower the hardness of the ice cubes. That is, the hardness of the ice cubes can be controlled by constant temperature adjustment.
