[0073] To reduce costs for users when using ice cubes of different shapes, this invention provides an ice-making device. This device uses a magnetic structure to combine detachable ice mold components with an installation module to form ice molds of different shapes, thus meeting users' needs for making ice cubes of various shapes. Users only need to purchase ice mold components of different shapes to combine with the magnetic structure of the installation module to obtain ice cubes of different shapes, resulting in low cost. Specifically, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 - Figure 2 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an ice-making device according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 A cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of an ice-making device according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0074] The ice-making device 10 may include:

[0075] The mounting module 101 is equipped with a first magnetic component 102; the mounting module 101 is connected to the refrigeration system 103 of the ice-making equipment 10;

[0076] Multiple ice mold components 104, each ice mold component 104 is provided with a second magnetic component 105.

[0077] In some feasible embodiments, the ice-making device 10 may include an installation module 101 and a plurality of ice mold components 104. The installation module 101 and the ice mold components 104 are respectively provided with magnetic attraction mechanisms so that the ice mold components 104 can be magnetically connected to the installation module 101.

[0078] For example, an ice mold component 104 can correspond to an ice mold of a certain shape (e.g., Figure 1 (as shown); or, multiple ice mold components 104 can be assembled into an ice mold of a shape (such as...). Figure 3 As shown in the figure, for example, one ice mold component 104 corresponds to one side. When multiple ice mold components 104 are magnetically connected to the mounting module 101 at the same time, they can form an ice mold of a certain shape. This embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

[0079] In this embodiment of the invention, the mounting module 101 can be a square plate-like structure, or it can be a plate-like structure of other shapes. This embodiment of the invention does not impose specific limitations on this, such as... Figure 1As shown, the mounting module 101 is a square plate-shaped structure.

[0080] The mounting module 101 may be provided with a first magnetic component 102, and each ice mold assembly 104 may be provided with a second magnetic component 105. For example, the second magnetic component 105 may be provided on the side of each ice mold assembly 104 or on the end face of the ice mold assembly 104. The specific setting position can be determined according to the shape of the ice mold, and the embodiments of the present invention do not limit this.

[0081] The mounting module 101 can be made of copper, the first magnetic component 102 can be a neodymium iron boron magnet, and the second magnetic component 105 can be a neodymium iron boron magnet. This embodiment of the invention does not limit these features.

[0082] When users need ice cubes of different shapes, they can control the different ice mold components 104 to be magnetically connected to the installation module through the first magnetic component 102 and the second magnetic component 105.

[0083] In this embodiment of the invention, the mounting module is connected to the refrigeration system 103 of the ice-making device 10; wherein, the refrigeration system 103 can be used to reduce the temperature of the mounting module; after the ice mold component 104 corresponding to the required shape of the ice mold is magnetically connected to the mounting module, the temperature-reduced mounting module can further reduce the liquid in the ice mold component 104 magnetically connected to the mounting module, thereby causing the liquid in the ice mold component 104 to freeze into ice cubes of the corresponding shape of the ice mold component 104, so as to meet the user's demand for ice cubes of different shapes.

[0084] In some feasible embodiments, the refrigeration system 103 of the ice-making device 10 mainly consists of a refrigeration compressor unit (including an evaporator), a condenser, and other components. The refrigerant enters the evaporator after being throttled through the expansion valve. Since the specific heat capacity of water is greater than that of air and the boiling point of water is the same as the temperature of air, when the water temperature decreases, the water absorbs heat and vaporizes; at the same time, some of the heat in the air is condensed into water vapor and discharged into the atmosphere.

[0085] For example, one side of the mounting module 101 can be used for magnetic connection with the ice mold assembly 104, and the other side of the mounting module 101 can be provided with a pipe, which can be a copper pipe.

[0086] The piping on the other side of the mounting module 101 can be welded to the refrigeration system 103 and used to circulate refrigerant; the refrigerant flowing into the piping of the mounting module 101 can be used to cool the mounting module 101.

[0087] In some feasible embodiments, a groove may be provided on the side of the mounting module 101 for magnetic connection with the ice mold assembly 104, and the first magnetic component 102 may be disposed in the groove; the height of the groove is greater than the height of the first magnetic component 102; thus, the second magnetic component 105 of the ice mold assembly 104 can be embedded in the groove to be magnetically connected with the first magnetic component 102; by providing the groove, the bottom of the ice mold assembled with the mounting module by the ice mold assembly 104 can be sealed, preventing water introduced into the ice mold from flowing out.

[0088] In some other feasible embodiments, each ice mold assembly 104 may be provided with a quick-release notch so that the user can manually remove the ice mold assembly 104 from the mounting module 101.

[0089] In some feasible embodiments, the ice mold assembly 104 can be made of copper.

[0090] In one embodiment of the present invention, each ice mold component 104 is provided with a corresponding ice mold chip 106;

[0091] The mounting module 101 is equipped with a chip detection device 107;

[0092] Ice-making equipment 10 also includes:

[0093] The main control system is connected to the chip detection device 107; the main control system is used to control the refrigeration system 103 based on the detection results of the chip detection device 107 on the ice mold chip 106.

[0094] In some feasible embodiments, each ice mold component 104 may be provided with an ice mold chip 106 corresponding to its shape attributes. The ice mold chip 106 may store information about the shape attributes of the corresponding ice mold component 104. The ice mold chip 106 may be RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), NFC (Near Field Communication), or other chips with short-range identification or contact identification technology. This embodiment of the invention does not impose specific limitations on it.

[0095] The mounting module 101 may be equipped with a chip detection device 107 for reading information from the ice mold chip 106. For example, when the ice mold chip 106 is RFID, the chip detection device 107 can be an RFID reader / writer; when the ice mold chip 106 is NFC, the chip detection device 107 can be an NFC reader / writer. This embodiment of the invention does not limit this.

[0096] In some feasible embodiments, when the ice mold assembly 104 is magnetically connected to the mounting module 101, the chip detection device 107 in the mounting module 101 can detect the ice mold chip 106 in the ice mold assembly 104 magnetically connected to the mounting module 101 and obtain the information stored in the ice mold chip 106.

[0097] In this embodiment of the invention, the ice-making device 10 further includes a main control system, which can be connected to the chip detection device 107. After obtaining the information stored in the ice mold chip 106 from the ice mold chip 106, the chip detection device 107 can generate a detection result based on the information and send the detection result to the main control system. The detection result can be used to characterize the shape attributes corresponding to the ice mold chip 106.

[0098] After receiving the detection results of the chip detection device 107 on the ice mold chip 106, the main control system can control the refrigeration system 103 according to the detection results. For example, the refrigeration time and refrigeration temperature required for ice molds of different shapes may be different. Based on this, the refrigeration system 103 can be controlled in a targeted manner.

[0099] Specifically, when the ice cubes of the desired shape are small, the refrigeration system 103 can be controlled to cool the installation module 101 at the rated power temperature to reduce energy waste; when the ice cubes of the desired shape are large, the refrigeration system 103 can be controlled to cool the installation module 101 at a lower temperature (i.e., a temperature lower than the temperature corresponding to the rated power) to provide the user with the required ice cubes as quickly as possible.

[0100] In one embodiment of the present invention, the ice-making device 10 further includes: a water inlet device for supplying water to the ice mold assembly 104 magnetically connected to the mounting module 101;

[0101] The main control system is used to control the water injection time of the water inlet device based on the detection results of the chip detection device 107 on the ice mold chip 106.

[0102] In some feasible embodiments, the ice-making device 10 may also include a water inlet device, which can be used to inject water into the ice mold assembly 104 magnetically connected to the mounting module 101; for example, the water inlet device may be connected to a water pipe or a water purification device to provide users with cleaner ice.

[0103] Water purification equipment, also known as water purifiers or water quality purifiers, is a water treatment device that performs deep filtration and purification of water according to usage requirements. Its core technology lies in the filter membrane within the filter cartridge, primarily utilizing ultrafiltration membranes, RO (Reverse Osmosis) membranes, and nanofiltration membranes.

[0104] In some feasible embodiments, after receiving the detection results of the chip detection device 107 for the ice mold chip 106, the main control system can control the water injection time of the water inlet device according to the detection results of the chip detection device 107 for the ice mold chip 106, so as to inject an appropriate amount of water into the ice mold assembly 104 which is magnetically connected to the mounting module 101.

[0105] For example, when the volume of the ice mold corresponding to the shape of the detection result is small, the main control system can control the duration of water injection T1 for the water injection device to inject water into the ice mold assembly 104 magnetically connected to the installation module 101; when the volume of the ice mold corresponding to the shape of the detection result is large, the main control system can control the duration of water injection T2 for the water injection device to inject water into the ice mold assembly 104 magnetically connected to the installation module 101; wherein, T1 < T2, and this embodiment of the present invention does not impose any limitation on this.

[0106] It should be noted that the specific water filling time can be determined based on the volume of the ice mold corresponding to the shape of the ice mold assembly 104 magnetically connected to the installation module 101. This embodiment of the invention does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0107] In one embodiment of the present invention, the ice-making device 10 further includes:

[0108] The prompt module is used to indicate that the ice mold component 104 is not installed;

[0109] The main control system is used to send a prompt to the prompt module indicating that the ice mold component 104 is not installed when the ice mold chip 106 is not detected.

[0110] In some feasible embodiments, the ice-making device 10 may further include a prompting module. This prompting module can be used to prompt the user that the ice mold component 104 is not installed when it fails to be magnetically connected to the installation module. It can be a display device on the ice-making device 10 (e.g., directly displaying whether the ice mold component 104 has been successfully installed on the display interface of the display device), or a module that prompts through light status (e.g., a flashing red light indicates that the ice mold component 104 is not installed, and a flashing green light indicates that the ice mold component 104 is successfully installed), or a module that prompts through sound (e.g., when the ice mold component 104 is successfully installed, a "installed" prompt sound can be played; when the ice mold component 104 is not successfully installed, a "not installed" prompt sound can be played). The embodiments of the present invention do not limit this.

[0111] In some feasible embodiments, when the chip detection device 107 fails to detect the ice mold chip 106, it can send a result indicating that the chip has not been detected to the main control system. Based on this result, when the main control system determines that the chip detection device 107 has not detected the ice mold chip 106, it can send an instruction to the prompting module to indicate that the ice mold component 104 is not installed.

[0112] The prompt module responds to this instruction and can display a prompt indicating that the ice mold component 104 is not installed; for example:

[0113] ① When the prompt module is a display device, the display device can respond to the instruction by displaying the prompt message "Ice mold component 104 is not installed";

[0114] ② When the prompt module is a module that provides prompts through light status, the module can flash a red light in response to this command;

[0115] ③ When the prompt module is a module that provides prompts through sound, the module can respond to the instruction by playing a "not installed" prompt sound. This embodiment of the invention does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0116] In one embodiment of the present invention, an ice mold component 104 corresponds to an ice mold of a certain shape.

[0117] In some feasible embodiments, one ice mold component 104 can correspond to one shape of ice mold; that is, when one ice mold component 104 is magnetically connected to the mounting module 101, the one ice mold component 104 can provide the user with an ice cube of a certain shape; by purchasing ice mold components 104 of different shapes to be magnetically connected to the mounting module 101, the user can obtain ice cubes of different shapes. Compared with purchasing different models of ice-making equipment 10, implementing the embodiments of the present invention can reduce the cost for users to obtain ice cubes of different shapes using ice-making equipment 10.

[0118] In another embodiment of the present invention, at least one ice mold component 104 constitutes an ice mold, and the control command corresponds to an ice mold of a certain shape.

[0119] Ice-making equipment 10 may also include:

[0120] The main control system is connected to the first magnetic component 102; the main control system is used to change the magnetism of some sub-components in the first magnetic component 102 according to control commands.

[0121] In some feasible embodiments, the first magnetic component 102 may be composed of multiple sub-components. The main control system may be used to change the magnetism of some of the sub-components in the first magnetic component 102, so that some of the sub-components are magnetic while others are not. For example, these multiple sub-components may be evenly distributed on the mounting module 101, for example, arranged in a matrix on the mounting module 101.

[0122] At least one ice mold component 104 can form an ice mold of a certain shape; for example, one ice mold component 104 can correspond to at least one end face, and when multiple ice mold components 104 are magnetically connected to the mounting module 101 at the same time, the end faces corresponding to the multiple ice mold components 104 can form an ice mold of a certain shape.

[0123] In some feasible embodiments, when a user needs an ice cube of a certain shape, he / she can input a control command for the ice mold corresponding to that shape; in response to the control command, the main control system can control the first magnetic component 102 connected to the main control system to change the magnetism of some of its sub-components, so that some of the sub-components are magnetic and the other sub-components are not magnetic.

[0124] For example, the magnetic sub-component can magnetically hold the second magnetic component 105, thereby making at least one ice mold assembly 104 magnetically connected to the mounting module 101; by setting the position of the magnetic sub-component, at least one ice mold assembly 104 magnetically connected to the mounting module 101 can form an ice mold with the shape corresponding to the control command with the mounting module 101.

[0125] After at least one ice mold component 104 is magnetically connected to the mounting module 101, the main control system can obtain the detection result of the chip detection device 107 for the ice mold chip 106 currently magnetically connected to the mounting module 101 from the chip detection device 107; then, the main control system can control the refrigeration system 103 and the water inlet device based on the detection result, and the embodiments of the present invention do not limit this.

[0126] In other feasible embodiments, an ice mold is formed by at least one ice mold component 104; the at least one ice mold component 104 can also be installed by the user on the mounting module 101 so that the user can assemble ice molds of different shapes according to their own needs to meet the user's personalized needs.

[0127] Reference Figure 4aThe diagram illustrates a step flowchart of a control method for an ice-making device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The ice-making device may include an installation module, multiple ice mold components, and a main control system. The installation module is provided with a first magnetic component and is connected to the refrigeration system of the ice-making device. Each ice mold component is provided with a second magnetic component. Each ice mold component is provided with a corresponding ice mold chip. The installation module is provided with a chip detection device.

[0128] The control method for this ice-making equipment may include the following steps:

[0129] Step 401: Obtain the detection results for the ice mold chip from the chip detection device.

[0130] When users need ice blocks of different shapes, they can control the different ice mold components to be magnetically connected to the installation module through the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component.

[0131] As an example, one ice mold component can correspond to one shape of ice mold; that is, when an ice mold component is magnetically connected to the mounting module, that one ice mold component can provide the user with an ice block of a certain shape; by purchasing ice mold components of different shapes and magnetically connecting them to the mounting module, the user can obtain ice blocks of different shapes. In actual use, the user can magnetically connect the ice mold component of the desired shape to the mounting module.

[0132] As another example, at least one ice mold component constitutes an ice mold. When a user needs ice blocks of different shapes, different ice mold components can be magnetically connected to the installation module through a self-assembly method, thereby assembling ice molds of different shapes.

[0133] In some feasible embodiments, each ice mold component may be provided with an ice mold chip corresponding to its shape attributes, and the ice mold chip may store information about the shape attributes corresponding to the ice mold component.

[0134] The mounting module may be equipped with a chip detection device for reading information from the ice mold chip; in some feasible embodiments, when the ice mold component is magnetically connected to the mounting module, the chip detection device in the mounting module can detect the ice mold chip in the ice mold component magnetically connected to the mounting module and obtain the information stored in the ice mold chip.

[0135] After obtaining the information stored in the ice mold chip from the chip, the chip detection device can generate a detection result based on the information and send the detection result to the main control system.

[0136] Step 402: Based on the test results, determine the ice-making mode for the ice-making equipment.

[0137] After receiving the detection results from the chip detection device regarding the ice mold chip, the main control system can determine the ice-making mode of the ice-making equipment based on these results, and then control the ice-making equipment accordingly. For example, the ice-making mode can be for the refrigeration system or for the water inlet device of the ice-making equipment; this embodiment of the invention does not impose any limitations on this.

[0138] Step 403: Control the ice-making equipment according to the ice-making mode.

[0139] Once the ice-making mode for the ice-making equipment is determined, the operation of the ice-making equipment can be controlled based on that mode.

[0140] For example, such as Figure 4b As shown, the chip detection device can detect the ice mold chip and output the detection results to the main control system. Based on the detection results, the main control system can determine whether there is an existing ice-making mode that matches the ice mold. If there is, the main control system will start the matching ice-making mode; otherwise, it will continue to match.

[0141] In this embodiment of the invention, the ice-making device may include an installation module, multiple ice mold components, and a main control system. The installation module is equipped with a first magnetic component and is connected to the refrigeration system of the ice-making device. Each ice mold component is equipped with a second magnetic component. Each ice mold component contains a corresponding ice mold chip. The installation module is equipped with a chip detection device. The main control system can obtain the detection results of the ice mold chip from the chip detection device. Based on the detection results, it determines the ice-making mode for the ice-making device and controls the ice-making device according to the ice-making mode. Through this embodiment of the invention, the ice-making device uses a magnetic structure to allow detachable ice mold components to combine with the installation module to form ice molds of different shapes, thereby meeting the user's needs for making ice cubes of different shapes. Users only need to purchase ice mold components of different shapes to combine with the magnetic structure of the installation module to obtain ice cubes of different shapes, resulting in low cost.

[0142] Reference Figure 5 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of another control method for an ice-making device according to an embodiment of the present invention, which may include the following steps:

[0143] Step 501: Receive control commands.

[0144] In some feasible embodiments, when a user needs ice of a certain shape, they can input control commands to the ice-making device. These control commands can be generated by the user performing operations directly on the operating area of ​​the ice-making device, or they can be generated by the user on a mobile terminal and sent to the ice-making device. This embodiment of the invention does not limit this.

[0145] Step 502: According to the control command, change the magnetism of some sub-components in the first magnetic component.

[0146] After receiving the control command, the main control system can respond to the control command and control the first magnetic component on the mounting module; specifically, after receiving the control command, the main control system can first determine the shape of the ice mold corresponding to the control command.

[0147] Then, the main control command can determine, based on the shape of the ice mold, which sub-components in the first magnetic component need to be magnetic and which sub-components need to be non-magnetic; change the magnetism of some sub-components in the first magnetic component, wherein the magnetic sub-components can be magnetic with the second magnetic component in the ice mold assembly, thereby allowing the ice mold assembly to be installed in different positions on the mounting module, and thus, based on the ice mold assembly and the mounting module installed in different positions on the mounting module, an ice mold of the shape required by the user can be assembled.

[0148] Based on this ice mold, ice blocks of the desired shape can be obtained.

[0149] Step 503: Obtain the detection results for the ice mold chip from the chip detection device.

[0150] In some feasible embodiments, after the ice mold assembly and the mounting module are assembled, a chip detection device can be invoked to detect the ice mold chip in the ice mold assembly that is magnetically connected to the mounting module.

[0151] After the chip detection device detects the ice mold chip in the ice mold assembly that is magnetically attached to the mounting module, it can generate the corresponding detection result and send the detection result to the main control system.

[0152] Step 504: The ice-making equipment also includes a water inlet device. Based on the test results, an ice-making mode is generated for the water inlet device.

[0153] In some feasible embodiments, the ice-making device may further include a water inlet device connected to a water inlet pipe or a water purification device; after receiving the detection results, the main control system may generate an ice-making mode for the water inlet device based on the detection results of the chip detection device for the ice mold chip. The ice-making mode may be an ice-making mode for the water injection time of the water inlet device, an ice-making mode for the water inlet volume of the water inlet device, or an ice-making mode for the flow rate of the water inlet device. This embodiment of the invention does not limit this.

[0154] Step 505: Control the water inlet device according to the ice-making mode for the water inlet device.

[0155] After generating an ice-making mode for the water inlet device, the main control system can respond to this ice-making mode by controlling the water inlet device.

[0156] Step 506: If no ice mold chip is detected, a prompt will appear indicating that the ice mold component is not installed.

[0157] In some feasible embodiments, if the chip detection device does not detect the ice mold chip in the ice mold assembly that is magnetically connected to the mounting module, the chip detection device can generate a result indicating that the ice mold chip was not detected and send the result to the main control system.

[0158] When the main control system receives a result indicating that the ice mold chip was not detected from the chip detection device, it can determine that there is a problem with the installation of the current ice mold component. At this time, the main control system can provide a prompt that the ice mold component is not installed. For example, the ice-making equipment may also include a prompt module, which can be used to prompt the user that the ice mold component is not installed when it fails to connect magnetically with the installation module. This module can be a display device on the ice-making equipment (e.g., directly displaying whether the ice mold component has been successfully installed on the display interface of the display device), a module that provides prompts through light status (e.g., a flashing red light indicates that the ice mold component is not installed, and a flashing green light indicates that the ice mold component is successfully installed), or a module that provides prompts through sound (e.g., playing a "installed" prompt sound when the ice mold component is successfully installed; playing a "not installed" prompt sound when the ice mold component is not successfully installed). This embodiment of the invention does not limit this.

[0159] In some feasible embodiments, when the chip detection device fails to detect the ice mold chip, it can send the result of chip failure to the main control system; based on the result, when the main control system determines that the chip detection device has not detected the ice mold chip, it can send an instruction to the prompt module to prompt that the ice mold component is not installed.

[0160] In this embodiment of the invention, a control command is received; according to the control command, the magnetism of some sub-components in the first magnetic component is changed; a detection result for the detection of the ice mold chip is obtained from the chip detection device; the ice-making device also includes a water inlet device, and an ice-making mode for the water inlet device is generated according to the detection result; the water inlet device is controlled according to the ice-making mode for the water inlet device; when no ice mold chip is detected, a prompt is given that the ice mold component is not installed. Through this embodiment of the invention, the ice-making device, through a magnetic structure, allows detachable ice mold components to be combined with the installation module to form ice molds of different shapes, thereby meeting the user's ice-making needs for different shaped ice cubes; the user only needs to purchase ice mold components of different shapes to combine with the magnetic structure of the installation module to obtain ice cubes of different shapes, which is low in cost.

[0161] In addition, controlling the water inlet device based on the specific shape of the ice mold can improve ice-making efficiency and reduce unnecessary waste of resources.

[0162] Reference Figure 6 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of another control method for an ice-making device according to an embodiment of the present invention, which may include the following steps:

[0163] Step 601: Receive control commands.

[0164] In some feasible embodiments, when a user needs ice of a certain shape, they can input control commands to the ice-making device.

[0165] Step 602: According to the control command, change the magnetism of some sub-components in the first magnetic component.

[0166] After receiving the control command, the main control system can respond to the control command and control the first magnetic component on the mounting module; specifically, after receiving the control command, the main control system can first determine the shape of the ice mold corresponding to the control command.

[0167] Then, the main control command can determine, based on the shape of the ice mold, which sub-components in the first magnetic component need to be magnetic and which sub-components need to be non-magnetic; change the magnetism of some sub-components in the first magnetic component, wherein the magnetic sub-components can be magnetic with the second magnetic component in the ice mold assembly, thereby allowing the ice mold assembly to be installed in different positions on the mounting module, and thus, based on the ice mold assembly and the mounting module installed in different positions on the mounting module, an ice mold of the shape required by the user can be assembled.

[0168] Step 603: Obtain the detection results for the ice mold chip from the chip detection device.

[0169] In some feasible embodiments, after the ice mold assembly and the mounting module are assembled, a chip detection device can be invoked to detect the ice mold chip in the ice mold assembly that is magnetically connected to the mounting module.

[0170] After the chip detection device detects the ice mold chip in the ice mold assembly that is magnetically attached to the mounting module, it can generate the corresponding detection result and send the detection result to the main control system.

[0171] Step 604: Determine the target water injection volume based on the test results.

[0172] In some feasible embodiments, the ice-making equipment may also include a water inlet device connected to a water inlet pipe or a water purification device; after receiving the detection results, the main control system can control the water injection time of the water inlet device according to the detection results of the chip detection device for the ice mold chip, so as to inject an appropriate amount of water into the ice mold component magnetically connected to the mounting module.

[0173] For example, when the volume of the ice mold corresponding to the shape of the detection result is small, the main control system can control the duration of water injection T1 for the water injection device to inject water into the ice mold assembly magnetically connected to the installation module; when the volume of the ice mold corresponding to the shape of the detection result is large, the main control system can control the duration of water injection T2 for the water injection device to inject water into the ice mold assembly magnetically connected to the installation module; wherein, T1 < T2, the embodiments of the present invention do not impose any limitations on this.

[0174] Specifically, after receiving the detection results, the main control system can first determine the shape of the ice mold currently formed by the ice mold components and the installation module based on the detection results; then, it can determine the volume of the ice mold with that shape.

[0175] Based on the volume of the ice mold, the amount of water to be injected into it can be determined, thus defining the target water volume. It should be noted that since water and ice have different densities, the volume increase when water turns into ice must be considered when determining the target water volume to avoid the final ice block not being the desired shape due to increased volume.

[0176] Step 605: Generate an ice-making mode for the water inlet device based on the target water injection volume.

[0177] After determining the target water injection volume, the main control system can generate an ice-making mode for the water inlet device based on the target water injection volume.

[0178] Step 606: Control the water inlet device according to the ice-making mode for the water inlet device.

[0179] After generating an ice-making mode for the water inlet device, the main control system can control the water inlet device based on this ice-making mode to inject water into the ice mold, which consists of the mounting module and the ice mold assembly currently magnetically connected to the mounting module.

[0180] For example, the main control system can control the water injection time of the water inlet device based on the target water injection volume, or it can control the water injection time and water injection flow rate of the water inlet device based on the target water injection volume. This embodiment of the invention does not limit this.

[0181] Step 607: If no ice mold chip is detected, a prompt will appear indicating that the ice mold component is not installed.

[0182] In some feasible embodiments, if the chip detection device does not detect the ice mold chip in the ice mold assembly that is magnetically connected to the mounting module, the chip detection device can generate a result indicating that the ice mold chip was not detected and send the result to the main control system.

[0183] When the main control system receives a result from the chip detection device indicating that the ice mold chip has not been detected, it can determine that there is a problem with the installation of the current ice mold component; at this time, the main control system can issue a prompt that the ice mold component is not installed.

[0184] In this embodiment of the invention, a control command is received; according to the control command, the magnetism of some sub-components in the first magnetic component is changed; the detection result for the ice mold chip detection is obtained from the chip detection device; the target water injection volume is determined according to the detection result; an ice-making mode for the water inlet device is generated according to the target water injection volume; the water inlet device is controlled according to the ice-making mode for the water inlet device; and a prompt is given that the ice mold component is not installed when no ice mold chip is detected. Through this embodiment of the invention, the ice-making device uses a magnetic structure to allow detachable ice mold components to be combined with the installation module to form ice molds of different shapes, thereby meeting the user's needs for making ice cubes of different shapes; users only need to purchase ice mold components of different shapes to combine with the magnetic structure of the installation module to obtain ice cubes of different shapes, which is low in cost.

[0185] In addition, controlling the water inlet device based on the specific shape of the ice mold can improve ice-making efficiency and reduce unnecessary waste of resources.

[0186] Reference Figure 7 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of another control method for an ice-making device according to an embodiment of the present invention, which may include the following steps:

[0187] Step 701: Receive control commands.

[0188] In some feasible embodiments, when a user needs ice of a certain shape, they can input control commands to the ice-making device.

[0189] Step 702: According to the control command, change the magnetism of some sub-components in the first magnetic component.

[0190] After receiving the control command, the main control system can respond to the control command and control the first magnetic component on the mounting module; specifically, after receiving the control command, the main control system can first determine the shape of the ice mold corresponding to the control command.

[0191] Then, the main control command can determine, based on the shape of the ice mold, which sub-components in the first magnetic component need to be magnetic and which sub-components need to be non-magnetic; change the magnetism of some sub-components in the first magnetic component, wherein the magnetic sub-components can be magnetic with the second magnetic component in the ice mold assembly, thereby allowing the ice mold assembly to be installed in different positions on the mounting module, and thus, based on the ice mold assembly and the mounting module installed in different positions on the mounting module, an ice mold of the shape required by the user can be assembled.

[0192] Step 703: Obtain the detection results for the ice mold chip from the chip detection device.

[0193] In some feasible embodiments, after the ice mold assembly and the mounting module are assembled, a chip detection device can be invoked to detect the ice mold chip in the ice mold assembly that is magnetically connected to the mounting module.

[0194] After the chip detection device detects the ice mold chip in the ice mold assembly that is magnetically attached to the mounting module, it can generate the corresponding detection result and send the detection result to the main control system.

[0195] Step 704: Based on the test results, generate an ice-making mode for the refrigeration system.

[0196] After receiving the detection results from the chip detection device regarding the ice mold chip, the main control system can determine the ice-making mode of the refrigeration system based on these results.

[0197] Step 705: Control the refrigeration system according to the ice-making mode for the water inlet device.

[0198] After generating an ice-making mode for the refrigeration system, the main control system can control the refrigeration system based on this mode. For example, when the ice block of the desired shape is small, the refrigeration system can be controlled to cool the installation module at the rated power temperature to reduce energy waste. When the ice block of the desired shape is large, the refrigeration system can be controlled to cool the installation module at a lower temperature (i.e., a temperature lower than the temperature corresponding to the rated power) to provide the user with the required ice block as quickly as possible.

[0199] Step 706: If no ice mold chip is detected, a prompt will appear indicating that the ice mold component is not installed.

[0200] In some feasible embodiments, if the chip detection device does not detect the ice mold chip in the ice mold assembly that is magnetically connected to the mounting module, the chip detection device can generate a result indicating that the ice mold chip was not detected and send the result to the main control system.

[0201] When the main control system receives a result from the chip detection device indicating that the ice mold chip has not been detected, it can determine that there is a problem with the installation of the current ice mold component; at this time, the main control system can issue a prompt that the ice mold component is not installed.

[0202] In this embodiment of the invention, a control command is received; according to the control command, the magnetism of some sub-components in the first magnetic component is changed; the detection result for the ice mold chip detection is obtained from the chip detection device; based on the detection result, an ice-making mode for the refrigeration system is generated; the refrigeration system is controlled according to the ice-making mode for the water inlet device; when no ice mold chip is detected, a prompt is given indicating that the ice mold component is not installed. Through this embodiment of the invention, the ice-making device uses a magnetic structure to allow detachable ice mold components to combine with the installation module to form ice molds of different shapes, thereby meeting the user's needs for making ice cubes of different shapes; users only need to purchase ice mold components of different shapes to combine with the magnetic structure of the installation module to obtain ice cubes of different shapes, resulting in low cost.

[0203] In addition, controlling the refrigeration system based on the specific shape of the ice mold can improve ice-making efficiency and reduce unnecessary waste of resources.
