Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ice maker fault judgment, and in particular to a judgment method for detecting an ice discharging connection fault of an ice maker. Background Art
[0002] At present, the main method for checking the ice-discharging connection failure of ice-making machines is to observe with the naked eye. However, this method has obvious defects. First, the results of naked-eye observation are often affected by human factors, and the accuracy of judgment is difficult to guarantee. Secondly, the ice connection situations are varied and occur by chance, which is difficult to fully capture and accurately judge with the naked eye alone. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a more accurate and reliable method to detect ice-discharging connection failure of ice-making machines. Summary of the invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned background technical problems and to provide a method for detecting ice-discharging connection failure of an ice-making machine.
[0004] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0005] A method for detecting an ice-discharging connection failure of an ice-making machine includes installing a temperature sensor at an ice-turning box of the ice-making machine, and further includes the following steps:
[0006] Step 1: When the ice maker starts to produce ice, record the temperature of the ice box as X;
[0007] Step 2: Record the temperature of the ice turning box in different states according to the ice output situation: if the ice output is fully connected, record the temperature as X1; if the ice output is partially connected, record the temperature as X2; if the ice output is not connected, record the temperature as X3;
[0008] Step 3: Select the partial connection temperature X2 as the judgment point, compare the relationship between the initial temperature X and X2, so as to determine the final temperature state of the ice turning box, and finally judge the state of the ice when it is frozen.
[0009] As a further solution of the present invention: in step three, if X is greater than X2, the sensor temperature is X1 at this time; if X is less than X2, the sensor temperature is X3 at this time; if X is equal to X2, the sensor temperature is X2 at this time.
[0010] As a further solution of the present invention: the temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature change of the ice turning box in the ice discharging process in real time.
[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: during the ice turning process, in order to prevent the ice cubes from sticking to the bottom of the box, the box is heated, and the ice cubes at the bottom melt into water and rise up. The connection status of the ice cubes can be judged based on whether the water overflows.
[0012] As a further solution of the present invention: if the water overflows completely, the ice will form a connection; if the water overflows partially, the ice will form a partial connection; if the water does not overflow, the ice will not form a connection; the process of water freezing will release heat.
[0013] As a further solution of the present invention: the connection status of the ice cubes is determined by analyzing the heat released during the water freezing process, wherein less heat is released when not connected, more heat is released when partially connected, and the most heat is released when fully connected.
[0014] As a further solution of the present invention: when no ice connection occurs, it can be judged that there is less water at the bottom, and the heat released to form a complete ice block is less.
[0015] As a further solution of the present invention: when partial ice connection occurs, it can be determined that water in a portion of the ice tray has overflowed, and more heat is released when ice cubes are formed.
[0016] As a further solution of the present invention: when complete ice connection occurs, it can be determined that the water in the ice box has overflowed, and the heat released when forming ice cubes is the most.
[0017] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0018] The present invention detects whether ice cubes are connected when ice is produced through the actual temperature of the ice turning box temperature sensor.
[0019] The temperature sensor monitors the temperature changes of the ice turning box in the ice discharging process in real time, and combined with the preset temperature judgment point, the connection status of the ice cubes can be accurately judged, avoiding interference from human factors and improving the accuracy of judgment.
[0020] The method of the present invention does not require long-term manual observation, and only needs to record key temperature points during the ice-out process to quickly determine the connection status of the ice-out, thereby greatly improving the detection efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0021] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the process of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] For example, see Figure 1 As shown, the present invention is a method for detecting ice-discharging connection failure of an ice-making machine, comprising installing a temperature sensor at an ice-turning box of the ice-making machine, and further comprising the following steps:
[0025] Step 1: When the ice maker starts to produce ice, record the temperature of the ice box as X;
[0026] Step 2: Record the temperature of the ice turning box in different states according to the ice output situation: if the ice output is fully connected, record the temperature as X1; if the ice output is partially connected, record the temperature as X2; if the ice output is not connected, record the temperature as X3;
[0027] Step 3: Select the partial connection temperature X2 as the judgment point, compare the relationship between the initial temperature X and X2, so as to determine the final temperature state of the ice turning box, and finally judge the state of the ice when it is frozen.
[0028] For example 2, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the present invention is a method for detecting ice-discharging connection failure of an ice-making machine, comprising installing a temperature sensor at an ice-turning box of the ice-making machine, and further comprising the following steps:
[0029] Step 1: When the ice maker starts to produce ice, record the temperature of the ice box as X;
[0030] Step 2: Record the temperature of the ice turning box in different states according to the ice output situation: if the ice output is fully connected, record the temperature as X1; if the ice output is partially connected, record the temperature as X2; if the ice output is not connected, record the temperature as X3;
[0031] Step 3: Select the partial connection temperature X2 as the judgment point, compare the relationship between the initial temperature X and X2, so as to determine the final temperature state of the ice turning box, and finally judge the state of the ice when it is frozen. If X is greater than X2, the sensor temperature is X1 at this time; if X is less than X2, the sensor temperature is X3 at this time; if X is equal to X2, the sensor temperature is X2 at this time.
[0032] For example 3, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the present invention is a method for detecting ice-discharging connection failure of an ice-making machine, comprising installing a temperature sensor at an ice-turning box of the ice-making machine, and further comprising the following steps:
[0033] Step 1: When the ice maker starts to produce ice, record the temperature of the ice box as X;
[0034] Step 2: Record the temperature of the ice turning box in different states according to the ice output situation: if the ice output is fully connected, record the temperature as X1; if the ice output is partially connected, record the temperature as X2; if the ice output is not connected, record the temperature as X3;
[0035] Step 3: Select the partial connection temperature X2 as the judgment point, compare the relationship between the initial temperature X and X2, so as to determine the final temperature state of the ice turning box, and finally judge the state of the ice when it is frozen. If X is greater than X2, the sensor temperature is X1 at this time; if X is less than X2, the sensor temperature is X3 at this time; if X is equal to X2, the sensor temperature is X2 at this time.
[0036] The temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature change of the ice turning box in the ice discharging process in real time.
[0037] During the ice turning process, the bottom of the box will be heated to prevent it from sticking to the ice. The ice at the bottom will melt into water and rise. The connection of the ice can be judged by whether the water overflows.
[0038] Example 4, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the present invention is a method for detecting ice-discharging connection failure of an ice-making machine, comprising installing a temperature sensor at an ice-turning box of the ice-making machine, and further comprising the following steps:
[0039] Step 1: When the ice maker starts to produce ice, record the temperature of the ice box as X;
[0040] Step 2: Record the temperature of the ice turning box in different states according to the ice output situation: if the ice output is fully connected, record the temperature as X1; if the ice output is partially connected, record the temperature as X2; if the ice output is not connected, record the temperature as X3;
[0041] Step 3: Select the partial connection temperature X2 as the judgment point, compare the relationship between the initial temperature X and X2, so as to determine the final temperature state of the ice turning box, and finally judge the state of the ice when it is frozen. If X is greater than X2, the sensor temperature is X1 at this time; if X is less than X2, the sensor temperature is X3 at this time; if X is equal to X2, the sensor temperature is X2 at this time.
[0042] The temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature change of the ice turning box in the ice discharging process in real time.
[0043] During the ice turning process, the ice is heated to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the box. The ice at the bottom melts and turns into water and rises. The connection of the ice can be judged by whether the water overflows. If the water overflows completely, the ice will be connected. If the water overflows partially, the ice will be partially connected. If the water does not overflow, the ice will not be connected. The process of water freezing releases heat. The connection of the ice can be judged by analyzing the heat released during the freezing process. When it is not connected, the heat released is less, when it is partially connected, the heat released is more, and when it is fully connected, the heat released is the most.
[0044] In another embodiment, when there is no ice connection, it can be determined that the water at the bottom is less, and the heat released when forming a complete ice cube is less. When there is a partial ice connection, it can be determined that some ice cubes have overflowed, and the heat released when forming ice cubes is more. When there is a complete ice connection, it can be determined that the water in the ice box has overflowed, and the heat released when forming ice cubes is the most.
[0045] The above is a detailed description of an embodiment of the present invention, but the content is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and cannot be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made according to the scope of application of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
