[0002] As people's living standards improve, the uses and scope of ice makers, whether for home or commercial use, are constantly expanding. Ice makers are a type of machine used to make ice cubes, mainly based on the circulation of refrigerants and the freezing process of water.

[0003] In the related art, the ice maker is provided with a control panel having control buttons or an operation area, and the user mainly controls the operation of the ice maker by interacting with the control panel. However, controlling the start and stop of the ice maker and other operating conditions only by interacting with the control panel cannot meet people's pursuit of intelligence for household motors such as ice makers.

[0004] In people's daily life, there are cases where people forget to turn off the ice maker, or leave the ice maker in standby mode all the time. The continuous standby state of the ice maker consumes electricity, and this part of electricity is regarded as waste when ice making is not needed. Therefore, the ice maker wastes electricity. Summary of the invention

[0005] The embodiments of the present application provide an ice maker control method, an ice maker, and a storage medium, which can improve the energy-saving characteristics of the ice maker and improve the intelligence level of the ice maker.

[0006] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a control method, which is applied to an ice maker, and the method includes:

[0007] Obtaining a lumen value within a preset range of the ice maker;

[0008] The working state of the power supply of the ice maker is controlled based on the lumen value. If the working state is an on state and the lumen value is less than a first preset threshold value, the power supply is controlled to enter an off state.

[0009] In one embodiment, the operating state of controlling the power supply of the ice maker based on the lumen value further includes:

[0010] If the working state is the off state and the lumen value is greater than a second preset threshold, the power supply is controlled to enter the on state from the off state.

[0011] In one embodiment, the first preset threshold is the same as the second preset threshold or the first preset threshold is smaller than the second preset threshold.

[0012] In one embodiment, before obtaining the lumen value within a preset range of the ice maker, the method further includes:

[0013] If the lumen monitoring mode of the ice maker is in an on state, the lumen value is obtained.

[0014] In one embodiment, before obtaining the lumen value of the ice maker within a preset range, the method further includes:

[0015] A threshold adjustment signal for the ice maker is obtained, and a value of the first preset threshold is adjusted according to the threshold adjustment signal.

[0016] In one embodiment, after obtaining the lumen value within a preset range of the ice maker, the method further includes:

[0017] If an ice making end response signal of the ice maker is obtained, the working state of the power supply is controlled based on the lumen value.

[0018] In one embodiment, the method further comprises:

[0019] If it is detected that the ice maker is turned on, a historical ice making mode of the ice maker is obtained, and the historical ice making mode is determined as the current ice making mode of the ice maker.

[0020] In one embodiment, before obtaining the lumen value within a preset range of the ice maker, the control method further includes:

[0021] Acquire ice making reservation information for the ice maker, wherein the ice making reservation information includes a reservation time and a reservation ice taking type set by a user;

[0022] The ice-making start time of the ice-maker is determined according to the reservation information.

[0023] In one embodiment, determining the ice-making start time of the ice-maker according to the reservation information includes:

[0024] Obtaining the ambient temperature information corresponding to the reservation time;

[0025] Determining ice making time based on the ice making reservation information and the ambient temperature information;

[0026] The ice-making start time is determined based on the ice-making duration and the current time.

[0027] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an ice maker, the ice maker comprising:

[0028] A lumen value acquisition unit, used to acquire a lumen value within a preset range of the ice maker;

[0029] A power control unit is used to control the operating state of the power supply of the ice maker based on the lumen value, and is used to control the power supply to enter an off state if the operating state is an on state and the lumen value is less than a first preset threshold value.

[0030] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program, and when the computer program is executed, the ice maker control method as described in any one of the above items is implemented.

[0031] In the above technical solution, if it is detected that the working state of the power supply of the ice maker is in the on state, and the lumen value is lower than the first preset threshold value, the control power supply enters the off state and the ice maker stops working. By comparing the obtained lumen value with the first preset threshold value, if the lumen value is lower than the first preset threshold value, it means that the lumen value of the environment around the ice maker is low, the environment is in a dark state, and the user is less likely to use the ice maker. In this case, the working state of the control power supply is switched from the on state to the off state. On the one hand, it can reduce the power loss caused by the standby state of the ice maker, making the ice maker more energy-efficient; on the other hand, it can avoid the noise caused by the ice maker running at a time when the user does not need it, affecting the user's rest, improving the intelligence of the ice maker, and improving the user experience.

[0043] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the following part will further describe the embodiments of the present application in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0044] When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Instead, they are only examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the attached claims.

"And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0046] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in this specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0047] In the related art, the ice maker is provided with a control panel, which has control buttons or an operation area. The user mainly controls the operation of the ice maker by interacting with the control panel. In daily life, people sometimes forget to turn off the ice maker or leave it in standby mode. The continuous standby mode of the ice maker consumes electric energy. When ice making is not needed, this part of the electric energy is considered as a waste. Therefore, the ice maker wastes electric energy.

[0048] In order to improve the energy-saving characteristics of the ice maker and improve the intelligence level of the ice maker, the embodiment of the present application proposes a control method for an ice maker. The executor of the control method for the ice maker is the ice maker, which are described in detail below. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments.

[0049] The ice making machine proposed in the embodiment of the present application includes a water supply module, an ice making module and an electric control module. The water supply module is used to supply water to the ice making module for ice making, and the electric control module is used to control the operation of the ice making module and the water supply module. Optionally, the water supply module may be provided with a water tank to realize water supply by adding water; or the water supply module may also be directly connected to an external water source through a pipeline, and provided with a water supply valve or a water pump, and perform water supply operation under the control of the electric control module. Among them, the water source connected to the water supply module may be pure water, or a filter device is provided in the water supply module to filter the water flowing through the filter device to ensure hygiene. The ice making module includes an inner tank and an ice making system. The water supply module is used to supply water to the inner tank, and part of the ice making system is used to be arranged in the inner tank and used to exchange heat with the water in the inner tank to make ice cubes. For example, the ice making system includes a compressor, a condenser and an evaporator. By circulating water through the evaporator, the compressor operates and goes through processes such as suction, compression, exhaust, condensation, and throttling, and finally evaporates in the evaporator at a low temperature to absorb heat and vaporize. Water continuously condenses into an ice layer on the surface of the low-temperature evaporator. When the ice layer condenses to a certain thickness, the evaporation temperature of the refrigerant reaches the set temperature of the temperature control. At this time, the defrosting solenoid valve is turned on, and the heat pump is used to defrost, and then the cycle process is entered again. The electric control module is used to realize the overall control of the ice maker, including power control and operation mode control. Specifically, the electric control module includes an electrically connected control panel and a power control board. The control panel is provided with an indicator light and a command control part. The indicator light is used to remind the user of the current operation mode of the ice maker, the power connection status and other information, and the command control part is for user interaction to control the water supply module and the ice making module. For example, the command control part can be a physical button set on the panel, or it can be a touch area formed on the touch screen, and the user inputs the command by pressing or touching. The user can control the size of ice making, the on-off control of the power supply, etc. by inputting commands, which will not be elaborated here. It can be understood that the power control board can be used to cut off or connect the power of the ice maker.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the ice maker is also equipped with a light sensor, which can be used to detect the lumen value of the light source. Lumen value is a unit of measurement of visible light energy from a light source. The higher the lumen value, the brighter the light source is under the same conditions, and vice versa. Exemplarily, the light sensor can be a sensor such as a light flux meter.

[0051] The following will be combined Figure 1-Figure 8 , a control method for an ice maker provided in an embodiment of the present application is introduced in detail.

[0052] Based on the above situation, the present application embodiment proposes a control method for an ice maker. Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a control method for an ice maker provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps S10 to S20.

[0053] S10, obtaining a lumen value within a preset range of the ice maker.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, based on the light sensor equipped with the ice maker, the light sensor can be used to detect the lumen value of the light source. By configuring the parameters, position, etc. of the light sensor, the light sensor can obtain the lumen value within the preset range of the ice maker. For example, by setting the light sensor at the top of the ice maker, the parameters of the visible light energy of the light source in the space at the top of the ice maker can be obtained. According to the performance of the light sensor, the preset range is the space within the detection performance range of the light sensor at the top of the ice maker. Of course, by setting multiple light sensors at multiple locations of the ice maker, the parameters of the visible light energy in a more comprehensive space around the ice maker can be detected, and by jointly analyzing the signals of multiple light sensors, the accuracy of judging the visual ambient light conditions within the preset range of the ice maker can be improved. It can be understood that the preset range of the ice maker in the embodiment of the present application should be able to fully reflect the environment of the user's activities. For example, when the ice maker is placed indoors, the preset range can be configured at least as the range from the top of the ice maker to the ceiling. In this way, by detecting the lumen value of this part, the ambient light level of the user's activity space can be reflected, which is convenient for controlling the ice maker.

[0055] S20, controlling the working state of the power supply of the ice maker based on the lumen value, if the working state is the on state and the lumen value is less than the first preset threshold, controlling the power supply to enter the off state.

[0056] It is understandable that when the lumen value is high, the ambient light brightness is high, corresponding to daytime or well-lit indoor environments, and when the lumen value is low, the ambient light brightness is low, corresponding to nighttime or insufficiently lit indoor environments. During the daytime or in an indoor environment with sufficient light, user activities are relatively active, and the possibility of using the ice maker is high, and the ice maker remains started or on standby; while at night or in an indoor environment with insufficient light, the user is more likely to be in a resting state, and the possibility of using the ice maker is low. Under the control of the power control module, the working state of the power supply of the ice maker includes at least two states: an on state and an off state. It is understandable that in the on state, the ice maker is powered on and can perform ice-making operations, and in the off state, the ice maker stops working. Among them, when the ice maker remains started or on standby, the working state of the power supply is the on state.

[0057] Therefore, in this embodiment, if it is detected that the working state of the power supply of the ice maker is on and the lumen value is lower than the first preset threshold, the control power supply enters the off state and the ice maker stops working. The first preset threshold may be preset by the system or set by the user, and there is no requirement for this. For example, the first preset threshold may be the lumen value measured in the environment of the preset range of the ice maker without light or with less light source. The real-time lumen value obtained by the light sensor is compared with the first preset threshold. If the lumen value is lower than the first preset threshold, it means that the lumen value of the environment of the preset range of the ice maker is low, the environment is in a dark state, and the user is less likely to use the ice maker. In this case, the working state of the control power supply is switched from the on state to the off state. On the one hand, it can reduce the power consumption caused by the standby of the ice maker, making the ice maker more energy-efficient; on the other hand, it can avoid the noise caused by the ice maker running when the user does not need it, affecting the user's rest, improving the intelligence of the ice maker, and improving the user experience.

[0058] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of an ice making machine control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps S30.

[0059] In one embodiment, controlling the working state of the power supply of the ice maker based on the lumen value further includes:

[0060] S30, if the working state is the off state and the lumen value is greater than the second preset threshold, the power supply is controlled to enter the on state from the off state.

[0061] In addition to controlling the working state of the power supply of the ice maker to switch from the on state to the off state according to the lumen value, this embodiment introduces controlling the working state of the power supply of the ice maker to switch from the off state to the on state according to the lumen value of the environment within the preset range of the ice maker. It can be understood that the main power consumption and noise of the ice maker come from the ice making module. When the working state of the power supply is in the off state, the water supply module and the ice making module cannot obtain electric energy, and the optical sensor can be powered normally. In other words, when the water supply module and the ice making module are not working, the optical sensor can work normally.

[0062] Of course, the optical sensor may also obtain electrical energy using a power supply device independent of the water supply module and the ice making module, such as a battery.

[0063] In this embodiment, if it is detected that the working state of the power supply of the ice maker is off and the lumen value is higher than the second preset threshold, the power supply is controlled to enter the on state, and the ice maker is in standby or starts to work. The second preset threshold may be preset by the system or set by the user, and there is no requirement for this. For example, the second preset threshold may be the lumen value measured in an environment within a preset range of the ice maker under sufficient lighting conditions. The real-time lumen value obtained by the light sensor is compared with the second preset threshold. If the lumen value is higher than the second preset threshold, it means that the lumen value of the environment within the preset range of the ice maker is high, the environment is in a brighter state, and the user is more likely to use the ice maker.

[0064] Since some ice makers take a long time to make ice after being powered on, the power supply can be controlled to be on when there is sufficient light and the user is more likely to use the ice maker, and the ice maker can be put into standby mode in advance, thereby shortening the waiting time for the user to make ice, further making the ice maker more intelligent and providing a better user experience.

[0065] Optionally, the first preset threshold is the same as the second preset threshold, and the automatic switching of the working state of the power supply of the ice maker is based on the same standard. When the lighting conditions in the preset range of the ice maker are relatively fixed, the duration of the working state of the power supply of the ice maker is relatively stable. Of course, the first preset threshold can also be less than the second preset threshold, that is, when the environment is bright enough, the working state of the power supply of the ice maker is switched from the off state to the on state, and when the environment is dark enough, the working state of the power supply of the ice maker is switched from the on state to the off state. In this way, a clearer judgment standard enables the ice maker to be compatible with more diverse environments for intelligent control.

[0066] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of an ice making machine control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps S40.

[0067] In one embodiment, before obtaining the lumen value within a preset range of the ice maker, the method further includes:

[0068] S40: If the lumen monitoring mode of the ice maker is in the on state, obtain the lumen value.

[0069] The ice maker of the embodiment of the present application provides an on / off option for the lumen detection mode. Optionally, the on / off option for the lumen detection mode may be presented in the form of a button. When the user presses the button, the lumen monitoring mode of the ice maker is in the on state, and the step of obtaining the lumen value is performed; when the corresponding button is pressed again, the lumen monitoring mode is turned off, which is convenient for the user to control the working state of the power supply. Of course, in some embodiments in which the ice maker is wirelessly connected to a mobile terminal, the on / off option for the lumen detection mode may be presented in the form of a switch option of the mobile terminal, and the user can control the mobile terminal box to send a signal to the ice maker to turn on or off the lumen monitoring mode. Exemplarily, the mobile terminal is a remote control or a mobile phone.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment, before obtaining the lumen value within a preset range of the ice maker, the method further includes:

[0071] S50, obtaining a threshold adjustment signal for the ice maker, and adjusting the value of the first preset threshold according to the threshold adjustment signal.

[0072] In this embodiment, the user can adjust the value of the first preset threshold value according to their own needs. For example, when the preset range of the ice maker changes, the first preset threshold value needs to be reset to meet the actual work and rest of the user. Among them, the ice maker provides a threshold adjustment option, and the threshold adjustment option can be presented in the form of a button on the control panel. The user adjusts the threshold when pressing the corresponding button, and generates an upward adjustment signal and a downward adjustment signal through the button cooperation. The threshold adjustment signal includes an upward adjustment signal and a downward adjustment signal, and the value of the first preset threshold value of the threshold adjustment signal is adjusted up or down accordingly. Of course, in some embodiments in which the ice maker is wirelessly connected to the mobile terminal, the user can send a threshold adjustment signal to the ice maker by controlling the mobile terminal to adjust the value of the first preset threshold value. Exemplarily, the mobile terminal is a remote control or a mobile phone.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 5 In one embodiment, after obtaining the lumen value within a preset range of the ice maker, the method further includes:

[0074] S101: If an ice making end response signal of the ice maker is obtained, the working state of the power supply is controlled based on the lumen value.

[0075] In this embodiment, the ice-making module sends an ice-making end response signal after completing an ice-making task. When the ice-making mode is working, it indicates that the user has ice-making needs, and the ice-making should be responded to first by the user's ice-making needs. After the ice-making is completed, the working state of the power supply is controlled according to the lumen value, thereby ensuring the ice-making needs of the user and improving the energy saving of the ice-making machine. This not only further improves the intelligence of the ice-making machine and improves the user experience, but also avoids the failure caused by forcibly cutting off the power supply during the ice-making process of the ice-making machine, thereby improving the reliability of the ice-making machine.

[0076] Furthermore, please combine Figure 6 In one embodiment, the method further comprises:

[0077] S60: If it is detected that the ice maker is turned on, a historical ice making mode of the ice maker is obtained, and the historical ice making mode is determined as the current ice making mode of the ice maker.

[0078] In this embodiment, the ice maker has two ice making modes, a large ice mode and a small ice mode. The ice cubes in the two ice making modes are different in size and the time required is also different. The historical ice making mode is the ice making mode that was last run before the power supply working state is switched from the on state to the off state, which is stored in the ice maker. After the ice maker is turned on, the current operating mode of the ice maker is still the ice making mode that was run before it was turned off, so that the ice maker works consistently before and after, avoiding the user from changing the mode repeatedly, and improving the user experience.

[0079] Please combine Figure 7 , Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of an ice making machine control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps S70 and S80:

[0080] S70, obtaining ice making reservation information for the ice maker, where the ice making reservation information includes a reservation time and a reservation ice collection type set by a user;

[0081] The ice maker of this embodiment provides a reservation function. The user can obtain a specific type of ice cubes at a specific time by inputting ice making reservation information in advance. That is to say, the ice making reservation information includes the reservation time and the reservation ice collection type set by the user. The user can set the reservation time and the reservation ice collection type through the control panel or the mobile terminal, which will not be described in detail here. Among them, the reservation ice collection type includes large ice and small ice. The ice maker can run different ice making modes according to the reservation ice collection type, such as running the large ice mode or the small ice mode accordingly. In this way, the ice maker has richer functions, improves the intelligence and ease of use of the ice maker, and improves the user experience.

[0082] S80: Determine an ice-making start time of the ice-maker according to the reservation information.

[0083] For different ice-making modes, the time required for the ice-maker to make the corresponding ice is different. In order to complete ice-making at the scheduled time, it is necessary to determine the ice-making start time according to the reservation information so as to start it in advance and ensure that the user can pick up the ice at the scheduled time.

[0084] Please combine the specific Figure 8 In one embodiment, step S80 includes:

[0085] S801, obtaining the ambient temperature information corresponding to the reservation time.

[0086] It is understandable that the ice maker can be connected to the Internet, and after obtaining the reservation time, the ice maker can retrieve the ambient temperature information at the reservation time through the network. Or in some cases where the ambient temperature is relatively stable for a long time, the ice maker regularly downloads the corresponding relationship between the time and the ambient temperature information to the local computer, and obtains the ambient temperature information at the reservation time from the local corresponding relationship after obtaining the reservation time.

[0087] S802: Determine ice making time based on ice making reservation information and ambient temperature information.

[0088] In the same ice-making mode, the ambient temperature affects the ice-making time of the ice-maker. The higher the ambient temperature, the longer the ice-making time. Conversely, the lower the ambient temperature, the shorter the ice-making time. The ice-making mode is divided into large ice mode and small ice mode. The large ice mode has a longer ice-making time, while the small ice mode has a shorter ice-making time. Therefore, the ice-making mode can be determined based on the ice-making reservation information, and then the ice-making time required in the ice-making mode can be determined according to the ambient temperature information.

[0089] S803: Determine an ice-making start time based on the ice-making duration and the current time.

[0090] The ice maker is equipped with a timer. The ice-making start time can be determined by the current time and the required ice-making time. The ice maker is started at the ice-making start time to ensure that the user can get ice at the scheduled time. In this way, the intelligence of the ice maker is improved and the user experience is improved.
