DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0034] The control method of the ice maker and the computer storage medium provided by the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0035] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 , Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of an ice making machine of the present application; Figure 2 It is a first partial schematic diagram of an embodiment of the ice making machine of the present application; Figure 3 is a second partial schematic diagram of an embodiment of the ice making machine of the present application; Figure 4 It is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of an embodiment of an ice-making machine of the present application. The present application provides a control method for an ice-making machine. The control method for an ice-making machine is used to control the ice-making machine 10 to perform cleaning work and ice-making work, etc. The ice-making machine 10 includes an ice-making machine body 101, a pumping assembly 21, a water storage chamber 1111, an equal-level water tank 14, a speed detection assembly (not shown in the figure), and an ice-making evaporator assembly 16, etc. The ice-making machine body 101 provides an installation position for the above-mentioned pumping assembly 21, the water storage chamber 1111, the equal-level water tank 14, the speed detection assembly, and the ice-making evaporator assembly 16, etc. The water storage chamber 1111 can hold a certain amount of water, wherein the water can be added manually, automatically, and added by melting ice cubes in the ice basket assembly 12, etc., but is not limited to the above. The water storage chamber 1111 can be an independent component or a part of the foaming assembly 11. As in the present embodiment, when the water storage chamber 1111 is a part of the foaming component 11, the foaming component 11 includes an inner liner, and the inner liner forms the above-mentioned water storage chamber 1111. The pumping component 21 is connected to the water storage chamber 1111 and the equal-level water tank 14 respectively. The pumping component 21 has a suction effect, and can pump the water in the water storage chamber 1111 into the equal-level water tank 14. Among them, the pumping component 21 can be but not limited to a pumping pump, etc. The equal-level water tank 14 and the ice-making evaporator component 16 can have a communicating vessel principle, that is, the water level in the equal-level water tank 14 is the same as the water level in the ice-making evaporator component 16. The ice-making evaporator component 16 cools and forms ice cubes. The speed detection component is connected to the pumping component 21 for real-time detection of the rotation speed of the pumping component 21. Among them, the speed detection component can be a part of the pumping component 21, or it can be an independent component. As in the present embodiment, the speed detection component is a part of the pumping component 21.

[0036] The control method of the ice maker of the present application includes a cleaning control method. The cleaning control method includes the following steps. Figure 5 , Figure 5 It is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the control method of the ice maker of the present application. It should be noted that the cleaning control method described in this embodiment is not limited to the following steps.

[0037] Step S101: Control the rotation speed detection component to detect the first current rotation speed of the pumping component in real time.

[0038] When the ice maker 10 performs cleaning, the pumping assembly 21 starts to operate and pumps water in the water storage chamber 1111 into the equal-level water tank 14. At this time, the speed detection assembly detects the rotation speed of the pumping assembly 21 in real time, and defines the detection speed of the speed detection assembly as the first current speed.

[0039] Step S102: Determine whether the first current speed is within a first target speed range threshold.

[0040] Among them, the first target speed range threshold value can be but not limited to a set value, and its value size can be limited according to different types of pumping components 21. For example, the first target speed range threshold value can be greater than or equal to 50 rpm, and less than or equal to 245 rpm. The first target speed range threshold value can be but not limited to 50 rpm, 60 rpm, 70 rpm, 80 rpm, 90 rpm, 100 rpm, 110 rpm, 130 rpm, 170 rpm, 180 rpm, 200 rpm, 235 rpm and 245 rpm, etc. Specifically, the first target speed range threshold value can be greater than or equal to 80 rpm, and less than or equal to 235 rpm, etc. In other embodiments, the first target speed range threshold value can also be other numerical values, etc., which are not limited here.

[0041] By judging and comparing whether the first current speed falls within the first target speed range threshold, such as the first current speed is within the first target speed range threshold; or the first current speed is not within the first target speed range threshold.

[0042] Step S103: If the first current speed is within the first target speed range threshold, control the pumping component to run the first water pump target time so that the water storage chamber, the equal-level water tank, the ice-making evaporator component and the water storage chamber form a water circuit circulation in sequence until the pumping component stops running.

[0043] Among them, during the first water pump target time, when the first current speed is always within the first target speed range threshold, the pumping component 21 is always in a pumping state, wherein the water storage chamber 1111, the equal-level water tank 14, the ice-making evaporator component 16 and the water storage chamber 1111 sequentially form a water circuit cycle, and the pumping component 21 does not stop running until the first water pump target time ends. When the pumping component 21 ends running, the water can be manually drained or the ice maker 10 can automatically drain the water, etc., to discharge sewage, etc. out of the ice maker 10.

[0044] The first water pump target time can be, but is not limited to, a set value. The first water pump target time can be greater than or equal to 10 minutes and less than or equal to 30 minutes. The first water pump target time can be, but is not limited to, 10 minutes, 14 minutes, 18 minutes, 20 minutes, 25 minutes, and 30 minutes. For example, in this embodiment, the first water pump target time is 20 minutes.

[0045] This embodiment performs the cleaning operation of the ice maker 10 by real-time detecting that the first current rotation speed of the pumping assembly 21 is within the first target rotation speed range threshold, which not only enables the ice maker 10 to automatically complete the cleaning operation but also has simple steps and low costs.

[0046] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6 The cleaning control method further includes step S104 and step S105.

[0047] Step S104: If the first current speed is not within the first target speed range threshold, control the pumping component to end operation.

[0048] There are two forms in which the first current speed is not within the first target speed range threshold. For example, the first current speed is less than the minimum value of the first target speed range threshold; or the first current speed is greater than the maximum value of the first target speed range threshold. When the first current speed is in at least one of the above two forms, the pumping component 21 ends the operation, and then stops pumping water.

[0049] When the first target speed range threshold is greater than or equal to 50 rpm and less than or equal to 245 rpm, the first current speed is less than 50 rpm; or, when the first current speed is greater than 245 rpm, the first current speed is not within the first target speed range threshold, that is, the pumping component 21 ends operation and enters the water shortage mode.

[0050] In the actual process, the first current speed is within the first target speed range threshold, and after the pumping component 21 has been running for a period of time and has not exceeded the first water pump target time, the first current speed is not within the first target speed range threshold, and the water in the water storage chamber 1111 may be insufficient, causing the pumping component 21 to end its operation and then stop pumping water.

[0051] Step S105: Control the ice maker to enter the water shortage mode until a first preset start time has passed, and control the speed detection component to detect a first current speed of the pumping component in real time.

[0052] When the first current speed is not within the first target speed range threshold, the pumping assembly 21 stops running, and the ice maker 10 enters the water shortage mode. The water shortage mode can prompt the user through the water shortage indicator light 10163, so that the user can add water manually or automatically in time, such as Fig.13 .

[0053] When the ice maker 10 enters the water shortage mode, within the first preset start time, the user may add water manually or automatically. After the water shortage mode runs for the first preset start time, steps S101, S102, S103, S104, and S105 are re-executed to enable the ice maker 10 to perform a cleaning operation or enter the water shortage mode.

[0054] The first preset start time may be, but is not limited to, a set value. The first preset start time may be greater than or equal to 10 minutes and less than or equal to 30 minutes. The first preset start time may be, but is not limited to, 10 minutes, 14 minutes, 18 minutes, 20 minutes, 25 minutes, 28 minutes, and 30 minutes. In this embodiment, the first preset start time is 30 minutes.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first current speed of the pumping component 21 is detected in real time and is not within the first target speed range threshold, so that the ice maker 10 enters the water shortage mode. After the water shortage mode runs for a first preset start time, the pumping component 21 and the speed detection component are restarted to continue the cleaning of the ice maker 10. Through the above steps, the automation of the cleaning of the ice maker 10 is improved, thereby improving the user experience.

[0056] Please continue reading Figure 6 In step S105 , before controlling the ice maker to enter the water shortage mode until the first preset start time has passed, the cleaning control method includes step S106 .

[0057] Step S106: Control the pumping component to start at least once along the first interval time.

[0058] Among them, the first interval time can be but is not limited to a set value. The first interval time can be greater than or equal to 1 second and less than the minimum value of the first preset start time. When the first preset start time can be greater than or equal to 10 minutes and less than or equal to 30 minutes, the first interval time is less than the minimum value of the first preset start time, that is, the first interval time is less than 10 minutes. Specifically, the first interval time can be but is not limited to 1 second, 30 seconds, 50 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 8 minutes and 10 minutes. In this embodiment, the first interval time is 1 minute.

[0059] The pumping component 21 can be turned on for but not limited to once, twice, three times, and four times or more. In this embodiment, the pumping component 21 is turned on for three times, and the first interval is 1 minute. After the pumping component 21 stops starting, the pumping component 21 is turned on once every 1 minute. When the user manually or automatically adds water within the first interval, the pumping component 21 pumps water again, and the first current speed of the pumping component 21 meets the first target speed range threshold, so that the ice maker 10 performs cleaning work, etc.

[0060] This embodiment increases the number of starts of the pumping component 21 by controlling the pumping component 21 to be opened at least once along the first interval time, thereby improving the smoothness of pumping water, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the ice maker 10 and improving the user experience.

[0061] Please continue reading Figure 6 Before controlling the rotation speed detection component to detect the first current rotation speed of the pumping component in real time in step S101, the cleaning control method further includes step S107.

[0062] Step S107: Control the pumping component to start running, and control the speed detection component to start running after a first speed delay time.

[0063] Among them, after the pumping component 21 starts to run, the speed detection component does not start to run temporarily, until the pumping component 21 runs for the first speed delay time, the speed detection component will detect the first current speed of the pumping component 21 in real time. That is, the speed detection component starts to run after the first speed delay time. The above-mentioned first speed delay time can be but not limited to a set value. Among them, the first speed delay time can be greater than or equal to 3 seconds, and less than or equal to 5 seconds. For example, the first speed delay time can be but not limited to 3 seconds, 4 seconds and 5 seconds.

[0064] In this embodiment, the air in the internal pipe of the pumping assembly 21 can be discharged through the above method, so that the pipe can be filled with water later, thereby improving the accuracy of the first current speed, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the ice maker 10. When the cleaning control method includes the above step S107, when step 105 controls the ice maker 10 to enter the water shortage mode until the first preset start time, step S107 and step S101 can be executed in sequence.

[0065] In some embodiments, the ice maker 10 further includes a compressor assembly 15 and a condensing and cooling assembly 17. The compressor assembly 15 is connected to the ice-making evaporator assembly 16. The condensing and cooling assembly 17 is connected to the compressor assembly 15. The compressor assembly 15 may be, but is not limited to, a compressor. The compressor assembly 15 compresses the refrigerant from a low-temperature and low-pressure state to increase its temperature and pressure, and then the compressor assembly 15 pushes the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant into the condensing and cooling assembly 17. The condensing and cooling assembly 17 may be, but is not limited to, a condenser. The condensing and cooling assembly 17 converts the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant into a high-pressure liquid. The ice-making evaporator assembly 16 is used to make ice from water and push the refrigerant into the compressor assembly 15 to realize a refrigeration cycle. It should be noted that the working principles of the above-mentioned compressor assembly 15, the ice-making evaporator assembly 16, and the condensing and cooling assembly 17 are conventional techniques of those skilled in the art and will not be repeated here.

[0066] The above ice making machine control method also includes an ice making control method. The ice making control method includes the following steps. Figure 7 , Figure 7 It is a flow chart of the third embodiment of the control method of the ice making machine of the present application. It should be noted that the ice making control method described in this embodiment is not limited to the following steps.

[0067] Step S201: determining whether the ice outlet in the ice-making evaporator assembly is full of ice.

[0068] The ice outlet 161 of the ice-making evaporator assembly 16 is used to discharge ice cubes. The ice outlet 161 may be provided with a detection assembly (not shown in the figure). The detection assembly can detect whether the ice outlet 161 is full of ice or not full of ice. When the detection assembly does not detect any information after a first time, the ice outlet 161 is in a full ice state. When the detection assembly can detect information after a second time, the ice outlet 161 is not full of ice.

[0069] The first time and the second time may be the same or different. In a specific embodiment, the detection component may include but is not limited to two infrared sensors (not shown in the figure). The two infrared sensors are arranged at opposite sides of the ice outlet 161. When the infrared transmitting end and the infrared receiving end of the two infrared sensors are blocked for more than the first time and no information is detected, the ice outlet 161 is in a full ice state. The full ice state can be displayed by the ice full indicator light 10164 on the ice maker 10. When the infrared transmitting end and the infrared receiving end of the two infrared sensors are connected after the second time and the information is detected, the ice outlet 161 is not full of ice. The ice full indicator light 10164 on the ice maker 10 goes out. The first time may be 5 minutes; the second time may be 10 seconds, etc. Of course, in other embodiments, other structures may be used to determine whether the ice outlet 161 is full of ice, etc., which is not limited here.

[0070] Step S202: If the ice outlet is not full of ice, the speed detection component is controlled to detect the second current speed of the water pumping component in real time.

[0071] When the ice outlet 161 is not full of ice, the pumping assembly 21 and the speed detection assembly continue to work, and the pumping assembly 21 pumps water into the equal-level water tank 14 and the ice-making evaporator assembly 16 to achieve ice making, etc. The speed detection assembly detects the speed of the pumping assembly 21 in real time to determine whether the water in the water storage chamber 1111 meets the ice making requirements, etc.

[0072] Step S203: Determine whether the second current speed is within a second target speed range threshold.

[0073] Among them, the second target speed range threshold value can be but not limited to a set value, and its value size can be limited according to the type of the pumping component 21. For example, the second target speed range threshold value can be greater than or equal to 50 rpm, and less than or equal to 245 rpm. The second target speed range threshold value can be but not limited to 50 rpm, 60 rpm, 70 rpm, 80 rpm, 90 rpm, 100 rpm, 110 rpm, 130 rpm, 170 rpm, 180 rpm, 200 rpm, 235 rpm and 245 rpm, etc. Specifically, the second target speed range threshold value can be greater than or equal to 80 rpm, and less than or equal to 235 rpm, etc. In other embodiments, the second target speed range threshold value can also be other numerical values, etc., which are not limited here.

[0074] By judging and comparing whether the second current speed falls within the second target speed range threshold, such as the second current speed is within the second target speed range threshold; or the second current speed is not within the second target speed range threshold.

[0075] Step S204: If the second current speed is within the second target speed range threshold, control the pumping component to run the second water pump target time and start the ice-making evaporator component, the compressor component and the condensing and cooling component until the ice outlet is full of ice.

[0076] Among them, during the second water pump target time, when the second current speed is always within the second target speed range threshold, the pumping component 21 is always in the pumping state until the second water pump target time of the pumping component 21 ends. Then, the ice-making evaporator component 16, the compressor component 15 and the condensing and cooling component 17 are started to operate, so that the ice-making machine 10 makes ice until the ice outlet 161 is full of ice.

[0077] The second water pump target time may be, but is not limited to, a set value. The second water pump target time is greater than or equal to 20 seconds and less than or equal to 1 minute. Specifically, the second water pump target time may be, but is not limited to, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, 40 seconds, 50 seconds, and 1 minute. For example, in this embodiment, the second water pump target time is 30 seconds.

[0078] In this embodiment, the ice outlet 161 is not full of ice, and the second current speed of the pumping component 21 is detected in real time to be within the second target speed range threshold, so as to execute the ice making work of the ice maker 10. This not only enables the ice maker 10 to automatically complete the ice making work, but also has a simple structure and low cost.

[0079] See also Figure 8 , Figure 8 1 is a flow chart of a fourth embodiment of the control method for an ice-making machine of the present application. The ice-making control method further includes the following steps.

[0080] Step S205: If the second current rotation speed is not within the second target rotation speed range threshold, control the pumping component to end operation.

[0081] There are two forms in which the second current speed is not within the second target speed range threshold. For example, the second current speed is less than the minimum value of the second target speed range threshold; or the second current speed is greater than the maximum value of the second target speed range threshold. When the second current speed is in at least one of the above two forms, the pumping component 21 ends the operation, and then stops pumping water.

[0082] When the second target speed range threshold is greater than or equal to 50 rpm and less than or equal to 245 rpm, the second current speed is less than 50 rpm; or, when the second current speed is greater than 245 rpm, the second current speed is not within the second target speed range threshold, that is, the pumping component 21 ends operation and enters the water shortage mode.

[0083] In the actual process, the second current speed is within the second target speed range threshold, and after the pumping component 21 has been running for a period of time and has not exceeded the second water pump target time, the second current speed is not within the second target speed range threshold, and the water in the water storage chamber 1111 may be insufficient, causing the pumping component 21 to end its operation and then stop pumping water.

[0084] Step S206: Control the ice maker to enter the water shortage mode until the second preset start time, and control the speed detection component to detect the second current speed of the pumping component in real time.

[0085] When the second current speed is not within the second target speed range threshold, the pumping assembly 21 stops running, and the ice maker 10 enters the water shortage mode. The water shortage mode can prompt the user through the water shortage indicator light 10163, so that the user can add water manually or automatically in time.

[0086] When the ice maker 10 enters the water shortage mode, within the second preset start time, the user may manually or automatically add water, etc. After the water shortage mode runs for the second preset start time, steps S201, S202, S203, S204, and S205 are re-executed to enable the ice maker 10 to perform ice making or enter the water shortage mode, etc.

[0087] The second preset start time may be, but is not limited to, a set value. The second preset start time may be greater than or equal to 10 minutes and less than or equal to 30 minutes. The second preset start time may be, but is not limited to, 10 minutes, 14 minutes, 18 minutes, 20 minutes, 25 minutes, 28 minutes, and 30 minutes. In this embodiment, the second preset start time is 30 minutes.

[0088] In this embodiment, the second current speed of the pumping component 21 is detected in real time and is not within the second target speed range threshold, so that the ice maker 10 enters the water shortage mode. After the water shortage mode runs for a second preset start time, the pumping component 21 and the speed detection component are restarted to continue the cleaning work of the ice maker 10. Through the above steps, the automation of the ice making work of the ice maker 10 is improved, thereby improving the user experience.

[0089] Please continue reading Figure 8 Before controlling the ice maker to enter the water shortage mode until the second preset start time in step S206, the ice maker control method further includes step S207.

[0090] Step S207: Control the pumping component to start at least once along the second interval time.

[0091] The second interval time may be, but is not limited to, a set value. The second interval time may be greater than or equal to 1 second and less than the minimum value of the second preset start time. When the second preset start time may be greater than or equal to 10 minutes and less than or equal to 30 minutes, the second interval time is less than the minimum value of the second preset start time, that is, the second interval time is less than 10 minutes. Specifically, the second interval time may be, but is not limited to, 1 second, 30 seconds, 50 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 8 minutes, and 10 minutes. In this embodiment, the second interval time is 1 minute.

[0092] The pumping component 21 can be turned on for but not limited to once, twice, three times, and four times or more. In this embodiment, the pumping component 21 is turned on for three times, and the second interval is 1 minute. After the pumping component 21 stops starting, the pumping component 21 is turned on once every 1 minute. When the user manually or automatically adds water within the second interval, the pumping component 21 pumps water again, and the second current speed of the pumping component 21 meets the second target speed range threshold, so that the ice maker 10 performs cleaning work, etc.

[0093] This embodiment increases the number of starts of the pumping component 21 by controlling the pumping component 21 to be opened at least once along the second interval time, thereby improving the smoothness of pumping, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the ice maker 10 and improving the user experience.

[0094] Please continue reading Figure 8 The ice-making control method further includes step S208. Step S208: If the ice outlet is full of ice, the compressor assembly and the condensation and heat dissipation assembly are controlled to stop running, and the ice-making evaporator assembly is controlled to stop running after a first delay time.

[0095] The ice making control method further includes step S208. When the ice outlet 161 is full of ice, the compressor assembly 15 and the condensing and cooling assembly 17 both stop running, and the ice making evaporator assembly 16 continues running and stops running after a first delay time.

[0096] The first delay time may be, but is not limited to, a set value. The first delay time may be greater than or equal to 10 seconds and less than or equal to 1 minute. Specifically, the first delay time may be, but is not limited to, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 27 seconds, 33 seconds, 40 seconds, 46 seconds, 50 seconds, and 60 seconds. For example, in this embodiment, the first delay time is 30 seconds.

[0097] In this embodiment, the compressor assembly 15 and the condensing and cooling assembly 17 both stop running, and the ice-making evaporator assembly 16 continues to run for a first delay time before stopping running, so that the residual ice in the ice-making evaporator assembly 16 can be taken out, thereby reducing the risk of ice discharge blockage next time, thereby improving the user experience.

[0098] Please continue reading Figure 8 The ice making control method further comprises step S209. Step S209: controlling the water pumping component to start running, and controlling the speed detection component to start running after the second speed delay time.

[0099] Wherein, before step S202, the ice making control method further includes step S209. After the pumping component 21 starts to run, the speed detection component does not start to run temporarily, until the pumping component 21 runs for the second speed delay time, the speed detection component detects the second current speed of the pumping component 21 in real time. That is, the speed detection component starts to run after the second speed delay time. The above-mentioned second speed delay time can be, but is not limited to, a set value. Wherein, the second speed delay time can be greater than or equal to 3 seconds, and less than or equal to 5 seconds. For example, the second speed delay time can be, but is not limited to, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, and 5 seconds.

[0100] In this embodiment, the air in the internal pipe of the pumping assembly 21 can be discharged through the above method, so that the pipe can be filled with water later, thereby improving the accuracy of the second current speed, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the ice maker 10, etc. When the ice making control method includes the above step S209, when step 206 controls the ice maker 10 to enter the water shortage mode until the second preset start time, step S209 and step S202 can be executed in sequence.

[0101] Please continue reading Figure 8 The ice making control method further includes step S210 and step S211.

[0102] Step S210: Control the ice-making evaporator assembly to start operation.

[0103] After step S204 , the ice-making control method further includes steps S210 and S211 . The ice-making evaporator assembly 16 is first started to operate, and the residual ice cubes in the ice-making evaporator assembly 16 can be taken out.

[0104] Step S211: Control the compressor assembly and the condensation and heat dissipation assembly to start running after a preset ice-making time.

[0105] The ice-making evaporator assembly 16 continues to run for the preset ice-making time, and then the compressor assembly 15 and the condensing and cooling assembly 17 start to run. The preset ice-making time can be, but is not limited to, a set value. The preset ice-making time can be greater than or equal to 10 seconds and less than or equal to 30 seconds. Specifically, the preset ice-making time can be, but is not limited to, 10 seconds, 14 seconds, 18 seconds, 20 seconds, 27 seconds, and 30 seconds. In this embodiment, the preset ice-making time can be 10 seconds.

[0106] During the ice making process of the ice maker 10, after the pumping component 21 completes the pumping work, the ice making evaporator component 16 first works for a preset ice making time, and then the compressor component 15 and the condensing and cooling component 17 are started, that is, the compressor component 15 and the condensing and cooling component 17 are started after the preset ice making time. In this way, the residual ice can be discharged, thereby reducing the risk of ice blockage in subsequent ice making.

[0107] Please continue reading Figure 8 The ice making control method further includes step S212, step S213 and step S214.

[0108] Step S212: The compressor assembly, the condensing and cooling assembly, and the ice-making evaporator assembly operate until the defrosting time.

[0109] In the process of making ice cubes, the ice maker 10 is prone to frost due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside, so the compressor assembly 15 and the condensation and heat dissipation assembly 17 need to be in a continuous working state for defrosting, thereby improving the user experience. The defrosting time can be but is not limited to a set value. In particular, the defrosting time can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here. For example, in this embodiment, the defrosting time is 2 hours.

[0110] Step S213: Control the compressor assembly and the condensing and heat dissipating assembly to end operation.

[0111] When the compressor assembly 15, the condensing and heat dissipating assembly 17 and the ice-making evaporator assembly 16 run to the defrosting time, the compressor assembly 15 and the condensing and heat dissipating assembly 17 are controlled to stop running.

[0112] Step S214: Control the compressor assembly and the condensation and heat dissipation assembly to start running after a preset ice-making time.

[0113] The compressor assembly 15 and the condensing and cooling assembly 17 are restarted after the preset ice-making time. The preset ice-making time can be, but is not limited to, a set value. For example, in this embodiment, the preset ice-making time can be 10 minutes.

[0114] In some embodiments, at least one step in the cleaning control method in which the pumping component 21 pumps water for cleaning is the same as at least one step in the ice making control method in which the pumping component 21 pumps water for ice making, which is used to simplify the control method of the ice maker so that the ice maker 10 can have both cleaning and ice making functions.

[0115] For example, the first target speed range threshold may be the same as the second target speed range threshold, the first preset start time may be the same as the second preset start time, the first interval time may be the same as the second interval time, and the first speed delay time may be the same as the second speed delay time.

[0116] See also Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 Schematic diagram of the structure of the touch panel in an embodiment of the ice maker of the present application. Figures 1 to 8, the specific process of the cleaning control method in the above control method is as follows. Long press the power button 10161 to make the ice maker 10 perform the cleaning work. The compressor assembly 15, the ice-making evaporator assembly 16 and the condensing and cooling assembly 17 are all stopped. The pumping assembly 21 starts working for the first water pump target time (such as 20 minutes) once, and delays the first speed delay time (such as 3 seconds) to judge the speed of the pumping assembly 21 in real time. Within the first water pump target time (such as 20 minutes), if the speed detection component detects that the first current speed of the pumping assembly 21 is not within the first target speed range threshold (such as 50 rpm-245 rpm), and the pumping assembly 21 is turned on at least once (such as 3 times) along the first interval time (such as 1 minute), the first current speed is still not within the first target speed range threshold, it will actively exit the cleaning work and enter the water shortage mode, and the water shortage indicator light 10163 will light up. After the ice maker 10 enters the water shortage mode, the water shortage mode starts the pumping assembly 21 again every first preset start time (such as 30 minutes), and then determines whether there is water shortage again.

[0117] Within the first water pump target time range, if the speed detection component detects that the first current speed of the pumping component 21 is within the first target speed range threshold, the pumping component 21 continuously runs the first water pump target time (e.g., 20 minutes) and then exits. When the ice maker 10 is cleaning, the power indicator light 10162, the water shortage indicator light 10163, and the ice full indicator light 10164 start to light up in sequence from left to right, and are displayed in a cycle, indicating that the cleaning work is started.

[0118] After the cleaning work is completed, the power indicator light 10162, the water shortage indicator light 10163 and the ice full indicator light 10164 are long on to remind the user to manually drain the water. Press the power button 10161 again to enter the ice making work. At this time, it is displayed in the normal boot mode, and the water shortage indicator light 10163 and the ice full indicator light 10164 are judged according to the ice making function control logic.

[0119] When the ice maker 10 performs ice making, the pumping component 21 starts working for the second water pump target time (e.g., 30 seconds) once, and delays the second speed delay time (e.g., 3 seconds) to judge the speed of the pumping component 21 in real time. Within the second water pump target time range, if the second current speed is not within the second target speed range threshold (e.g., 50 rpm-245 rpm), if the speed detection component detects that the second current speed of the pumping component 21 is within the second target speed range threshold, and the pumping component 21 is turned on at least once (e.g., 3 times) along the second interval time (e.g., 1 minute), and the second current speed is still not within the second target speed range threshold, the ice maker 10 will actively exit the ice making mode and enter the water shortage mode, and the water shortage indicator light 10163 will light up. After the ice maker 10 enters the water shortage mode, the pumping component 21 will be turned on again every second preset start time (e.g., 30 minutes) in the water shortage mode, and then it is judged whether there is water shortage again.

[0120] Within the second water pump target time range, if the speed detection component detects that the second current speed of the pumping component 21 is within the second target speed range threshold, the ice maker 10 performs the ice making operation. When performing the ice making operation, the pumping component 21 is opened once along the ice making preset time (e.g., 10 minutes), and each ice making operation performs the second water pump target time (e.g., 30 seconds).

[0121] See also Fig.10 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 as well as Fig.13 , Fig.10 It is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of an embodiment of the ice making machine of the present application; Fig.11 yes Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure shown; Fig.12 is a third partial schematic diagram of an embodiment of the ice making machine of the present application; Fig.13 yes Fig.12 The structural diagram of B is shown. Figure 1 To the figure and Fig. 9 In some embodiments, the equal-level water tank 14 is provided with an ice-making overflow port 141. The ice-making overflow port 141 is used to discharge excess water in the equal-level water tank 14 during the ice-making process. When the ice-making machine 10 is in the ice-making process, when the water level in the equal-level water tank 14 is higher than the height of the cleaning overflow end face of the ice-making overflow port 141, the excess water in the equal-level water tank 14 flows out from the ice-making overflow port 141. Because the equal-level water tank 14 and the ice-making evaporator assembly 16 can be connected in an openable and closable manner, and the two have the principle of a communicating vessel. Among them, the height of the ice-making overflow end face of the ice-making overflow port 141 is the ice-making water level height of the ice-making evaporator assembly 16, so that the ice-making evaporator assembly 16 can make ice normally.

[0122] The equal-level water tank 14 is provided with a cleaning overflow port 142. The cleaning overflow port 142 is used to discharge the excess water in the equal-level water tank 14 during the cleaning process of the ice maker 10. When the water level in the equal-level water tank 14 is higher than the height of the cleaning overflow end face of the cleaning overflow port 142 during the cleaning process of the ice maker 10, the excess water in the equal-level water tank 14 flows out from the cleaning overflow port 142 and the ice-making overflow port 141. Because the equal-level water tank 14 and the ice-making evaporator assembly 16 can be connected in an openable and closable manner, and the two have the principle of a communicating vessel. Among them, the height of the cleaning overflow end face of the cleaning overflow port 142 is higher than the ice-making water level height of the original ice-making evaporator assembly 16, so that water can flow through the position above the ice-making water level height of the ice-making evaporator assembly 16, so that the ice-making evaporator assembly 16 can be completely cleaned, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0123] The height of the cleaning overflow end face of the cleaning overflow port 142 is higher than the height of the ice-making overflow end face of the ice-making overflow port 141, which facilitates the cleaning of the ice-making machine 10 and improves the cleaning effect. In addition, the cleaning overflow end face of the cleaning overflow port 142 is higher than the height of the ice outlet 161 of the ice-making evaporator assembly 16, which facilitates the ice-making process of the ice-making machine 10. Therefore, by simultaneously providing the ice-making overflow port 141 and the cleaning overflow port 142 in the equal-level water tank 14, the height relationship among the ice-making overflow port 141, the cleaning overflow port 142 and the ice outlet 161 is limited, so that the ice-making machine 10 can simultaneously meet the ice-making function and the cleaning function, thereby improving the cleaning effect and thus improving the user experience; in addition, there is no need to provide structures such as a water level detector and a water valve in the equal-level water tank 14, the structure is simpler, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

[0124] In some embodiments, the area of ​​the ice making overflow port 141 is smaller than the area of ​​the cleaning overflow port 142. When the ice making machine 10 is being cleaned, because the water discharge speed of the ice making overflow port 141 is lower than the water discharge speed of the cleaning overflow port 142, the water level in the equal level water tank 14 can continue to rise to the cleaning overflow end face of the cleaning overflow port 142, until the water level is higher than the cleaning overflow end face, and the excess water is discharged from the cleaning overflow port 142.

[0125] Since the equal-level water tank 14 and the ice-making evaporator assembly 16 are connected and the two have the principle of communicating vessels, by limiting the size of the ice-making overflow port 141 to be smaller than the size of the cleaning overflow port 142, the water level of the ice-making overflow port 141 can be raised, and then the water level in the ice-making evaporator assembly 16 can be raised, so that more water reaches the top of the ice-making evaporator assembly 16, so that the ice-making evaporator assembly 16 can be fully cleaned, and the cleaning effect can be improved.

[0126] The above-mentioned area may be related to the shape and size. When the shape of the ice-making overflow port 141 is the same as that of the cleaning overflow port 142, the size of the ice-making overflow port 141 may be smaller than that of the cleaning overflow port 142. When the shape of the ice-making overflow port 141 is different from that of the cleaning overflow port 142, by comparing the different shapes and sizes of the ice-making overflow port 141, the area of ​​the ice-making overflow port 141 may be smaller than that of the cleaning overflow port 142. As in the present embodiment, the shapes of the ice-making overflow port 141 and the cleaning overflow port 142 are both rectangular, and the size of the ice-making overflow port 141 may be limited to be smaller than that of the cleaning overflow port 142.

[0127] In some embodiments, the ice making overflow port 141 and the cleaning overflow port 142 are both connected to the water storage chamber 1111. The water discharged from the ice making overflow port 141 and the water discharged from the cleaning overflow port 142 are both discharged into the water storage chamber 1111. Through the above definition, water can be recycled, and the number of times the ice maker 10 is filled with water can be reduced, thereby improving the user experience.

[0128] In some embodiments, an ice-making pipeline 22 is connected between the equal-level water tank 14 and the ice-making evaporator assembly 16 in an openable and closable manner. That is, the water in the equal-level water tank 14 can enter the ice-making evaporator assembly 16 through the ice-making pipeline 22, so that the ice-making evaporator assembly 16 can make ice, etc. The ice-making machine 10 includes a cleaning assembly 19. The cleaning assembly 19 is used to clean the ice-making machine 10, etc. The cleaning assembly 19 includes a first cleaning pipe 191 and a second cleaning pipe 192. One end of the first cleaning pipe 191 is connected to the water storage chamber 1111 of the foaming assembly 11. That is, the water in the water storage chamber 1111 can flow into one end of the first cleaning pipe 191. The other end of the first cleaning pipe 191 can be connected in an openable and closable manner. That is, the other end of the first cleaning pipe 191 can be opened or closed. One end of the second cleaning pipe 192 is connected to the ice-making pipeline 22 in an openable and closable manner. That is, one end of the second cleaning pipe 192 is in an open or closed state with the ice-making pipeline 22. The other end of the second cleaning pipe 192 can be connected in an openable and closable manner, that is, the other end of the second cleaning pipe 192 can be opened or closed.

[0129] When the cleaning assembly 19 is in a non-operating state, the other end of the first cleaning pipe 191 and the other end of the second cleaning pipe 192 are both in a closed state. When the cleaning assembly 19 is in a cleaning state, water circulates until it is finished, and then the other end of the first cleaning pipe 191 and the other end of the second cleaning pipe 192 are opened, so that waste water can flow out of the first cleaning pipe 191 and the second cleaning pipe 192, thereby achieving the cleaning work of the ice maker 10.

[0130] In some embodiments, the ice maker 10 includes an ice maker body 101 and a plugging portion 1015. The plugging portion 1015 is detachably connected to the upper portion of the outer periphery of the ice maker body 101. The plugging portion 1015 can be connected to the upper portion of the outer periphery of the ice maker body 101 by plugging, clamping, bolting, etc. The ice maker body 101 can include a rear cover 1014, which is located at the rear of the ice maker body 101. By arranging the plugging portion 1015 at the rear of the ice maker body 101, the plugging portion 1015 is more hidden, thereby improving the aesthetics of the ice maker 10.

[0131] The plugging part 1015 can be connected to the other end of the first cleaning pipe 191 and / or the other end of the second cleaning pipe 192 in an openable and closable manner. When the plugging part 1015 is opened, the other end of the first cleaning pipe 191 can be in an open state; when the plugging part 1015 is closed, the other end of the first cleaning pipe 191 can be in a closed state. When the plugging part 1015 is opened, the other end of the second cleaning pipe 192 can be in an open state; when the plugging part 1015 is closed, the other end of the second cleaning pipe 192 can be in a closed state.

[0132] When the cleaning assembly 19 of the ice maker 10 is not in operation, the first cleaning pipe 191 and the second cleaning pipe 192 are not in use, and the first cleaning pipe 191 and the second cleaning pipe 192 are detachably connected to the upper part of the outer periphery of the ice maker body 101. When the cleaning assembly 19 of the ice maker 10 is in operation, the first cleaning pipe 191 and the second cleaning pipe 192 are detached from the ice maker 10, and the plug 1015 on the first cleaning pipe 191 and / or the second cleaning pipe 192 is unplugged, and water flows out of the first cleaning pipe 191 and the second cleaning pipe 192 into the external environment under the action of gravity, thereby completing the cleaning work, etc.

[0133] The plugging portion 1015, the first cleaning pipe 191, and the second cleaning pipe 192 cooperate with each other to facilitate the automatic discharge of water after the ice maker 10 is cleaned, without the need to set up a water pump, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost. The first cleaning pipe 191 and the second cleaning pipe 192 can share the same plugging portion 1015, and the plugging portion 1015 can be detachably installed on the upper part of the outer periphery of the ice maker body 101. Alternatively, the first cleaning pipe 191 and the second cleaning pipe 192 are connected by their respective plugging portions 1015, and the two plugging portions 1015 can be detachably connected to the upper part of the outer periphery of the ice maker body 101.

[0134] By providing the ice-making overflow port 141 and the cleaning overflow port 142 in the equal-level water tank 14, not only the height of the cleaning overflow end face of the cleaning overflow port 142 is higher than the height of the ice-making overflow end face of the ice-making overflow port 141, but also the cleaning overflow end face of the cleaning overflow port 142 is higher than the height of the ice outlet 161 of the ice-making evaporator assembly 16; moreover, the cleaning overflow port 142 and the ice-making overflow port 141 are both connected to the water storage chamber 1111. Therefore, by providing the ice-making overflow port 141 and the cleaning overflow port 142 in the equal-level water tank 14 at the same time, the height relationship among the ice-making overflow port 141, the cleaning overflow port 142 and the ice outlet 161 is limited, so that the ice-making machine 10 can simultaneously meet the ice-making function and the cleaning function, thereby improving the cleaning effect, thereby improving the user experience; in addition, there is no need to provide structures such as a water level detector and a water valve in the equal-level water tank 14, the structure is simpler, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. When the above-mentioned structure of the ice maker 10 is applied to the cleaning control method and ice making control method of the ice maker 10, the steps are simple and the cost is reduced.

[0135] In some embodiments, the ice maker body 101 is provided with a touch panel 1016. A power button 10161 is provided on the touch panel 1016. The user can turn on the ice maker 10 to make ice by clicking. The user can turn on the cleaning function by long pressing. Among them, the long pressing time can be but not limited to 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, 5 seconds, etc. In addition, a power indicator light 10162, a water shortage indicator light 10163 and an ice full indicator light 10164 are also provided on the touch panel 1016. When the ice maker 10 is powered on, the power indicator light 10162 lights up; when the ice maker 10 is unplugged or the power is off, the power indicator light 10162 goes out. When the ice maker 10 is in the water shortage mode, the water shortage indicator light 10163 lights up; when the ice maker 10 is not in the water shortage mode, the water shortage indicator light 10163 goes out. When the ice outlet 161 of the ice maker 10 is full of ice, the ice full indicator light 10164 is on; when the ice outlet 161 of the ice maker 10 is not full of ice, the ice full indicator light 10164 is off.

[0136] When the ice maker 10 performs the cleaning work, the power indicator light 10162, the water shortage indicator light 10163 and the ice full indicator light 10164 are cycled. When the ice maker 10 finishes the cleaning work, the power indicator light 10162, the water shortage indicator light 10163 and the ice full indicator light 10164 are all on at the same time, prompting the user to manually drain the water and discharge the sewage etc. out of the ice maker 10. When the ice maker 10 performs the cleaning work, short press the power button 10161 to exit the cleaning mode and enter the standby mode, at which time the power indicator light 10162 is on, and the other indicators are off.
