Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ice making machines, and in particular to an ice making method, system and terminal of an ice making machine. Background Art
[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration machine that circulates filtered water through an evaporator into a refrigeration system, where the refrigerant in the refrigeration system cools the water to produce ice cubes.
[0003] The ice maker injects filtered water into molds of different shapes at a fixed water injection rate, and compresses the refrigerant through the refrigeration system to form a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid mixture to input into the evaporator. The low-temperature and low-pressure liquid mixture then absorbs the heat around the mold, allowing the ice maker to cool the water in the mold at a constant temperature and gradually freeze it into ice. After absorbing the heat, the liquid mixture evaporates and becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure gas, which is then sucked into the refrigeration system again to start a new refrigeration cycle.
[0004] When the ice maker is making large ice balls, due to their large size, a fixed water injection speed and a constant temperature will cause bubbles to appear in the water in the mold and make it difficult to discharge from the mold. Therefore, bubbles will appear on the large ice balls produced, which will reduce the ice making quality of the ice maker. This needs to be improved. Summary of the invention

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the pressure detection change value is compared with the reference pressure change value, and the estimated leakage position, leakage amount and emergency refrigeration power are known based on the comparison result. The ice maker is controlled to operate in order to accelerate the refrigeration of the estimated leakage position, so that the position of the mold leakage can be urgently dealt with.
[0016] Optional, preset ice making processes include: Obtaining ice ball image information corresponding to the dispersed ice making specifications; When the ice ball image information includes a preset abnormal feature, determining the abnormal quantity, abnormal type and abnormal image according to the ice ball image information and the abnormal feature; Determine the outline and extension of the ice block based on the ice ball image information and the abnormal image; Determine the estimated repair volume based on the abnormal image and extension range; Determine baseline abnormal quantity based on dispersed ice making specifications and ice making specifications; Determine whether the number of anomalies is less than the baseline number of anomalies; If the number of anomalies is less than the baseline number of anomalies, and the ice contour intersects with the extended range, the amount of repair water is determined based on the estimated repair volume and the remaining water injection volume; Determine the repair freezing time and repair freezing temperature according to the repair water volume; Controlling the target ice-making mold to be filled with water with the repair water volume, and controlling the ice-making machine to operate with the repair freezing time and the repair freezing temperature, and obtaining the repair time; When the repair time is consistent with the repair freezing time, the ice maker is controlled to demould to form ice balls corresponding to the ice making specifications.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, by comparing the number of abnormalities with the baseline number of abnormalities, the intersection of the ice cube outline and the extension range is understood to obtain the repair water volume, repair freezing time and repair freezing temperature, and water is replenished and the operation of the ice maker is controlled, so that the water volume can be changed to enhance the water pressure, and water can flow into the abnormality to perform freezing repair, thereby improving the yield rate of ice ball production.

Then, the knocking force, the target crushed ice volume and the marked crushed ice volume are used to obtain the estimated reconstituted water volume and water is injected, so that the cracks corresponding to the target crushed ice volume and the marked crushed ice volume can be repaired by water injection.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 The present application discloses an ice making method of an ice making machine, comprising the following steps: Step S100: obtaining ice making specifications of the ice balls to be made.
[0028] Ice making specifications refer to the specifications of the ice balls to be made, which are obtained after being pre-input by the operator.
[0029] Step S101: selecting a target ice-making mold from a preset mold database according to ice-making specifications.
[0030] The mold database stores molds corresponding to different ice-making specifications. The mold database is a manually set database and will not be described in detail here. The target ice-making mold refers to the mold for making ice balls corresponding to the ice-making specifications. The target ice-making mold is selected by querying and matching the ice-making specifications input into the mold database. Each cavity corresponding to the mold in the mold database is provided with a water pipe for water injection, and the cavity is provided with an inspection device for checking water leakage. The inspection device can be a device for controlling the spring to pop out when the power is off to squeeze the inner wall of the cavity. The cavity is provided with a placement hole for placing scattered ice balls, and the cavity is provided with a placement cover for use with the placement hole. The inspection device refers to a device that can press each cavity of the mold. The target ice-making mold is made of rubber material.
[0031] Step S102: determining whether the ice-making specification exceeds a preset reference ice-making specification.
[0032] The reference ice making specification is the maximum specification set by the technicians that can directly make ice balls. By determining whether the ice making specification exceeds the reference ice making specification, it is determined whether ice balls corresponding to the ice making specification can be directly made.
[0033] Step S103: If the ice-making specification does not exceed the reference ice-making specification, the water injection position is determined according to the target ice-making mold.
[0034] The water injection position refers to the position where water is injected into the target ice-making mold. When the ice-making specifications do not exceed the benchmark ice-making specifications, it means that ice balls corresponding to the ice-making specifications can be directly made. Therefore, the position where the water pipe on the target ice-making mold is installed is taken as the water injection position.
[0035] Step S104: determining the ice making temperature, target water injection amount and target water injection speed according to the ice making specification and the water injection position, and injecting water into the target ice making mold at the target water injection amount and the target water injection speed.
[0036] The ice-making temperature refers to the temperature used to freeze the ice-making specifications, and the target water injection volume refers to the amount of water injected into the cavity of the target ice-making mold. The target water injection volume and the target water injection speed are used to control the water pipe to inject water into the cavity of the target ice-making mold. The ice-making temperature, target water injection volume, and target water injection speed are matched from the preset ice-making database through the ice-making specifications and the water injection position. The correspondence between ice-making specifications, water injection positions, ice-making temperatures, target water injection volumes, and target water injection speeds is stored in the ice-making database. The ice-making database is a manually set database and will not be described in detail here.
[0037] In this embodiment, the water pipes corresponding to the various chambers can be filled with water at the same time, or individual water pipes can be controlled to fill with different amounts of water.
[0038] Step S105: Control the preset ice-making machine to operate at the ice-making temperature, and obtain the freezing time.
[0039] Freezing time refers to the time it takes for the ice maker to freeze the target amount of water. When the water pipe is filled with water, the ice maker is controlled to run at the ice-making temperature and timing is performed. The time parameter obtained by timing is used as the freezing time.
[0040] Step S106: Determine the water surface height and water surface area according to the target water injection speed, ice making specifications and freezing time.
[0041] The water level height refers to the height of the water surface in the chamber at the freezing time. The water surface area refers to the area of the water surface in the chamber at the freezing time. The target water injection speed, ice making specifications and freezing time are input into the preset water level database to match the water level height and water surface area. The water level database stores the water level height and water surface area corresponding to different target water injection speeds, ice making specifications and freezing times in the spherical chamber. The water level database is a manually set database and will not be described in detail here.
[0042] Step S107: Determine the water injection distance according to the water surface height and the water injection position.
[0043] The water injection distance refers to the distance between the water pipe and the water surface in the chamber when the water pipe is injecting water. The maximum vertical distance from the injection position to the chamber is obtained from the ice making specifications, and the vertical height corresponding to the injection position is obtained from the water surface height. The difference between the maximum distance and the vertical height is calculated as the water injection distance.
[0044] Step S108: updating the target water injection speed according to the water injection distance and the water surface area, and injecting water into the target ice-making mold at the updated target water injection speed.
[0045] The correction coefficient is matched from the preset water injection database by the water injection distance and the water surface area, and the product of the correction coefficient and the target water injection speed is calculated as the new target water injection speed, and the target ice-making mold is injected with water at the updated target water injection speed. The water injection database stores the correction coefficients of the water injection speed corresponding to different water injection distances and water surface areas. The water injection database is a manually set database and will not be described in detail here.
[0046] Step S109: determining a reference freezing time according to the ice making temperature and the target water injection amount.
[0047] The reference freezing time refers to the maximum freezing time required for the target water injection amount. The reference freezing time is matched from the ice making database by the ice making temperature and the target water injection amount. The ice making database also stores the reference freezing time corresponding to different ice making temperatures and target water injection amounts, which will not be described in detail here.
[0048] Step S110: When the freezing time is consistent with the reference freezing time, the ice maker is controlled to demould to form ice balls corresponding to the ice making specifications.
[0049] When the freezing time is consistent with the reference freezing time, it indicates that an ice ball has been formed in the target ice-making mold, so the timing is reset and the ice machine is controlled to demould to form an ice ball corresponding to the ice-making specification.
[0050] Reference Figure 2 , an ice making method of an ice making machine, further comprising the following steps: Step S200: if the ice making specification exceeds the reference ice making specification, determine the dispersed ice making specification and the dispersed quantity according to the ice making specification, and define the ice balls corresponding to the dispersed ice making specification as dispersed ice balls.
[0051] The dispersed ice making specification refers to the ice ball specification corresponding to the ice ball used for combined freezing to form the ice making specification. The dispersed quantity refers to the quantity required for combined freezing of a dispersed ice making specification to form the ice ball of the ice making specification.
[0052] When the ice making specification exceeds the reference ice making specification, it means that it is not easy to directly make the ice ball corresponding to the ice making specification, so the dispersed ice making specification and dispersed quantity are matched from the ice making database according to the ice making specification. The ice making database also stores the dispersed ice making specifications and dispersed quantities corresponding to different ice making specifications. The dispersed ice ball is the ice ball corresponding to the dispersed ice making specification.
[0053] In this embodiment, the dispersed ice-making specifications are provided with at least two different ice ball specifications, and the dispersed ice-making specifications are all smaller than the reference ice-making specifications.
[0054] Step S201: calling a placement position according to a target ice-making mold, and controlling a dispersed number of dispersed ice balls to move to the placement position.
[0055] The placement position refers to the position of the placement hole opened on the chamber. The specifications of the target ice-making mold are queried, and the position of the placement hole is retrieved from the specifications as the placement position, and a dispersed number of dispersed ice balls are controlled to move to the placement position.
[0056] Step S202: determining the remaining water injection amount according to the dispersed ice making specification and the ice making specification and injecting the remaining water injection amount into the target ice making mold.
[0057] The remaining water injection volume refers to the remaining amount of water that needs to be injected. The remaining water injection volume is matched from the water injection database through the ice making specifications and the dispersed ice making specifications, and the remaining water injection volume is used to control the water pipe to inject into the chamber. The water injection database also stores the remaining water injection volumes corresponding to different ice making specifications and dispersed ice making specifications, which will not be described in detail here.
[0058] Step S203: determining the target freezing time and target freezing temperature according to the remaining water injection volume.
[0059] The target freezing time refers to the time required for combined freezing of dispersed ice making specifications, and the target freezing temperature refers to the temperature required for combined freezing of dispersed ice making specifications. The target freezing time and target freezing temperature are matched from the ice making database by the remaining water injection amount. The ice making database also stores the target freezing time and target freezing temperature corresponding to different remaining water injection amounts, which will not be described in detail here.
[0060] Step S204: when the remaining water injection volume is completed, the preset ice-making machine is controlled to operate at the target freezing temperature and the freezing time is obtained.
[0061] The detection freezing time refers to the time for combined freezing of dispersed ice-making specifications. When the remaining water injection is completed, the preset ice-making machine is controlled to operate at the target freezing temperature and timing is performed. The timing result is used as the detection freezing time.
[0062] Step S205: When the detected freezing time is consistent with the target freezing time, the ice maker is controlled to demould to form ice balls corresponding to the ice making specifications.
[0063] When the detected freezing time is consistent with the target freezing time, it means that the dispersed ice making specifications have completed the combined freezing, so the ice making machine is controlled to demould to form ice balls corresponding to the ice making specifications.
[0064] The method before completing the water injection of the remaining water injection volume comprises the following steps: Step S300: determining the gap ice making volume and the gap quantity of a single gap according to the ice making specification, the dispersed ice making specification and the dispersed quantity.
[0065] The gap ice-making volume refers to the volume of a single gap between ice balls when the dispersed ice-making specifications are combined and frozen, and the number of gaps refers to the number of gap ice-making volumes. The gap ice-making volume and the number of gaps are matched from the preset gap database through the ice-making specifications, dispersed ice-making specifications and dispersed quantities. The gap database stores the gap ice-making volumes and the number of gaps corresponding to different ice-making specifications, dispersed ice-making specifications and dispersed quantities. The gap database is a manually set database and will not be described in detail here. For example, when each sphere of the same volume is placed in a sphere chamber of a fixed size, if the volume of the placed ice balls is 10, the volume of the ice balls that can be placed in the gap needs to be less than 2.6.
[0066] Step S301: selecting the dispersed ice-making specifications whose volume is smaller than the gap ice-making volume as the marked ice-making specifications according to the dispersed ice-making specifications, and selecting the marked ice-making specifications with the largest specifications from the marked ice-making specifications as the gap ice-making specifications.
[0067] The marked ice-making specification refers to the specification of the ice ball that can be placed in the gap ice-making volume, and the gap ice-making specification refers to the largest ice ball specification that can be placed in the gap ice-making volume. The dispersed ice-making specification corresponding to the gap ice-making volume is selected from different dispersed ice-making specifications as the marked ice-making specification, and the largest marked ice-making specification is selected from different marked ice-making specifications as the gap ice-making specification.
[0068] Step S302: determining the gap arrangement positions according to the gap ice making volume and the gap quantity, and placing the ice in the target ice making mold according to the gap ice making specifications, gap ice making quantity and gap arrangement positions.
[0069] The gap arrangement position refers to the position for placing the ice ball corresponding to the gap ice making specification. The gap arrangement position is matched from the gap database through the gap ice making volume and the gap number, and the preset clamping device is controlled to be placed in the target ice making mold with the gap ice making specification, gap ice making number and gap arrangement position. The clamping device is a mechanical clamp specially used to clamp the ice ball. The gap database also stores the gap arrangement positions corresponding to different gap ice making volumes and gap numbers, which will not be described here.
[0070] Step S303: updating the remaining water injection volume, target freezing time and target freezing temperature according to the gap ice making specification and the gap quantity.
[0071] The volume of the ice ball is retrieved through the gap ice making specification, and the difference between the gap ice making volume and the volume of the ice ball is calculated as the volume deviation value, and the volume deviation value is input into the water injection database to match the new remaining water injection volume, target freezing time and target freezing temperature. The water injection database also stores the water injection volume, freezing time and temperature corresponding to the volume of different gaps, which will not be described in detail here.
[0072] Reference Figure 3 , the preset water injection method includes the following steps: Step S400: Obtaining weight detection information in the target ice-making mold.
[0073] The weight detection information refers to the weight value borne by the cavity in the target ice-making mold, and the parameters detected by the pressure sensor preset at the bottom of the cavity are used as the weight detection information.
[0074] Step S401: Determine reference weight information according to the remaining water injection volume.
[0075] The reference weight information refers to the reference weight value corresponding to the chamber with the remaining water injection, and the reference weight information is matched from the water injection database by the remaining water injection. The water injection database also stores reference weight information corresponding to different remaining water injection amounts, which will not be described in detail here.
[0076] Step S402: When the weight detection information is consistent with the reference weight information, the amount of uninjected water is obtained.
[0077] The uninjected water volume refers to the amount of water in the water pipe that has not been injected into the chamber. When the weight detection information is consistent with the reference weight information, it means that the bubbles that have not been discharged from the corresponding water in the chamber can be inspected. Therefore, the corresponding water volume parameter of the water level detected by the water level sensor preset in the water pipe is used as the uninjected water volume.
[0078] Step S403: Determine whether the amount of uninjected water is 0.
[0079] By determining whether the amount of uninjected water is 0, it is determined whether there are unexpelled bubbles in the chamber.
[0080] Step S4031: When the amount of uninjected water is 0, control the preset vibration device to operate at a preset reference vibration power.
[0081] The reference vibration power is the vibration power set by the technicians for further inspection of the chambers without unexhausted bubbles. When the amount of uninjected water is 0, it means that there are no unexhausted bubbles in the chamber, so the preset vibration device is controlled to operate at the reference vibration power. The vibration device is an ultrasonic transducer.
[0082] Step S4032: When the amount of uninjected water is not 0, the vibration power is determined according to the amount of uninjected water and the preset vibration device is controlled to operate, and the detected exhaust wind speed at the placement position is obtained.
[0083] Vibration power refers to the power used to vibrate the chamber where there are unexhausted bubbles. When the amount of uninjected water is not 0, it means that there are no unexhausted bubbles in the chamber. Therefore, the vibration power is matched by inputting the amount of uninjected water into the preset vibration database, and the vibration device is controlled to operate at the vibration power. The vibration database stores vibration powers corresponding to different amounts of uninjected water. The vibration database is a manually set database and will not be described here. The exhaust wind speed detection refers to the wind speed corresponding to the placement position. The parameter detected by the wind speed sensor preset at the placement position is used as the exhaust wind speed detection parameter.
[0084] Step S404: Determine the estimated minimum exhaust air velocity according to the amount of uninjected water and the vibration power.
[0085] The estimated minimum exhaust wind speed refers to the minimum estimated wind speed generated when the bubbles in the water corresponding to the chamber burst. The estimated minimum exhaust wind speed is matched from the vibration database by the uninjected water volume and the vibration power. The vibration database also stores the estimated minimum exhaust wind speeds corresponding to different uninjected water volumes and vibration powers, which will not be elaborated here.
[0086] Step S405: When the detected exhaust wind speed is less than the estimated minimum exhaust wind speed, a difference between the estimated minimum exhaust wind speed and the detected exhaust wind speed is calculated and used as a wind speed deviation value.
[0087] The wind speed deviation value refers to the deviation between the detected exhaust wind speed and the estimated minimum exhaust wind speed. When the detected exhaust wind speed is less than the estimated minimum exhaust wind speed, it means that there are still bubbles in the chamber after vibration. Therefore, the difference between the estimated minimum exhaust wind speed and the detected exhaust wind speed is calculated as the wind speed deviation value.
[0088] Step S406: updating the vibration power according to the wind speed deviation value and controlling the operation of the vibration device until the detected exhaust wind speed is consistent with the estimated minimum exhaust wind speed, and then injecting water into the target ice-making mold with the uninjected water amount.
[0089] A new vibration power is matched from the vibration database through the wind speed deviation value to control the operation of the vibration device, and the water pipe is controlled to inject water into the target ice-making mold with the uninjected water volume until the detected exhaust wind speed is consistent with the estimated minimum exhaust wind speed.
[0090] The preset mold inspection method includes the following steps: Step S500: determining a reference detection pressure value according to the target water injection volume, the dispersed water injection volume and the remaining water injection volume.
[0091] The reference detection pressure value refers to the reference pressure value of the chamber when the chamber is filled with water at the target water injection volume, the dispersed water injection volume or the remaining water injection volume. The corresponding reference detection pressure value is matched from the preset pressure database through the target water injection volume, the dispersed water injection volume and the remaining water injection volume. The pressure database stores the reference pressure values corresponding to the ice ball production with different water injection volumes. The pressure database is a database set by humans and will not be described in detail here.
[0092] Step S501: updating a reference detection pressure value according to a preset detection power, and acquiring a detection pressure value in a target ice-making mold.
[0093] The inspection power is the power set by the technician for the operation of the inspection device for inspecting whether the mold is leaking. The correction value set by the technician is obtained by inspecting the power, and the product of the correction value and the reference inspection pressure value is calculated as the new reference inspection pressure value. The inspection pressure value refers to the pressure value of the cavity of the target ice-making mold, and the parameters detected by the pressure sensors set at various angles of the inner wall corresponding to the cavity of the target ice-making mold are used as the inspection pressure value.
[0094] Step S502: determining a pressure detection change value according to the detection pressure value and the updated reference detection pressure value.
[0095] The pressure detection change value refers to the deviation value between the detection pressure value and the updated reference detection pressure value, and the difference between the detection pressure value and the updated reference detection pressure value is calculated as the pressure detection change value.
[0096] Step S503: Determine a reference pressure change value according to the reference detection pressure values before and after the update.
[0097] The reference pressure change value refers to the pressure change value of the reference detection pressure value during the inspection by the inspection device, and is obtained by calculating the difference between the reference detection pressure values before and after the update as the reference pressure change value.
[0098] Step S504: When the pressure detection change value is less than the reference pressure change value, a pressure deviation value is calculated according to the pressure detection change value and the reference pressure change value, and a water leakage estimation position is determined according to the pressure deviation value and a preset pressure detection position.
[0099] The pressure deviation value refers to the deviation between the pressure detection change value and the reference pressure change value. When the pressure detection change value is less than the reference pressure change value, it indicates that the mold is leaking. Therefore, the difference between the pressure detection change value and the reference pressure change value is calculated as the pressure deviation value. The pressure detection position is the position set by the technician for detecting the pressure value. There are multiple pressure detection positions evenly arranged on the inner wall of the chamber.
[0100] Step S505: determining the amount of leaked water and the emergency refrigeration power corresponding to the amount of leaked water according to the pressure deviation value.
[0101] The amount of water leakage refers to the amount of water leaked from the target ice-making mold when the inspection device is inspected. The emergency freezing power refers to the power of emergency freezing the leaking position. The amount of water leakage and the emergency freezing power are matched from the preset pressure database through the pressure deviation value. The pressure database stores the amount of water leakage and the emergency freezing power corresponding to different pressure deviation values. The pressure database is a database set by humans and will not be described in detail here.
[0102] Step S506: Inject the leaked water into the target ice-making mold corresponding to the estimated water leakage position according to the leaked water amount, control the ice-making machine to operate at the estimated water leakage position and the accelerated refrigeration power, and update the pressure detection change value.
[0103] By controlling the water pipe of the upper chamber of the target ice-making mold corresponding to the estimated water leakage position to inject water with the leaked water amount, controlling the ice-making machine to operate with accelerated freezing power, and controlling the fan preset on the ice-making machine to deliver cold air at the estimated water leakage position, and re-executing steps S500 to S503 to obtain a new pressure detection change value.
[0104] Step S507: when the updated pressure detection change value is less than the reference pressure change value, output a preset alarm message.
[0105] The alarm information is set by the technician to remind the operator of mold leakage. When the updated pressure detection change value is less than the reference pressure change value, it means that the ice maker has not frozen the leakage position, so the alarm information is output to the terminal held by the operator.
[0106] The preset ice making process includes the following steps: Step S600: obtaining ice ball image information corresponding to the dispersed ice making specification.
[0107] The ice ball image information refers to the image of the ice ball corresponding to the dispersed ice making specification, and the image of the preset ice ball storage position is captured by a camera preset on the ice maker as the ice ball image information. The ice ball storage position is the position where the technician sets the ice ball corresponding to the dispersed ice making specification to be stored.
[0108] Step S601: when the ice ball image information includes a preset abnormal feature, determining the abnormal quantity, abnormal type and abnormal image according to the ice ball image information and the abnormal feature.
[0109] The abnormal features are the shape features corresponding to the cracks and bubbles in the ice ball set by the technicians. The number of abnormalities refers to the number of abnormal features in the ice ball image information, the abnormal type refers to the type corresponding to the abnormal features, and the abnormal image refers to the image corresponding to the abnormal features.
[0110] When the ice ball image information contains abnormal features, it means that the ice ball corresponding to the dispersed ice-making specifications has cracks, bubbles and other abnormalities. Therefore, the image corresponding to the abnormal feature is selected from the ice ball image information box as the abnormal image, the number of abnormal images is taken as the abnormal number, and the abnormal image is overlapped and compared with the abnormal feature to obtain the type corresponding to the abnormal feature as the abnormal type.
[0111] Step S602: Determine the outline and extension range of the ice block according to the ice ball image information and the abnormal image.
[0112] The ice cube contour refers to the contour of the ice ball corresponding to the ice ball image information, and the contour corresponding to the preset ice ball features is identified through the ice ball image information as the ice cube contour. The ice ball features are the shape and color of the ice ball set by the technician.
[0113] The extension range refers to the extension range of the cracks or bubbles in the ice ball, and the range corresponding to the abnormal image in the ice ball image information is used as the extension range.
[0114] Step S603: Determine an estimated repair volume according to the abnormal image and the extension range.
[0115] The estimated repair volume refers to the estimated volume of the repair of the abnormality in the ice ball, and the estimated repair volume is matched from a preset repair database through the abnormal image and the extension range. The repair database stores the estimated repair volumes corresponding to different abnormal images and extension ranges. The repair database is a database set by humans and will not be described in detail here.
[0116] Step S604: determining a baseline abnormal quantity according to the dispersed ice making specification and the ice making specification.
[0117] The reference anomaly number refers to the maximum number of abnormal features in a single ice ball, and the reference anomaly number is matched from the ice making database by dispersing ice making specifications and ice making specifications. The ice making database also stores different dispersing ice making specifications and reference anomaly numbers corresponding to ice making specifications, which will not be described in detail here.
[0118] Step S605: Determine whether the abnormality number is less than the reference abnormality number.
[0119] By determining whether the abnormality number is less than the benchmark abnormality number, it is determined whether the ice ball needs to be repaired.
[0120] Step S606: If the number of abnormalities is less than the reference number of abnormalities, and the ice block contour intersects with the extension range, the amount of repair water is determined based on the estimated repair volume and the remaining water injection amount.
[0121] The repair water volume refers to the amount of water that needs to be injected when the ice ball is repaired. When the number of abnormalities is less than the baseline number of abnormalities, and the ice block outline intersects with the extension range, it means that the ice ball can be directly repaired. The estimated repair volume is input into the preset repair database to match the water volume for repairing the abnormalities, and the sum of the remaining water injection volume and the water volume for repairing the abnormalities is calculated as the repair water volume. The repair database stores the water volume for repairing abnormalities corresponding to different estimated repair volumes. The repair database is a database set by humans and will not be described in detail here.
[0122] Step S607: Determine the repair freezing time and the repair freezing temperature according to the repair water volume.
[0123] The repair freezing time refers to the time required to freeze the target ice-making mold injected with the repair water amount, and the repair freezing temperature refers to the temperature required to freeze the target ice-making mold injected with the repair water amount. The repair freezing time and the repair freezing temperature are matched by inputting the repair water amount into the ice-making database. The ice-making database also stores the repair freezing time and the repair freezing temperature corresponding to different repair water amounts, which will not be described in detail here.
[0124] Step S608: Control the target ice-making mold to be filled with water with the repair water volume, control the ice-making machine to operate with the repair freezing time and the repair freezing temperature, and obtain the repair time.
[0125] The repair time refers to the time to repair the abnormal feature. The target ice mold with the abnormal ice ball is filled with water through the repair water control water pipe, and the ice machine is controlled to operate at the repair freezing time and repair freezing temperature. The timing is performed when the ice machine is running, and the timing result is used as the repair time. When the ice machine finishes running, the timing is reset.
[0126] Step S609: When the repair time is consistent with the repair freezing time, the ice maker is controlled to demould to form ice balls corresponding to the ice making specifications.
[0127] When the repair time is consistent with the repair freezing time, it means that the ice maker has completed the operation, and the water is squeezed into the cracks or bubbles by the increased water volume for repair, so the ice maker is controlled to demould to form an ice ball corresponding to the ice making specifications.
[0128] The preset ice making process also includes the following steps: Step S700: When the ice block contour does not intersect with the extension range and the anomaly type is a crack, determining the extension direction according to the extension range.
[0129] The extension direction refers to the direction in which the cracks or bubbles extend in the ice ball. When the ice block contour does not intersect with the extension range, it means that the ice ball cannot be repaired directly by injecting water. If the anomaly type is a crack, the extension direction is calculated by the two farthest vertices on the contour corresponding to the extension range.
[0130] Step S7001: When the abnormality type is a bubble, the abnormality position is determined according to a preset reference shooting angle, ice ball image information and abnormality features.
[0131] The benchmark shooting angle is the various angles for shooting the ice hockey puck set by the technicians. The abnormal position refers to the position of the abnormal feature in the ice hockey puck. When the abnormal type is a bubble, it is necessary to know the position of the bubble in the ice hockey puck. Therefore, the benchmark shooting angle is used to update the ice hockey puck image information, and a three-dimensional model of the ice hockey puck is established through the ice hockey puck image information before and after the update, and the position of the abnormal feature identified in the model is used as the abnormal position.
[0132] Step S7002: Determine different offset distances according to the abnormal position and the ice ball contour, and select the minimum offset distance as the marked offset distance.
[0133] The offset distance refers to the distance of the straight line that passes through the abnormal position and intersects with the outline of the ice ball. A straight line with both ends touching the outline of the ice ball is drawn based on the abnormal position, and the distance of the straight line is used as the offset distance. The marked offset distance is the smallest offset distance among different offset distances, which is obtained by arranging and selecting different offset distances.
[0134] Step S7003: Determine the marker offset direction according to the marker offset distance and the ice ball contour and use it as the extension direction.
[0135] The marker offset direction refers to the direction of the straight line corresponding to the marker offset distance, and the marker offset direction is used as the extension direction by taking the direction of the straight line corresponding to the marker offset distance as the marker offset direction.

[0139] The needle puncture distance refers to the distance required for acupuncture of an ice ball, and the mark offset distance is used as the needle puncture distance. The needle puncture temperature value refers to the temperature value required by the heating needle device when acupuncture is performed on an ice ball. The needle puncture temperature value is matched from the preset needle puncture database through the extension range. The needle puncture database stores the needle puncture temperature values corresponding to different extension ranges. The needle puncture database is a database set by humans and will not be described here. The heating needle device is a device that can heat the needle tip to puncture a hole in the ice ball.
[0140] Step S703: Control the preset heating needle device to perform acupuncture at the acupuncture temperature value, acupuncture position and acupuncture distance, and determine the estimated expansion volume according to the acupuncture distance and the acupuncture temperature value.
[0141] The estimated expansion volume refers to the volume of the ice ball expanded when the heating needle device is operated at the acupuncture distance and acupuncture temperature value. The estimated expansion volume is matched from the acupuncture database through the acupuncture distance and acupuncture temperature value. The acupuncture database also stores the estimated expansion volumes corresponding to different acupuncture distances and acupuncture temperature values, which will not be described here.
[0142] Step S704: Determine the total water volume for repair based on the estimated expansion volume and the remaining water injection volume.
[0143] The total amount of water for repair refers to the total amount of water needed to repair a punctured ice ball. The estimated expansion volume is input into the water injection database to match the amount of water for repairing the through-holes, and then the sum of the water volume of the repaired through-holes and the remaining water injection volume is calculated as the total amount of water for repairing.
[0144] Step S705: Determine the total repair time and target repair temperature according to the total repair water volume.
[0145] The total repair time refers to the total time required to repair a punctured ice ball, and the target repair temperature refers to the temperature required to repair a punctured ice ball. The total repair time and the target repair temperature are matched by inputting the total repair water volume into the ice making database.
[0146] Step S706: Control the target ice-making mold to be filled with water with the total repair water volume, control the ice-making machine to operate with the total repair time and the target repair temperature, and obtain the needle repair time.
[0147] The needle repair time refers to the time required to repair the ice ball punctured by the needle. The target ice-making mold with the punctured ice ball is filled with water by controlling the water pipe with the total repair water volume, and the ice-making machine is controlled to operate at the total repair time and the target repair temperature. The timing is performed when the ice-making machine is running, and the timing result is used as the needle repair time. When the ice-making machine finishes running, the timing is reset.
[0148] Step S707: When the needle repair time is consistent with the total repair time, the ice making machine is controlled to demould to form ice balls corresponding to the ice making specifications.
[0149] When the needle repair time is consistent with the total repair time, it means that the operation of the ice maker is finished, so the ice maker is controlled to demould to form ice balls corresponding to the ice making specifications.
[0150] The preset ice making inspection method also includes the following steps: Step S800: If the number of abnormalities is not less than the reference number of abnormalities, determining the abnormal surrounding shape and the estimated center position corresponding to the abnormal surrounding shape according to the abnormal position.

[0159] The crushed ice scanning information refers to the shape, size and other information obtained by scanning the crushed ice.

The crushed ice volume is obtained by combining the size of the crushed ice from the crushed ice scanning information and calculating them together.
[0160] Step S805: According to the crushed ice volume, a crushed ice volume that exceeds a preset reference crushed ice volume is selected as a marked crushed ice volume.
[0161] The reference crushed ice volume is the minimum crushed ice volume that can be used for repairs set by the technician.
