Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ice makers, and more particularly to an ice making method, system and terminal for an ice maker. Background Art

[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration mechanical device that circulates filtered water through an evaporator to a refrigeration system, and the refrigerant in the refrigeration system cools the water to form ice cubes.

[0003] The ice maker injects the filtered water into molds of different shapes at a fixed water injection speed, and compresses the refrigerant through the refrigeration system to form a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid mixture, which is then input into the evaporator. The low-temperature and low-pressure liquid mixture absorbs the heat around the mold, causing the ice maker to cool the water in the mold at a constant temperature and gradually freeze it into ice. After absorbing heat, the liquid mixture evaporates into a low-temperature and low-pressure gas, which is then sucked back into the refrigeration system to start a new refrigeration cycle.

[0004] During the process of making large ice balls, due to the large volume of the large ice balls, the fixed water injection speed and constant temperature will cause bubbles in the water in the mold and make it difficult to discharge the bubbles from the mold. Therefore, there are bubbles on the made large ice balls, reducing the ice making quality of the ice maker, which needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to improve the ice making quality of the ice maker, the present invention provides an ice making method, system and terminal for an ice maker.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an ice making method for an ice maker, adopting the following technical solution:

[0007] An ice making method for an ice maker includes:

[0008] Obtaining the ice making specification of the ice ball to be made;

[0009] Selecting a target ice making mold from a preset mold database according to the ice making specification;

[0010] Determining whether the ice making specification exceeds a preset reference ice making specification;

[0011] If the ice making specification does not exceed the reference ice making specification, determining the water injection position according to the target ice making mold;

[0012] Determining the ice making temperature, target water injection volume 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 volume and the target water injection speed;

[0013] Controlling a preset ice maker to operate at the ice making temperature and obtaining the freezing time;

[0014] Determine the water surface height and water surface area according to the target water injection speed, ice-making specification, and freezing time;

[0015] Determine the water injection distance according to the water surface height and water injection position;

[0016] Update the target water injection speed according to the water injection distance and water surface area, and inject water into the target ice-making mold at the updated target water injection speed;

[0017] Determine the reference freezing time according to the ice-making temperature and target water injection volume;

[0018] When the freezing time is consistent with the reference freezing time, control the ice maker to demold to form ice balls corresponding to the ice-making specification.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, analyze the ice-making specification and the target ice-making mold to obtain the ice-making temperature, target water injection volume, and target water injection speed, and then cooperate with the freezing time to obtain the water surface height and water surface area to update the target water injection speed, and inject water into the target mold at the updated target water injection speed, and control the ice maker to operate at the ice-making temperature, so as to control the water injection speed of the mold and the temperature of the ice maker to reduce the situation that air bubbles are difficult to discharge from the mold, thereby improving the ice-making quality of the ice maker.

[0020] Optionally, it further includes:

[0021] 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;

[0022] Retrieve the placement position according to the target ice-making mold, and control the dispersed ice balls with the dispersed quantity to move to the placement position;

[0023] Determine the remaining water injection volume according to the dispersed ice-making specification and the ice-making specification and inject it into the target ice-making mold;

[0024] Determine the target freezing time and target freezing temperature according to the remaining water injection volume;

[0025] When the injection of the remaining water injection volume is completed, control the preset ice maker to operate at the target freezing temperature and obtain the detected freezing time;

[0026] When the detected freezing time is consistent with the target freezing time, control the ice maker to demold to form ice balls corresponding to the ice-making specification.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, when the ice-making specification exceeds the reference ice-making specification, the dispersed ice-making specification is understood to obtain the dispersed water injection volume and the dispersed quantity. The dispersed ice balls corresponding to the dispersed quantity are placed in the placement position and the remaining water injection volume is injected, and the ice maker is controlled to demold to form ice balls corresponding to the ice-making specification. Thus, small-volume ice balls can be stacked and frozen to form large-volume ice balls, reducing the probability of bubbles generated by directly making large ice balls.

[0028] Optionally, the method before injecting the remaining water injection volume includes:

[0029] Determine the gap ice-making volume and the number of gaps of a single gap according to the ice-making specification, the dispersed ice-making specification, and the dispersed quantity;

[0032] Update the remaining water injection volume, the target freezing time, and the target freezing temperature according to the gap ice-making specification and the number of gaps.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the gap ice-making specification, the number of gaps, and the gap arrangement position are obtained by analyzing the gap situation of the dispersed ice-making specification and placed in the target ice-making mold. Thus, the gaps in the mold can be further filled, reducing the water injection and the bubbles generated by the water injection at the same time. The required freezing time is shorter, improving the ice-making quality of the ice maker and the production speed of the ice maker.

[0034] Optionally, the preset water injection method includes:

[0043] Update the vibration power according to the wind speed deviation value and control the operation of the vibration device until the detected exhaust air speed is consistent with the estimated minimum exhaust air speed, and then inject water into the target ice-making mold according to the un-injected water volume.

[0044] By adopting the above technical solution, understand the discharge situation of the bubbles in the mold by knowing the zeroing situation of the un-injected water volume and the comparison situation between the detected exhaust air speed and the estimated minimum exhaust air speed, and control the operation of the vibration device with the corresponding vibration power, so that the bubbles generated in the water during mold water injection can be discharged by vibration, thereby improving the ice-making quality of the ice maker.

[0045] Optionally, the preset mold inspection method includes:

[0046] Determine the reference detection pressure value according to the target water injection volume, the dispersed water injection volume, and the remaining water injection volume;

[0047] Update the reference detection pressure value according to the preset inspection power, and obtain the detection pressure value in the target ice-making mold;

[0048] Determine the pressure detection change value according to the detection pressure value and the updated reference detection pressure value;

[0049] Determine the reference pressure change value according to the reference detection pressure values before and after the update;

[0050] When the pressure detection change value is less than the reference pressure change value, calculate the pressure deviation value according to the pressure detection change value and the reference pressure change value, and determine the estimated leakage position according to the pressure deviation value and the preset pressure detection position;

[0051] Determine the leakage water volume and the urgent freezing power corresponding to the leakage water volume according to the pressure deviation value;

[0052] Inject the leakage water volume into the target ice-making mold corresponding to the estimated leakage position, control the ice maker to operate at the estimated leakage position and the urgent freezing power, and update the pressure detection change value;

[0053] When the updated pressure detection change value is less than the reference pressure change value, output the preset warning information.

[0054] By adopting the above technical solution, the change value of pressure detection is compared with the reference pressure change value, and based on the comparison result, the estimated leakage position, the leakage water volume, and the emergency freezing power are known, and the ice maker is controlled to operate to urgently freeze the estimated leakage position, so that the position of the mold leakage can be emergently treated.

[0055] Optionally, the preset ice-making treatment method includes:

[0056] Obtain the ice ball image information corresponding to the decentralized ice-making specification;

[0059] Determine the estimated repair volume according to the abnormal image and the extension range;

[0060] Determine the reference number of abnormalities according to the decentralized ice-making specification and the ice-making specification;

[0061] Determine whether the number of abnormalities is less than the reference number of abnormalities;

[0064] Control the target ice-making mold to inject water with the repair water volume, control the ice maker to operate with the repair freezing time and the repair freezing temperature, and obtain the repair time;

[0065] When the repair time is consistent with the repair freezing time, control the ice maker to demold to form an ice ball corresponding to the ice-making specification.

[0066] By adopting the above technical solution, by understanding the comparison situation between the number of abnormalities and the reference number of abnormalities, and the intersection situation between the ice block contour and the extension range, the repair water volume, the repair freezing time, and the repair freezing temperature are obtained, and water replenishment and the operation of the ice maker are controlled, so that the water volume can be changed to enhance the water pressure, the water can flow into the abnormality and be frozen and repaired, thereby improving the yield rate of ice ball production.

[0067] Optionally, the preset ice-making treatment method further includes:

[0068] When the ice block contour does not intersect with the extension range and the type of abnormality is a crack, determine the extension direction according to the extension range;

[0069] When the abnormal type is a bubble, determine the abnormal position according to the preset reference shooting angle, ice hockey image information and abnormal features;

[0070] Determine different offset distances according to the abnormal position and the ice hockey contour, and select the smallest offset distance as the marked offset distance;

[0076] Determine the total repair time and the target repair temperature according to the total repair water volume;

[0077] Control the target ice-making mold to inject water with the total repair water volume, control the ice maker to operate with the total repair time and the target repair temperature, and obtain the needle insertion repair time;

[0079] By adopting the above technical solution, when the ice block contour and the extension range do not intersect, the needle insertion temperature value, the needle insertion position and the needle insertion distance are obtained through the extension direction, the ice hockey contour and the marked offset distance, and needle insertion is performed to penetrate the ice hockey, so that water can enter the ice hockey to facilitate freezing repair.

[0080] Optionally, the preset ice-making inspection method further includes:

[0092] By adopting the above technical solution, the knocking position and the knocking force are obtained through the estimated offset distance, the abnormal surrounding shape and the estimated offset distance, the ice ball is knocked with the knocking position and the knocking force, and then the estimated recombined water volume is obtained and water is injected with the knocking force, the target crushed ice volume and the marked crushed ice volume, so that the cracks corresponding to the target crushed ice volume and the marked crushed ice volume can be repaired by water injection.

[0107] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0108] Referring to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present application discloses an ice making method of an ice maker, including the following steps:

[0109] Step S100: Obtain the ice making specifications of the ice ball to be made.

[0110] The ice making specifications refer to the specifications of the ice ball to be made, which are obtained through pre-input by the operator.

[0111] Step S101: Select a target ice making mold from a preset mold database according to the ice making specifications.

[0112] The mold database stores molds corresponding to different ice-making specifications. The mold database is a database set by humans and will not be elaborated here. The target ice-making mold refers to the mold for making ice balls corresponding to the ice-making specifications. By inputting the ice-making specifications into the mold database for query and matching, the target ice-making mold is selected. Water pipes for water injection are provided on each chamber corresponding to the molds in the mold database. An inspection device for checking for water leakage is provided on each chamber. The inspection device can be a device that controls the spring to pop out when powered off to squeeze the inner wall of the chamber. A placement hole for placing scattered ice balls is provided on the chamber, and a placement cover that cooperates with the placement hole is provided on the chamber. The inspection device refers to a device that can press each chamber of the mold. The target ice-making mold is made of rubber material.

[0113] Step S102: Determine whether the ice-making specification exceeds the preset reference ice-making specification.

[0114] The reference ice-making specification is the maximum specification set by technicians that can directly make ice balls. By determining whether the ice-making specification exceeds the reference ice-making specification, it is determined whether the ice balls corresponding to the ice-making specification can be directly made.

[0115] Step S103: If the ice-making specification does not exceed the reference ice-making specification, determine the water injection position according to the target ice-making mold.

[0116] The water injection position refers to the position where the target ice-making mold is injected with water. When the ice-making specification does not exceed the reference ice-making specification, it means that the ice balls corresponding to the ice-making specification can be directly made. Therefore, the position where the water pipe is installed on the target ice-making mold is retrieved as the water injection position.

[0117] Step S104: Determine the ice-making temperature, target water injection volume, and target water injection speed according to the ice-making specification and the water injection position, and inject water into the target ice-making mold at the target water injection volume and the target water injection speed.

[0118] The ice-making temperature refers to the temperature used to freeze the ice-making specification. The target water injection volume refers to the amount of water injected into the chamber of the target ice-making mold, and the water pipe is controlled to inject water into the chamber of the target ice-making mold at the target water injection volume and the target water injection speed. The ice-making temperature, target water injection volume, and target water injection speed are matched from the preset ice-making database according to the ice-making specification and the water injection position. The ice-making database stores the corresponding relationship between the ice-making specification, water injection position, ice-making temperature, target water injection volume, and target water injection speed. The ice-making database is a database set by humans and will not be elaborated here.

[0119] In this embodiment, the water pipes corresponding to each chamber can inject water simultaneously, or the individual water pipes can be controlled to inject different amounts of water.

[0120] Step S105: Control a preset ice maker to operate at an ice-making temperature and obtain the freezing time.

[0121] The freezing time refers to the time for the ice maker to freeze the target water injection volume. When the water injection into the water pipe is completed, control the ice maker to operate at the ice-making temperature and start timing, and use the obtained time parameter as the freezing time.

[0122] Step S106: Determine the water surface height and water surface area according to the target water injection speed, ice-making specification, and freezing time.

[0123] The water surface height refers to the height of the water surface in the chamber corresponding to the freezing time. The water surface area refers to the area of the water surface in the chamber corresponding to the freezing time. Input the target water injection speed, ice-making specification, and freezing time into a preset water level database to match the water surface height and water surface area. The water level database stores the water surface height and water surface area corresponding to different target water injection speeds, ice-making specifications, and freezing times in a spherical chamber. The water level database is a database set by humans and will not be elaborated here.

[0124] Step S107: Determine the water injection distance according to the water surface height and water injection position.

[0125] The water injection distance refers to the distance between the water pipe and the water surface in the chamber when water is injected. Retrieve the maximum vertical distance corresponding to this position from the ice-making specification according to the water injection position, and retrieve the vertical height corresponding to the water injection position from the water surface height, and calculate the difference between the maximum distance and the vertical height as the water injection distance.

[0126] Step S108: Update the target water injection speed according to the water injection distance and water surface area, and inject water into the target ice-making mold at the updated target water injection speed.

[0127] Match the correction coefficient from a preset water injection database according to the water injection distance and water surface area, and calculate the product of the correction coefficient and the target water injection speed as the new target water injection speed, and inject water into the target ice-making mold at the updated target water injection speed. The water injection database stores the correction coefficients of the water injection speeds corresponding to different water injection distances and water surface areas. The water injection database is a database set by humans and will not be elaborated here.

[0128] Step S109: Determine the reference freezing time according to the ice-making temperature and target water injection volume.

[0129] The reference freezing time refers to the maximum time required to freeze the target water injection volume. Match the reference freezing time from the ice-making database according to the ice-making temperature and target water injection volume. The ice-making database also stores the reference freezing times corresponding to different ice-making temperatures and target water injection volumes, which will not be elaborated here.

[0130] Step S110: When the freezing time is consistent with the reference freezing time, control the ice maker to demold to form ice balls corresponding to the ice making specification.

[0131] When the freezing time is consistent with the reference freezing time, it indicates that ice balls have been formed in the target ice making mold. Therefore, the timing is reset, and the ice maker is controlled to demold to form ice balls corresponding to the ice making specification.

[0132] Refer to Figure 2 , an ice making method of an ice maker, further comprising the following steps:

[0133] Step S200: When 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.

[0134] The dispersed ice making specification refers to the ice ball specification corresponding to the ice balls used for combined freezing to form the ice making specification. The dispersed quantity refers to the quantity of ice balls required for combined freezing with one dispersed ice making specification to form the ice making specification.

[0135] When the ice making specification exceeds the reference ice making specification, it indicates that it is not easy to directly make the ice balls corresponding to the ice making specification. Therefore, the dispersed ice making specification and the 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 specification and the dispersed quantity corresponding to different ice making specifications. The dispersed ice balls are the ice balls corresponding to the dispersed ice making specification.

[0136] In this embodiment, at least two different ice ball specifications are set for the dispersed ice making specification, and the dispersed ice making specifications are all smaller than the reference ice making specification.

[0137] Step S201: Retrieve the placement position according to the target ice making mold, and control the dispersed ice balls with the dispersed quantity to move to the placement position.

[0138] The placement position refers to the position of the placement hole opened on the chamber. By querying the specification of the target ice making mold and retrieving the position of the placement hole from the specification as the placement position, and controlling the dispersed ice balls with the dispersed quantity to move to the placement position.

[0139] Step S202: Determine the remaining water injection volume according to the dispersed ice making specification and the ice making specification, and inject it into the target ice making mold.

[0140] The remaining water injection volume refers to the remaining water volume that needs to be injected. The remaining water injection volume is matched from the water injection database according to the ice making specification and the dispersed ice making specification, and the water pipe is controlled to inject it into the chamber according to the remaining water injection volume. The water injection database also stores the remaining water injection volume corresponding to different ice making specifications and dispersed ice making specifications, which will not be elaborated here.

[0141] Step S203: Determine the target freezing time and the target freezing temperature according to the remaining water injection volume.

[0142] The target freezing time refers to the time required for combined freezing of the dispersed ice-making specifications, and the target freezing temperature refers to the temperature required for combined freezing of the dispersed ice-making specifications. The target freezing time and the target freezing temperature are matched from the ice-making database through the remaining water injection volume. The ice-making database also stores the target freezing time and the target freezing temperature corresponding to different remaining water injection volumes, which will not be elaborated here.

[0143] Step S204: When the water injection of the remaining water injection volume is completed, control the preset ice maker to operate at the target freezing temperature and obtain the detected freezing time.

[0144] The detected freezing time refers to the time for combined freezing of the dispersed ice-making specifications. When the water injection of the remaining water injection volume is completed, control the preset ice maker to operate at the target freezing temperature and start timing, and take the timing result as the detected freezing time.

[0145] Step S205: When the detected freezing time is consistent with the target freezing time, control the ice maker to demold to form ice balls corresponding to the ice-making specifications.

[0146] When the detected freezing time is consistent with the target freezing time, it indicates that the combined freezing of the dispersed ice-making specifications is completed. Therefore, control the ice maker to demold to form ice balls corresponding to the ice-making specifications.

[0147] The method before the water injection of the remaining water injection volume includes the following steps:

[0148] Step S300: Determine the gap ice-making volume of a single gap and the number of gaps according to the ice-making specifications, the dispersed ice-making specifications, and the dispersed quantity.

[0149] The gap ice-making volume refers to the single gap volume between ice balls during combined freezing of the dispersed ice-making specifications, and the number of gaps refers to the number of existing 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, the dispersed ice-making specifications, and the dispersed quantity. The gap database stores the gap ice-making volume and the number of gaps corresponding to different ice-making specifications, dispersed ice-making specifications, and dispersed quantities. The gap database is a database set by humans and will not be elaborated here. For example, when spheres of the same volume are placed in a spherical cavity 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.

[0150] Step S301: Select the dispersed ice-making specifications with a volume smaller than the gap ice-making volume as the marked ice-making specifications according to the dispersed ice-making specifications, and select the marked ice-making specification with the largest specification as the gap ice-making specification from the marked ice-making specifications.

[0151] The marked ice-making specification refers to the ice ball specification that can be placed within the intermittent ice-making volume, and the intermittent ice-making specification refers to the largest ice ball specification that can be placed within the intermittent ice-making volume. By selecting from different dispersed ice-making specifications those with a volume smaller than the dispersed ice-making specification corresponding to the intermittent ice-making volume as the marked ice-making specification, and then selecting from different marked ice-making specifications the one with the largest specification as the intermittent ice-making specification.

[0152] Step S302: Determine the intermittent arrangement positions based on the intermittent ice-making volume and the number of intervals, and place them in the target ice-making mold according to the intermittent ice-making specification, the number of intermittent ice-making, and the intermittent arrangement positions.

[0153] The intermittent arrangement position refers to the position for placing the ice balls corresponding to the intermittent ice-making specification. Match the intermittent arrangement positions from the intermittent database based on the intermittent ice-making volume and the number of intervals, and control the preset clamping device to place them in the target ice-making mold according to the intermittent ice-making specification, the number of intermittent ice-making, and the intermittent arrangement positions. The clamping device is a mechanical jaw specially for clamping ice balls. The intermittent database also stores the intermittent arrangement positions corresponding to different intermittent ice-making volumes and the number of intervals, which will not be elaborated here.

[0154] Step S303: Update the remaining water injection volume, the target freezing time, and the target freezing temperature according to the intermittent ice-making specification and the number of intervals.

[0155] Retrieve the volume of the ice ball according to the intermittent ice-making specification, and calculate the difference between the intermittent ice-making volume and the volume of the ice ball as the volume deviation value. Input the volume deviation value into the water injection database to match the new remaining water injection volume, the target freezing time, and the target freezing temperature. The water injection database also stores the water injection volume, the freezing time, and the temperature corresponding to different intermittent volumes, which will not be elaborated here.

[0156] Refer to Figure 3 , the preset water injection method includes the following steps:

[0157] Step S400: Obtain the weight detection information within the target ice-making mold.

[0158] The weight detection information refers to the weight value borne by the chamber within the target ice-making mold, and the parameters detected by the pressure sensor preset at the bottom of the chamber are used as the weight detection information.

[0159] Step S401: Determine the reference weight information according to the remaining water injection volume.

[0160] The reference weight information refers to the weight value corresponding to the chamber injected with the remaining water injection volume, and the reference weight information is matched from the water injection database through the remaining water injection volume. Different reference weight information corresponding to different remaining water injection volumes is also stored in the water injection database, which will not be elaborated here.

[0161] Step S402: When the weight detection information is consistent with the reference weight information, obtain the un-injected water volume.

[0162] The un-injected water volume refers to the water volume that has not been injected into the chamber in the water pipe. When the weight detection information is consistent with the reference weight information, it indicates that the bubbles remaining in the water corresponding to the chamber can be inspected. Therefore, the corresponding water volume parameter detected by the water level sensor preset in the water pipe is used as the un-injected water volume.

[0163] Step S403: Determine whether the un-injected water volume is 0.

[0164] By determining whether the un-injected water volume is 0, it is determined whether there are remaining bubbles in the chamber.

[0165] Step S4031: When the un-injected water volume is 0, control the preset vibration device to operate at the preset reference vibration power.

[0166] The reference vibration power is the vibration power set by the technician for further inspection of the chamber without remaining bubbles. When the un-injected water volume is 0, it indicates that there are no remaining bubbles in the chamber. Therefore, control the preset vibration device to operate at the reference vibration power. The vibration device is an ultrasonic transducer.

[0167] Step S4032: When the un-injected water volume is not 0, determine the vibration power according to the un-injected water volume and control the preset vibration device to operate, and obtain the detected exhaust air speed at the placement position.

[0168] The vibration power refers to the power used to vibrate the chamber with remaining bubbles. When the un-injected water volume is not 0, it indicates that there are remaining bubbles in the chamber. Therefore, input the un-injected water volume into the preset vibration database to match the vibration power, and control the vibration device to operate at the vibration power. Different vibration powers corresponding to different un-injected water volumes are stored in the vibration database, which is a database set by humans and will not be elaborated here. The detected exhaust air speed refers to the wind speed corresponding to the placement position, and the parameter detected by the wind speed sensor preset at the placement position is used as the detected exhaust air speed.

[0169] Step S404: Determine the estimated minimum exhaust air speed according to the un-injected water volume and the vibration power.

[0170] The estimated minimum exhaust air velocity refers to the minimum estimated air velocity generated when the bubbles in the water corresponding to the chamber burst. The estimated minimum exhaust air velocity is matched from the vibration database based on the un-injected water volume and the vibration power. The vibration database also stores the estimated minimum exhaust air velocities corresponding to different un-injected water volumes and vibration powers, which will not be elaborated here.

[0171] Step S405: When the detected exhaust air velocity is less than the estimated minimum exhaust air velocity, calculate the difference between the estimated minimum exhaust air velocity and the detected exhaust air velocity as the air velocity deviation value.

[0172] The air velocity deviation value refers to the deviation value between the detected exhaust air velocity and the estimated minimum exhaust air velocity. When the detected exhaust air velocity is less than the estimated minimum exhaust air velocity, it indicates that there are still bubbles in the chamber after vibration. Therefore, calculate the difference between the estimated minimum exhaust air velocity and the detected exhaust air velocity as the air velocity deviation value.

[0173] Step S406: Update the vibration power according to the air velocity deviation value and control the operation of the vibration device until the detected exhaust air velocity is consistent with the estimated minimum exhaust air velocity, and then inject water into the target ice-making mold with the un-injected water volume.

[0174] Match a new vibration power from the vibration database according to the air velocity deviation value to control the operation of the vibration device until the detected exhaust air velocity is consistent with the estimated minimum exhaust air velocity, and then control the water pipe to inject water into the target ice-making mold with the un-injected water volume.

[0175] The preset mold inspection method includes the following steps:

[0176] Step S500: Determine the reference detection pressure value according to the target water injection volume, the dispersed water injection volume, and the remaining water injection volume.

[0177] The reference detection pressure value refers to the reference pressure value received by the chamber when injecting water into the chamber with 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 according to 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 different water injection volumes for making ice balls. The pressure database is a database set by humans and will not be elaborated here.

[0178] Step S501: Update the reference detection pressure value according to the preset inspection power and obtain the detection pressure value inside the target ice-making mold.

[0179] The inspection power is the power for the operation of the inspection device set by the technician to check whether the mold leaks. Through the inspection power, the correction value set by the technician is obtained, and the product of the correction value and the reference detection pressure value is calculated as the new reference detection pressure value. The detection pressure value refers to the pressure value received by the chamber of the target ice-making mold, and the parameters detected by the pressure sensors set at various angles on the inner side wall corresponding to the chamber of the target ice-making mold are used as the detection pressure value.

[0180] Step S502: Determine the pressure detection change value based on the detection pressure value and the updated reference detection pressure value.

[0181] 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.

[0182] Step S503: Determine the reference pressure change value based on the reference detection pressure values before and after the update.

[0183] The reference pressure change value refers to the pressure change value of the reference detection pressure value during the inspection of the inspection device, and the difference between the reference detection pressure values before and after the update is calculated as the reference pressure change value.

[0184] Step S504: When the pressure detection change value is less than the reference pressure change value, calculate the pressure deviation value based on the pressure detection change value and the reference pressure change value, and determine the estimated leakage position based on the pressure deviation value and the preset pressure detection positions.

[0185] The pressure deviation value refers to the deviation value 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 there is a leakage in the mold. 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 positions are the positions set by the technician for detecting the pressure value. There are multiple pressure detection positions and they are evenly arranged on the inner side wall of the chamber.

[0186] Step S505: Determine the leakage water volume and the corresponding emergency freezing power according to the pressure deviation value.

[0187] The leakage water volume refers to the water volume leaked by the target ice-making mold during the inspection of the inspection device. The emergency freezing power refers to the power for urgently freezing the leakage position. The leakage water volume and the emergency freezing power are matched from the preset pressure database according to the pressure deviation value. Different leakage water volumes and emergency freezing powers corresponding to different pressure deviation values are stored in the pressure database. The pressure database is a database set by humans and will not be elaborated here.

[0188] Step S506: Inject water according to the leakage water volume into the target ice-making mold corresponding to the estimated leakage position, control the ice maker to operate at the estimated leakage position and the urgent freezing power, and update the pressure detection change value.

[0189] By controlling the water pipe in the upper chamber of the target ice-making mold corresponding to the estimated leakage position to inject water with the leakage water volume, controlling the ice maker to operate at the urgent freezing power, controlling the fan preset on the ice maker to deliver cold air at the estimated leakage position, and re-executing Step S500 to Step S503 to obtain a new pressure detection change value.

[0190] Step S507: When the updated pressure detection change value is less than the reference pressure change value, output a preset warning message.

[0191] The warning message is information set by the technician to prompt the operator that the mold is leaking. When the updated pressure detection change value is less than the reference pressure change value, it indicates that the ice maker has not frozen the leakage position, so the warning message is output to the terminal held by the operator.

[0192] The preset ice-making processing method includes the following steps:

[0193] Step S600: Obtain the ice ball image information corresponding to the decentralized ice-making specification.

[0194] The ice ball image information refers to the image of the ice ball corresponding to the decentralized ice-making specification. The image of the preset ice ball storage position is taken by the camera preset on the ice maker as the ice ball image information. The ice ball storage position is the position set by the technician where the ice balls corresponding to the decentralized ice-making specification are stored.

[0195] Step S601: When the ice ball image information contains preset abnormal features, determine the abnormal quantity, abnormal type, and abnormal image according to the ice ball image information and the abnormal features.

[0196] The abnormal features are the shape features corresponding to the cracks and bubbles in the ice balls set by the technician. The abnormal quantity 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.

[0197] When the ice ball image information contains abnormal features, it indicates that the ice balls corresponding to the decentralized ice-making specification have abnormalities such as cracks and bubbles. Therefore, the image corresponding to the abnormal features is selected from the ice ball image information as the abnormal image, the number of abnormal images is used as the abnormal quantity, and the abnormal image and the abnormal features are compared for coincidence to obtain the type corresponding to the abnormal features as the abnormal type.

[0198] Step S602: Determine the ice block contour and extension range according to the ice ball image information and the abnormal image.

[0199] The ice cube contour refers to the contour of the puck corresponding to the puck image information. The contour corresponding to the preset puck features is identified through the puck image information as the ice cube contour. The puck features are features such as the shape and color of the puck set by the technician.

[0200] The extension range refers to the range in which cracks or bubbles in the puck extend. The range corresponding to the abnormal image in the puck image information is used as the extension range.

[0201] Step S603: Determine the estimated repair volume based on the abnormal image and the extension range.

[0202] The estimated repair volume refers to the estimated volume for repairing the abnormality in the puck. The estimated repair volume is matched from the 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 elaborated here.

[0203] Step S604: Determine the reference abnormal quantity according to the decentralized ice-making specification and the ice-making specification.

[0204] The reference abnormal quantity refers to the maximum quantity of abnormal features existing in a single puck. The reference abnormal quantity is matched from the ice-making database through the decentralized ice-making specification and the ice-making specification. The ice-making database also stores the reference abnormal quantities corresponding to different decentralized ice-making specifications and ice-making specifications and will not be elaborated here.

[0205] Step S605: Determine whether the abnormal quantity is less than the reference abnormal quantity.

[0206] By determining whether the abnormal quantity is less than the reference abnormal quantity, it is determined whether the puck needs to be repaired.

[0207] Step S606: When the abnormal quantity is less than the reference abnormal quantity and the ice cube contour intersects with the extension range, determine the repair water volume according to the estimated repair volume and the remaining water injection volume.

[0208] The repair water volume refers to the water volume that needs to be injected when repairing the puck. When the abnormal quantity is less than the reference abnormal quantity and the ice cube contour intersects with the extension range, it means that the puck can be directly repaired. By inputting the estimated repair volume into the preset repair database to match the water volume for repairing the abnormality, and calculating the sum of the remaining water injection volume and the water volume for repairing the abnormality as the repair water volume. The repair database stores the water volumes for repairing abnormalities corresponding to different estimated repair volumes. The repair database is a database set by humans and will not be elaborated here.

[0209] Step S607: Determine the repair freezing time and the repair freezing temperature according to the repair water volume.

[0210] The repair freezing time refers to the time required to freeze the target ice-making mold injected with the repair water volume, and the repair freezing temperature refers to the temperature required to freeze the target ice-making mold injected with the repair water volume. The repair freezing time and the repair freezing temperature are matched through the input of the repair water volume 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 volumes, which will not be elaborated here.

[0211] Step S608: Control the target ice-making mold to inject water with the repair water volume, control the ice maker to operate with the repair freezing time and the repair freezing temperature, and obtain the repair time.

[0212] The repair time refers to the time required to repair the abnormal features. By controlling the water pipe to inject water with the repair water volume into the target ice-making mold of the ice ball with abnormalities, controlling the ice maker to operate with the repair freezing time and the repair freezing temperature, and timing during the operation of the ice maker, the timing result is used as the repair time. When the ice maker finishes running, reset the timing.

[0213] Step S609: When the repair time is consistent with the repair freezing time, control the ice maker to demold to form an ice ball corresponding to the ice-making specification.

[0214] When the repair time is consistent with the repair freezing time, it indicates that the ice maker has completed running, and the added water volume is used to squeeze the water into the cracks or bubbles for repair. Therefore, control the ice maker to demold to form an ice ball corresponding to the ice-making specification.

[0215] The preset ice-making treatment method further includes the following steps:

[0216] Step S700: When the ice block contour and the extension range do not intersect and the abnormal type is a crack, determine the extension direction according to the extension range.

[0217] The extension direction refers to the direction in which the crack or bubble extends within the ice ball. When the ice block contour and the extension range do not intersect, it means that the ice ball cannot be directly injected with water for repair, and when the abnormal type is a crack, the straight line direction calculated by the two farthest vertices on the contour corresponding to the extension range is used as the extension direction.

[0218] Step S7001: When the abnormal type is a bubble, determine the abnormal position according to the preset reference shooting angle, ice ball image information, and abnormal features.

[0219] The reference shooting angles are the various angles for technicians to shoot the puck. The abnormal position refers to the position of the abnormal feature within the puck. When the abnormal type is a bubble, it is necessary to know the position of the bubble within the puck. Therefore, the puck image information is updated through the reference shooting angles, and a three-dimensional model of the puck is established based on the puck image information before and after the update. The position where the abnormal feature is identified within the model is taken as the abnormal position.

[0220] Step S7002: Determine different offset distances based on the abnormal position and the puck contour, and select the smallest offset distance as the marked offset distance.

[0221] The offset distance refers to the straight-line distance that passes through the abnormal position and intersects and abuts against the puck contour. A straight line with both ends abutting against the puck contour is drawn with the abnormal position as the reference, and the distance of this straight line is taken 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.

[0222] Step S7003: Determine the marked offset direction based on the marked offset distance and the puck contour and use it as the extension direction.

[0223] The marked offset direction refers to the direction of the straight line corresponding to the marked offset distance. The direction of the straight line corresponding to the marked offset distance is used as the marked offset direction, and the marked offset direction is used as the extension direction.

[0224] Step S701: Determine the needle insertion position based on the extension direction and the puck contour.

[0225] The needle insertion position refers to the position for inserting a needle into the puck. The position point where the straight line corresponding to the extension direction intersects the puck contour is taken as the needle insertion position.

[0226] Step S702: Determine the needle insertion distance and the needle insertion temperature value based on the marked offset distance and the extension range.

[0227] The needle insertion distance refers to the distance required for inserting a needle into the puck. The marked offset distance is used as the needle insertion distance. The needle insertion temperature value refers to the temperature value required by the heating needle device when inserting a needle into the puck. The needle insertion temperature value is matched from the preset needle insertion database through the extension range. Different extension ranges corresponding to needle insertion temperature values are stored in the needle insertion database. The needle insertion database is a database set by humans and will not be elaborated here. The heating needle device is a device whose needle tip can be heated to puncture a through hole in the puck.

[0228] Step S703: Control the preset heating needle device to insert the needle at the needle insertion temperature value, the needle insertion position, and the needle insertion distance, and determine the estimated expansion volume based on the needle insertion distance and the needle insertion temperature value.

[0229] The estimated expansion volume refers to the volume of the ice ball expanded when the heating needle device operates at the needle insertion distance and the needle insertion temperature value. The estimated expansion volume is matched from the needle insertion database based on the needle insertion distance and the needle insertion temperature value. Different needle insertion distances and needle insertion temperature values and their corresponding estimated expansion volumes are also stored in the needle insertion database, which will not be elaborated here.

[0230] Step S704: Determine the total repair water volume based on the estimated expansion volume and the remaining water injection volume.

[0231] The total repair water volume refers to the total water volume required to repair the ice ball after puncture. The water volume for repairing the through hole is matched by inputting the estimated expansion volume into the water injection database, and then the sum of the water volume for repairing the through hole and the remaining water injection volume is calculated as the total repair water volume.

[0232] Step S705: Determine the total repair time and the target repair temperature based on the total repair water volume.

[0233] The total repair time refers to the total time required to repair the ice ball after puncture, and the target repair temperature refers to the temperature required to repair the ice ball after puncture. The total repair time and the target repair temperature are matched by inputting the total repair water volume into the ice making database.

[0234] Step S706: Control the target ice making mold to inject water with the total repair water volume, control the ice maker to operate at the total repair time and the target repair temperature, and obtain the needle insertion repair time.

[0235] The needle insertion repair time refers to the time required to repair the ice ball after needle insertion puncture. By controlling the water pipe to inject water with the total repair water volume for the target ice making mold with a punctured ice ball, controlling the ice maker to operate at the total repair time and the target repair temperature, and timing during the operation of the ice maker, the timing result is used as the needle insertion repair time. When the ice maker finishes running, the timing is reset.

[0236] Step S707: When the needle insertion repair time is the same as the total repair time, control the ice maker to demold to form an ice ball corresponding to the ice making specification.

[0237] When the needle insertion repair time is the same as the total repair time, it indicates that the operation of the ice maker has ended. Therefore, control the ice maker to demold to form an ice ball corresponding to the ice making specification.

[0238] The preset ice making inspection method further includes the following steps:

[0239] Step S800: If the number of abnormalities is not less than the reference number of abnormalities, determine the abnormal surrounding shape and the estimated center position corresponding to the abnormal surrounding shape based on the abnormal position.

[0240] The abnormal surrounding shape refers to the largest shape surrounded by connecting the positions of each abnormality. By connecting all the abnormal positions to form different ranges, the contour shape corresponding to the largest range is taken as the abnormal surrounding shape. The estimated center position refers to the center position corresponding to the abnormal surrounding shape. By splitting the abnormal surrounding shape to form each preset reference shape, and then splitting the shape formed by connecting the center points of each reference shape, the position of the center point of the final shape is taken as the estimated center position. The reference shape is a shape such as a square and a triangle set by technicians with a separate center position.

[0241] Step S801: Determine the estimated offset distance and the tapping position based on the estimated center position and the ice hockey contour.

[0242] The estimated offset distance refers to the distance that abuts against the inside of the ice hockey with the estimated center position as the reference. By drawing a straight line with one end abutting against the ice hockey contour with the estimated center position as the reference, and taking the distance of this straight line as the estimated offset distance.

[0244] The tapping force refers to the force value used to tap the ice hockey. By matching the tapping force from the preset tapping database based on the estimated offset distance and the abnormal surrounding shape, and controlling the preset tapping device to tap the ice hockey with the tapping force and the tapping position. The tapping database stores the tapping forces corresponding to different estimated offset distances and abnormal surrounding shapes. The tapping database is a database set by humans and will not be elaborated here. The tapping device refers to a hammer used to tap the ice hockey and connected to the robotic arm.

[0245] Step S803: Determine the crushed ice image information based on the ice cube image information and the preset ice cube features.

[0246] The crushed ice image information refers to the image of the crushed ice corresponding after tapping. After the tapping device taps, each image corresponding to the ice cube features is framed out from the ice cube image information as the crushed ice image information.

[0247] Step S804: Obtain the crushed ice scan information based on the crushed ice image information, and determine the volume of the crushed ice based on the crushed ice scan information.

[0248] The crushed ice scanning information refers to the shape, size, and other information obtained by scanning the crushed ice. The shape, size, and other information obtained by scanning the image information of the crushed ice through a preset infrared sensor and photographing the corresponding crushed ice are used as the crushed ice scanning information. The crushed ice volume refers to the volume of the crushed ice, and the crushed ice volume is obtained by combining and calculating the dimensions of the crushed ice retrieved from the crushed ice scanning information.

[0249] Step S805: Select the crushed ice volume corresponding to exceeding the preset reference crushed ice volume as the marked crushed ice volume according to the crushed ice volume.

[0250] The reference crushed ice volume is the minimum crushed ice volume set by technicians that can be used for repair. The marked crushed ice volume refers to the crushed ice volume that can be used for repair. The crushed ice volume corresponding to exceeding the reference crushed ice volume is selected from different crushed ice volumes as the marked crushed ice volume.

The cutting device can be a small ice carving machine.

[0255] The repair database contains the corresponding relationships among the knocking force, the target crushed ice volume, the marked crushed ice volume, the recombined ice-making specification, and the estimated recombined water volume. The repair database is a database set by humans and will not be elaborated here.
