[0030] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0031] The drinking water equipment and its control method and device, and computer-readable storage medium according to the embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Figure 1 It is a flow chart of a control method of a drinking water device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0033] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, the drinking water device includes a refrigeration device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the drinking water equipment includes:

[0034] S101, when the refrigeration device is in operation, obtaining a control instruction of ice transparency.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the refrigeration device is in operation, the system will receive control instructions for adjusting the transparency of ice cubes. For example, when the user connects the power supply to the drinking water device and starts its refrigeration function, the system will provide a user interface, allowing the user to select and set the transparency level of ice cubes generated by refrigeration in the drinking water device according to personal preferences or actual needs. Through this interactive process, the system can successfully capture and analyze the user's specific control instructions on the transparency of ice cubes. The user interface can be a touch screen, a physical button, or a mobile phone APP, etc., which is not specifically limited here.

[0036] It should be noted that three ice cube transparency levels can be preset for users to choose from, namely, ice cubes with 60% transparency, ice cubes with 80% transparency and ice cubes with 90% transparency. Each ice cube transparency level corresponds to a control instruction. For example, when the user chooses to generate ice cubes with 60% transparency, the corresponding control instruction is the first control instruction. When the user chooses to generate ice cubes with 80% transparency, the corresponding control instruction is the second control instruction. When the user chooses to generate ice cubes with 90% transparency, the corresponding control instruction is the third control instruction. In addition, the present invention may not specifically limit the number of ice cube transparency levels. For example, four or five ice cube transparency levels can be set.

[0037] S102: determining the operating frequency of the refrigeration device according to the control instruction.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, after the system obtains the control instruction of the ice cube transparency, it will determine the operating frequency of the refrigeration device according to the control instruction. For example, when the user chooses to generate ice cubes with 60% transparency, the corresponding control instruction is the first control instruction. At this time, the pre-stored correspondence table of ice cube transparency and refrigeration device operating frequency can be queried according to the first control instruction, and then the operating frequency of the refrigeration device is determined to be 4200rpm.

[0039] When the user chooses to generate ice cubes with 80% transparency, the corresponding control instruction is the second control instruction. At this time, the pre-stored correspondence table of ice cube transparency and refrigeration device operating frequency can be queried according to the second control instruction, and then the operating frequency of the refrigeration device is determined to be 3000rpm.

[0040] When the user chooses to generate ice cubes with 90% transparency, the corresponding control instruction is the third control instruction. At this time, the pre-stored correspondence table of ice cube transparency and refrigeration device operating frequency can be queried according to the third control instruction, and then the operating frequency of the refrigeration device is determined to be 2000rpm.

[0041] S103, controlling the refrigeration device according to the operating frequency.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, after the operating frequency of the instruction device is determined according to the control instruction, the refrigeration device can be controlled according to the operating frequency. For example, when the user chooses to generate ice cubes with 60% transparency, the corresponding control instruction is the first control instruction. At this time, the pre-stored correspondence table of ice cube transparency and the operating frequency of the refrigeration device can be queried according to the first control instruction, and then the operating frequency of the refrigeration device is determined to be 4200rpm, so that the operating frequency of the refrigeration device can be controlled to be 4200rpm.

[0043] When the user chooses to generate ice cubes with 80% transparency, the corresponding control instruction is the second control instruction. At this time, the pre-stored correspondence table of ice cube transparency and the operating frequency of the refrigeration device can be queried according to the second control instruction, and then the operating frequency of the refrigeration device can be determined to be 3000rpm, so that the operating frequency of the refrigeration device can be controlled to be 3000rpm.

[0044] When the user chooses to generate ice cubes with 90% transparency, the corresponding control instruction is the third control instruction. At this time, the pre-stored correspondence table of ice cube transparency and the operating frequency of the refrigeration device can be queried according to the third control instruction, and then the operating frequency of the refrigeration device can be determined to be 2000rpm, so that the operating frequency of the refrigeration device can be controlled to be 2000rpm.

[0045] Further, in some embodiments of the present invention, the operating frequency of the refrigeration device is determined according to the control instruction, including: when the transparency of the ice cubes in the control instruction is a first preset transparency, determining the operating frequency of the refrigeration device to be the first preset frequency; when the transparency of the ice cubes in the control instruction is a second preset transparency, determining the operating frequency of the refrigeration device to be the second preset frequency; when the transparency of the ice cubes in the control instruction is a third preset transparency, determining the operating frequency of the refrigeration device to be the third preset frequency.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, after obtaining the control instruction of ice cube transparency, when the ice cube transparency in the control instruction is the first preset transparency, the operating frequency of the refrigeration device is determined to be the first preset frequency, wherein the first preset transparency can be preferably 60% transparency, and the first preset frequency can be preferably 4200rpm, when the ice cube transparency in the control instruction is the second preset transparency, the operating frequency of the refrigeration device is determined to be the second preset frequency, wherein the second preset transparency can be preferably 80% transparency, and the second preset frequency can be preferably 3000rpm, when the ice cube transparency in the control instruction is the third preset transparency, the operating frequency of the refrigeration device is determined to be the third preset frequency, wherein the third preset transparency can be preferably 90% transparency, and the third preset frequency can be preferably 2000rpm. In addition, the present invention may not specifically limit the values ​​of the first preset transparency, the second preset transparency, the third preset transparency, the first preset frequency, the second preset frequency, and the third preset frequency.

[0047] Further, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first preset frequency is the operating frequency corresponding to the refrigeration device when it is running at full power. That is, the value of the first preset frequency is related to the factory settings of the refrigeration device, for example, if the operating frequency corresponding to the refrigeration device when it is running at full power is 4200rpm, then the first preset frequency is determined to be 4200rpm, and if the operating frequency corresponding to the refrigeration device when it is running at full power is 4500rpm, then the first preset frequency is determined to be 4500rpm.

[0048] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the drinking water equipment also includes a cold water tank, and the refrigeration device includes a compressor and a condenser, wherein the cold water tank is arranged below the condenser to collect cold water generated when the refrigeration device is running, and the operating frequency of the refrigeration device is the operating frequency of the compressor.

In addition, the present invention may not specifically limit the method of obtaining the ice storage state in the ice storage bin and the cold water temperature in the cold water tank.

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the ice storage state in the ice storage bin is obtained by an infrared sensor, and the cold water temperature in the cold water tank is obtained by a temperature sensor, and when it is determined that the ice storage state is full of ice and the cold water temperature is less than a first preset temperature, the compressor is controlled to be in a shutdown state. The first preset temperature may preferably be 6 degrees Celsius. In addition, the present invention may not specifically limit the value of the first preset temperature.

[0055] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the control method of the drinking water equipment also includes: when the ice storage state is not full of ice or the cold water temperature is greater than a second preset temperature, controlling the compressor to be in a running state, wherein the second preset temperature is greater than the first preset temperature.

In addition, the present invention may not specifically limit the value of the second preset temperature.

[0057] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, before controlling the refrigeration device according to the operating frequency, the method further includes: controlling the refrigeration device to be in a shutdown state for a preset period of time.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, before the operating frequency of the compressor is controlled according to the temperature, the compressor is controlled to be in a shutdown state for a preset time, wherein the preset time may preferably be three minutes, thereby ensuring the internal pressure of the compressor and increasing the service life of the compressor. In addition, the present invention may not specifically limit the value of the preset time.

[0059] In summary, according to the control method of the drinking water equipment in an embodiment of the present invention, when the refrigeration device is in operation, the control instruction of the ice cube transparency is obtained, so as to determine the operating frequency of the refrigeration device according to the control instruction, and then control the refrigeration device according to the operating frequency, thereby achieving the control of the ice cube transparency demand and enhancing the user experience and satisfaction.
