[0029] 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.

[0030] The following describes a control method and device for drinking water equipment, a storage medium, and drinking water equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] The drinking water equipment in the present invention includes multiple water treatment functions, including refrigeration and ice making functions, instant heating functions, filtering functions, etc. Figure 1 The drinking water equipment of this embodiment includes a refrigeration device, which may include a compressor 10, a condenser 11 and an evaporator (not shown), wherein the compressor 10 is a variable frequency compressor, and the condenser 11 is used for refrigeration and ice making. The drinking water equipment includes a refrigerator 12, in which the condenser 11 is arranged, and a cold water tank 13 is arranged below the refrigerator 12, and the cold water generated during the refrigeration and ice making process can flow into the cold water tank 13 through the refrigerator 12. The drinking water equipment also includes a storage ice box 14, and the inlet of the storage ice box 14 is arranged opposite to the outlet of the refrigerator 12. After the ice making is completed, the ice cubes in the refrigerator 12 can be pushed into the storage ice box 14 for storage through the ice shovel 15.

[0032] Figure 2 It is a flow chart of a control method of a drinking water device in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the control method of the drinking water equipment includes the following steps:

[0034] S10, obtaining temperature information of the environment in which the drinking water equipment is located.

[0035] Specifically, the temperature information of the environment will affect the specific operating parameters of the drinking water device during the refrigeration and ice-making process. Therefore, in order to more accurately control the refrigeration and ice-making conditions, the present embodiment also obtains the temperature information of the environment. More specifically, a temperature sensor can be provided at the bottom of the drinking water device, through which the temperature information of the environment in which the drinking water device is located can be accurately obtained.

[0036] S20, controlling the refrigeration device to perform an ice-making operation in a first ice-making mode according to the temperature information.

[0037] Specifically, after obtaining the temperature information of the environment, the ice-making parameters and ice-defrosting parameters can be determined according to the temperature information. The ice-making parameters and ice-defrosting parameters can be used to control the ice-making mode of the refrigeration device. The present embodiment specifically uses the first ice-making mode to control the refrigeration device. It should be noted that when the temperature information of the environment is high, the heat exchange is relatively poor, so when making the same weight of ice, the time spent on ice-making at high temperature is longer than the time spent on ice-making at normal temperature. On the contrary, the time spent on ice-defrosting at high temperature is shorter than the time spent on ice-defrosting at normal temperature, and the opposite is true in a low temperature environment. It should be noted that the present embodiment determines the ice-making mode according to the temperature information of the environment, specifically to ensure that the weight of a single ice particle in different environments is within a certain range, that is, to ensure that the size and weight of the ice particles are uniform, and to improve the aesthetics of the ice particles.

[0038] S30, after the ice-making operation is completed, if no cold water or ice-taking instruction is received within a first preset time period, the refrigeration device is controlled to operate in a second ice-making mode, wherein the rotation speed of the refrigeration device when operating in the second ice-making mode is less than the rotation speed when operating in the first ice-making mode.

[0039] Specifically, during the operation of the first ice-making mode, the ice particles generated will be pushed into the ice storage bin by the ice shovel for storage. When the ice storage bin is full of ice particles, it can be determined that the ice-making operation is completed, and then the timing operation is performed. When the timing time reaches the first preset time, and the drinking water device does not receive the relevant instructions for taking ice or cold water, the refrigeration device can be controlled to operate in the second ice-making mode, wherein the second ice-making mode can be an ECO (Ecology Conservation Optimization) mode to control the energy-saving operation of the refrigeration device and reduce energy consumption. It should be noted that the cold water taking instruction and the ice taking instruction can be generated by a control screen set on the drinking water device, or by infrared signals, radio frequency signals, etc. It should be noted that the speed of the variable frequency compressor in the second ice-making mode is less than the speed of the variable frequency compressor in the first ice-making mode.

[0040] In this embodiment, the control method further includes: when the refrigeration device is operating in the second ice-making mode, if a cold water taking instruction or an ice taking instruction is received, controlling the refrigeration device to operate in the first ice-making mode.

[0041] Specifically, when the refrigeration device is operating in the second ice-making mode, if no cold water or ice-taking instruction is received, the refrigeration device will continue to operate in the second ice-making mode to reduce energy consumption. During this process, if the drinking water equipment receives a cold water or ice-taking instruction, it will switch from the second ice-making mode to the first ice-making mode, that is, the refrigeration device operates in the first ice-making mode to meet the user's usage needs as soon as possible.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, before obtaining the temperature information of the environment in which the drinking water device is located, the control method further includes:

[0043] S301, controlling the refrigeration device to perform a refrigeration operation.

[0044] S302, obtaining the cold water temperature in the cold water tank.

[0045] S303: When the cold water temperature is less than or equal to the first preset temperature, the refrigerator is controlled to perform defrosting.

[0046] Specifically, before executing step S10, in order to ensure that there are no extra ice particles in the ice making bin to affect ice making, this embodiment will first perform ice-defrosting before the condenser performs refrigeration and ice making. The specific ice-defrosting process includes: first controlling the refrigeration device to perform refrigeration operation, that is, the compressor, the refrigerant solenoid valve and other refrigeration-related devices will be turned on, then obtaining the temperature of the cold water in the cold water tank, and when the cold water temperature is less than or equal to the first preset temperature, the ice making bin is controlled to perform ice-defrosting. Among them, the cold water temperature is controlled to be less than or equal to the first preset temperature so that the cold water will not have a significant impact on the ice making operation. When the cold water temperature is high, the ice cubes made in the ice making operation will be easily melted, causing the ice cubes to stick together, and the energy consumption of ice making will also increase. In this embodiment, the ice-defrosting process can be achieved by using an ice-shovel. Specifically, the ice-shovel can be controlled to flip 180 degrees and maintain for 5 seconds to make the ice particles fall into the ice making bin, and then the ice-shovel is controlled to reset. During the reset process, the ice-shovel can push the ice particles that fall into the ice making bin into the ice storage bin for storage. It should be noted that the de-icing process in this embodiment can be performed multiple times, for example, twice, to ensure complete de-icing. In addition, the time the ice shovel is maintained during the de-icing process can be determined specifically according to the ambient temperature. The higher the ambient temperature, the shorter the maintenance time, and the lower the ambient temperature, the longer the maintenance time.

[0047] In this embodiment, before executing step S301 to control the refrigeration device to perform a refrigeration operation, the control method further includes: controlling the refrigeration device to be in a shutdown state for a second preset time period.

[0048] Specifically, before performing the de-icing operation, this embodiment also controls the refrigeration device to be in a shutdown state for a second preset time period before entering the working state when the drinking water device is powered on for refrigeration, in order to prevent the drinking water device from making a misjudgment. If the ice storage bin is full of ice and a misjudgment occurs at this time, causing the refrigeration device to continue making ice, and the ice particles made are blocked during the storage process, etc., which may cause pressure imbalance inside the compressor, resulting in abnormalities or machine tripping, etc. Therefore, before executing step S301, this embodiment also controls the refrigeration device to be in a shutdown state for a second preset time period, wherein the second preset time period may be 3 minutes, during which the compressor, the refrigerant solenoid valve and other refrigeration-related devices are all in a shutdown state.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, when the ice storage state of the ice storage bin is a full ice state and the cold water temperature of the cold water tank is lower than a second preset temperature, it is determined that the ice making operation is completed.

[0050] Specifically, in step S30, it is determined whether the ice making operation is completed by the ice storage state of the ice storage bin and the temperature of the cold water tank. Specifically, when it is determined that the ice storage state is full of ice and the temperature of the cold water in the cold water tank is less than the second preset temperature, it can be determined that the ice making operation is completed. More specifically, the second preset temperature in this embodiment can be 6 degrees Celsius, and an infrared sensor is provided on the ice storage bin, through which the current ice storage state of the ice storage bin can be determined.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first ice making mode and the second ice making mode both include: when the ice storage state of the ice storage bin is full of ice and the cold water temperature of the cold water tank is lower than a third preset temperature, controlling the refrigeration device to execute a heat preservation program.

[0052] Specifically, no matter whether the refrigeration device is operated in the first ice-making mode or the second ice-making mode, it is necessary to judge whether the ice-making operation is completed during the operation. Specifically, the judgment can be made by the ice storage state of the ice storage bin and the temperature of the cold water in the cold water tank. When the ice storage state is full of ice and the cold water temperature is less than the third preset temperature, the refrigeration state can be controlled to execute the heat preservation program. In this embodiment, the heat preservation program can be to control the operating speed of the refrigeration device to a preset speed, such as 500rpm, 1000rpm, etc., or to directly control the refrigeration device to stop. Optionally, the third preset temperature in this embodiment is 6 degrees Celsius, and the ice storage state can be detected by a detection state set on the ice storage bin.

[0053] It should be noted that when the ice storage state is not full of ice or the temperature of the cold water in the cold water tank is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature, the refrigeration device can be controlled to exit the insulation state and return to the normal execution state, that is, operate in the original ice making mode.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the drinking water device is first powered on to turn on the refrigeration function, and then the variable frequency compressor is restarted after 3 minutes. After the variable frequency compressor is started, refrigeration begins, that is, the refrigeration operation is performed. Specifically, the cold water temperature in the cold water tank is first reduced to 8.5 degrees Celsius, and then the first ice making mode is entered, and the ice making-de-ice parameters of the first ice making mode are determined based on the ambient temperature, and the parameters are operated, and then the ice storage state of the storage bin and the cold water temperature of the cold water tank are judged. When the ice storage state in the storage bin is full of ice and the cold water temperature of the cold water tank is less than 6 degrees Celsius, the variable frequency compressor is controlled to stop to enter the insulation state. In the insulation state, if the drinking water device does not receive a cold water or ice taking instruction within 24 hours, the variable frequency compressor can be controlled to enter the second ice making mode when the cold water temperature is greater than or equal to 8 degrees Celsius or the ice storage state is not full of ice. Specifically, the variable frequency compressor can be controlled to operate at a minimum speed of 2000rpm, otherwise it returns to step S402 and operates the variable frequency compressor in the first ice making mode. It should be noted that, in the second ice-making mode, if the drinking water device receives a cold water taking instruction or an ice taking instruction, step S402 is also re-executed.

[0055] In summary, the control method of the drinking water device in the embodiment of the present invention can reduce the refrigeration power consumption and refrigeration cost of the drinking water device and improve the user experience.

[0056] Furthermore, the present invention proposes a computer-readable storage medium on which a control program of a drinking water device is stored. When the control program of the drinking water device is executed by a processor, the control method of the drinking water device according to any one of the above embodiments is implemented.

[0057] The computer-readable storage medium of the embodiment of the present invention can reduce the refrigeration power consumption and refrigeration cost of the drinking water equipment and improve the user experience by executing the control program stored thereon through the processor.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control device 102 is further configured to: when the refrigeration device is operating in the second ice-making mode, if a cold water taking instruction or an ice taking instruction is received, control the refrigeration device to operate in the first ice-making mode.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control device 102 is further configured to: before controlling the refrigeration device to perform a refrigeration operation, control the refrigeration device to be in a shutdown state for a second preset time period.
