Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration mechanical device that cools water through an evaporator with a refrigerant of a refrigeration system to generate ice.

[0003] Currently, after the ice maker finishes making ice, it usually transports the made ice cubes to the ice storage area provided in the ice maker, so that it is convenient for users to pick up the ice cubes by themselves in this area when they need to use the ice cubes.

[0004] When transporting ice cubes, if the transported ice cubes are in the form of ice balls, due to the structure of the ice balls themselves, they are prone to displacement during transportation, which in turn leads to a slow transportation speed and reduces the transportation efficiency, and there is room for improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0086] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

[0087] An embodiment of the present application discloses an ice maker control method.

[0088] Referring to Figure 1 , an ice maker control method includes the following steps:

[0089] Step 100: Obtain the ice making mold specifications of the ice maker.

[0090] The ice making mold specifications refer to the ice making molds used to make different ice cube shapes. In this embodiment, the ice making molds include a puck mold and a rectangular mold. The puck mold is used to make pucks. The rectangular mold is used to make rectangular ice cubes. The method for obtaining the ice making mold specifications is described in detail in subsequent steps 200 to 206.

[0091] Step 101: Determine the current ice cube form according to the ice making mold specifications.

[0092] The current ice cube form refers to the form of the ice cube currently being made. The current ice cube form includes a puck form and a rectangular form. The puck form refers to the form when the ice cube being made is a puck. The rectangular form refers to the form when the ice cube being made is rectangular. The puck form and the rectangular form are both preset by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here. After the ice maker finishes making ice, it is necessary to know the current ice cube form first for subsequent steps. By knowing the ice making mold specifications, it is possible to know which form of ice cube is being made, and thus the current ice cube form can be known.

[0093] Step 102: When the current ice cube form is consistent with the preset puck form, control the preset clamping device to clamp the puck onto the preset puck transportation platform and obtain transportation image information.

[0094] The clamping device refers to a device used to clamp various ice cubes. The transportation platform refers to a platform used to place the ice cubes to be transported. The transportation platform is set on the transportation device. When the ice cube is placed on the transportation platform, the transportation device will transport the ice cube to the ice cube placement area. The transportation device refers to a device used to transport the ice cubes. The transportation platform includes a puck transportation platform and a rectangular transportation platform. The puck transportation platform is used to place the ice cubes in the puck form. The rectangular transportation platform is used to place the ice cubes in the rectangular form. The transportation image information refers to the image of the ice cube during transportation on the ice cube transportation device. The transportation image information is obtained by taking pictures with a camera.

[0095] When the current ice cube form is consistent with the puck form, it means that the ice cube currently being made is a puck. It is necessary to first control the clamping device to clamp the puck onto the puck transportation platform and then obtain the transportation image information for subsequent steps.

[0096] Step 103: When the transportation image information contains a preset ramp feature, determine the ramp slope based on the transportation image information, the ramp feature, and a preset reference object.

[0097] The ramp feature refers to the feature when a ramp appears on the transportation device. The reference object refers to an object used to assist in measuring the slope of the ramp feature. The size and position of the ramp feature and the reference object are preset by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here. The ramp slope refers to the inclination of the ramp on the transportation device. Through a preset slope database, the ramp slope corresponding to the transportation image information, the ramp feature, and the reference object can be matched. It contains the corresponding relationship between the transportation image information, the ramp feature, the reference object, and the ramp slope. The slope database is a database set by humans and will not be elaborated here. When the transportation image information contains a ramp feature, the ramp slope needs to be matched first for subsequent steps.

[0098] Step 104: Determine the elevation height value and the elevation position based on the ramp slope and a preset reference levelness, and obtain the transportation duration of the puck transportation platform.

[0099] The reference levelness refers to the levelness that the puck transportation platform should maintain during transportation. The reference levelness is preset by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here. The elevation height value refers to the height value used to elevate the puck transportation platform so that the puck transportation platform can be level. The elevation position refers to the position where the puck transportation platform is elevated. Through a preset elevation database, the elevation height value and the elevation position corresponding to the ramp slope and the reference levelness can be matched. It contains the corresponding relationship between the elevation height value and the elevation position corresponding to the ramp slope and the reference levelness. The elevation database is a database set by humans and will not be elaborated here. The transportation duration refers to the duration experienced by the puck transportation platform when transporting the puck. The transportation duration is obtained through an electronic timer. When the puck transportation platform starts to transport, the electronic timer starts timing.

[0100] After the elevation height value and the elevation position are matched, the transportation duration of the puck transportation platform needs to be obtained for subsequent steps.

[0101] Step 105: Determine the change in the elevation angle based on the elevation height value, the transportation duration, the ramp slope, and the reference levelness.

[0102] The elevation angle change situation refers to the change situation of the angle formed between the elevation device and the ice hockey transportation platform when the preset elevation device elevates the elevation position. The elevation device is a device used to elevate the elevation position so that the ice hockey transportation platform always remains horizontal. In this embodiment, the elevation device is a telescopic rod arranged at the bottom of the ice hockey transportation platform. Through the elevation database, the elevation angle change situation corresponding to the elevation height value, transportation duration, ramp slope, and reference levelness can be matched, which includes the corresponding relationship between the elevation height value, transportation duration, ramp slope, reference levelness, and elevation angle change situation.

[0103] Step 106: Elevate the elevation position according to the elevation angle change situation and obtain elevation image information.

[0104] The elevation image information refers to the image of the ice hockey transportation platform after being elevated. The elevation image information is obtained by taking pictures with a camera. Control the elevation device to elevate the elevation position according to the elevation angle change situation and obtain the elevation image information for subsequent steps.

[0105] Step 107: Determine the lowering angle change situation according to the elevation angle change situation, and when the elevation image information does not contain ramp features, lower the elevation position according to the lowering angle change situation to complete the transportation.

[0106] The lowering angle change situation refers to the change situation of the angle formed between the elevation device and the ice hockey transportation platform when the elevation device lowers the height of the elevation position. When the elevation image information does not contain ramp features, it means that the ice hockey transportation platform has passed the ramp on the transportation device, and the elevation device needs to be retracted. Therefore, it is necessary to control the elevation device to lower the height of the elevation position according to the lowering angle change situation, and thus the transportation of the ice can be completed.

[0107] Refer to Figure 2 , the method for obtaining the ice-making mold specifications includes the following steps:

[0108] Step 200: Obtain the current usage location of the ice maker and the current date information of the current usage location.

[0109] The current usage location refers to the geographical location where the ice maker is currently located. The current usage location is obtained through a preset GPS positioning chip on the ice maker. The current date information refers to the date when the ice maker is currently in use. The current date information is obtained by real-time retrieval through a pre-set networking system of the ice maker.

[0110] Step 201: Determine the current weather information according to the current usage location and the current date information.

[0111] The current weather information refers to the real-time meteorological conditions at the current usage location on the current date information, which includes temperature, humidity, precipitation, and wind direction and wind speed. Through a preset weather database, the current weather information corresponding to the current usage location and the current date information can be matched, which includes the correspondence between the current usage location, the current date information, and the current weather information. The weather database is a manually set database and will not be elaborated here.

[0112] Step 202: Match the initial ice-making demand from a preset ice-making database according to the current weather information.

[0113] The initial ice-making demand refers to the number of ice cubes that an ice-making machine needs to produce according to the weather conditions at its current location. Through the ice-making database, the initial ice-making demand corresponding to the current weather information can be matched, which includes the correspondence between the current weather information and the initial ice-making demand. The ice-making database is a manually set database and will not be elaborated here.

[0114] Step 203: Control the ice-making machine to make ice using a preset ice-making method according to the initial ice-making demand, and obtain the remaining amount of ice cubes.

[0115] The ice-making method refers to the method used by the ice-making machine to make ice cubes. The ice-making method will be described in detail in subsequent steps 300 to 305 and will not be elaborated here. The remaining amount of ice cubes refers to the remaining number of ice cubes in the preset ice cube placement area inside the ice-making machine. The remaining amount of ice cubes is obtained through a preset photoelectric sensor inside the ice-making machine. As the ice cubes decrease, the degree of light signal occlusion will change. By inputting the change situation of the light signal into a preset quantity database for analysis and calibration, the remaining amount of ice cubes can be obtained. The quantity database includes the correspondence between the change situation of the light signal and the remaining amount of ice cubes. The quantity database is a manually set database and will not be elaborated here. The ice cube placement area refers to the area used to place ice cubes. The ice cube placement area is set in advance by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here.

[0116] Control the ice-making machine to make ice cubes in an amount that meets the initial ice-making demand according to the ice-making method, and obtain the remaining amount of ice cubes for subsequent steps.

[0117] Step 204: When the remaining amount of ice cubes is lower than a preset benchmark remaining amount, obtain the ice cube usage time.

[0118] The reference remaining quantity refers to the minimum quantity of ice cubes that must remain in the ice cube placement area. The reference remaining quantity is preset by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here. The ice cube usage time refers to the duration from the start of using the current batch of ice cubes until the remaining quantity of ice cubes is lower than the reference remaining quantity after the ice maker has completed the production of the required quantity of ice cubes for the initial ice making demand. The ice cube usage time is obtained through an electronic timer preset on the ice maker. After the ice maker has completed the production of the required quantity of ice cubes for the initial ice making demand, the electronic timer starts timing.

[0119] When the remaining quantity of ice cubes is lower than the reference remaining quantity, it indicates that the ice cube storage in the ice cube placement area is insufficient and a new batch of ice cubes needs to be made. First, obtain the ice cube usage time for subsequent steps.

[0120] Step 205: Match the corrected ice making demand from the ice making database based on the remaining quantity of ice cubes, the ice cube usage time, and the initial ice making demand.

[0121] The corrected ice making demand refers to the ice making demand after adjusting the quantity of the initial ice making demand during the ice making process. Through the ice making database, the corrected ice making demand corresponding to the remaining quantity of ice cubes, the ice cube usage time, and the initial ice making demand can be matched, which includes the corresponding relationship between the remaining quantity of ice cubes, the ice cube usage time, the initial ice making demand, and the corrected ice making demand.

[0122] Step 206: Obtain the ice making mold specifications based on the corrected ice making demand and control the ice maker to make ice using the ice making method.

[0123] Through the preset mold database, the ice making mold specifications corresponding to the corrected ice making demand can be matched, which includes the corresponding relationship between the corrected ice making demand and the ice making mold specifications. The mold database is a manually set database and will not be elaborated here. After the ice making mold specifications are matched, control the ice maker to make ice cubes in the quantity that meets the corrected ice making demand according to the ice making method for use.

[0124] Refer to Figure 3 , the ice making method includes the following steps:

[0125] Step 300: Determine the required water injection volume and air extraction gas volume value based on the ice making mold specifications.

[0126] The required water injection volume refers to the water injection volume required to make ice cubes corresponding to the ice making mold specifications. The air extraction gas volume value refers to the gas volume value required to extract air from the inside of the ice making mold specifications when making ice cubes corresponding to the ice making mold specifications. Through the ice making database, the required water injection volume and air extraction gas volume value corresponding to the ice making mold specifications can be matched, which includes the corresponding relationship between the ice making mold specifications, the required water injection volume, and the air extraction gas volume value.

[0127] Step 301: Control the ice-making mold corresponding to the ice-making mold specification to move to a preset ice-making area, and obtain ice-making image information.

[0128] The ice-making area refers to the area in the ice maker for ice-making. The ice-making area is preset by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here. The ice-making image information refers to the image in the ice-making area. The ice-making image information is obtained by taking pictures with a camera. Control the preset clamping device to clamp the ice-making mold corresponding to the ice-making mold specification into the ice-making area, and obtain the ice-making image information for subsequent steps. The clamping device refers to the device used to clamp the ice-making mold into the ice-making area.

[0129] Step 302: Determine the water injection position and the air extraction position according to the ice-making image information and the preset interface features.

[0130] The interface features refer to the appearance features of the interfaces on the ice-making mold for water injection and air extraction. The interface features are preset by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here. The water injection position refers to the position for injecting water into the ice-making mold. The air extraction position refers to the position for extracting air from the ice-making mold. Through the preset position database, the water injection position and the air extraction position corresponding to the ice-making image information and the interface features can be matched, which includes the corresponding relationship between the ice-making image information, the interface features, the water injection position, and the air extraction position. The position database is a manually set database and will not be elaborated here.

[0131] Step 303: Based on the water injection position and the required water injection volume, inject water into the ice-making mold corresponding to the ice-making mold specification. During water injection, extract air from the air extraction position with the air extraction gas volume value, and obtain the air extraction image information.

[0132] The air extraction image information refers to the image when the air extraction device extracts air from the ice-making mold. The air extraction image information is obtained by taking pictures with a camera. Control the preset water injection device to inject water into the water injection position with the required water injection volume, and then inject water into the ice-making mold. During water injection, control the preset air extraction device to extract air from the air extraction position with the air extraction gas volume value to create a negative pressure inside the ice-making mold. The water injection device refers to the device used to inject water into the ice-making mold. The air extraction device refers to the device used to extract air from the ice-making mold.

[0133] Step 304: When the preset water injection feature is included in the air extraction image information, control the ice maker to cool and make ice for the ice-making mold corresponding to the ice-making mold specification.

[0134] The water injection feature refers to the feature when the water in the ice-making mold overflows. The water injection feature is preset by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here. When the water injection feature is included in the air extraction image information, it indicates that the water in the ice-making mold is full, and there is no need to continue water injection and air extraction. Just control the ice maker to cool and make ice for the ice-making mold corresponding to the ice-making mold specification.

[0135] Refer to Figure 4 , the ice block area division method includes the following steps:

[0136] Step 400: Match the store type from the preset location database according to the current usage location.

[0137] The store type refers to the category of the store operated by the user using this ice maker. Through the location database, the store type corresponding to the current usage location can be matched, which contains the corresponding relationship between the current usage location and the store type. The location database is a manually set database and will not be elaborated here.

[0138] Step 401: Determine the proportion of ice block forms according to the store type.

[0139] The proportion of ice block forms refers to the proportion of the ice blocks in the form of ice balls and the ice blocks in the form of rectangles in the total number of ice blocks. Different store types have different key ice block forms required. Therefore, it is necessary to match the proportion of ice block forms corresponding to the store type through the preset proportion database, which contains the corresponding relationship between the store type and the proportion of ice block forms. The proportion database is a manually set database and will not be elaborated here.

[0140] Step 402: Determine the volume of the reserved area according to the proportion of ice block forms.

[0141] The volume of the reserved area refers to the volume required for ice blocks in different forms to be placed in the ice block placement area. Through the preset placement database, the volume of the reserved area corresponding to the proportion of ice block forms can be matched, which contains the corresponding relationship between the proportion of ice block forms and the volume of the reserved area. The placement database is a manually set database and will not be elaborated here. The ice block placement area refers to the area for placing ice blocks. The ice block placement area is set in advance by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here.

[0142] Step 403: Divide the preset ice block placement area according to the volume of the reserved area.

[0143] Control the partitioning device preset in the ice block placement area to divide the ice block placement area according to the volume of the reserved area for subsequent placement of ice blocks in various forms. The partitioning device refers to the device for dividing the ice block placement area.

[0144] Step 404: Based on the area division, determine the ice making parameters according to the volume of the reserved area, the proportion of ice block forms, the corrected ice making requirements, and the preset volume of the ice block form.

[0145] The ice block form volume refers to the actual volume size corresponding to each ice block in different forms. The ice block form volume is set in advance by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here. The ice-making parameters refer to the shape, speed, and quantity when the ice maker makes ice blocks. Through the ice-making database, the reserved area volume, the proportion of ice block forms, the corrected ice-making requirements, and the ice-making parameters corresponding to the ice block form volume can be matched, which includes the corresponding relationship among the reserved area volume, the proportion of ice block forms, the corrected ice-making requirements, the ice block form volume, and the ice-making parameters. After the ice block placement area is divided into regions, the ice-making parameters need to be matched for subsequent steps.

[0146] Step 405: Control the ice maker to make ice according to the ice-making parameters.

[0147] Control the ice maker to make ice according to the ice-making parameters for the user to use.

[0148] Refer to Figure 5 , the ice block usage allocation method includes the following steps:

[0149] Step 500: After the ice maker finishes making ice, obtain the ice block usage situation in the ice block placement area.

[0150] The ice block usage situation refers to the number of ice blocks of each shape used in the ice block placement area. The ice block usage situation in the ice block placement area can be obtained through the photoelectric sensors preset in different small areas divided in the ice block placement area. When the ice block is in the small area corresponding to its own shape, it will block the light emitted by the transmitting end, causing the optical signal to change. By detecting the change in the optical signal, it can be determined whether there is a change in the number of ice blocks in that area, and then the ice block usage situation in that area can be known. Finally, the ice block usage situations in all the small areas corresponding to the ice block shapes are integrated to obtain the ice block usage situation in the entire ice block placement area.

[0151] After the ice maker finishes making ice, it is necessary to obtain the ice block usage situation in the ice block placement area for subsequent steps.

[0152] Step 501: When the ice block usage situation is inconsistent with the preset uniform usage situation, determine the ice block usage difference value according to the ice block usage situation.

[0153] The uniform usage situation refers to the situation where the number and frequency of ice blocks of each shape used are relatively uniform. The specific uniform usage situation is set in advance by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here. The ice block usage difference value refers to the difference generated between the usage quantities of ice blocks of different shapes during use. Through the preset ice block database, the ice block usage difference value corresponding to the ice block usage situation can be matched, which includes the corresponding relationship between the ice block usage situation and the ice block usage difference value. The ice block database is a manually set database and will not be elaborated here.

[0154] When the ice cube usage situation is inconsistent with the uniform usage situation, it indicates that an ice cube of a certain shape is overused. This will lead to a large difference in the remaining quantities of ice cubes of different shapes. It is necessary to match the ice cube usage difference value for subsequent steps.

[0155] Step 502: When the ice cube usage difference value exceeds the preset reference usage difference value, determine the under - quantity ice cube form and the over - quantity ice cube form according to the ice cube usage difference value, and obtain the under - quantity ice cube remaining amount and the over - quantity ice cube remaining amount.

[0156] The reference usage difference value refers to the maximum value that the difference between the remaining quantities of ice cubes of different shapes is allowed to reach. The reference usage difference value is set in advance by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here. The under - quantity ice cube form refers to the form corresponding to the ice cube with the least remaining quantity in the ice cube placement area. The over - quantity ice cube form refers to the form corresponding to the ice cube with the most remaining quantity in the ice cube placement area. Through the ice cube database, the under - quantity ice cube form and the over - quantity ice cube form corresponding to the ice cube usage difference value can be matched, which contains the corresponding relationship between the ice cube usage difference value, the under - quantity ice cube form, and the over - quantity ice cube form.

[0157] The under - quantity ice cube remaining amount refers to the remaining quantity of the ice cube corresponding to the under - quantity ice cube form. The over - quantity ice cube remaining amount refers to the remaining quantity of the ice cube corresponding to the over - quantity ice cube form. Both the under - quantity ice cube remaining amount and the over - quantity ice cube remaining amount are obtained through the photoelectric sensors in their respective small areas. As the ice cubes decrease, the degree of light signal occlusion changes. By inputting the light signal change situation into the quantity database for analysis and calibration, the remaining quantity of ice cubes in each small area can be obtained, and then the under - quantity ice cube remaining amount and the over - quantity ice cube remaining amount can be obtained. The quantity database contains the corresponding relationship between the light signal change situation and the remaining quantity of ice cubes.

[0158] When the ice cube usage difference value exceeds the reference usage difference value, it indicates that the difference in the quantities of ice cubes used in different forms is too large. It is necessary to first match the under - quantity ice cube form and the over - quantity ice cube form, and then obtain the under - quantity ice cube remaining amount of the ice cube corresponding to the under - quantity ice cube form and the over - quantity ice cube remaining amount of the ice cube corresponding to the over - quantity ice cube form for subsequent steps.

[0159] Step 503: Match the conversion method from the preset conversion database according to the under - quantity ice cube form and the over - quantity ice cube form.

[0160] The conversion method refers to the method used to convert the ice cubes corresponding to the excessive ice cube form into the ice cubes corresponding to the insufficient ice cube form. The conversion method is described in detail in the subsequent steps 600 to 706 and will not be elaborated here. Through the conversion database, the conversion method corresponding to the insufficient ice cube form and the excessive ice cube form can be matched, which includes the corresponding relationship between the insufficient ice cube form, the excessive ice cube form, and the conversion method. The conversion database is a manually set database and will not be elaborated here.

[0161] Step 504: Determine the allowable conversion amount based on the excessive ice cube surplus and the preset reference remaining amount.

[0162] The reference remaining amount refers to the minimum number of ice cubes that need to remain in their respective small areas for the ice cubes corresponding to each form. The reference remaining amount is set in advance by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here. The allowable conversion amount refers to the number of ice cubes corresponding to the excessive ice cube form that can be converted. The allowable conversion amount can be obtained by calculating the difference between the excessive ice cube surplus and the reference remaining amount.

[0163] Step 505: Determine the required conversion amount based on the insufficient ice cube surplus and the reference remaining amount.

[0164] The required conversion amount refers to the number of ice cubes corresponding to the insufficient ice cube form that need to be converted and supplemented. The required conversion amount can be obtained by calculating the difference between the reference remaining amount and the insufficient ice cube surplus.

[0165] Step 506: When the allowable conversion amount is not less than the required conversion amount, control the ice maker to perform ice cube conversion according to the conversion method based on the required conversion amount.

[0166] When the allowable conversion amount is not less than the required conversion amount, it means that the number of ice cubes corresponding to the excessive ice cube form is sufficient to fully meet the conversion demand for the ice cubes corresponding to the insufficient ice cube form. The ice maker can be directly controlled to convert the required conversion amount of ice cubes according to the conversion method for the user to use.

[0167] Refer to Figure 6 , the conversion method includes the following steps:

[0168] Step 600: Obtain the regional image information of the ice cube placement area.

[0169] The regional image information refers to the image within the ice cube placement area. The regional image information is obtained by taking pictures with a camera.

[0170] Step 601: When the insufficient ice cube form is a preset rectangular form and the excessive ice cube form is a preset ice ball form, determine the ice ball position based on the regional image information and the preset ice ball characteristics.

[0171] Rectangular shape refers to the shape of the ice cube when it is rectangular. Ice ball shape refers to the shape of the ice cube when it is an ice ball. Ice ball features refer to the appearance of the ice ball when the ice cube is an ice ball. The rectangular shape, ice ball shape and ice ball features are all set in advance by those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. Ice ball position refers to the position of the ice ball in the ice cube placement area. The ice ball position in the ice cube placement area can be obtained by identifying the ice ball features in the regional image information and selecting them.

[0172] When there are too few ice cubes in the shape of rectangles, and too many ice cubes in the shape of ice balls, it means that there are too many remaining ice balls and too few remaining rectangular ice cubes. You need to first select the position of the ice balls for subsequent steps.

[0173] Step 602: Control a preset clamping device to clamp the position of the ice ball, so as to clamp the ice ball-shaped ice cube into a preset trimming area, and control a preset fixing device to fix it in the trimming area, and obtain fixed image information.

[0174] The clamping device refers to a device for clamping various types of ice cubes. The trimming area refers to an area for trimming the ice ball into a rectangular ice cube. The trimming area is set in advance by a person skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. The fixing device refers to a device for fixing the ice ball so as to trim the ice ball. The fixed image information refers to the image of the ice ball after it is fixed. The fixed image information is obtained by taking a picture with a camera.

[0175] The clamping device is controlled to clamp the position of the ice ball, so as to clamp the ice ball-shaped ice cube into the trimming area. In the trimming area, the fixing device is first controlled to fix the ice ball, and then the fixed image information is obtained for subsequent steps.

[0176] Step 603: Determine the cutting position according to the fixed image information, the preset reserved cutting features and the reference object.

[0177] The reserved cutting feature refers to a feature reserved on the fixing device for cutting the ice ball. An opening is provided on the fixing device for the cutting device to cut the ice ball. The reserved cutting feature is the feature of this opening. The cutting device refers to a device used to cut the ice ball. The reference object refers to an object used to assist in measuring the cutting position. The size and position of the reserved cutting feature and the reference object are set in advance by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here. The cutting position refers to the position used to cut the ice ball. The fixed image information, the reserved cutting feature and the cutting position corresponding to the reference object can be matched through the position database, which includes the correspondence between the fixed image information, the reserved cutting feature, the reference object and the cutting position.

[0178] Step 604: Control the preset cutting device to cut the cutting position, and during cutting, control the preset collecting device to move to the bottom of the cutting position to collect the cut edges into the preset edge material area.

[0179] The collecting device refers to a device for collecting the cut edges of the ice ball. The edge material area refers to an area for centrally collecting the cut edges of the ice ball. The edge material area is set in advance by a person skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0180] The cutting device is controlled to cut at the cutting position, and during cutting, the collecting device is controlled to move to the bottom of the cutting position to collect the cut edges into the edge material area, so that the fallen edges can be used for subsequent conversion of rectangular ice cubes into ice balls.

[0181] Step 605: After the cutting is completed, the clamping device is controlled to clamp the cut ice cubes to a preset transportation device for transportation.

[0182] The transport device is a device for transporting ice cubes. After the ice cubes are cut, the clamping device is controlled to clamp the cut ice cubes to the transport device for transport for use by users.

[0183] The transformation method further comprises the following steps:

[0184] Step 700: When the shape of the too few ice cubes is a preset ice ball shape and the shape of the too many ice cubes is a preset rectangular shape, edge material image information of a preset edge material area is obtained.

[0185] The edge material image information refers to the image in the edge material area. The edge material image information is obtained by taking a photo with a camera. When the shape of the ice cubes is ice ball shape when there are too few ice cubes, and the shape of the ice cubes is rectangular shape when there are too many ice cubes, it means that the rectangular ice cubes need to be converted into ice ball shape ice cubes, and then the edge material image information of the edge material area needs to be obtained first for subsequent steps.

[0186] Step 701: when the scrap image information contains preset scrap features, determine the scrap quantity according to the scrap image information and the scrap features.

[0187] The edge material feature refers to the appearance of the edge material cut from the ice ball when the ice ball is converted into a rectangular ice cube. The edge material feature is set in advance by a person skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. The edge material quantity refers to the quantity of edge material cut from the ice ball in the edge material area. By selecting the edge material features in the edge material image information and marking them one by one, the number of marks can be obtained, and then the number of edge materials can be known.

[0188] When the scrap material image information contains scrap material features, it means that there is still scrap material in the scrap material area, and the amount of scrap material needs to be known in advance for subsequent steps.

[0189] Step 702: Determine the number of ice pucks formed based on the amount of scrap material and the preset required amount of scrap material.

[0190] The required amount of scrap material refers to the amount of scrap material needed when converting a single rectangular ice block into an ice puck. In this embodiment, the required amount of scrap material is 4 pieces. The number of ice pucks formed refers to the number of ice pucks that the rectangular ice block can be converted into. The number of ice pucks formed can be obtained by calculating the quotient of the amount of scrap material divided by the required amount of scrap material. The integer part of the quotient is the number of ice pucks formed.

[0191] Step 703: When the number of ice pucks formed is less than the required conversion amount, control the clamping device to clamp the ice blocks corresponding to the number of ice pucks formed onto the transportation device and obtain the conveying image information.

[0192] The conveying image information refers to the image when the rectangular ice block is transported to the preset conversion position. The conveying image information is obtained by taking a photo with a camera. The conversion position refers to the position used to convert the rectangular ice block into an ice puck. The conversion position is set in advance by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here. When the number of ice pucks formed is less than the required conversion amount, it means that the number of ice pucks formed is not enough to completely fill the required conversion amount. It is necessary to first control the clamping device to clamp the ice blocks corresponding to the number of ice pucks formed onto the transportation device and obtain the conveying image information for subsequent steps.

[0193] Step 704: Determine the position of the rectangular ice block based on the conveying image information and the preset characteristics of the rectangular ice block.

[0194] The characteristics of the rectangular ice block refer to the outer contour when the ice block is in a rectangular shape. The characteristics of the rectangular ice block are set in advance by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here. The position of the rectangular ice block refers to the position of the ice block in the rectangular shape during the transportation to the conversion position. The position of the rectangular ice block corresponding to the conveying image information and the characteristics of the rectangular ice block can be matched through a position database, which contains the position of the rectangular ice block corresponding to the conveying image information and the characteristics of the rectangular ice block.

[0195] Step 705: When the position of the rectangular ice block is consistent with the preset conversion position, control the clamping device to clamp the scrap material in the scrap material area to the conversion position and bond the rectangular ice blocks in a preset bonding order.

[0196] The bonding order refers to the order of bonding the six faces of the scrap material to the rectangular ice block. When the six faces of the rectangular ice block have all been bonded with the scrap material, the rectangular ice block has been initially converted into an ice puck-shaped ice block. The bonding order is set in advance by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here.

[0197] When the position of the rectangular ice block is consistent with the conversion position, it indicates that the ice block in rectangular form has reached the conversion position and subsequent conversion can be carried out. First, it is necessary to control the clamping device to clamp the edge material within the edge material area to the conversion position and fit the rectangular ice blocks in the fitting order for subsequent steps.

[0198] Step 706: After fitting, control the preset adjustment device to adjust the rectangular ice blocks after fitting, and after adjustment, control the transportation device to transport the ice blocks to the ice block placement area.

[0199] The adjustment device refers to the device used to adjust the rectangular ice blocks after fitting. After fitting, it is necessary to control the adjustment device to adjust the rectangular ice blocks after fitting for better completion of the conversion, and after adjustment, control the transportation device to transport the ice blocks to the ice block placement area for users to use.

[0200] It also includes the following steps:

[0201] Step 800: When the number of formed ice balls is less than the required conversion quantity, determine the remaining ice block quantity based on the number of formed ice balls and the required conversion quantity.

[0202] The remaining ice block quantity refers to the number of ice blocks that still need to be processed after converting the rectangular ice blocks with the number of formed ice balls. The remaining ice block quantity can be obtained by calculating the difference between the number of formed ice balls and the required conversion quantity.

[0203] When the number of formed ice balls is less than the required conversion quantity, it means that the number of formed ice balls is not enough to completely fill the required conversion quantity. The remaining ice block quantity can be calculated first for subsequent steps.

[0204] Step 801: Control the clamping device to clamp the ice blocks with the remaining ice block quantity into the preset ice-making area, control the preset ice ball mold to wrap the ice blocks, and obtain the ice ball size in ice ball form and the rectangular ice block size in rectangular form.

Both the ice ball size and the rectangular ice block size are obtained by retrieving the size system in the ice maker. Different sizes of ice blocks in different forms are preset in the size system. The size system is preset by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here.

[0206] Control the clamping device to clamp the ice blocks with the remaining ice block quantity into the ice-making area, control the ice ball mold to wrap the ice blocks, and finally obtain the ice ball size in ice ball form and the rectangular ice block size in rectangular form for subsequent steps.

[0207] Step 802: Determine the conversion water injection volume according to the ice hockey size and the rectangular ice block size.

[0208] The conversion water injection volume refers to the water injection volume required to convert the rectangular ice block into an ice hockey-shaped ice block. Through the conversion database, the conversion water injection volume corresponding to the ice hockey size and the rectangular ice block size can be matched, which contains the corresponding relationship between the ice hockey size, the rectangular ice block size, and the conversion water injection volume.

[0209] Step 803: Determine the conversion air extraction value according to the rectangular ice block size and the preset ice hockey mold size.

[0210] The ice hockey mold size refers to the size of the ice hockey mold. The ice hockey mold size is set in advance by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here. The conversion air extraction value is the gas volume value required to extract air from the inside of the ice hockey mold when converting the rectangular ice block into an ice hockey-shaped ice block. Through the conversion database, the conversion air extraction value corresponding to the rectangular ice block size and the ice hockey mold size can be matched, which contains the corresponding relationship between the rectangular ice block size, the ice hockey mold size, and the conversion air extraction value.

[0211] Step 804: Based on the conversion water injection volume, inject water into the ice hockey mold. When injecting water, extract air from the ice hockey mold with the conversion air extraction value and obtain the conversion image information.

[0212] The conversion image information refers to the image when the rectangular ice block is converted into an ice hockey-shaped ice block. The conversion image information is obtained by taking pictures with a camera. Control the water injection device to inject water into the ice hockey mold with the conversion water injection volume. When injecting water, control the air extraction device to extract air from the ice hockey mold with the conversion air extraction value and obtain the conversion image information for subsequent steps.

The transportation method is described in detail in the above steps 300 to 306 and will not be elaborated here.

[0215] When the conversion image information contains the water injection feature, it means that the water in the ice hockey mold is full, and there is no need to continue injecting water and extracting air. Just control the ice maker to cool and make ice in the ice hockey mold. After the ice making is completed, control the transportation device to transport the ice block by the transportation method.
