[0043] In this embodiment, an ice-making method is provided. Figure 2 is a flowchart of the ice-making method in this embodiment. As Figure 2 shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0044] Step S201: Obtain the temperature at the bottom of the ice box in real time. When the temperature at the bottom of the ice box is greater than a preset first temperature value, control the rotating motor to drive the ice box to reciprocate horizontally at an initial rotation angle and an initial rotation frequency, so that the water in the ice box freezes from bottom to top; wherein, the ice box is connected to the rotating motor.

[0045] Specifically, currently in the ice-making process, mainly a motor in the water supply system pumps the filtered and cooled water out of the water storage tank and injects it into the ice-making box through a specific pipeline system. When the ice-making box is filled, the refrigeration system starts to function, and cold air is blown from above the ice-making box and directly acts on the upper water surface, causing the temperature of the upper water layer to drop rapidly. Due to the continuous action of the cold air, the water molecules in the upper layer quickly lose heat and begin to condense into ice crystals, and these ice crystals gradually expand to form a thin ice surface. As the ice layer gradually thickens, the water in the ice box freezes from top to bottom. However, precisely because of the top-down freezing method, since the upper water surface freezes first, the air bubbles in the water cannot continue to rise upward during the freezing process, resulting in air bubbles in the ice cubes and making them less transparent. Therefore, in order to enable the air bubbles in the water to be discharged as much as possible, in this embodiment, the ice-making process is adjusted to be from bottom to top. Among them, the ice-making box is connected to a rotating motor. During the ice-making process, the rotating motor adds a rotation program. Under this program, the rotating shaft of the rotating motor outputs a certain angle and operating frequency, driving the ice box to reciprocate horizontally in both forward and reverse directions. The ice box accelerates the flow of water through reciprocating operation, making it easier for air bubbles to escape from the water and gather on the water surface, thereby discharging the air bubbles in the water. In addition, the ice box is set to be smaller at the top and larger at the bottom. During the operation, since the water surface of the upper layer of the ice box is large and the rotation amplitude is large, it is difficult for the water in the upper layer to freeze. The water surface of the lower layer of the ice box is small and the rotation amplitude is small, so the water in the lower layer of the ice box is more likely to freeze. Therefore, during the ice-making process, while realizing bottom-up freezing by rotating the ice box with the rotating motor, it can also help discharge the gas in the water.

[0046] In order to further achieve bottom-up freezing and gas discharge, for different ice-making stages, in this embodiment, precise control is carried out after measuring the temperature through a temperature sensor. The temperature at the bottom of the ice box is detected in real time through the temperature sensor. When the temperature at the bottom of the ice box is greater than a preset first temperature value, for example, higher than 4°C, control the rotating motor to output a higher initial rotation angle and an initial rotation frequency, and rotate at a faster speed and frequency to discharge the gas in the water. The initial rotation angle can be controlled at 10 degrees, and the initial rotation frequency can be controlled to operate back and forth once every 1 - 3 minutes. The specific initial rotation angle and initial rotation frequency can also be determined according to the actual situation, and this embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0047] Step S202: When the temperature at the bottom of the ice box is less than or equal to the preset first temperature value, control the rotation motor to adjust the initial rotation angle and initial rotation frequency according to the preset adjustment rule, and drive the ice box to reciprocate horizontally at the adjusted rotation angle and rotation frequency to reduce the running speed of the ice box; when the temperature at the bottom of the ice box is less than the preset lowest temperature value, control the rotation motor to stop running and the ice making ends.

[0048] Specifically, as the temperature decreases, the viscosity of water increases and its fluidity becomes worse. A large rotation amplitude and frequency will cause violent shaking of the water, which is not conducive to the discharge of air bubbles. By reducing the rotation angle, the discharge of gas in the water can be further promoted. In addition, at low temperatures, water is close to the freezing point. At this time, reducing the rotation amplitude and frequency can reduce energy consumption and avoid unnecessary disturbance to the water that is already close to freezing, better protecting the integrity of the ice cubes.

[0049] Therefore, when the temperature at the bottom of the ice box detected by the temperature sensor is less than or equal to the preset first temperature value, such as below 4°C, the initial rotation angle and initial rotation frequency output by the motor are adjusted. Among them, Figure 3 is the relationship diagram between the sensor temperature and the motor rotation angle in the ice making method of this embodiment. As Figure 3 shown, the abscissa is the sensor temperature in "°C", and the ordinate is the motor rotation angle in "degrees (°)". When the temperature is less than or equal to 4°C, the relationship between the motor rotation angle and the temperature is set as a linear relationship. For every 1°C decrease in temperature, the rotation angle decreases by 1 degree. According to the set relationship between the temperature and the motor rotation angle, the rotation angle of the motor is adjusted, and the ice box is driven to reciprocate horizontally at the adjusted rotation angle. Figure 4 is the relationship diagram between the sensor temperature and the motor rotation frequency in the ice making method of this embodiment. As Figure 4 shown, the abscissa is the sensor temperature in "°C", and the ordinate is the motor interval time in "minutes (min)". The rotation frequency of the motor is to rotate back and forth once every certain time interval. Whenever the temperature decreases by 1°C, the time interval for controlling the motor to run increases by 1 minute, that is, the rotation frequency of the motor is reduced. The lower the temperature, the more water freezes and the longer the exhaust interval time. The ice box is driven to reciprocate horizontally at the adjusted rotation frequency to reduce the running speed of the ice box.

[0050] When the temperature drops to the lowest temperature value, such as Figure 3 -6°C in Figure 3 and Figure 4The relationship is only an illustration and does not specifically limit this adjustment rule, which can be specifically set according to the situation.

[0051] Through the above steps S201 to S202, the temperature at the bottom of the ice box is obtained in real time; when the temperature at the bottom of the ice box is greater than the preset first temperature value, the rotation motor is controlled to drive the ice box to reciprocate horizontally at the initial rotation angle and the initial rotation frequency, so that the water in the ice box freezes from bottom to top; wherein, the ice box is connected to the rotation motor; when the temperature at the bottom of the ice box is less than or equal to the preset first temperature value, the rotation motor is controlled to adjust the initial rotation angle and the initial rotation frequency according to the preset adjustment rule, and drive the ice box to reciprocate horizontally at the adjusted rotation angle and rotation frequency to reduce the running speed of the ice box; when the temperature at the bottom of the ice box is less than the preset minimum temperature value, the rotation motor is controlled to stop running and the ice making ends. Compared with the prior art in which a large number of manual screenings are required to obtain bubble-free ice cubes, in this embodiment, a rotation motor is installed outside the ice making box. After starting to make ice, based on the horizontal direction, it rotates bidirectionally back and forth at the preset rotation angle and frequency to discharge the air bubbles in the water. At the same time, as the temperature decreases, the rotation angle and rotation frequency output by the motor are synchronously controlled to realize ice making from bottom to top, further discharging the air bubbles in the water and generating transparent ice cubes. The discharge of air bubbles during the ice making process is realized, and the efficiency of obtaining ice cubes that meet the requirements is improved.

[0052] In some of these embodiments, the initial rotation angle is determined according to the width of the ice box and the height of the water retaining rib of the ice box.

[0053] Specifically, during the process of rotating the ice box by the rotating shaft of the motor to make ice, an initial rotation angle needs to be set. In order to prevent the exposure of the water body due to too large a rotation angle and prevent the slow ice making speed caused by rotation, in this embodiment, the initial rotation angle is determined according to the width of the ice box and the height of the water retaining rib of the ice box, where the water retaining rib of the ice box is a structure in the ice making equipment used to prevent water from overflowing during the ice making process. Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the ice box frame of the ice making method of this embodiment, and the calculation formula for the initial rotation angle of the motor is as follows:

[0054]

[0055] wherein, h is the height of the water retaining rib of the ice box (as shown by h in Figure 5 ), and w is the width of the ice box (as shown by w in Figure 5 ).

[0056] Preferably, in another embodiment, the initial rotation angle is 10 degrees.

[0057] Specifically, in the test of the initial rotation angle of the motor shaft, through experiments, it is obtained that setting the initial rotation angle to 10 degrees can present the best exhaust effect. Therefore, in this embodiment, the initial rotation angle is preferably set to 10 degrees for control.

[0058] In some of these embodiments, the upper surface area of the ice box is larger than the lower surface area of the ice box, and the upper surface of the ice box is sealed.

[0059] Specifically, in the current ice-making process, usually the water layer in the upper part of the ice box freezes first, and the lower part freezes last. This ice-making method will cause bubbles in the lower water to be blocked from discharging due to the freezing of the upper water surface when there are bubbles in the lower water, resulting in ice cubes that do not meet the requirements. Thus, while controlling the ice box to reciprocate by the motor, the ice box is set with an upper surface area larger than the lower surface area. Utilizing the characteristics that when rotating, the upper surface area is large, the rotation amplitude is large, and it is not easy to freeze, the water body freezes into ice cubes from bottom to top. Thus, when the lower water body generates stress due to volume expansion during the freezing process, the gas in the water can be further squeezed to the upper surface and discharged through the upper surface. Thus, the ice box can adopt shapes such as a cone, an inverted trapezoid, a frustum of a cone, a horn shape, etc. In addition, when using an ice box with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part, it is also convenient for the ice cubes to fall off when the ice-making is completed, saving costs for the ice cubes to fall off. Finally, in order to prevent the upper surface of the ice box from freezing first, this embodiment also seals the upper surface to prevent the upper surface of the ice box from directly being affected by the cold air and freezing.

[0060] In this embodiment, an ice-making device is also provided, and this ice-making device applies the ice-making method described in any one of the above embodiments. Figure 5 is the structural diagram of the ice-making device of this embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, this ice-making device includes a rotating motor 51, an ice box 52, a temperature sensor 53, and an insulating foam 54;

[0061] The rotating motor 51 is connected to the ice box 52 and is used to drive the ice box 52 to reciprocally rotate in the horizontal direction; the temperature sensor 53 is arranged at the bottom of the ice box and is used to detect the temperature at the bottom of the ice box in real time; the insulating foam 54 is arranged around the temperature sensor 53 and is used to isolate the temperature outside the temperature sensor 53.

[0062] Specifically, this embodiment also provides an ice-making device, as Figure 5As shown, the ice-making device includes a rotary motor 51, an ice box 52, a temperature sensor 53, and an insulating foam 54. Among them, the rotating shaft of the rotary motor 51 is connected to one end of the ice box 52. Through the rotation angle and rotation frequency output by the rotary motor 51, the ice box 52 is driven to rotate reciprocally in the horizontal direction to discharge the bubbles in the water in the ice box. The temperature sensor 53 is arranged at the bottom of the ice box, mainly used to detect the temperature at the bottom of the ice box and send the detected temperature to the program that controls the rotation of the motor, and adjust the rotation angle and rotation frequency of the motor by judging the temperature. An insulating foam 54 is also arranged outside the temperature sensor 53 to isolate the influence of the external environment on the temperature detection of the temperature sensor 53, thereby improving the accuracy of the temperature detection of the temperature sensor. During the ice-making process, the rotary motor 51 is driven by a preset program to drive the ice box 52 to rotate reciprocally on the horizontal plane, thereby discharging the gas in the water in the ice box and making transparent ice cubes.

[0063] In some of these embodiments, the ice-making device 50 further includes: a bracket 55; the bracket includes an ice box cover, the bracket 55 is connected to the rotary motor 51, and the ice box cover is placed above the ice box 52 for sealing the upper surface of the ice box.

[0064] Specifically, as Figure 5 shown, in the above ice-making device, in addition to the rotary motor 51, the ice box 52, the temperature sensor 53, and the insulating foam 54, in order to realize ice-making from bottom to top, a bracket 55 is additionally provided in this embodiment. The bracket 55 also includes an ice box cover. One end of the bracket 55 is connected to the outside of the rotary motor 51, and the ice box cover of the bracket 55 can just cover the ice box, playing a sealing role for the ice box, thereby isolating the contact between the upper water surface of the ice box and the cold air, preventing the upper water in the ice box from freezing first, realizing the ice-making method from bottom to top, and promoting the discharge of gas in the water. Figure 6 is the structural diagram after the ice box cover of the ice-making device in this embodiment is covered. As Figure 6 shown, after the bracket 55 is arranged on the rotary motor and the ice box cover is covered on the ice box, the upper surface of the ice box can be sealed, isolating the direct contact between the water body on the upper surface of the ice box and the cold air, and preventing the upper water from freezing first.

[0065] In another embodiment, the upper surface area of the ice box is larger than the lower surface area of the ice box.

[0066] Specifically, in the ice-making device, while driving the ice box to rotate reciprocally on the horizontal plane through the rotation of the motor to discharge the bubbles in the water, in order to realize ice-making from bottom to top, the shape of the ice box also needs to be further set. The ice box is set to have an upper surface area larger than the lower surface area, so that when the ice box rotates, the rotation amplitude of the water body on the upper surface is larger than that of the water body on the lower surface, so that the water body on the lower surface freezes first. As Figure 6As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the ice box is set in a conical shape. In this embodiment, the shape of the ice box is not specifically limited and can be specifically selected according to actual needs. In addition, setting the ice box to be larger at the top and smaller at the bottom is also beneficial for obtaining ice cubes after ice making is completed.

[0067] In this embodiment, an ice making device is also provided.

[0069] The temperature detection module 71 is used to obtain the temperature at the bottom of the ice box in real time;

[0070] The first control module 72 is used to control the rotary motor to drive the ice box to reciprocate horizontally at the initial rotation angle and initial rotation frequency when the temperature at the bottom of the ice box is greater than the preset first temperature value, so that the water in the ice box freezes from bottom to top; among them, the ice box is connected to the rotary motor;

[0071] The second control module 73 is used to control the rotary motor to adjust the initial rotation angle and initial rotation frequency according to the preset adjustment rule and drive the ice box to reciprocate horizontally at the adjusted rotation angle and rotation frequency when the temperature at the bottom of the ice box is less than or equal to the preset first temperature value, so as to reduce the operating speed of the ice box;

[0072] The third control module 74 is used to control the rotary motor to stop operating when the temperature at the bottom of the ice box is less than the preset minimum temperature value, and the ice making is completed.
