[0015] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present application, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0016] In recent years, with the continuous growth of users' demand for frozen drinks, the demand for ice-making equipment has also been increasing. To meet the needs of different users, ice-making equipment can provide ice cubes of different specifications.

[0017] However, there are many factors affecting the ice cube specifications. Under the same control method, the ice cube specifications produced are different, and even the ice cubes are too large or too small, seriously affecting the ice-making quality.

[0018] To improve the above problems, the inventor proposes the ice-making control method, device, refrigeration equipment and storage medium provided in this application. This method is applied to ice-making equipment, and the ice-making equipment includes an ice-making system. The method includes: when receiving an ice-making instruction, obtaining the ambient temperature, the initial temperature of the liquid used for ice-making in the water supply system, and the ice-making specification selected by the user; determining the ice-making duration according to the ambient temperature, the initial temperature, the ice-making specification and the first preset mapping relationship; wherein, the first preset mapping relationship represents the corresponding relationship between the initial temperature and the ice-making duration under the ambient temperature and the ice-making specification; controlling the ice-making system to perform ice-making operations according to the ice-making duration, so as to adjust the ice-making duration according to the ambient temperature and the temperature of the ice-making liquid, realize multi-variable collaborative control, accurately control the ice cube specifications, and improve the consistency of the ice-making products.

[0019] Next, the application environment of the ice-making control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention will be introduced.

[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic diagram of the application scenario of an ice-making control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the ice-making equipment 100 includes: a water supply system 110 and an ice-making system 120.

[0021] Among them, the water supply system 110 is used to provide the liquid required for ice-making, and the ice-making system 120 is used to refrigerate the liquid provided by the water supply system 110 to form ice cubes of the required specifications for users.

[0022] In some embodiments, the ice-making equipment 100 may include a first temperature detection module, and the first temperature detection module is used to detect the ambient temperature of the working environment where the ice-making equipment 100 is located. In other embodiments, the ice-making equipment 100 may also obtain the above ambient temperature through other devices in the same working environment. For example, it can communicate with a device with temperature detection function to obtain the ambient temperature.

[0023] In some embodiments, the ice-making equipment 100 may include a second temperature detection module, and the second temperature detection module is used to detect the initial temperature of the liquid used for ice-making in the water supply system.

[0024] In some embodiments, the water supply system 110 includes a water storage module 111, a first water supply pipeline 112, a driving module 113, and a water receiving module 114.

[0025] The water storage module 111 is used to store the liquid for ice making, such as pure water.

[0026] One end of the first water supply pipeline 112 is connected to the water inlet of the water receiving module 114, and the other end of the first water supply pipeline 112 is connected to the water storage module 111.

[0027] When the driving module 113 is started, the liquid in the water storage module 111 can be transported to the water receiving module 114 through the first water supply pipeline 112, and the liquid level in the water receiving module 114 rises. When the liquid level in the water receiving module 114 reaches the preset liquid level (i.e., reaches the water outlet), the liquid exceeding the preset liquid level will flow back to the water storage module 111 from the water outlet. Among them, the driving module 113 can be a water pump. The water inlet of the water receiving module 114 is closer to the bottom of the water receiving module 114 than the water outlet.

[0028] In some embodiments, the second temperature detection module can detect the temperature of the liquid in the water storage module 111 as the initial temperature.

[0029] In some other embodiments, the second temperature detection module can obtain the temperature of the liquid in the water receiving module 114 as the initial temperature before starting the ice making operation.

[0030] In some embodiments, the water receiving module 114 includes an ice tray for forming ice cubes.

[0031] In some embodiments, the ice making device 100 further includes an image acquisition module for acquiring an image of the ice cubes formed by the ice tray.

[0032] Optionally, the image acquisition module can be a camera.

[0033] Optionally, the image acquisition module can also be a lidar.

[0034] It can be understood that the present application is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the image acquisition module can also be implemented in other ways, such as an infrared detection device.

[0035] In some embodiments, the water supply system 110 can further include a second water supply pipeline. The water outlet of the water receiving module 114 is connected to one end of the second water supply pipeline, and the other end of the second water supply pipeline is connected to the water storage module 111.

[0036] In some embodiments, a second water supply pipeline connecting the water outlet and the water receiving module 114 can be separately provided to return the liquid exceeding the preset liquid level to the water storage module 111 from the water outlet through the second water supply pipeline.

[0037] In some other embodiments, the ice making device 100 further includes an ice basket for placing the made ice cubes. The bottom of the ice basket is provided with water leakage holes. After the ice making in the water storage module 114 is completed and during defrosting, the ice cubes fall into the ice basket, and the excess liquid will flow back to the water storage module 111 through the water leakage holes. To simplify the device structure and reduce the manufacturing cost of the device, the second water supply pipeline can also reuse the ice falling channel of the ice cubes to recover the liquid exceeding the liquid level. Specifically, when the liquid level in the water storage module 114 rises and when the water storage module 114 is full, the overflowing liquid falls into the ice basket and flows back to the water storage module 111 through the water leakage holes at the bottom of the ice basket.

[0038] The ice making system 120 includes: a compressor 121, a condenser (not shown in the figure), a capillary tube, a fan 122, and an ice making evaporator 123; among them, the compressor 121, the condenser, the capillary tube, and the ice making evaporator 123 are connected in sequence.

[0039] When the fan 122 is started, it can dissipate heat from the condenser.

[0040] When the compressor 121 is started, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant vapor enters the condenser and condenses into a normal-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant liquid in the condenser; the normal-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant liquid is throttled into a low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant two-phase mixture through the capillary tube; the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant two-phase mixture absorbs heat in the ice making evaporator 123 (that is, absorbs the heat of the water storage module 114, causing the temperature of the liquid in the water storage module 114 to drop), and thus evaporates into a low-temperature refrigerant vapor.

[0041] When the ice making device 100 makes ice, the ice making system 120 cools the liquid in the water storage module 114. When the liquid in the water storage module 114 forms ice cubes, the ice cubes in the water storage module 114 can be discharged by adjusting the spatial orientation of the water storage module 114 (for example, flipping a preset angle) for the next round of ice making.

[0042] It should be noted that Figure 1 This is only an exemplary application scenario, and the method provided by the embodiments of the present application can also run in other application scenarios, which are not limited herein.

[0043] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 , the embodiments of the present application provide a refrigeration control method that can be applied to the above-mentioned ice making device. Among them, the ice making device includes an ice making system and a water supply system, and specific details can refer to the detailed description of the above embodiments.

[0045] Such as Figure 2As shown in the figure, the ice-making control method provided by the embodiment of the present application includes: step S210 to step S230.

[0046] Step S210: When receiving an ice-making instruction, obtain the ambient temperature, the initial temperature of the liquid used for ice-making in the water supply system, and the ice-making specification.

[0047] In some embodiments, the ice-making device includes an interaction module (such as a voice module, a button module, a touch screen module, etc.), and the user can trigger the refrigeration instruction through the interaction module.

[0048] In some embodiments, the user can generate a refrigeration instruction through the terminal, that is, send the refrigeration instruction to the ice-making device through the terminal.

[0049] In some embodiments, before starting ice-making, the user needs to select the ice-making specification first. For example, select through the interaction module or the terminal device.

[0050] Among them, the ice-making specification can be represented by the mass, volume, etc. of the target ice cubes.

[0051] In some embodiments, the ice-making specification can include different gears, and different gears correspond to different specification parameters.

[0052] Exemplarily, when the ice-making specification is represented by mass, the ice-making device can preset ice-making specifications with multiple different gears.

[0053] For example, the mass range of the ice cubes corresponding to the ice-making specification of the first gear is: 80 - 85g; the mass range of the ice cubes corresponding to the ice-making specification of the second gear is: 65 - 70g; the mass range of the ice cubes corresponding to the ice-making specification of the third gear is: 45 - 55g.

[0054] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the ice-making specification can also adopt other setting methods. For example, the number of gears can be more or less, and the specification parameters corresponding to each gear can be adjusted according to actual needs. The present application does not limit this.

[0055] In some embodiments, the ice-making device can include a first temperature detection module, and the first temperature detection module is used to detect the initial temperature of the liquid used for ice-making in the water supply system. For example, the liquid temperature of the water storage module in the water supply system before the ice-making operation can be obtained as the initial temperature. Another example is that the liquid temperature of the water holding module in the water supply system before the ice-making operation can be obtained as the initial temperature.

[0056] In some embodiments, the ice-making device may further include a second temperature detection module, which is configured to detect the ambient temperature of the environment where the ice-making device is located. In other embodiments, the ice-making device may also communicate with other devices in the same environment to obtain the ambient temperature detected by the other devices.

[0057] Under the condition of the same ice-making duration, the initial temperature of the liquid for ice-making and the ambient temperature have a greater impact on the ice-making specification.

[0058] For example, the higher the ambient temperature and the higher the initial temperature, the smaller the ice-making specification under the condition of the same ice-making duration.

[0059] Another example is that the lower the ambient temperature and the lower the initial temperature, the larger the ice-making specification under the condition of the same ice-making duration, and even the situation of connected ice (different ice cubes are connected to each other) may occur.

[0060] To improve the above technical problems, in the embodiments of the present application, the ice-making duration is regulated by combining the ambient temperature and the initial temperature to achieve multi-variable collaborative control, accurately control the ice cube specification, and improve the consistency of the ice-making products.

[0061] Step S220: Determine the ice-making duration according to the ambient temperature, the initial temperature, the ice-making specification and the first preset mapping relationship; wherein, the first preset mapping relationship represents the corresponding relationship between the initial temperature and the ice-making duration under the ambient temperature and the ice-making specification.

[0062] For the same ice-making device, under the condition of the same ambient temperature and ice-making specification, if the initial temperature is different, the required ice-making duration is also different. The higher the initial temperature, the longer the required ice-making duration. There is a corresponding relationship between the initial temperature and the ice-making duration. In the embodiments of the present application, the first preset mapping relationship between the initial temperature and the ice-making duration in different situations can be obtained in advance through a large amount of data.

[0063] For example, it is possible to obtain in advance the reference ice-making durations required for different reference initial temperatures under the condition that the reference ambient temperature is H1 and the reference ice-making specification is the first gear.

[0064] Referring to the above method, it is possible to further obtain the reference ice-making durations required for different reference initial temperatures under the condition that the reference ambient temperature is H1 and other reference ice-making specifications.

[0065] Similarly, it is also possible to further obtain the reference ice-making durations required for different reference initial temperatures under different reference ambient temperatures and different reference ice-making specifications. For example, the ice-making durations required for different reference initial temperatures under the condition that the reference ambient temperature is H2 and the reference ice-making specifications are the first gear, the second gear, and the third gear respectively.

[0066] Thus, a set of mapping relationships between the reference initial temperature and the reference ice-making duration can be obtained under a large number of different reference ambient temperatures and different reference ice-making specifications.

[0067] Among them, the set of mapping relationships includes multiple mapping data, and each mapping data includes the reference ambient temperature, the reference initial temperature, the reference ice-making specification, and the corresponding reference ice-making duration; and at least one of the reference ambient temperature, the reference initial temperature, and the reference ice-making specification corresponding to any two mapping data is different.

[0068] The following is illustrated with a specific example. Please refer to Table 1, which provides the reference ice-making duration data when the reference ambient temperatures are 5°C, 10°C, 15°C, 20°C, 25°C, 30°C, 35°C, 40°C respectively, the reference initial water temperatures are 5.5°C, 10°C, 15°C, 20°C, 25°C, 30°C, 35°C, and 40°C respectively, and the reference ice-making specifications are the first gear, the second gear, and the third gear respectively.

[0069] Exemplarily, when the reference ambient temperature is 5°C, the reference ice-making specification is the first gear, and the reference initial water temperature is 10°C, the corresponding reference ice-making duration is 332s.

[0071] Among them, the fitting algorithms include but are not limited to linear fitting algorithms, exponential fitting algorithms, logarithmic fitting algorithms, power function fitting algorithms, and polynomial fitting algorithms; exemplarily, a linear fitting algorithm can be adopted.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first preset mapping relationship can be pre-stored in the ice-making device or the server and can be retrieved and used when needed by the ice-making device.

[0073] During actual use, when obtaining the first preset mapping relationship between the reference initial temperature and the reference ice-making duration under the condition of obtaining the reference ambient temperature identical to the ambient temperature and the reference ice-making specification identical to the ice-making specification, taking the initial temperature as the reference initial temperature, based on the obtained first preset mapping relationship, obtaining the reference ice-making duration, and taking the obtained reference ice-making duration as the ice-making duration.

[0074] In some other embodiments, the first preset mapping relationship can be queried based on the above-mentioned pre-acquired set of mapping relationships. During use, the corresponding ambient temperature is input as the reference ambient temperature, the ice-making specification is input as the reference ice-making specification, and the initial temperature is input as the reference initial temperature to query the matching mapping data; wherein, in the matching mapping data, the reference ambient temperature is the same as the ambient temperature, the reference ice-making specification is the same as the ice-making specification, and the reference initial temperature is the same as the initial temperature.

[0075] The matching mapping data is used as the first preset mapping relationship, so that the reference ice-making duration in the matching mapping data can be used as the ice-making duration.

[0076] Optionally, the set of mapping relationships can be stored in ways such as tables, databases, matrices, etc.

[0077] In still some other embodiments, since the number of mapping relationship data sets is limited and cannot cover all cases, that is to say, in the set of mapping relationships, it may not be possible to query the mapping data that matches the ambient temperature, the initial temperature, and the ice-making specification. In this case, the ice-making duration can also be determined by querying the set of mapping relationship data in combination with linear fitting.

[0078] That is to say, if there is matching mapping data, that is, in the case covered by the set of mapping relationship data, the method of querying the set of mapping relationship data can be used to determine the ice-making duration; if there is no matching mapping data, that is, in the case outside the set of mapping relationship data, the method of querying the set of mapping relationship data in combination with linear fitting can be used to determine the ice-making duration.

[0079] Specifically, multiple adjacent mapping data can be screened out from the set of mapping relationships through preset screening conditions, and fitting is performed based on the multiple adjacent mapping data to obtain the first preset mapping relationship between the ice-making duration and the ambient temperature and the initial temperature under the same ice-making specification.

[0080] For example, adjacent mapping data belonging to the same ice-making specification (data with the same or similar ambient temperature and / or initial temperature) are screened out, a linear fitting relationship is established through the adjacent mapping data, the linear proportion of the data to be determined currently in the adjacent data is determined according to the established linear fitting relationship, and then the corresponding ice-making duration is deduced.

[0081] In some embodiments, the preset screening conditions can at least include: the reference ice-making specification of the adjacent mapping data is the same as the ice-making specification; and the reference ambient temperature range formed by the multiple reference ambient temperatures in the multiple adjacent mapping data includes the ambient temperature; and the reference initial temperature range formed by the multiple reference initial temperatures in the multiple adjacent mapping data includes the initial temperature.

[0082] Among them, the number of screened adjacent mapping data is at least three. To obtain a more accurate fitting relationship, the number of adjacent mapping data can be increased.

[0083] The reference ambient temperature range formed by multiple reference ambient temperatures among multiple adjacent mapping data represents the reference ambient temperature range formed by the lowest temperature and the highest temperature among multiple reference ambient temperatures. For example, if multiple reference ambient temperatures include: 10°C, 15°C, and 16°C, then the reference ambient temperature range is 10°C to 16°C.

[0084] The reference initial temperature range formed by multiple reference initial temperatures among multiple adjacent mapping data represents the reference initial temperature range formed by the lowest temperature and the highest temperature among multiple reference initial temperatures. For example, if multiple reference initial temperatures include: 12°C, 15°C, and 18°C, then the reference ambient temperature range is 12°C to 18°C.

[0085] Furthermore, the ambient temperature coefficient, the initial temperature coefficient, and the adjustment coefficient can be determined according to the adjacent mapping data. Furthermore, the first preset mapping relationship between the ice-making duration, the ambient temperature, and the initial temperature under the ice-making specification can be determined according to the ambient temperature coefficient, the initial temperature coefficient, and the adjustment coefficient.

[0086] Since the ice-making specifications are the same, a ternary linear equation of the reference ambient temperature, the reference initial temperature, and the reference ice-making duration can be constructed, that is, the reference ice-making duration = reference ambient temperature * ambient temperature coefficient + reference initial temperature * initial temperature coefficient + adjustment coefficient.

[0087] Substitute the screened adjacent mapping data into the constructed ternary linear equation to obtain the specific values of the ambient temperature coefficient, the initial temperature coefficient, and the adjustment coefficient, so as to obtain the ternary linear equation of the reference ambient temperature, the reference initial temperature, and the reference ice-making duration as the first preset mapping relationship.

[0088] The following will be elaborated in detail with specific examples.

[0089] Exemplarily, the current ambient temperature is 26°C, the initial temperature is 15°C, and the ice-making specification is the first gear. If the reference ice-making duration corresponding to the reference ambient temperature of 26°C, the reference initial temperature of 15°C, and the reference ice-making specification of the first gear in the mapping relationship set is 8 min 40 s, then directly query the mapping relationship set to determine that the ice-making duration is 8 min 40 s.

[0090] Exemplarily, to determine the ice-making duration corresponding to the current ambient temperature of 26°C, the initial temperature of 17°C, and the first gear of the ice-making specification, if the mapping relationship data set does not cover the case of the reference ice-making duration corresponding to the reference ambient temperature of 26°C, the reference initial temperature of 17°C, and the first gear of the reference ice-making specification, then the ice-making duration needs to be determined by linear fitting.

[0091] For example, if the adjacent data in the mapping relationship set includes: ① The reference ice-making duration Tm1 = 8 min 40 s corresponding to the reference ambient temperature Te1 = 26°C, the reference initial temperature Tw1 = 15°C, and the first gear of the reference ice-making specification.

[0092] ② The reference ice-making duration Tm2 = 9 min 40 s corresponding to the reference ambient temperature Te2 = 25°C, the reference initial temperature Tw2 = 20°C, and the first gear of the reference ice-making specification.

[0093] ③ The ice-making duration Tm3 = 9 min corresponding to the reference ambient temperature Te3 = 30°C, the reference initial temperature Tw3 = 15°C, and the first gear of the reference ice-making specification.

[0094] Then, fitting can be performed according to the adjacent data recorded in the mapping relationship set, and the linear relationship between the reference ice-making duration Tm, the reference ambient temperature Te, and the reference initial water temperature Tw can be constructed as: Tm = K1 * Te + K2 * Tw + K3.

[0095] Among them, K1 is the ambient temperature coefficient, K2 is the initial temperature coefficient, and K3 is the adjustment coefficient.

[0096] Substituting the above three groups of adjacent data into the linear relationship, the ambient temperature coefficient K1 = 5; the initial temperature coefficient K2 = 13; and the adjustment coefficient K3 = 195 are obtained.

[0097] Thus, Tm = 5 * Te + 13 * Tw + 195 is obtained.

[0098] Therefore, when the current ambient temperature Te = 26°C, the initial temperature Tw = 17°C, and the ice-making duration Tm corresponding to the first gear of the ice-making specification is Tm = 5 * 26 + 13 * 17 + 195 = 546 seconds (i.e., 9 min 6 s).

[0099] Step S230: Control the ice-making system to perform ice-making operations according to the ice-making duration.

[0100] Thus, by performing ice-making operations according to the ice-making duration accurately determined in combination with the ambient temperature and the initial temperature, the ice cube specifications can be accurately controlled, and the consistency of the ice-making products can be improved.

[0101] In some embodiments, the ice-making control method provided by the embodiments of the present application can also display the elapsed ice-making time in combination with the determined ice-making duration during the ice-making operation, so as to facilitate the user to understand the ice-making progress. For example, it can be displayed by means of displaying time, countdown, or progress bar, etc.

[0102] During the ice-making operation, there may be some interference factors (such as sudden change in ambient temperature, temperature detection failure, etc.) that cause the actual ice-making effect to not match the target, affecting the quality of the actual ice-making products.

[0103] To improve this technical problem, in some embodiments, step S230 includes the following steps.

[0104] (1) Obtain the historical ice-making specifications.

[0105] (2) Adjust the ice-making duration according to the historical ice-making specifications.

[0106] (3) Control the ice-making system to perform the ice-making operation according to the adjusted ice-making duration.

[0107] In the embodiments of the present application, the historical ice-making specifications are obtained from the ice cubes completed in the previous ice-making operation of the ice-making device, and the ice-making specifications corresponding to the previous ice-making operation and the current ice-making operation of the ice-making device are the same.

[0108] Since the number of ice grids in the ice-making device is limited, if the user needs a large number of ice cubes, multiple rounds of ice-making operations may be required. For example, each ice-making operation can produce 20 ice cubes. After each ice-making operation is completed, perform the de-icing operation to de-ice the 20 completed ice cubes and store them in the ice basket. If the number of ice cubes required by the user exceeds 20, then perform the corresponding number of ice-making operations according to the number of ice cubes required by the user.

[0109] In some embodiments, the historical ice-making specifications can be the ice-making specifications of the ice cubes obtained after the previous ice-making operation. In the case of multiple rounds of ice-making operations, if this round of ice-making operation is not the first operation of the multiple rounds of ice-making operations, then there is a previous ice-making operation for this round of ice-making operation (that is, there are historical ice-making specifications), and the ice-making operation of this round can be adjusted according to the situation of the previous ice-making operation, that is, use the ice-making specifications of the ice cubes completed in the previous ice-making operation to adjust the ice-making duration of the next round of ice-making operation.

[0110] There are many interferences that affect the ice-making quality (due to machine wear of the ice-making device, etc.). The interferences corresponding to the current multiple rounds of ice-making operations are similar. The ice-making duration of the next round can be adjusted with reference to the ice-making situation of the previous round, so that the same interferences can be controlled, and the overall ice-making quality can be further improved.

[0111] Specifically, during the ice-making process, the historical ice-making situation can be confirmed by obtaining the historical ice-making specifications.

[0112] For example, by obtaining the historical ice-making image of the ice cubes after the previous round of ice-making operation is completed, and passing the historical ice-making image through a pre-trained neural network model, the historical ice-making specifications can be determined (where the historical ice-making specifications can be represented by volume, mass, etc.).

[0113] Alternatively, the historical ice-making image can be used to identify the historical boundary of the ice cubes through image segmentation (such as Mask R-CNN) or contour detection (OpenCV or Canny algorithm), and then the boundary of the ice cubes can be identified according to the ice-making image corresponding to the ice-making specifications. Since the actual size of the ice cubes corresponding to the ice-making image is known, the proportional relationship between pixels and the actual size can be established, and then the historical ice-making specifications can be determined through conversion according to the proportional relationship and the historical boundary.

[0114] Optionally, the step of adjusting the ice-making duration according to the historical ice-making specifications includes the following steps.

[0115] (1) Determine the historical difference according to the historical ice-making specifications and the ice-making specifications.

[0116] (2) Determine the adjustment value according to the historical difference and the second preset mapping relationship; where the second preset mapping relationship represents the corresponding relationship between the historical difference and the first adjustment value under the ice-making specifications.

[0117] (3) Adjust the ice-making duration based on the first adjustment value.

[0118] There is a corresponding relationship between the historical ice-making specifications and the first adjustment value. In the absence of interference, the historical ice-making specifications are the same as the ice-making specifications. In the presence of interference, there is a deviation between the historical ice-making specifications and the ice-making specifications.

[0119] In some cases, due to reasons such as the aging of the ice-making equipment, under the same circumstances, it may cause the historical ice-making specifications to be less than the ice-making specifications. If the current ice-making specifications are less than the corresponding ice-making specifications, the ice-making duration needs to be increased.

[0120] In some cases, due to the deviation of the refrigeration power parameters, such as the error of the temperature sensor, resulting in a high refrigeration power, under the same circumstances, it may cause the historical ice-making specifications to be greater than the ice-making specifications. If the current ice-making specifications are greater than the corresponding ice-making specifications, the ice-making duration needs to be reduced. The greater the difference between the current ice-making specifications and the corresponding ice-making specifications, the greater the adjustment amplitude required.

[0121] The difference between the historical ice-making specifications and the ice-making specifications is the historical difference. In some embodiments, the historical difference can be obtained by subtracting the ice-making specifications from the historical specifications. In other embodiments, it can also be obtained by subtracting the historical specifications from the ice-making specifications. Specifically, it can be selected according to the usage requirements.

[0122] For example, when different historical differences are obtained in advance, a large amount of data on the first adjustment value required to adjust to the corresponding ice-making specifications can be obtained. Exemplarily, please refer to Table 2, which provides the historical differences and adjustment values corresponding to historical ice-making specifications of 56g, 51g, 50g, and 43g when the ice-making specification is 50g.

[0123] Exemplarily, when the ice-making specification is 50g, the historical difference corresponding to the historical ice-making specification of 56g is 6g, and the first adjustment value is -30s, thereby reducing the ice-making duration by 30s.

[0124] Table 2 Thus, linear fitting can be performed based on the above-mentioned pre-obtained data to obtain a second preset mapping relationship between the historical difference and the first adjustment value under different ice-making specifications. For example, in Table 2, when the ice-making specification is 50g, the second mapping relationship between the historical difference and the first adjustment value is: First adjustment value = 5 * historical difference.

[0125] In actual operation, whenever a round of ice-making operation is completed, the first adjustment value for the next round of ice-making operation can be determined based on the historical ice-making specification of the completed ice cubes and the second preset mapping relationship, thereby ensuring the overall ice-making quality.

[0126] Since the interference factors are the same during the same ice-making process, through the above method, the same interference factors can be effectively suppressed, thereby ensuring the ice-making quality.

[0127] Furthermore, the second preset mapping relationship can also be determined in combination with the environmental temperature and the initial temperature, that is, the second mapping relationship between the historical difference and the first adjustment value is determined by using multiple mapping data of the historical difference and the first adjustment value under the same ice-making specification, the same environmental temperature, and the same initial temperature, further improving the accuracy of ice-making control.

[0128] In some other embodiments, during each round of ice-making operation, an image of the ice cubes can be obtained at regular intervals to determine the real-time ice-making situation of the ice cubes during the ice-making process of the current ice-making operation, and the ice-making duration of the current ice-making operation can be adjusted, thereby controlling the overall ice-making quality in real time.

[0129] Optionally, the step of adjusting the ice-making duration according to the current ice-making specification includes the following steps.

[0130] (1) During the ice-making duration, according to a preset period, determine the current ice-making specification based on the situation of the current ice cubes, and obtain the real-time ice-making specification based on the environmental temperature, the initial temperature, the ice-making specification, and the ice-making duration that has elapsed.

[0131] In an embodiment of the present application, the ice-making specifications can be controlled in real time during each round of ice-making operation to control the ice quality in real time.

[0132] In some embodiments, the corresponding real-time ice-making specifications at different ice-making durations can be obtained in advance under different ice-making specifications, ambient temperatures, and initial temperatures.

[0133] For example, in the case where the ambient temperature is H1, the ice-making specification is at the first gear, and the initial temperature is W1, the ice cube specifications can be detected at different ice-making durations to obtain the real-time ice-making specifications corresponding to different ice-making durations.

[0134] Similarly, the real-time ice-making specifications corresponding to different ice-making durations can be further obtained under different combinations of ambient temperatures, ice-making specifications, and initial temperatures. Thus, based on the data obtained in advance above, combined with the current ambient temperature, initial temperature, and ice-making specification, the corresponding relationship between the ice-making duration and the real-time ice-making specification during the ice-making process can be obtained.

[0135] In the absence of interference, the current ice-making specification is the same as or similar to the real-time ice-making specification. In the presence of interference, the difference between the current ice-making specification and the real-time ice-making specification is relatively large. When the difference is greater than the preset value, the ice-making quality will be seriously affected.

[0136] Therefore, the current ice-making specification in the ice-making operation can be obtained regularly according to a preset period and compared with the corresponding real-time ice-making specification in a timely manner, so as to effectively control the ice-making quality. Exemplarily, the value range of the preset period can be 5s to 60s, and can be specifically set according to actual needs. For example, in the case of higher precision requirements, the value of the preset period can be further reduced.

[0137] (2) Determine the specification difference between the current ice-making specification and the real-time ice-making specification.

[0138] (3) Determine the second adjustment value according to the specification difference.

[0139] (4) Adjust the ice-making duration based on the second adjustment value.

[0140] In some embodiments, when the current ice-making specification is less than the real-time ice-making specification, the ice-making duration needs to be increased to make the ice cube larger. When the current ice-making specification is greater than the real-time ice-making specification, the ice-making duration needs to be reduced to make the ice cube smaller.

[0141] In some embodiments, the adjustment range of the ice-making duration (i.e., the second adjustment value) can be related to the difference range (i.e., the specification difference) between the current ice-making specification and the real-time ice-making specification. The greater the difference range, the greater the adjustment range.

[0142] Optionally, a preset proportionality coefficient can be set to control the adjusted unit amplitude, so as to determine the second adjustment value based on the preset proportionality coefficient and the specification difference.

[0143] For example, for every 1g difference, the adjustment duration is 10s, that is, the proportionality coefficient is 10s / g. If the current ice-making specification of 20g is less than the real-time ice-making specification of 22g, and the specification difference is 2g, then the second adjustment value is 20s, that is, the ice-making duration is adjusted by increasing 20s. If the current ice-making specification of 25g is greater than the real-time ice-making specification of 22g, and the specification difference is -3g, then the second adjustment value is 30s, that is, the ice-making duration is adjusted by decreasing 20s.

[0144] In some embodiments, the determination of the preset proportionality coefficient can also be combined with different ambient temperatures, initial temperatures, and ice-making specifications, that is, different combinations of ambient temperatures, initial temperatures, and ice-making specifications respectively match corresponding preset proportionality coefficients, so as to more accurately control the ice-making quality.

[0145] In other embodiments, the second adjustment value required to adjust to the real-time ice-making specification can be obtained in advance for different specification differences of the ice cubes. During actual use, the corresponding second adjustment value can be queried from the pre-obtained data according to the specification difference.

[0146] In some embodiments, when the specification difference between the current ice-making specification and the real-time ice-making specification is within the preset specification threshold range, it can be considered that the current ice-making specification is the same as or similar to the real-time ice-making specification, and the current ice-making situation does not affect the ice-making quality, and the ice-making duration can be not adjusted. On the one hand, when the difference is small, the impact on the ice-making quality is small; on the other hand, if the difference continues to accumulate and exceeds the preset specification threshold range, subsequent detection can also make adjustments in time. While ensuring the ice-making quality, it can avoid frequent adjustments from affecting the ice-making efficiency.

[0147] In some embodiments, the preset specification threshold range can be -5g - 5g. In other embodiments, the preset specification threshold range can also be adjusted as needed. It can be understood that the smaller the preset specification threshold range, the more strict the control of the accuracy. It is also possible to perform differential control on the differences in different directions of the ice cubes according to actual needs. For example, if the current ice-making specification is less than the real-time ice-making specification, then the difference between the current ice-making specification and the real-time ice-making specification is less than the first difference; if the current ice-making specification is greater than the real-time ice-making specification, then the difference between the current ice-making specification and the real-time ice-making specification is greater than the second difference. The first difference and the second difference can be different, that is, the two endpoints of the preset specification threshold range can be set according to the needs of quality control, and the two can be the same or different.

[0148] (5) Control the ice-making system to perform ice-making operations according to the adjusted ice-making duration.

[0149] In some embodiments, the remaining ice-making duration is controlled according to the adjusted ice-making duration, that is, the remaining ice-making duration = the adjusted ice-making duration - the ice-making duration already completed. Thereby, the ice-making operation is adjusted to control the quality of the ice produced in real time.

[0150] In some embodiments, to offset the impact of the adjustment on the accuracy of the obtained real-time ice-making specification, when obtaining the real-time ice-making specification in each cycle, the previous adjustment situation needs to be considered.

[0151] The steps of determining the current ice-making specification according to the situation of the current ice block at a preset cycle within the ice-making duration and obtaining the real-time ice-making specification based on the ambient temperature, initial temperature, ice-making specification, and the ice-making duration already completed include the following steps.

[0152] (1) Within the ice-making duration, at a preset cycle, determine the current ice-making specification according to the situation of the current ice block, and determine the actual ice-making duration already completed based on the historical second adjustment value and the ice-making duration already completed.

[0153] (2) And obtain the real-time ice-making specification based on the ambient temperature, initial temperature, ice-making specification, and the actual ice-making duration already completed.

[0154] For example, in a certain cycle, the ice-making duration already completed is 60 s, but the current ice-making specification differs from the real-time ice-making specification by 2 g, that is, at least 20 s need to be added to reach the real-time ice-making specification corresponding to 60 s. That is to say, the actual ice-making situation is equivalent to the real-time ice-making specification with an ice-making duration of 40 s (that is, the actual ice-making duration already completed should be reduced by 20 s based on the current ice-making duration already completed). Then, in the next cycle, the obtained current ice-making specification is equivalent to the real-time ice-making specification corresponding to an ice-making duration of (40 s + cycle duration).

[0155] It can be understood that in the first detection cycle, since there has been no adjustment of the ice-making duration, there is no historical second adjustment value, and the actual ice-making duration already completed is equivalent to the ice-making duration already completed.

[0156] In subsequent detection cycles, the actual ice-making duration already completed can be determined by combining the historical second adjustment value and the ice-making duration of the previous detection cycle.

[0157] Exemplarily, the actual ice-making duration already completed = the ice-making duration - the sum of all historical second adjustment values.

[0158] For example, the preset cycle is 10 s, that is, the real-time ice-making specification is obtained and adjusted every 10 s.

[0159] In the first detection period, the first current ice-making specification is obtained at the 10th second. Since there are no historical first and second adjustment values in the first detection period, the first real-time ice-making specification at the 10th second is obtained and compared with the first current ice-making specification, and the first and second adjustment value is obtained as 2 seconds.

[0160] In the second detection period, the second current ice-making specification is obtained at the 20th second. The current ice-making duration is 20 seconds, and the historical first and second adjustment value is 2 seconds. Then the actual ice-making duration = ice-making duration - first and second adjustment value = 20 s - 2 s = 18 s; then the second real-time ice-making specification at the 18th second is obtained and compared with the second current ice-making specification, and the second and second adjustment value is obtained as 0 seconds.

[0161] In the third detection period, the third current ice-making specification is obtained at the 30th second. The current ice-making duration is 30 seconds, and the historical first and second adjustment value is 2 seconds and the second and second adjustment value is 0 seconds. Then the actual ice-making duration = ice-making duration - (first and second adjustment value + second and second adjustment value) = 30 s - (2 + 0) s = 28 s; then the third real-time ice-making specification at the 28th second is obtained and compared with the third current ice-making specification, and the third and second adjustment value is obtained as -3 seconds.

[0162] In the fourth detection period, the fourth current ice-making specification is obtained at the 40th second. The current ice-making duration is 40 seconds, and the historical first and second adjustment value is 2 seconds, the second and second adjustment value is 0 seconds, and the third and second adjustment value is -3 seconds. Then the actual ice-making duration = ice-making duration - (first and second adjustment value + second and second adjustment value + third and second adjustment value) = 40 s - (2 + 0 - 3) s = 41 s; then the third real-time ice-making specification at the 41st second is obtained and compared with the third current ice-making specification, and the third and second adjustment value is obtained as 2 seconds.

[0163] In some embodiments, before ice-making regulation is performed in each detection period, the current ice-making situation can also be compared with the target ice-making demand first. When the target ice-making demand is met, ice-making regulation can be stopped, and instead, the ice-making operation can be directly exited and subsequent ice removal processing can be performed, thereby further improving the ice-making efficiency.

[0164] Specifically, before the step of determining the specification difference between the current ice-making specification and the real-time ice-making specification, the refrigeration control method provided by the embodiments of the present application may further include the following steps.

[0165] (1) During the ice-making duration, at a preset period, determine the target difference between the current ice-making specification and the ice-making specification.

[0166] (2) If the target difference is greater than a preset threshold, then execute the step of determining the specification difference between the current ice-making specification and the real-time ice-making specification.

[0167] (3) If the target difference is less than or equal to the preset threshold, stop the ice-making operation.

[0168] Among them, the value range of the preset threshold can be set according to actual needs. For example, it can be set to 0.5g - 10g. The smaller the value of the preset threshold, the higher the precision requirement for the ice-making blocks. Specifically, it can be set according to actual precision needs, and this application does not limit it.
