Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] This application provides an ice-making device and its control method, control device and storage medium to solve the problem that existing water storage boxes pose a risk of directly supplying contaminated water to the ice-making box, which affects the health of users. The following description is in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] The control method for an ice-making device provided in this application embodiment includes a water storage box and an ice-making box. The water storage box contains a light emitter and a light receiver. The light receiver receives light signals passing through the water stored in the water storage box. (See also...) Figure 1 The method includes the following steps: Step S101: In response to the water quality detection command, control the light emitter to turn on; Step S102: Obtain the voltage value of the optical receiver; Step S103: Determine the turbidity of the water stored in the water storage box based on the voltage value; Step S104: The water storage box determines whether to supply water to the ice maker based on the turbidity.

[0026] The control method for the ice-making equipment provided in this application embodiment involves a light transmitter emitting a light signal that is scattered by the water stored in the storage box. Part of the scattered light is received by the light receiver. It is understood that when the light beam passes through the water stored in the storage box, suspended particles in the water (such as silt, microorganisms, organic matter, etc.) will scatter, absorb, or reflect the light, causing changes in light intensity. The voltage value of the light receiver changes with the light intensity. Therefore, by measuring the voltage value of the light receiver, the turbidity of the water sample is calculated, thereby indirectly reflecting the cleanliness of the water. Based on the cleanliness of the water, it is determined whether to supply water to the ice-making box to ensure that the water source for the ice-making box is clean.

[0027] Among them, the light emitter can be a light-emitting diode (such as visible light LED (red, green, blue, white light (blue light chip + phosphor), infrared LED, ultraviolet LED), organic light-emitting diode, fluorescent lamp, etc.).

[0028] Optical receivers can be photodiodes, PIN photodiodes, avalanche photodiodes, photoresistors, etc.

[0029] Optionally, determining the turbidity of the water stored in the water tank based on the voltage value includes: determining the light intensity received by the light receiver based on the voltage value; and determining the turbidity based on the light intensity.

[0030] In some examples, the ice-making equipment has a pre-stored voltage-light intensity data model. The light intensity can be obtained from this model. The voltage-light intensity data model can be a data model determined experimentally, or it can refer to the following formula: V = k1 * I + b1; Where k1 is the sensitivity coefficient of the optical receiver, b1 is the bias voltage of the optical receiver, I is the light intensity, and V is the voltage value.

[0031] In some examples, the ice-making equipment has a pre-stored light intensity-turbidity data model. Turbidity can be obtained based on this model. The light intensity-turbidity data model can be an experimentally determined model, or it can be based on the following formula: I = k2 / (N+b2); Where k2 and b2 are experimentally calibrated constants, I is the light intensity, and N is the turbidity.

[0032] Therefore, in some examples, the ice-making equipment has a pre-stored voltage-light intensity-turbidity data model. Turbidity can be obtained based on this model. The voltage-light intensity-turbidity data model can be a data model determined experimentally, or it can refer to the following formula: V = k1 * k2 / (N + b2) + b1; Where k1 is the sensitivity coefficient of the light receiver, b1 is the bias voltage of the light receiver, k2 and b2 are experimentally calibrated constants, V is the voltage value, and N is the turbidity.

[0033] For example, an 850nm infrared LED light source is used. When the light beam passes through the water sample in the transparent storage box, a high-sensitivity photodiode photoreceptor captures the weak light intensity and converts it into voltage. After being amplified by a low-noise amplifier, the voltage is transmitted to an analog-to-digital converter, which converts the analog signal into a digital signal for processing by a microprocessor. In some examples, the ice-making device can be a refrigerator, with the water storage box located in the refrigerator compartment. Since the temperature change in the refrigerator compartment is small, its impact on turbidity can be ignored. Therefore, turbidity values ​​collected from different water samples are experimentally calibrated to form a data model of voltage value-light intensity-turbidity.

[0034] Optionally, the light transmitter and light receiver are located on the same side of the water storage box to make the installation structure of the light transmitter and light receiver more compact, reduce the overall installation space required for the water storage box, and improve the space utilization of the ice-making equipment. Therefore, the light intensity received by the light receiver is the intensity of the light signal scattered or reflected back by suspended particles in the stored water. At this time, the more suspended particles in the stored water, the higher the light intensity received by the light receiver, the higher the voltage value of the light receiver in the acquisition channel, and the higher the calculated N, i.e., turbidity, indicating that the water is more turbid; the fewer suspended particles in the stored water, the lower the light intensity received by the light receiver, the lower the voltage value of the light receiver in the acquisition channel, and the lower the calculated N, i.e., turbidity, indicating that the water is clearer.

[0035] As an alternative implementation, the light transmitter and light receiver can also be located on opposite sides of the water storage box. In this case, the light intensity received by the light receiver is the intensity of the light signal that passes through the stored water, i.e., the intensity of the light signal that is lost due to scattering, reflection, and refraction. In this case, the more suspended particles in the stored water, the lower the light intensity received by the light receiver, the lower the voltage value of the light receiver in the acquisition channel, and the higher the calculated N, i.e., turbidity, indicating that the water is more turbid. Conversely, the fewer suspended particles in the stored water, the higher the light intensity received by the light receiver, the higher the voltage value of the light receiver in the acquisition channel, and the lower the calculated N, i.e., turbidity, indicating that the water is clearer.

[0036] As an alternative implementation, the light transmitter and light receiver can also be located on adjacent sides inside the water storage box. In this case, the light intensity received by the light receiver is the intensity of the light signal scattered or reflected back by suspended particles in the stored water. The more suspended particles in the stored water, the higher the light intensity received by the light receiver, the higher the voltage value of the light receiver in the acquisition channel, and the higher the calculated N, i.e., turbidity, indicating that the water is more turbid. Conversely, the fewer suspended particles in the stored water, the lower the light intensity received by the light receiver, the lower the voltage value of the light receiver in the acquisition channel, and the lower the calculated N, i.e., turbidity, indicating that the water is clearer.

[0037] Optionally, the water storage box determines whether to supply water to the ice maker based on the turbidity, including: if the turbidity is greater than a first threshold, controlling the water storage box to drain water; if the turbidity is less than or equal to the first threshold, controlling the water storage box to supply water to the ice maker.

[0038] In some examples, the first threshold can be 5 NTU. When the turbidity is less than or equal to 5 NTU, it indicates that it meets the drinking water standard, the water looks clear to the naked eye, and it can be supplied directly.

[0039] Optionally, please refer to Figure 2 If the turbidity is greater than the first threshold, the water storage box is controlled to drain, including: if the turbidity is greater than the first threshold and less than or equal to the second threshold, the water storage box is controlled to drain and a prompt to add water is given; if the turbidity is greater than the second threshold, the water storage box is controlled to drain and a prompt to clean the water storage box and add water is given; wherein the second threshold is greater than the first threshold.

[0040] In some examples, the second threshold can be 50 NTU. That is, when the turbidity is greater than 5 NTU and less than or equal to 50 NTU, it indicates that the stored water contains a certain amount of suspended particles and is slightly turbid to the naked eye. It is not recommended to drink it directly. Therefore, the water tank is drained and a water replenishment prompt is given. When the turbidity is greater than 50 NTU, it indicates that the turbidity is high and contains a large number of suspended particles. It is absolutely not safe to drink directly. Moreover, due to the excessive amount of suspended matter in the stored water, even if the water is drained, some of the suspended matter may still adhere to the inner wall of the water tank. Therefore, the water tank needs to be cleaned to ensure a clean water storage environment before adding water.

[0041] This section does not further limit the operation of cleaning the water storage tank. In some examples, the ice-making equipment has a cleaning module for cleaning the water storage tank, so the ice-making equipment can directly control the cleaning module to clean the water storage tank. In other examples, to save on manufacturing costs, the ice-making equipment does not have a cleaning module, and the user can be prompted to intervene to clean the water storage tank. Methods of prompting the user include, but are not limited to, a buzzer sounding, a constantly lit digital display, and a push notification from a mobile app.

[0042] This document does not further limit the operation of cleaning the water storage box. In some examples, the ice-making equipment is equipped with an automatic water-filling module, so the ice-making equipment can directly control the automatic water-filling module to add water to the water storage box. In other examples, to save on manufacturing costs, the ice-making equipment is not equipped with an automatic water-filling module, and the user can be prompted to intervene to add water. The methods of prompting the user include, but are not limited to, a buzzer sounding, a constantly lit digital display, and a push notification message from a mobile app.

[0043] Optionally, the ice-making device includes a filter module located upstream of the water storage box, and the method further includes: in response to a water addition operation, obtaining the turbidity of the stored water after water addition; if the turbidity of the stored water after water addition is greater than a first threshold, prompting to clean the filter module.

[0044] If the turbidity of the stored water is still greater than the first threshold after adding water, the filter module may be malfunctioning. You can clean the filter module to remove any interference.

[0045] The filter module can be installed on the water inlet pipe of the ice maker, such as on the wall behind the ice maker or under the water tank. The filter module is an independent filter bottle or filter housing, which needs to be opened and the internal filter element replaced regularly. Alternatively, the filter module can be a filter cartridge compartment built into some high-end ice makers, which users can directly replace, making it more aesthetically pleasing and convenient.

[0046] Optionally, in response to the update operation of the filter module, the turbidity of the stored water after adding water can be obtained again; if the turbidity of the stored water after adding water is less than or equal to the first threshold, the water storage box is controlled to supply water to the ice maker.

[0047] Optionally, the ice-making device includes an ice-making mode and a non-ice-making mode, and the method includes: in response to an ice-making mode command, generating a water quality detection command every first preset time interval; in response to a non-ice-making mode command, generating a water quality detection command every second preset time interval, and issuing a water quality alarm message when the turbidity is greater than a third threshold; wherein the first preset time interval is less than the second preset time interval.

[0048] Understandably, in ice-making mode, the ice maker typically makes ice multiple times consecutively. Testing the water quality before each ice-making cycle would slow down the process. Furthermore, the water in the storage tank is less likely to become contaminated in a short period. Therefore, in ice-making mode, the water quality can be tested every preset interval, such as three, four, or five hours. In non-ice-making mode, such as standby or other operating conditions, the water in the storage tank may gradually become turbid due to longer storage time. Therefore, the time interval between two consecutive water quality tests can be relatively longer, such as a second preset interval of 12, 13, or 24 hours. A water quality alarm should be issued when the turbidity exceeds a third threshold, indicating very poor water quality, to prevent further deterioration of the contaminated water and its impact on the overall health of the ice maker. The water quality alarm can be triggered through methods such as a buzzer on the display panel, a constantly lit digital display, or a push notification via a mobile app, to alert the user that the water in the storage tank is contaminated and needs cleaning or replacement.

[0049] The third threshold can be greater than or equal to the second threshold, such as 50 NTU, 100 NTU, or 150 NTU. Preferably, the third threshold can be greater than the second threshold to minimize the number of user interventions, thereby improving the user experience while ensuring the safe use of the ice-making equipment.

[0050] Optionally, before controlling the light emitter to turn on, the method further includes: obtaining the open / closed state of the ice-making equipment door; if the door is closed, then controlling the light emitter to turn on.

[0051] To avoid interference from indoor light to the light receiver when the door is open, the system first checks whether the door is closed upon receiving a water quality testing command. The light transmitter is only activated when the door is closed to ensure that the light receiver receives only the light emitted by the light transmitter, thus guaranteeing the accuracy of the test results.

[0052] Optionally, if the door is open, a door-closing reminder will be issued.

[0053] This application also provides a control device for an ice-making apparatus. The ice-making apparatus includes a water storage box and an ice-making box.
