[0035] In some embodiments, Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for controlling home appliances provided in an embodiment of this application is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, a method for controlling household appliances is proposed, including:

[0036] In step S102, before the ice maker makes ice, the air in the water storage box is electrolyzed through the water ion module to obtain active gas.

[0037] In this embodiment, a control method for a household appliance is proposed, wherein the household appliance includes an ice maker, an ice storage box, a water storage box, an electrolyzed water module, and a water ion module.

[0038] It should be noted that the water storage box is a container for storing water, the ice maker is a device for making ice cubes, the ice storage box is a container for storing ice cubes, and the water electrolysis module and the water ion module are installed in the water storage box. The water electrolysis module is used to purify the water in the water storage box, and the water ion module is used to purify the ice cubes in the water storage box.

[0039] For example, the appliance could be an ice maker or a refrigerator.

[0040] Before the ice maker makes ice, the water ion module is turned on. The water ion module electrolyzes the air in the water storage box to obtain active gas, which is a gas containing active substances.

[0041] For example, the reactive gas may include reactive particles, such as free radicals, reactive oxygen species, etc.

[0042] Step S104: The active gas is transferred to the ice storage box to purify the air in the ice storage box.

[0043] The active gas is transferred to the ice storage box to purify the air inside.

[0044] By purifying the air inside the ice storage box, odorous gases can be removed, preventing them from contaminating the ice.

[0045] For example, an air passage connects the ice storage box and the water storage box, through which active gas is transferred to the ice storage box.

[0046] For example, the household appliance may include a refrigeration device such as a refrigerator or freezer, which can deliver active gas to the refrigerator compartment to purify the air inside the refrigerator compartment.

[0047] Step S106: Electrolyze the water in the water storage box using the water electrolysis module to obtain ozone water.

[0048] The water in the storage box is electrolyzed through the water electrolysis module, converting the water in the storage box into ozone water, which is water containing ozone.

[0049] For example, the concentration of ozone water is controlled at 0.2-0.5 mg / L. Ozone water can react with dissolved odors in the storage box and be reduced to oxygen. At the same time, during the freezing process of ozone water, ozone that has not reacted with odors continues to decompose and form oxygen.

[0050] Step S108: Transfer the ozone water in the water storage box to the ice maker.

[0051] The ozone water in the water storage box is transferred to the ice maker.

[0052] For example, an ice maker can be an ice container.

[0053] For example, a water channel connects the ice maker and the water storage box, through which ozone water is transported to the ice maker.

[0054] Step S110: Control the ice maker to make ice and store the ice made by the ice maker in the ice storage box.

[0055] Control the ice maker to make ice and store the ice blocks made by the ice maker in the ice storage box.

[0056] For example, the ice maker can be positioned above the ice storage box. After the ice maker makes ice cubes, the ice cubes can fall into the ice storage box by their own weight.

[0057] It should be noted that ozone ice can be obtained by making ice with ozone water. Ozone ice is of higher quality than normal ice. Ozone ice can be used for the pre-treatment of food during cooking, which can extend the shelf life of the food.

[0058] The control method for the home appliance in this embodiment uses a water ion module to electrolyze the air in the water storage box to obtain active gas. The active gas is then used to purify the air in the ice storage box, removing odorous gases. Ozone water is then used to make ice cubes, which are stored in the purified ice storage box. This achieves purification and sterilization of the home appliance, improves the quality of the ice cubes made by the appliance, avoids safety issues with the ice cubes, and ensures food safety for users.

[0059] In some embodiments, a method for controlling a household appliance is proposed, which further includes, after storing ice cubes made by an ice maker in an ice storage box:

[0060] Step S202: Obtain the preset first duration.

[0061] In this embodiment, a preset first duration is obtained, wherein the first duration is the time interval for activating the purification ice storage box function.

[0062] For example, the first duration can be 2 minutes.

[0063] In step S204, every first time interval, the active gas in the water storage box is transferred to the ice storage box to purify the air in the ice storage box.

[0064] Every first hour, the active gas in the water storage box is transferred to the ice storage box to purify the air in the ice storage box.

[0065] For example, the air in the ice storage box is purified every first hour to ensure that no odorous gases are produced in the ice storage box.

[0066] The control method for the household appliances in this embodiment transmits the active gas in the water storage box to the ice storage box at first intervals to purify the air in the ice storage box, ensuring that no odor gas appears in the ice storage box and preventing odor gas from contaminating the ice in the ice storage box, thereby ensuring the quality of the ice in the ice storage box.

[0067] In some embodiments, a method for controlling a household appliance is proposed, which further includes the following steps before the ice maker makes ice:

[0068] Step S302: Obtain the preset second duration.

[0069] In this embodiment, a preset second duration is obtained, wherein the second duration is the duration interval for activating the water ion module.

[0070] For example, the second duration can be 1 minute.

[0071] Step S304: Every second time interval, the water ion module is activated to electrolyze the air in the water storage box.

[0072] Every second interval, the water ion module is activated to electrolyze the air in the water storage box.

[0073] For example, at a first interval, the water ion module is activated to electrolyze the air in the water storage box to ensure the content of active gas in the water storage box, thereby ensuring the demand of home appliances for active gas.

[0074] The control method for the home appliance in this embodiment activates the water ion module every second time interval to electrolyze the air in the water storage box, ensuring the content of active gas in the water storage box, thereby ensuring the home appliance's demand for active gas and achieving purification and sterilization of the home appliance.

[0075] In some embodiments, a method for controlling a household appliance is proposed, which, after transferring ozone water from a water storage tank to an ice maker, further includes:

[0076] Step S402: Determine the water level in the water storage box through the water electrolysis module to obtain the first water level.

[0077] In this embodiment, the household appliance also includes a first pipe, one end of which is connected to an ice maker and the other end of which is connected to a water storage box.

[0078] For example, the first pipe can be a water pipe.

[0079] The water level in the water storage box is detected by the water electrolysis module to obtain the first water level, which is the real-time water level of the water storage box.

[0080] In step S404, if it is determined that the first water level is lower than the preset water level, the active gas in the water storage box is transferred to the ice storage box through the first pipe to purify the ice storage box and the first pipe.

[0081] Obtain the preset water level and compare it with the first water level. The preset water level indicates the preset water volume of the water storage box.

[0082] For example, the preset water level can be the warning water level.

[0083] If the first water level is lower than the preset water level, it means that the water level in the water storage box is too low, and the water in the water storage box is no longer sufficient for the ice-making process.

[0084] When the first water level is lower than the preset water level, the first pipe and the ice storage box can be purified and sterilized. That is, the active gas in the water storage box is transferred to the ice storage box through the first pipe to purify the ice storage box and the first pipe.

[0085] In this embodiment, the control method for the household appliance, when it is determined that the first water level is lower than the preset water level, transmits the active gas in the water storage box to the ice storage box through the first pipe to purify the ice storage box and the first pipe, ensuring the content of active gas in the ice storage box and the first pipe, thereby achieving purification and sterilization of the ice storage box and the first pipe.

[0086] In some embodiments, a control method for a household appliance is proposed, which determines the water level in a water storage box through a water electrolysis module to obtain a first water level, including:

[0087] Step S502: During the operation of the water electrolysis module, the current between the electrodes in the water electrolysis module is detected to obtain the first current.

[0088] In this embodiment, during the operation of the water electrolysis module, the current between the electrodes in the water electrolysis module is detected to obtain a first current, wherein the first current is the current between the electrodes in the water electrolysis module.

[0089] For example, the water electrolysis module includes a positive electrode and a negative electrode. During the operation of the water electrolysis module, the current between the positive electrode and the negative electrode is detected to obtain a first current.

[0090] Step S504: Determine the water level in the water storage box based on the first current to obtain the first water level.

[0091] Based on the first current, the water level in the water storage box is determined, and the first water level is obtained.

[0092] For example, there is a correspondence between the current between the electrodes of the water electrolysis module and the water level in the water storage box. Based on this correspondence, the first water level corresponding to the first current is determined.

[0093] The control method for the household appliances in this embodiment obtains a first current by detecting the current between the electrodes in the water electrolysis module, and determines the first water level in the water storage box based on the first current, thus ensuring the accuracy of the first water level and consequently ensuring the accuracy of the water level detection in the water storage box.

[0094] In some embodiments, a control method for a household appliance is proposed, which electrolyzes water in a water storage box using a water electrolysis module to obtain ozone water, including:

[0095] In step S602, during the electrolysis of water in the water storage box by the water electrolysis module, the ozone content of the water in the water storage box is detected by an ozone detector to obtain the first content.

[0096] In this embodiment, the household appliance also includes an ozone detector, which is installed in the water storage box and is used to detect the ozone content of the water in the water storage box.

[0097] During the electrolysis of water in the water storage box by the water electrolysis module, the ozone content of the water in the water storage box is detected by an ozone detector to obtain the first content, which is the real-time ozone content of the water in the water storage box.

[0098] Step S604: Obtain the preset ozone content range.

[0099] Obtain the preset ozone content range, where the ozone content range is the preset range for ozone content.

[0100] For example, the ozone content range can be the safe ozone content range.

[0101] For example, the ozone concentration range can be 0.2-0.5 mg / L.

[0102] Step S606: When it is determined that the first content is within the ozone content range, the water electrolysis module is controlled to stop working.

[0103] When the ozone content is determined to be within the range, it indicates that the ozone content of the water in the storage box meets the standard. The electrolysis water module is then stopped to prevent the ozone content of the water in the storage box from exceeding the standard.

[0104] The control method for the household appliances in this embodiment uses an ozone detector to detect the ozone content in the water storage box and obtain a first content. When it is determined that the first content is within the ozone content range, the electrolysis water module is controlled to stop working to prevent the ozone content in the water storage box from exceeding the standard, thereby ensuring the safety of the ice cubes for consumption.

[0105] In some embodiments, a method for controlling a household appliance is proposed, which further includes, after storing ice cubes made by an ice maker in an ice storage box:

[0106] Step S702: The weight of the ice in the ice storage box is detected by a weight detector to obtain the first weight.

[0107] In this embodiment, the home appliance also includes a weight detector, which is disposed on the ice storage box.

[0108] The weight of the ice in the ice storage box is detected by a weight detector to obtain the first weight, which is the real-time weight of the ice in the ice storage box.

[0109] Step S704: Obtain the preset weight threshold.

[0110] Obtain a preset weight threshold, where the weight threshold is a preset threshold for the weight of ice in the ice storage box.

[0111] For example, the weight threshold can be an upper limit threshold for the weight of ice cubes.

[0112] Step S706: If the first weight is determined to be greater than or equal to the weight threshold, the ice maker is controlled to stop working.

[0113] If the weight is greater than or equal to the weight threshold, it means that the weight of the ice in the ice storage box has reached the upper limit of the ice storage box, and the ice maker will stop working to prevent the ice storage box from being overloaded.

[0114] The control method for home appliances in this embodiment uses a weight detector to detect the weight of ice in the ice storage box and obtain a first weight. If the first weight is greater than or equal to a weight threshold, it indicates that the weight of ice in the ice storage box has reached the upper limit of the ice storage box, thus preventing the ice storage box from being overweight and improving the safety of the home appliances.

[0115] In some embodiments, Figure 2 A functional block diagram of the control device for home appliances provided in the embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a control device 800 for a home appliance, comprising:

[0116] The control unit 802 is used to electrolyze the air in the water storage box through the water ion module to obtain active gas before the ice maker makes ice;

[0117] The control unit 802 is also used to transfer the active gas to the ice storage box to purify the air in the ice storage box;

[0118] The control unit 802 is also used to electrolyze the water in the water storage box through the water electrolysis module to obtain ozone water;

[0119] The control unit 802 is also used to transfer ozone water from the water storage box to the ice maker;

[0120] The control unit 802 is also used to control the ice maker to make ice and to store the ice made by the ice maker in an ice storage box.

[0121] In this embodiment, a control device 800 for a household appliance is proposed, wherein the household appliance includes an ice maker, an ice storage box, a water storage box, an electrolyzed water module, and a water ion module.

[0122] It should be noted that the water storage box is a container for storing water, the ice maker is a device for making ice cubes, the ice storage box is a container for storing ice cubes, and the water electrolysis module and the water ion module are installed in the water storage box. The water electrolysis module is used to purify the water in the water storage box, and the water ion module is used to purify the ice cubes in the water storage box.

[0123] For example, the appliance could be an ice maker or a refrigerator.

[0124] Before the ice maker makes ice, the water ion module is turned on. The water ion module electrolyzes the air in the water storage box to obtain active gas, which is a gas containing active substances.

[0125] For example, the reactive gas may include reactive particles, such as free radicals, reactive oxygen species, etc.

[0126] The active gas is transferred to the ice storage box to purify the air inside.

[0127] By purifying the air inside the ice storage box, odorous gases can be removed, preventing them from contaminating the ice.

[0128] For example, an air passage connects the ice storage box and the water storage box, through which active gas is transferred to the ice storage box.

[0129] For example, the appliance could be a refrigerator that can deliver active gas to the refrigerator's crisper compartment to purify the air inside.

[0130] The water in the storage box is electrolyzed through the water electrolysis module, converting the water in the storage box into ozone water, which is water containing ozone.

[0131] For example, the concentration of ozone water is controlled at 0.2-0.5 mg / L. Ozone water can react with dissolved odors in the storage box and be reduced to oxygen. At the same time, during the freezing process of ozone water, ozone that has not reacted with odors continues to decompose and form oxygen.

[0132] The ozone water in the water storage box is transferred to the ice maker.

[0133] For example, an ice maker can be an ice container.

[0134] For example, a water channel connects the ice maker and the water storage box, through which ozone water is transported to the ice maker.

[0135] Control the ice maker to make ice and store the ice blocks made by the ice maker in the ice storage box.

[0136] For example, the ice maker can be positioned above the ice storage box. After the ice maker makes ice cubes, the ice cubes can fall into the ice storage box by their own weight.

[0137] It should be noted that ozone ice can be obtained by making ice with ozone water. Ozone ice is of higher quality than normal ice. Ozone ice can be used for the pre-treatment of food during cooking, which can extend the shelf life of the food.

[0138] In this embodiment, the control device 800 of the home appliance uses a water ion module to electrolyze the air in the water storage box to obtain active gas. The active gas is then used to purify the air in the ice storage box, removing odorous gases. Ozone water is then used to make ice cubes, which are stored in the purified ice storage box. This process achieves purification and sterilization of the home appliance, improves the quality of the ice cubes made by the appliance, avoids safety issues with the ice cubes, and ensures food safety for users.

[0139] For example, Figure 3 This is one of the functional schematic diagrams of the control device for home appliances provided in the embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 3 As shown, in automatic ice-making mode, before the automatic ice maker starts pumping water to make ice, the deodorization module is activated, and the air pump draws clean air into the ice storage box for sterilization. Then, the water pump draws water to make ice. After the first ice-making cycle is completed (t1min), the deodorization module is activated again, and the air pump draws air to clean the ice cubes. (t0min) is half the time required for one ice-making cycle. This cycle continues until the ice box is full or the water box is empty. If the water box is full, the system switches to ice storage mode. During ice storage, the purification module is activated every t1min, and the air pump draws air once, repeating the cycle. If the water box is empty, the water pump draws active particle air once to purify the entire pipeline and ice box. Users can also manually select to clean the ice-making system.

[0140] For example, Figure 4 This is a second functional schematic diagram of the control device for a home appliance provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, in the edible ice mode, when the ice maker's main control receives an ice-making request, the electrolysis device starts working. The working time depends on the ozone production capacity, maintaining the ozone water concentration at 0.2-0.5 mg / L. The generated ozone water reacts with dissolved odors in the water tank, being reduced to oxygen. Simultaneously, during the water freezing process, any ozone that has not reacted with the odors continuously decomposes to form oxygen. After each ice-making cycle, the electrolysis device briefly restarts to check if there is water in the water tank and prompts the user to add water.

[0141] For example, Figure 5 This is the third functional schematic diagram of the control device for home appliances provided in the embodiments of this application, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, when the user sets the home appliance to the cooking ice mode, the control electrolysis module keeps the ozone water concentration between 0.5-2 mg / L. The ozone water is then quickly transported to the freezer for rapid ice making, producing ozone ice for the pre-treatment of food ingredients.

[0142] For example, Figure 6 This is the fourth functional schematic diagram of the control device for the home appliance provided in the embodiments of this application, as shown below. Figure 6As shown, when the user sets the home appliance to self-cleaning mode, the electrolysis module will prepare 0.5-2 mg / L ozone water to flush the entire water circuit.
