Abstract
An ice-making method includes obtaining temperatures affecting ice making, determining, based on the temperatures affecting ice making, an operation sequence and a running mode for a refrigeration system and an ice scraping assembly of an ice-making apparatus, and controlling, based on the operation sequence and the running mode, the refrigeration system and the ice scraping assembly to operate.
Claims20
An ice-making method comprising:
- obtaining temperatures affecting ice making;
- determining, based on the temperatures affecting ice making, an operation sequence and a running mode for a refrigeration system and an ice scraping assembly of an ice-making apparatus;
- and
- controlling, based on the operation sequence and the running mode, the refrigeration system and the ice scraping assembly to operate.
An ice-making apparatus, comprising:
- an ice-making drum provided with an ice scraping assembly;
- a refrigeration system including a compressor, a condenser, a throttle device, and an evaporator, that are sequentially in communication to form a refrigeration cycle loop, the evaporator being configured to cool the drum, to enable water in the drum to freeze into ice;
- and
- a controller storing an ice-making control program and configured to execute the ice-making control program to:
- obtain temperatures affecting ice making;
- determine, based on the temperatures affecting ice making, an operation sequence and a running mode for the refrigeration system and the ice scraping assembly;
- and
- controlling, based on the operation sequence and running mode, the refrigeration system and the ice scraping assembly to operate.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
- obtain temperatures affecting ice making;
- determine, based on the temperatures affecting ice making, an operation sequence and a running mode for a refrigeration system and an ice scraping assembly of an ice-making apparatus;
- and
- control, based on the operation sequence and running mode, the refrigeration system and the ice scraping assembly to operate.
