Limescale monitoring method and electric steam box applying limescale monitoring method

Abstract

The invention relates to a limescale monitoring method. The method comprises the following steps that the limescale generation speed of water different in hardness is initialized, and the alarm limescale mass corresponding to a descaling alarm is initialized; the current water hardness is detected and acquired, and the corresponding limescale generation speed is acquired; the limescale generationtime of the water with the current hardness is acquired; the mass of new limescale generated by the water with the current hardness is calculated; the calculated new limescale mass is accumulated to the history limescale mass to form the current limescale mass, and the current limescale mass is used as the new history limescale mass for storage; whether or not the current limescale mass reaches the alarm limescale mass is judged, and if yes, descaling reminding and a descaling response are conducted. According to the limescale monitoring method, even the situation occurs that when the water quality is replaced, the hardness of the water is changed, the real-time limescale generation amount can be accurately calculated, and an alarm is given in time. The invention further relates to an electric steam box applying the limescale monitoring method. The use convenience is improved, and the user experience is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for monitoring scale in electrical appliances, and also relates to an electric steamer applying the method for monitoring scale. Background technique [0002] During the long-term use of household appliances such as electric steamers, water needs to be heated. Scale is easy to accumulate on the internal heating components and steam generators, which will affect the heating efficiency, increase energy consumption, and even cause waterway blockage. affect the normal use of the product. Current electric appliances all prompt the user to clean up after using the set time. However, the water quality in different regions is quite different, and the time to form scale of the same quality also varies greatly. Only by setting the time to remind the descaling, for areas with high water quality, there will be too much scale. For areas with better water quality, there will be a waste of descaling agent due to too little scale. ...

Problems solved by technology

However, in this process, the time period of scaling is calculated and obtained based on fixed water quality signals. For products with frequent water changes, the water quality often changes due to water supply during use, and it is impossible to accurately obtain scaling reminder information.
