Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of speed testing of a spray arm of a dishwasher, in particular to a spray arm speed testing system and a testing method of the spray arm of a dishwasher. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards gradually improve and the pace of life continues to accelerate, more and more families have chosen to buy dishwashers. With the development of the electrification of housework and the gradual increase in the living area of ​​urban families, my country's dishwasher market has great development potential. According to surveys, there are 160 million urban households in my country. Even if only 1% of households buy dishwashers each year, the annual market demand is more than one million units. According to relevant surveys of the top ten cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, and Hangzhou, the national dishwasher market capacity is about 7 million units. Research and analysis by the China Light Industry Information Center shows that dishwashers may become the fastest growing product among my country's household appliances in recent years.

[0003] Most dishwashers use a universal spray type. Driven by a washing pump, the spray arm mixes hot water and detergent to rotate at high speed, and at the same time sprays out a high-temperature and high-pressure water column to directly flush the surface of the tableware. Some detergent is sprayed onto the tableware and the inner wall and then rebounds, and the tableware is rinsed twice. After the spray, the refluxed detergent flushes the surface of the tableware. The final washing effect is related to the pressure of the jet water sprayed from the spray arm, the spray angle and the rotation speed. At present, the speed inspection of the spray arm of the dishwasher mainly relies on the sampling method. By opening the door or making a transparent special water retaining door for inspection after opening the door, the inspector relies on visual inspection after starting the dishwasher, and the speed of the spray arm is realized by counting the spray arm operation process. This detection method has inaccurate data, low work efficiency and high labor cost. In addition, in a humid, water-spraying and hot water-filled enclosed space, it is difficult to measure the speed of the internal components of the dishwasher or other internal variable parameters without destroying the sealing and structure of the product itself.
