Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of kitchen appliance control technology, and in particular to a water softener, a salt amount synchronization method and device, a dishwasher, and a readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, people's pursuit of quality of life is getting higher and higher. Dishwashers, as a kitchen appliance that frees people from manual dishwashing, are receiving more and more attention. Conventional dishwashers include a water softener with a salt chamber that electrolyzes salt water to disinfect tableware. However, current water softeners set a fixed number of times after each time the user adds salt, for example, 6 times. Even if the amount of salt added is insufficient, the number of times is still set to 6. Or, in other situations, such as adding salt midway, the number of times is still set to 6. This results in a mismatch between the actual salt value and the used value. As a result, there is no reminder to add salt after the salt is used up, or a salt shortage reminder is issued even if there is enough salt, causing great trouble for users. Summary of the Invention

[0026] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Typical dishwashers include a water softener with a salt chamber that electrolyzes salt water to disinfect dishes. However, current water softeners set a fixed number of uses, such as six, each time the user adds salt. This number is reset even if the added salt is insufficient, or even if salt is added midway. This results in a mismatch between the actual salt level and the used value, leading to no reminder to add salt even when the salt is exhausted, or a low-salt reminder even when there's enough salt, causing significant user inconvenience.

[0028] Based on this, this technical solution sets a switch on the cover corresponding to the salt chamber, and uses the state of the switch in conjunction with the display device to remind the user to set the amount of salt in the salt chamber, that is, to force the user to set the salt amount so that the salt amount recorded by the system is synchronized with the current actual salt amount.

[0029] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an embodiment of a water softener, such as Figure 1 As shown, the water softener includes a housing 11, a switch 12, and a display device 13. The housing 11 is provided with a salt chamber 111 and a cover 112 that cooperates with the salt chamber 111. The switch 12 includes a first pole 121 and a second pole 122. The first pole 121 of the switch 12 is provided on the cover 112, and the second pole 122 of the switch 12 is provided on the housing 11, for opening or closing the cover 112 and the salt chamber 111. The display device 13 is provided on the housing 11 and is in communication with the switch 12, for prompting users to add salt and / or set the salt level.

[0030] Specifically, if the water softener is in normal working condition, when the water softener detects that the cover 112 above the salt chamber 111 is opened, the water softener stops running, and its display device 13 jumps from the normal operation interface to the salt amount setting interface, reminding the user to set the current salt amount in the salt chamber after adding salt, for example, the number of times the current salt amount can be used. If the salt in the water softener is used up, the display device 13 will display a salt adding reminder. When it detects that the cover 112 above the salt chamber 111 is opened, the water softener stops running, and its display device 13 jumps from the salt adding reminder interface to the salt amount setting interface, allowing the user to set the current salt amount in the salt chamber after adding salt.

[0031] The display device 13 may be a touch screen display, and the user may input salt amount setting information into the display device 13 through the touch screen; the display device 13 may include a display screen and buttons, and the corresponding information may be input through the buttons according to the prompts on the display screen. No specific limitation is made here, and those skilled in the art may determine it according to actual needs.

[0032] The water softener provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing, a switch, and a display device, wherein a salt chamber and a cover body that cooperates with the salt chamber are provided on the housing; the switch includes a first pole and a second pole, wherein the first pole is provided on the cover body, and the second pole is provided on the housing body, and is used to open or close the cover body and the salt chamber; the display device is provided on the housing body and is communicatively connected to the switch, and is used to remind the user to add salt and / or set the salt amount. By opening and closing the switch, the user is reminded to set the salt amount in the salt chamber, so that the salt amount recorded by the system is synchronized with the actual salt amount, avoiding the problem that the salt amount recorded by the system does not match the actual salt amount, resulting in no reminder to add salt after the salt is used up, or a salt shortage reminder is issued even if there is enough salt, thereby improving the user experience.

[0033] Optionally, the switch 12 can be a magnetic switch, one pole of the magnetic switch is set on the cover 112, and the other pole is set on the shell 11. The two poles of the magnetic switch are connected using the principle that like poles attract and opposite poles repel. This is not only convenient to use, but also can largely avoid electrical connection failures of the switch.

[0034] Alternatively, as Figure 2As shown, the water softener may further include a detection device 14 and a controller 15. The detection device 14 is disposed within the housing 11 and is configured to detect the amount of salt in the salt chamber 111. The controller 15 is disposed on the housing 11 and is in communication with the switch 12, the display device 13, and the detection device 14. Specifically, the detection device 14 may be a weight sensor that determines the amount of salt in the salt chamber; or it may be a camera that identifies the salt level within the salt chamber. Scale lines may be provided for different salt levels, and the salt level can be determined by identifying the scale lines on the salt chamber. The salt level can then be determined by combining the relationship between the salt level and the salt level. Of course, the detection device 14 may also be other devices, as long as they can detect the amount of salt in the salt chamber. This is not a specific limitation in this application.

[0035] The water softener provided by the embodiment of the present invention determines the opening and closing state between the cover and the salt chamber by identifying the switching action of the switch 12 through the controller, and detects the current salt amount in the salt chamber in combination with the detection device 14 to determine the current salt amount in the salt chamber, so as to ensure that the salt amount recorded by the system and the actual salt amount can be synchronized, thereby avoiding the problem that the salt amount recorded by the system and the actual salt amount do not match, resulting in no salt adding prompt after the salt is used up, or a salt shortage reminder is still issued when there is enough salt.

[0036] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a salt amount synchronization method is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0037] In this embodiment, a salt synchronization method is provided, which can be used in the above-mentioned water softener. Figure 3 is a flow chart of a salt amount synchronization method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0038] S21, when the cover is opened, the salt amount setting interface is used as the display interface of the display device.

[0039] A switch is provided between the salt chamber lid and the chamber itself, and is communicatively connected to the display device. When the display device senses the salt chamber lid is open, it can switch its current display page to the salt amount setting interface, which becomes the display interface of the display device. For example, if salt is being added midway, the display device's current display interface is the operation interface. In this case, the display device needs to switch from the operation interface to the salt amount setting interface, and use the salt amount setting interface as the display interface of the display device.

[0040] S22, determining whether the display device receives salt amount setting information.

[0041] The salt level setting information is user-entered information corresponding to the amount of salt in the salt chamber. The display device can respond to the user-entered salt level setting information. When the lid is open and before the lid is closed, the display device can detect in real time whether it has received the salt level setting information. If the display device receives the salt level setting information, step S23 is executed; otherwise, the water softener stops operating.

[0042] S23, switching the display interface of the display device to the operation interface.

[0043] When the cover is closed and the salt amount setting information is received before the cover is closed, it means that the user has set the salt amount setting information and the water softener can resume operation. At this time, the display page of the display device jumps from the salt amount setting page to the operation interface.

[0044] The salt amount synchronization method provided by the embodiment of the present invention uses the salt amount setting interface as the display interface of the display device when the lid is open; determines whether the display device has received the salt amount setting information; and when the lid is closed and the salt amount setting information is received before the lid is closed, jumps the display interface of the display device to the operation interface. The opening and closing of the lid reminds the user to set the salt amount in the salt chamber, so as to synchronize the salt amount recorded by the system with the actual salt amount, avoid the problem of the salt amount recorded by the system not matching the actual salt amount, resulting in no salt refill prompt after the salt is used up, or a salt shortage reminder when there is enough salt, thereby improving the user experience.

[0045] In this embodiment, a salt synchronization method is provided, which can be used in the above-mentioned water softener. Figure 4 is a flow chart of a salt amount synchronization method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0046] S31, when the cover is opened, the salt amount setting interface is used as the display interface of the display device. Detailed descriptions refer to the corresponding step S21 of the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0047] S32, determining whether the display device has received the salt amount setting information. Detailed descriptions refer to the corresponding step S22 of the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0048] S33, judging whether the salt amount setting information is correct.

[0049] If the salt level setting information is received before the lid is closed and the user has already set the salt level setting information, the water softener can resume normal operation only if the salt level setting information is correct. Therefore, after receiving the salt level setting information, it is necessary to determine whether the salt level setting information is correct. If the salt level setting information is correct, step S34 is executed; otherwise, step S35 is executed.

[0050] Specifically, the above step S33 may include the following steps:

[0051] S331, controlling the detection device to detect the amount of salt in the salt chamber to obtain the actual amount of salt in the salt chamber.

[0052] After the user has added salt to the salt chamber, the water softener can control the detection device to detect the current salt level in the salt chamber to determine the actual salt level in the salt chamber. A detailed description of the detection device is provided in the corresponding description of the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0053] S332: Determine the remaining salt amount on the display interface of the display device according to the salt amount setting information.

[0054] The remaining salt amount is the amount of salt in the current salt chamber. The amount of salt added by the user can be determined based on the salt amount setting information, and the display device can add the amount of salt added before and the amount of salt added by the user to determine the remaining salt amount on the display interface of the display device.

[0055] S333, determining whether the actual amount of salt is the same as the remaining amount of salt.

[0056] The actual amount of salt is compared with the remaining amount of salt to determine whether the actual amount of salt is the same as the remaining amount of salt. If the actual amount of salt is the same as the remaining amount of salt, step S334 is executed. Otherwise, it is determined that the salt amount setting information is incorrect and a reset prompt message is issued.

[0057] S334: When the actual salt amount is the same as the remaining salt amount, it is determined that the salt amount setting information is correct.

[0058] When the actual salt amount is the same as the remaining salt amount, it means that the salt amount recorded by the system is consistent with the actual salt amount. At this time, it can be determined that the salt amount setting information is correct, and the water softener can resume normal operation until the next time the cover is opened or the salt refill reminder is issued, then it stops running and synchronizes the salt amount in the salt chamber.

[0059] S34, switching the display interface of the display device to the operation interface.

[0060] When the salt setting information is correct, it means that the water softener can resume normal operation. At this time, the display interface of the display device jumps from the salt setting interface to the operation interface, so as to obtain the operating status of the water softener and the remaining salt amount in real time.

[0061] S35, issuing a prompt message for resetting the salt amount.

[0062] When the salt level setting information is incorrect, the salt level recorded by the system is out of sync with the actual salt level in the salt chamber. This can easily lead to problems such as no reminder to add salt after the salt is used up, or a salt shortage reminder being issued even when the salt is sufficient. Therefore, the salt level needs to be reset. In this case, the water softener will still be in the stopped state and a message to reset the salt level will be displayed on the display device, prompting the user to reset the salt level to ensure that the salt level recorded by the system is synchronized with the actual salt level.

[0063] The salt amount synchronization method provided by the embodiment of the present invention determines whether the salt amount setting information is correct before the display interface of the display device jumps to the operation interface. When the salt amount setting information is correct, the display interface of the display device jumps to the operation interface, thereby realizing the synchronization of the salt amount recorded by the system and the actual salt amount; when the salt amount setting information is incorrect, a prompt message for resetting the salt amount is issued, so that the user can re-set the salt amount, thereby avoiding the problem that the salt amount recorded by the system does not match the actual salt amount, resulting in no salt adding prompt after the salt is used up, or a salt shortage reminder is issued even if there is enough salt.
