[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a flowchart of the implementation of a calibration method for a water distribution valve provided by an embodiment of this application. In the embodiment of this application, the execution subject of the calibration method for the water distribution valve is a washing device. Among them, the washing device can be a dishwasher.

[0056] As Figure 1 shown, the calibration method for the water distribution valve provided by an embodiment of this application may include S101 to S104, which are described in detail as follows:

[0057] In S101, start the water distribution valve and determine the current rotation period of the water distribution valve.

[0058] In the embodiments of the present application, before the user wants to use the washing device, a first preset operation for the water distribution valve in the washing device can be triggered first. The first preset operation can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here. Exemplarily, the first preset operation can be clicking a first preset control. That is, if the washing device detects that the user clicks the first preset control on the washing device, it is considered that the first preset operation for the washing device is detected. Of course, the first preset operation can also be a time-triggered operation. When the washing device is running, a corresponding washing process can be configured, and the washing process includes trigger nodes for multiple key events. The above key events include the calibration event of the water distribution valve. In this case, if the washing device detects that it reaches the trigger node associated with the calibration event of the water distribution valve, it performs the operations of S101 to S104 to perform the calibration operation on the water distribution valve in the washing device.

[0059] After the washing device detects the above first preset operation, it can start the water distribution valve and determine the current rotation period of the water distribution valve. The current rotation period refers to the time required for the water distribution valve to rotate one week after it is started.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present application, the washing device can specifically determine the current rotation period of the water distribution valve through S201 to S202 as shown below, which is described in detail as follows: Figure 2 as follows:

[0061] In S201, start the water distribution valve and record the first moment when the flap of the water distribution valve reaches the preset position and the second moment when it passes the preset position again after rotating one week.

[0062] In S202, calculate the current rotation period according to the first moment and the second moment.

[0063] It should be noted that the water distribution valve includes a flap and a reset key. Therefore, by way of example and not limitation, the preset position can be the position where the reset key is located.

[0064] Based on this, when the flap of the water distribution valve reaches the position of the reset key, it will press the reset key. At this time, the washing device can record the moment when the water distribution valve presses the reset key as the first moment, and record the moment when the flap of the water distribution valve presses the reset key again after rotating one week as the second moment.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, the washing device can specifically calculate the current rotation period of the water distribution valve according to the following formula:

[0066] T = t2 - t1;

[0067] where T represents the current rotation period of the water distribution valve, t1 represents the first moment, and t2 represents the second moment.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, after the washing device determines the current rotation period of the water distribution valve, it can detect whether the current rotation period meets the preset rotation duration calculation condition.

[0069] In some possible embodiments, since the water distribution valve is rotated by a synchronous motor, and the rotation period of the existing synchronous motor is usually an integer, therefore, the rotation period of the water distribution valve is also an integer. Based on this, the preset rotation duration calculation condition may be: determining whether the current rotation period of the water distribution valve is an integer.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present application, when the washing device detects that the current rotation period of the water distribution valve does not meet the preset rotation duration calculation condition, it can execute steps S301 - S302 as Figure 3 shown.

[0071] In another embodiment of the present application, when the washing device detects that the current rotation period of the water distribution valve meets the preset rotation duration calculation condition, it can execute steps S102 - S104.

[0072] In S102, if the current rotation period meets the preset rotation duration calculation condition, the reference rotation duration of the water distribution valve is calculated according to the current rotation period and the total number of state parameter values of the water distribution valve; each state parameter value corresponds to a water outlet state of the water distribution valve; when the water distribution valve is in any of the water outlet states, at least one water outlet is conducted; the reference rotation duration is used to describe the required duration for the water distribution valve to rotate a reference angle; the reference angle refers to the rotation angle between any two adjacent water outlet states.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present application, when the washing device detects that the current rotation period of the water distribution valve meets the preset rotation duration calculation condition, it indicates that the washing device can calculate the reference rotation duration of the water distribution valve according to the current rotation period of the water distribution valve. Therefore, the washing device can calculate the reference rotation duration of the water distribution valve according to the current rotation period and the total number of state parameter values of the water distribution valve. Among them, each state parameter value corresponds to a water outlet state of the water distribution valve, and when the water distribution valve is in any water outlet state, at least one water outlet is conducted. The reference rotation duration is used to describe the required duration for the water distribution valve to rotate a reference angle, and the reference angle refers to the rotation angle between any two adjacent water outlet states.

[0074] The following will be described by taking the water distribution valve corresponding to three water outlets as an example.

[0075] Exemplarily, it is assumed that the water outlet corresponding to the water dividing valve includes: a first water outlet, a second water outlet, and a third water outlet. Then, the water outlet states of the water dividing valve can include a first state, a second state, a third state, a fourth state, a fifth state, and a sixth state. Among them, when the water dividing valve is in the first state, the first water outlet can be conducted; when the water dividing valve is in the second state, the first water outlet and the second water outlet can be conducted; when the water dividing valve is in the third state, the second water outlet can be conducted; when the water dividing valve is in the fourth state, the second water outlet and the third water outlet can be conducted; when the water dividing valve is in the fifth state, the third water outlet can be conducted; when the water dividing valve is in the sixth state, the first water outlet and the third water outlet can be conducted.

[0076] Based on this, the state parameter values of the water dividing valve can include a first parameter value, a second parameter value, a third parameter value, a fourth parameter value, a fifth parameter value, and a sixth parameter value. The washing device can set the water outlet state corresponding to the first parameter value as the first state, that is to say, the water outlet corresponding to the first parameter value is the first water outlet; the washing device can set the water outlet state corresponding to the second parameter value as the second state, that is to say, the water outlets corresponding to the second parameter value are the first water outlet and the second water outlet; the washing device can set the water outlet state corresponding to the third parameter value as the third state, that is to say, the water outlet corresponding to the third parameter value is the second water outlet; the washing device can set the water outlet state corresponding to the fourth parameter value as the fourth state, that is to say, the water outlets corresponding to the fourth parameter value are the second water outlet and the third water outlet; the washing device can set the water outlet state corresponding to the fifth parameter value as the fifth state, that is to say, the water outlet corresponding to the fifth parameter value is the third water outlet; the washing device can set the water outlet state corresponding to the sixth parameter value as the sixth state, that is to say, the water outlets corresponding to the fourth parameter value are the first water outlet and the third water outlet.

[0077] In one implementation manner of this embodiment, the state parameter values of the water dividing valve can be represented by numbers. For example, the number 1 represents the first parameter value, the number 2 represents the second parameter value, the number 3 represents the third parameter value, the number 4 represents the fourth parameter value, the number 5 represents the fifth parameter value, and the number 6 represents the sixth parameter value.

[0078] Since the rotation angle of the water dividing valve for one full rotation is 360 degrees and the water outlet states of the water dividing valve include six states, the reference angle of the water dividing valve can be 60 degrees.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present application, after the washing device calculates the reference rotation duration of the water dividing valve, it can detect whether the reference rotation duration meets the preset standard duration condition.

[0080] In some possible embodiments, the preset standard duration condition can be: determining whether the reference rotation duration of the water dividing valve is an integer.

[0081] In an embodiment of the present application, when the washing device detects that the reference rotation duration of the water distribution valve meets the preset standard duration condition, it indicates that there is no error in the water distribution valve, that is, the water distribution valve does not need to be calibrated. Therefore, when using the water distribution valve, the washing device can first rotate the flap of the water distribution valve to the standard position and control the rotation of the water distribution valve according to the reference rotation duration. Among them, the standard position can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here. Exemplarily, in order to facilitate subsequent control of the water distribution valve to rotate to the target water outlet according to the reference rotation duration, the washing device can determine the standard position as the position where the reset button in the water distribution valve is located.

[0082] In another embodiment of the present application, when the washing device detects that the reference rotation duration of the water distribution valve does not meet the preset standard duration condition, steps S103 to S104 can be executed.

[0083] In S103, if it is detected that the reference rotation duration does not meet the preset standard duration condition, the reference rotation duration is updated according to the current rotation period and the rotation error value.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, when the washing device detects that the reference rotation duration of the water distribution valve does not meet the preset standard duration condition, it indicates that the calculated reference rotation duration of the water distribution valve is inaccurate, that is, there is an error in the reference rotation duration. Therefore, the washing device can update the reference rotation duration according to the current rotation period and the rotation error value of the water distribution valve.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present application, the reference rotation duration update formula is specifically:

[0086]

[0087] Among them, T0 represents the updated reference rotation duration, T represents the current rotation period of the water distribution valve, s represents the rotation error value, and N represents the total number of state parameter values of the water distribution valve.

[0088] In S104, in response to the rotation instruction, the flap of the water distribution valve is rotated to the standard position, and the rotation of the water distribution valve is controlled according to the updated reference rotation duration.

[0089] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to improve the rotation accuracy and rotation efficiency of the water distribution valve, and at the same time avoid the water distribution valve rotating when it is in the wrong position, which may cause the water distribution valve to be unable to rotate to the target water outlet, when the washing device detects the rotation instruction, it can first rotate the flap of the water distribution valve to the standard position, and then control the rotation of the water distribution valve according to the updated reference rotation duration.

[0090] In an embodiment of the present application, the washing device can pass through such as Figure 4S401 to S404 as shown control the water distribution valve to rotate, which is described in detail as follows:

[0091] In S401, in response to a rotation instruction, the target water outlet corresponding to the water distribution valve is determined.

[0092] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the rotation instruction carries the target water outlet corresponding to the water distribution valve after rotation. Therefore, the washing device can extract the target water outlet corresponding to the water distribution valve from the rotation instruction. Among them, the target water outlet can be one water outlet or multiple water outlets.

[0093] In S402, according to the target water outlet and the corresponding relationship between different water outlets and state parameter values stored in advance, the target state parameter value corresponding to the target water outlet is determined.

[0094] In S403, after detecting that the flap of the water distribution valve rotates to the standard position, according to the target state parameter value and the updated reference rotation duration, the target rotation duration for the water distribution valve to rotate to the target water outlet is determined.

[0095] In S404, control the water distribution valve to rotate until the current rotation duration reaches the target rotation duration.

[0096] In an embodiment of the present application, the target rotation duration can be calculated according to the following formula:

[0097]

[0098] Where, T D represents the target rotation duration, T0 represents the updated reference rotation duration, H represents the target state parameter value, and A represents the parameter factor.

[0099] Exemplarily, in combination with S102, the state parameter values of the water distribution valve include six parameter values, and the state parameter values of the water distribution valve can be represented by numbers. For example, the number 1 represents the first parameter value, the number 2 represents the second parameter value, the number 3 represents the third parameter value, the number 4 represents the fourth parameter value, the number 5 represents the fifth parameter value, and the number 6 represents the sixth parameter value. At this time, the parameter factor A = 1. Assuming that the target state parameter value is 3, it means that the target state parameter value is the third parameter value, that is, the target water outlet corresponding to the water distribution valve is the second water outlet, and the corresponding water outlet state is the second state. At this time, the target rotation duration of the water distribution valve = 3 * reference rotation duration.

[0100] In this embodiment, after the washing device calculates the target rotation duration of the water diversion valve, it can control the water diversion valve to rotate and record the current rotation duration of the water diversion valve in real time. When the washing device detects that the current rotation duration of the water diversion valve is equal to the target rotation duration, it can stop rotating the water diversion valve. At this time, the water outlet corresponding to the water diversion valve is the target water outlet.

[0101] As can be seen from the above, a calibration method for a water diversion valve provided by an embodiment of the present application starts the water diversion valve and determines the current rotation period of the water diversion valve; if the current rotation period meets the preset rotation duration calculation condition, the reference rotation duration of the water diversion valve is calculated according to the current rotation period and the total number of state parameter values of the water diversion valve; each state parameter value corresponds to a water outlet state of the water diversion valve; when the water diversion valve is in any water outlet state, at least one water outlet is conducted; the reference rotation duration is used to describe the required duration for the water diversion valve to rotate the reference angle; the reference angle refers to the rotation angle between any two adjacent water outlet states; if it is detected that the reference rotation duration does not meet the preset standard duration condition, the reference rotation duration is updated according to the current rotation period and the rotation error value; in response to the rotation instruction, the flap of the water diversion valve is rotated to the standard position, thus avoiding the water diversion valve from rotating at the wrong position, and the water diversion valve is controlled to rotate according to the updated reference rotation duration. The calibration method for the water diversion valve provided by the embodiment of the present application realizes the real-time calibration of the water diversion valve, enables the water diversion valve to accurately rotate to the target water outlet during use, and thus improves the control accuracy of the water diversion valve.

[0102] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is the implementation flowchart of the calibration method for the water diversion valve provided by another embodiment of the present application. Compared with Figure 1 the corresponding embodiment, when the rotation duration calculation condition refers to determining whether the current rotation period is an integer, after S101, the calibration method for the water diversion valve provided by this embodiment may further include S301 to S302, which are described in detail as follows:

[0103] In S301, if the current rotation period is a non-integer, the current rotation period is imported into a preset function to obtain the target rotation period of the water diversion valve.

[0104] In S302, the reference rotation duration is calculated according to the target rotation period and the total number of state parameter values of the water diversion valve.

[0105] In this embodiment,
