[0004] Compared with the traditional hand-washing method, the dishwasher needs to be powered on before the dishes can be washed. During the operation of the dishwasher, if there is a leakage, it is difficult to discover and repair it in the first time, and there is a possibility of wasting electric energy. Therefore, in view of the shortcomings in the relevant technology, the inventor proposed a dishwasher with real-time detection of power consumption and water consumption. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is a dishwasher with real-time detection of power and water consumption.

[0006] The present application provides a dishwasher with real-time detection of power consumption and water consumption, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A dishwasher with real-time detection of power consumption and water consumption comprises a dishwasher housing, a tableware rack is arranged in the dishwasher housing, a power consumption detection module is arranged on the dishwasher housing, a display screen is arranged on the dishwasher housing, and the power consumption detection module is coupled to the display screen.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the dishwasher in the present application is in use, the power consumption of the dishwasher can be detected in real time through the power consumption detection device, and the power consumption can be transmitted to the user through the display screen, so that the user can understand the real-time power consumption of the dishwasher, thereby reducing the possibility of wasting electricity due to leakage of the dishwasher.

[0009] Optionally, the power consumption detection module includes a current detection unit, a voltage detection unit, a digital-to-analog conversion unit and a processing unit;

[0010] The current detection unit is used to obtain the current value when the dishwasher is working and output a current signal;

[0013] The processing unit is coupled to the digital-to-analog conversion unit and the display screen, and is used for receiving digital signals, processing the digital signals, and then sending them to the display screen for display.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the dishwasher in the present application is in use, the power consumption detection module detects the power consumption of the dishwasher, the current measuring unit obtains the current value during operation, the voltage detection unit obtains the voltage value during operation, and the current value and the voltage value are converted into digital signals through the digital-to-analog conversion unit for display on the display screen, thereby facilitating the user to receive the current power consumption information of the system to determine whether the current system is operating normally, and to promptly discover and solve problems when the system leaks electricity, thereby reducing the possibility of wasting electricity and improving the overall safety of the system.

[0015] Optional, including comparison module and alarm module

[0016] The comparison module is coupled to the processing unit and is used to obtain the processed digital signal and compare the processed digital signal with a preset power consumption threshold;

[0017] The comparison module is coupled to the alarm module. When the processed digital signal is greater than the preset power consumption threshold, the comparison module outputs an alarm signal to the alarm module for alarm. When the processed digital signal is less than the preset power consumption threshold, the comparison module does not output an alarm signal.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the dishwasher in the present application is in use, the current power consumption value can be obtained through the comparison module, and the current power consumption level can be compared and judged by setting the power consumption threshold. If the current power consumption level and the processed digital signal are higher than the preset power threshold, the comparison module outputs an alarm signal. At this time, the alarm signal sends an alarm to remind the user to check the system, further reducing the problem that the system leakage cannot be discovered and repaired in time.

[0019] Optionally, a wireless interaction module is included;

[0020] The wireless interaction module is coupled to an external power supply, a processing unit and a comparison module; the wireless interaction module obtains the comparison result between the digital signal processed by the processing unit and the processed data signal and the power consumption threshold, and sends it to the user in real time through a mobile smart device, and can cut off the external power supply according to the user's operation.

[0021] By adopting the above technology, when the user is using the dishwasher in the present application, even if the user is not near the dishwasher when the dishwasher is turned on, the wireless interaction module can send the digital signal processed by the receiving processing unit and the comparison result of the processed data signal with the power consumption threshold to the user. When the user learns through the wireless interaction module that the value of the processed data signal is much greater than the power consumption threshold, it means that the dishwasher has a fault such as leakage. Therefore, the user can cut off the external power supply through the wireless interaction module to protect the dishwasher, thereby improving the overall safety of the system.

[0022] Optionally, the mobile smart device is a smart phone, a tablet computer, etc.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, when the dishwasher in this application needs to interact with the user through the wireless interaction module, the user can use mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets to interact with the information transmitted by the wireless interaction module, so that the power consumption of the dishwasher can be remotely monitored more conveniently, which improves the convenience of the user and further improves the security of the system.
