Detailed implementation mode

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] Embodiment 1

[0024] Since the amount of tableware placed in the dishwasher is not the same each time when washing dishes, the actual drying duration required is also different. To determine the actual drying duration, the drying duration can be determined according to the difference between the first humidity in the inner cavity of the dishwasher and the second humidity in the external environment of the dishwasher. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain the humidity in the inner cavity of the dishwasher and the humidity in the external environment of the dishwasher respectively.

[0025] The first humidity can be obtained by a humidity sensor in the inner cavity, while the second humidity needs to set a humidity sensor outside the dishwasher or be interconnected with other electrical equipment to obtain the second temperature stored in other electrical equipment.

[0026] When setting a humidity sensor outside the dishwasher, it will not only affect the aesthetics of the dishwasher, but also increase the cost because two sensors need to be set in the dishwasher; when it is necessary to be interconnected with other electrical equipment, once the connection with other electrical equipment is disconnected due to certain reasons, the second humidity cannot be obtained, affecting the normal use of the dishwasher.

[0027] Based on this, Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a dishwasher air inlet assembly. The dishwasher air inlet assembly includes a main air inlet channel, at least one auxiliary air inlet channel and a humidity sensor. The first port in the main air inlet channel is communicated with the external environment, and the second port is communicated with the inner cavity (also called the inner cavity). The third port of the auxiliary air inlet channel is arranged on the side wall of the main air inlet channel, and the fourth port is communicated with the inner cavity, wherein the third port has an open state and a closed state; the humidity sensor is arranged in the main air inlet channel and close to the third port.

[0028] Specifically, in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the auxiliary air inlet channel can be one or multiple. When there is one auxiliary air inlet channel, the humidity sensor is arranged in the main air inlet channel and close to the third port of the auxiliary air inlet channel; when there are multiple auxiliary air inlet channels, multiple humidity sensors can be arranged in the air inlet assembly of the dishwasher, and each humidity sensor is arranged in the main air inlet channel and close to the third port of the corresponding auxiliary air inlet channel, or one humidity sensor can be arranged in the air inlet assembly of the dishwasher, and the humidity sensor is arranged in the main air inlet channel and at the first position, where the distance from the first position to the third ports of all the auxiliary air inlet channels is the smallest. Further, the air inlet assembly of the dishwasher further includes a blower, and the blower is arranged in the main air inlet channel.

[0029] Further, the air inlet assembly of the dishwasher further includes a third-port state driving device, and the third-port state driving device includes a driving motor and a baffle. The baffle has a first position for closing the third port and a second position for opening the third port. The driving motor is connected to the baffle and is used to drive the baffle to be in the first position or the second position.

[0030] Thus, the humidity sensor in the air inlet assembly of the dishwasher can detect the humidity of the air after mixing the main air inlet channel and the auxiliary air inlet channel when the third port is in the open state, and detect the humidity of the air in the main air inlet channel, that is, the humidity of the air in the external environment of the dishwasher, when the third port is in the closed state. Further, it is possible to determine whether the dishwasher needs to be dried according to the humidity of the air in the external environment of the dishwasher and the humidity of the air after mixing the main air inlet channel and the auxiliary air inlet channel, that is, the humidity of the air after mixing the air in the inner tank and the air in the external environment. It can be seen that by using the air inlet assembly of the dishwasher according to the embodiment of the present invention, only one humidity sensor needs to be arranged in the main air inlet channel to obtain the humidity of the air in the external environment of the dishwasher and the humidity of the mixed air at the same time, and determine whether the dishwasher needs to be dried according to the humidity of the air in the external environment of the dishwasher and the humidity of the mixed air, overcoming the problem that the current method for determining the drying duration is not accurate.

[0031] Exemplarily, as Figure 1 shown, a dishwasher with a humidity sensor at least includes components or structures such as a dishwasher inner tank 1, an air inlet assembly 2, a dish basket 3, a spray arm 4, a washing pump 5, a water cup 6, a drainage pump 7, a drainage pipe 8, and a hanging height structure 9.

[0032] The inner tank 1 has an air inlet and an air outlet 10. The air inlet assembly 2 is installed outside the inner tank 1, and a humidity sensor 24, a driving motor 23, a baffle 22, and a blower 26 are arranged in the air inlet assembly 2.

[0033] The air inlet assembly 2 is provided with an air inlet channel, including at least two air inlet channels, one is the main air inlet channel 25, and the other is the auxiliary air inlet channel 21. The fan 26 is arranged on the main air inlet channel 25. When the fan 26 is started, it can blow the outside air into the dishwasher inner tank 1. One end of the main air inlet channel 25 is communicated with the inner tank, and the other end is communicated with the outside air.

[0034] The humidity sensor 24 is arranged at the position where the axes of the main air inlet channel 25 and the auxiliary air inlet channel 21 intersect or near the intersection position of the axes, and can detect the humidity of the air in the main air inlet channel 25, and can also detect the humidity of the air after the auxiliary air inlet channel 21 and the main air inlet channel 25 are mixed.

[0035] The drive motor 23 is arranged on the main air inlet channel 25 and the auxiliary air inlet channel 21, and the baffle 22 is rotatably arranged on the drive motor 23.

[0036] One end of the auxiliary air inlet channel 21 is communicated with the main air inlet channel 25, and the other end is communicated with the dishwasher inner tank.

[0037] Furthermore, Embodiment 1 of the present invention also provides a dishwasher, including the above-mentioned air inlet assembly.

[0038] Embodiment 2

[0039] Based on Embodiment 1 of the present invention, Embodiment 2 of the present invention also provides a control method for a dishwasher. Figure 2 It is a schematic flowchart of the control method for the dishwasher in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. As Figure 2 shown, the control method for the dishwasher in Embodiment 2 of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0040] S101: When the third port is in the closed state, obtain the first detection data of the humidity sensor.

[0041] S102: When the third port is in the open state, obtain the second detection data of the humidity sensor.

[0042] S103: Determine whether the inner tank needs to be dried according to the first detection data and the second detection data.

[0043] Specifically, the determining whether the inner tank needs to be dried according to the first detection data and the second detection data includes: when the absolute value of the difference between the first detection data and the second detection data is less than or equal to a preset threshold, it is determined that the inner tank does not need to be dried; when the absolute value of the difference between the first detection data and the second detection data is greater than the preset threshold, it is determined that the inner tank needs to be dried.

[0044] Further, before obtaining the first detection data of the humidity sensor, it further includes: driving the baffle with the drive motor to make the baffle in the first position; before obtaining the second detection data of the humidity sensor, it further includes: driving the baffle with the drive motor to make the baffle in the second position.

[0045] Furthermore, before obtaining the first detection data of the humidity sensor and / or before obtaining the second detection data of the humidity sensor, it further includes: turning on the blower.

[0046] Specifically, in combination with Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , when the dishwasher enters the tableware storage program, the main control board issues a request to call or detect the humidity inside and outside the dishwasher cavity: The blower 26 starts first for T1 seconds, the drive motor 23 is turned off, and the baffle 22 is in the initial position state ① to block the air inlet of the auxiliary air inlet passage 21, so that the gas in the air inner cavity cannot flow into the main air inlet passage 25. At this time, the air humidity detected by the humidity sensor 24 is the air humidity of the external environment, and the air humidity value is recorded as X1 and fed back to the main control board.

[0047] When the blower 26 starts up to T2 seconds (T1 < T2), the drive motor 23 starts for T3 seconds, and the position of the baffle 22 is in state ②. The auxiliary air inlet passage 21 forms a negative pressure under the drive of the air in the main air inlet passage 25, and the air in the auxiliary air inlet passage 21 is brought into the main air inlet passage 25 and forms a mixed gas with the air in the main air inlet passage 25. The mixed gas passes through the humidity sensor 24, and the humidity sensor 24 records the mixed air humidity value X2 and feeds it back to the main control board.

[0048] It is set that when 0 ≤ |X1 - X2| ≤ 1, the air humidity inside the dishwasher cavity is the same as the external air humidity; when |X1 - X2| > 1, the air humidity inside the dishwasher cavity is greater than the external air humidity.

[0049] The main control board compares the humidity values X1 and X2. If 0 ≤ |X1 - X2| ≤ 1, the blower 26 is turned off and the drive motor 23 is turned off. At this time, the dishwasher does not start the drying operation; if |X1 - X2| > 1, the blower 26 starts and the drive motor 23 starts, and continues to blow air into the inner cavity to dry the tableware until the air humidity inside the dishwasher cavity is the same as the external air humidity before stopping blowing air, otherwise the above actions are continued.

[0050] It can be seen that in the control method of the dishwasher provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention, the humidity sensor in the air intake assembly can detect the humidity of the air after mixing in the main air intake passage and the auxiliary air intake passage when the third port is in the open state, and detect the humidity of the air in the main air intake passage, that is, the ambient air humidity outside the inner tank, when the third port is in the closed state. Thus, it can be determined whether the dishwasher needs to be dried based on the ambient air humidity outside the inner tank and the humidity of the air after mixing in the main air intake passage and the auxiliary air intake passage. It can be seen that in the control method of the dishwasher in Embodiment 2 of the present invention, only one humidity sensor needs to be set to complete the detection of multiple humidities, which can reduce the cost of the dishwasher.

[0051] Embodiment 3

[0052] Corresponding to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, Embodiment 3 of the present invention also provides a drying control device for a dishwasher.

[0053] Specifically, when the third port is in the closed state, the acquisition module 20 is configured to acquire the first detection data of the humidity sensor;

[0054] When the third port is in the open state, the acquisition module 20 is configured to acquire the second detection data of the humidity sensor;

[0055] The processing module 21 is configured to determine whether the inner tank needs to be dried according to the first detection data and the second detection data.

[0056] Furthermore, before acquiring the first detection data of the humidity sensor, the processing module 21 is further configured to: drive the baffle with the drive motor to make the baffle in the first position; before acquiring the second detection data of the humidity sensor, the processing module 21 is further configured to: drive the baffle with the drive motor to make the baffle in the second position.

[0057] Even further, before acquiring the first detection data of the humidity sensor and / or before acquiring the second detection data of the humidity sensor, the processing module 21 is further configured to: turn on the blower.
