[0022] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the process of an embodiment of the control method for turning on the storage function of the dishwasher in the present application; Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of a sub - process of an embodiment of the control method for turning on the storage function of the dishwasher in the present application; Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of another sub - process of an embodiment of the control method for turning on the storage function of the dishwasher in the present application.

[0024] An embodiment of the present application provides a control method for turning on the storage function of a dishwasher, including the following steps:

[0025] S11: In response to the current time being within a preset opening period, where the preset opening period is a period of a predetermined time before the common period of the dishwasher.

[0026] Detect the current time. In response to the current time being within a preset opening period, where the preset opening period is a period of a predetermined time before the common period of the dishwasher.

[0027] It can be understood that the common period of the dishwasher is the period when the user often needs to take out the tableware and cookware stored in the dishwasher after washing. Among them, the predetermined time is the time required for the storage function of the dishwasher to reach the predetermined storage effect from being turned on, and the predetermined storage effect is the moment when the storage effect of the dishwasher is the best. Therefore, the predetermined time is the time required for the storage function of the dishwasher to reach the best storage effect from being turned on. The specific length of the predetermined time can be adjusted according to the actual situation of the dishwasher and the storage needs of the user.

[0028] Therefore, the preset opening period is a period of a predetermined time before the common period of the dishwasher. By turning on the storage function of the dishwasher during the preset opening period, after the predetermined time, during the common period of the dishwasher, the dishwasher can reach the best storage effect.

[0029] Before the preset opening period in response to the current time, it is also necessary to calculate the common usage periods of the dishwasher, including multiple methods, and two methods are used as examples to illustrate:

[0030] In one embodiment, taking one day as a unit, the common usage periods of each day are counted:

[0031] S111: Count the usage frequencies of the dishwasher at each time period of each day within a preset cycle.

[0032] In one embodiment, the usage frequency of the dishwasher includes the effective number of times the dishwasher door is opened and closed within each time period. Specifically, the effective number of times the dishwasher door is opened and closed includes the number of times the time interval between the opening and closing of the dishwasher door is greater than a predetermined interval.

[0033] Thereby, the abnormal operation data of the user accidentally opening and closing the dishwasher is screened out, and the effective number of times the dishwasher door is opened and closed is retained. The effective number of times the time interval between the opening and closing of the dishwasher door is greater than the predetermined interval within each time period of each day within the preset cycle is counted as the usage frequency of the dishwasher at each time period. This improves the accuracy of the common usage periods of the dishwasher, reduces the situation where the user does not need to use the dishwasher after the storage function is turned on while meeting the user's usage needs, reduces energy consumption, and improves user satisfaction.

[0034] Count the usage frequencies of the dishwasher at each time period of each day within a preset cycle, that is, count the sum of the effective number of times the dishwasher door is opened and closed at the same time period of each day within the preset cycle.

[0035] Specifically, the preset cycle can be 7 days, 15 days, 30 days, etc.; the statistical time period can be 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, etc. as one time period, and there is no limitation here.

[0036] S112: Use the time periods with usage frequencies higher than the predetermined frequency as the common usage periods.

[0037] The predetermined frequency can be set to 1 time, 2 times, 3 times, etc., and even the predetermined frequency can be set to 0 times, that is, as long as the dishwasher is used within each time period of each day, it can be used as the common usage period. The specific predetermined frequency can be adjusted according to the user's needs, and there is no limitation here.

[0038] Use the time periods with usage frequencies higher than the predetermined frequency as the common usage periods. When the user uses the dishwasher, the storage function is turned on in advance. While ensuring the storage effect, a reasonable number of storage times is set to reduce energy consumption. And because the storage function is regularly turned on during the preset opening period in the embodiments of the present application, when the user uses the tableware in the dishwasher during the non-common usage periods, even if the best storage effect is not achieved, a certain degree of storage effect can still be achieved, and the inside of the dishwasher remains relatively dry, the air is fresh, and the tableware is clean and safe.

[0039] In order to ensure that the statistics of the user's dishwasher frequently used time periods are complete, in some embodiments, the control method further includes:

[0040] S113: Counting the usage frequency of the cooking device and / or the range hood at each time period of each day within a preset cycle.

[0041] When a user uses a cooking device and / or a range hood, it means that the user is cooking, which is a high-frequency time for using the dishwasher. The user will use the tableware, pots and pans in the dishwasher during the cooking process and needs to schedule a time in advance to turn on the storage function. Therefore, this is also a common time for users to use the dishwasher.

[0042] Specifically, the cooking device can be a stove, a microwave oven, an electric rice cooker, a pressure cooker, etc.

[0043] The usage frequency of the cooking device and / or the range hood in each time period of each day within a preset cycle is counted. The usage frequency of the cooking device and / or the range hood includes the effective number of times the cooking device and / or the range hood is turned on in each time period. Specifically, the effective number of times the cooking device and / or the range hood is turned on includes: the number of times the cooking device and / or the range hood is turned on for a predetermined time period.

[0044] Thus, the abnormal operation data of the user's mistaken opening and closing of the cooking device and / or the range hood are screened out, the effective number of times the cooking device and / or the range hood is opened is retained, and the effective number of times the cooking device and / or the range hood is opened for a predetermined time in each time period of each day within the preset cycle is counted as the frequency of use of the cooking device and / or the range hood in each time period. The accuracy of the commonly used time periods of the cooking device and / or the range hood is improved, and while meeting the user's use needs, the situation where the user does not need to use the dishwasher after the storage function is turned on is reduced, energy consumption is reduced, and user satisfaction is improved.

[0045] The usage frequency of the cooking device and / or the range hood in each time period of each day within a preset cycle is counted, that is, the sum of the effective times of turning on the cooking device and / or the range hood in the same time period of each day within the preset cycle is counted.

[0046] Specifically, the preset period may be 7 days, 15 days or 30 days, etc.; the statistical period may be 15 minutes, 30 minutes or 1 hour, etc., which is not limited here.

[0047] It should be noted that if there are multiple cooking devices and range hoods, the usage frequency of each device in each time period of each day within the preset period shall be counted separately, rather than calculating their usage frequencies together.

[0048] S114: The time period in which the usage frequency is higher than the predetermined frequency is regarded as the common time period of the dishwasher.

[0049] The preset frequency can be set to 1 time, 2 times, 3 times, etc., and even the preset frequency can be set to 0 times, that is, as long as the dishwasher is used during each period of the day, it can be regarded as a frequently used period. The specific preset frequency can be adjusted according to user needs and is not limited here.

[0050] Take the periods with usage frequencies higher than the preset frequency as the frequently used periods of the dishwasher. When the user uses the dishwasher, turn on the storage function in advance. While ensuring the storage effect, set a reasonable number of storage times to reduce energy consumption.

[0051] In another embodiment, taking one week as a unit, count the frequently used periods of each day from Monday to Sunday:

[0052] S115: Respectively count the usage frequencies of each period of the dishwasher from Monday to Sunday within the preset cycle.

[0053] Since there are differences in the work and rest and dining habits of users on each day from Monday to Sunday, the usage frequencies of each period of the user from Monday to Sunday are counted separately.

[0054] The usage frequency of the dishwasher includes the effective number of times the dishwasher door is opened and closed within each period. Specifically, the effective number of times the dishwasher door is opened and closed includes the number of times the time interval between the opening and closing of the dishwasher door is greater than the preset interval.

[0055] Thus, filter out the abnormal operation data of the user accidentally opening and closing the dishwasher, retain the effective number of times the dishwasher door is opened and closed, and count the effective number of times the time interval between the opening and closing of the dishwasher door is greater than the preset interval within each period of each day from Monday to Sunday within the preset cycle as the usage frequency of the dishwasher in each period of that day. Improve the accuracy of the frequently used periods of the dishwasher, reduce the situation where the user does not need to use the dishwasher after turning on the storage function while meeting the user's usage needs, reduce energy consumption, and improve user satisfaction.

[0056] Count the usage frequencies of each period of the dishwasher from Monday to Sunday within the preset cycle, that is, count the sum of the effective number of times the dishwasher door is opened and closed at the same period of the same day from Monday to Sunday within the preset cycle.

[0057] Specifically, the preset cycle can be 14 days, 21 days, 35 days, etc.; the statistical period is one period every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, etc., and is not limited here.

[0058] S116: Respectively take the periods with usage frequencies higher than the preset frequency as the frequently used periods of each day from Monday to Sunday.

[0059] The preset frequency can be set to 1 time, 2 times, 3 times, etc. Even the preset frequency can be set to 0 times, that is, as long as the dishwasher is used during each period from Monday to Sunday, it can be regarded as a frequently used period. The specific preset frequency can be adjusted according to user needs and is not limited here.

[0060] Since there are differences in the daily work and rest and dining habits of users from Monday to Sunday, the usage frequencies of each period of each day from Monday to Sunday of users are respectively counted, and the periods with usage frequencies higher than the preset frequency are used as the frequently used periods of each day from Monday to Sunday. The accuracy of the frequently used periods of the dishwasher from Monday to Sunday is specifically improved, while meeting the user's usage needs, reducing the situation where the user does not need to use the dishwasher after the storage function is turned on, reducing energy consumption, and improving user satisfaction.

[0061] In order to ensure the complete statistics of the frequently used periods of the user's dishwasher, in some embodiments, the control method further includes:

[0062] S117: Respectively count the usage frequencies of the cooking device and / or the range hood in each period of each day from Monday to Sunday within a preset period.

[0063] Since when the user uses the cooking device and / or the range hood, it indicates that the user is cooking, which is a high-frequency moment for using the dishwasher. The user will use the tableware, cookware, etc. in the dishwasher during the cooking process and needs to preset the time to turn on the storage function in advance. Therefore, this is also a frequently used period for the user to use the dishwasher. Specifically, the cooking device can be a stove, a microwave oven, a rice cooker, a pressure cooker, etc.

[0064] Since there are differences in the daily work and rest and dining habits of users from Monday to Sunday, the usage frequencies of each period of each day from Monday to Sunday of users are respectively counted.

[0065] Count the usage frequencies of the cooking device and / or the range hood in each period of each day from Monday to Sunday within a preset period. The usage frequency of the cooking device and / or the range hood includes the effective number of times the cooking device and / or the range hood is turned on in each period. Specifically, the effective number of times the cooking device and / or the range hood is turned on includes: the number of times the cooking device and / or the range hood is turned on for a preset duration.

[0066] Count the usage frequencies of the cooking device and / or the range hood in each period of each day from Monday to Sunday within a preset period, that is, count the sum of the effective number of times the cooking device and / or the range hood is turned on in the same period of the same day from Monday to Sunday within the preset period.

[0067] Specifically, the preset period can be 14 days, 21 days, 35 days, etc.; the statistical period is one period with 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, etc., and is not limited here.

[0068] It should be noted that if there are multiple cooking devices and range hoods in total, the usage frequency of each device in each time period from Monday to Sunday within a preset cycle is statistically calculated separately, rather than calculating their usage frequency in a combined manner.

[0069] S118: Respectively, take the time periods with a usage frequency higher than the predetermined frequency as the common time periods of the dishwasher every day from Monday to Sunday.

[0070] The predetermined frequency can be set to 1 time, 2 times, 3 times, etc. Even the predetermined frequency can be set to 0 times, that is, as long as the dishwasher is used in each time period from Monday to Sunday every day, it can be used as a common time period. The specific predetermined frequency can be adjusted according to user needs and is not limited here.

[0071] Since there are differences in the work and rest and dining habits of users every day from Monday to Sunday, the usage frequency of users in each time period from Monday to Sunday every day is statistically calculated separately, and the time periods with a usage frequency higher than the predetermined frequency are taken as the common time periods every day from Monday to Sunday. This can specifically improve the accuracy of the common time periods of the dishwasher every day from Monday to Sunday, reduce the situation where the user does not need to use the dishwasher after turning on the storage function while meeting the user's usage needs, reduce energy consumption, and improve user satisfaction.

[0072] It should be noted that the update of the common time period of the dishwasher can include at least two methods:

[0073] One is real-time update, that is, when detecting whether the current time is within the preset opening time period, the method in any of the above corresponding embodiments is used in real time to calculate the common time period within the preset cycle before the current time, so as to update the latest common time period in real time according to the user's recent usage habits, and the common time period is more accurate.

[0074] The other is periodic update, that is, after every preset time period, the method in any of the above corresponding embodiments is used to calculate the common time period of the predetermined cycle before the current preset time period, so as to update and save the latest common time period according to the user's recent usage habits for detecting whether the current time is within the preset opening time period. There is no need for real-time update, saving computing resources and energy consumption.

[0075] Of course, in order to conform to the user's usage habits, the user can also modify the common time period. Therefore, the control method further includes: receiving a modification instruction for the common time period and updating the common time period according to the modification instruction. Updating the common time period according to the modification instruction makes the common time period conform to the user's usage habits and needs, and improves the user experience.

[0076] S12: Control the dishwasher to turn on the storage function.

[0077] When the current time is within a preset opening period, the dishwasher is controlled to automatically turn on the storage function. After a predetermined time, during the common use period of the dishwasher, the dishwasher can achieve the best storage effect, ensuring dryness and fresh air inside the dishwasher. On the one hand, the storage function is turned on regularly according to the user's usage habits, without the need to remain constantly on intermittently, saving energy consumption. On the other hand, the storage function is automatically turned on in advance before the user commonly uses the dishwasher, without the need for the user to manually turn it on in advance, ensuring that a predetermined storage effect is achieved when the user uses the dishwasher, improving the user experience and satisfaction.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 which is a schematic framework diagram of an embodiment of the dishwasher of the present application.

[0079] Another embodiment of the present application includes a dishwasher 20, which includes a storage component 21 and a control device 22. The control device 22 is coupled to the storage component 21 to control the storage component 21 to implement the method in any of the above embodiments. The storage component 21 responds when the current time is within a preset opening period, and the preset opening period is a period of a predetermined time before the common use period of the dishwasher 20; the dishwasher 20 is controlled to turn on the storage function. When the current time of the dishwasher 20 in the embodiment of the present application is within the preset opening period, the storage function is automatically turned on. After a predetermined time, during the common use period of the dishwasher 20, the dishwasher 20 can achieve the best storage effect, ensuring dryness and fresh air inside the dishwasher 20. On the one hand, the storage component 21 is turned on regularly according to the user's usage habits, without the need to remain constantly on intermittently, saving energy consumption. On the other hand, the storage component 21 is automatically turned on in advance before the user commonly uses the dishwasher 20, without the need for the user to manually turn it on in advance, ensuring that a predetermined storage effect is achieved when the user uses the dishwasher 20, improving the user experience and satisfaction.
