[0002] The 21st century is the era of Internet and big data. The emergence and wide use of intelligent robots make data exchange and sharing have an operational platform. Generation after generation of products are promoting society towards intelligence and convenience with the advantages of faster processing, more accurate information and wider coverage. At the same time, the improvement of people's living standards brought about by economic development also makes people's requirements for the quality of life higher and higher, and they pursue more convenient and comfortable life.

[0003] Under such background, intelligent home gradually becomes a social trend. Intelligent robots independently complete a series of tedious and complex household chores, liberating manpower. People only need to enjoy the beauty of life, without being disturbed by household chores, and can devote time to more meaningful things.

[0004] As for dishwashing, which has long been a problem for family life, it occupies the leisure time of modern urban people, which is already scarce. Especially in winter, it is more difficult to clean oil stains at low temperature, and the cold tap water is more resistant. Various dishwashers have thus been born. Sonic dishwashers and high-pressure hot-flow dishwashers have been on the market for many years. However, according to research, the ownership rate of dishwashers in Chinese households is less than 15%. Most families believe that dishwashers are not as clean as hand washing, small dishwashers have a small number of dishes, large dishwashers occupy space, and dishwashers are expensive. Most middle and low-income families have not purchased dishwashers.

[0005] In 2015, the American Black & Decker company launched a handheld dishwasher that uses a rotating brush head to remove oil stains and dirt on dishes. When using it, you only need to put the brush head of the dishwasher against the dishwashing liquid on the dishes. This greatly improves the efficiency of dishwashing, but it requires manual addition of dishwashing liquid and hand-holding of dishes; In 2019, the Japanese Thanko company launched a handheld dishwasher called Kurasa Wash, which designed a cartoon shell and a clamping and rotating mechanism. It does not need to be held by hand, but only needs to be clamped and placed under the water flow to complete the dishwashing work, and it is very popular with children. However, it needs to be held for a long time, which does not meet the needs of ergonomics, but its entertainment has opened up a new road for the dishwasher market.

The stop plate 404 is connected to the third servo motor 410 via the servo disc 409. The stop plate is used to press the reset micro switch on the rear baffle of the cleaning frame to realize the positioning emergency stop of the dish cleaning mechanism. The cleaning operation uses a stop plate 404 controlled by the third servo motor 410 to trigger the reset micro switch to realize the positioning emergency stop. Then the stop plate 404 flips upward to avoid interfering with the translation of the dish cleaning mechanism 2 to the next working position.

The propeller protection frame 503 is fixed to the body bracket 1 and located around the propeller 502 to protect the propeller 502 during normal operation.

[0068] In the aforementioned water flow propulsion mechanism 5, the propeller 502 is driven to rotate by the geared motor 501, which in turn pushes the water in the water tank 105 to generate an impact water flow, thereby improving the water flow and washing efficiency, and creating a high-speed water flow range to prevent the fallen bowls from floating on the water surface and lingering, causing the next washed bowl to collide with them.

[0069] To control the dish cleaning mechanism 2, the auxiliary limiting mechanism 3, the transmission mechanism 4, and the water flow propulsion mechanism 5, the dishwasher device in this embodiment also includes electronic control components, such as... Figure 11As shown, the electric control components include a main control module, a voice recognition module, a liquid level sensor, a pressure sensor, a switching power supply, a water pump and an electromagnetic valve, the voice recognition module, the liquid level sensor, the pressure sensor, the switching power supply, the water pump and the electromagnetic valve are arranged in the interior of the machine body support 1, the main control module is connected with the voice recognition module, the liquid level sensor, the pressure sensor, the switching power supply, the water pump and the electromagnetic valve respectively, and is also connected with each motor, a rudder and a reset micro switch of the bowl and chopstick cleaning mechanism 2, the auxiliary limiting mechanism 3, the transmission mechanism 4 and the water flow propulsion mechanism 5; wherein the main control module is an STM32F407ZGT6 controller, the switching power supply is a 12V20A switching power supply, the water pump is a 12V water pump and the electromagnetic valve is a 12V electromagnetic valve.

[0071] The embodiment also provides a method for washing dishes, which is realized based on the semi-automatic mechanical sound control dish washing machine device and includes the following steps.

[0072] 1) When cleaning dishes, the user says "clean dishes", receives the voice control instruction of the user for cleaning dishes, the bowl and chopstick cleaning mechanism moves forward to the clamping position, the reset micro switch of the front baffle of the cleaning machine frame is pressed, the mechanism stops moving forward, and the bowl and chopstick cleaning mechanism is waiting for receiving dishes; after receiving the dishes, the bowl and chopstick cleaning mechanism retreats into the dish washing machine to clean the dishes, the reset micro switch of the rear baffle of the cleaning machine frame is pressed by the stop plate to stop moving backward, and the cleaning starts; after the initial cleaning of the dishes is completed, the stop plate is lifted, the bowl and chopstick cleaning mechanism continues to move backward, until the reset micro switch of the rear baffle of the cleaning machine frame is pressed again, and the movement stops, and the dishes will fall into the pool during the backward movement;

[0073] 2) When cleaning chopsticks and spoons, the user says "clean chopsticks and spoons", receives the voice control instruction of the user for cleaning chopsticks and spoons, the bowl and chopstick cleaning mechanism moves forward to the chopstick and spoon cleaning position, i.e. the clamping position when cleaning dishes, the two rollers of the bowl and chopstick cleaning mechanism continuously rotate to realize the transmission of the chopsticks and spoons, after the cleaning of the chopsticks and spoons is completed, the voice control instruction of the user for ending the cleaning is received, the bowl and chopstick cleaning mechanism returns to the stop plate position, and the semi-automatic cleaning process stops;

[0074] 3) During the cleaning of tableware, the auxiliary limiting mechanism limits the position of the tableware, the tableware is easy to deviate from the correct position under the joint action of the reverse movement of the two rollers, deviates from the correct stress point, and cannot rotate correctly with the rollers, the auxiliary limiting mechanism is folded before the cleaning of the tableware to limit the outward movement distance of the tableware, and ensures the normal cleaning.

[0075] 4) In the process of dish cleaning, the bowl and chopstick cleaning mechanism moves backward with the bowl and dishware, and when the bowl and dishware contacts the backstop of the cleaning frame, the bowl and chopstick cleaning mechanism continues to move backward; at this time, the pushing force of the backstop is much greater than the friction force of the roller clamp, and the bowl and dishware gradually moves relative to the two rollers under the action of the force of the backstop, and finally falls off the roller clamp and falls into the water tank; the bowl and dishware falls into the water in a way of gradually separating from the roller, and forms a certain angle with the water surface when falling into the water, and directly sinks to the bottom of the water tank, avoiding the problem that the bowl and dishware floats on the water surface due to surface tension or water buoyancy.

[0076] 5) In the process of chopstick and spoon cleaning, the two rollers of the bowl and chopstick cleaning mechanism continue to rotate, and the user puts one end of the chopstick and spoon into one side of the two rollers, and moves the chopstick and spoon to the other side under the action of the friction force of the two rollers, which not only has the effect of friction cleaning, but also ensures the effect of falling into the water tank after cleaning.

[0077] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise explicitly specified and agreed, the terms "arrangement", "installation", "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, "connection" can be fixed connection, can also be detachable connection, or integral connection; can be mechanical connection, can also be electrical connection; can be direct connection, can also be indirect connection through intermediate medium, can be internal communication of two elements. For ordinary skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances, and the terms "up", "down", "left", "right" and similar expressions are only for the purpose of illustration, and do not represent the only embodiment.

[0078] In summary, the dishwasher device of the present application integrates bowl, dish, chopstick and spoon cleaning on one mechanism, the double-cotton-roller and the upper and lower brush frame are designed ingeniously, double cleaning is more in line with people's traditional concept of washing dishes, the auxiliary limiting mechanism adopts an overlapping four-bar mechanism, when the dishware is constrained and fixed, the transmission angle of the constraint reaction force is small, so that the dishware can be safely constrained on the clamping device. A buffer plastic pad is attached to the wall, which can deform adaptively, and at the same time, a working space is reserved when the dishware is constrained; in addition, the dishwasher device of the present application is based on the traditional way of washing dishes, and is more easily accepted by people psychologically than the high-pressure hot fluid and the acoustic dishwasher, which is realized by the new combination of typical mechanisms. For example: the design uses the principle of friction wheel to realize the rotation of the bowl and dish and the movement of the chopstick and spoon; the design uses the hinge link mechanism to realize the clamping of the bowl and dish in two positions.

[0079] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this, any skilled person in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme and the inventive concept of the present application within the scope disclosed by the present application, which belongs to the protection scope of the present application.
