AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing fully automatic dishwashers produce varying degrees of turbidity in the washing water due to different levels of dirt on the dishes. Reusing heavily turbid washing water affects the washing effect and user experience.

Method used

The system employs a sludge storage chamber and a wastewater filter screen. A turbidity sensor detects water turbidity and controls the operation of the diversion pump and the drainage pump. This ensures that water is recycled when the turbidity value is below the threshold and discharged when it exceeds the threshold. Combined with a check valve, the system controls the direction of water flow, achieving effective water filtration and circulation.

Benefits of technology

This improves the dishwasher's cleaning performance for dishes, ensuring that the turbidity of the recycled water is always below the threshold, preventing heavily turbid water from affecting the washing effect and enhancing the user experience.

[0080] In some embodiments, the heater 20 is connected to the controller 16 and is used to heat the washing water to improve the washing effect.

[0081] In some embodiments, the fan assembly 21 is connected to the controller 16 and is used to dry the surface of the tableware after the tableware is washed to improve the user experience.

[0082] In some embodiments, the temperature sensor 22 is connected to the controller 16 and is used to detect the temperature value of the water in the sink 151 and send the detected temperature value of the water in the sink 151 to the controller 16.

[0083] In some embodiments, the voice prompt device 23 is connected to the controller 16 and can be used to issue a voice prompt after the tableware is washed. The content of the voice prompt can be pre-set when the dishwasher 100 is shipped or can be customized by the user. For example, the content of the voice prompt can be: “The washing and disinfection of the tableware have been completed”. ​

[0084] In some embodiments, the circulation pump 24 is connected with the controller 16 for driving the water in the sump to the spray arms 13.

[0085] In some embodiments, the circulation pump 24 and the heater 20 jointly constitute a washing pump 152, that is, the washing pump 152 includes the circulation pump 24 and the heater 20.

[0086] It can be understood that the structure shown in the embodiments of the present application does not constitute a specific limitation on the dishwasher. In other embodiments of the present application, the smart pot and the smart stove can include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or split certain components, or different component arrangements. The components shown can be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0087] The embodiments provided by the present application will be specifically described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0088] It can be understood that when the user needs to use the dishwasher to wash the tableware, the user can select the washing mode of the dishwasher on the display according to the type of tableware to be cleaned, for example, the type of tableware to be cleaned includes large bowls, small bowls, cups and plates, and then the mixed washing mode can be selected. The controller executes the corresponding washing program according to the user's selected washing mode. As shown in the figure, Figure 6 The washing process 60 of the washing program can include a pre-washing stage 61, a main washing stage 62, a hot rinsing stage 63 and a drying stage 64 which are sequentially run.

[0089] Among them, the pre-washing stage 61 mainly uses the washing pump to spray water through the spray arm to flush the surface of the tableware; the main washing stage 62 mainly uses the heater to heat the water to warm (hot) water, for example, the water can be heated to 40℃, and then the washing pump is used to spray the 40℃ water through the spray arm to wash the tableware, and cleaning agent is added to remove dirt and grease; the hot rinsing stage 63 mainly uses the heater to heat the water to warm (hot) water, for example, the water can be heated to 70℃, and then the washing pump is used to spray the 70℃ water through the spray arm to wash the tableware, achieving the effect of cleaning and disinfection; the drying stage 64 mainly uses the heater and / or the fan assembly to achieve the effect of drying the surface of the tableware.

[0090] In some embodiments, the pre-washing stage 61, the main washing stage 62 and the hot rinsing stage 63 can adopt the mode of multiple water inlets for washing, and the water in each stage of the pre-washing stage 61, the main washing stage 62 and the hot rinsing stage 63 is circulated in the corresponding stage.

[0091] It can be seen that the pre-washing stage 61 and the main washing stage 62 can strip most or even all of the dirt on the tableware, so that the water turbidity value of the pre-washing stage 61 and the main washing stage 62 is increased, so that the pre-washing stage 61 and the main washing stage 62 can be taken as the target stage. That is, the pre-washing stage 61 and the main washing stage 62 can filter the water in the sink through the dirt storage chamber, and discharge the water containing high-concentration dirt, so as to reduce the turbidity value of the water in the sink, and further improve the washing effect of the dishwasher on the tableware.

[0092] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the washing process 60 can further include a transition stage 62a, the transition stage 62a is after the main washing stage 62, and the transition stage 62a is before the hot rinsing stage 63. Figure 7

[0093] It can be understood that the dirt on the surface of some tableware is oxidized, dried, etc. due to long-term exposure to air, so that it is difficult to strip from the surface of the tableware. The conventional washing method may not be able to wash such tableware clean. In order to improve the washing effect of the dishwasher on the tableware, a transition stage 62a can be added after the main washing stage 62 and before the hot rinsing stage 63. When the user needs to use the dishwasher to wash such tableware, the user can select a strong washing mode on the display of the dishwasher, and the washing process of the washing program corresponding to the strong washing mode can include the transition stage 62a.

[0094] In the transition stage 62a, the washing pump is mainly used to spray water through the spray arm to wash the surface of the tableware, so that the dirt on the surface of the tableware is stripped.

[0095] In some embodiments, the target stage further includes the transition stage 62a.

[0096] Figure 8 A flowchart of a control method of a dishwasher is provided for the embodiments of the present application. The method is applied to a controller of a dishwasher, and the method includes the following steps:

[0097] S101, performing a water filling action of the dishwasher.

[0098] In some embodiments, when the dishwasher starts to wash the tableware, the water inlet valve can be controlled to be opened, and the water level in the inner container is monitored in real time. When the water level in the inner container is greater than or equal to a first water level threshold, the water inlet valve is controlled to be closed, and the water filling action of the dishwasher is completed.

[0099] S102, controlling the washing pump to act, and pumping the water in the sink into the inner container to wash the tableware.

[0100] In some embodiments, the washing pump is controlled to act, and the water in the sink can be pumped into the inner container and sprayed out through the spray arm to wash the surface of the tableware, so as to achieve the effect of washing the tableware.​

[0101] In some embodiments, the dispenser can be controlled to release the dishwashing powder before the washing pump is controlled to act.

[0102] S103, control the shunt pump to run in a first working state.

[0103] In some embodiments, the control of the shunt pump to run in the first working state can pump the water in the sink into the dirt storage cavity through the circulation inlet, and make the water in the dirt storage cavity enter the sink through the circulation outlet and pass through the sewage filter screen.

[0104] The first working state can be a state of running in a clockwise direction, or a state of running in a counterclockwise direction.

[0105] S104, obtain a turbidity value of the water in the dirt storage cavity.

[0106] In some embodiments, after the dirt on the surface of the tableware is stripped off, it enters the dirt storage cavity with the water flow and accumulates in the dirt storage cavity, and the water in the dirt storage cavity flows into the sink after being filtered by the sewage filter screen. By obtaining the turbidity value of the water in the dirt storage cavity, the concentration of the dirt in the dirt storage cavity can be determined.

[0107] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 9 The step S104 can be specifically implemented as follows:

[0108] S1041, obtain a target stage of the dishwasher during the washing process.

[0109] The target stage includes a pre-washing stage and a main washing stage.

[0110] In some embodiments, the turbidity value of the water in the dirt storage cavity is only obtained during the execution of the target stage. If the current stage of the dishwasher is a non-target stage, it means that the turbidity value of the water in the dirt storage cavity does not need to be obtained.

[0111] It should be understood that most or even all of the dirt on the surface of the tableware is stripped off at the target stage, and there is no or very little dirt on the surface of the tableware at the non-target stage, which usually does not make the turbidity value of the water in the dirt storage cavity exceed the turbidity threshold.

[0112] S1042, obtain the turbidity value of the water in the dirt storage cavity at the target stage of the washing process of the dishwasher.

[0113] In some embodiments, by obtaining the turbidity value of the water in the dirt storage cavity at the target stage of the washing process of the dishwasher, the concentration of the dirt in the water in the dirt storage cavity can be determined. When the concentration of the dirt in the water in the dirt storage cavity is too high, it will affect the washing effect of the dishwasher on the tableware.

[0114] It should be understood that the turbidity value of the water in the storage chamber is directly proportional to the concentration of pollutants in the water. That is, the higher the turbidity value of the water in the storage chamber, the higher the concentration of pollutants in the water, and vice versa.

[0115] S105. When the turbidity value is greater than or equal to the turbidity threshold, control the washing pump to stop, control the diversion pump to operate in the second working state, and control the drain pump to operate.

[0116] The second working state can be either a clockwise or counterclockwise operating state. If the first working state is a clockwise operating state, the second working state is a counterclockwise operating state. If the first working state is a counterclockwise operating state, the second working state is a clockwise operating state.

[0117] In some embodiments, controlling the washing pump to stop can stop the spray arm from spraying water onto the tableware surface, controlling the diversion pump to operate in the second working state can close the circulation inlet, and controlling the drain pump to operate can close the circulation outlet and discharge the water in the dirt storage chamber to the outside, and the dirt in the dirt storage chamber is also discharged to the outside with the water flow.

[0118] based on Figure 8 The embodiments shown have at least the following beneficial effects: The dishwasher control method provided in this application removes dirt from the surface of the tableware in the target stage. The dirt flows into the dirt storage chamber with the water and accumulates in the dirt storage chamber when the water passes through the sewage filter screen. When the turbidity value of the water in the dirt storage chamber is greater than or equal to the turbidity threshold, the water in the dirt storage chamber is discharged to the outside. The dirt in the dirt storage chamber is also discharged to the outside with the water flow. The water in the dirt storage chamber flows into the water tank for recycling after being filtered by the sewage filter screen. The water filtered by the sewage filter screen has a reduced turbidity value, which can improve the cleaning effect of the dishwasher on the tableware.

[0119] Figure 10 A flowchart illustrating another dishwasher control method provided in this application embodiment, the method being applied to a dishwasher controller, and the method comprising the following steps:

[0120] S201, Obtain water level height.

[0121] It should be understood that it is difficult to clean dishes properly when there is not enough water in the dishwasher. The amount of water in the dishwasher can be determined by measuring the water level in the inner drum.

[0122] The water level in the dishwasher's inner tub is directly proportional to the amount of water in the dishwasher; that is, the higher the water level in the inner tub, the more water the dishwasher contains, and vice versa.

[0123] S202, in a case where the water level height is less than a first water level height threshold, controlling the water inlet valve to open.

[0124] In some embodiments, in a case where it is determined that the water level height is less than the first water level height threshold, it indicates that the water amount in the dishwasher is reduced, which can affect the washing effect of the dishwasher on the tableware, and the water inlet valve can be controlled to open so as to increase the water amount in the dishwasher.

[0125] The first water level height threshold can be pre-set when the dishwasher is shipped.

[0126] S203, in a case where the water level height is greater than or equal to the first water level height threshold, controlling the water inlet valve to close.

[0127] In some embodiments, in a case where it is determined that the water level height is greater than or equal to the first water level height threshold, it indicates that the water amount in the dishwasher is sufficient to wash the tableware clean, and the water inlet valve can be controlled to close to stop the water inlet action of the dishwasher.

[0128] The description of the first water level height threshold can refer to the related description in the above step S202, which will not be repeated here.

[0129] Based on Figure 10 The embodiments of the present application provide a control method of a dishwasher, which monitors the water level height in the inner container of the dishwasher in real time, determines whether the water amount in the dishwasher is sufficient to wash the tableware clean, and executes the water inlet action of the dishwasher in time when the water level height in the inner container of the dishwasher is monitored to decrease, so as to maintain sufficient water amount in the dishwasher and improve the washing effect of the dishwasher on the tableware.

[0130] In some embodiments, as Figure 11 shown in FIG. 6, after step S203, the method can further include the following step:

[0131] S204, after the current target stage is ended, controlling the washing pump and the diversion pump to stop running, and controlling the drainage pump to act.

[0132] In a case where the washing pump and the diversion pump stop running and the drainage pump acts, a negative pressure is formed in the storage cavity, the second water flow check tongue piece closes the circulation outlet under the action of the negative pressure in the storage cavity, and the first water flow check tongue piece opens the circulation inlet under the action of the negative pressure in the storage cavity.

[0133] In some embodiments, the washing pump is controlled to stop running, that is, the dishwasher stops washing the dishes. The second water flow check valve closes the circulation outlet under the negative pressure in the dirt storage chamber, so that the water in the dirt storage chamber will not enter the water tank. The first water flow check valve opens the circulation inlet under the negative pressure in the dirt storage chamber, so that the water in the water tank can enter the dirt storage chamber. The drain pump is controlled to operate to discharge the water in the dirt storage chamber to the outside.

[0134] In some embodiments, steps S201 to S204 may be performed after step S105.

[0135] based on Figure 11 The embodiments shown have at least the following beneficial effects: The dishwasher control method provided in this application discharges the water in the tank to the outside after the current target stage ends, thereby avoiding the water in the current target stage being used for washing in the next stage and causing secondary pollution, which would affect the dishwasher's cleaning effect on the tableware. In other words, discharging the water in the tank to the outside after the current target stage ends can improve the dishwasher's cleaning effect on the tableware.

[0136] The following example illustrates a dishwasher control method provided in this application. Figure 12 This application provides a flowchart illustrating a control method for a dishwasher's powerful washing mode, applicable to the dishwasher's controller, which is a computer board. Figure 12 As shown, the washing process corresponding to the heavy-duty washing mode includes a pre-wash stage, a main wash stage, a transition stage, a hot rinsing stage, and a drying stage.

[0137] S301, Pre-washing stage.

[0138] In some embodiments, the pre-wash stage mainly utilizes a washing pump to spray water through a spray arm to rinse the surface of the tableware, thereby achieving the effect of washing the tableware. Figure 13 As shown, the pre-washing stage can be specifically implemented in the following steps:

[0139] S301-1 Control the drain pump to operate 3 times to discharge residual water in the sludge storage chamber and / or inner tank.

[0140] It is understandable that a drain pump is a centrifugal pump. In daily use, air binding is unavoidable. That is to say, it is unavoidable for air to enter the drain pump. When there is air in the drain pump, because the density of air is much lower than that of the water being pumped, the centrifugal force generated after the drain pump operates is small. Therefore, the low pressure formed in the central area of ​​the impeller of the drain pump is insufficient to draw water into the pump, resulting in residual water in the sludge chamber and / or the inner tank.

[0141] Therefore, before each dishwashing, the computer board can control the drainage pump to act 3 times to drain the residual water in the storage cavity and / or the inner container, that is, the computer board can control the drainage pump to act 3 times to drain the residual water in the storage cavity and / or the inner container in the pre-washing stage, so as to avoid the residual water from being used for washing dishes and reduce secondary pollution.

[0142] S301-2, dispensing pre-washing dishwashing powder.

[0143] In some embodiments, the computer board can control the dispenser to dispense pre-washing dishwashing powder in the pre-washing stage, which helps to strip the dirt on the surface of the dishes when the spray arm sprays water to wash the surface of the dishes, thereby improving the washing effect of the dishwasher on the dishes.

[0144] S301-3, performing water filling action of the dishwasher.

[0145] In some embodiments, the computer board can control the water inlet valve to open to allow the dishwasher to fill with water, and monitor the water level in the dishwasher in real time. When the water level is greater than or equal to a first water level threshold, the computer board controls the water inlet valve to close, thereby completing the water filling action of the dishwasher.

[0146] S301-4, controlling the washing pump to act, and controlling the shunt pump to operate in a first working state.

[0147] It should be understood that the washing pump includes a circulating pump and a heater. In the pre-washing stage, the computer board can control the circulating pump to act to pump the water in the sink into the inner container to drive the spray arm to spray water to wash the surface of the dishes. The water in the pre-washing stage can be cold water, and therefore the heater can not work in the pre-washing stage.

[0148] In some embodiments, the washing pump can also be referred to as a main pump.

[0149] In some embodiments, the computer board controlling the shunt pump to operate in the first working state can pump the water in the sink into the storage cavity through the circulating inlet, and make the water in the storage cavity enter the sink through the circulating outlet and pass through the sewage filter screen, while the dirt filtered out by the sewage filter screen is accumulated in the storage cavity.

[0150] In some embodiments, the dirt can be pollutant particles.

[0151] S301-5, obtaining the turbidity value of the water in the storage cavity.

[0152] In some embodiments, by obtaining the turbidity value of the water in the storage cavity, the concentration of the dirt in the water in the storage cavity can be determined. When the concentration of the dirt in the water in the storage cavity is too high, it will affect the washing effect of the dishwasher on the dishes.

[0153] It should be understood that the turbidity value of the water in the dirt holding cavity is proportional to the concentration of the dirt in the water in the dirt holding cavity, that is, the higher the turbidity value of the water in the dirt holding cavity, the higher the concentration of the dirt in the water in the dirt holding cavity, and vice versa.

[0154] For example, the turbidity value of the water in the dirt holding cavity can be obtained by the turbidity sensor and sent to the computer board.

[0155] S301-6, in the case where the turbidity value is greater than or equal to the turbidity threshold value, the computer board controls the washing pump to stop, controls the shunt pump to operate in the second working state, and controls the drain pump to act.

[0156] In some embodiments, in the case where the turbidity value is greater than or equal to the turbidity threshold value, it indicates that the concentration of the dirt in the dirt holding cavity is too high, which may affect the washing effect of the dishwasher on the tableware. Therefore, the washing can be paused, and the water with too high concentration of dirt can be drained to the outside before washing, for example, the computer board controls the washing pump to stop, so that the spray arm stops spraying water to the surface of the tableware, controls the shunt pump to operate in the second working state, so that the circulation inlet is closed, controls the drain pump to act, so that the circulation outlet is closed, and the water in the dirt holding cavity is drained to the outside, and the dirt in the dirt holding cavity is also drained to the outside with the water flow.

[0157] S301-7, in the case where the turbidity value is less than the turbidity threshold value, the computer board controls the washing pump to act, controls the shunt pump to operate in the first working state, and controls the drain pump to stop.

[0158] For the description of controlling the washing pump to act and controlling the shunt pump to operate in the first working state, refer to the related description in step S301-4 above, which will not be repeated here.

[0159] In some embodiments, the turbidity value of the water in the dirt holding cavity can be monitored in real time, and in the case where the turbidity value is less than the turbidity threshold value, it indicates that the water with too high concentration of dirt has been drained to the outside, and the remaining water in the dishwasher can continue to be used for washing tableware, that is, the dishwasher can continue to wash tableware. Therefore, the computer board can control the washing pump to act, controls the shunt pump to operate in the first working state, and controls the drain pump to stop.

[0160] S301-8, obtaining the water level height.

[0161] For the description of step S301-8, refer to the related description in step S201 above, which will not be repeated here.

[0162] S301-9, in the case where the water level height is less than the first water level height threshold value, the computer board controls the water inlet valve to open.

[0163] For the description of step S301-9, refer to the related description in step S202 above, which will not be repeated here.

[0164] S301-10, in a case where the water level height is greater than or equal to the first water level height threshold, controlling the water inlet valve to be closed.

[0165] The description of step S301-10 can refer to the related description in step S203 described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0166] S301-11, after the pre-washing stage ends, controlling the washing pump and the diversion pump to stop running, and controlling the drain pump to act.

[0167] The description of controlling the washing pump and the diversion pump to stop running, and controlling the drain pump to act can refer to the related description in step S204 described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0168] S301-12, controlling the drain pump to stop.

[0169] In some embodiments, the water level height in the dishwasher can be monitored in real time, and in a case where the water level height is less than or equal to the second water level height threshold, it indicates that the dishwasher drain action has been completed, and the computer board can control the drain pump to stop.

[0170] It can be understood that timely controlling the drain pump to stop after the drain action is completed can avoid the drain pump doing useless work and reduce energy waste.

[0171] S302, main washing stage.

[0172] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3B, step S302 can be specifically implemented as the following steps: Figure 14

[0173] S302-1, performing a water inlet action of the dishwasher.

[0174] The description of step S302-1 can refer to the related description in step S301-3 described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0175] S302-2, controlling the washing pump to act.

[0176] It should be understood that the washing pump includes a circulating pump and a heater, and the computer board can control the heater to work first in the main washing stage, and monitor the temperature value of the water in the sink in real time. In a case where the temperature value of the water in the sink is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold, the computer board controls the heater to be closed, and controls the circulating pump to act at the same time, pumps the water in the sink into the inner container to drive to the spray arm, so that the spray arm can spray water to flush the surface of the tableware.

[0177] ​The temperature value of the water in the water tank is acquired by the temperature sensor and sent to the computer board. The first temperature threshold value can be pre-set when the dishwasher is manufactured or customized by the user. For example, the first temperature threshold value can be 40°C, 50°C or 60°C.

[0178] S302-3, the dishwashing powder or block is put in.

[0179] In some embodiments, after the washing pump runs for a first preset time, the computer board can control the dispenser to put in the dishwashing powder or block, which helps to peel off the dirt on the surface of the tableware, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the dishwasher on the tableware.

[0180] The first preset time can be pre-set when the dishwasher is manufactured. For example, the first preset time can be 5 minutes, 6 minutes or 7 minutes. The first preset time can be understood as the first heating time, that is, the working time of the heater in step S302-2.

[0181] S302-4, control the shunt pump to run in the first working state.

[0182] The description of controlling the shunt pump to run in the first working state can refer to the related description of step S301-4 above, which will not be repeated here.

[0184] The description of step S302-5 can refer to the related description of step S301-5 above, which will not be repeated here.

[0185] S302-6, in the case where the turbidity value is greater than or equal to the turbidity threshold value, control the washing pump to stop, control the shunt pump to run in the second working state, and control the drain pump to act.

[0186] The description of step S302-6 can refer to the related description of step S301-6 above, which will not be repeated here.

[0187] S302-7, in the case where the turbidity value is less than the turbidity threshold value, control the washing pump to act, control the shunt pump to run in the first working state, and control the drain pump to stop.

[0195] S302-11, obtaining the temperature value of the water in the sink.

[0196] It can be understood that after the water is recharged in the washing process, the temperature value of the water in the sink will decrease, and by obtaining the temperature value of the water in the sink, it can be determined whether the temperature value of the water in the sink is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold.

[0197] S302-12, in the case that it is determined that the temperature value of the water in the sink is less than the first temperature threshold, controlling the heater to work.

[0198] It can be understood that in the case that it is determined that the temperature value of the water in the sink is less than the first temperature threshold, it indicates that the water temperature in the sink is too low, and it is difficult to dissolve and strip stubborn stains on the surface of the tableware, such as lard on the surface of the tableware. The computer board can control the heater to act, so that the temperature value of the water in the sink rises to reach the first temperature threshold.

[0199] S302-13, in the case that it is determined that the temperature value of the water in the sink is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold, controlling the heater to close, and simultaneously controlling the circulating pump to act.

[0205] S303, transition stage.

[0206] In some embodiments, the transition stage is mainly to spray water out of the spray arms by the washing pump to wash the surface of the tableware, so as to achieve the effect of washing the tableware. The description of the transition stage can refer to the description of the pre-washing stage in step S301 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0207] S304, hot rinsing stage.

[0208] In some embodiments, the hot rinsing stage is mainly to heat the water in the sink by the heater, and then spray the water in the sink out of the spray arms by the washing pump to clean the tableware, so as to achieve the effect of cleaning and disinfecting. As shown in FIG. 6, the hot rinsing stage can be implemented as the following steps: Figure 15

[0209] S304-1, performing the water inlet action of the dishwasher.

[0210] The description of step S304-1 can refer to the description of step S302-1 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0211] S304-2, controlling the washing pump action.

[0212] It should be understood that the washing pump includes the circulating pump and the heater. The computer board can control the heater to work first in the main washing stage, and monitor the temperature value of the water in the sink in real time. When the temperature value of the water in the sink is greater than or equal to the second temperature threshold, the computer board controls the heater to be closed, and controls the circulating pump to act, so as to pump the water in the sink into the inner container to drive to the spray arms, so that the spray arms can spray water to wash the surface of the tableware.

[0213] The temperature value of the water in the sink is obtained by the temperature sensor and sent to the computer board. The second temperature threshold can be pre-set when the dishwasher is shipped, or can be customized by the user. For example, the second temperature threshold can be 70°C, 80°C or 90°C.

[0214] S304-3, dispensing the brightener.

[0215] In some embodiments, after the washing pump runs for a second preset time, the computer board can control the dispenser to dispense the brightener, which helps to brighten the gloss of the surface of the tableware, so that the washed tableware looks clean and bright, and helps to improve the user experience.

[0216] ​The second preset time can be set in advance when the dishwasher is manufactured, for example, the second preset time can be 8 minutes, 9 minutes or 10 minutes. The second preset time can be understood as the second heating time, that is, the time when the heater works in step S304-2.

[0217] S304-4, control the shunt pump to run in the first working state.

[0218] The description of step S304-4 can refer to the related description in the above step S302-4, which will not be repeated here.

[0219] S304-5, after the end of the hot rinsing stage, control the washing pump to stop running, control the drain pump to act, and control the shunt pump to keep running in the first working state.

[0220] The description of controlling the washing pump to stop running and controlling the drain pump to act can refer to the related description in the above step S302-14, which will not be repeated here.

[0221] It can be understood that controlling the shunt pump to keep running in the first working state can make the water in the sink flow into the storage cavity and then be discharged to the outside from the storage cavity.

[0222] S304-6, control the drain pump to stop, and control the shunt pump to stop after a third preset time of controlling the drain pump to stop.

[0223] The third preset time can be set in advance when the dishwasher is manufactured, for example, the third preset time can be 1 minute, 2 minutes or 3 minutes. The description of controlling the drain pump to stop can refer to the related description in the above step S302-15, which will not be repeated here.

[0224] It should be understood that the shunt pump is a centrifugal pump, and in daily use, the gas binding effect of the shunt pump is inevitable, which can cause residual water in the inner container. The shunt pump continues to act for a third preset time after the drain pump stops acting, which can transfer the residual water in the inner container to the storage cavity, avoiding the residual water directly contacting the tableware in the inner container, causing secondary pollution.

[0225] The description of the gas binding effect can refer to the related description in the above step S301-1, which will not be repeated here.

[0226] S305, drying stage.

[0227] In some embodiments, the drying stage mainly uses the heater and / or the fan assembly to achieve the effect of drying the surface of the tableware.

[0228] The application also provides an electronic device, such as Figure 16As shown, the electronic device 160 includes one or more processors 1601, and one or more memories 1602, where the one or more memories 1602 are configured to store computer program codes including computer instructions, and the one or more processors 1601 are configured to execute the computer instructions to enable the electronic device 160 to perform the steps of the methods illustrated by the above method embodiments.

[0229] The above merely illustrates the specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any change or replacement within the technical scope disclosed by the present application should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
