Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of dishwashers, and more particularly to a dishwasher control method, apparatus, device, dishwasher, and medium. Background Technology

[0002] There are two main reasons why the water level in the inner tub of existing dishwashers can fluctuate. First, incorrect placement of dishes causes water sprayed during the wash cycle to accumulate on the dishes, preventing it from returning to the inner tub and resulting in less water being heated. Second, a malfunctioning flow meter can cause a significant discrepancy between the actual and measured water intake, leading to insufficient water for heating during the wash cycle. Insufficient water can potentially cause the heating element to burn out. To prevent this, existing dishwashers typically use a water level pressure switch at the bottom of the inner tub to monitor the water level. However, using a pressure switch increases the complexity of the inner tub structure, raising production costs and hindering both production and application. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the issue that installing a water level pressure switch at the bottom of the dishwasher's inner tub to monitor the amount of water used for washing increases the complexity of the inner tub structure, this application provides a dishwasher control method, apparatus, device, dishwasher, and medium that eliminates the need to monitor the amount of water used for washing by installing a water level pressure switch in the inner tub, thereby reducing the complexity of the inner tub structure.

[0004] This application provides a dishwasher control method, the method comprising:

[0005] Obtain the vibration frequency of the dishwasher's wash pump during operation;

[0006] If the vibration frequency is greater than the first preset vibration frequency, the water inlet valve of the dishwasher is opened to replenish water to the inner tank of the dishwasher.

[0010] The dishwasher issued its first alarm message.

[0011] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0012] If the vibration frequency is less than or equal to the first preset vibration frequency, and the vibration frequency is greater than or equal to the second preset vibration frequency, then the dishwasher is controlled to operate normally.

[0013] In some embodiments, after opening the water inlet valve of the dishwasher to replenish water to the inner tank of the dishwasher if the vibration frequency is greater than a first preset vibration frequency, the method further includes:

[0014] The number of times the water inlet valve of the dishwasher is opened to replenish water to the inner tank of the dishwasher is obtained;

[0015] If the number of water replenishments is greater than or equal to the preset number of water replenishments, the dishwasher will be controlled to stop working.

[0016] In some embodiments, setting the preset number of water replenishments includes:

[0017] The amount of water entering the inner tank through the water inlet valve when the dishwasher starts working is obtained;

[0018] Obtain the maximum water volume allowed for the dishwasher to operate;

[0019] The remaining water volume of the dishwasher is determined based on the inlet water volume and the maximum water volume;

[0020] Based on the remaining water volume and the preset water replenishment volume per replenishment, the preset number of water replenishments is set.

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments should not be regarded as limitations on this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] In the following description, references are made to “some embodiments,” which describe a subset of all possible embodiments. However, it is understood that “some embodiments” may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments and may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0037] If the application documents contain similar descriptions such as "first, second, third", the following explanation shall be added: In the following description, the terms "first, second, third" are used only to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific order of objects. It is understood that "first, second, third" may be interchanged in a specific order or sequence where permitted, so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0038] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of this application only and is not intended to limit this application.

[0039] To address the problems existing in related technologies, this application provides a dishwasher control method. This method is applied to an electronic device, such as a mobile terminal or computer. The dishwasher control method provided in this application enables functions that can be implemented by the processor of the electronic device calling program code, which can be stored in a computer storage medium.

[0040] This application provides a dishwasher control method. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the implementation flow of the dishwasher control method provided in the embodiments of this application, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0041] Step S1: Obtain the vibration frequency of the dishwasher's wash pump during operation;

[0042] In the embodiments of this application, the vibration frequency of the dishwasher's washing pump during operation can be obtained by means of vibration sensors, vibration measurement sensors, frequency meters, frequency counters, flash meters, etc. When different devices are selected, they can be installed according to the installation method of the device. For example, if a vibration sensor is used, the vibration sensor can be installed on the dishwasher's washing pump.

[0043] Step S2: If the vibration frequency is greater than the first preset vibration frequency, then open the water inlet valve of the dishwasher to add water to the inner tank of the dishwasher.

[0044] In the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the first preset vibration frequency is the highest vibration frequency that the washing pump should maintain under normal operating conditions. Under normal operating conditions, the dishwasher operates based on a set working power and water volume. It is understood that the logic of this application is based on the fact that the washing pump will exhibit different vibration frequencies under different power (working power) and different loads (water volume) during actual operation. Therefore, after the dishwasher's washing program is set (with the working power and water volume determined), the vibration frequency of the washing pump will remain within a certain range during normal operation. When the washing pump is short of water, it cannot be fully loaded, and its vibration frequency is higher than the highest vibration frequency (first preset vibration frequency) at the set working power and water volume. At this time, the dishwasher's water inlet valve (water inlet solenoid valve) is opened to replenish water to the dishwasher's inner tub, preventing insufficient water volume in the inner tub from causing the heating plate to burn dry. This eliminates the need to monitor the washing water volume by installing a water level pressure switch in the inner tub, reducing the complexity of the inner tub structure, lowering costs, and facilitating production and application.

[0045] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0046] Step S3: If the vibration frequency is less than the second preset vibration frequency, then control the dishwasher to stop working, wherein the second preset vibration frequency is less than the first preset vibration frequency.

[0047] In the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the second preset vibration frequency is the minimum vibration frequency that the washing pump should maintain under normal operating conditions. Under normal operating conditions, the dishwasher operates based on a set operating power and water volume. It is understood that the logic of this application is based on the fact that the washing pump will exhibit different vibration frequencies under different power (operating power) and different loads (water volume) during actual operation. Therefore, after the dishwasher's washing program is set (with the operating power and water volume determined), the vibration frequency of the washing pump will remain within a certain range during normal operation. If the vibration frequency of the dishwasher's washing pump is lower than the minimum vibration frequency under normal operating conditions (the second preset vibration frequency), it indicates that the washing pump may be damaged and cannot operate normally. In this case, the washing pump may be malfunctioning, and the dishwasher will stop operating, thus stopping the washing process.

[0048] In some embodiments, after controlling the dishwasher to stop working if the vibration frequency is less than a second preset vibration frequency, the method further includes:

[0049] Step S4: The dishwasher issues a first alarm message.

[0050] In the embodiments of this application, when the vibration frequency of the dishwasher's washing pump is less than the second preset vibration frequency during operation, the dishwasher issues a first alarm message after controlling the dishwasher to stop working. The first alarm message may include information such as washing pump malfunction or possible damage. The first alarm message can be displayed on the dishwasher's screen, broadcast through the dishwasher's voice alarm device, or sent to the user terminal through the dishwasher's communication module. The first alarm message can inform the user that there is an abnormality in the dishwasher.

[0051] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0052] Step S5: If the vibration frequency is less than or equal to the first preset vibration frequency, and the vibration frequency is greater than or equal to the second preset vibration frequency, then control the dishwasher to operate normally.

[0053] In the embodiments of this application, the dishwasher typically operates according to a set program. Upon startup, the water inlet valve is opened to supply the dishwasher's inner tub with the programmed water volume. After water supply is complete, the dishwasher begins operation according to the set program, and the washing pump starts running. The vibration frequency of the washing pump during operation is acquired in real time. If the vibration frequency during operation is less than or equal to a first preset vibration frequency and greater than or equal to a second preset vibration frequency, it indicates that the washing pump is under normal operating conditions and can operate normally. The dishwasher can then be controlled to operate normally according to the set program.

[0054] In some embodiments, after opening the water inlet valve of the dishwasher to replenish water to the inner tank of the dishwasher if the vibration frequency is greater than a first preset vibration frequency, the method further includes:

[0055] Step S21: Obtain the number of times the water inlet valve of the dishwasher is opened to replenish water to the inner tank of the dishwasher;

[0056] Step S22: If the number of water replenishments is greater than or equal to the preset number of water replenishments, then control the dishwasher to stop working.

[0057] In the embodiments of this application, the amount of water added to the inner tub of the dishwasher each time the water inlet valve is opened is a preset value. The total amount of water added can be calculated by obtaining the number of water additions. The total amount of water in the inner tub can be obtained by combining the total amount of water added with the amount of water that enters the inner tub through the water inlet valve when the dishwasher starts working. The total amount of water cannot exceed the maximum amount of water allowed for the dishwasher to operate. Therefore, when the number of water additions is greater than or equal to the preset number of water additions, the dishwasher is controlled to stop working to avoid the dishwasher still judging that it is short of water after multiple water additions. At this time, it may be that the washing pump is malfunctioning, resulting in a high vibration frequency or the dishwasher is leaking abnormally. On the other hand, it prevents the dishwasher from overflowing due to excessive water addition.

[0058] In some embodiments, setting the preset number of water replenishments includes:

[0059] Step S211: Obtain the amount of water entering the inner tank through the water inlet valve when the dishwasher starts working;

[0060] Step S212: Obtain the maximum water volume allowed for the dishwasher to operate;

[0061] Step S213: Determine the remaining water volume of the dishwasher based on the inlet water volume and the maximum water volume;

[0062] Step S214: Based on the remaining water volume and the preset water replenishment volume, set the preset number of water replenishments.

[0063] In the embodiments of this application, the number of water replenishments is directly related to the preset water replenishment amount per replenishment and the remaining water volume. It should be noted that the preset water replenishment amount per replenishment can be the same amount of water for each replenishment, or it can be different for each replenishment, or the same amount for some replenishments. For example, the preset water replenishment amount for each replenishment can be set to L. In this case, the number of replenishments can be set using S0 = (Lmax - L0) / L, where S0 is the number of replenishments (S0 is an integer), Lmax is the maximum water volume allowed for dishwasher operation, L0 is the water volume entering the inner tank through the inlet valve when the dishwasher starts working, and L is the preset water replenishment amount per replenishment. The preset water replenishment amount can be set to increase incrementally, for example, the first preset water replenishment amount is L, the second is 2L, and the third is 3L, as long as the replenishment amount L + 2L + 3L is less than the remaining water volume. Similarly, the preset water replenishment amount can be set to decrease progressively. For example, the first preset water replenishment amount could be 3L, the second 2L, and the third L, as long as the replenishment amount (3L + 2L + L) is less than the remaining water volume. The preset water replenishment amount can also be set to 2L, L, L, and 2L, again ensuring that the replenishment amount (2L + L + L + 2L) is less than the remaining water volume. Therefore, by obtaining the water volume entering the inner tank through the inlet valve when the dishwasher starts operating, obtaining the maximum water volume allowed for dishwasher operation, determining the remaining water volume based on the inlet volume and the maximum water volume, and setting the preset water replenishment number based on the remaining water volume and the preset water replenishment amount, the preset water replenishment number can be determined.

[0064] In some embodiments, after controlling the dishwasher to stop working when the number of water replenishments is greater than or equal to the preset number of water replenishments, the method further includes:

[0065] Step S221: The dishwasher issues a second alarm message.

[0066] In the embodiments of this application, when the number of water replenishments during the operation of the dishwasher's washing pump is greater than or equal to the preset number of water replenishments, the dishwasher is controlled to stop working. After the dishwasher stops working, it issues a second alarm message. The second alarm message may include information such as abnormal placement of tableware or dishwasher malfunction. The second alarm message can be displayed on the dishwasher's screen, broadcast through the dishwasher's voice alarm device, or sent to the user terminal through the dishwasher's communication module. The second alarm message can inform the user that there is a malfunction in the dishwasher.

[0067] To address the problems existing in related technologies, this application provides another dishwasher control method. This method is applied to an electronic device, such as a mobile terminal or computer. The dishwasher control method provided in this application enables functions that can be implemented by the processor of the electronic device calling program code, which can be stored in a computer storage medium.

[0068] A dishwasher control method, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the implementation flow of another dishwasher control method provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0069] Step S1: Obtain the noise level of the dishwasher's wash pump during operation;

[0070] In the embodiments of this application, the noise during the operation of the dishwasher's washing pump can be obtained through noise sensors, noise test analyzers, etc. When selecting different devices, they can be installed according to the installation method of the device. For example, if a noise sensor is used, the noise sensor can be installed near the washing pump.

[0071] Step S2: If the noise is greater than the first preset noise, then open the water inlet valve of the dishwasher to add water to the inner tank of the dishwasher.

[0072] In the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the first preset noise level is the highest noise level that the washing pump should maintain under normal operating conditions. Under normal operating conditions, the dishwasher operates based on a set operating power and water volume. It is understood that the logic of this application is based on the fact that the washing pump will exhibit different noise levels under different power (operating power) and different loads (water volume) during actual operation. Therefore, after the dishwasher's washing program is set (with the operating power and water volume determined), the noise of the washing pump will remain within a certain range during normal operation. When the washing pump is short of water, it cannot operate at full capacity, and the noise level will be higher than the highest noise level (first preset noise) at the set operating power and water volume. At this time, the dishwasher's water inlet valve (water inlet solenoid valve) is opened to replenish water to the dishwasher's inner tub, preventing insufficient water volume in the inner tub from causing the heating plate to burn dry. This eliminates the need to monitor the water volume by installing a water level pressure switch in the inner tub, reducing the complexity of the inner tub structure, lowering costs, and facilitating production and application.

[0073] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0074] Step S3: If the noise is less than the second preset noise, then control the dishwasher to stop working, wherein the second preset noise is less than the first preset noise.

[0075] In the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the second preset noise level is the minimum noise level that the washing pump should maintain under normal operating conditions. Under normal operating conditions, the dishwasher operates based on a set operating power and water volume. It is understood that the logic of this application is based on the fact that the washing pump will exhibit different noise levels under different power (operating power) and different loads (water volume) during actual operation. Therefore, after the dishwasher's washing program is set (with the operating power and water volume determined), the noise of the washing pump will remain within a certain range during normal operation. If the noise of the dishwasher's washing pump is lower than the minimum noise level during normal operation (the second preset noise level), it indicates that the washing pump may be damaged and cannot operate normally. In this case, the washing pump may be malfunctioning, causing the dishwasher to stop operating and the washing process to cease.

[0076] In some embodiments, when the method controls the dishwasher to stop working if the noise is less than a second preset noise, the method further includes:

[0077] Step S4: The dishwasher issues a first alarm message.

[0078] In the embodiments of this application, the noise during the operation of the dishwasher's washing pump is less than the second preset noise. After the dishwasher stops working, it issues a first alarm message. The first alarm message may include information such as washing pump malfunction or possible damage. The first alarm message can be displayed on the dishwasher's screen, broadcast through the dishwasher's voice alarm device, or sent to the user terminal through the dishwasher's communication module. The first alarm message can inform the user that there is an abnormality in the dishwasher.

[0079] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0080] Step S5: If the noise is less than or equal to the first preset noise and the noise is greater than or equal to the second preset noise, then control the dishwasher to operate normally.

[0081] In the embodiments of this application, the dishwasher typically operates according to a set program. Upon startup, the water inlet valve is opened to supply the dishwasher's inner tub with the programmed water volume. After water intake, the dishwasher begins operation according to the set program, and the washing pump starts running. The noise level of the washing pump during operation is monitored in real time. If the noise level during operation is less than or equal to a first preset noise level and greater than or equal to a second preset noise level, it indicates that the washing pump is operating normally. The dishwasher can then be controlled to operate normally according to the set program.

[0082] In some embodiments, after the method proceeds to open the water inlet valve of the dishwasher to replenish water to the inner tank of the dishwasher if the noise is greater than a first preset noise, the method further includes:

[0083] Step S21: Obtain the number of times the water inlet valve of the dishwasher is opened to replenish water to the inner tank of the dishwasher;

[0084] Step S22: If the number of water replenishments is greater than or equal to the preset number of water replenishments, then control the dishwasher to stop working.

[0085] In the embodiments of this application, the amount of water added to the inner tub of the dishwasher each time the water inlet valve is opened is a preset value. The total amount of water added can be calculated by obtaining the number of water additions. The total amount of water in the inner tub can be obtained by combining the total amount of water added with the amount of water that enters the inner tub through the water inlet valve when the dishwasher starts working. The total amount of water cannot exceed the maximum amount of water allowed for the dishwasher to operate. Therefore, when the number of water additions is greater than or equal to the preset number of water additions, the dishwasher is controlled to stop working to avoid the dishwasher still judging that it is short of water after multiple water additions. At this time, it may be that the washing pump is malfunctioning, resulting in increased noise or abnormal water leakage in the dishwasher. On the other hand, it prevents the dishwasher from overflowing due to excessive water addition.

[0086] In some embodiments, setting the preset number of water replenishments includes:

[0087] Step S211: Obtain the amount of water entering the inner tank through the water inlet valve when the dishwasher starts working;

[0088] Step S212: Obtain the maximum water volume allowed for the dishwasher to operate;

[0089] Step S213: Determine the remaining water volume of the dishwasher based on the inlet water volume and the maximum water volume;

[0090] Step S214: Based on the remaining water volume and the preset water replenishment volume, set the preset number of water replenishments.

[0091] In the embodiments of this application, the number of water replenishments is directly related to the preset water replenishment amount per replenishment and the remaining water volume. It should be noted that the preset water replenishment amount per replenishment can be the same amount of water for each replenishment, or it can be different for each replenishment, or the same amount for some replenishments. For example, the preset water replenishment amount for each replenishment can be set to L. In this case, the number of replenishments can be set using S0 = (Lmax - L0) / L, where S0 is the number of replenishments (S0 is an integer), Lmax is the maximum water volume allowed for dishwasher operation, L0 is the water volume entering the inner tank through the inlet valve when the dishwasher starts working, and L is the preset water replenishment amount per replenishment. The preset water replenishment amount can be set to increase incrementally, for example, the first preset water replenishment amount is L, the second is 2L, and the third is 3L, as long as the replenishment amount L + 2L + 3L is less than the remaining water volume. Similarly, the preset water replenishment amount can be set to decrease progressively. For example, the first preset water replenishment amount could be 3L, the second 2L, and the third L, as long as the replenishment amount (3L + 2L + L) is less than the remaining water volume. The preset water replenishment amount can also be set to 2L, L, L, and 2L, again ensuring that the replenishment amount (2L + L + L + 2L) is less than the remaining water volume. Therefore, by obtaining the water volume entering the inner tank through the inlet valve when the dishwasher starts operating, obtaining the maximum water volume allowed for dishwasher operation, determining the remaining water volume based on the inlet volume and the maximum water volume, and setting the preset water replenishment number based on the remaining water volume and the preset water replenishment amount, the preset water replenishment number can be determined.

[0092] In some embodiments, after controlling the dishwasher to stop working when the number of water replenishments is greater than or equal to the preset number of water replenishments, the method further includes:

[0093] Step S221: The dishwasher issues a second alarm message.

[0094] In the embodiments of this application, when the number of water replenishments during the operation of the dishwasher's washing pump is greater than or equal to the preset number of water replenishments, the dishwasher is controlled to stop working. After the dishwasher stops working, it issues a second alarm message. The second alarm message may include information such as abnormal placement of tableware or dishwasher malfunction. The second alarm message can be displayed on the dishwasher's screen, broadcast through the dishwasher's voice alarm device, or sent to the user terminal through the dishwasher's communication module. The second alarm message can inform the user that there is a malfunction in the dishwasher.

The various modules and units included in the device can be implemented by a processor in a computer device; of course, they can also be implemented by specific logic circuits. In the implementation process, the processor can be a central processing unit (CPU), a microprocessor unit (MPU), a digital signal processor (DSP), or a field programmable gate array (FPGA), etc.
