[0002] As people's living standards improve, dishwashers are becoming increasingly common in daily life. Traditional dishwashers typically use high-temperature sterilization technology, with a maximum temperature of approximately 75°C. In addition, plasma sterilization technology is also being used in dishwashers. This technology mainly uses a large number of active particles, free radicals, and ultraviolet light generated during air discharge to damage cell membranes and DNA within cells, causing bacteria to become inactive. It can disinfect bacteria at room temperature, leaving no chemical residues and is easy to operate.

[0003] When using plasma sterilization technology, the air pump continuously outputs the high-temperature acidic steam and ozone generated by the high-pressure preparation module. However, after the high-pressure preparation module finishes operating, the system temperature drops, and some of the high-temperature steam condenses into acidic water droplets with a pH of approximately 2. Due to the limitations of the air pump's structure, the acidic condensate cannot be discharged and remains in the air pump's diaphragm, which reduces the air pump's lifespan. Summary of the Invention

[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] The air circuit system provided in this application can remove condensate through the dishwasher's built-in drying system, effectively extending the service life of the air pump that works in the harsh environment of the dishwasher's sterilization system.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an air pump system structure provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0044] See Figure 1 The gas circuit system provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a water tank 101, a high-pressure module 102, a condenser 103, a three-way pipe 104, an air pump 105, a dryer 106, a first three-way valve 107, and a second three-way valve 108.

[0045] The high-pressure module 102 is placed in the water tank 101. The outlet of the water tank 101 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 103. The condensate outlet of the condenser 103 is connected to the water tank 101. The outlet of the condenser 103 is connected to the first end of the three-way pipe 104 through the second three-way valve 108. The second end of the three-way pipe 104 is connected to the air inlet of the air pump 105. The air outlet of the air pump 105 is connected to the water tank 101.

[0046] The third end of the three-way pipe 104 is connected to the dishwasher inner tub and the dryer 106 respectively through the first three-way valve 107.

[0047] Figure 2 This diagram illustrates yet another structural schematic of the gas path system provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0048] See Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first end of the first three-way valve is connected to the outlet of the dryer, the normally open end of the first three-way valve is connected to the inner tub of the dishwasher, and the normally closed end of the first three-way valve is connected to the third end of the three-way pipe.

[0049] The first end of the second three-way valve is connected to the condenser outlet, the normally open end of the second three-way valve is connected to the first end of the three-way pipe, and the normally closed end of the second three-way valve is connected to the atmosphere.

[0050] Specifically, the water tank includes a glass tube, a motor, an air outlet, an air inlet connection pipe, and a pH detection module.

[0051] In some embodiments, the gas path system further includes a pH detection module for detecting the pH value in the water tank.

[0052] Specifically, the drying system includes an air intake motor and a PTC heating element.

[0053] In a specific example, the air pump outlet is connected to the water tank's air distribution pipe.

[0054] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the condenser in the gas path system provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0055] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of the air pump in the air circuit system provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0056] See Figure 4In some embodiments, the air pump includes a positive displacement pump.

[0057] During the sanitizing and washing cycle of a dishwasher, the air pump needs to be constantly running to ensure that there is no water in the glass tube. The air pump is a positive displacement pump that uses compressed air as power and changes volume through the reciprocating deformation of a diaphragm.

[0058] During the sterilization and washing process of the dishwasher, the acidic steam output from the water tank will produce condensate. On the one hand, the condensate will corrode the air pump diaphragm. On the other hand, when the high-voltage preparation module is turned on, the air pump will blow the condensate droplets into the water tank reactor, causing arcing at the high-voltage discharge end in the reactor. Long-term arcing will lead to cumulative damage to the electrodes and even damage to the high-voltage power supply, affecting the service life of the air pump.

[0059] In a specific example, the air pump, water tank, and condenser form an internal circulation system to prevent ozone generated by the water tank during high-voltage module operation from leaking out and affecting the user experience. The air pump outlet is connected to the water tank's distribution pipe via an air pipe, and the gas flows to each glass tube through the distribution pipe. When the high-voltage module is operating, the water in the tank is heated to produce steam. If there were no condenser and the water tank were directly connected to the air pump inlet using a connecting pipe, condensation would occur due to external environmental influences. This would affect the smooth flow of gas and, moreover, cause arcing on the electrodes if the condensation is blown into the glass tubes by the air pump. Therefore, after the gas is output from the water tank, the condenser intercepts the condensation, and the condensation flows back to the water tank through the condensation outlet. The gas then enters the air pump through the condenser outlet via a three-part pipe, and the gas system circulates repeatedly until the high-voltage module stops operating.

[0060] The air circuit system provided in this embodiment of the invention removes condensate through the dishwasher's built-in drying system, effectively extending the service life of the air pump that operates in the harsh environment of the dishwasher's sterilization system, ensuring the stable operation of the high-pressure preparation module, and thus improving the dishwasher's performance.

[0061] Example 2

[0062] Figure 5 The diagram illustrates the implementation flow of a gas path control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0063] See Figure 5 The gas path control method provided in this embodiment of the invention may include steps 201 to 202.

[0064] Step 201: In response to the water tank drainage command, open the first three-way valve and the second three-way valve, so that the outlet of the dryer is connected to the third end of the three-way pipe through the first three-way valve, and the normally closed end of the second three-way valve is connected to the atmosphere.

[0065] Step 202: Start the dryer, so that the high-temperature drying gas generated by the dryer is fed into the air pump, water tank and condenser and discharged through the second three-way valve.

[0066] In some embodiments, prior to step 201, the method further includes:

[0067] In response to the disinfection and washing command, the air pump is turned on and water is added to the water tank;

[0068] The high-voltage module is controlled to discharge until the pH value in the water tank reaches the preset pH value.

[0069] The high-voltage module is controlled to stop discharging and a water tank drainage command is generated.

[0070] In a specific example, the dishwasher's sanitizing and washing program runs, the air pump starts, and water begins to fill the water tank. Once the water level reaches a predetermined level, the high-voltage module begins to discharge. During the continuous operation of the high-voltage module, the pH detection module monitors the pH value until it reaches the preset value. At this point, the high-voltage module stops operating, the water tank drains water into the inner tank, and the three-way valve and drying system open. The high-temperature drying gas generated by the drying system enters the air pump through a three-way pipe, blowing the humid air in the air pump, water tank, and condenser into the atmosphere through the second three-way valve, ensuring that the air pump, water tank, and condenser are dry.

[0071] The air path control method provided in this embodiment of the invention can remove condensate through the dishwasher's built-in drying system, effectively extending the service life of the air pump working in the harsh environment of the dishwasher's sterilization system, ensuring the stable operation of the high-pressure preparation module, and thus improving the dishwasher's performance.

[0072] Example 3

[0073] Figure 6 This diagram illustrates another implementation flow of the gas path control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0074] See Figure 6 In a specific example, the implementation process of the gas path control method provided in this embodiment of the invention is as follows.

[0075] First, the dishwasher's sterilization and washing program starts, the air pump turns on, and water fills the tank. The high-voltage module discharges, and the pH detection module determines the pH value. If the pH value does not reach the preset value, the high-voltage module discharges and the pH detection module checks repeatedly until the pH value reaches the preset value. Then, the high-voltage module stops working, the water tank drains, the three-way valves (valve 1 and valve 2) open, the drying system starts and runs for a preset time, and the program ends.

[0076] In summary, the air path control method provided by the embodiments of the present invention can improve the performance of the disinfection and washing process by utilizing the drying system of the dishwasher itself, reduce condensation in the pipeline, and extend the service life of the air pump and the dishwasher.

[0081] The dryer control module 302 is used to start the dryer, so that the high-temperature drying gas generated by the dryer is input into the air pump, water tank and condenser and discharged through the second three-way valve.

[0082] In some embodiments, the device further includes a disinfection and washing module for:

[0083] In response to the disinfection and washing command, the air pump is turned on and water is added to the water tank;

[0084] The high-voltage module is controlled to discharge until the pH value in the water tank reaches the preset pH value.
