Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of cleaning equipment, and in particular to a method and device for adjusting a resin regeneration gear, a dishwasher, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] With the development of society, more and more users are choosing dishwashers for dishwashing, freeing their hands and reducing the burden of housework. To reduce scale buildup during the washing process, dishwashers are typically equipped with a resin chamber that holds regenerated resin. Water entering the dishwasher first passes through the resin chamber, where the resin's ion exchange capacity softens the incoming water, reducing scale buildup during the washing process. After a period of use, the resin's ion exchange capacity decreases, necessitating regeneration with highly concentrated recycled water.

[0003] In the related art, dishwashers usually regenerate resin at a fixed frequency or with a fixed amount of regeneration concentrated water. However, dishwashers may be sold to different regions, and the water quality in different regions may vary. Using a fixed frequency for resin regeneration may result in the resin being regenerated too early or too late, and using a fixed amount of regeneration concentrated water may result in too much or too little water being used, resulting in poor resin regeneration effect.

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present application. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative work.

[0025] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the implementation methods of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] In this application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used to distinguish identical or similar items with substantially the same effects and functions. It should be understood that there is no logical or temporal dependency between "first", "second", and "nth", nor is there any limitation on the quantity and execution order.

[0027] Dishwasher: A dishwasher is a machine that uses chemical, mechanical, thermal and electrical methods to wash, rinse and dry tableware such as bowls, plates, glassware, cutlery and cooking utensils.

[0028] Water quality sensor: A sensor used to measure water quality. In an embodiment of the present application, the water quality sensor includes a conductivity sensor.

[0029] Resins: Ion exchange resins are commonly used in dishwashers. These materials absorb calcium and magnesium ions from water, preventing scale from forming during heating and affecting dishwasher performance. Ion exchange resins are typically made from recycled materials, such as certain types of polymers, and can be reused or recycled after use, reducing environmental pollution and resource waste.

[0030] After the resin is saturated with adsorption, high-concentration recycled water can be added for regeneration. The regeneration method is as follows:

[0031] Ca 2+ + 2RNa = R2Ca + 2Na + ;

[0032] Mg 2+ + 2RNa = R2Mg + 2Na + ;

[0033] Among them, Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ It is an ion adsorbed by the resin. RNa is the main component of high-concentration regenerated water. The regeneration process is to use Na + Replacement of Ca adsorbed on resin 2+ and Mg 2+ .

[0034] In the related art, resin regeneration is usually performed at a fixed frequency. However, dishwashers may be sold to different regions, and the water quality conditions in different regions may be different. In some areas with better water quality, using a fixed frequency to perform resin regeneration may result in the resin regeneration being too early, that is, resin regeneration is performed even though it is not necessary, resulting in a waste of highly concentrated recycled water. In some areas with poorer water quality, using a fixed frequency to perform resin regeneration may result in the resin regeneration being too late, that is, the resin has lost its softening ability, but resin regeneration has not been performed, resulting in scale generation during the washing process of the dishwasher, affecting the cleaning effect of the dishwasher. The technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application can improve this problem, reduce the waste of resources caused by premature resin regeneration, and improve the problem of increased scale caused by late resin regeneration.

[0035] Furthermore, in areas with good water quality, using a fixed regeneration concentrate water volume for resin regeneration may result in wasted regeneration concentrate. In areas with poor water quality, using a fixed regeneration concentrate water volume for resin regeneration may result in insufficient regeneration concentrate. The technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application can improve this problem, significantly reducing the problem of poor resin regeneration performance caused by excessive or insufficient regeneration concentrate water.

[0036] Figure 1This is a structural diagram of a dishwasher provided in an embodiment of the present application, see Figure 1 Dishwasher 100 includes a water inlet pipe 101, a resin chamber 102, a first connecting pipe 103, a water cup 104, a second connecting pipe 105, a water pump 106, and an inner tank 107. Water inlet pipe 101 is connected to a water source, through which water enters dishwasher 100. Resin chamber 102 is used to hold resin, which softens water and reduces the calcium and magnesium ion content in the water to prevent scale formation, ensuring proper operation and extending the life of the dishwasher. First connecting pipe 103 connects the resin chamber to water cup 104, through which water in resin chamber 102 enters water cup 104. The water cup 104 is the bottom of the inner tank 107 of the dishwasher 100. The inner tank 107 is used to hold cleaned tableware. The second connecting pipe 105 is used to connect the water cup 104 and the water pump 106. The water pump 106 can pump the water in the water cup 104 into the inner tank 107 to clean or rinse the tableware in the inner tank 107.

[0037] After introducing the structural diagram of the dishwasher provided in the embodiment of the present application, the implementation environment of the embodiment of the present application is introduced below. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the implementation environment for adjusting the resin regeneration gear of a dishwasher provided in an embodiment of the present application, see Figure 2 The implementation environment includes a controller 201 and a water quality sensor 202 of a dishwasher. The controller 201 is electrically connected to the water quality sensor 202 and the water inlet sensor 203. The controller 201 can obtain data collected by the water quality sensor 202 and the water inlet sensor 203. The water quality sensor 202 is used to measure the water quality value of the dishwasher's inlet water, and the water quality value can reflect the quality of the dishwasher's inlet water. In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The water quality sensor 202 is installed between the water inlet pipe 101 and the resin cavity 102 of the dishwasher.

[0038] After introducing the implementation environment of the embodiment of the present application, the application scenario of the embodiment of the present application will be described below. The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application can be applied to various types of dishwashers. After adopting the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, the initial water quality value of the dishwasher inlet water is used to determine the resin regeneration gear adjustment method, that is, the resin regeneration gear adjustment method is determined based on the water quality of the dishwasher inlet water, so that the resin regeneration gear adjustment method matches the water quality of the inlet water. Subsequently, the resin regeneration gear adjustment method and the initial resin regeneration gear are used to adjust the resin regeneration gear of the dishwasher, so that the resin regeneration gear of the dishwasher matches the water quality of the inlet water, thereby realizing dynamic adjustment of the resin regeneration frequency and / or the amount of water used for regeneration concentrated water, and reducing the probability of resin regeneration being too early or too late and the probability of excessive or insufficient water used for regeneration concentrated water.

[0039] After introducing the implementation environment and application scenarios of the embodiment of the present application, the adjustment method of the resin regeneration gear provided by the embodiment of the present application is described below. Figure 3 Taking the controller of a dishwasher as an example, the method includes the following steps.

[0040] 301. The controller obtains the initial water quality value and initial resin regeneration gear of the dishwasher's influent water. The initial water quality value is used to indicate the hardness of the influent water. The dishwasher softens the influent water using regenerable resin. Different resin regeneration gears correspond to different resin regeneration frequencies and / or different water consumption of regenerated concentrated water during resin regeneration.

[0041] The initial resin regeneration gear is the default resin regeneration gear of the dishwasher. The initial resin regeneration gear is set by the technician according to the actual situation, or determined by the controller according to the information obtained. The embodiment of the present application does not limit this. The initial water quality value reflects the hardness of the incoming water, that is, reflects the Ca content in the incoming water. 2+ and Mg 2+ The concentration of Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ The higher the concentration of Ca, the harder the influent water will be, and the greater the loss of resin softening the influent water; 2+ and Mg 2+ The lower the concentration, the softer the feed water, and the less loss of resin softening water. The resin regeneration frequency indicates the frequency of resin regeneration. A higher frequency indicates more frequent regenerations; a lower frequency indicates a longer interval between two consecutive regenerations. A higher regeneration concentrate water consumption results in more regeneration concentrate used per regeneration; a lower regeneration concentrate water consumption results in less regeneration concentrate used per regeneration.

[0042] 302. The controller determines a resin regeneration gear adjustment method for the initial resin regeneration gear based on the initial water quality value.

[0043] The resin regeneration gear adjustment mode is used to indicate whether to decrease the resin regeneration gear, to indicate whether to keep the resin regeneration gear unchanged, or to indicate whether to increase the resin regeneration gear. The resin regeneration gear adjustment mode is for the initial resin regeneration gear, that is, the resin regeneration gear adjustment mode is used to adjust the initial resin regeneration gear so that the adjusted resin regeneration gear matches the water quality reflected by the initial water quality value.

[0044] 303. The controller adjusts the resin regeneration gear of the dishwasher based on the resin regeneration gear adjustment method and the initial resin regeneration gear of the dishwasher.

[0045] Among them, since the adjusted resin regeneration gear matches the water quality reflected by the initial water quality value, the dishwasher controls the resin regeneration frequency and / or the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water during resin regeneration according to the adjusted resin regeneration gear, which matches the water quality reflected by the initial water quality value.

[0046] Through the technical solution provided in the embodiments of the present application, the initial water quality value of the dishwasher's inlet water is used to determine the resin regeneration gear adjustment method, that is, the resin regeneration gear adjustment method is determined based on the water quality of the dishwasher's inlet water, so that the resin regeneration gear adjustment method matches the inlet water quality. Subsequently, the resin regeneration gear adjustment method and the initial resin regeneration gear are used to adjust the dishwasher's resin regeneration gear, so that the dishwasher's resin regeneration gear matches the inlet water quality, thereby realizing dynamic adjustment of the resin regeneration frequency and / or the amount of water used for regeneration concentrated water, and reducing the probability of resin regeneration being too early or too late and the probability of excessive or insufficient water use for regeneration concentrated water.

[0047] The above steps 301-303 are a brief introduction to the method for adjusting the resin regeneration gear provided in the embodiment of the present application. The following will combine some examples to more clearly illustrate the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 Taking the controller of a dishwasher as an example, the method includes the following steps.

[0048] 401. The controller obtains the initial water quality value and initial resin regeneration gear of the dishwasher's influent water. The initial water quality value is used to indicate the hardness of the influent water. The dishwasher softens the influent water using regenerable resin. Different resin regeneration gears correspond to different resin regeneration frequencies and / or different water consumption of regenerated concentrated water during resin regeneration.

[0049] The initial resin regeneration gear is the default resin regeneration gear of the dishwasher. The initial resin regeneration gear is set by the technician according to the actual situation, or determined by the controller according to the information obtained. The method of determining the initial resin regeneration gear will be explained later. The initial water quality value reflects the hardness of the incoming water, that is, the Ca content in the incoming water. 2+ and Mg 2+ The concentration of Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ The higher the concentration of Ca, the harder the influent water becomes, and the greater the loss of resin in softening the influent water. 2+ and Mg 2+The lower the concentration, the softer the feed water, and the less loss of resin softening feed water. The resin regeneration frequency indicates the frequency of resin regeneration: a higher frequency indicates more frequent regenerations. A lower frequency indicates a longer interval between two consecutive regenerations. A higher water consumption for regeneration concentrate results in more regeneration concentrate used per regeneration; a lower water consumption for regeneration concentrate results in less regeneration concentrate used per regeneration.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present application, the resin regeneration gear can control both the resin regeneration frequency and the water consumption of the regenerated concentrated water. For example, when the resin regeneration gear is used to control the resin regeneration frequency, the water consumption of the regenerated concentrated water is the same during a single resin regeneration, such as 200 ml. At this time, the resin regeneration gear is positively correlated with the resin regeneration frequency, that is, the higher the resin regeneration gear, the higher the resin regeneration frequency. For example, when the resin regeneration gear is gear 1, the dishwasher performs resin regeneration after running 10 times; when the resin regeneration gear is gear 2, the dishwasher performs resin regeneration after running 8 times; when the resin regeneration gear is gear 3, the dishwasher performs resin regeneration after running 5 times. In addition, when the resin regeneration gear is used to control the water consumption of the regenerated concentrated water, the resin regeneration frequency is the same, such as performing resin regeneration after running the dishwasher 8 times. At this time, the resin regeneration gear is positively correlated with the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water, that is, the higher the resin regeneration gear, the higher the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water. For example, when the resin regeneration gear is gear 1, the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water during resin regeneration is 100ml; when the resin regeneration gear is gear 2, the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water during resin regeneration is 200ml; when the resin regeneration gear is gear 3, the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water during resin regeneration is 300ml. When the resin regeneration gear is used to control the resin regeneration frequency and the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water, the resin regeneration frequency and the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water may be different under different resin regeneration gears. The corresponding relationship between the resin regeneration gear and the resin regeneration frequency and the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water is set by technical personnel according to actual conditions, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0051] It should be noted that the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application can be integrated into a function provided by the dishwasher, which can be turned on or off by the user. When the function is turned off, the controller controls the dishwasher to regenerate resin according to the initial resin regeneration gear.

[0052] In one possible implementation, the controller obtains the initial water quality of the dishwasher's inlet water using a first conductivity sensor disposed between the dishwasher's water inlet pipe and a resin chamber for storing the regenerated resin. The controller then queries the dishwasher based on an identifier to determine the dishwasher's initial resin regeneration gear position.

[0053] Because the resin in the resin chamber softens the water entering the dishwasher, the first conductivity sensor needs to be located before the resin chamber, i.e., before the water is softened by the resin. This ensures that the initial water quality value is the water quality value of the dishwasher's inlet water. This ensures that the initial water quality value represents the water quality of the area where the dishwasher is located. Generally, each area corresponds to a specific initial water quality value, or in other words, the initial water quality values ​​within the same area are generally the same or similar. In some embodiments, the dishwasher identification includes at least one of the model and serial number of the dishwasher. If the dishwasher identification includes the model, the initial resin regeneration level retrieved based on the identification is the initial resin regeneration level corresponding to the model. In other words, the initial resin regeneration level is the same for different dishwashers of the same model. If the dishwasher identification includes the serial number of the dishwasher, the initial resin regeneration level retrieved based on the identification is the initial resin regeneration level specific to that dishwasher.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first conductivity sensor is used to obtain the initial water quality value, and the dishwasher's logo is used to find the initial resin regeneration gear. The initial water quality value is more accurate and the initial resin regeneration gear is more efficiently obtained.

[0055] For example, the controller uses the dishwasher's first conductivity sensor to obtain multiple measured water quality values ​​for the dishwasher's inlet water. These measured water quality values ​​are collected at multiple consecutive sampling times. The controller determines the average of these multiple measured water quality values ​​as the initial water quality value. The controller then uses the dishwasher's identifier to query multiple candidate initial resin regeneration gear positions to determine the dishwasher's initial resin regeneration gear position. Each candidate initial resin regeneration gear position corresponds to one identifier.

[0056] In some embodiments, the conductivity sensor is a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) sensor.

[0057] In order to more clearly explain the above step 401 , the method for determining the initial resin regeneration gear position involved in the above embodiment is described below.

[0058] In one possible implementation, the controller obtains an average water quality value of the area where the dishwasher is located and an adsorption parameter of the regeneration resin of the dishwasher, and determines the initial resin regeneration gear based on the average water quality value and the adsorption parameter.

[0059] Among them, the area where the dishwasher is located is the area where the dishwasher is currently located. The area can refer to provinces, cities, districts, streets, etc., and the embodiments of this application do not limit this. The average water quality value of the area can reflect the water quality of the area. The adsorption parameters of the regenerated resin can represent the ion adsorption capacity of the regenerated resin, that is, they can represent the hard water softening ability of the regenerated resin. Generally speaking, when softening water of the same water quality, the stronger the adsorption capacity of the adsorbed ions, the more ions are adsorbed in a single time, and the shorter the regeneration cycle of the regenerated resin. The adsorption parameters are set by technicians according to actual conditions, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0060] Under this embodiment, the initial resin regeneration gear is determined based on the water quality conditions in the area and the ion adsorption capacity of the regenerated resin, so that the initial resin regeneration gear is more closely matched with the actual situation of the dishwasher. Even if the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application is not used, the frequency of resin regeneration using the initial resin regeneration gear and / or the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water will not deviate too much from the actual situation.

[0061] In order to explain the above embodiment more clearly, the following will be divided into two parts to explain the above embodiment.

[0062] The first part describes the method for obtaining the average water quality value and the adsorption parameters of the regenerated resin.

[0063] In one possible implementation, the controller determines the region where the dishwasher is located. The controller uses the region where the dishwasher is located to perform a query to obtain an average water quality value for the region where the dishwasher is located. The controller also uses the identifier of the dishwasher to perform a query to obtain an adsorption parameter of the regenerated resin of the dishwasher.

[0064] If the controller has positioning and network connectivity capabilities, it can directly execute the above implementation. If it does not, it can execute the above implementation through a bound terminal. For example, a user configures the dishwasher's location on the terminal, and the controller determines the location through the terminal. Based on the location, the controller generates a water quality query request and sends it to the terminal. The terminal then queries the average water quality value based on the query request. The terminal then sends the average water quality value to the controller, which then obtains the average water quality value.

[0065] In this implementation, the area where the dishwasher is located and the adsorption parameters of the regenerated resin can be directly queried using the area where the dishwasher is located and the identification, which is highly efficient.

[0066] In one possible implementation, the controller obtains multiple reference initial water quality values ​​for the dishwasher's inlet water. The controller determines the average of these multiple reference initial water quality values ​​as the average water quality value for the area where the dishwasher is located. The controller then uses the dishwasher's identifier to perform a query to obtain adsorption parameters for the dishwasher's regenerated resin.

[0067] The reference initial water quality value is obtained by the controller through the first conductivity, and different reference initial water quality values ​​are obtained at different times.

[0068] In this embodiment, a plurality of reference initial water quality values ​​are used to determine an average water quality value, and the accuracy of the average water quality value is relatively high.

[0069] The second part describes the method of determining the initial resin regeneration gear.

[0070] In one possible implementation, the controller determines a target water quality range within which the average water quality value falls from multiple water quality value ranges. The controller also determines a target adsorption parameter range within which the adsorption parameter of the regenerated resin falls from multiple adsorption parameter ranges. The controller uses the target water quality range and the target adsorption parameter range to query a first relationship table to obtain the initial resin regeneration gear.

[0071] The multiple water quality value ranges and multiple adsorption parameter ranges are set by technicians based on actual conditions and are not limited in this embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, the correspondence between the water quality value ranges and adsorption parameter ranges and the resin regeneration gears is stored in a first relationship table. Table 1 below shows an example of a first relationship table. This first relationship table is also set by technicians based on actual conditions and is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0072] Table 1

[0073]

[0074] 402. The controller determines a resin regeneration gear adjustment method for the initial resin regeneration gear based on the initial water quality value.

[0075] The resin regeneration gear adjustment mode is used to indicate whether to decrease the resin regeneration gear, to indicate whether to maintain the resin regeneration gear unchanged, or to indicate whether to increase the resin regeneration gear. The resin regeneration gear adjustment mode is for the initial resin regeneration gear, that is, the resin regeneration gear adjustment mode is used to adjust the initial resin regeneration gear so that the adjusted resin regeneration gear matches the water quality reflected by the initial water quality value.

[0076] In one possible embodiment, when the initial water quality value is less than a first initial water quality value threshold, the controller determines the resin regeneration gear adjustment mode of the initial resin regeneration gear as a first gear adjustment mode, and the first gear adjustment mode is used to reduce the resin regeneration gear. When the initial water quality value is greater than or equal to the first initial water quality value threshold and less than a second initial water quality value threshold, the controller determines the resin regeneration gear adjustment mode of the initial resin regeneration gear as a second gear adjustment mode, and the first gear adjustment mode is used to maintain the resin regeneration gear unchanged. When the initial water quality value is greater than or equal to the second initial water quality value threshold, the controller determines the resin regeneration gear adjustment mode of the initial resin regeneration gear as a third gear adjustment mode, and the third gear adjustment mode is used to increase the resin regeneration gear.

[0077] The resin regeneration gear is positively correlated with the resin regeneration frequency and / or the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water, which means that the higher the resin regeneration gear is, the higher the resin regeneration frequency and / or the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water is, that is, the shorter the interval between two resin regenerations is and / or the more water is consumed in each resin regeneration; the lower the resin regeneration gear is, the lower the resin regeneration frequency and / or the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water is, that is, the longer the interval between two resin regenerations is and / or the less water is consumed in each resin regeneration. The initial water quality value is less than the first initial water quality value threshold, that is, the initial water quality value is low, indicating that the water quality of the dishwasher's inlet water is good, so the frequency of resin regeneration and / or the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water do not need to be too high, so the gear adjustment mode is determined to be the first gear adjustment mode; the initial water quality value is greater than or equal to the first initial water quality value threshold and less than the second initial water quality value threshold, that is, the initial water quality value is medium, indicating that the water quality of the dishwasher's inlet water is average, and the resin regeneration frequency and / or the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water corresponding to the current initial resin regeneration gear can be used, so the gear adjustment mode is determined to be the second gear adjustment mode; the initial water quality value is greater than or equal to the second initial water quality value threshold, that is, the initial water quality value is high, indicating that the water quality of the dishwasher's inlet water is poor, so a higher resin regeneration frequency and / or water consumption of regenerated concentrated water are required, so the gear adjustment mode is determined to be the third gear adjustment mode. In addition, when the initial resin regeneration gear is set by the technician according to the actual situation, the first initial water quality value threshold and the second initial water quality value threshold are also set by the technician according to the actual situation; when the initial resin regeneration gear is determined by the controller, then the first initial water quality value threshold and the second initial water quality value threshold are also determined by the controller based on the initial resin regeneration gear of the dishwasher. The determination method will be explained later.

[0078] In this embodiment, by comparing the initial water quality value with the first initial water quality value threshold and the second initial water quality value threshold, the corresponding gear adjustment method can be determined, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0079] The following describes how the controller determines the first initial water quality threshold and the second initial water quality threshold based on the initial resin regeneration gear.

[0080] In one possible implementation, the controller determines an initial water quality value range corresponding to the initial resin regeneration gear, determines a lower limit of the initial water quality value range as the first initial water quality value threshold, and determines an upper limit of the initial water quality value range as the second initial water quality value threshold.

[0081] Among them, the initial water quality value range corresponding to the initial resin regeneration gear refers to the water quality value range of the initial water quality value that matches the resin regeneration frequency and / or the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water corresponding to the initial resin regeneration gear when resin regeneration is performed at the initial resin regeneration gear.

[0082] For example, the controller determines the resin regeneration frequency and / or the regeneration concentrate water consumption corresponding to the initial resin regeneration gear. The controller determines an initial water quality value range corresponding to the resin regeneration frequency and / or the regeneration concentrate water consumption. The controller determines the lower limit of the initial water quality value range as the first initial water quality value threshold, and the upper limit of the initial water quality value range as the second initial water quality value threshold.

[0083] Among them, the correspondence between the resin regeneration gear and the resin regeneration frequency and / or the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water is configured by technical personnel according to actual conditions, and the resin regeneration frequency and / or the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water and the initial water quality value range are also configured by technical personnel according to actual conditions. The embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0084] Another implementation of the above step 402 is described below.

[0085] In one possible embodiment, the controller obtains a cumulative water intake of the dishwasher, where the cumulative water intake is the total water intake of the dishwasher after the last resin regeneration. The controller determines a resin regeneration gear adjustment method for the initial resin regeneration gear based on the initial water quality value and the cumulative water intake.

[0086] Among them, the cumulative water intake is set by technicians or users according to actual conditions, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0087] In this embodiment, the resin regeneration gear adjustment method is determined in combination with the cumulative water inflow and the initial water quality value, and the resin regeneration gear adjustment method is more accurate.

[0088] In order to explain the above embodiment more clearly, the following describes a method for determining the resin regeneration gear adjustment in combination with the cumulative water inflow and the initial water quality value in the above embodiment.

[0089] In one possible embodiment, the controller determines a cumulative working adsorption capacity of the regenerated resin based on the initial water quality value and the cumulative water inflow. The controller determines a resin regeneration gear adjustment method based on a reference consumption range corresponding to the initial resin regeneration gear and the cumulative working adsorption capacity.

[0090] The reference consumption range corresponding to the initial resin regeneration level refers to the regenerated resin consumption range that matches the resin regeneration frequency and / or regeneration concentrate water consumption corresponding to the initial resin regeneration level. The correspondence between the resin regeneration level and the reference consumption range is determined by technicians based on actual circumstances and is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0091] Under this embodiment, the initial water quality value and the cumulative water intake are used to determine the cumulative working adsorption capacity, and the reference consumption range corresponding to the initial resin regeneration gear and the cumulative working adsorption capacity are used to determine the resin regeneration gear adjustment method, so that the resin regeneration adjustment method is more matched with the initial resin regeneration gear.

[0092] For example, the controller substitutes the initial water quality value and the cumulative water intake into target relationship data to obtain the cumulative operating adsorption capacity range. The target relationship data corresponds to the recycled resin in the dishwasher. If the cumulative operating adsorption capacity is less than or equal to the lower limit of the reference consumption range, the controller determines the resin regeneration gear adjustment mode for the initial resin regeneration gear as the first gear adjustment mode. If the cumulative operating adsorption capacity is within the reference consumption range, the controller determines the resin regeneration gear adjustment mode for the initial resin regeneration gear as the second gear adjustment mode. If the cumulative operating adsorption capacity is greater than the upper limit of the reference consumption range, the controller determines the resin regeneration gear adjustment mode for the initial resin regeneration gear as the third gear adjustment mode.

[0093] The target relationship data is a function whose independent variables are the initial water quality value and the cumulative water inflow, and whose dependent variable is the cumulative working adsorption capacity range. Different types of renewable resins have different corresponding target relationship data. For a particular type of renewable resin, the target relationship data is obtained by linearly fitting multiple sample data and the actual cumulative working adsorption capacity corresponding to each sample data. Each sample data set includes a set of sample initial water quality values ​​and a set of sample cumulative water inflow.

[0094] 403. The controller adjusts the resin regeneration gear of the dishwasher based on the resin regeneration gear adjustment method and the initial resin regeneration gear of the dishwasher.

[0095] Among them, since the adjusted resin regeneration gear matches the water quality reflected by the initial water quality value, the dishwasher controls the resin regeneration frequency and / or the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water according to the adjusted resin regeneration gear to match the water quality reflected by the initial water quality value.

[0096] In one possible implementation, the controller determines a resin regeneration gear adjustment amount corresponding to the resin regeneration gear adjustment method. Based on the resin regeneration gear adjustment amount and the initial resin regeneration gear, the controller determines a target resin regeneration gear for the dishwasher. The controller adjusts the resin regeneration gear of the dishwasher to the target resin regeneration gear.

[0097] When the resin regeneration gear adjustment mode is the first gear adjustment mode, the resin regeneration gear adjustment amount is the gear reduction amount; when the resin regeneration gear adjustment mode is the second gear adjustment mode, the resin regeneration gear adjustment amount is 0; when the resin regeneration gear adjustment mode is the third gear adjustment mode, the resin regeneration gear adjustment amount is the gear increase amount. The target resin regeneration gear is the resin regeneration gear that matches the actual situation of the dishwasher.

[0098] In this embodiment, the resin regeneration gear adjustment amount is determined, and the resin regeneration gear adjustment amount and the initial resin regeneration gear are merged to obtain the target resin regeneration gear. The dishwasher is adjusted to the target resin regeneration gear to complete the automatic adjustment of the resin regeneration gear of the dishwasher.

[0099] In order to explain the above embodiment more clearly, the above embodiment will be described in several parts below.

[0100] The first part describes the method of determining the resin regeneration gear adjustment amount in the above embodiment.

[0101] In one possible implementation, the controller determines the resin regeneration gear adjustment amount based on a water quality difference between the initial water quality value and a reference water quality value of the dishwasher.

[0102] Among them, the reference water quality value is the water quality value corresponding to the area where the dishwasher is located, or the water quality value after the water passes through the resin cavity. The reference water quality values ​​of different areas are set by technicians according to actual conditions, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0103] In this embodiment, the water quality difference between the initial water quality value and the reference water quality value can be used to determine the resin regeneration gear adjustment amount. The resin regeneration gear adjustment amount matches the change in the water quality value, and the accuracy of the resin regeneration gear adjustment amount is high.

[0104] For example, the controller uses the water quality value difference to search in the second relationship table to obtain the resin regeneration gear adjustment amount corresponding to the water quality value difference.

[0105] Among them, the second relationship table stores multiple water quality value differences and the resin regeneration gear adjustment amounts corresponding to each water quality value difference. The second relationship table is set by technicians according to actual conditions, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0106] In one possible embodiment, the controller obtains a reference hardness value of the dishwasher's inlet water after it passes through the regenerable resin. Based on the initial hardness value and the resin regeneration gear adjustment method, the controller determines an initial resin regeneration gear adjustment amount corresponding to the resin regeneration gear adjustment method. Based on the hardness difference between the initial hardness value and the reference hardness value and the resin regeneration gear adjustment method, the controller determines a resin regeneration gear correction amount corresponding to the resin regeneration gear adjustment method. The controller combines the initial resin regeneration gear adjustment amount and the resin regeneration gear correction amount corresponding to the resin regeneration gear adjustment method to obtain a resin regeneration gear adjustment amount corresponding to the resin regeneration gear adjustment method.

[0107] In the process of water passing through the renewable resin, the ions in the water will be adsorbed, so the hardness value will change. The reference hardness value is the hardness value of the water after being adsorbed by the renewable resin. Correspondingly, the initial hardness value refers to the hardness value of the water without being adsorbed by the renewable resin. The initial resin regeneration gear adjustment amount is a benchmark gear adjustment amount. The hardness value difference can reflect the adsorption amount of the renewable resin. The resin regeneration gear correction amount is used to make corrections based on the benchmark gear adjustment amount, that is, the initial resin regeneration gear adjustment amount, to obtain the final resin regeneration gear adjustment amount. In some embodiments, the hardness value of water is measured by a hardness sensor.

[0108] Under this embodiment, the initial hardness value and the resin regeneration gear adjustment method are used to determine the benchmark gear adjustment amount, the hardness value difference between the initial hardness value and the reference hardness value and the resin regeneration gear adjustment method are used to determine the resin regeneration gear correction amount, and finally the resin regeneration gear correction amount is used to correct the benchmark gear adjustment amount to obtain the resin regeneration gear adjustment amount, and the accuracy of the resin regeneration gear adjustment amount is relatively high.

[0109] For example, the controller obtains a reference hardness value of the dishwasher's inlet water through the dishwasher's second conductivity sensor, which is located after the dishwasher's resin inlet chamber. The controller determines first relationship data corresponding to the resin regeneration gear adjustment method, where the first relationship data represents the correspondence between hardness values ​​and resin regeneration gear adjustment amounts. The controller substitutes the initial hardness value into the first relationship data corresponding to the resin regeneration gear adjustment method to obtain the initial resin regeneration gear adjustment amount corresponding to the resin regeneration gear adjustment method. The controller determines second relationship data corresponding to the resin regeneration gear adjustment method, where the second relationship data represents the correspondence between hardness value differences and resin regeneration gear correction amounts. The controller substitutes the hardness value differences into the second relationship data corresponding to the resin regeneration gear adjustment method to obtain the resin regeneration gear correction amount corresponding to the resin regeneration gear adjustment method. The controller adds the initial resin regeneration gear adjustment amount and the resin regeneration gear correction amount to obtain the resin regeneration gear adjustment amount.

[0110] The reference hardness value is the hardness value of water after being softened by the resin. Therefore, based on the direction of water flow, the second conductivity sensor needs to be placed after the resin chamber. For example, the second conductivity sensor can be placed between the resin chamber and the water cup in a dishwasher, or inside the water cup, although this is not limited in this embodiment. The initial hardness value can reflect the quality of the incoming water hardness. Therefore, there is a relationship between the initial hardness value and the reference gear adjustment amount. For example, if the resin regeneration gear adjustment method is the first gear adjustment method, the smaller the initial hardness value, the larger the initial resin regeneration gear adjustment amount (decrease), indicating a larger gear reduction. If the resin regeneration gear adjustment method is the third gear adjustment method, the larger the initial hardness value, the larger the initial resin regeneration gear adjustment amount (increase), indicating a larger gear increase. The hardness value difference can reflect the amount of adsorption of the regenerated resin. The larger the hardness value difference, the greater the amount of adsorption of the regenerated resin; the smaller the hardness value difference, the smaller the amount of adsorption of the regenerated resin. Generally speaking, the cumulative working adsorption capacity of the renewable resin is related to the resin regeneration frequency and / or the water consumption of the regenerated concentrated water. The larger the cumulative working adsorption capacity, the greater the cumulative loss of the renewable resin, and the resin regeneration frequency and / or the water consumption of the regenerated concentrated water should be increased; correspondingly, the smaller the cumulative working adsorption capacity, the smaller the cumulative loss of the renewable resin, and the resin regeneration frequency and / or the water consumption of the regenerated concentrated water should be reduced. Based on this principle, it can be determined that there is a correlation between the hardness value difference and the resin regeneration gear correction amount.

[0111] Furthermore, the first relationship data is a function, and different resin regeneration gear adjustment methods correspond to different first relationship data. The first relationship data can be used to determine the baseline gear adjustment amount. Correspondingly, the second relationship data is also a function, and different resin regeneration gear adjustment methods correspond to different second relationship data. The second relationship data can be used to determine the baseline resin regeneration gear correction amount. The first and second relationship data are designed by technicians based on actual conditions and are not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0112] Another method for determining the resin regeneration gear adjustment amount in the first part above is described below.

[0113] In one possible implementation, the controller obtains the cumulative water intake of the dishwasher and the initial water quality value. The cumulative water intake represents the total water intake required to complete a single dishwashing cycle. Based on the initial water quality value and the cumulative water intake, the controller determines the cumulative working adsorption capacity of the regenerated resin. The controller substitutes this cumulative working adsorption capacity into third relationship data corresponding to the resin regeneration gear adjustment mode to obtain an initial resin regeneration gear adjustment value corresponding to the resin regeneration gear adjustment mode. The third relationship data represents the corresponding relationship between the cumulative working adsorption capacity and the resin regeneration gear adjustment value.

[0114] The cumulative working adsorption capacity of the regenerated resin is related to the resin regeneration frequency and / or the water consumption of the regenerated concentrated water. A greater cumulative working adsorption capacity indicates a greater cumulative loss of the regenerated resin, and therefore the resin regeneration frequency and / or the water consumption of the regenerated concentrated water should be increased. Correspondingly, a smaller cumulative working adsorption capacity indicates a smaller cumulative loss of the regenerated resin, and therefore the resin regeneration frequency and / or the water consumption of the regenerated concentrated water should be decreased. The greater the resin regeneration gear adjustment, the greater the decrease or increase in the resin regeneration frequency and / or the water consumption of the regenerated concentrated water, and there is a corresponding relationship between the two. The third relationship data is a function, and different resin regeneration gear adjustment methods correspond to different third relationship data. The third relationship data can be used to determine the resin regeneration gear adjustment.

[0115] The second part describes the method of determining the target resin regeneration gear of the dishwasher in the above embodiment.

[0116] In a possible implementation, when the resin regeneration gear adjustment mode is the first gear adjustment mode, the controller subtracts the initial resin regeneration gear from the resin regeneration gear adjustment amount to obtain the target resin regeneration gear.

[0117] In a possible implementation, when the resin regeneration gear adjustment mode is the second gear adjustment mode, the controller adds the initial resin regeneration gear to the resin regeneration gear adjustment amount to obtain the target resin regeneration gear.

[0118] Part III describes the method of adjusting the resin regeneration gear of the dishwasher to the target resin regeneration gear in the above embodiment.

[0119] In one possible embodiment, the controller determines whether the current resin regeneration gear of the dishwasher is the same as the target resin regeneration gear. If the current resin regeneration gear is the same as the target resin regeneration gear, the controller maintains the resin regeneration gear of the dishwasher unchanged; if the current resin regeneration gear is different from the target resin regeneration gear, the controller adjusts the resin regeneration gear of the dishwasher to the target resin regeneration gear.

[0120] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, Figure 5 The above steps 401-404 are described.

[0121] See also Figure 5 , set the initial resin regeneration gear a. Control the water inlet of the dishwasher. Obtain the initial water quality value S0 of the inlet water through the first conductivity sensor, and determine the first initial water quality value threshold S sv1 and the second initial water quality value threshold S sv2 When the initial water quality value S0 is less than or equal to the first initial water quality value threshold S sv1 In the case of, reduce the initial resin regeneration gear a; the initial water quality value S0 is greater than the first initial water quality value threshold S sv1 and is less than the second initial water quality value threshold S sv2 In this case, the initial resin regeneration gear a is kept unchanged; when the initial water quality value S0 is greater than the second initial water quality value threshold S sv2 In the case of , increase the initial resin regeneration gear a. After the resin regeneration gear adjustment is completed, control the dishwasher to continue operating according to the adjusted resin regeneration gear.

[0122] 404. The controller controls the dishwasher to perform resin regeneration based on the resin regeneration gear of the dishwasher.

[0123] In a possible embodiment, when the cumulative number of operations of the dishwasher reaches a preset number of operations, the controller controls the dishwasher to regenerate the resin and clear the cumulative number of operations, where the preset number of operations is the preset number of operations corresponding to the current resin regeneration gear of the dishwasher.

[0124] Among them, when the cumulative number of working times reaches the preset number of working times, it means that the dishwasher has worked a lot, the amount of ions adsorbed by the regenerable resin is already very large, and the regenerable resin needs to be regenerated. The preset number of working times corresponding to different resin regeneration gears is different. When the resin regeneration gear is low, the preset number of working times is large, and the resin regeneration frequency and / or the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water is small; when the resin regeneration gear is high, the preset number of working times is small, and the resin regeneration frequency and / or the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water is large. The preset number of working times corresponding to different resin regeneration gears is set by technical personnel according to actual conditions, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0125] In a possible embodiment, when the cumulative water intake of the dishwasher reaches a preset water intake, the controller controls the dishwasher to perform resin regeneration and clear the cumulative water intake, where the preset water intake is the preset water intake corresponding to the current resin regeneration gear of the dishwasher.

[0126] Among them, the cumulative water intake reaches the preset water intake, which means that the water intake of the dishwasher is large, the amount of ions adsorbed by the regenerable resin is already very large, and the regenerable resin needs to be regenerated. The preset water intake corresponding to different resin regeneration gears is different. When the resin regeneration gear is low, the preset water intake is large, and the resin regeneration frequency and / or the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water is small; when the resin regeneration gear is high, the preset water intake is small, and the resin regeneration frequency and / or the water consumption of regenerated concentrated water is large. The preset water intake corresponding to different resin regeneration gears is set by technical personnel according to actual conditions, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0127] All of the above optional technical solutions can be combined in any way to form optional embodiments of the present application, and will not be described in detail here.
