[0002] In modern family life, dishwashers, as an important kitchen appliance, provide people with a convenient way to wash dishes. However, most dishwashers on the market currently have obvious limitations in the rinsing program.

[0003] Traditional dishwashers usually only mechanically execute the preset rinsing program, lacking a real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment mechanism for the rinsing effect. In actual usage scenarios, due to the diversity of factors such as the degree of dirtiness of tableware, the amount of detergent used, and water quality, the preset rinsing program is difficult to ensure that the ideal rinsing effect can be achieved every time. When the dishwasher completes the preset rinsing program, if the user finds that there is obvious detergent residue on the tableware, they can only manually choose to perform a cold rinse or a hot rinse again. This not only increases the user's operating steps and time costs, but also causes a waste of water and electricity resources, seriously reducing the user's satisfaction.

[0027] The present invention provides a method, a system, a device and a storage medium for rinsing tableware of a washing appliance. When the present invention rinses tableware, the cold rinse detection result is obtained by using the detection component, analyzed and judged. When it is a type-three result, it is switched to the hot rinse mode according to the preset hot rinse strategy. After the hot rinse is completed, it is detected and judged again. Only when it reaches a type-one result, a rinse end instruction is generated. Through this dual detection feedback mechanism, the rinse method is intelligently judged and adjusted according to the actual rinse effect, avoiding the fixity and blindness of the rinse program, achieving accurate response to different rinse requirements, avoiding the problem that traditional washing appliances still blindly continue the subsequent process when the rinse effect is poor, effectively improving the rinse effect, and enabling the washing appliance to better adapt to the complex and changeable actual use situation.

[0028] In the description of the present invention, the claims, and the above-mentioned drawings, the terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", etc. (if any) are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein. In addition, the term "comprising" or "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or are inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0029] For ease of understanding, the specific process of the embodiments of the present invention will be described below. Please refer to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the tableware rinsing method of the washing appliance in the embodiments of the present invention includes:

[0030] The tableware rinsing system of the washing appliance includes: a control device, and a rinsing component and a detection component electrically connected to the control device;

[0031] In one embodiment, the detection component includes a turbidity sensor and a pH sensor; the turbidity sensor is used to detect the turbidity of the water quality, which is used as an important basis for judging the rinsing process and adjusting the rinsing strategy. The turbidity sensor determines the content of suspended particles in the water by emitting light and detecting the intensity of the reflected light or scattered light, and then reflects the turbidity of the water quality after rinsing, and further judges the rinsing degree of the tableware; the pH sensor is used to detect the change in the acidity and alkalinity of the water, and the acidity and alkalinity can be used to reflect whether there are residual detergents or acidic or alkaline substances generated by the decomposition of food residues during the washing process, so as to reflect the water quality after rinsing, and further judge the rinsing degree of the tableware;

[0032] In one embodiment, the rinsing component includes an inner tank, a washing pump, spray arms (top spray arm, bottom spray arm, zone wash spray arm, etc.), and a heating tube; the inner tank is used to store soft water for washing, the washing pump is used to pump the soft water out of the inner tank, the spray arms are used to rinse the tableware, and the heating tube is used to heat the soft water in the inner tank;

[0033] In one embodiment, the rinsing assembly includes two working modes: cold rinsing and hot rinsing; during cold rinsing, the washing pump is started, water is pumped out from the bottom of the inner tank, and the tableware is rinsed by high-pressure spraying through the spray arm to wash away most of the food residues and oil stains; after cold rinsing, the control device determines whether the rinsing is completed according to the data of the detection device; if it is determined that the water quality does not reach the ideal state, that is, the tableware is not washed clean, cold rinsing can be continued according to the program setting or hot rinsing can be changed; during hot rinsing, the heating tube starts to work to heat the water in the inner tank. After the water temperature reaches the temperature range suitable for hot rinsing, the hot water is sprayed out through the spray arm under the action of the washing pump. The high-temperature hot water can better dissolve the oil stains and enhance the detergency of the detergent at the same time; after hot rinsing, the control device determines again whether the water quality meets the standard according to the data of the detection device, and controls the rinsing assembly to continue hot rinsing or end the rinsing work according to the judgment result.

[0034] The method for rinsing tableware of the washing electrical appliance includes the steps:

[0035] 1. Obtain the working mode of the rinsing assembly. If the working mode is in the cold rinsing mode, use the detection assembly to obtain the cold rinsing detection result;

[0036] In this embodiment, first, it is determined whether the current working state of the rinsing assembly is the cold rinsing mode. The cold rinsing mode is the starting point of the rinsing process. Different rinsing modes (cold rinsing and hot rinsing) have different processing strategies and requirements; when it is determined that the rinsing assembly is in the cold rinsing mode, the detection assembly is started to obtain the cold rinsing detection result. The detection assembly will monitor relevant parameters such as the water quality during the rinsing process to provide data support for subsequent evaluation of the cold rinsing effect. In some embodiments, before the cold rinsing is about to end (30 seconds before the end of cold rinsing), the detection assembly is started to ensure that it can accurately obtain the rinsing water sample and obtain the cold rinsing detection result according to the rinsing water sample, so as to determine whether it is necessary to adjust the rinsing strategy or enter the next stage of rinsing.

[0037] 2. Judge the result of the cold rinsing detection result;

[0038] In this embodiment, the cold rinse test results are deeply analyzed and classified; specifically, the water quality of the rinse water is judged based on the turbidity and pH value in the rinse water sample, thereby indirectly inferring the cleanliness of the tableware; the cold rinse test results are judged based on multiple preset standards, and the cold rinse effects are divided into different categories, such as Class I results (qualified conditions), Class II results (conditions to be improved) and Class III results (unqualified conditions), providing a decision basis for subsequent different processing paths. Based on different judgment results, the system can decide whether to end rinsing, continue cold rinsing, or switch to hot rinsing mode. Through fine judgment, the cold rinse effect can be accurately judged, avoiding unnecessary rinsing steps that waste energy and time, thereby achieving fine control of the rinsing process.

[0039] 3. When the cold rinse test result is a cold rinse category III result, the working mode of the rinse component is controlled to switch to the hot rinse mode according to the preset hot rinse strategy;

[0040] In this embodiment, when the cold rinse test result is a third-category result, it means that the cold rinse has not achieved the desired cleaning effect, and there may be more detergent residue or other problems that affect the rinsing quality; at this time, the system adjusts the working mode of the rinsing component according to the pre-set hot rinse strategy. The hot rinse strategy includes a series of parameter settings for hot rinse, such as heating temperature, heating time, spray mode, etc., to ensure that hot rinse can more effectively remove residual substances. The hot rinse mode provides a more powerful rinsing method when the cold rinse effect is not good. The system finds a suitable rinsing method by reasonably switching between cold rinse and hot rinse, thereby enhancing the washing appliance's ability to adapt to tableware with different degrees of dirtiness.

[0041] 4. After the hot rinse mode is completed, the hot rinse test result is obtained using the detection component;

[0042] In this embodiment, after the hot rinsing mode is finished running according to the preset strategy, the detection component is started again to detect the water quality after rinsing, etc., to provide data basis for the next step of result judgment. In order to ensure that the tableware is completely washed, water quality detection is still required after the hot rinsing is finished, and problems that may occur during the hot rinsing process are discovered in time.

[0043] 5. Make judgment on the results of the hot rinsing test;

[0044] In this embodiment, according to the preset hot rinse judgment criteria, parameters such as key water quality indicators after hot rinse are analyzed and classified; the hot rinse effect is divided into different categories, such as a first-class result (ideal situation, meeting the rinse end standard), a second-class result (situation that can be further improved), and a third-class result (failed situation, possibly requiring manual intervention), so as to determine the subsequent processing flow; through result judgment, the system can determine whether the hot rinse has successfully completed the task of removing residual substances and cleaning tableware, or whether further adjustment of the rinse strategy is required; accurate judgment of the hot rinse result can avoid problems such as incomplete rinsing or over-rinsing caused by misjudgment, enabling the entire rinsing system to operate stably under various circumstances.

[0045] 6. When the hot rinse detection result is a first-class result of hot rinse, a rinse end instruction is generated.

[0046] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the hot rinse detection result is a first-class result, it indicates that the hot rinse has achieved the expected cleaning effect. At this time, the system generates a rinse end instruction to notify the rinse assembly and other relevant components to stop the rinsing operation; accurate judgment of the rinse end avoids waste of resources caused by over-rinsing, saves rinsing time, and improves the overall performance and working efficiency of the washing equipment.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present invention, first, the working mode of the rinse assembly is obtained. If it is determined that it is in the cold rinse mode, the detection assembly is used to obtain the cold rinse detection result, and a preliminary judgment on the washing result of the tableware is made, providing a basis for subsequent judgment to ensure that the system can make appropriate decisions according to the actual situation; then, the cold rinse detection result is judged, and the cold rinse effect is comprehensively evaluated according to the preset criteria and accurately classified, and different processing paths are selected according to different judgment results; then, when the cold rinse detection result is a third-class result, according to the preset hot rinse strategy, the rinse assembly is controlled to switch to the hot rinse mode. After the hot rinse mode ends, the detection assembly is used to obtain the hot rinse detection result, and the washing result is judged again to ensure that the washing is completed. Finally, when the hot rinse detection result is a first-class result, a rinse end instruction is generated, marking the completion of the rinsing process. When the present invention performs tableware rinsing, by using the detection assembly to obtain the cold rinse detection result, analyzing and judging it, when it is a third-class result, switching to the hot rinse mode according to the preset hot rinse strategy, detecting and judging again after the hot rinse ends, and only generating a rinse end instruction when it reaches a first-class result. Through this dual detection and feedback mechanism, the rinsing method is intelligently judged and adjusted according to the actual rinsing effect, avoiding the fixity and blindness of the rinsing program, achieving a precise response to different rinsing requirements, avoiding the problem that traditional washing appliances still blindly continue the subsequent process when the rinsing effect is poor, effectively improving the rinsing effect, and enabling the washing appliance to better adapt to the complex and changeable actual use situation.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 , two embodiments of the tableware rinsing method of the washing appliance in the embodiments of the present invention include:

[0049] 21. Obtain the real-time water quality index and the number of cold rinsing operations from the cold rinsing detection results;

[0050] In this embodiment, during the cold rinsing process, the detection component will monitor the water quality status in real time and obtain multiple key parameters to form a real-time water quality index; specifically, the pH value sensor is used to accurately measure the pH value of the rinsing water, and the pH value of the rinsing water can reflect the acidity and alkalinity in the water and indirectly reflect the detergent residue situation; the turbidity sensor is used to detect the turbidity of the water, and the lower the turbidity, the fewer the suspended particles and impurities in the water, that is, the cleaner the tableware is; these data together constitute the real-time water quality index. The detection component will also record the number of cold rinsing operations. When each cold rinsing starts and ends, the counter is updated accordingly. The real-time water quality index provides a direct basis for evaluating the cold rinsing effect and reflects the content levels of detergent and impurities in the current rinsing water; the number of cold rinsing operations, as an auxiliary judgment factor, can measure the degree of attempt of cold rinsing under the current conditions and provide a reference for deciding whether to continue cold rinsing or switch to another mode.

[0051] 22. When the real-time water quality index meets the preset first qualified index, mark the cold rinsing detection result as a cold rinsing first-class result;

[0052] In this embodiment, the first qualified index is determined based on a large number of experiments and actual usage scenarios; specifically, for the pH value, the qualified range is set to 6.5 - 7.5. Within this range, it indicates that the detergent residue is extremely small, will not cause adverse effects on the tableware, and the water quality is close to neutral; in terms of turbidity, the qualified standard is set to be lower than 5 NTU (nephelometric turbidity unit). When the turbidity is lower than this value, it indicates that there are extremely few suspended impurities in the water; when the real-time water quality index simultaneously meets the qualified ranges of the pH value and turbidity, it can be considered that the tableware has been washed, and the cold rinsing detection result is marked as a cold rinsing first-class result.

[0053] 23. When the real-time water quality index meets the preset to-be-improved index, and the number of cold rinsing operations is less than the preset cold rinsing times threshold, mark the cold rinsing detection result as a cold rinsing second-class result;

[0054] In this embodiment, among the preset indicators to be improved, the pH value range is set to 7.5 - 8.5 or 5.5 - 6.5; when the pH value is within this range, although it indicates that there is a slightly more detergent residue, it is still possible to improve through further cold rinsing; the range to be improved for turbidity is set to 5 - 10 NTU; within this turbidity range, there are a certain amount of suspended particles in the water, indicating that the tableware cleaning degree is acceptable but there is room for improvement; at the same time, the system will check the number of cold rinsing operations, and the threshold of the number of cold rinsing operations can be set to 3 times. If the current number of cold rinsing operations is less than 3 times, it means there is still a chance to optimize the cleaning effect through another cold rinsing; when the above conditions are met, the cold rinsing detection result is marked as a second-class cold rinsing result. The preset indicators to be improved comprehensively consider two aspects: improving the rinsing effect and energy efficiency control. When the limit of the number of attempts is not exceeded, it provides a decision basis for the system to continue cold rinsing to improve the effect, balances the rinsing effect and resource consumption, avoids waste caused by excessive cold rinsing, and at the same time gives a reasonable opportunity for improvement.

[0055] 24. When the real-time water quality indicators meet the preset unqualified indicators, the cold rinsing detection result is marked as a third-class cold rinsing result;

[0056] In this embodiment, among the preset unqualified indicators, a pH value less than 5.5 or greater than 8.5 is regarded as unqualified; in terms of turbidity, greater than 10 NTU is unqualified, and at this time the rinsing water is significantly turbid; in these two cases, it indicates that the ability of cold rinsing to wash tableware is limited, and cold rinsing fails to effectively remove impurities and detergent residues, and it is judged that cold rinsing fails, and the system needs to be guided into the hot rinsing mode; when the real-time water quality indicators reach the above unqualified standards, the cold rinsing detection result is marked as a third-class cold rinsing result.

[0057] 25. When the number of cold rinsing operations is greater than the preset cold rinsing operation threshold and the real-time water quality indicators do not meet the preset first qualified indicators, the cold rinsing detection result is marked as a third-class cold rinsing result;

[0058] In this embodiment, the system will check the number of cold rinsing operations, and the threshold of the number of cold rinsing operations can be set to 3 times; when the number of cold rinsing operations is 3 times and the real-time water quality indicators (pH value and turbidity) still do not meet the first qualified indicators (for example, the pH value is 6.2 and the turbidity is 8 NTU, although it does not completely meet the unqualified indicator range but also does not reach the first qualified indicator), it means that after multiple cold rinsing attempts, it is difficult for cold rinsing to effectively improve the rinsing effect; at this time, in order to prevent excessive cold rinsing attempts and avoid wasting more resources on ineffective cold rinsing, the cold rinsing detection result is marked as a third-class cold rinsing result, and the system is timely guided into the hot rinsing mode.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 , the three embodiments of the tableware rinsing method of the washing appliance in the embodiment of the present invention include:

[0060] 221. When the cold rinse detection result is a cold rinse type I result, a rinse end instruction is generated.

[0061] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the cold rinse detection result is a type I result, it means that the cold rinse process has reached an ideal cleaning state. At this time, a washing process end instruction is generated to ensure that the rinse process is terminated in time when the best cleaning effect is achieved, avoiding unnecessary energy consumption and time waste. The washing process end instruction will be transmitted to the control system of the washing appliance to notify each relevant component to stop the current rinse operation and prepare to enter the next stage, such as the drying program or other subsequent processing links.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 1 , the four embodiments of the method for rinsing tableware of a washing appliance in the embodiments of the present invention include:

[0063] 231. When the cold rinse detection result is a cold rinse type II result, the rinse component is made to keep executing the cold rinse mode according to the preset working conditions. After the cold rinse mode ends, return to execute the step of obtaining the cold rinse detection result by using the detection component.

[0064] In this embodiment, when the cold rinse detection result is determined to be a type II result, it indicates that although the current cold rinse effect does not reach the ideal type I result standard, there is still a possibility of improvement through further cold rinsing. According to the preset working conditions, the rinse component will start the cold rinse mode again. The preset working conditions include adjusting parameters such as the rinse time, spray pressure or water inlet flow rate to optimize the cold rinse effect. After the cold rinse mode executed again ends, re-evaluate the water quality index after the cold rinse to determine whether a better cleaning effect is achieved through this improvement, so as to decide the next operation. In this way, a closed-loop feedback control mechanism is formed. By continuously detecting, judging and adjusting the cold rinse process, the potential of the cold rinse is fully utilized, the rinse effect is dynamically optimized according to the actual situation, and the ideal cleaning state is gradually approached.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 1 , the five embodiments of the method for rinsing tableware of a washing appliance in the embodiments of the present invention include:

[0066] 51. Obtain the real-time water quality index and the number of hot rinse operations from the hot rinse detection result.

[0067] In this embodiment, the detection component obtains real-time water quality indicators by monitoring multiple key parameters. Similar to the monitoring in the cold rinse stage, the washing degree of tableware is measured by detecting the pH value and turbidity. The real-time water quality indicators provide key data support for evaluating the immediate effect of hot rinsing. At the same time, the detection component also records the number of hot rinsing operations. At the start and end of each hot rinse cycle, the counter updates the data. The number of hot rinsing operations serves as an auxiliary judgment factor to help the system determine whether sufficient hot rinsing attempts have been given to achieve the ideal cleaning effect, while avoiding wasting resources due to excessive hot rinsing. The number of hot rinsing operations and the real-time water quality indicators together constitute the basis for judging the hot rinse effect and are used for subsequent classification judgments.

[0068] 52. When the real-time water quality indicators meet the preset second qualified indicators, the hot rinse detection result is marked as a first-class hot rinse result.

[0069] In this embodiment, the preset second qualified indicators are similar to the first qualified indicators in the above-mentioned cold rinse stage. When the pH value range is 6.5 - 7.5 and the turbidity is lower than 3 NTU (considering that the cleaning effect of hot rinsing is stronger and the water quality should be clearer), it is determined that the real-time water quality indicators meet the second qualified indicators, and the hot rinse has achieved the expected good cleaning effect. The hot rinse detection result is marked as a first-class hot rinse result.

[0070] 53. When the real-time water quality indicators do not meet the preset second qualified indicators, the hot rinse detection result is marked as a second-class hot rinse result.

[0071] In this embodiment, when the pH value in the real-time water quality indicators exceeds the range of 6 - 7.5 or the turbidity is higher than 3 NTU, it indicates that the real-time water quality indicators do not meet the preset second qualified indicators, that is, although the hot rinse has a certain effect, it has not reached the ideal cleaning standard. This situation is marked as a second-class hot rinse result, prompting the system that the hot rinse needs further improvement, but it is still within the range that can be further optimized by adjusting parameters.

[0072] 54. When the number of hot rinsing operations is greater than the preset hot rinse times threshold and the real-time water quality indicators do not meet the preset second qualified indicators, the hot rinse detection result is marked as a third-class hot rinse result.

[0073] In this embodiment, the preset hot rinse times threshold is 3 times. When the number of hot rinsing operations is 3 times and the real-time water quality indicators still do not meet the second qualified indicators, it indicates that after multiple hot rinse attempts, the hot rinse has not effectively improved the rinsing effect. To prevent the hot rinse from falling into an infinite loop of ineffective attempts, this situation is marked as a third-class hot rinse result, confirming the failure of the hot rinse and the need to take other measures to solve the problem.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 1, six embodiments of the tableware rinsing method of the washing appliance in the embodiments of the present invention include:

[0075] 531. When the hot rinsing detection result is a second-class result of hot rinsing, the rinsing assembly is maintained to execute the hot rinsing mode again according to the preset working conditions. After the hot rinsing mode ends, return to execute the step of obtaining the hot rinsing detection result by using the detection assembly;

[0076] In this embodiment, when the hot rinsing detection result is determined to be a second-class result, it indicates that the hot rinsing has a certain effect but does not reach the ideal cleaning state. The system adjusts the rinsing assembly according to the preset working conditions and restarts the hot rinsing mode. The preset working conditions include adjusting the water temperature, increasing the spraying frequency, or increasing the flushing intensity of specific areas, etc.; after the hot rinsing mode executed again ends, the system returns to the step of obtaining the hot rinsing detection result, re-evaluates the water quality index after hot rinsing, and then determines whether the hot rinsing has achieved a better cleaning effect, and then decides the next operation process.
