[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] In order to facilitate the understanding of this embodiment, the technical terms designed in this application are briefly introduced below.

[0034] The light curtain is an electronic device that senses changes in the intensity of the light it receives, and includes an optical system, an amplifier, and a switch output device. When working, the photoelectric sensor emits light. When the object to be detected is placed in the integrated water tank, the object either absorbs the light or reflects the light to the light receiver of the photoelectric sensor, causing the light intensity received by the light receiver to change. When there is no object to be thawed, the waveform is a square wave. When there is an object, the waveform changes and its change value triggers the output of the switch signal. At the same time, multiple groups of light curtains are placed in the length direction, width direction, and height direction to realize the function of detecting the volume of the object and its volume change.

[0035] After introducing the technical terms involved in this application, the application scenarios and design concepts of the embodiments of this application are briefly introduced.

[0036] Existing sinks are mostly used for washing food. During the thawing process of food, they are heated only from the bottom, resulting in local heating and unsatisfactory thawing effect.

[0037] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides an integrated water tank and a control system thereof.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] The present application provides an integrated sink, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the integrated water tank includes: an outer tank 2, an inner tank 1 and a receiving space 3 between the outer tank 2 and the inner tank 1, a light curtain assembly 6 is arranged on the inner wall of the inner tank 1, and the light curtain assembly 6 is used to detect the size parameters of the items to be thawed in the inner tank 1; a heating mechanism 5 and a heat dissipation mechanism are both arranged in the lateral receiving space 3 and the bottom receiving space 3.

[0040] The method provided in the present application is based on the thawing method of an integrated water sink through water isolation and water bath heating, which reduces the difficulty of the thawing method, and realizes intelligent judgment of the thawing effect by detecting the volume of the thawed items through a light curtain. The thawed ingredients do not need to come into direct contact with water, and the residual heat after thawing can be used to keep the dishes warm, thereby ensuring that resources are not wasted.

[0041] In addition, users can warm dishes in the warm environment of the integrated sink to warm up the bowls and dishes in advance to meet special cooking needs; or, after successful thawing, the prepared dishes can be placed in the integrated sink for insulation to slow down the cooling of the dishes.

[0042] In combination with the first aspect, there are multiple light curtain assemblies 6, each light curtain assembly 6 includes a receiving end and a transmitting end; the receiving end and the transmitting end are arranged opposite to each other;

[0043] At least two light curtain assemblies 6 are arranged on the bottom inner wall of the inner groove.

[0044] In this embodiment, the light curtain assembly 6 is embedded in the accommodation space 3 of the integrated sink. The installation method can also be fixed by drilling holes, sputtered on the inner wall of the inner tank 1, integrated, etc. This is only an example and is not limited herein.

[0045] It can be understood that due to the design of the upper opening of the integrated sink, the light curtain assembly 6 is arranged on the four side walls of the inner tank 1. When arranging this device, at least two groups of light curtain assemblies 6 need to be distributed on the bottom inner wall of the inner tank 1. The middle and upper parts can be added according to requirements. According to the different depths of the inner tank, multiple pairs of light curtain assemblies can be set at the length and width edges of the inner tank according to actual needs. The model, quantity, size, distance between adjacent light curtain assemblies 6, and installation position of the light curtain assembly 6 can all be selected and adjusted according to actual usage requirements and are not limited herein.

[0046] In this embodiment, at least two groups of light curtain assemblies 6 should be provided on the bottom inner wall of the inner tank 1 to monitor the length and width dimensions of the item to be thawed, and at least one group of light curtain assemblies 6 should also be provided on the lateral inner wall of the inner tank 1 to monitor the height dimension. It can be understood that as the number of light curtain assemblies 6 increases, the monitored area covered is larger; the smaller the distance between adjacent light curtain assemblies 6, the higher the monitoring accuracy. This is only an example and is not limited herein.

[0047] For the i-th light curtain assembly 6, the transmitting end of this light curtain assembly 6 emits a waveform with a frequency of fi. At the same time, the waveform fi' received by the receiving end of this light curtain assembly 6 satisfies (fi - xi) < fi' < (fi + xi), where xi is the waveform tolerance value of the i-th light curtain assembly 6.

[0048] At this time, it can be determined that no item to be thawed is detected at the position where the i-th group of light curtain assemblies is located. On the contrary, if the receiving end monitors that some signals are incorrect or there is no signal, but other parts receive waveforms, it proves that there is an item to be thawed in the monitoring area of this i-th group of light curtain assemblies and the unilateral length can be determined.

[0049] Similarly, by combining all the light curtain assemblies 6 provided on the inner wall of the bottom inner tank 1 and the side wall of the inner tank 1, the length, width, and height of the item to be thawed in the inner tank 1 can be obtained, and then the approximate volume of the item to be thawed can be estimated. When the machine is powered on and the user operates a function or logic that requires judging the thawing state of the integrated sink, n groups of light curtain assemblies 6 can be controlled simultaneously for monitoring, and the volume of the item to be thawed can be quickly and accurately judged.

[0050] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the inner groove 1 is a rectangular structure, and the inner groove 1 includes first to fourth side walls connected in sequence. If the number of light curtain assemblies 6 on the inner wall of the bottom is 2, then the receiving end of the first light curtain assembly 6 is arranged on the first side wall and the sending end is arranged on the third side wall; the receiving end of the second light curtain assembly 6 is arranged on the second side wall and the sending end is arranged on the fourth side wall, or the receiving end of the second light curtain assembly 6 is arranged on the fourth side wall and the sending end is arranged on the second side wall.

[0051] It can be understood that the shape of the inner groove 1 can also be circular, as long as the receiving end and the transmitting end of the light curtain assembly 6 are opposite to each other.

[0052] In combination with the first aspect, the heat dissipation mechanism includes a radiator 4, which is arranged in the lateral accommodating space 3. Multiple radiators 4 are connected in sequence along the height direction. The water inlet of the radiator 4 located at the top is connected to the water inlet of the integrated water tank; the water outlet of the radiator 4 located at the bottom is connected to the lower computer through a pipeline, and a water pump is provided on the pipeline.

[0053] In this embodiment, the radiator 4 is arranged in the accommodating space 3. The main function of the radiator 4 is to transfer the heat generated by the heating mechanism 5 to the inner tank 1 to improve the uniformity of heating of the items to be thawed, thereby improving the thawing effect and efficiency. In addition, the heat dissipation medium is a fluid, which can play a role of long-term heat preservation and water bath heating, thereby improving the heat preservation effect.

[0054] In addition, in the present embodiment, the radiator 4 is connected with the lower computer pipeline, and the radiator 4 can be used as a backup water tank through a water pump to transport the water in the radiator 4 to the lower computer, thereby reducing the impact of sudden water outages at home that cause the lower computer to not work properly and the need for users to repeatedly pump water from the water tank to replenish water due to water shortage, thereby improving user experience and truly reducing users' redundant time in the kitchen.

[0055] In combination with the first aspect, the integrated water tank further includes: a water level detector, which is arranged in the radiator 4 and is used to detect the water level in the radiator 4 .

[0056] In combination with the first aspect, the lower machine is a dishwasher, the water inlet of the integrated water tank is connected to the water inlet of the dishwasher through a breather and a water softener, the radiator 4 is arranged in the lateral accommodation space and the bottom accommodation space 3, and the water outlet of the radiator 4 at the bottom is connected to the water inlet of the breather through a pipeline; Figure 2 As shown, the heating mechanism 5 is located outside the radiator 4 .

[0057] When the lower machine is a dishwasher, the radiator 4 is arranged in the lateral accommodating space 3 and the bottom accommodating space 3. The radiator 4 is located on the inner side of the heating mechanism 5. The multiple radiator pipes arranged in the lateral accommodating space 3 are connected, that is, the radiators 4 are connected in sequence along the height direction. The water inlet of the top radiator 4 is the water inlet of the integrated water tank, and the water inlet is connected to the water inlet of the dishwasher below through a breather and a hose. The water outlet of the bottom radiator 4 is the drain outlet of the integrated water tank, and the drain outlet is connected to the breather water inlet pipe in the dishwasher through a pipeline. A drainage pump is arranged on the connecting pipeline, and the drainage of the radiator is achieved through the drainage pump.

[0058] It can be understood that the water inlet of the radiator 4 on the side wall of the dishwasher integrated water tank is at the upper part, and water can be ensured to flow from high to low when filling water, ensuring that the radiator 4 in the integrated water tank side wall accommodating space 3 and the bottom accommodating space 3 are both filled with water; at the same time, the water inlet is connected to the dishwasher water inlet below through a breather and a water softener. After the water at the dishwasher water inlet passes through the breather and the water softener, the water flow rate can be calculated. At the same time, a water level detection is provided inside the radiator 4 to ensure that the radiator 4 is filled with water but not overflowing.

[0059] The main function of a dishwasher is to wash tableware, and a large amount of washing water will be generated during its operation. Therefore, in order to improve the effectiveness and service life of the light curtain monitoring, the light curtain assembly 6 needs to have a waterproof function. It can be understood that the light curtain assembly 6 appears in groups. The light curtain assembly 6 includes a transmitting end and a receiving end, which are arranged opposite to each other. In this embodiment, the light curtain assembly 6 is embedded in the accommodating space 3 of the integrated water tank, and a groove is formed on the peripheral structure of the light curtain to avoid the retention of residual water.

[0060] At the same time, an exhaust valve 41 and a plug 42 can be added to the radiator 4. By opening the exhaust valve 41 and sealing the plug 42, the air in the radiator 4 can be completely discharged to form a pressure difference before the water pump works to fill the radiator 4 with water. In this way, when the water pump is started to fill the radiator 4 with water, the water inflow is smoother, ensuring that the water can fill the inside of the radiator 4.

[0061] When the lower machine is a dishwasher, the thawing process is as follows:

[0062] First, the user issues a thawing instruction, and the thawing mode (such as quick thawing, normal thawing, ultra-fast thawing, etc.) and thawing effect (such as full thawing, half thawing, seven-part thawing, etc.) selected by the user are determined according to the thawing instruction. The control area MCU communicates with the light curtain in real time. The control area MCU determines whether food is put into the integrated water tank according to the signal detected by the light curtain. If not, the work will not be started and the user will be prompted to put the food in to confirm that there are items to be thawed in the inner tank; if there are food, the volume of the food is calculated in real time according to the monitoring data of the light curtain assembly 6, and the database is retrieved to recommend the temperature and time of this thawing according to the volume of the item and the thawing effect selected by the user. The user decides whether to use the integrated water tank for intelligent thawing.

[0063] If the user decides to use the intelligent defrosting mode, first determine whether the radiator 4 is used as a backup water tank, and monitor the water level in the radiator 4. If there is no water or the water level is low, start the water pump to replenish water to the radiator 4; if the water level is high, turn off the water pump and stop replenishing water to the radiator 4.

[0064] After that, the heating mechanism 5 is started for a period of time (preferably 5 minutes) and the temperature sensor determines whether the temperature has reached the thawing temperature. If the thawing temperature has been reached, the heating mechanism 5 periodically heats to ensure constant temperature. If the thawing temperature has not been reached, the heating mechanism 5 continues to heat to the thawing temperature and continues to operate until the expected thawing effect is achieved and the thawing mode is exited, or the thawing time is reached. If the thawing time is reached and the thawing effect is stopped, the thawing effect is judged at this time. If the thawing effect is not ideal, a reminder is given to suggest thawing again.

[0065] In addition, if the user decides not to use the intelligent defrosting mode, the defrosting is performed at the defrosting time and defrosting temperature set by the user. The process is similar to the above. When there is sufficient water in the radiator 4, the thawing is performed by heating to evenly conduct heat through the water flow in the radiator 4 to improve the thawing effect. However, due to the instability of the thawing temperature and temperature time set by the user, if the thawing temperature is set to be low, the thawing process may still be slow when the thawing time set by the user has been reached, resulting in an unsatisfactory thawing effect. At this time, the thawing mode is exited and a reminder to thaw again is given; if the thawing time set by the user is too long, the food may have been thawed to the expected thawing effect before the thawing time has been reached. If the thawing is continued, it may easily cause over-thawing or even heating. At this time, the buzzer should be activated to remind the user.

[0066] In addition, the radiator 4 serves as a backup water tank when the dishwasher is washing, which can ensure that the dishwasher operates safely and effectively with sufficient water, and also provides users with a simple way to solve the problem of temporary water shortage.

[0067] Specifically, a washing instruction is received and then the corresponding washing mode is determined according to the instruction. Before preparing to start washing, the system will check whether there is enough water in the dishwasher. If the water is insufficient, the system will further check whether there is enough water in the radiator. If there is no water in the radiator, the dishwasher cannot be replenished with water. At this time, the current washing mode will be stopped, and a water shortage prompt message will be sent to the user, informing the user that water needs to be replenished before continuing the operation; if there is enough water in the integrated sink, the water pump will be started to draw water from the radiator and transport it to the dishwasher until the water level in the dishwasher reaches the preset standard amount. Once the water level in the dishwasher reaches the requirement, the system will start or continue to run the washing program according to the previously selected washing mode.

[0068] In combination with the first aspect, the integrated water tank further includes: a heat dissipation fan 7 , which is arranged in the accommodating space 3 at the bottom, and the heat dissipation fan 7 is located outside the heating mechanism 5 .

[0069] In combination with the first aspect, the lower machine is a steam-bake integrated machine, and the radiator 4 is arranged in the lateral accommodation space 3. Figure 3 As shown, the heat dissipation fan 7 is arranged in the accommodating space 3 at the bottom; the radiator 4 and the heat dissipation fan 7 are respectively arranged on the outside of the heating mechanism 5.

[0070] At this time, the integrated water sink only has a radiator 4 in the accommodating space 3 at the bottom. The water inlet and outlet of the radiator 4 are connected to the water tank of the steam-bake combination machine. The water exchange between the radiator 4 and the water tank can be achieved through the water inlet pump and the water outlet pump.

[0071] Since the volume of the water tank is fixed, it is recommended that the volume of the water tank ≥ the volume of the radiator full of water during factory design. In addition, since the volume of the steam oven water tank is fixed and the water tank needs to be manually refilled by the user, in order to improve the user experience and reduce the situation where the machine reports water shortage, and also to improve the defrosting effect of the integrated water tank, and because the area of ​​the bottom of the integrated water tank that is in direct contact with the food when the user defrosts the food is larger, a radiator is only added to the bottom of the steam oven integrated water tank.

[0072] In combination with the first aspect, the water outlet of the radiator 4 located at the bottom among the multiple radiators 4 is connected to the water inlet of the water tank of the steam-bake combination machine through a first pipeline, and a water inlet pump is provided on the first pipeline;

[0073] The water inlet of the radiator 4 located at the top among the multiple radiators 4 is connected to the water outlet of the water tank of the steam-bake combination machine through a second pipeline, and a water pump is arranged on the second pipeline.

[0074] The water in the water tank can be transported to the radiator 4 by the water pump. Similarly, the water in the radiator 4 can be transported to the water tank by the water inlet pump.

[0075] Its thawing process is similar to that of a dishwasher with an integrated sink. When the steam-bake machine performs steaming and baking tasks, first, the steam-bake machine receives the cooking instructions input by the user and determines the corresponding cooking mode based on these instructions. Then, the cooking device controls the various components inside it (such as the heating device, fan, etc.) to start working according to the selected cooking mode. During the steaming and baking process, if it is detected that there is a lack of water in the water tank connected to the steam-bake machine, the system will check the attribute information of the radiator 4 to see if the radiator 4 is configured as a spare water tank. If it is confirmed that the radiator 4 is a spare water tank, when the water level in the cooking device is low, the control system will start the drainage pump in the integrated sink to transport water from the spare water tank (i.e., radiator 4) to the water tank for replenishment.

[0076] After that, the system checks again whether the water tank has been successfully filled with water. If the water tank has enough water, the cooking equipment components are controlled to operate in cooking mode to complete the cooking process. However, if the water tank is still short of water, the system will display a warning message to remind the user that the water tank is short of water and immediately stop the operation of all cooking components to prevent damage to the equipment due to lack of water.

[0077] In this way, the steam-bake combination machine can be ensured to operate in a safe and effective state.

[0078] On the second aspect, the present application provides an integrated water tank control system, including: an integrated water tank body and the above-mentioned integrated water tank, the integrated water tank is arranged on the top of the integrated water tank body, and a lower computer is arranged under the integrated water tank; the control unit of the lower computer is communicated with the heating mechanism 5 in the integrated water tank, the light curtain assembly 6 and the water level detection meter in the radiator 4, and the water pump corresponding to the radiator 4.

[0079] Combination Figure 4 As shown, the control unit obtains monitoring data through the light curtain assembly 6 to obtain the size parameters of the object to be thawed, and then calculates the volume of the object to be thawed; and judges the thawing effect according to the volume change. The control unit obtains the water level in the radiator through the water level detector, controls the operation of the water pump to replenish water to the radiator 4, and controls the operation of the heating mechanism 5 to generate heat to perform the thawing task. The control unit is connected to the temperature sensor to obtain the temperature data in the inner tank 1 in real time.

[0080] In combination with the first aspect, the control unit is also communicatively connected to the sound and light prompt module and the buzzer.

[0081] By controlling the sound and light prompt module to execute different sound and light prompt modes and the buzzer to run to convey different thawing results to the user, the edge user can quickly understand the thawing situation and make timely adjustments.

[0082] In a third aspect, the present application provides a control unit, in combination with Figure 5As shown, the control unit includes a memory 131 and a processor 130. The memory 131 is used to store computer programs, and the processor 130 runs the computer programs to enable the electronic device to perform the above method.

[0083] Furthermore, combined with Figure 5 The control unit shown further includes a bus 132 and a communication interface 133 , and the processor 130 , the communication interface 133 and the memory 131 are connected via the bus 132 .

[0084] The memory 131 may include a high-speed random access memory (RAM), and may also include a non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage. The communication connection between the system network element and at least one other network element is realized through at least one communication interface 133 (which may be wired or wireless), and the Internet, wide area network, local area network, metropolitan area network, etc. may be used. The bus 132 may be an ISA bus, a PCI bus, or an EISA bus, etc. The bus may be divided into an address bus, a data bus, a control bus, etc. For ease of representation, Figure 5 Only one bidirectional arrow is used in the diagram, but this does not mean that there is only one bus or only one type of bus.

[0085] The processor 130 may be an integrated circuit chip with signal processing capabilities.
