Existing household washing appliances (such as dishwashers and washing machines) are equipped with TDS detection sensors to judge the cleanliness of the items being washed according to the turbidity of the water during the washing process and set the current cleaning operation mode based on the judgment result.

[0003] However, the existing TDS detection sensors for household washing appliances (such as dishwashers and washing machines) occupy a large position, have an insufficiently compact structure, complex assembly, and the components of the TDS detection sensor for temperature detection often suffer from distortion due to the temperature generated by the sensor itself and / or the temperature change of the cleaning medium is determined too slowly due to the structure of the sensor itself.

Detailed implementation manners

[0038] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and functions of the present invention easy to understand, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific implementation manners.

[0039] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, a TDS detection device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a transparent housing 1. A probe holder 2 is installed inside the transparent housing 1. A plurality of probe bodies 201 are arranged inside the probe holder 2. One end of the probe holder 2 is connected to a wire, and the other end is inserted into a through hole on the surface of the transparent housing 1. An upper cover 3 is installed above the transparent housing 1;

[0040] A 2p connector is connected inside the transparent housing 1. The wire is connected to the probe holder and the 2p connector. The 2p connector is used to connect to an external circuit; A potting resin is provided at the installation connection between the probe holder 2 and the transparent housing 1;

[0041] A PCB board assembly 4 is provided on the outer side of the transparent housing 1. The PCB board assembly 4 includes an infrared emitting tube 401 and an infrared receiving tube 402;

[0042] A plurality of clamping blocks are provided on the outer side wall of the upper cover 3, and two through holes are provided in the middle of the upper cover 3. A square groove with a notch is provided above the through holes; An O-ring is provided outside the transparent housing 1.

[0043] During operation, the TDS detection device according to the embodiment of the present invention is installed at an appropriate detection position through the clamping blocks and through holes on the outer side wall of the transparent housing 1, and the probe holder 2 and the probe bodies 201 are immersed in the liquid to be detected. Then, the infrared emitting tube 401 emits infrared light, and the probe bodies 201 guide the infrared light into the liquid. The infrared receiving tube 402 receives the optical signal transmitted through the water body. Thus, the turbidity of the water is detected by the change in light intensity;

[0044] At the same time, the probe bodies 201 also indirectly detect the total dissolved solid content in the water by measuring the conductivity of the liquid. The probe bodies 201 transmit the collected physical signals such as optical signals, resistance values, and conductivity to the signal processor on the PCB board through wires or connectors. The signal processor amplifies, filters, and digitally processes the signals transmitted by the probes, and finally outputs available detection data. Such a design enables the TDS detection device of the present invention to have the functions of detecting the turbidity, temperature, and water quality of water, with stable output signals and high detection sensitivity.

[0045] Moreover, an O-ring and potting resin are designed to ensure the reliability of the TDS detection device according to the embodiment of the present invention in a humid environment and prevent liquid from entering the internal circuit;

[0046] The PCB board assembly 4 further includes a thermistor 403 mounted on the pads on the surface of its body. Tripartite signal processors 404 are provided on both sides of the PCB board assembly 4. It should be noted that 2p pin socket welding holes and 3p pin socket welding holes are provided on the surface of the PCB board assembly 4. The pins of the 2p pin socket pass through the welding holes in the middle of the PCB board, and the pins of the 3p pin socket pass through the welding holes in the upper part of the PCB board. An adjusting mechanism is provided inside the transparent housing 1, and the adjusting mechanism is used to adjust the angle of the probe holder.

[0047] During operation, when the probe body 201 is placed inside the liquid to be detected, the temperature of the liquid can be detected through the thermistor 403, and the resistance value is changed according to the change of the liquid temperature, and is converted into a temperature signal through the circuit. Finally, the collected physical signals such as optical signals, resistance values, and conductivity are transmitted to the tripartite signal processor 404 on the PCB board, so that the turbidity, temperature, and water quality of the liquid can be detected quickly and accurately.

[0048] Specifically, the probe body 201 can be divided into a turbidity probe, a temperature probe, a TDS probe, etc.

[0049] In summary, by providing the transparent housing 1 assembly with a probe assembly, the thermistor 403 on the PCB board, and the tripartite signal processing circuit, the TDS detection device of the present invention has the functions of detecting the turbidity, temperature, and water quality of water, with stable output signals, high detection sensitivity, a compact structure, a small external dimension, and simple installation.

[0050] As Figures 3 to 10 shown, an assembly rack 6 is installed inside the transparent housing 1. The probe holder 2 is clamped inside the assembly rack 6. The adjusting mechanism includes a fixed ring 7 provided inside the assembly rack 6. A connecting shaft 701 is provided on the side wall of the fixed ring 7. The connecting shaft 701 can rotate at a certain angle on the side wall of the fixed ring 7. An assembly groove 8 is provided at a position corresponding to the connecting shaft 701 on the side wall of the probe holder 2. The shape of the assembly groove 8 is adapted to the shape of the connecting shaft 701.

[0051] During operation, since the liquid temperature, turbidity, and TDS at different positions are different, in order to improve the detection accuracy of the liquid, it is often necessary to adjust the probe body 201, that is, adjust the angle of the probe body 201 inside the liquid to be detected. Therefore, the present invention further proposes the following embodiments: Refer to the attached Figure 6As shown, specifically during normal use, the connecting shaft 701 is located inside the assembly groove 8, that is, the connecting shaft 701 fixes the probe holder 2 through the assembly groove 8, and the probe body 201 is located inside the liquid to be detected. When it is necessary to detect the turbidity distribution of the liquid at different positions, by rotating the connecting shaft 701 at a certain angle in the fixed ring 7, the connecting shaft 701 drives the probe holder 2 to rotate, so that the probe holder 2 drives the probe body 201 to rotate to a certain angle in the liquid. In this way, the detection of liquids at different positions can be realized, and the detection accuracy in multiple aspects of the liquid is improved;

[0052] A limiting ring groove 702 is formed in the side wall of the fixed ring 7. The groove wall of the limiting ring groove 702 is rotatably connected with a driving block 703. A magnetic block 704 is installed on the side wall of the driving block 703. An electromagnetic block 705 is installed on the groove wall of the limiting ring groove 702 and on the side away from the magnetic block 704. The magnetism generated by the electromagnetic block 705 is the same as the magnetism of the magnetic block 704. The side wall of the driving block 703 is connected to the side wall of the connecting shaft 701;

[0053] During operation, referring to the attached Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the driving block 703 is located on the groove wall of the limiting ring groove 702. When it is necessary to detect the turbidity distribution of the liquid at different positions, the electromagnetic block 705 is controlled to be energized and generate magnetism. The generated magnetism is the same as the magnetism of the magnetic block 704. According to the principle of like poles repelling each other, the magnetic block 704 will rotate to the side away from the electromagnetic block 705, that is, the magnetic block 704 will drive the driving block 703 to move on the inner wall of the limiting ring groove 702. After that, the driving block 703 will drive the connecting shaft 701 to rotate at a certain angle. In this way, the connecting shaft 701 can drive the probe holder 2 to rotate at a certain angle in the liquid, improving the detection accuracy of the liquid TDS;

[0054] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present invention, the moving angle of the driving block 703 in the limiting ring groove 702 can be adjusted by controlling the magnetic size of the electromagnetic block 705, further improving the detection accuracy of the liquid TDS.

[0055] Since the TDS detection indirectly reflects the content of dissolved solids in water by measuring the conductivity of water, the measurement of conductivity depends on the current between the electrodes, and the magnitude of the current is affected by the ion concentration and distribution in the water body. By changing the angle of the probe, the measurement path between the electrodes can be optimized, making the current path more uniform, thereby improving the measurement accuracy.

[0056] Such as Figures 4 to 8As shown, an annular groove 706 is formed in the inner wall of the limit ring groove 702. The bottom of the driving block 703 is disposed on the inner wall of the annular groove 706. A limit spring 707 is installed on the inner wall of the annular groove 706. One side of the limit spring 707 away from the annular groove 706 is connected to the side wall of the driving block 703. An irregular-shaped sleeve 9 is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting shaft 701. The irregular-shaped sleeve 9 has a large diameter at one end and a small diameter at the other end. The material of the irregular-shaped sleeve 9 is rubber. A plurality of rubber balls are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the irregular-shaped sleeve 9.

[0057] During operation, referring to the attached Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, since the irregular-shaped sleeve 9 has a large diameter at one end and a small diameter at the other end and its material is rubber, it can ensure that the irregular-shaped sleeve 9 is tightly stuck in the assembly groove 8, thereby fixing the probe holder 2. When the connecting shaft 701 rotates, it can drive the probe holder 2 to rotate at a certain angle through the irregular-shaped sleeve 9, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the probe body 201 itself. Moreover, the limit spring 707 and the annular groove 706 are designed to further limit the moving position of the driving block 703, which is convenient for the adjustment of the probe holder 2, and the limit spring 707 is convenient for the probe holder 2 to return.

[0058] A rectangular groove 10 is formed in the inner horizontal plane of the assembly frame 6. A sliding rod 11 is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the rectangular groove 10. The side wall of the fixed ring 7 is connected to the end of the sliding rod 11. A linkage unit is provided on the side of the probe holder 2. The linkage unit is used to drive the sliding rod 11 to move towards the inside of the assembly groove 8. During operation, when the connecting shaft 701 is not inside the assembly groove 8, the staff can take out the probe holder 2 at this time, so as to replace different probe bodies 201, which can improve the practicability of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0059] After the replacement of the probe body 201 is completed and it needs to be installed into the assembly frame 6 again, the probe holder 2 is slid down along the groove in the middle of the assembly frame 6 at this time, so that the linkage unit on the side of the probe holder 2 drives the sliding rod 11 to move. Since the fixed ring 7 is fixedly installed at the end of the sliding rod 11, the sliding rod 11 will drive the fixed ring 7 and the connecting shaft 701 to move at the same time. When the probe holder 2 moves to an appropriate position, the connecting shaft 701 just enters the inside of the assembly groove 8 at this time, so as to realize the rapid installation of the probe holder 2 and facilitate the replacement of different probes.

[0060] As Figures 4 to 11 shown, the linkage unit includes a pressure plate 12 fixedly installed above the probe holder 2. A guide groove 13 is formed in the vertical surface of the assembly frame 6. An L-shaped pressure rod 131 is slidably disposed on the groove wall of the guide groove 13.

[0061] A guide groove II 14 is formed on the outer surface of the sliding rod 11. The lower end surface of the pressure plate 12 contacts the upper end surface of the L-shaped pressure rod 131. An arc-shaped block I 141 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the guide groove II 14. An arc-shaped block II 151 is installed on the outer wall of the L-shaped pressure rod 131 near the lower side. The lower end of the L-shaped pressure rod 131 is slidably disposed inside the guide groove II 14. When the L-shaped pressure rod 131 moves along the guide groove II 14, the arc-shaped block I 141 will contact the arc-shaped block II 151;

[0062] During operation, when the probe holder 2 slides downward along the groove in the middle of the assembly rack 6, the probe holder 2 will drive the pressure plate 12 to move downward at the same time. When the pressure plate 12 moves downward, its lower end surface will squeeze the upper end surface of the L-shaped pressure rod 131. Thus, the L-shaped pressure rod 131 will move along the guide groove I 13, and the lower end of the L-shaped pressure rod 131 will move inside the guide groove II 14. Subsequently, the arc-shaped block II 151 on the outer wall of the L-shaped pressure rod 131 will contact the arc-shaped block I 141, and the arc-shaped block II 151 will squeeze the arc-shaped block I 141. Under the pressure of the arc-shaped block I 141, the sliding rod 11 will move a certain distance, that is, the sliding rod 11 will drive the fixed ring 7 and the connecting shaft 701 to move at the same time. When the probe holder 2 moves to a suitable position, at this time, the connecting shaft 701 also just enters the inside of the assembly groove 8, so that the rapid installation of the probe holder 2 can be realized.

[0063] The arc-shaped block I 141 and the arc-shaped block II 151 are both semi-circular in shape. The diameter of the arc-shaped block I 141 is larger than that of the arc-shaped block II 151. A spherical seat 132 is provided at the contact position between the upper end surface of the L-shaped pressure rod 131 and the lower end surface of the pressure plate 12, and the spherical seat 132 is ball-jointed to the upper end surface of the L-shaped pressure rod 131;

[0064] During operation, since the diameter of the arc-shaped block I 141 is larger than that of the arc-shaped block II 151, it is convenient for the sliding rod 11 to drive the fixed ring 7 and the connecting shaft 701 to move into the inside of the assembly groove 8. Moreover, since a spherical seat 132 is provided at the contact position between the upper end surface of the L-shaped pressure rod 131 and the lower end surface of the pressure plate 12, when the probe holder 2 rotates, the probe holder 2 will drive the pressure plate 12 to rotate at the same time. The pressure plate 12 contacts the spherical seat 132, and the pressure plate 12 can rotate on the outer surface of the spherical seat 132, which is convenient for the arc-shaped block II 151 on the outer wall of the L-shaped pressure rod 131 to press against the arc-shaped block I 141.

[0065] An elastic telescopic rod 16 is fixedly installed on the groove wall of the rectangular groove 10. The side of the elastic telescopic rod 16 away from the rectangular groove 10 is connected to the side wall of the sliding rod 11. A telescopic spring is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the elastic telescopic rod 16. A chuck 133 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the L-shaped pressure rod 131. A card slot 134 is formed on the groove wall of the guide groove I 13;

[0066] It should be noted that the elastic potential energy of the elastic telescopic rod 16 and the telescopic spring on its surface is greater than the clamping force of the chuck 133 clamped inside the clamping groove 134;

[0067] During operation, when the sliding rod 11 moves closer to the inside of the assembly groove 8, the sliding rod 11 will simultaneously drive the elastic telescopic rod 16 to stretch. When the connecting shaft 701 moves to the inside of the assembly groove 8, the chuck 133 on the outer wall of the L-shaped pressure rod 131 just snaps into the inside of the clamping groove 134. At this time, under the mutual limitation of the chuck 133 and the clamping groove 134, the stability of the L-shaped pressure rod 131 can be maintained for a certain period of time, thus facilitating the rotation of the probe holder 2;

[0068] When the probe body 201 needs to be replaced, first pull the probe holder 2 upward by a certain distance, that is, first make the arc-shaped block two 151 away from the arc-shaped block one 141. Since the elastic potential energy of the elastic telescopic rod 16 and the telescopic spring on its surface is greater than the clamping force of the chuck 133 clamped inside the clamping groove 134, the elastic telescopic rod 16 will first drive the sliding rod 11 away from the assembly groove 8, that is, the connecting shaft 701 first moves away from the assembly groove 8. At this time, the probe holder 2 is no longer clamped, so the probe holder 2 can be taken out upward, and the operation is relatively convenient and simple.

[0069] A cleaning ring 17 is arranged inside the mounting frame 6. A plurality of groups of the cleaning rings 17 are provided, and the probe body 201 passes through the inside of the cleaning ring 17; During operation, after the liquid is detected once and the probe body 201 needs to be replaced, that is, when the probe body 201 is taken out from the cleaning ring 17, under the action of the cleaning ring 17, the scale and other impurities existing on the surface of the probe body 201 can be cleaned, so that the attachment of dirt and water stains on the surface of the probe body 201 can be reduced, the corrosion resistance of the probe is enhanced, and the service life of the probe is prolonged;

[0070] Moreover, it can prevent dirt or impurities from affecting the optical path and electrical signals, ensuring the accuracy of the detection results.

[0071] An adsorption pad is sleeved on the inner wall of the cleaning ring 17, and the material of the chuck 133 is rubber; During operation, the cleaning ring 17 is designed, which can not only play a guiding role for the probe body 201, facilitate the taking out and re-placement of the probe body 201, but also clean the probe body 201 when it is put in and taken out, ensuring the detection of the liquid TDS.

[0072] During operation, when the probe body 201 is placed inside the liquid to be detected, the temperature of the liquid can be detected through the thermistor 403. The resistance value changes according to the change in the liquid temperature and is converted into a temperature signal through a circuit. Finally, the collected physical signals such as optical signals, resistance values, and conductivity are transmitted to the three-in-one signal processor 404 on the PCB board. In this way, the turbidity, temperature, and water quality of the liquid can be detected quickly and accurately. By setting the transparent housing 1 assembly with the probe assembly, the thermistor 403 on the PCB board, and the three-in-one signal processing circuit, the turbidity sensor has the functions of detecting the turbidity, temperature, and water quality of water, with stable output signals, high detection sensitivity, a compact structure, a small overall dimension, and simple installation.

[0073] The connecting shaft 701 is located inside the assembly groove 8, and the probe body 201 is located inside the liquid to be detected. When it is necessary to detect liquids at different positions, the connecting shaft 701 and the probe bracket 2 are driven to rotate by the fixing ring 7, so that the probe bracket 2 drives the probe body 201 to rotate to a certain angle. In this way, the detection of liquids at different positions can be realized, and the detection accuracy in multiple aspects of the liquid is improved. Refer to the appendix Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, when the connecting shaft 701 is located inside the assembly groove 8, the special-shaped sleeve 9 with a larger diameter at one end is also located inside the assembly groove 8. When the special-shaped sleeve 9 is tightly pressed inside the assembly groove 8 and its material is rubber, it can ensure that during the rotation of the connecting shaft 701, it can drive the probe bracket 2 to rotate at a certain angle through the special-shaped sleeve 9. In this way, it is convenient to adjust the probe body 201 itself. When the connecting shaft 701 is not inside the assembly groove 8, at this time, the staff can take out the probe bracket 2 to replace different probe bodies 201, so as to improve the practicability of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0074] After the replacement of the probe body 201 is completed, when it needs to be installed inside the assembly frame 6 again, at this time, the probe bracket 2 is slid down along the groove in the middle of the assembly frame 6, so that the linkage unit on the side of the probe bracket 2 drives the sliding rod 11 to move. Since the fixing ring 7 is fixedly installed at the end of the sliding rod 11, the sliding rod 11 will drive the fixing ring 7 and the connecting shaft 701 to move at the same time. When the probe bracket 2 moves to an appropriate position, at this time, the connecting shaft 701 just enters the assembly groove 8. In this way, the quick installation of the probe bracket 2 can be realized.

[0075] When the probe holder 2 slides down along the groove in the middle of the assembly rack 6, the probe holder 2 will drive the pressure plate 12 to move downward at the same time. When the pressure plate 12 moves downward, the lower end surface of the pressure plate 12 will squeeze the upper end surface of the L-shaped pressure rod 131. As a result, the L-shaped pressure rod 131 will move along the first guiding groove 13, and the lower end of the L-shaped pressure rod 131 will move in the second guiding groove 14. Subsequently, the arc-shaped block two 151 on the outer wall of the L-shaped pressure rod 131 will contact the arc-shaped block one 141, and the arc-shaped block two 151 will squeeze the arc-shaped block one 141. Under the pressure of the arc-shaped block one 141, the sliding rod 11 will move a certain distance, that is, the sliding rod 11 will drive the fixed ring 7 and the connecting shaft 701 to move at the same time. When the probe holder 2 moves to an appropriate position, at this time the connecting shaft 701 also just enters the inside of the assembly groove 8, so as to realize the rapid installation of the probe holder 2;

[0076] Since the diameter of the arc-shaped block one 141 is larger than the diameter of the arc-shaped block two 151, it is convenient for the sliding rod 11 to drive the fixed ring 7 and the connecting shaft 701 to move into the inside of the assembly groove 8. Moreover, since a spherical seat 132 is provided at the contact position between the upper end surface of the L-shaped pressure rod 131 and the lower end surface of the pressure plate 12, when the probe holder 2 rotates, the probe holder 2 will drive the pressure plate 12 to rotate at the same time. The pressure plate 12 contacts the spherical seat 132, and the pressure plate 12 can rotate on the outer surface of the spherical seat 132, which is convenient for the arc-shaped block two 151 on the outer wall of the L-shaped pressure rod 131 to press against the arc-shaped block one 141; when the sliding rod 11 moves closer to the inside of the assembly groove 8, the sliding rod 11 will drive the elastic telescopic rod 16 to stretch at the same time. When the connecting shaft 701 moves into the inside of the assembly groove 8, at this time the chuck 133 on the outer wall of the L-shaped pressure rod 131 just snaps into the inside of the card slot 134. At this time, under the mutual limitation of the chuck 133 and the card slot 134, the stability of the L-shaped pressure rod 131 can be maintained for a certain period of time, so as to facilitate the rotation of the probe holder 2;

[0077] When the probe body 201 needs to be replaced, first pull the probe bracket 2 upward by a certain distance, that is, first make the second arc-shaped block 151 away from the first arc-shaped block 141. Since the elastic potential energy of the elastic telescopic rod 16 and the telescopic spring on its surface is greater than the clamping force of the chuck 133 clamped inside the clamping groove 134, the elastic telescopic rod 16 will first drive the sliding rod 11 away from the assembly groove 8, that is, the connecting shaft 701 will first move away from the assembly groove 8. At this time, the probe bracket 2 is no longer clamped, so the probe bracket 2 can be taken out upward, and the operation is relatively convenient and simple; when it is necessary to detect the turbidity distribution of the liquid at different positions, control the electromagnet 705 to be charged and generate magnetism, and the generated magnetism is the same as that of the magnetic block 704. According to the principle of like repulsion, the magnetic block 704 will rotate to the side away from the electromagnet 705, that is, the magnetic block 704 will drive the driving block 703 to move on the inner wall of the limiting ring groove 702. After that, the driving block 703 will drive the connecting shaft 701 to rotate at a certain angle. In this way, the connecting shaft 701 can drive the probe bracket 2 to rotate at a certain angle in the liquid, improving the detection accuracy of the liquid TDS; it should be noted that in the embodiment of the present invention, the movement angle of the driving block 703 in the limiting ring groove 702 can be adjusted by controlling the magnetic strength of the electromagnet 705, further improving the detection accuracy of the liquid TDS.
