DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0029] However, as pollutants continue to accumulate, they will clog the filter, slowing down the return of the washing liquid in the sink. As the water returns slowly, the water volume in the sink does not accumulate enough, and the washing pump may become hollow during the washing process, causing the spray water pressure to drop, the spray arm speed to drop, or even stop. When the spray water pressure and spray arm speed are too low, the washing liquid's rinsing effect during the dishwashing process will drop rapidly, resulting in ineffective washing and wasted energy.
[0030] The main reason for this energy waste is that the washing pump is always in working condition during the washing stage. When the filter is blocked by pollutants, the water tank is always not full of water. At this time, the washing pump cannot obtain enough washing liquid from the water tank, which leads to the washing pump failing to achieve the ideal cleaning effect, reducing the washing efficiency and wasting energy.
[0031] Based on the above situation, the inventive concept of the washing control method applied to the dishwasher provided by the embodiment of the present application is that the controller can enable the washing pump to start and stop according to the rotation speed of the spray arm and the liquid level in the water tank, so as to ensure that there is sufficient water in the water tank during the operation of the washing pump, so that effective washing can be performed. This method reduces ineffective washing, improves the utilization rate of the washing pump, and reduces energy waste by starting and stopping the washing pump. In addition, in the present application, the controller can also perform slag treatment on the pollutants when the return water time is too long, thereby avoiding the problem of too little working time of the spray arm caused by too long return water time. At the same time, when the filter is completely blocked, the process of first replenishing water and then discharging slag treatment can be adopted to further avoid clogging of pollutants.
[0032] The controller is used as the execution subject to execute the washing control method applied to the dishwasher in the following embodiment. Specifically, the execution subject may be a hardware device of the controller, or a software application in the controller that implements the following embodiment, or a computer-readable storage medium that is installed with the software application that implements the following embodiment, or a code of the software application that implements the following embodiment.
[0033] The technical solution of the present application is described in detail with specific embodiments below. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.
[0034] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a washing control method applied to a dishwasher provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, with the controller as the execution subject, the method of this embodiment may include the following steps:
[0035] S101. During the washing process of the dishwasher, if it is determined that the working parameters of the washing pump of the dishwasher meet the first preset condition, it is determined that the liquid level of the water tank in the dishwasher is less than the first preset liquid level, and the washing pump is controlled to stop working.
[0036] In this embodiment, during the washing process of the dishwasher, the controller can obtain the working parameters of the washing pump of the dishwasher in real time. Optionally, the working parameters include at least the rotation speed of the washing pump and the power of the washing pump. The controller can determine whether the working parameters meet the first preset condition based on the working parameters. If yes, the controller can determine that the liquid level of the current dishwasher sink is less than the first preset liquid level. When the liquid level of the dishwasher sink is less than the first preset liquid level, the controller can determine that the washing liquid in the dishwasher sink cannot meet the working requirements of the dishwasher washing pump. Therefore, the controller can control the dishwasher washing pump to stop working and wait for the sink to return water.
[0037] Optionally, the first preset liquid level may be determined according to the position of the lowest liquid level detector disposed in the water tank of the dishwasher.
[0038] In one example, the first preset condition includes that the rotation speed of the washing pump is greater than zero and less than a first preset rotation speed, and the power of the washing pump is less than the first preset power.
[0039] In this example, the specific process of the controller determining whether the working parameters of the washing pump of the dishwasher meet the first preset condition may include:
[0040] The controller determines whether the speed of the washing pump is greater than zero and less than a first preset speed. The first preset speed can be a very small speed. For example, the first preset speed can be 20 revolutions. When the speed of the washing pump is less than the first preset speed, the washing pump is in an invalid washing state. The speed greater than 0 is used to determine that the washing pump is currently in a working state.
[0041] If the speed of the washing pump is greater than zero and less than the first preset speed, it means that the washing pump is in working state, but its washing behavior is invalid. At this time, the controller can further determine whether the power of the washing pump is less than the first preset power. If so, the working parameters of the washing pump meet the first preset condition.
[0042] In one example, the value of the first preset power is the set power of the washing pump minus the preset value. The set power of the washing pump is the power of the washing pump at a set speed, and the preset value is the product of the set power of the washing pump and the preset coefficient. For example, the set power may be 100 watts, and the preset coefficient is 10%, then the first preset power may be 90 watts.
[0043] When the water level in the water tank is low, the washing pump has insufficient water, the washing pump speed decreases, and the washing pump power decreases. Therefore, when the washing pump power is less than the first preset power, it means that the water level in the water tank of the dishwasher is less than the first preset level.
[0044] S102: When it is determined that the liquid level in the water tank is greater than or equal to a second preset liquid level, control the washing pump to operate so that the dishwasher performs a washing process, wherein the second preset liquid level is greater than the first preset liquid level.
[0045] In this embodiment, the controller can wait for the water in the water tank to return after controlling the washing pump to stop working. When the controller determines that the liquid level in the water tank is greater than or equal to the second preset liquid level, it can determine that the washing liquid in the water tank can meet the working requirements of the washing pump of the dishwasher. Therefore, when the controller determines that the liquid level in the water tank is greater than or equal to the second preset liquid level, the controller can control the washing pump to work. After the washing pump starts working, the dishwasher can perform washing processing.
[0046] Optionally, the second preset liquid level can be determined according to the position of the highest liquid level detector arranged in the water tank of the dishwasher. Optionally, the second preset liquid level is greater than the first preset liquid level.
[0047] The washing control method for a dishwasher provided in the present application controls the washing pump to stop working when the working parameter of the washing pump meets the first preset condition. The controller can re-control the washing pump to work after waiting for the water tank to recover from less than the first preset liquid level to the second preset liquid level, thereby ensuring that the washing pump can perform the washing operation when there is sufficient washing liquid in the water tank, thereby reducing the probability of ineffective washing, improving the washing efficiency of the washing pump, and reducing energy consumption.
[0048] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a washing control method applied to a dishwasher provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 Based on the embodiment shown, Figure 2 As shown, with the controller as the execution subject, the method of this embodiment may include the following steps:
[0049] S201: If it is determined that the working parameters of the washing pump of the dishwasher meet the second preset condition, it is determined that the washing pump is abnormal, and a first alarm message is issued, wherein the first alarm message indicates that the washing pump is abnormal.
[0050] In this embodiment, based on the first preset condition, the controller may further be provided with a second preset condition. Optionally, the second preset condition includes that the speed of the washing pump is greater than zero and less than the first preset speed, and the power of the washing pump is greater than the second preset power.
[0051] Optionally, the specific process of the controller determining whether the working parameters of the washing pump of the dishwasher meet the second preset condition may include:
[0052] The controller determines whether the speed of the washing pump is greater than zero and less than a first preset speed. The first preset speed can be a very small speed. For example, the first preset speed can be 20 revolutions. When the speed of the washing pump is less than the first preset speed, the washing pump is in an invalid washing state. The speed greater than 0 is used to determine that the washing pump is currently in a working state.
[0053] If the speed of the washing pump is greater than zero and less than the first preset speed, it means that the washing pump is in working state, but its washing behavior is invalid. At this time, the controller can further determine whether the power of the washing pump is greater than the second preset power. If so, the working parameters of the washing pump meet the second preset condition.
[0054] In one example, the second preset power is the sum of the set power of the washing pump and the preset value. The set power of the washing pump is the power of the washing pump at the set speed, and the preset value is the product of the set power of the washing pump and the preset coefficient. For example, the set power can be 100 watts, and the preset coefficient is 10%, then the second preset power can be 110 watts.
[0055] When the washing power is greater than the second preset power and the washing pump is running at a low speed, it indicates that the washing pump is blocked. At this time, the controller can determine that the washing pump is abnormal. The controller can generate a first alarm message. The first alarm message indicates that the washing pump is abnormal. Optionally, the abnormality can be a washing pump blockage.
[0056] S202: If it is determined that the operating parameters of the washing pump of the dishwasher meet the third preset condition, it is determined that the speed detection unit for detecting the speed of the washing pump is abnormal, and a second alarm message is issued, wherein the second alarm message indicates that the speed detection unit for detecting the speed of the washing pump is abnormal.
[0057] In this embodiment, based on the first preset condition and the second preset condition, a third preset condition may also be provided in the controller. Optionally, the third preset condition includes that the speed of the washing pump is greater than zero and less than the first preset speed, and the power of the washing pump is greater than or equal to the first preset power, and the power of the washing pump is less than or equal to the second preset power. Wherein, the first preset power is less than the second preset power. For example, the set power may be 100 watts, and the preset coefficient is 10%, then the first preset power may be 90 watts, and the second preset power may be 110 watts.
[0058] Optionally, the specific process of the controller determining whether the working parameters of the washing pump of the dishwasher meet the third preset condition may include:
[0059] The controller determines whether the speed of the washing pump is greater than zero and less than a first preset speed. The first preset speed can be a very small speed. For example, the first preset speed can be 20 revolutions. When the speed of the washing pump is less than the first preset speed, the washing pump is in an invalid washing state. The speed greater than 0 is used to determine that the washing pump is currently in a working state.
[0060] If the speed of the washing pump is greater than zero and less than the first preset speed, it means that the washing pump is in working state, but its washing behavior is invalid washing. At this time, the controller can further determine whether the power of the washing pump is greater than or equal to the first preset power and less than or equal to the second preset power. If yes, the working parameters of the washing pump meet the third preset condition.
[0061] When the washing power is between the first preset power and the second preset power, and the washing pump is running at a low speed, it indicates that the rotation speed detector may be abnormal. At this time, the controller can generate a second alarm message. The second alarm message indicates that the rotation speed detector is abnormal.
[0062] The washing control method applied to a dishwasher provided in the present application realizes the detection of abnormalities of a speed detector and a washing pump at low speed by setting a second preset condition and a third preset condition, thereby improving the management efficiency of the washing pump, avoiding ineffective operation of the dishwasher under abnormal conditions, improving the washing efficiency of the washing pump, and reducing energy consumption.
[0063] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a washing control method applied to a dishwasher provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 and Figure 2 Based on the embodiment shown, Figure 3 As shown, with the controller as the execution subject, the method of this embodiment may include the following steps:
[0064] S301. During the washing process of the dishwasher, if it is determined that the working parameters of the washing pump of the dishwasher meet the first preset condition, it is determined that the liquid level of the water tank in the dishwasher is less than the first preset liquid level, and the washing pump is controlled to stop working.
[0065] Among them, step S301 and Figure 2 The implementation of step S101 in the embodiment is similar and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0066] S302: When it is determined that the liquid level of the water tank is greater than or equal to the second preset liquid level, determine the first water return time of the water tank. The first water return time represents the time taken for the liquid level of the water tank to recover from less than the first preset liquid level to the second preset liquid level. If it is determined that the first water return time is greater than the first preset time, perform a first slag removal process on the contaminants on the filter screen of the dishwasher.
[0067] In this embodiment, the controller can start a timer when the washing pump stops working and waits for water to return. The timer is used to record the duration of the water return of the water tank up to the current moment.
[0068] Optionally, the controller may stop timing when the liquid level of the water tank is greater than or equal to the second preset liquid level, and use the time from the first preset liquid level to the second preset liquid level as the first water return time. In this case, the first water return time represents the time it takes for the liquid level of the water tank to recover from being less than the first preset liquid level to the second preset liquid level.
[0069] Optionally, the controller can compare the first water return time with a first preset time. If the first water return time is longer than the first preset time, it means that the contaminants in the dishwasher have blocked the filter of the water tank.
[0070] Optionally, the controller can also directly compare the first water return time recorded by the timer with the first preset time during the timer timing. If the first water return time is longer than the first preset time, the controller does not need to continue waiting for water return until the liquid level reaches the second preset liquid level. Moreover, when the first water return time is longer than the first preset time, it indicates that the contaminants in the dishwasher have seriously blocked the filter screen of the water tank.
[0071] At this time, after the controller determines that the pollutants have blocked the filter of the sink, the controller can perform a first slag removal process on the pollutants on the filter of the dishwasher.
[0072] Optionally, the first slag removal process may include the following steps:
[0073] Step 21, controlling the washing pump to stop working after starting and working for the second working time.
[0074] In this step, the controller can start and stop the washing pump for a short time. The short-time start and stop can specifically include: the controller controls the washing pump to start. The controller controls the washing pump to stop working after running for a second working time. The short-time start and stop of the washing pump can break up the pollutants attached to the filter screen and make the pollutants float. Optionally, the second working time can be a very short time. For example, the second working time can be 1s.
[0075] Step 22: Control the drainage pump in the dishwasher to stop working after starting and working for the second working time.
[0076] In this step, the controller can start and stop the drainage pump for a short time after completing the short start and stop of the washing pump. The short start and stop can specifically include: the controller controls the drainage pump to start. The controller controls the drainage pump to stop working after running for a second working time. The short start and stop of the drainage pump can enable pollutants to be quickly discharged through the sewer. Optionally, the second working time can be a very short time. For example, the second working time can be 1s.
[0077] Step 23: Control the water inlet valve of the dishwasher to open, so as to replenish the dishwasher with a first amount of clean water.
[0078] In this step, the controller can start the water inlet valve after completing the short-term start and stop of the drain pump. When the water inlet valve is started, the controller can replenish the dishwasher with a first amount of clean water. The clean water is used to supplement the clean water discharged during the short-term start and stop of the drain pump. Optionally, the first amount of water can be a smaller amount of water. 200ml.
[0079] In one example, the controller may also perform multiple first deslagging treatments on the filter screen of the dishwasher after determining that the contaminants have blocked the filter screen of the sink. The process may include the following steps:
[0080] Step 31, performing an initial first deslagging treatment on the pollutants on the filter screen of the dishwasher.
[0081] In this step, the controller may first perform a first slag removal process.
[0082] Step 32, repeat the following steps until the second water return time of the water tank is less than the second preset time: after controlling the washing pump to work within the first working time, determine the second water return time of the water tank. The second water return time represents the time taken for the liquid level of the water tank to return to the second preset liquid level. If it is determined that the second water return time is greater than the second preset time, the pollutants on the filter screen of the dishwasher are subjected to the first slag removal treatment again.
[0083] In this step, after completing the first slag removal process, the controller can control the washing pump to work for a short time, and then record the second water return time for the water tank liquid level to return to the second preset liquid level. If the second water return time is longer than the second preset time, it means that the pollutants on the filter screen of the dishwasher have not been completely cleaned. At this time, the controller can perform the first slag removal process again. If the second water return time is less than or equal to the second preset time, it means that the pollutants on the filter screen of the dishwasher have been completely cleaned. At this time, the controller can control the dishwasher to resume the normal washing process.
[0084] Optionally, the first working time length may be 1 minute. Optionally, the second preset time length may be a very short time. For example, the second preset time length may be 2 seconds, 3 seconds, etc.
[0085] Optionally, the above-mentioned cycle process may end when the second water return time is less than or equal to the second preset time. Alternatively, the above-mentioned cycle process may end when the number of cycles exceeds the upper limit. When the cycle process ends according to the number of cycles exceeding the upper limit, the controller may also send an alarm message indicating abnormal slag discharge.
[0086] S303, controlling the washing pump to operate so that the dishwasher performs washing. The second preset liquid level is greater than the first preset liquid level.
[0087] Among them, step S303 and Figure 2 The implementation of step S103 in the embodiment is similar and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0088] The washing control method applied to the dishwasher provided in the present application records the return water time to determine whether the first slag removal treatment is required, thereby effectively executing the first slag removal treatment and avoiding the problem of low washing efficiency of the dishwasher due to too long waiting time for return water.
[0089] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a washing control method applied to a dishwasher provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figures 1 to 3 Based on the embodiment shown, Figure 4 As shown, with the controller as the execution subject, the method of this embodiment may include the following steps:
[0090] S401: If it is determined that the working parameters of the washing pump of the dishwasher meet the fourth preset condition, a second deslagging process is performed on the pollutants on the filter screen of the dishwasher.
[0091] In this embodiment, based on the first preset condition, a fourth preset condition may be further provided in the controller. Optionally, the fourth preset condition includes that the rotation speed of the washing pump of the dishwasher is zero, and the liquid level of the water tank is less than the first preset liquid level.
[0092] Optionally, the specific process of the controller determining whether the working parameters of the washing pump of the dishwasher meet the fourth preset condition may include: the controller determines whether the rotation speed of the washing pump is zero. If so, the controller obtains the current liquid level and determines whether the current liquid level is less than the first preset liquid level. If the current liquid level is less than the first preset liquid level, it means that the filter is completely blocked. At this time, after the controller determines that the contaminants have completely blocked the filter of the sink, the controller can perform a second screening process on the contaminants on the filter of the dishwasher.
[0093] Optionally, the second slag removal process may include the following steps:
[0094] Step 41: Control the water inlet valve of the dishwasher to open, so as to replenish the dishwasher with a second amount of clean water.
[0095] In this step, the controller may first start the water inlet valve. When the water inlet valve is started, the controller may add a second amount of clean water to the dishwasher. When the second amount of clean water enters the dishwasher from the water inlet at the bottom of the dishwasher, the clean water may disperse the pollutants attached to the filter and make the pollutants float. Optionally, since the second amount of water enters when the filter is completely blocked and is used to disperse the pollutants, the second amount of water is a larger amount of water. For example, the second amount of water may be 1L of clean water.
[0096] Step 42: Control the drainage pump in the dishwasher to stop working after starting and working for the second working time.
[0097] In this step, the controller may start and stop the drainage pump once for a short time. The short-time start and stop may specifically include: the controller controls the drainage pump to start. The controller controls the drainage pump to stop working after running for a second working time. The short-time start and stop of the drainage pump can enable pollutants to be quickly discharged through the sewer. Optionally, the second working time can be a very short time. For example, the second working time can be 1 second.
[0098] Step 43: Control the washing pump to stop working after starting and working for the second working time.
[0099] In this step, the controller can start and stop the washing pump for a short time after completing the short start and stop of the drainage pump. The short start and stop can specifically include: the controller controls the washing pump to start. The controller controls the washing pump to stop working after running for a second working time. The short start and stop of the washing pump can break up the pollutants attached to the filter screen and make the pollutants float. Optionally, the second working time can be a very short time. For example, the second working time can be 1s.
[0100] Step 44: Control the drainage pump in the dishwasher to stop working after starting and working for the second working time.
[0101] In this step, the controller can start and stop the drainage pump for a short time after completing the short start and stop of the washing pump. The short start and stop can specifically include: the controller controls the drainage pump to start. The controller controls the drainage pump to stop working after running for a second working time. The short start and stop of the drainage pump can enable pollutants to be quickly discharged through the sewer. Optionally, the second working time can be a very short time. For example, the second working time can be 1s.
[0102] In one example, after determining that the contaminants have clogged the filter screen of the sink, the controller may further perform a second deslagging treatment on the contaminants on the filter screen of the dishwasher, and then cycle through the first deslagging treatment multiple times to improve the deslagging effect. The process may include the following steps:
[0103] Step 51, performing an initial second deslagging treatment on the pollutants on the filter screen of the dishwasher.
[0104] In this step, the controller may first perform a second slag removal process.
[0105] Step 52, repeatedly executing the following steps until the speed of the washing pump is greater than the second preset speed: controlling the washing pump to start. If it is determined that the speed of the washing pump is less than the second preset speed, controlling the water inlet valve of the dishwasher to open to replenish water to the dishwasher, and performing a first slag removal process on the contaminants on the filter screen of the dishwasher.
[0106] In this step, the controller may start the washing pump after completing the second deslagging process. The controller may obtain the rotation speed of the washing pump after starting the washing pump. The controller may compare the rotation speed of the washing pump with the second rotation speed. If the rotation speed of the washing pump is less than the second preset rotation speed, it means that the water volume in the water tank of the dishwasher has not reached the second preset water volume.
