Moreover, the existing door opening control methods for dishwashers have low safety and pose a risk of harm to users. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0005] To this end, a first aspect of the present invention is to propose a control method for a dishwasher.

[0006] A second aspect of the present invention is to propose a control device for a dishwasher.

[0007] A third aspect of the present invention is to propose a control device for a dishwasher.

[0008] A fourth aspect of the present invention is to propose a dishwasher.

[0009] A fifth aspect of the present invention is to propose a readable storage medium.

[0010] In view of this, according to one aspect of the present invention, a control method for a dishwasher is proposed. The control method includes: detecting the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher when a target input is received; and when the door assembly is in a closed state, controlling the state of the door assembly to switch according to the working state of the dishwasher; where the target input is a target operation performed by the user on a preset area of the dishwasher within a target preset time for a preset number of times.

[0011] The execution subject of the technical solution of the control method of the dishwasher provided by the present invention can be the control device of the dishwasher, and can also be determined according to actual usage requirements, which is not specifically limited herein. To more clearly describe the control method of the dishwasher provided by the present invention, the following description is made with the execution subject of the control method of the dishwasher being the control device of the dishwasher.

[0012] For the control method of the dishwasher provided by the present invention, during the use of the dishwasher, if a target operation on a preset area of the dishwasher is received a preset number of times within a target preset time, it is determined that the dishwasher has received a target input from the user, and this target input is used to switch the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher. On this basis, after determining that the dishwasher has received the target input from the user, the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher is determined, and when it is determined that the door assembly is in the closed state, the working state of the dishwasher is determined, and then the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher is switched according to the determined working state of the dishwasher. Among them, the above working state can specifically include the operating state of the dishwasher and working parameters, such as the working humidity and working temperature of the dishwasher. The present invention controls the switching of the door assembly state in combination with the operating state, working humidity, and working temperature of the dishwasher.

[0013] In this way, on the one hand, the dishwasher is controlled to open the door through a target input with specific input parameters (such as input time, input times, input area), avoiding the influence of environmental factors such as water vapor, magnetic field, electric field, and the user wearing gloves on the dishwasher door opening control method, ensuring the accuracy of the detection of user operation control, thus ensuring the accuracy of the dishwasher door opening control and meeting the user's needs. On the other hand, when the door assembly is closed, the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher is switched and controlled in combination with the working state of the dishwasher, avoiding the problem of scalding the user with high temperature when opening the door assembly of the dishwasher, improving the safety of using the dishwasher, and further meeting the user's needs.

[0014] Furthermore, in the control method of the dishwasher proposed by the present invention, after determining that the dishwasher has received the target input from the user, if it is further determined that the door assembly of the dishwasher is in the open state, the door assembly of the dishwasher is closed, or no treatment is done to the door assembly, that is, the door assembly remains in the open state, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0015] According to the above control method of the dishwasher of the present invention, the following additional technical features may also be provided:

[0016] In the above technical solution, controlling the state of the door assembly to switch according to the working state of the dishwasher includes: when the dishwasher is in the shutdown state, opening the door assembly; when the dishwasher is in the operating state, disconnecting the load switch of the dishwasher and controlling the state of the door assembly to switch according to the working parameters of the dishwasher.

[0017] In this technical solution, when it is determined that the door assembly of the dishwasher is in the closed state, the working state of the dishwasher is further determined. Then, when it is determined that the dishwasher is in the non-operating state, that is, the shutdown state, that is, when it is determined that the dishwasher is not performing a cleaning task, the door assembly of the dishwasher is directly controlled to open. When it is determined that the dishwasher is in the operating state, that is, when it is determined that the dishwasher is performing a cleaning task, all load switches of the dishwasher are disconnected, and at the same time, the working parameters of the dishwasher are detected, and the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher is switched and controlled according to the detected working parameters. Among them, the above-mentioned working parameters may specifically include the working humidity and working temperature of the dishwasher. In this way, when the door assembly is closed, the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher is switched and controlled in combination with the working state and working parameters of the dishwasher, avoiding the problem of scalding users with high-temperature steam when opening the door assembly of the dishwasher, thus improving the safety of using the dishwasher and meeting the user's needs.

[0018] In any of the above technical solutions, the working parameters include the working temperature and the working humidity. Controlling the state of the door assembly to switch according to the working parameters of the dishwasher includes: when the working temperature is greater than the first preset value and the working humidity is greater than the second preset value, sending a warning signal and starting the drying program of the dishwasher; when the working temperature is less than or equal to the first preset value, or the working humidity is less than or equal to the second preset value, opening the door assembly.

[0019] In this technical solution, it is defined that the working parameters of the above-mentioned dishwasher include the working humidity and the working temperature. On this basis, in this technical solution, when it is determined that the first preset value is greater than or equal to the working temperature of the dishwasher, or the second preset value is greater than or equal to the working humidity of the dishwasher, the door assembly of the dishwasher is directly controlled to open. When it is determined that the first preset value is less than the working temperature of the dishwasher and the second preset value is less than the working humidity of the dishwasher, a warning signal is sent to the user to remind the user that the current temperature and humidity inside the dishwasher are both high. At the same time, the exhaust device of the dishwasher is turned on to start the drying program of the dishwasher, and the dishwasher is cooled and dehumidified, so that the user can open the door assembly of the dishwasher through the user's subsequent operation on the dishwasher, or the door assembly of the dishwasher is automatically opened when the temperature inside the dishwasher is low. In this way, when the temperature and humidity inside the dishwasher are too high, a warning signal is sent to the user, and the dishwasher is dehumidified and cooled by turning on the exhaust device, so that the user can accurately grasp the temperature inside the dishwasher, avoiding the problem of scalding users with high-temperature steam when opening the door assembly of the dishwasher, improving the safety of using the dishwasher, and meeting the user's needs.

[0020] In any of the above technical solutions, after starting the drying program of the dishwasher, the control method further includes: opening the door assembly when a target input is received within a first preset time; and opening the door assembly after the drying program has been executed for a second preset time when the target input is not received within the first preset time.

[0021] In this technical solution, if within the first preset time after starting the drying program of the dishwasher, the dishwasher receives a target input from the user on a preset area thereof again, it indicates that the user still wants to open the door assembly of the dishwasher while knowing the internal temperature of the dishwasher. At this time, the dishwasher responds to the target input of the user and directly opens the door assembly thereon. And if the dishwasher does not receive a target input from the user on the preset area within the first preset time after starting the drying program of the dishwasher, the drying program of the dishwasher continues to be executed, and after the drying program is completed, the door assembly of the dishwasher is automatically opened. In this way, when the internal temperature and humidity of the dishwasher are too high, after dehumidifying and cooling the dishwasher by turning on the exhaust fan, the door assembly of the dishwasher is opened, avoiding the problem of scalding the user with high temperature when opening the door assembly of the dishwasher, improving the safety of using the dishwasher, and meeting the user's needs.

[0022] In any of the above technical solutions, the target operation generates a pressure value on the preset area, and the pressure value is greater than a preset pressure value.

[0023] In this technical solution, the specific form of the above target operation is further limited. Specifically, in the process of the user controlling the state switching of the door assembly of the dishwasher by performing a preset number of target operations on a preset area of the dishwasher, the above target operation will generate a certain pressure value on the preset area of the dishwasher. When the value of this pressure value is greater than the set preset pressure value, it is determined that the target operation of the user on the preset area is a valid operation. In this way, the accuracy of detecting the user's operation control is further ensured, thereby further ensuring the accuracy of controlling the opening of the dishwasher door and meeting the user's needs.

[0024] According to the second aspect of the present invention, a control device for a dishwasher is provided. The control device includes: a processing unit for detecting the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher when a target input is received; and the processing unit is further configured to control the state switching of the door assembly according to the working state of the dishwasher when the door assembly is in a closed state; wherein the target input is a preset number of target operations performed by the user on a preset area of the dishwasher within a target preset time.

[0025] The control device of the dishwasher provided by the present invention, during the use of the dishwasher, if a target operation on a preset area of the dishwasher is received from the user a preset number of times within a target preset time, the processing unit determines that the dishwasher has received a target input from the user, and this target input is used to switch the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher. On this basis, after the processing unit determines that the dishwasher has received the target input from the user, it determines the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher, and when it is determined that the door assembly is in the closed state, it determines the working state of the dishwasher, and then the processing unit switches the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher according to the determined working state of the dishwasher. Among them, the above-mentioned working state may specifically include the operating state of the dishwasher and working parameters, such as the working humidity and working temperature of the dishwasher. The present invention controls the switching of the door assembly state in combination with the operating state, working humidity and working temperature of the dishwasher. In this way, on the one hand, by controlling the opening of the dishwasher through a target input with a specific input time, input frequency and input area, the influence of environmental factors on the dishwasher door opening control method is avoided, the accuracy of detecting user operation control is ensured, thus ensuring the accuracy of the dishwasher door opening control and meeting the user's needs. On the other hand, the switching of the door assembly state of the dishwasher is controlled in combination with the working state of the dishwasher, avoiding the problem of scalding the user with high temperature when opening the door assembly of the dishwasher, improving the safety of using the dishwasher, and further meeting the user's needs.

[0026] According to the control device of the dishwasher of the present invention, the following additional technical features may also be provided:

[0027] In the above technical solution, the processing unit is specifically configured to: when the dishwasher is in the shutdown state, open the door assembly; when the dishwasher is in the operating state, disconnect the load switch of the dishwasher, and control the state of the door assembly to be switched according to the working parameters of the dishwasher.

[0028] In this technical solution, when the processing unit determines that the door assembly of the dishwasher is in the closed state, the working state of the dishwasher is further determined. Then, when the processing unit determines that the dishwasher is in the non-operating state, that is, the shutdown state, that is, when it is determined that the dishwasher is not performing a cleaning task, the door assembly of the dishwasher is directly controlled to open. When the processing unit determines that the dishwasher is in the operating state, that is, when it is determined that the dishwasher is performing a cleaning task, all load switches of the dishwasher are disconnected, and the working parameters of the dishwasher are detected, and the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher is switched and controlled according to the detected working parameters. Among them, the above-mentioned working parameters may specifically include the working humidity and working temperature of the dishwasher. In this way, when the door assembly is closed, the processing unit combines the working state and working parameters of the dishwasher to switch and control the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher, avoiding the problem of scalding users with high-temperature steam when opening the door assembly of the dishwasher, thus improving the safety of using the dishwasher and meeting the user's needs.

[0029] In any of the above technical solutions, the working parameters include the working temperature and the working humidity, and the processing unit is specifically used for: when the working temperature is greater than the first preset value and the working humidity is greater than the second preset value, sending a warning signal and starting the drying program of the dishwasher; when the working temperature is less than or equal to the first preset value, or the working humidity is less than or equal to the second preset value, opening the door assembly.

[0030] In this technical solution, it is defined that the working parameters of the above-mentioned dishwasher include the working humidity and the working temperature. On this basis, in this technical solution, when the processing unit determines that the first preset value is greater than or equal to the working temperature of the dishwasher, or the second preset value is greater than or equal to the working humidity of the dishwasher, the door assembly of the dishwasher is directly controlled to open. When the processing unit determines that the first preset value is less than the working temperature of the dishwasher and the second preset value is less than the working humidity of the dishwasher, a warning signal is sent to the user to remind the user that the current temperature and humidity inside the dishwasher are both high. At the same time, the exhaust device of the dishwasher is turned on to start the drying program of the dishwasher to perform temperature reduction and dehumidification operations on the dishwasher, so that the door assembly of the dishwasher can be opened by the user's subsequent operation on the dishwasher, or the door assembly of the dishwasher can be automatically opened when the temperature inside the dishwasher is low. In this way, when the temperature and humidity inside the dishwasher are too high, a warning signal is sent to the user, and the dishwasher is dehumidified and cooled by turning on the exhaust device, so that the user can accurately master the temperature inside the dishwasher, avoiding the problem of scalding users with high-temperature steam when opening the door assembly of the dishwasher, improving the safety of using the dishwasher, and meeting the user's needs.

[0031] In any of the above technical solutions, after starting the drying program of the dishwasher, the processing unit is further configured to: open the door assembly when a target input is received within a first preset time; and open the door assembly after the drying program is executed for a second preset time when the target input is not received within the first preset time.

[0032] In this technical solution, if within the first preset time after starting the drying program of the dishwasher, the dishwasher receives a target input from the user on a preset area thereof again, it indicates that the user still wants to open the door assembly of the dishwasher while knowing the internal temperature of the dishwasher. At this time, the processing unit responds to the target input of the user and directly opens the door assembly of the dishwasher. If the dishwasher does not receive a target input from the user on the preset area within the first preset time after starting the drying program of the dishwasher, the drying program of the dishwasher continues to be executed, and after the drying program is completed, the door assembly of the dishwasher is automatically opened. In this way, when the internal temperature and humidity of the dishwasher are too high, after dehumidifying and cooling the dishwasher by turning on the exhaust fan, the door assembly of the dishwasher is opened, avoiding the problem of scalding the user with high temperature when opening the door assembly of the dishwasher, improving the safety of using the dishwasher, and meeting the user's needs.

[0033] In any of the above technical solutions, the target operation generates a pressure value on the preset area, and the pressure value is greater than a preset pressure value.

[0034] In this technical solution, the specific form of the above target operation is further limited. Specifically, in the process of the user controlling the state switching of the door assembly of the dishwasher by performing a target operation on the preset area of the dishwasher a preset number of times, the target operation will generate a certain pressure value on the preset area of the dishwasher. When the value of this pressure value is greater than the set preset pressure value, it is determined that the target operation of the user on the preset area is a valid operation. In this way, the accuracy of detecting the user's operation control is further ensured, thereby further ensuring the accuracy of controlling the opening of the dishwasher door and meeting the user's needs.

It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0050] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the limitations of the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0051] The following combines Figures 1 to 8 , and through specific embodiments and their application scenarios, the dishwasher and its control method and device, and readable storage medium provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail.

[0052] Embodiment 1, Figure 1 shows one of the schematic flowcharts of the control method of the dishwasher according to the embodiment of the present invention. Among them, the control method may specifically include the following steps 102 and 104:

[0053] Step 102, when a target input is received, detect the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher;

[0054] Step 104, when the door assembly is in the closed state, control the state of the door assembly to switch according to the working state of the dishwasher;

[0055] Among them, the target input is a target operation performed by the user on a preset area of the dishwasher a preset number of times within a target preset time.

[0056] The execution subject of the technical solution of the control method of the dishwasher provided by the present invention may be the control device of the dishwasher, and may also be determined according to actual usage requirements, which is not specifically limited herein. In order to more clearly describe the control method of the dishwasher provided by the present invention, the following description will be made with the execution subject of the control method of the dishwasher being the control device of the dishwasher.

[0057] The control method of the dishwasher provided by the present invention, during the use of the dishwasher, if a target operation on a preset area of the dishwasher is received from the user within a target preset time for a preset number of times, it is determined that the dishwasher has received a target input from the user, and this target input is used to switch the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher. On this basis, after determining that the dishwasher has received the target input from the user, the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher is determined, and when it is determined that the door assembly is in the closed state, the working state of the dishwasher is determined, and then the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher is switched according to the determined working state of the dishwasher. Among them, the above-mentioned working state may specifically include the operating state of the dishwasher and working parameters, such as the working humidity and working temperature of the dishwasher. The present invention controls the switching of the door assembly state in combination with the operating state, working humidity and working temperature of the dishwasher. In this way, on the one hand, the dishwasher is controlled to open the door through a target input with a specific input time, input times and input area, avoiding the influence of environmental factors on the door opening control method of the dishwasher, ensuring the accuracy of detecting the user operation control, and thus ensuring the accuracy of the door opening control of the dishwasher. On the other hand, the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher is switched and controlled in combination with the working state of the dishwasher, avoiding the problem of scalding the user with high temperature when opening the door assembly of the dishwasher, and improving the safety of using the dishwasher.

[0058] Among them, the above-mentioned target preset time may specifically be 0.5 seconds, 0.8 seconds, 1 second, etc., and the above-mentioned preset number of times may specifically be 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, etc. For the specific values of the above-mentioned target preset time and preset number of times, those skilled in the art can set them according to the actual situation and no specific limitation is made here.

[0059] Further, a sensor is provided in the dishwasher, and the sensor corresponds to the above-mentioned preset area. During the use of the dishwasher, when it is determined that the dishwasher has received a target input from the user on the preset area, the sensor generates a corresponding control signal according to the target input to switch and control the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher through the control signal. In the actual application process, the above-mentioned sensor may specifically be a pressure sensor, a vibration sensor, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0060] Further, in the actual application process, the number of the above-mentioned preset areas can be set to be multiple, and the multiple preset areas correspond to the same door assembly in the dishwasher. Through the target input on any one of the preset areas by the user, the switching control of the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher can be realized, thereby improving the convenience of the user to switch and control the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher.

[0061] Alternatively, in the case where the dishwasher includes multiple door assemblies, the above-mentioned multiple preset areas can correspond one-to-one with the multiple door assemblies. By making a target input to a certain preset area, the user can achieve switching control of the state of the corresponding door assembly of the dishwasher, thereby increasing the control methods of the dishwasher and improving the accuracy of switching control of the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher.

[0062] Furthermore, the above-mentioned target operation is an operation that can cause a slight deformation of the preset area of the dishwasher. By the deformation generated by the target operation on the preset area, the accuracy of the sensor signal generation is ensured, thereby ensuring the accuracy of switching control of the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher. In the actual application process, the target operation can specifically be a tapping operation, a patting operation, etc. For the specific form of the above-mentioned target operation, those skilled in the art can set it according to the actual situation and no specific limitation is made here.

[0063] In addition, it should be noted that in the control method of the dishwasher proposed in the present invention, after it is determined that the dishwasher receives the target input of the user, if it is further determined that the door assembly of the dishwasher is in the open state, the door assembly of the dishwasher is closed, or no processing is performed on the door assembly, that is, the door assembly remains in the open state, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0064] In summary, the control method of the dishwasher proposed by the invention controls the dishwasher to open the door through a target input with specific input parameters (such as input time, input number, input area), avoiding the influence of environmental factors such as water vapor, magnetic field, electric field, and the user wearing gloves on the dishwasher door opening control method, ensuring the accuracy of detecting the user operation control, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the dishwasher door opening control and meeting the user's needs. On the other hand, in the case where the door assembly is closed, the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher is switched and controlled in combination with the working state of the dishwasher, avoiding the problem of scalding the user with high temperature when opening the door assembly of the dishwasher, improving the safety of using the dishwasher, and further meeting the user's needs.

[0071] Step 104c1: When the dishwasher is in the operating state, disconnect the load switch of the dishwasher and determine the operating humidity and operating temperature of the dishwasher;

[0072] Step 104c2: When the first preset value is greater than or equal to the operating temperature, or the second preset value is greater than or equal to the operating humidity, control the door assembly to open;

[0073] Step 104c3: When the first preset value is less than the operating temperature and the second preset value is less than the operating humidity, send a warning signal to the user and start the drying program of the dishwasher.

[0074] In this embodiment, based on Embodiment 2, the working parameters of the above dishwasher are defined to include the working humidity and the working temperature. On this basis, in this embodiment, the specific method for switching and controlling the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher through the working parameters of the dishwasher is further defined. Specifically, when it is determined that the dishwasher is in the operating state, that is, when it is determined that the dishwasher is performing a cleaning task, all load switches of the dishwasher are disconnected. At the same time, the current working temperature of the dishwasher is detected, and the detected working temperature is compared with a first preset value, and the working humidity of the dishwasher is detected, and the detected working humidity is compared with a second preset value. Then, the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher is switched and controlled according to the comparison result.

[0075] Specifically, when it is determined that the first preset value is greater than or equal to the working temperature of the dishwasher, or the second preset value is greater than or equal to the working humidity of the dishwasher, the door assembly of the dishwasher is directly controlled to open. When it is determined that the first preset value is less than the working temperature of the dishwasher and the second preset value is less than the working humidity of the dishwasher, a warning signal is sent to the user to remind the user that the current temperature and humidity inside the dishwasher are both high. At the same time, the exhaust device of the dishwasher is turned on to start the drying program of the dishwasher, and the temperature reduction and dehumidification operation of the dishwasher is performed, so that the user can open the door assembly of the dishwasher through the user's subsequent operation on the dishwasher, or the door assembly of the dishwasher is automatically opened when the temperature inside the dishwasher is low. In this way, when the temperature and humidity inside the dishwasher are too high, a warning signal is sent to the user, and the dishwasher is dehumidified and cooled by turning on the exhaust device, so that the user can accurately master the temperature inside the dishwasher, avoiding the problem of scalding the user by high-temperature steam when opening the door assembly of the dishwasher, improving the safety of using the dishwasher, and meeting the user's needs.

[0076] Among them, for the specific values of the above first preset value and the second preset value, in the actual application process, those skilled in the art can set them according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0077] Embodiment 4 Figure 4 Fig. 4 shows a schematic flowchart of the control method of the dishwasher according to an embodiment of the present invention. Among them, in this embodiment, based on Embodiment 3, after the above step S104c3, the control method may specifically further include the following steps 106 and 108:

[0078] Step 106, when the target input of the user is received again within a first preset time, control the door assembly to open;

[0079] Step 108, when the target input of the user is not received within a first preset time, control the door assembly to open after the drying program is executed for a second preset time.

[0080] In this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, when it is determined that the first preset value is less than the operating temperature of the dishwasher and the second preset value is less than the operating humidity of the dishwasher, the exhaust device of the dishwasher is turned on to start the drying program of the dishwasher. On this basis, if within the first preset time after the drying program of the dishwasher is started, the dishwasher receives a target input from the user on the preset area thereon again, it indicates that the user still wants to open the door assembly of the dishwasher while mastering the internal temperature of the dishwasher. At this time, the dishwasher responds to the target input of the user and directly opens the door assembly thereon. If within the first preset time after the drying program of the dishwasher is started, the dishwasher does not receive a target input from the user on the preset area thereon, the drying program of the dishwasher continues to be executed, and after the drying program is completed, the door assembly of the dishwasher is automatically opened. In this way, when the internal temperature and humidity of the dishwasher are too high, after dehumidifying and cooling the dishwasher by turning on the exhaust fan, the door assembly of the dishwasher is opened, avoiding the problem of scalding the user with high temperature when opening the door assembly of the dishwasher, improving the safety of using the dishwasher, and meeting the user's needs.

[0081] Wherein, the above-mentioned second preset time is the time for the drying program to continue to execute after the drying program has executed the above-mentioned first preset time. That is, the sum of the second preset time and the first preset time is the total execution time of the set drying program. After the drying program has executed the above-mentioned first preset time, the temperature inside the dishwasher is still greater than the above-mentioned first preset value, which does not meet the standard for automatic opening of the door assembly. After the drying program has executed the above-mentioned first preset time and the second preset time, that is, after the drying program is completed, the temperature inside the dishwasher is less than or equal to the above-mentioned first preset value, which meets the standard for automatic opening of the door assembly.

[0082] In the actual application process, for the specific values of the above-mentioned first preset time and the second preset time, those skilled in the art can set them according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0083] Embodiment Five: In this embodiment, based on the above Embodiments One to Four, the above-mentioned target operation is further limited.

[0084] Specifically, the specific form of the above-mentioned target operation is further limited. Specifically, in the process of the user controlling the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher by performing a target operation on the preset area of the dishwasher a preset number of times, the above-mentioned target operation will generate a certain pressure value on the preset area of the dishwasher. When the value of this pressure value is greater than the set preset pressure value, it is determined that the target operation of the user on the preset area is a valid operation.

[0085] That is to say, in this technical solution, on the basis of limiting the input time, input frequency, and input area of the target input, the input force of the target input is further limited. Only when the input time, input frequency, input area, and input force of the target input all meet the conditions, it is determined that the dishwasher receives the target input from the user. In this way, while avoiding the influence of environmental factors such as water vapor, magnetic field, electric field, and the user wearing gloves on the dishwasher door opening control method, the accuracy of detecting the user's operation control is further ensured, thereby further ensuring the accuracy of the dishwasher door opening control and meeting the user's needs.

[0086] Among them, in the actual application process, for the specific value of the above preset pressure value, those skilled in the art can set it according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0087] Embodiment Six Figure 5 Fig. 5 shows a schematic flowchart of the control method of the dishwasher according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the control method may include the following steps 202 to 222:

[0088] Step 202, power on the dishwasher;

[0089] Step 204, knock on the dishwasher to output a sensor signal;

[0090] Step 206, determine whether the dishwasher is in an open door state. If so, execute Step 208; if not, execute Step 210;

[0091] Step 208, do not process the sensor signal;

[0092] Step 210, determine whether the dishwasher is in an operating state. If so, execute Step 214; if not, execute Step 212;

[0093] Step 212, the automatic door lock module opens the device door;

[0094] Step 214, determine whether the dishwasher meets the conditions: the current temperature of the dishwasher is greater than the set value and the humidity is greater than the set value. If so, execute Step 218; if not, execute Step 216;

[0095] Step 216, pause all loads;

[0096] Step 218, give a beeping warning, pause the load, and turn on the exhaust fan;

[0097] Step 220, determine whether the sensor receives another knock within the preset time. If so, execute Step 212; if not, execute Step 222;

[0098] Step 222, wait for the exhaust fan to run for a preset time.

[0099] Among them, in step 212, the "equipment door" is equivalent to the above-mentioned door assembly.

[0100] Furthermore, in step 214, the "set value" in "the current temperature of the dishwasher is greater than the set value" is equivalent to the above-mentioned first preset value, while the "set value" in "the humidity is greater than the set value" is equivalent to the above-mentioned second preset value.

[0101] Furthermore, in step 220, the "preset time" is equivalent to the above-mentioned first preset time, while in step 222, the "predetermined time" is equivalent to the above-mentioned second preset time.

[0102] Specifically, in this embodiment, during the use of the dishwasher, first, the dishwasher is powered on, and then a tapping operation on a preset area of the dishwasher where a sensor is provided is received by the user, and a sensor signal is generated according to this tapping operation. On this basis, it is determined whether the dishwasher is currently in an open door state. If the dishwasher is in an open door state, no processing is performed on the above sensor signal, that is, the dishwasher remains in the open door state. When the dishwasher is in a closed door state, the working state of the dishwasher is further determined. If the dishwasher is currently in a non-operating state, that is, the dishwasher is not performing a cleaning task, the automatic door lock module of the dishwasher is directly controlled to open the equipment door of the dishwasher. When the dishwasher is currently in an operating state, that is, the dishwasher is performing a cleaning task, the working parameters of the dishwasher are further determined, that is, the current temperature and humidity of the dishwasher are determined.

[0103] Specifically, when the dishwasher does not meet the condition that both the current temperature and humidity are greater than the corresponding set values, all loads of the dishwasher are paused, and the automatic door lock module of the dishwasher is controlled to open the equipment door of the dishwasher. When the dishwasher meets the condition that both the current temperature and humidity are greater than the corresponding set values, the user is warned by a beeping sound that the current temperature inside the dishwasher is too high. At the same time, all loads of the dishwasher are paused, and the exhaust fan in the dishwasher is turned on to execute a drying program. On this basis, after the exhaust fan in the dishwasher is turned on, if the sensor of the dishwasher receives a tapping operation from the user again within the preset time, the automatic door lock module of the dishwasher is controlled to open the equipment door of the dishwasher. If the sensor of the dishwasher does not receive a tapping operation from the user again within the preset time, after waiting for the exhaust fan to run for the predetermined time, that is, after the drying program is completed, the automatic door lock module of the dishwasher is then controlled to open the equipment door of the dishwasher.

[0104] Thus, in the control method of the dishwasher proposed in this embodiment, on the one hand, by knocking on the dishwasher to control the opening of the dishwasher door, the influence of environmental factors such as water vapor, magnetic field, electric field, and the user wearing gloves on the dishwasher door opening control method is avoided, ensuring the accuracy of detecting the user's operation control, thus ensuring the accuracy of controlling the opening of the dishwasher door and meeting the user's needs. On the other hand, when the temperature and humidity inside the dishwasher are too high, after dehumidifying and cooling the dishwasher by pausing the dishwasher load and turning on the exhaust fan, the equipment door of the dishwasher is opened, thus avoiding the problem of scalding the user with high temperature when opening the equipment door of the dishwasher, improving the safety of using the dishwasher, and further meeting the user's needs.

[0105] Embodiment Seven Figure 6 Fig. shows a structural block diagram of a control device 600 of a dishwasher according to an embodiment of the present invention. Among them, the control device includes the following processing unit 602:

[0106] The processing unit 602 is configured to determine the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher when receiving a target input from the user;

[0107] The processing unit 602 is further configured to switch the state of the door assembly according to the working state of the dishwasher when the door assembly is in the closed state;

[0108] Wherein, the target input is a target operation performed by the user on a preset area of the dishwasher a preset number of times within a target preset time.

[0109] The control device 600 of the dishwasher provided by the present invention, during the use of the dishwasher, if a target operation on a preset area of the dishwasher is received by the user within a target preset time for a preset number of times, the processing unit 602 determines that the dishwasher has received a target input from the user, and this target input is used to switch the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher. On this basis, after the processing unit 602 determines that the dishwasher has received the target input from the user, the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher is determined, and when it is determined that the door assembly is in the closed state, the working state of the dishwasher is determined. Furthermore, the processing unit 602 switches the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher according to the determined working state of the dishwasher. Among them, the above-mentioned working state may specifically include the operating state of the dishwasher and working parameters, such as the working humidity and working temperature of the dishwasher. The present invention controls the switching of the door assembly state in combination with the operating state, working humidity, and working temperature of the dishwasher. In this way, on the one hand, by controlling the opening of the dishwasher through a target input with a specific input time, input times, and input area, the influence of environmental factors on the door opening control method of the dishwasher is avoided, the accuracy of detecting user operation control is ensured, and thus the accuracy of controlling the opening of the dishwasher is guaranteed. On the other hand, the switching control of the door assembly state of the dishwasher is carried out in combination with the working state of the dishwasher, avoiding the problem of scalding users with high temperature when opening the door assembly of the dishwasher, and improving the safety of using the dishwasher.

[0110] Among them, the above-mentioned target preset time may specifically be 0.5 seconds, 0.8 seconds, 1 second, etc., and the above-mentioned preset number of times may specifically be 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, etc. For the specific values of the above-mentioned target preset time and preset number of times, those skilled in the art can set them according to the actual situation and no specific limitation is made here.

[0111] Furthermore, a sensor is provided in the dishwasher, and this sensor corresponds to the above-mentioned preset area. During the use of the dishwasher, when it is determined that the dishwasher has received a target input from the user on the preset area, the sensor generates a corresponding control signal according to this target input to control the switching of the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher through this control signal. In the actual application process, the above-mentioned sensor may specifically be a pressure sensor, a vibration sensor, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0112] Furthermore, in the actual application process, the number of the above-mentioned preset areas can be set to multiple, and the multiple preset areas correspond to the same door assembly in the dishwasher. By the user's target input on any one of the preset areas, the switching control of the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher can be realized, thereby improving the convenience of the user to control the switching of the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher.

[0113] Alternatively, in the case where the dishwasher includes multiple door assemblies, the above-mentioned multiple preset areas can correspond one-to-one with the multiple door assemblies. By the target input to a certain preset area, the user can achieve the switching control of the state of the corresponding door assembly of the dishwasher, thereby increasing the control methods of the dishwasher and improving the accuracy of switching control of the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher.

[0114] Furthermore, the above-mentioned target operation is an operation that can cause a slight deformation of the preset area of the dishwasher. By the deformation of the preset area caused by the target operation, the accuracy of the sensor signal generation is ensured, so as to ensure the accuracy of switching control of the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher. In the actual application process, the target operation can specifically be a tapping operation, a patting operation, etc. For the specific form of the above-mentioned target operation, those skilled in the art can set it according to the actual situation and will not be specifically limited herein.

[0115] In addition, it should be noted that in the control device 600 of the dishwasher proposed in the present invention, after the processing unit 602 determines that the dishwasher has received the target input from the user, if it is further determined that the door assembly of the dishwasher is in the open state, the processing unit 602 will close the door assembly of the dishwasher, or do not perform any processing on the door assembly, that is, the door assembly remains in the open state, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0116] In summary, the control device 600 of the dishwasher proposed by the invention controls the dishwasher to open the door through the target input with specific input parameters (such as input time, input times, input area), avoiding the influence of environmental factors such as water vapor, magnetic field, electric field, and the user wearing gloves on the door opening control method of the dishwasher, ensuring the accuracy of detecting the user's operation control, thus ensuring the accuracy of the door opening control of the dishwasher and meeting the user's needs. On the other hand, in the case where the door assembly is closed, the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher is switched and controlled in combination with the working state of the dishwasher, avoiding the problem of scalding the user with high temperature when opening the door assembly of the dishwasher, improving the safety of using the dishwasher, and further meeting the user's needs.

[0117] Embodiment 8, on the basis of Embodiment 7, further, the above-mentioned processing unit 602 is specifically configured to: determine the working state of the dishwasher when the door assembly is in the closed state; control the door assembly to open when the dishwasher is in the stopped state; when the dishwasher is in the running state, disconnect the load switch of the dishwasher and switch the state of the door assembly according to the working parameters of the dishwasher.

[0118] In this embodiment, the manner in which the above-mentioned processing unit 602 controls the switching of the door assembly state of the dishwasher according to the working state of the dishwasher is further defined. Specifically, when the processing unit 602 determines that the door assembly of the dishwasher is in the closed state, the working state of the dishwasher is further determined. Then, when the processing unit 602 determines that the dishwasher is in the non-operating state, that is, the shutdown state, that is, when it is determined that the dishwasher is not performing a cleaning task, the door assembly of the dishwasher is directly controlled to open. When the processing unit 602 determines that the dishwasher is in the operating state, that is, when it is determined that the dishwasher is performing a cleaning task, all load switches of the dishwasher are disconnected, and at the same time, the working parameters of the dishwasher are detected, and the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher is switched and controlled according to the detected working parameters. Among them, the above-mentioned working parameters may specifically include the working humidity and working temperature of the dishwasher. In this way, when the door assembly is closed, the processing unit 602 combines the working state and working parameters of the dishwasher to switch and control the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher, avoiding the problem of scalding users with high-temperature steam when opening the door assembly of the dishwasher, thereby improving the safety of using the dishwasher and meeting the user's needs.

[0119] Embodiment IX. On the basis of Embodiment VIII, further, the above-mentioned working parameters include working humidity and working temperature. On this basis, the above-mentioned processing unit 602 may specifically be used for: when the dishwasher is in the operating state, disconnect the load switch of the dishwasher, and determine the working humidity and working temperature of the dishwasher; when the first preset value is greater than or equal to the working temperature, or the second preset value is greater than or equal to the working humidity, control the door assembly to open; when the first preset value is less than the working temperature and the second preset value is less than the working humidity, send a warning signal to the user and start the drying program of the dishwasher.

[0120] In this embodiment, it is defined that the working parameters of the above-mentioned dishwasher include working humidity and working temperature. On this basis, in this embodiment, the specific manner in which the above-mentioned processing unit 602 switches and controls the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher through the working parameters of the dishwasher is further defined. Specifically, when the processing unit 602 determines that the dishwasher is in the operating state, that is, when it is determined that the dishwasher is performing a cleaning task, all load switches of the dishwasher are disconnected, and at the same time, the current working temperature of the dishwasher is detected, and the detected working temperature is compared with the first preset value, and the working humidity of the dishwasher is detected, and the detected working humidity is compared with the second preset value, and then the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher is switched and controlled according to the comparison result.

[0121] Specifically, when the processing unit 602 determines that the first preset value is greater than or equal to the operating temperature of the dishwasher, or the second preset value is greater than or equal to the operating humidity of the dishwasher, it directly controls the door assembly of the dishwasher to open. When the processing unit 602 determines that the first preset value is less than the operating temperature of the dishwasher and the second preset value is less than the operating humidity of the dishwasher, it sends a warning signal to the user to remind the user that the current temperature and humidity inside the dishwasher are both high. At the same time, it turns on the air extraction device of the dishwasher to start the drying program of the dishwasher, and performs temperature reduction and dehumidification operations on the dishwasher, so that the user can open the door assembly of the dishwasher through the user's subsequent operation on the dishwasher, or the door assembly of the dishwasher is automatically opened when the temperature inside the dishwasher is low. In this way, when the temperature and humidity inside the dishwasher are too high, a warning signal is sent to the user, and the dishwasher is dehumidified and cooled by turning on the air extraction device, so that the user can accurately master the temperature inside the dishwasher, avoiding the problem of scalding the user by high-temperature steam when opening the door assembly of the dishwasher, improving the safety of using the dishwasher, and meeting the user's needs.

[0122] Among them, for the specific values of the above first preset value and second preset value, in the actual application process, those skilled in the art can set them according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0123] Embodiment Ten, on the basis of Embodiment Nine, further, the above processing unit 602 can specifically also be used to: control the door assembly to open when the target input of the user is received again within the first preset time; when the target input of the user is not received within the first preset time, control the door assembly to open after the drying program has been executed for the second preset time.

[0124] In this embodiment, when the processing unit 602 determines that the first preset value is less than the operating temperature of the dishwasher and the second preset value is less than the operating humidity of the dishwasher, the exhaust device of the dishwasher is turned on to start the drying program of the dishwasher. On this basis, if within the first preset time after starting the drying program of the dishwasher, the dishwasher receives a target input from the user on a preset area thereon again, it indicates that the user still wants to open the door assembly of the dishwasher while mastering the internal temperature of the dishwasher. At this time, the processing unit 602 responds to the target input of the user and directly opens the door assembly of the dishwasher. If within the first preset time after starting the drying program of the dishwasher, the dishwasher does not receive a target input from the user on a preset area thereon, the drying program of the dishwasher continues to be executed, and after the drying program is completed, the door assembly of the dishwasher is automatically opened. In this way, when the internal temperature and humidity of the dishwasher are too high, after dehumidifying and cooling the dishwasher by turning on the exhaust fan, the door assembly of the dishwasher is opened, avoiding the problem of scalding the user with high temperature when opening the door assembly of the dishwasher, improving the safety of using the dishwasher, and meeting the user's needs.

[0125] Wherein, the above-mentioned second preset time is the time for the drying program to continue to execute after the drying program has executed the above-mentioned first preset time. That is, the sum of the second preset time and the first preset time is the total execution time of the set drying program. After the drying program has executed the above-mentioned first preset time, the temperature inside the dishwasher is still greater than the above-mentioned first preset value, which does not meet the standard for automatic opening of the door assembly. After the drying program has executed the above-mentioned first preset time and the second preset time, that is, after the drying program is completed, the temperature inside the dishwasher is less than or equal to the above-mentioned first preset value, which meets the standard for automatic opening of the door assembly.

[0126] In the actual application process, for the specific values of the above-mentioned first preset time and the second preset time, those skilled in the art can set them according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0127] Embodiment XI. On the basis of Embodiments VII to X, further, the above-mentioned target operation generates a pressure value on the preset area of the dishwasher, and this pressure value is greater than the preset pressure value.

[0128] In this embodiment, the specific form of the above-mentioned target operation is further limited. Specifically, in the process of the user switching the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher by performing a target operation on the preset area of the dishwasher for a preset number of times, the above-mentioned target operation will generate a certain pressure value on the preset area of the dishwasher. When the value of this pressure value is greater than the set preset pressure value, it is determined that the target operation of the user on the preset area is a valid operation.

[0129] That is to say, in this technical solution, on the basis of limiting the input time, input times, and input area of the target input, the input force of the target input is further limited. Only when the input time, input times, input area, and input force of the target input all meet the conditions, it is determined that the dishwasher receives the target input from the user. In this way, while avoiding the influence of environmental factors such as water vapor, magnetic field, electric field, and the user wearing gloves on the dishwasher door opening control method, the accuracy of detecting the user's operation control is further ensured, thereby further ensuring the accuracy of the dishwasher door opening control and meeting the user's needs.

[0131] A memory 702, on which programs or instructions are stored;

[0132] A processor 704, when the processor 704 executes the above programs or instructions, implements the steps of the control method of the dishwasher in any of the above embodiments.

[0133] The control device 700 of the dishwasher provided in this embodiment includes a memory 702 and a processor 704. When the programs or instructions in the memory 702 are executed by the processor 704, the steps of the control method of the dishwasher in any of the above embodiments are implemented. Therefore, the control device 700 of the dishwasher has all the beneficial effects of the control method of the dishwasher in any of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.

[0134] Specifically, the memory 702 and the processor 704 can be connected by a bus or other means. The processor 704 may include one or more processing units. The processor 704 may be a central processing unit (CPU), a digital signal processor (DSP), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), or other chips.

[0135] Embodiment Thirteen Figure 8 The block diagram of the dishwasher 800 provided by the embodiment of the present invention is shown. Among them, the dishwasher 800 includes: a door assembly 802, an air extraction device 804, and the control device 700 of the dishwasher in any of the above embodiments.

[0136] The dishwasher 800 provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes the control device 700 of the dishwasher in the above embodiment. Therefore, the dishwasher 800 has all the beneficial effects of the control device 700 of the dishwasher in any of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.

[0137] Specifically, during the use of the dishwasher 800, in response to a target input on a preset area thereof by the user, the state of the door assembly of the dishwasher 800 is determined. When it is determined that the dishwasher 800 is in a closed-door state, the working state of the dishwasher 800 is further determined. On this basis, if it is determined that the dishwasher 800 is in a non-operating state, that is, the dishwasher 800 is not performing a cleaning task, the door assembly 802 of the dishwasher 800 is directly opened. When it is determined that the dishwasher 800 is in an operating state, that is, the dishwasher 800 is performing a cleaning task, all load switches of the dishwasher 800 are disconnected, and at the same time, the working parameters of the dishwasher 800 are determined, that is, the working temperature and working humidity of the dishwasher 800 are determined.

[0138] Further, when it is determined that the first preset value is greater than or equal to the working temperature of the dishwasher 800, or the second preset value is greater than or equal to the working humidity of the dishwasher 800, the door assembly 802 of the dishwasher 800 is directly controlled to open. When it is determined that the first preset value is less than the working temperature of the dishwasher 800 and the second preset value is less than the working humidity of the dishwasher 800, a warning signal is sent to the user to remind the user that the current temperature and humidity inside the dishwasher 800 are both relatively high. At the same time, the exhaust device 804 of the dishwasher 800 is turned on to start the drying program of the dishwasher 800 for temperature reduction and dehumidification operations on the dishwasher 800.

[0139] On this basis, if within the first preset time after the drying program of the dishwasher 800 is started, the dishwasher 800 receives a target input on a preset area thereof by the user again, it means that the user still wants to open the door assembly 802 of the dishwasher 800 while knowing the temperature inside the dishwasher 800. At this time, the dishwasher 800 responds to the target input of the user and directly opens the door assembly 802 thereon. When the dishwasher 800 does not receive a target input on a preset area thereof by the user within the first preset time after the drying program of the dishwasher 800 is started, the drying program of the dishwasher 800 continues to be executed, and after the drying program is completed, the door assembly 802 of the dishwasher 800 is automatically opened. In this way, while ensuring the accuracy of the door opening control of the dishwasher 800, the problem of scalding the user with high temperature when opening the door assembly 802 of the dishwasher 800 is avoided, the safety of using the dishwasher 800 is improved, and the user's needs are met.
