Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electrical appliance control, and particularly relates to a control method, device, storage medium and program product for a cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] A dishwasher is a device for automatically cleaning tableware such as bowls, chopsticks, plates, dishes, knives, forks, etc. Compared with traditional manual dishwashing, the dishwasher not only liberates people's hands but also reduces the chance of germ infection. With the improvement of living standards, dishwashers have become common household appliances in people's lives.

[0003] Existing dishwashers adopt an advanced water circulation system, which reduces water consumption by recycling the cleaning water multiple times. The filtration system can remove food residues in the water, enabling the water to be reused in multiple cleaning stages. The cleaning modes of existing dishwashers are relatively single, and the cleaning water consumption and cleaning time are generally fixed. However, in actual life, the number of tableware to be cleaned by users each time is often different. When the number of tableware to be cleaned is small, the single cleaning control method causes unnecessary waste of cleaning resources. When the number of tableware to be cleaned is large, the fixed cleaning resources may also lead to poor cleaning effects. It can be seen that the cleaning accuracy and efficiency of the cleaning control method of existing dishwashers are not high. Summary of the Invention

These drawings and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept of this application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. Detailed Embodiments

[0045] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail here, and the examples are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application.

[0046] The term "and / or" in this document is used to describe the association relationship of associated objects, and specifically represents three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.

[0047] The control method of the cleaning device in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to any field scenario that requires cleaning tableware.

[0048] Taking the household dishwasher scenario as an example, a dishwasher is a device that automatically cleans tableware such as bowls, chopsticks, plates, dishes, knives, forks, etc. Compared with traditional manual dishwashing, the dishwasher not only liberates people's hands but also reduces the chance of germ infection. With the improvement of living standards, dishwashers have become common household appliances in people's lives.

[0049] Existing dishwashers adopt an advanced water circulation system, reducing water consumption by recycling the cleaning water multiple times. The filtration system can remove food residues in the water, enabling the water to be reused in multiple cleaning stages. The cleaning modes of existing dishwashers are relatively single, and the cleaning water consumption and cleaning time are generally fixed. However, in real life, the number of tableware that users need to clean each time is often different. When the number of tableware to be cleaned is small, the single cleaning control method causes unnecessary waste of cleaning resources. When the number of tableware to be cleaned is large, the fixed cleaning resources may also lead to poor cleaning effects. It can be seen that the cleaning accuracy and efficiency of the cleaning control method of existing dishwashers are not high.

[0050] To solve at least one of the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a control solution for a cleaning device. By separately controlling the first cleaning component and the second cleaning component of the cleaning device to clean the tableware in different areas of the cavity, it is possible to accurately measure the time required for each cleaning component to heat the washing liquid to the target temperature during the separate cleaning process, that is, to obtain the first heating time and the second heating time respectively. This method of zoning control and measurement enables the cleaning device to identify the difference in the heating rate of the washing liquid in different areas. The heating efficiency difference characterizes the difference in the distribution of the tableware to be processed in different areas of the cavity. Furthermore, the cleaning device can dynamically adjust the currently applicable cleaning plan according to the tableware distribution difference, thereby optimizing the energy consumption and efficiency of the cleaning process. This not only improves the intelligent level of the cleaning device but also can be adaptively adjusted according to the actual usage situation to ensure accurate cleaning under different loads and environmental conditions and improve resource utilization.

[0051] The following will describe in detail some embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. Without conflict between the embodiments, the embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. In addition, the step timings in the following method embodiments are only examples and are not strictly limited.

[0052] As Figure 1 shown, this embodiment provides an electronic device 1, including: at least one processor 11 and a memory 12, Figure 1Take a processor as an example. The processor 11 and the memory 12 are connected through the bus 10. The memory 12 stores instructions that can be executed by the processor 11. The instructions are executed by the processor 11 so that the electronic device 1 can execute all or part of the processes of the methods in any of the following embodiments, to adaptively adjust the cleaning plan of the cleaning device according to the actual usage situation, ensure accurate cleaning under different loads and environmental conditions, and improve resource utilization.

[0053] In one embodiment, the electronic device 1 can be an intelligent home appliance device such as a dishwasher or a disinfection cabinet, or can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, or a large computing system composed of multiple computers.

[0054] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of an application scenario 200 of a control system for a cleaning device provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 2 shown, the system includes: a server 210 and a terminal 220, where:

[0055] The server 210 can be a data platform that provides control services for the cleaning device, such as a smart home platform. In an actual scenario, a smart home platform may have multiple servers 210. Figure 2 Take 1 server 210 as an example.

[0056] The terminal 220 can be a device such as a dishwasher, a computer, a mobile phone, or a tablet used by a user to log in to the smart home platform. There can also be multiple terminals 220. Figure 2 Take 2 terminals 220 as an example for illustration.

[0057] Information can be transmitted between the terminal 220 and the server 210 through the Internet so that the terminal 220 can access the data on the server 210. The above terminal 220 and / or server 210 can both be implemented by the electronic device 1.

[0058] The control solution for the cleaning device in the embodiment of the present application can be deployed on the server 210, or can be deployed on the terminal 220, or partially deployed on the server 210 and partially deployed on the terminal 220. In an actual scenario, it can be selected based on actual needs, and this embodiment does not make any limitations.

[0059] When all or part of the control solution for the cleaning device is deployed on the server 210, a call interface can be opened to the terminal 220 to provide algorithm support for the terminal 220.

[0060] The method provided by the embodiment of the present application can be implemented by the electronic device 1 executing corresponding software code and realized by interacting with the server. Among them, the electronic device 1 can be a local terminal device. When the method runs on the server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, where the cloud interaction system includes a server and a client device.

[0061] In a possible implementation manner, the method provided by the embodiment of the present application provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device, where the terminal device can be the aforementioned local terminal device or the client device in the aforementioned cloud interaction system.

[0062] As Figure 3 shown, a cleaning device 300 provided by the present application is communicatively connected to at least one cooking device. The cleaning device 300 may include a cavity 301 and a control module 302, where:

[0063] The cavity 301 is used to place tableware to be processed. A first cleaning component is provided in a first area in the cavity 301, and a second cleaning component is provided in a second area in the cavity 301. Multiple tableware racks can be configured in the cavity 301 to hold tableware, for example Figure 3 taking the upper tableware rack and the lower tableware rack configured in the cavity 301 of the cleaning device 300 as an example.

[0064] The control module 302 is used to obtain the first heating time consumed when the cleaning device 300 heats the introduced washing liquid to a target temperature during the process of the first cleaning component cleaning the tableware to be processed alone. Obtain the second heating time consumed when the cleaning device 300 heats the introduced washing liquid to a target temperature during the process of the second cleaning component cleaning the tableware to be processed alone. Adjust the currently applicable cleaning scheme of the cleaning device 300 according to the first heating time and the second heating time.

[0065] In this embodiment, the cleaning device 300 can be a dishwasher in smart home appliances. The control module 302 of the cleaning device 300 can execute all or part of the processes of the methods in any of the following embodiments to enable the cleaning device 300 to determine the distribution difference of the tableware in different areas in the cavity 301 according to the difference in the heating rate of the washing liquid in different areas, and then dynamically adjust the currently applicable cleaning scheme, so as to optimize the energy consumption and efficiency of the cleaning process, realize adaptive adjustment according to the actual usage situation, ensure accurate cleaning under different loads and environmental conditions, and improve resource utilization.

[0066] In one embodiment, the cleaning device 300 may further include one or more of a heating module, a temperature detection module, a cleaning module, and a drying module.

[0067] Among them, the control module 302, the heating module, the temperature detection module, the cleaning module, and the drying module are electrically connected to each other.

[0068] The cleaning module may include a first cleaning component and a second cleaning component. The first cleaning component and the second cleaning component may be respectively arranged in different areas within the cavity 301, so as to facilitate cleaning of tableware in each area within the cavity 301. For example, the cleaning module may include a first spray arm located in a first area and a second spray arm located in a second area. The spray arms are used to spray the cleaning liquid onto the tableware within the cavity 301, thereby realizing the cleaning of the tableware. In an actual scenario, taking a dishwasher as an example, the cavity 301 of the dishwasher may include multiple layers of tableware racks. The multiple layers of tableware racks may be divided into areas, and different spray arms may be respectively configured for cleaning. For example, it may be divided into a first area and a second area. The first area may be located above the second area. The first spray arm is arranged close to the first area and is mainly responsible for cleaning the tableware in the first area. The second spray arm is arranged close to the second area and is mainly responsible for cleaning the tableware in the second area.

[0069] The temperature detection module may be arranged on the cleaning module within the cavity 301. For example, the temperature detection module may be respectively arranged on the first spray arm and the second spray arm. The number of the temperature detection modules may be one or more, which is used to detect the temperature of the introduced cleaning liquid and feedback the detection result to the control module 302.

[0070] The heating module may be arranged on the cleaning module within the cavity 301. For example, the heating module may be respectively arranged on the first spray arm and the second spray arm, so as to respectively heat the cleaning liquid introduced into the first spray arm and the second spray arm. The spray arms use the heated cleaning liquid to clean the tableware, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 4 , which is the control method of the cleaning device according to an embodiment of the present application. This method can be executed by the Figure 1 shown electronic device 1 and can be applied to the tableware cleaning application scenarios shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 to realize that the cleaning device can determine the distribution differences of the tableware in different areas of the cavity according to the differences in the heating rate of the cleaning liquid in different areas, and then dynamically adjust the currently applicable cleaning plan, so as to optimize the energy consumption and efficiency of the cleaning process, realize adaptive adjustment according to the actual usage situation, ensure accurate cleaning under different loads and environmental conditions, and improve the resource utilization rate. Taking the terminal 220 as the execution end in this embodiment as an example, this method includes the following steps:

[0072] Step 401: Obtain the first heating time consumed when the cleaning device heats the washing liquid to a preset temperature increase during the process of the first cleaning component cleaning the tableware to be processed in the separate cleaning cavity. The first cleaning component is arranged in the first area in the cavity.

[0073] In this step, the cleaning device can be a dishwasher, such as a household dishwasher or a commercial dishwasher. The first area can be the area where the first tableware rack is located in the dishwasher cavity, such as the area where the upper tableware rack of the dishwasher is located. The first cleaning component can be controlled separately to clean the tableware to be processed in the cavity. During this cleaning process, the washing liquid is heated by the heating module of the cleaning device, and the first heating time consumed after the washing liquid is heated to the target temperature is recorded. The target temperature refers to the temperature difference by which the washing liquid rises during the process of the first cleaning component cleaning the tableware to be processed in the cavity alone, and can be set according to actual needs. In the actual scenario, during the heating process of the washing liquid, the tableware will also absorb heat. Under the same heating power, the more tableware there is, the slower the washing liquid heats up, and the fewer tableware there is, the slower the washing liquid heats up. Therefore, by controlling the first cleaning component to work separately, the heating rate of the washing liquid in the first area can be accurately measured, and this heating efficiency can characterize the amount of tableware placed in the first area in the cavity.

[0074] Step 402: Obtain the second heating time consumed when the cleaning device heats the washing liquid to the target temperature increase during the process of the second cleaning component cleaning the tableware to be processed alone. The second cleaning component is arranged in the second area in the cavity.

[0075] In this step, the second area can be the area where the second tableware rack is located in the dishwasher cavity, such as the area where the lower tableware rack of the dishwasher is located. The second cleaning component can be controlled separately to clean the tableware to be processed in the cavity. During this cleaning process, the washing liquid is heated by the heating module of the cleaning device, and the second heating time consumed after the washing liquid is heated to the target temperature is recorded. By controlling the second cleaning component to work separately, the heating rate of the washing liquid in the second area can be accurately measured, and thus the amount of tableware in the second area can be determined.

[0076] It should be noted that the execution order of the above steps 401 and 402 is only an example. In the actual scenario, step 402 can also be executed first, and then step 401. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0077] In one embodiment, before step 401 or 402, it further includes: obtaining the initial temperature of the washing liquid introduced by the cleaning device. Comparing the initial temperature with the preset temperature to determine the current ambient temperature of the cleaning device. Determining the target temperature according to the current ambient temperature.

[0078] In this embodiment, by obtaining the initial temperature of the cleaning device when the cleaning liquid is introduced and comparing it with the preset temperature, the current ambient temperature of the cleaning device can be effectively determined, enabling the cleaning device to sense the change in the ambient temperature, and then dynamically adjusting the target temperature that the subsequent cleaning liquid needs to rise to adapt to different environmental conditions. In this way, the cleaning device can maintain the best heating efficiency and cleaning effect in various environments, reduce the increase in energy consumption or the decline in cleaning effect caused by the change in ambient temperature, and improve the adaptability of the device.

[0079] Taking a dishwasher as an example, when the dishwasher program starts running, it enters the water inlet stage. The temperature detection module detects the initial water temperature T0 at this time (i.e., the initial temperature of the cleaning liquid) and feeds it back to the control module. The control module compares the initial water temperature T0 with the preset temperature, and then determines the external ambient temperature at this time (i.e., the current ambient temperature). For example, when the initial water temperature T0 is less than the preset temperature B1, it is determined that the ambient temperature is cold at this time. When the initial water temperature T0 is greater than the preset temperature B1 and less than the preset temperature B2, it is determined that the ambient temperature is normal at this time. When the initial water temperature T0 is greater than the preset temperature B2, it is determined that the temperature is hot at this time. The preset temperatures B1 and B2 can be set according to actual needs. For example, they can be set according to the temperatures in different seasons of the city where the user actually lives. Taking the temperature in spring in the temperate zone as normal, B1 can be 8 degrees Celsius and B2 can be 20 degrees Celsius. When the initial water temperature T0 is less than or equal to 8 degrees Celsius, it indicates that the current ambient temperature is relatively cold. When the initial water temperature T0 is within the range of (8°C to 20°C), it can be determined that the current ambient temperature is normal. When the initial water temperature T0 is greater than 20 degrees Celsius, it indicates that the current ambient temperature is relatively hot. Under different current ambient temperatures, the target temperature that the cleaning liquid needs to be heated and raised can also be different.

[0080] After the water inlet, the dishwasher enters the heating stage. The water temperature can be heated to the specified temperature T1 through the heating module. Here, the specified temperature T1 can be set according to the current ambient temperature. For example, if the current ambient temperature is relatively high, T1 can be relatively high to improve the cleaning effect. If the current ambient temperature is relatively low, the specified temperature T1 can be relatively low to reduce power consumption.

[0081] After heating to the specified temperature T1, the heating module can be controlled to continue heating at a constant power. The control module only controls the first spray arm for washing and starts timing until the temperature of the washing liquid reaches the specified temperature T2. The time period during which the washing liquid rises from temperature T1 to temperature T2 is recorded as the first heating time X1. Then, the heating module is controlled to continue heating at a constant power. The control module only controls the second spray arm for washing and starts timing until the temperature of the washing liquid reaches the specified temperature T3. The time period during which the washing liquid rises from temperature T2 to temperature T3 is recorded as the second heating time X2. Among them, T3 - T2 = T2 - T1, and the difference between T3 - T2 or T2 - T1 is the target temperature.

[0082] Optionally, the values of the specified temperatures T1, T2, and T3 can be appropriately changed according to the determined current ambient temperature. For example, when the current ambient temperature is cold, lower values of T1, T2, and T3 can be set to reduce the power consumption of heating.

[0083] Step 403: Adjust the current applicable cleaning scheme of the cleaning device according to the first heating time and the second heating time.

[0084] In this step, during the heating process of the washing liquid, the tableware will absorb heat. Under the same heating power, the more tableware there is, the slower the temperature of the washing liquid rises, and the less tableware there is, the slower the temperature of the washing liquid rises. Therefore, the first heating time can accurately characterize the heating rate of the washing liquid in the first area of the cleaning device cavity, and this heating efficiency can characterize the amount of tableware placed in the first area of the cavity. The second heating time can accurately characterize the heating rate of the washing liquid in the second area of the cleaning device cavity, and this heating efficiency can characterize the amount of tableware placed in the second area of the cavity. According to the first heating time and the second heating time, the cleaning device can identify the difference in the heating rate of the washing liquid in different areas. The difference in heating efficiency characterizes the difference in the distribution of the tableware to be processed in different areas of the cavity. Furthermore, the cleaning device can dynamically adjust the current applicable cleaning scheme according to the difference in tableware distribution, thereby optimizing the energy consumption and efficiency of the cleaning process, not only improving the intelligent level of the cleaning device, but also enabling adaptive adjustment according to the actual usage situation to ensure accurate cleaning under different loads and environmental conditions and improve resource utilization.

[0085] In one embodiment, step 403 may specifically include: determining the absolute value of the time difference between the first heating time and the second heating time. If the absolute value of the time difference is greater than a preset threshold and the first heating time is greater than the second heating time, adjust the current cleaning scheme so that the running time of the first cleaning component is greater than the running time of the second cleaning component. If the absolute value of the time difference is greater than a preset threshold and the first heating time is less than the second heating time, adjust the current cleaning scheme so that the running time of the second cleaning component is greater than the running time of the first cleaning component.

[0086] In this embodiment, the absolute value of the time difference between the first heating time and the second heating time can characterize the difference in the heating rate of the washing liquid in different areas of the cleaning equipment cavity. The preset threshold is used to detect the size of the difference in the heating rate of the washing liquid in different areas. The preset threshold can be set according to actual needs, for example, the preset threshold can be 1 minute. When the absolute value of the time difference exceeds the preset threshold, for example, the preset threshold is 1 minute, if the first heating time X1 is greater than the second heating time X2, and the difference between the two is greater than 1 minute, it indicates that the tableware to be processed in the cleaning equipment cavity is more distributed in the first area and relatively less distributed in the second area, and the first cleaning component may need a longer running time to achieve the ideal cleaning effect, so the current cleaning scheme is adjusted to the running time of the first cleaning component is greater than the running time of the second cleaning component. On the contrary, if the first heating time X1 is less than the second heating time X2, and the difference between the two is greater than 1 minute, it indicates that the tableware to be processed in the cleaning equipment cavity is more distributed in the second area and relatively less distributed in the first area, and the second cleaning component may need a longer running time to achieve the ideal cleaning effect, then the currently applicable cleaning scheme is adjusted to the running time of the second cleaning component is greater than the running time of the first cleaning component. This solution can optimize the running time of the cleaning parts according to the actual heating conditions, thereby improving the overall performance and cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment and ensuring the flexibility and targeting of the cleaning process.

[0087] In one embodiment, step 403 may specifically include: if the absolute value of the time difference is less than a preset threshold, adjusting the current cleaning scheme so that the running time of the first cleaning component is equal to the running time of the second cleaning component.

[0088] In this embodiment, if the first heating time is almost the same as the second heating time, it means that the tableware in different areas of the cleaning equipment cavity is distributed relatively evenly, so the operating time of the first cleaning component and the second cleaning component can be adjusted to be the same or similar, thereby achieving a precise cleaning effect.

[0089] Taking the above dishwasher as an example, assume that the dishwasher is placed vertically on the ground, with up being vertically upward and down being vertically downward. The dishwasher cavity includes upper and lower layers of tableware racks, and is provided with two cleaning components, namely an upper spray arm (i.e., the first cleaning component) and a lower spray arm (i.e., the second cleaning component). The upper spray arm is used to spray the washing liquid towards the upper layer of tableware racks, and the lower spray arm sprays the washing liquid towards the lower layer of tableware racks. Compare the numerical values of the first heating time X1 when the upper spray arm operates alone and the second heating time X2 when the lower spray arm operates alone. If X1 << X2, it is determined that the number of tableware on the lower layer of tableware racks is relatively large, and the ratio of the rotation time of the upper spray arm to the rotation time of the lower spray arm during the main washing is set to a preset value Y1, for example, Y1 is less than 1. If X1 and X2 are approximate, for example, the difference between X1 and X2 is less than the preset threshold of 1 minute, it indicates that the distribution of tableware in different areas of the dishwasher cavity is relatively uniform, and it is determined that the number of tableware to be processed on the upper and lower layers of tableware racks is similar. The ratio of the rotation time of the upper spray arm to the rotation time of the lower spray arm during the main washing is set to a preset value Y2, for example, Y2 can be 1. If X1 >> X2, it is determined that the number of tableware to be processed on the upper layer of tableware racks is relatively large, and the ratio of the rotation time of the upper spray arm to the rotation time of the lower spray arm during the main washing is set to a preset value Y3, where Y3 can be greater than 1. Among them, Y1 < Y2 < Y3.

[0090] In one embodiment, step 403 may specifically further include: determining the total time of the first heating time and the second heating time. If the total time is less than the first time threshold, the current cleaning plan is adjusted to control the cleaning device to clean the tableware in the cavity with the first cleaning resource amount. If the total time is greater than the first time threshold and less than the second time threshold, the current cleaning plan is adjusted to control the cleaning device to clean the tableware in the cavity with the second cleaning resource amount. If the total time is greater than the second time threshold, the current cleaning plan is adjusted to control the cleaning device to clean the tableware in the cavity with the third cleaning resource amount. Among them, the third cleaning resource amount is greater than the second cleaning resource amount, and the second cleaning resource amount is greater than the first cleaning resource amount.

[0091] In this embodiment, the intensity of the cleaning requirement can be evaluated by analyzing the sum of the first heating time and the second heating time, and then the current applicable cleaning solution of the cleaning device can be determined. The first time threshold and the second time threshold are used to distinguish the magnitude of the sum of the heating times, which can be set according to actual requirements. The first time threshold is less than the second time threshold, and the sum of the current heating times is analyzed in segments. When the sum of the times is less than the first time threshold, it indicates that the cleaning requirement is low, so the cleaning solution is adjusted to use the least amount of the first cleaning resources for cleaning, thus saving resources. If the sum of the times is between the first time threshold and the second time threshold, the cleaning requirement is moderate, and the cleaning solution is adjusted to use the medium amount of the second cleaning resources to ensure the cleaning effect while maintaining the reasonable use of resources. If the sum of the times exceeds the second time threshold, the cleaning requirement is high, and the system will use the maximum amount of the third cleaning resources to ensure thorough cleaning of the tableware in the cavity. This dynamic adjustment mechanism based on the sum of the heating times can flexibly allocate cleaning resources according to actual requirements, improve the cleaning efficiency and effect, and avoid waste of resources.

[0092] In one embodiment, the amount of cleaning resources includes one or more of the detergent dosage, the washing water consumption, the washing temperature, and the washing time.

[0093] In this embodiment, the cleaning resources include but are not limited to detergents, washing water, washing temperature, and washing time. Therefore, the amount of cleaning resources includes one or more of the detergent dosage, the washing water consumption, the washing temperature, and the washing time. The usage amounts of these cleaning resources can be dynamically adjusted according to the difference in the sum of the detected first heating time and the second heating time. For example, when the sum of the times is short, the system may reduce the detergent dosage and water consumption, and at the same time lower the washing temperature and shorten the washing time to save resources and adapt to the lower cleaning requirement. When the sum of the times is long, the system can increase the usage amounts of these cleaning resources to ensure the cleaning effect in the case of high demand. In this way, the cleaning device can flexibly adjust the cleaning solution according to the actual situation, ensuring both the cleaning effect and the efficient use of resources, and avoiding unnecessary waste.

[0094] Taking the above dishwasher as an example, compare the total time X1 + X2 of the first heating time and the second heating time with the first time threshold C1 and the second time threshold C2. If X1 + X2 <= C1, it is determined that the total number of tableware to be washed is small, and the dishwashing liquid dosage, washing water consumption, main washing temperature, and main washing time adopt Scheme a. When C1 <= X1 + X2 <= C2, it is determined that the total number of tableware to be washed is medium, and the dishwashing liquid dosage, washing water consumption, main washing temperature, and main washing time adopt Scheme b. When C2 <= X1 + X2, it is determined that the total number of tableware to be washed is large, and the dishwashing liquid dosage, washing water consumption, main washing temperature, and main washing time adopt Scheme c. Among them, the cleaning resource amount of Scheme a is less than that of Scheme b, and the cleaning resource amount of Scheme b is less than that of Scheme c.

[0095] In one embodiment, step 403 may specifically further include: controlling the cleaning device to detect the initial temperature of the introduced washing liquid. Compare the initial temperature with the preset temperature to determine the current ambient temperature of the cleaning device. Determine one or more of the first cleaning resource amount, the second cleaning resource amount, and the third cleaning resource amount according to the current ambient temperature.

[0096] In this embodiment, by combining the ambient temperature, the first heating time, and the second heating time to adjust the cleaning scheme of the cleaning device, a more intelligent and efficient cleaning process can be achieved. First, control the cleaning device to detect the initial temperature of the introduced washing liquid and compare it with the preset temperature to determine the current ambient temperature, so that the device can sense the temperature change of the external environment, thereby more accurately evaluating the cleaning conditions. The setting of the preset temperature can refer to the relevant description of the foregoing embodiment and will not be elaborated here.

[0097] According to the detected current ambient temperature, the system can flexibly adjust one or more of the first, second, and third cleaning resource amounts to adapt to different cleaning requirements and environmental conditions. For example, at a lower ambient temperature, it may be necessary to increase the detergent dosage or raise the washing temperature to ensure the cleaning effect. While at a higher ambient temperature, the use of resources can be appropriately reduced, thereby saving energy and costs. In this way, the cleaning device can not only optimize the cleaning scheme according to the heating time, but also further improve the cleaning efficiency and effect by detecting the ambient temperature, reduce the influence of the ambient temperature on the identification of the amount of tableware, and achieve the reasonable allocation and utilization of resources.

[0098] Corresponding cleaning resource allocation schemes can be pre-configured for different ambient temperatures. For example, the ambient temperature is divided into three levels: cold, normal, and hot, and then corresponding first time thresholds, second time thresholds, and cleaning resource amount allocation schemes are set for these three levels. Assume the scheme configuration is as follows:

[0099] Cold: The first time threshold is C1, the second time threshold is C2, the configuration plan for the first cleaning resource amount is a1, the configuration plan for the second cleaning resource amount is b1, and the configuration plan for the third cleaning resource amount is c1.

[0100] Normal: The first time threshold is C3, the second time threshold is C4, the configuration plan for the first cleaning resource amount is a2, the configuration plan for the second cleaning resource amount is b2, and the configuration plan for the third cleaning resource amount is c2.

[0101] Hot: The first time threshold is C5, the second time threshold is C6, the configuration plan for the first cleaning resource amount is a3, the configuration plan for the second cleaning resource amount is b3, and the configuration plan for the third cleaning resource amount is c3.

[0102] On this basis, taking the above dishwasher as an example, the preset temperature is set with the temperature in spring in the temperate zone as normal. When the initial water temperature T0 (i.e., the initial temperature of the washing liquid) is less than or equal to 8 degrees Celsius, it indicates that the current ambient temperature is relatively cold. If it is detected that the current ambient temperature is cold, compare X1 + X2 with the first time threshold C1 and the second time threshold C2 respectively. When X1 + X2 <= C1, it is determined that the total number of tableware to be washed is small, and the dishwashing liquid dosage, washing water consumption, main washing temperature, and main washing time adopt the plan a1. When C1 <= X1 + X2 <= C2, it is determined that the total number of tableware to be washed is medium, and the dishwashing liquid dosage, washing water consumption, main washing temperature, and main washing time adopt the plan b1. When C2 <= X1 + X2, it is determined that the total number of tableware to be washed is large, and the dishwashing liquid dosage, washing water consumption, main washing temperature, and main washing time adopt the plan c1.

[0103] When the initial water temperature T0 is in the range of (8°C to 20°C), it can be determined that the current ambient temperature is normal. If it is detected that the current ambient temperature is normal, compare X1 + X2 with the first time threshold C3 and the second time threshold C4 respectively. When X1 + X2 <= C3, it is determined that the total number of tableware to be washed is small, and the dishwashing liquid dosage, washing water consumption, main washing temperature, and main washing time adopt the plan a2. When C1 <= X1 + X2 <= C4, it is determined that the total number of tableware to be washed is medium, and the dishwashing liquid dosage, washing water consumption, main washing temperature, and main washing time adopt the plan b2. When C4 <= X1 + X2, it is determined that the total number of tableware to be washed is large, and the dishwashing liquid dosage, washing water consumption, main washing temperature, and main washing time adopt the plan c2.

[0104] If the initial water temperature T0 is greater than 20 degrees Celsius, it indicates that the current ambient temperature is relatively hot. If it is detected that the current ambient temperature is hot, compare X1 + X2 with the corresponding first time threshold C5 and second time threshold C6 respectively. When X1 + X2 <= C5, it is determined that the total number of tableware to be washed is small, and the dishwashing liquid dosage, washing water consumption, main washing temperature, and main washing time adopt Scheme a3. When C5 < X1 + X2 <= C6, it is determined that the total number of tableware to be washed is medium, and the dishwashing liquid dosage, washing water consumption, main washing temperature, and main washing time adopt Scheme b3. When C6 <= X1 + X2, it is determined that the total number of tableware to be washed is large, and the dishwashing liquid dosage, washing water consumption, main washing temperature, and main washing time adopt Scheme c3.

[0105] Among them, the corresponding cleaning resource amounts in Scheme a1, Scheme b1, and Scheme c1 can be adjusted and configured according to the actual situation when the ambient temperature is cold. The corresponding cleaning resource amounts in Scheme a2, Scheme b2, and Scheme c2 can be adjusted and configured according to the actual situation when the ambient temperature is normal. The corresponding cleaning resource amounts in Scheme a3, Scheme b3, and Scheme c3 can be adjusted and configured according to the actual situation when the ambient temperature is hot.

[0106] The control method of the above cleaning equipment senses the initial water temperature T0 during the water inlet stage of the dishwasher through a temperature sensor, thereby determining the current ambient temperature. In the program pre-washing stage, first heat the water temperature to the specified temperature T1, and then only turn on the upper spray arm to heat and wash at a constant power, and start timing until the washing water temperature reaches the specified temperature T2. Then only turn on the lower spray arm to heat and wash at the same constant power, and start timing until the washing water temperature reaches the specified temperature T3. Combining the judgment result of the ambient temperature, comparing the time lengths from T1 to T2 and from T2 to T3 under different ambient temperatures, the number of tableware to be washed on the upper and lower tableware racks can be determined, and the cleaning mode of the subsequent program can be automatically set, reducing the influence of the ambient temperature on the judgment of the tableware to be washed, realizing centralized cleaning using limited cleaning resources, ensuring the cleaning effect of the tableware, saving energy at the same time, and reducing the waiting time of users.

[0107] Please refer to Figure 5 , which is the control method of the cleaning equipment according to an embodiment of the present application. Taking the control scenario of the dishwasher as an example, the method includes the following steps:

[0108] Step 501: The program starts, and the temperature detection module records the initial water temperature T0 introduced into the dishwasher, and compares T0 with the preset temperature to determine the current ambient temperature.

[0109] Step 502: The heating module heats the water temperature to the specified temperature T1 and starts timing.

[0112] Step 505: Based on the detection results of Step 503 and Step 504, determine the number of tableware on the upper tableware rack and the lower tableware rack, and adjust the subsequent washing program according to the determined number of tableware.

[0168] Please refer to Figure 7 , which is the control device 700 of the cleaning equipment according to an embodiment of the present application. This device can be applied to Figure 1 the electronic device 1 shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 the application scenarios shown in

[0169] The first acquisition module 701 is configured to acquire the first heating time consumed by the cleaning equipment to heat the washing liquid introduced into the target temperature when the first cleaning component separately cleans the tableware to be processed in the cavity. The first cleaning component is arranged in the first area of the cavity.

The second cleaning component is arranged in the second area of the cavity.

[0171] The adjustment module 703 is configured to adjust the currently applicable cleaning scheme of the cleaning equipment according to the first heating time and the second heating time.

[0172] In one embodiment, the adjustment module 703 is specifically configured to determine the absolute value of the time difference between the first heating time and the second heating time. If the absolute value of the time difference is greater than a preset threshold and the first heating time is greater than the second heating time, the current cleaning solution is adjusted such that the running time of the first cleaning component is greater than that of the second cleaning component. If the absolute value of the time difference is greater than a preset threshold and the first heating time is less than the second heating time, the current cleaning solution is adjusted such that the running time of the second cleaning component is greater than that of the first cleaning component.

[0173] In one embodiment, the adjustment module 703 is specifically configured to, if the absolute value of the time difference is less than a preset threshold, adjust the current cleaning solution such that the running time of the first cleaning component is equal to that of the second cleaning component.

[0174] In one embodiment, the adjustment module 703 is specifically configured to determine the total time of the first heating time and the second heating time. If the total time is less than a first time threshold, the current cleaning solution is adjusted to control the cleaning device to clean the tableware in the cavity using a first amount of cleaning resources. If the total time is greater than the first time threshold and less than a second time threshold, the current cleaning solution is adjusted to control the cleaning device to clean the tableware in the cavity using a second amount of cleaning resources. If the total time is greater than the second time threshold, the current cleaning solution is adjusted to control the cleaning device to clean the tableware in the cavity using a third amount of cleaning resources. Herein, the third amount of cleaning resources is greater than the second amount of cleaning resources, and the second amount of cleaning resources is greater than the first amount of cleaning resources.

[0175] In one embodiment, the amount of cleaning resources includes one or more of the amount of detergent dispensed, the amount of washing water used, the washing temperature, and the washing time.

[0176] In one embodiment, the adjustment module 703 is further specifically configured to control the cleaning device to detect the initial temperature of the washing liquid introduced. Compare the initial temperature with a preset temperature to determine the current ambient temperature of the cleaning device. Determine one or more of the first amount of cleaning resources, the second amount of cleaning resources, and the third amount of cleaning resources according to the current ambient temperature.
