[0037] To enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] In related technologies, the washing liquid in tableware processing equipment is mostly installed inside the inner tank used to hold tableware. When the tableware processing equipment is working, the temperature inside the inner tank is high. If it is in a high-temperature environment for a long time, the composition of the washing liquid will change. The active enzymes in the washing liquid are easily deactivated in a high-temperature environment, which affects the cleanliness of the tableware.

[0039] Based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a tableware processing device, which aims to at least partially solve the technical problem that the washing liquid in the tableware processing device is easily affected by the high temperature environment and fails inside the inner tank used to contain tableware.

[0040] This application provides a tableware processing device. Figure 1 A side view of a tableware processing device according to one or more embodiments of this application is shown; Figure 2 It shows Figure 1 Enlarged view of the structure at point A in the middle; Figure 3 It shows Figure 1 Enlarged view of the structure at point B; Figure 4 A top view of a tableware handling device according to one or more embodiments of this application is shown. (In conjunction with...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 This application discloses a tableware processing device, including an inner liner 11 and a storage body 12. The inner liner 11 is suitable for accommodating tableware. The storage body 12 is disposed outside the inner liner 11 and located on the side of the inner liner 11. The storage body 12 has a liquid storage chamber 121 and a water storage chamber 122, both of which are connected to the inner liner 11. The liquid storage chamber 121 is suitable for holding detergent, and the water storage chamber 122 is suitable for storing water.

[0041] The storage body 12 is placed outside the inner liner 11 to prevent the washing liquid in the liquid storage chamber 121 from being affected by the high temperature of the inner liner 11 during operation, thus reducing the risk of washing liquid failure. At the same time, the storage body 12 can avoid occupying the internal space of the inner liner 11, which is conducive to expanding the capacity of the inner liner 11 to store tableware. The storage body 12 is located on the side of the inner liner 11, which can make full use of the internal space of the tableware processing equipment 1, and the storage body 12 can be installed without increasing the height of the tableware processing equipment 1.

[0042] The dishwashing equipment is generally a dishwasher. When the dishwashing equipment 1 is working, the inner tank 11 is filled with hot water. At this time, the detergent in the liquid storage chamber 121 and the hot water in the inner tank 11 are separated by the inner wall of the liquid storage chamber 121 and the inner wall of the inner tank 11 to prevent the detergent from being decomposed by high temperature.

[0043] It should be noted that the side of the inner pot 11 refers to the side portion of the inner pot 11, excluding the top or bottom of the inner pot 11. If the storage body 12 is placed at the top or bottom of the inner pot 11, it will increase the height of the tableware processing equipment 1 and may easily cause the inner pot 11 to be damaged by the storage body 12 or the storage body 12 to be damaged by the inner pot 11, which is not conducive to the stability of the tableware processing equipment 1.

[0044] The liquid storage chamber 121 contains detergent, and the water storage chamber 122 contains water. The detergent and water can be used to clean the tableware inside the inner liner 11 to remove food residue and grease from the surface of the tableware, ensuring hygiene and safety during use.

[0045] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments, the tableware processing device 1 further includes a door 13, and the inner liner 11 has a pick-up and put-out opening 111 through which tableware can be picked up and put in. When the tableware processing device 1 is working, the door 13 covers the pick-up and put-out opening 111 to prevent water and steam inside the inner liner 11 from leaking out, so as to ensure safe use. The storage body 12 is located on one side of the pick-up and put-out opening 111, which facilitates maintenance of the storage body 12. For example, the tableware processing device 1 has a front, a rear, a left and a right, the pick-up and put-out opening 111 is located at the front of the tableware processing device 1, and the storage body 12 is located at the left or rear of the tableware processing device 1. The user can operate the storage body 12 from the front of the tableware processing device 1.

[0046] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the liquid storage chamber 121 corresponds to the closed position of the door 13, that is, the door 13 is adjacent to the storage body 12 when closed. On the one hand, the internal space of the tableware processing equipment 1 can be fully utilized. On the other hand, the liquid storage chamber 121 can be staggered from the inner liner 11 to reduce the risk of decomposition of the washing liquid under long-term high temperature environment.

[0047] In some embodiments, the storage body 12 is disposed along the length direction of the inner liner 11 (e.g., Figure 4 In the direction b), and the dimension of the storage body 12 in the length direction of the inner liner 11 is smaller than the dimension of the storage body 12 in the width direction of the inner liner 11 (e.g., in the direction b). Figure 4The dimension in the a direction of the inner pot 11 is reduced by minimizing the length of the storage body 12 in the inner pot 11 and making full use of the space in the width direction of the inner pot 11. This reduces the length of the tableware processing device 1 in the inner pot 11, thereby saving space.

[0048] It should be noted that the length direction of the inner liner 11 is from the left to the rear of the tableware processing device 1; the width direction of the inner liner 11 is from the front to the rear of the tableware processing device 1.

[0049] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments, the storage body 12 further includes a mixing chamber 123, which is connected to the interior of the liquid storage chamber 121, the water storage chamber 122, and the inner liner 11. The detergent in the liquid storage chamber 121 and the water in the water storage chamber 122 flow into the mixing chamber 123 and mix. The mixed water then flows into the inner liner 11 to clean the tableware, which helps to evenly spread the detergent in the inner liner 11 and increases the cleaning power. Mixing the detergent and water in the mixing chamber 123 makes it easy to adjust the ratio of detergent to water, which is beneficial to the cleaning work.

[0050] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments, the mixing chamber 123 is located below the liquid storage chamber 121 and the water storage chamber 122. The washing liquid or water can flow downwards to the mixing chamber 123 under the action of gravity, saving power. At the same time, it is beneficial to drain the liquid inside the liquid storage chamber 121 and the water storage chamber 122, which facilitates regular cleaning of the storage body 12 and improves the safety of use.

[0051] In some embodiments, the mixing chamber 123 is provided with a drain port 1231, and the tableware processing device 1 may include a drain pipe 153 (not shown in the figure). One end of the drain pipe 153 is connected to the mixing chamber 123 through the drain port 1231, and the other end is connected to the interior of the inner liner 11. The drain pipe 153 is suitable for conveying the liquid inside the mixing chamber 123 to the inner liner 11. The drain port 1231 may be located at the bottom of the mixing chamber 123, which is beneficial for discharging the liquid inside the mixing chamber 123.

[0052] Combination Figure 1In some embodiments, the tableware processing device 1 includes a pump body 14, with the inlet end of the pump body 14 connected to the storage chamber 121 and the outlet end of the pump body 14 connected to the mixing chamber 123. The pump body 14 is suitable for providing power for the flow of washing liquid. The storage body 12 is provided with a mounting groove 124 for the pump body 14, which provides a fixed space for the pump body 14 and helps to reduce the vibration of the pump body 14 during operation. The mounting groove 124 is located between the storage chamber 121 and the mixing chamber 123. The washing liquid in the storage chamber 121 flows into the mixing chamber 123 with the power and gravity assistance of the pump body 14, reducing the power consumption of the pump body 14. The mounting groove 124 can penetrate the storage body 12 along the length of the inner liner 11, facilitating the installation and removal of the pump body 14 from the length of the inner liner 11. Since the volume of the water storage chamber 122 is larger than that of the liquid storage chamber 121, the mounting groove 124 can be positioned below the liquid storage chamber 121 to fully utilize the space below the liquid storage chamber 121 and facilitate the operation of the pump body 14. The opening of the mounting groove 124 can also be located on the side of the storage body 12 away from the water storage chamber 122, facilitating the disassembly of the pump body 14. The thickness of the pump body 14 can be less than the length of the storage body 12 along the inner liner 11 to prevent the pump body 14 from protruding from the surface of the storage body 12. The pump body 14 can be a metering pump for accurate measurement and delivery of washing liquid.

[0053] The pump body 14 is an electronic component. Compared to placing the pump body 14 inside the inner liner 11, placing the pump body 14 on the storage body 12 can prevent the high temperature and high humidity environment inside the inner liner 11 from damaging the pump body 14 and can extend the life of the pump body 14. At the same time, placing the pump body 14 outside the inner liner 11 can prevent the pump body 14 from occupying the space inside the inner liner 11 and increase the loading capacity of the tableware processing equipment 1.

[0054] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the storage body 12 further includes an acid-base sensor 125, the probe of which is located inside the mixing chamber 123. Generally, the washing solution is an alkaline substance. By detecting the acidity or alkalinity of the liquid inside the mixing chamber 123 using the acid-base sensor 125, it can be determined whether the washing solution is present in the mixing chamber 123. If the detection result of the acid-base sensor 125 is neutral or acidic, it is determined that the washing solution is not present in the mixing chamber 123; if the detection result of the acid-base sensor 125 is neutral or acidic, it is determined that the washing solution is present in the mixing chamber 123.

[0055] If the pH value detected by the acid-base sensor 125 reaches the set pH value (pH value is an indicator used to represent the strength of acidity or alkalinity of a solution; pH value is between 0 and 14, with 7 indicating neutrality, below 7 indicating acidity, and above 7 indicating alkalinity), then the washing solution is determined to have entered the mixing chamber 123 normally. If the pH value detected by the acid-base sensor 125 still does not reach the set pH value after the pump body 14 starts dispensing the washing solution, the current data of the pump body 14 is acquired. If there is no current data from the pump body 14, the pump body 14 is determined to be faulty and the user is reminded to report the problem in time. If there is no current data from the pump body 14, the pipeline is determined to be blocked and the user is reminded to activate the pipeline self-cleaning mode.

[0056] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments, a first liquid level sensor 126 is provided in the liquid storage chamber 121. When the liquid level inside the liquid storage chamber 121 is lower than a first set liquid level, the first liquid level sensor 126 determines that the liquid storage chamber 121 is short of liquid. The first liquid level sensor 126 can be a pressure sensor, which can be located at the lower end of the side wall. By judging the pressure of the liquid inside the liquid storage chamber 121, the liquid level of the liquid storage chamber 121 can be determined. Of course, in other embodiments, the first liquid level sensor 126 can also be a float-type liquid level gauge.

[0057] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments, the storage body 12 includes an additive component 15, which has a filling chamber 151 that communicates with the storage chamber 121. The interior of the additive component 15 is connected to the storage chamber 121. Washing liquid is added to the storage chamber 121 through the filling chamber 151, and the storage chamber 121 serves to temporarily store the washing liquid. The additive component 15 is located at the top of the inner liner 11, and a filling port 152 is provided at the top of the filling chamber, allowing the user to add washing liquid to the storage chamber 121 without bending over, which is convenient for the user. A heat insulation component is provided between the additive component 15 and the inner liner 11, which can insulate the heat of the inner liner 11 and prevent the washing liquid inside the additive component 15 from being affected by high temperature and deteriorating.

[0058] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments, the additive component 15 is provided with a drain pipe 153, which connects the interior of the additive component 15 and the storage chamber 121. The detergent can be drained into the interior of the storage chamber 121 through the drain pipe 153, so there is no need to install the storage chamber 121 near the additive port. The position of the storage body 12 can be flexibly adjusted, which is beneficial to the internal layout of the tableware processing equipment 1.

[0059] Combination Figure 4In some embodiments, the storage body 12 further includes an exhaust pipe 154, which is connected to the liquid storage chamber 121. While the washing liquid flows into the liquid storage chamber 121, the air inside the liquid storage chamber 121 is discharged through the exhaust pipe 154, so that the air pressure inside the liquid storage chamber 121 is balanced, which is conducive to the smooth flow of the washing liquid into the liquid storage chamber 121.

[0060] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments, the additive component 15 has an exhaust chamber 155, and an air outlet 1221 is provided on the exhaust chamber 155. The air inside the liquid storage chamber 121 flows to the exhaust chamber 155 through the exhaust pipe 154 and is discharged from the air outlet 1221. Therefore, it is not necessary to open an exhaust outlet on the storage body 12, reducing the processing steps.

[0061] In this embodiment, the addition of washing liquid and the discharge of liquid from the storage chamber 121 are achieved through the additive component 15. The exhaust chamber 155 and the filling chamber 151 are set independently, so that the addition of washing liquid can be carried out smoothly.

[0062] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the water storage chamber 122 is provided with an air outlet 1221 and a water inlet 1222, which are respectively connected to the interior of the water storage chamber 122. When water is introduced, as water flows into the water storage chamber 122, gas can be discharged from the air outlet 1221 to maintain the air pressure balance inside the water storage chamber 122, which is conducive to the smooth flow of water into the water storage chamber 122. The water inlet 1222 is positioned higher than the air outlet 1221 to prevent water from overflowing from the air outlet 1221. The water inlet 1222 can be located at the bottom of the water storage chamber 122, which is conducive to the balanced flow of incoming water and reduces water flow fluctuations inside the water storage chamber 122.

[0063] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The storage body 12 also includes a float 127. When the water level in the water storage chamber 122 reaches the set water level, the float 127 blocks the air outlet 1221. Because the float 127 has buoyancy, it can move with the change of water level. When the water level inside the water storage chamber 122 reaches the set water level, the float 127 blocks the air outlet 1221 to prevent air from escaping from inside the water storage chamber 122. At this time, the pressure inside the water storage chamber 122 rises, and the water inlet 1222 stops water from entering.

[0064] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, a limiting part 128 is provided inside the water storage chamber 122. The interior of the limiting part 128 forms an active cavity 1281 for the float 127, thereby restricting the active area of ​​the float 127. This allows the piston to accurately block the air outlet 1221 when the water level reaches a set level, ensuring the normal operation of the float 127. The inner wall of the active cavity 1281 is provided with at least one through hole 1282, through which water can flow. After the water level inside the water storage chamber 122 rises to a certain height, it enters the interior of the limiting part 128 through the through hole 1282, pushing the float 127 to float upward, thereby blocking the air outlet 1221. The top wall of the limiting part 128 is connected to the upper end of the water storage chamber 122, and the top wall of the active cavity 1281 is provided with the air outlet 1221. The through hole 1282 can be provided on the side wall or bottom wall of the limiting part 128 to facilitate the flow of water into the limiting part 128.

[0065] In some embodiments, a second liquid level sensor 1291 can be installed inside the water storage chamber 122. When the liquid level inside the water storage chamber 122 is lower than a second set liquid level, the second liquid level sensor 1291 determines that the water storage chamber 122 is short of liquid. The second liquid level sensor 1291 can be a pressure sensor, which can be installed at the lower end of the side wall. By determining the pressure of the liquid inside the water storage chamber 122, the liquid level of the water storage chamber 122 can be determined. Of course, in other embodiments, the second liquid level sensor 1291 can also be a float-type liquid level gauge.

[0066] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, a power pump 1292 may be provided on the storage body 12. The power pump 1292 connects the water storage chamber 122 and the mixing chamber 123 to drive the water inside the water storage chamber 122 to flow to the mixing chamber 123. The power pump 1292 may be a motor.

[0067] This application also provides a control method for a tableware handling device, including:

[0068] Obtain the pH value of the liquid in mixing chamber 123;

[0069] If the pH value is less than the set value, the dishwashing liquid is deemed to have been added abnormally.

[0070] Since the washing solution is alkaline, the presence of washing solution in the mixing chamber 123 can be determined by comparing the pH value of the liquid inside the mixing chamber 123 with a set value. If the pH value detected by the pH sensor 125 is neutral or acidic, it is determined that there is no washing solution in the mixing chamber 123; otherwise, it is determined that there is washing solution in the mixing chamber 123. Generally, the set value is set to 7. The pH value of the liquid inside the mixing chamber 123 can be detected by the pH sensor 125.

[0071] In some implementation schemes, after determining that the dishwashing liquid dosage is abnormal, the following steps are taken:

[0072] Control the operation of the pump body 14;

[0073] If the pH value is less than the set value, the status information of the pump body 14 is obtained;

[0074] If the status information is normal, it is determined that the dishwashing liquid dispensing pipe is blocked;

[0075] If the status information is abnormal, then the pump body 14 is determined to be faulty;

[0076] The pump body 14 is used to drive the dishwashing liquid into the mixing chamber 123, and the status information includes current information.

[0077] If the pH value detected by the acid-base sensor 125 still does not reach the set pH value after the pump body 14 is started, the status information of the pump body 14 is obtained, and the condition of the pump body 14 is determined based on the status information of the pump body 14. If there is no current data in the pump body 14, it is determined that the pump body 14 is faulty and the user is reminded to report the repair in time. If there is no current data in the pump body 14, it is determined that the pipeline is blocked and the user is reminded to activate the pipeline self-cleaning mode.

[0078] In some implementation schemes, the following are included:

[0079] The system obtains the water level of the dishwashing liquid. If the water level is lower than the set water level, a low liquid warning is issued to the user.

[0080] By comparing the dishwashing liquid level with the set level, it can be determined whether there is a liquid shortage, thus preventing the dishwashing equipment from malfunctioning due to insufficient liquid. The water level in the storage chamber 121 can be detected by the first liquid level sensor 126.

[0081] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature being directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.
