Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.
[0033] This application provides a control method for a cavity dishwasher. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is one of the flowcharts illustrating the control method for a cavity dishwasher provided in this application. In this embodiment, the control method for a cavity dishwasher includes steps 110 to 130, each step being as follows: Step 110: Generate a first control command and / or a second control command based on the user's first operation command.
[0034] Step 120: In response to the first control command, control the first chamber to execute the first function program.
[0035] Step 130: In response to the second control command, control the second chamber to execute the second function program.
[0036] In this embodiment, the multi-chamber dishwasher includes at least two chambers, including a first chamber and a second chamber; the first chamber and the second chamber are physically separated by a partition. Specifically, the multi-chamber structure can be formed by the dishwasher door, the partition disposed inside the dishwasher, and the inner wall of the dishwasher.
[0037] With a two-chamber structure, a split-chamber dishwasher can be configured with left and right chambers or upper and lower chambers.
[0038] The multi-chamber dishwasher also includes a water system, a heating system, and a drying system; at least two chambers include a first chamber and a second chamber; wherein the first chamber and the second chamber share at least one of the water system, the heating system, and the drying system.
[0039] In some embodiments, the multi-chamber dishwasher may further include at least one of a disinfection system and a detergent dispensing system; the disinfection system and the detergent dispensing system may also be shared by the first chamber and the second chamber.
[0040] The water system is used to introduce water into the machine, distribute it to each spray arm, and perform effective cleaning and drainage. Optionally, the water system may include components such as a washing pump, water cup, filter, and breather to ensure that the cleanliness, temperature, and flow rate of the water meet the cleaning requirements.
[0041] The heating system heats the wash water to enhance cleaning effectiveness and dries the dishes using residual heat after washing. Optionally, the heating system may include a heat pump assembly, typically installed within the dishwasher's water circuit, to heat the wash water as needed.
[0042] The drying system is used to evaporate or blow dry the moisture on the dishes after washing, preventing water stains and improving the drying effect. Drying systems can use hot air drying, which includes a heater, fan, and air ducts. The heater heats the air to promote moisture evaporation; the fan accelerates the drying process by blowing hot air, and the air ducts circulate the hot air within the dishwasher to dry the dishes. In some cases, the drying system can use adsorption drying. Adsorption drying systems can include a fan, adsorption modules, and air ducts. The fan guides air from inside the dishwasher to the adsorption module via the air ducts to absorb moisture and dry the dishes.
[0043] Disinfection systems are used to achieve effective disinfection through high temperatures or other disinfection technologies. A disinfection system can employ one or more of the following methods—high-temperature disinfection, ultraviolet disinfection, plasma disinfection, or ozone disinfection—to disinfect various sub-chambers.
[0044] A detergent dispensing system is used to dispense an appropriate amount of detergent into the washing chamber during the washing process. The system may include a detergent dispenser and a detergent dispenser; the dispenser holds the detergent, and the dispenser releases the detergent from the dispenser into the washing chamber or water pipes.
[0045] It should be noted that the sharing of the system between the first chamber and the second chamber means that the functions and hardware of the first chamber and the second chamber overlap when using these systems. At least some components of the system can provide work for both the first chamber and the second chamber, and can work together to improve the dishwashing effect and efficiency.
[0046] For example, taking a water system as an example, the first chamber and the second chamber can be supplied with water by the same washing pump, and the washing water flows into the first chamber and the second chamber respectively through different pipes.
[0047] For example, taking the hot air drying system in the drying system as an example, the first chamber and the second chamber can be heated by the same set of heaters, and the heaters are connected to the first chamber and the second chamber respectively through different air ducts.
[0048] For example, in a disinfection system, the first chamber and the second chamber can be disinfected using the same disinfection module.
[0049] For example, taking a detergent dispensing system as an example, the first chamber and the second chamber can be dispensed with detergent through the same detergent dispenser. The detergent dispenser is connected to the first chamber and the second chamber through different pipes, or the detergent dispensed by the detergent dispenser is connected to the water supply pipes of the first chamber and the second chamber through different pipes.
[0050] By parsing the user's first operation command, a first control command and / or a second control command can be obtained; wherein, the first control command is a control command used to drive the first chamber to operate, and the second control command is a control command used to drive the second chamber to operate.
[0051] User commands can be generated by the user operating the settings panel on the dishwasher, or by the user inputting voice or gesture commands, or by the user operating a specific application on an electronic device.
[0052] In some embodiments, the first operation command can also be combined with sensor information from the split-cavity dishwasher to generate control commands; wherein the sensor information may include door signals, basket status signals, etc. Sensor information can provide more information to assist the split-cavity dishwasher in analyzing and understanding the purpose of the user's first operation command, thereby obtaining the first control command and / or the second control command.
[0053] In response to a first control command, the first chamber can be controlled to execute a first function program; in response to a second control command, the second chamber can be controlled to execute a second function program.
[0054] In one embodiment, only a first control command may be generated based on the user's first operation instruction. Afterward, the first chamber begins operation, executing the first functional program; the second chamber remains inactive.
[0055] In one embodiment, a second control command may be generated based solely on the user's first operating instruction. Afterward, the second chamber begins operation, executing the second functional program; the first chamber remains inactive.
[0056] In one embodiment, a first control command and a second control command can be generated simultaneously based on the user's first operation instruction. Then, both the first and second chambers begin operation, with the first chamber executing the first functional program and the second chamber executing the second functional program.
[0057] In this embodiment, the first functional program and the second functional program are the same functional program or different functional programs.
[0058] According to the control method of the split-chamber dishwasher according to the embodiments of this application, the first chamber and the second chamber can be separated by a partition. The two chambers can execute the same function program or different function programs and can operate independently. Furthermore, the first chamber and the second chamber share at least one of the water system, heating system and drying system, which can save production costs and reduce the size and weight of the dishwasher.
[0059] It is important to emphasize that, because the first and second chambers are physically separated by a partition, compared to a partitioned dishwasher, this design avoids water splashing in the first chamber affecting the clean dishes stored in the second chamber when the first chamber is in cleaning mode and the second chamber is in storage mode. In this embodiment, each chamber of the partitioned dishwasher can operate independently and can execute the same or different programs, providing greater cleaning flexibility and targeting, and better handling diverse user needs.
[0060] Optionally, the function program includes programs corresponding to program modes, which may include a washing mode, a drying mode, or a storage mode; the washing mode includes quick wash, normal wash, and intensive wash.
[0061] Specifically, quick wash is suitable for lightly soiled situations where drying is not required; normal wash is the default standard washing program; and intensive wash is suitable for heavily soiled, dried oil stains.
[0062] In other embodiments, the cleaning modes may also include gentle wash, smart wash, energy-saving wash, disinfection wash, hot pot wash, self-cleaning, fruit and vegetable wash, seafood wash, etc.
[0063] Specifically, the gentle wash is suitable for glassware; the smart wash can automatically identify and match dirt; the energy-saving wash takes a longer time, achieving water and electricity savings through thorough soaking; the disinfection wash is also equipped with a continuous high-temperature sterilization function; the hot pot wash uses high water pressure to wash heavy oil stains; the self-cleaning wash is used to keep the inside of the dishwasher clean; the fruit and vegetable wash is used to clean fruits and vegetables, removing dirt while keeping the skin intact; and the seafood wash is used to clean seafood, achieving efficient cleaning without hurting your hands.
[0064] In some embodiments, the first functional program and the second functional program are two functional programs with the same program mode. In this case, the parameter information of the first functional program and the parameter information of the second functional program may be the same or different. The parameter information includes information such as start time and water volume.
[0065] In some embodiments, the first functional program and the second functional program are two functional programs with different program modes. For example, the first chamber can perform a quick wash in the cleaning mode, while the second chamber can perform a storage mode.
[0066] In some embodiments, the first functional program and the second functional program are two cleaning modes with different program patterns. For example, the first chamber can perform a light wash in the cleaning mode, while the second chamber can perform an intensive wash in the cleaning mode.
[0067] For example, a split-chamber dishwasher can have an upper and lower chamber structure, with the first chamber being the upper chamber and the second chamber being the lower chamber. The upper chamber performs a small-volume wash program, reducing the user's bending over when placing dishes and achieving energy efficiency; the lower chamber's spray arm increases water pressure, which can enhance the washing of a single area, thereby realizing an enhanced wash program.
[0068] Based on any of the above embodiments, the first chamber and the second chamber share a water circuit system; further comprising: when the first functional program and the second functional program are the same and both are enhanced wash, controlling that at the same time, the sum of the power demand of the water pump in the first functional program and the power demand of the water pump in the second functional program does not exceed the rated operating parameters of the washing pump in the water circuit system.
[0069] In this embodiment, the first chamber and the second chamber share a water system, which includes a washing pump for water supply. The water system can meet the standard washing requirements of the first chamber and the second chamber. However, since the enhanced wash requires higher water pressure and spray intensity, when the first and second functional programs are the same and both are enhanced wash programs, it is necessary to detect the power demand of the first water pump for the enhanced wash performed by the first chamber and the power demand of the second water pump for the enhanced wash performed by the second chamber at the same time, and monitor whether the sum of the power demand of the first water pump and the power demand of the second water pump exceeds the rated operating parameters of the washing pump in the water system.
[0070] If the sum of the power demand of the first water pump and the power demand of the second water pump at the same time does not exceed the rated operating parameters of the washing pump in the water circuit system, it proves that the washing pump can meet the water flow demand of the two chambers, and no adjustment is required. If the sum of the power demand of the first water pump and the power demand of the second water pump at the same time exceeds the rated operating parameters of the washing pump in the water circuit system, in order to ensure the normal operation of the washing pump, it is necessary to fine-tune the timing of the first function program and / or the second function program. For example, the spraying in the first chamber and the second chamber can be staggered, and the spraying in the second function program can be carried out after the spraying stage in the first function program is completed, so as to meet the working requirements of the compartment dishwasher.
[0071] Based on any of the above embodiments, the water system may include an inlet solenoid valve, a breather, a water softener, a drain pump, a water cup, a washing pump, and a water distribution valve; the inlet solenoid valve is connected to the breather, the breather is connected to the water softener, the water softener is connected to the water cup, and the water cup is connected to the drain pump and the washing pump respectively; the washing pump is connected to the water distribution valve; the water distribution valve is used to control the water flow into the first chamber when executing the first functional program and / or to control the water flow into the second chamber when executing the second functional program.
[0072] The water inlet solenoid valve is used to control the flow rate and timing of water entering the dishwasher, and can be connected to an external water inlet pipe.
[0073] The breather helps maintain internal air pressure balance during the dishwasher's draining and water-filling processes, and prevents wastewater from flowing back into the dishwasher during drainage.
[0074] Water softeners are used to remove minerals such as calcium and magnesium from water to prevent scale buildup.
[0075] The washing pump is used to pump water to the washing arm, creating a strong water flow to clean the dishes.
[0076] The drain pump is used to remove wastewater from the dishwasher and can be connected to an external drain pipe.
[0077] The water cup is used to monitor and control the water level in the dishwasher.
[0078] The water distribution valve includes an inlet, a first outlet, and a second outlet. The inlet is connected to the washing pump, the first outlet is connected to the washing arm of the first chamber, and the second outlet is connected to the washing arm of the second chamber. The water distribution valve can control the water flow into the first chamber when executing the first functional program and / or control the water flow into the second chamber when executing the second functional program.
[0079] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the cavity dishwasher provided in the embodiment of this application.
[0080] In this embodiment, the split-chamber dishwasher includes a first chamber 210, a second chamber 220, a partition 230, and a chassis 240. The first chamber 210 is the upper chamber of the dishwasher, the second chamber 220 is the lower chamber, and the partition 230 is disposed between the first chamber 210 and the second chamber 220.
[0081] The water system can be installed in the chassis 240. Specifically, the water system may include a motor M, an inlet solenoid valve 251, a breather 252, a water softener 253, a drain pump 254, a water cup 255, a washing pump 256, and a water distribution valve 257. The incoming water flows sequentially through the inlet solenoid valve 251, the breather 252, and the water softener 253 before entering the water cup 255. The washing pump 256 is used to draw water from the water cup 255 and, in conjunction with the control of the water distribution valve 257, inputs the water flow into the washing arms of the first chamber 210 and / or the second chamber 220.
[0082] Wastewater from the first chamber 210 and the second chamber 220 after spraying is collected. The wastewater can enter the water cup 255 for secondary use, or be discharged directly through the drain pump 254.
[0083] This embodiment discloses the specific structure of a split-chamber dishwasher. The first chamber and the second chamber share a water circuit system. Water is input into the washing arms of the first chamber and / or the second chamber through a water distribution valve, which can save production costs and reduce the size and weight of the dishwasher. Furthermore, by monitoring the power demand of the water pump, the water circuit system can meet the needs of various washing modes while maintaining the normal operation of the split-chamber dishwasher.
[0084] Based on any of the above embodiments, the steps following the generation of the first control instruction according to the user's first operation instruction may further include: Receive the user's second operation instruction; obtain the current program status of the first chamber; generate a third control instruction based on the second operation instruction and the current program status; and control the second chamber to execute the third function program in response to the third control instruction.
[0085] In this embodiment, after generating the first control command based on the user's first operation command, in addition to controlling the first chamber to execute the first function program, the split-chamber dishwasher can also continue to receive the user's operation commands.
[0086] For example, while the first chamber is executing its first function program, it can also respond to user commands to instruct the second chamber to perform its work. Specifically, in generating the third control command, it is also necessary to obtain the current program state of the first chamber, generate the third control command based on the second operation command and the current program state, and the second chamber can execute the third function program based on the third control command.
[0087] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, since the first chamber and the second chamber share at least one of the water system, heating system and drying system, when the second chamber also needs to execute a function program, the program status of the first chamber also needs to be considered so that the various systems of the split-chamber dishwasher will not be overloaded. In addition, the function program between the two chambers can be optimized to achieve energy saving.
[0088] For example, the first chamber is in the final rinse stage of the washing program. In an independently running program, the water from the final rinse is collected and discharged through a drain pump. However, if the program is optimized to work between the two chambers, the water from the final rinse can be collected by a water cup and used as a pre-rinse water source for the second chamber, thus achieving the purpose of recycling.
[0089] Based on any of the above embodiments, the step of controlling the second chamber to execute a third functional program in response to a third control command may specifically include: According to the third function program, adjust the timing of the execution of the first function program in the first chamber.
[0090] In this embodiment, after the second chamber determines that the third function program needs to be executed, the timing of the first function program executed in the first chamber can be adjusted to achieve the coordinated operation of the first function program and the second function program.
[0091] For example, the first and second chambers share a disinfection and drying system. The first chamber has completed washing and is about to enter the drying and disinfection stage. At this time, the second chamber is about to perform the third function program, which also involves drying and disinfection. Therefore, the first chamber can pause its entry into the drying and disinfection stage and wait for the second chamber to enter the drying and disinfection stage before starting, so that the first and second chambers can enter the drying and disinfection stage at the same time, thus realizing the sharing of the disinfection and drying system.
[0092] In this embodiment, the first functional program executed by the first chamber and the second functional program executed by the second chamber have a synergistic effect. The third control command of the second chamber can be determined according to the current program state of the first chamber, thereby controlling the second chamber to execute the third functional program. Conversely, the third functional program can also affect the timing of the first functional program executed by the first chamber, thereby achieving synergistic operation and improving the overall user experience of the multi-chamber dishwasher.
[0093] In the cavity dishwasher of this embodiment, the cavity structure can be formed by the dishwasher door and partition; the cavity dishwasher includes at least two chambers, namely a first chamber and a second chamber. With the two-chamber structure, the cavity dishwasher can be a left-right cavity structure or a top-bottom cavity structure.
[0094] Alternatively, the partition can be a fixed partition, thus forming a fixed cavity structure.
[0095] Optionally, the partitions can be automatically adjustable. The interior of the dishwasher is divided into sections, with different chambers separated by partitions. The position of the partitions can be automatically controlled by components such as motors, rather than manually set by the user.
[0096] Since the partition is automatically adjustable, its position can also be controlled based on different input conditions. For example, if it is detected that dishes are placed in different areas and the washing mode is the same, the partition can be moved to connect different chambers.
[0097] Optionally, the partition is a removable movable partition, which allows the dishwasher to be divided into chambers by manual installation by the user, and to be disassembled by the user to obtain a dishwasher with a large chamber.
[0098] Furthermore, the dishwasher door affects the compartment structure. In some embodiments of the compartment dishwasher, each compartment has a corresponding door, and the compartments and doors are independent of each other.
[0099] In some other embodiments of the multi-chamber dishwasher, each chamber has a corresponding door. The chambers are not entirely independent of each other, and the doors can also be nested.
[0100] Please see Figures 3 to 5 , Figure 3 This is one of the schematic diagrams of the door structure of the cavity dishwasher provided in the embodiments of this application; Figure 4 This is the second schematic diagram of the door structure of the cavity dishwasher provided in the embodiments of this application; Figure 5 This is the third schematic diagram of the door structure of the cavity dishwasher provided in the embodiments of this application.
[0101] like Figure 3 As shown, the door structure of the split-chamber dishwasher includes a door frame 310, a first door body 320 corresponding to the first chamber, and a second door body 330 corresponding to the second chamber. The first door body 320 and the second door body 330 are independent. The split-chamber dishwasher has an upper and lower chamber structure, with the first chamber being the upper chamber and the second chamber being the lower chamber.
[0102] like Figure 4 As shown, the door structure of the split-cavity dishwasher includes a door frame 410, a first door body 420 corresponding to the first cavity, and a second door body 430 corresponding to the second cavity. The first door body 420 and the second door body 430 are nested. The split-cavity dishwasher has an upper and lower cavity structure, with the first cavity being the upper cavity and the second cavity being the entire cavity.
[0103] It should be noted that, due to the presence of partitions, therefore... Figure 4The dishwasher shown also has a lower chamber, which can be considered as a third chamber that cannot be opened independently.
[0104] Considering that users can reduce bending over when using the top rack of the dishwasher, and that the top rack is used more frequently than the bottom rack, a similar approach is adopted. Figure 4 This unique door design allows for both single-door opening and full-door opening, better meeting user needs. The upper chamber can be used when washing a small amount of tableware, while the entire chamber can be used when washing a large amount of tableware.
[0105] like Figure 5 As shown, the door structure of the split-chamber dishwasher includes a door frame 510, a first door 520 corresponding to the first chamber, a second door 540 corresponding to the second chamber, and a third door 530 corresponding to the third chamber. The third door 530 is the entire door of the split-chamber dishwasher, and the first door 520 and the second door 540 are nested within the third door 530.
[0106] A split-chamber dishwasher has an upper and lower chamber structure. The first chamber is the upper chamber, the second chamber is the lower chamber, and the third chamber is the entire chamber.
[0107] When the first door 520 is opened, only the upper chamber is opened; when the second door 540 is opened, only the lower chamber is opened; when the third door 530 is opened, the entire chamber is opened.
