Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, in particular to a long-term storage control system for a dishwasher. Background Art

[0002] Dishwashers have been widely used in people's lives. After using dishwashers, users will use them as a storage space for tableware and store the tableware in the dishwasher for a long time. This requires the dishwasher to have a long-term storage function to ensure that the tableware in the dishwasher is clean and hygienic, so that users can use it with confidence.

[0003] At the end of washing, the existing dishwasher uses a drain pump to drain water, and there will be residual water in the inner tank water cup. Long-term storage will cause odor and bacterial growth, which will contaminate the tableware. Existing dishwashers use residual heat drying + hot air drying, which cannot effectively ensure the dry state of the inner tank and the odor of the tank environment, and cannot provide an environment for long-term storage of tableware. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention is to solve the technical problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art and provides a long-term storage control system for a dishwasher.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme: a long-term storage control system for a dishwasher, including a controller, a monitoring module, a dehumidification and drying module, and a odor removal and sterilization module, so that the dishwasher can reach a state of long-term storage. The monitoring module monitors the rinse agent, residual water in the inner tank and humidity in the dishwasher and transmits the information to the controller. The controller decides whether to start the dehumidification and drying module and the odor removal and sterilization module based on the received information.

[0006] The monitoring module includes a rinse agent identification sensor, a humidity sensor, an odor sensor and a residual water identification sensor. The rinse agent identification sensor is located inside the rinse agent cavity or attached to the surface of the rinse agent cavity, the humidity sensor is located inside the inner tank or the sensor probe is deep inside the inner tank and inside the air outlet channel or at the outlet, the odor sensor is located inside the inner tank or the sensor probe is deep inside the inner tank, and the residual water identification sensor is located at the bottom of the dishwasher water cup.

[0007] The dehumidification and drying module is located inside the inner tank of the dishwasher or is attached to the outer wall of the inner tank or is connected to the inner tank through a channel.

[0008] The odor removal and sterilization module is located inside the inner tank of the dishwasher or is attached to the outer wall of the inner tank or is connected to the inner tank through a channel.

[0009] The control method is:

[0010] S1: The brightener recognition sensor detects whether there is brightener in the brightener chamber. If there is brightener, the adding procedure (normal drying procedure) is executed; if not, the non-adding procedure (enhanced drying procedure) is executed;

[0011] S2: The humidity sensor detects the humidity of the inner tank and the air outlet, and the zero residual water identification sensor detects whether there is water residue in the inner tank. If there is no water residue, the program ends. If there is no water residue, the dehumidification and drying module is started and step 2 is repeated;

[0012] S3: The humidity sensor detects the humidity of the inner tank and the exhaust port in real time. If the humidity exceeds the standard, the dehumidification and drying module is started until the humidity is within the standard.

[0013] S4: The odor sensor monitors the odor of the environment in the inner tank in real time. If the odor exceeds the standard, the odor removal and sterilization module is activated until the odor is qualified.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the technical solution uses sensors to monitor the states of brightener, residual water in the inner tank, humidity and odor, and uses a dehumidification and drying module and an odor removal and sterilization module to ensure that the dishwasher can reach a state that allows long-term storage after washing is completed.

[0019] The technical solution of the present invention is further specifically described below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Embodiment: A long-term storage control system for a dishwasher, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes a controller, a monitoring module, a dehumidification and drying module, and a odor removal and sterilization module, so that the dishwasher can reach a state of long-term storage. The monitoring module monitors the rinse agent, residual water in the inner tank and humidity in the dishwasher and transmits the information to the controller. The controller decides whether to start the dehumidification and drying module and the odor removal and sterilization module based on the received information.

[0021] The monitoring module includes a brightener recognition sensor, a humidity sensor, an odor sensor and a zero residual water recognition sensor. The brightener recognition sensor is located inside the brightener cavity or attached to the surface of the brightener cavity. The brightener cavity is generally set on the door body assembly. The humidity sensor is located inside the inner tank or the sensor probe is deep inside the inner tank and inside the air outlet channel or at the outlet. The odor sensor is located inside the inner tank or the sensor probe is deep inside the inner tank. The zero residual water recognition sensor is located at the bottom of the dishwasher water cup.

[0022] The dehumidification and drying module is located inside the inner tank of the dishwasher or is attached to the outer wall of the inner tank or is connected to the inner tank through a channel.

[0023] The odor removal and sterilization module is located inside the inner tank of the dishwasher or is attached to the outer wall of the inner tank or is connected to the inner tank through a channel.

[0024] The control method is:

[0025] S1: The brightener recognition sensor detects whether there is brightener in the brightener chamber. If there is brightener, the adding program is executed (the conventional drying program is started); if not, the non-adding program is executed (the enhanced drying program is started);

[0026] S2: The humidity sensor detects the humidity of the inner tank and the air outlet, and the residual water identification sensor detects whether there is water residue in the inner tank. If there is no water residue, the program ends. If there is no water residue, the dehumidification and drying module is started and step 2 is repeated;

[0027] S3: The humidity sensor detects the humidity of the inner tank and the external environment in real time. If the humidity exceeds the standard, the dehumidification and drying module is activated until the humidity is within the standard.

[0028] S4: The odor sensor monitors the odor of the environment in the inner tank in real time. If the odor exceeds the standard, the odor removal and sterilization module is activated until the odor is qualified.

[0029] The above content is a further detailed description of the technical solution provided in combination with the preferred implementation methods of this patent. It cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to the above descriptions. For ordinary technicians in the technical field to which this patent belongs, without departing from the concept of this patent, they can also make several simple deductions or substitutions, which should be deemed to fall within the scope of protection of this patent.
