[0017] In order to make the features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0018] When the following description refers to the 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 the present application. Instead, they are only examples of devices and structures consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the attached claims.

[0019] With the advancement of science and technology, more and more intelligent household appliances have entered human life. For example, washing equipment such as dishwashers and washing machines have brought a lot of convenience to people's lives. After the washing equipment completes the cleaning work, the washed objects will generally be placed in the washing chamber of the washing equipment for a period of time before being taken out for use. Since the washing chamber of the washing equipment is a relatively humid and closed environment, long-term storage will cause odors to be generated, and it is also easy to breed bacteria, which is not good for the health of consumers. Therefore, the operation stages of existing washing equipment are generally divided into washing stage, drying stage and storage stage. The storage function of the dishwasher means that after the dishwasher completes the washing program, it can automatically ventilate and inhibit bacteria, keep the tableware dry and clean, and avoid bacterial growth and odor. In short, the storage function of the dishwasher can help users better protect the hygiene and cleanliness of tableware, avoid secondary pollution and bacterial growth, and improve the user experience.

[0020] However, in the related art, the user is generally required to independently set the time, intensity, mode, etc. of the storage function. The accuracy and precision of the detection of the storage items during the storage stage are not high, and the node and time of starting storage are difficult to determine, which leads to insufficient intelligent storage. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application provides a washing device to solve the above-mentioned technical problem of not being able to timely detect the internal gas of the washing device.

[0021] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a washing device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to facilitate the description of the specific connection method of each component in the washing device 100, the structural schematic diagram of each component in the washing device 100 is used as an example for introduction in the embodiment of the present application, but when the washing device 100 is specifically applied, there may be other specific connection methods that can be realized between the components, so Figure 1The schematic diagram of the component structure in FIG. 1 should not be understood as the only structural method of the washing device 100.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the washing device 100 at least includes a washing chamber 110, an exhaust assembly 120 and a controller 130. The exhaust assembly 120 includes an air inlet 1201 and an exhaust port 1202. The air inlet 1201 is connected to the washing chamber 110, and the exhaust port 1202 is connected to the outside of the washing device 100. Therefore, the gas in the washing chamber 110 can enter the exhaust assembly 120 through the air inlet 1201, and be discharged to the outside of the washing device 100 through the exhaust port 1202 of the exhaust assembly 120, so as to realize the circulation and discharge of the gas in the washing chamber 110. In a possible embodiment, the washing device 100 may be a dishwasher.

[0024] Optionally, a fan 1203, a gas detection element 1204 and a regulating valve plate 1205 are provided in the exhaust component 120. The fan 1203 can speed up the gas circulation speed in the exhaust component 120, and the gas detection element 1204 is used to detect the index data of the gas. The detected gas data can be used to evaluate the quality of the internal gas environment of the washing device 100. Based on this, when the washing chamber 110 is connected to the exhaust component 120, the fan 1203 can speed up the gas circulation speed in the washing chamber 110 to the outside, and the gas detection element 1204 can detect various data of the gas, thereby realizing flexible detection of the gas data in the washing chamber. The regulating valve plate 1205 is used to control the opening of the air inlet 1201 in the exhaust component 120. When the washing chamber 110 does not need to exhaust to the outside, the regulating valve plate 1205 can reduce the opening of the air inlet 1201 so that the washing chamber 110 is not connected to the outside; when the washing chamber 110 needs to exhaust to the outside, the regulating valve plate 1205 can reduce the opening of the air inlet 1201 so that the washing chamber 110 is connected to the outside, thereby realizing flexible control of the exhaust function of the washing equipment 100.

[0025] Optionally, the controller 130 in the washing device 100 is used to execute several functional control methods inside the washing device. Specifically, the controller 130 is connected to the exhaust component 120, and can transmit and receive control signals with the exhaust component 120. Figure 1 As shown in the example, the controller 130 can be installed at the housing of the washing chamber 110 to receive various signals and send various instructions. It can also be installed at other places of the washing device 100. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the installation position of the controller 130.

[0026] Optionally, the storage function for washing equipment is mainly to keep the internal air environment dry, sanitary, and odor-free. Therefore, when storing, the washing equipment needs to detect the internal gas environment in time, so as to determine the subsequent storage and processing strategy according to the quality of the internal gas environment. Since the storage control of washing equipment currently requires manual settings by users, the detection accuracy and precision of the storage items during the storage stage are not high, and the starting node and time of the detection items during the storage process are difficult to determine. The intelligent degree of storage is insufficient, which increases the use cost of the storage function for users and easily affects the user experience. In order to improve the intelligent degree of the storage function of the washing equipment 100, the washing equipment 100 can be made to automatically monitor its own state according to some preset strategies when the intelligent storage function is turned on, determine whether internal gas detection is needed according to the state of the washing equipment 100, and timely capture the equipment's demand for the storage function. When it is necessary to detect the internal gas environment, the gas detection process is automatically triggered to improve the intelligence of the washing equipment 100.

[0027] Optionally, when the washing device 100 turns on the intelligent storage function, it means that the user needs to perform intelligent detection and optimization on the internal gas environment of the washing device 100. Then, the washing device 100 can be immediately tested for internal gas, so as to determine which treatment measures need to be taken according to the internal environment of the washing device 100 at this time, and the subsequent detected internal gas data can also be compared with the internal gas data detected for the first time, and the internal environment storage effect achieved by the intelligent storage function of the washing device 100 can be reflected from the comparison result. Then in the embodiment of the present application, the controller 130 is connected to the exhaust component 120, and the controller 130 is specifically used to trigger gas detection and transmit the trigger signal to the exhaust component 120 when the washing device 100 turns on the intelligent storage function. Based on the trigger signal of the gas detection, the washing device 100 can start internal gas detection, and according to the detection result of the internal gas, further perform appropriate storage matters inside the washing device 100, thereby realizing intelligent storage of the internal gas environment.

[0028] Alternatively, if Figure 1 As shown, the regulating valve plate 1205 has two ends. When the end A is used as the center of the circle and the end B is rotated, the washing chamber 110 and the outside of the device can exist in two states through the exhaust component 120. When the end B is in position 1, the regulating valve plate 1205 is set to the first state. In this case, the opening of the air inlet 1201 of the exhaust component 120 is opened to the maximum extent, so that the washing chamber 110 is connected to the outside of the device. When the washing chamber 110 does not need to be connected to the outside, the end B of the regulating valve plate 1205 can be in position 2. At this time, the regulating valve plate 1205 is in the second state. In this case, the opening of the air inlet 1201 of the exhaust component 120 is the smallest, so that the washing chamber 110 is not connected to the outside of the device.

[0029] Optionally, based on the two states of the regulating valve plate 1205, when the exhaust component 120 receives the trigger signal transmitted by the controller 130, it responds to the trigger signal and sets the regulating valve plate 1205 to the first state, at which time the air inlet 1201 is opened so that the gas in the washing chamber 110 is connected to the outside of the washing device 100. When the washing chamber 110 is connected to the outside through the exhaust component 120, the gas in the washing chamber 110 will gradually diffuse into the exhaust component 120 and the outside, and then the gas detection element 1204 disposed in the exhaust component 120 can detect the data of the gas diffused from the washing chamber 110. Based on this, the exhaust component 120 further turns on the fan 1203, and after the fan 1203 is started, it can accelerate the gas flow speed in the exhaust component 120, which can also accelerate the gas in the washing chamber 110 to circulate to the outside.

[0030] Optionally, when the fan 1203 allows the gas in the washing chamber 110 to flow quickly to the outside, the gas detection element 1204 located in the exhaust component 120 can detect and obtain internal gas data of the washing chamber 110 based on the gas in the washing chamber 110 that flows out quickly.

[0031] Furthermore, the internal gas data detected by the gas detection element 1204 can be used to evaluate the current status of the gas environment in the washing chamber 110, and when the gas environment in the current washing chamber 110 is not good, a specific storage and maintenance program can be started to purify the air environment in the washing chamber 110 of the washing device 100. When evaluating the gas environment in the washing chamber 110, the current gas data in the washing chamber 110 can be compared with a preset standard threshold, which is the normal range of the gas index pre-set for the washing device 100. If the current gas data in the washing chamber 110 is within the normal range, it means that the environment in the washing chamber 110 is good at this time, and no special storage is required; if the current gas data in the washing chamber 110 exceeds the normal range, it means that the environment in the washing chamber 110 is below the standard at this time, and special storage is required, such as dehumidification, deodorization, drying, etc. Another way to evaluate the gas environment in the washing chamber 110 is to obtain the gas data inside the washing chamber 110, then obtain the external gas data of the washing equipment 100, and compare the internal gas data with the external gas data to evaluate whether the current internal gas environment meets the user's usage requirements.

[0032] In a possible implementation, Figure 1As shown, the gas detection element 1204 is arranged near the fan 1203, so that the gas detection element 1204 can detect gas data more accurately at a position where the gas circulation speed is faster. In addition to the first state and the second state, the regulating valve plate 1205 can also be adjusted to any position between position 1 and position 2. By adjusting the different positions of the valve plate 1205, the opening of the air inlet 1201 in the exhaust component 120 is controlled, thereby controlling the degree of connectivity between the washing chamber 110 and the outside world.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present application, a washing device is provided, wherein the washing chamber of the washing device can be connected to the outside world through an exhaust assembly, and the gas in the washing chamber can flow to the outside world through the exhaust assembly, and when the gas inside the washing chamber passes through the exhaust assembly, the gas detection element inside the exhaust assembly can detect the gas data inside the washing chamber of the washing device. Since after the intelligent storage function is turned on, it is indicated that the internal gas environment of the washing device needs to be detected and optimized in real time, the controller immediately triggers the gas detection, so that when the device needs to perform gas detection, it can respond to the gas detection requirements of the device in a timely manner, adjust the position of the regulating valve sheet so that the gas in the washing chamber of the device is connected to the outside world, so that the gas detection element in the exhaust assembly can detect the gas data inside the washing chamber of the device, and realize the effect of automatically triggering the internal gas detection of the device according to the state of the intelligent storage function, thereby improving the intelligence of the storage control of the device.

[0034] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a washing chamber provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate the description of the specific connection method of each component in the washing chamber 110, the structural schematic diagram of each component in the washing chamber 110 is used as an example to introduce in the embodiment of the application, but when the washing chamber 110 is specifically used, there may be other specific connection methods that can be realized between the components therein, so Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the component structure in FIG. 1 should not be understood as the only structural mode of the washing chamber 110 .

[0036] like Figure 2As shown, the washing chamber 110 may further include an inner tank 1101, a door body 1102 and a closed state sensor 1103, wherein the inner tank 1101 has an opening, and the door body 1102 is used to be assembled with the inner tank 1101 to close the opening. The door body 1102 is a tool for the user to open and close the washing chamber 110 of the washing device 100. The door body 1102 may be provided with a slot or a hand pull rod that is convenient for the user to pull, so that the user can open the washing device 100 and place the washed items in the washing chamber 110. After the door body 1102 is assembled with the inner tank 1101, the washing chamber 110 is a closed space, which is convenient for the subsequent internal storage control of the washing device 100. The closing state sensor 1103 is installed on the inner liner 1101 or the door body 1102 , and can be specifically installed at the closing position on the inner liner 1101 when the inner liner 1101 and the door body 1102 are closed, or at the closing position on the door body 1102 when the door body 1102 and the inner liner 1101 are closed.

[0037] Optionally, the closed state sensor 1103 is connected to the controller 130 so that a signal can be transmitted between the closed state sensor 1103 and the controller 130. The closed state sensor 1103 can also trigger a washing chamber closing signal after detecting that the door body 1102 and the liner 1101 are assembled, and transmit the washing chamber closing signal to the controller 130.

[0038] Optionally, when using the washing device 100, the user operates the door 1102 to separate the door 1102 and the inner tank 1101, then places or takes out the washed items, and then operates the door 1102 to close the door 1102 and the inner tank 1101. After opening and closing the door 1102, the gas state inside the washing chamber 110 diffuses with the outside world. Therefore, after closing the door 1102, the gas state inside the washing chamber 110 changes compared to the gas state before opening the door 1102. In order to ensure the sanitation of the gas environment inside the washing chamber 110, when the internal state of the washing chamber 110 changes, an internal gas detection should be immediately performed, and storage should be immediately performed based on the detection result.

[0039] For further information, see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a washing chamber closed according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3As shown, after the door body 1102 and the inner liner 1101 are assembled, the washing chamber becomes closed. The closed state sensor 1103 triggers the washing chamber closing signal after monitoring the assembly of the door body 1102 and the inner liner 1101, and transmits the washing chamber closing signal to the controller 130, indicating that the door body 1102 is changed from an open state to a closed state, and the internal state of the washing chamber 110 has changed. Then, at this time, the controller 130 needs to determine the internal state change information of the washing chamber 110 according to the washing chamber closing signal, trigger gas detection according to the internal state change information, and transmit the trigger signal to the exhaust component 120, so that the exhaust component 120 detects the gas in the washing chamber 110 in response to the trigger signal.

[0040] In a feasible embodiment, when the washing device 100 is a dishwasher, when the user separates the door body 1102 and the inner tank 1101 and closes the door body 1102 and the inner tank 1101, the internal state may change due to the user putting in or taking out tableware. Therefore, in order to ensure the quality of the internal environment of the washing device 100, it is necessary to detect the internal gas of the washing chamber 110 when the internal state of the washing device 100 changes, and take corresponding storage measures according to the detection results.

[0041] Optionally, when the intelligent storage function of the washing device 100 is turned on, in order to ensure the cleanliness of the internal environment of the washing device 100, the washing device 100 can be subjected to a gas detection at regular intervals so that the washing device 100 can maintain the internal environment status in a timely manner. Then, when the intelligent storage function of the washing device 100 is turned on, the controller 130 receives the washing chamber closing signal triggered by the closed state sensor 1103 after monitoring the assembly of the door body 1102 and the inner tank 1101, and the preset timer in the washing device 100 should be started to trigger a gas detection on the washing device 100 every time the timer specifies. It should be noted that the operation of starting the timer does not require manual setting by the user, but is a function of the device itself, which enhances the intelligence of the device.

[0042] Optionally, the timer has two states. During the timing process, the timer is in the timing state, and the gas detection signal is not triggered at this time. When the timing ends, the timer is in the event triggering state, and the corresponding event needs to be triggered at this time. Then, in the embodiment of the present application, when the washing device 100 has turned on the intelligent storage function, the controller 130 determines whether to trigger gas detection based on the state information of the timer in the washing device 100; and if the timer is in the event triggering state, the controller 130 triggers gas detection according to the event triggering state.

[0043] Optionally, the timer can have multiple feasible timing rules for the specified duration. One is that the timer is triggered according to a preset fixed duration, such as triggering gas detection every hour, so that the washing equipment performs internal gas detection and storage every hour. However, considering that the quality of the internal gas environment of the equipment will become better and better with the increase in the number of storage times, the storage requirements of the equipment will gradually decrease. Therefore, the timer can also be triggered according to gradually increasing durations, such as performing internal gas detection and storage once an hour for the first time, and performing internal gas detection and storage once an hour for the second time, and so on, to reduce power consumption generated by unnecessary gas detection and storage processes.

[0044] Furthermore, the timer can also be triggered according to a preset fixed duration in the first time period after startup, and triggered according to a gradually increasing duration after the first time period. For example, within 3 hours, gas detection and storage are triggered once every hour; after 3 hours, the timing duration of the timer is increased, and gas detection and storage are triggered once every one and a half hours for the first time, and once every two hours for the second time, and so on.

[0045] Furthermore, the specified duration of the timer can also be calculated based on the historical internal gas data of the washing equipment 100. In this way, after each gas detection result is obtained, the timing duration of the next round of timer is calculated based on the gas detection result of this time, and the subsequent gas detection and storage of the equipment can be more accurately performed based on the current state of the washing equipment 100. For example, after the washing equipment 100 completes an internal gas detection, the detection result of this time shows that the internal gas environment of the washing equipment 100 is general at this time, then the next timer can be set to trigger the gas detection again after a shorter timing of half an hour, so that the subsequent detection and storage plan can be adaptively formulated according to the immediate situation of the washing equipment 100, which further improves the intelligent storage of the washing equipment 100.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, the washing device 100 also provides a drying function for the internal gas environment, see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a washing device during drying provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the washing chamber 110 in the washing device 100 is also connected to the drying unit 140 , so that the drying unit 140 can perform a drying operation on the washing chamber 110 .

[0047] Specifically, the drying unit 140 includes an air inlet duct 1401, an air inlet fan 1402, and a gas heater 1403. The air inlet duct 1401 includes a drying air inlet 14011 and a drying air outlet 14012, and the drying air inlet 14011 and the drying air outlet 14012 are both connected to the washing chamber 110, so that the gas in the washing chamber 110 can enter the air inlet duct 1401 from the drying air inlet 14011, and after circulating in the air inlet duct 1401, it is discharged from the drying air outlet 14012 and returned to the washing chamber 110.

[0048] Optionally, the air inlet fan 1402 is installed inside the air inlet duct 1401. When the air inlet fan 1402 is turned on, the air flow speed in the air inlet duct 1401 can be accelerated. Preferably, the air inlet fan 1402 can be installed near the drying air outlet 14012 to accelerate the gas that is about to be discharged from the air inlet duct 1401 and circulated into the washing chamber 110.

[0049] Optionally, the gas heater 1403 is also installed inside the air inlet duct 1401. When the gas heater 1403 is turned on, it can heat the surrounding air to achieve a drying effect. Preferably, the gas heater 1403 can be installed near the drying air outlet 14012 and the air inlet fan 1402 to dry and dry the gas that is about to be discharged from the air inlet duct 1401 and circulated into the washing chamber 110. Thereby, the drying effect of the gas in the washing chamber 110 is achieved.

[0050] Then in a possible scenario, when the user operates the door 1102 of the washing chamber 110 so that the door 1102 and the inner tank 1101 are closed, the washing device 100 will be dried, and the washing device 100 needs to complete the drying function set by the user first. If the user does not open or close the door 1102 during the drying process, it means that the washing device 100 may be in an idle state at this time. In order to ensure the internal environment quality of the washing device 100 in the idle state, the internal gas environment of the washing chamber 110 can be automatically triggered for detection and storage, thereby achieving an intelligent storage effect.

[0051] Optionally, the controller 130 in the washing device 100 is used to monitor whether a washing chamber closing signal transmitted by a closing state sensor is received during the operation of the drying function of the washing device. If a washing chamber closing signal transmitted by a closing state sensor is detected during the operation of the drying function, it means that the user has reopened the door; if a washing chamber closing signal transmitted by a closing state sensor is not detected, the controller 130 can automatically turn on the intelligent storage function of the washing device 100 at the end of the drying function, and start a timer according to the turned-on state of the intelligent storage function, so that gas detection is triggered on the washing device 100 every timer's specified duration.

[0052] It should be noted that if there is no door opening and closing operation during the operation of the drying function, the controller 130 can wait for a period of time after the drying function ends before automatically starting the intelligent storage function of the washing device 100. Waiting for a period of time can completely end the effect of the drying function on the internal environment of the washing chamber 110, and the temperature, humidity, circulation speed and other conditions of the gas in the washing chamber 110 are restored to the normal state when the washing chamber 110 is not running. At this time, the internal gas environment detected is more accurate.

[0053] In another embodiment, in addition to automatic control, the washing device 100 can also receive control instructions actively issued by the user through the terminal or the control panel on the washing device 100 when the user generates a smart storage demand. When the user manually turns on the smart storage function of the washing device 100, in order to meet the user's storage needs in a timely manner, an internal gas detection can be performed immediately, that is, the controller receives the smart storage function start signal and controls the washing device 100 to turn on the smart storage function. It should be noted that when the user turns on the smart storage function through the terminal, there will be a communication link between the washing device 100 and the terminal corresponding to the user to realize the signal data transmission between the two. The specific communication mode of the communication link can be various, which can be short-distance communication, such as Bluetooth communication, radio frequency communication, etc., or long-distance communication, such as WIFI wireless communication, mobile network communication, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the communication mode between the washing device 100 and the terminal.

[0054] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of a washing device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0055] like Figure 5 As shown, in the washing device 100, the gas detection element 1204 can be at least a temperature and humidity sensor 12041 and / or an odor sensor 12042. The temperature and humidity sensor 12041 is used to detect the moisture content of the gas. The moisture content of the gas refers to the amount of water vapor contained in the gas, which is usually expressed by parameters such as absolute humidity, relative humidity, and saturated humidity. The moisture content can indicate the current environmental state inside the device. Therefore, the use of the temperature and humidity sensor 12041 is conducive to accurately measuring and controlling the internal moisture content of the washing device 100. The odor sensor 12042 is used to detect the odor concentration, which can detect harmful gases and odors in the gas, and is conducive to accurately measuring and controlling the cleanliness and hygiene of the gas environment in the washing device 100.

[0056] Optionally, when the washing chamber 110 is connected to the outside through the exhaust assembly 120, the fan 1203 in the exhaust assembly 120 is turned on. After the fan 1203 is turned on, the gas flow speed in the exhaust assembly 120 is accelerated, so that the gas in the washing chamber 110 is accelerated to flow through the temperature and humidity sensor 12041 and / or the odor sensor 12042. At this time, the temperature and humidity sensor 12041 and / or the odor sensor 12042 can quickly detect the internal gas data corresponding to the washing chamber 110. Specifically, when the gas detection element 1204 includes the temperature and humidity sensor 12041, the internal gas data of the washing chamber 110 includes the internal moisture content of the washing chamber 110 detected by the temperature and humidity sensor 12041; when the gas detection element 1204 includes the odor sensor 12042, the internal gas data of the washing chamber 110 includes the odor concentration of the washing chamber 110 detected by the odor sensor 12042. If the temperature and humidity sensor 12041 and the odor sensor 12042 exist at the same time, the internal moisture content and odor concentration can be detected at the same time. The diversification of internal gas data is more conducive to accurately judging the subsequent storage strategies that need to be implemented, such as whether a dehumidification and deodorization program, a drying program, etc. are needed.
