[0041] With the rapid development of household appliance technology, dishwashers that can reduce the workload of washing dishes are becoming more and more popular.
[0042] Dishwashers on the market are generally divided into two categories: household and commercial, and household dishwashers are further divided into tabletop dishwashers, vertical dishwashers and sink dishwashers. However, current household dishwashers generally only have the function of washing dishes, and their single function cannot meet people's diverse needs.
[0043] Moreover, as water resources are becoming more and more polluted, more and more families are installing water dispensers at home to purify drinking water. However, in today's world where every inch of land is valuable, the usable space of a house is small. If a dishwasher and a water dispenser are installed, it will undoubtedly take up a lot of space in the house, resulting in a sharp reduction in the available space in the house.
[0044] The present application provides a dishwasher, which is used to solve the problem that the dishwasher and the water dispenser occupy a large space in the house.
[0045] Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows one of the structural schematic diagrams of a dishwasher provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the dishwasher 100 may include a cabinet 10 .
[0046] Optionally, the material of the box body 10 can be stainless steel, plastic, glass, etc., which is not limited in the present application.
[0047] Optionally, the appearance of the box 10 can be designed with different colors and textures according to user needs, and this application does not limit this.
[0048] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a box provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 2 As shown, a washing chamber 101 is provided in the box 10, and an opening 102 communicating with the washing chamber 101 is provided on the box 10. Thus, a user can put tableware into the washing chamber 101 or take tableware out of the washing chamber 101 through the opening 102.
[0049] In some embodiments, the dishwasher 100 may further include a rack, which is disposed in the washing chamber 101 and is used to place tableware. The rack may have multiple layers, and tableware may be placed on each of the multiple layers. Different types of tableware may be placed on the racks at different layers, thereby making fuller use of the space in the dishwasher 100 and improving the washing efficiency of the dishwasher 100.
[0050] Figure 3 An exploded view of a dishwasher provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 1 As shown, the dishwasher 100 may further include a door body 20 , which may be disposed at the opening 102 , and is used to open or close the opening 102 .
[0051] In a possible structural design, the door body 20 is rotatably connected to the housing 10. For example, the door body 20 can be connected to the housing 10 via a hinge. In this way, the user can push the door body 20 to rotate the door body 20, thereby closing or opening the opening 102, making it convenient for the user to use the dishwasher 100.
[0052] It is understandable that the rotatable connection position between the door body 20 and the box body 10 can be located below the opening 102, and the rotatable connection position between the door body 20 and the box body 10 can also be located on the left side, top, right side, etc. of the opening 102, and the present application does not limit this.
[0053] In another possible structural design, the door body 20 is slidably disposed on the box body 10. For example, the box body 10 is provided with a slide groove in the horizontal direction, and the door body 20 is slidably disposed in the slide groove and can slide along the extension direction of the slide groove. In this way, the opening 102 can be opened or closed by pushing the door body 20 horizontally.
[0054] Figure 4FIG. 1 shows a partial structural diagram of a dishwasher provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the dishwasher 100 may further include a water diverter valve 30, the water diverter valve 30 including a first water inlet 301, a first water outlet 302 and a second water outlet 303, the first water inlet 301 being used to communicate with the external water source 1000. In this way, water from the external water source 1000 can enter the dishwasher 100 through the first water inlet 301, and be diverted to various components in the dishwasher 100 through the water diverter valve 30.
[0055] Another example Figure 4 As shown, the dishwasher 100 may further include: a washing water system, which may be disposed on the washing chamber 101 and communicated with the first water outlet 302. It is understood that the washing water system is used to provide water for washing of the dishwasher 100.
[0056] The washing water system may include: a spray device 40, which is disposed on the washing chamber 101 and communicated with the first water outlet 302. In this way, water from the external water source 1000 enters the spray device 40 through the first water outlet 302 of the water diversion valve 30, thereby washing the dishes in the washing chamber 101.
[0057] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of a drinking water assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a door structure provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the dishwasher 100 further includes: a drinking water component 50. The drinking water component 50 may include: a water filter 501, which is disposed in the housing 10, and the water filter 501 has an inlet 5011 and an outlet 5012, and the inlet 5011 is connected to the second water outlet 303. In this way, water from the external water source 1000 passes through the second water outlet 303 of the water diversion valve 30, and enters the water filter 501 from the inlet 5011, is filtered by the water filter 501 to become purified water, and then flows out from the outlet 5012.
[0058] The water filter 501 may be a mesh water filter, an activated carbon filter, an ultraviolet sterilizer, a reverse osmosis membrane filter, an ultrafiltration filter, etc., which is not limited in the present application. It is understood that the water filter 501 may be selected according to the external water source 1000 and the user's water demand, and may be a combination of one or more of the above filters, so as to meet the user's personalized water demand.
[0059] Another example Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the drinking water assembly 50 may further include: a water outlet 502, which is disposed outside the door body 20 and is connected to the outlet 5012. In this way, purified water flows out from the outlet 5012 and enters the water outlet 502 on the door body 20, and the user can receive purified water at the water outlet 502 on the door body 20.
[0060] In a possible implementation, the water outlet device 502 may also be disposed outside the housing 10 . This design simplifies the piping layout and does not prevent the user from opening the door 20 of the dishwasher 100 while collecting water.
[0061] Optionally, the pipeline connecting the water outlet device 502 and the water filter 501 can be set on the outside of the door body 20. Such a pipeline layout is simple and easy to operate; optionally, the pipeline connecting the water outlet device 502 and the water filter 501 can be set on the inside of the door body 20. Such a dishwasher 100 has a better appearance, a simple pipeline layout, and is easy to operate; optionally, the pipeline connecting the water outlet device 502 and the water filter 501 can be set inside the door body 20, which can increase the overall aesthetics of the dishwasher 100 and prevent the pipeline from being bumped.
[0062] Another example Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this way, the water from the external water source 1000 is divided into two paths after passing through the water diversion valve 30, one of which flows to the spray device 40 to rinse the dishes in the washing chamber 101. The other water flows to the water filter 501, and then becomes purified water after being filtered by the water filter 501, and then enters the water outlet device 502 on the door body 20 from the outlet 5012. In this way, the user can receive purified water at the water outlet device 502 on the door body 20 of the dishwasher 100, realizing the integration of the dishwasher and the water dispenser, avoiding the need to provide additional space for the water dispenser after installing the dishwasher in the house, and reducing the internal space of the house occupied by the dishwasher and the water dispenser.
[0063] It is understandable that the height of the dishwasher 100 is usually relatively low, and the position of the water outlet device 502 disposed on the door body 20 of the dishwasher 100 is also relatively low. In this way, the water outlet device 502 is disposed on the door body 20 with a relatively low height, so that disabled people, the elderly and children can receive purified water conveniently, taking into account the diversity of user groups, and achieving tolerance and respect for diverse user groups.
[0064] Figure 7 FIG. 1 shows a partial structural diagram of a dishwasher cabinet provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 As shown, a first drain hole 103 is also provided on the housing 10 , and the first drain hole 103 is communicated with the washing chamber 101 . In this way, waste water after washing dishes can be discharged from the dishwasher 100 through the first drain hole 103 .
[0065] It is understandable that the first drain hole 103 can be connected to the kitchen waste water pipe. In this way, the waste water after washing the dishes enters the waste water pipe through the first drain hole 103 and is discharged from the kitchen.
[0066] Figure 8 The second structural diagram of a dishwasher provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 8 As shown, the drinking water assembly 50 also includes a first valve 503, which includes a second water inlet 5031, a first drain outlet 5032 and a second drain outlet 5033, the second water inlet 5031 is connected to the outlet 5012, the first drain outlet 5032 is connected to the water outlet device 502, and the second drain outlet 5033 is connected to the first drain hole 103.
[0067] In addition, the drinking water component 50 further includes: a water quality detection sensor 504, which is disposed between the water filter 501 and the first valve 503, and is used to detect water quality information. The water quality information may be real-time information of the water quality flowing through the water quality detection sensor 504, or may be water quality information flowing through the water quality detection sensor 504 at a preset time interval.
[0068] Among them, the water quality information that can be detected by the water quality detection sensor 504 may include pH value, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, ammonia nitrogen content, total hardness, total alkalinity, phosphate content, cyanide content, fluoride content, chloride content, total organic carbon content, chemical oxygen demand (CODCr), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), nitrate content (in terms of N), nitrite content (in terms of N), heavy metal content, etc.
[0069] Another example Figure 8 As shown, the drinking water assembly 50 also includes a controller 505 , which is electrically connected to the water quality detection sensor 504 and the first valve 503 , and is used to control the opening and closing of the first drain outlet 5032 and the second drain outlet 5033 .
[0070] In this way, the water quality detection sensor 504 detects the water filtered by the water filter 501, and transmits the detected water quality information to the controller 505, and the controller 505 determines whether the water quality information meets the preset drinking standard. If the water quality information does not meet the preset drinking standard, the controller 505 controls the second drain port 5033 of the first valve 503 to open, and controls the first drain port 5032 to close.
[0071] Exemplarily, the water quality information detected by the water quality detection sensor 504 may be pH value, total hardness and total organic carbon. Among them, the preset drinking standard pH value is set at 6.5-8.5, the drinking standard total hardness is within 450 mg / L (including 450 mg / L), and the drinking standard total organic carbon content is within 4 mg / L (including 4 mg / L). If the controller 505 receives water quality information of pH value, total hardness and total organic carbon, which are all within the preset drinking standard range, the controller 505 determines that the water quality meets the preset drinking standard, and the controller 505 controls the first drain port 5032 of the first valve 503 to open, and controls the second drain port 5033 to close.
[0072] If the controller 505 receives water quality information including pH value, total hardness and total organic carbon, one or more of which are not within the preset drinking standard range, the controller 505 determines that the water quality does not meet the preset drinking standard, and the controller 505 controls the second drain outlet 5033 of the first valve 503 to open, and controls the first drain outlet 5032 to close.
[0073] In this way, water that does not meet the preset drinking standard enters the first drainage hole 103 through the second drainage port 5033 and is discharged from the first drainage hole 103; water that meets the preset drinking standard enters the water outlet device 502 through the first drainage port 5032 for users to drink.
[0074] Fig. 9 A schematic diagram of a water circulation pipeline provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. In a possible implementation, in order to reduce the waste of water resources, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 and Figure 8 As shown, the drinking water assembly 50 further includes: a water circulation pipeline, one end of which is connected to the water filter 501, and the other end is connected to the second drain port 5033. In this way, water that does not meet the preset drinking standard after being detected by the water quality detection sensor 504 enters the water filter 501 from the second drain port 5033 and is filtered again, thereby reducing the waste of water resources.
[0075] In another possible implementation, the second drain outlet 5033 is connected to the spray device 40, and water that does not meet the preset drinking standards after detection by the water quality detection sensor 504 enters the spray device 40 from the second drain outlet 5033 to rinse the tableware in the washing chamber 101, thereby avoiding direct discharge of water that does not meet the preset drinking standards after detection by the water quality detection sensor 504, thereby saving water resources.
[0076] like Figure 6 As shown, a control panel 201 is provided on the door body 20 . Fig.10 FIG. 1 shows one of the structural diagrams of a control panel provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Fig.10As shown, a water quality warning light 2011 is provided on the control panel 201 , and the water quality warning light 2011 is electrically connected to the controller 505 , and the controller 505 is used to control the water quality warning light 2011 to light up or go out.
[0077] So, like Figure 8 and Fig.10 As shown, the water quality detection sensor 504 transmits the water quality detection data to the controller 505. When the controller 505 determines that the water quality does not meet the preset drinking standard, the second drain outlet 5033 is controlled to be opened and the first drain outlet 5032 is controlled to be closed, and the water quality warning light 2011 is controlled to be lit; when the controller 505 determines that the water quality meets the preset drinking standard, the first drain outlet 5032 is controlled to be opened and the second drain outlet 5033 is controlled to be closed, and the water quality warning light 2011 is controlled to be extinguished.
[0078] like Figure 8 As shown, the drinking water assembly 50 also includes a water tank 506, which is disposed in the box body 10. The water tank 506 includes: a water inlet hole 5061 and a second drainage hole 5062. The water inlet hole 5061 is connected to the first drainage port 5032, and the second drainage hole 5062 is connected to the water outlet device 502.
[0079] In this way, when the water filtered by the water filter 501 meets the preset drinking standard, the first drain port 5032 of the first valve 503 is opened and the second drain port 5033 is closed, and the water that meets the preset drinking standard enters the water inlet hole 5061 through the first drain port 5032 and is stored in the water tank 506 for users to drink.
[0080] like Figure 8 As shown, the drinking assembly 50 further includes a second valve 507, which includes: a first inlet 5071 communicated with the second drainage hole 5062, a first water outlet 5072 communicated with the water outlet device 502, and a second water outlet 5073 communicated with the first drainage hole 103. The controller 505 is also electrically connected to the second valve 507, and is used to control the opening and closing of the first water outlet 5072 and the second water outlet 5073.
[0081] Since the water in the water tank 506 is not discharged for a long time, part of the water will remain in the water tank 506 for a long time and then deteriorate and is no longer suitable for drinking. Therefore, in order to ensure the health of the user's drinking water and prevent the user from drinking deteriorated water, the water in the water tank 506 needs to be discharged regularly.
[0082] In this embodiment, the controller 505 controls the water tank 506 to drain water according to a preset drainage cycle. Exemplarily, the preset drainage cycle is 10 days. Thus, every 10 days, the controller 505 controls the water tank 506 to drain the water in the water tank 506. When the controller 505 controls the water tank 506 to drain water, the controller 505 controls the first drain port 5032 of the first valve 503 to close, ensuring that no water enters the water tank 506, and the controller 505 then controls the first water outlet 5072 of the second valve 507 to close and controls the second water outlet 5073 to open.
[0083] In this way, the water in the water tank 506 enters the first inlet 5071 from the second drainage hole 5062 and then enters the first drainage hole 103 from the second water outlet hole 5073 of the second valve 507, and the water in the water tank 506 is finally discharged.
[0084] in addition, Fig.11 FIG. 1 shows one schematic diagram of a water tank structure provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Fig.11 As shown, a water level sensor 506A is also provided in the water tank 506, and the water level sensor 506A is used to detect the water level in the water tank 506. The controller 505 is also electrically connected to the water level sensor 506A, and is used to receive water level data in the water tank 506 and determine whether the water in the water tank 506 is emptied.
[0085] For example, Fig.11 and Figure 8 As shown, when the controller 505 controls the water tank 506 to drain, the water level sensor 506A transmits the detected water level data to the controller 505. When the water level data received by the controller 505 is not zero, the controller 505 determines that the water in the water tank 506 has not been emptied, and continues to control the first drain port 5032 to be closed, and at the same time continues to control the first water outlet 5072 to be closed and the second water outlet 5073 to be opened, and the water tank 506 continues to drain; when the water level data received by the controller 505 is zero, the controller 505 determines that the water in the water tank 506 is emptied, the controller 505 controls the second water outlet 5073 to be closed and the first water outlet 5072 to be opened, and the water tank 506 is drained. At the same time, the controller 505 controls the first drain port 5032 to be opened, and the water tank 506 starts to take in water.
[0086] In one possible implementation, Fig.11 and Figure 8As shown, a water quality detector 506B is also provided in the water tank 506, and the water quality detector 506B is electrically connected to the controller 505. The water quality detector 506B transmits the detected data to the controller 505, and the controller 505 determines whether the water in the water tank 506 meets the preset drinking standard according to the data detected by the water quality detector 506B. When the controller 505 determines that the water in the water tank 506 does not meet the preset drinking standard, the controller 505 controls the first drain port 5032 to close, ensuring that the water tank 506 no longer enters the water, and the controller 505 then controls the first water outlet 5072 of the second valve 507 to close and controls the second water outlet 5073 to open, and the water tank 506 is drained. When the controller 505 determines that the water in the water tank 506 meets the preset drinking standard, the controller 505 controls the second water outlet 5073 to close and controls the first water outlet 5072 to open, and at the same time, the controller 505 controls the first drain port 5032 to open, and the water tank 506 does not drain and enters water normally.
[0087] Considering that the water outlet device 502 is disposed on the door body 20, when the water pressure after being filtered by the water filter 501 is insufficient, it is difficult for the water to flow out from the water outlet device 502 on the door body 20. Figure 8 The drinking water assembly 50 also includes a water pump 508 , which is disposed between the water filter 501 and the water outlet device 502 . The water pump 508 is electrically connected to the controller 505 , and the controller 505 is used to control the start and stop of the water pump 508 .
[0088] When the user takes water from the water outlet device 502 , the controller 505 controls the water pump 508 to start and deliver water to the water outlet device 502 ; when the user does not need to take water from the water outlet device 502 , the controller 505 controls the water pump 508 to stop and no longer deliver water to the water outlet device 502 .
[0089] Optionally, the water pump 508 may be located between the water filter 501 and the first valve 503. This facilitates the acceleration of the water flow, the drainage speed of the second drain port 5033, the water outlet speed of the second water outlet 5073, the water inlet speed of the water tank 506, or the water outlet speed of the water outlet device 502.
[0090] Optionally, the water pump 508 may also be located between the first valve 503 and the water tank 506 ; optionally, the water pump 508 may also be located between the water tank 506 and the second valve 507 ; optionally, the water pump 508 may also be located between the second valve 507 and the water outlet device 502 .
[0091] Fig.12 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a water outlet device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.12As shown, the water outlet device 502 includes a drain valve 5021 , one end of which is connected to the first drain port 5032 ; the drain valve 5021 is also electrically connected to the controller 505 , and the controller 505 is used to control the opening and closing of the drain valve 5021 .
[0092] In the embodiment provided in the present application, when the user needs to take water from the water outlet device 502, the controller 505 controls the water pump 508 to start and at the same time controls the drain valve 5021 to open, and the purified water flows out from the other end of the drain valve 5021, and the user collects the purified water on the door body 20 of the dishwasher 100; when the user does not need to take water from the water outlet device 502, the controller 505 controls the water pump 508 to stop and at the same time controls the drain valve 5021 to close, and the other end of the drain valve 5021 no longer flows out purified water.
[0093] In some embodiments, the water outlet device 502 may further include: a water intake port, which is connected to the other end of the drain valve 5021. It is understandable that the water intake port can be designed as a fixed water intake port or a pull-out water intake port, so that users can choose different water intake ports according to different needs, and this application does not limit this.
[0094] In some embodiments, the user controls the water outlet device 502 to discharge water or stop discharging water by pressing a button on the dishwasher 100. Fig.10 and Fig.12 As shown, a button 2012 is also provided on the control panel 201 , and the button 2012 is electrically connected to the controller 505 ; the controller 505 is used to control the opening and closing of the drain valve 5021 according to the state of the button 2012 .
[0095] Among them, when the button 2012 is in the initial state, the controller 505 does not receive the signal sent by the button 2012, and the water pump 508 and the drain valve 5021 are both in the closed state. When the user needs to receive water, the user manipulates the button 2012 to change the initial state of the button 2012, the controller 505 receives the signal sent by the button 2012, controls the water pump 508 to start and controls the drain valve 5021 to open, the water outlet device 502 starts to discharge water, and the user receives water at the water outlet device 502. When the user needs to stop receiving water, the user manipulates the button 2012 again to restore the button 2012 to the initial state, the controller 505 does not receive the signal sent by the button 2012, controls the water pump 508 to stop and controls the drain valve 5021 to close, the water outlet device 502 stops discharging water, and the user completes receiving water.
[0096] In a possible structural design, the button 2012 is a physical button, which can be flexibly arranged on the control panel 201. When the user releases the physical button, the physical button is reset to facilitate the user to get water next time.
[0097] In another possible structural design, the button 2012 may be an icon on a touch screen, which may be provided on the control panel 201, and the touch screen is electrically connected to the controller 505. In response to the user touching the button 2012, the water outlet device 502 starts to outlet water or stops outlet water.
[0098] In other embodiments, the dishwasher 100 may also control the water outlet device 502 to start or stop discharging water through an electronic device. The electronic device may be electrically connected to the controller 505. For example, the electronic device may be a mobile phone, a PAD, a handheld computer, etc., which is not limited in the present application.
[0099] In some further embodiments, the dishwasher 100 may be further provided with a sound receiving module, and the sound receiving module may be electrically connected to the controller 505. The sound receiving module is used to receive the user's voice.
[0100] In this way, the user can control the water outlet device 502 to start or stop discharging water through voice, which is convenient for the user and improves the user experience.
[0101] In some embodiments, the dishwasher 100 may further include: a memory, which is electrically connected to the controller 505, and the memory may be used to store water quality information detected by the water quality detection sensor 504. The water quality detection sensor 504 transmits the detected water quality information to the controller 505, and the controller 505 stores the received water quality information in the memory, and reflects the water quality information on the touch screen, and the user views the water quality information through the touch screen.
[0102] In a possible structural design, the dishwasher 100 may also be provided with a signal sending device, and the controller 505 may send water quality information to the cloud through the signal sending device. The user's electronic device may obtain the water quality information detected by the water quality detection sensor 504 by acquiring the cloud data, so that the user can understand the water quality status of the purified water.
[0103] Fig.13 The second schematic diagram of a water tank structure provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Fig.13 As shown, a heating device 5063 is provided in the water tank 506, and the heating device 5063 is used to heat the purified water in the water tank 506. The dishwasher 100 further includes a temperature detector 60, which is provided in the water tank 506 and is used to detect the water temperature in the water tank 506; the controller 505 is electrically connected to the temperature detector 60 and the heating device 5063, and is used to control the start and stop of the heating device 5063.
[0104] The temperature detector 60 transmits the detected temperature data to the controller 505, and the controller 505 determines whether the temperature data transmitted by the temperature detector 60 reaches a preset temperature value. The preset temperature value is set according to the user's drinking water needs. When the temperature data is less than the preset temperature value, the controller 505 controls the heating device 5063 to turn on, and the heating device 5063 heats the water in the water tank 506; when the temperature data is greater than or equal to the preset temperature value, the controller 505 controls the heating device 5063 to stop, and the heating device 5063 stops heating the water in the water tank 506. In this way, the user receives water that meets the preset temperature value from the water outlet 502.
[0105] In one embodiment, the heating device 5063 can operate at an adaptive power according to the temperature of the water in the water tank 506 .
[0106] In a possible implementation, when the controller 505 obtains that the temperature data transmitted by the temperature detector 60 is less than the first preset temperature value, the controller 505 controls the heating device 5063 to operate at the first power. When the controller 505 obtains that the temperature data transmitted by the temperature detector 60 is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature value and less than the preset temperature value, the controller 505 controls the heating device 5063 to operate at the second power. The first power is greater than the second power.
[0107] Exemplarily, the first preset temperature value may be 20° C., 30° C., 40° C., etc., which is not limited in the present application.
[0108] In addition, the first power may be 1200W, and the second power may be 800W; the first power may also be 1500W, and the second power may also be 1000W, which is not limited in the present application.
[0109] It can be understood that the operating power of the heating device 5063 can also be set to three or more levels of power, and correspond one-to-one with the multiple preset temperature ranges, so that when the temperature data is in different temperature ranges, the heating device 5063 operates at the corresponding level of operating power to achieve better energy-saving effects.
[0110] Fig.14 FIG. 2 shows a second structural diagram of a control panel provided in an embodiment of the present application. In a possible implementation, the control panel 201 is also provided with a safety lock function, such as Fig.14 and Fig.12As shown, the control panel 201 is also provided with a safety lock button 2013 and an auxiliary button 2014, and the safety lock button 2013 and the auxiliary button 2014 are both electrically connected to the controller 505. When the safety lock button 2013 is pressed, the controller 505 receives a signal from the safety lock button 2013, and the safety lock function is turned on. When the user receives water, the user needs to press the auxiliary button 2014 and the button 2012 at the same time. The controller 505 will control the water outlet device 502 to discharge water only when it receives signals from the auxiliary button 2014 and the button 2012 at the same time. When any signal sent by the auxiliary button 2014 or the button 2012 is missing, the controller 505 controls the water outlet device 502 to stop discharging water.
[0111] Exemplarily, the safety lock button 2013 and the auxiliary button 2014 may both be icons on a touch screen, and the safety lock button 2013 and the auxiliary button 2014 may also be physical buttons, which is not limited in the present application.
[0112] In this way, it can be prevented that the user, especially the child, accidentally touches the button 2012, causing the water outlet device 502 to accidentally discharge water, resulting in the user being scalded by water and wasting water resources.
[0113] In a possible implementation, the drinking water assembly 50 is integrated and designed as an independently installable module, allowing the user to freely choose the installation location according to the kitchen space and personal preference, such as the side of the dishwasher, inside the dishwasher, on the top of the dishwasher, etc. In this way, the personalized needs of the user are met.
[0114] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
