The first diode D1 is configured to prevent the power voltage (24V) from being connected reversely.

[0054] As shown in Figure 3 , the electrode probe 10 includes a first electrode PR1 and a second electrode PR2, and the transformer 22 Trans Cup1 includes a primary winding and a secondary winding. The electrode probe 10 in the embodiment can adopt a double-needle water level electrode, such as DM143-SC. The first end of the primary winding is connected to the first electrode PR1, and the second end is connected to the second electrode PR2. The first end and the second end of the secondary winding are connected to the sampling module 23. Further, the transformer 22 in the embodiment is connected to the electrode probe 10 through the connector Header2.

[0055] As shown in Figure 3 , the sampling module 23 in the embodiment includes a resonance unit U11, a first voltage division unit and a second voltage division unit, the first voltage division unit has a first voltage division node, and the second voltage division unit has a second voltage division node. The resonance unit U11 in the embodiment is preferably a NE555P chip.

[0056] The first end of the first voltage divider unit is connected to the operating voltage (5V), the first voltage divider node is connected to the second end of the secondary winding, and the second end of the first voltage divider unit is connected to the DISC discharge pin 7 of the resonant unit U11.

The THRS comparison input pin 6 and TRIG trigger input pin 2 of the resonant unit are connected to the first end of the secondary winding.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first voltage-dividing unit includes a first voltage-dividing resistor R34 and a second voltage-dividing resistor R35. The first end of the first voltage-dividing resistor R34 is used to form the first end of the first voltage-dividing unit. The second end of the first voltage-dividing resistor R34 is connected to the first end of the second voltage-dividing resistor R35 to form a first voltage-dividing node.

The second end of the fourth voltage-dividing resistor R37 is used to form the second end of the second voltage-dividing unit.

[0058] First and second electrodes PR1 and PR2 are inserted into the liquid in the washing machine. Due to the addition of detergent to the liquid, an equivalent capacitance is formed between the first and second electrodes PR1 and PR2. This, combined with the transformer and NE555P peripheral circuitry, forms an equivalent capacitance / inductance / resistance complex. Electrode probe 10 is used to generate a sensing signal representing the concentration of the solution being tested. Specifically, a potential difference is generated across the primary winding of transformer Trans Cup 1. The secondary winding of transformer Trans Cup 1 is connected to the NE555P chip, generating a square wave signal PROBE_5V with a certain period at output pin OUT. This signal, after passing through a second voltage divider, generates a sampling signal PROBE. In this embodiment, sampling signal PROBE is a square wave signal. When the concentration of detergent changes, the effective value of the equivalent capacitance / inductance / resistance complex formed between the first and second electrodes PR1 and PR2 changes, causing its charge and discharge cycle to change, thereby causing the NE555P resonant frequency to change. This means the period of sampling signal PROBE changes. Based on the measured period of sampling signal PROBE, control module 24 generates a control signal representing the concentration.

[0059] Specifically, after the resonant unit is started, the equivalent capacitor formed between the first electrode PR1 and the second electrode PR2 begins to charge, and its voltage gradually increases. When the voltage of the equivalent capacitor formed between the first electrode PR1 and the second electrode PR2 reaches the comparison threshold, the resonant unit will output a high level and simultaneously turn off the discharge tube, causing the equivalent capacitor to stop charging. When the voltage of the equivalent capacitor drops to the reset threshold, the resonant unit will output a low level and simultaneously turn on the discharge tube, causing the equivalent capacitor to start discharging. Cycle timing: When the voltage of the equivalent capacitor drops below the comparison threshold, the resonant unit will restart the charging cycle, thereby forming a periodic square wave. When the equivalent capacitance value changes, the above-mentioned charging cycle and discharge cycle change, and the period of the square wave signal changes.

[0060] The transformer in this embodiment also plays an isolation role. When a short circuit occurs between the first electrode PR1 and the second electrode PR2, the circuit board of the concentration detection circuit will not be damaged.
