Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic circuit technology, and more specifically to a door lock composite control circuit. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, dishwashers have become a widely accepted kitchen appliance. Dishwashers using BLDC motors (brushless motors) are particularly popular due to their superior performance and energy efficiency. Dishwashers typically use high-temperature hot water for washing; if the dishwasher door is accidentally opened during the wash cycle, it can easily cause injury from the hot water jets. Therefore, door lock detection and control systems are crucial for preventing such accidents.

[0003] Currently, dishwasher door lock detection circuits on the market are generally divided into low-voltage control and high-voltage control. Low-voltage control disconnects the 12V power supply to the relay controlling the wash pump via the door lock, stopping the wash pump when the door is opened. High-voltage control disconnects the 220V power supply connected to the wash pump via the door lock, stopping the wash pump when the door is opened. Dishwashers use BLDC motors as wash pumps, and stopping the BLDC motor can only be achieved by sending communication data, which is not very secure. Utility Model Content
