Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dishwasher technology, and in particular to a dishwasher that displays water consumption and power consumption. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the advancement of technology, dishwasher sales have gradually shown an upward trend. However, people's acceptance of dishwashers still needs to be improved. On the one hand, people mainly believe that dishwashers consume a lot of water and electricity. But in fact, the amount of water used by a dishwasher to complete a cycle is not more than that of traditional hand washing. The main reason for this misunderstanding is that people's living habits cannot be changed all at once. At present, there is no dishwasher on the market that can intuitively show the data to users. Therefore, if users do not read the instruction manual or consult the manufacturer, they will not know the water consumption and power consumption of the dishwasher, so they will assume in their minds that dishwashers consume a lot of water and electricity. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a dishwasher that displays water consumption and power consumption.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

This allows users to intuitively feel that the dishwasher is more energy-efficient and water-saving, which is conducive to users' acceptance of the dishwasher product.

[0022] 2. The dishwasher that displays water consumption and power consumption proposed in this utility model has a scale prevention module, a breather to prevent backflow of water, and a water softener to soften the water, eliminating metal ions in the water and reducing the generation of dirt on the sanitary ware.

[0023] 3. This utility model proposes a dishwasher that displays water consumption and power consumption. Through the setting of the heating module, taking the water to be heated as an example, when washing dishes, the water usually needs to reach a set temperature. The first heater heats the water, and the temperature detector detects the temperature data of the water heated by the first heater. When the temperature data detected by the temperature detector is much lower than the set temperature, the heater works at full power to rapidly heat the water. When the temperature data detected by the temperature detector is close to the set temperature, the voltage regulation module reduces the input voltage of the heater, thereby reducing the heating power of the heater and causing the temperature of the water to rise slowly. This prevents the temperature of the water from rising too high and maintains a stable temperature, eliminating the need for frequent start-stop relays, preventing energy waste, and improving washing efficiency.

[0024] 4. The dishwasher proposed in this utility model displays water consumption and power consumption. By setting the drying module, high-temperature gas can be used to improve drying efficiency. At the same time, the high temperature can preheat and disinfect the dishes, so that the user can better handle the warm dishes. This improves the functionality of the dishwasher and the user experience. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 This utility model will be described in detail.

[0031] A dishwasher that displays water and power consumption includes a dishwasher body 10 and a water inlet pipe connected to the dishwasher body 10. It also includes a cleaning module with a cleaning mechanism that flows through the water inlet pipe and is used to clean tableware; an anti-scaling module located in the water channel between the water inlet pipe and the cleaning module; a detection module electrically connected to a controller that detects the water and power consumption of the dishwasher body 10 and transmits the data to the controller; a display module 101 electrically connected to the controller; and the controller, based on the water and power consumption data transmitted by the detection module, controls the display module 101 to display the water and power consumption of the dishwasher body 10. Specifically, the controller is a master control MCU (Microcontroller Unit).

[0032] In this embodiment, the detection component includes a water flow detector 201 mounted on the water inlet pipe. The water flow detector 201 is electrically connected to the controller. The water flow detector 201 detects the water flow rate in the water inlet pipe and transmits the detected water flow rate data to the delivery controller. The aforementioned water flow detector 201 is a flow meter. Traditional dishwashers do not have current detection coils or flow meters in their electrical connections, nor are there corresponding flow meters for detection in the dishwasher's water circuit. Figure 1 As shown, a flow meter is installed at the water inlet of the dishwasher, that is, at the rear end of the water inlet valve. Since this location is the main water inlet, the total water inlet volume can be accurately obtained. The communication line of the flow meter is connected to the main board of the dishwasher, and the detected flow data is transmitted to the controller.

[0033] Furthermore, the detection component also includes a current detector 202, located in the circuit between the power supply and the controller. The current detector 202 detects the current of the power supply and transmits the detected current data to the controller. The aforementioned current detector 202 is a current detection coil. A current detection coil is installed between the live wire of the power supply and the controller. Since this location is the main circuit bus position, the total current can be accurately obtained. The communication line of the current detection coil is connected to the controller, and the data detected by the current detection line is transmitted to the controller. After the controller obtains these two sets of data, it can convert them into the total water consumption (in liters) and electricity consumption (in kilowatt-hours) of the dishwasher, and display the data to the user on the display screen, allowing the user to see the data intuitively.

[0034] By adding a flow meter and current detection coil to the dishwasher, the detected data is transmitted to the dishwasher controller and finally displayed on the dishwasher's screen. This allows users to intuitively feel that the dishwasher is more energy-efficient and water-saving, making it easier for users to accept the product.

[0035] In this embodiment, the anti-scaling module includes a breather 401, a water softener 402, and a filter 403 connected sequentially along the water flow direction. A regeneration water path is connected between the breather 401 and the water softener 402. A drain pipe is connected to the filter 403, and a drain pump is installed on the drain pipe. The filter 403 is an inner tank filter 403.

[0036] In this embodiment, the cleaning module includes a washing pump 301 and a nozzle assembly. The inlet of the washing pump 301 is connected to the filter 403, and the outlet of the washing pump 301 is connected to the nozzle assembly.

[0037] In this embodiment, the nozzle assembly includes a first nozzle 302 located at the top of the dishwasher body 10, a second nozzle 303 located at the upper part of the dishwasher body 10, and a third nozzle 304 located at the bottom of the dishwasher body 10.

[0038] In this embodiment, a heating module is also included. The heating module includes a temperature detector 501 and a first heater 502. The first heater 502 is used to heat the cleaning water. The temperature detector 501 is electrically connected to the controller. The temperature detector 501 detects the water temperature and transmits the detected water temperature data to the controller. The controller controls the operating power of the heating device based on the water temperature data. The first heater 502 is a heating element.

[0039] In application, the water temperature range is set to 40–70℃. When the controller obtains a temperature of 25℃, the first heater 502 operates at full power, thereby rapidly heating the cleaning water. When the controller obtains a temperature of 55℃, the controller controls the voltage regulation module to reduce the input voltage of the first heater 502, thereby reducing the heating power of the first heater 502 and allowing the cleaning water to heat up slowly.

[0040] In this embodiment, a drying module is also included. The drying device includes a fan 601 and an air duct. The air duct is connected to the air path of the fan 601, and a second heater 602 is also provided in the air duct. The second heater 602 is a PTC heater. The air inlet of the air duct is connected to the fan 601, and the air outlet of the air duct is a ventilation opening.

[0041] In application, the temperature range is set to 60–80°C. When the temperature data acquired by the controller 107 is 40°C, the second heater 602 operates at full power, thereby rapidly heating the drying airflow. When the temperature data acquired by the controller is 70°C, the controller reduces the input voltage of the second heater 602 to reduce the heating power of the second heater 602, thereby allowing the drying airflow to heat up slowly.

[0042] In this embodiment, a door control switch is also included, which is connected or disconnected as the door of the dishwasher body 10 is opened or closed.

[0043] In this embodiment, a negative ion device is also included, which is disposed in the inner cavity of the dishwasher body 10.

[0044] This utility model provides a dishwasher that displays water consumption and power consumption, and its usage method is as follows:

[0045] Logically, when the user is not using the dishwasher, or when the dishwasher is in standby mode, the flow meter and current detection coil do not detect the dishwasher. When the user wants to start the dishwasher, after the user presses the dishwasher start button, the flow meter and current detection coil start to detect and measure, and display the detected data on the display panel in real time until the dishwasher finishes running, and then calculate and display the amount of water and electricity used.

[0046] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
