AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Users face inconvenience in changing the dishwasher's washing course to a low noise-level mode during operation, requiring manual intervention to stop and restart the cycle, which disrupts ongoing activities and is not done in real-time.

Method used

A dishwasher equipped with an input unit for receiving course change signals, storage for data on low noise-level cycle parameters, and a controller that adjusts the washing motor's rotation speed and other parameters in real-time to switch between standard and low noise-level modes, allowing for voice or remote control operation.

Benefits of technology

Enables immediate and real-time switching to a low noise-level mode, reducing operational noise without affecting washing performance, and allows for convenient noise level adjustment through smartphone apps, improving user experience by minimizing disruption and power consumption.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a dishwasher, which allows a washing course to be changed to a low-noise course in real time with a simple operation by using a user terminal while the dishwasher is running, and to a method for controlling a washing course of the dishwasher. The dishwasher, according to embodiments of the present invention, may comprise: an input unit that receives a course change signal commanding to change to a low-noise course having a noise level lower than a noise level of a washing course; a storage unit storing, as data, the speed of a washing motor of the low-noise course corresponding to each washing stage of the washing course; and a control unit that, when the course change signal is input, recognizes the washing stage of the washing course, changes to the speed of the washing motor of the low-noise course corresponding to the recognized washing stage, and controls the washing stage of the low-noise course.
