Detailed ways

The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and the embodiments of the embodiments are illustrated in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are intended to be illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together, the control method of the embodiment of the present invention can be used to control the dishwasher 100. The dishwasher 100 includes a housing 110, a fan 120, and a humidity detecting unit 140. The housing 110 is provided with a working chamber 111 and a communicating working chamber 111 and an external air duct 112. The humidity detecting unit 140 is for detecting the humidity of the working chamber 111. The fan 120 is used to establish an air flow through the air duct 112 to ventilate the working chamber 111. The control method includes the following steps:

S151: Control the humidity detecting unit 140 to detect the humidity after the washing of the dishwasher 100 is completed; and

S153: Run the second predetermined time according to the humidity control fan 120 after stopping the washing for the first predetermined time after the washing of the dishwasher 100, the humidity is inversely related to the first predetermined time, and the humidity is positively correlated with the second predetermined time.

Referring again to FIG. 2, the dishwasher 100 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 110, a fan 120, a humidity detecting unit 140, and a processor 150. The housing 110 is provided with a working chamber 111 and an air passage 112 that communicates with the working chamber 111 and the outside. The fan 120 is used to establish an air flow through the air duct 112 to ventilate the working chamber 111. The humidity detecting unit 140 is for detecting the humidity of the working chamber 111. The processor 150 is configured to:

Controlling the humidity detecting unit 140 to detect the humidity after the washing of the dishwasher 100 is completed; and

The second predetermined time is operated after the first predetermined time is stopped after the washing of the dishwasher 100 is stopped according to the humidity control fan 120, and the difference is inversely related to the first predetermined time, and the difference is positively correlated with the second predetermined time.

That is, the control method of the embodiment of the present invention can be implemented by the dishwasher 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, wherein steps S151 and S153 can be implemented by the processor 150.

The control method of the dishwasher 100 and the dishwasher 100 of the embodiment of the present invention operate the humidity control fan 120 detected by the humidity detecting unit 140, thereby causing the working chamber 111 to circulate air with the outside, thereby reducing the working chamber 111. Water vapor content.

In some embodiments, due to space limitations of the working chamber 111, such as the working chamber 111 being small, the humidity detecting unit 140 cannot be directly installed in the working chamber 111, and therefore, the humidity detecting unit 140 can be installed in the air duct. In 112, the humidity in the air duct 112 is detected by the humidity detecting unit 140. The working chamber refers to a component in the dishwasher 100 for placing dishes and washing dishes, also referred to as a liner. In some embodiments, the humidity within the air duct 112 can be considered as the humidity of the working chamber 111.

In some embodiments, the humidity detecting unit 140 may be directly disposed in the working chamber 111 to accurately acquire the humidity of the working chamber 111, which is not specifically limited herein.

In some embodiments, the fan 120 may be disposed within the dishwasher 100 or outside the dishwasher 100, which is not specifically limited herein. In one embodiment, the fan 120 is disposed in the air duct 112 such that air can be preferably directed through the air duct 112 into and out of the dishwasher 100.

In some embodiments, the end of washing of the dishwasher 100 means that the dishwasher 100 has finished the washing process. The washing process generally includes several procedures of pre-washing, main washing, rinsing, and drying, and the washing of the dishwasher 100 is generally Means that the drying process has ended. Steps S151 and S153 of the embodiment of the present invention can be regarded as a storage program, and steps S151 and S153 can be performed a plurality of times to keep the drying of the working chamber 111.

In certain embodiments, the humidity detection unit 140 includes a humidity sensor.

In this way, the humidity sensor can be used to quickly obtain humidity.

Specifically, the humidity sensor may refer to a device for measuring the relative humidity of the air. The humidity detecting unit 140 is generally used to measure relative humidity.

It can be understood that when the humidity is relatively small, it is indicated that the water vapor in the dishwasher 100 does not easily condense into water droplets, so that the fan 120 can be controlled to stop for a long time (ie, the first predetermined time is long) and run for a short time (ie, the second The predetermined time is shorter; when the humidity is relatively large, it is indicated that the water vapor in the dishwasher 100 is easily condensed into water droplets, so that the fan 120 can be controlled to stop for a short time (ie, the first predetermined time is short) and run for a long time ( That is, the second predetermined time is longer, thereby removing water vapor in the dishwasher 100, thereby preventing the water vapor from condensing into water droplets.

Referring to FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the control method includes the following steps before the washing of the dishwasher 100 ends:

S154: After the third predetermined time is stopped, the fifth predetermined time is stopped after the fourth predetermined time is stopped.

Referring again to FIG. 2, in some embodiments, processor 150 is configured to:

The fifth predetermined time is stopped after the control fan 120 stops for the third predetermined time and after the fourth predetermined time.

That is, step S154 can be implemented by the processor 150.

In this way, the dishes in the dishwasher 100 can be dried.

Specifically, prior to the end of washing of the dishwasher 100, the dishwasher 100 generally includes a drying procedure by which the water vapor content within the working chamber 111 can be substantially reduced. The drying process of the dishwasher 100 can be realized by controlling the fan 120 to stop after the third predetermined time of operation for a third predetermined time, that is, the drying process of the dishwasher 100 can be controlled after the third time is stopped by the control fan 120. Four scheduled time. It will be appreciated that in order to substantially reduce the water vapor content within the working chamber 111, the third predetermined time may be much less than the fourth predetermined time, and the fan 120 may be controlled multiple times to operate for a third predetermined time and a fourth predetermined time. It should be noted that the air in the working chamber 111 can also be dried by the steps S151 and S153 of the embodiment of the present invention, but generally takes a long time, so that the third predetermined time can be stopped by controlling the fan 120. The fourth predetermined time is then run to dry the air in the working chamber 111 in a relatively short time. In addition, after the working chamber 111 is dried by the fan 120, the water vapor content of the working chamber 100 is low in a short time, so that the fan 120 can be controlled to stop for a fifth predetermined time, such as 60 minutes, thereby reducing the dishwasher 100. Power consumption.

In some embodiments, the third predetermined time is about 5 minutes, the fourth predetermined time is about 40 minutes, and the fifth predetermined time is about 60 minutes.

In this way, the air in the working chamber 111 can be dried.

Specifically, when the fan 120 is controlled to dry the dishwasher 100 in a predetermined manner, generally the fan 120 stops for a shorter third predetermined time, such as about 0-10 minutes, preferably 5 minutes, and then runs longer. The fourth predetermined time, such as 30-60 minutes, may preferably be 40 minutes to sufficiently carry away the water vapor in the working chamber 111, thereby ensuring drying of the working chamber 111. After the fan 120 has dried the working chamber 111, the water vapor content of the working chamber 111 is low, and the fan 120 can be stopped for a fifth predetermined time, such as 50-70 minutes, preferably 60 minutes, at 60. After a minute, the humidity can be detected, and the control method according to an embodiment of the present invention controls the operation of the fan 120 to execute the storage procedure of the dishwasher 100.

Referring to FIG. 4, in some embodiments, step S151 includes the following steps:

S1512: Control the fan 120 to operate for a sixth predetermined time after the washing of the dishwasher 100 and before the first predetermined time;

S1514: The humidity detecting unit 140 is controlled to detect the humidity during the sixth predetermined time.

Referring again to FIG. 2, in some embodiments, processor 150 is configured to:

Controlling the fan 120 to operate for a sixth predetermined time after the washing of the dishwasher 100 and before the first predetermined time;

The humidity detecting unit 140 is controlled to detect the humidity within the sixth predetermined time.

That is to say, steps S1512 and S1514 can be implemented by the processor 150.

In this way, the humidity detected by the humidity detecting unit 140 can be made substantially the same as the humidity of the working chamber.

Specifically, the humidity detecting unit 140 may be disposed in the air duct 112. When the humidity detecting unit 140 is in operation, the fan 120 may be controlled to operate, so that the fan 120 drives the air in the working chamber 111 to flow, and thus the air in the air duct 112 may be The humidity in the working chamber 111, that is, the humidity detected by the humidity detecting unit 140 can be regarded as the humidity of the working chamber 111.

It can be understood that the sixth predetermined time is between the end of washing of the dishwasher 100 and the first predetermined time. In some embodiments, the sixth predetermined time may refer to the last time of the fifth predetermined time, such as the fifth predetermined time. The last 20 seconds. In one embodiment, at the end of the washing sequence, the sixth predetermined time may refer to the last period of the fifth predetermined time, such as 20 seconds. In another embodiment, when the steps S151 and S153 are cyclically executed and the last first predetermined time and the second predetermined time have just ended, the sixth predetermined time may refer to the last time period of the last second predetermined time, such as 20 second.

Referring to FIG. 5, in some embodiments, step S151 includes the following steps:

S1516: controlling the humidity detecting unit 140 to perform multiple times to obtain a plurality of initial humidity; and

S1518: Processing a plurality of initial humidity to obtain humidity, and the humidity is an intermediate value or an average value of the plurality of initial humidityes.

Referring again to FIG. 2, in some embodiments, processor 150 is configured to:

Controlling the humidity detecting unit 140 to perform multiple times to obtain a plurality of initial humidity; and

A plurality of initial humidityes are obtained to obtain humidity, and the humidity is an intermediate value or an average value of a plurality of initial humidityes.

That is to say, steps S1516, S1518 can be implemented by the processor 151.

In this way, the accuracy of the humidity can be ensured.

It can be understood that the humidity detecting unit 140 can detect to obtain an initial humidity, and the plurality of initial humidity can be obtained by the humidity detecting unit 140 for multiple times, and the humidity can be obtained by processing a plurality of initial humidity. Specifically, the method of processing the plurality of initial humidity to obtain the humidity includes taking the average of the plurality of initial humidity as the humidity, or taking the median of the plurality of initial humidity as the humidity, and the like, which is not specifically limited herein.

In addition, the plurality of initial humidity may be obtained at an initial humidity at intervals, such as obtaining an initial humidity every 5 seconds within 20 seconds.

Referring to FIG. 6, in some embodiments, the number of fans 120 is multiple, and the plurality of fans 120 are used to cooperate to establish an airflow through the air duct 112 to vent the working chamber 111.

In this way, the dehumidification effect of the dishwasher 100 can be achieved to a large extent.

It can be understood that, in order to enhance the dehumidification capability of the working chamber 111, the number of the fans 120 may be plural, that is, the dishwasher 100 includes a plurality of fans 120, so that the plurality of fans 120 can be simultaneously operated to enhance the working chamber 111. The air circulates to carry water vapor from the air out of the dishwasher 100.

It should be noted that a plurality of fans 120 may be disposed inside or outside the dishwasher 100. For example, a fan 120 is disposed outside the dishwasher 100 for drawing air in the working chamber 111, and a fan 120 is disposed at the washing machine. The interior of the bowl 100 is used to direct air into the air duct 112 to cooperate to accelerate air circulation within the working chamber 111.

In some embodiments, when the humidity is 50% or less, the first predetermined time is about 170 minutes, and the second predetermined time is about 10 minutes; when the humidity is greater than 50% and less than or equal to 60%, the first predetermined time is About 140 minutes, the second predetermined time is about 10 minutes; when the humidity is greater than 60% and less than or equal to 70%, the first predetermined time is about 110 minutes, the second predetermined time is about 10 minutes; and the humidity is greater than 70% and less than When it is equal to 80%, the first predetermined time is about 80 minutes, the second predetermined time is about 10 minutes; when the humidity is greater than 80% and less than or equal to 85%, the first predetermined time is about 40 minutes, and the second predetermined time is 20 minutes. About a minute; and when the humidity is greater than 85%, the first predetermined time is about 10 minutes, and the second predetermined time is about 20 minutes.

As such, the fan 120 can be operated in accordance with the humidity.

Specifically, when the humidity is less than or equal to 50%, the humidity is small, and the water vapor in the dishwasher 100 does not substantially condense into water droplets, so that the fan 120 can be controlled to stop for about 10 minutes and then run for about 10 minutes; When the ratio is less than or equal to 60%, the humidity is small, so that the fan 120 can be controlled to stop for about 40 minutes and then run for about 10 minutes; when the humidity is greater than 60% and less than or equal to 70%, the humidity is slightly larger, so the fan 120 can be controlled. After about 110 minutes, the operation is about 10 minutes. When the humidity is greater than 70% and less than or equal to 80%, the humidity is large. Therefore, the fan 120 can be controlled to stop for about 80 minutes and then run for about 10 minutes. When the humidity is greater than 80% and less than or equal to At 85%, the humidity is very large, and the water vapor in the dishwasher 100 is easily condensed into water droplets. Therefore, the fan 120 can be controlled to stop for about 40 minutes and then run for about 20 minutes; when the humidity is greater than 85%, the humidity is extremely large. The water vapor in the dishwasher 100 has substantially condensed into water droplets, so that the fan 120 can be controlled to stop for about 10 minutes and then run for about 20 minutes.
