A kind of control method and its washing machine of the washing machine with water quality sensor
Technical field
The present invention relates to washing machine field, the control method of especially a kind of washing machine with water quality sensor and its wash
Clothing machine.
Background technology
With the continuous increase of washing machine user group, the function of washing machine also constantly enhances, in order to realize the optimal of clothing
The utilization rate of washings is cleaned and preferably nurses, improves, many washing machines both increase water quality sensing for various purposes on the market
Device, such as turbidity transducer, hardness transducer, acidity-basicity sensor, with the turbidity, hardness or acid-base value of automatic decision water,
It the functions such as cleaned, rinsed according to sensing data to judge, adjust automatically wash time or rinsing times etc..
The water quality sensor of washing machine is generally all loaded at outer barrel of washing machine bottom or scupper hose at present, all without from clearly
Clean function using meeting residual soil in water quality sensor surface after a period of time, makes the sensitivity and accuracy of water quality sensor
It is rapid to decline, so as to influence the judgement of program, and wash time and rinsing times is made not to adjust accurately, cause clothes washing
Unnet or overwass damaging laundry, causes water power to waste.
Such as the Chinese patent of Application No. CN03150339.X, merely illustrate turbidity transducer turbidity judgement and
Temperature detecting function can not ensure the sensitivity and accuracy of sensor for a long time.
In view of this it is special to propose the present invention.
The content of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is to have overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a kind of with water quality sensor
Washing machine control method and its washing machine.
It is of the invention to be using the basic conception of technical solution:A kind of control method of the washing machine with water quality sensor,
Before washing machine injected clear water does not wash and/or in last time rinse cycle, not yet before draining, control cleaning apparatus for self cleaning
Water quality sensor.After described water quality sensor cleaning, before washing machine injected clear water does not wash, the data setting that will monitor
For clear water calibration value.
Further, before washing machine injected clear water does not wash, injected clear water to water level did not had water quality sensor body, water quality
Cleaning apparatus for self on sensor is started to work;After time T1, the cleaning apparatus for self on water quality sensor is stopped, control
The data setting detected at this time is the clear water calibration value of system default by unit.
Further, when washing machine last time rinses, during away from interval between discharges T2, the automatically cleaning on water quality sensor
Device continues or discontinuous operation terminates to time T2, and washing machine starts draining.
Further, a kind of control method of the washing machine with water quality sensor, includes the following steps:
11) after washing machine powers on start, do not had a water quality sensor body into clear water to water level, on water quality sensor from clear
Clean device is started to work, and water quality sensor is cleaned.
12) after time T1, the cleaning apparatus for self on water quality sensor is stopped, and control unit water quality will sense at this time
The water quality data that device detects is set as the clear water calibration value of system default.
13) start to perform washing flow, herein mistake into the water containing washing powder or detergent to working water level in washing machine
Cheng Zhong, all kinds of parameters for being detected water quality sensor by control unit, clear water calibration value, system default parameter etc. is divided
Analysis judges, to generate the control program such as the wash time of washing machine, rinsing times.
14) in washing machine performs last time rinse cycle, when away from interval between discharges being T2, on water quality sensor
Cleaning apparatus for self is started to work, and water quality sensor is cleaned.
15) terminate to last time rinse cycle, the cleaning apparatus for self on water quality sensor is stopped, and washing machine starts
Draining, the dirt that water quality sensor is cleaned discharge washing machine with drainage procedure.
Further, the cleaning apparatus for self generates ultrasonic wave by vibrating, using ultrasonic wave to water quality sensor body
And other component surfaces dirt carry out high-frequency vibration, make dirt come off after with drainage procedure discharge washing machine.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a kind of washing machine with water quality sensor.Using the basic of technical solution
