Detailed Description
The following detailed description of embodiments of the invention refers to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method of controlling a water inflow of a dishwasher according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method comprises the following steps: step S110, controlling a water inlet valve to feed water into a dishwasher for first preset time, and recording a first water inflow entering the dishwasher within the first water inlet time; step S120, determining the water inflow according to the first water inflow and the first preset time; and S130, controlling water inlet time according to the deviation degree between the water inlet flow and the theoretical flow of the water inlet valve and a water inlet threshold value.
The water inlet valve is a device which is arranged on the water inlet pipeline of the dish washer and is used for controlling water inlet. The water inlet valve is determined by the self attribute of the water inlet valve, and each water inlet valve is provided with a designed theoretical water inlet flow parameter (or theoretical flow gear parameter). According to the invention, the water inlet time is determined based on the deviation degree between the water inlet flow during actual water inlet and the theoretical water inlet flow, and the deviation between the theoretical water inlet flow and the water inlet flow during actual water inlet is compensated, so that the accuracy of water inlet control can be ensured, the cleaning capability of the dish washing machine is improved, and excessive water waste can be avoided.
The degree of deviation between the theoretical inlet flow and the actual inlet flow can be calculated according to the following formula: and alpha is M/L, wherein alpha is the deviation degree, M is the water inlet flow rate during actual water inlet, and L is the theoretical flow rate of the water inlet valve.
FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a method of controlling a water intake of a dishwasher according to another embodiment of the present invention;
as shown in fig. 2, before the controlling of the water inflow into the dishwasher for the first predetermined time, the method may include the step S210 of: controlling the dishwasher to drain for a predetermined time. Therefore, a certain water inlet space is reserved for determining the current actual water inlet flow.
The method may further preferably comprise step S240: controlling a second water intake time of water into the dishwasher, the second water intake time being determined according to the following formula:
wherein T2 is the second water inlet time, Y is the difference between the water inlet threshold and the current amount of water in the dishwasher, X is the first water inlet, T1 is the first water inlet time, β is an adjustment coefficient, 0< β <1 when the deviation degree is greater than 1, β is 1 when the deviation degree is equal to 1, and β >1 when the deviation degree is less than 1. Therefore, the second water inlet time is adjusted according to different deviation degrees, and the adjustment coefficient beta can be determined according to multiple test results.
Referring to fig. 2, the method may further include steps S250-S260: step S250, judging whether the deviation degree is not equal to 1; step S260, if the deviation degree is not equal to 1, controlling a third water inlet time after controlling the second water inlet time for feeding water into the dishwasher, wherein the third water inlet time is determined according to the following formula:
wherein T3 is the third water inlet time, and X2 is the second water inlet quantity entering the dishwasher in the second water inlet time.
When the deviation degree is not equal to 1, the deviation exists between the actual water inlet flow and the theoretical water inlet flow of the water inlet valve, at the moment, although the water inlet time is adjusted by using the adjusting coefficient, in order to further avoid inaccurate water inlet caused by the fact that the adjusting coefficient is not accurate enough, the water inlet amount is finely adjusted by controlling the third water inlet time of water inlet. The third water inflow time is determined on the basis of the amount of water having entered the dishwasher during the first and second water inflow times and the second water inflow time, thereby enabling to further compensate for the water inflow control accuracy.
Through the embodiment of the invention, the water inlet control precision is improved, so that the situation that the fine cleaning agent is diluted due to excessive water inlet can be avoided, and the situation that the rinsing is not thorough due to insufficient water inlet can be avoided. The method for controlling the water inflow of the dishwasher can be independently applied to washing stages, rinsing stages and other washing stages of the dishwasher, can also be applied to the whole cleaning process, and can be specifically selected according to design requirements.
