the control unit presets turbidity value ranges of the N washing waters and sets the number of turn-on indicators corresponding to each turbidity value range of the washing water, so that the indicators have N number of turn-on indicators;
the turbidity sensor detects the turbidity value B of the water to be washed and transmits the detection result to the control unit;
the control unit judges the turbidity value range in which the turbidity value B is positioned and executes the number of the turn-on indicator lamps corresponding to the turbidity value range.
Specifically, the explanation is made with 3 on number levels including 0, 1, and 2.
As shown in fig. 4, a control method of a dishwasher includes the steps of:
the control unit of the S1 dishwasher presets turbidity value ranges of 3 washing water, namely B1-B2, B2-B3 and B3-B4, wherein the turbidity value ranges of the B1, the B2, the B3 and the B4 meet the condition that B1 is larger than B2 and smaller than B3 and smaller than B4, indicator lamps corresponding to B1-B2 are turned on for 0, indicator lamps corresponding to B2-B3 are turned on for 1, and indicator lamps corresponding to B3-B4 are turned on for 2;
s2 the dishwasher is started, the turbidity sensor detects the turbidity value B of the washing water and transmits the detection result to the control unit, in the process, the number of the indicator lights started is increased from 0, 1 and 2 in turn, and then decreased from 2, 1 and 0 in turn, and the process is circulated in turn;
the control unit of S3 judges the turbidity value range of turbidity value B of washing water once every t time interval, controls the indicator light to change alternately between 0, 1 and 2 in the judging process,
if in B1-B2, the control indicator light turns on 0,
if in B2-B3, the control indicator lamp turns on 1,
if in B3-B4, the control indicator light turns on 2.
The indicating device 103 may be formed by a plurality of layers of ring-shaped light sets, the number of the indicating lights on the inner layer is small, the number of the indicating lights on the outer layer is large, and each layer of indicating lights displays the same color and/or brightness.
In the process, at the initial stage of washing, when water enters, the quantity of the lighted indicating lamps in the lamp strip is small due to clear water quality; along with the increase of the washing time, the stains on the washed objects fall into water after being washed, so that the more the water is washed, the more dirty the water is, the indicator lamps in the lamp strip gradually increase according to specific turbidity values, and the number of the indicator lamps is increased; in the rinsing process, the washings are more and more clean, the light strip is gradually reduced along with the reduction of turbidity data, and the number of the indicator lights is reduced. In the washing process, the number of the lamps is changed and displayed to the user in real time, so that the user can know the washing condition of the washing machine at a glance.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
