As shown in fig. 1, the heat exchanging unit 14 is disposed in the energy storage device 7 and exchanges heat with the energy storage medium 13, in this embodiment, a liquid energy storage medium is used, and the heat exchanging unit 14 is immersed in the energy storage medium 13 and exchanges heat with the energy storage medium 13 by contacting with each other.
A water inlet 19 is formed in the heat exchange unit 14, the water inlet 19 is communicated with the drainage pipeline 16 through a first pipeline 17, and a heat exchange unit control valve 18 for controlling the on-off of the pipeline is arranged on the first pipeline 17; the heat exchange unit 14 is communicated with the processing chamber 15; meanwhile, the other end of the heat exchange unit 14 is provided with a water outlet 20, and the water outlet 20 is communicated with the treatment chamber 15 through a second pipeline 21 to guide the washing water in the heat exchange unit 14 into the treatment chamber 15.
The heat exchange unit 14 in this embodiment is a U-shaped heat exchange tube, one side of the heat exchange tube is a water inlet 19 of the heat exchange unit 14, and the other side of the heat exchange tube is a water outlet 20, and the whole U-shaped tube is immersed in the energy storage medium 13 of the energy storage device 7. In order to control the driving of the flow of the washing water in the heat exchange unit 14, a drain valve 22 for controlling the opening and closing of the drain line 16 is provided on the drain line 16, and the drain valve 22 is provided on the drain line 16 downstream of the heat exchange unit control valve 18 in the flow direction of the washing water.

In this example, the medium for heat transfer is not the washing water in example 1, but is replaced by an energy storage medium. Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, in this embodiment, the heat exchange unit 14 is communicated with the energy storage device 7, the energy storage device 7 has a liquid inlet 23 and a liquid outlet 24, which are communicated with the heat exchange unit 14, the heat exchange unit 14 guides the energy storage medium 13 into the heat exchange unit 14 through the liquid outlet 23, and returns the energy storage medium 13 to the energy storage device 7 through the liquid inlet 23.

The heat exchange unit 14 of the present embodiment is located in the processing chamber 15, and can sufficiently absorb the residual heat after the hot water washing in the processing chamber 15. After entering the heat exchange unit 14 through the energy storage medium, the heat in the processing chamber 15 is carried to the energy storage device 7 through sufficient heat exchange between the heat exchange unit 14 and the surrounding hot air in the processing chamber 15. When the next heat pump heats the system, the evaporator 6 absorbs the heat of the energy storage medium 13 again, and the heat pump heating process is completed.
In other embodiments, the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet may not be connected by a pipeline, but the energy storage device and the heat exchange device are arranged closely, and the energy storage medium is controlled to flow between the heat exchange unit and the energy storage device by on-off of a valve and a circulating pump.
Example 3
The present embodiment is an explanation of a method of controlling the heat pump dishwasher of the above embodiment. The dish washing machine controlled by the method performs at least one hot water washing process, and after the dish washing machine performs the hot water washing process, the heat exchange unit is controlled to transfer the heat in the treatment chamber to the energy storage device
In this embodiment, the dishwasher performs a hot water washing process, a cold water rinsing process, and a final hot water rinsing process. Through the first washing operation, the water temperature in the energy storage device is reduced, and in order to improve the heat pump efficiency during the last hot water rinsing, before the second cold water rinsing, the heat exchange unit is adopted to circulate the energy storage medium into the treatment chamber for heating and regeneration, or the washing hot water is circulated to the energy storage device for heating and regeneration of the energy storage medium.
By adopting the method, the temperature of the energy storage medium can be increased, the stored heat energy can be regenerated, and the efficiency of the heat pump system can be improved when the evaporator absorbs the heat of the energy storage medium for the second time to heat water
Specifically, the method of this embodiment enables the heat exchange unit to communicate with the treatment chamber by control, introduces the washing water in the treatment chamber into the heat exchange unit to exchange heat with the energy storage device, introduces the heat in the treatment chamber into the energy storage medium, and the evaporator contacts with the energy storage medium to absorb the heat of the energy storage device.

Example 4
The present embodiment is different from embodiment 3 in that the method for controlling a heat pump dishwasher of the present embodiment controls the heat exchange unit to communicate with the energy storage device, and introduces the energy storage medium into the heat exchange unit to exchange heat with the processing chamber.
In this embodiment, the heat exchange unit is controlled to be communicated with the energy storage device, the heat exchange unit exchanges heat with the processing chamber, and heat in the processing chamber is transferred to the energy storage device by driving the energy storage medium in the energy storage device to flow in the heat exchange unit. The evaporator is in contact with an energy storage medium to absorb heat of the energy storage device. And the flowing energy storage medium is utilized to realize the collection and utilization of the waste heat in the treatment chamber.
Example 5
The present embodiment is a supplement to the control method of the above embodiment, and in the present embodiment, the heat pump type dishwasher starts heating washing, and automatically selects to use the heat pump system and/or the electric heater to heat the washing water path.
In order to realize the technical scheme of the automatic selection heating system of the heat pump type dishwasher with automatic control, the heat pump type dishwasher comprises a temperature detection device for detecting the ambient temperature. And the heat pump type dish washing machine automatically selects and uses the heat pump system and/or the electric heater to heat the washing water channel according to the comparison result of the ambient temperature detected by the temperature detection device and the temperature of the energy storage medium in the energy storage device.
Specifically, it can be seen from the above examples that the freezing point temperature of the energy storage medium in the present invention is lower than the freezing point temperature of the washing water. When the ambient temperature is higher than the freezing point temperature of the washing water, the energy storage medium and the washing water are both in liquid state, the heat pump can work normally, the evaporator absorbs heat from the energy storage medium in the energy storage device, and the condenser heats the washing water. The heat pump heating mode has high heat exchange efficiency and is a heating scheme which is preferentially used, so that the control device of the dishwasher automatically adopts the heat pump system to heat the washing water at the moment.
Of course, in order to accelerate the temperature rise of the washing water, the electric heater can be simultaneously turned on at the same time, so that the heat pump system and the electric heater simultaneously heat the washing water channel, and the temperature of the washing water is rapidly raised.
In this embodiment, when the ambient temperature is higher than the freezing point temperature of the energy storage medium and lower than the freezing point temperature of the washing water, the ambient temperature is already low, and the heat pump can work at this time, but the work efficiency is significantly reduced, and the washing water is likely to be solidified at any time, so the washing water is scrambled by controlling the method of heating the washing water waterway by using the heat pump system and the electric heater at the same time, or the washing water waterway is heated by simply using the electric heater.
Further, when the ambient temperature further drops and is lower than the freezing point temperature of the energy storage medium, the heat pump system cannot normally work due to the fact that the energy storage medium and the washing water are solidified, and the dishwasher adopts a method for controlling the washing water waterway to be heated by only using the electric heater to meet the requirement of heating the washing water of the dishwasher.
The dishwasher in the embodiment automatically selects different washing water heating modes according to the change of the ambient temperature, so as to improve the heating efficiency of the dishwasher.
Example 6
The present embodiment is different from embodiment 5 in that the different heating modes in the present embodiment are realized according to control instructions.
