In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

Example 1

As shown in fig. 1 to 10, an embodiment of the present invention provides a dishwasher, including: the electrolytic bath comprises a body, a water tank 4, an inner container 1 and an electrolytic component 5. The body is internally provided with an inner container 1, the water tank 4 is arranged on one side of the inner container 1 and used for storing electrolyte and electrolyzing the electrolyte to obtain disinfectant, and the electrolysis component 5 is arranged in the water tank 4 and used for electrolyzing the electrolyte. The water inlet of the water tank 4 is communicated with the water source through a first communication pipeline; the first water inlet of the inner container 1 is communicated with the water source through a second communication pipeline; and a second water inlet of the inner container 1 is communicated with a water outlet of the water tank 4 through a third communication pipeline.

The water source may be provided by an external source of water (e.g., tap water) or by a storage tank in the dishwasher.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electrolyte may be a sodium chloride solution or other electrolyte capable of generating hypochlorite ions by electrolysis. The electrolysis assembly 5 is provided with at least one pair of electrolysis sheets which are respectively connected with the positive electrode and the negative electrode of a power supply and can electrolyze the sodium chloride solution in the water tank 4 under the electrified state so as to generate the required disinfectant with hypochlorite. The electrolytic sheet is made of a titanium material with extremely inertia and corrosion resistance, and then a thin coating layer made of ruthenium and iridium materials with more inertia and corrosion resistance is covered on the outer layer of the titanium electrolytic sheet, so that the problem of corrosion failure caused by the use of other metal materials (such as stainless steel, copper and the like) in the electrolytic sheet can be effectively reduced or even avoided. Further, the water tank 4 may be provided with a salt adding assembly 10. The salting assembly 10 is used to store a desired solute, i.e., sodium chloride, in the water tank 4.

So set up, at dishwasher during operation, can communicate the first water inlet and the water source of inner bag 1 through second intercommunication pipeline to accomplish the washing to material in dishwasher inner bag and/or the inner bag in the inner bag that can add water the dishwasher. And, because the water inlet of water tank 4 and water source pass through first intercommunication pipeline intercommunication, when first intercommunication pipeline switches on, can add water in water tank 4, the solute (for example sodium chloride) in the water tank 4 can be dissolved to the water of adding obtains electrolyte (for example sodium chloride solution) to can utilize electrolysis subassembly 5 in the water tank 4 to electrolyze electrolyte, obtain the antiseptic solution. After the disinfectant with hypochlorite is generated, the third communicating pipeline can be communicated, so that the disinfectant enters the inner container 1 through the water outlet of the water tank 4, then the washing pump 13 of the dish washing machine can convey the disinfectant to a washing device, for example, a washing spray arm sprays the disinfectant from the spray arm, and then tableware, food or articles to be washed in the inner container and/or the inner container are disinfected, and the problem that the existing dish washing machine does not have a disinfection function or has a poor disinfection function is solved.

As a modified embodiment, the dishwasher further includes a concentration detecting means provided in the water tank 4. For example, the concentration detection device may be a solution current detection device, and two electrodes may be provided in the electrolytic module 5 as the solution current detection device. Of course, other means for concentration detection, such as a float, may be used.

When the concentration detecting means is provided in the water tank 4, it is possible to determine whether or not there is a solute, such as sodium chloride, in the water tank 4 by the data detected by the solution concentration detecting means. For example, when the concentration detection device is a solution current detection device, when the solution current is less than a preset threshold, it may be considered that the solute is absent in the solution.

As a modified embodiment, the dishwasher further comprises a first flow detection device 3 disposed in the water tank 4, for example, a flow meter is disposed at the water inlet of the water tank 4 and at a position near the water inlet connected thereto, for measuring the amount of water required for electrolysis entering the water tank 4.

Generally, a second flow detecting device 6 is further provided in the respirator 2, and the amount of water flowing through the first and second communication lines can be detected by the second flow detecting device 6.

Specifically, when the breather 2 has a through hole directly flowing into the inner container 1, and the first communication pipeline is conducted, the water in the breather 2 does not flow into the water tank 4 completely, so that the amount of water added into the water tank 4 is detected by the first flow detection device 3 in the water tank 4. When the respirator 2 has no through hole which directly flows into the inner container 1, when the first communication pipeline is conducted, the water in the respirator 2 can completely flow into the water tank 4, so that the water amount added into the water tank 4 can be detected by the second flow detection device 6 in the respirator 2, and the first flow detection device 3 can not be arranged in the water tank 4.

Example 2

Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a control method of a dishwasher, which is applied to the dishwasher. The dishwasher comprises a water tank 4 and an inner container 1, wherein a water inlet of the water tank 4 is communicated with a water source through a first communication pipeline, a first water inlet of the inner container 1 is communicated with the water source through a second communication pipeline, and a second water inlet of the inner container 1 is communicated with a water outlet of the water tank 4 through a third communication pipeline; an electrolytic assembly 5 is also provided in the water tank 4. Fig. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of a dishwasher in accordance with embodiment 2 of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 11, the control method of the dishwasher in accordance with embodiment 2 of the present invention includes the steps of:

s201: and the first communication pipeline is communicated to feed water into the water tank 4, and whether the solution in the water tank 4 meets a preset first condition is judged.

In the present embodiment, the first condition may be understood as the condition that the solution in the water tank 4 satisfies electrolysis. The first condition includes one or both of: the concentration of the solution in the water tank 4 reaches a preset first concentration threshold value, and the water amount in the water tank 4 reaches a preset first water amount threshold value. Whether there is solute in the water tank 4 can be determined by judging the concentration of the solution in the water tank 4, and also whether there is sufficient solute in the water tank 4 can be determined by judging the concentration of the solution in the water tank 4 if there is less solute in the water tank 4 and the concentration of the solution is lower. Whether the amount of the solution in the water tank 4 is sufficient can be judged by judging the amount of the water in the water tank 4. The solute in the water tank 4 may be sodium chloride, for example.

As a first specific embodiment, the following technical solution may be adopted to determine whether the solution in the water tank 4 meets a preset first condition: acquiring the water quantity in the water tank 4; when the water amount in the water tank 4 reaches the first water amount threshold value, acquiring the parameter for representing the concentration of the solution; when the parameter for representing the concentration of the solution reaches the first concentration threshold value, the solution in the water tank 4 is judged to meet the first condition.

As a second specific embodiment, the following technical solution may be further adopted to determine whether the solution in the water tank 4 meets the preset first condition: acquiring the water quantity in the water tank 4; when the water amount in the water tank 4 reaches a preset second water amount threshold value, acquiring a parameter for representing the concentration of the solution, wherein the second water amount threshold value is smaller than the first water amount threshold value; when the parameter for representing the solution concentration reaches a preset first concentration threshold value, continuously adding water into the water tank 4; when the amount of water in the water tank 4 reaches a preset first water amount threshold value, it is determined that the solution in the water tank 4 meets the first condition.

When the second embodiment is adopted, when the amount of water added is small (i.e. the second water amount threshold), the parameter representing the solution concentration can be used to judge whether there is solute in the water outlet tank 4 or whether there is sufficient solute in the water tank 4, and if there is no solute in the water tank 4 or there is insufficient solute in the water tank 4, only the small amount of water added can be drained, so that not only the amount of water can be saved, but also whether there is solute in the water outlet tank 4 or whether there is sufficient solute in the water tank 4 can be quickly judged. When the first embodiment is adopted, since the concentration of the solution in the water tank 4 is detected after the water is added to the first water amount threshold value, the detection result of the concentration of the solution in the water tank 4 is more accurate than that of the second embodiment since the first water amount threshold value is the total amount of water required in the water tank 4 and no water is added thereafter.

In both embodiments, the amount of water in the water tank 4 is taken. Specifically, a first flow rate detection device 3 may be provided in the water tank 4, and the amount of water in the water tank 4 is acquired by the first flow rate detection device 3.

Considering that the existing dish washing machine is provided with the breather 2, specifically, the breather 2 is arranged between the water source and the water tank 4, and/or the breather 2 is arranged between the water source and the inner container 1, that is, the breather is arranged on the first communicating pipeline and/or the second communicating pipeline. The breather 2 may or may not be provided with a through hole for allowing a small amount of water in the breather 2 to directly flow into the inner container 1. When the breather 2 is not provided with the through hole, a second flow detection device 6 can be arranged in the breather 2, and when the first communication pipeline is conducted, the water quantity in the breather 2 is the same as that in the water tank 4; when the second communication pipeline is conducted, the water quantity in the respirator 2 is the same as that in the liner 1. Therefore, the amount of water in the water tank 4 can be detected by the second flow rate detecting device 6, and the amount of water in the liner 1 can also be detected by the second flow rate detecting device 6, so that the first flow rate detecting device 3 does not need to be arranged in the water tank 4, and the cost is saved.

In the two embodiments, when the parameter for characterizing the concentration of the solution is the current of the solution, the obtaining the parameter for characterizing the concentration of the solution includes: the current of the solution is obtained by means of the motor of the electrolytic assembly 5. It is needless to say that the concentration detection may be performed by other means, for example, by providing a float in the tank 4 and performing the concentration detection by the float.

As a further embodiment of the first and second embodiments, when the parameter for characterizing the concentration of the solution does not reach the first concentration threshold, the water in the water tank 4 is drained out of the dishwasher and a first prompt message is issued that salt needs to be added to the water tank 4. Specifically, a third communication pipeline between a water outlet of the water tank 4 and a second water inlet of the liner 1 can be communicated to discharge water in the water tank 4 into the liner 1; the water in the inner tub 1 is then drained out of the dishwasher by means of the drain pump 16 in the inner tub 1.

As another further implementation manner of the first specific embodiment and the second specific embodiment, when the parameter for representing the solution concentration does not reach the first concentration threshold, the third communication pipeline may be further conducted to discharge the water in the water tank 4 into the inner container 1, and the second communication pipeline may be conducted to replenish the water to the inner container 1; and monitoring the water supplementing amount of the inner container 1 through the second communicating pipeline, and starting a preset washing degree when the water supplementing amount reaches a preset third water amount threshold value. Therefore, when the solution in the water tank 4 does not meet the electrolysis condition, the water in the water tank 4 can be used for washing, and the waste of resources is reduced. It can be understood that the total amount of water discharged to the inner container 1 through the third and second communication pipes is the total amount of water required for the preset washing course.

S202: and when the solution meets the first condition, cutting off the first communicating pipeline, communicating the second communicating pipeline to feed water into the inner container 1, and washing the substances in the inner container 1.

That is, when the solution in the water tank 4 satisfies the electrolysis condition, water is not added into the water tank 4, and water needs to be added into the inner container 1 to wash the substances in the inner container 1.

At present, the washing of the substances in the inner container 1 (which can be called as main washing) is generally carried out by hot water washing, and the temperature of the inner cavity is 45-70 ℃ after the washing is finished. However, it is found that the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis module 5 is low above 40 ℃, and sodium hypochlorite is easily decomposed to generate oxygen, sodium chloride, sodium chlorate and other substances at high temperature, so that the disinfection function is disabled. At the end of the main wash phase, the dishwasher therefore needs to be cooled down. It should be noted that, the cold bleaching treatment is performed after the main washing, which not only can reduce the temperature of the inner container 1, but also can make the washing of the substance cleaner. For example, if a detergent is added in the main wash, the detergent can be rinsed off by cold rinsing. Thus washing the material comprises: the method comprises the steps of performing main washing on the substances, and performing cold bleaching on the substances after the main washing on the substances is finished.

Specifically, as a first embodiment, the cold bleaching of the substance may be controlled by using the number of times of rinsing, that is, the substance may be subjected to cold bleaching for a predetermined number of times, for example, 1 to 3 times, and the specific number of times may be determined according to the water temperature during main washing, the temperature of the inner tub 1 after main washing, the water temperature during rinsing, the water inflow during rinsing, and the like.

As a second embodiment, the cold bleaching of the substance can be controlled by the temperature after rinsing, i.e. the substance is cold bleached (here, it can be a single cold bleaching or multiple cold bleaching), and after the cold bleaching of the substance is finished, the temperature of the inner container 1/the electrolytic assembly 5 is obtained; when the temperature is lower than a preset first temperature threshold value, stopping cold bleaching; and when the temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold value, continuing cold bleaching. In the example, the temperature sensor detects the temperature value of the inner container 1 before the cold bleaching stage is finished, if the temperature of the inner container 1 is lower than 40 ℃, the electrolytic component 5 starts to prepare the disinfectant, if the cold bleaching stage is finished and the temperature of the inner container 1 is higher than 40 ℃, the cold bleaching is added once again, and after the temperature of the inner container 1 is detected to be lower than 40 ℃, the electrolytic device starts to prepare the sodium hypochlorite disinfectant.

S203: after the washing of the substances in the inner container 1 is finished, the electrolysis assembly 5 is started to electrolyze the solution in the water tank 4 to generate a disinfection solution.

That is, after the washing of the substance in the inner container 1 is finished, the solution in the water tank 4 is electrolyzed. As a specific embodiment, the electrodes in the electrolysis module 5 may be electrified to complete the electrolysis of the solution, and the electrolysis is stopped when the electrolysis time reaches a set time. For example, a direct current voltage of 12V to 24V may be applied to the electrode sheet, and then the electrode sheet is electrolyzed in the water tank 4 for 10min to 40min (the electrolysis time is different according to the difference between the salt adding amount and the current density), so as to finally generate the disinfectant with the required effective chlorine concentration. The disinfection by using the electrolyzed water is to utilize hypochlorite, hypochlorous acid or other substances with strong oxidizing property generated by the electrolysis of the sodium chloride solution to carry out strong killing on bacteria and viruses.

In embodiment 2 of the present invention, the operation principle of dishwasher electrolysis is as follows:

cathode 2Cl^--2e＝Cl₂

Anode 2H₂O+2e^-＝H₂+2OH^-

And (3) total reaction: 2Cl- +2H₂O＝H₂+Cl₂+2OH^-

A disproportionation reaction will occur between chlorine and water: cl₂+H₂The generated HClO has certain oxidability, thereby realizing the killing effect on bacteria and viruses.

It should be noted that the disinfecting solution generated by electrolysis in the water tank 4 may be a disinfecting solution directly electrolyzed to generate a required effective chlorine concentration, or may be a disinfecting solution firstly generated with a high concentration, and then a certain proportion of water is introduced to dilute the disinfecting solution to generate a required effective chlorine concentration. Generally, in order to achieve better sterilization and disinfection effects, the concentration of available chlorine in the produced disinfection solution is generally 200mg/L-300 mg/L.

S204: after the electrolysis in the water tank 4 is completed, the third communication pipeline is conducted to discharge the disinfectant into the liner 1, and the disinfectant is used for disinfecting substances in the liner 1.

That is, after the electrolysis of the solution in the water tank 4 is completed, the sterilizing liquid electrolytically generated in the water tank 4 is discharged into the inner container 1 to sterilize the substance.

As a specific embodiment, the following technical solution can be adopted for disinfecting the substances in the liner 1 by using the disinfectant: acquiring a first disinfectant amount discharged into the inner container 1; judging whether the first disinfectant amount reaches a preset first disinfectant threshold value; when the first disinfectant amount reaches the first disinfectant threshold value, disinfecting the substances in the liner 1 by utilizing the disinfectant discharged into the liner 1. In an example, the disinfectant generated by electrolysis is introduced into the inner container 1 of the dish washer to execute a disinfection program, the disinfectant is basically and uniformly covered on the whole inner container 1 and tableware by utilizing the spray arm, and the disinfection and washing are carried out on the disinfectant, wherein the washing time is generally 10-30 min, and then the effective sterilization and disinfection effects can be achieved.

When the first disinfectant amount does not reach the first disinfectant threshold value, the second communicating pipe is conducted to feed water into the inner container 1; acquiring the water adding amount of the inner container 1; when the water adding amount of the inner container 1 is the difference value between the first disinfectant threshold and the first disinfectant amount, disinfecting substances in the inner container 1 by utilizing the disinfectant discharged into the inner container 1 and the water discharged into the inner container 1.

As a further embodiment, before sterilizing the substance in the inner container 1 by using the sterilizing liquid discharged into the inner container 1 and the water discharged into the inner container 1, the method further comprises: and uniformly mixing the disinfectant discharged into the inner container 1 with the water discharged into the inner container 1.

In the control method of the dishwasher provided in embodiment 1 of the present invention, the first connection pipe is connected to supply water to the water tank 4, and it is determined whether the solution in the water tank 4 meets a preset first condition; when the solution meets the first condition, cutting off the first communicating pipeline, communicating the second communicating pipeline to feed water into the inner container 1, and washing the substances in the inner container 1; after the washing of the substances in the inner container 1 is finished, the electrolysis assembly 5 is started to electrolyze the solution in the water tank 4 to generate a disinfectant; after the electrolysis in the water tank 4 is completed, the third communication pipeline is conducted to discharge the disinfectant to the inner container 1, and the disinfectant is used for disinfecting substances in the inner container 1, that is, whether the solution in the water tank 4 meets the electrolysis condition is judged firstly, when the solution in the water tank 4 meets the electrolysis condition, the substances in the inner container 1 are washed, and after the washing of the substances is finished, the solution in the water tank 4 is electrolyzed to generate the disinfectant, and the generated disinfectant is used for disinfecting the substances in the inner container 1 and the inner container 1, so that the washing function of the dishwasher and the disinfecting function of hypochlorous acid can be combined together, and the problem that the dishwasher does not have the disinfecting and sterilizing function or has poor disinfecting and sterilizing function is solved.

Example 5

To describe the control method of the dishwasher according to the embodiments 2 to 4 of the present invention in more detail, a specific example is given.

In embodiment 5 of the present invention, the function module of electrolytic disinfection can be used as an accessory function to be added to a washing program of the dishwasher, and can also be used as a separate function to realize the disinfection mode of the dishwasher.

As shown in fig. 14, the control method of the dishwasher in embodiment 5 of the present invention is as follows:

when the dishwasher needs to operate a disinfection mode, whether the dishwasher water softener 7 is in a salt shortage state needs to be detected, if the dishwasher is in the salt shortage state, the electrolytic disinfection function can not be used alone or the additional electrolytic disinfection function can not be carried out, and if the hardness of water introduced into the dishwasher is too high, scale can be generated on the surface of an electrolytic sheet by using the electrolytic disinfection function for a long time, so that the electrolytic efficiency is reduced, and the electrolytic efficiency is invalid or even damaged.

The user needs to select whether to add salt to the water softener 7 to restore the water softening function of the water softener 7. If the salt is added, the selected disinfection function can be carried out again, and if the salt is not added, only the unnecessary salt adding function set in the set program can be selected for use.

When the water softener 7 is not in the salt deficiency state, a user can select the disinfection function on the operation table 20, the operation table 20 sends an instruction to the controller 21, and the controller 21 sends an instruction to the first valve 12, the first flow detection device 3, the second flow detection device 6 and the second valve 14 to start working after receiving the signal. Water will enter the respirator 2 through the first valve 12 and the first flow detection means 3 in the respirator 2 will detect the amount of water that is introduced.

A small part of the introduced water enters the inner container 1, and the other most part of the introduced water enters the water softener 7 to reduce the hardness of the water through resin. The softened water then enters the water tank 4 through the second valve 14, and the second flow detection device 6 in the water tank 4 detects the amount of the entering water. When the amount of water entering the water tank 4 reaches a certain set value, the second flow detection device 6 will send a signal to the controller 21 to perform the solution current detection in the water tank 4. When the current in the water tank 4 is detected to be smaller than the set current measurement value, the controller 21 will send a command to the second flow detection device 6 and the second valve 14 to stop working. At the same time, a command is sent to the third valve 15 to start the operation.

In the process, the first valve 12 continuously works, and when the first flow detection device 3 detects that the introduced water amount is the water amount required by normal washing of the dishwasher, the controller sends instructions to the first valve 12, the first flow detection device 3 and the third valve 15 to stop working. And simultaneously, starting the washing pump 13, then finishing the normal washing and drying process and reporting that the disinfection is not carried out at this time.

Of course, the controller 21 may send a command to stop the operation of the second valve 14, the first flow rate detector 3, and the second flow rate detector 6. Meanwhile, the controller 21 sends an instruction to open the third valve 15 and the drain pump 16, and when the drain pump 16 runs for a set drain time, the third valve 15 and the drain pump 16 are closed, the disinfection program is ended, the user is reminded to add salt again, and then the process is resumed.

When the current in the water tank 4 is detected to be larger than a certain set measured value, water continues to be fed into the water tank 4, and when the set water feeding value is reached, the controller 21 sends a command to stop working to the second valve 14 and the second flow detection device 6. The first flow detecting means 3 continues to detect the inflow of water, and when the amount of water introduced, which is newly detected by the first flow detecting means 3, is the amount of water required for normal washing of the dishwasher, the controller 21 sends a command to stop the operation of the second valve 14 and the first flow detecting means 3. At the same time, a command is sent to start the washing pump 13 to operate.

When the dishwasher finishes washing according to a set washing program, the drain pump 16 is started to drain the waste water in the water cup 17. Then the controller 21 sends an instruction to the second valve 14 and the first flow detecting device 3, when the first flow detecting device 3 detects the amount of water required for normal washing of the dishwasher, the second valve 14 and the first flow detecting device 3 stop working, and then the washing pump 13 is continuously started to make the water introduced into the inner container 1 perform rinsing work. And washing and cooling the inner container 1 and the water tank 4 of the dishwasher according to the set rinsing time of the dishwasher. The number of rinses is at least 1 per se. When all the rinsing times are finished, the drain pump 16 drains the waste water in the water cup.

The controller 21 then energizes the electrode sheets in the electrolytic assembly 5. When the electrolysis is set for a set time (preferably 10-40min), the electrolysis is stopped. Then, the controller 21 controls to open the third valve 15, and when the sterilizing fluid electrolyzed in the water tank 4 is completely put into the inner container 1, the controller 21 stops the operation of the third valve 15. If the water quantity entering the water tank 4 is controlled to meet the water quantity required by normal washing of the dish-washing machine, the controller 21 sends an instruction to the washing pump 13 to start, and then the inner container, the tableware and the like of the dish-washing machine are washed by circulating disinfectant according to a normal washing mode.

Of course, if the controller 21 is set to control the amount of water entering the water tank 4 to be less than the amount of water required for normal washing of the dishwasher, the controller opens the second valve 14 and the first flow sensing device 3 to supply water into the tub 1. When the amount of water detected by the first flow sensing means 3 is the amount of water set by the dishwasher in normal dishwasher and the second flow sensing means 6 detects the difference into the tank of the water tank 4, the controller 21 sends a command to close the second valve 14 and the first flow sensing means 3. And meanwhile, sending an instruction to the washing pump 13 to start a normal dishwasher installation mode to carry out circulating disinfectant washing on the inner container 1 of the dishwasher, tableware and the like.

When the washing action time reaches a set time (preferably, the set time is 10min-30min), the controller 21 controls the drainage pump 16 to be started for drainage. After the drainage is finished and the drainage pump 16 is controlled to be closed, the controller 21 controls the first valve 12 and the first flow detecting device 3 to be opened, and then when the first flow detecting device 3 detects that the entering water amount is the set water amount required by the normal washing operation of the dishwasher, the first valve 12 and the first flow detecting device 3 stop operating. Meanwhile, the controller 21 controls the washing pump 13 to circularly clean the inner container 1 of the dishwasher, the tableware and the like according to a normal washing mode, and removes residual disinfectant from the inner container 1 of the dishwasher, the tableware and the like, wherein the rinsing frequency is at least more than 1.

After rinsing is completed according to the set program, the first fan assembly 11 and the second fan assembly 19 start to work, the washed inner container 1 is dried and gas existing in the inner container 1 of the dish washer is discharged, and the whole disinfection program is finished. The gas in the inner container 1 can be discharged by a fan after washing is finished, or can be automatically opened to exhaust and dry. Of course, it may be performed at some stage of the overall operation.

The rinsing water may be supplied as much as the amount of water required for the dishwasher to normally wash through the water tank 4, and then the rinsing is performed by supplying the water in the water tank 44 to the inner tub 1.

When the sterilizing function is started, the controller 21 sends a command to the door lock 8 and simultaneously unlocks the door lock 8 to operate, so that the door is not unlocked when the dishwasher operates the sterilizing function, thereby causing an influence. Of course, the door lock 8 can be opened all the time during the operation of the disinfection function, or can be opened during the electrolysis of the disinfection solution.

Example 6

To describe the control method of the dishwasher according to the embodiments 2 to 4 of the present invention in more detail, another specific example is given. Example 6 of the present invention is different from example 5 of the present invention in that: when the respirator 2 of the dishwasher is not provided with a through hole which can directly lead water into the inner container 1, another flowmeter can be arranged or not arranged in the water tank 4, and the flowmeter is not generally added.

The specific process of embodiment 6 of the invention is as follows:

when the dishwasher needs to operate the sterilization mode, whether the dishwasher water softener 7 is in a salt shortage state or not needs to be detected, if the dishwasher is in the salt shortage state, the electrolytic sterilization function can not be used alone or the additional electrolytic sterilization function can not be carried out, and if the hardness of water introduced into the dishwasher is too high, scale can be generated on the surface of an electrolytic sheet by using the electrolytic sterilization function for a long time, so that the electrolytic efficiency is reduced, and the water is invalid or even damaged.

When the water softener 7 is not in the salt deficiency state, a user can select the disinfection function on the operation console 20, the operation console 20 sends an instruction to the controller 21, and the controller 21 sends an instruction to the first valve 12, the first flow rate detection device 3 and the second valve 14 to start working after receiving the signal.

Water enters the respirator 2 from the first valve 12, enters the water tank 4 through the second valve 14 after being softened by the respirator 2 and the water softener 7, and is detected by the first flow detection device 3 in the respirator 2. When the amount of water entering the water tank 4 reaches a certain set value, the first flow rate detection device 3 will send a signal to the controller 21 to perform the solution current detection in the water tank 4. When it is detected that the current in the water tank 4 is less than the set current measurement, the controller 21 will send a command to the second valve 14 to stop. At the same time, a command is given to the third valve 15 to start operation.

The first valve 12 continues to work, and when the first flow detection device 3 detects that the introduced water amount is the water amount required by normal washing of the dishwasher, the controller 21 sends instructions to the first valve 12, the first flow detection device 3 and the third valve 15 to stop working. And simultaneously, starting the washing pump 13, then finishing the normal washing and drying process and reporting that the disinfection is not carried out at this time.

Of course, the controller 21 may send a command to stop the operation of the second valve 14, the first flow rate detecting device 3, and so on. Meanwhile, the controller 21 sends an instruction to open the third valve 15 and the drain pump 16, and when the drain pump 16 runs for a set drain time, the third valve 15 and the drain pump 16 are closed, the disinfection program is ended, the user is reminded to add salt again, and then the process is resumed.

When the current in the water tank 4 is detected to be larger than a certain set measured value, water continues to be fed into the water tank 4, and when the set water feeding value is reached, the controller 21 sends a command to stop working of the second valve 14. The first flow detecting means 3 continues to detect the inflow of water, and when the amount of water introduced, which is newly detected by the first flow detecting means 3, is the amount of water required for normal washing of the dishwasher, the controller 21 sends a command to stop the operation of the second valve 14 and the first flow detecting means 3. At the same time, a command is sent to start the washing pump 13 to operate.

When the dishwasher is set with a predetermined washing program to complete washing, the drain pump 16 is turned on to drain the waste water in the water cup 17. Then the controller 21 sends an instruction to the second valve 14 and the first flow detecting device 3, when the first flow detecting device 3 detects the amount of water required for normal washing of the dishwasher, the second valve 14 and the first flow detecting device 3 stop working, and then the washing pump 13 is continuously started to make the water introduced into the inner container 1 perform rinsing work. And washing and cooling the inner container 1 and the water tank 4 of the dishwasher according to the set rinsing time of the dishwasher. The number of rinses is at least 1 per se. When all the rinsing times are finished, the drain pump 16 drains the waste water in the water cup 17.

The controller 21 then energizes the electrode sheets in the electrolytic assembly 5. When the electrolysis is carried out for a set time (preferably 10-40min), the electrolysis is stopped. Then the controller 21 controls to open the third valve 15, and when the disinfectant generated by electrolysis in the water tank 4 is completely put into the inner container 1, the controller 21 stops the operation of the third valve 15. If the water quantity entering the water tank 4 is controlled to meet the water quantity required by normal washing of the dish-washing machine, the controller 21 sends an instruction to the washing pump 13 to start, and then the inner container 1, tableware and the like of the dish-washing machine are washed by circulating disinfectant according to a normal washing mode.

Of course, if the controller 21 is set to control the amount of water entering the water tank 4 to be less than the amount of water required for normal washing of the dishwasher, the second valve 14 and the first flow detecting means 3 are opened to supply water into the tub 1. When the amount of water detected by the first flow sensing means 3 is a difference between the amount of water set for a normal dishwasher of the dishwasher and the amount of water entering the water tank 4 in the water tank 4, the controller 21 sends a command to close the second valve 14 and the first flow sensing means 3. And meanwhile, sending an instruction to the washing pump 13 to start a normal dishwasher installation mode to carry out circulating disinfectant washing on the inner container 1 of the dishwasher, tableware and the like.

When the washing action time reaches a set time (preferably, the set time is 10min-30min), the controller 21 controls the drainage pump 16 to be started for drainage. After the drainage is finished and the drainage pump 16 is controlled to be closed, the controller 21 controls the first valve 12 and the first flow detecting device 3 to be opened, and then when the first flow detecting device 3 detects that the entering water amount is the set water amount required by the normal washing operation of the dishwasher, the first valve 12 and the first flow detecting device 3 stop operating.

Meanwhile, the controller 21 controls the washing pump 13 to circularly clean the inner container 1 of the dishwasher, the tableware and the like according to a normal washing mode, and removes residual disinfectant from the inner container 1 of the dishwasher, the tableware and the like, wherein the rinsing frequency is at least more than 1. After rinsing is completed according to the set program, the first fan assembly 11 and the second fan assembly 19 start to work, the washed inner container 1 is dried and gas existing in the inner container 1 of the dish washer is discharged, and the whole disinfection program is finished. The gas in the inner container 1 can be discharged by a fan after washing is finished, or can be automatically opened to exhaust and dry. Of course, it may be performed at some stage of the overall operation.

Of course, the water supply flow to the water tank 4 may be set to supply water at any time after the main wash water supply is completed. The rinsing water may be supplied as much as the amount of water required for the dishwasher to normally wash through the water tank 4, and then the rinsing may be performed by supplying the water in the water tank 4 into the inner tub 1.

and S701, in the execution process of the washing program, the first communication pipeline is communicated to feed water into the water tank 4, and whether the solution in the water tank 4 meets a preset first condition is judged.

In the course of executing the first washing program of the dishwasher, the water can be added into the water tank 4 after the first communication pipeline is conducted. There is salt (being the sodium chloride) in the water tank 4, and it is concrete can set up in water tank 4 and add salt subassembly 10, and water tank 4 is intake and can be dissolved salt in adding salt subassembly 10, obtains the sodium chloride solution, then judges whether the solution in the water tank 4 accords with predetermined first condition.

As a first specific embodiment, the following technical solution may be adopted to determine whether the solution in the water tank 4 meets a preset first condition: acquiring the water quantity in the water tank 4; when the water amount in the water tank 4 reaches the first water amount threshold value, acquiring the parameter for representing the concentration of the solution; when the parameter for characterizing the concentration of the solution reaches the first concentration threshold value, the solution in the water tank 4 is determined to meet the first condition.

As a second specific embodiment, the following technical solution may be further adopted to determine whether the solution in the water tank 4 meets the preset first condition: acquiring the water quantity in the water tank 4; when the water amount in the water tank 4 reaches a preset second water amount threshold value, acquiring a parameter for representing the concentration of the solution, wherein the second water amount threshold value is smaller than the first water amount threshold value; when the parameter for representing the concentration of the solution reaches a preset first concentration threshold value, continuously adding water into the water tank 4; when the amount of water in the water tank 4 reaches a preset first water amount threshold value, it is determined that the solution in the water tank 4 meets the first condition.

Considering that the existing dish washing machines are all provided with the breather 2, specifically, the breather 2 is arranged between the water source and the water tank 4, and/or the breather 2 is arranged between the water source and the inner container 1, that is, the breather is arranged on the first communicating pipeline and/or the second communicating pipeline. The breather 2 may or may not be provided with a through hole for allowing a small amount of water in the breather 2 to directly flow into the inner container 1. When the breather 2 is not provided with the through hole, a second flow detection device 6 can be arranged in the breather 2, and when the first communication pipeline is conducted, the water quantity in the breather 2 is the same as that in the water tank 4; when the second communication pipeline is conducted, the water quantity in the respirator 2 is the same as that in the liner 1. Therefore, the amount of water in the water tank 4 can be detected by the second flow rate detecting device 6, and the amount of water in the liner 1 can also be detected by the second flow rate detecting device 6, so that the first flow rate detecting device 3 does not need to be arranged in the water tank 4, and the cost is saved.

S702, cutting off the first communication pipeline when the solution meets the first condition.

Further, when the solution in the water tank 4 does not meet the first condition, the water in the water tank 4 is discharged out of the dishwasher or the third communication pipeline is conducted to discharge the water in the water tank 4 into the inner container 1 for a preset washing program.

That is, when the solution in the water tank 4 satisfies the electrolysis condition, no water is added to the water tank 4; when the solution in the water tank 4 does not meet the electrolysis condition, no water is added into the water tank 4, and simultaneously the water in the water tank 4 is discharged out of the dish-washing machine or into the liner 1,

specifically, as a further embodiment of the first and second embodiments, when the parameter for characterizing the concentration of the solution does not reach the first concentration threshold, the water in the water tank 4 is drained out of the dishwasher, and a first prompt message that salt needs to be added to the water tank 4 is sent. Specifically, a third communication pipeline between a water outlet of the water tank 4 and a second water inlet of the liner 1 can be communicated to discharge water in the water tank 4 into the liner 1; the water in the inner tub 1 is then drained out of the dishwasher by means of the drain pump 16 in the inner tub 1.

And S703, after the washing program is finished, starting the electrolysis component 5 to electrolyze the electrolyte in the water tank 4 to generate a disinfectant.

Specifically, as a first embodiment, the cold bleaching of the substance may be performed by controlling the number of times of the rinsing, that is, by performing the cold bleaching of the substance for a predetermined number of times, for example, 1 to 3 times of the cold bleaching, and the specific number of times may be determined according to the water temperature during the main washing, the temperature of the inner tub 1 after the main washing, the water temperature during the rinsing, the water inflow during the rinsing, and the like.

As a second embodiment, the cold bleaching of the substance can be controlled by the temperature after rinsing, i.e. the substance is cold bleached (here, it can be a single cold bleaching or multiple cold bleaching), and after the cold bleaching of the substance is finished, the temperature of the inner container 1/the electrolytic assembly 5 is obtained; when the temperature is lower than a preset first temperature threshold value, stopping cold bleaching; and when the temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold value, continuing cold bleaching. In an example, the temperature sensor detects the temperature value of the inner container 1 before the cold rinsing stage is finished, if the temperature of the inner container 1 is lower than 40 ℃, the electrolytic component 5 starts to prepare the disinfectant, if the cold rinsing stage is finished and the temperature of the inner container 1 is higher than 40 ℃, the cold rinsing is added again, and after the temperature of the inner container 1 is detected to be lower than 40 ℃, the electrolytic device starts to prepare the sodium hypochlorite disinfectant.

After the washing of the substance in the inner container 1 is completed, the solution in the water tank 4 is electrolyzed. As a specific embodiment, the electrodes in the electrolysis module 5 may be electrified to complete the electrolysis of the solution, and the electrolysis is stopped when the electrolysis time reaches a set time. For example, a direct current voltage of 12V to 24V can be applied to the electrode sheet, and then the electrolysis is performed in the water tank 4 for 10min to 40min (the electrolysis time is different according to the difference between the salt adding amount and the current density), and finally the disinfectant with the required effective hypochlorite concentration can be generated. The disinfection by using the electrolyzed water is to utilize hypochlorite, hypochlorous acid or other substances with strong oxidizing property generated by the electrolysis of the sodium chloride solution to carry out strong killing on bacteria and viruses.

In embodiment 7 of the present invention, the operation principle of the dishwasher electrolysis is as follows:

cathode 2Cl^--2e＝Cl₂

Anode 2H₂O+2e^-＝H₂+2OH^-

And (3) total reaction: 2Cl^-+2H₂O＝H₂+Cl₂+2OH^-

S704, after the electrolysis is finished, the third communication pipeline is conducted to discharge the disinfectant into the liner 1, and the disinfectant is used for disinfecting substances in the liner 1.

As a specific embodiment, the following technical solution can be adopted for disinfecting the substances in the liner 1 by using the disinfectant: acquiring a first disinfectant amount discharged into the inner container 1;

judging whether the first disinfectant amount reaches a preset first disinfectant threshold value; when the first disinfectant amount reaches the first disinfectant threshold value, disinfecting the substances in the liner 1 by utilizing the disinfectant discharged into the liner 1. In an example, the disinfectant generated by electrolysis is introduced into the inner container 1 of the dish washer to execute a disinfection program, the disinfectant is basically and uniformly covered on the whole inner container 1 and tableware by utilizing the spray arm, and the disinfection and washing are carried out on the disinfectant, wherein the washing time is generally 10-30 min, and then the effective sterilization and disinfection effects can be achieved. For example, when the amount of the disinfecting liquid generated by direct electrolysis to generate the required effective chlorine concentration in the water tank 4 or the amount of the disinfecting liquid generated by electrolysis can reach the first disinfecting liquid threshold value, the disinfecting liquid discharged into the liner 1 can be directly utilized to disinfect the substances in the liner 1.

When the first disinfectant amount does not reach the first disinfectant threshold value, the second communicating pipe is conducted to feed water into the inner container 1; acquiring the water adding amount of the inner container 1; when the water adding amount of the inner container 1 is the difference value between the first disinfectant threshold and the first disinfectant amount, disinfecting substances in the inner container 1 by utilizing the disinfectant discharged into the inner container 1 and the water discharged into the inner container 1. For example, when the disinfecting liquid generated by electrolysis in the water tank 4 is a disinfecting liquid with a high effective chlorine concentration or the amount of the disinfecting liquid generated by electrolysis does not reach the first threshold value of the disinfecting liquid, water can be added into the liner 1, and the disinfecting liquid discharged into the liner 1 and the water discharged into the liner 1 are used together to disinfect the substances in the liner 1.

In the method for controlling a dishwasher according to embodiment 7 of the present invention, during the execution of the first washing program, the first connection pipe is connected to supply water to the water tank 4, and it is determined whether the solution in the water tank 4 meets a preset first condition; cutting off the first communication pipeline when the solution meets the first condition; after the first washing program is finished, the washing water is drained out by the drainage pump through the drainage port 26, and then the electrolysis component 5 is started to electrolyze the electrolyte in the water tank 4 to generate a disinfectant; after the electrolysis is finished, the third communication pipeline is conducted to discharge the disinfectant into the inner container 1, and the disinfectant is used for disinfecting substances in the inner container 1, namely, in the process of executing the first washing program, water is added into the water tank 4, whether the solution in the water tank 4 meets the electrolysis condition is judged, when the solution in the water tank 4 meets the electrolysis condition, the water is stopped being added into the water tank 4, after the first washing program is finished, the solution in the water tank 4 is electrolyzed to generate the disinfectant, and the generated disinfectant is used for disinfecting the substances in the inner container 1 and the inner container 1, so that the washing function of the dish washing machine and the disinfecting function of hypochlorous acid can be combined together, and the problem that the dish washing machine does not have the disinfecting and sterilizing function or is poor is solved.

Example 10

To describe the control method of the dishwasher according to the embodiments 7 to 9 of the present invention in more detail, a specific example is given.

In the embodiment 10 of the present invention, the function module of electrolytic disinfection can be used as an accessory function to be added to a washing program of the dishwasher, and can also be used as a separate function to realize the disinfection mode of the dishwasher.

In the embodiment 10 of the invention, the respirator 2 is provided with a through hole which can directly flow into the inner container 1.

As shown in fig. 18, the control method of the dishwasher in embodiment 10 of the present invention is as follows:

When the water softener 7 is not in the salt deficiency state, a user can select the disinfection function on the operation table 20, the operation table 20 sends an instruction to the controller 21, and the controller 21 sends an instruction to the first valve 12 and the first flow detection device 3 to start working after receiving the signal. Water will enter the respirator 2 through the first valve 12 and the first flow detection means 3 in the respirator 2 will detect the amount of water that is introduced.

At this time, a small amount of water enters the inner bladder 1, and another large amount of water enters the water softener 7 to reduce the hardness of water by the resin. The softened water then passes through the second valve 14 into the cup 17.

When the amount of water entering the dishwasher detected by the first flow detection device 3 is the amount of water required for normal washing of the dishwasher, the controller 21 sends a command to turn on the washing pump 13 for main washing, and simultaneously sends a command to turn on the second valve 14 and the second flow detection device 6 to feed water into the water tank 4. When the amount of water entering the water tank 4 reaches a certain set value, the second flow detection device 6 will send a signal to the controller 21 to perform the solution current detection in the water tank 4. When the current in the water tank 4 is detected to be smaller than the set current measurement value, the controller 21 sends a command to the first flow detecting device 3, the second flow detecting device 6, and the second valve 14 to stop working.

After the washing is finished, the controller 21 sends an instruction to start the drain pump 16 and the third valve 15 for draining, and then rinsing and drying are carried out, and the fact that the disinfection is not carried out at this time is reported.

When the current in the water tank 4 is detected to be larger than a certain set measured value, water continues to be supplied into the water tank 4, and when the set water supply value is reached, the controller 21 sends a command to stop the operation of the second valve 14 and the second flow rate detection device 6. When the dishwasher finishes washing according to a set washing program, the drain pump 16 is started to drain the waste water in the water cup 17.

The controller 21 then sends a command to the second valve 14 and the first flow rate detecting device 3, when the first flow rate detecting device 3 detects the amount of water required for normal washing of the dishwasher, the second valve 14 and the first flow rate detecting device 3 stop working, and then the washing pump 13 is continuously started to make the water introduced into the inner container 1 perform rinsing work.

And washing and cooling the inner container 1 and the water tank 4 of the dishwasher according to the set rinsing time of the dishwasher. The number of rinses is at least 1 per se. When all the rinsing times are finished, the drain pump 16 drains the waste water from the water cup 17. The controller 21 then energizes the electrode tabs in the electrolytic assembly 5.

When the electrolysis is carried out for a set time (preferably 10-40min), the electrolysis is stopped. Then the controller 21 controls to open the third valve 15, and when the sterilizing liquid generated by electrolysis in the water tank 4 is completely put into the inner container 1, the controller 21 stops the operation of the third valve 15.

If the water quantity entering the water tank 4 is controlled to meet the water quantity required by normal washing of the dish-washing machine, the controller 21 sends an instruction to the washing pump 13 to start, and then the inner container 1, tableware and the like of the dish-washing machine are washed by circulating disinfectant according to a normal washing mode. Of course, if the controller 21 is set to control the amount of water entering the water tank 4 to be less than the amount of water required for normal washing of the dishwasher, the controller opens the second valve 14 and the first flow sensing device 3 to supply water into the tub 1.

When the amount of water detected by the first flow sensing means 3 is a difference between the amount of water set for a normal dishwasher of the dishwasher and the amount of water entering the water tank 4 detected by the second flow sensing means 6 in the water tank 4, the controller 21 sends a command to close the second valve 14 and the first flow sensing means 3. And meanwhile, sending an instruction to the washing pump 13 to start a normal dishwasher installation mode to carry out circulating disinfectant washing on the inner container 1 of the dishwasher, tableware and the like. When the washing action time reaches a set time (preferably, the set time is 10min-30min), the controller 21 controls the drainage pump 16 to be started for drainage.

After the drainage is completed and the drainage pump 16 is controlled to be closed, the controller 21 controls the first valve 12 and the first flow detecting device 3 to be opened, and then when the first flow detecting device 3 detects that the entering water amount is the set water amount required by the normal washing operation of the dishwasher, the first valve 12 and the first flow detecting device 3 stop operating. Meanwhile, the controller 21 controls the washing pump 13 to circularly clean the inner container 1 of the dishwasher, the tableware and the like according to a normal washing mode, and removes residual disinfectant from the inner container 1 of the dishwasher, the tableware and the like, wherein the rinsing frequency is at least more than 1. After rinsing is completed according to the set program, the first fan assembly 11 and the second fan assembly 19 start to work, the washed inner container 1 is dried and gas existing in the inner container 1 of the dish washer is discharged, and the whole disinfection program is finished. The gas in the inner container 1 can be discharged by a fan after washing is finished, or can be automatically opened to exhaust and dry. Of course, it may be performed at some stage of the overall operation.

Of course, the water inlet flow into the water tank 4 can be set to be water inlet at any time after the main washing water inlet is finished. The rinsing water inlet in the washing process can also be the water amount needed for entering the dishwasher for normal washing through the water tank 4, and then the water in the water tank 4 is put into the inner container 1 for rinsing.

Example 11

To describe the control method of the dishwasher according to embodiments 7 to 9 of the present invention in more detail, another specific example is given. Example 11 of the present invention is different from example 10 of the present invention in that: when the respirator 2 of the dishwasher is not provided with a through hole which can directly lead water into the inner container 1, the water tank 4 can be provided with or not provided with another flowmeter, and the flowmeter is not generally added.

The specific process of embodiment 11 of the present invention is as follows:

the respirator 2 of the dishwasher is not provided with a through hole which can directly lead water into the inner container 1. The water tank 4 may or may not have another flow meter, which is not typically added.

When the water softener 7 is not in the salt deficiency state, a user can select the disinfection function on the operation table 20, the operation table 20 sends an instruction to the controller 21, and the controller 21 sends an instruction to the first valve 12 and the first flow detection device 3 to start working after receiving the signal. Water will enter the respirator 2 through the first valve 12 and the first flow detection means 3 in the respirator 2 will detect the amount of water that is introduced. The water enters the water softener 7 and the hardness of the water is reduced by the resin. The softened water then passes through the second valve 14 into the cup 17.

When the amount of water entering the dishwasher detected by the first flow rate detecting means 3 is the amount of water required for normal washing of the dishwasher, the controller 21 sends a command to turn on the washing pump 13 for main washing and also sends a command to turn on the second valve 14 for supplying water into the water tank 44. When the amount of water entering the water tank 4 reaches a certain set value, the first flow rate detection device 3 will send a signal to the controller 21 to perform the solution current detection in the water tank 4. When the current in the water tank 4 is detected to be smaller than the set current measurement value, the controller 21 sends a command to the first flow rate detecting device 3 and the second valve 14 to stop working.

When it is detected that the current in the water tank 4 is greater than a predetermined value, water continues to be supplied to the water tank 4, and when the predetermined value is reached, the controller 21 sends a command to the second valve 14 to stop working. When the dishwasher finishes washing according to a set washing program, the drain pump 16 is started to drain the waste water in the water cup 17.

When the electrolysis is carried out for a set time (preferably 10-40min), the electrolysis is stopped. Then the controller 21 controls to open the third valve 15, and when the disinfectant generated by electrolysis in the water tank 4 is completely put into the inner container 1, the controller 21 stops the operation of the third valve 15.

If the water quantity entering the water tank 4 is controlled to meet the water quantity required by the normal washing of the dish-washing machine, the controller 21 sends an instruction to the washing pump 13 to start, and then the inner container 1, tableware and the like of the dish-washing machine are washed by circulating disinfectant according to a normal washing mode. Of course, if the controller 21 is set to control the amount of water entering the water tank 4 to be less than the amount of water required for normal washing of the dishwasher, the controller opens the second valve 14 and the first flow sensing device 3 to supply water into the tub 1.

When the amount of water detected by the first flow sensing means 3 is a difference between the amount of water set for a normal dishwasher of the dishwasher and the amount of water entering the water tank 4 in the water tank 4, the controller 21 sends a command to close the second valve 14 and the first flow sensing means 3. And meanwhile, sending an instruction to the washing pump 13 to start a normal dishwasher installation mode to carry out circulating disinfectant washing on the inner container 1 of the dishwasher, tableware and the like. When the washing action time reaches a set time (preferably, the set time is 10min-30min), the controller 21 controls the drainage pump 16 to be started for drainage.

After the drainage is completed and the drainage pump 16 is controlled to be closed, the controller 21 controls the first valve 12 and the first flow detecting device 3 to be opened, and then when the first flow detecting device 3 detects that the entering water amount is the set water amount required by the normal washing operation of the dishwasher, the first valve 12 and the first flow detecting device 3 stop operating. Meanwhile, the controller 21 controls the washing pump 13 to circularly clean the inner container 1 of the dishwasher, the tableware and the like according to a normal washing mode, and removes residual disinfectant from the inner container 1 of the dishwasher, the tableware and the like, wherein the rinsing frequency is at least more than 1.

Of course, the flow of water into the tank 44 may be set to provide water at any time after the main wash is completed. The rinsing water may be supplied as much as the amount of water required for the dishwasher to normally wash through the water tank 44, and then the rinsing is performed while the water in the water tank 4 is supplied into the inner tub 1.

Illustratively, the temperature in the electrolytic water tank is acquired in real time by a temperature detection device provided in the electrolytic water tank.

And secondly, when the temperature meets the preset electrolysis temperature, starting the electrolysis assembly to electrolyze the solution in the electrolysis water tank.

Illustratively, when the temperature meets the preset electrolysis temperature, the electrolysis assembly is started to electrolyze the solution in the electrolysis water tank. The temperature is too high, which decomposes the disinfecting liquid generated by electrolysis, and thus, if the temperature in the electrolysis water tank is too high, the disinfecting effect of the disinfecting liquid is affected. Through carrying out real-time detection to the temperature in the electrolytic water tank, carry out the cooling operation to the electrolytic water tank when the temperature in the electrolytic water tank is higher to guarantee that the temperature in the electrolytic water tank satisfies the electrolysis temperature. And when the temperature in the electrolytic water tank meets the preset electrolysis temperature, starting the electrolysis assembly to electrolyze the solution in the electrolytic water tank.

As an alternative embodiment, before step S13, the dishwasher control method further includes: the object to be disinfected is subjected to hot rinsing.

For example, when the sterilization is completed, in order to prevent the sterilizing liquid remaining on the dishes from affecting the health of the user, it is necessary to perform a hot rinsing operation on the sterilized dishes to decompose the sterilizing liquid remaining on the dishes. When hot rinsing is carried out, common tap water introduced into the water storage tank can be heated to a preset hot rinsing temperature, then washing water heated to the preset hot rinsing temperature is introduced into the inner container, and the washing water heated to the preset hot rinsing temperature is used for carrying out hot rinsing on tableware in the inner container; washing water with a preset hot bleaching temperature can be directly introduced into the inner container, and the washing water with the preset hot bleaching temperature is used for carrying out hot bleaching on the tableware in the inner container. For example, when the disinfectant is sodium hypochlorite, common tap water can be heated to more than 60 ℃ to thermally rinse tableware; or the water supply with the temperature of more than 60 ℃ can be introduced into the inner container to carry out hot rinsing on the tableware. The operation mode of the hot rinsing is not limited in the present application, and can be determined by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.

As an optional implementation manner, after step S11, the method further includes: and starting the fan assembly to discharge gas generated by electrolysis.

For example, the electrolysis assembly generates gas during electrolysis, and in order to prevent the gas generated by electrolysis from influencing the gas pressure inside the dishwasher, the fan assembly can be started after the electrolysis is finished, and the gas generated during the electrolysis process is discharged out of the dishwasher. For example, the chemical formula for electrolyzing a saturated sodium chloride solution to produce a sodium hypochlorite solution is: NaCl + H₂O→NaClO+H₂↓groove, the fan assembly can be opened after the electrolysis is finished, and H generated by the electrolysis₂And discharging the dishwasher. It should be noted that the amount of hydrogen generated during the electrolysis process is small and that the discharge thereof out of the dishwasher by the fan assembly does not affect the safe use of the dishwasher.

Optionally, the fan assembly can be started after the disinfection is finished, the disinfected tableware and the liner are air-dried, and hydrogen generated in the electrolysis process is discharged. This application does not limit the fan subassembly to the opening stage, and the skilled person in the art can confirm according to actual need.

As an optional embodiment, the dishwasher control method further includes: washing the object to be disinfected.

For example, before the objects to be sterilized are sterilized, the objects to be sterilized may be preliminarily washed to wash off stains on the surfaces of the dishes, and the dishes may be preliminarily sterilized.

Specifically, the process of washing the object to be sterilized includes:

first, the object to be sterilized is subjected to main washing.

For example, the object to be sterilized may be preliminarily sterilized before the object to be sterilized is sterilized. The main washing is a preliminary sterilization and disinfection process, in the main washing process, common tap water can be introduced into the water storage tank, the common tap water is heated to a preset main washing temperature, then the tap water heated to the preset main washing temperature is introduced into the inner container, and the tap water heated to the preset main washing temperature is used for carrying out main washing on tableware in the inner container so as to realize preliminary sterilization and disinfection; or directly introducing washing water with a preset main washing temperature into the inner container, and using tap water with the preset main washing temperature to carry out main washing on tableware in the inner container so as to realize preliminary sterilization and disinfection; the washing water with the preset main washing temperature can be directly introduced into the water storage tank, then the tap water with the preset main washing temperature is introduced into the inner container, and the tap water with the preset main washing temperature is used for main washing of tableware in the inner container so as to realize preliminary sterilization. The operation mode of the main washing is not limited in the application, and can be determined by the skilled person according to the actual needs.

Secondly, the object to be disinfected is subjected to cold rinsing.

For example, since a higher temperature may cause the disinfectant to decompose, thereby affecting the disinfection effect of the disinfectant, in order to ensure the disinfection effect of the disinfectant, the temperature of the object to be disinfected and the temperature of the liner in which the object to be disinfected is located need to be reduced, so as to ensure the disinfection effect of the disinfectant. Specifically, the object to be sterilized and the inner container in which the object to be sterilized is located may be cold rinsed with washing water (ordinary tap water) to lower the temperature of the object to be sterilized.
