With reference to the above embodiments, the operation of the dishwasher 100 provided by one embodiment will be described. The wash stage of the dishwasher 100 may include a pre-wash stage, a main wash stage, a cold rinse stage, a hot rinse stage, and a dry stage. The pre-wash stage is primarily to allow fresh water for washing to soak the contaminants on the dishes, so that the contaminants are more easily washed away in the subsequent wash stage. The pre-wash stage typically does not require heating of fresh water, which is typically ambient temperature water, and can be directed from the tank 10. The pre-washing stage generally includes a pre-draining process, a water supply process, a washing process, and a draining process, and the pre-draining process generally drains the washing water left in the washing chamber 140 during the last washing. The water supply process is usually to supply fresh water at normal temperature from the water tank 10 to the washing chamber 140. The washing process generally involves delivering wash water from the washing chamber 140 to the spray arms 145 via the delivery line 149 for spray cleaning of the dishes. The drainage process is to drain the washing wastewater in the stage. The main washing stage and the hot bleaching stage can both comprise a water supply process, a heating process, a washing process and a drainage process, the main washing stage usually adds a cleaning agent into washing water, and the hot bleaching stage usually does not add the cleaning agent. The cold bleaching stage may include a water supply process, a washing process and a water discharge process, and the washing water is not generally required to be heated in the cold bleaching stage. Usually, the heat recovery process can be performed before the water is discharged in the previous washing stage, the discharged hot waste water participates in the heat recovery process, for example, the heat recovery process can be performed in the main washing stage, the hot rinsing stage and the cold rinsing stage, and after the heat recovery, the water supply process in the next washing stage is performed. When the dishwasher has no cold-bleaching stage, the main wash stage and the hot-bleaching stage can be subjected to the heat recovery process described above. The above-mentioned washing stages are not intended to be limiting for the dishwasher of the present embodiment, and different models of functional dishwashers may have different washing stages.
Referring to fig. 1 and 5, for each complete washing process, before S500 before the draining of water in the present washing stage and S506 before the draining of water in the next washing stage, the following steps are included:
s501, when heat recovery is needed, the first water pump 20 and the second water pump 24 are started, the first stop valve 38 and the second stop valve 40 are opened, and the shunt valve 32 is closed;
s502, running for a set time to ensure that the new water in the new water heat exchange pipe section 181 and the hot wastewater in the hot water heat exchange pipe section 221 are subjected to full heat exchange, so that the temperature of the new water is increased; the set time is 2-10 minutes, and the set time can be set according to the washing requirement;
s503, when the heat recovery is finished, the first water pump 20 and the second water pump 24 are closed, and the first stop valve 38 and the second stop valve 40 are closed;
s504, when water is supplied, the second water pump 24 and the shunt valve 32 are opened, so that new water in the water tank 10 flows into the washing cavity 140, and the new water is relatively normal temperature and has higher temperature due to the heat exchange process;
s505, a normal washing step or a heating washing, wherein the heating washing is to heat the new water that has been heat exchanged again until the temperature reaches a set temperature, and the hot water reaching the set temperature is reused for washing, and the reheating may be to heat the washing water inside the washing chamber 140 by using the heating device of the washing unit 14. The normal washing means that washing is directly performed using fresh water that has been heat-exchanged.
For the dishwasher 100, it may include a water tank 10 having a water storage chamber 101, a washing unit 14 having a washing chamber 140, and a heat exchanger 12. The fresh water in the reservoir chamber 101 is circulated by the provision of the first water pump 20 and the fresh water line 18. The second water pump 24 and the hot water pipe 22 are provided to circulate the hot waste water in the washing chamber 140. By providing the water supply line 46, fresh water in the reservoir chamber 101 can be supplied to the washing chamber 140. The supply pipe 149 is provided to supply the washing water in the washing chamber 140 to each spray arm 145. The washing chamber 140 may have a bottom wall and a side wall, and the second heat-exchanging water inlet 142 and the second heat-exchanging water outlet 141 may be disposed on the bottom wall, so that during the heat exchange, the hot waste water flows out of the washing chamber 140 from the bottom wall and flows back to the washing chamber 140 from the bottom wall through the hot water pipe 22, and the heat loss during the heat exchange is small. In another structure, the second heat-exchange water outlet port 141 is disposed on the bottom wall, the second heat-exchange water inlet port 142 is disposed on the spray arm 145, and the hot wastewater flows out of the washing chamber 140 from the bottom wall, and flows back to the washing chamber 140 from the spray arm 145 through the delivery pipe 149 after being lifted.
The above only is the preferred embodiment of the present invention, not so limiting the patent scope of the present invention, all under the concept of the present invention, the equivalent structure transformation made by the contents of the specification and the drawings is utilized, or the direct/indirect application is included in other related technical fields in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
