  Although the above conventional technology uses the waste water from the dishwasher as a disposer, it can contribute to water saving but cannot meet the various needs of users. More specifically, since the disposer treats the candy that is produced during cooking, it is often used immediately after cooking or in the initial stage of dishwashing. On the other hand, since the dishwasher is used to wash dishes and the like used during meals, for example, when a family eats at different times, the use timing of the disposer may be different. However, these stories are only examples, but in any case, while using water savings, there is a certain degree of freedom between the usage of the dishwasher and the usage of the disposer so that it can meet the diverse needs of users. It is desirable to control the dishwasher and the disposer in an integrated manner so that the wastewater from the dishwasher can be used effectively while maintaining the same.

  Therefore, in the present invention, there is provided an integrated control device for integrated control of the dishwasher and the disposer, and an integrated control device for the dishwasher and the disposer that can respond to various needs of the user while saving water. The purpose is to provide.

  In order to solve the above problems, the dishwasher / disposer integrated apparatus according to the present invention integrates and controls a disposer incorporated in a drainage part of a sink installed in a kitchen and a dishwasher installed in the kitchen. An integrated control device for a dishwasher and a disposer for performing a drainage pump provided in the dishwasher, operating means for operating the dishwasher, and supplying water to the disposer for draining the dishwasher And a control means for executing a dish washing mode based on a signal output from the operation means, and the control means drives the drainage pump to drive the drainage pump. A detergent cleaning mode in which cleaning water containing detergent in the dishwasher is supplied to the disposer to clean the inside of the disposer, and the dishwashing High temperature cleaning in which the cleaning water inside is heated by a hot water heater provided in the dishwasher, and the heated high temperature cleaning water is supplied to the disposer by driving the drain pump to clean the inside of the disposer It is configured to be able to execute a strong cleaning mode including at least one of the modes, and the operation means is provided with specification changing means for changing the control content of the strong cleaning mode, and the control means includes the The control content of the strong cleaning mode is changed based on a signal output from the specification changing means.

  The disposer built into the sink drain of the sink installed in the kitchen allows the straw to flow as it is into the drain pipe by crushing the straw that comes out during cooking. After executing the pulverizing step, the cleaning step for cleaning the inside of the disposer is subsequently performed in order to prevent the generation of a strange odor due to the decay of soot from the disposer. In any of these processes, it is necessary to supply water into the disposer. The amount of water required depends on the size of the disposer, but it can be as much as 6 to 10 liters per operation of the disposer. Water supply is required. Needless to say, saving this water can save a lot of water.

  In the present invention, the disposer cleaning process includes a strong cleaning mode including at least one of a detergent cleaning mode and a high temperature cleaning mode, and the disposer can be cleaned using waste water from the dishwasher in the strong cleaning mode. Since it comprises, it becomes unnecessary to use water only for washing | cleaning of a disposer, and a big water saving can be aimed at. Furthermore, a specification changing means for changing the control content of the strong cleaning mode is provided, and the control content of the strong cleaning mode is changed based on a signal output from the specification changing means. It can be modified to suit the needs of the user. Therefore, it is possible to perform integrated control that meets the various needs of users.

  In the dishwasher, a main washing process using water and hot water mixed with detergent and a high temperature rinsing process using hot water are performed. By configuring it to be able to execute at least one of the detergent cleaning mode used for these, the detergent cleaning mode in which the disposer is strongly cleaned using heated hot cleaning water, and the high temperature cleaning mode, the user can Disposer cleaning performance can be significantly improved without any trouble, especially when hot water is used, it can automatically remove the difficult oil stains and disinfect the bacteria. It becomes possible.

  In the dishwasher / disposer integrated control apparatus according to claim 2 of the present application, the control means executes the strong washing mode in relation to drainage of the dishwasher when a preset execution condition is satisfied. The specification changing means is configured to output a first signal, and the control means is in the strong cleaning mode when the first signal is output even when the execution condition is satisfied. It is configured not to execute.

  According to this aspect, when the execution condition is satisfied, the strong washing mode is executed in relation to the drainage timing of the dishwasher, so that the disposer can be operated using the wastewater of the dishwasher. Therefore, it is not necessary to use water only for cleaning the disposer, and a large amount of water can be saved. Furthermore, if the first signal is output from the specification changing means, the execution of the strong washing mode is prohibited even if the execution requirement is satisfied, so the drainage timing of the dishwasher and the strong washing mode are prohibited. It is possible to arbitrarily associate or disassociate the execution with the execution, and the usability is further improved.

  In the integrated controller for the dishwasher and the disposer according to claim 3, the strong cleaning mode includes the detergent cleaning mode and the high temperature cleaning mode, and the specification changing means outputs a second signal and a third signal. When the second cleaning signal is output from the specification changing unit when executing the strong cleaning mode while satisfying the predetermined execution condition, the control unit is configured to output the detergent. Either the cleaning mode or the high temperature cleaning mode is executed, and when there is a third signal output from the specification changing means, both the detergent cleaning mode and the high temperature cleaning mode are executed. It is characterized by that.

  In this aspect, either the detergent cleaning mode or the high temperature cleaning mode can be executed or both can be executed in response to the second signal or the third signal output from the specification changing unit. In addition, it becomes possible to perform necessary cleaning in a form that meets the needs of the user in relation to the degree of dirt on the disposer.

  In the integrated control apparatus for a dishwasher and a disposer according to claim 4 of the present application, when the control means executes the powerful washing mode, the control content of the dishwashing mode is indicated by the powerful signal output from the first signal. It is characterized by being configured to be different from the control content when the cleaning mode is not executed.

  In this aspect, when executing the strong cleaning mode in the disposer, the control content of the dish washing mode is changed so that the disposer can be cleaned strongly, so that the cleaning effect of the disposer is further enhanced. be able to.

  In the dishwasher and disposer integrated control apparatus according to claim 5 of the present application, when the control means executes the strong washing mode, the washing water temperature during drainage in the dish washing mode is the first signal output. The control is changed so as to be higher than the temperature of the washing water at the time of draining.

  In dishwashers, hot water is used to wash dishes, but depending on the number and type of tableware stored, the temperature of the wash water may already be low when it is drained. It could be difficult to wash strongly. In addition, depending on the type of the dish washing mode selected by the user, there are cases where the washing water temperature during drainage is low, and in this case as well, the expected washing effect could not be obtained. Therefore, in this mode, when the strong cleaning mode is executed, the control is changed so that the temperature of the cleaning water is increased at the timing of draining the cleaning water, so that the user is not required to clean the disposer without being aware of anything. Since the washing water temperature is automatically maintained, the cleaning effect of the disposer can always be kept high without special consideration.

  In the dishwasher and disposer integrated control apparatus according to claim 6 of the present application, the control means executes the powerful washing mode when the number of drainage steps in the dishwashing mode and the drainage step in the dishwashing mode. The control is changed so that any one of the drainage flow rates increases more than the number of the drainage steps at the time of the first signal output or the drainage flow rate.

  In this mode, when executing the strong washing mode, the control is changed to increase the number of drainage processes of the dishwasher and the drainage flow rate for each drainage process, so the flow rate required for cleaning the disposer is ensured. Can be secured. In some cases, the amount of washing water can be increased, so that the disposer can be washed reliably and strongly.

  In the integrated control device for the dishwasher and the disposer according to claim 7 of the present application, a plurality of previous period dishwashing modes are set in advance as different control contents, and the control means is in a state where execution of the strong washing mode is selected, When it is determined that the selected dishwashing mode does not satisfy a predetermined execution condition, the execution of the strong cleaning mode is restricted.

  Depending on the dish washing mode for washing dishes, it may be assumed that the disposer cannot be washed strongly. In this mode, since the execution of the strong cleaning mode of the disposer is restricted when the execution condition is not satisfied, it is possible to surely prevent the problem that the strong cleaning of the disposer is insufficiently performed and the user is dissatisfied. Can do.

  In the integrated controller for a dishwasher and a disposer according to claim 8 of the present application, the strong cleaning mode is the high temperature cleaning mode, and the control means is selected when executing the strong cleaning mode. When the dishwashing mode does not include a heating rinsing process using high-temperature washing water heated, the execution of the strong washing mode is regulated.

  When the hot rinsing process is not performed in the selected dishwashing mode, the disposer's high temperature cleaning mode is restricted from being performed. By performing the cleaning, it is possible to reliably prevent the disposer from being cleaned in a state where the result is insufficient.

A signal output from the operation panel 20 is also input to the CPU 10 via the interface. The character information displayed on the display panel 21 is output from the CP 10 via the interface. The alarm device 104 emits sound warning information by a signal output from the CPU 10 via an interface. Further, even if the CPU 10 has some trouble and the operation of the dishwasher WM is stopped, the disposer DS is configured to be operated by the SUB CPU 11, and therefore the operating state of the disposer DS is set via the interface. The signal is transmitted to the display panel 21 and the operation panel 20. Accordingly, the character information is displayed on the display panel 21 without any problem, and the alarm device 104 can emit the warning information by voice. Therefore, the disposer DS cannot be used in conjunction with the failure of the dishwasher WM. It is possible to avoid becoming a state.

  Control signals output from the CPU 10 are connected to the fan 105, the motor 107 for driving the cleaning pump WM3, the motor 108 for driving the drainage pump WM2, the hot air heater 109, the hot water heater WM7, and the water supply valve 111 via the interface. , And the drain valve 112, each of which operates according to the output control signal.

  The water supply valve 111 opens and closes according to a control signal output from the CPU 10. When the water supply valve 111 is opened, water or hot water as cleaning water is supplied into the cleaning tank WM5 from the water supply port WM1. A water level sensor 101 is provided to detect the level of the cleaning water stored in the cleaning tank.

  A hot water heater WM2 is provided below the cleaning tank, and the cleaning water heated by the hot water heater WM2 is supplied to the cleaning pump WM3. The cleaning pump WM3 pumps the cleaning water to a fixed cleaning nozzle (not shown in the figure, the same applies hereinafter) or a rotary cleaning nozzle WM4 opened in the cleaning tank.

  Needless to say, the cleaning nozzles are arranged at various locations in the cleaning tank, and spray the cleaning water toward the tableware and the like. The rotary cleaning nozzle WM4 jets cleaning water from a lower angle to tableware or the like at a wide angle while the injection port rotates.

  In order to measure the temperature of the cleaning water heated by the hot water heater WM2, a water temperature sensor 103 is disposed in the vicinity of the hot water heater WM2. Further, a drainage pump WM2 is provided as a pump separate from the cleaning pump WM3, and a drainage valve 112 is provided in communication with the drainage pump WM2. When the drain valve 112 is opened and the drain pump WM2 is driven, water is automatically supplied to the disposer DS by draining the washing water in the washing tank from the dishwasher WM. .

  A fan 105 and a warm air heater 109 are arranged to inject warm air into the cleaning tank. The fan 105 sucks air, is sent to the warm air heater 109 side, is heated by the warm air heater 109, and then sprays into the cleaning tank to dry the dishes and the like.

  Next, the disposer side control system TC2 will be described. As described above, the disposer-side control system TC2 includes the disposer drive switch 30, the lid switch DS5, the motor DS1, the hammer DS3, and the operation lamp DS6.

  A switch TC21 (switching means) is provided between the lid switch DS5 and the disposer drive switch 30 and the signal line. The switch TC21 functions to transmit signals from the lid switch DS5 and the disposer drive switch 30 to the CPU 10 and to block transmission. The switch TC21 is a switch that can be manually switched when the dishwasher WM fails or when the dishwasher WM is replaced and the disposer DS is moved independently. The position shown in FIG. 4 is in the normal state of the dishwasher WM. The position is shown. This switch TC21 is configured as a manual switch that is switched in synchronism with switches TC22 (switching means) and TC23 (switching means) to be described later. When the switch TC21 is switched to the side opposite to the position shown in FIG. The switch DS5 and the disposer drive switch 30 are configured to be able to control the power supplied directly from the power supply line. The lid switch DS5 is provided to determine whether or not the safety lid DS2 is closed. When the safety lid DS2 is closed, the lid switch DS5 is closed and the safety lid DS2 is opened. The lid switch DS5 is opened. When the switch TC21 is in the position shown in FIG. 3, these signals are transmitted to the CPU 10 via the signal line.

  As described above, the switch TC22 and the switch TC23 are configured to be switched in synchronization with the switch TC21, and the position shown in FIG. 4 indicates the position when the dishwasher WM is in a normal state. When the switch TC22 and the switch TC23 are in the positions shown in FIG. 3, the CPU 10 controls the power supplied to the power supply line according to the signals output from the lid switch DS5 and the disposer drive switch 30, and supplies the power to the motor DS1. Supply. On the other hand, when the switch TC22 and the switch TC23 are switched to the side opposite to the position shown in FIG. 3, the power supplied from the power line is controlled by the lid switch DS5 and the disposer driving switch 30, and the lid switch DS5 and the disposer driving switch. Electric power is supplied to the motor DS1 by opening and closing 30.

  Therefore, the switch TC22 and the switch TC23 are connected so that the disposer DS can be driven independently when the dishwasher-side control system TC1 fails or when the dishwasher WM is replaced, and the dishwasher-side control system TC1 fails. In some cases, the switch TC22 and the switch TC23 are manually switched to supply power to the lid switch DS5 and the disposer drive switch 30, so that a DC circuit up to the motor DS1 is formed. The motor DS1 and the operation lamp DS6 are connected to the dishwasher-side control system TC1 via the switch TC23. When the power is supplied from the dishwasher-side control system TC1 in the normal state, the dishwasher-side control system The motor DS1 is operable by the control of TC1. When the dishwasher side control system TC1 breaks down, etc., it is configured to operate by being supplied with electric power according to the open / closed state of the lid switch DS5 and the disposer drive switch 30 in the DC circuit.

  By adopting the configuration as described above, when the disposer driving switch 30 is operated, a signal is output in parallel to the CPU 10 and the SUB CPU 11 via the signal line and the interface. When the safety lid DS2 is closed, the lid switch 31 is also closed, and a signal is output in parallel to the CPU 10 and the SUB CPU 11 via the signal line and the interface. When it is detected by the lid switch 31 that the safety lid DS2 is closed and the disposer drive switch 30 is operated, power is supplied from the CPU 10 to the motor DS1, and the motor DS1 rotates. When any trouble occurs in the CPU 10, a similar rotation instruction signal is output from the SUB CPU 11.

  As described above, the CPU 10 is provided with the SUB CPU 11 that functions as a backup CPU in order to guarantee the operation of the disposer DS to a minimum when the dishwasher WM or particularly the CPU 10 has some abnormality. Here, FIG. 5 shows an example of a correspondence pattern when an abnormality occurs. As shown in FIG. 5, the form of abnormality handling is classified into three patterns. The abnormality contents corresponding to the abnormality handling form 1 are “power supply abnormality” “no dishwasher or change” “leakage abnormality” “water leakage abnormality” “auxiliary CPU (SUB CPU) abnormality” “CPU communication abnormality” “display / alarm abnormality” "Water level detection abnormality" and "Operating system abnormality". The abnormality contents corresponding to the abnormality handling form 2 are “water supply abnormality”, “drainage abnormality”, “main CPU abnormality”, and “hot water heater abnormality”. The abnormality contents corresponding to the abnormality handling form 3 are “warm air heater abnormality” and “warm air fan abnormality”.

  In the abnormality handling mode 1, since it is difficult to continue the integrated control itself, the integrated control is stopped, and the operation with only the hardware circuit portion on the disposer DS side is ensured so that the disposer DS can be used independently. It is. This eliminates the collapsing of the dishwasher WM and the disposer DS. Specifically, as described above, the disposer-side control system TC2 can be operated independently by manually switching the switches TC21, 22 and 23, which can be said in FIG. For example, the switches TC21, 22 and 23 are operated on the left side of the figure.

  Furthermore, when the dishwasher WM is removed from the state shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the signal line is naturally disconnected from the dishwasher WM. In addition, since it is physically impossible for the power line to be supplied from the dishwasher WM, the power line of the disposer DS is inserted into a power outlet provided in the system kitchen or the like as in a general state. Needless to say, it is necessary to be able to receive power supply.

  In the case of the abnormality handling form 2, it is a form corresponding to an abnormal state in which automatic water supply cannot be received from the dishwasher WM due to an abnormality of the dishwasher WM. In this case, instead of stopping all integrated control, automatic water supply is stopped and the operation of the disposer DS is ensured by manual water supply, while the display on the display panel 21 of the dishwasher WM is performed using the SUB CPU11. In addition, the alarm device 104 is configured to be usable so as to suppress a decrease in usability.

  In the case of abnormality handling mode 3, it is a mode used in the abnormal state of the dishwasher WM that has no problem from the viewpoint of integrated control with the disposer DS, and the main CPU 10 handles the control as it is. There is no particular restriction on operation, and automatic water supply continues. In addition, the user is notified of an abnormality in the dishwasher WM through a display on the display panel 21 or an alarm from the alarm device 104. In any case, even if the dishwasher WM becomes abnormal or the dishwasher WM is replaced, the problem of collapsing that the disposer DS can no longer be used by being dragged by this is solved. Furthermore, it has been devised so as to ensure optimum usability according to the abnormal state.

  Returning to FIG. 4, the operation panel 20 is a part that receives a user's instruction input to the dishwasher WM or the disposer DS, and is used as an operation unit, a high-temperature washing mode selection unit, a first selection unit, and a second selection unit. Equivalent to. An example of the operation panel 20 and the display panel 21 is shown in FIG. The operation panel 20 is divided into a dishwasher operation zone 20a for operating the dishwasher WM and a disposer operation zone 20b for operating the disposer DS. The display panel 21 is provided in the dishwasher operation zone 20a. In this embodiment, the operation panel 20 is mounted on the dishwasher WM, but also operates the disposer DS, so that it can be placed on a kitchen counter or mounted on a wall. If it can be removed from the machine WM, it can be said that it is more convenient.

  The dishwasher operation zone 20a includes a power button 201, a start button 202, a course selection button 203, a drying selection button 204, a reservation button 205, a ventilation selection button 206, and a speaker 207. . An output signal as a result of operating each button is output to the CPU 10, and a control operation is appropriately performed by the CPU 10.

  The power button 201 is a button for turning on and off the main power of the dishwasher WM. The start button 202 is a button for starting / stopping the cleaning operation of the dishwasher WM. The course selection button 203 is a button for selecting a washing course of the dishwasher WM, and is configured to select a “standard” course, a “high power” course, and a “silent” course. .

  The drying selection button 204 is a button for selecting a drying operation of the dishwasher WM, and performs only “30 minutes” hot air blowing operation, “60 minutes” hot air blowing operation, and “fan blowing” only. An operation to be performed is selected. The reservation button 205 is a button for reserving the start of the washing operation of the dishwasher WM, and the start timing of starting the washing operation “after 2 hours” and starting the washing operation “after 6 hours” is set. It is configured so that it can be selected.

  The disposer operation zone 20b is provided with a start button 208, a course selection button 209 (interlocking mode selection means, forced mode selection means, interlocking mode operation means, forced mode operation means), and a strong cleaning selection button 210. . An output signal as a result of operating each button is output to the CPU 10, and a control operation is appropriately performed by the CPU 10.

  The start button 208 is a button for starting / stopping the crushing operation and the cleaning operation of the disposer DS. When the start button 208 is pressed, the CPU 10 operates the disposer DS in conjunction with the drainage of the dishwasher WM according to the set course, or operates according to the timing when the start button 208 is operated. To control. Details will be described later.

  The course selection button 209 is a button for selecting a disperser DS crushing / cleaning course. The course is “immediately run (automatic water supply)”, the “immediately run (manual water supply)” course, The machine-linked mode (water saving / automatic strong cleaning) course can be selected.

  When the “Immediate execution (automatic water supply)” course is selected, the operation starts in a form in which water is automatically supplied from the dishwasher WM to the disposer DS, and the disperser DS is pulverized in accordance with the timing when the start button 208 is operated. Is executed immediately. In practice, there is a delay of about 2 minutes until the disposer is operated because the washing water is accumulated in the dishwasher WM and waits for the water to drain.

  When the “immediately run (manual water supply)” course is selected, this is a so-called manual water supply mode in which the user operates the disposer DS in such a manner that water is supplied from a faucet provided in the kitchen K. This is not determined here (it goes without saying that the water supply may be determined, or that the operation may be instructed to wait for a few seconds while instructing the water supply), and the safety lid DS2 is closed. If it is confirmed, the disperser DS immediately executes the crushing process at this timing when the start button 208 is operated.

  When the “Dishwasher interlocking mode (water saving / automatic strong cleaning)” course is selected, the disposer DS does not operate at this timing when the start button 208 is operated, and is related to the progress of the dishwashing mode of the dishwasher WM. Specifically, the disposer DS crushing process and the cleaning process are executed in a manner related to the timing of the drainage so as to effectively use the drainage from the dishwasher WM. The In other words, the operation of the start button 208 is to accept the disposer DS to operate when the dishwasher WM is drained. When the start button 208 is operated, the operation of the disposer DS is reserved. It will be. The selection of each course is configured to be maintained even when the power is turned off.

  The strong washing selection button 210 is a mode of powerful automatic washing that uses the waste water from the dishwasher WM to wash the disposer DS with detergent or to perform sterilization washing with high-temperature hot water (corresponding to the high-temperature washing mode in the present invention). Is a button for selecting. Specifically, it is possible to select “strong automatic cleaning reservation”, “strong automatic cleaning execution (detergent + sterilization)”, “strong automatic cleaning (sanitization)”, and “no strong automatic cleaning”.

  "Strong automatic cleaning reservation" is performed after the completion of the crushing process when the "immediate execution (automatic water supply)" or "immediate execution (manual water supply)" course is selected in the disposer DS crushing and cleaning course. According to the progress of the cleaning operation of the dishwasher WM, it is an aspect in which the waste water from the dishwasher WM is effectively used to reserve the strong automatic cleaning, and is performed by the output of the third signal described above. This is a mode in which powerful automatic cleaning is executed at the timing.

  “Powerful automatic cleaning execution (detergent + sterilization)” is not related to the progress of the cleaning operation of the dishwasher WM, but only automatic cleaning without pulverization at this timing when the strong cleaning selection button 210 is operated. If this is selected, water is supplied to the dishwasher WM and drained to perform detergent cleaning or to disinfect after high temperature to disinfect at high temperature. This is a mode performed by outputting the third signal described above. This is a convenient mode when it is desired to automatically perform cleaning only when the disposer DS becomes dirty or smells.

  “Strong automatic cleaning (sterilization)” is not related to the progress of the cleaning operation of the dishwasher WM, but only automatic cleaning is performed without crushing at this timing when the strong cleaning selection button 210 is operated. When this is selected, hot water is supplied to the dishwasher WM, and after the temperature is further raised, drainage is performed to perform sterilization cleaning that performs only high-temperature sterilization. This is an embodiment performed by outputting the second signal. This is a convenient mode when it is desired to automatically disinfect the disposer DS.

  “Without powerful automatic cleaning” is a mode in which only pulverization and normal cleaning are performed at the time of execution of the forced mode, and powerful automatic cleaning of detergent cleaning and disinfection cleaning is not performed using the waste water of the dishwasher. This is a mode performed by outputting the first signal. Disposer with a high noise level when there is no plan to use the dishwasher WM after the disposer DS is forcibly driven, when the disposer DS is not concerned with dirt, or when the dishwasher WM is driven by a timer at midnight. This mode is assumed to be used when it is not desired to operate the DS for powerful automatic cleaning.

  Here, an operation panel 22 which is a modification of the operation panel 20 will be described with reference to FIG. 6 having the same functions as those in FIG. The operation panel 22 shown in FIG. 7 is divided into a dishwasher operation zone 20a for operating the dishwasher WM and a disposer operation zone 22b for operating the disposer DS. The display panel 21 is provided in the dishwasher operation zone 20a.

  The dishwasher operation zone 20a includes a power button 201, a start button 202, a course selection button 203, a drying selection button 204, a reservation button 205, a ventilation selection button 206, and a speaker 207. . An output signal as a result of operating each button is output to the CPU 10, and a control operation is appropriately performed by the CPU 10. The function of each button provided in the dishwasher operation zone 20a is the same as that shown in FIG.

  The disposer operation zone 22b is provided with a pulverization start button 221, a pulverization course selection button 222, a strong cleaning course selection button 223, and a strong automatic cleaning start button 224. An output signal as a result of operating each button is output to the CPU 10, and a control operation is appropriately performed by the CPU 10. The difference between the operation panel 20 described with reference to FIG. 6 and the operation panel 22 shown in FIG. 7 is that the left side in the mode area diagram of the pulverization system that causes the disposer DS to pulverize the soot and the disposer DS are pulverized. The right side of the mode area diagram of the cleaning system that performs only cleaning without separation is separated to further improve usability.

  The crushing start button 221 in the crushing mode area is a button for operating the disposer DS in the forced mode. When the crush start button 221 is pressed, the CPU 10 controls the operation of the disposer DS according to the course set by the crush course selection button 222.

  The crushing course selection button 222 is a button for selecting the crushing course of the disposer DS, and can select the “immediate execution (automatic water supply)” course and the “immediate execution (manual water supply)” course. It is configured.

  The detailed contents of the strong washing course selection button 223 are the same as those in FIG. 6. To put it simply, if “strong automatic washing reservation” is selected and the strong automatic washing start button 224 is operated, the dishwasher At the timing when the WM is operated after this operation, the disposer is cleaned and disinfected by the main cleaning waste water and the hot rinse waste water. “Powerful automatic cleaning execution (detergent + sterilization)” starts the automatic cleaning without crushing at the timing when the strong cleaning course selection button 223 is operated and the strong automatic cleaning start button 224 is operated. The dishwasher WM is supplied with water and drained to perform detergent cleaning or drainage after high temperature to perform sterilization cleaning. “Powerful automatic cleaning (sterilization)” is substantially the same as “Powerful automatic cleaning execution (detergent + sterilization)”. After washing water is heated without washing with detergent, it is drained immediately. Is what you do. “No powerful automatic cleaning” is selected when it is not desired to perform strong automatic cleaning.

  The powerful automatic cleaning start button 224 is a button for starting / stopping the cleaning operation of the disposer DS and holding the operation of the disposer DS so that the cleaning operation is performed when the dishwasher WM is drained as described above. When the strong automatic cleaning start button 224 is pressed, the CPU 10 controls the operation of the disposer DS according to the set course.

  Next, a control pattern of the integrated control device TC according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a control pattern of the integrated control device TC.

  First, it is determined whether an operation in the interlock mode has been performed by the user's operation on the operation panel 20 (step S01). If there is a linked mode start operation, the process proceeds to step S02, and if there is no linked mode operation, the process proceeds to step S03 to determine whether there is a forced mode operation.

  In step S02, it is determined whether or not the operation timing of the user is at a timing at which the waste water in the main washing process of the dishwasher WM can be supplied to the disposer DS, and the execution of the interlock mode can be accepted to shift to the interlock mode It is judged whether it is in. The state in which the waste water in the main washing process can be supplied to the disposer DS means that the dishwasher WM is not in operation, the operation of the dishwasher WM is reserved, and the dishwasher WM is not yet operating. This is a stage waiting for the start of the reservation time, when the operation of the dishwasher WM has started, but is in a stage before draining is performed before the end of the main cleaning. If the main cleaning wastewater of the dishwasher WM can be supplied to the disposer DS, the operation in the interlock mode is accepted, and the process proceeds to step S21. If the main cleaning wastewater of the dishwasher WM cannot be supplied to the disposer DS, the operation is interlocked. The acceptance of the mode operation is canceled, and the interlock mode is not executed and the process returns. At that time, it is desirable to take measures such as notifying that the acceptance has been canceled.

  In the description from step S21 to step S27 to be described subsequently, in order to show the relationship between the operation of the dishwasher WM and the operation of the disposer DS, description will be made with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the relationship between the operation of the dishwasher WM and the operation of the disposer DS. As shown in FIG. 9, the operation of the dishwasher WM in the dishwashing mode is classified into “outside dishwasher operation”, “reserving dishwasher”, “prewashing”, “drainage / water supply (2.2 L)”, “ "Main cleaning" "Drainage / water supply (3L)" "Rinse 1" "Drainage / water supply (2.2L)" "Rinse 2" "Drainage / water supply (2.2L)" "Heating rinse" "Drainage (3L)" It is divided into each process of “drying”.

  In step S21, the drainage pump WM2 is rotated at high speed to drain (3L) in accordance with the end of the main cleaning process of the dishwasher WM. Since it is necessary to ensure a large amount of water for pulverization, the drainage pump is rotated at a high speed to ensure the necessary amount of water. If 3 L of water is discharged, the pulverization process can be completed. In accordance with this timing, the information is notified using the display panel 21 or the alarm device 104 in order to notify the user that the detergent is being washed. Subsequently, the disperser DS is driven at a high speed after the time T1 until the water is surely supplied to the disposer DS so as not to idle in a state where the water of the disposer DS is not supplied. It has become. Thereafter, after the pulverization is completed and a predetermined time has elapsed for the drainage 3L to end, the driving of the drainage pump WM2 and the disposer DS is stopped. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S22.

  In step S22, it is determined whether or not it is the timing of drainage in one rinsing process of the dishwasher WM. In this case, if the draining timing of the rinsing 1 is reached, the cleaning water is drained, and at the same time, the cleaning water is supplied to the disposer DS to wait for the cleaning. If it is the draining timing in the first rinsing step, the flow returns to step S23 without draining unless the draining timing is in the first rinsing step of the dishwasher WM.

  In step S23, in accordance with the end of one rinsing process of the dishwasher WM, the drainage pump WM2 is rotated at a middle speed for drainage (2.2 L). The reason why the drainage pump WM2 is rotated at medium rotation is to increase the cleaning effect of the disposer DS even if the amount of drainage is as small as 2.2L. Specifically, if the drainage is drained at high rotation, it is stored in the dishwasher WM. The drainage pump WM2 is rotated in order to increase the cleaning effect by increasing the contact time because the drainage 2.2L that has been used up will soon be lost and the cleaning water will be in contact with the interior of the disposer DM. The amount of water and the contact time are reduced to some extent so as to be optimal. Stop the drain pump after a predetermined time has elapsed to complete all 2.2L drainage. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S24.

  In step S24, it is determined whether it is the timing of drainage in the two rinsing steps of the dishwasher WM. In this case, when the draining timing of the rinsing 2 is reached, the cleaning water is drained and at the same time, the cleaning water is supplied to the disposer DS to wait for the timing. If it is the draining timing in the second rinsing process, the process returns to step S25 without draining if it is not the draining timing in the second rinsing process of the dishwasher WM.

  In step S25, in accordance with the end of the two rinsing steps of the dishwasher WM, the drain pump WM2 is rotated at a medium speed to drain (2.2L), and the drain pump is stopped after a predetermined time has elapsed, thereby disposing the disposer DS. Washed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S26. The detailed reason is the same as that in step S23.

  In step S26, it is determined whether or not it is the timing of drainage in the heating and rinsing process of the dishwasher WM. If it is the timing of drainage in the heating and rinsing process, the drainage in the heating and rinsing process of the dishwasher WM is executed in step S27, and if it is not the timing of drainage in the heating and rinsing process of the dishwasher WM, the process returns.

  If it is the draining timing of the heating and rinsing process, the process is executed in step S27, and the disinfectant DS executes sterilization cleaning. Specifically, the drainage pump WM2 is rotated at a high speed to drain (3 L) at the end of the heating and rinsing process of the dishwasher WM. This is because when a small amount of water is supplied to the disposer DS, it is cooled immediately and cannot be sterilized at a high temperature. Even if the drainage pump WM2 is turned early, the amount of water is as large as 3L, so that the time for high temperature sterilization can be secured for a long time. In accordance with this timing, the information is notified using the display panel 21 or the alarm device 104 in order to notify the user that the high-temperature cleaning is being performed. After the time T1 when the wastewater is actually supplied to the disposer DS, the disposer DS is driven at medium rotation to execute the sterilization cleaning process. This is because the disposer DS is not driven because the cleaning in the previous steps 23 and 24 is only to wash away the crushed soot, but in the high temperature disinfection cleaning process, the hot cleaning water is stirred into the disposer DS. Disposer DS is driven at medium rotation so that it can be sterilized evenly by being scattered throughout. Thereafter, after a predetermined time set as the time for completing the drainage has elapsed, the driving of the drainage pump WM2 and the disposer DS is stopped.

  Subsequently, the description after step S03 will be given. After step S03, the forced mode is described. In the description subsequent to step S03, the description will be given with reference to FIG. 6 as well, in order to show the relationship between the operation of the dishwashing mode of the dishwasher WM and the operation of the disposer DS. Also, in the following description, the same expression serves the same function, and the purpose and reason for the control are the same. Omitted for simplicity.

  In step S03, it is determined whether or not the condition of control 1 (see FIG. 9) is satisfied. If the condition for control 1 is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S04. If the condition for control 1 is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S31. The condition of the control 1 is when the timing at which the operation panel 20 is operated corresponds to “out of dishwasher operation” “during dishwasher reservation” in the operation process of the dishwasher WM.

  In step S31, since the state of the dishwasher WM that has come to this step is not in operation, no washing water is accumulated in the washing tank, so that the water level becomes high to secure 3 L of washing water necessary for pulverizing the disposer DS. When the water level reaches a high water level, the drainage pump WM2 is rotated at a high speed to drain the water. After the time T1 when water is actually supplied to the disposer DS, the disperser DS is driven at a high speed to execute the pulverization step. Thereafter, when a predetermined time set as the time for draining elapses, the driving of the drain pump WM2 and the disposer DS is stopped. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S32.

  The subsequent step S32 is a step of performing the first cleaning of the disposer DS. Water is supplied again to the washing tank of the dishwasher WM until the water level becomes high, and when the water level becomes high, the drainage pump WM2 is rotated at a middle speed to drain water, and the disposer DS is washed. Thereafter, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the driving of the drain pump WM2 is stopped. The details are the same as in the previous step S23. The difference from this step S23 is that the amount of drainage is 3L. This is because the interlock mode receives a total of three times of drainage of the rinse 1, drainage of the rinse 2, and drainage of the heat rinse depending on the circumstances of the dishwashing mode of the dishwasher WM. In order to secure 6L, the waste water is not rinsed and drained by the 1 drainage. In the forced mode, the amount of water required for washing is secured while the wasteful electricity bill is not used. In order to complete the washing twice, the waste water for washing is set to 3 L at a high water level, and this is combined with the subsequent step S33, and the washing is performed twice with a total amount of water of 6 L. The reason why the washing is performed twice is that the amount of water stored in the dishwasher WM is 3 L at a time.

  Step S33 is the second cleaning, and the description thereof is omitted because it is described above.

  In step S04, it is determined whether or not the condition of control 2 (see FIG. 9) is satisfied. If the condition of control 2 is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S05. If the condition of control 2 is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S41. The condition of the control 2 is that the operation timing of the operation panel 20 is that the dishwasher WM is operating in the dishwashing mode, and the operation process is “prewash”, “rinse 1”, and “rinse 2”. Is the case.

  Step S41 is a step for executing the pulverization process in the forced mode, and the operation of the disposer DS is performed so that the disperser DS is immediately pulverized so that the user's needs for pulverizing the soot immediately can be met. Is interrupted so that priority is given to the operation of the dishwasher WM in the dishwashing mode. For this purpose, first, the operation of the dishwasher WM is temporarily suspended. Subsequently, since the state of the operation process of the dishwasher WM is the state in which the cleaning water in the cleaning tank has already accumulated, control is performed so that the pulverization process is performed using this cleaning water. Therefore, the drainage pump WM2 is rotated at a high speed to forcibly drain the cleaning water in the cleaning tank and supply it to the disposer DS. When the washing water in the washing tank is at a low water level (in rinsing 1 and rinsing 2, the water level is 2.2 L, and the amount of water may vary depending on the type of dish washing mode). The amount of water 3L required for pulverization is reliably ensured by supplying and draining the shortage once until the water level is reached. When drainage is started, the disperser DS is driven at a high rotation speed after waiting for a time T1 when water is actually supplied, and the pulverization process is executed. Thereafter, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the driving of the drain pump WM2 and the disposer DS is stopped. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S42.

  Step S42 is the first cleaning. Water is supplied to the washing tank of the dishwasher WM until the water level becomes high, and when the water level becomes high, the drainage pump WM2 is rotated at a middle speed to drain the water, and the disposer DS is washed. Thereafter, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the driving of the drain pump WM2 is stopped. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S43.

  Step S43 is the second cleaning. Water is supplied to the washing tank of the dishwasher WM until the water level becomes high, and when the water level becomes high, the drainage pump WM2 is rotated at a middle speed to drain the water, and the disposer DS is washed. Thereafter, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the driving of the drain pump WM2 is stopped. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S44.

  Step S44 is a step of restarting the operation of the dishwasher WM that has been temporarily suspended because the execution of the forced mode of the disposer DS has been completed. Water is supplied to the washing tank of the dishwasher WM to re-secure the washing water that has been drained to be supplied to the disposer DS, and the operation is resumed when the operation of the dishwasher WM2 is interrupted. There are various ways of restarting, and it can be said that it is desirable to restart from the beginning of the interrupted process or to restart the process time by adding a little time. This is because it may be possible that the dirt is solidified by interruption.

  In step S05, it is determined whether or not the condition of control 3 (see FIG. 9) is satisfied. If the condition for control 3 is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S06. If the condition for control 3 is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S51. The condition of the control 3 is the timing when the operation panel 20 is operated when the operation process of the dishwasher WM is exactly at the timing of drainage. Control 3 is determined to be in the state of being drained immediately before draining.

  In step S51, as in step S41, first, the operation of the dishwasher WM is temporarily suspended in order to prioritize the operation of the disposer DS. Thereafter, the drainage pump WM2 of the dishwasher WM is rotated at a high speed to drain water, and the cleaning water in the cleaning tank is drained. If the cleaning water in the cleaning tank is at a low water level, or if drainage has already started and the cleaning water has decreased, the water is once supplied until the water level becomes high and then drained. After the time T1 has elapsed, the disperser DS is driven at a high speed to execute the pulverization step. Thereafter, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the driving of the drain pump WM2 and the disposer DS is stopped. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S52.

  In order to execute the first washing in step S52, water is supplied to the washing tank of the dishwasher WM until it reaches a high water level, and when the water level becomes high, the drainage pump WM2 is rotated at a middle rotation to drain the water. Clean the DS. Thereafter, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the driving of the drain pump WM2 is stopped. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S53.

  In order to execute the second washing in step S53, water is supplied to the washing tank of the dishwasher WM until the water level becomes high, and when the water level becomes high, the drainage pump WM2 is rotated at a medium speed to drain the water. Clean the DS. Thereafter, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the driving of the drain pump WM2 is stopped. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S54.

  In step S54, the operation of the dishwasher WM that has been temporarily suspended is resumed. Since the state is interrupted at the drainage timing, the restart in the control 3 is such that the interrupted drainage process is simply skipped.

  In step S06, it is determined whether or not the condition of control 4 (see FIG. 9) is satisfied. If the condition of control 4 is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S07. If the condition of control 4 is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S61. The condition of the control 4 is when the timing at which the operation panel 20 is operated corresponds to “main cleaning” and “heated rinsing” in the operation process of the dishwasher WM. This control 4 is a process with a different purpose from the past, and even if the user wants to operate the disposer DS immediately, it is a state mode in which the disposer DS is not operated immediately. It is. Specifically, if the cleaning water containing the main cleaning detergent is drained in the middle of the cleaning process, it is necessary to supply the detergent again at the time of restart, and in the heating rinsing process, the cleaning is raised to almost 80 degrees. If the water is drained halfway, a wasteful state occurs where the cleaning water is heated again by re-energizing at the time of restart, so there is a possibility that it will be a disadvantage for the user by executing the forced mode immediately. It is.

  Therefore, in step S61, an automatic water supply impossible alarm is issued to notify that automatic water supply cannot be performed. Thereafter, an option of whether to perform manual water supply or wait for a short time until the end of the current process is displayed on the display unit 21, and control is performed so that the user's request is clearly confirmed. In this way, consideration is given to avoiding disadvantages for the user.

  In step S62, it is determined whether or not the user has selected manual water supply. If it is selected not to select the manual water supply and wait until the end of the cleaning process, the situation is the same as in the case of the control 3, so the process proceeds to step S51. On the other hand, if manual water supply is selected, the process proceeds to step S63. In any case, in the present invention, the washing water currently stored in the washing tank is set so as not to be drained halfway, and the automatic water supply function is killed and the manual watering is performed. It goes without saying that you can choose to do it if you want.

  Step S63 is a step in which the water supply to the disposer DS is relied on manually without automatic water supply from the dishwasher WM. Therefore, the operation of the dishwasher WM is continued to notify the user of manual water supply. Thereafter, in this step, since the hot water heater WM7 is energized, the disperser DS is driven at a high rotation speed while the energization to the hot water heater WM7 is temporarily stopped. This is due to the fact that a large current exceeding 1000 watts flows by operating both the hot water heater WM7 and the motor of the disposer DS. With this control, construction can be made much easier. Specifically, since a large current flows in each of them, it was necessary to ensure that both the disposer DS and the dishwasher WM had independent power supplies, but with this control, the power supply to the disposer DS was This is because the cleaning can be performed from the washing machine WM side, so that even if only one power source is secured, the attachment is possible. After that, after a predetermined time has passed as in the other steps, the driving of the disposer DS is stopped. After stopping the operation of the disposer DS, the energization of the hot water heater WM7 is resumed, and the cleaning process time of the dishwasher WM is extended by 1 minute. This is a measure for ensuring a reduction in the cleaning power due to temporarily stopping the power supply of the hot water heater WM7. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S64.

  In step S64, a notification is displayed to stop the manual water supply when a predetermined time (about 1 minute) has elapsed in which all the process times of the pulverizing process and the cleaning process are completed. And sound.

  In step S07, it is determined whether or not the condition of control 5 (see FIG. 9) is satisfied. If the condition for control 5 is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S08. If the condition for control 5 is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S71. The condition of the control 5 is the timing when the operation panel 20 is operated when the operation process of the dishwasher WM is the “drying process”. What is considered when the disposer DS is executed in the forced mode during the drying process is to temporarily stop the hot air heater 109 for drying. The reason for this is the same as the reason for temporarily stopping the hot water heater WM7 in step S63.

  When executing the pulverization process in the drying process in step S71, water is not supplied to the washing tank of the dishwasher WM, so water is supplied until the water level becomes high, and when the water level becomes high, the drain pump WM2 is rotated at a high speed. Rotate with to drain. At this time, while the rotation of the drying fan 105 with low power consumption is continued, the energization to the warm air heater 109 is stopped. In this state, like the other steps, the disperser DS is driven at a high speed after the lapse of a predetermined time T1, and the pulverization process is executed. Thereafter, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the driving of the drain pump WM2 and the disposer DS is stopped. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S72.

  Next, in step S72, energization of the warm air heater 109 is resumed after the time T1 when the motor of the disposer DS is reliably stopped. Thereafter, water is supplied again to the washing tank of the dishwasher WM until the water level becomes high, and when the water level becomes high, the drainage pump WM2 is rotated at a middle speed to drain water, and the disposer DS is washed. Thereafter, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the driving of the drain pump WM2 is stopped. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S73.

  In step S73, the water is supplied again to the washing tank of the dishwasher WM until the water level becomes high, and when the water level becomes high, the drainage pump WM2 is rotated at a middle speed to drain the water, thereby cleaning the disposer DS. Thereafter, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the driving of the drain pump WM2 is stopped. Furthermore, the time of the “drying” process of the dishwasher WM is extended by 15 minutes. Specifically, the rotation of the fan 105 is extended by 15 minutes, and the energization to the hot air heater 109 is extended by 5 minutes. This is to ensure the drying effect caused by stopping the hot air heater 109 and supplying the cleaning water three times for supplying the disposer DS in the cleaning tank during the drying process. Specifically, it takes into consideration that evaporation occurs due to the supply of cleaning water into the cleaning tank that is at a high temperature, and the humidity in the cleaning tank increases and the dry state deteriorates. For this reason, the time significantly longer than the time when the hot air heater 109 is stopped (about 20 seconds corresponding to the pulverization process time) is extended. Thus, it is possible to avoid causing the user to be dissatisfied with poor drying.

  In step S08, it is determined whether an instruction to perform manual water supply has been input. If it has been input, the process proceeds to step S81, and if not, the process returns. If it is manual water supply, since the waste_water | drain of the dishwasher WM is unnecessary, a complicated control aspect is unnecessary and only the following things are performed.

  In step S81, it is determined whether the hot water heater WM7 of the dishwasher WM is energized. If the hot water heater WM7 is energized, the process proceeds to step S82. If the hot water heater WM7 is not energized, the process proceeds to step S83.

  In step S82, since the dishwasher WM is in an operating state, the control is continued, and energization of the hot water heater WM7 is stopped. The reason is the same as in step S63. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S83.

  In step S83, the display unit 21 is notified to perform manual water supply. After the notification, it is determined whether the operation start operation (start of the disposer DS) by the operation panel 20 has been performed again. When the operation start operation is received again, the disposer is performed if one second has passed since the energization of the hot water heater WM7. The DS is driven at a high speed to execute the grinding process. If 1 second has not elapsed, the disposer DS is driven after waiting for 1 second that the energization of the hot water heater WM7 will surely be completed. Then, after a predetermined time for completing the pulverization, the disposer DS is stopped. The energization of the hot water heater WM7 is resumed after 1 second from the stop of the disposer DS, and the operation time of the dishwasher WM is extended by 1 minute. The reason is the same as S63. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S84. In step S84, since all the processes of pulverizing and cleaning the disposer DS are completed, a process of notifying that manual water supply is stopped is executed.

  Next, a modification shown in FIG. 10 will be described. The difference from the mode of FIG. 9 is that the condition that allows the transition to the interlocking mode of FIG. 8 corresponding to FIG. 9 is not possible unless the operation panel 20 is operated by the end of the main cleaning process of the dishwasher WM in step S02. In contrast to this, FIG. 10 is different in that it is possible to shift to the interlock mode regardless of the state of the process of the dishwasher WM. I want to do this because the operation of the dishwasher WM and disposer DS is very close to the timing of cooking, but the time of both of them depends on the cooking method and meal timing of the user. Because there is a shift in the near time, in order to further improve the usability, it is possible to switch to the interlock mode at any time, and the water used only for the disposer DS by using the drainage of the dishwasher WM as much as possible. It can be eliminated. Therefore, since the frequency | count of the drainage process of the tableware washing machine WM decreases so that it goes to Mode 1-Mode 7, the water used only for the disposer DS is increasing.

  Hereinafter, a description will be given with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 10, even if the state of the dishwasher WM is in any state, it is possible to shift to the interlock mode if the interlock mode is selected by the operation panel 20. 10 will be specifically described below, but the description of the same parts as those in FIG. 9 will be omitted. Therefore, since the embodiment exactly the same as that in FIG. 9 corresponds to the dishwasher interlocking mode 1 in this embodiment, description of this mode 1 is omitted.

  The dishwasher interlocking mode 2 shown in FIG. 10 shows a case where the operation panel 20 is operated from the end of the main cleaning process to the end of the first rinsing process. Therefore, in the dishwasher interlocking mode 2, the waste water from the first washing step of the dishwasher WM can be used. In this mode, the pulverization process is executed with the waste water of the rinse 1, the first washing is executed with the waste water of the two rinsing processes, and the sterilization washing process is executed together with the second washing with the waste water of the heat rinsing process. Similarly, the operation of draining the dishwasher WM, the operation of the motor of the disposer DS, and the like are the same as those in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 8 and FIG.

  Tableware washing mode 3 shown in FIG. 10 shows a case where the operation panel 20 is operated from the end of the first rinsing process to the end of the second rinsing process. Therefore, in the dishwasher interlocking mode 3, the wastewater after the second rinsing process of the dishwasher WM can be used. The grinding process is carried out with the drainage of the rinse 2.

  However, after rinsing 2, the dishwashing mode of the dishwasher WM is only the heating rinsing process, but the rinsing process is neat because the rinsing process is desired in the heating rinsing process. In the mode 3, the disposer DS is devised so as to wash the disposer DS by performing 2.2 L of supplemental water before draining in the heat rinsing step. Thereafter, in order to disinfect the pulverizing chamber of the disposer DS that has been cleaned, the disinfecting and washing step is executed while the disposer DS is driven at a middle speed by the waste water from the heating and rinsing step of the dishwasher WM.

  The tableware washing mode 4 shown in FIG. 10 shows a case where the operation panel 20 is operated from the end of the rinsing 2 process to the end of the heating rinsing process. Therefore, in the dishwasher interlocking mode 4, only the waste water from the heating and rinsing process of the dishwasher WM can be used. For this reason, the pulverization process is executed with the waste water of the heat rinsing process.

  The tableware washing mode 5 shown in FIG. 10 shows a case where the operation panel 20 is operated from the end of the heating and rinsing process to the end of the drying process. In the dishwasher interlocking mode 5, since the operation stage of the dishwasher WM accompanied by drainage has already been completed, the same process as the above-described dishwasher interlocking mode 1 is performed. As described above, it is very effective in terms of water saving because it uses the waste water of the dishwasher WM even once. However, since the waste water of the main washing containing the detergent cannot be used after Mode 2, the washing in the grinding process It is inevitable that the effect is reduced and mode 4 cannot be sterilized and washed.

  In the integrated control device TC according to the present embodiment, processing for restricting the operation of the disposer DS is also performed. This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a flowchart regarding processing for regulating the operation of the disposer DS.

  In step S91, it is determined whether an instruction to operate the disposer DS is accepted. If support for operating the disposer DS has not been received, the process returns. If it has been received, the process proceeds to step S92.

  In step S92, it is determined whether or not the disposer DS is in an operable state. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the safety lid DS2 is attached to the disposer DS and there is no problem in performing the pulverization process and the cleaning process. If the disposer DS is in an operable state, the process returns. If not, the process proceeds to step S93.

  In step S93, if the disposer DS is already in operation even though the disposer DS is not in an operable state, a stop process is immediately performed. This is a state as if the safety lid DS2 was opened during operation. If the disposer DS is not in the operating state, a process for issuing an alarm for a predetermined period so as to close the safety lid DS2 is performed. If it is not possible to operate even if a warning is issued for a predetermined period, the user does not intentionally close the safety lid DS2, or the user is not in the kitchen already, and it is useless even if the alarm is continued, sleep, etc. Therefore, the alarm is terminated, and since the disposer DS is not ready for driving, the interlock mode control of the disposer DS is canceled. In this case, the dishwasher WM continues the normal operation and enters an operation state in which the dishes are washed, but the disposer DS is not driven at the drainage timing. Here, when the safety lid DS2 is opened during the operation of the dishwasher WM, the dishwasher WM continues without being stopped while performing an alarm, but the drainage of the dishwasher WM is continued. At the timing, the drainage is stopped to be suspended for a certain period. This is a state in which the user wants to operate the disposer DS using the waste water of the dishwasher WM in the interlock mode, and is currently in a state where he / she is additionally throwing in the disposer DS. In order to be considered, it waits for drainage only for a certain period, in fact, for the period during which an alarm is given. If the safety lid DS2 is closed within this period, drainage is performed and the interlock mode is executed. However, since the dishwasher WM cannot be stopped for a long time after the period, the safety lid DS2 is not closed. It is determined that the closing operation of the safety lid DS2 has been forgotten, the drainage is executed, and the operation of the dishwasher WM is resumed. Since the disposer DS is not in an operable state, it is not operated. In this step, after confirming the pulverization, the pulverization process is performed if necessary.

  Next, a mode of confirming with the user when executing the crushing step will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13. FIG. 12 shows a flowchart in the case where a strong automatic cleaning reservation is made, and FIG. 13 shows a flowchart in a case where it is desired to perform only the cleaning immediately instead of the strong automatic cleaning reservation.

  In the flow shown in FIG. 12, it is first determined whether or not a signal for instructing execution of the automatic cleaning reservation mode is input. If a signal for instructing execution of the automatic cleaning reservation mode is not input, the processing is terminated and automatic cleaning reservation is performed. If a signal instructing execution of the mode is input, the process proceeds to step S122 (step S121).

  In step S122, it is determined whether the automatic cleaning reservation mode has been received after the main cleaning of the dishwasher WM. If the automatic washing reservation mode is accepted after the main washing drainage of the dishwasher WM, a notification is made that automatic washing is performed in conjunction with the next operation of the dishwasher WM (step S123). On the other hand, if the automatic washing reservation mode is accepted before the main washing drainage of the dishwasher WM, the presence / absence of the heating and rinsing process in the dishwasher WM is confirmed (step S124). In step S124, it is also preferable to check whether or not the high temperature cleaning mode is executed.

  If the dishwasher WM does not include the heat rinsing process, in order to disinfect and clean the disposer DS, the heat rinsing process is incorporated and the user is informed that the heat rinsing process has been incorporated, and the process proceeds to step S126. . If it is confirmed that the heat rinsing process is incorporated in the dishwasher WM, it is confirmed in the disposer DS whether the pulverization process and the normal cleaning process are completed (step S126).

  If the disperser DS has not completed the pulverization process and the normal cleaning process, a notification for confirming the execution of the pulverization process and the normal cleaning process is given to the user (step S127). When the user inputs information instructing execution of the pulverization process and the normal cleaning process, the pulverization process and the normal cleaning process are executed in accordance with the waste water for the main cleaning. It is also preferable to immediately execute the pulverization step and the normal washing step.

  When the disperser DS has completed the pulverization process and the normal cleaning process, the presence / absence of main cleaning wastewater is determined (step S128). If there is a main cleaning waste water, the detergent cleaning process of the disposer DS is executed using the waste water (step S130). In this case, the amount of drainage of the dishwasher WM is maintained at a medium level, and the driving speed of the disposer DS is controlled at a medium level. In addition, the user is notified that the detergent is being cleaned.

  If there is no main cleaning waste water, it is determined whether or not there is rinsing waste water (step S129). If there is rinsing waste water, the normal washing process is executed using the waste water (step S131). In this case, the amount of drainage of the dishwasher WM is maintained at a medium level, and the disposer DS is controlled to be stopped. In addition, the user is notified that the detergent is being cleaned.

  If there is no rinsing waste water, the presence / absence of heated rinsing waste water is determined (step S132). If there is heated rinse wastewater, sterilization washing is performed using the wastewater (step S133). In this case, the amount of drainage of the dishwasher WM is maintained at a medium level, and the driving speed of the disposer DS is controlled at a medium level. In addition, the user is informed that sterilization cleaning is performed with high-temperature cleaning water, and when the cleaning is completed, the cleaning completion is notified.

  In the flow shown in FIG. 13, first, it is determined whether or not a signal for instructing execution of cleaning of the disposer DS has been input. If a signal for instructing execution of cleaning of the disposer DS has not been input, the processing is terminated and execution of cleaning of the disposer DS is performed. If a signal instructing is input, the process proceeds to step S142 (step S141).

  In step S142, it is determined whether the dishwasher WM is in operation. If the dishwasher WM is in operation, the user is informed that strong cleaning is to be performed after the operation of the dishwasher WM is completed, and execution of the strong cleaning is suspended (step S143). However, as long as it is before the main washing drainage of the dishwasher WM, it may be accepted. On the other hand, if the dishwasher WM is not in operation, it is confirmed whether the pulverization process and the normal cleaning are completed (step S144). If the pulverization process and the normal cleaning are not completed, a notification for confirming the execution of the pulverization process and the normal cleaning process is given to the user (step S145). When the user inputs information instructing execution of the pulverization process and the normal cleaning process, the pulverization process and the normal cleaning process are executed in accordance with the waste water for the main cleaning.

  If the pulverization process and the normal cleaning are completed, it is determined whether the high temperature sterilization mode has been set (step S146). If the high temperature sterilization mode has been set, a notification is given to put the detergent into the dishwasher WM, and water is supplied to the washing tank of the dishwasher WM to a high water level. Thereafter, when the water level becomes high, the drainage pump is driven at a medium speed to drain the water. The user is notified that the disposer DS is being cleaned with detergent. After the time T1 has elapsed, the disposer DS is driven at medium rotation. After the predetermined time has elapsed, the driving of the drain pump and the disposer DS of the dishwasher WM is stopped, and the process proceeds to step S148 (step S147).

  After the process of step S147 is completed, and when the high temperature sterilization mode is not set, water is supplied to the washing tank of the dishwasher WM to a high water level and heated to 80 ° C. with a hot water heater. After the heating is completed, the drainage pump is driven at medium rotation to drain the water. The user is notified that the disposer DS is being disinfected at high temperature. After the time T1 has elapsed, the disposer DS is driven at medium rotation. After the predetermined time has elapsed, the driving of the drain pump and the disposer DS of the dishwasher WM is stopped (step S148).
