Abstract

본 발명은 세척시 분사되는 세척수가 튜브(Tub) 내면에 부딪힐때 발생하는 소리의 크기를 감지하여 식기량을 판단하는 식기 세척기의 식기량 감기 장치 및 방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 발명에 따른 식기 세척기의 식기량 감지장치는 제어신호에 의해 세척수를 분사시키는 세척구동수단, 상기세척수에 의해 발생되는 음향을 감지하는 감지수단, 상기 음향의 크기에 해당하는 식기량을 판별하고, 세척시스템을 제어하는 마이콤, 상기 마이콤의 판별신호를 받아 다단계로 식기량을 표시하는 표시수단, 상기 마이콤에 식기량 감지모드를 입력하고, 복수의 세척모드를 입력하는 키 입력수단, 상기 마이콤에 전원을 공급하는 전원수단을 포함하여 이루어지며, 식기 세척기의 식기량 감지방법은 세척수 분사에 의해 발생하는 음향을 감지하는 음향감지단계, 상기 음향을 크기별로 나누어 다단계의 식기량을 판별하는 판별단계를 포함하여 이루어짐을 특징으로 한다.An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for reducing the amount of food in a dishwasher by detecting the amount of sound generated when the washing water sprayed during washing hits the inner surface of the tube. The apparatus for sensing the amount of food in a dishwasher according to the present invention includes a washing driving means for injecting washing water by a control signal, a sensing means for sensing sound generated by the washing water, a food amount corresponding to the size of the sound, A display means for displaying a food amount in a multi-step by receiving the discrimination signal of the microcomputer, a key input means for inputting a food amount sensing mode to the microcomputer, a plurality of washing mode input means, The method for sensing the amount of food in the dishwasher includes an acoustic sensing step for sensing sound generated by the injection of the washing water and a discriminating step for discriminating the multi-stage heating capacity by dividing the sound by the size .

따라서 세척시에 곧 바로 식기량을 판별할 수 있기 때문에 식기의 량에 따라 세척, 헹굼과 건조시간이 자동으로 설정될 수 있고, 전체적인 세척시간을 단축시킬 수 있으며, 소비전력이 절감되는 효과가 있다.Therefore, since the amount of food can be determined immediately upon washing, the washing, rinsing and drying time can be automatically set according to the amount of the tableware, the entire washing time can be shortened, and the power consumption can be reduced .
