That is, the control method of the embodiment of the present invention can be implemented by the dishwasher 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, wherein steps S151, S152, S153, and S154 can be implemented by the processor 150.

The control method of the dishwasher 100 and the dishwasher 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention control the fan 120 and the heating device 170 according to whether or not the brightness of the bright disk and the working chamber 111 is input, thereby reducing the water vapor of the working chamber 111. content.

Referring to FIG. 1 again, step S151 of the embodiment of the present invention is performed after step S152. It can be understood that, in other embodiments, step S151 may also be performed before step S152, which is not specifically limited herein.

In some embodiments, due to space limitations of the working chamber 111, such as the working chamber 111 being small, the humidity detecting unit 140 cannot be directly installed in the working chamber 111, and therefore, the humidity detecting unit 140 can be installed in the air duct. In 112, the humidity in the air duct 112 is detected by the humidity detecting unit 140. The working chamber 111 refers to a component in the dishwasher 100 for placing dishes and washing dishes, also referred to as a liner. In some embodiments, the humidity within the air duct 112 can be considered as the humidity of the working chamber 111.

In some embodiments, the humidity detecting unit 140 may be directly disposed in the working chamber 111 to accurately acquire the humidity of the working chamber 111, which is not specifically limited herein.

In some embodiments, the fan 120 may be disposed within the dishwasher 100 or outside the dishwasher 100, which is not specifically limited herein. In one embodiment, the fan 120 and the heating device 170 are disposed adjacent to each other such that the fan 120 can blow thermal energy generated by the operation of the heating device 170 toward the working chamber 111.

In some embodiments, the end of washing of the dishwasher 100 means that the dishwasher 100 has finished the washing process. The washing process generally includes several procedures of pre-washing, main washing, rinsing, and drying, and the washing of the dishwasher 100 is generally Means that the drying process has ended. Steps S151, S152, S153, and S154 of the embodiment of the present invention can be regarded as a storage program, and steps S151, S152, S153, and S154 can be performed a plurality of times to keep the drying of the working chamber 111.

In certain embodiments, the humidity detection unit 140 includes a humidity sensor.

In this way, the humidity sensor can be used to quickly obtain humidity.

Specifically, the humidity sensor may refer to a device for measuring the relative humidity of the air. The humidity detecting unit 140 is generally used to measure relative humidity.

Specifically, the brightener refers to a product for reducing the surface tension of water and avoiding water marks left by the dishwasher after washing the dishwasher 100. It can be understood that, when the dishwasher 100 is washed, if the input device 180 is put into the light dish, there is substantially no water mark remaining on the tableware, and it is not necessary to use the heating device 170 to evaporate the water mark, so that the heating device 170 can be controlled to be closed to reduce the washing. The power consumption of the dishwasher 100; when the dishwasher 100 is washed, if the input device 180 is not put into the brightener, there is generally water residue on the tableware, so that the heating device 170 can be controlled to work, thereby making the water on the tableware Evaporation becomes water vapor, and the fan 120 can carry the water vapor out of the working chamber 111.

It can be understood that when the humidity is relatively small, it is indicated that the water vapor in the dishwasher 100 does not easily condense into water droplets, so that the fan 120 can be controlled to stop for a long time (that is, the first predetermined time and the third predetermined time are both longer) and the operation is longer. Short time (ie, the second predetermined time and the fourth predetermined time are both short); when the humidity is relatively large, it is indicated that the water vapor in the dishwasher 100 is easily condensed into water droplets, so that the fan 120 can be controlled to stop for a short time (ie, A predetermined time and a third predetermined time are both shorter) and the operation is longer (ie, the second predetermined time and the fourth predetermined time are longer), thereby removing water vapor in the dishwasher 100, thereby preventing the water vapor from condensing into Water droplets.

In some embodiments, when the humidity is the same, the first predetermined time and the third predetermined time may be the same or different, and the second predetermined time and the fourth predetermined time may be the same or different, and are not specifically limited herein.

In certain embodiments, the heating device 170 includes a heating tube. As such, the heating device 170 can be utilized to generate thermal energy.

In some embodiments, the input device 180 includes an input detection unit 182 that includes a pressure sensor. In this manner, whether or not the input device 180 is put into the brightener can be judged by the output of the input detecting unit 182.

Specifically, the input detecting unit 182 may be a pressure sensor by setting a pressure sensor in the input device 180, such as at the bottom of the input device 180, by detecting whether the pressure generated by the brightener stored in the input device 180 changes. To determine whether or not to put on a brightener, such as when the pressure detected by the pressure sensor becomes small, it indicates that the input device 180 may have put a brightener into the dishwasher.

In some embodiments, the input detection unit 182 can also be an infrared sensor. The infrared sensor judges whether or not the brightener in the input device 180 is reduced by the emission and return time of the infrared light.

In some embodiments, the input device 180 includes a switch for controlling the entry and exit of the brightener, and it is also possible to determine whether the input device 180 is put into the brightener by the state of the switch.

It should be noted that the bright dish is generally used in the washing process of the dishwasher 100, such as a rinsing program. If a varnish is used in the rinsing process, it can be judged that the input device 180 is put into the varnish, and if the rinsing process is used. If the brightener is not used, it can be judged that the input device 180 is not charged with the brightener.

Referring to FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the control method includes the following steps before the washing of the dishwasher 100 ends:

S155: when the input device 180 inputs the brightener, control the fan 120 to stop after the fifth predetermined time, and after stopping the sixth predetermined time, stop the seventh predetermined time; and

S156: When the input device 180 does not input the brightener, the control fan 120 and the heating device 170 are stopped for the eighth predetermined time, and after the ninth predetermined time is stopped, the tenth predetermined time is stopped.

Referring again to FIG. 2, in some embodiments, processor 150 is configured to:

When the input device 180 inputs the brightener, the fan 12 is stopped after the fifth predetermined time is stopped, and after the sixth predetermined time is stopped, the seventh predetermined time is stopped;

When the input device 180 does not input the brightener, the control fan 120 and the heating device 170 are stopped for the eighth predetermined time, and after the ninth predetermined time is stopped, the tenth predetermined time is stopped.

That is, steps S155 and S156 can be implemented by the processor 150.

In this way, the dishes in the dishwasher 100 can be dried.

Specifically, prior to the end of washing of the dishwasher 100, the dishwasher 100 generally includes a drying procedure by which the water vapor content within the working chamber 111 can be substantially reduced. When the input device 180 is put into the brightener, the drying process of the dishwasher 100 can be realized by controlling the fan 120 to stop after the fifth predetermined time and running for the sixth predetermined time. When the input device 180 is not put into the brightener, the fan can be controlled. 120 stops the eighth predetermined time and runs the ninth predetermined time to implement the drying process of the dishwasher 100, that is, the drying process of the dishwasher 100 may be to control the fan 120 to stop for a period of time (fifth predetermined time or eighth predetermined) After running for a period of time (sixth predetermined time or ninth predetermined time). It can be understood that, in order to greatly reduce the water vapor content in the working chamber 111, the fifth predetermined time may be much smaller than the sixth predetermined time, the eighth predetermined time may be much smaller than the ninth predetermined time, and the fan 120 may be controlled multiple times. The fifth predetermined time and the sixth predetermined time are performed or the fan 120 is controlled to operate at the eighth predetermined time and the ninth predetermined time.

It should be noted that the air in the working chamber 111 can also be dried by the steps S151, S152, S153 and S154 of the embodiment of the present invention, but generally takes a long time, so that it can be stopped by controlling the fan 120. The period of time (the fifth predetermined time or the eighth predetermined time) is operated for a period of time (the sixth predetermined time or the ninth predetermined time) to dry the air in the working chamber 111 in a shorter time. In addition, after the working chamber 111 is dried by the fan 120, the water vapor content of the working chamber 100 is low in a short time, so that the fan 120 can be controlled to stop for the seventh predetermined time or the tenth predetermined time, such as 60 minutes, thereby reducing The power consumption of the dishwasher 100.

It can be understood that the fifth predetermined time and the eighth predetermined time may be the same or different, and the sixth predetermined time and the ninth predetermined time may be the same or different, and the seventh predetermined time and the tenth predetermined time may be the same or different, and no specific limited.

In some embodiments, the fifth predetermined time and the eighth predetermined time are both about 5 minutes, the sixth predetermined time and the ninth predetermined time are both about 40 minutes, and the seventh predetermined time and the tenth predetermined time are both 60 minutes. about.

In this way, the air in the working chamber 111 can be dried.

In some embodiments, the fifth predetermined time and the eighth predetermined time are the same, the sixth predetermined time and the ninth predetermined time are the same, and the seventh predetermined time and the tenth predetermined time are the same. Specifically, when the control fan 120 is used to dry the dishwasher 100, the fan 120 generally stops for a short fifth predetermined time or an eighth predetermined time, such as about 0-10 minutes, preferably 5 minutes, and then runs. The longer sixth predetermined time or the ninth predetermined time, such as 30-60 minutes, preferably may be 40 minutes, so as to sufficiently carry away the water vapor in the working chamber 111, thereby ensuring the working chamber 111. dry. After the fan 120 has dried the working chamber 111, the water vapor content of the working chamber 111 is low, and the fan 120 can be stopped for a seventh predetermined time or a tenth predetermined time, such as 50-70 minutes, preferably 60. Minutes, after stopping for 60 minutes, the humidity can be detected, and the control method according to an embodiment of the present invention controls the operation of the fan 120 to execute the storage procedure of the dishwasher 100.

Referring to FIG. 4, in some embodiments, step S151 includes the following steps:

S1511: When the input device 180 inputs the brightener, control the fan 120 to operate for the eleventh predetermined time after the washing of the dishwasher 100 and before the first predetermined time;

S1512: controlling the fan 120 and the heating device 170 to operate for the twelfth predetermined time after the washing device 100 ends and before the third predetermined time, when the input device 180 is not put into the brightener;

S1513: The humidity detecting unit 140 is controlled to detect the humidity during the eleventh predetermined time or the twelfth predetermined time.

Referring again to FIG. 2, in some embodiments, processor 150 is configured to:

When the input device 180 is put into the brightener, the fan 12 is controlled to operate for the eleventh predetermined time after the washing of the dishwasher 100 and before the first predetermined time;

When the input device 180 is not loaded with the brightener, the fan 120 and the heating device 170 are controlled to operate for the twelfth predetermined time after the washing of the dishwasher 100 and before the third predetermined time;

The humidity detecting unit 140 is controlled to detect the humidity during the eleventh predetermined time or the twelfth predetermined time.

That is, steps S1511, S1512, and S1513 can be implemented by the processor 150.

In this way, the humidity detected by the humidity detecting unit 140 can be made substantially the same as the humidity of the working chamber.

Specifically, the humidity detecting unit 140 may be disposed in the air duct 112. When the humidity detecting unit 140 is in operation, if the input device 180 inputs the brightener, the fan 120 may be controlled to operate; if the input device 180 is not put into the brightener, it may be controlled. The fan 120 and the heating device 170 are operated at the same time; thus, the fan 120 drives the air in the working chamber 111 to flow, and the air in the air channel 112 can be regarded as the air in the working chamber 111, that is, the humidity detected by the humidity detecting unit 140 can be It is regarded as the humidity of the working chamber 111.

It can be understood that the eleventh predetermined time is between the end of washing of the dishwasher 100 and the first predetermined time. In some embodiments, the eleventh predetermined time may refer to the last time of the seventh predetermined time, such as the seventh. The last 20 seconds of the scheduled time. In one embodiment, at the end of the washing sequence, the eleventh predetermined time may refer to the last period of the seventh predetermined time, such as 20 seconds. In another embodiment, when steps S151, S152, S153, and S154 are cyclically executed and the last first predetermined time and the second predetermined time have just ended, the eleventh predetermined time may refer to the last of the last second predetermined time. For a while, such as 20 seconds.

It can be understood that the twelfth predetermined time is between the end of washing of the dishwasher 100 and the third predetermined time. In some embodiments, the twelfth predetermined time may refer to the last time of the tenth predetermined time, such as tenth. The last 20 seconds of the scheduled time. In one embodiment, at the end of the washing sequence, the twelf predetermined time may refer to the last time period of the tenth predetermined time, such as 20 seconds. In another embodiment, when steps S151, S152, S153, and S154 are cyclically executed and the last third predetermined time and the fourth predetermined time have just ended, the twelfth predetermined time may refer to the last of the last fourth predetermined time. For a while, such as 20 seconds.

It can be understood that controlling the humidity detecting unit 140 to detect the humidity during the eleventh predetermined time or the twelfth predetermined time means that the humidity detecting unit 140 detects the humidity during the eleventh predetermined time when the input device 180 inputs the brightener. When the input device 180 does not input the brightener, the humidity detecting unit 140 is controlled to detect the humidity for the twelfth predetermined time.

It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the humidity detected by the humidity detecting unit 140 is substantially the same as the humidity of the working chamber 111 when the input device 180 is not loaded with the brightener, generally the twelfth predetermined time is larger than the eleventh predetermined time, for example, The eleventh predetermined time may be 20 seconds, and the twelfth predetermined time may be 1 minute. In some embodiments, the eleventh predetermined time and the twelfth predetermined time may also be the same.

Referring to FIG. 5, in some embodiments, step S151 includes the following steps:

S1514: Control the humidity detecting unit 140 to perform multiple times to obtain a plurality of initial humidity; and

S1515: processing a plurality of initial humidity to obtain humidity, and the humidity is an intermediate value or an average value of the plurality of initial humidityes.

Referring again to FIG. 2, in some embodiments, processor 150 is configured to:

Controlling the humidity detecting unit 140 to perform multiple times to obtain a plurality of initial humidity; and

A plurality of initial humidityes are processed to obtain humidity, which is an intermediate value or an average of a plurality of initial humidityes.

That is to say, steps S1514, S1515 can be implemented by the processor 150.

In this way, the accuracy of the humidity can be ensured.

It can be understood that the humidity detecting unit 140 can detect to obtain an initial humidity, and the plurality of initial humidity can be obtained by the humidity detecting unit 140 for multiple times, and the humidity can be obtained by processing a plurality of initial humidity. Specifically, the method of processing the plurality of initial humidity to obtain the humidity includes a method of taking the average of the plurality of initial humidity as the humidity, or taking the median of the plurality of initial humidity as the humidity, and the like, which is not specifically limited herein.

In addition, the plurality of initial humidity may be an initial humidity obtained at intervals, such as obtaining an initial humidity every 5 seconds in 20 seconds or an initial humidity every 20 seconds in 1 minute.

Referring to FIG. 6, in some embodiments, the number of fans 120 is multiple, and the plurality of fans 120 are used to cooperate to establish an airflow through the air duct 112 to vent the working chamber 111.

In this way, the dehumidification effect of the dishwasher 100 can be achieved to a large extent.
