Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of dishwashers, and specifically relates to a sequential dishwasher and an automatic cleaning method.

BACKGROUND

An existing dishwasher adopts a spray mode to repeatedly clean tableware. In a cleaning process, a chemical detergent needs to be placed in the dishwasher and is heated to improve a cleaning effect of the tableware.

The existing dishwasher has the following shortcomings. 1, Energy consumption is large. To complete tableware cleaning once, a large amount of electrical energy needs to be consumed to heat the detergent to make it reach a best temperature. 2, Cleaning time is very long. It takes 1 to 2 hours to complete cleaning once. 3, The tableware with heavy stains further needs to be rinsed by hand once to be cleaned. In most households, particularly those with a family of three, the number of dishes generated during a meal is small. It is a waste to use the traditional dishwasher when the amount of tableware is very small, so we design and propose a sequential dishwasher and an automatic cleaning method for cleaning a small amount of tableware.

SUMMARY

An object of the present invention is to solve the disadvantages of the prior art, such as high cost of cleaning agent and electricity, long dishwashing time, and unstable cleaning effect caused by cleaning a small amount of tableware, and provide a sequential dishwasher and an automatic cleaning method. The sequential dishwasher and the automatic cleaning method may effectively save detergent consumption and water consumption of cleaning while realizing rapid cleaning of a single dish, and when facing cleaning of a small number of dishes, may complete the automatic cleaning of the dishes more efficiently with more energy saved.

In order to implement the above object, the present disclosure adopts the following technical solutions.

A sequential dishwasher is designed, including a casing, wherein a bottom of the casing is connected with a drainage pipe, a dish cleaning mechanism, arranged in the casing and used for clamping and cleaning a single dish; a rotary drive mechanism, arranged below the dish cleaning mechanism and used for driving the dish to rotate in forward and reverse directions alternately; a liquid supply mechanism, arranged in the casing and used for providing a detergent or tap water for cleaning of two sides of the dish in a spraying manner; and a control system, configured to control and connect the dish cleaning mechanism, the rotary drive mechanism, and the liquid supply mechanism for a clamping drive, a rotary drive, and a liquid supply cleaning drive during dish cleaning.

Further, the dish cleaning mechanism includes a fixed frame, a cleaning arm, a first cleaning sponge, and a second cleaning sponge. The first cleaning sponge and the second cleaning sponge are respectively correspondingly arranged on the fixed frame and the cleaning arm. The first cleaning sponge is fixed on the fixed frame in a vertical state. The second cleaning sponge is fixed on the cleaning arm in an L-shaped state. A linear drive mechanism for driving the second cleaning sponge to move in parallel is arranged below the cleaning arm.

Further, the linear drive mechanism includes a first drive motor, a first screw rod, guide shafts, and a sliding block. Two sides of the sliding block are slidably connected on the guide shafts. One end of the cleaning arm away from the second cleaning sponge is fixed on the sliding block. The first screw rod for driving the movement of the sliding block is arranged between the two guide shafts. One end of the first screw rod is provided with the first drive motor for driving the first screw rod to rotate. One side of the sliding block corresponding to the second cleaning sponge is provided with a dish limiting plate.

Further, the rotary drive mechanism includes two transmission rollers arranged in parallel. One of the transmission rollers is connected with an output end of a second drive motor through a coupling. The other ends of the two transmission rollers are provided with synchronous gears. A transmission belt is connected between the two synchronous gears.

Further, the sequential dishwasher further includes a lifting mechanism for lifting and lowering the dish cleaning mechanism. The lifting mechanism is arranged on two sides of the dish cleaning mechanism and includes a support wall. The support wall is fixed on two sides of the casing. A sliding rail is vertically fixed on the support wall. A movable platform is slidably connected to the sliding rail. A second screw rod for driving the moving platform to move up and down is fixed on the support wall. One end of the second screw rod is provided with a third drive motor for driving the second screw rod to rotate.

Further, the liquid supply mechanism includes a liquid supply pump. A liquid inlet pipe of the liquid supply pump is connected with a washing liquid tank and a tap water pipe respectively. A liquid outlet pipe of the liquid supply pump is connected with a plurality of nozzles. After the dish cleaning mechanism clamps the dish, the nozzles are distributed on the two sides of the dish.

Further, the control system includes a control unit, a material sensor and a first position sensor which are connected with the control unit. The material sensor is fixedly arranged in the first cleaning sponge, is used for sensing whether the dish is put into the dishwasher, and starts automatic operation after detecting that the dish is put into the dishwasher. Two sensing terminals of the first position sensor are respectively arranged between the cleaning arm and the fixed frame, and are used for sensing a displacement magnitude of a movement of the cleaning arm.

Further, the control system further includes a plurality of second position sensors connected with the control unit. Two sensing terminals of each of the plurality of second position sensors are respectively arranged between the movable platform and the support wall, and are used for sensing the lifting height of the lifting mechanism.

Further, the control system further includes two solenoid valves connected with the control unit. The two solenoid valves are respectively arranged on the liquid inlet pipe connected with the washing liquid tank and the tap water pipe.

In order to solve the above technical problems, the present disclosure further provides an automatic cleaning method for dishes, used for the sequential dishwasher, specifically including the following steps:

• • step 1, starting the sequential dishwasher, putting a bowl or plate to be cleaned on a dish cleaning mechanism, and clamping the bowl or the plate by the dish cleaning mechanism;
  • step 2, starting a rotary drive mechanism to drive the bowl or the plate to perform a forward or reverse unidirectional rotation;

  • step 4, after completing step 3, turning off the rotary drive mechanism, resetting the dish cleaning mechanism, and completing cleaning of the bowl or the plate.

Compared with the prior art, adopting the sequential dishwasher and the automatic cleaning method proposed by the present disclosure has the following beneficial effects. When a small number of dishes are cleaned, the single dish is put into the dishwasher, clamped by the dish cleaning mechanism, and is driven to rotate by the rotary drive mechanism, and the liquid supply mechanism performs precise liquid supply cleaning on the dish. Detergent consumption and water consumption of cleaning may be effectively saved while realizing rapid cleaning of the single dish. There is no need to heat a water body, which saves more energy. There is no need to manually clean tableware with heavy stains, which is more convenient and worry-free to use. When the small number of dishes are cleaned, the automatic cleaning of the dishes may be completed more efficiently.
