Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method of repelling insects for a dishwasher, and since the above method is performed based on an insect-repelling device for a dishwasher, to more clearly understand embodiments of the present invention, an insect-repelling device 100 for a dishwasher will be first described.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of an insect repelling apparatus 100 for a dishwasher according to an embodiment of the present invention. The insect-repellent device 100 of the dishwasher is mainly adapted to the washing area 200 of the dishwasher, the washing area 200 in this embodiment refers to all areas for containing the objects to be washed, wherein the washing area 200 may be a closed area or a semi-closed area depending on whether the dishwasher is opened or closed. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the cleaning region 200 is not limited in this embodiment, but is only limited for clarity of illustration.

Further, the insect-repelling apparatus 100 includes a light-emitting assembly 10, an ultrasonic wave-emitting device 20, and a processor 30.

The light emitting assembly 10 is used for emitting light to achieve an insect repelling effect. It should be noted that the light emitting device 10 should be distinguished from other light emitting devices, such as a light emitting device, and a light emitting device. The light-emitting assembly 10 of the present embodiment utilizes the light-shielding property of insects to repel mosquitoes and leaves them, thereby achieving the effect of repelling insects. For example, since blue light can promote the egg laying of insects and accelerate the growth of the eggs, the insects have phototaxis to the blue light, and the light emitted by the light emitting element 10 does not contain a blue light spectrum, thereby inhibiting the living environment of the insects. And due to the light-shading property of the insects at night in daytime, the insects can be repelled by utilizing the light.

The ultrasonic wave emitting device 20 is used to emit ultrasonic waves, and since the hearing range of the insect is wider than that of a human being, it emits an audible frequency that the insect can sense and dislike, thereby achieving an insect repelling effect. Alternatively, the ultrasonic wave emitting device 20 employs a wide frequency ultrasonic head, such as a piezoelectric film ultrasonic head, to emit ultrasonic waves for repelling insects.

The processor 30 is electrically connected to the light emitting assembly 10 and the ultrasonic emitting device 20, and is configured to control the start/stop of the light emitting assembly 10, the intensity of light and the light emitting manner, to the light emitting manner, refer to continuous light emission or flashing, and further configured to control the start/stop of the ultrasonic emitting device 20, audio frequency and audio frequency emitting manner. The processor 30 may be a single-chip microcomputer or a programmable microcomputer, or may be directly replaced by a digital circuit or an analog circuit.

As the light emitting assembly 10, the ultrasonic wave emitting device 20 and the processor 30 are explained above, further, the insect repelling device 100 further includes a system clock 40, the system clock 40 can be limited to include a counter and a clock module (including a real-time clock, a system clock and a CPU clock), and the system clock 40 can be a serial or parallel clock holding chip, so as to provide clock information. The processor 30 can control the light emitting assembly 10 and the ultrasonic wave emitting device 20 according to the clock information, so as to precisely expel insects.

Specifically, in cooperation with the clock information, the processor 30 reads the current time in the clock information, and if the current time corresponds to evening, the processor can enter an enhanced insect repelling mode, and shorten the time interval of repelling insects every time, if the current time corresponds to 8 o ' clock-12 o ' clock in evening, the processor can repel insects every 15 minutes to 30 minutes, and repel insects every 15 minutes to 12 o ' clock in 10 o ' clock-12 o ' clock, and when the current time corresponds to daytime, the processor can repel insects every two hours, and can improve the intensity of ultrasound and the on-off interval of light when the current time corresponds to evening, so that the optimal insect repelling effect is achieved. It can be understood that the system clock and the processor provided by the present invention are commonly known in the art, and may refer to the term "planning task" in the art, the control function for detecting the system time, or the "timer" for making a judgment, and the specific implementation manner is not described in this embodiment.

Further describing the structural features of the light emitting assembly 10 and the ultrasonic wave emitting device 20 in the embodiment of the present invention, the ultrasonic wave emitting device 20 may be plural or single, for example, when the ultrasonic wave emitting device 20 is single, it may be disposed on any side of the inner container (inner wall) of the cleaning region 200, or when the ultrasonic wave emitting device 20 is plural, it may be disposed on plural sides of the inner container of the cleaning region 200. To emit ultrasonic waves from multiple angles.

Similarly, the light emitting module 10 may be disposed on the top or peripheral side of the inner container of the cleaning region 200, such as on the same side or opposite side of the ultrasonic transmitter 20, and the body of the light emitting module 10 may have a strip shape or a circular shape without any configuration. To emit light toward the inside of the washing zone 200.

In summary, the embodiment of the present invention provides an insect repelling apparatus 100 for a dishwasher, which controls the ultrasonic wave emitting device 20 and the light emitting device 10 to repel insects at a suitable time by the processor 30 in cooperation with the system clock 40, thereby achieving the best insect repelling effect.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for repelling insects in a dishwasher according to an embodiment of the present invention. Accordingly, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for repelling insects for a dishwasher, which is implemented based on the above insect-repelling device 100, and as can be seen from the above, the insect-repelling device 100 includes an ultrasonic wave emitting device and a light emitting device, and the method is an execution program to be run by a processor. Therefore, one aspect of the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is: the method comprises the following steps:

step S11: presetting a plurality of insect expelling modes, wherein the insect expelling mode comprises a mode that the ultrasonic emitting device emits ultrasonic waves and the light emitting device emits light;

step S12: presetting a planning task corresponding to a time period, wherein the planning task comprises an insect repelling mode;

step S13: and acquiring clock information of the system clock, and executing the scheduled task according to the clock information.

It is to be understood that, for step S11, i.e., first setting a plurality of insect repelling modes, the term "insect repelling mode" in the present embodiment includes the following execution of the main control logic:

firstly, on the cooperation that lies in ultrasonic wave emitter transmission ultrasonic wave and illuminator emission light, divide into three kinds of execution states with it specifically:

controlling only one of the ultrasonic module and the light-emitting device to emit ultrasonic waves or light; or

Controlling the ultrasonic module and the light-emitting device to emit ultrasonic waves and light rays simultaneously; or

The ultrasonic module and the light-emitting device are controlled to emit ultrasonic waves and light rays in a staggered mode.

In brief, the ultrasonic module emits ultrasonic waves singly, or the light-emitting device emits light, or the ultrasonic module and the light-emitting device emit the ultrasonic waves and the light simultaneously, or the ultrasonic module and the light-emitting device emit the ultrasonic waves and the light alternately. By setting in this way, it is possible to distinguish between different insect-repelling strengths; it will be appreciated that the insects are not necessarily all opaque or sensitive to ultrasound in a certain audio frequency range. Therefore, when only one of ultrasonic waves or light is adopted, the insect repelling strength is less than that when the ultrasonic waves and the light are emitted by the ultrasonic wave module and the light emitting device in an interlaced mode, or the ultrasonic waves and the light are emitted by the ultrasonic wave module and the light emitting device at the same time. Therefore, the insect repelling strength is classified into different grades by this type of method, thereby setting different insect repelling strengths.

The other is that the ultrasonic wave emitting device emits ultrasonic waves and the light emitting device emits light, for example, the ultrasonic wave emitting device can adopt fixed frequency or non-fixed frequency.

The term "fixed frequency" as described above does not mean that the ultrasonic wave emitting device always adopts a fixed value of frequency during operation in the present embodiment, and in the present embodiment, the fixed frequency refers to operation in a specific mode, such as: the ultrasonic wave emitting device can adopt 6000HZ ultrasonic wave when 8-12 mosquito high-rise at night. But after 12 o' clock during the day or night, lower frequency ultrasound may be used.

The non-fixed frequency refers to a random frequency, namely the frequency of the ultrasonic wave is emitted in a random mode, and the mode has the advantage of avoiding the insect from generating adaptability to the ultrasonic wave with a certain frequency, so that the insect repelling effect is increased.

In step S12, plan tasks corresponding to time periods are preset, where the plan tasks include insect repelling modes, and it can be understood that the "plan tasks corresponding to time periods" are to set corresponding insect repelling modes according to the time of the insects, for example, according to research and study, when the insects are concentrated (high-incidence section of insect pests), the plan tasks corresponding to the insect repelling modes with stronger insect repelling force are set, and similarly, when the frequency of the insects is less (low-incidence section of insect pests), the plan tasks corresponding to the insect repelling modes with lower insect repelling force are set. The "planning task" is to set a corresponding time condition or other preset conditions for the insect repelling mode, and when the time or other factors meet the preset conditions for the planning task, the planning task is run, that is, the insect repelling mode.

In other embodiments of the present application, other preset conditions include: at least one of an environmental condition, a dishwasher operating condition, a voltage condition, a current condition. The planning task is an embedded or other means of skill readily available to programmers, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art in this application. And thus are not overly elaborated in the present disclosure.

In step S13, clock information of the system clock is obtained, and the planning task is executed according to the clock information, that is, the clock information is obtained by the system clock, wherein the clock information is at least one of second, minute, hour, day, week and month. After the clock information of the clock module is read, whether the current moment meets a preset time condition or not is judged according to the programming of the planned task, and then a corresponding insect repelling mode is operated.

Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention firstly provides a vermin expelling apparatus 100 for a dishwasher, which controls the ultrasonic wave emitting device 20 and the light emitting device 10 to expel vermin at an appropriate time by the processor 30 in cooperation with the system clock 40. And a method for cooperating with the insect repelling apparatus 100 for a dishwasher, that is, forming a plurality of patterns by cooperating and emitting the ultrasonic wave emitting device 20 and the light emitting device 10, presetting a scheduled task of an insect repelling pattern corresponding to a time period, and further cooperating with clock information of a system clock, executing the scheduled task according to the clock information. Thereby achieving the best effect of expelling the insects.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an insect repelling mode in a method for repelling insects in a dishwasher according to an embodiment of the present invention. An aspect of an embodiment of the present invention is to improve an insect-repellent mode, the method including:

step S21: controlling an ultrasonic wave transmitting device to send out ultrasonic waves;

step S22: controlling the light-emitting device to emit light.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a block diagram of an insect repelling apparatus to which a method of the insect repelling apparatus 100 for a dishwasher according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied. In one direction that the present application can be improved, the processor 30 may be connected to the PWM control device 50, the PWM control device 50 may also be understood as a pulse width modulation circuit, the change of the output of the switching regulated power supply is realized by pulse width modulation, the processor 30 is electrically connected to two independent PWM control devices 50 respectively, and the PWM control devices 50 are electrically connected to the ultrasonic wave emitting device 20 and the light emitting device 10 respectively, so as to control the power output of the ultrasonic wave generating device 20 and the light emitting device 10, that is, the frequency of the ultrasonic wave emitting device 20 and the light intensity of the light emitting device 10.

The PWM control device 50 is only used as an example in the embodiment of the present invention, and other adjusting devices may be used to implement the PWM control device, and the PWM control device is also within the protection scope of the present invention.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a rectifier (not shown) integrated for filtering is further disposed between the processor 30 and the light emitting device 10, and because there is interference in the normally input direct current or alternating current electrical waveform, the processor 30 detects the input electrical waveform, and the uniform electrical waveform is output after filtering processing by the rectifier, so as to achieve uniformity of light stroboscopic emitted by the light emitting device 10.

It can be understood that the processor controls the ultrasonic wave emitting device and the light emitting device to emit ultrasonic waves and/or light, and the insect can be repelled more effectively through the cooperation of the ultrasonic waves and the light. Thereby, based on steps S21 to S22, the following insect repelling mode can be expanded.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an insect repelling mode of a method for repelling insects in a dishwasher according to an embodiment of the present invention. The insect repelling mode includes the following steps:

step S21: controlling an ultrasonic wave transmitting device to send out ultrasonic waves;

step S22: controlling the light-emitting device to emit light;

wherein the controlling the ultrasonic wave emitting device to emit the ultrasonic wave in step S22 includes:

step S211: randomly selecting the frequency and the emission period of the ultrasonic waves;

step S212: emitting ultrasound waves of a selected fixed or varying frequency for a selected transmission period;

step S213: pausing the emission of the ultrasound waves for a pause period after the emission of the selected fixed or variable frequency ultrasound waves for the selected emission period;

wherein the pause period is randomly selected.

It is understood that the frequency of the ultrasonic wave may be fixed, or may be randomly selected, and the random selection of the frequency of the ultrasonic wave may be performed by using a random selection algorithm, such as a RAND function, within a certain range, so as to generate a random coefficient. The random coefficient is then multiplied by a predetermined frequency range to generate a random frequency value.

If the time period is divided into a high pest occurrence segment and a low pest occurrence segment according to the habits of the insects; and randomly changing the frequency and the transmitting time period of the ultrasonic waves according to the high-pest-damage-rate section and the low-pest-damage-rate section.

Further, according to the high-incidence section of the insect pests and the low-incidence section of the insect pests, randomly changing the frequency of the ultrasonic wave comprises the following steps:

respectively presetting an upper frequency limit value and a lower frequency limit value aiming at the high pest-damage-occurring section and the low pest-damage-occurring section;

the control frequency is then randomly decimated between an upper frequency limit and a lower frequency limit.

Wherein, the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the frequency are within the frequency range capable of repelling insects; therefore, the method for expelling insects in the dishwasher can randomly change the frequency on the basis of ensuring that the insects are repelled, thereby avoiding the insects from generating adaptability to ultrasonic waves, and can ensure that the durability of the insects repelled by the dishwasher is better through the random change of the frequency, thereby ensuring the durability and reliability of the dishwasher and further laterally improving the satisfaction degree of users.

In one aspect of the embodiment of the present invention, an improvement of the random manner is that after the upper frequency limit value and the lower frequency limit value are preset for the pest high-occurrence section and the pest low-occurrence section respectively, the method further includes the following steps:

when the time period corresponds to a high pest occurrence period, increasing the upper frequency limit value and the lower frequency limit value; increasing the light intensity upper limit value and the light intensity lower limit value;

when the time period corresponds to a pest low-incidence period, reducing the upper frequency limit value and the lower frequency limit value; the light intensity upper limit value and the light intensity lower limit value are reduced.

It is understood that when random frequencies are used, the upper frequency limit value and the lower frequency limit value can be increased in the high pest outbreak section to expand the range of random selection. The advantage of this method is that, because the frequency range to which the insects are sensitive is not uniform, when the number of insects is large, the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the frequency can be increased to realize a larger insect repelling range, thereby ensuring that the insects can be completely repelled.

Furthermore, as for the mode of randomly selecting the transmission TIME period of the ultrasonic wave, a combination of a random selection algorithm and TIME, such as an RAND function and a TIME function, can be adopted to obtain a random TIME period in a fixed TIME period, for example, at least one TIME period from 8 pm to 9 pm can be randomly selected as the transmission TIME period, and at least one TIME period is selected from 9 pm to 10 pm as the transmission TIME period.

Similarly, the randomly selected ultrasonic wave transmitting time period can also be respectively preset with a time length upper limit value, a time length lower limit value, an interval upper limit value (namely the pause time period) and an interval lower limit value (namely the pause time period) aiming at the insect pest high-emission section and the insect pest low-emission section, so that the randomly selected ultrasonic wave transmitting time period is extracted by adopting the preset time length upper limit value and the preset time length lower limit value, and is matched with the random extraction of the interval upper limit value and the interval lower limit value, and the transmitting time period is obtained. If 8 pm to 9 pm, any value 15 minutes with the time length upper limit value and the time length lower limit value ranging from 10 minutes to 20 minutes is extracted, and any value 25 minutes with the interval ranging from 20 minutes to 30 minutes is extracted, so that the emission time period is 20: 00-20: 15, and 20: 40-20: 55. Ultrasonic wave transmission is performed during this transmission period.

In one direction of the embodiment of the present invention, an improvement of the random manner is obtained by presetting an upper time limit and a lower time limit, an upper interval limit and a lower interval limit for the high pest outbreak segment and the low pest outbreak segment, and then the following steps are included:

when the time period corresponds to a high pest occurrence period, increasing a time length upper limit value and a time length lower limit value; reducing the interval upper limit value and the interval lower limit value;

when the time period corresponds to a pest low-incidence period, reducing the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the duration; the interval upper limit value and the interval lower limit value are increased.

It is understood that when the period of high incidence of the vermin is increased, the time for emission is increased, the emission interval is decreased (i.e., the duration of the rest period is decreased), i.e., the density of the emission period is increased, thereby more effectively repelling the vermin.

Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a step S22 of a method for repelling insects in a dishwasher according to an embodiment of the present invention. The step of controlling the light emitting device to emit light in step S22 includes at least one of the following steps:

step S221: controlling the light-emitting device to emit light in a flashing manner;

step S222: and controlling the light-emitting device to continuously emit light and/or enhancing the intensity of the emitted light during the pause time when the ultrasonic wave emitting device does not emit the ultrasonic wave.

Namely, at this time, the corresponding insect-repelling mode is:

step S211: randomly selecting the frequency and the emission period of the ultrasonic waves;

step S212: emitting ultrasound waves of a selected fixed or varying frequency for a selected transmission period;

step S213: pausing the emission of the ultrasound waves for a pause period after the emission of the selected fixed or variable frequency ultrasound waves for the selected emission period; simultaneously, at least any one of the following steps is performed:

step S221: controlling the light-emitting device to emit light in a flashing manner;

step S222: and controlling the light-emitting device to continuously emit light and/or enhancing the intensity of the emitted light during the pause time when the ultrasonic wave emitting device does not emit the ultrasonic wave.

It can be understood that the former controls the light emitting device to emit light in a flashing manner, i.e. the processor sends a corresponding instruction to control the light emitting device to emit light in a specified period, and the latter controls the light emitting device to emit light continuously in a pause period when the ultrasonic wave emitting device does not emit ultrasonic waves, or enhances the emitted light to meet the continuous insect expelling requirement. Through above-mentioned form, first control illuminator sends light with the form of scintillation on the basis of transmission ultrasonic wave to satisfy the dynamics of expelling parasite and realize energy-conserving effect. Step S222 provides two ways, namely, controlling the light emitting device to emit light during the pause period of transmitting the ultrasonic wave, or increasing the intensity of the light emitted by the light emitting device during the pause period. The advantage through this mode lies in, guarantees that dish washer is in the expelling parasite state always, through ultrasonic wave and light constantly alternate, realizes energy-conserving and effectual expelling parasite.

Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a step S221 of a method for repelling insects in a dishwasher according to an embodiment of the present invention. Wherein the step S221 of controlling the light emitting device to emit light in a blinking manner includes:

step S2211: controlling the light emitting device not to emit light during the emission period;

step S2212: and controlling the light-emitting device to emit light in the pause time.

For step S221, there may be provided a manner in which the light is emitted only during the pause period. Thereby guarantee the continuous alternating expression of ultrasonic wave and light, realize energy-conserving and effectual expelling parasite.

Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a timing chart illustrating the cooperation of the light emitting device and the ultrasonic wave emitting device in the method for repelling insects in a dishwasher according to an embodiment of the present invention. For the sake of easy understanding of the above, referring to the line a1 in the timing chart, the line a1 is a line of an ultrasonic wave frequency accompanying the time axis when the ultrasonic wave transmitting device transmits the ultrasonic wave, the ultrasonic wave frequency being randomly extracted from the frequency lower limit value e2 to the frequency upper limit value e1, and the line a2 is a line of a fixed frequency when the ultrasonic wave transmitting device transmits the ultrasonic wave.

On the other hand, the emission time t1 and the pause time t2 during which the ultrasonic wave is emitted by any one of the ultrasonic wave emitting devices are randomly extracted within the preset range, and the lines b1 to b3 corresponding to the time axis are the light intensity lines of the light emitted by the light emitting device, referring to the line b1, only the light is emitted during the pause time in the above steps S2211 to S2212. Thereby ensuring that the ultrasonic waves and the light rays are continuously alternated. Please continue to refer to line b2, i.e. the light is continuously emitted in step S222 to ensure the insect repelling state. Then, for the line b3, the light emitting device is controlled to increase the intensity of the emitted light corresponding to the pause period in which the ultrasonic wave emitting device does not emit the ultrasonic wave in step S222.

Therefore, the insect repelling method for the dish washing machine provided by the embodiment of the invention is mainly suitable for repelling insects of the dish washing machine, and particularly for the dish washing machine which is difficult to disassemble and is used in a long-period fixed area, such as a water tank type or an embedded type, the dish washing machine can continuously repel the insects in the service life of the dish washing machine. It is mainly through the cooperation of ultrasonic wave and light, and through the emission period of ultrasonic wave random, and ultrasonic frequency is random, prevents that the insect from producing the adaptability to the ultrasonic wave after certain duration to realize the more permanent expelling parasite. In addition, the insect repelling is more effectively carried out by the cooperation of light, such as flickering, or emission when the ultrasonic wave is suspended, or change of light intensity. And the cooperation with the help of light and ultrasonic wave distinguishes not expelling parasite intensity (expelling parasite mode), cooperates the clock to carry out different expelling parasite modes at different time quantums, in order to realize energy-conservation, the expelling parasite is more accurate, and efficiency is higher.
