Definitions

  • the present disclosure belongs to the technical field of dishwashers, and particularly relates to a dishwasher and a method for controlling the dishwasher.
  • Common sterilization methods mainly include thermal sterilization, ionizing radiation, plasma sterilization, chemical sterilization, etc.
  • a temperature of hot water in the dishwasher is less than 100°C, which does not reach a temperature required by the thermal sterilization. Accordingly, hot water sterilization does not effectively remove bacteria in the dishwasher.
  • the high temperature and high pressure sterilization has poor stability and is difficult to control. Space of the dishwasher is narrow, a distance between bowls is relatively small, and the blows block each other, such that ultraviolet rays can not effectively act on each bowl. If an ozone concentration in the dishwasher is too high, a hypochlorous acid and so on in tap water may be oxidized and therefore substances harmful to human health are produced.
  • the plasma sterilization has the following characteristics: (1) has the broad-spectrum antibacterial property, it generally takes several minutes to reach a sterility assurance level; (2) a temperature of a plasma gas is close to a room temperature, so the plasma gas can be used to sterilize heat sensitive materials, and therefore dramatical reduction of a usage amount of disposable medical materials and medical costs are expectable; and (3) biological substances with strong resistance can be efficiently eliminated, which include super bacteria with strong drug resistance, prions with strong temperature resistance, bacterial biofilm with a group protection function, etc., and odorous gases can be effectively removed.
  • This sterilization method is expected to solve the sterilization problem faced by an existing dishwasher, but the difficulty in generating plasma in the dishwasher is how to generate large-area plasma to cover a surface of tableware under an atmospheric pressure.
  • generation of the plasma is related to an electric field between electrodes, an electrode spacing and an initial electron number density, and therefore, large-area plasma may be generated by designing a reasonable electrode structure.
  • the present disclosure provides a dishwasher and a method for controlling the dishwasher.
  • the dishwasher includes a housing and further includes a plasma sterilization and disinfection apparatus arranged inside the housing, the plasma sterilization and disinfection apparatus includes a discharge electrode plate, a ground electrode plate, a radio-frequency power supply and an earthing power supply, a tableware storage space is formed between the discharge electrode plate and the ground electrode plate, the radio-frequency power supply is connected to the discharge electrode plate, and the earthing power supply is connected to the ground electrode plate.
  • the plasma sterilization and disinfection apparatus includes a plurality of discharge electrode plates and a plurality of ground electrode plates, and the discharge electrode plates and the ground electrode plates are alternatively arranged.
  • the discharge electrode plate and the ground electrode plate are arranged parallel to each other and respectively perpendicular to a horizontal plane of the housing.
  • a distance between the discharge electrode plate and an adjacent ground electrode plate is 30-60 mm.
  • a distance between any two adjacent discharge electrode plates is equal to a distance between any two adjacent ground electrode plates.
  • a distance between the discharge electrode plate and an adjacent ground electrode plate is 50 mm.
  • the discharge electrode plate is arranged at a top inside the housing, and the ground electrode plate is arranged at a bottom inside the housing.
  • the discharge electrode plate and the ground electrode plate are arranged parallel to each other and respectively parallel to a horizontal plane of the housing.
  • a distance between the discharge electrode plate and the ground electrode plate is 150-250 mm.
  • an area of the discharge electrode plate is greater than an area of the ground electrode plate.
  • a separating apparatus is arranged in the tableware storage space and configured to separate tableware.
  • a value of a discharge voltage of the radio-frequency power supply is 1-5 kV.
  • the discharge electrode plate and the ground electrode plate are made of conductive materials.
  • the method for controlling a dishwasher is configured to control the above dishwasher and includes the following steps:
  • before performing the electrification for sterilization further comprises: cleaning by the dishwasher, the tableware.
  • the method further comprises: heating for evaporating water on the surface of the tableware.
  • the present disclosure provides the dishwasher.
  • the dishwasher includes the housing and further includes the plasma sterilization and disinfection apparatus arranged inside the housing, the plasma sterilization and disinfection apparatus includes the discharge electrode plate, the ground electrode plate, the radio-frequency power supply and the earthing power supply, the tableware storage space is formed between the discharge electrode plate and the ground electrode plate, the radio-frequency power supply is connected to the discharge electrode plate, and the earthing power supply is connected to the ground electrode plate.
  • Large-area glow plasma covering tableware is generated by designing a reasonable discharge electrode structure, efficient sterilization and disinfection on the tableware through the plasma is realized, the problems of low efficiency and long treatment time faced by a sterilization method of an existing dishwasher are solved, and accordingly sterilization time of the dishwasher is shortened and a sterilization effect of the dishwasher is improved.
  • the dishwasher includes a housing 100, and a plasma sterilization and disinfection apparatus arranged inside the housing 100, the plasma sterilization and disinfection apparatus includes a plurality of discharge electrode plates 101 and 103, a plurality of ground electrode plates 102 and 104, a radio-frequency power supply 105 and an earthing power supply 106.
