In addition, turbidity detection portion 60 is set at the inside of sink 2, safeguards easily.Thereby even have under the situation of dirt in concavity portion 631, the user also can easily remove this dirt.
(4-b) as stated, in turbidity detection portion 60, detect the concavity portion 631 ejection washings of nozzle 5x to sensor housing 630 from turbidity.Through washings being filled in the inside of concavity portion 631, cause optical sensor 64 detects the turbidity of washings.
At this, detect nozzle 5x along vertical configuration turbidity, and dispose concavity portion 631 with the relative mode of front end with turbidity detection nozzle 5x.Thus, the bottom 632 of concavity portion 631 is along horizontal plane expansion and faces downwards.Under this state, during along vertical ejection washings, apply roughly hydraulic pressure uniformly to concavity portion 631 to the bottom surface 632 of concavity portion 631 when detect nozzle 5x from turbidity.Thus, in the washings that import to concavity portion 631, be mixed with under the situation of bubble, extruded equably downwards from concavity portion 631 through this bubble of hydraulic pressure.Therefore, continuing under the situation of concavity portion 631 ejection washings, hardly can residual bubble in concavity portion 631 etc. gas phase.In this case, owing in the washings that import between light-emitting component 64a and the photo detector 64b, do not have gas phase, therefore reduced the detection error of washings turbidities.
At this, consider that along continuous straight runs configuration turbidity detects nozzle 5x and detect the situation of the relative mode landscape configuration sensor housing 630 of the front end of nozzle 5x with concavity portion 631 and turbidity.In this case, when detecting nozzle 5x from turbidity, because the influence of gravity is difficult to apply uniform hydraulic pressure to the bottom surface 632 along vertical of concavity portion 631 to concavity portion 631 ejection washings.Therefore, in the washings that import to concavity portion 631, be mixed with under the situation of bubble, the side shifting that might this bubble makes progress in the inside of concavity portion 631 also is detained.
Thereby, detect nozzle 5x and sensor housing 630 about turbidity, comparatively it is desirable to, along vertical configuration turbidity detection nozzle 5x and with the front end relative mode sensors configured housing 630 of concavity portion 631 with turbidity detection nozzle 5x.Thus, as above-mentioned, reduced the detection error of turbidity.
In addition; Bubble in being blended into washings influences under the situation of detection error of turbidity hardly, can along continuous straight runs configuration turbidity detects nozzle 5x and detects the relative mode landscape configuration sensor housing 630 of front end of nozzle 5x with concavity portion 631 and turbidity.In addition, also can dispose turbidity obliquely with respect to vertical detects nozzle 5x and detects the relative mode of the front end of nozzle 5x sensors configured housing 630 obliquely with concavity portion 631 and turbidity.
Turbidity detection portion 60 is arranged on than is accumulated in the high position of peak level of the washings in the portion of accumulating 12 in this case, when the stream Ra beyond the 3rd stream Rc, Rb, Rd supply washings, washings can not contact concavity portion 631 thus yet.In addition, from sink 2 discharge washings the time, washings can not remain in the concavity portion 631 yet.Thereby, prevent in incrustation scale, the concavity portion 631 of wet goods attached to sensor housing 630.
(4-c) as stated, the 16a of window portion of the door 16 of the front surface of formation sink 2 has light transmission.Thus, under door 16 pent states, from the light of outside from the 16a of window portion to the incident of the inside of sink 2.In this case, when detecting the turbidity of washings, the detection accuracy of optical sensor 64 might be owing to stray light reduces.
To this, in turbidity detection portion 60, surround the concavity portion 631 of the turbidity that detects washings by end cover 610.As stated, end cover 610 constitutes the part of the end face of sink 2, and this end face has light-proofness.
Thus, even incide at light outside under the door 16 pent states under the situation of inside of sink 2, can prevent that also this light from entering into the concavity portion 631 of the inboard of end cover 610.Its result, the detection accuracy that prevents optical sensor 64 when detecting the turbidity of washings is owing to stray light reduces.
(4-d) inner surface in the concavity portion 631 of the sensor housing 630 that receives washings has under the hydrophobic situation; When detecting nozzle 5x from turbidity to the release of concavity portion 631 ejection washings, washings as drop easily attached to the inner surface of concavity portion 631.When the droplet drying of the inner surface that is attached to concavity portion 631, be included in dirt in the drop unevenly on the inner surface attached to concavity portion 631.In this case, because there is uneven dirt in the inner surface of concavity portion 631, the turbidity that causes utilizing optical sensor 64 to carry out detects the instability that becomes.
Thereby, comparatively it is desirable to the surperficial possess hydrophilic property of the concavity portion 631 of the sensor housing 630 of reception washings.For example, the inner surface in concavity portion 631 covers hydrophilic resin.
In this case, prevent detecting under the situation that the action of nozzle 5x to concavity portion 631 ejection washings finished washings from turbidity as the inner surface of drop attached to concavity portion 631.Thus, prevent to adhere to dirt unevenly at the inner surface of concavity portion 631.Its result prevents when the turbidity of each detection washings, to reduce owing to the drop that is attached to concavity portion 631 makes the detection accuracy of turbidity.
(5) the initial adjustment of detection signal
In this embodiment during the above-mentioned cleaning of beginning before, adjust so that fix by the magnitude of voltage of the detection signal of the light income of photo detector 64b decision.The luminous quantity of control part 70 (in Fig. 8,9, recording and narrating after a while) adjustment light-emitting component 64a makes the magnitude of voltage by the detection signal of photo detector 64b decision become the voltage (being called a reference value later on) of regulation.Its result; Even light-emitting component 64a, photo detector 64b all the year round under the situation of deterioration, sensor housing 630 all the year round under the situation of deterioration, or under the situation that the light income of photo detector 64b reduces owing to be included in the adhering to of dirt in the washings; Also can be through increasing the luminous quantity of light-emitting component 64a, come will be adjusted into a reference value by the voltage of the detection signal of the light income decision of photo detector 64b at each start of run.Therefore, can correctly detect the turbidity of washings for a long time.In addition, owing to before carrying out cleaning step, adjust a reference value that turbidity detects, therefore can turbidity detection accuracy be reduced owing to water droplet, steam are attached to turbidity detection portion yet.Thereby, pinpoint accuracy and suitably carry out and be cleaned the dirty degree corresponding cleaning of thing for a long time.
(6) variation of detection signal
In this embodiment, in above-mentioned cleaning step and rinse step, detect the turbidity of the washings in the sink 2 by the optical sensor 64 of turbidity detection portion 60.Then, variation by the turbidity of optical sensor 64 detected washings is described.
Fig. 7 sequential chart that to be expression change from the magnitude of voltage of the detection signal of optical sensor 64 output (below be called detect voltage).In Fig. 7, except the variation that detects voltage, also illustrate by the variations in temperature of temperature sensor 17 detected washings and the opening and closing of heater 14.
In the example of Fig. 7, during moment t0~t1, carry out draining/water supply step of the step S1 of Fig. 4.At this moment, will be adjusted into a reference value (V3), and discharge the washings that remain in the sink 2 and supply with running water to sink 2 by the magnitude of voltage of the detection signal of optical sensor 64 output.In this example, be lower than 50 ℃ running water to sink 2 supplying temperatures.In drain step, discharge the washings in the portion that accumulates 12 that remains in sink 2 bottoms.In the water supply step, supply with running water to the portion of accumulating 12 from the inwall bottom of sink 2.Thereby in draining/water supply step, washings can not contact with optical sensor.Thereby, can under the state of the dry tack free of optical sensor 64, carry out the correction of a reference value.Therefore, can suppress owing to water droplet, steam produce error.
Then, during as the moment t1~t2 during cleaning, carry out the cleaning step of the step S2 of Fig. 4.As stated, in cleaning step, to the inner loop of the washings that are cleaned thing 10 injections at sink 2.In this case, owing to be blended into the washings from the dirt that is cleaned thing 10 removals, so the turbidity of washings rises gradually.Its result detects voltage and reduces gradually.In addition, the dirty degree that is cleaned thing 10 is big more, and the turbidity of washings rises highly more, and detecting voltage drop must be low more.
In addition, in moment t1 heater 14.In cleaning step,, the temperature of washings closes heater 14 when reaching setting T2, heater 14 when the temperature of washings is reduced to setting T3.Thus, the temperature of washings is maintained at more than or equal in setting T3 and the scope smaller or equal to setting T2.Setting T3 for example is 50 ℃, and setting T2 for example is 53 ℃.Close heater 14 at moment t2.
Then, during moment t2~t3, carry out draining/water supply step of the step S 3 of Fig. 4.That is, employed washings during from sink 2 discharge cleanings, and to the new running water of sink 2 supplies.
Then, during moment t3~t4, carry out the rinse step of the step S4 of Fig. 4.In this case, with cleaning step likewise, to being cleaned washings that thing 10 sprays inner loop at sink 2.But, be removed in cleaning step owing to be cleaned most of dirt of thing 10, so the turbidity step-down of washings.Therefore, comparing detection voltage with cleaning step uprises.In addition, in rinse step, heater 14 keeps and cuts out, but owing to the waste heat of the circulating path of 2 inside of the sink in the cleaning step and washings rises the temperature of washings gradually.
At this, detection voltage minimum in the cleaning step is made as cleans minimum voltage V1, minimum detection voltage in the first time rinse step is made as rinsing minimum voltage V2.In this embodiment,, determine whether carrying out the rinsing second time according to cleaning minimum voltage V1 and cleaning the difference Vo between minimum voltage V1 and the rinsing minimum voltage V2.
Specifically, be higher than under the setting A1 and the situation of difference Vo between cleaning minimum voltage V1 and the rinsing minimum voltage V2 that is predetermined, do not carry out secondary rinsing less than the setting A2 that is predetermined at cleaning minimum voltage V1.In this case, carry out draining/water supply step of the step S5 of Fig. 4 since moment t4.
On the other hand, be lower than at cleaning minimum voltage V1 under the situation and the situation of difference Vo between cleaning minimum voltage V1 and the rinsing minimum voltage V2 of the setting A1 that is predetermined, carry out secondary rinsing greater than the setting A2 that is predetermined.In this case, carry out the draining/water supply step of the step S3 of Fig. 4 and the rinse step of step S4 once more from moment t4.

(8) optical sensor and power supply circuit and detection voltage commutation circuit
Fig. 9 is the circuit diagram of the detailed structure of expression optical sensor 64.As shown in Figure 9, optical sensor 64 comprises power supply circuit 71, element driving circuit 73 and detects voltage commutation circuit 90.
Power supply circuit 71 possesses digital-to-analog (D/A) translation circuit 85, NPN bipolar transistor (following brief note is a transistor) 86, PNP bipolar transistor (following brief note is a transistor) 87 and resistance 88.Element driving circuit 73 possesses light-emitting component 64a, photo detector 64b, digital-to-analog (D/A) translation circuit 81, NPN bipolar transistor (following brief note is a transistor) 82,83 and resistance 84a, 84b, 84c.Detect voltage commutation circuit 90 and possess NPN bipolar transistor (following brief note is a transistor) 92 and resistance 84d, 91.
Power supply circuit 71, element driving circuit 73 and detection voltage commutation circuit 90 are arranged on the printed circuit board (PCB) 64P.The light-emitting component 64a of element driving circuit 73 and photo detector 64b that kind as shown in Figure 6 are configured in the both sides of concavity portion 631.
The input terminal of D/A translation circuit 85 is connected with the lead-out terminal of control part 70 via node N 1.The lead-out terminal of D/A translation circuit 85 is connected with the base stage of transistor 86.The emitter stage of transistor 86 is connected with ground terminal, and the colelctor electrode of transistor 86 is connected via the base stage of resistance 88 with transistor 87.The emitter stage of transistor 87 is connected with the power supply terminal Vd that receives supply voltage VDD, and colelctor electrode is connected with node N2.
The input terminal of D/A translation circuit 81 is connected with the lead-out terminal of control part 70 via node N1.The lead-out terminal of D/A translation circuit 81 is connected with the base stage of transistor 82.The colelctor electrode of transistor 82 is connected with node N2, and emitter stage is connected with the base stage of transistor 83 via resistance 84a.
Between the colelctor electrode of node N2 and transistor 83, be connected light-emitting component 64a.The emitter stage of transistor 83 is connected with the ground terminal with earthing potential GND via resistance 84b.
The photo detector 64b that between node N2 and node N3, is connected optical sensor 64.Between node N3 and ground terminal, be connected resistance 84c, 84d.The voltage of node N3 is provided for control part 70 as detection signal TS.Control part 70 built-in analog/digital (A/D) translation circuits carry out analog/digital (A/D) conversion to the detection signal TS that is provided and obtain and the corresponding detected value of turbidity (magnitude of voltage).
Control part 70 offers the D/A translation circuit 85 of power supply circuit 71 and the D/A translation circuit 81 of element driving circuit 73 with pulse signal PS via node N1.Shown in the sequential chart of Figure 10, but pulse signal PS is fixed as the variable signal of 512 μ S T turn-on time the cycle.
The D/A translation circuit 85 of power supply circuit 71 is to the base stage output of transistor 86 and T correspondent voltage turn-on time of the pulse signal P S that provides from control part 70.In transistor 86, flow through and the corresponding electric current of exporting from D/A translation circuit 85 of voltage.Base stage to transistor 87 provides and the electric current correspondent voltage that flows through transistor 86.In transistor 87, flow through and the corresponding electric current of this base voltage.
In addition, the D/A translation circuit 81 of element driving circuit 73 is to the base stage output of transistor 82 and T correspondent voltage turn-on time of the pulse signal PS that provides from control part 70.In transistor 82, flow through and the corresponding electric current of exporting from D/A translation circuit 81 of voltage.Base stage to transistor 83 provides and the electric current correspondent voltage that flows through transistor 82.In transistor 83, flow through and the corresponding electric current of this base voltage.
When from the pulse signal PS of control part 70 turn-on time, T changed the time, change from the voltage of D/A translation circuit 85 outputs with from the voltage of D/A translation circuit 81 outputs, the electric current that flows through transistor 86 changes with the electric current that flows through transistor 82.Thus, the electric current that flows through transistor 87, light-emitting component 64a and transistor 83 changes.Thereby the luminous intensity of light-emitting component 64a changes, and the light income of photo detector 64b changes.Its result, the electric current that flows through photo detector 64b and resistance 84c, 84d changes, and the voltage of node N3 (magnitude of voltage of detection signal TS) changes.
Detect voltage commutation circuit 90 will output to transistor 92 from the detection signal KS of control part 70 outputs via resistance 91 base stage.The colelctor electrode of transistor 92 is connected with node N4, this node N4 be resistance 84c and and the resistance 84d that is connected in series of resistance 84c between node.The emitter stage of transistor 92 is connected with ground terminal.Output signal KS output 0V or 5V from control part 70.When output signal KS was 0V, transistor 92 was failure to actuate.At this moment, to become the current transformation that will flow through photo detector 64b through resistance 84c and resistance 84d be the value that voltage obtains to detection signal TS.In addition, when output signal KS is 5V, transistor 92 actions.Thus, the colelctor electrode of transistor 92 and the voltage between the emitter stage become 0V, so node N4 becomes the state that is connected with ground terminal.Thereby the current transformation that only will flow through photo detector 64b through resistance 84c is a voltage.
As stated, in cleaning step, be directed between light-emitting component 64a and the photo detector 64b to the washings that the 3rd stream Rc provides.At this, the light income with photo detector 64b before cleaning step is adjusted into a reference value (fixed value).Afterwards, when importing washings, the light income of photo detector 64b changes according to turbidity.Thus, the electric current that flows through node N3 changes, and the voltage of node N3 changes.That is to say, make rotation washer jet 3,4,7, fixedly during the cleaning of moving of cleaning injection equipment such as washer jet 5 before, will be adjusted into a reference value by turbidity detection portion 60 detected values, afterwards, clean according to the turbidity of washings.
In addition, be under 0 the situation, at T turn-on time from the voltage vanishing of D/A translation circuit 85 outputs from the pulse signal PS of control part 70.Thus, the transistor 86 of power supply circuit 71 ends, and transistor 87 ends.Thus, light-emitting component 64a closes.In this embodiment; In draining/water supply step as the step S1 of Fig. 4; Promptly in the concavity portion 631 of sensor housing 630, do not exist under the state of washings, by control part 70 be used to adjust pulse signal PS turn-on time T the output adjustment handle.
Figure 11 is the flow chart that output adjustment that expression is undertaken by control part 70 is handled.Shown in figure 11, control part 70 is set at n=0 (step S101) with the count value n of counter 70d.Then, T turn-on time of control part 70 pulse signal PS that memory 70b is stored is set at T=256 μ s (step S102).
Then, the detection voltage switching signal KS (step S103) of control part 70 output 5V judges whether the count value n of counter 70d is n=8 (step S104).Not (step S104: " denying ") under the situation of n=8 at the count value n of counter 70d, T turn-on time of pulse signal PS is made as T=256 μ s and output pulse signal (step S105).Afterwards, is set the time delay (step S106) of 60ms.This be for make control part 70 after the output pulse signal PS standby till detection signal TS is stable.
Then, control part 70 judge detection signal TS magnitude of voltage VTS (detection voltage) whether smaller or equal to a reference value V3+ Δ V (step S107) that is predetermined.For example, a reference value V3 is more than or equal to 3V and smaller or equal to 4V, Δ V as tolerance more than or equal to 0.1V and smaller or equal to 0.2V.Surpass at the magnitude of voltage VTS of detection signal TS under the situation of a reference value+tolerance (V3+ Δ V) that is predetermined (step S107: " denying "), the count value n of counter 70d is added 1 and be made as n=n+1 (step S108).Afterwards, T turn-on time with pulse signal PS is made as T=T-256/2 nμ s promptly, makes T turn-on time of pulse signal PS reduce 256/2 nμ s (step S 109).For example, when n=1,, therefore become T=256-128=128 μ s turn-on time because T turn-on time of pulse signal PS reduces 256/2=128 μ s.Afterwards, return step S 104.
On the other hand, under the situation of magnitude of voltage VTS smaller or equal to V3+ Δ V of detection signal TS (step S107: " being "), whether the magnitude of voltage VTS that judges detection signal TS is more than or equal to V3-Δ V (step S 110) in step S107.Under the situation of the magnitude of voltage VTS of detection signal TS (step S110: " denying "), the count value n of counter 70 is added 1 and be made as n=n+1 (step S111) less than a reference value-tolerance that is predetermined (V3-Δ V).Afterwards, T turn-on time with pulse signal PS is made as T=T+256/2 nμ s promptly, makes T turn-on time of pulse signal PS increase by 256/2 nμ s (step S112).For example, when current T turn-on time is 128 μ s and n=2, become T=128+256/4=192 μ s turn-on time of pulse signal PS.Afterwards, return step S 104.
Like this, according to step S107 and step S110, when the magnitude of voltage VTS of detection signal TS gets in the scope of a reference value ± tolerance (step S107: " being " and step S110: " being "), finish output adjustment processing.
At this, an example of above-mentioned steps is shown.A reference value is made as 3.6V and tolerance is made as 0.1V.The sequential chart of the example that the magnitude of voltage of the detection signal TS when Figure 12 is expression output adjustment processing changes.When the count value n of counter 70d was n=0, T turn-on time of pulse signal PS was T=256 μ s.
If be made as pulse signal P S turn-on time the detection signal TS during T=256 μ s magnitude of voltage VTS be 3.0V, then become the relation (step S110: " denying ") of 3.0<3.6 (a reference value)-0.1 (tolerance).Thereby, in step S111, establish n=1, increase T turn-on time of pulse signal PS.That is to say T=256+256/2=384 μ s in step S112.
If be made as pulse signal PS turn-on time the detection signal TS during T=384 μ s magnitude of voltage VTS be 4.0V, then become the relation (step S107: " denying ") of 4.0>3.6 (a reference value)+0.1 (tolerance).Thereby, in step S 108, establish n=2, reduce T turn-on time of pulse signal PS.That is to say, in step S109, T=384-256/4=320 μ s.
If be made as pulse signal P S turn-on time the detection signal TS during T=320 μ s magnitude of voltage VTS be 3.8V, then become the relation (step S107: " denying ") of 3.8>3.6 (a reference value)+0.1 (tolerance).Thereby, further reduce T turn-on time of pulse signal PS.That is, in step S108, establish n=3, reduce T turn-on time of pulse signal PS.That is to say, in step S109, T=320-256/8=288 μ s.
If be made as pulse signal P S turn-on time the detection signal TS during T=288 μ s magnitude of voltage VTS be 3.55V, then get into the scope (step S107: " being " and step S110: " being ") of 3.6V ± 0.1.Thus, finishing the output adjustment handles.In addition, till changing T turn-on time, be provided with the time delay of 60ms next time, so compare with reference voltage after can becoming stable value at the voltage of detection signal TS from T turn-on time that changes pulse signal PS.
On the other hand, when the count value n of counter 70d is n=8 in step S104 (step S104: " being "), judges and detect whether voltage switching signal KS is 5V (step S113).Detecting under the situation that voltage switching signal KS is 5V (step S113: " being "), the count value n of counter 70d is being set at n=0 (step S114).Afterwards, will detect voltage switching signal KS and be made as 0V (step S115).Thus, transistor 92 becomes and ends, and can access the voltage of detection signal TS according to the relation between resistance 84c and the resistance 84d.For example, when the electric current that will flow through photo detector 64b be made as 1.5mA and with resistance 84c be made as 2K Ω, when resistance 84d is made as 0 Ω, the voltage of detection signal TS is 1.5 * 2=3.0V.When resistance 84c is made as 2K Ω, when resistance 84d is made as 1k Ω, the voltage of detection signal TS is 1.5 * (2+1)=4.5V, can detection signal TS be amplified, even therefore also can export adjustment detecting under the lower situation of voltage.Consider the deviation of optical sensor 64, deterioration all the year round, the resistance value of resistance 84c, 84d is redefined for the resistance value that can detection signal TS be adjusted into reference voltage.
Figure 13 be the indicating impulse signal turn-on time T and the voltage of detection signal TS between the curve map of relation.Consider the voltage of detection signal TS by the situation of resistance 84c decision, promptly to detect voltage switching signal KS be the situation of 5V.Under the less situation of the resistance value of resistance 84c, though make pulse signal TS turn-on time T near 512 maximum μ s, the voltage of detection signal TS do not reach yet a reference value (Figure 13 a).On the contrary, under the bigger situation of the resistance value of resistance 84c, when T turn-on time that makes pulse signal TS became big, the voltage of detection signal TS was saturated halfway, even change detection signal TS turn-on time can not change yet (c of Figure 13).For example, if the turn-on time of pulse signal detection signal TS during T=120 μ s voltage become about 5V, then when carrying out above-mentioned output adjustment and handle, adjust T turn-on time in need be during 0 to 120 μ s.Under the situation of resistance value the best (b of Figure 13), can in the scope of 0 to 512 μ s, adjust T turn-on time.Yet, aforesaid must be during 0 to 120 μ s in the situation of adjustment T turn-on time compare with the situation of the best, need adjust with the accuracy of 120/512=about 1/4.That is, generation can't be adjusted the situation of detection signal TS in the scope of a reference value ± tolerance.Certainly, if establish tolerance more greatly then can adjust, but the detection accuracy variation of dirty degree in this case.
In this embodiment, be provided with one and detect voltage switching signal KS, but, adjust the voltage of detection signal TS more easily through a plurality of detection voltage switching signal KS are set.When a plurality of detection voltage switching signal KS is set, owing to the characteristic of the parts of light-emitting component 64a, photo detector 64b, deviation, also can adjust when dirt, water droplet, the steam of deterioration, the washings inner surface that is attached to concavity portion 631 causes that detection signal reduces all the year round.
On the other hand, in the flow chart of Figure 11, in the time will detecting voltage switching signal KS and be set at 0V (step S115), likewise carry out the adjustment of step S105 to step S112 with above-mentioned.Under situation about can't adjust owing to light-emitting component 64a, photo detector 64b break down, the circuit block of optical sensor 64 breaks down, the count value of counter 70d is that n=8 (step S104: " being ") and detection voltage switching signal KS are 0V (step S113: " denying ").Carry out abnormality detection (step S 116) this moment, finish adjustment.In addition, in this case, control part 70 is regarded as the dirty degree of washings and carries out later action greatly.That is to say that control part 70 also can't be regarded as turbidity detection portion 60 and detect maximum turbidity being adjusted under the situation of a reference value by turbidity detection portion 60 detected values making to move as the detection voltage commutation circuit 90 that detects the voltage switching part.
Figure 14 is the curve map of the relation between the voltage of turbidity and detection signal TS of expression washings.Solid line representes to detect the situation that the voltage switching signal is 5V, and dotted line representes to detect the situation that the voltage switching signal is 0V.Voltage with detection signal TS before cleaning is adjusted into a reference value ± tolerance.Afterwards, when cleaning, reduce under the situation of turbidity of the washings when judging washing according to the voltage of detection signal TS, no matter detecting the voltage switching signal is 0V or 5V, and the voltage of detection signal TS all likewise changes.That is, with the value of resistance value 84c, 84d irrespectively, as long as before cleaning, the voltage of detection signal TS is adjusted in the scope of a reference value ± tolerance, just also can detect the turbidity of washings with identical accuracy.In addition, in cleaning step and rinse step, has pulse signal PS through output adjustment processing adjusted turn-on time of T from control part 70 outputs.
At this, because there is deviation in the characteristic of light-emitting component 64a and photo detector 64b, if therefore T turn-on time of pulse signal PS is fixed, even then the turbidity of washings is identical, the magnitude of voltage of detection signal TS can be not identical yet.Therefore, can't correctly detect the turbidity of washings.
Therefore, when using dish cleaning machine 1, all handle T turn-on time that adjusts pulse signal PS through the output adjustment in advance at every turn make that the magnitude of voltage of detection signal TS is consistent with a reference value V3.Thus, can eliminate because the magnitude of voltage deviation of the caused detection signal TS of characteristic of light-emitting component 64a and photo detector 64b.
In addition, all the year round under the situation of deterioration, if T turn-on time of pulse signal PS is fixed, even then the turbidity of washings is identical, the magnitude of voltage of detection signal TS is also different at light-emitting component 64a and photo detector 64b.Therefore, can't correctly detect the turbidity of washings.In this case, also can eliminate the magnitude of voltage deviation of the caused detection signal TS of deterioration all the year round by light-emitting component 64a and photo detector 64b.
And because the use of dish cleaning machine 1, the concavity portion 631 of sensor housing 630 is attached with dirt sometimes.As the dirt of concavity portion 631, the pigment dirt that enumerate out dirt that the oil that comprised by food materials forms, forms by dark food materials such as currys and be included in formed dirts of hard water composition (so-called incrustation scale) such as calcium in the washings etc.Thus, have in concavity portion 631 under the situation of dirt, the magnitude of voltage of detection signal TS and concavity portion 631 are that the situation of clean state is compared to some extent and changed.
Therefore, handle, compensate variation by the magnitude of voltage of the caused detection signal TS of the dirt of concavity portion 631 through exporting adjustment under the state that in the concavity portion 631 of sensor housing 630, does not have washings.Thus, even have under the situation of dirt, also can correctly discern the turbidity of washings in the concavity portion 631 of sensor housing 630.

(10) effect
(10-a) like this, in this embodiment, adjust in the draining/water supply process that carries out before during cleaning so that fix by the magnitude of voltage of the detection signal of the light income decision of photo detector 64b.The luminous quantity of control part 70 adjustment light-emitting component 64a makes the voltage (a reference value) that is become regulation by the magnitude of voltage of the detection signal of photo detector 64b decision.Its result; Even since light-emitting component 64a, photo detector 64b all the year round deterioration or sensor housing 630 all the year round deterioration, be included in the adhering to of dirt in the washings and the light income of photo detector 64b reduces; Also can be through increasing the luminous quantity of light-emitting component 64a, come will be adjusted into a reference value by the voltage of the detection signal of the light income decision of photo detector 64b at each start of run.Therefore, can correctly detect the turbidity of washings for a long time.Therefore in addition, owing to adjusted before during cleaning, water droplet can not take place yet, steam is attached to turbidity detection portion and makes turbidity detect the situation that accuracy reduces.Thereby, pinpoint accuracy and suitably carry out and be cleaned the dirty degree corresponding cleaning of thing for a long time.
In addition; Even reduce owing to light-emitting component 64a, the further deterioration of photo detector 64b and dirt further adhere to the light income that causes photo detector 64b; Detect voltage switching signal KS through being provided with; Even at the voltage of detection signal TS under the lower and situation that also can't adjust through the luminous quantity that increases light-emitting component 64a, also can be through amplifying and be adjusted into a reference value to detecting voltage.Therefore, pinpoint accuracy and suitably carry out and be cleaned the dirty degree corresponding cleaning of thing for a long time.
In addition; Following situation is regarded as unusual and sets the cleaning condition when detecting maximum turbidity:, also can't the voltage of detection signal TS be adjusted into a reference value even increase the luminous quantity of light-emitting component 64a because optical sensor 64 breaks down and detection voltage is amplified through detecting voltage switching signal KS.Thus, can remove the dirt that is cleaned thing fully.
(10-b) like this, in this embodiment, in step S61, cleaning minimum voltage V1 in the cleaning step and setting A1 are compared.V1 is lower than under the situation of setting A1 at the cleaning minimum voltage, and the turbidity that is judged as washings is high.In this case, it is big to be judged as the turbidity that is cleaned thing 10.
On the other hand, when the testing conditions of optical sensor 64 not simultaneously, even the turbidity of washings is identical, the magnitude of voltage of detection signal TS also can create a difference.Therefore, have following situation: be higher than setting A1 although clean minimum voltage V1, in fact the turbidity of washings is higher.In addition, the testing conditions of optical sensor 64 comprise characteristic, the optical sensor 64 of light-emitting component 64a and photo detector 64b component-assembled property, sensor housing 630 concavity portion 631 dirty degree, supply with the supply condition of cleaning solutions etc. to the concavity portion 631 of sensor housing 630.
In this embodiment, can handle that the testing conditions of optical sensor 64 is fixed through the output adjustment.Yet, be attached at water droplet under the state of concavity portion 631 of sensor housing 630, because water droplet and light generation diffuse reflection or disperse, the magnitude of voltage step-down of detection signal TS thus.When the output adjustment of under this state, carrying out step S11 was handled, the luminous intensity that T turn-on time of pulse signal PS is adjusted to light-emitting component 64a was higher than the luminous intensity of under the state that does not have the water droplet influence, exporting the situation of adjusting processing.
In this case, the magnitude of voltage of the detection signal TS in cleaning step and the rinse step with under the state that does not have the water droplet influence, export situation that adjustment handles and compare relatively and uprise.Thus, although in fact the turbidity of washings is higher, cleans minimum voltage V1 and also be higher than setting A1.
In addition, in this embodiment, in cleaning step, in the temperature of the washings of the inner loop of sink 2 is maintained at more than or equal to setting T3 and the scope smaller or equal to setting T2.In this case, through suitably setting setting T2, T3, can remove the dirt that is cleaned thing 10 that is difficult at low temperatures remove fully.Be difficult to the dirt removed at low temperatures, for example enumerate out greasy dirts such as butter or lard.
In addition, in cleaning step, with the minimum magnitude of voltage of detection signal TS as cleaning minimum voltage V1.Thus, in the turbidity that is cleaned thing 10 is judged, can not use and be difficult at low temperatures from being cleaned dirt that thing 10 removes etc. not by the turbidity of the cleaning solution under the state of removing fully.Thereby, prevent to judge by error the turbidity that is cleaned thing 10.
In addition, as stated,, can remove the dirt that is cleaned thing 10 fully through the temperature of washings being adjusted in the scope of regulation.Therefore, also can in the scope of the temperature of washings being adjusted to regulation, begin to utilize afterwards optical sensor 64 to detect turbidities.

In addition, can adjust the time of rinse step for the second time according to the turbidity of the washings in the turbidity of the washings in the cleaning step and the rinse step for the first time.In this case, be judged as under the big situation of the turbidity that is cleaned thing 10, the time of rinse step is adjusted into longlyer with the second time, is being judged as under the little situation of the turbidity that is cleaned thing 10, and the time of rinse step is adjusted into shorter with the second time.
In addition, be cleaned the turbidity of thing 10, then also can be only carry out the control of the action after the rinse step for the first time according to the difference of the turbidity of the washings in the turbidity of the washings in the cleaning step and the rinse step for the first time if can judge rightly.In addition, in the above-described embodiment, detect the turbidity of the washings in the turbidity of the washings in the cleaning steps and the rinse step for the first time by optical sensor 64, but can regularly detect the turbidity of washings at other.
For example; Detect the turbidity of the washings in the rinse step for the first time and the turbidity of the washings in the rinse step for the second time, can control the action after the rinse step for the second time according to the difference of the turbidity of the washings in the turbidity of the washings in the first time rinse step and the rinse step for the second time.In this case, under the situation that for example difference of the turbidity of the washings in the turbidity of the washings in first time rinse step and the rinse step for the second time is bigger, can carry out rinse step for the third time.In addition, consider that also the turbidity of the washings in the rinse step second time is higher than the situation of the turbidity of the washings in the rinse step first time.In this case, become clean through carrying out for the third time rinse step or carry out cleaning step once more, can make reliably to be cleaned thing 10.
In addition, in this embodiment, have cleaning step and rinse step during the cleaning, can also have drying steps.In addition, also can during cleaning, only implement cleaning step, rinse step or drying steps.In addition, in the dish cleaning machine operation process, can will be adjusted into a reference value by the detected value of turbidity detection portion from as the rotation washer jet of washings injection equipment or fixedly before the washer jet jet cleaning water.
