Dishwasher and method for controlling thereof

Abstract

A dishwasher includes a body including an opening through which an object to be washed is loaded, a door to be connected with one side of the body and while the door is connected to the one side of the body, the door selectively opens and closes the body, a driving device that drives the door to be selectively opened on the body, a memory to store at least one instruction, and at least one processor configured to execute the at least one instruction, and control the driving device such that the door is opened in relation to a drying cycle, wherein the at least one processor is configured to obtain an operation state of a heating device around the dishwasher, and based on opening of the door being necessary, adjust a time point of opening the door in relation to the drying cycle based on the obtained operation state.

         2 . The dishwasher of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
 determine the time point at which the driving device is to drive the door to be after a predetermined time from a time point obtained based on a temperature inside the body reaching a predetermined temperature, and control the driving device such that the driving device drives the door to open at the determined time point, and 
 based on identifying that the heating device is in operation at the time point, delay the determined time point of opening the door. 
   
     
     
         3 . The dishwasher of  claim 2 ,
 wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
 based on identifying that the time point at which the driving device is to drive the door was delayed and the operation of the heating device having ended, determine the time point to be after the operation of the heating device has ended. 
   
     
     
         4 . The dishwasher of  claim 3 ,
 wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
 based on identifying that the time point at which the driving device is to drive the door was delayed and the operation of the heating device ended, proceed with a reheating cycle that makes the temperature inside the body to reach the predetermined temperature, and control the driving device such that the driving device drives the door to open after the predetermined time passes after proceeding with the reheating cycle. 
   
     
     
         5 . The dishwasher of  claim 2 , wherein the predetermined temperature is a first temperature, and
 wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
 based on the time point at which the driving device is to drive the door being delayed and the temperature inside the body becoming lower than a second temperature lower than the first temperature, proceed with a reheating cycle such that the temperature inside the body reaches the first temperature. 
   
     
     
         6 . The dishwasher of  claim 2 , wherein the predetermined temperature is a first temperature, and
 wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
 based on the time point at which the driving device is to drive the door being delayed and the temperature inside the body becoming lower than a second temperature lower than the first temperature, control the driving device such that the driving device drives the door to open. 
   
     
     
         7 . The dishwasher of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
 identify whether the heating device operates before entering the drying cycle, and based on identifying that the heating device is operating, delay proceeding with the drying cycle until the operation of the heating device is stopped. 
   
     
     
         8 . The dishwasher of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a communication device configured to perform communication with an external device,   wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
 obtain the operation state of the heating device through the heating device or a server connected with the heating device. 
   
     
     
         9 . The dishwasher of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a temperature sensor located in an upper part of the body,   wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
 obtain the operation state of the heating device based on temperature information identified at the temperature sensor. 
   
     
     
         10 . The dishwasher of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a speaker,   wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
 based on the door being opened or the time point of opening being delayed, control the speaker to provide notification information related to opening of the door. 
   
     
     
         11 . A control method for a dishwasher including a body configured to allow an object to be washed to be loaded and a door configured to open and to close the body, the control method comprising:
 obtaining an operation state of a heating device around the dishwasher;   obtaining a time point at which the door is to open in relation to a drying cycle of the dishwasher based on the obtained operation state; and   controlling opening of the door based on the obtained time point of opening the door.   
     
     
         12 . The control method of  claim 11 ,
 wherein the obtaining the time point at which the door is to open comprises:
 based on the heating device not operating, determining the time point at which the door is to be open to be after a predetermined time from a time point obtained based on a temperature inside the body reaching a predetermined temperature; and 
 based on the heating device operating, determining a time point that is delayed more than a first time from the time point based on the predetermined temperature being reached. 
   
     
     
         13 . The control method of  claim 12 ,
 wherein the obtaining the time point at which the door is to be open comprises:
 based on identifying that the time point at which the door is to be open was delayed and the operation of the heating device ended, determining a time point after the time point based on the operation of the heating device having ended. 
   
     
     
         14 . The control method of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 based on identifying that the time point at which the door is to be open was delayed and the operation of the heating device having ended, proceeding with a reheating cycle that makes the temperature inside the body reach the predetermined temperature,   wherein the opening the door comprises:
 opening the door after proceeding with the reheating cycle. 
   
     
     
         15 . At least one non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing at least one computer instruction executable individually or collectively by at least one processor of a dishwasher, which includes a body configured to allow an object to be washed to be loaded and a door configured to selectively open the body, to cause the dishwasher perform a control method,
 wherein the control method comprises:
 obtaining an operation state of a heating device around the dishwasher; 
 obtaining a time point at which the door is to open in relation to a drying cycle of the dishwasher based on the obtained operation state; and 
 controlling opening of the door based on the obtained time point of opening the door.
