Temperature sensor for dishwasher

Dishwashers play a very important role in daily life, greatly facilitating people’s lives, saving time, and improving the quality of life. The normal operation of a dishwasher relies on the sensing and monitoring of sensors. Sensors such as water temperature, water level, and turbidity work together to ensure that the dishwasher can function properly.
Among them, the temperature sensor, an important component inside the dishwasher, is a device used to detect the water temperature inside the dishwasher. If the temperature sensor malfunctions, it may cause the dishwasher to malfunction.

Specifically, the malfunction of the temperature sensor may be due to the following reasons:
1. Damaged temperature sensor: During the use of the dishwasher, if the temperature sensor is damaged, it will cause the dishwasher to be unable to accurately detect the water temperature, thus preventing it from working properly.
2. Poor contact of temperature sensor: If the wiring of the temperature sensor is poorly connected or loose, it may cause the dishwasher to malfunction.
3. Dishwasher circuit board malfunction: If the circuit board of the dishwasher malfunctions, it may cause the dishwasher to malfunction.

If the temperature sensor of the dishwasher is damaged, it should be replaced in a timely manner. When selecting a sensor, the resistance specifications, connector type, wire length, and other parameters of the sensor must be consistent to ensure that the replaced sensor can function properly.

Temperature sensor plays an important role in the washing machine

Temperature sensors play a crucial role in washing machines and are one of the important sensing components inside the machine. By sensing the changes in the internal water temperature of the washing machine, the signal is fed back to the control unit of the washing machine. The control unit changes the operating status of the washing machine based on the received signal, thereby achieving temperature control required for different functions of the washing machine. It not only helps the washing machine achieve automatic control, but also adjusts the water temperature according to different washing needs, ensuring that clothes can be properly cleaned and cared for. Washing machine temperature sensors usually use thermistor sensors to sense changes in water temperature, convert the changes into electrical signals, and output them to the main control board of the washing machine, ultimately achieving temperature control of the washing machine.

The temperature sensor of the washing machine has the following functions:
1. Avoid damaging clothing with high water temperature.
2. In washing machines with functions such as heating, drying, and disinfection, temperature sensors provide temperature measurement, controlling water temperature, hot air temperature for drying clothes, and air temperature for disinfection to ensure optimal cleaning and care effects.

The washing machine temperature sensors produced by Dongguan GuandeSensor have a variety of types and complete specifications. By using a highly sensitive thermistor sensor, it can sense the subtle temperature changes of the washing machine and control the water temperature according to different washing conditions, thus achieving temperature control of intelligent washing machines

The important part of the charge seat-temperature sensor

The Principle of NTC Temperature Sensors

Have you ever used a temperature sensor? Do you know how temperature sensors work? Now let’s discuss the principle of temperature sensors

NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) temperature sensors are vital components used in various electronic devices and systems to measure temperature accurately. The principle behind NTC temperature sensors lies in their electrical resistance, which decreases as temperature rises.

The NTC temperature sensor is composed of a special element called an NTC thermistor, which is a resistance element that can change the resistance value according to temperature changes. NTC thermistors are made of conductive ceramics or thermoplastic plastics and have a strong electric heating effect. As the temperature increases, the resistance value of  NTC thermistor will also increase, and as the temperature decreases, its resistance value will also decrease. Therefore, NTC thermistors can convert temperature changes into resistance value changes, thereby obtaining temperature information.

At the heart of an NTC temperature sensor is a thermistor, typically made of a semiconductor material such as ceramic or polymer. As temperature changes, the conductivity of the semiconductor material changes accordingly, resulting in a corresponding change in resistance.

This unique characteristic allows NTC temperature sensors to provide precise temperature measurements across a wide range of applications, from automotive engines and home appliances to medical devices and industrial processes.

By harnessing the principle of NTC temperature sensors, engineers and designers can develop innovative solutions that enhance efficiency, reliability, and safety in various industries, ultimately improving the quality of our daily lives.

What is a temperature sensor?

A temperature sensor is a device that measures the degree of hotness or coldness of an object (or substance). A temperature sensor that can convert changes in temperature into changes in electrical quantities (voltage, current, impedance, etc.) is called a temperature sensor. Its working principle is to use the different physical properties of various materials to convert temperature into electrical quantities.

Temperature sensors have three stages of development: traditional discrete temperature sensors, analog integrated temperature sensors, and intelligent temperature sensors. Currently, new types of temperature sensors worldwide are moving from analog to digital, from integration to intelligence, and to networking.
Commonly used temperature sensors include thermistor temperature sensors, resistance temperature detector (RTD) sensors, thermocouple temperature sensors, and semiconductor-based temperature sensors.

Thermistor temperature sensors: The resistance value of a thermistor changes with temperature. According to the different temperature coefficients, they are divided into positive temperature coefficient thermistors (PTC) and negative temperature coefficient thermistors (NTC). The resistance value of PTC thermistors increases with temperature, while that of NTC thermistors decreases with temperature. They both belong to semiconductor devices and are widely used in various electronic components.

Resistance temperature sensors (RTD): RTD sensors are used to measure temperature. They can convert temperature into changes in resistance values, and are commonly used in PT100, PT1000, copper thermal resistance temperature sensors, etc., and are widely used in industrial automation, medical equipment, automotive electronics, and other fields.

Thermocouple temperature sensors: Thermocouple temperature sensors use the thermoelectric effect to measure temperature.

Semiconductor-based temperature sensors: Semiconductor-based temperature sensors are usually integrated into integrated circuits (ICs). These sensors use two identical diodes that have temperature-sensitive voltage and current characteristics to monitor changes in temperature. They can be divided into local temperature sensors and remote digital temperature sensors.
