Abstract: Provided are a heat collecting pump and a washing appliance. The heat collecting pump includes: a housing defining an accommodation cavity and having a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, and a mounting opening; a heating device and a flow guiding element that are disposed in the accommodation cavity; a drive device connected to the housing and configured to drive a fluid to flow from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet. The flow guiding element has an inner wall defining a fluid inlet channel in communication with the fluid inlet. A fluid discharge channel is defined between an outer wall of the flow guiding element and an inner wall of the accommodation cavity, and is in communication with the fluid inlet channel and the fluid outlet, respectively. The flow guiding element has a flow guiding portion configured to guide a fluid in the fluid discharge channel towards the fluid outlet.

Abstract: A device for detecting electrical impedance by utilizing a theory of excitation and response signals and method thereof, wherein the excitation signal is a square wave excitation current signal (1), the response signal on a target is transformed to a square wave signal with appropriate amplitudes by buffering, amplifying, RC filtering and differential amplifying, then is transformed to a digital signal at a proper time by an analog-to-digital converter. The response signal is sampled once when at high level and once when at low level for every circle by the ADC, and a sample V1 and a sample V2 are obtained respectively, difference of the samples is taken as a detecting result for one circle. An average value of the detecting result from a plurality of circles is taken as a final result. Information of electrical impedance is illustrated by the final result because the excitation current signal is constant.
