The application discloses a door lock device, a washing
machine and a control method, the door lock device comprising a lock hook mechanism, the lock hook mechanism comprising: a lock seat; a lock hook piece rotatably arranged in the lock seat to open or lock the door lock; and a position detection bracket, a middle part of the position detection bracket being rotatably arranged on the lock seat, one end of the position detection bracket being in position limiting cooperation with the lock hook piece, and the other end of the position detection bracket being provided with a detected terminal. The washing
machine is provided with the door lock device between an inner drum and an inner drum door; whether the lock hook mechanism is locked in place is judged by detecting the position of the detected terminal by a
position sensor. Under the action of the position detection bracket, the position of the lock hook piece changes slightly, the displacement of the end of the detected terminal is amplified by several times, the
position sensor can more easily identify the position of the lock hook piece, and whether the door lock device is locked in place can be more accurately and efficiently judged, the detection accuracy is improved, and the safety of the washing
machine operation is ensured.
