The invention belongs to the technical field of household appliances, and discloses washing equipment and a control method thereof.The washing equipment comprises an outer box body, an outer
barrel, a washing
barrel and a
silt collecting device, and the outer
barrel is arranged in the outer box body in a swinging mode; the washing barrel is rotatably arranged in the outer barrel, and the rotating axis of the washing barrel does not coincide with the swinging axis of the outer barrel; the
sediment collecting device is detachably arranged in the outer barrel and located at the lowest point in the swinging process of the outer barrel. In the washing process, the washing barrel rotates in the outer barrel, meanwhile, the outer barrel swings in a reciprocating mode in the outer box body, washed objects in the washing barrel are turned over by an angle, all-directional washing is achieved,
silt is gathered to the lowest point in the washing process and collected through the
silt collecting device at the lowest point, the silt in the equipment is effectively removed, and the washing ratio is increased. According to the control method, the
sediment amount is obtained by detecting the
sediment particles and the sediment weight in the washing process and after washing is finished, the sediment is cleaned in time, and the use experience feeling is improved.
