Problems solved by technology

When the washing machine is in normal use, the condition of the interlayer between the inner and outer drums cannot be observed, so the user has great blindness when to start the self-cleaning program
If the user starts the self-cleaning program too frequently, since the self-cleaning program itself requires electricity and water, but does not produce any benefits, it will cause unnecessary waste of water and electricity resources
Laundry can become soiled if too long between user-activated self-cleaning programs
[0007] Another problem is that since the self-cleaning program itself does not detect the effect of self-cleaning, after the self-cleaning program is completed, if there is still dirt, it may still pollute the clothes

Embodiment Construction

[0027] The first embodiment of the present invention provides a method for initiating a self-cleaning program using a dirtiness sensor of a washing machine.

[0028] The method utilizes the turbidity sensor installed in the washing machine to obtain the conditions for starting the self-cleaning program. The turbidity sensor is applied to the washing machine to detect the degree of turbidity of the water discharged during the rinsing process. The washing machine can perform rinsing according to the actual degree of dirtiness of the clothes. The times of rinsing are less for cleaner clothes, and more times for dirty clothes.

[0029] Please see figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the installation position of the turbidity sensor in the drum-type washing machine. figure 1 The shell 1, the outer tub 2, the inner tub 3, and the turbidity sensor 4 of the washing machine are shown in the figure. From figure 1 It can be seen from the figure that the turbidity sensor is loca...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for determining to start a washing machine automatic cleaning program, which comprises the following steps: an initial value of muddy degree is set for the washing machine; afterwards, every time before or after washing, when the water drainage pipe has no water, the detected value of a muddy degree sensor is recorded as the current value of muddy degree; when the difference of the current value of muddy degree and the initial value of muddy degree is more than the preset threshold of starting the automatic cleaning program, the startup of the automatic cleaning program is determined; the user is reminded to start the automatic cleaning program of the machine starts the automatic cleaning program automatically. Compared with the prior art, the device uses the muddy degree sensor that the prior full automatic washing machines are commonly equipped with to obtain the changes of the detected value of the muddy degree sensor, and the changes are considered as the determining conditions for the need of starting the automatic cleaning program. Through the method, no device needs to be added for the washing machine, so that quite accurate determination results can be obtained, and the automatic cleaning program can be started appropriately.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to washing machine technology, in particular to a determination method for starting a self-cleaning program of a washing machine. Background technique [0002] Washing machine is an essential household appliance in the family. General family all uses the fully automatic washing machine with stronger degree of automation at present. [0003] Fully automatic washing machines include pulsator washing machines and drum washing machines. The washing tubs of the above two washing machines are composed of two cylinders, an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder. The inner cylinder is a perforated cylinder, the outer cylinder is a water storage cylinder, the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder are coaxial, and the inner cylinder is rotated by the motor through the shaft. The pulsator washing machine spins and dries the clothes by rotating the inner cylinder; the drum washing machine washes and dries the clothes by rotating the inner cyl...
