Problems solved by technology

[0002] The control panel of the drum washing machine is mostly installed on the facade of the washing machine box, especially the drum washing machine embedded in the wall. The control panel can only be installed on the exposed facade, but it is limited to the height of the washing machine. When in use, the operation Personnel cannot directly look at the setting content on the control panel, and need to bend down or squat down, which brings inconvenience to users
For this reason, the Chinese patent application number 02156574.0 discloses a control panel with an adjustable inclination angle applied to a drum washing machine. In this scheme, the user can manually adjust the angle of the control panel according to the situation, and the angle of the control panel It is fixed by the ball brake device. Due to the limitation of the ball brake device, the inclination angle of the control panel can only be divided into gears, and the inclination angle of the control panel cannot be accurately positioned according to the human body data of different users. At the same time, a ball positioning groove is required. To cooperate with the brake, making the mechanical mechanism more complicated

Embodiment 1

[0051] see image 3 , Figure 7 with Figure 8 ,in Figure 7 with Figure 8 The straight line with the arrow in the middle is the light path. In order to realize that the control panel can intelligently and accurately adjust the inclination angle of the control panel according to different users, the human body induction detector described in this embodiment also includes an adaptive control device. The device detects the human body data signal and sends it to the control center unit. The control center calculates the tilt angle of the matching control panel based on the human body data signal alone, and controls the driving device to drive the control panel 2 to tilt to the matching angle.

[0052] The adaptive control device described in this embodiment preferably includes an infrared height measuring instrument 41, and the infrared height measuring instrument 41 includes a human body infrared receiving device and an imaging device. When the user approaches the washing m...

Embodiment 2

[0060] see Figure 4 , Figure 9 with Figure 10 ,in Figure 9 with Figure 10 The straight line with the arrow in the middle is the light path. Compared with Embodiment 1, the adaptive control device described in this embodiment preferably includes a camera 42, and the camera 42 captures the facial information of the user and sends it to the control center unit. The camera device 42 can be set on the washing machine box. At that time, because the control panel will have a certain angle difference with the camera device during the tilting process, the captured user's face information will not accurately correspond to the problem of the control panel. Therefore, in this implementation In this method, the camera device is placed on the control panel and tilted along with the control panel, which avoids errors caused by different angles with the control panel.

[0061] Based on the camera device 42, this embodiment provides a method for adjusting the control panel of the wash...

Abstract

The invention discloses a washing machine capable of automatically adjusting control panel angle, which comprises a box body of the washing machine and a control panel arranged on the box body, wherein a driving device for adjusting visual angle of the control panel is further arranged on the box body, and is connected with a control center unit; the control center unit is connected with a human body induction detector, and receives and processes an induction signal of the human body induction detector to control the action of the driving device, so as to realize the automatic adjustment of the control panel angle and facilitate the use and operation of users. In addition, the invention further discloses an adjusting method of the control panel, which can be used for effectively and intelligently adjusting the angle of the control panel and can be realized easily.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the automatic control of the control panel of a washing machine, in particular to a control panel capable of automatically adjusting the inclination angle and convenient for personnel to use and an adjustment method. Background technique [0002] The control panel of the drum washing machine is mostly installed on the facade of the washing machine box, especially the drum washing machine embedded in the wall. The control panel can only be installed on the exposed facade, but it is limited to the height of the washing machine. When in use, the operation Personnel cannot directly look at the setting content on the control panel, and need to bend over or squat down, which brings inconvenience to the user. For this reason, the Chinese patent application number 02156574.0 discloses a control panel with an adjustable inclination angle applied to a drum washing machine. In this scheme, the user can manually adjust the angle of the con...
