Drum-type washing machine and door opening control method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of household appliances, and in particular relates to a drum-type washing machine and a door opening control method thereof. The drum-type washing machine comprises a tank body and an outer barrel arranged in the tank body as well as a water storage device and a controller, wherein the outer barrel and the water storage device are communicated by virtue of a pipeline, and a water drainage control device connected with the controller is arranged on the pipeline and can control washing water to be circulated between the outer barrel and the water storage device under the control of the controller. Namely when a user adds clothing into the washing machine in a clothing washing process, water in the outer barrel can be temporarily placed into the water storage device, and then the water in the water storage device circulates back to the outer barrel after the clothing is placed and a door body of the washing machine is closed. The washing machine provided by the invention can shorten the waiting time required for opening a door, the clothing can be added in the washing process, convenience and efficiency can be realized, and the waste of water and electricity due to secondary washing of the clothing missed can be avoided.
