Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the washing machine is different from other IoT products. The washing machine has certain safety issues and practical use problems in the work. When the smart terminal remotely controls the washing machine, it will not always check the washing status of the washing machine through the smart terminal after the control command is issued. After the washing machine executes the user's instructions, the conventional method in the prior art is to directly control the washing machine to unlock and open the door. However, this method is suitable when the user is at home, and when the user is not at home, the washing machine is unlocked and opened. Prevent the washing machine or the peculiar smell of clothes from directly popping the door open. When the user wants to control the washing machine again, the door lock of the washing machine has been unlocked, and the user cannot know the status information of the washing machine. At this time, the smart terminal should not send control commands to the washing machine. , otherwise there will be security risks
Therefore, after the door of the washing machine is opened, the user of the smart terminal can no longer control the washing machine. This control scheme limits the control range of the user, and the user experience is not good.
On the other hand, after the washing process of the washing machine is over, the washing machine is not unlocked and waits for the user to input a control command. However, the user has not controlled the washing machine, and the clothes are always in a state of entanglement, and the clothes are easy to wrinkle, and the user experience is poor.

Embodiment 1

[0052] Embodiment 1 provides a method for controlling a washing machine. The washing machine communicates with an intelligent terminal. The washing machine has a work-at-home mode and a work-out mode. When the washing machine switches to the work-out mode, the washing machine keeps the door locked and waits after the washing process is completed. The smart terminal sends a control command, and when the washing machine switches to the work-at-home mode, the washing machine unlocks the door after the washing process is completed.

[0053] In the above scheme, a more reasonable and safe design is made for the field of remote control of the washing machine by the smart terminal. The design of the washing machine includes the home working mode and the going out working mode. It facilitates the use of the user, prevents the clothes from being wrinkled, and prevents the remote user from being unable to further control the washing machine after the washing is finished due to direct unl...

Embodiment 2

[0083] Embodiment 2 provides a laundry system using the washing machine control method in Embodiment 1 above, including:

[0084] The smart terminal communicates with the cloud server, receives user input control instructions, and generates instructions for controlling the washing machine to switch working modes according to its communication connection with the washing machine, and sends them to the cloud server;

[0085] The cloud server communicates with the washing machine and the smart terminal respectively, and is used for processing and forwarding information between the smart terminal and the washing machine;

[0086] The washing machine is provided with a networking unit and a control unit, the networking unit communicates with the cloud server, and the control unit controls the washing machine to enter a corresponding working mode according to an instruction to switch working modes sent by the smart terminal.

[0087] The control unit of the washing machine is the co...

Embodiment 3

[0091] see figure 2 As shown, embodiment three provides an optimal washing machine control method applied to the laundry system in embodiment two, including the following steps:

[0092] S101, the washing machine executes the laundry process and ends;

[0093] S102. The washing machine sends a request for obtaining location information of the smart terminal to the smart terminal;

[0094] S103. After receiving the request, the smart terminal queries the SDK to obtain the networking information of the washing machine, and judges whether it is in the same local area network as the washing machine according to the networking information, and generates an instruction for controlling the washing machine to switch the working mode according to the judgment result and sends it to the washing machine;

[0095] S104. The washing machine is controlled to enter a corresponding working mode after receiving the instruction.

[0096] In step S103, the smart terminal judges according to t...

Abstract

The invention discloses a washing machine control method and a clothes washing system. A washing machine is in communication connection with an intelligent terminal, and includes an at-home work modeand an outgoing work mode; when the washing machine is switched to the outgoing work mode, the washing machine keeps a door locked after a clothes washing process, and waits for a control instructionissued by the intelligent terminal; and when the washing machine is switched to the at-home work mode, the washing machine unlocks door after the clothes washing process. Design is more reasonable andsafer in the washing machine remote control field, in the outgoing work mode, subsequent operations after the washing process of the washing machine is controlled to prevent clothes from wrinkling, provide convenience for a user, and further avoid the phenomenon that the user cannot further control the washing machine remotely if the washing machine is unlocked directly after washing; and the work mode is switched automatically according to distance between the intelligent terminal and the washing machine, and the intelligent level of the washing machine is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of household appliances, in particular to a washing machine control method and a washing system. Background technique [0002] The Internet of Things is another wave of global informatization after computers, the Internet and mobile communication networks. Since 1999, the concept of the Internet of Things has gradually entered people's field of vision. It is considered to be the next trillion-level information technology after the Internet. In recent years, countries all over the world are stepping up research on Internet of Things technology. [0003] The development of the Internet of Things is divided into four stages: the first stage is the networking of mainframes and hosts; the second stage is the connection of desktops and notebooks to the Internet; the third stage is the interconnection of some mobile devices such as mobile phones; The fourth stage is the rise of the embedded Internet.
