[0022] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the application and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present application, not the entire structure.

[0023] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a detergent dispensing method provided in this application, which can be executed by a controller of the detergent dispensing device provided in this application. For example, the detergent dispensing device can be installed inside a washing machine for dispensing detergent into the washing tub. (Reference) Figure 1 The method may specifically include the following steps:

[0024] Step 101: Receive the washing instruction sent by the target user device.

[0025] The washing instructions include the initial amount of detergent.

[0026] Specifically, the target user device is the user device of the target user, such as a mobile phone or computer. The washing instruction is an instruction that indicates the user's selection to wash the clothes to be washed and specifies the initial amount of detergent needed during the washing process. After the target user confirms the washing, the target user device sends the washing instruction to the detergent dispensing device, which receives the washing instruction from the target user device.

[0027] Step 102: Adjust the initial amount of detergent according to the condition of the clothes to be washed inside the washing equipment to obtain the target amount of detergent.

[0028] The detergent dispensing device is installed inside the washing equipment.

[0029] Specifically, the condition of the clothes refers to the state of the clothes to be washed, indicating the appropriate amount of detergent needed, such as the fabric type and degree of soiling. The condition of the clothes can be obtained through a condition recognition sensor inside the washing machine. After determining the condition of the clothes, the initial amount of detergent is adjusted according to the condition of the clothes to be washed inside the washing machine to obtain the target amount of detergent. For example, some fabric types cannot be washed with a large amount of detergent, as this would damage the fabric. Therefore, if the fabric type cannot be washed with a large amount of detergent, the initial amount of detergent is adjusted according to the fabric type of the clothes to be washed inside the washing machine, for example, by reducing the amount of detergent to obtain the target amount of detergent. If the clothes are too soiled, the initial amount of detergent will not be enough to completely clean the clothes. In this case, the initial amount of detergent is adjusted according to the degree of soiling of the clothes to be washed inside the washing machine, for example, by increasing the amount of detergent to obtain the target amount of detergent.

[0030] Optionally, the condition of the clothing includes the degree of soiling of the clothing, and step 102 can be implemented through steps 1021 to 1022.

[0031] Step 1021: Obtain the maximum initial level of dirt corresponding to the initial amount of detergent used.

[0032] Specifically, there is a pre-defined relationship between the amount of detergent used and the maximum level of dirt that the amount can clean. Therefore, based on the initial amount of detergent used and the relationship between the amount of detergent used and the maximum level of dirt that the amount can clean, the maximum initial level of dirt corresponding to the initial amount of detergent is determined.

[0033] Step 1022: Adjust the initial amount of detergent based on the degree of soiling of the clothes to be washed inside the washing equipment and the maximum initial degree of soiling to obtain the target amount of detergent.

[0034] Optionally, step 1022 can be implemented through steps 221 to 222.

[0035] Step 221: If the degree of soiling of the clothes to be washed is less than or equal to the maximum initial degree of soiling, then the initial amount of detergent is determined as the target amount of detergent.

[0036] Specifically, if the degree of soiling of the clothes to be washed is less than or equal to the maximum initial degree of soiling, it means that the amount of detergent used is sufficient to clean the clothes. Therefore, the initial amount of detergent used is determined as the target amount of detergent.

[0037] Step 222: If the degree of soiling of the clothes to be washed is greater than the maximum initial degree of soiling, then determine the target amount of detergent based on the degree of soiling of the clothes to be washed, so that the degree of soiling of the clothes to be washed is less than or equal to the maximum degree of soiling corresponding to the target amount of detergent.

[0038] Specifically, if the degree of soiling of the clothes to be washed is greater than the maximum initial degree of soiling, it means that the current amount of detergent is insufficient to clean the clothes. In this case, the amount of detergent should be increased until the maximum degree of soiling corresponding to the current amount of detergent is greater than the degree of soiling of the clothes. Therefore, the target amount of detergent should be determined based on the degree of soiling of the clothes to be washed, so that the degree of soiling is less than or equal to the maximum degree of soiling corresponding to the target amount of detergent.

[0039] Optionally, the clothing status includes the clothing material, and step 102 can be achieved through steps 1023 to 1024.

[0040] Step 1021: Obtain the initial clothing material corresponding to the initial amount of detergent used.

[0041] Specifically, since some clothing materials cannot be washed with large amounts of detergent, the initial clothing material corresponding to the initial amount of detergent is the clothing material that can be washed with that initial amount of detergent. After obtaining the initial amount of detergent, the initial clothing material corresponding to the initial amount of detergent is obtained from the preset correspondence between detergent amount and clothing material.

[0042] Step 1022: If the material of the clothes to be washed does not match the initial material of the clothes, determine the amount of detergent corresponding to the material of the clothes to be washed, and use the amount of detergent corresponding to the material of the clothes to be washed as the target amount of detergent.

[0043] Specifically, if the fabric of the clothes to be washed does not match the initial fabric, it means that the clothes cannot be washed with the initial amount of detergent. In this case, based on the fabric of the clothes to be washed and the correspondence between the preset detergent dosage and fabric fabric, the amount of detergent corresponding to the fabric of the clothes to be washed is determined, and this amount of detergent corresponding to the fabric of the clothes to be washed is taken as the target amount of detergent.

[0044] Optionally, the washing instruction may also include a target washing program, and steps 21 to 23 may be performed after step 102.

[0045] Step 21: Determine the target washing cost corresponding to the washing instruction based on the detergent price corresponding to the target amount of detergent and the washing price corresponding to the target washing program.

[0046] Specifically, the target washing program is the washing program selected by the user, such as quick wash, standard wash, and slow wash. In the scenario of public shared laundry facilities, users need to pay a washing fee to use the facilities to wash their clothes. Therefore, based on the correspondence between detergent dosage and detergent price, the detergent price corresponding to the target dosage and the washing price corresponding to the target washing program are determined, thus determining the target washing fee corresponding to the washing instruction.

[0047] Step 22: Send the target laundry fee to the target user device so that the laundry device can confirm the payment result of the target user corresponding to the target user device.

[0048] Specifically, the detergent dispensing device sends the target washing fee to the target user's device, and the target user pays the fee through the target user's device. The washing device is used to confirm the payment result of the target user corresponding to the target user's device, and the payment result includes whether it has been paid or not.

[0049] Step 23: After receiving the user payment confirmation information returned by the washing device, proceed to step 103.

[0050] Specifically, when the target user's payment result is "paid," the washing equipment generates user payment confirmation information and returns it to the detergent dispensing device. Upon receiving the user payment confirmation information from the washing equipment, the detergent dispensing device determines to execute step 103.

[0051] Step 103: Send the target amount of detergent and the request to open the first water inlet to the washing equipment.

[0052] The first water inlet opening request is used to request the washing equipment to open the first water inlet of the washing equipment, and the detergent dispensing port of the detergent dispensing device is located above the first water inlet.

[0053] Specifically, after determining the target amount of detergent, a request to open the first water inlet is sent to the washing equipment. The target amount of detergent is sent to the washing equipment so that it can record the target amount. The request to open the first water inlet is sent to the washing equipment to activate the first water inlet. The first water inlet opening request is used to request the washing equipment to open the first water inlet. The detergent dispensing port of the detergent dispensing device is located above the first water inlet, so when water flows in through the first water inlet, it can flush the detergent dispensing port, preventing dirt buildup that might occur if the detergent dispensing port is not cleaned promptly after dispensing.

[0054] Step 104: When the first water inlet is detected to be open, the target amount of detergent is added so that the water flow in the first water inlet will flush the target amount of detergent into the washing tub of the washing equipment.

[0055] Specifically, the opening of the first water inlet can be determined by a detection device installed at the first water inlet. The opening of the first water inlet is confirmed when water flow is detected. When the first water inlet is detected to be open, detergent is added according to the target dosage. Adding detergent is stopped once the target dosage is reached, allowing the water flow in the first water inlet to flush the target amount of detergent into the washing tub of the washing equipment. This avoids the possibility of dirt accumulation at the detergent inlet if it is not cleaned promptly after addition.

[0056] The present application's solution receives a washing instruction sent by a target user device; wherein the washing instruction includes an initial amount of detergent; the initial amount of detergent is adjusted according to the condition of the clothes to be washed inside the washing device to obtain a target amount of detergent; wherein a detergent dispensing device is installed inside the washing device; the target amount of detergent and a request to open the first water inlet are sent to the washing device; wherein the request to open the first water inlet is used to request the washing device to open the first water inlet of the washing device, and the detergent dispensing port of the detergent dispensing device is located above the first water inlet; when the opening of the first water inlet is detected, the target amount of detergent is dispensed so that the water flow in the first water inlet flushes the target amount of detergent into the washing tub of the washing device. The solution proposed in this application adjusts the amount of detergent according to the condition of the clothes to be washed, thereby avoiding the problem of incomplete washing of clothes when the amount of detergent cannot be adjusted. Furthermore, the detergent is flushed into the washing tub of the washing equipment by the water inlet, thus avoiding the possibility of dirt getting into the detergent dispensing port if it is not cleaned in time after the detergent is added, thereby improving the user experience.

[0057] Figure 2 This is another schematic diagram of the detergent dispensing method provided in this application. This embodiment... Figure 1 Based on the illustrated embodiments and various optional implementation schemes, other operating conditions of the detergent dispensing device are described in detail. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0058] Step 201: Receive the washing instruction sent by the target user device.

[0059] Step 202: Adjust the initial amount of detergent according to the condition of the clothes to be washed inside the washing equipment to obtain the target amount of detergent.

[0060] Step 203: If the target amount of detergent is less than the preset amount, a request to open the second water inlet is sent to the washing equipment.

[0061] The second water inlet opening request is used to request the washing equipment to open the second water inlet of the washing equipment. The second water inlet is a water inlet that does not pass through the detergent dispensing port.

[0062] Specifically, the preset dosage is the amount of detergent that is pre-set to be supplied to the washing tub only through the first water inlet. When the target detergent dosage is greater than or equal to the preset dosage, due to the larger detergent dosage, to avoid the situation where the water inlet speed exceeds the detergent dispensing speed and the detergent cannot be fully rinsed into the washing tub, the second water inlet does not need to be opened. Instead, all water enters the washing tub through the first water inlet, thus increasing the water volume in the first water inlet. However, when the target detergent dosage is less than the preset dosage, the situation where the water inlet speed exceeds the detergent dispensing speed and the detergent cannot be fully rinsed into the washing tub will not occur. Therefore, a request to open the second water inlet is sent to cause the washing equipment to open the second water inlet, thereby increasing the water inlet speed and further improving the user experience.

[0063] Step 204: Send the target amount of detergent and the request to open the first water inlet to the washing equipment.

[0064] Step 205: When the first water inlet is detected to be open, the target amount of detergent is added so that the water flow in the first water inlet will flush the target amount of detergent into the washing tub of the washing equipment.

[0065] Optionally, step 205 can be implemented through steps 2051 to 2053.

[0066] Step 2051: When the first water inlet circuit is detected to be open, the target water consumption and water inlet speed are determined according to the initial washing program.

[0067] Specifically, the initial wash program includes a pre-set target water consumption and water inlet speed. For example, the initial wash program is a standard wash with a target water consumption of 6 liters and a water inlet speed of 0.1 liters per second.

[0068] Step 2052: Determine the target water inlet duration based on the target water consumption and water inlet rate.

[0069] Specifically, after determining the target water consumption and water inlet rate, the target water inlet duration is determined based on the target water consumption and water inlet rate.

[0070] For example, if the target water consumption is 6 liters and the water inflow rate is 0.1 liters per second, then the target water inflow time is 1 minute.

[0071] Step 2053: Based on the target water inlet time, determine the detergent dosing speed for the target amount, and dosing the detergent at the target dosing speed so that the detergent dosing time for the target amount is less than or equal to the target water inlet time.

[0072] Specifically, based on the target water inlet time, the detergent dispensing time for the target dosage is determined. This dispensing time is less than or equal to the water inlet time, ensuring that the incoming water flow can flush away the detergent dispensed from the dispensing device's inlet. This prevents the dispensing inlet from becoming dirty if not cleaned promptly after detergent dispensing. After determining the dispensing time, the detergent dispensing speed can be determined based on the dispensing time and the target dosage. The target dosage of detergent is then dispensed according to this speed, ensuring that the dispensing time for the target dosage is less than or equal to the target water inlet time.

[0073] It should be understood that, although Figure 2 The steps in the flowchart are shown sequentially as indicated by the arrows, but these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified herein, there is no strict order in which these steps are executed, and they can be performed in other orders. Figure 2 At least some of the steps in the process may include multiple sub-steps or multiple stages. These sub-steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these sub-steps or stages does not have to be sequential, but can be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least some of the sub-steps or stages of other steps.

[0074] The solution proposed in this application determines the dispensing speed of the target detergent after determining the water volume and the target water inlet time, so that the target detergent can be carried by the water flow and evenly dispensed into the washing tub, thus avoiding the detergent not being evenly covered on the clothes to be washed after being dispensed.

[0075] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the detergent dispensing device provided in this application. Figure 3 As shown, the detergent dispensing device includes a controller (not shown in the figure) and multiple detergent containers (two are shown as an example in the figure), and each detergent container is equipped with a check valve at the detergent dispensing port.

[0076] The controller is used to execute the detergent dispensing method of any embodiment of this application.

[0077] Specifically, the detergent dispensing device is equipped with multiple detergent containers for holding detergent. Each detergent container has a check valve at its dispensing port to prevent water from entering the container.

[0079] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a washing device provided in this application. The washing device includes a detergent dispensing device and a device control system (not shown in the figure) as described in any embodiment of this application. The detergent dispensing device is connected to the device control system.

[0080] The equipment control system is used to receive the target amount of detergent and the request to open the first water inlet.

[0081] The equipment control system is also used to open the first water inlet channel after receiving a request to open the first water inlet channel.

[0082] Specifically, the detergent dispensing device sends the target amount of detergent and a request to open the first water inlet circuit to the equipment control system. The equipment control system receives the target amount of detergent and the request to open the first water inlet circuit. Upon receiving the request to open the first water inlet circuit, the first water inlet circuit is opened.

[0083] Optionally, the equipment control system is also used to confirm the payment result of the target user corresponding to the target user equipment, and send user payment confirmation information to the detergent dispensing device when the payment result is that payment has been made.

[0084] The equipment control system is also used to open the second water inlet channel after receiving a request to open the second water inlet channel.

[0085] Specifically, the detergent dispensing device sends the target washing fee to the target user's device, which then pays the fee. The device control system also confirms the payment result for the target user, indicating whether the payment has been made or not. If the payment result is confirmed as made, the device control system sends a payment confirmation message to the detergent dispensing device. The device control system also activates the second water inlet upon receiving a request to open it, thereby increasing the water intake speed of the washing equipment.

[0086] The specific working process and beneficial effects of the washing equipment and various optional implementation methods in this embodiment can be referred to the corresponding processes and beneficial effects in the foregoing method embodiments, and will not be repeated here.
