Benefits of technology

The present invention is a washing machine that can play music and generate water flows based on the music. The water flows are converted into a form of music that is transmitted to the user, allowing them to better understand the conditions of the water flows and the performance of the motor. This improves the interaction with the user and enhances the experience of washing. The washing machine uses a professional music arrangement knowledge database to assist the operator in arranging the music. The invention also includes a frequency electric signal amplifier and a frequency converter to control the rotation speed of the motor, making the water flows have the same rhythm change as the music. This allows the user to hear and feel the music through the water flows. Overall, the invention improves the user experience and makes the washing machine more interesting and pleasurable.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, a heretofore unaddressed need exists in the art to address the aforementioned deficiencies and inadequacies.

embodiment 1

[0043]In this embodiment, the washing machine starts a washing program, a weak audio-frequency electric signal output when a control system plays music is first amplified into a strong audio-frequency electric signal by using an amplifier, and the strong audio-frequency electric signal is divided into two paths: one path of signal passes through a signal delayer to a loudspeaker and is converted into a sound signal, so as to transmit into an auditory and tactile music hall from the upper portion of the hall; the other path of strong audio-frequency electric signal is input to a frequency converter, and the frequency converter is controlled to change the frequency and voltage of a power supply of a motor of the washing machine, so as to change the rotation-halt ratio and rotation speed of the motor of the washing machine, and enable the change of the rotation speed to be the same as the change of rhythm of the sound signal output by the control system, so that the water flow output b...

embodiment 2

[0044]In this embodiment, methods such as mode recognition, digital signal process, artificial intelligence, and computer multimedia technologies are added to a control device of the washing machine, and music elements are recognized, analyzed and extracted by using computer software. The music signal of the computer is divided into two channels A and B, the music signal A is subjected to feature recognition and extraction of music elements by means of a digital audio signal processing software packet of the computer, so as to form various control signals, that is, bass, median, treble and beat; then, based on a “professional music arrangement knowledge base”, manifestation forms of water flows corresponding to the rotation-halt ratio and rotation speed of the motor of the corresponding washing machine are selected, and by means of a computer parallel port, discrete control signals from a controller are input to a digital isolated output card to output a simulation signal, the signa...

embodiment 3

[0046]In this embodiment, a system sets a corresponding sound feature library according to different rotation-halt ratios and rotation speeds of a washing machine, and the sound feature library stores sounds corresponding to various different frequencies, tones and volumes. After a user selects a washing program, the washing machine starts to work, and according to invoked sounds of adjacent nodes and the selected program in a control device, a sound is retrieved from various sounds in the sound feature library corresponding to the rotation-halt ratio and rotation speed at different time nodes, and then transmitted to the user by using an output device.

Abstract

A music washing machine and a control method thereof. The washing machine includes a motor for introducing a washing water flow. The motor is connected to a control device for performing mutual conversion between a rotation and stopping ratio and / or the rotation speed of the motor and a musical characteristic signal, so that the music emitted by an output device synchronizes with the rotation and stopping ratio and / or the rotation speed of the motor during working of the washing machine. By a conversion device of the washing machine, mutual conversion between the rotation and stopping ratio and / or the rotation speed of the motor of the washing machine and the musical characteristic signal is performed, so that the output device emits music corresponding to the rotation and stopping ratio and / or the rotation speed of the motor during working of the washing machine.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation application of International Patent Application No. PCT / CN2013 / 090091, filed Dec. 20, 2013, which itself claims the priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201310122473.4 and 201310122497.X, both filed Apr. 9, 2013, which are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to the field of washing machines, and more particularly, to a music washing machine and a control method thereof.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]During a washing process of a conventional washing machine, clockwise and anticlockwise rotations of a motor generate water flows in an inner barrel, and clothes therein are washed by the water flows. In the washing process, generally a user selects a corresponding washing program of the washing machine according to information such as materials, weight, and cleanness of the clothes. The control process depends on the us...
