Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothing washing, and more particularly to a washing control method, apparatus, equipment, and storage medium for a washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, drum washing machines use the rotation of the inner tub and lifting ribs inside to lift clothes from the bottom of the tub. Under gravity, the clothes fall from a height, achieving a tumbling and washing effect to clean them. In this tumbling washing mode, the inner tub's rotation speed is generally around 50 revolutions per minute. With advancements in washing machine control technology, some washing machines have begun to increase the rotation speed. The high-speed rotation of the inner tub causes the clothes to adhere closely to the tub wall and rotate with it, resulting in compression and washing within the tub, achieving high-speed swirling washing and improving cleaning performance. In this high-speed swirling washing mode, the inner tub's rotation speed can reach 200 revolutions per minute or even higher. However, under high-speed swirling washing, if the center of gravity of the laundry is unstable, the washing machine may vibrate excessively or even shift, affecting the washing machine's performance and potentially causing water hoses to detach, leaking, or even causing personal injury. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, embodiments of the present invention provide a washing control method, apparatus, device and storage medium for a washing equipment, which aims to improve the vibration and displacement phenomena of the washing equipment during the washing process.

[0004] The technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows:

[0005] This invention provides a washing control method for a washing device, comprising:

[0006] To obtain the load of clothes in the washing machine;

[0007] The eccentricity threshold of the washing equipment is determined based on the acquired load.

[0008] Control the washing equipment to operate in a first washing mode, and obtain the eccentricity of the washing equipment in the first washing mode;

[0009] Based on the eccentricity and the eccentricity threshold, determine whether the washing device switches to the second washing mode;

[0010] In the first washing mode, the inner tub of the washing equipment is controlled to operate at a first rotational speed, which is greater than or equal to a critical rotational speed that causes the clothes to adhere tightly to the inner wall of the inner tub and rotate with it. In the second washing mode, the inner tub is controlled to operate at a second rotational speed, which is greater than the first rotational speed. The first washing mode referred to in this embodiment of the invention can be a washing process that has a cleaning effect on clothes for a relatively long time, or it can be a short-duration stage used only for eccentricity detection. The first rotational speed can be a constant value or a dynamic value that changes, such as the first rotational speed being a dynamic value during the process of the inner tub climbing from a lower rotational speed to a higher rotational speed.

[0011] This invention also provides a washing control device for a washing machine, comprising:

[0012] The acquisition module is used to acquire the load of clothes in the washing equipment;

[0013] A threshold determination module is used to determine the eccentricity threshold of the washing equipment based on the acquired load.

[0014] The operation module is used to control the washing device to operate in a first washing mode, and to obtain the eccentricity of the washing device in the first washing mode; and to determine whether the washing device should switch to a second washing mode based on the eccentricity and the eccentricity threshold.

[0015] In the first washing mode, the inner tub of the washing equipment is controlled to operate at a first speed, which is greater than or equal to the critical speed at which the clothes adhere tightly to the inner wall of the inner tub and rotate with the inner tub; in the second washing mode, the inner tub is controlled to operate at a second speed, which is greater than the first speed.

[0016] This invention also provides a washing device, including: a processor and a memory for storing a computer program capable of running on the processor, wherein the processor, when running the computer program, executes the steps of the method described in any embodiment of this invention.

[0017] This invention also provides a storage medium storing a computer program, wherein when the computer program is executed by a processor, it implements the steps of the method described in any embodiment of this invention.

[0018] The technical solution provided by this invention involves obtaining the load of clothes in a washing device, determining an eccentricity threshold based on the obtained load, controlling the washing device to operate in a first washing mode, and obtaining the eccentricity of the washing device in the first washing mode. Based on the eccentricity and the eccentricity threshold, it is determined whether the washing device should switch to a second washing mode. This allows for judgment based on the eccentricity before switching the washing device to the second washing mode (i.e., the high-speed rotary drum washing mode), avoiding vibration and displacement of the washing device in the second washing mode. Furthermore, the eccentricity threshold in this invention is determined based on the load of clothes in the washing device. A corresponding eccentricity threshold can be set according to different loads of clothes in the washing device, effectively ensuring reliable and stable operation of the washing device in the second washing mode before switching to the second washing mode, thus improving washing efficiency.

[0022] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the washing equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0025] This invention provides a washing control method for a washing device, which can be a washing machine or a washer-dryer combo. For example, the washing device can be a front-loading or top-loading washing machine. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0026] Step 101: Obtain the load of clothes in the washing equipment;

[0027] Here, the load capacity can be either the weight or size of the clothes; the following example uses the weight of the clothes as the load capacity. Specifically, the washing machine can be equipped with a weighing device to detect the weight of the clothes inside the inner drum. For example, a fuzzy weighing device can be used to obtain the weight of the clothes inside the inner drum, or indirect weighing can be performed by detecting the motor's speed and / or acceleration.

[0028] Step 102: Determine the eccentricity threshold of the washing device based on the acquired load.

[0029] In some embodiments, determining the eccentricity threshold of the washing device based on the acquired load includes:

[0030] The load level is determined based on the acquired load amount;

[0031] The eccentricity threshold corresponding to the load level is obtained based on the load level.

[0032] Here, the obtained clothing weight can be used to look up a preset load level and its corresponding clothing weight to determine the appropriate load level for the washing machine. This preset load level and clothing weight correspondence can be determined based on the washing machine's load capacity. For example, the washing machine can be divided into three load levels: Load Level 1, Load Level 2, and Load Level 3, with the corresponding clothing weights increasing sequentially from 1 to 3. In practical applications, the preset load level and clothing weight correspondence can be represented as a load level lookup table. After obtaining the clothing weight, the washing machine can look up the table to determine the appropriate load level for that weight of clothing.

[0033] Here, there is a correspondence between the load level and the eccentricity threshold. The eccentricity threshold for each load level can be determined experimentally. For example, vibration and displacement tests can be performed on the washing equipment to obtain the eccentricity threshold for different load levels. This correspondence between the load level and the eccentricity threshold can be represented by an eccentricity threshold lookup table. After determining the load level of the washing equipment, the corresponding eccentricity threshold can be determined by looking up the table based on the load level.

[0034] Step 103: Control the washing equipment to operate in the first washing mode, and obtain the eccentricity of the washing equipment in the first washing mode;

[0035] Here, the washing equipment can operate in the first washing mode after the water volume is increased to the set level. In practical applications, this set water volume can be determined based on the weight of the clothes or the load setting. The eccentricity of the washing equipment is also detected in the first washing mode. In practical applications, the eccentricity of the washing equipment can be obtained by detecting the electrical parameters of the motor. For example, the eccentricity can be determined by collecting signals reflecting fluctuations in motor speed or torque. The greater the fluctuation in speed and / or torque, the greater the corresponding eccentricity of the washing equipment, and vice versa.

[0036] In existing technologies, drum washing machines often employ a tumbling washing mode. In this mode, the inner drum typically rotates at around 50 revolutions per minute. Lifting ribs inside the drum lift the clothes from the bottom, and the clothes then fall from a height under gravity, achieving the tumbling washing effect. However, this method often fails to accurately measure the eccentricity of the washing equipment. In this embodiment of the invention, the washing equipment is controlled to operate in a first washing mode, and the eccentricity of the washing equipment is obtained. Here, the first washing mode refers to controlling the inner drum of the washing equipment to operate at a first rotational speed. This first rotational speed is greater than or equal to the critical rotational speed at which the clothes adhere tightly to the inner wall of the inner drum and rotate with it. In this way, the eccentricity of the washing equipment can be obtained. This first washing mode can be a relatively long washing process that effectively cleans the clothes, or it can be a very short stage used only for eccentricity detection. The first rotational speed can be a constant value or a dynamic value that varies, such as the dynamic value of the inner drum as it moves from a lower rotational speed to a higher rotational speed.

[0037] Step 104: Determine whether the washing device should switch to the second washing mode based on the eccentricity and the eccentricity threshold.

[0038] Here, the second washing mode is also known as the high-speed swirl washing mode, which controls the inner tub to operate at a second rotational speed, which is greater than the first rotational speed, causing the clothes to rotate with the inner tub. In some embodiments, the rotational speed of the inner tub can reach 200 revolutions per minute or even higher, which can greatly improve washing efficiency.

[0039] The embodiments of the present invention can determine the eccentricity before switching the washing equipment to the second washing mode, thereby avoiding vibration and displacement of the washing equipment in the second washing mode. Furthermore, the eccentricity threshold in the embodiments of the present invention is determined based on the load of the underwear in the washing equipment. The corresponding eccentricity threshold can be set according to different loads of the underwear in the washing equipment, which can effectively ensure that the washing equipment operates reliably and stably in the second washing mode before switching the washing equipment to the second washing mode, thereby improving washing efficiency.

[0040] In some embodiments, determining whether the washing device switches to a second washing mode based on the eccentricity amount and the eccentricity threshold includes:

[0041] If the eccentricity is determined to be less than the eccentricity threshold, the washing device is controlled to enter the second washing mode.

[0042] In this way, the washing equipment only switches to the second washing mode when the eccentricity is less than the eccentricity threshold, greatly improving the reliability of the washing operation. This effectively avoids vibration and displacement caused by switching to the second washing mode.

[0043] In some embodiments, determining whether the washing device switches to the second washing mode based on the eccentricity amount and the eccentricity threshold further includes:

[0044] If the eccentricity is determined to be greater than or equal to the eccentricity threshold, then the system returns to control the washing device to operate in the first washing mode and obtains the eccentricity of the washing device in the first washing mode; based on the newly obtained eccentricity and the eccentricity threshold, it is determined whether the washing device should switch to the second washing mode.

[0045] Thus, when the eccentricity is greater than or equal to the eccentricity threshold, the washing device can restart in the first washing mode, acquire the eccentricity of the washing device, and determine whether to switch to the second washing mode based on the newly acquired eccentricity and the eccentricity threshold, i.e., re-attempt to switch the washing device to the second washing mode. It should be noted that the washing device can directly return to the first washing mode, or it can return to the first washing mode after adjustment. For example, the washing device can return to the tumbling washing mode and run for a set time before returning to the first washing mode. This embodiment of the invention does not limit this.

[0046] In practical applications, the number of times the washing equipment attempts to switch to the second washing mode can be set. If the washing equipment fails to switch to the second washing mode within a reasonable number of attempts, the washing equipment will continue to operate in the first washing mode.

[0047] In some embodiments, the second washing mode includes at least two different rotation speeds, and controlling the washing device to enter the second washing mode includes:

[0048] The eccentricity setting of the washing equipment is determined based on the eccentricity.

[0049] The rotation speed of the washing device in the second washing mode is determined based on the eccentric gear position.

[0050] The washing equipment is controlled to operate at the corresponding rotation speed.

[0051] In practical applications, the eccentricity of the washing equipment can be divided into levels based on a pre-set threshold range for eccentricity settings to determine the eccentricity level of the washing equipment, and thus determine the corresponding spin speed level for the washing equipment in the second washing mode. Here, the spin speed level in the second washing mode is set in a one-to-one correspondence with the eccentricity level.

[0052] In some embodiments, determining the eccentricity setting corresponding to the washing device based on the eccentricity includes:

[0053] Based on the load settings of the washing equipment, obtain the threshold range corresponding to each eccentric setting;

[0054] Based on the eccentricity and the threshold range corresponding to the eccentricity level, the eccentricity level corresponding to the washing device is determined.

[0055] Here, each eccentric setting of the washing equipment is set to correspond to each rotation speed in the second washing mode, and the threshold range of each eccentric setting corresponds to the load setting.

[0056] It should be noted that in the second washing mode, multiple speed settings for the washing equipment can be preset, for example, two or more speeds can be set.

[0057] Thus, embodiments of the present invention can divide the rotation speed of the second washing mode into levels, so that the washing device can determine the corresponding rotation speed in the second washing mode based on the eccentricity and operate at the corresponding rotation speed.

[0058] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0059] If it is determined that the washing equipment has been running in the second washing mode for a set time, then the control of the washing equipment is returned to run in the first washing mode, and the eccentricity of the washing equipment in the first washing mode is obtained; based on the newly obtained eccentricity and the eccentricity threshold, it is determined whether the washing equipment should switch to the second washing mode until the washing time of the washing equipment is reached.

[0060] It should be noted that the washing equipment can directly return to the first washing mode, or it can return to the first washing mode after adjustment. For example, the washing equipment can return to the tumbling washing mode and run for a set time before returning to the first washing mode. This embodiment of the invention does not limit this.

[0061] In this way, the washing equipment can alternate between the first washing mode and the second washing mode until the washing time of the washing equipment is reached.

[0062] In some embodiments, if the second washing mode has a rotation speed of one, then the rotation speed is the same each time the second washing mode is run.

[0063] In some embodiments, if there are multiple rotation speeds for the second washing mode, the rotation speed for each operation in the second washing mode can be determined based on the eccentricity, and the running time corresponding to each different rotation speed can be the same or different.

[0064] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0065] Determine that the washing equipment has reached the washing time, and control the rinsing and dehydration of the washing equipment.

[0066] Here, the washing time of the washing equipment can be set by the user, determined based on the load of clothes, or a default time can be used. Once the washing time is determined, the washing equipment will proceed with subsequent rinsing and spin-drying until the washing operation is completed.

[0067] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to application examples.

[0068] In this application embodiment, the washing device is a drum washing machine, and the load capacity is the weight of the clothes. This washing device supports normal tumbling washing (i.e., the aforementioned tumbling washing mode), a first washing mode, and high-speed washing (i.e., the aforementioned second washing mode). The high-speed washing mode includes a low speed and a high speed, where the spin speed corresponding to the low speed is lower than that corresponding to the high speed. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the washing control method of the washing equipment includes:

[0069] Step 201: Weigh the clothing;

[0070] The washing machine obtains the weight of the clothes in the inner drum through a built-in weighing device.

[0071] Step 202: Determine the load level;

[0072] The washing equipment determines the load level based on the weight of the clothes. The correspondence between the preset load level and the preset weight of clothes can be determined according to the load capacity of the washing equipment. For example, for a washing equipment with a load capacity of 8kg, a load of 0-2kg of clothes is defined as a small load, a load of 2-4kg of clothes is defined as a medium load, and a load of 4kg-8kg of clothes is defined as a large load, and so on.

[0073] Step 203, water intake;

[0074] Washing equipment controls the water intake; for example, the amount of water can be determined based on the weight of the clothes.

[0075] Step 204, regular tumbling and washing;

[0076] When the washing equipment operates in the tumbling washing mode, the inner drum of the washing equipment runs at a speed lower than the critical speed that allows the clothes to stick tightly to the inner wall of the inner drum and rotate with the inner drum. Using the lifting ribs set inside the drum, the clothes are lifted from the bottom of the drum, and the clothes fall from a height under the action of gravity, thus realizing tumbling washing.

[0077] Step 205, Eccentricity detection;

[0078] After running in the tumbling washing mode for a first set time, the washing equipment can be controlled to operate in the first washing mode, and the eccentricity of the washing equipment can be acquired. Here, in the first washing mode, the inner tub of the washing equipment operates at a first speed, which is greater than or equal to the critical speed. The eccentricity can be determined by acquiring signals reflecting the speed fluctuations and / or torque fluctuations of the motor, for example, by acquiring the operating voltage and / or operating current of the motor.

[0079] Step 206, determine the eccentric gear;

[0080] Here, the eccentricity of the washing equipment can be divided into levels according to the threshold range of the preset eccentricity level, and the eccentricity level of the washing equipment can be determined.

[0081] For example, the eccentric settings of a washing machine include: eccentric setting 1 and eccentric setting 2. The threshold range of eccentric setting 1 corresponds to the low speed setting in the second washing mode, while the threshold range of eccentric setting 2 corresponds to the high speed setting in the second washing mode. The load settings of the washing machine include: load setting 1, load setting 2, and load setting 3, with the corresponding laundry weights increasing sequentially. The threshold range corresponding to eccentric setting 1 at the same load setting is greater than the threshold range corresponding to eccentric setting 2. The value ranges of the threshold ranges for eccentric setting 1 and eccentric setting 2 vary under different load settings. For example, as the weight of the laundry increases, the probability of accidents such as drum collisions decreases; therefore, the threshold ranges for eccentric setting 1 and eccentric setting 2 can be increased accordingly. For example, under load setting 1, the threshold range corresponding to eccentric setting 1 is [L1, L2), and the threshold range corresponding to eccentric setting 2 is [0, L1); under load setting 2, the threshold range corresponding to eccentric setting 1 is [L3, L4), and the threshold range corresponding to eccentric setting 2 is [0, L3); under load setting 3, the threshold range corresponding to eccentric setting 1 is [L5, L6), and the threshold range corresponding to eccentric setting 2 is [0, L5); where L2>L1, L4>L3, L6>L5, and L6>L4>L2, L5>L3>L1.

[0082] The washing equipment can determine the threshold range of eccentricity level 1 and eccentricity level 2 based on the load level. The washing equipment can determine whether the obtained eccentricity falls within the threshold range of eccentricity level 1 or eccentricity level 2, thus determining the eccentricity level of the washing equipment.

[0083] In practical applications, step 206 also determines whether the eccentricity of the washing equipment is less than the eccentricity threshold corresponding to the load setting of the washing equipment. If the eccentricity of the washing equipment is greater than or equal to the eccentricity threshold corresponding to the load setting of the washing equipment, it is determined that the washing equipment cannot switch to the second washing mode. In this case, step 207 is not executed, and the process returns to step 204.

[0084] Here, there is a correspondence between the load level and the eccentricity threshold, and the eccentricity threshold for each load level can be determined experimentally. For example, the load levels of the washing machine include: load level 1, load level 2, and load level 3. Then, the eccentricity thresholds include: the first eccentricity threshold corresponding to load level 1, the second eccentricity threshold corresponding to load level 2, and the third eccentricity threshold corresponding to load level 3. The weight of the clothes corresponding to load levels 1, 2, and 3 increases sequentially, as do the first, second, and third eccentricity thresholds. Thus, the washing machine can determine the corresponding eccentricity threshold based on the current load level and determine whether to switch to the second washing mode based on the obtained eccentricity amount. If the obtained eccentricity amount is less than the eccentricity threshold, the eccentricity level corresponding to the eccentricity amount is determined; otherwise, the process returns to step 204.

[0085] Step 207, Determine the high-speed washing setting;

[0086] Since there is a correspondence between the eccentric setting and the speed setting in the high-speed washing mode, the corresponding speed can be determined based on the eccentric setting. For example, if the eccentric setting of the washing machine is eccentric setting 1, it can be determined that the speed of the washing machine in the second washing mode is a low setting, and step 208 is executed; if the eccentric setting of the washing machine is eccentric setting 2, it can be determined that the speed of the washing machine in the second washing mode is a high setting, and step 209 is executed.

[0087] Step 208, low-speed wash;

[0088] Control the washing equipment to run at a low speed for the corresponding duration, and then execute step 210.

[0089] Step 209, high-speed wash;

[0090] Control the washing equipment to run at the high speed for the corresponding duration, and then execute step 210.

[0091] Step 210: Determine if the washing time has been reached. If yes, proceed to step 211; otherwise, return to step 204.

[0092] After the washing equipment runs for a set time in the second washing mode, it determines whether the washing time has been reached. If yes, it proceeds to step 211; otherwise, it returns to step 204, thus realizing the alternating operation of the washing equipment in ordinary tumbling washing, the first washing mode, and the second washing mode.

[0093] Step 211, rinsing;

[0094] The washing equipment rinses the washed clothes, and the number of rinses and the duration can be set according to needs.

[0095] Step 212, dehydration.

[0096] Washing equipment dehydrates the rinsed clothes, thus completing the washing process.

[0097] To implement the method of the present invention, the present invention also provides a washing control device for a washing equipment, which corresponds to the washing control method of the washing equipment described above. The steps in the washing control method of the washing equipment described above are also fully applicable to the washing control device of this washing equipment.

[0098] like Figure 3 As shown, the washing control device of the washing equipment includes: an acquisition module 301, a threshold determination module 302, and an operation module 303. The acquisition module 301 is used to acquire the load of clothes in the washing equipment; the threshold determination module 302 is used to determine the eccentricity threshold of the washing equipment based on the acquired load; the operation module 303 is used to: control the washing equipment to operate in a first washing mode, and acquire the eccentricity of the washing equipment in the first washing mode; and determine whether the washing equipment should switch to a second washing mode based on the eccentricity and the eccentricity threshold.

[0099] Here, in the first washing mode, the inner tub of the washing device is controlled to operate at a first speed, which is greater than or equal to the critical speed at which the clothes adhere tightly to the inner wall of the inner tub and rotate with the inner tub; in the second washing mode, the inner tub is controlled to operate at a second speed, which is greater than the first speed.

[0100] In some embodiments, the threshold determination module 302 is specifically used for:

[0101] The load level is determined based on the acquired load amount;

[0102] The eccentricity threshold corresponding to the load level is obtained based on the load level.

[0103] In some embodiments, the running module 303 is specifically used for:

[0104] If the eccentricity is determined to be less than the eccentricity threshold, the washing device is controlled to enter the second washing mode.

[0105] In some embodiments, the running module 303 is further configured to:

[0106] If the eccentricity is determined to be greater than or equal to the eccentricity threshold, then the system returns to control the washing device to operate in the first washing mode and obtains the eccentricity of the washing device in the first washing mode; based on the newly obtained eccentricity and the eccentricity threshold, it is determined whether the washing device should switch to the second washing mode.

[0107] In some embodiments, the second washing mode includes at least two different spin speeds, and the operation module 303 is specifically used for:

[0108] The eccentricity setting of the washing equipment is determined based on the eccentricity.

[0109] The rotation speed of the washing device in the second washing mode is determined based on the eccentric gear position.

[0110] The washing equipment is controlled to operate at the corresponding rotation speed.

[0111] In some embodiments, the operation module 303 is further configured to: determine that the washing device has been running in the second washing mode for a set time, then return to the control of the washing device to run in the first washing mode, and obtain the eccentricity of the washing device in the first washing mode; and determine whether the washing device should switch to the second washing mode based on the newly obtained eccentricity and the eccentricity threshold.

[0112] In some embodiments, the operation module 303 determines the eccentricity level corresponding to the washing device based on the eccentricity amount, including:

[0113] Based on the load settings of the washing equipment, obtain the threshold range corresponding to each eccentric setting;

[0114] Based on the eccentricity and the threshold range corresponding to the eccentricity level, the eccentricity level corresponding to the washing device is determined.

[0115] Each eccentric setting corresponds to a spin speed in the second washing mode, and the threshold range of each eccentric setting corresponds to the load setting.

[0116] In practical applications, the acquisition module 301, the threshold determination module 302, and the operation module 303 can be implemented by the processor in the washing control device of the washing equipment. Of course, the processor needs to run the computer program in the memory to realize its function.

[0117] It should be noted that the washing control device for the washing equipment provided in the above embodiments is only illustrated by the division of the above-described program modules. In actual applications, the above processing can be assigned to different program modules as needed, that is, the internal structure of the device can be divided into different program modules to complete all or part of the processing described above. Furthermore, the washing control device for the washing equipment provided in the above embodiments and the washing control method embodiments for the washing equipment belong to the same concept, and their specific implementation process can be found in the method embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0118] Based on the hardware implementation of the above program modules, and in order to implement the method of the embodiments of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention also provide a washing device. Figure 4 The structure of this washing device is shown as an example only, not the entire structure; it can be implemented as needed. Figure 4 The structure shown may be part or all of the structure.

[0119] like Figure 4 As shown, the washing device 400 provided in this embodiment of the invention includes at least one processor 401, a memory 402, and a user interface 404. The various components in the washing device 400 are coupled together via a bus system 403. It can be understood that the bus system 403 is used to realize the connection and communication between these components. In addition to a data bus, the bus system 403 also includes a power bus, a control bus, and a status signal bus. However, for clarity, in... Figure 4 The general designated all buses as Bus System 403.

[0120] The user interface 404 may include a monitor, keyboard, mouse, trackball, click wheel, buttons, touchpad, or touch screen.

[0121] The memory 402 in this embodiment of the invention is used to store various types of data to support the operation of the washing equipment. Examples of such data include any computer programs used for operation on the washing equipment.

[0122] The washing control method for a washing device disclosed in this embodiment of the invention can be applied to, or implemented by, a processor 401.
