[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to a feeding control method and device for a clothing processing device. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards improve, clothes processing devices have become indispensable household appliances in life. At present, the clothes processing devices on the market that can dispense detergent and softener require users to dispense detergent according to prompts or refer to instructions.

[0003] In actual use, when users put materials in according to the prompts or refer to the instructions, they may make mistakes in putting them in, resulting in ineffective washing, which not only affects the washing effect, but also requires the user to repeat the washing process, resulting in a waste of time. Summary of the invention

[0040] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0041] The following describes a feeding control method and device for a clothes treating device according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a feeding control method for a clothing processing device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0043] As an example, the clothing processing device may be a drum washing machine, a pulsator washing machine, or a washer-dryer, which is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the feeding control method of the clothing processing device includes the following steps:

[0045] Step 101, identifying the type of material according to the acidity or alkalinity of the material.

[0046] Where type is detergent or softener.

[0047] In this embodiment, the acidity and alkalinity of the material refers to the strength of the acidity and alkalinity of the material solution, which is generally expressed by the pH value. A pH value of less than 7 is acidic, a pH value of 7 is neutral, and a pH value of more than 7 is alkaline.

[0048] It is understandable that the active ingredient of detergent is non-ionic surfactant, so its pH value is neutral and slightly alkaline; the active ingredient of softener is cationic surfactant, so its pH value is acidic. Therefore, the type of material can be identified by the acidity and alkalinity of the material, that is, whether the material is a detergent or a softener.

[0049] As a possible implementation, sensors may be provided in all detergent chambers of the laundry processing device to identify the acidity or alkalinity of the material put into the detergent chamber according to the sensors in each washing chamber, and then identify the type of the material. For example, the sensor provided in the detergent chamber may be a pH probe, and the pH value of the material in each detergent chamber may be identified by the pH probe to identify the type of the material.

[0050] As an example, see Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a structural example diagram of a clothes processing device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, two detergent inlets 11 and 12 are provided on the workbench 10 of the laundry treatment device 100 , corresponding to the two detergent chambers respectively, so that the user can put the detergent into the two detergent chambers through the inlets 11 and 12 .

[0051] Figure 3 This is a structural example diagram of another clothing processing device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, two sensors 21 and 22 are respectively arranged at the bottom of the two detergent chambers of the laundry processing device 100, for identifying the pH value of the material in the detergent chamber, so as to identify the type of the material put into the detergent chamber. Among them, the sensors 21 and 22 are respectively electrically connected to the control unit of the laundry processing device to realize signal transmission with the control unit.

[0052] For example, if the pH value of the material identified by the sensor 21 is less than 6, it is determined that the material in the detergent chamber where the sensor 21 is provided is a softener.

[0053] Step 102, input materials at the stage corresponding to the type.

[0054] It should be explained that the type of material is detergent, which corresponds to the washing stage of the laundry process; the type of material is softener, which corresponds to the rinsing stage of the laundry process.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, after the type of material in each detergent chamber of the clothing processing device is identified according to the acidity or alkalinity of the material, the corresponding material is added according to the washing stage corresponding to the type to carry out the clothing washing process.

[0056] In one possible case, each detergent chamber of the clothing processing device contains cleaning agent and softener respectively. In this case, during the washing stage, the cleaning agent in the detergent chamber is put into the washing tub, and during the rinsing stage, the softener in the detergent chamber is put into the washing tub.

[0057] In another possible situation, each detergent chamber of the clothes processing device contains only cleaning agent, and no softener is identified. In this case, during the washing stage, the cleaning agent in each detergent chamber is put into the washing tub to carry out the washing process.

[0058] In another possible situation, each detergent chamber of the clothing processing device contains only softener and no detergent is identified. In this case, the clothing processing device is controlled to prohibit execution of each stage of the washing program to avoid ineffective washing of clothing without detergent, thereby wasting time and resources.

[0059] The feeding control method of the clothing treatment device of the embodiment of the present application identifies the type of material according to the acidity and alkalinity of the material; the type is detergent or softener; and the material is fed in the stage corresponding to the type. This method does not require the user to learn how to feed detergent through graphic symbols or instructions. The user only needs to feed different types of materials into each detergent cavity at will. The clothing treatment device itself can identify the type of material in each detergent cavity, that is, identify whether there is detergent or softener in each detergent cavity, so as to feed it in the washing stage corresponding to the material type, thereby improving the user's laundry experience.

[0060] In a possible scenario, the materials in the detergent chamber of the clothes processing device are cleaning agent and softener. During the clothes washing process, the cleaning agent is kneaded into the washing tub during the washing stage, and the softener is put into the washing tub during the rinsing stage. Figure 4 The above process is introduced in detail. Figure 4 A schematic flow chart of another method for controlling feeding of a clothing processing device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, the method may further include the following steps:

[0062] Step 201, identifying the type of material according to the acidity or alkalinity of the material.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the implementation process of step 201 refers to the implementation process of step 101 in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0064] Step 202, if it is determined that the detergent is identified, then each stage of the washing program begins to be executed.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, when the type of material is identified based on the acidity or alkalinity of the material, if it is determined that the detergent is identified, the various stages of the washing program are started.

[0066] It is understandable that if it is identified that all detergent chambers contain softener and no cleaning agent is identified, executing each stage of the washing program may result in an inability to completely clean the stains on the clothes, resulting in a poor washing effect.

[0067] Step 203, during the washing stage, the water inlet valve is controlled to allow water to flow into the detergent chamber containing the detergent, so as to put the detergent into the washing tub.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, after the detergent is identified in each detergent chamber of the clothing treatment device, the clothing treatment device is controlled to start the washing program. In the washing stage, the water inlet valve is controlled to feed water into the detergent chamber containing the detergent, so as to put the detergent into the washing tub, so as to wash the stains on the clothes with the detergent, thereby realizing the process of effectively washing the clothes.

[0069] Step 204, during the rinsing stage, the water inlet valve is controlled to allow water to flow into the detergent chamber containing the softener, so as to put the softener into the washing tub.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, after the laundry processing device completes the washing phase of the washing program, it enters the rinsing phase. At the beginning of the rinsing phase, the water inlet valve is controlled to feed water into the detergent chamber containing the softener to put the softener into the washing tub.

[0071] As an example, see Figure 3 The spray head assembly 20 of the laundry treatment device 100 is provided with a water inlet valve 23 for supplying water into the washing tub. The water inlet valve 23 is a one-in-two-outlet water inlet valve, that is, water is supplied from one end and has two water outlets at the other end. The water inlet pipe 24 and the water inlet pipe 25 are connected to the main water inlet and the auxiliary water inlet of the water inlet valve 23, respectively.

[0072] It should be noted that Figure 3 The water inlet valve 23 can also be a one-in-one-out water inlet valve with a reversing valve, which can also realize the function of dual-way water inlet. Figure 3 This is only an exemplary structure and is not limited in this embodiment.

[0073] like Figure 5 As shown, the spray head assembly 20 also includes a water outlet 26 for controlling the water inlet valve to allow water to flow into the detergent chamber and then enter the washing tub through the water outlet 26 .

[0074] It should be noted that Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of the nozzle assembly 20 described in the above example, Figure 6 The structure in the figure is shown only as an example, and the nozzle assembly may also have other shapes and structures, which are not limited in this embodiment.

[0075] In this example, if the sensors 21 and 22 at the bottom of the detergent chamber of the laundry processing device recognize that the materials in the washing chamber are detergent and softener, respectively, in the washing stage of the washing program, the water inlet pipe 24 is controlled to flow water into the detergent chamber containing the detergent to put the detergent into the washing tub, and at this time, the water inlet pipe 25 does not flow water into the washing tub. In the rinsing stage, the water inlet pipe 25 is controlled to flow water into the detergent chamber containing the softener to put the softener into the washing tub, and at this time, the water inlet pipe 24 does not flow water into the washing tub.

[0076] In another case, if the sensors 21 and 22 at the bottom of the detergent chamber of the laundry processing device recognize that the materials in the washing chamber are softener and cleaning agent, respectively, in the washing stage of the washing program, the water inlet pipe 25 is controlled to flow water into the detergent chamber containing the cleaning agent to put the cleaning agent into the washing tub, and at this time, the water inlet pipe 24 does not flow water into the washing tub. In the rinsing stage, the water inlet pipe 24 is controlled to flow water into the detergent chamber containing the softener to put the softener into the washing tub, and at this time, the water inlet pipe 25 does not flow water into the washing tub.

[0077] The feeding control method of the clothing treatment device of the embodiment of the present application, by identifying the type of material according to the acidity and alkalinity of the material, determines that the detergent is identified, and then starts to execute each stage of the washing program. In the washing stage, the water inlet valve is controlled to feed water into the detergent chamber containing the detergent to put the detergent into the washing tub. In the rinsing stage, the water inlet valve is controlled to feed water into the detergent chamber containing the softener to put the softener into the washing tub. Thus, the type of material in each detergent chamber is automatically identified according to the clothing treatment device, and the water inlet valve is controlled to put the material into the washing tub in the corresponding washing stage, avoiding the technical problem of invalid washing caused by manual feeding errors of users in the prior art, and improving the user experience.

[0078] In another possible scenario, the materials in at least two detergent chambers of the clothes processing device are cleaning agents. In this case, during the clothes washing process, the water inlet valve is controlled to feed water into at least two detergent chambers to put the cleaning agents into the washing tub. Figure 7 The above process is introduced in detail. Figure 7 This is a flow chart of another feeding control method for a clothing processing device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0079] like Figure 7 As shown, the method may further include the following steps:

[0080] Step 301, identifying the type of material according to the acidity or alkalinity of the material.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, the implementation process of step 301 refers to the implementation process of step 101 in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0082] Step 302, determining that the materials in at least two detergent chambers are all cleaning agents, and no softener is identified.

[0083] In one possible scenario, based on the acidity and alkalinity of the materials, it is identified that the materials in at least two detergent chambers are both cleaning agents, and no softener is identified.

[0084] For example, if Figure 3 As shown, when the sensors 21 and 22 at the bottom of the detergent chamber of the laundry processing device 100 recognize that the pH values ​​of the materials in the detergent chambers are both greater than 6, it can be determined that the materials in the two detergent chambers are both cleaning agents.

[0085] Step 303, during the washing stage, control the water inlet valve to allow water to flow into at least two detergent chambers to inject the cleaning agent into the washing tub.

[0086] In the embodiment of the present application, when it is determined that the materials in at least two detergent chambers are cleaning agents and no softener is identified, during the washing phase of the washing program of the laundry processing device, the water inlet valve is controlled to simultaneously feed water into at least two detergent chambers to put the cleaning agent into the washing tub. At the same time, the laundry processing device can remind the user that the softener has not been put in, so that the user can add the softener into the detergent chamber before the rinsing phase begins.

[0087] Continuing with the above example, Figure 3 As shown, after the sensors 21 and 22 at the bottom of the detergent chamber of the laundry processing device 100 recognize that the materials in the detergent chamber are all cleaning agents, the water inlet pipes 24 and 25 are controlled to simultaneously inlet water into the two detergent chambers to put the cleaning agents into the washing tub. Thus, the water inlet time is saved.

[0088] The feeding control method of the clothing treatment device of the embodiment of the present application identifies the type of material according to the acidity and alkalinity of the material, determines that the materials in at least two detergent chambers are all cleaning agents, and when softener is not identified, controls the water inlet valve to feed water into at least two detergent chambers to feed the cleaning agents into the washing tub during the washing stage. Thus, when the materials in the detergent chamber of the clothing treatment device are all cleaning agents, water is fed into at least two detergent chambers to ensure that all the cleaning agents are fed into the washing tub, thereby avoiding the situation that some cleaning agents in the cleaning chambers are not fed into the washing tub during the washing stage, and the cleaning agents are fed into the washing tub during the rinsing stage, resulting in insufficient rinsing of the clothes and residual cleaning agents.

[0089] In another possible scenario, the materials in at least two detergent chambers of the laundry processing device are softeners. In this case, the laundry processing device is controlled to prohibit the various stages of the washing program from proceeding directly, and a prompt message is issued to remind the user that the detergent has not been added to the detergent chamber of the laundry processing device, thereby avoiding an invalid washing process. Figure 8 The above process is introduced in detail. Figure 8Schematic diagram of the flow of another feeding control method for a clothing processing device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0090] like Figure 8 As shown, the method may further include the following steps:

[0091] Step 401, identifying the type of material according to the acidity or alkalinity of the material.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present application, the implementation process of step 401 refers to the implementation process of step 101 in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0093] Step 402, determining that the materials in at least two detergent chambers are softeners and no cleaning agent is identified.

[0094] In one possible scenario, based on the acidity and alkalinity of the materials, it is identified that the materials in at least two detergent chambers are softeners, and no cleaning agent is identified.

[0095] For example, if Figure 3 As shown, when the sensors 21 and 22 at the bottom of the detergent chamber of the laundry processing device 100 recognize that the pH values ​​of the materials in the detergent chambers are both less than 7, it can be determined that the materials in the two detergent chambers are softeners.

[0096] Step 403, issuing a prompt message.

[0097] In an embodiment of the present application, when the sensor of the clothing processing device determines that the materials in at least two detergent chambers are softeners and no cleaning agent is identified, the control unit of the clothing processing device issues a prompt message to be displayed on the display interface, thereby reminding the user that no cleaning agent has been put into the detergent chamber, thereby avoiding ineffective washing.

[0098] As another possible implementation, when the clothing processing device determines that the materials in at least two detergent chambers are softeners and no cleaning agent is identified, it can also sound an alarm to remind the user that no cleaning agent has been put into the detergent chamber.

[0099] Step 404, prohibiting execution of each stage of the washing program.

[0100] In an embodiment of the present application, the sensor of the clothing processing device determines that the materials in at least two detergent chambers are softeners. When the cleaning agent is not identified, the clothing processing device is controlled to prohibit the execution of various stages of the washing program, thereby avoiding incomplete washing of clothes without adding cleaning agent, thereby resulting in ineffective washing.

[0101] The feeding control method of the clothes processing device of the embodiment of the present application identifies the type of the material according to the acidity and alkalinity of the material, determines that the materials in at least two detergent chambers are softeners, and does not identify the cleaning agent, issues a prompt message, and prohibits the execution of each stage of the washing program. Therefore, when the materials in the detergent chamber of the clothes processing device are all softeners, the user is reminded of the wrong feeding, thereby avoiding an invalid washing process.

[0102] In order to implement the above-mentioned embodiment, the present application also proposes a material feeding control device of a clothing processing device.

[0103] Fig. 9 A schematic structural diagram of a feeding control device of a clothing processing device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0104] like Fig. 9 As shown, the feeding control device includes: an identification module 110 and a feeding module 120.

[0105] The identification module 110 is used to identify the type of the material according to the acidity and alkalinity of the material; the type is a detergent or a softener.

[0106] The delivery module 120 is used to deliver materials at the stage corresponding to the type.

[0107] As a possible implementation, the delivery module 120 is further configured to:

[0108] During the washing stage, the water inlet valve is controlled to allow water to flow into the detergent chamber containing the detergent, so as to put the detergent into the washing tub;

[0109] During the rinsing stage, the water inlet valve is controlled to allow water to flow into the detergent chamber containing the softener, so as to put the softener into the washing tub.

[0110] As another possible implementation, the feeding control device further includes:

[0111] The first determination module is used to determine and identify the cleaning agent and then start executing each stage of the washing program.

[0112] As another possible implementation, the delivery module 110 is further configured to:

[0113] Determining that the materials in at least two detergent chambers are cleaning agents, and the softener is not identified;

[0114] During the washing stage, the water inlet valve is controlled to allow water to flow into the at least two detergent chambers so as to put the cleaning agent into the washing tub.

[0115] As another possible implementation, the feeding control device further includes:

[0116] A second determination module is used to determine that the materials in the at least two detergent chambers are all softeners and the cleaning agent is not identified;

[0117] The prohibition module is used to prohibit the execution of each stage of the washing program.

[0118] As another possible implementation, the feeding control device further includes:

[0119] The prompt module is used to issue prompt information.

[0120] It should be noted that the above explanation of the embodiment of the feeding control method for a clothes processing device is also applicable to the feeding control device for a clothes processing device of this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0121] The feeding control device of the clothing treatment device of the embodiment of the present application identifies the type of material according to the acidity and alkalinity of the material; the type is detergent or softener; and the material is fed in at the stage corresponding to the type. This method does not require the user to learn how to feed detergent through graphic symbols or instructions. The user only needs to feed different types of materials into each detergent cavity at will. The clothing treatment device itself can identify the type of material at each feeding port, that is, identify whether there is detergent or softener in each detergent cavity, so as to feed it in the washing stage corresponding to the material type, thereby improving the user's laundry experience.
