Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of washing machine technology, and in particular to a control method for a pulsator washing machine and a pulsator washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing user base of top-loading washing machines, the demand for washing personalized clothing is growing. Washing down garments, as a personalized clothing program, has become an essential feature of fully automatic top-loading washing machines. Currently, washing machines have a dedicated down garment washing program. During the down garment washing process, a pressure cap is needed to hold the down garment in place and prevent it from floating, which would affect the washing effect. However, the pressure cap requires a structure to hold it in place, making the washing machine's structure complex. Furthermore, the friction between the down garment and the pressure cap during washing can cause some wear and tear. Additionally, the presence of the pressure cap during water intake can easily lead to water splashing, affecting the user experience. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a washing machine control method that can solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a control method for a pulsator washing machine and a pulsator washing machine, which solves the technical problems of existing methods that require the addition of a pressure cap for washing down garments, which leads to wear and tear on the down garments, and the presence of the pressure cap makes it easy for water to splash.

[0004] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] This invention provides a control method for a pulsator washing machine, comprising the following steps:

[0006] During the water intake process, the washing tub is in spin-drying mode. When the water in the washing tub reaches the first preset water level, the washing machine performs the washing cycle. After the washing cycle ends, the washing tub continues to be filled with water to the second preset water level, and the washing machine performs the washing cycle and the stop washing program.

[0007] The Tianmu Wash process is performed during the washing process of the washing program and / or the rinsing process of the rinsing program.

[0008] The control method of this pulsator washing machine involves the washing tub operating in spin-dry mode during water intake. When the water level in the tub reaches the first preset level, the washing machine performs a preliminary soaking process to wet down garments. After the water level continues to rise to the second preset level, the washing machine performs another soaking process and a spin-stop washing program. The soaking process continues to rinse the down garments, while the spin-stop washing program generates a large water vortex, quickly pulling the down garments into the water, increasing the probability of wetting them completely. This eliminates the need for a pressure cap, simplifying the washing machine's structure, preventing wear and tear on down garments, and avoiding splashing. The soaking process is performed during the washing and / or rinsing processes of the washing and rinsing programs to rinse the down garments, ensuring cleanliness while minimizing wear on the down, saving water resources, and guaranteeing rinsing effectiveness.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the control method for the aforementioned pulsator washing machine, the following steps are performed during the water intake process of both the washing and rinsing cycles:

[0010] When the washing tub is in spin-drying mode, and water enters the washing tub to the first preset water level, the washing machine performs the washing cycle. After the washing cycle ends, water continues to enter the washing tub to the second preset water level, and the washing machine performs the washing cycle and the stop washing program.

[0011] By performing the above steps during the water intake process of both the washing and rinsing cycles, down garments can be fully soaked during both cycles.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the control method for the above-mentioned pulsator washing machine, during the washing process of the washing program, after controlling the rotation of the washing tub to perform the washing process for time T1, the Tianmu washing process is executed.

[0013] During the rinsing process of the rinsing program, after controlling the rotation of the washing tub to perform a rinsing time of T2, the Tianmu washing process is executed.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the control method for the aforementioned pulsator washing machine, the Tianmu washing process is executed multiple times during the washing process of the washing program.

[0015] During the washing process, multiple wash cycles are performed to rinse the down garments and improve the cleaning effect.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the control method for the aforementioned pulsator washing machine, the Tianmu washing process interval is set multiple times.

[0017] The multiple wash cycles are spaced apart to rinse down garments during the washing process, which helps to improve the washing effect.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the control method for the aforementioned pulsator washing machine, the Tianmu washing process is executed multiple times during the rinsing process of the rinsing program.

[0019] During the rinsing process, multiple rinse cycles are performed to thoroughly clean the down garments and ensure effective rinsing.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment of the control method for the aforementioned pulsator washing machine, the Tianmu washing process interval is set multiple times.

[0021] Multiple wash cycles are set at intervals to rinse down garments during the rinsing process and prevent them from floating.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment of the control method for the aforementioned pulsator washing machine, the rinsing program includes multiple rinsing processes.

[0023] The washing process includes multiple rinsing steps to ensure that down garments are thoroughly cleaned.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment of the control method for the aforementioned pulsator washing machine, the Tianmu washing process is performed at least once during each rinsing process.

[0025] Performing at least one Tianmu wash cycle during each rinsing process can save water resources and ensure rinsing effectiveness.

[0026] The present invention also provides a pulsator washing machine, which is controlled by the above-described control method for pulsator washing machines.

[0027] This pulsator washing machine uses the control method described above to prevent down clothing from floating, ensuring a good washing effect, solving water resource issues, eliminating the need for a pressure cap, and reducing production costs.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0029] The present invention proposes a control method for a pulsator washing machine. During the water intake process, the washing tub operates in a spin-drying state. When the water level in the tub reaches a first preset level, the washing machine performs a preliminary soaking process to initially wet down garments. After the water level continues to rise to a second preset level, the washing machine performs another soaking process and a spin-stop washing program. The soaking process further rinses the down garments, while the spin-stop washing program generates a large water vortex, rapidly pulling the down garments into the water, increasing the probability of wetting them completely. This eliminates the need for a pressure cap, simplifying the washing machine's structure and preventing wear and tear on the down garments, as well as splashing. The soaking process is performed during the washing and / or rinsing processes of the washing and rinsing programs to rinse the down garments, ensuring cleanliness while minimizing wear on the down, saving water resources, and guaranteeing rinsing effectiveness.

[0030] The pulsator washing machine proposed in this invention uses the control method of the above-mentioned pulsator washing machine to prevent down clothing from floating, ensure washing effect, solve water resource problems, eliminate the need for a pressure cap, and reduce production costs.

[0032] The present invention 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 invention 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 invention, and not all of the structures.

[0036] Example 1:

[0037] Currently, washing machines have a down-wash program. During the down-washing process, a pressure cap is needed to hold the down garments in place and prevent them from floating and affecting the washing effect. However, this pressure cap requires a structure to hold it in place, making the washing machine's structure complex. Furthermore, the friction between the down garments and the pressure cap during washing can cause some wear and tear. Additionally, the presence of the pressure cap during water intake can easily lead to water splashing, affecting the user experience.

[0038] To address the aforementioned problems, this embodiment provides a control method for a pulsator washing machine, comprising the following steps: During the water intake process, the washing tub operates in a spin-drying state. When the water level in the washing tub reaches a first preset level, the washing machine performs a top-down three-dimensional water flow to rinse the down garments in the tub, initially wetting them. After the top-down washing process ends, water continues to enter the washing tub to a second preset level. The washing machine then performs a top-down washing process and a spin-stop washing program. The top-down washing process continues to rinse the down garments, while the spin-stop washing program generates a large water vortex, rapidly pulling the down garments into the water, increasing the probability of wetting them and ensuring complete soaking. This eliminates the need for a pressure cap, simplifies the washing machine's structure, avoids wear and tear on the down garments, and prevents water splashing.

[0039] A thorough washing process is performed during the washing and / or rinsing processes of the washing and rinsing programs to rinse down garments, ensuring they are clean while reducing wear and tear on the down, saving water resources, and guaranteeing rinsing effectiveness.

[0040] The washing process involves the inner tub of the washing machine rotating, or the inner tub and the impeller rotating as a whole. This causes the water in the inner tub to rise along the water flow channel between the inner and outer tubs under the action of centrifugal force, to the outer tub cover, and then return to the inner tub from the outer tub cover, forming a top-down washing water flow.

[0041] It should be noted that the above operations can be performed during the water intake process of the washing program, or during both the water intake process of the washing program and the water intake process of the rinsing program.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] This embodiment provides a control method for a pulsator washing machine, which is a further improvement upon Embodiment 1. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the control method of a pulsator washing machine includes the following steps:

[0044] S20, Washing machine power is on.

[0045] S21. Before water is introduced, determine whether the clothes to be washed in the washing tub are down garments.

[0046] By determining whether the clothes to be washed in the washing tub are down garments before water is introduced, the washing machine can perform targeted cleaning based on the type of clothing.

[0047] Optionally, during the process of placing the clothes to be washed into the washing tub, a barcode scanner can be used to scan the barcodes of the clothes to identify their material. Alternatively, a camera can be used to photograph the clothes to compare and confirm their material type. In other embodiments, a selection button for a down jacket washing program can be provided on the washing machine for user selection.

[0048] If so, start the down washing program and proceed to S23.

[0049] S22. If not, then wash according to the standard procedure.

[0050] The washing machine has a standard program set up. When the down washing program is not used or a special program is not selected, the clothes will be washed according to the standard program.

[0051] S23. During the water intake process of the washing program, the washing tub is in the spin-drying state. When the water in the washing tub reaches the first preset water level, the washing machine will start the washing process.

[0052] During the washing process, the washing machine uses a three-dimensional water flow from top to bottom to rinse the down garments in the washing tub, thus initially wetting them.

[0053] S24. After the Tianmu Wash process is completed, water continues to enter the washing tub until the second preset water level is reached, and the washing machine then performs the Tianmu Wash process and the stop washing program.

[0054] The second preset water level is higher than the first preset water level, and the second preset water level is the washing water level of the washing tub. The Tianmu washing process can continue to rinse down garments. The spin-stop washing program, through high speed and large spin-stop, can generate a large water vortex, which quickly pulls down garments into the water, increasing the probability of soaking them and ensuring that the down garments are completely soaked. There is no need to set a pressure cap, which reduces production costs.

[0055] Optionally, the washing cycle includes a preset time for the washing tub to rotate and a preset time for it to stop. In this embodiment, the washing tub rotates for 2 to 10 seconds and stops rotating for 2 to 10 seconds. The specific timing of the washing cycle can be set according to requirements.

[0056] S25. The washing process of the washing machine is a washing program, and the washing process is a washing process.

[0057] Optionally, during the washing process of the washing program, after controlling the rotation of the washing tub to perform the washing process for time T1, the Tianmu washing process is performed; preferably, T1 is 0 to 5 minutes, more preferably, T1 is 1 minute.

[0058] Optionally, during the washing process, multiple "Tianmu Wash" cycles can be performed to rinse the down garments and improve the cleaning effect. Setting intervals between these multiple "Tianmu Wash" cycles to rinse the down garments during the washing process is beneficial for improving the washing effect.

[0059] S26. The washing program ends and the rinsing program begins. During the water intake process of the rinsing program, the washing tub is in spin-drying mode. When the water in the washing tub reaches the first preset water level, the washing machine will start the washing process.

[0060] The above operation is performed during the water intake process of the rinsing program to rinse the clothes. Since the down clothes are already wet after the washing stage, the rinsing process is combined with the washing process to save water resources.

[0061] It should be noted that the first preset water level in the rinsing stage and the first preset water level in the washing stage can be the same or different.

[0062] S27. After the Tianmu Wash process is completed, water continues to enter the washing tub to the second preset water level, and the washing machine will then perform the Tianmu Wash process and the stop washing program.

[0063] The above steps allow the garments to be pulled into the water, making it easier to rinse down jackets.

[0064] It should be noted that the second preset water level in the rinsing stage and the second preset water level in the washing stage can be the same or different.

[0065] S28. The washing machine performs a rinsing process during the rinsing cycle.

[0066] Optionally, during the rinsing process, after controlling the washing tub to rotate and performing a rinsing cycle of time T2, the Tianmu wash cycle is executed. Preferably, T2 is 4 to 8 minutes.

[0067] Preferably, during the rinsing process, multiple rinse cycles are performed to wash the down garments and ensure the rinsing effect.

[0068] Optionally, multiple wash cycles can be set at intervals to rinse down garments during the rinsing process and prevent them from floating.

[0069] The rinsing process includes multiple rinsing steps to ensure the down garments are thoroughly cleaned. Each rinsing step includes at least one "Tianmu Wash" cycle to conserve water and guarantee effective rinsing. Alternatively, it may not be necessary to perform the Tianmu Wash cycle in every rinsing step.

[0070] S29. Rinsing is complete, and the washing machine enters the spin-drying program.

[0071] During the spin-drying process, the weight change of the garment is detected to determine if water droplets are present. If so, the down garment is safely spun dry.

[0072] S30, the spin-drying program is over, and the washing process is over.
