Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of shoe washing, and in particular relates to a control method of a shoe washing machine and the shoe washing machine. Background Art

[0002] Shoes are one of the most frequently used items of clothing. However, due to the enclosed environment in which shoes are worn, they are prone to odor, necessitating shoe brushing. Shoe washing machines, one of the more common shoe brushing devices currently available, have emerged to meet the growing demand for shoe cleaning. Their cleaning performance is a key concern for users. However, existing shoe washing machines, due to limitations in their structure and cleaning principles, are not ideal for cleaning shoes.

[0003] Currently, the most widely used shoe washing machines are based on pulsator washing machines, which either directly add brushes or add brushes to the inner wall. The water flow from the rotating pulsator drives the relative movement between the shoes and the brush to clean the shoes. However, when washing larger shoes, the shoes can easily become stuck, resulting in only parts of the shoes being over-washed while other parts are not fully cleaned. This not only results in suboptimal washing results but also poses a risk of shoe damage. Although there is another type of shoe washing machine available today that fixes the shoes to a rotating bracket before washing, causing the shoes to rotate with the bracket, and then cleans the shoes through a spray method, this washing method only relies on the flushing of water to attempt to remove stains on the shoes. It is generally effective in removing loose dust and other loosely adhered dirt, but its cleaning effect on stubborn stains is relatively limited.

[0004] Based on this, the applicant improved the shoe washing machine in the application document with application number 202110368915.8, but there were still some shortcomings in the control method of the improved shoe washing machine. Therefore, a new solution is proposed here to make the improved shoe washing machine more perfect in the control method and achieve better shoe washing effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the fact that the spray-type shoe washing machine in the prior art has a limited cleaning effect on stubborn stains, and the brush-type shoe washing machine is prone to causing shoes to get stuck when washing some larger shoes, the present invention provides a control method for a shoe washing machine, the shoe washing machine comprising a washing bucket, a driving unit being provided on the outside of the washing bucket, a washing unit being provided on the inside of the washing bucket, the washing unit comprising a ball brush, and the ball brush being drivably connected to the output end of the driving unit. The control method comprises the following steps:

[0014] In the preferred technical solution of the control method of the shoe washing machine, the shoe washing machine further includes an image collector communicatively connected to the processor of the shoe washing machine, and the step of "obtaining the predetermined water inflow volume of the washing tub" further includes:

[0015] An image of the shoes in the washing tub is acquired, and a predetermined water intake volume of the washing tub is acquired based on the image.

[0016] In a preferred technical solution of the control method of the shoe washing machine, the shoe washing machine further includes a weight sensor communicatively connected to the processor of the shoe washing machine, and the step of "obtaining the predetermined water inflow volume of the washing tub" further includes:

[0017] The weight of the shoes in the washing tub is obtained, and the predetermined water intake of the washing tub is obtained based on the weight of the shoes in the washing tub.

[0018] In a preferred technical solution of the control method for the above-mentioned shoe washing machine, the shoe washing machine further includes a sterilization unit. After the step of "controlling the washing tub to drain water after washing is completed", the control method further includes:

[0019] The shoes in the washing tub are sterilized by the sterilization unit.

[0020] In the preferred technical solution of the control method of the shoe washing machine, the step of "controlling the washing part to rotate at different rotation-stop ratios according to the acquired shoe size" further includes:

[0021] The larger the acquired shoe size is, the larger the rotation-stop ratio of the scrubbing portion is controlled.

[0022] In the preferred technical solution of the control method of the shoe washing machine, the step of "controlling the washing part to rotate at different rotation-stop ratios according to the acquired shoe size" further includes:

[0023] When the acquired shoe size is smaller than size 40, the rotation-stop ratio of the ball brush is controlled to be a first set value;

[0024] When the acquired shoe size is between 40 and 43, controlling the rotation and stop ratio of the ball brush to a second set value;

[0025] When the acquired shoe size is greater than size 43, controlling the rotation and stop ratio of the ball brush to a third set value;

[0026] The first setting value is less than the second setting value and less than the third setting value.

[0027] In the preferred technical solution of the control method of the shoe washing machine, the scrubbing part further includes a pulsator, the ball brush is fixedly arranged at the center of the pulsator, the pulsator is drivingly connected to the output end of the driving part, and / or,

[0028] The ball brush includes a base and a brush member. The brush member is cylindrical and is arranged on the base. The base is drivingly connected to the output end of the driving part.

[0029] The present invention also provides a shoe washing machine, which is configured to execute the control method for the shoe washing machine described in any one of the above technical solutions.

[0030] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that, in the technical solution of the present invention, the shoe washing machine includes a washing tub, a driving unit is provided on the outside of the washing tub, a scrubbing unit is provided on the inside of the washing tub, the scrubbing unit includes a ball brush, and the ball brush is drivably connected to the output end of the driving unit. The control method includes the following steps:

[0031] Obtaining a predetermined water inflow into the washing tub;

[0035] Through the above-mentioned configuration, the shoe washing machine of the present invention can, by executing the control method of the present invention, flexibly wash shoes of different sizes at different rotation-stop ratios according to the size of the shoes placed in the washing tub. When the shoes placed in the washing tub are small in size, the washing tub can wash the shoes at a smaller rotation-stop ratio, thereby preventing the small shoes from being excessively scrubbed or even worn when the washing tub rotates at a larger rotation-stop ratio. However, when the shoes placed in the washing tub are large in size, if the washing tub still washes the shoes at the rotation-stop ratio used for washing small shoes, it is easy for the large-sized shoes to be washed uncleanly, and the washing time is long. In addition, the shoes are easily stuck. Large-sized shoes that are stuck are usually only repeatedly scrubbed by the washing tub at a local location, while other locations are difficult to be effectively cleaned. As a result, not only is the cleaning effect on the large-sized shoes poor, but they are also easily damaged. The washing part can wash large-sized shoes according to a larger rotation-stop ratio. Through the rotation of the washing part, a larger water flow can be formed in the washing tub, which effectively prevents large-sized shoes from getting stuck in the washing tub, and also improves the washing effect of large-sized shoes.

[0040] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are merely used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments to them as needed to adapt to specific applications. For example, although the specification uses the example of obtaining the height of the water level in the washing tub by a water level sensor as an example, the present invention can obviously adopt other similar means, such as using an image collector to capture images and then recognize them, as long as the height of the water level in the washing tub can be obtained.

[0041] It should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, terms such as "inside" and "outside" indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. This is only for the convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0042] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "connected," "provided with," etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they may refer to direct connections or indirect connections via an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0043] In order to solve the problem that the existing spray-type shoe washing machine has a limited cleaning effect on stubborn stains, and the brush-type shoe washing machine easily causes shoes to get stuck when washing some larger shoes, the present invention provides a control method for a shoe washing machine. Since the control method of the present invention is implemented based on a ball brush type rather than a conventional columnar brush type shoe washing machine, the structure of the shoe washing machine in the present invention is first described.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the shoe washing machine of the present invention includes a washing tub 1, with a drive unit 2 disposed externally therefrom. The drive unit 2 may be a motor. A scrubbing unit 3 is disposed within the washing tub 1. The scrubbing unit 3 includes a ball brush 31 and a pulsator 32. The ball brush 31 is fixedly mounted at the center of the pulsator 32 and is drivably connected to the output of the drive unit 2. The ball brush 31 includes a base 311 and bristles 312. The bristles 312 are cylindrical and disposed on the base 311. The bristles 312 may be made of silicone and evenly distributed on the base 311, significantly reducing friction damage to the shoes during washing. The shoe washing machine also includes a sterilization unit (not shown), which may include an ultraviolet device and a heater. The shoe washing machine also includes an image collector (not shown), which is communicatively connected to the machine's processor (not shown). The shoe washing machine also includes a weight sensor (not shown), which is communicatively connected to the machine's processor. The control method of the shoe washing machine of the present invention is described below.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the control method includes the following steps:

[0046] S1. Obtaining a predetermined water inflow into the washing tub.

[0047] The weight of the shoes in the washing tub is obtained by a weight sensor, and the predetermined water intake of the washing tub can be obtained therefrom.

[0048] S2. Obtain the size of the shoes placed in the washing tub.

[0049] The image of the shoe can be acquired through the image collector, and the size of the shoe can be obtained through the processor.

[0050] S3. When the actual water volume in the washing tub reaches or approaches the predetermined water volume, the washing part is controlled to rotate at different rotation and stop ratios according to the acquired shoe size.

[0051] The water level sensor can detect the water level in the washing tub to avoid insufficient or excessive water in the tub. Since the water level is not strictly required, the actual water intake can be slightly greater or less than the predetermined intake without affecting the washing effect. The rotation-stop ratio refers to the ratio of the rotation time of the scrubbing unit 3 to the stop time.

[0052] When the shoe size is less than size 40, the rotation / stop ratio of the ball brush is controlled to a first set value. The first set value is 1, specifically 0.5 / 0.5, which means that the scrubbing portion 3 first rotates clockwise for 0.5 seconds and then pauses for 0.5 seconds, then rotates counterclockwise for 0.5 seconds and then pauses for 0.5 seconds. Of course, the scrubbing portion 3 may also first rotate counterclockwise for 0.5 seconds and then pause for 0.5 seconds, then rotate clockwise for 0.5 seconds and then pause for 0.5 seconds.

[0053] When the shoe size is between 40 and 43 (inclusive), the rotation-stop ratio of the ball brush is controlled to be a second set value. The second set value is greater than the first set value, and the second set value is 4. Specifically, it can be 2 / 0.5, which means that the scrubbing part 3 can first rotate clockwise for 2 seconds and then pause for 0.5 seconds, then rotate counterclockwise for 2 seconds and then pause for 0.5 seconds. Of course, the scrubbing part 3 can also first rotate counterclockwise for 2 seconds and then pause for 0.5 seconds, then rotate clockwise for 2 seconds and then pause for 0.5 seconds.

[0054] When the shoe size is greater than size 43, the rotation-stop ratio of the ball brush is controlled to a third set value. The third set value is greater than the second set value and is 8. Specifically, it can be 4 / 0.5, which means that the scrubbing portion 3 can first rotate clockwise for 4 seconds and then pause for 0.5 seconds, then rotate counterclockwise for 4 seconds and then pause for 0.5 seconds. Of course, the scrubbing portion 3 can also first rotate counterclockwise for 4 seconds and then pause for 0.5 seconds, then rotate clockwise for 4 seconds and then pause for 0.5 seconds.

[0055] The shoe size refers to the old Chinese shoe size. Obviously, when the shoes to be washed are in European shoe size, American shoe size, British shoe size or new Chinese shoe size, the old Chinese shoe size can be obtained after conversion, and the ball brush can be controlled to rotate with a corresponding rotation-stop ratio according to the corresponding value.

[0056] Moreover, when the scrubbing portion 3 is respectively in the three different rotation-stop ratio states and is in a stable rotation process, the rotation speed is the same.

[0057] S4. After washing is completed, control the washing tub to drain.

[0058] The water in the washing tub 1 can be drained naturally by gravity, or it can be pumped out by a pump (not shown) to speed up the drainage process.

[0059] S5. The shoes in the washing tub are sterilized by the sterilization unit.

[0060] The shoe washing machine in this embodiment is configured to be able to execute the above-mentioned control method.

[0061] It should be noted that the above-mentioned embodiments are only used to illustrate the principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can adjust the above-mentioned structure so that the present invention can be applied to more specific application scenarios. These do not deviate from the principles of the present invention and therefore will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0062] For example, in an alternative embodiment, the image of the water surface in the washing tub may be captured by an image collector and then recognized, and the height of the water level in the washing tub may also be obtained.

[0063] For example, in another alternative embodiment, for cost and installation space considerations, the sterilization unit may also use only one of the ultraviolet device and the heater (not shown in the figure).

[0064] For example, in another alternative embodiment, the ball brush 31 can also be set to multiple. In addition to setting the ball brush 31 at the center of the impeller 32, multiple ball brushes 31 can also be set at non-center positions of the impeller 32 (not shown in the figure).

[0065] For example, in another alternative embodiment, the ball brush 31 may not be arranged at the center position of the impeller 32 , and multiple ball brushes 31 may be arranged at non-center positions of the impeller 32 (not shown in the figure).

[0066] For example, in another alternative embodiment, the ball brush 31 can be detachably connected to the pulsator 32, such as by a snap-on connection or bolted connection. During actual washing, different ball brushes 31 can be flexibly selected based on the different conditions of the shoes. For soft shoes, a soft ball brush can be used. For shoes made of harder materials, a harder ball brush can be used.

[0067] For example, in another alternative embodiment, the brush member 312 and the base body 311 may be detachably connected to facilitate comprehensive and thorough cleaning of the brush member 312 .

[0068] For example, in another alternative embodiment, the brush member 312 may also be in other shapes such as a cuboid (not shown in the figure).

[0069] For example, in another alternative embodiment, the brush member 312 may also be made of polypropylene, so that the brush member 312 has good stability.

[0070] For example, in another alternative embodiment, the weight sensor may not be provided. In step S1, the image of the shoes in the washing tub may be acquired by an image collector, and then the predetermined water intake of the washing tub may be acquired by the processor of the shoe washing machine.

[0071] For example, in another alternative embodiment, in steps S1 and S2, the number and size of shoes placed in the washing tub can be obtained not only through automatic detection, but also by obtaining user input. Specifically, the user enters the correct number and size of shoes on a control panel (not shown) on the shoe washing machine that is in communication with the processor. This avoids errors in automatic detection that could result in incorrect shoe sizes being obtained, which could affect the washing process.

[0072] For example, in another alternative embodiment, in step S3, the speed of the scrubbing unit 3 during stable rotation may also be different. For example, the speed may be the lowest when the scrubbing unit 3 rotation-stop ratio is a first set value, the speed may be higher when the scrubbing unit 3 rotation-stop ratio is a second set value than when the scrubbing unit 3 rotation-stop ratio is the first set value, and the speed may be the highest when the scrubbing unit 3 rotation-stop ratio is a third set value.

[0073] For example, in another alternative embodiment, in step S3, the rotation time and stop time of the scrubbing part 3 when the rotation-stop ratio is the first set value can also be adjusted, as long as the first set value is 1, for example, it can be 0.8 / 0.8, etc.

[0074] For example, in another alternative embodiment, in step S3, the first set value may be adjusted based on the actual situation on the basis that the first set value is less than the second set value. For example, the first set value may be 1.5.

[0075] For example, in another alternative embodiment, in step S3, the rotation time and stop time of the scrubbing part 3 when the rotation-stop ratio is the first set value can also be adjusted, as long as the second set value is 4, for example, it can be 3.6 / 0.9, etc.

[0076] For example, in another alternative embodiment, in step S3, the second set value may be adjusted based on the actual situation on the basis that the second set value is less than the third set value. For example, the second set value may be 4.5.

[0077] For example, in another alternative embodiment, in step S3, the rotation time and stop time of the scrubbing part 3 when the rotation-stop ratio is the first set value can also be adjusted, as long as the third set value is 8, for example, it can be 4.8 / 0.6, etc.

[0078] For example, in another alternative embodiment, in step S3, the third set value may be adjusted based on actual conditions on the basis that the third set value is greater than the second set value. For example, the third set value may be 8.8.

[0079] For example, in another alternative embodiment, the setting of the rotation-stop ratio of the ball brush can also be adjusted according to actual conditions. For example, when the acquired shoe size is less than size 39, the rotation-stop ratio of the ball brush is controlled to a first set value. When the acquired shoe size is between sizes 39 and 44 (inclusive), the rotation-stop ratio of the ball brush is controlled to a second set value. When the acquired shoe size is greater than size 44, the rotation-stop ratio of the ball brush is controlled to a third set value.

[0080] For example, in another alternative embodiment, since shoe sizes are usually fixed at multiple values, a rotation-stop ratio of the brush corresponding to each shoe size can also be set. In step S3, the larger the obtained shoe size, the larger the rotation-stop ratio of the brush portion.

[0081] In summary, the shoe washing machine of the present invention can flexibly wash shoes of different sizes at different rotation-stop ratios according to the size of the shoes placed in the washing tub by executing the control method of the present invention. When the size of the shoes placed in the washing tub is small, the washing tub can wash the shoes at a smaller rotation-stop ratio, which can avoid excessive scrubbing of the small-sized shoes and even causing wear when the washing tub rotates at a larger rotation-stop ratio. However, when the size of the shoes placed in the washing tub is large, if the washing tub still washes the shoes at the rotation-stop ratio used for washing small-sized shoes, it is easy for the large-sized shoes to be washed uncleanly, and the washing time is long. In addition, the shoes are easy to get stuck. The stuck large-sized shoes are usually only repeatedly scrubbed by the washing tub at a local position, while other positions are difficult to be effectively washed. Therefore, not only is the scrubbing effect on the large-sized shoes poor, but they are also easily damaged.

[0082] Once a shoe becomes stuck in a common cylindrical brush-type shoe washer in the prior art, it is difficult to unblock it by adjusting the rotation-stop ratio. Even if the shoe is unblocked, it is easy for the shoe to be damaged due to excessive force. The ball-brush-type shoe washer of the present invention, on the other hand, mainly uses a ball brush to wash the shoes. There are no obstacles above the ball brush, and the ball brush rotates forward and backward periodically. The washing part can wash large-sized shoes with a larger rotation-stop ratio. The rotation of the washing part can form a larger water flow in the washing tub, and the water level in the washing tub is also relatively high, providing space for large-sized shoes to roll. Therefore, under the combined action of the water flow, the impeller, and the ball brush, large-sized shoes can be effectively prevented from getting stuck in the washing tub, while also improving the washing effect of large-sized shoes.

[0083] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the control method for the shoe washing machine described above also includes other known structures, such as a processor, a controller, and a memory. The memory includes, but is not limited to, random access memory, flash memory, read-only memory, programmable read-only memory, volatile memory, non-volatile memory, serial memory, parallel memory, or registers. The processor includes, but is not limited to, CPLD / FPGA, DSP, ARM processor, MIPS processor, etc. To unnecessarily obscure the embodiments of the present invention, these known structures are not shown in the drawings.

[0084] Thus far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art may make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
