Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of washing equipment, in particular to a display control method of washing equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] The existing washing equipment displays the working state of the washing equipment in the working process of the washing equipment by setting a display unit, but most of the washing equipment only displays the remaining value of the total duration of the current running laundry program. In this case, the user cannot know the specific running progress of each laundry stage in the laundry program through the display unit, nor can the user query the set value of the parameters corresponding to each laundry stage after the laundry program starts, which affects the user experience.

[0003] The Chinese patent with the application number 201610422055.0 discloses a washing machine touch display method, which comprises the following steps: S1 receiving a touch signal for starting the washing machine; S2 the touch panel of the washing machine displays the keys step by step at a first predetermined time interval until all the keys are displayed, wherein the keys include a plurality of main keys and sub-keys, and each main key corresponds to a plurality of sub-keys; S3 the touch panel enters an operation interface, and the operation interface displays the main keys; S4 when a specified main key is selected, a plurality of sub-keys under the specified main key are displayed at a second predetermined time interval; S5 a specified sub-key under the specified main key is selected; S6 the selected specified sub-key is displayed at a first brightness, and the remaining sub-keys under the specified main key are displayed at a second brightness, wherein the first brightness is different from the second brightness. However, in the above-mentioned scheme, the user touches the display area of the touch panel during the running of the washing machine, and the touch panel only displays the main key that has not been run and the selected specified sub-key under the main key, so the user still cannot know the specific running situation of each laundry stage.

[0004] Therefore, the present application is proposed. SUMMARY

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, and to provide a display control method of washing equipment, which displays the remaining value of the parameters corresponding to a plurality of laundry stages during the running process, so as to facilitate the user to know the running or setting situation of different laundry stages after the laundry program starts.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the basic idea of the technical solution of the present application is:

[0007] A display control method of washing equipment, the washing equipment comprising a display unit, the display control method comprising:

[0008] During the operation of the washing apparatus, the display unit can display a plurality of washing stages of a current washing program and a remaining value of a parameter corresponding to each washing stage.

[0009] Further, the washing apparatus further comprises a plurality of washing stage setting keys, each of which corresponds to a different washing stage of the washing program; and the display control method comprises:

[0010] During the operation of the washing apparatus, if a signal is received that any of the washing stage setting keys is triggered, the display unit displays a remaining value of a parameter corresponding to the washing stage corresponding to the triggered washing stage setting key.

[0011] Preferably, the washing apparatus determines whether the pause key is triggered before the washing stage setting key is triggered.

[0012] If the determination result is no, the display unit displays the remaining value of the parameter corresponding to the washing stage corresponding to the triggered washing stage setting key.

[0013] If the determination result is yes, the washing apparatus adjusts the set value of the parameter corresponding to the washing stage according to the signal that the washing stage setting key is triggered.

[0014] Further, after the washing apparatus receives a signal that the program display key is triggered, the washing apparatus determines the running progress of the washing stage corresponding to the triggered washing stage setting key.

[0015] If the washing stage is running, the display unit displays the remaining value of the parameter corresponding to the washing stage.

[0016] If the washing stage has not started running, the display unit displays the set value of the parameter corresponding to the washing stage.

[0017] Preferably, if the washing stage has completed running, the display unit displays a remaining value of 0 or displays a prompt information that the washing stage has completed running.

[0018] Further, during the display of the remaining value of the parameter by the display unit, if the washing apparatus receives a signal that the same washing stage setting key is triggered again, the display unit displays the total duration of the remaining washing stages.

[0019] Further, after the display unit starts displaying the remaining value of the parameter corresponding to any washing stage, if no operation signal of the user is received within a preset duration, the display unit displays the total duration of the remaining washing stages.

[0020] Further, the washing apparatus further comprises a washing stage display key, and the display control method comprises:

[0021] If the washing stage display key is triggered during the operation of the washing device, the display unit displays the remaining values of the parameters corresponding to the washing stages in the washing program currently being executed in the order of the operation of the washing stages.

[0022] Further, the display unit displays the washing stages in the order from the initial washing stage of the washing program currently being executed.

[0023] Preferably, for the washing stages that have completed the operation, the display unit displays a remaining value of 0 or a prompt message indicating that the washing stage has completed the operation.

[0024] Preferably, the display unit displays the washing stages that have not completed the operation and the remaining values of the parameters corresponding to the washing stages that have not completed the operation at a first brightness, and displays the washing stages that have completed the operation at a second brightness different from the first brightness.

[0025] Further, the display unit displays the remaining washing stages in the order from the washing stage currently being executed.

[0026] Preferably, each washing stage has a display duration T, and after the washing device receives the signal that the washing stage display key is triggered, the display unit compares the remaining duration t of the washing stage currently being executed with the display duration T.

[0027] If t < T, the display unit skips the washing stage currently being executed and displays the remaining washing stages in the order from the next washing stage.

[0028] Further, during the display of the washing stages and the remaining values of the parameters by the display unit, if the washing device receives the signal that the washing stage display key is triggered again, the display unit displays the total duration of the remaining washing stages.

[0029] Preferably, after the display unit displays the washing stages and the remaining values of the parameters for N rounds, the display unit displays the total duration of the remaining washing stages, where N is a set value.

[0030] Further, the washing device further comprises washing stage setting keys having display functions, and the washing stage setting keys correspond to different washing stages in the washing program.

[0031] When the display unit displays the remaining values of the parameters corresponding to any washing stage, the corresponding washing stage setting key is highlighted.

[0032] Preferably, the highlighting of the corresponding washing stage setting key comprises:

[0033] The corresponding washing stage setting key is displayed in a third brightness, and the other washing stage setting keys are displayed in a fourth brightness, the third brightness being different from the fourth brightness.

[0034] Alternatively, the corresponding washing stage setting key is displayed in a flashing manner.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the washing equipment has the following beneficial effects.

[0036] The washing equipment can display the remaining values of the parameters corresponding to different washing stages during operation through the display unit, so that the user can understand the running or setting conditions of different washing stages after starting the washing program, and the user experience is good.

[0037] The washing equipment can display the washing stage according to the user's selection, further improving the user experience. The washing stage setting key can realize both the parameter setting function and the parameter remaining value display function, and the function to be realized by the washing stage setting key is determined by triggering or not triggering the pause key, which is one key with multiple functions and saves the manufacturing cost of the washing equipment.

[0038] The washing equipment directly displays the setting value of the parameter of the washing stage that has not started running, i.e., the remaining value of the parameter, simplifies the operation logic, and improves the response speed.

[0039] The washing equipment automatically displays the remaining values of the parameters of multiple washing stages in sequence through the washing stage display key, which is convenient for the user to operate.

[0040] The washing equipment controls the display unit to display only the washing stages that have not completed running, which is convenient for the user to more intuitively understand the current running process. When the remaining duration of the currently running washing stage is less than the display duration thereof, the display unit is controlled to skip the washing stage, so as to avoid the situation that the user misunderstands that the washing stage has completed running but the display unit still displays the washing stage.

[0041] The specific embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0056] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical scheme in the embodiments will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and the following embodiments are used to illustrate the present application, but not to limit the scope of the present application.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0058] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0059] Example 1

[0060] This embodiment provides a display control method for a washing device, including but not limited to washing machines and washer-dryer combos. The following description uses a washing machine as an example.

[0061] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the washing machine includes a control panel, on which a display unit 1 is provided. The display control method includes: during the operation of the washing machine, the display unit 1 can display multiple washing stages of the current washing program and the remaining values ​​of the parameters corresponding to the multiple washing stages.

[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, the multiple washing stages include soaking, washing, rinsing, and dehydration, and the remaining values ​​of the corresponding parameters are the remaining soaking time, the remaining washing time, the remaining number of rinsing cycles, and the remaining dehydration time, respectively.

[0063] The control panel also features several washing stage setting buttons 2, including "Soak," "Wash," "Rinse," and "Spin." These washing stage setting buttons 2 correspond to different washing stages in the washing program.

[0064] After turning on the washing machine, the user can press the setting buttons 2 for each washing stage to set the parameters for that stage, thus completing the washing program setup. Then, the user can start the washing program by pressing the start / pause button 3 on the control panel, and the washing machine will begin running. Figure 2 As shown, after the washing program starts, the display unit 1 displays the remaining time of the currently running washing program in real time.

[0065] like Figure 1As shown, the display control method of this embodiment includes: during the operation of the washing machine, if a signal is received that any washing stage setting key 2 is triggered, the display unit 1 is controlled to display the remaining value of the parameter corresponding to the washing stage corresponding to the triggered washing stage setting key 2.

[0066] Furthermore, the washing machine first determines whether the start / pause button 3 is triggered before the washing stage setting button 2 is triggered.

[0067] If the judgment result is negative, the control display unit 1 displays the remaining value of the parameter corresponding to the washing stage corresponding to the triggered washing stage setting key 2.

[0068] If the judgment result is yes, the washing machine is controlled to adjust the setting value of the parameter corresponding to the washing stage according to the signal triggered by the washing stage setting key 2.

[0069] In the above solution, the washing stage setting key 2 has the function of setting parameters corresponding to different washing stages, and also has the function of displaying the remaining parameter values ​​on the display unit 1. This multi-functionality saves on the manufacturing cost of the washing machine. When the washing stage setting key 2 is triggered, the washing machine needs to first determine the function the user wishes to achieve, and then issue the corresponding control command.

[0070] Specifically, during the washing program, the user typically triggers the washing stage setting button 2 to check the status of the washing stage. When the user needs to reset the specific parameters of the washing stage, they generally need to pause the washing program before proceeding. By checking whether the start / pause button 3 is triggered, the system determines whether the current washing program is paused, and thus determines the function that the washing stage setting button 2 should perform, thereby controlling the washing machine.

[0071] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, after the washing machine receives the signal that the washing stage setting key 2 has been triggered, it determines the running process of the washing stage corresponding to the triggered washing stage setting key 2.

[0072] If the washing stage is in operation, the control display unit 1 displays the remaining values ​​of the parameters corresponding to that washing stage.

[0073] If the washing stage has not started, the control display unit 1 displays the set values ​​of the parameters corresponding to the washing stage.

[0074] In the above scheme, the washing machine first determines the progress of the washing stage. For the washing stage that has not started, the remaining values ​​of its parameters are also the set values. By directly displaying the set values ​​of the parameters, the calculation logic is simplified and the response speed is improved.

[0075] Preferably, when the washing stage corresponding to the washing stage setting key 2 triggered by the user has been completed, the remaining value displayed by the control display unit 1 is 0, or a prompt message indicating that the washing stage has been completed is displayed.

[0076] In a further embodiment, when the display unit 1 displays the remaining value of the parameter corresponding to a certain washing stage, if the washing machine receives a signal that the washing stage setting key 2 corresponding to that washing stage is triggered again, it controls the display unit 1 to display the total duration of the remaining washing stage.

[0077] In the above scheme, the user can obtain the remaining value of the parameter corresponding to the washing stage by triggering any washing stage setting key 2. When the user wants to know the total duration of the remaining washing stage, they can trigger the same washing stage setting key 2 again to switch the content displayed on the display unit 1, which is simple to operate.

[0078] In another embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, after the display unit 1 starts displaying the remaining value of the parameter corresponding to any washing stage, if no operation signal from the user is received within the preset time, the display unit 1 is controlled to display the total time of the remaining washing stages.

[0079] In the above solution, the display unit 1 can automatically switch the display content after a preset time and restore the display of the remaining time of the washing program, which is more convenient.

[0080] The following is combined with Figures 2 to 6 The display control method of this embodiment will be described in detail.

[0081] After the user triggers the start / pause button 3 to start the washing program, the display unit 1 displays the remaining time of the currently running washing program in real time. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the current washing program is running, and display unit 1 shows that the remaining time of the washing program is 53 minutes.

[0082] like Figure 3 As shown, when the user triggers the "Soak" button, the washing machine receives the signal and displays the remaining soaking time as 5 minutes on display unit 1. After display unit 1 starts showing the remaining soaking time, it begins timing. Once the preset time is reached, display unit 1 returns to normal. Figure 2 The content shown is as follows.

[0083] Users can also continuously trigger the key 2 for setting multiple different washing stages, thereby controlling the display unit 1 to continuously display the remaining values ​​of the parameters corresponding to different washing stages.

[0084] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, after the user triggers the "Soak" button, display unit 1 displays the current remaining soaking time as 5 minutes.

[0085] At this time, as shown in Figure 4 , the user triggers the "wash" key, and the washing machine receives the signal that the "wash" key is triggered, and controls the display unit 1 to display that the current remaining washing time is 20 minutes.

[0086] After that, as shown in Figure 5 , the user triggers the "rinse" key, and the washing machine receives the signal that the "rinse" key is triggered, and controls the display unit 1 to display that the current remaining rinse times is 2 times.

[0087] Then, as shown in Figure 6 , the user triggers the "spin" key, and the washing machine receives the signal that the "spin" key is triggered, and further judges that the spin stage has not started running, and controls the display unit 1 to directly display that the set spin time is 9 minutes.

[0088] In the above process, the display unit 1 starts to display the remaining value of the parameter corresponding to any washing stage, and starts timing. If no operation signal of the user is received within the preset time, the display unit 1 is controlled to return to the display content as shown in Figure 2 .

[0089] In this embodiment, the washing equipment can display the remaining value of the parameter corresponding to different washing stages through the display unit 1 during the running process, so that the user can understand the running or setting situation of different washing stages after the washing program is started. By using the existing washing stage setting key 2 on the washing equipment as a trigger switch to control the display unit 1 to display the remaining value of the parameter, only the control logic of the washing equipment is changed, one-key multi-use is realized, and the manufacturing cost of the washing equipment is saved. The user selects the washing stage that he wants to understand by triggering the washing stage setting key 2, and then controls the display of the display unit 1, and the user experience is good.

[0090] Embodiment two

[0091] The washing equipment provided in this embodiment includes but is not limited to a washing machine, a washing and drying integrated machine. The washing machine is taken as an example to illustrate this embodiment.

[0092] As shown in Figures 7 to 11 , the washing machine includes a control panel, and the control panel is provided with a display unit 1 and a washing stage display key 4. The display control method of the washing machine includes: during the running process of the washing machine, if a signal that the washing stage display key 4 is triggered is received, the display unit 1 is controlled to display a plurality of washing stages in a washing program currently running and a plurality of remaining values of parameters corresponding to the plurality of washing stages in the order of the running sequence of the plurality of washing stages.

[0093] Specifically, in this embodiment, the plurality of washing stages include, in sequence according to the running order, soaking, washing, rinsing, and dehydration, and the remaining values of the corresponding parameters are remaining soaking time, remaining washing time, remaining rinsing times, and remaining dehydration time, respectively.

[0094] After the user starts the washing machine and completes the setting of the washing program, the user starts the washing program by triggering the start / pause key 3 on the control panel, and the washing machine starts running. As shown in FIG. 2, after the washing program is started, the display unit 1 displays the remaining time of the currently running washing program in real time. When the user triggers the washing stage display key 4, as shown in FIG. 3, the display unit 1 displays the plurality of washing stages and the remaining values of the corresponding parameters in sequence. Figure 7 Figures 8 to 11

[0095] In a further aspect of this embodiment, the display unit 1 displays each washing stage in sequence starting from the initial washing stage of the currently running washing program, that is, displays the soaking and the remaining soaking time, the washing and the remaining washing time, the rinsing and the remaining rinsing times, and the dehydration and the remaining dehydration time in sequence.

[0096] Preferably, the washing machine judges the running progress of each washing stage, and for the washing stage that has completed running, the display unit 1 displays a remaining value of 0 or displays a prompt message indicating that the washing stage has completed running.

[0097] Alternatively, the display unit 1 displays the washing stages that have not completed running and the remaining values of the corresponding parameters of the washing stages that have not completed running at a first brightness, and displays the washing stages that have completed running at a second brightness different from the first brightness.

[0098] In the above aspect, the display unit 1 displays all the washing stages in the current washing program in sequence according to the running order of the washing stages, and fully displays the running process of the entire washing program. The display unit 1 displays the washing stages that have completed running and the washing stages that have not completed running in different ways, which facilitates the user to more intuitively distinguish the running progress of the current washing program.

[0099] In another aspect of this embodiment, the display unit 1 displays the remaining washing stages in sequence starting from the washing stage that is currently running. The display of the washing stages and the remaining values of the corresponding parameters by the display unit 1 is mainly to help the user to understand the running progress of the washing stage that is currently running and the setting parameters of the subsequent washing stages, and the display of the washing stages that have completed running is not very helpful. The display unit 1 skips the washing stages that have completed running and does not display them, which can complete one round of display more quickly, while still meeting the needs of the user.

[0100] ​​Preferably, each laundry stage has a preset display duration T. After the washing device receives the signal that the laundry stage display key 4 is triggered, it compares the remaining duration t of the currently running laundry stage with the display duration T. If t < T, it controls the display unit 1 to skip the currently running laundry stage and sequentially display the remaining laundry stages starting from the next laundry stage.

[0101] In the above solution, when the remaining duration t of the currently running laundry stage is less than its display duration T, it controls the display unit 1 to skip this laundry stage, avoiding the situation where the display unit 1 still displays this laundry stage after it has completed running, causing user misunderstanding.

[0102] In a further solution of this embodiment, during the process of the display unit 1 displaying the remaining values of the laundry stage and corresponding parameters, if the washing device receives the signal that the laundry stage display key 4 is triggered again, it controls the display unit 1 to display the total duration of the remaining laundry stages.

[0103] In the above solution, the user controls the display unit 1 to sequentially display the remaining values of different laundry stages and corresponding parameters by triggering the laundry stage display key 4. When the user wants to know the total duration of the remaining laundry stages, they can trigger the laundry stage display key 4 again to achieve the switching of the display content of the display unit 1, and the operation is simple.

[0104] In another solution of this embodiment, after the display unit 1 completes N rounds of displaying the remaining values of multiple laundry stages and corresponding parameters, it controls the display unit 1 to display the total duration of the remaining laundry stages. Here, N is a set value.

[0105] In the above solution, N is preferably set to 1 to 3 times, or can also be adjusted by the user according to personal habits. The display unit 1 can automatically switch the display content after completing several rounds of display and resume displaying the remaining duration of the laundry program, which is more convenient.

[0106] As Figures 7 to 11 shown, in a preferred solution of this embodiment, there are also several laundry stage setting keys 2 with display functions provided on the control panel, specifically including a "soaking" key, a "washing" key, a "rinsing" key, and a "dehydrating" key, which correspond to the soaking stage, washing stage, rinsing stage, and dehydrating stage in the laundry program in sequence respectively

[0107] After the laundry stage display key 4 is triggered, only the remaining values of the parameters are displayed on the display unit 1. When the display unit 1 displays the remaining values of the parameters corresponding to any laundry stage, it controls the corresponding laundry stage setting key 2 to be highlighted.

[0108] Specifically, when the display unit 1 displays the remaining value of a parameter corresponding to a certain washing stage, the corresponding washing stage setting key 2 is controlled to display in the third brightness, and the other washing stage setting keys 2 are controlled to display in the fourth brightness. The third brightness is different from the fourth brightness. Preferably, the third brightness is higher than the fourth brightness. More preferably, only the corresponding washing stage setting key 2 is brightened to display, and the other washing stage setting keys 2 are not brightened.

[0109] In another solution, when the display unit 1 displays the remaining value of a parameter corresponding to a certain washing stage, the corresponding washing stage setting key 2 is controlled to display in flashing.

[0110] In the above solution, the display function is added to the existing washing stage setting key 2 on the washing machine, and the corresponding washing stage setting key 2 is controlled to highlight the display to inform the user of the currently displayed washing stage. Only the remaining value of the parameter is displayed on the display unit 1, and the display interface is more indirect, which is more conducive to the user to intuitively obtain information.

[0111] The display control method of the embodiment will be described below in combination with Figures 7 to 11 The display control method of the embodiment will be described below in combination with

[0112] After the user triggers the start / pause key 3 to start the washing program, the display unit 1 displays the remaining time of the currently running washing program in real time. As shown in Figure 7 , the current washing program is running, and the display unit 1 displays that the remaining time of the washing program is 53 minutes.

[0113] The user triggers the washing stage display key 4, and the washing machine receives the signal that the washing stage display key 4 is triggered, judges that the current washing stage of the washing machine is the soaking stage, and controls the display content of the display unit 1 to change as follows:

[0114] (1) As shown in Figure 8 , the “soaking” key flashes on the control panel, and at the same time, the display unit 1 is controlled to display that the current remaining soaking time is 5 minutes. After a preset display time t, such as 5 seconds, the “soaking” key stops flashing;

[0115] (2) As shown in Figure 9 , the “washing” key starts to flash, and at the same time, the display unit 1 is controlled to display that the current remaining washing time is 20 minutes. After a preset display time t, the “washing” key stops flashing;

[0116] (3) As shown in Figure 10 , the “rinsing” key starts to flash, and at the same time, the display unit 1 is controlled to display that the current remaining rinsing times is 2 times. After a preset display time t, the “rinsing” key stops flashing;

[0117] (4) As shown in Figure 11As shown, the "dehydration" link starts to flash, and the display unit 1 displays that the current remaining dehydration time is 9 minutes.

[0118] The above steps (1) to (4) are cycled until the user triggers the washing stage display key 4 again or N cycles are completed, the control all washing stage setting keys 2 stop flashing, and the display unit 1 displays the total time of the remaining washing stages.

[0119] In this embodiment, the washing equipment is provided with a washing stage display key 4, and the user controls the display unit 1 to automatically display the remaining values of the multiple washing stages and parameters in sequence by triggering the washing stage display key 4, which is simple and convenient to operate and good in user experience.

[0120] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and does not limit the present application in any form. Although the present application has been disclosed as above with the preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present application. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-mentioned technical content without departing from the technical solution of the present application, and any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present application still belong to the scope of the present application.
