BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0017] The specific embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

[0018] Figure 1 is a main step flow diagram of a running control method of a washing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] Some embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application.

[0020] The current washing apparatus can generally select a suitable washing program and add a suitable detergent according to the laundry to be washed before the washing starts. However, the user may need to add laundry in the middle due to omission or the like. After the laundry is added, the existing washing apparatus continues to execute the current washing program. However, the laundry added in the middle may not be suitable for the current washing program, or the laundry added in the middle cannot be cleaned completely by continuing to execute the current washing program. However, the existing washing apparatus cannot adjust the washing program according to the laundry added in the middle, resulting in that the laundry cannot be cleaned completely or even damaged, affecting the user experience.

[0021] In the embodiments of the present application, whether the door body is opened during the running of the washing apparatus can be determined. If the door body is opened, the laundry characteristics of the laundry in the laundry containing device are obtained. The washing program currently running in the washing apparatus is selectively adjusted according to the laundry characteristics, completely overcoming the defect that the existing washing apparatus cannot adjust the washing program according to the laundry added in the middle. The washing apparatus can select suitable washing parameters according to the laundry added in the middle so that the laundry added in the middle can be cleaned completely, while avoiding that the laundry added in the middle is damaged due to unsuitable washing parameters, improving the user experience.

[0022] In one application scenario of the present application, first, whether the door body is opened during the running of the washing machine is determined by obtaining an opening door instruction. If the door body is opened, the laundry characteristics of the laundry in the washing drum are obtained by the optical sensor and / or the weight sensor and / or the turbidity sensor arranged in the washing drum. Then, the washing program currently running in the washing machine is selectively adjusted according to the laundry characteristics, so that the washing machine can adjust the washing program according to the laundry characteristics again after the user adds laundry in the middle, and select suitable washing parameters.

[0023] Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a main step flow diagram of a running control method of a washing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1 , the running control method of the washing apparatus in the embodiments of the present application mainly includes the following steps:

[0024] Step S101: During the running of the washing apparatus, it is determined whether the door is opened.

[0025] In the present embodiment, the washing apparatus can include a laundry washing accommodating device, which can include a laundry feeding opening and the laundry feeding opening is provided with a door. The washing apparatus can be a drum washing machine, or a pulsator washing machine, or a washer-dryer, or other washing apparatuses, and the adjustment and change of such application objects do not deviate from the technical principles of the present application, and should be limited within the protection scope of the present application. The laundry washing accommodating device refers to a device capable of providing an accommodation space for laundry and washing water used for washing the laundry, so that the laundry can be turned over and other washing operations in the space, for example, the laundry washing accommodating device can be an inner drum (washing drum) of a drum washing machine or an inner tub (washing tub) of a pulsator washing machine, etc. The laundry feeding opening refers to a structure on the washing apparatus that can put the laundry into the laundry washing accommodating device, and the door refers to a structure on the washing apparatus that can close the laundry feeding opening to form a sealed space for the laundry washing accommodating device. The person skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific way of determining whether the door is opened, for example, it can be determined whether the door is opened by obtaining an open-door instruction, or it can be determined whether the door is opened by judging whether the door lock on the door is opened, of course, it can also be other judgment ways, as long as it can determine whether the door of the washing apparatus is opened. The adjustment and change of the specific way of determining whether the door is opened do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present application, and should be limited within the protection scope of the present application.

[0026] Step S102: If the door is opened, the laundry characteristics of the laundry in the laundry washing accommodating device are obtained.

[0027] In the present embodiment, if the door is not opened, the washing apparatus is controlled to continue running according to the current running washing program.

[0028] In one embodiment, the optical image information, the weight information and the turbidity information of the washing water of the laundry in the laundry washing accommodating device are detected by the optical sensor, the weight sensor and the turbidity sensor respectively, which are pre-set in the laundry washing accommodating device; the laundry characteristics are analyzed according to the optical image information, the weight information and the turbidity information of the washing water; wherein the laundry characteristics can include the color, and / or the material, and / or the dirtiness level, and / or the weight of the laundry. Of course, the information of the laundry in the laundry washing accommodating device can also be detected by the image recognition device, and the person skilled in the art can flexibly set the detection mode of the information of the laundry in the laundry washing accommodating device. The adjustment and change of the specific detection mode of the information of the laundry do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present application, and should be limited within the protection scope of the present application. The laundry characteristics can also be the number of the laundry, and can also be the size of the laundry, or other characteristic information, and the person skilled in the art can flexibly set the laundry characteristics. The adjustment and change of the laundry characteristics do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present application, and should be limited within the protection scope of the present application. In the present embodiment, if the door body is opened, the user has added laundry in the middle of the washing, and it is necessary to reacquire the laundry characteristics of the laundry in the laundry washing accommodating device, so as to match the appropriate washing program according to the new laundry characteristics.

[0029] Step S103: selectively adjusting the washing program currently running by the washing equipment according to the laundry characteristics.

[0030] In one embodiment, the step of "selectively adjusting the current running washing program of the washing device according to the characteristics of the laundry" can specifically include: matching a detergent dosage according to the characteristics of the laundry; obtaining an actual detergent usage of the current washing program; determining whether the detergent dosage is greater than the actual detergent usage; if yes, controlling the washing device to add detergent according to the detergent dosage and the actual detergent usage. In this embodiment, one skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific way of matching the detergent dosage according to the characteristics of the laundry, for example, the detergent dosage can be matched according to the weight of the laundry (1 kg of laundry matches 5 ml of detergent, 2 kg of laundry matches 10 ml of detergent, etc.), or the detergent dosage can be matched according to the dirt level of the laundry (light dirt matches 10 ml of detergent, heavy dirt matches 20 ml of detergent, etc.), or other matching ways. The adjustment and change of the specific way of matching the detergent dosage according to the characteristics of the laundry do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present application, and should be limited within the protection scope of the present application. In one possible embodiment, if the detergent dosage matched according to the characteristics of the laundry is 20 ml, and the actual detergent usage of the current washing program is 10 ml, the washing device is controlled to add 10 ml of detergent, so that the newly added laundry and the original laundry can be cleaned thoroughly by matching the detergent dosage according to the characteristics of the laundry, and controlling the washing device to add detergent according to the detergent dosage and the actual detergent usage.

[0031] In one embodiment, the step of "selectively adjusting the current running washing program of the washing device according to the characteristics of the laundry" can specifically include: matching a washing time according to the characteristics of the laundry; obtaining a remaining washing time of the current washing program; determining whether the washing time is greater than the remaining washing time; if yes, controlling the washing device to increase the washing duration according to the washing time and the remaining washing time. In this embodiment, one skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific way of matching the washing time according to the characteristics of the laundry, for example, the washing time can be matched according to the weight of the laundry (1 kg of laundry matches 15 min, 2 kg of laundry matches 20 min, etc.), or the washing time can be matched according to the dirt level of the laundry (light dirt matches 15 min, heavy dirt matches 30 min, etc.), or other matching ways. The adjustment and change of the specific way of matching the washing time according to the characteristics of the laundry do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present application, and should be limited within the protection scope of the present application. In one possible embodiment, if the washing time matched according to the characteristics of the laundry is 30 min, and the remaining washing time of the current washing program is 20 min, the washing device is controlled to increase the washing duration by 10 min, so that the newly added laundry and the original laundry can be cleaned thoroughly by matching the washing time according to the characteristics of the laundry, and controlling the washing device to increase the washing duration according to the washing time and the remaining washing time.

[0032] In one embodiment, the step of "selectively adjusting the current running washing program of the washing device according to the characteristics of the laundry" can specifically include: matching a washing temperature according to the characteristics of the laundry; obtaining an actual washing water temperature of the current washing program; determining whether the actual washing water temperature is consistent with the washing temperature; if not, controlling the washing device to adjust the actual washing water temperature to the washing temperature. In this embodiment, the specific manner of matching the washing temperature according to the characteristics of the laundry can be flexibly set by those skilled in the art, for example, the washing temperature can be matched according to the weight of the laundry (1 kg of laundry matches 30℃, 2 kg of laundry matches 35℃, etc.), or the washing temperature can be matched according to the dirt level of the laundry (light dirt matches 40℃, heavy dirt matches 50℃, etc.), or other matching manners. The adjustment and change of the specific manner of matching the washing temperature according to the characteristics of the laundry do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present application, and should be limited within the protection scope of the present application. In one possible embodiment, if the washing temperature matched according to the characteristics of the laundry is 50℃, and the actual washing water temperature of the current washing program is 40℃, the washing device is controlled to adjust the actual washing water temperature to 50℃, so that the laundry added by the user in the middle and the original laundry can be cleaned thoroughly by matching the washing temperature according to the characteristics of the laundry and adjusting the actual washing water temperature to the washing temperature.

[0033] In one embodiment, after it is determined that the door body is opened, the actual water level of the washing water in the washing device can also be obtained, and it is determined whether to adjust the washing water according to the actual water level of the washing water. Specifically, before step S103, Figure 1 The running control method shown can also include the following steps: obtaining an actual water level of the washing water in the washing device and a preset water level of the current washing program; determining whether the actual water level is less than the preset water level; if so, controlling the washing device to increase the washing water. In this embodiment, the preset water level can be flexibly set by those skilled in the art according to different washing devices, as long as the preset water level can allow the laundry to be fully washed. The specific adjustment and change of the preset water level do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present application, and should be limited within the protection scope of the present application. The material of the laundry added by the user in the middle can be relatively water-absorbing, so that the actual water level of the washing water in the washing device does not reach the preset water level after the laundry is added. Therefore, in order to avoid insufficient washing water from causing the laundry to be not cleaned thoroughly, it is necessary to determine whether the actual water level is less than the preset water level, and if the actual water level is less than the preset water level, the washing device is controlled to increase the washing water to the preset water level, so that the laundry can be fully washed.

[0034] In one embodiment, after it is determined that the door body is opened, the running stage of the washing device can also be obtained, and it is determined whether to re-run the washing program according to the running stage. Specifically, before step S103, Figure 1The shown operation control method can further include the following steps: judging whether the current operation stage is a rinsing stage; if it is a rinsing stage, re-operating the washing program; if it is not a rinsing stage, step S103, or obtaining the actual operation duration of the current operation stage, and judging whether to re-operate the washing program according to the actual operation duration and the clothing characteristics. In this embodiment, if the current operation stage is a rinsing stage, in order to clean the clothes added in the middle, the washing program needs to be re-operated, if the current operation stage is a washing stage, the washing program of the washing device can be adjusted according to the clothing characteristics, or whether to re-operate the washing program can be judged according to the actual operation duration and the clothing characteristics, so that the clothes can be cleaned.

[0035] Further, in this embodiment, the step of "judging whether to re-operate the washing program according to the actual operation duration and the clothing characteristics" can specifically include: obtaining the dirt level of the clothes in the clothing characteristics; judging whether the dirt level is greater than or equal to a preset level and whether the actual operation duration is greater than or equal to a preset duration; if so, re-operating the washing program; if not, executing step S103. In this embodiment, if the dirt level is greater than or equal to the preset level and the actual operation duration is greater than or equal to the preset duration, the clothes in the clothing washing and containing device are difficult to be cleaned by adjusting the washing program of the washing device, and the washing program needs to be re-operated, if the dirt level is less than the preset level or the actual operation duration is less than the preset duration, the clothes can be cleaned by adjusting the washing program of the washing device, and the washing program of the washing device can be selectively adjusted according to the clothing characteristics, so that the clothes can be cleaned.

[0036] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the dirt level of the clothes and the preset level can be flexibly set by those skilled in the art as needed. For example, the dirt level can be divided into two levels of heavy dirt and light dirt, and the preset level can be set to heavy dirt, or the dirt level can be divided into five levels of light, light, medium, heavy and heavy, and the preset level can be set to heavy, of course, other classification setting methods can also be used. The specific adjustment and change of the dirt level of the clothes and the preset level do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present application, and should be limited within the protection scope of the present application. Similarly, the preset duration can be flexibly set by those skilled in the art as needed. For example, the preset duration can be 1 / 3 of the washing duration, or 1 / 2 of the washing duration, or 2 / 3 of the washing duration, or other time. The specific adjustment and change of the preset duration do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present application, and should be limited within the protection scope of the present application.

[0037] In one embodiment, after the clothing features of the clothes in the clothes containing device are acquired, it can also be determined according to the clothing features whether the clothes in the current clothes containing device have a problem of being unsuitable for mixed washing, such as mixed washing easily leading to clothes staining or clothes damage, etc. Specifically, before step S103, Figure 1The operation control method shown can further include the following steps: judging whether the color types of all the clothes in the clothes washing containing device are the same and / or whether the material types of all the clothes are the same according to the colors and / or materials of the clothes in the clothes characteristics; matching a corresponding washing temperature for each color type and / or each material type when the color types and / or material types of the clothes in the clothes washing containing device are different; obtaining an actual washing water temperature of the current washing program; judging whether there is a washing temperature less than the actual washing water temperature according to the matching result; if yes, outputting a prompt information, and then judging whether a continue operation instruction is received; if no, performing step S103; wherein the prompt information can include sound information, and / or image information, and / or light information. In this embodiment, if the color types of the clothes in the clothes washing containing device are different, there can be a risk of dyeing, and each color type can be matched with a corresponding washing temperature (i.e., each color type of clothes has a corresponding washing temperature, and the clothes of the color type exceeding the corresponding washing temperature will be discolored, and a person skilled in the art can set the matching relationship between the color type and the washing temperature through experiments or experience), and when the washing water temperature exceeds the corresponding washing temperature, the risk of dyeing will be increased, so the actual washing water temperature of the current washing program also needs to be obtained, if the matched washing temperature is less than the actual washing water temperature, it means that the clothes have a high risk of dyeing at the actual washing water temperature, and the user needs to be prompted, if the matched washing temperature is not less than the actual washing water temperature, it means that the clothes have no risk of dyeing at the actual washing water temperature, and the washing can continue. In addition, each material type of the clothes can also be matched with a corresponding washing temperature (for example, the washing temperature of clothes made of wool, silk and other materials is low, and the washing temperature of clothes made of chemical fiber, polyester and other materials is high, and a person skilled in the art can set the matching relationship between the material type and the washing temperature through experiments or experience), and when the washing water temperature exceeds the corresponding washing temperature, the clothes can be damaged, therefore, if the material types of the clothes in the clothes washing containing device are different, a corresponding washing temperature also needs to be matched for each material type, the actual washing water temperature of the current washing program is obtained, if the matched washing temperature is less than the actual washing water temperature, it means that the clothes can be damaged at the actual washing water temperature, and the user needs to be prompted, if the matched washing temperature is not less than the actual washing water temperature, it means that the clothes will not be damaged at the actual washing water temperature, and the washing can continue. Through such a setting, it can be judged whether the clothes added in the middle and the original clothes are suitable for being placed together for washing and the user is prompted, so as to avoid the clothes from being dyed or damaged, and the user experience is improved.

[0038] In the embodiment, the color type and the material type of the clothes can be flexibly set by those skilled in the art as needed, for example, the color type of the clothes can be a color system, that is, whether the color of the clothes belongs to a dark color system or a light color system (for example, white, light yellow, light blue and the like belong to the light color system, black, brown, bright red and the like belong to the dark color system, if all the clothes in the clothes washing containing device are of the light color system, the color types of the clothes are the same, otherwise, the color types of the clothes are different); the material type of the clothes can be wool, chemical fiber, polyester, cotton, hemp and the like. The specific adjustment and change of the color type and the material type of the clothes do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present application, and should be limited within the protection scope of the present application.

[0039] Further, in the embodiment, the step of outputting the reminding information can specifically include directly controlling the washing equipment to output the reminding information, and / or sending the reminding information to a terminal device previously associated with the washing equipment for output, and the terminal device can be a mobile phone, a computer or the like of the user.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, by judging whether the door body of the washing equipment is opened during the operation of the washing equipment, if the door body is opened, the clothes features of the clothes in the clothes washing containing device are acquired, and the washing program currently running of the washing equipment is selectively adjusted according to the clothes features. Through such a setting, the washing equipment can adjust the washing program according to the clothes features after the clothes are added by the user in the middle of the way, and select appropriate washing parameters, so that the clothes added in the middle of the way can be cleaned, and the clothes added in the middle of the way are prevented from being damaged due to inappropriate washing parameters, and the user experience is improved.

[0041] It should be noted that, although the steps in the above embodiments are described in a specific order, those skilled in the art can understand that, in order to achieve the effect of the present application, the steps are not necessarily executed in such an order, and can be executed simultaneously (in parallel) or in other orders, and these changes are within the protection scope of the present application.
