Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of household appliance technology, and more specifically, to a control system for a household appliance. Background Technology

[0002] With social development and rising living standards, washer-dryer sets have become a standard feature in every household. Each household equips itself with a garment handling device and a drying device, which are connected via the Internet of Things. The drying device and the garment handling device communicate through a washing and drying linkage program, allowing the drying device to obtain the washing information of the garments from the garment handling device.

[0003] However, the following defects are common in existing technologies:

[0004] 1. The drying equipment and the clothing processing equipment operate independently and do not interfere with each other. Due to technical limitations, the drying equipment cannot determine whether it shares the same external network with the clothing processing equipment, resulting in inaccurate information about the clothing within the clothing processing equipment.

[0005] 2. The inaccurate drying time of the drying equipment when it executes the drying program on clothes that have been spun in the clothing processing equipment has caused user complaints.

[0006] 3. The drying equipment and the garment handling equipment execute a washing and drying linkage program, but the drying equipment does not display the drying time, making it unclear to the user how long the drying process lasts.

[0007] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a control system for household appliances. This system solves the problem that the drying equipment and the clothing handling equipment work independently, and the drying equipment cannot determine whether it shares the same network with the clothing handling equipment, which leads to the inability to accurately obtain the washing information of the clothes in the clothing handling equipment.

[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0010] A control system for a household appliance is communicatively connected to a drying device and a clothing handling device. The control system detects whether the clothing handling device and the drying device use the same external network. If so, the control system controls the drying device to obtain the washing information of the clothes from the clothing handling device. The drying device calculates the drying parameters based on the washing information of the clothes and sends the drying parameters to the user. If not, the drying device and the clothing handling device operate independently.

[0011] Furthermore, after the drying equipment and the clothing processing equipment are connected to the control system, they will obtain the MAC address of the external network. The control system determines whether the MAC addresses obtained by the drying equipment and the clothing processing equipment are the same. If they are, it determines that the clothing processing equipment and the drying equipment use the same external network.

[0012] Furthermore, the garment processing equipment and the drying equipment correspond to different user terminals. The user terminal obtains the username and corresponding password of the external network and logs into the control system based on the username and password. The control system determines whether the user terminals of the drying equipment and the garment processing equipment use the same username and password of the external network. If so, it determines that the garment processing equipment and the drying equipment use the same external network.

[0013] Furthermore, after the control system detects that the clothing processing equipment and the drying equipment use the same external network, the clothing processing equipment weighs the dehydrated wet clothes to obtain a first wet weight, which is then stored in the control system. The drying equipment obtains the first wet weight through the control system and further calculates the load wet weight. Before drying the wet clothes, the drying equipment weighs the wet clothes again to obtain a second wet weight. The ratio of the load wet weight to the second wet weight is used to determine whether the clothes to be dried by the drying equipment are the same clothes in the clothing processing equipment.

[0014] Preferably, the wet load is 1 / 5 of the first wet load.

[0015] Furthermore, the external network includes hotspots emitted by wireless routers or mobile terminals.

[0016] Furthermore, if the second wet weight is not less than the load wet weight and not greater than the first wet weight, the drying equipment calculates the required drying parameters based on the dry weight of the clothes weighed by the clothing processing equipment and the second wet weight.

[0017] Furthermore, the drying parameters include the moisture content of the clothes and / or the drying time. During the drying process, the drying equipment weighs the wet clothes in real time. As the second wet weight changes in real time, the moisture content of the clothes and / or the drying time are updated synchronously in real time, and the current moisture content of the clothes and / or the remaining drying time are calculated in real time and sent to the user.

[0018] Furthermore, the garment processing equipment weighs the dry clothes before washing, and the moisture content satisfies the ratio of the change in dry weight and second wet weight of the garment to the dry weight of the garment; the drying time is obtained by the following formula:

[0019] T = (Second wet weight - Dry weight of clothes) * 1000 / Preset drying efficiency.

[0020] Furthermore, the drying equipment can identify the material of wet and heavy clothing and determine the current preset drying efficiency based on the material of different clothing.

[0021] Furthermore, the control system is a smart terminal, which is wirelessly connected to both the clothing processing equipment and the drying equipment.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0023] 1. By detecting that the drying equipment and the clothing handling equipment use the same external network through the control system, it is ensured that the drying equipment and the clothing handling equipment are in the same network environment. This makes the drying parameters calculated by the drying equipment based on the washing information of the clothes more accurate. At the same time, the drying parameters are sent to the user so that the user can understand the current drying information and improve the user experience.

[0024] 2. The drying equipment displays the moisture content and drying time of the clothes in real time, allowing users to understand the drying status of the clothes in the drying equipment and improving the user experience.

[0025] 3. The moisture content and drying time will change in real time as the drying process progresses, allowing users to more intuitively understand the current moisture content and remaining drying time of the underwear in the drying equipment.

[0026] 4. Before executing the drying program, the drying equipment weighs the wet clothes and calculates the load wet weight. This allows the drying equipment to accurately determine whether the clothes to be dried have been washed by the clothing processing equipment, thus preventing users from drying clothes that have not been washed by the laundry equipment, which could lead to drying errors.

[0027] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0033] 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.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, a control system for a household appliance is introduced. The household appliance includes at least an independently operable clothes handling device and a drying device. The control system is communicatively connected to both the drying device and the clothes handling device. The control system detects whether the clothes handling device and the drying device use the same external network. If so, the control system controls the drying device to acquire the washing information of the clothes in the clothes handling device. The drying device calculates drying parameters based on the washing information and sends the drying parameters to the user. If not, the drying device and the clothes handling device operate independently. Through the above, the control system determines whether the drying device and the clothes handling device are in the same external network environment. If so, the drying device can accurately acquire the washing information of the clothes in the clothes handling device, and the calculated drying parameters are more accurate.

[0036] In existing technologies, some drying devices display the remaining drying time, but their calculations are inaccurate, causing the drying time to frequently jump, leading to numerous user complaints; other drying devices do not display the drying time, leaving users unable to know when drying is finished, and they can only confirm the end of drying through the notification sound; still other drying devices connect directly to the garment processing device wirelessly to obtain information about the clothes inside the garment processing device.

[0037] To avoid the aforementioned issues, this invention first establishes a control system that allows the washing information of the clothes in the garment processing equipment to be saved to the control system. The drying equipment then obtains the washing information of the clothes in the garment processing equipment through the control system and calculates the drying parameters. These drying parameters are calculated in real time based on the current washing information, making them more accurate and preventing jumps in drying time. Simultaneously, the drying equipment sends the drying parameters to the user, allowing them to understand the current drying status in real time and improving the user experience. By establishing a control system, the drying equipment and garment processing equipment achieve synchronized washing and drying, sharing data. Furthermore, the control system can control both the garment processing and drying equipment in real time, facilitating user operation.

[0038] It should be noted that the clothing processing equipment used in this invention is preferably a washing machine, and the drying equipment is preferably a dryer. The two can be a washer-dryer combo that is stacked on top of each other, or they can be a washing machine and a dryer that are placed independently in different locations in the home.

[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, after the drying device and the clothing handling device are respectively connected to the control system, they will each obtain the MAC address of the external network. The control system determines whether the MAC addresses obtained by the drying device and the clothing handling device are the same. If they are, it is determined that the clothing handling device and the drying device use the same external network. For example, a household wireless router has a fixed MAC address. Both the drying device and the clothing handling device are equipped with Wi-Fi modules. When the control system is connected to the drying device and the clothing handling device respectively, it will receive the MAC address of the household router. At this time, the control system will determine whether the received MAC addresses are the same. If they are, it is determined that the clothing handling device and the drying device are in the same external network environment, and the drying device can obtain clothing washing information through the control system.

[0040] This embodiment also includes another determination method: the clothing processing device and the drying device correspond to different user terminals. The user terminal obtains the username and corresponding password of the external network and logs into the control system based on the username and password. The control system determines whether the user terminals of the drying device and the clothing processing device use the same external network username and password. If so, it is determined that the clothing processing device and the drying device use the same external network. The user terminal is a mobile app. For example, the clothing processing device and the drying device correspond to different mobile apps, which are installed in the control system. When logging into the corresponding app, a prompt message can be generated to allow the user to choose whether to connect to the current external network. When the user chooses to connect, the corresponding app can obtain the external network username and password. The control system then determines whether the corresponding app uses the same external network username and password. If so, it is determined that the clothing processing device and the drying device are in the same external network environment.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the drying parameters include the moisture content of the clothing and / or the drying time. During the drying process, the moisture content and / or drying time of the clothing change in real time, and the drying equipment sends the changing moisture content and / or drying time to the user. Through the above settings, the moisture content and / or drying time of the clothing under the drying equipment will change constantly during the drying process, allowing the user to see the current moisture content and / or drying time of the clothing at all times, improving the user experience. Preferably, in this embodiment, the drying equipment displays the moisture content and drying time of the clothing simultaneously through a control screen.

[0042] In this embodiment of the invention, the control system is wirelessly connected to the garment processing device and the drying device, respectively. The garment processing device wirelessly transmits the washing information of the garments to the control system, and the drying device wirelessly receives the washing information of the garments. Through wireless connection, users can control the garment processing device and the drying device even when they are far away from the garment processing device and the drying device, realizing washing and drying linkage.

[0043] After the control system detects that the garment handling equipment and the drying equipment are using the same external network, the garment handling equipment weighs the dehydrated wet garments to obtain a first wet weight. Before washing, the garment handling equipment detects the initial weight of the dry clothes inside. The drying equipment obtains the dry weight and the first wet weight, and calculates the required drying time and moisture content of the garments by measuring the wet weight of the clothes in real time. Because the dry weight and wet weight of the garments can completely reflect their overall dryness, and the drying parameter only has one variable value—the wet weight of the garments—the detection accuracy is high, the degree of automation is high, and the user experience is good.

[0044] In this embodiment of the invention, the garment processing equipment weighs the dry clothes before the washing cycle; after the spin-drying process, it weighs the wet clothes to obtain a first wet weight. The dry weight and the first wet weight data are saved to the control system. The drying equipment obtains the dry weight and wet weight values ​​of the clothes from the control system and further calculates the moisture content of the clothes and / or the required drying time. Saving the dry weight and wet weight data of the clothes to the control system allows the drying equipment to obtain the washing information of the clothes in the garment processing equipment at any time, increasing convenience. At the same time, it also makes it convenient for users to review the washing information of the clothes later.

[0045] In this embodiment of the invention, the drying equipment obtains the wet weight of the clothes after spin-drying in the clothing processing equipment, i.e., the first wet weight, and further calculates the load wet weight; preferably, the load wet weight is 1 / 5 of the first wet weight. Before drying the wet-weight clothes, the drying equipment weighs the wet-weight clothes again to obtain the second wet weight. The ratio of the load wet weight to the second wet weight is used to determine whether the clothes to be dried by the drying equipment are the same clothes in the clothing processing equipment, avoiding drying errors. If the second wet weight is not less than the load wet weight and not greater than the first wet weight, it means that the clothes to be dried by the drying equipment are the clothes that have just been washed in the clothing processing equipment. Then the drying equipment calculates the required drying parameters based on the dry weight of the clothes weighed in the clothing processing equipment and the second wet weight. If the second wet weight is less than the load wet weight or greater than the first wet weight, it means that the clothes to be dried by the drying equipment are not the clothes that were just to be dried in the clothing processing equipment. The drying equipment and the clothing processing equipment operate independently according to their default programs.

[0046] Before performing the drying process on the clothes in the clothes processing equipment, the drying equipment weighs the wet clothes. The weight of the wet clothes may differ from the weight of the wet clothes after being spun dry in the clothes processing equipment. The purpose of calculating the load wet weight is to control the difference within the allowable range, that is, to meet the range of variation, indicating that the clothes to be dried in the drying equipment are the clothes that were washed in the clothes processing equipment before.

[0047] Another purpose of setting the wet weight of the load is to prevent users from placing clothes that were not in the garment processing equipment into the dryer after washing, instead placing clothes washed in other ways into the dryer. If clothes washed in other ways are placed into the dryer, the dryer will weigh the clothes. If the weight is less than the load weight or greater than the first wet weight obtained, the dryer will determine that the clothes were not washed in the garment processing equipment and will re-execute the drying program.

[0048] There are other special cases. For example, after the drying equipment obtains the second wet weight, the user forgets to put the clothes in the drying equipment and only puts them in a long time later. The actual wet weight of the clothes is not the second wet weight obtained, which will cause the drying equipment to dry inaccurately. Therefore, a load wet weight is set. When the drying equipment weighs the clothes, it finds that the weight is much smaller than the previously calculated load wet weight. This can prevent the drying equipment from drying according to the washing information of the clothes in the previous clothes processing equipment, which would cause the drying time to be too long.

[0049] The moisture content is the ratio of the change in dry weight to wet weight of the garment to the dry weight.

[0050] The drying time is obtained using the following formula:

[0051] T = (Second wet weight - Dry weight of clothes) * 1000 / Preset drying efficiency. The moisture content follows the formula: Second wet weight - Dry weight of clothes / Dry weight of clothes. As can be seen from the above settings, both the moisture content and drying time include the change in the second wet weight, thus the calculation results are more accurate. Furthermore, since the wet weight of the clothes gradually decreases during the drying process, the results of the moisture content and drying time in this embodiment will not jump, such as increasing and decreasing intermittently. In addition, the moisture content and drying time are in a one-to-one correspondence, allowing users to more intuitively understand the drying status of the clothes in the current drying equipment.

[0052] The preset drying efficiency is the factory default value, generally set to D = 10 (g / min), and for synthetic fibers and ultra-soft materials, the drying efficiency is D = 13 (g / min). The drying equipment will determine the material of the wet clothes based on the identification module, and then determine the drying efficiency. If the clothes are made of synthetic fibers or ultra-soft materials, the drying efficiency will be set to 13 g / min, and the drying time will be T = 77 * (W2 - W1). If the drying equipment obtains information about the clothes that are not synthetic fibers or ultra-soft materials, the drying efficiency will be set to D = 10 g / min by default, and the drying time will be T = 100 * (W2 - W1).

[0053] By preset drying efficiency, the drying equipment can use different drying efficiencies for different clothing materials, making the drying time results more accurate.

[0054] In this embodiment, the drying equipment is equipped with an identification module, which can identify the material of wet and heavy clothing. The drying equipment determines different drying efficiencies based on the identified clothing material. The identification module can be a camera, which can capture images of wet and heavy clothing, analyze the captured image information, and determine the material of the clothing.

[0055] Meanwhile, the formula also shows that the moisture content and drying time change with the wet weight of the clothes, and the countdown does not start after a single calculation. Therefore, the calculation results are more accurate, and the moisture content and remaining drying time of the clothes in the drying equipment are displayed in real time.

[0056] The drying equipment weighs the wet clothes in real time during the drying process, records the real-time changes in the second wet weight, and calculates the current moisture content and / or remaining drying time of the clothes. Through this setup, the drying equipment dries the clothes during the drying process, reducing their wet weight. The real-time weighing of the wet clothes allows for real-time monitoring of the current weight, moisture content, and remaining drying time, all displayed to the user on the control screen. This provides a clear overview of the drying status and enhances the user experience.

[0057] In this embodiment of the invention, the drying device, the clothing handling device, and the control system can be connected wirelessly. Simultaneously, the clothing handling device transmits washing information to the control system, and the drying device receives the washing information of the clothing from the control system. In other embodiments, the clothing handling device can also be directly connected to the drying device via Wi-Fi, allowing clothing handling and drying devices placed independently and at a certain distance to share washing information. For example, if the clothing handling device is in the bathroom and the drying device is on the balcony, a wireless connection can be used to share the washing information of the clothing handling device with the drying device, improving the user experience. Wireless connectivity enables clothing handling and drying devices placed independently in a home to share washing information, enhancing the smart home experience.

[0058] In this embodiment of the invention, the drying device displays the current moisture content and remaining drying time of the clothing to the user in real time via a control screen. The drying device sends drying parameters to the user through the control screen, including the current moisture content and remaining drying time of the clothing. This allows the user to clearly understand the drying status of the clothing on the current drying device, and the real-time display of these parameters on the control screen provides real-time information for the user.

[0059] In this embodiment of the invention, the external network includes hotspots emitted by wireless routers or mobile terminals.

[0060] The control system is a smart terminal that wirelessly connects to both the clothing handling equipment and the drying equipment. The smart terminal can be a mobile phone, tablet, etc., and the corresponding user apps for the clothing handling and drying equipment can be downloaded to the mobile phone. The mobile phone detects whether the corresponding app is in the same Wi-Fi environment or the same mobile hotspot. If the same environment is detected, the drying equipment obtains the washing information of the clothes, resulting in more accurate data.

[0061] Example 2

[0062] In this embodiment of the invention, the control system can save the washing information of the clothes in the garment processing equipment. When the drying equipment executes the drying program, it saves the washing information of the clothes in the garment processing equipment to the control system. This allows the control system to calculate the required drying time for the drying equipment in advance and send the drying parameters to the drying equipment. The drying equipment then sends the parameters to the user. By calculating the drying parameters in advance through the control system, the user can make a decision on whether to execute the drying program after the clothes in the garment processing equipment has finished washing, thereby improving the user experience.

[0063] Example 3

[0064] In this embodiment, the difference from Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 is that if the control system detects that the drying equipment and the clothing processing equipment are not in the same external network environment, it will generate a prompt message, allowing the user to choose whether to control the drying equipment to obtain the washing information of the clothes in the clothing processing equipment. Through the above settings, it can be more user-friendly and improve the user experience.

[0065] When the control system does not detect that the drying equipment and the clothing processing equipment are not in the same external environment, for example, the corresponding apps obtain different router MAC addresses, it will prompt the user that the two devices are not in the same external network environment and ask if the user needs to control the drying equipment to obtain clothing information in the clothing processing equipment. If the user chooses to control, the normal process will be executed; if the user does not choose to control, the drying equipment and the clothing processing equipment will execute different programs.

[0066] In this embodiment, by controlling whether the drying equipment and the clothing processing equipment are on the same external network, the system controls whether the drying equipment obtains the washing information of the clothes from the clothing processing equipment. When it is determined that they are not on the same external network, the system will prompt the user, making the connection between the drying equipment and the clothing processing equipment more user-friendly and improving the user experience.

[0067] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. The implementation schemes in the above embodiments can be further combined or replaced. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
