Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of laundry equipment control technology, specifically relating to a laundry treatment method and clothing treatment equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Washing machines are an essential household appliance. With the development of technology, the washing process of washing machines has become increasingly intelligent. From the old twin-tub washing machines that had separate washing and spin-drying operations, to today's fully automatic washing machines, washing, rinsing, spin-drying, and drying are all completed automatically.

[0003] Currently, the washing modes and times of fully automatic washing machines are fixed. For example, the standard washing mode is fixed at 42 minutes, with 15 minutes for the washing program, 20 minutes for the rinsing program (two rinsing cycles), and the last 8 minutes for the spin-drying program. Another example is the quick wash mode, which is fixed at 24 minutes, with the first 8 minutes for the washing program, the middle 8 minutes for the rinsing program, and the last 8 minutes for the spin-drying program.

[0004] However, the washing parameters preset in the existing washing program (such as the washing time of each stage) are fixed. Regardless of what kind of clothes are being washed, the washing parameters are fixed. It is easy to not clean difficult clothes, and easy clothes are easy to over-wash, resulting in waste of resources. Summary of the Invention

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” “fourth,” etc. (if present) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having,” and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0041] In related technologies, the various washing modes and times of fully automatic washing machines are fixed. For example, the standard washing mode is fixed at 42 minutes, with 15 minutes for the washing program, 20 minutes for the rinsing program (two rinsing cycles), and the last 8 minutes for the spin-drying program. Another example is the quick wash mode, which is fixed at 24 minutes, with the first 8 minutes for the washing program, the middle 8 minutes for the rinsing program, and the last 8 minutes for the spin-drying program. However, the washing parameters preset in existing methods (such as the washing time for each stage) are fixed, regardless of the type of clothing being washed. This can easily lead to incomplete cleaning of difficult-to-wash clothes and over-washing of easy-to-wash clothes, resulting in wasted resources. For instance, for heavily soiled clothes, a fixed washing time (e.g., 42 minutes) may not be sufficient to clean them properly; while for lightly soiled clothes, a fixed washing time (e.g., 42 minutes) may be too long, causing resource waste.

[0042] To address this deficiency, the main technical concept of this invention lies in detecting the water quality information of the washing water at the end of each operating stage of the washing machine (such as the washing stage and the rinsing stage). Then, it obtains adjustment instructions corresponding to the water quality information. The washing machine adjusts the washing process of the current or next operating stage according to these instructions, for example, increasing or decreasing the washing time of the washing stage, or increasing or decreasing the number of rinses in the rinsing stage. This allows the washing machine to ensure that clothes are washed as cleanly as possible while also conserving resources.

[0043] The preferred technical solutions of the laundry treatment method and clothing treatment equipment of the present invention are described below with reference to the above-mentioned accompanying drawings.

[0044] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a laundry treatment method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the method provided in this embodiment may include the following steps.

[0046] S101, when the current operation stage is detected to enter the dehydration operation, the water quality information of the washing water extracted under the dehydration operation is detected.

[0047] Specifically, during the operation of the garment processing equipment, the controller within the equipment monitors in real time whether the current operating stage has ended and the spin-drying stage has begun. For example, the standard washing process of a washing machine generally includes a washing stage, a rinsing stage, a spin-drying stage, and a drying stage. After each operating stage ends, a spin-drying operation is performed first, and then water is refilled to begin the next operating stage.

[0048] In one possible embodiment, when the current operating phase is detected to have entered the dehydration operation, the dehydrated water is detected to obtain water quality information. This water quality information can reflect the degree of dirtiness of the dehydrated water, and thus the degree of dirtiness of the clothes being washed can be determined.

[0049] In one possible embodiment, the water quality information of the extracted washing water can be comprehensively measured by indicators such as turbidity, transparency, and conductivity. For example, the turbidity, transparency, and conductivity of the washing water can be detected by water quality testing equipment installed in the washing machine.

[0050] S102, when an adjustment instruction corresponding to the water quality information of the washing water is obtained, the washing process of the current operating stage or the next operating stage of the current operating stage is adjusted according to the adjustment instruction; or after the current operating stage ends, a new operating stage is added to perform the corresponding washing process.

[0051] Furthermore, obtaining the adjustment instruction corresponding to the water quality information of the washing water includes: obtaining the purified water value of the washing water based on the water quality information of the washing water; and generating the adjustment instruction when it is determined that the purified water value does not meet the purified water threshold corresponding to the current operating stage.

[0052] In one possible embodiment, a water quality monitoring device installed in the washing machine detects the water quality information of the spun laundry water, obtaining multiple index values ​​such as turbidity, transparency, and conductivity. These index values ​​are then weighted and summed to obtain the purified water value of the spun laundry water. The water quality monitoring device then sends the purified water value to the washing machine's controller. The controller compares this purified water value with the purified water threshold corresponding to the current operating stage. If the value is greater than the threshold, it indicates that the laundry water is severely polluted and the washed clothes are highly soiled. In this case, adjustments need to be made to the washing process in the current operating stage or the next operating stage. Alternatively, after the current operating stage ends, a new operating stage can be added to perform the corresponding washing process, such as increasing the duration of the current operating stage, adjusting the washing machine motor speed in the current operating stage, or reducing the duration of the next operating stage, among other adjustments.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the current operating stage enters the spin-drying operation, the water quality information of the laundry water extracted during the spin-drying operation is detected. Upon receiving an adjustment command corresponding to the water quality information, the washing process of the current operating stage or the next operating stage is adjusted according to the adjustment command. Alternatively, after the current operating stage ends, a new operating stage is added for corresponding washing processes. This allows the washing equipment to adjust the washing process of the corresponding operating stage according to the adjustment command during operation. This process can adjust the actual washing process of the washing machine based on the actual washing situation during operation, meeting the washing requirements of various types of clothing while avoiding resource waste.

[0054] In some embodiments, when the current operating stage is the washing operating stage, generating the adjustment instruction when it is determined that the purified water value does not meet the purified water threshold corresponding to the current operating stage includes: when it is determined that the purified water value does not meet the purified water threshold corresponding to the current operating stage, obtaining the material information of the current laundry, and generating the adjustment instruction based on the material information of the current laundry, or the material information of the current laundry and the number of rinsing cycles in the next rinsing operating stage of the current operating stage.

[0055] The adjustment instruction includes: after the current operation phase ends, adding a new washing operation phase, and setting washing parameters corresponding to the material information of the current garment in the new washing operation phase; the washing parameters include one or more of the following: temperature parameters, washing time parameters; or, the adjustment instruction includes: increasing the number of rinsing cycles in the rinsing operation phase.

[0056] In some embodiments, the net water value can be the total dissolved solids (TDS) value, which refers to the concentration of total dissolved substances in water, measured in milligrams per liter (mg / L). A higher net water value indicates a higher content of impurities in the water, and vice versa.

[0057] In one possible scenario, the water purification threshold corresponding to the washing operation phase can be determined as the first water purification threshold. The range of the first water purification threshold can be determined based on a large number of test results. For example, the range of the first water purification threshold can be between 300 and 400. Preferably, the first water purification threshold can be set to 350.

[0058] Specifically, during the spin-drying operation in the washing cycle, the purified water value of the extracted water is detected and compared with a first purified water threshold. If the purified water value is greater than the first preset purified water threshold, it indicates that there are more impurities in the washing water, suggesting a higher degree of clothing contamination, thus requiring an additional washing cycle. Furthermore, the controller obtains information about the material of the clothes being washed. For example, the controller uses a camera to capture images of the clothes inside the washing drum, analyzes these images to obtain the material information, and then adjusts relevant parameters such as washing time or water temperature in the new washing cycle based on this information. For instance, if the normal washing cycle time is 12 minutes, and the clothes are determined to be made of silk, the controller will reduce the washing time by a few minutes (e.g., by 5 minutes).

[0059] Furthermore, since the purified water value is greater than the first purified water threshold, the number of rinses in the next rinsing cycle will be increased by a preset number of times. For example, if the normal rinsing cycle consists of three rinses, then one more rinse will be added, so when the washing machine enters the rinsing cycle, it will perform four rinses.

[0060] Conversely, if the detected water purity value is less than or equal to the first water purity threshold, it indicates that there are fewer impurities in the water, which in turn indicates the degree of soiling of the washed clothes. In this case, it is not necessary to add a new washing cycle, and the number of rinses in the next rinsing cycle should be reduced. For example, the original three rinsing operations can be reduced to two rinsing operations.

[0061] In this embodiment, during the washing operation of the washing machine, the relevant parameters of the current washing stage or the next rinsing stage are adjusted according to the water purity value of the washing water after washing and the material information of the clothes. This not only ensures that the clothes are washed clean, but also saves resources as much as possible. At the same time, the washing time and temperature during the washing process are adjusted in combination with the material information of the clothes to ensure that the clothes are not damaged in multiple washing processes.

[0062] In some embodiments, when the current operating stage is the rinsing stage, generating the adjustment instruction when it is determined that the purified water value does not meet the purified water threshold corresponding to the current operating stage includes: when it is determined that the purified water value does not meet the purified water threshold corresponding to the Nth rinsing process under the current operating stage, generating the adjustment instruction based on the remaining rinsing processes under the current operating stage, the obtained material information of the current laundry, and / or the dehydration parameters of the next dehydration stage of the rinsing stage.

[0063] The adjustment instructions include: increasing the number of rinsing cycles in the rinsing operation phase and / or adjusting the rinsing parameters of the remaining rinsing cycles; or, the adjustment instructions include: adjusting the dehydration parameters of the dehydration operation phase.

[0064] In one possible scenario, the rinsing operation phase may include N rinsing processes, each corresponding to a clean water threshold. The clean water threshold for each rinsing process can be determined based on actual data and experience. For example, the clean water threshold corresponding to the rinsing operation phase can be defined as the second clean water threshold, and the value of the second clean water threshold can be between 250 and 300. Preferably, the second clean water threshold can be set to 270.

[0065] Specifically, during the spin-drying operation in the rinsing phase, the net water value of the spun water is detected and compared with the second preset net water threshold. If the net water value is greater than the second preset net water threshold, it indicates that there are many impurities in the washing water after the first rinse, which means that the clothes cannot be cleaned after one rinse. The washing machine then continues with the second rinse cycle... until the washing machine finishes the Nth rinse cycle. After that, the detected net water value is compared with the net water threshold corresponding to the Nth rinse cycle (e.g., the net water threshold is 150). If the net water value is still greater than 150, it means that the clothes are still not cleaned after the washing machine has performed the normal N rinse cycles. A preset number of new rinse cycles (e.g., add 1) are then added until the net water value of the washing water after rinsing is lower than the corresponding net water threshold, and then the current rinsing operation phase ends.

[0066] Furthermore, the system obtains the material information of the clothes being washed and then adjusts the rinsing parameters in the remaining rinsing cycle based on this information. For example, if the normal rinsing cycle lasts 5 minutes, and the clothes are determined to be made of silk, the controller will reduce the rinsing time of each cycle in the remaining rinsing cycle by a few minutes (e.g., 2 minutes). This ensures that the clothes are not damaged during multiple rinsing processes.

[0067] In one possible scenario, if the purified water value during the rinsing stage is greater than the corresponding purified water threshold, after obtaining the fabric information, the washing machine can also generate adjustment instructions for the spin-drying parameters based on this information. When the washing machine enters the next spin-drying stage, these instructions are used to adjust the spin-drying parameters. These parameters can include spin speed and the number of spin cycles. For example, if the fabric is silk, the adjustment instruction will reduce the spin speed and the number of spin cycles when the washing machine enters the spin-drying stage. The specific reduction amount and the number of reductions can be preset by relevant personnel.

[0068] Conversely, if the water purity value of the washing water is less than or equal to the water purity threshold corresponding to that rinsing process after a certain rinsing cycle in the rinsing operation phase, it means that the clothes are rinsed clean. In this case, regardless of whether there are any remaining rinsing cycles, the current rinsing operation phase ends directly and the next operation phase begins.

[0069] In this embodiment, during the rinsing operation of the washing machine, the number of rinses and the duration of the rinsing process are adjusted based on the water purity value and the material of the clothes after each rinse. This ensures that the clothes are rinsed clean without excessive waste of water and electricity, and also prevents damage to the clothes.

[0070] In some embodiments, when the current operating stage is a dehydration stage, generating the adjustment instruction when it is determined that the purified water value does not meet the purified water threshold corresponding to the current operating stage includes: when it is determined that the purified water value does not meet the purified water threshold corresponding to the Nth dehydration process in the current operating stage, generating the adjustment instruction based on the remaining dehydration processes in the current operating stage and / or the obtained material information of the current laundry; wherein, the adjustment instruction includes: adding a new dehydration process, or adjusting the parameters corresponding to the remaining dehydration processes.

[0071] Specifically, during the spin-drying stage of the washing machine, the parameters corresponding to the spin-drying stage, such as the spin speed and the number of spin cycles, are adjusted by obtaining information about the material of the clothes. If the clothes are made of damaged materials such as silk, the washing machine needs to be adjusted to reduce the number of spin cycles and the spin speed. If the clothes are made of materials such as linen, the washing machine needs to be adjusted to increase the spin speed.

[0072] It should be noted that in the above method embodiments, after the washing machine enters the spin-drying operation in each operating stage and detects the water quality information of the spin-dried washing water, the controller of the washing machine calculates and processes the water quality information to obtain the purified water value.

[0073] In another possible embodiment, the washing machine can also send the detected water quality information to a cloud server, whereby the cloud server analyzes and processes the water quality information, generates corresponding adjustment instructions, and sends the adjustment instructions to the washing machine.

[0074] Specifically, the method further includes: sending the current operating stage and the corresponding water quality information of the laundry water to the cloud server, so that when the cloud server generates the adjustment instruction based on the current operating stage and the corresponding water quality information of the laundry water, it will provide feedback on the adjustment instruction.

[0075] To better understand this application, the laundry treatment method will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific application scenarios.

[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, the basic architecture of the application scenario provided in this embodiment mainly includes a washing machine 201 and a cloud server 202; wherein, when the washing machine enters the spin-drying operation in the current operating stage, it detects water quality information and sends the water quality information to the cloud server. The cloud server analyzes and processes the water quality information, generates corresponding adjustment instructions, and sends the adjustment instructions to the washing machine. The washing machine adjusts the processing flow of the current operating stage and / or the next operating stage according to the adjustment instructions.

[0077] For more details, see Figure 3 This embodiment describes the washing process using the interaction between a washing machine and a cloud server as an example.

[0078] like Figure 3 As shown, the method provided in this embodiment includes:

[0079] S301, when the washing machine detects that the washing operation has entered the spin-drying operation, it detects the first water quality information of the washing water extracted under the spin-drying operation.

[0080] S302, the washing machine sends the first water quality information to the cloud server.

[0081] S303, the cloud server processes the first water quality information to obtain the first purified water value.

[0082] Specifically, after the cloud server receives the water quality information sent by the washing machine (such as multiple indicators such as turbidity, transparency and conductivity of the washing water), it sums these indicators by weight to obtain the first purified water value during the washing operation.

[0083] S304, when the cloud server determines that the first purified water value does not meet the first purified water threshold corresponding to the washing operation stage, it obtains the material information of the current laundry and generates a first adjustment instruction based on the material information of the current laundry, or the material information of the current laundry and the number of rinsing cycles in the next rinsing operation stage of the current operation stage.

[0084] S305, the cloud server sends the first adjustment instruction to the washing machine.

[0085] S306, according to the first adjustment instruction, after the washing operation phase ends, the washing machine adds a new washing operation phase and sets washing parameters corresponding to the material information of the current clothes in the new washing operation phase; the washing parameters include one or more of the following: temperature parameters, washing time parameters; or, the number of rinsing cycles is increased in the rinsing operation phase.

[0086] In some embodiments, the net water value can be the total dissolved solids (TDS) value, which refers to the concentration of total dissolved substances in water, measured in milligrams per liter (mg / L). A higher net water value indicates a higher content of impurities in the water, and vice versa.

[0087] In one possible scenario, the water purification threshold corresponding to the washing operation phase can be determined as the first water purification threshold. The range of the first water purification threshold can be determined based on a large number of test results. For example, the range of the first water purification threshold can be between 300 and 400. Preferably, the first water purification threshold can be set to 350.

[0088] Specifically, during the spin-drying operation in the washing cycle, the first purified water value of the spun water is detected. This first purified water value is then compared with a first purified water threshold. If the first purified water value is greater than a first preset purified water threshold, it indicates that there are more impurities in the washing water, suggesting a higher degree of clothing contamination, thus requiring an additional washing cycle. Furthermore, the controller obtains information about the material of the clothes being washed. For example, the controller uses a camera to capture images of the clothes inside the washing drum, analyzes these images to obtain the material information, and then adjusts parameters such as washing time or water temperature in the new washing cycle based on this information. For instance, if the normal washing cycle time is 12 minutes, and the clothes are determined to be made of silk, the controller will reduce the washing time by a few minutes (e.g., by 5 minutes).

[0089] Furthermore, since the first purified water value is greater than the first purified water threshold, the number of rinses in the next rinsing cycle will be increased by a preset number of times. For example, if the normal rinsing cycle consists of three rinses, then one more rinse will be added, so when the washing machine enters the rinsing cycle, it will perform four rinses.

[0090] Conversely, if the first purified water value is less than or equal to the first purified water threshold, it indicates that there are fewer impurities in the water, which in turn indicates the degree of soiling of the washed clothes. In this case, there is no need to add a new washing cycle, and the number of rinses in the next rinsing cycle should be reduced. For example, the original three rinsing operations can be reduced to two rinsing operations.

[0091] S307, when the washing machine detects that the rinsing operation has entered the spin-drying operation, it detects the second water quality information of the washing water extracted during the spin-drying operation of the Nth rinsing cycle.

[0092] S308, the washing machine sends the second water quality information to the cloud server.

[0093] S309, the cloud server processes the second water quality information to obtain the second purified water value.

[0094] S310, when the cloud server determines that the second purified water value does not meet the purified water threshold corresponding to the Nth rinse process in the rinsing operation stage, it generates a second adjustment instruction based on the remaining rinsing process in the current operation stage, the material information of the current laundry, and / or the dehydration parameters of the next dehydration operation stage of the rinsing operation stage.

[0095] S311, the cloud server sends the second adjustment instruction to the washing machine.

[0096] S312, the washing machine increases the number of rinsing cycles in the rinsing operation phase and / or adjusts the rinsing parameters of the remaining rinsing cycles according to the second adjustment instruction; or, adjusts the dehydration parameters of the dehydration operation phase.

[0097] In one possible scenario, the rinsing operation phase may include N rinsing processes, each corresponding to a clean water threshold. The clean water threshold for each rinsing process can be determined based on actual data and experience. For example, the clean water threshold corresponding to the rinsing operation phase can be defined as the second clean water threshold, and the value of the second clean water threshold can be between 250 and 300. Preferably, the second clean water threshold can be set to 270.

[0098] Specifically, during the spin-drying operation in the rinsing phase, the net water value of the spun water is detected and compared with the second preset net water threshold. If the net water value is greater than the second preset net water threshold, it indicates that there are many impurities in the washing water after the first rinse, which means that the clothes cannot be cleaned after one rinse. The washing machine then continues with the second rinse cycle... until the washing machine finishes the Nth rinse cycle. After that, the detected net water value is compared with the net water threshold corresponding to the Nth rinse cycle (e.g., the net water threshold is 150). If the net water value is still greater than 150, it means that the clothes are still not cleaned after the washing machine has performed the normal N rinse cycles. A preset number of new rinse cycles (e.g., add 1) are then added until the net water value of the washing water after rinsing is lower than the corresponding net water threshold, and then the current rinsing operation phase ends.

[0099] Furthermore, the system obtains the material information of the clothes being washed and then adjusts the rinsing parameters in the remaining rinsing cycle based on this information. For example, if the normal rinsing cycle lasts 5 minutes, and the clothes are determined to be made of silk, the controller will reduce the rinsing time of each cycle in the remaining rinsing cycle by a few minutes (e.g., 2 minutes). This ensures that the clothes are not damaged during multiple rinsing processes.

[0100] In one possible scenario, if the purified water value during the rinsing stage is greater than the corresponding purified water threshold, after obtaining the fabric information, the washing machine can also generate adjustment instructions for the spin-drying parameters based on this information. When the washing machine enters the next spin-drying stage, these instructions are used to adjust the spin-drying parameters. These parameters can include spin speed and the number of spin cycles. For example, if the fabric is silk, the adjustment instruction will reduce the spin speed and the number of spin cycles when the washing machine enters the spin-drying stage. The specific reduction amount and the number of reductions can be preset by relevant personnel.

[0101] Conversely, if the water purity value of the washing water is less than or equal to the water purity threshold corresponding to that rinsing process after a certain rinsing cycle in the rinsing operation phase, it means that the clothes are rinsed clean. In this case, regardless of whether there are any remaining rinsing cycles, the current rinsing operation phase ends directly and the next operation phase begins.

[0102] S313, the washing machine has finished the rinsing stage and is entering the next spin-drying stage.

[0103] In one possible embodiment, the method further includes: if no adjustment instruction corresponding to the water quality information of the washing water is obtained within a preset time after the end of the current running phase, the method proceeds to the next running phase according to the initial washing mode to perform washing processing.

[0104] Specifically, the washing machine and the cloud server need to communicate via a network.
