[0002] People often use washing machines to wash their family's clothes. Due to the work environment or occasional visits to places with poor hygiene, clothes can carry a large number of bacteria. If clothes are not sterilized, bacteria can continue to survive on them and even contaminate other family members' clothes, adversely affecting their health.

[0003] Existing washing machines have limited sterilization functions, such as only using disinfectant or antibacterial solutions for sterilization.

[0027] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. For example, although this embodiment uses a washing machine as an example to describe the clothing sterilization system and its control method, the application of the clothing sterilization system and its control method in this embodiment is not fixed. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios. For example, the clothing sterilization system and its control method can also be applied to a dryer or a simple clothing sterilization device.

[0028] It should be noted that in the description of this invention, terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," indicating directional or positional relationships, are based on the directional or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These are merely for ease of description and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation; therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, 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; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, namely the inconvenience for users when using the sterilization function of existing washing machines, or even the problem of inappropriate selection of sterilization methods, this embodiment provides a clothing sterilization system and its control method.

[0031] First, such as Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a clothing sterilization system, which includes a recommendation module 3 and an execution module 5. The recommendation module 3 is configured to recommend feasible sterilization schemes based on the types of bacteria carried by the clothing and / or the type of clothing material, and in combination with the mapping relationship between the types of bacteria carried by the clothing and / or the type of clothing material and sterilization schemes. The execution module 5 is configured to execute the corresponding sterilization action according to the feasible sterilization scheme.

[0032] For example, the recommendation module 3 can be configured to recommend feasible sterilization solutions based on the types of bacteria carried by the clothing and the mapping relationship between the types of bacteria carried by the clothing and sterilization solutions.

[0033] The recommendation module 3 can also be set to recommend feasible sterilization solutions based on the type of clothing material and the mapping relationship between clothing material type and sterilization solution.

[0034] The recommended module 3 settings can also recommend feasible sterilization solutions based on the types of bacteria carried by the clothing and the type of clothing material, and combine the mapping relationship between the types of bacteria carried by the clothing and the type of clothing material and the sterilization solution.

[0035] In this way, the clothing sterilization system can automatically sterilize clothing, thus avoiding the problem of people choosing the wrong sterilization solution.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the clothing sterilization system provided in this example, the recommendation module 3 is further configured to recommend all feasible sterilization solutions to the user when there are multiple feasible sterilization solutions; the clothing sterilization system also includes a determination module 4, which is configured to determine the final feasible sterilization solution based on the user's selection operation based on all feasible sterilization solutions; the execution module 5 is configured to execute the corresponding sterilization action according to the final feasible sterilization solution. For example, the sterilization action may be turning on the ultraviolet sterilization device or automatically dispensing sterilizing agent, etc.

[0037] For example, when the user knows the types of bacteria carried by the clothing and the type of clothing material, they can directly input or select them on the operation interface 7 of the clothing sterilization system. Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the clothing sterilization system provided in this example, the clothing sterilization system also includes a bacterial detector 12 and / or a clothing material type detector 11. That is, the bacterial detector 12 automatically determines the types of bacteria carried by the clothing; existing bacterial detectors 12 include various bacterial detection instruments based on mass spectrometry, chromatography, and spectral analysis technologies. The clothing material type detector 11 directly confirms the type of clothing material; for example, existing clothing material type detectors 11 include the related devices disclosed in Chinese patent applications CN211645715U and CN106758084A.

[0038] The bacterial detector 12 in the clothing sterilization system can detect the types and quantities of bacteria carried on clothing. The execution module is configured to determine the sterilization time and / or the dosage of disinfectant based on the number of bacteria on the clothing. Understandably, when the number of bacteria is high, a longer sterilization time and a larger dosage of disinfectant are required for efficient sterilization.

[0039] The mapping relationship between the types of bacteria carried by clothing, the type of clothing material, and the sterilization scheme can be expressed as follows: This can be achieved by using multiple sterilization schemes in a washing machine with sterilization function, and mapping each scheme to the types of bacteria it can kill; or by pre-storing multiple sterilization schemes in the washing machine, and mapping each scheme to the types of clothing materials it can be applied to. A feasible sterilization scheme is one that satisfies both mapping relationships based on the detected types of bacteria carried by clothing and the type of clothing material. It is understood that when multiple types of bacteria and clothing materials are detected, the feasible sterilization scheme must meet all corresponding requirements.

[0040] To achieve the above objectives, as a preferred embodiment of the clothing sterilization system provided in this example, the clothing sterilization system further includes a mapping module 31; the mapping module 31 is configured to select all first sterilization schemes based on the types of bacteria carried by the clothing, and select all second sterilization schemes based on the type of clothing material, and then determine the same sterilization schemes among all first sterilization schemes and all second sterilization schemes as all feasible sterilization schemes; or, the mapping module 31 is configured to first select all first sterilization schemes based on the types of bacteria carried by the clothing, and then select all feasible sterilization schemes among all first sterilization schemes based on the type of clothing material.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment of the clothing sterilization system provided in this example, the sterilization scheme of the clothing sterilization system can be at least one of ozone sterilization, ultraviolet sterilization, steam sterilization, high-temperature gas sterilization, and the addition of a sterilizing agent.

[0042] The clothing sterilization system of this embodiment can recommend all feasible sterilization solutions to the user based on the types of bacteria carried by the clothing and the type of clothing material, combined with a pre-stored mapping relationship between the types of bacteria carried by the clothing and the type of clothing material and sterilization solutions. Then, based on the user's selection operation based on all feasible sterilization solutions, the final feasible sterilization solution is determined, and the corresponding sterilization action is executed according to the final feasible sterilization solution. In this way, the washing machine can automatically and accurately select the sterilization solution, and user preferences are taken into account, making the sterilization function of the washing machine more convenient to use.

[0043] As a preferred embodiment of the clothing sterilization system provided in this example, the clothing sterilization system further includes a display interface 6 and / or an operation interface 7; the display interface 6 is configured to display all feasible sterilization solutions recommended to the user; and / or, the display interface 6 is configured to display sterilization status information, which includes at least one of the name of the feasible sterilization solution being executed, the remaining sterilization time, and sterilization precautions; and / or, the operation interface 7 is configured to allow the user to select an operation based on all feasible sterilization solutions.

[0044] For example, the operation interface 7 can be a button or a touch screen with touch input function. It is understood that this embodiment only describes some of the display functions of the display interface 6 and some of the input functions of the operation interface 7, and is not an exhaustive list of the functions of the display interface 6 and the operation interface 7. Any implementation schemes by those skilled in the art that extend the functions of the display interface 6 and the operation interface 7 based on the clothing sterilization system described in this embodiment should also fall within the scope of this embodiment.

[0045] It should be noted that the display interface 6 and operation interface 7 include not only the display interface 6 and operation interface 7 installed on the washing machine using the clothing sterilization system, but also the display interface 6 and operation interface 7 installed on other mobile devices, including mobile devices, computers, or in-vehicle devices built into floating cars. In some embodiments, the mobile device may include, for example, a mobile phone, smart home device, wearable device, smart mobile device, virtual reality device, or any combination thereof.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment of the clothing sterilization system provided in this example, the clothing sterilization system further includes a ranking module 32; the ranking module 32 is configured to prioritize all feasible sterilization solutions based on at least one of the following: sterilization time required, sterilization cost, and the user's historical selection records.

[0047] For example, in specific implementation, when displaying all feasible sterilization solutions, the display interface 6 can simultaneously sort them according to the required sterilization time, sterilization cost, or the number of times the user has selected them in their historical operations. It can also perform a comprehensive sorting based on factors such as the required sterilization time, sterilization cost, and the user's historical selection records. Simultaneously, while displaying the priority ranking of the feasible sterilization solutions, it can also display information such as the required sterilization time.

[0048] As a preferred embodiment of the clothing sterilization system provided in this example, the recommendation module 3 is configured to recommend all feasible sterilization solutions to the user according to the priority ranking of all feasible sterilization solutions; and / or, the display interface 6 is configured to inform the user that if no selection operation is performed based on all feasible sterilization solutions within the preset operation period, the feasible sterilization solution with the first priority will be automatically determined as the final feasible sterilization solution at the end of the preset operation period; and / or, the determination module 4 is further configured to automatically determine the feasible sterilization solution with the first priority as the final feasible sterilization solution at the end of the preset operation period if the user does not perform a selection operation based on all feasible sterilization solutions within the preset operation period.

[0049] The clothing sterilization system according to this embodiment can also prioritize all feasible sterilization solutions based on at least one of sterilization time, sterilization cost, and the user's historical selection records; and can recommend all feasible sterilization solutions to the user according to the priority ranking of all feasible sterilization solutions. This allows the user to choose the sterilization solution with the shortest time or lowest sterilization cost from all recommended feasible sterilization solutions according to their own usage needs. Furthermore, during user operation, the system can improve the ranking of a sterilization solution based on the user's historical selection records, and if the user does not select any feasible sterilization solution within a preset operation period, the feasible sterilization solution with the highest priority will be automatically determined as the final feasible sterilization solution at the end of the preset operation period. This ensures that the sterilization solutions recommended by the system match the user's usage habits and reduces the number of operations required by the user during use.

[0050] As a preferred embodiment of the clothing sterilization system provided in this example, the recommendation module 3 is configured to selectively prompt the user whether to perform washing operations simultaneously based on the determined final feasible sterilization plan; and / or, the determining module 4 is further configured to determine the amount of sterilizing agent to be added based on the determined actual water volume when the final feasible sterilization plan is to add sterilizing agent; and / or, the recommendation module 3 is further configured to recommend all feasible sterilization plans to the user from the sterilization plans suitable for washing after the user selects the washing and sterilization combination mode, based on the types of bacteria carried by the clothing and the type of clothing material, and combined with the pre-stored mapping relationship between the types of bacteria carried by the clothing and the type of clothing material and the sterilization plan.

[0051] For example, when the clothing sterilization system of this embodiment is used in a washing machine, the washing function of the clothes can be considered at the same time, so as to reduce the total required time through the coordination between clothing sterilization and washing.

[0052] As a preferred embodiment of the clothing sterilization system provided in this example, the clothing sterilization system further includes a matching module 2; the matching module 2 is configured to match the corresponding clothing-borne bacteria species in the local database 21, cloud database 22, or network database 23 based on the bacterial characteristics detected by the bacterial detector 12; and / or, the matching module 2 is configured to first match the corresponding clothing-borne bacteria species in the local database 21 or cloud database 22 based on the bacterial characteristics detected by the bacterial detector 12, and if the matching of clothing-borne bacteria species cannot be completed in the local database 21 or cloud database 22, then continue to match or search for corresponding or similar clothing-borne bacteria species information in the network database 23.

[0053] For example, when matching the bacterial characteristics detected by the bacterial detector 12 to the corresponding bacterial species carried by clothing, matching in the local database 21 is the most convenient method. However, the local database 21 generally requires active updating by the user to ensure the reliability of finding the corresponding bacterial species carried by clothing in the local database 21. The cloud database 22 is more convenient to update than the local database 21 and can share data. When the bacterial detector 12 cannot identify bacterial species due to new bacteria or viruses, the corresponding or similar bacterial species information carried by clothing can be matched or searched in the network database 23, which can guarantee the fastest update speed. Thus, the matching module 2 and the bacterial detector 12 cooperate to ensure the reliability of the clothing sterilization system in this embodiment.

[0054] Of course, the alternative implementation methods described above, as well as the alternative implementation methods and preferred implementation methods, can be used in combination to create new implementation methods that are suitable for more specific application scenarios.

[0055] It should be noted that the clothing sterilization system provided in the above embodiments is only illustrated by the division of the above functional modules (such as recommendation module 3, determination module 4, execution module 5, etc.). In practical applications, the above functional modules can be completed by different functional modules as needed, that is, the functional modules in the embodiments of the present invention can be further decomposed or combined. For example, the functional modules in the above embodiments can be merged into one functional module, or further divided into multiple sub-units to complete all or part of the functions described above. The names of the functional modules involved in the embodiments of the present invention are only for differentiation and are not considered as improper limitations on the present invention. For example, the confirmation module, mapping module 31, and ranking module 32 in this embodiment can be combined into a new data processing module.

[0056] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above-described clothing sterilization system also includes other known structures, such as processors, controllers, and memories. These memories include, but are not limited to, random access memory (RAM), flash memory, read-only memory (ROM), programmable read-only memory (PROM), volatile memory, non-volatile memory, serial memory, parallel memory, or registers. Processors include, but are not limited to, CPLD / FPGA, DSP, ARM processors, and MIPS processors. To avoid unnecessarily obscuring the embodiments of this disclosure, these known structures are not shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0059] S2. Perform the corresponding sterilization actions according to the feasible sterilization plan.

[0060] In this way, the clothing sterilization system can automatically sterilize clothing, thus avoiding the problem of people choosing the wrong sterilization solution.

[0061] The clothing sterilization control method of this embodiment can recommend all feasible sterilization solutions to the user based on the types of bacteria carried by the clothing and the type of clothing material, combined with the pre-stored mapping relationship between the types of bacteria carried by the clothing and the type of clothing material and sterilization solutions. Then, based on the user's selection operation based on all feasible sterilization solutions, the final feasible sterilization solution is determined, and the corresponding sterilization action is executed according to the final feasible sterilization solution. In this way, the washing machine can automatically and accurately select the sterilization solution, and user preferences are taken into account, making the sterilization function of the washing machine more convenient to use.

[0062] It should be noted that although the detailed steps of the method of the present invention have been described in detail above, those skilled in the art can combine, split, and change the order of the above steps without departing from the basic principles of the present invention. Such modified technical solutions do not change the basic concept of the present invention and therefore also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0063] Those skilled in the art will understand that the clothing sterilization control method provided in this embodiment can be stored as a program in a computer-readable storage medium. This storage medium includes several instructions to cause a computer device (which may be a personal computer, server, or network device, etc.) or processor to execute some steps of the methods of the various embodiments of the present invention. The aforementioned storage medium includes various media capable of storing program code, such as a USB flash drive, portable hard drive, read-only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), magnetic disk, or optical disk.
