Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of household electrical appliances, and in particular to a detection method, a device, a clothing processing device and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Related household electrical appliances need to be used in conjunction with a base. Specifically, taking an electric iron as an example, during use, the main body of the electric iron needs to be placed on the base, and the base is used to supply power to the main body.

[0003] Technicians in this field have discovered that the existing technical solutions use sensors to detect whether the main body is placed on the base. For example, if the sensor is set on the main body, an opening structure needs to be opened on the main body, and the sensor is placed in the opening structure to identify the position of the base. The setting of the sensor requires a large space, the assembly procedure is complicated, and the production efficiency is low. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related art.

[0005] To this end, a first aspect of the present invention is to provide a detection method for a laundry treating apparatus.

[0006] A second aspect of the present invention provides a detection device for a laundry treating device.

[0007] A third aspect of the present invention provides a clothes treating device.

[0008] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a clothes treating device.

[0009] A fifth aspect of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium.

[0010] In view of this, according to a first aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a detection method for a clothing processing device, the clothing processing device includes a main body and a base, the base can be detachably connected to the main body, the base includes a first pumping device, the main body includes a liquid container, the first pumping device is used to pump liquid into the liquid container, the detection method is used to detect the connection status of the main body and the base, the detection method includes: detecting the status of the first pumping device; according to the status of the first pumping device, determining the connection status of the main body and the base.

[0011] The technical solution of the present invention proposes a detection method, which is applicable to a clothing treatment device, wherein the clothing treatment device includes a base provided with a first pumping device and a body including a liquid container, and the first pumping device can deliver liquid to the liquid container to achieve liquid replenishment in the liquid container. Specifically, the base and the body are detachably connected, and when the base and the body are in a separated state, the first pumping device cannot pump the liquid to the liquid container, and when the body is installed on the base, that is, when the base and the body are in a non-separated state, the first pumping device can pump the liquid to the liquid container.

[0012] The technical solution of the present application determines the connection relationship between the base and the main body by detecting the state of the first pumping device arranged on the base. In this technical solution, there are many ways to detect the state of the first pumping device, which is no longer limited by the installation position of the sensor. Therefore, the technical solution of the present application can achieve the same function as the existing technical solution, that is, detecting whether the main body is placed on the base without opening a separate opening structure, thereby effectively reducing the complexity of the assembly process of the clothing processing device and improving production efficiency.

[0013] In addition, the detection method for a clothing processing device in the above technical solution provided by the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0014] In the above technical solution, the main body also includes: a first detection device, the first detection device is configured to detect the zero-crossing signal and the current signal of the first pumping device, and the step of detecting the state of the first pumping device specifically includes: receiving the zero-crossing signal or the current signal, and determining that the first pumping device is in a power-on state; according to the state of the first pumping device, determining the connection state of the main body and the seat body, specifically includes: based on the first pumping device being in a power-on state, determining that the main body is connected to the seat body.

[0015] In this technical solution, whether the first pumping device is in a powered-on state is determined by detecting the zero-crossing signal and the current signal of the first pumping device, and further the connection state between the main body and the seat body can be determined by the detection result of the first detection device.

[0016] In this process, the zero-crossing signal and the current signal are data signals. Therefore, there is no need to set an opening structure on the main body, nor is there a need to set up a separate sensor for detection. This effectively reduces the complexity of the assembly process of the clothing processing device and improves production efficiency.

[0017] In any of the above technical solutions, the main body also includes: a second detection device, the second detection device is configured to detect a pump body conduction signal of the first pumping device, and the step of detecting the state of the first pumping device specifically includes: receiving the pump body conduction signal, and determining that the first pumping device is in a power-on state; according to the state of the first pumping device, determining the connection state of the main body and the seat body, specifically includes: based on the first pumping device being in a power-on state, determining that the main body is connected to the seat body.

[0018] In this technical solution, the function of the first pumping device is to transport liquid to the liquid container so as to replenish the liquid in the liquid container. The first pumping device can only achieve the above-mentioned function when it is in a powered-on state. The first pumping device will inevitably receive a control signal, such as a pump body conduction signal, in the process of transporting liquid to the liquid container. Therefore, the state of the first pumping device can be determined based on whether the pump body conduction signal is received, and then based on the fact that the first pumping device is in a powered-on state, it can be determined that the main body is connected to the seat.

[0019] In this process, the connection between the main body and the seat can be determined by whether the first pumping device is powered on, and whether the first pumping device is powered on can be determined based on whether a pump conduction signal is received. The connection between the main body and the seat is indirectly detected by detecting whether the pump conduction signal is received. In the above process, the judgment conditions are transformed and replaced by relatively simple or easy technical means. Therefore, there is no need to set an opening structure on the main body or to set a separate sensor for detection. Therefore, the complexity of the assembly process of the clothing processing device is effectively reduced and the production efficiency is improved.

[0020] In any of the above technical solutions, the main body also includes: an interface: a third detection device, the third detection device is configured to detect the power access status of the interface to obtain a power access signal; the step of detecting the status of the first pumping device specifically includes: receiving the power access signal, and determining that the first pumping device is in a power-on state; according to the status of the first pumping device, the step of determining the connection status between the main body and the seat body specifically includes: based on the first pumping device being in a power-on state, determining that the main body is connected to the seat body.

[0021] In this technical solution, when the main body is installed on the base, it will be connected to the base using the interface provided on the main body, and the third detection device can detect the power access status of the interface. Therefore, the power access status can be used to characterize the state of the first pumping device. After determining the state of the first pumping device, the connection between the main body and the base is determined according to the state of the first pumping device.

[0022] In any of the above technical solutions, the main body also includes: a power supply detection device, which is configured to detect a power supply signal; the detection method also includes: based on receiving a power supply signal and the first pumping device is not in a power-on state, determining that the main body is connected to the power cord of the clothing processing device; based on not receiving a power supply signal and the first pumping device is not in a power-on state, determining that the main body is not connected to the power cord and the base.

[0023] Since there is no first pumping device in the power cord, when the main body is powered by the power cord, the first pumping device is in an unpowered state, and the zero-crossing signal, current signal and pump body conduction signal in the above technical solution cannot be detected. Therefore, receiving the power supply signal and the first pumping device being in an unpowered state are used as the judgment conditions for the connection between the main body and the power cord.

[0024] In the above process, whether the main body is used independently or connected to the power cord can be determined according to the power-on status of the first pumping device and whether the power supply signal is received. In this judgment process, the parameters obtained are relatively few, which is convenient for reducing the hardware requirements of the clothing processing device and reducing the risk of errors.

[0025] In any of the above technical solutions, the detection method also includes: obtaining the liquid storage amount of the liquid container; controlling the first pumping device to stop running based on the liquid storage amount of the main body being greater than or equal to a pre-set liquid storage threshold; controlling the first pumping device to run based on the liquid storage amount of the main body being less than a pre-set liquid storage threshold.

[0026] In this technical solution, the base is provided with a first pumping device, and the first pumping device can replenish liquid to the liquid container. Therefore, the liquid storage amount of the liquid container is obtained, and whether to replenish liquid is determined according to the liquid storage amount. Specifically, in order to ensure that the liquid container is always maintained within a dynamic range, a liquid storage threshold can be pre-set, so as to determine whether to replenish liquid according to the comparison result between the liquid storage amount of the liquid container and the liquid storage threshold. In this process, since the operation or stop of the first pumping device is determined based on the liquid storage amount, no user intervention is required, thereby improving the intelligence of the clothing processing device.

[0027] According to a second aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a detection device for a clothing processing device, comprising: a memory having a computer program stored therein; and a controller executing the computer program to implement the steps of any of the above-mentioned detection methods for a clothing processing device.

[0028] The technical solution of the present invention proposes a detection device for a clothing processing device, wherein the detection device for a clothing processing device comprises a memory and a controller, and the controller executes a computer program to implement the steps of the detection method for a clothing processing device as described in any one of the first aspects. Therefore, the detection device for a clothing processing device has all the beneficial technical effects of any one of the above-mentioned detection methods for a clothing processing device, which will not be repeated here.

[0029] According to a third aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a clothing processing device, comprising: a main body; the main body includes a liquid container, the main body can be detachably connected to a base of the clothing processing device, the base includes a first pumping device, the first pumping device is used to pump liquid into the liquid container; a control device, the control device is configured to: detect the state of the first pumping device; and determine the connection state of the main body and the base according to the state of the first pumping device.

[0030] In the technical solution of the present invention, a clothing treatment device is proposed, comprising: a body; that is, a body is proposed, and the body is a component of the clothing treatment device. From the perspective of the clothing treatment device, the clothing treatment device includes a base provided with a first pumping device and a body including a liquid container. The first pumping device can transport liquid to the liquid container to achieve liquid replenishment in the liquid container. Specifically, the base and the body are detachably connected. When the base and the body are in a separated state, the first pumping device cannot pump liquid to the liquid container. When the body is installed on the base, that is, when the base and the body are in a non-separated state, the first pumping device can pump liquid to the liquid container.

[0031] Specifically, when the control device executes the above steps, it can detect whether the body and the base are connected for use. Specifically, the existing technical solution usually uses a sensor to detect whether the body is placed on the base, and this type of sensor belongs to contact detection. Therefore, the sensor needs to be set on the body, so it is necessary to open an opening structure on the body facing the base or capable of detecting the base, so as to set the sensor in the opening structure, thereby realizing the recognition of the base and judging whether the body is placed on the base. In the existing detection method, it is necessary to open an opening structure on the body and install the sensor. Therefore, the assembly process of the product is complicated and the production efficiency is low. In order to solve the above problems, the technical solution of the present application determines the connection relationship between the base and the body by detecting the state of the first pumping device set on the base. In this technical solution, there are many ways to detect the state of the first pumping device, which is no longer limited by the installation position of the sensor. Therefore, the technical solution of the present application can achieve the same effect as the existing technical solution, that is, to detect whether the body is placed on the base, without the need to open an opening structure separately, so it effectively reduces the complexity of the assembly process of the clothing processing device and improves the production efficiency.

[0032] In addition, the clothes processing device in the above technical solution provided by the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0033] In the above technical solution, the main body also includes: a heating device, which is configured to receive a power supply signal and generate heat; an interface, which includes: a first power supply contact; a second power supply contact, the first power supply contact and the second power supply contact can be connected to the power cord of the base and the clothing processing device, and the first power supply contact and the second power supply contact are respectively connected to the heating device to provide a power supply signal to the heating device.

[0034] In this technical solution, the heating device can be understood as a device that receives a power supply signal and can generate heat under the action of the power supply signal. Taking the heater in an electric iron as an example, under normal circumstances, the heating device can be a heating device with a resistance and an insulating part on the surface of the heating device, wherein the heating device can be a heating wire, and the heat emitted by the heating wire is used to heat the insulating part.

[0035] In this technical solution, the interface of the main body can be connected to the base or to the power cord of the clothing processing device. Regardless of whether the interface of the main body is connected to the base or the power cord, it is necessary to obtain a power supply signal and transmit the power supply signal to the heating device. In order to form a loop, it is necessary to define at least a first power supply contact and a second power supply contact, wherein the first power supply contact is connected to the first end of the heating device, and the second power supply contact is connected to the second end of the heating device, so that the heating device is connected in series between the first power supply contact and the second power supply contact.

[0036] In any of the above technical solutions, the interface further includes: a third power supply contact, the third power supply contact and the first power supply contact are connected via a wire, and the third power supply contact is configured to supply power to the first pumping device.

[0037] In this technical solution, the interface also includes: a third power supply contact, wherein the third power supply contact can supply power to the first pumping device. It can be understood that the first pumping device arranged on the base needs to be energized by the third power supply contact located on the interface on the main body. When the main body is separated from the base, the first pumping device located on the base cannot be powered on. Such a design solution avoids the false start-up of the first pumping device due to interference from other signals when the main body is separated from the base.

[0038] Specifically, when the clothes processing device is used in a humid environment, the first pumping device will not leak electricity due to the humid environment. By limiting the above content, the user's electricity safety is ensured.

[0039] In addition, the third power supply contact is integrated into the interface, so that when the main body and the base are installed and used, the first power supply contact, the second power supply contact and the third power supply contact are connected together, which is equivalent to a separate plug-in method, reducing the number of plug-ins and improving the user's operating experience.

[0040] In any of the above technical solutions, the main body also includes: a switching device, which is arranged on the wire, and the control device is also configured to: obtain the liquid storage amount of the liquid container; based on the liquid storage amount of the main body being greater than or equal to a preset liquid storage threshold, control the switching device to close; based on the liquid storage amount of the main body being less than a preset liquid storage threshold, control the switching device to open.

[0041] In this technical solution, the base is provided with a first pumping device, and the first pumping device can replenish liquid to the liquid container. Therefore, the liquid storage amount of the liquid container is obtained, and whether to replenish liquid is determined according to the liquid storage amount. Specifically, in order to ensure that the liquid container is always maintained within a dynamic range, a liquid storage threshold can be pre-set, so as to determine whether to replenish liquid according to the comparison result between the liquid storage amount of the liquid container and the liquid storage threshold. In this process, since the operation or stop of the first pumping device is determined based on the liquid storage amount, no user intervention is required, thereby improving the intelligence of the clothing processing device.

[0042] Furthermore, by limiting the setting of the switch device on the wire, the control part for opening and closing the first pumping device is set on the main body, and there is no need to set the switch device on the base, which facilitates the integration of the control part of the clothing processing device on the main body, which is equivalent to setting the switch device on the base. The integrated control scheme is more stable than the distributed control scheme, and the operation of the clothing processing device is more reliable.

[0043] In any of the above technical solutions, the main body further includes: a second pumping device, which is configured to pump the liquid in the liquid container to the heating device.

[0044] In this technical solution, a second pumping device is provided to supply liquid to the heating device. Since the second pumping device can be controlled, the operating parameters of the second pumping device can be reasonably controlled according to the user's needs to ensure that the amount of liquid pumped to the heating device meets the user's needs.

[0045] In any of the above technical solutions, the main body also includes: a first detection device, a first end of the first detection device is connected to the first end of the switching device, a second end of the first detection device is connected to the second end of the switching device, the first detection device is configured to detect the detection zero-crossing signal and current signal of the first pumping device, and the control device is specifically configured to: receive the zero-crossing signal or the current signal, and determine that the first pumping device is in the power-on state; based on the first pumping device being in the power-on state, determine that the main body is connected to the seat.

[0046] In this technical solution, whether the first pumping device is in a powered-on state is determined by detecting the zero-crossing signal and the current signal of the first pumping device, and further the connection state between the main body and the seat body can be determined by the detection result of the first detection device.

[0047] In this process, the zero-crossing signal and the current signal are data signals. Therefore, there is no need to set an opening structure on the main body, nor is there a need to set up a separate sensor for detection. This effectively reduces the complexity of the assembly process of the clothing processing device and improves production efficiency.

[0048] In any of the above technical solutions, the main body also includes: a second detection device, which is configured to detect a pump body conduction signal, and the control device is specifically configured to: receive the pump body conduction signal, determine that the first pumping device is in a power-on state; based on the first pumping device being in a power-on state, determine that the main body is connected to the seat body.

[0049] In this technical solution, the function of the first pumping device is to transport liquid to the liquid container so as to replenish the liquid in the liquid container. The first pumping device can only achieve the above-mentioned function when it is in a powered-on state. The first pumping device will inevitably receive a control signal, such as a pump body conduction signal, in the process of transporting liquid to the liquid container. Therefore, the state of the first pumping device can be determined based on whether the pump body conduction signal is received, and then based on the fact that the first pumping device is in a powered-on state, it can be determined that the main body is connected to the seat.

[0050] In this process, the connection between the main body and the seat can be determined by whether the first pumping device is powered on, and whether the first pumping device is powered on can be determined based on whether a pump conduction signal is received. The connection between the main body and the seat is indirectly detected by detecting whether the pump conduction signal is received. In the above process, the judgment conditions are transformed and replaced by relatively simple or easy technical means. Therefore, there is no need to set an opening structure on the main body or to set a separate sensor for detection. Therefore, the complexity of the assembly process of the clothing processing device is effectively reduced and the production efficiency is improved.

[0051] In any of the above technical solutions, the main body also includes: a third detection device, which is configured to detect the power access status of the interface to obtain a power access signal; the control device is specifically configured to: receive the power access signal, determine that the first pumping device is in a power-on state; based on the first pumping device being in a power-on state, determine that the main body is connected to the seat.

[0052] In this technical solution, when the main body is installed on the base, it will be connected to the base using the interface provided on the main body, and the third detection device can detect the power access status of the interface. Therefore, the power access status can be used to characterize the state of the first pumping device. After determining the state of the first pumping device, the connection between the main body and the base is determined according to the state of the first pumping device.

[0053] In any of the above technical solutions, the main body also includes: a power detection device, a first end of the power detection device is connected to the first power supply contact, a second end of the power detection device is connected to the second power supply contact, and the power detection device is configured to detect a power supply signal; the control device is specifically configured to: based on receiving a power supply signal and the first pumping device is not in a power-on state, determine that the main body is connected to the power cord of the clothing processing device; based on not receiving a power supply signal and the first pumping device is not in a power-on state, determine that the main body is not connected to the power cord and the base.

[0054] In this technical solution, since there is no first pumping device in the power cord, when the main body is powered by the power cord, the first pumping device is in an unpowered state, and the zero-crossing signal, current signal and pump body conduction signal in the above technical solution cannot be detected. Therefore, receiving the power supply signal and the first pumping device being in an unpowered state are used as the judgment conditions for the connection between the main body and the power cord.

[0055] In the above process, whether the main body is used independently or connected to the power cord can be determined according to the power-on status of the first pumping device and whether the power supply signal is received. In this judgment process, the parameters obtained are relatively few, which is convenient for reducing the hardware requirements of the clothing processing device and reducing the risk of errors.

[0056] According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a clothes treating device, comprising: a base; and a body of the clothes treating device in the third aspect, wherein the base is provided with a first pumping device.

[0057] The technical solution of the present invention proposes a clothing processing device, wherein a detection device of the clothing processing device comprises a base and a main body, wherein the main body is consistent with the main body of the clothing processing device in the third aspect.

It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0074] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0075] Embodiment 1

[0076] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a detection method for a clothes processing device, comprising:

[0077] Step 102, detecting the state of the first pumping device;

[0078] Step 104, determining the connection state between the main body and the seat body according to the state of the first pumping device.

[0079] An embodiment of the present invention provides a detection method, which is applicable to a clothing treatment device, wherein the clothing treatment device includes a base provided with a first pumping device and a body including a liquid container, and the first pumping device can deliver liquid to the liquid container to achieve liquid replenishment in the liquid container. Specifically, the base and the body are detachably connected, and when the base and the body are in a separated state, the first pumping device cannot pump the liquid to the liquid container, and when the body is installed on the base, that is, when the base and the body are in a non-separated state, the first pumping device can pump the liquid to the liquid container.

[0080] Specifically, the proposed detection method for a clothing treatment device can detect whether the body and the base are connected for use. Specifically, the existing embodiments usually use sensors to detect whether the body is placed on the base, and such sensors belong to contact detection. Therefore, the sensor needs to be set on the body, so it is necessary to open an opening structure on the body facing the base or capable of detecting the base, so as to set the sensor in the opening structure, thereby realizing the recognition of the base and determining whether the body is placed on the base. In the existing detection method, it is necessary to open an opening structure on the body and install the sensor, so the assembly process of the product is complicated and the production efficiency is low. In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present application determines the connection relationship between the base and the body by detecting the state of the first pumping device set on the base. In this embodiment, there are many ways to detect the state of the first pumping device, which is no longer limited by the installation position of the sensor. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application can achieve the same effect as the existing embodiment, that is, to detect whether the body is placed on the base, without the need to open an opening structure separately, so the complexity of the assembly process of the clothing treatment device is effectively reduced and the production efficiency is improved.

[0081] Embodiment 2

[0082] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a detection method for a clothes processing device, comprising:

[0083] Step 202, receiving a zero-crossing signal or a current signal, and determining that the first pumping device is in a powered-on state;

[0084] Step 204: based on the first pumping device being powered on, determine that the main body is connected to the seat.

[0085] An embodiment of the present invention provides a detection method, which is applicable to a clothing treatment device, wherein the clothing treatment device includes a base provided with a first pumping device and a body including a liquid container, and the first pumping device can deliver liquid to the liquid container to achieve liquid replenishment in the liquid container. Specifically, the base and the body are detachably connected, and when the base and the body are in a separated state, the first pumping device cannot pump the liquid to the liquid container, and when the body is installed on the base, that is, when the base and the body are in a non-separated state, the first pumping device can pump the liquid to the liquid container.

[0086] Specifically, the proposed detection method for a clothing treatment device can detect whether the body and the base are connected for use. Specifically, the existing embodiments usually use sensors to detect whether the body is placed on the base, and such sensors belong to contact detection. Therefore, the sensor needs to be set on the body, so it is necessary to open an opening structure on the body facing the base or capable of detecting the base, so as to set the sensor in the opening structure, thereby realizing the recognition of the base and determining whether the body is placed on the base. In the existing detection method, it is necessary to open an opening structure on the body and install the sensor, so the assembly process of the product is complicated and the production efficiency is low. In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present application determines the connection relationship between the base and the body by detecting the state of the first pumping device set on the base. In this embodiment, there are many ways to detect the state of the first pumping device, which is no longer limited by the installation position of the sensor. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application can achieve the same effect as the existing embodiment, that is, to detect whether the body is placed on the base, without the need to open an opening structure separately, so the complexity of the assembly process of the clothing treatment device is effectively reduced and the production efficiency is improved.

[0087] Normally, when the body is connected to the base, the first pumping device is in a powered-on state. When the first pumping device is in a powered-on state, the operation state of the first pumping device is controllable, and it can be understood that its state is controllable, such as the first pumping device can be turned from on to off, or from off to on. When the body is separated from the base, the first pumping device is in a non-powered state, and the operation state of the first pumping device is uncontrollable, that is, the first pumping device cannot be turned from on to off, or from off to on.

[0088] When the first pumping device is in the power-on state, current will flow through some devices or nodes on the first pumping device, or there will be a voltage difference at some circuit terminals on the first pumping device, while when the first pumping device is in the non-power-on state, no current will flow through or there will be no voltage difference at some circuit terminals on the first pumping device. Therefore, whether the first pumping device is in the power-on state is determined by detecting the zero-crossing signal and current signal of the first pumping device, and then the connection state between the main body and the seat body can be determined by the detection result of the set first detection device.

[0089] In this process, the zero-crossing signal and the current signal are data signals. Therefore, there is no need to set an opening structure on the main body, nor is there a need to set up a separate sensor for detection. This effectively reduces the complexity of the assembly process of the clothing processing device and improves production efficiency.

[0090] Embodiment 3

[0091] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the present invention provides a detection method for a clothes processing device, comprising:

[0092] Step 302, receiving a pump body conduction signal, and determining that the first pumping device is in a power-on state;

[0093] Step 304: based on the first pumping device being in a powered-on state, determine that the main body is connected to the seat.

[0094] An embodiment of the present invention provides a detection method, which is applicable to a clothing treatment device, wherein the clothing treatment device includes a base provided with a first pumping device and a body including a liquid container, and the first pumping device can deliver liquid to the liquid container to achieve liquid replenishment in the liquid container. Specifically, the base and the body are detachably connected, and when the base and the body are in a separated state, the first pumping device cannot pump the liquid to the liquid container, and when the body is installed on the base, that is, when the base and the body are in a non-separated state, the first pumping device can pump the liquid to the liquid container.

[0095] Specifically, the proposed detection method for a clothing treatment device can detect whether the body and the base are connected for use. Specifically, the existing embodiments usually use sensors to detect whether the body is placed on the base, and such sensors belong to contact detection. Therefore, the sensor needs to be set on the body, so it is necessary to open an opening structure on the body facing the base or capable of detecting the base, so as to set the sensor in the opening structure, thereby realizing the recognition of the base and determining whether the body is placed on the base. In the existing detection method, it is necessary to open an opening structure on the body and install the sensor, so the assembly process of the product is complicated and the production efficiency is low. In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present application determines the connection relationship between the base and the body by detecting the state of the first pumping device set on the base. In this embodiment, there are many ways to detect the state of the first pumping device, which is no longer limited by the installation position of the sensor. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application can achieve the same effect as the existing embodiment, that is, to detect whether the body is placed on the base, without the need to open an opening structure separately, so the complexity of the assembly process of the clothing treatment device is effectively reduced and the production efficiency is improved.

[0096] In this embodiment, the function of the first pumping device is to transport liquid to the liquid container so as to replenish the liquid in the liquid container. The first pumping device can only achieve the above-mentioned function when it is in a powered-on state. The first pumping device will inevitably receive a control signal, such as a pump body conduction signal, in the process of transporting liquid to the liquid container. Therefore, the state of the first pumping device can be determined based on whether the pump body conduction signal is received, and then based on the fact that the first pumping device is in a powered-on state, it can be determined that the main body is connected to the seat.

[0097] In this process, the connection between the main body and the seat can be determined by whether the first pumping device is powered on, and whether the first pumping device is powered on can be determined based on whether a pump conduction signal is received, and the second detection device is configured to detect the pump conduction signal of the first pumping device, and indirectly detect the connection between the main body and the seat by detecting whether the pump conduction signal is received. In the above process, the judgment condition is transformed and replaced by a relatively simple or easy technical means. Therefore, there is no need to set an opening structure on the main body, nor is there a need to set a separate sensor for detection, thereby effectively reducing the complexity of the assembly process of the clothing processing device and improving production efficiency.

[0098] Embodiment 4

[0099] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the present invention provides a detection method for a clothes processing device, comprising:

[0100] Step 402, receiving a power supply connection signal, and determining that the first pumping device is in a power-on state;

[0101] Step 404: based on the first pumping device being in a powered-on state, determine that the main body is connected to the seat.

[0102] An embodiment of the present invention provides a detection method, which is applicable to a clothing treatment device, wherein the clothing treatment device includes a base provided with a first pumping device and a body including a liquid container, and the first pumping device can deliver liquid to the liquid container to achieve liquid replenishment in the liquid container. Specifically, the base and the body are detachably connected, and when the base and the body are in a separated state, the first pumping device cannot pump the liquid to the liquid container, and when the body is installed on the base, that is, when the base and the body are in a non-separated state, the first pumping device can pump the liquid to the liquid container.

[0103] Specifically, the proposed detection method for a clothing treatment device can detect whether the body and the base are connected for use. Specifically, the existing embodiments usually use sensors to detect whether the body is placed on the base, and such sensors belong to contact detection. Therefore, the sensor needs to be set on the body, so it is necessary to open an opening structure on the body facing the base or capable of detecting the base, so as to set the sensor in the opening structure, thereby realizing the recognition of the base and determining whether the body is placed on the base. In the existing detection method, it is necessary to open an opening structure on the body and install the sensor, so the assembly process of the product is complicated and the production efficiency is low. In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present application determines the connection relationship between the base and the body by detecting the state of the first pumping device set on the base. In this embodiment, there are many ways to detect the state of the first pumping device, which is no longer limited by the installation position of the sensor. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application can achieve the same effect as the existing embodiment, that is, to detect whether the body is placed on the base, without the need to open an opening structure separately, so the complexity of the assembly process of the clothing treatment device is effectively reduced and the production efficiency is improved.

[0104] In this embodiment, when the main body is installed on the base, it will be connected to the base using the interface provided on the main body, and the third detection device can detect the power access status of the interface. Therefore, the power access status can be used to characterize the state of the first pumping device. After determining the state of the first pumping device, the connection between the main body and the base is determined according to the state of the first pumping device.

[0105] During this process, the third detection device can be integrated on the interface. Normally, the clothing processing device may be used in a humid environment, such as a laundry room. In such an environment, condensation is likely to form on the interface. Therefore, the interface is formed on the surface of the main body, and the part with the power supply contacts is recessed in the main body to reduce the risk of condensation on the power supply contacts and leakage contacts.

[0106] In the embodiments of the present application, a similar design can be adopted to set the third detection device at a position close to the power supply contact, that is, recessed in the surface of the main body, so as to reduce condensation on the third detection device, causing abnormal detection results and affecting the judgment result of the connection between the main body and the seat.

[0107] In this embodiment, the third detection device can be a physical card-connecting structure. When the third detection device is a physical card-connecting structure, the power access signal can be generated when the physical card-connecting structure is buckled; the third detection device can also be a proximity sensor. When it is detected that the plug on the base is inserted into the interface, the proximity sensor generates a power access signal; the third detection device can also be an optical transceiver sensor, wherein the optical transceiver sensor emits detection light. When the base is connected to the main body through the interface, the plug connector on the base will be inserted into the interface, and the detection light will be irradiated on the plug connector and reflected on the surface of the plug connector, and finally received by the optical transceiver sensor. When the base is separated from the main body, the emitted detection light cannot be detected. Therefore, the power access signal can be obtained by judging whether the reflected detection light can be received. In the embodiment of the optical transceiver sensor, compared with other embodiments, the optical transceiver sensor itself does not need to contact the plug connector, thereby effectively reducing the probability of damage to the optical transceiver sensor.

[0108] In the above embodiment, the third detection device can be integrated in the interface so that they are integrated together, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the clothing processing device and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0109] Embodiment 5

[0110] In any of the above embodiments of the present invention, the main body also includes: a power supply detection device, which is configured to detect a power supply signal; the detection method also includes: based on receiving a power supply signal and the first pumping device is not in a powered-on state, determining that the main body is connected to the power cord of the clothing processing device; based on not receiving a power supply signal and the first pumping device is not in a powered-on state, determining that the main body is not connected to the power cord and the base.

[0111] The use status of the main body includes independent use, coordinated use connected to the base, and coordinated use in a way that can be directly connected to the power cord of the clothing processing device. In the above embodiment, the state of the first pumping device can be detected to identify whether the main body is connected to the base, but there is no way to distinguish whether the main body is currently in independent use or connected to the power cord. In order to solve the above problem, a power detection device is set in the main body. Since the power detection device can detect the power supply signal, the two parameters of the power supply signal and the state of the first pumping device can be used to determine the current use status of the main body. Specifically, it has been recorded above that when the first pumping device is in the power-on state, it can be determined that the main body is connected to the base, and when no power supply signal is received, it can be determined that the current main body is in an independent use state. In order to reduce the signal interference that may exist in the process of obtaining the power supply signal, it is further limited that only when the power supply signal is not received and the first pumping device is not in the power-on state, the main body is determined to be in an independent use state, that is, the main body is not connected to the power cord and is not connected to the base.

[0112] Furthermore, since there is no first pumping device in the power cord, when the main body is powered by the power cord, the first pumping device is in an unpowered state, and the zero-crossing signal, current signal and pump body conduction signal in the above embodiment cannot be detected. Therefore, receiving the power supply signal and the first pumping device being in an unpowered state are used as the judgment conditions for the connection between the main body and the power cord.

[0113] In the above process, whether the main body is used independently or connected to the power cord can be determined according to the power-on status of the first pumping device and whether the power supply signal is received. In this judgment process, the parameters obtained are relatively few, which is convenient for reducing the hardware requirements of the clothing processing device and reducing the risk of errors.

[0114] Embodiment 6

[0115] In any of the above embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the detection method also includes:

[0116] Step 502, obtaining the liquid storage volume of the liquid container;

[0117] Step 504, based on the liquid storage amount of the main body being greater than or equal to a preset liquid storage threshold, controlling the first pumping device to stop operating;

[0118] Step 506: Based on the liquid storage amount of the main body being less than a preset liquid storage threshold, control the first pumping device to operate.

[0119] In this embodiment, the base is provided with a first pumping device, and the first pumping device can replenish liquid to the liquid container. Therefore, the liquid storage amount of the liquid container is obtained, and whether to replenish liquid is determined according to the liquid storage amount. Specifically, in order to ensure that the liquid container is always maintained within a dynamic range, a liquid storage threshold can be pre-set, so as to determine whether to replenish liquid according to the comparison result between the liquid storage amount of the liquid container and the liquid storage threshold. In this process, since the operation or stop of the first pumping device is determined based on the liquid storage amount, no user intervention is required, thereby improving the intelligence of the clothing processing device.

[0120] In addition, the present application defines that the main body of the clothing treatment device has three usage modes, namely, independent use, use in conjunction with the base, and use in conjunction with a power cord. Therefore, by using the first pumping device to automatically replenish the liquid in the liquid container, it can be ensured that the main body can maintain a longer usage time in both independent use and use in conjunction with a power cord, and reduce the occurrence of problems such as the main body being too short in usage time due to too little liquid in the liquid container. Through the above embodiments, the reliability of the use of the clothing treatment device is improved.

[0121] Furthermore, the pre-set liquid storage threshold may be set by the manufacturer of the clothing processing device or may be set independently by the user. Generally, the value set by the manufacturer will give an optimal usage time, which has the effect of guiding the user as to the usage time, while the value set independently by the user can meet personalized needs.

[0122] Embodiment 7

[0123] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, a detection device 600 for a clothing processing device is provided, comprising: a memory 602, on which a computer program is stored; and a controller 604, which executes the computer program to implement the steps of any of the above-mentioned detection methods for a clothing processing device.

[0124] An embodiment of the present invention proposes a detection device 600 for a clothing processing device, wherein the detection device 600 for a clothing processing device includes a memory 602 and a controller 604, and the controller 604 executes a computer program to implement the steps of the detection method for a clothing processing device as described in any one of the first aspects. Therefore, the detection device 600 for a clothing processing device has all the beneficial technical effects of any one of the above-mentioned detection methods for a clothing processing device, which will not be repeated here.

[0125] Embodiment 8

[0126] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, as shown, the present invention provides a clothing processing device, including a main body 700, the main body 700 includes: a liquid container 702, the main body 700 is detachably connected to the base of the clothing processing device, the base includes a first pumping device, the first pumping device is used to pump liquid into the liquid container 702; a control device 704, the control device 704 is configured to: detect the state of the first pumping device; and determine the connection state of the main body 700 and the base according to the state of the first pumping device.

[0127] In an embodiment of the present invention, a clothes treating device is provided, including a body 700, that is, a body 700 is provided, and the body 700 is a component of the clothes treating device. From the perspective of the clothes treating device, the clothes treating device includes a base provided with a first pumping device and a body 700 including a liquid container 702. The first pumping device can deliver liquid to the liquid container 702 to achieve liquid replenishment in the liquid container 702. Specifically, the base and the body 700 are detachably connected. When the base and the body 700 are in a separated state, the first pumping device cannot pump liquid to the liquid container 702. When the body 700 is installed on the base, that is, when the base and the body 700 are in a non-separated state, the first pumping device can pump liquid to the liquid container 702.

[0128] Specifically, when the control device 704 executes the above steps, it can detect whether the main body 700 is connected to the base for use. Specifically, the existing embodiments usually use sensors to detect whether the main body 700 is placed on the base, and such sensors belong to contact detection. Therefore, the sensor needs to be set on the main body 700, so it is necessary to open an opening structure on the main body 700 that faces the base or can detect the base, so as to set the sensor in the opening structure, thereby realizing the recognition of the base and determining whether the main body 700 is placed on the base. In the existing detection method, it is necessary to open an opening structure on the main body 700 and install a sensor, so the assembly process of the product is complicated and the production efficiency is low. In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present application determines the connection relationship between the base and the main body 700 by detecting the state of the first pumping device provided on the base. In this embodiment, there are many ways to detect the state of the first pumping device, which is no longer limited by the installation position of the sensor. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application can achieve the same function as the existing embodiment, that is, detecting whether the main body 700 is placed on the base, without the need to open a separate opening structure, thereby effectively reducing the complexity of the assembly process of the clothing processing device and improving production efficiency.

[0129] In one embodiment, an interface 708 is provided on the body 700, wherein the interface 708 of the body 700 can be connected to the base or to the power line of the clothing processing device. Regardless of whether the interface 708 of the body 700 is connected to the base or to the power line, it is necessary to obtain a power supply signal and transmit the power supply signal to the heating device 706. In order to form a loop, it is necessary to define a connection including a first power supply contact, a second power supply contact and a third power supply contact, wherein the first power supply contact is connected to the first end of the heating device 706, and the second power supply contact is connected to the second end of the heating device 706, so that the heating device 706 is connected in series between the first power supply contact and the second power supply contact, and the third power supply contact is configured to supply power to the first pumping device.

[0130] In one embodiment, the main body 700 also includes: a heating device 706, wherein the heating device 706 can be understood as a device that receives a power supply signal and can generate heat under the action of the power supply signal. Taking the heater in an electric iron as an example, usually, the heating device 706 can be a heating device with a resistance value and an insulating part on the surface of the heating device, wherein the heating device can be a heating wire, and the heat emitted by the heating wire is used to heat the insulating part.

[0131] In one embodiment, the third power supply contact and the first power supply contact are connected via a wire.

[0132] In this embodiment, the third power supply contact can supply power to the first pumping device. It can be understood that the first pumping device arranged on the base needs to be energized by the third power supply contact located at the interface 708 on the main body 700. When the main body 700 is separated from the base, the first pumping device located on the base cannot be powered on. Such a design scheme avoids the false start-up of the first pumping device due to interference from other signals when the main body 700 is separated from the base.

[0133] Specifically, when the clothes processing device is used in a humid environment, the first pumping device will not leak electricity due to the humid environment. By limiting the above content, the user's electricity safety is ensured.

[0134] In addition, the third power supply contact is integrated into the interface 708, so that when the main body 700 and the base are installed and used, the first power supply contact, the second power supply contact and the third power supply contact are connected together, which is equivalent to a separate plug-in method, reducing the number of plug-ins and improving the user's operating experience.

[0135] In one embodiment, if Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the main body 700 also includes: a switching device, which is arranged on the wire, and the control device 704 is also configured to: obtain the liquid storage amount of the liquid container 702; based on the liquid storage amount of the main body 700 being greater than or equal to a preset liquid storage threshold, control the switch device to close; based on the liquid storage amount of the main body 700 being less than the preset liquid storage threshold, control the switch device to open.

[0136] In this embodiment, the base is provided with a first pumping device, and the first pumping device can replenish liquid to the liquid container 702. Therefore, the liquid storage amount of the liquid container 702 is obtained, and whether to replenish liquid is determined according to the liquid storage amount. Specifically, in order to ensure that the liquid container 702 is always maintained within a dynamic range, a liquid storage threshold can be pre-set, so as to determine whether to replenish liquid according to the comparison result between the liquid storage amount of the liquid container 702 and the liquid storage threshold. In this process, since the operation or stop of the first pumping device is determined based on the liquid storage amount, no user intervention is required, thereby improving the intelligence of the clothing processing device.

[0137] In addition, the present application defines that the main body 700 of the clothing treatment device has three usage modes, namely, independent use, use in conjunction with the base, and use in conjunction with a power cord. Therefore, by using the first pumping device to automatically replenish the liquid in the liquid container 702, it can be ensured that the main body 700 can maintain a longer usage time in both independent use and use in conjunction with a power cord, and reduce the occurrence of problems such as the main body 700 being too short in usage time due to too little liquid in the liquid container 702. Through the above embodiment, the reliability of the use of the clothing treatment device is improved.

[0138] Furthermore, the pre-set liquid storage threshold may be set by the manufacturer of the clothing processing device or may be set independently by the user. Generally, the value set by the manufacturer will give an optimal usage time, which has the effect of guiding the user as to the usage time, while the value set independently by the user can meet personalized needs.

[0139] Furthermore, by limiting the setting of the switch device on the wire, the control part for opening and closing the first pumping device is set on the main body 700, and there is no need to set the switch device on the base, which facilitates the integration of the control part of the clothing processing device on the main body 700, which is equivalent to setting the switch device on the base. The integrated control scheme is more stable than the distributed control scheme, and the operation of the clothing processing device is more reliable.

[0140] In addition, since the control device 704 is set on the main body 700, if the switch device is set on the base, it is necessary to add additional wires between the main body 700 and the base to transmit the action signal generated by the control device 704 to the switch device located on the base. The difficulty of wiring will also increase, which will undoubtedly cause an increase in manufacturing costs and is not conducive to reducing the cost of the clothing processing device.

[0141] In one embodiment, if Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the body 700 further includes: a second pumping device 712 , and the second pumping device 712 is configured to pump the liquid in the liquid container 702 to the heat generating device 706 .

[0142] In this embodiment, a second pumping device 712 is provided to supply liquid to the heating device 706. Since the second pumping device 712 can be controlled, the operating parameters of the second pumping device 712 can be reasonably controlled according to the user's usage needs to ensure that the amount of liquid pumped to the heating device 706 meets the user's usage needs.

[0143] In one embodiment, the second pumping device 712 has different operating gears. Under different operating gears, the amount of liquid output to the heating device 706 is different, wherein the operating gear and the amount of liquid output to the heating device 706 have a one-to-one correspondence, and the user can adjust the operating gear of the second pumping device 712 according to actual needs.

[0144] In addition, compared with the liquid supply method of directly placing the heating device 706 in the liquid container 702, the heating device 706 will not be rapidly cooled due to excessive amount of liquid to be heated, thereby causing a large amount of steam to appear in the main body 700 in an instant. Through the above embodiment, it is ensured that the heating device 706 can output stably to meet the user's demand for the use time of the main body 700.

[0145] Embodiment 9

[0146] In one embodiment of the present invention, it is specifically defined how to determine the connection between the main body 700 and the seat body according to the state of the first pumping device, specifically, as follows: Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the main body 700 also includes: a first detection device 714 (see the label of the detection device 714) for detecting the zero-crossing signal and the current signal of the first pumping device, wherein the control device 704 is used to receive the zero-crossing signal or the current signal to determine that the first pumping device is in a power-on state; based on the first pumping device being in a power-on state, determine that the main body 700 is connected to the seat.

[0147] Normally, when the body 700 is connected to the base, the first pumping device is in a powered-on state. When the first pumping device is in a powered-on state, the operation state of the first pumping device is controllable, and it can be understood that its state is controllable, such as the first pumping device can be turned from on to off, or from off to on. When the body 700 is separated from the base, the first pumping device is in a non-powered state, and the operation state of the first pumping device is uncontrollable, that is, the first pumping device cannot be turned from on to off, or from off to on.

[0148] When the first pumping device is in the power-on state, current will flow through some devices or nodes on the first pumping device, or there will be a voltage difference at some circuit terminals on the first pumping device, while when the first pumping device is in the non-power-on state, no current will flow through or there will be no voltage difference at some circuit terminals on the first pumping device. Therefore, whether the first pumping device is in the power-on state is determined by detecting the zero-crossing signal and current signal of the first pumping device, and then the connection state of the main body 700 and the seat body can be determined by the detection result of the set first detection device 714.

[0149] In this process, the zero-crossing signal and the current signal are data signals. Therefore, there is no need to set an opening structure on the main body 700, nor is there a need to set up a separate sensor for detection. This effectively reduces the complexity of the assembly process of the clothing processing device and improves production efficiency.

[0150] Embodiment 10

[0151] In one embodiment of the present invention, it is specifically defined how to determine the connection between the main body 700 and the seat body according to the state of the first pumping device, specifically, as follows: Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the main body 700 also includes: a second detection device 714 (see the label of the detection device 714) for detecting the pump body conduction signal, wherein the control device 704 is used to receive the pump body conduction signal and determine that the first pumping device is in a power-on state; based on the first pumping device being in a power-on state, it is determined that the main body 700 is connected to the seat.

[0152] In this embodiment, the function of the first pumping device is to transport liquid to the liquid container 702 so as to replenish the liquid in the liquid container 702. The first pumping device can only achieve the above-mentioned function when it is in a powered-on state. The first pumping device will inevitably receive a control signal, such as a pump body conduction signal, in the process of transporting liquid to the liquid container 702. Therefore, the state of the first pumping device can be determined based on whether the pump body conduction signal is received, and then based on the fact that the first pumping device is in a powered-on state, it is determined that the main body 700 is connected to the seat.

[0153] During this process, the connection between the main body 700 and the seat can be determined by whether the first pumping device is powered on, and whether the first pumping device is powered on can be determined based on whether a pump conduction signal is received. The connection between the main body 700 and the seat can be indirectly detected by detecting whether the pump conduction signal is received. In the above process, the judgment conditions are transformed and replaced by relatively simple or easy technical means. Therefore, there is no need to set an opening structure on the main body 700, nor is there a need to set a separate sensor for detection. Therefore, the complexity of the assembly process of the clothing processing device is effectively reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.

[0154] Embodiment 11

[0155] In one embodiment of the present invention, it is specifically defined how to determine the connection between the main body 700 and the seat body according to the state of the first pumping device, specifically, as follows: Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the main body 700 also includes: a third detection device 714 (see the label of the detection device 714) for detecting the power access status of the detection interface 708, wherein the control device 704 is used to receive a power access signal to determine that the first pumping device is in a power-on state; based on the first pumping device being in a power-on state, determine that the main body 700 is connected to the seat.

[0156] In this embodiment, when the main body 700 is installed on the base, it will be connected to the base using the interface 708 provided on the main body 700, and the third detection device 714 can detect the power connection status of the interface 708. Therefore, the power connection status can be used to characterize the state of the first pumping device. After determining the state of the first pumping device, the connection between the main body 700 and the base is determined based on the state of the first pumping device.

[0157] During this process, the third detection device 714 can be integrated on the interface 708. Normally, the usage scenario of the clothing processing device may be a humid environment, such as a laundry room. In such an environment, condensation is likely to form on the interface 708. Therefore, the interface 708 is formed on the surface of the main body 700, and the part with the power supply contacts is recessed in the main body 700 to reduce the risk of condensation on the power supply contacts and causing leakage contacts.

[0158] In the embodiment of the present application, a similar design can be adopted to set the third detection device 714 at a position close to the power supply contact, that is, recessed in the surface of the main body 700, so as to reduce condensation on the third detection device 714, causing abnormal detection results and affecting the judgment result of the connection between the main body 700 and the seat.

[0159] In this embodiment, the third detection device 714 can be a physical card-connecting structure. When the third detection device 714 is a physical card-connecting structure, the power access signal can be generated when the physical card-connecting structure is buckled; the third detection device 714 can also be a proximity sensor. When it is detected that the plug on the base is inserted into the interface 708, the proximity sensor generates a power access signal; the third detection device 714 can also be an optical transceiver sensor, wherein the optical transceiver sensor emits a detection light. When the base is connected to the body 700 through the interface 708, the plug connector on the base will be inserted into the interface 708, and the detection light will be irradiated on the plug connector and reflected on the surface of the plug connector, and finally received by the optical transceiver sensor. When the base is separated from the body 700, the emitted detection light cannot be detected. Therefore, the power access signal can be obtained by judging whether the reflected detection light can be received. In the embodiment using the optical transceiver sensor, compared with other embodiments, the optical transceiver sensor itself does not need to contact the plug connector, thereby effectively reducing the probability of damage to the optical transceiver sensor.

[0160] In the above embodiment, the third detection device 714 can be integrated in the interface 708 so that they are integrated together, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the clothing processing device and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0161] Embodiment 12

[0162] In any of the above embodiments, if Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the main body 700 also includes: a power detection device 716, a first end of the power detection device 716 is connected to the first power supply contact, a second end of the power detection device 716 is connected to the second power supply contact, and the power detection device 716 is configured to detect a power supply signal; the control device 704 is specifically configured to: based on receiving a power supply signal and the first pumping device is not in a power-on state, determine that the main body 700 is connected to the power cord of the clothing processing device; based on not receiving a power supply signal and the first pumping device is not in a power-on state, determine that the main body 700 is not connected to the power cord and the base.

[0163] The usage states of the main body 700 include independent use, use in conjunction with a base, and use in conjunction with a method of being directly connected to a power cord of a clothing processing device. In the above embodiment, whether the main body 700 is connected to the base can be identified by detecting the state of the first pumping device. However, there is no way to distinguish whether the main body 700 is currently in independent use or in conjunction with a power cord. In order to solve the above problems, a power supply detection device 716 is set in the main body 700. Since the power supply detection device 716 can detect the power supply signal, the two parameters of the power supply signal and the state of the first pumping device can be used to determine the current use state of the main body 700. Specifically, it has been recorded above that when the first pumping device is in the power-on state, it can be determined that the main body 700 is connected to the base, and when no power supply signal is received, it can be determined that the current main body 700 is in an independent use state. In order to reduce the signal interference that may exist in the process of obtaining the power supply signal, it is further limited that the main body 700 is determined to be in an independent use state only when no power supply signal is received and the first pumping device is not in the power-on state, that is, the main body 700 is not connected to the power cord and the base.

[0164] Furthermore, since there is no first pumping device in the power cord, when the main body 700 is powered by the power cord, the first pumping device is in an unpowered state, and the zero-crossing signal, current signal and pump body conduction signal in the above embodiment cannot be detected. Therefore, receiving the power supply signal and the first pumping device being in an unpowered state are used as the judgment conditions for whether the main body 700 is connected to the power cord.

[0165] In the above process, whether the main body 700 is used independently or connected to the power cord can be determined according to the power-on status of the first pumping device and whether the power supply signal is received. In this judgment process, the parameters obtained are relatively few, which is convenient for reducing the hardware requirements of the clothing processing device and reducing the risk of errors.

[0166] In any of the above embodiments, the clothes treating apparatus may be an electric iron, wherein the body 700 is a cordless iron part of the electric iron.

[0167] In one embodiment, if Figure 8 As shown, the main body 700 also includes an energy storage device, wherein the energy storage device is used to supply power to the control device 704 .

[0168] In this embodiment, the body 700 is provided with an energy storage device, so that the second pumping device 712 can be controlled, and the switch device can be controlled.

[0169] Embodiment 13

[0170] In one embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 9 As shown, a clothes treating device 800 is provided, comprising: a base 802; and the body 700 of the clothes treating device in the third aspect. The base 802 is provided with a first pumping device.

[0171] An embodiment of the present invention proposes a clothing processing device 800, wherein a detection device of the clothing processing device 800 includes a base 802 and a main body, wherein the main body is consistent with the main body 700 of the clothing processing device in the third aspect, and therefore, the clothing processing device 800 has all the beneficial technical effects of any of the above-mentioned main bodies 700 for clothing processing devices.

[0172] Specifically, the laundry processing device 800 includes a base provided with a first pumping device and a body including a liquid container, and the first pumping device can deliver liquid to the liquid container to replenish the liquid in the liquid container. Specifically, the base and the body are detachably connected, and when the base and the body are in a separated state, the first pumping device cannot pump the liquid to the liquid container, and when the body is installed on the base, that is, when the base and the body are in a non-separated state, the first pumping device can pump the liquid to the liquid container.

[0173] Specifically, the proposed detection method for a clothing treatment device can detect whether the body and the base are connected for use. Specifically, the existing embodiments usually use sensors to detect whether the body is placed on the base, and such sensors belong to contact detection. Therefore, the sensor needs to be set on the body, so it is necessary to open an opening structure on the body facing the base or capable of detecting the base, so as to set the sensor in the opening structure, thereby realizing the recognition of the base and determining whether the body is placed on the base. In the existing detection method, it is necessary to open an opening structure on the body and install the sensor, so the assembly process of the product is complicated and the production efficiency is low. In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present application determines the connection relationship between the base and the body by detecting the state of the first pumping device set on the base. In this embodiment, there are many ways to detect the state of the first pumping device, which is no longer limited by the installation position of the sensor. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application can achieve the same effect as the existing embodiment, that is, to detect whether the body is placed on the base, without the need to open an opening structure separately, so the complexity of the assembly process of the clothing treatment device is effectively reduced and the production efficiency is improved.

[0174] For example, the main body 700 is provided with an interface 708, wherein the interface 708 of the main body 700 can be connected to the base or to the power line of the clothing processing device. Regardless of whether the interface 708 of the main body 700 is connected to the base or to the power line, it is necessary to obtain a power supply signal and transmit the power supply signal to the heating device 706. In order to form a loop, it is necessary to define a connection including a first power supply contact, a second power supply contact and a third power supply contact, wherein the first power supply contact is connected to the first end of the heating device 706, and the second power supply contact is connected to the second end of the heating device 706, so that the heating device 706 is connected in series between the first power supply contact and the second power supply contact, and the third power supply contact is configured to supply power to the first pumping device.

[0175] In one embodiment, the main body 700 also includes: a heating device 706, wherein the heating device 706 can be understood as a device that receives a power supply signal and can generate heat under the action of the power supply signal. Taking the heater in an electric iron as an example, usually, the heating device 706 can be a heating device with a resistance value and an insulating part on the surface of the heating device, wherein the heating device can be a heating wire, and the heat emitted by the heating wire is used to heat the insulating part.

[0176] In one embodiment, the third power supply contact and the first power supply contact are connected via a wire.

[0177] In this embodiment, the third power supply contact can supply power to the first pumping device. It can be understood that the first pumping device arranged on the base needs to be energized by the third power supply contact located at the interface 708 on the main body 700. When the main body 700 is separated from the base, the first pumping device located on the base cannot be powered on. Such a design scheme avoids the false start-up of the first pumping device due to interference from other signals when the main body 700 is separated from the base.

[0178] Specifically, when the clothes processing device is used in a humid environment, the first pumping device will not leak electricity due to the humid environment. By limiting the above content, the user's electricity safety is ensured.

[0179] In addition, the third power supply contact is integrated into the interface 708, so that when the main body 700 and the base are installed and used, the first power supply contact, the second power supply contact and the third power supply contact are connected together, which is equivalent to a separate plug-in method, reducing the number of plug-ins and improving the user's operating experience.

[0180] In one embodiment, if Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the main body 700 also includes: a switching device, which is arranged on the wire, and the control device 704 is also configured to: obtain the liquid storage amount of the liquid container 702; based on the liquid storage amount of the main body 700 being greater than or equal to a preset liquid storage threshold, control the switch device to close; based on the liquid storage amount of the main body 700 being less than the preset liquid storage threshold, control the switch device to open.

[0181] In this embodiment, the base is provided with a first pumping device, and the first pumping device can replenish liquid to the liquid container 702. Therefore, the liquid storage amount of the liquid container 702 is obtained, and whether to replenish liquid is determined according to the liquid storage amount. Specifically, in order to ensure that the liquid container 702 is always maintained within a dynamic range, a liquid storage threshold can be pre-set, so as to determine whether to replenish liquid according to the comparison result between the liquid storage amount of the liquid container 702 and the liquid storage threshold. In this process, since the operation or stop of the first pumping device is determined based on the liquid storage amount, no user intervention is required, thereby improving the intelligence of the clothing processing device.

[0182] In addition, the present application defines that the main body 700 of the clothing treatment device has three usage modes, namely, independent use, use in conjunction with the base, and use in conjunction with a power cord. Therefore, by using the first pumping device to automatically replenish the liquid in the liquid container 702, it can be ensured that the main body 700 can maintain a longer usage time in both independent use and use in conjunction with a power cord, and reduce the occurrence of problems such as the main body 700 being too short in usage time due to too little liquid in the liquid container 702. Through the above embodiment, the reliability of the use of the clothing treatment device is improved.

[0183] Furthermore, the pre-set liquid storage threshold may be set by the manufacturer of the clothing processing device or may be set independently by the user. Generally, the value set by the manufacturer will give an optimal usage time, which has the effect of guiding the user as to the usage time, while the value set independently by the user can meet personalized needs.

[0184] Furthermore, by limiting the setting of the switch device on the wire, the control part for opening and closing the first pumping device is set on the main body 700, and there is no need to set the switch device on the base, which facilitates the integration of the control part of the clothing processing device on the main body 700, which is equivalent to setting the switch device on the base. The integrated control scheme is more stable than the distributed control scheme, and the operation of the clothing processing device is more reliable.

[0185] In addition, since the control device 704 is set on the main body 700, if the switch device is set on the base, it is necessary to add additional wires between the main body 700 and the base to transmit the action signal generated by the control device 704 to the switch device located on the base. The difficulty of wiring will also increase, which will undoubtedly cause an increase in manufacturing costs and is not conducive to reducing the cost of the clothing processing device. Specific embodiments

[0187] The clothes treating device 800 is an electric iron as an example, wherein the main body is the cordless iron part of the electric iron.

[0188] In one embodiment, the clothing processing device 800 further comprises a power cord, wherein the plug connector of the power cord can be connected to the base 802 or to the cordless iron part.

[0189] The following only introduces two usage scenarios of electric irons:

[0190] Scenario 1: The power cord is fixedly connected to the base, and the user lifts the cordless iron part to use it. When the liquid storage volume in the liquid container of the cordless iron part is insufficient or the heat of the heating device is insufficient, the user puts it back into the base for refilling.

[0191] Scenario 2: The power cord is fixedly connected to the cordless iron part, and the user plugs in the power cord and lifts up the cordless iron part to use it directly.

[0192] like Fig.10 As shown in the figure, the control process of the electric iron is introduced in detail:

[0193] Step 1002, determine whether the power supply signal changes. If the determination result is no, the process ends. If the determination result is yes, the process proceeds to step 1004;

[0194] Step 1004, determine whether there is a power supply signal, if the determination result is yes, execute step 1006, if the determination result is no, execute step 1008;

[0195] Step 1006, identifying that the cordless iron is partially connected to a power source;

[0196] Step 1008, identifying that the cordless iron is partially used independently;

[0197] Step 1010, closing the first pumping device;

[0198] Step 1012, determine whether there is a zero-crossing signal, if the determination result is yes, execute step 1014, if the determination result is no, execute step 1016;

[0199] Step 1014, identifying that the cordless iron is partially connected to the base;

[0200] Step 1016, identifying that the cordless iron is partially connected to the power cord for use;

[0201] Step 1018, determining whether the amount of liquid stored in the liquid container is sufficient, if the determination result is yes, the process ends; if the determination result is no, the process proceeds to step 1020;

[0202] Step 1020, start the first pumping device.

[0203] like Fig.11 As shown in the figure, the control process of the electric iron is introduced in detail:

[0204] Step 1102, determining whether the power supply signal has changed, if the determination result is no, the process ends, if the determination result is yes, the process proceeds to step 1104;

[0205] Step 1104, determine whether there is a power supply signal, if the determination result is yes, execute step 1106, if the determination result is no, execute step 1108;

[0206] Step 1106, identifying that the cordless iron is partially connected to a power source;

[0207] Step 1108, identifying that the cordless iron is partially used independently;

[0208] Step 1110, start the first pumping device;

[0209] Step 1112, determine whether there is a zero-crossing signal, if the determination result is yes, execute step 1114, if the determination result is no, execute step 1116;

[0210] Step 1114, identifying that the cordless iron is partially connected to the base;

[0211] Step 1116, identifying that the cordless iron is partially connected to the power cord for use;

[0212] Step 1118, determining whether the amount of liquid stored in the liquid container is sufficient, if the determination result is no, the process ends; if the determination result is yes, the process proceeds to step 1120;

[0213] Step 1120, turn off the first pumping device.

[0214] In the above embodiment, determining whether the power supply signal has changed can be understood as detecting the voltage of the power supply line that supplies power to the first pumping device, and determining that the power supply signal has changed based on the change in the voltage of the power supply line.

[0215] Among them, the change in the voltage of the power supply line can be the plugging and unplugging action of the power cord and the cordless electric iron part, or the plugging and unplugging action of the base and the cordless electric iron part. After the plugging and unplugging action is detected, there may be a situation where there is no power supply. The step of judging whether there is a power supply signal is used to determine whether there is a power supply signal, so as to reduce the frequency of judging whether there is a power supply signal, thereby reducing the hardware requirements of the electric iron.
