[0039] To make the technical problems solved, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved by the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0040] It should be noted that the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably in this invention. The term "and / or" mentioned in this invention refers to any and all combinations including one or more of the related listed items. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and drawings of this disclosure are used to distinguish different objects, not to limit a specific order.

[0041] It should also be noted that the various embodiments described below in this invention can be executed individually or in combination with each other, and this invention does not impose any specific limitations on this.

[0042] The names of messages or information exchanged between multiple devices in the embodiments of this disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of such messages or information.

[0043] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0044] Figure 1 This diagram illustrates a flow chart of a method for controlling a washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations where the washing machine shakes off clothes stuck to the inner drum wall after spin-drying. This method can be executed by a device configured in an electronic device to control the washing machine, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method for controlling a washing machine described in this embodiment includes:

[0045] In step S110, the clothes are weighed using the built-in weighing module to determine the current load of the washing machine.

[0046] In step S120, the washing machine is controlled to execute a predetermined shaking program for shaking the clothes off the drum wall.

[0047] The shaking program described in this embodiment can be implemented in various ways. For example, the washing machine can be controlled to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise for a first predetermined duration. Alternatively, it can be controlled to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise alternately for a second predetermined duration. Furthermore, controlling the washing machine to rotate clockwise for a third predetermined duration, then stop for a fourth predetermined duration, and then rotate counterclockwise for a fifth predetermined duration can be considered as a control cycle; the washing machine can be controlled to repeat at least one control cycle.

[0048] The specific rotation speed and rotation duration of each of the above schemes can be determined based on comparative experiments. In principle, the duration should be as short as possible to avoid both long waiting times for users and excessive waste of electrical energy.

[0049] It should be noted that, in principle, the washing machine's spin speed should not be too high, at least lower than the spin speed during the spin cycle. This is because a higher spin speed makes clothes more likely to stick to the inner drum wall. The initial intention of this embodiment stems from the fact that during the final stage of the washing program—the spin cycle—clothes are prone to sticking to the drum wall due to excessively high spin speed. Therefore, for the shake-off program used to remove clothes from the drum wall, the washing machine's spin speed should not be too high. The ideal spin speed for shaking clothes off the drum wall can be determined through multiple comparative experiments.

[0050] In step S130, the actual values ​​of relevant information of the washing machine during the execution of the shaking program are recorded.

[0051] For example, the relevant information may include one or more of the following: eccentricity value, actual rotational speed, and current value.

[0052] In step S140, it is determined whether there are still clothes stuck to the tub wall inside the washing tub based on the current load of the washing machine and the actual value of the relevant information.

[0053] For washing machines of the same model, under the same load, their eccentricity, actual speed, and current should theoretically be the same, while under different loads, their eccentricity, actual speed, and current should theoretically be different.

[0054] In other words, under a certain load, the theoretical values ​​of the washing machine's eccentricity, actual speed, and current can be determined. These data can be obtained by querying based on big data statistics.

[0055] The applicant's analysis revealed that after the washing machine finishes its spin cycle, during the predetermined shaking program, if there are no clothes adhering to the drum wall, the actual values ​​of eccentricity, actual spin speed, and current are not significantly different from their theoretical values ​​corresponding to the load. However, if there are still clothes adhering to the drum wall, the actual values ​​of eccentricity, actual spin speed, and current do not match their theoretical values, exhibiting a significant deviation. Therefore, whether there are still clothes adhering to the drum wall can be determined by whether the theoretical and actual values ​​of the washing machine's eccentricity, actual spin speed, and current match during the shaking program.

[0056] For example, the theoretical values ​​of the relevant information of the washing machine under the current load can be queried. If, during the actual washing process, one or more of the above-mentioned relevant information do not match the theoretical values ​​corresponding to its load and the deviation is large, it can be determined whether there are still clothes stuck to the drum wall inside the washing tub. Otherwise, it can be determined that there are no clothes stuck to the drum wall inside the washing tub.

[0057] In step S150, if it is determined that there are still clothes stuck to the wall of the washing tub, return to step S120; otherwise, end the process.

[0058] According to one or more embodiments of this disclosure, the technical solution of this embodiment can also start timing after detecting that the dehydration is completed; if it is detected that there are still clothes stuck to the tub wall in the washing tub, if the timing is less than a predetermined time threshold, the step of returning to the control of the washing machine to execute the shaking program and the detection step are executed; if the timing is greater than or equal to the predetermined time threshold, the user is prompted that there are clothes stuck to the tub wall and need to be manually handled.

[0059] According to one or more embodiments of this disclosure, the technical solution of this embodiment can further determine whether the current washing program includes a clothes drying operation after detecting whether there are still clothes stuck to the tub wall inside the washing tub. If no clothes are detected stuck to the tub wall inside the washing tub, the washing machine is controlled to perform the clothes drying operation.

[0060] This embodiment determines the current load of the washing machine by controlling the built-in weighing module to weigh the clothes after the spin-drying process; controls the washing machine to execute a predetermined shaking program to shake the clothes off the drum wall; records the actual values ​​of relevant information of the washing machine during the execution of the shaking program, including eccentricity value, actual speed, and / or current value; determines whether there are still clothes sticking to the drum wall in the washing tub based on the current load of the washing machine and the actual values ​​of the relevant information; if it is determined that there are still clothes sticking to the drum wall in the washing tub, the shaking program is repeated and detected until no clothes are detected sticking to the drum wall in the washing tub. This can prevent clothes from sticking to the inner drum wall after washing and prevent clothes from being difficult to dry automatically after washing.
