[0044] 4) "Corresponding" can mean an association or binding relationship. A and B corresponding to each other means that A and B have an association or binding relationship.

[0045] The application scenarios of the embodiments of the present application are explained as follows:

[0046] Figure 1 An application scenario diagram of the washing machine control method provided by the embodiments of the present application is provided. The washing machine control method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied to an intelligent washing machine, or can be applied to a cloud server in communication connection with the intelligent washing machine, Figure 1The application scenario of the method provided by the embodiment is introduced by taking a smart washing machine as an execution subject, for reference Figure 1 After the user starts the smart washing machine and opens the function option of the "smart weather plan", the smart washing machine obtains the local weather forecast information through the meteorological server, formulates a washing plan matched with the weather forecast information, and starts the washing operation according to the washing plan, so as to ensure that the clothes can be dried in the allowed weather condition when the washing operation is completed, and avoid the problem that the clothes cannot be dried due to the weather after being washed.

[0047] In the prior art, the function of automatically planning and washing clothes by the smart washing machine is usually automatically controlled based on the use habit of the user or the washing effect of the clothes, so as to realize the purpose of facilitating the use of the user or improving the washing effect of the clothes in the washing machine. However, the drying effect of the clothes after washing will also directly affect the wearing comfort of the clothes after washing. Since the drying of the clothes after washing has a certain timeliness, the existing smart washing machine does not consider the drying problem of the clothes, and does not formulate a washing operation plan based on the drying problem after the washing operation. Therefore, when the clothes are washed by the washing machine, if the drying condition is not good, for example, in rainy weather, or in dusty and windy weather, the clothes will be wet for a long time, have an odor, or be re-contaminated, etc., which greatly reduces the washing effect of the clothes and affects the wearing comfort of the clothes. In order to solve the above problems caused by the poor drying effect of the clothes after the washing operation of the existing washing machine, the embodiment of the present application provides a new washing machine control method, device and electronic equipment to solve the above problems.

[0048] The technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions of the present application solve the above technical problems will be described in detail in the following specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] Figure 2 The flowchart of the washing machine control method provided by an embodiment of the present application is applied to a smart washing machine, as shown in Figure 2 The washing machine control method provided by the embodiment includes the following steps:

[0050] Step S101, obtaining first environment information, the first environment information being used to represent the weather condition within a current first preset time length.

[0051] Exemplarily, the first environment information is data information representing a weather state in a future period of time, for example, weather forecast information. The first environment information can be weather forecast information of a region where the intelligent washing machine is located, and the region can include different geographical ranges such as a province, a city, a district, and a town where the intelligent washing machine is located, which is not limited here.

[0052] There are various ways to obtain the first environment information. For example, target position information is obtained, the target position information representing a position where the intelligent washing machine is located; a weather forecast information in a preset time period is obtained by accessing a meteorological server according to the target position information, the weather forecast information being prediction information of a weather state corresponding to the position information; and the first environment information is obtained according to the weather forecast information in the preset time period. The preset time period can be set as required, for example, one day, three days, one week, and the like, which is not exemplified one by one here. For another example, the way to obtain the first environment information can further include receiving weather forecast information sent by a terminal device, the terminal device being a smart phone, a smart speaker, a smart wardrobe, and the like.

[0053] In step S102, the target drying interval is determined according to the first environment information, wherein the target drying interval represents a time interval suitable for drying clothes.

[0054] According to the first environment information, the weather state of the region where the intelligent washing machine is located in a future period of time can be determined. For example, the weather state represented by the first environment information is that it will rain from 8:00 to 12:00 and it will be sunny from 12:00 to 18:00 in the next day. The clothes are suitable for drying when it is sunny, but not suitable for drying when it rains. Therefore, the time interval suitable for drying clothes is determined to be 12:00-18:00, that is, the target drying interval. In order to meet the requirement of suitable clothes drying, the duration of the target drying interval is limited, for example, greater than 3 hours, to ensure that the clothes can be dried.

[0055] Further, in a possible implementation, in the preset time period corresponding to the first environment information, there can be one or more time intervals suitable for drying clothes, that is, alternative drying intervals. For example, the weather state represented by the first environment information is that it will be sunny from 8:00 to 10:00, it will rain from 10:00 to 14:00, and it will be sunny from 14:00 to 18:00 in the next day. The first time interval suitable for drying clothes is from 8:00 to 10:00, and the second time interval suitable for drying clothes is from 14:00 to 18:00. In order to further improve the drying effect and the drying time of the clothes, the optimal time interval can be selected from the multiple alternative drying intervals suitable for drying clothes as the target drying interval. There are various methods to determine the optimal drying interval, for example, according to the duration of the drying interval, or according to the temperature of the drying interval, which is not described one by one here.

[0056] In step S103, the laundry task information is determined according to the target airing interval, and the smart washing machine is controlled to perform the laundry operation according to the laundry task information, so that the end time of the laundry operation is in the start time of the target airing interval.

[0057] For example, after the target airing interval is determined, the step of determining the laundry task information includes: determining a laundry program deadline according to the start point of the target airing interval; determining a laundry program of the laundry operation according to the laundry program deadline and the current time; and determining a start time of the laundry operation according to the duration of the laundry program. Figure 3 A process diagram for controlling the washing machine to perform the laundry operation is provided for the embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 For example, after the target airing interval is determined, the end time of the smart washing machine is determined through the start time corresponding to the target airing interval, so that the end time of the laundry operation of the washing machine is in the start time of the target airing interval, and then the start time of the laundry operation is deduced according to the laundry program time, wherein if there is no time limit for the laundry program, the laundry program can be determined according to the user's usage habit, preset configuration information and other methods; if there is a time limit for the laundry program in order to meet the time requirement of the target airing interval, the laundry program that meets the time requirement is selected. Specifically, for example, a laundry program deadline is determined according to the start point of the target airing interval; a laundry program of the laundry operation is determined according to the laundry program deadline and the current time; and a start time of the laundry operation is determined according to the duration of the laundry program. After the smart washing machine is controlled to perform the laundry operation according to the laundry task information, the user can directly perform the airing when taking out the clothes in the washing machine, which can effectively avoid the poor weather environment such as rain, wind and the like.

[0058] For example, the laundry task information can include laundry program information for indicating the laundry program, and operation time information for indicating the start time of the laundry operation, such as X year X month X day X hour X minute. By determining the accurate laundry operation time and laundry program through the laundry task information, the automatic global optimization management of the laundry operation of the smart washing machine can be realized, and the problem of clothes not being dried after washing can be prevented when encountering long-term extreme bad weather, such as continuous rainy days.

[0059] In this embodiment, by acquiring the first environment information, the first environment information is used to represent the weather condition within the current first preset time length; according to the first environment information, the target drying interval is determined, wherein the target drying interval is used to represent the time interval suitable for clothes drying; according to the target drying interval, the laundry task information is determined; according to the laundry task information, the intelligent washing machine is controlled to perform the laundry operation, so that the end time of the laundry operation is at the starting time of the target drying interval. Since the intelligent washing machine performs the laundry operation according to the laundry task information, the end time of the laundry operation is just in the target drying interval, so that the clothes can be directly dried after being taken out, avoiding the problem that the clothes are wet and have odor due to the weather environment, and improving the cleaning effect and wearing comfort of the clothes.

[0060] Figure 4 The flowchart of the washing machine control method provided by another embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 4 The washing machine control method provided by the embodiment shown in Figure 2 The washing machine control method provided by the embodiment shown in

[0061] Step S201, acquiring first environment information, the first environment information is used to represent the weather condition within the current first preset time length.

[0062] In a possible implementation, after step S201, it includes:

[0063] Step S202A, according to the first environment information, at least one alternative drying interval is acquired, and the alternative drying interval closest to the current time is determined as the target drying interval.

[0064] Exemplarily, Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the first environment information provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 5 The first environment information represents the weather state of multiple time intervals within the first preset time length, including time interval A, time interval B and time interval C. Among them, the time interval that can be used for drying is the alternative drying interval, such as the time interval A corresponding to 8:00-11:00 and the time interval C corresponding to 14:00-18:00 in Figure 5 The alternative drying interval closest to the current time, i.e. the time interval A corresponding to 8:00-11:00, is determined as the target drying interval, which can realize the fastest cleaning and drying of clothes, and is suitable for the demand scenario that the user needs to clean and dry clothes as soon as possible, and improves the efficiency of the intelligent washing machine in clothes cleaning operation.

[0065] In another possible implementation, after step S201, the method further includes:

[0066] Step S202B, determining at least one candidate airing interval within the second preset time length according to the first environment information, obtaining a duration of each candidate airing interval, and determining the target airing interval according to the duration of each candidate airing interval.

[0067] Optionally, in the step, the method further includes: receiving a first execution instruction, the first execution instruction being used to instruct the smart washing machine to perform a washing operation within the second preset time length. Specifically, the first execution instruction is an instruction of a longest acceptable clothes washing duration input by a user to the smart washing machine, for example, three days, wherein the three days are the second preset time length in the step, that is, the user instructs the smart washing machine to wash clothes within three days. According to the second preset time length indicated by the instruction input by the user, one or more candidate airing intervals are determined, for example, the time interval A of 8:00-11:00 and the time interval C of 14:00-18:00 in FIG. 1. Figure 5

[0068] In another possible implementation, after step S201, the method further includes:

[0069] Step S202C, obtaining at least one candidate airing interval according to the first environment information, and determining temperature information corresponding to each candidate airing interval, the temperature information being used to represent an ambient temperature in the candidate airing interval; and determining, according to preset configuration information, a candidate airing interval with a duration greater than a third preset time length and corresponding ambient temperature greater than a preset temperature threshold, as the target airing interval.

[0070] For example, the first environment information further includes temperature information corresponding to each time interval, for example, referring to FIG. 1. Figure 5 ​The average temperature corresponding to the time interval A is 20 degrees Celsius; the average temperature corresponding to the time interval B is 16 degrees Celsius; and the average temperature corresponding to the time interval C is 18 degrees Celsius. According to the configuration information, the selected candidate drying interval meeting the requirements is determined as the target drying interval. The configuration information is data used to determine the third preset time length and the preset temperature threshold, and the configuration information can be set by user history and demand. When the smart washing machine washes different clothes, different configuration information is used, for example, when washing large clothes, the drying time of the clothes is relatively long due to the large volume, and the third preset time length and the preset temperature threshold represented in the configuration information are also relatively high. Conversely, the third preset time length and the preset temperature threshold represented in the configuration information are also relatively low. The specific implementation of the configuration information is not described here.

[0071] Further, it should be noted that the above steps S202A, S202B and S202C can be executed separately after step S201 or jointly executed after step S201. For example, after determining the candidate drying interval with the longest duration through step S202B, if there are multiple candidate drying intervals with the same duration, the candidate drying interval closest to the current time is determined as the target drying interval according to step S202A. Other schemes formed by the combination of S202A, S202B and S202C are not described here.

[0072] Step S203, according to the start time of the washing operation and the washing program of the washing operation, the smart washing machine is controlled to perform the washing operation.

[0073] Step S204, acquiring second environment information, determining an updated drying interval according to the second environment information, if the updated drying interval is inconsistent with the target drying interval, outputting a drying prompt information, the drying prompt information is used to prompt the user to dry the clothes according to the updated drying interval.

[0074] Exemplarily, the second environment information is current environment information, such as wind information and sand information, obtained by accessing a weather server or by a terminal device and the like. Since the weather condition represented by the first environment information is information predicted by weather data, there is a certain deviation probability, and the earlier the distance from the current time, the greater the deviation. Therefore, after the completion of the laundry task, the current weather environment may not be the same as that predicted by the first environment information. In this case, when the smart washing machine receives the first environment information, and the actual weather condition is inconsistent with the prediction of the first environment information due to sudden changes in the weather condition, the latest weather state information is obtained by receiving the second environment information, the target drying interval is updated, that is, the updated drying interval is determined. The updated drying interval is used to send a prompt information to the user, so that the user delays the drying of the clothes, and can accurately grasp the appropriate time for drying the clothes.

[0075] In the step of the embodiment, since the weather condition represented by the first environment information may have a certain deviation, when extreme weather such as strong wind, sandstorm, heavy rain and the like occurs or will occur due to sudden changes in the weather condition after the completion of the laundry task, the drying interval can be corrected by the second environment information, and a prompt information is sent to the user, so as to avoid the serious problems such as damage and secondary pollution of the clothes caused by the sudden extreme weather, and improve the use safety.

[0076] In the embodiment, the implementation manners of the steps S201 and S203 are the same as those of the steps S101 and S103 in the embodiment shown in the application Figure 2 The implementation manners of the steps S201 and S203 in the embodiment are the same as those of the steps S101 and S103 in the embodiment shown in the application
