Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothing processing equipment technology, and in particular to a control method for a clothing processing device and a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] The global water shortage is a serious problem. Saving water not only saves on water bills but also reduces water consumption and waste. As people's living standards improve, more and more people are developing the habit of taking baths. However, after bathing, the water is usually simply drained, which is not conducive to water conservation and recycling. Therefore, the bathwater could be used to wash clothes. Currently, some commercially available washing machines come with a dedicated bath water pump, which requires plugging one end into the washing machine's signal output line and the other end into a power source; this configuration is cumbersome. More importantly, using a bath water pump in this way is inefficient, cumbersome to operate, and has low safety standards.

[0003] Existing technology, patent application number CN201610538151.1, discloses a method for protecting a washing machine from overflow, relating to the field of washing machine technology. The method includes the following steps: A) Setting a water level for overflow protection in the washing machine, which is higher than the normal overflow level; B) Detecting and determining whether the washing machine has reached the overflow protection level; C) Determining whether the continuous time the water level reaches the overflow protection level exceeds a first set time. If so, the washing machine activates an alarm; if not, the determination process continues; D) After the alarm continues for a second set time, the washing machine automatically shuts off. This invention also discloses a fully automatic washing machine using the above-mentioned overflow protection method. This invention effectively prevents continuous water intake or flooding in case of abnormal water inlet valve conditions by setting an overflow protection level; the continuous timing method provides more accurate judgment, improving washing quality and efficiency while reducing resource waste and safety hazards.

[0004] While the aforementioned technical solutions can address the overflow issue during the washing machine's water intake process, few existing technologies incorporate a shower pump for water conservation. Specifically, if the washing machine is manually paused or turned off while the shower pump is supplying water, the water level may exceed the inner drum's capacity, leading to overflow. Furthermore, the washing machine, being paused or turned off, cannot provide warnings or monitor the water level. Therefore, a method is needed to stop the shower pump when it is running, thus preventing overflow.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a control method and a clothing handling device. The clothing handling device using this control method controls the shower water pump to stop working when the washing machine is paused or turned off, realizing automatic control of the shower water pump in abnormal situations, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of water overflow in the washing machine, improving the safety of washing machine operation, and providing a better user experience.

[0007] To achieve this objective, according to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A control method for a clothing handling device, the clothing handling device including a washing machine and a shower water pump connected to the washing machine at the water outlet, the control method including determining whether the shower water pump is in operation when the washing machine stops working, and controlling the shower water pump to stop working if it is.

[0009] Furthermore, during the washing process, if the control module of the clothing handling device determines that the washing machine is in a paused or turned-off state, it further determines whether the shower water pump is in a running state.

[0010] If so, the control module sends a shutdown command to the shower water pump, controlling the shower water pump to perform a pause or shutdown action accordingly.

[0011] If not, the control module controls the shower water pump to maintain its current state.

[0012] Furthermore, if the control module determines that the shower water pump is in a non-operating state, the control module also sends a shutdown command to the shower water pump to control the shower water pump to perform a corresponding pause or shutdown action.

[0013] Furthermore, during the execution of the washing program, after controlling the shower water pump to pause, if it is determined that the washing machine is in a paused state again, the following steps are executed:

[0014] Determine whether the washing machine will restart within a preset time period.

[0015] If so, the control module controls the shower water pump to start.

[0016] If not, the control module controls the shower water pump to remain in a paused state.

[0017] Furthermore, before controlling the shower water pump to perform the start action, the control module determines whether the washing machine has selected the shower water pump function.

[0018] If so, then control the shower water pump to start normally.

[0019] If not, the washing machine will continue to execute the subsequent washing program.

[0020] Furthermore, if the control module determines that the washing machine has selected the shower water pump function, it further determines whether the remaining amount of shower water is less than the amount of water required for this washing program.

[0021] If so, the control module controls the water valve to open, allowing tap water to enter the washing machine for subsequent washing programs;

[0022] If not, the shower water pump will be turned on to supply shower water to the washing machine for the subsequent washing cycle.

[0023] Furthermore, if the washing machine pauses or shuts down multiple times during the washing process, the control module of the clothing handling device repeatedly executes the step of determining whether the shower water pump is running.

[0024] Another object of the present invention is to provide a garment processing apparatus, wherein the garment processing apparatus employs the control method of the garment processing apparatus described above.

[0025] Furthermore, the garment handling device includes the control module disposed on the washing machine, the control module comprising:

[0026] The control unit determines the next steps to be executed based on the status of the washing machine or shower water pump, and issues corresponding control commands.

[0027] The execution unit executes the control commands issued by the control unit.

[0028] Furthermore, the control unit includes a program controller; the execution unit includes an infrared transmitter; and the bath water pump is equipped with an infrared receiver corresponding to the infrared transmitter.

[0029] A third objective of the present invention is to provide a terminal device comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the computer program to implement the steps of a control method for a clothing handling device.

[0030] A fourth objective of the present invention is to provide a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of a control method for a clothing handling device.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0032] 1. The clothing handling device provided by the present invention, by adopting the above-mentioned control method, controls the shower water pump to stop working when the washing machine is paused or turned off, realizing automatic control of the shower water pump in abnormal situations, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of water overflow in the washing machine, improving the safety of washing machine operation, and providing a better user experience.

[0033] 2. In this invention, the control board of the washing machine is integrated with an infrared transmitter, and the water pump is equipped with an infrared receiver. The frequency band for receiving signals is fixed. Based on this, the water pump and the washing machine can communicate and control each other without the need for a signal output line, which improves the convenience of using the water pump.

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0043] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0044] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0045] Since most commercially available shower pumps have built-in infrared receivers and receive signals at fixed frequencies, this application integrates the infrared transmitter into the washing machine control board. Integrating the shower pump into the control board solves the problem of wasted shower pump resources, eliminating the need for a dedicated shower pump for the washing machine. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to run signal cables from the washing machine, significantly improving efficiency and safety. This invention provides a washing machine control method with an infrared transmitter, enabling automatic control of the shower pump in abnormal situations.

[0046] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] A control method for a clothing handling device, the clothing handling device including a washing machine and a shower water pump connected to the washing machine at the water outlet, the control method including determining whether the shower water pump is in operation when the washing machine stops working, and controlling the shower water pump to stop working if it is.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the control method implementation flow of the clothing processing device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The control method may include:

[0050] Step S10: During the washing program, if the control module of the clothing handling device determines that the washing machine is in a paused or turned-off state, then step S20: further determine whether the shower water pump is in a running state.

[0051] It should be understood that when the washing machine is paused or turned off, its built-in battery provides power to the program controller (or control board), which in turn sends signals to the water pump, receives, judges, processes, and issues commands. The program controller (or control board) does not silence the washing machine simply because it is turned off; it continues to operate.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, when further determining whether the shower water pump is in operation, the following possibilities can be considered:

[0053] If the shower water pump is running, then in step S30: the control module sends a shutdown command to the shower water pump, controlling the shower water pump to perform a corresponding pause or shutdown action.

[0054] In washing machines equipped with infrared-controlled shower water pumps, if the pump is manually paused or turned off while it is running, water may overflow due to the water level exceeding the inner tub's capacity. Furthermore, the machine cannot issue a warning when paused or turned off. Therefore, this embodiment describes a method to pause the shower water pump when the washing machine is paused or stopped, effectively solving the overflow problem.

[0055] Of course, if the shower water pump is not in operation, then in step S40: the control module controls the shower water pump to maintain its current state.

[0056] It should be noted that if the control module determines that the shower pump is not in operation, it will still send a shutdown command to the shower pump, controlling it to perform a pause or shutdown action. This is because when the shower pump is not in operation, it cannot be determined whether the shutdown is due to a temporary malfunction or other reasons. Therefore, as a precaution, the control module still sends a shutdown command to ensure that the shower pump is in a paused or shut-down state.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, after reaching step S30 and / or step S40, that is, during the execution of the washing program, after the water pump is paused, if it is determined that the washing machine is in a paused state again, the following steps are executed:

[0058] Step S50: Within a preset time period, determine whether the washing machine will restart.

[0059] It should be understood that the above determination that the washing machine is in a paused state again can be interpreted as the control board or control module detecting that the washing machine is in a paused state again, and then executing step S50.

[0060] The preset time period can be set manually or left as the default factory setting. Specifically, the preset time period can be the shortest washing program in the washing machine's washing program, or it can be the longest washing program; there are no restrictions here.

[0061] If the washing machine restarts within a preset time period, then in step S60: the control module controls the shower water pump to start.

[0062] If the washing machine starts within a preset time period, it indicates that the washing machine may have paused due to a brief pause during the normal washing program. In this case, the control module can control the shower water pump to start, thereby supplying water to the washing machine.

[0063] If the washing machine does not restart within a preset time period, then in step S70: the control module controls the shower water pump to remain in a paused state.

[0064] If the washing machine does not start within the preset time period, it may indicate that the washing program has been paused due to serious damage or other unforeseen problems. In this case, to prevent water from overflowing into the washing tub, the water pump needs to be kept paused.

[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, before executing step S60: the control module controls the shower water pump to perform the start action, step S601 is required: determine whether the washing machine selects the shower water pump function.

[0066] If the shower water pump function needs to be selected, then step S602: control the shower water pump to start normally.

[0067] If the shower pump function is not required, then step S603: Control the washing machine to continue executing the subsequent washing program.

[0068] It should be understood that whether or not the shower pump function is needed can be determined based on the steps of the washing program. If the spin-drying stage has been reached, the shower pump function is not required. Of course, to ensure cleaner clothes, during the rinsing stage of the washing machine's program, you can choose not to use the shower pump water and instead use tap water for rinsing. This action is controlled by the control module, and the specific steps are not detailed here; the implementation method is not limited.

[0069] like Figure 4 As shown, if the control module determines that the washing machine has selected the shower water pump function, it can proceed to step S6021: determine whether the remaining amount of shower water is less than the amount of water required for this washing program.

[0070] If the remaining water volume in the shower is less than the water volume required for this washing program, then in step S6022: the control module controls the tap water valve to open, allowing tap water to enter the washing machine for the subsequent washing program.

[0071] If the remaining water volume in the shower is not less than the water volume required for this washing program, then step S6023: control the shower water pump to turn on and introduce shower water into the washing machine for the subsequent washing program.

[0072] It should be noted that if the washing machine pauses or shuts down multiple times during the washing process, the control module of the clothing handling device can repeatedly execute the step of determining whether the shower water pump is running, thereby ensuring that the washing machine does not overflow.

[0073] Example 2

[0074] A control method for a clothing handling device, the clothing handling device including a washing machine and a shower water pump connected to the washing machine at the water outlet, the control method including determining whether the shower water pump is in operation when the washing machine stops working, and controlling the shower water pump to stop working if it is.

[0075] Specifically, such as Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the control method implementation flow of the clothing processing device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The control method may include:

[0076] Step S10: During the washing program, if the control module of the clothing handling device determines that the washing machine is in a paused or turned-off state, then step S20: further determine whether the shower water pump is in a running state.

[0077] It should be understood that when the washing machine is paused or turned off, its built-in battery provides power to the program controller (or control board), which in turn sends signals to the water pump, receives, judges, processes, and issues commands. The program controller (or control board) does not silence the washing machine simply because it is turned off; it continues to operate.

[0078] like Figure 1 As shown, further determining whether the shower water pump is in operation involves the following possibilities:

[0079] If the shower water pump is running, then in step S30: the control module sends a shutdown command to the shower water pump, controlling the shower water pump to perform a corresponding pause or shutdown action.

[0080] In washing machines equipped with infrared-controlled shower water pumps, if the water pump is manually paused or turned off while the machine is running, the water level may exceed the inner tub's capacity, causing overflow. Furthermore, the machine cannot issue a warning when paused or turned off. Therefore, this embodiment describes a method to pause the shower water pump when the washing machine is paused or stopped, effectively solving the overflow problem.

[0081] Of course, if the shower water pump is not in operation, then in step S40: the control module controls the shower water pump to maintain its current state.

[0082] It should be noted that if the control module determines that the shower pump is not in operation, it will still send a shutdown command to the shower pump, controlling it to perform a pause or shutdown action accordingly. This is because when the shower pump is not in operation, it cannot be determined whether the shutdown is temporary due to a malfunction or will be prolonged. Therefore, as a precaution, the control module still sends a shutdown command to ensure that the shower pump is in a paused or shut-down state.

[0083] To distinguish it from the control method of the clothing processing device in Embodiment 1, the control method of the clothing processing device is further described using the following embodiments.

[0084] like Figure 5 As shown, after step S30 and / or step S40 have been performed, the following steps may also be performed:

[0085] Step S50: Within a preset time period, determine whether the washing machine will restart.

[0086] It should be understood that the above determination that the washing machine is in a paused state again can be interpreted as the control board or control module detecting that the washing machine is in a paused state again, and then executing step S50.

[0087] The preset time period can be set manually or left as the default factory setting. Specifically, the preset time period can be the shortest washing program in the washing machine's washing program, or it can be the longest washing program; there are no restrictions here.

[0088] If the washing machine restarts within a preset time period, then in step S501: the control module determines whether to select the shower water pump function.

[0089] If the washing machine starts within a preset time period, it indicates that the washing machine may have paused due to a brief pause during the normal washing program. In this case, the control module can control the shower water pump to start, thereby supplying water to the washing machine.

[0090] If the washing machine does not restart within the preset time period, then step S502: the shower water pump remains in a suspended state.

[0091] If the washing machine does not start within the preset time period, it may indicate that the washing program has been paused due to serious damage or other unforeseen problems. In this case, to prevent water from overflowing into the washing tub, the water pump needs to be kept paused.

[0092] like Figure 5 As shown, in step S501: after the control module determines whether to select the shower water pump function, it may also include:

[0093] If the control module determines that the shower water pump function has been selected, then in step S5011: the control module controls the shower water pump to start and continues to execute the subsequent washing program.

[0094] If the control module does not detect the selection of the shower water pump function, then in step S5012: the washing machine is controlled to continue executing the subsequent washing program.

[0095] like Figure 6 As shown, if the control module determines that the bath water has run out, step S5011 or step S5012 may further include:

[0096] Step S5013: Determine whether the washing program is in the water-requiring stage.

[0097] If it is determined that the washing program is in the water-requiring stage, then step S5014: the control module controls the tap water valve to open and continues to execute the subsequent washing program;

[0098] If it is determined that no more water is needed for the subsequent washing program, then step S5015: continue to execute the subsequent washing program until the washing program ends.

[0099] It should be understood that after the initial determination of whether the shower water pump is running, if the washing machine pauses or shuts down multiple times, the control module of the clothes handling device can execute the step of determining whether the shower water pump is running multiple times.

[0100] It should be understood that the above English letters and / or symbols are only for clearly explaining the meaning of the specific parameters of the device or this method, and other letters or symbols may also be used, without any restriction here.

[0101] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0102] The beneficial effects of the control method provided in this invention are at least as follows: Since most commercially available shower pumps have infrared receivers and receive signals at fixed frequencies, this application integrates the infrared transmitter onto the washing machine control board. Integrating the shower pump onto the control board solves the problem of wasted shower pump resources, eliminating the need for a dedicated shower pump for the washing machine itself. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to run signal cables from the washing machine, significantly improving efficiency and safety. This invention provides a washing machine control method with an infrared transmitter, enabling automatic control of the shower pump in abnormal situations.
