The described embodiments should not be regarded as limiting this application. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0056] In the following description, reference is made to “some embodiments”, which describes a subset of all possible embodiments, but it will be understood that “some embodiments” may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments and may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0057] In the following description, the terms "first\second\third" involved are merely used to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific ordering of the objects. It can be understood that "first\second\third" can be interchanged with a specific order or sequence where permitted, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0058] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0059] To address the problem of misjudgment of motor faults in related art clothing processing equipment, such as washing machines and washer-dryers, embodiments of the present application provide a method for handling abnormal motor operation in clothing processing equipment. The method provided in embodiments of the present application can be implemented via a computer program that, when executed, completes each step of the method for handling abnormal motor operation provided in embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, the computer program can be executed by a motor operation abnormality handling device in the clothing processing equipment. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an implementation flow of a method for handling abnormal motor operation provided in an embodiment of the present application is applied to a clothing processing device. Figure 1 As shown, the method for handling abnormal motor operation includes the following steps:

[0060] Step S101 : When a clothes treating device is executing a clothes treating program, if it is determined that a motor of the clothes treating device is operating abnormally, the clothes treating device is controlled to perform a correction operation.

[0061] The method for handling abnormal motor operation in the embodiment of the present application is applied to clothing processing equipment, such as washing machines, washer-dryers and other household appliances. In the embodiment of the present application, the clothing processing equipment is a washing machine as an example for description, and the corresponding clothing to be processed is clothing to be washed.

[0062] The user places the laundry into the washing machine, selects the wash function, and presses the start button, which activates the washing machine's motor. While the washing machine is executing the wash cycle, the motor is in operation, and its motion is detected to obtain motion information. This motion information is used to determine whether the motor is operating abnormally. When the motor is operating normally, the motion information indicates normal motor rotation. When the motor is operating abnormally, the motion information indicates that the motor is not rotating (the speed is 0 and no torque is output), or that the motor is stalled (the speed is 0 and torque is output).

[0063] In actual applications, in addition to motor failure causing abnormal motor operation, when the user puts a large amount of clothes in the washing machine, the clothes are eccentric to one side during the washing process, causing the clutch to get stuck. At this time, the motor appears to be stalled, but in fact the motor has not failed, it is just that the motor operates abnormally. However, related technologies will believe that the stall is caused by motor failure, thereby misjudging the motor failure.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, after obtaining the motion information, it is determined whether the motor operation is abnormal based on the motion information. If the motor operation is abnormal, it may indicate a motor failure or a clutch jam. If the motor operation is normal, the washing machine continues to execute the washing cycle until abnormal motor operation is detected or the motor stops operating after the washing cycle is completed.

[0065] When the motor operates abnormally, to eliminate the possibility that the abnormality is caused by something other than a motor fault, the washing machine is controlled to pause the currently executing program, enter a correction process, and perform a correction operation to correct the motor operation. For example, if the abnormal motor operation is caused by a stuck clutch (the clutch ratchet and pawl are stuck), the motor can be unstuck by separating the clutch ratchet and pawl. The correction operation can then be an operation to separate the clutch ratchet and pawl.

[0066] Step S102: Determine whether the correction operation is completed and control the motor to start.

[0067] Step S103: obtaining the motion information of the motor.

[0068] After the correction operation in step S101, the motor is no longer stalled. The motor is then restarted and its movement is detected again to obtain motion information. This motion information serves the same purpose as the first acquired motion information: it is used to determine whether the motor's movement is abnormal. When the motor is operating normally, the motion information indicates normal motor rotation. When the motor is operating abnormally, the motion information indicates that the motor is not rotating (the speed is 0 and no torque is output) or is stalled (the speed is 0 and torque is output).

[0069] In step S104 , when it is determined based on the motion information that the motor motion is normal, the result of processing the abnormal motor motion is determined to be successful.

[0070] During the washing process, the motor's movement is continuously monitored. If abnormal motor movement is detected, a correction process is initiated and corrective actions are performed. The motor is then controlled again to monitor its movement and obtain motion information. If the motion information indicates that the motor is operating normally, the correction process has resolved the abnormal motor movement issue, resulting in a successful resolution. The motor can operate normally, and it can be determined that the motor is not actually faulty. If the motion information indicates that the motor is operating abnormally, the correction process has not resolved the abnormal motor movement issue, resulting in a failed resolution. The motor still cannot operate normally, and it is determined that the motor is faulty.

[0071] Step S105 , controlling the clothes treating device to continue to execute the clothes treating program.

[0072] After the motor anomaly is successfully handled, the motor can resume normal operation, the correction process ends, and the washing machine continues its wash cycle. This allows the machine to correct motor anomalies caused by non-motor faults and resume normal operation, reducing the number of times the washing machine halts its wash cycle due to motor anomalies and improving the automation level of the laundry machine.

[0073] The method for handling abnormal motor operation provided in an embodiment of the present application is applied to a clothing processing device. The method comprises: during the execution of a clothing processing program by the clothing processing device, if it is determined that the motor operation of the clothing processing device is abnormal, controlling the clothing processing device to perform a correction operation; determining that the correction operation is completed, controlling the motor to start, and obtaining the motor's operation information; if it is determined based on the operation information that the motor operation is normal, determining that the result of handling the abnormal motor operation is successful; and controlling the clothing processing device to continue to execute the clothing processing program. This can eliminate situations where the motor operation is abnormal due to other reasons, reduce the misjudgment of motor failures, and lower the misjudgment rate of motor failures; and when it is determined that the motor operation is abnormal, performing a correction operation to correct the motor so that the motor continues to operate normally, reducing the number of times the clothing processing device terminates due to abnormal motor operation, and improving the automation level of the clothing processing device.

[0074] exist Figure 1 On the basis of the embodiment shown, the embodiment of the present application further provides a method for processing abnormal motor operation of a clothing processing device. Figure 2 Another implementation flow chart of the method for handling abnormal motor operation provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the method for handling abnormal motor operation includes the following steps:

[0075] Step S201 : obtaining first motion information of a motor of the clothing processing device during the process of the clothing processing device executing a clothing processing program.

[0076] The user places laundry into the washing machine, selects the wash function, and presses the start button, which activates the washing machine's motor. While the motor is running, the motor's movement is detected to obtain first movement information. This first movement information is used to determine whether the motor's movement is abnormal.

[0077] Step S202 : determining whether the motor operation is abnormal based on the first operation information.

[0078] When it is determined based on the first action information that the motor operation is abnormal, it indicates that the motor does not rotate abnormally (the speed is 0 and no torque is output), or the motor is blocked (the speed is 0 and torque is output). At this time, step S203 is entered to enter the correction process to further determine whether the motor fails. When it is determined based on the first action information that the motor operation is normal, if the washing program has not been completed, the washing program is continued and the process returns to step S201 to continue obtaining the motor operation information.

[0079] Step S203: controlling the clothes processing device to perform a correction operation.

[0080] When the motor operates abnormally, to eliminate the possibility that the abnormality is not caused by a motor fault, the washing machine is controlled to pause the currently executing program and enter a correction process, performing a correction operation to correct the motor operation. For example, if the abnormal motor operation is caused by a stuck clutch (the clutch ratchet and pawl are stuck), the motor can be unstuck by disengaging the clutch ratchet and pawl. In this case, the correction operation is to disengage the clutch ratchet and pawl.

[0081] Step S204: Determine whether the correction operation is completed and control the motor to start.

[0082] Step S205: obtaining second motion information of the motor.

[0083] After the correction operation in step S203, the motor is no longer blocked, and the motor is started again, and the movement of the motor is detected again to obtain second movement information. The second movement information has the same function as the first movement information, and is used to determine whether the motor movement is abnormal.

[0084] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, “first action information” refers to the first time action information is obtained, and “second action information” refers to the second time action information is obtained.

[0085] Step S206 , determining whether the motor operation is abnormal based on the second operation information.

[0086] When it is determined based on the second action information that the motor operation is abnormal, it indicates that the motor has indeed failed. At this time, step S209 is entered to prompt the user that the motor has failed, so that the user can repair the motor in time, eliminate the fault, and avoid the motor from being blocked and burned. When it is determined based on the second action information that the motor operation is normal, it indicates that the abnormal motor operation is not caused by a motor fault, that is, the motor has not failed, and the problem of abnormal motor operation can be solved by correcting the operation. At this time, step S207 is entered to end the correction process.

[0087] Step S207: determining that the result of the processing of the abnormal motor operation is successful.

[0088] During motor operation, the motor's motion is continuously monitored. When the first detected motion information indicates that the motor is operating abnormally, a correction process is initiated and a corrective action is performed. The motor is then controlled again to monitor its motion. When the second detected motion information indicates that the motor is operating normally, the corrective action has resolved the abnormal motor motion. The result of the abnormal motor motion handling is a successful resolution, indicating that the motor can operate normally, and that the motor is not actually faulty.

[0089] Step S208: Control the clothes processing device to continue executing the clothes processing program.

[0090] After the motor abnormality is successfully handled, the motor can operate normally. At this time, the correction process ends and the washing machine continues to execute the washing program.

[0091] Step S209: determining that the result of the processing of the abnormal motor operation is processing failure.

[0092] When the second action information is detected to determine that the motor action is abnormal, it indicates that the correction operation has not solved the problem of the motor action abnormality, the processing result of the motor action abnormality is processing failure, and the motor still cannot operate normally. At this time, it is determined that the motor has failed.

[0093] Step S210: Control the clothes processing device to enter a fault state and output an alarm message.

[0094] If the motor still cannot operate normally after the abnormal operation of the motor is handled unsuccessfully, the washing machine ends the correction process and enters a fault state, which may display fault information or sound an alarm.

[0095] In some embodiments, controlling the clothing processing device to output an alarm message can be achieved by: controlling the first display module of the clothing processing device to display a first prompt message, which is used to prompt that the clothing processing device is in a fault state; controlling the clothing processing device to output an alarm message can also be achieved by: controlling the second display module of the clothing processing device to display a fault code, which is used to prompt that the motor of the clothing processing device has a fault; controlling the clothing processing device to output an alarm message can also be achieved by: controlling the alarm module of the clothing processing device to emit a first alarm sound, which is used to prompt that the motor of the clothing processing device has a fault; when the clothing processing device is able to establish a connection with the user terminal, controlling the clothing processing device to output an alarm message can also be achieved by: controlling the sending module of the clothing processing device to send the fault code to the terminal that has established a connection relationship with the clothing processing device.

[0096] A method for processing abnormal motor operation provided in an embodiment of the present application is applied to a clothing processing device, the method comprising: obtaining first operation information of a motor of the clothing processing device during execution of a clothing processing program by the clothing processing device; controlling the clothing processing device to perform a correction operation when it is determined that the motor operation is abnormal based on the first operation information; determining that the correction operation is completed, controlling the motor to start, and obtaining second operation information of the motor; determining that the motor operation is normal based on the second operation information, determining that the processing result of the abnormal motor operation is successful, and controlling the clothing processing device to continue executing the clothing processing program; determining that the motor operation is abnormal based on the second operation information, determining that the processing result of the abnormal motor operation is failed; controlling the clothing processing device to enter a fault state, and outputting an alarm message. In this way, it is possible to eliminate situations where the motor operates abnormally due to other reasons, reduce misjudgments of motor faults, and lower the misjudgment rate of motor faults; and, when it is determined that the motor operates abnormally, a correction operation is performed to correct the motor so that the motor continues to operate normally, reducing the number of times the clothing processing equipment terminates due to abnormal motor operation, and improving the degree of automation of the clothing processing equipment; and, after it is determined that the motor has failed, the clothing processing equipment is controlled to enter a fault state to avoid the motor from continuing to operate after the failure occurs, thereby preventing the motor from being burned; and at the same time, an alarm message is output to remind the user that the motor has failed, so that the user can repair the motor in time and eliminate the fault.

[0097] In some embodiments, Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, step S101 or Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, “controlling the clothes processing device to perform a correction operation” in step S203 may be implemented through the following steps S1011 to S1014 .

[0098] Step S1011 , controlling the drainage device of the clothes processing equipment to start to enter the drainage process.

[0099] Before controlling the washing machine to perform correction operations, we first explain the working principle of the washing machine's traction mechanism and its coordination with various programs. The traction mechanism primarily performs three functions: traction, holding, and rewinding. The coordination between the traction mechanism and various programs is as follows: When the washing machine triggers a drain or spin command, the traction motor and anti-reverse electromagnet within the traction mechanism are simultaneously energized. The traction motor, through a gear train, winds a wire (or rack) into the traction mechanism. This wire then pulls open the drain valve (i.e., opens the drain mechanism), allowing water to drain. A mechanical linkage disengages the ratchet and pawl of the clutch assembly, which performs both wash and spin functions. (During spin, the spin tub lock also needs to be released to prepare for the synchronized rotation of the impeller and inner tub during the next spin cycle.) The anti-reverse electromagnet energizes, and its linkage mechanism springs open, ensuring the traction motor rotates unidirectionally, reeling in the wire. Once the traction mechanism is fully engaged, a limit switch within the traction mechanism stops the traction motor, while the electromagnet remains energized. The linkage mechanism locks the wire, overcoming the counterforce of the drain valve's return spring and maintaining the original operating state. When the drainage or dehydration stage is completed, the control circuit board's instruction cuts off the power to the traction device, and the anti-reverse electromagnet inside it is de-energized and released. The traction wire is pulled out under the action of the drain valve return spring, closing the drain valve and the linkage mechanism synchronously engages the clutch pawl with the ratchet (when dehydrating, it is also necessary to disengage the impeller shaft and the dehydration shaft to return the clutch to the washing state).

[0100] For these reasons, the motor may have become stuck during the wash and rinse cycles due to the clutch's ratchet and pawl locking and failing to disengage, causing the clutch to become stuck. In this case, the motor is not faulty. To eliminate the possibility of motor failure causing abnormal operation, the washing machine is controlled to open the drain mechanism when the motor malfunctions, disengaging the clutch's ratchet and pawl via a puller to unblock the clutch.

[0101] Step S1012: After determining that the drainage process is completed, the clothes processing device is controlled to enter the dehydration stage.

[0102] After the drainage device is turned on, the water level detection device in the barrel body detects the remaining water level in the barrel body. When it is detected that the remaining water level in the barrel body is lower than the preset water level lower limit, it is considered that the washing water in the barrel body has been drained, and the drainage process is determined to be completed at this time.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, although the clutch ratchet and pawl disengage during the draining process, their relative positions do not change during the draining process. After engagement, the ratchet and pawl could re-lock, causing the clutch to become stuck. To reduce the likelihood of the clutch getting stuck again, the washing machine is controlled to enter the spin stage after draining is complete. The spin resonance fully disengages the clutch ratchet and pawl.

[0104] Step S1013 , determining that the time duration of the clothes processing device entering the dehydration stage reaches a first time duration, and controlling the clothes processing device to end the dehydration stage.

[0105] The washing machine enters the dehydration stage and runs the dehydration program. When the duration of the dehydration program of the washing machine reaches a first duration, it is considered that the ratchet and the pawl of the clutch are fully separated, and the washing machine ends the dehydration program.

[0106] Here, the first time length may be a time length that allows the ratchet wheel and the pawl to be fully separated. In actual implementation, the first time length may be any value between 2 seconds and 10 seconds, for example, 2 seconds.

[0107] Step S1014, controlling the drainage device to close.

[0108] The washing machine completes the spin cycle and closes the drain valve, eliminating the traction force from the tractor and allowing the clutch's ratchet and pawl to reengage. Because the clutch's ratchet and pawl have fully disengaged during the spin cycle, the chance of the clutch getting stuck again after reengagement is greatly reduced. This eliminates the problem of motor stalling and abnormal motor operation caused by clutch sticking.

[0109] The method provided in the embodiment of the present application controls the drainage device of the clothing processing equipment to open to enter the drainage process. During the drainage process, the traction device of the clothing processing equipment separates the ratchet and pawl of the clutch of the clothing processing equipment; after determining that the drainage process is completed, the clothing processing equipment is controlled to enter the dehydration stage, and after determining that the time length of the clothing processing equipment entering the dehydration stage reaches a first time length, the clothing processing equipment is controlled to end the dehydration stage so that the ratchet and pawl of the clutch are fully separated; finally, the drainage device is controlled to close. In this way, when the motor of the clothing processing equipment has abnormal operation, the abnormal motor operation is automatically corrected, and factors that are not caused by motor failures and cause abnormal motor operation are eliminated.

[0110] In some embodiments, after the above step S1014 is executed, it is determined that the correction operation is completed.

[0111] After step S1014, the above method may further perform the following steps:

[0112] Step S11 , controlling the water inlet device of the clothes processing equipment to open to enter a water injection process.

[0113] In practice, the clutch may be stuck because the clothes in the drum are eccentric to one side. Although the center of gravity of the clothes in the drum has changed after the first spin cycle, they may still be entangled and eccentric to one side. In the embodiment of the present application, to solve the problem of entanglement and eccentricity of clothes, water is added to the drum during the correction process. Under the action of the water's buoyancy, the relative position of the clothes in the drum is changed, and the clothes are shaken out again and no longer entangled.

[0114] Step S12: When it is detected that the water level in the barrel of the laundry processing device reaches a preset water level threshold, the water inlet device is controlled to be closed.

[0115] After the water inlet device is turned on, the water level detection device in the washing machine barrel detects the water level in the barrel. When it is detected that the water level in the barrel reaches the preset water level threshold, it is determined that the water filling process is completed and the water inlet device is closed.

[0116] In an embodiment of the present application, the preset water level threshold can be the upper limit of the water level in the barrel. Setting the preset water level threshold to the maximum water level can ensure that all clothes in the barrel are soaked in water, so that the clothes can be shaken out as much as possible.

[0117] The method provided in the embodiment of the present application can shake out the clothes in the barrel by injecting water into the barrel during the correction process, preventing the clothes in the barrel from being eccentric to one side, thereby preventing the clutch from getting stuck again due to uneven gravity and causing abnormal motor operation.

[0118] In some embodiments, during the correction process, after executing the correction operations of steps S1011 to S1014 above, water is poured into the barrel to the highest water level, and the action information of the motor is obtained again at this time to determine whether the abnormal motor action has been successfully handled. In one implementation method, the motor can be controlled to start, and the action information of the motor can be obtained immediately, and whether the motor action is abnormal can be determined based on the action information. In another implementation method, the motor can be controlled to start and run for a period of time. When the motor action is always normal during the trial operation stage, it is considered that the abnormal motor action has been successfully handled. Compared with the first implementation method, the trial operation during the correction process can further ensure that the abnormal motor action is successfully handled. Controlling the trial operation of the washing machine during the correction process, that is, step S104 "determining that the motor action is normal based on the action information, determining that the result of the abnormal motor action is successfully handled" can be achieved by the following steps:

[0119] Step S1041 : When it is determined based on the action information that the motor is operating normally, the motor is controlled to operate in the first operating mode for a second time period.

[0120] Here, the motor runs in the first working mode for the second time, and the motor can run for the second time at the first start-stop ratio. The start-stop ratio is the ratio of the rotation time to the stop time of the motor in one rotation. The rotation time can be any value between 15s and 30s, and the stop time can be any value between 2s and 7s. For example, the rotation time is 25s and the stop time is 5s, then the first start-stop ratio is 25s:5s. The second time can be set to any value. Based on the actual situation, the trial run can generally be 1min (minutes) to 10min. For example, the second time can be set to 5min. At this time, after the motor is started, when it is determined that the motor operation is normal according to the second action information, the motor is controlled to run for 5min at a start-stop ratio of 25s:5s.

[0121] In some embodiments, the first working mode can be set to the same working mode as the motor of the washing machine during the washing stage, so as to test the washing stage and verify whether the motor of the washing machine operates normally during the washing stage.

[0122] Step S1042: Control the motor to operate in the second operating mode for a third time period.

[0123] Here, the motor operates in the second operating mode for a third time, which can be a second start-stop ratio. The second start-stop ratio can be greater than the first start-stop ratio, less than the first start-stop ratio, or the same as the first start-stop ratio. For example, the first start-stop ratio is set to 10s:3s. The third time can also be set to any value. Based on actual conditions, the trial run can generally be 1 minute to 10 minutes. For example, the third time can be set to 2 minutes.

[0124] In some embodiments, the second operating mode can be set to the same operating mode as the motor operating mode during the rinsing stage of the washing machine, so as to test the rinsing stage and verify whether the motor of the washing machine operates normally during the rinsing stage.

[0125] In some embodiments, the first working mode or the second working mode can be the same as the working mode of the motor when the first action information is obtained. In this way, the first working mode or the second working mode can be used to specifically verify that the processing result of the abnormal motor action is successful.

[0126] Step S1043 , controlling the drainage device of the clothes processing equipment to start to enter the drainage process.

[0127] After the trial run is completed, open the drainage device and drain the water in the barrel.

[0128] Step S1044: After determining that the drainage process is completed, the drainage device is controlled to be closed, and the result of determining that the abnormal motor operation is processed is successful.

[0129] After the drainage device is turned on, the water level detection device in the barrel body detects the remaining water level in the barrel body. When it is detected that the remaining water level in the barrel body is lower than the preset water level lower limit, it is considered that the washing water in the barrel body has been drained, and the drainage process is determined to be completed at this time.

[0130] During the trial operation phase, it is detected that the motor operation is always normal, that is, there is no abnormal motor operation. At this time, it is considered that the motor operation abnormality processing is completed, and the processing result is determined to be successful.

[0131] In the embodiment of the present application, through the trial run, not only can the normal operation of the motor be ensured, but also, during the trial run stage, the clothes can be further shaken out so that the clothes are no longer entangled, thereby preventing the clothes in the barrel from being entangled and eccentric to one side, and further preventing the clutch from getting stuck, thereby further avoiding abnormal motor operation.

[0132] In some embodiments, Figure 1 Before "controlling the laundry processing device to perform a corrective operation" in step S101 of the illustrated embodiment, the method may further include: step S01, obtaining the processing stage of the laundry processing program being executed when the motor malfunctions. Here, the processing stage of the laundry processing program being executed when the motor malfunctions may be the washing stage or the rinsing stage.

[0133] exist Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, step S105, "controlling the laundry processing device to continue executing the laundry processing program," can be implemented as follows: step S1051, controlling the laundry processing device to re-execute the processing phase. Alternatively, step S1051 can be replaced with step S1051', controlling the laundry processing device to end the processing phase and enter the next processing phase.

[0134] If a washing machine experiences motor anomalies during a wash cycle, after correction is completed, the washing cycle can be continued, or the washing cycle can be skipped and the rinse cycle can be continued. Similarly, if a washing machine experiences motor anomalies during a rinse cycle, after correction is completed, the washing machine can continue, or the rinse cycle can be skipped and the spin cycle can be continued. By skipping the current cycle, the motor anomaly can be avoided in the same stage, but it cannot guarantee that the clothes are clean. By continuing the current cycle, the clothes are clean, but the motor anomaly may recur in the same stage.

[0135] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention further provides a method for processing abnormal motor operation of a clothes processing device. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of another implementation flow of the method for processing abnormal motor operation provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown as follows: Figure 3As shown, the method for handling abnormal motor operation includes the following steps:

[0136] Step S301 : obtaining first motion information of a motor of the clothing processing device during the process of the clothing processing device executing a clothing processing program.

[0137] The user places laundry into the washing machine, selects the wash function, and presses the start button, which activates the washing machine's motor. While the motor is running, the motor's movement is detected to obtain first movement information. This first movement information is used to determine whether the motor's movement is abnormal.

[0138] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, “first action information” refers to the first time action information is obtained, and “second action information” refers to the second time action information is obtained.

[0139] Step S302: determining whether the motor operation is abnormal based on the first operation information.

[0140] When the motor operation is judged to be abnormal based on the first action information, it indicates that the motor does not rotate abnormally (the speed is 0 and no torque is output), or the motor is blocked (the speed is 0 and torque is output). At this time, step S303 is entered to record the current operation stage; when the motor operation is judged to be normal based on the first action information, step S320 is entered to determine whether all clothing processing stages have been completed.

[0141] Step S303, obtaining the processing stage of the clothing processing program being executed when the motor operates abnormally.

[0142] Here, when the motor operates abnormally, the processing stage being executed by the clothing processing program may be a washing stage or a rinsing stage.

[0143] Step S304: Control the drainage device of the clothes processing equipment to start to enter the drainage process.

[0144] During the wash and rinse cycles, the motor may become stuck due to the clutch ratchet and pawl being locked and unable to disengage, causing the clutch to become stuck. In this case, the motor is not faulty. To eliminate the possibility of motor failure causing abnormal operation, when the motor malfunctions, the washing machine is controlled to enter a correction process, control the washing machine to open the drain device, and use the puller to disengage the clutch ratchet and pawl, so that the clutch is no longer stuck.

[0145] Step S305: After determining that the drainage process is completed, the clothes processing device is controlled to enter the dehydration stage.

[0146] After the drainage device is turned on, the water level detection device in the barrel body detects the remaining water level in the barrel body. When it is detected that the remaining water level in the barrel body is lower than the preset water level lower limit, it is considered that the washing water in the barrel body has been drained, and the drainage process is determined to be completed at this time.

[0147] In the embodiment of the present application, although the clutch ratchet and pawl disengage during the draining process, their relative positions do not change during the draining process. After engagement, the ratchet and pawl could re-lock, causing the clutch to become stuck. To reduce the likelihood of the clutch getting stuck again, the washing machine is controlled to enter the spin stage after draining is complete. The spin resonance fully disengages the clutch ratchet and pawl.

[0148] Step S306 , determining that the time duration of the clothes processing device entering the dehydration stage reaches a first time duration, and controlling the clothes processing device to end the dehydration stage.

[0149] The washing machine enters the dehydration stage and runs the dehydration program. When the duration of the dehydration program of the washing machine reaches a first duration, it is considered that the ratchet and the pawl of the clutch are fully separated, and the washing machine ends the dehydration program.

[0150] Here, the first time length may be a time length that allows the ratchet wheel and the pawl to be fully separated. In actual implementation, the first time length may be any value between 2 seconds and 10 seconds, for example, 2 seconds.

[0151] Step S307, controlling the drainage device to close.

[0152] The washing machine completes the spin cycle and closes the drain valve, eliminating the traction force from the tractor and allowing the clutch's ratchet and pawl to reengage. Because the clutch's ratchet and pawl have fully disengaged during the spin cycle, the chance of the clutch getting stuck again after reengagement is greatly reduced. This eliminates the problem of motor stalling and abnormal motor operation caused by clutch sticking.

[0153] In an embodiment of the present application, the drainage device of the clothing processing equipment is controlled to open to enter the drainage process. During the drainage process, the traction device of the clothing processing equipment separates the ratchet and pawl of the clutch of the clothing processing equipment; after determining that the drainage process is over, the clothing processing equipment is controlled to enter the dehydration stage, and after determining that the length of time the clothing processing equipment enters the dehydration stage reaches a first length of time, the clothing processing equipment is controlled to end the dehydration stage so that the ratchet and pawl of the clutch are fully separated; finally, the drainage device is controlled to close. In this way, when the motor of the clothing processing equipment has abnormal operation, the abnormal motor operation is automatically corrected, and factors that cause the abnormal motor operation due to non-motor failure are eliminated.

[0154] Step S308 , determining that the correction operation is completed, and controlling the water inlet device of the clothes processing equipment to open to enter the water injection process.

[0155] In practice, the clutch may be stuck because the clothes in the drum are eccentric to one side. Although the center of gravity of the clothes in the drum has changed after the first spin cycle, they may still be entangled and eccentric to one side. In the embodiment of the present application, to solve the problem of entanglement and eccentricity of clothes, water is added to the drum during the correction process. Under the action of the water's buoyancy, the relative position of the clothes in the drum is changed, and the clothes are shaken out again and no longer entangled.

[0156] Step S309: When it is detected that the water level in the barrel of the clothes processing device reaches a preset water level threshold, the water inlet device is controlled to be closed.

[0157] After the water inlet device is turned on, the water level detection device in the washing machine barrel detects the water level in the barrel. When it is detected that the water level in the barrel reaches the preset water level threshold, it is determined that the water filling process is completed and the water inlet device is closed.

[0158] In an embodiment of the present application, the preset water level threshold can be the upper limit of the water level in the barrel. Setting the preset water level threshold to the maximum water level can ensure that all clothes in the barrel are soaked in water, so that the clothes can be shaken out as much as possible.

[0159] In the embodiment of the present application, during the correction process, water is injected into the barrel to shake the clothes in the barrel and prevent the clothes in the barrel from being eccentric to one side, thereby preventing the clutch from getting stuck again due to uneven gravity and causing abnormal motor operation.

[0160] Step S310, controlling the motor to start.

[0161] Step S311, obtaining second motion information of the motor.

[0162] After the correction operation from step S304 to step S309, the motor is no longer blocked, and the motor is restarted and the motor movement is detected again to obtain second movement information. The second movement information has the same function as the first movement information, and is used to determine whether the motor movement is abnormal.

[0163] Step S312: determining whether the motor operation is abnormal based on the second operation information.

[0164] When it is determined based on the second action information that the motor operation is abnormal, it indicates that the motor has indeed failed. At this time, step S319 is entered to prompt the user that the motor has failed, so that the user can repair the motor in time, eliminate the fault, and avoid motor blocking and burning. When it is determined based on the second action information that the motor operation is normal, it indicates that the abnormal motor operation is not caused by a motor fault, that is, the motor has not failed. The problem of abnormal motor operation can be solved by correcting the operation. At this time, step S313 is entered for trial operation.

[0165] Step S313: Control the motor to operate in the first operating mode for a second time period.

[0166] Here, the motor runs in the first working mode for the second time, and the motor can run for the second time at the first start-stop ratio. The start-stop ratio is the ratio of the rotation time to the stop time of the motor in one rotation. The rotation time can be any value between 15s and 30s, and the stop time can be any value between 2s and 7s. For example, the rotation time is 25s and the stop time is 5s, then the first start-stop ratio is 25s:5s. The second time can be set to any value. Based on the actual situation, the trial run can generally be 1min (minutes) to 10min. For example, the second time can be set to 5min. At this time, after the motor is started, when it is determined that the motor operation is normal according to the second action information, the motor is controlled to run for 5min at a start-stop ratio of 25s:5s.

[0167] In some embodiments, the first working mode can be set to the same working mode as the motor of the washing machine during the washing stage, so as to test the washing stage and verify whether the motor of the washing machine operates normally during the washing stage.

[0168] Step S314: controlling the motor to operate in the second operating mode for a third time period.

[0169] Here, the motor operates in the second operating mode for a third time, which can be a second start-stop ratio. The second start-stop ratio can be greater than the first start-stop ratio, less than the first start-stop ratio, or the same as the first start-stop ratio. For example, the first start-stop ratio is set to 10s:3s. The third time can also be set to any value. Based on actual conditions, the trial run can generally be 1 minute to 10 minutes. For example, the third time can be set to 2 minutes.

[0170] In some embodiments, the second operating mode can be set to the same operating mode as the motor operating mode during the rinsing stage of the washing machine, so as to test the rinsing stage and verify whether the motor of the washing machine operates normally during the rinsing stage.

[0171] In some embodiments, the first working mode or the second working mode can be the same as the working mode of the motor when the first action information is obtained. In this way, the first working mode or the second working mode can be used to specifically verify that the processing result of the abnormal motor action is successful.

[0172] Step S315 , controlling the drainage device of the clothes processing equipment to start to enter the drainage process.

[0173] After the trial run is completed, open the drainage device to drain the water in the barrel.

[0174] Step S316: After determining that the drainage process is completed, the drainage device is controlled to be closed, and the result of determining that the abnormal motor operation is processed is successful.

[0175] After the drainage device is turned on, the water level detection device in the barrel body detects the remaining water level in the barrel body. When it is detected that the remaining water level in the barrel body is lower than the preset water level lower limit, it is considered that the washing water in the barrel body has been drained, and the drainage process is determined to be completed at this time.

[0176] During the trial operation phase, it is detected that the motor operation is always normal, that is, there is no abnormal motor operation. At this time, it is considered that the motor operation abnormality processing is completed, and the processing result is determined to be successful.

[0177] In the embodiment of the present application, through the trial run, not only can the normal operation of the motor be ensured, but also, during the trial run stage, the clothes can be further shaken out so that the clothes are no longer entangled, thereby preventing the clothes in the barrel from being entangled and eccentric to one side, and further preventing the clutch from getting stuck, thereby further avoiding abnormal motor operation.

[0178] Here, during the operation of the motor, the movement of the motor is continuously detected. When the second action information is detected to determine that the motor movement is normal, it indicates that the correction operation has solved the problem of abnormal motor movement. The processing result of the abnormal motor movement is successful, the motor can operate normally, and it can be determined that the motor is not actually faulty.

[0179] Step S317 , controlling the clothes processing device to end the clothes processing stage and enter the next stage of the clothes processing stage.

[0180] After the motor abnormality is successfully handled, the motor can operate normally. At this time, the correction process ends, and the washing machine skips the processing stage of the motor abnormality and enters step S318 to continue the subsequent washing process.

[0181] Step S318, determining whether the laundry processing program is completed.

[0182] When washing is completed and dehydration is finished, it is determined that all clothing processing stages are completed, and the clothing processing program is determined to be completed, and step S321 is entered at this time; when there are still unfinished clothing processing stages, it is determined that the clothing processing program has not been completed, and the process returns to step S301 to continue.

[0183] Step S319: determining that the result of the processing of the abnormal motor operation is processing failure.

[0184] When the motor operation is determined to be abnormal based on the second operation information, it indicates that the correction operation has not solved the problem of the motor operation abnormality, the processing result of the motor operation abnormality is processing failure, and the motor still cannot operate normally. At this time, it is determined that the motor has failed.

[0185] Step S320: Control the clothes processing device to enter a fault state and output an alarm message.

[0186] If the motor still cannot operate normally after the abnormal operation of the motor is handled unsuccessfully, the washing machine ends the correction process and enters a fault state, which may display fault information or sound an alarm.

[0187] In some embodiments, controlling the clothing processing device to output an alarm message can be achieved by: controlling the first display module of the clothing processing device to display a first prompt message, which is used to prompt that the clothing processing device is in a fault state; controlling the clothing processing device to output an alarm message can also be achieved by: controlling the second display module of the clothing processing device to display a fault code, which is used to prompt that the motor of the clothing processing device has a fault; controlling the clothing processing device to output an alarm message can also be achieved by: controlling the alarm module of the clothing processing device to emit a first alarm sound, which is used to prompt that the motor of the clothing processing device has a fault; when the clothing processing device is able to establish a connection with the user terminal, controlling the clothing processing device to output an alarm message can also be achieved by: controlling the sending module of the clothing processing device to send the fault code to the terminal that has established a connection relationship with the clothing processing device.

[0188] Step S321, end.

[0189] The method for handling abnormal motor operation provided in the embodiment of the present application enters a correction process to perform a correction operation when abnormal motor operation occurs, and then conducts a trial run during the correction process. If the trial run determines that the motor operation is normal, it can be determined that the motor is not actually faulty, and the motor has been restored to normal operation based on the correction operation; if the trial run determines that the motor operation is abnormal, it is determined that the motor is indeed faulty, which can reduce the misjudgment of motor failure, eliminate the situation where the motor operation is abnormal due to other reasons, and reduce the misjudgment rate of motor failure; and when it is determined that the motor operation is abnormal, a correction process is performed to correct the motor, so that the motor continues to operate normally, reducing the number of times the clothing processing equipment stops running due to abnormal motor operation, and improving the degree of automation of the clothing processing equipment.

[0190] The following describes an exemplary application of the embodiments of the present application in a practical application scenario.

[0191] In existing pulsator washing machines, if a motor anomaly is detected (e.g., motor inactivity, stalling, etc.), the washing process is immediately interrupted and a motor fault error is generated, alerting the user to the motor failure. However, excessive laundry weight or severe eccentricity can also cause the clutch to become stuck, leading to motor stalls. This solution adds a correction step when a motor anomaly is detected, loosening and leveling the laundry and activating the clutch and other motor transmission mechanisms. This eliminates non-genuine motor failures, improves the user's laundry completion rate, and reduces the probability of false motor failure alarms.

[0192] The embodiment of the present application provides a control method for correcting abnormal motor operation, which adds a correction process when abnormal motor operation is predicted during the normal operation of the washing machine, thereby eliminating non-real motor failure situations, improving the user's normal washing completion rate, reducing the probability of false alarm of motor failure, and reducing the market complaint rate. Figure 4 A control method for correcting abnormal motor operation is provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the control method includes the following steps:

[0193] Step S401, start.

[0194] Step S402: The washing machine operates normally, and the motor operates normally.

[0195] Step S403: During the washing process, the motor operation is detected to determine whether any abnormal operation occurs.

[0196] If it is predicted that an abnormal action triggers a motor fault, the logic proceeds to step S404, otherwise, step S402 is continued.

[0197] Step S404: skip the current running stage and enter the correction process corresponding to the current stage.

[0198] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of an implementation flow of the correction process provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the correction process includes the following steps:

[0199] Step S4041, start.

[0200] Step S4042: draining water to an empty bucket.

[0201] Step S4043, dehydration for 2 seconds.

[0202] Step S4044: water is added to the highest water level.

[0203] Step S4045, washing for 5 minutes.

[0204] Step S4046, settle for 90 seconds.

[0205] Step S4047, draining water to an empty bucket.

[0206] Step S4048, end, exit the correction process.

[0207] In some embodiments, when the user puts in a large amount of clothes, the clothes are eccentric to one side during the washing process, causing the clutch to get stuck and the motor to stall. At this time, the motor stall fault detection condition is triggered, and the correction process is entered. The traction device is reactivated after dehydration for 2 seconds, and water is added to shake and flatten the clothes. After recovery, the correction process is exited and the operation is continued to complete the washing process.

[0208] Step S405: During the correction process, the motor operation is continuously detected to determine whether abnormal operation occurs.

[0209] If an abnormal action is detected, the process proceeds to step S406 , otherwise the process proceeds to step S407 .

[0210] Step S406: Entering the fault state, displaying the corresponding motor fault code, and sounding an alarm.

[0211] Step S407: Complete the correction process and continue to operate according to the original normal washing logic.

[0212] The control method for correcting abnormal motor operation provided in the embodiment of the present application can effectively eliminate non-genuine motor failure situations, improve the user's laundry completion rate, reduce the probability of false alarms of motor failures, and reduce the market complaint rate.

[0213] Based on the foregoing embodiments, an embodiment of the present application provides a device for processing abnormal motor operation.
