Description

Technical Field

[0002] The control method of the existing drum laundry treatment device is: water is added to the washing water level, then heated to a certain temperature, and after the heating is completed, the unrunning washing process is continued until it is completed.

[0050] The present application provides a control method for a clothes processing device. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the method may include steps S101-S104:

[0051] S101, filling water into a barrel of a clothes processing device to a first preset water level;

[0052] S102, heating the water in the barrel and washing the clothes in the barrel; wherein, when the water temperature reaches a preset first washing temperature, the water temperature can be maintained at the first washing temperature for washing the clothes for a preset first time period;

[0053] S103, filling the barrel with water to a second preset water level; the second preset water level may be higher than the first preset water level;

[0054] S104, washing the clothes in the barrel until the set washing process is completed.

[0055] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the barrel body may include an outer barrel and an inner barrel, the outer barrel may be used to hold water, and the inner barrel may be used to hold clothes; in other embodiments, the barrel body may include only one barrel, which may hold both water and clothes. The following examples are described by taking the barrel body including the outer barrel and the inner barrel as an example.

[0056] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the water starts to be heated after the first water is added to a first preset water level, and the clothes are washed with high-temperature water having the first water level for a period of time. After the second water is added, the water is no longer heated, and low-temperature water (usually higher than the temperature of normal temperature water, because normal temperature water is added when water is added for the second time, and the normal temperature water is mixed with the previous high temperature water, which reduces the temperature of the high temperature water, but is still higher than the temperature of normal temperature water) is used to wash the clothes until the washing process is completed.

[0057] In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, this embodiment adopts a two-stage washing scheme. High-temperature water (i.e., water with a first washing temperature, generally the water temperature of about 40°C is the most suitable washing temperature) corresponds to low water level (first preset water level) washing. After the mechanical force and the chemical force of the detergent act for a period of time, the force of the stains on the surface and inside the clothing fibers weakens, gradually falls off, and falls on the surface of the clothing. At this time, there is less washing water, and the stains remain on the surface of the clothing and cannot be completely dissolved in the washing water; while low-temperature water corresponds to high water level (second preset water level) washing. The stains remaining on the surface of the clothing are dissolved into the washing water at a higher water level under the action of mechanical force, thereby achieving a good cleaning effect on the basis of energy saving.

[0058] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, water may first be introduced to a set first preset water level, and the first preset water level may be a water level that is just capable of wetting the clothes.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the method may further include:

[0060] Determining that the water in the barrel body has not reached the first preset water level, and controlling the barrel body not to rotate;

[0061] Determine that the water in the barrel body reaches the first preset water level, control the barrel body to rotate, and at the same time, replenish water into the barrel body.

[0062] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, before water enters to the first preset water level, the inner barrel can be kept from rotating, and after water enters to the first preset water level, the inner barrel can be controlled to rotate, and during the rotation of the inner barrel, water can be added to the outer barrel; or, during the process of water entering to the first preset water level, the inner barrel can be controlled to rotate, and during the rotation of the inner barrel, water can be added to the outer barrel.

[0063] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, when water is introduced to the first preset water level, the water may be introduced to the first preset water level at one time or in multiple times.

[0064] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, when water is inletted to a first preset water level at one time, the water inlet speed during the water inlet process may remain constant or may be inletted at a variable water inlet speed.

[0065] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, when water is introduced at a variable water inlet speed, for example, the water inlet speed is relatively fast for a period of time at the beginning of water introduction, and the water inlet speed can be gradually reduced when the first preset water level is about to be reached. Alternatively, before the water inlet reaches a certain amount (which can be measured by the volume or weight of water), the water can be introduced at a relatively fast water inlet speed, and after the water inlet reaches a certain amount, the water can be introduced at a relatively slow water inlet speed.

[0066] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, when water is added to the first preset water level in multiple times, water may first be added to the third preset water level, and the third preset water level may be a lower water level, and the lower water level may be a water level that can touch the clothes.

[0067] In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, there is no restriction on the specific water level height of the third preset water level, and it can be customized according to information such as different types of clothing processing devices, different distances between the inner barrel and the outer barrel, different capacities of the outer barrel, and different shapes of the outer barrel and the inner barrel.

[0068] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the method may further include:

[0069] It is determined that water enters the barrel body, and the barrel body is controlled to rotate. Meanwhile, during the rotation of the barrel body, water is added to the barrel body.

[0070] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the method may further include:

[0071] During the water replenishment process, water is replenished at a first water inlet speed before the water replenishment reaches a preset condition;

[0072] After the water replenishment reaches the preset condition, water is introduced at a second water inlet speed; the second water inlet speed is lower than the first water inlet speed.

[0073] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the preset condition may include any one or more of the following:

[0074] The replenishment amount reaches a second set water amount; the second set water amount is less than the first set water amount;

[0075] The water replenishment time reaches a second set time; the second set time is less than the first set time; and

[0076] The water level reaches the third preset water level; the third preset water level is lower than the first preset water level.

[0077] In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, a detailed embodiment of the water inlet speed is given here. Before the water inlet reaches the preset condition, the first water inlet speed can be used for water inlet; the first water inlet speed can be a larger water inlet speed so that the clothes treatment device can quickly reach the preset condition when the water is initially inlet. When the water inlet process changes to replenishing water to the first preset water level, since the first preset water level is a water level that makes the clothes just wet, the water inlet speed can be slowed down during the water inlet process for the higher water level (for example, a slower second water inlet speed is used) to avoid the water inlet speed being too fast, and the water flow is not timely controlled when the water level has reached the first preset water level, so that the water level is higher than the first preset water level. If the value higher than the first preset water level is not much, the embodiment of the present application can continue to be executed. However, if the value higher than the first preset water level is large, it will cause a large amount of water to be heated in the subsequent heating process, which is similar to the existing solution and also requires more energy consumption, which cannot achieve the purpose of the embodiment of the present application, that is, to achieve energy saving. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately control the first preset water level.

[0078] In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, the specific values ​​of the second water inlet speed and the first water inlet speed are not limited, and can be customized according to one or more information such as different clothing processing device models, different required water inlet volumes, different water inlet pipe sizes, etc.

[0079] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, after the water inflow meets the preset conditions, the inner tub can be controlled to start rotating at a preset washing rhythm, and the washing rhythm may include: clockwise rotation and counterclockwise rotation are performed alternately once. In the washing rhythm, there is no restriction on the specific rotation speed of the inner tub, and the speed can be customized according to different models of laundry processing devices, different amounts of laundry, and other information.

[0080] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, a pause moment is included between the alternating processes of clockwise rotation and counterclockwise rotation between each washing beat. There is no specific restriction on the length of the pause moment, and it can be customized according to different types of clothing processing devices, different amounts of clothing, different inner barrel rotation speeds, different motor powers and other information.

[0081] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, after the inner drum rotates for multiple washing cycles, the clothes in the inner drum can be repeatedly tumbled, so that the clothes absorb some water. At this time, the water level in the outer drum will inevitably decrease. Therefore, after executing multiple washing cycles (such as 3-6), water can be replenished into the outer drum once or multiple times, and the water can be replenished to the first preset water level.

[0082] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, how to judge whether the water has been replenished to the first preset water level during the water replenishment process can be judged according to one or more schemes such as the water replenishment amount, the water replenishment time and the detection by a preset water level detection device. Each scheme is introduced in detail below.

[0083] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, during the process of replenishing water to the first preset water level, the method may further include:

[0084] During the water replenishment process, the water replenishment amount is detected, and when the water replenishment amount has reached a first set water amount, the water replenishment can be stopped.

[0085] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, before replenishing water, the amount of water required to replenish water to a first preset water level (i.e., a first set water volume) can be determined based on one or more information such as the amount of clothes (for example, weight, which can be obtained by a weighing device provided on the clothing processing device), the material of the clothes (which can be determined by the washing material option selected by the user before washing), the water absorbency of the clothes (which can be determined based on the material of the clothes), the bottom area of ​​the outer barrel, the inner diameter of the outer barrel, the shape of the outer barrel, etc. The specific determination scheme for the amount of water to be replenished is not specifically limited herein, and can be determined based on empirical values, empirical calculation formulas, a preset water replenishment algorithm (which may include any currently existing and implementable water replenishment determination scheme), etc.

[0086] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, after the required water replenishment amount is determined, water replenishment can be performed once or multiple times so that the water level in the outer barrel gradually reaches the first preset water level.

[0087] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, when a one-time water replenishment is performed, the calculated water replenishment amount can be discharged into the outer barrel at one time. When multiple water replenishments are performed, the water can be replenished into the outer barrel multiple times, and the water replenishment amount of each replenishment is recorded. When the sum of the corresponding water replenishment amounts each time during the multiple water replenishment process reaches the pre-calculated required water replenishment amount, it is determined that the water has been replenished to the first preset water level, and the water replenishment can be stopped.

[0088] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, after the required water replenishment amount is calculated, the required water replenishment amount can be divided into multiple portions, so that each portion corresponds to one water replenishment. The division can be equal or not, that is, when replenishing water multiple times, the water replenishment amount each time can be the same or different.

[0089] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the time interval between two water replenishments during multiple water replenishment processes may be the same or different, and the specific duration of each time interval is not limited in detail and can be defined according to needs. The needs may include but are not limited to: soaking the clothes for a certain period of time to soften the hard stains on the clothes.

[0090] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the replenishing of water to the first preset water level may also include:

[0091] During the water replenishment process, the water replenishment duration is detected, and when the water replenishment duration has reached a first set duration, the water replenishment can be stopped.

[0092] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, before water replenishment, when the water replenishment speed is determined, the water replenishment time required to replenish water to the first preset water level can be determined based on one or more information such as the amount of clothes (for example, weight, which can be obtained by a weighing device provided on the clothing processing device), the material of the clothes (which can be determined by the washing material option selected by the user before washing), the water absorption of the clothes (which can be determined based on the material of the clothes), the bottom area of ​​the outer barrel, the inner diameter of the outer barrel, the shape of the outer barrel, etc. The specific determination scheme for the water replenishment time is not specifically limited herein, and can be determined based on empirical values, empirical calculation formulas, preset water replenishment time algorithms (which may include any currently existing and implementable water replenishment time determination schemes), etc.

[0093] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, after the required water replenishment time is determined, water replenishment can be performed once or multiple times according to the required water replenishment time, so that the water level in the outer barrel gradually reaches the first preset water level.

[0094] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, when one-time water replenishment is performed, the outer barrel can be replenished with water for the required water replenishment time at one time, so that the water level is replenished to the first preset water level at one time. When multiple water replenishments are performed, water can be replenished into the outer barrel multiple times, and the water replenishment time of each water replenishment is recorded. When the sum of the corresponding water replenishment time in each water replenishment process (excluding the time interval in between) during the multiple water replenishment processes reaches the pre-calculated required water replenishment time, it can be determined that the water has been replenished to the first preset water level, so the water replenishment can be stopped.

[0095] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, after the required water replenishment time is calculated, the required water replenishment time can be divided into multiple parts, so that each water replenishment time corresponds to one water replenishment. The division can be equal or unequal, that is, when there are multiple water replenishments, the water replenishment time for each replenishment can be the same or different.

[0096] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the time interval between two water replenishments during multiple water replenishment processes may be the same or different, and the specific duration of each time interval is not limited in detail and can be defined according to needs. The needs may include but are not limited to: soaking the clothes for a certain period of time to soften the hard stains on the clothes.

[0097] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the replenishing of water to the first preset water level may include:

[0098] During the water replenishment process, the water level detected by a preset water level detection device can be collected, and when it is detected that the water level reaches a first preset water level, the water replenishment can be stopped.

[0099] In the exemplary embodiments of the present application, one or more water level detection devices can be set on the clothing processing device, and when there are multiple water level detection devices, the types of the multiple water level detection devices can be the same or different. There is no limitation on the specific setting position, specific number, specific type, specific working principle, etc. of the water level detection device, and any water level detection device that can be applied to the embodiment scheme of the present application can be adopted.

[0100] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, when the water level detection device detects that the water level in the outer barrel reaches a first preset water level, the water inlet valve can be controlled to close, thereby stopping the water inlet.

[0101] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, any preset water level (including the aforementioned third preset water level) in the water intake process (including the water replenishment process) can be detected by the above-mentioned water replenishment amount (which can correspond to the water intake amount), water replenishment time (which can correspond to the water intake time), water level detection device and other schemes.

[0102] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, collecting the water level detected by the water level detection device during the water replenishment process may include:

[0103] The water level is collected during the pauses in each washing cycle.

[0104] In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, it can be known from the above scheme that when the water inflow reaches the preset condition, the inner barrel can be controlled to start rotating at the preset washing rhythm. However, since the water in the outer barrel will inevitably be stirred during the rotation of the inner barrel, the water level will be unstable. In the process of continuing to replenish water, it is not easy to detect whether the water level has reached the set water level (such as the first preset water level) through the water level detection device. However, considering that during the rotation of the inner barrel at the preset washing rhythm, each washing rhythm will include an alternation of clockwise rotation and counterclockwise rotation, however, during the alternation of clockwise rotation and counterclockwise rotation of the inner barrel, there must be a pause in the middle to change the rotation direction. At this pause, the water level of the outer barrel is relatively stable due to the agitation of the inner barrel. Therefore, the water level detected at this stage is relatively accurate. Therefore, during the rotation of the inner barrel at the preset washing rhythm, the water level detection device can perform water level detection at the pause in each washing rhythm to increase the effectiveness of detecting the water level and improve the detection accuracy.

[0105] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, water level detection can be performed periodically by a water level detection device. For example, the water level is detected once every time the inner barrel rotates one or more beats. The detection period should be neither too long nor too short, so as to avoid failure to detect in time when the water level has reached the first preset water level due to a period that is too long, and unnecessary internal friction due to a period that is too short.

[0106] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, after the water level successfully reaches the first preset water level, the amount of water corresponding to the first preset water level is also a smaller amount of water, which is not the amount of water required for normal washing. At this time, the water can be heated so that the heating device heats the smaller amount of water. Compared with the existing solution that directly heats the normal amount of water required for washing (larger amount of water), energy consumption is greatly reduced, and a water-saving and electricity-saving washing effect is achieved.

[0107] In the exemplary embodiments of the present application, there is no specific restriction on the heating power during the heating process, and it can be defined according to the washing time required by the user, the amount of water corresponding to the first preset water level and other information. For example, if the washing time required by the user is shorter (such as the quick wash function is selected) and / or the amount of water corresponding to the first preset water level is larger, a larger heating power (such as full power) can be used for heating. Conversely, if the user has no requirements for the washing time (such as the regular wash function is selected) and / or the amount of water corresponding to the first preset water level is smaller, a smaller heating power can be used for heating to further save energy.

[0108] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the first washing temperature may satisfy the following temperature range: 30°C-50°C.

[0109] In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, 40° C. can be specifically selected. Generally, a water temperature of about 40° C. is the most suitable washing temperature.

[0110] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, after the heating starts, the water temperature can be heated to an optimal washing temperature (such as a first washing temperature), and maintained at the optimal washing temperature for a period of time (such as a first duration). During the first duration, the inner barrel can maintain a preset washing rhythm and continue to rotate, thereby washing the clothes at the optimal washing temperature.

[0111] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, warm water (especially at the optimal washing temperature) can accelerate the dissolution of the detergent, and the active substances in the washing process quickly act on the surface of the clothes through the dissolution in water and the continuous mixing between the clothes. The active substances in the detergent and the added enzymes are under the action of warm water (generally 40°C is an ideal temperature, and the temperature will be adjusted according to the characteristics of the stains). After a period of time (the first period of time) after the mechanical force of washing and the chemical force of the detergent act, the interaction between the stains on the surface and inside of the clothing fibers and the fibers is weakened, and they gradually fall off to the surface of the clothes or in the washing water.

[0112] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the first duration can be adjusted differently according to information such as different amounts of clothing, different clothing materials, and different pollutants, and the specific value of the first duration is not limited.

[0113] In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, the cleaning effect of the clothes is guaranteed through the above-mentioned high-temperature washing process.

[0114] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, after washing the clothes at the optimal washing temperature for a period of time, the stains on the clothes have gradually fallen off, but at this time the washing water is relatively small, and the stains remain on the surface and cannot be completely dissolved in the washing water. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to add water to flush the stains into the water.

[0115] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, water may continue to flow in to a second preset water level at this time, and the second preset water level may be a water level height corresponding to a normal amount of water required in a normal washing process of clothes.

[0116] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the step of filling the outer barrel with water to a second preset water level may include:

[0117] Determining that the incoming water has not reached the second preset water level, controlling the inner tub not to rotate, determining that the incoming water has reached the second preset water level, controlling the inner tub to rotate, and replenishing water into the outer tub during the rotation of the inner tub; or

[0118] During the process of water intake to the second preset water level, the inner barrel is controlled to rotate, and during the rotation of the inner barrel, water is replenished into the outer barrel.

[0119] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, when water is introduced to the second preset water level, the water may be introduced to the second preset water level at one time or in multiple times.

[0120] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, when water is inletted to the second preset water level at one time, the water inlet speed during the water inlet process may remain unchanged or may be inletted at a variable water inlet speed.

[0121] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, when water is introduced at a variable water inlet speed, for example, the water inlet speed is relatively fast for a period of time at the beginning of water introduction, and the water inlet speed can be gradually reduced when the second preset water level is about to be reached. Alternatively, before the water inlet reaches a certain amount (which can be measured by the volume or weight of water), the water can be introduced at a relatively fast water inlet speed, and after the water inlet reaches a certain amount, the water can be introduced at a relatively slow water inlet speed.

[0122] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, when water is added to the second preset water level in multiple times, water can be added first to meet the preset conditions, for example, the water level reaches a fourth preset water level. The fourth preset water level can be a water level that submerges the clothes, and this water level can make the clothes completely immersed in water.

[0123] In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, there is no restriction on the specific water level height of the fourth preset water level, and it can be customized according to information such as different types of clothing processing devices, different distances between the inner barrel and the outer barrel, different capacities of the outer barrel, and different shapes of the outer barrel and the inner barrel.

[0124] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the method may further include: in the process of water entering from the first preset water level to the second preset water level, determining that water enters the second preset water level by any one or more of the following schemes:

[0125] Detecting the water inflow, and when the water inflow reaches a second set water volume, determining that the water level reaches the second preset water level;

[0126] detecting a water inflow duration, and when the water inflow duration reaches a second set duration, determining that the water level reaches the second preset water level; and,

[0127] The water level detected by the preset water level detection device is collected, and whether the water level reaches the second preset water level is determined according to the collected water level value.

[0128] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, before water is introduced, the amount of water required to enter from the first preset water level to the second preset water level (i.e., the second set water volume) can be determined based on one or more information such as the amount of clothes (for example, weight, which can be obtained by a weighing device provided on the clothes processing device), the material of the clothes (which can be determined by the washing material option selected by the user before washing), the water absorption of the clothes (which can be determined based on the material of the clothes), the bottom area of ​​the outer barrel, the inner diameter of the outer barrel, the shape of the outer barrel, etc. The specific determination scheme for the second set water volume is not specifically limited herein, and can be determined based on empirical values, empirical calculation formulas, preset water replenishment algorithms (which may include any currently existing and implementable water replenishment determination schemes), etc.

[0129] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, after the second set water volume is determined, water may be added once or multiple times so that the water level in the outer barrel gradually reaches the second preset water level.

[0130] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, when a one-time water filling is performed, the calculated second set water volume can be injected into the outer barrel all at once. When multiple water replenishments are performed, the water can be replenished into the outer barrel multiple times, and the water intake volume of each replenishment is recorded during each water replenishment. When the sum of the corresponding water intake volumes each time during the multiple water filling processes reaches the pre-calculated second set water volume, it is determined that the water has filled in to the second preset water level, and the water replenishment can be stopped.

[0131] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, after calculating the second set water volume, the second set water volume can be divided into multiple portions, so that each portion corresponds to one water inflow. The division can be performed in equal amounts or not, that is, in multiple water inflows, the water inflow volume each time can be the same or different.

[0132] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the time interval between two water inflows during multiple water inflows may be the same or different, and the specific duration of each time interval is not limited in detail and can be defined according to needs. The needs may include but are not limited to: soaking the clothes for a certain period of time to soften the hard stains on the clothes.

[0133] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, water replenishment can be performed once or multiple times after the water enters the fourth preset water level. When the water is replenished from the fourth preset water level to the second preset water level, the process of replenishing from the fourth preset water level to the second preset water level can also be the same as the above scheme, using the replenishment water volume, replenishment time, water level detection device and other schemes to detect whether the water has been replenished to the second preset water level.

[0134] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, after the water enters to the second preset water level, the second preset water level is a higher water level than the first preset water level. By continuously replenishing water to maintain the washing water level at the second preset water level, and keeping washing at the second preset water level until the end of the washing process, it can be ensured that the stains remaining on the surface of the clothes are dissolved into the washing water under the action of mechanical force, thereby further ensuring the cleaning effect of the clothes.

[0135] In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, the washing water temperature is also heated to the optimal washing temperature. The water volume of the embodiment of the present application is less, so that more electric energy can be saved. The technical solution adopts two-stage washing: high temperature corresponds to low water level washing, and cold water corresponds to high water level washing, so as to achieve the same washing effect on the basis of energy saving. In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, water with less heating, such as water at the first preset water level, is used to heat to the washing temperature, so that less electricity is consumed; after a period of washing after heating, the activity of the chemical force reaches the end, and then more water, such as the second preset water level, is used to quickly dissolve and dilute the stains, so as to achieve the same washing effect on the basis of energy saving.
