[0054] 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.

[0055] 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.

[0056] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0057] Example One

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses an intelligent laundry detergent dispenser management system, including:

[0059] The information storage module is used to store parameter information for all spare detergent dispensers;

[0060] The monitoring and reminder module is used to generate relevant reminder information and send it to the user when it is determined that the parameter information of the spare detergent box has reached the preset reminder conditions;

[0061] The parameters of the spare laundry detergent box include at least one or more of the following: storage location, storage duration, shelf life, purchase time, inventory quantity, and laundry detergent type.

[0062] In the above solution, all the spare laundry detergent boxes refer to all unused laundry detergent boxes purchased by the user, including detergent boxes, fabric softener boxes, disinfectant boxes, softener boxes, fragrance boxes, etc.

[0063] The intelligent laundry detergent dispenser management system provided in this invention can intelligently, efficiently, and systematically monitor and manage spare laundry detergent dispensers. When it detects that the inventory of spare laundry detergent dispensers is insufficient or about to expire, it will promptly remind the user, providing convenience for the user. This effectively avoids the problem that existing smart home systems cannot effectively manage spare laundry detergent dispensers, which often leads to intermittent supply of laundry detergent dispensers or their expiration due to long-term storage.

[0064] In this embodiment, the spare laundry detergent box is provided with an identification tag, which contains a globally unique identification code for the laundry detergent box.

[0065] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the intelligent laundry detergent dispenser management system further includes:

[0066] The information acquisition module is used to identify the identification tags on each spare detergent box and obtain the information of the spare detergent box corresponding to each identification tag.

[0067] The information acquisition module is connected to the information storage module. The information acquisition module can transmit the acquired information of the spare detergent box to the information storage module for information storage.

[0068] In the above embodiments, the parameter information of the spare detergent dispenser includes one or more of the following: storage location, shelf life, purchase time, and detergent type. The information acquisition module can passively receive information such as the storage location, shelf life, purchase time, and detergent type of the detergent dispenser input by the user. For example, the user can manually input the storage location of each detergent dispenser, such as a storage room, a shower cabinet, or a laundry room.

[0069] Alternatively, the information acquisition module can also actively acquire information such as the storage location, shelf life, purchase time, and type of laundry detergent of the detergent box.

[0070] Preferably, the identification tag is an NFC tag or an RFID tag attached to the spare detergent box, and the NFC tag or RFID tag stores at least a unique code for the detergent box and the type of detergent. The information acquisition module includes an NFC reader / writer for identifying NFC tags, or an RFID reader / writer for identifying RFID tags.

[0071] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the intelligent laundry detergent box management system also includes a usage update module, used to remove and update the relevant information of the used spare laundry detergent boxes from the information storage module, so as to achieve more accurate and efficient management of the spare detergent boxes.

[0072] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the intelligent laundry detergent box management system further includes a time recording module for recording the purchase duration and / or storage duration of each spare laundry detergent box.

[0073] In one embodiment, after the information acquisition module identifies and reads the identification tags on each spare detergent box, the time recording module starts timing and records the storage time of each spare detergent box, so as to remind the user to use it when it is determined that the storage time of the spare detergent box exceeds the set time.

[0074] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the time recording module starts timing when the user begins to place an order, recording the purchase duration of each spare detergent dispenser, so as to remind the user to use it when it is determined that the purchase duration of the spare detergent dispenser exceeds the set duration.

[0075] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the intelligent laundry detergent dispenser management system further includes a trigger reminder module, used to trigger the monitoring reminder module according to the acquired trigger signal.

[0076] In the above embodiment, the triggering reminder module includes a trigger button or a trigger switch, and the trigger signal includes a switch trigger signal from the user triggering the trigger button or trigger switch. When the triggering reminder module receives a switch trigger signal from the user triggering the trigger button or trigger switch, it triggers the monitoring reminder module to start and executes the step of determining whether the parameter information of the currently available backup detergent dispenser has met the preset reminder conditions.

[0077] And / or, the triggering reminder module includes a voice receiving module. When the voice receiving module receives a voice command from the user, such as "I want to replace the fabric softener box, please recommend one", the monitoring reminder module will be activated upon receiving the voice command and will recommend relevant information to the user about the spare fabric softener box with the longest storage time, the longest purchase time, or the shortest difference between the storage time and the expiration date.

[0078] And / or, the triggering reminder module includes an additive balance detection module, and the trigger signal includes an insufficient detergent trigger signal indicating that the remaining detergent in the washing machine's dispensing device is lower than a set value. The additive balance detection module includes a liquid level detection mechanism such as a liquid level sensor or liquid level detection probe disposed in the detergent dispenser.

[0079] And / or, the trigger reminder module includes an additive cartridge replacement detection module, and the trigger signal further includes a user replacement trigger signal that detects the detergent cartridge being removed from the dispensing device of the washing machine. The additive cartridge replacement detection module includes a position sensor, pressure sensor, or infrared sensor disposed on the dispensing device for mounting the detergent cartridge.

[0080] When the additive remaining quantity detection module detects that the remaining detergent in the washing machine's dispensing device is lower than a set value, or when the additive box replacement detection module detects that the user wants to replace the detergent box, the monitoring and reminder module is activated. The module recommends the use of a detergent box of the appropriate type that is about to expire or has been stored for a long time, and sends relevant information about the detergent box to the user, such as storage location and / or remaining shelf life in days and / or storage time.

[0081] And / or, the triggering reminder module includes a time monitoring module, and the trigger signal includes a time trigger signal when a set monitoring reminder time is reached. When the time monitoring module detects that the set monitoring reminder time has been reached, the monitoring reminder module is activated and executes the step of judging whether the parameter information of the currently available spare detergent dispenser has met the preset reminder conditions. For example, it can be set to monitor and remind the spare detergent dispenser every 5, 10, or 15 days. The monitoring reminder module monitors the parameter information of the detergent dispenser periodically to avoid intermittent supply of detergent dispensers or the easy occurrence of expiration.

[0082] like Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment, the intelligent laundry detergent box management system further includes a control module, which is connected to the information storage module, monitoring and reminder module, information acquisition module, usage update module, time recording module, and trigger reminder module, and controls the collaborative work of each module.

[0083] Furthermore, the preset reminder conditions include the stock quantity of one or more types of spare laundry detergent boxes falling below a set quantity. When the monitoring and reminder module detects that the stock quantity of one or more types of spare laundry detergent boxes is below the set quantity, it generates relevant purchase reminder information and sends it to the user, reminding the user to purchase in a timely manner to avoid interruptions in the supply of laundry detergent boxes.

[0084] And / or, the preset reminder conditions also include the storage time or purchase time of the laundry detergent dispenser exceeding a set time. When the monitoring and reminder module detects that the storage time or purchase time of one or more spare laundry detergent dispensers has exceeded the set time, it sorts the dispensers that have exceeded the set time in descending order according to their storage time or purchase time when the user replaces the laundry detergent dispenser in the washing machine, and sends a recommended usage reminder to the user in that order. This effectively prevents the laundry detergent dispenser from expiring because the user forgot about it and it has been purchased for a long time without being used.

[0085] For example, if the storage period is set to 60 days, and the monitoring and reminder module detects that the storage period of the first fabric softener box is 65 days, the storage period of the second fabric softener box is 70 days, and the storage period of the third fabric softener box is 80 days, when the user replaces the fabric softener box, the third fabric softener box will be recommended to be used first, and the relevant information of the third fabric softener box will be sent to the user. The relevant information includes the storage period and / or storage location and / or shelf life of the third fabric softener box.

[0086] And / or, the preset reminder conditions also include that the difference between the storage time and the expiration date of the laundry detergent box is less than the set reminder duration. When the monitoring and reminder module detects that the time difference between the storage time and the expiration date of one or more spare laundry detergent boxes is less than the set reminder duration, it sorts them in ascending order according to the size of the time difference and sends a recommended usage reminder to the user in that order.

[0087] For example, if the set reminder duration is 30 days, and the monitoring reminder module detects that the difference between the storage time and the expiration date of the first detergent dispenser is 15 days, 20 days, or 25 days, when the user replaces the detergent dispenser, the first detergent dispenser will be recommended first, and relevant information about the first detergent dispenser will be sent to the user. This relevant information includes the storage time and / or storage location of the first detergent dispenser and / or the difference between the storage time and the expiration date.

[0088] Example Two

[0089] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a control method for the intelligent laundry detergent box management system described in Embodiment 1, based on Embodiment 1.

[0090] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0091] S101: Obtain parameter information for all spare detergent dispensers;

[0092] S102: Determine whether the parameter information of the currently available spare detergent dispenser meets the preset reminder conditions. If so, generate relevant reminder information and send it to the user.

[0093] The parameters of the spare laundry detergent box include at least one or more of the following: storage location, storage duration, shelf life, purchase time, inventory quantity, and laundry detergent type.

[0094] The control method of the intelligent laundry detergent box management system provided in this embodiment can intelligently, efficiently and systematically monitor and manage all spare laundry detergent boxes in a user's home. When it detects that the inventory of spare laundry detergent boxes is insufficient or about to expire, it will promptly remind the user to avoid supply interruptions or expiration of laundry detergent boxes, thus providing great convenience to the user.

[0095] Furthermore, combined Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, step S101 includes:

[0096] Step S101a: Periodically obtain parameter information for all spare detergent dispensers.

[0097] Specifically, the monitoring and reminder module can periodically obtain information from the spare detergent dispenser, determine whether the preset reminder conditions have been met, and if so, generate relevant reminder information and send it to the user, reducing the probability of detergent dispenser supply interruptions or expiration, providing users with certain convenience, and avoiding waste.

[0098] And / or, step S101 further includes:

[0099] Step S101b: Obtain the parameter information of the spare detergent box based on the received trigger signal.

[0100] The monitoring and reminder module can periodically monitor the parameters of the detergent dispenser and also obtain the parameters of the backup detergent dispenser based on the received trigger signal, thereby improving the intelligence and comprehensiveness of the entire intelligent detergent dispenser management system.

[0101] Preferably, the trigger signal includes: a received trigger command from the user; the trigger command includes a voice command sent by the user, and / or a mechanical touch command, such as a touch trigger button or a trigger switch.

[0102] And / or, the trigger signal further includes: detecting that the remaining detergent in one or more types of detergent dispensers in the dispensing device of the washing machine is lower than a set value.

[0103] Specifically, when the remaining detergent in one or more types of detergent dispensers in the washing machine's dispensing device falls below a set value, the monitoring and alert module is activated. This module determines whether a spare detergent dispenser of that type is available. If only one dispenser of that type is present, its relevant information, such as storage location and expiration date, is sent to the user for easy retrieval. If multiple dispensers of that type are present, they are sorted according to storage time or the difference between storage time and expiration date, and the dispenser with the longest storage time or the shortest difference between storage time and expiration date is recommended to the user. The relevant information for that dispenser is then sent to the user.

[0104] And / or, the trigger signal further includes: detecting that the detergent dispenser in the washing machine's dispensing device has been removed. The monitoring and reminder module is triggered when it is detected that the user wants to replace the detergent dispenser.

[0105] For example, a position sensor, pressure sensor, or infrared sensor is installed in the mounting slot of the detergent dispenser on the washing machine. When the position sensor, pressure sensor, or infrared sensor detects that the detergent dispenser in the mounting slot has been removed, it triggers the monitoring and reminder module to start, recommends the use of the corresponding type of detergent dispenser that is about to expire or has been stored for a long time, and sends relevant information about the detergent dispenser to the user, such as storage location and / or remaining shelf life in days and / or storage time.

[0106] Furthermore, combined Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, step S102 includes:

[0107] Step S102a: When it is determined that the inventory of one or more types of spare laundry detergent dispensers is lower than a set quantity, a purchase reminder message for that type of laundry detergent dispenser is sent to the user. This method effectively avoids the inconvenience and frustration caused by users wanting to use a certain type of laundry detergent dispenser but finding it unavailable.

[0108] And / or, step S102 further includes:

[0109] Step S102b: When it is determined that the storage time or purchase time of one or more laundry detergent containers has exceeded the set time limit, a reminder message is sent to the user to use the laundry detergent container. This method effectively avoids the problem of laundry detergent containers expiring or being forgotten due to prolonged periods of non-use after purchase, thus preventing waste.

[0110] And / or, step S102 further includes:

[0111] Step S102c: When it is determined that the difference between the storage time and the expiration date of one or more laundry detergent containers is less than the set reminder time, an expiration date reminder message for that laundry detergent container is sent to the user. This timely reminder helps the user use the detergent container before it expires, reducing losses caused by the container being unusable due to its expiration.

[0112] And / or, step S102 further includes:

[0113] Step S102d: When it is determined that the storage time of one or more laundry detergent containers exceeds their expiration date, an expiration reminder message is sent to the user for that laundry detergent container. When the laundry detergent container has expired, the user is reminded to dispose of the expired container promptly to avoid misusing expired laundry detergent, which could result in unsatisfactory garment treatment or damage to the clothes.

[0114] Furthermore, prior to step S101, the following steps are also included:

[0115] Step S100: Identify the identification tags on each spare detergent dispenser, obtain the information of the spare detergent dispenser corresponding to each identification tag, and store the information. The detergent dispenser parameter information includes at least one or more of the following: shelf life, purchase time, and detergent type.

[0116] Preferably, the identification tag is an NFC tag or RFID tag set on the spare laundry detergent box, and the NFC tag or RFID tag stores at least the unique code of the laundry detergent box and the type of laundry detergent.

[0117] Preferably, obtaining the information of the spare detergent box corresponding to each identification tag includes: the information acquisition module directly obtaining the detergent box parameter information stored in the identification tag.

[0118] Specifically, the information acquisition module includes an NFC reader or an RFID reader, which can directly obtain information about the laundry detergent box by reading information from the NFC tag or RFID tag.

[0119] And / or, it can also receive laundry detergent dispenser parameter information input by the user. Specifically, the user can manually input one or more pieces of information such as shelf life, purchase date, and laundry detergent type.

[0120] And / or, retrieve the purchase order for the laundry detergent box, and obtain the laundry detergent box parameter information from the purchase order. Specifically, the information retrieval module can retrieve the purchase orders for each laundry detergent box, and obtain relevant information about the laundry detergent box from the purchase order, such as order duration, laundry detergent type, etc., making information retrieval more convenient and efficient.

[0121] This embodiment also provides a backup laundry detergent dispenser management terminal, including a processor and a memory, wherein the memory is used to store a computer program; the computer program includes program instructions, and the processor is configured to call the program instructions to execute the control method described above.

[0122] Furthermore, the management terminal is a washing machine with network connectivity or a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone.
