Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clothing handling equipment technology, and in particular to a washing machine and its control method, a computer device and a readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Washing machines are one of the most commonly used household appliances in people's daily lives. They bring convenience to people's lives. Most washing machines on the market today are fully automatic, with automatic water filling functions; users only need to select a washing program, and the washing machine will recommend the default water volume.

[0003] However, sometimes when users add clothes midway through the washing cycle, the original water intake may not be sufficient to meet the washing needs, or the user may select the wrong washing program, resulting in the default water intake not achieving the desired washing effect, which will reduce the washing effect of the washing machine and the user experience.

[0004] Therefore, how to intelligently adjust the water intake of washing machines has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a washing machine and its control method, computer device and readable storage medium to solve the problem that the default water intake provided by existing washing machines cannot be changed with the change of application scenario, thereby improving the washing effect of the washing machine and the user experience.

[0006] A first aspect of this application provides a washing machine, including: a washing tub, a water inlet valve connected to the washing tub, and a controller configured to:

[0007] In response to changes in motor power, the target water volume is calculated based on the motor power.

[0008] Control the water inlet valve to open so that the water inlet valve injects the target amount of water into the washing tub.

[0009] In conjunction with the first implementation of the first aspect, prior to the step of calculating the target water volume based on the motor power in response to a change in motor power, the controller is also configured to:

[0010] Determine the preset water intake based on the selected washing program;

[0011] Control the water inlet valve to open so that the water inlet valve injects the preset amount of water into the washing tub.

[0012] Combining the second implementation method of the first aspect, the steps for calculating the target water volume based on the motor power include:

[0013] The difference between the changed motor power and the original motor power is determined as the change in motor power. The target water volume is determined based on the change in motor power.

[0014] The total water volume is determined based on the target water volume and the preset water inflow volume.

[0015] Combining the third implementation method of the first aspect, the steps for calculating the target water volume based on the motor power include:

[0016] The total water volume is determined based on the changed power of the motor;

[0017] The difference between the total water volume and the preset inflow volume is determined as the target water volume.

[0018] In conjunction with the fourth implementation method of the first aspect, the washing machine has a manual water inlet mode that is manually turned on / off, and the controller is also configured as follows:

[0019] If manual water intake mode is enabled, obtain the manual water intake volume;

[0020] The total water volume is determined based on the manual water intake and the preset water intake.

[0021] In conjunction with the fifth implementation of the first aspect, the washing machine also includes a drain valve connected to the washing tub, and each washing program corresponds to at least one subroutine;

[0022] If the washing program includes at least two subroutines; after the step of controlling the inlet valve to open so that the inlet valve outputs the target water volume, the controller is also configured to:

[0023] Control the drain valve to open and drain the water from the washing tub;

[0024] Control the drain valve to close;

[0025] In response to proceeding to the next subroutine, the water inlet valve is opened to allow the water inlet valve to inject the total amount of water into the washing tub.

[0026] In conjunction with the sixth implementation method of the first aspect, the controller is also configured as follows:

[0027] In response to the completion of this washing cycle, the total water volume is deleted.

[0028] The washing machine provided in this application can determine whether a target amount of water needs to be added based on changes in motor power during operation. Since the motor power is a fixed value when the water-to-clothes ratio remains constant during washing machine operation, a change in motor power indicates that the user has added clothes, altering the water-to-clothes ratio and thus requiring increased water for better washing results. Therefore, this application determines the target amount of water to add based on changes in motor power, avoiding insufficient water leading to poor washing performance.

[0029] A second aspect of this application provides a washing machine control method, the method comprising:

[0030] In response to changes in motor power, the target water volume is calculated based on the motor power.

[0053] As people's living standards improve, washing machines are becoming increasingly widely used. Washing machines solve laundry problems and bring convenience to people's lives. Most washing machines on the market today are fully automatic, with automatic water filling capabilities; users simply select a washing program, and the machine will recommend the default water level.

[0054] However, sometimes when users add clothes midway through the washing cycle, the original water volume may not be sufficient for the washing needs, or the user may select the wrong washing program, resulting in the default water volume not achieving the desired washing effect, which will reduce the washing effect of the washing machine and the user experience.

[0055] Figure 1 The diagram shows a flow chart of a washing machine's washing program in the prior art. In the prior art, after the user selects a washing program, the washing machine fills with water to the preset water level and then begins to run according to the set washing program. If the user adds clothes midway through the cycle, the subsequent washing programs will still fill with water according to the preset water volume, resulting in insufficient water to achieve the desired washing effect; or the user needs to select a washing program again, affecting the user experience.

[0056] Therefore, how to intelligently adjust the water intake of washing machines has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0057] To address the aforementioned problems, embodiments of this application provide a washing machine, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the washing machine includes: a washing tub 21, a water inlet valve 22 connected to the washing tub, and a controller 23. It should be understood that... Figure 2 Only some of the components of the washing machine are shown; the washing machine may also contain other components not shown.

[0058] The washing tub 21 is used to hold clothes and detergent and perform the washing task.

[0059] The water inlet valve 22 is a valve installed at the water inlet pipe of the washing machine to cut off the water flow. It may include a main valve, a bypass valve and its operating mechanism (not shown in the figure) to realize the water inlet task of the washing machine.

[0060] The controller 23 is configured to calculate the target water volume based on the motor power in response to a change in motor power; and to control the water inlet valve to open so that the water inlet valve injects the target water volume into the washing tub.

[0061] The washing machine provided in this application can determine whether a target amount of water needs to be added based on changes in the motor power during washing machine operation. Since the motor power is a fixed value when the water-to-clothes ratio remains constant during washing machine operation, a change in motor power indicates that the user has added clothes, altering the water-to-clothes ratio and thus requiring increased water for better washing results. Therefore, this application determines the target amount of water to add based on changes in motor power, avoiding situations where insufficient water leads to poor washing performance.

[0062] In some embodiments, when using a washing machine to wash clothes, the user selects a washing program based on one of the parameters—weight, texture, and degree of soiling—or other parameters of the clothes. After the user selects a washing program and begins washing, the washing machine determines the preset water intake based on a data table stored within the machine and displays the water volume used for this washing program on the machine's screen. Because the washing parameters differ in different washing programs, the preset water intake used during washing also varies.

[0063] For example, if a user selects the "large item wash" program, the washing machine will determine the preset water intake to be 50L based on the correspondence between the washing program and the water volume; if the user selects the "standard wash" program, the washing machine will determine the preset water intake to be 40L based on the correspondence between the washing program and the water volume.

[0064] As a feasible implementation method, before the step of calculating the target water volume based on the motor power in response to changes in motor power, the controller is also configured to: determine the preset water intake volume based on the selected washing program; and control the water inlet valve to open so that the water inlet valve injects the preset water intake volume into the washing tub.

[0065] Based on the user-selected washing program, the system confirms the preset water volume for this wash cycle and controls the water inlet valve to open, allowing the preset water volume to be injected into the washing tub. Users can simply select the corresponding washing program; the washing machine's controller will select the appropriate water volume and automatically add water, eliminating the need for manual water addition and preventing inaccurate water additions that could lead to poor washing results.

[0066] In some embodiments, when a user selects a washing program, the washing machine determines the motor power during operation based on the selected program. If the motor power changes during operation, the amount of change in motor power is used as the basis for adjusting the water level in the washing machine.

[0067] As a feasible approach, the steps for calculating the target water volume based on the motor power include:

[0068] The difference between the changed motor power and the original motor power is defined as the change in motor power.

[0069] Determine the target water volume based on the change in motor power;

[0070] The total water volume is determined based on the target water volume and the preset water inflow volume.

[0071] When the user adds clothes, the motor power changes accordingly. Based on this change in motor power, the target amount of water to be added is determined, maintaining a consistent ratio of clothes to water for better washing and a more effective wash. Simultaneously, the total water volume is determined based on the target and preset water intake, facilitating water adjustment for subsequent stages of the washing program.

[0072] In other embodiments, after the user selects a washing program, the washing machine will determine the water intake based on the selected program. At the same time, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the water intake and the motor power. If the motor power changes, the total water volume of the washing machine is determined according to the correspondence. Then, the target water volume that the washing machine needs to add is determined based on the difference between the total water volume and the actual water intake.

[0073] As a feasible approach, the steps for calculating the target water volume based on the motor power include:

[0074] The total water volume is determined based on the changed motor power.

[0075] The difference between the total water volume and the preset inflow volume is determined as the target water volume.

[0076] The total water required for this wash cycle is determined based on the changed motor power. Then, the target water volume to be added is determined based on the difference between the total water volume and the actual water intake. This ensures that the washing machine determines the required water volume according to the motor power value, maintaining a consistent ratio of clothes to water for better washing and a more effective wash.

[0077] In the above solution, the target water volume and total water volume are automatically determined based on the motor power information, resulting in a higher degree of automation and effectively improving the washing effect of the washing machine.

[0078] In some embodiments, if the user adds clothes and the existing water level is insufficient, the user may manually add water to adjust the water-to-clothes ratio and achieve the desired water level. As a feasible implementation, the washing machine can have a manual water inlet mode that can be manually turned on / off. Manual water inlet can be activated via a dedicated water inlet button on the control panel, or in combination with other buttons, or by pressing and holding a specific button.

[0079] As a feasible implementation method, the controller is also configured to: if the manual water intake mode is enabled, obtain the manual water intake volume; and determine the total water volume based on the manual water intake volume and the preset water intake volume.

[0080] If the user manually adds water using the manual water intake mode during the washing process, the amount of water manually added by the user will be obtained, and the amount of water added manually will be used as the total water volume of the washing machine.

[0081] For example, if a user selects a standard wash program with a default preset water volume of A liters, and after the water has filled, the user adds clothes and manually adds B liters of water using the manual water filling mode, then the total water volume in the washing machine is the sum of the preset water volume and the manually added water volume, i.e., A + B liters. As a feasible implementation method, the washing machine can determine the user's manually added water volume B based on the manual water filling time and flow rate.

[0082] In some embodiments, each washing program of the washing machine corresponds to at least one subroutine, such as Figure 3 As shown, washing program 30 includes four sub-programs: washing 31, first rinse 32, second rinse 33, and spin-drying 34. It should be understood that... Figure 3 This is merely an illustrative example illustrating an application scenario where the washing program 30 includes four subroutines. In actual applications, users can select specific washing programs and their corresponding subroutines according to their needs. This application embodiment does not impose any limitations on this.

[0083] If a user adds water during a washing cycle, the preset water intake for the washing program remains unchanged. Subsequent subroutines will continue to add water according to this preset amount, resulting in the subroutines failing to achieve the desired washing effect. To address this issue, this embodiment saves the total water volume after addition, allowing subsequent subroutines of the washing program to use this total water volume.

[0084] Generally speaking, such as Figure 4 As shown, the washing machine 20 also includes a drain valve 24 connected to the washing tub 21. The drain valve 24 is used for draining water from the washing machine. Before starting the next washing cycle, the drain valve 24 needs to be opened to drain water.

[0085] As a feasible implementation, if the washing program includes at least two subroutines, after the step of controlling the water inlet valve to open so that the water inlet valve outputs the target amount of water, the controller is also configured to: control the drain valve to open so as to drain the water in the washing tub; control the drain valve to close; and in response to proceeding to the next subroutine, control the water inlet valve to open so as to inject the total amount of water into the washing tub.

[0086] This application embodiment saves the total water volume after adding water, ensuring that the water volume of subsequent sub-processes is consistent with the water volume after the user manually adds water. This eliminates the need for the user to manually add water again in subsequent washing stages, making the operation more convenient for the user, improving the user experience and the intelligence level of the machine.

[0087] Since the above process involves the user selecting a washing program and adding clothes, resulting in an increase in the total water volume, in order not to affect the user's next washing process, the water volume adjustment of the washing program in this embodiment is only performed within the current washing program. Once the current washing program is completed, the total water volume is deleted to restore it to the default state, i.e., the preset water volume corresponding to the washing program.

[0088] As one feasible implementation, the controller is also configured to delete the total water volume in response to the completion of the current washing cycle.

[0089] After the entire washing cycle is completed, the total water volume is cleared and the system default settings are restored, ensuring that the washing machine adjusts the water volume only within a single washing cycle. This means that after the user restarts a washing cycle, all parameters remain at their default settings, preventing adjustments to the water intake from affecting subsequent washing cycles.

[0090] For example, if the user adds clothes or manually adds water during the washing cycle, the washing machine will retain the total water volume after adding water, so that the water volume for the first and second rinses is the total water volume. If the user adds clothes or manually adds water during the first rinse, the washing machine will adjust the water volume for the second rinse, so that the water volume for the second rinse is the total water volume. If the user adds clothes or manually adds water during the second rinse, since there are no subsequent sub-routes that require water, the washing machine will not adjust the water volume.

[0091] Adding too much water dilutes the detergent, lowering the concentration needed for optimal washing and thus affecting the cleanliness of clothes. As a feasible solution, the washing machine can prompt the user to add more detergent after adding water, thereby increasing the detergent concentration and ensuring proper cleaning of clothes.

[0092] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, a user's laundry process may include the following steps:

[0093] S501. The user selects the washing program; S502. The washing machine fills with water to the preset water level; S503. It is determined whether the user adds clothes midway through the cycle; S504. It is determined whether the user manually adds water; S5051. If yes, the amount of water manually added is obtained; S5052. If no, the target amount of water to be added is determined based on the change in motor power; S506. The total amount of water after adding water is calculated; S507. The washing cycle continues.

[0094] After the user selects a washing program and begins washing, the washing machine starts filling with water according to the preset water volume for that program. If the user adds clothes midway through the cycle, the machine determines whether the user wants to manually add water using the manual water filling mode. If the user adds water manually, the total water volume is calculated based on the manually added water volume. If the user does not add water manually, the target water volume is calculated based on the change in motor power, and then the total water volume after adding water is calculated. The washing machine continues washing with the total water volume added.

[0095] This application also provides a washing machine control method. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 The control methods include:

[0096] S601. In response to changes in motor power, the target water volume is calculated based on the motor power.

[0097] S602. Control the water inlet valve to open so that the water inlet valve injects the target amount of water into the washing tub.

[0098] Since the motor power remains constant when the water-to-clothes ratio is constant during washing machine operation, a change in motor power indicates that the user has added clothes, altering the water-to-clothes ratio and consequently changing the motor power. Therefore, more water is needed for better washing results. This embodiment of the application controls the water inlet valve to add water based on changes in motor power, preventing insufficient water from causing poor washing performance.

[0099] As a feasible way to achieve this, such as Figure 7 As shown, before the step of calculating the target water volume based on the motor power in response to a change in motor power, the method further includes:

[0100] S701. Determine the preset water intake volume based on the selected washing program.

[0101] S702. Control the water inlet valve to open so that the water inlet valve injects a preset amount of water into the washing tub.

[0102] Based on the user-selected washing program, the machine confirms the preset water volume for the current wash cycle and controls the water inlet valve to open, allowing the preset water volume to be injected into the washing tub. When using the washing machine, the user can simply select the appropriate washing program based on the type of clothing. The washing machine will determine the corresponding water volume and automatically add water, eliminating the need for manual water addition and avoiding issues such as inaccurate water addition by the user leading to poor washing results.

[0103] As a feasible way to achieve this, such as Figure 8 As shown, the steps for calculating the target water volume based on the motor power include:

[0104] S801. Determine the change in motor power.

[0105] S802. Determine the target water volume based on the change in motor power.

[0106] S803. Determine the total water volume based on the target water volume and the preset water inflow volume.

[0107] The difference between the changed motor power and the original motor power is used as the change in motor power. This change in motor power is then used to determine the target amount of water to be added. Since the motor power changes as the user adds clothes during the wash cycle, this change in power determines the amount of water needed to maintain a consistent ratio of clothes to water for better washing and a more effective wash. The total water volume is calculated based on the target water volume and the preset water intake volume to control subsequent subroutines.

[0108] As another feasible way to achieve this, such as Figure 9 As shown, the steps for calculating the target water volume based on the motor power include:

[0109] S901. Determine the total water volume based on the changed motor power.

[0110] S902. The difference between the total water volume and the preset inlet water volume is determined as the target water volume.

[0111] The total water required for this wash cycle is determined based on the changed motor power. Then, the target water volume to be added is determined based on the difference between the total water volume and the actual water intake. This ensures that the washing machine determines the required water volume according to the motor power value, maintaining a consistent ratio of clothes to water for better washing results.

[0112] As a feasible implementation method, if the user manually adds water using the manual water intake mode during the washing process, the user's manual water intake volume is obtained, and the total water volume is determined based on the manual water intake volume and the preset water intake volume.

[0113] As a feasible way to achieve this, such as Figure 10 As shown, if the washing program includes at least two subroutines, after the step of controlling the water inlet valve to open so that the water inlet valve outputs the target amount of water, the method further includes:

[0114] S1001. Control the drain valve to open and drain the water from the washing tub.

[0115] S1002, Control the drain valve to close.

[0116] S1003, in response to proceeding to the next subroutine, control the opening of the water inlet valve.

[0117] After each sub-cycle is completed, the water inlet valve needs to be opened to drain the water from the washing tub. After the water is drained, the drain valve is closed to refill the washing tub. The washing machine saves the total water volume after adding water, ensuring that the water volume for subsequent sub-cycles is consistent with the total water volume after adding water. This eliminates the need for users to manually add water again in subsequent washing stages, simplifying user operation, improving user experience, and enhancing the machine's intelligence.

[0118] As a feasible implementation method, the control method also includes: deleting the total water volume in response to the completion of this washing program.

[0119] In this embodiment, water volume adjustments for the washing program are made only within the current washing program. Once the current washing program is complete, the total water volume is deleted, restoring it to its default state, i.e., the preset water volume corresponding to the washing program. The washing machine adjusts the water volume only within a single washing program; after the entire washing program ends, the total water volume is cleared and the system default settings are restored. This means that after the user restarts a washing program, all parameters retain their default settings, avoiding any impact on subsequent washing processes.

[0120] This application also provides a computer device, such as... Figure 11 As shown, the computer device 110 includes a memory 111 and a processor 112.
