[0047] Exemplary embodiments of this application will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of this application are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this application may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of this application and to fully convey the scope of this application to those skilled in the art.

[0048] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0049] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes a garment processing device and its control method, apparatus, and storage medium according to embodiments of this application.

[0050] This application provides a control method for a garment processing device. Based on the water volume and detergent dosage of the current washing program, the method automatically calculates the target solubility of the detergent in water. This target solubility is the maximum solubility achievable with the specified detergent dosage in the given water volume. The current washing program only begins when the current solubility of the detergent reaches this target solubility, ensuring optimal and uniform dissolution of the detergent. This shortens the washing time required to achieve the best washing effect and improves washing efficiency.

[0051] See Figure 1 The method specifically includes the following steps:

[0052] Step 101: Determine the target solubility of the detergent in the current washing program based on the water consumption and detergent dosage corresponding to the current washing program.

[0053] The execution subject of this application embodiment is a garment processing device such as a washing machine or washer-dryer combo. The user places the load to be washed into the washing tub of the garment processing device and starts the current washing program through the control panel of the garment processing device. When the garment processing device receives the start command submitted by the user, it weighs the load using a weight sensor to obtain the corresponding load weight.

[0054] In one implementation, the garment handling equipment is pre-configured with a mapping relationship between different weight ranges and water consumption. After obtaining the load weight by weighing, the weight range to which the load weight belongs is determined. The water consumption corresponding to the weight range to which the load weight belongs is obtained from the pre-configured mapping relationship, and this water consumption is determined as the water consumption corresponding to the current washing program. The water inlet device is then controlled to inject this amount of water into the washing tub.

[0055] In another implementation, the user can set the water consumption for the current washing program via the control panel. When the laundry equipment detects that the user has submitted a start command via the control panel, it obtains the water consumption corresponding to the current washing program set by the user from the control panel and controls the water inlet device to inject that amount of water into the washing tub.

[0056] After obtaining the load weight and water consumption corresponding to the current washing program using the above method, the laundry processing equipment calculates the detergent dosage for the current washing program based on the load weight and water consumption. Specifically, the laundry processing equipment is pre-configured with a mapping relationship between different weight ranges and detergent concentrations. After obtaining the load weight, the weight range to which the load weight belongs is determined. The detergent concentration corresponding to the weight range to which the load weight belongs is obtained from the mapping relationship between the weight range and detergent concentration. The product of the obtained detergent concentration and the water consumption corresponding to the current washing program is calculated, and this product is determined as the detergent dosage for the current washing program. The detergent dispensing device is then controlled to add the specified amount of detergent to the washing tub.

[0057] The system automatically determines the detergent dosage based on the load weight and water consumption, and automatically completes the detergent dispensing operation. This improves the automation level of the laundry processing equipment and simplifies user operation. Furthermore, the detergent dosage is more precisely matched to the load weight and water consumption, avoiding insufficient detergent for inadequate cleaning and excessive detergent for incomplete rinsing, thus improving washing results.

[0058] In other embodiments of this application, the user can add detergent manually and set the detergent dosage via a control panel. When the laundry processing equipment detects a start command submitted by the user, it obtains the user-set detergent dosage from the control panel and controls the detergent dispensing device to add that dosage of detergent into the washing tub.

[0059] After determining the water and detergent dosage for the current washing program using the methods described above, the target solubility of the detergent in the current washing program is determined based on these dosages. The target solubility is the maximum degree of solubility the detergent can achieve with a given water and detergent dosage.

[0060] In one implementation, the degree of detergent solubility can be represented by the conductivity of the solution in the washing tub. After the detergent is added to the water, the conductivity of the solution continuously increases as the detergent dissolves, eventually stabilizing. This application's embodiments have determined, through numerous experiments, the solution conductivity ranges corresponding to different water volumes and detergent dosages. The lower limit of this conductivity range is greater than or equal to the conductivity corresponding to the inflection point where the conductivity stabilizes during detergent dissolution. After extensive testing, a mapping relationship between water volume, detergent dosage, and solution conductivity ranges is pre-configured in the garment processing equipment. Based on the water volume and detergent dosage corresponding to the current washing program, the garment processing equipment obtains the corresponding solution conductivity range from this pre-configured mapping relationship and determines this range as the target degree of detergent solubility in the current washing program.

[0061] In another implementation, the degree of detergent solubility can be represented by the solution concentration in the washing tub. After the detergent is added to the water, the solution concentration continuously increases as the detergent dissolves, eventually stabilizing. This application's embodiments have determined, through numerous experiments, the solution concentration ranges corresponding to different water volumes and detergent dosages. The lower limit of this solution concentration range is greater than or equal to the solution concentration corresponding to the inflection point where the solution concentration stabilizes during the detergent dissolution process. After extensive testing, a mapping relationship between water volume, detergent dosage, and solution concentration ranges is pre-configured in the garment processing equipment. Based on the water volume and detergent dosage corresponding to the current washing program, the garment processing equipment obtains the corresponding solution concentration range from this pre-configured mapping relationship and determines this solution concentration range as the target degree of detergent solubility in the current washing program.

[0062] After the detergent is added to the washing tub by the detergent dispensing device, it begins to dissolve in the water. To accelerate the dissolution process, an air pump can be installed on the garment processing equipment. This air pump blows air into the washing tub, generating bubbles that agitate the water flow and thus speed up the detergent dissolution. The air pump can blow air in from the bottom or side of the washing tub. This embodiment does not specify the exact location of the air inlet, as long as it is covered by water and the air pump generates bubbles to agitate the water flow.

[0063] As an example, garment processing equipment with anti-color bleeding function is usually equipped with an air pump. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a garment treatment device with anti-color bleeding function is shown. This device includes an air pump, an ozone generator, and a catalyst chamber. The air pump blows air, which, after passing through the ozone generator, travels with the generated ozone to the catalyst chamber. There, a chemical reaction occurs with the catalyst, generating active particles. These active particles are then injected into the washing tub to prevent color bleeding. In this embodiment, the garment treatment device can use an air pump to blow air into the washing tub to accelerate detergent dissolution.

[0064] Using an air pump to generate bubbles and agitate the water flow can greatly improve the solubility of detergent. For example... Figure 3 The results show that, under the same water volume and detergent dosage, the solution conductivity achieved by agitating the water with an air pump is 842, while the conductivity achieved without agitation is only 346. The detergent dissolution rate with the air pump is approximately 2.5 times faster than without it. Therefore, using an air pump to agitate the water significantly improves detergent dissolution, ensuring thorough dissolution and thus enhancing washing effectiveness.

[0065] An air pump blows air into the washing tub, generating bubbles in the water. As the bubbles move through the water, they agitate the water flow, which accelerates the dissolution and diffusion of the detergent, greatly shortening the time it takes for the detergent to reach its maximum dissolution level, and thus reducing the washing time.

[0066] In some other embodiments of this application, heating can also be used to accelerate the dissolution rate of the detergent. Specifically, after the detergent is added to the washing tub, the heating element can be turned on to maintain the water temperature in the tub within a preset temperature range. During the heating process, a temperature sensor monitors the water temperature in the tub in real time. When the water temperature is detected to be higher than the upper limit of the preset temperature range, the heating element is turned off. When the water temperature is detected to be higher than the lower limit of the preset temperature range, the heating element is turned on again. The preset temperature range can be 35℃-45℃, 40℃-50℃, etc.

[0067] Heating the water in the tub with a heating element raises the water temperature. As the water temperature increases, the movement of water molecules accelerates, causing detergent molecules to diffuse rapidly and increasing the detergent's dissolution rate. This shortens the time it takes for the detergent to reach maximum dissolution, thus reducing washing time. Furthermore, the increased water temperature also enhances the activity of enzymes in the detergent, resulting in a more thorough cleaning of the contents.

[0068] After determining the target solubility of the detergent using the above method and adding the detergent to the washing tub, step 102 is used to check whether the current solubility of the detergent has reached the target solubility.

[0069] Step 102: Determine that the current solubility of the detergent in the washing tub has reached the target solubility, and start the current washing program.

[0070] After the detergent dispensing device in the laundry processing equipment dispenses detergent into the washing tub, it uses sensors to monitor the current solubility of the solution in the tub in real time. In an embodiment where the conductivity of the solution represents the degree of detergent solubility, a conductivity sensor collects the current conductivity of the solution in the washing tub in real time. It determines whether the current conductivity falls within the conductivity range corresponding to the target solubility determined in step 101. If so, it is determined that the current solubility of the detergent has reached the target solubility, and the current washing program begins. If not, the current conductivity of the solution continues to be monitored.

[0071] Assessing detergent solubility using solution conductivity provides a more accurate representation of the true degree of detergent dissolution, improving the accuracy of solubility detection. Washing should only begin when the current conductivity falls within the range corresponding to the target solubility level, ensuring the detergent is fully dissolved before starting the wash cycle and avoiding uneven dissolution that could lead to poor washing results.

[0072] In the embodiment where the solubility of detergent is represented by solution concentration, the current solution concentration in the washing tub is collected in real time by a detergent concentration sensor. It is determined whether the current solution concentration falls within the solution concentration range corresponding to the target solubility determined in step 101. If so, it is determined that the current solubility of the detergent has reached the target solubility, and the current washing program is started. If not, the current solution concentration in the washing tub is continuously monitored.

[0073] The detergent concentration sensor mentioned above can be a liquid concentration sensor used to detect solution concentration or a sensor specifically designed to detect detergent concentration.

[0074] Assessing detergent solubility through solution concentration provides a more accurate representation of the detergent's true solubility, improving the accuracy of solubility testing. Washing should only begin when the current solution concentration falls within the range corresponding to the target solubility level. This ensures the detergent is fully dissolved before starting the wash, avoiding uneven dissolution that could lead to poor washing results.

[0075] In the embodiment where an air pump generates bubbles to agitate the water flow and accelerate detergent dissolution, after determining that the current degree of detergent dissolution has reached the target degree of dissolution using the method provided in any of the above embodiments, the air pump is further controlled to stop blowing air into the washing tub to save energy. If the current washing program still requires... Figure 2 To prevent cross-contamination, the ozone generator, air pump, and catalyst chamber shown are configured as follows: the air pump remains on.

[0076] In the embodiment where the detergent dissolution is accelerated by heating with a heating element, after determining that the current degree of detergent dissolution has reached the target degree of dissolution by means of any of the above embodiments, the heating element is also controlled to be turned off to save energy.

[0077] To facilitate understanding of the control method provided in the embodiments of this application, the following description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 4As shown, S1: Obtain the load weight of the load and the water consumption corresponding to the current washing program. S2: Calculate the detergent dosage corresponding to the current washing program based on the load weight and water consumption, and then execute step S4. S3: Based on the water consumption and detergent dosage, obtain the corresponding solution conductivity range as the target solubility of the detergent from the pre-configured mapping relationship between water consumption, detergent dosage, and solution conductivity range. S4: Control the detergent dispensing device to add the detergent dosage to the washing tub. S5: Control the air pump to blow air into the washing tub to generate bubbles and agitate the water flow; and / or, control the heating element to start heating to maintain the water temperature in the tub within the preset temperature range. S6: Collect the current conductivity of the solution in the washing tub through the conductivity sensor. S7: Determine whether the current conductivity is within the above-mentioned solution conductivity range. If yes, execute steps S8 and S9; if no, return to step S6. S8: Determine that the current solubility of the detergent has reached the target solubility, and control the current washing program to start washing. S9: Control the air pump to stop blowing air into the washing tub.

[0078] Figure 4 The example used is to illustrate the degree of detergent solubility by expressing conductivity, while the control process using solution concentration to express the degree of detergent solubility is different. Figure 4 The similarities are not elaborated upon here.

[0079] In this embodiment, the target solubility of the detergent in water is automatically calculated based on the water consumption and detergent dosage of the current washing program. The solubility is assessed using conductivity or solution concentration. The washing program only begins when the current solubility reaches the target solubility, ensuring optimal and uniform dissolution of the detergent. This shortens the washing time required to achieve the best washing effect and improves washing efficiency.
