Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of intelligent household appliances, in particular to a washing control method and device of a washing machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of intelligent washing machines and the improvement of living standards, household washing machines are becoming more and more complete in functions, and washing-drying integrated machines are gradually becoming the development direction of washing machines. The washing-drying integrated machine is a new intelligent washing machine that integrates washing, heating, drying and other functions in one on the basis of a fully automatic washing machine.

[0003] The water heating device in the washing-drying integrated machine usually adopts a heating pipe, which functions to heat tap water at room temperature before injecting it into the drum of the washing machine. In this way, using hot water for washing can significantly improve the washing ratio of the washing machine. For example, under other same conditions, the decontamination ability of the washing machine for clothes is greatly improved when the water temperature in the drum is 40℃ compared with the case when the water temperature in the drum is 20℃.

[0004] The drying function in the washing-drying integrated machine is usually realized by using an exhaust type dryer, the principle of which is that the motor drives the fan blade to produce hot air that is blown into the drum of the washing machine, so that the temperature inside the washing machine is increased, thus evaporating the moisture on the clothes and then discharging it outside the washing machine through the exhaust pipe, so as to dry the clothes. The water heating device and the drying heating device of the washing machine are two sets of equipment, which are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other.

[0005] After the washing machine is used for a period of time, it may fail. The existing washing machine usually has a fault detection program that can detect whether each part of the washing machine has failed. When some faults of the washing machine are detected, the control program will execute the corresponding control process according to the specific fault type.

[0006] In the related art, when the water heating device is detected to have a fault, the control program of the washing machine will skip the water heating step and continue to execute the normal washing process. Therefore, when the water heating device of the washing machine fails, the washing machine cannot heat the water in the washing drum, resulting in a significant decrease in the decontamination ability of the washing machine.

[0057] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same drawings refer to the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not meant to represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of methods and apparatuses consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0058] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a washing control method of a washing machine according to an exemplary embodiment. The method comprises the following steps:

[0059] Step S1, judging whether a water heating device of the washing machine is in failure.

[0060] Step S2, when the water heating device is in failure, detecting whether a total power of the washing machine is less than a preset power threshold. Before starting the drying heating device, the total power of the washing machine is detected to ensure that the total power will not exceed the standard after the drying heating device is started, and to ensure the safety of the electricity in the user's home.

[0061] Step S3, when the total power is less than the power threshold, executing a first washing reinforcing program; the first washing reinforcing program comprises: starting other heating devices of the washing machine to heat the washing drum. The other heating devices of the washing machine can be a steam generating device, a drying heating device, an electric radiation device, etc.

[0062] The washing control method of the present application aims at the case that the washing machine cannot heat the water in the washing drum due to the failure of the water heating device, and heats the drum by starting the drying heating device, so as to achieve the effect of heating the load in the drum. This can save the maintenance cost for the user and ensure that the washing effect is not much different under the same washing program.

[0063] As Figure 2As shown, in another embodiment, the washing control method of the present application can comprise the following steps:

[0064] Step S1, judging whether the water heating device of the washing machine is faulty.

[0065] Step S2, when the water heating device is faulty, detecting whether the overall power of the washing machine is less than a preset power threshold.

[0066] Step S3, when the overall power is less than the power threshold, executing a first washing strengthening program; the first washing strengthening program comprises: starting other heating devices of the washing machine to heat the washing drum. The other heating devices of the washing machine can be steam generating devices, drying heating devices, electric radiation devices, etc.

[0067] Step S4, when the overall power is greater than or equal to the power threshold, executing a second washing strengthening program; the second washing strengthening program comprises: increasing the rotation-to-stop ratio and / or prolonging the washing time.

[0068] The scheme of the present application takes into account the situation that the overall power of the washing machine is already high before starting the drying heating device, and forcibly starting the drying heating device may exceed the power threshold and bring safety hazards. Therefore, in the case that the overall power is greater than or equal to the power threshold, the clothes are washed intensively by increasing the washing time and adjusting the rotation-to-stop ratio, so as to ensure that the washing effect will not be poor in the case of using normal temperature water.

[0069] It should be understood that, although Figure 1 and Figure 2 the flowcharts show the steps in sequence according to the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in sequence according to the arrows. Unless otherwise specified herein, the execution of these steps is not strictly limited in sequence, and these steps can be executed in other sequences. Moreover, Figure 1 and Figure 2 at least part of the steps can comprise multiple sub-steps or multiple stages, which are not necessarily executed at the same time, but can be executed at different times, and the execution sequence of these sub-steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be executed in rotation or alternation with other steps or sub-steps or stages of other steps.

[0070] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0071] As Figure 3As shown in step S2, detecting whether the overall power of the washing machine is less than a preset power threshold value includes the following steps: turning off the control signal of the water heating device load, detecting the overall power of the washing machine at this time; and determining whether the overall power of the washing machine at this time is less than the preset power threshold value.

[0072] As shown in step S2, detecting whether the overall power of the washing machine is less than a preset power threshold value includes the following steps: turning off the control signal of the water heating device load, detecting the overall power of the washing machine at this time; and determining whether the overall power of the washing machine at this time is less than the preset power threshold value. Figure 3 As shown in step S2, detecting whether the overall power of the washing machine is less than a preset power threshold value includes the following steps: turning off the control signal of the water heating device load, detecting the overall power of the washing machine at this time; and determining whether the overall power of the washing machine at this time is less than the preset power threshold value.

[0073] If the overall power P is less than the set value P1, a first washing strengthening program is executed.

[0074] As shown in step S2, detecting whether the overall power of the washing machine is less than a preset power threshold value includes the following steps: turning off the control signal of the water heating device load, detecting the overall power of the washing machine at this time; and determining whether the overall power of the washing machine at this time is less than the preset power threshold value. Figure 4 As shown in step S2, detecting whether the overall power of the washing machine is less than a preset power threshold value includes the following steps: turning off the control signal of the water heating device load, detecting the overall power of the washing machine at this time; and determining whether the overall power of the washing machine at this time is less than the preset power threshold value.

[0075] In the above embodiment, reducing the rotation speed of the washing drum at this time includes the following steps: controlling the rotation speed to decrease from L1 to L2. Wherein L1 is in the range of 40 rpm to 80 rpm, preferably 50 rpm; L2 is in the range of 0 rpm to 70 rpm, preferably 35 rpm; and L1 is greater than L2.

[0076] Reducing the rotation and stop ratio of the washing drum at this time includes the following steps: controlling the rotation and stop ratio to decrease from rotating n1 seconds and stopping m1 seconds to rotating n2 seconds and stopping m2 seconds. Wherein n1 is in the range of 10 to 200 seconds, preferably 15 seconds; n2 is in the range of 0 to 100 seconds, preferably 5 seconds; and n1 is greater than n2. m1 is in the range of 10 to 200, preferably 15 seconds; m2 is in the range of 10 to 200, preferably 25 seconds; and m1 is greater than m2.

[0077] After reducing the rotation and stop ratio, the drying fan and the drying heating device are turned on. The drying heating device can be a drying electric heating, heat pump type, heat radiation type heating, etc., which is not limited in the present application. The drying heating device is used to blow hot air into the washing drum to increase the temperature in the drum.

[0078] When the temperature is greater than the W1 set temperature, the drying heating device needs to be closed first, and the washing time is extended, and the washing time is adjusted from t1 to t2, t1 is the initial set time (i.e. the washing time set by the original program), t2=t1+t3, t3 is in the range of 1-200 min, preferably 30 min. At the same time, the rotation-stop ratio is improved, and the rotation n2 seconds and stop m2 seconds at the rotation speed L2 are improved to the rotation n3 seconds and stop m3 seconds at the rotation speed L3. L3 is in the range of 40 rpm-100 rpm; the rotation n3 seconds is in the range of 10-200 seconds, preferably 55 seconds; the stop time m3 seconds is in the range of 1-100 seconds, preferably 5 seconds; the first temperature threshold W1 is in the range of 40-95°C, preferably 60°C;

[0079] In some embodiments, the first washing enhancement program further comprises the following steps: when the temperature in the washing drum reaches the preset first temperature threshold W1, the drying heating device is closed; when the temperature in the washing drum decreases to the preset second temperature threshold W2, the drying heating device is started again, and the washing machine will repeat the above process. The first temperature threshold W1 is in the range of 40-95°C; the second temperature threshold is W2=W1-W3, and W3 is in the range of 0-50°C.

[0080] As shown in Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first washing enhancement program comprises the following steps: starting the drying heating device to heat the washing drum; when the temperature in the washing drum reaches the preset first temperature threshold, the washing time is extended and the rotation-stop ratio is improved.

[0081] In the above embodiments, the drying heating device (such as a steam generating device for generating high-temperature steam to blow into the drum to heat the load in the drum by using high-temperature and high-humidity water vapor) is directly started. When the temperature is greater than the W1 set temperature, the washing time is adjusted, and the washing time is adjusted from t1 to t2, t1 is the original program washing time, t2=t1+t3, t3 is in the range of 1-200 min, preferably 30 min. The rotation-stop ratio is improved, and the rotation n2 seconds and stop m2 seconds at the rotation speed L2 are improved to the rotation n3 seconds and stop m3 seconds at the rotation speed L3. L3 is in the range of 40 rpm-100 rpm, preferably 55 rpm; the rotation n3 seconds is in the range of 10-200 seconds, preferably 55 seconds; the stop time m3 seconds is in the range of 1-100 seconds, preferably 5 seconds; the W1 temperature is in the range of 40-95°C, preferably 60°C; when the washing temperature is less than W2, the washing machine will repeat the above process; W2=W1-W3, W3 is in the range of 0-50°C, preferably 10°C.

[0082] As shown in Figure 6As shown, when the overall machine power is greater than or equal to the power threshold, forcibly turning on the drying heating device poses a safety risk, and at this time, the second washing strengthening program is executed. In the detergent dispensing stage of washing, the amount of detergent to be dispensed is increased; by increasing the washing time, adjusting the rotation-stop ratio, increasing the number of rinsing and the rinsing water level, it is ensured that the detergent residue will not exceed the standard, and by the above-mentioned means, the parameters of the washing process are adjusted.

[0083] In some embodiments, the second washing strengthening program includes: increasing the rotation-stop ratio and / or prolonging the washing time. In other embodiments, the second washing strengthening program can also include the following steps: increasing the amount of detergent to be dispensed; increasing the number of rinsing or increasing the rinsing water level.

[0084] For example, if the overall machine power P is greater than the preset power threshold P1, the washing strengthening program 2 is executed. The amount of detergent to be dispensed is increased, and the increase in the amount of detergent is a. The value of a ranges from 0 to 200%, and is preferably 50%. The rotation-stop ratio is increased from rotation at a speed L2 for n2 seconds and stop for m2 seconds to rotation at a speed L3 for n3 seconds and stop for m3 seconds. L3 ranges from 40 rpm to 100 rpm, and is preferably 55 rpm; the rotation for n3 seconds ranges from 10 to 200 seconds, and is preferably 55 seconds; the stop time m3 seconds ranges from 1 to 100 seconds, and is preferably 5 seconds. The washing time is adjusted, and the washing time is adjusted from t1 to t2. t1 is the original program washing time, and t2=t1+t3. t3 ranges from 1 to 200 min, and is preferably 30 min. Since the amount of detergent to be used is increased, the number of rinsing and the rinsing water level need to be increased in order to remove the detergent residue of the clothes.

[0085] In summary, the above technical solutions are adopted in the present application. When the water heating device fails to heat, the washing machine has a risk of decreased washing efficiency under the same washing program. In this case, the drying heating device is turned on, and the hot air blown out by the drying heating device is used to heat the drum, so as to achieve the effect of heating the load in the drum, thereby ensuring the washing effect. The drying heating device can be: drying electric heating, drying heat pump heating system, infrared radiation heating, steam generating device, etc., and the present application does not limit this.

[0086] When the overall machine power is greater than or equal to the power threshold, forcibly turning on the drying heating device poses a safety risk. By adjusting the washing process parameters (including: changing the rotation-stop ratio, the washing time, adjusting the amount of detergent to be dispensed, etc.), the clothes are washed intensively, the washing capacity of the washing machine under normal temperature water washing is improved, and it is ensured that the clothes are washed clean. This can save maintenance costs for users, and can also ensure that the washing efficiency under the same washing program is not much different.
