[0062] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0063] In recent years, with the iterative upgrades of washing machines, users have placed higher demands on the cleaning effect of certain special garments and the amount of detergent residue during rinsing. However, existing washing machines reduce detergent residue in clothes by increasing the number of rinses, but even with increased rinsing times, the improvement in cleaning and rinsing effects for special garments is not significant, while also increasing power consumption and wasting water resources.
[0064] To address the aforementioned problems, embodiments of this application provide a control method for a washing machine, a control device for a washing machine, a storage medium, and a washing machine. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a schematic flowchart of the first embodiment of the washing control method provided in this application. The washing control method is applied to a washing machine, which can be a vented washing machine, a heat pump washing machine, or a condensing washing machine, etc. The washing machine may include an inner drum for holding clothes to be washed, which may be special clothing, such as down jackets. The specific flow of this method can be as follows:
[0065] 101. If the washing machine's washing program is running, obtain the number of washing stages and the total amount of detergent added.
[0066] In this embodiment, the user can control the washing machine to power on via physical or virtual buttons on the washing machine. After the washing program of the washing machine is started, the user can obtain the number of washing stages and the total amount of detergent added.
[0067] Specifically, the number of washing stages in a washing program can be determined based on a preset program. For example, if the item to be washed is a down jacket, the default setting for the washing program is three washing stages. Alternatively, the number of washing stages can be determined based on the weight of the item. For instance, if the item weighs 50-500g, the corresponding number of washing stages is two; if the item weighs 500-1500g, the corresponding number of washing stages is three, and so on. A gravity sensor can be installed in the inner drum to detect the weight of the item placed inside. Alternatively, the weight of the item can be detected before it is placed in the drum; no specific limitation is made here.
[0068] In some embodiments, the total amount of detergent can be determined based on the weight of the garment to be washed. Specifically, the total amount can be set as W, and the weight of the garment to be washed as Z, then W = Z * K1 + a, where the coefficients K1 and a can be set according to the actual situation. For example, if the garment to be washed is a down jacket, and the weight of the down jacket is 500-1500g, then the corresponding total amount of detergent W is 20-30g, that is, when the weight of the down jacket is 500g, the total amount of detergent is 20g; when the weight of the down jacket is 1500g, the total amount of detergent is 30g. Of course, the washing machine can also set the total amount of detergent by default according to the type of garment to be washed. For example, if the garment to be washed is a down jacket, then the total amount of detergent is 20g or 30g.
[0069] Alternatively, the total dosage can be set according to the inflow volume. Specifically, the total dosage can be set to W and the inflow volume to L, then W = L * K2 + b.
[0070] 102. Based on the number of washing stages and the total amount of detergent, add detergent to the inner drum in different amounts for each washing stage, and wash the clothes to be washed according to different washing parameters in each washing stage.
[0071] After obtaining the number of washing stages and the total amount of detergent, detergent can be added to the inner drum in segments according to different amounts in each washing stage, and the laundry can be washed according to different washing parameters in each washing stage.
[0072] It should be noted that the inner drum includes lifting ribs. The function of the lifting ribs is to generate friction between the clothes to be washed and the lifting ribs during the washing machine's operation. This causes the contact parts of the clothes to be washed and the lifting ribs to move relative to each other and rub against each other, creating a kneading effect. In addition, the lifting ribs can drive the clothes to be washed to rotate. After the clothes are lifted to the water surface and reach a certain height, they fall back into the water due to gravity, thus achieving the washing effect through the principle of tumbling.
[0073] However, if the height of the lifting ribs is too high, the clothes to be washed will be lifted too high to the water surface, causing frequent friction between the clothes and the inner wall of the drum opposite the lifting ribs during the washing process, resulting in severe wear and tear on the clothes. Conversely, if the height of the lifting ribs is too low, the lifting ribs will not be able to support the clothes to be lifted to the water surface and reach a certain height, causing the clothes to float on the water surface and thus failing to achieve the effect of tumbling and washing the clothes by gravity.
[0074] Therefore, in this embodiment, the height of the lifting ribs is set accordingly, and the height of the lifting ribs can be 33-50mm. In addition, the washing parameters include at least the water level in the inner drum. The water level in the inner drum is related to the height of the lifting ribs. By setting the water level in the inner drum according to the height of the lifting ribs, it can be ensured that during the washing process, the lifting ribs can lift the clothes to be washed to a certain height above the water level and prevent them from contacting the inner wall of the inner drum. This allows the clothes to be thoroughly washed and soaked, improving the washing effect.
[0075] In some embodiments, if the washing program is in the first washing stage, after a preset water intake time is set for the inner drum, detergent is added to the inner drum at a first dosage and water is continuously added to the inner drum until the inner drum reaches a first water level, wherein the first water level is lower than the height of the lifting ribs; the inner drum is controlled to rotate at a first speed and in a first periodic switching manner between clockwise and counterclockwise.
[0076] Specifically, when the washing program is in the first washing stage, water is added to the inner drum for 3-5 seconds. Then, detergent is added to the inner drum in a continuous process of adding water and detergent simultaneously, until the water level in the inner drum reaches the first water level W1. The first water level can be 50% of the total detergent, i.e., W1 = 50%W. The first water level can be half or close to the height of the lifting ribs. For example, if the height of the lifting ribs is 33mm, then the first water level can be 16-33mm. For example, if the height of the lifting rib is 50mm, the first water level can be 25-50mm; then the inner cylinder is controlled to rotate at a first speed and in a first periodic switching mode between clockwise and counterclockwise, wherein the first speed can be 25-40 revolutions per minute; the sequence of switching the first periodic switching mode can be clockwise rotation for 20-30 seconds, stop rotation for 10-15 seconds, counterclockwise rotation for 20-30 seconds, stop rotation for 10-15 seconds, and maintain the logic of alternating clockwise and counterclockwise periodic switching.
[0077] Understandably, as clothes absorb water during washing, the water level in the inner drum gradually decreases. When the water level drops to a preset threshold, the inner drum needs to be replenished. Therefore, a water level detection device installed in the inner drum can detect the water level in real time. Specifically, the water level detection device can detect the water level frequency value in the inner drum. The water level can be obtained from the water level frequency value. The water level frequency value and the water level are inversely proportional. That is, if the water level frequency value is higher than the preset water level frequency threshold, it means that the water level is lower than the preset water level threshold. At this time, the inner drum needs to be replenished until the water level in the inner drum reaches the first water level W1 to ensure that the water level in the inner drum can support the washing of clothes.
[0078] In some embodiments, the first un-water-replenished time after the inner drum reaches the first water level and the first current washing time of the first washing stage can be obtained; if the first un-water-replenished time is longer than the first preset un-water-replenished time, or the first current washing time is longer than the first preset washing time, the washing program is controlled to switch from the first washing stage to the second washing stage.
[0079] It should be noted that the first period without water replenishment can be the duration during which no water is replenished after the initial water intake reaches the first water level W1 in the first washing stage. During this first period, the water level in the inner drum remains above the preset water level threshold, thus eliminating the need for water replenishment. During this time, the water level in the inner drum is sufficient for the laundry to fully absorb water. If the first period without water replenishment exceeds the first preset period without water replenishment, it indicates that the laundry has fully absorbed water, and the water level in the inner drum is still sufficient to support washing the laundry. Therefore, the washing stage can be switched to the second washing stage. The first preset period without water replenishment can be 30-60 seconds. Furthermore, after a water replenishment operation is performed to bring the water level in the inner drum to the first water level W1, the duration without water replenishment needs to be reset.
[0080] It should also be noted that the first current washing time can be the washing duration from the start of the first washing stage to the current washing time. The washing program can be set with a fixed washing time (the first preset washing time) for each washing stage to complete the entire washing process. Therefore, if the first current washing time is longer than the first preset washing time, the washing program will switch from the first washing stage to the second washing stage. The first preset washing time can be 3-5 minutes. Of course, the settings for the first preset no-water-replenishment time and the first preset washing time can also be adjusted according to the weight of the clothes to be washed; specific setting methods are not limited here.
[0081] In some embodiments, if the washing program is in the second washing stage, detergent is added to the inner drum at a second dosage and water is added to the inner drum until the inner drum reaches a second water level, wherein the second dosage is less than the first dosage, the second water level is higher than the first water level, and the second water level is higher than the height of the lifting ribs; the inner drum is controlled to rotate at a second speed and in a second periodic switching manner between clockwise and counterclockwise, wherein the second speed is greater than the first speed.
[0082] Specifically, when the washing program is in the second washing stage, detergent is added to the inner drum at a second dosage while water is being added, until the water level in the inner drum reaches the second water level W2. The second dosage can be 30% of the total dosage, i.e., W2 = 30%W. The second water level can be close to or slightly higher than the height of the lifting ribs. For example, if the height of the lifting ribs is 33mm, the second water level can be 33-38mm; if the height of the lifting ribs is 50mm, the second water level can be 50-55mm. Then, the inner drum is controlled at a second rotation speed, rotating between clockwise and counterclockwise. The rotation is carried out in a second periodic switching mode. The second speed can be 35-45 revolutions per minute. Since the second speed is greater than the first speed, when the first speed is 25 revolutions per minute, the second speed can be 35 revolutions per minute; when the first speed is 40 revolutions per minute, the second speed can be 45 revolutions per minute. The switching sequence of the second periodic switching mode can be clockwise rotation for 15-25 seconds, stop rotation for 5-10 seconds, counterclockwise rotation for 15-20 seconds, stop rotation for 5-10 seconds, and maintain the logic of alternating clockwise and counterclockwise periodic switching. The second periodic switching mode has a smaller rotation time and stop time compared to the first periodic switching mode.
[0083] In some embodiments, the second current washing duration of the second washing stage can be obtained; if the second current washing duration is greater than the second preset washing duration, the washing program is controlled to switch from the second washing stage to the third washing stage.
[0084] It should be noted that the clothes to be washed have already absorbed enough water in the first washing stage, so the water level in the drum will not change significantly in the second washing stage. Therefore, it is impossible to determine the end of the second washing program by the duration of continuous water not being replenished.
[0085] It should also be noted that the second current washing time can be the washing time from the start of the second washing stage to the current washing time. The washing program can set a fixed washing time, i.e., the second preset washing time, in each washing stage to complete the washing process. Therefore, if the second current washing time is longer than the second preset washing time, the washing program will switch from the second washing stage to the third washing stage. The second preset washing time can be 3-5 minutes.
[0086] In some embodiments, if the washing program is in the third washing program, detergent is added to the inner drum at a third dosage and water is added to the inner drum until the inner drum reaches a third water level. The third dosage is less than the second dosage, and the sum of the first, second, and third dosages is the total dosage. The third water level is higher than the second water level. The inner drum is controlled to rotate at a third speed and in a third periodic switching mode between clockwise and counterclockwise. The third speed is greater than the second speed. The rotation time and stop time of the first, second, and third periodic switching modes are different in clockwise and counterclockwise directions.
[0087] Specifically, when the washing program is in the third washing stage, detergent is added to the inner drum at a third dosage while water is being added, until the water level in the inner drum reaches the third water level W3. The third dosage can be 20% of the total dosage, i.e., W3 = 20%W. If the height of the lifting ribs is 33mm, the third water level can be 63-68mm; for example, if the height of the lifting ribs is 50mm, the third water level can be 80-85mm. Subsequently, the inner drum is controlled to rotate at a third speed, switching between clockwise and counterclockwise in a third periodic manner. The third rotational speed can be 40-55 rpm. Since the third rotational speed is greater than the second rotational speed, when the second rotational speed is 35 rpm, the third rotational speed can be 40 rpm; when the second rotational speed is 45 rpm, the third rotational speed is 55 rpm. The switching sequence of the third periodic switching method can be clockwise rotation for 10-15 seconds, stop rotation for 1-5 seconds, counterclockwise rotation for 10-15 seconds, stop rotation for 1-5 seconds, and maintain the logic of alternating clockwise and counterclockwise periodic switching. The third periodic switching method has a smaller rotation time and stop time compared to the second periodic switching method.
[0088] In some embodiments, the third current washing duration of the third washing stage can be obtained; if the third current washing duration is greater than the third preset washing duration, the washing program is completed; if the third current washing duration is less than the third preset washing duration, the laundry is washed according to the washing method of the third washing stage.
[0089] It should be noted that the third current washing time can be the washing time from the start of the third washing stage of the washing program to the current washing time. The washing program can set a fixed washing time, namely the third preset washing time, in each washing stage to complete the washing process. Therefore, if the third current washing time is longer than the third preset washing time, the washing program will be completed. The third preset washing time can be 10-20 minutes.
[0090] 103. If the washing machine switches from the washing program to the rinsing program, the laundry will be rinsed according to the preset rinsing rules.
[0091] After the washing machine completes the washing cycle, it can perform the draining cycle, spin-drying cycle, etc. Then the washing machine enters the rinsing cycle. In the rinsing cycle, the clothes to be washed are rinsed according to the preset rinsing rules to reduce detergent residue. The preset rinsing rules can be to use a lower water level and a lower spin speed for the first rinse, and to use a combination of low speed and high spin speed for the final rinse. The specific rules are not specified here.
[0092] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment, if the washing machine's washing program is started, the number of washing stages and the total amount of detergent are obtained. Based on the number of washing stages and the total amount of detergent, detergent is added to the inner drum in each washing stage according to different amounts, and the laundry is washed according to different washing parameters in each washing stage. If the washing machine switches from the washing program to the rinsing program, the laundry is rinsed according to preset rinsing rules. This embodiment, by controlling the parameters during the washing and rinsing processes, can improve the cleaning effect of the laundry and reduce detergent residue.
[0093] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a second flowchart illustrating the laundry control method provided in this application. The specific operation steps of this laundry control method are as follows:
[0094] 201. If the washing machine's washing program is started, obtain the number of washing stages and the total amount of detergent added.
[0095] In this embodiment, after the washing machine's washing program is started, the number of washing stages and the total amount of detergent added can be obtained.
[0096] Specifically, the number of washing stages in a washing program can be determined based on a preset program. For example, if the item to be washed is a down jacket, the default setting for the washing program is three washing stages. Alternatively, the number of washing stages can be determined based on the weight of the item. For instance, if the item weighs 50-500g, the corresponding number of washing stages is two; if the item weighs 500-1500g, the corresponding number of washing stages is three, and so on. A gravity sensor can be installed in the inner drum to detect the weight of the item placed inside. Alternatively, the weight of the item can be detected before it is placed in the drum; no specific limitation is made here.
[0097] In some embodiments, the total amount of detergent can be determined based on the weight of the garment to be washed. Specifically, the total amount can be set as W, and the weight of the garment to be washed as Z, then W = Z * K1 + a, where the coefficients K1 and a can be set according to the actual situation. For example, if the garment to be washed is a down jacket, and the weight of the down jacket is 500-1500g, then the corresponding total amount of detergent W is 20-30g, that is, when the weight of the down jacket is 500g, the total amount of detergent is 20g; when the weight of the down jacket is 1500g, the total amount of detergent is 30g. Of course, the washing machine can also set the total amount of detergent by default according to the type of garment to be washed. For example, if the garment to be washed is a down jacket, then the total amount of detergent is 20g or 30g.
[0098] Alternatively, the total dosage can be set according to the inflow volume. Specifically, the total dosage can be set to W and the inflow volume to L, then W = L * K2 + b.
[0099] 202. Based on the number of washing stages and the total amount of detergent, detergent is added to the inner drum in different amounts for each washing stage, and the laundry is washed according to different washing parameters in each washing stage.
[0100] After obtaining the number of washing stages and the total amount of detergent, detergent can be added to the inner drum in segments according to different amounts in each washing stage, and the laundry can be washed according to different washing parameters in each washing stage.
[0101] In this embodiment, the height of the lifting ribs is set accordingly, and the height of the lifting ribs can be 33-50mm. In addition, the washing parameters include at least the water level in the inner drum. The water level in the inner drum is related to the height of the lifting ribs. Setting the water level in the inner drum according to the height of the lifting ribs ensures that during the washing process, the lifting ribs can raise the clothes to a certain height above the water level and prevent them from contacting the inner wall of the inner drum. This allows the clothes to be thoroughly washed and soaked, improving the washing effect.
[0102] In some embodiments, if the washing program is in the first washing stage, after a preset water intake time is set for the inner drum, detergent is added to the inner drum at a first dosage and water is continuously added to the inner drum until the inner drum reaches a first water level, wherein the first water level is lower than the height of the lifting ribs; the inner drum is controlled to rotate at a first speed and in a first periodic switching manner between clockwise and counterclockwise.
[0103] Specifically, when the washing program is in the first washing stage, water is added to the inner drum for 3-5 seconds. Then, detergent is added to the inner drum in a continuous process of adding water and detergent simultaneously, until the water level in the inner drum reaches the first water level W1. The first water level can be 50% of the total detergent, i.e., W1 = 50%W. The first water level can be half or close to the height of the lifting ribs. For example, if the height of the lifting ribs is 33mm, then the first water level can be 16-33mm. For example, if the height of the lifting rib is 50mm, the first water level can be 25-50mm; then the inner cylinder is controlled to rotate at a first speed and in a first periodic switching mode between clockwise and counterclockwise, wherein the first speed can be 25-40 revolutions per minute; the sequence of switching the first periodic switching mode can be clockwise rotation for 20-30 seconds, stop rotation for 10-15 seconds, counterclockwise rotation for 20-30 seconds, stop rotation for 10-15 seconds, and maintain the logic of alternating clockwise and counterclockwise periodic switching.
[0104] In some embodiments, the first un-water-replenished time after the inner drum reaches the first water level and the first current washing time of the first washing stage can be obtained; if the first un-water-replenished time is longer than the first preset un-water-replenished time, or the first current washing time is longer than the first preset washing time, the washing program is controlled to switch from the first washing stage to the second washing stage.
[0105] It should be noted that the first period without water replenishment can be the duration during which no water is replenished after the initial water intake reaches the first water level W1 in the first washing stage. During this first period, the water level in the inner drum remains above the preset water level threshold, thus eliminating the need for water replenishment. During this time, the water level in the inner drum is sufficient for the laundry to fully absorb water. If the first period without water replenishment exceeds the first preset period without water replenishment, it indicates that the laundry has fully absorbed water, and the water level in the inner drum is still sufficient to support washing the laundry. Therefore, the washing stage can be switched to the second washing stage. The first preset period without water replenishment can be 30-60 seconds. Furthermore, after a water replenishment operation is performed to bring the water level in the inner drum to the first water level W1, the duration without water replenishment needs to be reset.
[0106] It should also be noted that the first current washing time can be the washing duration from the start of the first washing stage to the current washing time. The washing program can be set with a fixed washing time (the first preset washing time) for each washing stage to complete the entire washing process. Therefore, if the first current washing time is longer than the first preset washing time, the washing program will switch from the first washing stage to the second washing stage. The first preset washing time can be 3-5 minutes. Of course, the settings for the first preset no-water-replenishment time and the first preset washing time can also be adjusted according to the weight of the clothes to be washed; specific setting methods are not limited here.
[0107] In some embodiments, if the washing program is in the second washing stage, detergent is added to the inner drum at a second dosage and water is added to the inner drum until the inner drum reaches a second water level, wherein the second dosage is less than the first dosage, the second water level is higher than the first water level, and the second water level is higher than the height of the lifting ribs; the inner drum is controlled to rotate at a second speed and in a second periodic switching manner between clockwise and counterclockwise, wherein the second speed is greater than the first speed.
[0108] Specifically, when the washing program is in the second washing cycle, detergent is added to the inner drum at a second dosage while water is being added, until the water level in the inner drum reaches the second water level W2. The second dosage can be 30% of the total dosage, i.e., W2 = 30%W. The second water level can be close to or slightly higher than the height of the lifting ribs. For example, if the height of the lifting ribs is 33mm, the second water level can be 33-38mm; if the height of the lifting ribs is 50mm, the second water level can be 50-55mm. Then, the inner drum is controlled at a second rotation speed, rotating between clockwise and counterclockwise. The rotation is carried out in a second periodic switching mode. The second speed can be 35-45 revolutions per minute. Since the second speed is greater than the first speed, when the first speed is 25 revolutions per minute, the second speed can be 35 revolutions per minute; when the first speed is 40 revolutions per minute, the second speed can be 45 revolutions per minute. The switching sequence of the second periodic switching mode can be clockwise rotation for 15-25 seconds, stop rotation for 5-10 seconds, counterclockwise rotation for 15-20 seconds, stop rotation for 5-10 seconds, and maintain the logic of alternating clockwise and counterclockwise periodic switching. The second periodic switching mode has a smaller rotation time and stop time compared to the first periodic switching mode.
[0109] In some embodiments, the second current washing duration of the second washing stage can be obtained; if the second current washing duration is greater than the second preset washing duration, the washing program is controlled to switch from the second washing stage to the third washing stage.
[0110] It should be noted that the second current washing time can be the washing time from the start of the second washing stage to the current washing time. The washing program can set a fixed washing time, i.e., the second preset washing time, in each washing stage to complete the washing process. Therefore, if the second current washing time is longer than the second preset washing time, the washing program will switch from the second washing stage to the third washing stage. The second preset washing time can be 3-5 minutes.
[0111] In some embodiments, if the washing program is in the third washing program, detergent is added to the inner drum at a third dosage and water is added to the inner drum until the inner drum reaches a third water level. The third dosage is less than the second dosage, and the sum of the first, second, and third dosages is the total dosage. The third water level is higher than the second water level. The inner drum is controlled to rotate at a third speed and in a third periodic switching mode between clockwise and counterclockwise. The third speed is greater than the second speed. The rotation time and stop time of the first, second, and third periodic switching modes are different in clockwise and counterclockwise directions.
[0112] Specifically, when the washing program is in the third washing stage, detergent is added to the inner drum at a third dosage while water is being added, until the water level in the inner drum reaches the third water level W3. The third dosage can be 20% of the total dosage, i.e., W3 = 20%W. If the height of the lifting ribs is 33mm, the third water level can be 63-68mm; for example, if the height of the lifting ribs is 50mm, the third water level can be 80-85mm. Subsequently, the inner drum is controlled to rotate at a third speed, switching between clockwise and counterclockwise in a third periodic manner. The third rotational speed can be 40-55 rpm. Since the third rotational speed is greater than the second rotational speed, when the second rotational speed is 35 rpm, the third rotational speed can be 40 rpm; when the second rotational speed is 45 rpm, the third rotational speed is 55 rpm. The switching sequence of the third periodic switching method can be clockwise rotation for 10-15 seconds, stop rotation for 1-5 seconds, counterclockwise rotation for 10-15 seconds, stop rotation for 1-5 seconds, and maintain the logic of alternating clockwise and counterclockwise periodic switching. The third periodic switching method has a smaller rotation time and stop time compared to the second periodic switching method.
[0113] In some embodiments, the third current washing duration of the third washing stage can be obtained; if the third current washing duration is greater than the third preset washing duration, the washing program is completed; if the third current washing duration is less than the third preset washing duration, the laundry is washed according to the washing method of the third washing stage.
[0114] It should be noted that the third current washing time can be the washing time from the start of the third washing stage of the washing program to the current washing time. The washing program can set a fixed washing time, namely the third preset washing time, in each washing stage to complete the washing process. Therefore, if the third current washing time is longer than the third preset washing time, the washing program will be completed. The third preset washing time can be 10-20 minutes.
[0115] 203. If the washing machine switches from the washing program to the rinsing program, the number of rinsing stages in the rinsing program is obtained.
[0116] After the washing machine switches from the washing program to the rinsing program, you can get the number of rinsing stages in the rinsing program.
[0117] Specifically, the number of rinsing stages in the rinsing program can be determined according to the preset program. For example, if the garment to be washed is a down jacket, the default setting for the rinsing program is three rinsing stages. Alternatively, the number of rinsing stages can be determined according to the weight of the garment to be washed. For example, if the weight of the garment to be washed is 50-500g, the corresponding number of rinsing stages is two, and if the weight of the garment to be washed is 500-1500g, the corresponding number of rinsing stages is three, and so on.
[0118] 204. Depending on the number of rinsing stages, the laundry is rinsed according to different rinsing parameters in each rinsing stage.
[0119] If the rinsing process is in the first rinsing stage, water is introduced into the inner drum until the inner drum reaches the fourth water level, which is lower than the height of the lifting ribs; the inner drum is controlled to rotate at the fourth speed and in the fourth periodic switching mode between clockwise and counterclockwise.
[0120] Specifically, when the rinsing process is in the first rinsing stage, water is introduced into the inner drum until the inner drum reaches the fourth water level W4. If the height of the lifting rib is 33mm, the fourth water level can be 23-53mm; if the height of the lifting rib is 50mm, the fourth water level can be 40-60mm. Then, the inner drum is controlled to rotate at the fourth rotation speed and in a fourth periodic switching mode between clockwise and counterclockwise. The fourth rotation speed can be 28-42 revolutions per minute. The sequence of switching the fourth periodic switching mode can be clockwise rotation for 10-20 seconds, stop rotation for 8-10 seconds, counterclockwise rotation for 10-20 seconds, stop rotation for 8-10 seconds, and maintain the logic of alternating clockwise and counterclockwise periodic switching.
[0121] In some embodiments, the second period without water replenishment after the inner cylinder reaches the fourth water level and the first current rinsing period of the first rinsing stage can be obtained; if the second period without water replenishment is longer than the second preset period without water replenishment, or the first current rinsing period is longer than the first preset rinsing period, the rinsing program is controlled to switch from the first rinsing stage to the second rinsing stage.
[0122] It should be noted that the second period without water replenishment can be the duration of continuous water replenishment after the initial water intake to the fourth water level W4 during the first rinsing stage. During this second period, the water level in the inner drum remains above the preset water level threshold, thus eliminating the need for water replenishment. This process allows laundry items, such as down jackets, to be thoroughly soaked in water, ensuring complete detergent removal. If the second period without water replenishment exceeds the second preset period, the washing stage can be switched to the second washing stage. The second preset period without water replenishment can be 30-60 seconds. Furthermore, after replenishing the water to the fourth water level W4, the continuous water replenishment period needs to be reset.
[0123] It should also be noted that the first current rinsing time can be the rinsing time from the start of the first rinsing stage to the current rinsing time. The rinsing program can set a fixed rinsing time, i.e., the first preset rinsing time, in each rinsing stage to complete the entire rinsing process. Therefore, if the first current rinsing time is longer than the first preset rinsing time, the rinsing program will switch from the first rinsing stage to the second rinsing stage. The first preset rinsing time can be 2-5 minutes.
[0124] In some embodiments, if the rinsing process is in the second rinsing stage, water is introduced into the inner drum until the inner drum reaches a fifth water level, wherein the fifth water level is higher than the fourth water level and the fifth water level is higher than the height of the lifting ribs; the inner drum is controlled to rotate at a fifth rotation speed and in a fifth periodic switching mode between clockwise and counterclockwise, wherein the fifth rotation speed is greater than the fourth rotation speed.
[0125] Specifically, when the rinsing process is in the second rinsing stage, water is introduced into the inner drum until it reaches the fifth water level W5. If the height of the lifting ribs is 33mm, the fifth water level can be 58-78mm; for example, if the height of the lifting ribs is 50mm, the fifth water level can be 75-95mm. Then, the inner drum is controlled to rotate at a fifth rotation speed, alternating between clockwise and counterclockwise rotations in a fifth periodic switching pattern. The fifth rotation speed can be 40-50 rpm. Since the fifth rotation speed is greater than the fourth rotation speed, when the fourth rotation speed is 28 rpm, the fifth rotation speed is 40 rpm; when the fourth rotation speed is 42 rpm, the fifth rotation speed is 50 rpm. The switching sequence of the fifth periodic switching pattern can be clockwise rotation for 15-25 seconds, stop rotation for 5-10 seconds, counterclockwise rotation for 15-25 seconds, stop rotation for 5-10 seconds, maintaining the logic of alternating clockwise and counterclockwise periodic switching. The fifth periodic switching pattern reduces the rotation and stop times compared to the fourth periodic switching pattern.
[0126] In some embodiments, the second current rinsing duration of the second rinsing stage can be obtained; if the second rinsing duration is longer than the second preset rinsing duration, the rinsing program is controlled to switch from the second rinsing stage to the third rinsing stage.
[0127] It should be noted that the second current rinsing time can be the rinsing time from the start of the second rinsing stage to the current rinsing time. The rinsing program can set a fixed rinsing time, i.e., the second preset rinsing time, in each rinsing stage to complete the rinsing process. Therefore, if the second current rinsing time is longer than the second preset rinsing time, the rinsing program will switch from the second rinsing stage to the third rinsing stage. The second preset rinsing time can be 1-3 minutes.
[0128] In some embodiments, if the rinsing process is in the third rinsing stage, water is introduced into the inner drum until the inner drum reaches a sixth water level, wherein the sixth water level is higher than the fifth water level; the inner drum is controlled to rotate at a sixth rotation speed and in a sixth periodic switching mode between clockwise and counterclockwise for a first preset number of times, wherein the sixth rotation speed is greater than the fifth rotation speed; the inner drum is controlled to rotate at a fourth rotation speed and in a fourth periodic switching mode between clockwise and counterclockwise for a second preset number of times, wherein the rotation time and stop time of the fourth periodic switching mode, the fifth periodic switching mode, and the sixth periodic switching mode are different in clockwise and counterclockwise directions.
[0129] Specifically, when the rinsing program is in the third rinsing stage, water is introduced into the inner drum until the water level reaches the sixth water level W6. If the height of the lifting ribs is 33mm, the sixth water level can be 93-100mm; if the height of the lifting ribs is 50mm, the sixth water level can be 110-120mm. Then, the inner drum is controlled to rotate at a sixth rotation speed, switching between clockwise and counterclockwise cycles for a first preset number of times. After the inner drum completes the first preset number of rotations at the sixth rotation speed, it is controlled to rotate at a fourth rotation speed, switching between clockwise and counterclockwise cycles for a second preset number of times. By employing a control logic that combines high and low rotation speeds in the third rinsing stage, detergent residue on the clothes can be reduced, thereby increasing the lifespan of the clothes and improving the user experience.
[0130] The sixth rotational speed can be 45-55 rpm. Since the sixth speed is greater than the fifth speed, when the fifth speed is 40 rpm, the sixth speed can be 45 rpm; when the fifth speed is 50 rpm, the third speed is 55 rpm. The switching sequence of the sixth periodic switching mode can be clockwise rotation for 10-15 seconds, stop rotation for 1-5 seconds, counterclockwise rotation for 10-15 seconds, stop rotation for 1-5 seconds, maintaining the logic of alternating clockwise and counterclockwise periodic switching. Compared with the fifth periodic switching mode, the sixth periodic switching mode has reduced rotation and stop times. The first preset number of times can be 2-4 times, and the second preset number of times can be 1-3 times. The sixth speed can make the centrifugal force of the laundry greater than the gravity, allowing the laundry to adhere to the inner wall of the drum and rotate, thereby expelling water and detergent from the laundry through high-speed rotation and reducing detergent residue.
[0131] In some embodiments, the third current rinsing time of the third rinsing stage can be obtained; if the third rinsing time is greater than the third preset rinsing time, the rinsing of the laundry is completed; if the third rinsing time is less than the third preset rinsing time, the laundry is rinsed according to the rinsing method of the third rinsing stage until the third rinsing time is greater than the third preset time, wherein the third preset rinsing time can be 2-5 minutes.
[0132] 205. The washing of the clothes to be washed is complete.
[0133] After rinsing the clothes, you can proceed with the draining and spin-drying processes to complete the washing process.
[0134] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment, if the washing machine's washing program is started, the number of washing stages and the total amount of detergent added are obtained; based on the number of washing stages and the total amount added, detergent is added to the inner drum in each washing stage according to different amounts, and the laundry is washed according to different washing parameters in each washing stage; if the washing machine switches from the washing program to the rinsing program, the number of rinsing stages is obtained; based on the number of rinsing stages, the laundry is rinsed according to different rinsing parameters in each rinsing stage; thus, the washing of the laundry is completed. This embodiment, through parameter control during the washing and rinsing processes, can improve the cleaning effect of the laundry and reduce detergent residue.

[0162] If the second un-water-replenished time is longer than the second preset un-water-replenished time, or the first current rinsing time is longer than the first preset rinsing time, then the rinsing program is switched from the first rinsing stage to the second rinsing stage.
[0163] In some embodiments, the rinsing module 303 can also be used for:
[0164] If the rinsing process is in the second rinsing stage, water is introduced into the inner drum until the inner drum reaches the fifth water level, where the fifth water level is higher than the fourth water level and the fifth water level is higher than the height of the lifting ribs.
[0165] The inner cylinder is controlled to rotate at a fifth rotational speed and in a fifth periodic switching pattern between clockwise and counterclockwise, wherein the fifth rotational speed is greater than the fourth rotational speed.

[0174] Get the current rinse duration of the third rinse stage;
[0175] If the third rinse time exceeds the third preset rinse time, the rinsing of the laundry is complete.
[0176] All of the above technical solutions can be combined in any way to form optional embodiments of this application, and will not be described in detail here.
[0177] As can be seen from the above, the washing control device 300 provided in this embodiment, when the washing program of the washing machine is started, obtains the number of washing stages and the total amount of detergent through the acquisition module 301; the washing module 302, based on the number of washing stages and the total amount of detergent, adds detergent to the inner drum in each washing stage according to different amounts, and washes the clothes to be washed according to different washing parameters in each washing stage, wherein the washing parameters include at least the water level in the inner drum, and the water level in the inner drum has a corresponding relationship with the height of the lifting ribs; the rinsing module 303, if the washing machine switches from the washing program to the rinsing program, rinses the clothes to be washed according to the preset rinsing rules. This embodiment, by controlling the parameters in the washing and rinsing processes, can improve the washing effect of the clothes to be washed and reduce detergent residue.
[0178] Accordingly, this application also provides a washing machine, which can be a vented washing machine, a heat pump washing machine, or a condenser washing machine, etc. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a washing machine provided in an embodiment of this application. The washing machine 400 may include an inner drum 401. Of course, the washing machine 400 may also include other structural components, such as an outer drum, a rotating shaft, and drum bearings (not shown in the figure), which are not specifically limited here.
[0179] The inner drum 401 can be used for laundry, including down jackets. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the inner drum structure provided in the embodiment of this application. The inner drum 401 may include lifting ribs 4011. The function of the lifting ribs 4011 is to generate friction between the clothes to be washed and the lifting ribs 4011 during the washing machine 400 washing process. This causes the contact portions of the clothes to be washed and the lifting ribs 4011 to move relative to each other and rub against each other, producing a kneading effect. In addition, the lifting ribs 4011 can drive the clothes to be washed to rotate. After the clothes are lifted to the water surface and reach a certain height, they fall back into the water due to gravity, thus achieving a washing effect through the principle of tumbling.
[0180] In this embodiment, the height of the lifting rib 4011 is set accordingly, and the height of the lifting rib 4011 can be 33-50mm.
[0181] Please continue reading. Figure 6 , Figure 6This is a structural block diagram of a washing machine provided in an embodiment of this application. The washing machine 400 may further include a processor 402 with one or more processing cores, a memory 403 with one or more computer-readable storage media, and a computer program stored in the memory 403 and executable on the processor 402. The processor 402 and the memory 403 are electrically connected. Those skilled in the art will understand that the washing machine structure shown in the figure does not constitute a limitation on the washing machine, and may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.
[0182] The processor 402 is the control center of the washing machine 400. It connects various parts of the washing machine 400 through various interfaces and lines. By running or loading software programs and / or modules stored in the memory 403, and calling data stored in the memory 403, it executes various functions of the washing machine 400 and processes data, thereby performing overall monitoring of the washing machine 400.
[0183] In this embodiment, the processor 402 in the washing machine 400 loads the instructions corresponding to the processes of one or more applications into the memory 403 according to the following steps, and the processor 402 runs the applications stored in the memory 403 to realize various functions:
[0184] If the washing machine's washing program is running, obtain the number of washing stages and the total amount of detergent added.
[0185] Based on the number of washing stages and the total amount of detergent, detergent is added to the inner drum in different amounts in each washing stage, and the laundry is washed according to different washing parameters in each washing stage. The washing parameters include at least the water level in the inner drum, and the water level in the inner drum is related to the height of the lifting ribs.
[0186] If the washing machine switches from the washing program to the rinsing program, it will rinse the clothes according to the preset rinsing rules.
[0187] For details on the implementation of each of the above operations, please refer to the previous examples, which will not be repeated here.
[0188] Those skilled in the art will understand that all or part of the steps in the various methods of the above embodiments can be performed by instructions, or by instructions controlling related hardware. These instructions can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium and loaded and executed by a processor.
[0189] Therefore, embodiments of this application provide a computer-readable storage medium storing a plurality of computer programs that can be loaded by a processor to execute the steps in any of the washing control methods provided in embodiments of this application.
[0190] The storage medium may include various media capable of storing program code, such as read-only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), magnetic disks, or optical disks.
