Attached Figure Description

[0032] The technical solution and its beneficial effects will become apparent from the following detailed description of specific embodiments of this application, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the control method for a washing machine provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0034] Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the control method of the washing machine, which determines the load based on the weight of the clothes, the temperature inside the drum, and the water level inside the drum. Detailed Implementation

[0035] 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.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a washing machine provided in an embodiment of this application. The embodiment of this application provides a control method for a washing machine, which includes a motor. The control method includes the following steps:

[0037] 101. When a mid-cycle clothing addition command is detected, obtain the current running program of the washing machine and the first and second adjustment strategies corresponding to the running program.

[0038] The "add clothes mid-cycle" command is a user instruction to add clothes mid-cycle when the washing machine has started its washing program. The detection method for this command can include voice command detection, touch button or physical button detection, or remote terminal command detection.

[0039] For example, a user can give the washing machine a command to add clothes mid-cycle by saying "I want to add clothes". The washing machine's voice processing unit can receive and recognize the user's voice to determine whether it is a command to add clothes mid-cycle.

[0040] Upon detecting a mid-cycle clothing addition command, the system obtains the current operating program of the washing machine, as well as the corresponding first and second adjustment strategies. Because the motor operates in different states in different operating programs, each operating program has a corresponding first and second adjustment strategy to ensure the motor can stably slow down to zero and to allow for adaptive adjustments after clothing addition.

[0041] It should be noted that when the washing machine starts running, because the water level in the drum is higher than the door seal, adding clothes midway through the cycle and opening the door will directly cause water to flow out of the washing machine. During the water heating program, adding clothes midway and opening the door poses a risk of scalding from the high temperature. During the drying program's cycle phase, adding clothes midway and opening the door poses a risk of scalding from the hot air. Therefore, before obtaining the washing machine's current operating program and the corresponding first and second adjustment strategies, in some other embodiments, it is also necessary to determine whether other conditions are met for adding clothes midway through the cycle. For example, in some embodiments, the weight of the added clothes, the drum temperature, and the water level in the drum can also be used to determine whether the corresponding unlocking and opening conditions are met. See details... Figure 2 , Figure 2 for Figure 1 The flowchart shown illustrates the control method of the washing machine, which determines the load based on the weight of the clothes added, the temperature inside the drum, and the water level inside the drum. The specific steps are as follows:

[0042] 201. If the weight of the clothes added is less than the preset value and the water level in the bucket is lower than the preset water level, then determine whether the temperature in the bucket is lower than the preset temperature.

[0043] The system obtains the weight of the clothes added to determine the total weight in the drum after adding clothes mid-cycle. Based on the total weight and the water level in the drum, it calculates the water level after adding clothes. Therefore, by determining that the water level in the drum is lower than the preset water level, it ensures that opening the door when adding clothes mid-cycle will not cause water to overflow from the washing machine. By ensuring that the added weight is less than the preset value, it ensures that the water level in the drum will not exceed the limit after adding clothes mid-cycle.

[0044] The added clothing weight can be a weight parameter directly input by the user, or it can be calculated directly after the user inputs the dimensions, size, material, etc. It can also be measured by the weight sensor built into the washing machine; there are no specific restrictions here.

[0045] The water level in the bucket can be measured using infrared light, sensors, or other methods; no specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0046] 202. If the temperature inside the barrel is lower than the preset temperature, the conditions for unlocking and opening the door are met.

[0047] To prevent users from being scalded, the command to add clothes midway through the process must be executed when the temperature inside the tub is lower than the preset temperature. Therefore, the conditions for unlocking and opening the door are met only when the weight of the added clothes is less than the preset value, the water level inside the tub is lower than the preset water level, and the temperature inside the tub is lower than the preset temperature.

[0048] 102. After adjusting the motor to the preset speed according to the first adjustment strategy, control the washing machine to stop the running program.

[0049] According to the first adjustment strategy, the motor is adjusted to the preset speed, that is, the motor speed is made to meet the conditions for opening the door. Once the conditions for opening the door are met, the washing machine is controlled to stop the running program and open the door.

[0050] 103. When the instruction to add clothes is detected, continue to execute the running program and control the motor to run according to the second adjustment strategy. The first adjustment strategy and the second adjustment strategy are different.

[0051] For example, in some embodiments, if the washing machine's current operating program is the weighing stage, and the motor is rotating at a constant first speed, adjusting the motor to a preset speed according to the first adjustment strategy includes controlling the motor to reduce its speed to zero within a first preset time. After the mid-cycle addition of clothes is completed, controlling the motor operation according to the second adjustment strategy includes controlling the motor to rotate at a constant first speed. For example, during the weighing stage, the motor rotates at a speed of 80-150 rpm, and the motor speed is basically maintained at 110 rpm to measure the weight of the clothes in the drum. If clothes are added mid-cycle during this stage, the program weighing value is reset to zero. Within 3 seconds of receiving the mid-cycle addition instruction, the motor speed is controlled to decrease to 0 rpm. After the door lock is opened and clothes are added, the motor restarts at 110 rpm to weigh the weight of the newly added clothes.

[0052] In some embodiments, if the washing machine is currently running in the main wash phase, and the motor rotates at a second speed and a first cycle, wherein the first cycle includes rotating for a first preset time and then stopping for a second preset time, and the first preset time is less than the second preset time, then adjusting the motor to a preset speed according to the first adjustment strategy includes: controlling the motor to run for one first cycle and then stopping. Controlling the motor to run according to the second adjustment strategy includes: controlling the motor to rotate at a third speed and a second cycle, wherein the second cycle includes rotating for a third preset time and then stopping for a fourth preset time, the third preset time is greater than the fourth preset time, and the third speed is greater than the second speed. For example, during the main wash phase, when the motor runs the cradle wash rhythm, the motor speed is 30 revolutions per minute and rotates in a first cycle, wherein the first cycle includes the cradle wash rhythm "Y", rotating forward to an angle of 80°, then rotating backward to an angle of 80°, rotating for 20 seconds and then stopping for 40 seconds, repeating this cycle. After the "add clothes" button is pressed midway, the motor runs for another cycle according to the cradle wash rhythm and then stops, which can prevent damage to clothes when the motor speed is suddenly braked to 0 speed. Once the door is unlocked and the clothes are added, the motor rotates at 40 revolutions per minute and in the second cycle. The cradle moves in a "Y" rhythm, rotating forward to an angle of 80°, then in the reverse direction to an angle of 80°. The rotation lasts for 40 seconds, then stops for 30 seconds, and the cycle repeats.

[0053] In some embodiments, if the washing machine is currently running in the main wash cycle and the motor rotates at a fourth speed and a third cycle, wherein the third cycle includes rotating forward for a fifth preset time followed by rotating in the reverse direction for a fifth preset time, then adjusting the motor to a preset speed according to the first adjustment strategy includes: controlling the motor to rotate forward for a fifth preset time or rotate in the reverse direction for a fifth preset time and then stop. Controlling the motor operation according to the second adjustment strategy includes: controlling the motor to rotate at a fifth speed and a fourth cycle, wherein the fourth cycle includes rotating for a sixth preset time followed by stopping for a sixth preset time, the sixth preset time being longer than the fifth preset time, and the fifth speed being longer than the fourth speed. For example, during the main wash cycle, when the motor runs at zero speed, it rotates at 50 rpm / min and a third cycle, wherein the third cycle includes rotating forward for 10 seconds, stopping for 0 seconds, and then rotating in the reverse direction for 10 seconds, which is zero speed washing cycle. The motor stops for 10 seconds after every 1 minute of washing and cycles through the cycle. Upon receiving the instruction to add clothes midway, the motor will rotate forward for 10 seconds or in the opposite direction for 10 seconds and then stop immediately. After the door is opened and clothes are added, the motor will run at 60 rpm / min and in the fourth cycle. The fourth cycle includes 15 seconds of forward operation, 0 seconds of pause, and then 15 seconds of reverse operation, thereby increasing the motor's cycle time to ensure that the clothes are thoroughly agitated and washed.

[0054] In some embodiments, if the washing machine's current operating program is the softening and rinsing stage, and the motor rotates at a sixth speed and a fifth cycle, wherein a fifth cycle includes rotating for a seventh preset time and then stopping for an eighth preset time, then controlling the motor operation according to the second adjustment strategy includes: controlling the motor to rotate at a seventh speed and a sixth cycle, wherein a sixth cycle includes rotating for a ninth preset time and then stopping for a tenth preset time, the seventh speed being greater than the sixth speed, and the ninth preset time being greater than the seventh preset time. For example, during the rinsing and washing stage, the washing machine rotates at a speed of 50 rpm and rotates at a fifth cycle, wherein the fifth cycle includes rotating for 20 seconds and then stopping for 8 seconds. Upon receiving a mid-cycle addition instruction, the amount of laundry in the tub increases, and the motor rotates at a speed of 60 rpm and rotates at a sixth cycle, wherein the sixth cycle includes rotating for 30 seconds and then stopping for 8 seconds, increasing the motor's rotation frequency, ensuring that the laundry is evenly agitated and thoroughly rinsed.

[0055] In some embodiments, if the washing machine is currently in the pre-spin stage and the motor is operating at an eighth speed, controlling the motor operation according to the second adjustment strategy includes: controlling the motor to weigh the clothes at a first speed; if the first weighing value is greater than a preset value, controlling the motor to operate at a ninth speed, which is less than the eighth speed. The spin-drying process is divided into a pre-spin stage and a main spin stage. During the pre-spin stage, the motor speed can reach a maximum of 400 rpm. At this stage, the clothes contain a lot of water, and a large off-center (OOB) value can easily lead to the washing machine hitting the drum and shifting. At the beginning of this stage, the weighing weight and OOB value are determined at 110 rpm. If clothes are added during the pre-spin stage, the program restarts at 110 rpm to weigh the clothes. If the weight of the clothes exceeds the maximum load limit, the program automatically adjusts to the maximum speed value; if it was originally 1400 rpm, it is reduced to 1000 rpm. This effectively prevents noise and resonance risks associated with high speeds under multiple loads.

[0056] In some embodiments, if the washing machine is currently in the spin-drying stage and the motor is operating at an eighth speed, adjusting the motor to a preset speed according to the first adjustment strategy includes: controlling the motor to decelerate to zero with a preset acceleration. Controlling the motor operation according to the second adjustment strategy includes: controlling the motor to weigh at a first speed; if the first weighing value is greater than a preset value, controlling the motor to cycle in a seventh cycle, the seventh cycle including forward movement for an eleventh preset time, stopping for a twelfth preset time, and then reverse rotation for a thirteenth preset time. Controlling the motor to weigh again at the first speed; if the second weighing value is less than or equal to the preset value, controlling the motor to operate at a ninth speed, the ninth speed being less than the eighth speed. The spin-drying stage is the highest speed stage in the program. During this stage, after the clothes-adding button is activated, the motor quickly stops opening the door at an acceleration of 40 rpm / s. After clothes are added, the motor continues to run at 110 rpm to determine the weighing value. If the weighing value exceeds the set maximum weighing value, the motor performs a dispersed movement and operates in a seventh cycle, the seventh cycle including forward rotation for 10 seconds, stopping for 2 seconds, and then reverse rotation for 10 seconds, with the reverse movement repeated twice. Once the weighing value is reassessed and found to be within the set range, the main motor will immediately disengage from high speed, reducing the speed by one level from the original value. For example, if it was originally 1400 RPM, it will be reduced to 1000 RPM; if it was originally 1000 RPM, it will be reduced to 800 RPM; if it was originally 800 RPM, it will be reduced to 600 RPM; and if it was originally 600 RPM, it will remain unchanged. This setting avoids the risk of the motor colliding with the garment container or shifting due to high-speed operation after adding clothing.

[0057] It should be noted that the specific values ​​provided in the embodiments of this application are only for illustrative purposes. In actual use, they are not limited to the examples above and need to be set according to the actual situation. No specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0058] This embodiment of the application uses a first adjustment strategy to reduce the motor speed to zero to open the door, and then uses a second adjustment strategy to control the motor's operation, allowing the motor to adapt to the addition of clothes, thus achieving the best washing effect. The first and second adjustment strategies ensure the motor can operate both when clothes are added and when it is adapted to the increased load. Furthermore, by obtaining the corresponding first and second adjustment strategies through the current operating program, the washing machine can adopt different adjustment strategies for different operating programs, allowing the motor to make adaptive adjustments in different operating programs to achieve the best washing effect.

The memory is disposed on the washing machine body and is used to store computer programs; the processor is disposed on the washing machine body and is used to implement the steps of the washing machine control method as described above.
