Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of smart home appliances, and particularly provides a dehydration control method for a washing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] A washing machine is a common household laundry washing device. According to the washing mode, the washing machine can be roughly divided into a pulsator washing machine and a drum washing machine. Taking the pulsator washing machine as an example, the pulsator washing machine is usually provided with a washing program, a rinsing program, a draining program and a dehydration program, etc. Among them, the dehydration program is used to spin dry the laundry, so as to reduce the water content of the laundry.

[0003] However, in actual use, when the washing machine runs the dehydration program, it will immediately brake and stop running due to reasons such as opening the cover or the pause key being operated, etc. When the dehydration program is started again, the washing machine usually continues to run the dehydration program directly from the pause breakpoint. However, the conditions of the washing machine when running the dehydration program each time are not exactly the same, such as different weights of the load, etc. In many cases, it is not suitable to continue to run the dehydration program directly from the pause breakpoint. The uniform starting mode again cannot meet all situations, which may affect the normal operation of the washing machine, and thus affects the user's experience.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need in the art for a new dehydration control method for a washing device to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application aims to solve the above technical problems, i.e. to solve the problem that the existing washing device directly continues to run the dehydration program from the pause breakpoint when starting the dehydration program again, which cannot meet all dehydration situations.

[0006] The present application provides a dehydration control method for a washing device, which comprises the following steps: when the dehydration program of the washing device is started again after being paused, obtaining the dehydration stage in which the dehydration program of the washing device is paused; according to the dehydration stage, selectively making the washing device continue to run the dehydration program from the pause breakpoint or re-run the dehydration program.

[0007] In the preferred technical solution of the above dehydration control method, the step of "according to the dehydration stage, selectively making the washing device continue to run the dehydration program from the pause breakpoint or re-run the dehydration program" specifically comprises: if the washing device is in the first dehydration stage when paused, obtaining the first dehydration time that the first dehydration stage has run when the dehydration program of the washing device is paused; judging whether the first dehydration time is greater than a preset time; according to the judgment result, selectively making the washing device continue to run the dehydration program from the pause breakpoint or re-run the dehydration program.

[0008] In the preferred technical scheme of the dehydration control method, the step of "selectively causing the washing device to continue running the dehydration program from the pause breakpoint or to re-run the dehydration program according to the judgment result" specifically includes: if the first dehydration time is greater than the preset time, causing the washing device to continue running the dehydration program from the pause breakpoint; and / or if the first dehydration time is less than or equal to the preset time, causing the washing device to re-run the dehydration program.

[0009] In the preferred technical scheme of the dehydration control method, the step of "selectively causing the washing device to continue running the dehydration program from the pause breakpoint or to re-run the dehydration program according to the dehydration phase" further includes: if the washing device is in the second dehydration phase when it is paused, obtaining an initial weight of the laundry in the washing tub of the washing device; judging whether the initial weight is less than a preset weight; and selectively causing the washing device to continue running the dehydration program from the pause breakpoint or to re-run the dehydration program according to the judgment result.

[0010] In the preferred technical scheme of the dehydration control method, the step of "selectively causing the washing device to continue running the dehydration program from the pause breakpoint or to re-run the dehydration program according to the judgment result" specifically includes: if the initial weight is less than the preset weight, detecting whether the washing device has collided with the washing tub when it runs the dehydration program before being paused; and selectively causing the washing device to continue running the dehydration program from the pause breakpoint or to re-run the dehydration program according to the detection result.

[0011] In the preferred technical scheme of the dehydration control method, the step of "selectively causing the washing device to continue running the dehydration program from the pause breakpoint or to re-run the dehydration program according to the detection result" specifically includes: if the washing device has collided with the washing tub when it runs the dehydration program before being paused, causing the washing device to re-run the dehydration program.

[0012] In the preferred technical scheme of the dehydration control method, the step of "selectively causing the washing device to continue running the dehydration program from the pause breakpoint or to re-run the dehydration program according to the detection result" further includes: if the washing device has not collided with the washing tub when it runs the dehydration program before being paused, causing the washing device to continue running the dehydration program from the pause breakpoint.

[0013] In the preferred technical scheme of the dehydration control method, the step of "selectively causing the washing device to continue running the dehydration program from the pause breakpoint or to re-run the dehydration program according to the judgment result" further includes: if the initial weight is greater than or equal to the preset weight, causing the washing device to re-run the dehydration program.

[0014] In the preferred technical solution of the dehydration control method, the step of "restarting the dehydration program of the washing device" specifically comprises: obtaining a second dehydration time that the washing device has run when the dehydration program of the washing device is paused; obtaining a total dehydration time of the washing device; calculating a difference between the total dehydration time and the second dehydration time, taking the difference as a remaining dehydration time; and restarting the dehydration program of the washing device according to the remaining dehydration time.

[0015] In the preferred technical solution of the dehydration control method, the step of "selectively restarting the dehydration program of the washing device according to the dehydration phase" further comprises: if the washing device is in the third dehydration phase when it is paused, continuing the dehydration program of the washing device from the pause breakpoint.

[0016] In the preferred technical solution of the dehydration control method, when the dehydration program of the washing machine is started again after being paused, the dehydration phase in which the dehydration program of the washing machine is paused is obtained; and the washing machine is selectively restarted from the pause breakpoint according to the dehydration phase.

[0017] Compared with the prior art in which the dehydration program is directly continued from the pause breakpoint when it is started again, the present application can accurately determine whether the dehydration program can be continued from the pause breakpoint or needs to be restarted according to the dehydration phase in which the dehydration program of the washing machine is paused when it is started again, and adopts different dehydration timing for different dehydration phases, thereby well meeting different dehydration situations, ensuring that the washing machine can operate normally, and further improving the user experience.

[0018] Further, if the washing machine is in the first dehydration phase when it is paused, it indicates that the washing machine has just started to execute the dehydration program when it is paused, the dehydration speed is low, and the second preset dehydration speed has not been reached, the influence of the dehydration speed on the running timing of the dehydration program started again is small, and in order to determine the running timing of the dehydration program, the first dehydration time that the washing machine has run when the dehydration program is paused is obtained, and according to the judgment result of whether the first dehydration time is greater than the preset time, it can be accurately determined whether the dehydration program can be continued from the pause breakpoint, whether the dehydration program continued from the pause breakpoint will cause the running time displayed by the washing machine to jump, and whether the dehydration program needs to be restarted, thereby well meeting the low-speed paused dehydration situation and ensuring that the washing machine can operate normally.

[0019] Further, if the washing machine is in the second dewatering stage when being paused, it indicates that the washing machine has executed the dewatering program for a long time when being paused, the dewatering speed is high, and the second preset dewatering speed has been reached. In the case that the weight of the laundry is large, directly increasing the speed to the high speed (i.e. the second preset dewatering speed) when starting will likely cause the washing machine to hit the tub. In order to avoid the above situation, the initial weight of the laundry in the washing tub of the washing machine is obtained, and according to the judgment result of whether the initial weight is less than the preset weight, it can be accurately judged whether the dewatering program can continue to run from the pause breakpoint, whether continuing to run the dewatering program (i.e. directly increasing the speed to the high speed) from the pause breakpoint will cause the washing machine to hit the tub, and whether it is necessary to re-run the dewatering program, which well meets the dewatering situation of high speed being paused and ensures that the washing machine can normally run.

[0020] Further, if the washing machine is in the third dewatering stage when being paused, it indicates that the washing machine has started to slow down or has basically ended running when being paused, and the motor driving the inner tub to rotate has stopped running. Therefore, when the washing machine is restarted, the washing machine can continue to run the dewatering program from the pause breakpoint, and wait for the dewatering to end, which well meets the dewatering situation of slowing down being paused and ensures that the washing machine can normally run.

[0029] The preferred embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. For example, although the present application is described in combination with a washing machine, the technical solutions of the present application are not limited thereto, and in actual applications, the washing device can also be any one of a washer-dryer, a steam washing device, etc.

[0030] It should be noted that in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", "third" are only for the purpose of description and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] In addition, it should also be noted that in the description of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "provision" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the communication inside two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above-mentioned terms in the present application according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] Based on the technical problems proposed in the background art, the present application provides a spin-drying control method for a washing machine, which aims to accurately determine whether the spin-drying program can be continued from the pause point or needs to be re-run when the spin-drying program is started again according to the spin-drying stage at which the spin-drying program is paused, and to adopt different spin-drying time sequences for different spin-drying stages, thereby well meeting different spin-drying situations, ensuring the normal operation of the washing machine, and further improving the user experience.

[0033] Firstly, referring to Figure 1 , the spin-drying control method of the present application is described. Among them, Figure 1 is a main flow chart of the spin-drying control method of the present application.

[0034] As shown in Figure 1 , the spin-drying control method of the present application comprises the following steps:

[0035] S100, when the spin-drying program of the washing machine is started again after being paused, acquiring the spin-drying stage at which the spin-drying program is paused;

[0036] S200、According to the dehydration phase, the washing machine is selectively continued to run the dehydration program or re-run the dehydration program from the pause breakpoint.

[0037] Preferably, the dehydration phase includes a first dehydration phase, a second dehydration phase and a third dehydration phase; wherein the first dehydration phase is a low-speed dehydration phase, a stage in which the dehydration speed of the washing machine gradually increases from zero to a first preset dehydration speed (for example, 350 r / min); the second dehydration phase is a high-speed dehydration phase, a stage in which the dehydration speed of the washing machine reaches a second preset dehydration speed (for example, 800 r / min) and runs according to the second preset dehydration speed; the third dehydration phase includes a habituation phase and a brake phase, i.e. a deceleration dehydration phase and a stop running phase. Of course, the first preset dehydration speed and the second preset dehydration speed are not limited to the above-mentioned speeds, and a person skilled in the art can flexibly adjust and set them according to actual use requirements, for example, the first preset dehydration speed is 300 r / min, 400 r / min, the second preset dehydration speed is 700 r / min, 1000 r / min, etc.

[0038] Further, the first dehydration phase, the second dehydration phase and the third dehydration phase are three phases that run in sequence.

[0039] The pause breakpoint is a time node when the dehydration program of the washing machine is paused, for example, the dehydration program of the washing machine has been running for 20 when it is paused, and runs to the first dehydration phase; or the dehydration program of the washing machine has been running for 3 min when it is paused, and runs to the second dehydration phase; or the dehydration program of the washing machine has been running for 4 min 40 s when it is paused, and runs to the third dehydration phase.

[0040] In step S100, in the process of running the dehydration program of the washing machine, it is possible to immediately brake and stop running due to the washing machine being opened or the pause key being operated, etc. When the cover is closed or the start key is pressed, it will be started again. When the washing machine is started again, the dehydration phase in which the dehydration program of the washing machine is paused is obtained, so as to determine the running time sequence of the dehydration program.

[0041] The following refers to Figures 2 to 6 The dehydration control method of the present application selectively continues to run the dehydration program or re-runs the dehydration program of the washing machine from the pause breakpoint is described. Wherein, Figure 2 is the flow of the dehydration control method of the present application selectively continues to run the dehydration program or re-runs the dehydration program of the washing machine from the pause breakpoint Figure 1 ; Figure 3 is the flow of the dehydration control method of the present application selectively continues to run the dehydration program or re-runs the dehydration program of the washing machine from the pause breakpoint Figure 2 ;Figure 4 is a flowchart of the spin-drying control method of the present application for selectively continuing or re-running the spin-drying program of the washing machine from the pause breakpoint Figure 3 ; Figure 5 is a flowchart of the spin-drying control method of the present application for re-running the spin-drying program of the washing machine Figure 6 is a flowchart of the spin-drying control method of the present application for selectively continuing or re-running the spin-drying program of the washing machine from the pause breakpoint Figure 4 .

[0042] As shown in Figure 2 , the step of "selectively continuing or re-running the spin-drying program of the washing machine from the pause breakpoint according to the spin-drying stage" in step S200 specifically includes:

[0043] S211, if the washing machine is paused in the first spin-drying stage, obtaining a first spin-drying time that the spin-drying program of the washing machine has run when paused;

[0044] S212, determining whether the first spin-drying time is greater than a preset time;

[0045] S213, selectively continuing or re-running the spin-drying program of the washing machine from the pause breakpoint according to the determination result.

[0046] In step S211, if the washing machine is paused in the first spin-drying stage, i.e., the low-speed spin-drying stage, it indicates that the washing machine has just started to execute the spin-drying program when paused, the spin-drying speed is low, and has not reached the second preset spin-drying speed, the spin-drying speed has less impact on the running timing of the spin-drying program that is started again, and in order to determine the running timing of the spin-drying program, the first spin-drying time that the spin-drying program of the washing machine has run when paused is obtained, so as to determine whether to continue or re-run the spin-drying program of the washing machine from the pause breakpoint according to the first spin-drying time.

[0047] Further, a timing module is arranged on the washing machine, and the first spin-drying time can be obtained through the timing module. Since the first spin-drying stage is the first stage of the spin-drying program, the first spin-drying time can also be the spin-drying time that the spin-drying program of the washing machine has run when paused.

[0048] As shown in Figure 3 , the step of "selectively continuing or re-running the spin-drying program of the washing machine from the pause breakpoint according to the determination result" in step S213 specifically includes:

[0049] S221, if the first spin-drying time is greater than the preset time, continuing the spin-drying program of the washing machine from the pause breakpoint;

[0050] S222, if the first spin-drying time is less than or equal to the preset time, making the washing machine re-run the spin-drying program.

[0051] In step S221, if the first spin-drying time is greater than the preset time, for example, the total spin-drying time of the washing machine is 5 min, the running time of the low-speed spin-drying stage is 30 s, the preset time is 15 s, and the detected first spin-drying time is 20 s (i.e., the pause breakpoint), which is greater than the preset time, indicating that the washing machine has been running for 20 s, which is slightly longer, and the remaining running time is 4 min 40 s. At this time, if the spin-drying program is re-run, the remaining running time displayed by the washing machine will jump to 5 min. In order to avoid the above situation, the washing machine is made to continue running the spin-drying program from the pause breakpoint, for example, the washing machine is made to continue running the spin-drying program from the 20th second of the first spin-drying stage, and the continued running time is 4 min 40 s.

[0052] In step S222, if the first spin-drying time is less than or equal to the preset time, for example, the total spin-drying time of the washing machine is 5 min, the running time of the low-speed spin-drying stage is 30 s, the preset time is 15 s, and the detected first spin-drying time is 1 s, which is less than the preset time, indicating that the washing machine has just started running the spin-drying program. At this time, the washing machine is made to re-run the spin-drying program, for example, the washing machine is made to re-run the spin-drying program from the 0th second of the first spin-drying stage, and the total spin-drying time of the re-run is still 5 min.

[0053] It should be noted that the above-mentioned total spin-drying time, running time of the low-speed spin-drying stage, preset time and first spin-drying time are only exemplary and are not limited. Those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust and set the total spin-drying time, running time of the low-speed spin-drying stage and preset time according to the use requirements in actual application, and determine the first spin-drying time according to the actual detection result.

[0054] It should be further noted that in the above process, steps S221 and S222 have no sequence and are parallel, and are only related to the judgment result of whether the first spin-drying time is greater than the preset time, and the corresponding steps can be executed according to different judgment results.

[0055] Referring again to Figure 2 , in step S200, the step of "selectively making the washing machine continue running the spin-drying program from the pause breakpoint or re-run the spin-drying program according to the spin-drying stage" further comprises:

[0056] S214, if the washing machine is paused in the second spin-drying stage, obtaining the initial weight of the laundry in the washing tub of the washing machine;

[0057] S215, judging whether the initial weight is less than a preset weight;

[0058] S216, selectively causing the washing machine to continue running the spin-drying program from the pause breakpoint or to re-run the spin-drying program according to the judgment result.

[0059] The washing tub includes an outer tub for containing washing water and an inner tub rotatably arranged in the outer tub for containing laundry. Although "tub" is used, it is not limited to a pulsator washing machine, but can also be a drum washing machine.

[0060] In step S214, if the washing machine was paused in the second spin-drying stage, i.e., the high-speed spin-drying stage, it indicates that the washing machine has executed the spin-drying program for a relatively long time when it was paused, and the spin-drying speed is relatively high, and has reached the second preset spin-drying speed. In the case that the weight of the laundry is relatively large, directly increasing the speed to the high speed (i.e., the second preset spin-drying speed) when starting will likely cause the washing machine to hit the tub. In order to avoid the above situation, the initial weight of the laundry in the washing tub of the washing machine is obtained, so as to determine whether to cause the washing machine to continue running the spin-drying program from the pause breakpoint or to re-run the spin-drying program according to the initial weight.

[0061] Further, the initial weight of the laundry is the weight when the laundry is put into the inner tub, i.e., the dry weight of the laundry, and the initial weight of the laundry is directly obtained, without the need for re-weighing.

[0062] As shown in FIG. 7, the step of "selectively causing the washing machine to continue running the spin-drying program from the pause breakpoint or to re-run the spin-drying program according to the judgment result" in step S216 specifically includes: Figure 4

[0063] S231, if the initial weight is greater than or equal to the preset weight, causing the washing machine to re-run the spin-drying program;

[0064] S232, if the initial weight is less than the preset weight, detecting whether the washing machine has hit the tub when running the spin-drying program before being paused;

[0065] S233, selectively causing the washing machine to continue running the spin-drying program from the pause breakpoint or to re-run the spin-drying program according to the detection result.

[0066] The preset weight is 50% of the load weight of the washing machine, for example, if the load weight of the washing machine is 8 kg, the preset weight is 4 kg. Of course, the preset weight can also be 30%, 40%, or 60% of the load weight of the washing machine, etc., and those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust and set according to actual spin-drying requirements.

[0067] ​In step S231, if the initial weight is greater than or equal to the preset weight, for example, if the total spin-drying time is 5 minutes, the preset weight is 4 kg, and the initial weight of the clothes is 5 kg, which is greater than the preset weight, it means that the weight of the clothes is relatively heavy. If the speed is directly increased to a high speed when starting, it will cause the washing machine to hit the drum. In order to avoid the above situation, the washing machine is made to restart the spin-drying program. For example, the washing machine is made to restart the spin-drying program from the 0th second of the first spin-drying stage, and the total spin-drying time is still 5 minutes.

[0068] In step S232, if the initial weight is less than the preset weight, for example, the preset weight is 4kg and the initial weight of the clothes is 2kg, it means that the weight of the clothes is light. However, the clothes may be unevenly distributed. If the speed is directly increased to a high spin speed, it may cause the washing machine to hit the drum. In order to avoid the above situation, it is detected whether the washing machine hit the drum when it was running the spin-drying program before it was paused. Based on the detection results, it is determined whether to let the washing machine continue to run the spin-drying program from the pause breakpoint or restart the spin-drying program.

[0069] It should be noted that the total dehydration time, preset weight, and initial weight listed above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust and set the total dehydration time and preset weight according to usage requirements in practical applications, and determine the initial weight based on actual test results.

[0070] It should also be noted that in the above process, steps S231 and S232 are not sequential but parallel, and are only related to the judgment result of whether the initial weight is less than the preset weight. The corresponding steps can be executed according to different judgment results.

[0071] like Figure 5 As shown, step S233, "based on the detection results, selectively allowing the washing machine to resume the spin-drying program from the pause point or restart the spin-drying program," specifically includes:

[0072] S241. If the washing machine did not experience drum collisions while running the spin cycle before being paused, then allow the washing machine to resume running the spin cycle from the pause point.

[0073] S242. If the washing machine hit the drum while running the spin cycle before being paused, restart the spin cycle.

[0074] In step S241, if the washing machine did not experience any drum collision during the spin-drying program before being paused, it indicates that the clothes are evenly distributed. If the speed is directly increased to a high spin speed, the probability of the washing machine colliding with the drum is very low. Therefore, the washing machine is allowed to continue running the spin-drying program from the pause point. For example, if the total spin-drying time is 5 minutes, the first spin-drying stage lasts 30 seconds, the second spin-drying stage lasts 4 minutes, and the third spin-drying stage lasts 30 seconds, and the washing machine's spin-drying program has been running for 3 minutes when it is paused, and it has reached the 2 minutes and 30 seconds of the second spin-drying stage, then the washing machine is allowed to continue running the spin-drying program from the 2 minutes and 30 seconds of the second spin-drying stage, and the continued running time is 2 minutes.

[0075] In step S242, if the washing machine hit the drum during the spin cycle before being paused, it indicates that the clothes are not evenly distributed. If the speed is increased directly to a high spin speed, it may also cause the washing machine to hit the drum. To avoid the above situation, the washing machine is restarted to run the spin cycle.

[0076] It should be noted that in the above process, steps S241 and S242 are not sequential but parallel. They are only related to the detection results of whether the washing machine experienced a drum collision when running the spin-drying program before being paused. The corresponding steps can be executed according to different detection results.

[0077] like Figure 6 As shown, in steps S231 and S242, the step of "restarting the washing machine's spin cycle" specifically includes:

[0078] S251. Obtain the second spin-drying time that has been running when the spin-drying program of the washing machine is paused;

[0079] S252. Obtain the total spin-drying time of the washing machine;

[0080] S253. Calculate the difference between the total dehydration time and the second dehydration time, and use the difference as the remaining dehydration time;

[0081] S254. Make the washing machine restart the spin cycle according to the remaining spin time.

[0082] In step S251, the second dehydration time t2, for example, 3 minutes, can be obtained through the timing module.

[0083] In step S252, the total dehydration time t0 is determined by the set dehydration program, for example, 5 minutes;

[0084] In step S253, the remaining dehydration time t3 is calculated, t3 = t0 - t2, for example 5min - 3min = 2min, that is, the remaining dehydration time t3 is 2min.

[0085] In step S254, the washing machine is caused to re-run the dehydration program from the 0th second of the first dehydration phase, and the total dehydration time of the re-running is 2 minutes.

[0086] It should be noted that the second dehydration time, the total dehydration time and the remaining dehydration time listed above are exemplary and are not restrictive, and a person skilled in the art can flexibly adjust and set the total dehydration time according to the use requirements in actual application, and determine the second dehydration time and the remaining dehydration time according to actual detection and calculation results.

[0087] It should also be noted that in the above process, the execution order of step S251 and step S252 is not limited to the order listed above, and step S252 can be executed first and then step S251 can be executed, or step S251 and step S252 can be executed simultaneously, and the present application does not make any limitation thereon.

[0088] Again referring to Figure 2 , in step S200, the step of "selectively causing the washing machine to continue running the dehydration program from the pause breakpoint or re-run the dehydration program according to the dehydration phase" further comprises:

[0089] S217, if the washing machine is in the third dehydration phase when it is paused, causing the washing machine to continue running the dehydration program from the pause breakpoint.

[0090] In step S217, if the washing machine is in the third dehydration phase, i.e., the habituation phase and the braking phase, when it is paused, it indicates that the washing machine has started to slow down or has basically finished running when it is paused, and the motor driving the inner drum to rotate has stopped running. Therefore, when the washing machine is restarted, the washing machine is caused to continue running the dehydration program from the pause breakpoint, and waits for the dehydration to end, which well meets the dehydration situation of being paused while slowing down and ensures that the washing machine can run normally.

[0091] For example, the total dehydration time is 5 minutes, the duration of the first dehydration phase is 30 seconds, the duration of the second dehydration phase is 4 minutes, the duration of the third dehydration phase is 30 seconds, the washing machine's dehydration program is paused after running for 4 minutes and 40 seconds, and it is running at the 10th second of the third dehydration phase. Then the washing machine is caused to continue running the dehydration program from the 10th second of the third dehydration phase, and the continued running time is 20 seconds.

[0092] It should be noted that in the above process, steps S211, S214 and S217 have no sequence and are parallel, and are only related to the dehydration phase in which the washing machine's dehydration program is paused, and the corresponding steps can be executed according to different dehydration phases.

[0093] Next, referring to Figure 7 , a possible control process of the present application is introduced. Among them,Figure 7 is a logic diagram of the dehydration control method of the present application.

[0094] As shown in Figure 7 , a possible complete flow of the dehydration control method of the present application is:

[0095] S301, when the dehydration program of the washing machine is started again after being paused, obtaining the dehydration phase in which the dehydration program of the washing machine was paused;

[0096] If the washing machine was in the first dehydration phase when it was paused, step S302 is executed;

[0097] If the washing machine was in the second dehydration phase when it was paused, step S306 is executed;

[0098] If the washing machine was in the third dehydration phase when it was paused, step S304 is executed;

[0099] S302, obtaining the first dehydration time t1 in which the first dehydration phase has run when the dehydration program of the washing machine was paused;

[0100] S303, judging whether t1 > preset time t 10 is true? If yes, step S304 is executed; if no, step S305 is executed;

[0101] S304, making the washing machine continue running the dehydration program from the pause breakpoint;

[0102] S305, making the washing machine run the dehydration program again according to the total dehydration time t0;

[0103] S306, obtaining the initial weight m1 of the laundry in the washing tub of the washing machine;

[0104] S307, judging whether m1 < preset weight m0 is true? If yes, step S308 is executed; if no, step S309 is executed;

[0105] S308, detecting whether the washing machine has ever run into a tub collision when running the dehydration program before being paused; if no, step S304 is executed; if yes, step S309 is executed;

[0106] S309, obtaining the second dehydration time t2 in which the dehydration program of the washing machine has run when it was paused;

[0107] S310, obtaining the total dehydration time t0 of the washing machine;

[0108] S311, calculating the difference at between t0 and t2, taking at as the remaining dehydration time t3;

[0109] S312, making the washing machine run the dehydration program again according to t3.
