Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

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

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, people have higher and higher requirements for the intelligence of washing machines. For clothes, the most obvious feature of clothes is color. People expect washing machines to be more intelligent, to automatically obtain the color and other attribute information of clothes, and to determine whether the clothes are color-fading according to the color of the clothes, for example, dark clothes such as red are prone to color-fading, and dark clothes are washed together, thereby avoiding color-fading of clothes.

[0003] However, not all dark clothes will color-fade, for example, chemical fiber clothes, no matter what color they are, are not prone to color-fading, but in the prior art, all dark clothes are determined to be clothes prone to color-fading, and all dark clothes are washed without discrimination according to the same program, thereby resulting in unsatisfactory washing effect of dark clothes and affecting the user experience.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need in the art for a new 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 cannot accurately determine whether clothes are color-fading, resulting in unsatisfactory washing effect of clothes.

[0006] The present application provides a control method for a washing device, the control method comprising the following steps: obtaining the color of all clothes to be washed during the operation of the washing device; obtaining the color of washing water; determining whether there are clothes color-fading based on the color of the washing water; and determining actual color-fading clothes according to the color of the washing water and the color of the clothes in the case of determining that there are clothes color-fading.

[0007] In the preferred technical solution of the above control method, the step of "determining actual color-fading clothes according to the color of the washing water and the color of the clothes" specifically comprises: determining first target clothes according to the color of the washing water and the color of the clothes; counting the number of the first target clothes; determining whether the number is less than a preset number; and selectively determining the first target clothes as the actual color-fading clothes according to the determination result.

[0008] In the preferred technical solution of the above control method, the step of "selectively determining the first target clothes as the actual color-fading clothes according to the determination result" specifically comprises: if the number is less than the preset number, determining the first target clothes as the actual color-fading clothes, and setting a first mark for the actual color-fading clothes.

[0009] In the preferred technical solution of the control method, the step of "selectively determining the second-level target clothes as the actual color-off clothes according to the judgment result" specifically includes: if the washing water color obtained again is consistent with the washing water color detected when the second-level target clothes are washed last time, detecting whether there are clothes belonging to the same color system as the second-level target clothes in the clothes washed again; if there are clothes belonging to the same color system as the second-level target clothes in the clothes washed again, judging whether the second-level target clothes are the actual color-off clothes according to the second material of the second-level target clothes and a third material of the clothes belonging to the same color system as the second-level target clothes; and / or if there are no clothes belonging to the same color system as the second-level target clothes in the clothes washed again, determining the second-level target clothes as the actual color-off clothes.

[0010] In the preferred technical solution of the control method, the control method further includes: when the washing device washes the second-level target clothes again, obtaining the washing water color again; judging whether the washing water color obtained again is consistent with the washing water color obtained when the second-level target clothes are washed last time; and selectively determining the second-level target clothes as the actual color-off clothes according to the judgment result.

[0011] In the preferred technical solution of the control method, the step of "selectively determining the second-level target clothes as the actual color-off clothes according to the judgment result" specifically includes: if the washing water color obtained again is consistent with the washing water color detected when the second-level target clothes are washed last time, detecting whether there are clothes belonging to the same color system as the second-level target clothes in the clothes washed again; if there are clothes belonging to the same color system as the second-level target clothes in the clothes washed again, judging whether the second-level target clothes are the actual color-off clothes according to the second material of the second-level target clothes and a third material of the clothes belonging to the same color system as the second-level target clothes; and / or if there are no clothes belonging to the same color system as the second-level target clothes in the clothes washed again, determining the second-level target clothes as the actual color-off clothes.

[0012] In the preferred technical solution of the control method, the step of "selectively determining the second-level target clothes as the actual color-off clothes according to the judgment result" further includes: if the washing water color obtained again is not consistent with the washing water color detected when the second-level target clothes are washed last time, obtaining the washing water color again when the washing device washes the second-level target clothes again; and selectively determining the second-level target clothes as the actual color-off clothes according to the washing water color obtained again.

[0013] In the preferred technical solution of the control method, before the step of "obtaining the washing water color", the control method further includes: judging whether the clothes color is within a preset color range; and only when it is judged that the clothes color is within the preset color range, the washing water color is obtained.

[0014] In the preferred technical solution of the control method, the control method further comprises: when the washing device washes the actual color-off clothes again, the washing device adjusts a washing program.

[0015] In the preferred technical solution of the control method, the step of "adjusting the washing program of the washing device" specifically comprises: sending prompt information to prompt the user to perform a fixing process on the actual color-off clothes; obtaining a control instruction; judging whether the content of the control instruction is to agree to perform the fixing process on the actual color-off clothes; if the content of the control instruction is to agree to perform the fixing process on the actual color-off clothes, adding a fixing agent; and / or if the content of the control instruction is to disagree to perform the fixing process on the actual color-off clothes, the washing device does not perform a heating function, and / or reduces the washing intensity.

[0016] In the preferred technical solution of the control method, during the operation of the washing machine, the color of all clothes to be washed is obtained; the color of the washing water is obtained; whether the clothes are color-off is judged based on the color of the washing water; and in the case of judging that the clothes are color-off, the actual color-off clothes are determined according to the color of the washing water and the color of the clothes. Compared with the prior art which directly determines the dark clothes as the color-off clothes, the present application can accurately determine the actual color-off clothes according to the color of the washing water and the color of the clothes in the case of judging that the clothes are color-off, avoids judging the dark clothes as the color-off clothes in any case, thereby avoiding washing all dark clothes together, and can wash the color-off dark clothes and the non-color-off dark clothes respectively, thereby improving the washing effect of the dark clothes and further improving the user experience.

[0017] Further, the first-level target clothes are accurately determined according to the color of the washing water and the color of the clothes, that is, the color of the determined first-level target clothes matches the color of the washing water, or the first-level target clothes are all the clothes to be washed, thereby avoiding the occurrence of misjudgment or missed judgment; and the first-level target clothes are selectively determined as the actual color-off clothes according to the number of the first-level target clothes, thereby improving the accuracy of the judgment and more accurately determining the actual color-off clothes.

[0018] Further, if the number is less than the preset number, it means that the number of the first-level target clothes is very small, for example, one piece, and the color of the first-level target clothes matches the color of the washing water, which can be considered as the color of the washing water being changed due to the color-off of the first-level target clothes, and thus the first-level target clothes are determined as the actual color-off clothes.

[0019] Further, if the number is greater than or equal to the preset number, it indicates that the number of the first-level target clothes is large, for example, two, three or more, and it is not determined which clothes are stained, then the first material of all the first-level target clothes is obtained, and at least one of all the stained clothes is determined as the second-level target clothes according to the first material, which can exclude the clothes in the first-level target clothes that are definitely not stained, reduce the basis for further judging whether the second-level target clothes are actually stained clothes, and more accurately determine the actually stained clothes.

[0020] Further, when the washing machine washes the second-level target clothes again, the color of the washing water is obtained again, it is judged whether the color of the washing water obtained again is consistent with the color of the washing water obtained when the second-level target clothes are washed last time, and according to the judgment result, the second-level target clothes are selectively determined as the actually stained clothes, which improves the accuracy of the judgment, more accurately determines the actually stained clothes, and avoids the occurrence of misjudgment or missed judgment.

[0021] Further, when the washing machine washes the actually stained clothes again, the washing machine adjusts the washing program, which can set a special washing program for the actually stained clothes, effectively avoids the phenomenon that the actually stained clothes are seriously stained in the washing process, improves the washing effect of the actually stained clothes, and further improves the user experience.

[0022] Further, when the washing machine washes the actually stained clothes again, a prompt information is sent to prompt the user to perform the fixing treatment on the actually stained clothes, a control instruction is obtained, it is judged whether the content of the control instruction is to agree to perform the fixing treatment on the actually stained clothes, and according to the judgment result, the fixing agent is selectively added or the heating function is not executed, the addition of the fixing agent can effectively prevent the clothes from being stained, the non-execution of the heating function effectively reduces the degree of staining of the clothes by using cold water to wash, reduces the washing strength, and reduces the dissolution degree of the dye on the clothes, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that the actually stained clothes are seriously stained in the washing process, and further improving the user experience.

[0032] 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 protection scope 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 laundry washing device such as a washer-dryer, a steam washing device, etc. Among them, the washing machine can be a pulsator washing machine, a drum washing machine, etc.

[0033] It should be noted that in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", "fifth" are only for descriptive purposes and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0034] 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 it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be connected inside two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above-mentioned terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] Based on the technical problems proposed in the background art, the present application provides a control method for a washing machine, which aims to accurately determine the actual color-off laundry according to the washing water color and the laundry color in the case of color-off laundry, avoids determining the dark laundry as the color-off laundry in any case, thereby avoiding washing all dark laundry together, can wash the color-off dark laundry and the non-color-off dark laundry respectively, improves the washing effect of the dark laundry, and further improves the user experience.

[0036] Referring first to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the control method of the present application is described. Among them, Figure 1 is the main flow chart of the control method of the present application; Figure 2 is the complete flow chart of the control method of the present application.

[0037] As Figure 1 shown, the control method of the present application comprises the following steps:

[0038] S100, during the process of washing clothes in the washing machine, the color of all the clothes to be washed is obtained;

[0039] S200, the color of the washing water is obtained;

[0040] S300, based on the color of the washing water, it is determined whether there is color loss of clothes;

[0041] S400, in the case of determining that there is color loss of clothes, the actual color loss clothes are determined according to the color of the washing water and the color of the clothes.

[0042] In step S100, the color of all the clothes to be washed is obtained when the washing machine is in standby state or after the washing machine is started but before the water injection operation is performed. Among them, the number of all the clothes to be washed can be one, two, three, four, five or more, which is determined according to the actual number of clothes washed by the user.

[0043] Further, the image acquisition mechanism such as camera or camera is arranged on the washing machine to capture the image of each piece of clothes to be washed, and the color of each piece of clothes to be washed is determined according to the image of the clothes.

[0044] Alternatively, a preset model can be called to analyze the image of the clothes, and the color of the clothes is determined according to the analysis result, wherein the preset model can be KNN model, ANN model, LR model, SVM model or other model. No matter what kind of model is used, the specific method of analyzing the image corresponding to any one of the models should not constitute any limitation on the present application.

[0045] It should be noted that the method of obtaining the color of the clothes is not limited to the above-mentioned method, but the color of the clothes can also be determined by scanning the RFID tag on the clothes. No matter what method is adopted, as long as the color of the clothes can be determined.

[0046] In step S200, after the washing machine washes all the clothes to be washed for a preset time, if the clothes have color loss, the color of the washing water is obtained after the color loss clothes are fully color loss, so as to accurately determine whether there is color loss of clothes. Among them, the preset time can be 2min, 6min, 10min or any feasible time.

[0047] Further, the color of the washing water is detected by a color sensor arranged in the washing machine.

[0048] In step S300, the method of determining whether the clothes are discolored includes comparing the color value of the washing water with a preset color value, and when the color value of the washing water is greater than or equal to the preset color value, it is determined that at least one of the clothes is discolored, and when the color value of the washing water is less than the preset color value, it is determined that none of the clothes is discolored.

[0049] Further, as shown in FIG. 2, before step S200, the control method further includes: Figure 2

[0050] S101, determining whether the color of the clothes is within a preset color range; if yes, executing step S200; if no, executing step S102;

[0051] S102, not acquiring the color of the washing water.

[0052] The preset color range includes red, dark blue, purple, green, black, gray, and dark red.

[0053] If the color of the clothes is within the preset color range, it is indicated that the clothes currently mixed for washing are dark clothes, such as red, dark blue, purple, etc., and there is a possibility of discoloration, and thus the color of the washing water is acquired to determine whether the clothes are discolored according to the color of the washing water.

[0054] In step S102, if the color of the clothes is within the preset color range, it is indicated that the clothes currently mixed for washing are light clothes, such as white, light blue, light pink, etc., and there is basically no discoloration, and thus the color of the washing water is not acquired, and the washing program is directly executed.

[0055] It should be noted that in the above process, step S102 and step S200 have no sequence and are parallel, and are only related to the determination result of whether the color of the clothes is within the preset color range, and the corresponding steps are executed according to different determination results.

[0056] The control method for determining the actual discolored clothes of the present application will be described below with reference to Figures 3 to 7 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of the control method for determining the actual discolored clothes of the present application. Figure 3 FIG. 2 is a flowchart of the control method for determining the actual discolored clothes of the present application. Figure 1 ; Figure 4 FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the control method for determining the actual discolored clothes of the present application. Figure 2 ; Figure 5 FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the control method for determining the actual discolored clothes of the present application. Figure 3 ; Figure 6 ​is the flow of the control method for determining the actual color-off clothes of the present application Figure 4 ; Figure 7 is the flow of the control method for determining the actual color-off clothes of the present application Figure 5 .

[0057] As shown in Figure 3 , the step of "determining the actual color-off clothes according to the washing water color and the clothes color" in step S400 specifically includes:

[0058] S411, determining the first-level target clothes according to the washing water color and the clothes color;

[0059] S412, counting the number of the first-level target clothes;

[0060] S413, judging whether the number is less than the preset number;

[0061] S414, selectively determining the first-level target clothes as the actual color-off clothes according to the judgment result.

[0062] In step S411, the washing water color and the clothes color are compared one by one, and the first-level target clothes are determined according to the comparison result.

[0063] Suppose that the clothes to be washed are four in total, among which the first clothes are red, the second clothes are red, the third clothes are black, and the fourth clothes are dark blue in color. If the washing water color is red, which matches the colors of the first clothes and the second clothes, it can be initially considered that the first clothes and the second clothes are likely to color-off, so the first clothes and the second clothes are determined as the first-level target clothes. If the washing water color is black, which matches the color of the third clothes, it can be determined that the third clothes color-off, so the third clothes are determined as the first-level target clothes. If the washing water color is dark brown, which does not particularly match the color of any clothes, it cannot be determined which clothes color-off, so the four clothes are all determined as the first-level target clothes. That is, the color of the determined first-level target clothes matches the color of the washing water color, or the first-level target clothes are all the clothes to be washed, avoiding the occurrence of misjudgment or omission.

[0064] It should be noted that the above-mentioned clothes number and color are only exemplary and not limitative, and those skilled in the art can determine the clothes number and color according to the actual washing situation.

[0065] As shown in Figure 4 , the step of "determining the actual color-off clothes according to the washing water color and the clothes color" in step S400 specifically includes:

[0066] S421、If the number is less than the preset number, the first-level target clothes are determined as actual color-off clothes, and a first mark is set for the actual color-off clothes;

[0067] S422、If the number is greater than or equal to the preset number, the first material of all the first-level target clothes is obtained;

[0068] S423、At least one of all the first-level target clothes is determined as a second-level target clothes according to the first material, and a second mark is set for the second-level target clothes.

[0069] In step S421, if the number is less than the preset number, for example, the preset number is 2, and the number of the first-level target clothes counted in step S412 is 1, for example, when the color of the washing water is black in step S411, only the third clothes are determined as the first-level target clothes, which is less than the preset number, indicating that the number of the first-level target clothes is very small, only one, and it is meaningless to determine that the third clothes are color-off, so the third clothes (i.e., the first-level target clothes) are determined as actual color-off clothes, and a first mark is set for the actual color-off clothes, so as to adjust the washing program when the clothes are washed again.

[0070] In step S422, if the number is greater than or equal to the preset number, for example, the preset number is 2, and the number of the first-level target clothes counted in step S412 is 2, for example, when the color of the washing water is red in step S411, the first clothes and the second clothes are determined as the first-level target clothes, which is equal to the preset number; or the number of the first-level target clothes counted in step S412 is 4, for example, when the color of the washing water is dark brown in step S411, the four clothes are all determined as the first-level target clothes, which is greater than the preset number, indicating that the number of the first-level target clothes is relatively large, and it is impossible to determine which clothes are color-off, so the first material of all the first-level target clothes is obtained, so as to determine at least one of all the first-level target clothes as a second-level target clothes.

[0071] For example, the first material of the first clothes is cotton, the first material of the second clothes is polyester, the first material of the third clothes is jeans, and the first material of the fourth clothes is natural silk. The material of the second clothes is polyester, which is not easy to fade, and the materials of the other three clothes are easy to fade. Therefore, in the case of determining the first clothes and the second clothes as the first-level target clothes, the first clothes can be further determined as the second-level target clothes, although there is only one second-level target clothes at this time. In order to avoid misjudgment, the second-level target clothes cannot be directly determined as the actual faded clothes. In the case of determining the four clothes as the first-level target clothes, the first clothes, the third clothes, and the fourth clothes can be further determined as the second-level target clothes. The second-level target clothes are provided with a second mark, so that when the second-level target clothes are determined again, it is further determined whether the second-level target clothes are faded.

[0072] It should be noted that in the above process, steps S421 and S422 have no sequence and are parallel, and are only related to the judgment result of whether the number is less than the preset number, and the corresponding steps can be executed according to different judgment results.

[0073] As shown in Figure 5 The control method further comprises:

[0074] S423, when the washing machine washes the second-level target clothes again, the color of the washing water is acquired again;

[0075] S424, it is judged whether the color of the washing water acquired again is consistent with the color of the washing water acquired when the second-level target clothes are washed last time;

[0076] S425, according to the judgment result, the second-level target clothes are selectively determined as the actual faded clothes.

[0077] In step S423, the color sensor arranged in the washing machine is used to detect the color of the washing water.

[0078] In step S424, the chroma of the washing water detected again is compared with the chroma of the washing water detected when the second-level target clothes are washed last time (for example, the chroma of the washing water detected in step S200), and it is judged whether the chroma of the washing water detected again is completely consistent with the chroma of the washing water detected last time, or within a preset chroma deviation range, for example, the chroma of the washing water detected last time is C, and the preset chroma deviation range is 0.95C-1.05C. Of course, the preset chroma deviation range is not limited to the range listed above, but can also be 0.9C-1.1C, or 0.85C-1.15C, and other ranges.

[0079] As shown in Figure 6As shown, the step of "selectively determining the second-level target clothes as the actual color-off clothes according to the judgment result" in step S425 specifically includes:

[0080] S431, if the washing water color obtained again is consistent with the washing water color detected when washing the second-level target clothes last time, detecting whether there is clothes belonging to the same color family as the second-level target clothes in the clothes washed again;

[0081] S432, if there is clothes belonging to the same color family as the second-level target clothes in the clothes washed again, judging whether the second-level target clothes is the actual color-off clothes according to the second material of the second-level target clothes and the third material of the clothes belonging to the same color family as the second-level target clothes;

[0082] S433, if there is no clothes belonging to the same color family as the second-level target clothes in the clothes washed again, determining the second-level target clothes as the actual color-off clothes.

[0083] In step S431, if the washing water color obtained again is consistent with the washing water color detected when washing the second-level target clothes last time, for example, the second-level target clothes washed again is the first clothes, and the washing water color detected again is red, which is consistent with the washing water color (for example, red) detected last time, if only one red clothes exists when washing the first clothes (i.e. the second-level target clothes) again, it can be determined that the first clothes is color-off, therefore, whether there is clothes belonging to the same color family as the second-level target clothes in the clothes washed again is detected. For example, the image of each clothes washed again is captured by the image acquisition mechanism such as camera, camera, etc. arranged on the washing machine, and the color of each clothes washed again is determined according to the image of the clothes; or the color of the clothes is identified by calling the preset model; or the color of the clothes is identified by scanning the RFID tag.

[0084] In step S432, if there is clothes belonging to the same color family as the second-level target clothes in the clothes washed again, for example, there is red clothes (set as the fifth clothes) in the clothes washed again, which belongs to the same color family as the first clothes, therefore, it cannot be determined whether the first clothes or the fifth clothes is color-off, then whether the second-level target clothes is the actual color-off clothes is judged according to the second material of the second-level target clothes and the third material of the clothes belonging to the same color family as the second-level target clothes.

[0085] For example, the second material of the first clothes is cotton, and the third material of the fifth clothes is nylon, wherein the nylon is not easy to color-off, therefore, it can be determined that the first clothes is color-off, and the first clothes is determined as the actual color-off clothes.

[0086] For example, the second material of the first garment is cotton, and the third material of the fifth garment is hemp, both of which are easy to fade. If it is not determined whether the first garment has faded, the washing machine again washes the second-level target garment, and the washing water color is again obtained. Steps S424 and S425 are executed until it is determined whether the first garment has faded.

[0087] In step S433, if there is no garment with the same color as the second-level target garment in the re-washed garments, it means that only the first garment is red when re-washed, and the re-detected washing water color is red. It can be meaningless to determine that the first garment has faded. Therefore, the first garment (i.e., the second-level target garment) is determined as the actual faded garment.

[0088] Referring back to Figure 6 , in step S425, the step of "selectively determining the second-level target garment as the actual faded garment according to the determination result" further includes:

[0089] S434, if the re-obtained washing water color is different from the washing water color detected when the second-level target garment is washed last time, the washing water color is again obtained when the washing machine again washes the second-level target garment;

[0090] S435, selectively determining the second-level target garment as the actual faded garment according to the re-obtained washing water color.

[0091] In steps S434 and S435, if the re-obtained washing water color is different from the washing water color detected when the second-level target garment is washed last time, for example, the second-level target garment re-washed is the first garment, and the re-detected washing water color is red, which is different from the washing water color (e.g., dark brown) detected last time. It cannot be determined whether the first garment has faded. Therefore, the washing water color is again obtained when the washing machine again washes the second-level target garment, and the second-level target garment is selectively determined as the actual faded garment according to the re-obtained washing water color until it is determined whether the first garment has faded.

[0092] It should be noted that in the above process, steps S431 and S434 have no sequence and are parallel. They are only related to the determination result of whether the re-obtained washing water color is consistent with the washing water color obtained when the second-level target garment is washed last time. The corresponding steps can be executed according to different determination results. Steps S432 and S433 have no sequence and are parallel. They are only related to the detection result of whether there is a garment with the same color as the second-level target garment in the re-washed garments. The corresponding steps can be executed according to different detection results.

[0093] The control method of the present application is further described below with reference to Figure 2 and Figure 7 The control method of the present application is further described below with reference to Figure 7 is a flow chart of the control method of the present application for adjusting the washing program.

[0094] As shown in Figure 2 , the control method further comprises:

[0095] S500, when the washing machine washes the actual color-off clothes again, the washing machine adjusts the washing program.

[0096] With the above method, when the washing machine washes the actual color-off clothes again, the washing machine adjusts the washing program, which can set a special washing program for the actual color-off clothes, effectively avoid the phenomenon of serious color-off of the actual color-off clothes during washing, improve the washing effect of the actual color-off clothes, and further improve the user experience.

[0097] As shown in Figure 7 , the step of "adjusting the washing program of the washing machine" in step S500 specifically comprises:

[0098] S511, sending a prompt information to prompt the user to perform color fixing treatment on the actual color-off clothes;

[0099] S512, obtaining a control instruction;

[0100] S513, judging whether the content of the control instruction is to agree to perform color fixing treatment on the actual color-off clothes;

[0101] S514, if the content of the control instruction is to agree to perform color fixing treatment on the actual color-off clothes, adding a color fixing agent;

[0102] S515, if the content of the control instruction is to disagree to perform color fixing treatment on the actual color-off clothes, the washing machine does not perform the heating function, and reduces the washing strength.

[0103] In step S511, the washing machine can send the prompt information in the form of voice or ring tone to remind the user to perform color fixing treatment on the actual color-off clothes. The washing machine can also send the prompt information to the user's mobile phone, tablet, smart bracelet and other terminal devices.

[0104] In step S512, the step of obtaining the control instruction of the user can be performed after sending the prompt information and after a certain interval of time, such as 20s, 40s, 1min or 1.5min or other time, to ensure that the user is given enough time to determine whether to agree to perform color fixing treatment on the actual color-off clothes after receiving the prompt information.

[0105] Further, the voice control instruction of the user can be acquired through the voice module, or the control instruction input by the user can be acquired through the control terminal of the washing machine, or the control instruction input by the user can be acquired through the intelligent terminal.

[0106] In step S514, if the content of the control instruction is to agree to the fixing treatment of the actually discolored clothes, it is indicated that the user agrees to the fixing treatment of the actually discolored clothes, and the washing machine can be controlled to automatically add the fixing agent or the user can manually add the fixing agent. No matter which way is adopted, as long as the fixing agent can be added.

[0107] In step S515, if the content of the control instruction is to disagree to the fixing treatment of the actually discolored clothes, it is indicated that the user does not want to add the fixing agent even if the clothes are discolored. In this case, in order to reduce the discoloration degree of the clothes, the washing machine is not executed to have the heating function, and the cold water washing is adopted to effectively reduce the discoloration degree of the clothes, reduce the washing strength, and reduce the dissolution degree of the dye on the clothes, so as to avoid the phenomenon that the actually discolored clothes are seriously discolored in the washing process, and further improve the user experience. Of course, the washing machine can also be only executed not to have the heating function, or only the washing strength is reduced.

[0108] In the washing machine, the heating function can be cancelled in the case of selecting the heating function, or the heating function can be locked so that the heating function cannot be selected in the case of not selecting the heating function, so that the heating function cannot be executed.

[0109] It should be noted that in the above process, steps S514 and S515 have no sequence and are parallel, and are only related to the content of the control instruction. According to different control instructions, the corresponding steps are executed.

[0110] Referring again to Figure 2 , the control method further comprises:

[0111] In step S600, if there is no discoloration of the clothes, all the clothes to be washed are determined as non-discolored clothes.

[0112] In step S600, if there is no discoloration of the clothes, all the clothes to be washed are determined as non-discolored clothes.

[0113] It should be noted that in the above process, steps S400 and S600 have no sequence and are parallel, and are only related to the judgment result of whether there is discoloration of the clothes. According to different judgment results, the corresponding steps are executed.

[0114] Referring to Figure 8A possible control flow of the present application is introduced. Among them, Figure 8 is a logic diagram of the control method of the present application.
