Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of smart home appliance technology, specifically providing a control method for washing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Washing machines are common household appliances for washing clothes. Based on washing methods, washing machines can be broadly classified into top-loading (pulsator) washing machines and front-loading (drum) washing machines. Taking front-loading washing machines as an example, to meet user needs, they are equipped with a program recommendation function, allowing the machine to run according to recommended washing programs, thereby improving the washing effect of clothes.

[0003] In practical applications, the recommended washing program parameters are based on a set method, taking into account the color, material, type, and other attributes of the clothes. However, the washing effect of clothes is not only related to the washing parameters, but also to the user's wearing habits and the performance of the washing machine. Therefore, even if the washing machine washes clothes according to the recommended washing parameters, it may not be able to clean the clothes thoroughly. If the user uses the program again with the same recommended washing parameters, the clothes may still not be cleaned properly, leading to repeated problems of unclean clothes and seriously affecting the user experience.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need in the art for a new control method for washing equipment to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problem, namely, to solve the problem that existing washing equipment always washes clothes according to the recommended fixed washing parameters, resulting in clothes being repeatedly not cleaned properly.

[0006] The present invention provides a control method for a washing device, the control method comprising the following steps: after the washing program of the washing device has completed its current operation, querying the user whether the clothes are clean; obtaining a first instruction; determining whether the content of the first instruction indicates that the clothes are not clean; and, based on the determination result, selectively causing the washing device to store the washing parameters of the washing program or adjusting the washing parameters of the washing program.

[0007] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively storing the washing parameters of the washing program or adjusting the washing parameters of the washing program according to the judgment result" specifically includes: if the content of the first instruction is that the clothes are not clean, then the washing parameters are adjusted.

[0008] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "adjusting the washing parameters" specifically includes: determining the adjustment method of the washing parameters; and causing the washing equipment to adjust the washing parameters according to the adjustment method.

[0009] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "determining the adjustment method of the washing parameters" specifically includes: asking the user how to adjust the washing parameters; obtaining a second instruction; and determining the adjustment method according to the second instruction.

[0010] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "determining the adjustment method according to the second instruction" specifically includes: if the content of the second instruction is to adjust the washing parameters according to the first method, then the washing equipment automatically adjusts the washing parameters.

[0011] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "making the washing equipment automatically adjust the washing parameters" specifically includes: making the washing equipment adjust the washing parameters in at least one of the following ways: extending the washing time; increasing the washing temperature; increasing the start-stop ratio of the washing equipment; increasing the amount of detergent added.

[0012] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "determining the adjustment method according to the second instruction" further includes: if the content of the second instruction is to adjust the washing parameters in a second manner, then asking the user how to adjust the washing parameters; obtaining a third instruction; and causing the washing device to adjust the washing parameters based on the third instruction.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the above control method, after "adjusting the washing parameters", the control method further includes: determining whether the clothes are put back into the washing drum of the washing equipment; if it is determined that the clothes are put back into the washing drum of the washing equipment, causing the washing equipment to run the washing program again based on the adjusted washing parameters.

[0014] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively enabling the washing device to store the washing parameters of the washing program or adjusting the washing parameters of the washing program according to the judgment result" further includes: if the content of the first instruction is that the clothes are clean, then enabling the washing device to store the washing parameters, and / or enabling the washing device to upload the washing parameters to the server.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the above control method, the control method further includes: when the washing device runs the washing program again, causing the washing device to run the washing program based on the stored washing parameters.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the control method of the present invention, after the washing program of the washing machine is completed, the user is asked whether the clothes are clean; a first instruction is obtained; it is determined whether the content of the first instruction is that the clothes are not clean; based on the determination result, the washing machine is selectively made to store the washing parameters of the washing program or adjust the washing parameters of the washing program.

[0017] Compared to existing technologies where washing machines always wash clothes according to recommended washing parameters, this invention asks the user whether the clothes are clean after the washing program has finished running. The user manually judges the cleanliness of the clothes during this process, allowing for a more accurate assessment and preventing misjudgments. Furthermore, by selectively storing or adjusting the washing program parameters, this invention ensures that the stored or adjusted parameters effectively clean the clothes, preventing repeated instances of inadequate cleaning and thus improving the user experience.

[0018] Furthermore, if it is determined that the clothes are not clean, the washing machine asks the user how to adjust the washing parameters; obtains a second instruction; and determines the adjustment method based on the second instruction. Even if it is determined that the washing parameters of the washing program need to be adjusted, the washing machine cannot directly adjust the washing parameters of the washing program. Instead, it needs to determine the adjustment method of the washing program parameters based on the user's second instruction, prioritizing the user's needs and providing the user with the best user experience.

[0019] Furthermore, after adjusting the washing parameters of the washing program, it is determined whether the clothes are put back into the washing machine drum. If it is determined that the clothes are put back into the washing machine drum, it means that the user wants to wash the uncleaned clothes again and wants to clean them properly. The washing machine then runs the washing program again based on the adjusted washing parameters to ensure that the uncleaned clothes are cleaned properly, thus avoiding the repeated occurrence of uncleaned clothes and improving the user experience.

[0020] Furthermore, if the washing machine determines that the clothes are clean, it indicates that the current washing parameters are suitable and sufficient to clean the clothes without adjustment. The washing machine then stores the washing program parameters, ensuring that the stored parameters are sufficient for cleaning. These washing program parameters are also uploaded to the server to prevent data loss. Even further, when the washing machine runs the washing program again, it simply uses the stored parameters to ensure the clothes are clean, preventing repeated instances of incomplete cleaning and thus improving the user experience.

[0027] Figure 6 This is a logic diagram of the control method of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0028] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. For example, although this application is described in conjunction with a washing machine, the technical solution of the present invention is not limited thereto, and this control method can obviously also be applied to other washing equipment such as washer-dryer combos and shoe washing machines; such changes do not depart from the principles and scope of the present invention.

[0029] It should be noted that in the description of this invention, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "setup" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] Based on the technical problems mentioned in the background art, the present invention provides a control method for a washing machine. After the washing program of the washing machine is completed, the method queries the user to determine whether the clothes are clean. Based on the query result, it determines whether the clothes are clean. During this process, the user manually judges whether the clothes are clean, which allows for a more accurate assessment and improves the accuracy of the judgment, avoiding misjudgments. Furthermore, the washing machine can selectively store or adjust the washing parameters of the washing program, ensuring that the stored or adjusted parameters can clean the clothes effectively, avoiding repeated instances of inadequate cleaning, and thus improving the user experience.

[0032] First see Figure 1 The control method of the present invention will be described below. Figure 1 This is the main flowchart of the control method of the present invention.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0034] S100: After the washing cycle of the washing machine is completed, ask the user whether the clothes are clean.

[0035] S200, Obtain the first instruction;

[0036] S300: Determine whether the content of the first instruction is that the clothes are not clean;

[0037] S400: Based on the judgment result, selectively allow the washing machine to store the washing parameters of the washing program or adjust the washing parameters of the washing program.

[0038] Step S100: After the washing program of the washing machine has been completed but before it has been turned off, the voice module controlling the washing machine asks the user in a voice manner whether the clothes are clean, etc.

[0039] Alternatively, the washing machine's display screen can show "Are the clothes clean?" in the form of text, animation, or other means to ask the user.

[0040] Alternatively, the washing machine can be controlled to send a message to a smart terminal in the form of text, animation, or voice to inquire whether the clothes are clean.

[0041] In step S200, the step of obtaining the user's first instruction can be executed only after asking the user whether the clothes are clean and after a first set time interval, such as 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, or 3 minutes, to ensure that the user has sufficient time to remove the clothes from the washing machine drum and check whether they are clean after receiving the inquiry information. The washing drum includes an outer drum disposed within the washing machine casing and an inner drum rotatably disposed within the outer drum. The outer drum holds the washing water, and the inner drum holds the clothes. Although the term "drum" is used, it is not limited to front-loading washing machines; it can also be a top-loading washing machine.

[0042] Furthermore, the user's first voice command can be obtained through the voice module; or, the user's first command can be obtained through the washing machine's control terminal; or, the user's first command can be obtained through a smart terminal.

[0043] The following reference Figures 2 to 5 The present invention describes a control method for selectively storing or adjusting washing parameters of a washing program. Wherein, Figure 2 This is a flowchart of the control method for selectively storing or adjusting washing parameters according to the present invention; Figure 3 This is a flowchart of the control method for adjusting washing parameters according to the present invention; Figure 4 This is the flow chart of the control method for determining the adjustment mode of washing parameters according to the present invention. Figure 1 ; Figure 5 This is the flow chart of the control method for determining the adjustment mode of washing parameters according to the present invention. Figure 2 .

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, step S400, specifically including the step of "selectively storing the washing parameters of the washing program or adjusting the washing parameters of the washing program based on the judgment result", includes:

[0045] S411. If the first instruction indicates that the clothes are not clean, adjust the washing parameters.

[0046] In step S411, if the first instruction indicates that the clothes are not clean, it means that the user has determined after inspection that the clothes are indeed not clean. For example, there are stains on the clothes that are different colors from other colors. This means that the washing parameters of the current washing program are not suitable and cannot clean the clothes. The washing parameters of the washing program need to be adjusted to avoid the situation of clothes not being cleaned in the future.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, step S411, the step of "adjusting washing parameters" specifically includes:

[0048] S421. Determine the method for adjusting the washing parameters;

[0049] S422. Make the washing machine adjust the washing parameters according to the adjustment method.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, step S421, "determining the adjustment method for washing parameters," specifically includes:

[0051] S431. Ask the user how to adjust the washing parameters;

[0052] S432, Obtain the second instruction;

[0053] S433. Determine the adjustment method according to the second instruction.

[0054] In step S431, the voice module controlling the washing machine asks the user by voice how to adjust the washing parameters; for example, it asks the user by voice whether to adjust the washing parameters in the first way or whether to adjust the washing parameters in the second way.

[0055] Alternatively, the washing machine's display screen can show "Do you want to adjust the washing parameters in the first way?" or "Do you want to adjust the washing parameters in the second way?" in the form of text, animation, etc., to ask the user how to adjust the washing parameters.

[0056] Alternatively, the washing machine can send messages such as "Do you want to adjust the washing parameters in the first way?" or "Do you want to adjust the washing parameters in the second way?" to the smart terminal to ask the user how to adjust the washing parameters.

[0057] In step S432, the step of obtaining the user's second instruction can be executed only after asking the user how to adjust the washing parameters and after a second set time interval, such as 20s, 40s, 1min, or 1.5min, to ensure that the user is given enough time to determine how to adjust the washing parameters after receiving the inquiry information.

[0058] Furthermore, a second voice command from the user can be obtained through a voice module; alternatively, a second command input by the user can be obtained through the washing machine's control terminal; or alternatively, a second command input by the user can be obtained through a smart terminal.

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, step S433, the step of "determining the adjustment method according to the second instruction" specifically includes:

[0060] S441. Determine whether the content of the second instruction is to adjust the washing parameters according to the first method; if yes, proceed to step S442; if no, proceed to step S443.

[0061] S442. Enables the washing machine to automatically adjust washing parameters;

[0062] S443. Ask the user how to adjust the washing parameters;

[0063] S444, Obtain the third instruction;

[0064] S445, enables the washing machine to adjust washing parameters based on a third instruction.

[0065] The first method involves the washing machine automatically adjusting the washing parameters; the second method involves the washing machine adjusting the washing parameters according to the user's instructions.

[0066] In step S442, if the second instruction involves adjusting the washing parameters in the first manner, it indicates that the user wants the washing machine to adjust the washing parameters, in which case the washing machine can automatically adjust the washing parameters. Preferably, the washing time can be extended, the washing temperature increased, the washing machine's spin-stop ratio increased, and the amount of detergent added increased. Of course, in practical applications, only one, two, or three of the above parameters can be adjusted. Adjustable washing parameters may also include other parameters such as washing water level, number of rinses, and water inlet method; those skilled in the art can flexibly set adjustable parameters according to usage requirements.

[0067] For example, extending the washing time by 6 minutes, increasing the washing temperature by 6°C, increasing the start-stop ratio to 1.2 / 0.8, and increasing the amount of detergent by 6g.

[0068] In step S443, if the second instruction is to adjust the washing parameters in the second way, it means that the user wants to adjust the washing parameters himself. Then, the user is asked how to adjust the washing parameters, taking the user's needs into account, so that the user can get the best user experience.

[0069] For example, the voice module controlling the washing machine can ask the user "how to adjust the washing time" via voice; or the display screen controlling the washing machine can display "how to adjust the washing temperature" in the form of text, animation, etc., to ask the user; or the washing machine can send the message "how to adjust the amount of detergent" to the smart terminal in the form of text, animation, voice, etc., to ask the user.

[0070] In step S444, the step of obtaining the user's third instruction can be executed only after asking the user how to adjust the washing parameters and after a third set time interval, such as 20s, 30s, 40s or 1min, to ensure that the user has enough time to determine how to adjust the washing parameters after receiving the inquiry information.

[0071] Furthermore, a third voice command from the user can be obtained through the voice module; or, a third command input by the user can be obtained through the washing machine's control terminal; or, a third command input by the user can be obtained through a smart terminal.

[0072] In step S445, for example, if the third instruction is to extend the washing time by 11 minutes, then the washing time will be extended by 11 minutes; or, if the third instruction is to increase the washing temperature by 7°C, then the washing temperature will be increased by 7°C; or, if the third instruction is to increase the amount of detergent by 9g, then the amount of detergent will be increased by 9g, etc. This is entirely based on the user's needs, so that the user can obtain the best user experience.

[0073] It should be noted that in the above process, steps S442 and S443 are not sequential but parallel, and are only related to the content of the second instruction. The corresponding steps can be executed according to the specific content of the second instruction.

[0074] See again Figure 2 After "adjusting washing parameters", the control method also includes:

[0075] S511. Determine whether the clothes have been put back into the washing drum; if yes, proceed to step S512; if no, proceed to step S513.

[0076] S512. Make the washing machine run the washing program again based on the adjusted washing parameters;

[0077] S513, stop the washing machine from running.

[0078] Step S511: After adjusting the washing parameters of the washing program and after a fourth set time interval, such as 15s, 30s, 45s, or 1min, the step of determining whether the clothes should be put back into the inner drum is executed. This ensures that after the user adjusts the washing parameters, they are given enough time to determine whether to wash the uncleaned clothes again and whether to put the uncleaned clothes back into the washing drum for washing again.

[0079] Furthermore, a specific method for determining whether clothes have been put back into the washing drum can be: An image acquisition device such as a camera installed on the washing machine can capture an image of the inner drum. The image can then be used to determine if clothes are inside the drum. If clothes are present, it can be determined that the user has put them back into the drum; otherwise, it can be determined that the user has not. Alternatively, a door detection component on the washing machine can detect whether the door is open. If the door is open, it can be determined that the user has put clothes back into the drum; otherwise, it can be determined that the user has not.

[0080] Of course, the methods for determining whether clothes have been put back into the washing drum are not limited to those listed above. Another method is to use a weight detection component inside the washing machine to detect the current weight of the inner drum and determine if the current weight is greater than a preset weight (e.g., the weight of the empty inner drum, or other weights determined by those skilled in the art through experimentation or experience). If the current weight is greater than the preset weight, it indicates that the weight of the inner drum has increased, and it can be determined that the user has put the clothes back into the inner drum. If the current weight is less than or equal to the preset weight, it indicates that the weight of the inner drum has not increased, and it can be determined that the user has not put the clothes back into the inner drum. Regardless of the method used, as long as it can determine whether clothes have been put back into the inner drum, it is acceptable.

[0081] In step S512, if it is determined that the clothes are put back into the washing drum of the washing machine, it means that the user wants to wash the uncleaned clothes again and wants to clean them properly. The washing machine will then run the washing program again based on the adjusted washing parameters to ensure that the uncleaned clothes are cleaned properly, thus avoiding the repeated occurrence of uncleaned clothes and improving the user experience.

[0082] In step S513, if it is determined that the clothes have not been put back into the washing drum of the washing machine, it means that the user will not wash the uncleaned clothes again, so the washing machine will stop running and can be turned off directly.

[0083] It should be noted that in the above process, steps S512 and S513 are not sequential but parallel, and are only related to the judgment result of whether the clothes are put back into the washing drum. The corresponding steps can be executed according to different judgment results.

[0084] Continue reading below. Figure 2 In step S400, the step of "selectively storing the washing parameters of the washing program or adjusting the washing parameters of the washing program based on the judgment result" further includes:

[0085] S412. If the first instruction is that the clothes are clean, then the washing machine stores the washing parameters and uploads the washing parameters to the server.

[0086] In step S412, if the first instruction indicates that the clothes are clean, it means that the current washing parameters are suitable and can clean the clothes, and no adjustment is needed. The washing machine stores the washing parameters of the washing program to ensure that the stored parameters can clean the clothes. The washing parameters of the washing program are then uploaded to the server to avoid data loss.

[0087] Of course, in the above steps, the washing machine may only store the washing parameters, or only upload the washing parameters to the server. Those skilled in the art can adjust and determine the specific execution content of step S412 according to actual usage needs.

[0088] It should be noted that in the above process, steps S411 and S412 are not sequential but parallel, and are only related to the content of the first instruction. The corresponding steps can be executed according to the specific content of the first instruction.

[0089] See again next time Figure 2 After step S412, the control method further includes:

[0090] S514. When the washing machine runs the washing program again, the washing machine runs the washing program based on the stored washing parameters.

[0091] In step S514, since it has been proven in step S412 that the stored washing parameters can clean the clothes, when the washing machine runs the washing program corresponding to the washing parameters again, it can directly run the washing program based on the stored washing parameters, which can clean the clothes and avoid the repeated occurrence of clothes not being cleaned, thereby improving the user experience.

[0092] The following reference Figure 6 This paper describes one possible control flow of the present invention. Figure 6 This is a logic diagram of the control method of the present invention.

[0093] like Figure 6 As shown, a possible complete flow of the control method of the present invention is as follows:

[0094] S601. After the washing machine's current washing program has finished running but before the washing machine is turned off, ask the user if the clothes are clean.

[0105] S611. Determine whether the clothes have been put back into the inner drum; if yes, proceed to step S612; if no, proceed to step S613.

[0106] S612. The washing machine runs the washing program again based on the adjusted washing parameters; after step S612, return to step S601 until it is determined that the clothes are clean or the clothes are not put back into the inner drum.

[0107] S613, Stop the washing machine from running;

[0108] S614. Enable the washing machine to store washing parameters and upload the washing parameters to the server;

[0109] After step S614, step S615 is executed;

[0110] S615. When the washing machine runs the washing program again, the washing machine runs the washing program based on the stored washing parameters.
