[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, clothes processing equipment such as washing machines, clothes dryers and washing-drying integrated machines has become a common household appliance in people's lives. Among them, one of the commonly used clothes processing equipment of a drum washing machine is mainly used for washing, rinsing and dewatering clothes and other processing operations.

[0003] The existing drum washing machine usually relies on the lifting ribs arranged in the drum to lift the clothes to the highest point, and then relies on the action of gravity to achieve the effect of beating the clothes. During the washing process, the lifting ribs usually lift the clothes in a lump, causing the clothes in the drum to be more aggregated, which can increase the eccentricity of the drum, easily cause the drum to hit and shift, and the clothes in a lump cannot be dispersed for washing during the washing process, so that the corners of the clothes cannot be uniformly cleaned, resulting in poor cleaning quality and low cleaning efficiency. That is, the existing drum washing machine has the problem that the lifting ribs easily cause the clothes to be aggregated in a lump during the washing process, resulting in poor washing effect of the clothes.

[0004] Correspondingly, there is a need in the art for a new clothes processing equipment and a control method thereof to solve the problems existing in the prior art. SUMMARY

[0037] Based on the problem that the existing drum washing machine mentioned in the background art is prone to cause the laundry to be gathered into a group during the washing process of the laundry, thereby resulting in poor washing effect of the laundry, the present application provides a laundry treatment apparatus, under different washing modes of the laundry treatment apparatus, the driving device can drive the brushing assembly to extend a corresponding length from the first mounting hole towards the drum to participate in lifting and washing the laundry, thereby avoiding the laundry from being gathered into a group after being lifted, that is, by controlling the brushing assembly to extend a corresponding length under different washing modes, the effective lifting and thorough cleaning of the laundry in the drum can be achieved, which not only avoids the laundry from being gathered into a group during the washing process, but also ensures the cleaning efficiency and cleaning quality of the laundry, and optimizes the user's use experience.

[0038] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 8 Figure 1 is a schematic view of a drum structure of a drum washing machine in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of a drum of a drum washing machine in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 is a partial cross-sectional view of a drum of a drum washing machine in a soft washing mode in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 4 is a partial cross-sectional view of a drum of a drum washing machine in a standard washing mode in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 5 ​is a partial sectional view of a drum of a drum washing machine in a power washing mode in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 6 is a flow chart of the control method of the present application; Figure 7 is a flow chart of the control method of a drum washing machine in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 8 is a flow chart of the control method of a drum washing machine in another embodiment of the present application.

[0039] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 to 5 , the drum washing machine comprises a cabinet (not shown in the figure), an outer drum (not shown in the figure) arranged in the cabinet, and a rotatable drum 1 arranged in the outer drum. The drum wall 11 of the drum 1 is uniformly distributed with a plurality of first mounting holes 12 extending in the radial direction along the circumference. As shown in Figure 1 , the drum wall 11 of the drum 1 is uniformly distributed with three distribution areas of the first mounting holes 12 along the circumference, each distribution area is uniformly distributed with 12 first mounting holes 12, and the 12 first mounting holes 12 are distributed in the form of a 4x3 array. It should be noted that in specific applications, the size, shape, and number of the first mounting holes 12 in this embodiment can be adjusted, and the above-mentioned arrangement is only an exemplary arrangement and does not limit the protection scope of the present application. In actual applications, it can be flexibly adjusted, for example, the drum wall 11 of the drum 1 can be arranged with 2, 4 or more distribution areas of the first mounting holes 12, and the first mounting holes 12 of each distribution area can be arranged in the form of a 3x3 array, a 3x5 array, a 4x4 array or other array forms.

[0040] As shown in Figures 2 to 5As shown, the first mounting hole 12 contains a brushing assembly, which includes a brush handle 21 and a brush head 22 fixed at the first end of the brush handle 21, the brush head 22 is a brush head made of silica gel, the first mounting hole 12 also contains a driving device, which includes a magnet 31 and an electromagnet 32, the magnet 31 is arranged at the second end of the brush handle 21, and the electromagnet 32 is fixed on the first mounting hole 12. The opposite sides of the brush handle 21 are respectively provided with a second mounting hole 23, and the first mounting hole 11 is provided with a limiting part, which includes a plurality of recess structures 41 with triangular cross section, a clamping member 42 and a spring 43, the plurality of recess structures 41 are distributed on the side wall opposite to the second mounting hole 23 along the axial direction of the first mounting hole 12, the clamping member 42 is in sliding connection with the inner wall of the second mounting hole 23, the tail end (the end close to the second mounting hole 23) of the clamping member 42 is connected with the second mounting hole 23 through the spring 43, and the head end (the end close to the outside of the second mounting hole 23) of the clamping member 42 is arranged in a structure matching the recess structure 41. In the state that the brushing assembly is completely retracted into the first mounting hole 12, the head end of the clamping member 42 abuts against the inner wall of the first mounting hole 12, and the clamping member 42 is compressed by the extrusion of the inner wall of the first mounting hole 12 and accommodated in the second mounting hole 23.

[0041] When the electromagnet 32 passes through a forward current to generate a repulsive force with the magnet 31, the brush handle 21 is driven to move in the first mounting hole 12 towards the inside of the drum 1, and the brush head 22 extends out of the first mounting hole 12 and enters the drum 1. When the brush head 22 extends to a set length, the electromagnet 32 is powered off. At this time, the clamping member 42 extends out of the second mounting hole 23, and the head end thereof extends into the corresponding recess structure 41, and the head end of the clamping member 42 abuts against the recess structure 41 to limit the brushing assembly, so that the brushing assembly remains in the current extended state. When the electromagnet 32 passes through a reverse current to generate an attractive force with the magnet 31, the brush handle 21 is driven to move in the first mounting hole 12 towards the inside of the drum 1, and the brush head 22 retracts into the first mounting hole 12. At this time, the head end of the clamping member 42 is forced to move out of the recess structure 41, and the clamping member 42 retracts into the second mounting hole 23, and then the electromagnet 32 is powered off.

[0042] The above setting mode has the advantages that the repulsive force and the attractive force of the magnet 31 and the electromagnet 32 can be used to control the extension / retraction of the brush handle 21 and the brush head 22 in the first mounting hole 12, and the limiting of the brushing assembly is realized through the cooperation of the recess structure 41 and the clamping member 42, so that the brushing assembly extends from the first mounting hole 12 towards the drum 1 by a corresponding length to participate in the lifting of the clothes and the washing in different washing modes of the drum washing machine.

[0043] It should be noted that the brush head 22 is made of silica gel, which is only an exemplary setting mode. The brush head 22 can also be a brush head made of rubber or a brush made of plastic. In addition, the electromagnet 32 can also be fixed on the outer wall of the drum 1, or the positions of the electromagnet 32 and the magnet 31 can be interchanged, or the driving device is set as a first electromagnet and a second electromagnet, the second end of the brush handle 21 is provided with the first electromagnet, and the second electromagnet is arranged on the outer wall of the drum 1 or the first mounting hole 11. In addition, the recess structure 41 can also be arranged as a hemispherical structure, and correspondingly, the head of the limiting structure 42 is also arranged as a hemispherical structure. The above setting of the shape of the recess structure 41 and the limiting structure 42 is only one possible implementation, and is not limited, as long as the limiting structure 42 can be clamped in the recess structure 41.

[0044] In another possible implementation, the limiting portion in the first mounting hole 12 can also be arranged as a plurality of elastic blocks. The plurality of elastic blocks are distributed on the inner wall of the first mounting hole 12 along the axial direction of the first mounting hole 12, and the cross-sectional shape of the elastic blocks is triangular. When the driving device drives the brush handle 21 and the brush head 22 to extend / retract in the first mounting hole 12, the side of the brush handle 21 extrudes the elastic blocks to make the elastic blocks deform when the brush handle 21 moves. The friction force between the side of the brush handle 21 and the elastic blocks is generated, and the limiting of the brush washing assembly is realized by the friction force between the side of the brush handle 21 and the elastic blocks when the brush washing assembly stops moving.

[0045] In another possible implementation, the driving device can also drive the brush washing assembly by using a linear motor. Specifically, the output shaft of the linear motor is connected with the second end of the brush handle 21, and the brush washing assembly is driven to extend / retract in the first mounting hole 12 along the axial direction thereof. It should be noted that the brush handle 21 can not be in sliding connection with the inner wall of the first mounting hole 12, but directly extend / retract in the first mounting hole 12. In different washing modes of the drum washing machine, the linear motor can be controlled to drive the brush washing assembly to extend from the first mounting hole 12 to the drum 1 by a corresponding length to participate in lifting the clothes and washing.

[0046] As shown in Figure 6 The control method mainly includes the following steps:

[0047] S100: acquiring a current washing mode of the clothes treatment equipment;

[0048] S200: determining a length of the brush washing assembly extending from the first mounting hole according to the current washing mode of the clothes treatment equipment;

[0049] S300: controlling the brush washing assembly to extend by a corresponding length from the first mounting hole according to the determined result.

[0050] The above setting mode has the advantages that by acquiring the current washing mode of the clothes treatment device, the length of the brush assembly extending out of the first mounting hole is determined, so that the clothes treatment device can start different programs to treat clothes according to different modes, and the clothes are more intelligent and can be washed according to different materials or quantities.

[0051] Specifically, the control method of the present application is described in detail with reference to Figures 3 to 5 and Figure 7 . As shown in Figure 7 , in an embodiment of the present application, the drum washing machine is preset with three washing modes, i.e., a soft washing mode, a standard washing mode and a strong washing mode, and the memory of the drum washing machine is provided with a mapping relationship between the extension length of the brush head 22 and the washing mode, such as one-third length, two-thirds length and the entire length corresponding to the soft washing mode, the standard washing mode and the strong washing mode respectively. The control method of the drum washing machine specifically includes the following steps:

[0052] S100: acquiring the current washing mode of the drum washing machine;

[0053] For example, the user inputs the instruction of selecting the washing mode on the control panel according to the dirtiness and quantity of the clothes, and the controller acquires the current washing mode of the drum washing machine according to the input instruction of the user.

[0054] S110: the current washing mode is the soft washing mode, and the one-third length of the brush head extending out of the first mounting hole is determined;

[0055] The controller determines the one-third length of the brush head 22 extending out of the first mounting hole 12 from the mapping relationship between the extension length of the brush head and the washing mode stored in the memory according to the current soft washing mode.

[0056] S111: making the brush head extend out of the first mounting hole by one-third length;

[0057] For example, the controller controls the electromagnet 32 to be powered on for 5 seconds and then powered off, so that the brush head 22 extends out of the first mounting hole 12 by one-third length.

[0058] S120: the current washing mode is the standard washing mode, and the two-thirds length of the brush head extending out of the first mounting hole is determined;

[0059] The controller determines the two-thirds length of the brush head 22 extending out of the first mounting hole 12 from the mapping relationship between the extension length of the brush head and the washing mode stored in the memory according to the current soft washing mode.

[0060] S121: making the brush head extend out of the first mounting hole by two-thirds length;

[0061] For example, the controller controls the electromagnet 32 to be powered on for 10 seconds and then powered off, so that the brush head 22 extends out of the first mounting hole 12 by two-thirds of the length.

[0062] S130: When the current washing mode is the strong washing mode, it is determined that the brush head extends out of the first mounting hole by the entire length;

[0063] S131: The brush head is made to extend out of the first mounting hole by the entire length;

[0064] For example, the controller controls the electromagnet 32 to be powered on for 15 seconds and then powered off, so that the brush head 22 extends out of the first mounting hole 12 by the entire length.

[0065] Through such a setting, less dirty clothes or a small amount of clothes can be selected in the soft washing mode, the brush head 22 extends out of the first mounting hole 12 by one-third of the length, and the clothes can be effectively lifted and effectively washed. The clothes can be selected in the standard washing mode when the clothes are relatively dirty or the amount of clothes is moderate, the brush head 22 extends out of the first mounting hole 12 by two-thirds of the length, the clothes are lifted and the decontamination ability is enhanced. When the clothes are seriously dirty or there are a large amount of clothes, the strong washing mode can be selected, the brush head 22 extends out of the first mounting hole 12 by the entire length, and the clothes can be deeply cleaned.

[0066] It should be noted that the washing mode can also be determined automatically by the drum washing machine. For example, after the clothes are put into the drum washing machine, the controller of the drum washing machine obtains the weight and material of the clothes to be washed through the weighing device and the material identification module of the washing machine, and automatically determines the current washing mode according to the weight and material of the clothes to be washed, so as to determine the current washing mode. In addition, the length of the brush head 22 extending out of the first mounting hole 12 in the above embodiment is only an exemplary setting mode, which does not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present application. In actual application, the length of the brush head 22 extending out of the first mounting hole 12 can be flexibly adjusted. For example, in the soft washing mode of the drum washing machine, the brush head 22 can be set to extend out of the first mounting hole 12 by one-fourth of the length; in the standard washing mode of the drum washing machine, the brush head 22 can be set to extend out of the first mounting hole 12 by three-fourths of the length; and in the strong washing mode, the brush head 22 can also be set to extend out of the first mounting hole 12 by four-fifths of the length. In addition, in another possible implementation, a calculation formula for determining the length of the brush head 22 extending out can also be stored in the memory of the drum washing machine, and the length of the brush head 22 extending out is determined according to the detected weight of the clothes to be washed and the calculation formula. For example, the calculation formula for determining the length of the brush head 22 extending out is l = mL / M, where l is the length of the brush head 22 extending out, m is the weight of the clothes to be washed, L is the total length of the brush head 22, and M is the rated clothes washing weight of the drum washing machine.

[0067] In another possible implementation, referring to Figure 8The control method of the present application can comprise the following steps:

[0068] S100: obtaining the current washing mode of the drum washing machine;

[0069] S110: when the current washing mode is the soft washing mode, determining that the brush head is extended / retracted from the first mounting hole in a period of 15s, and the maximum length of the extension of the brush head is one-third of the length;

[0070] S111: extending / retracting the brush head from the first mounting hole in a period of 15s;

[0071] S120: when the current washing mode is the standard washing mode, determining that the brush head is extended / retracted from the first mounting hole in a period of 10s, and the maximum length of the extension of the brush head is two-thirds of the length;

[0072] S121: extending / retracting the brush head from the first mounting hole in a period of 10s;

[0073] S130: when the current washing mode is the strong washing mode, determining that the brush head is extended / retracted from the first mounting hole in a period of 5s, and the maximum length of the extension of the brush head is the whole length;

[0074] S131: extending / retracting the brush head from the first mounting hole in a period of 5s.

[0075] In the above embodiment, by adjusting the time used for the extension and retraction of the brush head 22 from the first mounting hole 12, the washing strength of the drum washing machine in different modes is different. In the soft washing mode, the extension and retraction speed of the brush head 22 is slower, which can clean the clothes while avoiding damage to the clothes. In the standard washing mode, the extension and retraction speed of the brush head 22 is normal, which can improve the washing effect. In the strong washing mode, the extension and retraction speed of the brush head 22 is faster, which can efficiently clean the clothes with more dirt and more clothes. Through such a setting, the washing effect is further optimized.

[0076] So far, the technical solutions of the present application have been described in combination with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but those skilled in the art can easily understand that the protection scope of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or replacements to the related technical features without departing from the principles of the present application, and the technical solutions after such changes or replacements will all fall within the protection scope of the present application.
