Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of smart home technology, specifically providing a smart laundry system and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] Washing machines are frequently used home appliances. With the popularization of smart home living concepts, collecting and analyzing the operating data of washing machines is an indispensable part of realizing smart living. Typically, the washing machines in users' homes are smart washing machines with data transmission capabilities. These smart washing machines can collect and transmit relevant data as needed, allowing smart home systems to optimize washing processes based on this data. However, because the level of intelligence of home appliances varies from household to household, many users, even those with smart home control needs and some smart appliances, may not have a smart washing machine. This makes it difficult to collect and transmit washing data, forcing users to replace their still-functioning ordinary washing machines with smart washing machines.

[0003] Furthermore, with the promotion and widespread application of smart living, most users' washing machines can now be connected to a unified network for settings. This allows manufacturers to analyze washing data from each user's washing machine using a big data platform, determining the frequency of washing in daily life. This enables them to make technological improvements to the washing machines based on the actual washing needs of multiple users, or to add fun to users' daily laundry routine through reward points. However, the washing data received by the big data platform involves a large number of washing parameters for each wash cycle, making data processing quite challenging.

[0004] Accordingly, there is a need in the field for a new intelligent laundry system to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, namely, the problems that non-smart washing machines cannot transmit data via the Internet, are difficult to connect to smart homes, and have a large amount of washing data to be processed and difficult to analyze on big data platforms.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an intelligent laundry system, comprising a laundry device, an intelligent socket connected to the laundry device, and a control terminal. The laundry device includes a washing drum and a heating device capable of heating washing water for cleaning the washing drum. The intelligent socket includes a control module, a data acquisition module, and a communication module. The control module is connected to the data acquisition module and the communication module respectively. The control module can activate the data acquisition module when the heating device is running. The data acquisition module can collect the power parameters of the heating device and the running time corresponding to each power parameter. The communication module is communicatively connected to the control terminal so that the control module can send all the collected power parameters and the running time corresponding to each power parameter to the control terminal through the communication module. The control terminal can calculate the number of drum cleaning cycles of the washing drum based on all the received power parameters and the running time corresponding to each power parameter.

[0007] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned intelligent washing system, the washing equipment includes a control board, which is capable of acquiring the start and stop times of the heating device based on various power parameters. The data acquisition module is connected to the control board so that it can acquire the start and stop times corresponding to each power parameter through the control board.

[0008] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned intelligent washing system, the control module is connected to the heating device, and the control module is able to obtain the stage running time of the heating device based on each power parameter. The data acquisition module is able to obtain the stage running time corresponding to each power parameter through the control module.

[0009] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned intelligent washing system, the data acquisition module includes a power sensor, which is capable of acquiring the power parameters of the heating device at each operating stage.

[0010] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned intelligent laundry system, the control terminal is a cloud server.

[0011] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned intelligent laundry system, the communication module is any one of a WIFI communication module, a Bluetooth communication module, or a 4G / 5G communication module.

[0012] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a control method for the above-mentioned intelligent washing system, the control method comprising: during the operation of the washing equipment, collecting the power parameters of the heating device and the running time corresponding to each power parameter; sending all collected power parameters and the running time corresponding to each power parameter to a control terminal; the control terminal calculating the number of drum cleaning cycles of the washing drum based on all received power parameters and the running time corresponding to each power parameter.

[0013] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "the control terminal calculating the number of drum cleaning cycles of the washing equipment based on all received power parameters and the running time of each power parameter" specifically includes: calculating the heating amount corresponding to each power parameter based on all received power parameters and the running time of each power parameter; calculating the washing water heating temperature corresponding to each power parameter based on the calculated heating amount corresponding to each power parameter; comparing the calculated washing water heating temperature with the set temperature, and recording the number of times the washing water heating temperature is equal to the set temperature as the number of drum cleaning cycles.

[0014] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "the control terminal calculating the number of drum cleaning cycles of the washing equipment based on all received power parameters and the running time of each power parameter" specifically includes: screening power parameters that are equal to the set power from all received power parameters; when a power parameter equal to the set power is found, determining the continuous running time corresponding to each running stage of the washing equipment based on the running time of all screened power parameters, comparing the calculated continuous running time corresponding to each running stage with the set time, and recording the number of times the continuous running time is equal to the set time as the number of drum cleaning cycles, wherein the set time is the time required for the heating device to heat the washing water to the drum cleaning water temperature after running based on the set time and the set power.

[0015] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, after the step of "the control terminal calculates the number of drum cleaning times of the washing equipment based on all received power parameters and the running time of each power parameter", the control method further includes: generating and issuing washing frequency information of the washing equipment based on the number of drum cleaning times.

[0016] With the above technical solution adopted, the intelligent washing system of the present invention can communicate with the control terminal through a smart socket. Even if the intelligent module of the washing equipment malfunctions or the washing equipment is not intelligent, it can still provide operating data to the control terminal through the smart socket after being connected to it. Furthermore, the smart socket can acquire and transmit the power parameters of the heating device and the corresponding operating time of each power parameter, so that the control terminal can determine the output energy of the heating device in each operating stage based solely on the received parameters, thereby determining the heating water temperature each time the washing water is heated, and determining how many times the washing drum has been cleaned based on the water temperature reached each time. This allows the control terminal to determine the usage frequency and workload of the washing equipment based solely on the number of drum cleanings, without the need to process and analyze a large number of washing program parameters, significantly reducing the difficulty of data analysis and processing. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the system structure of the intelligent laundry system of the present invention;

[0019] Figure 2 This is a power variation curve of the heating device of the laundry equipment of the present invention when heating the washing water used to clean the washing drum;

[0020] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of the control method of the intelligent laundry system of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0021] Based on the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the inability of non-intelligent washing machines to transmit data via the Internet, difficulty in integrating with smart homes, and the large volume and high difficulty of analyzing laundry data on big data platforms, this invention provides an intelligent washing system and its control method. The system aims to establish a data transmission channel between the washing equipment and the control terminal through a smart socket. The power parameters and running time of the washing equipment are acquired and transmitted through the smart socket connected to the washing equipment, so that the control terminal can determine the number of drum cleaning cycles, washing frequency, and working intensity of the washing equipment based on the received parameters.

[0022] like Figure 1-2As shown, the intelligent laundry system of the present invention includes a laundry device, an intelligent socket connected to the laundry device, and a control terminal. The laundry device is connected to a power source via the intelligent socket. The laundry device includes a washing drum capable of holding washing water and clothes to be washed, and a heating device capable of heating the washing water. When the laundry device performs any program that requires heating the washing water, such as a drum cleaning program, a regular washing program, or a high-temperature sterilization program, the heating device can heat the washing water to a temperature suitable for the current program. For example, when the laundry device performs a drum cleaning program, the heating device first heats the washing water used to rinse the drum to a higher temperature, and then the heated washing water is used to rinse the drum, so as to remove dirt attached to the drum and kill bacteria growing on the drum through high-temperature rinsing. The intelligent socket includes a control module, a data acquisition module, and a communication module. The control module is connected to the data acquisition module and the communication module respectively, and the control module can activate the data acquisition module when the heating device of the laundry device is running. After being activated, the data acquisition module collects the power parameters of the heating device when heating the washing water, as well as the running time of the heating device at each power parameter. It then sends all collected power parameters and their corresponding running times to the control module. The communication module is connected to the control terminal, allowing the control module to send all collected power parameters and their corresponding running times to the control terminal. The control terminal calculates the number of drum cleaning cycles based on the received power parameters and their corresponding running times. This allows the control terminal or other smart home modules connected to it to determine the operating frequency and intensity of the washing machine, clarifying its usage. This facilitates intelligent laundry management or laundry incentive programs based on the user's actual laundry habits. The washing machine can also be indirectly connected to the smart home system via a smart socket.

[0023] Through the above setup, the washing machine does not need to have its own smart module. It can connect to the smart home system simply by being plugged into a smart socket, enabling intelligent management of non-smart washing machines and those with malfunctioning smart modules. Furthermore, the smart socket can acquire and transmit the power parameters and operating time parameters of the washing machine's heating element. This allows the control terminal to determine the washing machine's workload and the user's actual washing frequency without frequently receiving and processing a large number of operating parameters (such as all operating parameters for each wash cycle and the start / stop times). Instead, it only needs to calculate the number of times the washing machine cleans its drum based on the parameters transmitted by the smart socket. This significantly reduces the amount of data processing and improves data processing efficiency.

[0024] In the above implementation, the power parameters of the heating device collected by the data acquisition module are all the power parameters that the heating device has operated during the startup process. Power parameters with the same power value but not in the same continuous operating segment are counted as two parameters and are not merged. For example, if the heating device operates at power A for time t1, then at power B for time t2, and then at power A for time t3, then all the power parameters of the heating device collected by the data acquisition module include A and its corresponding operating time t1, B and its corresponding operating time t2, and A and its corresponding operating time t3. However, if the heating device operates multiple times consecutively with the same power parameter A, and the time interval between adjacent operating stages is small and within a preset interval, then the total operating time of the consecutive operating stages can be used as the operating time corresponding to its power parameter. Figure 2 Taking the example power curve of the heating device during operation shown in the figure as an example, assuming the preset time is 30 seconds, then in Figure 2 In the power curve, the heating device mainly operated at a power of 1600W for three periods of time, and the interval between each adjacent end of the three periods of operation was less than 30s. Therefore, in the overall operation of the heating device as shown by the power curve, the data acquisition module collected all the power parameters of the heating device, including 1600W and the sum of the overall running time of the three periods corresponding to 1600W.

[0025] Furthermore, the actual parameter form of the running time corresponding to the power parameter acquired by the data acquisition module is not limited. This time parameter can be the duration for which the heating device operates at that power parameter (directly acquiring the running time corresponding to the power parameter), or it can be time information that can indirectly determine the duration for which the heating device operates at that power parameter (calculating the running time corresponding to the power parameter through other time parameters, or indirectly acquiring the running time corresponding to the power parameter). For example, in addition to directly acquiring the duration t1 for which the heating device operates at power A, the start time and end time for which the heating device operates at power A can also be acquired, so that any one of the data acquisition device, control module, or control terminal can calculate the running time corresponding to power A based on the start time and end time for which the heating device operates at power A during data transmission or processing (the duration obtained by subtracting the start time from the end time is the running time corresponding to the current power parameter).

[0026] In addition, the data acquisition module can directly acquire data or indirectly through other modules. For example, the data acquisition module includes a power sensor connected to the heating element of the washing machine, allowing the module to directly acquire all power parameters of the heating element during operation. Another example is the washing machine including a control board (such as a computer board), which acquires the start-up and stop times (start-up and stop times) of the heating element based on various power parameters. The data acquisition module is connected to this control board to obtain the start-up and stop times corresponding to each power parameter. After acquiring the start-up and stop times for each power parameter, the data acquisition module can either directly transmit these times, allowing the control module or control terminal to determine the running time for each power parameter, or process the start-up and stop times to determine the running time before sending them to the control module for subsequent data transmission. For example, the control module is connected to the heating device, and the control module can obtain the stage running time of the heating device based on each power parameter (i.e., the running time of the heating device based on each power parameter). The data acquisition module can obtain the stage running time corresponding to each power parameter (i.e., the running time corresponding to each power parameter) through the control module.

[0027] Furthermore, during actual data acquisition, the data acquisition module can collect data in real-time as the heating device operates, or it can collect data on the heating device's operating power and the corresponding operating time after each cycle of the washing machine. The key is that the data acquisition module can completely collect all power parameters and the corresponding operating time of each power level. When the control terminal calculates the number of drum cleaning cycles, the calculation period can be set according to actual data calculation needs. For example, when the calculation period is one month, the control terminal can calculate the number of drum cleaning cycles for a specific washing machine within a month and reset it to zero at the end of the month and the beginning of the next calculation period. Within a calculation period, the number of drum cleaning cycles for the same washing machine can be immediately added to the current total number of drum cleaning cycles after each calculation, or the total number of drum cleaning cycles can be calculated directly based on the data received each time at the end of the calculation period.

[0028] The preferred technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0029] In the first embodiment of the present invention, the control terminal is a cloud server, and the communication module is a WIFI communication module. After the washing equipment is connected to the smart socket and put into operation, the WIFI communication module of the smart socket can establish a communication connection with the cloud server. Furthermore, the data acquisition module of the smart socket can collect the power parameters and corresponding running time of the heating device each time it heats the washing water. Then, it sends the collected power parameters and the running time corresponding to each power parameter to the control module of the smart socket, so that the control module can upload the data to the cloud server via the WIFI communication channel. When the cloud server receives the power parameters and running time data, it can calculate the temperature to which the heating device will heat the washing water after running at a certain power parameter for a corresponding time, based on the received power parameters and the running time corresponding to each power parameter, using the following formula:

[0030]

[0031] Where t2 is the temperature (°C) of the washing water heated by the heating device; P is the power parameter (W) of the heating device; T is the running time (s) corresponding to the power parameter; c is the specific heat capacity (J / kg·°C) of the washing water, which is the specific heat capacity value of water; m is the mass (kg) of the washing water, which can be calculated based on the inlet water level when the washing water is heated; t1 is the initial temperature of the washing water, which can be the average temperature of the local tap water, and the average temperature of the local tap water can be collected based on big data or manually input.

[0032] In the above formula, the heating heat of the heating device can be determined based on the power parameter and the running time corresponding to the power parameter. This heating heat is used as the heat absorbed when the washing water is heated. By dividing this heat by the product of the specific heat capacity and mass parameter of the washing water, the temperature rise of the washing water can be calculated. Thus, after substituting the initial temperature of the washing water, the water temperature after the washing water is heated can be calculated.

[0033] After the cloud server calculates the washing water heating temperature corresponding to each power parameter and running time according to the above formula, it can determine the temperature value of the washing water heated by the heating device after each operation, so as to distinguish the washing water heating stage in the drum cleaning program from the washing program. Specifically, under normal circumstances, the washing water is heated to a relatively low level in the washing program, based on the principle of maximizing the cleaning effect of detergent components, such as heating the washing water to the range of 35℃ to 45℃ during the washing stage. In the drum cleaning program, high-temperature washing water is needed to rinse the drum wall to remove dirt and sterilize, and the washing water is heated to a higher temperature, such as the washing water used to clean the washing drum being heated to above 80℃. In this case, the calculated temperature of each heated washing water is compared with the set washing water temperature in the washing process and the washing water temperature in the drum cleaning process. When the calculated temperature of each heated washing water is approximately equal to the washing water temperature in the drum cleaning process, it is counted as one drum cleaning operation, and the drum cleaning count is incremented by one. Of course, if the water temperature in the remaining parts of the washing cycle differs significantly from the washing water temperature during drum cleaning, it can still be counted as one drum cleaning cycle as long as the heated washing water temperature is within the set temperature range. For example, if the washing water temperature during drum cleaning is 80℃, the set comparison range can be 70℃ to 90℃. As long as the calculated heated washing water temperature is within this temperature range, it can be counted as one drum cleaning cycle. Assuming the final calculated heated washing water temperatures are 45℃, 45℃, 80℃, 30℃, 45℃, and 85℃, then the temperature values ​​within the 70℃ to 90℃ range include both 80℃ and 85℃. Based on the current parameters, the number of drum cleaning cycles calculated is 2.

[0034] In practical applications, the cloud server can receive data uploaded from the smart sockets of multiple washing machines and calculate and accumulate the number of drum cleaning times for all washing machines within a calculation cycle. This allows the cloud server to determine the usage frequency of each washing machine based on the number of drum cleaning times within that calculation cycle (the more times a washing machine is used, the dirtier the drum is, and the more times the drum is cleaned). This generates corresponding washing frequency information for each washing machine. This washing frequency information can include weekly / monthly / annual reports for users, allowing them to understand their daily laundry volume and frequency and plan and improve their personal laundry schedules. Alternatively, it can include user washing frequency data for equipment manufacturers, enabling them to optimize equipment parameters and settings based on actual usage. Furthermore, it can include laundry reward information or washing frequency ranking information corresponding to each user's washing frequency, encouraging users to actively engage in daily laundry and adding fun to using the washing machines.

[0035] In the second embodiment of the present invention, unlike the first embodiment, the number of times the cylinder is cleaned is determined in a different way. Specifically, during normal operation, the heating device typically adjusts its output power according to the temperature the washing water needs to reach. The higher the temperature the washing water is heated to, the greater the power output of the heating device, in order to ensure that washing water with different heating requirements can be heated quickly and to ensure program execution efficiency. Therefore, after the cloud service receives all power parameters and running time, it can first filter out power parameters that are approximately equal to the set power from all the received power parameters. For example, if the set operating power for heating the washing water used to clean the washing drum is 1600W, then the set power is 1600W. When filtering power parameters based on the set power, all parameters equal to or approximately equal to 1600W are filtered out. Then, the continuous running time corresponding to these filtered power parameters is determined. The specific method for determining the continuous running time is as follows: when it is determined that there are power parameters among the filtered power parameters that are continuously collected with the same or approximately the same power as the set power, the continuous running process corresponding to these power parameters is counted as the same running stage, and the overall running time corresponding to this running stage is the continuous running time. Specifically, a continuously completed operation process refers to a situation where, except for identical or nearly identical power parameters, the time interval between two consecutive operation processes is less than a set interval duration. This set interval duration can be set based on the regular interval time when the heating device heats the washing water each time, such as setting the set interval duration to 1 minute. If an operation phase corresponding to a power parameter is not continuous with other operation phases before or after it, and the interval time is greater than the set interval duration, then the continuous operation duration corresponding to that power parameter is its original operation time.

[0036] After calculating all continuous running times, they are compared with the set duration, and the number of times the continuous running time is close to or equal to the set duration is recorded as the drum cleaning number. The set duration is the time required for the heating device to heat the washing water to a temperature suitable for cleaning the washing drum after operating based on the set duration and set power. For example, if the continuous running times determined by the selected power parameters equal to or approximately equal to the set power are 300s, 180s, 90s, 60s, and 183s, and the set duration is 180s, then the washing water heating processes corresponding to 180s and 1083s are both washing water heating processes in the drum cleaning program, and the drum cleaning number calculated from the current data is 2.

[0037] Regarding the above implementation methods, it should be noted that the control terminal is not limited to a cloud server; it can be any module capable of data processing, such as data transmission, storage, and computational analysis. For example, the control terminal can also be any control hardware capable of meeting the data processing and communication requirements of this invention. Furthermore, the communication module of the smart socket is not limited to a WiFi module; it can also be any communication module capable of establishing a communication relationship with the control terminal, such as a Bluetooth communication module or a 4G / 5G communication module.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention also provides a control method for the above-mentioned intelligent washing system, the control method comprising the following steps:

[0039] Step S1: During the operation of the washing machine, the data acquisition module of the smart socket collects the power parameters of the heating device of the washing machine and the running time corresponding to each power parameter;

[0040] Step S2: The main control module sends all power parameters collected by the data acquisition module and the running time corresponding to each power parameter to the control terminal through the communication module;

[0041] Step S3: The control terminal calculates the number of times the washing drum of the washing machine is cleaned based on all the received power parameters and the running time corresponding to each power parameter.

[0042] Furthermore, step S3 specifically includes:

[0043] Based on all received power parameters and the running time of each power parameter, calculate the heating amount corresponding to each power parameter;

[0044] Based on the calculated heating capacity corresponding to each power parameter, calculate the corresponding washing water heating temperature for each power parameter;

[0045] The calculated washing water heating temperature is compared with the set temperature, and the number of times the washing water heating temperature equals the set temperature is recorded as the number of drum cleaning cycles.

[0046] Alternatively, step S3 above may specifically include:

[0047] Filter the power parameters that match the set power from all received power parameters;

[0048] If a power parameter equal to the set power is found, the continuous running time of each running stage of the washing machine is determined based on the running time corresponding to all the selected power parameters.

[0049] The calculated continuous running time for each operating stage is compared with the set time, and the number of times the continuous running time equals the set time is recorded as the number of drum cleaning cycles.

[0050] The set duration is the time required for the heating device to heat the washing water to the drum cleaning water temperature after operating based on the set duration and set power.

[0051] Preferably, after step S3, the control method of the present invention further includes:

[0052] Based on the calculated number of drum cleaning cycles, the control terminal generates and sends out washing frequency information for the washing equipment.

[0053] The technical solution of the present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
