[0042] The present application mainly solves the problem that after the clothes are washed by the washing machine and the shaking operation is started, the user needs to wait until the shaking operation is completed or manually stop the shaking operation before the clothes can be dried.

[0043] In the first aspect, the present application provides a washing machine control method, as shown in Figure 1 The present application includes the following steps,

[0044] S1. Automatically starting the shaking operation after the washing is completed;

[0045] S2. Detecting whether a user appears in a preset area around the washing machine, and if the user appears, determining whether to stop the shaking operation based on the user information;

[0046] S3. Controlling the washing machine to perform corresponding operation according to the determination result.

[0047] Through the washing machine of the present application, the shaking operation can be intelligently started and stopped, reducing the user's manual operation trouble. At the same time, by stopping the shaking operation in time and reminding the user to take the clothes, the user's time and power can be saved, and the clothes can be prevented from having odor and wrinkles.

[0048] The inventive content of the present application will be described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0049] In the first embodiment of the washing machine control method of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the present application includes the following steps,

[0050] The step S1 is specifically to automatically start the shaking operation after the laundry is finished. Specifically, after the laundry is finished, the washing machine usually prompts the user that the laundry is finished through a buzzer or the like. At this time, the user will usually take the finished laundry out of the washing machine in time for drying. However, if the user is busy or fails to notice that the washing machine has finished the laundry, the finished laundry cannot be taken out of the washing machine in time for drying, which may cause the finished laundry to wrinkle and smell due to being placed in a humid and hot environment for a long time. Therefore, to solve the above problem, the automatic start of the shaking operation after the laundry is finished can avoid the finished laundry from being placed in a humid and hot environment for a long time. However, if the shaking operation is automatically started immediately after the laundry is finished, the user cannot take the laundry out in time for drying. Therefore, the state of the door of the washing machine can also be monitored automatically after the laundry is finished. If the door is not opened after a preset time T, the shaking operation is automatically started, where T≥0 seconds. The automatic start of the shaking operation can be based on the result of the manual setting of the user before the laundry, or the shaking operation can be automatically started by the control unit of the washing machine after a period of time without detecting the opening signal of the door of the washing machine after the laundry is finished.

[0051] The step S2 is specifically to detect whether a user appears in a preset area around the washing machine. If the user appears, it is determined whether to stop the shaking operation based on the user information. Specifically, after the shaking operation is automatically started by the washing machine, the user information in the preset area around the washing machine is collected by a user information collection device to determine whether a user appears in the preset area around the washing machine. Specifically, an image collection device such as a camera or an infrared sensor can be used to detect whether a user appears in the preset area around the washing machine. If the user does not appear, the shaking operation continues. If a user is detected to appear in the preset area around the washing machine, it is determined whether to stop the shaking operation based on the user information. Specifically, if a user is detected to appear in the preset area around the washing machine, the distance between the user and the door of the washing machine is further monitored by a distance sensor or an image recognition method. If the distance between the user and the door of the washing machine is gradually reduced, and the distance is less than a preset distance L1, the shaking operation of the washing machine is automatically paused to remind the user to take the laundry. Meanwhile, the distance between the user and the door of the washing machine is continuously monitored. If the distance between the user and the door of the washing machine is gradually increased, and the distance is greater than a second preset distance L2, the shaking operation of the washing machine is automatically restarted.

[0052] The step S3 is specifically that the washing machine performs corresponding operation according to the judgment result. Specifically, if it is monitored that the distance between the user and the washing machine cabin door gradually decreases, and when the distance is less than the preset distance L1, the washing machine suspends the shaking operation; at this time, the washing machine reminds the user that the laundry has been finished through a buzzer sound and / or voice, and the user can take the laundry to dry. If the user opens the washing machine cabin door after receiving the prompt information of the washing machine, and takes the washed laundry to dry in time, the washing machine automatically stops the shaking operation in suspension after detecting that the cabin door is opened. If the user fails to open the washing machine cabin door and process the washed laundry in time due to something or other reasons after receiving the prompt information of the washing machine that the laundry is finished, the washing machine continues to monitor the distance between the user and the washing machine cabin door, and if it is monitored that the distance between the user and the washing machine cabin door gradually increases, and when the distance is greater than a second preset distance L2, the washing machine re-starts the shaking operation in suspension.

[0053] It should be noted that the information collected in the above steps can be saved in the corresponding memory of the washing machine, or uploaded to the server through the Internet of Things module. The judgment and processing of the related information can be performed in the washing machine or in the related server. The processing result or instruction of the server after processing the related information is fed back to the washing machine through the Internet of Things module, and the washing machine performs corresponding operation according to the processing result or instruction of the server.

[0054] The present application can save the user's time and power, prevent the laundry from having odor and wrinkles, and reduce the user's manual operation by stopping the shaking operation in time and reminding the user to take the laundry according to the judgment of the distance between the user and the cabin door after washing.

[0055] Embodiment two of the washing machine control method of the present application is as shown in Figure 3

[0056] The difference between the present embodiment and the embodiment one as shown in Figure 2 is that after the washing is finished, the state of the washing machine cabin door is automatically monitored, and if the cabin door is not opened after a preset time T, the fresh air and shaking operation are automatically started, where T is greater than or equal to 0 seconds. Starting the fresh air and shaking operation at the same time after the washing is finished is more conducive to the processing of the washed laundry.

[0057] After the washing machine automatically starts the fresh air and shaking operation, an image acquisition device or an infrared sensor is used to detect whether a user appears in a preset area of the washing machine cabin door.

[0058] If it is detected that a user appears in the preset area of the washing machine cabin door, the distance between the user and the washing machine cabin door is further monitored.

[0059] ​If the distance between the user and the washing machine door is gradually reduced, and when the distance is less than the preset distance L1, the washing machine automatically pauses the shaking operation, but continues the fresh air operation.

[0060] If the user opens the washing machine door after receiving the washing end prompt information, and timely dries the washed clothes, the washing machine automatically stops the shaking operation in the pause state when detecting that the door is opened, and simultaneously stops the fresh air operation.

[0061] If the user fails to timely open the washing machine door and process the washed clothes due to business or other reasons after receiving the washing end prompt information, the washing machine continues to monitor the distance between the user and the washing machine door. If the distance between the user and the washing machine door is gradually increased, and when the distance is greater than the second preset distance L2, the washing machine re-starts the shaking operation in the pause state, and the fresh air operation also continues.

[0062] The remaining steps of the embodiment are the same as the corresponding processing process in Embodiment One of the application shown in Figure 2 and will not be described here.

[0063] Embodiment Three of the washing machine control method of the application is shown in Figure 4 ,

[0064] The difference between the embodiment and Embodiment Two shown in Figure 3 is that,

[0065] After the washing machine automatically starts the fresh air and shaking operations, an image acquisition device or an infrared sensor is used to detect whether a user appears in a preset area of the washing machine door.

[0066] If a user appears in the preset area of the washing machine door, user image information is further acquired, and it is determined whether to stop the shaking operation based on the image information. Specifically, the acquired user image information is sent to a corresponding server through an Internet of Things module. The server has user photos and / or parameter values of different age groups stored therein in advance. The parameter values of different age groups include all or part of information such as height range, body shape, body posture, facial expression, wrinkles, and skin of different age groups. At the same time, the server can also include a white list and a black list for distinguishing user use permissions. The server analyzes and identifies the received user image information, and compares and judges with the user permission information stored in the server. If it is determined based on the image information that the user belongs to an authorized user of the washing machine, the washing machine automatically pauses the shaking operation, but continues the fresh air operation. Otherwise, the shaking operation and the fresh air operation continue.

[0067] If the user opens the door of the washing machine after receiving the prompt information of the end of the washing, and timely dries the washed clothes, the washing machine stops the shaking operation and the fresh air operation when the door is opened.

[0068] If the user fails to open the door of the washing machine and process the washed clothes in time due to some reasons or other reasons after receiving the prompt information of the end of the washing, the washing machine continues the shaking operation and the fresh air operation.

[0069] The remaining steps of the embodiment are the same as the corresponding processing process of the second embodiment of the application shown in Figure 3 The remaining steps of the embodiment are the same as the corresponding processing process of the second embodiment of the application shown in

[0070] The fourth embodiment of the control method of the washing machine of the application is shown in Figure 5 The fourth embodiment of the control method of the washing machine of the application is shown in

[0071] The fourth embodiment of the control method of the washing machine of the application is shown in Figure 2 The difference between the embodiment and the first embodiment shown in The difference between the embodiment and the first embodiment shown in

[0072] The difference between the embodiment and the first embodiment shown in Figure 5It can be seen that the state of the washing machine door is automatically monitored after the end of the washing, and if the door is not opened after a preset time T, the shaking operation is automatically started, where T≥0 seconds. After the washing machine automatically starts the shaking operation, an image acquisition device or an infrared sensor is used to detect whether a user appears in a preset area of the washing machine door. If no user appears, the shaking operation continues. If a user is detected in the preset area of the washing machine door, the distance between the user and the washing machine door is further monitored. If it is monitored that the distance between the user and the washing machine door gradually decreases, and when the distance is less than a preset distance L1, the image information of the user is further acquired by a camera, and the acquired image information of the user is sent to a corresponding server through an Internet of Things module. The server has stored therein user photos and / or parameter values of different age groups in advance. The parameter values of different age groups include all or part of information such as height range, body shape, body posture, facial expression, wrinkles, and skin of different age groups. At the same time, the server can also include a white list and a black list for distinguishing user use permissions. The server analyzes and identifies the received image information of the user, and compares and judges the user permission information stored in the server.

[0073] If it is judged that the user is not an authorized user, the shaking operation of the washing machine is not stopped. The user who is not an authorized user includes an old person with difficulty in movement or a young child; the cloud server can also preset data according to family division of labor, and only grant use permission to a person with a laundry division of labor; in addition, for a family with a nanny, the use permission can be set to not be allocated to the owner, and only the nanny has the use permission.

[0074] If it is judged that the user is an authorized user, the shaking operation of the washing machine is stopped, and the user is reminded by a buzzer sound and / or voice that the washing is finished and the laundry can be taken and dried. If the user opens the door of the washing machine after receiving the prompt information of the washing machine, and timely dries the washed laundry, the shaking operation in the pause is automatically stopped by the washing machine after detecting that the door is opened. If the user does not open the door of the washing machine and process the washed laundry in time due to something or other reasons after receiving the prompt information of the washing machine that the washing is finished, the washing machine continues to monitor the distance between the user and the washing machine door, and if it is monitored that the distance between the user and the washing machine door gradually increases, and when the distance is greater than a second preset distance L2, the shaking operation in the pause is restarted by the washing machine.

[0075] The remaining steps of the embodiment are the same as the corresponding processing process in the first embodiment of the application shown in Figure 2 The remaining steps of the embodiment are the same as the corresponding processing process in the first embodiment of the application shown in
