Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of washing equipment, and in particular to a washing machine detergent dispensing method, apparatus, device and storage medium based on Lora technology. Background Technology

[0002] With social development, washing machines have become a common household appliance, reducing labor input and saving washing time when washing clothes, towels and other textiles.

[0003] When washing items in a washing machine, detergent is injected into the machine. Different types of detergent are required for different textiles to reduce the possibility of damage and to ensure better cleaning.

[0004] However, when using a washing machine, it is generally necessary to add the cleaning solution manually. The amount of solution used can only rely on past experience and cannot be standardized, which results in the items not being cleaned properly. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to better clean items to be washed, this application provides a washing machine detergent dispensing method, apparatus, equipment and storage medium based on Lora technology.

[0006] This application provides a washing machine detergent dispensing method based on LoRa technology, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A washing machine detergent dispensing method based on LoRa technology, comprising:

[0008] Data on items to be washed is obtained using the Lora module;

[0009] The data includes the color of the item to be washed;

[0010] The type of medicine solution is determined based on the color.

[0011] If the color is white, then the use of bleach-based detergents should be controlled.

[0012] If the color is not white, then the use of non-bleach detergents should be controlled.

[0013] After determining the type of medicine based on color, the water consumption is obtained based on the Lora module;

[0014] The corresponding dosage of medicine solution is obtained based on the water consumption.

[0015] The medicine is injected into the washing machine according to the specified dosage.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, data is wirelessly received via the LoRa module. The electronic device then acquires the color of the item to be washed and automatically determines the type of detergent based on the data. If the item is white, the electronic device controls the use of a bleaching detergent; if the item is not white, it controls the use of a non-bleaching detergent. The electronic device then acquires the water volume input by the user and automatically determines the corresponding detergent dosage, then dispenses the detergent into the washing machine. This automatic detergent selection and dosage control enables automated detergent dispensing and more standardized detergent usage, thus achieving a better cleaning effect on the items to be washed.

[0017] Optionally, before the control uses a bleach-based detergent, the following steps are included:

[0018] Control the timing and obtain the first timing time;

[0019] If the first timing time is less than or equal to the first time threshold, and the user's detergent modification instruction is obtained, then the detergent type is modified based on the detergent modification instruction;

[0020] If the first timing period is less than or equal to the first time threshold, and no detergent modification instruction is obtained from the user, then the step of controlling the use of bleach-type detergent is executed.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the electronic device has a time margin before using bleach-type detergents. That is, by comparing the first timing time with the first time threshold, the user can change the type of detergent. There are cases where the item to be washed is white but does not need to be bleached, so the user can make the change.

[0022] Optionally, before injecting the medicine into the washing machine based on the amount of medicine used, the following steps are included:

[0023] Determine whether the water consumption exceeds the water consumption threshold;

[0024] If so, calculate the difference between the water consumption and the water consumption threshold.

[0025] The corresponding increase in the amount of medicine solution is obtained based on the water volume difference;

[0026] After injecting the medicine into the washing machine based on the stated dosage, the process includes:

[0027] The medicine solution is injected into the washing machine in multiple batches based on the increase in the amount of medicine solution;

[0028] After each injection of the liquid medicine, an enhanced signal is sent to the washing machine to increase the rotation force of the washing machine and maintain it for a preset time.

[0029] By employing the above technical solution, before injecting the cleaning solution into the washing machine, the electronic device determines whether the water consumption exceeds a water volume threshold. If so, the electronic device calculates the difference between the water consumption and the threshold, and then determines the corresponding increase in cleaning solution based on this difference—that is, if the water consumption is high, an additional amount of cleaning solution is used. After injecting the cleaning solution into the washing machine, the electronic device controls the additional cleaning solution to be injected into the washing machine in multiple stages, and after each injection, it sends an enhanced signal to the washing machine, thereby increasing the washing machine's rotation intensity and thoroughly agitating the contents. This ensures that the increased cleaning solution is fully utilized, resulting in better cleaning of the items to be washed.

[0030] Optionally, controlling the injection of the medicine into the washing machine in multiple stages based on the increase in the amount of medicine includes:

[0031] The corresponding number of injections is determined based on the increase in the amount of medication.

[0032] Determine whether the number of injections exceeds the injection count threshold;

[0033] If so, an enhanced signal is sent to the washing machine after every two injections of the medicine.

[0034] If not, then perform the step of sending an enhanced signal to the washing machine after each injection of the pharmaceutical.

[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, the electronic device obtains the corresponding number of injections based on the increase in the amount of medicine, and determines whether the number of injections exceeds the injection number threshold. If so, i.e., the number of injections is too high, the electronic device sends an enhanced signal to the washing machine after every two injections. If not, i.e., the number of injections is too low, the electronic device sends an enhanced signal to the washing machine after each injection of medicine. This avoids the washing machine continuously operating at increased rotation speed due to a high number of injections when the washing time is short.

[0036] Optionally, before controlling the injection of the medicine solution into the washing machine in multiple stages based on the increase in the amount of medicine solution, the following steps are included:

[0037] Get the washing machine wash time;

[0038] Determine whether the cleaning time is less than the second time threshold;

[0039] If so, reduce the amount of the added medicine and add it all to the washing machine when the washing machine starts washing.

[0040] By adopting the above technical solution, before the liquid is injected into the washing machine in multiple batches, the electronic device obtains the washing time of the washing machine and determines whether the washing time is less than the second time threshold. If so, it is determined that the washing time is short and the water volume is large, which can make the items to be washed relatively clean. Therefore, the amount of liquid added is reduced at this time, and all of it is injected into the washing machine when the washing machine starts washing.

[0041] Optionally, after the washing machine has finished rinsing, the first turbidity of the drain water is obtained;

[0042] Determine whether the first turbidity is greater than the first turbidity threshold;

[0043] If so, calculate the turbidity difference between the first turbidity and the first turbidity threshold, and obtain the corresponding drug replenishment amount based on the turbidity difference;

[0044] Based on the stated amount of medicine to be added, the medicine is injected into the washing machine, and a cleaning command is sent to the washing machine.

[0045] By adopting the above technical solution, after the washing machine has finished rinsing, the electronic device obtains the first turbidity and determines whether the first turbidity is greater than the first turbidity threshold. If it is greater, the electronic device calculates the difference between the two and obtains the corresponding amount of detergent to be added based on the turbidity difference. Then, the detergent is added to the washing machine according to the amount of detergent to be added, so as to wash the items to be washed again, thereby making the items to be washed cleaner.

[0046] Optionally, before injecting the medicine into the washing machine based on the medicine replenishment amount, the following steps are included:

[0047] Send a second rinse command to the washing machine;

[0048] After the washing machine has finished rinsing, the second turbidity of the discharged water is obtained;

[0049] Determine whether the second turbidity is less than the second turbidity threshold;

[0050] If so, then the steps of injecting the medicine into the washing machine based on the amount of medicine to be replenished, and sending a cleaning command to the washing machine are performed.

[0051] By adopting the above technical solution, before adding the washing solution, the electronic device sends a second rinse command to the washing machine, causing the washing machine to rinse again. It then obtains the second turbidity of the drained water after the second rinse and determines whether the second turbidity is less than a second turbidity threshold. If so, the electronic device injects additional washing solution into the washing machine and controls it to wash again. Under normal circumstances, the second turbidity of the drained water after the second rinse should also be greater than the second turbidity threshold. If the second turbidity is less than the second turbidity threshold, it indicates that the items to be washed are not yet clean, so the second turbidity of the drained water is low during the second rinse.

[0052] Secondly, the washing machine medicine dispensing control device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0053] The first acquisition module is used to acquire data of the items to be washed based on the Lora module; the data includes the color of the items to be washed.

[0054] The judgment module is used to determine the type of medicine based on the color; if the color is white, it controls the use of bleaching detergent; if the color is not white, it controls the use of non-bleaching detergent.

[0055] The second acquisition module is used to acquire the water consumption based on the Lora module after the color-based determination of the liquid type.

[0056] The third acquisition module is used to acquire the corresponding dosage of medicine based on the water consumption;

[0057] An injection module is used to inject the medicine into the washing machine based on the amount of medicine required.

[0058] Thirdly, the electronic device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0060] Fourthly, the computer-readable storage medium provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0063] Figure 2This is a block diagram illustrating a washing machine medicine dispensing control device according to an embodiment of this application.

[0064] Figure 3 This is a block diagram illustrating an electronic device according to an embodiment of this application. Implementation

[0065] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0066] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of this application and is not intended to limit it. Users skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step after reading this specification, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of this application.

[0067] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by users of ordinary skills in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0068] Furthermore, the term "and / or" in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article, unless otherwise specified, generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0069] This application discloses a washing machine detergent dispensing method based on LoRa technology. The LoRa-based washing machine detergent dispensing method can be executed by an electronic device, and the electronic device receives and transmits signals based on a LoRa module, i.e., it performs wireless communication.

[0070] Washing machines consist of three stages: washing, rinsing, and spin-drying.

[0071] This application discloses a washing machine detergent dispensing method based on LoRa technology. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The main process of a washing machine chemical dispensing method based on LoRa technology is described as follows (S100~S700):

[0072] Step S100: Obtain data of the items to be washed based on the Lora module; the data includes the color of the items to be washed.

[0073] Step S200: Determine the type of medicine based on color; if the color is white, proceed to step S300; if the color is not white, proceed to step S400.

[0074] Step S300: Control the use of bleach-based detergents;

[0075] Step S400: Control the use of non-bleach detergents;

[0076] Step S500: After determining the type of medicine based on color, obtain the water consumption based on the Lora module;

[0077] Step S600: Obtain the corresponding dosage of medicine based on water consumption;

[0078] Step S700: Inject the medicine into the washing machine based on the dosage and send a control signal to the washing machine to make it work.

[0079] The electronic device communicates with the washing machine via a LoRa module. An image recognition module is installed in the washing machine to identify the color of the items placed inside and transmits the identified color to the electronic device. The LoRa module enables wireless data transmission.

[0080] After receiving color data, the electronic device determines the type of detergent to be used based on the color. If the color is white, the device controls the use of a bleach-based detergent; otherwise, it controls the use of a non-bleach-based detergent. Following this color-based detergent determination, the device obtains the water usage via the LoRa module. This water usage is input by the user through buttons on the washing machine, and the electronic device also receives this input. Based on the water usage, the device then determines the corresponding detergent dosage and controls the injection of that dosage into the washing machine.

[0081] As an optional implementation of this application, before controlling the use of bleach-type detergent, the method includes: controlling the timing and obtaining a first timing time; if the first timing time is less than or equal to a first time threshold and a user's detergent modification instruction is obtained, then modifying the detergent type based on the detergent modification instruction; if the first timing time is less than or equal to the first time threshold and no user's detergent modification instruction is obtained, then executing the step of controlling the use of bleach-type detergent.

[0082] Before controlling the use of bleach-based detergents, the electronic device starts a timer and obtains an initial timeout. This initial timeout is then compared in real-time with a first time threshold. If the initial timeout is less than or equal to the first time threshold, and a user-input detergent modification command is received, the electronic device modifies the detergent type based on the user's input. In other words, after determining the detergent type, the device does not immediately inject the detergent into the washing machine; instead, it waits within the preset first time threshold before accepting user-modified detergent types.

[0083] As an optional implementation of this application, before injecting the medicine into the washing machine based on the dosage, the method includes: determining whether the water consumption is greater than a water volume threshold; if so, calculating the water volume difference between the water consumption and the water volume threshold; obtaining the corresponding increase in medicine volume based on the water volume difference; after injecting the medicine into the washing machine based on the dosage, the method includes: controlling the medicine to be injected in multiple times based on the increase in medicine volume; after each injection of medicine, sending an enhancement signal to the washing machine to increase the rotation intensity of the washing machine and maintain it for a preset time.

[0084] Before adding the washing machine's cleaning solution based on the dosage, the electronic device determines whether the water consumption exceeds a water volume threshold. This threshold is a user-preset value and is less than or equal to the washing machine's maximum water capacity. If the water consumption exceeds the threshold, the electronic device calculates the difference between the water consumption and the threshold, and then determines the corresponding increase in cleaning solution based on this difference. In other words, when the water consumption exceeds the threshold, an additional amount of cleaning solution needs to be added, and the larger the water volume difference, the greater the increase in cleaning solution. The correspondence between the water volume difference and the increase in cleaning solution is a preset setting and can be obtained through actual usage data or other methods, which will not be elaborated here.

[0085] After the detergent solution is injected into the washing machine based on the prescribed dosage, the electronic system controls the solution to be injected in multiple stages, meaning the added detergent is injected into the washing machine in several batches. After each injection, the electronic system sends a boost signal to the washing machine, increasing its rotation speed and maintaining this increased speed for a preset time. Increasing the rotation speed after adding more detergent allows for more thorough agitation of the detergent and the items to be washed, resulting in better cleaning.

[0086] Specifically, the method of controlling the injection of medicine in multiple stages based on the increase in the amount of medicine includes: obtaining the corresponding number of injections based on the increase in the amount of medicine; determining whether the number of injections is greater than the injection number threshold; if so, sending an enhanced signal to the washing machine after every two injections; if not, executing the step of sending an enhanced signal to the washing machine after each injection of medicine.

[0087] The washing machine is injected with the medicine in multiple stages based on the increase in the amount of medicine added. The electronic device obtains the corresponding number of injections based on the increase in the amount of medicine added; the number of injections varies depending on the range of the increase in the amount of medicine added. It checks whether the number of injections exceeds a threshold. If the number of injections exceeds the threshold, the electronic device controls the washing machine to increase its rotation intensity once after every two injections of medicine. If the number of injections is less than the threshold, the electronic device controls the washing machine to increase its rotation intensity once after each injection of medicine.

[0088] When using a washing machine, users set the total washing time. If the number of injections is too high, the washing machine will continuously increase its spinning intensity, which may damage the washing machine and increase energy consumption. Therefore, when the number of injections exceeds the injection threshold, the electronic device reduces the number of times it sends enhanced signals to the washing machine.

[0089] As an optional implementation of this application, before controlling the injection of the medicine into the washing machine in multiple batches based on the increase in the amount of medicine, the method includes: obtaining the washing machine washing time; determining whether the washing time is less than a second time threshold; if so, reducing the increase in the amount of medicine, and injecting all of it into the washing machine when the washing machine starts washing.

[0090] Before injecting the medicine into the washing machine in multiple batches based on the increase in the amount of medicine, the washing time of the washing machine is obtained, and it is determined whether the washing time is less than the second time threshold. If the washing time is less than the second time threshold, the increase in the amount of medicine is reduced, and all the medicine is injected into the washing machine at once when the washing machine starts washing.

[0091] At this point, although the washing machine uses a large amount of water, the washing time is less than the second time threshold, meaning the washing time is short. The electronic equipment determines that the items to be washed are relatively clean, so it reduces the amount of detergent added and injects it into the washing machine all at once because the washing time is short.

[0092] As an optional implementation of this application, after the washing machine has finished washing, the first turbidity of the water discharged after rinsing is obtained; it is determined whether the first turbidity is greater than the first turbidity threshold; if so, the turbidity difference between the first turbidity and the first turbidity threshold is calculated, and the corresponding amount of medicine to be replenished is obtained based on the turbidity difference; medicine is injected into the washing machine based on the amount of medicine to be replenished, and a cleaning command is sent to the washing machine.

[0093] After the washing machine finishes rinsing, it drains the water. At this time, the first turbidity of the drained water is obtained. The electronic device determines whether the first turbidity is greater than the first turbidity threshold. If the first turbidity is greater than the first turbidity threshold, the electronic device calculates the turbidity difference between the first turbidity and the first turbidity threshold, obtains the corresponding amount of detergent to replenish based on the turbidity difference, injects detergent into the washing machine according to the amount of detergent to replenish, and sends a cleaning command to the washing machine so that the washing machine can clean again to better clean the items to be washed.

[0094] After the washing machine finishes rinsing, if the turbidity of the drained water is greater than the first turbidity threshold, it means that the items to be washed are still quite dirty. Therefore, the electronic system will refill the detergent solution and send a washing command to the washing machine to clean the items again for better cleaning.

[0095] As an optional implementation of this application, before injecting the medicine into the washing machine based on the medicine replenishment amount, the method includes: sending a rinse command to the washing machine; after the washing machine has finished rinsing, obtaining the second turbidity of the drained water; determining whether the second turbidity is less than a second turbidity threshold; if so, then performing the steps of injecting the medicine into the washing machine based on the medicine replenishment amount and sending a cleaning command to the washing machine.

[0096] Before adding detergent to the washing machine based on the recommended detergent dosage, the electronic system controls the washing machine to perform a second rinse. After rinsing, the electronic system obtains the second turbidity of the drained water and determines whether the second turbidity is less than a second turbidity threshold. If so, the electronic system adds detergent to the washing machine based on the recommended dosage and sends a cleaning command to the washing machine. Because the second turbidity is less than the second turbidity threshold after the second rinse, it means that the dirt on the items to be washed was not rinsed off after the second rinse. Therefore, detergent needs to be added to clean the items again to make them cleaner.
