[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a power control method of a washing machine and a computer readable storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] Many large cities or industrial cities are short of power supply due to tight power supply. In the power supply peak period, the power supply department will transfer part of the load in the power supply peak period to the power supply valley period through administrative, technical, economic and other means to ensure the normal power supply of some functional departments, so as to reduce the peak-valley load difference of the power grid, optimize resource allocation, and improve the safety and economy of the power grid.

[0003] However, the operation mode of the existing washing machine is started immediately according to the user's selection of the operation mode. In fact, the washing machine has multiple operation modes, and different operation modes of the washing machine have different power consumptions. However, the current washing machine design does not consider reducing the load response of the power grid in response to the national staggered power supply call, nor does it consider the existing pricing method of the power grid for residents' tiered electricity prices. The environmental protection of the power supply mode still needs to be improved. SUMMARY

[0041] Embodiment 1

[0042] A power control method of a washing machine, Figure 1 as shown, comprising the steps of,

[0043] acquire the local peak-valley electricity time standard, judge whether it is in the electricity peak period, if yes, execute the electricity peak period power saving mode; if no, execute the non-electricity peak period power saving mode;

[0044] The operation mode of the electricity peak period power saving mode comprises: Figure 2 As shown, acquire the user electricity charging level, if the electricity charging level is N level, the power saving mode is N level;

[0045] The operation mode of the non-electricity peak period power saving mode comprises: Figure 3 As shown, acquire the user electricity charging level, if the electricity charging level is N level, the power saving mode is M level, N

[0046] The power saving mode level number is negatively correlated with the saved electricity amount.

[0047] The above washing machine electricity control method makes the washing machine have different power saving modes for electricity peak-valley periods, wherein the electricity peak period and the non-electricity peak period power saving modes are different, and the power saving mode is selected again according to the user electricity charging level, so that the corresponding power saving amount in the electricity peak period is greater than that in the non-electricity peak period, guiding the user to stagger electricity use, orderly use electricity, ensuring the balanced operation of power supply and demand, and reducing the electricity cost for the user, realizing environmental protection electricity use.

[0048] In the electricity peak period power saving mode, if the electricity charging level is the first level, the power saving mode is the first level power saving mode; if the electricity charging level is the second level, the power saving mode is the second level power saving mode; if the electricity charging level is the third level, the power saving mode is the third level power saving mode.

[0049] From the above electricity charging level and power saving mode level, it can be seen that in the electricity peak period, the electricity charging level and the power saving mode level correspond one by one, ensuring the maximum power saving amount during the electricity peak period.

[0050] In the non-electricity peak period power saving mode, if the electricity charging level is the first level, the power saving mode is the second level power saving mode; if the electricity charging level is the second level, the power saving mode is the third level power saving mode; if the electricity charging level is the third level, the normal mode is executed.

[0051] From the above electricity charging level and power saving mode level, it can be seen that in the non-electricity peak period, the electricity charging level corresponds to the power saving mode level corresponding to the next charging level, so that the power saving amount can be relatively reduced in the non-electricity peak period, which can achieve the power saving effect on one hand, and also maximize the working effect of the washing machine on the other hand.

[0052] In the embodiment, a controller is adopted, which acquires local peak-valley electricity time standard through a network. The network is wifi, which can adapt to peak-valley electricity time standard of different regions.

[0053] In the embodiment, the controller is connected with a user electricity meter, and the controller judges user electricity charging level through the user electricity meter.

[0054] In the embodiment, the power saving mode involves any one or more of the following programs: dehydration, washing, drying, steam care, drum cleaning, ironing. The washing machine refers to a device for processing clothes, which is not limited to a traditional washing machine, but also includes a clothes dryer, a washing-drying integrated machine, etc. Therefore, the power saving mode can be a plurality of programs. In actual application, it can also be other processing programs.

[0055] In the embodiment, the parameters of the dehydration program include any one of dehydration time and dehydration rotation speed;

[0056] The parameters of the washing program include any one or more of the following: washing liquid dosage, rinsing frequency, rinsing time, washing temperature, and dehydration distribution time;

[0057] The parameters of the drying program include any one or more of the following: drying time, drying temperature, drying power, and fan power;

[0058] The parameters of the steam care include any one or more of the following: steam amount and heating power;

[0059] The drum cleaning program is not started during the peak electricity period. Since the drum cleaning program consumes a lot of electricity, if it is the peak electricity period, it is recommended that the user perform the drum cleaning program during the valley electricity period.

[0060] The parameters of the ironing program include any one or more of the following: steam amount, ironing time, and ironing temperature.

[0061] The above parameters can be selected according to actual needs. The purpose of saving electricity is achieved by selecting the parameters.

[0062] The dehydration program and the washing program are the main working modes of the washing machine. The power saving is mainly performed in the dehydration program and the washing program, and the dehydration program and the washing program are changed, which has little effect on the clothes processing effect.

[0063] In the embodiment, in the normal mode, Figure 4 As shown, the parameters of the dehydration program are: dehydration time ts and dehydration rotation speed zs, and the parameters of the washing program are: washing liquid dosage tf, rinsing frequency px, rinsing time ps, washing temperature xw, and dehydration distribution time fs;

[0064] In the first level power saving mode, Figure 5 As shown, the parameters of the dehydration program are: dehydration time ts1, dehydration rotating speed zs1, and the parameters of the washing program are: washing liquid amount tf1, rinsing times px1, rinsing time ps1, washing temperature xw1, and dehydration distribution time fs1.

[0065] In the second level power saving mode, Figure 6 As shown, the parameters of the dehydration program are: dehydration time ts2, dehydration rotating speed zs2, and the parameters of the washing program are: washing liquid amount tf2, rinsing times px2, rinsing time ps2, washing temperature xw2, and dehydration distribution time fs2.

[0066] In the third level power saving mode, Figure 7 As shown, the parameters of the dehydration program are: dehydration time ts3, dehydration rotating speed zs3, and the parameters of the washing program are: washing liquid amount tf3, rinsing times px3, rinsing time ps3, washing temperature xw3, and dehydration distribution time fs3.

[0067] Wherein, ts1<ts2<ts3<ts, zs1<zs2<zs3<zs, tf1<tf2<tf3<tf, px1>px2>px3>px, ps1<ps2<ps3<ps, xw1<xw2<xw3<xw, fs1<fs2<fs3<fs.

[0068] From the above parameter settings, it can be seen that the first level power saving mode saves the most power, followed by the second level power saving mode, and finally the third level power saving mode.

[0069] In this embodiment, the display panel or display screen of the washing machine is provided with a power saving level selection button, which includes a first level power saving mode button, a second level power saving mode button, and a third level power saving mode button.

[0070] The user can directly select the level of the power saving mode according to actual needs.
