[0037] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the implementation method of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how the present invention applies technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0038] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] Washing machines currently on the market generally have a reservation function. Some users set a relatively long reservation time when using them, and may even schedule it from evening to daytime. The large time span may cause users to forget that they have to wash clothes, resulting in the clothes not being taken out to dry in time, or the user may miss the time to take out the clothes because they do not hear the buzzer reminder. This may cause the clothes to mold, produce odors, breed bacteria, and even cause damage to the clothes, resulting in a bad experience and property loss for the user. In addition, if the reminder is issued after the washing is completed, the user has already taken out the clothes immediately, but the washing machine does not detect the corresponding information and continues to remind them for a period of time as originally designed, making the reminder become noise, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0041] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention proposes a corresponding technical solution. After washing is completed, the buzzer is controlled to remind, and the user's location is detected at the same time. The reminder mode is determined based on whether the user is within a preset distance. The reminder is turned off only after the user is detected to prevent clothes from being forgotten and improve the user experience.

[0042] Based on the above ideas, an embodiment of the present invention provides a washing machine control method, such as Figure 1 As shown, the washing machine control method of this embodiment includes step S101, and the specific content of this step is described in detail below:

[0043] Step S101: When the preset washing program is finished, the user is reminded until the user is detected within a preset distance from the washing machine.

[0044] In this embodiment, the preset washing program refers to a plurality of washing programs that have been set in the washing machine system. The user can select a corresponding washing program according to actual needs to perform operations such as washing and dehydrating clothes.

[0045] In this embodiment, there are multiple ways to remind the user, such as voice, tone, text message, etc., and the reminder continues until the user is detected within a preset distance from the washing machine, at which point the reminder is turned off. The preset distance can be set to 1 meter. When the user is within 1 meter of the washing machine, it indicates that the user is in front of the washing machine and the relevant reminder can be turned off.

[0046] In this embodiment, the washing machine includes a buzzer. To more effectively remind the user that washing is complete and to promptly disable the reminder function to avoid noise disturbance to the user, the embodiment of the present invention provides a reminder to the user upon completion of a preset washing program until the user is detected within a preset distance from the washing machine. The method includes: controlling the buzzer to emit a reminder tone in a gradually increasing volume when the preset washing program is completed; wherein the volume of the reminder tone does not exceed a preset volume threshold; and controlling the buzzer to be disabled when the user is detected within the preset distance from the washing machine.

[0047] In order to further effectively remind the user and avoid causing noise trouble to the user, the embodiment described in this invention controls the buzzer to emit a prompt sound with a gradually increasing volume when the preset washing program is executed, including: when the preset washing program is executed, controlling the buzzer to cyclically execute the following S1 and S2 with a gradually increasing volume: S1: emit the prompt sound for n seconds; S2: turn off for m seconds; wherein n>0, m>0; when the volume of the prompt sound reaches the preset volume threshold, controlling the buzzer to cyclically execute S1 and S2 at the preset volume threshold.

[0048] That is, in this embodiment, the buzzer is controlled to continuously remind the user by sounding for n seconds and then off for m seconds, where n and m are both values ​​greater than 0. In actual applications, the user can set the values ​​of n and m according to actual needs. Furthermore, after each sounding for n seconds and then off for m seconds, the buzzer volume increases and continues to sound for n seconds and then off for m seconds until the volume of the buzzer reaches a preset threshold. When the volume of the buzzer reaches the preset threshold, the volume remains unchanged, and the buzzer is controlled to continue to sound for n seconds and then off for m seconds in a cycle. In this process, as long as the user is detected within the preset distance from the washing machine, the buzzer turns off to stop the reminder.

[0049] In order to further effectively remind the user, when the preset washing program is completed, the system will not only make the above-mentioned buzzer reminder, but also send a washing completion message to the user terminal, so that the user can know in time that the washing machine has completed the clothing washing operation.

[0050] In this embodiment, the washing machine further includes a drying fan. To prevent odor and bacterial growth if clothes are not removed promptly, the method of this embodiment further includes: controlling the drying fan to turn on when the buzzer completes the first execution of steps S1 and S2 and no user is detected within the preset distance from the washing machine; wherein the wind speed of the drying fan is less than a preset wind speed threshold.

[0051] In order to reduce system energy consumption and improve the intelligence of the control process, the method described in this embodiment also includes: when a user is detected within the preset distance from the washing machine, controlling the drying fan to turn off.

[0052] Specifically, when a preset wash cycle ends, and after the buzzer sounds for n seconds and then turns off for m seconds, if the system hasn't detected a user within the preset distance of the washing machine, the system controls the dryer fan to turn on, providing low-speed ventilation for any clothes that haven't been removed in time, preventing odor and bacterial growth. During this process, the dryer fan is turned off whenever a user is detected within the preset distance of the washing machine, reducing system energy consumption while also increasing the intelligence of the control process, further enhancing the user experience.

[0053] It should be noted that because excessively high drying fan speeds can easily cause air, dust, and impurities to adhere to clothing, causing contamination, in this embodiment, when the drying fan is turned on for ventilation, the drying fan speed should be less than a preset wind speed threshold. In this embodiment, the preset wind speed threshold is 10 m / s.

[0054] In order to further remind the user in a timely and effective manner and prevent the user from forgetting clothes, the method described in this embodiment also includes: when the volume of the prompt sound reaches the preset volume threshold, sending a preset prompt message to the user terminal.

[0055] Specifically, the user terminal can be a user's mobile phone. When the volume of the prompt sound emitted by the buzzer reaches a preset volume threshold, the system can send a preset prompt message to the user's mobile phone in the form of a text message, or the mobile phone can emit a predetermined sound or voice message, so that the user is informed in time that there are still clothes left in the washing machine.

[0056] To accurately and effectively detect the distance between the user and the washing machine, the washing machine of this embodiment further includes one of the following devices: an infrared sensor, a distance sensor, or a camera. In this regard, the method of controlling the buzzer to be turned off when a user is detected within the preset distance from the washing machine of this embodiment includes controlling the buzzer to be turned off when the user is detected within the preset distance from the washing machine by the infrared sensor, the distance sensor, or the camera.

[0057] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment uses an infrared sensor 1 to detect the relative distance between the user and the washing machine. When the system determines that the relative distance between the user and the washing machine is less than the preset distance, it means that the user has arrived in front of the washing machine. At this time, the buzzer is controlled to turn off to stop reminding the user. In this embodiment, the washing machine includes a display screen 2 for displaying various parameters during the operation of the washing machine. The infrared sensor 1 can be installed on the display screen 2, and the buzzer can be installed on the back of the display screen 2 (not shown in the figure).

[0058] In order to ventilate the washed clothes in time and prevent the clothes from generating odor and breeding bacteria, the method described in this embodiment also includes: when the preset washing program is completed, controlling the door of the washing machine to open.

[0059] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, when a preset washing program is completed, in addition to promptly reminding the user, the door 3 of the washing machine is controlled to automatically open a certain angle to ventilate the washed clothes in time to prevent the clothes from generating odor and breeding bacteria, thereby further improving the intelligence of the washing machine and further improving the user experience.

[0060] The following combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the washing machine control method provided by the present invention is further described in detail:

[0061] A smart washing machine with an infrared sensor and buzzer. The infrared sensor 1 is located above the display screen 2, and the buzzer is located behind the display screen 2. The buzzer volume can be adjusted as needed, with the maximum volume not exceeding the national standard of 72dB for washing machines. The washing machine has an automatic door opening device and function and can be controlled using a mobile phone app.

[0062] When the washing machine finishes washing clothes, the door automatically opens to a certain angle, allowing the user to easily access the clothes and ventilate the machine. Simultaneously, a buzzer sounds to remind the user to remove the clothes immediately. The mobile app also notifies the user that the washing process is complete. An infrared sensor detects whether the user is within a preset distance from the washing machine. If the user is detected within the preset distance within n seconds of the chime, the user is deemed to have received the end-of-wash notification, the chime turns off, and the cycle ends.

[0063] If no user is detected within the preset distance from the washing machine within n seconds of the prompt tone response, the buzzer turns off for m seconds while continuing to detect users. At this point, the dryer fan turns on, forcing low-speed ventilation to prevent odors from clothing due to confinement. Excessive wind speeds can easily cause dust or impurities in the air to adhere to clothing and cause contamination. After m seconds, the buzzer volume increases and turns on for n seconds. A check is performed to determine whether the volume is less than 72dB. If so, the aforementioned cycle of increasing the buzzer volume for n seconds and stopping for m seconds continues until a user is detected within the preset distance from the washing machine. Throughout this process, the buzzer and dryer fan are turned off as long as a user is detected within the preset distance from the washing machine.

[0064] If the buzzer volume reaches 72dB, it will remain at 72dB and continue to cycle on for n seconds and off for m seconds. At the same time, the mobile app will sound a reminder that the wash is complete, reinforcing the user's awareness. Since the buzzer volume has reached the maximum allowed, there may be a risk of nuisance to others, so the user is prompted to turn it off immediately. The dryer fan will continue to ventilate the machine until a user is detected within the preset distance from the washing machine. At this point, the buzzer and dryer fan will turn off, signaling the end of the wash cycle.

[0065] In this embodiment, the values ​​of n and m are both greater than 0 and are not specifically limited here (for example: after washing is completed, a 3s prompt is displayed, followed by a 5s wait, followed by another 3s prompt, and so on). The volume value of 72dB is the maximum buzzer volume calibrated before the machine leaves the factory. This is the maximum dehydration noise level specified by the national standard for washing machines and meets the requirements. The mobile app reminder method can be SMS reminder, voice reminder, or other sound reminder, and is not specifically limited here. The low wind speed of the fan for ventilation generally does not exceed 10m / s.

[0066] In summary, the present invention provides a method for controlling a washing machine, wherein the washing machine is provided with an infrared sensor, a camera, or a distance sensor that can detect whether a user is in front of the washing machine, and the door of the washing machine is provided with an automatic opening device. When washing clothes is completed, the washing machine promptly issues a reminder. If a user is detected within a preset distance from the washing machine, it can be considered that the user is in front of the washing machine, and the reminder is turned off at this time; if the user is not detected within the preset distance from the washing machine, a reminder is issued at regular intervals, and the volume of each reminder increases until the maximum volume reaches 72dB and the user is detected within the preset distance, then the reminder is turned off to ensure that the user takes out the clothes in time to avoid odor, bacterial growth, or damage to the clothes. At the same time, when the user does not take the clothes, the door is automatically opened, and the drying fan is started to keep the washing machine drum ventilated to avoid odor and bacterial growth due to long-term non-taken clothes. At the same time, the mobile phone app sends text messages or voice reminders to the user.

[0067] The washing machine control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention reminds the user at the end of the preset washing program of the washing machine until the user is detected within a preset distance from the washing machine. This allows the user to be reminded of the completion of washing continuously before the user is detected within the preset distance, effectively avoiding the situation where the user does not hear the reminder tone or is busy with other things when hearing the reminder tone and forgets to take out the clothes. At the same time, the present invention can stop the reminder in time when the user is detected within the preset distance from the washing machine, effectively avoiding excessive reminders that lead to a poor user experience. It can be seen that the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention can more effectively remind the user of the completion of washing, prevent the user from forgetting the clothes, and can turn off the reminder in time, thereby greatly improving the user experience.
