[0059] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0060] The embodiment of the present invention provides a bathing device. In this embodiment, the bathing device is a bathtub. In other embodiments, the bathing device can also be other types of equipment with bathing functions, such as a foot bath.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bathing equipment includes a body with a bathing cavity, a detection module 2, a cleaning module 3, and a control device 1.

[0068] Further, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bathing device also includes a water inlet module 4, which is connected to the control device 1. The water inlet module 4 includes a water inlet valve and a water temperature control module. When the water inlet valve is open, external water enters the bathing chamber; when the water inlet valve is closed, external water stops entering the bathing chamber. The water temperature control module is used to adjust the inlet water temperature of the bathing chamber.

[0069] Further, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bathing device further comprises a drainage module 5, which is connected to the control device 1. The drainage module 5 comprises a drainage valve, which is opened to discharge water in the bathing cavity to the outside; and closed to stop the water in the bathing cavity from being discharged to the outside.

[0070] Further, refer to Figure 2 The bathing device further includes a water level detection module 6, which is connected to the control device 1. The water level detection module 6 can be located within the bathing chamber and configured to detect the water level within the bathing chamber. The water level detection module 6 can include water level sensors located at multiple first preset water levels; alternatively, the water level detection module 6 can include a float and a detection module corresponding to the float.

[0071] Further, refer to Figure 2 The bathing device further comprises a temperature detection module 7, which is connected to the control device 1. The temperature detection module 7 can be used to detect the ambient temperature and / or the inlet water temperature.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 The control device 1 of the bathing device includes: a processor 1001 (e.g., a CPU), a memory 1002, a timer 1003, etc. The various components of the control device 1 are connected via a communication bus. The memory 1002 can be a high-speed RAM memory or a non-volatile memory such as a disk storage device. The memory 1002 can also optionally be a storage device independent of the aforementioned processor 1001.

[0073] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 2 The device structure shown in the figure does not constitute a limitation of the device, and may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or arrange the components differently.

[0074] like Figure 2 As shown, the memory 1002 as a storage medium may include a control program for the bathing device. Figure 2 In the device shown, the processor 1001 can be used to call the control program of the bathing equipment stored in the memory 1002 and execute the relevant steps of the control method of the bathing equipment in the following embodiments.

[0075] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for controlling bathing equipment, which is applied to the above-mentioned control device.

[0076] Reference Figure 3 , an embodiment of a control method for a bathing device of the present application is proposed. In this embodiment, the control method for the bathing device includes:

[0077] Step S10, obtaining detection data of a bathing cavity in a bathing device, wherein the detection data represents the cleanliness of the bathing cavity;

[0078] The detection data may include light detection data and / or electrical detection data, etc., which can reflect the cleanliness of the bathing chamber.

[0079] The cleanliness of the bathing cavity includes the cleanliness of the inner surface of the bathing cavity and / or the cleanliness of the water contained in the bathing cavity.

[0080] In this embodiment, the detection data is detected by a detection module inside the bathing cavity, and may also be detected by a detection module outside the bathing cavity.

[0081] Step S10 is executed when the water inlet instruction is received; or, step S10 is executed when the bathing device reaches a preset state, the preset state including the bathing device being turned on or the water in the bathing cavity being completely drained, etc.

[0082] Step S20: When the detection data meets the start condition of the cleaning mode, the bathing device is controlled to start the cleaning mode to clean the bathing cavity.

[0083] The start condition specifically refers to the target value range that the detection data needs to reach or the target relationship that the preset parameters need to reach when the cleaning mode needs to be turned on.

[0084] When the test data meets the start conditions of the cleaning mode, it indicates that the cleanliness of the bathing cavity does not meet the hygienic requirements and the cleaning mode needs to be activated to clean the bathing cavity. When the test data does not meet the start conditions of the cleaning mode, it indicates that the cleanliness of the bathing cavity meets the hygienic requirements and there is no need to activate the cleaning module to clean the bathing cavity. The bathing equipment can maintain its current state of operation or further perform operations with hygienic requirements such as water filling.

[0085] When the cleaning mode is turned on, the bathing device can be controlled to turn on the cleaning module and / or perform the drainage operation. Specifically, the cleaning module can be turned on directly; the drainage operation can be performed first and then the cleaning module can be turned on; the water can be drained first.

[0086] Furthermore, after step S20 , the process may return to step S10 until the detection data satisfies the start condition of the cleaning mode.

[0087] A control method for bathing equipment proposed in an embodiment of the present invention obtains detection data representing the cleanliness of a bathing cavity of the bathing equipment, and controls the bathing equipment to start a cleaning mode to clean the bathing cavity when the detection data meets the starting conditions. Based on this, the cleaning of the bathing equipment does not require human participation, but can be automatically triggered through data monitoring, thereby effectively improving the timeliness of the cleaning of the bathing equipment and improving the cleanliness of the bathing equipment.

[0088] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the method for controlling a bathing device further includes: executing the step of acquiring detection data from the bathing cavity of the bathing device upon receiving a preset instruction from a remote device. In this embodiment, the preset instruction is a water inlet instruction. In other embodiments, the preset instruction may also be a power-on instruction for the bathing device.

[0089] An application corresponding to the bathing device may be installed on the remote device, and the user may open the application and operate in the application to input preset instructions.

[0090] The preset instruction indicates that the user has a need to use the bathing equipment.

[0091] In this embodiment, during the process of remote control of the bathing equipment by the remote device, through the above method, the user does not need to reach the location of the bathing equipment, and can automatically clean the bathing equipment when it is not clean through the above method, thereby improving the convenience of remote control of the bathing equipment and ensuring that the cleanliness of the equipment is improved when the user needs to use the bathing equipment.

[0092] Furthermore, in one embodiment, when the cleaning mode is turned on, when the water level in the bathing cavity is greater than or equal to a second preset water level, the bathing device is controlled to turn on the cleaning module; when the water level in the bathing cavity is less than the second preset water level, the bathing device is controlled to perform a drainage operation, thereby ensuring that there is little or no water in the bathing cavity, indicating that the surface of the bathing cavity is contaminated and the detection data meets the starting conditions, the bathing cavity can be cleaned in time by the cleaning module to improve the cleanliness of the bathing cavity surface; and when there is a lot of water or water in the bathing cavity, indicating that the water quality in the bathing cavity is poor and contaminated and the detection data meets the starting conditions, the dirty water can be discharged in time to improve the cleanliness of the bathing cavity.

[0093] Furthermore, based on the above embodiment, another embodiment of the control method of the bathing device of the present application is proposed. In this embodiment, the detection data includes the current capacitance value between at least two preset positions at the bottom of the bathing chamber, and the current capacitance value here is specifically obtained by obtaining the parameter value currently detected by the above capacitance sensor. Figure 4 , after step S10, further comprising:

[0094] Step S201, determining a capacitance difference between the current capacitance value and a preset capacitance value, wherein the preset capacitance value is a capacitance value between the at least two preset positions when the bathing cavity surface is in a clean state;

[0095] The capacitance difference here is specifically a calculation result obtained by subtracting the preset capacitance value from the current capacitance value.

[0096] The preset capacitance value here is specifically the capacitance value between at least two preset positions detected before step S10 when the bathing cavity surface is in a clean state. Whether the bathing cavity surface is in a clean state can be determined by the user. Specifically, the user can issue a preset instruction when the user believes that the bathing device surface is in a clean state. When the preset instruction is received, it can be determined that the bathing device surface is in a clean state. At this time, the parameter value detected by the capacitance sensor can be used as the preset capacitance value here.

[0097] Step S202: When the capacitance difference is greater than a preset threshold, it is determined that the detection data meets the start condition.

[0098] The preset threshold is specifically the maximum difference between the current capacitance value and the preset capacitance value allowed when the bathing device meets the user's hygiene needs. If the capacitance difference is greater than the preset threshold, it indicates that the bathing device cannot meet the user's hygiene needs.

[0099] In this embodiment, since the capacitance value between at least two preset positions will increase when the inner surface of the bathing chamber is contaminated, the current capacitance value can accurately reflect the degree of contamination of the inner surface of the bathing chamber, and the capacitance difference can accurately reflect whether the cleanliness of the inner surface of the bathing chamber can meet the hygiene requirements. Therefore, the cleaning mode is turned on when the capacitance difference is greater than the preset threshold, thereby further improving the accuracy of the cleaning mode start control while achieving automatic cleaning.

[0100] Furthermore, based on any of the above embodiments, another embodiment of the control method of the bathing equipment of the present application is proposed. In this embodiment, the current light intensity attenuation value of the light transmitted between the bottom of the bathing cavity and the top of the bathing cavity is referenced. Figure 5 After step S10, the method further includes:

[0101] Step S203, when the light intensity attenuation value is greater than the preset attenuation value, it is determined that the detection data meets the starting condition; wherein, the preset capacitance value is the attenuation value of the light intensity transmitted between the bottom of the bathing chamber and the top of the bathing chamber when the water loaded in the bathing chamber is in a clean state.

[0102] In this embodiment, the transmission light is infrared light. In other embodiments, the transmission light may also be visible light. Specifically, the transmission light may be emitted by a light emitter disposed inside the bathing chamber, or by a light emitter disposed outside the bathing chamber, or may be ambient light.

[0103] When the bathing chamber is filled with water, the transmitted light will attenuate as it travels between the bottom and top of the bathing chamber. This results in a difference in light intensity between the bottom and top, which is the light intensity attenuation value shown here. Light intensity attenuation is less when there are fewer impurities in the water, and more when there are more impurities.

[0104] The preset attenuation value here is specifically obtained by detecting the attenuation value of the light intensity transmitted between the bottom and the top of the bathing chamber when the water in the bathing chamber is in a clean state before step S10. Whether the water in the bathing chamber is in a clean state can be determined by the user. Specifically, the user can issue a preset instruction when the user believes that the water in the bathing chamber is in a clean state. Upon receiving the preset instruction, it can be determined that the water in the bathing chamber is in a clean state. At this time, the detection data of the light detection module obtains the preset attenuation value here.

[0105] The preset attenuation value is specifically the standard value of the light intensity attenuation of the transmitted light when the bathing device meets the user's hygiene requirements. A light intensity attenuation value greater than the preset attenuation value indicates that the bathing device cannot meet the user's hygiene requirements.

[0106] In this embodiment, since the attenuation of the light intensity transmitted between the bottom and the top increases when the water quality in the bathing chamber is poor, the light intensity attenuation accurately reflects whether the water quality in the bathing chamber can meet the hygiene requirements. Therefore, the cleaning mode is turned on when the light intensity attenuation value is greater than the preset attenuation value, thereby further improving the accuracy of the cleaning mode start-up control while achieving automatic cleaning.

[0107] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the light intensity attenuation value is greater than the preset attenuation value, before the step of determining whether the detection data meets the starting condition, it also includes: determining the preset attenuation value according to the water level in the bathing chamber, and the preset attenuation value is positively correlated with the water level.

[0108] In this embodiment, the preset attenuation value is linearly positively correlated with the water level, that is, the preset attenuation value increases as the water level increases. In other embodiments, the preset attenuation value may also be nonlinearly positively correlated with the water level (e.g., exponentially positively correlated).

[0109] A correspondence between the water level and the preset attenuation value may be established in advance. The correspondence may include a calculation formula, a mapping table, etc. Based on the correspondence, the preset attenuation value corresponding to the current water level may be determined.

[0110] Furthermore, before step S10, when clean water is loaded in the bathing cavity, the attenuation value of the light intensity transmitted between the bottom of the bathing cavity and the top of the bathing cavity corresponding to different first preset water levels can be detected, and a corresponding relationship between the water level and the preset attenuation value can be established based on multiple first preset water levels and their corresponding attenuation values.

[0111] In this embodiment, the preset attenuation value is determined based on the water level in the bathing chamber, which can ensure the accuracy of the water quality cleanliness reflected by the preset attenuation value, thereby further improving the accuracy of the cleaning mode startup control and improving the timeliness of the cleaning mode startup.

[0112] Furthermore, based on any of the above embodiments, another embodiment of the control method of the bathing equipment of the present application is proposed. In this embodiment, referring to Figure 6 , step S10 includes:

[0113] Step S11, detecting the water level in the bathing chamber;

[0114] Specifically, water level data currently detected by a water level sensor provided in the bathing cavity is obtained, and the current water level in the bathing cavity is determined according to the water level data.

[0115] Step S12: Acquire the detection data according to the water level.

[0116] Different types of detection data can be obtained at different water levels. Alternatively, different detection methods can be used to obtain detection data at different water levels.

[0117] In this embodiment, when the water level is less than or equal to a first preset water level, the current capacitance value between at least two preset locations at the bottom of the bathing chamber is detected, and the detection data includes the current capacitance value. When the water level is greater than the first preset water level, the current light intensity attenuation value of light transmitted between the bottom and top of the bathing chamber is detected, and the detection data includes the light intensity attenuation value. When the water level is less than or equal to the first preset water level, it indicates that the bathing chamber is dry; when the water level is greater than the first preset water level, it indicates that the bathing chamber is filled with water.

[0118] In this embodiment, detection data is obtained according to the water level in the bathing chamber, ensuring that the detection data can accurately reflect the cleanliness of the bathing chamber under different water level conditions, and ensuring that the cleaning mode can be timely and accurately activated according to the situation. Among them, when the water level is low, the unclean state in the bathing chamber is mainly caused by the unclean surface of the bathing chamber. At this time, the capacitance value is used as the detection data for judging whether the cleaning mode needs to be activated, which can ensure that the detection data can timely reflect the unclean state of the bathing chamber and enter the cleaning mode for cleaning in a timely manner, further improving the timeliness of the cleaning mode cleaning, and further improving the cleanliness of the bathing chamber; when the water level is high, the unclean state in the bathing chamber is mainly caused by the unclean water quality in the bathing chamber. At this time, the light intensity attenuation value is used as the detection data for judging whether the cleaning mode needs to be activated, which can ensure that the detection data can timely reflect the unclean state of the bathing chamber and enter the cleaning mode for cleaning in a timely manner, further improving the timeliness of the cleaning mode cleaning, and further improving the cleanliness of the bathing chamber.

[0119] In other embodiments, regardless of the water level, one of the two types of data may be used as the detection data, or both types of detection data may be detected simultaneously.

[0120] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the bathing equipment includes a light emitter and a light receiver, the light emitter is provided at one of the bottom of the bathing chamber and the top of the bathing chamber, and the light receiver is provided at the other of the bottom of the bathing chamber and the top of the bathing chamber. In the present embodiment, the light emitter is provided at the bottom of the bathing chamber, and the light receiver is provided at the top of the bathing chamber. In other embodiments, the light emitter is provided at the top of the bathing chamber, and the light receiver is provided at the bottom of the bathing chamber. Based on this, the step of detecting the current light intensity attenuation value of the light transmitted between the bottom of the bathing chamber and the top of the bathing chamber includes: controlling the light emitter to emit light of a first light intensity; obtaining a second light intensity of the light received by the light receiver; and determining the light intensity attenuation value by determining the first light intensity and the second light intensity.

[0121] In this embodiment, the light is infrared light with a preset wavelength, and the corresponding light intensity is a first light intensity.

[0122] In this embodiment, the light intensity difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity is determined, and the light intensity attenuation value can be determined based on the light intensity difference. The light intensity difference is specifically the result of subtracting the second light intensity from the first light intensity. In this embodiment, the ratio of the light intensity difference to the first light intensity is determined as the light intensity attenuation value. In other embodiments, the light intensity difference is determined as the light intensity attenuation value.

[0123] In this embodiment, through the above method, it can be ensured that the light intensity attenuation value can accurately reflect the cleanliness status of the water loaded in the bathing chamber, and the cleaning mode can be turned on in time when the water quality is poor, thereby achieving automatic cleaning while improving the timeliness of starting the cleaning mode.

[0124] In other embodiments, the light intensity attenuation value here may also be determined according to the time difference between the first moment when the light emitter emits the light and the second moment when the light receiver receives the light.

[0125] Furthermore, based on any of the above embodiments, another optional embodiment of the control method of the bathing device of the present application is proposed. In this embodiment, after the step of obtaining detection data of the bathing cavity in the bathing device, the method further includes: when the detection data does not meet the start condition, controlling the bathing device to perform a water inlet operation.

[0126] The detection data not meeting the start-up conditions can accurately reflect that the bathing equipment is currently in a clean state.

[0127] Specifically, when a water inlet instruction is received from a remote device, the above step S10 is executed. When the detection data does not meet the start condition, the bathing device is controlled to perform a water inlet operation; when the detection data meets the start condition, the bathing device can be controlled to start the cleaning mode.

[0128] In this embodiment, the above method can ensure that the bathing cavity is in a clean state before water is added to the bathing equipment, avoiding the waste of resources caused by finding that the bathing cavity is not clean after water is added and needing to drain the water, thereby improving the cleanliness of the bathing cavity while saving resources.

[0129] Further, in this embodiment, referring to Figure 7 , before the step of controlling the bathing equipment to perform the water inlet operation, it also includes:

[0130] Step S31, obtaining the ambient temperature, the target water temperature in the bathing device, and the preset water filling time;

[0131] Step S31 may be executed before step S10; step S31 may also be executed after step S10; step S31 may also be executed when the detection data indicates that the start condition has not been met.

[0132] Ambient temperature specifically refers to the temperature of the environment where the bathing equipment is located.

[0133] The target water temperature is specifically the target temperature that the water in the bathing cavity needs to reach, which is set according to user needs.

[0134] The preset water inlet time is specifically the interval between the current time and the target time when the user uses the bathing device.

[0135] The target water level and the preset water filling time can be obtained by obtaining the user-set parameters. Specifically, a water filling instruction from a remote device can be received, and the target water level and the target water filling time can be extracted from the water filling instruction.

[0136] Step S32, determining the water inlet temperature of the bathing device according to the ambient temperature, the target water temperature and the preset water inlet time;

[0137] Different ambient temperatures, different target water levels, and different preset water inlet times correspond to different target water inlet temperatures. Specifically, a correspondence between the ambient temperature, target water level, preset water inlet time, and target water inlet temperature can be pre-established. The correspondence can include a calculation formula, a mapping table, etc. Based on this correspondence, the water inlet temperature corresponding to the current ambient temperature, target water temperature, and preset water inlet time can be determined.

[0138] In one implementation, the water inlet temperature may be calculated by substituting the ambient temperature, the target water temperature, and the preset water inlet time into a preset formula.

[0139] In another implementation, more than one correspondence between the target water temperature, the preset water inlet time and the target water inlet temperature can be pre-set, and different temperature intervals correspond to different correspondences. Based on this, the temperature interval in which the ambient temperature is located is determined as the target interval, and the target water temperature and the water inlet temperature corresponding to the preset water inlet time are determined according to the correspondence corresponding to the target interval.

[0140] The step of controlling the bathing equipment to perform the water inlet operation includes:

[0141] Step S33: controlling the bathing equipment to perform water inlet operation according to the water inlet temperature.

[0142] The temperature of the water entering the bathing equipment is controlled with the inlet water temperature as the target, so that the temperature of the water entering the bathing equipment reaches the inlet water temperature.

[0143] In this embodiment, the above method is helpful to improve the accuracy of water inlet operation temperature control, so as to ensure that the water temperature can accurately reach the target water temperature when the user uses the bathing device, thereby improving the user's comfort in using the bathing device.

[0144] Furthermore, after the bathing device performs the water inlet operation, it also includes: when the current water level in the bathing cavity reaches the target water level, controlling the bathing device to stop performing the water inlet operation; after a preset time interval, returning to perform the step of obtaining the detection data of the bathing cavity in the bathing device.

[0145] Stopping the water inlet operation includes controlling the water inlet valve to close. When the duration of stopping the water inlet operation reaches a preset duration, the process returns to step S10.

[0146] The preset duration may be a fixed duration set in advance, such as 1 minute, etc. The preset duration may also be determined according to actual state parameters of the bathing device (such as water level, etc.).

[0147] In this embodiment, through the above method, the cleanliness status of the bathing chamber is detected based on the detection data for a period of time after the water supply is stopped. The detection data can accurately reflect the water quality status of the water introduced into the bathing chamber. When the water quality is poor, the cleaning mode is entered in time for cleaning, thereby further improving the timeliness of the cleaning of the bathing equipment and improving the cleanliness of the bathing equipment.

[0148] Furthermore, in this embodiment, after the step of obtaining detection data of the bathing cavity in the bathing device, the step further includes: when the current water level in the bathing cavity does not reach the target water level, executing the step of controlling the bathing device to perform a water inlet operation when the detection data does not meet the start condition; and when the current water level in the bathing cavity reaches the target water level, controlling the bathing device to maintain the current state of operation. Based on this, the bathing device can adapt to the cleanliness state and water level state of the bathing cavity to control water inlet, thereby ensuring that the target water level is reached while effectively improving the water quality of the device.

[0149] In addition, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a storage medium storing a control program for a bathing device. When the control program for the bathing device is executed by a processor, the relevant steps of any embodiment of the control method for a bathing device are implemented.
