Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of household appliances, and more particularly to a control method, apparatus, garment processing equipment, and storage medium for garment processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] For washing efficiency and other considerations, people need to sort and wash clothes separately, leading to the development of clothing processing equipment with two drums. In a dual-drum clothing processing system, each drum is an independent structure capable of executing its own corresponding clothing processing program. However, in practical applications, during operation, conflicts may occur between the processing programs of the different drums, resulting in low processing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a method, apparatus, garment processing equipment, and storage medium for controlling garment processing equipment, which can improve the garment processing efficiency of multi-tank garment processing equipment.

[0004] The technical solution of this application embodiment is implemented as follows:

[0005] This application provides a control method for a garment processing device, the garment processing device being configured with at least two tanks, the method comprising:

[0006] If it is determined that the clothing processing equipment is in a first operating stage, the portion of the tub that is in operation during the first operating stage is defined as the first tub; the first operating stage represents the stage in which the power of the clothing processing equipment is greater than a first set threshold.

[0007] Adjust the operating parameters corresponding to the first tub to control the power of the clothing processing equipment to be less than or equal to the first set threshold.

[0008] In the above scheme, the set index parameter corresponding to the first barrel is less than the second set threshold.

[0009] In the above scheme, the set index parameters include at least one of the following:

[0010] Corresponding to the capacity of the bucket;

[0011] The corresponding weight of the clothes inside the tub;

[0012] The duration of time the corresponding tank is in operation;

[0013] The estimated completion time for the corresponding barrel.

[0014] In the above scheme, determining the portion of the barrel in operation during the first operating phase as the first barrel includes:

[0015] Receive a first instruction from the user, and determine the first bucket based on the bucket indicated by the first instruction.

[0016] In the above scheme, before determining the portion of the barrels in operation during the first operating phase as the first barrel, the method further includes:

[0017] Based on the clothing processing program to be executed corresponding to each bin of the clothing processing equipment, it is determined whether the clothing processing equipment has a first operating stage to be run.

[0018] The method in the above scheme further includes:

[0019] If it is determined that the clothing processing equipment is in a first operating stage that needs to be started, a first prompt message is output; the first prompt message indicates at least two adjustment methods for the working parameters corresponding to the at least one first tub.

[0020] Receive a second instruction, and determine at least one adjustment method among the at least two adjustment methods based on the second instruction;

[0021] The adjustment of the operating parameters corresponding to the first tank includes:

[0022] The working parameters corresponding to at least one first barrel are adjusted based on the determined adjustment method.

[0023] In the above scheme, adjusting the operating parameters corresponding to the first tank includes:

[0024] Control the heating element corresponding to the first tank to reduce power and / or stop working.

[0025] This application embodiment also provides a garment processing equipment control device, including:

[0026] The processing unit is used to determine that the clothing processing equipment is in a first operating stage, and to identify the portion of the tub that is in operation during the first operating stage as the first tub; the first operating stage represents the stage in which the power of the clothing processing equipment is greater than a first set threshold.

[0027] An adjustment unit is used to adjust the operating parameters corresponding to the first tub body to control the power of the clothing processing equipment to be less than or equal to the first set threshold.

[0028] This application also provides a garment processing device, including: a processor and a memory for storing a computer program capable of running on the processor.

[0029] When the processor runs the computer program, it executes the steps of the above-described clothing processing equipment control method.

[0030] This application embodiment also provides a storage medium storing a computer program thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the above-described clothing processing equipment control method.

[0031] In this embodiment of the application, the clothing processing device is configured with at least two tanks. When it is determined that the clothing processing device has a first operating stage, the part of the tanks that is in the operating state in the first operating stage is identified as the first tank. The working parameters corresponding to the first tank are adjusted to control the power of the clothing processing device to be less than or equal to a first set threshold. The first operating stage represents the stage in which the power of the clothing processing device is greater than the first set threshold.

[0032] During the operation of a garment processing device, conflicts may occur between the garment processing programs corresponding to the different drums. For example, while one drum is performing a drying program, at least one drum may be performing a heating washing or drying program. In this case, the instantaneous power and / or average power of the entire garment processing device may exceed the safe power of a household power supply system, posing a safety hazard and potentially leading to an accident. The above solution addresses this by configuring the garment processing device with at least two drums. Given a first operating phase, a portion of the drums in operation during this phase is designated as the first drum. The operating parameters of the first drum are adjusted so that the power of the garment processing device is less than or equal to a first set threshold, thus resolving the conflict between the garment processing programs of the different drums during the first operating phase. Based on the first set threshold requirement of the garment processing device, this solution designates a portion of the drums in operation as the first drum and adjusts its operating parameters to avoid conflicts between the garment processing programs of the different drums. This ensures that the garment processing device operates within the safe power range of the first set threshold while improving the garment processing efficiency of the multi-drum garment processing device.

[0042] For reasons such as washing effectiveness, people need to sort and wash clothes separately, leading to the development of clothing processing equipment with two drums. In a dual-drum clothing processing equipment, each drum is an independent structure capable of executing its respective clothing processing program.

[0043] In the actual operation of a dual-tub laundry processing equipment, the laundry processing programs corresponding to each tub are independent of each other. In some application scenarios, while one tub is performing a drying program, at least one tub is performing a heating washing program or a drying program. At this time, the instantaneous power and / or average power of the entire laundry processing equipment exceeds the safe power of the household power supply system, which poses a safety hazard and may even lead to a safety accident.

[0044] Based on this, in various embodiments of this application, the garment processing device is configured with at least two containers. When the garment processing device is determined to have a first operating phase, the containers in operation during this phase are designated as the first container. The operating parameters corresponding to the first container are adjusted to control the power of the garment processing device to be less than or equal to a first set threshold. The first operating phase represents a phase where the power of the garment processing device exceeds the first set threshold. Based on the requirement of the first set threshold for the garment processing device, the above solution identifies a portion of the containers in operation as the first container. By adjusting the operating parameters of the first container, conflicts between the garment processing programs of each container are avoided. This ensures that the garment processing device operates within the safe power range of the first set threshold while improving the garment processing efficiency of the multi-container garment processing device.

[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0046] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the implementation flow of the clothing processing equipment control method provided in this application embodiment. This application embodiment provides a clothing processing equipment control method. It should be noted that clothing processing equipment refers to equipment capable of performing one or more processing methods on clothing, such as washing, dehydration, and drying, including but not limited to washing machines and washer-dryer combos. Here, a multi-tub washer-dryer combo is used as an example for illustration.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, a control method for a garment processing device is provided. The garment processing device is equipped with at least two tanks, including:

[0048] Step 101: Determine that there is a first operating stage in the clothing processing equipment, and identify the part of the tub that is in operation during the first operating stage as the first tub.

[0049] The first operating phase refers to the phase in which the power of the clothing processing equipment is greater than a first set threshold.

[0050] To determine whether a first operating stage exists during the operation of the garment processing equipment, if a first operating stage exists, a portion of the at least two drums in the operating state during the first operating stage is identified as the first drum. When identifying the first drum, a portion, not all, of the drums in the operating state is designated as the first drum. For example, if two drums are in the operating state, one is designated as the first drum; if three drums are in the operating state, one or two are designated as the first drum. Correspondingly, the remaining drums in the operating state are subsequently referred to as the second drum, representing any drum in the operating state other than the first drum. That is, the number of at least one first drum identified is less than the total number of drums in the operating state, thus determining the second drums other than the first drums.

[0051] The operation of the garment processing equipment includes a phase in which at least one drum of the garment processing equipment is in operation, which can be understood as the time period during which at least one drum of the garment processing equipment is in operation. The first operating phase is the phase in which the power of the garment processing equipment exceeds a first set threshold during operation. Preferably, when determining whether the first operating phase exists during the operation of the garment processing equipment, the determination can be made during the phase in which at least two drums are in operation.

[0052] The power of the garment processing equipment is the sum of the power required by each drum of the garment processing equipment. A first set threshold can be set as needed; for example, the first set threshold can be set to the rated power of the garment processing equipment. In practical applications, the set threshold can be set according to the type of garment processing equipment. In some embodiments, the set threshold is greater than or equal to the peak power of the garment processing program corresponding to any drum in the garment processing equipment; that is, the set threshold is set to be no less than the peak power of any garment processing program corresponding to any drum. For example, the set threshold can be set to 2300.

[0053] In practical applications, determining whether a first operational phase exists during the operation of garment processing equipment includes, but is not limited to, the following situations:

[0054] 1) When the garment processing equipment is not in operation, it receives start commands from at least two drums. These start commands instruct the equipment to simultaneously put at least two drums into operation. Before or simultaneously putting at least two drums into operation, it is determined whether a first operating phase exists during the operation of the garment processing equipment.

[0055] 2) When the garment processing equipment is in operation, that is, during the operation of the garment processing equipment, a start command is received for at least one drum. The start command is used to instruct the garment processing equipment to control at least one more drum to enter the operating state. Thus, at least two drums will be in the operating state simultaneously. Before or simultaneously with controlling at least one drum to enter the operating state, it is determined whether a first operating stage exists in the operation of the garment processing equipment.

[0056] In the case described in 2) above, during operation, the garment processing equipment responds to real-time commands and controls the drum, which was originally in a non-operational state, to enter the operating state. Here, whenever a command instructs the drum to enter the operating state, it can be determined whether a first operating phase exists during the operation.

[0057] Step 102: Adjust the operating parameters corresponding to the first tub to control the power of the clothing processing equipment to be less than or equal to the first set threshold.

[0058] Adjust the operating parameters of at least one first drum of the garment processing equipment to make the power of the garment processing equipment less than or equal to a first set threshold. This ensures that the garment processing equipment operates within the safe power range of the first set threshold while ensuring that the second drum can obtain sufficient power so that the second drum can normally execute the predetermined garment processing program.

[0059] In practical applications, unforeseen circumstances, such as receiving control commands from users, may cause the power of the laundry processing equipment to increase. If the increased power exceeds a set threshold, the power of at least one of the first tubs can be adjusted to be less than or equal to the first set threshold. This ensures that the second tub receives sufficient power to execute its predetermined laundry processing program, thus prioritizing the operation of the first tubs. Compared to a solution that randomly suspends tub operation when the power exceeds a safe level, this solution allows some tubs to complete their work more quickly, freeing up space for the next cycle. In other words, multi-tub laundry processing equipment can process more laundry per unit time, improving its overall efficiency.

[0060] Specifically, when adjusting the operating parameters corresponding to at least one first tank, depending on the specific control scenario, at least one component corresponding to the first tank can be controlled to operate at a lower power level or stop operating. Figure 2 Taking a twin-tub washer-dryer combo as an example, the components of the garment handling unit include, but are not limited to: a fan; a condenser; a heating element; and a drive mechanism to move the tubs. The structure of washer-dryer combos with three or more tubs is similar and will not be described further here.

[0061] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the garment processing equipment has a first operating stage, a portion of the containers of at least two containers in the operating state during the first operating stage is designated as the first container. By adjusting the operating parameters of the first container, the power of the garment processing equipment is made less than or equal to a first set threshold, thus resolving the problem of garment processing program conflicts among the containers in the first operating stage. Based on the requirement of the first set threshold for the garment processing equipment, the above solution identifies a portion of the containers in the operating state as the first container and avoids conflicts between the garment processing programs of each container by adjusting the operating parameters of the first container, thereby ensuring that the garment processing equipment operates within the safe power range of the first set threshold. Simultaneously, compared to the garment processing equipment randomly pausing container operation, the above solution allows some containers to complete their work more quickly, freeing up containers for the next operation. In other words, the multi-container garment processing equipment can process more garments per unit time, improving its garment processing efficiency. In summary, the above solution improves the garment processing efficiency of the multi-container garment processing equipment while ensuring that the garment processing equipment operates within the safe power range of the first set threshold.

[0062] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the implementation process of another clothing processing equipment control method provided in this application embodiment. This application embodiment provides a clothing processing equipment control method.

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, a control method for a garment processing device is provided. The garment processing device is equipped with at least two tanks, including:

[0064] Step 301: Based on the clothing processing program to be executed corresponding to each drum of the clothing processing equipment, determine whether the clothing processing equipment has a first running stage to be run.

[0065] Based on the clothing processing program to be executed for each drum of the clothing processing equipment, the operating parameters of the drum can be determined when the clothing processing program is executed, thereby determining the power of the drum in executing the clothing processing program. Combined with the time parameters of the clothing processing program, the power of the clothing processing equipment in each time period during operation can be determined. Here, the power of each time period is compared with a first preset threshold. Based on the comparison result, it is determined whether there is at least one time period in which the power of the clothing processing equipment exceeds the first preset threshold. If at least one time period satisfies the above condition, this at least one time period is the first operating stage to be run; that is, the clothing processing equipment has a first operating stage to be run.

[0066] Step 302: If it is determined that the clothing processing equipment is in the first operating stage that needs to be started, output the first prompt message.

[0067] The first prompt information represents at least two adjustment methods for the working parameters corresponding to the at least one first barrel.

[0068] If it is determined that the garment processing equipment has a first operational stage to be run, that is, during the operation of the garment processing equipment, there is a stage where the garment processing programs corresponding to at least two drums conflict, then at least two adjustment methods are determined for the operating parameters corresponding to at least one first drum. Each adjustment method corresponds to adjusting the operating parameters of at least one first drum when executing at least one garment processing program, and the determined at least two adjustment methods are output in the form of prompt information.

[0069] Here, the output can be sent to the user terminal or output through an interactive device, such as a screen display; there is no limitation on this.

[0070] Step 303: Receive the second instruction and determine at least one adjustment method among the at least two adjustment methods based on the second instruction.

[0071] Receive a second instruction from the user and determine at least one adjustment method based on the second instruction.

[0072] Step 304: Determine that there is a first operating stage in the clothing processing equipment, and identify the part of the tub that is in operation during the first operating stage as the first tub.

[0073] The first operating phase refers to the phase in which the power of the clothing processing equipment is greater than a first set threshold.

[0074] Step 304 is the same as step 101, and the implementation process is described in step 101.

[0075] In some embodiments, defining the portion of the barrel in operation during the first operating phase as the first barrel includes:

[0076] Receive a first instruction from the user, and determine the first bucket based on the bucket indicated by the first instruction.

[0077] The system receives a first instruction from the user, which indicates at least one bucket selected by the user. Here, the user can use the first instruction to select a first bucket for adjusting operating parameters, or a second bucket to guarantee power output. This allows the user to set the bucket that guarantees power output, achieving the desired effect and thus improving the user experience.

[0078] In some embodiments, the set index parameter corresponding to the first barrel is less than the second set threshold.

[0079] Based on the set index parameters corresponding to each bucket, buckets whose set index parameters are less than a second set threshold are identified as the first buckets. This allows for the identification of a subset of buckets as the first buckets from at least two buckets currently in operation. Here, the second set threshold can be set according to the specific type of set index parameter.

[0080] In some embodiments, the setting index parameter includes at least one of the following:

[0081] Corresponding to the capacity of the bucket;

[0082] The corresponding weight of the clothes inside the tub;

[0083] The duration of time the corresponding tank is in operation;

[0084] The estimated completion time for the corresponding barrel.

[0085] The capacity of each drum represents the weight of dry clothes in a single wash cycle and is a specification of the garment processing equipment. Based on whether the capacity of each drum is less than a set threshold, drums with capacities less than the threshold are designated as the first drum. This allows drums with larger capacities to complete the garment processing program as quickly as possible, and even finish processing at the predetermined completion time. In this way, the garment processing equipment frees up larger drums for the next cycle, improving the garment processing efficiency of multi-drum garment processing equipment.

[0086] Similarly, determining the first bin based on whether the weight of the clothes inside is less than a set threshold can also improve the processing efficiency of multi-bin clothing handling equipment. Here, the weight of the clothes corresponding to the bin can be obtained by setting a corresponding weighing component.

[0087] The duration of time a bin is in operation determines the corresponding clothing processing program. Based on whether the duration of operation is less than a set threshold, bins with operation times less than the threshold are designated as the first bin. This allows bins nearing completion of clothing processing to finish their work quickly, freeing up space for the next cycle and improving the processing efficiency of multi-bin clothing processing equipment. In specific application scenarios, such as when a user uses a dual-bin clothing processing equipment to process three batches of clothing, the solution in this embodiment can quickly free up one bin for processing the missing third batch, shortening the waiting time.

[0088] The estimated completion time of the washing machine's cycle represents the expected completion time of the washing process when the machine is normally executing the predetermined laundry handling procedure. Based on whether the estimated completion time of each machine is less than a set threshold, machines with estimated completion times less than the threshold are designated as the first machine. This allows machines with later estimated completion times to complete the laundry handling procedure as quickly as possible, and even allows them to complete the process at the predetermined completion time. In this way, the completion times of multiple machines are similar, reducing the number of times users need to collect their laundry. In some specific application scenarios, certain fabrics need to be dried as soon as possible after washing to prevent wrinkles and maintain their appearance. This embodiment's solution reduces the number of times users need to collect their laundry while shortening the waiting time after washing, thus achieving better washing results.

[0089] Step 305: Adjust the working parameters corresponding to at least one first tub based on the determined adjustment method to control the power of the clothing processing equipment to be less than or equal to the first set threshold.

[0090] Based on at least one determined adjustment method, the operating parameters of at least one first tank are adjusted when executing at least one clothing processing procedure, so that the power of the clothing processing equipment is less than or equal to a first set threshold. This ensures that the clothing processing equipment operates within the safe power range of the first set threshold while guaranteeing that the second tank receives sufficient power to execute the predetermined clothing processing procedure. Compared to a solution that randomly suspends tank operation when the power exceeds the safe range, the above solution allows some tanks to complete their work more quickly, freeing up tanks for the next cycle. In other words, the multi-tank clothing processing equipment can process more clothing per unit time, improving its clothing processing efficiency.

[0091] In some embodiments, adjusting the operating parameters corresponding to at least one first tank includes:

[0092] Control the heating element corresponding to the first tank to reduce power and / or stop working.

[0093] For clothing processing equipment, heating elements are used to perform clothing processing programs such as heating washing and drying. When at least one heating element in the first tub is in operation, by controlling the corresponding heating element in the first tub to reduce its power and / or stop operating, the power of the heating element in the first tub can be reduced, thereby reducing the power of the clothing processing equipment to be less than or equal to a set threshold.

[0094] In some embodiments, when at least one heating element of the first tub is in operation, controlling the heating element to stop working can reduce the power of the heating element of the first tub, thereby reducing the power of the clothing processing equipment, so that the power of the clothing processing equipment is less than or equal to a set threshold.

[0095] In practical applications, when the heating element corresponding to the first tub stops working, the corresponding garment processing program can be set according to the specific scenario: from executing the drying program to waiting to execute the drying program, or from executing the heating washing program to executing the room temperature washing program in the first tub.

[0096] In some embodiments, at least one heating element of the first tub may consist of at least two sub-heating elements that can be independently controlled to be turned on or off. When at least one heating element of the first tub is in operation, controlling at least one sub-heating element to stop operating can reduce the total power of the heating elements of the first tub, thereby reducing the power of the clothing processing equipment to less than or equal to a set threshold.

[0097] In some embodiments, the heating element of at least one first tub can be a variable power heating element. When the heating element of at least one first tub is in operation, controlling the operating power of the heating element to reduce the power of the clothing processing equipment can reduce the power of the clothing processing equipment to less than or equal to a set threshold.

[0098] In some embodiments, after the drying program of the second tub is completed, the previously stopped heating element is controlled to resume operation and / or increase its power, so that the first tub can continue to perform clothing processing programs such as heating washing programs or drying programs.

[0099] In this embodiment, determining whether a first operating phase exists during the operation of the clothing processing equipment allows for the advance determination of the equipment's operating parameter adjustment method, compared to a scheme that randomly suspends the operation of the drums when the safe power is exceeded. Furthermore, by receiving user-input commands, the multi-drum clothing processing equipment processes clothing according to the user-defined method, thus achieving the user's desired effect and improving the user experience.

[0100] Based on the method flow of the above embodiments, the following will be used as an example. Figure 2 Taking the dual-tub washer-dryer combo shown as an example, the specific implementation process of the clothing processing equipment control method of the present invention will be further described in detail.

[0101] Here, the dual-tub washer-dryer combo can be a front-loading type and / or a top-loading type.

[0102] Combination Figure 4 The schematic diagram shows that the lower tub of the twin-tub washer-dryer combo can perform the following laundry programs: a normal temperature washing program (power W1); a high temperature washing program (power W2); and a drying program (power W3). The upper tub of the twin-tub washer-dryer combo can perform the following laundry programs: a normal temperature washing program (power W4); a high temperature washing program (power W5); and a drying program (power W6).

[0103] In this application embodiment, the power limit condition is that the power of the dual-tub washer-dryer combo is less than or equal to 2300W, that is, the first set threshold is set to 2300.

[0104] like Figure 5 The diagram shows nine wash-dry combinations for both the upper and lower drums. Solid lines represent combinations that can run simultaneously, while dashed lines indicate combinations where power exceeds limits and requires logic control to keep power below 2300W. Here, the logic control prioritizes the power of the lower drum to ensure its operation, as its larger capacity allows it to handle more laundry.

[0105] In this application example, the procedure combination for the upper and lower buckets is described:

[0106] 1) W2W6 combination: The lower tub performs the drying program, and the upper tub performs the high-temperature washing program.

[0107] First, ensure that the high-temperature washing program in the lower drum is executed.

[0108] The specific process of the high-temperature washing program in the tub includes: water inlet time t1, power <100W; heating and washing time t2, power 1700-1800W; spin-drying time t3, power 400-500W, with the highest power occurring during the heating and washing stage.

[0109] The drying process in the drum includes: a heating stage lasting t4 with a power of 600-700W; and a cooling stage lasting t5 with a power of 100-200W after drying.

[0110] Therefore, the specific control logic includes:

[0111] When the current bucket is at t1, the current bucket is unaffected.

[0112] When the lower drum enters t2 and the upper drum is at t4, the upper drum should immediately stop heating and drying until t2 ends, at which point the drying process can continue. When the upper drum is at t5, it is unaffected.

[0113] When the current bucket is at t3, the current bucket is unaffected.

[0114] 2) W3W5 combination: The lower tub performs the drying program, and the upper tub performs the high-temperature washing program.

[0115] First, ensure that the drying process in the lower drum is executed.

[0116] The specific process of the drying procedure in the lower drum includes: heating stage for t6, power 1300W-1400W; cooling after drying for t7, power 150-250W.

[0117] The specific process of the high-temperature washing program in the upper drum includes: water inlet time t8, power <100W; heating and washing time t9, power 1700-1800W; spin-drying time t 10 Power 300-400W.

[0118] Therefore, the specific control logic includes:

[0119] When the lower tub is at t6, the upper tub being at t8 is unaffected, but it cannot enter the heating and washing stage until t6 ends; when the lower tub enters t6 and the upper tub is at t9, the upper tub should immediately stop heating and enter the room temperature washing state until t6 ends; when the upper tub is at t9... 10 At that time, it will not be affected.

[0120] When the current bucket is at t7, the current bucket is unaffected.

[0121] In this way, based on the control logic strategy of the design, the upper and lower drums can be washed and dried at the same time when the power limit conditions are met, and the operation of the lower drum is guaranteed first when the power limit conditions are not met.

[0122] Here, through program logic control, the power of the bucket can be prioritized to ensure the operation of the bucket. The specific control logic can be set accordingly, and will not be elaborated here.

[0123] Furthermore, when it is predicted that there will be a stage in the operation that does not meet the power limit conditions, at least two control logic strategies can be predetermined for the user to choose from. The user's corresponding instructions are received, and at least one control logic strategy is determined. Each control logic strategy is manifested as an adjustment method. Based on the corresponding adjustment method, the working parameters of at least one bucket when executing at least one clothing processing program are adjusted.

[0124] Preferably, the evaluation corresponding to each of the two control logic strategies is output, such as the expected completion time of each barrel, so that the user can make the optimal choice.

[0125] To implement the method of the embodiments of this application, the embodiments of this application also provide a garment processing equipment control device, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the device includes:

[0126] Processing unit 601 is used to determine that the clothing processing equipment has a first operating stage, and to identify the part of the tub that is in operation during the first operating stage as the first tub; the first operating stage represents the stage in which the power of the clothing processing equipment is greater than a first set threshold.
