Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of washing machine technology, specifically to a dehydration control method, apparatus, equipment, and medium. Background Technology

[0002] During the washing process, a washing machine consists of one washing cycle and multiple rinsing cycles. After washing and rinsing, the clothes need to be further dehydrated. However, during the dehydration process, uneven distribution of clothes can cause an imbalance in the inner drum of the washing machine, which can damage the machine and make it difficult to spin-dry the clothes.

[0003] Currently, when the inner drum of a washing machine becomes unbalanced during the spin-drying process, the handling methods are relatively simple, and there are technical problems to avoid the imbalance of the inner drum, which can lead to relatively low spin-drying efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problem—namely, to resolve the issue of imbalance in the inner drum of a washing machine during the spin-drying process, which results in a relatively limited solution and makes it difficult to dry clothes—this application provides a spin-drying control method, apparatus, equipment, and medium.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a dehydration control method, including:

[0006] When the washing machine detects that it has finished washing or is in the rinsing and spin-drying process, check whether there is an imbalance in the inner drum of the washing machine.

[0007] When a washing machine confirms an imbalance in the inner drum, it determines whether the washing machine is currently in the inertial spin-off state or the non-inertial spin-off state.

[0008] When the washing machine confirms that it is currently in the inertial spin cycle, it determines the current inertial spin cycle stage and performs corresponding processing based on the inertial spin cycle stage to avoid imbalance of the inner tub.

[0009] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned dehydration control method, when the washing machine confirms that it is currently in a spin-drying state, it determines the current spin-drying stage and performs corresponding processing based on the spin-drying stage to avoid imbalance of the inner tub, including:

[0010] When the washing machine confirms that it is currently in the spin cycle node and determines that the current spin cycle stage is a non-final dehydration stage after washing, it determines whether the load of clothes in the drum is greater than a preset threshold.

[0011] When the washing machine determines that the load of clothes in the drum is greater than the preset threshold, it performs a water-filling rinse process to avoid imbalance in the inner drum.

[0012] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned dehydration control method, the following further applies:

[0013] When the washing machine determines that the load of clothes in the drum is less than the preset threshold, it performs a spray rinsing process to avoid collision between the inner drum and the washing machine.

[0014] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned dehydration control method, when the washing machine confirms that it is currently in a spin-drying state, it determines the current spin-drying stage and performs corresponding processing based on the spin-drying stage to avoid imbalance of the inner tub, including:

[0015] When the washing machine confirms that it is currently in the spin cycle and determines that the current spin cycle stage is a non-final spin-drying stage after rinsing, it performs a water-retaining rinsing process to avoid imbalance in the inner tub.

[0016] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned dehydration control method, the following further applies:

[0017] When the washing machine confirms that it is currently in a spin-on state, it determines the current spin-on stage and performs corresponding processing based on the spin-on stage to avoid imbalance in the inner tub, including:

[0018] When the washing machine confirms that it is currently in the spin cycle stage and determines that the current spin cycle stage is the final spin-drying stage, it stops the spin-drying process to avoid imbalance in the inner tub.

[0019] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned dehydration control method, the following further applies:

[0020] When the washing machine confirms that it is currently in a non-inertial washing node, it determines whether the load of clothes in the drum is greater than a preset threshold.

[0021] When the washing machine determines that the load of clothes in the drum is greater than the preset threshold, it performs a waterless correction process to avoid imbalance in the inner drum.

[0022] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned dehydration control method, the following further applies:

[0023] When the washing machine determines that the load of clothes in the drum is less than the preset threshold, it adds a small amount of water to correct the imbalance in the inner drum.

[0024] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a washing machine, comprising:

[0025] The acquisition module is used to acquire the washing stage of the washing machine.

[0026] The processing module is used to determine whether the washing machine is currently in an inertial spin-off node or a non-inertial spin-off node when it is confirmed that the inner tub is unbalanced.

[0027] The processing module is also used to determine the current spin-drying stage of the washing machine when it is confirmed that the washing machine is currently in the spin-drying node, and to perform corresponding processing according to the spin-drying stage to avoid imbalance of the inner tub.

[0028] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a washing machine, including at least one processor and a memory;

[0029] The memory stores computer-executed instructions;

[0030] The at least one processor executes computer execution instructions stored in the memory, causing the at least one processor to perform the dehydration control method as described in any of the first aspects.

[0031] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the dehydration control method as described in any of the first aspects.

[0032] Those skilled in the art will understand that this application provides a dehydration control method, apparatus, device, and medium. In this method, when a washing machine detects that it has completed washing or is in the rinsing and dehydration process, it confirms whether an imbalance has occurred in the inner drum. When the washing machine confirms an imbalance, it determines whether it is currently in a spin-drying state or not. If it confirms that it is in a spin-drying state, it determines the current spin-drying stage and performs corresponding processing based on the stage to avoid further imbalance in the inner drum. Compared to existing technologies where the handling of inner drum imbalance during dehydration is relatively simple, leading to difficulty in drying clothes, this application allows for precise control of dehydration by employing different processing methods depending on the current spin-drying stage, thereby enabling faster drying of clothes and improving user satisfaction.

This is only for the convenience of description and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0045] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0047] In the existing technology, when the inner drum of the washing machine collides with the outer shell during the spin-drying process, the handling method is relatively simple, and in order to avoid the inner drum becoming unbalanced, the spin-drying effect of the clothes is relatively low.

[0048] Based on the above problems, the technical concept of this application is as follows: how to control the dehydration process so as to ensure that when an imbalance is detected in the inner drum of the washing machine, the corresponding control program is executed according to the washing stage of the dehydration process, so as to ensure that the washing machine spins the clothes dry according to the control program.

[0049] The principles and features of the embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of the embodiments of this application.

[0050] The technical solution of this application will now be described in detail through specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0051] Figure 1 A schematic flowchart of an embodiment of a dehydration control method provided in this application; see also Figure 1 The washing machine is the main implementer of the following steps, and the spin-drying control method of the washing machine specifically includes the following steps:

[0052] Step S101: When the washing machine detects that it has completed washing or is in the rinsing and spin-drying process, it confirms whether there is an imbalance problem in the inner drum of the washing machine.

[0053] It should be noted that during operation, the washing machine monitors whether it has reached the completion of washing or is in the spin-drying process after rinsing. When it is confirmed that the washing machine has reached this process, it determines whether there is an imbalance problem in the inner drum of the washing machine.

[0054] Step S102: When the washing machine confirms that the inner tub is unbalanced, it determines whether the washing machine is currently in the inertial spin-off node or the non-inertial spin-off node.

[0055] In this embodiment, when the washing machine detects a collision between the inner tub and the outer shell, it determines whether the current spin-drying program corresponds to an inertial spin-drying node or a non-inertial spin-drying node. It should be noted that during the spin-drying process, the washing machine's motor initially provides power to rotate the inner tub. After a certain period, the motor stops providing power, and the inner tub continues to rotate due to inertia. A non-inertial spin-drying node refers to the stage where the washing machine controls the inner tub to rotate, increasing its speed to a preset speed and maintaining it for a preset duration. An inertial spin-drying node refers to the stage where the washing machine's motor does not provide power during the spin-drying process, and the inner tub relies on inertia to spin-dry.

[0056] Step S103: When the washing machine confirms that it is currently in the spin cycle, it determines the current spin cycle stage and performs corresponding processing according to the spin cycle stage, including water storage rinsing and spray rinsing.

[0057] It should be noted that if the washing machine detects an imbalance problem at the spin cycle node, it will determine the current spin cycle stage and perform water storage treatment or spray rinsing according to the current spin cycle stage to achieve precise control of spin drying and avoid imbalance problems in the inner drum.

[0058] The spin-drying stage refers to the spin-drying node in the washing process of a washing machine, which is divided into the non-final spin-drying stage after washing, the non-final spin-drying stage after rinsing, and the final spin-drying stage.

[0059] Water-filled rinsing refers to the washing machine filling its inner drum with a certain volume of water before washing. Spray rinsing refers to the washing machine filling with water and washing simultaneously according to a preset time.

[0060] In this embodiment, when the washing machine detects that it has completed washing or is in the rinsing and spin-drying process, if an imbalance is confirmed in the inner drum, it determines whether the current spin-drying program corresponds to an inertial spin-drying node or a non-inertial spin-drying node. If the washing machine confirms that it is currently in an inertial spin-drying node, it determines the current inertial spin-drying stage and performs corresponding processing based on the inertial spin-drying stage to avoid an imbalance in the inner drum. Compared to the prior art, where the handling method for an imbalance in the inner drum during the spin-drying process is relatively simple and results in poor drying performance due to the imbalance, this application employs corresponding processing methods for different inertial spin-drying stages, thus avoiding an imbalance in the inner drum while still effectively spin-drying the clothes.

[0061] Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart of a second embodiment of a dehydration control method provided in this application. Figure 2 As shown, based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides a feasible method for dehydration control to achieve faster dehydration of clothing. This dehydration control method includes the following steps:

[0062] Step S201: The washing machine confirms that it is currently in the spin cycle node and determines that the current spin cycle stage of the washing machine is the non-final spin-drying stage after washing.

[0063] It should be noted that the washing machine confirms that the current spin cycle is an inertial spin cycle, and the washing machine determines that the current inertial stage is a non-final spin cycle after washing. The non-final spin cycle refers to spin cycle after washing or spin cycle after the intermediate rinsing process.

[0064] Step S202: The washing machine determines that the load of clothes in the drum is greater than a preset threshold.

[0065] It should be noted that during the inertial spin-drying stage after washing, an imbalance occurs in the inner drum. This imbalance is due to uneven distribution of clothes and insufficient dehydration. Therefore, the washing machine needs to select the rinsing mode based on the weight of the clothes in the drum. Thus, the washing machine weighs the clothes in the inner drum to determine the load capacity and ensures that this load capacity is greater than the preset load capacity.

[0066] Step S203: The washing machine performs a water-filled rinsing process.

[0067] In this embodiment, when the washing machine confirms that the load is greater than the preset load, it stops the spin-drying process and then performs a water-filling rinse. In this embodiment, when the washing machine detects an imbalance in the inner drum, firstly, it confirms that it is an inertial spin-drying stage, and that this inertial spin-drying stage is a non-final spin-drying stage after washing. Secondly, the washing machine obtains the load of the clothes in the drum and confirms that this load is greater than the preset load. Finally, the washing machine performs a water-filling rinse. In this embodiment, when an imbalance occurs at the inertial spin-drying stage (non-final spin-drying stage), the washing machine stops the spin-drying process after determining that the load of the clothes in the drum is greater than the preset load, and then performs a water-filling rinse. This prevents the inner drum from becoming unbalanced, speeds up the washing process, and improves the user experience.

[0068] Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart of a third embodiment of a dehydration control method provided in this application. Figure 3 As shown, based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides a feasible method for dehydration control. This dehydration control method includes the following steps:

[0069] Step S301: The washing machine confirms that it is currently in the spin cycle node and determines that the current spin cycle stage of the washing machine is the non-final spin-drying stage after washing.

[0070] It should be noted that the washing machine confirms that the current spin cycle is an inertial spin cycle, and the washing machine determines that the current inertial stage is a non-final spin cycle after washing. The non-final spin cycle refers to spin cycle after washing or spin cycle after the intermediate rinsing process.

[0071] Step S302: The washing machine determines that the load of clothes in the drum is less than a preset threshold.

[0072] It should be noted that during the final spin-drying stage after washing, an imbalance occurs in the inner drum due to uneven distribution of clothes and insufficient dehydration. Therefore, the washing machine needs to select the rinsing mode based on the weight of the clothes in the drum. Thus, the washing machine weighs the clothes in the inner drum to determine the load capacity and confirms that this load capacity is less than the preset load capacity.

[0073] Step S303: The washing machine performs a spray rinsing process.

[0074] In this embodiment, when the washing machine confirms that the load is less than the preset load, it stops the spin-drying process and then performs a spray rinse. The spray rinse refers to the washing machine performing washing simultaneously with water intake according to a preset time.

[0075] In this embodiment, when the washing machine detects an imbalance in the inner drum, it first confirms that it is an inertial spin-drying stage, specifically a non-final spin-drying stage after washing. Secondly, the washing machine determines the load of the clothes inside the drum and confirms that this load is less than a preset load. Finally, the washing machine performs a spray rinsing operation. In this embodiment, when an imbalance occurs at the inertial spin-drying stage (non-final spin-drying stage), the washing machine stops the spin-drying process after determining that the load of the clothes inside the drum is less than a preset load, and then performs a spray rinsing operation. This prevents the inner drum from becoming unbalanced, speeds up the washing process, and improves the user experience.

[0076] Figure 4 A schematic flowchart of a dehydration control method according to Embodiment 4 provided in this application; as shown Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides a feasible method for dehydration control. This dehydration control method includes the following steps:

[0077] S401: The washing machine confirms that it is currently in the spin cycle state.

[0078] It should be noted that after the washing machine detects an imbalance in the inner drum, it confirms that the current state is the inertial spin-off node.

[0079] S402: Determine that the current spin-drying stage of the washing machine is the non-final spin-drying stage after rinsing.

[0080] In this embodiment, after the washing machine detects an imbalance problem in the inner tub and confirms that it is a spin-drying node, it also confirms that the current spin-drying stage is a non-final dehydration stage after rinsing.

[0081] S403: The washing machine performs a water-filled rinsing process.

[0082] It should be noted that if the washing machine detects an imbalance during the spin cycle (not the final spin cycle after rinsing), it will stop the spin cycle and perform a water-filled rinse to prevent the inner drum from becoming unbalanced.

[0083] In this embodiment, when the inner drum of the washing machine becomes unbalanced, the washing machine first identifies it as an inertial spin-drying stage. Secondly, the washing machine determines that this inertial spin-drying stage is a non-final spin-drying stage after rinsing. Finally, the washing machine performs a water-filling rinse operation. In this embodiment, when an imbalance occurs during the inertial spin-drying stage (a non-final spin-drying stage after rinsing), the washing machine stops the spin-drying process and then performs a water-filling rinse, thus preventing the inner drum from becoming unbalanced and simultaneously speeding up the washing process, improving the user experience.

[0084] Figure 5 A schematic flowchart of Embodiment 5 of a dehydration control method provided in this application; as shown Figure 5 As shown, based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides a feasible method for dehydration control. This dehydration control method includes the following steps:

[0085] S501: The washing machine confirms that it is currently in the spin cycle state.

[0086] In this embodiment, the washing machine detects an imbalance problem in the inner tub and confirms that the collision corresponds to the inertial shedding node.

[0087] S502: Determine that the current spin-drying stage of the washing machine is the final spin-drying stage.

[0088] It should be noted that the washing machine detected an imbalance during the initial spin cycle and determined that this initial spin cycle was the final dehydration stage.

[0089] S503: The washing machine has stopped the spin cycle.

[0090] It should be noted that if the washing machine detects an imbalance during the inertial spin-drying stage of the final spin-drying phase, it will stop the spin-drying process to avoid imbalance issues within the inner drum. Since the clothes are already fully dehydrated during the non-inertial spin-drying stage of the final spin-drying phase, stopping the spin-drying process after an imbalance occurs will not affect the quality of the dehydrated clothes.

[0091] In this embodiment, firstly, the washing machine detects an imbalance in the inner tub and confirms that the imbalance corresponds to the inertial spin-drying stage. Secondly, it determines that the current inertial spin-drying stage is the final spin-drying stage. Finally, the washing machine stops the spin-drying process to avoid further imbalance in the inner tub. This embodiment stops the spin-drying process when an imbalance occurs during the inertial spin-drying stage of the final spin-drying stage, thus preventing imbalance in the inner tub and accelerating the washing process, thereby improving the user experience.

[0092] Figure 6 A schematic flowchart of Embodiment Six of a dehydration control method provided in this application; as shown Figure 6 As shown, based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides a feasible method for dehydration control. This dehydration control method includes the following steps:

[0093] Step S601: The washing machine determines that the inner tub is unbalanced and is at a non-inertial spin-off node.

[0094] After the washing machine determines that the inner tub is unbalanced, it determines the non-inertial detachment node corresponding to the time of the unbalance.

[0095] Step S602: The washing machine determines that the load of clothes in the drum is greater than a preset threshold.

[0096] It should be noted that when the washing machine experiences an imbalance in the inner drum at a non-inertial spin cycle, this imbalance is due to uneven distribution of clothes. Therefore, the washing machine needs to determine a method to distribute the clothes evenly based on their weight. Thus, the washing machine weighs the clothes in the inner drum to determine the load capacity and ensures that this load capacity is greater than the preset load capacity.

[0097] Step S603: The washing machine undergoes a waterless correction process.

[0098] It should be noted that when the washing machine detects a load exceeding the preset load, it stops spinning to perform a waterless correction process. After the correction is complete, the spinning process restarts to prevent imbalance in the inner drum. Waterless correction refers to the washing machine using a preset program to control the pulsator's rotation, ensuring even distribution of clothes.

[0099] In this embodiment, when the washing machine determines that the inner drum is unbalanced and is at a non-inertial spin-drying node, it first determines that the load of clothes in the drum is greater than a preset threshold. Then, the washing machine performs a waterless correction process according to a preset program, and then restarts the spin-drying process. In this embodiment, when an imbalance occurs at a non-inertial spin-drying node, if the load of clothes in the drum is greater than a preset threshold, a waterless correction is performed, and then the spin-drying process is restarted to ensure that the clothes are evenly distributed before continuing to spin-dry, thereby achieving the desired dehydration.

[0100] Figure 7 A schematic flowchart of Embodiment Seven of a dehydration control method provided in this application; as shown Figure 7 As shown, based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides a feasible method for dehydration control. This dehydration control method includes the following steps:

[0101] Step S701: The washing machine determines that the inner tub is unbalanced and is at a non-inertial spin node.

[0102] After the washing machine determines that the inner tub is unbalanced, it determines the non-inertial detachment node corresponding to the time of the unbalance.

[0103] Step S702: The washing machine determines that the load of clothes in the drum is less than a preset threshold.

[0104] It should be noted that when the washing machine experiences an imbalance in the inner drum at a non-inertial spin cycle, this imbalance is due to uneven distribution of clothes. Therefore, the washing machine needs to determine a method to distribute the clothes evenly based on their weight. Thus, the washing machine weighs the clothes in the inner drum to determine the load capacity and ensures that this load capacity is less than the preset load capacity.

[0105] Step S703: A small amount of water enters the washing machine for correction.

[0106] It should be noted that when the washing machine detects that the load is less than the preset load, it stops spinning and injects a certain volume of water into the drum according to the preset program. Then it performs a correction process. After the correction is completed, it restarts the spinning process to avoid imbalance problems in the inner drum.

[0107] In this embodiment, when the washing machine determines that the inner drum is unbalanced and is at a non-inertial spin-drying node, it first determines that the load of clothes in the drum is less than a preset threshold. Then, the washing machine adds a small amount of water according to a preset program to correct the imbalance, and then restarts the spin-drying process. In this embodiment, when an imbalance occurs at a non-inertial spin-drying node, if the load of clothes in the drum is less than a preset threshold, a small amount of water is added to correct the imbalance, and then the spin-drying process is restarted to ensure that the clothes are evenly distributed before continuing to spin-dry, thereby achieving the desired dehydration.

[0108] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of a washing machine according to a first embodiment of the present application; the washing machine spin-drying control device includes: an acquisition module 801 and a processing module 802;

[0109] The acquisition module 801 is used to acquire the washing stage of the washing machine.

[0110] Processing module 802 is used to determine whether the washing machine is currently in an inertial spin-off node or a non-inertial spin-off node when the inner tub is confirmed to be unbalanced.

[0111] The processing module 802 is also used to determine the current spin-out stage of the washing machine when it is confirmed that the washing machine is currently in the spin-out node, and to perform corresponding processing according to the spin-out stage to avoid imbalance problems of the inner tub.
