Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of household appliances, and particularly relates to a control method of a double washing machine, an appliance and the double washing machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards and the rapid development of intelligent appliances, the sweeper gradually enters every household. The intelligent sweeper needs a dedicated water inlet pipe for washing the dirt and dust in the cavity of the sweeper, and a dedicated water outlet pipe for discharging the sewage. At present, a household washing machine also needs a water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe to realize the water inlet and outlet functions of washing, rinsing and dehydration. However, the use space in the family is limited. If the sweeper and the washing machine use independent water inlet pipes and water outlet pipes and work in different independent spaces, it will cause excessive waterway laying in the family and increase the floor area of the appliances, thereby reducing the user's satisfaction.

[0003] In the prior art, the washing machine and the sweeper share the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe and share a floor space, which is beneficial to save the floor space and realize the waterway sharing of the two. However, in the actual application process, the sweeper and the washing machine work independently. Since the two share a space, when the sweeper and the washing machine have working requirements at the same time, the washing machine is easy to collide with the sweeper to produce noise, affecting the user's experience.

[0059] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure, the solutions disclosed herein will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0060] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this disclosure, but this disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some, and not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0061] In practical applications, the floor cleaner and the clothing handling equipment work independently. However, since they share a space, when both are in operation, the clothing handling equipment is prone to colliding with the floor cleaner, generating noise and affecting the user experience.

[0062] To address the technical problems existing in related technologies, this disclosure provides an operation control method for a dual-wash machine. By acquiring the operating status of the clothing handling equipment, the method controls the floor cleaner to either leave or enter the floor cleaner base station, which is located in the space below the clothing handling equipment. This allows for signal exchange between the floor cleaner and the clothing handling equipment. When the operating status of the clothing handling equipment indicates that the floor cleaner needs to be kept outside the floor cleaner base station to avoid noise from collisions, the method controls the floor cleaner to either prevent it from entering or leaving the base station. This effectively avoids the problem of noise caused by collisions between multiple appliances located in the same space, improving the intelligence level of the dual-wash machine's operation.

[0063] The methods, electrical appliances, and double-clothing machines provided in the embodiments of this disclosure will be described by way of example below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0064] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a dual-wash machine provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. This method is applicable to application scenarios requiring control of a dual-wash machine. This method can be executed by a control device for the dual-wash machine provided in this embodiment, such as a controller in a garment processing device. This control device can be implemented using software and / or hardware. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0065] S101. Obtain the working status of the garment processing equipment.

[0066] Specifically, the working status of the garment processing equipment itself is obtained. The working status of the garment processing equipment includes, but is not limited to, power off, standby, paused, running, running finished, and fault status. The controller in the garment processing equipment can directly obtain the working status of the garment processing equipment, and the floor cleaner can obtain the working status of the garment processing equipment through communication with the garment processing equipment.

[0067] S102. Control whether the ground cleaner is located at the ground cleaner base station according to the working status of the clothing processing equipment; wherein, the ground cleaner base station is located in the space below the clothing processing equipment.

[0068] Specifically, whether the floor cleaner is located within the floor cleaner base station can be controlled based on the operating status of the clothing handling device. That is, the floor cleaner can be controlled to leave the floor cleaner base station or remain within it, or it can be controlled to enter or be prevented from entering the base station, depending on the operating status of the clothing handling device. When the operating status of the clothing handling device determines that the floor cleaner cannot be located within the base station, the floor cleaner is controlled to leave or be prevented from entering. When the operating status of the clothing handling device determines that the floor cleaner can be located within the base station, the floor cleaner is controlled to enter or remain within it. For example, the clothing handling device may be, but is not limited to, a washing machine, and the floor cleaner may be, but is not limited to, a sweeper.

[0069] For example, when the ground cleaner is located at the ground cleaner base station, and the clothing handling device needs to wash clothes, if the ground cleaner remains in the base station, noise will be generated due to the clothing handling device colliding with the ground cleaner during the washing process, caused by vibrations such as those from the spin-drying process. To eliminate the noise problem caused by the collision between the clothing handling device and the ground cleaner, when the clothing handling device is in a preset state, such as during the washing process, the clothing handling device can control the ground cleaner to temporarily leave the ground cleaner base station or prevent the ground cleaner from entering the ground cleaner base station. This ensures that the ground cleaner and the clothing handling device are no longer in the same space, avoiding the noise problem caused by the collision between the clothing handling device and the ground cleaner during the washing process, such as vibrations from the spin-drying process. When the clothing handling device ends the preset state, such as after finishing washing the clothes, the clothing handling device can control the ground cleaner to return to the ground cleaner base station. At this time, the clothing handling device is no longer in operation, and the problem of noise generated by the collision between the clothing handling device and the ground cleaner will not occur. Therefore, the control method for the dual washing machine provided in this embodiment allows for signal exchange between the floor cleaner and the clothing processing equipment. When it is determined based on the working status of the clothing processing equipment that the floor cleaner needs to be kept outside the floor cleaner base station to avoid noise caused by collision between the clothing processing equipment and the floor cleaner, the floor cleaner is controlled to prevent it from entering or leaving the floor cleaner base station. This effectively avoids the problem of noise caused by collision between multiple electrical appliances located in the same space and improves the intelligence level of the dual washing machine.

[0070] In some embodiments, when the ground cleaner is originally located outside the base station, the base station entry request of the ground cleaner is first obtained, and then the working status of the clothing processing equipment is used to determine whether to control the ground cleaner to enter the base station.

[0071] Specifically, when a ground cleaner needs to enter the ground cleaner base station from outside, it needs to send a ground cleaner base station entry request to the clothing handling device. The clothing handling device then receives this entry request. Alternatively, the ground cleaner can send the entry request to the ground cleaner base station, which then forwards it to the clothing handling device, which in turn receives the entry request. After receiving the entry request, the clothing handling device obtains its own operating status. This operating status can include a preset status and a non-preset status. The preset status corresponds to a clothing handling device status where it determines that ground cleaners should be prevented from entering the base station, while the non-preset status corresponds to a clothing handling device status where it determines that ground cleaners should be allowed to enter the ground cleaner base station. When the clothing processing device is determined to be in a preset state based on its operating status, it determines that the ground cleaner is not allowed to enter the ground cleaner base station. In other words, the clothing processing device controls ground cleaners located outside the base station to be prohibited from entering. When the clothing processing device is determined to be in a non-preset state based on its operating status, it allows ground cleaners to enter the ground cleaner base station. That is, the clothing processing device can control ground cleaners located outside the base station to enter. It should be noted that the base station entry request can be a request sent by the ground cleaner, or a request sent by the clothing processing device or the base station to the ground cleaner, such as sending a recall command to the ground cleaner. This disclosure does not specifically limit this.

[0072] Therefore, when a ground cleaner located outside the ground cleaner base station requests to enter the base station, the clothing handling device needs to determine its own operating status. If the operating status of the clothing handling device is determined to be a preset state, the ground cleaner is prohibited from entering the base station to avoid noise caused by collisions between the clothing handling device and the ground cleaner. If the operating status of the clothing handling device is determined to be a non-preset state, the ground cleaner is allowed to enter the base station, and even if the ground cleaner enters the base station, there will be no noise caused by collisions between the clothing handling device and the ground cleaner. For example, the ground cleaner can continuously send base station entry requests to the clothing handling device, or it can re-acquire the base station entry request from the ground cleaner after the clothing handling device's status is updated.

[0073] In some embodiments, when the ground cleaner is originally located inside the base station, the system determines whether to control the ground cleaner to leave the base station based on the operating status of the clothing handling equipment.

[0074] Specifically, when the floor cleaner is currently within the floor cleaner base station, the operating status of the clothing handling device is obtained. This operating status may include a preset status, which corresponds to the state where it is determined that the floor cleaner needs to be moved away from the floor cleaner base station. When the operating status of the clothing handling device indicates that it is in the preset status, the clothing handling device controls the floor cleaner to move away from the floor cleaner base station, avoiding the noise problem caused by collisions between the clothing handling device and the floor cleaner when in the preset status. When the operating status of the clothing handling device indicates that it is in a non-preset status, the clothing handling device can control the floor cleaner to remain within the floor cleaner base station, ensuring that even when the floor cleaner is within the base station, there will be no noise problem caused by collisions between the clothing handling device and the floor cleaner.

[0075] For example, the floor cleaner is currently located within a base station. At this time, a clothing handling device needs to wash clothes. To prevent noise caused by collisions between the clothing handling device and the floor cleaner during the washing process, the clothing handling device sends a message prohibiting the floor cleaner from remaining within the base station and controls the floor cleaner to leave the base station. Once the floor cleaner leaves the base station, the floor cleaner and the clothing handling device are no longer in the same space, thus resolving the problem of noise caused by collisions between the clothing handling device and the floor cleaner due to vibrations during the washing process. Therefore, controlling the floor cleaner to leave the base station when the clothing handling device is in a preset state can prevent noise caused by collisions between the clothing handling device and the floor cleaner due to vibrations.

[0076] In some embodiments, the preset state is a preset operating state or a preset state where the vibration level of the clothing processing device is greater than a preset vibration level. The preset state is a dehydration state. Controlling whether the floor cleaner is located at the floor cleaner base station based on the operating state of the clothing processing device includes: when the clothing processing device is in the dehydration state, controlling the floor cleaner to be located outside the floor cleaner base station; when the clothing processing device finishes the dehydration state, controlling the floor cleaner to enter the floor cleaner base station.

[0077] Specifically, the preset operating states of the garment processing equipment include, but are not limited to, the garment processing equipment being in the dehydration stage, the drainage stage, or the pre-wash weighing stage. The vibration level of the garment processing equipment can be determined by acquiring the current operating stage. Specifically, the vibration level of the garment processing equipment is related to its current operating stage. For example, when the garment processing equipment is in the dehydration stage, the inner drum rotates at a higher speed, resulting in greater vibration. When the garment processing equipment is in the pre-wash weighing stage, the inner drum rotates to acquire the weight of the clothes to be washed through rotational torque; this rotation may also cause greater vibration. When the garment processing equipment is in the drainage stage, dehydration is generally performed immediately after drainage; similarly, the inner drum rotates at a higher speed, resulting in greater vibration. In the aforementioned cases, it can be determined that the current vibration level of the garment processing equipment is greater than the preset vibration level.

[0078] In some embodiments, the preset state is a preset time range before entering the dehydration state, and controlling whether the floor cleaner is located at the floor cleaner base station according to the working state of the clothing processing device includes: when the clothing processing device is within the preset time range before entering the dehydration state, controlling the floor cleaner to be located outside the floor cleaner base station.

[0079] Specifically, when the garment processing equipment is within a preset time range before entering the dehydration state, such as within two minutes before entering the dehydration state, it can be determined that the inner drum rotation speed of the garment processing equipment is relatively high, and the vibration degree of the garment processing equipment is relatively large. In the aforementioned case, it can be determined that the current vibration degree of the garment processing equipment is greater than the preset vibration degree. If the floor cleaner is located inside the base station, it will cause the garment processing equipment and the floor cleaner to collide with each other and generate noise. At this time, the floor cleaner can be controlled to be located outside the base station to effectively avoid the problem of noise generated by the collision between the garment processing equipment and the floor cleaner caused by the floor cleaner being located inside the base station. This embodiment of the disclosure does not specifically limit the preset time range, and it can be set according to the actual working parameters of the garment processing equipment.

[0080] In some embodiments, a vibration sensor can be installed within the garment processing equipment to obtain the vibration level of the garment processing equipment. When the parameter detected by the vibration sensor is greater than a preset parameter, it can be determined that the current vibration level of the garment processing equipment is greater than the preset vibration level. In other embodiments, the vibration level of the garment processing equipment can also be obtained through other technical means well known to those skilled in the art, and this disclosure does not specifically limit these methods.

[0081] Based on this, a preset vibration level can be set. By comparing the vibration level of the clothing processing equipment with the preset vibration level, it can be determined whether the floor cleaner is allowed to be inside the base station. Specifically, when the vibration level of the clothing processing equipment is greater than the preset vibration level, the clothing processing equipment controls the floor cleaner to be prohibited from being inside the base station to avoid noise caused by collisions between the clothing processing equipment and the floor cleaner; when the vibration level of the clothing processing equipment is less than or equal to the preset vibration level, the clothing processing equipment controls the floor cleaner to be inside the base station, and the floor cleaner can perform corresponding operations within the base station. For example, when the clothing processing equipment is in the dehydration stage, the floor cleaner is controlled to be outside the base station; after the clothing processing equipment finishes the dehydration stage, the floor cleaner is controlled to return to the base station to avoid noise caused by collisions between the clothing processing equipment and the floor cleaner.

[0082] It should be noted that the preset vibration level can be adaptively set according to the specific working parameters of the clothing handling equipment and the floor cleaner, and this embodiment does not impose any specific limitations on it.

[0083] It should be noted that the operation of the garment processing equipment includes multiple dehydration stages. If the garment processing equipment does not perform dehydration at a certain moment, the ground cleaner can be controlled to enter the base station. However, during the next dehydration stage, the ground cleaner needs to be controlled to leave the base station. To avoid the garment processing equipment frequently controlling the ground cleaner to leave or enter the base station during operation, it is preferable to keep the ground cleaner outside the base station as long as the garment processing equipment is in operation.

[0084] In some embodiments, controlling whether the floor cleaner is located at the floor cleaner base station according to the working state of the clothing processing device includes: controlling the floor cleaner to be located at the floor cleaner base station when the clothing processing device is in any of the following states: power off, standby, paused, fault, or terminated operation.

[0085] For example, when the ground cleaner is originally located outside the base station, the ground cleaner sends a base station entry request to the clothing handling device. When the clothing handling device is in a powered-off state, the clothing handling device sends an permission message and controls the ground cleaner to enter the ground cleaner base station; when the clothing handling device is in a standby state, the clothing handling device sends an permission message and controls the ground cleaner to enter the ground cleaner base station; when the clothing handling device is in a paused state, the clothing handling device sends an permission message and controls the ground cleaner to enter the ground cleaner base station; when the clothing handling device is in a completed state, the clothing handling device sends an permission message and controls the ground cleaner to enter the ground cleaner base station; when the clothing handling device is in a running state, the clothing handling device sends a disallowed message, and the ground cleaner cannot enter the ground cleaner base station; when the clothing handling device finishes running, the clothing handling device sends an permission message and controls the ground cleaner to enter the ground cleaner base station; when the clothing handling device is in a fault state, the clothing handling device sends an permission message and controls the ground cleaner to enter the ground cleaner base station.

[0086] For example, when the ground cleaner is originally located within the base station, if the clothing handling device is in a powered-off state, the clothing handling device does not send a control signal to the ground cleaner, and the ground cleaner remains within the ground cleaner base station; if the clothing handling device is in a standby state, the clothing handling device does not send a control signal to the ground cleaner, and the ground cleaner remains within the ground cleaner base station; if the clothing handling device is in a paused state, the clothing handling device does not send a control signal to the ground cleaner, and the ground cleaner remains within the ground cleaner base station; if the clothing handling device is in a completed state, the clothing handling device does not send a control signal to the ground cleaner, and the ground cleaner remains within the ground cleaner base station; if the clothing handling device is in a running state, the clothing handling device sends a prohibition signal and controls the ground cleaner to leave the ground cleaner base station; if the clothing handling device is in a fault state, the clothing handling device does not send a control signal to the ground cleaner, and the ground cleaner remains within the ground cleaner base station.

[0087] The control method for a dual-wash machine provided in this disclosure acquires the operating status of the clothing handling equipment and then controls the floor cleaner to move away from or into the floor cleaner base station based on that status. The floor cleaner base station is located in the space below the clothing handling equipment. This allows for signal exchange between the floor cleaner and the clothing handling equipment. When the operating status of the clothing handling equipment determines that the floor cleaner needs to be kept outside the floor cleaner base station to avoid noise from collisions, the floor cleaner is controlled to either prevent entering or leaving the base station. This effectively avoids the problem of noise from collisions between multiple appliances located in the same space, improving the intelligence level of the dual-wash machine's operation.

[0088] Based on the same inventive concept, this disclosure also provides a control device for a dual washing machine. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a control device for a dual-wash machine provided in an embodiment of this disclosure, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the device includes:

[0089] Status acquisition module 21 is used to acquire the working status of the garment processing equipment;

[0090] Control module 22 is used to control whether the ground cleaner is located at the ground cleaner base station according to the working status of the clothing processing equipment; wherein, the ground cleaner base station is located in the space below the clothing processing equipment.

[0091] This disclosure also provides a storage medium, such as a computer-readable storage medium, which stores a program or instructions that, when executed by a computer, are used to perform a control method for a dual-washer. Therefore, this storage medium has the beneficial effects described in the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0092] In some embodiments, the computer-executable instructions, when executed by a computer processor, can also be used to execute the technical solution of the control method for the dual washing machine provided in any embodiment of this disclosure.

[0093] This disclosure also provides another method for controlling a dual-wash machine. Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating another control method for a dual-wash machine provided in this embodiment of the disclosure. This method is applicable to application scenarios requiring control of a dual-wash machine. This method can be executed by the control device for the dual-wash machine provided in this embodiment of the disclosure, for example, by the controller in a floor cleaner. This control device for the dual-wash machine can be implemented using software and / or hardware. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0094] S301. Obtain the ground cleaner base station control signal; wherein, the ground cleaner base station control signal is a signal generated based on the working status of the clothing processing equipment.

[0095] Specifically, based on the operating status of the clothing processing equipment, the clothing processing equipment generates a corresponding control signal for the ground cleaner base station and sends the control signal to the ground cleaner; correspondingly, the ground cleaner receives the control signal. The operating status of the clothing processing equipment includes, but is not limited to, power off, standby, paused, running, running finished, and fault status. The controller in the clothing processing equipment can directly obtain the operating status of the clothing processing equipment, and the ground cleaner can obtain the operating status of the clothing processing equipment through communication with it.

[0096] S302. Control whether the ground cleaner is located at the ground cleaner base station according to the ground cleaner base station control signal; wherein, the ground cleaner base station is located in the space below the clothing processing equipment.

[0097] Specifically, the ground cleaner base station control signal can include signals controlling the ground cleaner's location outside the base station and signals controlling the ground cleaner's location inside the base station. Whether the ground cleaner is within the ground cleaner base station can be controlled based on the operating status of the clothing handling equipment. That is, based on the operating status of the clothing handling equipment, the ground cleaner can be controlled to leave the ground cleaner base station, or kept inside the ground cleaner base station; or, based on the operating status of the clothing handling equipment, the ground cleaner can be controlled to enter the ground cleaner base station, or prevented from entering the ground cleaner base station. When it is determined based on the operating status of the clothing handling equipment that the ground cleaner cannot be within the ground cleaner base station, the ground cleaner base station signal is adjusted to control the ground cleaner to leave the ground cleaner base station or prevent the ground cleaner from entering the ground cleaner base station. When it is determined based on the operating status of the clothing handling equipment that the ground cleaner can be within the ground cleaner base station, the ground cleaner base station control signal is adjusted to control the ground cleaner to enter the ground cleaner base station or maintain its position within the ground cleaner base station.

[0098] For example, when the ground cleaner is located at the ground cleaner base station, and the clothing handling device needs to wash clothes, if the ground cleaner remains in the base station, noise will be generated due to the clothing handling device colliding with the ground cleaner during the washing process, caused by vibrations such as those from the spin-drying process. To eliminate the noise problem caused by the collision between the clothing handling device and the ground cleaner, when the clothing handling device is in a preset state, such as during the washing process, the clothing handling device can control the ground cleaner to temporarily leave the ground cleaner base station or prevent the ground cleaner from entering the ground cleaner base station. This ensures that the ground cleaner and the clothing handling device are no longer in the same space, avoiding the noise problem caused by the collision between the clothing handling device and the ground cleaner during the washing process, such as vibrations from the spin-drying process. When the clothing handling device ends the preset state, such as after finishing washing the clothes, the clothing handling device can control the ground cleaner to return to the ground cleaner base station. At this time, the clothing handling device is no longer in operation, and the problem of noise generated by the collision between the clothing handling device and the ground cleaner will not occur.

[0099] Therefore, the control method for the dual washing machine provided in this embodiment allows for signal exchange between the floor cleaner and the clothing processing equipment. When it is determined based on the working status of the clothing processing equipment that the floor cleaner needs to be kept outside the floor cleaner base station to avoid noise caused by collision between the clothing processing equipment and the floor cleaner, the floor cleaner is controlled to prevent it from entering or leaving the floor cleaner base station. This effectively avoids the problem of noise caused by collision between multiple electrical appliances located in the same space and improves the intelligence level of the dual washing machine.

[0100] In some embodiments, when the ground cleaner is originally located outside the base station, the ground cleaner first sends a base station access request to the clothing handling device, and then determines whether to control the ground cleaner to enter the base station based on the ground cleaner base station control signal.

[0101] Specifically, when a ground cleaner needs to enter the ground cleaner base station from outside, the ground cleaner needs to send a base station entry request to the clothing handling device. Alternatively, the ground cleaner can send the base station entry request to the ground cleaner base station, which then forwards the request to the clothing handling device. Upon receiving the base station entry request, the clothing handling device generates a corresponding ground cleaner base station control signal based on its own operating status. This control signal allows the device to determine its operating status. The working state of the clothing processing equipment can include a preset state and a non-preset state. When the working state of the clothing processing equipment is determined to be in the preset state based on the control signal of the ground cleaner base station, the ground cleaner base station control signal generated by the clothing processing equipment is a signal that controls the ground cleaner to be prohibited from entering the base station. Accordingly, the ground cleaner obtains the signal that controls the ground cleaner to be prohibited from entering the base station and controls the ground cleaner to be prohibited from entering the ground cleaner base station. When the working state of the clothing processing equipment is determined to be in the non-preset state based on the control signal of the ground cleaner base station, the ground cleaner base station control signal generated by the clothing processing equipment is a signal that controls the ground cleaner to enter the base station. Accordingly, the ground cleaner obtains the signal that controls the ground cleaner to enter the base station and controls the ground cleaner to enter the ground cleaner base station.

[0102] Therefore, when a ground cleaner located outside the ground cleaner base station requests to enter the base station, the clothing handling device needs to determine its own operating status. If the operating status of the clothing handling device is determined to be a preset state, the ground cleaner is prohibited from entering the base station to avoid noise caused by collisions between the clothing handling device and the ground cleaner. If the operating status of the clothing handling device is determined to be a non-preset state, the ground cleaner is allowed to enter the base station, and even if the ground cleaner enters the base station, there will be no noise caused by collisions between the clothing handling device and the ground cleaner. For example, the ground cleaner can continuously send base station entry requests to the clothing handling device, or it can re-acquire the base station entry request from the ground cleaner after the clothing handling device's status is updated.

[0103] In some embodiments, when the ground cleaner is originally located inside the base station, the decision to control the ground cleaner to leave the base station is made based on the ground cleaner base station control signal.

[0104] Specifically, when the ground cleaner is currently located within the ground cleaner base station, the clothing handling device acquires its own operating status and generates a corresponding ground cleaner base station control signal. The operating status of the clothing handling device can then be determined based on this control signal. The operating status of the clothing handling device can include a preset state and a non-preset state. When the operating status of the clothing handling device is determined to be a preset state based on the ground cleaner base station control signal, the ground cleaner base station control signal generated by the clothing handling device is a signal to control the ground cleaner to leave the base station. Accordingly, the ground cleaner acquires the signal to leave the base station and controls itself to leave. Therefore, controlling the ground cleaner to leave the base station when the clothing handling device is in the preset state avoids the problem of noise caused by collisions between the clothing handling device and the ground cleaner due to vibrations. In some embodiments, when the ground cleaner is located within the ground cleaner base station and the clothing handling device is in a non-preset state, there is no need to control the ground cleaner to leave the base; even if the ground cleaner is within the ground cleaner base station, there will be no problem of collisions between the clothing handling device and the ground cleaner, thus avoiding noise.

[0105] In some embodiments, the preset state is a preset operating state or a preset state where the vibration level of the clothing processing device is greater than a preset vibration level. The preset state is a dehydration state, and controlling whether the floor cleaner is located at the floor cleaner base station according to the floor cleaner base station control signal includes: when the floor cleaner base station control signal determines that the clothing processing device is in a dehydration state, controlling the floor cleaner to be located outside the floor cleaner base station; when the floor cleaner base station control signal determines that the clothing processing device has ended the dehydration state, controlling the floor cleaner to enter the floor cleaner base station.

[0106] Specifically, the preset operating states of the garment processing equipment include, but are not limited to, the garment processing equipment being in the dehydration stage, the drainage stage, or the pre-wash weighing stage. The vibration level of the garment processing equipment can be determined by acquiring the current operating stage. Specifically, the vibration level of the garment processing equipment is related to its current operating stage. For example, when the garment processing equipment is in the dehydration stage, the inner drum rotates at a higher speed, resulting in greater vibration. When the garment processing equipment is in the pre-wash weighing stage, the inner drum rotates to acquire the weight of the clothes to be washed through rotational torque; this rotation may also cause greater vibration. When the garment processing equipment is in the drainage stage, dehydration is generally performed immediately after drainage; similarly, the inner drum rotates at a higher speed, resulting in greater vibration. In the aforementioned cases, it can be determined that the current vibration level of the garment processing equipment is greater than the preset vibration level.

[0107] In some embodiments, the preset state is a preset time range before entering the dehydration state, and controlling whether the floor cleaner is located at the floor cleaner base station according to the floor cleaner base station control signal includes: when it is determined from the floor cleaner base station control signal that the clothing processing device is within the preset time range before entering the dehydration state, controlling the floor cleaner to be located outside the floor cleaner base station.

[0108] Specifically, when the control signal from the ground cleaner base station indicates that the clothing processing device is within a preset time range before entering the dehydration state (e.g., two minutes before entering the dehydration state), it can be determined that the inner drum rotation speed of the clothing processing device is high and the vibration level is high. In this case, the vibration level of the clothing processing device is greater than the preset vibration level. If the ground cleaner is located inside the base station, it may cause the clothing processing device to collide with the ground cleaner, generating noise. In this case, the ground cleaner can be controlled to be located outside the ground cleaner base station to effectively avoid the problem of noise caused by the collision between the clothing processing device and the ground cleaner due to the ground cleaner being located inside the base station. This embodiment of the disclosure does not specifically limit the preset time range, which can be set according to the actual working parameters of the clothing processing device.

[0109] In some embodiments, a vibration sensor can be installed within the garment processing equipment to obtain the vibration level of the garment processing equipment. When the parameter detected by the vibration sensor is greater than a preset parameter, it can be determined that the current vibration level of the garment processing equipment is greater than the preset vibration level. In other embodiments, the vibration level of the garment processing equipment can also be obtained through other technical means well known to those skilled in the art, and this disclosure does not specifically limit these methods.

[0110] Based on this, a preset vibration level can be set. By comparing the vibration level of the clothing handling equipment with the preset vibration level, it can be determined whether the floor cleaner is allowed to be located inside the base station. Specifically, when the vibration level of the clothing handling equipment is greater than the preset vibration level, the clothing handling equipment controls the floor cleaner to be prohibited from being located inside the base station to avoid noise caused by collision between the clothing handling equipment and the floor cleaner; when the vibration level of the clothing handling equipment is less than or equal to the preset vibration level, the clothing handling equipment controls the floor cleaner to be located inside the base station, and the floor cleaner can perform the corresponding operations inside the base station.

[0111] In some embodiments, controlling whether the ground cleaner is located at the ground cleaner base station according to the ground cleaner base station control signal includes: when it is determined from the ground cleaner base station control signal that the clothing processing equipment is in any of the following states: power off, standby, paused, fault, or terminated operation, control the ground cleaner to be located at the ground cleaner base station.

[0112] Another control method for a dual-wash machine provided in this disclosure acquires a control signal from a floor cleaner base station sent by a clothing handling device, and then controls the floor cleaner to leave the base station or the sweeper to enter the base station based on the control signal. The floor cleaner base station control signal is generated based on the working status of the clothing handling device. Signals can be exchanged between the floor cleaner and the clothing handling device. When the working status of the clothing handling device determines that the floor cleaner needs to be kept outside the base station to avoid noise from collisions between the clothing handling device and the floor cleaner, the floor cleaner is controlled to either prevent entering or leaving the base station. This effectively avoids the problem of noise caused by collisions between multiple appliances located in the same space, improving the intelligence level of the dual-wash machine's operation.

[0113] In summary, the clothing handling equipment can communicate with the ground cleaner base station via wires. The operation of the two appliances is designed with mutual exclusion logic through software control. Based on the main control board of the clothing handling equipment, the ground cleaner base station, and the ground cleaner control board, the software signal judgment and recognition are used to control the program of each stage of the ground cleaner and clothing handling equipment, so as to prevent the operating status of one appliance from affecting the operating performance of the other appliance.
