Detailed Implementation

[0064] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the invention. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific applications. For example, although the specification describes the invention using the example of a detergent dispenser located between the drain end and the intermediate pipe, it is obvious that the present invention can employ other similar methods, such as installing detergent dispensers in both the intermediate pipe and the flushing pipe, as long as the detergent dispenser can dispense detergent into both the flushing pipe and the intermediate pipe.

[0065] It should be noted that in the description of this invention, terms such as "inner" and "outer" indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. This is merely for ease of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or element 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 invention.

[0066] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "linked," "equipped," etc., 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 direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, etc. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0067] To address the problem that water discharged from washing machines is usually directly discharged without being effectively utilized, this invention provides a control method for washing equipment. Since this control method is implemented based on specific washing equipment, the structure of the washing equipment will be described first.

[0068] The washing equipment includes a basin 1 and a washing machine 2. The basin drain end 14 of the basin 1 is connected to the outside through the basin drain pipe 11. The washing drain end 13 of the washing machine 2 is connected to the water chamber 12 of the basin 1 through the rinsing pipe 3. The rinsing pipe 3 is equipped with a rinsing valve 4. The washing drain end 13 of the washing machine 2 is also directly connected to the outside through the washing drain pipe 5. The washing drain pipe 5 is equipped with a washing drain valve 6.

[0069] The washing equipment also includes an intermediate pipe 8. One end of the intermediate pipe 8 is set on the flushing pipe 3 between the flushing valve 4 and the washing drain end 13. The other end of the intermediate pipe 8 is connected to the basin drain pipe 11. An intermediate valve 9 is also set on the intermediate pipe 8.

[0070] A detergent dispenser 7 is also provided in the flushing pipe 3. The detergent dispenser 7 is located between the washing drain end 13 and the intermediate pipe 8, so that the detergent dispenser 7 can dispense detergent into the flushing pipe 3 and the intermediate pipe 8.

[0071] The basin 1 is also equipped with a faucet 10, which is connected to an external water source.

[0072] The control method of the washing equipment of the present invention will be described below.

[0073] like Figure 2 As shown, the control method of the present invention mainly includes the following steps:

[0074] S1. Obtain the working status of the washing machine;

[0075] S2. Based on the working status of the washing machine, control the opening and closing of the washing drain valve when the washing machine is draining, thereby controlling whether the washing machine drains water into the basin for cleaning or directly discharges it to the outside.

[0076] The control method of the washing equipment of the present invention can drain water into the basin when the washing machine is draining water according to the working state of the washing machine, and use the hot water containing detergent or room temperature water containing detergent discharged from the washing machine to rinse and clean the basin, so as to make full use of the water after the washing machine.

[0077] like Figure 3 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the control method of the present invention further includes the following steps:

[0078] S101. Obtain the working status of the washing machine;

[0079] S102. When the washing machine is in the washing mode, obtain the status of the water tap.

[0080] When the washing machine is in the washing phase, the water discharged during the draining phase contains detergent.

[0081] S103. When the faucet is turned on, the washing drain valve and the flush valve are closed and the intermediate valve is opened while the washing machine is draining water, so as to control the washing machine to drain water into the basin drain pipe.

[0082] In this step, while the faucet is in use, the washing machine drains water into the sink drain pipe to avoid interference from the washing machine's drainage.

[0083] S104. When the tap is turned off, obtain the current water temperature T inside the washing machine;

[0084] S105. When T≥T0, when the washing machine is draining water, close the flushing valve and the washing drain valve and open the intermediate valve to control the washing machine to drain water into the basin drain pipe.

[0085] In this step, the water discharged from the washing machine is too hot and may scald the user who is using the sink, so the washing machine drains the water into the sink drain pipe.

[0086] S106. When T < T0, the washing machine opens the flushing valve and closes the intermediate valve and washing drain valve when draining water, controlling the washing machine to drain water into the basin's water chamber.

[0087] S107. When the washing machine is in the rinsing or spin-drying state, obtain the status of the water tap.

[0088] When a washing machine rinses or spins, the washing water discharged contains less detergent.

[0089] S108. When the faucet is turned on, close the washing drainage valve and the flushing valve and open the intermediate valve when the washing machine is draining, control the washing machine to drain water into the washbasin drain pipe, and control the detergent dispenser to dispense detergent into the intermediate pipe;

[0090] Although when the washing machine is rinsing or dehydrating, the washing liquid contained in the drained washing water is very little, considering that in some washing programs, the temperature of the drained washing water is relatively high, thus this part of the washing water can be utilized by dispensing detergent into the intermediate pipe.

[0091] S109. When the faucet is turned off, obtain the current water temperature T inside the washing machine;

[0092] S110. When T≥T0, close the washing drainage valve and the flushing valve and open the intermediate valve when the washing machine is draining, control the washing machine to drain water into the washbasin drain pipe, and control the detergent dispenser to dispense detergent into the intermediate pipe;

[0093] S111. When T<T0, close the washing drainage valve and the intermediate valve and open the flushing valve when the washing machine is draining, control the washing machine to drain water into the water receiving cavity of the washbasin, and control the detergent dispenser to dispense detergent into the flushing pipe.

[0094] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the principle of the present invention and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can adjust the above structure so that the present invention can be applied to more specific application scenarios, and these do not depart from the principle of the present invention, so they will all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0095] For example, in an alternative embodiment, the flushing pipe 3 described in the current embodiment can also be connected to the water receiving cavity 12 of the washbasin 1, and an intermediate pipe 8 is also provided, which is replaced by connecting the flushing pipe to the washbasin drain pipe and not providing an intermediate pipe. Correspondingly, when the working state of the washing machine is washing, close the washing drainage valve and open the flushing valve when the washing machine is draining, and control the washing machine to drain water into the washbasin drain pipe. When the working state of the washing machine is rinsing or dehydrating, close the flushing valve and open the washing drainage valve when the washing machine is draining, and control the washing machine to directly drain water to the outside (not shown in the figure). These do not depart from the principle of the present invention, so they will all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0096] For example, in another alternative embodiment, step S103 described in the current embodiment can also be replaced by when the faucet is turned on, close the intermediate valve and the flushing valve and open the washing drainage valve when the washing machine is draining, and control the washing machine to directly drain water to the outside. These do not depart from the principle of the present invention, so they will all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0097] For example, in another alternative embodiment, step S105 described in the current embodiment can be replaced by closing the flushing valve and the intermediate valve and opening the washing drain valve when the washing machine is draining water, when T≥T0, so that the washing machine can directly discharge water to the outside. These modifications do not deviate from the principles of the present invention and therefore fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0098] For example, in another alternative embodiment, step S107 described in the current embodiment can be replaced by opening the washing drain valve when the washing machine is in the rinsing or spin-drying state, controlling the washing machine to directly discharge water to the outside. These modifications do not deviate from the principles of the present invention and therefore fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0099] For example, in another alternative embodiment, step S108 described in the current embodiment can be replaced by closing the intermediate valve and the rinsing valve and opening the washing drain valve when the faucet is turned on, thereby controlling the washing machine to discharge water directly to the outside. These modifications do not deviate from the principles of the present invention and therefore fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0100] For example, in another alternative embodiment, step S110 described in the current embodiment can be replaced by closing the intermediate valve and the flushing valve and opening the washing drain valve when the washing machine is draining water, when T≥T0, so that the washing machine can directly discharge water to the outside. These modifications do not deviate from the principles of the present invention and therefore fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0101] In summary, the control method of the washing equipment of the present invention can, based on the working status of the washing machine, the water temperature of the water discharged from the washing machine, and whether the faucet is currently in use, guide the water discharged from the washing machine into the sink when conditions are suitable, and use the hot water containing detergent or room temperature water containing detergent discharged from the washing machine to rinse and clean the sink, thereby making full use of the water after washing the washing machine; or, when conditions are not suitable, directly discharge the water discharged from the washing machine to the outside to save electricity.

[0102] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a washing device configured to perform the control method for the washing device described in any of the above embodiments.

[0103] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above-described washing equipment also includes other known structures, such as processors, controllers, and memories. These memories include, but are not limited to, random access memory (RAM), flash memory, read-only memory (ROM), programmable read-only memory (PROM), volatile memory, non-volatile memory, serial memory, parallel memory, or registers. Processors include, but are not limited to, CPLD / FPGA, DSP, ARM processors, and MIPS processors. To avoid unnecessarily obscuring the embodiments of the present invention, these known structures are not shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0104] Of course, the alternative implementation methods described above, as well as the alternative implementation methods and preferred implementation methods, can be used in combination to create new implementation methods that are suitable for more specific application scenarios.

[0105] The technical solution of the present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
