AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing drum washing machines, laundry detergent pods may get stuck between the door and the door seal due to different order of addition during the washing process, resulting in incomplete dissolution, affecting the washing effect and reducing the user experience.

Method used

By detecting the location of laundry pods inside the drum washing machine, it can determine whether they have dissolved sufficiently. If they cannot dissolve completely, spray water onto their location to prevent them from getting stuck in the gap between the door and the door seal. The use of light sensors and material recognition sensors improves the accuracy of the judgment and saves water resources.

Benefits of technology

This ensures that laundry detergent pods dissolve completely, improving washing performance, saving water, preventing damage to the drum washing machine caused by foreign object residue, and enhancing user experience and equipment stability.

Abstract

本发明公开了一种滚筒洗衣机及其控制方法,通过获取滚筒洗衣机中洗衣凝珠的位置,并在根据洗衣凝珠的位置判断洗衣凝珠无法充分溶解时向洗衣凝珠所在的位置进行喷淋,进而将洗衣凝珠充分溶解;其中判断洗衣凝珠的方法为,获取门体和窗垫之间的缝隙中是否存在异物,若是,则根据异物的材质信息判断异物是否为洗衣凝珠;如果根据异物的材质信息判断异物不是洗衣凝珠,则向用户发出警报,提示用户及时将异物取出;通过上述方案避免了洗衣凝珠无法充分溶解导致洗涤水中洗涤剂浓度较低对洗涤效果产生影响,提高了滚筒洗衣机的智能化水平和用户的使用体验。
