Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of smart home technology, specifically providing a control method and clothing processing equipment for clothing processing devices. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, with the improvement of living standards, washing machines, dryers, and other clothing processing equipment play a very important role and are among the essential household or commercial appliances. When the washing machine or dryer finishes running, clothes can easily be pulled out because they are tangled together, especially small items such as socks and baby clothes. This can cause the pulled-out clothes to fall on the floor, resulting in the clean clothes being contaminated again.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, utility model patent CN1215906417 U discloses a "clothing receiving device and clothing processing equipment," comprising a clothing receiving component mounted on a support. When the support is placed on the placement surface, the clothing receiving component can be located in front of the loading / unloading port of the clothing processing equipment. It can be used to place clothing taken from the equipment for temporary storage or drying, and also to catch clothing that accidentally falls during the loading / unloading process, preventing situations where some clothing is pulled out along with the garment and easily falls to the ground, as is common in related technologies. However, in practice, the receiving device in this solution is manual, requiring the user to manually pick it up and pull it out each time. Furthermore, this device is not necessary in every situation, impacting the user experience.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need in the art for a new control method and garment processing equipment to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, namely, to solve the problem that the receiving device of the clothing processing equipment in the prior art cannot pop out automatically, has a low level of intelligence, and affects the user experience.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a control method for a garment processing device, comprising: acquiring an executed garment processing program; determining whether the door of the garment processing device is opened; and selectively controlling the receiving device of the garment processing device to automatically pop out based on the executed garment processing program and the detection result.

[0007] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively controlling the receiving device of the clothing processing equipment to automatically pop out based on the executed clothing processing program and the detection result" specifically includes: if the executed clothing processing program is a washing program, then controlling the motor of the clothing processing equipment to operate in a strong output mode; obtaining the motor power; determining the size classification of the clothing based on the range of the motor power; and selectively controlling the receiving device to automatically pop out based on the size classification of the clothing and the detection result.

[0008] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "determining the size classification of clothing based on the range of motor power" specifically includes: determining whether the motor power is greater than or equal to a preset power; when the motor power is greater than or equal to the preset power, determining that the clothing is a large item; and / or when the motor power is less than the preset power, determining that the clothing is at least one small item.

[0009] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively controlling the receiving device to automatically pop out based on the size classification of the clothing and the detection results" specifically includes: when the clothing is determined to be at least one small piece of clothing, and after the clothing processing equipment has finished operating and the door has been opened, controlling the receiving device to automatically pop out; and / or when the clothing is determined to be at least one small piece of clothing, not controlling the receiving device to automatically pop out if the door has not been opened.

[0010] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively controlling the receiving device to automatically pop out based on the size classification of the clothing and the detection results" further includes: when the clothing is determined to be a large item, the first weight of the clothing in the washing tub of the clothing processing equipment is retrieved; it is determined whether the first weight is greater than a first preset weight; when the first weight is greater than the first preset weight, and after the clothing processing equipment has finished operating and the door is opened, the receiving device is controlled to automatically pop out; and / or when the first weight is less than or equal to the first preset weight, the receiving device is not controlled to automatically pop out.

[0011] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the first weight is the weight obtained before the clothing processing device performs the washing and water injection operation.

[0012] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "controlling the motor of the garment processing equipment to operate in a strong output mode" specifically includes: before the garment processing equipment performs the last spin-drying operation, controlling the drive motor to operate at a preset washing-to-stop ratio.

[0013] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively controlling the receiving device of the clothing processing equipment to automatically pop out according to the executed clothing processing program and the detection result" further includes: if the executed clothing processing program is a drying program, then after the clothing processing equipment finishes running, obtaining the second weight of the clothes in the washing tub of the clothing processing equipment; determining whether the second weight is greater than a second preset weight; and selectively controlling the receiving device to automatically pop out according to the determination result and the detection result.

[0014] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively controlling the receiving device to automatically pop out based on the judgment result and the detection result" specifically includes: when the second weight is greater than the second preset weight, and after the clothing processing equipment has finished operating and the door has been opened, controlling the receiving device to automatically pop out; and / or when the second weight is greater than the second preset weight, not controlling the receiving device to automatically pop out when the door has not been opened; and / or when the second weight is less than or equal to the second preset weight, not controlling the receiving device to automatically pop out.

[0015] In a second aspect, the present invention also provides a garment processing device, the garment processing device comprising: a processor; and a memory adapted to store a plurality of program codes, the program codes being adapted to be loaded and run by the processor to perform the control method described in any of the above embodiments.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the control method of the present invention, the executed clothing processing program is obtained; it is determined whether the washing machine door is open; and based on the executed clothing processing program and the detection results, the receiving device of the washing machine is selectively controlled to automatically pop out.

[0017] Compared to existing technologies that require manual opening of the receiving device, this invention accurately determines the state of the clothes after the washing machine has finished running based on the executed clothing processing program. Based on this state, it accurately determines whether clothes are likely to be pulled out during removal or fall off. Combining this with the washing machine door's open / closed status, it accurately determines whether the receiving device needs to automatically pop out to catch any clothes accidentally dropped during removal, preventing them from falling to the ground and causing secondary contamination. Furthermore, this process eliminates the need for the user to manually open the receiving device, improving the washing machine's intelligence, meeting users' growing needs, and ultimately enhancing the user experience.

[0018] Furthermore, when the executed clothing processing program is a washing program, it indicates that the clothes are wet and tightly tangled after the washing machine finishes running. While the tangled clothes are not easily untangled during removal, they can easily pull out other smaller items of clothing, leading to the potential for smaller items to fall off. Based on this, the washing machine motor is controlled to operate in a high-output mode. This means that by agitating the water flow, the washing of large items will cause eccentricity, increasing the power of the motor driving the impeller. However, washing at least one small item is less prone to eccentricity. Therefore, based on the range of motor power obtained, it is possible to accurately determine whether the clothing is a large item or at least one small item, and to more accurately predict whether clothing will fall off, and whether the receiving device needs to be automatically ejected, thus improving the accuracy of the judgment.

[0019] Furthermore, when the executed clothing processing program is a drying program, it means that the clothes are dry and in a relatively loose state after the washing machine finishes running, that is, they are loosely tangled. Even tangled clothes are very likely to fall off during the process of removing the clothes. Based on this, the second weight of the clothes in the washing tub of the washing machine is obtained. The quantity of clothes in the washing tub can be determined based on the second weight, which can more accurately determine whether clothes will fall off and whether the receiving device needs to be automatically ejected, thus improving the accuracy of the judgment.

[0027] 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 present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. For example, although this application is described in conjunction with a washing machine, the technical solution of the present invention is not limited thereto. This control method can obviously also be applied to other clothing processing equipment such as washer-dryer combos, shoe washing machines, clothes dryers, and steam washing equipment, and such modifications do not depart from the principles and scope of the present invention.

[0028] It should be noted that in the description of this invention, terms such as "inner," "front," and "bottom," indicating directional or positional relationships, are based on the directional 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. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection" and "setup" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can be a mechanical connection or a direct connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] Based on the technical problems mentioned in the background art, the present invention provides a control method for a washing machine. This method aims to accurately determine the state of the clothes after the washing machine has finished running, based on the acquired and executed clothing processing program. Based on the state of the clothes, it can accurately determine whether the clothes are easily pulled out during the removal process, or whether clothes are likely to fall off. Based on this, and combined with the opening and closing status of the washing machine door, it can accurately determine whether the washing machine's receiving device needs to automatically pop out to catch clothes that accidentally fall during the removal process, preventing them from falling to the ground and causing secondary contamination. Furthermore, this process eliminates the need for the user to manually open the receiving device, improving the washing machine's intelligence, meeting the growing user needs, and thus enhancing the user experience.

[0031] First see Figure 1 The control method for a washing machine according to the present invention will be described. Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the control method of the present invention.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0033] S100, Obtain the clothing processing procedure to be executed;

[0034] S200, Determine whether the washing machine door is open;

[0035] S300: Based on the executed garment processing program and test results, selectively control the washing machine's receiving device to automatically pop out.

[0036] The washing machine can be a regular washing machine or a washing machine with a drying function. The clothing processing program can be a washing program, a drying program, or a washing and drying program. The washing program can be a standard wash program, a quick wash program, a wool program, a down program, a children's program, or other programs for washing clothes.

[0037] The receiving device includes a storage box, a bracket, and a clothing receiving component. The storage box is located on the front side of the washing machine casing and defines a storage cavity with an open front end. The bracket is retractable and located within the storage cavity, and when extended, it is adapted to support the front side of the washing machine casing. The clothing receiving component is mounted on the bracket and is used to receive clothing. Of course, the structure of the receiving device is not limited to the structures listed above; other structures capable of receiving clothing can also be used. The structure of the receiving device does not constitute any limitation on the method of the present invention.

[0038] In step S100, after the washing machine is started, the clothing processing program to be executed can be determined according to the instructions input by the user; or, the clothing processing program to be executed can also be determined according to parameters such as the color, weight, and type of the clothes in the washing drum of the washing machine. Regardless of the method used, as long as the clothing processing program to be executed can be determined, it is acceptable.

[0039] In step S200, the washing machine is equipped with a door lock. The system determines whether the door lock is unlocked. If the door lock is unlocked, the door is determined to be open; if the door lock is not unlocked, the door is determined to be closed. Alternatively, the system can determine whether the door is open by obtaining an opening command. Of course, other methods can also be used, as long as they can determine whether the door is open.

[0040] The following reference Figures 2 to 5 The method for selectively controlling the automatic ejection of the receiving device according to the present invention will be described. Figure 2 This is the flow chart of the control method for selectively controlling the automatic ejection of the receiving device according to the present invention. Figure 1 ; Figure 3 This is a flowchart of the control method for determining the size and category of clothing according to the present invention; Figure 4 This is the flow chart of the control method for selectively controlling the automatic ejection of the receiving device according to the present invention. Figure 2 ; Figure 5 This is the flow chart of the control method for selectively controlling the automatic ejection of the receiving device according to the present invention. Figure 3 .

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, step S300, specifically including the step of "selectively controlling the automatic ejection of the washing machine's receiving device based on the executed clothing processing program and detection results," includes:

[0042] S311. If the clothing processing program being executed is a washing program, control the washing machine motor to operate in a high-output mode.

[0043] S312, Obtain motor power;

[0044] S313. Based on the range of motor power, determine the size and category of clothing items;

[0045] S314. Based on the size classification and inspection results of the clothing, selectively control the automatic pop-out of the receiving device.

[0046] The motor of this invention has three output modes: strong output mode, standard output mode, and weak output mode. Each output mode can be characterized by the motor's rotation-to-stop ratio. For example, the strong output mode corresponds to a first preset rotation-to-stop ratio, the standard output mode corresponds to a preset washing rotation-to-stop ratio set within the washing program, and the weak output mode corresponds to a second preset rotation-to-stop ratio. The first preset rotation-to-stop ratio is greater than the preset washing rotation-to-stop ratio, and the preset washing rotation-to-stop ratio is greater than the second preset rotation-to-stop ratio. For example, the first preset rotation-to-stop ratio is 1.6 / 0.8, the preset washing rotation-to-stop ratio is 1.2 / 0.8, and the second preset rotation-to-stop ratio is 0.8 / 0.8. The water flow intensity is controlled according to the different rotation-to-stop ratios. Specifically, the water flow intensity when the motor is running in strong output mode is greater than the water flow intensity when the motor is running in standard output mode, and the water flow intensity when the motor is running in standard output mode is greater than the water flow intensity when the motor is running in weak output mode. Of course, although the various output modes of the present invention are described using the motor's rotation-to-stop ratio, this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. For example, each output mode can also be characterized by the motor's rotation speed, i.e., the strong output mode corresponds to the first preset rotation speed, the standard output mode corresponds to the preset washing rotation speed, and the weak output mode corresponds to the second preset rotation speed, wherein the first preset rotation speed is greater than the preset washing rotation speed, which is greater than the second preset rotation speed.

[0047] In step S311, when the clothing processing program being executed is a washing program, it means that the clothes are wet and tangled after the washing machine has finished running. The tangled clothes are not easy to fall off during the process of taking out the clothes, but they are easy to pull out other small items of clothing along with them, which can easily cause small items of clothing to fall off. Based on this, the motor that drives the washing machine's impeller to rotate is controlled to run in a strong output mode in order to further determine whether it is necessary to automatically eject the receiving device.

[0048] Furthermore, before the washing machine performs its final spin cycle, i.e. when the water level is at the washing level, the motor controlling the rotation of the pulsator of the washing machine operates in a high-output mode to obtain a stronger water flow intensity; of course, if it is a drum washing machine, the motor controlling the rotation of the inner drum of the washing machine operates in a high-output mode to obtain a stronger water flow intensity.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, step S312, "determining the size classification of clothing based on the range of motor power," specifically includes:

[0050] S321. Determine whether the motor power is greater than or equal to the preset power; if yes, proceed to step S322; if no, proceed to step S323.

[0051] S322. Determine that the clothing is a large item of clothing;

[0052] S323. Determine that the garment is at least one small garment.

[0053] In step S322, taking a pulsator washing machine as an example, the preset power is 300W, and the obtained power is 400W, which is greater than the preset power. This indicates that when the water flow intensity is high, the clothes become eccentric, which leads to an increase in motor power. However, multiple small items will not become eccentric in this situation, so it can be determined that the clothes are large items.

[0054] In step S323, taking a pulsator washing machine as an example, the preset power is 300W, and the obtained power is 280W. When it is less than the preset power, it means that the clothes are not eccentric when the water flow intensity is large. As above, it can be determined that the clothes are one, two, three or more small items of clothing.

[0055] The preset power listed above is merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust and determine the preset power based on experiments or empirical formulas.

[0056] It should be noted that in the above process, steps S322 and S323 are not sequential but parallel, and are only related to the judgment result of whether the motor power is greater than the preset power. The corresponding steps can be executed according to different judgment results.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, step S314, "selectively controlling the automatic ejection of the receiving device based on the size classification and detection results of the clothing," specifically includes:

[0058] S331. When it is determined that the garment is at least one small item, the receiving device is automatically ejected after the washing machine has finished running and the door has been opened.

[0059] S332. When it is determined that the garment is at least one small garment, the receiving device is not controlled to automatically pop out if the door is not opened.

[0060] In step S331, when it is determined that the garment consists of at least one small item, it is easy for the small item to be pulled out along with the main garment during the unloading process, potentially causing it to fall. Therefore, after the washing machine finishes running and the door is opened, the receiving device automatically pops out to catch any garments that may accidentally fall during the unloading process, preventing them from falling to the ground and causing secondary contamination. Here, "finishing the washing machine" means that the garment processing program has ended, but the washing machine has not yet been turned off.

[0061] Correspondingly, if the door is not opened, it means there is no need to retrieve clothes, and the receiving device will not be controlled to pop out automatically even if the clothes are at least one small item and the washing machine has finished running.

[0062] Continue reading Figure 4 Step S314 further includes:

[0063] S333. When it is determined that the clothes are large items, the first weight of the clothes in the washing tub of the washing machine is retrieved.

[0064] S334. Determine whether the first weight is greater than the first preset weight; if yes, proceed to step S335; if no, proceed to step S336.

[0065] S335. After the washing machine finishes running and the door is opened, the control receiving device automatically pops out;

[0066] S336. The receiving device is not automatically ejected.

[0067] In step S333, when it is determined that the clothing is a large item, it may be a single large item or multiple large items. There is also a risk of clothing falling during the process of taking out multiple large items. Based on this, the first weight of the clothing is retrieved. The first weight is the weight obtained before the washing machine performs the washing and water filling operation, that is, the dry weight of the clothing. The quantity of clothing can be determined more accurately based on the dry weight of the clothing.

[0068] Furthermore, the weight of the clothes can be obtained through a weighing sensor located at the bottom of the washing tub, or through fuzzy weighing of the clothes by the rotation of the pulsator, and the weight of the clothes can be reflected by the power of the motor driving the pulsator. Of course, other methods can also be used to obtain the weight of the clothes, and this invention does not impose any limitations on this. Although a "tub" is used, it is not limited to a pulsator washing machine; a front-loading washing machine can also be used.

[0069] In step S335, for example, if the first preset weight is 2kg and the obtained first weight is 3kg, which is greater than the first preset weight, it means that there are a lot of clothes put into the washing tub, such as three or four pieces of clothing, and there is a risk of clothes falling off. Therefore, after the washing machine finishes running and the door is opened, the receiving device is automatically popped out to receive the clothes that are accidentally dropped during the clothes removal process, so as to prevent the clothes that are taken out along with them from falling to the ground and to avoid secondary pollution of the clothes.

[0070] Furthermore, if the door is not opened, it indicates that there is no need to retrieve clothes, and even if the first weight is greater than the first preset weight and the washing machine has finished running, the receiving device will not be controlled to pop out automatically.

[0071] In step S336, for example, if the first preset weight is 2kg and the obtained first weight is 1kg, which is less than the first preset weight, it means that the clothes put into the washing tub are a small amount of clothes, such as one or two pieces of clothing. There is basically no risk of the clothes falling off, or the risk of the clothes falling off is very small, so there is no need to control the receiving device to pop out automatically.

[0072] The first preset weights listed above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust and determine the first preset weights based on experiments or empirical formulas.

[0073] It should be noted that in the above process, steps S331 to S333 are not sequential but parallel, and are only related to the classification of clothing by size and the opening / closing status of the door. The corresponding steps are executed based on different classification results and door opening / closing statuses. Similarly, steps S335 and S336 are not sequential but parallel, and are only related to the judgment result of whether the first weight is greater than the first preset weight. The corresponding steps are executed based on different judgment results.

[0074] See again Figure 2 Step S300 also includes:

[0075] S315. If the clothing processing program being executed is a drying program, then after the washing machine finishes running, obtain the second weight of the clothes in the washing tub of the washing machine.

[0076] S316. Determine whether the second weight is greater than the second preset weight;

[0077] S317. Based on the judgment and test results, selectively control the receiving device to automatically pop out.

[0078] In step S315, when the clothing processing program being executed is a drying program, it is possible that the washing machine only executed the drying program, or it is possible that the washing machine executed a washing + drying program. In either case, it means that the clothes are dry and in a relatively loose state after the washing machine finishes running, that is, they are loosely tangled. Even tangled clothes are very easy to fall off during the process of taking out the clothes. Based on this, after the washing machine finishes running, the second weight of the clothes in the washing tub of the washing machine is obtained in order to further determine whether the receiving device needs to be automatically ejected.

[0079] The second weight refers to the weight obtained after the washing machine has finished running but before it is turned off, i.e., after drying. This is the dry weight of the clothes, which allows for a more accurate determination of the quantity of clothes. The method for obtaining the second weight can be referred to the methods listed above, and will not be elaborated here.

[0080] like Figure 5 As shown, step S317, "selectively controlling the receiving device to automatically pop out based on the judgment result and the detection result," specifically includes:

[0081] S341. When the second weight is greater than the second preset weight, and after the washing machine finishes running and the door is opened, the receiving device is automatically ejected.

[0082] S342. When the second weight is greater than the second preset weight, the receiving device is not automatically ejected if the door is not opened.

[0083] S343. When the second weight is less than or equal to the second preset weight, the receiving device is not controlled to pop out automatically.

[0084] In step S341, for example, if the second preset weight is 2.5kg and the obtained second weight is 3kg, which is greater than the second preset weight, it means that there are a lot of clothes put into the washing tub, such as three or four pieces of clothing, and there is a risk of clothes falling off. Therefore, after the washing machine finishes running and the door is opened, the receiving device is automatically popped out to receive the clothes that are accidentally dropped during the clothes removal process, so as to prevent the clothes that are taken out along with them from falling to the ground and to avoid secondary pollution of the clothes.

[0085] Correspondingly, if the door is not opened, it means there is no need to retrieve clothes, and even if the second weight is greater than the second preset weight and the washing machine has finished running, the receiving device will not be controlled to pop out automatically.

[0086] In step S343, for example, if the second preset weight is 2.5kg and the obtained second weight is 1.5kg, which is less than the second preset weight, it means that the clothes put into the washing tub are a small amount of clothes, such as one or two pieces of clothing. There is basically no risk of the clothes falling off, or the risk of the clothes falling off is very small, so there is no need to control the receiving device to pop out automatically.

[0087] The second preset weights listed above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust and determine the second preset weights based on experiments or empirical formulas.

[0088] It should be noted that in the above process, steps S311 and S315 are not sequential but parallel, and are only related to the clothing processing program being executed. The corresponding steps should be executed according to the different clothing processing programs. Steps S341 to S343 are also not sequential but parallel, and are only related to the weight of the clothing and the open / closed state of the door. The corresponding steps should be executed according to the weight of the clothing and the open / closed state of the door.

[0089] Of course, other methods can also be used to determine whether there are many clothes in the washing machine. For example, the washing parameters selected by the user can be used to determine whether there are many clothes. If the water level value selected by the user is greater than the preset water level value, it is considered that there are many clothes. Alternatively, the washing machine may have a special washing button for many clothes. If the user presses this button, it is considered that there are many clothes in the washing machine. Regardless of the method used, it is possible to determine whether the receiving device should be automatically ejected based on the methods involved in the above steps.

[0090] The following reference Figure 6 This paper describes one possible control flow of the present invention. Figure 6 This is a logic diagram of the control method of the present invention.

[0091] like Figure 6 As shown, a possible complete flow of the control method of the present invention is as follows:

[0092] S401. After the washing machine starts, obtain the clothing processing program to be executed;

[0093] If the clothing processing procedure being performed is a washing procedure, then proceed to step S402;

[0094] If the garment processing procedure being performed is a drying procedure, then step S412 is executed;

[0095] S402. Before the washing machine performs the washing and water filling operation, obtain the first weight m1 of the clothes in the washing tub;

[0096] S403. Before the washing machine performs the final spin cycle, control the washing machine motor to run in high-output mode;

[0099] S406. Determine that the garment is a large item; then proceed to step S408.

[0100] S407. Determine that the garment is at least one small item; in this case, proceed to step S409 after the washing machine has finished running.

[0101] S408, Determine if m1 > first preset weight m 01 Is the condition met? If yes, proceed to step S409 after the washing machine finishes running; otherwise, proceed to step S411.

[0102] S409. Determine whether the washing machine door is open; if yes, proceed to step S410; if no, proceed to step S411.

[0103] S410, Control the receiving device to pop out automatically;

[0104] S411. The receiving device is not automatically ejected without control.
