[0051] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, like numbers in different figures represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all possible embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0052] In existing washing machines, due to the high amount of lint on clothes during washing, if the lint on the clothes is not cleaned before washing, friction occurs between the clothes and between the clothes and the drum during washing, causing some lint that has fallen off the clothes to adhere to the lint cleaning device and be transferred to other clothes, thus affecting the washing effect. In the embodiments of the present invention, by detecting whether there is significant lint on the surface of the clothes before washing, different cleaning levels are applied according to different lint amounts, thereby avoiding the situation where a large amount of lint on the surface of the clothes affects the washing effect.

[0053] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 The technical solution of this embodiment is described in detail. The following implementation methods and embodiments can be combined with each other unless there is any conflict.

[0054] Example

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment proposes a method for controlling dander removal of clothes in a washing machine. The washing machine has multiple dander cleaning programs with cleaning levels ranging from low to high. The cleaning level of each dander cleaning program corresponds to a level of dander amount. The method includes:

[0056] Obtaining the amount of lint on the clothing to obtain a first lint amount;

[0057] When the first lint amount does not meet the washing condition, the lint amount level of the first lint amount is determined, and a lint cleaning program corresponding to the cleaning level is executed according to the lint amount level, or,

[0058] When the first amount of dander meets the cleaning condition, the washing procedure is performed.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present invention, the presence of significant lint on the surface of the clothes is detected before washing, and different cleaning levels are performed according to the amount of lint, so as to avoid the situation where there is a lot of lint on the surface of the clothes during washing, which affects the washing effect of the clothes.

[0060] It is worth noting that the greater the amount of lint, the higher the corresponding lint level, and the higher the lint level, the higher the cleaning level of the corresponding lint cleaning program.

[0061] Preferably, in this embodiment, the lint amount level is divided into three levels, and the cleaning level of the lint cleaning program is also divided into three levels. The first-level lint amount level corresponds to the first-level cleaning level lint cleaning program, the second-level lint amount level corresponds to the second-level cleaning level lint cleaning program, and the third-level lint amount level corresponds to the third-level cleaning level lint cleaning program.

[0062] Specifically, the method for determining the lint level includes: comparing the first lint amount obtained above with different thresholds to determine the lint level.

[0063] More specifically, the different thresholds include a first threshold and a second threshold;

[0064] When the first lint amount is less than or equal to the first threshold, it is considered that the lint amount is small; when the lint amount is small, a lint cleaning procedure of the first cleaning level is executed;

[0065] When the first lint amount is greater than the first threshold and less than or equal to the second threshold, it is considered that the lint amount is large; when the lint amount is large, the lint cleaning procedure of the second cleaning level is executed;

[0066] When the first lint amount is greater than the second threshold, it is considered that the lint amount is large; when the lint amount is large, a lint cleaning procedure of the third cleaning level is executed.

[0067] The first cleaning level lint cleaning program has a first cleaning strategy, the second cleaning level lint cleaning program has a second cleaning strategy, and the third cleaning level lint cleaning program has a third cleaning strategy.

[0068] like Figure 3 As shown, when the washing machine is executing the first cleaning strategy, the washing machine runs at a first speed and a first start-stop ratio for a first time period;

[0069] like Figure 4 As shown, when the washing machine is executing the second cleaning strategy, the washing machine runs at a second speed and a second start-stop ratio for a second period of time;

[0070] like Figure 5 As shown, when the washing machine executes the third cleaning strategy, the washing machine runs at a third speed and a third start-stop ratio for a third time period;

[0071] The first speed is ≤ the second speed ≤ the third speed, the first start-stop ratio is < the second start-stop ratio is < the third start-stop ratio, and the first time duration is < the second time duration is < the third time duration.

[0072] Specifically, the first start-stop ratio (start for m1 seconds and stop for n1 seconds), the second start-stop ratio (start for m2 seconds and stop for n2 seconds), and the third start-stop ratio (start for m3 seconds and stop for n3 seconds), wherein m3>m2>m1, n1>n2>n3.

[0073] That is, in an embodiment of the present invention, the more lint detected on the surface of the clothes, the higher the cleaning level of the lint cleaning program executed, and thus the greater the cleaning intensity of the clothes. That is, in an embodiment of the present invention, a lint cleaning program with a corresponding cleaning level can be automatically selected according to the amount of lint obtained on the clothes to perform lint removal treatment on the clothes, thereby performing targeted lint removal treatment on the clothes according to the amount of lint on the clothes.

[0074] However, it should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when performing dander removal treatment on clothes, the user can also manually select a dander cleaning program of a corresponding cleaning level to perform dander removal treatment on the clothes.

[0075] That is, the dandruff removal control method in the embodiment of the present invention can automatically select and execute the dandruff cleaning program of the corresponding cleaning level by obtaining the dandruff amount through the system, or can be manually selected and executed by the user.

[0076] The difference is that when the system selects automatically, it first obtains the amount of lint on the clothes, and then determines the lint cleaning program of the corresponding cleaning level based on the obtained lint amount. When the user selects manually, the user first determines the lint cleaning program of the corresponding cleaning level, and then the system obtains the amount of lint on the surface of the clothes.

[0077] However, no matter whether the lint cleaning program is automatically selected and determined by the system or manually selected and determined by the user, the selected lint cleaning program is applicable to the lint cleaning control logic described below.

[0078] Specifically, the method of executing a lint cleaning program of a corresponding cleaning level according to the lint amount level further includes:

[0079] After executing the dander cleaning program a set number of times, the amount of dander on the clothes after cleaning is obtained to obtain a second amount of dander, the first amount of dander is compared with the second amount of dander, and the dander cleaning program is reselected based on the comparison result to continue cleaning the clothes.

[0080] That is, when the washing machine in the embodiment of the present invention removes dander from clothes, it obtains the change in the amount of dander on the clothes after the dander cleaning program is executed, and selects a dander cleaning program of a different or the same cleaning level to continue cleaning the clothes, thereby being able to perform targeted dander removal on the clothes according to the amount of dander on the clothes.

[0081] Specifically, the method of reselecting the dander cleaning program to continue cleaning the clothes based on the comparison result includes:

[0082] If the difference between the second lint amount and the first lint amount exceeds a first set difference, determining the lint cleaning program corresponding to the first lint amount as the reselected lint cleaning program;

[0083] If the difference between the second lint amount and the first lint amount does not exceed the first set difference, the lint cleaning program is reselected according to the cleaning level of the lint cleaning program corresponding to the first lint amount.

[0084] That is, if the amount of lint on the clothes after cleaning is reduced, it can be considered that the cleaning through the lint cleaning program of the current cleaning level is effective, then the lint cleaning program of this cleaning level can be continued to remove lint from the clothes until the amount of lint on the surface of the clothes meets the washing requirements.

[0085] However, when the amount of lint on the clothes after cleaning does not decrease or increases, it can be considered that the cleaning effect of the lint cleaning program at the current cleaning level is not significant. At this time, the lint cleaning program for continued cleaning can be determined based on the cleaning level of the lint cleaning program corresponding to the first amount of lint.

[0086] Specifically, reselecting the dander cleaning program according to the cleaning level of the dander cleaning program corresponding to the first dander amount includes:

[0087] When the dander cleaning program corresponding to the first dander amount is not the highest cleaning level, select a dander cleaning program of a higher level to continue cleaning the clothes; or

[0088] When the dander cleaning program corresponding to the first dander amount is at the highest cleaning level, the dander cleaning program corresponding to the first dander amount is selected to continue cleaning the clothes.

[0089] That is, after executing a lint cleaning program, if the amount of lint on the clothes has not changed significantly or has increased, it is further determined whether the level of the currently executed lint cleaning program is the highest level. If not, the cleaning level is increased to enhance the cleaning effect. Conversely, if yes, the number of highest level cleaning times is increased to enhance the cleaning effect.

[0090] It is worth noting that the above method also includes:

[0091] When the washing machine uses a lint cleaning program at a highest cleaning level to clean lint from clothes, the lint cleaning program at the highest cleaning level is performed at least twice, and the amount of lint on the clothes after the last cleaning is obtained to obtain a third lint amount;

[0092] If the difference between the third lint amount and the first lint amount does not exceed the second set difference, it is prompted that the clothes in the clothes processing drum do not meet the washing conditions.

[0093] It is worth noting that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the second set difference value and the first set difference value may be the same or different.

[0094] Preferably, when the dander cleaning program at the highest cleaning level is adopted to clean the clothes, the dander cleaning program at the highest cleaning level is performed twice.

[0095] That is, when the dander cleaning program with the highest cleaning level is used, it means that there is a lot of dander on the clothes at this time, so the number of washing times of the dander cleaning program with the highest cleaning level needs to be increased to improve the dander removal effect on the clothes.

[0096] However, if the amount of lint on the clothes does not decrease after the clothes are cleaned twice using the lint cleaning program at the highest cleaning level, it will be prompted that the clothes in the current clothes processing drum do not meet the washing conditions.

[0097] In any of the above embodiments, obtaining the amount of lint on clothing includes:

[0098] Acquire an image of clothes in a clothes treatment drum;

[0099] Identify dander representation information in the clothing image to obtain a dander representation value;

[0100] The lint characterization value is taken as the amount of lint on the clothing;

[0101] The dander characterization information includes any one or more of dander density, dander area, and the ratio of dander-containing clothing to the number of pieces of clothing put in.

[0102] Specifically, a camera, infrared sensor or other detection method can be used to collect images of clothes in the drum; and image recognition methods can be used to identify dander representation information in the image, such as density, area and the ratio of clothes with dander to the number of clothes put in. The detection value of any of these items can be used as the dander amount.

[0103] In one implementation of the present invention, the amount of dander is determined by identifying the density of dander in clothing images. In order to accurately detect the amount of dander, clothing images can be collected multiple times, and clothing images of different areas can be collected. The dander density of the area of ​​interest in each image is analyzed, and the final dander characterization value is comprehensively determined.

[0104] In another implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, when the dander characterization information includes dander density, dander area, and the ratio of dander-containing clothing to the number of placed clothing items, the dander characterization information in the clothing image is identified to obtain a dander characterization value, including:

[0105] The identified lint density, lint area, and the ratio of lint-bearing clothing to the number of placed clothing items are weighted to obtain a lint representation value. This implementation of the present embodiment can improve recognition accuracy.

[0106] In order to more clearly understand the anti-dandruff control method in the embodiment of the present invention, the following Figure 2 For detailed explanation:

[0107] like Figure 2 As shown, when the user selects the washing mode or the wash and dry mode, the user manually selects it. If the user does not manually select it, the dander detection is performed on the clothes put in, and the dander on the surface of the clothes is detected to see whether the dander cleaning mode needs to be executed. When the amount of dander does not reach the minimum cleaning standard, the washing machine does not execute the dander cleaning mode and completes the washing or wash and dry mode selected by the user.

[0108] When the amount of lint on the clothes reaches the cleaning standard, the lint cleaning mode is executed, and the lint cleaning program of the first cleaning level, the lint cleaning program of the second cleaning level, or the lint cleaning program of the third cleaning level is automatically selected according to the amount of lint on the clothes.

[0109] When the system automatically selects to execute the first-level lint cleaning program, it will detect whether the amount of lint on the surface of the clothes has decreased compared to before the cleaning level was executed. If it can achieve a reduction effect, it will continue to execute this cleaning mode. If there is no obvious effect and the lint has increased, it will execute the higher-level second-level cleaning program. After the second-level cleaning program, it will detect whether the lint on the surface of the clothes has decreased. If it can achieve a reduction effect, it will execute the second-level cleaning program. If the lint on the surface of the clothes has not been significantly reduced after the second-level cleaning program, it will execute the third-level cleaning program. After executing the third-level cleaning program twice, the lint on the surface of the clothes will be detected. If there is still no significant reduction, the customer will be informed that this batch of clothes is not recommended for subsequent mixed washing or wash and dry processing.

[0110] When the system automatically selects the second-level lint removal program, it checks to see if the amount of lint on the clothes has decreased. If it has, it proceeds to the second level. If there is still no significant reduction or it increases, it proceeds to the third level. After the third level is executed twice, the system checks the surface of the clothes for lint. If there is still no significant reduction, the customer is informed that the clothes are not recommended for mixed washing or washing and drying.

[0111] When the system automatically selects to execute the third-level cleaning level lint cleaning program, it will detect whether the lint on the clothes has been reduced after executing this cleaning level twice. If not, it will feedback to the customer that this batch of clothes is not recommended for subsequent mixed washing or wash-and-drying.

[0112] It is worth noting that when the user manually selects a lint removal program of a corresponding cleaning level to remove lint from clothes, the washing machine will execute the lint removal program selected by the user. If the user does not manually select a lint removal program, the washing machine will automatically detect the clothes put in and determine the lint removal program of the corresponding cleaning level based on the amount of lint on the clothes. After determining, the corresponding cleaning strategy will be used to clean the clothes. Specifically;

[0113] When the washing machine enters the first cleaning level dander cleaning program, it executes the first cleaning strategy. The washing machine executes the first cleaning level by setting the rotation speed v1, the rotation-stop ratio (rotation for m1 seconds and stop for n1 seconds) and the running cleaning time t1.

[0114] When the washing machine enters the secondary cleaning level dander cleaning program, it executes the second cleaning strategy. The washing machine executes the secondary cleaning level by setting the rotation speed v2, the rotation-stop ratio (rotation for m2 seconds and stop for n2 seconds) and the running cleaning time t2.

[0115] When the washing machine enters the third-level cleaning program of the dander cleaning program, the third cleaning strategy is executed. The washing machine executes the third-level cleaning level through the set speed v3, the start-stop ratio (start m3 seconds and stop n3 seconds) and the running cleaning time t3.

[0116] Among them, v3≥v2≥v1, m3>m2>m1, n1>n2>n3, t3>t2>t1.

[0117] A second aspect of an embodiment of the present invention discloses an electronic device, which includes: a memory for storing computer instructions; and a controller for calling and executing the computer instructions stored in the memory to implement the method provided in any of the above embodiments.

[0118] A third aspect of the embodiments of the present invention discloses a washing machine, which adopts the method provided by any one of the above embodiments; or, the washing machine includes the electronic device provided by any one of the above embodiments.

[0119] Other embodiments of the present invention will readily occur to those skilled in the art after considering the specification and practicing the embodiments disclosed herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present invention that follow from the general principles of the invention and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein.
