[0053] Explanation of reference numerals in the attached figures: Detailed Implementation

[0054] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0055] The embodiment of the present application provides a control method of a clothes processing device, a storage medium and the clothes processing device to solve the problem that the door is inconvenient to open and close in the child lock mode of the existing clothes processing device. The clothes processing device can be a washing machine, a clothes dryer, a washing and drying integrated machine, etc. The control method of the clothes processing device, the storage medium and the clothes processing device will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0056] The clothes processing device comprises a shell and a door body rotatably arranged on the shell. A rotatable barrel is arranged in the barrel body. The barrel forms a containing chamber for storing clothes and washing and drying the clothes. The door body is used to open and close the clothes containing chamber. The top of the shell is provided with a plurality of function keys for controlling the working mode of the clothes processing device.

[0057] As shown in the control method of the clothes processing device provided by the embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 Figure 1 The control method of the clothes processing device comprises the following steps: Figure 1

[0058] 101. When the clothes processing device is in the child lock state, it is judged whether a preset unlocking instruction is received.

[0059] 102. If the preset unlocking instruction is received, the water level in the barrel and the temperature in the barrel are obtained.

[0060] 103. When the water level in the barrel is lower than the preset water level and the temperature is within the preset range, the clothes processing device is controlled to exit the child lock state and the door body is unlocked.

[0061] 104. When the water level in the barrel is not lower than the preset water level or the temperature is not within the preset range, the child lock state is prohibited to exit.

[0062] Since the clothes processing device comprises a plurality of locking states, when the door body is in the locking state, it can be in the washing locking state, the drying locking state, and only when the user enters the child lock mode through the preset locking instruction, the clothes processing device will enter the child lock mode. At this time, other function keys are invalid, and the user cannot control the clothes processing device at will. The child lock function can avoid the waste of resources and the occurrence of safety accidents caused by the misoperation of children or pets on the washing device. However, if the user needs to add clothes during the operation of the clothes processing device, the child lock state needs to be exited, and then the unlocking operation can be realized to add clothes in the middle.

[0063] ​​Specifically, after the child lock function is turned on, the function key corresponding to the preset unlocking instruction is not completely locked. The preset unlocking instruction is long pressing the drying and rinsing keys together for 3 seconds. When the user operates unlocking by the preset unlocking instruction, the clothes processing device can enter the child lock unlocking program. It can be understood that the preset unlocking instruction can be set by the user according to the appearance and operation interface of the clothes processing device. In some embodiments, the preset unlocking instruction can also be a key instruction set on other electronic devices. For example, the user connects the clothes processing device through an electronic device such as a mobile phone, and controls the clothes processing device through the mobile phone. The preset key can be a virtual key on the mobile phone.

[0064] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 The flowchart of the control method of the clothes processing device provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 2 . After the control clothes processing device exits the child lock state and the door body is unlocked, the control method further comprises:

[0065] 201, detecting whether the door body is successfully unlocked;

[0066] 202, if the door body is not successfully unlocked, start timing;

[0067] 203, re-unlock the door body until the timing duration reaches the preset duration;

[0068] 204, if the door body is still not successfully unlocked, prompt a fault.

[0069] Specifically, the door body is not successfully unlocked means that the door lock fails to be unlocked, so that the door body is in a state of free rotation around the rotating shaft. The clothes processing device can be provided with a displacement sensor at the door lock of the door body to detect the movement distance of the door body. When the clothes processing device prompts to exit the child lock state and detects that the user cannot freely rotate the door body, it enters the timing process from the first unlocking failure.

[0070] The timing duration includes a plurality of periods. The re-unlocking of the door body until the timing duration reaches the preset duration includes:

[0071] The door body is unlocked at least once in each period until the end of the plurality of periods.

[0072] The preset time length is 45 seconds, each cycle time length is 15 seconds, and three cycles are included in the preset time length. If the door unlocking is not successful, the cycle is re-entered. In each cycle, the unlocking time and number can be set according to actual conditions, for example, the door can be unlocked in the first 5 seconds of each 15 seconds. After the three cycles end, if the door unlocking is still not successful, a fault is prompted. The fault includes a lock body fault or a door body fault. Either a lock body fault or a door body fault can cause the door unlocking to be unsuccessful. The fault prompt mode can be one or more of voice broadcast, text display, light, and terminal push. The user can set the prompt mode by himself / herself, as long as the prompt information can be clearly received by the user. The present application is not limited in this regard.

[0073] Exemplarily, refer to 3, Figure 3 The flowchart of the control method of the clothes treatment equipment provided by the embodiment of the present application Figure 3 When the water level in the tub is lower than the preset water level and the temperature is within the preset range, the clothes treatment equipment is controlled to exit the child lock state, and the door is unlocked, including:

[0074] 301, acquiring the water level in the tub;

[0075] 302, when the water level in the tub is lower than the preset water level, reacquiring the water level;

[0076] 303, when the water level exceeds the temperature sensor, acquiring the first temperature in the tub;

[0077] 3031, when the first temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, controlling the clothes treatment equipment to exit the child lock state and unlock the door;

[0078] 3032, when the first temperature is not lower than the first preset temperature, prohibiting the child lock state from being exited;

[0079] 304, when the water level does not exceed the temperature sensor, acquiring the second temperature in the tub;

[0080] 3041, when the second temperature is lower than the second preset temperature, controlling the clothes treatment equipment to exit the child lock state and unlock the door;

[0081] 3042, when the second temperature is not lower than the second preset temperature, prohibiting the child lock state from being exited, and the first preset temperature is less than the second preset temperature.

[0082] Specifically, the washing stage includes soaking, rinsing, dehydration and other stages. When the user needs to add clothes during the washing process, the washing water may not have been completely drained from the laundry treatment device, and the clothes are partially or completely soaked in water. When the preset unlocking instruction is received, the water level sensor obtains a first value of the water level in the tub at this time, and compares it with the value of the preset water level, which is the height of the water surface from the bottom of the tub. If the first value of the water level at this time exceeds the preset water level, there is a risk of water overflow when the door is opened, and the laundry treatment device cannot be unlocked, nor can it exit the child lock state. In some embodiments, if the water level exceeds the preset water level, a portion of the washing water can be controlled to be drained from the laundry treatment device until the water level in the tub is below the preset water level.

[0083] Further, the unlocking of the laundry treatment device also needs to meet the temperature condition. In this application, the height of the temperature sensor is lower than the height of the preset water level. If the water level is lower than the preset water level, a second value of the water level needs to be obtained again to determine whether the second value of the water level is higher than the height of the temperature sensor. The first preset temperature is the safe temperature at which the child lock can be unlocked when the water level exceeds the temperature sensor, and the second preset temperature is the safe temperature at which the child lock can be unlocked when the water level does not exceed the temperature sensor. It can be understood that when the water level in the tub is below the preset water level and exceeds the temperature sensor, the first temperature directly detected by the temperature sensor is the water temperature. When the water level in the tub is below the preset water level and does not exceed the temperature sensor, the second temperature directly detected by the temperature sensor is the ambient temperature in the tub. Since the temperature of the water body is less than the actual temperature in the tub, the first preset temperature is less than the second preset temperature. If the ambient temperature is higher than the water temperature T℃, the second preset temperature is higher than the first preset temperature T℃. When the first temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, the second temperature can be lower than the second preset temperature. Wherein, the water level exceeding the temperature sensor refers to the water level exceeding the temperature detection probe or other structure for directly obtaining the temperature of the temperature sensor.

[0084] For example, refer to 4, Figure 4 The control method of the laundry treatment device provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown in the flowchart Figure 4 Before determining whether the preset unlocking instruction is received when the laundry treatment device is in the child lock state, the control method further comprises:

[0085] 401, detecting whether the water level sensor in the tub is abnormal;

[0086] 402, if the water level sensor in the tub is abnormal, controlling the laundry treatment device not to enter the child lock state;

[0087] 403, if the water level sensor in the tub is normal, controlling the laundry treatment device to enter the child lock state.

[0088] Specifically, the water level sensor is arranged in the tub and can be a contact type water level sensor, which can transmit the sensed water level signal to the controller of the laundry treating apparatus and compare the water level signal with a preset signal. The water level sensor can be arranged in the tub in one or multiple numbers. The water level sensor abnormality includes power disconnection, loose connection, frequency abnormality, scale or dust coverage and other faults. When the water level sensor is abnormal, only one fault can occur or multiple faults can occur simultaneously. If the water level sensor in the tub is abnormal, the laundry treating apparatus cannot normally sense the water level information during operation, which can cause the door opening condition judgment to be incorrect. Therefore, the laundry treating apparatus cannot directly enter the child lock state and needs to be troubleshooting before the laundry treating apparatus can be controlled to work normally. In addition, when the temperature sensor, displacement sensor and other internal components of the laundry treating apparatus are faulty, the laundry treating apparatus can also be temporarily suspended. For example, the laundry treating apparatus has multiple temperature sensors. When one of the temperature sensors is faulty and the fault directly affects the judgment of the temperature in the tub, the laundry treating apparatus will be temporarily suspended and will not enter the child lock state.

[0089] For example, refer to 5, Figure 5 The flowchart of the control method of the laundry treating apparatus provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 5 If the preset unlocking instruction is received, the water level in the tub and the temperature in the tub are acquired.

[0090] 501. If the preset unlocking instruction is received, the contact area of the user with the preset function key is acquired, and the operator image is determined according to the contact area.

[0091] 502. If the operator is an adult, it is determined whether the water level in the tub is lower than a preset water level and whether the temperature is within a preset range.

[0092] 503. If the operator is a child, it is prompted that secondary verification is needed.

[0093] Specifically, if the operator is a child, it is prompted that secondary verification is needed, which includes:

[0094] 504. Secondary verification information is acquired, and it is determined whether the secondary verification information is consistent with the preset verification information.

[0095] 505. If the secondary verification is passed, it is determined whether the water level in the tub is lower than a preset water level and whether the temperature is within a preset range.

[0096] 506. If the secondary verification is not passed, it is determined that the preset unlocking instruction is an invalid instruction.

[0097] During the operation of the clothes treatment apparatus, even if the preset unlocking instruction is received, it is not determined whether the operator is an adult or a child. It can be understood that the finger contact area of the user on the function button is larger than that of a child, and the user can input the finger contact area in advance as an area threshold value. When the obtained contact area is less than the area contact value, it is determined that the operator is a child. In addition to the finger contact area, other biological information recognition methods such as face recognition, fingerprint recognition, and body shape recognition can also be used. In some embodiments, the preset unlocking instruction can also be a combination key, such as pressing the drying and rinsing keys together for 3 seconds. Those skilled in the art can set it according to the actual situation. In order to avoid misjudgment caused by improper user operation, if it is determined that the operator is a child, secondary verification is also required to determine whether it meets the preset verification information. The secondary verification can be password verification, verification code verification and the like. The preset verification information can be a password or verification code defined by an adult user, and only when the secondary verification information meets the preset verification information, it is determined that the operator is an adult. If the secondary verification is passed, it is further determined whether the water level in the tub is lower than the preset water level and whether the temperature is within the preset range. If the secondary verification is not passed, the preset unlocking instruction is invalid, and the clothes treatment apparatus still maintains the child lock state.

[0098] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 The control method of the clothes treatment apparatus provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown in the flowchart Figure 6 . Before obtaining the water level in the tub and the temperature in the tub, the control method comprises:

[0099] 601, obtaining the state of the tub;

[0100] 602, if the tub is in a rotating state or a drying state, the unlocking is prohibited;

[0101] 603, if the tub is not in a rotating state and is not in a drying state, it is determined whether the water level in the tub is lower than the preset water level and whether the temperature is within the preset range.

[0102] Specifically, when the tub is in a rotating state or a drying state, the user has a high risk of opening the door, and the laundry treatment apparatus cannot be unlocked. The rotating state includes a state in which the amount of water in the tub is small but the rotation has not stopped, and the drying state includes a state in which the drying process is completed but the temperature is still high. The tub is provided with a rotation speed sensor and a temperature sensor, and when it is detected that the tub is in a rotating state or a drying state, unlocking is prohibited. In some embodiments, the laundry treatment apparatus further includes a plurality of operating modes, and when the user releases the child lock, the laundry treatment apparatus can also be in other operating states, such as a sterilization state, a care state, etc., and unlocking is also prohibited until the other operating states are exited. Only when the laundry treatment apparatus is in a washing state and the tub is stationary, it can be further determined whether the water level in the tub is lower than a preset water level and whether the temperature is within a preset range.

[0103] The present application also provides a storage medium storing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed, implement the laundry treatment apparatus control method as described above.

[0104] The present application also provides a laundry treatment apparatus.
