[0033] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequential order. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in a sequence other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0035] According to an embodiment of the present application, an embodiment of a method for controlling a clothing processing device is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0037] S101, obtaining actual pressure parameters of the door.

[0038] In one embodiment, a laundry processing device is provided with a door through which a partial or complete load, such as clothing, is placed into a processing tub. During the laundry processing process, such as during the washing or rinsing process, the door must be closed to prevent water or clothing from overflowing from the processing tub. Therefore, during the washing or rinsing process, the load in the processing tub exerts a certain pressure on the door, and the actual pressure parameter of the door can be obtained using a detection instrument.

[0039] It should be noted that the actual pressure parameter refers to the pressure value of the door obtained by actual detection, and the actual pressure parameter is continuously obtained according to a preset collection cycle.

[0040] S102: Adjust washing parameters according to a comparison between the actual pressure parameter and a preset rated pressure parameter.

[0041] In one embodiment, a rated pressure parameter is pre-set. Specifically, the rated pressure parameter can be obtained through experimentation and is intended to reflect the pressure-bearing capacity of the door. For example, in one application scenario, if the pressure on the door exceeds the rated pressure parameter, the door is leaking; in another application scenario, if the pressure on the door exceeds the rated pressure parameter, it indicates that the load is squeezing the door. Therefore, the specific value of the rated pressure parameter can be changed as needed and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0042] In one embodiment, the actual pressure parameter is compared with the rated pressure parameter, and the comparison result can reflect the degree to which the door is squeezed by the load; for example, if the comparison result indicates that the actual pressure parameter is less than the rated pressure parameter, it can reflect that the door is squeezed by a smaller load and is less likely to overflow; if the comparison result indicates that the actual pressure parameter is greater than the rated pressure parameter, it can reflect that the door is squeezed by a larger load and is very likely to overflow. Therefore, according to the comparison result, the washing parameters can be adjusted to reduce the pressure on the door. Specifically, for example, the water volume or motor speed in the clothing processing device can be adjusted. This embodiment does not specifically limit which washing parameters to adjust and how to adjust the washing parameters. The purpose is to reduce the pressure on the door when the actual pressure parameter is greater than the rated pressure parameter.

[0043] Through the above steps, while the laundry treatment device is processing laundry, the actual pressure parameters of the laundry treatment device door are obtained. The actual pressure parameters can be used to determine the pressure applied to the door. Washing parameters are then adjusted based on a comparison between the actual pressure parameters and the rated pressure parameters. When the actual pressure parameters exceed the rated pressure parameters, the washing parameters can be promptly adjusted, thereby helping to alleviate the pressure applied to the door or preventing overflow even when the door is under excessive pressure, thereby improving the washing effect.

[0044] In another embodiment of the present application, adjusting the washing parameters according to the comparison between the actual pressure parameter and the preset rated pressure parameter includes:

[0045] When the actual pressure parameter exceeds the rated pressure parameter, the amount of washing water of the laundry processing device is adjusted.

[0046] In one embodiment, when adjusting wash parameters, the amount of wash water in the laundry treatment apparatus is adjusted. When the actual pressure parameter exceeds the rated pressure parameter, it indicates that the pressure on the door has exceeded a safety threshold, posing a risk of water overflow. The wash water volume is adjusted to evenly distribute the laundry in the laundry treatment apparatus, thereby reducing pressure on the door, or to ensure that the laundry absorbs sufficient wash water, making it easier for the laundry to move and reducing pressure on the door.

[0047] Through the above steps, the pressure on the machine door is reduced by adjusting the amount of washing water, which is simple and convenient, and is unlikely to have a negative impact on the washing condition of the clothes. It also makes it difficult for water in the clothes processing equipment to overflow, thereby improving the washing effect.

[0048] In another embodiment of the present application, the adjusting the washing water volume of the laundry processing device includes:

[0049] The water level is adjusted using the acquired actual pressure parameter and the actual load parameter of the load, wherein the water level increases as the actual pressure parameter and / or the actual load parameter increases.

[0050] In one embodiment, the amount of washing water is adjusted by adjusting the water level, that is, increasing the water level will increase the amount of washing water, and lowering the water level will reduce the amount of washing water. The water level is directly proportional to the amount of washing water.

[0051] In another embodiment, when the water level needs to be adjusted, it is necessary to obtain an actual pressure parameter and an actual load parameter. The actual load parameter refers to the total weight of the load in the laundry processing device. Specifically, the load in the laundry processing device includes laundry, wash water, detergent, etc., and should at least include laundry and water. This embodiment does not specifically limit this, and the load items can be set according to actual conditions.

[0052] The actual load parameter can be obtained using a sensor or weighing instrument, or calculated based on input, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this. For example, in one embodiment, after the user inputs the weight of the clothing, the weight of the water output is calculated based on the water intake. The actual load parameter is obtained by adding the weight of the clothing and the weight of the water. Furthermore, the frequency and period of collecting the actual load parameter can be the same as or different from that of the actual pressure parameter, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0053] It should be noted that during the laundry processing process, the actual pressure parameter is obtained every preset time period to determine whether the water level needs to be adjusted. Whenever the washing height needs to be adjusted, the actual pressure parameter and the actual load parameter are updated to ensure the accuracy of the adjusted water level.

[0054] Through the above steps, when adjusting the washing water volume, the actual pressure parameters and the actual load parameters are taken into consideration at the same time, so that the adjusted washing water volume, that is, the water level height is more accurate, which can not only prevent the machine door from overflowing, but also ensure the processing quality of the clothes.

[0055] In another embodiment of the present application, the adjusting the water level using the acquired actual pressure parameter and the actual load parameter of the load includes:

[0056] The adjusted water level height is calculated using the formula H=K1*F+K2*M to adjust the water level height, where H is the adjusted water level height, K1 is the pressure coefficient, F is the actual pressure parameter, K2 is the load coefficient, and M is the actual load parameter.

[0057] In one embodiment, the value of K1 varies with changes in F, and the value of K2 varies with changes in M. Specifically, when F>50N, K1 is set to 0.8; when 50N>F>20N, K1 is set to 0.5; when F<20N, K1 is set to 0.3; when M is between 80% and 90% of the rated load parameter, K2 is set to 0.5; when M exceeds 90% of the rated load parameter, K2 is set to 0.8.

[0058] Through the above steps, the water level calculation process is simple and reasonable, which helps reduce computing resource usage while ensuring the rationality of the water level, making it less likely for the door to overflow. In addition, K1 and K2 can be adaptively adjusted, further improving the accuracy of the water level.

[0059] In another embodiment of the present application, after calculating the adjusted water level using the formula H=K1*F+K2*M, the method further includes:

[0060] Compare the adjusted water level height H with the current actual water level height. If the adjusted water level height H is greater than or equal to the current actual water level height, switch the washing mode or do not adjust the water level height; if the adjusted water level height H is less than the current actual water level height, control the water inlet.

[0061] In one embodiment, after calculating the adjusted water level using a formula, the calculated adjusted water level may be lower than the actual current water level. This indicates that the current wash mode is unsuitable and requires a different wash mode, specifically a gentle wash mode. In other words, there is no need to adjust the water level; instead, a different wash mode that reduces door pressure is selected. The specific mode is not specifically limited in this embodiment. Alternatively, the wash cycle can be stopped to prevent door damage or water overflow.

[0062] In another embodiment of the present application, after adjusting the water level using the acquired actual pressure parameter and the actual load parameter of the load, the method further includes:

[0063] When the number of times the water level is adjusted exceeds a preset first threshold, the motor of the clothes processing device is controlled to drive the load to swing.

[0064] In one embodiment, if the actual pressure parameter still exceeds the rated pressure parameter after multiple water level adjustments, the motor is controlled to drive the load to swing after the water level is adjusted. The first numerical threshold value can be 1 or 3, and this embodiment does not specifically limit this and can be set according to actual needs.

[0065] Specifically, controlling the motor to cause the load to swing involves switching the drive motor of the treatment barrel's forward and reverse rotations, causing the barrel to swing, and thus the load within it to swing. In one application scenario, the amplitude of the load's swing gradually increases. The motor-driven rotation angle of the treatment barrel increases from small to large, and the frequency of the forward and reverse switching increases from slow to fast.

[0066] Through the above steps, after the load swings, it helps to improve the fusion efficiency of clothes and water, so that the clothes can fully absorb water. At the same time, it helps to distribute the clothes more evenly in the treatment barrel, reducing the squeezing of the machine door.

[0067] In another embodiment of the present application, after adjusting the water level using the acquired actual pressure parameter and the actual load parameter of the load, the method further includes:

[0068] S601: Obtain the water inflow during the process of adjusting the water level and / or re-obtain the actual load parameters.

[0069] Among them, the water inflow can be obtained based on the change in water level height, which will not be described in detail.

[0070] S602, adjusting the water temperature parameters and the amount of detergent added according to the water inflow, and / or

[0071] The washing intensity and motor speed are adjusted according to the retrieved actual load parameters.

[0072] Through the above steps, after adjusting the water level, changing the water temperature, detergent dosage, etc. will help improve the washing effect of clothes and ensure the washing quality.

[0073] In another embodiment of the present application, after adjusting the washing water volume of the laundry processing device when the actual pressure parameter exceeds the rated pressure parameter, the method further includes:

[0074] S701, calculating the number of times the washing water volume of the clothes processing device is adjusted.

[0075] In one embodiment, each time the amount of washing water in the laundry processing apparatus is adjusted, the number of times is accumulated and added by one.

[0076] S702: When the number of times the washing water volume of the laundry processing device is adjusted exceeds a preset second threshold, washing is stopped and a reminder message is output.

[0077] In one embodiment, the second numerical threshold can be set according to actual conditions, such as 3, 4 or 5, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0078] Through the above steps, if the washing water volume is adjusted multiple times but the actual pressure parameters still exceed the rated pressure parameters, it proves that the problem of water overflow from the machine door cannot be solved by itself. At this time, stopping washing and giving a reminder will help reduce the probability of water overflow.

[0079] In another embodiment of the present application, before obtaining the actual pressure parameter of the door, the method further includes:

[0080] S801, obtaining the actual operation stage of the clothes processing device.

[0081] In one embodiment, the clothes processing device has multiple operation stages, such as a water intake stage, a soaking stage, a washing stage, a rinsing stage, etc. The current operation stage of the clothes processing device is the actual operation stage.

[0082] S802: When the actual operation stage is the stage before washing begins, pre-processing the load according to a comparison between the actual load parameter and the preset rated load parameter.

[0083] In one embodiment, all stages before the start of the wash stage are considered pre-wash stages. If the actual load parameter exceeds 80% of the rated load parameter, the load is pre-conditioned. It should be noted that it may also exceed 90% or 100% of the rated load parameter, and this embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0084] Pre-treating the load involves soaking, rinsing or spraying with softener, with the aim of reducing the pressure of the clothes on the door.

[0085] Through the above steps and pretreatment, it helps to reduce the pressure on the machine door in advance, reduce the probability of overflow, and ensure the washing effect.

[0086] For ease of understanding, Figure 2 As shown, before washing begins, it is determined whether the weight M of the laundry (i.e., the actual load parameter) exceeds the set value (i.e., the rated load parameter);

[0087] If the rated load parameters are exceeded, pre-treat the clothes, such as soaking;

[0088] If the rated load parameters are not exceeded, the washing phase begins.

[0089] After entering the washing stage, it is determined whether the pressure F (i.e., the actual pressure parameter) exceeds the set value (i.e., the rated pressure parameter);

[0090] If the rated pressure parameter is exceeded, it will remind you that the clothes are overloaded;

[0091] Then adjust the water level H = K1*F+K2*M;

[0092] Adjust the washing parameters according to the calculated water level; wherein the washing parameters include water level, washing time, washing intensity, water temperature, detergent addition amount, etc.

[0093] Determine whether the risk number (i.e., the number of times F exceeds the rated pressure parameter) is greater than the set value (i.e., the second number threshold);

[0094] If the second number threshold is exceeded, washing will be stopped and an alarm will be sent;

[0095] If the second count threshold is not exceeded, washing is performed.

[0096] If the rated pressure parameters are not exceeded, wash.

[0097] Furthermore, in one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, if the actual pressure parameter F exceeds the rated pressure parameter, a reminder message is sent and it is determined whether the user terminates the washing.

[0098] If the user feedback indicates that the washing should be terminated, then the washing process is ended; otherwise, the washing parameters are adjusted.

[0099] An embodiment of the present application also provides a controller that uses the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment control method to control the operation of the clothing processing equipment.

[0100] An embodiment of the present application also provides a clothing processing device, including the controller described above.

[0101] In one embodiment, the laundry processing device includes a load display module for displaying actual load parameters and maximum load parameters, so that the user can reasonably arrange washing according to the amount of laundry and avoid accumulation of laundry.

[0102] The laundry treating appliance further includes a weight sensor for measuring complex weight and a pressure sensor for measuring door pressure.
