[0043] With reference to the accompanying drawings, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of the present application. Meanwhile, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, the terms "first", "second", and the like are only used for distinguishing description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. Therefore, the features with "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more features. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more than two, unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0044] The embodiments of the present application provide a control method and device of a washing machine, the washing machine and a computer readable storage medium.

[0045] Specifically, the embodiments will be described from the perspective of a control device of a washing machine, which can be integrated in the washing machine, that is, the control method of the washing machine in the embodiments of the present application can be executed by the washing machine.

[0046] The embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the embodiments, the execution subject is taken as an example of the washing machine. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments is not limited as the preferred order of the embodiments. Although the 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 in the drawings.

[0047] According to the background art description, in the related art, a simple control logic is adopted, that is, the different drums of the double-drum washing machine are not controlled to perform heating or dehydration operation synchronously, but are controlled to perform heating or dehydration alternately, which leads to a low running efficiency of the washing machine.

[0048] To solve the above problems, the present application discloses a control method of a washing machine, please refer to Figure 1 The specific process of the control method of the washing machine can be as follows: step S10 to step S30, wherein:

[0049] Step S10, obtaining a first running state to be executed by a first drum of the washing machine, and a second running state of a second drum of the washing machine;

[0050] In the embodiment, the subject of the control method of the washing machine can be the washing machine, and the washing machine includes at least two barrels for loading articles to be washed. The two barrels can independently perform washing, and perform the same washing operation. The general washing operation includes a rinsing operation, a soaking operation, a dehydration operation, a heating operation, etc. Among them, the dehydration operation, the heating operation, etc. have large power, and in the related art, the washing machine cannot have more than two barrels simultaneously dehydrated or heated, so that the operation efficiency of the washing machine is reduced. In the embodiment, the washing operation of each barrel can be divided into a plurality of operation states, for example, the dehydration operation can be divided into a waiting state, an acceleration state and a deceleration state, and the heating state can be divided into a heating state.

[0051] The barrel that needs to switch the operation state is taken as a first barrel, and one or more barrels of the washing machine other than the first barrel are taken as second barrels. A first operation state to be performed by the first barrel of the washing machine and a second operation state being performed by the second barrel are obtained.

[0052] In step S20, if the second operation state is a target state, the first barrel is controlled to enter the first operation state.

[0053] In the embodiment, it is judged whether the second operation state is the target state of the first operation state. The total power value of the target state and the first operation state cannot be too large, otherwise, the reliability problem of the washing machine can occur, including that the total power value is too large to cause the circuit to be tripped, or when the two barrels perform the acceleration state of the dehydration mode, the total power value is too large to cause resonance to cause the barrel to collide, shift or even explode. The preset power is determined according to the operation type corresponding to the first operation state and the second operation state, for example, when the first operation state and the second operation state both correspond to the dehydration operation, the preset power needs to consider that the total power value is too large to cause the circuit to be tripped, and also needs to consider that the total power value is too large to cause resonance to cause the barrel to collide, so that the corresponding preset total power value can be smaller than the preset total power value when the first operation state and the second operation state both correspond to the heating operation.

[0054] If the second operation state is the target state corresponding to the first operation state, it indicates that the power during the operation of the two barrels will not exceed the preset power, and the two barrels can be synchronized, and then the first barrel can be controlled to enter the first operation state to perform the first operation state.

[0055] In step S30, if the second operation state is not the target state, the first barrel is controlled to enter the first operation state when the second barrel exits the second operation state, and the total power value of the target state and the first operation state is less than the preset power.

[0056] In the embodiment, if the second operation state is not the target state corresponding to the first operation state, it indicates that the power of the two operation states exceeds the preset power, and the two operation states can be performed asynchronously, the second drum can be controlled to maintain the current operation state or enter the waiting state, and when the second drum exits the second operation state, the first drum is controlled to enter the first operation state, so as to ensure the normal operation of the washing machine.

[0057] In the technical features disclosed in the embodiment, the first operation state to be performed by the first drum of the washing machine and the second operation state of the second drum of the washing machine are obtained; if the second operation state is a target state, the first drum is controlled to enter the first operation state; if the second operation state is not the target state, the first drum is controlled to enter the first operation state when the second drum exits the second operation state, and the power total value of the target state and the first operation state is less than a preset power. In this way, the operation process of each drum is divided into multiple operation states, and when the first drum is to perform the first operation state, it is determined whether the second operation state of the second drum is the target state of the first operation state, and then the second operation state is selected to end or the first drum is immediately controlled to enter the second operation state, and the power total value of the target state and the first operation state is less than the preset power, so that the operation efficiency of the multi-drum washing machine is improved while the reliability of the washing machine is ensured.

[0058] Further, before step S10, the method further comprises:

[0059] obtaining each operation state of the first drum and each matching combination of the operation states of the second drum;

[0060] for each matching combination, determining a power total value corresponding to the matching combination according to the running power of the operation state of the first drum in the matching combination and the running power corresponding to the operation state of the second drum;

[0061] the matching combination corresponding to the power total value less than the preset power is taken as a target matching combination, and the target matching combination is saved, and the operation state of the first drum and the operation state of the second drum in the target matching combination are target states of each other.

[0062] In the embodiment, the correspondence between the running states can be constructed in advance to quickly determine the target state corresponding to each running state. The washing operations that can be performed by each drum of the washing machine can be determined first, and then each running period can be divided according to the running parameters corresponding to the washing operations, and the difference between the running parameters in each running period is less than a preset difference. Then, each running period can be taken as a running state, and a corresponding state identifier can also be set for each running period to distinguish different running states. The running state can be determined according to the identifier of the drum, the identifier of the corresponding washing operation, and the timing of the running period in the washing operation. For the running state corresponding to each drum, the running state can be matched with the running state of other drums to obtain a matching combination of the running states between different drums. For example, the first drum can perform m running states, and the second drum can perform n running states, and m*n matching combinations can be obtained. The matching combinations can also be preliminarily filtered according to the user setting information. For example, the user sets that the two drums do not perform heating operation and rinsing operation at the same time, and the matching combinations of the running states corresponding to the heating operation and the running states corresponding to the rinsing operation are filtered out. For each matching combination, the running power corresponding to the running state of the first drum in the matching combination and the power total value of the running power corresponding to the running state of the second drum can be calculated. Then, the power total value corresponding to each matching combination can be compared with the preset power corresponding to the operation combination, and the matching combination with a power total value less than the preset power is determined as a target matching combination. The running state of the first drum and the running state of the second drum in the target matching combination can be target states of each other. Before determining whether the second running state is the target state of the first running state, the target state of the first running state can be determined according to the target matching combination in which the first running state is located, and whether the second running state belongs to the target states can be determined. In this way, by pre-storing the target matching combination, the target state of the first running state can be quickly determined, and whether the second running state is the target state of the first running state can be quickly determined, thereby improving the efficiency of determining the relationship between the first running state and the second running state and improving the running efficiency of the washing machine.

[0063] Further, before step S20, the method further comprises:

[0064] obtaining a third running state to be performed by the second drum in a preset period;

[0065] if the third running state is the target state, performing the control of entering the first drum into the first running state;

[0066] If the third operation state is not the target state, a first waiting time for the first cylinder to enter the first operation state and a second waiting time for the second cylinder to enter the third operation state are obtained, and according to a comparison result of the first waiting time and the second waiting time, the first cylinder is controlled to enter the first operation state or the second cylinder is controlled to enter the third operation state.

[0067] In the embodiment, the second cylinder also needs to switch the operation state, and the second cylinder can switch the operation state at the same time or within a short interval of time as the first cylinder. It is checked whether the second cylinder has the need to switch the operation state in a preset period of time. If yes, a third operation state to be executed by the second cylinder is obtained. If the third operation state is also the target state of the first operation state, the two cylinders can be operated at the same time, the first cylinder can directly enter the first operation state, and when the second cylinder needs to enter the third operation state, the second cylinder can be updated to the first cylinder. After the judgment, the first operation state is also the target state of the third operation state, and the third operation state can be entered.

[0068] If the third operation state is not the target state, a first waiting time for the first cylinder to enter the first operation state and a second waiting time for the second cylinder to enter the third operation state are obtained. The first waiting time and the second waiting time are compared, and the cylinder with the longest waiting time is determined as the target cylinder. The target cylinder can be controlled to enter the operation state to be executed. If the first waiting time is greater than the second waiting time, the first cylinder is controlled to enter the first operation state. If the first waiting time is less than the second waiting time, the second cylinder is controlled to enter the third operation state.

[0069] In this way, when the first cylinder and the second cylinder both have the operation state to be executed, the first cylinder or the second cylinder can be selected to enter the operation state to be executed according to the comparison result of the waiting times of the two cylinders, so that the operation efficiency of each cylinder can be improved.

[0070] Further, before step S10, the method further includes:

[0071] obtaining an operation power corresponding to the first operation state;

[0072] If the operation power is less than the minimum safe power, the first cylinder is controlled to enter the first operation state.

[0073] In the embodiment, for some running states, the power is very low or equal to zero, for example, entering the pause state or the pause state required by the dehydration operation to accelerate to the minimum safe rotating speed, and such running state is difficult to affect the normal operation of the washing machine due to the low power, and the first cylinder can be directly controlled to enter such running state. Before obtaining the second running state, the running power corresponding to the first running state can be compared with the minimum safe power of the washing machine or the corresponding operation, and if the running power corresponding to the first running state is less than the minimum safe power, the running state of the other cylinder can not be considered, and the first cylinder is directly controlled to enter the first running state, so that the running efficiency of the washing machine can be further improved.

[0074] Optionally, with reference to Figure 2 , based on any of the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the control method of the washing machine of the application, before the step S30, the method further comprises:

[0075] S40, obtaining the first running parameter corresponding to the first running state and the second running parameter corresponding to the second running state;

[0076] In the embodiment, the first running state and the second running state both have corresponding running parameters, and the running of the corresponding cylinder can be controlled. If the second running state is not the target state, before the first cylinder is controlled to wait for the end of the second running state, the first running parameter corresponding to the first running state and the second running parameter corresponding to the second running state can be obtained. For some running parameters, the running power can be changed without changing the running state by adjusting, for these adjustable running parameters, adjustment can be tried to make both cylinders run in the first running state and the second running state.

[0077] Exemplarily, for the first state and the second state, both are heating states, the power of both is too high to be the target state of each other, but the heating parameter of the heating state is an adjustable parameter, with reference to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is the heating circuit of the first cylinder and the second cylinder, wherein the on-off control of the heaters H1, H2, H3, H4 can be realized by controlling the relays K1, K3, so as to realize the adjustment control of the heating parameter, the local short-circuit current limiting control of the heaters H3, H4 is realized by the current limiting relays K2, K4, and by controlling the running parameters such as the number of power supply of the heaters, the current, the running state of the initial non-target state of each other can be realized.

[0078] S50. If the first operating parameter and the second operating parameter are adjustable operating parameters, then adjust the first operating parameter and the second operating parameter, and control the first cylinder to enter the first operating state according to the adjusted first operating parameter, and control the second cylinder to run the second operating state according to the adjusted second operating parameter, wherein the total power of the adjusted first operating state and the adjusted second operating state is less than the preset power.

[0079] In this embodiment, if the first operating parameter and / or the second operating parameter are adjustable operating parameters, the first operating parameter and the second operating parameter are adjusted until the total power of the adjusted first operating state and the adjusted second operating state is less than the preset power. The first cylinder is controlled to enter the first operating state with the adjusted operating parameters, and the second cylinder is controlled to run in the second operating state with the adjusted operating parameters.

[0080] S60. If neither the first operating parameter nor the second operating parameter is an adjustable operating parameter, then the control is executed so that the first cylinder enters the first operating state when the second cylinder exits the second operating state.

[0081] In this embodiment, if neither the operating parameter corresponding to the operating state of the first operating parameter nor the second operating parameter is an adjustable operating parameter, the operating power cannot be changed. Therefore, the first cylinder is controlled to enter the first operating state only when the second cylinder exits the second operating state.

[0082] In the technical solution disclosed in this embodiment, the operating parameters of the operating state are adjusted first so that the first operating state and the second operating state can operate simultaneously, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the washing machine.

[0083] Furthermore, after step S50, the following steps are also included:

[0084] If the first cylinder exits the first operating state, the second cylinder is controlled to operate with the operating parameters before the adjustment of the first operating state;

[0085] If the second cylinder exits the second operating state, the first cylinder is controlled to operate with the operating parameters before the adjustment of the first operating state.

[0086] In the embodiment, if the first operating parameter and the second operating parameter are adjusted and the first operating state and the second operating state are simultaneously operated, the operating effect of one or more of the barrels may decrease. The first barrel and the second barrel are monitored in real time. If the first barrel meets the set target of the first operating state or for other reasons, the first barrel exits the first operating state, and the second barrel can be restored to the operating parameter before the second operating state is adjusted. Conversely, if the second barrel meets the set target of the second operating state or for other reasons, the second barrel exits the second operating state, and the first barrel can be restored to the operating parameter before the first operating state is adjusted. It should be noted that the operating state to be executed is determined after the operating state is exited. In this way, after another barrel exits the operating state, the other barrel can be restored to the operating state with higher efficiency under the operating parameter, and the operating efficiency of the multi-barrel washing machine can be improved.

[0087] Further, before step S50, the method further comprises:

[0088] obtaining a remaining execution time of the second operating state;

[0089] if the remaining execution time is less than a preset time, performing the control of the first barrel entering the first operating state when the second barrel exits the second operating state;

[0090] if the remaining execution time is greater than or equal to the preset time, performing the adjustment of the first operating parameter and the second operating parameter.

[0091] In the embodiment, the operating time of each operating state can be fixed. For any operating state being executed, the corresponding remaining operating time can be queried. The remaining execution time of the second operating state is obtained. If the remaining execution time is greater than or equal to the preset time, it indicates that the second barrel still needs a period of time to exit the second operating state. In the case that the first operating parameter of the first operating state or the second operating parameter of the second operating state is an adjustable operating parameter, step S50 can be performed. If the remaining execution time is less than the preset time, it indicates that the second barrel will exit the second operating state soon. The first barrel can be controlled to wait for the preset operating time. When the remaining execution time of the second operating state is zero, the second barrel exits the second operating state, and the first barrel can be controlled to enter the first operating state. In this way, the second operating state is avoided from being frequently started and stopped or adjusted, which can save power consumption on the one hand and improve operating efficiency on the other hand.

[0092] For better understanding, the following provides application scenarios. In the two scenarios, the barrels include an acceleration state of a dehydration operation, a waiting state of the dehydration operation, a deceleration state of the dehydration operation, and a heating state of a heating operation. Referring to the following table, indicates that the two are target states of each other:

[0093] Accelerating state Waiting state Decelerating state Heating state Accelerating state √ √ Waiting state √ √ √ Decelerating state √ √ √ Heating state

[0094] Take the first cylinder (A cylinder) in turn to perform the dehydration operation of the acceleration state - waiting state - acceleration state as an example:

[0095] Referring to Figure 4 When the A cylinder enters the acceleration operation of the dehydration operation, it is necessary to first determine the second running state of the B cylinder. If the second running state is the heating state in the heating operation, the B cylinder is waited to end heating. If the A cylinder to be executed needs to accelerate to 400 RPM, 400 RPM is the safe rotating speed, and the power corresponding to this operation is less than the minimum safe power corresponding to the dehydration operation. The A cylinder can be controlled to enter, and after the execution of this acceleration state is completed, the A cylinder needs to execute the waiting state. The A cylinder can enter in any running state of the B cylinder corresponding to the dehydration operation, and the A cylinder executes the waiting state after waiting for at least a preset time. The acceleration state to be executed has a power greater than the minimum safe power. If the B cylinder is in the waiting state at this time, but the B cylinder also needs to enter the acceleration state with a power greater than the minimum safe power within the preset time, the waiting time TA and TB of the two cylinders currently waiting to enter the joining state are obtained, the cylinder with the longest waiting time is selected to enter the acceleration state, and finally the A cylinder ends the dehydration operation.

[0096] Take the first cylinder (A cylinder) to execute the heating state as an example:

[0097] Referring to Figure 5 The A cylinder enters the heating state, and it is determined whether the B cylinder is in any state of the dehydration operation. If yes, the state of the B cylinder is not the target state, and the dehydration parameter is not an adjustable parameter. Then wait for the B cylinder to end the dehydration. If no, it is further determined whether the B cylinder is in the heating state. If the B cylinder is not in the heating state, the A cylinder normally enters the heating state. If the B cylinder is in the heating state, and the heating parameter corresponding to the heating state is an adjustable parameter, the heating parameters of the A and B cylinders are adjusted to realize synchronous heating. Referring to Figure 3Heating circuit of the first cylinder and the second cylinder, wherein, the on-off control of the heaters H1, H2, H3, H4 can be realized by controlling the relays K1, K3. The cylinder A corresponds to the heaters H1 and H2, and the cylinder B corresponds to the heaters H3 and H4. Before the cylinder A is heated, K1 and K4 are disconnected, and K3 is connected, and the cylinder B is heated by H1 and H2. If the cylinder A enters the heating state, the corresponding heating states of the cylinder A and the cylinder B are changed to only one heater for heating, so as to realize reliable heating. At this time, SK1, SK2, K1, K2, K3 and K4 are all closed, the current flows in H1 and H3, H2 and H4 are locally short-circuited. If the temperature detector S1 detects that the temperature of the cylinder A reaches the threshold value, and the temperature detector S2 detects that the temperature of the cylinder B does not reach the threshold value, the cylinder A which reaches the threshold value exits the heating state and enters the standby state, K1 is disconnected, and the cylinder B returns to the heating parameters before the adjustment of the heating state, K4 is disconnected, until the heating of the cylinder B is completed.

[0098] The embodiment also provides a control device of a washing machine, which can be integrated in the washing machine. For example, as shown in Figure 6 The control device of the washing machine can include:

[0099] The acquisition module 1001 is configured to acquire a first running state to be executed by a first cylinder of the washing machine and a second running state of a second cylinder of the washing machine.

[0100] The control module 1002 is configured to control the first cylinder to enter the first running state if the second running state is a target state, and control the first cylinder to enter the first running state when the second cylinder exits the second running state if the second running state is not the target state, wherein a total power value of the target state and the first running state is less than a preset power.
