[0041] Embodiment 1

[0042] Reference Figures 1-2 For the first embodiment of the present application, a laundry cleaning feedback method based on light sensing is provided, and the operation steps of the method are as follows:

[0043] S1: Soak a plurality of groups of clothes with different cleaning degrees for the same time.

[0044] Specifically, some dirty clothes, such as pens, oil, and stained clothes, are collected, and then divided into 11 groups according to different cleaning degrees, and the cleaning degrees are 1%, 5%, 15%, 25%, 35%, 45%, 55%, 65%, 75%, 85%, and 95%, and the mass of each group of clothes is about 1 kg.

[0045] Put each group of clothes into 11 same type of barrels respectively, and add 10 liters of water to each barrel respectively for soaking for five minutes.

[0046] Further, stir the clothes soaking water (simulate the dehydration of a washing machine), and take out 1 liter of water from each barrel as a sample detection water during stirring and put it into a transparent plastic container.

[0047] S2: After a period of soaking, the light transmittance of the soaking sewage is calculated by the measuring feedback device 200 to determine the amount of laundry detergent to be added.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 Specifically, the sample water is irradiated by an LED lamp with a power of 0.1 W, and the light flux is 9-10 Lm, and then the light flux is received by a light flux meter to measure the light flux of different cleaning degrees.

[0049] The above experiment is repeated 11 times, and the results are recorded, and according to the observation results, it is determined which light flux is most suitable for each cleaning degree, and is recorded.

[0050] Specifically, the mass of the above-mentioned 11 groups of clothes is about 1 kg, and according to the above experiment, the 11 groups of clothes with different cleaning degrees respectively represent light fluxes of 0.2 Lm, 1.3 Lm, 2.4 Lm, 3.5 Lm, 4.6 Lm, 5.7 Lm, 6.8 Lm, 7.6 Lm, 8 Lm, 8.3 Lm and 8.35 Lm.

[0051] Further, 8 groups of different amounts of laundry detergent are prepared, and the amounts are 5ml, 10ml, 15ml, 20ml, 25ml, 30ml, 35ml, and 40ml respectively. Different amounts of laundry detergent are put into clothes of each cleaning degree, for example, dirty clothes of the same cleaning degree are taken, and 5ml, 10ml, 15ml, 20ml, 25ml, 30ml, 35ml, and 40ml of laundry detergent are put into them respectively.

[0052] Preferably, the above 11 groups of clothes are put into the washing machine together with the soaking water and the laundry detergent respectively, the washing machine is set to the direct cleaning mode, and then started.

[0053] Further, after the washing is completed, all the washed clothes are dried, and then the cleaning degree of each sample is observed. According to the observation result, it is determined which amount of laundry detergent is most suitable for clothes of each cleaning degree, and recorded.

[0054] Referring to the following table: relationship table of light flux and laundry detergent amount

[0055]

[0056] Through the experimental data, it can be found that for clothes with light flux of 0-4Lm, 30ml of laundry detergent can achieve satisfactory washing effect; for clothes with light flux of 4-6Lm, 20ml of laundry detergent is enough to clean; for clothes with light flux of 6-8Lm, 15ml of laundry detergent can achieve clean effect; and for clothes with light flux greater than 8Lm, there is no need to clean.

[0057] S3: The amount of laundry detergent determines the cleaning time.

[0058] Referring to the following table: cleaning time determination table

[0059]

[0060] For light flux of 0-2Lm, 30ml of laundry detergent is put in, and the washing time is 55min; for light flux of 2-4Lm, 30ml of laundry detergent is put in, and the washing time is 45min; for light flux of 4-6Lm, 20ml of laundry detergent is put in, and the washing time is 30min; for light flux of 6-8Lm, 15ml of laundry detergent is put in, and the washing time is 15min.

[0061] S4: After the laundry detergent is put in, the clothes are cleaned by the cleaning device 100 according to the washing time.

[0062] S5: After the cleaning is completed, the light flux of the soaking sewage is measured again, the clothes that meet the cleaning standard are stopped from cleaning, and the clothes that do not meet the requirement continue to calculate the light flux, determine the washing time and the amount of laundry detergent, and continue to clean until the clothes are clean.

[0063] Embodiment 2

[0064] With reference to Figures 3-5 For the second embodiment of the present application, which is different from the first embodiment, a laundry cleaning feedback device based on light sensing is provided, which is based on the laundry cleaning feedback method based on light sensing of the above embodiment, and further comprises: a cleaning device 100 comprising an external box 101 and a cleaning barrel 102, the cleaning barrel 102 being arranged in the external box 101, the cleaning device 100 adopting an existing structure of a washing machine, and the clothes to be cleaned only need to be put into the cleaning barrel 102.

[0065] The measuring feedback device 200 comprises a water storage box 201, a light source 202 and a light flux meter 203, the water storage box 201, the light source 202 and the light flux meter 203 are all arranged in the external box 101, the light source 202 and the light flux meter 203 are arranged at the bottom and the top of the water storage box 201 respectively, the water storage box 201 is made of transparent material, and when the light source 202 irradiates upward, it can irradiate into the light flux meter 203 through the water storage box 201.

[0066] The hydrophobic connecting device 300 comprises a first connecting end 301 and a second connecting end 302, one end of the first connecting end 301 is connected with a water pipe, a control valve is installed on the water pipe, the water pipe is connected with the cleaning barrel 102, the other end is connected with the second connecting end 302, the other end of the second connecting end 302 is connected with the water storage box 201, the other end of the water storage box 201 is also connected with a sewage pipe, and a control valve is connected on the sewage pipe.

[0067] The top of the external box 101 is connected with a putting box 101a and a control device 101b, the light flux meter 203 is electrically connected with the putting box 101a and the control device 101b, the control valves on the first connecting end 301 and the second connecting end 302 are connected with the control device 101b.

[0068] Compared with embodiment 1, specifically, the water storage box 201 is opened by the control device 101b to store water in the water storage box 201 through the water drainage connection device 300 below the washing barrel 102 until the water storage box 201 is full after starting washing. The control device 101b is composed of a control system and a control panel. The light flux meter is composed of a transmitter, a receiver, a detection circuit, a light intensity sensor and an integrating sphere. The change of the optical signal is converted into the change of the electrical signal, and the light flux is finally determined. Then the light flux, the washing liquid dispensing amount and the washing time are transmitted to the control panel in the control device. Finally, the washing liquid dispensing amount and the washing time are determined. The dispensing box 101a is controlled to open and close by the electrical signal sent by the control panel. The washing liquid is added into the washing barrel 102. The light flux meter 203 can quickly detect the change of the water quality and output the detection result in real time. The clothes cleaning state is controlled and understood in real time. The problems of sewage pollution caused by improper washing liquid dispensing and resource waste are solved. The functions of real-time detection of clothes cleaning degree, intelligent adjustment of washing liquid usage, precise control of washing time, energy saving and water resource saving are realized.

[0069] In the process of storing water in the water storage box 201, long-term use will cause dirt accumulation in the water storage box 201. This will reduce the transparency of the transparent water storage box 201. In the long run, the detection accuracy of the light flux meter 203 will be greatly reduced. Considering the cost problem, the water storage box 201 needs to be disassembled and cleaned. Therefore, the water storage box 201 and the washing barrel 102 need to be frequently disassembled and installed. The first connecting end 301 and the second connecting end 302 serve as connecting heads connected to each other, which can effectively solve the problem that the water storage box 201 and the washing barrel 102 need to be frequently disassembled and installed. Rapid connection and disconnection can be realized. The wool and other impurities in the sewage are collected, and the influence of these factors on the light flux meter 203 is reduced.

[0070] The remaining structure is the same as that of embodiment 1.

[0071] Embodiment 3

[0072] Refer to Figures 1-5 This is the third embodiment of the present application. The difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment is that the washing machine adopts a vertical drum washing machine and a horizontal drum washing machine. The operation steps are as follows:

[0073] Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 First, the clothes are put into the washing barrel 102 and the switch is turned on. The washing barrel 102 starts to fill water. The water filling time is one minute to ensure that all the clothes are submerged in water.

[0074] Then the control valve on the first connecting end 301 opens, the water in the washing barrel 102 soaked by the clothes will enter the water storage box 201, the control valve on the second connecting end 302 closes to make the water in the water storage box 201 full, the water storage box 201 uses the size of 50*100*50mm, and other appropriate sizes can also be used.

[0075] Further, the water in the water storage box 201 is full, the light source 202 is turned on, the water storage box 201 full of water can prevent the liquid flow from affecting the detection result of the light flux meter 203, the water storage box 201 uses polyethylene terephthalate material, and other transparent materials can also be used; the light source 202 uses a 0.1W led lamp, the light flux is 9-10Lm, and other small power light sources can also be selected, but the selection of the light flux meter must be changed according to the light flux, and the light flux meter 203 selects a TEMT6000 ambient light sensor;

[0076] Further, the light flux meter 203 determines the cleaning degree of the water quality according to the measurement of light, which will be described in detail with reference to Figure 2 Finally, the amount of laundry detergent and the washing time are determined, which will be described in detail with reference to 3 and Figure 4 .

[0077] Further, the control valve on the first connecting end 301 is closed, and the control valve on the second connecting end 302 is opened, so that the water in the water storage box 201 is discharged.

[0078] Further, the laundry detergent is added according to the result, and then the washing time is determined; the control panel displays the result that the light flux received by the light flux meter 203, the light flux is 0-4Lm, the laundry detergent is 30ml, the light flux is 5-6Lm, the laundry detergent is 20ml, the light flux is 6-8Lm, and the laundry detergent is 15ml; the control panel opens the dispensing box 101a, and the laundry detergent will flow into the washing barrel 102 from the dispensing box 101a, and is closed after reaching the quantitative amount.

[0079] Further, the washing barrel 102 starts washing, after the washing is completed, the control valve on the first connecting end 301 and the control valve on the second connecting end 302 are opened at the same time, the control valve on the second connecting end 302 is closed after the washing water is completely discharged, and the washing barrel 102 is continuously injected with clean water, at this time the water in the water storage box 201 will be full, the light source 202 is turned on, and the light flux meter 203 determines the cleaning degree of the water quality according to the measurement of light.

[0080] Further, the light flux meter 203 judges the cleaning degree of the water to be above 80% (the light flux of the light flux meter is above 8 Lm), if the cleaning degree of the water reaches the requirement, the washing barrel 102 will be dehydrated; if the cleaning degree of the water does not reach the requirement, the washing barrel 102 will close the control valve on the first connecting end 301, the washing barrel 102 starts to fill water, and then restarts the cleaning according to the above steps until the cleaning degree of the water reaches the requirement.

[0081] With reference to Figure 2 When the cleaning degree is between 0-60%, the cleaning efficiency of the washing barrel 102 is very high; when the cleaning degree is between 60%-80%, the cleaning degree of the washing barrel 102 decreases; when the cleaning degree is above 80%, the cleaning efficiency of the washing barrel 102 is low. Therefore, the laundry is stopped when the cleaning degree of the water is above 80%, which not only guarantees the cleaning of the clothes, but also reduces the resource waste caused by the low efficiency when the laundry continues.

[0082] The rest of the structure is the same as that of example 2.
