Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical equipment technology, specifically to a garment processing device and its control method and apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] Washing machines, washer-dryer combos, and other garment processing equipment have become indispensable household appliances. Using these devices to process clothes brings great convenience to users' lives.

[0003] In related technologies, clothing processing equipment typically washes clothes by adding detergent into the tank of the equipment and simultaneously adding water to a preset level. However, this method cannot effectively ensure that the detergent ingredients come into full contact with the clothes, nor is it conducive to generating washing foam, resulting in poor stain removal during the clothing processing process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, this application provides a control method, apparatus, electronic device and storage medium for a garment processing device, so as to at least solve the technical problem in the related art that the washing ingredients cannot be effectively brought into full contact with the garment, which is not conducive to the generation of washing foam and results in poor stain removal effect during the garment processing process.

[0005] According to a first aspect of the embodiments of this application, a control method for a clothing processing device is provided, comprising: introducing water into a clothing processing chamber; determining whether the water introduction starts or stops, and controlling the clothing processing device to dispense washing foam into a load in the clothing processing chamber.

[0006] According to a second aspect of the present application, a control device for a garment processing equipment is provided, comprising: a water inlet unit for introducing water into a garment processing chamber; and a dispensing unit for determining whether the water inlet starts or stops, and controlling the garment processing equipment to dispense washing foam into a load within the garment processing chamber.

[0007] According to a third aspect of the embodiments of this application, an electronic device is also provided, including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and the processor is configured to execute the control method of the clothing processing device of the first aspect through the computer program.

[0008] According to a fourth aspect of the embodiments of this application, a computer-readable storage medium is also provided, wherein a computer program is stored in the computer program, and the computer program is configured to execute the control method of the clothing processing device of the first aspect when running.

[0009] In this embodiment, by introducing water into the garment processing chamber and determining whether to start or stop the water inlet, the method of controlling the garment processing equipment to dispense washing foam into the load within the garment processing chamber, compared with related technologies that directly add detergent and water into the garment processing chamber for mixing, this application not only ensures that the detergent components in the detergent fully contact the stains on the garment, but also, based on the aforementioned method of introducing water first and then adding washing foam, reduces the garment's ability to absorb water from the washing foam, allowing more detergent solution to be applied to the garment surface and water surface to generate more foam, thus enhancing the foam generation effect. When the garment in the washing tub is wetted, its volume also decreases, facilitating subsequent washing foam coverage of more areas of the garment and improving the stain removal effect. Furthermore, based on the aforementioned method of simultaneous water inlet and washing foam dispensing, this application can also effectively shorten the time required to form the washing environment, facilitating the rapid formation of the conditions required for washing, thereby improving both the stain removal effect and the garment processing efficiency.

[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, 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 some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0022] Optionally, according to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, a control method for a garment processing device is provided. As an optional implementation, the control method for the garment processing device can be applied to, but is not limited to, [examples of such methods]. Figure 1 In the application environment shown, such as Figure 1 As shown, user 102 can interact with the clothing processing device 104. The clothing processing device 104 includes a memory 106 and a processor 108. In this embodiment, user device 104 may, but is not limited to, perform the following operations: introducing water into the clothing processing chamber of the clothing processing device 104; determining whether the water introduction starts or stops; and controlling the clothing processing device 104 to dispense washing foam into the load in the clothing processing chamber. The aforementioned clothing processing device 104 may be a washing machine, washer-dryer combo, or other various clothing processing devices. The above is merely an example, and no limitation is made in this embodiment.

[0023] In related technologies, clothing processing equipment typically washes clothes by adding detergent into the tank of the equipment and simultaneously adding water to a preset level. However, this method cannot effectively ensure that the detergent comes into full contact with the clothes, and because it cannot fully mix the detergent with the air, it is not conducive to the generation of washing foam, resulting in poor stain removal during the clothing processing process.

[0024] To address the aforementioned technical problems, as an optional implementation method, such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this application provides a control method for a garment processing device, including the following steps:

[0025] S202, water is introduced into the garment processing chamber.

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the aforementioned garment processing chamber includes a washing tub or a drying tub, etc. This embodiment uses a washing tub as an example for illustration and does not constitute any limitation. Upon receiving a water inlet command, the garment processing device can add water to the washing tub. The water inlet volume can be determined based on the load capacity or the water volume input by the user. Adding water to the washing tub ensures the garments are thoroughly wetted, improving the stain removal effect. It should be noted that the water inlet operation in this embodiment can be performed using a regular nozzle or a misting nozzle.

[0027] In some embodiments of this application, water is sprayed into the washing tub through an atomizing nozzle, and air is mixed into the water to form dense small bubbles, which can improve the wetting effect of water on clothes, thereby achieving the effect of saving water and shortening the wetting time.

[0028] S204, determine whether the water inlet starts or stops, and control the clothing processing equipment to deliver washing foam to the load in the clothing processing chamber.

[0029] Specifically, in some embodiments of this application, washing foam is dispensed into the load within the garment processing chamber via a dispensing component. The dispensing component includes a detergent mixing chamber for mixing detergent and water to form a detergent solution. This detergent solution is then dispensed as foam onto the load through an atomizing nozzle in the dispensing component. The load surface directly contacts the high-concentration foamy detergent solution, enhancing the washing effect on the clothes. Furthermore, the foam forms a foam film within the inner tub, which helps prevent the foamy detergent solution from flowing out of the inner tub, ensuring sufficient contact between the detergent solution and the clothes. The detergents used here include liquid detergents and / or solid detergents. Liquid detergents may include washing powder and fabric softener, while solid detergents may include laundry powder, solid detergents, and laundry pods. The load includes various garments or other items to be washed.

[0030] In existing garment processing equipment, detergent is typically added directly between the inner and outer drums, or sometimes directly onto the load. These methods fail to ensure effective contact between the detergent components and the garments, and they also struggle to mix in sufficient air, hindering foam formation and resulting in poor cleaning. This application, however, addresses this issue by first wetting the garments with water before adding the detergent foam. This reduces the garments' ability to absorb water from the foam, allowing more detergent solution to be applied to the garment and water surfaces, thus generating more foam and promoting its formation. Furthermore, by directly adding foam-like detergent to the load or water surface, this application increases the coverage area within the washing drum, thereby increasing the wetted area of ​​the garments and the contact area between the detergent solvent and the fabric. This ensures thorough contact between the detergent components and stains, improving the cleaning effect. Additionally, spraying the detergent solution in a mist or foam form onto the load minimizes the impact on existing foam formation. The mechanical force generated by the bursting of washing foam acts on the surface of clothes, further enhancing the stain removal effect. As the clothes in the washing tub become wet, their volume shrinks, making it easier for subsequent washing foam to cover more areas of the clothes, thus improving the stain removal effect.

[0031] In one or more embodiments, this application can also process clothes by simultaneously adding washing foam when water is introduced into the washing tub, for example, by simultaneously introducing water and adding washing foam into the washing tub through two supply pipes; based on the above method, this application can effectively shorten the time for the washing environment to be formed, which is conducive to quickly forming the conditions required for washing, and can improve the stain removal effect of clothes while also improving the efficiency of clothes processing.

[0032] As an alternative implementation method, such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, this application provides a control method for a garment processing device, including the following steps:

[0033] S302, control the water inlet valve to supply water into the clothing processing chamber through the first supply pipeline.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, the clothing processing equipment includes a water inlet valve and a dispensing device, wherein the dispensing device includes a first supply pipe. The outlet of the first supply pipe can be connected to the inner tub side of the washing tub door, or it can be configured to be connected to the inner tub of the washing tub.

[0035] In one example, the nozzle connected to the first supply line inside the washing tub can be an atomizing nozzle. The high-pressure water jet from the atomizing nozzle can generate additional mechanical force, which is beneficial for washing away stains on the load and improving the cleaning effect of the stains.

[0036] S304, determine whether the water inlet starts or stops, and control the clothing processing equipment to deliver washing foam to the load in the clothing processing chamber.

[0037] Step S304 above has been explained in the preceding text and will not be repeated here.

[0038] As an alternative implementation method, such as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, this application provides a control method for a garment processing device, including the following steps:

[0039] S402, control the water inlet valve to allow water to enter the space inside the door of the clothing processing equipment through the outlet of the first supply pipeline.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, when water is introduced into the garment processing chamber through the nozzle of the first supply pipe, it includes, but is not limited to, water entering the space inside the door of the garment processing device. In one example, the water inlet valve can be controlled to introduce water into the window of the garment processing device through the first supply pipe. This window can be the door glass of the garment processing device or other windows that allow observation of the washing status inside the washing tub. The outlet of the first supply pipe is positioned towards the door glass of the garment processing device. Introducing water into the window of the garment processing device through the first supply pipe not only rinses the door glass, improving its cleanliness, but also facilitates user observation of the washing status inside the washing tub, providing a better visual experience, increasing user satisfaction, and enhancing the user experience.

[0041] S404, determine whether water inlet starts or stops, and control the garment processing equipment to deliver washing foam to the load in the garment processing chamber.

[0042] Step S404 above has been explained in the preceding text and will not be repeated here.

[0043] In one or more embodiments, the above-mentioned water inlet into the clothing processing chamber includes:

[0044] The garment processing chamber is driven to rotate at a first rotational speed and / or a first beat, and water is synchronously introduced into the rotating garment processing chamber.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, when water is introduced into the garment processing chamber, the water is introduced synchronously while the washing tub rotates, ensuring that the water is evenly sprayed onto the load, thus fully wetting the garments and improving the stain removal effect. In one example, the first rotation speed can be 35 revolutions per minute, the rotation duration of the first cycle can be 20 seconds, and the stop duration of the first cycle can be 5 seconds. Driving the washing tub to rotate according to the first rotation speed and the first cycle, and synchronously introducing water into the washing tub, includes: controlling the washing tub to rotate at a uniform speed of 35 revolutions per minute while introducing water into the washing tub. The washing tub rotates at a uniform speed of 35 revolutions per minute for 20 seconds, stops for 5 seconds, and then continues to rotate at a cycle of 20 seconds of rotation followed by a 5-second stop.

[0046] As an alternative implementation method, such as Figure 5 As shown in the figure, this application provides a control method for a garment processing device, including the following steps:

[0047] S502, control the water inlet valve to supply water into the clothing processing chamber through the first supply pipeline.

[0048] S504, confirm that the water inlet has stopped, and control the water inlet valve to deliver washing foam to the load in the clothing processing chamber through the first supply pipeline.

[0049] Specifically, the first supply pipeline in this embodiment can also be used to dispense washing foam onto the load. Compared to related technologies where detergent and water are directly added to the garment processing chamber for mixing, this application's method of dispensing washing foam into the washing tub via the first supply pipeline involves dispensing a detergent solution in foam form into the garment processing chamber via the dispensing component. The washing foam adheres to the surface of the garment, enveloping it and reducing friction between the garment and the processing chamber, thus better protecting the garment. It also ensures that the detergent components in the detergent come into full contact with the stains, resulting in a more uniform detergent concentration and improved cleaning effect. Furthermore, this application's dispensing component can not only dispense washing foam into the garment processing chamber but also inject water, enabling the dispensing of two fluids with a single component. This simplifies the structure of the garment processing equipment and reduces its manufacturing cost.

[0050] As an alternative implementation method, such as Figure 6 As shown in the figure, this application provides a control method for a garment processing device, including the following steps:

[0051] S602, control the water inlet valve to supply water into the clothing processing chamber through the second supply pipeline;

[0052] S604, upon confirming the start of water inlet, control the water inlet valve to deliver washing foam to the load in the clothing processing chamber through the first supply pipeline.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the garment processing equipment includes a water inlet valve and a dispensing device, the dispensing device including a first supply pipe and a second supply pipe; while water is introduced into the washing tub through the second supply pipe, washing foam is simultaneously dispensed into the load in the washing tub through the first supply pipe; this can effectively shorten the time for the washing environment to be formed, which is conducive to quickly forming the conditions required for washing, and can improve the stain removal effect of clothes while also improving the efficiency of garment processing.

[0054] In one or more embodiments, the control water inlet valve dispenses washing foam into the load within the garment processing chamber via a first supply line, including:

[0055] The detergent is drawn from the detergent dispenser and injected into the first supply line at a preset dosage.

[0056] The water inlet valve is controlled to inject a first amount of water into the first supply pipeline. After mixing to form a detergent solution, the solution is sprayed into the garment processing chamber through the nozzle of the first supply pipeline to produce washing foam.

[0057] It should be noted that the detergent dispenser in this embodiment can be used to store liquid detergent. The detergent dispenser can automatically dispense detergent, for example, a laundry processing device can determine whether to perform multiple automatic detergent dispensings based on the load. In one example, the dispensing component includes a detergent dispensing pump, a detergent mixing chamber, and an atomizing nozzle. The detergent mixing chamber is connected to the detergent dispensing pump and the atomizing nozzle, respectively. The detergent dispensing pump draws a target amount of detergent from the detergent dispenser and dispenses it into the detergent mixing chamber. The water inlet valve is controlled to inject an appropriate amount of water into the detergent mixing chamber. After the detergent and the appropriate amount of water are mixed, a detergent solution is obtained. The detergent solution flows into the atomizing nozzle under the water pressure of the inlet water to form a mist of detergent solution or washing foam, which is then sprayed into the washing tub.

[0058] In one or more embodiments, dispensing washing foam into the load within the garment processing chamber includes:

[0059] Drive the garment processing chamber to rotate at a second rotation speed and / or a second beat, and dispense washing foam into the load inside the rotating garment processing chamber.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, after the water has entered the washing tub, the washing tub is driven to rotate for a preset duration according to a preset second rotation speed and / or second beat. This causes the load to tumble within the washing tub, resulting in a uniform distribution of foamy detergent solution on the load. Furthermore, the tumbling load collides with the inner wall of the washing tub, creating a tumbling force that helps loosen stains on the clothing. The detergent components in the detergent solution also come into contact with the stains, aiding in stain removal. Additionally, during the tumbling process, when the sprayed detergent foam impacts the surface of the load or the inner wall of the washing tub, more foam is generated, enriching the foam and further helping to protect the clothing.

[0061] In one example, the second rotation speed can be 45 revolutions per minute, the rotation duration of the second cycle can be 5 seconds, and the stop duration of the second cycle can be 5 seconds; driving the washing tub to rotate according to the second rotation speed and / or the second cycle for a preset duration includes: controlling the washing tub to rotate at a uniform speed of 45 revolutions per minute for 20 seconds and then stop for 5 seconds, and then continue to control the rotation of the washing tub with a cycle of rotating for 5 seconds and stopping for 5 seconds.

[0062] In one or more embodiments, determining to stop water intake and controlling the garment processing device to dispense washing foam into the load within the garment processing chamber includes:

[0063] Determine to stop water intake, and control the garment processing chamber to remain still or rotate for a preset soaking time;

[0064] Once the preset soaking time is reached, the garment processing device is controlled to dispense washing foam into the load within the garment processing chamber.

[0065] Specifically, in this embodiment, after stopping the water supply to the washing tub, controlling the washing tub to stand still or rotate for a preset soaking time allows the load to be completely wetted, reducing the load's ability to absorb water from the washing foam. This allows more detergent solution to be applied to the surface of the clothes and the water surface, generating more foam and enhancing the foam generation effect. When the clothes in the washing tub are wetted, their volume also shrinks, making it easier for subsequent washing foam to cover more areas of the clothes, resulting in a good cleaning effect for loads with heavy stains.

[0066] In one or more embodiments, water is introduced into the garment processing chamber, including:

[0067] The water inlet valve is opened to control the garment processing equipment to release a second amount of water into the garment processing chamber. The second amount of water is determined based on the load corresponding to the load.

[0068] Specifically, in this embodiment, after the water inlet valve is opened, the water intake per unit time is within a preset range. Before water is introduced into the washing tub through the aforementioned dispensing component, the required water intake (second water volume) for washing can be obtained based on the weight of the load. It is understood that the required second water volume can be obtained by controlling the opening time of the water inlet valve. In one example, the second water volume can be twice the weight of the load.

[0069] In one embodiment, the control method of the above-described garment processing equipment can be applied not only to the main washing stage of the load. When there are many stains on the load, in order to improve the cleaning effect of the load, the above-described control method can also be applied to the pre-treatment stage of the load. The pre-treatment stage is a pre-washing treatment of the load. After the pre-washing treatment is completed, the garment processing equipment is controlled to enter the main washing stage.

[0070] Based on the above embodiments, in one application embodiment, this application provides a control method for a garment processing device, including the following steps:

[0071] 1. Water is supplied to the washing tub through two supply pipes, with a water supply time of 15 seconds; one supply pipe injects water into the space between the inner and outer tubs of the washing tub after passing through the detergent box; the water nozzle of the other supply pipe is connected to the door glass of the washing tub, and the sprayed water can pre-wash the door glass.

[0072] 2. After confirming that the water inlet program is finished, open the main wash valve to introduce water into the liquid detergent box, and flush the detergent into the supply pipe connected to the water outlet nozzle and the door glass of the washing tub to mix and generate washing foam. Then spray the washing foam onto the load for washing.

[0073] In this embodiment, by adding water first and then adding washing foam, the clothes are pre-wetted. When washing foam is added after the clothes are wetted, the clothes' ability to absorb water from the foam is reduced, allowing more detergent solution to be applied to the surface of the clothes and water, thus generating more foam and improving the foam generation effect. Furthermore, using water first allows for pre-rinsing of residual stains on the washing tub door and other areas inside the tub. The reduced volume of wet clothes also helps the subsequent washing foam cover more areas of the clothes, improving the detergent's effectiveness.

[0074] In one application embodiment, this application provides a control method for a garment processing device, including the following steps: Figure 7 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0075] S1, if the user has not selected automatic detergent dispensing, confirm that the user has put the laundry detergent into the corresponding detergent dispenser.

[0076] S2 controls the water inlet valve to allow water to enter through the spray pipe and the detergent box containing laundry detergent, into the space between the inner and outer drums of the washing tub.

[0077] S3 controls the water inlet valve to supply water into the washing tub through the atomizing pipe to the set water level.

[0078] In this embodiment, when the user does not select automatic detergent dispensing, the water inlet valve is controlled to allow water to enter the garment processing chamber through the detergent dispenser. This ensures that the detergent can be flushed between the inner and outer drums of the washing tub, allowing the detergent to be pre-dissolved between the inner and outer drums to obtain a detergent solution. The detergent solution effectively ensures that the washing ingredients come into full contact with the garments, improving the cleaning effect. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for the user to open the door of the garment processing device to dispense solid detergent, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0079] According to another aspect of the embodiments of this application, a control device for a garment processing apparatus for implementing the control method of the above-described garment processing apparatus is also provided, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the device includes:

[0081] The dispensing unit 804 determines whether water inlet starts or stops, and controls the clothing processing equipment to dispense washing foam into the load in the clothing processing chamber.

[0082] In this embodiment, by introducing water into the garment processing chamber and determining whether to start or stop the water inlet, the method of controlling the garment processing equipment to dispense washing foam into the load within the garment processing chamber, compared with related technologies that directly add detergent and water into the garment processing chamber for mixing, not only ensures that the detergent components in the detergent fully contact the stains on the garment, but also, based on the aforementioned method of adding water first and then adding washing foam, reduces the garment's ability to absorb water from the washing foam, allowing more detergent solution to be applied to the garment surface and water surface to generate more foam, thus enhancing the foam generation effect. Furthermore, the mechanical force generated by the bursting of washing foam acts on the garment surface, further improving the stain removal effect. In addition, this application can effectively shorten the time required to form the washing environment, facilitating the rapid formation of the conditions required for washing, thereby improving both the stain removal effect and the efficiency of garment processing.
