[0051] This application proposes a control method, device, garment processing equipment, and storage medium for a garment processing device. The garment processing tank of this device has a surface without drainage channels between at least two lifting ribs. After the garments to be washed are placed in the garment processing tank, a preset condition for the water level parameter corresponding to the current garments in the tank is determined by detection. Then, the soaking stage begins, during which foam is added to the garment processing tank. During the soaking stage, the water level parameter outside the garment processing tank is detected. If the water level parameter meets the preset condition, it can be determined that the garments in the garment processing tank are completely soaked. When the garments are completely soaked, the addition of foam to the garment processing tank can be stopped. Compared to existing technologies, the garment processing equipment of this application can accurately determine when the garments are completely soaked during the soaking stage, and stop adding foam to the garment processing tank once the garments are completely soaked, thereby achieving a water-saving effect.

[0052] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a garment processing device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the control method for this garment processing equipment includes:

[0054] Step S101: Add foam to the laundry treatment bucket.

[0055] Step S102: Determine that the water level parameters outside the clothing processing tank meet the preset conditions, and control the clothing processing equipment to stop adding foam to the clothing processing tank.

[0056] The garment processing equipment in this embodiment can be any type of washing machine, such as a front-loading washing machine or a top-loading fully automatic washing machine. The soaking stage, which involves adding the washing medium, can be a water spray soaking stage, a detergent solution spray soaking stage, etc., where the detergent solution can form a foam film. The purpose of the soaking stage is to fully wet the clothes in the garment processing tub, after which the subsequent formal washing stage can proceed.

[0057] In this embodiment, the surface between at least two lifting ribs in the garment processing tub of the garment processing device has a non-drainage channel structure, meaning the garment processing tub is a non-perforated tub. The garment processing device also includes an outer tub and a detection device. The garment processing tub is rotatably mounted in the outer tub, and the detection device is mounted on the outer tub. The garment processing tub has a drain hole connected to the outer tub. This drain hole is used to drain water during the washing and spin-drying stages and can be located at the bottom of the garment processing tub. Specifically, during the initial washing cycle, when water enters the garment processing tub, a small amount of water flows into the bottom of the outer tub from the drain hole at the bottom of the garment processing tub. The sealing device at the bottom of the outer tub can seal the drain hole at a certain water level. After the drain hole is sealed, the water level in the garment processing tub continues to rise. An air gap is sealed between the sealing device and the water surface, generating pressure that prevents water from flowing out of the space outside the sealing device of the outer tub, thus saving water. A drain valve is located at the bottom of the outer tub. During the spin-drying process, the water at the bottom of the outer tub is drained through the drain valve, the sealing device loses pressure, and the drain hole on the garment processing tub opens, allowing water in the garment processing tub to be discharged through the drain hole and drain valve. Of course, the above-mentioned drainage hole, sealing device, and drainage valve can be implemented in various forms, and this application does not limit them.

[0058] The working principle of the control method for the clothing processing equipment provided in this application is as follows: After the user puts the clothes to be washed into the clothing processing tub of the clothing processing equipment, the washing medium is first added. Ideally, at the beginning of the washing medium addition phase, the clothes will absorb all the washing medium sprayed onto their surface. When the clothes can no longer absorb washing medium, they are completely soaked. As more washing medium is added to the clothes, some washing medium will flow out from the drain hole of the clothing processing tub into the outer tub, causing the water level parameter outside the clothing processing tub to rise. Therefore, the water level parameter outside the clothing processing tub can be used to determine whether the clothes are completely soaked. Specifically, a detection device can be used to detect the water level parameter outside the clothing processing tub. However, due to differences in the size and material type of the clothes, the absorption rate of washing medium also varies. When the washing medium addition rate is high, the washing medium cannot be absorbed by the clothes in time, and a small amount of washing medium will flow into the outer tub. Therefore, to avoid misjudging that the clothes are completely soaked, this application sets corresponding preset conditions for the water level parameter for different clothing loads and material types. Therefore, based on the water level parameters and preset conditions outside the clothing treatment tank, this application can accurately determine whether the clothes in the clothing treatment tank are completely wet.

[0059] According to some embodiments of this application, the above-mentioned water level parameters may include water level value and / or water level change amount and / or water level change rate. Water level value refers to the water level outside the laundry processing tank; water level change amount refers to the change in water level outside the laundry processing tank over different times; and water level change rate refers to the rate at which the water level outside the laundry processing tank rises.

[0060] Before step S102, as Figure 2 As shown, the control method for the above-mentioned garment processing equipment further includes the following steps:

[0061] S201. Obtain the load amount and / or material type of the load in the garment processing bucket;

[0062] S202. Based on the load and / or the material type, determine the preset conditions for the water level parameters corresponding to the load in the clothing processing bucket.

[0063] The load capacity of the clothing can be obtained through weight sensors or motor weighing detection installed on the clothing processing equipment, or it can be obtained based on the load level selected by the user. The material type of the clothing can be obtained based on the type of clothing washing selected by the user, or it can be detected by relevant sensors.

[0064] For example, clothing materials include cotton, linen, silk, wool, leather, and blends. Different materials absorb water at different rates. Corresponding baseline water level parameters can be set for clothing of different weights and materials. These baseline water level parameters can be understood as preset conditions. For example, cotton absorbs water quickly, so a 1 kg cotton garment would have a baseline water level of 1 cm, and a 3 kg cotton garment would have a baseline water level of 0.5 cm. Blended fabrics absorb water more slowly than cotton, so a 1 kg blended fabric would have a baseline water level of 1.5 cm, and a 3 kg blended fabric would have a baseline water level of 1 cm. Similarly, corresponding baseline water level changes and rates of change can also be set, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0065] After entering the washing medium dispensing stage, the clothes cannot be completely soaked for a period of time after the washing medium is started. Therefore, the water level parameter outside the clothes processing tank can be detected after a period of time. This allows the controller of the clothes processing equipment to handle other programs during this period, such as the eccentricity detection of the clothes processing tank. Therefore, according to some embodiments of this application, the above method further includes: determining that the washing medium dispensing stage has begun, and timing the foam dispensing duration; determining that the foam dispensing duration exceeds a first preset duration, and using the detection device to detect the water level parameter outside the clothes processing tank. The first preset duration refers to the duration after the foam dispensing begins, which can be set according to actual conditions, for example, it can be set to 1 minute, and this application does not limit it. It should be noted that foam will be generated after the washing medium is dispensed, so timing the foam dispensing duration is also timing the washing medium dispensing duration. Since the clothes cannot be completely soaked for a period of time after the washing medium is started, the water level parameter outside the clothes processing tank can be detected after a period of time.

[0066] Specifically, the detection device can be used to detect a water level value at a first preset time after the foam is released, and a water level value at a second preset time. The water level change or water level change rate can be calculated based on the two water level values ​​obtained.

[0067] Assuming that the water level detected at the first preset time T1 after foam release is the first water level parameter value S1, and the water level detected at the second preset time T2 after foam release is the second water level parameter value S2, then the formula for calculating the water level change A after foam release is: A = S2 - S1, and the formula for calculating the water level change rate B after foam release is: B = (S2 - S1) / (T2 - T1).

[0068] For example, the first preset time T1 is the 60th second after the foam is released, at which time the first water level parameter value S1 is 1 cm. The second preset time T2 is the 70th second after the foam is released, at which time the second water level parameter value S2 is 1.5 cm. Then the water level change A = 1.5 - 1 = 0.5 cm, and the water level change rate B = (1.5 - 1) / (70 - 60) = 0.05 cm per second.

[0069] In step S102, the actual time for the clothes in the clothes processing tank to be completely soaked is determined based on the detected water level parameters outside the clothes processing tank and the preset conditions. Specifically, if the water level parameters outside the clothes processing tank meet the preset conditions, the clothes processing equipment is controlled to stop adding foam to the clothes processing tank.

[0070] Water level parameters meeting preset conditions means that: the water level value meets the reference water level, and / or the water level change meets the reference water level change, and / or the water level change rate meets the reference water level change rate. When the water level parameters meet the preset conditions, it means that the clothes in the laundry detergent bin are completely wet, and foam can be stopped from being added to the laundry detergent bin to achieve water conservation.

[0071] For example, once the clothes in the laundry tank are fully soaked, the water level outside the tank will continue to rise above the baseline level. When the difference between the water level outside the tank and the baseline level reaches a set threshold, it can be determined that the clothes in the tank are fully soaked. For instance, if the threshold is set to 0.5 cm and the baseline level is 1 cm, when the water level outside the tank reaches 1.5 cm, the current water level is 0.5 cm higher than the baseline level, reaching the threshold, indicating that the load in the tank has reached the required level of wetting.

[0072] For example, the rate of rise of the water level outside the laundry treatment tank can be determined based on the water level outside the tank exceeding the reference water level; and the load can be determined to be fully wetted based on the rate of rise reaching the rise rate threshold.

[0073] In this embodiment, after the clothes in the garment processing tank are completely soaked, the water level outside the tank will continue to rise at a certain rate based on the reference water level. However, in some cases, such as when the garment processing tank is rotated at a certain angle, the clothes may absorb some liquid, causing the rate of rise of the water level outside the tank to fall below the set threshold. This indicates that the clothes in the tank are not yet completely soaked. When the rate of rise of the water level outside the tank reaches the set threshold based on the reference water level, it can be determined that the clothes in the tank are completely soaked. For example, if the threshold is set to 0.5 cm per second and the reference water level is 1 cm, when the water level outside the tank reaches 1 cm and the rate of rise reaches 0.5 cm per second, it can be determined that the clothes in the tank have reached the condition of being sufficiently wetted.

[0074] According to some embodiments of this application, step S101, which involves adding foam to the clothing processing tub, specifically includes controlling the rotation of the tub while adding foam. Rotation of the tub promotes all-around water absorption by the clothing, preventing inaccurate water level detection outside the tub.

[0075] Specifically, controlling the rotation of the laundry tub can be achieved by: obtaining the corresponding washing speed and washing control cycle based on the water level parameters outside the laundry tub, and controlling the rotation of the laundry tub based on the obtained washing speed and washing control cycle.

[0076] The washing control cycle can be defined as the time during which the laundry tub rotates under the drive of the motor and then stops for another set time. For example, the higher the water level outside the laundry tub, the greater the ratio of rotation time to stop time in the corresponding washing control cycle.

[0077] According to some embodiments of this application, after determining that the water level outside the clothing treatment tub reaches the reference water level corresponding to the load, the control method of the above-mentioned clothing treatment equipment may further include the step of: controlling the addition of washing medium to the clothes in the non-porous tub according to the load amount and material type of the current load in the clothing treatment tub.

[0078] Specifically, the amount of washing medium to be added at one time can be determined based on the current load and material type of the clothes in the non-porous tub, and the washing medium can be added to the clothes in the non-porous tub according to the amount of washing medium to be added at one time.

[0079] In this embodiment, during the initial stage of adding the washing medium, a large amount of liquid can be added at once, such as 50% of the load capacity of the clothes. When the water level outside the clothes processing tank reaches the reference water level, it indicates that the clothes are nearly completely wet. At this point, the amount of washing medium added at one time can be controlled. For example, the amount of washing medium added at one time can be adjusted to 10% of the load capacity based on the load capacity and material type of the clothes. After each addition of washing medium, the water level outside the clothes processing tank and the reference water level are used to determine whether the clothes in the clothes processing tank are completely wet. Once the clothes are completely wet, the addition of washing medium is stopped. This embodiment can precisely control the amount of washing medium added, minimizing water waste.

[0080] This application uses a non-perforated inner tub, which can prevent dirt from contaminating the inner tub. Moreover, the non-perforated inner tub is more gentle on clothes and will not damage them. It can also reduce the amount of detergent entering the outer tub. Compared with a perforated inner tub, more of the foam formed by the detergent can remain in the inner tub, saving water while achieving better cleaning results.

[0081] The control method of the clothing processing device in this application embodiment involves adding foam to the clothing processing tank; determining that the water level parameter outside the clothing processing tank meets preset conditions, and controlling the clothing processing device to stop adding foam to the clothing processing tank. Compared with the prior art, in this application, during the process of adding foam to the clothing processing tank, by detecting whether the water level parameter outside the clothing processing tank meets preset conditions, the timing when the clothes are completely soaked can be accurately determined. When the clothes are completely soaked, the addition of foam to the clothing processing tank is stopped, thereby achieving a water-saving effect.
