Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of clothing processing equipment, specifically, it relates to a control method for clothing processing equipment and clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In this invention, "clothing processing equipment" refers to a general term for a class of household appliances that can perform washing, dehydration, drying and other processes, such as washing machines and washer-dryer combos.

[0003] In existing technologies, to address water inlet malfunctions such as water outages or forgetting to turn on the tap, most washing machines typically preset a reference time for water intake based on a target water level. This reference time is calculated by a built-in fixed algorithm and is related to the water pressure. If the water intake time exceeds the reference time and the water level inside the washing machine has not yet reached the target level, an alarm will be triggered.

[0004] Although this control method is simple, consumers live in a wide range of areas with varying tap water pressures. Furthermore, mass-produced washing machines are pre-programmed with the same fixed algorithm, which can lead to inaccurate reference durations in some areas. This results in frequent alarms from washing machines in areas with low or unstable water pressure, requiring adjustments to the machine before it can be used normally.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a control method for a garment processing device, which utilizes information such as the number of timeout alarms and alarm rate recorded by the garment processing device to optimize and adjust the preset water inlet time, thereby reducing the alarm rate and avoiding false alarms.

[0007] Another objective of this invention is to provide a garment processing device using this control method, which aims to avoid frequent user operations and improve user experience by setting a preset water inlet time that can be dynamically optimized according to the region.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0009] A control method for a garment processing device includes a preset water inlet level and a water inlet duration T0 corresponding to the water inlet level. During the water inlet process, the actual water inlet duration T1 is obtained. If the actual water inlet duration T1 is greater than the preset water inlet duration T0, an alarm is triggered and the alarm rate W is calculated. The preset water inlet duration T0 is adjusted according to the alarm rate W.

[0010] Furthermore, the step of adjusting the preset water inlet duration T0 based on the alarm rate W includes: setting a reasonable range and a fault range, which are adjacent and have an intermediate value K as the threshold. It is determined whether the alarm rate W is less than the intermediate value K. If so, the alarm rate W is determined to be within the reasonable range and the preset water inlet duration T0 is continued.

[0011] Furthermore, adjusting the preset water inlet duration T0 according to the alarm rate W includes: setting the preset water inlet duration T0 to be multiplied by the optimization coefficient A, and controlling the optimization coefficient A to be positively correlated with the alarm rate W.

[0012] Furthermore, the statistical alarm rate W includes: setting a preset statistical period, obtaining the number of alarms and the number of water ingresses within the statistical period, calculating the alarm rate W, where alarm rate W = number of alarms / number of water ingresses, and determining whether the alarm rate W is within a reasonable range.

[0013] Furthermore, the alarm activation and alarm rate calculation W includes: controlling the alarm to be activated, and obtaining information on whether an alarm was activated during the last water ingress. If so, the number of consecutive alarms is accumulated, and it is determined whether the number of consecutive alarms reaches N. If not, the alarm rate W is calculated, where N is greater than or equal to 3.

[0014] Furthermore, if the number of consecutive alarms reaches N, an alarm fault is displayed and the optimization coefficient A is increased.

[0015] Furthermore, determining whether the alarm rate W is less than the median value K includes: controlling the median value K to be inversely proportional to the duration of the statistical period, comparing the alarm rate W with the median value K, and if the alarm rate W is less than the median value K, then determining that the alarm rate W belongs to a reasonable range.

[0016] Furthermore, the control system connects the garment processing equipment to the mobile terminal, sends alarm information and alarm rate W to the mobile terminal, and can receive feedback information from the mobile terminal and adjust the garment processing equipment according to the feedback information.

[0017] Furthermore, the control and mobile terminal communication connection includes: controlling the display of alarm information, statistical period duration and alarm rate within the corresponding period on the mobile terminal, while displaying the adjustable range of the optimization coefficient A, and controlling the use of the feedback optimization coefficient A1 to cover the original optimization coefficient A.

[0018] The present invention also provides a garment processing device controlled by any of the above-described control methods.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

[0020] 1. This method uses the preset water inlet time T0 of the preset water level to be introduced into the clothing processing equipment as a reference to judge the actual water inlet time. By storing and recording each timeout alarm, the proportion of alarms due to timeout within a cycle can be obtained. Then, the local water pressure level and stability can be obtained based on the alarm rate. Then, the direction and magnitude of adjusting the preset water inlet time can be given by using the alarm rate. Finally, through automatic dynamic adjustment, the reference value of the clothing processing equipment can be automatically adjusted to change with the water pressure in different regions.

[0021] 2. The possible range of alarm ratios has been divided, with a median value K used to separate a reasonable range and a fault range. The reasonable range uses the median value K as its maximum value to eliminate alarms caused by normal water pressure fluctuations, avoiding inefficient optimization and ensuring the stability of the control method. The fault range indicates that the alarm in the garment processing equipment is in an abnormal state, and the local water pressure does not match the factory preset.

[0022] 3. An optimization coefficient has been added to the preset water inlet duration T0, and this optimization coefficient is multiplied by the preset water inlet duration T0. This optimization coefficient can be used to increase or decrease the preset water inlet duration T0. By controlling the optimization coefficient to be positively correlated with the alarm rate, unreasonable alarms caused by low water pressure can be reduced, thus lowering the alarm rate and avoiding the need for users to frequently operate the clothing processing equipment.

[0023] 4. The garment processing equipment can use the recorded number and frequency of timeout alarms to optimize and adjust the preset water inlet duration T0, thereby reducing the alarm rate and avoiding false alarms. At the same time, by setting a preset water inlet duration that dynamically adapts to the local water pressure, the garment processing equipment avoids frequent user operations and improves the user experience.

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0038] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0039] In this invention, "clothing processing equipment" refers to a general term for a class of household appliances that can perform washing, dehydration, drying and other processes, such as washing machines and washer-dryer combos.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the garment processing equipment is equipped with a water level sensor, which can control the equipment to record the start time of water intake and the time to reach the target water level, and then obtain the actual water intake duration. The garment processing equipment also includes an algorithm that can obtain a preset water intake duration T0. This algorithm is related to water pressure and uses the water level as a variable, and can derive the preset water intake duration T0 based on the water level.

[0041] A water inlet level is preset. The actual water inlet duration T1 is obtained and compared with the preset water inlet duration T0. If the actual water inlet duration T1 is greater than the preset water inlet duration T0, an alarm is triggered and the alarm rate W is calculated. Then, the preset water inlet duration T0 is optimized based on the magnitude of the alarm rate W.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the control method for the garment processing equipment includes the following steps:

[0043] S01 Turn on the garment processing equipment;

[0044] S02 presets the preset water inlet duration T0 corresponding to the water inlet level;

[0045] S03 preset water level;

[0046] S04 controls the acquisition of the actual water intake time T1 from the preset water level;

[0047] S05 determines whether the actual water inlet duration T1 is greater than the preset water inlet duration T0;

[0048] If S061 is true, then control proceed to step S07;

[0049] If S062 is not correct, then proceed to step S09;

[0050] S07 controls the alarm and calculates the alarm rate W;

[0051] S08 adjusts the preset water inlet duration T0 according to the alarm rate W;

[0052] S09 begins washing.

[0053] In this embodiment, the method uses the preset water inlet time T0 of the preset water level to be introduced into the clothing processing equipment as a reference to determine the actual water inlet time. By storing and recording each timeout alarm, the proportion of alarms due to timeout within a cycle can be obtained. Then, the local water pressure level and stability can be obtained based on the alarm rate. The direction and magnitude of adjusting the preset water inlet time can be given by using the alarm rate. Finally, the reference value of the clothing processing equipment can be automatically and dynamically adjusted to adapt to the water pressure in different regions.

[0054] In another embodiment of the present invention, adjusting the preset water inlet duration T0 according to the alarm rate W includes: setting a reasonable range and a fault range, which are adjacent and take the middle value K as the threshold value, determining whether the alarm rate W is less than the middle value K, and if so, determining that the alarm rate W belongs to the reasonable range and continuing to use the preset water inlet duration T0.

[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control method for the garment processing equipment includes the following steps:

[0056] S01 Turn on the garment processing equipment;

[0057] S02 presets the preset water inlet duration T0 corresponding to the water inlet level;

[0058] S03 presets the water level, presets the reasonable range and the fault range, and the two are adjacent and use the middle value K as the critical value;

[0059] S04 controls the acquisition of the actual water intake time T1 from the preset water level;

[0060] S05 determines whether the actual water inlet duration T1 is greater than the preset water inlet duration T0;

[0061] If S061 is true, then control proceed to step S07;

[0062] If S062 is not, then proceed to step S11;

[0063] S07 controls the alarm and calculates the alarm rate W;

[0064] S08 determines whether the alarm rate W is less than the median value K;

[0065] If S091 is true, then control proceeds to step S11;

[0066] If S092 is not correct, then proceed to step S10.

[0067] S10 adjusts the preset water inlet duration T0 according to the alarm rate W;

[0068] S11 begins the washing process.

[0069] In this embodiment, the possible numerical range of the alarm ratio is divided, and a reasonable range and a fault range are defined by the median value K. The reasonable range uses the median value K as its maximum value to eliminate alarms caused by normal fluctuations in water pressure, avoiding inefficient optimization and ensuring the stability of the control method. The fault range indicates that the alarm of the clothing processing equipment is in an abnormal state, and the local water pressure does not match the factory preset.

[0070] In another embodiment of the present invention, adjusting the preset water inlet duration T0 according to the alarm rate W includes: setting the preset water inlet duration T0 to be multiplied by the optimization coefficient A, and controlling the optimization coefficient A to be positively correlated with the alarm rate W.

[0071] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the control method for the garment processing equipment includes the following steps:

[0072] S01 Turn on the garment processing equipment;

[0073] S02 presets the preset water inlet duration T0 corresponding to the water inlet level;

[0074] S03 presets the water level, presets the reasonable range and the fault range, and the two are adjacent and use the middle value K as the critical value;

[0075] S04 controls the acquisition of the actual water intake time T1 from the preset water level;

[0076] S05 determines whether the actual water inlet duration T1 is greater than the preset water inlet duration T0;

[0077] If S061 is true, then control proceed to step S07;

[0078] If S062 is not, then proceed to step S12;

[0079] S07 controls the alarm and calculates the alarm rate W;

[0080] S08 determines whether the alarm rate W is less than the median value K;

[0081] If S091 is true, then control proceeds to step S12;

[0082] If S092 is not correct, then proceed to step S10.

[0083] S10 sets the preset water intake time T0 and multiplies it by the optimization coefficient A;

[0084] The S11 control optimization coefficient A is positively correlated with the alarm rate W;

[0085] S12 begins the washing process.

[0086] In this embodiment, an optimization coefficient is added to the preset water inlet duration T0, and this optimization coefficient is multiplied by the preset water inlet duration T0. This optimization coefficient can be used to increase or decrease the preset water inlet duration T0. By controlling the optimization coefficient to be positively correlated with the alarm rate, unreasonable alarms caused by low water pressure can be reduced, thus lowering the alarm rate and avoiding the problem of users frequently operating the clothing processing equipment.

[0087] In another embodiment of the present invention, the statistical alarm rate W includes: a preset statistical period of a certain duration, such as one week, two weeks, one month, or one year. The number of alarms and the number of water ingresses within the statistical period are obtained, and the alarm rate W is calculated as: alarm rate W = number of alarms / number of water ingresses. It is then determined whether the alarm rate W is within a reasonable range.

[0088] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the control method for the garment processing equipment includes the following steps:

[0089] S01 Turn on the garment processing equipment;

[0090] S02 presets the preset water inlet duration T0 corresponding to the water inlet level;

[0091] S03 presets the water level and statistical period, presets the reasonable range and the fault range, and the two are adjacent and the median value K is the critical value;

[0092] S04 controls the acquisition of the actual water intake time T1 from the preset water level;

[0093] S05 determines whether the actual water inlet duration T1 is greater than the preset water inlet duration T0;

[0094] If S061 is true, then control proceed to step S07;

[0095] If S062 is not correct, then proceed to step S14;

[0096] S07 controls the alarm and stores alarm records;

[0097] S08 obtains the number of alarms and water ingresses within the statistical period;

[0098] S09 calculates the alarm rate W;

[0099] S10 determines whether the alarm rate W is less than the median value K;

[0100] If S111 is true, then control proceeds to step S14;

[0101] If not, then proceed to step S12;

[0102] S12 sets the preset water intake time T0 and multiplies it by the optimization coefficient A;

[0103] The S13 control optimization coefficient A is positively correlated with the alarm rate W;

[0104] S14 begins the washing process.

[0105] In this embodiment, a method for calculating the alarm rate within a specific time period is established in the garment processing equipment. By introducing a statistical period and continuously increasing the duration of the statistical period, it can be ensured that the alarm rate more accurately indicates whether the alarm problem of the garment processing equipment is caused by a malfunction or by water pressure issues in the area where it is used. This improves the user experience.

[0106] In another embodiment of the present invention, the step of triggering an alarm and calculating the alarm rate W includes: controlling the alarm to be triggered and obtaining information on whether an alarm was triggered during the last water ingress. If so, the number of consecutive alarms is accumulated, and it is determined whether the number of consecutive alarms reaches N. If not, the alarm rate W is calculated, where N is greater than or equal to 3.

[0107] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the control method for the garment processing equipment includes the following steps:

[0108] S01 Turn on the garment processing equipment;

[0109] S02 presets the preset water inlet duration T0 corresponding to the water inlet level;

[0110] S03 presets the water level and statistical period, presets the reasonable range and the fault range, and the two are adjacent and the median value K is the critical value;

[0111] S04 controls the acquisition of the actual water intake time T1 from the preset water level;

[0112] S05 determines whether the actual water inlet duration T1 is greater than the preset water inlet duration T0;

[0113] If S061 is true, then control proceed to step S07;

[0114] If S062 is not correct, then proceed to step S19.

[0115] S07 controls the alarm and stores alarm records;

[0116] S08 determines whether an alarm was triggered during the last water ingress;

[0117] If S091 is true, then control proceeds to step S10;

[0118] If S092 is not correct, then proceed to step S13.

[0119] S10 controls the accumulation of consecutive alarm counts;

[0120] S11 determines whether the consecutive count has reached N times;

[0121] If S121 is true, then control proceeds to step S19;

[0122] If S122 is not correct, then proceed to step S13.

[0123] S13 obtains the number of alarms and water ingresses within the statistical period;

[0124] S14 calculates the alarm rate W;

[0125] S15 determines whether the alarm rate W is less than the median value K;

[0126] If S161 is true, then control proceeds to step S19;

[0127] If not in step S162, then proceed to step S17.

[0128] S17 sets the preset water intake time T0 and multiplies it by the optimization coefficient A;

[0129] The S18 control optimization coefficient A is positively correlated with the alarm rate W;

[0130] S19 begins washing.

[0131] In this embodiment, a step of calculating the cumulative number of alarms is added, which can determine whether the clothing processing equipment alarms multiple times in a short period of time, greatly reducing the time required to identify the cause of the fault and improving the efficiency of the optimized control method.

[0132] In another embodiment of the present invention, if the number of consecutive alarms reaches N, an alarm fault is displayed and the optimization coefficient A is increased.

[0133] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the control method for the garment processing equipment includes the following steps:

[0134] S01 Turn on the garment processing equipment;

[0135] S02 presets the preset water inlet duration T0 corresponding to the water inlet level;

[0136] S03 presets the water level and statistical period, presets the reasonable range and the fault range, and the two are adjacent and the median value K is the critical value;

[0137] S04 controls the acquisition of the actual water intake time T1 from the preset water level;

[0138] S05 determines whether the actual water inlet duration T1 is greater than the preset water inlet duration T0;

[0139] If S061 is true, then control proceed to step S07;

[0140] If S062 is not correct, then proceed to step S19.

[0141] S07 controls the alarm and stores alarm records;

[0142] S08 determines whether an alarm was triggered during the last water ingress;

[0143] If S091 is true, then control proceeds to step S10;

[0144] If S092 is not correct, then proceed to step S13.

[0145] S10 controls the accumulation of consecutive alarm counts;

[0146] S11 determines whether the consecutive count has reached N times;

[0147] If S121 is true, then control proceeds to step S1211;

[0148] If S122 is not correct, then proceed to step S13.

[0149] S1211 Control display alarm fault;

[0150] S1212 sets the preset water intake time T0 and multiplies it by the optimization coefficient A;

[0151] S1213 Increase the optimization coefficient A and proceed to step S19;

[0152] S13 obtains the number of alarms and water ingresses within the statistical period;

[0153] S14 calculates the alarm rate W;

[0154] S15 determines whether the alarm rate W is less than the median value K;

[0155] If S161 is true, then control proceeds to step S19;

[0156] If not in step S162, then proceed to step S17.

[0157] S17 sets the preset water intake time T0 and multiplies it by the optimization coefficient A;

[0158] The S18 control optimization coefficient A is positively correlated with the alarm rate W;

[0159] S19 begins washing.

[0160] In this embodiment, a step of quickly adjusting the preset water inlet duration is added. This allows the system to bypass the step of optimizing the preset water inlet duration based on the alarm rate after identifying that the alarm problem is caused by water pressure, and immediately optimize the preset water inlet duration T0. This can save a lot of time and improve the efficiency of the optimization control method.

[0161] In another embodiment of the present invention, determining whether the alarm rate W is less than the median value K includes: controlling the median value K to be inversely proportional to the duration of the statistical period, comparing the alarm rate W with the median value K, and if the alarm rate W is less than the median value K, then determining that the alarm rate W belongs to a reasonable range.

[0162] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the control method for the garment processing equipment includes the following steps:

[0163] S01 Turn on the garment processing equipment;

[0164] S02 presets the preset water inlet duration T0 corresponding to the water inlet level;

[0165] S03 presets the water level and statistical period, presets the reasonable range and the fault range, and the two are adjacent and the median value K is the critical value;

[0166] S04 controls the acquisition of the actual water intake time T1 from the preset water level;

[0167] S05 controls the intermediate value K to be inversely proportional to the duration of the statistical period;

[0168] S06 Determines whether the actual water inlet duration T1 is greater than the preset water inlet duration T0;

[0169] If S071 is true, then control proceed to step S08;

[0170] If S072 is not correct, then proceed to step S20;

[0171] S08 controls the alarm and stores alarm records;

[0172] S09 determines whether an alarm was triggered during the last water ingress;

[0173] If S101 is true, then control proceeds to step S11;

[0174] If S102 is not, then proceed to step S14;

[0175] S11 controls the accumulation of consecutive alarm counts;

[0176] S12 determines whether the consecutive count has reached N times;

[0177] If S131 is true, then control proceeds to step S1311;

[0178] If S132 is not, then proceed to step S14;

[0179] S1311 Control display alarm fault;

[0180] S1312 sets the preset water intake time T0 and multiplies it by the optimization coefficient A;

[0181] S1313 Increase the optimization coefficient A and proceed to step S20;

[0182] S14 obtains the number of alarms and water ingresses within the statistical period;

[0183] S15 calculates the alarm rate W;

[0184] S16 determines whether the alarm rate W is less than the median value K;

[0185] If S171 is true, then control proceeds to step S20;

[0186] If S172 is not, then proceed to step S18;

[0187] S18 sets the preset water intake time T0 and multiplies it by the optimization coefficient A;

[0188] The S19 control optimization coefficient A is positively correlated with the alarm rate W;

[0189] S20 begins washing.

[0190] In this embodiment, the median value K used to determine the alarm rate characteristics is set to be inversely proportional to the statistical period. This utilizes the probabilistic characteristic that the longer the recording duration, the more stable the alarm rate. It can more accurately determine whether the preset water inlet duration T0 needs to be adjusted by the range in which the alarm rate is located, thereby indicating whether the alarm is due to equipment failure or water pressure problem.

[0191] In another embodiment of the present invention, the control garment processing device is connected to a mobile terminal for communication, and alarm information and alarm rate W are sent to the mobile terminal. The control device can receive feedback information from the mobile terminal and adjust the garment processing device according to the feedback information.

[0192] Mobile terminals include mobile phones, tablets, computers, etc.

[0193] Specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, the control method for the garment processing equipment includes the following steps:

[0194] S01 Turn on the garment processing equipment;

[0195] S02 presets the preset water inlet duration T0 corresponding to the water inlet level;

[0196] S03 preset water level;

[0197] S04 controls the acquisition of the actual water intake time T1 from the preset water level;

[0198] S05 determines whether the actual water inlet duration T1 is greater than the preset water inlet duration T0;
