Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0079] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0080] like Figure 1 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a fabric processing device 100. The fabric processing device 100 may include but is not limited to a washing machine, and the washing machine may include but is not limited to a washing and care machine, a washing and drying machine, etc. For example, the washing machine may be a drum washing machine or a pulsator washing machine with drying or washing and care functions, and of course, the washing machine may also be other types of fully automatic washing machines.
[0081] The fabric processing device 100 includes a fabric processing cylinder 200, a light emitting component 300, a photosensitive component 400 and a control device 500, wherein the control device 500 is electrically connected to the light emitting component 300 and the photosensitive component 400 or connected via signal data. It should be noted that the control device 500 can adopt a control system in the prior art, as long as the control system can control various startup functions, detection functions, etc. of the fabric processing device 100, and the specific structure type and specific control logic of the control system are not repeated here.
[0082] The fabric treatment drum 200 is disposed inside the fabric treatment device 100. The fabric treatment drum 200 may be in the form of a drum, or may be in the form of an outer drum and an inner drum. In this example and the following examples, the fabric treatment drum 200 is described as a drum.
[0083] The fabric treatment drum 200 is used to contain fabrics and treat the fabrics, for example, washing, rinsing or drying the fabrics using the fabric treatment drum 200 .
[0084] The light emitting assembly 300 is disposed in the fabric treatment drum 200, and is used to provide lighting to the interior of the fabric treatment drum 200. The light emitting assembly 300 may include, but is not limited to, lighting structures such as incandescent lamps and downlights. It should be noted that in order to improve the lighting effect of the light emitting assembly 300 on the fabric treatment drum 200 and avoid the situation where the fabric treatment drum 200 is not illuminated, the light emitting assembly 300 may be rotatably disposed in the fabric treatment drum 200.
[0085] Meanwhile, in order to provide a better lighting effect inside the fabric treatment drum 200 , the light emitting assembly 300 may be disposed on the top of the fabric treatment drum 200 , or the light emitting assembly 300 may be disposed at any position obliquely above the fabric treatment drum 200 .
[0086] The photosensitive components 400 are disposed at different positions inside the fabric processing drum 200 to detect the internal illumination of the fabric processing drum 200 .
[0087] The photosensitive assembly 400 includes a first photosensitive member 410 and a second photosensitive member 420. The first photosensitive member 410 is disposed in a relatively low area in the fabric processing drum 200. For example, the first photosensitive member 410 can be disposed at any position below the middle of the fabric processing drum 200 and close to a darker place of the rear pipeline of the fabric processing drum 200. The first photosensitive member 410 is used to detect the ambient illumination in the fabric processing drum 200. It should be noted that the number of the first photosensitive member 410 is at least one, that is, the number of the first photosensitive member 410 can be multiple.
[0088] The second photosensitive member 420 is disposed in a relatively high area in the fabric processing cylinder 200. For example, the second photosensitive member 420 is disposed at any position above the middle of the fabric processing cylinder 200. The fabric left in the fabric processing cylinder 200 is detected by scanning the second photosensitive member 420 in a downward or obliquely downward direction. It should be noted that the scanning of the second photosensitive member 420 and the control device 500 can also be used to inform the user of the position of the fabric processing cylinder 200 where the processed fabric is stored.
[0089] In one example, after the fabrics have been washed, rinsed or dried, the control device 500 issues a clothing removal instruction, for example, by ringing a bell or voice to remind the user. After the user opens the door of the fabric treatment drum 200, the control device 500 controls the light emitting assembly 300 to start, so as to provide lighting to the fabric treatment drum 200 through the light emitting assembly 300. The second photosensitive member 420 is started to detect the fabrics in the fabric treatment drum 200 by scanning, and sends a detection signal after detecting the storage position of the fabrics in the fabric treatment drum 200. After the control device 500 obtains the detection signal, it synchronously controls the irradiation end of the light emitting assembly 300 to rotate and illuminates the storage position of the fabrics, so as to facilitate the user to take the clothes.
[0090] The light-emitting component 300, the photosensitive component 400 and the control device 500 are designed as follows: the control device 500 controls the sensitivity of the second photosensitive component 420 and the light-emitting parameters of the light-emitting component 300 according to the ambient illumination value detected by the first photosensitive component 410, and adjusts the illumination of the light-emitting component 300 on the lost position of the fabric in the tube according to the lost position detected by the second photosensitive component 420.
[0091] When the door of the fabric processing device is opened, the control device 500 controls the light emitting assembly 300 to start, so as to provide lighting to the fabric processing cylinder 200 through the light emitting assembly 300. In order to prevent the second photosensitive member 420 from missing the fabric due to insufficient brightness in the area of the fabric processing cylinder 200 far from the light emitting assembly 300, the first photosensitive member 410 is arranged inside the fabric processing cylinder 200 and below the second photosensitive member 420.
[0092] The first photosensitive element 410 is used to detect the ambient illumination at the lower area inside the fabric processing drum 200 and generate an ambient illumination value signal. After the control device 500 obtains the ambient illumination value signal, it adjusts the sensitivity of the second photosensitive element 420 .
[0093] For example, when the light in the fabric processing drum 200 becomes brighter, the sensitivity of the second photosensitive member 420 is reduced by the control device 500 to reduce the energy consumption of the second photosensitive member 420 when it is working. In other words, when the light brightness in the fabric processing drum 200 is high, the second photosensitive member 420 with a lower sensitivity can be used to scan and detect all areas in the fabric processing drum 200 to prevent fabric leakage.
[0094] When the light in the fabric processing drum 200 becomes brighter, the sensitivity of the second photosensitive member 420 is increased by the control device 500. That is, when the light in the fabric processing drum 200 is dim, the second photosensitive member 420 can scan and detect all areas in the fabric processing drum 200 with a higher sensitivity to prevent fabric leakage.
[0095] It should be noted that the control device 500 can also control the light-emitting parameters of the light-emitting component 300 according to the ambient illumination value detected by the first photosensitive element 410, such as adjusting the lighting effect of the light-emitting component 300, controlling the lighting time of the light-emitting component 300, or adjusting the brightness level of the light-emitting component 300.
[0096] Furthermore, the control device 500 is further configured to obtain a detection signal of the fabric detected by the second photosensitive member 420, and determine the position where the fabric is left in the fabric processing drum 200 according to the detection signal, and adjust the light-emitting component 300 to illuminate the position where the fabric is left. It should be noted that after the user performs the corresponding clothing removal operation, the door of the fabric processing device 100 is closed, or after a predetermined time, the door is not closed, and the control device 500 defaults to the end of clothing removal. At this time, the second photosensitive member 420 scans the fabric processing drum 200 based on the adjusted sensitivity, and when it scans that there is a missing fabric in a certain area in the drum, a missing detection signal is issued. After the control device 500 obtains the missing detection signal, it issues a fabric missing signal indication, such as an audible and visual alarm or a voice reminder, to inform the user to promptly remove the missing fabric in the fabric processing drum 200. When the control device 500 sends out a fabric missing signal indication, the light emitting assembly 300 is controlled to rotate so that the light emitting assembly 300 can directly illuminate the fabric at the missing position, making it convenient for the user to take away the missing fabric.
[0097] In some implementations, the control device 500 adjusts the sensitivity of the second photosensitive element 420 and the light-emitting parameters of the light-emitting component 300 according to the ambient illumination value detected by the first photosensitive element 410, including:
[0098] When the ambient illumination value detected by the first photosensitive element 410 is lower, the control device 500 adjusts the sensitivity of the second photosensitive element 420 to be higher. Accordingly, when the ambient illumination value detected by the first photosensitive element 410 is higher, the control device 500 adjusts the sensitivity of the second photosensitive element 420 to be lower.
[0099] The following example illustrates how the control device 500 adjusts the light-emitting parameters of the light-emitting component 300 according to the ambient illumination value detected by the first photosensitive element 410 .
[0100] The control device 500 adjusts the illumination of the light emitting assembly 300 on the dropped position of the fabric in the drum according to the dropped position detected by the second photosensitive element 420, including: increasing the illumination brightness of the light emitting assembly 300 and / or adjusting the illumination direction of the light emitting assembly.
[0101] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the first photosensitive member 410 is disposed obliquely below the second photosensitive member 420 and closer to the inlet of the fabric processing drum 200. Based on this, the first photosensitive member 410 can be used to facilitate detection of the darker area in the fabric processing drum 200, providing a good detection basis for the subsequent second photosensitive member 420 to detect the fabric storage position and the lost position that may exist in the later stage.
[0102] In a specific example, the first photosensitive member 410 and the second photosensitive member 420 may include but are not limited to a light sensor, a camera, etc. The first photosensitive member 410 and the second photosensitive member 420 may be the same or different.
[0103] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the light emitting assembly 300 includes a light emitting member 310 and a bracket 320. The light emitting member 310 is rotatably disposed on the bracket 320, and the bracket 320 is disposed on the top surface of the inner wall of the fabric processing cylinder 200.
[0104] Alternatively, the light emitting member 310 is disposed on a bracket 320 , and the bracket 320 is rotatably disposed on the top surface of the inner wall of the fabric processing cylinder 200 .
[0105] Alternatively, the light emitting member 310 is disposed on a bracket 320 , and the bracket 320 is telescopically disposed on the top surface of the inner wall of the fabric processing cylinder 200 .
[0106] The second photosensitive member 420 is disposed on the bracket 320 .
[0107] It should be noted that the light emitting element 310 may include but is not limited to a downlight or a lighting lamp with multiple lighting colors.
[0108] like Figure 2 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention further provides a fabric detection method of a fabric processing device, and the fabric detection method of the fabric detection device is applied to the fabric processing device of any of the above embodiments. The fabric detection method includes the following steps:
[0109] Step S100: in response to a command signal indicating that a door of the fabric processing device is opened, obtaining an ambient illumination value in the fabric processing drum based on a first photosensitive member located in a lower area in the fabric processing drum.
[0110] Step S200: Based on the ambient illumination value, the sensitivity of the second photosensitive member located in a higher area in the fabric processing drum is determined.
[0111] Step S300: Detecting the fabric in the fabric processing drum based on the sensitivity of the second photosensitive element, and controlling the light-emitting component to illuminate the detection position of the second photosensitive element.
[0112] In step S100, after the fabric treatment drum 200 has finished processing the fabric, for example, after the fabric washing, rinsing or drying process has finished, the control device 500 issues a clothes removal instruction, for example, by ringing a bell or voice to remind the user to take the clothes in time, and the user opens the door of the fabric treatment drum 200 according to the clothes removal instruction. Then, the first photosensitive element 410 in the lower area of the fabric treatment drum 200 detects the ambient brightness in the fabric treatment drum 200 to obtain the ambient illumination value at the lower position in the fabric treatment drum 200.
[0113] In step S200, after the control device 500 obtains the environmental illumination value in step S100, the control device 500 determines the sensitivity of the second photosensitive member 420 located in a higher area in the fabric processing drum 200 based on the environmental illumination value.
[0114] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, after the control device 500 obtains the ambient illumination value, the sensitivity of the second photosensitive element 420 may be determined by the following method:
[0115] First, the current reflection threshold of the inner wall of the fabric treatment drum 200 is determined. It should be noted that the current reflection threshold is used to characterize the reflection capability of the inner wall of the fabric treatment drum 200 to the irradiated light.
[0116] Then, the sensitivity of the second photosensitive element 420 is adjusted according to the current reflection threshold.
[0117] The reflectivity of the fabric to the irradiated light of the light emitting component 300 is smaller than the reflectivity of the inner wall of the fabric treatment drum 200 to the irradiated light. In one example, the brightness inside the fabric treatment drum 200 is L by default, the resistance of the second photosensitive member 420 is r, and the reflectivity of the inner wall of the fabric treatment drum 200 to the irradiated light with a brightness of L is n, that is, when the brightness is L, the current reflection threshold of the inner wall of the fabric treatment drum 200 is n.
[0118] When the ambient brightness in the fabric processing drum 200 changes to L1, the resistance of the second photosensitive element 420 is r1, that is, when the ambient brightness in the fabric processing drum 200 becomes brighter, that is, L1>L, the resistance of the second photosensitive element 420 is r1<r. According to the relationship between current, resistance and voltage, it can be known that the current fed back by the second photosensitive element 420 to the control device 500 becomes larger, and the current reflection threshold of the fabric processing drum 200 is adjusted to n1. At this time, n1>n, that is, the current reflection threshold of the fabric processing drum 200 is adjusted to be larger. At this time, the second photosensitive element 420 with lower sensitivity can scan the fabric information in more areas of the fabric processing drum 200.
[0119] Similarly, when the environment inside the fabric processing drum 200 becomes darker, that is, L1<L, the resistance of the second photosensitive element 420 is r1>r. According to the relationship between current, resistance and voltage, it can be known that the current fed back by the second photosensitive element 420 to the control device 500 becomes larger, and the current reflection threshold of the fabric processing drum 200 is adjusted to n1. At this time, n1<n, that is to say, the current reflection threshold of the fabric processing drum 200 is adjusted to be smaller. At this time, a second photosensitive element 420 with higher sensitivity is required to complete the scanning of fabrics in more areas within the fabric processing drum 200.
[0120] Therefore, when the current light reflection threshold value n of the fabric treatment drum 200 decreases, the sensitivity of the second photosensitive member 420 is increased; and when the current light reflection threshold value n of the fabric treatment drum 200 increases, the sensitivity of the second photosensitive member 420 is decreased.
[0121] In step S300, the inside of the fabric processing drum 200 is scanned based on the adjusted sensitivity of the second photosensitive element 420 to obtain the reflection parameters at various positions in the drum in real time.
[0122] When the reflection parameter of any current position P in the fabric processing drum 200 is less than the current reflection threshold, it is determined that there is fabric at the current position P. Then, the control device 500 controls the light-emitting element 310 to rotate and illuminate the current position P at a predetermined light parameter, thereby guiding the user to open the machine door and remove the fabric at the current position P.
[0123] Reference Figure 5 As shown, in the process of controlling the light emitting element 310 to rotate and illuminate the current position P with the predetermined light parameters, and before the user opens the door, that is, the user has walked to the front of the fabric processing device 100, or, after the fabric processing device 100 is turned on, the control device 500 obtains the weather of the day, the sunset time, and the brightness information of the external environment of the fabric processing device 100. Then, it is determined whether the user is a historical user.
[0124] When the user is a historical user and the control device 500 stores historical data of the historical user, the historical data of the historical user is directly retrieved, and the predetermined lighting parameters of the light emitting element 310 are adjusted based on the brightness information.
[0125] In the process of adjusting the predetermined lighting parameters of the light-emitting component 310 by retrieving historical data, first determine whether the current weather is similar to the historical weather. If so, retrieve the historical data and adjust the lighting time, color tone parameters and brightness level of the light-emitting component 310 according to the historical data; if not, determine whether the current ambient brightness is greater than the historical brightness. If so, reduce the brightness of the light-emitting component 310; if not, increase the brightness of the light-emitting component 310, and adjust the color tone parameters and brightness level of the light-emitting component 310 according to the corresponding parameters in the historical data.
[0126] When the user is not a historical user, the predetermined lighting parameters of the light emitting element 310 are adjusted according to the current weather, sunset time and ambient brightness information.
[0127] Reference Figure 6 As shown, in one example, the current age of the user is first determined, and it is determined whether the user uses the current age recommendation data. When the user determines to use the current age recommendation data, the predetermined lighting parameters of the light emitting element 310 are adjusted based on the current age recommendation data. In the adjustment process of this example, the predetermined lighting parameters of the light emitting element 310 can be adjusted based on the user's age group.
[0128] When the user's age is less than or equal to the first age, the control device 500 adjusts the brightness level of the light emitting component 310 to the first brightness level, controls the color tone parameter of the light emitting component 310 to be a warm color tone, and at the same time, controls the lighting time of the light emitting component 310 to be the first time.
[0129] When the user is older than the first age but younger than the second age, the control device 500 adjusts the brightness level parameter of the light emitting element 310 to the first brightness level, and controls the lighting time of the light emitting element 310 to the second time. The first time may be the same as or different from the second time. Alternatively, the second time is slightly longer than the first time.
[0130] When the user age is greater than or equal to the second age, the control device 500 adjusts the brightness level parameter of the light emitting element 310 to the second brightness level, controls the color tone parameter of the light emitting element 310 to be a cool color tone, and controls the lighting time of the light emitting element 310 to be a third time. The second brightness level is greater than the first brightness level, that is, when the user age is greater than or equal to the second age, a higher brightness of illumination light is required when taking clothes. The third time is greater than the second time, or the third time is greater than the first time.
[0131] In some embodiments, the first age may be 20 years old, and the second age may be 50 years old. Alternatively, the first age and the second age may be other values besides 20 years old and 50 years old.
[0132] It should be noted that the first time, the second time, and the third time can all be factory settings of the fabric processing device 100, or can also be settings flexibly set by the user according to his or her own preferences or clothing taking habits, and are not specifically limited here. The user's clothing taking habits may include taking out all fabrics at once, taking out fabrics by category, or taking out part of the fabrics first and then taking out the remaining fabrics.
[0133] When the user does not determine to use the current age recommendation data, the predetermined lighting parameters of the lighting element 310 can be flexibly adjusted based on the user's preferences.
[0134] Reference Figure 2 Combined with Figure 3 As shown, after the user takes clothes according to the clothes taking instruction issued by the control device 500, in order to prevent the user from missing fabrics during the clothes taking process, the fabric detection method further includes the following steps:
[0135] Step S400: when the monitored door opening time is greater than the set time and / or the door is closed, the current reflection value at each position in the fabric processing drum is obtained based on the second photosensitive element.
[0136] Step S500: selectively issuing a reminder message of fabric missing according to the magnitude relationship between the current reflection value at each position in the fabric processing drum and the current reflection threshold.
[0137] In step S400, when the control device 500 detects that the machine door is open for longer than the set time, or the user closes the machine door after taking clothes, the control device 500 continues to control the second photosensitive element 420 to scan the fabric processing drum 200 to obtain the current reflection value at each position in the fabric processing drum 200 in real time.
[0138] It should be noted that the set time is the maximum length of the clothing collection time mapped to the corresponding fabric weight after weighing the fabric before processing. Alternatively, the set time can also be a time value set by the user.
[0139] In step S500, when the current reflective value of any position in the fabric processing cylinder 200 is less than the current reflective threshold, the control device 500 issues a reminder message of fabric missing, and at the same time adjusts the light-emitting element 310 to illuminate the area P1 where the current reflective value is less than the current reflective threshold, so that the user can remove the missed fabric in time.
[0140] In this embodiment, after the user takes out the fabric in the fabric processing drum 200 according to the clothing taking instruction, the fabric may be missed. In order to prevent the fabric from being missed, after the machine door is opened for a set time or after the machine door is closed, the control device 500 controls the second photosensitive element 420 to continue scanning the fabric processing drum 200 to obtain the current reflective value at each position in the fabric processing drum 200 in real time. Among them, when the current reflective value at any position is less than the current reflective threshold, it indicates that there is still fabric left at the position and has not been taken away by the user. At this time, the control device 500 sends a reminder message of fabric missing according to the judgment signal that the current reflective value is less than the current reflective threshold, and adjusts the light emitting element 310 to illuminate the position where the fabric is left, so that the user can accurately take out the remaining fabric again, which effectively improves the user's experience of using the fabric processing device 100.
