Those skilled in the art can understand that the words "first", "second" and the like do not limit the quantity and execution order, and the words "first", "second" and the like do not limit them to be necessarily different.

[0055] In addition, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements explicitly listed, but may include other steps or elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0056] At present, downlights of clothing processing equipment often use a single light source, the same lighting power and the same lighting method, without considering the influence of clothing properties and external ambient light on the visual presentation effect in the downlight.

[0057] It cannot guarantee that good visual effects can be obtained under different clothing characteristics and different ambient light conditions, and it will also cause unnecessary waste of electricity.

[0058] This embodiment provides a downlight control method for a clothes processing device, and the downlight control method includes:

[0059] Get clothing attributes and ambient light attributes;

[0060] Determine the wavelength and brightness of the downlight at the target clothing surface brightness according to clothing properties and ambient light properties;

[0061] Control the downlight to light up at a certain wavelength and brightness;

[0062] The clothing attributes at least include clothing gloss, clothing roughness and clothing color, and the ambient light attributes at least include ambient light wavelength and ambient light brightness.

[0063] This embodiment combines the wavelength and brightness control of the downlight with the clothing properties and the ambient light properties to achieve the best clothing surface brightness and save energy consumption. In addition, this embodiment can also adjust the clothing surface brightness according to user needs, realize personalized control of clothing surface brightness, and enhance user experience.

[0064] Optionally, this embodiment also adjusts the brightness of the downlight by combining the clothing processing parameters of the clothing processing equipment to eliminate the influence of different clothing processing parameters on the clothing surface brightness, thereby achieving the target clothing surface brightness required by the user under different clothing processing parameters.

[0065] Optionally, the present embodiment further regulates the brightness of the downlight by combining the clothing processing stage of the clothing processing device, so as to achieve the target clothing surface brightness required by the user in different clothing processing stages.

[0066] The technical solution of this embodiment is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments and examples can be combined with each other if there is no conflict.

[0067] First, the structure of the implementation body of the downlight control method of the clothes processing equipment proposed in this embodiment is introduced.

[0068] The downlight control method of the clothing processing device of this embodiment is applied to the clothing processing device, which may be a washing machine, a dryer, a washer-dryer or a washer-care machine, and the structure of the clothing processing device may be either a drum structure or a pulsator structure. The clothing processing device includes a shell and a clothing processing drum arranged in the shell, the shell includes a front plate, a downlight is installed on the side of the front plate facing the clothing processing drum, and the irradiation direction of the downlight is toward the inside of the clothing processing drum. Preferably, the downlight of this embodiment is an RGB LED lamp that can generate all visible light in the visible light spectrum.

[0069] Optionally, the clothing processing device further includes a clothing image acquisition unit, which is used to acquire image information of the clothing to be processed. In one example, the clothing processing device is a drum-type clothing processing device, and the clothing image acquisition unit can be arranged on the side of the front plate away from the clothing processing drum, and acquire clothing image information before the clothing to be processed is put into the clothing processing drum. The clothing image acquisition unit can also be arranged on the side of the front plate facing the clothing processing drum, and acquire clothing image information after the clothing to be processed is put into the clothing processing drum, and the clothing image acquisition unit is, for example, a camera.

[0070] Optionally, the clothing processing device further includes a photosensor, which is used to sense the light in the environment where the clothing processing device is located. The photosensor includes a photoresistor. When the photoresistor is exposed to light, the conductivity of the photoresistor changes, thereby causing the resistance of the photoresistor to change. The stronger the light, the lower the resistance of the photoresistor. When the photoresistor is exposed to light within a certain wavelength range, its resistance (bright resistance) will change dramatically, so the current in the circuit where the photoresistor is located will increase rapidly, thereby obtaining the characteristic that the current of the photoresistor changes with light, that is, Lb, where I is the current passing through the photoresistor, U is the voltage applied to the photoresistor, L is the illumination on the photoresistor, K is the proportionality coefficient determined by the material of the photoresistor, a is the voltage index, which is generally close to 1, and b is the light index. Therefore, the wavelength and brightness of the ambient light in which the clothing processing device is located can be determined based on the photosensitive sensor. In one example, the clothing processing device is a drum-type clothing processing device, and the photosensitive sensor is arranged on the side of the front plate away from the clothing processing drum.

[0071] Optionally, the clothing processing apparatus further includes a control device, which can be configured to determine clothing properties based on the clothing image acquired by the clothing image acquisition unit, and determine ambient light properties based on current changes of the photosensor, and determine characteristic values ​​of the light inside the drum of the downlight at the target clothing surface brightness based on the clothing properties and the ambient light properties, determine the wavelength and brightness of the downlight at the target clothing surface brightness based on the characteristic values ​​of the light inside the drum, and control the downlight to light up at the determined wavelength and brightness of the downlight.

[0072] The technical solution of this embodiment is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following implementation modes and examples may be combined with each other if there is no conflict.

[0073] According to an exemplary embodiment, this embodiment provides a downlight control method for a clothes processing device, and the downlight control method includes the following steps:

[0074] S11. Acquire clothing attributes and ambient light attributes.

[0075] Specifically, there are many factors that affect the brightness of the clothing surface. For example, if the glossiness of the clothing surface is high, the amount of light reflected by its specular surface is large, and the object seen by the human eye is brighter. On the contrary, if the glossiness of the clothing surface is low, the light is scattered everywhere under the effect of diffuse reflection, and the clothing surface will appear darker. The rough clothing surface will form larger and darker highlights because the reflection direction of light on the rough surface of the clothing will change randomly, resulting in light dispersion. The smooth clothing surface will keep the highlights concentrated and appear brighter at a specific angle. Dark clothing absorbs all wavelengths of light and therefore appears darker. Light-colored clothing absorbs part of the light and reflects the remaining light, so it appears brighter. The intensity and distribution of ambient light will also affect the brightness of the object surface. For example, an object may appear brighter in a bright environment and darker in a dim environment.

[0076] Therefore, before or after the user puts the clothes to be processed into the clothes processing drum, the clothes properties and ambient light properties of the clothes to be processed need to be obtained first, wherein the clothes properties include clothes glossiness, clothes roughness and clothes color, and the ambient light properties include at least ambient light wavelength and ambient light brightness. After obtaining the clothes properties and ambient light properties, the clothes properties can be combined with the ambient light properties to adjust the downlight.

[0077] S12, determining the wavelength and brightness of the downlight at the target clothing surface brightness according to the clothing properties and the ambient light properties;

[0078] Specifically, after determining the clothing attributes and the ambient light attributes, the target clothing surface brightness needs to be determined. The target clothing surface brightness can be the clothing surface brightness preset by the clothing processing device, or can be selected by the user. The user can select the desired clothing surface brightness on the washing machine interactive interface. For example, the clothing surface brightness can be divided into three clothing surface brightness levels, namely high brightness (value m1), medium brightness (value m2), and low brightness (value m3) (see Table 1):

[0079] Table 1: Clothing surface brightness levels

[0080]

[0081] The control panel of the clothing processing device or the control interface of the user's mobile control terminal has control buttons for the brightness level of the clothing surface: "high brightness", "medium brightness" and "low brightness". Before starting the clothing processing device, the user first selects the desired brightness level, and then determines the wavelength and brightness of the downlight based on the brightness level selected by the user in combination with the clothing properties and the ambient light properties.

[0082] S13, controlling the downlight to light up at a determined wavelength and brightness.

[0083] Specifically, after determining the wavelength and brightness of the downlight, the downlight is controlled to light up at the determined wavelength and brightness. For example, the duty cycle of the RGB control signal can be adjusted according to the wavelength of the downlight, and the power of the downlight can be adjusted according to the brightness of the downlight. After the downlight is lit, the light emitted by the downlight is irradiated onto the clothes in the clothing processing drum, so that the surface brightness of the clothes can reach the target surface brightness of the clothes required by the user, and at the same time, the waste of light energy can be effectively avoided.

[0084] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, determining the wavelength and brightness of the downlight at the target clothing surface brightness according to clothing properties and ambient light properties includes the following steps:

[0085] S21. Determine clothing surface characteristic values ​​according to clothing glossiness and clothing roughness.

[0086] Specifically, the surface characteristic value ywtz of the clothing is determined by the glossiness gz of the clothing and the roughness cc of the clothing, that is, f(ywtz)=f(gz,cc). Under the condition of the same clothing roughness cc, the greater the glossiness gz of the clothing, the greater the surface characteristic value ywtz of the clothing. Under the condition of the same clothing glossiness gz, the greater the clothing roughness cc, the greater the surface characteristic value ywtz of the clothing. The surface characteristic value of the clothing may be a function of the glossiness and roughness of the clothing, or may have a first corresponding relationship with the glossiness and roughness of the clothing.

[0087] In one example, determining a clothing surface characteristic value according to clothing glossiness and clothing roughness includes: determining a clothing surface characteristic value corresponding to a current clothing glossiness and a current clothing roughness according to a first correspondence between clothing glossiness and clothing roughness and clothing surface characteristic values; wherein, under the condition of the same clothing roughness, the clothing surface characteristic value is positively correlated with the clothing glossiness. The first correspondence refers to Table 2.

[0088] Table 2: The first correspondence between clothing surface characteristic values ​​and roughness and glossiness

[0089]

[0090] S22. Determine an ambient light characteristic value according to the ambient light wavelength and the ambient light brightness.

[0091] Specifically, the ambient light characteristic value hjgx is determined by the wavelength wbgy and brightness wbld of the ambient light outside the clothing processing device, and f(hjgx)=f(wbgy, wbld). The ambient light characteristic value may be a function of the ambient light wavelength and the ambient light brightness, or may have a second corresponding relationship with the ambient light wavelength and the ambient light brightness.

[0092] In one example, determining the ambient light characteristic value according to the ambient light wavelength and the ambient light brightness includes: determining the ambient light characteristic value corresponding to the current ambient light wavelength and the current ambient light brightness according to a second correspondence between the ambient light wavelength and the ambient light brightness and the ambient light characteristic value. The second correspondence is shown in Table 3.

[0093] Table 3: The second corresponding relationship between the ambient light characteristic value and the ambient light wavelength and ambient light brightness

[0094]

[0095] S23. Determine a clothing color feature value according to the clothing color.

[0096] Specifically, the colors of the clothes are sorted from light to dark according to the color spectrum, and clothes of different brightness correspond to different clothing color characteristic values. The clothing color characteristic value can be a function of the clothing brightness, or can have a third corresponding relationship with a preset clothing brightness level.

[0097] In one example, determining a clothing color feature value according to clothing color includes: determining a color level of the current clothing color, and determining a clothing color feature value corresponding to the current clothing color according to a third correspondence between the color level and the clothing color feature value. For example, clothing is divided into light colors and dark colors according to the brightness of the clothing color, the color feature value corresponding to the light colors is ys1, and the color feature value corresponding to the dark colors is ys2.

[0098] S24, determining the characteristic value of the light in the drum at the target clothing surface brightness according to the clothing surface characteristic value, the ambient light characteristic value and the clothing color characteristic value.

[0099] Specifically, the clothing surface brightness bmld is determined by the clothing surface characteristic value ywtz, the clothing color characteristic value ys, the ambient light characteristic value hjgx and the drum light characteristic value tngx, that is, f(bmld)=f(ywtz, ys, hjgx, tngx). When the clothing surface brightness bmld, the clothing surface characteristic value ywtz, the clothing color characteristic value ys and the ambient light characteristic value hjgx are determined, the drum light characteristic value tngx can be determined. tngx can be a function of the clothing surface characteristic value ywtz, the clothing color characteristic value ys and the ambient light characteristic value hjgx, and can also have a fourth corresponding relationship with the clothing surface characteristic value ywtz, the clothing color characteristic value ys and the ambient light characteristic value hjgx.

[0100] In one example, determining the light characteristic value in the drum at the target clothing surface brightness according to the clothing surface characteristic value, the ambient light characteristic value, and the clothing color characteristic value includes: determining the light characteristic value in the drum at the target clothing surface brightness according to the fourth corresponding relationship between the clothing surface characteristic value, the ambient light characteristic value, the clothing color characteristic value, and the light characteristic value in the drum at the target clothing surface brightness; wherein, when the clothing surface characteristic value, the ambient light characteristic value, and the clothing color characteristic value are the same, the light characteristic values ​​in the drum corresponding to different target clothing surface brightnesses are different. The fourth corresponding relationship under different target clothing surface brightnesses refers to Table 4:

[0101] Table 4: The fourth correspondence between the characteristic value of the light in the drum and the characteristic value of the surface of the clothing, the characteristic value of the ambient light and the characteristic value of the color of the clothing at the target clothing surface brightness

[0102]

[0103] m in Table 4 x is the brightness value corresponding to the target clothing surface brightness. For example, when the clothing surface brightness is “high brightness”, m x is m1; when the surface brightness of the clothing is "medium brightness", m x is m2; when the surface brightness of the clothing is "low brightness", m x is m3.

[0104] S25. Determine the wavelength and brightness of the downlight according to the characteristic value of the light in the downlight.

[0105] Specifically, the characteristic value of the light in the tube tngx is determined by the wavelength and brightness tnld of the downlight, that is, f(tngy)=f(rgb, tnld). The downlight is composed of red, green and blue primary color LED lights, which can produce all colors in the visible light spectrum. The characteristic value of the light in the tube can be a function of the wavelength and brightness of the downlight, or it can have a fifth correspondence with the wavelength and brightness of the downlight.

[0106] In one example, determining the wavelength and brightness of the downlight according to the characteristic value of the light in the tube includes: determining the wavelength and brightness of the downlight corresponding to the current characteristic value of the light in the tube according to the fifth corresponding relationship between the wavelength and brightness of the downlight and the characteristic value of the light in the tube. The fifth corresponding relationship between the characteristic value of the light in the tube and the wavelength and brightness of the downlight is shown in Table 5:

[0107] Table 5: The fifth correspondence between the characteristic value of the light inside the tube and the wavelength and brightness of the downlight

[0108]

[0109] In a specific example, combining Figure 5, when the user puts the clothes into the clothes processing device, the clothes processing device obtains the surface feature value ywtz and color value (the light color value is ys1, the dark color value is ys2) of the clothes through image recognition technology, and obtains the ambient brightness f(hjgx)=f(wbgy, wbld) according to the current value I of the photosensitive sensor. The user inputs the expected clothing surface brightness value m, and determines whether m is m1. If so, it enters the m1 lighting mode. If not, it determines whether m is m2. If so, it enters the m2 lighting mode. If not, it enters the m3 lighting mode. After entering the corresponding lighting mode, the tngx value is obtained by looking up the table according to the known parameters m value, ywtz value, ys value and hjgx value, and then the wavelength λ and brightness tnld of the downlight are obtained by looking up the table through the obtained tngx. The duty cycle of the RGB control signal is adjusted according to the wavelength λ and brightness tnld of the downlight.

[0110] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, after controlling the downlight to light up at a determined wavelength and brightness, the downlight control method further includes the following steps:

[0111] S31, determining a laundry processing parameter of a laundry processing device, the laundry processing parameter including a water intake amount and / or a rotation speed of a laundry processing drum;

[0112] S32: adjusting the brightness of the downlight based on the target clothing surface brightness and clothing treatment parameters.

[0113] Specifically, when the downlights are lit with the same wavelength and brightness, when different clothing treatment parameters are used to treat the clothing, the brightness of the clothing surface will be different.

[0114] For example, when there is less water in the laundry treatment drum, the small amount of water in the laundry treatment drum reflects the light more clearly. Due to the refraction of a small amount of water, the laundry in the drum appears to be closer to the observation window than the actual position, and the scattering effect of a small amount of water on the light is relatively weak, so the light is relatively concentrated. When the user checks the laundry in the drum from the observation window, the laundry in the drum appears to be clearer and the surface brightness of the laundry is higher. When there is more water in the laundry treatment drum, if there is a slight shake, the reflection of the light on the water surface will shake accordingly, forming a dynamic light spot effect, and the refraction of water will be more obvious, and the color of the light will change after passing through the water layer. With more water, the scattering effect of water on the light is enhanced, causing the light to scatter in all directions. When the user checks the laundry in the drum from the observation window, the clarity of the laundry in the drum is lower and the surface brightness of the laundry is lower.

[0115] When the laundry treatment drum rotates, the laundry in the drum moves with the rotation of the laundry treatment drum. When the laundry treatment drum rotates at a lower speed, the laundry in the drum moves slowly. When the light shines on the laundry, the light and shadow effect is relatively stable, and the brightness distribution on the surface of the laundry is relatively uniform, without obvious changes in light and dark. When the user checks the laundry in the drum from the observation window, the laundry in the drum looks clearer and the surface brightness of the laundry is higher. When the laundry treatment drum rotates at a higher speed, the laundry in the drum moves faster, the light and shadow on the surface of the laundry will become blurred, and it may even be difficult to distinguish the shape of the laundry. When the laundry moves at high speed with the drum, an obvious trailing effect will be produced under the illumination of the downlight. The human eye cannot keep up with the speed of the laundry in time, resulting in the superposition of the images of the laundry at different positions. When the user checks the laundry in the drum from the observation window, the clarity of the laundry in the drum is relatively low, and the surface brightness of the laundry is low.

[0116] Therefore, in order to ensure that the clothes in the clothing processing drum can reach the target clothing surface brightness required by the user under different operating parameters of the clothing processing equipment, the wavelength and brightness of the downlight are determined in the aforementioned steps S11~S13, and after the downlight is controlled to light up with the determined wavelength and brightness, at least the brightness of the downlight is adjusted according to the current clothing processing parameters of the clothing processing equipment.

[0117] In one example, when the clothing treatment parameters include the amount of water inflow, adjusting the brightness of the downlight based on the target clothing surface brightness and the clothing treatment parameters includes: when the amount of water inflow is greater than the set amount of water, reducing the brightness of the downlight; when the amount of water inflow is less than the set amount of water, increasing the brightness of the downlight. The set amount of water inflow is the amount of water inflow corresponding to the target clothing surface brightness that the wavelength and brightness of the downlight determined according to steps S11 to S13 can reach. When the amount of water inflow is greater than the set amount of water, it means that the clothing surface brightness cannot reach the target clothing surface brightness after the downlight is lit at the determined wavelength and brightness of the downlight, and the brightness of the downlight needs to be increased. When the amount of water inflow is less than the set amount of water, it means that the clothing surface brightness is higher than the target clothing surface brightness after the downlight is lit at the determined wavelength and brightness of the downlight, and the brightness of the downlight needs to be reduced.

[0118] In one example, when the laundry processing parameters include the rotation speed of the laundry processing drum, the brightness of the downlight is adjusted based on the target laundry surface brightness and the laundry processing parameters, including: when the rotation speed of the laundry processing drum is greater than the set rotation speed, the brightness of the downlight is increased; when the rotation speed of the laundry processing drum is less than the set water volume, the brightness of the downlight is reduced. The set rotation speed is the laundry processing drum rotation speed corresponding to the wavelength and brightness of the downlight determined according to steps S11 to S13, which can reach the target laundry surface brightness. When the rotation speed of the laundry processing drum is greater than the set rotation speed, it means that the surface brightness of the laundry cannot reach the target laundry surface brightness after the downlight is lit with the determined wavelength and brightness of the downlight, and the brightness of the downlight needs to be increased. When the rotation speed of the laundry processing drum is less than the set rotation speed, it means that the surface brightness of the laundry is higher than the target laundry surface brightness after the downlight is lit with the determined wavelength and brightness of the downlight, and the brightness of the downlight needs to be reduced.

[0119] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, after controlling the downlight to light up at a determined wavelength and brightness, the downlight control method further includes the following steps:

[0120] S41, determining a clothing processing stage of a clothing processing device, where the clothing processing stage includes a washing stage, a rinsing stage, and a dehydration stage;

[0121] S42: Adjust the brightness of the downlight based on the target clothing surface brightness and the clothing processing stage.

[0122] Specifically, considering that the operating parameters of the laundry treatment drum are different in different laundry treatment stages, for example, in the washing stage, the amount of water in the laundry treatment drum is small, and the rotation speed of the laundry treatment drum is low; in the rinsing stage, the amount of water in the laundry treatment drum is large, and the rotation speed of the laundry treatment drum is low; in the dehydration stage, the laundry treatment drum does not take in water, and the rotation speed of the laundry treatment drum is high. The amount of water inflow and the rotation speed of the laundry treatment drum will affect the brightness of the laundry surface. Therefore, after determining the wavelength and brightness of the downlight in the aforementioned steps S11 to S13, and controlling the downlight to light up at the determined wavelength and brightness, this embodiment adjusts the brightness of the downlight according to the laundry treatment stage in which the laundry treatment device is located, so that the surface brightness of the laundry at any laundry treatment stage can reach the target surface brightness of the laundry.

[0123] In one example, the brightness of the downlight is adjusted based on the target clothing surface brightness and the clothing processing stage, including: when the clothing processing stage is the washing stage, under the combined influence of less water intake and lower rotation speed, the clothing surface brightness is high when the downlight is lit at a determined brightness, and at this time the brightness of the downlight needs to be reduced; when the clothing processing stage is the rinsing stage, under the combined influence of more water intake and lower rotation speed, the target clothing surface brightness can be achieved by lighting the downlight at a determined brightness, and at this time the brightness of the downlight only needs to be maintained; when the clothing processing stage is the dehydration stage, although there is no water in the drum, the rotation speed is the highest at this time, and the degree of influence on the clothing surface brightness exceeds the degree of influence of water intake on the clothing surface brightness, and the target clothing surface brightness cannot be achieved by lighting the downlight at a determined brightness, and at this time the brightness of the downlight needs to be increased.
