Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of smart home technology, specifically relating to an adaptive operation method, device, equipment, and medium for an additional program of a laundry device. Background Technology

[0002] Laundry equipment, such as washing machines and washer-dryer combos, are indispensable household appliances in modern families, and their intelligent design directly affects the user experience.

[0003] After a washing machine completes its cycle, it typically waits for the user to manually remove the clothes and allow them to air dry, preventing them from remaining damp for extended periods. However, sometimes users forget to remove their clothes due to other tasks, leading to bacterial growth and affecting the wearability of the garments. Therefore, many washing machines generate periodic alerts, such as alarm sounds, to inform users that the clothes are still inside the drum and need to be removed. However, this is not an effective solution; if the user leaves the room or the alarm is too soft to be heard, the clothes remain inside the machine. Therefore, how to promptly process washed clothes is a crucial technical challenge that urgently needs to be addressed by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides an adaptive operation method, apparatus, device, and medium for an additional program of a washing machine. The purpose is to further process the clothes in the drum using an adaptive program operation mode after the washing program is completed and the user has not removed the clothes in time, so as to improve the intelligence of the washing machine and enhance the overall user experience.

[0010] Furthermore, after performing the drying procedure to dry the clothes inside the washing machine drum, the method further includes:

[0011] If the clothes are not removed within a third preset time after the washing program is completed, a command to open the door of the washing machine is generated.

[0012] The washing machine is controlled to open the door according to the door opening command.

[0013] Furthermore, controlling the washing machine to execute the door opening operation according to the door opening command includes:

[0015] Obtain the status information of the clothes inside the drum of the washing machine;

[0016] Based on the target opening information and the status information, determine whether a clothing falling event will occur during the door opening process;

[0017] If no clothing falls off, the door opening command is executed to control the door to open according to the target opening information.

[0018] Furthermore, after performing the drying procedure to dry the clothes inside the washing machine drum, the method further includes:

[0019] If the clothes are not removed within the third preset time after the washing program is completed, a disinfection command for the clothes inside the washing machine drum is generated.

[0020] The washing machine is controlled to spray disinfectant gas into the drum to disinfect the clothes inside.

[0021] Furthermore, prior to performing the drying process, the method further includes:

[0022] Identify whether the clothes inside the drum of the washing machine meet the conditions for executing the drying program;

[0023] If the conditions are met, then execute the drying procedure;

[0024] If the conditions are not met, the drying process will be prohibited.

[0025] Furthermore, identifying whether the clothes inside the drum of the washing machine meet the conditions for executing the drying program includes:

[0026] Identify whether there are clothes in the drum made of materials that are prohibited from being dried;

[0027] If it exists, then the conditions for executing the drying program are not met;

[0028] If it does not exist, then the conditions for executing the drying program are met.

[0029] Furthermore, prior to performing the drying process, the method further includes:

[0030] Identify the material and weight information of the roller underwear;

[0031] Based on the material information and the weight information, the drying parameters of the drying program are determined; wherein, the drying parameters include one or more of the following: drying time, drying temperature, and drying air speed.

[0046] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0048] The adaptive operation method, apparatus, device, and medium of the additional program of the laundry equipment provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0049] Example 1

[0050] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the adaptive operation method of the additional program for the laundry equipment provided in Embodiment 1 of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the specific steps include the following:

[0051] S101, after the washing machine completes the washing program, start the garment removal monitoring;

[0052] First, this application applies to scenarios where additional programs for laundry equipment are automatically executed. Based on the above usage scenario, it can be understood that the executing entity of this application can be the main controller of the laundry equipment, or a server or external intelligent control device used to control the laundry equipment. Such external intelligent control devices include smartphones, tablets, and user smart wearable devices, such as smartwatches, smart glasses, and smart bracelets.

[0053] A washing program can be an automatic or manually selected program after the user puts the clothes to be washed into the drum of the washing machine. It can include one or more of the following operations: washing, rinsing, spin-drying, and tumble drying. Under normal circumstances, the user can directly select the features of the entire washing program, such as "super gentle wash" or "powerful wash". After the user completes the selection of the washing program, the washing machine can run according to the selected washing program.

[0054] After the washing machine finishes running, monitoring can be initiated to check whether clothes have been removed. This includes monitoring whether the washing machine door was opened or whether the weight of clothes inside the drum has decreased. The monitoring information could be door opening / closing information or clothing weight information, which can be acquired using sensors.

[0055] The door can refer to the main body of the door, also known as the door panel or door leaf, used to separate the outside of the container from the inside. The door frame, corresponding to the door, can refer to the frame embedded in the washing machine. For washing machines, the door separates the outside of the washing machine from the washing tub, allowing users to place or remove clothes from the tub by opening the door.

[0056] The door and its frame may be fitted with latches at corresponding positions, which can be used to open the door or close the door by unlocking the latch.

[0057] S102, if the clothes are not removed within the first preset time after the washing program is completed, generate a prompt message indicating that the washing of clothes is complete;

[0058] The first preset duration can be a calculated duration. For example, if statistical calculations show that users will take out their clothes within 10 minutes after the washing program ends, then the first preset duration can be set to 10 minutes. Understandably, it can also be set to a shorter or longer time; no specific limitation is made here.

[0059] In this solution, if the clothes are not removed within a first preset time period, a notification message indicating that the washing process is complete is generated. This notification message can be displayed on the control panel of the washing machine, or emitted as a notification sound through the machine's speaker. Alternatively, the notification message can be emitted through a smart control device that is associated with or connected to the washing machine. For example, if a user's smartphone is linked to the washing machine via an app, the notification message can be emitted through the smartphone's app to inform the user.

[0060] S103, if it is detected that the clothes have not been removed within a second preset time after the washing program is completed, identify whether the washing equipment supports the operation of the drying program.

[0061] In this solution, the second preset duration can be longer than the first preset duration, and it is assumed that the duration of the clothes remaining in the drum of the washing machine is caused by the user forgetting to take them out. For example, the second preset duration can be 1 hour, 2 hours or other longer or shorter durations.

[0062] If the laundry is not removed within the second preset time period, it can be determined whether the current washing machine supports the drying program. For example, if the current washing machine has a drying function, it can be determined that it has a drying program and supports its operation; if the current washing machine does not have a drying function, it can be determined that it does not support the drying program.

[0063] Specifically, this solution can identify whether a washing machine has a drying function. For example, it can identify the model information of the washing machine and compare it with a pre-set model and function comparison table to determine whether the washing machine has a drying function.

[0064] S104, if the drying program is supported, the drying program is executed to dry the clothes in the washing machine drum.

[0065] If the washing machine supports a drying program, the drying program can be executed to dry the clothes inside the drum.

[0066] Washing machines use heating and circulating airflow to quickly dry clothes. Advantages include high drying efficiency, no weather restrictions, and the ability to sterilize and disinfect clothes. Some washing machines also support wrinkle removal and fluffing functions.

[0067] The technical solution provided in this embodiment initiates clothing removal monitoring after the washing machine completes the washing program. If the clothing is not removed within a first preset time period after the washing program is completed, a notification message indicating that the washing is complete is generated. If the clothing is not removed within a second preset time period after the washing program is completed, it is determined whether the washing machine supports a drying program. If the drying program is supported, it is executed to dry the clothing in the washing machine drum. This technical solution, by monitoring the duration after the washing program is completed, can implement different processing methods at different durations, using an adaptive program operation mode to further process the clothing in the drum, thereby improving the intelligence of the washing machine and enhancing the overall user experience.

[0068] In one embodiment, optionally, the method further includes, before performing the drying process:

[0069] Identify whether the clothes inside the drum of the washing machine meet the conditions for executing the drying program;

[0070] If the conditions are met, then execute the drying procedure;

[0071] If the conditions are not met, the drying process will be prohibited.

[0072] In this solution, assuming the washing equipment has a drying function, it can further identify whether the clothes inside the drum can be dried. For example, clothes made of materials such as silk and wool may shrink, deform, or have their fiber structure damaged during drying. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the clothes inside the drum. If the clothes are identified as meeting the conditions for the drying program, the drying program continues to run; if the clothes are identified as not meeting the conditions for the drying program, the drying program is stopped.

[0073] In another scenario, it could be based on whether the current quantity of clothes in the drum meets the drying requirements. For example, if the quantity of clothes in the drum is very small and will not have a significant impact without drying, then it could be determined that the drying procedure is not met if the quantity of clothes in the drum is less than a preset quantity or the quantity of clothes in the drum is less than a preset quantity.

[0074] This embodiment, through this setting, allows for the verification of whether the clothes inside the drum meet the execution conditions before the drying program is executed. This embodiment can perform a safety check before executing the drying program, avoiding damage to clothes due to the adaptive operation of additional programs, improving the rationality of the washing machine's program operation, enhancing the user experience, and preventing economic losses caused by damaged clothes or energy waste from unnecessarily executing the drying program.

[0075] Based on the above technical solutions, optionally, identifying whether the clothes inside the drum of the washing machine meet the conditions for executing the drying program includes:

[0076] Identify whether there are clothes in the drum made of materials that are prohibited from being dried;

[0077] If it exists, then the conditions for executing the drying program are not met;

[0078] If it does not exist, then the conditions for executing the drying program are met.

[0079] This plan prohibits the drying of clothing made of materials such as silk and wool.

[0080] This solution can identify clothing materials in several ways. For example, when the user places the clothes into the washing machine, they can manually select the materials on the control panel. Before the washing machine starts the washing program, the material of the clothes can be identified by the color and friction properties of the clothes inside the drum. Alternatively, before or after the clothes are placed into the drum, image data of the clothes to be washed can be acquired, and machine learning models can be used to identify the material information of the clothes.

[0081] In one specific solution, a pre-defined recognition model can identify the material of the clothing and determine whether it is made of a material that should not be tumble dried. If so, the model outputs a result indicating that the conditions for executing the drying program are not met; otherwise, it outputs a result indicating that the conditions for executing the drying program are met. This allows for direct determination of whether the conditions for executing the drying program are met based on the model's output. Furthermore, the model can be optimized based on actual test results to obtain more accurate outputs. This enables accurate determination of whether the additional drying program should be executed after the washing machine has completed its washing cycle, once the system is in use.

[0082] For example, this solution can be implemented using the following code:

[0083] import tensorflow as tf

[0084] from tensorflow.keras.datasets import fashion_mnist

[0085] from tensorflow.keras.models import Sequential

[0086] from tensorflow.keras.layers import Conv2D,MaxPooling2D,Flatten,Dense

[0087] # Load the Fashion MNIST dataset

[0088] minist=fashion_mnist.load_data()

[0089] (training_images,training_labels),(test_images,test_labels)=minist

[0090] #Data Preprocessing

[0091] training_images=training_images / 255.0

[0092] test_images=test_images / 255.0

[0093] #Building a Model

[0094] model = Sequential([

[0095] Conv2D(32,(3,3),activation='relu',input_shape=(28,28,1)),

[0096] MaxPooling2D((2,2)),

[0097] Conv2D(64,(3,3),activation='relu'),

[0098] MaxPooling2D((2,2)),

[0099] Flatten(),

[0100] Dense(128,activation='relu'),

[0101] Dense(10,activation='softmax') ])

[0103] #Compilation Model

[0104] model.compile(optimizer='adam',

[0105] loss=tf.keras.losses.SparseCategoricalCrossentropy(from_logits=True),

[0106] metrics = ['accuracy'])

[0107] #Training the model

[0108] model.fit(training_images,training_labels,epochs=10)

[0109] #Evaluate the model on the test set

[0110] test_loss,test_acc=model.evaluate(test_images,test_labels)

[0111] print('Test accuracy:',test_acc);

[0112] The code above first loads the Fashion MNIST dataset, which contains images of clothing in 10 categories. Then, the data is preprocessed, normalizing pixel values ​​to between 0 and 1. Next, a simple convolutional neural network model is built, consisting of convolutional layers, pooling layers, fully connected layers, and an output layer. The model's input is a 28x28 grayscale image, and its output is the probability distribution for the 10 categories. The compiled model is then trained on the training set, and its performance is evaluated on the test set.

[0113] This solution, through this setting, prevents the drying program from being executed when there are clothes in the drum containing materials that are prohibited from being dried. In other words, the additional drying program is not executed, thus ensuring the safety of clothes in the drum while the additional program operates adaptively, and improving the intelligence level of the washing equipment.

[0114] Based on the above technical solutions, optionally, before executing the drying process, the method further includes:

[0115] Identify the material and weight information of the roller underwear;

[0116] Based on the material information and the weight information, the drying parameters of the drying program are determined; wherein, the drying parameters include one or more of the following: drying time, drying temperature, and drying air speed.

[0117] The material information can be the fabric of the clothing, such as cotton, linen, silk, down, etc. The weight information is the total weight of the clothes in the drum, which can be obtained through a weight sensor.

[0118] In one approach, the drying parameters selected during the drying process can be determined by identifying the material and weight information of the garments worn in the tumble dryer. For example, thinner materials like silk can be dried at a lower temperature and for a shorter time, while thicker materials like cotton or linen require a higher temperature and a longer time. Similarly, heavier garments require a higher temperature and a longer time, while lighter garments require a lower temperature and a shorter time.

[0119] In this solution, by obtaining material and weight information, the specific parameters selected during the execution of the drying program can be determined, which can ensure the drying effect, take into account energy efficiency, prevent clothes from being damaged by excessive temperature, and improve the intelligence of the washing equipment.

[0120] Example 2

[0121] Figure 2This is a flowchart illustrating the adaptive operation method of the additional program for a washing machine provided in Embodiment 2 of this application. This solution makes a further improvement to the above embodiment, specifically: after executing the drying program to dry the clothes inside the washing machine drum, the method further includes: if it is detected that the clothes have not been removed within a third preset time period after the washing program is completed, generating a door opening command for the washing machine; and controlling the washing machine to execute the door opening operation according to the door opening command. Figure 2 As shown, the specific steps include the following:

[0122] S201, After the washing machine completes the washing program, start the garment removal monitoring;

[0123] S202, if the clothes are not removed within the first preset time after the washing program is completed, generate a prompt message indicating that the washing of clothes is complete;

[0124] S203, if it is detected that the clothes have not been removed within a second preset time after the washing program is completed, identify whether the washing equipment supports the operation of the drying program.

[0125] S204, If the drying program is supported, the drying program is executed to dry the clothes in the washing machine drum.

[0126] S205, if the clothes are not removed within the third preset time after the washing program is completed, a door opening command for the washing machine is generated;

[0127] The third preset duration can be a longer time than the second preset duration. For example, if the second preset duration is 1 hour, then the third preset duration can be 1.5 hours.

[0128] In this solution, if no clothes are removed within a certain time after the drying program is executed, a door opening command can be generated. Specifically, the door opening command can be issued by the microcontroller of the washing machine or by an externally connected smart control terminal.

[0129] S206, control the washing machine to perform the door opening operation according to the door opening command.

[0130] During the execution of the door opening command, a door hinge angle limiting device can be used to control the opening of the door. This door hinge angle limiting device can be a device used to control the rotation of the door hinge within a preset angle range. The door hinge can refer to the axis around which the door rotates when it opens and closes.

[0131] In this design, the door can open at a first preset speed. This first preset speed can be a pre-set angular velocity of the door's rotation. This first preset speed can be controlled by a drive motor located at the door's pivot point. For example, sending a control command to the drive motor will cause it to open the door at the first preset speed, and sending another control command will cause it to close the door at the same speed.

[0132] In this solution, during the opening process of the door, it is possible to identify whether there are obstacles in the opening path of the door. For example, the identification can be performed by a distance sensor component on the outside of the door. If an obstacle is detected within a certain distance, it is determined that there is an obstacle. The door can be controlled to pause opening, or a prompt message can be sent to inform the user of the existence of the obstacle so that the user can manually remove the obstacle based on the prompt message.

[0133] As another implementation method, it is also possible to continuously identify whether there are obstacles in the opening path of the door during the opening process. This identification method is more accurate and can also identify obstacles that are suddenly added during the opening process and prevent collisions. For example, if the user walks directly in front of the door during the opening process, the door can be identified as an obstacle and the opening can be stopped to avoid a collision.

[0134] If there are no obstacles along the path identified as the door opening to a preset opening degree, the door can be controlled to open to the preset opening degree at a second preset speed. The preset opening degree can be the door opening to a position perpendicular to the front of the washing machine.

[0135] In this solution, the second preset speed is greater than the first preset speed. That is, if there is no obstacle during the process of detecting that the door is opening to the preset opening degree, the door will open to the preset opening degree at a faster speed, so as to provide users with a faster solution for opening the door.

[0136] In one embodiment, optionally, controlling the washing machine to perform the door opening operation according to the door opening command includes:

[0137] Read the target opening information from the door opening command;

[0138] Obtain the status information of the clothes inside the drum of the washing machine;

[0139] Based on the target opening information and the status information, determine whether a clothing falling event will occur during the door opening process;

[0140] If no clothing falls off, the door opening command is executed to control the door to open according to the target opening information.

[0141] The target opening information can be the angle information of the preset opening, such as the angle formed between the door and the front of the washing machine after the door is opened, or the angle through which the door hinge rotates.

[0142] After determining the target opening information, the state information of the clothes inside the drum can be identified. This state information can include the stacking position of the clothes inside the drum. For example, if the clothes are piled closer to the inside of the drum, they are unlikely to fall out when the door is opened. Conversely, if they are piled closer to the outside of the drum, i.e., near the door, the clothes will be stacked higher inside the door, and in this case, clothes will fall out once the door is opened.

[0143] Therefore, this solution can determine whether clothing will fall during the door opening process based on the target opening degree and status information before the door opens. If not, the door can be controlled to open. If a fall occurs, the door can be controlled to close or the opening degree can be reduced to ensure that clothing does not fall.

[0144] The advantage of this design is that it ensures that clothes will not fall out during the opening of the washing machine door, thus protecting the washed clothes.

[0145] The technical solution provided in this embodiment, based on the above embodiments, provides a method to automatically open the door of the washing machine if the user has not taken out the clothes during a longer waiting time. On the one hand, it can attract the user's attention when they pass by, so that they can take out the clothes in time. On the other hand, by opening the door, the clothes are prevented from being kept in the closed area for a long time. This ensures the drying effect while preventing the clothes from becoming damp due to the damp environment inside the drum, which could cause bacteria to grow on the clothes or make them damp.

[0146] In another feasible embodiment, optionally, after performing the drying procedure to dry the clothes inside the washing machine drum, the method further includes:

[0147] If the clothes are not removed within the third preset time after the washing program is completed, a disinfection command for the clothes inside the washing machine drum is generated.

[0148] The washing machine is controlled to spray disinfectant gas into the drum to disinfect the clothes inside.

[0149] The disinfection instruction can also be generated a certain amount of time after the drying program has finished running. This disinfection instruction can be generated by the microcontroller of the washing machine.

[0150] After generating a disinfection command, the washing machine can be controlled to spray disinfectant gas into the drum. Here, the disinfectant gas can be ozone. Ozone is a strong oxidizing gas with highly efficient disinfection properties; its sterilization effect is 600 times that of ordinary antibiotics and 3000 times that of ultraviolet light. It can kill a variety of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, with a kill rate of up to 99.5% against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. In addition, disinfection can also be achieved through ultraviolet irradiation and other methods.

[0151] This solution, through its configuration, can adaptively execute a disinfection program even when clothes have not been removed for an extended period, ensuring the cleanliness of clothes inside the drum and improving the user experience of the laundry equipment.

[0152] Example 3

[0153] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the adaptive operation device for the additional program of the laundry equipment provided in Embodiment 3 of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the device includes:

[0154] The monitoring startup module 301 is used to start the clothing removal monitoring after the washing machine completes the washing program;

[0155] The prompt module 302 is used to generate a prompt message indicating that the washing of clothes is complete if the clothes are not removed within a first preset time after the washing program is completed.

[0156] The operating condition identification module 303 is used to identify whether the washing equipment supports the operation of the drying program if the clothes are not removed within a second preset time after the washing program is completed.

[0157] The drying execution module 304 is used to execute the drying program if the drying program is supported, so as to dry the clothes in the drum of the washing machine.

[0158] The technical solution provided in this embodiment starts monitoring clothing removal after the washing machine completes the washing program. If the clothing is not removed within a first preset time after the washing program is completed, a prompt message indicating that the washing is complete is generated. If the clothing is not removed within a second preset time after the washing program is completed, it identifies whether the washing machine supports a drying program. If the drying program is supported, it is executed to dry the clothing in the washing machine drum.
