[0024] See attached Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing the main steps of a method for controlling adding clothes midway according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the mid-course adding-clothing control method in the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps S1 to S3.
[0025] S1. Obtaining a time period selected by a user from a plurality of preset selectable time periods for adding clothes as a time period for adding clothes;
[0026] S2. During the clothing processing, determining whether the selected time period for adding clothes has been reached, and if the selected time period for waiting to add clothes has been reached, pausing the current processing program of the clothing processing device;
[0027] S3. Determine whether the pause time of the clothing processing device exceeds the preset time. If the pause time does not exceed the preset time, continue to pause and wait until adding clothes is performed; if the pause time exceeds the preset time, end the pause and wait, and continue to execute the current clothing processing program before the pause until the program ends.
[0028] In this embodiment, the user can select one or more time periods for adding clothes from the preset selectable time periods for adding clothes. At the start time of the selected time period, the server will actively send a pause instruction to the washing machine. During the clothing processing process, it is determined in turn whether the selected time period for adding clothes has been reached. If the selected time period for adding clothes has been reached, the current processing program of the clothing processing device is paused, and then it is determined whether the pause time of the clothing processing device exceeds the preset time. For example, the preset time can be set to 15 minutes. If the waiting time is within 15 minutes, the waiting time continues until the clothes adding operation is performed. If the waiting time exceeds 15 minutes, the waiting time ends and the current clothing processing program described before the pause continues to be executed until the current clothing processing program ends. Then it is determined whether the next selected time period for adding clothes has been reached until all selected time periods for adding clothes have been determined.
[0029] Based on the above steps S1 to S3, using this method allows the user to know the time period for adding clothes in advance, that is, the user can accurately know the time for adding clothes. When the time for adding clothes is reached, the system will automatically pause and wait, without wasting too much time waiting, thus saving the user's time.
[0030] In one embodiment, the method further includes: when performing a clothes-adding operation, calculating a duration from when the clothes-treating device is paused to when performing the clothes-adding operation; and adjusting the preset selectable clothes-adding time period based on the duration.
[0031] In an embodiment, since the time length for waiting for the user to add clothes is uncertain, after selecting multiple preset selectable time periods for adding clothes, the subsequent preset selectable time periods for adding clothes will be inaccurate. Therefore, it is necessary to record the time length from the pause of the clothing processing equipment to the user's adding clothes operation, and preset the selectable time period for adding clothes after the delay according to the time length, so that the user knows the exact time to add clothes.
[0032] In one embodiment, the method includes obtaining a preset selectable time period for adding clothes based on at least the following steps: setting a condition for adding clothes based on parameter information of the clothing processing equipment during the clothing processing process; and obtaining a selectable time period for adding clothes based on the condition for adding clothes.
[0033] In this embodiment, the clothes processing device can be turned on to add clothes only based on the condition that clothes can be added, otherwise the clothes processing device cannot be turned on.
[0034] In one embodiment, the clothing processing device is a washing machine, and the parameter information of the clothing processing device includes at least one of the inner drum temperature of the washing machine, the water level in the washing machine, and the rotation speed of the washing machine. The setting of the conditions for adding clothes includes: setting the inner drum temperature of the washing machine to be lower than a preset temperature, and / or the water level in the washing machine to be lower than a preset water level; and / or the current rotation speed of the washing machine is lower than a preset rotation speed as a condition for adding clothes.
[0035] In this embodiment, for example, the preset temperature can be set to 65°C, the preset water level can be set to 8 liters, and the preset speed can be set to 500 rpm. When the inner drum temperature of the washing machine is lower than 65°C, and / or the current water level in the washing machine is lower than 8 liters, and / or the current speed of the washing machine is less than 500 rpm, it means that the conditions for adding clothes are met.
[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the horizontal axis represents the washing time (in minutes), and the vertical axis can represent the values of temperature, water level, and speed. The three curves based on the horizontal axis and vertical axis are respectively the curve of the change of the washing machine drum temperature over time during the clothing processing process, the curve of the change of the washing machine water level over time, and the curve of the change of the washing machine speed over time. In actual use, select Figure 2 The same time period corresponding to the situation where the temperature of the inner drum of the washing machine, the water level in the washing machine, and the speed of the washing machine all meet their respective corresponding preset conditions is the time period in which clothes can be added. For example, in one embodiment, Figure 2 In the time periods corresponding to the values of 0 to 4 and 12 to 14 on the horizontal axis, the temperature in the washing machine drum, the water level in the washing machine and the speed of the washing machine all meet their respective corresponding preset conditions. Therefore, the time intervals of 0 to 4 and 12 to 14 for washing time periods represent the time periods in which clothes can be added when the above conditions are met at the same time.
[0037] In one embodiment, determining whether the pause time of the clothing processing device exceeds a preset time further includes: pushing a reminder to the user to add clothes.
[0038] In this embodiment, a reminder that the time period for adding clothes has arrived can be pushed to the control panel or APP terminal of the washing machine. The reminder method includes voice and text, and the user can choose the reminder method according to actual needs.
[0039] Furthermore, in addition to pushing the time period for adding clothes to the user, the type of clothes suitable for adding clothes in this time period (such as the degree of dirtiness of the clothes) and / or the suitable processing procedures (such as clothes that need to be dehydrated, clothes that need to be dried) can also be displayed to the user, so that the user can choose the appropriate time period for adding clothes according to the different washing effects of different preset time periods for adding clothes. Figure 3 As shown, the preset selectable time period for adding clothes can be set to 4, for example, between 3:15-3:25, the weighing program or the water filling program is used to add clothes, which is suitable for dirty clothes, between 3:25-3:35, the rinsing program is used to enter the rinsing program, which is suitable for clean clothes, between 3:35-3:45, the dehydration program is used to enter the clothes that need to be dehydrated, and between 4:15-4:45, the drying program is used to enter the clothes that need to be dried. The above content is displayed on the control panel or APP of the washing machine to remind the user to select the appropriate time period for adding clothes.
[0040] In one embodiment, after performing the adding clothes operation, the method further includes: adjusting parameters of at least part of the clothes processing program of the clothes processing device according to the type of the current processing program of the clothes processing device before the pause.
[0041] In this embodiment, the user can also adjust some parameters of the clothing processing device according to demand after the washing machine is paused.
[0042] In one embodiment, the current processing program of the laundry processing device before the suspension 的 The type includes at least one of a weighing program, a water inlet program, a rinsing program, a dehydration program, and a drying program, and the parameters include at least one of a washing time, a number of rinsing times, a dehydration time, and a drying time;
[0043] The adjusting of parameters of at least part of the clothing processing program of the clothing processing device according to the type of the current processing program of the clothing processing device before the pause includes: when the type of the current processing program of the clothing processing device before the pause is a weighing program or a water inlet program, adjusting the washing time and the number of rinsing times; when the type of the current processing program of the clothing processing device before the pause is a rinsing program, adjusting the number of rinsing times and the dehydration time; when the type of the current processing program of the clothing processing device before the pause is a dehydration program, adjusting the dehydration time; when the type of the current processing program of the clothing processing device before the pause is a drying program, adjusting the drying time.
[0044] In this embodiment, by adjusting the parameters of different processing programs, for example, if the number of rinses in the current setting program before the pause is two, then after the pause, the number of rinses can be modified to one or three times according to user needs. At this time, the preset optional time period for adding clothes before the pause will be inaccurate. Therefore, according to the length of a single rinse and the increase or decrease in the number of rinses, the preset optional time period for adding clothes can be delayed or advanced, and the preset optional time period for adding clothes can be updated on the control panel of the washing machine or the APP terminal. While updating the preset optional time period for adding clothes, the washing effect corresponding to the time period for adding clothes and / or the type of clothes suitable for processing can also be displayed to the user.
[0045] In one embodiment, pausing the current processing procedure of the clothing processing device includes: the clothing processing device performs a pause operation based on a pause instruction, wherein the pause instruction is automatically generated by the clothing processing device based on a judgment result, or the server generates a pause instruction based on the judgment result and forwards it to the clothing processing device.
[0046] It should be pointed out that although the various steps in the above embodiments are described in a specific order, those skilled in the art can understand that in order to achieve the effects of the present invention, different steps do not have to be performed in such an order. They can be performed simultaneously (in parallel) or in other orders. These changes are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0047] It is understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention implements all or part of the processes in the method of the above embodiment, and can also be completed by instructing the relevant hardware through a computer program, and the computer program can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium, and the computer program can implement the steps of the above-mentioned various method embodiments when executed by the processor. Among them, the computer program includes computer program code, and the computer program code can be in source code form, object code form, executable file or some intermediate form. The computer-readable storage medium may include: any entity or device, medium, U disk, mobile hard disk, disk, optical disk, computer memory, read-only memory, random access memory, electric carrier signal, telecommunication signal and software distribution medium that can carry the computer program code.
