[0002] In daily life, users often encounter towels, cotton or silk clothing that become harder and harder as they are washed more and more times. This is mainly because clothing comes into contact with the sweat glands on the skin, and impurities such as grease, protein, dandruff, inorganic salts, and dirt are not easily soluble in water. If you simply wash with water, it is difficult to clean these impurities, and the impurities will accumulate in the clothing fibers.

[0003] Detergents and impurities in tap water and clothing impurities undergo saponification reactions, which easily combine with calcium and magnesium ions to form calcium stearate and magnesium stearate, which penetrate into the fibers along with the grease, making the fibers of clothing hard and rough. Therefore, after a long period of improper washing, the grease and impurities between the fibers accumulate more and more, and the clothing loses its original softness and feels harder and harder.

[0044] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0045] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0046] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequential order. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described here. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0047] For the convenience of description, some nouns or terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are explained below:

[0048] An image recognition device is a device that can recognize and analyze the content of an image, usually based on artificial intelligence technologies such as deep learning and neural network algorithms. This device can be used to identify objects, text, scenes and other information in an image, thereby helping people achieve the purpose of automatic recognition and classification. Image recognition devices are used in many fields, such as security monitoring, medical image analysis, autonomous driving, smartphone cameras, etc.

[0049] Hot air pre-drying: During the washing process, use hot air for pre-drying to make the clothes easier to absorb detergent and moisture.

[0050] Soft water rinsing: Use soft water for rinsing. Soft water has a lower mineral content, which can better clean clothes while reducing water stains and residues on the surface of clothes.

[0051] Soft water washing: Use soft water for washing during the washing process. Soft water has better washing effect, can reduce the amount of detergent used, and extend the service life of clothes.

[0052] Hard water rinsing: Using hard water for rinsing, the high mineral content in hard water may cause water stains and residues on the surface of clothes, requiring additional detergent to clean the clothes.

[0053] As introduced in the background technology, detergents and impurities in tap water, clothing impurities, etc. undergo saponification reactions, which can easily combine with calcium and magnesium ions to form calcium stearate and magnesium stearate, which penetrate into the fibers along with the grease, making the fibers of the clothing hard and rough. Therefore, after a long period of improper washing of clothing, the grease and impurities between the fibers accumulate more and more, the clothing loses its original softness and feels harder and harder. In order to solve the problem that the existing solutions can only identify clothing based on a single material to perform the corresponding washing work, but cannot cope with the washing of clothing of multiple materials, resulting in low washing efficiency, the embodiments of the present application provide a washing method, a washing device, a computer-readable storage medium, and a washing system.

[0054] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0055] In this embodiment, a washing method is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0056] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a washing method according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0057] Step S101, an acquisition step: acquiring materials of the clothes to be washed including a plurality of materials, obtaining a plurality of current clothes materials, and acquiring the dynamic friction coefficient of the clothes to be washed;

[0058] Step S102, a determination step: determining a current softness according to the multiple current clothing materials and the dynamic friction coefficient, wherein the current softness represents the comprehensive softness of all the clothing to be washed;

[0059] Specifically, a softness mapping relationship is obtained, where the softness mapping relationship is a mapping relationship between a dynamic friction coefficient, a clothing material, and softness;

[0060] Determine the target dynamic friction coefficient as the average value of all the above dynamic friction coefficients;

[0061] Determine a plurality of mapping softnesses according to the softness mapping relationship, the target dynamic friction coefficient and the various current clothing materials, wherein the mapping softnesses correspond one to one to the current clothing materials;

[0062] The current softness is determined to be a maximum value among all the mapped softnesses, or an average value of all the mapped softnesses.

[0063] By setting the mapping relationship between the dynamic friction coefficient, the clothing material, and the softness, it is convenient to subsequently determine the mapped softness as the softness corresponding to the target dynamic friction coefficient and the current clothing material in the mapping relationship according to the target dynamic friction coefficient and the current clothing material. When the current softness is finally determined to be the maximum value of all the mapped softnesses, it is only necessary to obtain the softness level of the current softness, determine the washing method adapted to the softness level of the current softness, and wash the clothing to be washed using the washing method.

[0064] Step S103, processing step: obtaining the softness level of the current softness, and determining a washing method suitable for the softness level of the current softness, and washing the clothes to be washed using the washing method.

[0065] In the above steps, by acquiring the materials of the clothes to be washed including multiple materials, multiple current clothes materials are obtained, and the dynamic friction coefficients of the clothes to be washed are obtained, and the current softness is determined according to the multiple current clothes materials and the dynamic friction coefficients, so as to obtain the comprehensive softness of the clothes to be washed, and finally the softness level of the current softness is obtained, and the washing method adapted to the softness level of the current softness is determined, and the clothes to be washed are washed by the washing method, thereby achieving the purpose of washing the clothes to be washed by using corresponding washing methods according to different softness, improving the washing efficiency, and further solving the problem that the existing scheme can only identify clothes according to a single material to perform corresponding washing work, which will cause excessive hardening of clothes with softer materials.

[0066] Compared with existing solutions, it will not cause clothes with softer materials to harden excessively, and weaken the degree of hardening.

[0067] Determining the washing method suitable for the softness level of the current softness in step S103 includes:

[0068] When the softness level of the current softness is the first softness level, performing a first washing mode, wherein the first washing mode is to wash all the clothes to be washed by hard water rinsing;

[0069] When the softness level of the current softness is the second softness level, performing a second washing method, wherein the second washing method sequentially adopts the hard water rinsing method and the soft water boiling washing method to wash all the clothes to be washed;

[0070] When the softness level of the current softness is the third softness level, the third washing method is performed, wherein the third washing method is to sequentially use hot air pre-drying, soft water rinsing and soft water boiling to wash all the clothes to be washed.

[0071] Specifically, different softness levels are set according to different softness levels, so that when the softness level of the current softness is the first softness level, it is determined that the washing work can be completed by washing all the above-mentioned clothes to be washed by hard water rinsing; when the softness level of the current softness is the second softness level, it is determined that the washing work can be completed by washing all the above-mentioned clothes to be washed by hot air pre-drying, soft water rinsing and soft water boiling in sequence; when the softness level of the current softness is the third softness level, it is determined that the washing work can be completed by washing all the above-mentioned clothes to be washed by hot air pre-drying, soft water rinsing and soft water boiling in sequence.

[0072] The purpose of washing by adopting different washing methods according to different softness is achieved.

[0073] In addition, the target dynamic friction coefficient can be used as the first reference softness, and the preset softness corresponding to the current clothing material can be used as the second reference softness. By comparing the two reference softnesses, it is determined whether to use the first washing method, the second washing method, or the third washing method.

[0074] In one embodiment of the present application, after determining that the current softness is the average value of all the mapped softnesses and washing the laundry in the washing manner, the method further includes:

[0075] Determine the final fabric type based on the above current softness;

[0076] Washing of the laundry to be washed is stopped, and a prompt message is generated to prompt that the laundry to be washed of the final fabric type and the softness of the laundry to be washed higher than the softness of the final fabric type needs to be taken out.

[0077] Specifically, through image recognition technology, different fabrics are prompted to take out the fabrics to ensure that the clothes to be washed are of the same material;

[0078] If it is determined that the current softness is the average value of all the mapped softnesses, and after the laundry is washed using the washing method, it is necessary to stop washing the laundry, and it is also necessary to take out the final fabric type and the laundry with a softness higher than the final fabric type. For example, the fabric types include silk, shirt, towel, and denim, and the final fabric type is a shirt. Then, it is necessary to take out the laundry with fabric types of silk and shirt. The relationship between fabric types and normal softness range is shown in Table 1.

[0079] Table 1

[0080] Fabric Type Normal softness range silk N1-N3 shirt N3-N5 towel N5-N7 cowboy N7-N8

[0081] Existing washing machine structure is as follows Figure 2 shown.

[0082] In one embodiment of the present application, after generating the above prompt information, the above method further includes:

[0083] Receiving and responding to the instruction that the clothes have been taken out, the above-mentioned obtaining step, the above-mentioned determining step and the above-mentioned processing step are re-executed.

[0084] Specifically, for example, when the user takes out the laundry with fabric types of silk and shirts, the above-mentioned obtaining step, the above-mentioned determining step and the above-mentioned processing step need to be performed again until all the laundry in the washing machine is taken out.

[0085] In one embodiment of the present application, during the execution of the third washing method, the method further includes:

[0086] All of the above-mentioned laundry are rinsed with soft water at least once.

[0087] Specifically, the soft water rinse should not be performed more than three times to avoid damaging the laundry.

[0088] In one embodiment of the present application, obtaining the dynamic friction coefficient of the laundry to be washed includes:

[0089] Obtaining the friction force collected when the friction sensor contacts the laundry to be washed of different materials, to obtain a plurality of current friction forces;

[0090] Each of the above current friction forces is converted to obtain a plurality of the above dynamic friction coefficients.

[0091] Specifically, the washing machine is controlled to start rolling the laundry to be washed, and during this process, the friction force is collected multiple times, and each of the above current friction forces is converted to obtain multiple dynamic friction coefficients;

[0092] For example, if there are three pieces of clothing to be washed, the washing machine is started and shut down three times, each time for 1 minute. The average value of the dynamic friction coefficient obtained each minute is used as the target dynamic friction coefficient for that minute. According to this approach, three target dynamic friction coefficients can be obtained.

[0093] The friction formula is F = uN, where u is the dynamic friction coefficient. There are two types of dynamic friction coefficients in the process of obtaining the roughness of the clothing surface. The first is the dynamic friction coefficient of the inner drum wall, which is defined as u1, and the second is the dynamic friction coefficient of the clothing surface, which is defined as u2. Because the inner drum wall and the material are fixed, the value of u1 is fixed. u2 is determined by the roughness of the clothing surface. Under the same weight, the rougher the clothing surface, the greater the friction, and u2 is proportional to F. The value obtained by the friction sensor.

[0094] The motor of the washing machine uses a large acceleration for instantaneous rotation, which means the duration is very short, but the mechanical force is large, and the acceleration usually does not exceed 60m / s 2 At this time, due to the principle of inertia, the clothes tend to remain stationary, so the clothes will move relative to the inner wall of the drum, that is, sliding friction will occur, so the friction sensor in the drum can obtain the roughness of the clothing surface. However, since accidental errors are prone to occur in a single time, the forward and reverse rotation is repeated multiple times to reduce the error and finally take the average value.

[0095] In order to enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the technical solution of the present application, the implementation process of the washing method of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0096] This embodiment relates to a specific washing method, such as Figure 3 As shown, including:

[0097] Using image recognition technology to obtain the materials of the clothes to be washed, including a variety of materials, to obtain a variety of current clothes materials;

[0098] Obtain the normal softness range X1 corresponding to the material of the clothes to be washed through the cloud;

[0099] The softness value X2 of the laundry to be washed is measured by a friction sensor, that is, a target dynamic friction coefficient is used as a first reference softness, and the target dynamic friction coefficient is an average value of all the collected dynamic friction coefficients. For example, the washing machine is allowed to rotate the laundry to be washed, and multiple dynamic friction coefficients are collected during the rotation period;

[0100] In the case of X2>X1, all the clothes to be washed are washed in sequence by hot air pre-drying, soft water rinsing and soft water boiling;

[0101] When X2 is less than X1, all the clothes to be washed are washed by hard water rinsing;

[0102] When X2=X1, all the clothes to be washed are washed sequentially using hard water rinsing and soft water washing.

[0103] It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowcharts of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and that, although a logical order is shown in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.
