[0002] With the development of clothing processing equipment, some existing solutions have adopted the method of cleaning clothes through cleaning foam, that is, only cleaning foam is injected into the clothing processing chamber of the clothing processing equipment, and the mechanical force generated by the rupture of the cleaning foam has a cleaning effect on the clothes, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning the clothes. This method no longer requires a large amount of liquid water, which greatly saves water resources.

[0003] During the cleaning process, different loads of clothes require different amounts of foam. However, when the load is large, due to the stacking of the load and other reasons, the water absorption of the load becomes stronger. If the foam is added according to the amount of foam corresponding to the unit load when the load is small, it may lead to insufficient foam, resulting in poor cleaning effect. In addition, when the load is large, due to the stacking of clothes, it will be more difficult for the foam to enter the stacked clothes, and then the amount of foam added according to the amount of foam corresponding to the unit load when the load is small cannot effectively soak the clothes, resulting in poor cleaning effect.

[0031] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present disclosure, the scheme of the present disclosure will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0032] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present disclosure, but the present disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; it is obvious that the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0033] The following is an exemplary description of a control method for a clothes processing device and a clothes processing device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a control method for a clothes processing device provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure includes:

[0035] S101, executing a foam cleaning program, wherein the foam cleaning program includes at least two cleaning modes; each cleaning mode includes a foam delivery operation of delivering foam into a laundry processing chamber;

[0036] Among them, at least two cleaning modes correspond to different foam delivery coefficients; the foam delivery coefficient is the foam delivery amount corresponding to each unit load in the cleaning mode.

[0037] Exemplarily, a clothing treatment device is a functional device that can treat clothing, and clothing treatment can be one or more of cleaning, drying, or even softening of clothing. In the present embodiment, a functional device that can achieve the purpose of cleaning clothing through foam is taken as an example. The foam cleaning program can be a program for achieving a cleaning effect on clothing; the operation to be performed or controlled by the foam cleaning program can include mixing and breaking up water and a cleaning stock solution to produce a large amount of foam, and then injecting the foam into the clothing treatment chamber, the foam is mixed with the clothing in the clothing treatment chamber or attached to the surface of the clothing, and the mechanical force generated by the foam rupture has a cleaning effect on the stains on the surface of the clothing. After the clothing is cleaned, the foam and the stains are evaporated, thereby finally achieving the purpose of cleaning the clothing. Among them, the foam in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be a foam that can produce a cleaning effect on clothing, and the foam is produced by mixing a cleaning stock solution with water and breaking it up through a clothing treatment device. The amount of foam put in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be the amount of foam put into the clothing treatment chamber for cleaning clothing, and the quantification method of the amount can be the volume or weight of the foam or the length of time of putting it. The load amount may be the load of the clothes in the clothes processing chamber, and the load amount may be quantified in the weight of the clothes, the type of clothes, the number of clothes (i.e., the number of clothes), etc., which is not limited here. The foam delivery coefficient may refer to the foam delivery amount corresponding to the unit load. For example, the load amount is quantified in the weight of clothes and the foam delivery amount is quantified in the weight of foam. For example, in the existing related technology, the foam delivery amount of 300 grams of clothes is 300 grams, and the foam delivery amount of 600 grams of clothes is 600 grams. Although the foam delivery amount is different, the foam delivery amount under the unit load is the same, that is, the foam delivery amount corresponding to the unit load weight (1 gram of clothes) is 1 gram, that is, the foam delivery coefficient is the same, and the foam delivery coefficient is 1.

[0038] In some scenarios, if the same foam injection coefficient is set when cleaning clothes of different loads, for example, the foam injection amount corresponding to cleaning 300 grams of clothes is 300 grams, and the foam injection amount corresponding to cleaning 600 grams of clothes is 600 grams, that is, the foam injection coefficient is 1, which may lead to poor cleaning effect. This is because the more clothes there are or the heavier the clothes are, when the load is too large, the clothes may be piled up, wrapped, entangled, etc., making it difficult for the foam to contact the surface of the clothes to wet and clean the clothes when the amount of foam is small, resulting in poor cleaning effect.

[0039] Based on the above problems, the foam cleaning program in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include multiple cleaning modes, each of which includes a foam delivery operation of delivering foam to the clothing processing chamber; wherein, at least some of the cleaning modes correspond to different loads and different foam delivery coefficients. That is, based on the above scheme, the embodiment of the present disclosure can determine different cleaning modes based on actual needs, and the foam delivery coefficients corresponding to some cleaning modes are different. For example, the first cleaning mode is applied to clean 300 grams of clothing, and the corresponding foam delivery amount can be 300 grams, that is, the foam delivery coefficient is 1. The second cleaning mode is applied to clean 600 grams of clothing, and the corresponding foam delivery amount can be 840 grams, that is, the foam delivery coefficient is 1.4. The embodiment of the present disclosure sets a larger foam delivery coefficient when cleaning a larger load, which can avoid the problem that the large load of clothing is stacked, wrapped, entangled, etc., and the foam cannot effectively penetrate into the surface of the clothing, and cannot be fully wetted and cleaned due to the small amount of foam. That is, the embodiment of the present disclosure can adopt cleaning modes with different foam delivery coefficients for clothing with different loads based on actual needs, ensuring a better cleaning effect.

[0040] In some embodiments, performing a foam cleaning procedure includes:

[0041] Determine the cleaning mode and determine the foam delivery factor based on the cleaning mode.

[0042] Exemplarily, the operator can select a cleaning mode according to actual needs, and the name of the cleaning mode can be a prompt or guide, for example, the name of the cleaning mode can be a shirt mode, a coat mode, a down jacket mode, etc., and each cleaning mode can correspond to a set foam injection coefficient; a corresponding button can be set on the body of the clothing processing device, and the operator can generate a specific electrical signal after pressing the corresponding button. The controller of the clothing processing device can determine the cleaning mode selected by the operator based on the electrical signal, and then determine the foam injection coefficient based on the cleaning mode. The disclosed embodiment can correspond different foam injection coefficients based on different cleaning modes, so that different foam injection coefficients can adapt to different usage scenarios, so that clothes with different loads use cleaning modes with different foam injection coefficients, ensuring a better cleaning effect.

[0043] In some embodiments, determining the cleaning mode includes:

[0044] Get the cleaning mode selection instruction;

[0045] Determine the cleaning mode corresponding to the cleaning mode selection instruction.

[0046] Exemplarily, the cleaning mode selection instruction may be an operation instruction issued by an operator, and the instruction may be implemented in a variety of ways. For example, an operation button or knob may be provided on the body of the clothing processing device. When the operator presses a button or rotates the knob to a certain position, an electrical signal may be issued, and the electrical signal represents a cleaning mode selection instruction. When the controller of the clothing processing device receives the electrical signal, it means that the cleaning mode selection instruction has been obtained; and different cleaning mode selection instructions may correspond to different cleaning modes. In some other embodiments, the operator may also select the cleaning mode by voice, that is, the clothing processing device may be provided with a voice receiving and recognition component, and the voice receiving and recognition component may perform sound wave recognition on the voice issued by the operator, and a specific sound wave signal corresponds to a specific cleaning mode; for example, the operator may issue a sound of "selecting shirt mode", and the sound may be received and recognized by the voice receiving and recognition component, generating a specific sound wave signal, and the specific sound wave signal may be the cleaning mode selection instruction. The clothing processing device may determine that the cleaning mode that the operator needs to select is the shirt mode based on the specific sound wave signal. That is, through the above method, the clothes processing device can be accurately adjusted to the corresponding cleaning mode based on different cleaning mode selection instructions issued by the operator.

[0047] In some embodiments, determining the cleaning mode includes:

[0048] The cleaning mode is determined according to the load information in the laundry processing chamber.

[0049] Exemplarily, the clothing treatment device can also determine the cleaning mode according to the load information in the clothing treatment chamber; wherein the load information refers to the load amount of the clothing treatment chamber, more specifically, it can be the weight of the clothing in the clothing treatment chamber. Taking the load information as the weight of the clothing as an example, in some scenarios, it can be considered that the greater the weight of the clothing, the more foam delivery is required. Based on this, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the clothing treatment chamber of the clothing treatment device can be provided with a gravity detection component, which is used to detect the weight of the clothing in the clothing treatment chamber; matching therewith, clothing of different weights can correspond to different cleaning modes, and each cleaning mode corresponds to a different foam delivery coefficient. In some possible implementation scenarios, the operator puts the clothing into the clothing treatment chamber of the clothing treatment device, and the gravity detection component of the clothing treatment device can automatically detect the weight of the clothing in the clothing treatment chamber, and automatically match the corresponding cleaning mode after determining the weight of the clothing, and match the corresponding foam delivery coefficient for it. The clothing treatment device can automatically determine the cleaning mode based on the load information in the clothing treatment chamber, avoid foam waste under the premise of achieving the cleaning effect, and also reduce the manual operation process.

[0050] In other possible implementation scenarios, the functional device for detecting load information may not be configured in the clothing processing device. Based on the above problem, the present disclosure can also determine the load information in real time in another way. For example, after the operator puts the clothes into the clothing processing chamber of the clothing processing device, the load information can be selected manually. For example, the operator can enter the load information through buttons and knobs set on the body of the clothing processing device, or through external control devices, such as mobile phone APPs, etc. A plurality of buttons about the weight of the clothes can be set on the body of the clothing processing device, such as 300 grams, 600 grams, etc. After the operator enters different load information, the clothing processing device can determine the corresponding cleaning mode based on the load information entered by the operator. For another example, a plurality of buttons about the number of clothes can also be set on the body of the clothing processing device, such as one, two, three, etc. After the operator selects the corresponding load information (i.e., the number of clothes), the clothing processing device can determine the cleaning mode based on the load information entered by the operator, match the corresponding foam delivery coefficient, and determine the corresponding foam delivery amount to clean the clothes. Based on the above scheme, the cleaning mode can be determined by manually inputting the load information, thereby no longer setting a sensor for determining the load information, reducing costs. In addition, the operator can accurately select the load information, which can avoid detection errors compared to the method of determining the load information through functional devices such as sensors. Since the load information can be freely determined by the operator, it can actually be considered that the cleaning mode, foam delivery coefficient, and foam delivery amount can be determined by the operator, which can better meet the operator's usage needs.

[0051] In some embodiments, determining the cleaning mode according to the load information in the laundry processing chamber includes:

[0052] The cleaning mode is determined according to at least one of the load weight, load quantity, and load type in the laundry processing chamber.

[0053] Exemplarily, the load information may also be at least one of load weight, load quantity, and load type; wherein the load weight may be the weight of the clothes in the clothes processing chamber, the load quantity may be the number of clothes in the clothes processing chamber (e.g., the number of clothes), and the load type may be the type of clothes in the clothes processing chamber. The load types may be classified according to a variety of different criteria, such as classification based on the material of the clothes, such as cotton, nylon, etc.; classification based on the applicable season of the clothes, such as summer clothes, winter clothes, spring and autumn clothes, etc.; classification may also be based solely on the type of clothes, such as shirts, down jackets, short sleeves, coats, etc.

[0054] If the cleaning mode is determined based on the load weight, in some scenarios it can be considered that the heavier the weight of the clothes, the more foam is needed, so different cleaning modes can be set based on different load weights, each cleaning mode corresponds to a different foam amount, and the heavier the load weight, the more foam is needed in the corresponding cleaning mode. If the cleaning mode is determined based on the load quantity, in some scenarios it can be considered that the heavier the number of clothes, the more foam is needed, so different cleaning modes can be set based on different load quantities, each cleaning mode corresponds to a different foam amount, and the heavier the load, the more foam is needed in the corresponding cleaning mode. If the cleaning mode is determined according to the load type, then in some scenarios it can be considered that the thicker the clothes, the more foam is needed. Therefore, different cleaning modes can be set based on different load types, and each cleaning mode corresponds to a different foam amount. Taking the load types divided into underwear, inner wear, outerwear, and down jackets as an example, the thickness of the clothes can be considered to be gradually thicker, and the cleaning mode corresponding to the underwear has the least foam amount, followed by the cleaning mode corresponding to the inner wear, and the cleaning mode corresponding to the outerwear has more foam than the cleaning mode corresponding to the inner wear, and the cleaning mode corresponding to the down jacket has the most foam. That is, based on the above scheme, the embodiment of the present disclosure can accurately match different cleaning modes based on different load information, that is, it actually accurately matches different foam amounts based on different load information, and avoids waste of foam while ensuring that the cleaning effect can be achieved.

[0055] In some embodiments, different cleaning modes that are less than the first load threshold have the same foam delivery coefficients.

[0056] Exemplarily, the first load threshold may be a threshold value corresponding to the load. Taking the load of clothing as an example, the first load threshold may be 300 grams. When the load of clothing is less than the first load threshold, it can be considered that the clothing will not be excessively stacked, wrapped, entangled, etc., and the foam will not be difficult to contact with the surface of clothing to wet and clean the clothing, thereby resulting in poor cleaning effect. Therefore, when the load of clothing is less than the first load threshold, the foam delivery coefficients corresponding to different cleaning modes may be the same. Applied to the above embodiment, when the load of clothing is less than 300 grams, the foam delivery coefficients corresponding to different cleaning modes are the same. More specifically, for example, the foam delivery coefficients corresponding to cleaning 100 grams, 200 grams and 300 grams of clothing are the same, when cleaning 100 grams of clothing, the foam delivery amount may be 100 grams, when cleaning 200 grams of clothing, the foam delivery amount may be 200 grams, and when cleaning 300 grams of clothing, the foam delivery amount may be 300 grams, that is, when the load of clothing is less than 300 grams, the foam delivery coefficients of different cleaning modes are all 1 and remain unchanged. It should be noted that in the above embodiment, the first load threshold is set to 300 grams for exemplary purposes only, and the purpose is only to better illustrate the embodiments of the present disclosure. It does not constitute a limitation on the specific numerical value of the first load threshold. Those skilled in the art can determine the specific value of the first load threshold based on actual needs or actual experimental results. However, even if the first load threshold changes, it should fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure. The same applies to the second load threshold in the following embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0057] Based on the above scheme, the embodiment of the present disclosure can keep the foam delivery coefficient unchanged when the clothing load is small, that is, reduce the use of foam and avoid waste of foam while achieving a better cleaning effect.

[0058] In some embodiments, the foam delivery coefficient of the cleaning mode that is greater than or equal to the first load threshold and less than or equal to the second load threshold increases with the increase of the load.

[0059] Exemplarily, the second load threshold may also be a threshold value corresponding to the load. Taking the load of clothing as quantified by the weight of clothing as an example, the second load threshold may be 1000 grams, and the actual value corresponding to the second load threshold is greater than the actual value corresponding to the first load threshold. When the load of clothing in the clothing processing chamber exceeds the first load threshold, it can be considered that the clothing will produce more stacking, wrapping, entanglement, etc., which makes it difficult for the foam to contact the surface of the clothing to wet and clean the clothing, thereby resulting in poor cleaning effect. When the load of clothing is between the first load threshold and the second load threshold, the foam delivery coefficient may increase with the increase of the load. Applied to the above embodiment, when the load of clothing is between 300 grams and 1000 grams, different cleaning modes correspond to different foam delivery coefficients, and the foam delivery coefficient gradually increases with the increase of the load. In some possible scenarios, the foam delivery coefficient may increase linearly with the increase of the load. For example, when the load is between the first load threshold and the second load threshold, the foam delivery coefficient may change dynamically with the increase of the load. If a relationship curve between the foam delivery coefficient and the load is formed, and the independent variable is the load and the dependent variable is the foam delivery coefficient, the curve may be continuous. More specifically, for example, the foam delivery coefficients corresponding to cleaning 400 grams, 500 grams and 600 grams of clothes are different. When cleaning 400 grams of clothes, the foam delivery amount may be 440 grams, when cleaning 500 grams of clothes, the foam delivery amount may be 600 grams, and when cleaning 600 grams of clothes, the foam delivery amount may be 840 grams, that is, when cleaning 400 grams of clothes, the foam delivery coefficient of the corresponding cleaning mode is 1.1, when cleaning 500 grams of clothes, the foam delivery coefficient of the corresponding cleaning mode is 1.2, and when cleaning 600 grams of clothes, the foam delivery coefficient of the corresponding cleaning mode is 1.4. As the load of clothes increases, the foam delivery coefficient gradually increases.

[0060] Based on the above scheme, the embodiment of the present disclosure can increase the foam delivery coefficient as the load increases when the clothing load is large, and deliver more foam to the unit load of clothing. Compared with the scheme of delivering less foam, more foam can be fully immersed in the inner wall of the clothing, contact the surface of the stacked parts of the clothing and fully soak the clothing. Therefore, even when the clothing load is large, the clothing can still have a better cleaning effect, avoiding poor cleaning effect caused by the stacking, wrapping and entanglement of clothing.

[0061] In some embodiments, the foam delivery factor of the cleaning mode greater than the second load threshold decreases as the load increases.

[0062] For example, in some scenarios, the load capacity of the clothing treatment device is limited. When the total weight of the load in the clothing treatment chamber of the clothing treatment device exceeds the load capacity of the clothing treatment device, the clothing treatment device may be damaged. In the process of cleaning clothes, not only clothes need to be put into the clothing treatment chamber of the clothing treatment device, but also foam needs to be put in to clean the clothes, and the foam itself also has a certain weight. Therefore, when the load of clothes is greater than the second load threshold, the amount of foam put in can be limited to prevent the load of clothes from being too much and the load of foam put in from exceeding the load capacity of the clothing treatment device. For example, when the load of clothes is greater than the second load threshold, the foam putting coefficient of different cleaning modes can decrease as the load increases. For example, when the load of clothes is 1000 grams, the foam delivery coefficient of the corresponding cleaning mode is 1.6, that is, 1600 grams of foam is put in. When the load of clothes is 1200 grams, the foam delivery coefficient of the corresponding cleaning mode is about 1.16, that is, about 1400 grams of foam is put in. When the load of clothes is 1400 grams, the foam delivery coefficient of the corresponding cleaning mode is about 0.85, that is, about 1200 grams of foam is put in. That is, the foam delivery coefficients corresponding to different cleaning modes can decrease with the increase of load.

[0063] Based on the above scheme, the foam delivery coefficient can be reduced when the load of clothes is too large, that is, the amount of foam delivered is actually reduced. On the premise of providing a certain cleaning effect, based on safety considerations, it is avoided that the load is too high and the carrying capacity of the clothes processing equipment is exceeded, thereby causing damage to the clothes processing equipment.

[0064] In some embodiments, there are at least a portion of cleaning modes in the foam cleaning program that correspond to the same load amount and different foam delivery coefficients;

[0065] Among them, under the same load amount, the cleaning mode with greater load water absorption has a greater foam delivery coefficient.

[0066] Exemplarily, load water absorption may refer to the water absorption capacity of clothing. Taking jackets and down jackets as examples, down jackets have a lower density than jackets, are more expandable in volume, and have stronger water absorption. Still taking weight as an example to quantify the load, when the clothing processing equipment cleans jackets and down jackets of the same weight, due to the strong water absorption of down jackets, more foam may be required to clean them, so the foam delivery coefficients required to clean jackets and down jackets are not the same. For jackets and down jackets with the same load, the foam delivery coefficient required for down jackets is greater than that required for jackets. The disclosed embodiment can determine different cleaning modes according to different load water absorptions under the same load, that is, a cleaning mode with a larger foam delivery coefficient can be determined for clothing when the water absorption of clothing is strong, so that the clothing can achieve a better cleaning effect.

[0067] In some embodiments, the foam delivery coefficient in the cleaning mode is less than or equal to an upper limit value of the foam delivery coefficient.

[0068] Exemplarily, the upper limit of the foam injection coefficient may be the upper limit of the proportional relationship between the foam injection amount and the load amount; for example, the foam injection amount corresponding to cleaning 300 grams of clothing may be 300 grams, the foam injection amount corresponding to cleaning 600 grams of clothing may be 840 grams, the foam injection amount corresponding to cleaning 800 grams of clothing may be 1280 grams, and the foam injection amount corresponding to cleaning 900 grams of clothing may be 1440 grams. That is, the foam injection coefficient is 1 when cleaning 300 grams of clothing, 1.4 when cleaning 600 grams of clothing, 1.6 when cleaning 800 grams of clothing, and 1.6 when cleaning 900 grams of clothing, that is, the upper limit of the foam injection coefficient is 1.6.

[0069] If the foam delivery coefficient increases indefinitely with the increase of the load, it may cause the clothing processing equipment to seriously exceed the load limit. Therefore, through the above-mentioned scheme, the embodiment of the present disclosure can no longer increase the foam delivery coefficient after the foam delivery coefficient reaches the upper limit of the foam delivery per unit load, that is, even if the load increases, the foam delivery coefficient will no longer increase. When adopting the above-mentioned scheme, since the foam delivery coefficient has been increased within a certain limit according to the increase of the load, a certain cleaning effect can be guaranteed. On the other hand, since the foam delivery coefficient no longer increases, the growth rate of the foam delivery amount can be alleviated to a certain extent, thereby alleviating the problem of serious overweight of the clothing processing equipment.
