Description

Technical Field

[0002] A washing machine is an indispensable household appliance in family life, providing convenience for daily life.

[0003] At present, there is a risk that pets or children may enter the washing machine without being discovered by the user, which may easily cause safety accidents when the washing program is running. Therefore, how to avoid the above safety accidents is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0004] In addition, when the washing machine is dehydrating, the inner drum rotates continuously at an accelerated speed, and the clothes are pressed against the inner drum wall to form an eccentric mass. The inner drum generates forced vibration under the excitation of the eccentric mass, and the vibration is transmitted to the outer drum through the power input shaft, causing the entire inner and outer drums to generate forced vibrations together, which in turn causes the entire washing machine to vibrate, and even cause barrel collision and displacement. This not only affects the service life of the washing machine parts, but also the noise generated directly reduces the user experience and even endangers people's health. How to reduce the vibration noise during the operation of the washing machine has always been the key to improving the quality and performance of the washing machine, especially with the development of high-speed and large-capacity washing machines, it has become more complicated.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0054] Figure 1 A structure 100 suitable for implementing the control method of a laundry treatment apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is shown. The structure 100 includes a control unit 110 of the laundry treatment apparatus, a sensor system 120, a counter 130 and a timer 140.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the control unit 110 is configured to receive and send control instructions during the laundry processing process, and can also process the data received from the sensor system 120 to determine whether there is an abnormality in the laundry processing device. The sensor system 120 is configured to detect the vibration amount of the laundry processing device, and when the detected vibration amount exceeds the vibration amount threshold, it sends a signal that the vibration detection pulse is triggered, such as a high level, such as Figure 2A It is understandable that when the detected vibration amount does not exceed the vibration amount threshold, the sensor system 120 will not send a signal that the vibration detection pulse is triggered. Figure 2B The counter 130 is configured to count the number of times the vibration detection pulse is triggered and the timing of the spin-drying stage. The timer 140 is configured to count the duration of the high level when the vibration detection pulse is triggered and the timing of each operation stage of the laundry processing device.

[0056] In some implementations, the sensor system 120 includes a vibration detection module 1201 and a signal processing unit 1202 .

[0057] Among them, the vibration detection module 1201 is configured to detect the vibration amount of the clothing processing device; the signal processing unit 1202 is connected to the vibration detection module 1201 to receive the vibration amount, and the signal processing unit 1202 is configured to send a signal that a vibration detection pulse is triggered to the control unit 110 when the vibration amount exceeds the vibration amount threshold.

[0058] In some embodiments, the vibration detection module 1201 includes at least one vibration sensor 12011. When the number of the vibration sensors 12011 is two or more, at least two vibration sensors 12011 can be arranged in parallel according to the requirements of the laundry processing device for detecting vibration sensitivity. Figure 3A As shown, or at least two vibration sensors 12011 are arranged in series, referring to Figure 3B shown.

[0059] As an example, Figure 3A As shown, when at least one of the at least two vibration sensors 12011 senses that the vibration amount of the clothing processing device exceeds the vibration amount threshold, the signal processing unit 1202 can send a signal that the vibration detection pulse is triggered, thereby improving the sensitivity of detecting vibration of the clothing processing device.

[0060] like Figure 3B As shown, when all vibration sensors 12011 among at least two vibration sensors 12011 sense that the vibration amount of the clothing processing device exceeds the vibration amount threshold, the signal processing unit 1202 sends a signal that the vibration detection pulse is triggered, thereby reducing the sensitivity of detecting vibration of the clothing processing device.

[0061] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the sensor system 120 is disposed inside the control panel of the laundry treating device to reduce wiring.

[0062] Specifically, if Figure 5A As shown, the two vibration sensors 12011 in the vibration detection module 1201 can be arranged on the left and right sides of the control panel to detect the vibration amount of the cabinet of the laundry processing device. Figure 5B As shown, the vibration sensor 12011 in the vibration detection module 1201 can be set on the left or right side of the control panel to detect the vibration amount of the clothing processing device box. Figure 5CAs shown, two vibration sensors 12011 in the vibration detection module 1201 can be set on the left and right sides of the control panel, and the third vibration sensor 12011 can be set in the middle of the control panel to detect the vibration amount of the clothing processing device cabinet.

[0063] It should be pointed out here that the setting position of the vibration sensor 12011 can be adaptively adjusted according to the structure inside the control panel of the clothing processing equipment.

[0064] Figure 6 The flow chart of a control method of a clothes processing device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is shown. The clothes processing device may be a washing machine, a washer-dryer, etc.

[0065] like Figure 6 As shown, the execution of the control method 200 of the laundry processing device includes the following steps:

[0066] S210, collecting the pulse width of the vibration detection pulse of the laundry processing device; and

[0067] S220. Determine whether the clothes processing device has an abnormality according to the pulse width of the collected vibration detection pulses, and send a prompt signal when it is determined that the clothes processing device has an abnormality.

[0068] It should be understood that the steps shown in the control method 200 of the clothing processing device are not exclusive, and the control method 200 of the clothing processing device may also include additional steps not shown and / or may omit the steps shown, and the scope of the present invention is not limited in this respect. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other in the absence of conflict. In addition, unless explicitly limited or inconsistent with the context, the specific steps included in the method described in the present invention are not necessarily limited to the order described, but may be executed in any order or in parallel. Refer to the following Figure 1 and Figure 8 Steps S210 to S220 are described in detail.

[0069] S210

[0070] In step S210 , the pulse width of the vibration detection pulse of the laundry treating apparatus is collected by using the sensor system 120 .

[0071] In some implementations, before the step of collecting the pulse width of the vibration detection pulse of the clothes treating apparatus, the control method further includes determining that a door of the clothes treating apparatus is in a locked state.

[0072] It should be noted that when the control unit 110 of the laundry processing device determines that the door is unlocked, it should send a reminder signal to close the door to remind the user to close the door, which is beneficial to the washing program or other programs.

[0073] As an example, the door lock detection can be realized by a micro switch. Specifically, the micro switch can be set on the body of the clothing processing device. When the door is locked, the door will trigger the micro switch on the body, so that the electrical signal generated by the micro switch changes, and then the lock state of the door of the clothing processing device can be determined.

[0074] In some implementations, the step of collecting the pulse width of the vibration detection pulse of the laundry treating apparatus includes collecting the accumulated pulse width of the vibration detection pulse of the laundry treating apparatus.

[0075] Specifically, as can be seen from the aforementioned content of this article, the sensor system 120 can send a signal that a vibration detection pulse is triggered to the control unit 110 of the clothing processing device when it is detected that the vibration amount of the clothing processing device exceeds the vibration amount threshold, such as sending a high-level signal. Based on this, the cumulative pulse width of the vibration detection pulse in the present invention refers to the total duration of all high-level signals before the current moment. For example, the total duration of all high-level signals before the current moment can be timed using the timer 140 to obtain the cumulative pulse width of the vibration detection pulse. Refer to Figure 2A As shown, the accumulated pulse width can be calculated by t1+t2+t3+t4.

[0076] In some other embodiments, the step of collecting the pulse width of the vibration detection pulse of the clothes treating apparatus includes collecting the maximum pulse width of the vibration detection pulse of the clothes treating apparatus.

[0077] Specifically, the maximum pulse width of the vibration detection pulse in the present invention refers to the duration of one or more high-level signals with the longest duration among all high-level signals before the current moment. For example, the timer 140 can be used to count the duration of all high-level signals before the current moment, so as to obtain the duration of the highest high-level signal, i.e., the maximum pulse width of the vibration detection pulse. Figure 2A As shown, the maximum pulse width is t4.

[0078] S220

[0079] After collecting the pulse width of the vibration detection pulse of the laundry processing device in step S210, it is determined whether the laundry processing device has an abnormality according to the collected pulse width of the vibration detection pulse in step S220. When it is determined that there is an abnormality in the laundry processing device, a prompt signal is issued to avoid safety accidents.

[0080] It can be understood that when it is determined that there is no abnormality in the laundry processing apparatus based on the pulse width of the collected vibration detection pulses, the laundry processing apparatus continues to execute the washing program or other laundry processing programs.

[0081] The present invention provides two implementation methods for the step of determining whether the clothing processing device has an abnormality according to the pulse width of the collected vibration detection pulses in step S220. The two implementation methods will be described in detail below.

[0082] Method 1

[0083] In this embodiment, the step of determining whether the clothing processing device has an abnormality according to the pulse width of the collected vibration detection pulse in step S220 includes determining whether a living body exists in the clothing processing device according to the pulse width of the collected vibration detection pulse.

[0084] The living body here can be an object with vital signs and capable of autonomous movement, such as a pet or a child. When a living body enters the clothing processing device, the autonomous movement of the living body will cause the pulse width of the vibration detection pulse of the clothing processing device to change. Based on this, the present invention uses the pulse width of the vibration detection pulse of the clothing processing device to determine whether there is a living body in the clothing processing device, reduce the probability of misjudgment of the living body in the clothing processing device, and improve the safety performance of the clothing processing device.

[0085] When it is determined that there is a living body in the clothing treatment device, in order to avoid the user's failure to handle it in time, resulting in suffocation or other injuries to the pet or child during the waiting process, the clothing treatment device sends a prompt signal after determining that there is a living body inside the clothing treatment device. Optionally, the instructions of the prompt signal include prohibiting the clothing treatment device from running any processing program and / or flicking open the door body, which can prevent the user from prohibiting the clothing treatment device from running any processing program without being informed of the situation in time, thereby ensuring the safety of the pet or child. The door body can also be flicked open to prevent the child from being deprived of oxygen or suffocated in a relatively closed state for a long time, and to facilitate the pet or child who enters the clothing treatment device to leave on their own.

[0086] Optionally, the instructions of the prompt signal also include issuing a voice warning message and / or sending a warning message to a mobile terminal bound to the clothing processing device or a shared display terminal device. When a living body is detected in the clothing processing device, the above actions can serve as a reminder to avoid the occurrence of safety accidents.

[0087] In this embodiment, if Figure 7As shown, the step of determining whether the laundry processing device has an abnormality according to the pulse width of the collected vibration detection pulse in step S220 includes:

[0088] S221, in response to determining that the operation stage of the clothes processing device is a non-spinning stage, calling a pulse width threshold of the operation stage; and

[0089] S222: In response to determining that the pulse width of the collected vibration detection pulse exceeds the pulse width threshold, determining that a living body exists in the clothes processing device.

[0090] In step S221, when the control unit 110 of the clothing processing device determines that the current operation stage is in the non-dehydration stage, the pulse width threshold corresponding to the operation stage is retrieved. It should be noted here that the category of the pulse width threshold corresponding to the operation stage is the same as the type of the pulse width of the vibration detection pulse collected in step S210. For example, when the pulse width of the vibration detection pulse collected in step S210 is the cumulative pulse width of the vibration detection pulse, the cumulative pulse width threshold is retrieved accordingly in step S221, and when the pulse width of the vibration detection pulse collected in step S210 is the maximum pulse width of the vibration detection pulse, the maximum pulse width threshold is retrieved accordingly in step S221.

[0091] In some embodiments, the non-dehydration stage in step S221 is a stage before the processing program is run, for example, a stage in which the material of the clothes to be processed is identified by an image sensor, an infrared sensor, etc. The pulse width threshold corresponding to the stage before the processing program is run is the first pulse width threshold. The processing program of the clothing processing device can be various clothing processing programs such as down washing, wool washing, air washing, high temperature washing, sterilization washing, smart washing, and speed washing, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0092] In the pre-processing stage, since the processing barrel (washing barrel or drying barrel, etc.) of the clothes processing device has not started to rotate, the cabinet of the clothes processing device will not vibrate, and the first pulse width threshold X1 of the present invention can be set to 1 sampling time, for example. It should be pointed out that the sampling time of the present invention can be set according to the actual situation of different clothes processing devices, and can also be set according to different processing programs.

[0093] When the sensor system 120 disposed on the cabinet of the clothing processing device senses that the cabinet is vibrating, a signal indicating that a vibration detection pulse is triggered is sent to the control unit 110. At this time, the control unit 110 can use the timer 140 to time the duration of the signal, thereby obtaining the pulse width of the vibration detection pulse. In step S222, when the control unit 110 of the clothing processing device determines that the pulse width of the vibration detection pulse collected at any time before the processing program is run exceeds the first pulse width threshold, it means that the cabinet of the clothing processing device is vibrating abnormally, thereby determining that there is a living body in the clothing processing device.

[0094] In some other embodiments, the non-dehydration stage in step S221 is the washing, rinsing or drying stage of the processing program, and the pulse width threshold corresponding to the washing, rinsing or drying stage of the processing program is the second pulse width threshold. It should be noted that in the washing, rinsing or drying stage of the processing program, since the speed of the processing barrel (washing barrel or drying barrel, etc.) of the clothing processing equipment is relatively low, but the housing of the clothing processing equipment still vibrates, the second pulse width threshold is greater than the first pulse width threshold. As an example, the second pulse width threshold X2 can be set to 4 to 6 sampling times, for example. Preferably, the second pulse width threshold X2 can be set to 5 sampling times, for example.

[0095] When the sensor system 120 disposed on the cabinet of the clothing processing device senses that the cabinet is vibrating, a signal indicating that a vibration detection pulse is triggered is sent to the control unit 110. At this time, the control unit 110 can use the timer 140 to time the duration of the signal, thereby obtaining the pulse width of the vibration detection pulse. In step S222, when the control unit 110 of the clothing processing device determines that the pulse width of the vibration detection pulse collected at any time before the processing program is run exceeds the second pulse width threshold, it means that the cabinet of the clothing processing device is vibrating abnormally, thereby determining that there is a living body in the clothing processing device.

[0096] Method 2

[0097] In this embodiment, the step of determining whether the clothes processing device has an abnormality according to the pulse width of the collected vibration detection pulse in step S220 includes determining whether there is eccentricity in the clothes processing device according to the pulse width of the collected vibration detection pulse.

[0098] Specifically, if Figure 8 As shown, the step of determining whether the laundry processing device has an abnormality according to the pulse width of the collected vibration detection pulse in step S220 includes:

[0099] S221', in response to determining that the operation stage of the clothes processing device is a dehydration stage, calling a pulse width threshold of the operation stage; and

[0100] S222': In response to determining that the pulse width of the collected vibration detection pulse exceeds the pulse width threshold, determining that eccentricity exists in the laundry processing device.

[0101] In detail, when the clothing processing device is in the dehydration stage, the clothing processing device vibrates due to the high rotation speed of the washing tub. At this time, the sensor system 120 arranged on the clothing processing device can detect the vibration amount of the clothing processing device, and send a signal that the vibration detection pulse is triggered when the detected vibration amount exceeds the preset vibration amount threshold. It should be pointed out here that when there is eccentricity in the clothing in the clothing processing device, the pulse width of the vibration detection pulse of the clothing processing device will change. Based on this, the present invention uses the pulse width of the vibration detection pulse of the clothing processing device to determine whether there is eccentricity in the clothing processing device, reduce the probability of misjudgment of eccentricity in the clothing processing device, and improve user satisfaction with the clothing processing device.

[0102] It should be noted that in the dehydration stage, the washing tub of the clothes processing device has a corresponding rotation-stop ratio. In other words, in the dehydration stage, the washing tub has a plurality of rotation timings and stop timings that are performed alternately. The inventor has found through research that when the clothes processing device does not have an eccentricity within the time range of the first one or two rotation-stop timings in the dehydration stage, or even when the clothes processing device does not have an eccentricity in the first rotation-stop timing, the probability of an eccentricity occurring in the subsequent rotation-stop timings is relatively low.

[0103] Based on this, the dehydration stage in the above step S221' may include a first preset time range for entering the dehydration stage and other dehydration stages except the first preset time range. And the present invention defines that the third pulse width threshold corresponding to the first preset time range is less than the fourth pulse width threshold corresponding to other dehydration stages except the first preset time range, so as to improve the sensitivity of the first preset time range to eccentricity detection. As an example, the third pulse width threshold X3 is 1 to 3 sampling times, and the fourth pulse width threshold X4 is 8 to 12 sampling times.

[0104] It can be seen that the third pulse width threshold value X3 is smaller than the second pulse width threshold value X2. This is because the rotation speed of the washing tub in the dehydration stage is greater than the rotation speed of the washing tub in the washing or rinsing stage. Therefore, the vibration frequency of the cabinet of the clothing processing device in the dehydration stage is also correspondingly greater than the vibration frequency in the washing or rinsing stage. Then, the pulse width of the vibration detection pulse in the dehydration stage is also correspondingly smaller than the pulse width of the vibration detection pulse in the washing or rinsing stage.

[0105] It is worth noting that the fourth pulse width threshold value X4 is greater than the second pulse width threshold value X2 mentioned above, which is to reduce the sensitivity of eccentricity detection in other dehydration stages except the first preset time range.

[0106] As an example, the timer 140 is used to count the time of entering the dehydration stage to determine the above-mentioned first preset time range. The above-mentioned first preset time range is, for example, from the start of the dehydration stage to the end of the second stop sequence. Preferably, the above-mentioned first preset time range is from the start of the dehydration stage to the end of the first stop sequence. More preferably, the above-mentioned first preset time range is from the start of the dehydration stage to one to two seconds after the start of the stop sequence in the first stop sequence. In addition, the counter 130 can also be used to count the stop sequence entering the dehydration stage to determine the above-mentioned first preset time range.

[0107] When the sensor system 120 provided on the cabinet of the clothing processing device senses that the cabinet is vibrating, a signal indicating that a vibration detection pulse is triggered is sent to the control unit 110. At this time, the control unit 110 can use the timer 140 to time the duration of the signal, thereby obtaining the pulse width of the vibration detection pulse. In step S222', when the control unit 110 of the clothing processing device determines that the pulse width of the vibration detection pulse collected at any time before the processing program is run exceeds the third pulse width threshold or the fourth pulse width threshold, it means that the cabinet of the clothing processing device has abnormally vibrated, thereby determining that there is eccentricity in the clothing processing device, and thus issuing a prompt signal correction instruction to achieve the purpose of balancing the eccentricity, reducing vibration and reducing noise.

[0108] Optionally, the instruction of the prompt signal is, for example, a correction instruction to add water into the washing tub again to adjust the distribution of the clothes.
