[0037] See attached Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of the main steps of a washing control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the washing control method in the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps S101 to S103.

[0038] Step S101: when the user selects a washing program, the rinsing reference data corresponding to the washing program is obtained; wherein the rinsing reference data is set based on the historical rinsing data of the user when using the washing program in the past.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the user selects a washing program, the rinsing reference data corresponding to the washing program can be obtained. The rinsing reference data refers to the reference value of the detergent content in the rinsing water after the rinsing program is completed.

[0040] In one embodiment, the rinsing reference data can be obtained based on historical rinsing data collected from multiple times when the user uses the washing program. The historical rinsing data when the user uses the washing program can be uploaded to the server for storage, thereby obtaining multiple historical rinsing data. The historical rinsing data refers to the detergent content in the rinsing water after the historical rinsing program is completed.

[0041] In one embodiment, the rinsing reference data corresponding to the washing program can be retrieved from a preset server.

[0042] Step S102: when the preset rinsing program in the washing program is completed, the detergent content in the rinsing water is obtained.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the preset rinsing program in the current washing program is completed, the detergent content in the current rinsing water can be obtained.

[0044] In one embodiment, the detergent content in the current rinsing water may be obtained by a concentration detection sensor.

[0045] Step S103: selectively adjusting the remaining washing procedures according to the rinse reference data and the detergent content.

[0046] In this embodiment, the remaining part of the washing program can be selectively adjusted based on the rinse reference data and the detergent content.

[0047] In one embodiment, a rinse program may be added or the dehydration program may be directly entered according to the rinse reference data and the detergent content.

[0048] Based on the above steps S101 to S103, when the user selects a washing program, the embodiment of the present invention obtains the rinsing reference data corresponding to the washing program. The rinsing reference data is set according to the historical rinsing data of the user's historical use of the washing program. When the preset rinsing program in the washing program is completed, the detergent content in the rinsing water is obtained, and the remaining washing programs are selectively adjusted according to the rinsing reference data and the detergent content. Through the above configuration, the embodiment of the present invention can selectively adjust the washing program based on the rinsing reference data and the detergent content in the rinsing water. Since the rinsing reference data is obtained based on the user's historical rinsing data, the rinsing reference data can fully reflect the user's usage habits. At the same time, the washing program is selectively adjusted in combination with the detergent content in the rinsing water. While considering the user's usage habits, it can also effectively ensure the rinsing effect and effectively improve the user's usage experience.

[0049] The step S103 is further described below.

[0050] In one implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, step S103 may further include the following steps S1031 and S1032:

[0051] Step S1031: When the detergent content is greater than the rinse reference data, the remaining washing procedures are adjusted.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the detergent content is greater than the rinse reference data, the remaining washing procedures may be adjusted.

[0053] In one embodiment, when the detergent content is greater than the rinse reference data, the number of rinse programs can be increased until the detergent content in the rinse water is less than or equal to the rinse reference data, or the number of times is greater than or equal to a preset number threshold.

[0054] In this embodiment, if the washing content is greater than the rinsing reference data, it can be considered that the current rinsing situation does not meet the user's needs, and the number of rinsing programs can be increased to reduce the detergent content in the rinsing water. The detergent content can be detected each time the rinsing program is completed. If it is still greater than the rinsing reference data, another rinsing program can be added until the detergent content is less than or equal to the rinsing reference data, or until the number of rinsing times is greater than or equal to the preset number threshold. Those skilled in the art can set the number threshold according to the needs of actual applications, which are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] Step S1032: When the detergent content is less than or equal to the rinse reference data, the remaining washing procedures are not adjusted.

[0056] In this embodiment, if the detergent content is less than the rinse reference data, the remaining washing program may not be adjusted.

[0057] In one implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, the rinsing reference data corresponding to the washing program may be obtained according to the following steps S201 and S202:

[0058] Step S201: Acquire historical rinsing data when the rinsing program is completed when the user uses the washing program for multiple times in history.

[0059] In this implementation, step S201 may include the following steps S2011 and S2012:

[0060] Step S2011: When the user does not modify the preset rinsing program in the washing program, the detergent content in the rinsing water after the rinsing program is completed is used as the historical rinsing data of this time.

[0061] Step S2012: When the user modifies the preset rinsing program in the washing program, the detergent content in the rinsing water after the modified rinsing program is completed is used as the historical rinsing data of this time.

[0062] In this embodiment, when the user selects the washing program, it can be determined whether the user has self-programmed the rinsing program in the washing program, that is, whether the rinsing program has been modified. If the modification is made, after the modified rinsing program is completed, the detergent content in the rinsing water is obtained as the historical rinsing data of this time. If the rinsing program is not modified, the detergent content in the rinsing water after the rinsing program is completed is directly used as the historical rinsing data of this time.

[0063] Step S202: Acquire rinsing reference data of a washing program according to multiple historical rinsing data.

[0064] In this embodiment, the historical rinsing data of multiple times can be averaged to serve as the rinsing reference data of the washing program. The rinsing reference data can be uploaded to the server for calling.

[0065] 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.
