Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular relates to a control method, a device, a storage medium and a clothing processing device. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's consumption level, washing machines have become a must-have household appliance. In the rinsing stage, in order to rinse off stains and residual detergent, a large amount of tap water or more rinses are required to rinse the clothes, which will inevitably consume a lot of water resources. Even for water-saving drum washing machines, it is necessary to rinse at least twice to rinse the clothes. At present, there are many types of washing machines, and all of them have the problem of large water consumption and water waste. Especially in certain specific environments and areas with scarce water resources, water conservation is particularly important.

[0003] At present, washing machines with water-saving functions have appeared on the market. For example, Chinese patent application number 201410192501.4 discloses a washing machine control method and a washing machine, which includes a water tank, a flocculation container and a filter container. The water tank, the flocculation container, the filter container and the water tank are connected in a loop through a pipeline in sequence. The flocculation container is provided with a stirring mechanism for stirring to accelerate the dissolution of the flocculant and a cleaning mechanism for flushing and cleaning the inner wall of the flocculation container. The water after washing is discharged to the flocculation container. After flocculation treatment, it is filtered by the filter container and then discharged to the washing machine water tank for rinsing. The treatment process is repeated until rinsing is completed. The above scheme adopts a method of recycling washing and rinsing water to save water resources, but it does not design a more sophisticated control logic. Each washing or rinsing water will be recycled after flocculation treatment, which will inevitably lead to residual flocculants being brought into the clothes, and a large amount of flocculants are also present in the discharged wastewater. On the one hand, it brings a bad laundry experience to users, and on the other hand, the large-scale use and discharge of flocculants will pollute the natural environment. In other words, we should not only focus on water conservation, but also look at user experience and environmental protection.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0005] The main purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and to provide a control method, device, storage medium and clothing processing equipment for clothing processing equipment, which selectively execute water-saving washing programs, which not only effectively save water, but also ensure user experience and environmental protection.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is:

[0007] The first technical solution of the present invention is a control method for a clothes processing device, wherein the clothes processing device executes a default washing program or a water-saving washing program according to a set number of rinsing times N1.

[0008] Furthermore, the laundry processing device has a default rinsing number N0. When the set rinsing number N1≤N0, the laundry processing device executes a default washing program. When N1>N0, the laundry processing device executes a water-saving washing mode.

[0009] Furthermore, in the water-saving washing program, if in any one of the 1st to N1-2nd rinses, it is detected that the current concentration Ma of the detergent in the rinse water is ≥ the first set concentration M1, then after the rinse is completed, the rinse water is directly discharged and the next rinse is performed with clean water; if it is detected that the current concentration Ma of the detergent in the rinse water is < the first set concentration M1, then after the rinse is completed, the rinse water is purified and used for the next rinse;

[0010] The N1th rinse is rinsed with clean water.

[0011] Furthermore, if it is detected that the current concentration Ma of the detergent in the rinsing water is ≥ the first set concentration M1 in each rinse from the 1st to the N1-1th rinse, a clean water rinse is added after the N1-1th rinse.

[0012] Furthermore, if it is detected that the current concentration Ma of the detergent in the rinsing water is less than the second set concentration M2 in any rinse from the 1st to the N1-1th time, the rinsing water will be directly discharged after the rinse is completed, and the next rinse will be rinsed with clean water and will be the last rinse.

[0013] Furthermore, the purification treatment includes at least one of filtration, sedimentation, defoaming, flocculation, and sterilization.

[0014] The second technical solution of the present invention is a control device for a clothing processing equipment, comprising one or more processors and a computer-readable storage medium storing an executable program. When the one or more processors execute the executable program, the one or more processors are used to implement the control method of the clothing processing equipment as described above.

[0015] A third technical solution of the present invention is a computer-readable storage medium, which stores an executable program. When the executable program is executed by one or more processors, the one or more processors are used to implement the control method of the clothing processing device as described above.

[0016] A fourth technical solution of the present invention is a clothes processing device, which adopts the control method of the clothes processing device as described above, or includes the control device of the clothes processing device as described above, or includes the computer-readable storage medium as described above.

[0017] Furthermore, the clothes treating apparatus comprises a water storage module for containing and purifying water.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0019] 1. In the present invention, the clothing processing device executes a default washing program or a water-saving washing program according to the set number of rinses, without the need for the user to select a water-saving program separately. The control is more precise, and the user's senseless operation is achieved, thereby improving the user experience.

[0020] 2. In the present invention, the default rinsing times N0 is set for the laundry processing device. When the set rinsing times N1≤N0, the laundry processing device executes the default washing program. When N1>N0, the laundry processing device executes the water-saving washing mode. Executing the default washing program under appropriate circumstances reduces the use of flocculants, reduces the residue of flocculants in the clothes, and also reduces the emission of pollutants.

The exemplary embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are used to explain the present invention, but do not constitute an improper limitation of the present invention. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work. In the accompanying drawings:

[0022] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the control method of the clothes processing equipment of the present invention.

[0023] It should be noted that these drawings and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the conceptual scope of the present invention in any way, but are intended to illustrate the concept of the present invention for those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0025] [Example 1]

[0026] like Figure 1As shown, the present embodiment provides a control method for a clothing processing device, wherein the clothing processing device includes but is not limited to a washing machine and a shoe washing machine. Taking a washing machine as an example, its washing process mainly includes several stages of washing, rinsing, and drying. In the washing stage, the washing machine takes in water and detergent to wash the clothes. After entering the rinsing stage, in order to rinse off stains and residual detergent, more water needs to be taken in or more rinsing times are performed to rinse the clothes. In order to rinse the clothes, at least two rinsings are required, and sometimes the rinsing water is relatively clean, and it is very wasteful to discharge it directly. Therefore, recycling the rinsing water can save a lot of water resources.

[0027] Specifically, in the present invention, the laundry processing device executes a default washing program or a water-saving washing program according to the set number of rinses N1. Further, the set number of times N1 may be a default selection according to the washing program selected by the user, may be based on the user's manual input, or may be matched by the laundry processing device through automatic identification according to the specific conditions of the laundry, which is not specifically limited here.

[0028] In some embodiments, the laundry treatment device has a default rinsing number N0. When the set rinsing number N1≤N0, the laundry treatment device executes a default washing program. When N1>N0, the laundry treatment device executes a water-saving washing mode. In a preferred embodiment, the default number N0 is 2.

[0029] In some embodiments, after the laundry processing device selects to execute a water-saving washing program, the specific washing program will be adjusted according to the detergent concentration in the rinse water, as follows:

[0030] During the 1st to N1-1th rinses, the current concentration Ma of the detergent in the rinse water is detected during each rinse;

[0031] If, in any of the 1st to N1-2nd rinses, it is detected that the current concentration Ma of the detergent in the rinse water is ≥ the first set concentration M1, then the rinse water is directly discharged after the rinse is completed, and clean water is used for the next rinse; if it is detected that the current concentration Ma of the detergent in the rinse water is < the first set concentration M1, then after the rinse is completed, the rinse water is purified and used for the next rinse;

[0032] The N1th rinse is rinsed with clean water.

[0033] It should be noted that the first set concentration M1 here is the data pre-stored in the clothing processing device, and can also be adjusted by the user or system update. If the current concentration exceeds the first set concentration, it means that the current detergent content is high, and the rinse water is not suitable for secondary use even after purification, so it is directly discharged. If the current concentration is lower than the first set concentration, it means that the current detergent content is low, and it can be used for rinsing again after purification. In this way, the reuse of rinse water is realized, effectively reducing the waste of water resources. It should be noted that in the above scheme, it is preferred to use the reused rinse water for the intermediate times of rinsing, and use clean water for the first and last rinses to ensure the clean effect of rinsing.

[0034] In some embodiments, the purification treatment includes at least one of filtration, sedimentation, defoaming, flocculation, and sterilization. Preferably, at least a filtration step is included to filter out impurities such as lint in the rinsing water, and at the same time, the foam attached to the lint and a certain amount of detergent can be taken away, so that the concentration of detergent in the rinsing water is reduced, so as to better perform the next rinsing.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, not every rinse water needs to be treated, and not every purification treatment needs to use a flocculant, thereby effectively reducing the use of flocculants, reducing the residue of flocculants on users' clothes, and reducing the pollution caused by discharge into the nature.

[0036] For example, a default washing mode is preset in the laundry processing device, and the number of rinses in this mode is the default number N0=2. If the user adjusts the washing parameters by himself, or the amount of clothes washed by the user is relatively large, the laundry processing device automatically adjusts the number of rinses to 4 after weighing. At this time, the laundry processing device automatically executes the water-saving washing mode, and in the first to third rinses, the current concentration Ma of the detergent in the rinse water is detected for each rinse.

[0037] The first rinse is a clean water rinse. After the first rinse, if the current concentration Ma of the detergent is ≥ the first set concentration M1, the rinse water will be directly discharged and clean water will be used for the second rinse; if the current concentration Ma is < the first set concentration M1, the rinse water will be purified and used for the second rinse; the same is true for the subsequent second rinse, but the rinse water will no longer be recycled after the third rinse, and the water will be directly discharged and clean water will be used for the fourth rinse to ensure the final cleaning effect.

[0038] In some embodiments, the laundry treatment device may also automatically adjust the number of rinse cycles based on the current concentration of detergent in the rinse water.

[0039] Furthermore, if the current concentration Ma of the detergent is detected to be ≥ the first set concentration M1 in each rinse from the 1st to the N1-1th time, it indicates that the amount of detergent in this wash is too much, and the detergent cannot be effectively rinsed out by the current washing program, and an additional rinse is added at this time. It is understandable that when the amount of detergent is too much, it is possible that an additional rinse is not enough to rinse thoroughly, so the current concentration of the detergent is detected in the additional rinses, and if the current concentration Ma of the detergent is ≥ the first set concentration M1, then another rinse is added until the current concentration Ma of the detergent in the rinse water is < the first set concentration M1.

[0040] Furthermore, if it is detected that the current concentration Ma of the detergent in the rinsing water is less than the second set concentration M2 in any of the 1st to N1-1th rinses, the rinse water will be directly discharged after the rinse is completed, and the next rinse will be rinsed with clean water and will be the last rinse. Here, the second set concentration M2 is less than the first set concentration M1, and the current concentration of the detergent is lower than the second set concentration, indicating that the current rinse has met the cleanliness standard and does not need to be rinsed multiple times later. Just rinse with clean water. In this way, the number of rinses can be reduced according to the actual situation, which can reduce the overall washing time on the one hand, and save water and electricity on the other hand, which is green and environmentally friendly.

[0041] In some embodiments, when recycled rinsing water is used for rinsing, not all of the water is recycled water, but a mixture of new water and recycled water is used. This can effectively ensure the effectiveness of rinsing and make rinsing cleaner while saving water.

[0042] [Example 2]

[0043] This embodiment provides a control device for a clothing processing device, including one or more processors and a computer-readable storage medium storing an executable program. When one or more processors execute the executable program, the one or more processors are used to implement the control method for the clothing processing device in Example 1.

[0044] [Example 3]

[0045] This embodiment provides a computer-readable storage medium, in which an executable program is stored. When the executable program is executed by one or more processors, the one or more processors are used to implement the control method of the clothing processing device in Embodiment 1.

[0046] [Example 4]

[0047] The embodiment provides a clothes processing device, which adopts the control method of the clothes processing device in embodiment 1, or includes the control device of the clothes processing device in embodiment 2, or includes the computer-readable storage medium in embodiment 3.

[0048] In some embodiments, the clothing treatment device includes a water storage module for containing and purifying water. Furthermore, a purification component is provided in the water storage module, including one or more of filtering, sedimentation, defoaming, flocculation, and sterilization components, for performing corresponding purification treatment on the internal rinsing water. Furthermore, when the clothing treatment device chooses to execute a water-saving washing program, in any rinse from the 1st to the N1-2nd time, if the current concentration Ma is less than the first set concentration M1, the rinse water is connected to the water storage module, purified and used for the next rinse.

[0049] In some embodiments, the water storage module is arranged at the bottom of the clothes processing device, which is more convenient for collecting the rinsing water. The water storage module is connected to the water inlet channel of the clothes processing device through a return pipe, and a water pump is arranged on the return pipe to drive the flow of water.

[0050] In some embodiments, the clothing processing device is provided with a spray head, and the spray direction of the spray head is to spray from the inlet of the clothing processing device toward the inside. During rinsing, water is introduced in a spraying manner, which can prompt the spray water flow to impact and penetrate the clothing, and better remove the stains and detergents in the clothing fibers. While spraying, the inner drum is rotated at a certain speed and low speed to ensure that the clothes in the washing drum are evenly sprayed with rinse water. This has a good rinsing effect and can also achieve a certain water-saving effect.

[0051] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0052] 1. In the present invention, the clothing processing device executes a default washing program or a water-saving washing program according to the set number of rinses, without the need for the user to select a water-saving program separately.

[0053] 2. In the present invention, the default rinsing times N0 is set for the laundry processing device. When the set rinsing times N1≤N0, the laundry processing device executes the default washing program. When N1>N0, the laundry processing device executes the water-saving washing mode. Executing the default washing program under appropriate circumstances reduces the use of flocculants, reduces the residue of flocculants in the clothes, and also reduces the emission of pollutants.
