[0034] 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.

[0035] 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.

[0036] The technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to a clothing processing device having a foam generating component, and the clothing processing device may be a washing machine, a dryer, a washer-dryer or other types of equipment having a foam generating component or capable of executing a foam cleaning program to achieve a foam cleaning function, without limitation herein.

[0037] In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the clothing processing device includes a foam generating component and a clothing processing chamber; wherein, the foam generating component is connected to the clothing processing chamber, the clothing processing chamber can accommodate a load, the foam generating component can receive a dissolving medium (including water or an organic solvent) and a cleaning stock solution, and based on this, generates foam for cleaning the load (such as clothing), and then puts foam into the clothing processing chamber to achieve foam cleaning.

[0038] The control method of the clothing processing device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can make the duration of shaking off the load and the duration of the foam generating component to perform the target operation at least partially overlap by determining the process of the foam generating component performing the target operation while controlling the rotation of the clothing processing chamber. That is, at least part of the duration of the foam generating component to perform the target operation can be reused as the duration of shaking off the load, without setting an additional time period to perform the load shaking operation separately, thereby saving time and helping to shorten the overall clothing processing time of the clothing processing device.

[0039] In some embodiments, the target operation may be at least one of injecting a dissolving medium, injecting a stock solution, extracting a mixed solution, and the foam generating component not working (ie, the dissolving medium and the cleaning stock solution are left standing in the foam generating component), which is not limited here.

[0040] The control method, control device, storage medium and clothing processing equipment provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure are exemplarily described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0041] For example, Figure 1 A flow chart of a control method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 , the control method may include the following steps:

[0042] S100, determining that the foam generating component performs a target operation, and controlling the rotation of the laundry processing chamber.

[0043] In the disclosed embodiment, the load can be shaken off by controlling the rotation of the laundry processing chamber. The operation of controlling the rotation of the laundry processing chamber can start when the target operation starts to be executed, or can start at any time after the target operation starts to be executed and before it ends. Similarly, the load shaking off operation can end when the target operation ends, or can end at any time before the target operation ends, which is not limited here. The duration of the laundry processing chamber rotation can be equal to or different from the duration of the target operation, which is not limited here.

[0044] Exemplarily, when the number of operations associated with the foam generating component is at least two before the foam is added, the rotation duration of the clothing processing chamber can also run through all the associated operations and be equal to the total duration of all the associated operations, so that the load can be fully shaken off, thereby facilitating the improvement of the load washing ratio; at the same time, the rotation of the clothing processing chamber ends when the target operation ends, thereby not occupying the duration of subsequent foam cleaning and other programs, which is beneficial to shorten the total duration of load processing.

[0045] Exemplarily, the target operation may include the operation of injecting the dissolving medium and / or the cleaning solution into the foam generating component, and may also include the operation of allowing the dissolving medium and the cleaning solution to stand in the foam generating component after the injection is completed and before the foam is generated, and may also include the operation of extracting the mixed liquid, as well as other operations before or when the foam is added to the clothing processing chamber, which are not limited here.

[0046] In the control method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, by determining that the foam generating component performs a target operation and controlling the rotation of the clothing processing chamber to shake out the load, the duration of shaking out the load can be at least partially overlapped with the duration of the foam generating component performing the target operation, that is, at least part of the duration that the foam generating component is in the target operation is reused as the duration of shaking out the load, without setting an additional time period to perform the load shaking operation separately, thereby saving time and facilitating shortening the overall clothing processing time of the clothing processing device.

[0047] In some embodiments, Figure 1 Based on the above, controlling the rotation of the laundry processing chamber in S100 may specifically include:

[0048] The laundry processing chamber is controlled to perform at least one alternating rotation along a first direction and a second direction, wherein the second direction is opposite to the first direction.

[0049] Exemplarily, the first direction is one of the clockwise direction and the counterclockwise direction, and the second direction is the other of the clockwise direction and the counterclockwise direction. The first direction and the second direction are opposite, so that the clothing processing chamber rotates alternately in opposite directions, so that the load in the clothing processing chamber is shaken and separated to avoid stacking multiple loads together; when the foam is subsequently added, the foam can enter the load and contact different surfaces of the load, which is beneficial to expand the contact area between the foam and the load, making the foam dispersion and effectiveness more even, saving the demand for foam.

[0050] In other embodiments, the clothing processing chamber may be controlled to rotate in a first direction, or the clothing processing chamber may be controlled to rotate in a second direction to shake off the load, which is not limited here.

[0051] In some embodiments, the rotation ratio of the laundry processing chamber is (1-3):1; wherein the rotation ratio is the ratio between the duration of a single rotation in the first direction or in the second direction and the duration of a single stop.

[0052] Among them, for the rotation of the processing barrel along the first direction or along the second direction, the ratio between the rotation time and the stop time is the rotation-stop ratio; wherein, the duration of a single stop is the interval between two adjacent rotations, that is, the interval after the end of this rotation and before the start of the next rotation.

[0053] The above-mentioned start-stop ratio setting can be understood as the rhythm setting of the load shake-off. For example, the rhythm of the load shake-off may be: forward rotation for the first duration and stop for the second duration; or the rhythm of the load shake-off may be: reverse rotation for the third duration and stop for the fourth duration; wherein, the first duration may be 10s, 15s, 12s~14s or other durations, the second duration may be 2s, 3s, 2s~3s or other durations, the third duration may be 10s, 15s, 12s~14s or other durations, and the fourth duration may be 2s, 3s, 2s~3s or other durations, which are not limited here.

[0054] In the disclosed embodiment, by setting the start-stop ratio, it is helpful to fully shake off the load, so that the foam subsequently injected can enter the interior of the load and contact with different surfaces of the load, thereby expanding the contact area between the foam and the load, making the foam dispersion and effect more uniform, and saving the demand for foam.

[0055] In some embodiments, Figure 1 Based on the above, the foam generating component in S100 performs the target operation, which may specifically include:

[0056] Inject the dissolving medium into the foam generating component.

[0057] In the disclosed embodiment, the dissolving medium may include water or an organic solvent. While the dissolving medium is injected into the foam generating component, the clothing processing chamber is controlled to rotate to shake off the load; thereby, the time for injecting the dissolving medium and the time for shaking off the load at least partially overlap, thereby saving time and shortening the overall time for clothing processing.

[0058] In some embodiments, Figure 1 Based on the above, the foam generating component in S100 performs the target operation, which may specifically include:

[0059] Injecting the cleaning stock solution into the foam generating component means pumping the cleaning stock solution into the foam generating component.

[0060] In the disclosed embodiment, while the cleaning liquid is injected into the foam generating component, the clothing processing chamber is controlled to rotate to shake out the load; thereby, the time for injecting the cleaning liquid into the foam generating component and the time for shaking out the load at least partially overlap, thereby saving time and shortening the overall clothing processing time.

[0061] In some embodiments, Figure 1 Based on the above, the foam generating component in S100 performs the target operation, which may specifically include:

[0062] Determine that the operation of injecting the dissolving medium and the cleaning stock solution into the foam generating component is completed, and control the foam generating component to extract the mixed solution of the dissolving medium and the cleaning stock solution and generate foam.

[0063] In the disclosed embodiment, while the foam generating component extracts the mixed liquid, the clothing processing chamber is controlled to rotate to shake out the load; thereby, the time duration for the foam generating component to extract the mixed liquid and the time duration for shaking out the load at least partially overlap, thereby saving time and shortening the overall clothing processing time.

[0064] In some embodiments, Figure 1 Based on the above, the foam generating component in S100 performs the target operation, which may specifically include:

[0065] Determine to execute the foam cleaning program, and control the clothing processing equipment to inject the dissolving medium and the cleaning stock solution into the foam generating component;

[0066] Make sure that the operation of injecting the dissolving medium and the cleaning stock solution is completed, and control the foam generating component to stop working to blend the dissolving medium and the cleaning stock solution.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the operation of injecting the dissolving medium and the cleaning stock solution into the foam generating component is completed, the foam generating component is controlled not to generate foam immediately, but to be left standing for a period of time to allow the dissolving medium and the cleaning stock solution to be fully mixed, to facilitate subsequent uniform foaming, and to facilitate the generation of dense foam, which is beneficial to the effectiveness of the foam.

[0068] In some embodiments, Figure 1 On the basis of, the control method may also include:

[0069] Determining that the target operation is completed, and controlling the laundry processing chamber to be stationary;

[0070] Putting foam into the clothing treatment chamber based on the foam generating component;

[0071] It is determined that the amount of foam delivered reaches a preset amount, and the clothing processing chamber is controlled to rotate along a preset direction.

[0072] Among them, the target operation is completed. In order to avoid taking extra time to shake off the load, the clothing processing chamber is controlled to be stationary at this time; then foam is added to the clothing processing chamber through the foam generating component. During the foam adding process, the clothing processing chamber first stands still and then rotates along a preset direction.

[0073] Among them, when the clothing processing chamber is stationary, it can ensure that there is no air flow in the clothing processing chamber from the initial time of foam addition, and the impact on the foam is minimal, so that the added foam can be well attached to and infiltrated with the load, which is beneficial for the foam to fully react with the stains in the load, thereby helping to improve the cleaning effect.

[0074] After the preset amount of foam is added, the clothing processing chamber is controlled to rotate. Through the rotation of the clothing processing chamber, the load in the clothing processing chamber can be shaken off, which is beneficial for the foam to fully contact and adhere to and infiltrate multiple different surfaces of the load, thereby expanding the contact area between the foam and the load, and realizing the foam cleaning operation through the physical action of the foam bursting on the load surface and the chemical action of the foam reacting with the stains in the load. At the same time, through the corresponding mechanical force of rotation, the foam is quickly burst and infiltrated after being attached to the load, which is beneficial for the foam to fully react with the stains in the load, thereby further improving the cleaning effect.

[0075] The preset delivery amount of this embodiment includes: at least one of a preset delivery weight, a preset delivery volume, and a preset delivery time, which is not limited in this embodiment. For example, in some embodiments, the clothing processing chamber controls the barrel to rotate after the delivery amount of the foam reaches the preset delivery weight, or the clothing processing chamber controls the barrel to rotate after the delivery amount of the foam reaches the preset delivery volume. In some embodiments, the preset delivery time can be set to be equal to or greater than 30 seconds and less than or equal to 10 minutes, and after the preset delivery time is reached, the clothing processing chamber is controlled to rotate.

[0076] The preset directions of the embodiments of the present disclosure include: a first direction, a second direction, or an alternating first direction and a second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are opposite. The specific directions of the first direction and the second direction are not limited. For example, the first direction may be one of a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction, the second direction may be the other of a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction, and the first direction and the second direction are opposite. In other embodiments, other methods may be used for foam cleaning, which are not limited here.
