Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of clothing processing equipment, and in particular to a control method and device for clothing processing equipment and clothing processing equipment. Background Art

[0002] The current way of cleaning clothes with clothing processing equipment is generally to inject foam into the clothing processing cavity after the user randomly puts the clothes into the clothing processing cavity, and evenly soak the clothes with foam to clean the clothes as a whole. If there is a heavier stain part in the clothes, the cleaning effect of this part of the stain is poor. If a better cleaning effect is required for this part of the heavier stain, a large amount of foam needs to be wasted. For another possible processing method, the user can pre-process the heavier stains in advance, for example, clean the heavier stains by manual cleaning, and then clean the clothes as a whole through the clothing processing equipment. Although this processing method can save foam or detergent, it undoubtedly greatly affects the user experience. Summary of the invention

Obviously, for ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying any creative labor.

[0037] Figure 3 A schematic structural diagram of a clothing processing device provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] 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.

[0039] 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.

[0040] The following is an exemplary description of a control method and device for a clothes processing device and a clothes processing device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a control method for a clothes processing device provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control method for the clothes processing device comprising:

[0042] S101, generating stain placement prompt information to instruct the user to place at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothing in the foam placement area of ​​the clothing treatment chamber;

[0043] S102, controlling the clothing treatment device to put foam into at least a portion of the stained area of ​​the clothing.

[0044] Exemplarily, the clothing treatment device in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be a functional device capable of treating clothing, and clothing treatment may be one or more of cleaning, drying, or even softening, etc. The embodiment of the present disclosure takes a functional device capable of achieving the purpose of cleaning clothing through foam as an example. At least part of the stain area in the embodiment of the present disclosure may refer to an area corresponding to heavier stains attached to clothing, and heavier stains may refer to stains that are difficult to clean. The definition of difficult to clean may be based on the type of stain. For example, protein-containing stains such as blood stains are more difficult to clean than dust stains, so the portion of clothing stained with blood stains is a heavier stain portion than the portion of clothing stained with dust. For another example, coffee stains are more difficult to clean than dust stains, so the portion of clothing stained with coffee is a heavier stain portion than the portion of clothing stained with dust. For another example, protein-containing stains such as blood stains are more difficult to clean than coffee stains and juice stains, so the portion of clothing stained with blood stains is a heavier stain portion than the portion of clothing stained with coffee stains and juice stains. In some possible scenarios, the heavier stains in the embodiments of the present disclosure can also be defined based on the amount of substances that constitute the stains, such as the area of ​​the stain per unit area of ​​the clothing surface. If the stain area per unit area of ​​clothing reaches a first threshold, it can be determined that it is difficult to clean, that is, it is a heavier stain. The foam in the embodiments of the present disclosure may refer to foam that can achieve a cleaning effect on any type of stain involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The foam can be generated by mixing a cleaning stock solution with water and breaking it up through a clothing processing device. After the foam is generated and put into the clothing processing chamber, the foam is mixed with the clothing in the clothing processing chamber or adheres to the surface of the clothing, and the mechanical force generated by the bursting of the foam achieves a cleaning effect on the stains on the surface of the clothing.

[0045] In some scenarios, some areas of clothing have blood stains, and other areas are covered with dust stains. For dust stains attached to the surface of clothing, the cleaning effect can be achieved by, for example, evenly covering the entire clothing with foam. However, for areas with heavier stains such as blood stains, they are more difficult to clean than stains such as dust. Therefore, by evenly soaking each area of ​​the clothing with foam, at least some of the stained areas may not be completely cleaned. If a better cleaning effect is achieved for at least some of the stained areas, a large amount of foam needs to be used, or the user needs to clean at least some of the stained areas separately by manual cleaning, which is a poor user experience for the user.

[0046] Based on the above problems, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method for a clothing treatment device, which can generate stain placement prompt information to instruct the user to place at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothing in the foam delivery area of ​​the clothing treatment chamber, and then control the clothing treatment device to deliver foam to at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothing. Exemplarily, the stain placement prompt information may refer to information for prompting the user to place at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothing in the foam delivery area, and the prompt information may be implemented in various ways, such as through sound prompts, animation prompts, light prompts, light source prompts, etc. The foam delivery area may refer to the area where the foam falls when the clothing treatment device delivers foam into the clothing treatment chamber.

[0047] After the user places at least part of the stained area into the foam delivery area, when the clothing processing device delivers foam into the clothing processing chamber, the foam can be concentratedly sprayed onto at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothing, thereby increasing the amount of foam acting on the local stain and the action time, so that the foam can fully penetrate into at least part of the stained area to dissolve the stain, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the clothing processing device on at least part of the stained area and enhancing the decontamination effect. Therefore, compared with the method of placing the clothing in the clothing processing chamber at random and cleaning the clothing by evenly soaking the clothing with foam in the prior art, the method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can increase the amount of foam acting on at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothing and the action time, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect on at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothing.

[0048] In the prior art, if the effect of cleaning at least part of the stained area and other parts of the clothing is to be achieved, a large amount of foam needs to be introduced so that all positions of the clothing can be soaked with foam. Since the amount of foam soaked in the non-at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothing is the same as the amount of foam soaked in the at least part of the stained area, in order to achieve the effect of cleaning the stains in the at least part of the stained area, the amount of foam soaked in the non-at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothing is more than the amount of foam required for cleaning it, which leads to the need to introduce a larger amount of foam as a whole in the prior art. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the user places at least part of the stained area into the foam delivery area, the clothing processing device delivers foam into the clothing processing chamber. Since the foam delivered into the clothing processing chamber has fluidity, the foam will flow from the initial delivery position to the surroundings, thereby soaking the clothing at various positions in the clothing processing barrel, so that the foam fully penetrates into the clothing to dissolve the stains. Therefore, the foam can not only clean the stains at the delivery position, but also flow to other positions of other clothing to infiltrate and decompose the stains, so as to achieve the cleaning of the entire clothing. Since the foam is initially applied to at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothing, the amount of foam and the foam action time of at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothing are greater than those of other positions of the clothing, and at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothing can obtain a stronger decontamination effect. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can achieve a better cleaning effect on at least part of the stained area under the premise of using less foam, thereby avoiding the waste of foam. In addition, under the premise of using the control method of the clothing processing device provided by the present disclosure, the user only needs to place at least part of the stained area into the foam application area according to the prompts, which greatly reduces the user's operation process and improves the user's experience compared to pre-treating at least part of the stained area by manual cleaning.

[0049] In some embodiments, generating stain placement prompt information to instruct the user to place at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothing in the foam placement area of ​​the clothing treatment chamber includes:

[0050] The prompt light is controlled to illuminate the foam placement area of ​​the laundry processing chamber to instruct the user to place at least a portion of the stained area of ​​the laundry in the foam placement area of ​​the laundry processing chamber.

[0051] Exemplarily, when the clothing processing device puts foam into the clothing processing chamber, the position of the foam landing point can be fixed relative to the external world coordinate system, that is, the position of the foam delivery area can be fixed, and the prompt light can be controlled to illuminate the foam delivery area. After the prompt light illuminates the foam delivery area, the brightness of the foam delivery area forms a large brightness difference with other areas, so as to achieve the purpose of clearly prompting the foam delivery area, and then prompt the user to place at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothes in the foam delivery area of ​​the clothing processing chamber, so that the foam can effectively contact at least part of the stained area.

[0052] In some embodiments, generating stain placement prompt information to instruct the user to place at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothing in the foam placement area of ​​the clothing treatment chamber includes:

[0053] A stain placement voice prompt message is generated to instruct the user to place at least a portion of the stained area of ​​the clothing in the foam placement area of ​​the clothing treatment chamber.

[0054] For example, in some other possible implementations, the user may be reminded by voice prompt to place at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothing in the foam delivery area of ​​the clothing treatment chamber. For example, after the user starts the clothing treatment device, the clothing treatment device may send a reminder to the user through a speaker, "Please place at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothing at the bottom of the clothing treatment chamber and expose it to the air." Based on the above scheme, the user may be reminded by voice prompt to place at least part of the stained area in the foam delivery area, so that the foam can be directly delivered to the position corresponding to at least part of the stained area to contact the stain, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect.

[0055] In some embodiments, controlling the laundry treatment device to deliver foam to at least a portion of the stained area of ​​the laundry comprises:

[0056] The clothes treating device is controlled to deliver a first amount of foam to at least a portion of the stained area of ​​the clothes, and the foam is left to stand for a preset time.

[0057] Exemplarily, the first amount of foam may refer to the amount of foam thrown at at least part of the stain area. More specifically, the foam may be quantified in terms of volume or weight, and the first amount of foam may refer to the volume or weight of foam thrown at at least part of the stain area. After the first amount of foam is thrown at at least part of the stain area of ​​the clothes, the clothes processing chamber may be kept stationary for a preset time, that is, the clothes are kept stationary for a preset time, and the preset time may refer to a period of time, such as 3 minutes (time unit: minutes). During this time period, the foam can fully contact, diffuse, and react with at least part of the stain area to achieve a better cleaning effect for at least part of the stain area. If the clothes processing chamber is directly controlled to rotate to clean the clothes after the first amount of foam is thrown at at least part of the stain area, the foam will quickly diffuse to the entirety of the clothes based on the rotation of the clothes processing chamber. For at least part of the stain area, the amount of foam in contact with at least part of the stain area is reduced. That is, from one perspective, the embodiment of the present disclosure controls the clothing treatment device to release a first amount of foam to at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothing and leaves it to stand for a preset time so that the foam focuses on fully diffusing, contacting, and reacting in at least part of the stained area to achieve sufficient cleaning of at least part of the stained area, rather than diffusing, contacting, and reacting to the entire clothing to achieve cleaning of the entire clothing. Therefore, compared with the solution of directly controlling the rotation of the clothing treatment chamber to clean the clothing after releasing foam to the clothing, the solution of releasing a first amount of foam to at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothing and leaving it to stand for a preset time in the embodiment of the present disclosure can avoid the foam from diffusing in a larger range, thereby failing to achieve a better cleaning effect on at least part of the stained area.

[0058] In addition, when there are clothes made of easily worn materials in the clothing processing cavity, foam can be added into the clothing processing cavity in a static manner to avoid friction between clothes and between clothes and the clothing processing cavity, thereby avoiding damage to clothes and improving user experience.

[0059] In some embodiments, after standing for a preset time, the method further includes:

[0060] The clothes treating device is controlled to dispense a second amount of foam.

[0061] Exemplarily, after the embodiment of the present disclosure has been left to stand for a preset time so that the foam can focus on cleaning at least part of the stained area, the second amount of foam can be controlled to be released by the clothing treatment device. The meaning of the second amount of foam is similar to that of the first amount of foam in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the size relationship between the second amount of foam and the first amount of foam. The purpose of controlling the clothing treatment device to release the second amount of foam can be to clean the entire clothing, for example, to clean the dust attached to the clothing in the above embodiment and at least part of the stained area, so as to achieve a better cleaning effect for the entire clothing.

[0062] In some embodiments, controlling the laundry treatment device to deliver a second amount of foam comprises:

[0063] The clothes processing chamber of the clothes processing equipment is controlled to rotate, and a second amount of foam is delivered.

[0064] Exemplarily, in the process of controlling the clothing treatment device to release the second amount of foam, the second amount of foam can be released while controlling the rotation of the clothing treatment chamber of the clothing treatment device, that is, the release direction of the second amount of foam is relatively fixed, and the position of the clothing is constantly changing, thereby avoiding the accumulation of foam in one place due to the unchanged position of the foam landing point and the unchanged position of the clothing, so that the foam can be relatively evenly attached to the surface of the clothing with faster efficiency. For example, after the clothing treatment device releases 100ml (volume unit: milliliter) of foam to at least part of the stain area, it can be left to stand for 3 minutes, and then 300ml of foam is released into the clothing treatment chamber to clean the entire clothing. By controlling the rotation of the clothing treatment chamber when releasing the second amount of foam in the clothing treatment chamber, the foam can be evenly released to the clothing at various positions in the clothing treatment chamber, avoiding the problem that the foam is released to some areas of the clothing and insufficiently infiltrated with other areas, resulting in poor cleaning effect on the clothing, and using the rubbing and rolling of the clothing treatment device, combined with the rubbing between the clothes, the clothes are cleaned, and the bursting of the foam during the cleaning process increases the cleaning power, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the clothing treatment device.

[0065] In some embodiments, controlling the laundry treatment device to deliver a second amount of foam comprises:

[0066] After controlling the clothes processing device to deliver the second amount of foam, the clothes processing chamber of the clothes processing device is controlled to rotate.

[0067] For example, in the process of controlling the clothes treatment device to release the second amount of foam, the clothes treatment chamber of the clothes treatment device can also be controlled to rotate after the clothes treatment device is controlled to release the second amount of foam. That is, it can be considered that the foam has been in contact with the surface of the clothes to a certain extent, and the clothes treatment chamber can directly achieve a cleaning effect on the stains through the mechanical force generated by the foam rupture when rotating. This avoids the foam rupturing due to the influence of the rotation of the clothes treatment chamber when it is not in full contact with the clothes, thereby resulting in a poor cleaning effect.

[0068] In some embodiments, controlling the laundry treatment device to deliver a first amount of foam to at least a portion of the stained area of ​​the laundry comprises: controlling the laundry treatment device to deliver foam having a solution concentration of a first concentration and a delivery amount of the first delivery amount to at least a portion of the stained area of ​​the laundry;

[0069] Controlling the clothes processing device to release the second amount of foam comprises: controlling the clothes processing device to release the foam with a solution concentration of the second concentration and a release amount of the second amount;

[0070] Wherein, the first concentration is greater than the second concentration.

[0071] Exemplarily, the solution concentration in the embodiment of the present disclosure may refer to the ratio of the amount of active substances in the foam that can achieve a cleaning effect. The foam in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be produced by mixing a cleaning stock solution with a cleaning effect with water. The solution concentration may represent the content of the cleaning stock solution in the foam. The higher the solution concentration, the stronger the cleaning effect of the foam can be considered. In some scenarios, at least part of the stained area is more difficult to clean than other areas of the clothing. Therefore, at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothing can be focused on by adding a first concentration and a first amount of foam with a higher concentration, while for other areas of the clothing, a second concentration and a second amount of foam with a lower concentration can be used for cleaning. On the premise of ensuring that the cleaning effect on the clothing can be achieved, the amount of foam and / or cleaning stock solution used can be reduced.

[0072] For example, in some possible scenarios, the surface of the clothing may be stained only in at least a portion of the stained area, and other areas of the clothing are relatively clean, and the user only wants to clean at least a portion of the stained area. Therefore, the clothing can be cleaned using foam applied to at least a portion of the stained area.

[0073] In some embodiments, controlling the laundry treatment device to deliver foam to at least a portion of the stained area of ​​the laundry comprises:

[0074] The foam delivery amount corresponding to at least a portion of the stained area of ​​the clothes is determined, and the clothes treating device is controlled to deliver the foam of the foam delivery amount to at least a portion of the stained area of ​​the clothes.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the foam delivery amount corresponding to at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothes can be automatically determined by the clothes processing device. For example, the clothes processing device can analyze and determine the stain type, stain area, etc. of at least part of the stained area by image acquisition or other methods, and determine the foam delivery amount based on the stain type, stain area and preset mapping relationship. In some other possible embodiments, the foam delivery amount corresponding to at least part of the stained area can also be determined by manual input by the user. For example, the user can directly select the foam delivery amount through the buttons, knobs, etc. set on the machine body, or the user can select the stain type, stain area and other information through the buttons, knobs, etc. set on the machine body, and the clothes processing device can determine the foam delivery amount based on the stain type, stain area and other information input by the user and the preset mapping relationship. That is, based on the above scheme, the embodiment of the present disclosure can determine the foam delivery amount corresponding to at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothes, and control the clothes processing device to deliver the foam of the foam delivery amount to at least part of the stained area of ​​the clothes, so as to avoid the waste of foam while ensuring that the cleaning effect can be achieved on at least part of the stained area.

[0076] In some embodiments, generating stain placement prompt information includes:

[0077] Confirm that the clothing treatment device is started and generate a stain placement reminder message.

[0078] For example, the embodiment of the present disclosure can directly generate stain placement prompt information after determining that the laundry treatment device is started. For example, after the user starts the laundry treatment device, the prompt light can be directly used to illuminate the position corresponding to the foam placement area in the laundry treatment chamber to prompt the user to place at least part of the stain area in the foam placement area. In this way, the user can reduce the operation process and provide great convenience for the user.

[0079] In some embodiments, generating stain placement prompt information includes:

[0080] Confirm to start the foam cleaning program and generate a stain placement reminder message.

[0081] Exemplarily, the foam cleaning program in the embodiment of the present disclosure may refer to an application program for cleaning clothes that is executed by a controller of a clothes processing device to control the clothes processing device. In one possible implementation, the user can generate stain placement prompt information after starting the foam cleaning program. In another possible implementation, the foam cleaning program may include multiple programs, such as a normal cleaning program, a stain indication cleaning program, and the like. The normal cleaning program may be, for example, a program in which a user randomly puts clothes into a clothes processing chamber, injects foam into the clothes processing chamber, and evenly soaks the clothes with foam to clean the clothes as a whole. The stain indication cleaning program is a program in which a user generates stain placement prompt information after starting the stain indication cleaning program, instructing the user to place at least part of the stain area of ​​the clothes in the foam delivery area of ​​the clothes processing chamber, and then controls the clothes processing device to deliver foam to at least part of the stain area of ​​the clothes. If the user selects the normal cleaning program, the clothes processing device does not generate stain placement prompt information to avoid causing trouble to the user. After the user selects the stain indication cleaning program, the clothes processing device generates stain placement prompt information to instruct the user to place at least part of the stain area of ​​the clothes in the foam delivery area of ​​the clothes processing chamber. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can generate stain placement prompt information after determining to start the stain cleaning program to reduce the impact on the user, and only remind the user in the scenario where the user needs it, thereby improving the user's usage experience.

[0082] The inventors conducted relevant experiments using the above-mentioned control method for the laundry processing device as follows:

[0083] Experiment 1: Use two identical synthetic suits as clothing carriers with heavy stains. Drop the same amount of stains on the surfaces of the two pieces of clothing: 30μl of coffee (volume unit: microliter), 30μl of soy sauce, 50μl of red wine, and 30μl of blood stains. The same type of stains are placed in the same position on the two pieces of clothing and placed under constant temperature and humidity conditions for 24 hours. Use the solutions shown in Table 1 below to clean the two pieces of clothing respectively:

[0084] Table 1

[0085]

[0086] Among them, the detergent concentration in the above Table 1 can represent the concentration of detergent (active substance) with cleaning ability in the foam, that is, 400ml of foam contains 2g (weight unit: gram) of detergent. In Experiment 1, the scheme adopted in Scheme 1 is to directly put 400ml of foam into the clothing processing chamber to clean the entire clothing. The scheme adopted in Scheme 2 is to first put 100ml of foam into at least part of the stain area for pretreatment, let it stand for 3min (time unit: minute), and then put 300ml of foam into the clothing processing chamber to clean the entire clothing. Based on the above experiments, it can be concluded that the clothes treated by Scheme 2 can achieve better cleaning effects on all types of stains, while the clothes treated by Scheme 1 and put in the same amount of foam can achieve better cleaning effects on coffee, red wine and soy sauce, but cannot completely clean blood stains, that is, cannot achieve better cleaning effects on at least part of the stain area.

[0087] Experiment 2: Two identical blended windbreakers were used as carriers of clothing with heavy stains. The same amount of stains were dropped on the surfaces of the two pieces of clothing: 30μl of coffee, 30μl of soy sauce, 50μl of red wine, and 30μl of blood stains. The same type of stains were placed in the same position on the two pieces of clothing and placed under constant temperature and humidity conditions for 24 hours. The two pieces of clothing were cleaned using the solutions shown in Table 2 below:

[0088] Table 2
