[0043] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the present invention provides a washing equipment control method for controlling the washing equipment, the washing equipment at least comprising a washing tub 410, a circulation pump 430 and a circulation pipe 440, the circulation pipe 440 is used to connect the circulation pump 430 and the washing tub 410, the circulation pump 430 is used to pump the water in the washing tub 410 to the first water inlet 420 at the top of the washing tub 410 through the circulation pipe 440, and the circulation pump 430 is also used to fill and drain the washing tub 410, the washing equipment control method comprises:

[0044] S100, after the washing equipment has finished washing water inflow, the circulation pump 430 is started to pump water to the first water inlet 420, and it is determined whether the actual flow rate of the first water inlet 420 is less than the target flow rate.

[0045] The washing water inlet of the washing equipment is the circulating pump 430 pumping water into the washing tub 410 .

[0046] Among them, the actual flow rate of the first water inlet 420 can reflect the pumping capacity of the circulation pump 430. If the actual flow rate of the first water inlet 420 is less than the target flow rate, it can be determined that there is trapped air in the circulation pump 430, resulting in weak pumping capacity of the circulation pump 430. The circulation pump 430 cannot pump water to the target head or the pumped flow rate cannot meet the target flow path, thereby causing the first water inlet 420 to be unable to normally supply water to the washing tub 410; on the contrary, if the actual flow rate of the first water inlet 420 is greater than or equal to the target flow rate, it means that the circulation pump 430 can pump water to the target head, ensuring the normal operation of the first water inlet 420.

[0047] S200, after determining that the actual flow rate is less than the target flow rate, determine the shutdown water inlet time of the circulation pump 430 according to the water level in the washing tub 410, and control the circulation pump 430 to enter the shutdown water inlet state until the shutdown water inlet time ends.

[0048] Among them, the water level in the washing tub 410 is generally determined according to the weight of the dry clothes in the washing tub 410. The water in the washing tub 410 is pumped to the washing tub 410 by the circulating pump 430. The water level in the washing tub 410 is related to the amount of water pumped by the circulating pump 430, which will directly affect the amount of air retained in the pump chamber of the circulating pump 430.

[0049] Among them, when the circulating pump 430 is in the shutdown water intake state, when the circulating pump 430 is shut down, the water in the washing tub 410 will automatically enter the pump cavity of the circulating pump 430 to squeeze out the trapped air, thereby ensuring that the circulating pump 430 can pump water to the target lift when it is started next time.

[0050] S300, restart the circulating pump 430 after the circulating pump 430 stops and the water intake is completed.

[0051] Among them, after the circulation pump 430 stops and the water intake is completed, the circulation pump 430 is restarted. Since there is no influence of trapped air, the circulation pump 430 can pump water to the target head, and it is determined that the circulation pump 430 can smoothly pump the water in the washing barrel 410 to the first water inlet 420.

[0052] In some embodiments, S200, after determining that the actual flow rate is less than the target flow rate, determining the downtime water inlet time of the circulation pump 430 according to the water level in the washing tub 410 includes:

[0053] The water inlet stop time is determined according to the water level in the washing tub 410 and the compensation time.

[0054] The water level in the washing tub 410 can be directly obtained by a water level sensor, or can be determined according to the weight of dry clothes in the washing tub 410 when washing water is entering, or can be determined according to the pumping time and pumping flow of the circulation pump 430.

[0055] The compensation time is data pre-stored in the washing equipment controller, which is used to calculate the downtime and water inlet time.

[0056] Specifically, according to the water level h (mm) in the washing tub 410, the compensation time T 补偿 (s), determine the shutdown water inlet time T 待机 Includes: T 待机 =T 补偿 -0.15*h.

[0057] Among them, T 补偿 =22(s), it should be noted that T 补偿 It is usually related to the type of washing equipment. For example, the water level range of a drum washing machine is generally 0mm-80mm. At this time, T 补偿 The general value is 22 seconds.

[0058] For example, when the water level in the washing tub 410 is 40 mm, the water inlet time is T 待机 =22-0.15*40=14s, that is, the shutdown water inlet time is 14 seconds.

[0059] That is, the shutdown water inlet time at any water level can be determined according to the above content to ensure that the circulation pump 430 can pump water to the target head after the shutdown water inlet time.

[0060] In some other embodiments, S200, determining the shutdown water inlet time of the circulation pump 430 according to the water level in the washing tub 410, includes:

[0061] S210, determining a water level range within the washing tub 410.

[0062] The controller of the washing device stores multiple water level ranges, and when determining the water level in the washing tub 410, the water level range corresponding to the water level can be determined. For example, the water levels stored in the washing tub 410 are: [0mm, 20mm), [20mm, 60mm], (60mm, x), where x is the highest water level of the washing device.

[0063] S220, if it is determined that the water level in the washing tub 410 is lower than the first water level, the downtime of the circulating pump 430 for water filling is determined to be a first duration; if it is determined that the water level in the washing tub 410 is between the first water level and the second water level, the downtime of the circulating pump 430 for water filling is determined to be a second duration; if it is determined that the water level in the washing tub 410 is higher than the second water level, the downtime of the circulating pump 430 for water filling is determined to be a third duration; wherein, the second water level is higher than the first water level, the third duration is less than the second duration, and the second duration is less than the first duration.

[0064] Among them, the first duration, the second duration, and the third duration are duration data stored in the washing equipment controller. After determining the water level range corresponding to the water level in the washing tub 410, the corresponding shutdown water inlet duration is determined according to the corresponding water level range.

[0065] For example, the specific water level range is: [0, first water level), [first water level, second water level], (second water level, X], where X is the highest water level of the washing equipment, the first time length is T1, the second time length is T2, and the third time length is T3, where T1>T2>T3; when it is determined that the water level h in the washing tub 410 is less than the first water level, the shutdown water inlet time is determined to be the first time length; when it is determined that the water level h in the washing tub 410 is between the first water level and the second water level, the water injection time is determined to be the second time length; when it is determined that the water level h in the washing tub 410 is greater than the second water level, the water injection time is determined to be the third time length.

[0066] The water level in the washing tub 410 being between the first water level and the second water level means that the water level in the washing tub 410 is greater than or equal to the first water level and less than or equal to the second water level.

[0067] In some embodiments, the controller also stores a plurality of water level ranges and the corresponding shutdown water inlet times.

[0068] In some embodiments, before the washing device is filled with water, the control method further includes:

[0069] According to the weight of the dry laundry in the washing tub 410, the water level in the washing tub 410 is determined.

[0070] The washing water level is determined according to the weight of the dry laundry in the washing tub 410 to ensure that the water level in the washing tub 410 can achieve a good washing effect without wasting too much water.

[0071] Specifically, the washing device stores a plurality of dry laundry weight ranges and a plurality of washing water levels corresponding to the dry laundry weight ranges. For example, the dry laundry weight ranges include (0, 2kg], (2kg, 5kg], (5kg, 7kg], (7kg, 9kg], and the corresponding water levels are 20mm, 40mm, 70mm, and 80mm, respectively; when the weight of the laundry is 5kg, the corresponding washing water level should be 40mm.

[0072] In some embodiments, after the circulation pump 430 is restarted after the water inlet time of the circulation pump 430 is over, the control method further includes:

[0073] S400, determining whether the actual flow rate is less than the target flow rate.

[0074] S500, after determining that the actual flow rate is less than the target flow rate, the shutdown water inlet time of the circulation pump 430 is determined again according to the water level in the washing tub 410, and the circulation pump 430 is controlled to enter the shutdown water inlet state until the shutdown water inlet time ends and then the circulation pump 430 is restarted.

[0075] That is, it is determined again whether the actual flow rate is less than the target flow rate, and the pumping capacity of the circulation pump 430 is rechecked.

[0076] In some embodiments, S500 is: after determining that the actual flow rate is less than the target flow rate, controlling the circulation pump 430 to enter a shutdown water inlet state and standby for a preset time period, and restarting the circulation pump 430 after the preset standby time period ends.

[0077] Among them, the preset time is the standby time of the circulation pump 430 pre-stored in the controller of the washing equipment, which is generally a guaranteed time to ensure that the pump cavity of the circulation pump 430 is full of water, and is generally taken as 30s to ensure that the pump cavity of the circulation pump 430 is full of water.

[0078] In some embodiments, the control method further comprises:

[0079] S600, after determining that the actual flow rate is greater than or equal to the target flow rate, controlling the washing device to execute a washing program.

[0080] If it is determined that the actual flow rate is greater than or equal to the target flow rate, it means that the circulation pump 430 can pump water to the first water inlet 420, and then the washing program can be executed normally.

[0081] In some embodiments, S100, determining whether the actual flow rate of the first water inlet 420 is less than the target flow rate includes:

[0082] S110, determining a first difference between the actual flow rate and the target flow rate.

[0083] The target flow rate is data pre-stored in the controller of the washing equipment for determining whether the actual flow rate reaches the standard.

[0084] Among them, the actual flow rate is Q1, the target flow rate is Q0, and the first difference is P=Q1-Q0.

[0085] S120: When the first difference is smaller than the set difference, it is determined that the actual flow rate is smaller than the target flow rate.

[0086] Among them, P0 is the set difference, which is the data pre-stored in the controller of the washing equipment. It is judged by the first difference between the actual flow rate and the target flow rate, and a certain redundant space is given to the error caused by the working state of the circulation pump 430 and the flow measurement error to ensure that the standby state will not be entered when the actual pumping capacity is sufficient.

[0087] In some embodiments, the present invention further provides a washing equipment control device, comprising an acquisition module 100, a judgment module 200 and a control module 300. The acquisition module 100 is used to obtain the water level in the washing tub 410, and to obtain the actual flow rate of the first water inlet 420. The judgment module 200 is used to determine whether the actual flow rate is less than the target flow rate. The control module 300 is used to start the circulation pump 430 to deliver water to the first water inlet 420 after the washing water inlet of the washing equipment is completed. The control module 300 is used to determine the shutdown water inlet time of the circulation pump 430 according to the water level in the washing tub 410 after determining that the actual flow rate is less than the target flow rate, and control the circulation pump 430 to enter the standby state until the shutdown water inlet time is over and the circulation pump 430 is restarted.

[0088] In some embodiments, the present invention further provides a washing device, which may include a processor 601 of one or more processing cores, a memory 602 of one or more computer-readable storage media, a power supply 603, an input unit 604 and other components. The washing device also includes a washing tub 410, a circulation pump 430 and a circulation pipe 440. The circulation pipe 440 is used to connect the circulation pump 430 and the washing tub 410. The circulation pump 430 is used to pump the water in the washing tub 410 to the first water inlet 420 at the top of the washing tub 410 through the circulation pipe 440. Those skilled in the art will understand that the structure of the above-mentioned washing device does not constitute a limitation on the washing device, and may include more or fewer components, or a combination of certain components, or different component arrangements. Among them:

[0089] The processor 601 is the controller of the washing device, and uses various interfaces and lines to connect various parts of the entire washing device. By running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in the memory 602, and calling data stored in the memory 602, the processor 601 performs various functions of the washing device and processes data, thereby monitoring the washing device as a whole. Optionally, the processor 601 may include one or more processing cores; preferably, the processor 601 may integrate an application processor 601 and a modem processor 601, wherein the application processor 601 mainly processes operating systems, user interfaces, and computer programs, and the modem processor 601 mainly processes wireless communications. It is understandable that the above-mentioned modem processor 601 may not be integrated into the processor 601.

[0090] The memory 602 can be used to store software programs and modules. The processor 601 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the software programs and modules stored in the memory.

Accordingly, the memory may also include a memory controller to provide the processor 601 with access to the memory.

[0091] The washing device also includes a power supply 603 for supplying power to each component. Preferably, the power supply 603 can be logically connected to the processor 601 through a power management system, so as to manage charging, discharging, and power consumption through the power management system. The power supply can also include any components such as one or more DC or AC power supplies, recharging systems, power failure detection circuits, power converters or inverters, and power status indicators.

[0092] The washing machine may further include an input unit 604, which may be used to receive input digital or character information and generate keyboard, mouse, joystick, optical or trackball signal inputs related to user settings and function controls.

[0093] Although not shown, the washing device may further include a display unit, etc., which will not be described in detail herein. Specifically in this embodiment, the processor 601 in the washing device will load the executable files corresponding to the processes of one or more computer programs into the memory 602 according to the following instructions, and the processor 601 will run the computer program stored in the memory 602 to perform the following steps:

[0094] After the washing equipment has finished washing water, the circulation pump 430 is started to supply water to the first water inlet 420 to determine whether the actual flow rate of the first water inlet 420 is less than the target flow rate;

[0095] After determining that the actual flow rate is less than the target flow rate, the shutdown water inlet time of the circulation pump 430 is determined according to the water level in the washing tub 410, and the circulation pump 430 is controlled to enter a standby state until the shutdown water inlet time;

[0096] After the circulation pump 430 is stopped and the water intake is completed, the circulation pump 430 is restarted.

[0097] By executing the above steps, when the circulation pump 430 is started after the washing water inlet is completed, first determine whether there is trapped air in the circulation pump 430 according to the actual flow of the first water inlet 420. After determining that there is trapped air in the circulation pump 430, determine the shutdown water inlet time of the circulation pump 430 according to the water level in the washing tub 410 and control the circulation pump 430 to enter the shutdown water inlet state, so that the pump cavity of the circulation pump 430 is filled with water to discharge the trapped air, and then start the circulation pump 430 to ensure that the water can be pumped to the target head by the circulation pump 430, ensuring that the circulation pump 430 can pump the water in the washing tub 410 to the first water inlet 420.

[0098] In some embodiments, a spray device is disposed at the first water inlet 420 , and the spray device is used to spray the water at the first water inlet 420 into the washing tub 410 .

[0099] A person skilled in the art will appreciate that all or part of the steps in any of the methods in the above embodiments may be completed by a computer program, or by controlling related hardware through a computer program. The computer program may be stored in a computer-readable storage medium and loaded and executed by the processor 601.

[0101] After the washing equipment has finished washing water, the circulation pump 430 is started to supply water to the first water inlet 420 to determine whether the actual flow rate of the first water inlet 420 is less than the target flow rate;

[0102] After determining that the actual flow rate is less than the target flow rate, the shutdown water inlet time of the circulation pump 430 is determined according to the water level in the washing tub 410, and the circulation pump 430 is controlled to enter a standby state until the shutdown water inlet time;

[0103] After the circulation pump 430 is stopped and the water intake is completed, the circulation pump 430 is restarted.

[0104] By executing the above steps, when the circulation pump 430 is started after the washing water inlet is completed, first determine whether there is trapped air in the circulation pump 430 according to the actual flow of the first water inlet 420. After determining that there is trapped air in the circulation pump 430, determine the shutdown water inlet time of the circulation pump 430 according to the water level in the washing tub 410 and control the circulation pump 430 to enter the shutdown water inlet state, so that the pump cavity of the circulation pump 430 is filled with water to discharge the trapped air, and then start the circulation pump 430 to ensure that the water can be pumped to the target head by the circulation pump 430, ensuring that the circulation pump 430 can pump the water in the washing tub 410 to the first water inlet 420.
