[0060] In daily life, washing machines have become an indispensable part of people's lives. While bringing convenience to washing clothes, there are also some hidden dangers that may damage clothes. The hidden dangers mainly include the following situations:
[0061] 1. Washing machines on the market today include a variety of washing modes. For most types of clothing, washing machines have corresponding washing methods, but there are very few types of clothing that do not have specific washing modes. If you randomly choose a washing mode to wash, it may damage the clothing;
[0062] 2. Some users do not pay attention to the selection of washing modes when washing clothes. Even for different types of clothes, they only choose the washing modes they are used to in daily life, and fail to achieve a one-to-one correspondence between clothing types and washing modes.
[0063] 3. Most users usually mix different types of clothes together for washing, and do not distinguish them by type and then choose a washing mode for washing. Although the washing mode contains a mixed mode, it may not be able to protect the clothes from damage to the greatest extent for a variety of mixed clothes.
[0064] That is to say, during the operation of the washing machine, there are different washing modes for users to choose from even for different types of clothes. But in reality, when washing clothes, users sometimes do not choose the correct washing mode according to the type of clothes. And even if the washing mode is selected correctly, sometimes different clothes are mixed together for washing, and the correct matching of the washing method cannot be achieved, resulting in the clothes being damaged after washing. The lint generated after the clothes are damaged will also accumulate in the washing machine and be difficult to clean. In other words, the problems that need to be solved can be summarized as follows:
[0065] 1. During the washing process, it is impossible to detect the damage of clothes at the first time, and there is a lack of fast and effective detection methods.
[0066] 2. When clothes are damaged during the washing process, the washing machine lacks an effective adjustment method to prevent further damage to the clothes.
[0067] 3. There is a lack of an effective way to clean the lint produced by damaged clothes. Long-term washing operation will accumulate a large amount of lint, causing internal contamination of the washing machine.
[0068] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is based on the core technical concept of real-time monitoring of the speed of lint generation during washing by a weighing device, and improves the washing machine control method in the related art. The present invention will be described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings as follows:
[0069] Reference Figure 1 , shows a flowchart of a washing machine control method provided by some embodiments of the present invention, wherein the washing machine is provided with a weighing device, and the weighing device is provided at the bottom of the washing machine filter device, and specifically may include the following steps:
[0070] Step 101, in response to a clothing inserting operation, determining weight information of the clothing, and determining a first lint generation speed threshold corresponding to the clothing according to the weight information;
[0071] In a specific implementation, the clothes can be weighed after being placed in the washing tub, and after the weight of the clothes is determined, the upper limit threshold value V1 of the lint generation speed (i.e., the first lint generation speed threshold value) can be determined according to a pre-set corresponding table of upper limit threshold values of the lint generation speed for clothes of different masses.
[0072] Specifically, for the two situations where paper towels are mixed in the clothes and no paper towels are mixed in, multiple rounds of training can be performed to obtain the average weight change rate of lint under the influence of paper towels, and set this average weight change rate as the upper limit threshold V1 of the lint generation speed. Since the training results are also affected by the amount of paper towels and clothes, the above training premise can be set as: the mass of paper towels in the barrel / the mass of clothes in the barrel = 1 / N; where N is a proportional factor, which can be set according to experimental conditions. Clothes of different masses correspond to different upper limit thresholds V1 of the lint generation speed.
[0073] Furthermore, we can assume that W is the weight of laundry (unit: kg) and L is the weight of lint (unit: mg), which can be simplified into a linear relationship model:
[0074] L=aW+b
[0075] Among them, a is the linear coefficient, which indicates the increment of lint generation for every 1 kg increase in laundry weight; b is the constant term, which indicates that even without clothes, a small amount of lint may be generated. It can be concluded that there is a linear relationship between the upper limit of lint generation speed V1 and the weight of clothes M, and a corresponding table of upper limit thresholds of lint generation speed for clothes of different weights can be given as a reference;
[0076] For example, the following table 1 shows an example table of corresponding upper thresholds of the speed of generating lint for clothes of different qualities:
[0077] Table 1: Example table of corresponding upper thresholds of the speed of lint generation for clothes of different qualities
[0078]
[0079] It can be seen from Table 1 that the speed of lint generation during washing will be affected by the weight of the clothes in the washing tub. Under the same conditions, the higher the weight of the clothes, the more lint is generated per unit time, so the upper limit threshold of the lint generation speed is also set larger.
[0080] Step 102, when the washing machine has completed the water filling operation and the running speed of the washing machine is a preset speed, the second lint generation speed threshold corresponding to the clothes is determined by the weighing device; wherein the second lint generation speed threshold is less than the first lint generation speed threshold;
[0081] In practical applications, after the washing machine is filled with water, it can be controlled to run at a low speed v (preset speed) first, and the weight is collected once a minute through a weighing device, so as to obtain the weight change speed when no wire dust is generated, that is, the lower limit of the wire dust generation speed V0 (the second wire dust generation speed threshold);
[0082] Specifically, after the washing machine is filled with water, it is operated at a low speed v, that is, when it is in a washing state with a relatively low speed, the clothes generally do not produce lint. At this time, the lint generation speed in the state of no lint or little lint can be set as the lower limit threshold value V0 of the lint generation speed according to the weight change caused by impurities in the water; and in the washing process, if the mass change rate at the weighing device is less than V0, it can be proved that the washing method at this time produces very little or even no lint on the clothes, which can protect the integrity of the clothes to the greatest extent.
[0083] Step 103, in response to the determination result of the second lint generation speed threshold, controlling the washing machine to enter a washing process, and determining the lint generation speed corresponding to the clothes by the weighing device;
[0084] In a specific implementation, after determining the second lint generation speed threshold, the washing machine can be controlled to enter the formal washing process, and the weighing device can continue to collect weight once a minute to obtain the real-time weight change speed V (lint generation speed).
[0085] Step 104, when the lint generation speed is greater than the second lint generation speed threshold and the lint generation speed is less than the first lint generation speed threshold, adjusting the washing parameters of the washing machine.
[0086] In actual applications, if the lint generation speed V is less than or equal to V0, it means that the lint generation speed is low or no lint is generated. At this time, the clothing damage speed is low, and there is almost no damage, which can protect the integrity of the clothing to the greatest extent, so the normal washing process can continue; if the lint generation speed V is higher than V0 and less than V1, it means that lint is generated. According to the washing method at this time, the clothing will be damaged during the washing process; the washing parameters of the washing machine can be adjusted. During the adjustment, the real-time lint generation speed V can be continuously compared with V0 until V is less than or equal to V0, and the current washing parameters can be regarded as the optimal washing parameters; if the lint generation speed V is greater than V1, it means that the washing process is abnormal. The abnormal situation includes but is not limited to the influence of paper towels, the deviation between the washing mode and the clothing type is too large (for example: the wool sweater uses the strong washing mode) resulting in clothing damage, etc. At this time, the washing can be stopped and the user can be reminded of the washing abnormality.
[0087] Step 105, executing again the step of determining the lint generation speed corresponding to the clothing by the weighing device, and determining whether the lint generation speed is less than the second lint generation speed threshold;
[0088] In practical applications, such as Figure 2As shown, after adjusting the washing parameters, the washing machine can be controlled to run for a period of time (such as t minutes, and the t value can be set according to actual needs), and the lint generation speed V during this period can be obtained in real time through the weighing device again; then the lint generation speed V obtained last during this period can be compared with V0. If the lint generation speed V drops below V0, it can be considered that the current washing method will not cause any more damage to the washed clothes, that is, the washing machine can be controlled to run according to the adjusted washing parameters.
[0089] Furthermore, if the lint generation speed V does not drop below V0, it can be considered that the current washing method will still cause damage to the washed clothes. At this time, it can be determined whether the current adjustment times are greater than or equal to the maximum adjustment times N. If the maximum adjustment times N is not reached, the washing parameters can continue to be adjusted. If the lint generation speed V drops below V0 after adjusting the washing parameters, it can be considered that the current washing method will no longer cause damage to the washed clothes, that is, the washing machine can be controlled to operate according to the adjusted washing parameters; if the maximum adjustment times N has been reached, it is considered that the number of adjustments to the washing parameters has reached the upper limit, the washing process can be ended directly, and the user is reminded that the current washing method will cause damage to the clothes.
[0090] Specifically, Figure 2 The washing parameter adjustment process shown can be summarized as follows:
[0091] S201 enters the washing parameter adjustment process, the adjustment parameters include washing water level, motor speed, motor direction, rotation and stop time, etc.;
[0092] S202: After adjusting the washing parameters, the washing machine needs to run for a period of time and obtain the lint generation speed V during this period in real time;
[0093] S203 compares the last obtained lint generation speed V with V0. If the lint generation speed V drops below V0, it is considered that the current washing method will not cause damage to the washed clothes, and the process proceeds to S206 to operate according to the adjusted washing parameters; if the lint generation speed V does not drop below V0, it is considered that the current washing method will still cause damage to the washed clothes, and the process proceeds to S204;
[0094] S204 determines whether the current washing parameter adjustment number is greater than the maximum adjustment number N, if the maximum adjustment number N is not reached, it returns to S201, continue to adjust the washing parameters; if the maximum adjustment number N is reached, then proceeds to S205;
[0095] S205 When the number of times of adjusting the washing parameters reaches the upper limit, the washing process is terminated directly, and the user is reminded that the current washing method will cause damage to the clothes;
[0096] S206 When the thread debris generation speed V is less than V0, the clothing damage speed is low, which means that the current washing method will not cause significant damage to the clothing, and the washing machine continues to be controlled to operate according to the current washing parameters.
[0097] Step 106: When the lint generation speed is less than the second lint generation speed threshold, control the washing machine to operate according to the adjusted washing parameters.
[0098] In practical applications, as mentioned above, after adjusting the washing parameters, the washing machine can be controlled to run for a period of time (such as t minutes, and the t value can be set according to actual needs), and the lint generation speed V during this period can be obtained in real time through the weighing device again; then the lint generation speed V obtained last during this period can be compared with V0. If the lint generation speed V drops below V0, it can be considered that the current washing method will no longer cause damage to the washed clothes, that is, the washing machine can be controlled to operate according to the adjusted washing parameters.
[0099] In some embodiments of the present invention, the method further comprises:
[0100] When the lint generation speed is greater than or equal to the first lint generation speed threshold, an alarm is issued to the user.
[0101] In a specific implementation, as mentioned above, if the lint generation speed V is higher than V0 and less than V1, it means that lint is generated. According to the washing method at this time, the clothes will be damaged during the washing process; the washing parameters of the washing machine can be adjusted. During the adjustment, the real-time lint generation speed V can be continuously compared with V0 until V is less than or equal to V0, and the current washing parameters can be regarded as the optimal washing parameters; if the lint generation speed V is greater than V1, it means that the washing process is abnormal. The abnormal situation includes but is not limited to the influence of paper towels, the deviation between the washing mode and the type of clothing is too large (for example: the wool sweater uses the strong washing mode) resulting in clothing damage, etc. At this time, the washing can be stopped and the user can be reminded of the washing abnormality.
[0102] In some embodiments of the present invention, the method further comprises:
[0103] When the lint generation speed is less than or equal to the second lint generation speed threshold, the washing machine is controlled to complete the washing process according to the current washing parameters.
[0104] In the specific implementation, as mentioned above, if the lint generation speed V is less than or equal to V0, it means that the lint generation speed is small or no lint is generated. At this time, the clothing is damaged at a low speed and there is almost no damage. The integrity of the clothing can be protected to the greatest extent. Therefore, the normal washing process can continue according to the current washing parameters.
[0105] In some embodiments of the present invention, the step of adjusting washing parameters of the washing machine includes:
[0106] One or more of the washing water level parameter, the motor speed parameter, the motor direction parameter and the rotation and stop time parameter of the washing machine are adjusted.
[0107] In actual applications, when adjusting the washing parameters of a washing machine, one or more of the washing water level parameters, motor speed parameters, motor direction parameters and rotation and stop time parameters of the washing machine can be adjusted; for example, the speed of lint generation can be reduced by lowering the motor speed, increasing the rotation and stop time, increasing the washing water level, etc.
[0108] In an example, the parameters before and after adjustment can be referred to as follows:
[0109] Before adjustment: Motor speed: 50 rpm; Water level: 2nd gear; Turn-on / off time: 10s turn-on, 5s stop;
[0110] After adjustment: motor speed: 45 rpm; water level: 3rd gear; start-stop time: 10s on and 6s off.
[0111] It should be emphasized that this example is only used to demonstrate feasible adjustment logic, and specific adjustment measures can be set according to actual washing conditions.
[0112] In some embodiments of the present invention, the method further comprises:
[0113] When the lint generation speed is greater than or equal to the second lint generation speed threshold, determining whether the number of times the washing parameter of the washing machine is adjusted is greater than a preset adjustment number threshold;
[0114] When the number of times the washing parameters of the washing machine are adjusted is less than the preset adjustment number threshold, the step of adjusting the washing parameters of the washing machine is performed again.
[0115] In the specific implementation, as mentioned above, if the lint generation speed V does not drop below V0, it can be considered that the current washing method will still cause damage to the washed clothes. At this time, it can be determined whether the current washing parameter adjustment times are greater than or equal to the maximum adjustment times N (preset adjustment times threshold). If the maximum adjustment times N is not reached, the washing parameters can continue to be adjusted. If the lint generation speed V drops below V0 after adjusting the washing parameters, it can be considered that the current washing method will no longer cause damage to the washed clothes, that is, the washing machine can be controlled to operate according to the adjusted washing parameters.
[0116] In some embodiments of the present invention, the method further comprises:
[0117] When the number of times the washing parameters of the washing machine are adjusted is greater than or equal to the preset adjustment number threshold, the washing machine is controlled to end the washing process and an alarm is issued to remind the user.
[0118] In actual application, as mentioned above, if the washing parameter adjustment times have reached the maximum adjustment times N, it is considered that the washing parameter adjustment times have reached the upper limit, and the washing process can be ended directly, and the user is reminded that the current washing method will cause damage to the clothes.
[0119] In some embodiments of the present invention, the method further comprises:
[0120] In response to the start-up operation of the drainage function of the washing machine, the washing machine is controlled to perform a flushing process on the weighing device.
[0121] In the specific implementation, Figure 3 The figure shows a side view of a washing machine drum provided by some embodiments of the present invention, wherein: 1 is a weighing device; 2 is a filter screen surface; 3 is a rotating chassis; 4 is a water guide channel; 5 is a water flow direction; 6 is a first water inlet flow; 7 is a second water inlet flow; 8 is a sewage discharge channel; 9 is a motor; and 10 is a sewage discharge direction. By adding a weighing device 1 and a water guide channel 4 to the filter screen box of the washing machine, the water flow can flow into the filter screen box according to the water flow direction 5 during the washing process, and is divided into two water flows through the water guide channel 4, wherein the second water inlet flow will filter impurities through the filter screen surface. The first water inlet flow will pass through the water guide channel, and the outlet of the water guide channel can be set to be narrow, thereby accelerating the flow rate of the first water inlet flow to flush the filter screen surface and flush the impurities and wire scraps remaining on the filter screen surface to the weighing device 1, and the weighing device 1 can then be weighed, and the weight data can be uploaded every minute to calculate the speed of wire scrap generation. The motor shaft of the motor 9 can be connected to the bottom of the weighing device 1, so that the weighing device 1 can be flipped 90°, connecting the filter box and the drain channel 8. The drain channel 8 can be connected to the drain pipe, so that the wire scraps can enter the drain pipe through the drain channel 8 and be discharged from the washing machine along the drain direction 10.
[0122] On this basis, when the washing machine enters the drainage stage, the motor shaft of the motor 9 can be controlled to rotate 90° clockwise, connecting the filter box and the drainage channel 8, so that the first water inlet flow and the second water inlet flow respectively rinse the wire scraps on the filter mesh surface 2 and the weighing device 1, and the wire scraps enter the drain pipe through the drainage channel 8 and are discharged from the washing machine. After flushing T0 (preset flushing time, which can be set according to actual needs) minutes, the motor 9 can control the motor shaft to rotate 90° counterclockwise, close the filter box and the drainage channel 8, and end the cleaning process.
[0123] The following will be combined Figure 4 The embodiments of the present invention are further described as follows:
[0124] Reference Figure 4 The overall execution process of the washing machine control method provided by the present invention can be summarized as follows:
[0125] S400, after the clothes are placed in the washing tub, the clothes are weighed, and after the weight of the clothes is determined, the upper limit threshold value V1 of the line scrap generation speed is determined according to the corresponding table of upper limit threshold values of line scrap generation speed of clothes with different weights;
[0126] S401, after the washing machine is filled with water, it first runs at a low speed v, and the weighing device collects the weight once a minute, so as to obtain the weight change speed when no wire lint is generated, that is, the lower limit of the wire lint generation speed V0;
[0127] S402, entering the formal washing process, the weighing device continues to collect weight once a minute to obtain the real-time weight change speed V;
[0128] S403, comparing the real-time weight change speed V with the upper and lower limits V1 and V0 of the wire scrap generation speed;
[0129] S404, if V is less than or equal to V0, it means that the speed of generating thread scraps is low or no thread scraps are generated, and the speed of damaging clothes is low, and there is almost no damage, so the integrity of clothes can be protected to the greatest extent;
[0130] S405, if V is greater than V0 and less than V1, it means that thread scraps are generated, and the clothes will be damaged during the washing process according to the current washing method;
[0131] S406, if V is greater than or equal to V1, it means that the weight change speed currently obtained in real time is relatively large, and there is an abnormality in the laundry, including but not limited to the mixing of paper towels, and a large deviation in the washing mode (for example, a strong washing mode is selected for a wool sweater), etc.;
[0132] S407, under the condition of S404, the washing machine continues washing normally;
[0133] S408, under the condition of S405, the washing machine needs to adjust the washing parameters;
[0134] S409, under the condition of S406, the washing machine needs to alarm to remind the user that the washing status is abnormal;
[0135] S410 When the washing machine enters the drainage stage, the motor shaft of the motor is controlled to rotate 90° clockwise, connecting the filter box and the drainage channel, so that the first water flow and the second water flow respectively wash the wire scraps on the filter mesh and the weighing device, and the wire scraps enter the drain pipe through the drainage channel and are discharged from the washing machine. After T0 minutes of rinsing, the motor can control the motor shaft to rotate 90° counterclockwise, close the filter box and the drainage channel, and end the cleaning process;
[0136] S411 The washing machine continues to run until the washing is finished.
[0137] The present invention provides a method for controlling a washing machine, wherein the washing machine is provided with a weighing device and the weighing device is provided at the bottom of a filter device of the washing machine; the weight information of the clothes is determined in response to the operation of putting the clothes in, and the first thread scrap generation speed threshold corresponding to the clothes is determined according to the weight information; then, when the washing machine has completed the water inlet operation and the running speed of the washing machine is a preset speed, the second thread scrap generation speed threshold corresponding to the clothes is determined by the weighing device; thus, the washing machine is controlled to enter a washing process in response to the determination result of the second thread scrap generation speed threshold, and the thread scrap generation speed corresponding to the clothes is determined by the weighing device; and then the washing machine is controlled according to the thread scrap generation speed, the first thread scrap generation speed threshold and the second thread scrap generation speed threshold. The method realizes real-time monitoring of the thread scrap generation speed during the washing process by the weighing device, and can further control the washing machine accordingly according to the thread scrap generation speed, thereby avoiding the washing machine from running in an incorrect washing state, improving the user's washing experience, and ensuring the integrity of the clothes during the washing process.
[0138] In general, the present invention sets a weighing unit at the bottom of the filter, adds two flow channels for flushing the filter, flushes the filter surface of the filter, and makes the lint accumulate on the weighing unit, obtains the accurate weight change of the lint, determines the damage speed of the clothes according to the lint generation speed V, and can detect the damage of the clothes in real time during the washing process. The operation mode of the washing machine can be adjusted in real time according to the lint generation speed V until the best washing mode is reached. The adjustment parameters include washing water level, motor speed, motor direction, stop time, etc. After adjustment, the lint generation speed V needs to be lower than the set threshold value V0 before the adjustment can be stopped to obtain the best washing mode. Under the best washing mode, the speed of clothing damage can be reduced to the minimum, which can ensure the integrity of the clothing to the greatest extent. The lower limit threshold value V0 and the upper limit threshold value V1 of the lint generation speed are also set to eliminate the uncertain foreign factors in the washing process, so that the detection result is more accurate. In addition, since the lint generated by the damage of the clothes is accumulated on the weighing device, the weighing device is connected to the motor and can rotate 90° clockwise and 90° counterclockwise. During the drainage stage, the motor rotates 90° clockwise, connecting the filter box and the sewage channel. The incoming water flow flushes the lint on the filter and the weighing device, so that the lint is discharged through the sewage channel. The lint can be cleaned in time to avoid internal contamination of the washing machine.
