[0028] Embodiment 1

[0029] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the first flow chart of the control method of the laundry appliance provided in the embodiment of the present application. The method can be executed by a control device of the laundry appliance or the laundry appliance. The device or the laundry appliance can be implemented by software and / or hardware. The device or the laundry appliance can be integrated in any smart device with network communication function. Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the laundry device may include the following steps:

[0030] S101, receiving two or more basic operation instructions sent by the current user through basic buttons of the laundry device.

[0031] In this step, the laundry device may receive two or more basic operation instructions sent by the current user through the basic buttons of the laundry device. The basic buttons of the laundry device may generally include the following: 1) Power switch: used to turn on or off the power of the laundry device. 2) Start / pause button: used to start or pause the operation of the laundry device. 3) Washing program selection button: used to select different washing programs, such as normal washing, gentle washing, quick washing, etc. 4) Temperature setting button: used to set the water temperature during the washing process, such as cold water washing, warm water washing, hot water washing, etc. 5) Speed ​​adjustment button: used to adjust the speed of the laundry device to spin dry, such as high speed, medium speed, low speed, etc. 6) Water level adjustment button: used to set the water level of the equipment washing machine, such as high water level, medium water level, low water level, etc. 7) Pre-set / delay start button: used to set the preset time or delayed start time of the laundry device. 8) Washing / rinsing / drying button: used to select additional functions of the equipment washing machine, such as washing, rinsing, dehydration, drying, etc. 9) Program switching button: used to switch between different washing programs. 10) Cancel key: used to cancel the current setting or operation.

[0032] S102, determining whether the two or more basic operation instructions meet the preset activation conditions of the combination key corresponding to the current user; if so, executing S103; otherwise, executing S105.

[0033] In this step, the laundry device can determine whether the two or more basic operation instructions meet the pre-set start-up conditions of the combination buttons corresponding to the current user. The current user can pre-set one or more combination buttons. For example, assuming that the laundry device includes 5 basic buttons, the user can combine 3 combination buttons based on the 5 basic buttons, where combination button 1 corresponds to basic button 1 and basic button 2; combination button 2 corresponds to basic button 3 and basic button 4; basic button 3 corresponds to basic button 5 and basic button 1. In addition, the user can also combine more than two basic buttons into one combination button. In this step, if the two or more basic operation instructions meet the start-up conditions of any one combination button corresponding to the current user, it is determined that the two or more basic operation instructions meet the pre-set start-up conditions of the combination button corresponding to the current user.

[0034] S103: Generate a combination key operation instruction based on the two or more basic operation instructions.

[0035] In a specific embodiment of the present application, if two or more basic operation instructions sent by the current user meet the start-up conditions of the combination button corresponding to the current user, the laundry device can generate an operation instruction for the combination button based on the two or more basic operation instructions. For example, combination button 1 corresponds to basic button 1 and basic button 2. When the user sends basic operation instructions 1 and basic operation instructions 2 through basic button 1 and basic button 2, the laundry device can generate an operation instruction for combination button 1 corresponding to basic operation instructions 1 and basic operation instructions 2.

[0036] S104: Control the laundry device based on the operation instructions of the combination keys.

[0037] The combination buttons in the embodiments of the present application may at least include: child lock and mute. The child lock function of the laundry appliance is a safety protection measure, which is used to prevent children from accidental injuries or misoperation when using the laundry appliance. When the child lock function is activated, the buttons on the control panel of the laundry appliance will be locked, and children cannot start or stop the operation of the laundry appliance. When the child lock function is in effect, the user can still select the washing mode, temperature and other setting options, but cannot start or stop the operation of the machine. Only by releasing the child lock function can the user resume normal operation of the machine.

[0038] The mute function of laundry equipment is designed to reduce the noise generated by the operation of the laundry equipment. These functions rely on a series of technical and design improvements to reduce the noise level and make the laundry equipment quieter during operation. The mute function can be implemented in the following ways: 1) Sound insulation design: The outer shell and internal structure of the laundry equipment are made of sound insulation materials to reduce the transmission of noise. 2) Vibration reduction technology: By adopting a shock-absorbing suspension system or shock-absorbing pads, the vibration and derived noise of the laundry equipment can be effectively reduced. 3) Level correction: The laundry equipment can automatically detect the balance of the distribution of clothes and adjust parameters such as speed, steering or water level to maintain balance, effectively reducing the noise generation. 4) Machine intelligence: Some laundry equipment is equipped with smart sensors that can automatically adjust the operation mode of the laundry equipment to reduce the noise level. 5) Electrical control noise reduction: The control circuit of the laundry equipment adopts electrical noise filtering technology to reduce the generation of current noise. The mute function can provide users with a better user experience, especially in a home environment, reducing interference with the surrounding environment.

[0039] S105: Prompt the user to resend two or more basic operation instructions through the basic buttons of the laundry device.

[0040] In a specific embodiment of the present application, if two or more basic operation instructions sent by the current user do not meet the activation conditions of the combination button corresponding to the current user, the laundry device can prompt the user to resend two or more basic operation instructions through the basic buttons of the laundry device. In addition, the laundry device can also count the number of basic operation instructions sent by the current user in the current period. If the number of basic operation instructions sent by the current user in the current period is greater than a predetermined number, the laundry device can temporarily turn off the basic buttons, thereby extending the life of the laundry device.

[0041] The control method of the laundry device proposed in the embodiment of the present application first receives two or more basic operation instructions sent by the current user through the basic buttons of the laundry device; then determines whether the two or more basic operation instructions meet the pre-set start-up conditions of the combination buttons corresponding to the current user; if the two or more basic operation instructions meet the start-up conditions of the combination buttons, the operation instructions of the combination buttons are generated based on the two or more basic operation instructions; and then the laundry device is controlled based on the operation instructions of the combination buttons. That is to say, in the technical solution of the present application, the user can freely combine the basic buttons into combination buttons according to his or her own usage habits, and the unused users can use different combination methods, which is more convenient for users to use. In the prior art, for combination buttons such as child lock and mute, the user needs to read the instructions to know the specific buttons to be operated. These buttons are often not adjacent and inconvenient to operate. For buttons with low sensitivity, the combination buttons often need to be tried back and forth many times before they can be entered. Complex and repeated operations often cause complaints from users. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the control method of the laundry equipment proposed in the embodiment of the present application allows the user to freely set the combination buttons, thereby meeting the usage needs of different users and bringing the user a more comfortable usage experience; and the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is simple and convenient to implement, easy to popularize, and has a wider range of applications.

[0042] Embodiment 2

[0043] Figure 2 The second flow chart of the control method of the laundry appliance provided in the embodiment of the present application is further optimized and expanded based on the above technical solution, and can be combined with the above various optional implementation modes.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the control method of the laundry device may include the following steps:

[0045] S201, receiving two or more basic operation instructions sent by the current user through basic buttons of the laundry device.

[0046] S202, determine whether the two or more basic operation instructions meet the time condition; if so, execute S203; otherwise, execute S206.

[0047] In this step, the laundry device can determine whether the two or more basic operation instructions meet the time condition. Specifically, if the two or more basic operation instructions are received at the same time point, the laundry device can determine that the two or more basic operation instructions meet the time condition; or, if the two or more basic operation instructions are received within a predetermined time period, the laundry device can determine that the two or more basic operation instructions meet the time condition; wherein the predetermined time period includes two or more receiving time points; one or more basic operation instructions are received at one receiving time point.

[0048] S203, determine whether the two or more basic operation instructions meet the combination condition; if so, execute S204; otherwise, execute S206.

[0049] In this step, the laundry device can determine whether the two or more basic operation instructions meet the combination condition. Specifically, if the two or more basic operation instructions are all instructions in the instruction set corresponding to the combination key, the laundry device can determine that the two or more basic operation instructions meet the combination condition. Further, the laundry device can also determine whether the order in which the two or more basic operation instructions are received is consistent with the order of instructions in the instruction set corresponding to the preset combination key; if the order in which the two or more basic operation instructions are received is consistent with the order of instructions in the instruction set corresponding to the combination key, the laundry device can determine that the two or more basic operation instructions meet the combination condition.

[0050] S204: Generate an operation instruction for a combination key based on the two or more basic operation instructions.

[0051] S205: Control the laundry device based on the operation instructions of the combination keys.

[0052] S206: Prompt the user to resend two or more basic operation instructions through the basic buttons of the laundry device.

[0053] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the user operation interface provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 3As shown, the user operation interface may include the following three types: program switch buttons, clothing washing buttons and parameter setting buttons; wherein, the program switch buttons may include: start program and power switch; clothing washing buttons may include: washing, rinsing, water level, dehydration and program; parameter setting buttons may include: soaking time, overflow times, reservation time, remaining time, etc.; wherein, by pressing the wash button, different washing times can be selected; by pressing the rinse button, the corresponding number of rinses can be selected; by pressing the water level button, the appropriate water level can be selected; by pressing the dehydration button, the corresponding dehydration time can be selected; by pressing the program button, the appropriate program can be selected.

[0054] The control method of the laundry device proposed in the embodiment of the present application first receives two or more basic operation instructions sent by the current user through the basic buttons of the laundry device; then determines whether the two or more basic operation instructions meet the pre-set start-up conditions of the combination buttons corresponding to the current user; if the two or more basic operation instructions meet the start-up conditions of the combination buttons, the operation instructions of the combination buttons are generated based on the two or more basic operation instructions; and then the laundry device is controlled based on the operation instructions of the combination buttons. That is to say, in the technical solution of the present application, the user can freely combine the basic buttons into combination buttons according to his or her own usage habits, and the unused users can use different combination methods, which is more convenient for users to use. In the prior art, for combination buttons such as child lock and mute, the user needs to read the instructions to know the specific buttons to be operated. These buttons are often not adjacent and inconvenient to operate. For buttons with low sensitivity, the combination buttons often need to be tried back and forth many times before they can be entered. Complex and repeated operations often cause complaints from users. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the control method of the laundry equipment proposed in the embodiment of the present application allows the user to freely set the combination buttons, thereby meeting the usage needs of different users and bringing the user a more comfortable usage experience; and the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is simple and convenient to implement, easy to popularize, and has a wider range of applications.

[0055] Embodiment 3

[0056] Figure 4 The third flow chart of the control method of the laundry appliance provided in the embodiment of the present application is further optimized and expanded based on the above technical solution, and can be combined with the above various optional implementation modes.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, the control method of the laundry device may include the following steps:

[0058] S401: Acquire the location of the laundry device, the physical characteristics of the current user, and the characteristics of the environment in which the current user is located.

[0059] In this step, the laundry device can obtain the location of the laundry device, the physical characteristics of the current user, and the characteristics of the environment in which the current user is located; wherein the physical characteristics of the current user may include: the dryness of the fingers of the current user, and the capacitance value of the body of the current user. In addition, the user's physical characteristics that affect the keystrokes may also include: 1) Finger flexibility: The user's finger flexibility will directly affect the accuracy and speed of the keystrokes. Soft and flexible fingers can press keys faster and select target keys more accurately. 2) Palm size and shape: The size and shape of the user's palm will affect the selection and positioning of keys on the keyboard. Palms of different sizes and shapes may require different key layouts and sizes to better adapt to the user's hand characteristics. 3) Hand coordination: The user's hand-eye coordination ability generally affects the speed and accuracy of the keystrokes. Good hand coordination allows the user to find and press the target key faster, improving the efficiency of the keystrokes. 4) Reaction speed: The user's reaction speed will also affect the keystrokes. A faster reaction speed means that the speed and accuracy of the keystrokes may be higher. 5) Strength and pressure control: The user can adjust the strength and pressure of the finger to apply different forces according to the keystroke requirements. This strength and pressure control is necessary for pressing different types of keys. In short, the user's finger flexibility, palm size and shape, hand coordination, reaction speed, and strength and pressure control will all have an impact on the key. Understanding and adapting to the user's physical characteristics can design keys that are more in line with the user's usage habits and needs.

[0060] Characteristics of the current user's environment may include: temperature and humidity. In addition, characteristics of the user's environment that affect keystrokes may also include: 1) Sound environment characteristics: The noise level, background music or other sound interference in the user's environment may affect the recognition and response speed of the keys. 2) Lighting environment characteristics: The lighting conditions in the environment, such as bright, dim or flashing lights, may make it difficult for the user to see the keys on the keyboard, thereby affecting the accuracy and speed of the keys. 3) Physical environment characteristics: The user's physical environment, such as the height of the workbench, the layout and type of the keyboard, may also affect the force and touch generated by the keys.

[0061] S402. Adjust the capacitance threshold corresponding to one or more basic buttons according to the position of the laundry device, the physical characteristics of the current user, and the characteristics of the environment in which the current user is located, so that the current user sends two or more basic operation instructions to the laundry device based on the adjusted capacitance threshold corresponding to the one or more basic buttons.

[0062] In this step, the laundry device can adjust the capacitance threshold corresponding to one or more basic buttons according to the position of the laundry device, the physical characteristics of the current user, and the characteristics of the environment in which the current user is located, so that the current user sends two or more basic operation instructions to the laundry device based on the adjusted capacitance threshold corresponding to the one or more basic buttons. The present application can improve the sensitivity of the button by adjusting the capacitance threshold of the button. Specifically, the capacitance value of the button can be adjusted by the following methods: 1) Replace the capacitor: A capacitor with different capacitance values ​​can be selected to replace the existing capacitor. Generally speaking, a larger capacitance value makes the touch of the button more sensitive. 2) Connect capacitors in parallel or in series: The total capacitance value can be adjusted by connecting two or more capacitors in parallel or in series. The capacitance value of a series capacitor is their sum, while the capacitance value of a parallel capacitor is the sum of their reciprocals. 3) Adjust the position of the capacitor: Changing the position of the capacitor can affect the capacitance value of the button. If the capacitor is close to the button, the capacitance value will be larger; if the capacitor is far away from the button, the capacitance value will be smaller. 4) Use an adjustable capacitor: The adjustable capacitor can obtain different button capacitance values ​​by adjusting the capacitance value of the variable capacitor.

[0063] S403: receiving two or more basic operation instructions sent by the current user through the basic buttons of the laundry device.

[0064] S404, determining whether the two or more basic operation instructions meet the preset activation conditions of the combination key corresponding to the current user; if so, executing S405; otherwise, executing S407.

[0065] S405: Generate a combination key operation instruction based on the two or more basic operation instructions.

[0066] S406: Control the laundry device based on the operation instructions of the combination keys.

[0067] S407: Prompt the user to resend two or more basic operation instructions through the basic buttons of the laundry device.

[0068] The control method of the laundry device proposed in the embodiment of the present application first receives two or more basic operation instructions sent by the current user through the basic buttons of the laundry device; then determines whether the two or more basic operation instructions meet the pre-set start-up conditions of the combination buttons corresponding to the current user; if the two or more basic operation instructions meet the start-up conditions of the combination buttons, the operation instructions of the combination buttons are generated based on the two or more basic operation instructions; and then the laundry device is controlled based on the operation instructions of the combination buttons.
