Among them, stains that are easy to clean will reduce the washing time accordingly, and stains that are not easy to clean will increase the washing time accordingly.

[0065] Although in the present embodiment, the stain type of the clothes is used as a fine-tuning factor to affect the washing program, this is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, in other embodiments, those skilled in the art may also use the stain type as a main factor to determine the washing program, for example: determining whether to select quick wash, normal wash, sterilization wash or soaking wash, etc.

[0066] Modifying the generated washing scheme according to the degree of dirtiness of the clothes specifically includes: the degree of dirtiness of the clothes affects the amount of detergent added, the washing intensity and the washing time.

[0067] After the basic input amount of detergent is determined, it can be adjusted according to the degree of dirtiness of the clothes. The basic input amount of detergent can be determined according to the weight of the clothes or the basic washing program. Then the input amount is adjusted according to the degree of dirtiness of the clothes. Specifically, it is increased or decreased on the original basis, but the reduction does not exceed the first preset value, and the increase cannot exceed the second preset value. The first preset value is preferably 20% in this embodiment, and it can also be 25%, 15% or 10% in other embodiments.

Among them, the washing time of clothes with a lower degree of dirtiness will be reduced accordingly, and the washing time of clothes with a higher degree of dirtiness will be increased accordingly.

[0070] Although in the present embodiment, the degree of dirtiness of the clothes is used as a fine-tuning factor to affect the washing program, this is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, in other embodiments, those skilled in the art may also use the degree of dirtiness as the main factor to determine the washing program, for example: determining whether to select quick wash, normal wash, sterilization wash or soaking wash, etc.

[0071] The water quality is involved in the determination of the washing scheme. Specifically, the hardness of the water will affect the washing scheme. When the hardness of the water is high, the washing effect will be worse, which will mainly affect the decontamination ability of the detergent. Therefore, if the hardness of the water is high, the water needs to be softened, and then the detergent is added for washing after softening. The water quality is involved in the determination of the washing scheme. Specifically, it is selected whether to add detergent after softening according to the hardness of the water. It specifically includes: if the hardness of the water exceeds the first preset hardness, the detergent is added after softening; specifically, a water softener can be set at the water inlet end of the washing machine, and the water is softened by the water softener; wherein the specific principle of the water softener is basically the same as the structure and distance of the water softener in the dishwasher, and the structure and distance of the water softener are not repeated in the present invention. Of course, in other embodiments, the washing water can also be softened by heating, specifically heated to the fifth preset temperature to soften the water. If the hardness of the water does not exceed the first preset hardness, there is no need to add detergent after softening. This judgment specifically occurs in the determination of the washing program of the washing plan, wherein the hardness of the water can be obtained based on household appliances that can test the hardness of the smart home system, or based on local data.

[0072] The temperature specifically includes indoor temperature and outdoor temperature, wherein the indoor temperature affects the moisture content of the clothes after dehydration, and the outdoor temperature affects the selection of the washing program and also affects the moisture content of the clothes after dehydration.

[0073] Determine whether to select the quick wash program based on the outdoor temperature in the area, which specifically includes: if the outdoor temperature exceeds the first preset temperature, select the quick wash program. If the outdoor temperature does not exceed the first preset temperature, do not select the quick wash program. The outdoor temperature refers to the average outdoor temperature, and it is the average temperature of the past five days; the first preset temperature is preferably 30°C. If the outdoor temperature exceeds 30°C for five consecutive days, it means that the weather is relatively hot, and the user is wearing summer clothes. Summer clothes are thinner and are worn less often. The stains are generally sweat stains, so they are easier to clean. You can choose the quick wash program to wash the clothes. The outdoor temperature can be obtained according to local weather conditions.

[0074] Humidity includes indoor humidity and outdoor humidity, both of which affect the moisture content of the clothes after dehydration.

[0075] When the humidity is high, you cannot hang clothes to dry. You need to dry the clothes to ensure that users can wear them normally. If you want to hang clothes outdoors, when the outdoor temperature is low, the clothes cannot be dried in a short time, which will also affect the moisture content of the clothes after dehydration. If you want to hang clothes outdoors after washing, control the moisture content of the clothes after dehydration according to the outdoor temperature and outdoor humidity in the area, which includes:

[0076] If the outdoor humidity exceeds the first preset humidity or the outdoor temperature is not lower than the second preset temperature, the clothes are dried after dehydration. The second preset temperature is preferably 2°C in this embodiment, and may also be 0°C in other embodiments; the first preset humidity is preferably 70%, and may also be 65% or 75% in other embodiments.

[0077] If the outdoor humidity does not exceed the first preset humidity and the outdoor temperature is not lower than the second preset temperature, the clothes are not dried after dehydration. The outdoor humidity can be obtained according to the local weather.

[0078] When the humidity is high, you cannot hang clothes to dry. You need to dry the clothes to ensure that users can wear them normally. When the indoor temperature is low, clothes cannot be dried in a short time, which will also affect the moisture content of the clothes after dehydration. If you want to hang clothes indoors after washing, control the moisture content of the clothes after dehydration according to the indoor temperature and indoor humidity of the area, which includes:

[0079] If the indoor humidity exceeds the second preset humidity or the indoor temperature is not lower than the third preset temperature, the clothes are dried after dehydration. The third preset temperature is preferably 8°C in this embodiment, and may be 5°C or 6°C in other embodiments; the second preset humidity is preferably 60%, and may be 65% or 70% in other embodiments. Since the outdoor air circulation rate is relatively high, that is, there is wind outdoors, but there is almost no wind indoors; therefore, the third preset temperature is selected to be higher than the second preset temperature, and the second preset humidity is selected to be higher than the first preset humidity.

[0080] If the indoor humidity does not exceed the second preset humidity and the indoor temperature is not lower than the third preset temperature, drying the clothes is not selected after dehydration.

[0081] Among them, the indoor temperature and indoor humidity can be obtained through smart home appliances, of course, they can also be detected by thermometers and hygrometers, and then manually input by users.

[0082] The user's laundry habits may specifically be the user's laundry habits, specifically the laundry plans in the recent period, which may specifically be the recent week or the recent ten days. It may also be the laundry habits of other local users, specifically the laundry habits in the recent three days.

[0083] The laundry habits in this embodiment are preferably the laundry habits of the user in the recent period. The user's recent laundry habits are used as the basic washing plan; the most frequently used plan in the recent period is specifically selected as the basic washing plan. Then, adjustments are made based on the water quality, temperature, humidity, etc. to form a washing plan.

[0084] Specifically, on the basis of the basic washing program, first determine whether to select the quick wash program according to the outdoor temperature; obtain the adjusted washing program; then adjust according to the water quality, and then adjust the moisture content of the clothes after dehydration according to the temperature and humidity. After that, adjust the washing program according to the type of clothes, the type of stains on the clothes, and the degree of dirtiness of the clothes. Regarding the adjustment of the basic washing program, it should be noted that the type of clothes, the type of stains on the clothes, and the degree of dirtiness of the clothes can be adjusted before the temperature and humidity are adjusted, and there is no requirement for the order in which these three factors are adjusted.

[0085] like Figure 3 As shown, the control method of the washing machine in this embodiment specifically includes the following steps:

[0086] S1. Select the user's recent laundry habits as the basic washing plan.
