Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them.

Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the above features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0089] In this application, the word "exemplary" is used to mean "serving as an example, illustration, or illustration." Any embodiment described in this application as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as being preferred or advantageous over other embodiments. The following description is given to enable any person skilled in the art to implement and use the invention. In the following description, details are listed for the purpose of explanation. It should be understood that a person of ordinary skill in the art can recognize that the invention can be implemented without using these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes are not elaborated in detail to avoid obscuring the description of the invention with unnecessary details. Therefore, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0090] First, the terms involved in this application are explained:

[0091] Water level frequency: used to indicate the water level obtained by the water level sensor. For example, the water level is obtained by a frequency water level sensor. The frequency water level sensor contains a vibration circuit composed of an inductor and two capacitor cores. The frequency is generated by the magnetic core pushing the magnetic core connected to the airbag up and down under the action of air pressure. Different frequency values ​​correspond to different water levels.

[0092] The embodiments of the present application provide a washing machine control method, device, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium. Specifically, the embodiments of the present application provide a washing machine control device applicable to the washing machine control method, the washing machine control device includes a washing machine and a main control device of the washing machine, and the washing machine can be a pulsator washing machine, a drum washing machine, an agitator washing machine, a jet washing machine, or other washing machine capable of washing clothes.

[0093] In the prior art, during operation, a washing machine will perform washing operations corresponding to a washing program selected by a user.

[0094] For example, after the user places the clothes to be washed in the washing tub of the washing machine and selects "Winter", the washing machine will place a preset amount of water into the washing tub according to the pre-set program corresponding to "Winter" and perform the washing operation for a preset time until the program corresponding to "Winter" is completed.

[0095] However, the existing washing machine control method is unable to further control the water intake, washing method and washing time according to the preset program and the weight of the clothes to be washed, resulting in problems such as the washing time being too long or too short, the clothes not being washed clean or the clothes being damaged. Not only does it fail to achieve a washing effect that satisfies the user, it also causes energy waste and brings a bad user experience.

[0096] Therefore, the washing machine control method in the prior art has a technical problem that the washing effect cannot satisfy the user.

[0097] The embodiments of the present application provide a method, device, electronic device and computer-readable storage medium for controlling a washing machine. The method adopts the following technical solutions: determining the weight information of the clothes to be washed; determining the first water intake according to the weight information; controlling the washing machine to take in water according to the first water intake; determining the first frequency difference between the first water level frequency and the preset water level frequency after the washing machine has been running for a first time, the first water level frequency being used to characterize the height of the water level in the washing machine after the washing machine has been running for a first time; and determining the target washing program according to the first frequency difference.

[0098] In summary, the washing machine control method in the embodiment of the present application can set different water intake methods according to the weight of the clothes, and select a suitable washing program according to the water absorption characteristics of the clothes after washing for a certain period of time, thereby achieving the technical effect of saving energy while ensuring the cleanliness of the clothes.

[0099] It should be noted that the order of description of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the priority order of the embodiments.

[0100] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The following is a scene diagram of the washing machine control method provided in the embodiment of the present application. The washing machine control system may include a washing machine 100 and a main control device 200. The washing machine 100 and the main control device 200 may be connected to each other in any manner, including but not limited to signal communication through electronic circuits, communication through wireless signals, and the wireless signals may be computer network communications of the TCP / IP Protocol Suite (TCP / IP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). The washing machine 100 may receive control signals from a remote control or a control panel, and the washing machine 100 may also receive command information sent by the main control device 200. The washing machine 100 may perform corresponding operations according to the corresponding command information.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, the washing machine 100 includes but is not limited to a drum washing machine, a pulsator washing machine, an agitator washing machine, a jet washing machine and other laundry equipment capable of washing clothes.

[0102] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 1 The application environment shown in the figure is only one application scenario of the present application solution and does not constitute a limitation on the application scenario of the present application solution. Other application environments may also include Figure 1 More or less washing machines as shown in Figure 1Only one washing machine is shown in the figure, and the specific details are not limited here.

[0103] In addition, if Figure 1 As shown, the main control device 200 may include any hardware device capable of data processing and command sending, such as a CPU or a single-chip microcomputer embedded in the washing machine, and the specific details are not limited here.

[0104] It should be noted that Figure 1 The scenario diagram of the washing machine control system shown is only an example. The washing machine control system and scenario described in the embodiment of the present application are intended to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application. A person of ordinary skill in the art can know that with the evolution of the washing machine control system and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0105] For details, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 : is a schematic diagram of a scenario in which a washing machine according to an embodiment of the present application executes the washing machine control method, wherein the specific execution process of the washing machine executing the washing machine control method is as follows:

[0106] S201: Determine the weight information of the laundry to be washed.

[0107] In the embodiment of the present application, the weight of the clothes to be washed can be determined by weighing.

[0108] It should be noted that the clothes to be washed are the clothes and / or other items to be washed that the user places in the washing drum of the washing machine; the weight information of the clothes to be washed can be the specific weight of the clothes to be washed or the weight range of the clothes to be washed, and the load level to which the weight information of the clothes to be washed belongs can be determined based on the specific weight or weight range.

[0109] Optionally, the embodiment of the present application divides the load level into three levels: light load, medium load, and heavy load, and the determined weight information will eventually correspond to the above three load levels. The weight range of different load levels can be set according to actual conditions, for example, according to the size of the washing tub of the washing machine, and is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0110] As an optional embodiment, the load level can also be set to other numbers, not limited to the three in the embodiment of the present application. In the embodiment of the present application, three load forms of a drum washing machine are taken as an example.

[0111] Optionally, the washing machine control method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes: determining the weight value of the laundry to be washed in response to the weighing instruction; determining the weight interval of the laundry to be washed according to the weight value of the laundry to be washed; if the weight interval is the first weight interval, determining the weight information as the first load amount; if the weight interval is the second weight interval, determining the weight information as the second load amount; if the weight interval is the third weight interval, determining the weight information as the third load amount;

[0112] In the embodiment of the present application, the first load is smaller than the second load, and the second load is smaller than the third load, that is, the first load may correspond to a small load, the second load may correspond to a medium load, and the third load may correspond to a large load.

[0113] In the embodiment of the present application, the weighing instruction can be issued in various forms, for example: after the user closes the washing machine door and selects the washing program, the laundry to be washed begins to be weighed; another example: when the laundry is detected in the washing tub, the real-time weighing function is turned on, and when the weight of the laundry to be washed does not change within a preset time, the weighing is completed. The specific weighing method is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application, and the weight value of the laundry to be washed can be determined in various ways.

[0114] Furthermore, after determining the weight value of the clothes to be washed, the weight interval corresponding to the weight value is judged. When the weight value is in the first weight interval, the weight information is determined to be the first load, that is, light load; when the weight value is in the second weight interval, the weight information is determined to be the second load, that is, medium load; when the weight value is in the third weight interval, the weight information is determined to be the third load, that is, heavy load.

[0115] It should be noted that the maximum value of the first weight interval is less than the minimum value of the second weight interval, the maximum value of the second weight interval is less than the minimum value of the third weight interval, and the maximum value of the third weight interval is less than or equal to the maximum load-bearing weight or capacity set for the washing tub of the washing machine.

[0116] Optionally, after determining the weight value of the clothes to be washed, the relationship between the weight value and the preset weight value can be judged. For example, when the weight value is less than or equal to the first preset weight value, the weight information is determined to be a first load, that is, a light load; when the weight value is greater than the first preset weight value and less than or equal to the second preset value, the weight information is determined to be a second load, that is, a medium load; when the weight value is greater than the second preset weight value, the weight information is determined to be a third load, that is, a heavy load.

[0117] It should also be noted that the first preset weight value is less than the second preset weight value, the second preset weight value is less than the third preset weight value, and the third preset weight value is less than or equal to the maximum load-bearing weight or capacity set for the washing tub of the washing machine.

[0118] S202: Determine a first water intake amount according to the weight information.

[0119] In the present application embodiment, Figure 3 As shown in the first water intake volume determination process diagram, after the user selects a washing program and determines to start the washing machine, the washing machine can obtain the weight information of the clothes to be washed. Furthermore, the washing machine can determine the load information based on the weight information, and then determine the water intake volume for this time based on the load information.

[0120] Optionally, the washing machine control method provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes: when the weight information is a first load amount, determining the first water inlet amount as a first preset value; when the weight information is a second load amount, determining the first water inlet amount as a second preset value; when the weight information is a third load amount, determining the first water inlet amount as a third preset value.

[0121] It should be noted that the first preset value is smaller than the second preset value, and the second preset value is smaller than the third preset value.

[0122] Optionally, under light load conditions, the first water inlet volume can be preset to a1L, i.e., the first preset value; under medium load conditions, the first water inlet volume can be preset to a2L, i.e., the second preset value; under heavy load conditions, the first water inlet volume can be preset to a3L, i.e., the third preset value.

[0123] It should be noted that the first water inflow volume is used to indicate the water inflow volume of the washing machine during the first water inflow operation. The first water inflow volume under different weight information may be different. For example, if 1kg and 2kg are both light loads, the first water inflow volume is a1L.

[0124] In the embodiment of the present application, the water inlet volumes a1L, a2L and a3L can be set as needed.

[0125] S203: Controlling the washing machine to take in water according to the first water intake amount, and determining a first frequency difference between a first water level frequency and a preset water level frequency after the washing machine has been running for a first time period.

[0126] In the embodiment of the present application, the first water level frequency is used to represent the height of the water level in the washing machine after the washing machine has been running for a first period of time.

[0127] Alternatively, if Figure 4 The target washing program determination process diagram shown in the figure shows that after determining the first water inlet volume according to the weight information, the washing machine starts to execute the water inlet and washing steps. The washing machine takes in water according to the first water inlet volume, and runs for a first time after completing the water inlet, and detects the first water level frequency at this time, that is, the water level height in the washing tub at this time.

[0128] Optionally, after acquiring the first water level frequency, the difference between the first water level frequency and the preset water level frequency is calculated to obtain a first frequency difference, that is, a water level height difference between a current water level height and a preset water level height.

[0129] It should be noted that WL1 represents the first water level frequency, WL0 represents the preset water level frequency, and W1 represents the first frequency difference.

[0130] In an optional embodiment, taking a drum washing machine as an example, after taking in water according to a first water intake amount, the washing machine can control the drum to rotate forward and reverse at a low speed for N seconds (first time length), and then stop for t1 second after rotating for N seconds, and then detect the water level frequency to obtain accurate water level frequency information.

[0131] Alternatively, Figure 4 As shown, the first water inlet volume under different load conditions is different, and the first running time can be the same or different. Accordingly, different preset water level frequencies can be set according to the first water inlet volume, and the preset water level frequency can also be set according to different machines. In the embodiment of the present application, although the same preset water level frequency is used, it can be changed according to actual conditions in actual applications.

[0132] S204: Determine a target washing program according to the first frequency difference.

[0133] In the embodiment of the present application, after determining the first frequency difference, the target washing program can be determined according to the first frequency difference so as to achieve a better clothing washing effect.

[0134] Optionally, the washing machine control method provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes: determining the frequency interval corresponding to the first frequency difference; if the frequency interval is the first frequency interval, determining the first washing program as the target washing program; if the frequency interval is the second frequency interval, determining the second washing program as the target washing program; if the frequency interval is the third frequency interval, determining the third washing program as the target washing program.

[0135] It should be noted that the maximum value of the first frequency interval is smaller than the minimum value of the second frequency interval, and the maximum value of the second frequency interval is smaller than the minimum value of the third frequency interval; the first washing program is the washing program selected by the user, the second washing program is the washing program pre-set for the washing machine, and the third washing program is the washing program for controlling the re-intake of water into the washing machine.

[0136] In the embodiment of the present application, after the first frequency difference is determined, the frequency interval of the first frequency difference is first determined.

[0140] It should be noted that the above values ​​are only examples, and the first washing program, the second washing program and the third washing program under different load conditions may be the same or different.

[0141] In the embodiment of the present application, the first washing programs for the three load conditions are all washing programs selected by the user. When the first frequency differences of the three load conditions belong to the first frequency intervals corresponding to each load condition, the washing machine executes the washing program pre-selected by the user.

[0142] After determining the target washing program according to the first frequency difference, optionally, the washing machine control method provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes: when the target washing program is a second washing program, determining the operating energy efficiency of the second washing program according to the weight information; and controlling the operation of the washing machine according to the operating energy efficiency of the second washing program.

[0143] In the embodiment of the present application, the second washing programs for the three load conditions are all washing programs pre-set for the washing machine (not the washing programs selected by the user). When the second frequency differences of the three load conditions belong to the second frequency intervals corresponding to each load condition, the washing machine executes the pre-set washing program corresponding to the load condition of the washing machine.

[0144] It should be noted that the second washing program is usually not selectable by the user through the control panel of the washing machine, for example, to control the energy efficiency ratio of the washing machine.

[0145] Optionally, the washing machine control method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes: when the weight information is the first load amount, determining that the operating energy efficiency of the second washing program is the first energy efficiency; when the weight information is the second load amount, determining that the operating energy efficiency of the second washing program is the second energy efficiency; when the weight information is the third load amount, determining that the operating energy efficiency of the second washing program is the third energy efficiency;

[0149] Optionally, when the load condition is multi-load, the washing machine uses a 100% energy efficiency ratio to execute the second washing program, that is, the third energy efficiency.

[0150] It should be noted that the above energy efficiency ratio values ​​are only examples and can be adjusted according to actual conditions.

[0151] After determining the target washing program according to the first frequency difference, optionally, the washing machine control method provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes: when the target washing program is the third washing program, determining the second water inlet amount according to the first water inlet amount, controlling the washing machine to intake water according to the second water inlet amount, determining the second frequency difference between the second water level frequency and the preset water level frequency after the washing machine has run for a second period of time, the second water level frequency being used to characterize the height of the water level in the washing machine after the washing machine has run for a second period of time; and re-determining the target washing program according to the second frequency difference.

[0152] In an embodiment of the present application, after determining that the target washing program is the third washing program, it is necessary to determine the second water inlet amount based on the first water inlet amount, that is, the washing machine needs to be filled with water again, and after filling with water according to the second water inlet amount, it runs for a second time and detects the second water level frequency at this time, that is, the water level height in the washing tub after adding water and running again.

[0153] It should be noted that the second water inflow volume is used to indicate the water inflow volume of the washing machine during the second or subsequent water inflow operations, and the second water inflow volume under different first water inflow volume conditions may be different. The second duration may be set to be the same as the first duration.

[0154] In an embodiment of the present application, after obtaining the second water level frequency, the difference between the second water level frequency and the preset water level frequency is calculated to obtain the second frequency difference, that is, the water level difference between the water level after running for the second time length and the preset water level.

[0155] In an optional embodiment, taking a drum washing machine as an example, after taking in water according to the second water intake amount, the washing machine can control the drum to rotate forward and reverse at a low speed for N seconds (the second time length, which may be the same as the first time length), and then stand still for t1 second after rotating for N seconds, and then detect the water level frequency to obtain accurate water level frequency information.

[0156] Alternatively, Figure 4 As shown, taking the start of operation under light load as an example, when the first frequency difference belongs to the third frequency interval corresponding to the light load condition, the washing machine can be controlled to take in a2L-a1L of water (the second water inlet amount) again, and run for N seconds after the water is taken in, and after being still for t1 seconds, the second water level frequency is detected, and the second frequency difference is further obtained. Finally, the target washing program is determined according to the frequency interval to which the second frequency difference belongs under medium load condition.

[0157] Alternatively, Figure 4 As shown, taking the start of operation under medium load as an example, when the first frequency difference belongs to the third frequency interval corresponding to the medium load condition, the washing machine can be controlled to take in a3L-a2L of water (the second water inlet), and run for N seconds after the water is taken in, and after being still for t1 seconds, the second water level frequency is detected, and the second frequency difference is further obtained. Finally, the target washing program is determined according to the frequency interval to which the second frequency difference belongs under multi-load conditions.

[0158] Alternatively, Figure 4 As shown, taking the start of operation under multi-load conditions as an example, when the first frequency difference belongs to the third frequency interval corresponding to the multi-load condition, the washing machine can be controlled to take in a4L-a3L of water (the second water inlet), and run for N seconds after the water is taken in, and after being still for t1 seconds, the second water level frequency is detected, and the second frequency difference is further obtained. Finally, the target washing program is determined according to the frequency interval to which the second frequency difference belongs under the multi-load condition.

[0159] It should be noted that the water inlet volumes a1L, a2L, a3L and a4L can be set as needed.

[0160] By adopting the embodiment of the present application, the load is weighed and different water intake methods are set according to the weight. The water absorption characteristics of different loads are used to determine the water intake methods for large, medium and small loads, as well as the selection of subsequent washing programs.
