The singular terms "one" and "the" may also include plural forms.
[0041] At present, there are three traditional washing methods: First, do not classify, put all or fill a drum at a time. This washing method is easy to cause color mixing, and may also cause a large load on the washing machine and a long washing time. Second, classify by color. After this method, there are many colors of clothes after classification, and they need to be washed several times, which wastes water and electricity, and each time different types of clothes are mixed, resulting in a long washing time. Third, classify by type of clothing (for example, coats, T-shirts, pants). This washing method is easy to cause color mixing, and you may need to select a different program each time, and the selected program may not be suitable.
[0042] To this end, the present application proposes a method, device, electronic device and storage medium for washing clothes, which specifically include: obtaining the clothes information of the clothes to be washed; classifying the clothes to be washed based on the clothes information; and controlling the washing device to wash the clothes based on the classification results. In this way, the washing device is controlled to wash the clothes to be washed according to the classification results of the clothes, which improves the washing effect and enhances the user experience.
[0043] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following is a detailed description of the clothes washing method of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, taking a washing machine as an example of a washing device. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, and are not intended to limit the clothes washing method described in the present invention to use a washing machine as a washing device.
[0044] See attached Figure 1 , Figure 1 1 is a flow chart of main steps of a method for washing clothes according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the clothes washing method in the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps S100 to S300.
[0046] Step S100: Acquire laundry information of laundry.
[0047] Step S200: classifying the laundry based on the laundry information.
[0048] Step S300: controlling the washing device to wash the laundry based on the classification result.
[0049] Based on the above steps S100 to S300, the steps specifically include: obtaining the laundry information of the laundry; classifying the laundry based on the laundry information; and controlling the washing device to wash the laundry based on the classification result. In this way, the washing device is controlled to wash the laundry based on the classification result, thereby improving the washing effect and the user experience.
[0050] The above steps S100 to S300 are further explained below.
[0051] With respect to the above step S100, the clothing information of the laundry to be washed is obtained, wherein the clothing information of the laundry to be washed may include at least one of the clothing color, clothing material and clothing type.
[0052] In this embodiment, the laundry information of the laundry includes the color, material and type of the laundry.
[0053] Specifically, the color, material and type of clothes can be identified by image recognition technology. Specifically, the image information of the clothes to be washed is collected by a collection device arranged in the washing machine drum, and then the image information of the clothes to be washed is input into a trained neural network model to obtain information such as the color, material and type of clothes.
[0054] In addition, the user may manually input information such as clothing color, clothing material, and clothing type.
[0055] The above is a further description of step S100 , and the following is a further description of step S300 .
[0056] For step S200, in a specific embodiment, the clothing information includes at least one of clothing color, clothing material and clothing type; classifying the laundry based on the clothing information includes: classifying the laundry based on at least one of the clothing color, the clothing material and the clothing type to obtain an initial classification result.
[0057] Specifically, the obtained clothing color is matched with the preset color interval to obtain the classification result of the laundry based on the clothing color. The preset color interval can be a color interval corresponding to colors such as yellow, green, and blue. In addition, the laundry can also be classified according to clothing materials or clothing types, where clothing materials include pure cotton, cotton and linen, chiffon, denim, polyester, etc., and clothing types include coats, shirts, pants, T-shirts, etc.
[0058] In a specific embodiment, the method further includes: determining whether the number of clothes in each category in the initial classification result meets a preset condition; if not, merging the categories that do not meet the preset condition to obtain a final classification result.
[0059] The preset condition may be whether the number of clothes belongs to a preset number range, for example, the preset number of clothes under each category is 3 to 5 pieces as the preset number range.
[0060] Specifically, after obtaining the initial classification results, if there are multiple categories of clothes whose quantity is not within the preset quantity interval, the multiple categories can be merged. In this way, when the number of clothes in multiple categories is less than the minimum value of the preset quantity interval, the water waste caused by multiple washing can be reduced.
[0061] In a specific implementation, the merging of the categories that do not meet the preset conditions includes: merging the categories that do not meet the preset conditions in the order of clothing type, clothing material, and clothing color.
[0062] Specifically, during the merging process, the merging operation is performed in the order of clothing type, clothing material, and clothing color. In this way, the classification result of the clothes to be washed is improved, and when washing is further performed based on the classification result, it is beneficial to improve the washing effect.
[0063] Exemplarily, the above step S200 is described in detail by taking a white cotton and linen shirt, a white chiffon top, black fiber pants, blue jeans, a yellow cotton T-shirt, and a blue denim jacket as examples of the laundry to be washed.
[0064] Classify clothes according to their colors and divide clothes of the same color into one category, for example, white cotton and linen shirts and white chiffon tops are in one category, blue jeans and blue denim jackets are in one category, black fiber pants and yellow cotton T-shirts are in two categories each.
[0065] Classify clothes according to their material and divide clothes of the same material into one category, for example, blue jeans and blue denim jackets are in one category, white cotton and linen shirts and white chiffon tops are in one category, and yellow cotton T-shirts and black fiber pants are each in one category.
[0066] Classify by clothing type, and divide the same type of clothing into one category, for example, blue jeans and black fiber pants are in one category, white cotton and linen shirts, white chiffon tops, yellow cotton T-shirts and blue denim jackets are in another category each.
[0067] Since the number of clothes in each category is less than the preset number, it is necessary to merge the initial classification results in the order of clothing type, clothing material, and clothing color. Specifically, taking the results obtained after classification according to clothing type as an example, blue jeans and black fiber pants are in one category, and white cotton and linen shirts, white chiffon tops, yellow pure cotton T-shirts, and blue denim jackets are in one category each. Since there are no identical or similar categories between each category, it is impossible to merge according to clothing category. Then merge according to clothing material, and merge blue jeans, black fiber pants, and blue denim jackets into one category. Since the categories of cotton, linen, and pure cotton are similar, they can be merged into one category. Finally, merge according to clothing color, and merge white cotton and linen shirts, white chiffon tops, and yellow pure cotton T-shirts into one category. Therefore, the final classification results are as follows. Figure 2 shown.
[0068] The above is a further description of step S200 , and the following is a further description of step S300 .
[0069] In a specific embodiment, controlling the washing device to wash the laundry based on the classification result includes: acquiring washing parameters corresponding to the laundry material of the laundry based on the classification result; and controlling the washing device to wash the laundry based on the washing parameters.
[0070] The washing parameters may include washing time, rinsing time, number of rinses, water level, water intake, and the like.
[0071] Specifically, the database stores the correspondence between clothing materials and washing parameters. After obtaining the final classification result, the corresponding washing parameters are obtained from the correspondence according to the clothing materials of the laundry in the final classification result, and then the washing machine is controlled to wash the laundry according to the washing parameters.
[0072] by Figure 2 For example, white cotton and linen shirts, white chiffon tops, and yellow cotton T-shirts will be washed together, and the washing parameters obtained for this category of clothes are the washing parameters of the quick wash program. Blue jeans, black fiber pants, and blue denim jackets will be washed together, and the washing parameters obtained for this category of clothes are the washing parameters of the enhanced wash program.
[0073] In this way, the corresponding washing parameters (washing program) are obtained according to the final classification results, which can effectively wash clothes of different categories, improve the washing effect, and enhance the user experience.
[0074] In a specific embodiment, the method further includes: determining whether to perform color-protecting washing on the laundry based on the color of the laundry in the classification result; and if so, controlling the washing device to add color-protecting substances.
[0075] Specifically, it is determined whether to perform color protection washing on the laundry according to the color of the classified clothes. If so, a color protection substance is added, wherein the color protection substance can be a color protection agent or a color protection block, etc. This is conducive to preventing the clothes from color transfer and improving the washing effect.
[0076] In a specific embodiment, the method further includes: obtaining at least one of a washing time and a rinsing number based on the type of laundry in the classification result; and adjusting the washing parameter based on at least one of the washing time and the rinsing number.
[0077] Specifically, at least one of the washing time and the number of rinses corresponding to the type of laundry can be obtained according to the type of laundry in the classification result, and the washing parameters can be adjusted according to at least one of the washing time and the number of rinses. In this way, the accuracy of the washing parameters is improved, and washing is performed using a washing program with higher accuracy, which is conducive to improving the washing effect and saving water resources.
[0078] Figure 3 This is a complete example of a method for washing clothes in one embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, firstly, the laundry information such as the color, material and type of the laundry is obtained, then the laundry is classified using the laundry information, and a suitable washing program is recommended for each laundry under the classification result. This is helpful to prevent the color of the laundry from mixing, improve the washing effect and enhance the user experience.
[0079] It should be pointed out that although the various steps in the above embodiments are described in a specific order, those skilled in the art can understand that in order to achieve the effects of the present invention, different steps do not have to be performed in such an order. They can be performed simultaneously (in parallel) or in other orders. These changes are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
