[0030] This embodiment provides a control method for steam cleaning clothes that runs on a mobile terminal, computer terminal, or similar computing device. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Also, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0031] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a control method for steam cleaning clothing according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0032] Step S201 (first acquisition step): Obtain the first clothing area of ​​the clothes inside the drum of the drum washing machine. The first clothing area is the clothing area when the clothes inside the drum are stationary inside the drum of the drum washing machine.

[0033] Specifically, an image module and a recognition module are placed inside the washing machine drum. The image module is installed in a position that allows for a comprehensive observation of the clothes inside the drum. The recognition module is equipped with a pre-trained artificial intelligence model to identify and provide feedback on the state of the clothes. The recognition results are fed back to the motor, which adjusts the motor speed to keep the clothes in an open state during the care process, allowing the clothes to better contact with the steam and achieve better care results.

[0034] The method of obtaining the first area of ​​the clothes inside the drum of the drum washing machine includes: obtaining a first image of the clothes inside the drum of the drum washing machine, and using a first artificial intelligence model to identify the first image of the clothes to obtain the first area of ​​the clothes.

[0035] Specifically, when the clothing is in a static state, the image module takes a picture of the clothing inside the tube to obtain the first image P1, and transmits the image to the recognition module. The artificial intelligence model is used to recognize the image, and the clothing features in the first image and the first clothing area S1 are obtained through the semantic segmentation algorithm.

[0036] The artificial intelligence model was trained through white-box and black-box testing by taking a large number of pictures of clothes in different states inside the tube and using labels to indicate the criteria for successful recognition.

[0037] Step S202 (Second Acquisition Step): Acquire the second clothing area of ​​the clothes inside the drum of the above-mentioned drum washing machine. The second clothing area is the clothing area of ​​the clothes inside the drum when the rotation speed of the above-mentioned drum washing machine reaches the preset speed.

[0038] Specifically, an image module and a recognition module are placed inside the washing machine drum to obtain the second area of ​​the clothing, thereby adjusting the motor speed to keep the clothing in an unfolded state during the care process, so that the clothing can better contact the steam and obtain better care results.

[0039] The process of obtaining the second garment area inside the drum of the aforementioned drum washing machine includes: obtaining a second garment image inside the drum of the aforementioned drum washing machine, and using a second artificial intelligence model to identify the second garment image to obtain the second garment area.

[0040] Specifically, the steam care process begins. When the washing machine reaches the set speed V1, the image module takes a picture of the clothes inside the drum to obtain a second image P2. The recognition module recognizes P2 to obtain information about the inside of the drum and the characteristics of the clothes, the area of ​​the second clothes S2, and the center height h of the clothes.

[0041] In addition, the first and second clothing images can be single images, or they can be a group of images, where the areas S1 and S2 of the first and second clothing are the average values ​​in the corresponding image group.

[0042] Step S203 (cleaning step): Compare the area of ​​the first garment and the area of ​​the second garment to obtain a comparison result, and adjust the rotation speed of the drum washing machine according to the comparison result so that the area of ​​the second garment is larger than the preset area, so as to perform steam cleaning on the garments in the drum.

[0043] Specifically, by comparing the area of ​​the first garment and the area of ​​the second garment, the garments can be spread out better, increasing the contact area between the steam and the garments, thereby achieving better cleaning and drying, and thus achieving better care results.

[0044] Before comparing the areas of the first garment and the second garment to obtain a comparison result, the above method includes the following steps:

[0045] Step S301: When the rotation speed of the drum washing machine reaches the preset rotation speed, the center height of the clothes inside the drum is obtained. The center height of the clothes is the height of the center point of the clothes inside the drum within the drum of the drum washing machine.

[0046] Step S302: Obtain the height of the first target and the height of the second target, wherein the height of the first target is less than the height of the second target;

[0047] Step S303: Adjust the rotation speed of the drum washing machine according to the relationship between the center height of the garment and the first and second target heights.

[0048] Specifically, if the height at which the clothes are thrown is too high or too low, the clothes will not unfold properly. If the height is too high, the clothes will hit the drum; if the height is too low, the clothes will not be thrown at all. Therefore, this application sets a first target height h1 and a second target height h2. These two heights are the minimum height at which the clothes just unfold and the maximum height at which the clothes are thrown without hitting the drum. Figure 3 As shown.

[0049] The process of adjusting the rotation speed of the drum washing machine based on the relationship between the center height of the garment and the first and second target heights includes the following steps:

[0050] Step S401: When the height of the center of the clothing is less than the first target height, obtain the target first difference between the height of the center of the clothing and the first target height.

[0051] Step S402: Obtain the first mapping relationship, which is the mapping relationship between the first difference and the first adjustable speed of the drum washing machine, and the first adjustable speed is negatively correlated with the first difference.

[0052] Step S403: Based on the target first difference and the first mapping relationship, determine the target first adjustment speed of the drum washing machine, wherein the target first adjustment speed is a positive number;

[0053] Step S404: The sum of the current rotation speed of the drum washing machine and the target first adjustment speed is determined as the first target rotation speed, and the rotation speed of the drum washing machine is increased to the first target rotation speed.

[0054] Specifically, after the recognition module acquires the clothing information, it first compares the clothing center height h with the first target height h1. If the clothing center height h is less than the first target height h1, the motor is fed back to increase its speed, raising the starting point of the clothing and then the image is taken and recognized again. The first target height h1 is set according to a preset step size, such as +5, -10, -2, -2.

[0055] The process of adjusting the rotation speed of the drum washing machine based on the relationship between the center height of the garment and the first and second target heights further includes the following steps:

[0056] Step S501: If the height of the center of the clothing is greater than the second target height, obtain the second target difference between the height of the center of the clothing and the second target height.

[0057] Step S502: Obtain the second mapping relationship, which is the mapping relationship between the second difference and the second adjustment speed of the drum washing machine. The second adjustment speed is negatively correlated with the second difference.

[0058] Step S503: Based on the above-mentioned target second difference and the above-mentioned second mapping relationship, determine the target second adjustment speed of the above-mentioned drum washing and care machine, wherein the above-mentioned target second adjustment speed is a negative number;

[0059] Step S504: The sum of the current rotation speed of the drum washing machine and the target second adjustment speed is determined as the second target rotation speed, and the rotation speed of the drum washing machine is reduced to the second target rotation speed.

[0060] Specifically, if the height h of the center of the clothing is greater than the height h1 of the first target, then it is determined whether h is greater than the height h2 of the second target. If the result is greater, the rotation speed is reduced so that the starting point of the clothing is lowered and then the photo is taken and identified again.

[0061] The method of adjusting the rotation speed of the drum washing machine based on the relationship between the center height of the garment and the first and second target heights further includes: keeping the current rotation speed of the drum washing machine unchanged when the center height of the garment is greater than or equal to the first target height and less than or equal to the second target height, and determining to compare the area of ​​the first garment and the area of ​​the second garment.

[0062] Specifically, when the clothes inside the drum are unfolded, the spin speed remains constant. Then, the washing machine will continuously detect the state of the clothes inside the drum according to the above process, determine whether the clothes are unfolded, and then make corresponding adjustments.

[0063] The process of adjusting the rotation speed of the drum washing machine based on the comparison results includes the following steps:

[0064] Step S601: When the area of ​​the second garment is greater than or equal to k times the area of ​​the first garment, keep the current rotation speed of the drum washing machine unchanged, where k is a positive integer;

[0065] Step S602: When the area of ​​the second garment is less than k times the area of ​​the first garment, the washing machine is controlled to repeatedly perform the washing preparation step until the area of ​​the second garment is greater than or equal to k times the area of ​​the first garment or the number of times the washing preparation step is repeated reaches a preset number. The washing preparation step includes a speed adjustment step, a second acquisition step, and a cleaning step. The speed adjustment step is a step of controlling the speed of the washing machine to increase from zero to the preset speed.

[0066] Specifically, after completing step S504 above, the unfolded area of ​​the garment, i.e., the second garment area S2, is identified to determine whether the second garment area S2 is greater than k times the first area S1, thereby determining whether the garment unfolds when it is tossed up. If S2 is greater than k times S1, it proves that the garment has unfolded at this time, and the rotation speed remains unchanged; if S2 is less than k times S1, it proves that the garment has not been unfolded, and there is a problem with the tossing height that prevents the garment from unfolding better. Therefore, at this time, the identification module sends data to the motor to adjust the motor speed by Δv1, and then re-identifies, that is, adjusts the motor speed to 0, and then restarts the drum washing machine to re-determine whether the garment has unfolded.

[0067] The steam cleaning control method for clothing described in this application firstly involves a first acquisition step, which acquires the area of ​​the clothing inside the drum of a drum washing machine when the clothing is stationary. Next, a second acquisition step acquires the area of ​​the clothing inside the drum when the washing machine reaches a preset rotation speed. Finally, a cleaning step compares the first and second clothing areas to obtain a comparison result, and adjusts the rotation speed of the drum washing machine based on this result so that the second clothing area is larger than the preset area, thereby performing steam cleaning on the clothing inside the drum. This method performs image recognition on the clothing during the steam cleaning process and feeds the result back to the motor to control its rotation speed, enabling better stain removal and sterilization of the clothing. It also maintains the smoothness of the clothing surface, reduces the probability of deformation, and extends the lifespan of the clothing, solving the problems of incomplete cleaning and excessive wrinkles in existing steam cleaning technologies.

[0068] The complete process of the control method for steam cleaning of clothing described in this application is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the process includes the following steps: At the start of steam treatment, acquire a first image P1 showing the garment in a static state and a first garment area S1; upon entering the normal treatment process, acquire the preset motor speed V1, and determine if the speed v of the drum washing machine is equal to the preset speed V1. If equal, acquire a second image P2 showing the second garment area S2 and the garment height h; compare the garment height h with the first target height h1 and the second target height h2. If h is less than h1, increase the washing machine speed; if h is greater than h1, determine if h is greater than h2. If greater, decrease the washing machine speed; if less, keep the speed unchanged; if h is less than h2, determine the relationship between S2 and k times S1. If S2 is greater than k times S1, keep the speed unchanged; if less, adjust the speed until the garment is flat and spread out. Figure 4 In this example, k = 2. The value of k can be modified according to the actual operation. The value of k is not limited in this embodiment.

[0069] It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0070] This application also provides a control device for steam cleaning of clothing.

The center height of the garment is the height of the center point of the garment inside the drum of the drum washing machine. The second cleaning module is used to obtain a first target height and a second target height, wherein the first target height is less than the second target height. The third cleaning module is used to adjust the rotation speed of the drum washing machine according to the relationship between the center height of the garment and the first and second target heights. This ensures that the height to which the garment is thrown meets the requirements, allowing the garment to unfold better.

[0076] In some examples, the third cleaning module includes a first cleaning submodule, a second cleaning submodule, a third cleaning submodule, and a fourth cleaning submodule. The first cleaning submodule is used to obtain a target first difference between the center height of the garment and the first target height when the center height of the garment is less than the first target height. The second cleaning submodule is used to obtain a first mapping relationship, which is a mapping relationship between the first difference and the first adjustable speed of the drum washer, wherein the first adjustable speed is negatively correlated with the first difference. The third cleaning submodule is used to determine the target first adjustable speed of the drum washer based on the target first difference and the first mapping relationship, wherein the target first adjustable speed is a positive number. The fourth cleaning submodule is used to determine the first target speed by summing the current speed of the drum washer and the target first adjustable speed, and then increase the speed of the drum washer to the first target speed. By increasing the speed, the garments achieve a better unfolding effect.

[0077] In some examples, the third cleaning module further includes a fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth cleaning sub-modules. The fifth cleaning sub-module is used to obtain a target second difference between the center height of the garment and the second target height when the center height of the garment is greater than the second target height. The sixth cleaning sub-module is used to obtain a second mapping relationship, which is a mapping relationship between the second difference and the second adjustable speed of the drum washer / washer, wherein the second adjustable speed is negatively correlated with the second difference. The seventh cleaning sub-module is used to determine the target second adjustable speed of the drum washer / washer based on the target second difference and the second mapping relationship, wherein the target second adjustable speed is negative. The eighth cleaning sub-module is used to determine the second target speed by summing the current speed of the drum washer / washer and the target second adjustable speed, and then reduce the speed of the drum washer / washer to the second target speed. By reducing the speed, the garments achieve a better unfolding effect.

[0078] In some examples, the third cleaning module also includes a ninth cleaning submodule, used to maintain the current rotation speed of the drum washing machine when the center height of the garment is greater than or equal to the first target height and less than or equal to the second target height, and to determine and compare the areas of the first and second garments. This allows the garments to achieve a better unfolding effect.

[0079] In some examples, the cleaning unit further includes a fourth cleaning module and a fifth cleaning module. The fourth cleaning module is used to maintain the current rotation speed of the drum washer / dryer unchanged when the area of ​​the second garment is greater than or equal to k times the area of ​​the first garment, where k is a positive integer. The fifth cleaning module is used to control the drum washer / dryer to repeatedly execute the washing and care preparation steps when the area of ​​the second garment is less than k times the area of ​​the first garment, until the area of ​​the second garment is greater than or equal to k times the area of ​​the first garment or the number of times the washing and care preparation steps are repeated reaches a preset number. The washing and care preparation steps include a rotation speed adjustment step, the second acquisition step, and the cleaning step. The rotation speed adjustment step is the step of controlling the rotation speed of the drum washer / dryer to increase from zero to the preset rotation speed. The state of the clothes inside the drum is continuously detected to determine whether the clothes are unfolded, and corresponding adjustments are made.
