Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of household appliance control technology, and in particular to a dehydration control method and device for a washing machine, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] At present, the common way to optimize the dehydration process of a drum washing machine is often to inform the washing machine of the material information of the clothes to be washed by manually pre-inputting or installing an identification device before the start of washing, so that the user can place the clothes in front of the camera one by one for identification when putting them in, and finally optimize the dehydration process according to the material of the clothes, the quality before and after dehydration, etc., in order to quickly complete the dehydration process. However, if only referring to the material of the clothes without considering that when the amount of clothes and the distribution of clothes are different, the clothes will show different eccentricity when dehydrating, it is impossible to predict the dehydration speed increase curve of the washing machine in the pre-dehydration and main dehydration stages, and thus it is impossible to avoid repeated eccentricity detection processes, and it is impossible to effectively simplify the dehydration process.

Based on the image captured by the first camera, a large number of images are labeled based on the semantic segmentation technology of computer vision, and the labeled images are made into a data set; the data set is trained on the Mobile U-net model of the convolutional neural network (CNN), and the training results can identify the parts of the clothes and the washing machine that are respectively segmented and the current stacking thickness h of the clothes in the washing machine for the real-time pictures; the second camera is installed at a higher position at the front or rear of the washing machine's inner drum to shoot the image of the washing machine's inner drum from an oblique downward direction. Based on the image captured by the second camera, a large number of images are labeled based on the semantic segmentation technology of computer vision, and the labeled images are made into a data set; the data set is trained on the Mobile U-net model of the convolutional neural network (CNN). leU-net model training, the training result can identify the parts of the clothes and the washing machine respectively, and the current expanded area s of the clothes in the side wall of the inner drum of the washing machine for the real-time pictures; it is worth noting that when the clothes in the drum have the same stacking height h and expanded area s, it is not possible to uniquely determine the state of the clothes in the inner drum, and different distribution states of clothes will also have different effects on the subsequent dehydration control process; in addition to the stacking height and the expanded area, it is necessary to introduce another variable to describe the current distribution state of the clothes in the inner drum. Therefore, the clothing distribution state parameter θ is introduced in the embodiment of the present invention. In addition to obtaining the area parameter through the second camera, the distribution state parameter θ of the clothes in the drum needs to be calculated using the semantic segmentation technology.

[0058] Step S206, the third acquisition step, inputs the clothing state parameters and the clothing weight into the dehydration strategy determination model, so as to use the dehydration strategy determination model to process the clothing state parameters and the clothing weight, and obtain a dehydration control strategy for dehydrating the washing machine, wherein the dehydration strategy determination model is trained using a plurality of groups of second training data through a deep learning method, and each of the plurality of groups of second training data includes: sample clothing state parameters, sample clothing weight, and sample dehydration control strategies corresponding to the sample clothing state parameters and the sample clothing weight.

[0059] In this embodiment, the trained dehydration strategy determination model can be used to analyze and process the stacking height h, unfolding area s, distribution state θ and clothing weight g of the clothes obtained in the above steps, so as to predict the speed-up node process of the pre-dehydration and main dehydration stages of the clothes in the current drum through the calculation of multi-layer neurons, that is, the dehydration control strategy for controlling the washing machine to perform dehydration processing.

[0060] Combine the following Figure 6 The training process of the dehydration strategy determination model in the above embodiment of the present invention is described in detail. Figure 6is a schematic diagram of a training dehydration strategy determination model according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] In addition, the convolutional neural network needs to be processed on a remote server when performing image segmentation and feature point extraction, mainly because the remote server can provide high-performance computing resources, efficient data processing capabilities, flexible scalability, high stability and reliability, strict security and efficient network connections, thereby meeting the needs of large-scale image processing and analysis; therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the convolutional neural network (CNN) Mobi can be completed by deploying a server at a remote end. The preliminary model training of leU-net and the recognition tasks during the actual operation of the washing machine are also used to complete the training and calculation of the BP neural network. In actual use, after the pre-processing is completed, the clothes in the drum are photographed through the two built-in cameras. After obtaining the photos in the drum, the photos are transmitted to the remote server. Relying on the high performance of the remote server, the photos can be quickly processed. After receiving the photos, the remote server inputs them into the semantic segmentation model. Through the segmentation processing of the model, the stacking height h, unfolding area s and distribution state θ of the clothes in the current photo in the drum of the washing machine are obtained. The weight g of the clothes in the drum can be calculated locally through the weighing module in the washing machine body, and the weight g of the clothes in the drum is also sent to the remote server. After receiving the parameter g, it inputs the other three parameters obtained by itself into the prediction model BP neural network. The prediction model predicts the speed-up node process of the pre-dehydration and main dehydration stages of the current clothes in the drum through the calculation of multi-layer neurons based on the four parameters passed in.

[0062] Specifically, the historical operation data of the washing machine can be collected and a large number of inner drum images can be input as a data set. Figure 4 The MobileU-net convolutional neural network shown in the figure is used to train the network. The trained network can calculate the stacking height h, unfolding area s, mass g in the drum, and distribution state parameter θ of the clothes in the drum and obtain the subsequent program execution process corresponding to the above related parameters (including: speed-up node process prediction in the pre-dehydration and main dehydration stages); the stacking height h, unfolding area s, weight g of the clothes in the drum and the current distribution state θ of the clothes in the drum are regarded as a data point, and then the collected data is cleaned and preprocessed to remove noise, outliers and redundant information. Finally, the data is labeled to clarify the subsequent execution process corresponding to each data point. Then a data set consisting of a large number of data points is input into Figure 6 The BP neural network shown is used to train the network and adjust the model parameters to optimize the prediction performance.

[0063] Step S208, a control step, controls the washing machine to perform a dehydration operation according to a dehydration control strategy so that the water content in the inner drum is lower than a water content threshold.

[0064] In this embodiment, the washing machine can be controlled to perform dehydration processing according to the dehydration control strategy obtained in the above steps to complete the dehydration operation.

[0065] According to the above embodiment of the present invention, in the above step S208, the dehydration operation includes a pre-dehydration operation and a main dehydration operation, and the washing machine is controlled to perform the dehydration operation according to the dehydration control strategy so that the water content in the inner drum is lower than the water content threshold, including: dividing the dehydration control strategy to obtain the pre-dehydration control strategy and the main dehydration control strategy, wherein the pre-dehydration control strategy is used to control the pre-dehydration stage in the dehydration process of the washing machine, and the main dehydration control strategy is used to control the main dehydration stage in the dehydration process of the washing machine, and the pre-dehydration stage is the previous dehydration stage of the main dehydration stage; determining the pre-dehydration speed increase of the inner drum according to the pre-dehydration control strategy Curve, wherein the pre-spin speed-up curve refers to the predicted speed-up curve of the speed in the pre-spin stage; controlling the washing machine to perform the pre-spin operation according to the pre-spin control strategy to obtain the actual pre-spin speed-up curve of the speed, wherein the pre-spin operation refers to the spin operation performed in the pre-spin stage; comparing the actual pre-spin speed-up curve with the pre-spin speed-up curve to obtain a comparison result; determining a target main spin control strategy for controlling the main spin stage according to the comparison result; controlling the washing machine to perform the main spin operation according to the target main spin control strategy to make the water content in the inner drum lower than the water content threshold, wherein the main spin operation refers to the spin operation performed in the main spin stage.

[0066] Specifically, according to the method of the above steps of the present invention, when the dehydration work is actually performed, the actually captured picture inside the drum can be transmitted to the Mobile-net network model, and after the model calculation, h, s, θ and the obtained g value can be input into the BP neural network for prediction, so as to obtain the pre-dehydration speed-up process curve corresponding to the current amount of clothes and the state of clothes; then, according to the predicted speed-up node process, the speed-up curve in the pre-dehydration stage is determined (for example, assuming that the predicted speed-up curve has three speed adjustment nodes: 200 rpm -> 400 rpm -> 500 rpm). After the pre-dehydration stage is completed, the actual operation result can be compared with the predicted result to further determine the control method for the main dehydration stage.

[0067] In the above embodiment of the present invention, determining a target main dehydration control strategy for controlling the main dehydration stage according to the comparison result includes: when the comparison result indicates that the actual pre-dehydration speed-up curve is the same as the pre-dehydration speed-up curve, determining the main dehydration control strategy as the target main dehydration control strategy; when the comparison result indicates that the actual pre-dehydration speed-up curve is the same as the pre-dehydration speed-up curve, acquiring current image data of the inner drum and current weight of the clothes to be dehydrated, wherein the current image data refers to data of the inner drum after the washing machine performs a pre-dehydration operation, and the current weight of the clothes refers to the weight of the clothes to be dehydrated after the washing machine performs a pre-dehydration operation; after updating the image data input into the parameter determination model to the current image data and updating the weight of the clothes input into the dehydration strategy determination model to the current weight of the clothes, sequentially executing the second acquisition step and the third acquisition step to obtain the target main dehydration control strategy for controlling the main dehydration stage.

[0068] Specifically, if the actual operation result of the pre-spinning stage is consistent with the predicted result (it is necessary to consider that the eccentricity effect may cause the actual speed-up process to differ from the predicted process), the speed-up node process of the main spin stage is directly started according to the previous predicted result (for example, assuming that the predicted speed-up curve has four speed adjustment nodes: 600 rpm -> 800 rpm -> 1000 rpm -> 1200 rpm) until the spin stage ends (the pre-spinning and main spin speed-up node process curves may contain n speed adjustment nodes); if the actual operation result of the pre-spinning stage is different from the predicted result, the pre-processing, image shooting, remote processing, process prediction and other stages are repeatedly executed according to the current state of the clothes in the inner drum, and the pre-spinning is directly skipped to directly execute the newly predicted speed-up node process of the main spin stage until the spin stage ends.

[0069] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the dehydration control method of the washing machine also includes: after each time the parameter determination model is used to obtain the clothing state parameters corresponding to the image data, the parameter determination model is optimized according to the image data and the clothing state parameters to obtain the optimized parameter determination model; after each time the dehydration strategy determination model is used to obtain the dehydration control strategy corresponding to the clothing state parameters and the clothing weight, the dehydration strategy determination model is optimized according to the clothing state parameters, the clothing weight and the dehydration control strategy to obtain the optimized dehydration strategy determination model.

[0070] Specifically, in the process of using the trained parameter determination model and the dehydration strategy determination model to control the dehydration process of the washing machine, the two models can be continuously adaptively optimized using the actual data used in each control process to improve the performance of the model.

[0071] As can be seen from the above, through the technical solution provided by the above embodiments of the present invention, in the first acquisition step, when it is determined to start dehydrating the clothes to be dehydrated in the inner drum of the washing machine, the image data of the inner drum and the clothes weight of the clothes to be dehydrated can be acquired; in the second acquisition step, the image data is input into the parameter determination model, so as to process the image data by using the parameter determination model to obtain the clothes state parameters of the clothes to be dehydrated in the inner drum, wherein the parameter determination model is trained by using a deep learning method using multiple groups of first training data, and each of the multiple groups of first training data includes: sample image data, and sample clothes state parameters corresponding to the sample image data; in the third acquisition step, the clothes state parameters and the clothes weight are input into the dehydration strategy determination model, so as to process the clothes state parameters and the clothes weight by using the dehydration strategy determination model to obtain the clothes state parameters and the clothes weight of the washing machine for dehydration. The invention discloses a dehydration control strategy for processing, wherein the dehydration strategy determination model is obtained by training with a plurality of groups of second training data by a deep learning method, and each of the plurality of groups of second training data includes: sample clothing state parameters, sample clothing weights, and sample dehydration control strategies corresponding to the sample clothing state parameters and the sample clothing weights; a control step, controlling the washing machine to perform a dehydration operation according to the dehydration control strategy, so that the water content in the inner drum is lower than a water content threshold value, achieving the purpose of obtaining a dehydration control strategy by acquiring and identifying images of the clothing in the inner drum before formally controlling the dehydration of the washing machine, analyzing and processing the images using a corresponding model, and controlling the washing machine to perform dehydration processing according to the strategy, achieving the technical effect of directly analyzing and determining the dehydration control strategy before dehydration, so as to avoid repeated eccentricity detection during the dehydration process of the washing machine, thereby improving the dehydration efficiency of the washing machine.
