[0051] Embodiment 1

[0052] The washing device involved in the embodiments of the present invention is generally a pulsator washing device, such as a pulsator washing machine, a pulsator washer-dryer, etc. The washing device includes at least two suspension rods, each of which is formed with a control circuit.

[0053] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a suspension rod and a control circuit formed by the suspension rod provided in the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, an elastic structure 101 is provided on the suspension rod, and the elastic structure 101 reciprocates with the action of placing a load / rotating in the drum of the washing device; an insulating portion 102 is also provided on the suspension rod, and a suspension rod body 103 between two insulating portions 102 is a conductive structure, and a power supply 104 and a parameter measurement meter 105 are connected in series at both ends of the suspension rod body 103 to form a control loop.

[0054] When the power supply 104 is turned on, the power supply 104 applies current to the control circuit, and the parameter measurement meter 105 can measure the electrical parameters on the boom body 103, and send the electrical parameters to the control device of the washing device, so that the control device of the washing device implements the control method provided by the present invention. The parameter measurement meter 105 can be an ammeter and / or a resistance meter. When the parameter measurement meter 105 is an ammeter, the measured electrical parameter is the current value; when the parameter measurement meter 105 is a resistance meter, the measured electrical parameter is the resistance value; when the parameter measurement meter 105 is an ammeter and a resistance meter, the measured electrical parameters are the current value and the resistance value.

[0055] In another exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 Schematic diagram of another suspension rod and a control circuit formed by the suspension rod provided in the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, an elastic structure 101 is provided on the suspension rod, and the elastic structure 101 reciprocates with the action of placing a load / rotating the inner barrel of the washing device; a strain sensor 106 is also provided on the suspension rod, and the strain sensor 106 is in direct contact with the elastic structure 101. The strain sensor 106 is connected in series with the power supply 104 to form a control loop.

[0056] When the power supply 104 is turned on, the power supply 104 applies current to the control circuit, and the strain sensor 106 can measure the pressure value (i.e., electrical parameter) applied by the elastic structure 101 on the strain sensor 106, and send the pressure value to the control device of the washing equipment, so that the control device of the washing equipment implements the control method provided by the present invention.

[0057] It should be noted that, in order to ensure the safety of the washing device, the current applied by the power supply 104 in the above two exemplary embodiments to the control loop is usually a weak current. In addition, the above two exemplary embodiments can be used in combination, and the embodiment of the present invention does not impose specific restrictions on this. The structure of the above control loop is simple and easy to implement, so that the overall cost of the washing device is controllable.

[0058] Figure 3 is a flow chart of a control method for a washing device provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment can be applied to the above-mentioned Figure 1 and / or Figure 2 The structure shown in the figure determines whether the washing device needs to be leveled before the washing device is operated. The method can be executed by the control device of the washing device. The control device of the washing device can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. The control device of the washing device can be configured in the washing device (such as an electronic device integrated with the washing device). Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0059] S110, respectively obtaining a first electrical parameter of each control loop, where the first electrical parameter is a parameter collected after applying current to the control loop before the washing device is operated.

[0060] The washing device provided in the embodiment of the present invention comprises at least two suspension rods, each of which forms a control circuit. The number of suspension rods can generally be 2, 3, or 4; or an even number. The suspension rods are evenly distributed on the outside of the inner barrel of the washing device and connected to the inner barrel of the washing device.

[0061] Before the washing equipment is operated, the power supply of the control loop formed by each suspension rod is turned on, and current is applied to the control loop. At this time, the control device of the washing equipment respectively obtains the first electrical parameters of each control loop.

[0062] The first electrical parameter includes at least one of a resistance value, a current value, and a pressure value.

[0063] Exemplarily, taking the washing device including four hanging rods as an example, the control device of the washing device can obtain four first electrical parameters, which are respectively recorded as first electrical parameter 1, first electrical parameter 2, first electrical parameter 3 and first electrical parameter 4.

[0064] S120 , taking any two first electrical parameters as a group, and determining an offset of each group of first electrical parameters.

[0065] After the first electrical parameters of each control loop are acquired, the first electrical parameters are grouped in pairs to determine the offset of each group of first electrical parameters.

[0066] Exemplarily, still taking the washing device including 4 hanging rods as an example, the 4 first electrical parameters have a total of 6 groups of first electrical parameters. That is, the first group of first electrical parameters includes first electrical parameter 1 and first electrical parameter 2, the second group of first electrical parameters includes first electrical parameter 1 and first electrical parameter 3, the third group of first electrical parameters includes first electrical parameter 1 and first electrical parameter 4, the fourth group of first electrical parameters includes first electrical parameter 2 and first electrical parameter 3, the fifth group of first electrical parameters includes first electrical parameter 2 and first electrical parameter 4, and the sixth group of first electrical parameters includes first electrical parameter 3 and first electrical parameter 4. Then determine the offset of each group of first electrical parameters respectively.

[0067] Specifically, for a group of first electrical parameters, the offset of the group of first electrical parameters may be the absolute value of the difference between two first electrical parameters in the group of first electrical parameters.

[0068] S130: If any offset is greater than a first preset threshold, a prompt message is issued, where the prompt message is used to prompt the user to perform a leveling process.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present invention, the offset of a group of first electrical parameters indicates the balance between two suspension rods corresponding to two first electrical parameters in the group. When any offset is greater than a first preset threshold, it indicates that there is an imbalance between the suspension rods of the washing device, and the control device of the washing device issues a prompt message to prompt the user to perform a leveling process.

[0070] In one embodiment, the value of the first preset threshold may be set according to actual requirements (such as leveling precision requirements), and the embodiment of the present invention does not impose any specific limitation on this.

[0071] The imbalance between the hanging rods of the washing equipment may be caused by the following two situations: the first is that the washing equipment itself is not placed flat; the second is that the washing equipment itself is placed flat, but the load in the barrel of the washing equipment (such as clothes, shoes, etc.) is not placed flat. For the above two situations, the embodiment of the present invention can also distinguish them in the prompt information. Specifically, the method of "issuing a prompt message" in step S130 may include the following three steps:

[0072] Step a1: Determine the load state of the washing device according to the first electrical parameter.

[0073] In step a1, any first electrical parameter can be selected to determine the load state of the washing device. Specifically, the control device of the washing device can store the electrical parameter standard value corresponding to the load state of the no-load state. By comparing the first electrical parameter with the electrical parameter standard value, it can be determined whether the load state of the washing device is the no-load state or the non-no-load state.

[0074] Step a2: When the load state is an empty state, a first prompt message is issued, and the first prompt message is used to prompt the user to level the washing device.

[0075] When the load state is an empty state, it means that there is no load in the drum of the washing device. At this time, the imbalance between the suspension rods of the washing device can only be caused by the first reason mentioned above, that is, the washing device itself is not placed flat. At this time, the control device of the washing device sends a first prompt message, and the first prompt message is used to prompt the user to level the washing device.

[0076] Step a3: When the load state is not an empty-load state, a second prompt message is issued, and the second prompt message is used to prompt the user to level the load in the washing device.

[0077] When the load state is not an empty state, it means that there is a load in the inner barrel of the washing device. Because the inner barrel of the washing device has been tested once before the load is placed, the imbalance between the suspension rods of the washing device can only be caused by the second reason mentioned above, that is, the washing device itself is placed flat, but the load in the inner barrel of the washing device is not placed flat. The control device of the washing device sends a second prompt message, and the second prompt message is used to prompt the user to level the load in the washing device.

[0078] In this way, an early warning can be issued before operation as to whether the washing equipment itself needs to be leveled, or whether the load in the washing equipment needs to be leveled, thereby avoiding the inner barrel colliding with the box, ensuring the smooth operation of the washing equipment, extending the service life of the washing equipment, and improving the user experience.

[0079] Embodiment 2

[0080] Figure 4 1 is a flow chart of a control method for a washing device provided by the second embodiment of the present invention. Based on the above-mentioned first embodiment, this embodiment can also control the state of the washing device in operation. Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0081] S201. Obtain first electrical parameters of each control loop respectively, where the first electrical parameters are parameters collected after current is applied to the control loop before the washing device is operated.

[0082] The washing device provided in the embodiment of the present invention comprises at least two suspension rods, each suspension rod forms a control loop. Before the washing device is operated, the power supply of the control loop formed by each suspension rod is turned on, and current is applied to the control loop. At this time, the control device of the washing device respectively obtains the first electrical parameter of each control loop.

[0083] The first electrical parameter includes at least one of a resistance value, a current value, and a pressure value.

[0084] S202: Taking any two first electrical parameters as a group, determine an offset of each group of first electrical parameters.

[0085] After the first electrical parameters of each control loop are acquired, the first electrical parameters are grouped in pairs to determine the offset of each group of first electrical parameters.

[0086] Specifically, for a group of first electrical parameters, the offset of the group of first electrical parameters may be the absolute value of the difference between two first electrical parameters in the group of first electrical parameters.

[0087] S203: Determine whether all offsets are less than or equal to a first preset threshold value. If not, continue to execute S204; if yes, continue to execute S207.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present invention, the offset of a group of first electrical parameters indicates the balance between two suspension rods corresponding to two first electrical parameters in the group. When any offset is greater than the first preset threshold, it indicates that there is an imbalance between the suspension rods of the washing device.

[0089] In one embodiment, the value of the first preset threshold may be set according to actual requirements (such as leveling precision requirements), and the embodiment of the present invention does not impose any specific limitation on this.

[0090] S204: Determine the load state of the washing device according to the first electrical parameter.

[0091] The imbalance between the hanging rods of the washing machine may be caused by the following two situations: the first is that the washing machine itself is not placed flat; the second is that the washing machine itself is placed flat, but the load (such as clothes, shoes, etc.) in the inner barrel of the washing machine is not placed flat. For the above two situations, the embodiment of the present invention can also distinguish them in the prompt information.

[0092] Specifically, any first electrical parameter can be selected to determine the load state of the washing device. The control device of the washing device can store the electrical parameter standard value corresponding to the load state being the no-load state. By comparing the first electrical parameter with the electrical parameter standard value, it can be determined whether the load state of the washing device is the no-load state or the non-no-load state.

[0093] S205. When the load state is an unloaded state, a first prompt message is issued, where the first prompt message is used to prompt the user to level the washing device.

[0094] When the load state is an empty state, it means that there is no load in the drum of the washing device. At this time, the imbalance between the suspension rods of the washing device can only be caused by the first reason mentioned above, that is, the washing device itself is not placed flat. At this time, the control device of the washing device sends a first prompt message, and the first prompt message is used to prompt the user to level the washing device.

[0095] S206. When the load state is not an empty-load state, a second prompt message is issued, and the second prompt message is used to prompt the user to level the load in the washing device.

[0096] When the load state is not an empty state, it means that there is a load in the inner barrel of the washing device. Because the inner barrel of the washing device has been tested once before the load is placed, the imbalance between the suspension rods of the washing device can only be caused by the second reason mentioned above, that is, the washing device itself is placed flat, but the load in the inner barrel of the washing device is not placed flat. The control device of the washing device sends a second prompt message, and the second prompt message is used to prompt the user to level the load in the washing device.

[0097] S207: Determine the load state of the washing device according to the first electrical parameter.

[0098] When the hanging rods of the washing device are balanced, the washing device can start to operate, such as performing various programs such as washing, rinsing, and dehydration. The method of "determining the load state of the washing device according to the first electrical parameter" in step S207 is similar to the above step S204, and the description of step S204 can be referred to, which will not be repeated here.

[0099] S280: When the load state is a non-no-load state, determine the residual water rate of the load in the washing device.

[0100] In order to avoid the problem that the residual water rate cannot be measured by the pulsator due to the load being attached to the side wall of the inner tub during dehydration, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for determining the residual water rate of the load in the washing device, which may specifically include the following four steps:

[0101] Step b1: Determine a first load corresponding to a first electrical parameter according to a preset corresponding relationship table.

[0102] Because the washing equipment must perform leveling judgments of the washing equipment itself and the load before operation, the first electrical parameter at this time is the parameter collected after the load is placed and the current is applied to the control circuit before the washing equipment is operated.

[0103] A correspondence table is preset in the control device of the washing equipment, and different values ​​of electrical parameters correspond to different load amounts. Select any first electrical parameter, or the largest first electrical parameter, or the smallest first electrical parameter, or the average value of the first electrical parameter, and find the first load amount (i.e., the weight of the load before adding water for washing) corresponding to the first electrical parameter from the correspondence table.

[0104] Step b2: Control the operation of the washing device and obtain the second electrical parameter of each control loop in real time. The second electrical parameter is a parameter collected after applying current to the control loop when the washing device performs a dehydration program.

[0105] In one embodiment, the second electrical parameter includes at least one of a resistance value, a current value, and a pressure value.

[0106] Step b3: Determine the second load corresponding to the second electrical parameter according to the corresponding relationship table.

[0107] In combination with steps b2 and b3, it can be seen that when the washing equipment executes the dehydration program, the second electrical parameter of each control loop is obtained in real time, and any second electrical parameter, or the largest second electrical parameter, or the smallest second electrical parameter, or the average value of the second electrical parameter is selected, and the second load corresponding to the second electrical parameter (i.e., the real-time weight of the load during dehydration) is obtained from the correspondence table.

[0108] Step b4: Calculate the residual water rate of the load according to the first load amount and the second load amount.

[0109] The residual water rate of the load can be calculated based on the first load and the second load. Specifically, the residual water rate of the load = (M2-M1) / M1, where M2 is the second load and M1 is the first load.

[0110] S209. Control the washing equipment according to the residual water rate.

[0111] Specifically, the method of "controlling the washing equipment according to the residual water rate" in step S209 may include the following three steps:

[0112] Step c1: Determine whether the residual water rate is less than or equal to a second preset threshold.

[0113] The value of the second preset threshold can be set according to actual needs (such as the dehydration requirements of the load), and the embodiment of the present invention does not impose specific restrictions on this. The values ​​of the second preset threshold corresponding to loads of different materials may be different.

[0114] Step c2: If the residual water rate is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, the dehydration procedure is terminated.

[0115] When the residual water rate is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, it means that the load has reached the dehydration requirement. Even if the dehydration program is not completed, the dehydration program must be terminated immediately to ensure that the load will not be damaged due to excessive dehydration.

[0116] Step c3: If the residual water rate is still greater than the second preset threshold value when the dehydration process is completed, a secondary dehydration process is performed.

[0117] When the residual water rate is still greater than the second preset threshold at the end of the dehydration program, it means that the load has not yet met the dehydration requirements. Even if the dehydration program has been completed, a second dehydration program must be performed to ensure that the load can meet the dehydration requirements.

[0118] Optionally, when the electrical parameter includes a current value, the embodiment of the present invention can also detect the operation process of the washing device. Specifically, the detection method includes: obtaining a third electrical parameter of each control loop, the third electrical parameter being a parameter collected after applying a current to the control loop when the washing device is running; generating a parameter curve based on the third electrical parameter; if the parameter curve is a preset curve, issuing an alarm message, the alarm message is used to indicate that an abnormality has occurred in the washing device.

[0119] For example, when the washing machine is running, the inner drum will rotate. At this time, if the load is uniform, the force F = mv applied to the outer drum in all directions 2 / r is uniform, and the vibration of the boom is also uniform, so the parameter curve generated by the collected current value should be sinusoidal. If the parameter curve is a preset curve (such as a straight line), it means that the drum vibration is too small, and common faults (such as motor stall, overheating protection, connecting arm / motor abnormality, etc.) may occur. At this time, the control device of the washing equipment sends an alarm message, which is used to indicate that the washing equipment is abnormal, so as to remind the user to perform maintenance in time.

[0120] In the embodiment of the present invention, the alarm information and prompt information may be voice information directly broadcast by the speaker of the washing device, or may be text information sent by the communication device of the washing device to the user device, and the embodiment of the present invention does not impose any specific limitation on this.

[0121] The embodiment of the present invention provides a control method for a washing device, comprising: obtaining the first electrical parameter of each control loop respectively, the first electrical parameter being a parameter collected after applying current to the control loop before the washing device is operated; taking any two first electrical parameters as a group, determining the offset of each group of first electrical parameters; if any offset is greater than a first preset threshold, issuing a prompt message, the prompt message is used to prompt the user to perform a leveling process. By obtaining the first electrical parameters collected after applying current to each control loop before the washing device is operated, the offset between the two is determined, and the user is prompted to perform a leveling process when any offset is greater than the first preset threshold. In this way, it is possible to give an early warning before operation whether the washing device itself needs to be leveled, or whether the load in the washing device needs to be leveled, thereby avoiding the situation where the inner barrel hits the box, ensuring the smooth operation of the washing device, extending the service life of the washing device, and improving the user's experience. At the same time, the structure of the control loop is simple and easy to implement, so that the overall cost of the washing device is controllable. In addition, the solution provided by the present invention can also determine the residual water rate of the load when executing the dehydration program, and control the washing equipment based on the residual water rate, thereby ensuring that the load can meet the dehydration requirements without damaging the load itself, which has good economic significance.
