[0044] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] Reference Figure 1The diagram shows a flowchart of a control method based on a water softening device in a washing machine according to some embodiments of the present invention. The water softening device is provided with a receiving cavity, a resin loading cavity and an ion detector are provided in the receiving cavity, and the resin loading cavity is filled with resin.

[0046] like Figure 2 The present invention provides a schematic diagram of a water softening device in a washing machine according to some embodiments. The water softening device may include a detergent box 1, a water box 2, a water inlet 3, an upper cavity 4, a resin loading cavity cover 5, an upper drain outlet 6, an intermediate connecting part 7, a resin loading cavity 8, a gasket 9, a lower cavity 10, an ion detector mounting box 11, and a lower drain outlet 12.

[0047] The upper cavity 4, the resin loading cavity cover 5, the intermediate connecting part 7, the resin loading cavity 8, the gasket 9, the lower cavity 10, and the ion detector mounting box 11 can form a receiving cavity.

[0048] An ion detector can be installed in the ion detector mounting box 11 to detect water quality. The resin loading chamber 8 is filled with resin, which can be used to soften water and remove minerals (such as calcium and magnesium) from the water to protect the internal components of the washing machine from the effects of hard water, improve the washing effect, and extend the service life of the washing machine.

[0049] As examples, the water softening device is located between the outer tub and the water inlet of the washing machine. The water softening device is fixed to the outer tub of the washing machine by clamps. During the washing process, the slight vibration frequency of the washing machine's own movement can drive the water inside the water softening device to vibrate, accelerate the irregular movement of molecules, and increase the ion exchange rate inside the water softening device.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, the water softening device is provided with an inlet 3, an upper drain outlet 6, and a lower drain outlet 12 communicating with the accommodating cavity; the inlet 3 is connected to the water inlet device of the washing machine, the upper drain outlet 3 is connected to the outer tub of the washing machine, and the lower drain outlet 12 is connected to the drain device of the washing machine. This allows the water softening device to discharge wastewater when it restores its ability to regenerate resin, and allows the liquid accumulated inside the water softening device to be discharged through the rinsing pipe after washing, preventing dirt from accumulating in the drain device and causing bacteria to grow.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, the ion detector is disposed at one end of the cavity of the accommodating cavity near the lower drain outlet 12.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, the water softening device is provided with an upper shell, a lower shell, and an intermediate connecting part 7 connecting the upper shell and the lower shell. The upper cavity 4 is disposed in the upper shell, and the lower cavity 10 is disposed in the lower shell and the intermediate connecting part 7.

[0053] The water softening device includes an upper shell, a lower shell, and an intermediate connecting part 7 that connects the upper shell and the lower shell. The upper shell and the intermediate connecting part are connected to form an upper cavity 4, and the lower shell and the intermediate connecting part are connected to form a lower cavity 10.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, the water inlet 3 is disposed on the upper shell, the upper drain outlet 6 is disposed on the intermediate connecting part, and the lower drain outlet 12 is disposed on the lower shell.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, the intermediate connecting portion 7 is connected to the upper shell portion and the lower shell portion by means of a washer.

[0056] In some examples, the upper shell can be connected to the intermediate connecting part 7 via a gasket to form an upper cavity 4; the lower shell can be connected to the intermediate connecting part 7 via a gasket 9 to form a lower cavity 10, and the connection part is sealed by a gasket to prevent liquid from overflowing.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, the intermediate connecting part 7 is connected to the cavity of the resin loading cavity by means of threads.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, the accommodating cavity includes an upper cavity 4 and a lower cavity 10, which are isolated from each other; the resin loading cavity has a cover (resin loading cavity cover 5) and a loading cavity, the cover 5 being located in the upper cavity 4 and the loading cavity being located in the lower cavity 10, and the cover 5 and the loading cavity are provided with through holes. Through the through holes in the cover and the loading cavity, whose diameter is smaller than the resin particle size, water can easily and fully react with the regenerated resin inside the resin loading cavity.

[0059] Specifically, it may include the following steps:

[0060] Step 101: In response to the start of the washing program, water is introduced into the accommodating cavity.

[0061] In practical applications, a washing program refers to a series of preset operations in smart home devices (such as washing machines) used to clean clothes.

[0062] The term "containment chamber" refers to the cavity within a water softening device used for storing and treating water, such as... Figure 2 The accommodating cavity can be composed of an upper cavity 4, a resin loading cavity cover 5, an intermediate connecting part 7, a resin loading cavity 8, a gasket 9, a lower cavity 10, and an ion detector mounting box 11.

[0063] As examples, once the washing program is started, the washing machine can control the water inlet valve to open, allowing water to flow through the inlet device carrying detergent from the detergent dispenser into the containment chamber to soften the water.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, the step of introducing water into the accommodating cavity in response to the start of the washing program includes: closing the lower drain outlet and opening the upper drain outlet in response to the start of the washing program, and introducing water into the accommodating cavity through the water inlet.

[0065] like Figure 2 After the washing program starts, the smart home device will first close the lower drain outlet 12 of the water softening device to prevent water from flowing out of the container during the water inlet stage; at the same time, the smart home device will open the upper drain outlet 6 to allow air to escape during the water inlet stage to help water flow into the container more smoothly; then, it will control the water inlet valve to open, allowing water to flow into the container through the water inlet 3 of the water softening device to soften the water.

[0066] Step 102: Detect the ion content of water in the accommodating cavity using the ion detector.

[0067] An ion detector is an instrument that measures the concentration of ions in water. It can detect the ion content in water using electrochemical or optical principles. Ion content refers to the total amount of ions in water or the concentration of specific ions, such as calcium and magnesium ions.

[0068] like Figure 2 After the washing program starts and water enters the container, the water in the container can be detected by the ion detector in the ion detector installation box 11 at the bottom of the container to obtain specific information on the ion content in the water.

[0069] As examples, when the content of metal ions such as calcium and magnesium in the water in the container is low, the washing machine will normally take in water and run the washing program. After the spin-drying is completed, the second outlet of the softening water device will be opened for 10 minutes (e.g., 10 minutes) to flush the washing machine's drain device and then the operation will end.

[0070] Step 103: When the ion content is greater than the preset content, a message is sent to remind the user to add salt.

[0071] The preset content refers to the standard value of ion content that is set or specified in advance. The preset content can be determined according to factors such as actual application needs and water quality standards. For example, the preset content can be 0-100 mg / L. When the actual measured ion content exceeds this standard, it means that the water needs to be softened.

[0072] After detecting that the ion content of the water in the container chamber is greater than the preset content, the user can be reminded that the current ion content of the water has exceeded the preset standard, and the user can be advised to adjust or improve it by adding salt to the water softening device.

[0073] Adding salt can increase the concentration of certain ions in the water (such as sodium chloride). Sodium ions in the brine are key to regenerating the resin. They can replace calcium and magnesium ions on the resin, restoring it to its initial state. The brine not only provides enough sodium ions to regenerate the resin, but also helps to remove impurities from the resin loading chamber, reducing contamination and ensuring that the resin's exchange capacity is restored to the maximum extent.

[0074] As examples, when the ion detector below the containment chamber shows that the calcium and magnesium ion content is too high (when the ion content is greater than the preset content), the washing machine can sound an alarm to remind the user to add salt, and at the same time the first outlet pipe of the water softening device is closed.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, after sending a message to remind the user to add salt when the ion content is greater than a preset content, the method further includes: when salt addition is detected to be completed, re-executing the step of detecting the ion content of the water in the accommodating cavity through the ion detector; and when salt addition is not detected to be completed, draining the water in the accommodating cavity to the outer tub of the washing machine.

[0076] After receiving a notification reminding the user to add salt, the user can add salt to the water inlet and turn off the alarm. When the washing machine detects that salt addition is complete, it can open the water inlet valve, fill the water for N minutes (e.g., 5 minutes), and then close the water inlet valve. This allows the salt added by the user to mix with the water, and the mixed salt water is allowed to stand in the container for M minutes (e.g., 5 minutes) to allow the resin in the resin loading chamber and the salt water to come into full contact and react.

[0077] If the alarm continues to sound after the user is reminded to add salt but the user does not add salt (i.e., salt addition is not detected), the washing machine can automatically start the normal washing program after N minutes (e.g., 3 minutes) and drain the water in the containment chamber into the outer tub of the washing machine through the first water outlet.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, the step of feeding back a message to remind the user to add salt when the ion content is greater than a preset content includes: feeding back a message to remind the user to add salt when the ion content is greater than a preset content, and closing the upper drain outlet.

[0079] In practical applications, when the ion content exceeds the preset level, after receiving a message to remind the user to add salt, the washing machine can close the top drain to prevent hard water from entering the outer tub.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, the step of detecting the ion content of the water in the accommodating cavity again by passing the ion detector when salt addition is detected to be complete includes: when salt addition is detected to be complete, water is introduced into the accommodating cavity through the water inlet so that the water in the accommodating cavity covers the resin loading cavity; after standing for a preset time, the lower drain outlet is opened to drain the water in the accommodating cavity; water is introduced into the accommodating cavity through the water inlet so that the water in the accommodating cavity covers the resin loading cavity, and the step of detecting the ion content of the water in the accommodating cavity by passing the ion detector again is performed.

[0081] In some examples, the preset duration can be determined based on the ion content in the water. If the ion content is greater than or equal to 250 mg / L, the preset duration can be 10 minutes. If the ion content is greater than or equal to 100 mg / L and less than or equal to 150 mg / L, the preset duration can be 5 minutes. Those skilled in the art can adjust it according to the actual situation.

[0082] After receiving a notification reminding the user to add salt, the user can add salt to the water inlet and turn off the alarm. When the washing machine detects that salt addition is complete, it can open the water inlet valve and let water flow into the container cavity through the water inlet device and inlet for N minutes (e.g., 5 minutes). Then, it will close the water inlet valve to allow the water in the container cavity to cover the resin loading cavity and allow the salt added by the user to mix with the water. The mixed salt water will then be left to stand in the container cavity for M minutes (e.g., 5 minutes) to allow the resin in the resin loading cavity to come into full contact with the salt water and react.

[0083] After the preset set time has elapsed, the washing machine can open the bottom drain and drain water for D minutes (e.g., 2 minutes). After draining the water containing a large amount of calcium and magnesium ions from the container, the washing machine can close the bottom drain and reopen the water inlet valve to allow water to enter the container through the water inlet device and inlet for N minutes (e.g., 2 minutes). Then, the washing machine can close the water inlet valve and re-detect the ion content of the water in the container using the ion detector.

[0084] Step 103: When the ion content is less than or equal to a preset content, the water in the accommodating cavity is drained into the outer tub of the washing machine.

[0085] In practical applications, if the ion detector detects that the ion content of the water in the containment cavity is less than or equal to the preset content, the washing machine can open the top drain outlet to discharge the water in the containment cavity to the outer tub of the washing machine for washing.

[0086] In this embodiment of the invention, water is introduced into the container cavity in response to the start of the washing program; the ion content of the water in the container cavity is detected by an ion detector; when the ion content is greater than a preset content, a message is sent to remind the user to add salt; when the ion content is less than or equal to the preset content, the water in the container cavity is discharged to the outer tub of the washing machine. This achieves the function of detecting water quality through an ion detector in the washing machine, thereby providing the washing machine with water with lower hardness to protect clothes, improve washing effect and increase the service life of the washing machine.

[0087] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 3 The present invention will be further described as follows:

[0088] Step 301: Start the washing program.

[0089] Step 302: Close the lower drain outlet of the water softening device and open the upper drain outlet.

[0090] Step 303: Water enters the water softening device. The ion detector checks whether the ion concentration (ion content) exceeds the standard. If yes, proceed to step 304; otherwise, proceed to step 312.

[0091] Step 304: Activate the alarm to remind the user to add salt, and close the drain outlet on the water softening device.

[0092] Step 305: Determine if the user has added salt and turned off the alarm button. If yes, proceed to step 306. If the user does not respond, open the drain outlet on the water softener and proceed to step 312.

[0093] Step 306: Open the water inlet valve and let water in for N minutes.

[0094] Step 307: Close the inlet valve and let the tap water stand in the softening water device for M minutes.

[0095] Step 308: Open the drain outlet of the softened water device for S minutes, then close the drain outlet.

[0096] Step 309: Open the water inlet valve for N minutes.

[0097] Step 310: The ion detector checks whether the ion levels exceed the limit. If yes, proceed to step 308; otherwise, proceed to step 311.

[0098] Step 311: Close the lower drain outlet of the water softening device and open the upper drain outlet.

[0099] Step 312: Start the washing program.

[0100] Step 313: After dehydration is complete, open the drain outlet of the softened water device for S minutes.

[0111] In some embodiments of the present invention, the intermediate connecting portion 7 is connected to the upper shell portion and the lower shell portion by means of a washer.

[0113] In some embodiments of the present invention, the intermediate connecting part 7 is connected to the cavity of the resin loading cavity by means of threads.

[0114] In some embodiments of the present invention, the accommodating cavity includes an upper cavity 4 and a lower cavity 10, which are isolated from each other; the resin loading cavity has a cover (resin loading cavity cover 5) and a loading cavity, the cover 5 being located in the upper cavity 4 and the loading cavity being located in the lower cavity 10, and the cover 5 and the loading cavity are provided with through holes. Through the through holes in the cover and the loading cavity, whose diameter is smaller than the resin particle size, water can easily and fully react with the regenerated resin inside the resin loading cavity.

[0115] Specifically, it may include the following steps:

[0116] Step 401: In response to the start of the washing program, water is introduced into the accommodating cavity.

[0117] In practical applications, a washing program refers to a series of preset operations in smart home devices (such as washing machines) used to clean clothes.

[0118] The term "containment chamber" refers to the cavity within a water softening device used for storing and treating water, such as... Figure 2 The accommodating cavity can be composed of an upper cavity 4, a resin loading cavity cover 5, an intermediate connecting part 7, a resin loading cavity 8, a gasket 9, a lower cavity 10, and an ion detector mounting box 11.

[0119] As examples, once the washing program is started, the washing machine can control the water inlet valve to open, allowing water to flow through the inlet device carrying detergent from the detergent dispenser into the containment chamber to soften the water.

[0120] In some embodiments of the present invention, the step of introducing water into the accommodating cavity in response to the start of the washing program includes: closing the lower drain outlet and opening the upper drain outlet in response to the start of the washing program, and introducing water into the accommodating cavity through the water inlet.

[0122] Step 402: Detect the ion content of water in the accommodating cavity using the ion detector.

[0123] An ion detector is an instrument that measures the concentration of ions in water. It can detect the ion content in water using electrochemical or optical principles. Ion content refers to the total amount of ions in water or the concentration of specific ions, such as calcium and magnesium ions.

[0124] like Figure 2 After the washing program starts and water enters the container, the water in the container can be detected by the ion detector in the ion detector installation box 11 at the bottom of the container to obtain specific information on the ion content in the water.

[0125] As examples, when the content of metal ions such as calcium and magnesium in the water in the container is low, the washing machine will normally take in water and run the washing program. After the spin-drying is completed, the second outlet of the softening water device will be opened for 10 minutes (e.g., 10 minutes) to flush the washing machine's drain device and then the operation will end.

[0126] Step 403: When the ion content is greater than the preset content, a message is sent to remind the user to add salt.

[0127] The preset content refers to the standard value of ion content that is set or specified in advance. The preset content can be determined according to factors such as actual application needs and water quality standards. For example, the preset content can be 0-100 mg / L. When the actual measured ion content exceeds this standard, it means that the water needs to be softened.

[0128] After detecting that the ion content of the water in the container chamber is greater than the preset content, the user can be reminded that the current ion content of the water has exceeded the preset standard, and the user can be advised to adjust or improve it by adding salt to the water softening device.

[0129] Adding salt can increase the concentration of certain ions in the water (such as sodium chloride). Sodium ions in the brine are key to regenerating the resin. They can replace calcium and magnesium ions on the resin, restoring it to its initial state. The brine not only provides enough sodium ions to regenerate the resin, but also helps to remove impurities from the resin loading chamber, reducing contamination and ensuring that the resin's exchange capacity is restored to the maximum extent.

[0130] As examples, when the ion detector below the containment chamber shows that the calcium and magnesium ion content is too high (when the ion content is greater than the preset content), the washing machine can sound an alarm to remind the user to add salt, and at the same time the first outlet pipe of the water softening device is closed.

[0131] Step 404: When salt addition is detected as complete, the step of detecting the ion content of the water in the accommodating cavity by the ion detector is performed again; when salt addition is not detected as complete, the water in the accommodating cavity is drained into the outer tub of the washing machine.

[0132] After receiving a notification reminding the user to add salt, the user can add salt to the water inlet and turn off the alarm. When the washing machine detects that salt addition is complete, it can open the water inlet valve, fill the water for N minutes (e.g., 5 minutes), and then close the water inlet valve. This allows the salt added by the user to mix with the water, and the mixed salt water is allowed to stand in the container for M minutes (e.g., 5 minutes) to allow the resin in the resin loading chamber and the salt water to come into full contact and react.

[0133] If the alarm continues to sound after the user is reminded to add salt but the user does not add salt (i.e., salt addition is not detected), the washing machine can automatically start the normal washing program after N minutes (e.g., 3 minutes) and drain the water in the containment chamber into the outer tub of the washing machine through the first water outlet.

[0134] In some embodiments of the present invention, the step of feeding back a message to remind the user to add salt when the ion content is greater than a preset content includes: feeding back a message to remind the user to add salt when the ion content is greater than a preset content, and closing the upper drain outlet.

[0135] In practical applications, when the ion content exceeds the preset level, after receiving a message to remind the user to add salt, the washing machine can close the top drain to prevent hard water from entering the outer tub.

[0136] In some embodiments of the present invention, the step of detecting the ion content of the water in the accommodating cavity again by passing the ion detector when salt addition is detected to be complete includes: when salt addition is detected to be complete, water is introduced into the accommodating cavity through the water inlet so that the water in the accommodating cavity covers the resin loading cavity; after standing for a preset time, the lower drain outlet is opened to drain the water in the accommodating cavity; water is introduced into the accommodating cavity through the water inlet so that the water in the accommodating cavity covers the resin loading cavity, and the step of detecting the ion content of the water in the accommodating cavity by passing the ion detector again is performed.

[0137] In some examples, the preset duration can be determined based on the ion content in the water. If the ion content is greater than or equal to 250 mg / L, the preset duration can be 10 minutes. If the ion content is greater than or equal to 100 mg / L and less than or equal to 150 mg / L, the preset duration can be 5 minutes. Those skilled in the art can adjust it according to the actual situation.

[0138] After receiving a notification reminding the user to add salt, the user can add salt to the water inlet and turn off the alarm. When the washing machine detects that salt addition is complete, it can open the water inlet valve and let water flow into the container cavity through the water inlet device and inlet for N minutes (e.g., 5 minutes). Then, it will close the water inlet valve to allow the water in the container cavity to cover the resin loading cavity and allow the salt added by the user to mix with the water. The mixed salt water will then be left to stand in the container cavity for M minutes (e.g., 5 minutes) to allow the resin in the resin loading cavity to come into full contact with the salt water and react.

[0139] After the preset set time has elapsed, the washing machine can open the bottom drain and drain water for D minutes (e.g., 2 minutes). After draining the water containing a large amount of calcium and magnesium ions from the container, the washing machine can close the bottom drain and reopen the water inlet valve to allow water to enter the container through the water inlet device and inlet for N minutes (e.g., 2 minutes). Then, the washing machine can close the water inlet valve and re-detect the ion content of the water in the container using the ion detector.

[0140] Step 405: When the ion content is less than or equal to a preset content, the water in the accommodating cavity is discharged to the outer tub of the washing machine.

[0141] In practical applications, if the ion detector detects that the ion content of the water in the containment cavity is less than or equal to the preset content, the washing machine can open the top drain outlet to discharge the water in the containment cavity to the outer tub of the washing machine for washing.

[0142] In this embodiment of the invention, water is introduced into the container cavity in response to the start of the washing program; the ion content of the water in the container cavity is detected by an ion detector; when the ion content is greater than a preset content, a message is sent to remind the user to add salt; when salt addition is detected to be complete, the ion content of the water in the container cavity is detected again by the ion detector; when salt addition is not detected to be complete, the water in the container cavity is drained into the outer tub of the washing machine; when the ion content is less than or equal to the preset content, the water in the container cavity is drained into the outer tub of the washing machine; when the ion content is less than or equal to the preset content, the water in the container cavity is drained into the outer tub of the washing machine. This achieves the function of detecting the ion content through the ion detector of the water softening device in the washing machine, reminding the user to add salt when the ion content is high, and thus providing the washing machine with water with lower hardness through the water softening device, thereby protecting clothes, improving washing effect and increasing the service life of the washing machine.
