In addition, those skilled in the art can combine and combine different embodiments or examples described in the present application and the features of different embodiments or examples without contradiction.

[0060] As one of the most frequently used household appliances, washing machines can no longer meet users' needs with just basic washing. Achieving sterilization is something the public eagerly anticipates. Currently available washing machines employ various sterilization methods, such as ozone sterilization, but this cannot avoid the drawback of ozone causing clothes to yellow; and UV lamp sterilization, but the lamp can only be installed above the door seal, and the distance from the clothes results in negligible sterilization effect.

[0061] In addition, after each dehydration cycle, residual water remains at the corrugated pipe connecting the water pump and the drum. The drain pump cannot completely remove all of this water, which contains lint, dirt, bacteria, etc., and will develop an odor over time. Placing the electrolysis device at the corrugated pipe connecting the water pump and the drum, and turning on the electrolysis module after each cycle, can remove the odor and solve the odor problem.

[0062] This application provides a washing device and its control method, control apparatus, and storage medium to solve the problem of strong odor caused by residual water after dehydration in existing washing devices. The following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-10 Please provide an explanation.

[0063] It should be noted that the washing equipment in this application embodiment can be a washing machine, a washer-dryer set, or a washer-dryer combo, etc.

[0064] For example, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the washing equipment includes a washing drum 100, a drain pump 200 and a motor. The outlet of the washing drum 100 is provided with a corrugated pipe 110. The drain pump 200 is connected to the washing drum 100 through the corrugated pipe 110. An electrolysis device 300 is installed in the corrugated pipe 110 and is used to electrolyze the water in the corrugated pipe 110.

[0065] It is understood that in this embodiment, the washing drum 100 is used to load clothes to be washed, the drain pump 200 is usually located below the washing drum 100, and can be used to extract and discharge the sewage in the washing drum 100. The corrugated pipe 110 is used to connect the water outlet of the washing drum 100 and the drain pump 200. The corrugated pipe 110 is a flexible pipe that allows for a certain degree of bending and expansion, which can better adapt to the vibration and displacement of the washing drum 100 during the washing process and reduce the stress caused by temperature changes or mechanical movement.

[0066] Due to the structural characteristics of the corrugated pipe 110, water tends to remain inside the corrugated pipe 110 after the washing equipment has finished dehydrating. By installing an electrolysis device 300 inside the corrugated pipe 110, the water remaining inside the corrugated pipe 110 can be electrolyzed and sterilized after dehydration. This can quickly kill bacteria and viruses inside the corrugated pipe 110, effectively decompose organic matter, reduce the accumulation of dirt and lint, and thus reduce the generation of odors.

[0067] Exemplarily, the drainage pump 200 can include a motor and a pump body, which can be a centrifugal pump or other type of water pump, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitation thereto.

[0068] In an optional embodiment, the washing drum 100 includes an inner drum and an outer drum, and the drainage pump 200 is configured to draw water flow and circulate the water flow between the inner drum and the outer drum, so as to ensure that the detergent is fully mixed with the laundry, and improve the washing uniformity and efficiency. Meanwhile, the electrolysis device 300 can electrolyze the water during the washing process, and the active substances (such as ozone O3, singlet oxygen O, hydrogen peroxide H2O2, etc.) generated by electrolysis can kill bacteria and viruses on the laundry, improve the cleaning effect, and the active substances generated during electrolysis can help to decompose stubborn stains on the laundry, and improve the cleaning degree.

[0069] Since there is residual water at the corrugated pipe 110 connected between the drainage pump 200 and the washing drum 100 after each dehydration, the drainage pump 200 cannot drain all the residual water, and there are lint, dirt, bacteria, etc. in the water, which can cause odor after a long time. The electrolysis device 300 is placed at the corrugated pipe 110 connected between the drainage pump 200 and the washing drum 100, and the electrolysis module is turned on after each program ends, which can achieve the effect of removing odor.

[0070] In an optional embodiment, in addition to turning on the electrolysis device 300 to electrolyze the residual water at the corrugated pipe 110 after the washing ends, the electrolysis device 300 can also be turned on to sterilize during the washing and rinsing processes of the washing equipment.

[0071] Since the washing drum 100 is constantly rotating during the washing and rinsing processes of the washing equipment, and the water at the corrugated pipe 110 is connected with the water in the washing drum 100, the washing drum 100 forms a centrifugal force when rotating, which drives the water in the washing drum 100 to rotate, thereby bringing the electrolyzed water in the corrugated pipe 110 into the washing drum 100. After the electrolyzed water enters the washing drum 100, it will mix with the laundry and water in the drum, thereby transferring the sterilization and cleaning effects of electrolysis to the entire water body in the washing drum 100, achieving the sterilization effect on the laundry, washing water and rinsing water, and enhancing the cleaning and disinfection effect on the laundry.

[0072] In an optional embodiment, the electrolysis device 300 can be combined with the washing equipment to achieve the following effects: Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the side wall of the bellows 110 is provided with a first mounting groove 111, the electrolytic device 300 includes a mounting shell 310, an electrode sheet 320 and a plug 330, the mounting shell 310 is inserted into the first mounting groove 111 to mount the electrolytic device 300 to the bellows 110, the electrode sheet 320 is mounted in the mounting shell 310, and the plug 330 is connected to the electrode sheet 320. The plug 330 is used to connect to the power supply to supply power to the electrode sheet 320, and when the mounting shell 310 is mounted in the first mounting groove 111, the plug 330 is located outside the bellows 110.

[0073] In this embodiment, the side wall of the bellows 110 is provided with a first mounting groove 111, the mounting shell 310 is the main mounting part of the electrolytic device 300, which is designed to be inserted into the first mounting groove 111 of the side wall of the bellows 110, and the electrode sheet 320 is mounted in the mounting shell 310 and is the component that generates chemical reactions in the electrolysis process. The plug 330 is connected to the electrode sheet 320 and is used to connect the electrode sheet 320 to the external power supply, and the position of the plug 330 is designed to be outside the bellows 110 to facilitate the connection to the power supply.

[0074] The electrode sheet 320 can efficiently electrolyze water into high-purity oxygen water: a series of substances with strong oxidation-reduction ability, such as hydroxyl radical ·OH, ozone O3, singlet oxygen O, and hydrogen peroxide H2O2, etc. With extremely high oxidation-reduction potential, it can effectively kill and degrade bacteria, viruses and organic pollutants in a very short time, achieving a sterilization rate of 99.99%, and can quickly remove odors.

[0075] When installing the electrolytic device 300, first insert the mounting shell 310 into the first mounting groove 111 of the side wall of the bellows 110, and ensure that the mounting shell 310 is firmly fixed on the bellows 110 and will not fall off due to the vibration of the washing machine. The electrode sheet 320 is located inside the mounting shell 310 and in contact with or close to the inner wall of the bellows 110 to electrolyze the water in the pipe. The plug 330 is connected to the power supply through the outside of the bellows 110 to supply power to the electrode sheet 320.

[0076] By inserting the mounting shell 310 into the first mounting groove 111 of the side wall of the bellows 110, the installation of the electrolytic device 300 becomes simple and fast, and it is also convenient for maintenance and replacement. The design of the mounting shell 310 does not affect the normal stretching and bending function of the bellows 110, ensuring the smoothness of the drainage system. The electrode sheet 320 of the electrolytic device 300 is located inside the mounting shell 310, which can effectively prevent direct contact by the user and improve the safety of use. The plug 330 is located outside the bellows 110, making it more convenient to connect to the power supply, and avoiding direct contact between electrical components and water, reducing the risk of electric shock.

[0077] Optionally, the installation shell 310 can be made of a corrosion-resistant material to adapt to the humid washing environment, and the material of the electrode sheet 320 needs to have good electrochemical performance and corrosion resistance.

[0078] Illustratively, the electrolysis device 300 is installed at the bottom or near the bottom of the corrugated pipe 110, facilitating electrolysis of the accumulated water, effectively killing bacteria and viruses, and reducing the generation of odors.

[0079] After the washing machine completes the washing and dehydration procedures, a certain amount of accumulated water will remain below the corrugated pipe 110. After the control system detects the accumulated water, it can automatically or manually start the electrolysis device 300, which electrolyzes the accumulated water, killing bacteria and viruses and degrading organic pollutants.

[0080] In an alternative embodiment, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the washing device further includes a turbidity sensor 400 and a controller. The turbidity sensor 400 is used to detect the turbidity information of the water flow in the corrugated pipe 110, and the controller is connected to the turbidity sensor 400 and the electrolysis device 300 to control the electrolysis device 300 to work when the turbidity information is greater than a preset turbidity level.

[0081] In this embodiment, the turbidity sensor 400 is used to detect the concentration of suspended particles in the water, thereby measuring the transparency or turbidity of the water. The turbidity sensor 400 can be composed of optical elements, which determine the turbidity by emitting a light beam and detecting the degree of attenuation of the light beam as it passes through the water.

[0082] When the clothes are washed, the stains and lint in the water will cause the turbidity to rise. During the washing process, the turbidity sensor 400 monitors the turbidity information of the water flow in the corrugated pipe 110 in real time and transmits the detected turbidity information to the controller. The controller compares the received turbidity information with the preset turbidity level threshold value, and if the turbidity information is greater than the preset turbidity level, the controller determines that the electrolysis device 300 needs to be started to process the water quality. The controller sends a signal to the electrolysis device 300 to start the electrolysis process, and the electrolysis device 300 starts to work to electrolyze the water in the corrugated pipe 110, killing bacteria, viruses and degrading organic pollutants.

[0083] Through the turbidity sensor 400 and the controller, the washing device can automatically adjust the cleaning and disinfection process according to the actual water quality, realize intelligent cleaning, and start the electrolysis device 300 only when necessary, which can save energy and prolong the service life of the electrolysis device 300, avoiding the effect of device failure caused by long-term operation of the electrolysis device 300.

[0084] In an alternative embodiment, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the side wall of the bellows 110 is provided with a second mounting groove 120, the turbidity sensor 400 includes a connector 410 and a probe 420, the connector 410 is inserted into the second mounting groove 120, the connector 410 is used to be connected with the controller, the probe 420 is installed on the connector 410, and the probe 420 is located in the bellows 110. The probe 420 works by being powered through the connector 410 to detect turbidity, and then feeds back the turbidity signal to the controller through the connector 410.

[0085] The washing equipment provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises a washing cylinder 100, a drainage pump 200 and an electrolytic device 300. The water outlet of the washing cylinder 100 is provided with a bellows 110. The drainage pump 200 is connected with the washing cylinder 100 through the bellows 110. The electrolytic device 300 is arranged on the bellows 110 and used for electrolyzing water in the bellows 110. After dehydration of the washing equipment is completed, there is usually some accumulated water in the bellows 110 at the connection position of the drainage pump 200 and the washing cylinder 100. The accumulated water is electrolyzed by the electrolytic device 300 arranged on the bellows 110. The accumulated water can be effectively killed and degraded in a very short time, and the peculiar smell can be quickly removed, thereby improving the use experience of the user.

[0086] In a second aspect, the embodiment of the present application provides a control method of a washing equipment, which is applied to the washing equipment of the above-mentioned embodiment, and the control method comprises the steps of Figure 7 As shown, the control method comprises the steps of

[0087] S701: acquiring first turbidity information of water flow in the bellows;

[0088] The turbidity sensor probe is located in the bellows and used for monitoring the turbidity of the water flow in real time. When the water flow passes through the probe, the sensor measures the attenuation degree of the light beam and converts the information into an electric signal. The controller receives the electric signal and converts it into the first turbidity information.

[0089] S702: controlling the electrolytic device to work in the case that the first turbidity information is greater than a first preset turbidity.

[0090] If the first turbidity information is greater than the first preset turbidity, the controller determines that the water quality is poor and needs to be cleaned and disinfected. The controller sends a signal to the electrolytic device to start the electrolysis process to kill bacteria, viruses and degrade organic pollutants.

[0091] In the mode that the turbidity sensor and the electrolytic device are matched, the working time of the electrolytic device is adjusted through the turbidity. When high turbidity is detected, the start of the electrolytic device helps to more thoroughly clean the clothes and improve the washing degree. The washing equipment can automatically adjust the cleaning process according to the actual water quality without the intervention of the user. Moreover, the electrolytic device is started according to the actual need, which reduces unnecessary wear of the electrolytic device and prolongs the service life of the equipment.

[0092] In an optional embodiment, after the electrolysis device is controlled to work, the control method further comprises: obtaining second turbidity information of the water flow in the bellows; in the case that the second turbidity information is less than a second preset turbidity, turning off the electrolysis device; obtaining a rinsing duration of the washing equipment; in the case that the rinsing duration is less than a preset duration, continuing to run the rinsing program until the rinsing duration is equal to the preset duration; in the case that the rinsing duration is greater than or equal to the preset duration, controlling the washing equipment to enter a dehydration program.

[0093] After the electrolysis device has worked for a period of time, the turbidity sensor continues to monitor the turbidity of the water flow in the bellows, i.e., the second turbidity information, for evaluating the working effect of the electrolysis device. In the case that the second turbidity information is less than a second preset turbidity, it indicates that the water quality has reached the cleaning standard, and the controller will turn off the electrolysis device to save energy and prevent over-treatment.

[0094] The controller obtains the duration of the current rinsing program from the timing system of the washing equipment. If the rinsing duration has not reached the preset minimum rinsing duration, the controller will continue to run the rinsing program. The rinsing program will continue until the rinsing duration is equal to the preset minimum rinsing duration, ensuring that the clothes are sufficiently rinsed. Once the rinsing duration reaches or exceeds the preset minimum rinsing duration, the controller will instruct the washing equipment to enter a dehydration program, which will extract the moisture from the clothes, completing the washing cycle.

[0095] By continuously monitoring and comparing the turbidity information, the working of the electrolysis device can be intelligently adjusted to avoid unnecessary operations. By monitoring the rinsing duration, the control method can ensure that each stage of the washing cycle is properly treated, optimizing the washing effect and improving the overall reliability and user experience of the washing equipment.

[0096] In an optional embodiment, before obtaining the first turbidity information of the water flow in the bellows, the control method further comprises: obtaining a washing progress of the washing equipment; in the case that the washing progress is that the washing equipment is in a washing program, performing the step of obtaining the first turbidity information of the water flow in the bellows.

[0097] By monitoring the turbidity at a specific washing stage, the control method can more accurately judge the water quality and make more appropriate control decisions. By monitoring the turbidity only at the washing stage, unnecessary resources and energy are avoided at unnecessary time points. By monitoring the water quality in real time during the washing process, washing parameters can also be adjusted in a timely manner to improve the washing degree and washing efficiency.

[0098] In an optional embodiment, after the control device enters the dehydration program, the control method further comprises: starting a timer after the dehydration program is completed, and controlling the electrolysis device to work after the timer reaches a preset interval time; and turning off the electrolysis device after the working time of the electrolysis device reaches a preset working time.

[0099] Optionally, the preset interval time can be 30s, 60s or other values, ensuring that the residual water has enough time to flow into the bellows after dehydration is completed. The controller then starts the motor device to electrolyze the accumulated water in the bellows to kill bacteria and viruses and prevent the generation of odors. When the electrolysis device is working, the controller continues to monitor the running time, and when the working time of the electrolysis device reaches a preset working time (for example, 2min, 3min, etc.), the controller will turn off the electrolysis device to prevent over-treatment and energy waste, and at the same time protect the electrolysis device from the influence of long-time operation.

[0100] In an optional embodiment, referring to FIG. 6, the control method of the washing device comprises: Figure 8
