In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B; "and / or" in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in order to facilitate the clear description of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, in the embodiments of the present application, the words "first", "second" and so on are used to distinguish between the same items or similar items with basically the same functions and effects. Those skilled in the art can understand that the words "first", "second" and so on do not limit the quantity and execution order, and the words "first", "second" and so on do not limit certain different

[0074] In addition, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements explicitly listed, but may include other steps or elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0075] First, the terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are introduced.

[0076] Clothing processing equipment: refers to equipment that can process loads such as clothing, where the loads, in addition to clothing, can also be pants, shoes, hats and other objects that have the same processing requirements as clothing. In this embodiment, clothing is used to replace them uniformly, where processing includes washing, drying, care, etc. Common clothing processing equipment includes washing machines, dryers, clothing care machines, etc.

[0077] Lifting ribs: refers to the structure in the processing drum that is used to contact, collide or rub with the clothes, or change the distribution of the clothes.

[0078] Clothes processing equipment is an indispensable device in daily life. It can perform such processing as washing, dehydrating, drying, and caring for clothes, greatly improving the convenience of clothing processing. With the development of technology and the increase in user needs, the processing accuracy of clothes by clothing processing equipment has also improved. Taking washing machines as an example, current washing machines usually perform some detection actions before processing clothes, such as identifying the material of the clothes, the entanglement of the clothes, the dirtiness of the water, etc., so that the washing machine will use different processing parameters in different situations, which helps to improve the processing effect of clothes.

[0079] At present, different testing instruments are used for different testing purposes, which increases the testing cost of washing machines.

[0080] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a lifting rib, taking the lifting rib applied to a processing drum of a clothes processing device as an example, referring to Figure 1-7 As shown, the lifting rib includes a lifting rib body 1 and a rotating platform 2;

[0081] The lifting rib body 1 comprises: a convex wall 11 protruding from the inner wall of the treatment tube toward the inside of the treatment tube, and an installation space formed by the convex wall 11, wherein the convex wall 11 comprises a first wall 111 away from the inner wall of the treatment tube and a second wall 112 extending from the first wall 111 toward the inner wall of the treatment tube;

[0082] The rotating platform 2 is rotatably arranged in the installation space, and a detection member 3 for optical signal detection is arranged on the rotating platform 2. The detection member 3 rotates with the rotating platform 2 and at different rotation positions, the detection member 3 emits and / or receives optical signals in different directions;

[0083] The convex wall 11 has a light-transmitting portion at least in a portion opposite to the detection element 3 for the detection element 3 to detect light signals.

[0084] The lifting rib body 1 may be one or more. The lifting rib body 1 may be arranged at the bottom of the treatment cylinder or at the side wall of the treatment cylinder, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0085] The outer contour of the lifting rib body 1 can be a shape similar to a triangle, a quadrilateral or a star, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0086] In one application scenario, the inner wall of the treatment barrel includes the barrel bottom and side walls of the treatment barrel, the barrel bottom is opposite to the opening of the treatment barrel, and the side walls are located between the barrel bottom and the opening and form a circle. Preferably, if the opening direction of the treatment barrel is toward the top of the clothing treatment device, the lifting rib body 1 is set at the barrel bottom of the treatment barrel, and the lifting rib body 1 extends in the direction of the opening to form a convex wall 11. If the opening direction of the treatment barrel is toward the front of the clothing treatment device, the lifting rib body 1 is set on the side wall of the treatment barrel, and the lifting rib body 1 extends toward the top of the clothing treatment device to form a convex wall 11.

[0087] For ease of understanding, the extension direction of the convex wall 11 formed by the lifting rib body 1 is taken as the height direction of the lifting rib body 1. If the lifting rib body 1 is set at the bottom of the cylinder, the radial direction of the processing cylinder is the length direction of the lifting rib body 1, and the direction of the lifting rib body 1 in the horizontal plane and perpendicular to its length direction is the width direction; if the lifting rib body 1 is set on the side wall, the direction from the bottom of the cylinder to the side wall is the length direction of the lifting rib body 1, and the rotation direction of the processing cylinder is the width direction of the lifting rib body 1.

[0088] An installation space is formed inside the convex wall 11. The installation space and the inside of the treatment tube can be two unconnected spaces or connected spaces, and this embodiment does not specifically limit this. The rotating platform 2 is located in the installation space and can rotate. It should be noted that the rotating platform 2 is used to change the detection angle or detection position of the detection member 3. Therefore, the rotation axis of the rotating platform 2 can be a horizontal line or a vertical line, and the purpose is to be able to change the detection angle or detection position of the detection member 3. Preferably, the rotation axis of the rotating platform 2 is perpendicular to the height direction of the lifting rib body 1.

[0089] The light-transmitting portion refers to a portion on the convex wall 11 that can transmit light, and therefore, the light-transmitting portion can be a space without a physical structure blocking it, such as a through hole, a through groove, etc., or can be a physical structure with light transmission, such as a light-transmitting plate on the convex wall 11. It should be noted that the light-transmitting portion needs to be opposite to the detection member 3, but since the detection member 3 can rotate with the rotating platform 2, there is a light-transmitting portion corresponding to any position of the rotation track of the detection member 3, so that when the detection member 3 performs optical signal detection, the light-transmitting portion can be used to transmit the optical signal to the inside of the processing tube or receive the optical signal transmitted from the inside of the processing tube to the installation space.

[0090] In this embodiment, a rotatable rotating platform 2 is provided in the lifting rib body 1, and a detection member 3 is provided on the rotating platform 2, so that the position of the detection member 3 can change with the rotation of the rotating platform 2. Since the detection member 3 uses an optical signal to realize detection, when the position of the detection member 3 changes, the propagation direction and path of the optical signal will also change, so that the optical signal can contact objects at different positions in the processing cylinder, so that when it is necessary to identify the material of clothing, the detection member 3 is rotated so that the optical signal can contact the clothing to identify the clothing material, and when it is necessary to detect the water quality, the optical signal can contact the water to detect the water quality. By using the rotatable detection member 3, different detection purposes are achieved and the detection cost is saved.

[0091] In a possible embodiment of the present application, the second wall 112 is integrally formed with or sealedly connected to the inner wall of the processing cylinder, and the installation space includes a space formed by the second wall 112 and the first wall 111 .

[0092] The extension direction of the first wall 111 is parallel to the width direction or the length direction of the lifting rib body 1, and the extension direction of the second wall 112 is parallel to the height direction of the lifting rib body 1. It should be noted that the parallelism referred to in this embodiment does not require that the two directions are completely parallel, and there may also be an angle, as long as the two directions are not perpendicular.

[0093] Based on the description of the extension directions of the first wall 111 and the second wall 112 , it can be known that the second wall 112 is actually a wall that encloses a closed space.

[0094] With this embodiment, the second wall 112 is integrally formed with or sealedly connected to the processing tube, which facilitates the production or connection of the processing tube and the lifting rib body 1 and improves the manufacturing convenience or installation convenience of the lifting rib.

[0095] Optionally, in an implementation of the present embodiment, the lifting rib body 1 further includes a lower cover 12 detachably connected to the second wall 112 , and the installation space includes a space formed by the lower cover 12 and the convex wall 11 .

[0096] The difference from the previous embodiment is that the convex wall 11 in this embodiment has a lower cover 12, and the lower cover 12 is detachably connected to the second wall 112, so that the convex wall 11 and the treatment tube are two independently produced parts. When it is necessary to set a lifting rib in the treatment tube, the lower cover 12 can be first fixed on the inner wall of the treatment tube, and then the convex wall 11 is connected to the lower cover 12. Among them, the lower cover 12 and the inner wall of the treatment tube can be welded, can be integrally formed, or can be detachably connected; the convex wall 11 and the lower cover 12 can be detachably connected by screws, buckles, and other structures.

[0097] In this embodiment, by providing the lower cover 12, the installation method between the lifting rib body 1 and the processing cylinder becomes flexible, and the connection convenience between the lifting rib and the processing cylinder is improved. In addition, the lower cover 12 and the second wall 112 are detachably connected, so that when one of them is damaged, only the damaged part can be replaced without replacing the entire lifting rib body 1, making the lifting rib body 1 easy to repair.

[0098] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, the lifting rib further includes a driving assembly 4, and the driving assembly 4 is disposed in the installation space;

[0099] The driving assembly 4 is drivingly connected to the rotating platform 2 to drive the rotating platform 2 to rotate.

[0100] Among them, the driving component 4 refers to a component with driving capability. The driving component 4 is located in the installation space. It can be fixed in the installation space by connecting to the lifting rib body 1, or by connecting to the inner wall of the processing cylinder. This embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0101] With this embodiment, the driving assembly 4 can drive the rotating platform 2 to rotate, thereby improving the convenience and stability of controlling the rotation of the rotating platform 2. The driving assembly 4 is arranged in the installation space, which is conducive to protecting the driving assembly 4, making it difficult for the driving assembly 4 to enter water, extending the life of the driving assembly 4, and also helping to prevent the driving assembly 4 from contacting with clothes and causing entanglement.

[0102] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, the driving assembly 4 includes a first driver, the first driver is fixed in the installation space, and a first output shaft of the first driver is connected to one end of the rotating platform 2.

[0103] With this implementation, the first output shaft is connected to one end of the rotating platform 2, and there is no need to set up equipment such as a reducer, which helps to save detection costs.

[0104] Optionally, in an implementation of the present embodiment, two rotating platforms 2 are provided, namely a first platform 21 and a second platform 22. The two rotating platforms 2 are arranged in sequence and parallel to each other. The driving assembly 4 includes a second driver 41 and a transmission member 42. The second output shaft of the second driver 41 is connected to one end of the first platform 21. The second platform 22 is driven by the second driver 41 through the transmission member 42. The two rotating platforms 2 rotate synchronously and in opposite directions.

[0105] The function of the transmission member 42 includes but is not limited to changing the direction, magnitude and driving form of the driving force. Specifically, the driving form is, for example, changing the linear motion into the rotational motion.

[0106] With this embodiment, the second platform 22 is driven by the second driver 41 via the transmission member 42 , which reduces the number of drivers and saves detection costs on one hand, and helps to improve the rotation stability of the second platform 22 via the transmission member 42 on the other hand.

[0107] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, the driver is a motor;

[0108] The transmission member 42 includes a first gear 421 and a second gear 422;

[0109] The first gear 421 is disposed on the output shaft of the motor, and the second gear 422 is meshed with the first gear 421 and connected to one end of the second platform 22 .

[0110] In one application scenario, the motor is a rotary type motor, that is, after the motor is started, the output shaft of the motor rotates. The first gear 421 rotates with the output shaft and drives the second gear 422 to rotate at the same time. Preferably, the first gear 421 is the same as the second gear 422, so that the second platform 22 rotates in opposite directions and at the same speed as the first platform 21.

[0111] With this embodiment, the gear has higher stability, which helps to improve the stability of the rotation of the second platform 22 .

[0112] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, the convex wall 11 has a mounting groove 6 recessed from the first wall 111 toward the inner wall of the processing cylinder, the mounting groove 6 has an inner groove space, one side of the mounting groove 6 has an accommodation space formed inside the convex wall 11, the mounting space includes the inner groove space and the accommodation space, and the inner groove space is connected to the accommodation space;

[0113] The rotating platform 2 is at least partially located in the space within the slot and rotates in the space within the slot so that the detection member 3 can perform optical signal detection through the mounting slot 6, and the driving assembly 4 is located in the accommodating space.

[0114] The installation groove 6 is opened on the first wall 111 , and a groove wall is formed on the outer peripheral side of the extension direction of the installation groove 6 . The groove wall divides the installation space into the groove inner space and the accommodation space.

[0115] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, a notch of the mounting slot 6 is formed on the first wall 111 , and the notch is a light-transmitting portion, so that the optical signal can pass through the notch and enter or leave the space in the slot during transmission.

[0116] In this embodiment, by providing the installation slot 6, the rotating platform 2 moves in the installation slot 6, which is convenient for the detection member 3 on the rotating platform 2 to realize optical signal detection. The driving component 4 in the accommodation space is not easily disturbed by the outside of the accommodation space, thereby improving the operation stability of the driving component 4.

[0117] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, the mounting groove 6 penetrates the second wall 112 along the width direction of the lifting rib body 1 .

[0118] By adopting this embodiment, the propagation area of ​​the optical signal can be increased, and the detection accuracy of the detection element 3 can be improved.

[0119] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, the mounting groove 6 has an opening as a light-transmitting portion; or,

[0120] The lifting ribs further include a slot sealing plate 7 , which is connected to the first wall 111 and the second wall 112 and is used to cover the mounting slot 6 . The slot sealing plate 7 is a light-transmitting plate serving as a light-transmitting portion.

[0121] The sealing plate 7 is detachably connected to the lifting rib body 1 .

[0122] By adopting this embodiment, it is difficult for clothes or water to enter the containing tank, and thus difficult to enter the containing space, so that the detection member 3, the rotating platform 2, the proximity switch, the driving assembly 4 and other parts are protected and their service life is increased.

[0123] Optionally, in an implementation of the present embodiment, the slot sealing plate 7 includes an extension portion 71 and a slot sealing portion 72, the slot sealing portion 72 covers a portion of the mounting slot 6, the extension portion 71 covers an uncovered position of the slot sealing portion 72, the extension portion 71 forms a notch 723 on the slot sealing plate 7 that communicates with the interior of the treatment cylinder, the extension portion 71 includes a first plate 721 and a second plate 722, the first plate 721 and the second plate 722 extend into the mounting slot 6 and are connected in the mounting slot 6, and a water inlet space 724 that communicates with the notch 723 is formed between the first plate 721 and the second plate 722;

[0124] The first platform 21 and the second platform 22 are located at two sides of the extension portion 71 , and the first platform 21 and the second platform 22 include rotation positions that are opposite, opposite to each other, and parallel to each other.

[0125] For ease of understanding, the cross section of the extension portion 71 is roughly V-shaped or inverted "J"-shaped, so that the extension portion 71 includes a notch 723, and the notch 723 is located at the position where the extension portion 71 is connected to the sealing groove portion 72. After the extension portion 71 extends into the installation groove 6, the first plate 721 is connected to the second plate 722, so that the sealing groove plate 7 is a continuous and uninterrupted plate. Preferably, the extension portion 71 and the sealing groove portion 72 are integrally formed.

[0126] Since the extension portion 71 defines a water inlet space 724, the space in the tank is divided into two connected or unconnected parts, the first platform 21 is located in one part, and the second platform 22 is located in the other part, that is, the first platform 21 is located on the left side of the extension portion 71, and the second platform 22 is located on the right side of the extension portion 71. It should be noted that the left side and the right side are only for ease of understanding and do not have a limiting effect on the direction.

[0127] By adopting this embodiment, the water or clothes in the treatment drum can enter the water inlet space 724, so that when the first platform 21 and the second platform 22 are in a relative rotation position, the detection member 3 can directly detect the water or clothes in the water inlet space 724, thereby improving the detection flexibility and convenience, and at the same time providing a new detection position and detection angle for the detection member 3, so that the detection member 3 can complete more detection purposes and save detection costs.

[0128] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, the detection element 3 includes a receiving electrode 32 and a transmitting electrode 31, the receiving electrode 32 is located on the first platform 21, and the transmitting electrode 31 is located on the second platform 22;

[0129] When the first platform 21 and the second platform 22 are at relative rotational positions, the optical signal emitted by the emitter 31 passes through the water inlet space 724 and is received by the receiver 32;

[0130] When the first platform 21 and the second platform 22 are in opposite rotational positions, the emitter 31 is used to cooperate with other receiving electrodes 32 in the processing tube for detection, and the receiving electrode 32 is used to cooperate with other emitters 31 in the processing tube for detection;

[0131] When the first platform 21 and the second platform 22 are in parallel rotation positions, the optical signal of the emitter 31 contacts the clothes in the treatment tub, is diffusely reflected, and then is received by the receiver 32 .

[0132] Preferably, the first platform 21 and the second platform 22 are both horizontally arranged, and the rotation axis is a horizontal line parallel to each other. The emitter 31 has an output end of the optical signal, and the receiver 32 has a receiving end of the optical signal. When the first platform 21 and the second platform 22 are opposite to each other, the output end of the emitter 31 is opposite to the receiving end of the receiver 32; when the first platform 21 and the second platform 22 are opposite to each other, the output end of the emitter 31 is opposite to the receiving end of the receiver 32; when the first platform 21 and the second platform 22 are parallel, the output end of the emitter 31 and the receiving end of the receiver 32 are also parallel in direction. Preferably, when the first platform 21 and the second platform 22 are parallel, the output end of the emitter 31 and the receiving end of the receiver 32 are both facing above the clothing processing device.

[0133] It should be noted that when the output end of the emitter 31 is opposite to the receiving end of the receiving electrode 32, the optical signal can pass through the water or clothing in the water inlet space 724 and be received by the receiving electrode 32 after refraction; when the output end of the emitter 31 is parallel to the receiving end of the receiving electrode 32, the optical signal can pass through the sealing plate 7 and contact the clothing and be received by the receiving electrode 32 after diffuse reflection; when the output end of the emitter 31 is opposite to the receiving end of the receiving electrode 32, the receiving electrode 32 cannot receive the optical signal emitted by the emitter 31 in the same lifting rib, but the receiving electrode 32 can receive the optical signal emitted by the emitter 31 in other lifting ribs and after transmission.

[0134] With this implementation, the detection member 3 has an emitter 31 and a receiver 32, and the first platform 21 and the second platform 22 are respectively provided with the emitter 31 and the receiver 32, so that one detection member 3 can accomplish multiple detection purposes, thus saving detection costs.

[0135] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, the detection element 3 includes an ultraviolet sensor or an infrared sensor.

[0136] The present implementation method is less likely to cause damage to clothing and the human body and is highly safe.

[0137] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, a magnet 23 is provided on the rotating platform 2, and at least one proximity switch is provided in the installation space;

[0138] When the magnet 23 rotates with the rotating platform 2 to a position corresponding to the proximity switch, the corresponding proximity switch is triggered.

[0139] Preferably, there are three proximity switches. When the first platform 21 is opposite to the second platform 22, the magnet 23 triggers the first proximity switch. When the first platform 21 is parallel to the second platform 22, the magnet 23 triggers the second proximity switch. When the first platform 21 is opposite to the second platform 22, the magnet 23 triggers the third proximity switch.

[0140] By adopting this implementation method, when the proximity switch is triggered, an electrical signal can be generated, and the rotation of the rotating platform 2 can be controlled by relying on the electrical signal, so that the proximity switch can automatically control the rotating platform 2 to stop rotating or start rotating, thereby improving the control accuracy and convenience of the rotating platform 2.

[0141] This embodiment also provides a processing drum of a clothes processing device, comprising at least one of the above-mentioned lifting ribs.

[0142] This embodiment further provides a clothing processing device, comprising at least one of the above-mentioned lifting ribs or at least one of the above-mentioned processing drums.

[0143] This embodiment also provides a detection method, which is applied to the above-mentioned lifting ribs, processing drum or clothing processing equipment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the detection method includes:

[0144] S100: Obtain an operating stage of a clothes processing device.

[0145] Among them, the clothing processing device has different operation stages when processing clothing, such as the weighing stage for weighing clothing, the water intake stage, the heating stage, etc., which are not specifically limited in this embodiment. Different operation stages may have different detection purposes. For example, in the operation stage before the water intake stage, the material of the clothing needs to be detected, so that the water intake in the water intake stage can be determined according to the material of the clothing; for another example, in the washing stage, the water quality needs to be detected, so that the dirtiness of the washing water can be detected, so as to determine whether it is necessary to extend the washing time or increase the number of washing times.

[0146] S102, controlling the rotating platform 2 to rotate to a corresponding rotation position according to the operation stage.

[0147] Since different operation stages correspond to different detection purposes, the rotating platform 2 is rotated to a corresponding rotation position according to the detection purpose required in the operation stage. Preferably, the rotation position includes a position where the emitter 31 and the receiver 32 are opposite to each other, a position where the emitter 31 and the receiver 32 face the same direction, and a position where the emitter 31 and the receiver 32 face each other.

[0148] Specifically, when the emitter 31 and the receiver 32 are facing each other, the water quality can be detected by using the refraction principle of the light signal; when the emitter 31 and the receiver 32 are facing the same direction, the material of the clothes can be detected by using the diffuse reflection principle of the light signal; when the emitter 31 and the receiver 32 are facing away from each other, the material of the clothes or the water quality can be detected by using the transmission principle of the light signal. This embodiment does not specifically limit the specific detection process.

[0149] S104, controlling the detection component 3 to perform optical signal detection.

[0150] With this implementation, the rotating platform 2 can drive the detection member 3 to rotate, so that the detection angle or detection position of the detection member 3 changes, so that the clothing processing device at different operating stages can perform detection for different detection purposes, and the detection cost is controlled.

[0151] Optionally, in an implementation of the present embodiment, the rotating platform 2 is provided with two, namely a first platform 21 and a second platform 22, a sealing slot plate 7 is provided on the convex wall 11, a water inlet space 724 is formed on the sealing slot plate 7, which is connected to the inside of the treatment cylinder and is not connected to the installation space, a receiving pole 32 of the detection member 3 is provided on the first platform 21, and an emitting pole 31 of the detection member 3 is provided on the second platform 22, and the first platform 21 and the second platform 22 are located on both sides of the water inlet space 724;

[0152] Controlling the rotating platform 2 to rotate to a corresponding rotation position according to the operation stage includes:

[0153] If the operation stage is the material identification stage, the first platform 21 and the second platform 22 are controlled to rotate to a position where they are parallel to each other and the emitter 31 and the receiver 32 are both facing the inside of the treatment drum, so as to detect the material of the clothes in the treatment drum by diffuse reflection;

[0154] If the operation stage is the water quality detection stage, the first platform 21 and the second platform 22 are controlled to rotate to relative positions and the emitter 31 and the receiver 32 are relative positions, so that the optical signal output by the emitter 31 passes through the water inlet space 724 and is received by the receiver 32 to detect the water quality in the water inlet space 724.

[0155] By adopting this implementation method, the material of clothing can be detected by diffuse reflection, and the water quality can be detected by opposite refraction when the transmitting electrode 31 and the receiving electrode 32 are opposite to each other. Therefore, the detection element 3 can detect both the material of clothing and the water quality, and can achieve multiple detection purposes, thereby improving the functionality of the detection element 3 and saving detection costs.

[0156] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, at least two of the above-mentioned lifting ribs are provided on the processing cylinder, and the lifting ribs include a first lifting rib and a second lifting rib;

[0157] Controlling the rotating platform 2 to rotate to a corresponding rotation position according to the operation stage includes:

[0158] If the operation stage is the multi-target detection stage, the first lifting rib and the first platform 21 and the second platform 22 in the second lifting rib are controlled to rotate to opposite positions, wherein when the first platform 21 and the second platform 22 are opposite to each other, the light signal output by the emitter 31 in the first lifting rib enters the processing barrel and passes through the clothes and / or water, and is received by the receiving electrode 32 in the second lifting rib to detect the material and / or water quality of the clothes. The light signal output by the emitter 31 in the second lifting rib enters the processing barrel and passes through the clothes and / or water, and is received by the receiving electrode 32 in the first lifting rib to detect the material and / or water quality of the clothes.

[0159] By adopting this implementation method, when there are multiple lifting ribs and a rotatable rotating platform 2 is provided in each of the multiple lifting ribs, the positions of the transmitting electrode 31 and the receiving electrode 32 can be changed so that the detection parts 3 in the multiple lifting ribs cooperate with each other to complete the detection of clothes and / or water. The detection methods are diverse, which improves the flexibility of detection.

[0160] In the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant description of other embodiments. The steps shown in the relevant flow chart can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although the logical order is shown in the flow chart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that here. In other words, the order of steps described in the foregoing embodiments is only an example, and it is also within the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application to reasonably adjust the order of steps based on the content of the embodiments of the present application.

[0161] In a specific implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the clothes processing device in the above embodiment is a washing machine, the processing drum is a drum in the washing machine for processing clothes, and the detection element in the lifting rib is an ultraviolet sensor. The structure and use process of the lifting rib set in the washing machine drum include:

[0162] The ultraviolet sensor includes an emitter and a receiver, and the lifting ribs have the following parts: a sealing plate, a proximity switch, a convex wall, a motor, a rotating platform, and a lower cover.

[0163] Assembly relationship description:

[0164] A water inlet space is provided in the middle of the sealing groove plate, which is mainly used to detect clothes in the water inlet space when the transmitting electrode and the receiving electrode are compared inside the lifting rib. The sealing groove plate plays a role in waterproofing, dustproofing and pollution prevention.

[0165] The proximity switch detects the rotation state of the sensor inside the lifting rib.

[0166] The convex wall plays a role in protecting and waterproofing the internal components of the lifting rib.

[0167] The motor is a DC motor, the rotor is provided with gears for rotation, the gears are provided with a rotating platform, and the rotating platform drives the transmitting electrode and the receiving electrode to change the angle.

[0168] The rotating platform has a gear at the end, which cooperates with the motor shaft rotor to rotate. The rotating platform has two inside the lifting ribs, one supporting the emitter and the other supporting the receiver.

[0169] Emitter, the emitter emits ultraviolet light (100-400nm) or near infrared light (700-2500nm).

[0170] Receiving electrode: After the light emitted by the transmitting electrode passes through the tested clothing (in the flat state) or the granular foreign matter (in the opposite installation state), it is received by the receiving electrode.

[0171] The lower cover serves to fix the lifting ribs in the inner cylinder.

[0172] Control method:

[0173] The lifting ribs are equipped with a sealing plate, which is a non-flat plate. A water inlet space is added inside. The sealing plate is an acrylic cover with strong light transmittance and good waterproof performance. The initial state of the emitter and receiver of the internal sensor is a flat state. The flat state uses the principle of diffuse reflection to identify the material of the clothing. After the material is detected, the water quality or particles in the water need to be detected.

[0174] In the first case, the emitter and the receiver are compared with each other, and a sensor on a lifting rib can be used to detect the water quality and granular objects in the washing water. When detecting the water quality and foreign matter in the water, the emitter and the receiver need to be opposite to each other. At this time, the DC motor needs to be driven to rotate. After the DC motor rotates, the rotor drives the shaft to rotate, and the shaft drives the gear on the shaft to rotate. This is the first-level transmission. The first-level transmission drives the rotating platform to rotate. When the gear rotates counterclockwise, it drives the receiver 90° counterclockwise. The receiver faces the inside of the lifting rib, that is, the position of the sealing groove plate. While the corresponding gear on the receiver rotates counterclockwise, it drives the gear on the rotating platform on the emitter to rotate 90° clockwise, forming a second-level transmission. After rotation, the emitter also faces the direction of the sealing groove plate, facing the receiver. The emitter and the receiver are in a relative state at this time, and finally the foreign matter and water quality in the water inlet space of the sealing groove plate can be detected.

[0175] In the second case, based on the first case, the emitter and the receiver are opposite to each other, and the material of the clothes in the drum is identified by the diffuse reflection formed by the motor drive again, so that the emitter and the receiver are laid flat. The motor shaft rotates clockwise, driving the rotating platform and the receiver to rotate clockwise, forming a primary transmission. The receiver rotates 90° clockwise, and the receiver can be laid flat from the original sideways angle. Because the gears on the emitter rotating platform and the gears on the receiver rotating platform rotate in coordination, when the receiver rotates 90° clockwise, the gears on the emitter rotating platform are driven by the receiver gears to form a secondary transmission, and are driven to rotate 90° counterclockwise, rotating the emitter into a flat state. At this time, the emitter and the receiver can be laid flat, and the light intensity is emitted after power-on, and diffuse reflection is formed after contacting the clothes, so that the clothes can be detected. The receiver receives the remaining light intensity after a part of the light intensity is absorbed by the clothes.

[0176] The third case is based on the second case where the emitter and the receiver are in a flat state. In this case, the DC motor is used to turn the emitter and the receiver outward toward the two sides of the lifting rib, and the receiver on the other lifting rib is also facing outward. After one of the emitters emits light, the other lifting rib receiver receives the light. The water quality and clothing can be detected by transmission and refraction. The emitter and the receiver are initially in a flat state. At this time, the receiver is rotated 90° clockwise. After the DC motor is powered on, the rotor drives the shaft to rotate clockwise, driving the rotating platform and the receiver to rotate 90° clockwise. The gears on the emitter rotating platform are driven to form a secondary transmission and rotate 90° counterclockwise. At this time, the emitter and the receiver are both facing the two sides of the lifting rib.

[0177] The side wall of the lifting rib is equipped with 3 proximity switches. The ends of the emitter and the receiver are equipped with magnets. Different proximity switches are turned on according to different rotation positions, and the rotation angles of the corresponding emitter and the receiver are detected and judged.

[0178] Next, an example is given of a method for identifying the material of clothing using diffuse reflection. The clothing material identification method may include the following processing steps.

[0179] S100: Acquire a plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values ​​when clothing diffusely reflects an incident light signal.

[0180] When identifying the material of clothing, an incident light signal is emitted to the clothing, and after the incident light signal contacts the clothing, it either transmits through the clothing or diffusely reflects after contacting the clothing. This embodiment only obtains the diffuse reflection parameter value generated after diffuse reflection occurs.

[0181] It should be noted that the diffuse reflection parameter value may be a parameter value of the reflected light signal itself after diffuse reflection occurs, such as the wavelength and light intensity of the reflected light signal, or may be a parameter value obtained after calculating the parameters of the reflected light signal itself, such as substituting the wavelength and / or light intensity of the reflected light signal into a preset calculation formula to obtain the diffuse reflection parameter value. In general, as long as different clothing materials can correspond to different diffuse reflection parameter values, it will be fine.

[0182] S102: Determine the clothing material of the clothing according to a plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values ​​and a correspondence between preset clothing materials and diffuse reflection standard value intervals.

[0183] In one embodiment of the present application, diffuse reflection may be generated after the light signal contacts the clothing, and then the diffuse reflection parameter value may be obtained.

[0184] Specifically, the diffuse reflection parameter value may be a parameter value of the reflected light signal itself after diffuse reflection occurs, such as the wavelength and light intensity of the reflected light signal, or may be a parameter value obtained by calculating the parameter value of the reflected light signal itself, such as substituting the wavelength and / or light intensity of the reflected light signal into a preset calculation formula to obtain the diffuse reflection parameter value. In general, as long as different clothing materials can correspond to different diffuse reflection parameter values, it will be fine.

[0185] In one embodiment, the preset calculation formula for calculating the diffuse reflection parameter value can be a formula including the wavelength and light intensity of the reflected light signal, for example, the diffuse reflection parameter value a = (wavelength λ-absorbed wavelength △E) / wavelength λ*φluminous flux*power factor (related to light intensity).

[0186] In one embodiment, in order to determine the material of clothing, a diffuse reflection standard value interval is preset, and different diffuse reflection standard value intervals correspond to different clothing materials, that is, there is a corresponding relationship between the diffuse reflection standard value interval and the clothing material.

[0187] Specifically, the diffuse reflection standard value interval is a numerical interval composed of diffuse reflection standard values. It should be noted that the diffuse reflection standard value and the diffuse reflection parameter value are of the same type or are obtained using the same algorithm. The difference is that the diffuse reflection standard value is a parameter value obtained by performing a diffuse reflection experiment on the clothing when the clothing material is known, while the diffuse reflection parameter value is a parameter value obtained by performing diffuse reflection on the clothing when the clothing material is actually identified. For ease of understanding, for example, during testing, the wavelength and light intensity of the reflected light signal after diffuse reflection are calculated using formula A to obtain the diffuse reflection standard value. After multiple tests on clothing of material a, a numerical interval P1 can be divided according to all the obtained diffuse reflection standard values. When actually identifying the clothing material, the wavelength and light intensity of the reflected light signal after diffuse reflection are also calculated using formula A to obtain the diffuse reflection parameter value. Since the calculation process of the diffuse reflection parameter value is the same as that of the diffuse reflection standard value, the clothing material of the clothing can be determined according to the diffuse reflection parameter value.

[0188] The correspondence between the diffuse reflection standard value interval and the clothing material is: each type of clothing material corresponds to a diffuse reflection standard value interval, and different types of clothing materials correspond to different diffuse reflection standard value intervals. For example, material a corresponds to the diffuse reflection standard value interval P1, which is the correspondence. So that when the diffuse reflection parameter value is within P1, it can be determined that the clothing material of the clothing is a. Preferably, the correspondence obtained by testing with an ultraviolet sensor and using the formula includes: the material tested at 100-130 is cotton, the material tested at 135-155 is linen, the material corresponding to 190-230 is wool, the material corresponding to 165-189 is silk, the material corresponding to 290-330 is polyester fiber, and the material corresponding to 335-390 is chemical fiber.

[0189] In this embodiment, since the light signal is used to detect the material of the clothing, the detection accuracy is not easily affected by water mist, and there is no need for autofocus, which helps to improve the recognition accuracy of the clothing material. In addition, the diffuse reflection of the incident light signal is used to detect the clothing, and there is no need to penetrate the clothing for detection, so it is not easy to have the defect of being unable to detect due to the inability of the incident light signal to penetrate the clothing, which further ensures the smooth recognition of the clothing material and helps to improve the recognition accuracy of the clothing material.

[0190] In a possible embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values ​​are obtained when the clothing diffusely reflects the incident light signal, including:

[0191] S200, controlling the emitter of the light detection element to transmit incident light signals to the clothes covering the light detection element for multiple times.

[0192] The multiple transmissions of the incident light signal may be performed by presetting the time interval between each transmission of the incident light signal, or the total number of transmissions of the incident light signal may be presetting, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment. For example, the incident light signal is transmitted 10 times in total, each time at an interval of 10 ms.

[0193] S202, receiving, through the light detecting element, a plurality of times, reflected light signals resulting from diffuse reflection of the incident light signals by the clothing.

[0194] Each incident light signal obtains a reflected light signal after being diffusely reflected by the clothing, that is, the incident light signal corresponds to the reflected light signal one by one, so the number of incident light signals emitted is equal to the number of reflected light signals.

[0195] S204: Perform data conversion processing based on the wavelength and / or light intensity of the reflected light signal received multiple times in the light detection element to obtain multiple diffuse reflection parameter values.

[0196] The specific data conversion process is not limited in this embodiment and can be determined according to actual needs. For ease of understanding, in an application scenario, after the wavelength and light intensity of the reflected light signal are substituted into a preset formula, the calculated result is the diffuse reflection parameter value, and the calculation process is the data conversion process.

[0197] By adopting this embodiment, when identifying the clothing material of clothing, the incident light signal will be emitted multiple times, so that the reflected light signal is received a very large number of times. Then it is converted to obtain multiple diffuse reflection parameter values. On the one hand, compared with one diffuse reflection parameter value, multiple diffuse reflection parameter values ​​are conducive to avoiding special situations and improving the accuracy of the clothing material of clothing identified based on the diffuse reflection parameter value. On the other hand, the wavelength, light intensity and other information of the reflected light signal are not directly used, but data conversion processing is performed, so that the diffuse reflection standard value intervals corresponding to different clothing materials have large differences, which is conducive to improving the accuracy of clothing material identification and avoiding the phenomenon of non-recognition due to the small difference in the diffuse reflection standard value intervals corresponding to different clothing materials.

[0198] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, the light detecting element is an ultraviolet sensor or an infrared sensor, and the emitter and the receiver of the light detecting element are arranged in parallel and flatly below the clothing.

[0199] The parallel laying means that the transmitter and the receiver are arranged side by side and laid flat under the clothes.

[0200] With this embodiment, the ultraviolet sensor or infrared sensor is low-cost and is not likely to cause damage to clothing and the human body. The parallel and flatly arranged emitter and receiver are conducive to reducing the space occupied by the light detection element and improving the installation convenience of the light detection element.

[0201] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the clothing material of the clothing is determined according to the correspondence between the plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values ​​and the preset clothing material and the diffuse reflection standard value interval, including:

[0202] S300: Determine a representative value according to a plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values.

[0203] Representativeness can be representativeness in any aspect, or in other words, representativeness from any angle. This embodiment does not make specific limitations on this, and can be determined according to actual needs, and the actual needs are related to the specific way of obtaining the diffuse reflection parameter value and / or the specific process of determining the corresponding relationship. For example, in the process of calculating the diffuse reflection parameter value, only simple algorithms such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are used, and the wavelength and light intensity of the reflected light signal are embodied by a constant. When determining the representative value, the average value of multiple diffuse reflection parameter values ​​can be used as the representative value. For another example, when determining the corresponding relationship, the larger value or the maximum value of the diffuse reflection standard value is used, and the representative value is the maximum value of multiple diffuse reflection parameter values.

[0204] S302: Compare the representative value with each diffuse reflection standard value interval to determine the diffuse reflection standard value interval to which the representative value belongs.

[0205] That is, it is determined in which diffuse reflection standard value interval the representative value is located. If it is located in the diffuse reflection standard value interval P1, the representative value belongs to P1; if it is located in P2, the representative value belongs to P2.

[0206] S304: Determine the clothing material corresponding to the diffuse reflection standard value interval to which the representative value belongs as the clothing material of the clothing according to the corresponding relationship.

[0207] Since there is a corresponding relationship between clothing materials and diffuse reflection standard value intervals, that is, clothing material a corresponds to diffuse reflection standard value interval P1, clothing material b corresponds to diffuse reflection standard value interval P2, clothing material c corresponds to diffuse reflection standard value interval P3, and so on. Therefore, after determining the diffuse reflection standard value interval to which the representative value belongs, the clothing material can be determined according to the corresponding relationship, and the clothing material of the clothing can be determined as the material.

[0208] According to this embodiment, the material of the clothing is determined based on the diffuse reflection standard value interval to which the representative value determined by the plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values ​​belongs, which helps to improve the accuracy.

[0209] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, the representative value includes at least one of a maximum value, a minimum value, a middle value and an average value.

[0210] In this embodiment, no matter the maximum value, minimum value, intermediate value or average value, they are all representative in certain circumstances, so that the representative value can better reflect the characteristics or features of multiple diffuse reflection parameter values, thereby making the accuracy of the clothing material determined according to the representative value higher.

[0211] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, the method further includes:

[0212] After obtaining the plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values, determining the validity of the plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values ​​according to the stability of the plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values, wherein the validity includes valid and invalid;

[0213] If the plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values ​​are valid, determining the clothing material of the clothing according to the correspondence between the plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values ​​and the preset clothing material and diffuse reflection standard value interval;

[0214] If the plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values ​​are invalid, the spatial distribution state of the clothing is changed according to the clothing adjustment strategy and the plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values ​​are reacquired when the clothing diffusely reflects the incident light signal.

[0215] That is, after obtaining a plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values, their validity will be judged first, and the clothing material of the clothing will be determined using the valid plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values.

[0216] Among them, stability refers to the stability of multiple diffuse reflection parameter values. When evaluating stability, it can be evaluated from the perspective of the difference between the multiple diffuse reflection parameter values, or from the perspective of the fluctuation of the multiple diffuse reflection parameter values. This embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0217] In the case where multiple diffuse reflection parameter values ​​are invalid, the spatial distribution state of the clothing will be adjusted first, and then the multiple diffuse reflection parameter values ​​will be re-acquired. It should be noted that the clothing adjustment strategy is intended to change the spatial distribution state of the clothing, so this embodiment does not specifically limit this. For ease of understanding, for example, the clothing adjustment strategy can be to adjust the position of the clothing, and the specific adjustment method can be determined according to the actual situation.

[0218] With this embodiment, the validity of multiple diffuse reflection parameter values ​​will be judged. Only when the multiple diffuse reflection parameter values ​​are valid, the clothing material of the clothing will be determined based on the multiple diffuse reflection parameter values ​​and the corresponding relationship, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the determined clothing material. For invalid multiple diffuse reflection parameter values, the multiple diffuse reflection parameter values ​​will be re-acquired. Since re-acquisition also belongs to the case of acquiring multiple diffuse reflection parameter values, the validity will be determined again, and so on, to achieve a cyclic processing, which is helpful to improve the accuracy of the determined clothing material.

[0219] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, determining the validity of the plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values ​​according to the stability of the plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values ​​includes:

[0220] The validity of the plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values ​​is determined according to the discreteness of the plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values, wherein the discreteness is used to characterize the stability of the plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values.

[0221] According to this embodiment, when determining the validity of a plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values, the validity is determined according to the discreteness of the plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values. This simplifies the calculation process and helps to reduce the occupation of computing resources.

[0222] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, determining the validity of the plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values ​​according to the discreteness of the plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values ​​includes:

[0223] Calculate the average of multiple diffuse reflection parameter values;

[0224] The standard deviation representing the degree of dispersion is calculated using the average value and multiple diffuse reflection parameter values;

[0225] If the standard deviation exceeds a preset validity threshold, the multiple diffuse reflection parameter values ​​are determined to be invalid;

[0226] If the standard deviation does not exceed the valid threshold, the plurality of diffuse reflectance parameter values ​​are determined to be valid.

[0227] The effective threshold value can be obtained through experiments. Specifically, when determining the corresponding relationship, in order to make each diffuse reflection standard value interval not overlap with each other, the standard deviation of multiple diffuse reflection parameter values ​​in the experiment is calculated, and the formation of the diffuse reflection standard value interval is constrained by the standard deviation, thereby determining the effective threshold value. The specific determination process of the effective threshold value is not limited in this embodiment.

[0228] By adopting this embodiment, the discreteness of multiple diffuse reflection parameter values ​​is measured by standard deviation, and the calculation process is simple, which helps to reduce the occupation of computing resources.

[0229] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, the clothes are located in the clothes processing drum, and the spatial distribution state of the clothes is changed according to the clothes adjustment strategy, including:

[0230] Control the laundry processing drum to rotate to a preset angle.

[0231] It should be noted that the clothing adjustment strategy includes a preset angle and may also include the rotation direction and number of rotations of the clothing treatment drum.

[0232] By adopting this embodiment, the control process is simple and quick, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of clothing material recognition.

[0233] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, after controlling the laundry processing drum to rotate by a preset angle, the method further includes:

[0234] The rotation of the laundry processing drum is controlled according to the preset dithering parameters, so as to re-acquire a plurality of diffuse reflection parameter values ​​when the laundry diffusely reflects the incident light signal after the laundry processing drum stops rotating.

[0235] The shaking parameters include the rotation speed of the laundry treatment drum and the number of reciprocating rotations. Specifically, in one application scenario, when the laundry treatment drum is controlled to rotate according to the shaking parameters, the laundry treatment drum is first controlled to rotate forward and then reversed to achieve reciprocating rotation. It should be noted that the position of the laundry treatment drum before rotating according to the shaking parameters is the same as the position after stopping rotating.

[0236] By adopting this embodiment, after running the shaking parameters, it is beneficial to change the state and arrangement order of the clothes in the clothing processing drum, so that the re-acquired multiple diffuse reflection parameter values ​​are not likely to be the same as or have a high degree of similarity with the previously acquired ones, which helps to increase the difference between the previously acquired and re-acquired multiple diffuse reflection parameter values, so that the re-acquired multiple diffuse reflection parameter values ​​are easy to be determined as valid, thereby reducing the number of times multiple diffuse reflection parameter values ​​are acquired and improving the clothing material recognition efficiency of the clothes.

[0237] This embodiment also provides a control method for a clothes processing device, including:

[0238] The clothing material identification method described above is used to identify the clothing material of the clothing in the clothing processing drum.

[0239] The clothing processing device is controlled to execute corresponding operating parameters according to the clothing material of the clothing.

[0240] Among them, the operating parameters can be the operating mode that the clothing processing device needs to run, or the operating time, operating temperature, operating speed and other parameters of a certain operating mode, which are not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0241] In this embodiment, when the clothing processing device is used, the above-mentioned clothing material identification method will be used to identify the clothing material of the clothing in the clothing processing device. After obtaining the clothing material of the clothing, the corresponding operating parameters will be executed according to the clothing material of the clothing, so that when the clothing processing device processes the clothing, different operating parameters will be executed for different types of clothing materials, which is conducive to improving the processing effect of the clothing.

[0242] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, the method further includes:

[0243] When the number of times of identifying the material of the clothes in the clothes processing drum reaches a preset number threshold, the identification is stopped.

[0244] It should be noted that each time multiple diffuse reflection parameter values ​​are obtained, it is considered that the clothing material is identified once. The number of identifications can be limited by the number threshold to prevent the clothing processing device from staying in the clothing material identification stage for a long time when multiple diffuse reflection parameter values ​​obtained multiple times are always invalid.

[0245] By adopting this embodiment and setting a number threshold, the number of times the clothing material is identified can be limited, so that the clothing processing device will not be in the clothing material identification stage for a long time, which is beneficial to improving the clothing processing efficiency of the clothing processing device.

[0246] In a specific implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the light detection element adopts an ultraviolet sensor, and the emitter and the receiver of the ultraviolet sensor are installed in a flat manner inside the lifting rib, and the distance between the emitter and the receiver of the sensor and the top of the lifting rib (i.e., where the clothes are placed) is 10 / 15 / 20mm, etc. The relevant working principle is: the ultraviolet emitter emits ultraviolet rays, and the multiple beams emitted are emitted in a horizontal direction and contact the material to be tested. The material to be tested absorbs ultraviolet rays of different intensities according to the knitting density of different materials. The remaining ultraviolet rays that are not absorbed are reflected back to the receiver after contacting the surface of this material. The light intensity received by the receiver is the remaining unabsorbed ultraviolet rays. After the sensor receives the light intensity, the MCU chip of the PCB board processes the electrical signal and converts it into a digital signal. The finally obtained measured parameters are then compared by the control method to determine what material the measured clothes are made of.

[0247] Principle description:

[0248] The wavelength of the ultraviolet spectrum used is 100-400nm. The absorbed wavelength is calculated according to quantum theory as △E=hv=hc / . The program can calculate the emitted wavelength and the wavelength received after diffuse reflection through further data processing algorithms. The following control method requires the use of standard deviation and average value comparison to collect 10 values ​​compared to the average value. When the standard deviation and the degree of deviation are small, the average value is compared with the preset value to determine the specific range and determine the material.

[0249] Parameter Description:

[0250] △a is the range obtained by converting the above formula to the specific wavelength of the corresponding fixed material and then taking the derivative. a is the average value after sampling 10 times, and the standard deviation is the stable value after comparing each sampled value with the average value. Different materials correspond to different preset value intervals, not just △a.

[0251] The method includes the following processing steps:

[0252] Put the clothes into the drum, and the drive motor of the rear drum starts to weigh and detect the changes in the clothes in the drum. The current of the drive motor changes, confirming that there are clothes in the drum. At this time, the main board sends an electrical signal to the ultraviolet sensor inside the lifting rib. The sensor starts to power on and detect the material. It captures data every 2 seconds, for a total of 10 times. The 10 data are a group, and the average value a of this group is calculated, as well as the standard deviation of each data. The difference in the degree of deviation between the 10 captured data and the average value is verified. If the standard deviation and the average value a are large, it means that the deviation range of the 10 measured data and the average value is large, which proves that the detected material may be a variety of materials. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the detection angle of the lifting rib 1 sensor. At this time, it is necessary to power the drive motor to adjust the angle. The first time, the drum is rotated forward by an angle α (60°), and the forward and reverse rotation is performed at a low speed of 50r / min. The cradle wash (i.e., the running shaking parameters) is performed to shake the clothes to a certain extent. The stacking state of the clothes varies within a certain range. After rotating for 1 minute, it stops rotating. The ultraviolet sensor in the lifting rib 1 detects the relationship between the standard deviation and the average value a again. If the standard deviation data is small, there is no need to control the rotation angle of the drive motor, and directly go to the next step to compare the average value a with the preset interval △a. If the standard deviation data is still too large, it is necessary to drive the motor to rotate by an angle β (120°) and rotate the inner drum back and forth at a low speed of 60r / min to perform cradle washing to shake out the clothes to a certain extent.

[0253] Compare the average value a with the closest preset value △a to see if the average value is outside the interval or within the range. If it is within the range, determine the material based on the corresponding interval preset by the big data of the main control board. If it is outside the range, the reflection angle of the sensor diffuse reflection is deviated, and feedback is given to the main control board. After the main control board receives the feedback, it further controls the motor to rotate at an angle α, and the motor rotates forward and reverse at a low speed to wash the cradle for 1 minute and then stops rotating. Then compare the average value a with the preset interval △a. If it is still outside the interval, the drive motor is adjusted at an angle β, and the motor rotates forward and reverse at a low speed to wash the cradle for 1 minute and then stops rotating. Then compare the average value a with the preset interval △a. By analogy, the sensor test accuracy can be improved by adjusting the motor angle.

[0254] The function and reason of cradle washing: The cradle washing program will shake out the clothes in the drum to a certain extent to prevent accumulation.

[0255] When the standard deviation and average value of the test are finally determined to meet the judgment requirements, the next step is to adjust the washing mode for clothes of different materials. For example, if it is determined to be cotton, the number of rinses will be increased accordingly to prevent detergent residue, the spin speed will be reduced to prevent wrinkles from getting worse, and the spin time will be extended after the speed is reduced.
