[0038] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0039] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, "module" and "processor" may include hardware, software or a combination of the two. A module may include hardware circuits, various suitable sensors, communication ports, memories, and may also include software parts, such as program codes, or a combination of software and hardware. The processor may be a central processing unit, a microprocessor, a digital signal processor or any other suitable processor. The processor has data and / or signal processing functions. The processor may be implemented in software, hardware or a combination of the two. Non-temporary computer-readable storage media include any suitable media that can store program codes, such as magnetic disks, hard disks, optical disks, flash memory, read-only memory, random access memory, etc.
[0040] The embodiments of the present application provide a material processing device and a control method, a control device and a storage medium thereof to solve the problem that the existing washing machine can start the washing program with one button but has a high risk of accidental touch, which will be explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0041] The laundry processing device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a box body 1 and a door body 2. Figure 1 The cabinet 1 is provided with a locking key 11 and a start key 12; the door body 2 is openably connected to the cabinet 1; wherein the locking key 11 is used to lock the door body 2 after the door body 2 is closed, and the start key 12 is used to be opened after the locking key 11 is locked to start the washing program.
[0042] The laundry processing device provided in the embodiment of the present application has a lock button 11 and a start button 12 on the box 1. When the user needs to start the washing program, the door 2 needs to be closed first so that the lock button 11 can lock the door 2 when the door 2 is closed. The start button 12 is then pressed to start the washing program when the door 2 is locked. That is, before pressing the start button 12 to start washing, the lock button 11 needs to be pressed. By adding the lock button 11, it is avoided that the washing is started with one button, which causes the user to accidentally touch the button and cause the laundry processing device to run idle for washing. At the same time, the above opening steps ensure that the door 2 of the laundry processing device is in a locked state during the washing process, which prevents young children from opening the door 2 and entering the drum by mistake during the washing process, thereby improving the safety of the device.
[0043] Optionally, the door body 2 and the box body 1 can be connected to each other through a hinge so as to be openable and closable. The position of the hinge is not further limited here. In some examples, the upper hinge and the lower hinge can be arranged in coordination, and in other examples, the side hinge can be arranged.
[0044] Optionally, a detection member 21 is provided on the door body 2, and the detection member 21 is used to detect the opening and closing state of the door body 2; the lock key 11 is connected to the detection member 21 in communication, and when the detection member 21 detects that the door body 2 is in a closed state, the lock key 11 restores the locking function. By providing the detection member 21, the opening and closing state of the door body 2 is detected to ensure that the door body 2 is in a closed state, and to avoid starting the washing program when the door body 2 is open. In some examples, the detection member 21 can be a micro switch.
[0045] Optionally, the clothing processing device also includes a control board, which is communicatively connected to the detection element 21; the detection element 21 generates a first signal and sends it to the control board when the door body is in a closed state; the control board is also communicatively connected to the lock key 22, and the control board is used to send a second signal to the lock key 22 when receiving the first signal, and the lock key 22 is in a standby state after receiving the second signal, that is, the locking function is restored.
[0046] Furthermore, after the lock button 11 resumes the locking function, it has a key feedback when it is pressed, and the key feedback includes but is not limited to prompt sound, vibration, flashing signal light, etc. That is, when the door body 2 is closed, when the lock button 11 is pressed, key feedback will be generated to the user, and by receiving the key feedback, it can be known whether the door body 2 is locked successfully. If the door body 2 is locked successfully, the start button 12 can be pressed to start the washing program.
[0047] As a specific implementation, the button feedback can be vibration. When the door body 2 is closed and the lock button 11 is pressed, vibration is generated at the same time. After the user receives the vibration, he knows that the door body 2 is locked successfully, and presses the start button 12 to start the washing program. If no vibration is received, you can try to press the lock button 11 several times. If no vibration is received, it means that the door body 2 is not closed, or the lock button 11 is faulty, and troubleshooting should be performed.
[0048] The present application also provides a detection circuit of the detection element 21, see Figure 5 The detection circuit includes a connector CN8, which has a first connection end, a second connection end, a first interface and a second interface. The first interface and the second interface are used to connect a micro switch. The first connection end is connected to a power supply, and the second connection end is grounded. When the micro switch is connected, if the second connection end outputs a high-level signal, it is determined that the micro switch is turned on; if the second connection end outputs a low-level signal, it is determined that the micro switch is closed.
[0049] Furthermore, a first resistor R59 is provided between the second connection end and the ground, a signal detection end is provided between the first resistor R59 and the second connection end, the signal detection end also includes a second resistor R31 and a third resistor R32 connected in series, a first capacitor C35 is provided between the signal detection end and the ground, and a second capacitor C36 is provided between the power supply and the ground.
[0050] The present application also provides a control method for a clothes processing device. Figure 2 , applicable to the above-mentioned clothes processing device, the method comprises the following steps:
[0051] Step S101: in response to the closed state of the door body 2, obtaining the locking state of the locking key 11;
[0052] Step S102: if the locking action of the lock key 11 is detected, the on / off state of the start key 12 is obtained;
[0053] Step S103: If the start button 12 is detected to be turned on, the washing program is started.
[0054] By executing the above steps S101 to S103, it is ensured that after the door body 2 is closed, if the locking action of the locking key 11 is detected, whether to start the washing program is determined according to the opening and closing state of the start key 12. By adding a locking action detection step of the locking key 11 before starting the washing program, an additional insurance is provided for the opening of the clothing processing device to prevent the clothing processing device from starting the washing program with one button due to accidental touch by the user, and ensure that the clothing processing device is turned on when there is a need for cleaning. At the same time, the locking key 11 locks the door body 2 to ensure that the door body 2 of the clothing processing device is in a locked state during the washing process, preventing young children from opening the door body 2 and entering the drum by mistake during the washing process, thereby improving the safety of the device.
[0055] Optionally, the door body 2 is provided with a detection member 21, which is used to detect the open and closed state of the door body 2. Before executing step S101 in response to the closed state of the door body 2, the method further includes: if a first signal emitted by the detection member 21 is obtained, it is determined that the door body is in a closed state. That is, the detection of the detection member 21 ensures that the door body 2 is in a closed state, and the automatic detection of the open and closed state of the door body 2 is achieved.
[0056] Optionally, starting the washing program in step S103 includes: calculating the time difference between the start action of the start key 12 and the lock action of the lock key 11; if the time difference is within a preset time length, starting the washing program.
[0057] That is, by further limiting the difference between the opening time of the start key 12 and the lock key 11, the washing program can be started only when the difference between the opening time of the start key 12 and the lock key 11 meets the preset time, so as to avoid accidentally touching the start key 12 again after a long time after the lock key 11 is pressed to lock the door 2, thereby improving the safety of the device. The value of the preset time is not further limited here, for example, it can be 1min, 2min or 3min, etc.
[0058] Optionally, if the turning-on action of the start button 12 is detected during execution of step S103, before starting the washing program, the method further includes: responding to verification data input by the user, the verification data including at least one of fingerprint data, password data, face data and iris data; verifying the verification data based on preset data; and obtaining the on / off status of the start button 12 if the verification passes.
[0059] That is, if the verification data entered by the user is received, the verification data can be verified based on the preset data. If the verification is passed, it indicates that the user is a legitimate user preset by the system to operate the clothing processing device, and then the monitoring of the opening and closing status of the start button 12 can be turned on. If the opening action of the start button 12 is detected, the washing program can be started.
[0060] Understandably, see Figure 3 Before turning on the start button 12, verification data can be input for verification so that the start button 12 has the start function, or the door body 2 can be locked by the lock button 11 so that the start button 12 has the start function. The user can choose one of the methods to make the start button 12 have the start function, and further press the start button 12 to start the washing program. By adding a verification or door body 2 locking step before starting the washing program, the start conditions of the washing program of the clothing processing equipment are increased, reducing the risk of accidental touch.
[0061] It should be noted that after pressing the start button 12, the system defaults to the normal washing program. If you need to select other programs such as dehydration or large-piece washing, wool washing, etc., you can further manually select the corresponding program.
[0062] In some examples, the clothing processing device may be provided with a fingerprint recognition module, a display module, a control module and a storage module. The fingerprint recognition module is installed on the panel of the clothing processing device and is used to collect the fingerprint information of the user. The display module is used to display information such as the fingerprint recognition result and the operating status of the clothing processing device. The storage module is used to store the user's fingerprint information, washing scheme and other data. Further, the storage module can also be used to store the user's washing habit data, such as commonly used washing modes, water temperature, washing time, etc. The control module is used to compare the fingerprint information collected by the fingerprint recognition module with the fingerprint information stored in the storage module. Further, the control module can also recommend a more suitable washing scheme based on the user's washing habit data, further improving the convenience and personalization of the use of the washing machine. Specifically, the method may also include the following steps: the user's fingerprint information is collected by the fingerprint recognition module; the fingerprint recognition module compares the collected fingerprint information with the fingerprint information pre-stored in the storage module; if the fingerprint information matches successfully, the control module starts the washing machine according to the pre-set washing scheme corresponding to the user; if the fingerprint information matches unsuccessfully, the display module prompts the user that the fingerprint recognition fails and the washing machine cannot be started. Its working principle is:
[0063] When using a washing machine, the user first places his finger on the fingerprint recognition module for fingerprint recognition. The fingerprint recognition module compares the collected fingerprint information with the fingerprint information pre-stored in the storage module. If the fingerprint information matches successfully, the control module starts the washing machine according to the pre-set washing plan corresponding to the user. If the fingerprint information fails to match, the display module prompts the user that the fingerprint recognition failed and the washing machine cannot be started. The storage module is also used to store the user's washing habit data, such as commonly used washing modes, water temperature, washing time, etc. The control module can recommend a more suitable washing plan based on the user's washing habit data, further improving the convenience and personalization of the washing machine.
[0064] Optionally, if the verification is successful, the method further includes: controlling the lock key 11 to lock the door 2. By controlling the lock key 11 to automatically lock the door 2 after the verification data is verified, the door 2 of the laundry processing device is ensured to be in a locked state during the washing process, preventing young children from opening the door and entering the drum by mistake, thereby improving the safety performance of the device. Since the user's identity has been verified through data, the user does not need to manually press the lock key 11, thereby improving the intelligence and automation performance of the laundry processing device.
[0065] The present application also provides a control device for a clothes processing device. Figure 4 The device includes an acquisition module 3 and a start module 4. The acquisition module 3 is configured to acquire the locking state of the lock key 11 in response to the closing state of the door body 2; if the locking action of the lock key 11 is detected, the start module 4 is configured to start the washing program if the start action of the start key 12 is detected.
[0066] The embodiment of the present application also provides a storage medium, which stores control instructions. When the control instructions are executed by the processor, the control method of the clothing processing device described above is implemented. The method includes the following steps: in response to the closing action of the door body 2, the locking state of the lock key 11 is obtained; if the locking action of the lock key 11 is detected, the opening and closing state of the start key 12 is obtained; if the opening action of the start key 12 is detected, the washing program is started.
[0067] The embodiment of the present application also provides an electronic device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, and the processor implements the control method of the above-mentioned clothing processing device when executing the computer program. The method includes the following steps: in response to the closing action of the door body 2, the locking state of the locking key 11 is obtained; if the locking action of the locking key 11 is detected, the opening and closing state of the start key 12 is obtained; if the opening action of the start key 12 is detected, the washing program is started.
