Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of clothing treatment, and particularly provides a control method for a clothing treatment device and a clothing treatment device. Background Art

[0002] Clothing treatment devices are essential tools in people's lives, bringing great convenience to people's lives. With the development and progress of technology, clothing treatment devices are becoming more and more intelligent and user-friendly, but there is still much room for optimization in many functions.

[0003] After people buy new clothes, they usually wash the new clothes before wearing them. For this purpose, a new clothes wash program is usually set. After the new clothes wash program is selected, the new clothes wash program is executed. However, when dealing with new clothes, users often forget to select the new clothes wash program, resulting in the clothing treatment device being unable to match the optimal washing program for the clothes, resulting in a poor washing effect of the clothes and affecting the user experience.

[0004] Correspondingly, there is a need in the art for a new control method for a clothing treatment device and a clothing treatment device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above technical problems, that is, to solve the problem of poor washing effect when the clothing treatment device processes new clothes in the prior art.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a control method for a clothing treatment device, the control method comprising: obtaining a clothing washing instruction; in a case where the clothing washing instruction is not a new clothes washing instruction, determining whether the clothing to be processed is new clothes; and in a case where the determination result is yes, executing a new clothes washing program.

[0007] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, when the clothes washed by the user are new clothes or include new clothes, the user sometimes forgets to select the new clothes washing program. If the new clothes washing program is not selected, the clothing treatment device will automatically determine whether the clothing to be processed is new clothes. In a case where the determination result is yes, even if the program selected by the user is not the new clothes washing program, the new clothes washing program is still executed, thereby providing the optimal washing method for the new clothes, improving the washing effect of the new clothes, and enhancing the user experience.

[0008] In a specific embodiment of the above control method for a clothing treatment device, the step of "executing a new clothes washing program" further comprises: determining whether the material of the clothing to be processed is a wrinkle-prone fabric; and based on the determination result, determining the washing mode of the clothing to be processed.

[0009] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, different washing modes are selected for clothing to be processed with different materials to achieve a better washing effect for new clothes.

[0010] In the specific implementation of the control method of the above-mentioned clothing treatment device, the step of "determining the washing mode of the clothing to be treated based on the judgment result" further includes: if the material of the clothing to be treated is a wrinkle-prone fabric, then execute the cold water washing mode; after the step of "executing the cold water washing mode", the control method further includes: after the cold water washing mode ends, execute the air washing mode.

[0011] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, if the material of the clothing to be treated is a wrinkle-prone fabric, such as silk or linen fabric, cold water washing is required, which is not easy to produce wrinkles. In addition, it avoids damaging the fibers of the fabric, resulting in shrinkage or deformation of the clothing. Moreover, it also avoids the problem of fading and maintains the color and brightness of the clothing; after the cold water washing ends, execute the air washing mode. Through the air washing mode, non-destructive care of the clothing to be treated can be achieved, including wrinkle removal, color protection, fluffing, sterilization, etc.

[0012] In the specific implementation of the control method of the above-mentioned clothing treatment device, after the step of "executing the air washing mode", the control method further includes: sending a first reminder message to remind the user to evaluate the wrinkle removal result of the clothing.

[0013] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, by sending a first reminder message, the user is reminded to evaluate the wrinkle removal effect of the clothing after the air washing mode, so as to determine the treatment method for clothing of the same material in the future.

[0014] In the specific implementation of the control method of the above-mentioned clothing treatment device, after the step of "sending a first reminder message", the control method further includes: if the first message is received, then execute the cold water washing mode and the air washing mode for all the clothing to be treated of the same material thereafter; and / or if the second message is received, then after the cold water washing mode ends for the clothing to be treated of the same material thereafter, send a second reminder message to remind the user to perform wrinkle removal treatment on the clothing.

[0015] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, if the user's evaluation result is the first message, such as a positive feedback indicating satisfaction with the wrinkle removal result, then execute the cold water washing mode and the air washing mode for all the clothing to be treated of the same material thereafter; if the user's evaluation result is the second message, such as a negative feedback indicating dissatisfaction with the wrinkle removal result, then after the cold water washing mode ends for the clothing to be treated of the same material thereafter, send a second reminder message to remind the user to perform wrinkle removal treatment on the clothing.

[0016] In the specific implementation of the control method of the above-mentioned clothing treatment device, the step of "determining the washing mode of the clothing to be treated based on the judgment result" further includes: if the material of the clothing to be treated is not a wrinkle-prone fabric, then execute the normal washing mode.

[0017] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, if the material of the clothing to be treated is not a wrinkle-prone fabric, such as synthetic fiber fabric or cotton fabric, then the normal washing mode is adopted, such as warm water washing, which can ensure a certain cleaning effect and will not waste too much energy by heating to a higher temperature.

[0018] In the specific implementation of the control method of the above-mentioned clothing treatment device, after the step of "executing the normal washing mode", the control method further includes: judging whether the clothing to be treated is outerwear; after the step of "judging whether the clothing to be treated is outerwear", the control method further includes: determining the rinsing mode of the clothing to be treated based on the judgment result.

[0019] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, since outerwear usually has more dirt and may also have an odor, it is necessary to first judge whether the clothing to be treated is outerwear, and then determine the rinsing mode of the clothing to be treated according to the judgment result.

[0020] In the specific implementation of the control method of the above-mentioned clothing treatment device, the step of "determining the rinsing mode of the clothing to be treated based on the judgment result" further includes: if the clothing to be treated is outerwear, then after the normal washing mode ends, execute the hot rinse mode; and / or if the clothing to be treated is not outerwear, then after the normal washing mode ends, execute the cold rinse mode.

[0021] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, if the clothing to be treated is outerwear, then there is more dirt and a stronger odor, so it is necessary to adopt the hot rinse mode to improve the ability to remove stains, dirt and odors and better rinse the clothing; if the clothing to be treated is not outerwear, then the cold rinse mode can achieve a good rinsing effect and save energy.

[0022] In the specific implementation of the control method of the above-mentioned clothing treatment device, the step of "judging whether the clothing to be treated is new" further includes: obtaining the radio frequency tag number of the clothing to be treated; judging whether the radio frequency tag number is the same as the pre-stored radio frequency tag number; if not, then determining that the clothing to be treated is new; and / or if the radio frequency tag number is the same as any pre-stored radio frequency tag number, then determining that the clothing to be treated is not new; wherein, the pre-stored radio frequency tag number is the radio frequency tag number of the pre-stored processed clothing.

[0023] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, the judgment on whether the to-be-processed clothing is new clothing is realized.

[0024] In a second aspect, the present invention further provides a clothing treatment device, which includes: a processor; a memory, the memory is adapted to store multiple program codes, and the program codes are adapted to be loaded and run by the processor to execute the control method of the clothing treatment device according to any one of claims 1-9.

[0031] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, although the steps of the control method of the present invention are described in a specific order in this application, these orders are not restrictive. Without departing from the basic principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can execute the steps in a different order.

[0032] Based on the problem pointed out in the background art that the washing effect of existing laundry treatment equipment is poor when treating new clothes, the present invention provides a control method and a laundry treatment equipment for the laundry treatment equipment, aiming to judge whether the laundry to be treated is new when the laundry washing instruction is not a new clothes washing instruction, and execute the new clothes washing program when the judgment result is yes, so as to realize the purpose of providing the optimal washing method for new clothes when the laundry treatment equipment treats new clothes and improving the washing effect of new clothes.

[0033] The laundry treatment equipment of the present invention includes a processor and a memory. The memory is suitable for storing multiple program codes, and the program codes are suitable for being loaded and run by the processor to execute the control method of the laundry treatment equipment. The processor can be a central processing unit, or other general-purpose processors, digital signal processors, application-specific integrated circuits, field-programmable gate arrays or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, etc. The general-purpose processor can be a microprocessor or any conventional processor, etc. The memory can be an internal storage unit of the laundry treatment equipment, such as a hard disk or a memory, etc.; the memory can also be an external storage device of the laundry treatment equipment. For example, a plug-in hard disk, a smart memory card, a secure digital card, a flash card, etc. equipped on the laundry treatment equipment; the memory can also include both the internal storage unit and the external storage unit of the laundry treatment equipment. The laundry treatment equipment can include multiple memories and multiple processors. Each processor executes different steps respectively. The multiple processors can be processors deployed on the same device, or processors deployed on different devices. For example, the multiple processors can be the processor on the laundry treatment equipment and the processor on the cloud server respectively.

[0034] It should be noted that the laundry treatment equipment of the present invention can be a washing machine, a washing and drying integrated machine, etc., which can wash and treat clothes, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0035] First, refer to Figure 1 , which shows the main step flow of the control method of the laundry treatment equipment of the present invention, specifically including the following steps:

[0036] Step S100: Obtain a laundry washing instruction.

[0037] Step S101: Judge whether the laundry to be treated is new when the laundry washing instruction is not a new clothes washing instruction.

[0038] Step S102: When the judgment result is yes, execute the new clothes washing program.

[0039] When the clothes washed by the user are new clothes or include new clothes, sometimes the user forgets to select the new clothes washing program. If the new clothes washing program is not selected, the clothes processing device will automatically judge whether the clothes to be processed are new clothes. When the judgment result is yes, even if the user does not select the new clothes washing program, the new clothes washing program is still executed, thereby providing the optimal washing method for new clothes, improving the washing effect of new clothes, and enhancing the user experience.

[0040] Among them, regarding the issuance of the "clothes washing instruction", it can be issued by operating the control panel on the clothes processing device after the user places the clothes, or an instruction can be issued through a mobile terminal or a remote control.

[0041] Refer to Figure 2 , which shows the detailed step flow of an implementation manner of the control method of the clothes processing device of the present invention, specifically including the following steps:

[0042] Step S200: Obtain a clothes washing instruction.

[0043] Step S201: Judge whether the clothes washing instruction is a new clothes washing instruction. If the judgment result is yes, execute Step S202; if the judgment result is no, execute Step S203.

[0044] Step S202: Judge whether the material of the clothes to be processed is a wrinkle-prone fabric. If the judgment result is yes, execute Step S205; if the judgment result is no, execute Step S206.

[0045] Step S203: Judge whether the clothes to be processed are new clothes. If the judgment result is yes, execute Step S202; if the judgment result is no, execute Step S204.

[0046] Step S204: Execute the program corresponding to the obtained clothes washing instruction.

[0047] Step S205: Execute the cold water washing mode. After Step S205, execute Step S207.

[0048] Step S206: Execute the normal washing mode. After Step S206, execute Step S208.

[0049] Step S207: Execute the air washing mode. After Step S207, execute Step S209.

[0050] Step S208: Determine whether the clothing to be processed is outerwear. If the determination result is yes, execute Step S210; if the determination result is no, execute Step S211.

[0051] Step S209: Send a first reminder message.

[0052] Step S210: After the normal washing mode ends, execute the hot bleaching mode.

[0053] Step S211: After the normal washing mode ends, execute the cold bleaching mode.

[0054] Through the above embodiments, when executing the new clothing washing program, different washing modes and rinsing modes can be selected for the clothing to be processed with different materials and uses, so as to achieve better new clothing washing and rinsing effects.

[0055] Specifically, in Step S209, a first reminder message is sent to remind the user to evaluate the result of removing wrinkles from the clothing. The evaluation method can be operated on the control panel of the clothing processing device or on the mobile terminal. The evaluation result can be a voice message, a text message, or a button selection, etc.

[0056] After Step S209, if the first message is received, the cold water washing mode and the air washing mode are executed for all the clothing to be processed with the same material thereafter; if the second message is received, a second reminder message is sent after the cold water washing mode ends for the clothing to be processed with the same material thereafter to remind the user to perform wrinkle removal on the clothing. Among them, the first message is used to represent positive feedback. Specifically, the first message is a message that is satisfied with the result of removing wrinkles. The second message is used to represent negative feedback. Specifically, the second message is a message that is not satisfied with the result of removing wrinkles. Exemplarily, when the user inputs the text "satisfied" on the terminal APP or triggers the control representing "satisfied", the clothing processing device can receive the first message. When the user inputs the text "not satisfied" on the terminal APP or triggers the control representing "not satisfied", the clothing processing device can receive the second message. In addition, for wrinkle removal of the clothing, a clothing care machine or an ironing machine can be used for wrinkle removal.

[0057] It should be noted that the forms of the first reminder message and the second reminder message may include, but are not limited to, voice-type information, text-type information, light-type information, etc.; the entities that send the first reminder message and the second reminder message may include, but are not limited to, laundry treatment devices and terminal devices, etc.; the specific reminder method may be any combination of the above reminder forms and reminder entities, as long as it can achieve the effect of reminding the user. Those skilled in the art can select according to the specific needs in actual applications and are not specifically limited herein. Among them, for voice-type information, the reminder message can be sent to the user by voice broadcasting or the user can be reminded by a beeping prompt tone; for text-type information, the reminder message can be sent to the user by popping up a floating window or scrolling playback; for light-type information, it can be a light that stays on for a long time or flashes intermittently. The settings of the above reminder methods are only for illustrative purposes and can be selected according to actual needs in actual applications.

[0058] In addition, regarding the cold water washing mode, normal washing mode, cold bleaching mode, and hot bleaching mode, the washing mode requires adding detergent and water to wash the clothes, and the washing time is relatively long. The bleaching mode only requires water injection for washing, and the washing time is relatively short; as a possible implementation method, the cold water washing mode represents a washing mode with the water temperature in the range of 20°C to 30°C. The clothes washed in cold water are not easy to wrinkle, and it can also avoid damaging the fibers of the fabric, resulting in shrinkage or deformation of the clothes, and can also avoid fading problems, maintaining the color and brightness of the clothes, and is suitable for processing clothes made of easily wrinkled fabrics; the normal washing mode is a common washing method of laundry treatment devices, representing a washing mode with the water temperature in the range of 30°C to 40°C. It can ensure a certain cleaning effect without wasting too much energy by heating to a higher temperature, and is suitable for washing clothes made of fabrics that are not easy to wrinkle; the cold bleaching mode represents a bleaching mode with the water temperature in the range of 20°C to 30°C, and is suitable for processing clothes made of fabrics that are not easy to wrinkle and are not worn outside. It can achieve a good bleaching effect without heating, effectively saving energy; the hot bleaching mode represents a bleaching mode with the water temperature above 40°C, which can effectively improve the ability to remove stains, dirt, and odors, and better bleach clothes worn outside.

[0059] Possibly, for easily wrinkled fabrics, they can be silk and linen fabrics. Due to their characteristics of being easy to wrinkle, deform, and fade, etc., cold water washing needs to be adopted to achieve a better washing effect. In addition, after cold water washing, the air washing mode is executed. Through the air washing mode, damage-free care of the clothes to be processed can be realized, including anti-wrinkle, color protection, fluffing, sterilization, etc.

[0060] Refer to the following Figure 3 , which shows the detailed step flow of an implementation method for the present invention to determine whether the clothes to be processed are new clothes, specifically including the following steps:

[0061] Step S300: Obtain the RFID tag number of the clothing to be processed.

[0062] Step S301: Determine whether the RFID tag number is the same as the pre-stored RFID tag number. If the judgment result is yes, execute Step S302; if the judgment result is no, execute Step S303.

[0063] Step S302: Determine that the clothing to be processed is not new.

[0064] Step S303: Determine that the clothing to be processed is new.

[0065] It should be noted that the pre-stored RFID tag number in Step S301 is the RFID tag number of the processed clothing that has been pre-stored; specifically, each piece of clothing to be processed is provided with an RFID tag, and an RFID reader is provided on the clothing processing device. The RFID tag on the clothing to be processed is identified by the RFID reader, and the RFID tag number stored in the RFID tag is obtained. Each time the clothing processing device processes clothing, the RFID tag on the clothing is identified, and the RFID tag number is pre-stored on the clothing processing device and / or the server.

[0066] In addition, since the number of each RFID tag is a unique number, it is possible to determine whether the clothing to be processed is new by judging whether the RFID tag number is the same as the pre-stored RFID tag number. It should be noted that in Step S302, the judgment result that the RFID tag number is the same as the pre-stored RFID tag number being yes specifically means that the RFID tag number is the same as any one of the pre-stored RFID tag numbers, then the judgment result is yes; in Step S303, the judgment result that the RFID tag number is the same as the pre-stored RFID tag number being no specifically means that the RFID tag number is not the same as each of the pre-stored RFID tag numbers, then the judgment result is no.

[0067] Those skilled in the art can understand that although it is described above that Figure 3 by obtaining the RFID tag number and comparing it with the pre-stored RFID tag number to determine whether the clothing to be processed is new, this is not restrictive. A two-dimensional code or a bar code can also be set on the clothing to be processed. The two-dimensional code or the bar code is scanned by a scanner to obtain the unique number information of the clothing to be processed, and then it is compared with the pre-stored number information. If the number information is the same as any one of the pre-stored number information, it is determined that the clothing to be processed is not new. If the number information is the same as each of the pre-stored number information, it is determined that the clothing to be processed is new.

[0068] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the principle of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can adjust the above embodiments so that the present invention can be applied to more specific application scenarios.

[0069] So far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings. However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
