[0011] When it is detected that the washing machine is in the powered-on state, controlling the packaging bolt of the washing machine to perform a first operation;

[0012] The first operation includes controlling the packaging bolt to automatically pop out to a first preset position.

[0013] Further, detecting the powered-on state of the washing machine includes that the washing machine is in the first powered-on state.

[0014] Further, after the packaging bolt performs the first operation, when it is detected that the washing machine is in the powered-on state again, controlling the packaging bolt to always maintain the popped-out state.

[0015] Further, after the washing machine performs the first operation, it is possible to control the packaging bolt of the washing machine to perform a second operation; the second operation includes controlling the packaging bolt to reset to the original position.

[0016] Further, the packaging bolt resetting to the original position includes controlling the packaging bolt to automatically reset to the original position; or, the user manually presses the packaging bolt to the original position.

[0017] Further, after the packaging bolt performs the second operation, when it is detected that the washing machine is in the powered-on state again, controlling the packaging bolt to continue to perform the first operation.

[0018] Further, when the packaging bolt automatically pops out to the first preset position, controlling the packaging bolt to always maintain the connection state with the washing machine.

[0019] Further, in the first powered-on state of the washing machine, if it is not detected that the packaging bolt performs the first operation, stop running the washing program and send a reminder message.

[0020] According to another object of the present invention, there is also provided a washing machine applying the above control method for the packaging bolt.

[0021] Further, an electromagnetic bolt is provided inside the washing machine, and after the washing machine is powered on, the electromagnetic bolt automatically pops out a certain distance.

[0022] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0023] In the present invention, when it is detected that the washing machine is in the powered-on state, the packaging bolts of the washing machine are controlled to automatically pop outwards to a first preset position, so that the packaging bolts are detached from the cylinder body, ensuring the normal use of the cylinder body, avoiding the user forgetting to remove the packaging bolts and affecting the vibration damping effect of the washing machine, and improving the actual experience of the user.

[0024] In the present invention, when the user needs to fix the cylinder body with the packaging bolts, the packaging bolts of the washing machine are controlled to reset to the original position, so that the packaging bolts are installed on the cylinder body again, maintaining the fixed state of the cylinder body and the packaging bolts, thereby facilitating the user to move the washing machine and ensuring the stability of the cylinder body.

[0034] Currently, for the washing machines purchased by users, before the first power-on, it is easy to forget to remove the packing bolts, which affects the vibration damping effect of the drum and is also likely to cause damage to the washing machine.

[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] To solve the above problems, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, this embodiment provides a control method for packing bolts, including:

[0037] When it is detected that the washing machine is in the powered-on state, control the packing bolts of the washing machine to perform a first operation;

[0038] The first operation includes controlling the packing bolts to automatically pop out to a first preset position.

[0039] In this embodiment, packing bolts are provided inside the washing machine. The packing bolts are installed on the drum of the washing machine and are used to fix the drum to prevent the drum from shaking significantly during transportation, thereby helping to ensure the stability of the drum and reducing the possibility of damage to the drum.

[0040] When the washing machine reaches the user's home, due to the negligence of the installer or the consumer, it may be forgotten to remove the transportation bolts. Although the washing machine can be used, since the vibration damping mechanism does not play its due vibration damping role, there are often problems of large vibrations during the operation of the washing machine, and over time, it will cause damage to the drum.

[0041] In the above solution, when it is detected that the washing machine is in the powered-on state, that is, after the washing machine is powered on, the washing machine controls the packing bolt inside it to perform a first operation, so that the packing bolt can be disengaged from the cylinder body, avoiding the influence of the packing bolt on the vibration damping effect of the washing machine, improving the stability of the washing machine, and thus enhancing the user experience.

[0042] In a further solution, the first operation includes controlling the packing bolt to automatically pop out to a first preset position.

[0043] The first preset position refers to a certain length that the packing bolt pops outwards, so that the packing bolt can be disengaged from the cylinder body. The first preset position can be adaptively adjusted according to specific usage requirements and will not be elaborated here.

[0044] Specifically, when it is detected that the washing machine is in the powered-on state, the control starts to automatically pop out the packing bolt of the washing machine to the first preset position, that is, the packing bolt automatically pops out a certain length, so that the packing bolt is disengaged from the cylinder body, ensuring the normal use of the cylinder body, and avoiding the situation that the user forgets to remove the packing bolt and affects the vibration damping effect of the washing machine, thereby improving the actual experience of the user.

[0045] In this embodiment, if the first operation of the packing bolt is not detected before the washing program of the washing machine, it is considered that the packing bolt has not popped out of the cylinder body, which may affect the rotation effect of the cylinder body. Therefore, when the washing machine does not detect the first operation of the packing bolt, the washing machine is controlled to stop running the selected washing program to avoid damage to the cylinder body during the washing process due to the failure to remove the packing bolt in time.

[0046] In the above solution, the state of the packing bolt is detected after the washing machine is powered on. If the packing bolt is in the popped state, the washing machine is controlled to continue executing the washing program selected by the user. If the packing bolt is in the fixed state, the washing machine is controlled to execute the above process.

[0047] Further, detecting the powered-on state of the washing machine includes that the washing machine is in the first powered-on state.

[0048] Specifically, when the purchased washing machine is in the first powered-on state, the state of the packing bolt is detected, and the first operation of the packing bolt is controlled, that is, the packing bolt is controlled to automatically pop out a certain length, so that the packing bolt is disengaged from the cylinder body, improving its stability. And the above setting is to avoid detecting the state of the packing bolt every time the user starts the washing machine after it is powered on. According to the above setting, only when the washing machine is powered on for the first time, the packing bolt is controlled to automatically pop out. In subsequent powered-on situations, the packing bolt is no longer controlled to perform an operation, avoiding repeated operations of the washing machine from affecting the user's laundry progress and improving the intelligence level of the washing machine.

[0049] In a further solution of this embodiment, after the packaging bolt performs the first operation, when it is detected that the washing machine is powered on again, the packaging bolt is controlled to always maintain the ejected state.

[0050] Specifically, after the washing machine is powered on for the first time, the packaging bolt is controlled to automatically eject a certain length, so that the packaging bolt is disengaged from the cylinder. After the subsequent power-on and startup of the washing machine, there is no need to control the packaging bolt to perform an operation. Just controlling the packaging bolt to maintain the above-mentioned ejected state, that is, the packaging bolt is always disengaged from the cylinder, further ensuring the vibration damping effect of the cylinder and improving the user experience.

[0051] Embodiment Two

[0052] This embodiment is a further description of the above Embodiment One.

[0053] As Figure 2 shown, further, after the washing machine performs the first operation, it includes controlling the packaging bolt of the washing machine to perform a second operation.

[0054] Specifically, when the washing machine purchased by the user is in the first power-on state, the packaging bolt of the washing machine is controlled to perform the first operation, that is, controlling the packaging bolt to automatically eject, preventing the user from not removing the packaging bolt in time and affecting the vibration damping effect of the washing machine.

[0055] In the actual use process, the user may move house or move the washing machine. At this time, the user needs the packaging bolt to continue to fix the cylinder, so as to prevent the cylinder from being damaged due to the shaking of the washing machine.

[0056] In a further solution, after the packaging bolt of the washing machine performs the first operation, the packaging bolt can also be controlled to perform a second operation, so that the packaging bolt is reinstalled on the cylinder to continue to fix the cylinder, avoiding the cylinder from shaking during transportation and ensuring the stability of the cylinder.

[0057] In this embodiment, the second operation includes controlling the packaging bolt to reset to the original position.

[0058] Specifically, when the user needs the packaging bolt to fix the cylinder, the packaging bolt of the washing machine is controlled to reset to the original position, so that the packaging bolt is reinstalled on the cylinder and the fixed state between the cylinder and the packaging bolt is maintained.

[0059] In this embodiment, the packaging bolt can be an electromagnetic bolt. After the washing machine is powered on, the electromagnetic bolt can be controlled so that the electromagnetic bolt automatically ejects a certain length or resets to the original position.

[0060] In one solution of this embodiment, the packaging bolt is reset to its original position, including controlling the packaging bolt to automatically reset to its original position.

[0061] Specifically, when the washing machine is powered on for the first time, control the electromagnetic bolt to cut off the power, resulting in the disappearance of the magnetic attraction force, so that the electromagnetic bolt pops outwards by a first preset length.

[0062] When the user needs the electromagnetic bolt to fix the barrel, control the electromagnetic bolt to be powered on, generate a magnetic attraction force to attract the electromagnetic bolt to automatically reset to its original position, so that the electromagnetic bolt is installed on the barrel, preventing the barrel from shaking during movement and ensuring the stability and vibration reduction effect of the barrel.

[0063] In another solution of this embodiment, the user manually presses the packaging bolt to its original position.

[0064] Specifically, when the user needs to fix the electromagnetic bolt to the barrel, the electromagnetic bolt can be manually pressed so that the electromagnetic bolt resets to its original position, realizing the re-fixation of the electromagnetic bolt to the barrel, avoiding the barrel from shaking during movement, and further ensuring the vibration reduction effect of the washing machine.

[0065] Further, after the packaging bolt executes the second operation, if it is detected that the washing machine is in the powered-on state again, control the packaging bolt to continue to execute the first operation.

[0066] Specifically, when the washing machine executes the second operation, that is, the packaging bolt of the washing machine resets to its original position. At this time, the packaging bolt needs to be removed from the barrel to prevent affecting the rotation effect of the barrel. When the washing machine is in the powered-on state again, control the packaging bolt to execute the first operation again, that is, control the packaging bolt to automatically pop out a certain length, so that the packaging bolt detaches from the barrel, ensuring the rotation effect and vibration reduction effect of the barrel.

[0067] In this embodiment, when the packaging bolt automatically pops out to the first preset position, control the packaging bolt to always maintain a connection state with the washing machine.

[0068] Specifically, when the packaging bolt executes the first operation, that is, the packaging bolt automatically pops out to the first preset position. At this time, the packaging bolt detaches from the barrel, but the packaging bolt does not completely fall out of the barrel. Instead, the packaging bolt is no longer fixed in the barrel and maintains a connection state with the barrel. The above connection state can be understood as that the packaging bolt is not fixed to the barrel but does not separate.

[0069] Such a setting is for the user may need the packaging bolt to fix the barrel again, facilitating the user to ensure the stability of the barrel when moving the washing machine, and preventing the barrel from shaking and thus causing damage to the barrel.

[0070] Such as Figure 3As shown, further, in the state where the washing machine is powered on for the first time, if the packing bolt is not detected to perform the first operation, the washing program is stopped and a reminder message is sent.

[0071] Specifically, when the washing machine purchased by the user is powered on for the first time, if the packing bolt is not detected to perform the first operation, it is considered that the packing bolt has not been removed from the cylinder. At this time, the washing machine is controlled to stop running the washing program to avoid damage to the cylinder caused by the packing bolt. At this time, the user needs to check the status of the packing bolt in time, and the washing machine is controlled to actively send a reminder message to remind the user.

[0072] In a solution of this embodiment, when the washing machine does not detect that the packing bolt has not performed the first operation, the sound module of the washing machine is controlled to emit an alarm sound to remind the user to check the status of the packing bolt in time so that the user can remove the packing bolt from the cylinder in time.

[0073] In another solution of this embodiment, the washing machine can be bound to the user's terminal device. When the washing machine does not detect that the packing bolt performs the first operation, the washing machine stops running the washing program and sends a reminder message to the user's terminal device to remind the user to check the status of the packing bolt, so that the user can discover and remove the packing bolt in time to ensure the vibration reduction effect of the cylinder.

[0074] Embodiment Three

[0075] This embodiment is a further description of the above Embodiments One and Two.

[0076] According to another object of the present invention, a washing machine is further provided, which applies the control method of the packing bolt described above.

[0077] In this embodiment, an electromagnetic bolt and a cylinder are provided in the washing machine, and the electromagnetic bolt is installed on the cylinder.

[0078] Specifically, after the washing machine is powered on for the first time, the electromagnetic bolt automatically pops out a certain distance, so that the electromagnetic bolt is separated from the cylinder to ensure the vibration reduction effect of the cylinder. When it is necessary to fix the cylinder, the electromagnetic bolt is controlled to automatically reset to the original position to realize the fixed installation of the electromagnetic bolt and the cylinder and ensure the stability of the cylinder.

[0079] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and there is no restriction on the present invention in any form. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with the preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art of this patent, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention, can make some changes or modifications using the technical content prompted above to form equivalent embodiments of equivalent changes.
