Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of household appliances, and particularly to a control method, a device, and a laundry treatment device for a laundry treatment device. Background Art

[0002] Since the operation time of conventional laundry washing and drying is very long, after the user starts the washing or drying program of the laundry treatment device, the user generally no longer pays attention to the washing process. In some cases, although the laundry treatment device has completed the washing or drying operation and has output a prompt message or voice, the user forgets that there are still clothes in the laundry treatment device and fails to open the door in time to take out the clothes. And after the user forgets that the clothes are placed in the laundry treatment device, even if the user passes by the laundry treatment device, because the door of the laundry treatment device is in the closed state, it cannot prompt the user and the user cannot recall the above event.

[0003] And the clothes that have been washed or dried and are placed in the laundry treatment device for a long time may have various problems. For example, if the laundry treatment device is a washing machine, the clothes will mildew due to the high humidity environment when they are enclosed in the laundry treatment device for a long time. For another example, if the laundry treatment device is a dryer, the dried clothes will have serious wrinkles that need to be ironed out because they are not spread out and sorted in time when they are placed in the laundry treatment device for a long time.

[0035] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Instead, these embodiments are provided to more thoroughly and completely understand the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are only for exemplary purposes and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0036] As used herein, the term "including" and its variants are open-ended, that is, "including but not limited to". The term "based on" is "at least partially based on". The term "one embodiment" means "at least one embodiment"; the term "another embodiment" means "at least one additional embodiment"; the term "some embodiments" means "at least some embodiments". The relevant definitions of other terms will be given in the following description. It should be noted that the concepts such as "first" and "second" mentioned in the present disclosure are only used to distinguish different devices, modules or units, and are not used to limit the order of the processes performed by these devices, modules or units or the interdependence relationship.

[0037] It should be noted that the modifications of "one" and "a plurality" mentioned in the present disclosure are illustrative rather than restrictive. Those skilled in the art should understand that unless otherwise clearly specified in the context, it should be understood as "one or more".

[0038] To solve the problem that after the laundry treating apparatus finishes cleaning the laundry and enters the standby state, the user forgets the foregoing event and the laundry is stored in the laundry treating apparatus for a long time in a closed state, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a new control method for a laundry treating apparatus. After the laundry treating apparatus finishes cleaning the laundry, the new control method for the laundry treating apparatus controls the door body to automatically open, and realizes a reminder to the user through the opened state of the door body, so that the user can recall that there is still laundry in the laundry treating apparatus that has not been taken out.

[0039] The implementation of the control method for the laundry treating apparatus in the embodiment of the present disclosure is based on the premise that hardware for opening the door body is installed in the laundry treating apparatus. Before analyzing the control method for the laundry treating apparatus provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, first make a simple reduction of the structure of the laundry treating apparatus.

[0040] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a laundry treatment device includes, in addition to a body, a cleaning execution device disposed in the body for realizing clothing cleaning, and a door body that is hingedly connected to the body and can enclose the cleaning execution device when the laundry treatment device performs a cleaning operation, and also includes an automatic door opening device for automatically opening the door body.

[0041] The automatic door opening device is disposed on the door body or the body, and is disposed at an end far from the pivot for realizing the hinge connection between the door body and the body. The automatic door opening device includes a door opening execution mechanism and a driving motor. When a door opening action needs to be performed, the driving motor rotates to drive the door opening execution mechanism to act, so that the door opening execution mechanism applies a force perpendicular to the contact surface between the door body and the body, and then generates a rotational torque through the foregoing force, so that the door body rotates around the pivot to realize the automatic opening of the door body.

[0042] In specific implementation, the foregoing door opening execution mechanism can be various types of execution mechanisms. For example, it can be a gear transmission mechanism, a link transmission mechanism, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not make specific limitations. Considering that various existing mechanisms can realize the foregoing actions, the embodiments of the present disclosure do not expand on the specific structure of the execution structure, and the corresponding content can refer to existing technical documents.

[0043] The following analyzes the control method of the laundry treatment device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 1 is a flowchart of the control method of the laundry treatment device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. As Figure 1 shown, the control method of the laundry treatment device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure includes S110. Here, a supplementary explanation is made that the control method of the laundry treatment device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is executed by the controller of the laundry treatment device.

[0044] S110: Determine that the first program of the laundry treatment device ends, and control the driving motor to rotate.

[0045] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first program of the laundry treatment device is related to the type of the laundry treatment device and the processing functions it activates, and it is the main function program of the laundry treatment device. For example, in the case where the laundry treatment device is a washing machine, the foregoing first program can be the washing program of the washing machine. For another example, in the case where the laundry treatment device is a dryer, the foregoing first program can be the drying program of the dryer. For another example, in the case where the laundry treatment device is a washing and drying integrated machine, if the washing and drying integrated machine is set to only execute the washing program, the foregoing first program is the washing program; and if the washing and drying integrated machine is set to first execute the washing program and then execute the drying program, the foregoing first program is the washing program plus the drying program.

[0046] In specific implementation, determining the end of the first program of the laundry treatment device may be determining that the laundry treatment tub stops rotating and the corresponding power motor is powered off, and other devices for performing the corresponding cleaning function are also powered off.

[0047] As analyzed above, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the driving motor is used to drive the door opening actuator to perform the door opening action. Therefore, after the driving motor rotates and its rotation duration (more specifically, the rotation stroke) reaches the set duration (corresponding to the set stroke as the set stroke), the door opening actuator also acts under its drive, causing the door body to open automatically.

[0048] As analyzed above, by using the control method of the laundry treatment device provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, after determining the end of the first program of the laundry treatment device, the driving motor is controlled to rotate to drive the door opening actuator to realize the self-opening operation, so that the door body of the laundry treatment device can be opened automatically. When the door body of the laundry treatment device is in the automatically opened state and not in the closed state, it can play a role in reminding the user by changing the state, so that the user can recall that there are still clothes in the laundry treatment tub.

[0049] In addition, by automatically opening the door body of the laundry treatment device, the connection between the internal space and the external space of the laundry treatment tub can be realized, and then some functions can be achieved. For example, when the laundry treatment device is a washing machine, realizing the connection between the internal space and the external space of the laundry treatment tub can reduce the air humidity in the internal space, and then enable the moisture of the washed clothes to evaporate faster, avoiding the serious mildew problem caused by the long-term high humidity of the clothes. When the laundry treatment device is a dryer, realizing the connection between the internal space and the external space of the laundry treatment tub can enable the heat stored in the laundry treatment tub and the clothes to dissipate faster, and then reduce the temperature of the laundry treatment tub and the clothes.

[0050] Figure 2 It is a flowchart of the control method of the laundry treatment device provided by another embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 2 shown, the control method of the laundry treatment device provided by another embodiment includes S210 - S230.

[0051] S210: Determine the end of the first program of the laundry treatment device, and detect whether there is a second program to be executed; if so, execute S220; if not, execute S230.

[0052] S220: Execute the second program and determine whether the second program has been executed; if so, execute S230.

[0053] S230: Control the driving motor to rotate to realize the automatic opening of the door body.

[0054] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after the first program of the laundry treatment device ends, the controller does not immediately control the drive motor, but determines whether there is a second program to be executed. If there is no second program to be executed, the drive motor can be directly controlled to rotate at this time. If there is a second program to be executed, in order to achieve the corresponding purpose, the corresponding second program needs to be executed, and the drive motor will be controlled to rotate only after the second program is executed, so as to automatically open the door body.

[0055] In specific implementation, according to the type of the laundry treatment device and the different first programs executed, the type of the second program will be different.

[0056] In some embodiments, the laundry treatment device is a washing machine, and the aforementioned first program is a washing program. In this case, the second program can be a fluffing operation program. In most washing programs, after the rinsing operation of the clothes is completed, the washing machine will start the drying program, and use the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the laundry tub to throw out the water, reducing the water content of the washed clothes. While reducing the water content of the washed clothes, due to the action of centrifugal force, the clothes will also twist and entangle together, forming large wrinkles. After the user takes out the clothes, the user still needs to fluff the clothes by himself to reduce the wrinkles.

[0057] In order to introduce the entanglement and wrinkles of the clothes caused by the drying operation, the laundry treatment device can execute a fluffing operation program to use the fluffing operation to untangle the clothes as much as possible, increase the looseness and reduce the wrinkles.

[0058] In specific implementation, after the washing machine completes the washing operation, the user may directly take out the clothes in the washing machine, and there is no need for the washing machine to execute the fluffing operation (for example, if the user then directly puts the clothes into the dryer, since the rotation of the dryer drum is equivalent to the fluffing operation, there is no need to execute the fluffing operation).

[0059] Correspondingly, the aforementioned execution of the second program can specifically be: determining that no door-opening trigger instruction is obtained after the first program is executed, and controlling the laundry treatment device to execute the fluffing operation program. The door-opening trigger instruction mentioned here is a trigger instruction actively generated by the user. For example, in some applications, an automatic door-opening button is provided on the washing machine. After the user presses the automatic door-opening button, a door-opening trigger instruction will be generated. For another example, in some other instances, if the user actively pulls the door body, at this time, the corresponding position sensor will be triggered to detect the movement of the door body, and it can be determined that the door-opening trigger instruction is obtained. After the door-opening trigger instruction is obtained, the drive motor can be controlled to rotate, and there is no need to execute the fluffing program.

[0060] In specific implementation, the laundry device executing the second program (that is, the aforementioned fluffing program) may include the following S221-S222.

[0061] S221: Control the laundry treatment device to perform shaking and loosening every first set time period.

[0062] The above-mentioned control of the laundry treatment device to perform shaking and loosening every first set time period means performing the shaking and loosening operation periodically. By performing the shaking and loosening operation periodically instead of continuously, the clothes can be fully stretched during the intermittent time after each shaking and loosening operation before the next shaking and loosening operation is performed. In this way, the shaking and loosening effect can be achieved.

[0063] S222: Based on the number of times of the shaking and loosening operation reaching the preset number or the duration of not obtaining the door opening trigger instruction reaching the maximum duration, control the shaking and loosening operation program to end.

[0064] In practical applications, the controller controls the laundry treatment device to perform the shaking and loosening operation according to the set interval period. After the number of times of the shaking and loosening operation reaches the preset number, it is determined that the duration of the washed clothes in the laundry treatment device has reached the maximum duration. At this time, it is not appropriate to store them sealed in the laundry treatment device anymore. Therefore, control the shaking and loosening operation program to end to perform subsequent steps to open the door. Similarly, if the duration of not obtaining the door opening trigger instruction reaches the maximum duration, the shaking and loosening operation program can be stopped, and the door can be opened by controlling the driving motor.

[0065] In some other embodiments, the laundry treatment device is still a washing machine, and the foregoing first program is a washing program. In this case, the second program can be a ventilation operation program. After the washing program is executed, if the washed clothes are placed in the laundry treatment device for a long time, they may mildew quickly due to the sealed environment. To avoid the foregoing problems, fresh air can be introduced into the laundry treatment device through the ventilation operation program to increase the exchange of air inside the laundry treatment device with the outside air, improve the quality of the internal air through air exchange, and discharge the internal moisture through air exchange. In this case, after the ventilation operation is performed for the set duration, the controller program can end.

[0066] In some embodiments, the laundry treatment device is a dryer, and the foregoing first program is a drying program. After the drying operation is completed, the clothes in the dryer are in a high-temperature state. If the user opens the door directly at this time, they may still be accidentally scalded by high temperature. To quickly reduce the temperature of the clothes, a ventilation operation program can be executed to introduce cold air into the laundry treatment device.

[0067] In specific implementation, similar to the foregoing execution of the shaking and loosening operation program, the controller can control the laundry treatment device to execute the ventilation operation program when it does not obtain the door opening trigger instruction within the preset duration after determining that the first program has ended.

[0068] In specific implementation, the laundry treatment device executing the foregoing ventilation operation program may include the following S223 - S224.

[0069] S223: Control the blowing of external air into the laundry treatment tub, and detect the internal temperature and / or internal humidity of the laundry treatment device.

[0070] S230: Determine that the internal temperature and / or internal humidity reach the set conditions, and control the end of the ventilation operation procedure.

[0071] In a specific implementation, an intake air damper and an exhaust air damper may be provided in the air circulation passage of the dryer. When the intake air damper and the exhaust air damper are opened and the fan rotates, the fan can drive external air to be blown into the laundry treatment tub of the dryer through the intake air damper and discharged through the exhaust air damper. Since the temperature of the external air is lower than the internal temperature of the laundry treatment tub, the external air is heated and the internal temperature is reduced. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, sensors (such as a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor) are provided in the laundry treatment tub of the dryer. During the process of blowing in external air, the aforementioned temperature sensor will detect the internal temperature in the dryer, and the aforementioned humidity sensor will detect the internal humidity of the dryer.

[0072] If it is determined that the internal temperature and / or internal humidity reach the set conditions, specifically, the internal temperature is reduced to the set temperature and the internal humidity is increased to the set humidity, it is determined that the clothes have basically cooled down to a reasonable temperature and humidity range, and thus the ventilation operation procedure can be controlled to end.

[0073] The second program mentioned above includes a fluffing operation procedure and a ventilation operation procedure. Of course, the second program is not limited to the fluffing operation procedure and the ventilation operation procedure, and may also be other programs, which will not be exemplified here.

[0074] In practical applications, in addition to the controller controlling the drive motor to rotate after the laundry treatment device completes the first program operation to realize the automatic pop-up of the door body, there may also be a need to realize the automatic pop-up of the door body during the execution of the first program. For example, during washing and drying, the user may add clothes to the laundry treatment device, and at this time, the door body also needs to pop up automatically. In addition, in order to ensure safety during the execution of the first program and avoid the door body from being opened due to external force or internal program disorder, the laundry treatment device also includes a door lock. During the execution of the first program, the door lock will be in a locked state.

[0075] Correspondingly, the controller can also execute the following S310 - S320.

[0076] S310: Determine that a mid - cycle laundry addition instruction is obtained, and control the door lock to perform an unlocking action.

[0077] The mid - cycle laundry addition instruction is an instruction that triggers the laundry treatment device to pause the first program and triggers the door body to pop open. In a specific implementation, if the user clicks the mid - cycle laundry addition button or the pause button, the controller determines that the mid - cycle laundry addition instruction is obtained.

[0078] After receiving the instruction to add clothes midway, the controller will control the first program to pause execution (for example, control the power motor that drives the clothing treatment barrel to stop rotating, control water supply, and control the heating device to execute). After determining that the first program has paused execution, the controller then controls the door lock to perform an unlocking action. After the door lock successfully performs the unlocking action, its state changes from the locked state to the unlocked state.

[0079] S320: Determine that the door opening trigger instruction is obtained and the door lock is in the unlocked state, and control the driving motor to rotate so that the driving motor drives the door opening actuator to act to automatically open the door body.

[0080] When the door lock is in the unlocked state, if the controller obtains a door opening trigger instruction formed by the user triggering the door opening control button, the controller can then control the driving motor to rotate, driving the door opening actuator to automatically open the door body.

[0081] Of course, in some cases, if there is no conflict and no safety issues will be brought, the aforementioned instruction to add clothes midway and the door opening trigger instruction can be combined into one instruction, that is, after receiving the instruction to add clothes midway, the controller controls the door lock to perform an unlocking action, and after determining that the door lock is in the unlocked state, controls the driving motor to rotate to automatically open the door body.

[0082] In some embodiments, when the clothing treatment device is running the first program, its current running state does not meet the unlocking conditions. For example, when the clothing treatment device is a washing machine, its current water level is too high, and if the door is unlocked and opened, the washing water may drain through the door opening; the washing machine is currently in a high-speed rotating dehydration state, and directly opening the door may cause the clothes to be thrown out at high speed. To avoid the aforementioned problems, the specific operation of S310 to control the door lock to perform an unlocking action can be: determine that the current state of the clothing treatment device meets the unlocking conditions, and control the door lock to perform an unlocking action.

[0083] In addition to providing the aforementioned control method for the clothing treatment device, the embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a control device for a clothing treatment device. Figure 3 It is a schematic structural diagram of the control device for a clothing treatment device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. As Figure 3 shown, the control device 300 for a clothing treatment device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure includes a control unit 301.

[0084] The control unit 301 is used to determine the end of the first program of the clothing treatment device, and control the driving motor to rotate so that the driving motor drives the door opening actuator to act to automatically open the door body, where the first program includes a washing program and / or a drying program.

[0085] In some embodiments, before controlling the driving motor to rotate, there is a second program to be executed after the first program is completed. After the first program of the laundry treatment device ends, the control unit 301 of the controller controls the execution of the second program. When it is determined that the execution of the second program ends, the control unit 301 controls the driving motor to rotate.

[0086] In some embodiments, the second program is a fluffing operation program; the control unit 301 determines that no door opening trigger instruction is obtained within a preset time period after the execution of the first program ends, and controls the laundry treatment device to execute the fluffing operation program.

[0087] In some embodiments, the control unit 301 controls the laundry treatment device to execute the fluffing operation program, including: controlling the laundry treatment device to perform a fluffing operation every first set time period; based on the number of fluffing operations reaching a preset number or the duration of not obtaining a door opening trigger instruction reaching a maximum duration, controlling the end of the fluffing operation program.

[0088] In some embodiments, the second program is a ventilation operation program for ventilating the laundry treatment tub. The control unit 301 determines that no door opening trigger instruction is obtained within a preset time period after the execution of the first program ends, and controls the laundry treatment device to execute the ventilation operation program.

[0089] In some embodiments, the control unit 301 controls the laundry treatment device to execute the ventilation operation program, including controlling external air to be blown into the laundry treatment tub, and detecting the internal temperature and / or internal humidity of the laundry treatment device; when it is determined that the internal temperature and / or internal humidity reach set conditions, controlling the end of the ventilation operation program.

[0090] In some embodiments, the laundry treatment device includes a door lock. The control unit 301 is further configured to determine that a mid-course clothing addition instruction is obtained, and control the door lock to perform an unlocking action; when it is determined that a door opening trigger instruction is obtained and the door lock is in an unlocked state, control the driving motor to rotate, so that the driving motor drives the door opening actuator to act to automatically open the door body.

[0091] In some embodiments, when the control unit 301 determines that the current state of the laundry treatment device meets the unlocking condition, it controls the door lock to perform an unlocking action.

[0092] In addition to providing the foregoing control method and control device for the laundry treatment device, the embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a laundry treatment device as analyzed above. The laundry treatment device includes a controller and an automatic door opening device. The automatic door opening device includes a door opening actuator and a driving motor for driving the door opening actuator to act; the controller controls the driving motor according to the control method of the laundry treatment device as described above to achieve automatic opening of the door body.

[0093] In specific implementation, the controller may be a central processing unit (CPU) or other forms of processing units with data processing capabilities and / or instruction execution capabilities, and may control other components in the water heating device to perform desired functions.
