[0082] Some implementation manners of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these implementation manners are only used to explain the technical principle of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0083] In the description of the present invention, "module" and "processor" may include hardware, software, or a combination of both. A module may include a hardware circuit, various suitable sensors, communication ports, memories, and may also include a software part, such as program code, or may be a combination of software and hardware. The processor may be a central processing unit, a microprocessor, an image processor, 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, in hardware, or in a combination of both. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium includes any suitable medium that can store program code, such as a magnetic disk, a hard disk, an optical disk, a flash memory, a read-only memory, a random access memory, and the like. The term "A and / or B" represents all possible combinations of A and B, such as only A, only B, or A and B. The term "at least one of A or B" or "at least one of A and B" has a meaning similar to "A and / or B" and may include only A, only B, or A and B. The singular terms "a" and "the" may also include the plural form.

[0084] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic diagram of the main step flow of a washing equipment control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the washing equipment control method of the present invention mainly includes steps S1 - S4:

[0085] Step S1, acquire a first image of the laundry in the washing tub;

[0086] In this embodiment, the "clothes" are the clothes to be washed placed in the washing tub; the "first image" is an image inside the washing tub, which is generally collected by an image sensor (camera). It can be a complete picture collected by one camera, or a complete picture stitched together from multiple pictures collected by multiple cameras at multiple positions. The specific form is not limited here; the time to obtain the first image should be after the washing device is powered on and before the washing program starts to execute. For example, during the process of the user placing the clothes, the first image can be continuously obtained to determine whether the clothes placed meet the washing conditions, or at least two first images can be obtained at different time periods. For example, the first image of the first time period is obtained after the user finishes placing the clothes and closes the viewing window, and after closing the viewing window, the motor is controlled to drive the washing tub to perform a preset rolling action to reverse the clothes, and the first image of the second time period with more comprehensive information is obtained.

[0087] Step S2: Based on the first image, determine whether the clothes meet the washing conditions;

[0088] In this embodiment, relevant information of the clothes contained in the first image, such as clothes material, type, color, etc., is extracted based on image recognition technology. By presetting the determination conditions, it is thus determined whether the clothes already placed in the washing tub can be washed with water, whether they can be mixed and washed simultaneously, etc. For example, clothes of different materials have different optimal washing temperatures. If the difference in the optimal washing temperatures of the clothes in the tub is too large, it will be determined that the washing conditions are not met in order to ensure the best washing effect; for another example, different types of clothes have different functions. If there are both close-fitting underwear and shoes and socks in the tub, it will be determined that the washing conditions are not met in order to avoid bacterial infection. The specific judgment method is not limited here.

[0089] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 the program flow diagram for controlling the washing device before the start of the washing program according to an embodiment of the present invention shown, step S2 may further include steps S21 - S22:

[0090] Step S21: Based on the first image, determine whether the clothes are clamped;

[0091] Step S22: If so, output the first prompt message; if not, determine that the clothes meet the washing conditions.

[0092] In another embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , step S2 may further include steps S23 - S24:

[0093] Step S23: Based on the first image, determine whether there is a risk of color bleeding of the clothes;

[0094] Step S24: If so, output a second prompt message; if not, determine whether the clothes meet the washing conditions.

[0095] In the above embodiment, the "first prompt message" and "second prompt message" may include, but are not limited to, voice prompts, warning tone prompts, panel text prompts, mobile application prompts, etc. "The clothes are clamped" means that the clothes are clamped by the visual window of the loading and unloading opening; "whether there is a risk of color bleeding of the clothes" can be judged based on the color, material, color ratio, etc. of the clothes. When it is determined that the clothes in the barrel are not clamped by the visual window of the loading and unloading opening and there is no risk of color bleeding, it is determined that the clothes in the barrel meet the washing conditions. Through the above embodiment, it can be judged whether the clothes are clamped and whether there is a risk of color bleeding, ensuring the washing effect and thus indirectly improving the washing efficiency.

[0096] In one embodiment, in combination with the attached Figure 2 As shown in the schematic flowchart of the program for controlling the washing equipment before the start of the washing program according to an embodiment of the present invention, step S23 may further include steps S231 - S233:

[0097] Step S231: Within a first time period, determine whether the user inputs a re - detection instruction.

[0098] Step S232: If so, based on the re - detection instruction, control the washing equipment to execute the corresponding program; if not, based on the judgment result and the first image, determine the washing parameters.

[0099] Step S233: Based on the washing parameters, control the washing equipment to execute the washing program.

[0100] In this embodiment, the "first time period" is a preset value, which represents a time period after the output of the second prompt message; the "re - detection instruction" represents an instruction to re - judge whether there is a risk of color bleeding of the clothes in the barrel. In actual use, within the preset time period, when it is monitored that the user opens the visual window of the loading and unloading opening, it can be judged that the user inputs a re - judgment instruction. For example, when the user receives the second prompt message, opens the visual window within the preset time period, then adjusts the clothes in the barrel, and finally closes the visual window and inputs a re - detection instruction to continue the next washing process. If the user's re - detection instruction is not monitored within the first time period, based on this judgment result, more optimal washing parameters such as rotation speed and water temperature are determined according to the relevant information of the clothes such as color and material extracted, so as to reduce the risk of color bleeding. It should be understood that in order to give the user the highest command authority or shorten the monitoring time, within the first time period, the user can also input a continue - washing operation instruction, and this instruction can also control the washing equipment to determine the above - mentioned more optimal washing parameters. Through this embodiment, it can ensure that the washing process continues, avoiding the long - term suspension of the washing process due to the user forgetting to adjust the clothes in the barrel.

[0101] Step S3: If so, determine the washing parameters based on the first image;

[0102] In this embodiment, if it is determined that the clothes in the tub meet the washing conditions, the washing parameters such as water temperature, detergent type, detergent dosage, rotation speed, etc. are determined according to the extracted clothing-related information.

[0103] Step S4: Control the washing device to execute the washing program based on the washing parameters;

[0104] In this embodiment, the washing program is not entirely composed of the set washing parameters. For example, the washing program may include a washing stage and a detection stage. Only in the washing stage, the washing device will wash according to the set washing parameters such as water temperature and rotation speed. In the detection stage, the washing device can either continue with these washing parameters, dynamically adjust these parameters, or reset new washing parameters according to the real-time state of the clothes. The specific manifestation of the washing program is not limited here.

[0105] In one embodiment, in combination with the Figure 3 schematic flowchart of the program for controlling the washing device during the execution of the washing program according to an embodiment of the present invention as shown, step S4 may further include steps S411 - S415:

[0106] Step S411: After the rinsing stage ends, obtain a second image inside the washing tub;

[0107] Step S412: Based on the second image, determine whether the amount of foam in the washing tub is greater than a preset first threshold;

[0108] Step S413: If so, re - execute the rinsing stage until the amount of foam is not greater than the first threshold.

[0109] In this embodiment, the image inside the tub can be captured by an image sensor (camera), and then the amount of foam in the tub is analyzed based on image recognition technology; the "first threshold" can be a fixed value or a value dynamically adjusted according to historical execution records, which is not limited here; through this embodiment, it can be ensured that there will be no excessive foam or detergent residue on the washed clothes, ensuring the washing effect and thus indirectly improving the washing efficiency.

[0110] In one embodiment, in combination with the Figure 3 , step S4 may further include steps S421 - S423:

[0111] Step S421: During the dehydration process, obtain a third image inside the washing tub;

[0112] Step S422: Based on the third image, determine whether there is foam at the position of the observation window of the washing device;

[0113] Step S423: If so, execute a preset defoaming program until the duration for which the defoaming program is executed is greater than a preset second duration or it is determined that there is no foam at the position of the observation window.

[0114] In this embodiment, the "observation window" is common knowledge and will not be elaborated here; the "defoaming program" can be water spraying, blowing, etc., which is not limited here; to avoid energy waste caused by misjudging the presence of foam due to dirt on the observation window and resulting in the uncontrolled execution of the defoaming program, the execution duration of the defoaming program can be restricted. Through this embodiment, there will be no excessive foam or detergent residue on the washed clothes, ensuring the washing effect and indirectly improving the washing efficiency.

[0115] In one embodiment, in combination with the Figure 4 program flow diagram for controlling a washing device during the execution of a washing program according to an embodiment of the present invention shown, step S4 may further include steps S431 - S433:

[0116] Step S431: During the washing process, obtain a fourth image inside the washing tub;

[0117] Step S432: Based on the fourth image, determine whether there is clothing whose position remains unchanged relative to the washing tub;

[0118] Step S433: If so, execute a preset first adjustment program until the number of times the first adjustment program is executed is greater than a preset third duration or it is determined that there is no clothing with an unchanged position.

[0119] In this embodiment, the "clothing with an unchanged position" refers to the clothing that is attached to the inner wall of the washing tub and remains stationary relative to the inner wall of the washing tub. This situation will cause the clothing not to be washed sufficiently. The "first adjustment program" can be water injection, speed adjustment, etc., and its purpose is to make the clothing "fall off" from the inner wall; to avoid energy waste and excessive washing time caused by the uncontrolled execution of the first adjustment program due to the clothing being too tightly attached to the wall, the execution duration of the first adjustment program can be restricted. Through this embodiment, all clothing can be washed sufficiently, ensuring the final washing effect and indirectly improving the washing efficiency.

[0120] In one embodiment, step S4 may further include steps S441 - S443:

[0121] Step S441: Within a preset time period before the washing program is completed, obtain a fifth image inside the washing tub;

[0122] Step S442: Based on the fifth image, determine whether there is clothing in the target area of the inner wall of the washing tub;

[0123] Step S443: If so, execute a preset second adjustment program until the washing program is completed or it is determined that there is no clothing in the target area.

[0124] In this embodiment, the "preset time period" is the remaining duration until the end of the washing program; the "target area" is generally the inner wall of the top of the washing tub, the blind area of the user's vision, etc. Its specific position can be preset or dynamically set according to the positions where the user forgets to take or misses taking clothes in the historical records, and it is not limited here; the "second adjustment program" is generally to adjust the rotation speed, and its purpose is to make the clothing as much as possible in the user's vision range and at a convenient position to take. Different from the first adjustment program during the washing process, the second adjustment program is at the end of the washing. Through this embodiment, the clothing can be grouped to the same position to avoid missing clothes due to the dispersion of the clothing.

[0125] In one embodiment, the washing equipment control method of the present invention may further include steps S5 - S7:

[0126] Step S5: After the washing program is completed, obtain a sixth image inside the washing tub;

[0127] Step S6: Based on the sixth image, determine whether there is clothing in the washing tub;

[0128] Step S7: If so, output a third prompt message.

[0129] In this embodiment, after the washing program is completed, the clothing should be taken out of the washing tub as soon as possible. Therefore, after the washing program is completed (or within a preset time period after the washing program is completed), based on image recognition technology, it is determined whether there is still clothing in the tub. If so, a third prompt message is output, where the output method of the third prompt message is the same as that of the second prompt message and the first prompt message.

[0130] Based on all the above embodiments, in implementing the technical solution of the present invention, first, obtain a first image containing clothing inside the washing tub; then, based on the first image, determine whether the clothing meets the washing conditions; if so, based on the first image, determine the washing parameters; finally, based on the washing parameters, control the washing equipment to execute the washing program. The present invention uses the obtained image to determine whether the clothing meets the washing conditions, and then further uses the image to determine the next washing parameters. Through the present invention, relevant information of the clothing can be obtained in real time, and then the washing equipment is controlled based on image recognition technology, streamlining the steps and data volume in the control algorithm, thereby improving the washing efficiency of the washing equipment.

[0131] Please refer to the appendix Figure 5, Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of the application scenario of the washing equipment control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 5 shown, the washing equipment control method of the present invention can be described in an application scenario as follows:

[0132] a. Color bleeding reminder: Rotate the drum at a low speed for 10 seconds, perform color recognition on the video for these 10 seconds, judge the color category inside the drum. If there is a situation where dark and light colors are mixed in a certain proportion, remind the user through the app and alarm that there is a risk of clothing staining and ask whether to continue washing. Then, perform the next action according to the user's instruction. If no operation prompt from the user is received within 1 minute, the rotation speed is intelligently adjusted to reduce the staining risk;

[0133] b. Detection of trapped clothes: Start the detection of whether there are trapped clothes. If there are trapped clothes, remind the user through alarm and panel prompt;

[0134] c. Identify the current amount of clothes through the clothes amount detection algorithm, and intelligently adjust the washing parameters according to the amount of clothes inside the drum;

[0135] d. During the washing process, start collecting ten images every 1 minute continuously. The collection interval of the ten images is 10 seconds. Judge whether there is a problem that a certain piece of clothing stays in a certain corner for a long time, which will cause the clothing not to be washed well. If this situation is detected, change the motor rotation speed to adjust the position of the clothes inside the drum;

[0136] e. During the washing process, through the foam detection technology, detect the amount of foam at the end of each rinsing. If the amount of foam exceeds the threshold we set, intelligently add one more rinsing for the user; during the dehydration stage, intelligently detect the foam residue at the observation window. If there is residue, turn on the spraying and blowing to defoam, and detect the foam residue every 2 s after turning on the defoaming function until the foam residue amount is 0, then stop the detection. To prevent the dirt at the observation window from affecting the recognition, the defoaming processes such as spraying and blowing last for up to 1 minute;

[0137] f. At the end of the washing, since small pieces of clothing are easy to stick to the drum wall, if the sticking position is exactly above the drum, which is in the user's visual blind area and is likely to cause the user to miss taking the clothes and lead to the problem that the clothes cannot be dried in time. Therefore, 10 seconds before the end of the dehydration program, use a lower rotation speed. At this time, start the clothes sticking detection algorithm to judge whether there is clothes at one-third of the position above the camera's field of view. If there is clothes at a higher position, it proves that there are sticking clothes. Then, from the moment when the sticking clothes are found, control the drum to rotate for a fixed time t. After this time t is coordinated with the set rotation speed value, it just makes the sticking clothes rotate to the lower part of the drum, avoiding the occurrence of the user missing taking the clothes;

[0138] g. After the washing is completed, before the washing machine is powered off, start the camera again to capture an image inside the drum. Use the clothes left undetected algorithm to determine whether the user has not taken the clothes, and give a reminder again after the washing is finished.

[0139] It should be noted that although the above steps are described in a specific order in the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can understand that in order to achieve the effects of the present invention, it is not necessary to execute different steps in such an order. They can be executed simultaneously (in parallel) or in other orders, and these changes are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
