Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of electromechanical control, and more particularly, to a washing machine. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, using a washing machine to wash clothes has become a common way for people to wash clothes. In the related art, before using a washing machine to wash clothes, users usually pre-place a washing product in the washing machine to obtain a better washing effect through the washing product.

[0003] In order to facilitate users to place the washing product, detergent manufacturers have launched laundry beads products packaged in water-soluble films, enabling users to directly place the laundry beads in the washing machine, avoiding the residue of the washing product on the user's hands and improving the convenience when users place the washing product. However, during the actual washing process of the washing machine, the water-soluble film of the laundry beads may not be fully dissolved, resulting in the water-soluble film adhering to the clothes, leaving stain marks on the washed clothes and affecting the user's satisfaction with the use of the washing machine. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of this application provides a washing machine.

[0005] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, a washing machine is provided, including: a drum assembly for accommodating clothes to be washed; a motor for driving a pulsator in the drum assembly to rotate; a controller configured to perform the following steps: obtaining a tumbling washing signal for indicating tumbling of the clothes to be washed; responding to the tumbling washing signal to determine a corresponding target tumbling drive amount; controlling the pulsator to rotate according to the target tumbling drive amount to drive the clothes to be washed to tumble up and down in the drum assembly.

[0006] In the above embodiment, the clothes to be washed can be driven to tumble up and down in the drum assembly. After the clothes to be washed tumble up and down, the washing product placed in the washing machine can move to the bottom of the drum assembly, inhibiting the occurrence of the residual washing product adhering to the clothes. In addition, by moving the washing product to the bottom of the drum assembly, the washing product can also be fully submerged in the washing water, facilitating the dissolution of the washing product, thereby exerting a better washing effect and improving the user's satisfaction with the use of the washing machine.

[0007] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps: obtaining type information of the washing product placed in the drum assembly; generating the tumbling washing signal if it is determined that the type information is preset target type information.

[0008] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps: obtaining the clothing parameters of the currently to-be-washed clothing in the drum assembly; determining the corresponding target flipping driving amount according to the clothing parameters.

[0009] In the above embodiments, the target flipping driving amount determined by the clothing parameters of the currently to-be-washed clothing is used to improve the correlation between the target flipping driving amount and the specific situation corresponding to the currently to-be-washed clothing in the drum assembly, so as to facilitate subsequent full up-and-down flipping of the to-be-washed clothing in the drum assembly during the process of controlling the rotation of the agitator according to the target flipping driving amount.

[0010] In some embodiments, the clothing parameters include the clothing weight value of the currently to-be-washed clothing, and the controller is further configured to perform the following steps: determining the target preset weight value range corresponding to the currently to-be-washed clothing based on the clothing weight value of the currently to-be-washed clothing; taking the flipping driving amount corresponding to the target preset weight value range as the target flipping driving amount.

[0011] In the above embodiments, the target flipping driving amount is determined by the clothing weight value of the currently to-be-washed clothing, thereby improving the correlation between the target flipping driving amount and the specific situation corresponding to the currently to-be-washed clothing in the drum assembly while shortening the time-consuming for determining the flipping driving amount.

[0012] In some embodiments, multiple pieces of to-be-washed clothing are accommodated in the drum assembly, the clothing parameters include the clothing materials of the multiple pieces of to-be-washed clothing, and the controller is further configured to perform the following steps: determining the target clothing material based on the clothing material corresponding to each piece of to-be-washed clothing; taking the flipping driving amount corresponding to the target clothing material as the target flipping driving amount.

[0013] In the above embodiments, by taking the flipping driving amount corresponding to the target clothing material as the target flipping driving amount, it can be ensured that when controlling the rotation of the agitator to output the flipping driving amount, each piece of to-be-washed clothing in the drum assembly can be driven to perform up-and-down flipping in the drum assembly, and it is not easy to cause the washing product to stay on a certain piece of to-be-washed clothing in the drum assembly due to the inability of the rotated agitator to drive a certain piece of to-be-washed clothing in the drum assembly to perform up-and-down flipping, resulting in stain marks left by the undissolved washing product on the to-be-washed clothing.

[0014] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps: determining the corresponding flipping priority based on the clothing material of each piece of to-be-washed clothing; determining the target to-be-washed clothing according to the flipping priority of each piece of to-be-washed clothing; wherein, the flipping priority of the target to-be-washed clothing is higher than that of other to-be-washed clothing in the drum assembly; taking the clothing material corresponding to the target to-be-washed clothing as the target clothing material.

[0015] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps: obtaining the current washing program of the washing machine; using the flipping driving amount corresponding to the current washing program as the target flipping driving amount.

[0016] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps: obtaining each user washing setting parameter in the current washing program; determining the flipping driving amount corresponding to the current washing program according to each user washing setting parameter.

[0017] In the above embodiments, considering that the user washing setting parameters can also reflect the specific situation corresponding to the clothes to be washed in the current drum assembly, and thus determining the flipping driving amount corresponding to the current washing program through each user washing setting can achieve the purpose of improving the correlation between the flipping driving amount corresponding to the current washing program and the specific situation corresponding to the current clothes to be washed.

[0018] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps: determining the operating parameters of the motor according to the target flipping driving amount; the operating parameters include but are not limited to rotation duration, rotation speed parameter, and stop ratio parameter; controlling the motor to drive the agitator to rotate according to the operating parameters.

[0019] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps: determining the flipping duration according to the target flipping driving amount and the clothing weight value of the clothes to be washed; starting to time when controlling the agitator to rotate, and if the timing duration reaches the flipping duration, controlling the washing machine to execute the water inlet working condition corresponding to the current washing program.

[0020] In the above embodiments, the method of controlling the washing machine to execute the water inlet working condition corresponding to the current washing program through the flipping duration can ensure that during the process of the clothes to be washed being flipped up and down, the washing product is not easily adhered to the clothes to be washed by water.

[0030] Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of a washing machine provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, the washing machine 10 includes a cabinet 11, a drum assembly 12, a motor 13, and a controller. Each part will be introduced one by one below.

[0031] The drum assembly 12 is rotatably arranged in the cabinet 11 and is used to accommodate the laundry to be washed. In the embodiment of the present application, a pulsator 14 is further provided in the drum assembly 12, so that the rotation of the pulsator 14 can cause friction between the clothes in the drum assembly 12, between the clothes and the inner wall of the drum assembly 12, and between the clothes and the pulsator 14, which can improve the washing effect of the washing machine 10 on the laundry to be washed and can also drive the clothes in the drum assembly 12 to perform a turning motion.

[0032] The motor 13 is arranged in the cabinet 11 and is used to drive the pulsator 14 to rotate.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present application, the motor 13 is fixedly connected to the pulsator 14 through the included clutch shaft, so that the pulsator 14 can rotate under the drive of the clutch shaft when the motor 13 operates.

[0034] The controller is electrically connected to the motor 13 to control the operation of the motor 13, that is, to control the rotation of the pulsator 14. In addition, the controller is configured to perform the following steps:

[0035] Obtain a tumbling washing signal for indicating tumbling of the laundry to be washed;

[0036] Respond to the tumbling washing signal to determine the corresponding target tumbling drive amount;

[0037] Control the pulsator to rotate according to the target tumbling drive amount to drive the laundry to be washed to tumble in the drum assembly.

[0038] It should be noted that when a user uses a washing machine to wash clothes, the user usually places a washing product in the washing machine in advance to obtain a better washing effect through the washing product. However, when the washing product placed by the user is a laundry detergent pod, during the actual washing process of the washing machine, the water-soluble film of the laundry detergent pod may not be fully dissolved, resulting in the water-soluble film adhering to the clothes, causing stains to remain on the washed clothes.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, when the user uses the washing machine to wash the laundry to be washed, the controller can obtain the tumbling washing signal to determine that the washing machine currently needs to tumble the laundry to be washed in the drum assembly.

[0040] Among them, the generation method of the tumbling washing signal can be flexibly adjusted according to needs. In one example, the tumbling washing signal can be generated by the user's active input. For example, a tumbling washing button bound to the tumbling washing signal is added to the control panel set on the washing machine to generate the tumbling washing signal when the user clicks the tumbling washing button; or, the tumbling washing signal is bound to a preset washing program on the washing machine. That is, the tumbling washing signal is added to the pre-tumbling washing program to generate the tumbling washing signal when the user selects the pre-tumbling washing program.

[0041] In another example, the tumbling washing signal can be generated by obtaining the current washing information corresponding to the washing machine, so as to generate the tumbling washing signal according to the obtained washing information. For example, obtain the type of the washing product placed in the washing machine. If it is determined that the type is a laundry detergent bead, generate the tumbling washing signal.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, after the controller obtains the tumbling washing signal, it can respond to the tumbling washing signal to determine the corresponding target tumbling drive amount, where the target tumbling drive amount represents the drive amount required to turn the clothes to be washed in the current drum assembly up and down.

[0043] The method for determining the corresponding target tumbling drive amount can be flexibly set according to needs. In one example, the tumbling drive amount corresponding to the washing machine can be obtained as the target tumbling drive amount, that is, the tumbling drive amount preset by the developer according to the structure of the washing machine.

[0044] Considering that when the user uses the washing machine, the clothes to be washed placed in the drum assembly each time may be different. That is to say, the tumbling drive amount required to turn the clothes to be washed in the drum assembly up and down each time is not the same.

[0045] Based on this, further considering that when the user uses the washing machine, the user usually selects a washing program suitable for washing the clothes to be washed in the current drum assembly to perform washing. For example, when there are fewer clothes to be washed in the current drum assembly, the user usually gives priority to selecting a light load washing program or a quick wash program, while when there are more clothes to be washed in the current drum assembly, the user usually gives priority to selecting a heavy load washing program or a delicate wash program. In another example, the current washing program of the washing machine can be obtained first, so as to determine the specific situation of the clothes to be washed in the current drum assembly through the selected washing program, and then use the tumbling drive amount corresponding to the current washing program as the target tumbling drive amount. That is to say, different tumbling drive amounts corresponding to different washing programs can be pre-stored in the controller, so as to improve the accuracy of the determined target tumbling drive amount.

[0046] Based on the above, it can be seen that the amount of flipping drive required to drive the laundry to be washed to flip up and down is related to the specific situation of the laundry to be washed. In another example of the present application, it is also possible to obtain the clothing parameters of the current laundry to be washed in the drum assembly, so as to determine the specific situation with higher accuracy corresponding to the current laundry to be washed in the drum assembly through the clothing parameters, and then determine the corresponding target flipping drive amount according to the clothing parameters, thereby further improving the accuracy of the determined target flipping drive amount.

[0047] Regarding the specific method of obtaining the clothing parameters of the current laundry to be washed in the drum assembly, considering that the greater the clothing weight value of the laundry to be washed in the drum assembly, the higher the difficulty of driving the laundry to be washed to flip up and down in the drum assembly, and the greater the required flipping drive amount, it is possible to first obtain the clothing weight value of the current laundry to be washed in the drum assembly, and then use the obtained clothing weight value of the current laundry to be washed as the clothing parameters of the current laundry to be washed.

[0048] Among them, in order to obtain the clothing weight value of the current laundry to be washed in the drum assembly, a weight sensor can be set on the drum assembly. The weight sensor is electrically connected to the controller to collect the clothing weight value corresponding to the current laundry to be washed through the weight sensor, and send the collected clothing weight value to the controller based on the electrical connection with the controller.

[0049] Secondly, considering that the roughness corresponding to the laundry to be washed with different clothing materials is different, it means that the friction amount between the rotating agitator and the laundry to be washed with different clothing materials is also different, so the required flipping drive amount for the laundry to be washed with different clothing materials also varies. It is possible to first obtain the clothing material of the current laundry to be washed in the drum assembly, and then use the obtained clothing material of the current laundry to be washed as the clothing parameters of the current laundry to be washed.

[0050] Among them, in order to obtain the clothing material of the current laundry to be washed in the drum assembly, an infrared camera can be set on the drum assembly. The infrared camera is electrically connected to the controller to identify the clothing material corresponding to the current laundry to be washed through the infrared camera, and send the identified clothing material to the controller based on the electrical connection with the controller.

[0051] In the above process, after the controller determines the corresponding target flipping driving amount, it can control the agitator to rotate according to the target flipping driving amount, so as to drive the laundry to be washed to flip up and down in the drum assembly, so that after the laundry to be washed flips up and down, the washing product placed in the washing machine can move to the bottom of the drum assembly. Thus, when the washing product selected by the user is a laundry detergent pod, even if the water-soluble film of the laundry detergent pod fails to dissolve sufficiently, it is not likely to directly adhere to the clothes, thereby achieving the purpose of inhibiting the residual washing product from adhering to the clothes. In addition, by moving the washing product to the bottom of the drum assembly, the washing product can be fully submerged in the washing water, which is convenient for the washing product to dissolve, so as to achieve a better washing effect.

[0052] The method of controlling the agitator to rotate according to the target flipping driving amount can be flexibly set as needed. In one example, the rotation speed of the agitator can be determined according to the target flipping driving amount, and the agitator can be controlled to rotate based on the rotation speed, so that when the agitator rotates, the corresponding target flipping driving amount is generated to flip the laundry to be washed in the drum assembly up and down.

[0053] In another example, the operating parameters of the motor can be determined according to the target flipping driving amount, and the motor can be controlled to drive the agitator to rotate according to the operating parameters, where the operating parameters include but are not limited to rotation duration, rotation speed parameter, and stop-rotation ratio parameter.

[0054] For example, in the operating parameters determined according to the target flipping driving amount, the rotation duration is 2 seconds, the rotation speed is 300 r / min, and the stop-rotation ratio is 1 / 10. Then the motor drives the agitator to rotate at 300 r / min for 2 seconds and then stop for 0.2 seconds. Thus, the rotating agitator applies centrifugal force to the clothes, and the target flipping driving amount is generated under the action of inertia to improve the flipping efficiency.

[0055] Furthermore, the operating parameters can also include forward rotation duration and reverse rotation duration, so as to determine the forward rotation duration and reverse rotation duration respectively according to the target flipping driving amount, and control the motor, so that under the drive of the motor, the agitator can utilize the flipping inertia applied to the laundry to be washed in the drum assembly during the forward rotation process, thereby increasing the flipping force and further improving the flipping efficiency.

[0056] In another exemplary embodiment, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps:

[0057] Obtain the type information of the washing product placed in the drum assembly;

[0058] If it is determined that the type information is the preset target type information, a flipping washing signal is generated.

[0059] It should be noted that washing products that are prone to adhering to clothes and leaving marks include not only laundry beads but also undissolvable washing liquids and washing powders.

[0060] In the above process, the controller can first obtain the type information of the washing product placed in the drum assembly. If it is determined that the type information is the preset target type information, it indicates that the washing type corresponding to the washing product placed in the current drum assembly is the same as the washing type that is prone to adhering to clothes and leaving marks, and then a tumbling washing signal is generated to facilitate subsequent driving of the clothes to be washed to tumble up and down in the drum assembly.

[0061] Among them, the method of obtaining the type information of the washing product placed in the drum assembly can be flexibly set according to needs. In one example, the washing product label selected by the user on the control panel of the washing machine can be obtained first, and then the type information corresponding to the washing product label is used as the type information of the washing product placed in the drum assembly obtained.

[0062] In another example, a camera can be set in the cabinet of the washing machine. The camera is electrically connected to the controller to identify the type information of the washing product placed in the drum assembly through the camera and send the identified type information to the controller based on the electrical connection with the controller.

[0063] In another exemplary embodiment, when the clothing parameter includes a clothing weight value, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps:

[0064] Determine the target preset weight value range corresponding to the clothes to be washed based on the clothing weight value;

[0065] Take the tumbling drive amount corresponding to the target preset weight value range as the target tumbling drive amount.

[0066] In the above process, when the controller obtains the clothing parameters of the clothes to be washed in the drum assembly and determines the clothing weight value of the current clothes to be washed, it can determine the target preset weight value range corresponding to the clothes to be washed based on the clothing weight value.

[0067] Among them, the method of determining the target preset weight value range corresponding to the clothes to be washed based on the clothing weight value can be to determine the preset weight value range in which it is located from the preset weight value range table based on the clothing weight value, and then take the preset weight value range in which it is located as the target preset weight value range. That is to say, there are multiple different preset weight value ranges preset in the preset weight value range table.

[0068] Considering that when the user uses the washing machine, the weight value of the laundry to be washed placed in the drum assembly fluctuates greatly each time. In the embodiment of the present application, after the controller determines the target preset weight value range, it can use the flipping drive amount corresponding to the target preset weight value range as the target flipping drive amount, so as to narrow the range of the determined target flipping drive amount through the preset weight value range, thereby shortening the recognition time while determining a relatively accurate flipping drive amount based on the weight value of the current laundry to be washed.

[0069] Among them, the method of determining the flipping drive amount corresponding to the target preset weight value range can also be obtained through the preset weight value range table. That is to say, the preset weight value range table can also include the association relationship between different preset weight values and their respective corresponding flipping drive amounts.

[0070] In another exemplary embodiment, when there are multiple pieces of laundry to be washed in the drum assembly and the laundry parameters include the laundry materials of multiple pieces of laundry to be washed, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps:

[0071] Determine the target laundry material based on the laundry material corresponding to each piece of laundry to be washed;

[0072] Use the flipping drive amount corresponding to the target laundry material as the target flipping drive amount.

[0073] Considering that when the user uses the washing machine, multiple pieces of laundry to be washed with different laundry materials are usually placed in the drum assembly. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, when the controller obtains the laundry parameters of the current laundry to be washed in the drum assembly and determines the laundry materials of multiple pieces of laundry to be washed, it can determine the target laundry material based on the laundry material corresponding to each piece of laundry to be washed.

[0074] Among them, in one example, the method of determining the target laundry material based on the laundry material corresponding to each piece of laundry to be washed is that the controller can determine the laundry amount corresponding to different laundry materials through the laundry material corresponding to each piece of laundry to be washed, and use the laundry material corresponding to the highest laundry amount as the target laundry material.

[0075] In another example, the controller can determine the corresponding flipping priority based on the laundry material of each piece of laundry to be washed. Among them, the higher the flipping drive amount required to drive the laundry material to flip up and down, the higher the flipping priority; determine the target laundry to be washed according to the flipping priority of each piece of laundry to be washed, that is, determine the laundry to be washed with the highest flipping priority, and use this laundry to be washed as the target laundry to be washed. Finally, use the laundry material corresponding to the target laundry to be washed as the target laundry material.

[0076] In the above process, after the controller determines the target clothing material, it can use the flipping driving amount corresponding to the target clothing material as the target flipping driving amount, so as to ensure that when the pulsator is controlled to rotate according to the target flipping driving amount, each piece of clothing to be washed in the drum assembly can be flipped up and down in the drum assembly, and it is not easy to occur that the pulsator after rotation cannot drive a certain piece of clothing to be washed in the drum assembly to be flipped up and down, resulting in the washing product staying on the clothing to be washed, and causing stains corresponding to the undissolved washing product to remain on the clothing to be washed.

[0077] In another exemplary embodiment, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps:

[0078] Obtain various user washing setting parameters in the current washing program;

[0079] Determine the flipping driving amount corresponding to the current washing program according to various user washing setting parameters;

[0080] It should be noted that when users use the washing machine, they usually adjust the selected washing program to make the adjusted washing program more suitable for washing the clothes to be washed in the current drum assembly. For example, water level adjustment and water temperature adjustment.

[0081] In the above process, after obtaining the current washing program of the washing machine, the controller can obtain various user washing setting parameters in the current washing program, and then determine the flipping driving amount corresponding to the current washing program according to various user washing setting parameters. Therefore, when using the flipping driving amount corresponding to the current washing program as the target flipping driving amount for driving the pulsator to rotate, it can further fit the specific situation of the current clothes to be washed in the drum assembly.

[0082] Among them, the method of obtaining various user washing setting parameters in the current washing program can be to obtain the preset washing setting parameters corresponding to the current washing program, and then compare the specific washing setting parameters in the current washing program with the corresponding preset washing setting parameters, so as to determine the adjusted washing setting parameters included in the specific washing setting parameters, and use the adjusted washing setting parameters as the user washing setting parameters.

[0083] The method of determining the flipping driving amount corresponding to the current washing program according to various user washing setting parameters can be to first obtain the flipping driving amount corresponding to each user washing setting parameter, and then determine the target user washing parameter with the largest flipping driving amount from various user washing setting parameters, and use the flipping driving amount corresponding to the target user washing parameter as the flipping driving amount corresponding to the current washing program.

[0084] In another exemplary embodiment, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps:

[0085] Determine the flipping duration based on the target flipping driving amount and the clothing weight value of the laundry to be washed;

[0086] When controlling the agitator to rotate, start timing. If the timing duration reaches the flipping duration, control the washing machine to execute the water inlet condition corresponding to the current washing program.

[0087] It should be noted that in order to improve the cleaning effect of washing products, the washing products produced by detergent manufacturers usually dissolve quickly in water after encountering water.

[0088] Considering that during the process of driving the laundry to be washed to flip up and down in the drum assembly, if the washing product encounters water, it is likely to directly dissolve and adhere to the laundry to be washed, resulting in the problem that the washing product is not easily fallen to the bottom of the drum assembly. Therefore, during the above process, when the controller controls the agitator to rotate according to the target flipping driving amount, it can first determine the flipping duration based on the target flipping driving amount and the clothing weight value of the laundry to be washed. The flipping duration represents the duration required for the laundry to be washed corresponding to the current clothing weight value to complete the up-and-down flipping in the drum assembly under the action of the target flipping driving amount. When controlling the agitator to rotate for water inlet, start timing. If the timing duration reaches the flipping duration, it means that the laundry to be washed has completed the up-and-down flipping in the drum assembly, and then the washing machine can be controlled to execute the water inlet condition corresponding to the current washing program to ensure that the washing product is not easily adhered to the laundry to be washed by water during the process of the laundry to be washed completing the up-and-down flipping.

[0089] Figure 2 It is a control method of a washing machine provided by an embodiment of the present application. Combining Figure 1 with the structural schematic diagram of the washing machine, the control method of the washing machine includes the following steps S01 - step S03:

[0090] Step S01, obtain a flipping washing signal for instructing to flip the laundry to be washed.

[0091] Among them, the flipping washing signal can be generated by the user inputting through the control panel on the washing machine, or automatically generated by the current washing program, or generated by obtaining the type information of the washing product placed in the drum assembly when the type information is the target type information representing the washing product that is likely to adhere to the clothing and leave marks.

[0092] Step S02, in response to the flipping washing signal, determine the corresponding target flipping driving amount.

[0093] The target flipping driving amount characterizes the driving amount required to drive the laundry to be washed to flip up and down in the drum assembly. Among them, the method of determining the corresponding target flipping driving amount can be determined by the current washing program, the clothing weight value of the current laundry to be washed, and the clothing material of the laundry to be washed. The specific implementation method can refer to the above content and will not be elaborated here.

[0094] Step S03, determine the operating parameters of the motor according to the target flipping driving amount.

[0095] In order to apply the target flipping driving amount to the laundry to be washed in the drum assembly, the operating parameters of the motor for driving the agitator to rotate can be determined according to the target flipping driving amount, so that after the motor operates according to the operating parameters, the frictional force generated by the rotation of the agitator can reach the target flipping driving amount.

[0096] Step S04, control the motor to drive the agitator to rotate according to the operating parameters.

[0097] Specifically, after the operating parameters of the motor are determined according to the target flipping driving amount, the motor can be controlled to drive the agitator to rotate according to the operating parameters, so as to drive the laundry to be washed to flip up and down in the drum assembly by the rotating agitator.

[0098] Those skilled in the art will readily think of other embodiments of the present application after considering the specification and the embodiments disclosed herein. The present application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present application, which follow the general principles of the present application and include the common general knowledge or conventional technical means in the technical field not disclosed in the present application.
