[0032] Figure 1The first process schematic diagram of a clothes washing method provided by an embodiment of the present application. This embodiment is applicable to the situation where a laundry device cleans paper scraps during clothes washing. The clothes washing method provided by this embodiment can be executed by the clothes washing device provided by the embodiment of the present application. The device can be implemented in a software and / or hardware manner and integrated in an electronic device that executes this method. Preferably, the electronic device in the embodiment of the present application can be a laundry device, such as a washing machine.

[0033] See Figure 1 , the method of this embodiment includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0034] S110. When it is detected that the motor of the laundry device is in the working mode, detect whether there is a target foreign object between the inner drum and the outer drum of the laundry device through the foreign object detection component.

[0035] Among them, the foreign object detection component can be an image sensor for detecting the target foreign object. The image sensor can be configured at a certain position between the inner drum and the outer drum, such as the bottom of the outer drum; the target foreign object can be shredded paper.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, if there is paper (such as toilet paper) in the pocket of the clothes to be washed that can be shredded into paper scraps, and the user forgets to take out the paper in the clothes pocket, puts the clothes into the washing machine, and triggers a certain washing mode. Detect whether the motor is in the working mode by detecting the current torque of the motor. When the current torque of the motor is zero, it is determined that the motor is not in the working mode; when the current torque of the motor is non-zero (or greater than a certain threshold), it is determined that the motor is in the working mode.

[0037] When the washing machine washes clothes, the paper will be shredded into paper scraps, and the paper scraps will appear between the inner drum and the outer drum through the holes of the inner drum. When it is detected that the motor of the laundry device is in the working mode, detect in real time whether there are paper scraps between the inner drum and the outer drum of the laundry device through the image sensor, or detect whether there are paper scraps between the inner drum and the outer drum of the laundry device every other task cycle. If not, the washing machine continues to execute the washing mode and does not perform any operation on the washing machine. Continue to detect whether there are paper scraps between the inner drum and the outer drum of the laundry device in the next task cycle.

[0038] S120. If there is, control the laundry device to pause the current washing mode.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, if there are paper scraps between the inner drum and the outer drum, it is necessary to clean the paper scraps to avoid the paper being shredded more finely and being more difficult to clean. Then control the washing machine to pause the current washing mode.

[0040] S130. Control the laundry device to execute the foreign object cleaning mode to achieve the cleaning of the target foreign object.

[0041] Specifically, controlling the laundry equipment to execute the foreign object cleaning mode includes: discharging the water in the inner drum to drain the shredded paper between the inner drum and the outer drum; when it is determined that the water in the inner drum has been discharged, dewatering the clothes in the inner drum at the first dewatering speed, and the first dewatering speed is less than the speed corresponding to the lowest dewatering gear of the laundry equipment. The advantage of using a low dewatering speed to slightly dewater the clothes is that it can avoid making the shredded paper more fragmented during the dewatering operation and reduce the difficulty of cleaning the shredded paper.

[0042] In an alternative embodiment, the clothes washing method of the present application further includes: weighing the clothes in the inner drum through a gravity sensor to obtain the weight of the clothes, and determining the water intake for completely submerging the clothes according to the weight of the clothes. The purpose of this setting is to make the shredded paper float on the water surface after subsequent operations to separate the shredded paper from the clothes; adding a preset number of milliliters of chemical agent (such as fabric softener) and water of the water intake into the inner drum; when the addition of the chemical agent and water is completed, controlling the inner drum to rotate at the maximum rotation speed so that the target foreign object floats on the water surface; when the inner drum stops rotating, generating a prompt message for prompting the user that there is a target foreign object in the inner drum and displaying the prompt message so that the user can pick up the shredded paper floating on the water surface.

[0043] The technical solution provided in this embodiment, when it is detected that the motor of the laundry equipment is in the working mode, detects whether there is a target foreign object between the inner drum and the outer drum of the laundry equipment through the foreign object detection component; if so, controls the laundry equipment to pause the current washing mode; controls the laundry equipment to execute the foreign object cleaning mode to achieve the cleaning of the target foreign object. The present application configures a foreign object detection component at the bottom of the outer drum of the laundry equipment, and detects whether there is shredded paper between the inner drum and the outer drum through the foreign object detection component when washing clothes. When there is shredded paper, the washing task of the clothes is paused. The present application can avoid making the shredded paper more fragmented and avoid increasing the difficulty of cleaning the shredded paper; further, by executing the foreign object cleaning mode on the clothes, the cleaning operation of the target foreign object is realized. The present application can identify whether there is shredded paper in the laundry equipment and clean the shredded paper, which can improve the user experience of using the laundry equipment.

[0044] The following further describes the clothes washing method provided in the embodiments of the present application. Figure 2 It is a second process schematic diagram of a clothes washing method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application is optimized on the basis of the above embodiments. Specifically, the optimization is: the determination process of the target foreign object in this embodiment is explained in detail.

[0045] See Figure 2 This embodiment of the method includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0046] S210: Determine the transmission and reception time length of a first ray emitted by a ray transceiver after being reflected by an object.

[0047] In this embodiment, the foreign body detection component is a ray transceiver, such as a radar, which can be arranged at the bottom of the outer tube, and the ray transceiver can include a transmitting component and a receiving component. The object refers to an object that can reflect the first ray, which can be the outer wall of the inner tube, impurities in the water between the inner tube and the outer tube, or clothes in the outer tube (the first ray penetrates the hole on the inner tube and enters the inner tube).

[0048] Specifically, determining the receiving and sending time length of the first ray emitted by the foreign object detection component after being reflected by the object includes: sending the first ray in a preset direction through the transmitting component of the ray transceiver within the current task cycle; receiving the first ray reflected by the object through the receiving component of the ray transceiver; determining the color of the first ray received by the receiving component, and determining the receiving and sending time length of the first ray according to the color.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, a ray transceiver is used to detect in real time whether there are paper scraps between the inner drum and the outer drum of the laundry device, or to detect whether there are paper scraps between the inner drum and the outer drum of the laundry device at intervals of a task cycle. The ray is emitted in a preset direction by the emitting component of the ray transceiver, which is recorded as the first ray. The first ray may be reflected by the outer wall of the inner drum, the paper scraps between the inner drum and the outer drum, or the clothes in the inner drum, and then the first ray reflected back is received by the receiving component. Optionally, the preset direction is the direction in which the ray transceiver is vertically pointed to the inner drum.

[0050] Different colors on the receiving component can be used to reflect the length of time between the emission time and the reception time of the first ray (i.e., the length of the receiving and sending time). For example, the shorter the receiving and sending time, the brighter the color set on the receiving component is, and it is not easy to be covered by other colors. A color and receiving and sending time comparison table can be set in advance, and the receiving and sending time of the first ray can be determined according to the color of the first ray received by the receiving component by searching the comparison table.

[0051] S220: When the sending and receiving time is less than the preset time, determine that the object is a first foreign object.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, it can be assumed that when the color of the first ray reflected by the outer wall of the inner cylinder is the first color (such as yellow), the corresponding transmission and reception time length of the first color is the preset time length; when there is a color brighter than yellow (such as orange, red) on the receiving component, it indicates that the first ray is reflected by the object between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, and the transmission and reception time length is less than the preset time length, then the object is determined to be the first foreign body. The first foreign body refers to an object between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, which can be scraps of paper or impurities other than scraps of paper that are free in the water.

[0053] S230. Determine the side length of the target side where the first foreign object that reflects the first ray is located.

[0054] Among them, the target side refers to the side where the first foreign object reflects the first ray. This target side is the side of the first foreign object close to the ray transceiver and far from the outer wall of the inner cylinder. The first ray includes multiple sub-rays with a preset spacing, and the multiple sub-rays are parallel to each other.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, among adjacent sub-rays, only the transceiver time of one sub-ray is less than the preset time, that is, only one sub-ray among adjacent sub-rays is reflected by the first foreign object. Exemplarily, sub-ray A is reflected by the first foreign object, and the adjacent sub-rays B and C of sub-ray A are reflected by the outer wall of the inner cylinder. It can be determined that the first foreign object reflecting sub-ray A cannot be shredded paper, so there is no need to calculate the shape of the first foreign object reflecting sub-ray A.

[0056] Specifically, determining the side length of the target side where the first foreign object that reflects the first ray is located includes: determining whether there are at least two adjacent sub-rays whose transceiver times are both less than the preset time, that is, determining whether there are at least two adjacent sub-rays that are both reflected by the first foreign object; if so, determining the number of rays of the at least two sub-rays; drawing the shape of the target side according to the transceiver time of each sub-ray among the at least two sub-rays; calculating the side length of the target side based on the ray number, the shape of the target side, and the preset spacing according to a pre-set calculation formula.

[0057] Optionally, drawing the shape of the target side according to the transceiver time of each sub-ray can be: determining the distance from the emission position of each sub-ray to the first foreign object according to the transceiver time of each sub-ray, and then drawing each sub-ray according to the distance corresponding to each sub-ray and the preset spacing between each sub-ray, and connecting the endpoints of each sub-ray with line segments to roughly obtain the shape of the target side.

[0058] S240. When the side length is not less than the preset length, determine that the first foreign object is the target foreign object.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, the preset length is preferably 5 millimeters, and the target foreign object is shredded paper. Optionally, it can also be to compare the shape of the target side with a pre-set structural threshold (such as an irregular structure, which has a general constraint on the overall size, the side length is not less than 5 mm, or an identification system trained with a large amount of data, such as a BP neural network, etc.) to determine whether there is a foreign object similar to shredded paper.

[0060] For the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the transceiver duration after the first ray emitted by the ray transceiver is reflected by an object is determined; when the transceiver duration is less than a preset duration, the object is determined to be a first foreign object; the side length of the target side where the first foreign object that reflects the first ray is located is determined; when the side length is not less than a preset length, the first foreign object is determined to be the target foreign object. In this application, a ray transceiver is configured at the bottom of the outer tub of the laundry device. When washing clothes, whether there is a first foreign object (i.e., impurities floating in the water between the inner tub and the outer tub) between the inner tub and the outer tub is first determined through the transceiver duration of the first ray. Furthermore, whether the first foreign object is the target foreign object (i.e., the impurities floating in the water between the inner tub and the outer tub are shredded paper) is determined based on the side length of the target side of the first foreign object, so that whether there is shredded paper in the laundry device can be accurately identified, and subsequent cleaning of the shredded paper can be carried out, which can improve the user experience of using the laundry device.

[0070] Optionally, the first ray includes a plurality of sub-rays with a preset spacing.
