Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of washing method technology, and in particular to a washing process switching method, electronic equipment, and clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of washing methods, when a washing machine is running in a certain mode, if the user requests a change of operating mode, the system can usually only switch modes by pausing the current washing program and restarting a new washing program. This operation often results in the already washed clothes being washed again, which causes unnecessary wear and damage to the fabric. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that in washing programs, mode switching can usually only be achieved by pausing the current washing program and restarting a new washing program, resulting in the repeated washing of already washed clothes, which causes unnecessary wear and damage to the fabric. This invention provides a washing process switching method, an electronic device, and a clothes processing device.

[0004] This invention aims to provide a method for switching washing processes, including:

[0005] Determine the degree of difference between the target garment processing procedure and the current garment processing procedure;

[0006] Based on the degree of difference and the operating status of the clothing processing equipment under the current clothing processing program, the execution strategy of the target clothing processing program is determined;

[0007] The target clothing processing procedure is executed according to the execution strategy of the target clothing processing procedure.

[0008] In some embodiments, the operating state of the clothing processing device under the current clothing processing program includes: the first operating time of the clothing processing device under the current clothing processing program;

[0009] The step of determining the execution strategy of the target garment processing program based on the degree of difference and the operating status of the garment processing equipment under the current garment processing program includes:

[0010] Based on the degree of difference and whether the first running time exceeds the running time of the original washing program of the target clothing processing program, the execution strategy of the target clothing processing program is determined. The execution strategy includes at least one of the running phase of the target clothing processing program and washing parameters.

[0011] In some embodiments, the degree of difference includes: low difference, medium difference, and high difference; or,

[0012] The degree of difference is X, where X = |X1-X2| / X1×100%.

[0013] X1 is the parameter value of the current clothing processing program, and X2 is the parameter value of the target clothing processing program.

[0014] The degree of difference includes: low difference, medium difference, and high difference.

[0015] The low difference is defined as X < 20%, the medium difference is defined as 20% ≤ X ≤ 60%, and the high difference is defined as X > 60%.

[0016] In some embodiments, determining the execution strategy of the target laundry processing program based on the degree of difference and whether the first runtime exceeds the runtime of the original washing program of the target laundry processing program includes:

[0017] Under the condition that the first running time exceeds the running time of the original washing program of the target clothing processing program:

[0018] If the degree of difference is low, then the operation stage of the target clothing processing procedure is determined to be dehydration, and the corresponding washing parameters are the original values.

[0019] If the degree of difference is medium or high, then the operation stage of the target garment processing procedure is determined to be rinsing, and the corresponding washing parameters are the reduced original values.

[0020] And / or, provided that the first runtime does not exceed the runtime of the original washing program of the target garment processing procedure:

[0021] If the degree of difference is low, then the running stage of the target clothing processing program is determined to be a stage where the current clothing processing program has not been executed, and the corresponding washing parameters are the original values.

[0022] If the degree of difference is medium or high, then the running stage of the target clothing processing program is determined to be the stage where the current clothing processing program has not been executed, and the corresponding washing parameters are the reduced original values.

[0023] In some embodiments, when the first runtime exceeds the runtime of the original washing program of the target garment processing program, and the degree of difference is medium or high:

[0024] Based on the relationship between the washing intensity of the current garment processing program and the washing intensity of the target garment processing program, determine the degree of reduction of the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program;

[0025] If the washing intensity of the current garment processing program is greater than the washing intensity of the target garment processing program, then the reduction in the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program is smaller.

[0026] If the washing intensity of the current garment processing program is less than the washing intensity of the target garment processing program, then the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program are reduced to a greater extent.

[0027] In some embodiments, where the first runtime exceeds the runtime of the original washing program of the target garment processing program, the degree of difference is high, and the washing intensity of the current garment processing program is less than the washing intensity of the target garment processing program:

[0028] The target garment processing procedure includes a prompting program that prompts the user whether the garment processing equipment is needed to provide additional care for the garment.

[0029] In some embodiments, where the first runtime does not exceed the runtime of the original washing program of the target garment processing program, and the degree of difference is medium difference:

[0030] Based on the relationship between the washing intensity of the current garment processing program and the washing intensity of the target garment processing program, determine the degree of reduction of the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program;

[0031] If the washing intensity of the current garment processing program is greater than the washing intensity of the target garment processing program, then the reduction in the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program is smaller.

[0032] If the washing intensity of the current garment processing program is less than the washing intensity of the target garment processing program, then the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program are reduced to a greater extent.

[0033] In some embodiments, the degree of difference is high, provided that the first runtime does not exceed the runtime of the original washing program of the target garment processing program:

[0034] Based on the relationship between the washing intensity of the current garment processing program and the washing intensity of the target garment processing program, the execution strategy of the target garment processing program is determined to be to reduce or increase the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program.

[0035] If the washing intensity of the current garment processing program is greater than the washing intensity of the target garment processing program, then the execution strategy of the target garment processing program is determined to be to reduce the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program.

[0036] If the washing intensity of the current garment processing program is less than the washing intensity of the target garment processing program, then the execution strategy of the target garment processing program is determined to be to enhance the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program.

[0037] In some embodiments, the degree of reduction of the original washing parameters of the target garment processing procedure is Y, where Y = (Y1 - Y2) / Y1 × 100%;

[0038] Y1 is the original washing parameter value of the target garment processing program, and Y2 is the reduced parameter value of the target garment processing program;

[0039] When the degree of difference is medium, the reduction in the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program is small, designed as: 3%≤Y≤5%; when the reduction in the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program is large, designed as: 8%≤Y≤10%.

[0040] When the degree of difference is high, the reduction in the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program is small, and is designed as: 13%≤Y≤15%; when the reduction in the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program is large, it is designed as: 18%≤Y≤20%.

[0041] In some embodiments, the washing process switching method further includes: a supplementary adjustment phase;

[0042] The supplementary adjustment phase is performed before the original washing process in which the target garment processing procedure is executed;

[0043] The supplementary adjustment phase includes: determining whether to increase the washing parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program based on the load conditions;

[0044] If the load is heavily soiled, the washing parameters of the target garment processing program are increased; otherwise, the target garment processing program is executed with reduced washing parameters.

[0045] In some embodiments, the high load contamination level includes a first load contamination level and a second load contamination level, wherein the first load contamination level is greater than the second load contamination level;

[0046] If the load is heavily soiled, the washing parameters of the target garment processing program are increased, including:

[0047] If the load dirt level is the first load dirt level and the load amount is the first load amount, then the degree to which the washing parameter value of the target garment processing program is enhanced is the first degree;

[0048] If the load dirtiness is the second load dirtiness and the load amount is the first load amount, then the washing parameter value of the target garment treatment program is enhanced to the second degree;

[0049] If the load dirt level is the first load dirt level and the load amount is the second load amount, then the washing parameter value of the target garment treatment program is enhanced to the third level;

[0050] If the load dirtiness is the second load dirtiness and the load amount is the second load amount, then the washing parameter value of the target garment treatment program is enhanced to the fourth level;

[0051] Among them, the first level > the second level > the third level > the fourth level, and the first load amount > the second load amount.

[0052] In some embodiments, the washing process switching method further includes: a first pretreatment stage;

[0053] The first preprocessing stage occurs before determining the degree of difference between the target garment processing procedure and the current garment processing procedure;

[0054] The first preprocessing stage includes: determining whether the execution strategy of the target clothing processing program is the original washing parameters and original washing process of the target clothing processing program based on whether the second running time of the clothing processing equipment under the current clothing processing program has reached the minimum preset time, or based on whether the door of the clothing processing equipment under the current clothing processing program has been opened.

[0055] If the second running time does not reach the minimum preset time, or if the door of the clothing processing device under the current clothing processing program has been opened, then the execution strategy of the target clothing processing program is determined to be the original washing parameters and original washing process of the target clothing processing program.

[0056] In some embodiments, the washing process switching method further includes: a second pretreatment stage;

[0057] The second preprocessing stage is located after the first preprocessing stage and before determining the degree of difference between the target garment processing procedure and the current garment processing procedure;

[0058] The second pre-processing stage includes: determining whether the execution strategy of the target garment processing program is the original washing parameters and original washing process of the target garment processing program, based on whether the washing stage of the garment processing equipment under the current garment processing program is washing or rinsing;

[0059] If the washing stage of the garment processing equipment under the current garment processing program is neither washing nor rinsing, then the execution strategy of the target garment processing program is determined to be to reduce the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program and execute the original washing process of the target garment processing program.

[0060] In some embodiments, an electronic device is provided, the electronic device comprising:

[0061] Memory stores computer instructions;

[0062] The processor is used to invoke and execute the computer instructions to implement the washing process switching method described above.

[0063] In some embodiments, a garment processing device is provided, which uses the washing process switching method described above, or includes the electronic device described above.

[0064] The solution provided by this invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0065] This washing process switching method optimizes the program adjustment mechanism of the garment processing equipment during mode switching. By dynamically comparing the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program with those of the target garment processing program at the mode switching point, the degree of difference between the two is determined. The control board automatically adjusts the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program based on the running time of the garment processing equipment and the degree of difference between the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program and the target garment processing program. This allows the control board to determine whether to reduce the parameter values ​​of the switched washing process before executing the target garment processing program, based on the degree of difference between the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program and the parameter values ​​of the switched washing process, so that the washing process can be executed continuously and stably. This washing process switching method can not only improve the washing efficiency of clothes after switching washing processes, but also reduce the additional washing damage caused by repeated washing.

[0072] It should be noted that these accompanying drawings and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of the invention to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0073] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "inner" and "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0074] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," "contact," and "communication" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0075] When a washing machine is running a certain mode, if the user requests a mode switch, the system can usually only switch modes by pausing the current washing program and restarting a new washing program. This operation often results in the already washed clothes being washed again, causing unnecessary wear and damage to the fabric.

[0076] Based on this, the following embodiments are proposed.

[0077] Example 1:

[0078] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a washing process switching method, the switching method including:

[0079] Determine the degree of difference between the target garment processing procedure and the current garment processing procedure;

[0080] Based on the degree of difference and the operating status of the clothing processing equipment under the current clothing processing program, the execution strategy of the target clothing processing program is determined;

[0081] The target clothing processing procedure is executed according to the execution strategy of the target clothing processing procedure.

[0082] In this embodiment, when the clothing processing program responds to a switching request, the execution strategy of the target clothing processing program is determined based on the degree of difference and the operating status of the clothing processing device under the current clothing processing program; then, the target clothing processing program is executed according to the execution strategy of the target clothing processing program.

[0083] Based on the degree of difference and the operating status of the garment processing equipment under the current garment processing program, the execution strategy of the target garment processing program is jointly determined, and then the target garment processing program is executed according to the execution strategy. The washing process switching method optimizes the program adjustment mechanism of the garment processing equipment during mode switching. By determining the degree of difference between the target garment processing program and the current garment processing program at the mode switching time point, for example, by dynamically comparing the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program and the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program (including water temperature, detergent dosage, number of rinses, etc.), the control board will automatically adjust the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program based on the running time of the garment processing equipment and the degree of difference between the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program and the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program. This allows the control board to determine whether to adjust the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program before execution based on the degree of difference between the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program and the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program. This ensures that the washing process switching method can improve the washing efficiency of the garments after the target garment processing program and reduce additional washing damage caused by repeated washing.

[0084] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown,

[0085] The operating status of the clothing processing equipment under the current clothing processing program includes: the first running time of the clothing processing equipment under the current clothing processing program;

[0086] The step of determining the execution strategy of the target garment processing program based on the degree of difference and the operating status of the garment processing equipment under the current garment processing program includes:

[0087] Based on the degree of difference and whether the first running time exceeds the running time of the original washing program of the target clothing processing program, the execution strategy of the target clothing processing program is determined. The execution strategy includes at least one of the running phase of the target clothing processing program and washing parameters.

[0088] Furthermore, the degree of difference includes: low difference, medium difference, and high difference; or,

[0089] The degree of difference is X, where X = |X1-X2| / X1×100%.

[0090] X1 is the parameter value of the current clothing processing program, and X2 is the parameter value of the target clothing processing program.

[0091] The degree of difference includes: low difference, medium difference, and high difference.

[0092] The low difference is defined as X < 20%, the medium difference is defined as 20% ≤ X ≤ 60%, and the high difference is defined as X > 60%.

[0093] The parameter values ​​of the current clothing processing program include at least one of the following: current washing time, current detergent dosage, current number of rinses, and current washing water temperature;

[0094] The parameter values ​​of the target garment processing procedure include at least one of the following: target washing time, target detergent dosage, target rinsing times, and target washing water temperature.

[0095] The step of determining the execution strategy of the target garment processing program based on the degree of difference and whether the first runtime exceeds the runtime of the original washing program of the target garment processing program includes:

[0096] Under the condition that the first running time exceeds the running time of the original washing program of the target clothing processing program:

[0097] If the degree of difference is low, then the operation stage of the target clothing processing procedure is determined to be dehydration, and the corresponding washing parameters are the original values.

[0098] If the degree of difference is medium or high, then the operation stage of the target garment processing procedure is determined to be rinsing, and the corresponding washing parameters are the reduced original values.

[0099] And / or, provided that the first runtime does not exceed the runtime of the original washing program of the target garment processing procedure:

[0100] If the degree of difference is low, then the running stage of the target clothing processing program is determined to be a stage where the current clothing processing program has not been executed, and the corresponding washing parameters are the original values.

[0101] If the degree of difference is medium or high, then the operating stage of the target clothing processing program is determined to be a stage where the current clothing processing program has not been executed, and the corresponding washing parameters are the reduced original values.

[0102] In this embodiment, the washing process switching method is used in a garment processing device. The garment processing device executes the washing process switching method through a control motherboard. When executing the washing process switching method, the control motherboard first compares the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program with the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program and obtains the difference value between the two. Then, based on the difference value, it determines the degree of difference between the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program and the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program. The determined degree of difference between the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program and the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program can serve as the basis for the control motherboard to execute subsequent steps of the switching program.

[0103] Specifically, the control board can determine whether to reduce the parameter values ​​of the target clothing processing program before executing it, based on the degree of difference between the parameter values ​​of the current clothing processing program and the parameter values ​​of the target clothing processing program. If the control board detects that the parameter values ​​of the current clothing processing program and the target clothing processing program are small, it means that the washing characteristics of the two programs are similar, and the target clothing processing program has little impact on the repeated washing of the clothes. The clothes will hardly suffer additional washing damage due to repeated washing. Therefore, the control board does not adjust the parameter values ​​of the target clothing processing program and executes the target clothing processing program directly. This can improve the washing efficiency of the clothes after the target clothing processing program. The aforementioned direct execution of the target garment processing procedure includes three schemes: The first scheme executes the remaining unprocessed parts of the current garment processing procedure according to the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing procedure; the second scheme continues execution from any stage of the target garment processing procedure; and the third scheme executes from the first step of the target garment processing procedure until the end of the process. The control board can select the corresponding scheme based on the detected difference between the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing procedure and the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing procedure. If the control board detects a significant difference between the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing procedure and the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing procedure, it indicates a large difference in their washing characteristics, meaning the target garment processing procedure has a greater impact on repeated washing of the garments, and the risk of additional washing damage due to repeated washing is higher. Therefore, after receiving the user's instruction for the target garment processing procedure, the control board first weakens the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing procedure before executing the target garment processing procedure, thus reducing additional washing damage caused by repeated washing.

[0104] This washing process switching method optimizes the program adjustment mechanism of the garment processing equipment during mode switching. By dynamically comparing the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program with those of the target garment processing program (including water temperature, detergent dosage, and number of rinses) at the mode switching point, the degree of difference between the two is determined. The control board automatically adjusts the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program based on the running time of the garment processing equipment and the degree of difference between the parameter values ​​of the current and target garment processing programs. This allows the control board to determine whether to reduce the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program before execution, based on the degree of difference between the parameter values ​​of the current and target garment processing programs, so that the washing process can be executed continuously and stably. This washing process switching method can not only improve the washing efficiency of clothes after the target garment processing program, but also reduce the additional washing damage caused by repeated washing.

[0105] Based on the degree of difference between the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program and the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program, this degree of difference can be divided into three types: low difference, medium difference, and high difference. The control board can determine whether the degree of difference between the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program and the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program is low, medium, or high, and select the corresponding target garment processing program to execute based on the determination result.

[0106] Specifically, when executing a program where the difference between the current and target garment processing procedures is large, the program is executed after reducing the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing procedure; otherwise, it is executed directly. If the control board detects a low difference between the parameter values ​​of the current and target garment processing procedures, it indicates that their washing characteristics are similar, and the target garment processing procedure has little impact on repeated washing of the garments. The garments will hardly suffer additional washing damage due to repeated washing. Therefore, the control board does not adjust the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing procedure and executes it directly. This improves the washing efficiency of the garments after the target garment processing procedure. The above-mentioned direct execution of the target garment processing procedure includes three schemes: the first scheme is to execute the subsequent processes not yet completed in the current garment processing procedure according to the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing procedure; the second scheme is to continue execution from any stage in the target garment processing procedure; the third scheme is to execute from the first step of the target garment processing procedure until the end of the process. The control board can select the corresponding scheme to execute based on the specific degree of difference between the detected parameter values ​​of the current and target garment processing procedures.

[0107] If the control board detects a medium or high difference between the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program and the target garment processing program, it begins comparing the two parameter values ​​and determines the specific degree of reduction in the target garment processing program's parameter values. When executing the program to determine the specific degree of reduction in the target garment processing program's parameter values: if the control board detects that the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program are greater than those of the target garment processing program, this indicates that the current garment processing program's washing intensity is greater than that of the target garment processing program. Washing according to the original parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program would cause a certain degree of damage to the garments. While the current washing program's parameters can reduce the washing intensity of the clothes, too much reduction in the target garment processing program's parameters would prevent the clothes from achieving the desired washing effect. Therefore, the control board slightly reduces the parameters of the target garment processing program to minimize washing damage while maintaining the desired washing effect. If the control board detects that the current garment processing program's parameters are lower than the target garment processing program's parameters, it means that the current program's washing intensity is less than the target program's. Washing according to the original parameters of the target program would cause significant washing damage to the clothes. Therefore, the control board significantly reduces the parameters of the target program to minimize additional washing damage to the clothes after the target garment processing program.

[0108] By categorizing the difference between the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program and the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program into low, medium, and high differences, the control board can determine whether to reduce the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program and the degree of reduction based on the determination of the difference before executing the target garment processing program, thereby further reducing the washing damage to the garments after the target garment processing program.

[0109] like Figure 3As shown, the parameter value of the current garment processing program is X1, the parameter value of the target garment processing program is X2, and the degree of difference between the parameter values ​​of the current and target garment processing programs is X. The degree of difference X can be obtained by dividing the difference between the parameter values ​​of the current and target garment processing programs by 100% of the parameter value of the current garment processing program. The degree of difference X is set to satisfy the equation: X = |X1 - X2| / X1 × 100%. The degree of difference X obtained from the above equation is a percentage value. Based on satisfying this equation, a low difference value is set to less than 20%, a medium difference value is set to greater than 20% and less than 60%, and a high difference value is set to greater than 60%. By specifically setting the value of the degree of difference X, the control board can more quickly and directly correspond the obtained degree of difference X with three different schemes for directly executing the target garment processing program, thereby improving the execution efficiency of the control board for this washing process switching method.

[0110] By setting the degree of difference X to satisfy X=|X1-X2| / X1×100%, and dividing X into three levels: low, medium, and high, the control board can compare the parameter values ​​of the current clothing processing program with the parameter values ​​of the target clothing processing program. This allows the control board to more quickly and directly correlate the obtained degree of difference X with the three different schemes for directly executing the target clothing processing program, and make corresponding preliminary adjustments to the parameter values ​​of the target clothing processing program.

[0111] In this embodiment, the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program include at least one of the following: current washing duration, current detergent dosage, current rinsing cycles, and current washing water temperature. The parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program include at least one of the following: switching washing duration, switching detergent dosage, switching rinsing cycles, and switching washing water temperature. When the control motherboard executes this washing process switching method, if it detects a low difference between the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program and the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program, the control motherboard will not adjust any of the above parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program and will directly execute the target garment processing program. This improves the washing efficiency of the garments after the target garment processing program.

[0112] Specifically, the first approach mentioned above, which involves directly executing the target garment processing procedure, is to execute the subsequent processes that have not yet been performed in the current garment processing procedure according to the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing procedure.

[0113] For example: If the current garment processing program has completed the current washing time and detergent dosage, the control board starts to switch the number of rinses and the washing water temperature; the second option mentioned above, which directly executes the target garment processing program, continues execution from any step in the target garment processing program. For example, if the current garment processing program has completed the current washing time, the control board can start execution from at least one part of the process, such as switching the washing time, switching the detergent dosage, switching the number of rinses, and switching the washing water temperature; the third option mentioned above, which directly executes the target garment processing program, starts execution from the first step of the target garment processing program until the end of that process. For example, if the current garment processing program has completed the current detergent dosage, the control board starts execution from switching the washing time and sequentially executes the switching of detergent dosage, switching of the number of rinses, and switching of the washing water temperature according to the set order; the above options enable the control board to select and execute the corresponding option based on the specific degree of difference between the detected parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program and the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program.

[0114] If the control board detects that the current washing time and the switching washing time have a medium or high difference, the control board will start to compare the current washing time and the switching washing time, and obtain a specific comparison result on the magnitude of the parameter values ​​of the two. Based on the specific comparison result, the control board will determine the specific degree of reduction of the parameter value of the target clothing processing program.

[0115] Preferably, the number of rinse cycles is an integer value. When the number of rinse cycles after parameter adjustment is a decimal value, the control board rounds it to obtain an integer value. The weights of the above parameters in the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program are as follows: current washing time 50%, current number of rinse cycles 30%, current water temperature 15%, and current detergent dosage 5%. The weights of the above parameters in the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program are as follows: switching washing time 50%, switching rinsing cycles 30%, switching water temperature 15%, and switching detergent dosage 5%.

[0116] For example, the current garment processing program's parameters are: current washing water temperature 20℃, current washing time 60 minutes, current detergent dosage 1.0 times, and current rinsing times 2. After the garment processing equipment has run for 20 minutes, when it enters the washing stage, it switches to the target garment processing program. The target garment processing program's parameters are: switching to a washing water temperature of 40℃, switching to a washing time of 80 minutes, switching to a detergent dosage of 1.2 times, and switching to rinsing times 3. The difference between the target and current garment processing program's parameters is within the range of 20% to 60%, i.e., a 100% difference in water temperature, a 33.3% difference in washing time, a 20% difference in detergent dosage, and a 50% difference in rinsing times. Calculated according to the weighted percentage of each parameter value, 100% × 15% + 33.3% × 50% + 20% × 5% + 50% × 30% = 42.65%. The final calculated difference is 42.65%, falling within the 20% to 60% range.

[0117] Furthermore, the current garment processing program's runtime does not exceed that of the target garment processing program. Additionally, the target garment processing program's washing intensity is higher than the current program's. After initial parameter adjustments, the target garment processing program's parameters were updated as follows: switching washing water temperature to 36℃, switching washing time to 72 minutes, switching detergent dosage to 1.1 times, and switching rinse cycles to 3. Based on the recorded garment weight (multiple loads) and the identified garment soiling level (high), the control board further optimized the target garment processing program's parameters. The final adjusted parameters are: switching washing water temperature to 41℃, switching washing time to 82 minutes, switching detergent dosage to 1.2 times, and switching rinse cycles to 3. The garment processing equipment continues to run for 62 minutes until washing is complete, based on the final parameter adjustments.

[0118] By comparing the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program and the target garment processing program with the control motherboard, the control motherboard can select the corresponding scheme to be executed based on the degree of difference between the two, and can also determine the specific degree of reduction of the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program based on the specific comparison results.

[0119] In this embodiment, when executing a program that determines the execution mode of the target clothing processing program based on whether the current clothing processing program's runtime exceeds the preset runtime of the target clothing processing program and the degree of difference, at least two scenarios arise: the first is that the current clothing processing program's runtime exceeds the preset runtime of the target clothing processing program; the second is that the current clothing processing program's runtime does not exceed the preset runtime of the target clothing processing program. The control motherboard determines the execution mode of the target clothing processing program based on these two different scenarios and the different degrees of difference corresponding to each of the two scenarios.

[0120] Specifically, when the control board detects that the running time of the current garment processing program exceeds the preset running time of the target garment processing program, if the control board determines that the difference between the running time of the current garment processing program and the preset running time of the target garment processing program is small, it indicates that the washing characteristics of the current garment processing program and the target garment processing program are highly similar. Therefore, the subsequent program of the target garment processing program can be directly executed. Thus, the control board can start executing the target garment processing program from the spin-drying stage, which can improve the execution efficiency of the washing process switching method while ensuring the washing effect of the clothes. If the control board determines that the difference between the running time of the current garment processing program and the preset running time of the target garment processing program is large, it indicates that the washing characteristics of the current garment processing program and the target garment processing program are quite different. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program. Thus, after reducing the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program, the control board will start executing the target garment processing program from the rinsing stage, thereby ensuring the washing effect of the clothes and reducing the damage to the clothes caused by repeated washing.

[0121] When the control board detects that the running time of the current garment processing program has not exceeded the preset running time of the target garment processing program, if the control board determines that the difference between the running time of the current garment processing program and the preset running time of the target garment processing program is small, it indicates that the washing characteristics of the current garment processing program and the target garment processing program are highly similar. Therefore, the control board can execute the process parts that the current garment processing program has not yet completed, according to the target garment processing program. This ensures that the progress of the garment washing program continues, avoiding additional washing time due to repeated washing. While ensuring the washing effect of the garments, it also improves the execution of this washing process switching method. Efficiency: If the control board determines that the difference between the running time of the current garment processing program and the preset running time of the target garment processing program is large, it indicates that the washing characteristics of the current garment processing program and the target garment processing program are quite different. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the parameter value of the target garment processing program. After reducing the parameter value of the target garment processing program, the control board will execute the target garment processing program from the washing stage of the target garment processing program according to the specific difference value, or execute the process part that the current garment processing program has not yet completed according to the target garment processing program. This ensures the washing effect of the clothes and reduces the damage to the clothes caused by repeated washing.

[0122] By comparing the running time of the current clothing processing program with the preset running time of the target clothing processing program, the control board can make corresponding preliminary adjustments to the parameter values ​​of the target clothing processing program according to the different degrees of difference under different comparison results.

[0123] Alternatively, in one implementation of this embodiment,

[0124] When the first running time exceeds the running time of the original washing program of the target garment processing program, and the degree of difference is medium or high:

[0125] Based on the relationship between the washing intensity of the current garment processing program and the washing intensity of the target garment processing program, determine the degree of reduction of the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program;

[0126] If the washing intensity of the current garment processing program is greater than the washing intensity of the target garment processing program, then the reduction in the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program is smaller.

[0127] If the washing intensity of the current garment processing program is less than the washing intensity of the target garment processing program, then the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program are reduced to a greater extent.

[0128] Furthermore, under the condition that the first running time exceeds the running time of the original washing program of the target garment processing program, the degree of difference is high, and the washing intensity of the current garment processing program is less than the washing intensity of the target garment processing program:

[0129] The target garment processing procedure includes a prompting program that prompts the user whether the garment processing equipment is needed to provide additional care for the garment.

[0130] In this embodiment, if the running time of the current garment processing program exceeds the running time of the original washing program of the target garment processing program, it indicates that the running time of the current garment processing program is relatively long, and the washing intensity of the current garment processing program is at a medium or high difference from that of the target garment processing program. Therefore, if the washing intensity of the current garment processing program is greater than that of the target garment processing program, it indicates that the washing intensity of the target garment processing program is relatively low. Even if the running time of the current garment processing program is long, the reduction in the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program is small when switching to the target garment processing program, ensuring thorough washing. Conversely, if the washing intensity of the current garment processing program is less than that of the target garment processing program, it indicates that the washing intensity of the target garment processing program is relatively high. Furthermore, if the running time of the current garment processing program is long, the reduction in the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program is large when switching to the target garment processing program, to avoid over-washing and damage to the garments.

[0131] Furthermore, under the condition that the first running time exceeds the running time of the original washing program of the target garment processing program, the degree of difference is high, and the washing intensity of the current garment processing program is less than the washing intensity of the target garment processing program:

[0132] The target garment processing program has a high washing intensity and a long washing time. Therefore, a prompting program is introduced to remind the user whether the garment processing equipment needs to provide additional care for the garments, thereby further enhancing the protection of the garments.

[0133] Alternatively, in one implementation of this embodiment,

[0134] Under the condition that the first running time does not exceed the running time of the original washing program of the target garment processing program, and the degree of difference is medium difference:

[0135] Based on the relationship between the washing intensity of the current garment processing program and the washing intensity of the target garment processing program, determine the degree of reduction of the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program;

[0136] If the washing intensity of the current garment processing program is greater than the washing intensity of the target garment processing program, then the reduction in the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program is smaller.

[0137] If the washing intensity of the current garment processing program is less than the washing intensity of the target garment processing program, then the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program are reduced to a greater extent.

[0138] In this embodiment, when the first running time does not exceed the running time of the original washing program of the target clothing processing program, and the degree of difference is medium, it indicates that the washing time of the current clothing processing program is relatively short. When the washing intensity of the current clothing processing program is greater than the washing intensity of the target clothing processing program, it indicates that the washing intensity of the target clothing processing program is relatively low. Therefore, the reduction in the original washing parameters of the target clothing processing program is small, to ensure thorough washing. Conversely, when the washing intensity of the current clothing processing program is less than the washing intensity of the target clothing processing program, it indicates that the washing intensity of the target clothing processing program is relatively high. Therefore, the reduction in the original washing parameters of the target clothing processing program is large, to avoid over-washing.

[0139] Alternatively, in one implementation of this embodiment,

[0140] Under the condition that the degree of difference is high, the first running time does not exceed the running time of the original washing program of the target clothing processing program:

[0141] Based on the relationship between the washing intensity of the current garment processing program and the washing intensity of the target garment processing program, the execution strategy of the target garment processing program is determined to be to reduce or increase the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program.

[0142] If the washing intensity of the current garment processing program is greater than the washing intensity of the target garment processing program, then the execution strategy of the target garment processing program is determined to be to reduce the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program.

[0143] If the washing intensity of the current garment processing program is less than the washing intensity of the target garment processing program, then the execution strategy of the target garment processing program is determined to be to enhance the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program.

[0144] In this embodiment, if the first running time does not exceed the running time of the original washing program of the target clothing processing program, it indicates that the running time of the current clothing processing program is relatively short, and the degree of difference is high. If the washing intensity of the current clothing processing program is greater than the washing intensity of the target clothing processing program, it indicates that the washing intensity of the target clothing processing program is low. Therefore, the execution strategy of the target clothing processing program is determined to be to reduce the original washing parameters of the target clothing processing program to ensure a smooth transition in the washing process. If the washing intensity of the current clothing processing program is less than the washing intensity of the target clothing processing program, it indicates that the washing intensity of the target clothing processing program is high. Therefore, the execution strategy of the target clothing processing program is determined to be to enhance the original washing parameters of the target clothing processing program to improve the washing effect. The way to enhance the original washing parameters of the target clothing processing program can be to add soaking wash when switching programs in the washing stage, or to add cold water rinsing when switching programs in the rinsing stage to enhance cleaning ability.

[0145] Alternatively, in one implementation of this embodiment,

[0146] The degree of reduction in the original washing parameters of the target garment treatment program is Y, where Y = (Y1 - Y2) / Y1 × 100%;

[0147] Y1 is the original washing parameter value of the target clothing processing program, and Y2 is the reduced parameter value of the target clothing processing program.

[0148] When the degree of difference is medium, the reduction in the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program is small, designed as: 3%≤Y≤5%; when the reduction in the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program is large, designed as: 8%≤Y≤10%.

[0149] When the degree of difference is high, the reduction in the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program is small, and is designed as: 13%≤Y≤15%; when the reduction in the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program is large, it is designed as: 18%≤Y≤20%.

[0150] In this embodiment, assuming the initial parameter value of the target garment processing procedure is Y1, the reduction parameter value of the target garment processing procedure is Y2, and the degree of reduction of the parameter value of the target garment processing procedure is Y, then the degree of reduction of the parameter value of the target garment processing procedure can be obtained by the ratio of the difference between the initial parameter value and the reduction parameter value of the target garment processing procedure to 100% of the initial parameter value of the target garment processing procedure. That is, the degree of reduction Y is set to satisfy the equation: Y = (Y1 - Y2) / Y1 × 100%. The degree of reduction Y obtained according to this equation is a percentage value. Based on satisfying the above equation, when the difference is medium, the smaller value of the degree of reduction Y is set to be greater than or equal to 3% and less than or equal to 5%, and the larger value of the degree of reduction Y is set to be greater than or equal to 8% and less than or equal to 10%; when the difference is high, the smaller value of the degree of reduction Y is set to be greater than or equal to 13% and less than or equal to 15%, and the larger value of the degree of reduction Y is set to be greater than or equal to 18% and less than or equal to 20%. The reduction degree Y of the target garment processing program parameter value is set to a smaller and larger range corresponding to medium and high differences, respectively. This allows the control board to select the corresponding scheme from three different schemes for directly executing the target garment processing program in a more precise manner based on the difference degree X and the determined reduction degree Y of the target garment processing program parameter value, thereby improving the accuracy of the control board when executing the washing process switching method.

[0151] By setting the reduction degree Y to satisfy Y = (Y1-Y2) / Y1×100%, and setting the range of smaller and larger values ​​of the reduction degree Y according to the medium and high differences respectively, the control motherboard can select the corresponding scheme to be executed in a more precise way from three different schemes of directly executing the target clothing processing program, thereby improving the accuracy of the control motherboard when executing the washing process switching method.

[0152] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown,

[0153] The washing process switching method also includes: a supplementary adjustment phase;

[0154] The supplementary adjustment phase is performed before the original washing process in which the target garment processing procedure is executed;

[0155] The supplementary adjustment phase includes: determining whether to increase the washing parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program based on the load conditions;

[0156] If the load is heavily soiled, the washing parameters of the target garment processing program are increased; otherwise, the target garment processing program is executed with reduced washing parameters.

[0157] In this embodiment, the washing process switching method further includes a supplementary adjustment phase. After the control motherboard reduces the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program, it begins executing the supplementary adjustment phase program. After the control motherboard completes the supplementary adjustment phase program, it then executes the target garment processing program. When the control motherboard executes the supplementary adjustment phase program, it assesses the soiling level of the load, i.e., the clothes being washed, and determines whether to increase the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program based on the soiling level assessment result.

[0158] Specifically, if the control board determines that the clothes are highly soiled, it means that the current washing program is not strong enough and the clothes need to be washed again. Therefore, the control board needs to increase the parameter values ​​of the target clothes processing program to effectively remove dirt from the clothes. If the control board determines that the clothes are not highly soiled, it means that the current washing program is sufficient to clean the clothes and there is no need to continue washing at that intensity. Therefore, the control board needs to decrease the parameter values ​​of the target clothes processing program to ensure the washing effect while reducing the damage to the clothes caused by repeated washing.

[0159] By setting a supplementary adjustment stage in the washing process switching method, the control board can reduce the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program after reducing them, and then make a final adjustment to the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program based on the degree of dirtiness of the current washing load. This can prioritize the washing effect of the clothes and reduce the damage to the clothes caused by repeated washing.

[0160] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown,

[0161] The high load contamination level includes a first load contamination level and a second load contamination level, wherein the first load contamination level is greater than the second load contamination level.

[0162] If the load is heavily soiled, the washing parameters of the target garment processing program are increased, including:

[0163] If the load dirt level is the first load dirt level and the load amount is the first load amount, then the degree to which the washing parameter value of the target garment processing program is enhanced is the first degree;

[0164] If the load dirtiness is the second load dirtiness and the load amount is the first load amount, then the washing parameter value of the target garment treatment program is enhanced to the second degree;

[0165] If the load dirt level is the first load dirt level and the load amount is the second load amount, then the washing parameter value of the target garment treatment program is enhanced to the third level;

[0166] If the load dirtiness is the second load dirtiness and the load amount is the second load amount, then the washing parameter value of the target garment treatment program is enhanced to the fourth level;

[0167] Among them, the first level > the second level > the third level > the fourth level, and the first load amount > the second load amount.

[0168] In this embodiment, the high degree of soiling includes two levels: a first degree of soiling and a second degree of soiling. The first degree of soiling is more severe than the second degree of soiling. The load also includes two levels: the first load level is in the high load range, and the second load level is in the low load range. When executing the program that enhances the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program if the soiling degree is high, the control motherboard simultaneously detects the level of soiling degree and the load level, and determines the degree to which the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program are enhanced based on the detection results. The degree to which the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program are enhanced is divided into four levels according to different washing intensities: the first level, the second level, the third level, and the fourth level. The washing intensities of the four levels are as follows: the first level > the second level > the third level > the fourth level.

[0169] Specifically, in the first scenario: when the control board detects that the level of soiling of the load has reached the first level of soiling and there is a lot of soiling at present, it means that the soiling of the clothes is the highest and there are a lot of clothes in the drum. The washing difficulty is the highest at this time. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance the parameter value of the target clothes processing program with the highest washing intensity to ensure the washing effect of the clothes.

[0170] The second scenario: When the control board detects that the load dirtiness level has reached the second level and there is a lot of load, it means that the clothes are very dirty and there are a lot of clothes in the drum. The washing difficulty is second only to the first scenario. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the parameter value of the target clothes processing program with the second level of washing intensity to clean the clothes and reduce the damage to the clothes caused by repeated washing.

[0171] The third scenario: When the control board detects that the load dirtiness level has reached the first level and the current load is low, it means that the clothes are the dirtiest at this time, but there are few clothes in the drum. The washing difficulty is the third highest at this time. Therefore, the parameters of the target clothes processing program need to be enhanced with the third level of washing intensity to clean the clothes and reduce the damage to the clothes caused by repeated washing.

[0172] The fourth scenario: When the control board detects that the load dirtiness level has reached the second level and the current load is low, it means that the clothes are quite dirty and there are few clothes in the drum. The washing difficulty is the lowest among the four scenarios. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the parameter value of the target clothes processing program with the fourth level of washing intensity. This will not only clean the clothes but also reduce the damage to the clothes caused by repeated washing.

[0173] By distinguishing between the first load level of dirtiness, the second load level of dirtiness, and the load amount, the control board first divides the load inside the drum into four situations, and then corresponds these four situations to four levels of washing intensity. Finally, the parameter values ​​of the target clothing processing program are adjusted. This can match the most suitable washing intensity for different situations of the load inside the drum, so as to clean the clothes while reducing the damage to the clothes caused by repeated washing.

[0174] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown,

[0175] The washing process switching method further includes: a first pretreatment stage;

[0176] The first preprocessing stage occurs before determining the degree of difference between the target garment processing procedure and the current garment processing procedure;

[0177] The first preprocessing stage includes: determining whether the execution strategy of the target clothing processing program is the original washing parameters and original washing process of the target clothing processing program based on whether the second running time of the clothing processing equipment under the current clothing processing program has reached the minimum preset time, or based on whether the door of the clothing processing equipment under the current clothing processing program has been opened.

[0178] If the second running time does not reach the minimum preset time, or if the door of the clothing processing device under the current clothing processing program has been opened, then the execution strategy of the target clothing processing program is determined to be the original washing parameters and original washing process of the target clothing processing program.

[0179] In this embodiment, the washing process switching method further includes: a first pre-processing stage; the first pre-processing stage is executed before determining the degree of difference between the parameter values ​​of the current clothing processing program and the parameter values ​​of the target clothing processing program; when executing the washing process switching method, the control motherboard first completes the program of the first pre-processing stage, and then executes the program to compare the difference between the parameter values ​​of the current clothing processing program and the parameter values ​​of the target clothing processing program, and determine the degree of difference between the two. When executing the program of the first pre-processing stage, the control motherboard can determine whether the second running time of the current clothing processing program has reached the minimum preset time and obtain the judgment result of the current washing time, or the control motherboard can determine whether the washing machine door has been opened in the current clothing processing program and obtain the judgment result of whether the washing machine door has been opened. The control motherboard determines whether to directly execute the entire process of the target clothing processing program based on the judgment result of the current washing time or the judgment result of whether the washing machine door has been opened.

[0180] The minimum preset duration is 5 to 10 minutes.

[0181] Specifically, if the control board detects that the second run time of the current clothing processing program has not yet reached the minimum preset time, or if the control board detects that the washing machine door has been opened during the current clothing processing program, it indicates that the current clothing processing program's run time is very short, and the clothes have not undergone effective washing treatment. The clothes will hardly suffer damage from repeated washing. Therefore, the control board can directly execute the entire original washing process of the target clothing processing program. That is, the control board executes from the first step of the target clothing processing program until the program ends. If the control board detects that the current clothing processing program's run time has reached or exceeded the minimum preset time, or if the control board detects that the washing machine door has not been opened during the current clothing processing program, it indicates that the current clothing processing program's run time is relatively long, and the clothes have already undergone a certain washing effect. If the entire original washing process of the target clothing processing program is executed, the clothes will suffer damage from repeated washing. At this time, the control board begins to compare the difference between the parameter values ​​of the current clothing processing program and the parameter values ​​of the target clothing processing program, determines the degree of difference, and decides how to execute the subsequent steps of the target clothing processing program based on the degree of difference.

[0182] By setting a first pre-processing stage in the washing process switching method, the control board determines whether to directly execute the entire process of the target clothing processing program before determining the degree of difference between the parameter values ​​of the current clothing processing program and the parameter values ​​of the target clothing processing program, based on the judgment result of the current washing time or the judgment result of whether the washing machine door has been opened. This can prioritize the washing effect of the clothes and reduce the damage to the clothes caused by repeated washing.

[0183] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown,

[0184] The washing process switching method further includes: a second pretreatment stage;

[0185] The second preprocessing stage is located after the first preprocessing stage and before determining the degree of difference between the target garment processing procedure and the current garment processing procedure;

[0186] The second pre-processing stage includes: determining whether the execution strategy of the target garment processing program is the original washing parameters and original washing process of the target garment processing program, based on whether the washing stage of the garment processing equipment under the current garment processing program is washing or rinsing;

[0187] If the washing stage of the garment processing equipment under the current garment processing program is neither washing nor rinsing, then the execution strategy of the target garment processing program is determined to be to reduce the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program and execute the original washing process of the target garment processing program.

[0188] In this embodiment, the washing stage of the garment processing equipment under the current garment processing program is determined. Based on whether the washing stage or rinsing stage of the garment processing equipment under the current garment processing program has been executed, it is determined whether the execution strategy of the target garment processing program is the original washing parameters and original washing process of the target garment processing program. If the washing stage or rinsing stage of the garment processing equipment under the current garment processing program has been executed, that is, the washing stage or rinsing stage of the garment processing equipment under the current garment processing program is already executed, by determining that the execution strategy of the target garment processing program is to reduce the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program and then execute the original washing process of the target garment processing program, it can not only meet the needs of switching washing processes, but also avoid over-washing. If the washing stage of the garment processing equipment under the current garment processing program is in the washing stage or rinsing stage, then by adjusting the original washing parameters of the target garment processing program and / or starting from a suitable step in the original washing process of the target garment processing program, a more reasonable execution mode of the target garment processing program can be achieved.

[0189] Example 2

[0190] This embodiment provides an electronic device, which includes:

[0191] Memory stores computer instructions;

[0192] The processor is used to invoke and execute computer instructions to implement the washing process switching method in Embodiment 1.

[0193] In this embodiment, the electronic device includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores computer instructions, and the processor calls and executes these instructions to implement the washing process switching method in Embodiment 1. Since the electronic device can execute the washing process switching method in Embodiment 1, it possesses all the beneficial effects of this method. To optimize the program adjustment mechanism of the clothing processing equipment during mode switching, it can be divided into a system operation flow, an initial parameter value adjustment stage, and a final parameter value adjustment stage, as illustrated below:

[0194] I. Controlling the motherboard's operating process:

[0195] When the garment processing equipment is running a certain program, if the user requests a program switch, the control board will first perform a logical judgment:

[0196] (a) Determine if the garment handling equipment has been running for at least 10 minutes and the user has not opened the garment handling equipment door. If less than 10 minutes have passed or the user has opened the garment handling equipment door to add clothes, the switched washing process will be started directly. At this time, since the current garment handling program has a very short running time, the program switching will have little impact on the washing of the clothes. Furthermore, if the user adds clothes midway through the process, the garment handling equipment will need to re-weigh the clothes in the drum before selecting the subsequent program. If the current garment handling program has been running for more than 10 minutes and the user has not opened the door, the control board will record the weight of the clothes weighed by the garment handling equipment (g).

[0197] (ii) Subsequently, the current stage of the garment processing equipment is further determined: If it is in the spin-drying stage, since the washing and rinsing stages have already passed, the garment processing equipment needs to re-execute the switched washing process to meet user needs. At the same time, to avoid over-washing, the control board will reduce the parameter values ​​of the switched washing process by 20%. If it is in the washing or rinsing stage, it enters the initial parameter value adjustment stage.

[0198] (iii) After the initial parameter adjustment is completed, the control board will identify the current level of soiling of the clothes: if the soiling level is determined to be low, the switched washing process will continue to be executed according to the initially adjusted parameter values. If the soiling level is medium or high, the final parameter adjustment stage will be entered, and the switched washing process will continue to be executed according to the final adjusted parameters.

[0199] By controlling the motherboard's operating process, the motherboard can effectively optimize parameter settings during program switching, reducing damage to clothes from repeated washing while meeting the user's actual needs.

[0200] II. Initial parameter adjustment phase:

[0201] During the program switching process of the garment processing equipment, the control board needs to analyze the differences between the parameter values ​​of the switched washing process X2 and the current garment processing program X1, and take corresponding parameter value adjustment strategies based on the degree of difference and the operating status of the garment processing equipment. The specific operation and reasons are as follows:

[0202] (a) Classification of procedural differences:

[0203] 1. Low difference: When the difference between the parameter values ​​of the switched washing process X2 and the current clothing processing program X1 is less than 20%, it indicates that the washing characteristics of the two are relatively similar and have little impact on the washing of clothes.

[0204] 2. Medium Difference: When the difference between the parameter values ​​of the switched washing process X2 and the current clothing processing program X1 is between 20% and 60%, it indicates that there is a certain difference in the washing parameters between the two, and appropriate adjustments need to be made to avoid causing a significant impact on the clothes.

[0205] 3. High Difference: When the parameter values ​​of the switched washing process X2 and the current clothing processing program X1 differ by more than 60%, it indicates that there is a significant difference in washing characteristics between the two. Further optimization is needed in conjunction with the washing intensity to ensure a balance between washing effect and user experience.

[0206] (ii) Processing strategies based on runtime:

[0207] 1. The current laundry processing program X1 has run for longer than the duration of the switched washing cycle X2:

[0208] (1) If the switching washing process X2 is a low-difference program, since it is less different from the current clothing processing program X1, the running time of the two will not differ much; secondly, the running time of the current clothing processing program X1 has exceeded that of the switching washing process X2, indicating that the current clothing processing program X1 has exceeded the washing and rinsing stage of the switching washing process X2. Therefore, the control board can directly skip the washing and rinsing stage and enter the dehydration stage of the switching washing process X2 to reduce the damage to the clothes caused by repeated washing.

[0209] (2) If the switched washing process X2 is a medium difference program, the control board needs to adjust the parameter values ​​of the switched washing process X2 (such as washing water temperature, washing time, detergent dosage, number of rinses, etc.) by 5% to 10% (the adjustment is reduced by 5% when the parameter value of the switched washing process X2 is less than the parameter value of the current clothing processing program X1, and reduced by 10% when the parameter value of the switched washing process X2 is greater than the parameter value of the current clothing processing program X1). Since the running time of the current clothing processing program X1 has exceeded the running time of the switched washing process X2, and the difference between the two is medium, the washing stage of the current clothing processing program X1 should have been completed. Therefore, the control board can skip the washing stage of the switched washing process X2 and change the parameter value of the switched washing process X2 in the rinsing stage, and re-execute the rinsing stage, which not only meets the user's needs but also protects the clothes.

[0210] (3) If the switched washing process X2 is a high-variability program, the control board needs to comprehensively consider the washing intensity of the switched washing process X2 and the current clothing processing program X1:

[0211] a. If the washing intensity of the switched washing process X2 is higher than that of the current garment processing program X1, in order to avoid overwashing, the parameter value of the switched washing process X2 needs to be reduced by 20%, and the user should be prompted whether additional care programs (such as color protection, fabric softening, etc.) are needed to improve the washing effect and user experience.

[0212] b. If the washing intensity of the switched washing process X2 is lower than that of the current garment processing program X1, the parameter value of the switched washing process X2 will be reduced by 15% to ensure the minimum washing effect. Since the washing intensity of the switched washing process X2 is lower than that of the current garment processing program X1, it means that the running time of the current garment processing program X1 has exceeded the washing and rinsing time of the switched washing process X2. Due to the high degree of difference between the two, in order to ensure the washing effect of the switched washing process X2, the control board needs to re-execute the rinsing stage at the same time.

[0213] 2. The running time of the current laundry processing program X1 has not exceeded the duration of the switched washing process X2:

[0214] (1) If the switched washing process X2 is a low-difference program, since its difference from the current clothing processing program X1 is small, the control board can directly use the parameter values ​​of the switched washing process X2 to continue washing without additional adjustment.

[0215] (2) If the switched washing process X2 is a medium difference program, the control board needs to adjust the parameter value of the switched washing process X2 by 5%-10% (reduce by 5% when the parameter value of the switched washing process X2 is less than the parameter value of the current clothing processing program X1, and reduce by 10% when the parameter value of the switched washing process X2 is greater than the parameter value of the current clothing processing program X1), and continue to execute the switched washing process X2 to ensure the stability and effect of the washing process.

[0216] (3) If the switched washing process X2 is a high-variability program, the control board needs to comprehensively consider the washing intensity of the switched washing process X2 and the current clothing processing program X1:

[0217] a. If the washing intensity of the switched washing process X2 is higher than that of the current clothing processing program X1, the control board can add a soaking wash (when switching programs during the washing stage) or a cold water rinse (when switching programs during the rinsing stage) to enhance the cleaning ability in order to improve the washing effect.

[0218] b. If the washing intensity of the switched washing process X2 is lower than that of the current laundry processing program X1, the parameter value of the switched washing process X2 will be reduced by 5% to ensure a smooth transition of the washing process, and the switched washing process will continue to be executed.

[0219] III. Final Adjustment Stage of Parameter Values

[0220] After initial parameter adjustments, the control board will make further judgments based on the degree of soiling and weight (g) of the clothes. This judgment step is designed to compensate for any potential impact on washing performance caused by reducing parameter values ​​during the initial adjustment phase, thus ensuring the final washing result reaches the ideal state. If the clothes are moderately or heavily soiled, the control board will combine the recorded weight (g) of the clothes to perform final optimization of the parameter values ​​adjusted during the initial adjustment phase, ensuring that the washing process is both efficient and gentle.

[0221] (a) Load determination:

[0222] If the weight of the clothing exceeds half of the full load capacity, it is considered overloaded; otherwise, it is considered underloaded.

[0223] (II) Final adjustment of parameter values:

[0224] 1. Low load and moderate dirt: Increase the parameter value of the switched washing cycle X2 by 5%.

[0225] 2. Low load and high dirt level: Increase the parameter value of the switched washing process X2 by 8%.

[0226] 3. High load and moderate dirt level: Increase the parameter value of the switched washing process X2 by 10%.

[0227] 4. High load and high level of dirt: Increase the parameter value of the switched washing process X2 by 15%.

[0228] After the final adjustment of the parameter values ​​is completed, the garment processing equipment will continue to operate according to the adjusted parameter values.

[0229] Simulation application assumptions:

[0230] The current washing program X1 has the following parameters: current water temperature 20℃, current wash duration 60 minutes, current detergent dosage 1.0 times, and current rinsing times 2. After the washing machine has run for 20 minutes, it switches to the next washing program X2. The parameters for the next washing program X2 are: changed water temperature 40℃, changed wash duration 80 minutes, changed detergent dosage 1.2 times, and changed rinsing times 3. The difference between the parameters of the next washing program X2 and the current washing program X1 is within the range of 20% to 60%, and the duration of the current washing program X1 does not exceed the duration of the next washing program X2. Furthermore, the washing intensity of the next washing program X2 is higher than that of the current washing program X1. After initial adjustment of the parameters, the parameters for the next washing program X2 are updated to: changed water temperature 36℃, changed wash duration 72 minutes, changed detergent dosage 1.1 times, and changed rinsing times 3. Based on the recorded garment weight (multiple loads) and the identified level of soiling (high), the control board further optimizes the parameters of the switched washing process X2. The final adjusted parameters for the switched washing process X2 are: switched washing water temperature 41℃, switched washing time 82 minutes, switched detergent dosage 1.2 times, and switched rinsing times 3 times. The garment processing equipment continues to run for 62 minutes until the washing is complete, based on the final adjustment of the parameters.

[0231] Example 3

[0232] This embodiment provides a garment processing device that uses the washing process switching method in Embodiment 1, or includes the electronic equipment in Embodiment 2.

[0233] In this embodiment, the clothing processing device can be a drum washing machine or other device capable of drying clothes. This device can directly execute the clothing drying control method in Embodiment 1 to dry the clothes. Alternatively, the electronic device from Embodiment 2 can be installed on the clothing processing device, and the clothing drying control method from Embodiment 1 can be executed through the electronic device from Embodiment 2. Since the clothing processing device can directly execute the clothing drying control method in Embodiment 1 or is equipped with the electronic device from Embodiment 2, it possesses all the beneficial effects of the clothing drying control method in Embodiment 1 or the electronic device from Embodiment 2, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0234] In summary, the ingenious design of the washing process switching method lies in:

[0235] First, this washing process switching method optimizes the program adjustment mechanism of the garment processing equipment during mode switching. By dynamically comparing the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program with those of the target garment processing program (including water temperature, detergent dosage, number of rinses, etc.) at the mode switching point, the degree of difference between the two is determined. The control board automatically adjusts the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program based on the running time of the garment processing equipment and the degree of difference between the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program and the parameter values ​​of the target garment processing program. This allows the control board to determine whether to reduce the parameter values ​​of the switched washing process before executing the target garment processing program based on the degree of difference between the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program and the parameter values ​​of the switched washing process, so that the washing process can be executed continuously and stably. This washing process switching method can not only improve the washing efficiency of clothes after switching washing processes, but also reduce the additional washing damage caused by repeated washing.

[0236] Secondly, by classifying the difference between the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program and the parameter values ​​of the switching washing process into low, medium, and high differences, the control board can determine whether to reduce the parameter values ​​of the switching washing process and the degree of reduction based on the determination of the difference before executing the target garment processing program, thereby further reducing the washing damage to the garments after switching washing processes.

[0237] Third, by comparing the parameter values ​​of the current garment processing program with the parameter values ​​of the switching washing process, as well as the running time of the current garment processing program with the preset running time of the switching washing process, the control motherboard can more quickly and directly correlate the obtained difference level X with three different schemes for directly executing the target garment processing program, and make corresponding preliminary adjustments to the parameter values ​​of the switched washing process according to the different difference levels under different comparison results.

[0238] Fourth, by setting corresponding reduction range values ​​based on medium and high differences, the control board can more accurately select the corresponding scheme from various schemes that directly execute the target clothing processing program, thereby improving the accuracy of the control board when executing the washing process switching method.

[0239] Fifth, by comparing the parameter values ​​of the current clothing processing program with the parameter values ​​of the switching washing process on the mainboard, the mainboard can select and execute the corresponding scheme based on the degree of difference between the two, and can also determine the specific degree of reduction of the parameter values ​​of the switched washing process based on the specific comparison results.

[0240] Sixth, by setting a supplementary adjustment stage in the washing process switching method, the control motherboard can reduce the parameter values ​​of the switched washing process and then make a final adjustment to the parameter values ​​of the switched washing process based on the degree of dirtiness of the current washing load. This can prioritize the washing effect of the clothes and reduce the damage to the clothes caused by repeated washing.

[0241] Seventh, by setting a first pre-processing stage in the washing process switching method, the control board determines whether to directly execute the entire process of switching the washing process before determining the degree of difference between the parameter values ​​of the current clothing processing program and the parameter values ​​of the switching washing process, based on the judgment result of the current washing time or the judgment result of whether the washing machine door has been opened. This can prioritize the washing effect of the clothes and reduce the damage to the clothes caused by repeated washing.
