[0001] The present application relates to the field of smart electrical appliances, and specifically relates to a self-cleaning control method, device, equipment and medium. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the smart laundry industry, clothing laundry equipment is becoming increasingly popular. These equipment typically contains an inner drum for holding laundry.

[0033] The locking state of the washing and care equipment is released, and the execution of the historical self-cleaning program at the target time is canceled.

[0034] In a possible implementation, the method further includes:

These drawings and the textual description are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of the present application to those skilled in the art by reference to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0055] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application more clear, the technical solutions in this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can, for example, be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0057] In the embodiments of this application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described in this application as "exemplary" or "for example" should not be construed as being preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0058] With the development of science and technology and the improvement of people's quality of life, people are using clothing washing equipment more and more frequently. Users only need to put the clothes to be washed into the inner drum of the washing equipment and start the washing program suitable for the clothes to control the washing equipment to perform the corresponding washing operation.

[0059] When users are away from home for a long time, they usually turn off the power to their homes for safety reasons. However, the residual clothing lint in the laundry equipment will breed a large number of bacteria and mold in the damp inner drum. If the inner drum is not cleaned in time, it will not only cause secondary contamination of the clothes, but also affect the user's laundry process.

[0060] Therefore, this application proposes a method for controlling the self-cleaning program of a clothing washing and care device. The method mainly calculates the power-off duration of the washing and care device based on the power-off time and power-on time before and after a power outage of the washing and care device, which can reflect the approximate length of time the user is away from home. When the power-off duration exceeds a preset threshold, a self-cleaning program suitable for the current state of the washing and care device is determined based on the power-off duration and the preset threshold. When the washing and care device meets the requirements for running the self-cleaning program, the self-cleaning program is pushed to the user terminal so that the user terminal knows that the current washing and care device should perform self-cleaning and reasonably arrange the clothing washing and care time. After the user terminal confirms, the washing and care device can perform self-cleaning according to the self-cleaning program.

[0061] The following combination Figure 1 , describe the application scenarios of this application.

[0062] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an application scenario provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the scene includes a washing device 101 and a user terminal 102 .

[0063] The laundry equipment 101 is a device that can be used to wash and care for clothes. For example, a washing machine is one type of laundry equipment 101. The laundry equipment 101 records the power-off time and the power-on time. When the power-off duration (the time period between the power-off time and the power-on time before and after a power-off) exceeds a preset threshold, the self-cleaning program is automatically determined and pushed to the user terminal 102 when the current device status meets the operating conditions. The user terminal 102 can then confirm whether to execute the self-cleaning program based on the user terminal 102's wishes.

[0064] The user terminal 102 can receive the self-cleaning program sent by the washing and care device 101, and select whether to run the self-cleaning program, and then send the selection result to the washing and care device 101.

[0065] Based on the mutual cooperation between the above-mentioned devices, not only can the user's away time be roughly estimated based on the power on and off time of the washing and care equipment, but also the need to confirm whether the self-cleaning program needs to be executed based on the power off time.

[0066] The following specific embodiments are used to describe in detail the technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above technical problems. The following specific embodiments can be implemented independently or in combination with each other. For the same or similar concepts or processes, some embodiments may not be described in detail.

[0067] Figure 2 A process of a self-cleaning control method provided in an embodiment of the present application Figure 1 .like Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0068] S201. After the washing and care equipment is powered on, obtain the power-on time, obtain the power-off time when the washing and care equipment was last powered off, and determine the power-off duration based on the power-off time and the power-on time.

[0069] In the above scheme, the power-off time and power-on time before and after the washing and care equipment is powered off will form a period of time. This period of time is the power-off duration of the washing and care equipment, which can reflect the length of time the user is away from home to a certain extent.

[0070] S202: If the power-off duration is greater than or equal to the first preset duration, determine a self-cleaning program according to the power-off duration and the first preset duration.

[0071] In this step, if the power outage duration exceeds the preset threshold, it means that the user has been away from home for a long time and the washing equipment has not been used for a long time. In order to avoid the bacteria growing in the washing equipment from contaminating the clothes to be washed, the washing equipment needs to be cleaned. The equipment can complete autonomous cleaning according to the self-cleaning program. The specific determination process of the self-cleaning program is shown in the subsequent embodiments and will not be elaborated in this embodiment.

[0072] S203: When it is detected that the inner drum of the washing and care device does not contain clothes and the door is closed, a first prompt message is pushed to the user terminal, where the first prompt message is used to prompt a self-cleaning program to be executed.

[0073] In the above scheme, if it is detected that the current state of the washing and care equipment meets the operating conditions of the self-cleaning program, the first prompt information containing the self-cleaning program can be pushed to the user terminal so that the user can confirm whether to execute the self-cleaning program and reasonably arrange the subsequent clothing washing and care time.

[0074] During the specific implementation process, in order to avoid delaying the user's subsequent normal clothing washing and care due to the failure to detect that the washing and care device meets the operating conditions of the self-cleaning program for a long time, for example, if it is still not detected that the inner drum of the washing and care device does not contain clothes and / or the machine door is closed within the second preset time, a fourth prompt message is pushed to the user terminal. The fourth prompt message is used to prompt the user to take out the clothes in the inner drum and / or close the machine door. The second preset time is less than the first preset time.

[0075] S204: In response to the user terminal confirming the first prompt information, control the washing and care equipment to execute a self-cleaning program.

[0076] In the above solution, after the user terminal confirms the execution of the self-cleaning program, the washing and care equipment can perform self-cleaning according to the confirmed self-cleaning program.

[0077] S205: If the power outage duration is less than the first preset duration, push reservation information to the user terminal, and the reservation information is used to obtain the next scheduled time for the user terminal to wash clothes.

[0078] In this step, if the power outage duration does not exceed the preset threshold, it means that the user has been away from home for a short time and the washing equipment has not been used for a relatively short time, so there is no need to clean the equipment temporarily. Considering that the user may not use the washing equipment within a short period of time after returning home, in this case, there is still a risk that the washing equipment will not be used for a long time. Therefore, the time when the user will use the washing equipment can be confirmed with the user, and then it can be determined whether the washing equipment meets the judgment condition of long-term non-use during the period from the power outage time to the user's scheduled washing time. Of course, in order to more accurately determine the time period when the washing equipment has not been used, it is also possible to determine whether the equipment has not been used for a long time based on the period from the last time the clothes were washed to the user's scheduled time.

[0079] S206: Receive the scheduled time sent by the user terminal, and determine the standby time based on the power-off time and the scheduled time.

[0080] S207: Determine whether the standby time is greater than or equal to a first preset time.

[0081] In the above scheme, based on the appointment time sent by the user terminal and the power-off time recorded by the washing and care equipment, the length of time from the user leaving home to the user using the equipment can be determined, and then it can be determined whether the washing and care equipment meets the condition of long-term non-use within this time length, that is, whether the standby time exceeds the preset threshold.

[0082] S208. If yes, obtain the historical self-cleaning program last executed by the washing and care equipment and the historical cleaning time corresponding to the historical self-cleaning program, and control the washing and care equipment to execute the historical self-cleaning program at the target time. The target time is determined according to the appointment time and the historical cleaning time.

[0083] In this step, if the standby time exceeds a preset threshold, the washing machine is deemed to have been unused for an extended period of time from the time the user left home to the time the user used the machine, and the machine needs to self-clean before the user begins washing clothes. To reduce the data calculation and processing intensity of the washing machine, a historical self-cleaning program can be used to schedule a reservation. The specific time for self-cleaning can be determined based on the scheduled time and historical cleaning time. Self-cleaning can be completed exactly at the scheduled time, or a certain buffer time can be left for the washing machine after self-cleaning is completed.

[0084] To prevent users from accidentally touching the washing and care equipment, the washing and care equipment can be locked. For example, after receiving the scheduled time sent by the user terminal, the washing and care equipment is controlled to enter a locked state. Of course, the user may suddenly wash clothes ahead of schedule. To avoid confusion in the washing and care equipment program, the automatically scheduled self-cleaning program can be canceled. For example, before the scheduled time arrives, if an unlock request is received from the user terminal, the lock state of the washing and care equipment is unlocked and the execution of the historical self-cleaning program at the target time is canceled.

[0085] S209: If not, output a third prompt message at the scheduled time, the third prompt message being used to prompt the user terminal to wash and care for the clothes.

[0086] In the above scheme, if the standby time does not exceed the preset threshold, it is considered that the washing and care equipment does not meet the condition of long-term non-use from the time the user leaves home to the time the user uses the equipment. The equipment does not need to self-clean, and can remind the user to wash clothes when the scheduled time arrives.

[0087] In an embodiment of the present application, the power outage duration, that is, the approximate duration of the user away from home, is calculated by the power on and off times of the washing and care equipment, and when the power off duration exceeds a preset threshold, a suitable self-cleaning program is automatically selected for the user. When the washing and care equipment meets the operating conditions, the self-cleaning program is pushed to the user terminal so that the washing and care equipment can determine whether to execute the self-cleaning program according to the wishes of the user terminal; when the power off duration does not exceed the preset threshold, it can be determined based on the power off time and the washing and care time scheduled by the user whether the washing and care equipment meets the self-cleaning conditions from the time the user leaves home to the time the equipment is used.

[0088] The following combination Figure 3 The specific embodiments illustrate the implementation process of determining the self-cleaning program according to the power-off duration and the first preset duration in the self-cleaning control method of the present application.

[0089] Figure 3 A process of a self-cleaning control method provided in an embodiment of the present application Figure 2 .like Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0090] S301: Obtain a ratio of a power-off duration to a first preset duration.

[0091] In this step, after calculating the power-off duration based on the power-off time and the power-on time and determining that the power-off duration exceeds the first preset duration, the ratio of the two can be calculated, and the ratio of the two can be used as a selection condition to select a suitable self-cleaning program.

[0092] S302. According to the time ratio and the preset relationship, obtain multiple candidate self-cleaning programs corresponding to the time ratio and multiple candidate cleaning times corresponding to each candidate self-cleaning program, wherein the preset relationship is the correspondence between the time ratio, the self-cleaning program and the cleaning time. The larger the time ratio, the stronger the cleaning power of the self-cleaning program.

[0093] In the above scheme, the larger the time ratio, the longer the washing equipment has not been used, and the greater the cleaning intensity required. However, the same time ratio may correspond to multiple self-cleaning programs with the same cleaning intensity. Since the operating parameters of the self-cleaning programs are uneven, it is necessary to further determine which self-cleaning program to use based on the working time of the self-cleaning program. Of course, other operating parameters can also be used.

[0094] S303: If the duration ratio is less than a first threshold, the minimum cleaning duration among the multiple candidate cleaning durations is used as the cleaning duration, and the candidate self-cleaning program corresponding to the minimum cleaning duration is used as the self-cleaning program.

[0095] In this step, if the time ratio is less than the minimum threshold, it is considered that the time the washing and care equipment has not been used is relatively short, and the self-cleaning program with the shortest cleaning time can be selected from multiple self-cleaning programs with the same cleaning power.

[0096] S304. If the duration ratio is between the first threshold and the second threshold, the median cleaning duration among the multiple candidate cleaning durations is used as the cleaning duration, and the candidate self-cleaning program corresponding to the median cleaning duration is used as the self-cleaning program, wherein the second threshold is greater than the first threshold.

[0097] In the above scheme, if the time ratio is greater than the minimum threshold and less than the maximum threshold, it is considered that the time the washing equipment has not been used is at a medium level, and a self-cleaning program with a medium cleaning time can be selected from multiple self-cleaning programs with the same cleaning power.

[0098] S305: If the duration ratio is greater than a second threshold, the maximum cleaning duration among the multiple candidate cleaning durations is used as the cleaning duration, and the candidate self-cleaning program corresponding to the maximum cleaning duration is used as the self-cleaning program.

[0099] In this step, if the time ratio is greater than the maximum threshold, it is considered that the washing and care equipment has not been used for a relatively long time, and the self-cleaning program with the longest cleaning time can be selected from multiple self-cleaning programs with the same cleaning power.

[0100] In an embodiment of the present application, the self-cleaning program corresponding to the cleaning intensity is determined by the ratio of the power-off duration to the first preset duration and the preset relationship. If there are multiple self-cleaning programs, a certain operating parameter of the self-cleaning program is further used as a screening condition to select the most suitable self-cleaning program from multiple candidate self-cleaning programs with the same cleaning intensity.

[0101] The following combination Figure 4 The specific embodiments illustrate the implementation process of the self-cleaning control method of the present application, in response to the user terminal confirming the first prompt information, confirming the self-cleaning program to be executed based on the user terminal's willingness.

[0102] Figure 4 A process of a self-cleaning control method provided in an embodiment of the present application Figure 3 .like Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0103] S401. Push a second prompt message to the user terminal, where the second prompt message is used to prompt the cleaning time corresponding to the self-cleaning program.

[0104] In the above scheme, based on the above embodiment, this embodiment pushes the determined cleaning time corresponding to the self-cleaning program to the user terminal so that the user terminal knows the running time of the self-cleaning program and determines whether the cleaning time needs to be modified according to the subsequent clothing washing and care arrangements.

[0105] S402: Acquire processing operation information of the user terminal on the second prompt information, where the processing operation information includes confirmation and modification.

[0106] In this step, the user terminal can determine whether to modify the cleaning time based on subsequent clothing care arrangements or its own cleaning experience. At this time, the user terminal's processing operations will include confirmation and modification.

[0107] S403: If the operation information is confirmation, confirm to execute the self-cleaning program.

[0108] In the above solution, if the feedback received is that the user terminal does not want to modify the cleaning time, self-cleaning is performed directly according to the confirmed self-cleaning procedure.

[0109] S404: If the operation information is modification, obtain the modified cleaning time, and determine a new self-cleaning program based on the modified cleaning time and the preset relationship.

[0110] In this step, if the feedback received is the cleaning time that has been modified by the user terminal, a new self-cleaning program is determined based on the modified cleaning time. The candidate self-cleaning program corresponding to the cleaning time can be found based on the preset relationship. If there are multiple candidate self-cleaning programs, the final self-cleaning program can be further determined based on the original time ratio or other operating parameters of the self-cleaning program.

[0111] In an embodiment of the present application, after the user terminal confirms the self-cleaning program, the user terminal may not know the specific operating parameters of the self-cleaning program. At this time, certain operating parameters of the confirmed self-cleaning program can be pushed to the user terminal so that the user terminal can confirm whether to modify the operating parameters, and then obtain a new self-cleaning program that meets the user's expectations.

[0112] In summary, the self-cleaning control method provided in the embodiments of the present application calculates the power-off duration of the washing and care equipment through the power-off time and power-on time before and after a power outage of the washing and care equipment, which can reflect the approximate length of time the user is away from home. When the power-off duration exceeds the preset threshold, a self-cleaning program suitable for the current state of the washing and care equipment is determined based on the power-off duration and the preset threshold, and the self-cleaning program is pushed to the user terminal when the washing and care equipment meets the requirements for running the self-cleaning program. After the user terminal confirms, the washing and care equipment can perform self-cleaning according to the self-cleaning program; when the power-off duration does not exceed the preset threshold, it can be determined based on the time when the user terminal makes an appointment for clothing washing and care whether the time from the power-off time to the time when the user uses the equipment exceeds the preset threshold. If it exceeds, it is confirmed that the equipment still needs to be self-cleaned. If it does not exceed, it is confirmed that the equipment does not need to be self-cleaned.

[0113] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of a self-cleaning control device provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the self-cleaning control device may include various functional modules for implementing the aforementioned self-cleaning control method, and any functional module may be implemented in software and / or hardware.

[0114] For example, the self-cleaning control device may include: a first processing module 501, a second processing module 502, a third processing module 503 and a fourth processing module 504;

[0115] The first processing module 501 is used to obtain the power-on time and the power-off time of the washing and care equipment after the washing and care equipment is powered on, and determine the power-off duration based on the power-off time and the power-on time;

[0116] The second processing module 502 is configured to determine a self-cleaning procedure based on the power-off duration and the first preset duration if the power-off duration is greater than or equal to the first preset duration;
