[0045] The present application provides a control method for a washing machine, which may also be a washer-dryer, a shoe washing machine, or other washing equipment. Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a washing machine control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The washing machine control method of the present application includes the following steps S101 to S104:

[0046] Step S101: In response to a start instruction for a gentle wash program of a washing machine, obtaining a preset first eccentricity threshold;

[0047] It should be noted that the start instruction for the gentle wash cycle of the washing machine can be manually input by the user or automatically issued based on the pre-set start steps of the gentle wash cycle. The gentle wash cycle can be manually selected by the user or generated by the washing machine after intelligent load identification; for example, the washing machine obtains material information of the clothes through collecting clothing images, spectral analysis, radio frequency identification, or other technical means. If the analysis confirms that the clothes are made of delicate fabrics such as silk, wool, lace, or clothes with decorative items, the gentle wash cycle will be automatically selected.

[0048] The washing machine has a built-in preset program parameter library, which includes multiple wash programs and the corresponding parameter combinations for each wash program. For example, it includes a gentle wash program and its corresponding parameters such as tub speed / rotation direction, water temperature, wash / rinse / spin times, wash / rinse / spin duration, and eccentricity threshold. The washing machine controls each stage of the gentle wash program by invoking the corresponding parameter combination. The washing machine can retrieve the first eccentricity threshold mentioned above from the pre-stored program parameter library.

[0049] The washing machine usually needs to go through the steps of drainage, preliminary dehydration, balance detection and high-speed dehydration during the dehydration stage. During the drainage step, the variable frequency drain pump starts and discharges the washing water in the inner drum to the outside of the washing machine through the drain pipe. After the drainage is completed, the washing machine starts the preliminary dehydration, and the drive motor drives the drum to rotate at a lower speed, using centrifugal force to initially shake out the water in the clothes. After the preliminary dehydration is completed, the eccentricity value of the inner drum needs to be tested. If the eccentricity value is higher than the eccentricity threshold, the clothes need to be shaken out until the eccentricity value of the inner drum is lower than the eccentricity threshold. The washing machine then enters the high-speed dehydration step. During the high-speed dehydration step, the drive motor will drive the inner drum to rotate at an accelerated speed until it reaches the preset maximum speed. The centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation further shakes out the water in the clothes.

[0050] It should be noted that the first eccentricity threshold is an initial value pre-stored when the washing machine leaves the factory or before an upgrade. That is, before the first eccentricity threshold is adjusted, the washing machine, during the dehydration phase of a gentle wash cycle, uses the first eccentricity threshold as a reference threshold to determine whether to control the washing machine to loosen the clothes or to control the inner drum to spin at high speed to dehydrate the clothes.

[0051] Step S102: adjusting the first eccentricity threshold to obtain a second eccentricity threshold, where the second eccentricity threshold is greater than the first eccentricity threshold;

[0052] It is understandable that when the washing machine shakes the clothes, it will cause the clothes to be thrown and worn. When the eccentricity threshold is small, the washing machine may need to shake the clothes multiple times before the actual eccentricity of the inner drum can be reduced to below the eccentricity threshold. In this way, the clothes will be thrown and worn multiple times during the multiple shaking and adjustment process, which can easily cause damage to the clothes. If the eccentricity threshold is adjusted to a larger value, the actual eccentricity of the washing machine will be more likely to reach the condition below the eccentricity threshold. In actual application, the number of times the clothes are shaken and adjusted can be reduced, making it easier for the washing machine to enter the high-speed dehydration step.

[0053] Optionally, each time the washing machine executes a gentle wash program, it first retrieves the first eccentricity threshold, adjusts the first eccentricity threshold to obtain a second eccentricity threshold, and then determines based on the second eccentricity threshold whether to control the washing machine to shake out the clothes, or to control the inner drum to rotate at high speed to dehydrate the clothes. In a parallel embodiment, after adjusting the first eccentricity threshold to obtain the second eccentricity threshold, the washing machine stores the second eccentricity threshold internally, and directly retrieves the second eccentricity threshold in this and each subsequent gentle wash program, and determines based on the second eccentricity threshold whether to control the washing machine to shake out the clothes, or to control the inner drum to rotate at high speed to dehydrate the clothes.

[0054] Step S103: In response to a dehydration instruction of a gentle wash program of the washing machine, obtaining a first eccentricity value of the washing machine;

[0055] The dehydration command is, for example, automatically issued based on a pre-set dehydration step in a gentle wash cycle. The washing machine may be equipped with an amplitude detection device that detects the centrifugal force during the rotation of the inner tub to calculate the first eccentricity value. The eccentricity detection device may include, for example, a spring-loaded force sensor, a mechanical vibration sensor, or other sensing device. The washing machine may also be equipped with a gravity detection module that calculates the first eccentricity value by acquiring three-dimensional weight distribution data of the laundry in the inner tub. The gravity detection module may include multiple high-precision pressure sensors disposed on the tub surface.

[0056] Step S104: If the first eccentricity value is greater than the second eccentricity threshold, the clothes are shaken out; otherwise, the speed of the inner drum of the washing machine is controlled to increase to a preset maximum speed to dehydrate the clothes.

[0057] It should be noted that if the first eccentricity value is greater than the second eccentricity threshold, the inner drum is currently severely eccentric. Forcibly increasing the inner drum speed to the preset maximum speed can easily cause excessive vibration and noise, potentially even damaging the washing machine. Shaking the clothes loose can adjust their position and reduce the eccentricity value. If the first eccentricity value is less than or equal to the second eccentricity threshold, the inner drum is not severely eccentric. The inner drum can be increased to the preset maximum speed for high-speed spin drying. Compared to starting high-speed spin drying after the first eccentricity value drops to the first eccentricity threshold, starting high-speed spin drying when the first eccentricity value drops to the second eccentricity threshold may result in greater vibration and noise, but it effectively reduces the amount of shaking and tumbling of clothes, preventing excessive wear and tear, and meeting user requirements for gentle washing. The preset maximum speed can be the preset maximum spin speed for the gentle wash program retrieved from the washing machine's pre-stored program parameter library.

[0058] The control method of the washing machine provided in the embodiment of the present application increases the eccentricity threshold in the gentle wash program, and determines based on the adjusted eccentricity threshold whether to control the washing machine to shake the clothes, or to control the high-speed rotation of the inner drum to dehydrate the clothes. This can make it easier for the washing machine to enter the high-speed dehydration step during the dehydration stage, reduce the number of times the clothes are shaken and dropped, and thus avoid damage to the clothes. This meets the user's demand for gentle washing of clothes and brings a better user experience to the user.

[0059] Optionally, the washing machine loosens the clothes by controlling the inner drum of the washing machine to intermittently rotate in a first direction. Thus, controlling the inner drum to rotate in only one direction to loosen the clothes can reduce the tumbling of the clothes, and reduce friction between the clothes and between the clothes and the drum, thereby reducing wear on the clothes, and meeting the user's demand for gentle washing of clothes.

[0060] In some embodiments, controlling the inner drum speed to increase to a preset maximum speed includes:

[0061] Control the speed of the inner barrel and monitor the speed of the inner barrel;

[0062] After the rotation speed of the inner tub reaches a first preset rotation speed, monitoring the eccentricity value of the washing machine;

[0063] If the eccentricity value of the washing machine is greater than a preset third eccentricity threshold, the speed of the inner tub is controlled to decrease;

[0064] If the eccentricity value of the washing machine is less than or equal to the third eccentricity threshold, the inner tub is controlled to rotate at an increased speed until the speed reaches a preset maximum speed.

[0065] During the process of the washing machine speeding up to the preset maximum speed, when the second eccentricity value is greater than the preset third eccentricity threshold, it means that the current eccentricity value of the washing machine is too large, and some clothes may be damaged due to the greater pressure. By temporarily reducing the speed of the inner barrel, the squeezing force on the clothes can be reduced to avoid damage to the clothes. Among them, the first preset speed is, for example, 400 rpm. The third eccentricity threshold can be greater than the second eccentricity threshold. The specific speed reduction strategy for the inner barrel can be determined by the designer according to the actual situation, and the dehydration effect of the clothes needs to be guaranteed. For example, when the speed of the inner barrel is 600 rpm, if it is detected that the second eccentricity value is greater than the preset third eccentricity threshold, the speed of the inner barrel is reduced by a preset value, such as 100 rpm, that is, reduced to 500 rpm.

[0066] In some embodiments, after the inner tub speed increases to a preset maximum speed, the duration that the inner tub maintains the preset maximum speed can be reduced to reduce damage to clothing during the dehydration process. For example, the duration that the inner tub maintains the preset maximum speed is adjusted from a first preset duration to a second preset duration, where the second preset duration is less than the first preset duration. For example, if the initial parameters set the duration for the inner tub to maintain the preset maximum speed to be 30 seconds, the duration is adjusted to 10 seconds.

[0067] Optionally, controlling the speed of the inner tub to increase to a preset maximum speed includes controlling the inner tub to increase its speed at a first preset acceleration until the inner tub speed reaches the preset maximum speed. In this manner, the inner tub is controlled to maintain a constant acceleration during the acceleration process, directly increasing from an initial speed to the maximum speed, eliminating the step of maintaining the inner tub at a speed less than the preset maximum speed, thereby reducing the spin time.

[0068] In some embodiments, the control method of the washing machine of the present application further includes:

[0069] In response to a start instruction for a gentle wash program of the washing machine, obtaining a preset first rinsing water level;

[0070] Adjusting the first rinsing water level to obtain a second rinsing water level, the second rinsing water level being greater than the first rinsing water level;

[0071] In response to a rinsing instruction for a gentle wash program of the washing machine, the washing machine is controlled to allow water to flow in until the water level reaches a second rinsing water level.

[0072] It should be noted that the first rinse water level is the initial value pre-set when the washing machine leaves the factory or before an upgrade. That is, before the first rinse water level is adjusted, during the rinsing phase of the gentle wash cycle, the washing machine will rinse clothes after the water level reaches the first rinse water level.

[0073] As is understandable, excessive friction between clothes can cause wear and tear. When the water level in the inner tub is low, the density of the clothes in the water is high, and the washing machine's rinsing operation causes frequent friction and beating of the clothes, resulting in damage. Adjusting the rinsing water level to a higher second rinse level reduces the water level in the inner tub and the density of the clothes, reducing friction and beating of the clothes during the rinsing operation and thus preventing wear and tear on the clothes.

[0074] Optionally, each time the washing machine executes a gentle wash cycle, it first calls the first rinse water level, adjusts the first rinse water level to obtain a second rinse water level, and then controls the washing machine to allow water to flow in until the water level reaches the second rinse water level before rinsing the clothes. In a parallel embodiment, after adjusting the first rinse water level to obtain the second rinse water level, the washing machine stores the second rinse water level internally, and in this and each subsequent gentle wash cycle, directly calls the second eccentricity threshold value to control the washing machine to allow water to flow in until the water level reaches the second rinse water level before rinsing the clothes.

[0075] In order to reduce the dropping of clothes, optionally, during the rinsing stage in the gentle wash program, the washing machine cancels the shaking operation of the clothes to avoid damage to the clothes.

[0076] In some embodiments, the control method further includes:

[0077] During the washing phase of the gentle wash program, controlling the water supply to the washing machine until the water level reaches a first target water level;

[0078] The inner tub is controlled to rotate alternately at a second preset rotation speed and a third preset rotation speed to perform variable speed washing on the clothes.

[0079] During the washing phase, by controlling the speed of the inner tub to continuously change, clothes can be effectively prevented from becoming tangled, thereby improving the washing effect. For example, the variable speed wash step lasts for a preset duration, such as 10 minutes, and the washing machine cycles through ten variable speed cycles within the preset duration. In each variable speed cycle, the washing machine controls the inner tub to rotate at a second preset speed, such as 45 rpm, for 5 seconds, then at a third preset speed, such as 40 rpm, for 5 seconds, and then rest for 50 seconds.

[0080] In some embodiments, the washing machine further comprises a spray device for extracting washing water from the washing machine and spraying the washing water toward the inner wall of the inner tub. To improve the washing effect and reduce damage to the clothes during washing, after the variable speed washing of the clothes is completed, the control method further comprises:

[0081] controlling the inner tub to rotate at a fourth preset speed until the clothes rest against the inner wall of the inner tub;

[0082] Control the spray device to open to spray wash the clothes.

[0083] The fourth preset speed can be determined by the designer using centrifugal force calculations. For example, the fourth preset speed is 77 rpm. This method of placing clothing close to the inner tub and then showering eliminates the risk of tumbling and meets user demands for gentle washing. Preferably, the washing machine keeps the spray device fully active during the gentle wash cycle to improve cleaning performance.

[0084] In some embodiments, the washing machine further comprises a heating device for heating the washing water. In order to improve the washing effect of the clothes, before controlling the inner tub to rotate until the clothes abut against the inner wall of the inner tub, the control method further comprises:

[0085] Control the heating device to start and detect the temperature of the washing water in the washing machine;

[0086] If the water temperature reaches the target temperature, the heating device is controlled to be turned off.

[0087] In this way, by controlling the washing temperature, the washing effect can be improved and damage and discoloration of clothes can be reduced. Optionally, the washing machine is provided with a temperature detection module for detecting the temperature of the washing water. The temperature detection module includes at least two temperature sensors to detect the water temperature at multiple locations in the washing machine to ensure accurate detection of the water temperature of the washing water. The target temperature can be a preset value such as 40°C, or it can be determined by the washing machine based on the identified clothing material. When the heating device is turned on, the washing machine can control the drive motor of the inner drum to stop running.

[0088] Before heating the washing water, the washing machine needs to perform a water intake operation. The washing machine can determine the amount of washing water intake based on the weighing result of the clothes. Preferably, the washing machine uses a brushless DC motor and intelligently obtains the weight of the clothes through fuzzy weighing.

[0089] The control method of the washing machine provided in the embodiment of the present application increases the eccentricity threshold in the gentle wash program, and determines based on the adjusted eccentricity threshold whether to control the washing machine to shake the clothes, or to control the high-speed rotation of the inner drum to dehydrate the clothes. This can make it easier for the washing machine to enter the high-speed dehydration step during the dehydration stage, reduce the number of times the clothes are shaken and dropped, and thus avoid excessive wear and tear on the clothes, meet the user's demand for gentle washing of clothes, and bring a better user experience to the user.

[0090] The present application also provides a control device for a washing machine. For example, see Figure 2 , Figure 2 The control device 200 of the washing machine includes an acquisition module 210 , an adjustment module 220 , and a control module 230 .

[0091] Among them, the acquisition module 210 is used to respond to the start instruction of the gentle wash program of the washing machine to obtain a preset first eccentricity threshold, and is used to respond to the dehydration instruction of the gentle wash program of the washing machine to obtain the first eccentricity value of the washing machine; the adjustment module 220 is used to adjust the first eccentricity threshold to obtain a second eccentricity threshold, and the second eccentricity threshold is greater than the first eccentricity threshold; the control module 230 is used to shake the clothes if the first eccentricity value is greater than the second eccentricity threshold, otherwise control the inner barrel speed of the washing machine to increase to the preset maximum speed to dehydrate the clothes.

[0092] The control device of the washing machine provided in the embodiment of the present application increases the eccentricity threshold in the gentle wash program, and determines based on the adjusted eccentricity threshold whether to control the washing machine to shake the clothes, or to control the high-speed rotation of the inner drum to dehydrate the clothes. This can make it easier for the washing machine to enter the high-speed dehydration step during the dehydration stage, reduce the number of times the clothes are shaken and dropped, and thus avoid excessive wear and tear on the clothes, meet the user's demand for gentle washing of clothes, and bring a better user experience to the user.
