DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] It should be understood that the "plurality" mentioned herein refers to two or more. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B; "and / or" in this article is merely a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in order to facilitate a clear description of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, in the embodiments of the present application, words such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish between identical or similar items with substantially the same functions and effects. Those skilled in the art will understand that words such as "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity and execution order, and words such as "first" and "second" do not necessarily limit them to be different.

[0024] In addition, the terms "comprises" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or apparatus that includes a series of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, product or apparatus.

[0025] As mentioned in the background technology, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards and the level of economic and social development, the popularity of washing machines as essential household appliances has increased year by year. During the use of washing machines, the supporting structures (such as shock-absorbing springs and dampers) will age after long-term operation, resulting in a decrease in the ability to resist eccentricity. When washing a large amount of clothes, if the clothes are concentrated on one side, it is easy to cause an imbalance of centrifugal force, which can cause violent collision with the drum, deviation, and even damage to the inner drum and outer shell. The washing machines currently on the market usually rely on a passive trigger mechanism caused by excessive vibration to stop washing. This method lacks the ability to predict the "drum collision risk" caused by structural aging in advance.

[0026] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for predicting the structural aging of a washing machine. By combining the posture sensor with the structural aging prediction model analysis, it is possible to predict the structural aging phenomenon of the washing machine in advance, and actively slow down the operation when potential risks are detected, while reminding the user to perform maintenance. Figure 1 The flowchart of the method for predicting the structural aging of a washing machine is shown, and the method includes the following processing procedures.

[0027] S101: Acquire the eccentricity value, load weight value, vibration characteristic information and rotation state information of the washing machine during operation.

[0028] In specific implementation, when the washing machine is operating normally, the eccentricity value, load weight value, vibration characteristic information and rotation state information are obtained, wherein the vibration characteristic information is used to characterize the mechanical swing intensity and eccentric position of the washing tub under high-speed operation, and the rotation state characteristic parameter value is used to characterize the rotation rate stability of the washing tub under high-speed operation.

[0029] In one possible implementation, the eccentricity value and the weight of the load in the washing tub are obtained during the low-speed phase of the washing machine, and the vibration characteristic information and rotation state information are obtained during the high-speed phase of the washing machine. The speed range of the washing tub during low-speed operation is 0-800 rpm, and the speed range of the washing tub during high-speed operation is greater than or equal to 800 rpm. Of course, the above speed ranges can also be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0030] In another embodiment, the eccentricity value of the washing tub and the weight of the load in the washing tub are acquired in the eccentricity detection stage, and the vibration characteristic information and the rotation state information are acquired in the dehydration stage.

[0031] In specific implementation, when the washing machine reaches the eccentricity detection stage, the eccentricity value of the washing tub and the load weight in the washing tub are recorded. The load refers to the objects to be washed in the washing tub. Since the load weight and the eccentricity value are used as input data in subsequent calculations, it is not limited here whether the load weight includes the weight of the water in the washing tub.

[0032] It should be noted that the washing process of the washing machine may include more than one eccentricity detection stage. You can choose any load weight and eccentricity value for subsequent calculation. Preferably, choose the value of the eccentricity detection stage closest to the washing stage. In specific implementation, a three-axis acceleration sensor is set on the top of the washing tub, and its installation position is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the washing tub refers to the inner drum in the image. The location of these sensors is based on their ability to accurately capture the vibration and rotational state changes of the inner drum during operation. The sampling frequency of the triaxial accelerometer can be set to 1kHz to ensure the accuracy of high-frequency data acquisition. It can obtain the vibration acceleration of the washing tub in the X, Y, and Z axes during the spin cycle. This vibration acceleration is the posture data. The posture data can be used to determine the peak amplitude values, vibration amplitude deviation values, and angular velocity fluctuation rates in the X-axis and Y-axis directions. The peak amplitude values ​​and vibration amplitude deviation values ​​are the vibration characteristic information, and the angular velocity fluctuation rate is the rotation state information.

[0033] In one possible implementation, the peak amplitude value is defined as half of the difference between the maximum and minimum accelerations in the X-axis and Y-axis directions, and the vibration amplitude deviation value is defined as the standard deviation of the vibration acceleration.

[0034] Vibration acceleration and angular velocity can be obtained through the three-axis accelerometer. The obtained vibration acceleration format is (ax,ay,az), the angular velocity is (rx,ry,rz), ​​the peak amplitude value is V, the vibration amplitude deviation value is D, and the angular velocity fluctuation rate is dω / dt.

[0035] S102: The eccentricity value, the load weight value, the vibration characteristic information, and the rotation state information are used as model input information and input into a washing machine structural aging prediction model to obtain a structural health status score.

[0036] In practice, the eccentricity, load weight, vibration characteristics, and rotational state information can be directly used as model inputs. Alternatively, dynamic characteristic parameters can be generated using the load weight, eccentricity, peak amplitude, vibration amplitude deviation, and angular velocity fluctuation. These dynamic characteristic parameters, or input information, are a set of five-dimensional vectors corresponding to the peak amplitude V, vibration amplitude deviation D, angular velocity fluctuation dω / dt, load weight W, and eccentricity B.

[0037] Then the dynamic characteristic parameters are input into the pre-trained structural aging prediction model, and the structural health status score of the model output is obtained. The structure of the structural aging prediction model is as follows: Figure 3As shown, it contains an input layer, a hidden layer and an output layer of five neurons, where the five neurons correspond to the load weight, eccentricity value, peak amplitude value, vibration amplitude deviation value and angular velocity fluctuation rate respectively; the hidden layer includes the hidden layer of the first hidden layer and the second hidden layer; the output layer is a single neuron structure, which is used to output the structural health status score, and each neuron is fully connected to the neurons in the next layer.

[0038] In one possible implementation, the first hidden layer includes 32 neurons and the second hidden layer includes 16 neurons. In another possible implementation, the first hidden layer includes 64 neurons and the second hidden layer includes 32 neurons.

[0039] When training the structural aging prediction model, the training can be performed in the following manner: first, the target input information including the target structural health status score as a label is obtained, and then the input information is input into the initialized structural aging prediction model, and the target structural health status score is compared with the output data corresponding to the structural aging prediction model. Finally, the initialized structural aging prediction model is trained based on the difference between the target structural health status score and the output data corresponding to the structural aging prediction model to obtain the structural aging prediction model. For the difference-based model training, a loss function can be used for training. The loss function can be selected as the mean square error function, and the model parameters are optimized through the back propagation algorithm. Specifically, the expression of the loss function is as follows: ; Where N is the number of samples, C is the number of categories, Label, is the predicted probability.

[0040] To accommodate the impact of varying installation environments and individual manufacturing differences on washing machine performance, and to facilitate model training, the model can be trained on a personal computer. The trained structural aging prediction model is then placed in the washing machine to output a structural health score. Given the potential for subtle differences in individual user environments, this method also proposes an online fine-tuning method based on early user usage data to further improve the accuracy and personalized adaptability of aging detection. Specifically, when the washing machine's wash cycle is less than a preset wash cycle threshold, the structural aging prediction model is corrected based on the structural health score. Specifically, if the structural health score output by the structural aging prediction model indicates an aging risk when the washing machine's wash cycle is less than a preset wash cycle threshold, for example, if the output health score is less than 0.6, the structural health score is marked as a false positive. The structural aging prediction model is then corrected based on these false positives, gradually adjusting the judgment boundary of the structural aging prediction model. The wash cycle threshold can be customized; in this disclosed embodiment, 100 wash cycles are used as an example. Within the first 100 wash cycles, if the model predicts an aging risk but the actual device is normal, the prediction is marked as a false positive. Based on false positive samples, the model parameters are adjusted through the back-propagation algorithm, gradually correcting the model's judgment boundary. When the cumulative number of washes reaches 100, the model parameters are frozen and enter inference mode, which is only used for health status prediction.

[0041] When the structural health score exceeds a preset threshold for three consecutive dehydration stages, for example, 0.9, the washing machine's support structure is judged to be at risk of aging. At this point, the washing machine's display will display a "support structure aging risk" prompt to alert the user to potential risks. At the same time, the operating parameters of the dehydration stage are automatically adjusted, the speed is reduced by one gear, and the maximum acceleration setting is reduced to reduce the impact load on the support structure. In addition, an equipment status report can be sent to the after-sales service system to prompt the arrangement of professional maintenance. The remote communication module is connected to the after-sales service system via a wireless network. The equipment status report includes the structural health score, aging trend curve, and historical data comparison results.

[0042] To further enhance the refined management of equipment maintenance, an equipment aging trend curve can be generated based on the structural health score. This aging trend curve plots the structural health score for each wash cycle as a time series, visually demonstrating the equipment's aging process. Comparing the aging trend curve with historical data can predict future aging rates. For example, for equipment with a faster aging rate, users are advised to increase maintenance frequency or replace key components; for equipment with a slower aging rate, maintenance intervals can be appropriately extended. This process enables personalized management of equipment maintenance through a data-driven approach, significantly extending the equipment's service life.

[0043] In this embodiment, the method for predicting washing machine structural aging provided by the present invention first obtains the eccentricity value of the washing tub and the load weight of the load in the washing tub during the eccentricity detection phase. Then, the posture data of the washing machine during operation is obtained, and vibration characteristic information and rotation state information are extracted based on the posture data. Dynamic characteristic parameters for the current operation cycle are then generated based on the vibration characteristics, rotation state information, eccentricity value, and load weight. Finally, the dynamic characteristic parameters are input into a pre-trained structural aging prediction model to output a structural health status score. This process, through multi-dimensional data collection and intelligent analysis, enables early warning and proactive intervention of washing machine structural aging, effectively reducing the risk of tub collision caused by aging. Furthermore, based on the structural health status score, timely maintenance prompts can be provided to users in the future.
