[0048] First, those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely used to explain the technical principles of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Those skilled in the art may adjust them as needed to suit specific applications.
[0049] Secondly, it should be noted that in the description of the embodiments of the present application, terms such as "inside" and "outside" indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. This is only for the convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or component must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.
[0050] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise clearly specified or limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be internal communication between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0051] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. 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.
[0052] In the prior art, a camera installed above the washing machine drum collects images of the drum and analyzes the images to determine whether there is foam in the drum. During the washing process, the foam generated will cover the camera surface. If there is no foam during the rinsing stage, the washing machine will believe that there is foam in the inner drum because the collected image contains foam, resulting in misjudgment during the rinsing process, which in turn leads to inaccurate foam detection.
[0053] Based on the above problems, the technical concept of this application is: how to provide a new laundry processing method to accurately detect the foam in the inner drum of the washing machine.
[0054] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a laundry treatment method according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0055] Step S101: When it is determined that the operation stage of the washing machine is the drainage operation stage after rinsing or the drainage end stage after rinsing, the current data of the drainage pump, the water level frequency data and / or the water level height in the inner drum are obtained, and it is determined whether the current data of the drainage pump, the water level frequency data and / or the water level height in the inner drum meet the preset foam conditions to determine whether there is foam in the inner drum of the washing machine.
[0056] In this embodiment, after the washing machine finishes rinsing the clothes, the water generated by the rinsing will be discharged from the washing machine. The drainage stage is divided into a drainage operation stage after rinsing and a drainage end stage after rinsing.
[0057] In this embodiment, for example, when it is determined that the operating stage of the washing machine is the drainage operation stage after rinsing or the drainage end stage after rinsing, the current acquisition device is used to obtain the current data of the drainage pump, the water level frequency is obtained by the water level sensor and / or the water level height is obtained by the air pressure control system, and it is determined whether the current data of the drainage pump, the water level frequency data and / or the water level height in the inner drum meet the preset foam conditions to determine whether there is foam in the inner drum of the washing machine.
[0058] Step S102: When it is determined that foam exists in the inner drum of the washing machine, a defoaming process is performed.
[0059] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the operation stage of the washing machine is the drainage operation stage after rinsing or the drainage end stage after rinsing, the current data, water level frequency data and / or the water level height in the inner drum of the drain pump are obtained, and it is determined whether the current data, water level frequency data and / or the water level height in the inner drum of the drain pump meet the preset foam condition to determine whether there is foam in the inner drum of the washing machine; when it is determined that there is foam in the inner drum of the washing machine, defoaming processing is performed. Compared with the technical problem of inadequate foam elimination caused by false detection caused by judging whether there is foam in the inner drum based on the image of the inner drum of the washing machine in the prior art, the present application obtains the current data, water level frequency data and / or the water level height in the inner drum of the drain pump in the drainage operation stage after rinsing or the drainage end stage after rinsing, and performs defoaming processing when the current data, water level frequency data and / or the water level height in the inner drum of the drain pump meet the preset foam condition, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of foam detection in the inner drum of the washing machine and effectively eliminating foam.
[0060] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a second embodiment of a laundry treatment method provided in the present application. Based on the above embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, specifically, a specific implementation of step S101 is:
[0061] Step S201: when it is determined that the operation stage of the washing machine is the drainage operation stage after rinsing, current data of the drainage pump within a first preset time is obtained, and a maximum current value and a minimum current value are obtained from the current data of the drainage pump.
[0062] In this embodiment, for example, when it is determined that the operation stage of the washing machine is the drainage operation stage after rinsing, the current data of the drainage pump within 3 seconds is obtained, wherein the current data includes current values of multiple drainage pumps, and the maximum current value of 0.43 amperes and the minimum current value of 0.1 amperes are obtained from the current values of the multiple drainage pumps.
[0063] Step S202: Determine whether the difference between the maximum current value and the minimum current value is greater than a preset current threshold.
[0064] In this embodiment, during the operation of the drainage pump, if the drainage pump is draining, the current value of the drainage pump fluctuates slightly, and if the drainage pump is in an idling state, the current value of the drainage pump fluctuates greatly. Therefore, the degree of fluctuation of the current value is determined by comparing the difference between the maximum current value and the minimum current value with the preset current threshold value, that is, when the difference is greater than the preset current threshold value, the current fluctuation is large, and when the difference is less than the preset current threshold value, the current fluctuation is small.
[0065] In this embodiment, for example, the preset current threshold is 0.2 amperes, the maximum current value is 0.43 amperes, and the minimum current value is 0.1 amperes. The difference between the maximum current value and the minimum current value is 0.33 amperes.
[0066] A specific implementation of step S102 is:
[0067] Step S203: When it is determined that the difference is greater than the preset current threshold, performing a defoaming process.
[0068] In this embodiment, if the difference is greater than the preset current threshold, the water pump is idling due to the presence of foam, and foam must exist in the washing machine drum at this time.
[0069] In this embodiment, for example, the difference between the maximum current value and the minimum current value is 0.33 amperes, which is greater than the preset current threshold of 0.2 amperes.
[0070] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the operating stage of the washing machine is the drainage operation stage after rinsing, the current data of the drainage pump within a first preset time is obtained, and the maximum current value and the minimum current value are obtained from the current data of the drainage pump; it is determined whether the difference between the maximum current value and the minimum current value is greater than the preset current threshold; when it is determined that the difference is greater than the preset current threshold, defoaming processing is performed, thereby improving the accuracy of detecting foam in the inner drum of the washing machine and eliminating foam in the inner drum of the washing machine.
[0071] Figure 3 This is a flow chart of a third embodiment of a laundry treatment method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Based on the above embodiment, Figure 3 Specifically, another specific implementation of step S101 is:
[0072] Step S301: when it is determined that the operation phase of the washing machine is switched to the drainage end operation phase after rinsing, water level frequency data within a second preset time and / or the water level height in the inner drum are obtained.
[0073] Step S302: Determine whether the water level frequency values in the water level frequency data are the same, and / or whether the water level height is greater than a preset empty bucket water level.
[0074] In this embodiment, for example, when it is determined that the operation stage of the washing machine is the drainage end operation stage after rinsing, water level frequency data within 5 seconds is obtained, wherein the water level frequency data includes multiple water level frequency values, and the multiple water level frequency values are all 4045Hz, and / or the water level height is obtained to be 10 cm.
[0075] A specific implementation of step S102 is:
[0076] Step S303: When it is determined that the water level frequency values in the water level frequency data are the same, and / or the water level height is greater than the preset empty bucket water level, a defoaming process is performed.
[0077] In this embodiment, during the post-rinsing drain operation, if there is no foam in the washing machine drum, the water level frequency value continuously changes. If there is foam in the washing machine drum, the water level frequency value remains unchanged. Furthermore, during the post-rinsing drain operation, if the water level is greater than the preset empty drum water level, the water level value at that time is the height of the foam in the washing machine drum.
[0078] In this embodiment, the multiple water level frequency values are all 4045 Hz, and / or the water level height of 10 cm is greater than the empty bucket water level of 0 cm, and the defoaming process is performed.
[0079] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the operation stage of the washing machine is switched to the drainage end operation stage after rinsing, the water level frequency data within the second preset time and / or the water level height in the inner drum are obtained; it is judged whether the various water level frequency values in the water level frequency data are the same, and / or whether the water level height is greater than the preset empty drum water level; when it is determined that the various water level frequency values in the water level frequency data are the same, and / or the water level height is greater than the preset empty drum water level, defoaming processing is performed, thereby achieving the elimination of foam in the drum on the basis of improving the accuracy of foam detection in the inner drum of the washing machine.
[0080] Figure 4 This is a flow chart of a fourth embodiment of a laundry treatment method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Based on the above embodiment, Figure 4 Specifically, another specific implementation of step S101 is:
[0081] Step S401: when it is determined that the operation stage of the washing machine is the drainage operation stage after rinsing, current data of the drainage pump within a first preset time is obtained, and a maximum current value and a minimum current value are obtained from the current data of the drainage pump.
[0082] Step S402: When it is determined that the difference between the maximum current value and the minimum current value is greater than the preset current threshold, monitoring whether the operation phase of the washing machine is switched to the drainage end operation phase after rinsing.
[0083] Step S403: when the operation phase of the monitoring washing machine switches to the drainage end operation phase after rinsing, the water level frequency data within the second preset time and / or the water level height in the inner drum are obtained.
[0084] Step S404: Determine whether the water level frequency values in the water level frequency data are the same, and / or whether the water level height is greater than a preset empty bucket water level.
[0085] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the operating stage of the washing machine is the drainage operation stage after rinsing, the current data of the drainage pump within the first preset time is obtained, and when it is determined that the difference between the maximum current value and the minimum current value in the current data is greater than the preset current threshold, the water level frequency data within the second preset time collected in the drainage end operation stage and / or the water level height in the inner drum are further obtained, and it is determined whether the various water level frequency values in the water level frequency data are the same, and / or whether the water level height is greater than the preset empty barrel water level.
[0086] A specific implementation of step S102 is:
[0087] Step S405: When it is determined that the water level frequency values in the water level frequency data are the same, and / or the water level height is greater than the preset empty bucket water level, a defoaming process is performed.
[0088] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the operating stage of the washing machine is the drainage operating stage after rinsing, the current data of the drainage pump within the first preset time is obtained, and the maximum current value and the minimum current value are obtained from the current data of the drainage pump; when it is determined that the difference between the maximum current value and the minimum current value is greater than the preset current threshold, it is monitored whether the operating stage of the washing machine is switched to the drainage end operating stage after rinsing; when monitoring the operating stage of the washing machine to switch to the drainage end operating stage after rinsing, the water level frequency data within the second preset time and / or the water level height in the inner drum are obtained; it is judged whether the various water level frequency values in the water level frequency data are the same, and / or whether the water level height is greater than the preset empty barrel water level; when it is determined that the various water level frequency values in the water level frequency data are the same, and / or the water level height is greater than the preset empty barrel water level, defoaming processing is performed to further improve the accuracy of detecting foam in the inner drum, and defoaming processing is performed.
[0089] Figure 5 This is a flow chart of a fifth embodiment of a laundry treatment method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Based on the above embodiment, Figure 5 Specifically, after step S101, the method further includes:
[0090] Step S501: When it is determined that foam exists in the inner drum of the washing machine, it is determined whether a softener mode has been activated.
[0091] In this embodiment, when it is determined that foam exists in the inner drum of the washing machine, it is detected whether the softener mode is in the activated state.
[0092] Step S502: If it is determined that the softener mode is not activated, a reminder message is generated to remind the user to activate the softener mode for defoaming.
[0093] In this embodiment, for example, if it is determined that the softener mode is not activated, a text prompt message "Please activate the softener mode" is generated and sent to the user terminal APP to remind the user to manually activate the softener mode.
[0094] Step S503: When it is determined that the softener mode has been activated, the volume of the softener in the softener bin is obtained, and it is determined whether the volume of the softener is less than a preset volume.
[0095] In this embodiment, for example, after determining that the softener mode is started, the volume of the softener in the softener bin is obtained as 10 ml, and it is determined whether the volume of the softener is less than 50 ml.
[0096] Step S504: If it is determined that the volume of the softener is less than the preset volume, a reminder message is generated to remind the user to add softener to the softener bin.
[0097] In this embodiment, for example, if it is determined that the volume of the softener 10 ml is less than the preset volume 50 ml, a voice reminder message "Please add softener" is generated and played to remind the user to add softener to the softener bin.
[0098] In this embodiment, when it is determined that foam exists in the inner drum of the washing machine, it is determined whether the softener mode has been activated; if it is determined that the softener mode has not been activated, a reminder message is generated to remind the user to activate the softener mode for defoaming; when it is determined that the softener mode has been activated, the volume of the softener in the softener bin is obtained, and it is determined whether the volume of the softener is less than a preset volume; if it is determined that the volume of the softener is less than the preset volume, a reminder message is generated to remind the user to add softener to the softener bin to eliminate the foam in the inner drum of the washing machine.
