[0051] The specific embodiments of the present application have been shown through the above-described drawings, and will be described in more detail hereinafter. The drawings and the written description are not intended to restrict the scope of the present application in any way, but to explain the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to a specific embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0052] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0053] The terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth" and the like (if any) in the description, claims and drawings of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily indicate a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0054] In the embodiments of the present application, the words "exemplary" or "for example" are used to mean example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design solution described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design solutions. Rather, the use of "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0055] With the continuous improvement of production technology and the increasing demand of users, users have higher and higher requirements for laundry treating apparatuses.

[0056] The existing laundry treating apparatuses usually have a laundry treating agent dispensing box arranged on the laundry treating apparatus. The user opens the dispensing box by pulling or the like, adds laundry treating agent into the dispensing box, and then starts a laundry treating program. The laundry treating agent flows into the drum of the laundry treating apparatus along with the water.

[0057] However, due to the self-structure limitation of the dispensing box, there may be dead angles where water flow cannot fully flush, and the water flow cannot guarantee to completely flush the dispensing box as a whole, so the laundry treatment agent is easy to remain on the dispensing box, and long-term use can easily cause the laundry treatment agent to overflow due to excessive amount; and since the dispensing box is not completely sealed, external dust is easy to enter the dispensing box; especially some users may use laundry care products such as laundry beads to directly dispense into the drum, and the dispensing box will not be opened for a long time, and the user is also difficult to pay attention to the hygiene condition inside the dispensing box; the long-term accumulation of dust and bacteria breeding from the residual laundry treatment agent in the dispensing box can pollute the inside of the laundry treatment equipment and the laundry, and affect the effect of laundry treatment and the user's experience.

[0058] To solve the above problems, the present application proposes the following technical concept: the cleaning degree of the dispensing device of the laundry treatment equipment is mainly determined by the environmental conditions and the use conditions thereof, the state of the dispensing box after each cleaning can be regarded as a clean state, and the dirt degree of the dispensing box will gradually increase over time, so the moment when the dispensing box is cleaned each time can be regarded as the starting moment of a period, the environmental information and the use information of the area where the laundry treatment equipment is located are acquired at a certain frequency, and whether the dispensing device of the laundry treatment equipment needs to be cleaned is determined according to the environmental information and the use information; after determining that the dispensing device needs to be cleaned, a prompt information is sent to the user to prompt the user to timely disassemble and clean the dispensing device, and a new period is started after the dispensing box is cleaned, so that the dispensing box needs to be cleaned in time, and the user is prompted accordingly, so as to ensure the timely cleaning of the dispensing device and avoid the serious pollution of the dispensing box.

[0059] The technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions of the present application solve the above technical problems will be described in detail below with specific examples. The following specific examples can exist independently or in combination, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some examples. The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0060] Figure 1 Flowchart of the control method of the dispensing device of the laundry treatment equipment provided by the embodiments of the present application Figure 1 As shown in Figure 1 , the method comprises:

[0061] S101: acquiring the environmental information and the use information of the laundry treatment equipment in the current period according to a preset frequency.

[0062] The preset frequency may be, for example, once every two hours. The starting time of the current period is the time when the dispensing device last completed cleaning, that is, a period is from when the dispensing device last completed cleaning to when the dispensing device completes the current cleaning. The environmental information is local environmental information of a location where the clothes treatment apparatus is located, which may be, for example, meteorological information of the area, or temperature and humidity information of an indoor location where the clothes treatment apparatus is located, and the specific form of the environmental information is not particularly limited in this embodiment. The usage information is usage record information of the clothes treatment apparatus in the current period, which is used to reflect the frequency of use of the dispensing device in the current period, which may be, for example, a running program record of the clothes treatment apparatus in the current period, or the number of dispensing times of the dispensing device in the current period, and the specific form of the usage information is not particularly limited in this embodiment.

[0063] Specifically, the control device of the clothes treatment apparatus acquires environmental information of the clothes treatment apparatus through an environmental information acquisition device according to a preset frequency. The control device may be a control device on the clothes treatment apparatus, or an external device such as a server in communication connection with the clothes treatment apparatus. The environmental information acquisition device may be, for example, a server in communication connection with the control device, or a sensor provided on the clothes treatment apparatus, and the specific form of the environmental information acquisition device is not particularly limited in this embodiment. The usage information is obtained by reading usage record information of the clothes treatment apparatus in the current period from a corresponding storage location.

[0064] S102: Determine whether the dispensing device currently needs cleaning according to the environmental information and the usage information.

[0065] Specifically, the control device determines whether the dispensing device currently needs cleaning according to the environment information and the use information according to a preset algorithm. The preset algorithm may be, for example, that each parameter item of the environment information and the use information and the cumulative duration of the current period are substituted into a dirtiness degree calculation function model determined in advance through a large number of experimental results and regression analysis, and a dirtiness degree calculation result of an output of the function model is obtained. The calculation result is compared with a preset dirtiness degree threshold value. If the calculation result is higher than the threshold value, it is determined that the dispensing device currently needs cleaning. The dirtiness degree may be represented by a dirtiness degree score, which may be, for example, a weighted sum of the dust mass, the residual laundry treatment agent mass, and the microbial density in the dispensing device. The environment information and the use information may also be input into a pre-trained dirtiness prediction model. The output value of the prediction model is a predicted time value, i.e., a time when the dirtiness degree is higher than the threshold value. When the current time reaches the predicted time, it is determined that the dispensing device currently needs cleaning. The specific content of the preset algorithm is not limited in the present application.

[0066] S103: If yes, send cleaning prompt information to the user to prompt the user to clean the dispensing device.

[0067] Specifically, after it is determined that the dispensing device currently needs cleaning, the control device sends cleaning prompt information to the user through the signal sending device. The cleaning prompt information may be, for example, a cleaning prompt message pushed to the user through an application, or a voice prompt played by a voice module of the laundry treatment device, and the like. The specific form and sending method of the cleaning prompt information are not particularly limited in the present embodiment.

[0068] S104: Otherwise, continue to execute the step of acquiring the environment information and the use information of the laundry treatment device in the current period according to the preset frequency.

[0069] Specifically, if it is determined that the dispensing device currently does not need cleaning, the control device continues to execute steps S101 to S102 and the corresponding subsequent steps.

[0070] The control method of the dispensing device of the clothes processing apparatus provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises the following steps: obtaining the environment information and the use information of the clothes processing apparatus in a current period according to a preset frequency, the starting time of the current period being the time when the dispensing device is last cleaned, and determining whether the dispensing device of the clothes processing apparatus needs to be cleaned according to the environment information and the use information; after it is determined that the dispensing device needs to be cleaned, sending prompt information to the user to prompt the user to clean the dispensing device in time, and starting a new period after the dispensing box is cleaned, so that the health condition of the dispensing device is effectively monitored, the user is prompted in time when the dispensing device needs to be cleaned, the cleaning of the dispensing device is ensured, and the situation that the dispensing box is seriously polluted is avoided.

[0071] Figure 2 Flowchart of the control method of the dispensing device of the clothes processing apparatus provided by the embodiments of the present application Figure 2 As shown in Figure 2 , the method comprises the following steps:

[0072] S201: obtaining the value of the environment parameter corresponding to each sampling time from the starting time to the current time of the current period according to a preset frequency.

[0073] Optionally, the environment parameter comprises at least one of the temperature, the humidity or the dust density in the air of the area where the clothes processing apparatus is located.

[0074] Specifically, the control device of the clothes processing apparatus samples and collects each environment parameter of the clothes processing apparatus according to a preset frequency, and obtains all samples obtained at each sampling time of the parameter from the starting time to the current time of the current period.

[0075] For example, the starting time of the current period is 7:00 on March 6, the current time is 13:00 on March 6, and the preset frequency is 2h / time, so that each sampling time from the starting time to the current time of the current period is 7:00 on March 6, 9:00 on March 6, 11:00 on March 6 and 13:00 on March 6.

[0076] S202: calculating the average value of each environment parameter in the current period from the starting time to the current time according to the value of each environment parameter corresponding to each sampling time.

[0077] S203: taking the average value of each environment parameter in the current period from the starting time to the current time as the environment information of the clothes processing apparatus in the current period.

[0078] Specifically, the control device calculates the average of each sampling value corresponding to each parameter item from the starting time to the current time according to each parameter item, and takes the average of each parameter item as the environmental information of the laundry treatment device in the current period.

[0079] Continuing to refer to the above example, assuming that the temperature of the area where the laundry treatment device is located is 21 degrees at 7:00 on March 6, 24 degrees at 9:00 on March 6, 28 degrees at 11:00 on March 6, and 29 degrees at 13:00 on March 6, the value corresponding to the temperature parameter item of the environmental information of the current time is (21+24+28+29) / 4=25.5 degrees.

[0080] S204: Obtain the usage information of the laundry treatment device in the current period according to the preset frequency.

[0081] The usage information is the laundry treatment program information executed by the laundry treatment device in the current period.

[0082] Specifically, the control device obtains the laundry treatment program information executed by the laundry treatment device in the current period up to the current sampling time from the corresponding storage location according to the preset frequency.

[0083] S205: Determine the expected cleaning time of the dispensing device according to the environmental information and the usage information.

[0084] Optionally, the specific method steps for determining the expected cleaning time of the dispensing device according to the environmental information and the usage information may be, for example:

[0085] Step one: Obtain the basic cleaning period of the laundry treatment device.

[0086] The basic cleaning period of the laundry treatment device is the preset maximum length of the interval between two cleanings of the dispensing device of the laundry treatment device, and may be, for example, 1080h. The basic cleaning period can be determined through a large number of experiments in advance. The dispensing device of the laundry treatment device is placed in different total suspended particulate concentrations, relative humidities, and temperatures, and the dispensing device is used to dispense laundry treatment agents at different frequencies. The dust mass, residual laundry treatment agent mass, and microbial density in different dispensing devices are obtained, and the length of time when any of them exceeds the preset threshold is recorded. The maximum length obtained through the above experiments is taken as the basic cleaning period of the laundry treatment device.

[0087] Step two: Determine the adjusted cleaning period of the laundry treatment device according to the basic cleaning period, the environmental information, and the usage information.

[0088] Optionally, the specific method steps of determining the adjusted cleaning cycle of the clothes processing device according to the basic cleaning cycle, the environmental information and the usage information can be, for example:

[0089] Step 1: According to the environmental information, a first cleaning coefficient of the current cycle is obtained.

[0090] The first cleaning coefficient is in an inverse proportional relationship with each parameter in the environmental information.

[0091] Specifically, the expression of the first cleaning coefficient can be, for example, as follows:

[0092] k = 1 / (m*d + n*w + o*t);

[0093] Wherein, k is the first cleaning coefficient, d is the total suspended particulate concentration in the environmental information, w is the humidity in the environmental information, t is the temperature in the environmental information, and m, n, o are preset weight coefficients. The specific values thereof can be determined by regression analysis through the expression model in steps 1 to 3 and the experimental results as described above.

[0094] Step 2: According to the usage information, the number of uses of the dispensing device up to the current time in the current cycle is obtained, and according to the number of uses, a second cleaning coefficient of the current cycle is obtained.

[0095] The number of uses is in an inverse proportional relationship with the second cleaning coefficient.

[0096] Specifically, the expression of the second cleaning coefficient can be, for example, as follows:

[0097] l = p / n;

[0098] Wherein, l is the second cleaning coefficient, and p is a preset weight coefficient. The specific value thereof can be determined by regression analysis through the expression model in steps 1 to 3 and the experimental results as described above.

[0099] Step 3: According to the first cleaning coefficient, the second cleaning coefficient and the basic cleaning cycle, an adjusted cleaning cycle of the clothes processing device is determined.

[0100] The adjusted cleaning cycle is obtained by multiplying the first cleaning coefficient, the second cleaning coefficient and the basic cleaning cycle, and the first cleaning coefficient and the second cleaning coefficient are both positive numbers less than 1.

[0101] Specifically, the expression of the adjusted cleaning cycle of the clothes processing device can be as follows:

[0102] T = T0*k*l;

[0103] Wherein, T is the adjustment cleaning cycle, T0 is the basic cleaning cycle, k is the first cleaning coefficient, and l is the second cleaning coefficient; different total air suspended particulate concentrations, relative humidity, and temperatures correspond to different first cleaning coefficient values, and different times of use correspond to different second cleaning coefficient values. The numerical mapping relationship can be determined and stored through regression analysis based on the experimental results and the above expression as described above, and based on the stored numerical mapping relationship and the current environmental information, the numerical value corresponding to the current environmental information is determined to be the first cleaning coefficient value, and based on the stored numerical mapping relationship and the current usage information, the numerical value corresponding to the current usage information is determined to be the second cleaning coefficient value, and the first The first cleaning coefficient value, the second cleaning coefficient value and the basic cleaning cycle are substituted into the above formula to obtain the adjusted cleaning cycle; according to the experimental results described above, different air total suspended particulate concentration intervals, relative humidity intervals, temperature intervals and their corresponding first cleaning coefficient values ​​can be stored in the first lookup table, and the second cleaning coefficient values ​​corresponding to different usage times can be stored in the second lookup table. Through the stored lookup tables, it is determined that the value corresponding to the interval to which the current environmental information belongs is the first cleaning coefficient value, and the value corresponding to the current usage information is the second cleaning coefficient value. The first cleaning coefficient value, the second cleaning coefficient value and the basic cleaning cycle are substituted into the above formula to obtain the adjusted cleaning cycle.

[0104] Assuming that the basic cleaning cycle is 1080 hours, the first cleaning coefficient is 0.625, and the second cleaning coefficient is 0.8, the adjusted cleaning cycle is 1080*0.625*0.8=540 hours.

[0105] Step 3: Determine the expected cleaning time of the dispensing device according to the adjusted cleaning cycle and the start time of the current cycle.

[0106] Specifically, the control device takes the moment after the starting moment and the adjusted cleaning cycle as the expected cleaning moment of the delivery device based on the starting moment of the current cycle and the adjusted cleaning cycle. For example, if the starting moment is 9 a.m. on June 7 and the adjusted cleaning cycle is 720 hours, the expected cleaning moment is the moment after 720 hours from 9 a.m. on June 7, that is, 9 a.m. on July 7.

[0107] S206: Determine whether the current moment reaches the expected cleaning moment. If so, determine that the dispensing device currently needs to be cleaned. Otherwise, the dispensing device currently does not need to be cleaned.

[0108] Specifically, the control device determines to execute step S208 according to the determined expected cleaning time when the current time reaches the expected cleaning time; otherwise, it continues to execute steps S201 to S206.

[0109] S207: If yes, the model information of the clothes processing device is acquired.

[0110] Specifically, the control device acquires the model information of the clothes processing device from the corresponding storage location.

[0111] S208: According to the model information, the target disassembly and cleaning method corresponding to the dispensing device of the clothes processing device is acquired.

[0112] Specifically, according to the model information, the control device acquires the disassembly and cleaning method corresponding to the model information from the corresponding storage location as the target disassembly and cleaning method corresponding to the dispensing device of the clothes processing device according to the preset corresponding relationship between different model information and different disassembly and cleaning methods.

[0113] S209: According to the target disassembly and cleaning method, the cleaning prompt information is generated and sent to the user.

[0114] Specifically, the control device generates the cleaning prompt information according to the acquired target disassembly and cleaning method, which can be an application message push or a short message, which can include a graphic and text description of the target disassembly and cleaning method, or a link through which the user can access to obtain the description of the target disassembly and cleaning method; the user contact information associated with the clothes processing device is acquired from the corresponding storage location, and the cleaning prompt information is sent to the user according to the contact information.

[0115] S210: Determine whether the user has completed cleaning the dispensing device.

[0116] Specifically, a cleaning feedback interface can be provided in the application associated with the clothes processing device or on the control display panel of the clothes processing device, and the user can send an indication signal to the control device by clicking the "cleaning completed" button in the interface after completing the cleaning of the dispensing device, and the control device determines that the user has completed the cleaning of the dispensing device after receiving the indication signal; when the indication signal is not received, it is determined that the user has not completed the cleaning of the dispensing device.

[0117] S211: If yes, a new cycle is confirmed to start, and the steps of acquiring the environmental information and usage information of the clothes processing device in the current cycle according to the preset frequency are executed.

[0118] Specifically, after determining that the user has completed the cleaning of the dispensing device, the control device takes the time when the above indication signal is received as the starting time, starts a new cycle, and continues to execute the method described in steps S201 to S210.

[0119] S212: If no, continue to determine whether the user has completed cleaning the dispensing device until it is confirmed that the user has completed cleaning the dispensing device.

[0120] Specifically, when the indication signal is not received, the control device continues to wait for the indication signal until the indication signal is received.

[0121] The control method of the dispensing device of the laundry treatment apparatus provided by the embodiments of the present application improves the real-time performance of the cleaning prompt information by taking the average value of the environmental parameter value corresponding to each sampling time in the current period up to the current time as the environmental information, taking the number of times of using the dispensing device up to the current time as the use information, and calculating the expected cleaning time of the dispensing device according to the environmental information and the use information at a preset frequency, which further ensures that the user can be reminded in time.
