[0002] Shared laundry equipment refers to the shared service of laundry equipment provided by enterprises in commercial areas, schools, etc. It is a new form of the sharing economy, including shared washing machines. Currently, the structure of shared laundry equipment, such as shared washing machines, includes replaceable washing tubs, which can be registered and used by one person per tub to avoid infection problems caused by cross-use.

[0003] Chinese patent CN107988758B discloses an intelligent laundry method and system, applied to a server in a laundry system with a detachable washing tub. The system includes: receiving washing tub information uploaded by a washing machine terminal, and determining whether the washing tub information uploaded by the washing machine terminal matches the washing tub information corresponding to the user's personal information. If they match, the server sends the washing parameters from the order information to the washing machine terminal. Additionally, Chinese patent CN108018673B discloses a scheduled laundry method and system, including: a server determining whether the washing tub information corresponding to the user's personal information matches the washing tub information uploaded by the washing machine terminal. If they match, the server sends the washing parameters to the washing machine terminal, allowing the washing machine terminal to control the laundry equipment to perform the laundry based on the washing parameters. Both of these patents perform data matching on the server side. In situations with poor network signal, this can easily lead to long waiting times for users, or even failure to match data and thus be unable to perform laundry.

[0004] Chinese patent CN207828610U discloses an intelligent laundry device. Users select washing parameters on a terminal, including an available washing machine, washing mode, and detergent. A server receives the washing parameters from the user's terminal and generates a washing order, then sends a reservation instruction to the available washing machine. Upon receiving the reservation instruction, the washing machine's 2G module enters a reservation state and sets a time. In this patent's solution, each order is bound to a specific washing machine. After placing an order, the user can only place a replaceable washing tub on the bound machine. Therefore, when the user arrives to do laundry, if the bound machine is occupied, the user must wait or place a new order to bind another washing machine, resulting in inconvenience and a poor user experience.

[0031] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

[0032] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the main steps of the washing method of the present invention;

[0033] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the specific steps of the washing method of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0034] The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments given are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. For example, although the steps of the method of the present invention are described in a specific order in this application, these orders are not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can perform the steps in different orders without departing from the basic principles of the present invention.

[0035] It should be noted that in the description of this invention, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment of the invention discloses a washing method using shared washing equipment. The shared washing equipment involved can be a shared washing machine, or it can be a washer-dryer combo, shoe washing machine, care machine, or other shared washing equipment. Such changes do not deviate from the principles and scope of this invention.

[0038] The shared laundry equipment includes a washing tub, which here refers to a replaceable inner tub. The specific use case of this invention is that users first need to purchase a washing tub. When they need to do laundry, they install the washing tub into the shared laundry equipment to do laundry. After washing, the washing tub is removed, so that each person can register and use one tub, avoiding the infection problem caused by cross-use of shared laundry equipment.

[0039] It should be noted that this invention does not impose specific limitations on the installation structure of the shared washing equipment and the washing tub inside it, as long as it can achieve the effect of installing the washing tub into the shared washing equipment for washing and being able to remove the washing tub after washing is completed.

[0040] The washing method of the shared washing equipment of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0041] Step S100: The user purchases a washing tub and registers.

[0042] In step S100 above, the user identifies the information of the purchased washing tub through the user terminal, and the user enters personal registration information through the user terminal. The user terminal sends the information of the purchased washing tub and the personal registration information to the server for registration and storage.

[0043] It should be noted that the user terminal of the present invention can be a mobile phone, computer, tablet computer, smart bracelet and other terminal devices, and the present invention does not make any specific limitation.

[0044] For example, users can register by scanning the information of the purchased washing tub through a mobile app and entering their personal registration information on the app interface.

[0045] Step S110: The user places an order through the user terminal;

[0046] In step S120, the user terminal sends the order entered by the user to the server, and the server generates order information;

[0047] In steps S110 and S120 above, the user inputs an order that includes at least a program code through the user terminal; the user terminal sends the order that includes at least a program code to the server, the server generates order information based on the order, wherein the order information includes the user's washing tub information, but does not include any information of shared washing equipment, and the server sends all order information to the terminals of all washing equipment in standby state.

[0048] It should be noted that the server can be a terminal that sends all order information to all washing machines in standby mode in real time, or it can send all order information to all washing machines in standby mode when the network signal is good, or it can send all order information to all washing machines in standby mode periodically at short intervals. This invention does not make any specific limitations.

[0049] It should be noted that the order sent by the user terminal also includes the user's personal information or the user's washing tub information. The server stores the user's personal information and the user's washing tub information. The order information generated by the server includes at least the user's washing tub information but does not include any information about shared washing equipment. This allows the washing equipment terminal to compare all the order information with the installed washing tub information.

[0050] Step S130: The washing equipment terminal receives the order information sent by the server;

[0051] Step S140: The washing equipment terminal identifies the information of the washing tub installed in the shared washing equipment;

[0052] Step S150: The washing equipment terminal determines whether the information of the installed washing tub is included in all order information;

[0053] In steps S130, S140, and S150 above, all shared washing equipment in standby state stores all order information sent by the server. Users or staff can match the washing tubs when they are installed in any shared washing equipment in standby state. Then, the washing equipment terminal automatically identifies the information of the installed washing tub and compares whether the information of the installed washing tub is included in all order information. Based on the comparison result, it selectively executes step S160 or step S170.

[0054] For example, the washing tub is equipped with an IC card, and the information of the washing tub is the tub's ID number. The order information generated by the server includes the tub's ID number. Those skilled in the art can also use other methods to identify the washing tub information, and the present invention does not make specific limitations.

[0055] Step S160: The washing equipment terminal retrieves the program code from the server;

[0056] Step S161: The washing equipment terminal controls the shared washing equipment to perform washing according to the washing program corresponding to the program code;

[0057] In the above steps S160 and S161, when all order information includes the information of the installed washing tub, the program code corresponding to the installed washing tub is retrieved from the server, and then the corresponding washing program is found from the washing equipment terminal and the shared washing equipment is controlled to perform washing according to the found washing program.

[0058] In one specific embodiment, the order information generated by the server includes an order number, which corresponds to the user's washing tub information and the user's personal information; the washing equipment terminal sends the order number to the server, and the server feeds back the program code corresponding to the order number to the washing equipment terminal.

[0059] Step S170: The information of the installed washing tub is sent to the server, so that the server sends the first prompt message to the user to prompt the user to place an order;

[0060] Step S171: Detect whether the user to whom the installed washing tub belongs has placed an order within the preset time.

[0061] Step S172: If the user does not place an order within the set time, control the shared washing equipment to perform washing according to the default washing program;

[0062] In steps S170, S171, and S172 above, when the information of the installed washing tub is not included in all order information, a prompt to place an order is sent to the corresponding user. If the user still does not place an order within a preset time, the washing is performed according to the default washing program, and the server automatically deducts the fee after the washing is completed. The default washing program is stored in the shared washing equipment. It should also be noted that the method of the present invention can also first detect whether the installed washing tub is registered. If so, a first prompt message is sent to the user to whom the installed washing tub belongs.

[0063] In an optional embodiment, step S140 specifically includes:

[0064] Determine whether the washing tub installed in the shared laundry equipment is in the identification position;

[0065] If so, then identify the information of the installed washing tub;

[0066] If not, the installed washing tub is rotated so that the washing equipment terminal can recognize the information of the installed washing tub.

[0067] It should be noted that, since the identification module of the shared laundry equipment has a certain identification range, the laundry equipment terminal can only identify the information of the laundry tub when the IC card of the laundry tub is within the identification range of the identification module. In the method of the present invention, when the laundry tub is in the identification position after installation, the information of the laundry tub is directly identified. When the laundry tub is not in the identification position after installation, the installed laundry tub is controlled to rotate, so that the laundry equipment terminal can identify the information of the installed laundry tub.

[0068] For example, the present invention can directly identify the washing tub after installation. When the information of the washing tub is not identified, it is determined that the installed washing tub is not in the identification position and the washing tub needs to be controlled to rotate. Furthermore, the present invention does not specifically limit the method of controlling the rotation of the washing tub. For example, those skilled in the art can control the washing tub to rotate a certain angle each time until it rotates to the identification position, or they can control the washing tub to rotate continuously until the identification module can identify the information of the washing tub and then stop rotating.

[0069] In an optional embodiment, before steps S161 and S172, the washing equipment terminal also needs to detect whether the washing tub is installed in place and whether the door of the washing equipment is closed. After detecting that the washing tub is installed in place and the door is closed, the washing is performed directly according to the washing program corresponding to the program code or the default washing program.

[0070] When the washing tub is not installed properly or the door is not closed, the washing equipment terminal will prompt the relevant personnel to install the washing tub properly or close the door. For example, it can make a beeping sound, use text information, or other prompting methods. This invention does not make specific limitations.

[0071] Furthermore, when the present invention determines that the installed washing tub is not in the identification position, it needs to control the installed washing tub to rotate. Before the step of controlling the rotation of the washing tub, the step of detecting whether the washing tub is installed in place is performed. The present invention can also directly detect whether the washing tub is installed in place after the washing tub is installed.

[0072] In one optional embodiment, when a user needs pick-up and delivery service, the user terminal can input pick-up and delivery information, and the user terminal will send an order including at least the pick-up and delivery information and the program code to the server; the server generates order information and sends the order information to the terminals of all shared washing equipment in standby state and the staff terminals, so that the staff can pick up and deliver the order to the user's area according to the received order information;

[0073] Staff members use their terminals to identify the information of the washing tubs to be picked up and delivered, and determine whether the information of the washing tubs to be picked up and delivered is included in all order information.

[0074] If the judgment result is yes, the staff will collect the washing tub and deliver it to the laundry point or public laundry room, install the washing tub into any shared washing equipment in standby mode, close the door and start washing.

[0075] If the judgment result is negative, it means that the user has placed an order but has not selected the pickup and delivery service, or the user has not placed an order yet. At this time, the staff terminal sends the information of the washing tub to be picked up and delivered to the server, so that the server sends a second prompt message to the user to whom the washing tub belongs, prompting the user to re-order and select the pickup and delivery service; here, for users who have not placed an order, the second prompt message is used to prompt the user to place an order.

[0076] After the laundry is completed, staff use their terminals to identify the washing tub and return it, along with the clothes inside, to the user's area. They also send a third notification to the user to indicate that the laundry is finished.

[0077] It should be noted that when users register, their personal registration information includes their location information. Staff can obtain the user's location information by scanning the information on the washing tub, so as to pick up and deliver the washing tub and the clothes inside.

[0078] For example, when registering, a student enters their dormitory building number, other personal information, and the information of the laundry tub they purchased via a user terminal. After selecting the pick-up and delivery service, the student delivers the laundry tub to their dormitory building, where staff collect it based on the order information. The staff's terminal identifies the information of the laundry tub to be picked up and determines if it is among all orders. If so, it is collected; otherwise, the student is notified to place a new order, and the previous order is cancelled. After the laundry is completed, the staff's terminal identifies the information of the laundry tub and delivers it to the corresponding dormitory building, notifying the student that the laundry is complete and ready for collection. Furthermore, this invention can also be divided according to school areas, delivering the collected laundry tubs to the corresponding laundry points or public laundry rooms for washing.

[0079] It should be noted that the order number of the present invention may also include the ID number of the bucket and the order date; the order number may also include the ID number of the bucket, the order date, and different codes for the province, city, county, and school; those skilled in the art can set it according to the actual use situation, and the present invention does not make specific limitations.

[0080] Furthermore, those skilled in the art can specifically set the communication methods of the washing equipment terminal, server, user terminal, and staff terminal, such as through WIFI, Bluetooth, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, etc., and the present invention does not make specific limitations.

[0081] Example 2

[0082] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that in this embodiment, when the user places an order, the user enters the program code on the user terminal, and the order information generated by the server includes at least the program code and the user's washing tub information, and the server sends all order information to the terminals of all shared washing devices in standby state.

[0083] The washing equipment terminal determines whether the information of the installed washing tub is included in all order information; if so, after detecting that the washing tub is installed in place and the door is closed, the washing equipment terminal searches for the washing program on its own machine according to the program code and controls the shared washing equipment to perform washing.

[0084] Example 3

[0085] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that: in this embodiment, when the user places an order, he / she enters washing parameters, the order information generated by the server includes the user's washing tub information, and the server sends all order information to the terminals of all shared washing devices in standby state;

[0086] The washing equipment terminal determines whether the information of the installed washing tub is included in all order information; if so, it retrieves the washing parameters from the server.

[0087] After detecting that the washing tub is installed in place and the door is closed, the washing equipment terminal controls the shared washing equipment to perform washing based on the retrieved washing parameters.

[0088] This invention also discloses a laundry system for a shared washing device, the washing system being configured to perform the above-described laundry method.

[0089] This invention also discloses a shared washing device, including a washing device terminal, which is configured to perform the washing method described above.
