[0059] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0060] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0061] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc. (if present) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0062] In this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0063] Some existing garment processing devices have built-in advanced voice recognition technology that can accurately recognize user voice commands. Users can control the washing machine to start, stop, select washing programs, and adjust washing parameters using simple voice commands, achieving true intelligent control. Some garment processing devices also have reminder functions, providing voice prompts to indicate the progress of the washing program and notifications when the washing cycle is complete, allowing users to stay informed about the device's operating status.

[0064] The garment processing equipment in this embodiment can be a washing machine, dry cleaning machine, dryer, or other equipment that has garment processing functions and has a door. This embodiment does not impose any particular limitation on the type of garment processing equipment.

[0065] In existing garment processing equipment, if a user says "open the door" or similar commands to the equipment but the equipment's current state does not meet the conditions for opening, the user's voice command will not open the door. The equipment will not explain to the user why it cannot open the door, leaving the user unable to know how to open it and affecting the user experience.

[0066] To address this technical problem, the technical concept of this application is as follows: Upon receiving a user's voice command to open the door, determine whether the door lock of the clothing processing equipment is unlocked. If the door lock is not unlocked, query the current status of the clothing processing equipment, which may include the water temperature and water level inside the drum. Identify the target state that prevents the clothing processing equipment from unlocking the door lock from the current status of the clothing processing equipment, and send the corresponding prompt information to the user.

[0067] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0068] In one possible embodiment of this application, a control method for a garment processing device is provided, which can be applied to the control unit of the garment processing device. Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a control method for a garment processing device provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0069] S101. In response to the first voice unlocking command sent by the user for unlocking the door lock of the clothing processing equipment, determine whether the door lock of the clothing processing equipment is unlocked;

[0070] Specifically, for example, when a user says "open the door," "open the door" becomes the first voice unlock command. The garment processing equipment can be equipped with a door lock status sensor to detect whether the door lock is unlocked, or the unlocked and locked states of the door lock mechanism will send different signals to the control unit of the garment processing equipment to determine whether the door lock is unlocked.

[0071] Optionally, if the door lock is unlocked, an unlocking message is sent to the user to notify them that the door lock is unlocked. The unlocking message can be a voice message sent via a voice unit, such as "The door lock is unlocked, you can open the door now."

[0072] S102. If the door lock of the clothing processing equipment is not unlocked, obtain the current status information of the clothing processing equipment, which includes multiple current statuses of the clothing processing equipment.

[0073] The current status information of the garment processing equipment includes various status information of the garment processing equipment, such as the water temperature inside the drum, the water level inside the drum, and the fault status.

[0074] S103. Based on the current status information, determine the target status that causes the door lock to remain locked from among multiple current statuses;

[0075] Since the current status of the garment processing equipment can be either faulty or operational, and the operational status can include parameters such as the water temperature inside the drum, the water level inside the drum, and the rotation speed of the inner drum, there are two scenarios:

[0076] Optionally, based on the current state information, determine the target state that causes the door lock to remain locked from among multiple current states, including:

[0077] Determine whether the current status information includes a fault status of the clothing processing equipment;

[0078] If so, then the fault state is determined as the target state;

[0079] If not, then based on the current state information, obtain the current state values ​​corresponding to each of the multiple current states, and determine the target state based on the current state values.

[0080] Specifically, the control unit acquires the current status information and first determines whether it includes information related to a fault state. If so, the fault state is the target state causing the lock to malfunction. If it does not include a fault state, the control unit determines which current state is causing the lock to malfunction based on the values ​​corresponding to each of the multiple current states in the current status information. For example, the current water level in the drum corresponds to the current water level, and the current water temperature in the drum corresponds to the current water temperature. Typically, for a garment processing device to unlock, the values ​​of certain states cannot be too high. Different garment processing devices have different criteria for determining these values ​​depending on their capacity or operating program. For example, if the water temperature in the drum exceeds 70°C or the water level in the drum exceeds 50cm, the lock cannot be unlocked. Therefore, the control unit can determine which state is causing the lock to malfunction based on the values ​​corresponding to each of the multiple current states.

[0081] S104. Based on the target status, send the corresponding prompt information to the user.

[0082] The target status and its corresponding prompts can be stored in the storage unit of the garment processing equipment. The control unit can query the corresponding prompts based on the determined target status. The prompts can be voice prompts. When the target status is a fault, the prompt can be "Please clear the alarm first." When the target status is the current water level or temperature in the garment processing equipment, the prompt can be "The water temperature in the drum is too high, please wait a moment," or "The water level in the drum is too high, please wait a moment," etc. The prompts can also be voice messages sent to the user by the garment processing equipment's voice module to improve the user experience.

[0083] The technical effect of this embodiment is that when a user wants to open the door but the lock of the clothing processing equipment is not unlocked, the status of the clothing processing equipment that is preventing the door from being unlocked is queried, and the prompt information corresponding to the status of these clothing processing equipment that are preventing the door from being opened is sent to the user. This allows the user to know why the door cannot be opened or how to open the door, thus improving the user experience.

[0084] In one possible embodiment of this application, a method for determining a target state based on a state value is provided. Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a method for determining a target state based on a state value, as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0085] S201. Obtain the threshold information corresponding to the current state of each type. The threshold information includes the state threshold and the judgment condition corresponding to the state threshold. The judgment condition is used to indicate that when the current state is greater than or less than the state threshold, the current state is the target state.

[0086] Specifically, the control unit can query the threshold information corresponding to the current state of each type from the storage unit. The threshold information stores the state threshold and the judgment conditions corresponding to the current state of each type. However, for different garment processing devices, the state threshold and the corresponding judgment conditions will differ depending on their capacity or operating program.

[0087] Generally speaking, the door lock cannot be unlocked when the water temperature or water level inside the drum of the garment processing equipment is higher than the status threshold. However, if the inner drum speed is lower than the status threshold during the washing process, the control unit may determine that the garment processing equipment is malfunctioning, causing the door lock to be unable to unlock.

[0088] For example, the larger the washing capacity of the washing machine, the higher the threshold value corresponding to the water level in the drum. For instance, regarding the water level in the drum, the judgment condition indicates that when the water level is greater than 50cm, the current state is the target state, and the door lock cannot be unlocked.

[0089] For example, some garment processing equipment has a high-temperature washing function, where the water temperature inside the drum may reach 70°C. For instance, to prevent scalding the user, the target state is when the water temperature inside the drum exceeds 50°C, and the door lock cannot be unlocked. Garment processing equipment without a high-temperature washing function, for instance, has a target state when the water temperature inside the drum exceeds 30°C, and the door lock cannot be unlocked.

[0090] S202. Determine the target state from among multiple current states based on the threshold information and the current state value of the current state.

[0091] Specifically, in this step, based on the judgment conditions and state thresholds in each current state value and the corresponding threshold information, the relationship between the current state value and the corresponding state threshold is determined, thereby identifying which current states are target states.

[0092] The technical effect of this embodiment is that, by using the current state value and pre-stored threshold information, it can determine which states are the target states among the various current states of the clothing processing device, thereby enabling it to send prompt information corresponding to the target state to the user.

[0093] In one possible embodiment of this application, a method is provided for sending a prompt message corresponding to a target status to a user. Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for sending a target status-corresponding prompt message to a user, as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0094] S301. Obtain the state type of the target state;

[0095] S302. Based on the state type of the target state, obtain the waiting time for unlocking the door lock. Different state types correspond to different waiting times.

[0096] The target state can be classified as a fault state or an operating state such as the water level inside the cylinder, the water temperature inside the cylinder, and the rotation speed of the inner cylinder. The storage unit can store the waiting time corresponding to each state type, and the waiting time varies for different state types. For example, the waiting time could be 5 minutes for a fault state, 10 minutes for the water level inside the cylinder, and 8 minutes for the water temperature inside the cylinder.

[0097] S303. Add the waiting time information to the prompt message and send the prompt message to the user.

[0098] Specifically, in this embodiment, the prompt message may be "The current water level in the cylinder is too high. Please wait patiently for 10 minutes."

[0099] Optionally, based on the state type of the target state, obtain the waiting time for unlocking the door lock, including:

[0100] Based on the state type of the target state, obtain the state threshold of the target state;

[0101] Calculate the difference between the current state value of the target state and the state threshold of the target state;

[0102] Calculate the waiting time based on the difference.

[0103] Specifically, for example, when the target state is the water level in the cylinder or the water temperature in the cylinder, the current state value information of the target state is the current water level in the cylinder and the current water temperature in the cylinder. Therefore, the control unit can calculate the water level difference between the current water level in the cylinder and the water level threshold, and the water temperature difference between the current water temperature in the cylinder and the water temperature threshold. Based on the water level difference and the water temperature difference, it can calculate how long it will take to lower the water temperature or water level in the cylinder to a level that allows the door lock to be unlocked.

[0104] After obtaining the above water level difference and water temperature difference, for example, the time required to lower the water level to the point where the door lock can be unlocked can be calculated based on the drainage volume of the clothing processing equipment per unit time, and the time required to lower the water temperature to the point where the door lock can be unlocked can be calculated based on the water intake volume of the clothing processing equipment per unit time. For example, if the water level difference is 10cm and the drainage volume of the clothing processing equipment is 1cm of water per minute, then it will take 10 minutes to lower the water level to the point where the door lock can be unlocked; if the water temperature difference is 8℃ and the clothing processing equipment takes in 1L of water per unit time, and the temperature drops at a rate of 1℃ per minute based on the water intake volume per unit time, then it will take 8 minutes to lower the water temperature to the point where the door lock can be unlocked.

[0105] The technical effect of this embodiment is that by calculating the waiting time for the door lock to unlock, users can know how much longer it will take to unlock the door lock, thus improving the user experience.

[0106] Considering that users may still want to unlock the door lock after being informed of the reason why it cannot be unlocked, in one possible embodiment of this application, a control method for unlocking a door lock based on a target state is provided. This method is applied after sending a prompt message corresponding to the target state to the user based on the target state information. Figure 4 This is a flowchart of a control method for unlocking a door lock based on a target state, provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0107] S401. Send a query message to the user asking whether to unlock the door lock;

[0108] The message sent to the user can be a voice message, such as "Do you need to unlock?"

[0109] S402. If a second voice unlock command is received from the user, and the clothing handling device is determined to meet the unlocking conditions according to the target state, the clothing handling device is controlled to execute the unlocking program corresponding to the target state. The unlocking program is used to unlock the door lock.

[0110] The user's second voice unlock command could be something like "I need to open the door." Upon receiving this command, the control unit can control the garment processing device to perform corresponding operations based on the target state. When it's determined that the garment processing device meets the unlocking conditions, the control unit will execute the unlocking procedure corresponding to the target state.

[0111] Optionally, based on the target state, when it is determined that the garment handling equipment meets the unlocking conditions, the garment handling equipment is controlled to execute the unlocking procedure corresponding to the target state, including:

[0112] If the target status is the water level inside the garment processing equipment, determine whether the garment processing equipment has a mid-process garment addition program:

[0113] If so, then control the door lock to unlock and control the clothing handling equipment to execute the mid-process clothing addition procedure;

[0114] If not, control the garment processing equipment to drain the water from the inner drum of the garment processing equipment and detect the water level in the inner drum of the garment processing equipment;

[0115] When the water level in the inner drum of the garment processing equipment is lower than the preset water level threshold, the door lock is unlocked.

[0116] In this embodiment, the preset water level threshold can be the upper limit of the water level for unlocking the door lock of the clothing processing equipment. Therefore, when the water level in the inner drum is detected to be lower than the preset water level threshold, the door lock is controlled to unlock. For example, when the preset water level threshold is 50cm, if the water level in the drum is detected to be 49cm, the door lock is controlled to unlock.

[0117] Optionally, based on the target state, when it is determined that the garment handling equipment meets the unlocking conditions, the garment handling equipment is controlled to execute the unlocking procedure corresponding to the target state, including:

[0118] If the target state is the water temperature inside the drum of the clothing processing equipment, then control the clothing processing equipment to add water to the inner drum of the clothing processing equipment and detect the water temperature inside the inner drum of the clothing processing equipment.

[0119] When the water temperature in the inner drum of the garment processing equipment is lower than the preset water temperature threshold, the door lock will be unlocked.

[0120] Adding water to the inner drum can lower the water temperature inside. In this embodiment, the preset water temperature threshold can be the upper limit of the water temperature at which the door lock of the clothing processing equipment is unlocked. Therefore, when the water temperature in the inner drum is detected to be lower than the preset water temperature threshold, the door lock is unlocked. For example, if the preset water temperature threshold is 70°C, and the water temperature in the drum is detected to be 69°C, the door lock is unlocked.

[0121] After the door lock is unlocked using the above method, the control unit can also control the clothing handling equipment to send a "unlocked" message to the user.

[0122] The technical effect of this embodiment is that after sending a prompt message to the user, if the user still wants to unlock the door lock, the corresponding unlocking procedure is executed according to the target state, without requiring the user to operate it manually, which is convenient, fast and improves the user experience.

[0123] In one possible embodiment of this application, a control device for a garment processing apparatus is provided.
