In addition, the person skilled in the art can combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in the specification and the features of the different embodiments or examples without contradiction.

[0029] In the related art, the washing equipment usually uses the means of enhancing the water flow intensity, increasing the detergent dosage, and pre-softening the water quality to enhance the decontamination ability of the clothes and improve the washing effect. However, these measures have limited improvement in the removal ability of stubborn stains, resulting in that the overall washing effect of the washing equipment is still not ideal.

[0030] The embodiments of the present application provide a washing equipment and a control method, a control device and a storage medium thereof to solve the problem of poor washing effect of the existing washing equipment. The following will be described in combination with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-5

[0031] The control method of the washing equipment provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied to a heat pump type washing equipment, which includes a washing drum, an ion generating device, a circulating pump and a circulating pipeline. The ion generating device is communicated with the circulating pipeline through a Venturi tube, and the circulating pump is configured to drive the washing water to circulate between the washing drum and the circulating pipeline. For example, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The flowchart of the control method of the washing equipment provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown.

[0032] Referring to Figure 1 , the control method of the washing equipment can include: S101: in response to a preset water inlet instruction, water is fed into the washing drum; ​It can be understood that after receiving the start washing instruction sent by the user through the operation panel or the intelligent terminal, the control system of the washing equipment will first analyze and generate a preset water inlet instruction. The instruction contains parameters such as target water level and water inlet rate. Then, the control system controls the water inlet valve to open, and water is injected into the washing drum until the water level detected by the water level sensor reaches the preset value. At this time, the control system closes the water inlet valve, and the water inlet process is completed.

[0033] Further, during the water inlet process, detergent can also be introduced into the washing drum to improve the cleaning effect.

[0034] S102: In response to the preset washing instruction, the ion generating device is controlled to be turned on, and the circulating pump is controlled to be turned on to wash the clothes.

[0035] After the water inlet is completed, the control system can generate and execute a preset washing instruction, which marks the formal start of the main washing stage. Under this instruction, the control system drives the circulating pump to start, and starts to pump the washing water in the washing drum out, through the circulating pipeline, and then back to the washing drum, forming a water circulation loop. The power and speed of the circulating pump can be adjusted according to the washing program to control the water flow intensity.

[0036] In this process, the ion generating device is also turned on, which ionizes air or a specific gas to generate active gas containing negative ions, ozone and other strong oxidizing active gas. When the water flow driven by the circulating pump passes through the contraction section of the Venturi tube at high speed, according to the Venturi effect, the flow rate at this position increases dramatically and the static pressure decreases significantly, forming a negative pressure area. This negative pressure area generates suction force on the ion generating device through the connecting pipeline, which can actively, continuously and efficiently suck the generated active gas into the circulating water flow. The active gas sucked in the active gas is mixed and sheared with the high-speed water flow in the expansion section of the Venturi tube and the subsequent pipeline, so as to dissolve and form a large number of active micro-bubbles. The surface of the micro-bubble is negatively charged, which can attract positively charged dirt (such as protein, dye), has high cleaning capacity for stains, and ensures the concentration of negative ions in all washing water, which can effectively kill bacteria and decompose organic matter, and improve the cleaning effect of the washing equipment from the root.

[0037] It can be understood that a large number of micro-bubbles generated by the Venturi tube in the circulating pipeline during the washing water flow process will produce local high pressure (>1000atm) and micro-jet when the micro-bubbles break during the washing process, which will impact the dirt and make the dirt peel off. The micro-bubbles perform Brownian motion in water, which can go deeper into the fiber gap and carry away deep stains. When the micro-bubbles break, hydroxyl radicals are temporarily generated, which can oxidize and decompose organic stains (such as oil stains and sweat stains). Micro-bubbles can also increase the dissolved oxygen in water and enhance the enzyme activity of detergents (such as protease and lipase), thereby improving the stain removal efficiency.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, after the control of the circulating pump is turned on, the control method further comprises: acquiring a water quality parameter of the washing water; and controlling the working state of the ion generating device based on the water quality parameter.

[0039] Exemplarily, a water quality detection module is arranged in the circulating pipeline or the washing drum. The water quality detection module can include one or more sensors for monitoring key parameters reflecting the activity state of the washing water in real time. The water quality parameter can include, but is not limited to, the ozone concentration, the PH value, etc. Based on the water quality parameter, the ion generating device is controlled to be turned off or the power of the ion generating device is adjusted, so as to avoid the ozone concentration or the PH value exceeding the standard, avoid the clothes being excessively oxidized, protect the color and fiber strength of the clothes, and prevent the clothes from fading.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, the controlling the working state of the ion generating device based on the water quality parameter comprises: controlling the ion generating device to be turned off in a case where the ozone concentration of the washing water exceeds a first preset threshold value; and / or controlling the ion generating device to be turned off in a case where the PH value of the washing water exceeds a second preset threshold value.

[0041] It should be noted that the first preset threshold value and the second preset threshold value can be a specific value or an interval range. The specific value can be determined according to actual needs, and the present embodiment does not make a specific limitation thereto.

[0042] In the present embodiment, when it is monitored that the ozone concentration of the washing water exceeds the first preset threshold value or the PH value of the washing water exceeds the second preset threshold value, the control system immediately controls the ion generating device to be turned off, so as to protect the clothes, avoid the clothes being oxidized and damaged, ensure the best balance between the washing effect and the protection of the clothes, and improve the use safety performance of the washing equipment.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, the control method further comprises: acquiring material information of the clothes; and determining the first preset threshold value and the second preset threshold value based on the material information.

[0044] It can be understood that the way of acquiring the material information of the clothes can include, but is not limited to, a user manually selecting or image recognition, etc. For example, explicit material options such as “cotton”, “hemp”, “chemical fiber”, “silk”, “wool”, “down jacket”, etc. can be provided on an interactive interface such as a touch screen or a knob of the washing equipment, and the user can select according to the label of the clothes before starting the program. The clothes can also be photographed by a built-in camera of the washing equipment, and the texture, luster and label information of the clothes are analyzed by using an image recognition algorithm and a cloud database, so as to automatically determine the material of the clothes.

[0045] The control system has a database built-in, which stores the limit values of the safe concentration of active ingredients that different materials of clothes can bear. After obtaining the information of the material of clothes, the control system determines the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold through database query, realizes fine washing of clothes of different materials, and realizes the balance between the maximum cleaning effect and the protection of clothes. For example, for dirty and wear-resistant cotton and linen clothes, higher active concentration and higher PH value can be used to improve the cleaning effect; for silk and wool, the system can prioritize protection while taking advantage of the advantages of active ions to achieve gentle and effective cleaning.

[0046] In some embodiments, after the washing is completed, the washing equipment can also receive user feedback data to optimize and adjust the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, the control of the ion generating device includes: obtaining the weight information of the clothes and the hardness information of the washing water; determining the target output power of the ion generating device based on the weight information and / or the hardness information; and controlling the ion generating device to operate at the target output power.

[0048] Specifically, the weight information of the clothes can be obtained by a weighing sensor before water washing, and the hardness information can be measured by a hardness sensor arranged in the water inlet pipe or the circulation pipe. The heavier the load of the clothes, the larger the surface area that needs to be covered and the total amount of stains that needs to be decomposed, and therefore more active micro-bubble water is needed. The hardness of water is mainly determined by the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions, which can react with active oxygen and other components, consume their effective energy, and thus reduce the actual washing efficiency of the clothes.

[0049] By determining the target output power of the ion generating device based on the weight information and / or the hardness information, for example, for small load or soft water environment, the system automatically reduces the power of the ion generating device, avoids unnecessary energy waste, ensures the consistency of washing effect under different working conditions, maximizes energy efficiency, intelligently compensates for the loss of washing efficiency caused by the difference in washing water hardness, and guarantees the stability and predictability of the cleaning effect.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, after the control of the circulating pump is turned on, the control method further includes: obtaining the weight information of the clothes; determining the target number of rinsing and the target length of rinsing based on the weight information; and controlling the circulating pump to be turned off after the washing equipment meets the target number of rinsing and the target length of rinsing.

[0051] Understandably, heavier garments require more rinses and longer rinsing times to ensure effective cleaning. By obtaining garment weight information and adjusting the target number of rinses and rinsing time, thorough cleaning is ensured regardless of garment weight, improving cleanliness, preventing over-washing, and reducing energy consumption.

[0052] In one optional embodiment, the washing equipment further includes a main wash water inlet pipe and a pre-wash water inlet pipe. The main wash water inlet pipe is configured to introduce water into the washing drum, and the pre-wash water inlet pipe is configured to introduce detergent into the washing drum. In response to a preset water inlet command, introducing water into the washing drum includes: in response to the pre-wash water inlet command, controlling the ion generator to turn on and introducing water into the pre-wash water inlet pipe; controlling the ion generator to turn off after the pre-wash water inlet is completed; in response to the main wash water inlet command, controlling the ion generator to turn on and introducing water into the main wash water inlet pipe; controlling the ion generator to turn off after the main wash water inlet is completed.

[0053] In this embodiment, the washing equipment can be equipped with both a pre-wash water inlet pipe and a main wash water inlet pipe. The pre-wash water inlet pipe is an independent water supply path for the pre-wash stage, with one end connected to an external water source and the other end connected to the washing drum of the washing equipment. During the water intake process of the pre-wash water inlet pipe, detergent can be introduced into the pre-wash water inlet pipe, thereby flushing the pre-wash detergent into the washing drum to initially wet the clothes and soften the stains. The main wash water inlet pipe is the main water supply path for the main wash stage, with one end connected to an external water source and the other end connected to the washing drum of the washing equipment, used to send a large amount of clean water into the washing drum for washing during the main wash stage.

[0054] The ion generator can be connected to both the main wash water inlet pipe and the pre-wash water inlet pipe via a venturi tube. This allows the active substances (negative ions or ozone) generated by the ion generator to be fully mixed with the detergent and wash water during the pre-wash and main wash water inlet processes, forming a washing liquid rich in active substances. This ensures the concentration of active substances in all wash water, which can more effectively decompose and remove stubborn stains from clothing fibers, effectively kill bacteria, and improve the cleaning effect of the washing equipment on clothes.

[0055] Specifically, when the washing equipment's control system receives a pre-wash water inlet command selected by the user or set by the program, the system first activates the ion generator, putting it into working condition. Then, it controls the opening of the pre-wash water inlet valve, allowing water to flow into the pre-wash water inlet pipe, flushing detergent into the washing drum. During this process, the detergent liquid mixes thoroughly with the negative ions generated by the ion generator. The control system uses a water level sensor or timer to determine if the pre-wash water volume or detergent has reached the set value, then closes the pre-wash water inlet valve and stops the ion generator from operating.

[0056] When the washing program enters the main wash stage and triggers the main wash water inlet command, the system reactivates the ion generator. Simultaneously, the main wash water inlet valve opens, and the clean water for the main wash is also treated by the ion generator before entering the washing drum, ensuring thorough mixing of the wash water with negative ions to create wash water rich in negative ions. Once the main wash water level reaches the preset level, the main wash water inlet valve closes. After confirming that the main wash water inlet has stopped, the control system shuts off the ion generator again, achieving sufficient and automated precise delivery of negative ions during the washing process, improving the cleaning effect on clothes while reducing energy consumption.

[0057] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the specific control methods for washing equipment may include: S1: Start the washing program, proceed to S2; S2: Weigh the clothes, weigh the value W, obtain the set number of rinses X and the target water level H1, then proceed to S3; S3: Start the pre-wash water inlet valve to allow water to enter, and simultaneously start the negative ion module, then proceed to S4; S4: Pre-wash water intake ends, pre-wash water intake valve closes, negative ion shuts off, proceed to S5; S5: Start the main wash water inlet valve to start water intake, then start the negative ion module again. After completion, proceed to S7. S6: Determine if the water level H≥H1. If not, continue to S5; if yes, proceed to S8. S7: Close the main wash water inlet valve, turn off the negative ion module, and proceed to S8; S8: Enter the main wash, start the circulation pump, and start the negative ion module; S9: Start the ozone concentration detection module and start the pH value detection module; S10: If the ozone concentration value A < A1 and the pH value of the washing water ph < ph1, proceed to S13; if neither is true, proceed to S11. S11: Turn off the negative ion generator; S12: Turn off the ozone concentration detection module and the pH value detection module; S13: Washing time t≥t1; if not, proceed to S10; if yes, proceed to S14. S14: Turn off the circulation pump in circulation mode and start the drainage mode; S15: Drainage complete, proceed to rinsing, until washing is complete.

[0058] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a control device for a washing machine. The washing machine includes a washing drum, an ion generator, a circulation pump, and a circulation pipeline. The ion generator is connected to the circulation pipeline via a venturi tube. The circulation pump is configured to drive washing water to circulate between the washing drum and the circulation pipeline. (See reference...) Figure 3As shown, the control device comprises: a water inlet module 301, configured to supply water into the washing drum in response to a preset water inlet instruction; a washing module 302, configured to control the ion generator to be turned on and the circulating pump to be turned on in response to a preset washing instruction, and to perform washing on the laundry.

[0059] The control device of the washing equipment of the embodiment can be applied to the washing equipment and perform the control method of the washing equipment of the above-mentioned embodiment, and the specific implementation can refer to the above-mentioned embodiment, which will not be described herein.

[0060] In a third aspect, the embodiment of the present application further provides a washing equipment, which can refer to Figure 4 As shown, the washing equipment can comprise: a washing drum 100; a circulating pump 200 and a circulating pipeline 300, the circulating pump 200 being configured to drive the washing water to circulate between the washing drum 100 and the circulating pipeline 300; an ion generator 400, which is communicated with the circulating pipeline 300 through a Venturi tube 500; and a controller, which is electrically connected with the circulating pump 200 and the ion generator 400, to perform the control method of the washing equipment of the above-mentioned embodiment.

[0061] The washing equipment of the embodiment can comprise, but is not limited to, a drum washing machine, a washing and drying integrated machine, or a washing and drying set, etc.

[0062] It can be understood that the ion generator 400 can comprise, but is not limited to, one or more of a negative ion generator, a cloud ion generator, a plasma generator, a silver ion generator, and an ozone generator.

[0063] The negative ion generator is a device for generating air negative ions. High corona is generated by using a sharp DC high voltage, and a large amount of electrons (e-) is emitted at high speed. The electrons cannot exist in the air for a long time (the electron lifetime is only nS level), and are immediately captured by oxygen molecules (O2) in the air, thereby generating air negative ions; having the effects of sterilization, preservation and removal of odor.

[0064] The cloud ion generator is a device for generating air negative ions and ozone. A large amount of negative ions and ozone is generated after air is ionized, having the effects of sterilization and deodorization.

[0065] The main working principle of the plasma generator is to raise the low voltage to positive and negative high voltage through a booster circuit, and the positive and negative high voltage of the discharge needle is connected to the grounded metal ring to produce corona discharge, ionize the air to generate a large amount of air positive and negative ion groups, thereby performing sterilization, odor removal, smoke removal, and improving air quality.

[0066] Further, an ozone detection module and a PH detection module are arranged in the space between the inner drum and the outer drum of the washing device. The ozone concentration and the PH value of the washing water are controlled respectively to ensure safe washing.

[0067] The washing device of the embodiment can use water treated by negative ions when the washing machine automatically puts in the detergent, and can realize the process of adding air treated by negative ions during the whole process of main water inlet of the washing water, so as to realize effective assistance of negative ion bubble water to clothes washing. During the circulation washing, the Venturi secondary flow inlet can suck the gas containing negative ions to continuously enter the washing water flow, so as to form clothes washing containing negative ion water, and improve the washing effect of the washing device on clothes.

[0068] Figure 5 An example of a schematic diagram of a physical structure of an electronic device is shown in Figure 5 The electronic device can include a processor 501, a communications interface 502, a memory 503, and a communications bus 504, wherein the processor 501, the communications interface 502, and the memory 503 can communicate with each other through the communications bus 504. The processor 501 can call the logical instructions in the memory 503 to execute the steps of the control method of the washing device.

[0069] In addition, the logical instructions in the memory 503 can be implemented in the form of a software function unit and sold or used as an independent product, and can be stored in a computer readable storage medium. Based on such understanding, the technical solutions of the present application can be embodied in the form of a software product, and the computer software product is stored in a storage medium, and includes a plurality of instructions for causing a computer device (which can be a personal computer, a server, or a network device, etc.) to execute all or part of the steps of the various embodiment methods of the present application. The aforementioned storage medium includes: a U disk, a mobile hard disk, a read-only memory 503 (ROM, Read-Only Memory), a random access memory 503 (RAM, Random Access Memory), a magnetic disk or an optical disk, and various media that can store program codes.

[0070] On the other hand, the embodiment of the present application also provides a computer program product, which includes a computer program stored in a computer readable storage medium, and the computer program includes program instructions. When the program instructions are executed by a computer, the computer can execute the control method of the washing device provided by the above-mentioned method embodiments.
