Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of clothing processing equipment, specifically, it relates to a control method for clothing processing equipment and clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Clothing processing equipment, as a common household appliance, brings great convenience to people's lives. With the continuous progress of society, the control programs of clothing processing equipment are becoming more and more diversified. Therefore, it is also required that the control of clothing processing equipment become more and more intelligent and user-friendly.

[0003] When using garment processing equipment to wash clothes, it's necessary to set the washing time and water level according to the quantity and degree of soiling of the clothes to achieve the best washing results. Currently, garment processing equipment offers many washing modes for users to choose from, but fixed washing modes still cannot meet users' laundry needs.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. The first objective of the present invention is to provide a control method for a clothing processing device, which forms a custom program by arranging and combining different programs to create washing programs suitable for different usage scenarios. At the same time, it can remove unnecessary program modules, meet the personalized needs of users, and improve the user experience.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A method for controlling a garment processing device, comprising,

[0008] Start editing the program;

[0009] Obtain program modules, wherein the program modules are programs that are individually packaged according to different functions;

[0010] Arrange and combine at least two program modules to form a new custom program.

[0011] Preferably, the arrangement of at least two program modules includes at least one of the following: adding program modules, removing program modules, or moving program modules within the custom program.

[0012] A method for controlling a garment processing device, comprising,

[0013] Start editing the program;

[0014] Retrieve the preset program template;

[0015] Add or remove program modules from the program template, where each program module is a program individually packaged according to different functions;

[0016] Save to create a new custom program;

[0017] Preferably, the custom program can be copied.

[0018] Preferably, at least one program module in the custom program has at least two subroutine modules, wherein the subroutine modules are subroutines that are individually encapsulated according to different functions, and the at least two subroutine modules can be arranged and combined.

[0019] Preferably, the arrangement of at least two subroutine modules includes at least one of the following: adding subroutine modules, removing subroutine modules, or moving the position of subroutine modules within the program modules.

[0020] Preferably, the control method of the garment processing equipment includes: if the custom program meets the preset conditions, then the custom program is saved to the garment processing equipment;

[0021] Preferably, the preset conditions include at least the file format of the custom program.

[0022] Preferably, before determining that the custom program meets the preset conditions, the process includes:

[0023] The system obtains the operating status of the garment processing equipment. If the equipment is in standby mode, it receives the custom program.

[0024] If the garment processing equipment is determined to be in operation, then the reception of custom programs will be stopped.

[0025] Preferably, the feature is that, after determining that the custom program meets preset conditions, it includes:

[0026] The display processing module and logic control module of the garment processing equipment parse the custom program respectively, compare the information parsed by the display processing module and the logic control module, and if the comparison is successful, save the custom program; otherwise, send an error message for the custom program.

[0027] Preferably, the method for obtaining the program module includes,

[0028] Obtained via a remote terminal connected to the garment processing equipment;

[0029] Alternatively, it can be obtained from the local terminal of the garment processing equipment.

[0030] The second objective of this invention is to provide a garment processing device that applies a control method for garment processing equipment.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

[0032] In this invention, a custom program is formed by permutation and combination, thereby creating washing programs suitable for different usage scenarios, meeting users' personalized needs, and improving the user experience; in addition, the permutation and combination method can remove unnecessary program modules, ensuring washing effect while saving energy to the maximum extent.

[0033] In this invention, at least one program module in the custom program has at least two subroutine modules. The subroutine modules are subroutines that are individually encapsulated according to different functions. The at least two subroutine modules can be arranged and combined to accurately combine different subroutine modules, ensuring that users can accurately handle different types of clothing or different stains, thereby improving user processing efficiency and user engagement and satisfaction.

[0034] In this invention, before determining that the custom program meets the preset conditions, the process includes obtaining the operating status of the clothing processing equipment. If the clothing processing equipment is in standby mode, the custom program is received. If the clothing processing equipment is in working mode, the process stops receiving the custom program. This avoids the situation where the current operation of the clothing processing equipment is forcibly interrupted when the clothing processing equipment is in working mode, which could damage the clothing processing equipment and extend the service life of the clothing processing equipment.

[0035] In this invention, if a custom program is determined to meet preset conditions, it is saved to the garment processing equipment, which further ensures the security of the custom program, ensures that no malfunctions occur during the operation of the garment processing equipment, improves the stability and reliability of the garment processing equipment, and enhances the intelligent control of the garment processing equipment.

[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0045] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a control method for a garment processing device, wherein the executing entity is the garment processing device, and the control method for the garment processing device includes,

[0047] Start editing the program;

[0048] The program module is a program that is individually packaged according to different functions. The different functions refer to various functions in the operation stage of the garment processing equipment. Those skilled in the art will understand that the various functions include, but are not limited to, weighing, pre-washing, main washing, rinsing, softening, dehydration and anti-wrinkle functions.

[0049] Arranging and combining at least two program modules to form a new custom program can be understood as arranging and combining at least two program modules based on the preset standards of the clothing processing equipment. The preset standards of the clothing processing equipment refer to the standards set by the clothing processing equipment that can be executed without damaging the clothing processing equipment.

[0050] Specifically, each program module represents a different function, and necessary connections are established between the program modules. Through the mutual cooperation between the program modules, a custom program with all the functions of each program module is formed.

[0051] In this invention, a custom program is formed by permutation and combination, thereby creating washing programs suitable for different usage scenarios, meeting users' personalized needs, and improving the user experience. In addition, the permutation and combination method can remove unnecessary program modules, ensuring washing effect while saving energy to the maximum extent. It also enables users to accurately handle different types of clothes or different stains, improving user processing efficiency and enhancing user participation and satisfaction.

[0052] Preferably, the method for obtaining the program module includes,

[0053] The data can be obtained through a remote terminal connected to the garment processing equipment, or through the local terminal of the garment processing equipment. The local terminal of the garment processing equipment includes at least one of the following: an internal storage module of the garment processing equipment and an external data storage disk plugged into the local terminal. Preferably, the external data storage disk includes a USB flash drive.

[0054] Specifically, as one way for users to obtain custom programs, the clothing processing equipment is equipped with a storage module, through which users can set custom programs. Preferably, the storage module includes a control panel.

[0055] As another way for users to obtain custom programs, the difference from the solution where users obtain custom programs through the storage module is that the clothing processing equipment is equipped with a communication module and interacts with a remote terminal through a server. The communication module is preferably a Wi-Fi module. Users set up custom programs through a remote terminal, which can be understood to include a web page, client, or APP.

[0056] As another implementation method for users to obtain custom programs, a remote terminal and another garment processing device can interact through a server. The remote terminal obtains the custom program stored in the other garment processing device, and the user transfers the custom program obtained by the remote terminal from the other garment processing device to the garment processing device through an external data storage disk. Preferably, the external data storage disk includes a USB flash drive.

[0057] As another implementation method for users to obtain custom programs, users can obtain custom programs stored in another garment processing device via an external data storage disk, and then transfer the custom programs stored in the other garment processing device to the garment processing device. It is understood that garment processing devices include, but are not limited to, washing machines, which are equipped with USB ports for convenient insertion of external data storage disks by users. Preferably, the external data storage disk includes a USB flash drive.

[0058] Preferably, the arrangement of at least two program modules includes at least one of the following: adding program modules, removing program modules, or moving program modules within the custom program.

[0059] Specifically, adding a program module refers to adding another program module at a different location from at least two existing program modules to expand new functionality; removing a program module refers to removing unnecessary program modules; moving the position of a program module in a custom program refers to adjusting the execution order of program modules in the custom program to change the execution order or optimize execution performance. It is understood that the different locations include any position between adjacent program modules.

[0060] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the present invention provides a control method for a garment processing device, wherein the executing entity is the garment processing device, and the control method for the garment processing device includes,

[0061] Start editing the program;

[0062] Retrieve the preset program template;

[0063] Add or remove program modules from the program template, where each program module is a program individually packaged according to different functions;

[0064] Save to create a new custom program;

[0065] Each program module represents a different function, and necessary connections are established between the program modules. By adjusting the program modules in the program template, a new custom program is formed, which has the functions corresponding to each program module in the template.

[0066] Preferably, the custom program can be copied. This means that the user can copy the custom program and apply it to other garment processing devices.

[0067] Preferably, at least one program module in the custom program has at least two subroutine modules. These subroutine modules are individually encapsulated based on different functions, and the at least two subroutine modules can be arranged and combined. This allows for precise combination of different subroutine modules, ensuring accurate processing based on different types of clothing or different stain conditions, improving user efficiency, engagement, and satisfaction. It is understood that the ability to arrange and combine at least two subroutine modules is also based on the preset standards of the clothing processing equipment, which have already been explained above and will not be elaborated upon further here.

[0068] Specifically, each subroutine module represents a different function, and the subroutine modules are connected to form a program module, which has the functions corresponding to each subroutine module.

[0069] The arrangement of at least two subroutine modules includes at least one of the following: adding subroutine modules, removing subroutine modules, and moving the positions of subroutine modules within the program modules. It is understood that the arrangement of at least two subroutine modules is the same as the arrangement of at least two program modules described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0070] Preferably, the program module includes at least two of the following: a weighing program, a pre-wash program, a main wash program, a rinsing program, a softening program, a dehydration program, and an anti-wrinkle program, and the program modules are arranged and combined to form a new custom program.

[0071] Taking the pre-wash program, which includes multiple sub-program modules, as an example, the pre-wash program includes sub-program modules for water intake, washing, drainage, spin drying, and tumbling. The main wash program consists of at least two sub-program modules arranged and combined.

[0072] Specifically, the entire pre-wash process works as follows: The garment handling equipment automatically adjusts the water intake according to the preset water level or the weight of the clothes, injecting an appropriate amount of water into the garment handling equipment through the water inlet valve. After the water is injected, the garment handling equipment starts the stirring or rotating function to fully mix the clothes with water and detergent to form a washing liquid. Through physical friction and chemical action, stains on the surface of the clothes are removed. After the preset washing time is completed, the garment handling equipment automatically switches to the drainage mode and uses the drain pump to discharge the washing water containing stains out of the garment handling equipment. After the drainage is completed, the inner drum of the washing machine rotates at high speed, using centrifugal force to shake out the residual water in the clothes, reducing the water content of the clothes. Spin-drying helps to speed up the subsequent drying speed and also helps to further remove some stains. After the spin-drying is completed, the garment handling equipment performs a shaking operation, loosening the clothes by slightly vibrating or changing the movement trajectory of the inner drum.

[0073] Preferably, the control method of the garment processing equipment includes: if the custom program meets the preset conditions, the custom program is saved to the garment processing equipment, which further ensures the security of the custom program, ensures that no malfunctions occur during the operation of the garment processing equipment, improves the stability and reliability of the garment processing equipment, and enhances the intelligent control of the garment processing equipment.

[0074] Preferably, the preset conditions include at least the file format of the custom program and the legality of the content of the custom program.

[0075] Preferably, each sub-program module of the program module is provided with corresponding program parameters, which include at least the washing water level and / or washing temperature and / or washing time and / or washing motor speed during washing and / or rinsing times and / or rinsing time and / or spin-drying speed and / or spin-drying time and / or automatic addition of detergent and / or automatic addition of fabric softener.

[0076] The file format of the custom program refers to the file format that the garment processing equipment can recognize. The legality of the custom program content means that the various program parameters set in the subroutine module can be executed by the garment processing equipment, avoiding significant damage to the equipment due to unreasonable program parameters. For example, if the maximum speed of the garment processing equipment's motor is 2000 rpm, and the user-set custom program speed is 2500 rpm, the garment processing equipment will not be able to execute it. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether the program parameters sent by the user meet the preset conditions.

[0077] Preferably, before determining that the custom program meets the preset conditions, the process includes:

[0078] The system obtains the operating status of the garment processing equipment. If the equipment is in standby mode, it receives the custom program.

[0079] Specifically, when the garment processing device is in standby mode, it means that the garment processing device is not currently performing any washing tasks or that the previous task has been completely completed. In this case, the custom program is invoked, or the custom program is stored inside the garment processing device.

[0080] If the system determines that the garment processing equipment is in operation, meaning it is currently performing another washing task, then it will stop accepting custom programs. This prevents damage to the garment processing equipment caused by forcibly interrupting its current operation, thus extending its lifespan.

[0081] Understandably, stopping the reception of custom programs means controlling the garment handling equipment to continue executing the current washing program until the current washing program is completed before receiving custom programs; or it means refusing to receive custom programs.

[0082] Preferably, after determining that the custom program meets the preset conditions, the process includes:

[0083] The display processing module and logic control module of the garment processing equipment parse the custom program respectively, compare the information parsed by the display processing module and the logic control module, and if the comparison is successful, save the custom program; otherwise, send an error message for the custom program.

[0084] Specifically, the garment processing equipment can verify custom programs. The garment processing equipment is equipped with a display processing module and a logic control module. The two modules extract the information parsed from the custom program respectively. After extraction, the two modules compare the extracted information, that is, compare the name of the custom program, the order and name of at least two program modules in the custom program, and the order and name of the subroutine modules in at least two program modules. If the above information is correct, it means that the custom program has been verified correctly.

[0085] The present invention also provides a garment processing device that applies a control method for garment processing equipment.

[0086] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. The implementation schemes in the above embodiments can also be further combined or replaced. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
