[0022] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this embodiment. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this embodiment as detailed in the appended claims.
[0023] The following describes this embodiment in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and examples can be combined with each other.
[0024] First, a brief introduction will be given to the subject implementing the control method in this embodiment.
[0025] The control method in this embodiment is applied to a washing machine, which can be either a top-loading washing machine or a front-loading washing machine.
[0026] The washing machine includes an outer drum and a rotatable washing drum housed within the outer drum. The outer drum serves as a water container, and the washing drum serves as a clothes handling drum. The washing drum wall has water passage holes, allowing water to flow between the washing drum and the outer drum. The washing machine also includes a water inlet device, which supplies water from an external water supply line to the outer drum through an inlet pipe; the water inlet device may be, for example, an inlet valve.
[0027] The washing machine also includes a detergent dispenser and a spray system. The detergent dispenser contains detergent, and the spray system has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is connected to the inside of the detergent dispenser, and the outlet faces the inside of the washing drum, spraying detergent onto the drum. Specifically, the spray system uses high-pressure pre-mixing to draw in detergent, increasing the air content and creating rich foam. This foam is then sprayed onto the fabric surface, allowing it to penetrate the fabric fibers more easily. This improves detergent utilization and reduces detergent and water consumption.
[0028] The control method of this embodiment will be described in detail below.
[0029] This embodiment proposes a control method for a washing machine, referring to... Figure 1 The flowchart shows that the washing program of the washing machine includes a first pre-wash stage, and the control method includes the following steps: S11. Determine fabric property information; S12. Determine the rotation strategy of the washing drum and the spraying strategy of the spraying device based on the fabric property information; S13. In the first pre-wash stage, the water inlet to the washing drum is controlled to reach the pre-wash water level, the washing drum is controlled to operate according to the rotation strategy, and the spraying device is controlled to spray detergent onto the fabric in the washing drum according to the spraying strategy.
[0030] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 4 The flowchart shows that the washing program begins by determining the fabric properties, including fabric weight. The fabric weight is determined by weighing the fabric or by weight information input by the user. In other embodiments, the fabric property may also include fabric type, which can be input by the user or determined by acquiring fabric image information.
[0031] To increase the spray area of detergent foam on the fabric surface, sufficient spray space needs to be left inside the drum. However, different fabric properties result in different drum speed control methods for leaving sufficient space inside the drum, and the spray strategies adopted based on different speed control methods are also different.
[0032] Therefore, after determining the fabric properties, the washing drum rotation strategy and the spraying strategy of the spray device need to be determined based on the fabric properties. In the first pre-wash stage of the washing program, water is first filled into the washing drum to the pre-wash water level to wet the fabric, making it easier for the fabric to adhere to the drum wall during the drum rotation, thus leaving more space inside the drum. The pre-wash water level is the water level that can wet the clothes, and it is lower than the target water level of the washing program. In a preferred embodiment, the pre-wash water level is related to the fabric weight; the larger the fabric weight, the higher the corresponding pre-wash water level.
[0033] After the washing drum is filled with water to the pre-wash water level, a predetermined washing drum rotation strategy is used to control the rotation of the washing drum. This allows for a larger space in the washing drum to increase the spray area of the detergent on the fabric surface. At the same time, a predetermined spraying strategy is used to spray the detergent to obtain the optimal spraying effect, thereby further improving the utilization rate of the detergent and reducing the amount of detergent used and water consumed.
[0034] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 2 The flowchart describes how to determine the rotation strategy of the washing drum and the spraying strategy of the spraying device based on fabric property information, including the following steps: S21. Determine the load level and the first target rotation speed based on the fabric weight; S22. Determine the rotation mode of the washing drum at the first target speed and the timing of the spray device spraying detergent onto the fabric inside the washing drum according to the load level.
[0035] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 4The flowchart describes how, after determining the fabric weight, the load class corresponding to that weight is determined. In one example, there is a correspondence between fabric weight and load class; for instance, fabric weight between 0-5 kg belongs to the low load class, and greater than 5 kg belongs to the high load class. Different load classes correspond to different first target rotation speeds, which are the rotation speeds of the washing drum during the first pre-wash stage. When the washing drum rotates at this first target rotation speed, it allows for a larger space within the washing drum for the fabric of the corresponding load class.
[0036] In one example, the fabric weight and the first target rotation speed satisfy a preset correspondence.
[0037] Specifically, the first target speed corresponding to different fabric weights is determined by testing the state under different speeds of standard load, recording the optimal first target speed at different kilogram levels of standard load, and obtaining a fitting model between fabric weight and suitable first target speed. During actual operation, the actual fabric weight collected by the motor is used as the reference and substituted into the fitting curve to calculate the suitable first target speed. For example, the correspondence between fabric weight and first target speed is shown in the table below:
[0038] It should be noted that the fabric weight in the table above refers to the negative feedback generated by the motor's uneven load distribution when the motor drives the load inside the washing drum. This value is calculated by the motor control system. Generally, for a 7kg fabric load, the motor feedback fabric weight will be within a range of 345, and this range will not overlap with the fabric weight ranges corresponding to other kilogram levels. For example, if the range representing 7kg is [310, 360], then the parameters fed back by the motor within this range will all correspond to 7kg. Similarly, 30 corresponds to 1kg, 45 corresponds to 2kg, and so on.
[0039] Based on the variation pattern of fabric weight and first target rotation speed in the table above, and combined with... Figure 3 The fitting curve between rotational speed and fabric weight shows that the larger the fabric weight range, the higher the corresponding first target rotational speed. Determining the first target rotational speed based on fabric weight includes: determining the first target rotational speed according to a preset correspondence.
[0040] This is because when the fabric weight is at a low load level, due to the smaller amount of fabric, the washing drum only needs to rotate at a lower initial target speed to leave enough spray space inside the drum. However, when the fabric weight is at a high load level, the amount of fabric is larger, and the motor speed not only needs to keep the clothes close to the drum wall, but also requires greater centrifugal force to squeeze the fabric and leave enough space inside the drum. Therefore, the washing drum needs to rotate at a higher initial target speed to ensure that there is enough space in the center of the washing drum to spray detergent foam.
[0041] After determining the load level, by adopting an appropriate rotation strategy and spraying timing of the spraying device according to the load level and the first target speed of that load level, all-round spraying of the fabric can be achieved.
[0042] In one alternative embodiment, determining the rotation mode of the washing drum at the first target rotation speed and the timing of the spraying device spraying detergent onto the fabric inside the washing drum based on the load level includes: When the load level is less than or equal to the preset load level, the washing drum is controlled to rotate alternately in both directions at the first target speed, while the spraying device sprays detergent onto the fabric inside the washing drum.
[0043] This is because when the fabric weight is at a low load level, the fabric can be rotated against the wall at a lower first target speed. At this time, the spraying device sprays detergent foam onto the fabric surface. Then, the washing drum is controlled to reverse to shake the fabric. After that, the speed is increased to the first target speed so that the fabric is in the wall state again. During this process, the fabric is continuously sprayed, thus achieving all-round spraying of the fabric.
[0044] And / or, when the load level is greater than the preset load level, while controlling the washing drum to rotate in the preset direction at the first target speed, the spray device is controlled to spray detergent onto the fabric in the washing drum. After the spraying time reaches the preset time, the washing drum is controlled to slow down. During the slowdown process, the spray device is controlled to spray detergent onto the fabric in the washing drum again.
[0045] This is because, under high load conditions, the washing drum needs to rotate at a relatively high initial target speed to achieve fabric-to-drum rotation. However, achieving high speed with fabric present requires minimal eccentricity, which is difficult and time-consuming under high load conditions. Therefore, instead of reversing the rotation direction, the drum rotates in a preset direction (e.g., forward rotation) while the drum is already at the initial target speed. After the preset spray duration, the drum speed is reduced. During this reduction, the fabric expands due to decreased centrifugal force. By controlling the acceleration of the deceleration, the drum speed is gradually reduced, allowing the fabric to expand slowly. Spraying resumes during this deceleration process, delivering detergent foam to the areas where the fabric adheres to the drum, thus compensating to some extent for the inability to reverse the rotation.
[0046] In a preferred embodiment, controlling the spray device to spray detergent onto the fabric inside the washing drum again during the deceleration process includes: after the washing drum decelerates to a preset speed, controlling the spray device to spray detergent onto the fabric inside the washing drum again.
[0047] This is because, at the beginning of the speed reduction, the fabric inside the drum is not yet loosened, and the detergent foam cannot be sprayed onto the parts of the fabric compressed by the high-speed rotation. When the drum speed decreases to the preset speed, the fabric becomes more loose, and at this point, the detergent foam can be sprayed onto the parts of the fabric compressed by the high-speed rotation. Spraying continues after the preset spin-drying speed is reached until the drum speed decreases to 0, or spraying occurs while the drum maintains the preset speed.
[0048] The preset speed is related to the diameter of the washing drum. For example, for a washing machine with a drum diameter of 542mm, when the washing drum speed is lower than 60 rpm, the fabric will no longer stick to the drum. Therefore, the preset speed is less than or equal to 60 rpm, and the process from 60 rpm to 0 rpm sprays the fabric.
[0049] In one optional embodiment, the control method further includes: the total spraying time of the spray device in the first pre-wash stage is related to the fabric weight, and the total spraying time corresponding to the larger the fabric weight range is is longer. This is because the larger the fabric weight, the larger the amount of detergent required, and correspondingly the larger the total spraying time in the first pre-wash stage. For low load levels, the total spraying time is the total spraying time during the alternating forward and reverse rotation of the washing drum. For high load levels, the total spraying time is the sum of the spraying time when the washing drum rotates at a preset speed and the spraying time during the deceleration process of the washing drum.
[0050] In one optional embodiment, the detergent washing program further includes a second pre-wash stage, and the control method further includes executing the second pre-wash stage after the first pre-wash stage ends. The second pre-wash stage includes a first tumbling process, a spraying process, and a second tumbling process executed sequentially. The first tumbling process is a process of controlling the washing drum to rotate alternately in both directions at a second target speed; the spraying process is a process of spraying detergent onto the fabric inside the washing drum while the washing drum is stationary; the second tumbling process is a process of controlling the washing drum to rotate alternately in both directions at a third target speed; wherein: the second target speed < the first target speed, and the third target speed < the first target speed.
[0051] Specifically, in combination Figure 4The flowchart illustrates that after the first pre-wash stage, water is not immediately introduced; instead, a first tumbling process is performed. During this first tumbling process, the washing drum is controlled to rotate forward and backward at a second target speed to tumble the fabric, allowing the detergent on the fabric surface to be forced into the fabric fibers. After the first tumbling process reaches a first set time, a spraying process begins. During this spraying process, the washing drum remains stationary, increasing the amount of detergent on the fabric surface and improving the washing effect. After the spraying process reaches a second set time, a second tumbling process begins. During this second tumbling process, the washing drum is controlled to rotate forward and backward at a third target speed to tumble the fabric again, further penetrating the sprayed detergent into the fabric fibers. After the third set time, the second tumbling process ends.
[0052] The second target rotational speed in the first tumbling process and the third target rotational speed in the second tumbling process can be the same or different. Since the fabric does not need to adhere to the wall in the first and second tumbling processes, both the second and third target rotational speeds are lower than the first target rotational speed.
[0053] After the second pre-wash stage, water is added to the washing drum to the target water level before the formal washing process begins. The target water level is determined based on the weight of the fabric. The formal washing process is the standard washing procedure, such as controlling the inner drum to rotate alternately in both directions at a preset washing speed and for a preset washing time.
[0054] This embodiment can significantly improve the actual utilization rate of detergent, reduce detergent residue on the fabric surface, and reduce the rinsing time of subsequent rinsing processes through such a premixed spraying method. At the same time, it can also greatly reduce the water consumption of the washing process, making it more energy-saving and water-saving.
