[0060] Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.
[0061] Because car-mounted washing machines consume a large amount of water during their washing programs, they cannot meet the water needs of the washing machine when the car is in a water-scarce environment. To address this technical problem, this application proposes a water system and control method for a car-mounted washing machine, wherein the car-mounted washing machine includes a water inlet and a drain, and the water system includes:
[0062] The rinse water recovery tank is connected to the drain section to recover the rinse water from the vehicle washing machine. The rinse water recovery tank is also connected to the water inlet section to supply water to the vehicle washing machine.
[0063] A water purification module, which includes a rinse water purification device for purifying water flowing into and / or flowing out of a rinse water recycling tank.
[0064] A control device is configured to control the water supply method during the target washing stage based on at least one of the first water volume in the clean water tank and the second water volume in the rinse water recovery tank, and a preset water consumption for the target washing stage.
[0065] This embodiment achieves the recycling of rinse water from the vehicle-mounted washing machine by setting up a rinse water recycling tank, and purifies the water flowing into and / or out of the rinse water recycling tank by setting up a water purification module. This enables the rinse water recycling tank to supply water to the vehicle-mounted washing machine for the next washing and / or rinsing stage, improving the utilization rate of rinse water, saving water resources, and meeting the water needs of the vehicle-mounted washing machine even when the car is in an area with scarce water resources.
[0066] The technical solution of this embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following implementation methods and examples can be combined with each other.
[0067] This embodiment provides a water system for a vehicle-mounted washing machine 5. This water system is applied to a car. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 9 The vehicle includes a clean water tank 1 capable of supplying water to the in-vehicle washing machine 5. Users can pre-store clean water in the clean water tank 1 for later use. Preferably, the clean water tank 1 is positioned higher than the water inlet, allowing water to be supplied to the in-vehicle washing machine 5 by gravity. The clean water tank 1 is equipped with a first water level detection device to detect the initial water level in the clean water tank 1.
[0068] The vehicle-mounted washing machine 5 includes a water inlet and a drain. (See reference...) Figure 1 The water inlet section includes a water inlet pipe. One end of the water inlet pipe is connected to the clean water tank 1 via a clean water supply pipe 11, and the other end is connected to the detergent dispenser 52 of the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5. The outlet of the detergent dispenser 52 is connected to the outer drum 51 of the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5, allowing water flowing into the inlet pipe to pass through the detergent dispenser 52 and into the outer drum 51 of the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5. The water inlet pipe is equipped with an inlet valve to control the water flow from the water inlet pipe into the detergent dispenser 52.
[0069] The drainage section includes a drain pipe that connects to the drain outlet of the outer drum 51 for draining water from the vehicle washing machine 5. The drainage section also includes a drain valve or a drain pump. The drain valve is located at the drain outlet for opening and closing the drain outlet, and the drain pump is located at the drain outlet for pumping water from the outer drum 51 out of the outer drum 51 through the drain pipe.
[0070] The water system includes a rinse water recovery tank 2, a water purification module, and a control device. The rinse water recovery tank 2 is connected to the drainage section to recover the rinse water from the vehicle washing machine 5. The rinse water recovery tank 2 is also connected to the water inlet section to supply water to the vehicle washing machine 5.
[0071] Specifically, refer to Figure 1The rinse water recovery tank 2 has a first rinse water inlet 22 and a first rinse water outlet 24. The first rinse water inlet 22 is connected to the drain pipe via a first pipe 56, and rinse water flows into the rinse water recovery tank 2 through the drain pipe and the first pipe 56. The first rinse water outlet 24 is connected to the water inlet pipe of the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5 via a purified water recovery pipe 21. Preferably, the rinse water recovery tank 2 is located below the outer drum 51, and the rinse water in the outer drum 51 can flow into the rinse water recovery tank 2 under the action of gravity through the drain pipe and the first pipe 56. The purified water recovery pipe 21 is equipped with a water pump, and the water in the rinse water recovery tank 2 is pumped into the water inlet to supply water to the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5. The rinse water recovery tank 2 is equipped with a second water volume detection device for detecting the second water volume in the rinse water recovery tank 2.
[0072] In other possible implementations, the rinse water recovery tank 2 can be located above the water inlet. The water in the rinse water recovery tank 2 can supply water to the vehicle washing machine 5 under the action of gravity. The drain outlet of the vehicle washing machine 5 is equipped with a drain pump, which transports the rinse water in the outer drum 51 to the rinse water recovery tank 2.
[0073] The water purification module includes a rinse water purification device 31, which is used to purify the water flowing into and / or flowing out of the rinse water recovery tank 2 so that the water provided by the rinse water recovery tank 2 meets the water quality requirements of the vehicle washing machine 5 and / or other water-using devices other than the vehicle washing machine.
[0074] In one example, the rinse water purification device 31 is installed at the first rinse water inlet 22 or the first pipeline 56 to purify the rinse water entering the rinse water recovery tank 2.
[0075] In another example, the rinse water purification device 31 is installed at the first rinse water outlet 24 to purify the rinse water flowing out of the rinse water recovery tank 2.
[0076] In another example, the rinse water purification device 31 includes a first rinse water purification unit 311 and a second rinse water purification unit 312. The first rinse water purification unit 311 is located at the first rinse water inlet 22 or the first pipeline 56, and the second rinse water purification unit 312 is located at the first rinse water outlet 24. This allows for the purification of both the water entering and leaving the rinse water recovery tank 2, thereby improving the cleanliness of the water leaving the rinse water recovery tank 2. Preferably, the purification capacity of the second rinse water purification unit 312 is greater than that of the first rinse water purification unit 311.
[0077] The control device is configured to control the water supply method during the laundry process based on at least one of the first water volume in the clean water tank 1 and the second water volume in the rinse water recovery tank 2, along with a preset water consumption for the target laundry stage. The target laundry stage includes a washing stage and / or a rinsing stage. When the target laundry stage is the washing stage, the preset water consumption is the washing water consumption; when the target laundry stage is the rinsing stage, the preset water consumption is the rinsing water consumption; and when the target laundry stage includes both the washing and rinsing stages, the preset water consumption is the total water consumption for both stages.
[0078] Since both the clean water tank 1 and the rinse water recovery tank 2 can supply water to the vehicle washing machine 5, the water levels in both tanks will affect the water supply to the washing machine 5. For example, if the initial water level in the clean water tank 1 is insufficient to meet the preset water consumption of the target washing stage of the vehicle washing machine 5, the rinse water recovery tank 2 can provide auxiliary water supply for the target washing stage. Alternatively, if the second water level in the rinse water recovery tank 2 is insufficient to meet the preset water consumption of the target washing stage, the clean water tank 1 can provide auxiliary water supply for the target washing stage.
[0079] In addition, different water supply methods can be selected for different washing stages. For example, the washing stage, which has lower requirements for water cleanliness, can be supplied with water through the rinse water recovery tank 2, while the rinsing stage, which has higher requirements for water cleanliness, can be supplied with water through the clean water tank 1.
[0080] Furthermore, different water supply methods can be selected based on the location of the car. For example, when the car is located in an area with relatively scarce water resources, water can be supplied to both the washing and rinsing stages through the rinse water recycling tank 2; when the car is located in an area with abundant water resources, water can be supplied to both the washing and rinsing stages through the clean water tank 1.
[0081] Therefore, this embodiment sets up a rinse water recycling tank 2 and a water purification module, and controls the water supply method of the target washing stage based on at least one of the first water storage volume of the clean water tank 1 and the second water storage volume of the rinse water recycling tank 2 and the preset water consumption of the target washing stage. This can achieve a reasonable allocation of water resources in the car, ensuring the cleanliness of clothes while meeting the water demand of the car washing machine 5. Even in areas with scarce water resources, the use of the car washing machine 5 will not be affected.
[0082] In one example, if the second water level is less than the preset water consumption, it means that the water in the rinse water recovery tank 2 cannot meet the water demand of the target washing stage. In this case, during the target washing stage, the rinse water recovery tank 2 is first controlled to supply water to the vehicle washing machine 5. When the water level in the rinse water recovery tank 2 drops to the first preset water level, the clean water tank 1 is then controlled to supply auxiliary water to the vehicle washing machine 5. For example, the first preset water level is, for example, the minimum water level of the rinse water recovery tank 2, which is, for example, 0.
[0083] If the second water storage capacity is greater than or equal to the preset water consumption, it indicates that the water in the rinse water recovery tank 2 can meet the water demand of the target washing stage. In this case, during the target washing stage, the rinse water recovery tank 2 can supply water solely to the vehicle washing machine 5, without using clean water. This reduces the amount of clean water used, allowing more clean water to be supplied to other water-using devices in the vehicle that have higher water quality requirements. This water supply method can be implemented in water-scarce application scenarios.
[0084] In one example, if the initial water level is less than the preset water consumption, it indicates that the water in the clean water tank 1 cannot meet the water demand of the target washing stage. In this case, during the target washing stage, the clean water tank 1 is first controlled to supply water to the vehicle washing machine 5. When the water level in the clean water tank 1 drops to the second preset water level, the rinse water recovery tank 2 is then controlled to supply auxiliary water to the vehicle washing machine 5. For example, the second preset water level is, for instance, the minimum water level in the clean water tank 1, which may be, for example, 0.
[0085] If the initial water level is greater than or equal to the preset water consumption, it indicates that the water in the clean water tank 1 can meet the water demand of the target washing stage. In this case, the clean water tank 1 will supply water solely to the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5 during the target washing stage to improve the cleanliness of the clothes. This water supply method can be implemented in application scenarios where water resources are abundant.
[0086] Reference Figure 3 The process flow diagram for rinsing water treatment is as follows: After the rinsing stage, the rinsing water in the outer drum 51 flows into the first rinsing water purification unit 311. After the rinsing water is cleaned of lint and other impurities by the first rinsing water purification unit 311, it flows into the rinsing water recovery tank 2. The rinsing water in the rinsing water recovery tank 2 flows into the second rinsing water purification unit 312. After the rinsing water is purified by the second rinsing water purification unit 312, it flows into the water inlet of the vehicle washing machine 5.
[0087] In one alternative implementation, the water system further includes a purified water drain pipe 26, and the rinse water recovery tank 2 is connected to the purified water drain pipe 26 to supply water to water-using devices other than the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5 through the purified water drain pipe 26.
[0088] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 9The rinse water recycling tank 2 is also provided with a second rinse water outlet 25, and the purified water drain pipe 26 is connected to the rinse water recycling tank 2 through the second rinse water outlet 25. Water-using devices other than the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5 include, for example, a handwashing sink 4 and / or a water dispenser 7. The purified water drain pipe 26 is connected to the faucet of the handwashing sink 4 and / or to the water dispenser 7.
[0089] Reference Figure 1 In the case where the rinsing water purification device 31 includes a first rinsing water purification unit 311 and a second rinsing water purification unit 312, and the first rinsing water purification unit 311 purifies the water flowing into the rinsing water recovery tank 2, and the second rinsing water purification unit 312 purifies the water flowing out of the rinsing water recovery tank 2, the second rinsing water purification unit 312 is positioned to cover the first rinsing water outlet 24 and the second rinsing water outlet 25, thereby enabling the second rinsing water purification unit 312 to purify the water flowing out of both the first rinsing water outlet 24 and the second rinsing water outlet 25.
[0090] This embodiment enables the rinsing water recycling tank 2 to supply water to water-using devices other than the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5 by setting up a clean water drain pipe 26, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the rinsing water recycled in the rinsing water recycling tank 2 and further saving water resources.
[0091] In one optional implementation, the rinse water recovery tank 2 includes a first storage chamber 27 and a second storage chamber 28, both of which are connected to the drain section. Rinse water discharged from the outer drum 51 of the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5 can be controlled to flow into either the first storage chamber 27 or the second storage chamber 28. For example, the first rinse water inlet 22 includes an inlet to the first storage chamber 27 and an inlet to the second storage chamber 28, and the inlets to the first and second storage chambers 28 are connected to the outlet of the first pipe 56 via a three-way valve.
[0092] The turbidity of the rinse water in the first storage chamber 27 is greater than that in the second storage chamber 28. The first storage chamber 27 is connected to the water inlet to supply water to the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5, that is, the first rinse water outlet 24 is located in the first storage chamber 27.
[0093] The second storage chamber 28 is connected to the purified water drain pipe 26 to supply water to water-using devices other than the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5 through the purified water drain pipe 26; that is, the second rinse water outlet 25 is located in the second storage chamber 28. The arrangement of the first storage chamber 27 and the second storage chamber 28 is not limited; in a preferred embodiment, refer to… Figure 1 The first storage cavity 27 is located above the second storage cavity 28 to reduce the piping layout.
[0094] The vehicle-mounted washing machine 5 also includes a first turbidity detection device, which is installed in the first pipeline and is used to detect the turbidity of the water flowing into the rinse water recovery tank 2. The control device is also configured to control the flow of rinse water into the first storage chamber 27 or the second storage chamber 28 based on the first turbidity of the rinse water flowing into the rinse water recovery tank 2.
[0095] Specifically, since the turbidity value of the rinse water is related to the degree of soiling of the clothes, the amount of detergent used, and the number of rinses, the higher the turbidity value of the rinse water, the higher the turbidity value of the water purified by the rinse water purification device 31 will be. Therefore, in this embodiment, by setting the rinse water recovery tank 2 as a first storage chamber 27 and a second storage chamber 28, water with a higher turbidity value and water with a lower turbidity value are stored separately, so that water from different storage chambers can be used to supply water to different water supply objects according to their water quality requirements.
[0096] In a preferred embodiment, the control device is further configured to, when the first turbidity is greater than a first preset turbidity, control the rinsing water of the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5 to flow into the first storage chamber 27, so as to supply water to a water supply object with a lower turbidity requirement. When the first turbidity is less than or equal to the first preset turbidity, control the rinsing water of the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5 to flow into the second storage chamber 28, so as to supply water to a water supply object with a higher turbidity requirement.
[0097] For example, if the water quality requirement of the vehicle washing machine 5 is lower than that of the sink 4 and the water dispenser 7, then the water in the first storage chamber 27 is used to supply water to the vehicle washing machine 5, and the water in the second storage chamber 28 is used to supply water to the sink 4 and the water dispenser 7.
[0098] In a preferred embodiment, the rinse water purification device 31 includes a first rinse water purification section 311 and a second rinse water purification section 312. The first rinse water purification section 311 is positioned to purify the water flowing out of the rinse water recovery tank 2. For example, the first rinse water purification section 311 is located outside the rinse water recovery tank 2 and is situated in the first pipeline.
[0099] The second rinse water purification unit 312 is positioned to purify the water flowing into the rinse water recovery tank 2. For example, the second rinse water purification unit 312 is located at the inlet end of the purified water recovery pipe 21. For example, the second rinse water purification unit 312 is located inside the rinse water recovery tank 2 and covers all rinse water outlets of the rinse water recovery tank 2.
[0100] This embodiment improves the purification level of the recycled rinse water by setting up a first rinse water purification unit 311 and a second rinse water purification unit 312 with different purification capabilities, thereby better ensuring the water quality requirements of the rinse water recycling tank 2.
[0101] In one alternative implementation, the water system further includes a washing water recovery tank 6, which is connected to the drain section to recover the washing water from the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5. The washing water recovery tank 6 is also connected to the rinse water inlet to supply water to the rinse water recovery tank 2.
[0102] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 The washing water recovery tank 6 is provided with a washing water inlet 61 and a first washing water outlet 62. The first washing water inlet 61 is connected to the drain pipe through the second pipe 57. The washing water from the vehicle washing machine 5 flows into the washing water recovery tank 6 through the drain pipe and the second pipe 57. For example, the drain pipe, the first pipe 56, and the second pipe 57 are connected through a transfer valve 58. The control device can control the transfer valve 58 to connect the drain pipe to the first pipe 56 or to the second pipe 57.
[0103] The rinse water recovery tank 2 is also provided with a second rinse water inlet 23, which is connected to the first wash water outlet 62. Due to the poor quality of the wash water, when the rinse water recovery tank 2 includes a first storage chamber 27 and a second storage chamber 28, and the turbidity of the water in the first storage chamber 27 is greater than that of the water in the second storage chamber 28, the wash water recovery tank 6 is connected to the first storage chamber 27.
[0104] Preferably, the washing water recovery tank 6 is located below the outer drum 51. The washing water in the outer drum 51 can flow into the washing water recovery tank 6 through the drain pipe and the second pipe 57 under the action of gravity. The washing water recovery tank 6 and the rinsing water recovery tank 2 are arranged side by side. A water pump is installed on the connecting pipe between the second rinsing water inlet 23 and the first washing water outlet 62. The water in the washing water recovery tank 6 is sent into the rinsing water recovery tank 2 under the power of the water pump.
[0105] The water purification module also includes a washing water purification device 32, which is used to purify the water flowing from the washing water recovery tank 6 to the rinsing water recovery tank 2. The washing water purification device 32 is located at the first washing water outlet 62, or on the connecting pipe between the second rinsing water inlet 23 and the first washing water outlet 62.
[0106] In this embodiment, a washing water recovery tank 6 is set up, and the water in the washing water recovery tank 6 is filtered by the washing water purification device 32 and then transported to the rinsing water recovery tank 2 to supply water to the rinsing water recovery tank 2, so as to meet the water quality requirements of the water supplied to the rinsing water recovery tank 2.
[0107] In a preferred embodiment, the washing water purification device 32 includes a plurality of washing water purification units, which are arranged sequentially along the water flow direction between the washing water recovery tank 6 and the rinsing water recovery tank 2, and the purification capacity of the plurality of washing water purification units increases progressively in the water flow direction between the washing water recovery tank 6 and the rinsing water recovery tank 2.
[0108] In one example, refer to Figure 2 The washing water purification device 32 is installed on the connecting pipe between the second rinsing water inlet 23 and the first washing water outlet 62. The washing water purification device 32 includes a first washing water purification section 321 and a second washing water purification section 322. The first washing water purification section 321 is located downstream of the second washing water purification section 322 in the water flow direction, and the purification capacity of the first washing water purification section 321 is greater than that of the second washing water purification section 322.
[0109] This embodiment achieves multi-stage filtration of the poor-quality wash water in the wash water recovery tank 6 by setting up multiple wash water purification units with progressively increasing purification capacity, thereby further improving the water quality delivered to the rinse water recovery tank 2.
[0110] In one alternative implementation, the water system further includes a sewage drain pipe 64, and the wash water recovery tank 6 is connected to the sewage drain pipe 64 to discharge unpurified wash water from the wash water recovery tank 6. (See reference...) Figure 1 The washing water recycling tank 6 is equipped with a second washing water outlet 63, and the sewage drain pipe 64 is connected to the second washing water outlet 63. The unpurified washing water discharged from the sewage drain pipe 64 can be directly discharged into the external environment or used to flush the toilet located in the car.
[0111] The control device is also configured to control the flow path of the washing water in the washing water recovery tank 6 based on the second turbidity of the washing water in the washing water recovery tank 6, the first water volume in the clean water tank 1, and / or the second water volume in the rinse water recovery tank 2. The flow path of the washing water in the washing water recovery tank 6 includes: flowing from the washing water recovery tank 6 to the washing water purification device 32, or flowing from the washing water recovery tank 6 to the sewage drain pipe 64. The second turbidity of the washing water in the washing water recovery tank 6 can be determined by a second turbidity detection device installed in the outer drum 51 of the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5, or by a second turbidity detection value installed in the washing water recovery tank 6.
[0112] Because the washing water contains detergent, dirt, sand, lint, etc., the water quality is poor. If the poor-quality washing water is purified by the washing water purification device 32 before being introduced into the rinse water recovery tank 2, it will increase the burden on the washing water purification device 32 and reduce its service life. In addition, the water levels in both the clean water tank 1 and the rinse water recovery tank 2 will affect the water supply to the vehicle washing machine 5. Therefore, this embodiment combines the second turbidity of the washing water in the washing water recovery tank 6, the first water level in the clean water tank 1, and / or the second water level in the rinse water recovery tank 2 to control the flow path within the washing water recovery tank 6. This further enables the rational allocation of water resources in the vehicle, ensuring the cleanliness of the clothes while meeting the water demand of the vehicle washing machine 5. Even in water-scarce areas, the use of the vehicle washing machine 5 will not be affected.
[0113] In one example, the control device is also configured to: when the second turbidity is greater than the second preset turbidity, it indicates that the quality of the washing water in the washing water recovery tank 6 is poor, and it is difficult for the washing water purification device 32 to purify it to meet the water quality requirements of the rinsing water recovery tank 2, and it will cause greater damage to the purification capacity of the washing water purification device 32. Therefore, the washing water with a turbidity greater than the second preset turbidity can be directly discharged through the sewage drain pipe 64.
[0114] Alternatively, if the sum of the first water storage volume and the second water storage volume is greater than or equal to the preset water consumption, it means that the first water storage volume and the second water storage volume can meet the water consumption requirements of the target washing stage. Therefore, there is no need for the washing water recovery tank 6 to supply water to the rinsing water recovery tank 2. Thus, the washing water recovered in the washing water recovery tank 6 can be discharged directly through the sewage drain pipe 64.
[0115] If the second turbidity is less than or equal to the second preset turbidity, it indicates that the washing water quality in the washing water recovery tank 6 is good. It is less difficult for the washing water purification device 32 to purify the water to meet the water quality requirements of the rinsing water recovery tank 2, and the damage to the purification capacity of the washing water purification device 32 is small. Therefore, the washing water with a turbidity less than or equal to the second preset turbidity can be purified by the washing water purification device 32 and then flow into the rinsing water purification device 31 to increase the water storage capacity of the rinsing water recovery tank 2 and improve the water supply capacity of the rinsing water recovery tank 2 to the vehicle washing machine 5 and other water-using devices.
[0116] Alternatively, if the sum of the first and second water storage volumes is less than the preset water consumption, it indicates that the first and second water storage volumes cannot meet the water consumption requirements of the target washing stage. Therefore, the washing water recovery tank 6 needs to supply water to the rinsing water recovery tank 2. Thus, the washing water in the washing water recovery tank 6 needs to be purified by the washing water purification device 32 and then flow to the rinsing water purification device 31 to increase the water storage capacity of the rinsing water recovery tank 2 and improve the water supply capacity of the rinsing water recovery tank 2 to the vehicle washing machine 5 and other water-using devices.
[0117] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The process flow diagram for washing water treatment is as follows: After the washing stage, the washing water in the outer drum 51 is drained into the washing water recovery tank 6. One flow path for the washing water recovered in the washing water recovery tank 6 is as follows: It flows into the second washing water purification section 322, where impurities such as mud and lint are removed, and then it flows into the first washing water purification section 321. The first washing water purification section 321 purifies the detergent in the washing water, and the washing water discharged from the first washing water purification section 321 finally flows into the rinsing water recovery tank 2. Another flow path for the washing water recovered in the washing water recovery tank 6 is as follows: It is directly discharged from the washing water recovery tank 6 to the outside.
[0118] In one alternative implementation, when the vehicle-mounted washing machine is mainly supplied with water from a clean water tank, the control device is also configured to determine the amount of water to be replenished based on the difference between the preset water consumption and the first water storage volume when the first water storage volume of the clean water tank is less than the preset water consumption volume.
[0119] Before the rinse water recovery tank 2 supplies water to the vehicle washing machine 5, control the rinse water recovery tank 2 to drain water until the remaining water in the rinse water recovery tank 2 reaches the replenishment amount.
[0120] In this embodiment, the rinse water recovery tank 2 can discharge water directly to the external environment or to other water-using devices. In a preferred embodiment, the water system includes a buffer tank, which is connected to the rinse water recovery tank 2. The rinse water recovery tank 2 can drain water into the buffer tank, and it is also connected to water-using devices other than the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5, so as to supply water to these devices. Before the rinse water recovery tank 2 supplies water to the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5, it controls the rinse water recovery tank 2 to drain water into the buffer tank until the remaining water in the rinse water recovery tank 2 reaches the replenishment level.
[0121] In this embodiment, a reserve of water is provided in the rinse water recovery tank 2 before supplying water to the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5 to assist the water supply in the clean water tank 1, thus meeting the water demand of the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5. At the same time, the storage space of the rinse water recovery tank 2 is released to recover the rinse water for the next rinsing stage. Furthermore, the washing water recovered in the washing water recovery tank 6 is also discharged to release the storage space of the washing water recovery tank 6, so as to recover the washing water for the next washing stage.
[0122] In one optional implementation, the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5 has a water-saving washing mode, which includes a washing stage, a first rinsing stage, and a second rinsing stage executed sequentially. The control device is further configured to, in the water-saving washing mode, control the rinsing water recovery tank 2 to supply water for the washing stage and the first rinsing stage, and control the clean water tank 1 to supply water for the second rinsing stage. The number of rinsing cycles in the first rinsing stage is greater than or equal to 0, and the number of rinsing cycles in the second rinsing stage is greater than or equal to 1. Preferably, the number of second rinsing cycles is 1, ensuring that the clean water tank 1 supplies water for the final rinsing cycle of the washing process.
[0123] In this embodiment, the water tank 1 is used to supply water for at least the last rinse in the washing process, which can reduce the amount of water used in the water tank 1 while ensuring the cleaning effect of the clothes.
[0124] In one optional embodiment, after the washing cycle is completed, the washing chamber of the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5 is also deodorized. Specifically, refer to... Figure 1 The vehicle-mounted washing machine 5 includes a fresh air duct 55, a fresh air fan 54, and an aromatherapy module 53. The washing chamber includes the space in the inner drum and the space between the inner drum and the outer drum 51. The fresh air duct 55 connects the air inlet of the outer drum 51 to the external environment, and the fresh air fan 54 and the aromatherapy module 53 are both located in the fresh air duct 55.
[0125] The laundry program includes a washing stage, a rinsing stage, and a spin-drying stage performed sequentially. After the spin-drying stage, the fresh air fan 54 is activated. Under the action of the fresh air fan 54, fresh air from the outside environment enters the washing chamber through the fresh air duct 55, and at the same time, the fragrance emitted by the aromatherapy module 53 is brought into the washing chamber to remove odors. The aromatherapy module 53 also serves to scent the clothes.
[0126] During the garment processing, the inner drum rotation is also controlled to improve odor removal. Both the inner drum rotation speed and the fresh air fan speed 54 are related to the weight of the garments; that is, the heavier the garments, the higher the inner drum rotation speed and the higher the fresh air fan speed 54. (Refer to...) Figure 5 The odor treatment process is as follows: After the second rinsing stage, the dehydration stage begins. The weight of the clothes in the inner drum is obtained, and the fresh air fan 54 is started. The rotation speed of the inner drum and the rotation speed of the fresh air fan 54 are controlled according to the weight of the clothes.
[0127] In other possible ways, ozone can be introduced into the washing chamber to kill bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms, thereby removing odors.
[0128] In one optional implementation, the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5 includes an atomizing device connected to a clean water tank 1, which supplies water to the atomizing device. When the combined water volume of the washing water recovery tank 6 and the clean water tank 1 is less than the preset water consumption for the target washing stage, or when the turbidity value in the rinsing water recovery tank 2 does not meet the water quality requirements of the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5, the atomizing device is activated to wash and rinse the clothes, and the clean water from the clean water tank 1 is used to supply water to the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5 during the second rinsing stage.
[0129] This embodiment also proposes a control method for the water system of the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5. The control method is applied to the water system proposed above, referring to... Figure 6 The control flowchart and control method include the following steps:
[0130] S61. Before washing clothes, determine the preset water consumption for the target washing stage, the first water volume in the clean water tank 1, and the second water volume in the rinse water recovery tank 2.
[0131] S62. During the washing process, the water supply method at the target washing stage is controlled based on at least one of the first water storage volume and the second water storage volume and the preset water consumption.
[0132] In one alternative implementation, the target washing stage includes a washing stage and / or a rinsing stage;
[0133] If the target washing stage is the washing stage, the preset water consumption is the washing water consumption.
[0134] If the target washing stage is the rinsing stage, the preset water consumption is the rinsing water consumption.
[0135] When the target washing stages are washing and rinsing, the preset water consumption is the total water consumption of the washing and rinsing stages.
[0136] In one optional implementation, the water supply method during the target washing stage is controlled based on at least one of a first water storage volume and a second water storage volume and a preset water consumption, including:
[0137] When the second water storage is less than the preset water consumption, the rinse water recovery tank 2 is controlled to supply water to the vehicle washing machine 5 during the target washing stage. When the water in the rinse water recovery tank 2 drops to the first preset water storage, the clean water tank 1 is controlled to supply water to the vehicle washing machine 5.
[0138] When the second water storage volume is greater than or equal to the preset water consumption, the rinse water recovery tank 2 is controlled to supply water to the vehicle washing machine 5 separately during the target washing stage.
[0139] In one optional implementation, the water supply method of the clean water tank 1 and / or the rinse water recovery tank 2 during the target washing stage is controlled based on at least one of the first water storage volume and the second water storage volume and a preset water consumption, including:
[0140] When the first water storage is less than the preset water consumption, the clean water tank 1 is controlled to supply water to the vehicle washing machine 5 during the target washing stage. When the water in the clean water tank 1 drops to the second preset water storage, the rinse water recovery tank 2 is controlled to supply water to the vehicle washing machine 5.
[0141] When the initial water storage volume is greater than or equal to the preset water consumption, the clean water tank 1 is controlled to supply water to the vehicle washing machine 5 separately during the target washing stage.
[0142] In one optional implementation, if the first water storage volume is less than the preset water consumption volume, the water replenishment volume is also determined based on the difference between the preset water consumption volume and the first water storage volume.
[0143] Before the rinse water recovery tank 2 supplies water to the vehicle washing machine 5, control the rinse water recovery tank 2 to drain water until the remaining water in the rinse water recovery tank 2 reaches the replenishment amount.
[0144] In one optional implementation, the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5 has a water-saving washing mode, which includes a washing stage, a first rinsing stage, and a second rinsing stage executed sequentially. The control method further includes:
[0145] In the water-saving washing mode, the rinsing water recovery tank 2 is controlled to supply water for the washing stage and the first rinsing stage, and the clean water tank 1 is controlled to supply water for the second rinsing stage.
[0146] The number of rinses in the first rinsing stage is greater than or equal to 0, and the number of rinses in the second rinsing stage is greater than or equal to 1.
[0147] In one alternative implementation, the inner drum of the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5 is deodorized after the water-saving washing mode ends.
[0148] The control methods for the above water system have been described in detail in the previous embodiments of the water system, and will not be repeated here.
[0149] This embodiment also proposes a control method for the water system of a vehicle-mounted washing machine 5. The control method is applied to the water system of the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5 proposed in the first aspect of this application embodiment. The control method includes:
[0150] Obtain the first turbidity of the rinse water flowing into the rinse water recovery tank 2;
[0151] When the first turbidity is greater than the first preset turbidity, the rinsing water of the vehicle washing machine 5 is controlled to flow into the first storage chamber 27;
[0152] When the first turbidity is less than or equal to the first preset turbidity, the rinsing water of the vehicle washing machine 5 is controlled to flow into the second storage chamber 28.
[0153] The control methods for the above water system have been described in detail in the previous embodiments of the water system, and will not be repeated here.
[0154] This embodiment also proposes a control method for the water system of a vehicle-mounted washing machine 5. The control method is applied to the water system of the vehicle-mounted washing machine 5 proposed in the first aspect of this application embodiment. The control method includes:
[0155] Determine the second turbidity of the washing water in the washing water recovery tank 6, the first water volume in the clear water tank 1, and the second water volume in the rinsing water recovery tank 2;
[0156] When the second turbidity is greater than the second preset turbidity, or when the sum of the first water storage volume and the second water storage volume is greater than or equal to the preset water consumption, the washing water in the washing water recovery tank 6 is controlled to flow into the sewage drain pipe 64.
[0157] When the second turbidity is less than or equal to the second preset turbidity, or when the sum of the first water volume and the second water volume is less than the preset water consumption, the washing water in the washing water recovery tank 6 is controlled to flow into the rinsing water recovery tank 2 through the washing water purification device 32.
[0158] The control methods for the above water system have been described in detail in the previous embodiments of the water system, and will not be repeated here.
