Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cleaning machine technology, specifically to cleaning machine control methods, devices, cleaning machines, and storage media. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, they are paying more and more attention to the cleaning of fruits and vegetables. Fruit and vegetable cleaning machines are also gradually developing towards intelligence, greening, efficiency and precision. The cleaning methods in related technologies generally adopt the water-spinning method to throw impurities out of the cleaning basket. Impurities or water are thrown out of the fruit and vegetable cleaning machine, causing environmental pollution. In the whole cleaning process, it is impossible to adjust according to the cleaning needs of different types of fruits and vegetables. The uniform speed and fixed cleaning method result in poor cleaning effect. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides a cleaning machine control method, device, cleaning machine, and storage medium to solve the problem of poor cleaning effect caused by the inability to adaptively adjust the cleaning strategy according to different types of fruits and vegetables.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a cleaning machine control method. The standard cleaning process of the cleaning machine includes multiple sequentially executed cleaning stages. Different cleaning stages correspond to different cleanliness ranges and different cleaning methods, and the cleanliness of the current cleaning stage corresponding to the cleanliness range is greater than the cleanliness of the previous cleaning stage corresponding to the cleanliness range. The method includes: Identify the current cleanliness of the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned within the cleaning area; Based on the cleanliness range corresponding to different cleaning stages, determine the target cleaning stage corresponding to the current cleanliness. The machine is controlled to enter the target cleaning stage to clean the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned, and the step of identifying the current cleanliness of the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned in the cleaning area is repeated until the current cleanliness exceeds the maximum cleanliness of the cleanliness range corresponding to the last cleaning stage.

[0005] This invention divides the standard cleaning process into multiple sequential cleaning stages with progressively increasing cleanliness requirements. It first identifies the current cleanliness of the fruits and vegetables, then matches them to the corresponding target cleaning stage. After each stage, the cleanliness is re-checked to determine whether to proceed to the next stage, until the cleanliness standard is met. This allows for dynamic adjustment of the cleaning intensity based on the actual dirtiness of the fruits and vegetables, avoiding insufficient or excessive cleaning caused by fixed durations or uniform modes. Thus, it improves cleaning efficiency and intelligence while ensuring cleaning effectiveness, and saves water and electricity. It achieves resource conservation through effective cleaning methods, making it an energy-saving cleaning machine.

[0006] In one alternative implementation, the standard cleaning process of the cleaning machine further includes a drying stage, the method further including: In response to detecting that the current cleanliness exceeds the maximum cleanliness value of the cleanliness range corresponding to the last cleaning stage, the current humidity of the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned in the cleaning area is identified; When the current humidity exceeds the preset humidity threshold, the washing machine is controlled to enter the drying stage to dry the fruits and vegetables to be washed.

[0007] This invention identifies the current humidity of the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned when the current cleanliness exceeds the maximum cleanliness value of the cleanliness range corresponding to the last cleaning stage. When the humidity exceeds a preset humidity threshold, it enters the air-drying stage, which helps to avoid unnecessary air-drying energy consumption, achieves effective air-drying, and thus ensures the drying effect of fruits and vegetables while improving the energy efficiency and intelligence of the equipment.

[0008] In one alternative implementation, the method further includes: If the current humidity does not exceed the preset humidity threshold, or if the drying phase has ended, confirm that the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned have been cleaned, and / or issue a cleaning completion prompt.

[0009] This invention determines that fruits and vegetables have reached a usable dry state once the current humidity is below a preset threshold or the air-drying stage has ended. At this point, the cleaning process is considered complete, and a prompt message can be selectively issued to remind the user. This improves the cleaning effect of fruits and vegetables while reminding the user that the cleaning is complete, thereby enhancing the automation level and ease of use of the equipment.

[0010] In one optional implementation, the standard cleaning process includes a rinsing stage, a soaking stage, a deep cleaning stage, and a rinsing stage performed sequentially. Based on the cleanliness range corresponding to different cleaning stages, a target cleaning stage corresponding to the current cleanliness level is determined, including: When the current cleanliness level is within the first cleanliness range corresponding to the rinsing stage, the target cleaning stage is determined to be the rinsing stage; When the current cleanliness level is within the second cleanliness range corresponding to the soaking stage, the target cleaning stage is determined to be the soaking stage; When the current cleanliness level is within the third cleanliness range corresponding to the deep cleaning stage, the target cleaning stage is determined to be the deep cleaning stage. When the current cleanliness level is in the fourth cleanliness range corresponding to the rinsing stage, the target cleaning stage is determined to be the rinsing stage; wherein, the cleanliness levels corresponding to the first cleanliness range, the second cleanliness range, the third cleanliness range, and the fourth cleanliness range increase sequentially.

[0011] This invention divides the standard cleaning process into four stages: rinsing, soaking, deep cleaning, and rinsing. Each stage corresponds to a cleanliness range, and the cleanliness requirements increase progressively. Based on the range that the current cleanliness falls into in real time, the corresponding target cleaning stage is matched and determined. This helps to achieve a precise correspondence between the cleaning stage and the actual degree of dirt on fruits and vegetables, avoids damage to fruits and vegetables due to over-cleaning, improves the accuracy of matching the cleaning stages of fruits and vegetables, thereby saving resources and improving the targeting and efficiency of the cleaning process.

[0012] In one optional implementation, controlling the washing machine to enter the target washing stage to wash the fruits and vegetables to be washed includes: Identify the types of fruits and vegetables to be cleaned; the types of fruits and vegetables should include at least fruits, vegetables, and mixed fruits and vegetables; The cleaning method for the target cleaning stage is adjusted based on the type of fruit and vegetable. Among them, the cleaning intensity of the cleaning method corresponding to mixed fruit and vegetable is greater than that of the cleaning methods corresponding to single fruit and single vegetable. The fruits and vegetables to be cleaned are cleaned based on the cleaning method.

[0013] After determining the target cleaning stage, this invention further identifies the type of fruits and vegetables to be cleaned and matches different cleaning intensities to fruits, vegetables, and mixed fruits and vegetables. The cleaning intensity for mixed fruits and vegetables is higher than that for single fruits and vegetables. This helps to improve the cleaning effect of different types of fruits and vegetables by accurately identifying the cleaning type. It also helps to avoid problems such as poor cleaning of mixed fruits and vegetables due to insufficient cleaning intensity or damage to single fruits and vegetables due to excessive cleaning intensity, thereby improving the adaptability and cleaning effect of the cleaning process.

[0014] In one optional implementation, the cleaning method of the target cleaning stage is adjusted based on the type of fruit and vegetable, including: When the type of fruit or vegetable is fruit, the washing method should be a single wash. When the fruit and vegetable type is mixed, the cleaning method is determined to be compound washing. The cleaning time corresponding to compound washing is longer than the cleaning time corresponding to single washing, and / or the motor speed of the washing machine corresponding to compound washing is greater than the motor speed of the washing machine corresponding to single washing.

[0015] This invention differentiates the washing method based on the type of fruit and vegetable. When the type is a single type of fruit or vegetable, a single-wash method is used; when the type is a mixed type of fruit and vegetable, a compound-wash method is used. The washing time for the compound wash is longer than that for the single wash, and / or the motor speed of the washing machine for the compound wash is greater than that for the single wash. This helps to avoid the problem of insufficient cleaning of mixed fruits and vegetables by the single wash method, while avoiding over-washing of single types of fruits and vegetables, which would lead to resource waste or damage to the fruits and vegetables, thereby improving the cleaning effect and resource utilization rate.

[0016] In one alternative implementation, before identifying the current cleanliness of the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned within the cleaning area, the method further includes: Get the cleaning mode set by the user; When the cleaning mode is automatic, the step of identifying the current cleanliness of the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned in the cleaning area is executed; When the cleaning mode is a custom cleaning mode, in response to receiving the user-configured target cleaning process within a set time, the machine is controlled to clean the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned based on the target cleaning process. The target cleaning process includes at least one cleaning stage in the standard cleaning process and the execution order of each cleaning stage.

[0017] Before performing cleanliness identification, this invention obtains the cleaning mode set by the user. If it is an automatic cleaning mode, it enters an adaptive cleaning process based on cleanliness detection. If it is a custom cleaning mode, it waits for the user to configure a target cleaning process that includes at least one cleaning stage and its execution order, and then performs cleaning according to the configuration. This approach helps to balance the convenience of automated cleaning with the flexibility of personalized cleaning, and helps to meet the differentiated needs of different users for cleaning depth, duration, and stage combinations, thereby improving the applicability of the cleaning machine and the user experience.

[0018] In one alternative implementation, the method further includes: If the user-configured target cleaning process is not received within the set time, the cleaning machine is controlled to clean the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned according to the standard cleaning process.

[0019] In the custom cleaning mode, if the user does not complete the configuration of the target cleaning process within the set time, the system determines that the user has no intention of personalized settings and automatically performs cleaning according to the preset standard cleaning process. This is beneficial for providing custom options while ensuring the automatic completion of cleaning tasks, thereby improving the convenience of the cleaning machine.

[0020] Secondly, the present invention provides a cleaning machine control device. The standard cleaning process of the cleaning machine includes multiple sequentially executed cleaning stages. Different cleaning stages correspond to different cleanliness ranges and different cleaning methods, and the cleanliness of the current cleaning stage corresponding to the cleanliness range is greater than the cleanliness of the previous cleaning stage corresponding to the cleanliness range. The device includes: The identification module is used to identify the current cleanliness of the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned within the cleaning area; The determination module is used to determine the target cleaning stage corresponding to the current cleanliness level based on the cleanliness range corresponding to different cleaning stages. The control module is used to control the washing machine to enter the target washing stage to wash the fruits and vegetables to be washed, and to re-execute the step of identifying the current cleanliness of the fruits and vegetables to be washed in the washing area until the current cleanliness exceeds the maximum cleanliness of the cleanliness range corresponding to the last washing stage.

[0021] Thirdly, the present invention provides a cleaning machine, including a controller, the controller including a memory and a processor, the memory and the processor being communicatively connected to each other, the memory storing computer instructions, and the processor executing the computer instructions to perform the method described in the first aspect or any corresponding embodiment thereof.

[0022] Fourthly, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions for causing a computer to perform the method described in the first aspect or any corresponding embodiment thereof. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] It is understood that before using the technical solutions disclosed in the various embodiments of the present invention, users should be informed of the types, scope of use, and usage scenarios of the personal information involved in the present invention and their authorization should be obtained in accordance with relevant laws and regulations through appropriate means.

[0027] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of the cleaning machine, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning machine includes a controller 101. The controller 101 is used to execute a cleaning control method to control the cleaning machine. The overall process of the controller 101 executing the cleaning control method is detailed in the relevant description of the method embodiments below, and will not be repeated here.

[0029] The cleaning machine provided in this embodiment is advantageous in dynamically adapting the cleaning intensity according to the actual degree of dirtiness of fruits and vegetables, and in avoiding insufficient or excessive cleaning caused by fixed duration or uniform mode, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and intelligence level while ensuring cleaning effect.

[0030] Specifically, the aforementioned cleaning machine can be a fruit and vegetable cleaning machine.

[0031] In practical applications, the aforementioned washing machine also includes built-in sensors for monitoring the type and cleanliness of fruits and vegetables, as well as actuators and monitoring devices. The washing process is mainly divided into five stages: rinsing, soaking, deep cleaning, rinsing, and drying. Depending on the type of fruits and vegetables and user needs, the soaking stage can be skipped from the rinsing stage to the deep cleaning stage, or the drying stage can be omitted after rinsing.

[0032] As people's living standards improve, they are paying more and more attention to cleaning fruits and vegetables, and fruit and vegetable cleaning machines are gradually developing towards intelligence, greening, efficiency, and precision.

[0033] The cleaning method in related technologies uses a water-spinning motion to throw impurities out of the cleaning basket. However, this method easily throws impurities or water out of the fruit and vegetable washing machine, causing pollution to the surrounding environment. Furthermore, the cleaning process cannot be adjusted to meet the different cleaning needs of various types of fruits and vegetables, following a fixed cleaning method with a uniform rotation speed, resulting in poor cleaning performance.

[0034] Based on the above problems, this embodiment focuses on analyzing the cleanliness of fruits and vegetables at each cleaning stage, and determining at what cleanliness level the machine can proceed to the next stage or end the cleaning process. This allows the cleaning machine to rationally plan the cleaning method according to different types of fruits and vegetables to achieve better cleaning results, thus proposing a cleaning machine control method. Specifically, it analyzes the classification of fruits and vegetables and the real-time monitoring of cleanliness at each cleaning stage to achieve timely and effective planning of the next cleaning stage or termination of cleaning, improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning machine while saving energy.

[0035] In some optional embodiments of this example, the standard cleaning process of the cleaning machine includes multiple cleaning stages executed sequentially. Different cleaning stages correspond to different cleanliness ranges and different cleaning methods, and the cleanliness of the current cleaning stage corresponding to the cleanliness range is greater than the cleanliness of the previous cleaning stage corresponding to the cleanliness range.

[0036] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for controlling a cleaning machine is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0037] This embodiment provides a cleaning machine control method, which can be used in the controller of the aforementioned cleaning machine. Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart of a first embodiment of the cleaning machine control method according to the present invention, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps: Step S201: Identify the current cleanliness of the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned within the cleaning area.

[0038] It should be noted that the cleaning machine uses built-in sensors to identify the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned in the cleaning area. For example, a visual camera or LiDAR can be used for identification.

[0039] The fruits and vegetables to be cleaned can be agricultural products that have not yet undergone a cleaning process, such as apples, potatoes, and tomatoes. The cleaning area of ​​the cleaning machine can be a cleaning tank.

[0040] Here, "current cleanliness" refers to the initial cleanliness of unwashed fruits and vegetables. For example, the degree of dirt adhering to the surface of fruits and vegetables is identified by sensors, and the data identified by the sensors is converted into a cleanliness index value by an algorithm.

[0041] For example, visual or radar sensors can be used to automatically detect the degree of dirt on the surface of unwashed fruits and vegetables within the cleaning area, and convert the degree of dirt into data readable by the controller so that the control system can determine the cleaning stage and the corresponding cleaning intensity and cleaning time.

[0042] Step S202: Based on the cleanliness range corresponding to different cleaning stages, determine the target cleaning stage corresponding to the current cleanliness.

[0043] It should be noted that different cleaning stages include at least a rinsing stage, a soaking stage, a deep cleaning stage, and a rinsing stage; each cleaning stage corresponds to a different cleanliness range. For example, a cleanliness value of 0 to 20% corresponds to the rinsing stage, 21% to 50% corresponds to the soaking stage, 50% to 80% corresponds to the deep cleaning stage, and 80% to 90% corresponds to the rinsing stage, etc.

[0044] For example, the cleaning parameters in the rinsing stage include at least high-speed spraying and water flow rinsing to remove large particles of impurities; the cleaning parameters in the soaking stage include at least ultrasonic loosening of pesticide residues and wax; the cleaning parameters in the deep cleaning stage include at least pulsed water flow to remove pesticide residues and microorganisms; and the cleaning parameters in the rinsing stage include at least thorough rinsing to remove residues.

[0045] The process involves comparing the current cleanliness level with the cleanliness range corresponding to each cleaning stage to determine the target cleaning stage. For example, if the current cleanliness level is identified as 30%, the corresponding target cleaning stage is the soaking stage.

[0046] Step S203: Control the washing machine to enter the target washing stage to wash the fruits and vegetables to be washed, and re-execute the step of identifying the current cleanliness of the fruits and vegetables to be washed in the washing area until the current cleanliness exceeds the maximum cleanliness of the cleanliness range corresponding to the last washing stage.

[0047] It should be noted that during the cleaning process of the washing machine entering the target cleaning stage, the current cleanliness of the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned in the cleaning area is identified in real time. The current cleanliness is the cleanliness of the fruits and vegetables after the target cleaning stage. In this embodiment, the cleanliness value increases step by step when cleaning fruits and vegetables according to the cleaning stage. The step-by-step increase in cleanliness value means that there is less and less dirt on the fruits and vegetables. That is, the higher the cleanliness value, the cleaner the fruits and vegetables are cleaned.

[0048] During the cleaning of fruits and vegetables in the target cleaning stage, the identified cleanliness level is compared with the cleanliness range corresponding to each cleaning stage, and the next cleaning stage for the fruits and vegetables is determined based on the cleanliness level. If the cleanliness value exceeds the maximum cleanliness of the cleanliness range corresponding to the last cleaning stage after the current target cleaning stage ends, it means that the fruits and vegetables are cleaned in the target cleaning stage. If the cleanliness value does not exceed the maximum cleanliness of the cleanliness range corresponding to the last cleaning stage after the current target cleaning stage ends, the next target cleaning stage is re-matched according to the updated cleanliness value, and the fruits and vegetables are cleaned according to the new target cleaning stage. This cycle continues until the current cleanliness level exceeds the maximum cleanliness of the cleanliness range corresponding to the last cleaning stage.

[0049] The cleaning machine control method provided in this embodiment divides the standard cleaning process into multiple sequential cleaning stages with progressively increasing cleanliness requirements. It first identifies the current cleanliness of the fruits and vegetables, then matches the corresponding target cleaning stage for cleaning, and re-detects the cleanliness after each stage to determine whether to proceed to the next stage, until the cleanliness meets the standard. This method is beneficial for dynamically adapting the cleaning intensity according to the actual degree of dirtiness of the fruits and vegetables, and helps avoid insufficient or excessive cleaning caused by fixed durations or uniform modes, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and intelligence while ensuring cleaning effect.

[0050] This embodiment provides a cleaning machine control method, which can be used in the aforementioned cleaning machine. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a second process for a cleaning machine control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the process includes the following steps: Step S301: Obtain the cleaning mode set by the user.

[0051] It should be noted that the cleaning modes include at least a custom mode where the user can define the cleaning stage and an automatic cleaning mode where the system automatically cleans based on the mapping relationship between the cleanliness value and its corresponding cleanliness range.

[0052] In some optional embodiments of this example, the cleaning machine may be a cleaning machine with an interactive interface, in which the user selects the cleaning mode by inputting operations on the interactive interface; or it may be a cleaning machine with a control panel, in which the cleaning mode is set by buttons on the control panel.

[0053] Step S302: When the cleaning mode is automatic cleaning mode, perform the step of identifying the current cleanliness of the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned in the cleaning area.

[0054] For example, in automatic cleaning mode, frequent user operation is not required. The fruits and vegetables to be cleaned are performed according to the steps described in the above method embodiments. Automatic cleaning mode reduces the frequency of user operation while improving cleaning effectiveness.

[0055] Step S303: When the cleaning mode is a custom cleaning mode, in response to receiving the user-configured target cleaning process within a set time, the cleaning machine is controlled to clean the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned based on the target cleaning process. The target cleaning process includes at least one cleaning stage in the standard cleaning process and the execution order of each cleaning stage.

[0056] It should be noted that in custom mode, users can pre-set the next cleaning stage at the end of any stage of the cleaning process or during operation. After each cleaning stage, the washing machine checks whether it has received the user-defined target cleaning process. The target cleaning process includes at least one of the cleaning stages and the execution order of each stage. For example, if the user-configured target cleaning process is to enter the deep cleaning stage after the current rinsing stage, then after the rinsing stage ends, the washing machine skips the soaking stage and directly enters the deep cleaning stage to clean the fruits and vegetables. If the user-configured target cleaning process is to enter the rinsing and drying stages after the current rinsing stage, and the execution order of the rinsing and drying stages is rinsing first and then drying, then after the rinsing stage ends, the washing machine skips the soaking and deep cleaning stages and directly enters the rinsing stage, executing the rinsing stage first and then the drying stage, which helps save water and electricity.

[0057] The cleaning machine control method provided in this embodiment obtains the cleaning mode set by the user before performing cleanliness identification. If it is an automatic cleaning mode, it enters an adaptive cleaning process based on cleanliness detection. If it is a custom cleaning mode, it waits for the user to configure a target cleaning process that includes at least one cleaning stage and execution order, and performs cleaning according to the configuration. This method is beneficial to balancing the convenience of automated cleaning with the flexibility of personalized cleaning, and is conducive to meeting the differentiated needs of different users for cleaning depth, duration and stage combinations, thereby improving the applicability of the cleaning machine and the user experience.

[0058] Step S304: Identify the current cleanliness of the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned within the cleaning area. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 Step S201 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described again here.

[0059] Step S305: Based on the cleanliness range corresponding to different cleaning stages, determine the target cleaning stage corresponding to the current cleanliness.

[0060] In this embodiment, the standard cleaning process includes a rinsing stage, a soaking stage, a deep cleaning stage, and a rinsing stage performed sequentially.

[0061] Specifically, step S305 includes: Step S3051: In response to the current cleanliness being within the first cleanliness range corresponding to the rinsing stage, the target cleaning stage is determined to be the rinsing stage.

[0062] The first cleanliness level ranges from 0 to 0.2. A cleanliness level within this range indicates that the surface of the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned has severe dirt, such as mud and insect eggs, and therefore needs to be rinsed.

[0063] Step S3052: In response to the current cleanliness being within the second cleanliness range corresponding to the soaking stage, the target cleaning stage is determined to be the soaking stage.

[0064] The second cleanliness level ranges from 0.2 to 0.5. A cleanliness level within this range means that the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned may have loose pesticide residues or wax residues, and therefore need to be soaked to remove these residues.

[0065] Step S3053: In response to the current cleanliness being in the third cleanliness range corresponding to the deep cleaning stage, the target cleaning stage is determined to be the deep cleaning stage.

[0066] The third cleanliness level ranges from 0.5 to 0.8. A cleanliness level within this range indicates that the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned have moderate dirt, such as pesticide residues on the surface, and require deep cleaning to remove the pesticides.

[0067] Step S3054: In response to the current cleanliness being in the fourth cleanliness range corresponding to the rinsing stage, the target cleaning stage is determined to be the rinsing stage; wherein the cleanliness corresponding to the first cleanliness range, the second cleanliness range, the third cleanliness range, and the fourth cleanliness range increases sequentially.

[0068] The fourth cleanliness level ranges from 0.8 to 0.9. A cleanliness level within this range indicates that the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned have a high level of cleanliness, meaning that the cleanliness meets the standard. At this point, the cleaning agent can be removed by rinsing.

[0069] In this embodiment, a fifth cleanliness range is also included. When the cleanliness range is greater than 0.9, the target cleaning stage is determined to be the air-drying stage, in which the surface moisture of fruits and vegetables is removed.

[0070] The washing machine control method provided in this embodiment divides the standard washing process into four stages: rinsing, soaking, deep cleaning, and rinsing. Each stage corresponds to a cleanliness range, and the cleanliness requirements increase progressively. Based on the range that the current cleanliness falls into in real time, the corresponding target washing stage is matched and determined. This helps to achieve a precise correspondence between the washing stage and the actual degree of dirt on fruits and vegetables, avoids damage to fruits and vegetables due to over-washing, improves the accuracy of matching the fruit and vegetable washing stages, thereby saving resources and improving the targeting and efficiency of the washing process.

[0071] Step S306: Control the washing machine to enter the target washing stage to wash the fruits and vegetables to be washed, and re-execute the step of identifying the current cleanliness of the fruits and vegetables to be washed in the washing area until the current cleanliness exceeds the maximum cleanliness of the cleanliness range corresponding to the last washing stage.

[0072] Specifically, step S306 includes: Step S3061: Identify the type of fruits and vegetables to be cleaned; the types of fruits and vegetables include at least fruits, vegetables, and mixed fruits and vegetables.

[0073] The "fruit" category refers to fruits and vegetables that need to be washed, such as apples, grapes, blueberries, watermelons, strawberries, and / or cherries. The "vegetable" category refers to various vegetables, including but not limited to potatoes, carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, green peppers, mushrooms, and / or tomatoes.

[0074] Mixed fruit and vegetable items refer to items in the washing area that contain one or more fruits from the fruit category and one or more vegetables from the vegetable category. Examples include apples, grapes, carrots, and cabbage.

[0075] Among them, the fruit and vegetable type identification technology can identify the type of fruit and vegetables by comparing the state of the fruit and vegetables identified by the sensor with a pre-stored basic fruit and vegetable cleaning parameter library and matching the corresponding fruit and vegetable type through parameter comparison.

[0076] It should be noted that the fruit and vegetable type identification technology can also be based on image recognition technology to determine the fruit and vegetable type. When determining the fruit and vegetable type through image recognition technology, the fruit and vegetable image is first identified, and then the fruit and vegetable type result is obtained by comparing it with the fruit and vegetable type in the pre-stored fruit and vegetable type database.

[0077] Step S3062: Adjust the cleaning method of the target cleaning stage based on the type of fruit and vegetable, wherein the cleaning intensity of the cleaning method corresponding to mixed fruit and vegetable is greater than the cleaning intensity of the cleaning methods corresponding to single fruit and single vegetable.

[0078] Specifically, step S3062 includes: Step a1: When the fruit and vegetable type is fruit or vegetable, determine the washing method as single wash.

[0079] It should be noted that a single-wash method includes at least a rinsing stage, a deep cleaning stage, and a rinsing stage. The single-wash method is determined based on the single nature of the fruit or vegetable type.

[0080] Step a2: When the fruit and vegetable type is mixed fruit and vegetable, determine the washing method as compound washing, the washing time corresponding to compound washing is longer than the washing time corresponding to single washing, and / or, the motor speed of the washing machine corresponding to compound washing is greater than the motor speed of the washing machine corresponding to single washing.

[0081] Among them, compound washing is determined based on the mixed nature of fruits or vegetables.

[0082] It should be noted that the composite washing method includes at least a rinsing stage, a deep cleaning stage, and a rinsing stage.

[0083] For example, as shown in Table 1 below, different washing speed ranges are set for different target fruits and vegetables based on the washing stages of single washing and combined washing.

[0084] Table 1 Washing speed for fruits and vegetables

[0085] It should be noted that "√" in Table 1 indicates the cleaning speed corresponding to the cleaning stage. For example, the cleaning speed of the rinsing stage under a single washing method is 500r to 700r; the cleaning speed of the rinsing stage under a combined washing method is 700r to 800r. For the cleaning speed of other cleaning stages under different cleaning methods, please refer to Table 1. The cleaning speed refers to the motor speed.

[0086] For example, as shown in Table 2 below, different cleaning time ranges are set according to the cleaning stages of single washing and combined washing, i.e., different cleaning durations.

[0087] Table 2. Washing time for fruits and vegetables

[0088] It should be noted that “√” in Table 2 indicates the cleaning time corresponding to the cleaning stage. For example, the cleaning time of the rinsing stage under a single washing method is 1 to 3 minutes; the cleaning time of the rinsing stage under a combined washing method is 3 to 5 minutes. For the cleaning time of other cleaning stages under different cleaning methods, please refer to Table 2.

[0089] The washing machine control method provided in this embodiment differentiates the washing method according to the type of fruits and vegetables. When the type is a single type of fruit or vegetable, a single washing method is used; when the type is a mixed type of fruits and vegetables, a compound washing method is used. The washing time for compound washing is longer than that for single washing, and / or the motor speed of the washing machine for compound washing is greater than that for single washing. This helps to avoid the problem of insufficient washing of mixed fruits and vegetables by single washing, and at the same time avoids over-washing of single types of fruits and vegetables, which would cause resource waste or damage to the fruits and vegetables, thereby improving the washing effect and resource utilization rate.

[0090] Step S3063: Clean the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned based on the cleaning method.

[0091] For example, if the determined cleaning method is single washing, then the system enters the target cleaning stage within single washing. Taking the rinsing stage as an example, the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned are cleaned according to the motor speed and cleaning time corresponding to the rinsing stage in single washing. Alternatively, for example, if the determined cleaning method is multi-washing, then the system enters the target cleaning stage within multi-washing. Taking the rinsing stage as an example, the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned are cleaned according to the motor speed and cleaning time corresponding to the rinsing stage in multi-washing.

[0092] The washing machine control method provided in this embodiment, after determining the target washing stage, further identifies the type of fruits and vegetables to be washed, and matches different intensity washing methods according to fruits, vegetables, and mixed fruits and vegetables. The washing intensity of mixed fruits and vegetables is higher than that of single fruits and vegetables. This helps to improve the washing effect of different types of fruits and vegetables by accurately determining the washing type, and helps to avoid the problem of poor washing of mixed fruits and vegetables due to insufficient washing intensity or damage to single fruits and vegetables due to excessive washing intensity, thereby improving the adaptability and washing effect of the washing.

[0093] The standard cleaning process for a cleaning machine also includes a drying stage.

[0094] Step S307: In response to detecting that the current cleanliness exceeds the maximum cleanliness value of the cleanliness range corresponding to the last cleaning stage, the current humidity of the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned in the cleaning area is identified.

[0095] For example, a humidity sensor can be used to detect the current humidity of the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned in the cleaning area.

[0096] It should be noted that humidity detection can be performed when the current cleanliness exceeds the maximum cleanliness value of the cleanliness range corresponding to the last cleaning stage, in order to determine whether the drying stage can proceed.

[0097] Step S308: When the current humidity exceeds the preset humidity threshold, control the washing machine to enter the drying stage to dry the fruits and vegetables to be washed.

[0098] It should be noted that if the current humidity exceeds the preset humidity threshold, it means that the fruits and vegetables to be washed have a lot of moisture on their surface and need to be air-dried before the user can use them. The preset humidity threshold is determined based on the suitability of the fruits and vegetables for use.

[0099] The washing machine control method provided in this embodiment identifies the current humidity of the fruits and vegetables to be washed when the current cleanliness exceeds the maximum cleanliness value of the cleanliness range corresponding to the last washing stage. When the humidity exceeds the preset humidity threshold, it enters the air drying stage, which helps to avoid unnecessary air drying energy consumption, achieve effective air drying, and thus ensure the drying effect of fruits and vegetables while improving the energy efficiency and intelligence of the equipment.

[0100] Step S309: If the current humidity does not exceed the preset humidity threshold, or the drying stage has ended, determine that the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned have been cleaned, and / or issue a cleaning completion prompt.

[0101] For example, the completion of cleaning can be indicated by text prompts on the cleaning machine's interactive interface, by sound prompts, or by voice announcements.

[0102] The washing machine control method provided in this embodiment determines that the fruits and vegetables have reached a usable dry state after confirming that the current humidity is lower than the preset threshold or the air-drying stage has ended. At this time, it is determined that the washing process is complete and can optionally issue a prompt message to remind the user. This is beneficial to improving the washing effect of fruits and vegetables and reminding the user that the washing is complete, thereby improving the automation level and ease of use of the equipment.

[0103] In step S3010, in response to the failure to receive the user-configured target cleaning process within a set time, the cleaning machine is controlled to clean the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned according to the standard cleaning process.

[0104] It should be noted that if the user selects the custom mode but does not configure a target cleaning process within the set time, the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned will be cleaned according to the standard cleaning process. In some optional implementations, before cleaning the fruits and vegetables according to the standard cleaning process, the user can be prompted to configure a target cleaning process. If the user-configured target cleaning process is not received within the set time, the cleaning machine will clean the fruits and vegetables according to the standard cleaning process; if the user-configured target cleaning process is received within the set time, the cleaning machine will clean the fruits and vegetables according to the user-configured target cleaning process.

[0105] The cleaning machine control method provided in this embodiment, in the custom cleaning mode, if the user does not complete the configuration of the target cleaning process within the set time, the system determines that the user has no intention of personalized settings, and automatically performs cleaning according to the preset standard cleaning process. This is beneficial to provide custom options while ensuring the automatic completion of cleaning tasks, thereby improving the convenience of the cleaning machine.

[0106] The following is combined Figures 4 to 6 This document describes an application example of a cleaning machine control method.

[0107] Exemplary Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the cleaning stage in the cleaning machine control method; Figure 5 A cleaning framework diagram for the cleaning machine control method; Figure 6 This is a flowchart of the control method for the cleaning machine.

[0108] It should be noted that, Figure 4 Different cleaning processes are illustrated in the examples; for example, the rinsing stage, soaking stage, deep cleaning stage, rinsing stage, and air drying stage are performed in sequence; or, the rinsing stage, deep cleaning stage, rinsing stage, and air drying stage are performed in sequence.

[0109] Based on the four stages of cleaning—rinsing (high-speed spraying and water flow to remove large particles of impurities), soaking (ultrasonic loosening of pesticide residues and wax), deep cleaning (pulsed water flow to remove pesticide residues and microorganisms), and rinsing (thorough rinsing to remove residues)—different cleaning schemes are determined for different types of vegetables, different types of fruits, and mixed fruit and vegetable combinations. This involves determining the cleaning sequence and time (generating solutions for each type of vegetable, fruit, or mixed fruit and vegetable, and finally performing a combined cleaning process). A single action completes the predetermined cleaning process. An optimal cleaning scheme (a combined cleaning scheme to greatly satisfy the cleaning needs of different fruits and vegetables) is generated; otherwise, a single cleaning scheme (single cleaning for fruits or vegetables) is executed. The actuator adjusts different speeds to output the corresponding scheme and collects cleaning parameters in real time. Based on the feedback from the cleaning system, the cleaning scheme is adjusted in real time according to the cleanliness and condition of the fruits and vegetables, determining whether the cleaning is complete. The motor operates at different speeds in different cleaning stages to adapt to the different cleaning conditions of fruits and vegetables, achieving better cleaning results and avoiding damage to the fruit and vegetable flesh that would affect its taste.

[0110] The specific implementation of a cleaning control method for a fruit and vegetable cleaning system is as follows: It should be noted that the cleanliness described in this embodiment is the same as the cleanliness described in the above method embodiments, and the fruit and vegetable status in this embodiment includes the fruit and vegetable cleanliness in the above method embodiments.

[0111] Step 1: Use sensors to collect basic parameters of fruits and vegetables.

[0112] The system uses a near-infrared spectral sensor to collect data and identify different fruits and vegetables (such as fruits, vegetables, and mixed fruits and vegetables). Based on the state of the fruits and vegetables identified by the sensor, it compares the data with a pre-stored database of basic fruit and vegetable cleaning parameters to complete parameter calibration and matching. Different cleaning methods (single cleaning or combined cleaning) are formulated according to the type and state of the fruits and vegetables. During the cleaning process, tasks such as rinsing (high-speed spraying and water flow rinsing to remove large particles of impurities), soaking (ultrasonic loosening of pesticide residues and wax), deep cleaning (pulsed water flow to remove pesticide residues and microorganisms), rinsing (thorough rinsing to remove residues), and air drying (removing surface moisture from fruits and vegetables) are assigned according to the cleanliness of the fruits and vegetables (determining the stage of cleaning).

[0113] The condition of fruits and vegetables includes at least fresh, ripe, wilted, and damaged states.

[0114] The parameters stored in the fruit and vegetable cleaning parameter library include at least the type of fruit and vegetable, freshness, degree of damage, diameter of a single fruit, and weight range.

[0115] It should be noted that the parameters are dynamically adjusted by detecting the initial state (damage level, skin thickness) to adapt to the real-time state of the equipment (reading equipment sensor data, automatically compensating parameters, combining environmental parameters, dynamically reducing cleaning time, automatically comparing pre-stored parameters, and triggering parameter updates).

[0116] For example, a cleanliness level of 0 to 0.2 corresponds to the rinsing stage, which means that the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned are heavily soiled (mud + insect eggs). A cleanliness level of 0.2 to 0.5 corresponds to the soaking stage, which means that the fruits and vegetables to be washed have loosened pesticide residues and wax. A cleanliness level of 0.5 to 0.8 corresponds to the deep cleaning stage, which means that the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned have moderate dirt (residual pesticides). A cleanliness level of 0.8 to 0.9 corresponds to the rinsing stage, which means that the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned are highly clean (meeting the standard) and that rinsing removes residual cleaning agents; A cleanliness level of 0.9 or higher corresponds to the air-drying stage, which means that the surface moisture of the fruits and vegetables to be cleaned needs to be removed.

[0117] Step 2: Generate the optimal control strategy based on the collected sensor data.

[0118] For details on the cleaning speed and cleaning time corresponding to the cleaning stage used in this step, please refer to the above method embodiment.

[0119] The machine collects real-time data on the condition (cleanliness) of fruits and vegetables, determines the cleaning progress, and automatically adjusts the speed (based on the current condition of the fruits and vegetables, it judges the next cleaning stage or user-specific needs, and adjusts the motor speed range of the fruit and vegetable cleaner in real time; for example, if the current stage is rinsing (preliminary dust and mud removal), it can determine the next stage to be soaking (softening and loosening contaminants), or the user can intervene and directly switch from the rinsing stage to the deep cleaning stage). The machine completes the stepwise cleaning and outputs the optimal cleaning intensity and the time required to complete the cleaning. It also adjusts the motor speed in real time according to the condition of the fruits and vegetables (gradually raising and lowering the motor speed to avoid sudden and drastic changes in the motor speed, and adjusting the speed and cleaning time according to the actual situation, thereby ensuring cleaning quality (removing pesticide residues and sterilizing) and reducing machine malfunctions).

[0120] During the entire cleaning process, users can intervene at any stage. If no user intervention is received during a cleaning stage, the process will automatically proceed to the next stage. If user intervention is received, the process will proceed according to the user-defined stage.

[0121] It should be noted that the time required to complete the cleaning is calculated based on the time required for each stage of cleaning to reach the set cleanliness level. If the user intervenes in the cleaning process, the time will be calculated based on the cleanliness level reached in the cleaning stage performed after the user's intervention.

[0122] Step 3: The decision information is sent to the execution device, and the execution effect is fed back in real time.

[0123] Based on the tasks of rinsing (high-speed spraying and water flow to remove large particles of impurities), soaking (ultrasonic loosening of pesticide residues and wax, using a vibration frequency of 40KHz-60KHz), deep cleaning (pulsed water flow to remove pesticide residues and microorganisms), and rinsing (thorough rinsing to remove residues), the system uses a variable frequency motor to adjust the speed of the fruit and vegetable washing machine according to the cleaning intensity, thus rationally allocating the cleaning time. The system receives the actual speed of the fruit and vegetable washing machine, the cleanliness of the fruits and vegetables, and their condition to determine the current cleaning stage and decide whether to repeat the cleaning operation; until the system determines that the cleaning is complete, it records the entire cleaning process to save a lot of time for subsequent cleaning of the same type. The system comprehensively evaluates the performance of the fruit and vegetable washing machine based on multiple dimensions, including the cleaning intensity, cleaning duration, cleaning quality, and user experience at different stages.

[0124] After cleaning is completed, the effectiveness is evaluated (based on cleaning time, cleaning intensity, and cleaning quality). If the evaluation result is excellent, the system ends the cleaning plan for this stage and stores it in the control center. When used again, the cleaning plan is executed directly. If the evaluation result is medium or good, the system determines to regenerate the cleaning plan based on the previous cleaning effect and executes the new plan until the evaluation result is excellent. The results are then uploaded to the control center for record-keeping and analysis of the reasons for the evaluation results of good or medium, in order to avoid similar problems in the future.

[0125] This system achieves dynamic optimization of the fruit and vegetable washing process, supporting various washing speed adjustments; and continuously optimizes the control scheme through a control center. Using the fruit and vegetable washing machine as a platform, it constructs an identifiable and adjustable system through sensor data acquisition, adaptive control, and real-time feedback, enabling the fruit and vegetable washing machine to develop towards intelligence, greening, efficiency, and precision, providing users with better services.
