Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of intelligent device technology, and specifically relates to a sterilization method, apparatus, device and storage medium for clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing environmental pollution, clothes worn daily by consumers often harbor more bacteria and viruses. Furthermore, densely populated environments such as schools and hospitals increase the risk of cross-contamination. Sterilization effectively reduces the presence of bacteria and viruses on clothing, protecting human health. Therefore, the sterilization step in clothing washing equipment is becoming increasingly important.

[0003] The existing sterilization operation of clothing processing equipment is as follows: add disinfectant to the dispenser of the clothing processing equipment, and add disinfectant at the same time as detergent.

[0004] However, the amount of disinfectant used in the above method is fixed, which reduces the sterilization and disinfection effect of the clothing processing equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a sterilization method, apparatus, equipment, and storage medium for clothing processing equipment to solve the problem that the amount of disinfectant added is fixed, which reduces the sterilization and disinfection effect of clothing processing equipment.

[0083] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0084] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0085] Environmental pollution leads to an increase in bacteria and viruses on clothing, especially in densely populated areas, increasing the risk of cross-contamination. Therefore, the sterilization step in the washing process of clothing processing equipment becomes particularly important. Current clothing processing equipment adds a fixed amount of disinfectant along with the detergent for sterilization, but this method reduces the equipment's sterilization effectiveness.

[0086] This application provides a sterilization method for clothing processing equipment. Responding to a user's preset operation, the method collects the user's movement trajectory within a target time period, determines the corresponding recommended sterilization level, determines the target soaking time based on the sterilization level, displays program information including the target soaking time and the recommended sterilization level, and executes the program upon receiving a start instruction. Through this method, the amount of disinfectant to be added can be accurately determined, improving the sterilization and disinfection effect of the clothing processing equipment.

[0087] The technical solutions of this application and how they solve the aforementioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments may exist independently or in combination with each other. Identical or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0088] Figure 1 A schematic flowchart of a sterilization method for a garment processing device provided in this application embodiment. Figure 1 .like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0089] S101. In response to the user's preset operation, collect the user's movement trajectory within the target time period.

[0090] The target time period is determined based on the most recent running time of the garment processing equipment, and the preset operation is used to instruct the user to start the sterilization operation.

[0091] In this step, with the increase of germs in the environment, users' clothing may be covered with a large number of bacteria. At the same time, most users likely frequent high-traffic areas such as schools and hospitals, increasing the risk of cross-contamination of bacteria on their clothing. Therefore, the sterilization and disinfection step is becoming increasingly important when clothing processing equipment treats clothing. However, existing clothing processing equipment adds a fixed amount of disinfectant along with the washing liquid when sterilizing and disinfecting clothing. But the amount of disinfectant required depends on the clothing parameters and the user's health risk level while wearing the clothing. Using a fixed amount of disinfectant to sterilize and disinfect clothing reduces the effectiveness of the clothing processing equipment.

[0092] Specifically, upon detecting the user's first action, the system obtains the most recent running time of the clothing processing equipment and determines a target time period based on this running time and the current time. The system then acquires the user's movement trajectory within the target time period. It should be noted that this movement trajectory can be sent from the user's mobile device to the clothing processing equipment, or it can be sent from the server to the clothing processing equipment. This embodiment does not impose any limitations on the method of acquiring the movement trajectory.

[0093] Furthermore, considering that a user's judgment on whether the clothing to be treated needs sterilization is subjective, and given that sterilizing agents can damage the clothing, it is not recommended to perform sterilization on the clothing treatment equipment when sterilization is not required. Therefore, this embodiment also determines whether the user poses a health risk based on their movement trajectory, that is, whether the clothing to be treated requires sterilization. The steps for determining whether the user poses a health risk can be determined according to the actual situation, and will not be elaborated on in this embodiment. This embodiment mainly discusses the operation of the clothing treatment equipment when the clothing to be treated needs sterilization.

[0094] In one possible implementation, at least one activity area corresponding to the user is determined based on the user's movement trajectory. It is then determined whether any target areas posing health risks, such as hospitals or sports fields, exist within these activity areas. Based on the determination results, it is judged whether the user faces any health risks.

[0095] S102. Determine the recommended sterilization level based on the movement trajectory.

[0096] In this step, the type and frequency of visits to areas posing health risks vary depending on the user's activity level within the target time period. Therefore, the amount of disinfectant required to ensure effective sterilization and disinfection varies when the clothing processing equipment handles the clothing. Since the amount of disinfectant used is related to the sterilization level, the user's health risk level affects the sterilization level. Therefore, to ensure a more reasonable sterilization level is selected when the clothing processing equipment handles the clothing, this embodiment analyzes the user's movement trajectory to determine the recommended sterilization level when a user's health risk is identified.

[0097] Specifically, the frequency of a user's appearance in different risk areas is determined based on their movement trajectory. The level of the user's health risk is analyzed based on the frequency of each appearance and the corresponding risk area. Then, the recommended sterilization level is determined based on the analysis results.

[0098] S103. Determine the target soaking time of the garments to be treated in the soaking solution containing disinfectant according to the recommended sterilization level.

[0099] In this step, the recommended sterilization level corresponds to different amounts of sterilizing agent added by the garment treatment equipment, and the amount of sterilizing agent added is controlled by the soaking time of the storage box in the soaking solution. Therefore, after determining the recommended sterilization level based on the movement trajectory, the target soaking time needs to be determined based on the proposed sterilization level. Simultaneously, the program parameters for the program to be run are all pre-set; that is, the soaking time corresponding to the program to be run is also pre-set. After determining the target soaking time, the program to be run needs to be adjusted according to the target soaking time to obtain the running program. The specific steps for determining the corresponding target soaking time based on the recommended sterilization level are as follows:

[0100] Obtain the clothing information of the clothes to be processed in the inner drum;

[0101] The amount of disinfectant to be used should be determined based on the clothing information and the recommended sterilization level.

[0102] Determine the appropriate dosing speed for the disinfectant in the storage box, and then determine the target soaking time based on the dosing speed and the amount of disinfectant added.

[0103] It should be noted that, in order to effectively control the amount of disinfectant used and reduce the harm of disinfectant to clothing and the environment, the disinfectant selected in this embodiment and subsequent embodiments is a solid disinfectant. The disinfectant addition rate is the dissolution rate of the disinfectant in the soaking water. The amount of disinfectant used varies depending on the soaking time of the clothing to be treated in the soaking solution.

[0104] S104. Display the program information of the running program, and execute the running program when the user's start instruction is received.

[0105] The operating procedure includes a recommended sterilization level and target soaking time.

[0106] In this step, after adjusting the program to be run according to the target soaking time, the program information of the running program is displayed on the display interface of the garment processing equipment. This allows the user to confirm that the recommended sterilization level and corresponding target soaking time provided by the garment processing equipment meet the user's expectations. Upon receiving the user's start instruction based on the program information, the running program is executed.

[0107] The specific steps for displaying program information when running the program are as follows:

[0108] Determine the program identifier corresponding to the running program and the sterilization identifier corresponding to the recommended sterilization level;

[0109] The display interface of the garment processing equipment displays the program identifier, the sterilization identifier, and the target soaking time;

[0110] Recommendation information is generated and output based on the recommended sterilization level and the target soaking time.

[0111] It should be noted that the clothing processing equipment in this embodiment and subsequent embodiments all include a storage box for holding disinfectant, and the storage box is disposed on the water-repellent blades of the inner drum of the clothing processing equipment. This embodiment does not limit the specific form of the storage box, and it can be selected according to actual conditions. For example, as shown... Figure 2 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a water-repelling blade containing a storage box according to an embodiment of this application. The storage box is located at the bottom of the water-repelling blade and includes a circular bottom and a lid adapted to the bottom. The lid contains multiple holes. When the storage box rotates with the water-repelling blade to a position below the surface of the soaking water, disinfectant is released through these holes into the soaking liquid, thus adding disinfectant to the soaking liquid. Therefore, when the garment processing equipment executes the adjusted standby program, the water-repelling blade containing the storage box needs to be rotated to a preset position during the soaking stage so that the storage box is below the surface of the soaking liquid. The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0112] Position the target water-repelling blade containing the storage box within at least one water-repelling blade;

[0113] During the soaking stage, rotate the target water-repellent blade to the preset position to add disinfectant to the soaking solution.

[0114] This application provides a sterilization method for clothing processing equipment. Responding to a user's preset operation, the method collects the user's movement trajectory within a target time period, determines the corresponding recommended sterilization level, determines the target soaking time based on the sterilization level, displays program information including the target soaking time and the recommended sterilization level, and executes the program upon receiving a start instruction. This method accurately determines the amount of disinfectant to be added, improving the sterilization effect of the clothing processing equipment, while also increasing interaction between the equipment and the user, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0115] Figure 3 A schematic flowchart of a sterilization method for a garment processing device provided in this application embodiment. Figure 2 This embodiment provides a detailed explanation of the steps involved in determining whether a user poses a health risk based on their movement trajectory. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0116] S301. Determine at least one activity area corresponding to the user within the target time period based on the user's movement trajectory, and determine the user status corresponding to the user in each activity area.

[0117] The user's status is either active or stable.

[0118] In this step, when users enter or leave areas with a high risk of germ contamination, their clothing can easily become contaminated with bacteria, posing a health risk. Similarly, after strenuous activity, clothing may become contaminated with sweat, skin flakes, and other microorganisms. These microorganisms can easily multiply in a damp, enclosed environment, also posing a health risk. Therefore, determining whether a user faces a health risk requires analysis based on their activity area and their current condition.

[0119] Specifically, the system analyzes the user's movement trajectory within the target time period, identifies at least one activity area for the user within the target time period, and obtains the user's status corresponding to each activity area.

[0120] S302. Determine whether there is a first target area that overlaps with at least one activity area and a first risk area, and determine whether there is a second target area that overlaps with at least one activity area and a second risk area.

[0121] In this step, the health risk level corresponding to the first risk area is greater than that corresponding to the second risk area. This embodiment does not impose any limitations on the selection of the first and second risk areas; user-defined settings are allowed.

[0122] For example, the first risk area may include hospitals, clinics, etc., and the second risk area may include sports fields, gyms, parks, etc.

[0123] Specifically, by comparing at least one activity area with a first risk area and a second risk area, it is determined whether there is a first target area that overlaps with at least one activity area and the first risk area, and whether there is a second target area that overlaps with at least one activity area and the second risk area.

[0124] For example: Based on the movement trajectory, the activity area A is determined to be: school, home, gym, cinema, and restaurant A. The first risk area is the hospital and clinic, and the second risk area is the sports field, gym, and park. Comparing the first risk area with activity area A, it is determined that there is no first target area. Comparing the second risk area with activity area A, it is determined that there is an overlapping second target area, which is: gym.

[0125] S303. If neither the first target area nor the second target area exists, then it is determined that the user does not pose a health risk.

[0126] In this step, considering that current detergents have bactericidal and disinfecting effects, they can effectively disinfect clothing with a small amount of bacteria. Therefore, assuming that neither the first nor the second target area exists, the clothing worn by the user during the target time period will have relatively few bacteria, allowing for disinfection with detergent. Thus, it is determined that there is no health risk to the user.

[0127] S304. If a second target area exists and a first target area does not exist, determine whether the user status corresponding to the second target area is active.

[0128] In this step, when it is determined that there is no overlap between at least one activity area and the first risk area in the first target area, and there is an overlap between at least one activity area and the second risk area in the second target area, it indicates that the user may have a health risk at this time, and further analysis is needed based on the user's status in the second target area.

[0129] Specifically, the user status corresponding to the second target area is obtained, and it is determined whether the user status is active.

[0130] S305. If so, then it is determined that the user has a health risk.

[0131] In this step, when the user's status is determined to be active, it indicates that the user's activities in the second target area may cause the clothing to be covered with a large number of bacteria, thus determining that the user poses a health risk.

[0132] S306. If not, then it is determined that the user does not pose a health risk.

[0133] In this step, when it is determined that the user's status is not active, i.e., in a stable state, it is determined that the user does not pose a health risk and there is no need to perform sterilization operations when processing clothes in the clothing processing equipment.

[0134] S307. If a first target area exists, it is determined that the user poses a health risk.

[0135] In this step, when at least one activity area is identified as having a first target area with the first risk area, it indicates that the clothing the user needs to process may be contaminated with a large number of viruses and bacteria, requiring sterilization. Therefore, it can be directly determined that the user faces a health risk.

[0136] This application provides a sterilization method for clothing processing equipment. The method determines a user's activity area and status within each activity area based on their movement trajectory, identifies the overlap between the activity area and a first and second risk area, and determines whether the user poses a health risk based on the overlap and the user's status. This approach makes the analysis of whether a user poses a health risk more accurate, thereby improving the accuracy of determining whether the clothing to be processed requires sterilization.

[0137] Figure 4 A schematic flowchart of a sterilization method for a garment processing device provided in this application embodiment. Figure 3 This embodiment provides a detailed explanation of the steps involved in determining the recommended sterilization level based on movement patterns. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0138] S401. Determine the first occurrence count of the user in the first risk area and the second occurrence count in the second risk area based on the user's movement trajectory.

[0139] In this step, both over-sterilization and under-sterilization can have adverse effects when the garment processing equipment sterilizes and disinfects the garments. Over-sterilization may remove beneficial bacteria from the garments, disrupting their microbial balance. Furthermore, over-sterilization may damage the fibers of the garments, shortening their lifespan. Under-sterilization, on the other hand, may leave harmful bacteria, such as pathogens and viruses, on the garments, potentially posing a health threat to the wearer. Therefore, when sterilizing and disinfecting garments, the amount of disinfectant used should be appropriately controlled to ensure the garments are clean without being damaged. Thus, this embodiment analyzes the movement trajectory to determine the recommended sterilization level.

[0140] Specifically, based on the operational trajectory, the first occurrence count of the user in the first risk area and the second occurrence count in the second risk area are determined.

[0141] S402. When the first occurrence frequency is greater than or equal to the first value, or the second occurrence frequency is greater than or equal to the second value, the corresponding recommended sterilization level is determined to be the first level.

[0142] The first value is less than the second value.

[0143] In this step, to enhance the intelligence of the sterilization operation of the garment processing equipment, the equipment can provide multiple recommended sterilization levels; this embodiment provides three recommended sterilization levels. It should be noted that the recommended sterilization levels in this embodiment only describe the concentration of disinfectant used.

[0144] Furthermore, since the health risk level corresponding to the first risk area is higher than that corresponding to the second risk area, the judgment criteria for the first and second risk areas are different under the same recommended sterilization level, with the judgment criteria for the first risk area being lower than that for the second risk area.

[0145] Specifically, when the number of occurrences of a first bacterium is greater than or equal to a first value, or the number of occurrences of a second bacterium is greater than or equal to a second value, it indicates that the clothing being treated by the equipment has a high variety of bacteria and a high degree of danger. To determine the sterilization effect, a higher sterilization intensity is required. Therefore, the corresponding recommended sterilization level is determined to be Level 1. This embodiment does not impose any limitations on the first and second values. For example, the first value could be 3-4, and the second value could be 4-6.

[0146] S403. When the first occurrence count is greater than 0 and less than the first value, or the second occurrence count is greater than or equal to the third value and less than the second value, the corresponding recommended sterilization level is determined to be the second level.

[0147] In this step, the sterilization intensity corresponding to the second level is less than that corresponding to the first level.

[0148] Because the health risk level of the first-risk area is high, when a user's activity trajectory indicates that they have entered or exited the first-risk area, even if the number of entries and exits is infrequent, appropriate sterilization and disinfection of their clothing is still necessary. Therefore, when the number of times the first-risk area appears is greater than 0 but less than the first numerical value, the corresponding sterilization level is determined to be the second level.

[0149] Since the health risk level in the second risk area is relatively low, if users enter and exit the second risk area infrequently, the lowest level of sterilization is sufficient to ensure the sterilization and disinfection effect on clothing. Therefore, if the recommended sterilization level is determined based on the frequency of the second occurrence, the value of the second occurrence needs to be moderate. That is, when the frequency of the second occurrence is greater than or equal to the third value but less than the second value, the corresponding recommended sterilization level is determined to be the second level. This embodiment does not impose any limitations on the third value. For example, the third value can be 2-4.

[0150] S404. When the number of occurrences of the second occurrence is greater than 0 and less than the number of occurrences of the third occurrence, the corresponding recommended sterilization level is determined to be the third level.

[0151] Among them, the sterilization intensity corresponding to the first level is greater than that corresponding to the second level, which in turn is greater than that corresponding to the third level.

[0152] In this step, when it is determined that the second occurrence count is greater than 0 and less than the third value, the corresponding sterilization level is determined to be the third level.

[0153] It should be noted that users may enter and exit both the first and second risk areas simultaneously. The recommended sterilization level can be determined based on the number of times the first and second risk areas appear, respectively. The final sterilization level to be selected is determined based on the recommended sterilization level with higher sterilization intensity.

[0154] For example, activity area A includes: school, home, gym A, cinema, sports field, and gym B. The first risk area includes hospitals and clinics; the second risk area includes sports fields, gyms, and parks. The second risk value is 5, and the third risk value is 2. The user's first entry / exit frequency in the first risk area is 0, and the user's second entry / exit frequency in the second risk area is 3. Since the third risk value < the second entry / exit frequency < the second risk value, the recommended sterilization level is determined to be level two.

[0155] This application provides a sterilization method for clothing processing equipment. Based on the user's movement trajectory, the method determines the first number of times the user appears in a first risk area and the second number of times they appear in a second risk area. Then, based on the relationship between the first and second occurrence counts and the first, second, and third numerical values, a corresponding recommended sterilization level is determined. This method makes the obtained recommended sterilization level more accurate, ensuring the sterilization effect of the clothing processing equipment while avoiding over-sterilization that could damage the clothing.

Figure 5 As shown, the sterilization device 50 of the garment processing equipment is applied to the garment processing equipment, which includes a storage box for holding disinfectant, and includes a receiving module 501, a determining module 502, and an execution module 503, wherein:

[0157] The receiving module 501 is used to collect the user's movement trajectory within a target time period in response to the user's preset operation, wherein the target time period is determined based on the most recent running time of the clothing processing equipment.

[0167] If the first target area exists, it is determined that the user poses a health risk;

[0168] If the second target area exists and the first target area does not exist, then determine whether the user status corresponding to the second target area is active.

[0169] If so, then the user is confirmed to have a health risk;

[0170] If not, then it is determined that the user does not pose a health risk.

[0171] In one possible implementation, the determining module 502 is further configured to:

[0172] Based on the movement trajectory, determine the first number of times the user appears in the first risk area and the second number of times the user appears in the second risk area;

[0173] When the first occurrence count is greater than or equal to the first value, or the second occurrence count is greater than or equal to the second value, the corresponding recommended sterilization level is determined to be the first level, wherein the first value is less than the second value;

[0174] When the first occurrence count is greater than 0 and less than the first value, or when the second occurrence count is greater than or equal to the third value and less than the second value, the corresponding recommended sterilization level is determined to be the second level.

[0175] When the second occurrence count is greater than 0 and less than the third value, the corresponding recommended sterilization level is determined to be the third level.

[0176] Wherein, the sterilization intensity corresponding to the first level is greater than the sterilization intensity corresponding to the second level, which is greater than the sterilization intensity corresponding to the third level.

[0177] In one possible implementation, the determining module 502 is further configured to:

[0178] Obtain the clothing information of the clothes to be processed in the inner drum;

[0179] The amount of disinfectant to be applied is determined based on the clothing information and the recommended sterilization level.

[0180] Determine the appropriate dosing speed for the disinfectant in the storage box, and determine the target soaking time based on the dosing speed and the amount of disinfectant added.

[0181] In one possible implementation, the storage box is disposed on the water-repellent blade of the inner drum of the garment processing device, and the execution module 503 is further configured to:

[0182] Position a target water-repelling blade containing the storage box within at least one water-repelling blade;

[0183] During the soaking stage, the target water-repellent blade is rotated to a preset position to add disinfectant to the soaking solution.

[0184] In one possible implementation, the determining module 502 is further configured to:

[0186] The display interface of the garment processing equipment displays the program identifier, the sterilization identifier, and the target soaking time;
